Valuation and willingness to pay for corn on the cob consumers in Mexico
Authors: Jauregui Carla , Espejel Anastacio , Hernández Arturo
Published: March 2021

The corn is a traditional food in Mexico that has been influenced by the current dynamics of the markets, causing the replacement of creole varieties by improved varieties and hybrids. Foods are characterized by a set of attributes that can be associated with a subjective evaluation, from which it is possible to approximate a utility function and determine elements for its evaluation. The objective of this work was to evaluate the Mexican consumer's willingness to pay for various types of corn and to determine which of them have a higher valuation. The methodology was based on a contingent valuation study, with a total of 356 consumers selected by snowball sampling (95% reliability and 7% error) and answering a questionnaire designed in Google forms, addressing consumer sociodemographic information, characteristics corn and their willingness to pay. The willingness to pay extra for corn was significantly influenced when the consumer determined that it is important to know if the corn comes from Creole or modified seed and if it has any certification. Creole and imported corn obtained a greater willingness to pay, giving higher valuation to these products. In conclusion, the present work explores the economic valuation of corn, where significant factors can be used to induce an effect on consumers, particularly in the revaluation of creole corn.

Naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs) are apartment, condo, co-op and social housing buildings that while not purpose-built for older adults, have become home to a high number of them. In Toronto, there are 489 residential buildings that are NORCs. Of these, 256 are located in neighbourhoods with the highest cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2, and are home to 40,955 older adults 65 years of age and above, including 18,144 older adults 80 years of age and above. Prioritizing COVID-19 vaccination by both age and neighbourhood of residence is an effective strategy to minimize deaths, morbidity, and hospitalization. Targeting people living in NORCs in high-risk neighbourhoods for early vaccination is a practical application of that strategy, which will also address barriers to vaccination in this population.

Authors: Fuchylo Y. D. , Zelinskyi B. V.
Published: March 2021

Purpose. Investigation of the features of growth, development and productivity of energy willow varieties on peat-bog and alluvial sandy soils in the floodplains of the Kyiv Polissia rivers.

Methods. Field, laboratory, analytical, and statistical.

Results. It is advisable to use the variety ‘Zbruch’, to create willow energy plantations on the peat-swampy soils of the Kyiv Polissia. It is characterized by the highest yield of three-year biomass (9.84 t/ha), while in the ‘Ternopil’ cultivar the maximum was 3.29 t/ha and in the Salix triandra clone 2.68 t/ha. On alluvial sandy soil, the highest average height (194 ± 6.6 cm), with a productivity of two-year biomass of 3.15 t/ha had Swedish variety ‘Tordis’. In addition, relatively high productivity have Polish varietyes ‘082’ and ‘1047’ and the domestic variety ‘Ternopil’. The productivity of the latter after two years of growth on the sandy soil is 1.53–6.41 t/ha, and after three years on the peat soil only 1.74–3.29 t/ha. To increase the productivity of energy plantations of willow on fresh alluvial sandy soils, it is advisable to apply organic and mineral fertilizers, and on peat soils to apply deep plowing, to conduct proper control over the number of weeds, to use the density of planting cuttings about 20 000 plants ha and a 4-year biomass harvest cycle.

Conclusions. It is established that in alluvial soils of floodplains of Kyiv Polissia rivers, fresh alluvial soils are more suitable for growing willow energy plantations than rich on organic substances moist peat-bog soils. ‘Tordis’, ‘082’, ‘1047’ and ‘Ternopil’ varieties are promising for growing on the sandy soils of the study area, and ‘Zbruch’ for peat soils. Considering the low fertility of the studied variants of marginal lands, in order to increase the efficiency of cultivation of energy biomass of willow on them, first of all, it is necessary to improve the water-physical properties of soils.

Authors: Sabluk V. T. V. T. , Hryschenko O. M.
Published: March 2021

Purpose. To generalize and analyze the data provided by state phytosanitary inspections of the Department of Phytosanitary Safety of the State Veterinary Service of Ukraine on the dynamics of development of the main pests in sugar beet stands in Ukraine in 2019 and to forecast their appearance and possible damage in the current year.

Methods. Field, accounting, analytical.

Results. In 2020, sugar beet crops may be damaged by beetroot weevil, grey beetroot weevil, beet stalk borer, beet flea, beet leaf miner, beetroot aphids and other pests. According to the results of autumn field monitoring, 57% of beet areas was colonized by beetroot beetle with an average number per 1 m2 of 0.5–1.0 (beetles, pupae) with the maximum number of 2–9 in Volyn, Kyiv, Poltava, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy regions. During the autumn excavations, the beetles in the population were 75%, pupae 20% and larvae 5%. In respect to grey beetroot weevil, it made the greatest damage to sugar beet crops in Kyiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Sumy, Volyn, Kirovohrad, Khmelnytsk, and other regions, where it colonized 24–100% of stands with an average number of 0.1–0.6 with a maximum of 0.6–1.0. It damaged, on average, 2–6% of stands with the maximum of 7–12%. Autumn monitoring of the pest found a significant number of the pest in all beetroot regions with an average number of 0.5–0.7 with the maximum of 1.0–4.0. In addition, autumn monitoring revealed a significant number of beet stalk borer (average 0.1–0.7, maximum 0.7–1.0 specimens) in farms of Poltava and Cherkasy regions. Beet tortoise beetles were detected on 10–100% of the monitored area with an average number of 0.1–0.4, which is lower than in long-term observations. In the majority of areas, goosefoot tortoise beetles dominated (33–100%). On average, the ratio was 54% of goosefoot and 46% of beet root tortoise beetles. The wintering stock of beet beetle was slightly lower than in the last year and amounted to an average of 14–54, with the maximum in Vinnytsia, Rivne, Khmelnytskyi regions (76–100). Autumn inspections of host plants (red bilberry, snowball tree, jasmine) revealed 12–36, maximum 150 wintering eggs of leaf aphids per 1 meter of a branch. The wintering stock of beet leaf miner was 0.8–1.8, somewhere 2.9 (in Ternopil, Vinnytsia Khmelnytsk regions), which is at the level of the last year’s numbers.

Conclusions. The wintering stock of harmful sugar beet insects exceeds the generally accepted economic thresholds for harmfulness. The timely prognosis of the development and reproduction of sugar beet pests and the application of a complex of organizational, economic, biological and chemical measures to control their numbers will create conditions for the preservation of root harvest, improving root quality and reduce unreasonable pollution of the environment with chemicals.

The influence of perennial bioenergy crops on the soil fertility restoration
Authors: Roik M. V. , Hanzhenko O. M. , Honcharuk H. S.
Published: March 2021

It was found that long-term cultivation of perennial cereal bioenergy plants has a positive effect on the fertility of low-yielding soils. Thus, for the cultivation of switchgrass for nine years, the content of organic carbon in the soil increased from 1.87 to 2.40%, and for the cultivation of giant miscanthus for six years from 1.87 to 2.42%. Conclusions. Laying plantations of perennial cereal bioenergy plants on low-yielding and erosion-prone lands helps to restore their fertility and provides a sustainable supply of high quality feedstock for the production of biofuels.

Authors: Sabluk V. T. , Hryshchenko O. M. , Smirnykh V. M. , Pedos V.  P.
Published: March 2021

Purpose. Investigation of the species composition and the number of plant feeders in energy willow plantations.

Method. Field, accounting, statistical, analytical.

Results. Today, growing plants for the production of biofuels is a promising source of energy that have a high potential for energy recovery. Biomass of energy crops such as willow is a renewable energy source with zero balance of carbon dioxide and methane. Fast-growing trees such as willow are perennials that are able to produce biomass over a long period. However, like any plant, willow is a host tree for many living organisms, including insects. According to the results of our observations and records, among the latter, this crop is damaged by both soil and land plant feeders. Of the soil pests, the most dangerous for willow are the larvae of several species of May beetles, which feed on the roots causing significant inhibition of growth and development of plants or even their death. The number of these insects per square meter in different zones ranges from 0.6–0.8 to 1.6–1.9. In the focuses, the population density of the larvae per square meter reaches 8.8. In addition to beetle larvae, the root system of willow is damaged by the larvae of click beetles, Elatericlae, Blaps and Anisoplia austriaca larvae. The number of these larvae per square meter ranges between 0.8 and 2.3 and between 0.5 and 2.7, respectively. Of land pests, willow is damaged by Chrysomela saliceti (0.7–7.2, in focuses 3.2–22.0 pests/plant), willow aphid (population score 1.1–1.8, in focuses 1.7–2.3), Hyponomeuta malinellus (population ratio 1.1–1.2, in focuses 1.8–2.1), Leucoma salicis (0.2–0.3, in focuses 1.9–6.1 larvae/plant), Chionaspis salicis (0.7–1.0, in focuses 2.3–10.0 individuals), Tetranychus urticae (population score 1.0–1.3, in focuses 1.4–2.3) and Philaenus spumarius, (0.1–0.8 in focuses 1.0–3.4 pests/plant). The control of the number of these plant feeders is carried out by soaking of cuttings before planting in insecticide solutions, as well as spraying the plants with chemicals against land pests.

Conclusions. Energy willow plants are damaged by many species of soil and land plant feeders, the number of which depends on the area of growing. Controlling of their number is carried out by soaking cuttings before planting in insecticide solutions and spraying plants.

Authors: Balahura O. V. , Balan V. M. , Tymoshenko S. M. , Volokha M. P.
Published: March 2021

Purpose. Identify the features of growth and development of crops in ontogenesis depending on the weather conditions of the growing season and fertilizer rates and establish certain theoretical relationships.

Methods. Laboratoryfield, statistical.

Results. A comprehensive system of observations and assessment of crops was carried out during 2008–2017 in crop rotation in farms of Tetiiv district of Kyiv region and in SE Shevchenkivske of IBCSB NAAS of Ukraine. Crop rotation productivity is a function of the complex interaction of weather (HTC) and agrotechnical (fertilizer) factors. It is established that the potential productivity of crop rotations by 8–47% depends on the weather conditions of the growing season. The most favorable weather conditions (HTC) were in 2008 (1.1), 2010 (1.2), 2012 (1.2), and 2014 (1.8). The results of the research also showed a close relationship between crop yield and fertilizer factor. On average, over the years of research, the maximum yield of the main products was obtained with the combined use of mineral and organic fertilizers: sugar beet 40.91–43.21 t/ha, fodder beet 69.3–69.5 t/ha, corn for grain 5, 906.03 t/ha, corn for silage, 60.0 62.3 t/ha.

Conclusions. To create highly productive agrophytocenoses of agricultural crops, it is necessary to reach the parameters of optimal density, which contributes to the maximum biological productivity of plants in the system ‘hydrothermal conditions–plants–components of technology’.

An enterosorption ferrocin-containing feed additive based on peat has been developed. The choice of peat as the basis for obtaining an enterosorption feed additive is has been substantiated. Modification of sphagnum peat with metal hexacyanoferrates was carried out. The sorption and spectral properties of the synthesized sorbents with relation to the Cs ion have been studied. The choice of a composite including sphagnum peat and iron hexacyanoferrate (ferrocin) as an enterosorption feed additive with radioprotective properties is justified. Preliminary tests of the radiological efficacy of the feed additive in the diet of gobies showed a multiplicity of decrease in the 137Cs content in meat products by about 6 times compared with the control.

Published: March 2021

Introduction. Drugs and the resulting health loss are a global problem. At the same time, residents of megalopolises, mainly of working age, fall into the risk group. The purpose is to assess the scale of losses of the working-age population of Moscow due to drug use. Materials and methods. The data of Rosstat on mortality of the population were used. We have calculated standardized mortality rates by causes of death in the selected age groups. We used a direct method of standardization, the European standard for age structure. To characterize the social status of the deceased, we used the data of the RFS-UMIAS of Moscow (the period of data analysis is July-December 2018 − January-June 2019). Results. We analyzed the dynamics of mortality among the working-age population of Moscow from the main causes of drug etiology (accidental drug poisoning and drug poisoning with unspecified intentions, mental disorders caused by drug use) against the background of Russia in the 2010s. It is shown that the dynamics of mortality from these causes was characterized by a sharp change in trends during 2015−2016. There was a sharp increase in mortality in the capital during the same period from cardiovascular diseases, due to unspecified cardiomyopathy. We pointed out that these shifts are synchronous with the dynamics of mortality from symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions. Discussion. It is hypothesized that, with a high degree of probability, the abnormal increase in mortality from unspecified cardiomyopathy is a statistical artifact - a consequence of the transfer of drug-related deaths to a latent form. Conclusions. Masking losses from drug addiction in ill-defined conditions and unspecified cardiomyopathy leads to the fact that mortality from drug poisoning in Moscow is not assessed as a serious problem.

Management for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is connected with urbanization because 2/3 of T2DM-patients live in towns, that is reflected in the term «urban diabetes». The T2DM-onset and T2DM-progression are depended not only on complex interaction of modified and non-modified risk factors, but also and sociodemographic determinants (and its modification at municipal level allowed to neutralize the unfavorable risk factors of T2DM&obesity. The urban non-rational food, disturbance of circadian rhythm, low T2DM-pths compliance stimulate onset of obesity, deterioration of glycemic control, high postprandial hyperglycemia, glucolipotoxicity, epigenetic changes and negative metabolic memory. Meanwhile the city politics may affect to the non-modified T2DM-risk factors at carrying the municipal policy directed to the rational catering, mass sports, organization of recreational zones, decrease of excessive urban traffic, improvement of ecology. The paper considers the features of migration to urban, religious fasting, COVID at the urban T2DM. The «urban diabetes» must be considered at therapeutic education and affected to form the active T2DM-pts-management.

"Peasant technical installations and crafts from the area of the Gurghiu Valley (Mures County)

On the Gurghiu Valley are spread settlements, some of which are first mentioned in an official document from newer or ancient times. Those at the lower valley are clustered settlements, and those upper rivers are scattered, generally found in upland regions: Bicașu, Toaca, Dubiștes, Isticelul, Arșicea, Uricea, Tireul, Ibănești - Pădure, Blidireasa, Zimți, Piriul - Mare, Dulcea, Bradețel. Eleven settlements developed on this valley: Solovăstru (1853), Jabenița (1453), Adrian (1393), Gurghiu (1248), Orșova (1453), Cașva (1453), Glăjarie (1760), Hodac (1453), Toaca, Ibănești - Sat (1453), Ibănești - Pădure.
History of villages from the Gurghiu Valley was related to the fortress and Gurghiu domain for many centuries. In August 1329, a document mentioned Petru Georgyu. However, the fortress was only firstly documented in 1364, on the appointment of Dionisie as voivode of Transylvania. Now, besides the castellans of fortresses from Deva, Hunedoara and Ciceu, also appears Iohannis Lepesde Gurghen as castellan of Gurghiu fortress.
Development of the economic life and ever increasing requirements of the population led to improvement and development of peasant technical installations (mills, oil mills, traditional rural whirlpools, sawmills) but also crafts and trades (carpentry, flute making, wheel righting, blacksmithing, pottery). Manufactory plants were set up, beginning with the 17th century; these were the first form of industrialisation, based on work division and manual techniques, a preliminary stage of transition from small-scale commodity production to large-scale machine production.

"European models and Romanian realities in the Transylvanian museography. The foundation of the Ethnographic Park in Cluj (1929)

This paper aims to clarify which were the sources that inspired Vuia in the creation of the ethnographic park. For this synthesis we resorted to understanding the phenomena that formed the basis of designing the museums and ethnographic parks, we investigated the notion of social unity and its constituent elements. We demonstrated how the historical framework of the early twentieth century generated the acute need to express national identity. We paid special attention to the radiography of the museum landscape in Transylvania, which were the first debates after the Great Union of 1918. We reviewed the history of the main open-air museums in Europe and the defining moments for the evolution of the concept. We focused on highlighting the innovations brought by each one. We detailed the evolution of the organization of the Swedish Nordiska Museet and the open-air section, Skansen, in order to highlight the common points between Skansen and the ethnographic park in Cluj. In the case of the open-air section in Cluj, we followed the initial challenges and the sequence of events that marked the existence of this institution as well as its founder. Following the analysis of the models that were the inspiration for the ethnographic park in Cluj, we made a parallel of the common elements between it and the Swedish museum as well as an analysis of the common features of the two personalities who created museums: Hazelius and Vuia.

The cupboard is one of several staple pieces that are found in the traditional households across Romania. The 19th century cupboard was acquired by the Transylvanian Museum of Ethnography from Trip village, Satu Mare County in 2002. Long before its acquisition, the artefact was covered with a thick layer of paint which obstructed the original embellishments. The removal of the paint layer was deemed necessary as it devalued the cupboard from both a historical and an aesthetical perspective. The cleaning process was done slowly and gradually using chemical (dimethylformamide or DMF) as well as mechanical methods (spatula, scalpel).

Tourism, Trade and Self-employment Growth in West Africa: Evidence from Ghana, Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire
Authors: Saka Jimoh Olakunle
Published: March 2021

This study attempts to evaluate the relationship between tourism and trade and self-employment growth in Ghana, Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire using a time series data spanning the period 1991-2019. In this study, an applied GMM approach was employed. Results show that export and import trade, development assistance and personal remittance flows significantly spur self-employment during the study period while indicators of tourism activities represented by the number of tourist arrivals retard growth of self-employment but increase export trade in these countries. On this basis, the business atmosphere and infrastructural facilities should be improved to sufficiently boost the relationship between trade and tourism and hence spur self-employment growth in these countries.

La investigación universitaria: El caso de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias de la Universidad de Panamá: 2007-2018
Authors: Sánchez-Galán Q. Enrique A.
Published: March 2021

La gestión de la investigación universitaria implica la evaluación continua de la producción científica, sin disociarlo del recurso humano, presupuesto, infraestructura y tecnología. Este artículo analiza el componente investigación de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias de la Universidad de Panamá, a través de un estudio integrado según perfiles, competencias y objetivos alcanzados, con el fin de generar insumos para la reestructuración institucional. Se basó en un estudio descriptivo para el análisis de datos institucionales del 2007 al 2018, además se aplicaron encuestas y entrevistas para contextualizar los datos. Los resultados muestran que el 80% de los profesores percibe una deficiente gestión de la investigación a nivel departamental; existe poca colaboración en los departamentos y, mucho menos, entre los departamentos, lo que limita la adopción de los nuevos paradigmas de la interdisciplinariedad y de la multidisciplinariedad. El 59.18% de los profesores regulares no han finalizado ninguna investigación en un periodo de 12 años. El 91% identifica la falta de presupuesto como la principal limitante para investigar, seguido de la carga laboral docente y administrativa con un 70%.

Authors: González C. José Ángel , Saito Yoshiko
Published: March 2021

Este artículo es el resultado de una  investigación cuyo  objetivo fue analizar los contenidos curriculares de los programas de matemáticas de primero a sexto grado de educación primaria de  la educación básica general, en base a resultados  obtenidos en pruebas internacionales realizadas en el año 2017.  El alcance de esta investigación incluyó estudiantes del nivel superior y bachilleres de la Escuela Normal Demóstenes Arosemena, estudiantes de primer ingreso de la Universidad de Panamá, estudiantes de séptimo grado y maestros en ejercicio; todos de la Provincia de Veraguas. La metodología fue de tipo descriptiva-cualitativa, realizando un estudio comparativo entre nuestro currículo de matemática y el de cinco países latinoamericanos incluyendo Japón, así como  pruebas realizadas a estudiantes y maestros.  Los resultados evidenciaron un bajo dominio en temas fundamentales del currículo de matemática del nivel primario.  El estudio permitió también constatar  que los currículos de Chile, México, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras; países que salieron mejor que el nuestro en la prueba TERCE- presentan una unidad y coherencia curricular; mientras que  Panamá posee un currículum de matemáticas con una distribución diferente, dato este considerado de suma importancia en esta investigación.
El Currículum oculto en la educación universitaria: Un estudio de caso en la Universidad de Panamá
Authors: Patiño M. Ana E.
Published: March 2021

Las prácticas de currículum oculto suponen que las universidades realizan más que la transmisión de conocimiento del currículum  oficial. El impacto de estas prácticas, en algunos casos, llega a resultar mayor que el del currículum formal. Así el problema de esta investigación es ¿Existen prácticas de currículum oculto por parte de profesores? De ser así, ¿Qué implicaciones o impacto tienen en el estudiante graduando?

La metodología utilizada fue de tipo exploratoria y de enfoque experimental, con un nivel de abstracción aplicado y su temporalización de corte transversal. Para ello, se aplicó una encuesta a 73 estudiantes graduandos tanto del Campus como de cuatro Centros Regionales Universitarios, cuyos resultados se analizan en función de una prueba de hipótesis a través de un muestreo aleatorio simple, y un modelo de interacción univariado.

Los hallazgos principales denotan que efectivamente los profesores realizan prácticas de currículum oculto. Se practican las cuatro dimensiones: Política, religiosa, ideológica y la de valores.  Los estudiantes están de acuerdo con dichas prácticas porque consideran que son necesarias para el futuro de un profesional formado integralmente, pero desaprueban las prácticas de la dimensión religiosa.
Aportes del aula invertida en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje: Una experiencia a nivel de maestría
Authors: Palencia Sarmiento Ana Elvira
Published: March 2021

El aula invertida involucra al estudiante como participante activo de su proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje y promueve el desarrollo de destrezas digitales. El estudio explora esta estrategia a través de las experiencias compartidas por los estudiantes de la maestría en la enseñanza de inglés como segunda lengua (TESOL) de Quality Leadership University en Panamá. Se realizó una investigación tipo estudio de caso para examinar las perspectivas de los estudiantes al participar en el aula invertida en dos materias del programa. La población estuvo conformada por estudiantes de tres cohortes, quienes voluntariamente completaron una encuesta en línea y  realizaron las evaluaciones de cierre de cursos dadas por la institución. Los resultados indican que los estudiantes se sintieron a gusto al participar en el aula invertida,  con el sistema de evaluación y la oportunidad de ser entes activos  en su aprendizaje. Los estudiantes también comentaron su interés en replicar ciertas actividades, continuar utilizando algunas aplicaciones tecnológicas presentadas en clases e incorporar otras a su entorno personal de aprendizaje. El aula invertida, entonces, promueve un aprendizaje activo y  significativo al  fomentar el reto, la interacción y la motivación durante el proceso enseñanza y aprendizaje
Elementos de formación ciudadana presentes en los programas de pregrado de la Universidad de Guadalajara, México
Authors: Ibarra Beltrán Álvaro De Jesús , Hernández Carvajal Nayesia María , Mercado Pérez Raúl , Camacho Buenrostro Benita
Published: March 2021

Se presenta un análisis de las opiniones vertidas a través de una encuesta en línea  proporcionada por una muestra de 182 estudiantes, hombres y mujeres, en su mayoría de entre 20 y 21 años, de 13 programas de nivel superior, de la Universidad de Guadalajara, una universidad pública de México. Los temas analizados fueron: en primer lugar, los elementos de formación ciudadana  que los estudiantes identificaron dentro de las actividades curriculares y extracurriculares. En segundo lugar, la importancia que confieren a la formación ciudadana en su perfil profesional. El objetivo fue contrastar las intenciones plasmadas en las políticas institucionales al respecto de la formación ciudadana y la realidad percibida por los estudiantes. Las preguntas hechas a los estudiantes fueron sobre la inclusión de temas relacionados con la Ética, Derechos Humanos, Inclusión, Cuidado del Medio y la Responsabiliad Social en su formación. El estudio se hizo con alumnos de pregrado del Centro Universitario de Ciencias Económico-Administrativas, el de población estudiantil más numerosa de la Universidad de Guadalajara, una de las universidades públicas más grandes de América Latina. Los hallazgos permiten afirmar que hay una importante brecha entre las declaraciones de los objetivos institucionales sobre formación ciudadana de sus estudiantes y la visión que éstos tienen de su realidad cotidiana en el plantel. Se propone poner en práctica políticas para replantear el modelo educativo a partir de la definición del perfil del ciudadano egresado.

Published: March 2021

De entre los trastornos afectivos relacionados con el envejecimiento, la depresión se considera como un factor asociado a causas de la vida cotidiana. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar la calidad de vida de adultos mayores de la ciudad de Celaya, Guanajuato a través de la Escala FUMAT con la intención de relacionarla con la sintomatología depresiva evaluada mediante la escala CES-D con la intención de conocer el grado de relación entre ambas. Se realizaron 150 aplicaciones, 110 mujeres adultas mayores y 40 hombres. Se obtuvo una rho regular de .668, ya que los resultados indican que existe una correlación negativa en la que las variables se encuentran inversamente relacionadas, es decir, mientras existe una percepción mayor de la calidad de vida los síntomas depresivos son menores.
DESCENTRALIZACIÓN EDUCATIVA EN EL MUNICIPIO CERTIFICADO DE TUNJA: UN PROCESO COMPLEJO EN TIEMPO DE POSTCONFLICTO
Authors: Moreno Villamil José Alberto
Published: March 2021

Este artículo plantea una reflexión sobre la complejidad de la descentralización educativa en el municipio Certificado de Tunja, enmarcada dentro de la investigación llevado a cabo en mi tesis doctoral titulada “Descentralización Educativa en el Municipio Certificado de Tunja, desde una visión del pensamiento complejo”, donde los elementos de calidad, cobertura y eficiencia, generan grandes expectativas e interrogantes sobre el verdadero impacto de las nuevas reglas de juego, que modificaron las relaciones de poder entre el Estado y las entidades territoriales, y, por ende estos últimos debían tener una mayor capacidad técnica y de gestión para manejar el sistema educativo y construir espacios reales de autonomía en la búsqueda de generar políticas educativas desde lo local, que respondan a la coyuntura actual frente al cumplimiento de  los acuerdos de La Habana, en tiempos de transición donde el sector educativo tunjano no es ajeno a esta nueva realidad cambiante orientada a la inclusión y a la reconciliación.

METODOLOGÍAS DE DISEÑO APLICADAS A LOS PROYECTOS DE VINCULACIÓN Y APRENDIZAJE ENTRE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE LAS AMÉRICAS Y MICRO-EMPRENDEDORES TEXTILES DE CARAPUNGO. CASO DE ESTUDIO: FORTALECIMIENTO DE EMPRENDIMIENTOS TEXTILES DESDE EL DISEÑO
Authors: Cuervo Oscar , Andrade Marín Silvia , Mendoza Stella Marys
Published: March 2021

En este artículo se presentan las diferentes estrategias metodológicas, resultados, experiencias y dificultades del proyecto de vinculación con la comunidad Fortalecimiento de emprendimientos textiles, ejecutado del 2016 al 2018, entre la carrera de Diseño Gráfico Industrial, de la Universidad de Las Américas (Udla); el Centro Textil de Carapungo, del Gobierno Autónomo de Pichincha; y La  Unidad de  Inclusión Económica y Social, del Ministerio de Inclusión Económica y Social. El proyecto se llevó acabo con 25 emprendimientos asociados a las instituciones anteriormente mencionadas.

La principal problemática que se identificó fue la ausencia de diseño tanto en aspectos gráficos e industriales. Es decir, los artesanos no contaban con una identidad corporativa que permitiera identificarlos ante la competencia; inexistencia de un nombre que fuera fonéticamente impactante; ausencia de piezas gráficas comerciales que fortalecieran su presencia en el mercado; carencia de canales de comunicación y soportes digitales que informaran sobre los emprendimientos, dónde contactarlos y ofertar sus productos; ni diferenciación en productos textiles que cumplieran con procesos de diseño. Además, se identificaron condiciones de trabajo que no cumplían con los estándares básicos ni con aspectos de seguridad industrial en sus talleres. Para ello, se planificó un metodología organizada durante dos años y dividida en tres etapas: 1. Línea base, diseño de manual corporativo y piezas promocionales. 2. Desarrollo del producto textil.3. Diseño de empaque, banco de fotografías y soportes web. Al final los emprendimientos participaron en una rueda de negocios.

Como resultado se logró fortalecer los emprendimientos textiles aplicando la metodología de codiseño. Además, se adaptaron diferentes herramientas para el desarrollo de los resultados que permitieron el trabajo concatenado de las diferentes etapas. Asimismo, la sincronía entre las partes involucradas facilitó la ejecución del proyecto dentro lo planificado.
