Published: July 2024

Este artículo describe el potencial fitorremediador de tres plantas acuáticas: Azolla spp, Lemna minor (lenteja de agua) y Eichhornia crassipes (jacinto de agua) en ambientes contaminados. Azolla spp, también conocida como helecho de agua, fija nitrógeno atmosférico con la cianobacteria Anabaena, lo que la convierte en un excelente biofertilizante. Es eficaz en eliminar metales pesados como cadmio y plomo y en absorber nutrientes como nitrógeno y fósforo, reduciendo la eutrofización. Su alta productividad de biomasa permite su uso como suplemento nutricional y biocombustible. Lemna minor, una planta flotante de rápido crecimiento y alta producción de biomasa, es eficaz en absorber nutrientes y metales pesados, lo que la hace adecuada para limpiar aguas residuales. Su adaptabilidad y bajo costo operativo la convierten en una opción económica para proyectos de fitorremediación. Eichhornia crassipes, a pesar de ser invasiva, es eficiente en eliminar metales pesados y otros contaminantes, y en absorber nutrientes. Su biomasa se puede usar para producir biogás y compost. En resumen, Azolla, Lemna minor y Eichhornia crassipes tienen un notable potencial fitorremediador, cada una con características únicas adecuadas para diferentes aplicaciones y contextos ambientales, dependiendo de las necesidades específicas del ambiente contaminado.
El debate de la eutanasia y el derecho a la muerte digna en el ecuador
Authors: Rogel Merino Jennifer Enidt , Calderón Valarezo Melanny Valeria , Duran Ocampo Armando Rogelio
Published: July 2024

La eutanasia es la máxima expresión del derecho a morir en dignidad. Habiéndose recientemente declarado la inconstitucionalidad condicionada del artículo 144 del COIP, se plantea el análisis del estado jurídico del derecho a la muerte digna en el Ecuador dentro del precedente constitucional y la normativa interna. El presente trabajo plantea una metodología documental de carácter cualitativo, que permitió concluir que la CCE no reconoce expresamente dicho derecho en la sentencia N° 67-23-IN/24, ni en la sentencia N° 34-19-IN/21, pero sí se reconocen otras formas de ejercerlo como la eutanasia pasiva y los cuidados paliativos.

Authors: Zulkifli Intan Asila , Agus Salim Nuzaihan Aras
Published: July 2024

A university’s main function is to produce quality graduates, and in doing so, university buildings do play significant roles and are vital assets and resources. Hence, to prolong a university building lifecycle to ensure all university activities to continue performing at an optimum level, building maintenance management is central. Even though several previous studies have been conducted in this area, university buildings maintenance is still viewed as insignificant. The research about utilization of infrared thermography in term of maintenance in public universities is still lacking. The objective of this research to provide recommendations for area within the public universities that can benefit from the application of infrared thermography to enhance maintenance. The research method used in this research is a qualitative method. Three public universities that was established for more than 50 years were chosen as case studies. The data was collected through narrative review and the data was then analysed. The findings highlight the benefits of implementing infrared thermography in older building maintenance within public universities, particularly in improving energy efficiency and identifying hidden issues such as moisture intrusion and structural defects. The study emphasizes the importance of timely maintenance actions based on infrared thermography assessments to reduce energy consumption and apply predictive maintenance strategies. By conducting in-depth analyses at three established public universities in Malaysia, the researchers demonstrate the effectiveness of infrared thermography in enhancing maintenance practices and prolonging the lifecycle of university buildings.
‘A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AFRICA’S LABOUR EXPERIENCE WITH GULF REGION STATES: ARE WE STILL SLAVES? THE KENYA CASE’
Authors: Wanjohi Kinyua - , Mulinge Gertrude Wayua
Published: July 2024

African countries account for a greater percentage of domestic workers who migrate to the Middle East in search of greener economic pastures. Interestingly, Human Rights Watch (HRW) recently observed that most of the unskilled workers are often exploited and abused. This is reflected in wages deduction, violation of contractual agreements and degrading treatments. Women labourers also report sexual assault. In worst cases, the workers are ferried back in caskets to their countries of origin. Some workers have also been reported to disappear ‘miraculously’, in the said countries. This paper suggests that someone must be held accountable. Ironically, the government of Kenya has been playing the ‘innocent lamb’ role while the Middle East countries play Pharaoh’s role and walks scot free. Victims have always been vulnerably left at the middle. Through pressure exerted by local and international civil societies, Kenya in June 2012 banned emigration of domestic worker to Middle East. Nonetheless, in November 2013 this policy ban was lifted. In 2014, the government revoked some 930 licenses of recruiting agencies. Though a move towards the right direction, significantly, domestic abuse has remained unshaken. The International Labour Organisation Declarations on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work adopted in 1998 provides a positive duty for all member states to respect and promote worker’s rights in respect of employment. Yet, in implementation we limp. In Kenya for instance, the Employment Act of 2007 does not provide for mechanisms to compensate migrants who suffer from abuse in their host countries. In short, nationally and internationally, we lack a legal framework to protect migrant workers. It is time to take the bull by its horns through signing bilateral agreements on migrant workers. Suffice to say that, in absence of bilateral agreements with host states, African workers shall remain slaves of their ‘godfathers’. The time is ripe for us to revise and supplement our national as well as international labour laws to protect migrant workers. With the outrageous human rights violation on African migrant workers, who do we blame?

Background
Studies that have investigated the impact of apologies and admission of responsibility for medical errors have been mostly observational, which makes it hard to attach a causal effect to admission of responsibility and apologies. Secondly, the vast majority of research on the settlement of medical malpractice cases has been conducted in the US, that has its own, particular litigation laws and culture. In this multi-jurisdictional study, we investigate the impact of apology and admission of responsibility on preferred resolution and compensation of medical malpractice claims.
Methods
Employing a vignette design, we examine, among a sample of 327 respondents from different countries, whether admission and apology by the doctor impacts respondents' preference for resolution through a civil court case, mediation or a disciplinary board, as well as preferred damages for pain and suffering.
Results
Admission and apology by the physician in the vignette did not impact respondents' preference for settlement through a civil court case or mediation, nor did it impact the amount that respondents found suitable as compensation for pains and damages. Thematic analysis of open answers reveals that the impact of admission and apology is different for the three resolution modes, and often contextual and conditional.
Conclusion
Future (vignette) studies should investigate whether different cases of medical malpractice yield similar results, and whether more knowledgeable or experienced respondents (such as lawyers) would have different preferences and arguments.
RUSSIA AND THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT: FROM A BIFURCATING UNDERSTANDING TO THE UNLAWFULNESS OF THE ‘SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION’ AGAINST UKRAINE
Authors: Zannarini Enrico
Published: July 2024

The Responsibility to Protect doctrine has been invoked by the Russian Federation in order to justify its ‘special military operation’ against Ukraine. As a matter of fact, if certain criteria are met, the Responsibility to Protect allows the use of force for humanitarian purposes in a third State in a manner consistent with the international legal framework. This paper aims at analysing Russia’s contradictory approach related to this doctrine as well as the illegality of its forcible intervention under international law, included within the R2P framework.
PUNISHMENT TELEOLOGY IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE: INSIGHTS FROM THE ICC'S JURISPRUDENCE
Authors: Mazurek Maria
Published: July 2024

The following study explores the issue of rationales for international criminal punishment by studying the treatment this question has received in the jurisprudence of the International Criminal Court. The aim is to help construct a normative, theoretical foundation for the practice of international criminal tribunals. First, it looks into all seven ICC sentencing judgements to deconstruct the parts in which the judges discuss why the court punishes. Upon a comparative analysis of the teleological pronouncements, the paper identifies three patterns in the ICC’s teleological discourse. These include: the court’s unfounded import of domestic punishment rationales, fusion of different objectives and rhetorical, performative language used to justify punishment. Building on these findings and literature on the expressivism of punishment, I put forward the claim that the ICC judges’ discourse on penal rationales reveals an expressive function of punishment at play. Finally, the paper discusses how the ICC uses this expressivist practice in its jurisprudence to build a narrative of legalism and situate itself in the wider project of international justice. By implication, this legalism narrative is then seen as the court’s tool in fighting against its legitimacy crisis.

Authors: CHERNIAVSKA Iryna , SKRYPNYK Lubov
Published: July 2024

The extremely difficult and challenging conditions that have prevailed over the past three years as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and then Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine have negatively affected the state of higher education in Ukraine and caused significant educational losses for both secondary school and higher education students. As for the educational losses of medical students, they are significant and may lead to a loss of patient confidence in young doctors in the future and thus negatively affect the quality of future medical care. The article analyzes the results of a survey conducted among students of the 4th, 5th, 6th courses and interns of the 1st year of internship at the IFNMU and reveals that the most significant problem of educational losses during the three years of study in difficult conditions was the lack of opportunities to form clinical thinking, gain experience and skills at the patient’s bedside, and teamwork skills. Despite all the difficulties, it is necessary and possible to minimize and compensate for educational losses and provide quality conditions for medical students to gain proper knowledge and practical experience with patients.

Este estudo visou analisar a trajetória orçamentária do Fundo de Amparo ao Trabalha¬dor (FAT), contrastando indicadores contábeis com fatores políticos e econômicos que possam ter condicionado seu planejamento operacional. A análise dos dados permitiu corroborar a hipótese de que a evolução tanto das receitas quanto das despesas correntes, além de estarem diretamente relacionadas às transformações em curso nas estruturas macroeconômica e ocupacional brasileira, mostraram-se sujeitas a fatores externos à sua governança que interferem na dinâmica operacional do fundo. Tais fatores estão associados principalmente a decisões de política fiscal que incidiram sobre a estrutura de financiamento do FAT, causando perdas significativas de receitas e comprometendo as disponibilidades financeiras para suprir suas demandas programáticas de proteção social.

A reforma da previdência de 2019 foi a mais ampla reformulação do sistema previdenciário brasileiro desde a promulgação da Constituição Federal de 1988 – CF/1988 (Brasil, 1988). Em que pesem importantes mudanças, como o fim gradual da aposentadoria por tempo de contribuição no âmbito do Regime Geral de Previdência Social do Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (RGPS/INSS) e outras importantes alterações, certamente ainda permanecem desafios e problemas para o futuro da previdência no Brasil. Um aspecto que precisa ser debatido com profundidade é o financiamento da previdência social, tendo-se em vista o processo de rápido e intenso envelhecimento populacional, o baixo crescimento econômico que tem caracterizado a economia brasileira desde a década de 1980, a expansão do microempreendedor individual (MEI) e dos trabalhadores de plataformas digitais, bem como iniciativas recorrentes de desoneração da folha, entre outros aspectos relevantes. Este estudo pretende fazer considerações acerca do financiamento da previdência social e uma análise sobre os padrões internacionais vigentes em países das Américas e da Europa, além de referências ao caso brasileiro.

Cardboard packaging companies are companies thatproduces various types of packaging products including Master Boxes, Archive Boxes, Mosnon Boxes, Small Cartons, Big Cartons). Cardboard packaging companies have not implemented good inventory management when purchasing E-Flute raw materials, soInventory control in these companies often experiences problemsnamely ordering and using inappropriate raw materials, sometimes in excess and sometimes in shortage. Optimum material requirements planning is carried out using the Material Requirement Planning (MRP) method. This method begins by forecasting the number of requests for the future. This forecasting is carried out using the Moving Average, Exponential methodSmootingand Linear Regression. After knowing the price of raw materials, data on material requirements, and costs for inventory and material storage, then a comparison of inventory planning costs is carried out using the Lot For Lot (LFL) method.AndEconomic Order Quantity (EOQ). From the calculation results of the two methods, the method that produces the minimum inventory costs is selected. The Lot For Lot (LFL) technique produces the lowest total inventory costs, namely Rp4.800.000,-
Analyses of Johannes Kepler’s Sunspot Drawings in 1607: A Revised Scenario for the Solar Cycles in the Early 17th Century
Authors: Hayakawa Hisashi , Murata Koji , Teague E. Thomas H. , Bechet Sabrina , Sôma Mitsuru
Published: July 2024

Telescopic sunspot observations began in 1610 and captured subsequent solar cycles. In combination with proxy reconstructions on an annual scale, these data sets indicate a gradual transition between regular solar cycles and the Maunder Minimum. The telescopic sunspot observations missed the beginning of the first telescopic solar cycle (Solar Cycle −13), leaving room for considerable uncertainty as to its temporal evolution. Before these early telescopic observations, however, Kepler made solar observations using camerae obscurae and recorded a sunspot group in three solar drawings in 1607. Here, we make use of Kepler’s sunspot drawings and descriptive texts to identify his observational sites and time stamps. We have deprojected his sunspot drawings and compared the reported positions with our calculations of the inclination of the solar equator as seen from these sites at that time. These results locate the reported sunspot group near the solar equator eastward from the central meridian. This contrasts with telescopic sunspot drawings from the 1610s that show sunspot groups in the higher heliographic latitudes. Therefore, what Kepler saw was probably a sunspot group from Solar Cycle −14, rather than one from Solar Cycle −13. These records allow us to place the beginning of Solar Cycle −13 between 1607 and 1610. In comparison with the 14C-based solar-cycle reconstructions, our result supports regular solar-cycle durations around the 1610s, rather than any suggested extreme extensions of the solar-cycle duration(s) around the 1610s.
Regulatory role of FOXQ1 gene and its target genes in colorectal cancer
Authors: Zou Yuxiang , Qi Jialong , Tang Hui
Published: July 2024

Forkhead box Q1 (FOXQ1) is a nuclear transcription factor that controls the transcriptional activity of downstream genes to exert biological effects. Since its regulatory role in colorectal cancer (CRC) is unknown, we correlated RNA-seq and ATAC-seq sequencing data from the Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA), the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and other databases with FOXQ1 knockdown data from our group and normal DLD1-CRC cell lines. First, we analyzed FOXQ1 gene expression across multiple databases and datasets and found significant differences in FOXQ1 gene expression in most tumors. In addition, we performed an extension analysis of the FOXQ1 gene at different levels and found a close relationship between the FOXQ1 gene and immunity. Then, based on the FOXQ1 gene, we collected its target genes and obtained a total of 107 genes that met the regulatory trend. After a series of target gene analyses, we obtained three key genes (SERPINA1, MYL9, and CFTR). Moreover, an enrichment analysis, an independent prognostic analysis, and an immune-related analysis were performed around FOXQ1 and its target genes. After knocking down FOXQ1 protein in SW480 cells, the SERPINA1 and MYL9 proteins were significantly altered, though the CFTR protein was not significantly changed. These results provide bioinformatics data that support studying and exploring the FOXQ1 gene and its target genes in CRC.
Natural convection flow and heat transfer of generalized Maxwell fluid with distributed order time fractional derivatives embedded in the porous medium
Authors: Zhao Jinhu
Published: July 2024

Numerical simulation was performed for unsteady natural convection flow and heat transfer in a porous medium using the generalized Maxwell model and fractional Darcy's law with distributed order time fractional derivatives. The finite volume method combined with the fractional L1 scheme was used to solve strongly coupled governing equations with nonlinear fractional convection terms. Numerical solutions were validated via grid independence tests and comparisons with special exact solutions. The effects of porosity, Darcy number, and relaxation time parameters on transport fields are presented. The results illustrate that porosity and permeability have opposite influences on temperature and velocity profiles. Moreover, the relaxation time parameters have remarkable effects on velocity profiles, and the variations possess significant differences.
Searching for Approval

Published: July 2024

This paper theoretically and empirically studies the interaction of search and application approval in credit markets. Risky borrowers internalize the probability that their application is rejected and behave as if they had high search costs. Thus, “overpayment” may be a poor proxy for consumer sophistication since it partly represents rational search in response to rejections. Contrary to standard search models, our model implies (1) endogenous adverse selection through the search and application approval process, (2) a possibly non‐monotone or non‐decreasing relationship between search and realized interest, default, and application approval rates, and (3) search costs estimated from transaction prices alone are biased. We find support for the model's predictions using a unique data set detailing search behavior of mortgage borrowers. Estimating the model, we find that screening is informative and search is costly. Counterfactual analyses reveal that tightening lending standards and discrimination through application rejection both increase equilibrium interest rates. This increase in realized interest rates is in part due to strategic complementarity in bank rate setting.
Monotone Additive Statistics

Published: July 2024

The expectation is an example of a descriptive statistic that is monotone with respect to stochastic dominance, and additive for sums of independent random variables. We provide a complete characterization of such statistics, and explore a number of applications to models of individual and group decision‐making. These include a representation of stationary monotone time preferences, extending the work of Fishburn and Rubinstein (1982) to time lotteries. This extension offers a new perspective on risk attitudes toward time, as well as on the aggregation of multiple discount factors. We also offer a novel class of non‐expected utility preferences over gambles which satisfy invariance to background risk as well as betweenness, but are versatile enough to capture mixed risk attitudes.
The Unequal Effects of Pollution on Labor Supply
Authors: Hoffmann Bridget , Rud Juan Pablo
Published: July 2024

We use high‐frequency data on fine particulate matter air pollution (PM 2.5) at the locality level to study the effects of high pollution on daily labor supply decisions in the metropolitan area of Mexico City. We document a negative, non‐linear relationship between PM 2.5 and same‐day labor supply, with strong effects on days with extremely high pollution levels. On these days, the average worker experiences a reduction of around 7.5% of working hours. Workers partially compensate for lost hours by increasing their labor supply on days that follow high‐pollution days. We find that low‐income workers reduce their labor supply significantly less than high‐income workers. Unequal responses to high pollution along other dimensions (job quality, flexibility, gender) matter, but less than income. We provide suggestive evidence that reductions in labor supply due to high pollution are consistent with avoidance behavior.
Sequentially Stable Outcomes
Authors: Dilmé Francesc
Published: July 2024

This paper introduces and analyzes
sequentially stable outcomes in extensive‐form games. An outcome
ω is sequentially stable if, for any
ε > 0 and any small enough perturbation of the players' behavior, there is an
ε‐perturbation of the players' payoffs and a corresponding equilibrium with outcome close to
ω. Sequentially stable outcomes exist for all finite games and are outcomes of sequential equilibria. They are closely related to stable sets of equilibria and satisfy versions of forward induction, iterated strict equilibrium dominance, and invariance to simultaneous moves. In signaling games, sequentially stable outcomes pass the standard selection criteria, and when payoffs are generic, they coincide with outcomes of stable sets of equilibria.
Dynamic information preference and communication with diminishing sensitivity over news
Authors: Duraj Jetlir , He Kevin
Published: July 2024

A Bayesian agent experiences gain–loss utility each period over changes in belief about future consumption (news utility) with diminishing sensitivity over the magnitude of news. Diminishing sensitivity induces a preference over news skewness: gradual bad news, one‐shot good news is worse than one‐shot resolution, which is in turn worse than gradual good news, one‐shot bad news. So the agent's preference between gradual information and one‐shot resolution can depend on his consumption ranking of different states. In a dynamic cheap‐talk framework where a benevolent sender communicates the state over multiple periods, the babbling equilibrium is essentially unique when the receiver is not loss averse. Contrary to the commitment case, more loss‐averse receivers may enjoy higher news utility in equilibrium. We characterize the family of gradual good‐news equilibria when facing such receivers and find that the sender conveys progressively larger pieces of good news.
Robust relational contracts with subjective performance evaluation
Authors: Bhaskar V. , Olszewski Wojciech , Wiseman Thomas
Published: July 2024

We study a repeated principal–agent model with transferable utility, where the principal's evaluation of the agent's performance is subjective. Our focus is on equilibria that are robust to the addition of small privately observed shocks to the payoffs. Existing constructions of positive‐effort equilibria are not robust to such payoff shocks. Allowing for simultaneous cheap‐talk announcements makes some effort sustainable in a robust equilibrium, and payoffs can be arbitrarily close to fully efficient ones if players are sufficiently patient. In contrast to the existing literature, our near‐efficient equilibria exhibit realistic features: the bonus size is reasonable, the threshold for being paid a bonus is nontrivial, and the base wage need not be negative.
