 The aim of the CoTech project was to develop a concept of using ICT tools for international cooperation in teacher education, and the output result was to develop and test a pilot project for an online course. Our pilot shows that it is possible to implement an integrated curriculum using a variety of ICT tools for the development and deployment of video-based learning resources, as well as collaboration between international groups of students in teacher education without these students meeting physically or using coeducation. At each location, it is important to provide training in the appropriate ICT tools to be used.

Los proyectos productivos, promovidos y financiados mediante la cooperación internacional tienen la finalidad de apoyar el desarrollo en los países, reproducen la lógica de la dominación del capital, a pesar de las intenciones declaradas respecto a la superación de brechas de equidad. Ello se ancla en la ideología asistencialista y en la modelación positivista de las etapas de pesquisa del contexto, que obvian las particularidades de los contextos de intervención y los sujetos involucrados; lo cual afecta los procesos de construcción del conocimiento necesario para la transformación de los beneficiarios, en sujetos del desarrollo para hacerlo sostenible. En Ecuador, entre los importantes proyectos, se encuentra el proyecto productivo internacional Yuca-Manabí, con enfoque de género, que consiste en desarrollar económicamente el cultivo de la yuca, procesándola para ofrecerle valor agregado, desarrollo de tecnología en sustitución de actividades manuales y el aumento del rendimiento, como ofrecer trabajo a pobladores de estas demarcaciones rurales, básicamente a mujeres.  Este documento explora las formas como el proyecto internacional no anticipo consecuencias y agrieto las relaciones de las mujeres y su identidad de relaciones sociales tradicionales de los roles de género, específicos del ámbito rural manabita, y que han impactado en los ámbitos familiares y comunitarios, y entre las mujeres socias, lo cual atenta contra la sostenibilidad del proyecto en contraposición a la cosmovisión del Buen Vivir.PALABRAS CLAVE: Proyecto productivo; cooperación internacional; consecuencias no anticipadas; mujeres socias; yuca.THE YUCA MANABÍ PROJECT: CONSEQUENCES FOR SOCIAL WOMENABSTRACTThe productive projects promoted and financed through international cooperation are intended to support development in the countries, reproduce the logic of the domination of capital, despite the declared intentions regarding the overcoming of equity gaps. This is anchored in the assistentialist ideology and in the positivist modeling of the research stages of the context, which obviate the particularities of the intervention contexts and the subjects involved; which affects the processes of construction of the knowledge necessary for the transformation of the beneficiaries, in subjects of development to make it sustainable. In Ecuador, among the important projects, there is the Yuca-Manabí international productive project, with a gender approach, which consists of economically developing the cassava crop, processing it to offer added value, developing technology to replace manual activities and the increase in performance, such as offering work to residents of these rural demarcations, basically to women. This document explores the ways in which the international project did not anticipate consequences and cracked the relationships of women and their identity of traditional social relations of gender roles, specific to rural Manabi, and that have impacted on family and community environments, and among women members, which undermines the sustainability of the project as opposed to the Good Living worldview.KEYWORDS: Productive project; international cooperation; unanticipated consequences; women partners; Cassava.

Crews of naval vessels lack an up-to-date awareness of those aspects of a ship’s susceptibility to threats that are related to the actual ship signatures (acoustic, magnetic, infrared, etc.). The ship’s susceptibility depends among others on the current configuration of the ship, the environment, the enemy sensor capabilities and the related ship signature levels. For operational purposes, it is desirable that crews have a tool which informs and advises them on the ship signatures, on ways of managing them and on the consequential detection ranges of adversary sensors in the current tactical situation. A functional demonstrator for such a support tool, called COSIMAR (Continuous Operational Signature Monitoring Awareness and Recommendation), has been developed and tested in a laboratory environment in an international project. The background and approach of this international cooperation between Canada, Germany, Norway, Belgium and The Netherlands had been presented at the INEC conference 2014 in Amsterdam. This year's presentation will show the result of this joint effort. The architecture, human machine interface, signature and susceptibility models will be addressed, including the laboratory environment simulating all required platform and environmental input.
