The following work attempts, to the extent of its possibilities and extension, to shed a little light on the issue that is commonly known as relativism, and its alleged gnoseological trap. On account of this, we will start with a reflection on the media phenomenon designated as "post-truth", as a trigger for the revision of the old dichotomy between Plato and the Sophistic about the nature of truth and its implication in politics. Finally, we will consider the contribution of the Viennese epistemologist Paul Feyerabend with regard to the discussion on cultural relativism in order to position ourselves in a clearer and more justified perspective in the face of the challenges of contemporary Latin American politics, reviewing some concepts proposed by Laclau in his text "Debates and Fights".

La interdisciplina ha ganado auge como renovación de la hoy gastada promesa de que la ciencia resolvería los problemas de la Humanidad. Por ello, se ha puesto demasiadas expectativas en su aporte. La obra de Rolando García sobre interdisciplina, que opera aplicando teoría de sistemas, reconduce hacia la solución de situaciones concretas, y lo hace con variados aciertos. Pero contiene también problemas: desde suponer que es esa la única interdisciplina posible, a pretender que todos los intervinientes en un grupo renuncien a sus posturas teóricas previas y retraduzcan su bagaje en términos de teoría sistémica Interdisciplinarity became prestigious presented like renovation from the old promise about sciencia solutionning Humanity problems. This assumption implicated too much for being true. Rolando Garcia´s works about interdisciplinarity applying systems theory, goes to solutions for concrete situations by an interesting way. But there are some problems also. For example, assuming that this is the only possible kind of interdisciplinary works, or pretending that group´s members must give up to their previous theoretical points of view for traslating them to systems theory language.

The updating of technological processes, innovation and the needs of computerization in Cuban society impact on social development and demand more and more the updating and training of workers and leaders at the business sector. The objective of the article is to propose an integrating strategy between the university and the labor entity for the training of managers in the management ofinformation with Information and Communication Technology. The strategy is applied partially in a company, in which satisfactory results are obtained, based on the methods used. The strategy is distinguished by cooperative relations as a particular form of integration to which information management skills areincorporated with information and communication technology according to the goals and objectives of the company.Key words: management, information, communication, training, strategy

The results of the transformation of the "Radiometric Methods and Nuclear Geophysics” subject within the Study Plan D and the new Study Plan E are presented in the Geophysical Engineering curriculum at "José Antonio Echeverría" Technological University, CUJAE.  The modifications made have allowed us to move from a teaching process model centered on the teacher to another onefocused on the student, prioritizing the practical and independent activity and favoring the insertion of students in research projects carried out by the Department of Geosciences. The organizational changes made in the last four courses are also shown which include the use of the infrastructure of the main related employer organizations of the territory, through collaborative relationshipsand agreements, which guarantee the continuous improvement of the material base and technical equipment necessary for the fulfillment of the objectives of the subject and the adequate professional training of the students.Key words: Geophysics, radiometric methods, curriculum.

The knowledge of the English language is an imperative for university graduates, as an adequate competence in this language influences their suitable performance as professionals. This paper aims at providing the results of a research that has been carried out at “José Antonio Echeverría” Technological University of Havana in order to develop the engineers and architects´ communicative competence in English for Professional Purposes at the postgraduate level. Surveys were applied to engineers and architects, as well as to experts in the curricular board so as to confirm the problem observed in practice. Besides, a documentary study was performed, which provided information about the object investigated. A didactic strategy was designed as a solution to the problem under study. It was implemented through a pedagogical experiment. The results of the pedagogical tests applied at the beginning and at the end of the pedagogical experimentshowed that the didactic strategy designed was effective for developing the engineers and architects´ communicative competence in English for Professional Purposes in the postgraduate level, at “José A. Echeverría” TechnologicalUniversity of Havana.Key words: communicative competence, postgraduate level, didactic strategy.

In the Cuban economic sphere, a series of transformations are taking place from the structural point of view, ranging from the microeconomic to the macroeconomic level, and in all of this the updating of the Cuban economic and social model play a predominant role. The objective of this work was to demonstrate the need for contextualized training in business economics andbusiness group AZCUBA reservations in the current context. A questionnaire was applied to evaluate the application of economic analysis techniques in the intake process Decisions were used for the analysis of documents that allow showing possible training needs in economics.  These are the studies or reports related tolabor fluctuation and investment projects, the harvest balances that are issued when the harvest period finishes; and the results of the checks carried out during the years 2014 and 2015 for the AZCUBA Business Group. The instruments applied allowed corroborating that the training is not contextualized to what each management position demands, so a curriculum for the training in managerial economics is proposed for a better economic performance of the executives, that´s why once it finishes, this research will be able to count on a whole series of tools and instruments that allow the training in managerial economics for cadres and reserves of the sector to be contextualized.Key words: Managers; training; Managerial.

The National University of San Agustin of Arequipa (UNSA) - Peru has been going through a process of adaptation to the University Law No. 30220. In this context, the named "educational model of the National University of San Agustin Arequipa". Model has been developed, which incorporates international standards for the professional training of their pupils, it also considers the curriculum design by competences. Taking into account all these bases the present research is been carried out directed to redesign the curriculum of the subject "calculas in a Variable" delivered at the University of San Agustin to students majoring at “Systems Engineering”. The work shows that it is the first course of basic training of new and extensive content that serves as a basis for carrying other courses and their importance in the training of engineers. The statistics show that there are a large number of student dropout and failures. That is why a transformative reflection on the teaching-learning process is required, departing from the transformation of the curriculum of the subject in such a way as to respond to the demands of the twenty-first century.Key words: Curriculum Redesign, mathematical skills, teaching-learning, training of engineers.

The XXI century society demands and calls for promoting reflections that allow us to appreciate, from different theoretical approaches, the preparation for employment, since it is an area that is still opened to discussion and there are different investigations oriented towards the development of this process that reveals the debate that remains on this subject today. The present article is aimed at systematizing the preparation of the engineer to fulfill the assigned work activity with a social mission. Different methods of the theoretical level were used to interpret facts and data, systematize the information and specify different approaches that allow to reach a generalization level about the preparation for employment, particularly the engineer, and to infer theoretical formulations that support the approach by competencies and the implementation of educational methodologies that prepare the engineer for the labor market under the conception of favoring the new work culture, in which the permanent learning of values, abilities, skills, labor and organizational skills, as well as the capacity forentrepreneurship. They are becoming the axis that articulates the demands of the productive society.

The present work, directed to professors of Programming, programmers, students of Computer Engineering and of Sciences of the Computation, has the objective to argue the potentialities that offer the linked lists when comparing them with the arrays of static size and the dynamic arrays, structures that historically havecoexisted in the most used programming languages. Algorithms were also obtained for the solution of problems, the graphic modeling of the structures, codes for the creation, printing, and search of elements, with the use of Java and C # programming languages and a set of recommendations of charactermethodological, valid for students, programming teachers and programmers. To this end, scientific research methods were applied, among them: documentary analysis, modeling, system approach, observation, storms of ideas together withthe experiences of authors as programming teachers. Among the conclusions is expressed that, in the teaching and learning process of the arrays, contiguous lists and linked lists it is advisable to write the algorithm that solves the problem, then graphically model the structure and finally write the code in the programminglanguage and Double-linked lists, although they consume more space, offer a greater facility for traversing them by allowing sequential access in both directions.Key words: Programming, data structures, lists, linked lists, arrays, dynamic arrays.

The objective of this article is to show the high levels of learning and motivation for scientific research achieved in the students of the Geophysical Engineering career, as a result of the methodological work developed in the subjects "Well Geophysical Methods" and "Well Geophysical Methods for the prospection and exploration of hydrocarbons, minerals and water ". The methodological work developed allowed to design these subjects dedicating more than 50% of the total hours to the independent work of the students, through practical classes, seminars and extra class control tasks, linked to the solution of real problems of the activity geological in the country. The student participation in scientific events, the acknowledgments received, the exercises of culmination of studies developed in these topics, the favorable opinions of the employers on the performance of the students, demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodological work developed.Key words: teaching of geophysical engineering, methodological work, geophysical well logging methods.
