Los Derechos Humanos y el primado de la razón práctica
Authors: FERNÁNDEZ MANZANO Juan Antonio
Published: May 2023

El trabajo trata dos cuestiones convergentes. La primera aborda la búsqueda de una fundamentación teórica transversal e incontrovertible en la que apoyar los Derechos Humanos. La segunda parte se ocupa de la relación entre derechos e igualdad de oportunidades. El tratamiento de ambas cuestiones muestra el primado normativo de la razón práctica frente a lo teórico y propone la necesidad de reformular la jerarquización de derechos de cuño rawlsiano.
Derechos humanos y edición digital
Authors: FERRARI NIETO Enrique
Published: May 2023

Ha querido entenderse internet como un medio de comunicación de masas más. Se ha tomado como cómplice también de la hiperrealidad, cambiándole a Baudrillard sus referentes, confundiéndolo con la realidad virtual, sin hacer caso de su estructura hipertextual. Pero, a diferencia de los otros medios, internet incrementa enormemente las fuentes de la información: tantas como usuarios. Con lo que, frente al relato consensuado por los pocos medios anteriores sobre los derechos humanos, que los había anquilosado, arrinconado, la edición digital colapsa esos derechos positivos, volviéndolos de nuevo acciones, actualizándolos.
Democracia y derechos humanos en la filosofía de Theodor W. Adorno
Authors: GALÉ ARGUDO Miguel Jesús
Published: May 2023

Si bien la cuestión relativa a los derechos humanos, a su legitimidad y función social no constituye un tema a priori decisivo en la filosofía de Theodor W. Adorno, sí es por el contrario una cuestión que aborda el autor que nos va a ocupar en las líneas que siguen. Y lo hace de tal modo que a través del tratamiento de dicha cuestión se suministran importantes claves a propósito de otros aspectos decisivos de su teoría; a saber: las relativas a la cosificación y objetivación del individuo en el capitalismo tardío y a la necesidad de articular una antropogénesis del fascismo.
Viejos y nuevos derechos en la sociedad del malestar
Authors: HERMIDA DEL LLANO Cristina
Published: May 2023

La interpretación evolutiva ha venido ganando fuerza en los últimos años en España no sólo redimensionando viejos derechos sino generando el nacimiento de derechos nuevos. Aquí se plantea si esta herramienta interpretativa deja en realidad los derechos fundamentales en manos de la opinión social mayoritaria. Se analiza esta problemática a partir de la STC 198/2012. Asimismo se reflexiona sobre cómo un entendimiento equivocado del principio de no discriminación puede contribuir a que se acreciente la denominada “sociedad del malestar” de nuestros días.
Libertad de expresión, ofensa y religión
Authors: BORAGNO GIL Irene
Published: May 2023

Este artículo analiza algunas confusiones que constituyen parte del trasfondo de los conflictos entre libertad de expresión y religión a los que hace referencia el informe del Consejo de Europa “Living Together: Combining Diversity and Freedom in 21st-century”. Una primera parte considera las limitaciones del principio del daño y de la ofensa y los problemas del lenguaje de la ofensa. En una segunda parte se distinguen dos planos de debate acerca de la libertad de expresión. Confundirlos dificulta la defensa de la libertad de expresión ante las exigencias de mayor limitación de la misma.
Educación y derechos humanos: una reflexión en torno al derecho a la privacidad
Authors: SÁNCHEZ ROJO Alberto
Published: May 2023

Hoy en día, con el desarrollo de las nuevas tecnologías e internet, tiempos y espacios están cambiando y, como consecuencia de esto, también lo están haciendo las formas de habitarlos humanamente. Si bien es importante la reflexión filosófica y educativa en torno a los derechos humanos en general, más lo es aún en periodo de cambio e innovación. Este trabajo pretende mostrar dicha importancia centrándose en uno de los derechos humanos que más se ha visto alterado en la era digital, el derecho a la privacidad, el cual garantiza la protección de un espacio sin cuya posesión resulta imposible vivir una vida humanamente digna.

Execution of the ECtHR Judgment in Beizaras and Levickas v. Lithuania Case: Effectiveness and Legal Implications
Authors: Bruskina Nika
Published: May 2023

In Beizaras and Levickas v. Lithuania case (Application No. 41288/15), the European Court of Human Rights found violations of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms as the Lithuanian law enforcement authorities had failed to start pre-investigation into allegations of homophobic hate speech directed against the applicants and the applicants thus suffered discrimination on the grounds of their sexual orientation. On 1 December 2021 the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, supervising execution of the final judgment of the Court, welcomed the execution measures taken by the Lithuanian authorities and decided to continue the examination of Beizaras and Levickas case under the standard procedure instead of the enhanced one. First, this article recapitalutes the individual and general measures taken by the Lithuanian authorities seeking to execute the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights and discerns the factors which led to effective execution of the judgment. Second, the article demonstrates the positive impact of effective execution on any other similar cases pending both at the domestic level and before the ECtHR not only against Lithuania, but also against other Contracting States.

Published: May 2023

Striae distensae (SD) better known as stretch marks, are a common disfiguring skin disorder, visible as linear scars which develop in areas of dermal damage as a result of excessive stretching of the skin. Despite being a benign lesion, it causes great psychological impacts for patients. We report a series of cases with 10 female patients, aged 19-45 years, with striae alba, located on the thighs, buttocks, breasts, abdomen, legs and arms, treated with 3 monthly sessions of Percutaneous Medicated Microinfusion (MMP®) using a sterile product composed of elastin, chondroitin, ascorbic acid and hyaluronic acid. After treatment, the degree of patient satisfaction was assessed by applying a visual analogue scale (VAS), graded from zero to ten points. In addition, through the photographic record, we evaluated the density of stretch marks, size, thickness, brightness and depth, comparing the before and after photos 1 month after the end of the three sessions. The patients classified the responses between moderate and good at the end of the treatment.
El efecto de la poda de Acropora palmata como estrategia para la obtención de tejido vivo en acciones de restauración arrecifal
Authors: Padilla Souza Claudia , Navarro Espinoza Eduardo , García Medrano Diego , González Vázquez David , Gutiérrez Plata Sara , Ramírez Mata Eloy , Estrada Saldívar Nuria
Published: May 2023

Introducción: Los arrecifes de coral son ecosistemas altamente degradados, por lo que ha sido necesario implementar acciones de restauración activa para recuperar su estructura y funcionamiento. Se ha implementado la propagación clonal para obtener fragmentos pequeños (~ 10 cm) de las ramas distales de colonias donadoras de corales de la especie Acropora palmata, para posteriormente fijarlos en el sustrato arrecifal, simulando el efecto de dispersión que ocurre de manera natural en esta especie, a lo que en este trabajo se denomina “dispersión asistida”. Sin embargo, es necesario evaluar los efectos de esta técnica como son: la cantidad de fragmentos que se puede obtener de cada colonia, el periodo de recuperación de tejido de las colonias donadoras y los fragmentos sembrados. 

Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de poda en las colonias donadoras estimando el porcentaje de tejido podado de colonias donadoras de A. palmata y su tasa de recuperación 30 meses después. 

Métodos: Se realizaron cuatro monitoreos: antes, inmediatamente después de la poda, un mes después de la siembra, y 30 meses después, en cuatro colonias de A. palmata localizadas en el Parque Nacional Costa Occidental de Isla Mujeres, Punta Cancún y Punta Nizuc en el Caribe mexicano. La modelación 3D basada en fotogrametría se realizó con el software Agisoft Metashape Pro, mientras que las métricas de área de superficie de tejido, extensión radial y apical se obtuvieron mediante el software CloudCompare. 

Resultados: Posterior a la colecta de fragmentos de las colonias, se observó que el material utilizado en la dispersión asistida representa menos del 12% del tejido vivo. Después de un mes, las colonias donadoras presentaban una recuperación del 5% con tejido nuevo recubriendo las áreas de corte. Las colonias donadoras perdieron, en promedio, 65% de tejido vivo tras el impacto de cuatro huracanes, y en un caso la colonia fue totalmente eliminada, pero con los fragmentos sembrados se pudo conservar el genotipo. 

Conclusiones: La dispersión asistida podría incrementar el tejido vivo de corales ramificados en intervalos de tiempo relativamente cortos, sin comprometer la integridad de la colonia donadora, si se poda menos del 12%.

Eosinophilic oesophagitis is a complex multifactorial disorder and one of the leading causes of dysphagia in children and adults. An allergen-mediated inflammatory response is the underlying cause of this disease. Allergen-activated Th2 cells, eosinophils and interleukins 4, 5 and 13 play a major role in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic oesophagitis. Difficulties swallowing, especially dry food, and the related increase in chewing time, as well as episodes of oesophageal food impaction, often requiring endoscopic treatment, are the leading symptoms. Children develop nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, irritability and reluctance to consume foods. The incidence of eosinophilic oesophagitis has increased dramatically in recent years and is now estimated at approximately 42.2/100,000 per year in adults. Endoscopy followed by histopathological examination of at least six biopsy specimens taken from two different sections of the oesophagus is the gold diagnostic standard. The eosinophilic oesophagitis endoscopic reference score (EREFS) is used for endoscopy and the eosinophilic oesophagitis histologic scoring system (EoE HSS) is used for histopathology to objectify the assessment. Pharmacological and dietary therapies are of primary importance in eosinophilic oesophagitis. Proton pump inhibitors and glucocorticoids are most commonly used. Allergen-free diets significantly contribute to the achievement of permanent histological and clinical remission. In the case of permanent oesophageal remodelling, endoscopic and/or surgical treatment should be considered.

Infraocclusion is a developmental abnormality that affects a tooth lying below the plane of occlusion. It is most common in children with mixed dentition, past the age of six. It is usually noticeable in the posterior part of the dental arch, involving one of the deciduous molars. The presence of infraocclusion can be identified by clinical examination or on radiographs. The aim of the study was to present a literature review on the incidence of infraocclusion in primary molars in children in various populations and on further clinical management. The review covered publications from the last 20 years. The following online databases were searched: PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Eight scientific papers were eligible for the review. The inclusion criteria were as follows: children, without systemic diseases or syndromes, with infraocclusion. The analysed studies show that the process usually affects a small number of teeth – most children present two infraoccluded molars. The condition shows no predilection for any sex. Across different populations, the percentage of children affected by infraocclusion ranges from 2.8% to 21.8%. With age, there is a decrease in the incidence of mild infraocclusion, and an increase in the incidence of the moderate (ages 8–10) and severe (ages 11–13) forms of the condition. Our review reveals that infraocclusion most often affects the teeth in the mandible, mainly the first primary molars and, in older children, the second molars. The treatment of patients should be planned individually, considering the age of the subjects and their clinical status. Tooth extraction is performed in extremely severe cases, which are uncommon.

Introduction: Ever since coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first identified in December 2019, it has infected millions of people and resulted in more than 6.86 million deaths worldwide. Numerous novel manifestations have emerged ensuing COVID-19 and even though a full 2-year period has passed, the ongoing pandemic remains a conundrum, especially to the healthcare system. Dysphonia, or a disorder of the voice, is among the novel manifestations that have emerged. Aim of the study: To outline the outcome of new-onset dysphonia presentation in COVID-19 patients in a single tertiary centre. Case study: We aim to discuss the clinical presentation and outcome of the 3 cases that we managed in our centre to help understand the course and outcome of new-onset dysphonia among COVID-19 patients. Result and discussion: We found that despite its viral origin, dysphonia in COVID-19 patients persisted for longer compared to other viral-induced dysphonia. New-onset dysphonia is a possible silent manifestation of COVID-19.

Aim of the study: To emphasise the importance of meticulous history taking and physical examination as well as to raise the awareness of various possibilities in the diagnosis and management of retropharyngeal abscesses in children. Case study: Retropharyngeal abscess commonly occurs in children under 4 years of age following upper respiratory tract infection or ear infection. Commonly, the presentation includes fever, odynophagia, and airway obstruction. The features may mimic epiglottitis and meningitis, which can delay appropriate treatment. We describe a case of a 4-year old boy who presented with fever, neck swelling, dysphagia, and torticollis. He was initially referred for a peritonsillar abscess. Computed tomography of the neck showed a collection in the retropharyngeal space. The child underwent incision and drainage, completed a 2-week course of antibiotics, and completely recovered. Conclusion: We highlight the importance of early diagnosis and prompt management of the condition to avoid life-threatening complications.
When drug-centred psychopharmacology meets person-centred psychopharmacotherapy – antidepressants
Authors:   Harmonia Luxmed Medical Center, Warsaw, Poland, Murawiec Sławomir
Published: May 2023

A vibrant discussion on the monoamine theory of depression and the use of serotonergic modulators in the treatment of this disorder was triggered by a systematic review published by Moncrieff et al. in “Molecular Psychiatry” in 2022. Many experts considered this work as referring to a hypothesis that now is only of historical significance. Another publication, co-authored by Moncrieff, proposed a useful approach to both action and clinical use of psychopharmacotherapy. The drug-centred model postulates that psychoactive agents are substances that affect symptoms indirectly, by exerting specific effects on physiological phenomena underlying mental, emotional and behavioural processes. When planning therapeutic strategy, it should be assessed whether the expected effects of a given medication on mental function and behaviour may prove beneficial in a particular life situation of the person being treated. Therefore, pharmacotherapy can be considered in terms of its impact on mental functions, which may turn out positive (not only for depression, but also for anxiety and other disorders), rather than targeting a specific abnormality. The paper presents different approaches within this framework, including a model based on creative person-centred narrative psychopharmacotherapy (CP-CNP) described by Jakovljević. Combining drug-centred and person-centred psychopharmacotherapy may be the basis for understanding the pharmacological treatment of mental disorders. In the context of the controversy aroused by Moncrieff et al., it can be pointed out that agents known to modulate serotonin transmission modify certain serotonin-mediated mental functions, which may aid the treatment of depression and many other conditions. Therefore, it is not a mechanically understood antidepressant effect. Serotonin modulators are useful in the treatment of depression, as evidenced by both scientific research and the experiences of millions of patients. However, these drugs have a complex, multistage action, which needs to be considered to avoid misunderstandings and oversimplifications.

Published: May 2023

A lo largo de este artículo, realizamos un recorrido por las vidas de diferentes mujeres españolas y portuguesas de nuestro pasado. Hemos elegido un marco cronológico de larga duración, pues iniciamos esta investigación con doña Urraca Díaz de Haro, cuya vida acontece en el siglo XIII, y finalizaremos con Emilia das Neves perteneciente al siglo XIX. Asimismo, centramos nuestra atención en sus respectivos monumentos funerarios como elementos histórico-artísticos que evocan su memoria. A través de la exploración de estas obras hemos comprobado cómo, a lo largo de los siglos, se han modificado tanto la tipología como la iconografía en el arte fúnebre de la península ibérica. Por último, presentamos un análisis comparativo entre los sepulcros de ambos países, para comprobar cuáles son los aspectos que los asemejan o diferencian.

IL2RB affects Th1/Th2 and Th17 responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from septic patients
Authors: Zhou Jiaqian , Zhang Ying , Zhuang Qing
Published: May 2023

Background: Immune dysfunction is a common and serious complication of sepsis. This study finds key genes linked to immunity in sepsis.
Methods: The “Limma package” was used to analyze GSE154918 datasets for differentially expressed genes. The differentially expressed genes were then enriched for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway, and interleukin 2 receptor subunit Beta (IL2RB) protein coding gene was chosen for investigation. IL2RB expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was assessed by polymerase chain reaction. White blood cells of septic patients and healthy controls were collected from hospitals and linked with acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) of septic patients using Pearson’s correlation analysis. PBMC cells were transfected with IL2RB, and the effect of transfection was observed on cellular interferon gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-12, IL-4, IL-10, and IL-17A.
Results: A total of 686 differential genes, comprising 446 upregulated and 240 down regulated genes, were identified. The enrichment of KEGG pathway revealed that the majority of differential genes were enriched in the T helper (Th1)/Th2 cell and Th17 cell differentiation pathways. In patients with sepsis, correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between IL2RB and APACHE II score, SOFA score, CRP, and PCT. IFN-γ and IL-12 levels were elevated in PBMC of septic patients after IL2RB transfection, but IL-4, IL-10, and IL-17A levels were lowered.
Conclusion: Sepsis-induced immunological dysfunction is improved by IL2RB, which also balances Th1/Th2 responses and prevents Th17 activation.

Published: May 2023

Este texto é parte de uma pesquisa de pós-doutoramento na Universidade da Beira Interior, em Portugal. O foco é a Assembleia de Deus da Covilhã, situada na região das Beiras, onde se concentra o maior polo de lanifícios da península ibérica. A cidade abriga, também, a referida universidade, que recebe, anualmente, centenas de estudantes estrangeiros. O artigo trata das origens da comunidade pentecostal, com base em depoimentos dos membros mais antigos. É possível perceber singularidades sobre a implantação e desenvolvimento do movimento pentecostal na Covilhã, na leitura dessa abordagem histórica e sociológica, em comparação com o que aconteceu no restante do país. O pentecostalismo português ainda se comporta como seita, no sentido weberiano do termo.

Relacje białorusko-chińskie. W poszukiwaniu strategicznego sojusznika?
Authors:   Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu, Czwołek Arkadiusz
Published: May 2023

This publication analyses of Byelorussian and Chinese relations in the years 2010–2013. The paper discusses Byelorussian and Chinese economic cooperation. In Byelorussian politics, China’s role becomes increasingly more important. Chinese loans stabilise the macroeconomic situation of Byelorussia, but at the same time, increase its foreign debt. The increasing Chinese political, economic and military interests in Byelorussia raises Russia’s concern, although the Chinese do not interfere with crucial Russian interests in that area. The conducted research indicates that there is no threat of serious tensions between Moscow and Beijing. The geopolitical location of Byelorussia is a significant asset for China, as it opens to it opportunities for economic expansion to the EU and the Customs Union markets. In Chinese politics, Byelorussia’s role is not significant and the chances of Byelorussia becoming a strategic partner of China are small, although such are expectations of the Byelorussian side.

Not all French proposals were accepted, but it certainly can be said that during the French presidency in 2008, its position on the various issues discussed by the EU is clearly marked.
Polityczno-militarne uwarunkowania Ofensywy Wielkanocnej z 1972 roku
Authors:   Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu, Benken Przemysław
Published: May 2023

The subject of this article is to present one of the Vietnam War’s biggest campaigns called The Easter Offensive of 1972 genesis. This major attack was fully conducted by the People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN) against the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN – the regular army of South Vietnam) supported by the United States military forces. The Easter Offensive took place during the Vietnam War, between 30th March and 22nd October 1972. This conventional invasion (the largest offensive operation undertaken since 300 000 Chinese, so called ‘volunteers’, had crossed the Yalu River into North Korea during the Korean War) was a radical departure from previous North Vietnamese offensives, based mostly on ‘guerilla warfare’ tactics and small units actions. The offensive was not originally designed to win the decisive victory over South Vietnam. Communists in Hanoi who’s aim was to gain as much territory and destroy as many units of the ARVN as possible, thus improve the North’s negotiating position as the Paris Peace Accords drew at that time toward a conclusion.

The article points out, that The Justice and Development Party can be defined as an islamic-leaning, democratic party, which results from its islamic roots and the strong emphasis on democratization of the state. The Activity of Justice and Development Party contributed to the implementation of democratic reforms, the growth in the economy and the progress in process of becoming a member of the European Union. The Actions of Justice and Development Party do not pose a threat for the secular Republic of Turkey, since they gave up ideas, that refered to Islam and started to put stress on democracy, the state of law and the protection of human rights. The Justice and Development Party advocates deepening the process of the democratization and westernization, understood as an expansion of strategic connections with the European Union, which would close with the accession of Turkey to the European Union and widening its cooperation with the United States of America.
Automated trackspinning of aligned lignin fibers as precursors of green carbon nanofibers
Authors: Jao Dave , Heinz Abigail , Stanzione III Joseph F , Beachley Vince Z
Published: May 2023

At present, most carbon fibers are made from non-renewable polyacrylonitrile. Substantial efforts have been made to replace petroleum-based precursors for carbon fiber production. Interestingly, lignin is a carbon fiber precursor material that is cheap, highly available and sustainable. Submicron-scale lignin-based carbon nanofibers are used in numerous areas, such as electronic devices, batteries, supercapacitors and low-cost, high-performance structural composite materials. Trackspinning (TS) technology offers a way to scale up the versatile, but inefficient contact drawing technique to produce small-diameter lignin fibers from environmentally friendly aqueous solutions. In this study, the effects of TS based on probe drawing of low-concentration lignin nanofibers blended with poly(ethylene oxide) and glycerol in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution were investigated. The TS lignin fibers were well aligned and reached diameters as small as 500–1000 nm as the drawing length was increased. Lignin fiber macromolecular alignment was isotropic at low levels of draw, and the dichroic ratio increased from 1 to 2.25 with doubling of the drawing length. The most highly drawn trackspun lignin fibers had a mechanical strength of 3.92 MPa and a Young’s modulus of 2.15 GPa, which were similar to reported values for solvent-electrospun lignin nanofibers. These findings support the potential to utilize TS to produce small-diameter lignin fibers using a simple aqueous solvent approach.
Localized eigenfunctions in the asymptotic model of the spectral problem
Authors:   Khakas State University, Molchanova Evgeniya A.
Published: May 2023

Localized eigenfunctions in the two-dimensional spectral problem containing a small parameter with higher derivatives are constructed on the expected solution form. Localization in this context means that the solution exponentially decays in both direc-tions starting from the "weakest" point or line. The constructions are based on the algo-rithm introduced by V.P. Maslov. A modification of this algorithm for the thin shell theory problems is given as an application. The paper shows implementation of the algorithm to obtain formulas giving eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions. An example of solving a specific problem is given, illustrating stages of the applied asymptotic model.

This paper discusses the capabilities of a two-fluid turbulence model for solving complex physical problems such as separated flow around a square cylinder and laminar-turbulent flow in a suddenly expanding channel. The numerical solution to the system of hydrodynamic equations is implemented using a finite-difference scheme. At each time step, the velocities are corrected through pressure calculations according to the SIMPLE algorithm. For verification purposes, the obtained numerical results are compared with available experimental data. A comparison of numerical results has shown that the two-fluid model is easy to implement, requires less computational resources and is capable of predicting laminar and turbulent flows with high accuracy.

Differentiation of human cortical neurons (CNs) from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and their coculture with rat astrocytes v2
Authors: Do Quyen
Published: May 2023

This protocol described the production of human cortical neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells in cocultured with commercially available rat astrocytes. The differentiation protocol of cortical neurons is adapted and modified from Shi, Y. et al., 2012 (pharmacologically directed) and Zhang, Y. et al., 2013 (transcription factor directed), as previously described by Hedegaard et.al., 2020. These neurons exhibited molecular and functional hallmarks of cortical neurons; co-culture with rat astrocytes enhanced functional activities of these neurons.

Die vorliegende Veröffentlichung beschreibt, wie KI  hinsichtlich ihrer Zertifizierungsfähigkeit als qualifizierte  Software für den Einsatz in sicherheitskritischen  Anwendungen bewertet werden kann. Derzeit existiert   dafür kein standardisierter Prozess. Als Beispiel wird der  Concept Report für IEC 61508 und ISO 26262 des  Softwaretools paitron von modelwise herangezogen. Die  vom TÜV SÜD geforderten Analysen und Dokumente  werden erläutert, aber auch was bei der  Werkzeugentwicklung und -nutzung zu beachten ist, um  erfolgreich ein sicherheitskritisches Werkzeug einzuführen.  Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit beschäftigen sich darüber  hinaus mit der aktuellen Diskussion über die Qualifizierung  von KI, und inwieweit KI in der Funktionalen Sicherheit eingesetzt werden kann.
Exploring the Relationship Between Social Movement Organizations and the State in Latin America
Authors: Kestler Thomas
Published: May 2023

Under conditions of weak statehood, societal actors are supposed to assume functions usually attributed to the state. Social self-organization is expected to emerge when the state leaves important social problems unattended. Should social self-organization, therefore, be regarded as a reaction to state weakness and as compensation for state failure in the provision of basic services? Does society organize itself on its own in areas where the state is absent or ineffective? By the example of two Latin American social movements, this article aims to show that social self-organization—at least on a larger scale—is not independent of the state, but rather a result of a dynamic interaction with the state. The two examples this article explores are the middle-class Venezuelan neighborhood movement and the Argentine piquetero movement of unemployed workers. Both movements emerged as reactions to the state’s failure and retreat from essential social functions and both developed into extensive and influential social actors. For that reason, they can be regarded as crucial cases for observing the patterns and conditions of social self-organization and autonomous collective action within the specific Latin American context. Despite their different backgrounds and social bases, the two cases reveal remarkable similarities. They show that the emergence and development of self-organized social groups cannot be conceived simply as a reaction to state weakness, but rather should be viewed as a dynamic interaction with the state.
Bidi Bidi Creativity: The Liminality of Digital Inclusion for Refugees in Ugandan Higher Education
Authors: Gallagher Michael , Najjuma Rovincer , Nambi Rebecca
Published: May 2023

Educational inclusion for refugees is increasingly being framed through digital technologies. This is problematically characterised at the macro level by global and national narratives that portray the digital as an external and universal force capable of radical transformation and inclusion, and at the micro level with more nuanced accounts that acknowledge an already‐present political economy of technology of everyday practices of (non)adoption and use. Particularly for refugees, inclusion is further characterised by a persistent liminality with its attendant experiences of transition and tentativeness. Digital inclusion becomes an ongoing act of managing these liminal experiences, noting where barriers exist that stall efforts at further assimilation, and developing practices or workarounds that attempt to move refugees away from the margins of social inclusion. Such management is inherently precarious, and one made even more precarious in digital spaces, where inclusion is increasingly intertwined with systems of control and surveillance. To illustrate this, this article presents findings from a project exploring educational participation by refugee students in Ugandan universities. It notes the subtle tensions that emerge from the expectations of participation in university life, and Ugandan life more broadly, amidst digital structures and narratives that complicate inclusion. In this article, we argue that more nuanced conceptualisations of digital inclusion, ones rooted in liminal experiences, are needed to anchor digital technologies in refugee communities.
TOOLS FOR IMPLEMENTING CORPORATE TIME-МANAGEMENT UNDER DIGITIZATION OF MANAGEMENT PROCESSES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Olikh L.
Published: May 2023

Time-management is one of the current trends in the development of modern management science. The author presents management science’s school representatives’ approaches to time as a resource and its meaning in management science. The study shows that the main stages of timemanagement form an independent branch of science. The uniqueness of time- management is that its theory and practice are very close and rather individual due to circumstances. Authors of books on various time-management techniques often describe their own experience of their use. Our research has shown that applying the same time-management techniques yields different results for different people, groups, and companies. This article summarizes the tools of time-management. The most common computer programs for forming and implementing a corporate timemanagement system are singled out and characterized. The essence of their work is revealed, and characteristic features that emphasize their main advantages are given. The presented research results indicate that a third of the enterprise’s problems with productivity and labor efficiency is related to the time-using approach. One of the ways to overcome this problem is to introduce a corporate time-management system at the enterprise. Under current conditions, it is advisable to use computer programs to develop and implement an effective corporate time-management system. The most common programs for effective organization and use of time in the company are Asana, Basecamp, Jira, Redmine, Todoist, Trello. These programs have a classic set of functions for effective planning, organization, and use of time. They are mostly easy to use and synchronize with applications essential to teams of various sizes. The programs are flexible in use. It is also advantageous that their developers constantly work on improving the programs considering modern market requirements.

Published: May 2023

Teknoloji, ülkelerin üretim verimliliğini arttırmanın yanında uluslararası ticarette rekabet gücünü tahkim edecek bileşenlerden birisidir. Ülkeler teknolojiye ulaşmak için iki yöntemden birini tercih ederler. Ülke dışında geliştirilmiş teknolojiyi transfer etmek bu yöntemlerden birisidir. Teknoloji transferinde ülkenin dışa açıklık düzeyi belirleyicidir. İkinci yöntemde ise ülke, yeni teknoloji geliştirecek yatırımlara yönelecektir. Yeni teknoloji geliştirmek bir taraftan ülkenin beşeri sermaye stokuna diğer taraftan Ar-Ge için ayırabileceği kaynak büyüklüğüne bağlıdır. Bu çalışmada G-20 ülkelerinde ticari açıklık ile Ar-Ge harcamaları arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. 1996-2019 dönemine ait yıllık veriler kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi Emirmahmutoğlu ve Köse (2011) Panel Nedensellik Testi nedensellik testi ile incelenmiş ve Ar-Ge harcamalarından ticari açıklığa doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmuştur.
ENGELLİ HASTALARA YÖNELİK TIBBİ SOSYAL HİZMETLERDE HASTANE YÖNETİMİNİN ROLÜ
Authors: Ertaş Muhammed Fatih , Bahçe Zeynep
Published: May 2023

Bu çalışma, engelli bireyin hastaneye başvurudan itibaren, teşhis ve tedavi süreçlerinde tıbbi sosyal hizmet ve hastane yönetimi bakımından müdahalelerin kapsamını, boyutlarını ve mevcut uygulamalar ve sorunları ortaya koymak üzere kaleme alınmıştır. Bu yönüyle sağlık yönetimi ve sosyal hizmet müdahalesi birlikte ele alınarak multidisipliner bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Engelli bireyin hastaneye başvurusundan tedavi süreçlerinin sonlanmasına kadar tüm süreç boyunca diğer hastalardan farklılaştıran prosedür ve uygulamalar gerekmektedir. Bu hastane süreçleri bazı vakalarda tek başına yeterli olmamakta, diğer kurumlarla iletişim ve paydaşlık zorunlu olmaktadır. Tıbbi sosyal hizmet bilhassa bu aşamada önemli rol ve işlevlere sahiptir.
Araştırmada nitel yöntem kullanılmıştır. Engelli bireyin hastane sürecinde sosyal hizmetin planlı müdahale aşamalarının her birinde hastane yönetiminin belirli rolleri olduğu gerçeğinden hareketle, bu rolleri içerebilecek iki vaka kurgulanmıştır. Bu kurgular, hastanede görev yapan yazarın uzun yıllar süren gözlemlerinden yararlanılarak, mevcut mevzuata ve işleyişe uygun tasarlanmıştır. Vaka kurgulamak suretiyle olası durumlarda yaşanacak sorunların da yansıtılması hedeflenmiştir. Vakaların analizinde tıbbi sosyal hizmetin rolleri kapsamında yer yer hastane dışındaki süreçlere değinilmekle birlikte analizleri çerçevesi hastane yönetimi ve tıbbi sosyal hizmetin sınırlarında tutulmaya çalışılmıştır.
Teorik çerçeve ortaya konulduktan sonra, vakaların planlı müdahale aşamalarında hastane yönetiminin rol ve işlevlerine dikkat çekilmiştir. Böylece sağlık yönetimi ve tıbbi sosyal hizmet perspektifiyle vakalar üzerinden analiz yapılmış, yaşanan sorunlar tespit edilerek çözüm önerileri geliştirilmiştir.
