Ukraine is positioned as a country with a strong tourism potential, much of which still remains unrealized. The main task of the study is to segment the regions of Ukraine according to the level of their tourism development. Attribute-cluster analysis using k-means and k-means ++ technologies was used to solve the problem. Territorial distribution showed clear priorities for the development of certain types of tourism in geospatial context: northeast direction – priority development of business tourism; southern direction – priority development of recreational tourism; western direction – priority development of health tourism; center – emphasis on the development of cultural and historical tourism.
TOURISTS AND LOCAL COMMUNITY OF THE CASE STUDY AQABA SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE AUTHORITY (ASEZA)
Authors:   The University of Jordan, Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality, Department of Hotel Management, Jordan, JAWABREH Omar A.A.
Published: June 2021

The research aims to examine the shared effect of tourism in Aqaba and the Jordanian host culture. Despite the presence of preferences and developments in tourism opportunities and problems, despite the fact that these circumstances are marked by, uncertainty, and personal shifts, the local community's behaviour and attitudes towards the tourism industry are highly dependent on them. A questionnaire was circulated to a group of (1200) people living in Aqaba to accomplish this goal. From 1/1/2019 until 30/12/2019, the allocation and restitution took one year, taking into account the low and high tourism seasons. In order to assess the most important facets of the socio-cultural and economic impacts of tourism in these regions, the questionnaire was circulated to the survey participants in order to measure attitudes towards tourism. This analysis is an exploratory, empirical study that follows the process of obtaining and reviewing knowledge to draw conclusions. To assess the degree of significance for the study questions, the researchers used the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, T-test and ANOVA test. The findings revealed that the economic sub-scale was the highest degree of attitudes towards tourism, while the lowest was the social sub-scale. This research provides a better understanding of the social and cultural effects of tourism and the host culture in Jordan, in order to establish a holistic growth of sustainable tourism in Aqaba. It is possible to submit and further test the new model at another destination in Jordan.

Authors: Lozano De Ávila Carlos Alberto , Martínez-Estrada Gustavo Antonio , Ramos-Clason Enrique Carlos , Duque-Atencio Vanessa , Maza-Manjarrez Alicia Paz
Published: June 2021

Introducción. La mastitis granulomatosa crónica es una enfermedad inflamatoria poco frecuente y con mayor incidencia en el sexo femenino. Su sintomatología y su presentación clínica causan gran ansiedad tanto en el paciente como en el personal médico, debido a su comportamiento similar al de la patología mamaria maligna. No hay una etiología clara ni un manejo terapéutico definido. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las características clínico-patológicas, el tratamiento y la evolución de las pacientes con mastitis granulomatosa, durante el periodo de estudio.

Métodos. Estudio retrospectivo en el que se revisaron las historias clínicas de pacientes con diagnóstico y manejo de trastorno inflamatorio de la mama no especificado (N61X), entre enero de 2010 y diciembre de 2019. Se encontraron 236 pacientes, se excluyeron 176 por no cumplir con el diagnóstico de mastitis granulomatosa crónica o por no tener un seguimiento adecuado. Se evaluaron las características sociodemográficas, clínicas y de evolución, comparando la respuesta que se obtuvo con cada tratamiento.

Resultados. Se incluyeron 60 pacientes femeninas que presentaron manifestaciones variadas. El 38,3 % (n=23) recibieron manejo antibiótico, el 30 % (n=18) fue tratado con corticoides, el 8,3 % (n=5) recibió antibióticos más corticoides y se realizó manejo expectante en el 16,6 % (n=10). El 6,6 % (n=4) de los pacientes fueron llevados a cirugía.

Discusión. La mejor respuesta y la menor tasa de recidiva se encontró en las pacientes que fueron sometidas a observación y en aquellas que recibieron corticoides.

ENVELHECIMENTO, ASPECTOS SOCIOCULTURAIS E SUAS APROXIMAÇÕES COM A TERAPIA OCUPACIONAL
Authors: Carvalho Claudia Reinoso Araujo de , Malfitano Ana Paula Serrata , Lopes Roseli Esquerdo
Published: June 2021

O processo de envelhecimento populacional no Brasil e nos demais países da América Latina, de uma forma geral, ainda acontece em um contexto de pobreza, dificuldade de renda e fragilidade nas relações sociais. Este capítulo tem por objetivo refletir sobre as questões socioculturais que envolvem o envelhecimento no contexto latino-americano e suas aproximações com a terapia ocupacional, na perspectiva das intervenções coletivas e territoriais. A terapia ocupacional social no Brasil constitui um campo complexo e com múltiplas fronteiras, no qual se desenvolvem tecnologias e ações que buscam lidar com as questões decorrentes das desigualdades produzidas pelas contradições sociais que permeiam as sociedades capitalistas. Suas ações se voltam para públicos que têm a vulnerabilidade social como principal demanda (Barros; Ghirardi; Lopes, 2002; Lopes; Malfitano, 2016). A ideia de que há uma intrínseca associação entre as dimensões pessoal e social é inerente ao campo da terapia ocupacional social. Suas intervenções se dão a partir de uma perspectiva coletiva, compreendendo que questões microssociais estão sempre interrelacionadas com o contexto macrossocial. Entende-se, dessa forma, os terapeutas ocupacionais como articuladores políticos e mediadores sociais (Barros; Ghirardi; Lopes, 2002). Conforme Malfitano e Bianchi (2016), embora no Brasil a terapia ocupacional social seja uma área reconhecida e institucionalizada, na América Latina não há esse consenso quanto a esta área de atuação e os terapeutas ocupacionais dos demais países se organizam para lidar com a questão social de diferentes maneiras, tais como a atuação prática em saúde comunitária e as discussões teóricas sobre direitos humanos.
Do Peers Affect Undergraduates’ Decisions to Switch Majors?
Authors: Pu Shi , Yan Yu , Zhang Liang
Published: June 2021

In this study, dormitory room and social group assignment data from a college are used to investigate peer effects on college students’ decisions to switch majors. Results reveal strong evidence of such peer effects at both the room and the social group level. Most notably, at the room level, the dense concentration of same-major roommates deters students from switching majors; having one or two same-major roommates has no significant effect on major switching, indicating strong nonlinearity of peer effects at the room level. Such nonlinearity is not observed among social group members. Results also reveal evidence that students’ choices of new majors are affected by peers’ majors. Peers are more likely to choose the same destination majors than nonpeers. In choosing their new majors, students do not necessarily follow their peers indiscriminately. Their decisions seem to be influenced more by short-term academic requirements than by long-term job prospects. Finally, peer effects on major switching and major choices are stronger at the dormitory room level than at the social group level in most cases.
Transparency in Predictive Algorithms: A Judicial Perspective
Authors: Malek Md. Abdul
Published: June 2021

Although the
apparent hyperbole about the promises of AI algorithms has successfully entered
upon the judicial precincts; it has also procreated some robust concerns spanning
from unfairness, privacy invasion, bias, discrimination, and the lack of legitimacy to the lack of transparency and
explainability, etc. Notably, critics have
already denounced the current use
of the predictive algorithm in the judicial decision-making
process in many ways, and branded them as
ethically, legally, and technically distressing. So
contextually, whereas there is already an ongoing transparency debate on board,
this paper attempts to revisit, extend and contribute to such simmering debate
with a particular focus from a judicial perspective. Since there is a good
cause to preserve and promote trust and confidence in the judiciary as a whole,
a searchlight is beamed on exploring how and why justice algorithms ought to be
transparent as to their outcomes, with a sufficient level of explainability, interpretability,
intelligibility, and contestability. This paper also ends up delineating the
tentative paths to do away with black-box effects, and suggesting the way out for
the use of algorithms in the high-stake areas like the judicial settings.
Improving estimates accuracy of voter transitions. Two new algorithms for ecological inference based on linear programming
Authors: Pavia JoseM , Romero Rafael
Published: June 2021

The estimation of RxC ecological inference contingency tables from aggregate data defines one of the most salient and challenging problems in the field of quantitative social sciences. From the mathematical programming framework, this paper suggests a new direction for tackling this problem. For the first time in the literature, a procedure based on linear programming is proposed to attain estimates of local contingency tables. Based on this and the homogeneity hypothesis, we suggest two new ecological inference algorithms. These two new algorithms represent an important step forward in the ecological inference mathematical programming literature. In addition to generating estimates for local ecological inference contingency tables and amending the tendency to produce extreme transfer probability estimates previously observed in other mathematical programming procedures, they prove to be quite competitive and more accurate than the current linear programming baseline algorithm. The new algorithms place the linear programming approach once again in a prominent position in the ecological inference toolkit. We use a unique dataset with almost 500 elections, where the real transfer matrices are known, to assess their accuracy. Interested readers can easily use these new algorithms with the aid of the R package lphom.

Teachers’ science camp experiences in southern Chile: Strengthening teacher identity and continuing education
Authors: Silva Marta , Parra Michel , Reyes-Arriagada Ronnie , Brito Jennifer
Published: June 2021

Science camps for teachers have been held in Chile for several years and are recognized as important opportunities for continuing education, but they have been largely ignored as instances for impactful reflection on teacher self-assessment and identity. This article presents the analysis of teacher experiences at a science camp held in southern Chile called “Explora Va!”, which was designed not just as an instance for continuing education for teachers in scientific contents but also for individual and collaborative reflection aimed at strengthening educators’ skills as agents of change in their institutions. The question of this study was: how do the participants represent their teacher identities based on their experiences at the “Explora Va!” Camp? Using a qualitative approach, the results of the analysis of narratives from teachers’ camp journals are reported here. The narratives from these journals provide an account of two dimensions, personal and contextual, where the importance of the teaching profession and science teaching were explored beyond conventional disciplinary limits. Collaboration, innovation, and personal and professional growth at the camp served to signify and resignify professional identities based on common elements but attending to the particular circumstances and unique backgrounds of each teacher.

Sound change in spontaneous bilingual speech: A corpus study on the Cantonese n-l merger in Cantonese-English bilinguals
Authors: Soo Rachel , Johnson Khia A. , Babel Molly
Published: June 2021

In Cantonese and several other Chinese languages, /n/ is merging with /l/. The Cantonese merger appears categorical, with /n/ becoming /l/ word-initially. This project aims to describe the status of /n/ and /l/ in bilingual Cantonese and English speech to better understand individual differences at the interface of crosslinguistic influence and sound change. We examine bilingual speech using the SpiCE corpus, composed of speech from 34 early Cantonese-English bilinguals. Acoustic measures were collected on pre-vocalic nasal and lateral onsets in both languages. If bilinguals maintain separate representations for corresponding segments across languages, smaller differences between /n/ and /l/ are predicted in Cantonese compared to English. Measures of mid-frequency spectral tilt suggest that the /n/ and /l/ contrast is robustly maintained in English, but not Cantonese. The spacing of F2-F1 suggests small differences between Cantonese /n/ and /l/, and robust differences in English. While cross-language categories appear independent, substantial individual differences exist in the data. These data contribute to the understanding of the /n/ and /l/ merger in Cantonese and other Chinese languages, in addition to providing empirical and theoretical insights into crosslinguistic influence in early bilinguals.

MULTI-TENANTED RESIDENTS IN LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES IN LAGOS: THE RECEPTION AND PRECAUTIONS THROUGH MUSIC DURING COVID 19 ERA.
Authors: Nweke Florence Ewomazino , Timothy Gbenga Nubi , Oyalowo Basirat
Published: June 2021

Music generally served as a crucial tool of enlightenment, especially in awakening consciousness on COVID-19 preventive measures. The research was motivated by concern about the capacity of residents of multi-tenanted houses to adhere to these instructions via music presented in the form of jingles to an environment that lacks basic amenities and is overcrowding. The remarkable silence on coping strategies for these people emanating from both the state and the federal government and the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) directives on COVID-19 protection at the initial stage of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown necessitated the use of music. Many residents of multi-tenanted housing in Lagos continue to bear the impact of the six-week lockdown of 2020. Through an online survey as well as a virtual focus group discussion with selected members of the public and engagement through radio call-in programs on selected radio stations, the study concludes that the lockdown allowed people some quality time with their family. Many families experienced a significant loss of income, increased business instability, emotional stress, increased expenditure on food, and restiveness by homebound children and young adults. The role music played during the Ebola epidemic breakout was mentioned by callers during the call-in programs on radio, adding the influential role of music in enlightening the public on preventive measures. Such measures were imbibed by some of these residents who listened to musical jingles way back.

Science is a basic course that improves the individuals in terms of cognitive aspects and increases their creativity. The aim of the research is to examine the attitudes of Vietnamese elementary school students towardsthe science class in their school. Survey model was used for collecting the data pertaining to the study using a questionnaire where cluster sampling strategy was utilized to recruit participants. Data was obtained from 500 Vietnamese elementary school students studying on three different schools in Vietnam using the questionnaire developed using Science and Technology Course Attitude Scale (Yaşar, &Anagün, 2009).The Cronbach-Alpha internal integrity coefficient of the final version of the scale was used to determine the reliability of the test. The Vietnamese school students' attitudes towards science class were explored by a five point Likert scale. All the data obtained were analyzed by SPSS software and were evaluated at their attitudes towards science class. It was observed in the research that the Vietnamese elementary school students’ have an overall positive attitude towards science class in their country. Students with an aim of higher studies, securing scientific job as well as students of school from urban part of the country scored the science class in the school higher in comparison to their other counter peers. The education level of the parents of the students as well their economic status was found to have a significant influence on the students’ attitude towards science class. Gender of the students was also found to play a significant influence in molding their attitude towards science class.

Authors: Chen Kuo
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this research is to shed light on prevalent tendencies in student interactions during collaborative learning. Social networking, in particular, is seen as a means of constructing a contemporary educational reality that encourages more proactive and constructive learning activities. Emerging technology is presently mostly employed in the classroom, with little contribution to expected advancements in creative education. By understanding how information technology can drive many types of creativity and generate revenue, students may develop in-depth experience and capabilities. The question was how to incorporate interactive learning in such a way that soft talents might be developed.
Instrumental Variable Estimation in Demographic Studies: The LATE interpretation of the IV estimator with heterogenous effects
Authors: Breen Richard , Ermisch John
Published: June 2021

Heterogeneous effects of treatment on an outcome is a plausible assumption to make about the vast majority of causal relationships studied in the social sciences. In these circumstances the IV estimator is often interpreted as yielding an estimate of a Local Average Treatment Effect (LATE): a marginal change in the outcome for those whose treatment is changed by the variation of the particular instrument in the study. Our aim is to explain the relationship between the LATE parameter and its IV estimator by using a simple model which is easily accessible to applied researchers, and by relating the model to examples from the demographic literature. A focus of the paper is how additional heterogeneity in the instrument – treatment relationship affects the properties and interpretation of the IV estimator. We show that if the two kinds of heterogeneity are correlated, then the LATE parameter combines both the underlying treatment effects and the parameters from the instrument – treatment relationship. It is then a more complicated concept than many researchers realise.

Authors:   INION RAN, Pyastolov Sergei
Published: June 2021

VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity), according to experts of JRC (European Commission's Joint Research Centre), is now a special space that corrupts the integrity of science activity, limits thinking and vision of the situation by politicians. In fact, under such conditions, the only reliable resource for scientific organizations is a commercialization, and the payback is a condition of activity. These factors already pose a threat to global security. The mission orientation proposed by European Union experts is still seen as a rather weak alternative.

Factors of mass support for government in the times of structural reforms
Authors: Sokolov Boris , Kamalov Emil
Published: June 2021

Any country in order to stay afloat sooner or later is forced to undertake large-scale internal reforms in various policy areas. However, structural reforms often bear adverse consequences for the population. As the studies of the US and European states show, one of the most crucial negative consequences is the decrease in mass support for the government that has initiated the reform. The latter manifests itself in a drop of approval ratings, trust in government, propensity to vote for the incumbent at the forthcoming elections. Such a decrease may lead to decreased legitimacy of the political power, thereby destabilizing the current political system. Is it possible to strike the balance between the necessity of reform and upholding trust on the society’s behalf? Can a government carry out painful reforms without provoking hatred? What conditions facilitate such balance? Although the factors of mass support play the central role in nowadays’ political science, the answers to the questions mentioned above remain unanswered. This article examines different options available to governments in order to preserve their mass support and legitimacy when conducting unpopular reforms, with a special emphasis on media framing. Using various theoretical sources and the recent literature on political support in Russia, it identifies various factors that may facilitate the use of the latter option in the Russian context.

Authors:   Duy Tan University, Dinh Van Phuc
Published: June 2021

Pomelo fruit peel, an organic waste, was utilised as a biosorbent to remove Ni(II) from aqueous solutions. Some major factors influencing Ni(II) uptake such as pH, adsorption time, and initial Ni(II) concentration were examined. Several isotherm and kinetic models including the Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-diffusion models were fit to the experimental data. Results showed that the Ni(II) uptake obtained an equilibrium at pH=6 after 80 min at 303 K. The Sips isotherm model described the Ni(II) adsorption better than other models and the monoadsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir model was 9.67 mg/g. The adsorption of Ni(II) followed pseudo-second-order kinetic models with three stages.
Optimum sizing of members of truss structures using direct design and a self-adaptive mutationdifferential evolution
Authors:   Faculty of Building and Industrial Construction, National University of Civil Engineering, Ha Manh-Hung , Pham Hoang-Anh ,   Faculty of Building and Industrial Construction, National University of Civil Engineering
Published: June 2021

Direct design using nonlinear inelastic analysis has been recently enabled for structural design as this approach can directly predict the behaviour of a structure as a whole, which eliminates capacity checks for individual structural members. However, the use of direct design is often accompanied by excessive computational efforts, especially for complicated structural design problems such as optimization or reliability analysis. In this study, we introduce an efficient method for the sizing optimization of truss structures employing nonlinear inelastic analysis for the direct design of structures. The objective function is the total weight of the structure while the strength and serviceability constraints are evaluated with nonlinear inelastic analysis. To save computational cost, an improved differential evolution (DE) algorithm is employed. Compared to the conventional DE algorithm, the proposed method has two major improvements: (1) a self-adaptive mutation strategy based on the p-best method to enhance the balance between global and local searches and (2) use of the multi-comparison technique (MCT) to reduce redundant structural analyses. The numerical results of a 72-bar truss case study demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method has significant advantages over the traditional DE method.

This study used the updated 2018 input-output (IO) table to identify and analyse the production and consumption of seven different plastics including: HDPE, PS, PE, PET, PVC, PP, and others. The study also integrated the IO model to unveil the environmental burden of these plastics through the plastic demand of 40 economic sectors and households. As a result, in 2018, the amount of direct solid waste from the plastic industry was 58,147 tons and the amount of indirect solid waste from the plastic industry to other economic sectors and the household sector were 214,258 tons and 6,262 tons, respectively. Agriculture and its services, food processing, fashion manufacturing, basic chemical production, electrical and electronic equipment production, and transport production embodied the highest indirect burdens due to their use of plastic products. This study contributes to MFA research and developing strategies for sustainable production and consumption of plastics and the management of plastic waste in Vietnam.
Mutual Influence of The Orchestra and Concerto Principle in The 16th – First Half of The 17th Centuries
Authors: Rakochi Vadym
Published: June 2021

The interaction between the evolution of the orchestra and the concerto at the end of the late 16th — first half of the 17th centuries has been considered. Three levels of interaction are revealed. The first one is the basso continuo. There is little attention paid to the importance of this technique for the formation of the orchestra: the impact on the formation of instrumentalists’ collectives through the appearance of a homophonic way of presentation; combining different forces of sound of instruments; strengthening the bass line as a solid foundation for the entire vertical structure. The second level is the concerto principle. It is emphasized that during the 16th century the concerto meant ―ensemble‖ of any configuration. The strengthening of the instrumental component in the works of M. Uccellini, I. Baccusi, A. and J. Gabrieli, A. Banchieri had an impact on the transformation of the concerto principle. Initially, the principle appeared through the opposition of pitches and density of texture, eventually extends to the comparison of instrumental, mixed vocal-instrumental and vocal groups, thus stimulating contrast in the middle of an instrumental groups such as ensemble and orchestra. The third level of the interaction is embodied in the genre of madrigal (C. Monteverdi). It seems that the release of instruments, the diversification of their functions, the rejection of the permanent exact duplications and the increased role of the timbre obviously require an instrumental body as a stable structure for the implementation of all above mentioned. The development of musical instruments, the diversification of their functions, the use of sinfonia and ritornellos in the choral composition became a driven force for the modification of the concerto principle resulted in the intensification of the competitive origin in the orchestra with each decade. All the above encourages to revise the depth of interaction between the orchestra and concerto. The orchestra as an organized and multi-instrumental collective, designed to exhibit music beyond the church or theatrical genres, becomes the institutional basis for the embodiment of the concerto principle in a particular genre of the instrumental concerto.

The article presents the principles of road-climatic zoning of any mountain region. Only in each specific case, depending on the location of the area in latitude, the type of vertical natural belts, it is necessary to specify the boundaries of road and climatic zones in height.

The above proposals for assigning certain areas of the territory of the republic to a particular natural and climatic zone do not apply to those areas where there is a continuous occurrence of stony or stony soils in the upper layers.

For such sections, an individual approach to the design of road structures should be applied in each specific case.

Road-climatic zoning is the most effective way to refine the characteristics of soils, providing a significant improvement in the quality of design and construction of the roadbed.

The transition to sustainable development is impossible without a solution to the country's waste management problem. In addition, the achievement of the objectives of the Togolese Republic's transition strategy towards sustainable development determines the need to meet the main challenges. This is due to the reduction in the amount of Class 2 hazardous waste, represented by used batteries and used battery acid, the types of waste formed in most cases, are caused by people with a waste-producing activity of less than 50 tons per year (about 400 subjects of economic and other activity). Based on the above, we can say that the main priority axes of transition of sustainable development of Togo must respect the condition of greening economic processes, which will improve both the quality and the standard of living of the population, preserve and protect the ecology in the regions. The development of such a direction as agro-ecotourism makes it possible to comply with this requirement and fully comply with the principles of sustainable development. Then, for a more detailed study, we will evaluate the development of agro-ecotourism in the regions.

Análisis ontológico-existencial de la muerte en Ser y Tiempo de Heidegger
Authors: Ruiz Sosa Francisco Gabriel
Published: June 2021

El artículo que el autor presenta se centra en el análisis fenomenológico de la muerte proporcionado por Martin Heidegger en Ser y tiempo, con la finalidad de interpretarla ontológicamente. El camino a seguir en este escrito comienza conceptualizando la muerte en su sentido ontológico, asumida propiamente por el Dasein auténtico, o inauténticamente por el <>. Será menester relacionar la triple estructura del cuidado con la temporalidad en la que se inserta el Dasein, esto para distinguir el presentar del anticipar, de modo que atendiendo la voz de la conciencia, el Dasein asuma el modo propio del estar vuelto hacia la muerte.
La educación y el significado de la vida

Published: June 2021

La educación forma en nosotros una nueva perspectiva sobre la vida, el cómo desarrollarnos en ella, nos forma con códigos de eticidad, etc. La vida es de suma importancia ya que en ella nos podemos manifestar como personas en la realidad. Es decir, tenemos la plena libertad de conocer, de aprender y dar ese conocimiento aprendido, el significado de la vida, desde mi perspectiva y de la de Krishnamurti es formar en la libertad. J. Krishnamurti en su obra “la educación y el significado de la vida” nos muestra un panorama amplio sobre la problemática que existe en la sociedad postmoderna, a lo cual, daré algunos puntos importantes: La liberación de lo religioso; para él, el alumno debe de quitarse esos pensamientos religiosos que simplemente atarían su proceso de estudio. ¿De que qué liberación nos habla? Precisamente de liberarse de creencias, ritos, falsas esperanzas y temores que simplemente coaccionan su libertad y su voluntad.
Enfoques y perspectivas contemporáneas del proyecto cosmopolita de los derechos humanos
Authors: Lira Rosiles José
Published: June 2021

Esta investigación tiene como propósito realizar una cartografía de las corrientes y variantes principales de cosmopolitismo contemporáneo, explorando sus dimensiones y alcances. El cosmopolitismo es una corriente filosófica, jurídica y política muy diversa, siendo incorrecta su interpretación como un paradigma homogéneo que se decanta en la propuesta de un Estado de Estados, civitas maxima o Estado mundial. Esta consideración es importante sobre todo al evaluar la crítica anticosmopolita de pensadores como Carl Schmitt o Danilo Zolo. Tras esta exploración el artículo tiene como propósito resaltar que la categoría ciudadano del mundo (kosmopolites, Weltbürger) constituye el concepto central del cosmopolitismo contemporáneo de carácter federalista, el cual tiene como núcleo normativo y jurídico la doctrina de los derechos humanos.
