Social Factors and the Risk of Postpartum Depression during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review
Authors: Chen Haohui , Feng Bo , Guo Yuting , Luo Wei , Zhao Yuxin , Liao Shuying , Zhao Jitong
Published: October 2023

Background: To investigate the effects of social factors including social support and social restriction on postpartum depression (PPD) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We conducted a systematic review with PubMed and Web of Science from 1 January 2020 to 1 April 2023. Articles focusing on social factors and PPD during COVID-19 pandemic were investigated. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Scale were used to evaluate quality of literatures. Results: We included 31 articles (22 cross-sectional studies and 9 cohort studies) with good quality. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used as the preferred measure for defining PPD. Social support reduced the prevalence of developing PPD by 30%–40%. Social restriction increased the risk of PPD but there was lack of evidence or effective scales to define restriction. Conclusions: We found that social support acted as an important protective factor for PPD during the COVID-19 pandemic and that social restriction increased the risk of PPD. EPDS may be an optimal choice for researchers to define PPD. Obstetricians should underline social factors for both pregnancy women and their families. The study was registered on PROSPERO (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/), registration number: CRD42023434485.
The Identification of Relevant Factors for Breastfeeding Techniques in Postpartum Women Before Discharge in China: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Li Sen , Zhu Dan , Liu Guoli
Published: October 2023

Background: To assess breastfeeding techniques and identify the relevant factors among postpartum women in hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March, 2022 to April, 2022 at a general hospital in China. A total of 331 postpartum women were investigated using a questionnaire survey that included the LATCH (latch, audible swallowing, type of nipple, comfort, and hold) scoring system, a general information and behavior questionnaire, a breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire, and the Chinese version of the maternal breastfeeding evaluation scale. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify independent factors for in-hospital breastfeeding techniques. Results: The average score for breastfeeding techniques before discharge was 7.88. In the bivariate analysis, the factors found to be significantly associated with scores for breastfeeding technique were parity, number of births, participation in online antenatal classes during pregnancy, mastery of the hand expression technique, nipple cracking and satisfaction with breastfeeding (each p < 0.05). The result displayed parity, participation in online antenatal classes, and satisfaction with breastfeeding were included in a multiple linear regression model (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Although breastfeeding techniques prior to discharge are improving, more improvements can be made. Clinical medical staff should therefore pay particular attention to primiparas, postpartum women who did not participate in online antenatal courses during pregnancy, and postpartum women with a low satisfaction for breastfeeding. Measures that promote breastfeeding techniques, publicize online antenatal training courses, provide breastfeeding guidance shortly after delivery, and provide timely evaluation and targeted guidance should help to improve breastfeeding techniques before discharge and increase the exclusive breastfeeding rate.
Development And Environmental Values Conflict In The Context Of Environmental Impact And Assessment: The Case Of Malatya
Authors: SEZİK Murat
Published: October 2023

In the world, where the economic system has been constantly developing and changing from the İndustrial Revolution to today, the volume of production and consumption has increased with the increasing world population, and this has brought new burdens to the ecological system. The increase in the use of fossil fuels for energy needs with the Industrial Revolution, the increase in production on a global scale with the development of international trade, while increasing wealth on the one hand, resulted in an increase in environmental problems on the other. As a result of the thesis that the world states will develop with the motto of capitalism, "more production, more consumption", the ecological system has faced a burden that it cannot bear. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which was first introduced to the world within the scope of the National Environmental Policy Act, which came into force in the USA in 1970, on the necessity of ensuring development without damaging environmental values, is a process in which the significant effects of a certain project or development on the environment are determined. It was implemented as a process. This study aims to reveal how EIA applications are used as an effective mechanism in protecting environmental values in Turkey and in Malatya in particular, and to reveal their deficiencies. In the study, a qualitative method based on literature review and observation was used.
Meaning Modulations and Stability in Large Language Models: An Analysis of BERT Embeddings for Psycholinguistic Research
Authors: Cassani Giovanni , Bianchi Federico , Attanasio Giuseppe , Marelli Marco , Guenther Fritz
Published: October 2023

Computational models of semantic representations have long assumed and produced a single static representation for each word type, ignoring the influence of linguistic context on semantic representations. Recent Large Language Models (LLMs) introduced in Natural Language Processing, however, learn token-level contextualised representations, holding promise to study how semantic representations change in different contexts. In this study we probe type- and token-level representations learned using a prominent example of such models, Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), for their ability to i) explain semantic effects found for isolated words (semantic relatedness and similarity ratings, lexical decision, and semantic priming), but critically also to ii) exhibit systematic interactions between lexical semantics and context, and iii) explain meaning modulations in context. Across a wide range of empirical studies on each of these topics, we show that BERT representations satisfy two desiderata for psychologically valid semantic representations: i) they have a stable semantic core which allows people to interpret words in isolation and prevents words to be used arbitrarily and ii) they interact with sentence context in systematic ways, with representations shifting as a function of their semantic core and the context. This demonstrates that a single, comprehensive model which simultaneously learns abstract, type-level prototype representations as well as mechanisms of how these interact with context can explain both isolated word effects and context-dependent variations. Notably, these variations are not limited to discrete word senses, eschewing a strict dichotomy between exemplar and prototype models and re-framing traditional notions of polysemy in semantic memory.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: The burden of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) is high among dairy farmers, as they are involved in unacceptable working postures and movements. This study aims to assess the prevalence of WRMSDs and their associated factors among dairy farmers in Malur Milk Co-operative Society, Kolar District, Karnataka, India.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done from February 2022 to April 2022, among 150 dairy farmers aged 18 years and above. We collected socio-demographic, occupation, ergonomics and co-morbidities related details by administering a questionnaire. Assessment of musculoskeletal disorders was by Standardized Nordic Questionnaire and Mental health was assessed by Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9).
Results: The mean age was 40.96 13.49 years, and 66% of our study participants were males. The secondary occupation was agriculture(63%). Working hours per day was more than 8 hours in 19.3%. History of lifting heavy weights(78%), standing for long hours (56%) and sitting in squatting positions for long hours(66%) was present in this occupational group. The prevalence of WRMSDs was found to be 64.7%. The site of musculoskeletal disorders was found to be highest in the lower back (48.7%) and knees(45.3%). On multivariate analysis, belonging to the male gender [aOR = 0.33 (95%CI: 0.12-0.85)] and prolonged standing [aOR = 3.39 (95%CI: 1.46-7.89)] were the risk factors for WRMSDs.
Conclusion: The prevalence of WRMSD is significantly high among dairy farmers in rural areas, affecting the lower back and knees predominantly. Education on ergonomics, routine physical activity, and accessibility to social security schemes will improve the health status of this community.
STUDY OF PREPREGS LIFETIME BASED ON EPOXY RESIN WITH AROMATIC AMINE HARDENER
Authors: Baiserikov B.М.
Published: October 2023

Today, there is a steady trend in the use of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics in the aerospace and defense industries, mainly based on using pre-impregnated semi-finished products - prepregs. Producing carbon fiber parts from prepregs often requires a long manufacturing time, during which the prepreg must maintain its performance properties. Therefore, one of the main characteristics of prepreg is its viability. This work developed a suitable resin composition with optimized properties and a methodology for studying the viability of prepreg samples, based on determining the stickiness and degree of curing of the prepreg depending on storage time. The influence of prepreg storage time on the strength characteristics of cured laminates was studied. Prepreg samples with long-term viability of up to 60 days were obtained. The experimental data obtained are of practical significance in the industrial production of carbon fiber products, as they establish a connection between the performance properties of the prepreg and storage time.

Published: October 2023

Phytoplankton communities of Dibru Saikhowa Biosphere Reserve (DSBR) beels were studied from October 2013 to September 2015 in two floodplain lakes (beels), namely Maghuri beel and No.11 beel in Tinsukia district, upper Assam, Northeast India. Phytoplankton reveal a richness of (61 species) belonging to five groups: Chlorophyta (35 species) > Bacillariophyta (13 species) > Euglenophyta (7 species) > Cyanophyta (5 species) > Dinophyta (1). The monthly phytoplankton richness indicated 13–32 (25 ±6) species) and 21–39 (30 ±5) and with distinct species importance of Chlorophyta (5-17) 12 ±4 and (10-24) 15 ±3 species in Maghuri beel and No.11 beel respectively. Phytoplankton abundance ranged between 162 ±157 n/L and 138 ±39 n/L and comprised a sub-dominant component of net plankton, i.e., between 39.7 ±15.8% and 41.0 ±9.9% in Maghuri beel and No.11 beel respectively. Seventeen abiotic factors recorded relatively limited influence on the phytoplankton richness and abundance of the sampled bells. The canonical correspondence analysis asserted higher cumulative influence along the first two axes of 17 abiotic factors on phytoplankton assemblages of Maghuri beel (76.46%) than in No.11 beel (61.73%) beels.

Published: October 2023

The article describes selected issues concerning demoralization and punishable crimes referred to in the Act of 9 June 2022 on juvenile support and resocialization. In this new legal act, which came into force in September 2022, many significant issues have been stated, among others the minimum age of over 10 years old and the condition in the form of a stipulation „and are not of age” for individuals to whom provisions of law with regard to preventing demoralization are applied. The series of circumstances proclaiming juvenile demoralization has been amended and the list of offences defined as a punishable crime has been extended. Additionally, new regulations have been introduced to enable school principals and the police to take (under certain conditions) educational measures against juvenile offenders. The Act also contains modified definition of a punishable act. What has been added to the previously specified educational measures (to which, in turn, putting a minor in a regional juvenile education centre has been added) and the correctional measure is the medical measure. The subject of the article is an analysis of the current legal provisions regulating the matters of minors. The multidimensional nature of the issue determined the choice of research methods. The following methods were used: formal-dogmatic, historical-legal or comparative. At the same time, it should be emphasized that the material contains an analysis of the applicable legal act.
Konstytucyjne prawo do informacji publicznej jako element społeczeństwa obywatelskiego
Authors: Kazimierczuk Marcin
Published: October 2023

Current information on the activities of public administration bodies, central bodies, as well as bodies of local government units, including entities appointed by them, allows for effective control of their actions. Thanks to the information obtained in this way, it is possible to carry out inspections of these entities on many levels, not only by the authorities authorized in this respect, but perhaps above all by civil society, starting from the activity of individual citizens or groups of citizens, through more or less organized entities, i.e. associations, institutes and non-governmental organizations. The purpose of this article is to analyze the role of information about public authority in terms of the possibility of increasing social control and the use of the constitutional right to information in building a civil society. The principle of civil society should be considered as the foundation of social participation, which is to contribute in particular to the realization of the common good of all citizens. The author focuses on the analysis of normative solutions contained both in the Basic Law and in other legal acts. The paper uses the dogmatic method of analyzing legal acts. In addition, the literature on the subject and case law were used.
Glosa do wyroku Sądu Najwyższego z dnia 19 kwietnia 2021 roku (sygn. I CSK 40/21)
Authors: Fortuna Franciszek Ignacy
Published: October 2023

The presented gloss relates to the judgment of the Supreme Court of 19 April 2021, ref. I CSK 40/21. There are two main issues in the case. The first issue relates to the admissibility of the second instance court considering the establishment of facts of the court of the first instance as its own in the case of an allegation of an incorrect evaluation of the facts raised in an appeal. The second issue, on the other hand, relates to the admissibility of the fact that the creditor has filed a bankruptcy petition as an automatic fulfillment of the exoneration condition. Although on the first issue, one may agree with the position of the Supreme Court that such an action of the court is acceptable, on the second issue it is not necessarily so. Despite the inconsistent position of the judicature in this matter, an analysis of the binding regulations and the doctrine allows one to conclude that such an interpretation is incorrect. The burden is on the member of the company’s board to prove the existence of any of the exemption circumstances. Filing a petition for bankruptcy by anyone does not relieve him of this responsibility.

„Modernizacja” małżeństwa – ewolucja czy rewolucja?
Authors: Kryński Marcin Józef
Published: October 2023

The aim of the article is to analyze the transformation of marriage in the context of socio-cultural changes taking place at the beginning of the 21st century. Taking up this issue is important not only for cognitive reasons, but also for social ones. At present, in many cultural circles, the principle of Christian marital morality is presented in a distorting mirror. Many attempts are made to impose on whole communities and even entire societies a model that proclaims itself "progressive" and "modern". Formerly concealed violence, molestation, mental torment, and even infanticide are coming to light. Homosexual marriages, homo and heterosexual partnerships are introduced, patchwork families are popularized, and divorces and life without commitments are completely normalized. For this reason, every attempt to reflect and search for  “the right way" certainly brings us closer to finding the true essence and pattern of a harmonious and spiritual marriage created on the basis of a humanistic approach to human existence.

Authors: Parente Salvatore Antonello
Published: October 2023

La fiscalità indiretta del trust è caratterizzata da un quadro normativo scarno, approssimativo ed infelice, fonte di non pochi contrasti e incertezze sul piano ermeneutico: a fronte del tendenziale immobilismo dell’amministrazione finanziaria, si è assistito, negli anni, ad un dinamismo diacronico della giurisprudenza. La parte prima del saggio analizza le problematiche sottese alla tassazione indiretta del trust, alla luce della diacronia delle fonti e delle posizioni inizialmente assunte dalla prassi amministrativa e dalla giurisprudenza di merito e di legittimità.

Syntactic Production Ability of the Elderly According to Utterance and Sentence Analysis Criteria
Authors:   Korea Gerontological Society, Kim Young Man , Yoon Ji Hye , Shin Joon Soo , Kim Hyo Jeong
Published: October 2023

The important thing to consider when analyzing the performance of syntactic production is to set the basic criteria for analysis. Generally, ‘utterance’ that include incomplete clauses and ‘sentence’ that necessarily include complete clauses can be used as a basic criterion for analysis. Since utterances and sentences have different structural requirements, the results may differ depending on the basic criteria of analysis. The aim of the study is to confirm the differences in various analysis indicators according to the uttrance and sentence analysis criteria. To investigate syntactic characteristics according to age, 54 young people (27.31 ± 4.72), 48 middle-aged people (49.93 ± 5.80), and 40 old people (69.02 ± 5.44) participated. In the utterance analysis criteria, OA had fewer syllables, postpositional particles, endings, and grammatical morphemes than the YA. OA produced fewer mean length of utterance-word and the number of object case markers than the YA and MA. In the sentence analysis criteria, there was no difference in the number of syllables, postpositional particles, endings, and grammatical morphemes among the groups. These results suggest the applicability and basis of the sentence analysis criteria for investigating grammatical knowledge during syntax analysis.
The Effect of the Residential Environment of the Elderly on Aging in Place: Focusing on Comparison of Regions
Authors:   Korea Gerontological Society, Go Eunah
Published: October 2023

This study aims to investigate the influence of the residential environment on Aging in Place for the elderly. It also acknowledges that the effects of residential environment factors on Aging in Place might vary due to regional differences between urban and rural areas. Consequently, the study seeks to establish an empirical approach considering regional characteristics, assessing whether the residential environment in each area supports elderly individuals in maintaining their community living. The analysis utilized data from the 2020 Elderly Survey, encompassing 8,878 participants, including 6,541 elderly residents from urban settings and 2,337 from rural areas. Results indicated that rural seniors exhibited a stronger preference for Aging in Place, with 65.3% compared to 61.7% among urban counterparts, highlighting their inclination towards remaining within their local community. Urban areas indicated higher satisfaction with the physical environment, while rural areas showed greater contentment with the social environment, particularly community relationships. Binary logistic regression analysis demonstrated that urban elderly individuals were more likely to opt for Aging in Place when they reported higher housing satisfaction, better accessibility to the external environment, and limited opportunities for social interaction with neighbors. In rural areas, a higher likelihood of choosing community-based living was observed when housing satisfaction, active participation in social activities, and community relationship satisfaction were greater. In light of these findings, it is advisable to develop policies aligned with the unique characteristics of urban and rural contexts, aiming to facilitate Aging in Place among the elderly population.
The Effect of Socioeconomic Status on Mandatory Retirement Age System
Authors:   Korea Gerontological Society, Hyeon Ockju
Published: October 2023

The main purpose of this study is to provide an empirical analysis of the specific social classes affected by the mandatory retirement age system while the retirement age extension policy is actively being discussed. The analytical model was divided into two main categories. The first model analyzed socioeconomic status, which is determined by a combination of income, assets, educational level, occupational status, and housing type. The second model analyzed the impact of each socioeconomic status component on whether individuals are retired by the mandatory retirement age or not. To this end, this study was carried out on the using data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA), specifically from the 1st(2006) to 8th(2020) survey and using an independent T-test, Chi-squared test, and logistic regression analysis. The main findings of this study are as follows. First, individuals with higher socioeconomic status were more likely to retire under the mandatory retirement age system than those with lower socioeconomic status. Secondly, as a result of isolating the socioeconomic status components, it was found that individuals with higher income, greater assets, and more consistent work schedules have a greater likelihood of retiring under the mandatory retirement age system. The suggestions of this study, based on the analysis results, are as follows. First, it is suggested that the mandatory retirement age system be based on industry or occupation. Secondly, it is recommended to gradually implement efforts aimed at ensuring a guaranteed retirement age system for non-standard workers. Finally, it is suggested to introduce sickness benefits or a family care system in order to deter early retirement.

Introduction: This paper presents a method for improving the accuracy of a GPS/INS integrated navigation system. Estimating the yaw angle, which is the degree of deviation from the north, is a crucial aspect in the navigation and control of autonomous robots. Methods: We can use an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to calculate the yaw angle, but the accuracy is heavily reliant on the Earth's magnetic field. This field can vary in value as the vehicle moves and is easily disturbed by external sources such as electrical devices and motors. To circumvent these limitations, a dual-antenna GPS with the real-time kinematic (RTK) method is utilized to improve the quality of the yaw angle estimation. Results: This approach eliminates the use of magnetometers, and the experimental results show that the error can be significantly reduced to 0.16 degrees with a baseline of 1 meter. Conclusion: When compared to the standard GPS/INS system, the proposed method using GPS-RTK provides better accuracy, even when the GPS signal is lost.

A study accordingly was conducted to find out employers’ and learners’ feedback to the Library and Information Science training program, Faculty of Library and Information Science, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City. The study employs a survey research method through the use of questionnaires for 38 fourth-year Library and Information Science students, combined with the results from questionnaires and group interviews with 15 employers who are working in libraries and information centres in Ho Chi Minh City. Research results show that there is a consensus among employers and students on the training program. They provided positive feedback on the program. The study also found differences in opinions between employers and students. Despite positive feedback, changes to the curriculum objectives, learning outcomes, curriculum framework, and subject content still need to be made to ensure the practicality of the program. The study also helps to draw some experiences for future surveys.

During the period from the 17th century to the first half of the 19th century, Vietnam and Western countries exchanged knowledge and interacted with each other in many different fields, which is considered the first Western and Oriental cultural exchanges by scholars. These cultural exchanges with Western intellectuals facilitated easy entry of scientific and technological Western knowledge into Vietnam. In fact, Vietnamese feudal intellectual class gained easy access to scientific and technological Western knowledge. What were the attitude and actions of Vietnamese feudal intellectual class towards scientific and technological Western knowledge? What did the consequences result from their perceptions and actions towards scientific and technological Western knowledge? Through the answers to these questions, by historical and logical methods and the method of collecting, comparing the writings of the Vietnamese feudal intellectual class on Western, the article contributes another perspective to learn about the attitudes of the Vietnamese scholar class towards the Western science and technology. Therefore, finding out about this point will help us understand and clarify many issues in a more evident way, including the question why Vietnam couldn’t acculturate and gain ownership of Western knowledge in a successive way in order to develop and protect the country, thus, suffering from severe consequences.

Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome can be severe and life-threatening especially in critical care setting if not diagnosed and treated in time. DRESS syndrome is an idiosyncratic drug reaction characterized by rash, fever, eosinophilia, lymphadenopathy and internal organ. Regis CAR (European Registry of Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reaction) scoring system is used for its diagnosis. Diagnosis of this syndrome can be challenging in critical care setting due to nonspecific clinical features, multiple confounding factors, use of polypharmacy, and its resemblance with sepsis and septic shock of varied etiologies.
 We report a case of 15-year-old boy who developed this syndrome after starting sulfasalazine, HCQ and NSAIDS all together, one month back for treatment of ankylosing spondylitis.  This case report focuses on early suspicion and identification of this syndrome in critical care setting. This in turn should help in effective treatment of the illness by stopping offending drugs and timely initiation of steroid therapy. Further it may help in judicious use of antibiotics by holding irrational use of these drugs.

The development of a hierarchical step-by-step procedure for forecasting potential faults of a technical system based on fuzzy graphs and fuzzy cognitive maps is considered. Mathematically, this is based on the notion of a fuzzy binary preference relation. A fuzzy binary relation is always built on some set of objects. Since there are connections between objects and the consideration is conducted essentially at the level of a fuzzy graph, the connections between objects are described by the degree of affiliation and interpreted as «fault of object oi generates fault of object oj ». Next, it is necessary to allocate a hierarchy on this fuzzy graph, which will allow you to determine all possible scenarios for the occurrence of faults and the sequence of diagnostic measures. All problems of fault detection and localization, fault tolerance can be solved at the level of a fuzzy undirected graph, but obtaining an oriented graph additionally provides a fundamental opportunity for causal analysis of the occurrence and spread of faults in a technical system, their ranking by degree of importance, the influence of control actions on the behavior of the system.

This article discusses various approaches to understanding and predicting the risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with acute myocardial infarction. These approaches include evidence-based medicine, which involves using the best available scientific evidence to inform clinical decision-making in the context of arrhythmogenic mechanisms such as VT; data-driven models, including artificial intelligence techniques such as machine learning and deep learning, which identify relationships in data and make predictions; and patientcentered modeling, which involves creating a patient-specific heart model based on multiple sources The texts also discuss the use of ablation to reduce VT and the potential of digital twins, which are virtual patient models that combine clinical data with mechanistic and data-driven models to improve personalized diagnosis, disease prediction, treatment planning, and prevention recommendations.
Entre el miedo y la religión. Análisis histórico de las tensiones biopolíticas y bioeconómicas en el meta
Authors: Quintana-Arias Ronald Fernando
Published: October 2023

Con el objetivo de entender qué tensiones biopolíticas y bioeconómicas han caracterizado al departamento del Meta (Colombia), se efectuaron 87 entrevistas a líderes sociales entre el 2019-2021 que permitieron realizar un análisis histórico de procesos de activa conexión cultural asociados al desarrollo territorial en el departamento del Meta. Los resultados exponen como eje fundamental a la teoría de la conspiración y la religión como trampa, la primera se fundamenta en el análisis de estrategias de potencias económicas bajo técnicas de control de pensamiento, mientras que la segunda ha sido una estrategia publicitaria para la sacralización y demonización, que ha influido a través de memorias colectivas que no distinguen entre un pasado monumental y una ficción mística. Se concluye que la relación religiosa-política, así como la conspiración efectúan un biopoder que moldea costumbres y normas, restringiendo o difundiendo información que han llevado al territorio a su destrucción a través de la bioprospección, la biopiratería, y el bionegocio.

Authors: Núñez Paula Gabriela , Núñez Cecilia Inés
Published: October 2023

Este artículo revisa sentidos inmateriales generados desde la Administración de Parques Nacionales con relación a la ganadería que se desarrolla en el Parque Nacional Lago Puelo. Tomamos este Parque Nacional, por su cercanía a áreas de producción agropecuaria y por la profundidad identitaria que la ganadería tiene en la población local. Buscamos observar cómo, desde una dependencia cuyo objetivo en la conservación ambiental, se configuran territorios e inciden en la valoración de actividades ganaderas en zonas de montaña. En el análisis atenderemos a las diferentes metáforas con las que ha sido caracterizada la naturaleza patagónica.
La omisión de consulta indígena en los procesos constituyentes en Chile. 2019 – 2023
Authors: Barrientos Saldía Álvaro
Published: October 2023

Con ocasión de los movimientos sociales ocurridos en Chile durante el año 2019 y que evidenciaron una oposición al sistema político actual y, por tanto, hacia la legitimidad de la Constitución Política de la República del año 1980, permitió establecer procesos en pos de la redacción de una nueva Carta Fundamental. En tal contexto, con fecha 24 de diciembre de 2019 se publicó la Ley N°21.200 la cual modifico la Constitución Política y estableció un mecanismo concreto para la elaboración de una propuesta a un nuevo texto Constitucional. Una vez concluido el proceso y efectuado el referéndum de salida, este obtuvo como resultado un rechazo a su texto, lo que conllevo a que ahora con fecha 17 de enero de 2023 se publicara la Ley Nro. 21.533 y que estableció y sumo un nuevo proceso para la redacción de una nueva Constitución. Es en estos escenarios, que el presente ensayo busca visibilizar la participación de los Pueblos Indígenas y desde ahí, indagar si desde el Estado se cumplieron con las obligaciones hacia el reconocimiento de sus derechos, en especial acerca su derecho a Consulta, deber que contrajo al ratificar el Convenio OIT 169.
A hipervulnerabilidade das biostartups e o impacto do marco legal das startups na eficácia dos direitos fundamentais

Este artigo tem como objetivo principal examinar o impacto do novo Marco Legal das Startups na garantia dos direitos fundamentais. E, busca-se secundariamente avaliar a integração do empreendedorismo nas startups de Biotecnologia em nosso ordenamento jurídico, já que de acordo com Ries (2012) esta modalidade de empreender é um tipo de administração que traz o debate sobre a eficácia vertical, horizontal e transversal nas biostartups. Justifica-se este estudo pela vulnerabilidade desse tipo específico de empresa. A metodologia de pesquisa foi exploratória e descritiva, sendo desenvolvida de forma qualitativa, com a utilização de fontes secundárias. Os resultados mostraram que a legislação, apesar de ter avançado, o que certamente terá reflexos positivos no desenvolvimento da inovação no contexto nacional, ainda assim poderia ser aperfeiçoada, ao que se sugere o reconhecimento da hipervulnerabilidade das biostartups, a fim de garantir uma maior segurança jurídica, condição essa que contribuiria para o seu melhor amadurecimento.
