Item type:Publication, Regional development in Amazonas, Peru: science-society interactions for sustainability(SAGE Publishing, 2020-09-16)Scientific-technological knowledge maintains the anthropocentric power-pattern and exploitive attitude with regard to nature, but sustainability science asks for an integration of territorial and decontextualized knowledge systems. Visual participatory methodologies involving diverse local stakeholder facilitate dialogue on environmental and sustainability issues. Inspired by visual ethnography and mediated discourse analysis, the present article uses semiological analysis to reconstruct the depicted narratives on the nature-society system in drawings representing “regional development”. The drawings were elaborated in a series of participatory workshops involving university faculty and students, regional government and non-governmental organizations and farmers from local communities in the northern Amazonian region of Peru. The analysis reveals a prevailing anthropo and technology centered, “colonial” conception of the nature-society system, and a marginalization of alternative narratives. Beyond confirming the potential for visual participatory methods to enhance multi-stakeholder dialogue, it demonstrates how semiological analysis can be used to deepen an understanding of the cultural, organizational and technological constraints facing critical, trans-disciplinary efforts to decolonize the technology-centered, anthropocentric mainstream worldview of nature and society. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Learning from failure: soft skills for sustainability in the VUCA environment(Taylor and Francis, 2021-01-01)The of this chapter is to transform the pessimistic perception of failing and failure into a positive outcome. The process of learning from failure is embedded in a set of essential Soft Skills that cannot be replaced by hard skills. The Human Centered Management paradigm is at the forefront of SoftSkills revolution of the Knowledge Economy accelerating the transition from the hard skills, cognitive, technical, manual skills, in high demand during the industrial age but marginal today. Job markets are demanding people with Soft Skills that appear essential to thrive in life, at work, in society and are critical for advancing in the human centered economy. The Soft Skills approach used in this chapter aims to change the perception of personal and organizational failures proposing a model to transform them into opportunities for growth leading to wellbeing. The premise is that in the global VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) environment failing is the norm more than the exception. Clumsiness and status quo are no longer valid or successful options. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The mediating role of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the entrepreneurial personality and green entrepreneurship: The case of Peruvian's university students(University of Missouri, 2022-01-01)Nowadays, the value of innovation, green behavior, and entrepreneurship have grown, which is essential for a country's sustainable development. However, there has been no in-depth study of what the ecosystem should be to promote entrepreneurship and, thus, care for the environment. For this reason, this study aims to explore the entrepreneurial ecosystem's effect on Peruvian university students' entrepreneurial personality and green entrepreneurship. This study uses a duly validated instrument that includes the three variables divided by dimensions and was applied to a population of university students in Peru. Using a simple random sampling technique, the data were collected from 384 students of Peruvian universities. This study used the Smart-PLS to examine the reliability of the data and the correlation of the dimensions and items of the variables. In conclusion, providing entrepreneurship tools can help students develop desirable personality traits to generate sustainable businesses. The job of universities is to improve education for sustainable development. This means that students should learn the skills and knowledge they need to use environmental practices in their businesses - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Low energy and carbon hydroponic tomato cultivation in Northern Spain: Nutritional and environmental assessment(American Chemical Society, 2024-01-15)The agri-food sector is one of the most impactful on the environment in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and is one of the largest consumers of energy and natural resources. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the environmental impacts of hydroponic tomatoes cultivated in northern Spain using a waste product as biomass to heat the greenhouses and solar energy for powering the irrigation system to identify their main environmental hotspots and improvement measures. For this purpose, life cycle assessment (LCA) has been used. The functional units (FUs) chosen were 1 kg of tomatoes and an alternate FU based on nutrition, e.g., NRF9.3. The influence of including biogenic CO2 emissions has been considered using a “-1/+1″ approach to assess the uptake and release of biogenic carbon throughout the whole life cycle. The main results showed that greenhouse gas emissions varied between 1.4 kg CO2 equiv and 2.5 kg CO2 equiv considering biogenic carbon, whereas the total energy demand of the production of hydroponic tomatoes was 9.7 MJ. Fertilization and the greenhouse structure were identified as the main contributors to environmental burdens; hence, improvement opportunities were focused on these critical points.
