Abstract: This article analyzes the centrality of public security and justice policies in Latin America and the Caribbean based on various theoretical research techniques (documental and bibliographical analysis) and fieldwork (“in loco” visits and participant observations), undertaken between 2015 and 2021. It starts from the assumption that violence and insecurities are approached as a flagrant obstacle to human development and the consolidation of the rule of law in the region. It is identified, in the comparison of the specialized literature and in the comparative study of these public policies, the relevance of the role played by the political leadership of the State and the civic engagement of several social actors around an integrated and integral territorial governance of citizen public security policies. Despite a punitive political culture and a history of authoritarian governments in the region, there are, after all, key principles and concepts for a new type of governance of citizen security (and justice) in Brazil and in the region aimed at saving and preserve lives.

Abstract Incorporating BIM in the education of professionals has become a demand and a topic of high importance for higher education. Several proposals for a curricular implementation of BIM exist. However, in most cases, they are specific to a single university or domain, do not consider academic policies or simplify practice by segmenting knowledge. This work proposes a protocol for the curricular implementation of BIM similar to the industry, considering aspects of process, technology, and policies aligned with the educational institution's mission and with existing competencies. Action research was the used method. Three actions were conducted: (1) proposition, (2) systematization and (3) application. The actions were executed in cycles incrementally, resulting in (1) guidelines, (2) supporting tools and (3) implementation plans. Two Brazilian universities participated in pilot studies of Project Construa Brasil. The pilot studies inspired a network of BIM cells that have synchronously applied curricular BIM implementation guidelines on a large scale. The guidelines proved to be generic and comprehensive, guiding the transformation with an empirical basis for the academics' decision-making. Leadership of a BIM specialist was confirmed as an essential factor of success. It is observed that even with a timid introduction of BIM competence in a limited scope of engineering solutions, the impact on the BIM maturity curriculum is significant. exist However cases domain knowledge industry process technology institutions institution s competencies method conducted 1 (1 proposition 2 (2 3 (3 application incrementally plans Brasil scale comprehensive academics decisionmaking. decisionmaking decision making. making decision-making success solutions significant (

Abstract: This article explores how two paradigmatic publications of the Argentinean New Left, Pasado y Presente and Envido, read the ambivalence and conflicting signs of the unravelling process of social mobilization that followed the Córdoba uprising in 1969, which was marked by the withdrawal of the dictatorship and the return of Perón to power after 18 years in exile. The focus on these two magazines seeks to reveal the tensions between intellectual proposals that sought a mixture of a revolutionary way out and the historical leadership of Juan Domingo Perón. The positions taken up by Pasado y Presente and Envido are furthermore situated in a dialogue with other New Left publications that had distanced themselves from Peronism, such as Nuevo Hombre and Los Libros. This article thus aims to understand an issue that has not been emphasized in the bibliography by identifying developments that, long before the 1976 coup d’état, had revealed the defeat of the revolutionary experiences that fought for the continuity of the cycle of social mobilization seen in the sixties.

Resumen: El artículo indaga en cómo dos publicaciones paradigmáticas de la nueva izquierda argentina, como Pasado y Presente y Envido, leyeron ambivalencias y signos equívocos de deterioro en el proceso de movilización social que siguió al post Cordobazo de 1969, el cual estuvo signado por la retirada dictatorial y el retorno del peronismo al gobierno tras 18 años de proscripción. La atención dada a las dos revistas busca mostrar las tensiones en las apuestas intelectuales que buscaron una mixtura entre la salida revolucionaria y el liderazgo histórico del general Juan Domingo Perón. Además, los posicionamientos de Pasado y Presente y Envido son ubicados en un diálogo con otras publicaciones de la nueva izquierda diferenciadas del peronismo, como Nuevo Hombre y Los libros. En este aspecto, el estudio intenta mostrar un tema poco enfatizado en la bibliografía, al identificar acontecimientos que, bastante antes del golpe de Estado de 1976, evidenciaron la derrota de las experiencias revolucionarias que bregaban por la continuidad del ciclo de movilización social de los años sesenta.

Abstract Prince João assumed some protagonism in the life of the kingdom of Portugal from 1471 onwards, when he was part of the army that conquered Arzila (North Africa), and successively increased his preponderance in governance until the end of the life of his father, King Afonso V. This article describes, analyses and seeks to interpret João's “escalation” in the political leadership of the kingdom with a focus on his participation in diplomatic activities. The preponderance he achieved during the war with Castile (1475-1479) and the establishment of peace (1479-1480) stands out. This was a period in which he often acted autonomously and led political lines different from those defended by his father.

Resumo O príncipe João assumiu algum protagonismo na vida do reino de Portugal a partir de 1471, quando integrou o exército que conquistou Arzila (Norte de África), e aumentou sucessivamente a sua preponderância na governação até ao final da vida do seu pai, o rei Afonso V. Este artigo descreve, analisa e procura interpretar essa “escalada” de João na condução política do reino com foco na sua participação em atividades diplomáticas. Destaca-se a preponderância que alcançou durante a guerra com Castela (1475-1479) e o estabelecimento da paz (1479-1480), um período em que muitas vezes atuou autonomamente e protagonizando linhas políticas diferentes das que eram defendidas pelo seu pai.

The widespread effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 led to the suspension of various activities, including education. Institutions responded by shifting to online learning, albeit facing challenges. Student perceptions on online learning are valuable for academic leadership in shaping pedagogies and policies. This study examines Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology students' perceptions (n=43) of online classes during the pandemic. Findings from a descriptive online survey with convenience sampling show that students favoured advantages such as recorded lectures, access to online materials, and self-paced study. However, they highlighted drawbacks like technical issues, limited patient interaction, and reduced engagement with lecturers. Online learning was regarded as effective for enhancing knowledge than for developing clinical skills or social competencies, whilst face-to-face teaching was seen as more effective for fostering clinical skills and social competence compared to online learning. While online learning was initially seen as a response to the pandemic, its formalization as part of a blended education approach in South African universities should align with global trends.

In this article, we explore and theorise the experiences of seven SRC student leaders in one research intensive university in South Africa. We were interested in understanding / exploring / theorising the narratives of the student representative council on how they conceptualise, negotiate and navigate student leadership in a South African university. We adopted a qualitative case study and employed both semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion to generate our data. The findings from this research project revealed that the 1) SRC fundamentally believes that they are the only valid and legitimate voice for students in higher education. 2) They also revealed the emergent tensions / conflicts / frustrations between the SRC and the university, with the student leaders feeling that the university is deliberate in its effort at ensuring that students do not feel at home in the academy. And perhaps more troubling, the findings also revealed 3) that at times the SRC has become a heteronormative and patriarchal institution, were women student leaders are treated as the "black nannies" of student leadership. We end the article with some concluding thoughts on the complex and intersectional ways that the SRC socially constructs its role and function in the academy, as well as the need for a system wide overhauling in rethinking / reimagining / reconstructing student leadership beyond the colonising, patriarchal gaze.

The National Development Plan (NDP) advocates for the elimination of poverty, and the reduction of inequality by 2030. These goals can only be achieved if we harness the energies of the people, build an inclusive economy, develop skills, improve the capacity of the state and promote leadership and partnerships across society. This is to be achieved through transforming society more equitably and at the same time making the country more competitive in the global economic system. The article seeks to explore how institutions of higher learning can be transformed through the production of future professors with a developmental agenda. Therefore, the NDP advocates continuous professional development, lifelong learning and knowledge production, and innovation as a focus for building the capacity of individuals and society. The article employed the modernisation theory as a vehicle to drive social change and transformation in higher education. The article employed a systematic review of the literature on transformation and social change in higher education as advocated in the NDP. The findings of the article show that universal human development can be achieved by respecting human rights, promoting equality and empowering people to exercise the opportunities and choices they value in higher education. The article recommends that a structured interaction between lecturers and students within the context of transformative change and social justice should be prioritised in higher education. This can only be achieved through preparing the future professor with a developmental agenda to assist in shaping higher education by designing a curriculum that responds to the needs of the current cohort of students.

A eficácia escolar é uma temática consolidada no contexto internacional. No Brasil, contudo, o tema recebeu interesse apenas a partir da década de 1990. Assim, esta pesquisa objetiva realizou uma revisão sistemática da literatura recente produzida no país sobre os fatores que influenciam a eficácia escolar, no período de 2014 a 2023. Para tanto , buscaram artigos no Portal de Periódicos da CAPES e na Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), utilizando os descritores “(eficácia) e (escola*)”. Após os processos de triagem, elencaram-se 15 artigos para análise, nos quais se identificaram cinco fatores que influenciam a eficácia escolar: liderança do gestor escolar, eficácia docente, características sociodemográficas dos alunos, clima escolar e gestão democrática. Entre os fatores de influência comuns a todos os estudos estavam: desigualdades de condições de escolarização e desempenho dos alunos, associadas às suas características sociodemográficas; liderança do gestor escolar; eficácia docente; e clima escolar. Como diferenciais deste estudo, revelaram-se a importância da gestão democrática, da eficácia coletiva docente e da associação entre clima escolar e percepções de violência dos alunos, ausentes nos estudos anteriores. Sugere-se uma agenda de estudos futuros para ampliar a compreensão sobre a temática.

School effectiveness is a consolidated theme in the international context. In Brazil, however, the topic has only received interest since the 1990s. This research therefore aims to conduct a systematic review of recent literature produced in the country on the factors that affect school effectiveness from 2014 to 2023. To this end, articles were searched for on the Portal de Periódicos da CAPES and the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), using the descriptors "(eficácia) and (escola*)". After screening, 15 articles were selected for analysis, in which five factors that influence school effectiveness were identified: leadership of the school manager, teacher effectiveness, sociodemographic characteristics of the students, school climate, and democratic management. Among the influencing factors common to all the studies were: inequalities in schooling conditions and student performance, associated with their sociodemographic characteristics; leadership of the school manager; teacher effectiveness; and school climate. The importance of democratic management, collective teacher efficacy, and the association between school climate and students' perceptions of violence, which were absent in previous studies, were revealed as differential factors in this study. An agenda of future studies is suggested to broaden understanding of the subject.

Abstract: This article reports a study documenting managerial leadership within the schoolwork in tele-secondary institutions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The approach was qualitative with case study support. An exploratory stage was carried out, with the participation of management and teaching staff from the State of Veracruz, Mexico, and another in-depth stage, which resulted in the selection of two cases. The analysis presented focuses on a school principal and the center where he works; with the support of Atlas.ti, three categories were defined: teacher well-being, closeness to the students and professional learning community. The results show that what prevailed was the physical, labor and emotional well-being of teachers; the search for permanence and learning of the students, as well as the constitution of a professional learning community. We recognized that the possibility of innovation in education emerged, even amidst the health crisis.

Resumen: Este artículo presenta un estudio que documenta el liderazgo directivo dentro del trabajo escolar en telesecundaria durante la pandemia por covid-19.

Se reconoció que, en medio de la crisis sanitaria, germinó la posibilidad de innovar en la educación.

Abstract Introduction: Pre-tenure early career researchers within academic settings play an important role as catalysts for new research and methodological innovations. However, the tenure-track process can be a high-pressure experience for such faculty. Examining organic collaborations amongst new pre-tenured faculty can afford opportunities for internal capacity building. However, literature is lacking in the benefits of developing such partnerships among novice faculty members with other novice faculty members. Research Objectives: This study aimed to examine the research programs of three novice tenure-track nursing faculty members and the connections between such programs for current and future collaborations, advancement of the nursing profession and scholarship, and personal-professional growth. Methodology: Narrative Inquiry with a specific focus on self-study was utilized with participants who identify as tenure-track nursing faculty members and are also the three investigators on this study. Each participant underwent a self-reflection process directed by a question guide informed by the literature and theoretical lens of Creamer (2003), and an aspect of the Narrative Reflective Process. Participants reflections were analyzed against each other and with relevant literature for co-construction to occur, moving participants’ experiences from being an individual activity to one that can have social significance for others with diverse programs of research. Results: The study explored common narrative threads that emerged from the faculty members’ reflections: stakeholder collaboration and involvement; nursing policy, practice, and research leadership. Final Considerations: This study has demonstrated potential areas for future collaborations between novice faculty members leading to benefits for the nursing profession, nursing research and personal career growth.

Resumen Este documento examina la relación entre los consejos de administración y los modos de entrada al mercado internacional. El consejo de administración tiene la autoridad para determinar las estrategias de internacionalización tanto para grandes multinacionales como para organizaciones pequeñas y medianas. Los marcos teóricos en internacionalización proporcionan una base sólida para comprender la dinámica de los modos de entrada y la gobernanza corporativa. El estudio presenta un marco bien organizado que consta de cuatro ejes temáticos: características, capacidades, comportamiento y composición del consejo. Este marco se utiliza para analizar las complejidades de los procesos de toma de decisiones del consejo. Aunque se reconocen sus limitaciones, este estudio ofrece hallazgos prácticos para los gerentes de negocios y contribuye a la discusión teórica actual, resaltando la necesidad de marcos más profundos que tengan en cuenta factores psicológicos y culturales en la toma de decisiones del consejo en el contexto del desarrollo internacional.

Abstract This study explores the relationship between administrative advice and international market entry modes. The board of directors has the authority to determine internationalization strategies for both large multinational corporations and small and medium-sized organizations. Existing theoretical frameworks dealing with internationalization provide a strong foundation for understanding the dynamics of entry modes and corporate governance. The study presents a framework consisting of four thematic elements: characteristics, capabilities, behavior, and composition of the advice. This framework is utilized to analyze the complexities of the decision-making processes of boards. Despite acknowledging its limitations, this study provides practical insights for business managers and contributes to the ongoing theoretical debate on this topic, highlighting the need for more comprehensive frameworks that consider psychological and cultural factors in the decision-making process of boards in the context of international business.
