Interpretations and recommendations on professional practices from the project "Technical assistance for the strengthening of dairy production in Caldas-Colombia" ABSTRACT: The professional practices at the University constitute a set of activities carried out by students in perspective of acquiring useful skills for their professional training. The project "Technical assistance for the strengthening of milk production in the Department of Caldas" linked 88 interns to make up 16 Local Work Units in each municipality in the Department. The students were interns of the of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (33%), Agricultural Engineering (15%), Food Engineering (8%), Social Work and Family Development (7% each), Animal Science (6%) and Marketing (1%) programs. At the technical level, trainees from SENA from different specialties (15%) and Forestry technicians of CINOC (9%), also participated. To systematize the experience, which allowed to recover the learnings and recommendations arising from the project and provided input to strengthen the institutional policies that guide the practices at Universidad de Caldas, 96 semistructured interviews to key actors, 12 municipal forums and a focus group with 35 participating students were applied. The analysis of the information was carried out in three relational phases: descriptive, interpretative and construction of meaning. Systematization results provide an important extension of the meanings attributed to the practice as: meaningful learning community; social space for encounters, tensions and tacit knowledge, and strategy of regionalization of the University. Likewise, the systematization allowed recovering policy proposals to strengthen practices, which were grouped into three orders: pedagogical, curricular and administrative.

ResumenLos fenómenos de erosión y remoción en masa son frecuentes en la región andina colombiana, particularmente en el municipio de Manizales, con consecuencias económicas, de habitabilidad y de seguridad en el territorio. Estos fenómenos son multicausales y la importancia de sus impactos en el transepto vial Maltería -Las Margaritas, zona tradicionalmente ganadera, requiere de un análisis integral. El presente estudio tiene como objetivos centrales: reconocer los diferentes actores (productores e instituciones), las causas y las acciones frente al problema de remoción masal en la zona del transepto vial Maltería -Las Margaritas. En el estudio se realizó un acercamiento de tipo exploratorio, con elementos tanto cuantitativos como cualitativos, para lo cual en el año 2012 se aplicaron doce encuestas a productores y nueve entrevistas a funcionarios de instituciones (públicas y privadas) relacionados con la zona. Los resultados evidenciaron que el conocimiento de las causas de la problemática varía según los actores, que las acciones que se están llevando a cabo en la zona son disímiles, a diferentes escalas y con potencialidad de articulación. Se sugiere considerar estas evidencias para desarrollar lineamientos futuros e iniciativas de extensión rural encaminadas al manejo adecuado del problema de remoción masal persistente en la zona.Palabras clave: erosión, remoción masal, ganadería, instituciones. AbstractThe phenomena of erosion and mass removal are frequent in the Colombian Andean region, particularly in the municipality of Manizales with economic, habitability and security consequences in the territory. These phenomena are multicausal and the importance of their impact in the road transect line Malteria -Las Margaritas, a traditionally livestock area, requires a comprehensive analysis. The main objective of this study is to recognize the different actors (producers and institutions), causes and actions facing the problem of mass removal in the Malteria -Las Margaritas road transect line. An exploratory approach was carried out in the study, with both quantitative and qualitative elements, for which twelve surveys were applied to producers and nine interviews were Luna Azul ISSN 1909-2474 No. 46, enero -junio 2018 ©Universidad de Caldas 235

This chapter reads three contemporary Bolivian comics with the goal of analyzing their representations of indigenous Aymara or Quechua (chola) mothers. The author of this chapter demonstrates how normative Bolivian discourses of maternity frame cholas as grotesque but, how recent changes in government policies and in economic conditions, have empowered chola women and have resulted in changes in how they are represented in social arenas such as theater. In light of such shifts, this chapter asks whether comics too have evolved beyond monstrous representations of chola maternity.
