Due to the digitalisation of communication-related productive sectors (journalism, advertising, audiovisual creation, corporate and strategic communications, etc.), having up-todate technological skills is crucial for joining and remaining in the labour market. In this study, the technological skills demanded from Journalism graduates in Spain by potential employers are analysed using a sample (n=433) of job postings aimed at such graduates on the specialist online platforms LinkedIn and Infojobs. The results show that the labour market available to Journalism graduates is broadly shared with graduates in other disciplines (especially Advertising and Public Relations, and Marketing). Only about 8% of the job postings analysed came from media outlets. Almost 70% were addressed to graduates in Journalism or other graduates in the field of communication and marketing, and only about 20% demanded functions connected with the production of journalistic information. Regarding the technological skills sought, about 60% of the job postings demanded knowledge of at least one specific technological tool, mainly for the tasks of graphic design, layout and image editing; data processing; web content design and management; text editing and presentations; web analytics; and social media. The results suggest that the variety of technological tools used in Journalism university programme teaching will need to be increased in order to facilitate graduate employability.

This article presents a prototype for informal learning about nearby singular architectures, under the concept of a "hands on" educational approach. The contents developed are based on a graphic substrate and are available on an open platform, which proposes inclusive and autonomous learning, offering the possibility of making different representations and products to get to know and learn about the places of reference. The aim of this prototype is to facilitate multiple approaches from the representation, for the realisation of activities with different levels of complexity and results, which allow different architectures to be shown and learnt with rigour and creativity. The hypothesis of this research project is that, through design, learning contents and resources can be generated, with different techniques and technologies, supports and ad hoc applications, freely accessible to users, which constitute instruments of experimentation for new forms of learning and accessibility that are versatile, economical and competitive. The project won the Urban and Social Innovation Award 2021 by the Valencia City Council in the Sustainable City category. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The impulse to national production constitutes a central axis in the development of the Cuban economy, urged to achieve food sovereignty in the face of the worsening economic situation in the country. For its development, food production requires a boost in financing, technologies and inputs, which result in an increase in agricultural yields. The "Rubén Martínez Villena" Production Company of Various Crops and Livestock is undertaking an investment project for the acquisition of agricultural machinery to ensure the "More Food" program. The general objective of the investigation is to evaluate economically and financially the referred investment. The abstract logic, economic statistics and constructive calculation methods were used with their main procedures. In the work, the economic-financial evaluation is carried out with a projection of ten years, allowing to reach conclusions that are useful for decision-making by the entity's management.

The Statistical Model of Impact Measurement (MEMI) was applied to evaluate the factors that determine the efficiency of milk production in farms of farmers from the cooperative and farmer sector, usufructuaries from Camilo Cienfuegos Genetic Livestock Enterprise, Consolación del Sur municipality, Pinar del Río, Cuba. The study covered 74 usufructuaries, associated with six productive forms or Credit and Service Cooperatives from Consolación del Sur municipality. The evaluated indicators were: information of farmers (9 variables), information of usufruct farms (17 variables), information of the economic area of each productive form to which they are associated (4 variables) and others generated (5 variables). The principal component analysis of the studied variables showed that the first five components explained 81.00 % of the total variability of the data. The first main component was related to herd and production; the second with efficiency indices in milk production, the third with infrastructure and the fourth grouped adopted technologies. While, the fifth, and last, was related to areas and yields. The results confirmed that the adopted technologies have a great influence on the productive performance and the efficiency achieved by the farm. The negative impacts show the need to reorient the work of managers and usufructuaries to undertake actions, in which training prevails accompanied by a strong movement of agricultural extension, which transfers existing technologies to the milk-producing sector. This would cause a favorable transformation in the productive yields that are currently being achieved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
