In recent decades there has been a radicalisation of anti-feminist narratives in digital communities. The manosphere and more specifically the incelosphere, are ecosystems prone to the expansion of violent and misogynist discourses. This radicalisation can be traced and connected to the announcement of the crisis of masculinity and the anti-feminist discourses that emerge in the backlash at the end of the last century. This article contextualises the common thread that connects both moments and the factors that have phagocytised the radicalisation of discourses. To do so, it first reviews the emergence of post-feminism and anti-feminism in mass culture. Secondly, it analyses the confluence and extremist character of these discourses in the incelosphere.  This double analysis aims to show the intersection of the affective turn and the digital turn in these narratives.

The objective of this work is to analyze the main digital tools of diplomatic simulation through the experience of their application in the subjects taught by the author. In all modalities of that kind of simulation it is possible to have digital resources for its development, standing out for its popularity MyDiplomat, a free app that offers three simulation models of MUN (United Nations Model). To represent a virtual diplomatic simulation of the MUN, as in extended reality, the synchronous development of the activity is implicit. The most complete asynchronous modality for experiential learning purposes has been the diplomatic simulation of a bilateral conflict, according to models developed by American Space. The aim is to confirm that in a post-pandemic environment back to normality, the fully face-to-face diplomatic simulation modality has been recovered, although the synchronous modalities in extended reality and fully virtual are maintained, without losing sight of the practical but incomplete utility of other asynchronous and virtual diplomatic simulations.

The purpose of this article is to contextualize the changes at the regulatory level in terms of governance of Information and Communication Technologies, experienced by the Central Government Entities, Autonomous Institutions and Municipalities in Costa Rica, since January 1, 2022, to present a method proposal based on the reference framework of best practices for the government and management of  I&T called COBIT 2019, which allows evaluating the technological processes in the Municipality of Carrillo, in order to obtain the diagnosis of the current situation and as a value added the design of the IT government system in a holistic manner, to meet the present requirements and needs, enhance organizational management and generate public value through the services provided by the local government.

The article describes the analysis carried out on social engineering attacks in Colombia; as well as a compilation of good practices and recommendations to avoid risk that may be applicable to both common users and companies. Initially a brief description of the terminology related to social engineering, regulations, legislation and concepts is made, this with the purpose to familiarize the reader; Subsequently, it is possible to identify which are the most used social engineering techniques that affect the Colombian population. Another important aspect is to mention the strategies or campaigns created by state or private entities to help mitigate the occurrence of incidents related to or caused by this type of attack. Based on this, citizens, government entities and companies must address the issue as a socioeconomic problem, which can affect everything from their family environment to their work environment, or in the case of companies, their image and reputation. On the other hand, by analyzing the reported cases it was possible to identify the techniques used by cyber criminals and in order to help mitigate the insecurity gap, a set of good practices and recommendations is obtained so that people are not affected by attacks based on social engineering, this so that organizations can later use them to raise staff awareness and as a prevention strategy.

Eleven cucumber genotypes were grown under greenhouse and hydroponic conditions in Alajuela, Costa Rica in two different production seasons (dry and rainy) to compare their yield and quality. The harvest of all genotypes started 31 days after transplant (dat) in the dry season, and between 28 and 30 dat in the rainy season. In general, cucumber fruits were longer, thinner and heavier, and showed higher percentage of total soluble solids, when produced during the dry season. Conversely, the total number of fruits per plant, and total and commercial yields, were higher when produced during the rainy season. However, genotype x production-season interaction was significant or highly significant for all evaluated variables. Corinto and Primavera genotypes showed higher commercial yield in the dry season and they seem to have heat tolerance genes, which can be used in plant breeding to face the threat of global warming and climate change.

The article describes the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of both the existing drinking water supply system in the Las Brisas district located in the canton of Zarcero, and the surface water of the Jilguero River that crosses said community. The negative impact of human activities on water resources during the years 2019-2021 is assessed to determine its vulnerability based on the analysis of 45 freshwater samples. The most important results are: 1- There are levels of ammonium and phosphate in the aqueduct water that, during the rainy season, run off and leach into the springs, coming from the expansive agricultural development. 2- The pH and free chlorine are two parameters that need to be improved in the Las Brisas aqueduct, to reduce risks and ensure the potability of the water throughout the distribution network. 3- The contamination of the Jilguero River is classified between moderate and severe according to national regulations, a situation motivated by the intense agricultural activity in the area, as well as the disrespect for the river's protection zones; In conclusion, unfortunately, the use of the river's surface water is not recommended for many uses, restricting it for most human activities, under the current pollution condition.

This article explores the symbolic construction of the house, linked to the creative process of writing and telling stories, in the novel The house on Mango Street (1983), by Chicana writer Sandra Cisneros. The main challenge for the protagonist, Esperanza Cordero, is to overcome her feelings of isolation and experience a sense of belonging, which is another way of saying that she needs to feel “at home”. For Esperanza, it is important to have a home that she can be identified identify with, as a way of embracing a past that makes her feel proud and at the same time having a vision of a home in her future. It is through writing and storytelling that Esperanza manages to create a house of her own. The recreation of the house is closely linked to a process of empowerment and liberation by the protagonist, which is also manifested in the construction of a new identity. In a way, she is also the new house. Together with this process of emancipation, Esperanza finds in education a way to leave the marginal neighborhood of her childhood. Part of the conceptual framework used includes the theoretical notions of Chicano critics Tey Diana Rebolledo and Gloria Anzaldúa who study the ways in which Chicana writers explore subjectivity and identity in their writing.

The aim of this study is to analyze some epistemological and pedagogical aspects that can be used to construct a guiding framework intended to integrate research into the Law major curriculum. Thus, a literature review is conducted in order to contextualize research in the Law field and determine a basic outline that encompasses a variety of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and suggestions to guide its teaching approach. It can be concluded that students need to know how to interact with knowledge in order to learn how to do research. Therefore, in addition to including courses about research methodology into the curriculum, a comprehensive educational process should be directed towards the gradual development of the needs that are required for this practice; all these aspects must focus on a problem-posing education of Law and reality. 

This article contemplates as an objective the reflection on first-order issues in the modern educational field, specifically, capturing the relevance of relevance, educational quality measured through indicators and innovation in higher education. The methodological approach of the research was of the qualitative type, and was carried out through a literature review and the critical contribution of the author, in order to measure the relevance of these three components in higher education. As a result, it was possible to carry out a comprehensive approach to these essential and closely linked elements, which are part of the outcome and total gear of higher education, and of this as a fundamental process for the development of the human being in an integral way. in society, for the generation of the invaluable product that knowledge represents, not only to exercise a trade or profession, but also knowledge for life. As a conclusion of the study, it is extracted that relevance, quality and innovation constitute codependent elements in modern education, for which they must be guaranteed, monitored and kept in constant dynamics in the current educational field.

The North Pacific of Costa Rica represents an important marine-coastal scientific information gap, where the lack of a focus on resilience of the populations subject to conservation results in a failure of the management system, the objective of this work was to determine the biological factors of the most common elasmobranchs in Bahía Santa Elena, the research covered a period from September 2015 to August  2016, for this, samples were taken once a month, and the diversity, relative abundance and distribution of the species were determined through an underwater census. A sample of 289 individuals was used. To identify biometric aspects together with reproductive biology, work was done in Estero Grande using a trammel. At the fish receiving stations in Cuajiniquil, the catch size structure was determined. Additionally, a survey was applied to 120 fishermen to know the social perception regarding the factors of sustainable development. Among the main results, it was obtained that the months with the highest rainfall are related to peaks of the diversity indices, with little spatial distribution. A seasonal replacement of species is presented, highlighting the arrival of Rhinoptera steindachneri, Mobula munkiana, during the rainy months and Mustelus henlei and Sphyrna lewini during the Trade Winds. The main spawning period for Myliobatiformes is near November, however Urotrygon nana presents a second spawning period in July. Biometrics indicates dominance of sizes outside of sexual maturity in sharks and mature in rays. Finally, bottom gillnet fishing activity was characterized by low economic performance, which affects the capture of S. lewini juveniles.
