  El perfil de la radio universitaria se define en gran parte a raíz de los contenidos de la programación, que constituye el espíritu de cada una de estas emisoras. La radio universitaria es opuesta a los contenidos de la radio comercial, porque tiene objetivos muy diferentes. Su propósito está relacionado con la educación, la cultura, la ciencia, la tecnología y el interés social. En este contexto, la Universidad Técnica de Manabí cuenta con una radio modalidad on line, que transmite una programación variada con contenidos académicos orientada a la comunidad universitaria. Por este medio los estudiantes de Nivelación cursan materias como Desarrollo y Habilidades del Pensamiento. En este texto se indaga en la forma en que por medio de la radia universitaria se fortalecen conocimientos propios de esta asignatura y los resultados que se obtienen con los estudiantes que empiezan sus estudios superiores.   Palabras clave: radio universitaria; educación; cultura, ciencia; pensamiento.   Abstract The profile of the university radio is defined largely immediately after the contents of the programming, which constitutes the spirit of each one of these issuers. The university radio is opposite to the contents of the commercial radio, because it has very different aims. His intention is related to the education, the culture, the science, the technology and the social interest. In this context, Manabí's Technical University possesses a radio on-line modality, which transmits a programming changed with academic contents orientated to the university community. For this way the students of Leveling deal matters as Development and Skills of the Thought. In this text it is investigated in the form in which by means of her university student removes there fortify own knowledge of this subject and the results that are obtained by the students who begin his top studies.   Keywords: University radio; education; culture, science; thought.

AbstractThis paper examines the multilingual translation efforts of a group of university student volunteers during the COVID-19 outbreak in Shanghai. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews of the volunteer team leader, team members, and a local community health worker. Findings identified time constraints, limited language proficiency, and limited technical knowledge as the major challenges confronting the university volunteers. In order to overcome the challenges, they worked in close collaboration and used translingual and network strategies to facilitate prompt and high-quality crisis translation. Findings suggest that foreign language university students in local universities may serve as readily available multilingual resources and can be mobilized in prompt response to the grassroots multilingual needs of the local community in times of crisis. The paper ends with implications for measures and strategies to enhance effective emergency language service and crisis communication for global multilingual cities.

Objectives- To understand how university libraries are engaging with the university community (students, faculty, campus partners, administration) when working through the strategic planning process. Methods- Literature review and exploratory open-ended survey to members of CAUL (Council of Australian University Librarians), CARL (Canadian Association of Research Libraries), CONZUL (Council of New Zealand University Librarians), and RLUK (Research Libraries UK) who are most directly involved in the strategic planning process at their library. Results- Out of a potential 113 participants from 4 countries, 31 people replied to the survey in total (27%). Libraries most often mentioned the use of regularly-scheduled surveys to inform their strategic planning which helps to truncate the process for some respondents, as opposed to conducting user feedback specifically for the strategic plan process. Other quantitative methods include customer intelligence and library-produced data. Qualitative methods include the use of focus groups, interviews, and user experience/design techniques to help inform the strategic plan. The focus of questions to users tended to fall towards user-focused (with or without library lens), library-focused, trends & vision, and feedback on plan. Conclusions- Combining both quantitative and qualitative methods can help give a fuller picture for librarians working on a strategic plan. Having the university community join the conversation in how the library moves forward is an important but difficult endeavour. Regardless, the university library needs to be adaptive to the rapidly changing environment around it. Having a sense of how other libraries engage with the university community benefits others who are tasked with strategic planning
