E-PARTICIPATION IN EUROPE: A COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE
Authors:   Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Androniceanu Armenia , Georgescu Irina ,   Bucharest University of Economic Studies
Published: May 2022

Public participation is a way for stakeholders of public institutions to participate in the public decision-making process, planning, organizing, and financing activities to achieve common public goals. The research underlying this paper examines the ability of EU states to support e-participation in various ways and activities. The aim of the research is to identify the particularities of EU countries regarding e-participation and to analyze comparatively the changes that took place in the administrations of European states in the period 2010-2018. For this, EViews was applied with the ARDL model (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) to analyze both the variables and the dynamics of the relations between them in the considered period. The data on which the research was conducted were selected from the Eurostat portal, the World Bank, and the United Nations E-Government Database. The results show that during the period analyzed, in most European countries platforms and programs dedicated to cooperation and consultation between the administration, citizens, and economic agents were developed. These changes have led to a reduction in the costs of operating the administrative apparatus and a considerable decrease in administrative bureaucracy. The originality of the research lies in using the ARDL analysis model on e-participation data series in most European countries when ICT (information and communication technology) had a major impact on accelerating the cooperation of administrations with their stakeholders. Good e-participation practices identified in European countries show that efforts to integrate information and communication technologies into state administrations and their relations with citizens are needed and generate major economic and social benefits. States can take models from each other and adapt good practices to their specific realities. Research has highlighted the real need to accelerate this process in Europe, for effective communication between state administrations and between them and their stakeholders.

In 2017–2020, in the territory of the Southern Urals (the Republic of Bashkortostan, Orenburg and Chelyabinsk Regions), we studied the synanthropic communities of transport routes. The syntaxonomic analysis resulted in the description of two associations of the order Agropyretalia intermedio–repentis, the class Artemisietea vulgaris, which are new both for science and the Southern Urals region: Lactucо tataricaе–Psathyrostachyetum junceae ass. nov. and Sisymbrietum volgense ass. nov. They are found in the steppe zone of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Orenburg and Chelyabinsk Regions, along the roadsides of transport routes, less often in wastelands in settlements. Communities dominated by Psathyrostachys juncea are encountered along the roadsides and slopes of highways in the southern part of the Trans–Urals region of the Republic of Bashkortostan. A characteristic feature of the communities of the association Sisymbrietum volgense is the dominance of the invasive Sisymbrium volgense, which settles actively along the transport routes throughout the entire South Urals region. The DCA ordination of the communities of the order Agropyretalia intermedio–repentis confirmed the results of the syntaxonomic analysis and demonstrated significant differences in the ecology of various cenoses by the following ecological factors: moistening, soil texture and structure, soil fertility, and the thermo-climatic factors. The described syntaxa form the most xerophytic branch of the order Agropyretalia intermedio–repentis in the Southern Urals.

Impatiens edgeworthii is an important plant species endemic to Western Himalaya. In this species male reproductive organs conceal the stigma – seat of pollen reception during male phase therefore acts as barrier for self-pollination. In addition the stigma become receptive only after the androecium of the same flower is shed and then receptive stigma become exposed. This unique type of dichogamy and arrangement of essential organs are contrivance for cross-pollination in the species. The large showy flowers, production of large quantities of nectar, protandry, presence of nectar guides, ornamented exine sculpturing, high pollen to ovule ratio points towards cross-pollinated mode of reproduction is operative in this species. This was also established by breeding experiments. Our study may prove useful in conservation of this Himalayan endemic plant species and also useful in understanding the evolution of breeding system in the genus.

The Japanese walnut (Juglans ailantifolia Carrière) is considered a very rare native tree species to Sakhalin Island. There is no information about J. ailantifolia records in the natural broad-leaved mixed forests of the island. The valleys of the Uglegorka and the Nadym Rivers in the Uglegorsk administrative district were noted as the main habitats areas of J. ailantifolia in several sources. We found that all walnut trees from these locations belong to artificial forest stands over 95 years old. We conclude that J. ailantifolia is a non-native species to the modern flora of Sakhalin and was introduced from Japan at the beginning of the XX century.

he archival sources of the Ethnographic commission of the All-Ukrainian Academy (1921–1933) are studied and described in the article. The records of the people’s collectors of folklore-ethnographic materials from various fields of Ukrainian traditional culture are submitted. These are mainly the samples of the 1927–1929, when the population have recovered a little from a terrible famine of the 1921–1923 and try to keep life giving strength for the development of farm and family. Folk customs, rituals and folk calendar holidays, kolyadkas, schedrivkas are preserved completely enough among the inhabitants of Steppe Ukraine. Interesting observations in the field of material culture concerning the land surveying, ploughing technique, dwelling building, are fixed. Folk beliefs, connected with the concepts on earth, fire, animals are of peculiar interest. We have the preservation of archaic elements of culture, when the faith in the forces of demonology exist actively and are typical for all districts of Dnipropetrovsk region. Belief in the witches existence and the means of protection from them are very widespread. The reminiscences on Cossack liberty, their courage are the most frequent in the song folklore. In general, the theme of Cossack times is highly significant in all song and prose genres. The level of existence of folklore-ethnographic phenomena in the first half of the 20th century is presented in these records of correspondents from Dnipropetrovsk region.
Аpotropaic actions of overturning, sticking, smashing as means of defense against the deceased and his demonic hypostases in hutsul myth and ritual practices
Authors:   Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpatian National University, Ivanchuk Vasyl
Published: May 2022

Apotropaic magic actions based on overturning, sticking, smashing are examined on the basis of folkloric and ethnographic discoveries of late 19th and early 20th centuries, and modern authorial field case studies from Hutsulshchyna area. The importance of the topic is determined by polysemantic, and different chronological elements of the archaic culture that these practices contain; they allow us to integrally and systematically research the constituents of funeral ritualism, and also particular occasional phenomena. It is defined that physical actions of overturning, sticking, smashing in Hutsul myth and ritual narratives have a clear apotropiac function of neutralizing the harmful impact of homogeneous, within their genesis, agents of danger – the deceased, and his manistic and demonic images: female characters, loci of nature, household spirits, vampires. Overturning, sticking or smashing as defense actions appear in a rite solely, and in interaction with each other, or are amplified by other items. Sticking achieves a positive result due to outer characteristics of the item that is used: it is, in a way, an autonomous amulet, since it is sharp and made of iron. At least a few paramount motivations are traced in overturning as a defense practice: such causes can originate from manistic motives and be attempts to make it impossible for the secondary entering of the soul into the body of the deceased, or its return into the living space after burying. Overturning and especially its variant: turning inside out, can be also reasonably qualified as a measure called to deceive the source of danger. Sticking could be displayed in the given mythological narratives in relation to everyday analogy, according to which the identical usage of these items neutralizes danger in a physical sense. A more complicated action is dinnerware smashing. On the one hand, defense abilities of this magic rite are improved by the noise caused by breaking, and also by the actional nuance: throwing; on the other hand, the rite performance locus: the threshold can indicate that this practice originated from the means of burying the deceased in the house. At the same time magic defense actions of the same performance and sense, which are based on overturning, sticking, smashing, are traced in other ethnocultural zones, which tells us about their versatility and primary ethnogenetic unity.
THE FEATURES OF THE ACCULTURATION STRATEGIES AND SOCIO-CULTURAL ADAPTATION OF STUDENTS MIGRATED FROM EASTERN UKRAINE

Published: May 2022

The article investigates the acculturation strategies chosen by Ukrainian Inner Displaced Persons (UIDPs) who were students from the uncontrolled territories of Eastern Ukraine within the longitudinal experiment (2015-2019 pp.). Among the acculturation strategies, we analyzed, first of all, integration and assimilation. The correlations among variables such as acculturation strategies and Ukrainian languages proficiency, psychological and social-cultural adaptation, psychological well-being, ambiguity (frustration) tolerance, anxiety and dominant acculturation attitudes of local students toward migrated ones were analyzed. The examined young people were living in the metropolis of Dnipro and the small town of Sievierodonetsk - suburb of Lugansk, which was previously a Ukrainian city and is at ORDLO’s territories currently. The results indicated differences in chosen acculturation strategies by UIDPs students depending on their places of residence (Dnipro metropolis or the small town) and on the types of their psychological adaptation. The direct correlations were found between intention to stay in Ukraine and the Ukrainian-language proficiency, psychological well-being, and vice versa, іndirect correlations were determined between intention to stay in Ukraine and ambiguity (frustration) tolerance and anxiety. Dominant acculturation attitudes of local students from both cities toward migrated young people included expected high assimilative potential which had an indirect negative effect on UIDPs students’ psychological well-being. The problem of the Eastern Ukraine students’ acculturation can be solved in the perspective if theoretical, empirical models and political decisions are coordinated, because chosen acculturation strategies and psychological well-being of such students and their efficient adaptation depend on specific-helping, accompanying, or indulging-neutral support of forced migrants from Eastern Ukraine.

The article examines the problem of the political absenteeism and presents the results of a study of the psychological features of young people who have a tendency to electoral non-participation. The purpose of the article is to analyze the potential socio-psychological factors of young citizens` political abstention. The authors analyze the main political, social, cultural factors of the political absenteeism. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the causes of political passivity of young citizens (the impact of the life cycle, a narrow understanding of the policy concept, and specifics of the political socialization). The authors explore the features of the self-consciousness of the politically passive youth, in particular, it was analyzed the influence of such internal factors as a personal responsibility of the citizen, general trust to the world, a sense of control over events, their awareness of the own significance. The results of the study of socio-psychological factors of youth (18-25 years) propensity to the absenteeism are presented. The researchers found that young people prone to absenteeism are characterized by a higher level of employment (not only education but also work), the presence of unofficial income. Some of them show a certain infantilism and the financial dependence on other family members. Such young people are characterized by a higher (compared with politically active youth) degree of distrust of socio-political institutions (church, courts, President, Verkhovna Rada, Cabinet of Ministers) and an experience of dealing with corruption in various instances. Their avoidance of participation in elections is not related to cognitive factors (lack of the information about this process, candidates, etc.). They explain the reason for their non-participation in the elections by external and situational circumstances. Such respondents tend to show the political passivity, be less interested in politics, and do not show their own initiative in the public sphere. Male respondents were more prone to absenteeism. There is a clear tendency to show absenteeism among young people with distrust and alienation to the world around them, with a generally negative attitude towards controllability and fairness of events in it and a pessimistic attitude to their own "I", their self-worth, and to their own ability to manage events. In addition, respondents prone to absenteeism showed a reduced level of the personal responsibility and the dominance of the situational responsibility especially at the level of the moral-spiritual, emotional-motivational, and behavioral-volitional components of responsibility.

The article analyses the problem of students’ civic identity and studies its language factors. The indicators determining civic identity (patriotism, active citizenship, self-realization in the country, devotion to the country) were quite high in university students and corresponded to high and average levels in the most cases. The respondents showed mainly high indicators of ethnic-linguistic identity, which was manifested in high or average levels of positive attitude towards the Ukrainian language, language skills and ethnic-linguistic attitudes. We determined the peculiarities of ethnic-linguistic and civic identity depending on the language (Ukrainian, Russian and both) that students used in everyday communication. Students who spoken Ukrainian had better Ukrainian language skills, a higher positive attitude towards it, higher ethnic-linguistic attitude and better formed civic identity compared to students who spoken Russian. Patriotism and the general level of civic identity were higher in Ukrainian-speaking students compared to bilingual ones (who spoken both languages). We have found that language influences the formation of civic identity of Ukrainian students. However, not simply language skills, but a positive attitude to it, feeling of significance of language as an important element of the value system in the context of civil society consolidation and ethnic-linguistic attitude as a significant marker of belonging to Ukrainian civil society created such influence.

Published: May 2022

The strong ground motions (GMs) recorded by strong motion networks are significant to increase the accuracy of seismic damage assessment. However, the influence of sensor density on seismic damage assessment remains unclarified. Therefore, a workflow is proposed in this study to quantitatively analyze the influence of sensor density on seismic damage assessment. The scenario-based earthquake simulation method is first used to provide the time history of GM at each location as the ground truth of the analysis. Subsequently, a GM prediction method, namely the interpolation method, is adopted to predict GMs at locations without sensors using measuring data from the limited sensors. Finally, the building scale and region scale seismic damage under different sensor densities are compared to quantitatively analyze the influence of sensor density on seismic damage assessment. A detailed case study for Zeytinburnu District, Istanbul, Turkey, is performed to demonstrate the proposed methods. The findings of this study can provide an important reference for seismic damage assessment and the deployment of strong motion networks.
Delineating the Controlling Factors of Hydraulic Fracturing-Induced Seismicity in the Northern Montney Play, Northeastern British Columbia, Canada, With Machine Learning
Authors: Wang Bei , Kao Honn , Dokht Ramin M. H. , Visser Ryan , Yu Hongyu
Published: May 2022

Recent studies confirm that the distribution of injection-induced earthquakes (IIE) can be related to both natural (e.g., tectonic, geological, and hydrological) settings and operational details. However, the relative importance of operational factors with respect to the natural ones has not been fully understood for the western Canada sedimentary basin. In this study, we train the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) machine-learning algorithm to comprehensively evaluate six geological and seven industrial operational factors suspected to be correlated with the distribution of IIE in the northern Montney play (NMP), British Columbia. We then derive the Shapley Additive Explanations values to quantitatively interpret the outputs from XGBoost. Our results reveal that operational and geological factors have comparable contributions to the IIE distribution. The top four features that contribute most to the seismicity pattern are horizontal distance to the Cordilleran deformation front, cumulative injected volume, shut-in pressure and vertical distance to the Debolt formation (with respect to the hydraulic fracturing [HF] depth). Features with secondary influence are the thickness of the Montney formation, breakdown pressure, cumulative fault length per unit area, and vertical distance to the basement (with respect to the HF depth). Other remaining features (e.g., the average treating pressure and injection rate) appear the least related. Our results provide critical information to establishing a comprehensive susceptibility model that includes key geological and operational factors affecting the IIE distribution in the NMP area.

Los pasajes cubiertos como espacios actantes en “El otro cielo” de Julio Cortázar
Authors: Hiernaux Daniel
Published: May 2022

“El otro cielo”, uno de los cuentos más conocidos del escritor argentino Julio Cortázar, se caracteriza por un desdoblamiento de espacio y tiempo: el protagonista se trasfiere así del Pasaje Güemes de Buenos Aires en el año 1945 a la Galería Vivienne de Paris en 1870, viviendo dos vidas totalmente diferentes. La trama y el peculiar manejo espacio-temporal del cuento llaman la atención de la geografía, no solo por el desdoblamiento de personajes, lugares y temporalidades, sino por el manejo que hace el autor del pasaje cubierto (o galería) como mecanismo de traslado, de articulación entre ambos espacios y temporalidades. Siguiendo la corriente de la geografía humana que se acerca al relato literario no solo como fuente de información sino como manera específica de analizar el espacio, este ensayo hace hincapié en el papel destacado de los pasajes como agentes activos del relato, considerando, como lo sugiere Jacques Lévy siguiendo a Bruno Latour, que el espacio físico  a la par de los objetos materiales intervienen en la construcción de las relaciones sociales y son partes constitutivas de la formación de la espacialidad humana, en este caso en el relato fantástico que ofrece Cortázar.

Published: May 2022

Nada mais apropriado para uma nova publicação periódica que oferecer contributos para a avaliação e atualização da sua agenda. Hoje, pelo seu posicionamento na Universidade e na Sociedade, a Geografia deve contribuir para as respostas adequadas às questões que se colocam no âmbito da sustentabilidade do Planeta a da Humanidade. Acreditamos que há uma prática geográfica que é necessário enaltecer e atualizar, face aos problemas com que a humanidade e os seus territórios se confrontam. É importante voltar ao “trabalho de campo”, adequado aos novos problemas, atualizado com novas técnicas, olhares e sentidos, e recuperar o ethos da Geografia: no trabalho com as comunidades, na participação das populações nos processos de gestão e de ordenamento do território, bem como na compreensão dos riscos naturais e antrópicos, a várias escalas espácio-temporais, das alterações climáticas às contaminações na cultura do ordenamento do território, com as suas evidências, consequências, mitigação e perceção.

Analysis of stiffness of elastic couplings with packages of cylindrical spring sleeves
Authors: Buketkin B.V. , Zyablikov V.M. , Shirshov A.A.
Published: May 2022

The drives of various machine units that transmit energy from one part of the machine to another use couplings as connecting elements, with permanent couplings, including elastic compensating ones with metal elements, being mostly used. The metal elastic elements in the latter may be in the form of packages of spring sleeves. Their important characteristic is torsional stiffness. The paper analyses the influence of the main dimensions of spring sleeves on the torsional rigidity of the coupling. The study was carried out numerically by the finite element method using the ANSYS R17.0 Academic software package on the coupling model in which the spring sleeve package is replaced by one sleeve with a thickness equal to the thickness of the sleeve package. The analysis provides a rationale for the calculation model, using which the analytical dependence of the torsional stiffness of the coupling on its main dimensions was obtained - the position of the center of the package relative to the half-couplings, the dimensions of the package. Analysis of the analytical dependence made it possible to obtain fairly simple relationships that are convenient for calculating the torsional stiffness of the coupling.
On the issue of optimizing the supersonic business aircraft layout in order to reduce sonic boom
Authors: Tyushina M.A. , Tyushin A.V. , Safin R.M.
Published: May 2022

The paper focuses on reducing sonic boom by optimizing the aerodynamic configuration of the aircraft, as well as the forebody parameters. The study emphasizes the urgency of the problem of sonic boom generated by a supersonic business aircraft and introduces the database acquired from research into methods for reducing sonic boom, both as an individual problem and as part of multi-parameter optimization of a supersonic business aircraft. We systematized and processed the data and estimated the methods in terms of their influence, if applied, on the level of sonic boom. Furthermore, we matched each method to the aircraft design stages that are characteristic of its introduction into the configuration. This approach makes it possible to find layout solutions and assess them rapidly at the early stages of designing the configuration of this kind of aircraft.
A thermal mathematical lumped-parameter model of AIST small spacecraft: verification by experimental telemetry data
Authors: Kaurov I.V.
Published: May 2022

The purpose of the study was to model a small spacecraft of the AIST series and verify this thermal mathematical lumped-parameter model using differential equations and relying on telemetry data obtained during the experimental operation of the spacecraft. Thermal lumped-parameter models are widely spread in designing small-sized onboard equipment for small spacecraft. The model calculation was done by Simulink, the MATLAB-based graphical programming environment for modeling multidomain dynamical systems. We developed a system of equations, consisting of equations for each zone from the outer and inner sides, as well as the equations for scientific equipment. The small spacecraft design is based on three-layer honeycomb panels with heat pipes. Photocells are installed on the outer sides of the panels of the spacecraft, thus making a significant contribution to its thermal state.

The rate of disabled individuals is quite high in Kazakhstan. It is a fact that people with disabilities also have problems related to education and work, as well as the problems they face in social life. With the psychological support to be provided in the fields of education, the problems of the disabled individuals can be minimized, the deficiencies can be eliminated, and the fact that they know that they receive education with other individuals with equal opportunities can provide a sense of trust in disabled individuals. This study aims to determine the importance of psychological support for disabled children who continue their education. The qualitative research method was used in the research. Open-ended questions prepared by the researcher were asked. The study group of the research consists of 28 counselor teachers working in a state school with mainstreaming students in Kazakhstan. Results reveal that disabled individuals need psychological support in their education. It turned out that the psychological support provided was insufficient.

Authors: Migena Kecaj , Rina Muka , Edmond Rapti
Published: May 2022

Attachment is the emotional bond between the infant and the primary caregiver that has a tremendous impact throughout their life. The current study aimed to explore the attachment of adolescents to parents and peers, their relationship and the impact on the development of self-esteem in adolescents aged between 16 and 18 years. The sample (N = 561) was randomly selected and data were collected across males (N = 250) and females (N = 311) from high schools. The method used in this study is the descriptive research design and data were collected using questionnaires about attachment and self-esteem. The results indicated that, overall, there was a correlation between parent attachment and peer attachment to self-esteem in adolescents. It turned out that attachment to parents shows a significant relationship with self-esteem regarding peer attachment. According to the research findings, we can conclude that a secure parent attachment contributes to a secure peer attachment and high self-esteem. The findings of this study can serve as an empirical basis for taking initiatives that focus on improving the psychosocial well-being of adolescents.

Strategic Policymaking within Complex Timescapes
Authors: Room Graham
Published: May 2022

The complex interactions of social life serve to structure in time the opportunities, threats, and constraints that confront different social actors. This article examines policymaking within such complex “timescapes.” It does so by reference to the policy sciences literature and the complexity literature. The former is rich in its qualitative treatment of policymaking and time but has been slow to exploit the analytical tools of the complexity literature. The latter has been slow to appreciate the complexity of timescapes and to recognise the importance of power and the struggle for positional advantage. This article develops a synthesis of the two, combining their analytical power.  It shows how this can illuminate the policy world, both conceptually and practically. It draws on Hirschman’s treatment of the “interlocking vicious circles” that hold development back and the “upward spirals” that can—when the time is right—be mobilised. It sets this within an appreciation of political economy and institutionalism.  It concludes by considering the practical tools available for policy makers to navigate complex timescapes—and how the social scientist can subject those policy decisions to stringent scrutiny.
Process Complexity
Authors: Boulton Jean
Published: May 2022

We develop the ontology of “process complexity” and describe how the dynamics of “becoming” can be framed as the emerging, stabilising, and ultimate dissolving of “patterns of relationships.” By extending traditional complexity thinking through introducing a “field theory” view, we develop a more nuanced and inclusive perspective of the processual complex world. We show how this leads to the idea of ontological uncertainty. We demonstrate how process complexity resonates with the ontologies of many different schools of thought including quantum gravity, the process philosophers of the Axial Age, and the early modern process philosophers impacted by Darwin’s theory of evolution, such as Bergson, Whitehead, and James. The remarkable alignment of these diverse perspectives from science and philosophy adds conviction and depth to the development of process complexity. We conclude by indicating how process complexity influences our approach to policy and management practice.

O artigo evidencia a importância da Escola Visconde de Cairu, no contexto do desenvolvimento acelerado de Campo Grande, entre os anos de 1918 e 1945. Para isso, objetiva-se analisar a criação, instalação (zona rural e urbana) e consolidação da referida escola, sediada em Campo Grande, capital do Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul. O estudo baseia-se na análise de fontes documentais constituídas por mensagens presidenciais enviadas à Assembleia Legislativa do Estado de Mato Grosso; relatórios dos intendentes de Campo Grande; documentos coletados nos arquivos da Escola Visconde de Cairu; atas da Câmara Municipal de Campo Grande e jornais da época, obtidos em arquivos públicos e particulares (presencial e/ou on-line). Conclui-se que as escolas de iniciativa particular, no início da década de 1910, introduziram o ensino primário em Campo Grande e expandiram-se consideravelmente na década seguinte. A Escola Visconde de Cairu apresenta crescimento no número de matrícula desde sua criação, sendo mais expressivo nos anos de 1944 e 1945, acompanhando o crescimento populacional lépido do município. Os alunos eram descendentes de japoneses e muitos desses egressos foram admitidos no ensino secundário (Ginásio Osvaldo Cruz e Ginásio Municipal de Campo Grande). O quadro de corpo docente estava constituído por professores de origem japonesa e brasileira, com predominância do sexo feminino.
Detection of health deterioration in a COVID-19 patient at home: the potential of ambient sensor systems

The COVID-19 pandemic created increased interest in monitoring patients at home to allow timely recognition of health deteriorations. Hospital care is particularly demanding in these patients because of the necessity for isolation to avoid further spread of the disease. Therefore, home care is a preferred treatment setting for these patients. This is, to our knowledge, the first report indicating the potential of an affordable, contactless, and unobtrusive ambient sensor system for the detection of signs of health deterioration in a patient with COVID-19 by a caregiver from a distance. Prospective data acquisition and correlation of the data with clinical events were obtained from an 81-year-old senior with COVID-19 before and, in particular, over a period of 10 days prior to hospitalization. Clinical signs included weakness, increased respiration rate, sleep disturbances, and confusion. The visualization of a combination of this information on a dedicated dashboard allowed the caregiver to recognize a serious health deterioration that required a lifesaving hospitalization. The potential of such ambient sensor systems to detect signs of serious health deterioration in patients with COVID-19 opens new opportunities for use in asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic patients who live alone and are sent back to their homes for isolation in quarantine after diagnosis.
Problems detected in collaborative construction work

Engineering is a subject that ranges from extensive collaborations to small individual projects. In our interest in the study of collaboration, we have detected a series of problems in realizing construction and engineering projects that cover different aspects. It is worth highlighting the subject of technical drawing, the different terminology used in the projects, mainly when these are carried out in other locations, the massive use of assisted design software, and the difficulty of carrying out projects collaboratively.Computer-aided design was a catalyst that has been fully implemented in Spain since the 90s in architecture and engineering. The most widespread application worldwide is AutoCAD. Students learn to carry out small projects with software applications. The basis of any project is the drawing of the object to be made. When teaching technical drawing, instructors have noticed fundamental deficiencies in the correct representation of objects.Similarly, those responsible for the projects have shown the absence of this knowledge. This significantly impairs the definition of certain essential elements that must be specified later in the execution due to the changes between what is projected and what can be executed. On the other hand, during the construction boom and mainly due to the commercialization of homes, multiple 3D software emerged to facilitate the prospective buyer's vision of their future home. The proliferation of this type of software has posed a series of problems as students master the computer tool but not the transition from 3D to 2D and vice-versa. Although AutoCAD made it easy to carry out projects with excellent efficiency, it has failed, despite its many updates, to become a collaborative tool that allows several individuals to work on the same file at the same time. However, architecture and engineering projects have always been examples of collaboration, as shown in the Collaborative Intelligence model proposed in our research articles. Specifically, this model is based on three fundamental pillars: area of knowledge, collaborative technology, and intellectual cooperation. Of these three pillars of Collaborative Intelligence, we are most affected by the area of knowledge and collaborative technology since this is where more deficiencies have been detected.This study highlights these difficulties and solves the problems that project managers have detected in their collaborators for students to acquire these skills. We consider that the acquisition of these competencies is based on correct technical drawing learning, although the software is the primary interaction vehicle.
Combining technical and business studies at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid: Analysis of the Double Degree student profile

Double degrees have emerged as an attractive alternative for Spanish university students. The Double Degree in Building and in Business Administration and Management (EDIF-ADE) was a pioneer among the Double Degrees implemented at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and is currently experiencing a great demand. This study analyses the profile of EDIF-ADE students to understand the keys to this success. Through a survey of first-, second-, third-, and fourth-year students, we examined (1) students’ prior knowledge; (2) motivations and interest areas; (3) educational and occupational expectations; (4) results and knowledge acquired. The results of the study reveal that, although most of the students had no prior knowledge of economics and business, they consider this training as an important element in their future professional development that enhances their employability prospects.
