Phylogenetic and molecular analysis based on genes 16S-rRNA, OMPA and POMP to identify Chlamydia abortus infection occurrence at the milk samples of goats and sheep in west Azerbaijan of Iran
Authors: Taheri Fariba , Ownagh Abdulghaffar , Mardani Karim
Published: August 2021

Background and Objectives: Enzootic abortion in sheep and goats, also called ovine enzootic abortion (OEA) or enzootic abortion of ewes (EAE), is caused by Chlamydia abortus. The disease has a major economic impact as it represents the most important cause of lamb loss in sheep in parts of Europe, North America and Africa. This serious and potentially life-threat- ening zoonosis can also affect pregnant women after contact with lambing ewes, leading to severe febrile illness in pregnancy and loss of the foetus.
Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted to the Phylogenetic and Molecular Analysis based on Genes 16S-rRNA, OmpA and POMP of C. abortus in milk samples collected from sheep and goats in West Azerbaijan province, Iran. During 2018, a total number of 360 milk samples were collected from sheep (n = 180) and goats (n = 180) of different regions of the province. All milk samples were subjected to DNA extraction and examined by PCR.
Results: Among 360 milk samples collected from sheep and goats, 31 (8.611%; 95% CI=6.13-11.96) were positive for Chlamydia spp. The helicase, 16S-rRNA and ompA genes were examined and resulted in 8, 31, 31 of positive samples re- spectively. The accession numbers have been deposited in GenBank (NCBI) (MT367602 and MT367603).
Conclusion: Phylogenetic analysis based on the gene of helicase showed that most of the isolates shared similarity > 99.97%.

Published: August 2021

Background and Objectives: Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is a serious infection that usually affects those with a weak immune system. Since the prevalence of this infection in Iran and in the world is not clearly defined, the present study aimed to evaluate the incidence, clinical spectrum, and demographic characteristics of PJP among HIV and non-HIV immunocompromised patients.
Materials and Methods: Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) specimens were obtained from 3 groups of immunocompromised patients, including acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, diabetic patients, and patients receiving immuno- suppressive therapies. All were hospitalized in pulmonary units. The specimens were examined using microscopic methods (Giemsa and calcofluor white staining) and the nested-PCR technique based on mtLSU-rRNA gene.
Results: A total of 120 BAL samples were collected. From 12.5% (5 from 40) of HIV-infected patients, 5% (2 from 40) of patients receiving immunosuppressive therapies, and 2.5% (1 from 40) of diabetic patients Pneumocystis jiroveci was iso- lated. There was not any association between the prevalence of PJP and the patient's gender (p= 0.557) and age (p= 0.681). Fever and dyspnea (n=7, 87.5%), nonproductive cough and abnormal auscultation sound (n=5, 62.5%), and also chills and weight loss (n=2, 25%) were the documented clinical symptoms of PJP. Also, the results showed that none of the samples had positive results for P. jiroveci with microscopic tests while using the nested-PCR method 8 samples had positive results.
Conclusion: Since PJP often causes symptoms that are similar to other illnesses, such as the flu or tuberculosis, clinical and laboratory findings should be used simultaneously for making the final decision on drug administration.

Authors: Konuma Takaaki , Takahashi Shunsuke , Suzuki Masato , Tojo Arinobu
Published: August 2021

The polymerase chain reaction-based open reading frame typing (POT) method is a simple and rapid method for the strain-level discrimination of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We investigated the molecular charac- teristics of S. aureus strains by multilocus sequencing typing (MLST) and POT and the profiles of antibiotic resistance and virulence genes of MRSA isolates in a single center of Tokyo, Japan. Five types by MLST and 19 types by POT were detected in the 25 MRSA isolates. ST5 and a POT1 score of 93 were associated with healthcare-associated MRSA, whereas ST8 and a POT1 score of 106 were associated with community-associated MRSA. Each strain evaluated by POT score was completely associated with similar profiles of antibiotic resistance and virulence genes. These data showed that the POT system was a powerful molecular tool for the epidemiological characterization of MRSA isolates, which correlated with the profiles of antibiotic resistance and virulence genes.
On-site vs Online Teaching: Challenges and Coping Strategies
Authors: Schipor Maria-Doina , Duca Diana-Sînziana
Published: August 2021

We address in this work the relationship between the perceived demands of the teaching profession as they are conceptualized by job demands-resources model and the teachers coping strategies activated in on-site and online teaching. The participants (N=127) were a convenience sample of Romanian teachers. Specifically, we found that the teaching demands are perceived as being more challenging in online environment when teaching involves interacting with talented children, with children with behavioural problems or with abandoned children. Teachers from rural areas perceive the online teaching of talented children more demanding compared to teachers from urban areas and there are correlations between the teachers’ seniority and the teaching demands. The obtained results also showed that some teaching demands in online situation correlate significantly with certain coping strategies (e.g. the positive reappraisal coping strategy is activated by teachers who perceive the different levels of children's development as being challenging in online situation, and the acceptance strategy is used by teachers who resent an increase in teaching workload due to children who disturb the activity in the classroom). These findings are discussed in order to develop strategies to enhance the quality of teaching practices.

Published: August 2021

Today’s reality demonstrates the need of the society for qualified specialists who can interact with children at a high professional level, provide them with assistance and support and promote proper gender-role socialization, taking into account their gender differences. The paper aims to verify socio-pedagogical conditions and the author’s model of training future specialists in social and pedagogical fields for gender socialization of socially vulnerable children. The experimental group (EG) consisted of 110 respondents, whereas the control group (CG) - 120 respondents. The experimental model was based on the principles of an environmental approach, which allows one to design the educational environment of a higher education institution; a gender approach, which is aimed at creating comfortable conditions for gender identification and effective socialization of the individual; a competency-based approach, which shifts the emphasis from the educational process to its results. Research methods include the following: empirical methods - diagnostic methods (questionnaires, surveys, tests, interviews), observational methods (participant observation) to identify the levels of future social educators’ readiness to work with preschoolers. The number of future social educators with a sufficient level of such readiness has increased from 4.8% to 23.6%; the number of future social educators with an average level has increased from 33.7% to 35.1%; the number of future social educators with a low level has decreased from 61.5% to 41.3%. The obtained results of CG and EG differ significantly, owing to the implementation of socio-pedagogical conditions of professional training for future specialists in social and pedagogical fields for gender socialization of socially vulnerable children in the educational process of higher educational institutions (HEIs) with education faculties.

Published: August 2021

The article substantiates the feasibility of introducing student theatre in the professional training of future teachers on the basis of generalizing the experience of theatre pedagogy. The student theatre is considered as a form of art and pedagogical activity, oriented on personal development, self-development, and improvement of creative abilities of future teachers, formation of professional self-sufficiency by means of multilevel artistic and pedagogical communication in the system of higher pedagogical education. The characteristic features of the phenomenon of “artistic and pedagogical communication” are analysed and considered in two conceptual meanings: artistic and pedagogical. The multi-level artistic and pedagogical communication of the student theatre is defined as the interdependent process of professional training of future teachers, which integrates the internal and external interaction of subjects of artistic and creative activity. In this regard, the multi-level artistic and pedagogical communication of the students' theatre participants is presented as a consistent acquirement of role-playing in the process of certain levels of artistic and pedagogical communication. The characteristics of the levels of artistic and pedagogical communication are divided into: contemplative-oriented, creative-performing, artistic-active, and art studies. The article gives a determination of criteria and corresponding levels of mastering of multilevel artistic and pedagogical communication by future teachers.

Published: August 2021

The aim of the article is to present the main peculiarities of the process of intercultural tolerance formation at higher education institution and the results of implementation of the pedagogical technology of future masters intercultural tolerance formation developed by the authors. A new approach to solving the scientific problem of increasing the level of intercultural tolerance of future masters is based on organizing the process of intercultural tolerance formation as an integral pedagogical process, based on strengthening interdisciplinary links, introduction of adequate sequential pedagogical technology as well as during extracurricular activities that will contribute to the personal development of future masters. The results of the survey conducted before the implementation of a new pedagogical technology showed that the majority of future masters had mostly low and average level of intercultural tolerance that did not allow them to work efficiently with the representatives of foreign cultures. The pedagogical experiment, the goal of which was to check the efficiency of the implementation of the developed pedagogical technology of the formation of future masters intercultural tolerance, proved the effectiveness of the proposed technology and confirmed the formulated hypothesis of the study. The majority of future masters in the experimental group reached the average and the high levels of intercultural tolerance, while the results of intercultural tolerance formation in the control group, where students were taught in the traditional way, showed a slight dynamics at the average level.

Published: August 2021

There appears to be an urgent need to improve the system of training qualified
specialists for small schools who can respond to modern changes in education, meet
socio-economic needs of the village, follow the major trends in the development of
school theory and practice and creatively implement the acquired professional knowledge
and skills under the conditions of small different age groups. The paper aims to
determine pedagogical conditions, develop and theoretically justify a methodology for
training future primary school teachers to organize collective forms of work in small
rural schools and experimentally verify its effectiveness. The methodology for training
future primary school teachers to organize collective forms of work in small rural
schools involves acquiring the content of professional training in a specially modelled
pedagogical environment by students during the whole period of university study. The
following empirical methods were used: observations, surveys, expert assessment, an
analysis of products of students’ creative activity, pedagogical experiment, methods of
mathematical statistics (a chi-square (c2)) statistic). An analysis of the results
obtained from the control experiment shows some positive dynamics in the readiness of
future primary school teachers for this activity (the percentage of students with a
creative-and-interpretive level has increased by 16%, whereas the number of students
with a fragmentary-and-formal level has decreased by 17.1%), which proves the
effectiveness of the developed methodology. The experimental work has significantly
enriched the axiological potential of future teachers from small rural schools and
developed their system of psycho-pedagogical knowledge about the organization of
collective activities of pupils from different age groups, as well as their skills
needed to plan, design and organize inter-age interaction in its various forms and
conduct a reflective analysis of their pedagogical activity.

Published: August 2021

Preparation for the profession of a nurse requires, in addition to knowledge, the
development of specific skills; many of them are primarily connected to cognitive
abilities. In the context of effective education, one of the key facts is to recognise
the intelligence structure of nursing students. The aim of the research was to analyse
the intelligence structure in nursing students, to compare scores in individual areas of
intelligence with the norm, to identify problematic areas of intelligence, and to
suggest possibilities for intervention in education. The research sample consisted of
266 women aged 19 to 43 years old (average age = 20.10 years) - current students of the
study field of nursing at the bachelor's degree. Data collection was carried out in the
years 2014 - 2019. To measure the structure of intelligence, a standardized IST-70
questionnaire was used, focusing on two meta constructs - reasoning and memory. Subtests
of numerical, verbal, and figural intelligence were analysed within the meta construct
of reasoning. The value of the gross score of the total intelligence level of the
examined group (M = 84.95; SD = 19.87) is comparable (t = -1.58; sig. = 0.114) with the
population norm (M = 87; SD = 25). The research sample of nursing students scored
statistically significantly higher in the meta construct of memory (t = 7.84; sig. =
0.000) and significantly lower in the meta construct of reasoning (t = -3.876, sig. =
0.000). The most significant deficits were present in figural and numerical
intelligence. In view of the results achieved, we recommend introducing interventions in
the area of training future nurses, which should be aimed at compensating for deficits
in figural and numerical intelligence.

Published: August 2021

English language proficiency is a vital requirement for air-to-ground
communication for aviation specialists. A special attention should be paid to developing
speaking skills of future pilots, air traffic controllers and engineers. Our research
has shown that future aviation specialists come across certain challenges in the process
of communication in English: insufficient aviation knowledge to give an opinion, low
motivation to speak, poor grammatical skills and insufficient knowledge of vocabulary
items, uneven participation in discussions, and fear of making mistakes. To overcome
these challenges some recommendations were formulated for teachers to follow. The
problem-solving activities were chosen and designed to enhance students’ speaking
skills. They include value-clarification tasks, discussions, role-plays, information-gap
activities, describing pictures, and discussing videos. This research aims to define the
impact of applying these problem-solving activities on developing students’ speaking
skills. 120 second year students in aviation specialties took part in this experiment.
They were divided into a control and an experimental group of equal numbers. In both
groups, the teachers taught the same Aviation English content which corresponded to the
syllabus. In addition, in the experimental group the teacher implemented the
problem-solving activities, which contributed significantly to the development of future
aviation specialists’ speaking skills.
An environmental approach to developing and applying smart complexes of academic
disciplines in professional training of future specialists
Authors: Humennyi Oleksandr , Radkevych Oleksandr , Radkevych Valentyna
Published: August 2021

The paper discloses modern approaches to creating integrated information
environments of SMART complexes of academic disciplines through integrating creative,
authorial, non-verbal, encyclopaedic, information-and-communication, self-realization,
self-assessment components in professional (vocational) and pre-university professional
education. It lists the advantages of such complexes compared to e-textbooks and reveals
the requirements for developing them. It highlights the ways of considering future
specialists’ psycho-physiological development when selecting and structuring educational
information. It recommends applying constructive equalization of students’ cognitive
activity based on the Kosko’s quasi-neural network model in their designing an
educational trajectory. It shows conditions for ensuring equal opportunities for
students’ learning within such complexes. Both selection and structurization of such
complexes’ educational information follow students’ psychological development in
perceiving it and focus on critical feature patterns of the adaptive resonance theory
and the Hopfield model for associative memory. The paper suggests evaluating students’
activities within such complexes by comparing each participant’s achievements with the
parameters of completed projects, using the index method based on qualimetric
measurements. It specifies the features of an environmental approach in developing such
complexes; elaborating their educational material; determining types of learning tasks;
creating means of monitoring students’ knowledge. It justifies the results of
experimental work, which involved surveying 442 teachers and analyzes the influence of
such complexes on the effectiveness of the educational process. It highlights the
importance of introducing heuristic forms, methods and techniques of students’ learning
to help students obtain, systematize and consolidate educational information and acquire
practical skills in performing creative projects and professional tasks.

Published: August 2021

Changes in the field of production, politics and education pose new requirements for foreign language training of professional personnel. The need for highly qualified specialists, including non-philological specialties, has increased. Taking into account the need to prepare future workers for professional activities, taking into account the new requirements of the information society, the main emphasis in vocational education should be placed precisely on information and communication technologies (ICT). The main task of vocational training is the preparation of qualified competitive personnel with a high level of professional knowledge, abilities, skills and mobility that meet the requirements of scientific and technological progress and market relations in the economy, the upbringing of socially active members of society, the formation of their scientific worldview, creative thinking. The purpose of the article is to analyse theoretically the possibilities of using information and communication technologies as a means of professional foreign language training and to test experimentally conceptual authorial provisions on the example of civil defence specialists.

The article provides theoretical generalizations on the use of dance therapy in the correction and socialization of individuals with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). It also presents the author’s year-long programme of such rehabilitation and quasi-experimental observations on its effectiveness. The article proves that dance therapy performs a much wider range of functions, than correction of MSDs. It acts as an effective way of social and psychological adaptation of individuals with MSDs. In particular, it allows one to develop independence, train relaxation skills and concentration, enhance the creativity of the inner self, creative imagination, reduce tension in the team, listen to and hear others better, relieve body tension, enhance communication skills, develop intellectually in the field of various arts, identify and correct problems in a particular child and children groups. The article proposes the hypothesis according to which one-year dance therapy should improve the manifestations of social adaptation of individuals with MSDs. The findings of the article can be used, first of all, in the post-Soviet countries, where dance therapy does not have a long tradition and requires borrowing international experience.

Against the background of the renewal of approaches to the development of geography education, the formation of national-patriotic consciousness among students, the introduction of pedagogical technologies into the educational process in order to study the characteristics of their native land, the question arises of the need to modernize the training of future geography teachers in local lore and tourism work. The purpose - to theoretically substantiate and experimentally check pedagogical conditions of preparation of future teachers of geography for local lore and tourist work on the basis of the competence approach. 236 students majoring in "Geography and Biology" with a bachelor's degree formed a control group and 232 - an experimental group. The pedagogical conditions of training of future teachers of geography for local lore and tourist work on the basis of the competence approach are defined and realized: stimulating positive motivation to study local lore material in the disciplines of the cycle of general (fundamental) and professional (scientific-subject) training and disciplines of additional specialization "Local lore and tourism work"; acquisition of knowledge, skills (competencies) for the implementation of local lore and tourism work through the optimization of student groups; intensification of the experience of local lore and tourism work during educational and pedagogical practices. The effectiveness of pedagogical conditions is proved by the results of the formative experiment: the number of students with a high level of local lore competence in the experimental group increased, while in the control group the same indicator did not increase significantly. The results of the study indicate a dynamic positive change in the formation of local lore competence of experimental groups under the influence of the proposed innovations.

Authors: Seregin A.A. , Kravtsov A.G.
Published: August 2021

The article formulates the condition for the simultaneous operation of all elements of the roller freewheel clutches. Based on this condition, a functional dependence of the profiling involute line of the sprocket working surface was obtained, ensuring the constancy of the angle of roller jamming, regardless of their size. The algebra of n-dimensional hypercomplex numbers is used to describe the isometry of the profiling involute line in space. This mathematical tool is used to simplify the translation of the involute surface equation into program blocks of numerically controlled machine. The formulas are given to determine the optimal values of the tolerances for the dimensions of the clutch parts. Requirements for the accuracy of manufacturing clutch parts have been developed. An express method for calculating the operational reliability of freewheeling clutches is proposed. The results of calculations by the proposed method are in qualitative agreement with the results of observations of the clutch operation and experimental data.
Myśl Jacques’a Poulaina o człowieku i instytucjach
Authors: Leguérinel Luc
Published: August 2021

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie syntezy myśli filozoficznej Jacquesa Poulaina dotyczącej języka, jego znaczenia dla człowieka i dla społeczeństwa. W pierwszym kroku przybliżona zostaje zaczerpnięta z wiedzy antropobiologicznej myśl zawarta w wielu pracach Poulaina, zgodnie z którą dziecko nie jest w stanie wejść w świat bezpośrednio za pomocą zmysłów i działań, lecz za pośrednictwem języka, nie jest też w stanie wejść w świat i stać się zdolnym do samodzielnego myślenia i działania podmiotem inaczej niż za sprawą trzeciej instancji, jaką jest mowa. Zdaniem autora odnosi się to także do wymiaru społeczno-instytucjonalnego, bowiem wedle ustaleń dwudziestowiecznej antropologii filozoficznej człowiek jako istota językowa może siebie przekształcać jedynie nie wprost, dzięki pośredniczącej roli trzeciej instancji – mowy, która najpierw przybierała postać bogów, by z czasem przyjąć formę sądów prawdziwościowych dotyczących własnego życia. Współcześnie, jak twierdzi Poulain w polemice z Habermasem, podstawą globalnej komunikacji może być jedynie transkulturowa językowa wymiana – to język pozostaje przestrzenią, w której człowiek może znajdować uznanie, dokonywać sądów i dążyć do harmonii z innymi.
Communicative action and practical discourse to empower patients in healthcare-related decision making
Authors: Napiwodzka Karolina
Published: August 2021

The aim of the paper is to reconsider Habermas’ discourse approach in terms of its usefulness in the realm of public healthcare where, on a microscale, intersubjective communicative situations arise between defined participants, i.e., patients and healthcare providers, patients’ family members, and further eligible contributors to patient-related decision making. A need for more “communicative interaction,” and explicative and practical discourse, is illustrated by two empirical examples of medical decision making which reveal both communicative and discursive deficits (Section I). To empower and enable the patient as a rational and autonomous speaker and discourse participant, a Habermasian emancipatory argument and ‘the power of the better argument’ is recalled (Section III). The possibility of equal communicative and discursive rights in the light of real inequalities is discussed in the context of a ‘competence gap’ between participants (Section IV). Further sections focus on the importance of informed consent on the side of the patient and the communicative competences as an important factor of healthcare system.
"Sensing – thinking with the Earth. An ecology beyond the Occident"
Authors: Heusghem Corentin
Published: August 2021

This book review is about the French translation of a book by the anthropologist Arturo Escobar that, though it has not been translated into English yet, deserves to be known by English readers. This book is quite important since it allows one to understand occidental, capitalist and modern hegemony not only as an economic domination but above all as a cultural, epistemological and ontological colonisation. Indeed, according to Escobar, this domination takes its roots in the Occident’s ontology which translates into hegemonic practices that are concrete threats to the other worlds and their dwellers. Thus, Escobar highlights the deep link between ontologies and practices and argues for a new field of study he calls political ontology or ontological politics. To accompany the proposition of a shift from a universal nature to a pluriverse composed of many worlds, Escobar does not only undermine the prejudices of modernity but also puts forward the relational ontologies from indigenous communities of Latin America that concretely resist colonisation, underlining the ontological dimension of their struggles. Such a framework enables one to overcome or at least minimize the distinction between theory and practice.

ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ ИНСТИТУТА СЕМЬИ В РОССИЙСКОМ ОБЩЕСТВЕ: СОЦИАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОТИВОРЕЧИЯ И СОЦИОЛОГИЧЕСКИЕ ИЛЛЮЗИИ
Authors: Вялых Никита Андреевич
Published: August 2021

Актуальность статьи обусловлена необходимостью преодоления существующих разночтений в понимании социальной сущности трансформации института семьи в современной российской социологии. Цель заключается в переоценке научно-исследовательских практик анализа структурных, ценностных и ролевых измерений брачно-семейных отношений. Новизна работы состоит в определении типичных иллюзий и противоречий, характерных для методологии социологического исследования брачно-семейных отношений. В первой части статьи раскрываются основные тенденции трансформации брачно-семейной сферы. В настоящее время прослеживается тенденция преодоления познавательной односторонности эволюционной и кризисной парадигм в попытке определения вектора социальных изменений семейного поведения в российском обществе. Вторая часть посвящена анализу социологического типа мышления в фамилистических исследованиях. Показано, что репрезентация семьи в виде ячейки институциональной матрицы является скорее методологической необходимостью, чем объективной реальностью. Особое внимание уделяется когнитивной установке многих ученых на социальную критику государственной семейной политики в России. Автор приходит к выводу о важности повышения роли личной ответственности в сфере благополучия и социального здоровья института семьи в современном российском обществе.

Urbanizaciones cerradas en el área sur de la ciudad de Santiago, 2010-2019
Authors: Navarro Juan José
Published: August 2021

La literatura especializada ha caracterizado, dentro de las dimensiones fundamentales de la ciudad neoliberal, a la urbanización cerrada. De esa manera, conforma parte del paisaje de las distintas ciudades latinoamericanas. La edificación cerrada continúa proliferando y diversificándose en sus formas, ubicándose en distintos territorios donde existan condiciones para su reproducción. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las urbanizaciones cerradas en las comunas de Puente Alto, La Florida, San Bernardo, Maipú, Peñaflor, Padre Hurtado y Talagante, ubicadas al sur de la ciudad de Santiago de Chile. La metodología se basó en información proveniente de permisos de edificación, el portal inmobiliario Toctoc e imágenes satelitales integradas a un software de SIG. A partir de lo anterior, se examinaron las características de este tipo de complejos con el fin de evidenciar su comportamiento espacial. Los resultados generales establecen una proliferación tanto en las comunas que son parte del límite urbano consolidado como en las que se encuentran fuera, así como una gama de tipologías orientadas a diversos estratos sociales, desde proyectos sociales hasta otros de lujo. Pese a ser parte de la actual configuración territorial de la zona de estudio, las urbanizaciones cerradas presentan diferencias entre ellas y respecto del resto de construcciones aledañas, por lo que perpetúan procesos de fragmentación espacial.
El concepto de pre-mapa como herramienta para abordar el análisis espacial
Authors: Hernández Nelcy Azucena
Published: August 2021

El contenido de este artículo presenta los resultados de la investigación sobre modelos, con énfasis en aquellos que permiten la representación gráfica de variables, que intervienen en la ocurrencia de un fenómeno, sobre lo cual se desarrolla el concepto de premapa, como elaboración conceptual de relaciones espaciales entre dichas variables y como instrumento de análisis y representación, previa elaboración de un mapa analítico o sintético. Todo esto, teniendo como referencia el concepto de espacio como objeto de estudio de la geografía, para responder a una necesidad dentro del proceso de investigación geográfica, en donde aún no se elabora cartografía temática a partir de planteamientos conceptuales con ayuda de premapas y, por lo tanto, no se reconoce su valor como elementos necesarios en el correcto tratamiento de la información espacial.
Transporte urbano sostenible: medidas desde la administración y transporte público como alternativa en Bogotá D.C.
Authors: Jiménez Murillo Munar Sonia
Published: August 2021

En medio de los problemas ambientales generados por el transporte urbano, y la preocupación mundial por la sostenibilidad ambiental, surgen en Bogotá, D.C., como en muchas otras ciudades, medidas para contrarrestar los efectos contaminantes de las fuentes móviles, sobre todo en la calidad del aire. En este artículo se comentan brevemente las medidas implementadas en Bogotá, D.C. para desincentivar el uso del automóvil privado y crear conciencia para generalizar el uso de modos alternativos de transporte, además, se analiza la condición del transporte público en la ciudad, como opción en la búsqueda de una movilidad sostenible. Se presenta un indicador de accesibilidad al transporte público, que combina diferentes variables para determinar el cubrimiento del sistema y concluir si es posible acoger a todos los usuarios de la ciudad, de manera satisfactoria.

Metropolización de Barranquilla y problemática espacial de Soledad - Atlántico
Authors: Llanos Henríquez Efraín
Published: August 2021

En este ensayo se hace un análisis de la influencia que el proceso de metropolización de Barranquilla ha ejercido en el surgimiento y consolidación de la problemática espacial del municipio de Soledad y de la manera como la Nueva Planeación Territorial Estratégica (NPTE) puede contribuir en la solución de dicha problemática. Se basa, más que todo, enuna profunda revisión bibliográfica acerca de las tres temáticas que se abordan: metropolización, problemática espacial y NPTE, de igual forma, se utilizan las experiencias vividas por el autor en estos dos municipios del departamento del Atlántico. Se inicia el artículo con una caracterización del proceso de metropolización de Barranquilla, se continúa con la descripción y análisis de la problemática espacial de Soledad, y se finalizacon los aportes que la NPTE puede hacer en la búsqueda de soluciones eficaces a los problemas espaciales que presenta este municipio del Caribe colombiano.

Transformación físico-espacial de los paisajes boscosos del sector sur del Parque Nacional Natural los Katíos (1989-2010)
Authors: Aldana Domínguez Juanita
Published: August 2021

En este artículo se analizan las transformaciones físico-espaciales de los paisajes boscosos del sector sur del Parque Nacional Natural los Katios, área patrimonio de la humanidad, y del área colindante del Título Colectivo Río Cacarica, zona de propiedad de comunidades afrocolombianas. El análisis se basa en la geografía física donde el paisaje se concibe como el resultado de la combinación de elementos físicos, biológicos y antrópicos, y donde la cobertura vegetal es el elemento indicativo del paisaje. Se hizo un estudio cartográfico multitemporal de la cobertura y uso del suelo para los años 1989 y 2010, a partir de la interpretación de imágenes de satélite. Los resultados muestran una pérdida promedio anual del 0,5 % de las coberturas boscosas y cambios en el uso del suelo producto de las actividades antrópicas. La ubicación y cuantificación del problema de la deforestación y el planteamiento de acciones para enfrentarlo, contribuirán a la conservación de los paisajes y a mejorar el bienestar de la población.
La administración. Un interesante camino por descubrir
Authors: Álvarez Rincón Carmen Moraima
Published: August 2021

Hoy se habla de administración al mencionar el programa, al nombrar una materia un hecho en una empresa por parte de sus dirigentes e incluso al referirnos al mismo gobierno pero, ¿Qué tanto hemos indagado sobre su procedencia?, ¿acaso sabemos si el termino administración siempre fue de uso común?, ¿ o simplemente nos conformamos con saber lo que en este momento nos significa o representa? Quizás, no le hemos dado la importancia necesaria por esto es de interés retomar lo que se ha avanzado acerca de la administración.

Historia y procesos de la ciencia de la administración
Authors: Merchán Gómez Yolima Andrea
Published: August 2021

En momentos de la vida es importante conocer el desarrollo que han tenido las cosas que influyen en la vida; saber si desde su origen siguen siendo las mismas o si por el contrario a través de los tiempos han cambiado o han sufrido algunas modificaciones.Es importante identificar que la administración al igual que todo también tiene su historia y un proceso de transformación pues es conocido que "Donde quiera que hubo acción humana para obtener algo, para lograr un fin se probo alguna forma de organización y de racionalización del trabajo." Es por esto que se retoman tiempos pasados donde las formas primitivas de organización familiar se toman como una práctica administrativa, pues la vida exigía una distribución de - tareas entre los integrantes que a su vez surgieron lideres que dirigían las actividades de una comunidad para la realización de diversas tareas como la caza, la pesca y la recolección de frutos, especialmente en las agrupaciones nómadas.
