DOUBLE AND JOINT DEGREE PROGRAMS IN UKRAINE: REALIAS AND PROSPECTS
Authors: Lysak Olga
Published: July 2017

During the last ten years, with the adoption of legislation to promote academic mobility in Ukraine, the interest towards double/joint degree programs has increased dramatically. However, very little empirical research has been carried out to analyse the spread of the programs across Ukrainian universities and to outline the way such programs are used in particular educational institutions. The aim of this study was, therefore, to investigate the level of development of double/joint degree programs in Ukraine, analyse these programs according to the field of study and academic level. The main issues addressed in this article are special aspects, opportunities and issues connected with double and joint degrees. It is apparent that most double degree programs are offered in the areas of economics and management, while there are much fewer programs in the area of business. Double degree programs in economics, management and business tend to be fewer in number than non-degree mobility programs. The most common partner countries for establishing double degree programs are Poland, France, Italy, Slovakia, Sweden, the Netherlands, Austria, Spain and Lithuania. Sustainability of each program can be reached by permanent work on its improvement which includes making clear requirements, promotion of a program, increasing awareness on the benefits of studying abroad.
TESTING EFFICIENCY OF THE METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING STUDENTS MAJORING IN PHILOLOGY TO TRANSLATE TEXTS USING CAT-TOOLS: A PILOT STUDY
Authors: Olkhovska Alla
Published: July 2017

The article describes the results of introducing the newly developed methodology of teaching students majoring in philology to translate social and political texts from English into Ukrainian with the help of one of the leading computer-assisted translation software tools (CAT-tools) – SDL Trados. The course “Modern Translation Technologies. CAT-tools” included four thematic blocks (translating files of various formats; creating and managing term bases; creating translation memories based on existing translations (alignment) and managing them; managing translation projects) and three sub-systems of exercises (preparatory exercises, exercises for developing skills in translation with the help of CAT-tools, exercises for developing abilities in translation with the help of CAT-tools). The pilot study was carried out in the form of natural vertical experimental teaching which lasted during the second semester of 2015/2016 academic year (March – May). The subjects included 12 fifth year students of the Department of English Translation Theory and Practice of the School of Foreign Languages of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University majoring in translation. The course was introduced to the students during three months (24 academic hours), two academic hours per week. The stages of the experimental teaching included the following: preparing the experiment, realising it, processing the results and interpreting them. The comparison of the students’ average results obtained before and after the experimental teaching allows to state that there is a substantial increase in students’ proficiency in translating social and political texts from English into Ukrainian with the help of CAT-tools while the increase in students’ proficiency in translating similar texts from English into Ukrainian by hand is definitely low and can’t be regarded even as a satisfactory one. The results of the experimental teaching show that the hypothesis preconceived at the very beginning of the study is confirmed.
ANNOUNCEMENT-ANNOTATION TEXTS: DEFINITION, CORRELATION AND SYNTHESIS
Authors: Dzykovych Olga , Langer Sandra J.
Published: July 2017

The paper deals with the problems of definition, correlation and synthesis of two text types: announcement and annotation. The main goal of this article is to postulate they have enough similar features to be combined in one text type. The examination of the relationship between different types of text is one of the most current research topics in the European linguistic literature, to which more and more studies draw the attention. However, the empirical research is still rarely carried out. In this paper, announcement and annotation have been examined on common and different features of both speech genres with a view to a correlation of these genres. After the synthesis of two text types, the authors determined their common traits which evidence these genres consistency. After all, the suggestion was made to integrate the definitions of announcement and annotation texts into one definition: announcement-annotation texts (or annotexts). Although this postulate needs to be modified and supplemented in view of text types selected for analysis, it is a good starting point for further research.
SEMANTIC RELATIONS IN TOPICAL SEQUENCES OF ENGLISH BUSINESS DISCOURSE
Authors: Yushkevych Vira
Published: July 2017

The article presents the analysis of the content organisation of English business discourse, which can be hierarchical and linear. The overview of scientific papers demonstrates that only hierarchical organisation of discourse has been thoroughly studied, while the linear one is still the subject of investigation. The focus of this paper is the analysis of the linear-hierarchical organisation of the realised themes and topics in it and existing semantic relations between them. The linear-hierarchical organisation of the content in English business discourse is considered as a set of models: a monotopical one, which displays the realisation of the same theme and/or topic within the exchange, and a polytopical one, i.e. a content model that presents the unfolding of various themes and/or topics within the same exchange. The types of a polytopical model are identified as follows: first type demonstrates topical sequence, in which various topics belonging to one theme are combined; second type shows topical sequence, in which various topics belonging to different themes are combined. The types of semantic relations between the elements of the model are examined. The author has identified that in the monotopical model relations of generalisation, specification, modification, support and closing are realised, and in polytopical model – relations of digression and change. Topic change in its turn can be sharp/incohesive or gradual/coherent.
An Improved System for Utilizing Low-temperature Waste Heat of Flue Gas from Coal-Fired Power Plants
Authors: Huang Shengwei , Li Chengzhou , Tan Tianyu , Fu Peng , Xu Gang , Yang Yongping
Published: July 2017

In this paper, an improved system to efficiently utilize the low-temperature waste heat (WHUS) from the flue gas of coal-fired power plants is proposed based on heat cascade. The essence of the proposed system is that the waste heat of exhausted flue gas is not only used to preheat air for assisting coal combustion as usual but also to heat up feedwater and the low-pressure steam extraction. Preheated by both the exhaust flue gas in the boiler island and the low-pressure steam extraction in the turbine island, thereby part of the flue gas heat in the air preheater can be saved and introduced to heat the feedwater and the high-temperature condensed water. Consequently, part of the high-pressure steam is saved for further expansion in the steam turbine, which obtains additional net power output. Based on the design data of a typical 1000 MW ultra-supercritical coal-fired power plant in China, in-depth analysis of the energy-saving characteristics of the optimized WHUS and the conventional WHUS is conducted. When the optimized WHUS is adopted in a typical 1000 MW unit, net power output increases by 19.51 MW, exergy efficiency improves to 45.46%, and net annual revenue reaches 4.741 million USD. In terms of the conventional WHUS, these aforementioned performance parameters are only 5.83 MW, 44.80% and 1.244 million USD, respectively. The research of this paper can provide a feasible energy-saving option for coal-fired power plants.
Analysis of Severe Pain and its Treatment in a Palliative Care Unit in a Regional Cancer Centre
Authors: P Kannan , K Gunaseelan , V Parthasarathy
Published: July 2017

Objective: Pain is one of the most common symptoms that troubles cancer patients and precludes satisfactory quality of life. Globally, nearly 80% of the cancer patients receive little or no pain medication and cancer pain is barely controlled. This study was done to analyse the prevalence of pain and pain treatment in patients presenting to palliative care unit in a regional cancer centre.

Methods: Palliative care registry and follow-up forms of 2142 patients who got registered in our palliative care unit were analysed to obtain the demographic details, treatment characteristics and to determine the prevalence of pain, its severity, and treatment in cancer patients in our regional cancer centre.

Results: Nearly 50% of the cancer population had head and neck and gastrointestinal tract malignancies and received only best supportive care. Stage IV disease was found in 40% of patients, and skeletal metastasis (52%) was most common. This study showed a 92.4% prevalence of cancer pain in our centre. About 40% of patients with pain had a pain score of 7-10 by Numerical rating scale on initial presentation to the palliative care unit. About 65% of the patients with severe pain had a response to treatment withmorphine during their first follow-up to palliative care unit after initial registration. The average overall pain score of the patients per visit decreased from around 7 to 4 at a median follow-up of ten months.

Significance of results: Thus, there is a high prevalence of pain in cancer patients and patients with severe pain receive little or no opioid medication at all probably due to the lack of adequate education and training to the primary oncologists and residents regarding prescription of strong opioids. This audit may help in the modification of existing and formulation of new policies in the delivery of palliative care.

Comparison of Mesiodistal Root Angulation Measured from Conventional and CBCT Derived Panoramic Radiographs in Orthodontic Patients
Authors: Nasseh Ibrahim , Jensen Douglas , Noujeim Marcel
Published: July 2017

Introduction:

Use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in orthodontics is increasing; however, some patients started treatment with conventional images. The objective of this study is to manipulate CBCT panoramic reconstruction to make it comparable to conventional panoramic image and to compare mesiodistal root angulations on both images.

Materials and Methods:

Concurrent conventional panoramics and CBCT volumes were obtained from 40 subjects. CBCT volumes were manipulated to generate pan-like images that mimic the occlusal plane angle of the corresponding panoramic, allowing comparison of mesiodistal root angulations and determination of the head-tilt required to produce the reconstruction.

Results:

Clinically meaningful differences (p< .05) in the mesiodistal root angulations between standard panoramics and CBCT reconstructions emerged for 13 out of 24 teeth (54%). Greatest variations were seen in the maxillary and mandibular sextants and in first molar regions. Ideal axial head-tilt for image acquisition was determined to be with Frankfort horizontal plane 3.3onose down.

Conclusion:

CBCT pan images must be used with caution due to variation between methods in specific areas of arches. The images can be useful for the assessment of mesiodistal root angulations if the volume is properly manipulated to create a pan-like image.
Role of Sinonasal Anatomic Variations in the Development of Maxillary Sinusitis: A Cone Beam CT Analysis
Authors: Khojastepour Leila , Haghnegahdar Abdolaziz , Khosravifard Negar
Published: July 2017

Background:

Several anatomical variations can lead to the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses; therefore, surgeons should be familiar with these variations and their impacts on the status of the paranasal sinuses.

Objectives:

The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of Haller cells and its association with patients’ sex and age. Furthermore, the relationships between the presence and size of Haller cells, deviation of the uncinate process and size of the maxillary sinus ostium with the occurrence of maxillary sinusitis were investigated.

Materials/ Patients and Methods:

120 coronal CBCT images were retrieved and analyzed. Statistical analysis of the data was performed by means of Mann - Whitney, χ2and T tests.

Results:

There were statistically significant associations between the presence and surface area of Haller cells and the occurrence of ipsilateral maxillary sinusitis. Neither the angulation of the uncinate process nor the size of the maxillary sinus ostium significantly correlates with the formation of maxillary sinusitis.

Conclusion:

Haller cells can interfere with the normal drainage of the maxillary sinus and result in sinusitis. In contrast, diameter of the sinus ostium and deviation of the uncinate process do not influence the inflammatory status of the maxillary sinus significantly.
Establishing the Three-Way Voicing Contrast in Madurese Stops
Authors: Misnadin Misnadin
Published: July 2017

Madurese, a Western Malayo-Polynesian language spoken on the Indonesian island of Madura, has been described as having a three-way voicing contrast (i.e. voiced, voiceless unaspirated and voiceless aspirated) in its stops. However, the fact that the VOT values for voiceless unaspirated and aspirated stops are not large and they are also followed by vowels with different height raises a question if Madurese only contrasts voiced and voiceless stops phonologically instead. The goal of this paper is to establish the phonological status of the voicing contrast in Madurese stops, arguing that Madurese can be better described as a language with a three-way contrast. For this purpose, we provide phonological evidence that includes consonant-vowel interactions, vowel harmony processes and some morphophonemic processes involving vowel height alternations. All of this evidence is also used to substantiate the proposal that consonants trigger vowel height alternation rather than vowels trigger consonant allophony.
Framing a Trickster Character in Two Different Media and Eras: A Study on Br’er Rabbit in Uncle Remus’ Stories and Disney’s Song of the South
Authors: Saktiningrum Nur
Published: July 2017

This article analyses Br’er Rabbit, a trickster character in African-American folklore. As a trickster Br’er Rabbit possesses a paradoxical nature. On the one hand, Br’er Rabbit acts as a hero but on the other hand, he constantly plays tricks on others and by doing so, he is also violating the prevailing values. These two opposing aspects of trickster’s nature offer an interesting subject for the research. The questions considered worth focusing on in discussing the subject are: How can trickster character be described? What values are represented by trickster character? Is there any shift in the description and represented values in different media and over time? The study presented in this article was aimed at investigating the transformation of how the trickster is characterized and values represented by trickster Br’er Rabbit in Uncle Remus’ folktale version of “The Wonderful Tar Baby (1881) and The Laughing Place” (1903) written by Joel Chandler Harries and the same trickster character in the same stories featured in Disney’s “Song of the South” (1946). By comparing and contrasting both narratives in different media and eras, it is uncovered that there are some changes on the depiction and nature as well as values represented by Br’er Rabbit, the trickster character. The study presented in this article was aimed at investigating the transformation of values represented by trickster Br’er Rabbit in Uncle Remus’ folktale version of “Tar Baby and The Laughing Place” (1879) written by Joel Chandler Harries and the same trickster character in the same stories featured in Disney’s “Song of the South.” The research questions of this study are answered by applying Barths’ theory and method in studying headlines news. This model of research enables the researcher to understand and interprete values represented by the trickster character in different times and media.
Book Review. Feeling Gender: A Generational and Psychological Approach
Authors: Rudy Rudy
Published: July 2017

As one of the phenomenal issues in the world, gender has always been an unfinished argument among experts, researchers, and academicians. With the growth of science and technology and the development of media in the 20th century, there have been many changes in perceiving gender. Topic on gender which was not widely discussed in academic forum has become an important topic nowadays. Studies and researches on gender have been in great progress since 1990s when more and more experts such as Judith Butler, Donna Haraway, etc. began to publish their writing on gender and sexuality. People started learning more about this issue.A common thing that people may understand is that there are biological and social factor which give a significant impact to gender categorizations (Fagot et al, 1997: 2). However, gender issues remain arguable topics from time to time. Era changes and one generation is replaced by another younger generations. From this condition, Harriet Bjerrum Nielsen, the professor at the Centre for Gender Research at the University of Oslo, Norway has shown her serious concern on how feelings of gender can change from one generation to another by observing the how men and women from some generations feel about their relationships toward their parents in order to reveal what gender really is to them. Therefore, this study incorporates a generational and psychological approach for analysis.

My Teaching Philosophy with Particular Reference to Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Ahmad Nehal
Published: July 2017

It has been due on my part to share my own teaching philosophy with my colleagues in the University in general and other language instructors engaged in this noble profession. Needless to say, creating our own teaching philosophy is an innovative practice and it should be a meaningful part of us as second/foreign language teachers since it states our teaching/learning vision and wisdom, observations, experiences, goals, beliefs, level of professionalism and self-development among many other things. However, in real life situation, we do not often implement all our innovative ideas that we possess in our teaching philosophy. The main objective of the present study is to share my decades of experiences as a language instructor as a student of linguistics as well as an English language instructor.

Coyo 3: momentos finales del Período Medio en San Pedro de Atacama
Authors: Costa Junqueira María Antonietta , Llagostera Martínez Agustín
Published: July 2017

Se analiza el cementerio arqueológico Coyo Occidente 3 de San Pedro de Atacama, el que por fechación radiocarbónica (promedio 930 DC) y por las evidencias culturales, corresponde a los momentos finales del Período Agroalfarero Medio. En el análisis de este sitio se ha integrado la información entregada por indicadores bioantropológicos con la de los indicadores culturales para inferir implicaciones en cuanto a estilo y calidad de vida, distribución de la población (edad y sexo), disposición de los enterratorios y de las ofrendas, caracterización artefactual y contextual, etc., para trazar en última instancia el perfil biosociocultural de una población epigonal del período referido en el Salar de Atacama. Los contextos alfareros permitieron segregar dos grupos de enterratorios, separados espacialmente por contemporáneos, lo que hace a los autores postular la existencia de “mitades”, las que estarían expresando una organización sociopolítica de tipo dual.

El sistema ritual atacameño representa una correspondencia de los ciclos y fenómenos naturales expresados en la forma del panteón de los santos tutelares católicos. Este sistema tiene profunda relación con los ciclos anuales agrícolas y cosmológicos. Se propone una sincronicidad del ciclo ritual, agrícola y cosmológico de los habitantes de la cuenca del Salar de Atacama, en el sentido de la coincidencia de los ciclos naturales, el ciclo ritual y agrícola, cuyo eje son los restos de los fenómenos naturales divinizados. La agricultura tradicional y los aspectos culturales de la sociedad atacameña tienen una profunda relación con estos ciclos.ABSTRACTThe ritual system of San Pedro de Atacama represents an absolute correspondency of natural cycles and natural phenomenas, expresed on the form of catholic tutelary saints. This system has a deep relation with the agricultural and cosmological annual cycles. There exist a sincronicity between the ritual, agricultural and cosmological calendaries used among the people of San Pedro. The axis of this sincronicity are the remains of divinized naturals phenomenas. The traditional agriculture and those cultural aspects of the San Pedro’s society has a deep relation with these cycles.
Compacting and densification of TiO2 nanoparticles
Authors: Alvarez Roca , Leite Edson , Longo Elson
Published: July 2017

This work investigated the compacting and densification behaviour of TiO2
nanoparticles prepared by the simple non-aqueous sol-gel process. The
synthesized nanopowder has anatase TiO2 structure with the average
crystallite size of 10 nm and agglomerated particles. The compressibility
curve shows two well-defined linear parts that intersect at ~380MPa which is
a measure of agglomerate compressive strength. The densification process was
investigated by the dilatometric analysis using non-isothermal experiments.
The apparent activation energy for the densification was calculated (88-102
kJ/mol). Grain rearrangement by grain boundary sliding was proposed as the
dominant shrinkage mechanism.
Crucial effect of SiC particles on in situ synthesized mullite whisker reinforced Al2O3-SiC composite during microwave sintering
Authors: Dang Xudan , Wei Meng , Zhang Rui , Guan Keke , Fan Bingbing , Long Weimin , Ma Jia , Zhang Hongsong
Published: July 2017

Mullite whisker reinforced Al2O3-SiC composites were in situ synthesized by
microwave sintering at 1500?C for 30min. The influence of SiC particle size
on heating process and properties of Al2O3-SiC composite were investigated.
The XRD and SEM techniques were carried out to characterize the samples. The
thermal shock resistance and flexural strength of the samples were examined
through water quenching and three-point bending methods, respectively. It
was found that the bridging of mullite whisker appeared between Al2O3 and
SiC particles which enhanced the thermal shock resistance. A so-called local
hot spot effect was proposed dependent on the coupling of SiC particles with
microwave, which was the unique feature of microwave sintering. The maximal
thermal shock resistance and flexural strength were obtained for the samples
with SiC particle size of ~5?m.

SEJARAH DAKWAH DI MAKASSAR
Authors: Syamsuri Syamsuri
Published: July 2017

This paper deals with the Islamic da’wah in Makassar. Islam in this area coincided with the culture and structure of society. Those who hold an authority are forced to go hand in hand with society to concern with Islam in order to be regarded as‚pious and religious‛. A variety of symbols are displayed as a scenario to please people. Such symbols are a dome of mosque, religiosity, pilgrimage (hajj), ‘umrah, and designation of‚ guru mengaji‛ (religious teacher). Cultural Islam has a great impact on those in authority as an agent. Along with the history of da’wah in Makassar, history always forces those in authority to go in and out as a moment of creating image, and da’wah was made as commodity.
Kritik Yusuf al-Qaradawi di sekitar Kompetensi Dai dalam Bidang Hadis
Authors: Ahsan Mohammad Nur
Published: July 2017

This paper describes the criticism of Yusuf al-Qaradawi to the phenomenon of mistaken hadith quoting done usually by Muslim preachers. Although there is a controversy among the scholars of hadith about the use of weak hadths in terms of religious commands and prohibitons, al-Qaradawi considers it important for the Muslim preachers to equip themselves with knowledge of the issues summarized in the science of hadith, such as takhrij al-hadith and rijal  al-hadith.  This is recommended for the Muslim preachers to be careful of using weak hadiths denied because it contained falsehood. Yusuf al-Qaradawi offerred three additional requirements necessary for the preachers in this context. However, he rejected ethical recommendations for the preachers to quote weak hadiths either in sanad (chain of transmitters) or matn (the content of hadiths)
POLA DAKWAH MULTIKULTURAL DI KOTA PALU
Authors: Syamsuri Syamsuri
Published: July 2017

This paper deals with a variety of da’wah in Palu. It is assumed that polarization of people leads to cultural consequences, which are manifested in the form of Islamic organization, such as Alkhairaat, Darul Dakwah wal Irsyad (DDI), and so forth. As a result, suspicion emerges among native people towards rituals carried out by newcomers. This paper is based on multicultural, which emphasizes on universal justice which is inherent in the inividuals regardless of their association to the group. The result shows that there is ‚mutual understanding‛ between Muslim preachers from various Islamic organizations. The patterns of da’wah activities in  Palu emerged due to the dynamics  of economic struggle (mareso masagena), the flexibility of the local culture (nosampesuvu), and the wisdom of community leaders, both formal and informal (tataguna).
PROBLEMATIKA DAKWAH DALAM MENINGKATKAN PERILAKU KEAGAMAAN
Authors: Suriati Suriati
Published: July 2017

Schools are not only as the basis of education, but also the basis of da’wah, which is intended to create students who are islamic in their behaviour and lifes. The current reality shows that a lot of children are involved in a variety of delinquency, and the most horrible of them is free sex and drugs.  This paper deals with da’wah that was carried out in Senior High School (SMA) 6 Palu and its barriers. This research shows that da’wah in this school was conducted anually, especially in Islamic holidays and the holy month of Ramadhan. Besides, da’wah was carried out in a partial and personal way.  “Partial”  means  da’wah  depends on the teachers of Islamic religious education, while “personal” means it is only desiring teachers who conduct Islamic da’wah. Moreover, the problems of da’wah in this school comprise the absence of school policy that binds all elements of school to do da’wah, in addition to the lack of budget to support the da’wah activities.
URGENSI KOMUNIKASI POLITIK DAKWAH
Authors: Suharto Suharto
Published: July 2017

Political communication is a  kind of communication which involves political messages and  actors, or  it is related to power, state, and government policy. Based on this definition, as an  applied science, political communication is not something new. It can be also understood as a communication between ''the  ruler" and  ''the  ruled". To communicate politics without a concrete political action can be actually carried by anyone, such as students, lecturers, and so on. The same also applies to political communcation of da'wah,  which is not relatively different from political communication in general.

Authors: Abreu Samara Moura Barreto de , Nóbrega-Therrien Sílvia Maria , Silva Silvina Pimentel
Published: July 2017

Este estudo objetiva compreender as narrativas autobiográficas como dispositivos na (auto)formação para a pesquisa de licenciandos em Educação Física. Investe-se no método (auto)biográfico centrado em fontes das histórias de formação, no campo da pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, na experiência de uma pesquisa-formação. Seis discentes de Educação Física do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Ceará, campus de Canindé, foram os sujeitos da investigação. Ante os dilemas formativos apresentados, os sujeitos conviveram entre si, empoderados dos conhecimentos epistemológicos, técnicos, afetivos e dialogais, desvelados na relação da “ensinagem” para a pesquisa mediante as narrativas autobiográficas. Conforme a experiência vivida, reafirma-se que as narrativas autobiográficas possibilitam um melhor entendimento dos processos formativos pelos sujeitos, colocando-os em lugar de protagonistas, exprimindo uma autonomização e responsabilização sobre suas aprendizagens.

¿Geopolítica del caos, orden cosmopolita o hegemonía Norteamericana?
Authors: Llano Ángel Hernando
Published: July 2017

La historia (history) aparece cada vez que ocurre un acontecimiento lo suficientemente importante para iluminar su pasado. Entonces la masa caótica de sucesos pasados emerge como un relato (story) que puede ser contado, porque tiene un comienzo y un final. Lo que el acontecimiento iluminador revela es un comienzo en el pasado que hasta aquel momento estaba oculto; a los ojos del historiador, el acontecimiento iluminador no puede sino aparecer como el final de este comienzo recientemente descubierto.

Pensar lo que acontece, un compromiso del intelectualPuede resultar algo atrevido e irresponsable reflexionar en caliente sobre acontecimientos de los que tenemos, por los demás, una información fragmentaria y sesgada. De todas formas se trata de un compromiso como profesores e intelectuales. Esto sí, echo de menos el que no merezca un igual despliegue ni fomente expresiones análogas de solidaridad la violencia y el terrorismo que estamos viviendo y padeciendo en nuestro medio.

Published: July 2017

En Colombia, en los últimos años, se ha visto una movilización de esfuerzos, sin precedentes, hacia la planificación del uso de la tierra, motivada por la necesidad de producir planes de ordenamiento territorial a nivel municipal. Se han iniciado ciertos procesos participativos muy positivos y se ha visto la necesidad de abordar en forma colectiva y simultanea los estudios del ambiente biofísico y socio económico de los municipios y de las regiones del país. Dentro de este proceso, la etapa de prospectiva es la más difícil, una vez que se ha establecido una visión concertada del futuro deseado, que se han caracterizado las condiciones biofísicas y socioeconómicas y detectado los problemas que se quieren resolver y oportunidades a perseguir, surgen las preguntas como? y donde?.
