BACKGROUND:

Premature infants are at high risk of early-onset sepsis (EOS) relative to term infants, and most are administered empirical antibiotics after birth. We aimed to determine if factors evident at birth could be used to identify premature infants at lower risk of EOS.

METHODS:

Study infants were born at 22 to 28 weeks’ gestation in Neonatal Research Network centers from 2006 to 2014. EOS was defined by isolation of pathogenic species from blood or cerebrospinal fluid culture at ≤72 hours age. Infants were hypothesized as “low risk” for EOS when delivered via cesarean delivery, with membrane rupture at delivery, and absence of clinical chorioamnionitis. Frequency of prolonged antibiotics (≥5 days) was compared between low-risk infants and all others. Risks of mortality, EOS, and other morbidities were assessed by using regression models adjusted for center, race, antenatal steroid use, multiple birth, sex, gestation, and birth weight.

RESULTS:

Of 15 433 infants, 5759 (37%) met low-risk criteria. EOS incidence among infants surviving >12 hours was 29 out of 5640 (0.5%) in the low-risk group versus 209 out of 8422 (2.5%) in the comparison group (adjusted relative risk = 0.24 [95% confidence interval, 0.16–0.36]). Low-risk infants also had significantly lower combined risk of EOS or death ≤12 hours. Prolonged antibiotics were administered to 34% of low-risk infants versus 47% of comparison infants without EOS.

CONCLUSIONS:

Delivery characteristics of extremely preterm infants can be used to identify those with significantly lower incidence of EOS. Recognition of differential risk may help guide decisions to limit early antibiotic use among approximately one-third of these infants.

HOSPITALIDADES INCONDICIONAL E CONDICIONAL SEGUNDO JACQUES DERRIDA: fundamentos filosóficos e aplicações teológicas
Authors: Borges de Meneses Ramiro Délio
Published: October 2017

Este artigo revisa as noções de hospitalidade incondicional –enquanto exposição à vinda daquele que vem– e de hospitalidade condicional –enquanto lógica do convite– oferecidas pelo trabalho de desconstrução feito por Jacques Derrida em De l‘hospitalité. Presenta deste modo seus fundamentos filosóficos e as aplicações teológicas procurando estabelecer, primeiro, a relação de indissociabilidade entre as duas noções mas também suas particularidades e, segundo, as relações com a ética e com a cidadania.
LA FILOSOFÍA CHILENA DEL SIGLO XX COMO PENSAMIENTO CRÍTICO
Authors: Salas Ricardo
Published: October 2017

Este artículo propone que es posible reconocer un eje central en la filosofía chilena del siglo XX ligada al desarrollo de la reflexión y la crítica. Mostrar esta posibilidad permitiría definir una historia de las ideas que tensiona de otro modo los imaginarios sociales y las ideas filosóficas en Chile. La hipótesis es que éstas no seguirían dinámicas propias –como pareciera sostener un cierto idealismo que estudia las ideas omitiendo sus contextos socio-históricos–, un mundo de las ideas no solo entendería el mundo, sino que también ofrecería pistas para actuar en el mundo. En definitiva, se busca distinguir entre los filósofos como intelectuales que generan pensamiento en sinergia con las tensiones de los mundos históricos, y los filósofos cuyo principal afán es devenir especialistas de textos canonizados por la institución universitaria y los curriculum de formación. El título La filosofìa chilena del siglo XX como
pensamiento crítico alude a esta distinción y pretende mostrar la existencia de un grupo relevante de filósofos chilenos que encontraron, por su particular apropiación de las circunstancias históricas que les tocó enfrentar, la especificidad misma de la génesis creativa de las ideas en que se articuló su pensamiento. Esta producción es parte de lo proponemos denominar una “historia auténtica del pensamiento crítico” y de la que Eduardo Molina, Jorge Millas y Humberto Giannini, entre otros, serían una parte importante.
POTENTIA DEI: DE TOMÁS DE AQUINO A HOBBES
Authors: Lukac de Stier María
Published: October 2017

La intención del presente trabajo es analizar las consecuencias filosófico-teológicopolíticas que la distinción entre potentia dei absoluta y potentia dei ordinata, surgida en el medioevo, generará en el pensamiento político moderno, particularmente en el de Thomas Hobbes. Se parte de la consideración del tema que hace Pedro Damián.
Luego se analiza en Tomás de Aquino la noción de potencia divina, el tratamiento
que el Aquinate da a la omnipotencia y, finalmente, el valor secundario que Tomás
asigna a la distinctio. Se continúa con el análisis de las versiones ofrecidas por Duns Scoto y Ockham. Se examina también la elaboración que de la omnipotencia divina hicieran Bonifacio VIII y Egidio Romano tal que permitiera explicar la relación del poder papal (plenitudo potestatis) con las leyes eclesiásticas y con el poder temporal.
Se concluye con el tratamiento de la cuestión en la teología política de Thomas
Hobbes, quien anula la distinctio en favor del poder absoluto.
LA IDENTIDAD PERSONAL, EL DIÁLOGO Y LA EXTENSIÓN: POR QUÉ NO EXISTE EL YO SIN LOS OTROS
Authors: Moya Ignacio
Published: October 2017

En este trabajo propongo un concepto del Yo que nos permite abordar y solucionar algunos de los problemas asociados con la identidad personal diacrónica. Esto es, en virtud de qué podemos considerar que hoy yo soy la misma persona que fui ayer. Este problema de la continuidad en el tiempo de la identidad personal tiene una larga historia en la filosofía analítica. En este sentido sostengo que la continuidad de la identidad personal en el tiempo se puede garantizar acudiendo al concepto del “yo extendido como centro de gravedad” que aquí presento. El argumento central es que una persona individual no conoce ni está en controlde su identidad ya que las identidades no dependen de los individuos particulares, sino que siempre se extienden hacia fuera, hacia los otros. Es decir, la continuidad de mi identidad estaría garantizada por los otros.

LA IRONÍA TRAGICÓMICA DE LO INTOTALIZABLE
Authors: Grosos Philippe
Published: October 2017

El presente estudio intenta mostrar que la ironía tiene un valor ontológico,
que le hace ser más que un simple rasgo de lenguaje o de espíritu. Así,
describiendo la reversibilidad de nuestras situaciones de existencia,
ella dice el sentido de ser de lo real y recalca dos determinaciones
fundamentales: su carácter intotalizable y su potencia tragicómica. Para
probar esta tesis nos apoyaremos tanto en el análisis de algunas obras
literarias como en la inteligencia de los fenómenos.
DERRIDA SOBRE FREUD. ESCRITURAS SOBRE EL IMPOSIBLE SUJETO
Authors: Fuster Sánchez Nicolás , Moscoso-Flores Pedro
Published: October 2017

El presente texto aborda el problema del psicoanálisis, y la relación crítica que Jacques Derrida articula entre éste y la filosofía metafísica, profundizando en aquellos aspectos de la teoría freudiana que sirven como referente subversivo al pensamiento ilustrado en torno a la subjetividad. Se tomará como referencia fundamental el problema del inconsciente y de la muerte como elemento clave para cuestionar el problema del sujeto desde una visión ontológica y/o idealista.
DE LA LÓGICA A LA ÉTICA. LA SINFONÍA DEL LÓGOS EN ARISTÓTELES
Authors: Furstenberg Cécile
Published: October 2017

Aristóteles alude a diversos escritos o trabajos en su tratado de Interpretación que
forma parte del Organon o Tratado de Lógica: a la Retórica, a la Poética, a De
Anima, pero no se encuentra ninguna referencia explícita a la Ética. Sin embargo la lectura en particular del capítulo 9 de de Interpretación sugiere una relación posible con la Ética. En efecto Aristóteles después de haber definido lo que es la oración apofántica, “λόγος ἀποφαντικὸς,” precisa que sólo se refiere al presente o al pasado ya que para el futuro no se da la verdad o falsedad, la contingencia no obliga a la necesidad. Para Aristóteles las acciones humanas no son determinadas. En la Ética a Nicómaco, en particular en el capítulo 6, Aristóteles va a precisar lo que es la acción humana y cómo interviene la lógica en el proceso de deliberación, decisión, acción. Luego, resulta interesante precisar las relaciones entre la Lógica y la Ética en el conjunto de estas obras, lo que es correlativo con las relaciones entre la verdad y el bien, la teoría y la práctica. Se bosqueja un tema que fue rescatado en escritos de filósofos contemporáneos.
PARA UNA FENOMENOLOGÍA DEL ENCUENTRO (UN CONTRAPUNTO ENTRE EL SER-CON-OTROS DE MARTIN HEIDEGGER Y LAS MEDITACIONES SOBRE LO COTIDIANO DE HUMBERTO GIANNINI)
Authors: Morales De la Barrera Emilio
Published: October 2017

En este estudio quisiéramos realizar un contrapunto entre el modo en que Martín Heidegger y Humberto Giannini entienden el encuentro con el otro. Por ello, veremos la estructura espacial y temporal en ambos filósofos en cuanto los dos se aproximan a la categoría de ser-con y a una reflexión sobre lo cotidiano. Sin embargo, si bien éstas por una parte se juntan, por otra difieren de manera importante.
Lo mismo parece suceder con el lugar en que ambos filósofos consideran el origen óntico del tiempo considerando diferencias importantes entre la anticipación y la hospitalidad.

The Book that Every School Needs. Review of the Russian Edition of the Book: Leontiev A. Pedagogy of Common Sense. Selected Works on Philosophy of Education and Educational Psychology
Authors: Lubimov Lev
Published: October 2017

The ideas gathered in the book should be of interest to every school that intends to implement the National Learning Standard. These ideas have to do with personal development of children, getting children prepared for further development, inculcation of cognitive competencies, collective learning, learning content as a perspective of the world, and the need for radical change in teaching foreign languages in school.
The Public Good Created by Higher Education Institutions in Russia
Authors: Marginson Simon
Published: October 2017

The public/private distinction is central to higher education but there is no consensus on the meaning of ‘public’. Two different meanings are in use. Economic theory distinguishes non market goods (public) that cannot be produced for profit, from market-based activity (private). This provides a basis for identifying the minimum necessary public expenditure, but does not effectively encompass collective goods. In political theory ‘public’ is often understood as state ownership and/ or control. This is more inclusive than the  economic definition, and recognizes the scope for norms and policies, but lacks clear boundaries. The first part of the article synthesizes these two approaches, developing an analytical framework with four quadrants (civil society, social democracy, state quasi-market,  commercial market) that can be used to categorise activities in higher education and research. The second part summarises the findings of 30 semi-structured interviews in the Russian government and two universities, conducted in 2013, concerning perceptions of public goods produced in Russian higher education. While most interviewees saw research as a global public good, they were divided in relation to teaching and learning. Some understood the education function as a public good in both the economic and political  sense and wanted the government to take greater responsibility for improvement in higher education. Others saw higher education as a private good in the economic sense, and while they acknowledged the need for government because of market failure, wanted  public intervention and regulation to be reduced. This division in thought about public/private paralleled the larger division between Soviet and neoliberal thinking in the Russian polity, and also the divided character of higher education, which is evenly split between free  government administered places and a fee-paying student market.
Achieving Health Alternatively: Exploring the Roles of Alternative Health Practitioners in Tampa Bay
Authors: Logan Ryan I.
Published: October 2017

Many individuals in the United States continue to seek out complementary and alternative approaches to health. In this exploratory project, I examined the use of complementary and alternative approaches to health from the perspective of several practitioners in Tampa, Florida. I conducted interviews with alternative health practitioners in order to elucidate several of these practices, the main health issues of their clients, and their approaches to treating these issues. Among the alternative health practitioners surveyed included self-identified shamans, mambos, and babalawos. Several of the biggest health concerns sought out by their clients included chronic health issues and mental health disorders. Additionally, several of these alternative health practices could be considered as a preventative form of health care. Finally, I offer several future directions for research on this topic as well as some practical applications for applied anthropology.
Evaluating Technical Assistance to State Agencies: The Case Study Perspective
Authors: Poliakoff Anne Rogers , Sturges Keith M.
Published: October 2017

The United States Department of Education funds comprehensive centers to deliver technical assistance to state education agencies to strengthen their capacity to perform their responsibilities. One of these centers, the Appalachia Regional Comprehensive Center (ARCC), delivers technical assistance to agencies in four states. Annually, the ARCC conducts a comprehensive evaluation, into which a case study component was introduced in the third year. A multiple case study approach offered to enhance the evaluation's capacity to encompass and describe the complexity of the ARCC program. We identified one case initiative per agency, selecting those with the most potential to shed light on the practice of capacity building. Across the four cases, we eventually detected five issues: capacity building, staffing, communication, defining the work, and sustainability. Their identification enhanced our understanding of the ways that capacity building technical assistance (TA) operated in different contexts, enabling us to offer feedback to staff and leadership that could improve the design of TA.
Teaching Ethnographic Methods Through a Study of Transportation Choices on a California Campus
Authors: Howell Jayne , Chhay Kassandra
Published: October 2017

Acquiring knowledge of and using methodology is a critical facet of ethnographers' training. For working students and those with families who cannot leave home for extended periods, class-based projects provide an important alternative to the field school experience. These projects may also have practical dimensions that can be shared with members of the local community. California State University Long Beach students enrolled in an ethnographic methods course used the participation observation and interviewing skills they learned in class to explore commuting habits and shared these results with the campus. This discussion summarizes the course structure, projects, and research findings and analyzes students' perceptions of ways that this hands-on research project allowed them to feel more connected to the campus and discipline.
An Analytical Model of Animal Growth
Authors: Stass V. L.
Published: October 2017

The purpose of this study was to explain some aspects of ontogenetic growth in pigs by analysing the relationships between variables that are significant to the development of animals. The novelty of the study is a new modelling approach to the growth problem, with the attention that has been paid to both a new set of variables, and an analytical discrete-continuous hybrid model, innovative for the field. This is a first species-specific hybrid model for animal growth formulated in discrete-time difference equation technique. The efficiency of the model is not only due to the modelling technique but also due to a set of relevant variables, especially a feed conversion coefficient, which provides a link between macro and micro physiological scales. The model is based on functional relationships between relevant variables acquired from experimental data analyses, and field observations. The concept explains some aspects of growth in pigs from 30 kg to 600 kg, which is considered the maximum individual weight for a boar, and further growth up to a species maximum weight. The model predicts that boar can reach their maximum individual weight of 600 kg when 6,40 years old and are required to consume 62,51 kg of feed to put on the last kilogram. The phenotypes that can attain their maximum individual weight go through bifurcation of the growth trajectory, a transform in the growth mode. After bifurcation, the smallest number of the phenotypes go on the growth trajectory that leads to a set of species maximum weights of over 1205 kg, and the greatest number of phenotypes continue to live until aged 24,90 years, provided their maximum weights do not change. The study includes growth rate equations, identifies species maximum weight phenotypes, and produces insight into pig longevity. The results suggest that species maximum weight growth trajectories are phenotype-dependant. A modified discrete-time difference equation technique combined with standard continuum methods is an appropriate formalism to model ontogenetic growth in animals.
Atteintes Oculaires Au Cours Du Syndrome De Wolfram À Propos De Deux Cas Et Revue De La Littérature
Authors: H.Y Abba Kaka , N. Guirou , C.R. Berete , A. Amza , M. Daou
Published: October 2017

Introduction: Wolfram syndrome is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder. Diabetes mellitus and juvenile bilateral optic atrophy are its major signs. It is recognized that this association, which started in childhood or during adolescence, is sufficient to diagnose Wolfram syndrome. Optic atrophy occurs in 98% to 100% of cases with an average age of onset of 11 years. We reported a study of two confirmed cases referred by the internal medicine department. Observations: Case 1: A 23- year-old woman, deaf and dumb by birth, went through a diabetic ketosis test. Ophthalmologic examination showed reduced visual acuity in the fingers at 5 meters P2 in both eyes. Also, the fundus of the eye showed bilateral atrophic papillary palpation with no signs of retinopathy. She had deafness of deep perception and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Deafness, diabetes, optic atrophy, and hypogonadism led to the diagnosis. Case 2: A 21-year-old man born from a first-degree consanguineous marriage serves as a supplement to the management of diabetes. The visual acuity was at counting fingers at 1m to the right eye and sees the hand move to 0.5 m to the left eye. On examination at the slit lamp, it had a bilateral dense cataract. After phacoexeresis, the base revealed bilateral optic atrophy. Ultrasound of the urinary tree showed hypotonia of the renal cavities and a neurogenic bladder. Also, audiometry showed mild sensory deafness. The diagnosis of Wolfram syndrome was made in front of the tetrad: diabetes, optic atrophy, deafness, and urinary signs. Discussion: Wolfram syndrome may be familial or sporadic. The gene however is located on the short arm of chromosome 4. Optic atrophy is secondary to the involvement of pre-genetic fibers, and it is characterized initially by temporal palpation of the papilla. The evolution towards diffuse whitish discoloration occurs in a few months or years with the gradual establishment of a blindness around the age of 17 to 30 years. Conclusion: Wolfram syndrome is a clinical entity characterized by clinical and genetic polymorphism. This diagnosis should be considered in the presence of any type I diabetes associated with optic atrophy in children

Authors: Temel Sinan , Gokmen Fatma Ozge , Yaman Elif
Published: October 2017

ZnO nanoflowers have been synthesized by chemical bath deposition technique at different deposition times without using complexing agent, so it is an environmentalist study. Effects of deposition time on structural and morphological properties of ZnO nanoflowers have been investigated by Xray diffraction (XRD) method and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). XRD patterns showed that the samples had hexagonal wurtzite structure and polycrystalline nature. Grain sizes, dislocation densities and lattice parameters of the samples have been calculated. According to these results, it has been determined that the ZnO nanoflowers synthesized in very short time like 30 minutes without using complexing agent, showed the best crystallization. When the images of ZnO nanoflowers have been examined, it has seen that the structure is formed continuously and independently from each other by nanorods. It has also seen that these nanorods combine to form a flower-like structure.

The aim of this study is to evaluate environment supportive pretreatment and dyeing process. In this project, pretreatment of cotton fabric was done by using banana ash. Also, dyeing was carried out with banana sap along with different mordants that are eco-friendly and cost saving. Here, all the experiments were carried out on woven (plain) fabric of 141 GSM. Firstly, cotton fabric was scoured by means of banana root’s ash (pH-10.2). It was then dyed with banana sap (pH-5.4). This banana ash scoured cotton fabric was compared with conventionally scoured cotton fabric through weight loss % and absorbency test. In addition, fastness properties and performance of dyeing were measured through CIE L*C*h, K/S value, and different color fastness tests. Banana ash scoured and dyed with banana sap, using mordant (horitoky), provided the best dyeing performance and color fastness to wash, rubbing, and perspiration than the others.

L’addebito della separazione nel diritto internazionale privato dell’Unione Europea= Judicial decisions as to the causes of separation under EU private international law
Authors: Aquironi Ilaria
Published: October 2017

Riassunto: Lo scritto affronta le questioni che circondano la pronuncia dell’addebito della separazione nel diritto internazionale privato dell’Unione europea, segnatamente alla luce dell’autonomo concetto di “causa” del divorzio e della separazione personale accolto nel regolamento (CE) n. 2201/2003 e nel regolamento (UE) n. 1259/2010. Su questa base, lo studio indica per quali ragioni, malgrado la dichiarata intenzione del legislatore europeo di non volersi occupare delle cause della crisi, si debba ritenere che la pronuncia relativa all’addebito soggiaccia alla disciplina internazionalprivatistica racchiusa nei regolamenti in questione.Parole chiave: Addebito della separazione, cause del divorzio e della separazione, Regolamento (CE) n. 2201/2003; Regolamento (UE) n. 1259/2010.Abstract: The essay tackles the distinctive features of the autonomous concept of “grounds”for divorce and legal separation contained in Regulation (EC) n. 2201/2003 and Regulation (EU) n. 1259/2010. Relying on this basis, the analysis indicates the reasons why, although the asserted intention of the European legislator not to deal with the grounds for the matrimonial crisis, judicial decisions as to the causes of separation should be submitted to the rules set forth by the abovementioned regulations.Keywords: causes of divorce and legal separation, Regulation (EC) n. 2201/2003, Regulation (EU) n. 1259/2010.
Libre circulación de personas y Derecho Internacional Privado: un análisis a la luz de la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea = Free movement of persons and International Private Law: an analysis in the light of the case law of the European Court of Justice

Resumen: El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la interacción entre la libre circulación de per-sonas y el Derecho internacional privado. Mediante esta dimensión se profundiza en la esencia de esta movilidad intra-UE, al tiempo que se calibra el alcance del status civitatis europeo. Este estudio se sus-tenta en una jurisprudencia reciente –si  bien consolidada– del TJUE en la que se garantiza no sólo el desplazamiento sino también el reconocimiento de situaciones privadas en el espacio europeo, y ello con independencia de la regulación material o conflictual del Estado miembro de acogida. En esta acción, la persona tanto física como jurídica trasciende su propio Derecho nacional y adquiere una auténtica dimensión “europea”.Palabras clave: libre circulación de personas, ciudadanía de la Unión, Derecho internacional pri-vado, estatuto personal.Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse the interaction between the free movement of persons and private international law. This dimension deepens in the essence of this intra-EU mobility, at the same time as measuring the scope of the European status civitatis. This study is based on recent –yet already well defined– case law of the CJEU, guaranteeing not only the movement but also the mutual recognition of civil situations into the common European space, independent of substantive or conflict rules of the host member state. With this action, both natural and legal person go beyond their own na-tional law in order to acquire a truly “European” dimension.Keywords: free movement of persons, European citizenship, Private International Law, personal status.
La competencia judicial internacional residual en materia contractual en España = The Spanish rules of residual jurisdiction in matters related to contract
Authors: Cebrián Salvat María Asunción
Published: October 2017

Resumen: Pese a que su ámbito de aplicación personal se expandió en la última reforma, el Re-glamento 1215/2012 (Bruselas I bis) no se aplica erga omnes, a diferencia los Reglamentos 593/2008 (Roma I) y 864/2007 (Roma II). En consecuencia, cuando se plantea un litigio de carácter contractual ante los tribunales de un Estado miembro y el demandado tiene su domicilio fuera de la Unión Europea, los tribunales que conocen del asunto tendrán que aplicar sus normas nacionales para determinar si dis-ponen de competencia judicial internacional. En este trabajo se analizan esas normas de competencia residuales aplicables en España, que han sido modificadas recientemente, y se defiende que las mismas han de interpretarse de forma independiente a sus homólogas europeas.Palabras clave: Normas de producción interna, competencia judicial internacional, competencia residual, foros, materia contractual, Ley Orgánica del Poder Judicial.Abstract: Although its personal scope was expanded in its latest reform, Regulation n. 1215/2012 (Brussels I Recast) does not apply erga omnes, in contrast with Regulations n. 593/2008 (Rome I) and 864/2007 (Rome II). As a consequence, when an action is brought before the courts of a Member State and the defendant is domiciled outside the European Union, these courts shall apply their domestic rules on international jurisdiction to assert their international jurisdiction. In this paper, the residual jurisdic-tion rules applicable in Spain are analyzed. The paper justifies its main hypothesis in determining that these rules shall be interpreted independently of European Regulations.Keywords: Domestic rules, international jurisdiction, residual jurisdiction in civil and commercial matters, matters relating to contract, Spanish Law on the Judiciary.

Algunas cuestiones a propósito del derecho de participación del autor de una obra de arte original sobre el precio de reventa (droit de suite ) = Some questions concerning the artist’s resale right (droit de suite)
Authors: Díez Soto Carlos Manuel
Published: October 2017

Resumen: La progresiva consolidación del llamado “derecho de participación” (droit de suite) delos artistas plásticos y gráficos en el Derecho español y en otros sistemas europeos se viene produciendo de forma paralela al proceso de armonización puesto en marcha por la Directiva 2001/84. Sin embargo, tanto en el ámbito de la propia Directiva como en el de los distintos Derechos nacionales subsisten todavía importantes incertidumbres a la hora de definir con claridad algunos aspectos relevantes de su régimen jurídico (presupuestos de activación, transmisión mortis causa, sujetos obligados, prescripción, legitimación de las entidades de gestión colectiva, etc.). Ello supone un indeseable factor de inseguridad y de perturbación a la hora de afrontar el complejo tema de la gestión del derecho de participación, poniendo así en peligro su propia viabilidad de cara al futuro.Palabras clave: Propiedad intelectual, derecho de participación, droit de suite, artistas visuales, mercado del arte.Abstract: The progressive consolidation of the so-called “resale right” (droit de suite) of plastic and graphic artists in Spanish law and in other european systems has been taking place in parallel with the process of harmonization launched at European level by Directive 2001/84. However, both within the scope of the Directive itself and in that of the different national laws, there are still important uncertainties in defining some relevant aspects of its legal regime (activation requirements, mortis causa transfer, persons subject to the payment, prescription, legitimation of collective management entities, etc.). This is an undesirable factor of insecurity and disruption when facing the complex issue of the management of the droit de suite, thus jeopardizing its viability for the future.Keywords: Intellectual property, artist’s resale right, droit de suite, visual artists, art market.
Lagunas en el Derecho Tributario de la Unión Europea = Gaps in the tax law of the European Union
Authors: López Espadafor Carlos María
Published: October 2017

Resumen: Si el Derecho Tributario de la Unión Europea aspira a un mayor desarrollo y legitimidad, necesariamente debería partir de la articulación de unos principios de justicia tributaria en la disciplina de la Unión. En ausencia de una Constitución Europea, sólo cabe la deducción de tales principios de los derechos fundamentales que forman parte del Derecho de la Unión. Es más, ni el fracasado proyecto de Constitución Europea daba expresamente respuesta a esta necesidad. Posteriormente, en los cuerpos normativos resultantes del Tratado de Lisboa, ni el Tratado de la Unión Europea, ni el Tratado de Funcionamiento de ésta, dieron tampoco respuesta expresa a esta necesidad.Palabras clave: Unión Europea, Derecho Tributario, principios, lagunas.Abstract: If the Tax Law of the European Union aspires to further development and legitimacy, it should necessarily start from the articulation of principles of tax justice in the discipline of the Union. In the absence of a European Constitution, the deduction of such principles is only possible from the fundamental rights included in the law of the Union. Moreover, even the failed draft European Constitution did not expressly address this need. Later, in the norms derived from Treaty of Lisbon neither the Treaty of the European Union nor the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union addressed expressly this need.Keywords: European Union, Tax Law, principles, gaps.

El fenómeno de la inmigración y el problema de los denominados “matrimonios de conveniencia” en España = The phenomenon of immigration and the problem of the denominated “convenience marriages”in Spain
Authors: Ortega Giménez Alfonso
Published: October 2017

Resumen: Los “matrimonios de conveniencia”, fenómeno muy común en los países sometidos a fuerte inmigración y que comienza a tener importancia en España, que ha pasado de ser “un país de emigración al extranjero”, a ser “un país receptor de ciudadanos que llegan de otros países para vivir aquí”. Mediante estos enlaces, no se busca en realidad contraer matrimonio entre un nacional y un extranjero, sino que se pretende bajo el ropaje de esta institución y generalmente previo precio, que un extranjero se aproveche de las ventajas del matrimonio a los efectos de regularizar su estancia en el país o de obtener de forma más fácil la nacionalidad del que aparecerá formalmente como su cónyuge.Palabras clave: matrimonios de conveniencia, inmigración, ley de extranjería, control legal.Abstract: “Marriages of convenience” is a very common problem in countries tied to high immigration and that begins to have enough importance in Spain, that has gone from being “a country of emigration abroad”, to being “a receiving country of citizens who come from other countries to live here”. Through the cover of this institution and generally for a price, a foreigner takes advantage of the benefits of marriage aiming to regularise his stay in the country or to obtain in an easier form the nationality of which will appear formally like its spouse.Keywords: marriages of convenience, inmigration, foreing law, legal control.
