Cuba en la integración académica latinoamericana y caribeña
Authors: Alpizar Santana Miriam , Villavicencio Maria Victoria , García Báez Román
Published: February 2025

En la región latinoamericana y caribeña persiste aún la falta de un espacio común del conocimiento lo que impacta negativamente; las afectaciones a la autonomía universitaria y las tensiones de autoridad estatal; las desigualdades y relaciones con los países del norte, la variedad y contraste de la educación, matizada por brechas de condiciones sociales y grandes diferencias entre zonas rurales y ciudades. Los intentos fallidos de integración regional, y la falta de visión estratégica, y de la coordinación y la cooperación en la región, dependen en parte de la educación superior, por ser responsable de producir y reproducir el conocimiento, y mediante la investigación poder encontrar respuestas a los graves problemas regionales que marcan las mayores desigualdades económicas y sociales del planeta. Las experiencias de integración de la educación superior cubana en la región latinoamericana y caribeña tienen sus orígenes en el propio surgimiento de la educación superior en Cuba. La fundación de la Universidad de La Habana, tuvo los impactos de la fundación de las primeras universidades antes del siglo XX en la región,  más tarde de la Reforma Universitaria de 1918, y posteriormente en la movilidad académica para la formación de profesionales dentro y fuera del país, posterior al triunfo revolucionario, la participación en las Conferencias Regionales de Educación Superior, el desarrollo de los Congresos Universidad, la participación en redes y asociaciones y la colaboración en programas y proyectos de investigación y postgrado, amparados en convenios interinstitucionales conjuntos con resultados tanto para Cuba como para otros países.

Authors: Guerrero Oliveros Oscar Javier , Parra Bernal Lina Rosa
Published: February 2025

En el siguiente artículo se pretenden mostrar los resultados del rastreo documental realizado en diferentes bases de datos y desde diversos textos publicados, en los que se analiza la funcionalidad de la formación integral al interior de las instituciones educativas ubicadas en territorios de conflicto, partiendo del caso del departamento del Cauca en Colombia. Para el rastreo documental se tuvo en cuenta el método PRISMA y se consultó en diferentes fuentes, pero principalmente en tres bases de datos: Redalyc, Scopus. De estas tres bases de datos se obtuvo el principal insumo para la selección de los artículos. De igual manera, para la selección de los documentos se tuvieron en cuenta unas categorías, enfoques y dimensiones de cada uno de los artículos que integran el ejercicio. Finalmente, los resultados arrojaron que, como elemento de transformación, la formación integral no genera resultados relevantes en las instituciones educativas. De igual manera, se observa el bajo nivel de seguimiento y prioridad curricular que se le da a la formación del ser. Se logra evidenciar cómo, desde algunas instituciones educativas, existe la tendencia a reconfigurar el concepto de formación integral, otorgando cambios según las necesidades de cada institución educativa.

Research data curation at Kenya’s agricultural research institute libraries : opportunities and challenges
Authors: Ng’eno Emily Jeruto , Odero Damaris , Amoth Duncan
Published: February 2025

Research data are valuable resources that need to be curated and managed by research libraries as they are intricate and complex, irreplaceable, expensive, and time-consuming to replicate. However, The Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Act No.17 of 2013 does not define how research data generated by the research institutes should be managed resulting in poor mechanisms for data curation and sharing, low-quality research outputs, duplication of research, and poor re-analysis of existing research data. The purpose of this research was to examine how Kenya’s agricultural research institute libraries curate their research data and propose interventions for improvement. The study investigated how Kenya’s agricultural research institute libraries capture, appraise, describe, preserve, and make accessible for the reuse of its research data. The study was underpinned by the Data Curation Centre (DCC) Lifecycle Model. Six of Kenya’s agricultural research institutes were purposely chosen. The study adopted a pragmatism paradigm applying a mixed methods approach and employing a survey design within a multi-case study. The target population was composed of 41 directors of institutes, heads of research, heads of IT, and librarians, and 142 researchers. Quantitative data were collected using questionnaires by simple random sampling of 124 researchers and qualitative data was collected from the remaining respondents numbering 33 using interviews sampled using census. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically while quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS to generate descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that the Research Data management (RDM) legal framework had not yet been enshrined in the KALRO Act (No.17 of 2013) thus affecting data curation; the Research Data Curation (RDC) policies and regulations were outdated; the institutes did not involve libraries and librarians in coordinating functions of research data curation; the librarians and researchers had inadequate knowledge and skill of handling RDC service; there was limited awareness and advocacy for RDM. The study concludes that RDC services were not adequately managed. The study recommended the establishment of a formal data governance structure to address data curation services, a legislative and policy framework for RDM and data curation, collaboration and participation among librarians and researchers, capacity-building programs, sound technical infrastructure, and incentivization of stakeholders.

SOCIAL JUSTICE AND BANGABANDHU’S VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT THOUGHTS: A RETROSPECTIVE INQUIRY AND ANALYSIS
Authors: Saha Mithun Kumar
Published: February 2025

Abstract
After the independence of Bangladesh, the Planning Commission, headed
by Bangabandhu, allocated highest percentage of the total resources
for the village-centric sectors. Thus, question arises why Bangabandhu
brought such changes in attitude while in power, what were the contexts
of Bangabandhu’s concept of village development, what was his purpose
and, how did he plan to execute his notion of development. These questions
still remain mostly unanswered. This article aims to explore the context
of Bangabandhu’s thoughts on village development. On the basis of John
Rawls’ social justice theory, it also aims to find out how he evaluated the
actions and inactions of Pakistan central government regarding these
issues, and examine his thoughts on village development. This paper
presents an analytical narrative about Bangabandhu’s ideas about
village development. To do so, this research utilizes both primary and
secondary sources. Government documents, autobiographies, memoirs,
newspapers, transcripts of Bangabandhu’s speeches, research books and
articles are the basis of this paper. This research is qualitative in nature.
Following historical methods, it concludes with the finding that the village
development thoughts of Bangabandhu have their origin in Bangabandhu’s
personal experience and world outlook. Development of village became
his first priority. ‘Prosperous villages for a prosperous nation’ was the key
principle to his village development philosophy and the village cooperative
systems was the core component to achieve his goal.

ROKEYA SAKHAWAT HOSSAIN AND WORLD LITERATURE: A CRITICAL LOOK AT SULTANA’S DREAM
Authors: Mahzabeen Bushra
Published: February 2025

The literature of any country has its own appeal in today’s world
of Comparative Literature. To be recognised as a product of world
literature brings recognition for most writers in the present day. For
Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, a colonised Muslim Indian woman in the
late-nineteenth and early- twentieth century India, it would have been
a colossal task to reach a global audience with her futuristic writings.
Sultana’s Dream is a feminist utopian science fiction written by Rokeya,
which provides an insight into the power of imagination of a fearless
author ahead of her time. This paper argues that along with her other
works, Sultana’s Dream places Rokeya in the map of Comparative
Literature while her practice of translation and her modern world view
about women’s emancipation earns her a position in World literature.
Rokeya in her lifetime could not become part of the core or the European
literary circle since she belonged to the periphery. Today the translation
of Sultana’s Dream can mean her work has an opportunity to transcend
local literary boundaries and move to a much larger global audience.
Keywords: Muslim women, core and periphery, modernity, world

JAPANESE INDUSTRIAL GROWTH FROM MEIJI TO THE CURRENT PERIOD: A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Shoovra Farhana Akter
Published: February 2025

The trajectory of Japanese economic development and transformation
places high weight on Japan’s shift from a feudal society to an industrial
superpower. The history of Japan’s industrial transition reflects a
great significance in the global economy. The purpose of this study is
to demonstrate how Japan’s industrial evolution and progress have
changed from the start of the Meiji Restoration to the present. On the
basis of secondary data, the author deployed a qualitative approach in
this study. The majority of the information was gathered through online
journals, books, research papers, etc. The Meiji era primarily laid the
groundwork for Japan’s future economic powerhouse by improving
the nation’s infrastructure, reshaping its educational system, adopting
western technology, and modifying government regulations. Following
that, during the Taisho era, the government established the backing of
key sectors including steel, textiles, and shipbuilding, and as a result,
Japan had an increase in its industrial output. After the Second World
War, the industrial structure was destroyed, and the economic situation
was uncertain. However, Japan’s post-war economic miracle was
unexpectedly made possible by reforming its industrial policy with the
help of the United States. Japan’s innovation, surveillance of quality,
and export-focused policies helped it become known as the pinnacle
of technological excellence. Japanese businesses are influencing the
worldwide market with considerable success, including Sony, Toyota,
and Honda. However, after the late 20th century stagnation and bubble
crash, Japan began to suffer difficulties. Japan is advancing automation
in the modern period by emphasizing the use of robotics and artificial
intelligence. Japan continues to have a big position on the global market
for its technical advancement. Yet, Japan is currently dealing with issues
including an aging population, a dropping birthrate, a labor shortage,and retaliation from its neighbors that could impede the sustainability of
industrial expansion in the coming years.

GAUTAMA BUDDHA’S ECONOMIC PHILOSOPHY: A REVIEW
Authors: Kiron Md. Ashikuzzaman Khan
Published: February 2025

The words ‘human life’ and ‘money’ are closely related to each other. A
combination of these two is much needed to lead a life that truly means
life. A life without even the slightest meaning becomes a very difficult
affair to lead. Just as money is necessary for life, it should be earned
and spent according to ethics and religious rules. It makes it possible
to live a beautiful and fulfilling life. That should be what everyone
wants, and every religion has taught that. Gautama Buddha, the founder
of Buddhism, tried to teach his followers the same in his religion and
philosophy. The Buddha came out of a life of indulgence and luxury and
began to practice the spiritual life and truly acquired all the necessary
knowledge in all matters. In the light of that acquired knowledge, he has
imparted knowledge on various subjects to his followers. Similarly, he
taught how to earn and spend money to lead human life well. He has told
the story of his previous birth about the various uses of money in Jātaka.
He said this even when he was present. Similarly, he has imparted
beneficial teachings on the quality of life to his followers and others,
which we can know from various Suttās of the Tipiṭaka. He did not come
up with any scientific economic explanation. However, the core of his
economic philosophy is the teaching of welfare and peaceful living.
Gautama Buddha’s teachings on economic philosophy are presented in
this article in the light of various facts and data.

PESHKAR; THE INCEPTION OF ILLUSTRATION IN TABLA SOLO OF ALL GHARANA
Authors: Hossain Swarup
Published: February 2025

Indian classical music bifurcates into two major categories – one
is Carnatic music, which primarily originated from Southern India.
Another is Hindustani or North Indian Classical Music which prevails
in northern, eastern, and central regions of the Indian subcontinent.
Specifically speaking, the application of Peshkar in Tabla stands out as
its primary percussion instrument which is mainly a North Indian musical
terminology. The Tabla consists of a set of two drums: Dayan (right
drum) and Bayan (left drum). It holds significance in preserving musical
rhythm or ‘laya’, whether it be used for solo renditions or accompaniment
purposes. This discussion primarily focuses on the Peshkar’s role during
solo performances of Tabla. The playing techniques for the Tabla can
be categorized into ‘open Baaj’ and ‘closed Baaj’. The term ‘Peshker’
is one of the key terminologies across all Tabla Gharanas. There exist
six primary gharanas, namely Delhi, Farrukhabad, Lucknow, Ajdara,
Punjab and Banaras. Among these Gharanas; Delhi is considered to
be the root of them all. Typically, a Solo performance of Tabla begins
with Peshkar as per tradition. This practice was then followed in other
gharanas too. Thus, showcasing its universal adoptions barring a few
exceptions like Banaras Gharana where initial performance follows
a different format known as Auchar, Uthan instead. Various intricate
techniques of Tabla, such as Upaj, Laya-Laykari, Bols, and short phrases,
can be effectively utilized within the realm of Peshkar. The presentation
of a well-executed Peshkar has the potential to enhance any solo Tabla
performance significantly.

GEOGRAPHICAL FACTORS IN THE HISTORY OF ‘BENGAL’: REFLECTIONS FROM THE GUPTA COPPERPLATE INSCRIPTIONS
Authors: Habibullah Md.
Published: February 2025

This research aims to delineate the geographical factors of the past
inspired by the quest of ‘understanding the past to protect the future’.
Since time immemorial, numerous rivers have drenched the ‘Bengal’ delta.
These rivers carried down a high amount of silt each year, contributing
to the creation of this fertile delta. Moreover, the location of Bengal
in the monsoon zone results in heavy rainfall each year. Favourable
geophysical and climatic conditions have always been a blessing for the
growth of a variety of flora and fauna and for shaping the geographical
fortune of this region. The earliest trace of human settlement has been
discovered in the Rarh region since at least the Paleolithic period, and
to date, it has been the most densely populated region of South Asia. The
excessive burden of the population has gradually ruined the environment,
and many are looking forward to restoring the earlier state of ecological
infrastructure. The approach of historical inquiry in this research sheds
valuable insights on the Gupta copperplates as a conspicuous source
material for early history and contributes to putting together scattered
pieces of geographic elements of ancient Bengal as reflected in the
Gupta copperplates.

Air traffic is integral part to modern air traffic management in aviation system. The available literature mainly focuses on commercial and operational aspects, and sees air traffic safety as taken for granted that can be applied regardless of the context. However, this view of air traffic safety and security is unsatisfactory when it comes to macro-level contextual factors that operate beyond the normative organizational level. The aims of this search was to explore the contextual factors that influence the safety and security of global air traffic and therefore the provision of air traffic services. This study followed a systematic literature review approach to address these factors. Nineteen papers were reviewed, evaluated and analysed in terms of their contexts, key characteristics, and their main findings. The search identified three factors: political, wars and unlawful activities, and state safety oversight. These range of factors can be categorized and operate at supra-organizational level to influence air traffic safety and security. This article draws particular attention to the impact of politics and macro-level contextual factors on the airspace safety and security especially in combated airspaces. The Practical implications of the findings adopted in this article provides a useful source for differentiating between various contextual factors and the extent to which they function. This could make it possible to manage these factors more effectively, to enhance the potential for different stakeholders mitigate local, regional, and international risks to airspace safety and security.
