Ensayo crítico sobre el pensamiento de Michael Foucault

To identify environmental costs in a mining company in order to establish preventive and corrective measures to improve environmental quality. Methodology.A qualitative approach was employed, based on a case study. Results. It was identified that the company recognizes certain environmental costs; however, these are hidden within the general expenses and lack a valuation method allowing to associate them by stages and integrate them into the accounting system of the organization. Conclusion. It is concluded that the organization must recognize the different environmental costs in each of its production stages to prevent, mitigate, control, and counteract the socio-environmental damage caused. Additionally, there is a contribution to enhancing the company’s productive processes so that they become healthier and that environmental quality gradually increases.

Objective. To evaluate whether Colombian small and medium-sized companies in the supermarket industry create economic value added in the period 2014-2020 and whether the outcomes are consistent with their financial performance accounting indicators. Methodology. A static and trend analysis of growth, efficiency, efficacy, effectiveness, economic value added and market value added indicators is performed. Results. SME supermarkets outperform small businesses in accounting performance because they are more effective in managing costs and expenses and more efficient in the administration of assets, despite using less positive financial leverage. Also, SME supermarkets create added economic value: the small one in six years and the medium one in four. Conclusions.Comparing the overall supermarket industry to SMEs reveals that the former is less effective for being less efficacious and efficient, and uses less financial leverage; additionally, each year this sector destroys economic value added.

One of the great challenges in the post-COVID-19 pandemic teaching-learning process corresponds to the critical thinking of the actors involved in the process (both teachers and students). In fact, when doing an online search, you will find millions of articles and scientific documents written in various languages ​​in line with this theme; However, the question also comes up again: do you have critical thinking? One of the great challenges in the post-COVID-19 pandemic teaching-learning process corresponds to the critical thinking of the actors involved in the process (both teachers and students). In fact, when doing an online search, you will find millions of articles and scientific documents written in various languages ​​in line with this theme; However, the question also comes up again: do you have critical thinking? Perhaps you —or the educational institution in which you work— have the same position as Hawes (2003). This author clearly states that "developing the capacity for autonomous and critical thinking is a major commitment of university education and a social expectation of professionals who graduate from it" (p. 5).

La presente investigación realiza una revisión tipo diagnóstico sobre la interculturalidad en la planificación territorial en el marco jurídico internacional, nacional y local. La interculturalidad es considerada una herramienta de lucha cuyo propósito es establecer acciones ligadas hacia la igualdad real de los pueblos, en el sentido no solo cultural sino material. Sin embargo, con el tiempo se vienen gestando desviaciones que distorsionan las tradiciones ancestrales de estos pueblos, atentando contra la continuidad de la identidad cultural. El objetivo de esta investigación es establecer estrategias de mejoras interculturales sobre la planificación territorial del cantón Guaranda-Ecuador, como garantes de protección de los derechos humanos indígenas con miras a la promoción de la inclusión y libertades fundamentales basados en la igualdad, la no discriminación y participación plena en todas las esferas sociales del país. El enfoque metodológico es cualitativo de nivel descriptivo y con un diseño exploratorio que sirvió para identificar elementos en materia intercultural, haciendo contrastes con legislaciones para determinar las tendencias en torno al tema. Los resultados denotan la existencia de procesos que muestran retrocesos en torno a la identidad cultural del pueblo Kichwa en la provincia de Guaranda, debido al descuido de factores como: la alimentación, trabajo comunitario (minga), religión, indumentaria e idioma. Todos ellos han permitido ciertas influencias europeas y occidentales, perdiendo esa filosofía fundamentada en el respeto. Las conclusiones señalan transformaciones sociales devenidas de los efectos que genera la globalización y la tecnología, produciendo un fenómeno que afectan las interdependencias territoriales de las naciones, en especial aquellas que tienen fuertes arraigos con las costumbres indígenas. Estructurar políticas de crecimiento local es tedioso si no se toman en consideración factores dimensionales que cada Estado posee, sobre todo aquellos que relacionados con el crecimiento poblacional y los modelos de inclusión que deben estar por encima de los intereses partidarios.

Education during the pandemic was adapted to new work methodologies, the initial level had to face the teaching-learning processes in the face of various technological devices, the game-work methodology that is taught in classrooms was left aside and incorporated new educational processes at home with digital tools, for this reason, this research analyzes the influence of virtuality in the teaching-learning process at the initial level. This study had a quantitative approach with a descriptive scope. The technique was the survey and the instrument: questionnaire, with multiple choice questions, addressed to teachers and parents, as direct actors in the teaching of children, where the advantages and disadvantages of the virtual modality in the educational process. The results of the surveys of nursery school teachers indicated that the influence on learning was negative in the virtual modality, because the teaching performance was truncated by the lack of training, connectivity failures, asynchronous classes, lack of digital resources, while the results of the parent surveys indicated that the influence was positive on the learning of their sons and daughters, because the institution provided all the necessary tools for the virtual modality to be optimal. Finally, it is concluded that institutions must have adequate technological resources to develop the digital skills of all educational actors, but it is also urgent that teachers challenge, overcome and incorporate ICT in education

If the concept of the right to communication is observed in a primary sense, understood as the possibility that every human being has at birth and makes use of the various expressive variants such as verbal language, gestures, looks, sounds, etc., Should we consider the need to promote a right to communication for the exercise of citizenship? As is widely known, this primary use of communication becomes more complex when power relations, ideologies, governments, media monopolies, among other elements, intervene in societies. Therefore, the process goes from being noticed as something natural to an element to which attention must be paid and which must be considered within the fundamental rights of human beings, recognized by society as a whole. This work aims to address and make a historical journey and the currents of power throughout Latin America and Ecuador, during the last five decades to address and learn about the rights and access to communication and information to achieve its democratization with the citizen participation.

This article addresses the development of research into ventures that lasts over time to determine which are the most important or used by managers, strategists and founding leaders. The soft skills model is based on the ROV High Performance Team Training methodology that has 19 soft skills and was developed for Enterprises Consulting with more than 700 companies in Ecuador. The data is from entrepreneurs from different cities, provinces and countries in Latin America, 90% of them are local entrepreneurs, the information was collected through surveys and interviews, the methodology would be defined as a mixed paradigm. The global list of soft skills, duration in time and dictionary of each skill and level were known.

Esta investigação teve o intuito de mapear a presença das temáticas relativas à História da Matemática (HM) em disciplinas dos cursos presenciais de formação de professores de Matemática oferecidos por Universidades Federais brasileiras. Para tanto, identificamos esses cursos e, posteriormente, localizamos e analisamos documentos oficiais (Projetos Pedagógicos de Cursos, ementas, planos de ensino ou matrizes curriculares) de 117 (cerca de 87%) deles. Os dados obtidos indicam que temáticas relativas à HM são previstas de serem abordadas em disciplinas de 112 cursos, de modo que são indicados tópicos da HM e aspectos referentes às articulações entre a HM e a Educação Matemática (EM). Os aspectos da HM estão presentes em ementas de disciplinas de “História da Ciência”, de “Ensino de Matemática”, de “Matemática” e, sobretudo, em disciplinas específicas de “História da Matemática”. Já as articulações entre HM e EM que são apresentadas se referem a: “HM no Ensino”, “História da EM” e “HM como uma possibilidade de pesquisa na EM”. Os aspectos da HM estão mais presentes nas ementas analisadas que os das articulações entre HM e EM e cerca de metade dos cursos abordam ambas temáticas. Entretanto, apenas 18% dos cursos analisados ofertam disciplinas cujas ementas apresentam aspectos da “HM”, da “HM no Ensino” e da “História da EM”, conforme indicado pela literatura. Assim, ressaltamos que os resultados desta investigação podem fornecer elementos que permitem um repensar sobre formas de incluir aspectos da HM e de suas articulações com a EM em cursos de Licenciatura em Matemática.

Las conexiones matemáticas son competencias necesarias que se deben desarrollar en los estudiantes para la comprensión de conceptos en matemáticas en cualquier nivel educativo. Además, la historia de la matemática es un contexto del que emanan conexiones para la construcción de conocimiento. Por lo cual, en este artículo se presentan algunas conexiones intramatemáticas identificadas al resolver tareas sobre la clasificación de los grupos de orden cuatro fundamentada en un análisis histórico y epistemológico del concepto de grupos isomorfos. La investigación es cualitativa y su diseño es un estudio de caso. Para la recolección de datos se aplicó una entrevista. Los datos se analizaron desde un análisis cualitativo de texto. Los resultados indican que existen, por lo menos, tres conexiones asociadas a los conceptos de grupo, isomorfismo y grupos isomorfos de los siguientes tipos que son comparación a través de características comunes, derivación, procedimiento y relación parte-todo. Se concluye que las tareas diseñadas con una fundamentación histórica favorecen para la apreciación conectada de los conceptos y resultados matemáticos en relación con los problemas e ideas que los generaron, haciendo explícitas las conexiones matemáticas.
