This article presents the results of research based on a life-history narrative research of the complexities involved in being a university teacher at a regional campus. Nine English as a Foreign Language (EFL) university instructors participated in this study. The data were analyzed and organized by following the three-dimensional, temporal-relational perspective on teacher agency offered by the ecological approach. Findings suggest that factors from the past that gave instructors a broad repertoire of responses to engage and act mainly included participants’ institutional and community belonging. Power differentials and the need for association and recognition stood out in participants’ stories.

This essay looks at Virginia Woolf’s use of nature. She used gardens to rethink human values and human perception. In descriptions of nature, she showed how human-centred views of the world, and our sense of the passage of time, are inadequate. Her stylistic experimentation included intermediality: the mixture of two art forms. Looking at the short story “Kew Gardens” (1919) and the novel The Years (1937), this essay considers how she adapted techniques from film and painting. In this way, she cultivated a modernist mixture of sophistication, depth, playfulness, and surprise.

Desde el paradigma de los estudios culturales y a la luz de las teorías de la identidad de Hall, Restrepo y Larraín, así como de la formación discursiva según Foucault, se analizan diferentes planteos sobre el concepto de identidad que la crítica literaria nicaragüense ha construido de El Güegüense. Se hace hincapié en la crítica literaria de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y en los debates ideológico-culturales que establece la crítica literaria contemporánea. Se muestra que la noción de identidad pasa desde la arbitrariedad hasta la teorización.

Bibliographic and field research, analytical and deductive methods were used, the same ones that allowed determining the current supply, demand and positioning of this product.Results: The market study established that 97 % of the total respondents would be willing to consume natural Greek yogurt.Discussion: This type of study allows obtaining information about the segment and the niche that you want to persuade, and even allows you to know the level of profitability that the project will have.Conclusions: With the application of the marketing mix, it was determined that the product will be promoted through led screens and, in turn, will be offered through social networks.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has modified all aspects of social life, and led to a rethinking of ways of living. In the case of professional training, experiences with the implementation of distance education and long-standing face-to-face education in universities have advised assessing the need and relevance of implementing the hybrid training model.Materials and methods: This article analyzes the challenges that this implies and proposes how to promote self-management of learning in the new context based on bibliographic analysis, the assessment of pedagogical experiences of the educational community, as surveys of University State Peninsula of Santa Elena students.Results: The face-to-face and distance models that should be in the hybrid model are autonomous and self-located learning, collaboration, evaluation and the use of support materials in different supports. In the texts examined, there is a coincidence that both distance and hybrid education have potential for self-management of learning, since in both the process is centered on learning, which favors autonomous, meaningful, and collaborative learning.Discussion: The hybrid model of education constitutes not only a necessity but also a didactic alternative that allows combining the possibilities offered by the face-to-face model and distance education for self-managed learning.Conclusions: The implementation of the hybrid training model opens up a wide range of possibilities for the training process to promote self-management of learning, but at the same time it poses a challenge for universities and their cloisters.
