This document focuses on urban dispersion and accessibility in the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico and its influence on the university student population. This is achieved through the analysis of three groups of data: mobility surveys of the student community, school performance monitoring data provided by the University, and data from Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) on the location of main transportation in the city. The research provides results on the geographical dispersion of students, their dependence on the public transportation system, and how this situation is related to accessibility and academic performance, particularly in the case of students with greater lag. Finally, the importance of implementing these studies in businesses and schools that will contribute to the development of transportation and urban planning policies that reduce social disparities and improve mobility in the urban environment is highlighted.

People with disabilities face daily barriers arising from the physical, material, or social environment in which they live. In order to make such an environment fully inclusive, accessibility must be guaranteed, the necessary adaptations must be made, and the abilities of each individual must be recognised. This article shows the results of a research carried out with the aim of checking whether libraries are responding to the needs of users with disabilities. It analyses the scientific production in this field over the last fifty years related to accessibility and inclusion initiatives aimed at guaranteeing access to information for people with disabilities according to the type of disability. This analysis is based on a systematic review of the use of the concepts of "accessibility" and "inclusion" related to "library" in the scientific production in the field of Library and Information Science in the databases of Web of Science, Scopus and Library Science Database, aiming to study the attention paid to people with disabilities and, in particular, to people with hearing disability.

Incorporating accessibility in software development brings significant benefits such as the inclusion of people with disabilities. Recognizing the diversity of users with different requirements and needs within software development facilitates its use by the greatest number of users regardless of their individual conditions. The objective of this research is to obtain a knowledge base to identify those practices for which there is evidence of their use in the development of accessible software. A Systematic Literature Mapping (SLM) focused on identifying practices that incorporate accessibility activities in the software life cycle was conducted, resulting in 29 studies that met the selection criteria. The results show that the phase with more evidence of incorporation of accessibility activities in software development is the testing phase, when testers are used to verify accessibility within web pages, followed by the construction phase, when methodologies that include accessibility within the software development process are used; in the design phase it is common to incorporate artifacts that guide the development of accessible software and, finally, in the requirements phase it is common to use the requirements description to obtain and document accessibility requirements.

In the development of this investigative work, the importance of the return of the value added tax is reflected in the economy of the elderly of the Noboa parish, 24 de Mayo, where these people do not have defined knowledge about the return of the Tax Added Value (VAT). That is why the general objective was defined, which is to analyze the return of the VAT and its importance in the economy of the elderly of the Noboa parish, taking into consideration the existing lack of knowledge on the part of the adults greater. A mixed methodology was used, field, bibliographic and descriptive research; In the same way, bibliographic, deductive, inductive and statistical methods were implemented, to obtain relevant information, a survey technique was developed where non-probabilistic sampling was chosen, and the sample of 30 older adults was selected to apply said technique. The results indicate that the older adults surveyed are unaware of the VAT refund and that, furthermore, they have not received talks on this topic, concluding that these people need training so that they can enjoy this benefit and have a stable life.

Between the decades of 1960 and 1990, the family dairy farming activity, a fundamental link in the dairy circuit located in the dairy basin in Buenos Aires province, experienced significant transformations. These were driven by the demands of pasteurization, the mechanization of tasks, the railways decline, the automobile transportation growth, the lower labour demand, changes in dairy demand and the expansion of large diversified plants. Within a context of process of productive change, which role did mobility, in terms of infrastructure and practices, play? How did mobility restrict family dairy production? How did (in)accessibility influence? In order to answer these questions that have not deserved enough historiographical attention, this research describes the daily life of dairy farming families in the General Paz district, with the focus placed on mobility practices and the accessibility problems that made their social reproduction difficult in the mentioned period. To do this, a socio-territorial approach will be used and multiple sources will be compiled and analyzed, such as the press, legislation, statistics, maps and interviews. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study we aim to determine the topics and languages of information materials for foreign patients in Spain that are currently available in open access as well as to compile good practices in this regard. In addition, we aim to develop a multilingual corpus of health information texts useful for translators and interpreters in public services. The results show a general inclusive trend and there are several examples of good practices regarding the variety of health topics approached and languages in which the translated materials are available online. They also show the important work done especially by associations and foundations. However, there are very few texts with information on how the Spanish health system works and especially on the patients' rights and obligations. Moreover, the inclusion of more topics would also be helpful. Furthermore, the level of representation of the different languages is still unequal within the same autonomous community and between the different autonomous communities. The same applies regarding the topics approached and the number of translated texts that should be available. Our article proposes a basic work plan, a list of materials to be translated in the Madrid region, and a corpus of texts that can be manipulated for thematic research and to generate terminological materials for translators and interpreters.

Architectural and urban legacies, particularly with cultural functions, need to be enjoyed in a democratic, participatory and inclusive manner. In this sense, a proposal is presented aimed at improving the accessibility conditions to this type of goods, focusing on people with visual disabilities. From a theoreticalpractical perspective and with the contribution of new technologies, work was done at the Victoria Ocampo Cultural Center in the city of Mar del Plata, Argentina. This Center was of interest due to its heritage values and its lack of accessibility. Therefore, the treatment of an audio guide system was undertaken through a primarily qualitative, multidisciplinary and participatory research conception, within the framework of a larger project. In this way, methodologies and dynamic operationalizations were generated as contributions to the formulated problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Public libraries are community spaces dedicated to promoting equal opportunities and providing access to culture and knowledge. To fulfill this mission effectively and efficiently, this volume presents nine papers that offer guidelines for public library management. These papers not only review international standards and indicators (such as IFLA/Unesco and ISO), but also analyze the structure of the national library services system. Additionally, they provide guidelines in various areas, including user relationships, personnel organization, information resource arrangement, infrastructure planning, strategic plan design, and cooperation networks with governmental and non-governmental organizations. These nine compiled works present a concept that allows for the design of accessible and inclusive libraries, without any distinction among the population, in the face of today's challenges characterized by multiculturalism and digitization.

Throughout these forty years of uninterrupted democracy in Argentina, tourism has been progressively incorporated into the public agenda and into government agendas of various scales. How is tourism included in these complex and dynamic agendas? In what terms is it configured as a public issue? In order to answer these questions, some elements make it possible to reconstruct a genealogy--neither exhaustive nor definitive, but academically and socially relevant--about the incorporation of tourism in the agendas of democracy: the public policy approach, the gender perspective and the commitment to accessibility.

This study analyses and compares the areas of accessibility that can be generated around the stations that make up the Andalusian railway network by private car. To this end, the three groups in which the same station can be included have been established, consisting of those providing high-speed, medium-distance and local services. The calculations of these areas have been obtained using a GIS, with spatial information from the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia (IECA), revised and updated to correct any discrepancies that may exist in the information, mainly of the railway network, roads and population centres. Data from Renfe has also been used to determine the services provided by the different stations. The results show that currently the stations that provide medium-distance services have more people within their areas of accessibility, as they are the most numerous. On the other hand, those that provide access to High-Speed services reach fewer inhabitants, although, in terms of number of stops, they serve more people. Finally, those that make up the three Cercanias hubs are characterised by being in highly populated areas, being the second type of service with the largest number of inhabitants in their areas of accessibility.

Distance education has evolved significantly since its inception, driven by advances in information technology (IT). This article explores in detail the historical evolution of technologies used in distance education, from traditional methods to current innovations. It discusses changes from the use of postal mail and printed materials to the advent of e-learning platforms, and looks at the impact of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). The article also examines how these technologies have transformed accessibility and educational quality. Case studies from different countries, such as Colombia, Brazil, and the United States, are included to illustrate how these innovations have been implemented and adapted in various contexts. Through these examples, the influence of IT in improving distance education is highlighted and future projections are discussed, including the potential of hybrid education and the integration of new emerging technologies.

In the field of film audio-description for visually impaired people there have been numerous studies addressing different aspects. The rise of this practice is attributed to an increased awareness of inclusion and the creation of laws requiring accessible media content, based on the premise that inclusion and accessibility must go hand in hand. In this article, we present the process and results of the audio description of the first episode of the series Trigonometry (BBC, 2020), as a mock professional commission for broadcast in a non-disability specific context. The choice of this series is based on its novel subject matter, polyamorous relationships and the challenge of audio-describing the attraction between three people through their ways of looking. Recognising the importance of inclusion both in the result and in the process, a visually impaired person was joined to the team of audio-describers, who were two normal sighted people, and whose contributions were key to the process.

International laws, such as the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, represent a step towards equity. They also imply both an increase in national and regional legislation, as well as greater institutional complexity, in order to make these rights effective. Therefore, we want to know how the right to universal accessibility has been implemented in legislation. A content analysis of 36 regulations related to disability and dependency in Aragon was carried out. Finally, it was detected that, despite certain advances, the adaptation of the regulations has not been consolidated, affecting the recognition of the rights of people with disabilities, especially the youngest and those with severe support needs.

The primary goal of this research study is to perform a comparative analysis of the growth and coverage of the urban public transport system in the city of Manizales (Colombia) between the years 2010, 2015, and 2021. Geostatistical models are applied as a methodological basis, complemented with coverage and supply change analyses. The results show an increase in travel time between 2010 and 2015, suggesting stagnation in the expansion of the transportation system. There is a significant leap in public transport coverage between 2015 and 2021, which may be explained by transport infrastructure improvements in the city. It is concluded that the dynamics of coverage and access offered by an urban public transport system may be affected by the dynamics of urban growth if substantial and relevant interventions are not made.
