Este escrito vierte sobre el diálogo de saberes en los procesos de vinculación comunitaria realizados por estudiantes de la carrera de Desarrollo Sustentable de la Universidad Intercultural de Chiapas. Este tema se analiza desde el enfoque de la interculturalidad crítica y los planteamientos que surgen de la teoría decolonial y la epistemología del Sur. A partir de las experiencias y comprensiones de los estudiantes sobre sus prácticas de vinculación, se definen tres dimensiones analíticas —axiológica, epistemológica y de la acción finalizada—, interconectadas entre sí en una espiral del diálogo de saberes. Con base en estas dimensiones se presentan los análisis de los estudiantes sobre las prácticas de vinculación comunitaria llevadas a cabo a lo largo de su carrera, y se definen aportes que retroalimentan el modelo educativo de las universidades interculturales y los procesos de vinculación que se llevan a cabo en la Universidad Intercultural de Chiapas. Dialogue of knowledge in the community bond: Contributions from the experiences and understandings of the students of the Intercultural University of ChiapasAbstractThis article pours about the dialogue of knowledge in the processes of community bonding carried out by students of the career of Sustainable Development of the Intercultural University of Chiapas (UNICH). This topic is analyzed from the approach of critical interculturality and the approaches that arise from decolonial theory and epistemology of the South. From the students' experiences and understandings about their linking practices, three analytical dimensions are defined - axiological, epistemological and finalized action - interconnected in a spiral of the dialogue of knowledge. Based on these dimensions, students 'analyzes of community engagement practices carried out throughout their careers are presented, and contributions are defined that provide feedback to the intercultural universities' educational model and the bonding processes that are carried out at the UNICH.Recibido: 27 de febrero de 2018Aceptado: 25 de junio de 2018

Abstract This workshop is dedicated on SDGs in the focus of environmental and health issues, as very important and actual topic. One of the characteristics of today's societies is the significant availability of modern technologies. Over 5 billion (about 67%) people have a cellphone today. More than 4.5 billion people worldwide use the Internet, close to 60% of the total population. At the same time, one third of the people in the world does not have access to safe drinking water and half of the population does not have access to safe sanitation. The WHO at UN warns of severe inequalities in access to water and hygiene. Air, essential to life, is a leading risk due to ubiquitous pollution and contributes to the global disease burden (7 million deaths per year). Air pollution is a consequence of traffic and industry, but also of demographic trends and other human activities. Food availability reflects global inequality, famine eradication being one of the SDGs. The WHO warns of the urgency. As technology progresses, social inequality grows, the gap widens, and the environment continues to suffer. Furthermore, the social environment in societies is “ruffled” and does not appear to be beneficial toward well-being. New inequalities are emerging in the availability of technology, climate change, education. The achievement reports on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also point out to the need of reviewing individual indicators. According to the Sustainable Development Agenda, one of the goals is to reduce inequalities, and environmental health is faced by several specific goals. The Global Burden of Disease is the most comprehensive effort to date to measure epidemiological levels and trends worldwide. It is the product of a global research collaborative and quantifies the impact of hundreds of diseases, injuries, and risk factors in countries around the world. This workshop will also discuss Urban Health as a Complex System in the light of SDGs. Climate Change, Public Health impacts and the role of the new digital technologies is also important topic which is contributing to SDG3, improving health, to SDG4, allowing to provide distance health education at relatively low cost and to SDG 13, by reducing the CO2 footprint. Community Engagement can both empower vulnerable populations (so reducing inequalities) and identify the prior environmental issues to be addressed. The aim was to search for public health programs using Community Engagement tools in healthy environment building towards achievement of SDGs. Key messages Health professionals are involved in the overall process of transformation necessary to achieve the SDGs. Health professionals should be proactive and contribute to the transformation leading to better health for the environment, and thus for the human population.

Effective Development

In this century the management of the country is in a dynamic, multiplicity and controversial environment. For their competitiveness is necessary to look for the interaction between the knowledgebased economy and the sustainable development. A strong correlation between those objects.forces scientists to analyze, create new evaluation methodologies. The aim of this study – to examine the role of importance between knowledge–based economy and sustainable development, create and calculate an integrated sustainable knowledge–based economy index of Lithuania and according to the results or research, make proposes for more effective development of Lithuania’s sustainable knowledge–based economy. The index consists of Socio-economic, environmental, innovation, human resources and information and communications technology sub–indices..The calculation showed that the development of a knowledge–based economy is not sustainable, because not all the development of sub–indices.is the same. The biggest positive changes taking place in information and communication technology, and negative – socio-economic areas. The sustainable development of the knowledge–based economy in Lithuania since 2010 is growing up.

Responsible Tourism

The relationship between tourism and local residents is one of the most important problems of the tourist governance in a site; both in mature tourism destinations like European cultural towns, or in other sites, and where tourism is a novelty, so problems can be more. The concept of responsible tourism was born for helping local communities that bear tourism impact, using the values of sustainable development. So, inside it, this theme is very important, for who think that local communites must be more active in tourism; and for who think that it’s enough if they gain money from tourist activities. This paper analyzes the situation in Matera, a little town in the south of Italy, where tourism is becoming an important economic activity. Here there are daily problems between who plan and citizens. A planning concerning not only tourism, as the restricted traffic zone.

This paper presents an ontology-based framework for the production of learning designs, focusing on the domain of sustainable energy education. An ontology of the sustainable energy development domain and educational model designed in compliance with widespread standards constitute the proposed framework to disprove the vagueness of “sustainable development” and enhance reusability and shareability of learning material respectively. The authors envisage this framework both as a means to support the authoring of learning scenarios and as a provisioning of a field for conversation about the appropriate authoring tool in this area. In this sense, an integrating approach for the representation of the learning design domain is kept, focusing on the concept of “mediating artefacts”.

Decolonial Theory

This chapter presents the support provided by the countries in the West to the underprivileged schools in Zimbabwe, through a non-profit organisation. Theoretical concepts drawn from decolonial theory, Ubuntu philosophy, and social model of disability were used to analyse the kind of support provided by the West to the South, and the activities of the organisation in disadvantaged schools and communities in rural Zimbabwe. Data were collected by scanning the organisation's website, newsletters, published material, and resources on the organisation, including journal articles and books on literature on the specific theoretical concepts. The argument for this chapter is that though it has been conceived that the West through coloniality oppresses the South, there are humanitarian lessons, both the South and West can learn from each other, which can improve both worlds educationally, socially, and culturally.

Trust Inference

Trust is significant for sustainable development of e-commerce and has received increasing attention in e-commerce, multiagent systems (MAS), and artificial intelligence (AI). However, little attention has been given to the theoretical foundation and intelligent techniques for trust in e-commerce from a viewpoint of intelligent systems and engineering. This chapter will fill this gap by examining engineering of experience-based trust in e-commerce from the viewpoint of intelligent systems. It looks at knowledgebased trust, inference-based trust and their interrelationships with experience-based trust. It also examines scalable trust in e-commerce. It proposes a knowledge based model of trust in e-commerce and a system architecture for METSE: a multiagent system for experience-based trust in e-commerce. The proposed approach in this chapter will facilitate research and development of trust, multiagent systems, e-commerce and e-services.
