“…And in the case of Colombia this has increased the participation of the palm oil sector in the national agricultural production. Even the export volume of Colombian palm oil to Europe in 2018 was 252% higher than in 2011, growing faster, than traditional agriculture products such as bananas and coffee, and carrying to the reduction of diversification of agriculture products exported [ 82 ].…”

The research presents an analysis of the food security policy effectiveness on the component of food availability and access in two developing countries, Colombia and Kyrgyzstan, during the period from 2000 to 2018. Determining the state of their food balance trade and the regression analysis for the Food Production Index of the countries, considering four economic indicators. Thus the study attempts to show that policies and strategies have not reached the expected results in terms of reduction of food imports dependency and strengthening of national production and export industry. Furthermore was found that among the economic indicators considered, food inflation, food imports, food exports, and extreme monetary poverty; the last one was the indicator that presented influence on the Food Production Index of both countries, during the period analyzed, showing that access was the main component that defines the food production. The results highlighted the need of integrating food security with the monetary and trade policies of these countries.

Debido a la importancia del mercado de la Unión Europea en la comercialización del banano y la relevancia que tiene el sector bananero en los países productores como Costa Rica, resulta de interés estudiar la estructura del mercado de banano en la Unión Europea. El objetivo de ésta investigación fue caracterizar los flujos comerciales de banano en el mercado europeo por medio del análisis de redes sociales. La investigación fue desarrollada en el periodo agosto-diciembre del año 2021. Se construyó una base de datos de comercio internacional de banano, la cual fue analizada mediante el enfoque de redes sociales. El principal algoritmo de distribución utilizado fue Yifan Hu Proporcional. Adicionalmente, se utilizaron métricas complementarias como grado de entrada, grado de salida, grado con pesos, centralidad de cercanía, centralidad de intermediación, centralidad de vector propio y longitud media del camino. Se identificaron cinco perfiles de relaciones comerciales, lo cual permitió dimensionar la estructura de mercado del banano en la Unión Europea y las oportunidades potenciales de interacción entre socios comerciales. El comportamiento de los flujos de comercialización de banano en el mercado de la Unión Europea, se caracterizó por su alta complejidad debido que evidenció grados de interacción heterogéneos entre países socios, abastecimiento global de la fruta y comercio intrarregional. Se recomienda ampliar la investigación con estudios posteriores de carácter longitudinal que permitan identificar cambios estructurales a través del tiempo.

“…The number of RTAs in force across the world has risen from 81 in the year 2000 to 355 by 2022, reflecting the significance of trade agreements in eliminating the hurdles to free trade. The gains of FTAs include diversification of markets and diversification of commodities exported, resulting in increased exports for the participating member countries (Cubillos et al, 2021). Several countries, with the aim of achieving higher economic growth and enhancing the production of consumer goods and services in a cost-effective manner, negotiate bilateral free trade agreements that ultimately promote multilateral trade (Trakman, 2008).…”

Simulated objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) assessments have traditionally evoked high levels of anxiety for students, both when learning the scenarios in face-to-face simulations and when undertaking the actual OSCE assessment. Virtual simulation gaming (VSG) is an identified method of preparation for simulation that may reduce performance anxiety for students undertaking OSCE assessment. This quantitative exploratory research utilised established satisfaction and anxiety/confidence scales to explore the impact of VSG on student perceptions of simulation experiences, anxiety and selfconfidence in clinical decision-making. Summative OSCE assessments were conducted in two cohorts before an inpatient and ambulatory care clinical practicum. Cohort one undertook their summative OSCE assessment immediately following the initial teaching, with the second cohort completing a mental health and addictions clinical practicum before their summative OSCE. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to examine the relationships between simulation satisfaction, students' perceived anxiety, and confidence with clinical decision-making. Self-reported satisfaction with simulation levels were high and improved over subsequent simulations. Results showed that although the second cohort demonstrated higher levels of confidence in clinical decision-making, there was no significant difference in anxiety levels between the two cohorts. This suggests that OSCE-related anxiety is situational rather than directly related to self-confidence. Anxiety was reported by most students following summative OSCEs despite the introduction of VSGs in pre-OSCE clinical simulation preparation. Even though they had high satisfaction with the simulation experience and reported feeling confident, this did not allay student anxiety. Overall, the study did not identify any measurable factors that would indicate which students would score high in self-confidence and/or anxiety. While it was not possible to directly attribute high levels of self-confidence to the introduction of VSGs, student satisfaction with simulation and clinical learning that included VSGs was high, indicating the positive effect on learning.
