The article "Environmental Humanities in Latin America: from transdisciplinarity to undisciplined practices" explores the development of inter and transdisciplinary studies in the university context and the epistemological challenges that arise from the synergy between different scientific, humanistic, and artistic areas. The importance of undisciplined practices in environmental humanities in Latin America is highlighted, which share perspectives and a common praxeology. The article presents studies that explore education programs, museums, art collectives, and communities that are producing thought and theories about how to inhabit the environment through transversal practices. The importance of collaborative and co-creative research in transdisciplinary studies is emphasized, and examples of projects in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, and the National University of Tres de Febrero are mentioned. The article also mentions the journal "Humanidades" from the University of Montevideo, which addresses environmental humanities in Latin America. [Extracted from the article]

The present study aims to show the case of the first rural hackathon in Chile while describing the hackathon as a methodology that favors collaborative learning in real scenarios. Systematization of this process reveals how undergraduate and municipal school students work in collaboration to create innovative and sustainable solutions to challenges identified by the community. The results show that implementing the social hackathon methodology favors a more active and socially responsible education while including the community in the identification and solution of its own issues. In conclusion, the social hackathon is an active-participatory methodology that can be incorporated in university education, where the student is the center of her/his educational process, while enhancing the development of transversal competencies in the field of knowledge, know-how, and know-how to be.

The present work analyses the importance of word recognition and reading fluency in reading comprehension at an intermediate schooling stage using a transversal descriptive design with a correlational approach. The participants were 109 Chilean sixth grade students between the ages of 10 to 11 displaying a typical intellectual development. Measurements were taken for the reading of words and pseudowords, reading out loud, and the comprehension of written texts. The results account for significant correlation of the recognition of words and reading fluency and comprehension. Moreover, the regression analysis shows that the prosodic features of segmentation and intonation in reading out loud are the most contributing elements to reading comprehension in this group.

The objective of the study was the analysis of human talent management from the strategic approach in the mining sector of Venezuela, Colombia and Chile. A quantitative, descriptive, transversal, non-experimental design approach is employed. A nine-item questionnaire was applied to 55 managers, attached to each vice presidency of the companies Carbones del Guasare, S.A, Cerrejón and Winter carbon mine. The results showed highly significant differences being moderately optimum, highlighting the organizational strategy, followed by the features and current trend, with flaws in the functional model. The study shows that the mining sector in Venezuela, Colombia and Chile gives especial attention to the organizational strategy, determined by the indicator socialization of labor activities.
