Responsabilidad social empresarial como base para el desarrollo sostenible en el Perú

Las actividades de responsabilidad social empresarial que ejecutan las empresas mineras peruanas han cobrado especial relevancia en los últimos años, especialmente las relacionadas con las comunidades donde operan. Algunas comunidades de las respectivas zonas de influencia de las compañías mineras han asumido un rol activo en las decisiones que comprometen su desarrollo, esta nueva forma de participación en las diferentes instancias de las juntas comunales es el resultado de la ejecución de un proyecto integral de empoderamiento a los pobladores en los cuales participaron las empresas, la sociedadcivil, el gobierno local y la comunidad. En el presente trabajo se muestra el caso de la empresa Compañía Minera Poderosa S.A., que ha ejecutado un proyecto de Gobernabilidad en el distrito de Pataz, La Libertad - Perú, el cual ha permitido capacitar y empoderar a los pobladores para que sean ellos los que tomen las decisiones mas adecuadas para su distrito. Los resultados observados del proyecto indican que la apropiada participación colectiva en las decisiones promueve el desarrollo sostenible de la comunidad.Corporate social responsibility activities launched by Peruvian mining enterprises have had particular importance in recent years, especially those connected to the communities where these companies work.

Assessment of achievement in problem-solving skills in a general chemistry course

This article reports the development and validation study of tests to assess achievements at three levels of knowledge structure, following the model proposed by Sugrue to measure problem-solving skills. This model is particularly consistent with the theoretical constructs underlying problem-based learning (PBL) methodology. The tests were constructed for a General Chemistry course in a curriculum of engineering, which implements PBL methodology at a Peruvian university. The content validation of the tests was performed, as well as a pilot implementation with Peruvian students of first year enginnering. The results obtained in omissions percentage, difficulty degree, items response pattern and the point biserial coefficient (rpb), let us to conclude that these are appropiate tools for assessing these skills, so constitute a significant contribution to future research in this line.Peer Reviewe

'Mere good taste is nothing else but genius without the power of execution': artists as arbiters of taste, 1792-1836

During the transition from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century, a sea change took place in the British art world that reflected a general shift in attitude towards the arts. Artists redefined their social status and fought for their criteria to be taken into account, acquiring a new, influential position within the artistic circles, in which the authority of theorists and connoisseurs, amateurs whose approach to the work of art was that of the collector and critic, never the creator, had been so far undisputed. Influenced by new social theories and powerful contemporary cultural movements, and motivated by the success of artists like Hogarth and Reynolds and of the Royal Academy, artists felt encouraged to stand up for and secure their artistic authority. Thus, the increasingly widespread interest in art and aesthetics throughout the eighteenth century culminated in the realisation, on the artists' part, of their importance in such matters; subsequently, the long-debated issue of the dignity of the artist was brought to the forefront and became key in the artistic discourse of turn-of-the-century Britain. We can trace the evolution of the discourse on the authority of artists from Reynolds's idea that a painter can be a gentleman despite being a painter, to Ruskin's humble acceptance, in the prologue to the first volume of Modern Painters, of the necessity to have a practical knowledge of art in order to understand it. It was a veritable revolution in art theory, a 'second renaissance' for the figure of the artist, who until then had been considered a mere craftsman. A whole tradition was being challenged, and the new language artists employed to advance their ideas was not that of theory, but practice

PROBLEMÁTICA Y ESTRATEGIAS DE RESOLUCIÓN DE LA VIVIENDA RURAL Y EL GÉNERO. CASO DE TETELA DEL VOLCÁN, MORELOS

Como un efecto estructural de la racionalidad económica prevaleciente, las condiciones laborales resultan asimétricas, sin embargo estas son particularmente importantes en el sector femenino, cuya condición social de pobreza no solo involucra el papel reproductivo y productivo en el hogar, sino las dificultades para abordarlas desde su función de jefas de familia. Dicha condición está matizada precisamente por los efectos de la pobreza y agudizada en el sector femenino, debido a ello, resulta pertinente el análisis de los patrones de gestión de la vivienda en el marco de la feminización de la pobreza, (Sassen, 2003). Para el caso nacional, existe un aumento del número de hogares dirigidos por una mujer, correspondiente al 27% del total; en zonas urbanas, este registro es del 28%, seis por ciento mayor que en las zonas rurales. Morelos en particular, es uno de los estados con mayor número de hogares con jefatura femenina a nivel nacional, con 31% solo por debajo de Sonora, Ciudad de México y Tlaxcala. (INEGI, 2015) El objeto de investigación es estudiar la participación de las mujeres en la gestión de la vivienda, particularmente en el proceso de producción y habitabilidad de la vivienda e

Xoconostle fruit (Opuntia matudae Scheinvar cv. Rosa) by-products as potential functional ingredients

There is a lack of information on the potential use of xoconostle cultivars as sources of antioxidants for food, pharmaceutical and colorant industries. The aim of this study was to provide a phytochemical characterisation and antioxidant activity evaluation of Opuntia matudae Scheinvar cv. Rosa by-products (epicarp and endocarp mucilage's), in order to evaluate their interest as sources of functional ingredients for human or animal foods. These by-products showed a high content in glucose, citric and linoleic acids, tocopherols, and isorhamnetin-O-(di-deoxyhexosyl-hexoside) (mainly in epicarp), and presented relevant antioxidant properties. The obtained results support the use of O. matudae Scheinvar cv. Rosa agro-industrial by-products as functional food ingredients, namely for antioxidant-enriched formulations, instead of being discarded.The authors are grateful to the Foundation for Science and Technology (Portugal) for financial support to CIMO (strategic project Pest-OE/AGR/UI0690/2011) and to L.
