The theory and practise of legal feminism: examining its impact on the representation of women in Indonesia
Authors: Novita Alfiani  , Nesita Anggraini
Published: January 2024

This paper examines Indonesian legal feminist theory on public sector women representation. Data is collected and analyzed by observation in this sociological legal research. According to the findings, gender inequality underpins a variety of attitudes and activities that promote equal rights. Elizabeth Cady Stanton's feminism was founded on the conflict. The pursuit of rights requires active lobbying, which has sparked social change, mostly through new laws passed by governments. Feminist legal consciousness shapes legislation. However, legal culture appears to affect activists' different methods of communicating their goals. As pre-18th-century nations, Britain and America have faced political turbulence caused by feminists campaigning for women's suffrage. The UK addressed the matter by legislation, while the US changed the constitution. Contrary to Indonesia, where women's political rights were recognized later, equality was achieved by affirmative action laws to increase women's political representation. However, following socioeconomic shift also limited affirmative action implementation, hindering democratic progress.

Authors: Vinces Llaguno Leonardo Santiago , Andrade Cedeño Fabiola Karina , Monge Garcia Gustavo Vinicio
Published: January 2024

La presente investigación se centró en la relevancia y el impacto de los juegos etnomatemáticos en el desarrollo lógico-matemático de niños de 4 a 5 años que asisten a la Unidad Educativa "Distrito Metropolitano". El juego, como elemento crucial en la pedagogía, no sólo proporciona entretenimiento y diversión, sino que también sirve como herramienta fundamental en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Esta importancia se magnifica especialmente en las primeras etapas educativas, donde los juegos etnomatemáticos, que reflejan sabidurías y conocimientos matemáticos de diversas culturas, pueden ser especialmente enriquecedores. A través de un estudio experimental, se midió el nivel inicial de competencias lógico-matemáticas en los niños, se aplicaron guías didácticas que incorporaban juegos etnomatemáticos y, tras ello, se volvieron a evaluar dichas competencias. Los resultados mostraron avances significativos en las habilidades evaluadas. La mayoría de los estudiantes pasó de tener habilidades iniciales o en proceso a demostrar habilidades adquiridas en áreas como la identificación de figuras geométricas y relaciones numéricas. Estos hallazgos respaldan la idea de que la integración de la diversidad cultural a través de juegos etnomatemáticos no solo respeta y valora la herencia cultural, sino que también ofrece métodos pedagógicos robustos para mejorar la educación matemática.

Published: January 2024

A doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC) é considerada um problema de saúde pública que envolve também a saúde global. Esta doença é mais comum em idosos, pois estão sujeitos a alterações biopsicossociais e isso aumenta a probabilidade de adquirir infecções, dependência funcional e fragilidade do sistema orgânico. Além disso, outros fatores que podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento da DPOC são a deficiência de Alfa1-antitripsina, a exposição ocupacional a poeira, fumaça e poluição. Ademais, a doença pode levar anos para se desenvolver, sendo sua manifestação mais rápida em fumantes, mas com alto risco de morte nos tabagistas. O objetivo do estudo foi buscar nas bases de dados os principais sintomas e fatores etiológicos da DPOC.

Hand Grip Strength as a Predictive Tool for Upper Extremity Functionality, Balance, and Quality of Life in People With Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: Seferoğlu Meral , Aksoy Meliha Kasapoğlu , Tunç Abdulkadir
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND:

Upper extremity strength and function are rarely assessed in routine multiple sclerosis (MS) care. This study aimed to evaluate hand muscle strength and functionality in individuals with MS and investigate correlations with upper extremity function, cognitive status, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and balance.

METHODS:

A cross-sectional study was conducted with 45 consecutive individuals with MS between the ages of 18 and 65. Upper limb motor strength was evaluated using a hand grip strength dynamometer. Upper limb functional capacity was assessed using the Nine-Hole Peg Test (9HPT) and the Duruoz Hand Index (DHI). Balance, coordination, and falls were measured with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Falls Efficacy Scale (FES), and the 30-Second Chair Stand Test (30CST). Cognitive function was evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment instrument and the Symbol Digit Modalities Test. Level of HRQOL was assessed using the self-reported 54-item MS Quality of Life-54 questionnaire.

RESULTS:

Out of the 45 participants (80% women, mean age 36.6 ± 8.6 years), higher hand grip dynamometer measures were strongly correlated with better DHI, 9HPT, BBS, FES, and 30CST scores. In the regression analysis, a 1-unit increase in dynamometer measures led to a 0.383 increase in overall HRQOL score.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study demonstrates that increased hand grip strength (HGS) is associated with better hand functionality, balance, and HRQOL in individuals with MS. It provides evidence to support more systematic measurement of HGS in the care of people with MS.

Published: January 2024

This study investigates the composition of essential oil and biological activities of Nepeta phyllochlamys P. H. Davis, a local endemic species from the Lamiaceae family. Samples of N. phyllochlamys were collected from three populations, and essential oil components were compared among these populations. The main components identified in samples from three localities included caryophyllene oxide, δ-pinene, linalool, T-cadinol, α-pinene, and 14-nor-kadin-5-en-4-one (isomer A). Remarkably, the chemical content of the plant exhibited variations based on geographical regions. Although the plant showed limited antibacterial and anticandidal activities in tests, this research holds significant importance due to several factors. N. phyllochlamys is a local endemic species and part of the widely used Nepeta genus in traditional practices. Moreover, there is a scarcity of studies conducted on N. phyllochlamys, and to the best of our knowledge, no previous research has explored its phytochemical profile and antimicrobial properties. This article contributes valuable insights into the antimicrobial effects of N. phyllochlamys, shedding light on its chemical composition through the application of the GC-FID and GC-MS method.

The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic significance of CSCs cell population in human breast cancer. Tissue samples from primary and recurrent invasive ductal breast carcinomas, regional lymph nodes (metastatic and non-metastatic), distant bone metastases, as well as cells from permanent breast carcinoma cell lines (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231) and a normal mammary tissue cell line (MCF10) were included in the study. Tumour stem cells were identified immunohistochemically by the markers CD24, CD44 and ALDH1. The results of this study showed an increased population of tumour stem cells with high expression of CD44 and ALDH1 in invasive ductal carcinomas with metastatic regional lymph node and distant metastasis. Determination of the expression of markers characterizing the stem cell phenotype in breast cancer -- CD44, CD24 and ALDH1 early in the diagnostic process would be of high informative value regarding the biological behaviour of the tumour, in particular to assess its metastatic potential.

Published: January 2024

The aim of the research is to perform microbiological analysis of respiratory tract samples in patients with cystic fibrosis and to verify the aetiology, prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated pathogens.

Sixteen patients with cystic fibrosis aged from 3 months to 30 years were included. Twenty-nine respiratory and one digestive tract samples were tested. The identification of isolated pathogens was performed using conventional\break methods and automated miniAPI and VITEK 2 systems (bioMerieux, France). Antibiotic sensitivity of all isolates was determined by a disk diffusion test or the minimum inhibitory concentration method.

A total of 34 microbial strains from 15 patients were isolated: Gram-positive bacteria 12 (35.29%), Gram-negative bacteria 20 (58.82%) and yeast-like fungi 2 (5.88%). S. aureus is the dominant pathogen among Gram-positive bacteria. Most of the Gram-negative bacteria are identified as P. aeruginosa and other non-fermenting glucose bacteria and the rest as H. influenzae and E. coli. P. aeruginosa was isolated from patients in different age groups. The strains showed good sensitivity to antibiotics.

Microorganisms isolated from the respiratory tract in patient with cystic fibrosis vary over the period of follow-up. Gram-negative bacteria, especially P. aeruginosa, are dominant but showed good sensitivity to antimicrobial agents and no multidrug-resistant strains were isolated.
Proportional feature pyramid network based on weight fusion for lane detection
Authors: Hui Jiapeng , Lian Guoyun , Wu Jiansheng , Ge Shuting , Yang Jinfeng
Published: January 2024

Lane detection under extreme conditions presents a highly challenging task that requires capturing each crucial pixel to predict the complex topology of lane lines and differentiate the various lane types. Existing methods predominantly rely on deep feature extraction networks with substantial parameters or the fusion of multiple prediction modules, resulting in large model sizes, embedding difficulties, and slow detection speeds. This article proposes a Proportional Feature Pyramid Network (P-FPN) through fusing the weights into the FPN for lane detection. For obtaining a more accurately detecting result, the cross refinement block is introduced in the P-FPN network. The cross refinement block takes the feature maps and anchors as inputs and gradually refines the anchors from high to low level feature maps. In our method, the high-level features are explored to predict lanes coarsely while local-detailed features are leveraged to improve localization accuracy. Extensive experiments on two widely used lane detection datasets, The Chinese Urban Scene Benchmark for Lane Detection (CULane) and the TuSimple Lane Detection Challenge (TuSimple) datasets, demonstrate that the proposed method achieves competitive results compared with several state-of-the-art approaches.
Do you even exercise, ref? Exploring habits of Spanish basketball referees during practice and matches
Authors: Suárez-Iglesias David , González-Devesa Daniel , Ayán Carlos , Sánchez-Sixto Alberto , Vaquera Alejandro
Published: January 2024

Background

Basketball referees are a vital part of the organised competition system, although they remain an “outgroup” in sport. While physical development and fitness programming are deemed necessary for basketball officiating excellence, there is a paucity of literature exploring strategies for physical fitness management in this population.

Methods

This research was a nationwide cross-sectional, self-administered online survey conducted in 2021. A sample of 628 (531 males, 97 females) referees from 18 regional referee organisations in Spain provided individual responses to gather information on demographic details, level of participation in refereeing, physical fitness practices, and match-day exercise-based regimens. The data were described using summary statistics, and the associations of the assessed variables were subsequently calculated using contingency tables.

Results

Our findings reveal that a large fraction of the Spanish basketball referee population focuses on aerobic (83%) and strength (73.6%) activities, while less attention is paid to speed (36.9%) and flexibility (23.2%), and agility, coordination, and balance tasks are somewhat overlooked. No significant differences were observed among the referee categories regarding weekly training days or session duration, with most training for 15–60 min per session. Elite referees were more likely to hire personal trainers and engage in strength and flexibility exercises. Sub-elite referees showed a higher tendency to perform stretching and joint mobility activities post-match, while regional referees did so less frequently. Approximately 30.7% of referees across all competitive levels engaged in re-warm-up (RW-U) activities, with stretching and joint mobility being the most prevalent.

Conclusions

Spanish basketball referees participate in routine physical exercise and fitness practices, irrespective of their competition level. While warm-up activities are prevalent, some sub-elite and regional referees do not consistently perform them, and re-warm-up routines are not extensively embraced.
¿Es o no es OPR? Precisando el concepto y el ámbito de aplicación de la regulación sobre operaciones con partes relacionadas
Authors: Lagos Villarreal Osvaldo
Published: January 2024

En algunas grandes operaciones en el mercado chileno, en las que se aprecia la existencia de una situación de conflicto de intereses para el controlador de una sociedad anónima abierta, se ha discutido si esa transacción es o no es operación con partes relacionadas. La respuesta no ha sido unánime, ni de parte del mercado, ni de parte de la academia, ni entre el regulador o la justicia, lo que puede atribuirse a ciertos problemas conceptuales. Este trabajo pretende contribuir a la seguridad jurídica para este tipo de transacciones, mediante la precisión del concepto de operación con partes relacionadas, del ámbito de su regulación y por medio del análisis de los criterios de interpretación utilizados en casos difíciles que han tenido lugar en Chile.
La ciudad de fragmentos industriales en la comuna de San Joaquín: una nueva propuesta urbana heterogénea y densificada con/en lo existente de la manzana
Authors:   , Iturrieta Lobos Danitza
Published: January 2024

El centro histórico y cívico de Santiago presenta una estructura urbana distintiva como ciudad fundacional, con una trama perfectamente trazada desde la cual se expandieron tejidos irregulares hacia el norte y sur de la Región Metropolitana, acompañando el crecimiento poblacional y el desarrollo urbano. A medida que surgían oportunidades industriales en las zonas peri centrales, estas se convirtieron en un elemento más de la ciudad fragmentada, pero que han quedado obsoletos con el paso del tiempo. En este sentido, la identidad urbana de Santiago puede describirse como una suma de fragmentos, es decir, paños definidos por sus usos y morfología, conformando lo que se podría llamar una "Ciudad Collage", según el concepto acuñado por Colin Rowe. En este contexto, esta investigación tiene como objetivo contextualizar y generar oportunidades de desarrollo urbano mediante el concepto de la Ciudad Collage, en un contexto post industrial y de regeneración urbana, enfocándose en el sector del Zanjón de la Aguada. Se busca problematizar el fragmento clave de la ciudad, definido como la macro manzana, a través de un análisis multiescalar y morfológico que cuestione las oportunidades y desafíos que esta ofrece. De esta manera, se busca desarrollar una nueva propuesta urbana mediante una estrategia unificadora y organizadora que dialogue con las distintas piezas de la macro manzana, permitiendo así, densificar y preservar la identidad de la Ciudad Fragmentada, como también, responder al discurso de las ciudades sostenibles, preservando construcciones que pueden ser mejoradas y no llegar al estado de eliminación. Esta investigación contribuye al campo del desarrollo urbano y la regeneración urbana al proponer estrategias concretas para abordar la complejidad de la estructura urbana fragmentada, promoviendo un enfoque de densificación que mantenga la identidad histórica y cultural de Santiago como una Ciudad Fragmentada en constante transformación a escala de manzana. Esta nueva estrategia tiene como objetivo crear un entorno urbano más cohesionado y en armonía con el contexto, utilizando la manzana como una unidad integral de intervención y revitalización, en la regeneración urbana, de las piezas industriales que ha dejado la desindustrialización.
Las diferencias en Impacto de los shocks de Incertidumbre sobre los ciclos económicos de Chile
Authors:   , Doren Urrutia Cristóbal Ignacio
Published: January 2024

El efecto individual de los distintos tipos de incertidumbre sobre el ciclo económico está ampliamente documentado, pero ¿existen diferencias en el impacto y transmisión de los distintos shocks de incertidumbre sobre los ciclos económicos de los países emergentes? Y si es así, ¿cuáles son los mecanismos subyacentes que explican estas diferencias? Para responder esta pregunta, se estudia los efectos de la incertidumbre macroeconómica y financiera en un mismo marco teórico. El artículo se divide en dos grandes pilares, la modelación empírica y teórica. El modelo empírico permite obtener dos hechos estilizados. Primero, los shocks de incertidumbre macroeconómica y financiera tienen un impacto significativamente igual sobre el sector real de la economía. Segundo, si hay diferencias en efecto sobre el sector financiero, que se pueden explicar por la elasticidad de la deuda y el proceso de volatilidad de la economía. Los resultados tienen implicancias políticas importantes, ya que es posible identificar los distintos shocks de incertidumbre y hacer políticas diferenciadas para cada uno. Esta política óptima dependerá de las características propias de cada país, que están determinadas por la elasticidad de deuda.
Indigenous property rights and land use: Evidence from Chile
Authors:   , Black Bozo Matías Paolo
Published: January 2024

Several governments have implemented policies aimed at securing traditional land access for indigenous communities. While such initiatives are often presented as mutually beneficial for climate policy and indigenous populations, indigenous groups may prioritize productive uses that do not align with climate mitigation goals. This thesis estimates the impacts of a policy that subsidizes plot purchases for Mapuche communities in Chile. Utilizing a staggered difference-in-difference specification, the analysis reveals an expansion of grasslands at the expense of forests on Mapuche plots. No discernible impacts are detected on productivity conditional on land use, suggesting that the shift from forests to grassland reflects preferences for traditional livestock raising rather than constraints on crop cultivation. These findings highlight that indigenous communities are likely to redirect the productive use of granted land toward their traditional practices.
Abuso de conciencia en la Iglesia Católica: Una aproximación fenomenológica a partir de testimonios chilenos
Authors:   , Salgado Aracena María Margarita
Published: January 2024

La crisis de los abusos en la Iglesia Católica ha dado origen a investigaciones en todo el mundo, con el objetivo de identificar la naturaleza y el alcance del daño, así como la existencia de factores que propician o perpetúan los abusos. De este modo, ha cobrado creciente interés en las comunidades católicas religiosas, sacerdotales y laicas, el concepto del abuso de conciencia (AC), que es un tipo de abuso que ha sido poco estudiado como fenómeno en sí mismo, no cuenta con una definición única, pero que dado el tipo de herramientas y mecanismos que ocupa para tomar control de la persona, es que requiere de una caracterización e investigación propia. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo caracterizar el fenómeno del AC en la Iglesia Católica chilena a partir de las voces de hombres y mujeres que declaran haberlo vivido en contexto de formación religiosa y/o sacerdotal. A partir de los testimonios recabados mediante metodología cualitativa y el uso de entrevistas semiestructuradas, es que fue posible dar cuenta de un amplio número de características, además del lugar que los sobrevivientes le otorgaron a la responsabilidad institucional en el AC, considerando que la fe cristiana se concibe indivisiblemente en comunidad. Se pudo observar que las consecuencias en los sobrevivientes abarcan múltiples ámbitos de la vida de la persona, desde el ámbito identitario, la salud física, mental, bienestar social, causando así un daño indeleble en la relación de la persona con Dios, la Iglesia y consigo misma.

Authors:   , Zapata Roco Kiara Scarlett
Published: January 2024

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar si la salud mental en niños y niñas entre 3 y 5 años en Chile, y sus cinco dimensiones, variaba según sexo de los niños y la cantidad de experiencias adversas en la infancia (ACE) en las madres. Basándose en la evaluación de la salud mental de acuerdo al puntaje global y el modelo de cinco factores de SDQ, se encontraron diferencias significativas en sexo de los niños, donde varones presentaban mayores puntajes en Hiperactividad, Problemas con Compañeros y puntaje Total. Con relación a la cantidad de ACEs maternos, se encontró que este tenía un efecto significativo solo en la Hiperactividad al controlar las variables contextuales, mientras que, al evaluar la interacción con el sexo del niño o niña, este no fue estadísticamente representativo. Finalmente, se discute sobre el porqué de estos resultados, las posibles razones de los mismos y el efecto de la sociabilización y los factores de riesgos contextuales. También se revisan las posibles limitaciones del estudio, así como posibles consideraciones para futuras investigaciones en la materia.

Biochemical parameters such as fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin and IR via the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) were determined. Statistical analysis was performed using International Business Machines (IBM) Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 26.0. The z-test of proportion was calculated and a Z-score calculator was used for p-value. Results: In the present study, out of 100 consecutive patients, 76 were males and 24 were females. The mean insulin level for HBV patients was found to be high, with values of 28.94±2.22 mU/L in 23.63% of cases, whereas in HCV cases, 68.8% of patients were found to have higher levels, with mean values of 34.52±9.00 mU/L. The mean HOMA-IR values for HBV patients were found to be high, at 4.84±2.32 in 47.27% of cases, whereas in HCV cases, 77.7% of patients were found to have higher values of HOMA-IR, with a mean of 7.94±4.83. Conclusion: Insulin resistance can be a consequence of the inability of insulin to induce the appropriate effect on glucose metabolism and is the principal indication for the development of metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus. In the current study, HCV-positive patients showed more IR compared to HBV-positive cases.

Authors: BONDAR Nataliia , BAKALINSKYI Oleksandr
Published: January 2024

Economic security is a prerequisite for the stable development of any country; it is partially reflected in GDP per capita, employment, and unemployment rates. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of investments for the development of infrastructure facilities on the basis of public-private partnership (PPP) on the economic security of a country. The analysis uses official data from the European Investment Bank and the Statistical Office of the European Union. The article concludes that there is a high correlation between accumulated investment in infrastructure and GDP per capita, employment, and unemployment. On this basis, it is reasonable to consider infrastructure development policy as important not only for national but also for economic security. Developing infrastructure facilities by attracting private investment can reduce pressure on national budgets and accelerate the implementation of capital-intensive projects.

Published: January 2024

This article aims to analyze the benefits of implementing Environmental Management Systems (EMS) in accordance with the ISO 14001:2015 standard in Polish manufacturing companies. The study focuses on identifying how the internal characteristics of a company, and its financial situation, influence the variety of benefits obtained from ISO 14001 implementation. The main goal is to understand the role of EMS in the context of the broadly defined Qstrategy of sustainable development (SD) of enterprises. Filling the research gap also involves determining the factors differentiating the scale of benefits, considering both the attributes of enterprises and the parameters of their financial situation. The research methodology uses primary data, collected through a questionnaire survey of enterprises, and secondary data, including financial information. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests are used to analyze and evaluate the differentiation of benefits. The results indicate significant differences in perceptions of the advantages of implementing ISO 14001, depending on factors such as the enterprise’s origin of capital, the geographical scope of its activity, and its financial condition. Among the most significant benefits mentioned are compliance with legal requirements, an improved company image, increased customer numbers, and growth in operational efficiency. The article contributes to the literature on environmental management, emphasizing the importance of diversification of a company’s internal and external factors in the context of the benefits arising from EMS. The implications of this study are significant, both for the theory of environmental management and for business practices; it offers insight into how companies can maximize the benefits of implementing the ISO 14001 standard.
MODERNIZATION OF THE FISCAL SYSTEM: SOME REMARKS ON THE INTRODUCTION OF CAPITAL AND WAR WEALTH LEVIES IN SELECTED COUNTRIES FROM WESTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPE
Authors: KĘDRZYŃSKI Adam
Published: January 2024

This article aims to show that extraordinary taxes, introduced after WWI, performed better in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries than in Western countries, even though they were originally a Western idea. The research reveals that these taxes generated some revenue, but their main function was to show that governments were trying to tackle the unfairness that had resulted from years of running a war economy. It is doubtful that these taxes are useful components of fiscal systems, as they are something of a paradox. They create more injustice (Adam Smith’s principles of taxation were partially broken when these taxes were applied), although they should theoretically reduce the inequalities caused by war.

WHERE ARE THE CHANGES IN EU CYBERSECURITY LEGISLATION LEADING?
Authors: OLEKSIEWICZ Izabela , CIVELEK Mustafa Emre
Published: January 2024

Cybersecurity policy is a response to the growing instability of the virtual world and the threats emanating from this area. This article tries to show how changes in legislative and strategic provisions can affect the EU’s cybersecurity policy. The analysis of the field of cybersecurity in the European Union, the subject of which is the union itself, allows the authors to demonstrate the existence of such a policy in the EU. The subject of the analysis is the phenomenon of cyberterrorism as a threat and its specificity as a form of violence. The article shows how policy and strategy are interrelated, paying particular attention to the security concept of the European Union. The starting point of the research is the analysis of issues related to the specific nature of EU cyberterrorism policy and the most important legal bases in this field, on which EU cybersecurity policy is built. The preliminary study defines the concepts of cyberterrorism, cybercrime, and cyberwar, showing their impacts on the national security policy of the information society and, thus, also on the cybersecurity policy of the EU.
EMPLOYEE CONTROL AND OCCUPATIONAL FRAUD IN REMOTE WORK
Authors: ŚMIAŁEK-LISZCZYŃSKA Paulina , WOJTKOWIAK Grzegorz
Published: January 2024

The main problem addressed in this article is the identification of occupational fraud risks in remote work, and their impact on control solutions implemented by managers. The article is based on desk research (including the analysis of available reports and their findings) and structured interviews with managers and experts. In addition to the systematization of occupational frauds during remote work, and methods of controlling fraud, the main result is the identification of key variables that managers should take into account when minimizing occupational fraud. These include the level (and form) of control, levels of job satisfaction and trust, and the skills of employees and managers. This project, therefore, also poses terminological challenges related to the definitions of occupational fraud and counter productive work behavior, and further identification of the phenomenon of fictitious human capital. These may be relevant from the perspective of further research on the problem of management and effectiveness of remote work.
