Yalálag. Un pueblo zapoteco transnacional.
Authors: Aquino Moreschi Alejandra , Cruz-Manjarrez Adriana
Published: December 2024

Este libro documenta desde “abajo” y desde “adentro”, los esfuerzos de los hombres y las mujeres de Yalálag por recuperar, recrear y mantener su comunalidad a lo largo de casi un siglo, tanto en el interior del pueblo como en los diferentes lugares de inmigración. La comunalidad se aborda como una apuesta política y vital que pone en el centro de atención la reproducción material y simbólica de la vida comunitaria. Asimismo, asegura su autorregulación y autogobierno bajo subjetividades y prácticas políticas propias, muy diferentes a las determinadas por el Estado mexicano.
Pensar y escribir sobre Yalálag “desde la comunalidad” y las propias voces yalaltecas, permite a esta obra tomar distancia del enfoque étnico que ha dominado la antropología y abonar el camino de la descolonización epistémica.
Tiempo libre y recreación en la París de principios de siglo XX. Una crónica de Rubén Darío sobre el patinaje al aire libre
Authors: Avilés Clara María
Published: December 2024

-
El presente artículo analiza la crónica urbana “’Skating ring’ al aire libre” de Rubén Darío, publicada por primera vez en septiembre de 1910 en el diario La Nación de Buenos Aires, en una sección que se tituló “Films de París”. Pocos años después, formó parte del último volumen de crónicas compilado y editado en vida del autor, Todo al vuelo (1912), en un capítulo homónimo a la sección del diario de los Mitre.
La crónica se centra en la inauguración de una pista de patinaje sobre ruedas en la ciudad de París y en ella se muestra esta actividad deportiva como una práctica de ocio distintiva. Desde la escritura, su autor nos invita a reflexionar sobre el género de la crónica urbana modernista de entresiglos, las nuevas formas de tiempo libre y el incipiente desarrollo de la industria cinematográfica. A través de imágenes en movimiento, Darío vincula el patinaje con la danza, por medio de la descripción detallada de los cuerpos durante el espectáculo montado en el espacio público.
La cultura cubana de los años 80. Una discusión sobre los aportes de Rafael Rojas
Authors: Iriarte Ignacio
Published: December 2024

En Tumbas sin sosiego, Rafael Rojas propone una interpretación de los años 80 y 90 cubanos a partir de dos ideas centrales: 1) el gobierno pasa del totalitarismo al autoritarismo, y 2) se incorporan las principales ideas de la posmodernidad. En este trabajo me propongo examinar esta propuesta, deteniéndome en los años 80. Desde mi punto de vista, la interpretación de Rojas es esclarecedora, pero la forma en que lee las dinámicas culturales de los 80 merece una revisión. Aunque Rojas afirma que el gobierno impuso restricciones a la circulación de las ideas de la perestroika y la glasnost, hasta mediados de 1989 éstas circularon de manera fluida en la prensa periódica y cultural. Para demostrar esto, en la primera parte analizo fragmentos de la prensa en los que se pone en evidencia la circulación de estas ideas. En la segunda, abordo la exhibición de películas soviéticas de la glasnost en Cuba. La hipótesis de este trabajo es que en los años 80 la esfera pública cubana está interesada en las ideas, los dispositivos estéticos y las discusiones soviéticas y norteamericanas, y ella misma se encuentra en un intenso proceso de discusión sobre las formas de comprender el arte, la literatura y los modos de articular el socialismo con la nueva realidad.
Constancias. Una lectura topológica de la cotidianeidad cubana contemporánea
Authors: Gómez Susana M.
Published: December 2024

La noción de “topología” proveniente de las ciencias duras aporta a la crítica literaria su operatividad para describir la narrativa como un espacio que sitúa lugares de lectura literaria. Los espacios topicalizados se reconocen dibujando una espacialidad creada por la vivencia de los escritores recientes de literatura cubana, en una representación ficcional. La Habana se constituye por sus sujetos que habitan, migran y demuelen muros simbólicos para figurar su existencia. Seguiremos movimientos que realizan por minúsculos rincones que vuelven literario “lo común” cotidiano y que, de alguna manera, crean topologías como una forma política de responder al ser-ahí, con el cual actúan en las decisiones y escisiones estratégicas. Así, se vuelven material de escritura que les sitúa en el cuerpo literario cubano, isleño o exiliado. Vemos así aparecer una “no-épica” en un estudio crítico que descubre una forma de dar cuenta de un proceder y un deseo de narrar la vida en Cuba.

El archivo del Este. Desplazamientos en los imaginarios de la literatura cubana contemporánea, de la profesora e investigadora argentina Irina Garbatzky, recopila varios ensayos que la autora fue publicando en revistas académicas y cuyo leitmotiv, el “Este”, les ofrece un hilo conductor, una organicidad y un aire de familia necesarios para “comparecer” todos juntos en el libro, como variaciones de un mismo tema. Este pretexto o motivo central es lo que le permite a Garbatzky, incorporar y leer de manera menos canónica obras de Alejo Carpentier y Virgilio Piñera. El libro se suma a un conjunto de voces críticas que ha venido pensando desde dentro y fuera de Cuba el campo literario y cultural del país desde los años 90 hasta este siglo XXI.

Ya antes del índice, una nota introduce la colección en la que se incluye este volumen. Se trata del undécimo de los sesenta volúmenes publicados. Esta colección toma el relevo del Dictionaire de linguistique romane (ocho volúmenes publicados entre 1988 y 2005) y de la Histoire des langues romanes (tres volúmenes publicados entre 2003 y 2008). Las lenguas elegidas para esta nueva colección son el francés, el italiano, el español, el inglés y, en contadas ocasiones, el portugués. Sorprende, por tanto, que se hayan excluido otras lenguas románicas con estatus oficial, como el catalán, el aranés, el gallego o el rumano. Y por inglés, ¿no nos referimos al impreciso globish que se ha convertido en la lingua franca? En cualquier caso, este manual está escrito íntegramente en francés.

La primera edición de este libro tuvo lugar en Argentina en 2021, apenas dos años después de que la escritora estadounidense Úrsula Le Guin falleciera. Sin embargo, recientemente hemos recibido una nueva publicación de este conjunto de conversaciones que la autora mantuviera con su amigo, el escritor David Naimon. El deseo de que este recorrido, se convirtiese en el libro que hoy, nos invita nuevamente a adentrarnos, en estas reflexiones sobre la acción de escribir, surgió de uno de los encuentros, que tuvieron lugar en la casa de Le Guin, junto a su gato Pard, convertido, como le permitió su dueña, en escritor de un blog autobiográfico.

Published: December 2024

Crop intercropping is a technique designed to optimize the use of production areas, diversify crops, and mitigate agricultural risks. This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance of lettuce and jilo intercropping fertilized with bovine manure in soil covered with mulch. The treatments consisted of lettuce and jilo plants grown either as monocrops or intercropped, with and without mulch, and in the absence or presence of bovine manure fertilization (40 t ha⁻¹). The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with three replicates. The lettuce cultivar Veneranda and the jilo cultivar Morro Grande Verde Escuro were used. For lettuce, the evaluated parameters included total fresh mass (g plant⁻¹), commercial shoot mass (g plant⁻¹), commercial index, and yield (g m⁻²). For jilo, plant height (cm plant⁻¹), stem diameter (mm plant⁻¹), number of leaves per plant (leaves plant⁻¹), number of fruits per plant (fruits plant⁻¹), average fruit mass (g fruit⁻¹), production per plant (kg plant⁻¹), and yield (t ha⁻¹) were assessed. Soil temperature was recorded weekly. Bovine manure application significantly stimulated jilo growth and increased crop yields by 52.66% for lettuce and 29.02% for jilo. Soil mulching with plant residues reduced soil temperature by 16.59% in the intercropping system of lettuce and jilo. Furthermore, intercropping lettuce with jilo did not adversely affect the agronomic performance of either crop.

The Origins of Vietnam’s and South Korea’s Diverging International Strategies
Authors: Liu Boxi
Published: December 2024

Both Vietnam and South Korea were historically tributary states to China and shared similar cultural and political influences. However, in the modern era, their international policies have diverged significantly. Existing research provides detailed analysis on various topics such as the U.S.-South Korea alliance, the role of the U.S. in re-establishing the international order, and the political situations of South Korea and Vietnam. This paper examines the differences in the international policies of Vietnam and South Korea to analyze the background and non-material factors related to social concepts. Based on this analysis, it explores the hierarchical order between major and minor powers within the international environment. The paper argues that despite their historical similarities, differing political backgrounds have led these two countries down markedly different paths. Moreover, internal innovation and domestic conditions are essential factors for national development, as depending on major powers for legitimacy leads only to short-term gains and undermines a country’s potential for sustainable, long-term progress.
Puntuación de los argumentos verbales en la General estoria
Authors: Las Heras Calvo Miguel
Published: December 2024

La bibliografía ha reseñado la relación que hay entre puntuación y sintaxis en la prosa medieval castellana, especialmente en la General estoria de Alfonso X el Sabio. Dicho vínculo se ha analizado, principalmente, a un nivel supraoracional. Sin embargo, para conocer mejor los criterios por los que los copistas insertaban estos signos de puntuación, es necesario también analizar aquellos que se insertan dentro de cada oración. Por ello, en este trabajo se analiza un corpus conformado por 183 casos, pertenecientes a los dos manuscritos regios conservados de la General estoria, en los que se inserta algún signo de puntuación en torno al verbo y sus argumentos.
En este análisis se estudiarán los contextos sintácticos más propicios para la inserción de algún signo de puntuación, así como los posibles motivos que justifiquen dicha puntuación. Asimismo, se observarán algunas semejanzas y coincidencias con las pausas que insertamos en el discurso actualmente.
La combinación de clíticos de tercera persona en el español de los siglos XV y XVI en documentos no literarios
Authors: Iglesias Olivier
Published: December 2024

La combinación de clíticos de tercera persona es uno de los aspectos problemáticos que ofrece el sistema lingüístico del español actual. ¿Cómo explicar el uso de la forma se en lugar de le cuando se combinan clíticos de tercera persona de dativo y de acusativo? Las explicaciones tradicionales justifican el paso de gelo a selo por razones fonológicas y analógicas (con se reflexivo en se lo). Sin embargo, varias son las razones que deben llevarnos a recharlas. Creemos que la explicación del paso de gelo a selo es más compleja y tiene que ver ante todo con la principal peculiaridad de esta combinación: su carácter unitario que provocaría dificultades a la hora de asignarles a los clíticos sus funciones sintácticas. Además, en el corpus utilizado en este trabajo salta a la vista una muy probable analogía con el pronombre se no paradigmático que ve su uso dispararse considerablemente en el mismo periodo en que gelo deja de usarse. Todos estos factores, unidos a la relativa proximidad fonética entre ge y se tuvieron que favorecer el uso de selo en detrimento de gelo.
El ensordecimiento de las sibilantes: una cuestión de oído
Authors: Rost Bagudanch Assumpció
Published: December 2024

El proceso de ensordecimiento de las sibilantes del español supone la desfonologización de los tres fonemas sonoros existentes en castellano medieval. Las explicaciones que se han ofrecido tradicionalmente para dar cuenta de un cambio tan drástico se centran en aspectos de reorganización fonológica o en el contacto de lenguas con el vasco, pero no suelen tener en cuenta la posibilidad de que la evolución tenga un origen puramente fonético, como defienden Alonso (1967) o Pensado (1993). Siguiendo el camino de Widdison (1997), se plantea un acercamiento desde la fonética experimental, esencialmente desde la percepción, a partir de la gramática comparada: el catalán presenta un sistema de sibilantes similar al del castellano medieval. Los resultados apuntan a que el inicio de la neutralización de sonoridad en las sibilantes parece hallarse en la existencia de variación fonética y en cómo se interpreta esta variación auditivamente. Así pues, una concepción del cambio no teleológica describe de forma mucho más satisfactoria y adecuada un cambio que no se contempla ya como excepcional ni extraño.

Enhancing Structural Application: Assessing the Suitability of Sawn and Glue Laminated Albizia zygia (Ayunre) Timber for Sustainable Construction
Authors: Ekundayo Olurotimi Olusegun , Arum Chinwuba , Shittu Lovelt Temilola
Published: December 2024

Leading economies are moving towards a bio-based economy for sustainability, but Africa struggles to utilize its bio- resource such as timber for advanced engineering application due to its natural limitations. Nevertheless, glue lamination (glulam) is promising for enhancing wood for structural application. Hence, this study investigated the shear strength of glue laminated (glulam) joints of Albizia zygia (A. zygia) timber species bonded with polyurethane (PUR) adhesive and other essential physical and mechanical properties in line with relevant standards. Briefly state the methodology before results to ensure flow. The results showed that the mean density of the wood species is 519 at a mean moisture content of 12%. The wood recorded a mean volumetric shrinkage and volumetric swelling of 1.17% and 6.52% respectively. Other properties include mean bending strength at 53.89 , mean stiffness at 6106 N/mm2, compressive strength parallel to grain at 32.70 and mean tensile strength at 33.61 . Furthermore, the lap shear strength for glue laminated joints was tested according to EN 302-2013 standard and compared to control solid beams. The mean shear strength for glulam was 2.32 while it was 1.64 for the control beams. Thus, the glued joints performed better in shear than the control specimen. Finally, the residual shear strength of the joints was a mean value of 1.28 after subjecting them to accelerated aging tests (AAT). This is equivalent to 44.83% decrease of the shear strength in the dry use state. Hence, glue laminated A. zygia using PUR is not suitable for external use due to weathering effects on its shear strength. Based on the findings in this study, A. zygia is a moderately dense wood suitable for structural use but for interior application when laminated with PUR. It is shown that locally sourced A. zygia can be enhanced through glue lamination for structural joints in service class 2 according to Eurocode 5.
Fluoride Concentration in Selected Water Sources of Ngamiland and Boteti Districts: Risk of Dental Fluorosis
Authors: Mfundisi Kelebogile B , Marebole Modiredi K , Kaisara Kelebileone
Published: December 2024

Fluoride is well-known for its role in preventing dental issues and promoting strong teeth and bones. It is commonly found in water, tea, and fluoridated toothpaste. The World Health Organisation recommends fluoride concentrations between 0.5 mg/L to 1.50 mg/L in water. Excessive fluoride intake can lead to dental fluorosis which affects tooth enamel. This study aimed to investigate fluoride levels in different water sources within selected villages of Ngamiland and Central Boteti districts and assess dental fluorosis prevalence among the residents. Our objectives were to measure fluoride concentrations in various water sources, evaluate the impact of pH and salinity on fluoride levels, and determine the link between fluoride concentration and dental fluorosis prevalence. Water samples were analyzed for fluoride concentration, pH, and salinity using ion chromatograph, pH meter, and conductivity meter, respectively. Interviews were conducted in Maun, Tsau, Toteng, and Motopi regarding dental fluorosis prevalence. Results showed that groundwater in Motopi and Tsau had fluoride concentrations ranging from 2.81 – 17.05 mg/L, while Toteng tap and standpipe water had fluoride concentrations of 0.78 and 0.83 mg/L. Maun tap and standpipe water, as well as Motopi surface water, yielded fluoride concentrations ranging from 0.16 – 0.37 mg/L. Salinity and pH showed no significant relationship with fluoride concentration, with correlation coefficients of 0.09 and 0.46, respectively. In conclusion, Tsau boreholes had the highest fluoride concentration, linked to dental fluorosis in individuals aged 30 years and above. Maun tap and standpipe water, alongside Motopi tap and surface water, exhibited low fluoride concentrations, while Toteng tap, and standpipe water revealed appropriate fluoride levels. The study revealed that Salinity and pH do not influence fluoride concentration in water.
Comparison of Concrete Strengthened with Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Carbon Textile-Reinforced Mortar (CTRM)
Authors: Wang Xuan , Lin Xinyue , Xu Shunbi
Published: December 2024

Applying new composite material for strengthening and repairing existing structures is an important research topic. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer/Plastics (CFRP) and Carbon Textile Reinforced Mortar (CTRM) are two common structural external reinforcement materials. 18 concrete specimens strengthened with CFRP and CTRM are prepared in this study. The quasi-static single-sided shear tests combined with the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method is applied. The results show that the interface bonding strength of CFRP strengthening (0.76-0.96 MPa) is 65.0% to 74.8% higher than the CTRM-concrete interface (0.43-0.63 MPa). The ductility and energy dissipation capacity of CTRM strengthening is better than that of CFRP strengthening, and the effective bonding length is 125 to 300 mm. In practical work, CFRP is preferred for improving the strength of concrete components, while CTRM is preferred for improving ductility and seismic resistance.
Keywords: Carbon fibre-reinforced composites (CFRP); Carbon textile-reinforced mortar (CTRM); Digital image correlation method (DIC); Single-sided shear test

This paper addresses the question that is global as decision making in the scenario of ambiguity. Given the conflicting or less dependable information, it also becomes necessary to look for approaches that assist us. Conventional strategic planning approaches work relatively well with straightforward and precise information. These become inadequate with situations that are ambiguous. To address this challenge, we adopt the Neutrosophic Hierarchy Method that integrates with SWOT analysis in addressing the challenge. As such, we learn to evaluate or assess the four components of SWOT: Strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats in wider terms. However, we do appreciate that often what we assess is not black and white but in shades of color. The conclusion is that for complex decision-making, this approach seems more appropriate and offers better results than others offer. The key aim of this article is to put forth a novel perspective on how decisions should be made in the face of uncertainty. Most of all, we expect to be helpful to both policymakers and strategists in the sense of providing a tool, which can be useful when it comes to the practical inconsistencies that are quite frequently in excess of reasonable solutions.

Herein, 8-week-old male mice were exposed to two specific genres of music, Hip-Hop (HH) and Heavy Metal (HM) and Construction Noise (CN) and a series of behavioral experiments were performed to evaluate the impact of these music or sounds on the emotion of mice. The experiment lasted 1 week in which 8-week-old male mice were used as animal models. We found that long term exposure HM, HH and CN induced depressive symptoms with a decrease in dopamine receptor 1 and BDNF protein in the mixture of hippocampus and frontal cortex of mice. Our results have highly addressed that certain special types of sound or music might induce negative emotions and loss of dopaminergic neurons in mice and it is necessary to intervene in adolescences that are exposed to these music or sounds for a long time.

Low energy and fatigue are key symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and even when depression is partially treated, fatigue often remains as a persistent residual symptom. MDD was the third leading cause of global disease burden in 2008 and is projected by World Health Organization (WHO) to rank first by 2030. Globally, 15.1% of adults and 6.0% of minor’s experience fatigue, while 10.1% of adults and 1.5% of minors suffer from chronic fatigue. Hence, it is essential to investigate further strategies to enhance human energy and alleviate fatigue. Traditional natural remedies are gaining attention as alternative therapies for various diseases worldwide. For centuries, various natural substances have been used to enhance physical and mental energy, combating fatigue, playing a vital role in mental health support, particularly in managing conditions like depression. This review aims to fill the gap in comprehensive literature reviews regarding those natural substances in Southeast Asian countries. It focuses on potential natural substances from six countries: Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Bhutan, Malaysia and Thailand. By summarizing and comparing these substances, we can identify shared effects and properties, as well as unique characteristics that differentiate them across various regions. This review examines 454 natural substances from six countries, used to enhance energy and combat fatigue, with a focus on plant-based sources, excluding animals and insects. Among those natural substances, 6.2% are from the Fabaceae family, followed by 4.8% from the Rubiaceae family and 4.2% from the Zingiberaceae family. In all a the natural substances used, leaves represent the largest portion at 22.1%, followed by roots at 15.9% and fruits at 13.9%. This review is an attempt to study and compile the traditional and scientific aspects of the potential energizing substances used in Southeast Asia reported till date.
A Cinematic Understanding of Poetry Images

This study attempted to examine the development of poetry images and their structure by utilizing the unique characteristics of the cinema genre. This shows a different approach from the attitude of discussing modernist poetry by limiting it to the level of painting. If a painting is structured as a single overall screen, a cinema has the characteristic of assembling fragmentary screens to structure the whole. Therefore, the attitude of understanding poetry images cinematically requires appropriate use and analysis of free viewpoint changes that allow the screen to be divided into several parts and editing methods necessary to effectively assemble the results that appear through this. In addition, the appropriate use and arrangement of sound effects are also elements that should be examined. This cinematic understanding of poetry images not only helps in understanding the intimate structuring method of poetry images, but also confirms that it can be a good means for examining the continuation and deepening of the emotions that the poem is trying to convey.

EdTech tools that were convenient for instructors and demonstrated effective learning outcomes were selected and categorized into online collaboration tools and online creation tools. This paper first discusses online collaboration tools that feature intuitive user interfaces and designs, enhancing the efficiency of lecture management and promoting positive learning outcomes. Specifically, it introduces the functionalities and applications of EdTech tools such as 1) Jamboard, 2) Allo, and 3) Padlet through actual lecture examples. The paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these EdTech tools by analyzing the positive changes observed in lectures following their implementation.
College Writing Classes for Liberal Arts : With a focus on writing that links literary works
Authors:   Liberal Arts Innovation Center, No Byeong Chun
Published: December 2024

This study was conducted to present direction for writing in university educational courses as a liberal arts subject. The direction that is presented is to allow people to newly understand the nature of liberal arts and next, to create classes that can induce introspection and healing, and to allow students self-awareness in life as autonomous individuals. In other words, university writing classes must be utilized as a time of learning and as a time that allows students to understand the correlation between a decent life and a humanistic spirit that shows the effect of the humanities on human living.
You can use poetry to teach writing lessons for reflection and healing. The class on reflective and healing writing using poetry can be divided into five stages. Stage 1 is the stage where students freely appreciate poetry and write notes, stage 2 is the stage where the instructor asks questions and each student writes his or her own answers, stage 3 is the stage where students present the content of stage 2, stage 4 is the stage where students organize their thoughts by synthesizing the presentation content and their own thoughts, and stage 5 is the final stage where students complete the writing by integrating stages 1 to 4. In order to proceed with writing using poetry in stages, five poems on the same topic were selected, and in the final writing, students wrote about a topic related to the presented poem.
If actual practice processes of writing are experienced using various topics through which introspection and healing can be achieved in actual university writing classes, then self-awareness of life as autonomous human beings can be achieved so that life is not one of slavery and mechanical living and the horizon of understanding with regard to one’s self and the world will expand and according to that, ‘self-discovery’ and the internal strength to foster one’s self will develop along with critical thinking skills and empathy, allowing for reform into a free and decent life.
A Literary Reading Education for Enhancing Self: Leadership in University Students : Focusing on 『Demian』 and 『Siddhartha』
Authors:   Liberal Arts Innovation Center, Seo Gi Ja
Published: December 2024

Today’s college students are required to set self-directed goals and execute them, making self-leadership an essential competency. This study explores the potential of literature reading education in fostering this capability. To this end, the concept of self-leadership is examined, exploring its importance and meaning for college students. Hermann Hesse’s『Demian』and『Siddhartha』 were analyzed to discuss how the narratives in these two works are connected to the self-leadership that students need to develop.
The protagonists in these two works by Hesse delve deeply into their inner worlds, discover their true selves, and proactively lead their lives. This journey can serve as a significant guide for students in cultivating selfmotivation and self-efficacy, ultimately growing into independent beings. Moreover, literature reading education goes beyond merely reading books or understanding content; it brings forth literature’s reflective value, applying it to life and providing opportunities to establish self-leadership through literary experiences.

The purpose of this study is to verify the mediating effect of career resilience in the relationship between planned coincidence skills and career preparation behavior of students in science and engineering collegesThrough this, the purpose of this study is to find a way to intervene in the planned accidental skills and career elasticity to improve the level of career preparation behavior of college students majoring in science and engineering. To this end, a questionnaire was conducted on 188 male and female students at three junior colleges located in D Metropolitan City, and the final 166 copies of data were verified using SPSS 27.0 and PROCESS Macro programs. The results of this study are as follows. First, as a result of checking the correlation between the planned accidental skills, career elasticity, and career preparation behavior of college students majoring in science and engineering, it was found that the planned accidental skills and career preparation behavior, the planned accidental skills and career elasticity, career elasticity, and career preparation behavior all had a positive correlation. Second, the planned accidental skills did not directly affect career preparation behavior. In other words, even if the level of planned accidental skills of college students majoring in science and engineering is high, it does not necessarily mean that the level of career preparation behavior is also high. Third, it was found that the planned accidental skill affects career preparation behavior through a mediating variable called career elasticity. For college students majoring in science and engineering, the higher the planned accidental skill, the higher the career elasticity, and the higher the career preparation behavior.This study is significant in that by verifying that career resilience of college students majoring in science and engineering is an important variable that affects career preparation behavior, the development and introduction of counseling and education programs that can improve career resilience can greatly contribute to improving the level of direct career preparation behavior.
