The text presents three possible dimensions of using Foucauldian thought in relation to the Latin American perspective of the writer to situate the present: political rationality, materialist ethics, and critical ontology. This perspective is part of a research program in which the author has already published several advances. It then focuses on the pragmatic concept of truth as a knotting factor of these three dimensions, and concludes with a possible diagnosis about why it is so challenging - yet indispensable - to currently make use of Foucauldian thought in the indicated sense.

The first objective was to estimate the digital gender gap in the department of Puno in the year 2021. For this, the probit regression model with sample selection called Heckprobit was applied using data from the Residential Survey of Telecommunications Services for the year 2021 (Erestel, 2021) of the Supervisory Agency for Private Investment in Telecommunications (Peru). The second objective was to identify the determinants of the frequency of mobile Internet use in women dedicated to textile crafts in the department of Puno, for which the censored Poisson regression model was applied with primary data collected through a questionnaire, the simple random sample technique was used. The results show the existence of the digital gender gap, men are more likely to access mobile Internet by 5.4 percentage points compared to women. On the other hand, the results corroborate that the frequency of mobile Internet use was even lower for older artisan women (p<0.01), with fewer years of education (p<0.10), if they reside in a rural area (p<0.01) and if they have limited mobile Internet service (p<0.05), the digital gender gap persists and it is imperative that the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations and the municipalities undertake actions to promoting the closing of the gender gap, within the framework of the sustainable development goals of the millennium in the world agenda 2030 of the United Nations (UN).

Royal Decree 665/2023 modifies the Regulation of the Public Hydraulic Domain, the Regulation of Public Water Administration, and Royal Decree 9/2005. These modifications respond to the reforms established in the Council's Proposal for the Implementation Decision regarding the approval of Spain's recovery and resilience plan assessment. The main objective of this decree is to simplify the management of the public hydraulic domain and update the regulatory framework to the new existing pressures on the management of the PHD. Measures are included to reduce administrative burdens and promote environmental recovery after forest fires. It also addresses the management of invasive exotic species and plantations in the public hydraulic domain. The text presents modifications to the Hydrological Planning Royal Decree (RDPH) with the aim of streamlining and homogenizing administrative procedures related to water. A simplified regime is established for the discharge of low-impact wastewater, and the digitization of water use control is promoted. Measures are also included to prevent water pollution due to agricultural activity and criteria are established for the protection of groundwater. In addition, a procedure is established to assess damages and define actions in case of localized contamination of an aquifer. Royal Decree 665/2023 modifies the Regulation of the Public Hydraulic Domain (RDPH) in several aspects. The direct discharge of wastewater is prohibited regardless of its content, and indirect discharges are limited, requiring a hydrogeological study for authorization. A new regulatory framework is established for aquifer recharge, and adjustments are made in flood risk planning and management. The mapping of the public domain is also updated, and discharges from the overflow of the sanitation system during rain episodes in cities are regulated. In addition, aspects of the concessionary regime for water use are addressed, and administrative procedures are improved. The modification came into effect on September 20, 2023.

An online marketplace operator that incorporates its own and third-party sellers' offers uses an identical sign to an EU trademark in the goods offered by third-party sellers without the proprietor's consent if a well-informed and reasonably observant internet user establishes a link between the services of that operator and the sign, and, in particular, when the user may form the impression that the operator itself is marketing, in its own name and on its own account, the goods bearing that sign.

This paper focuses on the evolution of loanwords from the end of the 19th century to modern Spanish on the basis of columns on the language (CSL). The main objective is to study the tensions between norm established by Spanish language institutions or their representatives and the actual use of loanwords by Spanish speakers. We start from the idea that language is closely related to nationalist ideology, near purism. If we relate loan, dictionary and columnism, we can reflect on how ideological positions and norm conceptions have evolutioned in lexical creation. To this end, we will establish four periods by selecting several columnists, we will contrast their opinion with the academic norm through the contemporary dictionary and we will check the actual use in the academic corpus. The results will show whether the norm, in principle always on alert and resistant to the incorporation of foreign words, and the real use of the speakers are contrary or converge. Finally, the ideological implications of this type of attitude on the part of both the Academy and the columnists will be reflected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital leisure has become a useful and motivating didactic tool for student learning, which also contributes to the acquisition of digital skills. The aim of this study is to analyse the access and use of digital technology by university students at the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala (USAC), as well as their attitudes towards digital leisure. This study is framed within the quantitative paradigm, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive, exploratory, and correlational design. A total of 203 university students (47.5% male; 52.5% female) from USAC between the ages of 17 and 49 (M=23.33; SD=5.55) participated in the study. The results indicate that the digital devices and services most accessed by university students are smartphones (91.8%) and laptops (80.3%), and 96% have profiles on social networks. Specifically, younger students (17-20 years old) are the ones who use digital technology most for digital leisure activities and show a greater enjoyment of digital leisure activities. These data reflect how mainly new university students are familiar with digital technology and have a positive attitude towards digital leisure, which could be used by teachers to promote the inclusion of this tool in the classroom to promote digital competences and create a motivating and effective learning environment.

The cocos industry generates high volumes of by-products and waste that could have added value, among winds are cocou soed husks, but are not used, generating environmental problems. Hence, the objective of this research was to determine the physicochemical properties of an organic fertilitzer prepared from cocoa husks, using the Bocashi typs mathodology Initially, the physicochemical characterization of the husk was carried out and fout realments were formulated, with four sepetitions cach, with different proportions of husk (0, 25, 50 and 75 % w/w). The compost piles formed wore anonsured for 15 days. The hest treatment obtained wat T4, in which the largest umount of husk was sused, recording the highest nitrogen concentration (1.23% w/w) and the lowen C/N ratio (27/1) The rest of the Geatments showed higher phosphorus and potassium contents, but with high C/N ratios (from 34 to 591, indicating that the composting process did not reach stability in the evaluated une. Finally, it is concluded that an organic fertilizer can be obtained based on cocoa husks, which has both physical and chemical characteristics that can be used as soil amendments.

Inequality is a problem that requires urgent responses. In the quest for solutions, researchers employ various indicators of inequality and different dimensions of e-Government (EG). Objective. Review empirical research that analyzed the contribution of income, socio-economic level (SES) and social status (SS) on the use, intention to use and adoption of EG. Method. We conducted a narrative review, selecting publications from 2015 to 2020. We described the inequality indicators and their measurement, the dependent variables used and the results obtained. Results/Conclusions. Income was measured in 70% of the studies as an ordinal variable; we observed a predominance of the economic dimension as an indicator of inequality. SES was reported in 30% of the studies using different measurement forms, and in no studies was SS measured. Dependent variables use, intention to use and adoption were employed as synonyms, ignoring post-adoption and appropriation of EG. The results found in the papers reviewed were inconsistent; inequality indicators were sometimes statistically significant, sometimes not. A possible explanation is the methodological difficulty in approaching the complexity of inequality, often measured unidimensional and quantitatively. A challenge is to combine theoretical and methodological approaches that consider inequality multidimensional and culturally anchored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gender-inclusive language, related to less sexist attitudes, it is not usual, even in educational contexts. This study analyzes the importance that university students, faculty, and Administrative and Service Staff gives to inclusive language in the Faculty of Education of Bilbao (UPV/EHU), and whether they value differently its use in Basque and Spanish. Participants (165) were 83% women, 16.4% men and 1 person of non-binary sex (0.6%). The average age was 27.76 years (SD = 11.87). The attitude towards inclusive language is positive and is recognized as a tool to reduce gender inequity, but its use is far from being common. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is the result of the research carried out in the city of Arandas, Jalisco, in order to determine the potential of the "agrillo" plant fruit (Rhus aromatica) in the elaboration of different food products and their distribution; to know the physical and food characteristics that allow a better valuation of the fruit in the food industry; to identify its life cycle, as well as exploitation opportunities in the Jalisco Highlands Region and its potential market. The "agrillo" is a fruit that can be consumed in a variety of food products, has potential in herbalism and medicine, and even as refreshing drinks and liquors, if the corresponding care is taken for the processing of the fruit. The proposal for new agricultural products is a relevant aspect from the economic, political, and social point of view; for this reason, all existing alternatives must be examined to help the state's economy and regional sustainability. The method implemented in this research was of a qualitative nature, in which the characteristics of the "agrillo", the interrelation between them and other secondary aspects that include the uses and acceptance were studied. The results showed that it is a wild species, and its fruit is collected in the hills of the region in during early spring or early autumn, each plant has an annual harvest and the production process is slow; the uses of the plant are diverse, highlighting the areas of food, herbalism, medicinal and grazing; among the organoleptic properties is distinguished the taste of acid, pungent and harsh acidity in the sense of smell and taste. The "agrillo" is a fruit that has marketing potential for the characteristics and properties it contains, added to the expectations of the market, due to the product differentiation, its originality causes acceptance to both potential and non-potential customers, trusting that in the future they will be able to buy this fruit in the places of preference. In the economic aspect, the kiloram of "agrillo" reaches $250.00 to $300.00 Mexican pesos (12.50-15.00 USD), which can be considered as a sustainable alternative of production in the region, the Rhus plant is a support in the maintenance of the soil, its leaves serve as fertilizer and become organic fertilizer for the same plant.

Objective: To explore and analyses the importance of food policies through the concept of food security and its dimensions in the case of Mexico and food policies. Methodology: implementation of an analytical device using the food security concept and its dimensions through which food policies can be analyzed. Results: Food policy in Mexico has a rather limited scope: between 1940 and 1990, policies catered to the food security dimensions of availability and access through production and consumption subsidies, in addition to fostering productive and commercial activities; from the 1980s onwards, food policies have largely leaned towards the food security dimension of access of the most vulnerable population. Limitations: The analysis requires statistical data of the overall contribution of food policies towards food security, whether as individual interventions or from an aggregate perspective. Conclusions: Food security does not seem to be a priority for the Mexican State; there is not a wide public strategy in place to move towards food security; for the most part only two of the four dimensions of the food security concept (access and utilization) are considered in the catalogue of policy interventions.

Even though many texts written by EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students do not present any grammar mistakes, or problems with vocabulary use, they often sound stilted and unnatural. At times, this can be caused by the overuse and misuse of cohesive devices. The present study was designed to investigate the use of connectors in paragraphs and essays written by EFL college majors in two English language teaching programs in Mar del Plata and to determine the extent to which text type and length affect the use of such devices. 200 texts written by freshmen and sophomore were analyzed. Results show that most EFL majors overused connectors, especially to write short texts like paragraphs and that second year students used less connectors when composing their essays. Pedagogical implications for the EFL writing class will be discussed considering the results obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Endless local and global cartography was generated since the discovery, which relate different scientific and utopian aspects. While, the centuries to come offered a wealth of information, provided especially by the religious orders that visited and traveled our territory. The progress and evolution of this technique was conceived directly by the conquering armies. In the 18th century, with the new administration, knowledge was rethought, not only to the Church, but rather, to the academic world, which together with the military orders were taking over territorial planning. In this way, we can find that Castilla's direct request corresponded to continuing to obtain a cadastre that had to complete the desired Royal Register. Many are the requests for information that covered the territory, directed to the administration on duty and to the religious orders themselves. In particular, the wide spatial development that the Jesuits obtained through in situ knowledge in these latitudes, determined a wide acquisition of territories that they had to return to the Iberian empire. In this process, development and political noise, a drafting engineer makes, at the request of the crown, a report from the Kingdom of Chile. Beyond the preparation of the report, a line that draws and ends at the beginning of the year 1768 draws attention. The Map of the Reyno de Chile, title that delivers and signs as its authorship, raises an enormity of questions that could be useful in operations later of the crown, but the utility and use in the consolidation and reestablishment of the limits of the kingdom as well as the identification of the indicated enemy remains an absolute mystery. Forgotten traces on Higgins's map proposes to rediscover the specific elements indicated in its trace and the relationships that lead to a before and after the kingdom of Chile.

In this paper we defend the proposition that the law, which has emerged since the 16th century (in conjunction with State, capitalism and subject), maintains an eminently colonial root and has as its objective its own expansion. We propose the term matrix of legalcolonial intelligibility to explain how a naturalization of the legal phenomenon is produced and used to construct the fiction of its universality and its timelessness. From this concept of law, we consider the place of subjectivity in the question of emancipation and decolonization, concluding with the need to think of the category "use" as a line of escape from the matrix of legal-colonial intelligibility.

The general objective of this research was to propose strategic guidelines for the digital divide of computer tools 2.0 among users of the private clinics in the municipality of Fonseca (La Guajira). This research is supported by the theoretical contributions of Cabero (2004 and 2015), James (2010), Rodríguez, D. A., Brisson, E. M. & Estupiñán, N (2009), among others. The type of research is descriptive, under a nonexperimental, transactional and field design. The population under study was made up of 172 users of the Private Clinics of the Fonseca-La Guajira municipality. The data collection technique applied was the questionnaire which consisted of thirty-six (36) single-choice items within a Likert-type attitudes scale. As a conclusion, it was obtained that the 2.0 computer tools, among the users of the Private Clinics is moderate, highlighting the environment for sharing resources and social networks, they also access the 2.0 computer tools preferably from public places through smart cell phones using as a means of WIFI connection, using them moderately mainly for leisure and entertainment, dedicating between four (4) and eight (8) hours a day. On the other hand, a proposal was developed to reduce the digital divide between users of Private Clinics. It is recommended to implement the strategic guidelines proposed in this research, such as: planning and putting into practice training programs for users of Private Clinics regarding knowledge, access, and use of IT tools 2.0, facilitating access and promoting their use for health purposes.

The present study was carried out in order to know the quality requirements for the commercialization and consumption of eggplant fruits in the main cities in Colombia. For this, semi-structured surveys were carried out that considered aspects of the commercialization, market, use, consumption, and quality of the fruits concerning the preferences of the fruit marketers and restaurants of Arab and Syrian-Lebanese food. Descriptive statistics, principal component, and multiple correspondences analysis were performed. The results made it possible to identify the characteristics of the traders, the origin of the fruits, prices, presentations, destination markets, and the most relevant aspects associated with the extrinsic quality of the fruit. It was found that, although there is a market for all types of fruits, in the cities of the interior of the country, black, shiny, firm, and shaped fruits are preferred, while in the Caribbean region, lilac or purple fruits longer than wide, bulb-shaped fruits are preferred. The results allowed us to conclude that the quality aspects that determine most purche decisions in restaurants are the size, firmness, shape, and brightness of the fruits, while in marketplaces and supply centers, color, size, and health of the fruits are more determinant. It is recommended that genetic improvement programs in the country should be oriented to obtain varieties with colors, shape, and size according to the preferences of the regional and local market, highlighting the importance of obtaining fruits with greater firmness to improve shelf life.

The aim of this work is to identify the new possibilities of contents and technologies of digital books as communication and informational tools of last generation within the ICT. In addition, the position and receptivity of the new formats within the university publishing world in Colombia is evidenced. The process begins with a historical-contextual analysis for the comprehension of the book and the impact of the electronic format, passing through proactive methods to approach real approximations from the characteristics of the contents, typology of devices, specifications and developments for the screen-mediated reading to the hermeneutic reading of the different sources selected for the process: Interviews and conversations with editors, producers, designers and university publishing funds. From the instruments, surveys were designed for 25 editorial groups and 9 unstructured interviews with production companies and an in-depth interview model for university librarians. It is clarified that these instruments are part of a macro research, which also reviewed the role of the electronic book in the Colombian commercial sector, accompanied by 1,500 surveys throughout the country.
