Towards transformative education
Purpose This study aims to contribute to the refinement of sustainability competence frameworks for university educators from a Latin American perspective. While most existing models are rooted in European contexts, this research explores the competences deemed essential for educators involved in education for sustainable development in Latin America, according to regional experts. Design/methodology/approach A Delphi study was conducted with 18 …
Empowering university teachers for Education for Sustainable Development
Teaching with A Rounder Sense of Purpose
Through support and guidance in fostering competences in ESD, educators can help students to evolve into engaged citizens capable of addressing the current ecological crisis. However, in order to provide effective guidance, educators need to become proficient in sustainability. In this line, this study investigates (i) the depth of knowledge about sustainability (including teaching for sustainability), (ii) stances toward the Sustainable Developm…
Service-Learning as a niche innovation in higher education for sustainability
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a framework proposed by UNESCO to develop knowledge, skills, values, and behaviors in youth for sustainable development. As part of the global development agenda, higher educational institutions are expected to integrate ESD into their curricula. Service-Learning is a type of experiential learning in which students combine academic coursework with community service which is aligned with the learning …
Empowering youth for sustainability in universities
Purpose Service-learning (SL) shows potential to respond to the global policy agenda of education for sustainable development (ESD) by increasing pro-sustainability competences through direct involvement of students in projects that satisfy identified community needs. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of studies that attempt to measure the impact of SL on students’ sustainability competences, especially the action competence. This study aims to a…
Towards measuring environmental income through a refined United Nations Seea EA
The United Nations monetary System of Environmental-Economic Accounting—Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) does not recommend the measurement of the environmental incomes of single products from an ecosystem accounting area. The objective of this paper is to uncover the accounting period environmental income given by the environmental operating return embedded in single biological-based products consumed, plus their environmental asset gain, by apply…
Linking standard Economic Account for Forestry and ecosystem accounting
A major problem faced by government as trustee of society charged with conserving the nation's forest environmental asset is that the standard Economic Account for Forestry (EAF) fails to measure the contribution of nature to total forest incomes and environmental assets. In the context of this government mission, the debate arises with regard to how to uncover the contribution of nature to the total forest incomes enjoyed by people through a ref…
Measuring environmental incomes beyond standard national and ecosystem accounting frameworks
The standard System of National Accounts (SNA) omits the costs of the environmental inputs from nature and the environmental fixed asset degradation from the national/sub-national natural working landscapes. The United Nations Statistic Division (UNSD) is currently drafting the standardization of the Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (EEA), as part of the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA). The EEA- aims to mitigate some of the li…
Total income and ecosystem service sustainability index
This research develops the novel concept of an economic ecosystem service sustainability index from the perspective of total income theory, and presents its empirical application at the spatial unit scale of the agroforestry farm. This paper compares the results accrued from applying the refined standard System of National Accounts (rSNA) and the authors’ Agroforestry Accounting System (AAS). The AAS extends the rSNA to capture economic activitie…

Do we access meaning when we name Arabic digits? Electrophysiological evidence
In this study, we evaluated whether the naming of Arabic digits required access to semantic information. Participants named pictures and Arabic digits blocked by category or intermixed with exemplars of other categories while behavioural and electrophysiological measures were gathered. Pictures were named slower and Arabic digits faster in the blocked context relative to the mixed context. Around 350–450 ms after the presentation of pictures and …

Los primeros tiempos de Cuba en la ruta antillana del café
En el presente artículo se da a conocer el proceso cafetalero en Cuba durante siglo y medio de actividad (desde su introducción al fin del dominio español sobre la isla), su transformación en objeto de comercio internacional desde finales del siglo XVIII tras la destrucción de Saint Domingue, sus etapas de auge y decadencia en la isla, el abandono de sus tierras de cultivo en favor del azúcar y la rápida difusión de su ingesta por la población de…

Azúcar en América
Este artículo, un ensayo introductorio del número monográfico de la «Revista de Indias» sobre la industria azucarera en América, revisa brevemente los rasgos fundamentales de las investigaciones acerca de ella y la razón por la que se ha convertido con el tiempo en un tema historiográfico de primer orden. Además, presenta a los autores y sus contribuciones al conocimiento y al debate científico en los estudios incluidos en el citado volumen
Santo, seña y ruta histórica del plátano hasta Cuba
El plátano no es oriundo de América; llegó al Nuevo Mundo a principios del siglo XVII, pero su uso alimentario se generalizó con rapidez en áreas como el Caribe y, particularmente, en Cuba. En una zona del Oriente de la esa isla, además, encontró condiciones geográficas e históricas que permitieron la expansión de su cultivo para la exportación desde principios del siglo XIX. Este trabajo analiza el recorrido del banano hasta tierras americanas y…

Latin America and International Law
The entry of Latin America into the community of nations is one of the most important facts in the history of civilization. It resulted not only in widening the field occupied by International Law but also in radically modifying its character. Although the Latin States of America inherited the civilization of the peoples of Europe, they developed along different lines. In number, and in the fact of their common origin they were like the members o…
