The article analyzes the policies and strategies of Corporate Social Responsibility of the company San Gabán in Puno, Peru. According to the perception of local actors, the company's social responsibility policies do not effectively correspond to the implementation of its strategies and social programs. These policies are sporadic, focused, and have limited coverage. Additionally, a lack of actions in strengthening environmental awareness is observed. The challenge for the company is to improve transparency and accountability in order to achieve a greater commitment to social and environmental development. [Extracted from the article]

This presidential address focuses on how community intertwines with geography. On one hand, geography is the discipline that studies the community as it exists in place. Geography itself is a community—an intellectual, social, and cultural community—that must be supported and expanded. Geography's strength has been in upholding this community. Today, the discipline of geography suffers from some real challenges. The number of majors has recently declined, and more programs have closed than have opened in recent years. Improving our geographic community can be accomplished through four efforts. First, we need to improve our institutional diversity. Second, we must increase our workforce diversity. Third, we need to attend to expanding our discipline to first-generation students. Finally, we must harness the growth of Advanced Placement Human Geography to improve the status of geography in higher education. These and other efforts will go a long way in expanding the community of geography and in reinvigorating geography as a discipline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aims to analyze the implementation of the Brazilian Craftsmanship Program - PAB in Alagoas, through the Alagoas Made by Hand Program, from 2015 to 2022. Specifically, it aims to identify the adherence of the actions of the Alagoas Made by Hand Program to the objectives set out in the PAB, identify the perception of artisans about the performance of the PAB and the Alagoas Made by Hand Program and analyze the budgetary and financial executions referring to the Alagoas Made by Hand Program. In terms of research classification, it is bibliographic, documental, qualitative, explanatory and descriptive, with the use of interviews and as method the case study. The results highlight that the implementation of the PAB in Alagoas does not contemplate all the program's spheres, does not publish all its actions and budget execution in a regular way and in a language accessible to society, and does not account for the high amounts passed on to foster Alagoas' handcrafts. We conclude that the implementation of the PAB in Alagoas has not been well conducted, with few points of convergence with the goals of the national program, besides the lack of transparency and publicity of the reports of actions and budgetary and financial execution of the local program to the citizens.

The real estate boom in Argentina in 2003 used housing as a financial asset (investment, capital protection) without financing for the middle and lower-middle class. Only in 2011, the State begins to respond with various programs and/or credits. The objective is to analyze the instruments of public financing (national and provincial) and the data of the applications, for access to land and housing, taking Rosario as a case study, a city with the largest amount of built surface per inhabitant and 3rd in housing deficit. The methodology is based on content analysis of written documents and observation techniques on images. So far, five programs have been approved and four executed, adding a total of 38 218 requests. It is concluded that the location did not contribute to consolidate the urban fabric, consummating the right to housing, but postponing the right to the city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose. Analyze the state of economic development of the municipality of Cunduacán in order to generate alternative opportunities for young people. Methodology. A cross-sectional methodology with secondary data was used. Finding. The results show that, although the municipality has a high HDI, it faces unemployment, so the implementation of the PILARES programs and the strategies to promote social entrepreneurship for young people are some alternatives to promote development in Cunduacán. This research contributes to the theoretical framework on municipal development. Conclusions. The foregoing allows us to recommend that coordination between the government, society, companies, and the university is needed to address the difficulties encountered by the inhabitants of the municipality such as poverty, investment in infrastructure, the inclusion of women in the workplace, and job creation. The latter will allow access to more job opportunities such as Content Marketing and Social Networks, Artificial Intelligence, 3D Printing, Virtual Reality, Big Data, Devices through the Voice, Robotization, automation and digital transformation of companies, Electronic Commerce, and Digital Leisure.

Introduction The homeless population (PSR) is characterized by being a heterogeneous group without a permanent home that spends the night in public places or temporary shelters. In the last decades, this population has been increasing gradually, making it urgent to create public policies aimed at this segment. In this sense, the theoricalmethodological guidelines used in scientific productions about PSR are questioned.; Goals; This article aims to analyze the existing scientific production about programs and projects developed with the homeless population. Methods Based on a systematic literature review carried out in the Scientifict Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Virtual Health Library (BVS) and Latin American and Caribbeand Health Sciences (LIilacs) databases, using of booleand descriptors and operators: homeless population AND project. Results Based on the analysis of the 10 selected articles, the results were organized and presented in three categories: social assistance, helath care and public policy management. Conclusions. Thus, there was a tendency to emphasize the need for welfare policies and health care for this population, including trans people and pregnant women. Intersectoriality was, markedly, the strategy indicated as a necessary political guideline for the planning of programs and projects aimed at PSR. The results of this study indicate, therefore, the need to increase scientific production about this population, as well as the creation of intersectoral public policies that go beyond welfare actions, aiming to promote the health and quality of life of these citizes.

The objective of this review article was to address the different advances in gender equality practices in organizations in three Latin American countries. It highlights the value of gender equality programs or initiatives that position the commitment of organizations to human rights, decent work and social justice. However, there are challenges within organizational culture in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of those programs. This article emphasizes the importance of making a multidimensional understanding and anchoring between individual processes, organizational practices and organizational culture in order to eliminate discriminatory norms and exclusion practices generated by the various biases and gender stereotypes that are reproduced within organizations on issues such as work-family reconciliation, exercise of leadership, workload, remuneration and lack of knowledge about gender.

The elderly are part of a society defined by technology acceleration, communication and information. These transformations happen at a rapid pace, making a big impact in the life of senior citizens. Our premise is to consider older people as active subjects in full exercise of their rights, to whom digital inclusion is also a part of social inclusion. The objective of this paper is, on the one hand, to carry out a content analysis of the policies implemented in Argentina regarding digital inclusion, including: level of coverage and survey of possible existing gaps. On the other hand, data from a national survey on access to resources and use of information and communication technologies by the elderly are analyzed. The conclusions show that there are significant gaps in both access to resources and frequency of use. Regarding national public policies on the subject, we observed that the pandemic showed that there was no strategic plan for the achievement of a policy of inclusion of the elderly in the new technologies.

A review of software applications for managing digital repositories is presented. Information managers have at their disposal several alternatives beyond those that have achieved greater popularity in the area of academic repositories: DSpace and EPrints. Existing alternatives have evolved and implemented mayor improvements in their more recent versions, with the aim of adopting the latest standards for the semantic web and linked data. This paper provides a description of the new features incorporated into the latest versions of the most popular open-source products. The selection has been made using as a reference the information offered by the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), Digital Curation Center (DCC), National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA), and Open Preservation Foundation. The conclusions of the study indicate that the combined use of different tools is needed to support a complete archive and digital preservation program, as no single application seems to be able to provide the features required for an effective strategy.

Attitudes have been a commonly used psychological measure of program effectiveness in conservation social science research. The major limitation of this approach is that attitudes do not always translate into behavior and therefore may not provide an accurate assessment of program success. Given that achieving conservation goals generally relies on understanding and changing human behavior, we argue for the need to assess behavior rather than attitudes as an indicator of conservation outcomes. Psychological theory shows that attitudes and behavior are distinct, but related, concepts. Measuring conservation behaviors involves identifying the target behavior or behaviors and the optimal time to measure and then selecting the most appropriate method of measurement (i.e., direct observation, objective indicators, self‐reported behavior, and behavioral intentions) that considers the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. We call for conservation programs to focus on influencing behavior rather than attitudes alone and encourage conservation practitioners and researchers to collect high‐quality behavioral data to more effectively inform policy and programs. Article impact statement: Encouraging researchers and practitioners to collect behavioral data and promote behavior change improves policy and program outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The instruction of learning strategies seems to make it possible to improve the performance and learning of students. Their ignorance or non-use could be cause for school failure. Several investigations indicate the relevance of the instruction of learning strategies in the classrooms, although today little time is still devoted to teaching students how to learn. Therefore, the objective of this research was to review studies that contemplate the evaluation of teaching strategies for learning strategies in the Spanish context. The results showed the scarcity of evaluative studies carried out, with little representative samples, destined, in their majority, to students of Compulsory Secondary Education. However, all of them offered data related to effectiveness after implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The programs of the Health Sciences aim to guarantee the integral preparation of the student to solve the most general and frequent problems that arise in the exercise of his profession. The teaching of Physics to biomedical specialties, health technology and average nursing technician is little accepted by students. They reject the pragmatic way of receiving content by teachers. In addition, they have few learning resources that limit the variety of teaching methods and means in their impartation. Objective: to evaluate the level of acceptance of the subject and the importance that students give to the contents of Physics in their professional performance, using active teaching methods. Design: three-stage research, 1st-3rd, descriptive, prospective-section (identify the level of acceptance of the subject by students), 2nd: intervention, teaching of physics using holistic methods, interdisciplinary with basic-clinical subjects. Period, three academic courses 2016-2019. Results: 17.8% of the students accepted the subject and knew the importance and practical applicability of the contents in their profession. At the end of each course, the clinical bioanalysis students (100%) were the ones who showed the greatest interest in the subject "fluids" (98.2%). Conclusion: The new teaching methods achieved a turnaround of interest in the subject in an exponentially way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the evolution of the Architecture degree program at the University of the Bío-Bío (UBB) from its creation to the present, through the eight plans of study that have marked the training of the di! erent cohorts that have graduated from this school. The methodology involved the exploration of the existing documentation in archives, from the founding ideology up until today. The agreements that defined the graduate profile and that identify the architects trained at UBB, and the creation of the plans of study and the curriculum diagrams were also examined. The career paths of some of the teachers who brought to life these teaching processes in the classroom were analyzed in accordance with the national and local events of that time. Precisely when this school celebrates 50 years of training professional architects of great national prestige, this tour of its pedagogical models rea" rms its well-deserved third place ranking in architectural degrees in the country and revalidates its international accreditation by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) since 1991.
