Percepciones de la comunicación no verbal y el liderazgo transformacional en docentes y estudiantes de un instituto superior privado de diseño gráfico de Lima en el periodo 2020-II

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo describir cuáles son las percepciones de la comunicación no verbal y el liderazgo transformacional en docentes y estudiantes de un Instituto Superior Privado de Diseño Gráfico de Lima, en el periodo 2020-II. La investigación tiene un enfoque de tipo cualitativo, alcance descriptivo y diseño fenomenológico. La población estuvo conformada por 35 estudiantes y 5 docentes de la carrera de Diseño Gráfico. El tipo de muestra fue no probabilística por conveniencia, por lo que se determinó trabajar con 13 estudiantes y 3 docentes, a quienes se les aplicó una entrevista. Los docentes y estudiantes perciben que emplean la comunicación no verbal. Sin embargo, los movimientos corporales empleados por los docentes no se alinean en su totalidad a la teoría y práctica de las categorías, dificultando la retroalimentación y comprensión de la clase. Al mejorar esto, ayudará a que el mensaje sea claro y preciso. Por otro lado, los docentes y estudiantes en su mayoría perciben el empleo del liderazgo transformacional que motiva a su desenvolvimiento a través de una comunicación abierta de manera individual y grupal. Sin embargo, otros, han percibido que aún hay vacíos de información, respuestas inconclusas que quiebran la confianza entre ambos para seguir con el vínculo en la clase. Se concluye que los docentes y estudiantes de un instituto superior de la carrera de diseño gráfico de Lima, perciben ambas variables con desconocimiento de lo que implica el uso de cada una de las categorías que lo componen mostrando ausencia de lo teórico y práctico.This research aims to describe the perceptions of non-verbal communication and transformational leadership in teachers of a Private Higher Institute of Graphic Design in Lima, in the period 2020-II. The research has a qualitative approach, descriptive scope and phenomenological design. The population consisted of 35 students and 5 teachers from the Graphic Design career. The type of sample was non-probabilistic for convenience; therefore, it was determined to work with 13 students and 3 teachers, who were interviewed. Teachers and students perceive that they use non-verbal communication. However, the body movements used by teachers do not fully align with the theory and practice of the categories, making feedback and understanding difficult in the class. By improving this, you will help make the message clear and accurate. Likewise, students perceive that their teachers use transformational leadership that motivates their development and confidence through open communication individually. The creative stimulation that teachers use to motivate their students with various tools is also perceived. On the other hand, teachers and students mostly perceive the use of transformational leadership that motivates their development through open communication individually and in groups. However, others have perceived that there are still information gaps, inconclusive answers that break the trust between both to continue with the bond in the class. It is concluded that teachers and students of a higher institute of the graphic design career in Lima, perceive both variables with ignorance of what the use of each of the categories that compose it implies, showing absence of the theoretical and practical.Escuela de Postgrad

Ambition meets reality:Achieving GHG emission reduction targets in the livestock sector of Latin America

Livestock production is a very relevant source of income and agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Mexico, and Peru. Several management and technological options with enteric methane mitigation potential have been evaluated and their scaling is anticipated to contribute toward achieving GHG emission reduction targets in the framework of the Paris Agreement. Yet, widespread adoption of promising mitigation options remains limited, raising questions as to whether envisaged emission reduction targets are achievable. Using findings from local studies, we explore the mitigation potentials of technologies and management practices currently proposed to mitigate enteric methane emissions from cattle production systems in the higher emitting countries of Latin America. We then discuss barriers for adopting innovations that significantly reduce cattle-based enteric methane emissions and the major shifts in policy and practice that are needed to raise national ambitions in the high emitting countries. Using the latest science and current thinking, we provide our perspective on an inclusive approach and re-imagine how the academic, research, business and public policy sectors can support and incentivize the changes needed to raise the level of ambition and achieve sustainable development goals (SDG), considering actions from the farm to the national scale

Strategies to achieve the GHG Mitigation Goals of the livestock sector in Latin America

Livestock production is a fundamental source of income and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Latin American countries. 20 percent of the region's emissions come from agriculture, 70 percent of which comes from livestock. There are several management and technology options with enteric methane mitigation potential that have been evaluated and their scale is expected to contribute to achieving the GHG emission reduction targets under the Paris Agreement. These technologies include management of the animal diet, reproductive control, administration of supplements, and reduction of the age at slaughter, among others. However, widespread adoption of promising mitigation options remains limited, raising questions about whether the planned emission reduction targets are achievable. Using the results of local studies, we have explored the mitigation potentials of currently proposed management technologies and practices to mitigate enteric methane emissions from livestock production systems in Latin American countries with the highest emissions. We then discuss the barriers to adopting innovations that significantly reduce enteric methane emissions from livestock and the main changes in policies and practices necessary to raise national ambitions in high-emission countries. Drawing on today's latest science and thought, we take our perspective to an inclusive approach and reimagine how the academic, research, business and public policy sectors can support and incentivize the changes necessary to raise the level of ambition and achieve goals of sustainable development, taking into account actions from the farm to the national scale. Some improvements identified and that need to be made are improving access to information through effective technology transfer plans, access to financial products by small producers, and establishing seed multiplication systems for fodder materials

European contribution to the study of ROS: A summary of the findings and prospects for the future from the COST action BM1203 (EU-ROS)

The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) provides an ideal framework to establish multi-disciplinary research networks. COST Action BM1203 (EU-ROS) represents a consortium of researchers from different disciplines who are dedicated to providing new insights and tools for better understanding redox biology and medicine and, in the long run, to finding new therapeutic strategies to target dysregulated redox processes in various diseases. This report highlights the major achievements of EU-ROS as well as research updates and new perspectives arising from its members. The EU-ROS consortium comprised more than 140 active members who worked together for four years on the topics briefly described below. The formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) is an established hallmark of our aerobic environment and metabolism but RONS also act as messengers via redox regulation of essential cellular processes. The fact that many diseases have been found to be associated with oxidative stress established the theory of oxidative stress as a trigger of diseases that can be corrected by antioxidant therapy. However, while experimental studies support this thesis, clinical studies still generate controversial results, due to complex pathophysiology of oxidative stress in humans. For future improvement of antioxidant therapy and better understanding of redox-associated disease progression detailed knowledge on the sources and targets of RONS formation and discrimination of their detrimental or beneficial roles is required. In order to advance this important area of biology and medicine, highly synergistic approaches combining a variety of diverse and contrasting disciplines are needed
