Group Cohesion and Application of Best Horticultural Farming Practices among Farmer Groups in Meru County, Kenya
Authors: Gikunda Rafael , Lawver David 
Published: November 2020

This study illuminates the power of farmer groups as avenues for mobilizing farmers around a common objective, thus adds to the knowledge base of extension education. A quantitative approach involving the use of a correlational research design was adopted to describe the association between group cohesion and application of BHFP. The target population was 1950 farmers from 35 farmer groups. Stratified random sampling was used to select a sample of 112 farmers from the population. Data were collected by use of a self-administered structured questionnaire developed by the researcher. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for data analysis, which involved both descriptive and inferential statistics. According to the results, most (70.5%) of thefarmers felt that the level of cohesion among members of their groups was very high. Pearson correlation test indicated that there was a weak negative significant correlation between group size and level of cohesion (r = -.27, N =112, p <.05) and a positive moderate significant correlation between group cohesion and application of BHFP (r =.39, N =112, p <.05). The level of application of BHFP was high with the majority of the farmers (75.9%) scoring between 71 and 75 out of 75 points. It was concluded that group cohesion is related to the application of BHFP. However, there is a need for the group managers to limit the group sizes to maintain a high level of cohesion, and sustain a conducive environment that triggers a team climate that supports the application of BHFP.

Cogestão, democratização e privatização de equipamentos públicos de educação infantil: conceitos em disputa
Authors: Domiciano Cassia Alessandra 
Published: November 2020

Este trabalho apresenta, discute e analisa o termo cogestão inscrito no decreto regulamentador do Programa de Atendimento Especial à Educação Infantil (PAEEI), implementado em Campinas-SP, em 2007. Por meio da análise do texto da lei, dos documentos que o normatiza no período de 2007 a 2014, e do levantamento bibliográfico, comparamos as características “administrativas” deste Programa buscando explicitar que a apropriação do vocábulo por parte dos legisladores não condiz com a construção social e histórica do conceito de cogestão. Apuramos que o Programa em curso corresponde a um processo de privatização explícito, pois transfere a gestão de equipamentos de educação infantil públicos ao setor privado com subsídio governamental, materializando a lógica gerencialista defendida pelos setores hegemônicos que tem como fim a “flexibilização” da gestão pública e a transformação da educação em mercadoria.

Política cultural institucional como medio de transformación. La experiencia en la Comunidad Foral de Navarra = Institutional Cultural Politics as a Means of transformation. An experience in the Comunidad Foral de Navarra
Authors: Martín Larumbe Celia , Peña León Roberto 
Published: November 2020

El actual contexto de cambio social está afectando al sector de la Cultura y, de manera específica, al sistema del arte. Dentro del mismo, la institución «museo» se ha visto afectada de una manera especial por este escenario de transformación. Los debates en el sector (ICOM, OME) permiten introducir propuestas diversas para abordar este escenario. Aparecen así nuevos planteamientos y líneas de abordaje, presentándose la perspectiva de género como la más potente y adecuada para ello. En este artículo se presentan el conjunto de acciones llevadas a cabo en la Comunidad Foral de Navarra desde el aparato institucional en los últimos años, amparados por una legislación diseñada en este sentido y que ya ha empezado a dar resultados, abriendo caminos que prometen ser muy interesantes: reflexión autocrítica, remodelación de la exposición permanente, exposiciones temporales de nuevo cuño, visitas guiadas, etc. La actual situación requiere sistematizar estos medios y procedimientos y mantener la dirección usando las sinergias generadas y apoyándose en las reflexiones ya elaboradas con éxito.AbstractThe current context of social change is affecting the world of Culture, and specifically the Art system. Within this area the «museum» as an institution has been deeply affected by this transformation scenario. The discussions in this sector (ICOM, OME) allow us to introduce diverse suggestions to deal with this issue. This is how new proposals and approaches have appeared, being the gender perspective the most powerful and accurate tool to achieve that. In this article we present a number of actions carried out in the CFN by the local Administration in the last few years, supported by some laws designed in this direction; actions that have already yielded good results, opening up new paths that can be very interesting: self-criticism reflection, reorganization of the permanent exhibition, temporary exhibitions with a new perspective, guided visits, etc. The present situation demands to structure these tools and procedures, in order to maintain this course of action, using the generated synergies and relying on the successful reflections already accomplished.
El peligro de ablandarse. Igualdad, hermandad, solidaridad = The Perils of Tenderice. Equality Sisterhood Solidarity
Authors: Durán Gloria G. 
Published: November 2020

Ante esta cuestión: ¿Cómo cambiar los marcos, los relatos, las estructuras del museo actual, para que podamos identificarnos con él, para reconocernos en sus imágenes y en sus narraciones? planteo referencias que tramadas podrían atisbar el principio de un nuevo debate. El título se va desgranando a lo largo del artículo. Para «El peligro de ablandarse» trabajo con el legado de las salonnières y la obra de Benedetta Craveri y Roger Chartier. Para «Hermandad», me apoyo en Carla Hesse y su descubrimiento de la historiadora dieciochesca francesa Louise-Félicité Guynement de Kéralio-Robert (1758-1822). En el tercer apartado, «Igualdad», trabajo desde los variados acercamientos al feminismo en los años 70, reviso a Linda Nochlin y reivindico a Mierle Laderman Ukeles. Y finalmente «Solidaridad», me apoyo en Angela Davis y su redescubrimiento de las blues ladies, así como en mi propio trabajo en el que reivindico la importancia para la historia del feminismo español de las cupletistas. AbstractFaced with this question: How to change the frameworks, the stories, the structures of the current museum, to identify them with it, to recognize us in its images and in its narrations?

For «Sisterhood» , I rely on Carla Hesse and her discovery of the French eighteenth-century historian Louise-Félicité Guynement de Kéralio-Robert (1758-1822). In the third section, «Equality», I work from the various approaches to feminism in the 70s, I review Linda Nochlin and I claim Mierle Laderman Ukeles. And finally «Solidaridad», I rely on Angela Davis and her rediscovery of the blues ladies, as well as my own work in which I claim the importance for the history of Spanish feminism of the cupletistas.

Published: November 2020

Aquest article és una lectura conjunta i complementària dels poemes I, II i III de Pere March. S’hi ha observat un programa ascètic basat en la virtut de la fortalesa i en les virtuts que li són annexes: magnanimitat, magniicència, paciència i perseverança. Aquestes virtuts són presentades amb exempla que il·lustren els vicis que se’ls oposen i que, sempre que ha estat possible, s’han relacionat amb el Communiloquium o Summa de Col·lacions de Joan de Gal·les, llibre present a la biblioteca del poeta.This paper is a joint and complementary reading of poems I, II and III by Pere March. An ascetic program has been observed based on the virtue of fortitude and its annexed virtues: magnanimity, magniicence, patience and perseverance. These virtues are presented, by contrast, with exampla that illustrates the vices that oppose them and that, whenever possible, have been related to the Communiloquium or Summa of Collations of John of Wales book present in the poet’s library.

Authors: Agirresarobe Amaia 
Published: November 2020

Este trabajo analiza la forma y el contenido de Bidean Ikasia (Arantxa Urretabizkaia 2016) o, mejor dicho, sus modos de articulación. Las preguntas que guían el análisis se podrían expresar de la siguiente manera: ¿cómo se articulan la forma y el fondo en Bidean Ikasia? En otras palabras: ¿cómo impacta la forma en el retrato que se transmite sobre la lucha por la paridad en el Alarde? El trabajo presta especial atención a los siguientes rasgos formales: la utilización y combinación de diferentes géneros literarios; el tiempo; la perspectiva narrativa y el papel cambiante de la voz narrativa. Así, el estudio es un intento de encontrar las pautas, es decir, las normas frente a las desviaciones en el uso de los mecanismos narrativos de un libro que la autora ha deinido como un «artefacto» This work analyzes the form and content of Bidean Ikasia (Arantxa Urretabizkaia 2016) or, rather, its modes of articulation.

Published: November 2020

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un estudio destinado a conocer las opiniones de los administradores de las listas de distribución de correo electrónico gestionadas por RedIRIS. El estudio ha tenido tres objetivos: conocer el nivel de satisfacción que tiene cada administrador con diferentes medios electrónicos para recibir información en su trabajo diario, y especialmente con las listas de distribución; conocer la evolución de sus listas respecto al número de mensajes y suscriptores; conocer el nivel de acuerdo o desacuerdo sobre las listas de distribución como medio de compartición del conocimiento y de canal para el aprendizaje. Los administradores encuestados valoran las listas como la mejor aplicación como método para compartir y difundir información entre profesionales y académicos. Aunque no todas las listas gozan de la misma fortaleza, siguen siendo utilizadas por los usuarios. Y sirve de herramienta para la gestión del conocimiento, y de utilidad para la formación y el aprendizaje.
This paper presents the results of a study aimed at learning the opinions of the administrators of email distribution lists managed by RedIRIS. The study had three objectives: to determine each administrator's level of satisfaction with the different electronic media they themselves use to get information for their daily work, especially with distribution lists; to determine how their lists have evolved in regard to the number of messages and subscribers; and to determine their level of agreement or disagreement with distribution lists being a means of knowledge sharing and a channel for learning. The surveyed administrators value the lists as the best application for sharing and disseminating information among professionals and academics. Although not all lists enjoy the same strength, they are still being used. And they serve as a tool for knowledge management, and are useful for training and learning.

Published: November 2020

Integration of heterogeneous data sources in a single representation is an active field with many different tools and techniques. In the case of text-based approaches—those that base the definition of the mappings and the integration on a DSL—there is a lack of usability studies. In this work we have conducted a usability experiment (n = 17) on three different languages: ShExML (our own language), YARRRML and SPARQL-Generate. Results show that ShExML users tend to perform better than those of YARRRML and SPARQL-Generate. This study sheds light on usability aspects of these languages design and remarks some aspects of improvement.

Authors: Sunandini G. P. , Suhasini K. , Devi I. Shakuntala 
Published: November 2020

In the present paper an attempt has been made to examine the role of women in Andhra Pradesh Agriculture especially in natural resource management. The study focused on studying participation of women in crop management, wage discrimination, ownership, access to economic resources and economic decision making and natural resources management at micro level and macro level. The study revealed that about 22% of cost of cultivation and 56% of the labour cost is incurred towards female labour accounting to Rs 3424 out of cost of cultivation Rs. 19725/ha in case of paddy cultivation. The economic value of women’s participation was accounting to be Rs. 2558 of the total cost of cultivation (Rs. 13567/- per ha) of sorghum. There was a glaring difference in wage rates revealing discrimination between men and women wage rates. The year to year (y-t-y) wage difference was only 12.73 during 2000-01 a decade ago, later grew to 35.13 during 2010-11. The lower wage rates to women were because female labour is available in plenty than male labour. Policy initiatives such as identify women as a key player in NRM both at micro and macro level, when the Govt. distributes surplus land, it has to consider the possibility of transferring the ownership of land to women encourage leasing out fallow land for cultivation of food crops through women SHGs, train the tribal women on how to make use of NFTP and other MFP without disturbing forest cover.

Authors: Ahsan Mohammad 
Published: November 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the economy and other business sectors including the impact felt by BUMN. Research on the influence of internal and external factors of BUMN on BUMN stock prices was carried out using secondary data and observations on 12 BUMNs consisting of the steel and cement, construction, mining and food and health sectors. According to the data, the BUMN share price experienced a decline during the Covid-19 pandemic where the most affected were BUMN in the construction sector (-128%), mining (-74%), steel and cement (-60%) and the food and health sector (-15%). This study explores internal and external factors in BUMN that have the potential to influence stock prices by analyzing the quantity using linear regression equations with the help of the SPSS statistical application. Several internal and external factors in SOEs that affect BUMN stock prices are current ratio (CR), return on assets (ROA), debt to equity ratio (DER), foreign exchange rates, inflation, economic growth and and the Covid-19 pandemic. The results show that there is an influence of internal and external factors of BUMN on BUMN stock prices and the most dominant factor affecting stock prices is the foreign exchange rate of 34.36%, economic growth of 32.11% and the Covid-19 pandemic of 1.84%. Meanwhile, the internal factors that have influence are ROA of 0.25% and DER of 0.15.
Numerical Analysis of Heat Transfer of Eyring Powell Fluid Using Double Stratification of Magneto-Hydrodynamic Boundary Layer Flow
Authors: Simon Wekesa Waswa , Mutuku Winifred Nduku 
Published: November 2020

Heat transfer fluids play a vital role in many engineering and industrial sectors such as power generation, chemical production, air-conditioning, transportation and microelectronics.
Aim: To numerically investigate the effect of double stratification on magneto-hydrodynamic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an Eyring-Powell fluid.
Study Design: Eyring-Powell fluid is one of the non-Newtonian fluid that possess different characteristics thus different mathematical models have been formulated to describe such fluids by appropriate substitution into Navier-Stoke’s equations. The challenging complexity and the nature of the resultant equations are of great interest hence attract many investigations.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Mathematics and Actuarial Science, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya between December 2019 and October 2020.
Methodology: The resultant nonlinear equations are transformed to linear differential equations by introducing appropriate similarity transformations. The resulting equations are solved numerically by simulating the predictor-corrector (P-C) method in matlab ode113. The results are graphically depicted and analysed to illustrate the effects of magnetic field, thermophoresis, thermal stratification, solutal stratification, material fluid parameters and Grashoff number on the fluid velocity, temperature, concentration, local Sherwood number and local Nusselt number.
Results: The results show that increasing the magnetic field strength, thermophoresis, thermal stratification and solutal stratification lead to a decrease in the fluid velocity, temperature, Sherwood number, Nusselt number and skin friction while an increase in the magnetic field strength, thermal stratification, solutal stratification, and thermophoresis increases the fluid concentration.
Conclusion: The parameters in this study can be varied to enhance heat ejection of Eyring-Powell fluid and applied in industries as a coolant or heat transfer fluid.
