Authors: Rengifo Ortiz Santos Berlington
Published: November 2020

El presente ensayo aborda la educación, en un recorrido  que se realiza desde diferentes periodos de la historia de la educación, comenzando desde el siglo de las luces, pasando por la  edad de oro, hasta llegar a la educación actual, en esta última se enfatizan diferentes tipos de pedagogías: las emergentes, la de la esperanza y la planetaria, además se realiza  un análisis de los filósofos y pedagogos que más se han destacado en cada una de esas épocas resaltando en cada uno de ellos: que finalidad tiene frente a la educación, cuál es su concepto frente  al  niño y frente al maestro y el método que ha desarrollo en función de la educación de los niños  independientemente de su contexto. Posteriormente se plantean unas conclusiones que recogen los elementos más sobresaliente de las épocas ya mencionadas, en función de dejar evidencias de una mirada puntual frente los actores del proceso educativo; finalmente se plantea unos desafíos que apuntan a una educación más moderna y pensada en el niño como eje central del proceso, y quienes son el motor de la educación, para llegar a los maestros los cuales son más vistos como guías y orientadores de los diferentes proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje, que el niño desarrolla en un contexto especifico. Además, se puede evidenciar las referencias bibliográficas las cuales recogen los autores citados en el documento y que fueron determinantes para el desarrollo del presente escrito.
Decolonización educativa frente al pensamiento eurocéntrico occidental
Authors: Gómez Navarro Pablo Ramón
Published: November 2020

El presente ensayo es una reflexión sobre la decolonización educativa frente al pensamiento eurocéntrico presente aun en nuestro escenario educativo actual.  En él se analizan los diferentes discursos e  ideas que esbozan los principales  pensadores de la decolonización.  En este sentido, se plantea estudiar desde una metodología documental, las ideas de autores tales como: Freire (2002), Santos (2010), Fernández (2011), Mejías (2010), Walsh (2014), Solano (2014), Fannon (2014), entre otros. Tales planteamientos tienen el propósito de  entender las posiciones discursivas de estos autores orientados a romper las cadenas mentales que atan a la institución educativa formal a prácticas neocoloniales y proponer un nuevo modelo educativo liberador a partir de la visión  emancipadora e historicista circunscrita en una pedagogía crítica de resistencia  contra  la ideología dominante del sistema opresor.

Published: November 2020

While it is widely accepted that planets are formed in protoplanetary disks, there is still much debate on when this process happens. In a few cases protoplanets have been directly imaged, but for the vast majority of systems, disk gaps and cavities—seen especially in dust continuum observations—have been the strongest evidence of recent or ongoing planet formation. We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of a nearly edge-on (i = 75°) disk containing a giant gap seen in dust but not in 12CO gas. Inside the gap, the molecular gas has a warm (100 K) component coinciding in position with a tentative free–free emission excess observed with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. Using 1D hydrodynamic models, we find the structure of the gap is consistent with being carved by a planet with 4–70 M
Jup. The coincidence of free–free emission inside the planet-carved gap points to the planet being very young and/or still accreting. In addition, the 12CO observations reveal low-velocity large-scale filaments aligned with the disk major axis and velocity coherent with the disk gas that we interpret as ongoing gas infall from the local interstellar medium. This system appears to be an interesting case where both a star (from the environment and the disk) and a planet (from the disk) are growing in tandem.
Double-peaked Pulse Profile of FRB 200428: Synchrotron Maser Emission from Magnetized Shocks Encountering a Density Jump
Authors: Xiao Di , Dai Zi-Gao
Published: November 2020

Very recently a fast radio burst (FRB) 200428 associated with a strong X-ray burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154 was detected; this provides direct evidence supporting the magnetar progenitor models of FRBs. Assuming that the FRB radiation mechanism is synchrotron maser emission from magnetized shocks, we develop a specific scenario by introducing a density-jump structure of upstream medium, thus making the double-peaked character of FRB 200428 a natural outcome. The luminosity and emission frequency of two pulses can be well explained in this scenario. Furthermore, we find that the synchrotron emission of shock-accelerated electrons is in the X-ray band, and therefore can be responsible for at least a portion of observed X-ray fluence. With the proper upgrade, in the future this density-jump scenario could be applied to FRBs with multiple peaks.
Heavy-element Abundances in P-rich Stars: A New Site for the s-process?
Authors: Masseron T. , García-Hernández D. A. , Zamora O. , Manchado A.
Published: November 2020

The recently discovered phosphorus-rich stars pose a challenge to stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis theory, as none of the existing models can explain their extremely peculiar chemical abundances pattern. Apart from the large phosphorus enhancement, such stars also show enhancement in other light (O, Mg, Si, and Al) and heavy (e.g., Ce) elements. We have obtained high-resolution optical spectra of two optically bright phosphorus-rich stars (including a new P-rich star), for which we have determined a larger number of elemental abundances (from C to Pb). We confirm the unusual light-element abundance pattern with very large enhancements of Mg, Si, Al, and P, and possibly some Cu enhancement, but the spectrum of the new P-rich star are the only ones to reveal some C(+N) enhancement. When compared to other appropriate metal-poor and neutron-capture enhanced stars, the two P-rich stars show heavy-element overabundances similar to low neutron density s-process nucleosynthesis, with high first-peak (Sr, Y, and Zr) and second-peak (Ba, La, Ce, and Nd) element enhancements (even some Pb enhancement in one star) and a negative [Rb/Sr] ratio. However, this s-process is distinct from the one occurring in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. The notable distinctions encompass larger [Ba/La] and lower Eu and Pb than their AGB counterparts. Our observations should guide stellar nucleosynthesis theoreticians and observers to identify the P-rich star progenitor, which represents a new site for s-process nucleosynthesis, with important implications for the chemical evolution of our Galaxy.
Repeated measurements and quality of estimates in the analysis of NPP pipeline erosion-corrosion wear
Authors: Baranenko Valery I. , Gulina Olga M. , Mironov Sergey A. , Salnikov Nikolay L.
Published: November 2020

The article presents a study carried out on carbon steel pipe components subjected to erosion-corrosion wear (ECW). Based on the repeated control data, the authors present the calculated ECW characteristics, i.e., the wall-thinning and rate. It is shown that such estimates contain great uncertainty due to corrosion products deposited on the pipeline inner surface and their migration during operation. In addition, with an increase in the operating time, for example, when the lifetime is extended, the difference between the forecast and the results of control becomes larger. This means that the error in the estimates of the residual lifetime also increases. The study is based on the data of wall thickness measurements of the feedwater pipeline (273×16 mm) and steam pipeline (465×16mm) of nuclear power plants with the VVER-440 reactors, for which a sufficient number of repeated measurements were performed over a large time interval. An analysis is made of the error in estimating the pipeline wall-thinning and ECW rate using Chexal-Horowitz Flow-Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) Model (EKI-02 and EKI-03 software tools). The estimate of the ECW rate according to the above forecast model differs from the estimate according to the current control data by no more than 12.5%, since the corrosion products deposited on the pipeline inner surface wall are leveled at a large time base. When calculating the wall-thinning, due to the obvious filtering of the control data, it is possible to achieve an acceptable accuracy of estimates, i.e., about 16% without upgrading the model.
Multi-criteria analysis of the efficiency of scenarios for the development of the Russian nuclear industry in view of the uncertain prospects for the future

Published: November 2020

Multi-criteria analysis is used in many areas of research where it is required to compare several alternatives according to a selected set of criteria. Of particular interest is the application of this method for a comparative assessment of the efficiency of scenarios for the development of innovative nuclear systems.

The article proposes an approach to the computational substantiation of the step-by-step transfer of the Russian nuclear industry to a two-component nuclear energy system (NES) with a centralized closed nuclear fuel cycle (NFC) based on the multi-criteria analysis method. At the same time, consideration is given to options for the development of the domestic nuclear industry in view of the uncertain prospects for the future. Taking into account various trends in the nuclear energy development, the authors identify the following three groups of possible scenarios. The first group includes ‘growing’ scenarios in which the number of units and their total installed capacity grow over time. The second group assumes that after a certain time of growth of the installed capacities, the stationary level will be reached, in which there will be no time-dependent capacity changes. The third group simulates a decrease in the installed nuclear energy capacities in the country after some growth.

To select the most preferable ways of technological development and assess the efficiency of a nuclear energy system, a limited set of selection criteria and performance indicators are used, covering the economy, export potential, competitiveness, efficient SNF and RW management, natural uranium consumption, and innovative development potential. An important part of this work was a detailed analysis of the uncertainties in the weights and input data used to derive the criteria.
Development of a criterion for assessment of fuel washout during operation of WWER power units

Published: November 2020

Fuel failures may occur during operation of nuclear power plants. One of the possible and most severe consequences of a fuel failure is that fuel may be washed out from the leaking fuel rod into the coolant.

Reliable detection of fuel washout is important for handling of leaking fuel assemblies after irradiation is over. Detection of fuel washout is achievable in the framework of coolant activity evaluation during reactor operation. For this purpose, 134I activity is historically used in WWER power units. However, observed 134I activity may increase during operation even if leaking fuel in the core is absent, and fuel deposits are the only source of the fission products release.

The paper describes a criterion which enables to reveal the cases when the increase in 134I activity results from the fuel washout from the leaking fuel rods during operation of the WWER-type reactor. Some examples of applications at nuclear power plants are discussed.

Published: November 2020

This study was performed to analyze the effect that coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has had on orthopedic surgeons' practices, their patients, and orthopedic surgeons themselves through a survey distributed to members of the Louisiana Orthopaedic Association (LOA). An anonymous 22-question online survey was created and distributed to 323 LOA members. Of the 323 recipients of the survey, 99 (30.7%) responded. As a part of a multiple response set, in which respondents could choose more than one answer, the majority reported delayed care for routine orthopedic injuries (81 of 97, 83.5%). Almost every surgeon (n=95, 96.0%) reported stopping or delaying elective surgery because of COVID-19 and an increase in pain/disability/deformity in patients due to delay in elective procedures (73 of 97, 75.3%) and delay in seeking care (66 of 97, 68.0%). The majority reported an increased use of telehealth visits (68 of 97, 70.1%), a decrease in patient volume (88 of 97, 90.7%), and a reduction in income (79 of 98, 80.6%) during the past 6 months. A majority of surgeons (58 of 98, 59.2%) reported that they had applied for government assistance or took out loans. Via a multiple response set, respondents indicated that as a result of the pandemic, telehealth will become more widespread (64 of 98, 65.3%) and hospitals will exert a stronger influence over health care (64 of 98, 65.3%). The COVID-19 pandemic has had lasting effects on orthopedic surgeons in Louisiana and their practices, with a substantial decrease in the number of patients treated (90.5%), surgical volume, and revenue (80.6%). Orthopedic surgeons affected by the pandemic could use these data to further understand future challenges with patient care and changing orthopedic practice dynamics during this unique time. [

Authors: Sánchez-González María Carmen , Sánchez-González José-María , De-Hita-Cantalejo Concepción , Vega-Holm Margarita , Jiménez-Rejano José-Jesús , Gutiérrez-Sánchez Estanislao
Published: November 2020

Purpose:

To establish a relationship between age and horizontal heterophoria, horizontal fusional vergence amplitudes, and vergence facility testing.

Methods:

The sample consisted of 112 patients with a mean age of 39.8 ± 14.97 years (range: 18 to 65 years) and was composed of 61 women (54.5%) and 51 men (45.5%). The non-presbyopic group included patients 18 to 39 years old (n = 49) and the presbyopic group included patients 41 to 65 years old (n = 63). Binocular vision was studied by heterophoria horizontal magnitude (prism diopters [PD]), horizontal fusional vergences amplitudes (PD), and vergence facility testing (cycles per minute [cpm]) and quantified with a combination of 3 PD base-in and 12 PD base-out prisms.

Results:

Significant differences were obtained in near heterophoria with compensation (exophoria increased by 3.74 PD,
t
= 2.12,
P
< .05), distance positive fusional vergence (PFV) recovery (decreased by 2.86 PD,
t
= 3.03,
P
< .01), near PFV blur (decreased by 3.13 PD,
t
= 1.98,
P
= .05), near PFV break (decreased by 4.45 PD,
t
= 2.75,
P
< .01), near PFV recovery (decreased by 4.69 PD,
t
= 3.30,
P
< .01), and vergence facility testing (decreased by 2.63 PD,
t
= 2.77,
P
< .01).

Conclusions:

The results indicated an increase of exophoria, a decrease in near positive horizontal fusional vergences, and vergence facility was dependent on age; thus, the authors suggest that changes in the normal values should be considered for each age range.

Published: November 2020

Purpose:

To evaluate the use of intravitreal bevacizumab injections for the treatment of intraretinal cystic spaces associated with gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina.

Methods:

Retrospective chart review of 5 eyes of 3 patients with intraretinal cystic spaces associated with gyrate atrophy and treated with intravitreal bevacizumab injections was performed. Information obtained included history, examination findings, optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, fluorescein angiography, and microperimetric findings before and after the injections.

Results:

The mean age of patients was 11 ± 4.6 years. All patients received three monthly bevacizumab injections. The mean corrected distance visual acuity was 0.27 ± 0.10 at baseline and improved to 0.36 ± 0.12 after the injections (
P
= .015). The mean central macular thickness was 569 ± 127 µm at baseline and improved to 422 ± 123 µm after the injections (
P
= .067). Microperimetry and OCT angiography performed in 1 patient before and after the three injections showed improved macular sensitivity and vascular density measurements following the injections.

Conclusions:

Intravitreal bevacizumab is safe and effective in the treatment of intraretinal cystic spaces associated with gyrate atrophy.

Normative Data Assessment of Peripapillary and Macular Vessel Density and Foveal Avascular Zone Metrics Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Children
Authors: Kiziltoprak Hasan , Tekin Kemal , Cevik Seda , Kocer Ali Mert , Goker Yasin Sakir
Published: November 2020

Purpose:

To quantify the vessel density of the macula and optic disc and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in healthy children and to evaluate the effects of age, gender, axial length, body mass index (BMI), and refractive errors on vessel density and FAZ.

Methods:

This study enrolled 92 eyes of 92 participants (42 boys and 50 girls). Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was performed using AngioVue (Avanti; Optivue). FAZ area, nonflow area, superficial and deep vessel density, FAZ perimeter, acircularity index of FAZ, foveal density, and radial peripapillary capillary vessel density were analyzed by gender. Correlations between the investigated OCTA parameters and age, axial length, and BMI were evaluated.

Results:

Girls had significantly larger nonflow and FAZ area than boys (
P
= .01 and .02). Superficial and deep vessel density at the fovea was significantly higher in boys compared to girls (
P
= .01 and .03). Inferior temporal and superior temporal Radial peripapillary capillary vessel densities were significantly higher in girls than boys (
P
= .01 and .03). No significant difference was found in the macular and optic disc vessel density measurements within refractive groups (
P
> .05, for all). Regarding the correlation of age with FAZ and vessel density parameters, only nonflow area was positively correlated with age (
r
= 0.22,
P
= .03).

Conclusions:

This study provides normative data for children. Although boys had greater foveal vessel density, girls had greater FAZ area and nonflow area. Refractive status of the eye and BMI did not influence the OCTA parameters. Although nonflow area was positively correlated with age, other parameters were steady within the ages of 7 to 18 years.

Feedback stabilization of bilinear coupled hyperbolic systems
Authors: Lamrani Ilyasse , El Harraki Imad , Boutoulout Ali , El Alaoui Fatima-Zahrae
Published: November 2020

This paper studies the problem of stabilization of some coupled hyperbolic systems using nonlinear feedback. We give a sufficient condition for exponential stabilization by bilinear feedback control. The specificity of the control used is that it acts on only one equation. The results obtained are illustrated by some examples where a theorem of Mehrenberger has been used for the observability of compactly perturbed systems [18].
Solving fractional Advection-diffusion equation using Genocchi operational matrix based on Atangana-Baleanu derivative
Authors: Sadeghi S. , Jafari H. , Nemati S.
Published: November 2020

In recent years, a new definition of fractional derivative which has a nonlocal and non-singular kernel has been proposed by Atangana and Baleanu. This new definition is called the Atangana-Baleanu derivative. In this paper, we present a new technique to obtain the numerical solution of advection-diffusion equation containing Atangana-Baleanu derivative. For this purpose, we use the operational matrix of fractional integral based on Genocchi polynomials. An error bound is given for the approximation of a bivariate function using Genocchi polynomials. Finally, some examples are given to illustrate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed method.
A new methodology for solving bi-criterion fractional stochastic programming
Authors: Mehrjerdi Yahia Zare
Published: November 2020

Solving a bi-criterion fractional stochastic programming using an existing multi criteria decision making tool demands sufficient efforts and it is time consuming. There are many cases in financial situations that a nonlinear fractional programming, generated as a result of studying fractional stochastic programming, must be solved. Often management is not in needs of an optimal solution for the problem but rather an approximate solution can give him/her a good starting for the decision making or running a new model to find an intermediate or final solution. To this end, this author introduces a new linear approximation technique for solving a fractional stochastic programming (CCP) problem. After introducing the problem, the equivalent deterministic form of the fractional nonlinear programming problem is developed. To solve the problem, a fuzzy goal programming model of the equivalent deterministic form of the fractional stochastic programming is provided and then, the process of defuzzification and linearization of the problem is presented. A sample test problem is solved for presentation purposes. There are some limitations to the proposed approach: (1) solution obtains from this type of modeling is an approximate solution and, (2) preparation of approximation model of the problem may take some times for the beginners.

Compétences communicationnelles et pratiques numériques des « musiciens connectés »
Authors: COSTANTINI Stéphane
Published: November 2020

Depuis les années 2000, l’émergence de nouveaux acteurs issus des industries de la communication a été suivie de profonds bouleversements au sein des industries de la musique. Cet article propose d’interroger les enjeux qu’implique chez les musiciens la formation de compétences communicationnelles sur Internet et les réseaux socionumériques. Le déploiement par les musiciens de logiques d’actions qui tendent à se rapprocher de celles de l’animation de communauté fait apparaître de nouveaux enjeux dans la diffusion et la promotion des activités musicales. Afin de cerner ces enjeux, le travail empirique mené s’est notamment appuyé sur une analyse des discours et des pratiques des musiciens en France et au Royaume-Uni. Les résultats de ces analyses suggèrent que les pratiques communicationnelles des musiciens observés les incitent à adopter une posture d’entrepreneur de leur visibilité, une posture qui se révèle controversée à plus d’un égard.
L’expérience de la musique en régime numérique : continuité ou disruption ?
Authors: GUERN Philippe LE
Published: November 2020

S’appuyant sur les nombreux travaux antérieurs que l’auteur a pu consacrer au passage de l’analogique au numérique en musique, cet article revient sur la notion de virage numérique. En effet, par comparaison avec l’ère analogique de la production culturelle, les technologies numériques et leur généralisation semblent avoir fait sauter un certain nombre de verrous économiques, pratiques et symboliques. En particulier, elles favoriseraient l’augmentation de la population des artistes, en réduisant les coûts d’entrée sur le marché de l’art et en maximisant les possibilités d’accès à la notoriété grâce aux réseaux sociaux ; elles accroîtraient le bien-être social des publics en augmentant le nombre et l’accessibilité des œuvres produites ; elles effaceraient la hiérarchie des œuvres en favorisant les esthétiques de l’hybridation et de la décontextualisation. Dès lors, comment intégrer ce changement de paradigme dans le cadre d’une théorie de l’art et de l’histoire de l’art ? Comment penser la portée anthropologique des transformations induites par les mutations techniques ?

Published: November 2020

A "whitelist network switch (WLS)", which can monitor and filter packets based on a whitelist, is particularly effective for stronger information security in closed network environments, such as in factories. This paper focuses on the base network environment for a nurse call system within a large hospital. This network environment is of particular importance to security, and the types of network protocols used are limited. We note important points regarding the practical operation and effectiveness of WLS through two approaches: (i) test introduction into an existing, actual hospital network system; (ii) test introduction in an experimental nurse call system environment.
Is God really good to the upright? Theological educators exploring Psalm 73 through the Jungian lenses of sensing, intuition, feeling and thinking
Authors: Francis Leslie J. , Jones Susan H. , Ross Christopher F.
Published: November 2020

Psalm 73 is a challenging Psalm in which the Psalmist draws on rich imagery to juxtapose doctrine and experience and to juxtapose the goodness of God with divine retribution. Drawing on data provided by 15 theological educators within the Anglican Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf, this study tests the thesis that the imagery of Psalm 73 will be perceived differently by sensing types and by intuitive types and that the issue ‘Is God really good to the upright?’ will be judged differently by feeling types and by thinking types. The findings from this study are consistent with the broader hermeneutical theory that the psychological type profile of the reader, in terms of perceiving preference and judging preference, plays a formative part in shaping the interpretation of biblical material.Contribution: Situated within the reader-perspective approach to biblical hermeneutics, the SIFT method is concerned with identifying the influence of the psychological type of the reader in shaping the interpretation of text. The present study demonstrates that this theory holds true for the way in which theological educators read Psalm 73.

Authors: Chimbetete Cleophas , Mudzviti Tinashe , Shamu Tinei
Published: November 2020

Background: People living with HIV (PLWH) face new challenges such as accelerated ageing and higher rates of comorbidities including cardiovascular, renal and metabolic diseases as they age.Objectives: To profile the demographic and clinical characteristics of elderly patients receiving HIV care at Newlands Clinic (NC), Harare, Zimbabwe, as of 01 October 2019.Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using clinic data. All patients who were 50 years and older on 01 October 2019 were enrolled. Descriptive statistics (medians, interquartile ranges [IQRs] and proportions) were used to describe patient demographic and clinical characteristics.Results: Out of 6543 patients undergoing care at NC, 1688 (25.8%) were older than 50 years. The median duration of antiretroviral therapy (ART) was 10.9 years (IQR: 7.1–13). Over 90% of all patients had an HIV viral load below 50 copies/mL. Women were more likely than men to be overweight and obese (32% and 25% vs. 18% and 7%, respectively). Hypertension (41.2%), arthritis (19.9%) and chronic kidney disease (11.6%) were common comorbidities differently distributed based on sex. The most common malignancy diagnosed in women was cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (68% of cancer burden in women) and Kaposi sarcoma was the leading malignancy in men (41% of cancer burden in men). Nearly 20% of patients had at least two chronic non-communicable comorbidities and 5.6% had at least three.Conclusion: A high burden of comorbidities was observed amongst HIV-positive elderly patients receiving ART. Age-appropriate monitoring protocols must be developed to ensure optimum quality of care for elderly HIV-positive individuals.
The relationship between the determinants of executive remuneration in South African state-owned enterprises
Authors: Maloa Frans
Published: November 2020

Orientation: Research on executive remuneration should be able to indicate the necessary elements and dimensions at work when deciding on an executive’s package.Research purpose: The purpose of this article was to review a correlation of elements as determinants of executive remuneration.Motivation for the study: The limited research on executive remuneration tends to focus on how executive pay varies with performance and less on the determinants of executive remuneration.Research design and method: A quantitative research method was used. The target population consisted of executives from 21 South African state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The research design was a cross-sectional study. A categorical multiple regression analysis was performed.Main findings: The research results seem to suggest that there is a significant statistical correlation between organisation size and type of industry; job function and type of industry; organisation size and job function; and the level of education and job function as a determinant of executive remuneration within the context of South African SOEs. However, the extent of the correlations between the determinants of executive remuneration is not the same.Practical/managerial implications: The research results create awareness amongst human resources practitioners and consultants of the extent to which some of the determinants of remuneration may apply in practice.Contribution/value-add: This study highlights the importance of probing further with the effect of size correlation in quantitative research in the context of executive remuneration.

Therefore, the need exists to explore the potential of current leaders and their views of leadership in higher education.Research purpose: The study aimed to explore the views of how academic and professional support leaders have shifted their thinking of and approach to leadership following their participation in a leadership development programme.Motivation for the study: Understanding the views of potential leaders about leadership and how leadership development programmes can influence their thinking is essential.Research approach/design and method: Qualitative data was gathered by means of a document analysis using reflections submitted by 19 participants of a leadership development programme.Main Findings: The results showed that the programme had an impact on how participants started reflecting on leadership styles beyond the usual description of leadership styles. Additionally, participants used the opportunity for introspection of their own role as a leader and how they need to adapt.Practical/managerial implications: Higher education institutions are encouraged to implement leadership development programmes that will encourage stakeholders to engage in introspective activities that could influence behavioural change.Contribution/value-add: It is evident from the results that the information is useful in indicating how participants had made personal adjustments in the way they viewed leadership with a greater sense of ownership and understanding of distributed leadership through the participation in a leadership development programme.

El objetivo general de este trabajo es analizar algunos aspectos médico-legales, criminológicos y jurídico-penales de la violencia contra la mujer. En concreto, pretendemos examinar las características socio-demográficas, determinar las diversas formas de abuso y su contexto, así como analizar la actitud de las víctimas en el proceso judicial. Para ello hemos seleccionado información de 580 expedientes de la Fiscalía de Santiago de Compostela clasificados como “Violencia de Género”, con sentencia firme. Hemos comprobado diversas características individuales, familiares y sociales, destacando el predominio de mujeres de nacionalidad española, en edad reproductiva, de nivel socioeconómico medio-bajo. El delito más prevalente es el maltrato ocasional, viéndose también afectados, en un número relevante de casos, los menores. La actitud de las víctimas a la hora de interponer denuncia se halla mediatizada por determinadas circunstancias socio-demográficas y su negativa a declarar influye, de manera estadísticamente significativa, en la decisión final del órgano judicial.

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de una investigación que ha evaluado las percepciones de 131 jóvenes infractores sobre su experiencia judicial. En concreto se han analizado sus percepciones de justicia procedimental y de competencia legal. Al mismo tiempo, se han analizado también sus opiniones en relación con la interacción con su letrado, que es uno de los agentes con los que más debe tratar el joven infractor y el principal responsable de incrementar su competencia legal. Los resultados han puesto de manifiesto que los jóvenes no están plenamente satisfechos con la experiencia. Además, se ha comprobado que la satisfacción depende en gran medida de sus percepciones de justicia procedimental y de competencia legal. Por otra parte, se ha comprobado la importancia del contacto previo con el abogado para que la interacción sea de más calidad y mejoren las percepciones de los chicos. Aun así, estas percepciones concretas sobre este profesional no condicionan la valoración global de la experiencia judicial.

El objetivo de este estudio es incrementar el conocimiento sobre el proceso de revelación y denuncia del abuso sexual infantil en España, mediante entrevistas a 15 víctimas adultas que han vivido esta experiencia antes de los 18 años. Se han recogido datos sobre la revelación y denuncia, la reacción de sus interlocutores y su opinión respecto de la prescripción de estos delitos. La mayoría revelaron el abuso tanto en la infancia como en la adultez, pero sólo sintieron que les resultaron de ayuda las revelaciones hechas en esta última etapa. Un caso se denunció en la infancia y dos durante la adultez, habiendo transcurrido cerca de veinte años desde la edad de inicio de los abusos. Las víctimas que denunciaron reportan sentirse satisfechas con la decisión, aunque han definido el proceso como duro. La totalidad de la muestra opina que los delitos sexuales contra menores no deberían prescribir.

Authors: Varona Daniel
Published: November 2020

El presente trabajo tiene dos objetivos principales. En primer lugar, proporcionar datos modernos y fiables sobre la aplicación práctica de la suspensión de la pena de prisión. Para ello se presentan los resultados de una investigación empírica realizada en los Juzgados de lo Penal de Barcelona y Girona sobre expedientes de Ejecutorias de los años 2015 y 2016. Esta investigación permite sostener, en línea con anteriores trabajos, que la historia de la suspensión de la pena es una historia de éxito, ya que es aplicada de forma generalizada por nuestros tribunales. Constatada esta historia de éxito, el segundo objetivo del trabajo es presentar y discutir las razones que explican el éxito de la suspensión de la pena como institución penológica, defendiendo que el aspecto decisivo es su funcionalidad como instrumento clave para la propia supervivencia del sistema penitenciario y de justicia penal.

Sub-clinical borderline personality disorder symptoms as predictor of suicidality and non-suicidal self-injury in young Pakistani females
Authors: Gull Zareen  , Farzana Ashraf  , Admin
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine if suicidal and non-suicidal self-injury can be predicted by the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and if non-suicidal self-injury predicts suicidality in young adult females. In this cross-sectional study, 150 undergraduate females (mean age 20.47±3.17) were conveniently sampled and assessed on McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder, Suicidal Behaviour Questionnaire-Revised, and the Inventory of Statements about Self-injury. Borderline Personality features significantly predicted suicidal ideation and behaviour (?=.383, p<.001) and non-suicidal self-injury (?.282, p<.01). Likewise, non-suicidal self-injury was positively associated with suicidality (r =.330, p<.01). Even sub-threshold BPD features in a non-clinical population may be predictive of suicidal and non-suicidal self-injury. Future research should be based on the management and interventional strategies for tested constructs. Further, screening measures need to be introduced to better detect population at risk of subclinical BPD, suicidal ideation and self-injury.
