The Uniform's Dilemma Freedom of Expression vs. Discipline in the Peruvian Police

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This research analyzes the legal effects of recognizing the right to opinion and expression for members of the Peruvian National Police. It reaffirms that this fundamental right, enshrined in the Constitution, is inherent to every citizen, including police officers. The study argues that guaranteeing this right is crucial for a democratic society, allowing officers to participate in public debate, express professional concerns, and contribute to the development of the institution and the country. However, this right entails responsibilities, such as respecting the law, internal discipline, and the veracity of information. The ultimate objective is to advocate for a police force whose fundamental rights are respected, balancing free expression with the obligations inherent to their function.

Teaching Experience in Mobility: A Phenomenological Study

Luis Manuel González García, Juan Jesús Velasco Orozco, Ana Lilia Vera Gonzaga — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Mobility is the axis of this study. It displays the Lived Experiences of 15 teachers abroad. The research documented those experiences from a qualitative perspective. This goal was achieved through the re-construction of descriptions about what happened to the educators. The descriptions do not only account what they said; they are passages that enabled a wide reading of the distinctive events they confronted, as they recall them. The problem statement was constructed by interweaving what appeared about mobility based on the interviews. The word mobility was dialogized through the ideas of some classic and contemporary phenomenologists. Nonetheless, the approach of Edmund Husserl and Alfred Shütz should be emphasized as the leading axis of the book, together with the manifestation of their ideas in current phenomenologists.

In addition, mixing the sludge with palm kernel cake improved its nutritional profile. Although it is viable for dairy cattle, its high fiber content limits its use in beef cattle. The research highlights the importance of controlling drying to take advantage of this by-product in the livestock industry.

The Invisible Legacy. How Family Ties Determine Success in Business Succession

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Family businesses play a key role in the global economy, accounting for a large part of the business structure in countries around the world. Their continuity over generations depends, to a large extent, on good strategic planning. The objective has been to construct and statistically validate, through regression analysis, a model that examines how the quality of family relationships and the affective commitment of the successor influence the achievement of a successful succession. Surveys were conducted with predecessors and successors belonging to 381 family businesses in the non-manufacturing sector located in the department of Lambayeque. The validity and reliability of the measurement scales were verified using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, obtaining values above 0.7 in all cases. Likewise, the results showed that success in family business succession is strongly influenced by the quality of the affective relationship between predecessor and successor, rather than by a commitment based on obligation. A relationship based on respect, trust and communication encourages the voluntary involvement of the predecessor in the formation of the successor. Family models such as the democratic one strengthen affective commitment, while authoritarian styles limit the autonomous development of the successor. This leads to the conclusion that the transmission of leadership is more successful when there are healthy family ties from childhood. Normative commitment, on the other hand, does not significantly favor succession success.

Who gains from flower exports in Ecuador? Plant varieties, innovation and international trade

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Agricultural innovation is a fundamental pillar for the economic growth of nations, especially in developing countries. Therefore, in the Ecuadorian flower sector, plant varieties represent a strategic factor for diversifying the productive offer and strengthening competitiveness in international markets. Under this premise, the purpose of this book is to evaluate the effect of plant varieties on Ecuadorian rose exports during the period 2007-2021, providing information for a diagnosis of innovation in Ecuador. A descriptive analysis reveals a structural asymmetry in the scientific-technological development of the sector, reflected in the predominance of foreign varieties. Subsequently, the statistical study shows fluctuating trends in plant varieties and exports. Finally, the multiple linear regression model corroborates that there are factors that significantly influence rose exports, such as varieties from Germany and Ecuadorian R&D expenditure. These findings lead to the conclusion that the floriculture sector is dependent on foreign knowledge, a circumstance that limits the development of its own innovative capabilities. In this context, the hegemonic sui generis system of Plant Breeders’ Rights acts as a control mechanism for the benefit of the creation of monopolies that condition the competitiveness of emerging economies. Against this backdrop, the research offers academics, businessmen and public policy makers a critical vision to overcome technological dependence in strategic sectors, strengthen innovation ecosystems and move towards a knowledge economy.

Professional identity in tutoring: absences, interactions, constructions and deconstructions.

Jennifer Quiroz Fragoso — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Considering tutoring as an extension of classroom activities, to develop activities integrated into the teaching-learning process, should be a key element that defines the direction of the change that is intended to give to university education at the Metropolitan Polytechnic University of Hidalgo, suggesting this because, although it is often stated that tutoring is another section of teaching, reality shows that intentions do not always correspond with reality and that in practice clear distinctions are established between both activities, so that in the case of teachers they act in a specific way, which allows them to build their scientific and daily knowledge, in this case about the tutorial action and everything that entails the development of this from the conception that the student and the teacher involved in it have, to the training, functions and actions that are taken to implement it. The problem centers on the search for convergent points of view, common expectations, and shared understandings between teachers and students that enable better tutoring. Most of the studies analyzed tend to reflect differences of opinion and perspective, without attempting to find spaces for negotiation, and where there seems to be nothing but conflicting opinions. On the one hand, teachers refer to their students using stereotypes that their teaching practice and experience later confirm; on the other, students channel their anxiety and frustrated expectations toward the teacher who exercises a more powerful role in the teaching-learning process.

Against Positive Psychology. Althusserian and Lacanian critique of neoliberal psychology

Luis Pablo López-Ríos — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This book aims to elucidate the relationship between psychology and neoliberal capitalism. The fundamental assumption is the existence of a neoliberal turn in psychology, whose paradigmatic form is Positive Psychology. This work draws upon the theoretical horizons of Marxism and psychoanalysis, particularly althusserian Marxism and Lacanian psychoanalysis. After describing the historical, economic, political, and subjective characteristics of neoliberal capitalism, a symptomatic reading is proposed to analyze the discourse of Positive Psychology. This reading reveals the structural origin of this psychology and its ideological functions, leading to the deduction that Positive Psychology is an over-determined effect of the neoliberal capitalist structure. The structural truth of psychology is emphasized, followed by a reappraisal of the anti-psychological theories of the subject inherited from Marx and Freud, and later taken up by Lacan and Althusser, as critical tools to resist psychologization and capitalist ideology.

Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The problem faced by many consumers is based on prioritizing the acquisition of luxury goods or recognized brands as symbols of success, which can lead to personal financial imbalances. The objective of this scientific work is to examine the relationship between conspicuous consumption, brand preferences, and their impact on the economic stability of consumers in Ecuador's Zone 3 region. Using a theoretical and empirical approach, the study addresses the phenomenon of conspicuous consumption from its historical roots to its current expressions, enhanced by globalization and social media. Psychological and sociocultural factors that drive this type of consumption are analyzed, such as the need for belonging, social comparison, and self-esteem, in addition to the central role of advertising in creating aspirations. Brand preferences are also explored as a key element in purchasing decisions, highlighting their ability to generate trust, differentiation, and emotional connections. The importance of branding in the perception of a product's value, beyond its functionality, is emphasized, and how it influences each stage of the purchasing process is shown. In the context of Zone 3 of Ecuador, the case study reveals how these dynamics affect consumers' financial well-being, especially in sectors where conspicuous consumption has been adopted as a symbol of success. The text concludes with recommendations to encourage conscious, sustainable consumption aligned with better personal financial management, promoting financial education and ethical marketing strategies that prioritize real value over appearance.

Between competence and preferences. Yacon in the diabetic diet

Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This book explores the consumption of natural products, focusing on yacon as an option for the treatment of diabetes. Despite its benefits, yacon is consumed mainly because of recommendations from family and friends, and not because of its recognition in the market. The aim is to understand what factors affect its positioning among diabetics in Piura. Using a mixed approach, competing products and consumer preferences were identified. The findings reveal that the profile of consumers, who are mostly male, professionally educated and engaged in various occupations, does not significantly influence how yacon is perceived. In contrast, radish, turmeric and turnip negatively affect its positioning. Ultimately, the results do not validate the initial model proposed to understand these dynamics in the diabetic market.

The importance of out-of-court conciliation in access to the judiciary

Carlos César Cueva Alcántara — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

When a Conciliation process begins, the Conciliation Center appoints a conciliator responsible for the process, who then invites the parties to a Single Conciliation Hearing, setting the date and time for it. On many occasions, one of the parties does not attend, due to a lack of knowledge of the benefits of the process. This fact has caused concern among the various centers and especially among the conciliators, since they mention that their advisors advise them not to attend. Those who work as Extrajudicial Conciliators cannot be oblivious to this concern, and this generates an urgent need to carry out this work. In this way, we can contribute from our “battle post” to the dissemination of conciliation and ensure that those invited to conciliate and the general public know the importance of conciliation, avoiding in some way the constant absences of the parties to the hearings. The reasons given above lead to clearing up the uncertainty that has become the ignorance of potential users of the conciliation route; but fundamentally, to exhort those legal professionals who are, by nature, the first advisors of potential users of conciliation; to recognize that conciliation is not only a requirement for admissibility, but also a mechanism for resolving disputes. Therefore, it is obliged to effectively and broadly inform about the virtues and deficiencies of all those mechanisms with which a conflict can be resolved without resorting to judicial means. In this way, users will be able to decide on the mechanism they consider appropriate.

University teachers play an important role in the training of students, that is, their role as trainer, advisor and tutor is essential to develop new research and publications of research papers, even scientific articles. We sought to explain the incidence of the teaching methodology for the improvement of research skills in postgraduate students. The work is of a basic descriptive and explanatory type, with a sample of 150 students. The results of the teaching methodology were regular in 47%, deficient in 36% and efficient in 17%. Regarding the development of investigative skills, in which 66% are regular, 24% are deficient and 10% are efficient. Furthermore, the teaching methodology explains the development of investigative skills in 19%. Concluding that the Pearson coefficient is 0.119, very low and positive, explaining a very low incidence between the variables, where the teaching methodology is poor to develop research skills in postgraduate students, confirming the research hypothesis.

Publicity in judicial auctions: efficiency and speed in foreclosure proceedings

Shirley Alicia Purizaca Sandoval — Sat, 28 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This book analyzes the regulations and practice of judicial auctions, with special emphasis on the provisions on publicity established in article 733 of the Peruvian Civil Procedure Code. From a critical and legal perspective, the problems arising from current advertising methods that are far from new technological trends are developed, which contributes to unnecessary procedural delay, the nullity of auctions, which negatively impacts procedural speed. The work highlights the importance of effective publicity as a necessary input to guarantee transparency and participation in judicial auctions, and also identifies the limitations of the current regulatory framework, which frequently result in frustration of auctions or procedural annulments. In addition, a comparative analysis is carried out with legal systems in Spain, Argentina and Colombia, presenting proposals to improve Peruvian regulations and reduce execution times. The methodology used combines doctrinal and regulatory analysis with an empirical approach that includes case studies and recent statistics, allowing the impact of legal provisions on procedural speed and effectiveness to be evaluated. Likewise, a specific reform proposal is made to the Peruvian regulatory framework to optimize the use of advertising in judicial auctions, thus seeking to guarantee a balance between transparency, access and speed. This book is an essential resource for jurists, legislators and legal operators interested in modernizing enforcement processes and promoting a more efficient and fair judicial system.

Socioeconomic factors and accessibility to mental health services in Ecuador

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

People living in precarious conditions or in vulnerable situations face a greater risk of developing mental disorders. Limited access to mental health services, due to socioeconomic barriers, exacerbates this situation. Improving living conditions and ensuring equitable access to mental health care is crucial for reducing the prevalence of these disorders. The current context, marked by economic crises, social issues, and increasing uncertainty, raises the prevalence of mental disorders, making the study of access to mental health services necessary. This study aims to analyze how various socioeconomic factors influence access to mental health services. A mixed-methods approach is used, employing descriptive, correlational, and explanatory statistics to gain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. The research is based on a sample of 24,683 individuals from the National Survey of Health and Nutrition (ENSANUT), addressing variables such as area of residence, gender, age, ethnicity, marital status, education level, employment, and psychological issues. Through bivariate correlation and binary logistic regression using Wald's backward method, a significant relationship was identified between socioeconomic status and access to mental health care. Individuals with lower socioeconomic status are less likely to access mental health services and have a higher prevalence of psychological issues compared to those with higher socioeconomic status. This inequity has serious implications for mental health and overall well-being, highlighting the need for public policies that address the identified barriers.

Complex thinking and learning, of organizations in the real, dynamic, and intelligible world

Santiago Esteban Contreras Aranda, Bertha Ulloa Rubio, Alfonso Pérez Salvatierra — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

We are witnessing a century where scientific thinking is at a dead end, being at stake the future of humanity. On the one hand, the mechanistic, reductionist, linear thinking and on the other, the proclamation of freedom, the decision considering interconnectivity, circularity, uncertainty, diffusivity, the fractional and diffuse operators, and the blurred dissipative processes, which are caused by a disorder of the complex organizational structure that raise the main business, and the new systematization of the complexity of organizations. The consideration of this new paradigm in the different scientific theoretical bodies has its repercussions, since uncertainty and chaos are no longer unpredictable, and the relationships between causes and effects are no longer entirely determinable. Complexity considers the new emerging paradigm as the cell of the business organization, that is, of the Real, Consensual, Organizational, Dynamic, Sensitive and Intelligible World that had its significant brand, taking into account that it is a complex living system, functionally interconnected, presenting an indispensable character, in such a way that the old values dominated by the weight of determinism, positivism, the notions of order and control are inadequate phenomena to understand the real world of the present XXI century, where its elements are related by Systematizing, Socializing and Hierarchizing knowledge.

Theoretical-methodological model for the study of subjectivity in university students

Luis Arturo Guerrero Azpeitia — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Starting from the premise that both subjectivity and objectivity are not only part of the same reality, but that one cannot be understood or explained without the other, this book presents an approach to the study of subjectivity, particularly in university students. To this end, the training of university students from a perspective of subjectivity is based on a series of arguments and reflections that allow contextualizing, from a sociocultural position, features of subjectivity such as emotions, values, ethics and gender equity. Subsequently, theoretical-conceptual positions on subjectivity and objectivity are reviewed, seen even in an antagonistic way by a sector of specialists, but also and primarily, it focuses on a relational perspective, even dialectical between them, it is in this context that Bourdieu's theory of the economics of social practices is recovered as an articulating axis for the integration of a theoretical-methodological model of approach to the study of the subjectivity. This model integrates, on the one hand, a comparative perspective, as well as quantitative techniques such as multivariate analysis, but also recovers qualitative techniques such as interviews and interpretative frameworks; In this way, it is recognized that objectivity based on the objective sense together with subjectivity conceptualized through the sense of what is lived are elements that allow us to address the social practices of the agents. In this way, by integrating both positions, the sociological and the comparative method, mediated by multivariate analysis techniques, they facilitate an articulation that, in the researcher's view, represents a possibility of constructing the data in that object of study where spatio-temporality plays a relevant role. In this context, the theoretical-methodological model presented here is an alternative for the researcher who sees the need to better articulate the theory on which his research is based and the method he has selected, especially when the theoretical bet has a dynamic, relational character and with a strong link with the spatio-temporality of the object itself.

The book consists of two chapters, both delving into diverse content with a sociolinguistic approach to “knowing how to speak” and the cultural process through play as an inherent part of human development. The second chapter focuses on the analysis of Quechua terms and their process of becoming integrated into Spanish across all districts of the Cajamarca region. This involves assessing acculturation, transculturation, and hybridization as human actions and social products. Both play and language represent the iconic situation of the title: “Interculturality and Everyday Speech in Cajamarca,” which directly addresses the very unique state of humanity in its “knowing how to be” and “knowing how to do.” The significant practice of toponymy is also presented as part of Cajamarca's cultural identity, demonstrating how the social process becomes a discreet and enduring construction. Finally, it concludes with a glossary of Quechua terms that still noticeably persist in the “knowing how to speak.”

Study of the legal status of Irregular Companies. Research in a Peruvian university

Carlos César Cueva Alcántara — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This research book focuses on analyzing the legal personality of irregular corporations in Peru. For this purpose, the General Law of Corporations has been reviewed, paying special attention to the part that refers to the incorporation and registration of these companies in the SUNARP. In particular, we have studied the causes of irregularity established by our legislation both in those companies that are born formal and become irregular over time, as well as in those that are born as irregular in fact. The objective is to examine irregular companies and to understand what legal personality is assigned to them in relation to the commercial operations they carry out with third party consumers, who are usually the most vulnerable party in these transactions. The pandemic has generated an increase in informal enterprises, so it is important to encourage formality in the incorporation of companies and promote the integration of corporate, tax and registry law. In this way, the creation of companies will be facilitated through the connection between Sunat and the Public Registries.

Vinasse. Evaluation of its impact on a crop field

Tue, 17 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The application of vinasse on clay soils can be highly beneficial for potassium content, as demonstrated in this research. Two different doses of vinasse (0, 100, 200 and 300 m3/ha/year) were evaluated, and it was found that potassium content increased, especially in the surface layers of 0-250 mm and 250-500 mm depth. In addition, the application of vinasse at increasing doses of 30, 60, 90, 120 and 220 m³/ha increased the available potassium and manganese of the soil at a depth of 0-30 cm. The use of vinasse as a source of nutrients in sugarcane cultivation is a viable alternative in alcohol and sugar production systems, which reduces problems of contamination of water bodies, replaces mineral fertilization as a source of K for sugarcane and reduces the cost of production per ton of sugarcane. However, it is important to keep in mind that overdosing in very sandy soils or soils with near-surface nappes can cause leaching of nitrates and chlorides along with potassium into the groundwater. Fertigation with vinasse can increase the productivity of sugarcane fields and contributes to essential nutrient recycling.

Organizational strategy and archetypes. An epistemological and bibliometric approach

Alexandra Tatiana Valle Alvarez — Sat, 30 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Organizational strategy is of special importance in the new business approaches and in the administrative management processes, so its study at academic and business level is constantly increasing. Finding the right strategy becomes a crossroads when the environment is volatile and uncertain, due to changing customer needs, consumer conditions, competition, among other aspects. This is why formulating a strategy that meets the conditions of viability and feasibility is a challenge for organizations. Globally, most companies seek alternatives to remain a "going concern", so the diversity of approaches and empirical methods trigger different results in the same context. Internally, it is easy for organizations to make mistakes, so managers must constantly monitor the progress of their structures and strategies to achieve efficiency, effectiveness and productivity. For decades, the unification of the academic and research fields has provided organizations with components that allow them to obtain an adequate strategic direction. Environmental perspectives and effective recommendations contribute to decision making and therefore to the achievement of objectives, however, these actions are not adapted by all, most organizations do not delimit their actions or objectively assess their effects, which is an impediment to organizational development.

We believe that the deepening of neoliberal capitalism, which is currently being allowed to fall upon the unresolved tensions of the State and society dialectic in our America, is marked by the historical persistence of diverse modalities of colonialism that continue to operate. Faced with this, part of the subjects affected by the consequences of capitalist plunder and its colonial logic have reacted strongly, and from their own organizational traditions, are disrupting the conventional sense of political participation in Latin America.
Given the need to understand our America, each of the texts in this book seeks to contribute with analytical keys that allow us to go beyond the conceptual binomial of dispossession and resistance to understand the complexity of their intertwining, tensions and forms of resolution.
With this we want to contribute to the academy and to the community and popular movements with which we work and are part of, with ideas and approaches that can be useful to analyze some of the underlying intersections between community, colonialism and capital. In doing so, we want to contribute to understanding their deployment on a continental scale without losing sight of the specificity of the forms and responses that have been articulated from diverse political experiences in the last three decades.

Linking and punishing. Genealogy of organized crime

José Luis Arriaga Ornelas — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

This is an essay that identifies the power mechanics characteristic of the twenty-first century. He performs a genealogical analysis in the Nietzsche-Foucault style, applied to the case of organized crime. It focuses on the criminal punishment applied to this type of criminal behavior because it is one of the emergency surfaces of bond-based subjection: a mechanism to control and exercise power by following the knowledge of relationship systems.

The text allows us to understand the operation of this mechanism from the intersection between fields of power and a type of knowledge. It also illustrates the operation of this mechanism in other emergency surfaces, such as the company and the measures adopted to control the pandemic caused by SARS-Cov-2.

The exercise is part of the discussion on the political history of knowledge and the constitution of truth regimes.

Systemic Model for the Formulation of Improvement Plans in Regular Basic Education and Technical and Productive Education

Mileydi Flores Fernández, Elmer Llanos Díaz — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

This text describes the procedure for the formulation of improvement plans in Regular Basic Education and Productive Technical Education Centers under a systemic approach. To strengthen these capacities, the IPEBA self-evaluation matrix has been implemented to obtain valuable information regarding the conditions our teachers have to self-evaluate and propose plans with this comprehensive approach. The program begins with a preliminary stage aimed at motivating the importance of self-evaluation and making institutional improvements within the framework of the educational accreditation process, and then applying the information gathering instruments to a sample of teachers, students, parents, and administrative personnel, The team analyzed them in each educational institution with the participation of its community, finding that the factors are in a level of little progress, hence some techniques were developed as matrices of causes, matrices of improvement plans that originate in a correlational pentagon that takes as factors: Support to teaching performance, Infrastructure and resources for learning, institutional direction, use of information, joint work with families and the community, which will finally serve as input for the formulation of improvement plans. Likewise, the dynamic team prioritizes the standards that are in the level of little progress, they make the respective compilation for the edition of the functional book "Improvement plans in EBR and CETPRO".

Self-evaluation model at the Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo de Zaña - Lambayeque Educational Institution. A case study

Mileydi Flores Fernández, Elmer Llanos Díaz — Sun, 28 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000

This book deals with the application of an educational quality self-evaluation model for the Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo Educational Institution - Zaña. This public educational institution is going through a series of problems that result in a low level of quality in the educational service, which makes it necessary to implement the improvement process for accreditation purposes, a situation that begins with self-evaluation; Even so, it must be recognized that there is a scenario of scarce progress in educational quality standards, the exclusion experienced by many students due to their cultural or social condition, and a punitive understanding of evaluation, still installed in the imaginary of teachers, considers it pertinent to specify the approaches that nurture self-evaluation around their particular understanding of educational quality, equity, inclusion and interculturality and evaluation. Among the chapters developed we have the school organization and the state of the art in relation to self-evaluation processes in the educational sector, the collection of qualitative and quantitative information, as well as the intervention process to develop teaching and management capacities from a systemic point of view.

Emerging properties in the object of study of organizations. The Case of Sociology of Organizations

Augusto Renato Pérez Mayo, Nohemí Roque Nieto — Wed, 24 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000

The book's content is the result of a reflection on the nature of sociology and organizational theory. Many of the approaches and ideas presented in it have already been expounded by us and by other authors. What is new is that faced with the search for a theoretical consolidation for the analysis of organizations, we propose new elements or emergent properties to their object of study, based on the theory of social systems and contributions from the new biology. Every object of study has a theory of society and a philosophy of science behind it. The artifacts or conceptual tools have a mutual relationship with their Object of Study; if the Object of Study of the Social Sciences is human beings and their interrelations, we are talking about living beings, which in turn respond to biological phenomena, which must be analyzed with theoretical tools (concepts, categories, premises) of biology, or complemented with biology. Current societies are characterized by the emergencies that arise in their midst, produced as a result of the changes of symmetry that are characteristic of complexity. Kadanoff (1991) mentions that emergence is the essential characteristic of complexity; it is the appearance of unexpected and unexplained structures and/or patterns in complex systems. These emergencies require transdisciplinary theoretical corpuses that can explain them. The theoretical proposal presented here seeks to contribute, in this sense, to the introduction of concepts such as social hypervariability, social genetics, and generational behavioral sequence mechanisms.

Theoretical and practical fundamentals in the area of communication

Scientific research. An epistemic, creative and intellectual adventure

Mon, 27 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000

It is a reality that scientific research has become an intellectual challenge, both for training institutions and for practicing professionals, it is a proven reality that professional careers must assume as a transversal axis the study of scientific research as an essential part of training. The purpose is recognized in the need to provide a theoretical and methodological reference for the development of educational research. The theoretical systematization carried out allowed the approach of the topics and the understanding of the research process in a holistic, logical and transforming way. That is, to understand that the Methodology of Scientific Research is one, with its specificities according to the areas of knowledge; its transforming results and contributors to the enrichment of the concrete historical-social practice depend on the research logic with which the research process is developed, on the flexibility, commitment and the evaluative analyses that are carried out, from ethical positions and social and human commitment. Precisely, the scientific result must be in function of the creation of material or spiritual goods, it must be shared with the community of researchers, and not, for a determined group of interests, that many times feel more attacked than favored, it must be understood as a value of a concrete social historical moment, from integrationist and transforming conceptions, with inclusive approaches, of equity and social interaction that provides sustainable solutions with the purpose of solving socioeconomic, political, cultural and ecological problems.

Processes of text production

Thu, 09 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000

The book develops the process of textual production considering some ideas that allow creative writing, hence the debate on the nature of information and how it allows or denies the possibility of writing academic texts. On the other hand, it is important to consider that it is about the analysis of information using two capacities whose sinergy is important because it is about the cognition that predisposes to writing. It is about the analysis of the word as an indivisible unit and its relationships with others within a discourse in which ideas emerge indistinctly. Both analysis and synthesis are two cognitive processes that are defined as their own categories to generate knowledge; that is, reading analytically implies writing from the same perspective. There are moments in which synthesis is the consequence or at the same time is the process as a starting point for writing, thus it can be considered that writing texts is the categorical symbiosis of analysis and synthesis respectively. In "Procesos de producción textual. Critical reading and writing for academic text creation" it is considered that analysis and synthesis are cognitive processes of high cognitive demand that associate common sense and the process of critical reading to create academic texts.

Philosophy and Educational Theory. An epistemological relationship

José Nava Bedolla — Wed, 30 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

In this work there are a series of epistemological elements (such as the problems of knowledge that the knowing subject faces when pretending to know any reality, the cognitive faculties with which he tries to solve them, the ontological principles that he uses for it, the philosophical assumptions in which it is located when doing the latter, among others) that allow exploring, describing, explaining, interpreting or understanding the relationship between philosophy and educational theory in such a way that it is understood why the mappings (the definition, the characteristics , the function, the purpose, the causes, the consequences, the elements, the classification, and others) that are carried out from the different psychological theories applied to education on some educational concepts (such as the goals of education, the concept of learning, the role of the teacher, the concept of student, motivation, teaching methodology, evaluation, among many more) s They are different and even contradictory between one theory and another. From a definition of the concept called with the term "philosophy", built for this purpose, the aforementioned epistemological elements are derived, which are used to establish the relationships between philosophy and educational theory, contemplating, for reasons of extension of this work, only the relationships between philosophy and two of the psychological theories that have most influenced educational work: behaviorism and humanism. The epistemological elements are related to each other and to the mapping of some educational concepts, in such a way that it is possible to conclude the epistemological dependence of educational theory on philosophy.

The Frankfurt School and the deconstruction of technical reason in Horkheimer, Marcuse and Fromm

Javier Jaimes Cienfuegos — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000

The present work aims to analyze the concept of reason in 20th century technological societies, based on three of the greatest representatives of the Frankfurt school: Horkheimer, Fromm and Marcuse, who carried out a critical theory based on the political, economic and philosophical bases. The Frankfurt school revalues the intellectual role created by capitalist instances; warns of the impossibility of a critical theory based on technoscience, since a subjective consciousness of an objective oppressive reality cannot be formed.

The Thinking Spirit. Engels on his bicentenary

Mon, 27 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000

It is still insufficient the debate that has been opened around the value of the work left by Engels and little the revaluation of his work and his original contribution. This is the reason why the effort summarized in this book is of greater relevance.

The book is composed of five essays that present a renewed vision of our author; fresh views that update some aspects of the work of Friedrich Engels, issues that undoubtedly remain relevant and open ways to deepen the study of the contributions of the German revolutionary.

Sustainability and political economics of water in Morelos

Josemanuel Luna-Nemecio — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000

The subordination of global environmental policy to the Sustainable Development Goals present in the 2030 Agenda has produced various epistemological transfigurations and theoretical and methodological biases that make it difficult to conduct critical studies on water resources. Faced with this problem, this book seeks to move away from the sweetened perspective of the environmental crisis present in the dominant discourse of sustainable development; therefore, it starts from the critique of political economy and a counter-hegemonic perspective of sustainability to recognize that the water policy implemented in Mexico during neoliberalism has caused a complication of the economy and politics of water in the state of Morelos. In this book, we find a reconstruction of the complex puzzle that represents the power relations between the actors involved in the process of management, administration, and management of water resources in the state of Morelos. In addition, it exposes the implications of the bias in the official accounting of water availability carried out by the Mexican State during neoliberalism. This allows us to recognize, in the first place, the interests present in the relationship between individuals, communities, institutions, and social groups that have rights and responsibilities regarding water management in Morelos. And, secondly, it allows us to recognize a reality that is illustrative of the entire Mexican territory, as well as of Latin America as a whole; for throughout these territories, dispossession and plundering have been experienced as part of the development of contemporary capitalism.
