Twenty years of the Human Genome Diversity Project
Authors: Aneli Serena , Birolo Giovanni , Matullo Giuseppe
Published: October 2022

In a seminal paper from 2005, Cavalli-Sforza describes the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP), an endeavour to collect the worldwide genetic diversity originating before the big diasporas and colonization following the fifteenth century. He recounts the project’s conception, its completion and first scientific impacts in 2002, the issues and criticism it faced and its possible role in the future of human genetics. Now, twenty years after its birth, we can take a look at that future and the long-term impact that the HGDP had on population and medical genetics, finding it still alive and kicking. We also show the role it played and its relationships with many other large initiatives that took place during these years. Finally, we examined the changed sensibilities on the ethical usage of genetic data for scientific research and how this affects the HGDP and other genetic efforts, both in population and medical genetics.
Driving Mechanism for Multi-Level Governance of Domestic Waste Sorting Based on Social Network Analysis and Interpretative Structural Modeling
Authors: Cui Tiening , Si Zhang
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Domestic waste sorting is an important link of grassroots social governance. Drawing on the theory of multi-level governance, this paper identifies 14 factors affecting the multi-level governance of domestic waste sorting, and combines social network analysis (SNA) with interpretative structural modeling (ISM) to quantify the key influencing factors, and their correlation mechanism. The results show that: (1) To form the management system for multi-level governance, it is necessary to nurture and construct a framework with government governance as the basis, the social capital as the driver, and the system self-organization as the operating mechanism. (2) The factors affecting multi-level governance can be divided into four layers: three factors, including regulatory support, belong to the bottom layer, and play a key role in the formation of the driving mechanism for multi-level governance; nine factors, including incentive measure, belong to the middle layer, and play a transitional role in the operation of the driving mechanism; three factors, namely, publicity and education, mutual trust, and practice of social norms, belong to the surface layer, and directly affect the driving mechanism for the multi-level governance of domestic waste sorting. Although the three surface layer factors clearly depend on the factors on the other layers, they exert the most direct impact on the construction and operation of the driving mechanism. The analysis results shed new light on how to study the driving mechanism for the multi-level governance of domestic waste sorting.

The Right to Deletion: Identity, Memory, and Surveillance Capitalism
Authors: Jooste Yvonne
Published: October 2022

This article considers “the right to deletion” enacted under the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 and uses the right as a lens through which to contemplate (1) memory, identity, and forgetting in the digital age; (2) the erosion of the privacies of life and the notion of “home” in the context of ubiquitous technologies; and (3) a new form of instrumentarian power created by surveillance capitalist regimes that aims to make individuals into known and knowable entities for economic ends as well as the implications of this form of power for the values of dignity, democracy and privacy. It is suggested that the reclaiming of forgetting is necessary for human growth and agency and that the reclaiming of “home” is required as a shelter for the privacies of life, intimacy, and freedom. The argument is also made that the right to deletion should be understood within the context of the increasing loss of privacy within societies under techno-capitalist control.

Published: October 2022

Introduction. The regional geographic information system, being a tool for information and analytical support for making managerial decisions, has been widely used in almost all areas of the Federal Service in the field of consumer protection and human well-being, increasing their effectiveness and efficiency. Purpose. To analyze the effectiveness of the use of a regional geographic information system in solving the problems of the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the region and to assess the prospects for the development of this system in the activities of the service. Material and methods. Retrospective analysis of the results of the adopted management decisions to improve the state of the environment and health of the population based on the implemented regional geographic information system. Results. The conducted retrospective analysis showed the high efficiency of using regional geoinformation systems when performing environmental and hygienic studies to assess the state of public health, environmental pollution, and in particular, to establish cause-and-effect relationships between the influence of environmental factors on public health and medical demographic indicators. Limitations. The limitation of the study is due to the inability to analyze the long-term experience of using geoinformation systems in solving the problems of sanitary and epidemiological well-being, as well as the lack of indicators of the effectiveness of their use on examples from other regions. Conclusion. The use of geoinformation technologies makes it possible for the authorities of the region to visually present information on priority hygienic and epidemiological problems in a particular administrative territory, and helps to determine the priorities for developing measures aimed at preserving the health of the population.
Literature Review on Motivational Profiles: A Person-centred Approach to Motivation
Authors: Chan Sabrina , Ryan William
Published: October 2022

This paper reviews past literature on motivation, with a focus on the person-centred approach. Through reviewing the conceptualisation and development of motivation research, it analyses the theory and method of motivational profiles, and discusses its real-life implications. This paper finds that the person-centred approach provides insights for many abstract key performance indicators, ranging from employees’ work attitude to affective commitment, to an embracement of ownership culture. Intervention programs based on this approach also showed not higher adaptation to stress, stronger perceived organization support, and stronger team motivation. Employees also reflected stronger individual’s identification with team values and their purpose in work. Practically speaking, research findings have strong implications in workplace hiring, in that motivational profile highlights person-environment fit as an antecedent for enhancing high-quality motivation. However, due to its recent emergence, more research is needed for more solid consensus in how profiles are identified and how they interact in different industry contexts.
One-Way Speed of Light Experiment (Quantum Entanglement Approach)
Authors: Agarwal Dhruv , Rezai Kristine
Published: October 2022

Since Einstein stated the constancy of the speed of light to be a mere “stipulation … to arrive at a definition of simultaneity”, theorists argued that it could be possible for the speed of light to differ in different directions since there are many anisotropies like the amount of matter vs antimatter. However, this assumption has not been confirmed yet. No experiment has been proposed that measures the one-way speed of light; all experiments to date measure the round-trip speed of light. The experiment proposed in this paper seeks to measure the one-way speed of light by using an entanglement-controlled stopwatch while remaining blind (during the experiment) on whether the speed of light is isotropic or anisotropic, thereby answering the century-long question.

Authors: T Moreno-Monsalve , MI Castellon-Sanchez , L Mohamed-Salem , AC Hernandez-Martinez , L Frutos-Esteban , JL Navarro-Fernandez , T Rodriguez-Locarno , J Contreras-Gutierrez
Published: October 2022

Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are characterized by specific tissue characteristics targeted by molecular imaging. Functional imaging is an important diagnostic tool because most NETs have high cell surface somatostatin receptor expression levels, which has a great impact on patient management, including better localization of occult tumors in the small intestine and pancreas as well as improved staging and restaging. We report the case of a male diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, that during the follow-up a 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT scan revealed distant disease (bone and bowel), findings that conventional imaging did not reveal.

English Ivy or Hedera Helix is a multi-medicinal functioned plant in nature. Most coughmedicines in Vietnam were extracted from Ivy leaves because of its 5 main active components, in which 4 Saponins included Hederacoside C (predominance), α-Hederin, Hederacoside D, Hederasaponin B are responsible for eliminating congestion (breaking up the phlegm and mucus) and Flavonoid: Kaempferol 3-rutinoside plays the role of reducing inflammations [1]. This study aimed to develop a HPLC-PDA method to simultaneously and fast analyze these 5 compounds in materials and dietary supplements containing hedera helix extract in Vietnam market. After the simple preparation procedure, the analytes were separated by using a C18 column (150 mm × 4.6mm, 5 µm) as stationary phase, and a mixture of 0.1% phosphoric acid and acetonitrile as mobile phase. The detection and quantification were in PDA detector at 205 nm. The method validation followed AOAC criteria. The calibration curves in the range of 0.5 - 200 mg/L for 4 saponins and 0.1 - 100 mg/L for the flavonoid with high correlation coefficient (R2 > 0.9999). The MDL (0.03 - 0.15 mg/kg) and MQL (0.15 - 0.50 mg/kg); RSDr (%) for repeatability (1.01 - 3.90%) and RSDR reproducibility (1.25 - 6.89%); recoveries (91.3 - 106%) for 5 compounds satisfied the AOAC requirements. The method was applied successfully for determining the content of the analytes in 10 real samples including dried ivy extract powder, dried leaves, and some cough relief products purchased from markets in Hanoi. The levels of the 5 analytes were different in each sample in which Hederacoside C and α-Hederin account for the main proportions.

Published: October 2022

Contamination levels of two typical perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) were evaluated in Vietnamese fish samples by using our monitoring results and database reported in previous studies. In freshwater fish taken from West and Yen So Lakes (Hanoi), PFOS and PFOA concentrations ranged from < 0.030 to 0.48 (mean 0.12) ng/g, and from < 0.010 to 0.19 (mean 0.058) ng/g, respectively. These levels were comparable to those measured in fish samples from other areas in Vietnam, but were generally lower than values documented for fish samples from other countries. PFOS and PFOA daily intake doses via fish consumption ranged from 0.015 to 0.48 (mean 0.12) and from 0.005 to 0.20 (mean 0.065) ng/kg/day. In general, these intake doses were lower than the reference dose of 20 ng/kg/day, suggesting acceptable levels of risk.
The Status of Tuzla Mosques from the 16th and 17th Centuries
Authors: Jahic Edin
Published: October 2022

The renovation of historic buildings carries a potential risk concerning the preservation or restoration of their original or earlier form and appearance. This study examines the seven historic mosques in Tuzla, and the impact of the latest interventions on their original form and appearance. At least twelve mosques existed in (Donja) Tuzla at the end of the 16th century, of which seven are still extant. Rare records testify to their foundation, maintenance, or fire damage. On the other hand, no documents on their early renovations or alterations are available. It is, however, certain that repairs, renovations, and possibly alterations were typical in the past because of deteriorating construction materials and for other reasons. The oldest records of these mosques mostly date from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The work is based on many years of observation of the mosques’ architecture together with changes that have subsequently occurred, as well as available references and information concerning their past. The study shows that the interventions that have been carried out have had various outcomes, including both successful restorations of previous forms and renovations that alter earlier known designs.
From Joseph to Aṅgulimāla
Authors: Kuan Tse-fu
Published: October 2022

From the late 4th century BCE, the Greeks initiated long-term cultural exchange between the Indian and Mediterranean worlds. Following the Greek conquests of North-West India and Central Asia, Buddhism spread to these regions. Here Buddhists, native and immigrant alike, came into prolonged contact with Western civilizations. The Bible in Greek or Syriac translation may have been available in North-West India and Central Asia in the early centuries CE or before the Common Era. Cumulative evidence also indicates that there were Christians and Jews in these regions during this period. They lived side by side with Buddhists for generations. Presumably under such circumstances, biblical elements found their way, perhaps indirectly, into Buddhist literature. A notable example is one version of the Aṅgulimāla Sutta, T118. The episode of Aṅgulimāla’s encounter with his teacher’s wife was probably adapted from Joseph’s encounter with Potiphar’s wife in Genesis 39. In this article, I show that the similarities between the Joseph story and the Aṅgulimāla story greatly surpass those between the Joseph/Aṅgulimāla stories and their counterparts in other literature, including six Greek tales, an Indian epic, two Jātakas and the Divyāvadāna of Buddhism.

Analysis and characterisation of lithium-ion batteries for the integration of renewable energies: modelling, energy management and applications
Authors:   , Soto Cabria Adrián
Published: October 2022

The need for a change in the current energy model towards a future in which sustainability is advocated as an indispensable pillar of progress has led to a change in the energy paradigm. The hitherto used power sources based on the harmful burning of fossil fuels must be eradicated as quickly as possible. In this context, lithium-ion batteries emerge as a viable and environmentally friendly solution. Lithium-ion batteries, given their high energy density, can be used in the transport sector as substitutes for fossil fuels. However, the electrication of the automotive system does not entail a substantial improvement if the power generation continues to come from conventional systems based on the burning of fossil fuels or nuclear energy. The main alternative is to replace these sources with renewable sources. However, a system based solely on uncontrollable renewable resources would be nothing more than a utopia without a storage system to accompany them, such as lithium-ion batteries. This thesis analyses in detail this technology, and in particular, its application in renewable generation environments. The main lines of work are: Analysis of the current state of lithium-ion battery technology; Study of the main non-invasive characterisation techniques as a tool to quantify and identify the degradation mechanisms on lithium-ion batteries; Electrical modelling of lithium-ion batteries and validation in real systems; Study and identication of key aspects of lithium-ion batteries for the integration of renewable energies into the power grid.

On Converbs and Quasi-Converbs in Kutadgu Bilig and Modern Turkish Language
Authors: Solak Edina , Bašić Mirza
Published: October 2022

The primary objective of this paper is to analyze adverbial groups in Kutadgu Bilig written in Karakhanid Turkish. The semantic structures of the adverbial groups in the poem Kutadgu Bilig are compared to the semantically close adverbial groups in modern Turkish language. An analysis like this represents a very significant contribution to the study of Turkish language from a dia­chronical perspective. Besides, the paper compares the semantic structures of the converbial and quasi-converbial groups in the poem Kutadgu Bilig with the translation equivalents in Bosnian language, of thus contributing to better comprehension and understanding of the grammatical and semantic structures of Turkish and Bosnian language, which are genetically and typologically dif­ferent languages. The original language in the paper is Turkish, which implies the fact that the semantic structures of Turkish converbial and quasi-converbial groups are compared to the semantically close adverbial clauses in Bosnian language.
A Statistical Analysis on Tensile behaviour of Single Edge Notched Jute Hybrid Composites
Authors: Harsha H M  , Dr. K. G. Satish
Published: October 2022

In this work, a statistical model was developed using Taguchi technique to study the factors influencing the tensile strength of single edge notched jute hybrid composites. Standard uniaxial tensile tests were conducted to evaluate tensile strength of single edge notched jute hybrid composite specimens, with different fiber orientations, glass volume fractions and notch sizes, in accordance with ASTM D3039 standards. It is observed that as glass volume fraction increases, tensile strength increases. As notch size increases, tensile strength decreases. The tensile strengths of specimens in fiber direction (0°/90°) were higher than those in off fiber direction (±45°). The forecast model indicates that the major parameters that impact the tensile strength were glass volume fraction and fiber orientation. Notch size had lesser impact on tensile strength. The optimum value of the tensile strength is observed for specimen with 0/90 fiber orientation, 45% glass volume fraction, 2mm notch size and from the confirmation test, the model results were observed to be near to the experimental values.

SOCIAL ENTERPRISE AND DUTY TO CONTRIBUTE: Empresa social y el deber de contribuir
Authors: Alessandro Giovannini
Published: October 2022

La economía social ha sido desde hace tiempo objeto de estudio desde el punto de vista fiscal. En este ámbito, las cuestiones más espinosas se refieren al gravamen de la renta que las entidades del tercer sector derivan del ejercicio de actividades comerciales. Las preguntas a las que la investigación intenta dar respuesta son dos: ¿puede el deber de contribuir cumplirse con el desarrollo de actividades solidarias, como pueden definirse aquellas prestadas por estos entes? ¿Puede el principio de capacidad contributiva considerarse complementado con los beneficios obtenidos del estado por los servicios que prestan? Para responder adecuadamente, este estudio parte de una nueva y más amplia lectura del principio de capacidad contributiva del artículo 53 de la Constitución [italiana], retomando los estudios más recientes aceptados por el Tribunal Constitucional en la Sentencia núm. 72 de 2022, a la luz de la cual es también posible resolver la cuestión de los contra-límites constitucionales que pueden oponerse a posibles censuras de la Unión Europea a la legislación nacional centradas en la prohibición de ayudas de estado.
Objetividad y forma. Mies y el Edificio de Oficinas de Hormigón
Authors: Blat Tatay Andrea
Published: October 2022

El Edificio de Oficinas, proyectado por Mies van der Rohe en 1923, se muestra como un prisma elemental construido con solo dos materiales: hormigón y vidrio. En este proyecto Mies concibe por primera vez un sistema estructural al que asigna cualidades estéticas sin renunciar a su claridad y objetividad, a través de la espiritualización de los procesos tectónicos; de este modo, proyecta un edificio que se caracteriza por la ligereza y el sutil dinamismo de su composición. Una serie de plataformas de hormigón parecen flotar libremente, unas sobre otras, gracias a una estructura minuciosamente diseñada, mostrada a través de un vidrio transparente. Así pues, este artículo tiene como objetivo contribuir al conocimiento de uno de los cinco proyectos que componen los manifiestos de Mies van der Rohe para una nueva arquitectura. La valoración de la estructura como forma arquitectónica, la relación entre el diseño de la sección del edificio y la transparencia del vidrio, así como el problema de acceso al edificio y su representación, se desarrollan a lo largo del texto. Para contribuir a un mejor conocimiento de este proyecto, se analizan los documentos originales y se elabora una nueva reconstrucción gráfica de la planta del edificio.

Authors: Souza Alisson , Iriart Mirela Figueiredo Santos
Published: October 2022

A partir da abordagem Histórico-Cultural em Psicologia, o presente texto apresenta parte dos resultados de uma intervenção que buscou compreender as formas de expressão do desenho livre na Educação Infantil, as suas implicações no processo de formação das funções psicológicas superiores e as mediações docentes em grupos. Com base no aporte de pesquisa do método cartográfico foi realizada uma pesquisa-intervenção, a partir da aplicação de oficina de desenho livre numa turma da pré-escola com crianças de 5 anos. Durante a realização da oficina observou-se que a prática do desenho livre é uma atividade que precisa ser ampliada na infância, pois permite à criança a emergência e a elaboração de sentidos estéticos, verificou-se também que em torno dessa prática existem significados reducionistas inadequados que precisam ser discutidos a nível de formação docente e cultura infantil.

Isso contribuiu para que crianças e adultos brincassem e aprendessem uns com os outros enquanto aprendizes.
Educação Infantil na pandemia de COVID-19: análise empírica do retorno ao atendimento presencial em creches e pré-escolas em Recife
Authors: Silva Renan Francelino da , Gomes Neto José Mário Wandderley
Published: October 2022

Como ocorreu o retorno ao atendimento presencial nas creches e pré-escolas do Recife no contexto do Estado de Calamidade Pública de Importância Internacional provocado pelo novo Coronavírus (COVID-19)? A literatura sobre coordenação e gestão dos níveis federativos (União, Distrito Federal, Estados e Municípios) e de colaboração intersetorial envolvendo Educação Básica aponta para um comportamento político, no qual Governadores e Prefeitos têm, ao longo dessa crise sanitária, determinado o retorno gradual das atividades presenciais em creches e pré-escolas, em detrimento da alta taxa de casos de COVID-19. Este artigo pretende analisar qualitativamente, através de estudo de caso, os decretos expedidos pelo município de Recife sobre a suspensão e retomada das atividades presenciais, a fim de compreender como a circunstância excepcional de calamidade pública afetou a estratégia delas referente à volta das atividades na primeira etapa educacional em tal município. Conclui-se que tal expediente de crise sanitária influenciou a trajetória legislativa na esfera Municipal e Estadual de Pernambuco e que, na cidade recifense, a decisão sobre o retorno gradual às atividades presenciais foi política, e não técnica.
A infância medicalizada: um estudo sobre a constituição da criança com queixa escolar
Authors: Vieira de Souza Simone
Published: October 2022

Este trabalho apresenta um recorte sobre os sentidos produzidos pela criança com queixa escolar, tendo como pressupostos a Psicologia Escolar Crítica. Participaram do estudo, cinco crianças/estudantes com idade entre 12 e 13 anos, encaminhados para atendimento psicológico no serviço de psicologia de uma universidade comunitária, bem como as famílias e professoras/es dessas crianças. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e o processo metodológico enfatiza o sentido pessoal que as crianças percebem, nos atravessamentos marcados pela queixa escolar. O foco da investigação foi, assim, o ponto de vista da criança, sendo privilegiadas as mediações vividas no espaço da escola e da família. O estudo demonstra que sucessivas experiências de humilhação, exclusão e medicalização produzem sofrimento, além de atribuírem sentidos às histórias de pouco sucesso escolar. Por outro lado, evidencia-se que, quando as crianças/estudantes contam com experiências que validam a sua potência, há uma possibilidade de se estranhar no habitual lugar de incapaz e de imprimir novos sentidos a sua história.
Responsabilidad extracontractual de la Administración por falta de acceso al agua potable en comunidades rurales vulnerables: el “caso Petorca” EN CHILE
Authors: Camino Iván Obando , Vergara Javier Valdés
Published: October 2022

Resumen: Este artículo analiza la responsabilidad extracontractual de la Administración Pública chilena, derivada de la falta de acceso al agua potable para consumo humano, respecto de las comunidades rurales vulnerables que protagonizaron el denominado “caso Petorca”, resuelto en marzo de 2021 por la Corte Suprema. El trabajo persigue determinar si, en este caso, existen bases que permitan establecer una presunta responsabilidad por falta de servicio de dicha Administración, la que, de concurrir los demás elementos, harían procedente el pago de una indemnización de perjuicios en favor de las personas de dichas comunidades, como consecuencia de una actividad ilegítima vulneratoria de su derecho fundamental al agua potable.

Background and Objective: Medical cannabis is becoming an acceptable treatment modality in medicine, especially for pain relief. Concurrently, cannabis use is becoming more prevalent worldwide, a public demand-driven trend despite the lack of established scientific basis. This observational open-label study sought to investigate the effectiveness of cannabis therapy for alleviating low back pain symptoms. Methods: Two types of cannabis treatment modalities were sequentially administered to chronic low back pain patients. After an initial 1-month washout period (WO1), the first modality was cannabidiol (CBD)-rich sublingual extract treatment administered for 10 months. Following another washout period, the second modality, Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-rich smoked inflorescence (whole dried cannabis flowers) was administered for 12 months. Results: Enrolled in the study were 24 patients whose advanced imaging studies (i.e. computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine) revealed disc herniation or spinal stenosis. Three patients dropped out of extract therapy treatment but resumed study participation to receive THC-rich smoking therapy. After a minimum of 2 years, cannabis therapy had reduced lower back pain symptoms, as assessed by Oswestry Disability Index, the SF-12 patient-reported outcome questionnaire, and the visual analogue scale. Pain reduction was not significant during the extract treatment part of the study; however, pain reduction was significant during the inhaled therapy part of the study. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that inhaled THC-rich therapy is more effective than CBD-rich sublingual extract therapy for treating low back pain and that cannabis therapy is safe and effective for chronic low back pain.
The Language of Czech Popular Broadside Ballads: Revisiting the Low
Authors: Pleskalová Jana , Navrátilová Olga
Published: October 2022

This chapter is devoted to the language of Czech broadside ballads. The
authors here examine the opinions about the “lowly” language of broadside
ballads that have prevailed among Czech linguists and literary scholars
during the twentieth century. They claim that the language of broadside
ballads does not differ substantially from that of other texts, even of the
elite, from the same era. However, they do find substantial linguistic
differences when comparing older printed ballads (of the seventeenth
century) and newer ones (of the eighteenth century) as well as religious
and secular broadside ballads.
Una relación en discordia: la base de cotización máxima y el tope de la pensión pública
Authors: De las Heras Camino Alicia
Published: October 2022

En este artículo se hace un estudio de la evolución experimentada por la base de cotización máxima y el tope máximo de la pensión pública con la finalidad de analizar cuantitativamente, y con un caso real, las repercusiones que la diferente evolución de estas dos magnitudes ha supuesto y supondrá en las pensiones a percibir por los beneficiarios del sistema de Seguridad Social. Este análisis se realiza teniendo en cuenta las modificaciones introducidas por la Ley 27/2011, de 1 de agosto, sobre la actualización, adecuación y modernización del sistema de Seguridad Social, y a tenor del contenido de sus disposiciones adicionales.
Adicionalmente, se muestra qué importes alcanzarían estas dos magnitudes esenciales en el actual sistema de Seguridad Social si su comportamiento hubiese sido el experimentado en otras magnitudes de orden económico, tales como el índice de precios al consumo, el producto interior bruto y el coste salarial, analizando su incidencia en las cuentas de la Seguridad Social.
Las emociones en el lugar de trabajo: una propuesta de análisis y de evaluación del «trabajo emocional»
Authors: Mababu Mukiur Richard
Published: October 2022

Este trabajo analiza la importancia de las emociones en el lugar de trabajo, poniendo énfasis en las dimensiones del trabajo emocional (TE) recogidas a través del estudio de fiabilidad y validez factorial del cuestionario de trabajo emocional (TREMO). Además, determina la relación entre el TE y el desgaste profesional (burnout). El TE hace referencia a la expresión de las emociones deseables para influir en las relaciones con los clientes o usuarios, y tiende a generar el burnout como respuesta al estrés crónico interpersonal y emocional en el trabajo. La muestra de este estudio está constituida por 615 participantes del sector de hostelería y turismo. Se han utilizado principalmente el análisis factorial exploratorio y el confirmatorio como las principales técnicas para estudiar la fiabilidad y validez del cuestionario TREMO. Las correlaciones y el análisis de regresión jerárquica han sido utilizados para determinar la relación existente entre las dimensiones del TE y el burnout. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que los análisis de fiabilidad y validez factorial del cuestionario TREMO presentan datos psicométricos adecuados para la evaluación del TE. En la misma línea, determinan cinco dimensiones del TE en que la dimensión «normas organizacionales» explica cerca del 19 % de la varianza explicada. Las dimensiones del TE se revelan también buenas predictoras del desgaste profesional. Además, este estudio presenta unas correlaciones significativas entre el TE y el burnout.

En la actualidad las organizaciones operan en entornos cada vez más complejos, inestables y con escasez de recursos. Esto les obliga a mantener e incrementar la competitividad a través de su capacidad para aprender y adaptarse. La evolución del pensamiento estratégico hizo que las distintas corrientes mostraran focos de atención diferenciados. Por ejemplo, en las últimas décadas, el entorno competitivo o los recursos y capacidades. En el marco de un estudio para mejorar la competitividad de las empresas del sector de instalaciones eléctricas y telecomunicaciones, este trabajo analiza el papel que el entorno, la estrategia o la cultura juegan en el proceso de alineación organizacional. Por otro lado, desde un enfoque cibernético, también se analiza la capacidad de estas organizaciones para adaptarse a los cambios en el entorno.
La crisis económica y su influencia en el estatuto jurídico de los empleados públicos
Authors: Tolosa Tribiño César
Published: October 2022

La crisis económica está afectando a todos los sectores sociales y también al campo de las relaciones jurídicas. La necesidad de reducir el déficit público ha llevado a las distintas Administraciones a la adopción de nuevas políticas en materia de empleo público con la finalidad de reducir los costes correspondientes a la partida de personal. Se han producido, con tal finalidad, importantes modificaciones en el marco del estatuto jurídico de los empleados públicos, tanto del personal funcionario como del laboral, al servicio de las Administraciones Públicas, introduciéndose novedades y modificaciones legislativas que afectan no solo a la materia retributiva, sino también a cuestiones de otra naturaleza, como jornada de trabajo, derechos sindicales, etc.
La novedad más destacada es la incorporación de normas que permiten a la Administración, a la vista de la nueva situación, desvincularse de los pactos, acuerdos y convenios, que habían suscrito con los representantes de los empleados públicos, mecanismo que otorga a la Administración un instrumento sumamente amplio para modificar a la baja las condiciones laborales de las que venían disfrutando los empleados públicos, esencialmente el personal laboral.
Algunas de estas medidas ya han empezado a ser objeto de control por parte de los Tribunales ordinarios y otras, las que han planteado dudas de constitucionalidad, esperan el veredicto definitivo del Tribunal Constitucional.
La gestión del reconocimiento en la Administración Pública
Authors: Padilla Ruiz Pedro
Published: October 2022

En una época de recortes salariales y sociales a los empleados públicos, y sin perder de vista que el principal «aliciente» y motivación en cualquier trabajo es el sueldo, sería adecuado recordar que existen otras formas de incentivar el buen desempeño y la productividad sin que tengan la repercusión en los capítulos de personal que pudiera pensarse y que benefician tanto al empleado como a la organización.
Vamos a estudiar brevemente estos sistemas, que pueden aportar valor añadido al trabajo, mejoran la eficacia y eficiencia, ayudan a crear clima laboral, cultura organizacional y consiguen ser potentes herramientas de motivación sin un gran coste para las Administraciones Públicas, conectados también con la evaluación del desempeño, como instrumento de mejora del servicio público.
