We are pleased to present to our readers and the general public our new edition, vol. 18 No. 1 (2023): January - June, we also want to thank the contributions to each of the researchers, authors and our peer reviewers for the faithful commitment to contribute to a generation of researchers, without further ado we present the Miradas Journal attached to the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the Technological University of Pereira. In this edition we continue working on the three transversal axes, which are communication, education and culture. This issue brings twelve articles among which you can find:It begins with the text, "Analysis of the training in the use of disciplinary software of public accounting students. A case study" which makes a broad tour on ICT and the impact they have on the economy, and how this leads to the construction of new particularities on institutional policies for the integration of ICT in mandatory development plans to enhance the knowledge of students.
To continue with a theoretical depth is the article entitled, "Analysis of the multimodal discourse of the representation of the female gender in the advertising spots broadcasted by Canal Caracol" talks extensively about how the advertising that a television channel configures a series of stereotypes of women on visual, auditory and verbal aspects of the discourse, pigeonholing the female gender. 

The third article entitled, "Collective musical practice and its contribution to the formation of citizenship" had the objective of determining the contribution of musical practice in children of the Juan Pablo I Educational Institution, and how these practices through collective and creative work carried out through music allow the development of social and individual skills, thus encouraging the improvement of social relations and coexistence.

Turning the look on the discursive analysis of the article entitled "Violence and women in the press, an analysis from the gender theory and framing" is given through the research on how violence against women is seen in the press, since the news always emphasize on the transcendence of crimes and not on creating awareness campaigns on violence against women.

Continuing with the look focused on education is the article entitled "Strategies for motivation in learning: what do students and teachers think?" It gives an account of how motivation is a primordial aspect for the development of all essential activities in life, the text talks about how the perspective of students and teachers changes the dynamics of classes from an environment of empathy and performance developing a positive attitude, and how this initiative arises to propitiate and maintain this aspect when people are in search of achieving a purpose together.

The sixth article entitled "Affectation of body communication processes in the learning context by technological mediation" analyzes how body communication processes such as non-verbal language, body gestures and postures affect learning in the training context, allowing a comparison of attitudes from the face-to-face and digital contexts.

Another article entitled "Social imaginaries of job security of workers and immediate supervisors in Pereira and Dosquebradas (Colombia)" aims to understand the social imaginaries of supervisors and workers about work and job security, in order to recognize possible relationships from the social imaginaries of everyday work.

The eighth article entitled "Percepciones ambientales de jóvenes de dos municipios del alto oriente Caldense" (Environmental perceptions of young people in two municipalities of the upper east of Caldas) is very striking due to its implications and educational perspectives, and carries out a survey to different young people to inquire about their environmental perceptions, aiming to create an environmental education with strategies that link environmental citizen participation.  

The ninth article entitled "Research on sexual diversity and education in Mexico: a state of knowledge" maps an analysis of the studies conducted in Mexico on sexual diversity in order to configure the research gaps on different existing social structures such as the LGBT+ community. On the other hand we find the "Systems Theory: From Ludwig von Bertalanffy to Niklas Luhmann" and this leads to recognize the impact that the systems theory has had from the epistemology of knowledge, so it can be addressed in the field of education, law, politics, sociology and other disciplines of scientific knowledge; with the aim of identifying, also the properties that make it unique in the unit (autonomous, regenerative and referential).

The purpose of this research was focused on designing a proposal for the development of the communal eco-social tourism economy in the communal council of La Concepción del "B". A communal diagnosis was initially developed to identify the potentialities and weaknesses of the sector in order to elaborate the proposal to reactivate the economy of the place.to close, the article entitled "The social ties in contemporaneity.

From individualism to care" requires a broad overview of the metamorphosis of social ties and modes of relationship based on care, and the possibility of building communities based on practices of care for oneself, others and ecosystems, which are perhaps the most important key to address narcissistic individualism.

We hope that all our readers will enjoy this publication.
