Authors: Triana Era , Tela Nengah , Wahyudi Wenny Widya
Published: September 2022

In line with the dynamics of its development, tourism has penetrated various terminology such as ecotourism. Ecotourism is an approach to tourism development that seeks to ensure environmental preservation and keep the natural conditions around tourist destinations. Taman Hutan Raya Bung Hatta (The Bung Hatta Grand Forest Park) is a potential area to be developed into more valuable with more quality in ecotourism. However, the problem is that this site lacks attractiveness and regulations regarding environmental conservation and natural resources of flora and fauna as a valuable attraction in Bung Hatta Grand Forest Park. This study aims to assess the potential development of Taman Hutan Raya Bung Hatta in developing its attractiveness as ecotourism based on green tourism. The analysis in this study uses an observational approach and a deductive-descriptive method. The analyzes done in this research are an analysis of the physical condition of the Bung Hatta Grand Forest Park, an analysis of the attractiveness of the Bung Hatta Grand Forest Park, an analysis of the facilities and infrastructure of the Bung Hatta Grand Forest Park, an analysis of the Potential and Problems of the Bung Hatta Grand Forest Park. Those analyses are carried out with the concept of green-based ecotourism. The assessment of Bung Hatta Grand Forest Park attractiveness potential is from the potential for developing a natural museum, developing a natural laboratory as a means of education, providing a trekking area as an effort to integrate with nature and camping in the natural area of ​​the Bung Hatta Grand Forest without destroying nature. All of this is done while maintaining the sustainability and uniqueness of the vegetation in Bung Hatta Grand Forest Park.

Published: September 2022

Work accident prevention is cheaper than responding responsively after an accident. Common problems are weakness and a lack of predicted levels of risk for a job that could potentially be a work accident. Risk Control is undoubtedly something that must be designed before the work is done. This control must be supported by costs to run a Construction Safety Management System (SMKK) system. This section takes knowledge and understanding of what items are included in the cost. The initial observations and references that have been conducted and collected indicate the problem that the financing does not appear in the Budget Plan of the contractors in several construction projects when participating in the tender auction at the research site, namely: The City of Padang. The obligation of contractors to hold this financing payment point when the auction has actually been arranged and required three years ago through the Regulation of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing of Indonesia. However, the limitations of information media, socialization, and implementation instructions become challenges in running it. This fundamental problem gave rise to an idea to carry out research. This research has been conducted to explore the problem of the level of knowledge of contractors about the financing of smkk. The data in this study was obtained by survey, in detail, disseminating questionnaires online to samples, namely: contractors in the city of Padang. The questionnaire has been analyzed using an analysis of the respondent's achievement level. The analysis results showed that the level of knowledge of this contractor is quite good in the level of knowledge about the components of the budget plan smkk cost. In conclusion, there is no problem with the contractor's knowledge of SMKK financing. Indications, the problem of readiness and planning of these contractors.

Published: September 2022

Ferry Ro-Ro is a type of ship used to carry passengers and vehicles. This ship has several decks such as navigation decks, passenger decks, and car decks. The car deck is subject to a heavy load as it should accommodate vehicle loads. This study aims to conduct a finite element analysis to determine the stress and deformation experienced on the car deck of the Ferry Ro-Ro and determine the safety factor based on BKI (Indonesian Classification Bureau). The method used in this study is the Finite Element Method (FEM) which has been applied in the finite element based-applications namely Ansys Workhbench. The simulations are carried out using the software by varying the thickness of the car deck’s plate, the plate is subjected to pressure loads which are car loads accommodated by the car deck. Moreover, the fixed support is applied in the deck during the simulation. Based on the simulation results of variations of 90, 100, and 110% plate thickness. It is obtained that the smallest plate experienced maximum stress and the obtained safety factor of all plate thickness variations was satisfied the BKI Standard.

Published: September 2022

Biodiesel is promising as the best substitute/alternative fuel to most diesel engines due to its low sulfur content, lower aromatic hydrocarbon, renewable, and more oxygenated fuel. The dried Niger seeds were collected for their oil extraction and biodiesel production in the current research. This paper concerns about the influence of injection pressure on a single-cylinder VCR direct injection diesel engine using Niger oil biodiesel, diesel and ethanol blends, B5+D90+E5 (5% Biodiesel + 90% Diesel + 5% Ethanol), B10+D80+E10 (10% Biodiesel + 80% Diesel + 10% Ethanol) and B15+D70+E15 (15% Biodiesel + 70% Diesel + 15% Ethanol). The performance, combustion, and emission characteristics are observed for the above blends at the various pressures of 180 bar to 220 bar with 20 bar variations. At low injection pressures, the two blends (B5+D90+E5 and B10+D80+E10) show considerable improvement in brake thermal efficiency and mechanical efficiency compared to baseline diesel. At high injection, pressures blend B15+D70+E15 produce higher brake thermal efficiency and mechanical efficiency. Consequently, less brake-specific fuel consumption and less ignition delay period for the blends respectively. The exhaust pipe emissions such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrocarbons (HC), Nitrogen oxides (NOX) are measured at rated power at all injection pressures. CO2, CO, and HC are low at high injection pressure, but NOX increases as injection pressure increases.

Published: September 2022

This paper presents an investigation of austenitic stainless steel grain growth kinetics of SS316L under different heating temperature ranges and holding times. The main variables such as apparent activation energy (Q), rate constant (K), and kinetic exponent (n) were analyzed to understand the grain growth kinetics in austenitic stainless steel. The empirical procedure was developed leading to the obtainment of variables that could define the grain growth kinetics based on different temperature ranges. The heat treatment process was isothermally held using quenching and deformations dilatometer at a temperature ranging from 900 °C to 1200 °C and holding times between 30 s to 240 s. The kinetic rates were estimated using an empirical equation. Based on the observations obtained by using optical microscopy. The result shows that the grain size can be predicted at a lower temperature than 1200 °C. However, the grains show irregular growth at a recrystallization temperature of 1200 °C which leads to a difficult estimation of grain size. It was observed that the variation in values of n and K are associated with the precipitation of the different micro-alloyed elements presented in the stainless steel SS316L. It can be also concluded that the texture plays an important role in the resulting kinetics change.

Published: September 2022

Increased power demand has contributed to the power generation tension. Thus, there were critical needs for a better Price Based Program (PBP) policy for the consumers. In Peninsular Malaysia, through the development of a policy for the regulated market plan, the Enhanced Time of Use (ETOU) tariff was introduced by the utility to promote better price signals to the industrial consumers who contribute to the most massive energy consumption every year. However, fewer industrial consumers join the program due to a lack of Load Management (LM) knowledge while not confident in the price rate signal compared to the previous tariffs. Due to that reason, this study proposed simultaneous LM strategies for the selected power consumption profile in the electronic manufacturing facilities. Meanwhile, the Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) was adopted to search for the upright power consumption profiles of those average 11 locations of the manufacturing. The analysis of the results has compared to the baseline existing flat and Time of Use (TOU) tariffs. The results show an improvement in the energy consumption and maximum demand costs reduction of ~14-16% when load management was applied correctly. It is hoped that this study's results could help companies’ management of developing a strategic plan for the successful load management program.
Da destruição do corpo feminino à criação da posterioridade: estética da reação e o antagonismo à violência discursiva
Authors: Nery Fernanda Barboza de Carvalho
Published: September 2022

Este trabalho integra uma série de composições teóricas relativas ao desenvolvimento do conceito denominado estética da reação. Parte-se da acepção de que a autoria feminina contemporânea emerge enquanto antagonista por excelência das violências, instituídas pelo poder hegemônico no seio da representação. Ao romper com a armadilha do silêncio (Cixous, 1976), a produção artística das mulheres, na referida estética, estabelece a possibilidade da construção de uma posterioridade, anteriormente associada apenas à cultura masculina (Gilbert, Gubar, 1979; Zolin, 2009), através da elaboração de imagens do corpo feminino que assume, enfim, o seu lugar de corpo proeminente, de corpo desejante. Tal envergadura contraria proposições de subalternização disseminadas ao longo dos séculos (Almeida, 2012), suplantando e, por consequência, destruindo as imagens oprimidas dos referidos corpos. Utiliza-se, assim, duas músicas da escritora e compositora Letrux (2017a, 2017b): a música single Hysteria, e a música Que estrago, do álbum Letrux em noite de climão, para que seja possível proceder, a partir do delineamento dos corpos femininos, à identificação dos traços reativos persistentes na autoria feminina contemporânea.

Published: September 2022

Over the past decades, higher education institutions (HEIs) across the world have institutionalized communication departments and played an increasingly important role in communicating science to the public. While a growing body of research has analyzed the practices and structures of central communication departments in HEIs, little is known about developments over time. This study examines perceived changes in HEI communication along different analytical dimensions and across HEI types. Conceptually, neo-institutional theory is used to derive the factors that foster this change, specifically the new public management reforms and the accompanying coercive, normative, and mimetic pressures on HEIs. The empirical study is based on a survey of 196 members of HEI leadership in Switzerland. The results show that, according to organizational leaders, HEI communication has diversified and intensified considerably over the last five to ten years. It has also become – albeit to a somewhat lesser extent – more professional and strategic. Multiple linear regression analysis reveals that the strongest predictors of perceived change in HEI communication are the goal to build public reputation, the perceived competition among HEIs for public reputation, and the observation of other Swiss HEIs. The study outlines implications for future research and for HEI communicators.

Sudden death (SD) in athletes is a potential avoidable dramatic scenario. When done regularly, cardiological evaluation increases the chances of diagnosing ventricular pre-excitation. Consequently, the following question arises: what is the real incidence of SD risk in athletes with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome/pattern? This study included 84 consecutive patients diagnosed with WPW and was designed as a retrospective analysis of data acquired between 2011 and 2021 to answer this question. The patients were evaluated using a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiography, stress test, and electrophysiological study (EPS). The SD risk linked to WPW was defined as ≥ 1 of the following: the anterograde effective refractory period (AERP) of the accessory pathway (AP) ≤ 250 ms, atrial fibrillation (AF) with the shortest RR pre-excited interval ≤ 250 ms, syncope during AF or atrioventricular reentry tachycardia. The athletes with WPW pattern (n=25) or syndrome (n=59) at risk of SD were identified and treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The mean age was 19.83 (10–29) years; 66.6% were men. Seventeen athletes (n=17; 20.23%) were found with SD risk: 15 (n=15; 17.85%) in the WPW syndrome group and 2 (n=2; 2.38%) in the WPW pattern group. During the EPS, n=4 developed syncope: 1 during antidromic tachycardia and 3 during pre-excited AF. RFA was curative in 96.42% of cases. The EPS is mandatory to identify athletes with short AERP APs linked to an increased risk of SD. RFA is the intervention that settles the patients into a risk-free area, allowing resumption of sports shortly afterward.

Secondary hypertension with an endocrine-associated condition—pheochromocytoma, primary aldosteronism (PA), Cushing's syndrome, acromegaly, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, hypo- and hyperthyroidism, renin-secreting tumors, and hyperparathyroidism— represents a small but heterogeneous group of potentially reversible forms of hypertension. High clinical suspicion is the cornerstone of diagnosing these different patterns of often severe and refractory hypertension.

We report a series of 3 cases of endocrine secondary hypertension with particular clinical presentations and paraclinical findings in which the accurate diagnosis led to successful treatment of high blood pressure.
¿De qué hablamos cuando nos referimos a justicia hídrica?
Authors:   Instituto Mexicano de Tecnología del Agua - IMTA, Salgado López Juana Amalia
Published: September 2022

Existen muchas interrogantes en torno a la justicia: ¿para quién?, ¿para qué?, ¿por qué?, ¿cuándo? Más aún, ¿cómo la definimos? Y es que desde la antigüedad ha sido una de las grandes preocupaciones. Para Platón era la virtud fundamental de la cual se derivaban todas las demás virtudes, pues era el principio armónico ordenador de estas. De ese tiempo a nuestros días, las definiciones varían según la época y según el enfoque, por ejemplo, John Rawls, filósofo contemporáneo, escribe que los principios de justicia, que son objeto de un acuerdo entre personas racionales, libres e iguales en una situación contractual justa, pueden contar con una validez universal e incondicional.

Published: September 2022

Objetivo: O objetivo geral deste trabalho, assim, é discutir num contexto atual da transição para a “Economia Circular”, no contexto de implantação da “Indústria 4.0”, através das suas inter-relações. Referencial teórico: A economia global avança, se adaptando às necessidades e exigências, baseada em um modelo essencialmente linear, porém marcado por esforços para uma “Economia Circular”. Método: O método utilizado foi uma revisão sistemática da literatura. Realizou-se uma busca seletiva sistemática na base de dados CAFe (Comunidade Acadêmica Federada) do Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) na opção "Assunto", que inclui todas as bases de busca disponíveis.  Resultados e conclusão: A temática “a “Indústria 4.0” como viabilizadora para a “Economia Circular” é bem recente, e pouco desenvolvida, o que reflete no pequeno número de 41 artigos selecionados pelos critérios propostos de revisão sistematizada da literatura no período de 2015 a 2021. Implicações da pesquisa: Embora os conceitos e análises apresentados sejam discutidos nos artigos selecionados pelo critério de inclusão, é necessário avançar para a implementação prática da "Economia Circular" juntamente com a "Indústria 4.0", tanto para as soluções em harmonia socioambiental como para o apelo econômico inovador e socialmente responsável. Originalidade/valor: A revisão sistematizada da literatura contribuiu para identificar a tendência na literatura em relação à associação “Indústria 4.0” como viabilizadora para a “Economia Circular”. A temática é recente, e pouco desenvolvida, dado que esta última necessita de fundamentos avançados para sua implementação.

Published: September 2022

Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre a Cultura Sustentável e os drivers de valor das companhias de capital aberto listadas brasileiras no período de 2006 a 2020.
Referencial teórico: O quadro teórico aborda, principalmente, temas como sustentabilidade, Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE), Governança Ambiental, Social e Corporativa e Responsabilidade Social Corporativa (RSC), bem como as relações entre os desempenhos ambiental e financeiro no contexto empresarial.
Método: Utilizou-se o modelo de regressão em dados em painel para a análise dos dados.
Resultados e conclusão: Os principais resultados sugerem que há, aparentemente, associação negativa entre o investimento em ESG versus desempenho financeiro das empresas. Identificou-se, porém, uma relação positiva entre o tempo de permanência no ISE e os ativos intangíveis das firmas, podendo indicar a criação de valor através de uma melhor imagem institucional perante a sociedade.
Implicações da pesquisa: Os resultados evidenciam que ser sustentável custa caro às entidades e que, por outro lado, o investimento em sustentabilidade parece fazer bem à imagem das empresas, indicando mais uma ferramenta estratégica para as firmas em geral. Evidencia-se a importância da cultura sustentável das firmas, que repercute em toda sociedade, numa pauta de interesse global, visando o bem-estar ambiental, organizacional e, por consequência, social.
Originalidade/valor: Este estudo é pioneiro ao sugerir relação entre tempo de permanência no ISE e os ativos intangíveis das companhias, analisando a carteira daquele indicador, desde o seu surgimento.
Disclosure of Social Information and Women on the Board of Directors
Authors: de Moraes Eliene Aparecida , Ribeiro Fabiana Girotto , de Carvalho Elcio , Da Silva Adrielle Marques Mendes
Published: September 2022

Objective: the objective of this article is to verify if there is a critical mass of women to be reached in the board of directors to impact the extent of disclosure of information of a social nature and if the functional training and experience of the director in the sector of activity of the companies moderates this relationship.
 
Theoretical framework: the research is based on studies on how the characteristics of the members of the board of directors affect the decision-making process about the disclosure of information of a social nature, using the literature on corporate social responsibility and the theory of the mass criticism.
 
Method: the research is quantitative, descriptive, carried out by linear regressions with fixed effects panel data. The tests were applied to a sample of 104 publicly traded companies that voluntarily disclosed sustainability reports over a five-year period (2016 to 2020).
 
Results and conclusion: The main findings reveal that the presence of women on the board of directors positively affects the extent of disclosure of information of a social nature. The critical mass of 4 women or more positively impacts the extent of disclosure of social information. And, when there is a critical mass of 4 women, the extent of this type of disclosure increases by 9.95%. The board member's functional training and experience in the company's sector of activity were not significant to moderate the relationship between the critical mass of women on the board and the extent of disclosure of information of a social nature.
 
Research implications: the study has implications for academia, companies and regulatory bodies, as it implies the structure, composition and functioning of boards of directors, and the advantageous knowledge of the number of women needed on boards to make a difference in the improvement of policies for dissemination of social responsibility information.
 
Originality/value: the research innovates by verifying the percentage of variation in the rate of disclosure of information of a social nature when there are one, two, three, four and five women on the councils; and when it includes moderation variables to verify if the individual characteristics of the council members moderate the relationship studied.
Ferruginious-aluminous metapelites of the North Yenisei Ridge: Formation paleosettings, nature and age of protolith
Authors: Likhanov I. I. , Kozlov P. S. , Popov N. V.
Published: September 2022

Research subject. Fe- and Al-rich metapelites of the Teya, Garevka and Angara complexes of the North Yenisei Ridge (western margin of the Siberian craton) were studied.

   Research methods. Recently-obtained geochronologic (SHRIMP II U-Pb zircon dating) and geochemical data on the distribution of major and trace elements were used to reproduce the composition and age of the protolith, along with the paleofacies formation conditions.

   Results. The ferruginous-aluminous metapelites of the North Yenisei Ridge consitute redeposited and metamorphosed products of Precambrian weathering crusts predominantly of the kaolinite rather than lateritic type, as was previously thought. The chemical weathering of rocks in the Early Proterozoic on the Yenisei Ridge did not reach the deep stage of lateritization with the formation of zones of final decomposition of aluminosilicates; however, this process was limited to the formation of weathering products of predominantly kaolinite-illite-montmorillonite-quartz composition.

   Conclusions. The petro- and geochemical characteristics of the studied metapelites are mainly due to the features of sedimentation during the formation of the protolith, which could have been formed due to the erosion of the Lower Proterozoic microgneisses of the Siberian craton with ages in the range of 1962-2043 Ma with the involvement of granitoid and volcanic admixture of mafic rocks into the erosion area and subsequent accumulation in marginal continental shallow basins under the conditions of a humid climate and a calm tectonic regime. These results are consistent with the data of lithofacies analysis and geodynamic reconstructions of the Precambrian evolution of geological complexes in the North Yenisei Ridge.
Western Policy toward Ukraine: Outcomes and Challenges for Russia
Authors: Zhiltsov S. S.
Published: September 2022

The change in the balance of power in Ukraine in February 2014 not only changed Ukraine’s foreign policy course, but also marked the beginning of a new Western policy toward Kiev. Political support for the Ukrainian authorities was expanded. Ukraine’s involvement in the sphere of Western interests intensified. Western countries used multilateral mechanisms to form new interstate relations with Ukraine. The Ukrainian army was actively modernized. The West supplied Western equipment. The U.S. and the EU have been closely following the conflict in Donbass. While publicly supporting a peaceful solution to the conflict, the West did not take real steps to resolve it. Advocating a violent solution to the conflict, nationalist forces became actively involved in the country’s domestic politics. Kiev was encouraged to take steps to curtail trade and economic cooperation with Russia and to sever ties between businesses. The IMF was actively pursuing programs and consistently demanding reforms in the social and economic spheres. In the political sphere, the West supported Ukraine’s policy, which led to the aggravation of political relations between the countries. After Vladimir Zelensky came to power in 2019, the West intensified its support for Kiev. Western authorities bet on a forceful solution to the conflict and provoked conflict between Ukraine and Russia. In February 2022, anticipating Ukraine’s actions, Russia launched a special military operation. It called into question the further development of Ukraine and, at the same time, led to an adjustment of Western policy. The U.S. and EU stepped up military support for Kiev and significantly expanded financial aid. This policy of the West has created certain risks for Russia, which has entered the phase of acute geopolitical confrontation with the U.S. and the EU.
Legal Status of the Caspian Sea: Gaps in the Convention Regime
Authors: Gudev P. A.
Published: September 2022

The conclusion of the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea in 2018 was intended to put an end to a very long and difficult negotiation process to determine the legal regime for this closed water body, which has no natural connection with the World Ocean. The Convention was supposed to fill the gaps in the management of this water area that existed in the framework of the previous Soviet-Iranian agreements of 1921 and 1940, which were in force but not up to date, and to give all the Caspian states common and equal rights and powers to use and exploit the spaces and resources of this maritime region. However, up to 2022, the Convention has not entered into legal force, as one of the Caspian countries — the Islamic Republic of Iran — has not yet ratified this regional agreement, considering that it is the most disadvantaged party. Despite the resolution of the Caspian Sea seabed delimitation issues in its northern part in previous years, the problem of delimitation in its southern part may require both enormous efforts and time, further complicating the current situation. There is as yet no final understanding as to what delimitation models can be used here to satisfy the interests of all the states involved. Moreover, the implementation of the norms and provisions of the 2018 Convention requires the drafting and signing of new bilateral and multilateral documents that close a whole series of “gaps” in the proposed convention regime. In fact, the fate of the 2018 Convention depends on how these contradictions will be resolved. The analysis of these problems is the focus of this paper.
Iran’s foreign policy towards Central Asia: the case of Kyrgyzstan
Authors: Satarova E. A.
Published: September 2022

Due to the commonality that has formed between the countries of the Central Asian region and the Islamic Republic of Iran under the influence of the historical and cultural context, unity on the ground of religious beliefs, as well as considering the threats that require consolidation and the development of a common strategy, contacts between these states are currently extremely active and multifaceted. However, this was not always the case, and in this regard, it is worth emphasizing that the role of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been and remains extremely significant in optimizing the climate in the foreign policy arena. Having freed itself from destructive outside influence and become more pragmatic in matters of state welfare, Iran today has the status of an authoritative subject and initiator of international relations, which is manifested in its focus on mutually beneficial cooperation in trade, economic, cultural and intellectual spheres, in its striving for its own economic prosperity, to ensure stability and security both within the country and throughout the Central Asian region. The article is devoted to the analysis of the foreign policy pursued by the Islamic Republic of Iran, the specificity of which is quite clearly demonstrated by the example of its relations with Kyrgyzstan. In addition, the author formulates the main provisions on which mutually beneficial cooperation can be built not only between these countries, but also throughout the region under consideration.

Authors: BAL Harun , PALANDÖKENLİER Berk , GÜMÜŞ AKAR Pınar
Published: September 2022

İhracata yönelik büyüme hipotezi pek çok kez incelenmiş ve bu konuda başta Uzak Doğu Ülkeleri olmak üzere genellikle destekleyici sonuçların ortaya konulduğu geniş bir literatür oluşmuştur. İlgili literatürde 1990’lı yıllarla birlikte serbest piyasa ekonomisine geçen ve genellikle 2000’li yıllardan itibaren İhracata yönelik büyümeyi hedefleyen politikaları takip eden Merkezi ve Doğu Avrupa ülkeleri özelinde ise son derece sınırlı araştırmaların olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada seçilmiş 11 Merkezi ve Doğu Avrupa ülkesi için 2010M01-2018M08 dönemi ihracat ve ekonomik büyüme verileri kullanılmakta ve Emirmahmutoğlu & Köse (2011) ve Hatemi-J (2011) panel nedensellik analizleri ile ihracat ve ekonomik büyüme ilişkileri çerçevesinde araştırılmaktadır. Analiz sonuçlarımız, ülkelerin ihracat ve büyüme potansiyellerine bağlı olarak ihracat bazlı büyüme veya büyüme bazlı ihracat olgularının ülkeler arasında farklılık gösterdiğini ortaya koymakla birlikte panel grubu ülkelerin geneli için her iki nedensellik testinin sonuçlarını bir arada değerlendirdiğimizde genel olarak ihracata dayalı büyüme hipotezinin geniş ölçekte desteklendiğine işaret etmektedir. Bu sonucun yanı sıra elde edilen veriler, ekonomik büyümenin de ihracat üzerinde ayrıca olumlu etkilerinin bulunduğuna işaret etmektedir. İhracat ve ekonomik büyüme arasında bir geri besleme (feedback) olayına dayalı etkileşimli bu ilişkinin varlığı gerek Emirmahmutoğlu & Köse (2011) gerekse Hatemi-J (2011) nedensellik analizleri ile de desteklenmiştir.
El Modelo de Desarrollo chileno de cara a una nueva constitución política
Authors: Freites Andrea Patricia Astrid
Published: September 2022

El propósito de este trabajo es discutir acerca del modelo de desarrollo chileno, haciendo énfasis en el Capitalismo Jerárquico como forma de expresión. La primera parte ofrece una panorámica macroeconómica general del país, para llegar a una identificación de los desafíos para Chile. La segunda parte aborda el modelo de desarrollo chileno actual desde el lente de la teoría de las Variedades de Capitalismo. El modelo de desarrollo chileno ha significado crecimiento económico que sin embargo, no ha repercutido en el bienestar de la ciudadanía, este trabajo propone generar debates en torno a este tema que impliquen revisar otras formas de articular la industria y el mercado. Asimismo, ofrece reflexiones que permiten ampliar el debate que gira en torno al Capitalismo, proponiendo alternativas para organizar la economía, poniendo el foco de atención en el debate constitucional que está vigente en el Chile de hoy.

Este trabajo pretende aportar conocimiento de la eficiencia, planteándose como objetivo valorar la eficiencia relativa desde una perspectiva del análisis envolvente de datos en las universidades de Ecuador. Llevándose a cabo una propuesta retrospectiva de corte transversal tomándose como referencia el análisis envolvente de datos, técnica no paramétrica que permitió la medición relativa de las unidades, donde el modelo CCR-O reveló que 16 DMUs son eficientes y, en el modelo BCC-O fueron 20; se destacan la Escuela Politécnica del Ejército y la del Litoral. En la escala con bootstrap 16 DMUs del modelo CCR-O y 20 del BCC-O alcanzaron Eficiencia Técnica Pura, encontrándose sobre la frontera eficiente; mientras que, en la puntuación de ineficiencia, en el modelo CCR-O 38 son ineficientes, así como, 34 del modelo BCC-O. Este hecho muestra los valores reales de Docencia-Investigación-Gestión frente a los específicos, donde las DMUs ineficientes obtienen el 33,33% y en la variable de entrada, no se muestra un efecto significativo en las puntuaciones de la eficiencia; mientras que, en Docencia-Investigación las DMUs ineficientes alcanzan el 61,11%, Docencia el 55,55%, Docencia-Gestión el 48,14%. Por tanto, las Unidades están sobre dotadas de parámetros en sus resultados, de acuerdo con sus valores reales. Finalmente, la limitación se configuró según el modelo DEA–BCC de output orientado con rendimiento a escala y, resultó útil para medir el desempeño. No obstante, su alcance global puede distorsionar la realidad de la eficiencia técnica, en función de los recursos de las universidades.
The Reasons of Ineffectiveness of modern Concepts of religious Tolerance
Authors: Zhukova Evgeniia Mikhaylovna
Published: September 2022

The article examines a number of characteristic features of modern concepts of religious tolerance and its "expanded" version – tolerance in general. These concepts now have a noticeable impact on socio-political life. Despite its spread, the concepts of tolerance and the concepts of multiculturalism and pluralism that grew out of them proved unable to solve the serious problems facing the modern international community. The subject of this study is the characteristic features of the concepts of (religious) tolerance. The purpose of the study is to analyze the specifics of the origin of ideas of (religious) tolerance in the works of European thinkers of the XVII–XVIII centuries and to identify a number of features of the corresponding modern socio-political concepts due to this specificity. The article uses: an integrated approach that contributes to the comprehensive disclosure of the problem posed; a causal method that allows us to trace the connection between the features of ideas of (religious) tolerance in the past and certain aspects of relevant modern concepts; methods of generalization and classification. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that one of the goals of religious tolerance in the past has been revealed – to level the influence of Christianity (Catholicism) on society. An attempt is made to answer the question of the reasons for the ineffectiveness of the concepts of tolerance, appealing to the historical origins of the underlying ideas, as well as to the modern period of global changes and geopolitical transformations, including the current military-political situation in Ukraine. The results of the study can be used both in the theoretical, purely scientific aspect (religious studies, philosophy, political science), and in practical – in the strategic planning of the internal political course of Russia. The result of the study is the establishment of a number of reasons for those trends that are inherent both in the process of theoretical development of these concepts and in the practice of their application. The conclusion is that religious tolerance cannot be the foundation for solving interfaith and state-confessional issues in the world.
The development of a scientific view of history in the early works of K. Marx
Authors: Ginatulina Olga Aminovna
Published: September 2022

The subject of this study is the dynamics of the ideas of materialism in the views on society and the history of K. Marx. The object of research is the early works of the thinker (the 40s of the XIX century). The author pays special attention to the reconstruction of the method developed by K. Marx for the analysis of history and society. The relevance of this topic lies in the fact that a retrospective look at the method created by K. Marx will allow it to be applied more effectively in modern social research. The methods used are the analysis of primary sources, as well as comparative-historical, analytical-interpretive, hermeneutic methods.   The novelty of the research lies in the fact that historical reconstruction is carried out through the prism of a modern scientific approach to the analysis of society, the essence of which is in the progressive unfolding of human nature. As a result, it is revealed that at the beginning of his creative career K. Marx took the position of dialectical idealism and revolutionary democracy. However, the practical activity of the thinker allowed him to gradually ideologically evolve, which is shown in this article. And already in the Preface to the Critique of Political Economy, we can observe the quintessence of the theory of materialism in views on society and history. This theory is at the same time a method, an analysis tool that has not lost its heuristic value and is applicable to the analysis of modern society.

Published: September 2022

Pola tanam tumpangsari merupakan pola tanam yang menggunakan lebih dari satu komoditas pada lahan yang sama, dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan pendapatan petani dan mengurangi resiko kegagalan panen dari satu komoditas tertentu. Pada pola tanam tumpangsari perlu diperhatikan adalah sistem perakaran tanaman agar tidak saling tumpeng tindih. Selama ini pada pola tanam tumpang sari hanya diperhatikan dari segi produktifitas masing-masing tanaman, tanpa memperhatikan perbedaan nilai gizi tanaman utamanya. Oleh sebab itu pada penelitian ini dilakukan analisis terhadap nilai gizi tanaman utama yang digunakan yaitu ubikayu. Perlakuan yang diterapkan adalah 3 jenis sistem tanam yakni: A= Sistem tanam ubikayu double row monokultur;  B = Sistem tanam double row  tumpangsari ubikayu-jagung;  dan C = Sistem tanam double row  tumpangsari ubikayu-kedelai. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola tanam tumpang sari ubikayu dan jagung menghasilkan umbi ubikayu dengan kandungan protein (2,11%), lemak (0,10%), dan serat kasar sebesar (1,31%) yang tertinggi dan kadar HCN (0,08 mg/g) yang terendah dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya. Sementara pola tanam ubikayu monokultur, menghasilkan umbi ubikayu dengan kadar pati yang tertinggi (16,82%) dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya.
