Prediction of Vortex-Induced Vibration Response of Deep Sea Top-Tensioned Riser in Sheared Flow Considering Parametric Excitations
Authors: Gao Guanghai , Cui Yunjing , Qiu Xingqi
Published: November 2020

It is widely accepted that vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is a major concern in the design of deep sea top-tensioned risers, especially when the riser is subjected to axial parametric excitations. An improved time domain prediction model was proposed in this paper. The prediction model was based on classical van der Pol wake oscillator models, and the impacts of the riser in-line vibration and vessel heave motion were considered. The finite element, Newmark-β and Newton‒Raphson methods were adopted to solve the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations. The entire numerical solution process was realised by a self-developed program based on MATLAB. Comparisons between the numerical calculation and the published experimental test were conducted in this paper. The in-line and cross-flow VIV responses of a real size top-tensioned riser in linear sheared flow were analysed. The effects of the vessel heave amplitude and frequency on the riser VIV were also studied. The results show that the vibration displacements of the riser are larger than the case without vessel heave motion. The vibration modes and frequencies of the riser are also changed due to the vessel heave motion
A New Low SNR Underwater Acoustic Signal Classification Method Based on Intrinsic Modal Features Maintaining Dimensionality Reduction
Authors: Ju Yang , Wei Zhengxian , Huangfu Li , Xiao Feng
Published: November 2020

The classification of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) underwater acoustic signals in complex acoustic environments and increasingly small target radiation noise is a hot research topic.. This paper proposes a new method for signal processing—low SNR underwater acoustic signal classification method (LSUASC)—based on intrinsic modal features maintaining dimensionality reduction. Using the LSUASC method, the underwater acoustic signal was first transformed with the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) and the intrinsic mode was extracted. the intrinsic mode was then transformed into a corresponding Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficient (MFCC) to form a multidimensional feature vector of the low SNR acoustic signal. Next, a semi-supervised fuzzy rough Laplacian Eigenmap (SSFRLE) method was proposed to perform manifold dimension reduction (local sparse and discrete features of underwater acoustic signals can be maintained in the dimension reduction process) and principal component analysis (PCA) was adopted in the process of dimension reduction to define the reduced dimension adaptively. Finally, Fuzzy C-Means (FCMs), which are able to classify data with weak features was adopted to cluster the signal features after dimensionality reduction. The experimental results presented here show that the LSUASC method is able to classify low SNR underwater acoustic signals with high accuracy.
Topographic Correction of LAPAN-A3/LAPAN-IPB Multispectral Image: A Comparison of Five Different Algorithms
Authors: Zylshal Zylshal
Published: November 2020

Reflectance variability in mountainous regions caused by steep slopes can decrease the accuracy of landcover mapping. Topographic correction aims to reduce this effect, and various techniques have been proposed to conduct such correction on satellite imagery. This paper presents the initial results of five different topographic correction techniques applied to LAPAN-A3 multispectral images, namely cosine correction, improved cosine correction, Minnaert correction, modified Minnaert correction and two-stage normalization. The widely-available ALOS World 3D 30 meter DEM was employed, with the evaluation made in a mountainous area in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, located in an ancient volcanic region, with slopes ranging from 0 to 60 degrees. The slope aspect was almost equally distributed in all directions. Visual and statistical analysis was conducted before and after the topographic correction to evaluate the results. Standard deviation (SD) and the coefficient variation (CV) were calculated; the results show that the topographic corrections were able to reduce the effect of shadows and relief. Minnaert correction proved to be the best method in terms of visual appearance and spectral variability reduction.

Published: November 2020

With the advancement in microprocessor technology, mobile phones are becoming more preferable in our day to day lives as compared to personal computers since most phones are capable of functionalities as sophisticated as our PC’s or laptops. Mobile phones nowadays have processor speeds as high as 1GHz and can have a storage capacity of about 32Gb and they also have long hours of battery life. In addition to these feature, there is the aspect of great portability. When all these are combined into one, the mobile phones can be viewed as a very powerful device that rivals PC’s. Advancements of hardware also had made mobile phones much smaller and more efficient whereas including an increasing of peripherals number. The scope of this paper is basically to make a mobile phone application and how to interface the mobile phone to the scanner. The mobile application is to be developed in the Linux-based Android platform. An algorithm based on the operation principles is also to be developed during the work.

Published: November 2020

The Internet of Things is considered an emerging technology with the potential to penetrate all aspects of our lives. However, with great power comes great responsibility and the privacy and security needed for critical infrastructure or sensitive commercial operations is very different than the needs of a Smart Home. Additionally, the available security resources from the private sector are totally different than the ones available to a homeowner. In this context, we developed an open source architecture for IoT which is based on the advantages of a SCADA system and can be easily applied to a Smart Home. This architecture assures a high-security level, even for low technical skills homeowners, with minimal costs.
Power Control in an Islanded Microgrid Using Virtual Impedance
Authors: Dashtdar Majid , Dashtdar Masoud
Published: November 2020

The common droop method is one of the most effective methods for controlling power-sharing in islanded microgrid. Due to the dependence of the active and reactive power on the voltage and frequency in resistor microgrid, the use of this method in controlling the power-sharing in these types of a microgrid to the undesirable performance of active and reactive power-sharing. In this paper, by applying virtual impedance in the local controller of distributed generation resources, this paper has modified the common droop method and improved power-sharing. The proposed virtual impedance has an adjustable resistor section and a fixed reactance section. Simulation of a typical islanded microgrid in PSCAD / EMTDC software shows that the proposed method is capable of improving the active and reactive power sharing in resistive microgrid controlled by the droop method.
Development and Characterization of EST-SSR Markers for Juniperus squamata (Cupressaceae), an ecologically important conifer in Asian mountains
Authors: Ju Tsam , Farhat Perla , Tao Wenjing , Miao Jibin , Li Jialiang , Fan Xiaoyan , Tso Sonam , Mao Kangshan
Published: November 2020

Juniperus squamata, an endemic conifer of Asia, is an important shrub ecologically and economically. Yet little is known about its genetic diversity and population structure due to lacking of highly polymorphic molecular markers. In this study, expressed sequence tag microsatellite markers (EST-SSR) were developed for Juniperus squamata. Illumina HiSeq data were used to reconstruct the transcriptome of this species by de novo assembly. Based on this transcriptome, 18 SSR markers were designed and successfully amplified. Just one locus was eliminated due to its detection of null alleles and the remaining 17 loci were polymorphic, generating five to 14 alleles per locus in J. squamata. Markers cross-amplification tests were successful in two closely related species of J. squamata. These markers will serve as a basis for further studies to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of J. squamata. As well, they could be useful in promoting sustainable forest management strategies for this species in the face of global climate change.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza, na ile obowiązujące prawodawstwo oraz akty planowania strategicznego są adekwatne do narastających wyzwań w zakresie potrzeb polityki przestrzennej związanych z przenikaniem się i mieszaniem przeznaczenia i funkcji terenów związanych z gospodarką rolniczą oraz presją lokalizacji zabudowy mieszkaniowej i usługowej, a także utrzymywaniem w obrębie miast terenów zielonych. Analiza ta dotyczy wybranych zagadnień, w szczególności: adekwatności powiązania ochrony gruntów rolnych z granicami administracyjnymi miast i dopuszczalności określania przeznaczenia wielofunkcyjnego i mieszanego w dokumentach planistycznych, a zwłaszcza miejscowym planie zagospodarowania przestrzennego.
O poszerzenie podejścia do partycypacji społecznej w kształtowaniu przestrzeni
Authors: Siemiński Waldemar , Tarchalska Ewa
Published: November 2020

Abstrakt

W ujęciach teoretycznych partycypacji społecznej w planowaniu i kształ-towaniu przestrzeni po inicjującej je koncepcji „drabiny partycypacji” S.R. Arnstein (1968) zapanował zastój. Przykładowo problematyka ta w ogóle nie pojawia się w podręcznikach socjologii miasta i przestrzeni. Jest tak mimo „nadprodukcji” narzędzi i metod partycypacji w praktyce zarządzania publicznego, w tym w planowaniu przestrzennym. Artykuł próbuje nadrobić ten brak. Proponuje istotne dla ujęć teoretycznych: 1) pełniejsze zdefiniowanie partycypacji społecznej; 2) inne niż u S.R. Arnstein (1968) klasyfikacje typów partycypacji; 3) przykłady nowych, innowacyjnych w kształtowaniu przestrzeni narzędzi i metod partycypacji społecznej. Szczupłe objętościowo ramy artykułu każą raczej sygnalizować niż rozwijać problemy.
Miejsce i rola kultury oraz dziedzictwa kulturowego w rewitalizacji na Mazowszu
Authors: Tomczyk Edyta
Published: November 2020

Abstrakt

Od połowy XX w. obserwuje się wzrost znaczenia kultury w rozwoju miast, która z czasem stała się też ważnym elementem procesów rewitalizacji zdegradowanych dzielnic. W Europie Zachodniej szczytowym przejawem tej roli były tzw. projekty flagowe, a na niwie naukowej – modele rewitalizacji w mniejszym lub większym stopniu wykorzystujące kulturę. Inaczej wygląda sytuacja w Polsce, gdzie rolę kultury w rewitalizacji określają obowiązujące akty prawne regulujące zasady prowadzenia rewitalizacji na obszarach zdegradowanych gmin. Wyznaczona w nich rola ogranicza właściwie udział kultury do poprawy uczestnictwa w życiu kulturalnym i przeciwdziałania degradacji obiektów dziedzictwa kulturowego. Celem artykułu jest analiza miejsca i roli dziedzictwa kulturowego oraz kultury w obecnie realizowanych programach rewitalizacji w gminach miejskich na Mazowszu. W badaniu skupiono się na identyfikacji wskaźników wykorzystanych w diagnozie delimitacyjnej i pogłębionej pod kątem obecności kultury i dziedzictwa kulturowego. Kwestię tę przeanalizowano również w przypadku celów i kierunków działań oraz zaplanowanych przedsięwzięć analizowanych programów. W podsumowaniu artykułu znalazły się wnioski z przeprowadzonego badania i próba odpowiedzi na pytanie o rolę kultury w procesie rewitalizacji na podstawie modelu zaproponowanego przez G. Ewans (2005).

The paper presents a method for gradual automation of ship manoeuvring, focusing on ships already in service. The approach involves the expert knowledge of both nautical officers and ship engineers to optimise the operational behaviour and reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Detailed models of dynamic ship motion and engine processes form the basis of various software tools to assist the manual planning and execution of effective voyages. The results of a study in ship handling simulator show that the manual manoeuvring efficiency of experienced nautical officers has also been significantly increased by these assistance instruments. With regard to automatic shipping, the generated optimal plan is transferred to the automatic control system as a target trajectory. Based on a simplified motion model, the controller structure with feed-forward and feedback modules was developed to realise velocity, heading and track control. Results of controller application in simulator tests with and without wind disturbances are presented. In addition, the paper describes the development of necessary framework conditions for safety-critical areas for the application of automatically controlled manoeuvres in today’s practice with the so-called nautical algorithms according to the research project GALILEOnautic 2.
Contemporary Challenges in Chicanx/Latinx Literature & Culture

This introductory paper traces a general perspective of the nowadays Chicanx/Latinx stateof the question, including articles, notes, creative poems and drawings, and a tribute inmemoriam Rudolfo A. Anaya (1937-2020). Challenging canons, norms and genres seemsto be particularly appropriate when tackling ideology from the polychromatic gaze oftranscultural minorities in the US. As such, Chicanx/Latinx literary and artistic expressionsact as catalysts of renovation and change, not only in terms of content but also playing withforms in a freer, experimental way. Transgressing what is considered “normal” seems to bethe only way to cope with fringes and frames, and thus a contemporary redefinition of theworld is reached to highlight the “real” truth of artistic normativity.
Corridos, Tequila (and others), and Mexican/Chicano Masculinity
Authors:   Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea/Universidad del País Vasco (España), Ibarraran-Bigalondo Amaia
Published: November 2020

The Mexican corrido is one of the most popular cultural manifestations both in the United States and Mexico. From its origins in the mid-nineteenth century, the corrido has dealt with “people’s stuff,” such as war, love, honor, immigration and/or belonging to a land, among other everyday life issues. The corrido is, in short, a symbol of identity and belonging, and can be considered a marker of the Mexican identity on both sides of the border. In this sense, it is to be expected that the corrido, as an expression of “people’s stuff,” voices the relevance of a “national” symbol. In the same way, tequila is regarded, at least internationally, as directly related to “lo mexicano/chicano,” and in many cases also to Mexican/Chicano masculinity. Starting from this premise, the aim of this article is to observe the presence of tequila and its significance as a symbol of “lo mexicano/chicano” in the work of Los Tigres del Norte, one of the most prominent corrido bands, both locally and internationally.
The Coatlicue’s State in The Mixquiahuala Letters: A Postmodern Interpretation on How to Reach the Mestiza Consciousness
Authors:   University of California, Santa Barbara, USA, Aguilar Mariela
Published: November 2020

During the Chicana Literary Renaissance of the 1980s, Chicana writers–influenced by the Third World Feminist Movement–revealed new forms of representation of the Chicana experience. While concentrating on the subversive reading of the subject-object duality in Ana Castillo’s novel, The Mixquiahuala Letters (1985), Gloria E. Anzaldúa’s theory of the mestiza consciousness is also reviewed. Castillo represents the mestiza consciousness through her protagonist in a process of self-discovery through the reflection of autohistoria-teoría within the forty letters. The dichotomies of patriarchal ideologies that divide her from the Other are examined through the Coatlicue State, as inflected by such writers such as Julio Cortázar, Anaïs Nin and Miguel de Cervantes. Castillo creates a postmodern hopscotch style novel in which the reader is fundamental to the subversive interpretation of the three reading options (the conformist, the cynical, and the quixotic).
Helen Hunt Jackson’s Ramona: The Romance that Became a Tourist Guide and Silenced the Mestiza
Authors:   Universidad de Oviedo (España), Fernández Rodríguez Carolina
Published: November 2020

This study focuses on American writer and activist Helen Hunt Jackson and aims to explain why her romance Ramona (1884), originally intended as a form of literary activism on behalf of California’s Native Americans, failed to effect actual change in the situation of the state’s indigenous population and, instead, ended up as an accomplice in the late 19th-century development of Anglo California. Said development brought along not only the advance of railroad companies, real-estate investors and the tourist industry, but, most poignantly, the displacement and consequent genocide of its Native inhabitants. All in all, the paper will prove that a social and political vision like Jackson’s, weighed down by the systems of imperialism and capitalism, as well as the oppressive discourses of racism and sexism, was bound to entrench economic, sexual and racial inequalities despite its good intentions.

Maculopapular rash mainly distributed over the trunk, is reported as the most common cutaneous manifestation in COVID-19 patients. The palms, soles, and face are usually spared. The rash is associated with itching in 56% of patients and is observed along with COVID-19 symptoms. Maculopapular rash is considered as a feature of severe COVID-19 and the lesions usually resolve in 10 days. We report a COVID-19 patient whose initial manifestation was an atypical maculopapular rash with urticarial wheals and erythema multiforme-like lesions. The patient denied drug intake before the onset of skin lesions. The rash was distributed over the face, palms, and soles in addition to the trunk and limbs. The patient had only mild symptoms of COVID-19. The rash lasted for 3 weeks and resolved with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and peeling of the skin of the fingertips. We report this case to highlight the possibility of skin rash being the initial sign of COVID-19.
Dosing interval adjustment of denosumab for the treatment of giant cell tumor of the sphenoid bone: A case report
Authors: Tanikawa Motoki , Yamada Hiroshi , Sakata Tomohiro , Mase Mitsuhito
Published: November 2020

Background:

In the treatment of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), the efficacy and safety of denosumab, a receptor activator nuclear factor κ-B ligand inhibitor, has previously been demonstrated, especially for unresectable tumors. One of the current issues in denosumab treatment for unresectable GCTB is whether it can be discontinued, or whether the dosage or the dosing interval can safely be adjusted, if discontinuation is not possible, to avoid the occurrence of side effects.

Case Description:

A 15-year-old boy with diplopia was referred to our hospital after a space-occupying lesion in the sphenoid bone was found on head CT. Partial removal of the tumor was performed through an endoscopic endonasal approach, and pathological diagnosis was confirmed as GCTB. Thereafter, the patient received 120 mg subcutaneous injections of denosumab every 28 days for the first 2 years. Since bone formation was induced and sustained along with tumor reduction, the dosing interval was gradually extended, with 4 monthly dosing for the next 1 year, followed by 6 monthly dosing for the succeeding 2 years. With the extension of the dosing interval, the ossified tumor has regrown slightly, but within an acceptable range.

Conclusion:

Discontinuation of denosumab treatment for unresectable GCTB was not thought to be possible for the current case due to the nature of the drug, as reported in the literature. Extending the dosing interval up to 6 monthly, as could be done safely in the current case, can be considered a useful and appropriate measure.

Programs about Books and Reading in Central Television
Authors: Solonenko Vladimir K.
Published: November 2020

For a long time, various programs about books and reading appeared on TV and then disappeared. They were lost in the TV broadcasting and programs among other programs, cinema films and TV movies. And when programs were closed, they were quickly forgotten. The purpose of this article is to reveal all such TV programs. The author studied the period of more than 50 years. The article gives the names of TV shows about books and reading, belonging to certain channels, and the time of airing. As possible, the author discloses their intent, concepts, content and the names of TV presenters. The sources for the article were weekly bulletins about TV programs, and in the last 30 years — also articles, notes, interviews in professional and general periodicals.

In Soviet times, there were TV programs “In the world of books”, “Bookshop”, “Reading circle”. In 1978—1979, the TV presenter of the “Reading circle” was N.M. Sikorsky, then Director of the V.I. Lenin State Library of the USSR. In post-Soviet Russia, there got more broadcasts of that kind. These were both educational programs (“Book yard”, “Graphoman”, “Exlibris”, “Book storehouse”) and numerous commercial ones (“Bookstore”, “Home library”, “Bibliomania”, “World of books with Leonid Kuravlev”, “Book news”, “Book world”). The author gives more details are tells about the program “Graphoman”, which was invented and presented by A.N. Shatalov, the poet, critic and publisher. The program originated in 1994 and was broadcast on various channels for more than 10 years. Programs of the recent years are “Book for breakfast”, “Various Readings”, “Words order”, “Figure of speech”, “Pro-Reading”, “Book measurement”, “What to read?”. For over half a century, television actively supported the initiators and creators of various programs that promoted books and reading. This activity has slightly declined in recent years. But viewers continue to learn from the TV screen about new books and watch events in the book industry.

Published: November 2020

El tratamiento integral del dolor es multimodal, y la farmacoterapia desempeña un papel clave. Una terapia eficaz para el dolor depende de la intensidad y el tipo de dolor, las comorbilidades y la elección adecuada del analgésico, su dosis y la vía de administración. Se ha observado a través de los estudios analizados en diferentes artículos de revisión la importancia del uso de la analgesia transdérmica en pacientes con necesidades paliativas, esta revisión tiene como objetivo presentar la identificación de los beneficios y/o ventajas del uso de la analgesia en pacientes con necesidades paliativas, determinar las desventajas del uso de analgesia transdérmica y describir los principales factores que intervienen en la no adherencia del tratamiento con analgesia  transdérmica. Se realizó una revisión desde el año 2010 a 2019, se analizaron 10 artículos como insumo final para la presente revisión. Los opioides administrados por vía transdérmica se absorben en los vasos ubicados en el tejido subcutáneo y, posteriormente, se transportan en la sangre a los receptores opioides localizados en el sistema nervioso central y periférico, lo que nos muestras una mejor adherencia en el tratamiento  del paciente paliativo, la cual permitió evaluar los beneficios del uso de los parches de buprenorfina y fentanilo, mostrando como resultado el adecuado control del dolor y proporcionando así una mejor calidad de vida por otro lado los analgésicos administrados por vía tópica tienen un perfil mucho mejor para los efectos adversos debido a que se relacionan  con efectos sistémicos mínimos. Se requiere mayor información y educación de los pacientes, para tener una óptima adherencia.

Published: November 2020

El propósito de esta investigación fue adaptar el Modelo de Aceptación de Tecnología (TAM) para predecir la aceptación y el uso del gobierno electrónico entre los empleados municipales en Ecuador. El estudio en su epistemología partió de lo empírico-inductivo, basado en la observación de la percepción. De la revisión de la literatura, el modelo se adaptó al caso de Ecuador y se desarrolló un cuestionario con 20 ítems ​​en escalas Likert. El instrumento fue aplicado a 80 empleados de las diferentes dependencias de un municipio en Ecuador, de los cuales 67 respondieron, de estos 5 no lo completaron 100%; por lo tanto, 62 observaciones se consideraron para el análisis, por la técnica utilizada la muestra es válida. Se realizaron las pruebas de validez y confiabilidad del modelo de ecuaciones estructurales por mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS), con el apoyo del software estadístico SmartPLS. Los resultados indican que solo una hipótesis de TAM no se cumple en el contexto ecuatoriano y que la principal contribución fue identificar que la utilidad percibida (PU) es el factor relevante para predecir la aceptación del gobierno electrónico entre los empleados municipales de Ecuador. Una limitante de este estudio puede ser el haber aplicado la investigación en un solo municipio.

Authors: Festus Kelechi Williams , Ezeigbo Ephraim chidi
Published: November 2020

In this present study, a hybrid technique consisting of Electrochemical and UV irradiation is applied simultaneously to degrade simulated dyeing wastewater containing Disperse blue 1 dye. Several operational parameters such as the effects of pH, current intensity, temperature, initial concentration, and kinetic of the dye concentration on treatment efficiency were studied. The experimental results show that the decolourization rate of the wastewater is highest at low dye concentration consequent on the fact that it gave a percentage decolourization of 82.1 at a dye concentration of 25mg/L in a short time interval of 180 minutes. The influence of pH was also evaluated and the result showed higher efficiency of decolourization at alkaline PH. Similar evaluations were done for current and temperature. Finally, a comparative study was carried out to compare the efficiency of decolourization for a single electrochemical treatment, and the hybrid technique applied here. The result showed a relatively better efficiency of 89.1% for the photoelectrochemical technique compared to an88.7% for the electrochemical method.

Glucuronidation is a common phase II metabolic process for drugs and xenobiotics which increases their solubility for excretion. Acyl glucuronides (glucuronides of carboxylic acids) present concerns of toxicity as they have been implicated in gastrointestinal toxicity and hepatic failure. Despite the substantial success in the bulk analysis of these species, little is known about their localization in tissues. Herein, we used nanospray desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (nano-DESI-MSI) to examine the localization of diclofenac, a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and its metabolites in mouse kidney and liver tissues. Nano-DESI allows for label-free imaging with high spatial resolution and sensitivity without special sample pretreatment. Using nano-DESI-MSI, ion images for diclofenac and its major metabolites were produced. MSI data acquired over a broad m/z range showed fairly low signals of the drug and its metabolites. At least an order of magnitude improvement in the signals was obtained using selected ion monitoring (SIM), with m/z windows centered around the low-abundance ions of interest. Using nano-DESI MSI in SIM mode, we observed that diclofenac acyl glucuronide is localized to the inner medulla and hydroxydiclofenac to the cortex of the kidney. The distributions observed for both metabolites closely match the previously reported localization of enzymes that process diclofenac into its respective metabolites. The localization of diclofenac acyl glucuronide to medulla likely indicates that the toxic metabolite is being excreted from the tissue. In contrast, a uniform distribution of diclofenac, hydroxydiclofenac and the diclofenac acyl glucuronide metabolite was observed in the liver tissue. Semiquantitative analysis found the metabolite to diclofenac ratios calculated from nano-DESI in agreement to those calculated from liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) experiments. Collectively, our results demonstrate nano-DESI-MSI can be successfully used to image diclofenac and its primary metabolites in dosed liver and kidney tissues from mice and derive semi-quantitative data from localized tissue regions.

The article examines the problem of the impact of sustainable development on the process of decision-making in the agricultural sector. Since 2015, natural anomalies have occurred in the world, which are the result of the destruction of nature by man. They are caused by economic growth, which requires the involvement of a significant proportion of non-renewable resources in the economic turnover. And they are limited. First of all, we are talking about the use of hydrocarbons, gas and coal, which pollute the natural environment with greenhouse gases. To fight against them, it is necessary to reduce their emissions into the atmosphere. To do this, it is necessary to make a decision to create a green economy, switch to the use of clean energy and introduce a tax on greenhouse gas emissions.

Los docentes consideran importante trabajar transversalmente la ECG, bajo un modelo educativo orientado a una educación integral de las personas, la responsabilidad social y la participación activa. Se considera como un reto de futuro el desarrollo de propuestas de ECG vinculadas con mejoras en la formación docente, en la metodología y en la relación con la comunidad educativa, agentes externos y administración educativa.
¿Los toques de queda para menores de edad disminuyen la tasa de homicidio? Evidencia de Cali (Colombia)
Authors: Burbano Enrique Javier , Villa Edgar , Zafra Maria Isabel
Published: November 2020

Utilizamos el método de diferencias-en-diferencia (DD) para estimar el impacto sobre la tasa de homicidio del toque de queda para menores (TQM) aplicado (en 2012) en algunas comunas de Cali (Colombia), una de las ciudades más violentas del mundo. Encontramos que la política no causó un efecto negativo sobre la tasa de homicidio, en promedio, algo que fue contrario al objetivo de la política. Este resultado es robusto para diferentes especificaciones muestrales definidas para captar efectos locales —continuos (spillovers) o discontinuos— y sesgos en el diseño de la política. Estudiamos el DD con efectos heterogéneos y encontramos, para algunas especificaciones, que la política del TQM en barrios con estrato socioeconómico alto causó una reducción en la tasa de homicidio, aunque el efecto neto promedio de la política en zonas con y sin estos atributos no fue diferente de cero. Evidenciamos que el TQM neutralizó el efecto de otras intervenciones públicas complementarias. Racionalizamos los resultados desde la teoría económica del crimen, donde discutimos acerca de los posibles incentivos que una política como el TQM puede generar para delincuentes y no delincuentes, lo cual explica algunas de las fallas de la política en su diseño.
Las asimetrías de la enfermedad holandesa. Revisando el modelo petrolero noruego, 1970-2015
Authors: Wirth Eszter , Ramírez-Cendrero Juan M.
Published: November 2020

En este artículo, se discute sobre la existencia de enfermedad holandesa (EH) en la economía noruega, lo que implica analizar tanto sus manifestaciones como sus vínculos con las políticas. A partir de una visión sistematizada de la configuración y evolución de la industria petrolera en el período 1970-2018, se muestra el impacto ejercido por este sector sobre el resto de la economía y se valora la dependencia que la economía noruega tiene de esta industria. En particular, no se observan manifestaciones claras del efecto reasignación de recursos de la EH, aunque sí cierto efecto gasto. Además, y a pesar de los índices de dependencia petrolera más bajos que los de otros grandes productores, el conjunto de la economía noruega muestra una alta vinculación al sector y la balanza comercial ha registrado déficits crecientes en la partida de las manufacturas de mayor contenido tecnológico. A partir de estos resultados, se diagnostica la medida, tenue, en que la EH se manifiesta en Noruega, lo que puede permitir hacer aportaciones en términos de política de desarrollo para economías ricas en hidrocarburos.
Alternativas de gobernación para el desarrollo local. Corresponsabilidad de Gobierno-sociedad para el mejoramiento comunitario en México
Authors: Santes-Álvarez Ricardo V.
Published: November 2020

Se examina la viabilidad de la gobernación corresponsable como opción para alcanzar mejores estadios de desarrollo, en el contexto de un gobierno local y una comunidad en el noroeste de México. Para ello, se realiza un análisis cualitativo de una iniciativa de fortalecimiento comunitario, impulsada por una asociación de colonos, quienes responden a una convocatoria de la municipalidad. Los resultados indican que, en la interacción de gobierno-sociedad, el ejercicio del poder mantuvo inercias de un estilo de toma de decisiones centralizado, excluyente y opaco; asimismo que, a pesar de avances satisfactorios en la base social, la incertidumbre sobre el éxito de la iniciativa fomentó la aparición de desarticulaciones importantes. Se concluye que el objetivo del desarrollo local, en el que se contempla una gobernación de responsabilidades compartidas entre autoridades y ciudadanos en un marco de diálogos y acuerdos de beneficio amplio, demanda reformas institucionales de descentralización, inclusión y transparencia en la toma de decisiones.
