Los Menores De Edad En El Pacto De Estado Contra La Violencia De Género
Authors: Presas Inmaculada García
Published: July 2019

Desafortunadamente todavía persiste la violencia género y, por ello, los países europeos luchan, incansablemente, para erradicarla. En España, en 2017, se aprueba el Pacto de Estado contra la violencia de género que contiene medidas, algunas relacionadas con los menores. Entre ellas se encuentra la no imposición de la guarda y custodia compartida o la suspensión de visitas del padre maltratador, que, además, tiene prohibido acceder a grabaciones de exploración judicial de sus hijos.

Los distintos países creen conveniente endurecer el Derecho Penal de menores. En España no son imputables hasta los 14 años y, a partir de esta edad, se aplica la Ley orgánica 5/2000, de 12 de enero, reguladora de la responsabilidad penal de los menores, que impone medidas distintas a las previstas para los adultos y destinadas, fundamentalmente, a la reeducación y resocialización. Los menores, además de maltratadores, pueden ser víctimas de violencia de género, directamente o como testigos de la violencia ejercida por uno de sus progenitores hacia el otro.

En España el Pacto de Estado considera víctimas directas de violencia de género a las madres cuyas parejas o exparejas asesinan a sus hijos. El Pacto de Estado no solo se refiere a los menores asesinados ya que, también, hace alusión a los huérfanos, otorgándole acceso prioritario a las pensiones de orfandad y becas y, concediéndole, a quien ostenta su guarda y custodia, beneficios fiscales y prioridad en el acceso a viviendas de protección.

El Acceso A La Justicia Y La Mediación: El Diálogo Como Fundamento Filosófico De La Mediación
Authors: Rodríguez María de las M. R. , Hernández María Teresa G.-B. , Muñoz Juan Antonio M.
Published: July 2019

Una configuración jurídica de la mediación precisa, para que esté completa, no sólo de la inclusión de los elementos normativos (jurídico procesales y éticos) que le son propios, sino de la consideración de aquellos otros elementos que se encuentran presentes en la realidad social e individual de la persona. Para alcanzar esta meta, se necesita trabajar desde la transversalidad, y la cooperación interdisciplinar del derecho con otras ciencias sociales, incluida la filosofía. Y en esta tarea, la pregunta sobre cuál es la razón filosófica que nos desvele la esencia de la mediación, debe ser planteada, pues su respuesta contribuirá a comprender esta institución, más allá de sus elementos normativos. La propuesta que se plantea, desde el pensamiento de la filosofía personalista del diálogo, es concebir la mediación como un ámbito relacional dialógico y dialéctico. El conocimiento de estos elementos “para-normativos”, servirá a las partes que, por estar afectadas por un conflicto, decidan acudir a la mediación como método para resolver por sí mismas y con la ayuda de un mediador su disputa, puedan disponer de unas herramientas eficaces que les permitan realizar con éxito su proceso de mediación.
O Contrato Como Ferramenta De Realização Dos Direitos Humanos No Âmbito Empresarial: As Cláusulas Éticas
Authors: Nalin Paulo , Pimentel Mariana Barsaglia
Published: July 2019

O presente artigo pretende analisar a aproximação entre as questões éticas e as relações negociais e, em especial, como isso restou refletido nos contratos. Não é novidade que as empresas em geral, especialmente as transnacionais, passaram a se preocupar, entre outros aspectos éticos, com a proteção e a promoção dos direitos humanos em suas relações e operações internas e externas, adotando e exigindo condutas eticamente aceitáveis, tanto de seus empregados e colaboradores, como de seus parceiros contratuais. Tal conjectura tem levado à incorporação dos padrões éticos nos contratos propriamente ditos, a partir da inserção das denominadas cláusulas éticas. A proposta, portanto, é estudar estas cláusulas contratuais no contexto da mudança de paradigma do Direito Contratual, voltando-se, ao final, à regulamentação jurídica das cláusulas éticas na Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre Contratos de Compra e Venda Internacional de Mercadorias (CISG).
Do Inadimplemento Substancial Dos Contratos
Authors: Menezes Vitor Hugo Mota de
Published: July 2019

O presente trabalho visa analisa a teoria do (in)adimplemento substancial dos contratos e delimitar os contornos de sua aplicação no direito brasileiro, tendo em conta as novas interpretações do Direito Civil como plexo normativo poroso, que recebe os influxos da Constituição Federal. Abrange ainda, ponderações acerca dos princípios que regem o direito dos contratos e a teoria em questão, com enfoque, inclusive, na evolução do sistema de precedentes judiciais no nosso ordenamento pátrio. A teoria do inadimplemento evita a rescisão por motivo ínfimo, dando mais estabilidade às relações contratuais e, portanto, mais garantias à sociedade de um julgamento justo quando a demanda versar sobre este tema. Sua importância reside no fato de que assegura os princípios da boa-fé objetiva e da função social dos contratos, dispostos de maneira vaga no Código Civil de 2002. Na prática a aplicação da teoria se mostra eficaz e disseminada. A metodologia consiste em pesquisa jurisprudencial, doutrinária, em artigos científicos e pela internet.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1-5 million cases of pesticides poisoning among agricultural workers occur in developing countries. Indonesia pesticide poisoning cases reach 771 cases. Organophosphate enter the body through inhalation. Organophosphate pesticides work systemic to inhibit the cholinesterase enzyme causing lung function disorders. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation of cholinesterase levels to lung function in farmers exposed to organophosphate pesticides in Sukorambi Village, Jember Regency. This is an observational analytic study using a cross sectional design. Cholinesterase levels test using the DGKC method to determine the presence of poisoning, while for lung function test using spirometry with FVC, FEV1 and FEV1 / FVC ratios as parameters. The results of the test  in 30 samples showed 14.33% (4/30) abnormal cholinesterase levels or decreased. Lung function test showed 20% (6/30) had obstructive disorders, 43.33% (13/30) restrictive disorders and 36.67% (11/30) were normal. Data analysis using chi square showed a significant relationship (p = 0.049) between cholinesterase levels and lung function. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the level of cholinesterase to decrease in pulmonary physiology of farmers exposed to organophosphate pesticides in Sukorambi Village, Jember Regency.

Eksekusi Putusan Tindak Pidana Lingkungan Hidup Terkait Limbah Bahan Berbahaya Beracun (B3)
Authors: Mauluddhina Ika
Published: July 2019

Eksekusi putusan hakim dalam tindak pidana lingkungan hidup terkait limbah B-3 tidak diatur jelas dalam perundang-undangan. Dimana hal tersebut harus memenuhi kriteria menjamin keberlanjutan pemanfaatan dari makhluk hidup dan ekosistemnya. Dari negera berkembang sampai dengam negara maju limbah bahan berbahaya beracun (B3) mulai terbukti menimbulkan masalah karena dapat membahayakan lingkungan hidup. Masalah yang seringkali timbul adalah mengenai pelaksanaan putusan pengadilan yang mempunyai kekuatan hukum tetap yang dilakukan oleh Jaksa selaku eksekutor. Bagaimana cara pelaksanaan dan biaya eksekusi belum diatur dalam peraturan perundang-undangan secara komphrehensif. Masalah besarnya biaya pengolahan limbah B-3 di negara-negara maju mungkin tidak menjadi masalah karena sudah jelas penaatan dan hukum yang tegas. Sebaliknya, tidak adanya biaya dalam pemusnahan limbah B-3 di negara-negara berkembang yang menjadi barang bukti di peradilan akan menyebabkan lemahnya penegakan hukum. Di sisi lain, bila B3 tersebut dirampas untuk dimusnahkan akan menimbukan pencemaran kembli di Indonesia. Keberadaan ekspor impor limbah B-3 antara negara maju dengan negara berkembang boleh dikatakan sudah berlangsung cukup lama sampai munculnya kembali kesadaran masyarakat internasional terhadap bahaya dari pencemaran limbah industri tersebut. Putusan hakim perkara tindak pidana lingkungan terkait barang bukti perkara impor limbah B-3 seharusnya adalah direekspor kembali ke negara asal dengan biaya dari impoter atau terdakwa bukan dirampas atau dimusnahkan sehingga tidak menimbulkan pencemaran kembali di Indonesia.

Published: July 2019

The reform agenda in the financial as well as banking sector in the Indian economy was not only in the target of achieving profitable banking business but also to reduce the magnitude of banking funds locked in the bad debt account so that, among others, the real delivery of credit (the credit-deposit ratio) rises in overall fronts. The Narasimham Committee Report in respect of reducing magnitude of non- performing assets has been framed in line with the Basel Norm regarding the asset quality of the banks where capital adequacy ratio has been fixed for different banks to achieve within different time periods. The present study, under such a back ground, has been structured to examine the profile of all Scheduled Commercial Banks in all ranges of CRAR over time in aggregate and bank group specific and to measure degree of correlation of NPA-Deposit ratio with CRAR trends and Credit-Deposit Ratio in all ranges of CRAR and their significance levels for the time period 1995-96 to 2009-2010. It has been observed that there has been variation across banks in following the guidelines of the reform committee. SBI group and foreign banks have been performing well in this respect. There has been rising trend of the proportions of banks in the above 10 per cent range of CRAR. The NPA/D ratio and C-D ratio have been observed to be positively and negatively correlated respectively for the first three ranges of CRAR and reverse in the above 10 per cent range. The correlation between the NPA/D ratio and C-D ratio is negative and significant.

A Performance Evaluation Model for Global Macro Funds
Authors: Zaremba Adam
Published: July 2019

The paper concentrates on value and size effects in country portfolios. It contributes to academic literature threefold. First, I provide fresh evidence that the value and size effects may be useful in explaining the cross-sectional variation in country returns. The computations are based on a broad sample of 66 countries in years 2000-2013. Second, I document that the country-level value and size effects are indifferent to currency conversions. Finally, I introduce an alternative macro-level Fama-French model, which, contrary to its prototype, employs country-based factors. I show that applying this modification makes the model more successful in evaluation of funds with global investment mandate than the standard CAPM and FF models.

Stock Market Development and Economic Growth in India
Authors: Palamalai Srinivasan , Prakasam Karthigai
Published: July 2019

The link between stock market development and economic activity has always been the subject of considerable debate in the field of economics and it raises empirical question whether stock market development influences economic activity or whether it is a consequence of increased economic activity. This study attempts to investigate the direction of causality between stock market development and economic growth in the Indian context. Using the cointegration and causality tests for the period June 1991 to June 2013, the study confirms a well defined long-run equilibrium relationship between the stock market development indicators and economic growth in India. The empirical results show bidirectional causality between market capitalisation and economic growth and unidirectional causality from turnover ratio to economic growth in the long-run and short-run. By and large, it can be inferred that the stock market development indicators viz. market capitalisation and turnover ratio have a positive influence on economic growth in India.
Investors Behavior, Governance and Earnings Management
Authors: Khzouri Afraa , Neffati Amira
Published: July 2019

The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between earnings management, governance and investors behavior, since this latter can inform about the nature of earnings management and can be considered as a governance mechanism to reduce accounts manipulations. On the basis of a sample of 700 American firms for the period of 1996-2006, our empirical results show that investors who take short positions, are able to interpret the information detected from the earnings management. The activity of these investors may be considered as an indicator of the quality of the governance structure and the presence and nature of earnings management. The under-reaction of investors to information leads to short-term sale of the shares of poorly governed firms and characterized by an opportunistic earnings management and to invest in firms well-governed and characterized by an informational earnings management therefore an abnormal profit can be realized.
The Reputation Effect
Authors: Artige Lionel , Nicolini Rosella
Published: July 2019

This paper proposes an empirical analysis of the role of memory in determining the size of credits granted by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) during 1991–2003. We first build an original database from information associated with the number and contract types granted by clients, after which we develop an empirical strategy for capturing the role of memory, namely by defining three different indicators to approximate each client’s reputation. These indicators rely on the client’s identity and, when available, information associated with previous EBRD-financed investment projects. With the fixed-effects estimation technique, our results unambiguously show that the value of the first investment project financed by the EBRD, as a proxy for reputation, is the most effective indicator for established clients to determine the size of the credits they receive to finance further investments.
Adoption And Non-Adoption Of Mainstream Formal Banking Systems Amongst Low Income Earners In South Africa, Zambia And Zimbabwe
Authors: Mafukata Mavhungu Abel , Kancheya Grace , Dhlandhlara Willie
Published: July 2019

The majority of income earners of small-scale informal economic sectors in most developing regions abstain from mainstream formal banking systems. These income earners rather “bank” informally. Mainstream formal banking institutions also argue that low income earners are “unbankable” and posed business risk. However, emerging literature posits that low income earners would instead provide a profitable formal niche market. Trends with regard adoption and non-adoption of mainstream formal banking systems amongst small income groups were mixed. This paper investigates such patterns in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The results of this paper revealed that the informal cross-border traders who trade between Zambia and South Africa were good adopters of mainstream formal banking. The results however found a sharp contrast in Zambia. In Nyanga, Zimbabwe, the results of this paper revealed that there were a few respondents who had adopted mainstream formal banking while 47.2% of communal cattle farmers in South Africa had adopted mainstream formal banking systems through savings against 52.8% who were left out. Adoption or non-adoption of mainstream formal banking systems patterns vary from region to region, and sector to sector even where income earners were almost equals in terms of household income earnings. Mobile banking and low transaction costs might provide motivation for small-scale income earners to adopt mainstream formal banking.

However, the application of PSAK 69 to agricultural companies also facing problems such as changes in accounting treatment especially for accounting method which are changed form historical value to fair value. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of accounting treatment of biological asset in Jember plantation companies in state-owned plantation companies in Jember and Bondowoso regencies, namely PTPN 12 and PTPN 11 (PG Pradjekan). The methode used was descriptive qualitative. The researchs showed that differences in biological assets of each company can cause differences in the recording of biological assets. The differences between the two companies are in terms of plant type, plant age and costs incurred in each type of plant. However, in other cases, the accounting treatment of biological assets in PTPN 11 (PG Pradjekan) and PTPN 12 has similarity on recording biological assets at acquisition cost method. This study shows that currently both companies are still  used accounting records with a historical value approach that accumulates all costs incurred from the nursery process until the plants are transformed into yielding crops.

Published: July 2019

With an explosion of data in the near future, from observatories spanning from radio to gamma-rays, we have entered the era of time domain astronomy. Historically, this field has been limited to modeling the temporal structure with time-series simulations limited to energy ranges blessed with excellent statistics as in X-rays. In addition to ever increasing volumes and variety of astronomical lightcurves, there's a plethora of different types of transients detected not only across the electromagnetic spectrum, but indeed across multiple messengers like counterparts for neutrino and gravitational wave sources. As a result, precise, fast forecasting and modeling the lightcurves or time-series will play a crucial role in both understanding the physical processes as well as coordinating multiwavelength and multimessenger campaigns. In this regard, deep learning algorithms such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs) should prove extremely powerful for forecasting as it has in several other domains. Here we test the performance of a very successful class of RNNs, the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) algorithms with simulated lightcurves. We focus on univariate forecasting of types of lightcurves typically found in active galactic nuclei (AGN) observations. Specifically, we explore the sensitivity of training and test losses to key parameters of the LSTM network and data characteristics namely gaps and complexity measured in terms of number of Fourier components. We find that typically, the performances of LSTMs are better for pink or flicker noise type sources. The key parameters on which performance is dependent are batch size for LSTM and the gap percentage of the lightcurves. While a batch size of $10-30$ seems optimal, the most optimal test and train losses are under $10 \%$ of missing data for both periodic and random gaps in pink noise. The performance is far worse for red noise. This compromises detectability of transients. The performance gets monotonically worse for data complexity measured in terms of number of Fourier components which is especially relevant in the context of complicated quasi-periodic signals buried under noise. Thus, we show that time-series simulations are excellent guides for use of RNN-LSTMs in forecasting.

Published: July 2019

This paper examines wastewater treatment and reuse in Catalonia and Valencia through a benchmarking analysis of energy intensities of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) located in the coastal municipalities of both regions also involving comparison with average European data on energy use by these plants. The comparison of European and Spanish Mediterranean WWTPs indicates that small Mediterranean plants are less energy intensive than their European counterparts, while for larger plants (above 10,000 m3 /day) the reverse is true. As to the comparison between Catalan and Valencian plants, the latter are generally smaller than the former, and also slightly more energy intensive. Regarding reuse, the geographical context would explain these differences in terms of the final destination of effluents treated in these plants. The important presence of irrigated agriculture in Valencia is responsible for the reuse of 45% of potentially reclaimed water while Catalonia, with a different socioterritorial reality, reuses less than 3% of the total effluent treated.

Background

Regorafenib is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) previously treated with fluoropyrimidines, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, monoclonal antibodies targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and monoclonal antibodies targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). A dose reduction from 160 mg to 120 mg regorafenib reduces regorafenib-associated adverse events (AEs). Dose adjustment of irinotecan in FOLFIRI regimen on basis of individual uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) genotype provides optimal oncological outcomes with acceptable AEs. This study is trying to address the efficacy and safety of dose adjusted combination of regorafenib and FOLFIRI for patients with mCRC.

Methods

A prospective, multicenter, randomized in a 2:1 ratio, controlled, clinical trial with two parallel arms will be conducted to compare irinotecan dose escalated FOLFIRI according to UGT1A1 genotyping plus 120 mg regorafenib with 120 mg regorafenib alone in previously treated patients with mCRC. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) and the secondary endpoints are overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), time to progression (TTP), and duration of treatment (DoT). Safety assessments are recorded as well.

Discussion

Dose adjustment for regorafenib and irinotecan makes treatment-related AEs tolerable and makes the concomitant treatment practicable. This study will provide initial evidences regarding the efficacy and safety of a new combination of chemotherapy and a targeted agent for mCRC.
