Analisis Hukum Perlawanan Pihak Ketiga Selaku Pemilik PPJB terhadap Sita Umum Boedel Pailit
Authors: Khairunisa Sarah Faizurah , Gultom Elisatris , Suryamah Aam
Published: November 2024

Third-party objections to seizure are a form of gugatan lain-lain regulated by Article 3, paragraph (1) of UU No. 37 Tahun 2004 about Kepailitan dan PKPU. A common issue in these third-party objections involves land sold through Perjanjian Pengikatan Jual Beli (PPJB) without making Akta Jual Beli (AJB). In practice, there is a disparity in the decisions related to disputes involving land transactions through PPJB, leading to legal uncertainty and questioning the validity of PPJB as a legitimate document. This study aims to contribute to understanding the position of third parties in opposing general seizures in bankruptcy cases and to provide practical insights for those involved in similar legal processes. The methodology employed is normative juridical, analyzing secondary sources as the primary material. The approach used includes statue and case approaches. The research findings indicate that third parties in bankruptcy cases can still file objections to assert their rights to land even after the lapse of five years through gugatan lain-lain. Additionally, PPJB can legally serve as evidence of the transfer of land rights involved in a case, provided that the buyer has fully paid for the land and acted in good faith.

Published: November 2024

Mariso Village is one of the working areas of Puskesmas Dahlia that faces nutrition challenges, especially stunting. In addition, pregnant women also need special attention to their nutritional intake, because lack of nutrition during pregnancy can be one of the main causes of stunting. Based on data collected by 25 posyandu cadres spread throughout the hamlet, there are 14 children with stunting conditions and 6 pregnant women who experience Chronic Energy Deficiency (CEC). Puskesmas Dahlia has run a nutrition kitchen program as an effort to handle stunting in children. However, there are obstacles in utilizing the available local food ingredients, and some programs have not covered pregnant women. In the context of community service, efforts were made to educate posyandu cadres about stunting, SEZ in pregnant women, and the utilization of local ingredients such as banana heart, one of which was through the innovation of making Banana Heart Biscuits “BINTANG”. Various methods were applied in this activity, including initial observation in the form of measuring children's weight (BB) and height (TB), and measuring the upper arm circumference (LILA) of pregnant women. The activity continued with health education for posyandu cadres and a demonstration of banana heart-based biscuit making. Initial observations conducted over two days showed that there were 14 stunted children and 6 SEZ pregnant women. After that, health education was provided to cadres, followed by training in biscuit making, as well as assistance and product distribution by cadres. The results of this activity increased the knowledge of posyandu cadres while positively impacting the nutritional status of stunted children and pregnant women with SEZ. Banana Heart Biscuits are now one of the additional menus provided in posyandu activities for toddlers and pregnant women. In addition, these biscuits are also used as a side menu in the Supplementary Feeding program which is routinely held every week in Bontorannu Village.

Alacaklının, yükümlülüklerini kendi iradesiyle yerine getirmeyen borçlusuna karşı devletin yetkili mercileri aracılığı ile alacak hakkına kavuşmasını konu edinen icra hukukunda sıklıkla karşılaşılan hususlardan biri de icra takibinden feragattir. Takipten feragat imkânı maddî hukuktaki irade serbestisinin ve tasarruf yetkisinin icra hukukundaki görünümlerinden biridir. Buna göre alacaklı icra takibinin her aşamasında alacağından ve buna kavuşmak amacıyla başlatmış olduğu takipten feragat edebilecektir. Alacaklının icra takibinden feragati davadan feragatten farklı olarak beyanda aksi belirtilmemişse hakkın özünden de feragat edildiği şeklinde yorumlanmaz. Alacaklının takipten feragat etmiş olsa dahi, beyanda açıkça alacak hakkından feragat ettiğini belirtmediği sürece borçluya karşı daha sonra aynı alacak için takip yapabilecektir. Yargıtay kararlarında alacaklının icra takibinden feragat etmesine kural olarak izin verilmekle birlikte takipten feragat hakkının takip esnasında kullanılmasına ilişkin farklı kararlara ve sınırlamalara rastlanmaktadır.
In Vitro Analysis of Benzopyran Derivative's Action Against Aspergillus Species
Authors: Punia Aruna , Chhillar Anil Kumar
Published: November 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate in vitro activity of two specific benzopyran derivatives: Ethyl 2-(4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl)-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxylate and 2-(4-oxo-4H-chromen-3-yl) thiazolidine., with the aim of ascertaining their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and discerning their cytotoxic effects on human RBCs.
 
Theoretical Framework: Aspergillus fumigatus causes numerous global deaths annually. Its increasing resistance to conventional antifungals and many azoles underscores the urgency for new therapeutic solutions.
 
Method: Compounds were synthesized and we utilized the Disc Diffusion Assay, Microdilution Assay, Spore Germination Inhibition Assay, and Electron Microscopy to assess the anti-Aspergillus effects of PI 103 and PI 105. Additionally, the Hemolytic Assay was conducted to evaluate its potential acute toxicity.
 
Results: The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for PI 103 varied between 15.6 mg/L and 250 mg/L, with no observable activity in two out of thirteen strains. For PI 105, the MIC ranged from 3.9 mg/L to 62.5 mg/L.
 
Research Implications: Both compounds exhibited encouraging outcomes and demonstrated non-toxicity. Future refinements and research could bolster their efficacy. Their safety profile also paves the way for their potential use in a wider range of therapeutic treatments against fungal infections.

Authors: Suryo Putro Waskito Aji , Mustamu Alva Cherry , Suwanto Witri
Published: November 2024

This study aims to examine the effects of high-intensity ergocycle training on four key parameters crucial for managing type 2 diabetes (T2D): Body Mass Index (BMI), body fat percentage, Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), and muscle mass. A total of 24 male patients with T2D, aged 41-65, participated in the study and underwent a high-intensity ergocycle training intervention, conducted three times per week for eight weeks. Parameters such as HbA1c, BMI, PBF, and SM were observed before and after the intervention. Data analysis techniques included paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests with a significance level of 5%. The results indicated a significant reduction in HbA1c, BMI, and PBF, as well as a significant increase in SM before and after the high-intensity ergocycle training intervention (p ≤ 0.05). Additionally, we observed a reduction in ∆-HbA1c, ∆-BMI, ∆-PBF, and an increase in ∆-SM between groups (p ≤ 0.05). These findings demonstrate that regular high-intensity ergocycle training is significantly effective in reducing BMI, body fat percentage, and HbA1c levels while increasing muscle mass in patients with T2D. This result provides solid evidence that high-intensity ergocycle training can be used as a modality to improve insulin resistance in patients with T2D.

FACTORS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AT EMI UNIVERSITY
Authors: Zhanara Berdigozhina
Published: November 2024

This paper reports a mixed-methods study that examined the predictors of academic success among undergraduate students in English-Medium Instruction (EMI) higher education in Kazakhstan. Despite the rapid adoption of English as a medium of instruction, comprehensive research on its impact remains scarce. This study aims to fill this gap by examining whether secondary education in English provides an advantage for academic achievement in EMI university programs. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected through a survey of 97 undergraduate students, and qualitative data were gathered via semi-structured interviews with 7 EMI instructors. The quantitative analysis, conducted using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, identifies several predictors of academic outcomes, including English proficiency, financial aid status, and year of study. Notably, English proficiency emerged as a significant predictor of higher GPA, while financial aid recipients were less likely to have retakes. This research contributes to the literature on EMI by providing evidence from the Kazakhstani context and offers practical implications for policy and practice, suggesting targeted language preparation programs for students who did not attend EMI secondary schools. Future research should consider broader and more diverse samples to enhance the generalizability of the findings.
Pengaruh Konsentrasi Natrium Hidroksida dan Waktu Pemasakan Terhadap Penurunan Kadar Lignin Menggunakan Kulit Edamame (Glycin Max (L) Merill) dengan Proses Soda
Authors: Tri Suharni  , Ahmad M Fuadi
Published: November 2024

The increase in demand for pulp and kertas raises awareness of the problem of kayu hutan as the primary raw material for pulp and kertas production. As a result, an alternative to kayu is required. One non-kayu tanaman that has the potential to be used as an alternative raw material in pulp production is edamame kulit (Glycin max (L) merrill), which is slowly brewed or baked such that it can cause environmental problems. Kulit edamame has a relatively high selulosa content of 2.3% to 13.1%. This study aims to understand the effects of pemasakan and the concentration of natrium hydroxide on the lignin pulp from kulit edamame using the soda process. The best method for this study is to use NaOH concentrations of 0.7%, 0.9%, and 1.78%, 1.82, and 1.86 percent at pemasakan times (100, 115, 125, 135, 145 menit) has lignin tertinggi kadar of 2,0376% and lignin terendah kadar of 0,9000%. The purpose of this study is to determine the pulp quality that is obtained from the soda process using NaOH concentration and the best combination of NaOH concentration and pemasakan time in the production of pulp from Kulit Edamame. The results of the study show that as the concentration of NaOH increases, the amount of lignin will decrease. This is because increasing the concentration of pemasakan's lignin can increase the amount of delignification and the amount of lignin that degrades will result in better pulp. And the longer the pemasakan time, the longer the lignin kadar will flow, resulting in a pulp that is more putih and has better quality.
Batı Balkanlar’da Ulusçuluk Süreci ve Bosna-Hersek
Authors: Gün Doğan
Published: November 2024

Milliyetçilik, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun dağılma sürecindeki temel araçtı. Aynı zamanda 18. yüzyıldan günümüze tanık olduğumuz ulus-devletler üzerinde de temel bir etkiye sahip oldu. Ancak tanımı konusunda fikir birliğinin olmaması onu en tartışmalı kavramlardan biri haline getirdi. Balkanlar'daki milliyetçilik, Batı Avrupa'da devletliğin temellerini atan milliyetçilikten kökten farklıdır. Balkan milliyetçiliğinin kökleri, Ortodoks Hristiyanlığın yeniden canlanması ve Türklerin temsil ettiği İslami düzene muhalefet tarafından şekillendirilen bir etno-linguistik bilinçtedir. Milliyetçilik çalışması yapanlar farklı tanımlara yöneldiler. Bu analizin amaçlarından biri, birinin milliyetçilik olarak tanımladığı şeyin diğeri tarafından neden dışlandığını açıklamaktır. Milliyetçiliğin sadece bir ideoloji olmadığı Balkanlar ve Bosna-Hersek örneği üzerinden açıklanmaya çalışılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, etnik azınlıkların Osmanlı millet sistemi içinde nasıl güvenli bir şekilde yaşadıkları ve bu durumun nasıl aniden değiştiği tartışılmaktadır. Balkanlar ve Bosna-Hersek'te büyük güçlerin katkılarıyla milliyetçilik hareketinin ayrılıkçı hareketlere dönüşme aşamaları incelenmiştir. Çalışmamızın sonucunda milliyetçiliğin tarihin en eski bölünmesine, biz ve onlar ayrımına, ulus devletler ve ideolojiler çağına karşılık geldiği görülmüştür. Bu fikrin bir bütünün (biz/millet) parçası olma duygusu taşıdığı, uluslaşmada sürekliliğin temeli ve ulus-devlet oluşumunun temel dinamiği olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Bab-ı Ali'nin milliyetçiliğe doğru hareketin hızlanmasına, kısmen kendi isteğiyle, kısmen de Avrupa'nın ağır baskıları sonucu katkıda bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bulgularımız ayrıca Bab-ı Ali'nin milliyetçiliğe doğru kaymasının, kısmen kendiliğinden, kısmen de Avrupalıların ağır baskıları sonucu hızlanmasına katkıda bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Bu makalede incelenen bir diğer konu ise 19. yüzyılda Balkanlar'ı etkisi altına alan milliyetçilik akımlarının Bosna'nın kaderini büyük güçlerin eline bırakması ve bu süreçte Bosna'nın ve Boşnak halkının geçirdiği dönüşümdür.

La preservación digital sostenible se ha convertido en un componente esencial para la gestión a largo plazo de los documentos electrónicos, debido a la rápida evolución tecnológica y la creciente dependencia de formatos digitales. Este artículo presenta la Propuesta para la Preservación Digital Sostenible (PPREDIS), un marco integral diseñado para asegurar la integridad, accesibilidad y longevidad de los documentos electrónicos dentro del contexto normativo colombiano. El estudio identifica y analiza las categorías clave de preservación digital, alineadas con las normativas internacionales (ISO, ISO/NTC, GTC-ISO-TR) y su aplicación en la legislación nacional, incluyendo los Decretos 2609 de 2006, 1078 de 2015 y 1080 de 2015. La propuesta destaca la necesidad de una armonización entre legislación y normatividad para establecer procesos sistemáticos que abarquen desde la creación y gestión hasta la disposición final de los documentos electrónicos. Se discuten cinco estrategias fundamentales en la PPREDIS: (1) Planeación de acciones de preservación digital, (2) Producción y recepción de documentos, (3) Gestión de documentos electrónicos, (4) Cierre y archivo, y (5) Disposición final. Cada estrategia aborda aspectos críticos, como la integración de metadatos, la gestión del riesgo, y la adaptación a la obsolescencia tecnológica, apoyada en el modelo NTC-ISO 14721 - 2018. El artículo concluye que la implementación efectiva de la PPREDIS permitirá una mejora continua en la gestión de documentos electrónicos, garantizando la preservación digital sostenible y la adaptación a los cambios tecnológicos y normativos. La propuesta ofrece un marco robusto para la integración de prácticas archivísticas y tecnológicas, esencial para la preservación de la integridad y accesibilidad de los documentos en el largo plazo.
Cooking Culture
Authors: Wooten Stephen
Published: November 2024

In this open access book, Stephen Wooten offers a holistic historical ethnography of cooking and female agency inWestAfrica, and of the broader cultural and historical significance of women’s culinary agency.

Drawing on archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and extensive ethnographic research, Stephen Wooten documents and theorizes Malian women’s culinary agency. He finds that their cooking not only transforms raw ingredients into cooked fare, providing essential physical nourishment, but also helps foster fundamental values, facilitate elemental family and community dynamics, and reproduce gender identities and relations. These findings shed light on the cultural productivity of cooking within a specific African context and foster a deeper appreciation for the significance of culinary dynamics more broadly. The study makes important contributions to the fields of African studies, anthropology, and “everyday studies”.

Chinua Achebe
Authors: Falola Toyin
Published: November 2024

An imaginative, narratological reading of Chinua Achebe's novels, stories, poetry, and essays through a literary and historical framework.

Toyin Falola analyzes fictional and historical cartographies of Africa in Achebe’s literary works to offer a critical representation of Africa's present and future. In particular, he focuses on the historical valuation of a full range of the writer's works – novels includingThings Fall Apart, but also short stories, poems, and essays – as important materials that have contributed to the political events in Nigeria and, by extension, Africa.

The raw creativity found in Achebe’s stories and his ability to tell the Nigerian story – precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial – have endeared him to many, including readers and those critical of him and his works.Chinua Achebe: Narrating Africa in Fictions and Historyanalyzes all of the writer’s works, dwelling on the Nigerian political context upon which many, if not all, of his narratives lie. As a result, it examines methodologies of narration and ideologies that allow his works to resonate with the imagination of Africa.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) demonstrate potential for wastewater treatment while concurrently generating renewable electricity. This investigation aimed to enhance current output by optimising the operational parameters of a dual-chamber MFC. The study utilized a household-constructed dual-chamber MFC with an agarose gel-based proton exchange membrane to enhance current generation in municipal wastewater treatment. The MFC effectively reduced the chemical oxygen demand (COD) from 291 mg/L to 134 mg/L, demonstrating substantial degradation of organic contaminants. An increase in total dissolved solids (TDS) and electrical conductivity (EC) was observed, indicating material decomposition and ionization. The pH level decreased slightly from 7.7 to 7.3, presumably due to hydrogen ion movement during electrochemical processes. Through optimisation of wastewater volume and operational conditions, a peak current production of 1124 μA was achieved. Future studies should focus on refining operational parameters and examining the catalytic properties of the cathodic microbial community to enhance MFC performance and scalability. These findings highlight the dual chamber MFC’s potential as a sustainable solution for concurrent wastewater treatment and renewable energy production, establishing a foundation for scalable applications in environmental remediation and clean energy generation.
lcs4Foam – An OpenFOAM Function Object to Compute Lagrangian Coherent Structures
Authors: Habes Constantin , Von Kameke Alexandra , Fadeli Mohammed Elwardi , Marschall Holger
Published: November 2024

To facilitate the understanding and to quantitatively assess the material transport in fluids, a modern characterisation method has emerged in fluid dynamics in the last decades that is based on dynamical systems theory. It allows to examine the most influential material lines which are called Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) and order the material transport into dynamically distinct regions at large scales which resist diffusion or mixing. LCS reveal the robust skeleton of material surfaces and are essential to assess material transport in time-dependent flows quantitatively. Candidates of LCS can be estimated and visualised from finite-time stretching and folding fields by calculating the Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponents (FTLE).
In this contribution, we provide a function object to compute FTLE during CFD simulation by coupling OpenFOAM to the third-party library libcfd2lcs. This enables the OpenFOAM community to assess the geometry of the material transport in any flow quantitatively on-the-fly using virtually any OpenFOAM flow solver.

Authors: Rodríguez Coya Fátima
Published: November 2024

El desarrollo de la tecnología y la transformación digital han tenido un profundo calado a nivel social y organizacional. Partiendo de una aproximación al contexto actual, este trabajo analizará el concepto de sostenibilidad desde una doble vertiente: la medioambiental, en lo que afecta a la explotación de recursos naturales no renovables y la generación de residuos; y la relativa a la continuidad del negocio, orientada a mantener los productos y servicios de la organización dentro de indicadores aceptables para el negocio. Con ese trasfondo, se hará un análisis del rol de la gestión de documentos como objeto y sujeto de transformación para lograr la sostenibilidad en ambas vertientes.
The advancement of technology and digital transformation have profoundly impacted both social and organizational spheres. This study will explore the concept of sustainability from two angles: environmental sustainability, which involves the exploitation of non-renewable natural resources and waste generation; and business continuity, which focuses on maintaining the organization’s products and services within acceptable business metrics. Within this framework, the role of records management will be analyzed as both a driver and a subject of transformation to achieve sustainability in both dimensions.
¿Y si se cae internet?
Authors: Paniagua Esther
Published: November 2024

El artículo aborda la vulnerabilidad de Internet ante un posible apagón. Partiendo de la advertencia del filósofo Daniel Dennett, se analiza cómo un fallo en el protocolo BGP, el que se encarga de direccionar el tráfico de la red, puede causar el colapso de Internet. Desde los años 90 los expertos en ciberseguridad vienen anunciando que el protocolo tiene puntos vulnerables. Por ejemplo, el grupo de hackers éticos Lopht declaró que podrían derribar Internet en media hora. Además, los casos de ciberataques y los errores humanos han llevado a caídas temporales en servicios críticos, como el apagón de Meta en 2021. Como conclusión, se puede afirmar que la infraestructura digital es frágil, pero esto no evita que la sociedad siga siendo dependiente de ella.
The article addresses the vulnerability of the Internet to a possible blackout. Based on the warning of philosopher Daniel Dennett, it analyzes how a failure in the BGP protocol, which is responsible for directing network traffic, can cause the collapse of the Internet. Since the 90s, cybersecurity experts have been announcing that the protocol has vulnerabilities. For example, the ethical hacker group Lopht stated that they could take down the Internet in half an hour. In addition, cases of cyberattacks and human error have led to temporary outages in critical services, such as Meta’s blackout in 2021. In conclusion, it can be said that digital infrastructure is fragile, but this does not prevent society from continuing to be

Inmersos en una era dominada por lo digital y la tecnología y en la que las demandas sociales basadas en la inmediatez se alejan de la tradición archivística, la posición de los archivos y de sus profesionales se encuentra en una auténtica encrucijada. Esta línea argumental es la utilizada en este ensayo para, desde la perspectiva de la sostenibilidad y la continuidad, analizar el valor que pueden aportar los archivos y sus profesionales y plantear alternativas que permitan afrontar retos como el de la gestión documental, la preservación digital, la administración electrónica o las tecnologías disruptivas. Así se plantea renovar la visión que se tiene de los archivos y de la actividad que desarrollan partiendo del hecho de que son imprescindibles para la conservación de la memoria institucional y de derechos y obligaciones. 
Immersed in an era dominated by digital context and technology and in which social demands based on immediacy are moving away from the archival tradition, the position of archives and their professionals is at a real crossroads. This line of argument is used in this essay to analyse, from the perspective of sustainability and continuity, the value that archives and their professionals can contribute and to propose alternatives that allow us to face challenges such as records management, digital preservation, electronic administration and disruptive technologies. The aim is to renew the vision of archives and the activity they carry out, because they are essential for the preservation of institutional memory and the preservation of rights and obligations.

Distinguir entre los documentos de archivo que deben ser preservados de forma permanente y los que carecen de valor supone un importante reto, sobre todo en lo que respecta a la enorme cantidad de documentos digitales producidos por los organismos públicos. En este artículo se expone la exploración y experimentación que están llevando a cabo los Archivos Nacionales del Reino Unido con la aplicación de la tecnología a la valoración y selección de documentos de archivo digitales. Se exponen tres perspectivas desde las que puede contemplarse esta actividad –la práctica de la gestión del conocimiento y la información, la investigación y el desarrollo de herramientas informáticas y la teoría y la práctica de la valoración– antes de pasar a detallar hacia donde se dirige la próxima fase de experimentación. 
Distinguishing between records worthy of permanent preservation and those without further value is a significant challenge, especially when it comes to the vast amounts of digital records created by public bodies. This paper outlines The National Archives’ ongoing exploration of and experimentation with the application of technology to the appraisal and selection of digital records. It sets out three perspectives from which this activity may be viewed - namely knowledge and information management practice, research and development of software tools and appraisal theory and practice – before detailing the direction being taken for the next phase of experimentation.

Authors: Bazán-Gil Virginia
Published: November 2024

Este artículo explora la integración de inteligencia artificial (IA) en el Archivo de RTVE para generar automáticamente metadatos y mejorar la accesibilidad de contenidos audiovisuales. La IA se ha implementado para optimizar la catalogación y recuperación de colecciones filmadas, especialmente los fondos más antiguos de RTVE. Desde las primeras pruebas en 2017 hasta la implementación de servicios en 2021 y 2023, se han mejorado 16.000 horas de contenido mediante tecnologías avanzadas de IA, como Whisper de OpenAI y GPT-3.5. Se describe la arquitectura del sistema, el flujo de archivos y los procesos de validación, abarcando tareas como transcripción automática, identificación de hablantes, reconocimiento facial y de caracteres, detección de objetos y logos, y descripción de imágenes. Se analizan resultados y desafíos futuros, destacando la importancia de casos de uso específicos para RTVE. La IA ha mejorado la infraestructura tecnológica del archivo, optimizando el metadatado y recuperación de contenidos. Se subraya la importancia de una comunicación transparente, formación continua del personal y la supervisión humana de la IA. A largo plazo, la combinación de IA y estrategias puede mejorar la preservación y accesibilidad de contenidos históricos valiosos. 
This article explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the RTVE Archive for automatic metadata generation and improved accessibility of audiovisual content. AI has been implemented to optimize cataloging and content retrieval, particularly for RTVE’s oldest filmed collections. From initial tests in 2017 to the implementation of services in 2021 and 2023, 16,000 hours of content have been enhanced using advanced AI technologies like OpenAI’s Whisper and GPT-3.5.  The system’s architecture, file workflow, and validation processes are described, covering tasks such as automatic transcription, speaker identification, facial and optical character recognition, object and logo detection, and natural language image description. Results and future challenges are analyzed, emphasizing the importance of specific use cases for RTVE. AI has improved the technological infrastructure of the archive, optimizing metadata and content retrieval. The importance of transparent communication, continuous staff training, and human supervision of AI is highlighted. In the long term, combining AI with strategic actions can enhance the preservation and accessibility of valuable historical content.
Sostenibilidad demográfica y dinamización territorial
Authors: Domínguez Álvarez  José Luis
Published: November 2024

En los últimos años, la cuestión demográfica y territorial ha ganado relevancia en el ámbito político e institucional, impulsada por el creciente descontento social en el campo, que ha generado movilizaciones capaces de paralizar las principales ciudades y mostrar la dependencia urbana del medio rural. Este estudio revisa de manera holística la configuración de la actual política pública de reto demográfico y territorial (Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia, Plan 130 medidas frente al reto demográfico), que por primera vez incluye inversiones reales para paliar décadas de abandono institucional (infraestructuras, servicios esenciales, etc.) debido al repliegue o desaparición de la acción pública. Además, el estudio ofrece propuestas de lege ferenda para abordar desafíos en las comunidades rurales, como medidas de discriminación normativa positiva, protección del patrimonio rural, prestación efectiva de servicios esenciales, y la implementación de la administración digital para mejorar la gobernanza en estas áreas. 
In recent years, demographic and territorial issues have gained prominence in the political and institutional sphere, driven by growing social discontent in rural areas. This discontent has led to mobilizations that not only paralyzed major cities but also highlighted the urban dependence on the struggling rural environment. This study provides a holistic review of the current demographic and territorial policy framework (Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, Plan 130 measures against the demographic challenge), which, for the first time, includes real investments to address decades of institutional neglect (infrastructure, essential services, etc.) resulting from the withdrawal or disappearance of public action. Additionally, the study offers lege ferenda proposals to tackle challenges in rural communities, such as positive regulatory discrimination measures, protection of rural heritage, effective delivery of essential services, and the implementation of digital administration to enhance governance in these areas.
