Authors: Orostegui Calderón Luis Felipe , Valencia López Rodrigo
Published: November 2023

La reglamentación que se garantiza la salubridad del agua potable, es un instrumento enfocado en la protección de la salud pública en el entorno mundial. Los sistemas completos de reglamentación en materia de agua potable permitirán agilizar el cumplimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) al facilitar que todas las personas, tengan acceso equitativo y universal a agua potable inocua y asequible. La salubridad y la calidad del agua son fundamentales para el desarrollo y el bienestar humanos. Proporcionar acceso a agua salubre es uno de los instrumentos más eficaces para promover la salud y reducir la pobreza («OMS | Agua, saneamiento e higiene», 2017). Mediante este documento, se comparan los parámetros más relevantes que se encuentran en las diferentes normativas sobre calidad de agua potable o apta para consumo humano de algunos países latinoamericanos y del caribe; con el fin de realizar una comparación entre la legislación nacional con respecto a la internacional.

Impacto de las industrias extractivas en el capital humano de las economías locales en los Andes: un marco conceptual y varios estudios empíricos
Authors: Zanoni Wladimir , Díaz Emily , Manzano Osmel
Published: November 2023

Este estudio profundiza en los impactos complejos de las industrias extractivas en el capital humano local en los países andinos de América Latina, examinando la relación entre los ciclos de inversión, las políticas fiscales y la gobernanza. Emplea un marco conceptual para evaluar los efectos socioeconómicos de la extracción minera y petrolera en regiones económicamente significativas y volátiles, aprovechando diversas metodologías de investigación realizadas en trabajos de referencia para la agenda de investigación sobre “transición productiva” para la Región Andina. El objetivo es esclarecer el doble papel de las industrias extractivas en la promoción del desarrollo local y la acumulación de capital humano, así como contribuir a la debatida “maldición de los recursos” a través de una distribución desigual de los beneficios. La evidencia empírica es fundamental para mejorar las estrategias de políticas e inversiones en áreas ricas en recursos, enfatizando la necesidad de marcos contractuales estables, reglas fiscales equitativas y una gobernanza efectiva para un desarrollo sostenible y equitativo en el contexto de la extracción. Este documento es una contribución al debate de políticas, y proporciona ideas para los responsables de políticas, los investigadores y las partes interesadas en la Región Andina.
Die Interdisziplinarität in den Theologischen Forschungen
Authors: Anderwald Andrzej
Published: November 2023

Interdisziplinarität bei der Erforschung der Komplexität der Realität findet unter Wissenschaftlern immer mehr Befürworter. Seit dem Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzil ist die Theologie auch offener für die Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Wissenschaften, nicht nur mit den Humanwissenschaften, sondern auch mit den verschiedenen Disziplinen der empirischen Wissenschaft. Die interdisziplinäre Offenheit der Theologie wirft eine Reihe von Fragen auf. Sollte ein Theologe auf die Stimmen von Befürwortern anderer Wissenschaften hören, wenn viele von ihnen wenig oder gar kein Interesse an seiner Wissenschaft haben? Hat die Theologie den anderen Wissenschaften im interdisziplinären Dialog etwas zu sagen? Kann das interdisziplinäre Profil der Theologie dazu beitragen, ein ganzheitliches Menschen- und Weltbild zu schaffen? Kann interdisziplinäre Forschung in der Theologie zur Glaubensvermittlung in einer wissenschaftlich geprägten Weltanschauung beitragen? Der Autor beantwortet die gestellten Fragen positiv und plädiert für die Notwendigkeit, Interdisziplinarität in der theologischen Reflexion zu berücksichtigen. Als Begründung nennt er drei Gründe, die sich aus den durchgeführten Analysen ergeben: erstens – Interdisziplinarität in der theologischen Forschung als Ausweg aus dem eindimensionalen Wissenschaftsparadigma; zweitens – Interdisziplinarität als Möglichkeit einer ganzheitlichen Betrachtung von Natur und Mensch; drittens - die Interdisziplinarität der theologischen Forschung weist auf eine neue Art hin, den Glauben angesichts einer vom natürlichen Denken dominierten Mentalität zu rechtfertigen.

Authors: Gutiérrez O. Parada , Pérez O Parada
Published: November 2023

Sustainable, efficient, and competitive supply chain management implies a change of perspective in small companies: moving from purchasing as an operational and routine function to strategic management of procuring and selecting suitable suppliers. In other words, supplier selection is a multi-criteria decision problem. The methodology used in this research refers to a mixed descriptive approach. The information necessary for the study was obtained through surveys and group work with the participation of owners of 27 small businesses in the city of Durán. The expert method, Saaty’s hierarchical analysis and the technique of order preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) were applied in this study. The results obtained helped to identify the main weaknesses in procurement management in the small companies studied, the selection of sustainable suppliers, and possible actions for improvement. The study found that small companies have shortcomings in supply chain management and selecting suitable suppliers to meet sustainability objectives. The shortcomings were financial, cultural, and market management.
Keywords: supply chain management, supplier selection, multi-criteria decision.

Authors: Mosquera Rodríguez X.A , Burbano A.L Medina
Published: November 2023

The present investigation analyzed the relationship between the satisfaction of the users of a public company in charge of the vehicle registration process in the city of Babahoyo, province of Los Ríos, Ecuador, and the implementation of an administration model 4.0 carried out through a system of management information in the area of license plate issuance, given the increase in users of this service and the need to guarantee and improve their satisfaction. For this purpose, some models related to management information systems and the public administration model 4.0 were analyzed. Later, analyzing the results of a survey applied to a sample of service users and officials of the public company, it was possible to diagnose the situation of the company’s registration area. The investigation evidenced the existence of unfriendly systems with the information needs of the institution, in addition to a low level of commitment on the part of the staff, which is demonstrated in the reduced or non-existent post-service follow-up, all of which causes user dissatisfaction. It is concluded that it is advisable to design and apply customer relationship management under the 4.0 public administration model that allows an increase in the level of user satisfaction.
Keywords: CRM, quality management, users’ service, public management, transportation.
Resumen
La presente investigación analizó la relación entre la satisfacción de los usuarios de una Empresa pública encargada del proceso de matriculación vehicular en la ciudad de Babahoyo, provincia de Los Ríos, Ecuador y la implementación de un modelo de administración 4.0 realizada a través de un sistema de información gerencial en el área de emisión de matrículas, ante el incremento de usuarios de este servicio y la necesidad de garantizar y mejorar su satisfacción. Para el efecto se analizaron algunos modelos relacionados con los sistemas de información gerencial y el modelo de administración pública 4.0, y posteriormente, analizando los resultados de una encuesta aplicada a una muestra de usuarios del servicio y a funcionarios de la Empresa pública, se pudo diagnosticar la situación del área de matriculación de la empresa. La investigación evidenció la existencia de sistemas poco amigables con las necesidades de información de la institución, además de un bajo nivel de compromiso por parte del personal, que se demuestra en el reducido o inexistente seguimiento post servicio, todo lo cual provoca insatisfacción de los usuarios. Se concluye que es recomendable diseñar y aplicar un sistema de gestión de relaciones con el cliente bajo el modelo de administración pública 4.0 que permita el incremento del nivel de satisfacción de los usuarios.

The Effect of Explicit Instruction on Learning Vocabulary and Text Comprehension
Authors: Zambrano Ramírez J. , Patiño Guallichico C.
Published: November 2023

The present study examined whether vocabulary intervention improves text comprehension by explicitly teaching words. The participants were institutionalized students aged between 9 and 12 years (n = 23), who completed five sessions based on solid vocabulary instruction. The semantic understanding of the taught words was measured before and after the intervention. Subsequently, they read two matched texts, one containing taught words (i.e., explicit instruction) and one without (i.e., minimal guidance instruction). The data suggest that solid vocabulary instruction significantly improved word comprehension. Specifically, they performed better in terms of the number of words learned and the amount of responses to implicit and explicit questions. It is recommended for teachers to conduct direct and explicit vocabulary interventions to improve reading comprehension in institutionalized students.
Keywords: explicit teaching, reading skills, institutionalized students.
Resumen
El presente estudio examinó si la intervención del vocabulario mejora el conocimiento de textos enseñando explícitamente las palabras. Los participantes fueron estudiantes de 9 a 12 años en condición de institucionalización (n = 23), quienes completaron 5 sesiones basadas en instrucción de vocabulario sólido. La comprensión semántica de las palabras enseñadas se midió antes y después de la intervención. Posteriormente, leyeron 2 textos emparejados, 1 que contiene palabras enseñadas (i.e., instrucción explicita) y 1 no (i.e., instrucción con guía mínima). Los datos sugieren que la instrucción del vocabulario sólido mejoró significativamente la comprensión de palabras. Específicamente, tuvieron mejor desempeño en el número de palabras aprendidas y en la cantidad de las respuestas a las preguntas implícitas y explícitas. Se recomienda a los docentes conducir intervenciones directas y explícitas de vocabulario para mejorar la comprensión lectora en estudiantes institucionalizados.

Authors: Ramírez K , Zambrano G , Santos A , Calderón F
Published: November 2023

Land grabbing and agribusiness have generated serious implications for the sustainability of peasant communities in the global south. This paper analyzes perceptions of the impact of land grabbing and agribusiness on peasant family farming in three cantons of Los Ríos Province in Ecuador, using focus groups in 2020. The sustainable development framework and content analysis using NVIVO12 software were used. In the territories, negative impacts were mostly identified that seriously compromise their sustainable development, given that monocultures and the agribusiness production system have had strong implications in deforestation, loss of biodiversity, contamination of natural resources, modification of the agricultural landscape, and farmers’ health.
Keywords: land grabbing, peasants, agribusiness.

Social Perception of the Residents of Olón, Montañita, and Valdivia as a Conditioning Factor in the Satisfaction of Tourists
Authors: Bravo Acosta O. , Mendoza Pin S. , Hinojosa Ramos M. , Ascencio Moreno J
Published: November 2023

This research aims to understand the social perception of the communities of Olón, Montañita, and Valdivia in the sociocultural, socio-territorial, and socio-cognitive dimensions, as a determining factor in the satisfaction of national and foreign tourists in terms of destination, service, and infrastructure. The design is nonexperimental, with a correlational scope and a mixed approach. Data collection techniques used were a semi-structured interview with 24 residents and a survey of 396 residents and 396 tourists. STATIS Dual and MPLS (multiway partial least squares) were the software used for the treatment of quantitative information. It was determined that the social perception in the three communes was relatively similar, the sociocultural dimension being the best scored for being linked to the tourist development of Olón and Montañita. Whereas a significant difference was observed between the communes in terms of tourist satisfaction, placing Montañita as the leader in all dimensions of the variable, followed by Olón and Valdivia. With an adjustment of 69%, the MPLS model was directly related to the variables, implying that any change in the perception of the residents affects the satisfaction of tourists.
Keywords: tourist satisfaction, social perception, spondylus route.

CITRIC ACID–SODIUM CITRATE–WATER SOLUTIONS ACID-BASE AND ELECTROCHEMICAL BEHAVIOR
Authors: Khoma R. E. , Bіenkovska T. S. , Osadchiy L. T. , Ishkov Yu. V.
Published: November 2023

The protolytic equilibria in the system citric acid (H3Cit)–sodium citrate (Na3Cit)–water at a total content of citrates forms (citric acid, dihydrocitrate (H2Cit-), hydrocitrate (HCit2-) and citrate (Cit3-) anions) 1.0 mol/l have been studied by pH- and conductometric methods in the temperature range 293 ÷ 313 K. The first concentration ranges at which pH – lg(νH3Cit/νNa3Cit) and κ – CNa+/Ccit functions are linear correspond to the H3Cit/H2Cit- buffer system; the second ones – to H3Cit/H2Cit- and H2Cit-/HCit2-; the third ones to – HCit2-/Cit3- buffer system. The investigated solutions ion-molecular composition and ionic strength (m, mol/l) have been calculated using the mathematical model taking into account the law of mass action, material balance for citrates and electrical neutrality principle. The ionic strength concentration dependences have a complex character due to the ion-molecular composition multicomponent nature for the studied solutions. The ionic strength values are directly proportional to the ratio [Na+]/CCit in the concentration intervals 0 ≤ [Na+]/CCit ≤ 1.0 and 2.0 ≤ [Na+]/CCit ≤ 3.0. In the concentration range 1.0 ≤ [Na+]/CCit ≤ 2.0, the values of m = 1.15 ± 0.27 mol/l) weakly depend on the [Na+]/CCit ratio and practically do not depend on temperature. Citric acid concentration and thermodynamic constants for the first, second, and third dissociation stages have been determined. The obtained data on the acid-base and electrochemical characteristics of the solutions HOC3H4(COOH)3 – HOC3H4(COONa)3 – H2O(СCit = 1.0 mol/l; СNa+ = 0 ÷ 1.0 mol/l) can be used in chemical analysis, microbiological and biochemical studies, and the acidity data of the solutions studied can simulate chemisorption of acidic (SO2) and/or basic (NH3) gases.

Contribuições da pesquisa em representações sociais para ensinar e aprender Geografia
Authors: Souza José Vitor Rossi , Osti Andréia
Published: November 2023

A representação tem grande centralidade na Geografia, estando associada a diferentes sentidos. Considerando que são construções simbólicas que reconstituem o real e dão a ele um significado, as representações sobre o mundo em que se vive são indispensáveis para nele viver, o que justifica a importância de uma investigação sobre elas. Nesse sentido, o artigo objetiva, inicialmente, apresentar elementos centrais da Teoria das Representações Sociais para, em seguida, expor um panorama das pesquisas envolvendo representações sociais e o ensino de Geografia ao longo do início do século XXI, o que permite identificar as principais influências teóricas, os caminhos metodológicos das investigações e as contribuições dos resultados das pesquisas para a discussão sobre o ensinar e o aprender Geografia. Como resultados conclui-se que: pesquisas sobre representações sociais no campo do ensino de Geografia são ainda incipientes; investigações sobre as representações contribuem para o embasamento de práticas pedagógicas e para a alteração de determinadas representações fundadas no senso comum; representações sociais situam e orientam os sujeitos no mundo, são valorativas e dão sentido às práticas sociais; e o processo de ensinar e aprender Geografia é relevante na elaboração de representações.
Pintando palavras: um diálogo entre as imagens no texto de Monteiro Lobato
Authors: Oliveira Adriel Gonçalves
Published: November 2023

Este ensaio objetiva interpretar imagens extraídas das primeiras edições da obra Aritmética da Emília (1935 e 1947), de Monteiro Lobato. Ao considerarmos a imagem um elemento participante do texto, ela se torna chave interpretativa para a trama narrativa, insurgindo-se como indispensável para o texto, pois não só facilita a leitura, mas, antes disso, permite a percepção de elementos que sem ela não seriam notados. Nossa opção de análise será pautada em Ginzburg (2002 e 2007) e Manguel (1997), além de autores situados no campo da Educação Matemática, como Dalcin (2008), Brito (2011) e Dalcin e Brito (2014). Nossa reflexão se amplia para a escrita da história, buscando elementos constituintes na tríade leitura, escrita e ensino ao apresentar uma análise escrita em diálogos entre as personagens consagradas por Lobato – o Visconde de Sabugosa, a boneca Emília, Pedrinho e Narizinho. Essa escrita, que se aproxima do modo de fazer próprio da estética ficcional, ao mobilizar diálogos entre personagens, amplifica o debate, salientando o caráter dialógico da construção do conhecimento em oposição a vertentes que apresentam os saberes de maneira já pronta, terminada, concluída. Esperamos, com isso, deixar entrever a relação simbiótica entre leitura-escrita-ensino e a imagem de mundo.
O uso do mapa mental no processo de ensino e aprendizagem em Geografia
Authors: Melo Ismail Barra Nova de , Melo Eliane Pimentel Camillo Barra Nova de
Published: November 2023

A Cartografia Escolar possui muitos recursos didáticos para o ensino e a aprendizagem em Geografia, entre eles o mapa mental, que não é apenas um desenho, e sim um recurso disponível para a representação de um determinado tema ou lugar. Este trabalho teve como objetivo o uso do mapa mental junto aos estudantes do 1º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública de Sorocaba-SP. Optou-se pelo uso do mapa mental como recurso para a representação gráfica e para o estudo do lugar porque os estudantes estão em processo de alfabetização e o desenho se tornou um meio favorável para os registros. O mapa mental se mostrou muito útil enquanto recurso didático para a problematização do lugar no qual os estudantes estão inseridos, pois os desenhos dos estudantes foram capazes de registrar as suas observações cotidianas e serviram como elementos para a discussão dos problemas vivenciados no bairro em que moram.
Nature, technological and ethical action: paths for environmental education since Hans Jonas
Authors: Correia Fábio Caires , Silva Rafael Furtado da , Cardoso Deisiane Neves de Oliveira
Published: November 2023

Making environmental issues fundamentally necessary and urgent in these times and tropics, times of massive use – in the last two centuries and especially after World War II – of production technologies, means requiring the existential minimum, i.e., reasonable conditions for good quality of life. The purpose of this paper is twofold: on the one hand, we intend to present the philosophical contribution of Hans Jonas to the ecological issue, on the other hand, we would like to highlight how precisely from this reflection it is possible to acquire adequate awareness, from the promotion of environmental education, environmental risks linked to technological and economic developments. First, we analyze Jonas’s contribution to the redefinition of the concept of nature. Secondly, we try to clarify in what terms and with what consequences, according to Jonas, human nature occupies a central place in the global revision of the concept of nature and manifests itself in terms of a fundamental ethical principle. Finally, let us try to explain what consequences this entails for the protection of the integral ecology.
Expressing Added Value in Food Supply Chains
Authors: Zidar Nejc , Turk Jernej , Prišenk Jernej
Published: November 2023

Value-added food supply chains are chains that maintain positive social, environmental, and community values which are integrated into the production process from the primary producer to the final consumer, ensuring economic, social, and environmental sustainability, thus forming a sustainable agricultural and food production system. The evaluation of the value added in each chain is based on indicators, which are a tool to measure changes in the actual situation or to show performance trends in achieving the progress set by the objectives. The presented indicators are based on publicly available statistics and foreign literature that allow measuring value added in specific livestock chains at aggregate level (beef production, pork production and dairy production) and are based on publicly available statistics in the Republic of Slovenia. The need to produce indicators of value added in livestock food supply chains arises from the large differences in structural changes in the sector itself and in the development and economic performance of the various livestock industries.
Challenges for planning climate change resilience through the co-creation living lab approach in the Mediterranean coastal town of Piran
Authors: Kumer Peter , Meulenberg Cécil , Kralj Erik
Published: November 2023

Climate change resilience for urban coastal communities is a pressing matter considering hazards like sea-level rise, coastal flooding and erosion. Adapting to such changes and creating climate change resilience should be an all-stakeholder process. This paper discusses the early stages of stakeholder participation through a co-creation living lab (LL) approach in the Mediterranean coastal town of Piran. To achieve climate change resilience ecosystem-based approaches (EBAs) are used as tools, while in Piran the novel coastal city LL (CCLL) approach is supposed to facilitate a process to achieve acceptance and implementation of such EBA solutions, through consented decision of representative stakeholders from each of the quadruple helix framework, including citizens. During this process several organisational limitations were encountered such as the question of incentivizing stakeholders, man-hour devotion, appointing contact persons within large organisations, and the challenge of organising continuous personal face-to-face meetings. Parallel to previous findings that defining a shared vision is necessary for a successful CCLL, we emphasize that newly retrieved specific challenges identified through personal communication with stakeholders, and capitalising on those, further motivated the stakeholders. These specific challenges represent pressing issues, for example: how to retrieve and revalorize the historical water management system; how to improve the existing early warning system; how to empower and educate, through climate action, the town's community that is facing population decline through tourism gentrification. The experience by the authors of this paper suggests that continuous interaction with stakeholders and facilitating multidisciplinary activities based on stakeholder's prior knowledge and experience, are best practices in the co-creation of the urban living lab.

Advances in surveillance and diagnostic techniques for tracking the spread of African swine fever
Authors:   Federal Research Institute for Animal Health – Friedrich Loeffler Institute, Germany, Blome Sandra
Published: November 2023

African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most important viral diseases of domestic and wild suids. Over the last 15 years, ASF has gone truly pandemic and with that, fast, reliable, but also pragmatic diagnostic approaches are needed for early detection and surveillance. In the following chapter, three main points will be discussed that go beyond the well-established routine diagnostic techniques that are quite well-developed and described for ASF: a) the use of alternative sample matrices for ASF diagnosis in domestic and wild pigs, b) recent developments in pen-side diagnostics in a broader sense, and c) possibilities and recent advances for genomic epidemiology (especially in areas with occurrence of local variants).

Published: November 2023

The development of a vaccine for African swine fever (ASF) has been an ongoing topic of research in labs worldwide for many years, with increased interest following the 2007 outbreak in the Republic of Georgia. This initial outbreak has since spread causing continued outbreaks in Europe, Asia and most recently in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Recently a live-attenuated vaccine was approved and is the only commercially produced vaccine for ASF only approved for use in Vietnam. It remains that there is not a widely available commercial vaccine for countries suffering outbreaks of ASF in this chapter we will present how we were able to develop this vaccine, and how it became the lead candidate vaccine for ASF. Without a vaccine disease management for this current pandemic has been limited to restricting animal movement and culling of infected animals or farms. In this chapter the current state of ASF vaccine research is presented covering all published reports on subunit vaccines, naturally or cell culture passed viruses used as attenuated vaccine backbones, and live attenuated vaccines using targeted deletions in virulent ASFV isolates.
Investigations of the city bus powertrain efficiency
Authors: Wendeker Mirosław , Grabowski Łukasz
Published: November 2023

Research work on the energy efficiency of vehicles is driven, among other things, by limits related to fuel consumption carbon dioxide emissions. This also applies to city buses, where fuel consumption averages between 25 and 30 dm3 per 100 km, which can be converted into approximately 87 kg CO2 per dm3. This article therefore presents the results of a study of the total efficiency of the power train of a city bus, taking into account the internal combustion engine, transmission, hydrokinetic clutch, and tyre friction on the rollers. The test object was a 12-metre city bus equipped with diesel engines and an automatic gearbox. The tests were carried out on a chassis dynamometer by implementing the World Harmonized Vehicle Cycle (WHVC). The WHVC driving test is a synthesis of the vehicle's on-road speeds and consists of three stages: Urban, Rural and Motorway. During the tests, the fuel consumption, vehicle speed and power generated at the wheels of the bus were recorded. From this, efficiency was calculated as the ratio of the power measured at the wheels of the bus to the power contained in the fuel supplied to the engine. Efficiency was shown to range from 5 to 22%.

Published: November 2023

Estimasi sumberdaya batubara merupakan proses kuantifikasi yang dilakukan dengan mempertimbangkan kondisi geologi dan data yang dimiliki. Perkembangan teknologi membuat proses estimasi menjadi semakin cepat. Metode elemen hingga (MEH) yang merupakan proses diskritisasi model dan proses geostatistik estimasi ordinary kriging (OK) menggunakan model blok dilakukan pada parameter ketebalan untuk mengetahui sumberdaya batubara. Menggunakan 24 data bor touch coring dan cropline, kontur struktur roof dan floor batubara terolah sebagai batasan dalam model batubara. Estimasi sumberdaya batubara dengan metode OK menghasilkan kuantitas sebesar 1.8 juta ton. Perhitungan menggunakan MEH menghasilkan nilai sumberdaya sebesar dua juta ton. Selain itu, penggunaan metode OK dengan perangkat lunak SGeMS menghasilkan sumberdaya terukur yang lebih kecil karena area pengaruh (range = 216 m), yang lebih kecil daripada nilai jarak titik infformasi sesuai SNI 5015-2011 untuk kondisi geologi moderat (250 m). Cross validation dilakukan agar memberikan pertimbangan hasil estimasi OK. Perhitungan MEH menggunakan skema continous dalam melakukan diskritisasi. Perbedaan nilai sebesar 200 ribu ton memperlihatkan penggunaan metode yang berbeda pada batubara secara signifikan menghasilkan nilai yang berbeda.
