Mujeres en el trabajo: persistencia de los condicionantes de género en el ámbito laboral
Full text linkT This paper analyses gender inequality and discrimination against women in the workplaces within the current context of increasing visibility ofthe demands of the feminist movements in recent years in Argentina. From a qualitative approach, this research analyses the interviewees’ perceptionsabout the following gender obstacles at work: wage gap, horizontal and vertical segmentation, domestic work distribution and other forms of gender discrimination. Results show the persistence of all the obstacles studied. Moreover, when the interviewees are aware and also in favour of certain demands pro-161 posed by feminist movements, they do not identify or fight for these claims in their workplaces, compared with their male co-workers and their male superiors, despite the situations of inequality they experience.En el contexto actual de la creciente visibilización de las manifestaciones y reclamos de los movimientos feministas en Argentina, este artículo se propone indagar sobre la desigualdad de género hacia las mujeres en el ámbito laboral. Desde un enfoque cualitativo se analizaron las percepciones de las entrevistadas respecto de los siguientes condicionantes en sus trabajos: brecha salarial, segmentación horizontal y vertical, distribución del trabajo doméstico y otras formas de discriminación de género. Los resultados muestran la presencia de todos los condicionantes estudiados. Además, si bien las entrevistadas se mostraron familiarizadas y a favor de ciertas demandas del feminismo ello no redundó en una interpelación subjetiva que posibilite una apropiación de dichos reclamos ante las inequidades vivenciadas y relatadas por ellas mismas en sus espacios de trabajo, en comparación con sus colegas y superiores varones
Para ser Colombianos por Siempre: esferas privadas y públicas para la génesis y construcción de un colectivo migrante en Temuco
Full text linkEl trabajo en comunidades migrantes en Chile es amplio y diverso. Sin embargo, el rol de colectividades migrantes que buscan visibilizar, representar, e incidir en las políticas públicas ha sido poco explorado. Este artículo aborda la génesis y conformación de la colectividad migrante Colombianos por Siempre. Planteamos que esta construcción se desarrolla a partir de procesos de reterritorialización, marcados por las esferas privadas y públicas, a partir de las cuales los/las colombianos integrantes transforman su desterritorialización cultural, a partir de la elaboración de sentidos de pertenencia que les permiten generar auto-representaciones propias y para otros. La creación de esta colectividad migrante surge como una forma de contestar y marcar presencia frente a problemáticas que los afectan y frente a las representaciones que otros generan sobre ellos. La experiencia de Colombianos por Siempre como colectivo social, cultural y político permite observar también posibilidades y propuestas en torno a la construcción de ciudadanías en contextos de diversidad cultural
Representaciones sociales de pobreza: miradas de los apoyos familiares del programa familias de la provincia del Biobío, VIII región Chile
Full text linkEl propósito del estudio fue conocer las representaciones sociales de pobreza y/o personas en situación de pobreza en profesionales que se desempeñan como Apoyos familiares del Programa Familias. Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, complementado con aspectos cualitativos, con alcance descriptivo. Se aplicó una encuesta a 41 apoyos familiares de 13 de las 14 comunas de la provincia del Biobío. Los resultados y conclusiones dan cuenta que prevalecen representaciones sociales de pobreza asociadas a una concepción de pobreza absoluta, descrita como de “carencias” y “necesidades” y en menor medida, con expresiones como “falta de oportunidades” y “exclusión social”. No se observa suficiente diferencia en los significados asignados a pobreza y a pobreza extrema; en ambos casos las representaciones refieren a “personas pobres” más que a la “situación de pobreza”. Destaca la mirada positiva respecto de la factibilidad de “superación de la pobreza” y reconocimiento de capacidades en las personas con las cuales intervienen para superar la situación de pobreza
Effect of different cooking methods on vitamins, minerals and antinutritional factors of immature drumstick pods.
Full text linkDrumstick tree is a miracle source of phytonutrients in the drought prone areas of tropical and subtropical countries. With the emphasis to increase adoption of immature drumstick pods at homestead level, this study was planned to assess the effect of different cooking methods on vitamins (β-carotene; Rangana, 1995) & Ascorbic acid: AOAC 2000), minerals (iron & calcium; AOAC 2000) and antinutritional factors (phytates; Haug and Lantzsch, 1983, total phenols; AOAC method 2000, and oxalates; Abeza et al, 1968). The findings of present study revealed that all the cooking methods led significant decrease (p≤0.01) in nutrients and antinutritional factors of immature drumstick pods except total phenols . In all cooking methods, sauteing resulted in higher retention of β-carotene, iron, calcium and antinutritional factors in immature drumstick pods. In wet cooking methods, both microwave cooking and pressure cooking were found to preserve more nutrients in immature drumstick pods than boiling and blanching.
Key words: immature drumstick pods, cooking methods, nutrient retentio
Experimental Investigation on Pervious concrete with Metakaolin
Full text linkPervious concrete is a type of light weight porous concrete with no fine or with small percentage of fine aggregate. It is generally used for flatwork applications, which allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing the runoff from a site and allowing ground water recharge. This study aims to experimentally investigate the mechanical and hydraulic properties of pervious concrete with different replacement levels of metakaolin. Pervious concrete for pavement applications having a porosity of 20-25% with cement-aggregate ratio of 1:4 and w/c ratio of 0.36 is established based on permeability, porosity and strength parameters. Metakaolin were incorporated in pervious concrete by replacing cement at 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of cement which helps in increasing the mechanical properties of pervious concrete. The strength parameters increased about 12.24%, 23.95%, 13.97% for compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength respectively for 10% metakaolin replacement and hydraulic properties decreased as the percentage of metakaolin increased
Behaviour of additively manufactured concrete cellular columns under axial loading conditions.
Full text linkAdditive manufacturing techniques have gained significance during the recent years. Most of the traditional construction techniques are more or less subtractive or in other words, they involve the machining away of extras to achieve the final product and hence their performance will be limited to the availability of moulds. Additive manufacturing methods tend to be more efficient and economical as it reduces the wastage of construction material, time and manpower by enabling the freeform printing of parts. This paper focuses on the behaviour of numerical models of simple additively manufactured concrete cellular columns when subjected to axial loading. The three unit cellular topologies adopted were square, triangular and hexagonal in shape. The numerical model was developed using Ansys Design Modeller and validation was carried out using the experimental data available from previous literature. The parametric study was then conducted on the validated models to obtain the optimum unit cellular shape, as well as study the effect of column height and thickness of walls of unit cells on the ultimate load carrying capacities of column. Strength to weight ratio of the cellular models was obtained to be 47-62% of that of solid columns with the optimum results for square concrete cellular columns. The load carrying capacity of columns decreased with increase in height as expected but the rate of decrease in strength was seen to be about 61% and 86% lesser in triangular and square columns respectively when compared to their solid counterpart. The load carrying capacity was seen to increase with increase in wall thickness of cells of column for all models.
 
Traditional rain water harvesting systems in Rajasthan: water resources conservation and its sustainable management – a review
Full text linkCommunities all over the world have been endowed with the wisdom of indigenous technologies to collect the rain where it falls, so one can find such structures all around the world. The region of western Rajasthan in India faces frequent droughts and an acute shortages of water. This has compelled the local people to incorporate mechanisms to conserve water in their everyday life. These traditional methods have been developed over centuries and reflect the accumulated wisdom of many generations. An attempt has been made in this paper to undertake a detailed investigation of the various traditional water harvesting systems weaved in the social fabric of Rajasthan, that have been constructed using the indigenous knowledge and locally available material and are also significant for the state in present context to cope with drought.

Gastronomic tourism experiences of Goa: Tapping the potential of Goan cuisine as a destination attraction
Full text linkAbstract
Goa has been well renowned for its serene beaches, sunset views, vibrant nightlife, and the easy-going nature that the entire State exudes. Though divided broadly into North Goa and South Goa, this much-sought tourist destination still has plenty of reflections of its rich Portuguese influence, right from its architecture, language, style of dressing, and of course, its food. Every tourist, while planning a trip, be it for business or leisure, indeed also looks into the culinary aspect to further enhance their travel experience. Goan food has an amalgamation of simple flavors consisting of its staple food of unpolished rice and fish curry; its solid Portuguese influence adds to its uniquely complex combination of flavors such as sweetness, spice, salt, and sourness. There are many paths that Goan cuisine has traversed and has tremendous potential of further increasing the tourism potential and acting as a critical player in the State's economic status in a delectable manner. This article aims at presenting a research link between tourism and gastronomy, which seeks to determine the impulses, satisfactions levels, profile, and purchasing power of tourists who visit Goa, with a motivation to understand its cultural heritage, in this case, gastronomy. This study is descriptive in nature in which the data were collected from the 190 tourists who recently visited Goa. A structured questionnaire” containing five-point interval scale was used for data collection. Statistical tools such as mean and one sample t-test were applied to analyze the data. The results revealed that, of late, gastronomy also plays a significant role in the way tourists approach and experience a destination.
Keywords: Food tourism, Portuguese - Goan cuisine, Culinary Tourism, Gastronomic Tourism, food, and drink experience
Impact of circular economy in construction sector: review of current trends and future research direction
Full text linkNowadays, a global problem of resource scarcity and a need to reduce waste generation make a discussion about eco-friendly production models more severe than ever before. One of the world's largest waste generators is the construction sector, the Circular Economy can help diminish its environmental impact. In the world, large amount of solid waste is generated, and the extraction of natural resources takes place due to the construction sector. This procedure happens because the construction sector primarily acquires a linear economic model of "take, make and waste," using materials for the construction of buildings and disposing of them, as they are fabricated for one-time use and do not preserve the potential for reuse.
A paradigm shift has been occurring in the industry at large over the last few decades with the acquisition of a Circular Economy model that objects to keeping the materials in a closed loop to maintain their maximum value.
Therefore with a more significant potential of diminishing the waste generation and resources extraction for the Construction Sector. This research paper draws the attention towards environmental impact; innovative designs; utilization and manufacturing of sustainable, recyclable, and reusable products, components, and materials
Crisis Social de Chile en 2019: Revisión de dos Hipótesis como Principales Causas
Full text linkIn the year 2010 Chile became a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, hinting at the country's economicsuccess. The Chilean model seemed to have brought prosperity. However, on the 18th of October of 2019 all that changed. Massive protests, looting,vandalism and arson suddenly occurred, culminating in the declaration of a state of emergency, a situation that had not emerged in three decades. Although a certain consensus exists as to the causes of this social crisis, namely the notorious inequality that exists in the country, the conventional hypothesis focuses on the disparity of material possessions (economic inequality). In this article we will examine this hypothesis as well as analyse the possibility that the source of this social unrest lies in more formal aspects of inequality (treatment); that is to say, aspects such as corruption and the existence of prodigious privileges of some over others.En el año 2010 Chile entró en la OCDE, el club de los países desarrollados, confirmando el gran éxito económico del país. Varios rankings internacionales mostraban a Chile como una de las economías más sólidas de la región, con un ingreso per cápita sobresaliente en América Latina, con una inflación controlada. El modelo chileno parecía haber llevado prosperidad a sus ciudadanos. Sin embargo, el día 18 de octubre de 2019 todo cambió. Repentinamente surgieron manifestaciones masivas, saqueos e incendios, terminando con la declaración de estado de emergencia, una situación que no se veía desde hace tres décadas. Aunque existe cierto consenso de que las causas de esta crisis radican en la gran desigualdad que aún existe en el país, la hipótesis convencional se centra en la desigualdad material (desigualdad de ingresos). En este artículo revisamos esta hipótesis, y analizamos la posibilidad de que en realidad el origen se encuentre en la desigualdad formal (de trato), es decir, en la corrupción y en la existencia de enormes privilegios para algunos en desmedro de otros
