Izaguirre, Inés
- Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the repressive strategy as it was described in the military doctrine that guided the actions of the armed forces, security forces and paramilitary organizations in El Salvador between 1962 and 1972. Attention will be given to the way this repressive strategy molded the state repressive treatment of the wave of trade union protest that took place in the same period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The changes that occurred on digitization have produced profound variations in the world of work in general, and academic one in particular. Considering the transformations in terms of production, use and appropriation of knowledge, mainly taking this situation as a kind of social relationship described as "cognitive exploitation of scientific knowledge". From this characterization, I shall discuss in this paper the impact over the work of the social scientist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this research, we develop a case study, focused on Spain and the European Union, on the controversy over the labelling of transgenic foods. This paper fi rstly compares the social discourses that conceive labelling essentially as being a problem or a solution. Secondly, an analysis is provided of the main legislative responses, together with the specifi c issues that remain controversial in this fi eld. Thirdly, the limits of the cognitive defi cit model and the problem of establishing what information is relevant or irrelevant are discussed. The research concludes by showing the presence of the rhetorics of safety and risk, and proposes an outline of social positions around the consumption of transgenic foods, their differential labelling, and the endeavour of science in our societies.

Science, technology and innovation are fundamental to economic and social development of the country, requiring, each time more, to give significant resources in order to prepare the personnel and make them more competitive, where the information exchange, knowledge and learning generated by this process, will contribute to achieve a better performance in the organization. The purpose of this paper is the development of a organizational learning model and its phases, based on information and knowledge of scientific and innovation project team members, which will allow to evaluate the capacity of organizational learning and also contribute to a better organization performance. In this model is highlighted the integration of the main trends in the study of organizational learning, providing technical tools to develop learning ability and performance evaluation of the organization from indicators.

6. LA EDUCACIÓN INTERCULTURAL EN EL ÁREA DE LAS CIENCIAS.

Rojas Gamarra, Milton and Erazo, Maria Soledad
- Abstract
In this article we will see that depending on the context and diversity, discovering and teaching in science, should have an Intercultural look. The final objective of the so-called exact sciences, practically mostly, you could say it's the same. This objective would be to know and understand the secrets it holds the universe. But how do we discover? and how do we learn the knowledge that are already found?, we propose that this path should be intercultural. In this paper, first we will try to adopt and / or assume a definition for the words of Knowledge, Education, Science and Interculturality; because they are words that have much theoretical debate, and if we do not assume some definition for them, we will not reach to any goal. Then we will prove that interculturality must be present at the time of doing science and teaching it, for which purpose, we will find support primarily with studies of neuroscience, then, with the meaningful learning theory of Ausubel, with Piaget that gives importance to the prior knowledge of the learner, by Watson, Vygotsky, etc. Even we give an ancient example, in which this knowledge has already been used with good results; we talk about education in times of the Incas. This is a clear example that interculturality should be applied to teaching and conducting science. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ECONOMICS , *SOCIOLOGY , *THEORY of knowledge - Abstract
With the appearance, in recent decades, of so-called knowledge-based economies, there have been various explanatory proposals or theoretical frameworks for understanding them. In this paper we aim to ponder, within a humanistic outlook, various concepts introduced by thinkers like Dominique Foray, from economic theory, Javier Echeverría, from philosophy of science, Manuel Castells, from sociology, and Edgar Morin, from the perspective of complex thinking. Situating human at the center of the equation, we want to approach the problem of knowledge and their meanings. To that end, this essay begins with a consideration on different conceptions of knowledge and the role that it has taken in the new society, continues with an analysis of the relations between the new economy and the idea of integral human development, and ends by outlining the application of the principles of Morin's complex thought as a proposal to articulate different perspectives on knowledge and the global society to which we belong.

This paper examines Robert Kilwardby's (ca. 1215-1279) treatment of causal necessity and contingency. In his Commentary on Aristotle's Posterior Analytics and in his De ortu scientiarum, Kilwardby seems to be particularly concerned with the precarious epistemological status of ethics and physics insofar as these disciplines deal with contingent events. In order to reconcile strictly scientific knowledge with conjectural forms of knowledge, Kilwardby sets the problem of contingency in a genuinely gnoseological rather than metaphysical context, arriving at a highly original account of contingency.

METAPHYSICS , *IDEA (Philosophy) , *PHILOSOPHY & science - Abstract
In the treatise On Ideas (Peri ideōn) Aristotle critically discusses five platonic arguments in favour of the existence of Ideas. In Metaphysics A, 9 the same author indicates that three of these arguments are less accurate than the other two. The usual interpretation of the Peri ideōn holds that this is due to the fact that they are not valid to establish Ideas. Against this claim, in this paper I propose a new interpretation about the first group of "less accurate" arguments, the arguments from the sciences. According to my proposal these are, jointly, valid to conclude the existence of Ideas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is designed to serve as an introduction and historical background to ethnomathematics as a program of study. The authors wants to show that ethnomathematics includes the mathematical ideas, perspectives and practices of individuals in different cultures as manifested and transmitted in diverse modes. Any study of the history of ethnomathematics and its proponents helps us to clarify the importance of this perspective in terms of mathematics education. The development of ethnomathematics is documented here, principally as a part of the study of the development of scientific and mathematical ideas and practices made by distinct cultural groups.

PLURALISM , *PHILOSOPHY , *POSITIVISM , *THEORY of knowledge , *SCIENCE - Abstract
In this paper I will try to offer a synthesis between two conflicting epistemological positions on the recent philosophical scene: positivism, whose heritage survives as the belief that science is the most genuine form of knowledge, and the defenders of incommensurability. Overcoming the controversy implies rejecting both the classical conception of knowledge (knowledge as theoria) --which, in fact, both positions presuppose-- and the hierarchical view of knowing in favour of a systemic view permitting epistemological pluralism.
