Education is fundamental in learning the necessary skills for the social, economic and cultural development of every nation. The 2030 Agenda establishes in SDG 4, "Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education, and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all" (UNESCO, 2018). Lifelong learning is understood throughout life, and this implies improving the transition processes between educational levels, from primary education to higher education and the labor market, thus generating articulation processes. In Colombia, the articulation of secondary education with higher education has been defined since the General Education Law of 1994. However, one of the biggest challenges in this transition is the articulation of the state university and the productive sector. Clear policies of the Ministry of National Education are necessary, articulation with the labor market and opportunities for technical and technological training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper seeks to propose bridges for dialogue or articulation between the experience of divine communication in shamanic practices with hallucinogens and Christianity's experience of revelation. This dialogue has been truncated since colonial times when the missionaries prohibited indigenous shamanic practices. But in the context of Pope Francis' magisterium and in the relational visions of the world, it is necessary to suggest an articulation that allows its unity yet respecting the difference and autonomy of cultural and religious fields and levels of language. In this sense, the method used is one of mediation and articulation. The main result is to notice that there are meeting points (care and life), and differences (the way in which care and living are concretized). In addition, within the framework of the problem of the unity and difference of these experiences, the notion of plenitude or pleroma appears as a horizon and enriching gesture of the various senses and layers of living.

Science as an object of knowledge has been a central concern of the social sciences since the first decades of the 20th century. However, the object itself is neither static nor unchanging, and has been transformed over time. In recent decades, the innovative approach of gender studies has gained considerable ground in the social studies of science. While some of them have paid attention to the relations of the professional field with the family sphere and have investigated the ways in which structural factors of the life course play an important role in research careers, there are still few theoretical and empirical contributions that think of science as productive work highly articulated with social reproduction. Although this axis of enquiry is still incipient in social studies of science, it is consolidated within the social sciences hand in hand with labour studies and feminist economics. Within the framework of the important contributions made, this paper seeks to review the existing literature and a conceptual approach to the understanding of scientific work and its articulations with reproductive work, taking gender as a category of analysis. The paper is organised in four parts: in the first section we will review the critiques of the concept of work inherited from modernity and we will focus on thinking of science as work with specificities; in the second section we will address the processes of social reproduction in terms of the articulation of spheres; in the third section we will consider the study of gender and science; in the fourth section, we will describe the way in which this conceptual proposal operates in the empirical study carried out; finally, we will present a systematisation of the concepts developed throughout the paper and a conceptual approach to their approach.

The article presents the design of a new model of functional transtibial prosthesis that simulates the anatomical behavior of the tibioperoneo-astragalus joint. The design aims to improve gait biomechanics and reduce impact on the stump and gait alterations. The design of a new transtibial prosthesis is proposed that meets the requirements of human body functioning and improves body biomechanics. The model includes a spring system that allows for energy displacement during gait and has hydraulic, pneumatic, and electric actuators. This innovative design provides support in different anatomical positions of the human body and during gait. [Extracted from the article]

This article explores how the event of the Amazon Synod and the magisterium of Pope Francis prompt theological reflection. It proposes as a hypothesis that the problem of unity in Theology can be reconsidered by means of the shifts and categories offered in contemporary Church reflection in response to the challenges of the present century, since they touch upon theological foundations. Therefore, this research asks how to think about the unity of Theology within the magisterial framework of the challenges faced with the future, from the "path of synodality", and how to do so in dialogue with and learning from the Amazon Synod, given that it is a paradigmatic synod in the history of the Church. Its objective is to make explicit, in a systematic way, such thinking and its respective categories. The method investigates what thinking is and how thinking involves turning to the foundations of Theology. Finally, as a result, it finds that the category of synodality is relevant in the face of the challenges of the 21st Century, as it is a category that is enriched in its understanding: in addition to referring to modes of ecclesial participation, it also evokes a hermeneutical key capable of putting other dimensions and levels of reality into dialogue and associating them with the understanding of the foundations of Theology. Given this condition, it becomes a crucial theological category for thinking about the unity of Theology and for achieving its organicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The problem of admission, permanence and the articulation of levels occupies a central place in the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL). In this direction, it is interesting to be able to identify the educational practices that are carried out in our context to define guidelines that regulate academic activities. The objective pursued in this work is to document and describe university educational practices in scientific and technological careers during the virtualization process, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the area of General and Inorganic Chemistry for the follow-up of cohorts of the Faculty of Biochemistry and Cs. Biological. In particular, the articulation of synchronicity and asynchronicity, the incorporation of various technological resources for problem solving and experimental activities were highlighted. Finally, a new stage is proposed, the hybrid education between presence and virtuality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The public space of Latin American popular settlements is fundamentally the result of the social production of the habitat and, in some cases, of the intervention of public policies. In these contexts, the spaces of articulation between housing and the city are of special interest due to the variety of uses and functions that they are capable of harbor. Frequently, they are conceived as an extension of the home, blurring the boundaries between the public and private spheres of habitat. The article seeks to characterize, in an exploratory manner, the spaces of articulation between housing and the city in popular settlements, taking Villa 20 in Buenos Aires as a case study. This neighborhood has been going through, since 2016, a Comprehensive Re-urbanization Process (PIRU) carried out by the local State. Through a qualitative approach, based on documentary analysis and field observation, functions, uses and meanings of the spaces of articulation between housing and city are pointed out. Among the findings, it is corroborated that its organization has different characteristics from other urban spaces in the city, some elements to consider when intervening them from public policy are pointed out. In addition, it recovers the power of "everyday life" as a study perspective for the Latin American urban space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents the research results on the ways of articulation of undergraduate and postgraduate and its trajectory in Latin America in order to suggest operational elements that can smooth the transit. The research approach was a bibliographic review of the foundations and experiences related to the articulation of undergraduate and graduate programs in Colombia and Latin America, and a documentary study on normative frameworks and experiences in favor of this connection in Colombia. The study highlights the need to recognize collaborative strategies with a transdisciplinary and cross-cultural nature in search of solutions and articulations of the education levels, as well as to put pressure on the course structure still prevailing in the educational models of the country and the region. A system for the recognition of creations, obvious novelties, and good professional and organizational practices that can be incorporated into the curricula of higher education processes is required.

The commons are nowadays conceptualised as relational, unfinished, inappropriable entities that constitute an antagonistic space against capitalist appropiation, valorisation and acumulation. Such processes are nowadays present in the knowledge production practices that take place in universities. Here, we stand as researchers who inhabit this ambivalent place that Donna Haraway calls 'the belly of the beast' (Haraway, 1995) to inquire into the possible epistemological, methodological and political elements that may question cognitive capitalism enclosing logics in our research practice. To do so we draw on two cases: firstly, the Community Social Center Luis Buñuel, in Zaragoza, Spain, a "participation school" originated during the indignados movement; and secondly, the Cartografía de la Solidaridad project, a research developed in Barcelona, Spain, dealing with migrant solidarity initiatives in the face of the so-called 'refugee crisis', in 2015. Throughout the article, we foreground examples of research practices of these two cases that contribute to an alternative rationale behind knowledge production. Such practices promote alternative uses of knowledge that go beyond its inclusion in capitalist valorisation, and seek to question epistemic hierarchies to which we contribute in our academic praxis. Moreover, we review two forms in which this methodological approach can support already existing commoning processes by contributing to the articulation of differences within and between social groups. Commoning methodologies, we argue, may contrbute in a modest way to change the conditions of possibility for social change and trigger processes of social transformation in the context in which they are deployed.

Introduction: The brigades of comprehensive care for school-age children developed by the Salvadoran University Alberto Masferrer constitute a practice of articulating Teaching, Research and Social Projection, which allow the student training in Chemistry and Pharmacy under a scientific pattern, in addition to the development of skills and competencies in activities such as health promotion, disease prevention, education and health care. Goals: To generate a systematized process of education and comprehensive preparation, for the undergraduate student of Chemistry and Pharmacy, through the articulated conjugation of these three substantive functions promulgated by the Salvadoran University Alberto Masferrer. Methods: A bibliographic review of the topic was carried out and tools of the systematic method were applied, delimiting stages, components, organization, characteristics and perspectives. Results: A systematized process of education and training for undergraduate students was obtained, which is comprehensive, theoretical-practical, continuous, organized, flexible and efficient. Conclusions: The short- and long-term trends in the preparation and professional exercise of students of Chemistry and Pharmacy, in correspondence with the articulation of Teaching, Research and Social Projection, led to the construction process integral, continuous, theoretical and practical education, developed throughout this research work.

The convergence and articulation of higher education systems in Latin America and the construction and consolidation of the Latin American Higher Education Area are raised in the article as a strong challenge and an unavoidable process in the face of the current situation of fragmentation, institutional diversification, and disparity in quality levels, especially from the 90s. For this reason, the current situation and the recent evolution of higher education in Latin America are characterized, the progress made in quality evaluation and accreditation is presented, and the main convergence programs developed within the framework of the integration processes are outlined. regional. The Experimental Mechanism for Accreditation of Careers of MERCOSUR (MEXA) is analyzed; the programs, projects, works and studies of the UNESCO IESALC, the OEI, the RIACES, the European Commission and the various existing university networks. Among them are Columbus, the Montevideo Group, the CSUCA, the CINDA, the Latin American Network for University Cooperation and the Association of Latin American and Caribbean Universities for Integration. Finally, some proposals are put forward to respond to the challenge of consolidating the Latin American Higher Education Area and its convergence with the European Area, especially the Bologna Process.

The article sets out to trace a conceptual history of the right to the city in Latin America. Based on a critical reading of Lefebvre's work, the essay reconstructs the theoretical frameworks that accompany the practical transformations of the right to the city in the region. The paper covers a period that starts with the publication of the book in 1968 and finishes with the decline of "the new left" in Latin America. The essay argues that, over this period, there are three different configurations of the right to the city, in which distinct theoretical displacements accompany the appropriations made by social movements and its inclusion into public policy arenas. During a first instance, associated with social movements, the notion is used to describe forms of collective action associated with housing and spatial injustice. A second configuration is marked by an institutional and bureaucratic appropriation, where Lefebvre's original conceptual coordinates transfigured. The right to the city is presented as an empty signifier and articulation emerges as a distinct political practice. In a third more recent configuration, social movements and collectives linked to social architecture actualize the notion of the right to the city around issues of construction and prefiguration.

This work maps, characterizes and identifies public policy challenges aimed to back the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) in Uruguay. The identification process included different sources, among them the snow ball technique, and the survey was done through interviews. These policies grew during the first ten years of the progressive government in the country (2005-2014). However, a stronger density in its quantity, quality and diversity as well as framing it in a broader and common vision than that of the SSE as a tool to foster labour and social inclusion is needed. Finally, the article reflects upon three key challenges: to deepen the co-production process with other actors of the SSE, to improve the inter institutional linkages and transversity, and to debate/ review the coherence in the conceptual and strategic orientation of these set of policies in terms of why and for what to support the SSE in Uruguay.

The program starts from the logic of local development, the ongoing transformations promoted in the country with the implementation of the guidelines and the need to contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the territory population. It is inserted strategically in the implementation of the Articulated Platform for Integral Territorial Development in Cuba. The aim is to strengthen ongoing processes and connect to national socioeconomic development priorities, in coordination with the territorial development agendas, contributing to the escalation of the economy and consolidation of economic circuits; as well as the increase in the levels of income, employment and access to services of the population, with emphasis on women and young people; all of the above from: supporting economic development sectors that are part of value chains and generate employment capacity for the local population and promote initiatives aimed at the provision of local services through multi actoral and interterritorial articulations. In order to disseminate experiences, it is also proposed to systematize and disseminate the practices and instruments promoted around the management of territorial development on the basis of multi-actor, multi-level and interterritorial articulation. This is expected from the promotion of local projects that value endogenous potentials and respond to differentiated dynamics and needs of the population of these territories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To describe the modes of articulation between research and intervention with families in Colombian studies between 2010 and 2011. Methodology. State of the art carried out through a hermeneutical documentary review. Results and conclusion. The family as an object of knowledge and subject of intervention interests different disciplines such as: Social Work, Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, Medicine, Law and Education. The studies revealed two ways of articulating research and intervention with families. A first articulation refers to research processes that start from previous intervention processes and a second articulation obeys to research processes that at the same time managed to articulate with intervention processes and committed to generate processes of change and social transformation with the population. The studies that had a history of intervention processes and those that made parallel processes of research/intervention, could be considered as the ones that provide answers to the problems studied.

Determining reference values for speech-rate may be of value both for theoreticians from different fields and for speech therapy practitioners. This study was conceived with three goals: firstly, to describe speech rate among children from Santiago, Chile, grouped by age-level. Secondly, to inspect possible between-group statistical differences, given children's age. Finally, to determine whether different ways of operationalizing speech rate are equivalent or not. Four measures were observed: allophones per second (a/s), syllables per second (s/s), syllables per minute (s/m), and words per minute (p/m). The sample consisted of 61 participants: 22 children in the 4.01- 5.05 years range, 19 children in the 5.07-6.10 years range, and 20 children in the 11.01-15.00 years range. Results showed that older children speak faster than younger children. Also, no differences were found between the four different criteria used to operationalize speech rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The value chain is a key concept in all industries, it defines the activities necessaries for the production of goods and services from the beginning of the activity and identifies the different vertical, horizontal and intersectoral relationships that arise in a given economic sector. For tourism, it is necessary to identify all the connections in the service chain that allow the development of the activity and destinations, as this guarantees that all the actors involved are committed to quality and competitiveness, as well as to the same objective, is also guaranteed that the common good prevails over the particular economic benefit. Given that the business environment is dynamic and globalized, it is necessary to have decision-making inputs such as systems and models that can be updated based on changing inputs according to the context, integral transformation processes and outputs that feed the service chain, as well as they allow that all the actors (entrepreneurs, superstructure and academy), stay lined up and with their defined roles.///The objective of this article is to design a knowledge management model for the tourism industry that links the productive sector and academy, with the aim of contributing to the development of tourism based on the principle of tourism sustainability; environmental, economic and sociocultural based on collaborative work and quality.///The proposal for a knowledge management model is established through teacher immersion exercises in the tourism business sector and periodic meetings with the Tourism actors of Medellin and the Network of Training Institutions in Tourism of Antioquia (RITA).///The model constitutes a tool that articulates the development through chain management of each of the agents of the destination, defining the role of each one within the model according to the productive chain and its responsibility towards development; getting to decrease the gap historically existing between the productive sector and the academy. The active participation of related institutions is essential for the generation and management of knowledge so that all of them can respond to the challenges presented by an increasingly competitive and globalized environment.

The aim of this article is to identify some socio-political keys to understand changes and continuities in the organizations known as "piqueteras" in Argentina during the 21st. century, especially considering the articulations with the political context. In that sense, we pay attention not only to the relations with the Governments and its policies - which can favor or impede the collective actions-; but also to the changes that popular organizations can made on those conditions considered as unfair or unsustainable. The analysis focuses on the origins of this large and heterogeneous social movement, and also on its reconfigurations during Kirchner and Macri´s governments. Rather than closed statements, we present some reflections about the changes and challenges in recent years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
