    (Universidad Católica Boliviana "San Pablo"- CReA - VLIR-UOS., 2023-07-19) Loaiza-Torres, Jose; Apaza-Coro, Omar Freddy; Carvache-Franco, Orly; Miranda-Azurduy, Franz Ariel; Mendoza-Osuna, Henry Mauricio; Carvache-Franco, Mauricio; Carvache-Franco, Wilmer
    The intention of young people to undertake can be important to contribute to the development of the economy of a country, in this sense, the objective of the present investigation has been to determine the relationships of the latent variables that influence the entrepreneurial intention towards f commerce., for which a quantitative methodology was applied via PLS-SEM structural equations. A questionnaire was applied to 100 young people between the ages of 16 and 29 who live in the southern region of Bolivia. The results explain that the intention to form a company using Facebook is explained by 65.2%, being the variable that most influences the attitude, followed by the variable subjective norm and in third place the behavioral control. The main contribution of the research is the identification of the main variables that influence the intention to undertake f commerce, generating useful information to formulate strategies either from the public or private sphere to promote the creation or strengthening of businesses using the Facebook social network. © 2023 Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions.

    The study aims to provide an understanding of university entrepreneurship ecosystems and the main lines of research, for which the Theory of Meta-Analytic Consolidated Approach (TEMAC) was used. The results indicate that the United States, United Kingdom and Italy are the countries with the highest scientific production and the main research areas are Business and Social Sciences. The analysis of citations, co-citations and bibliographic linkage reveals the most cited authors and the predominant research fronts, these being Innovation ecosystems at the base of the population pyramid, university entrepreneurship ecosystems, types of entrepreneurship, moderating or mediating role of ecosystem actors on entrepreneurship.

    La agroecología: una oportunidad para el ejercicio de derechos y la autogestión de mujeres productoras en el Valle Alto de Cochabamba, Bolivia
    (Universidad Católica Boliviana "San Pablo"- IUC VLIR-UOS, 2023) Quiroga, Celeste; Tola, Lourdes; Guzmán, Karla
    La UNDROP reconoce el rol que han tenido y tienen las personas que trabajan la tierra en el desarrollo y la soberanía alimentaria. Sin embargo, si bien, por un lado, su rol productor es considerado esencial; por el otro, su condición de vulnerabilidad está generalizada y presenta profundas brechas de desigualdad e injusticia. “Los/as agricultores/as y campesinos/as de pequeña escala alimentan entre el 70% y el 80% de la población mundial, [pero también] representan el 80% de las personas que pasan hambre en el mundo y el 70% de las que viven en la pobreza extrema” (Naciones Unidas, 2011, p. 1).

    Exploring power dynamics in a food bank in Bolivia. A case study during the Covid-19 pandemic
    (Food Ethics, 2024-08-14) Galindo, Darío; Gruberg, Helga; Dessein, Joost
    Hunger reduction, a universal goal, is often pursued through the concept of food security, which partially shifts the responsibility from national states to food banks. However, the active involvement of various stakeholders in food banks is frequently overlooked. The first waves of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the High-Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition of the Committee on World Food Security to acknowledge the necessity of stakeholders´ participation in achieving food security. Despite the significant influence of power relations on the operations of a food bank, there is a shortage of evidence on the role of power relations among stakeholders in food banks, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, this paper delves into the power dynamics among actors in a food bank in a metropolitan region in Bolivia (Plurinational State) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on the food sovereignty of the actors and the region. Our research was guided by an analytical framework based on Gaventa’s Power Cube and the definition of food sovereignty from the Declaration of Nyéléni. We employed rigorous qualitative research methods, including participatory observation and semi-structured in-depth interviews, over three months in an iterative process. Our findings reveal that power relations can enhance the food distributed by the food bank, but they can also limit the agency of actors, particularly the most vulnerable, such as women and children, leading to constraints in food access. These power relations were influenced by trust among actors, their motivations and needs, cultural and spiritual values, and their presence in social media.
