The objective of this study was to develop a benchmark method to identify best practices in higher education across the country, in relation with management practices of academic productivity gender gaps and their impact on family responsibilities. This paper uses a qualitative approach to collect relevant information from official web pages from sixteen international universities previously selected. All information related to best practices policies implemented in each university was charted and assigned to one of the following categories for further analysis: ranking, gender policies, gender gaps, academic productivity, and childcare responsibilities. Results from this study revealed that the main best practices implemented in the included universities were practices related to harassment prevention, gender equality at college admission, development of protocols, leadership training, scholarships for study and research programs, adequate infrastructure, childcare financial support, flexible work schedules, family leave policies, improvement of the work environment and the development of departments in charge of follow-up and regular assessment of the proposed strategies.

The paper focuses on a high-priority subject nationwide: the growing need for training in radiation protection for occupationally exposed workers and the strength of having specialized web portals on this matter. The Specialized Web Portal, EDUCPRA "Cuba's Portal for Education and Training in Radiological Protection", has been developed in this context, which makes available to its users, in an easy and integrated way, access to contents, regulations, national and international standards, directories, applications and services related to the matter that allow the identification, dissemination, and promotion of the training capacities in radiation protection. The main objective of EDUCPRA is to become the technological support of the National Strategy for Education and Training in Radiological Protection. EDUCPRA allows supervising the operation of the education and training activity in Radiological Protection in Cuba, and contributing to the processes of identification of needs, certification of personnel, and competence recognition of radiation protection courses. Through EDUCPRA, the available capacities to the country can be promoted to be able to comply with the training requirements established in the national regulatory framework, and the number of personnel trained by practice and occupational category can be known, allowing the evaluation of the effectiveness of the national training program. EDUCPRÁ will give visibility to the performance indicators of the training in Radiological protection in the country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nowadays, cities are competing to become the global community’s choice in investment, trade, tourism, and partnerships. In this context, the redefinition of their communication strategy, especially at the digital level, has become an urgent challenge. On the other side, COVID-19 has directly impacted all facets of life and, particularly in the world of travel and tourism, has transformed into a communication crisis for cities. On this basis, this paper, using a methodology already proven on websites of different thematic areas, presents a descriptive, explanatory, and exploratory research on the websites of the 26 most visited cities in the world. Conceiving websites as the nerve center of cities communication strategy, the study has applied an analysis tool based on six variables (usability, interactivity, information offered, content typology and updating, social networks and transmedia content, and accessibility) and organized around 75 thematic categories. This made it possible to deepen among other topics, on how the city is shown through its digital channels, what and how it tells the story, and, very relevantly, how cities have tackled COVID-19 related information on their websites. The research highlights, among other aspects, a trend towards the mediatization of processes following routines typical of cybermedia, warning of the need to increase the role of websites as informative spaces on COVID-19.

This paper proposes an alternative methodology to optimally design an electrical distribution system in a real urban area. A medium voltage (MV) network polygon is extracted from the web page of a distribution company (GIS platform), which serves as a comparison pattern. A redesign of the medium voltage network is made to the extracted polygon. Taking as a premise that it is a new urbanization that needs to be provided with electric power, with all the technical requirements imposed by the regulating entity, good power quality and at minimum cost. To achieve this goal, two mathematical optimization models are used. The methodology begins by delimiting the project area in a geo-referenced manner; in this area 36 possible sites are located where the distribution transformers that will provide electricity to the new urbanization can be placed. The first optimization model determines how many transformers will be installed, by means of a minimization objective function, the constraints of the model are: transformer capacity (KVA) and coverage (number of subscribers connected to the low voltage network of each transformer). Once the number of transformers to be installed and their respective geo-referenced optimal locations are determined, the model is run. The second heuristic optimization model, based on graph theory, calculates the mine spanning tree for the connection of the medium voltage electrical network, thus interconnecting the transformers of the project with the minimum distance, thus optimizing the construction cost. These optimization models are implemented and solved with Matlab and LpSolve software. The topology found with the two proposed models is electrically evaluated by running power flows with CYMEDIST software. Finally, the proposed model is evaluated by comparing the electrical parameters obtained with the electrical parameters of the polygon extracted from the GIS system of the distribution company.

There is an increasing interest and growing practice in Citizen Science (CS) that goes along with the usage of websites for communication as well as for capturing and processing data and materials. From an educational perspective, it is expected that by integrating information about CS in a formal educational setting, it will inspire teachers to create learning activities. This is an interesting case for using bots to automate the process of data extraction from online CS platforms to better understand its use in educational contexts. Although this information is publicly available, it has to follow GDPR rules. This paper aims to explain (1) how CS communicates and is promoted on websites, (2) how web scraping methods and anonymization techniques have been designed, developed and applied to collect information from online sources and (3) how these data could be used for educational purposes. After the analysis of 72 websites, some of the results obtained show that only 24.8% includes detailed information about the CS project and 48.61% includes information about educational purposes or materials.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the fiscal incentives and public financing destined to the promotion of Workers' Cooperatives in Mexico, as well as the participation of cooperatives in activities that may represent transgressions to the fiscal and labor laws of our country. The results show that the economic crisis of the 1980s forced a change in the economic model and cooperatives were relegated from public policies. The relationship with the State fractured again in 2013 when cooperative companies were accused of fraudulent operations to avoid paying federal taxes, as a consequence, special taxation regimes were eliminated and public financing was reduced. However, the information published by the country's administrative authorities does not provide evidence to ensure that in the last 11 years the cooperative organizations have constituted a risk factor for federal public finances and the labor stability of workers. This research applies a mixed method, which means the combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods and techniques. In the first case, the hypothetical-deductive method is used, and in the second, grounded theory and hermeneutic triangulation. The data come from the tax agency's web page and direct consultation with the institute responsible for providing public information to citizens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to study how the students of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) valued the reliability of the information contained in the Internet to carry out a task in a science class. To do this, 156 students from this educational stage, from 3rd and 4th of ESO, from four institutes in the municipality of Murcia took part in the study. We set them a task: they had to answer some questions about "acid rain" and they could use two web pages that the participants could independently select. Once the activity has been carried out, we ask them some questions about the pages used, the credibility of the content found and the reasons or criteria used to grant it such reliability. In addition, we study the dependence of the reliability with some social variables (age, gender, center) and the relationship between the reliability granted and the efficiency in the search for information. e results show contributions to better understand digital competence developed by the particpants.

Biomass for energy generation is an attractive alternative to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and their environmental impact. Thus, the geographical location of the production and consumption sites, logistics, as well as the planning of the supply chain are crucial factors for the assessment and implementation of bioenergy projects. Although several studies have addressed these problems separately, there are few papers that integrate all these aspects. This study focuses on the integration of geographic information systems, transport modelling, and transportation costs optimization through the use of a web platform to determine biomass production and consumption sites for energy purposes. Through a case study and the analysis of different supply and demand scenarios, the operation of the optimization module is evaluated. The results allow optimally estimating the distribution of biomass from different supply centers (storage nodes), towards different users (demand nodes), taking the cost of transport as an objective function. The optimal distribution of biomass allows planning its use for different regions of interest at the national level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article reviews the main projects supported by Conacyt during the government of Luis Echeverria Álvarez (1970-196), both with its own resources and with those of international cooperation. On the other hand, it also reviews the scientific articles published during the same period that were considered relevant in the indexes of the site Web of Science. Today, those indexes are taken into account as a relevant indicator of scientific work in Mexico. Finally the information about the projects and the articles are crossed to test the hypothesis of our research: the institutionalization process of the science system in Mexico started in 1970 allowed us to organize, support and promote scientific research in the country. allowing the rise of relevant papers published. The objective is to show the impact that the new institution had on the dynamics of scientific work at national and international level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Museum texts play a critical role in the discourse that accompanies any given artifact, exhibition or museum. In the case of museum text translation, some relevant contributions have appeared in recent years; however, some scholars suggest that this is a field of study that still needs to be further developed. This paper focuses on several aspects of museum text translation based on a descriptive analysis of records found on websites from 26 museums in New York City. By analyzing the corpus, which has been essentially compiled in two periods (2016 and 2020), we notice a word increase of 40% within this four-year period. As for the types of texts that are more frequent in the corpus, educational resources are at the top of the list, followed by press releases and texts informing about parallel activities. There is also a tendency for translating texts related to temporary exhibitions, as compared to texts on the museums' collections, which are scarce in the corpus. Lastly, in the light of the generalized museum closure in mid-March 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak, it is noticed that just a few of the museums' websites inform visitors of the closure by using the Spanish language.
