This article sets out to explore the problem of the preparedness of lecturers in integrating a gender responsive curriculum in Community Colleges the Eastern Cape. It is essential to understand why lecturers do not incorporate a gender responsive curriculum to help Community Colleges in the Eastern Cape develop fresh approaches that will directly address the specific requirements of both males and females. This article adopts a phenomenological research design to determine lecturer's perceptions and perspectives on how well as they considered themselves ready in ensuring a gender responsive curriculum in the Community Colleges in the Eastern Cape. The methodology considered to be most suitable for grounding this study was a critical research methodology because approaches like positivism and interpretivism do not challenge inferences to increase the value of evidence collected on the ground. The required research data were gathered using semi-structured interview on eight (8) lecturers who volunteered to participate in this study. The research findings revealed that lecturers are not prepared to ensure a gender responsive curriculum in Community Colleges in the Eastern Cape. Their viewpoints therefore suggested that preparedness for the integration of a gender responsive curriculum is essential in Community Colleges.

Para tanto, foram selecionadas as obras: As causas do delito (1892) e Filosofia jurídica e social (1907), uma vez que esses textos refletem aspectos estruturais de sua marca teórica e sociológica, revelam os significados e narrativas sociais presentes, como também os grandes enunciados que dão conta do campo social.

Resumen El artículo se propone recorrer la vida y algunas de las obras de Antonio Dellepiane, quien fue el primer titular de una cátedra de sociología en la Argentina; es a partir de este hecho que se conmemora la efemérides del día del sociólogo en el país; su vida y su obra nos permiten observar las marcas socio-históricas de la Argentina de su época y de como sus ideas son importantes para dar cuenta del contexto intelectual y comprender el derrotero de la sociología argentina de aquellos años. Examinar estas tradiciones teóricas que se encarnan en la figura de Dellepiane, posibilitan comprender algunos de los debates, desafíos y rumbos teóricos de la sociología, al igual que las transformaciones que se producen en el país y de cómo estas fueron problematizados por el autor, al igual que las tradiciones e influencias teóricas que guiaran su desarrollo profesional. Para ello seleccionamos sus obras: Las causas el delito (1892) y Filosofía jurídica y social (1907), dado que estos textos reflejan aspectos estructurales de su impronta teórica y sociológica, para descubrir los sentidos y relatos sociales presentes, como también los grandes enunciados que dan cuenta del campo social.

Abstract The article aims to cover the life and some of the Works of Antonio Dellepiane, who was the first profesor to old of a chair for sociology in Argentina; it is after this fact that the anniversary of sociologist’s Day is commemorated in the country; his life and work allow us to observe the socio-historical marks of the Argentina of his time and how his ideas are important to account for the intelectual context and understand the course of Argentina sociology of those years. Examining these theoretical traditions that are embodied in the figure of Dellepiane makes it possible to understand some of the debates, challenges and theoretical directions of sociology, as well as the transformations that occur in the country and how these were problematized by the author, along with the traditions and theoretical influences that will guide their professional development. For this we will select his works: The cause of crime (1892) and legal and social philosophy (1907), given that these texts reflect structural aspects of his sociological theoretical imprint and unveil the meanings and social stories, as well as the great statements that account for the social field.

ABSTRACT Psychotherapists draw on various theoretical approaches to address the mental health issues with which they work. However, this poses at least two problems: that what is called ‘mind’ is not a homogeneous, clear, and explicit construct in each current and that each conception of ‘the mental’ implies a particular episteme of such phenomena. This article seeks to address such problems; therefore, it aims to delimit and epistemologically analyze the tacit construct of mind present in the fundamental psychotherapeutic currents. Through an exploratory-descriptive qualitative approach, a hermeneutical-analogical analysis is carried out in which the mental construct of each current is delimited and then analyzed under the eaves of a series of epistemological paradigms. The conception of the mind is heterogeneous and presents various epistemological assumptions associated with each current: psychodynamic (rationalism/phenomenology), cognitive-behavioral (empiricism/positivism -rationalism/constructiveness), humanistic (critical theory/constructiveness), and systemic (constructive/rationalism). The mind construct is not transversal or objective, but relative to each psychotherapeutic current, with particular and diverse epistemological assumptions that condition the way in which mental phenomena are known. Finally, we reflect on the implications of the results in psychotherapeutic praxis.

RESUMEN Los psicoterapeutas se nutren de diversas aproximaciones teóricas para abordar los asuntos de salud mental con los que trabajan. Sin embargo, esto supone al menos dos problemas: que aquello llamado ‘mente’ no es un constructo homogéneo, claro y explícito en cada corriente y que cada concepción de ‘lo mental’ implica una episteme particular de los fenómenos de tal índole. Este artículo busca abordar tales problemas, por tanto, su objetivo es delimitar y analizar epistemológicamente el constructo tácito de mente presente en las corrientes psicoterapéuticas fundamentales. Mediante una aproximación cualitativa exploratorio-descriptiva se realiza un análisis hermenéutico-analógico en el que se delimita el constructo mente de cada corriente para luego analizarlo en torno a una serie de paradigmas epistemológicos. La concepción de la mente es heterogénea y presenta supuestos epistemológicos diversos asociados a cada corriente: psicodinámica (racionalismo/fenomenología), cognitivo-conductual (empirismo/positivismo-racionalismo/constructividad), humanista (teoría crítica/constructividad) y sistémica (constructividad/racionalismo). El constructo mente no es transversal ni objetivo, sino relativo a cada corriente psicoterapéutica, contando con supuestos epistemológicos particulares y diversos que condicionan la manera en la que se conocen los fenómenos mentales. Finalmente, se reflexiona sobre las implicancias de los resultados en la praxis psicoterapéutica.

Abstract: In the construction of philology as a scientific discipline, the history of language became the appropriate subject for putting the new methodology into practice. In Spain, the philologists of the Centro de Estudios Históricos de Madrid also based their studies on the establishment of a historical and evolutionary description of the Castilian language, for which they had to turn to the study of its first manifestations. In this article we propose to tell how the first advances were made in a discipline that moved from the field of research, with the work of the Center, to the academic field with the creation of the Chair of History of the Castilian language. A key date in this process was 1914, when the Revista de Filología Española was founded. That year a new plan of studies was established in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the Universidad Central de Madrid (Spain), which created the chair of History of the language, which was taken over by Américo Castro, who that same year published the translation of Meyer-Lübke’s book, Introducción al estudio de la lingüística romance.

Resumen: En la construcción de la filología como disciplina científica, la historia de la lengua se convirtió en la materia propicia para poner en práctica la nueva metodología. En España, los filólogos del Centro de Estudios Históricos de Madrid también basaron sus estudios en la realización de una descripción histórica y evolutiva de la lengua castellana, para lo que tuvieron que acudir al estudio de sus primeras manifestaciones. En este artículo nos proponemos contar cómo fueron los primeros avances de una disciplina que pasó del campo de la investigación, con los trabajos del Centro, al académico con la creación de la cátedra de Historia de la lengua castellana. Una fecha clave en este proceso fue la de 1914, en la que se fundó la Revista de Filología Española, ese año se estableció un nuevo plan de Estudios en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad Central de Madrid que creó la cátedra de Historia de la lengua castellana, de la que se hizó cargo Américo Castro, quien ese mismo año publicó la traducción del libro de Meyer-Lübke, Introducción al estudio de la lingüística romance.

RESUMEN Esta pesquisa de tipo documental pretende describir y analizar los rasgos de las organizaciones educativas, así como sus propósitos involucrados en la formación del ser humano, de conformidad con los principios fundamentales de los paradigmas del positivismo y pospositivismo, la teoría de la complejidad y la visión holística. Se establecen las limitaciones del positivismo y pospositivismo con respecto a la conceptualización y los propósitos de las organizaciones escolares. Se destaca de igual forma la concomitancia entre la concepción del ser humano y los fines de la educación, reconociendo que estos últimos deben responder a la visión que la sociedad tiene acerca del hombre, del mismo modo que las organizaciones educativas deben adoptar el propósito o norte de formar al ser humano integralmente.

ABSTRACT This documentary type research aims to describe and analyze the features of educational organizations, as well as their purposes involved in the formation of the human being, in accordance with the fundamental principles of the paradigms of positivism and post-positivism, the theory of complexity and the holistic vision. The limitations of positivism and post-positivism with respect to the conception and purposes of school organizations are established. The concomitance between the conception of the human being and the purposes of education is also highlighted, recognizing that these should respond to the vision that society has of man, in the same way that educational organizations should adopt the purpose or north of forming the human being integrally.

Abstract: The objective of this article is to analyse the dispute around the social sciences between Theodor Adorno and Karl Popper published in the book The dispute of positivism in German sociology. The central points the study will focus upon are what is science; what is its method. To fulfil the objective, we will make explicit each one of the points, and then, in a third stage, contrast the approaches of both authors. In the conclusions the possible political drifts to which the authors' conceptions lead are discussed.

Resumen: El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la disputa en torno a las ciencias sociales de Theodor Adorno y Karl Popper de 1961, publicada en el libro La disputa del positivismo en la sociología alemana. Los ejes del análisis son: Qué es la ciencia, cuál es su método. Para cumplir el objetivo, explicitaremos cada uno de los puntos antes mencionados, para luego, en una tercera etapa contrastar las aproximaciones de ambos autores. En las conclusiones se discuten las posibles derivas políticas a las cuales conducen las concepciones de los autores.

Abstract The text discusses the rise of digital initiatives in historical research, particularly emphasizing the increase in the number of large repositories and archival collections. This proliferation is seen as part of the “big data” trend that needs to be debated in the discipline. Some examples of projects with a strong empirical approach are presented (such asTranskribusandTime Machine), and how these initiatives are associated with discussions about the supposed irrelevance of theory. The article proposes ideas for debate, indicating digital training as a necessity in preparing historians in the face of a sea of uncertainties and algorithms. research collections big data discipline such Machine, Machine , Machine) theory debate algorithms

Resumen: El trabajo busca determinar si la crisis, diagnosticada por Husserl, es un obstáculo para la felicidad. A través de esto, explicitamos conexiones entre ética y generatividad poco investigadas por la literatura especializada. Comenzamos exponiendo la teoría de la felicidad de Husserl, con el fin de utilizarla como marco teórico para el argumento posterior. Proseguimos exponiendo el concepto de crisis en Husserl como uno de carácter generativo, mostrando cómo ésta tiene consecuencias prácticas que merman la posibilidad de los individuos de alcanzar la autonomía y la felicidad. Finalizamos exponiendo el modo en que Husserl ha concebido que la fenomenología participa en la resolución de la crisis. Resumen esto especializada posterior generativo

Abstract: The article seeks to establish if the crisis, diagnosed by Husserl, is an obstacle to happiness. Through this, we show connections between ethics and generativity that have been barely investigated by specialized literature. We begin by exposing Husserl’s theory of happiness, in order to use it as a theoretical framework for the subsequent argumentation. We continue by exposing the concept of crisis in Husserl as one of a generative nature, showing how it has practical consequences that reduce the possibility of individuals to achieve autonomy and happiness. We conclude by exposing the way in which Husserl has conceived that phenomenology participates in the resolution of the crisis. Abstract happiness this literature Husserls s argumentation nature

Abstract: The present work addresses the aesthetic philosophy of Eduard Hanslick in order to demarcate it as an epistemological approach to music and a paradigmatic case for musical autonomy. The epistemological assumptions that guided the work On the Musically Beautiful and its most likely influences were analyzed. We conclude by presenting musical idea as an epistemological formulation strongly influenced by positivism and as a qualifying principle of autonomous musical perception. We add to this conclusion a disambiguation with Kant›s concept of aesthetic idea. Abstract autonomy analyzed perception Kants Kant s

Resumen La investigación agropecuaria y la extensión resultan clave para impulsar procesos de innovación y desarrollo rural. En este artículo nos proponemos analizar las concepciones de investigación, extensión y de su vinculación presentes en diversos documentos institucionales del INTA, principal institución argentina de innovación agropecuaria y desarrollo rural. El análisis muestra que las concepciones de investigación, extensión y del vínculo entre ellas presentes en los documentos institucionales se organizan a partir de dos modelos de innovación. Al primero, que se apoya en el positivismo, lo denominamos ‘difusionista contextualizado’. En él, si bien se valoran las necesidades y la retroalimentación de los productores, el conocimiento es producido por especialistas y transferido a los productores. En el modelo ‘territorial constructivista’ la innovación está relacionada con el aprendizaje social resultante de la interacción horizontal entre múltiples actores. En él se prioriza el conocimiento para la acción y la adaptación local de los conocimientos en el contexto de uso. Los documentos analizados no logran integrar ambos modelos, ya que basculan entre invisibilizar diferencias y considerarlos desde una perspectiva evolutiva que niega la legitimidad el difusionismo contextualizado. Destacamos la necesidad de reconocer los distintos modelos de innovación y elegir el más adecuado en cada contexto. rural INTA primero positivismo difusionista contextualizado . contextualizado’ productores territorial constructivista actores uso

Abstract Agricultural research and extension are key to promoting innovation and rural development processes. In this article, we analyze the conceptions of research, extension and their link present in different institutional documents of INTA, the main Argentine institution of agricultural innovation and rural development. The analysis shows that the conceptions of research, extension and the link among them present in the institutional documentation are organized around two different models of innovation. The first is based on positivism. We named it ‘contextualized transfer of technologies’. In it, although the needs and feedback of farmers are valued, the knowledge is produced by specialists and transferred to the producers. In the ‘territorial constructivist’ model, innovation is related to social learning resulting from the horizontal interaction among multiple actors. It prioritizes knowledge for action and the local adaptation of knowledge in the context of use. The analyzed documents fail to integrate both models, since they oscillate between making the differences invisible and considering them from an evolutionary perspective that denies the legitimacy of contextualized transfer of technologies. We highlight the need for recognizing the different models of innovation and choosing the most appropriate in each context. processes article INTA positivism technologies . technologies’ valued producers territorial constructivist model actors use

Summary Introduction: In the fight against epidemics, vaccination is an indispensable public health tool. Method: An interventional and descriptive research is presented, non-experimental and using the methods: participatory observation, review of medical record, medical interview and data correlation. The universe and sample consisted of 87,028 people over 2 years of age belonging to the Songo-La Maya municipality. Vaccination was implemented in the period from February 2021 to February 2022. All under the methodology of quantitative research and the paradigm of positivism. Results: at the end of February 2022, 270,140 doses of the Cuban vaccines Abdala, sovereign 02, sovereign plus and 951 doses of the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine were administered; for a total of 271,091 doses administered. To date, 75,866 people have received at least one dose of one of the Cuban vaccines. Conclusions: In the Songo-La Maya municipality until February 2022, 78.02% of its population was immunized against Covid-19. More than half (58.14%) completed the schedule of the 3 doses of the Abdala vaccine and 17.75% completed the schedule of the 2nd dose of sovereign 02 and one of sovereign plus. It is notorious that in media publications that respond to highly industrialized countries they do not mention Cuban vaccines; this may respond to political mediations to not give merit to the achievements of the Cuban Revolution.

Resumo Introdução: No combate às epidemias, a vacinação é uma ferramenta indispensável de saúde pública. Método: Apresenta-se uma pesquisa intervencionista e descritiva, não experimental e utilizando os métodos: observação participante, revisão de prontuários, entrevista médica e correlação de dados. O universo e a amostra foram constituídos por 87.028 pessoas com mais de 2 anos pertencentes ao município de Songo-La Maya. A vacinação foi implementada no período de fevereiro de 2021 a fevereiro de 2022. Tudo sob a metodologia da pesquisa quantitativa e o paradigma do positivismo. Resultados: no final de fevereiro de 2022, foram administradas 270.140 doses das vacinas cubanas Abdala, soberana 02, soberana plus e 951 doses da vacina chinesa Sinopharm; para um total de 271.091 doses administradas. Até o momento, 75.866 pessoas receberam pelo menos uma dose de uma das vacinas cubanas. Conclusões: No município de Songo-La Maya até Fevereiro de 2022, 78,02% da sua população estava imunizada contra a Covid-19. Mais da metade (58,14%) completou o esquema das 3 doses da vacina Abdala e 17,75% completou o esquema da 2ª dose da soberana 02 e uma da soberana plus. É notório que nas publicações mediáticas que respondem aos países altamente industrializados não mencionam as vacinas cubanas; isto pode responder às mediações políticas para não dar mérito às conquistas da Revolução Cubana.

ORIENTATION: Findings on the relationship between organisational commitment, job satisfaction, and employee retention have been inconsistent RESEARCH PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between organisational commitment, job satisfaction, and employee retention among detectives in the South African Police Service (SAPS MOTIVATION FOR THE STUDY: There has been little, if any, research on the relationship between organisational commitment, job satisfaction, and employee retention among SAPS's detectives and on job satisfaction as a mediating variable in this context RESEARCH APPROACH/DESIGN AND METHOD: A survey research design, as well as a cross-sectional research design within Positivism, was used in this study. The study followed a quantitative research method. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyse the data MAIN FINDINGS: There was no significant evidence for job satisfaction as a mediator between organisational commitment and employee retention. The results indicated some positive relationships between job satisfaction and organisational commitment as well as between job satisfaction and employee retention. There was no positive relationship between organisational commitment and employee retention PRACTICAL/MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS: Should the SAPS management not take note of the relationship that organisational commitment has with job satisfaction, it could harm the way detectives perceive their payment, supervision, co-workers, workload, and communication CONTRIBUTION/VALUE-ADD: New nuances of the relationship between organisational commitment, job satisfaction, and employee retention were discovered

ORIENTATION: This study is a response to the challenges faced by a rail, port and pipeline company in South Africa when managing succession planning, self-leadership and turnover intention RESEARCH PURPOSE: The study aimed to determine if succession planning was the mediating variable between self-leadership and turnover intention in a state-owned enterprise MOTIVATION FOR THE STUDY: The study's findings may assist public entities in prioritising succession planning and self-leadership development initiatives RESEARCH APPROACH/DESIGN AND METHOD: The study adopted a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional survey research design within positivism. Data were gathered using a structured existing questionnaire that was distributed and the response rate was 78.67%. The reliability of the questionnaire was 09.222 which was an indication that the internal consistency was in order. Data were analysed by using correlation and multiple regression analysis MAIN FINDINGS: The study found that self-leadership was a marginally significant predictor of turnover intention. A large proportion of the sample was drawn from respondents working in Johannesburg whose views might not correspond with those of employees from other areas PRACTICAL/MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS: The findings of the study offer government policymakers the opportunity to develop policies that enhance self-leadership, promote succession planning, reduce the intention to leave among employees and incentivise the process CONTRIBUTION/VALUE-ADD: The body of knowledge was expanded in the sense that succession planning was found to be the mediating variable in the relationship between self-leadership and turnover intention

ORIENTATION: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic accelerated the adoption of telecommuting (TC), but its effect on the relationship between employee engagement (EE), its dimensions and employee performance (EP) remains unclear. RESEARCH PURPOSE: This study aims to examine the mediating role of TC on the relationship between EE, its dimensions (physical, cognitive and emotional) and EP in virtual work settings. MOTIVATION FOR THE STUDY: As traditional office-based work dynamics undergo transformation, organisations need to understand the impact of TC on employee outcomes. RESEARCH APPROACH/DESIGN AND METHOD: This is a quantitative study executed with a positivism philosophy. An online survey using a mix of non-probability sampling techniques yielded 478 complete responses from information and communications technology (ICT) sector employees in South Africa. A range of descriptive and statistical analysis tools, including structural equation modelling, were subsequently employed to interrogate the data and distil empirical findings. MAIN FINDINGS: The study established that TC does not mediate the relationship between EE and EP. A similar finding was made with respect to TC's interference with the relationship between EE dimensions and EP. PRACTICAL/MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS: The technical nature of ICT work may require collaboration and hands-on interaction not easily facilitated through remote arrangements, potentially diluting the anticipated positive effects of TC on EE, its dimensions and performance. The limitations of virtual work environments in conveying emotional expressions and maintaining emotional bonds remotely may also contribute to the diminished mediating role of TC. CONTRIBUTION/VALUE-ADD: This article addresses the research gap arising from limited existing empirical studies on the mediating role of TC on employee outcomes. In addition, relying on empirical evidence, the study enriches the body of knowledge by contending that TC does not play any mediating role in the context of the links between EE with EP.
