Published: March 2023

Of great importance in the economic activities of the zemstvos was statistical work on determining the socio-economic condition of peasant households, which were the basis of the country’s productive forces. Zemstvo statisticians independently developed and improved the methodology forconducting them. L. S. Lichkov, who was one of the first to join the ranks of Zemstvostatisticians, made hiscontribution to it. The paper attempts to analyze methods for obtaining primary data, methods for processing them, methods for grouping digital material that were proposed by him. His practical activities as the head of the Zemstvo statistical service of the Saratov gubernia are also considered. The author concludes that the methodology forcollecting and processingstatistical material,which he proposed and used in hiswork,was relatively effective and, in general, made it possible to obtain complete and reliable information about the peasant community. Heading the Saratov statistics, L. S. Lichkov brought it into the category of advanced ones.

Popülizm, Medya ve Toplumsal Cinsiyet: Sen Kimsin Atiye?
Authors: EGE Övünç
Published: March 2023

Popülizmin muğlâk yapısı onu tanımlamayı zor bir süreç haline getirse de bu belirsizlik onun medya içeriklerine ve gündelik yaşama sirayet etmesini kolaylaştırmaktadır. Çalışmada siyasal üslup olarak popülizm, performans ve inşa üzerinden toplumsal cinsiyet ile birlikte ele alınmaktadır. Medya temsillerinin popülizm ve toplumsal cinsiyetin kesişim noktaları özelinde ele alınması kültürel üretim alanlarındaki yeni stereotipleri ortaya koymaktadır. Bu stereotipler Atiye (Netflix, 2019–2020) dizisi üzerinden örneklendirilmektedir. Bu bağlamda dizideki kadın-erkek kategorilerinin ve ilişkilerinin inşasının kurgusal tarihe temellendirilerek aidiyet oluşturulması, kadın doğası miti üzerinden anne olan kadının kutsallaştırılması, ailenin kutsanması ve dışsal düşman temsilleri üzerinden medyada cinsiyet kategorilerini pekiştiren yeni stereotipler ele alınmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı popülist üslup ve toplumsal cinsiyet normlarının medyada nasıl yer aldığını ortaya koymaktır. Diziden elde edilen bulgular yeni stereotiplerin geleneksel stereotiplerden farklı olmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Kadın kahraman eril söylemi örtük bir şekilde yeniden üretmektedir. Dizide egemen kültürel normlar popülizmin aidiyetçi, ayrıştırıcı ve tehditkâr olarak kendini yeniden üreten stiliyle iç içe geçmiştir. Kutsallaştırma yoluyla geleneksel anlatıdaki pasif konumundan uzaklaşıyormuş gibi gösterilse de atfedilen bu kutsallık onu yine edilgen konuma sabitlemektedir. Bu bağlamda, medya içeriğine temas eden ve bilinçli bir şekilde toplumsal cinsiyet körü olan popülizmin eril stili, kadını hâlâ daha tam anlamıyla özgür ve güçlü göstermemektedir

Usage of Electronic Education Services in Bulgaria
Authors: Amarov Boyko , Netoff Nikolay
Published: March 2023

In the past twenty years, the range of electronic services offered by educational institutions in Bulgaria has increased substantially, allowing schools, universities, and vocational training centers to offer flexible learning options. These capabilities proved essential during the COVID-19 pandemic when most educational institutions switched to online teaching. The share of electronic service users among the population between 16 and 74 years of age almost tripled between 2019 (2.3%) and 2020 (6.9%). This paper explores the variation in usage rates of four types of electronic education-related services: online courses and examinations provided by schools and universities, private educational services, and administrative services like issuing electronic diplomas and certificates. The propensity to use these services is modeled within a multilevel logistic regression model using a sample of internet users conducted in July-August 2021. The results reveal a gender difference in the usage of electronic services, with women being more likely to access school and university services than men. Respondents living in rural areas were less likely to use private e-services. However, there were no significant differences between urban and rural dwellers regarding the rest of the service types. Individuals using one service type were more likely to use all the others. The regional variation of usage patterns indicates a positive association between the use of university and privately supplied electronic services.

Authors: Ebenezer Akre Sey , Ying Ma
Published: March 2023

Benchmarking involves a company taking inspiration from the ideas of the market leader and adapting them to turn defects into strengths, ultimately striving for excellence. The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of Market Benchmarking on a company’s performance, specifically through the moderating effect of management decisions, using the case of MTN-CI in the cell phone market in Côte d’Ivoire. The study used a quantitative research method and collected data from 128 participants. The results demonstrate the importance of pricing benchmarking at MTN-CI, which positions itself as a dynamic, innovative, loyal, and transparent company, and continues to compete healthily in a competitive market. The key factors to success in this market are seriousness, credibility, and proximity to customers, which MTN-CI prioritizes by making management decisions that are closely aligned with the needs of its partners and customers. Additionally, MTN-CI is committed to assuming its role in sustainable development through its participation in economic progress, with its top priority being to gain market share and build customer loyalty while ensuring the company’s performance.
Prekarianizm w Polsce – skala zjawiska, skutki i perspektywy
Authors: Jarecki Wojciech
Published: March 2023

The precariat is a notion and a phenomenon that has drawn special attention of economists since the turn of 20th and 21st centuries. The article is based on the assumption that the precariat involves unwanted and long-term insecurity and uncertainty, a highly changeable situation on the labour market and many other negative consequences.
The paper advances the thesis according to which the phenomenon in ques-tion will escalate and be experienced by a growing number of people who have reached pre-retirement age and are no longer mobile in occupational terms. The article is aimed at presenting reasons of possible growth of the problem under discussion, as well as the consequences faced by people who deal with it. Last but not least, potential ways of fighting precarity will be discussed.
The analysis will be based on the literature on the subject, data derived from Central Statistical Office of Poland (GUS) and Eurostat, as well as research con-ducted by the author.
Cultural Dimensions of Emotion Regulation
Authors: AKA Başak Türküler
Published: March 2023

This review aims to evaluate the connections between emotion regulation and cultural elements via different theoretical frameworks. For this purpose, one of the most used emotion regulation models in the literature, Gross's model is briefly explained. Also, cultural elements are discussed by focusing on socialization practices, social rules, cultural scenarios, cultural values, and cultural differences highlighted in these concepts. Besides, the cultural differences in emotional expression and regulation through cultural values are presented by using two different theories and related research. The results of these research show that suppression can be adaptive and functional in different cultural contexts, and different levels of analysis can be combined to explain the processes of emotional behavior.
Effects of Chronotype and Social Jet-Lag on Neurocognitive Functioning
Authors: AKTAŞ Sakine , GUZEL OZDEMİR Pınar
Published: March 2023

The chronotype, which reflects the circadian rhythm preferences of individuals in their daily activities and sleep-wake cycles, can be considered on a dimension of extreme morningism and extreme eveningism. Individuals with extreme morning and extreme evening chronotypes face many physical and psychological dangers due to accumulated sleep debt, short total sleep time and insufficient sleep efficiency. In extreme chronotypes, especially in extreme evening people, the social jet-lag effect due to the mismatch between social and circadian clocks is thought to exacerbate these dangers. More recent studies have suggested that social jet-lag and chronotype have many negative effects on cognitive functioning. The aim of this article is to review the impact of social jet-lag and chronotype on cognitive functioning.
Solastalgia and Forest Fires
Authors: ALACA Çiğdem
Published: March 2023

One of the important problems created by climate change is forest fires. Forest fires occur due to both natural and anthropogenic causes. Forest fires, which occur with the effects of climate change such as an increase in temperature, drought, heat waves, and climatic conditions, are increasing gradually. Acute and chronic effects caused by forest fires cause significant life changes. As a result of the fire, not only forests are damaged, but also flora, wildlife, water resources, soil, climate, areas used by people for recreational purposes, and settlements near and around forested areas. As a result, changes such as increases in temperature, pollution, epidemics, drought, food shortage, and forest fires, affect mental and physical health. While exposure to forest fires creates a direct traumatic effect; indirectly, it affects mental health for a number of social, political and economic reasons such as poverty, unemployment and housing. Forest fires also create an environmental change. This environmental change creates a sense of loss, the sense of belonging is lost, it cannot connect with the new environment, it becomes difficult to adapt and causes distress.Uncertainty about the future, helplessness, stress, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression are common psychological problems due to climate change. It defines some new mental health concepts as the consequences of climate change affect mental health. "Solastalgia" is one pf these new concepts. Solastalgia is defined as a term that expresses the pain and distress caused by the loss of the thing/things that people find solace and environmental change. Solastalgia is a necessary concept for mental health professionals to understand the links between ecosystem health and human health, especially the cumulative effects of climatic and environmental change on mental, emotional and spiritual health.
Unfolding Case Studies for Nursing Leadership
Authors: Cameron Patricia , Jusela Cheryl
Published: March 2023

Background:The education of nursing students has changed radically during the COVID-19 pandemic, with more content being delivered virtually. With less face-to-face (F2F) contact with educators, content translation to real-world scenarios is diminished.Objective:To determine if an educational seminar using unfolding case studies will improve students’ understanding of concepts.Method:A pilot study of senior-level nursing students of an intensive unfolding case study application was conducted to focus on concept application.Results:Pre- and post-tests were compared with the increase in understanding of the focused topics, delegation, advanced directives, and safety, which was statistically significant (t[55] = 6.92, p < .001).Conclusion:Using real-world clinical problems through case studies facilitates understanding concepts and developing critical thinking skills/problem-solving abilities. The results of this study provide an impetus for the use of unfolding case studies to help nursing students understand leadership concepts.
Virtualizações da pesquisa foucaultiana sobre o cuidado de si:
Authors: Ribeiro Cintya , Aquino Julio
Published: March 2023

O presente artigo visa propor um horizonte de virtualização da pesquisa foucaultiana sobre o cuidado de si na Antiguidade clássica, por meio da interpelação da figura do Anthropos como operador de nossos atuais modos de pensamento. Para tanto, o trabalho articula, inicialmente, as discussões presentes no curso A hermenêutica do sujeito, ministrado em 1982 no Collège de France, no que se diz respeito às problemáticas atinentes à forma homem/humano; estas suscitadas pelo enfrentamento de dois documentos históricos de natureza antropológico-etnográfica: as obras Argonautas do pacífico ocidental, de 1922, de Bronislaw Malinowski, e Escute as feras, de 2019, de Nastassja Martin. O estudo aponta para os desdobramentos éticos dessa discussão tanto no campo filosófico quanto no filosófico-educacional, ao focalizar os limites das categorizações transcendentais que determinam as fronteiras entre humanos e não humanos. Tais implicações forçam a atualidade educacional ao difícil gesto de recusa radical do sujeito, manifesto sob a forma homem/humano, como um universal, convocando a educação a atentar para as forças da própria vida em suas variações contínuas.
Psicagogia hoje: pensar a educação para além do pedagogismo
Authors: Gallo Silvio , Carvalho Alexandre
Published: March 2023

A partir do curso A Hermenêutica do Sujeito de Michel Foucault, o artigo investiga a noção de psicagogia e seu desdobramento ao longo do pensamento deste autor, visando a atualizar uma problematização para se avançar nas questões acerca das verdades presentes como fundamentação da educação contemporânea. Ao se fazer isso, constitui-se uma argumentação de que a psicagogia pode ser experiência com as veridicções educativas para além de seus pedagogismos. Assim, no lugar de se normalizar (1) as condições contemporâneas de experiências de educação baseadas em afirmação de índices e resultados, competências e atitudes de demandas homogêneas e (2) a ênfase restrita na relação ensino-aprendizagem, busca-se mostrar como a psicagogia contribui para a afirmação das singularidades e diferenças e para a constituição de subjetividades marcadas pela modificação do modo de ser dos sujeitos e, portanto, afeitas a outros jogos de verdade.
La educación tradicional devorada por internet y las redes sociales
Authors: Constante Alberto
Published: March 2023

La educación en nuestro continente invariablemente ha sido deficitaria. Ha estado marcada por la instrumentación de planes y programas de estudio viejos, obsoletos, desaseados, improvisados y, en el mejor de los casos: experimentales, y a esto habría que agregarle que, al menos en México, la educación ha estado atravesada por un sindicalismo deshonesto y corrupto, que sólo se ha enriquecido a costa del erario nacional y que nunca ha funcionado para mejorar la educación. En tal sentido, pensar la educación y sus procesos actuales ayuda a replantear tanto las condiciones como las metodologías usadas por una educación tradicional, que se ve obligada a cambiar debido a los procesos actuales, y más aún por la pandemia del COVID-19.  Para tal propósito, algunas ideas de autores contemporáneos que reflexionan sobre las nuevas tecnologías (Costa, 2021; Harari, 2021; y otros) pueden ayudarnos en la comprensión de la cuestión, mostrando a la vez un halo de incertidumbre y expectativas por todo lo que nos ha dejado la postpandemia, pero también por las nuevas trasformaciones que vendrán.
Społeczno-kulturowe uwarunkowania palenia papierosów w Polsce w latach 1974–2019
Authors: Heleniak Anna
Published: March 2023

Za cel artykułu obrano próbę opisania funkcjonowania osób palących papierosy przez pryzmat formalnych i nieformalnych norm definiujących to działanie. Zanalizowany został okres od roku 1974 (gdy ogłoszone zostały pierwsze restrykcje dotyczących palenia) do roku 2019 (czyli do momentu, w którym praktyka ta jest legalna, a mimo to zdaje się być powszechnie uważana za dewiację). W pierwszej części artykułu skoncentrowano się na normach określających „przestrzeń” tego działania, zarówno tę fizyczną, jak i społeczną. W części drugiej podjęto kwestię zmian moralnego statusu palenia. Omówiono tu między innymi treści komunikatów ostrzegawczych zamieszczanych na opakowaniach wyrobów tytoniowych, po to, by dowieść, że palaczom sugeruje się również inne problemy, aniżeli wyłącznie brak troski o zdrowie. W części trzeciej opisano „kariery” osób palących papierosy. Pojęcie „kariery” rozumiane jest tutaj jako sekwencja zmian odnoszących się do konsumpcji papierosów przez jednostkę, tudzież jej motywacji i poglądów na tę praktykę (por. Becker, 2009. S. 28). W ostatniej części przyjrzano się temu, w jaki sposób palacze godzą czynność palenia z powszechnie uznawaną normą, jaką jest dbałość o własne ciało i jego kondycję. Podstawą tych rozważań były zarówno dane zastane (akty prawne, ogólnopolskie badania społeczne), jak i dane empiryczne pozyskane od osób palących, zebrane techniką wywiadu swobodnego. Badania jakościowe przeprowadzone zostały na próbie 36 osób, zróżnicowanych pod względem wybranych cech społeczno-demograficznych. Narracje osób palących stanowiły zarówno materiał ilustrujący „kulturę palenia” na przestrzeni ostatnich dekad, jak i źródło danych na temat czynników, które faktycznie kulturę tę kształtują.
Solidarité et confiance dans le couple
Authors: Kaufmann Jean-Claude
Published: March 2023

Quelle est la nature des liens qui unissent un couple? On parle souvent d’ «amour», mais cette définition reste très vague si l’on considère que les formes amoureuses sont multiples et que ce sentiment est présent à des degrés très divers dans la vie conjugale.

L’analyse plus précise des sentiments et principes qui fabriquent le lien conjugal contemporain permet de mieux cerner comment il évolue actuellement. Diverses notions sont étudiées dans l’article: la solidarité, le respect, la confiance et le soutien mutuel. La reconnaissance mutuelle également, dont on constate qu’elle doit s’imposer à d’autres cercles de reconnaissance pouvant devenir concurrents, y compris les plus proches comme les parents ou les amis.

Il en ressort un nouveau rôle du conjoint, sorte de thérapeute de l’âme, dont la fonction est de restaurer l’estime de soi du partenaire, mise à mal par le fonctionnement de notre société.
Obecny, przewidywany oraz idealny obraz polskiej edukacji seksualnej w ocenie edukatorek seksualnych i nauczycielek wychowania do życia w rodzinie
Authors: Chmielewska Dominika
Published: March 2023

Artykuł prezentuje rezultaty badań dotyczących społeczno-kulturowych, prawnych oraz administracyjnych uwarunkowań edukacji seksualnej. Badania miały na celu poznanie doświadczeń zawodowych osób bezpośrednio z nią związanych. Przeprowadzono częściowo ustrukturyzowane wywiady z edukatorkami seksualnymi i nauczycielkami wychowania do życia w rodzinie mieszkającymi w Warszawie. Jak się okazało w trakcie konstruowania próby oraz gromadzenia danych, edukowanie w obszarze seksualności jest zajęciem sfeminizowanym, brakuje edukatorów-mężczyzn. Tekst przybliża polską edukację seksualną w trzech aspektach – jej obecny i idealny obraz, a także przyszłość, jaka, zdaniem kobiet uczestniczących w badaniu, może ją czekać. W Polsce trwa spór o edukację seksualną, ma miejsce polaryzacja podejścia do tego tematu. Respondentki oceniają obecną sytuację społeczną negatywnie, określają ją jako „nagonkę na edukację seksualną”. Przyszłość widzą w czarnych barwach, jednak robią wszystko, by dzieci i młodzież – najważniejsi odbiorcy ich działań – miały dostęp do wiedzy na najwyższym poziomie. Zostały również zaprezentowane opinie uczestniczek badania na temat tego, jak powinna wyglądać edukacja seksualna w idealnej odsłonie.
Niecodzienna codzienność. Nie tylko o jednym wierszu Juliana Tuwima
Authors: Sioma Radosław
Published: March 2023

Artykuł jest interpretacją wiersza Juliana Tuwima Życie codzienne, w którym poeta odsłania wyjątkowość codzienności, jej niepojętość i tajemnicę. Lektura wiersza odwołuje się do innych utworów poetyckich (Zbigniewa Herberta, Jerzego Lieberta, Krystyny Miłobędzkiej), a przeprowadzona zostaje przy pomocy opozycyjnych kategorii poręczności rzeczy i ich istnienia (Martin Heidegger), komunikacji (Søren Kierkegaard/Michał Paweł Markowski), niesamowitości (Zygmunt Freud) i epifanii literackiej (Ryszard Nycz). W ostatecznym rachunku poezja jawi się jako próba poszukiwania języka dla niepojętości („jedyności” – Józef Czechowicz) świata, która zanika wskutek rutynizujących mechanizmów konstruowania „rzeczywistości codziennej” (opisanych przez Petera L. Bergera i Thomasa Luckmana).
Konstruowanie pamięci o Żołnierzach Wyklętych w świadomości indywidualnej narodowych społeczników we Wrocławiu
Authors: Sarniak Agnieszka Alicja
Published: March 2023

Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań prowadzonych w ramach pracy licencjackiej nad konstruowaniem pamięci zbiorowej o Żołnierzach Wyklętych przez narodowych społeczników we Wrocławiu. Wykorzystanie wywiadów narracyjnych oraz zanalizowanie ich za pomocą narzędzi wypracowanych przez teorię ugruntowaną pozwoliło na opis sposobów konstruowania obrazu Żołnierzy Wyklętych. Społecznicy deklarują chęć prowadzenia narracji otwartej na dialog i opartej na rzetelnych faktach. Jednocześnie w ich wypowiedziach często pobrzmiewa idealizacja postaci i skupienie na osobach wybitnych. W przypadku postaci kontrowersyjnych widać staranniejsze przemyślenie wypowiedzi. W artykule został także przedstawiony sposób postrzegania patriotyzmu i nacjonalizmu przez społeczników. Patriotyzm był kojarzony z działaniem, natomiast nacjonalizm ze sposobem myślenia, co szczególnie interesujące, ponieważ w socjologicznych definicjach często jest to przedstawiane odwrotnie.
Postulat zmiany społecznej jako narzędzie marketingowe
Authors: Haławin Arkadiusz
Published: March 2023

Artykuł porusza kwestię komunikowania w reklamie różnego typu zmian społecznych. Poddano analizie przykłady komercyjnych kampanii reklamowych w celu pokazania i wyjaśnienia, jakie zmiany społeczne są postulowane w reklamach i dlaczego marki się na to decydują. Tekst ma charakter przeglądowy. Bazuje na studiach trzech kampanii reklamowych. Poprzedza je część zawierająca operacjonalizację pojęć zmiany społecznej i reklamy oraz osadzenie tematu w teorii systemów społecznych i komunikacji. Artykuł nie ma ścisłej podstawy metodologicznej, gdyż bazuje na materiale obejmującym niewielką liczbę reklam. Jest on próbą prognozowania kierunku zmian we współczesnej reklamie. W przyszłości reklama, nie tylko społeczna, lecz także komercyjna, może częściej służyć do komunikowania i kształtowania postaw oraz wartości. Dla marek może to być sposób na uwiarygodnienie ich działalności rynkowej i zdobycie zaufania konsumentów. Opisane przykłady mogą być z jednej strony potraktowane jako instrumentalne, komercyjne strategie, z drugiej strony jako nośnik takich zmian społecznych jak równouprawnienie kobiet w krajach Bliskiego Wschodu lub zmiana ideału kobiecego ciała w kulturze Zachodu.
“Bricolage” as a Strategy of Pursuing Beauty in the Social Reality of the Polish People’s Republic
Authors: Buchner Anna , Kietlińska Bogna
Published: March 2023

In 2013, the authors participated in the international research grant titled “Towards the Comparative Sociology of Beauty: The Transnational Modelling Industry and the Social Shaping of Beauty Standards in Six European Countries”, which was carried out in Amsterdam, at the Institute for Social Science of Research (University of Amsterdam), under the direction of Professor Giselinde Kuipers. Some of the respondents in Poland were women, whose early adulthood took place in the times of the Polish People’s Republic and the subsequent regime change. After the research had been concluded, the authors decided to devote more attention to them, and conducted additional interviews with women over fifty, with tertiary education, living in large or medium Polish cities. In this article, strategies of pursuing beauty in the context of the shortage economy of the Polish People’s Republic are presented. Based on in-depth interviews, the analysis is framed in terms of bricolage, a term coined by Claude Lévi-Strauss, as well as of homo eligens and homo egens, which are concepts developed by Polish sociologists. The aim of such applications is to systematise studieson lifestyles.
El proceso europeo de escasa cuantía. Luces y sombras de un proceso clave para la reclamación transfronteriza de pequeñas deudas en la Unión Europea
Authors: Antón Juárez Isabel
Published: March 2023

Las deudas de escasa cuantía son de las más comunes en la práctica, sin embargo, son las que menos se reclaman judicialmente. El proceso europeo de escasa cuantía persigue fomentar que las deudas transfronterizas, aunque sean pequeñas (desde una perspectiva económica), se reclamen. La posibilidad de cobrar las deudas impagadas implica un aspecto muy positivo desde una perspectiva social, económica y jurídica. Sin embargo, a pesar de que el Reglamento (CE) 861/2007 por el que se instaura el proceso europeo de escasa cuantía no es nuevo, ya que se lleva aplicando desde el 1 de enero de 2009, los resultados que ofrecen los estudios europeos que han analizado su impacto en la reclamación de deudas transfronterizas demuestran que éste ha sido más bien escaso. Uno de los motivos es porque ha sido un instrumento desconocido por sus potenciales usuarios (pequeñas empresas y consumidores) hasta fechas relativamente recientes, pero otro tiene que ver con su propia configuración. Sobre cómo se ha concebido este proceso por el legislador europeo (en la versión inicial y también en las sucesivas modificaciones) y los problemas que plantea en la práctica es sobre lo que va a versar el presente trabajo.
La incidencia del derecho de consumo en el crowdfunding financiero
Authors: Díez Soto Carlos Manuel
Published: March 2023

El desarrollo del crowdfunding financiero plantea, entre otros interrogantes, el problema de determinar cómo han de incidir en este ámbito las normas sobre protección del consumidor, no solo respecto a los inversores (cuya protección se viene articulando legalmente sobre la base de los instrumentos y categorías propias del mercado financiero), sino también respecto a aquellos consumidores que recurren a esta vía para financiar proyectos de carácter no empresarial (respecto de los cuales se plantea, en particular, la cuestión de la aplicabilidad de las normas sobre crédito al consumo). Todo ello, teniendo en cuenta las peculiaridades del crowdfunding como sistema de financiación en el que, junto a promotores e inversores, asume un papel protagonista la plataforma intermediaria. En este trabajo analizamos la respuesta que los legisladores españoles y europeos han venido dando a las cuestiones planteadas, dando lugar, en el momento actual, a una situación de notable incertidumbre.
Hacia un marco legal europeo uniforme en la prevención de los riesgos y de la responsabilidad civil en el ámbito de la conducción automatizada inteligente
Authors: Núñez Zorrilla Mª Carmen
Published: March 2023

Se camina, a nivel mundial, hacia los sistemas de transporte inteligentes totalmente automatizados o autónomos, por medio de los cuales se quiere combatir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, la contaminación atmosférica, acústica y del agua, los accidentes de tráfico, la congestión y la pérdida de biodiversidad. De ahí, la preocupación por el desarrollo, desde la Unión Europea, de un marco jurídico para la prevención de los riesgos y la regulación de la responsabilidad civil derivada de los daños que estos sistemas puedan producir, ya que las características específicas que definen a esta tecnología crean nuevos riesgos que no están cubiertos adecuadamente por la normativa tradicional, que debe revisarse para adaptarse a las nuevas tecnologías con inteligencia artificial.
Información engañosa al inversor. De nuevo sobre la localización del daño puramente financiero
Authors: Sánchez Fernández Sara
Published: March 2023

El elemento fundamental de la normativa del mercado de valores es la transparencia. Cuando las obligaciones de información se incumplen, los inversores pueden sufrir un daño puramente financiero, que es inmaterial y, por tanto, difícil de localizar. Este trabajo aborda la dinámica que da lugar al daño en ilícitos del mercado de valores como fundamento para la correcta localización de este en supuestos transfronterizos. Sobre esta base, se analiza la jurisprudencia del TJUE relativa al art. 7.2 del Reglamento Bruselas I bis y, en particular, la reciente sentencia en el asunto VEB, que parece indicar un cambio de orientación hacia la localización del daño en el mercado afectado. Por último, se discute la posible extensión de las conclusiones al ámbito de la ley aplicable de acuerdo con el art. 4.1 del Reglamento Roma II.
Los efectos de la inscripción y la entrega en las transacciones de bienes inmuebles en el Derecho civil chino
Authors: Jiayuan Deng
Published: March 2023

De acuerdo con el Código Civil de China, la propiedad del bien inmueble se transfiere a través de la inscripción tras la firma del contrato de compraventa. La entrega del bien inmueble no tiene el efecto de transferir la propiedad del bien inmueble. El comprador no tiene ningún derecho real sobre el bien inmueble antes de la inscripción después de la entrega del bien inmueble, y su derecho se limita a los derechos de crédito sobre el vendedor basados en el contrato de compraventa. La posesión, el uso y el disfrute del bien inmueble por parte del comprador se basan también en los derechos de crédito derivados del contrato. En las prácticas judiciales, sin embargo, existen circunstancias en las que esta doctrina general no puede respetarse plenamente. Esto ha sido a menudo fuente de controversia entre los autores.

El concepto de documento notarial electrónico se introdujo en el sistema español por la Ley 24/2001, de 27 de diciembre. Esta norma estableció sus requisitos y esencia sin crear un nuevo subtipo de documento notarial, sino simplemente permitiendo y regulando su traslación al medio electrónico. Con posterioridad se reformó del Reglamento Notarial en 2007 para adaptarlo a dicha Ley, en tanto que el Notariado comenzó a trabajar en una modernización de su infraestructura tecnológica que permitiera poner en marcha una verdadera sede electrónica notarial.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of additional cases of malignant neoplasms (MN) in a comparative aspect between the settlement living next to a radioactive waste disposal facility (RWDF) and the indicators of an environmentally clean area of the same territorial unit (region). Evaluation of radiation situation on the residential territory adjacent to the RAW disposal facility in settlement 1, and in settlement 2 (comparison settlement), as well as interpretation of the obtained data was performed in strict compliance with the requirements of regulatory documents specifying requirements to the research object. When performing measurements, the methodology described in the regulatory documents establishing these rules was used: MU 2.6.1.2398-08 "Radiation Monitoring and Sanitary-Epidemiological Assessment of Land Plots for Construction of Residential Buildings, Public and Industrial Buildings with Respect to Radiation Safety". The residents of the settlement 1 were found to be exposed to 3.7 mSv/year, i.e. 54.2% more than the average whole-year exposure dose received by the residents of the settlement 1 from natural background (2.4 mSv/year), which results in excessive risk of MHC development compared to the ecologically clean region. This indicates that excessive risk of MNS can occur even in conditions of radiation background within the considered safe dose of not more than 5 mSv/year. However, this risk is much lower than that from high doses of radiation. This makes it urgent to search for solutions that would allow implementation of the recommendations of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of Russia regarding reduction of total radiation dose to 1 mSv per year or to develop measures allowing to neutralize harmful effects of radiation exposure on the human body.

Published: March 2023

Os canais de maré são feições litorâneas comuns, as quais promovem fluxo de água entre corpos hídricos costeiros e o oceano. A abertura desses canais está associada a eventos meteo-oceanográficos de maior energia que condicionam processos transversais, erosão e rompimento das barreiras arenosas. Trabalhos anteriores já apontaram que a abertura de canais de maré associados aos pontais arenosos que ocorrem no flanco norte do delta do rio Paraíba do Sul é um processo comum que faz parte da evolução dessas feições. No entanto, a dinâmica de abertura desses canais, bem como a influência das forçantes flúvio-oceanográficas ainda não são bem conhecidas. Diante disso, o objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar a dinâmica e as condições flúvio-oceanográficas que propiciam a abertura de canais de maré no flanco norte do delta do rio Paraíba do Sul, Rio de Janeiro-Brasil. Os resultados obtidos apontam que a abertura de canais de maré na área de estudos é resultado das condições morfológicas criadas pelo próprio crescimento dos pontais em conjunto com condições flúvio-oceanográficas capazes de aumentar o fluxo na foz norte do delta. As condições oceanográficas de moderada a alta energia e maiores amplitudes de maré se mostraram mais influentes que a vazão do rio.

Findings - The results of the study provide information that adventure risk, include; risk of equipment, physical, psychological, social and financial affects environmental image and revisit intention, either directly or indirectly. Environmental image affects revisit intention and environmental image have a mediating effect adventure risk to revisit intention. Originality of the research - This study tries to build a causal relationship between adventure tourism risk, and destination image, especially environmental image and its effect on revisit intention in underwater cave diving tourism in Buton Island, Indonesia.. Originality of the research is equipment, physical, psychological, social, and financial risks, and their effects on environmental image and revisit intention that to be focused on underwater cave diving tourism.
Defining the Most Generalized, Natural Extension of the Expected Value on Measurable Functions
Authors: Krishnan Bharath
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we will extend the expected value of the function w.r.t the uniform probability measure on the Caratheodory extension to a larger class of functions, since the set of all functions with infinite or undefined expected values may form a prevalent subset of the set of all measurable functions. Before we get to the specific problem (or main question) of the paper, we will outline some preliminary definitions. We then will define a precise main question that will attempt to offer a unique solution and we'll offer a partial solution to the question. Along the way, we will ask a series of questions that will clarify our understanding of the paper.

This work aimed to carry out a bioremediation study to evaluate the resistance of Penicillium sp. isolated from kefir grains for the treatment of copper. The fungal culture medium was prepared using a 2% malt-agar medium at pH 7.0 in which Penicillium sp. was inoculated. Penicillium sp. growing in a liquid medium showed a decrease in biomass in presence of Cu(NO3)2 (800 mg.L-1), suggesting that the metal impacts the growth rate of the fungus. Moreover, the combined factors of pH and the presence of the inorganic contaminant impacted the radial growth of the fungus, causing inhibition of 73% at pH 4.0, 75% at pH 7.0, and 77% at pH 9.0 in liquid medium compared to control. However, images obtained with scanning electron microscopy showed the integrity of the fungus cell, even at high doses of copper in the medium. Therefore, it can be concluded that Penicillium sp. isolated from kefir grain can bioremediate the environment and that the harmful effects of heavy metals can be minimized as a result biosorption. Although the growth of Penicillium sp. is inhibited, such retardation requires high doses of copper nitrate, thus ensuring the use of this microorganism for protection against the harmful effects of non-essential copper in the environment.

The crystal structure of a polymorph of Glycyl-L-alanine HI.H2O was synthesized from chiral cyclic Glycyl-L-alanine dipeptide, known to show molecular flexibility in different environments. The space group is polar (P21) and therefore pyroelectricity and optical second harmonic generation properties are allowed by symmetry. We report a pyroelectric coefficient as high as 45 µC/m2K occurring at 345 K, one order of magnitude smaller than the semi-organic ferroelectric Triglycine Sulphate (TGS) crystal. Furthermore, the polymorph displays a nonlinear optical effective coefficient of 0.14 pm/V, around 14 times smaller than the value from a phase-matched inorganic Barium Borate (BBO) single crystal.

The metabolic syndrome, first introduced by Hermann Haller in 1975, was sometimes also known as insulin resistance syndrome, syndrome X, and plurimetabolic syndrome. In 1989 it was rechristened by Kaplan as "Deadly Quartet" based on a consolidation of central obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia, and systemic hypertension. Metabolic syndrome is positively associated with a pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic state, attributed to increased pro-thrombotic and inflammatory markers activity. Moreover, Metabolic syndrome is frequently associated with increased atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, impaired glucose tolerance, hyperuricemia, obstructive sleep apnea, and chronic kidney disease. Despite concerted endeavors worldwide, the complexity of the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome is still not clearly understood. Currently, therapeutic possibilities are confined to individual therapy of hyperglycemia, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperuricemia, regular physical exercise, and a restricted diet.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death, and latest predictions indicate that cancer- related deaths will increase over the next few decades. Despite significant advances in conventional therapies, treatments remain far from ideal due to limitations such as lack of selectivity, non-specific distribution, and multidrug resistance. Current research is focusing on the development of several strategies to improve the efficiency of chemotherapeutic agents and, as a result, overcome the conventional therapies challenges. In this regard, combined therapy with natural compounds and other therapeutic agents, such as chemotherapeutics or nucleic acids, has recently emerged as a new strategy for tackling the drawbacks of conventional therapies. Taking this strategy into consideration, the co-delivery of the above-mentioned agents in lipid-based nanocarriers provide some advantages by improving the potential of the therapeutic agents carried. This review encompassed different strategies associated with combined therapy, at the same time highlighting the most recent advances and outstanding advantages of lipid-based nanocarriers for achieving a promising combination therapy that may overcome cancer treatment challenges.
