Published: December 2020

Agriculture is responsible for generating large amounts of waste that are not adequately managed in terms of their environmental treatment and economic administration. This work uses giant reed, which was traditionally used as a construction material in eastern areas of Spain. Nowadays, it is no longer used, which has led to its rapid, autonomous, uncontrolled proliferation on river banks, making it a serious environmental hazard because this plant causes significant blockages of bridges and other infrastructure when uprooted by the strong currents that occur as rivers flood. The aim of this work is to develop wood and giant reed particleboards, which help to counter the high dependence on wood in industrial manufacturing by using an easily renewable resource. It will thereby be possible to achieve two general objectives: controlling the growth of a weed and obtaining a product (particleboards) from a waste material. Particleboards containing 9% urea formaldehyde composed of different proportions of sawmill wood and giant reed (0, 50, 70 and 100%) have been manufactured by applying two different pressures (2.1 and 2.6 MPa) and a temperature of 120 °C for 4 min in a hot plate press. Density, thickness swelling (TS) and water absorption (WA) after immersion in water, modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), internal bonding strength (IB) and screw holding strength (SH) have been tested according to european norms (EN) for wood boards. With the addition of 70% reed particles, the density, MOR and TS decrease and the MOE, IB and SH increase; therefore, adding giant reed particles to wood boards can improve their properties, bringing about considerable industrial and environmental benefits.

Published: December 2020

The long-term expansion and the evolution of town planning of a contemporary European metropolis (Athens, Greece) has been analysed in this study in order to evaluate how sustainable urban growth has been taken into account in sequential strategic master plans. During the last decades, the mostly unplanned urban growth and massive housing construction have favoured a slow evolution towards a less compact and mono-centric spatial asset, typical of several Mediterranean cities. Despite efforts to guide urban growth, a series of structural challenges have remained: (i) a gap between planning and implementation; (ii) a gap between spatial planning and socio-economic planning; (iii) a relevant pressure on natural environment; (iv) a lack of participatory planning. In order to face these problems, current strategies for the city of Athens try to foster city resilience providing guidelines for more sustainable management of the built and natural landscape. In particular, the Resilience Strategy for 2030 proposes a list of actions to improve the well-being of citizens and to increase sustainability at the urban and territorial levels. A major role was given to the enhancement of the environmental quality of the metropolitan area and to the involvement of inhabitants in the various phases of decision-making.
Improving the Accessibility of the Tourism Industry in New Zealand
Authors: Cockburn-Wootten Cheryl , McIntosh Alison
Published: December 2020

Internationally, the accessible tourism market has been identified as a growing segment that could lead the way for social inclusiveness, as well as providing the industry with financial gains and destination competitiveness. Despite the increased number of people who travel with access requirements, the sector still lacks an understanding of the expectations and experiences of access tourists. Accessible tourism covers an array of impairments from people who are immobile, visually impaired, an invisible impairment, parents with pushchairs, and seniors. The purpose of this study was to understand the expectations and experiences of the access consumer to suggest improvements for accessibility for the New Zealand tourism sector. The social model of disability was adopted to examine the sector and framed the semi-structured interviews with access consumers. Key results identified from the data were the need to achieve dignity in service offerings to gain experiences that facilitate independence and equity of access, access to information before the travel that is clear and accurate to aid planning, and accessible transport and education. In conclusion, the paper calls for the New Zealand tourism industry to align with the Disability Strategy sustainability goals to achieve equity and inclusion and create enjoyable accessible experiences in their tourist offerings.
Gender and Sustainability: Learning from Women’s Farming in Africa
Authors: Glazebrook Tricia , Opoku Emmanuela
Published: December 2020

Africa was the only continent not to achieve the 2015 Millennium Development Goal of 50% poverty reduction. This paper asks whether Africa will fare better in meeting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) addressing poverty and hunger by 2030. To answer this question, we examine a diverse body of literature and provide relevant longitudinal data collected over 13 years of field research. We find that ‘sustainable development’ is a failed concept immersed in the contemporary global economic system that favors growth over ecosystem stability and international institutions that undervalue women’s capacity for sustainability in their care-work as food providers. We examine barriers to women’s farming (climate change, gender bias, limited access to land, technology, finance) and provide examples of women’s innovative strategies for overcoming barriers in their care practices toward family and community well-being and ecosystem health. We find that Africa will likely repeat past failures without community-level interventions that empower women to achieve SDGs on poverty, hunger, gender equity, and ecosystem management. We uncover similar holistic thinking in women’s agricultural practices and scientific conception of ‘ecosystem services’.
Disaster Risk Reduction in Bushfire Prone Areas: Challenges for an Integrated Land Use Planning Policy Regime
Authors: Ruane Simone , Swapan Mohammad Shahidul Hasan , Babb Courtney
Published: December 2020

The need for an integrated approach to disaster risk reduction (DRR) is widely promoted across the contemporary disaster literature and policy discourse. In Australia, the importance of integrating bushfire management and land use planning systems is a growing priority as bushfire risk in urbanized areas increases. This paper examines the changing policy landscape towards an integrated DRR regime for land use planning and bushfire management in south-west Western Australia. The research is based on a qualitative analysis of policy documents and in-depth interviews with policy actors associated with this regime. The results identify several challenges of policy integration for an integrated land use planning and bushfire management DRR regime, including incompatible worldviews, sectorial objectives and knowledge sets. A lack of cross-sectoral understanding, different risk tolerances and instrument preferences also constrained integration efforts. Based on our findings, we argue that rule-based mechanisms, which establish a legal framework for integration, are necessary when different policy goals and worldviews prevail between policy sectors. However, we conclude by emphasizing the value of actor-based mechanisms for integrated DRR policy regimes, which enable ongoing cross-sectoral communication and policy learning and facilitate a systems-oriented perspective of disaster resilience in the built environment.
Using Deep Learning and Machine Learning Methods to Diagnose Hailstorms in Large-Scale Thermodynamic Environments
Authors: Pulukool Farha , Li Longzhuang , Liu Chuntao
Published: December 2020

Hailstorms have caused damages in billions of dollars to industrial, electronic, and mechanical properties such as automobiles, buildings, roads, and aircrafts, as well as life threats to crop and cattle populations, due to their hazardous nature. Hence, the relevance of predicting hailstorms in the future has significant scientific, economic, and societal benefits. However, climate models do not have adequate resolutions to explicitly resolve these subscale phenomena. One solution is to estimate the probability of these storms by using large-scale atmospheric thermodynamic environment variables from climate model outputs, but the existing methods only carried out experiments on small datasets limited to a region, country, or location and a large number of input features. Using one year of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) observations and European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis Interim (ERA-Interim) reanalysis on a global scale, this paper develops two deep-learning-based models (an autoencoder and convolutional neural network (CNN)) as well as a machine learning approach (random forest) for hailstorm prediction by using only four attributes—convective potential energy, convective inhibition, 1–3 km wind shear, and warm cloud depth. In the experiments, the random forest approach produces the best hailstorm prediction performance compared to the other two methods.

Published: December 2020

Saving money and time are very important in any research project, so we must find a way to decrease the time of the experiment. This method is called the accelerated life tests (ALT) under censored samples, which is a very efficient method to reduce time, which leads to a decrease in the cost of the experiment. This research project includes inference on Lindley distribution in a simple step-stress ALT for the Type II progressive censored sample. The paper contains two major sections, which are a simulation study and a real-data application on the experimental design of an industry experiment on lamps. These sections are used to conduct results on the study of the distribution. The simulation was done using Mathematica 11 program. To use real data in the censored sample, we fitted them to be compatible with the Lindley distribution using the modified Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) goodness of fit test for progressive Type II censored data. We used the tampered random variable (TRV) acceleration model to generate early failures of items under stress. We also found the values of the distribution parameter and the accelerating factor using the maximum likelihood estimation of (MLEs) and Bayes estimates (BEs) using symmetric loss function for both simulated data and real data. Next, we estimated the upper and lower bounds of the parameters using three methods, namely approximate confidence intervals (CIs), Bootstrap CIs, and credible CIs, for both parameters of the distribution, ψ and ζ. Finally, we found the value of the parameter for the real data set under normal use conditions and stress conditions and graphed the reliability functions under normal and accelerated use.

Authors: Khater Mostafa M. A. , Baleanu Dumitru , Mohamed Mohamed S.
Published: December 2020

The accuracy of novel lump solutions of the potential form of the three–dimensional potential Yu–Toda–Sasa–Fukuyama (3-Dp-YTSF) equation is investigated. These solutions are obtained by employing the extended simplest equation (ESE) and modified Kudryashov (MKud) schemes to explore its lump and breather wave solutions that characterizes the dynamics of solitons and nonlinear waves in weakly dispersive media, plasma physics, and fluid dynamics. The accuracy of the obtained analytical solutions is investigated through the perspective of numerical and semi-analytical strategies (septic B-spline (SBS) and variational iteration (VI) techniques). Additionally, matching the analytical and numerical solutions is represented along with some distinct types of sketches. The superiority of the MKud is showed as the fourth research paper in our series that has been beginning by Mostafa M. A. Khater and Carlo Cattani with the title “Accuracy of computational schemes”. The functioning of employed schemes appears their effectual and ability to apply to different nonlinear evolution equations.
The Brain’s Asymmetric Frequency Tuning: Asymmetric Behavior Originates from Asymmetric Perception

Published: December 2020

To construct a coherent multi-modal percept, vertebrate brains extract low-level features (such as spatial and temporal frequencies) from incoming sensory signals. However, because frequency processing is lateralized with the right hemisphere favouring low frequencies while the left favours higher frequencies, this introduces asymmetries between the hemispheres. Here, we describe how this lateralization shapes the development of several cognitive domains, ranging from visuo-spatial and numerical cognition to language, social cognition, and even aesthetic appreciation, and leads to the emergence of asymmetries in behaviour. We discuss the neuropsychological and educational implications of these emergent asymmetries and suggest future research approaches.

Published: December 2020

Fescue toxicosis is a multifaceted syndrome common in cattle grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue; however, varying symptomatic responses potentially imply genetic tolerance to the syndrome. It was hypothesized that a subpopulation of animals within a herd would develop tolerance to ergot alkaloid toxicity. Therefore, the goals of this study were to develop selection criteria to identify tolerant and susceptible animals within a herd based on animal performance, and then examine responsive phenotypic and cytokine profiles to fescue toxicosis. Angus cows grazed endophyte-infected tall fescue at two locations for 13 weeks starting in mid-April 2016. Forage measurements were collected to evaluate ergot alkaloid exposure during the study. A post hoc analysis of animal performance was utilized to designate cattle into either tolerant or susceptible groups, and weekly physiological measurements and blood samples were collected to evaluate responses to chronic exposure to endophyte-infected tall fescue. Findings from this study support the proposed fescue toxicosis selection method formulated herein, could accurately distinguish between tolerant and susceptible animals based on the performance parameters in cattle chronically exposed to ergot alkaloids, and provides evidence to warrant additional analysis to examine the impact of ergot alkaloids on immune responsiveness in cattle experiencing fescue toxicosis.

Whole IgG antivenoms are prepared from hyperimmune animal plasma by various refinement strategies. The ones most commonly used at industrial scale are precipitation by sodium or ammonium sulphate (ASP), and caprylic acid precipitation (CAP) of non-immunoglobulin proteins. The additional procedures, which have so far been used for experimental purposes only, are anion-exchange (AEX) and cation-exchange chromatography (CEX), as well as affinity chromatography (AC) using IgG’s Fc-binding ligands. These protocols extract the whole IgG fraction from plasma, which contains both venom-specific and therapeutically irrelevant antibodies. Such preparations represent a complex mixture of various IgG subclasses whose functional and/or structural properties, as well as relative distribution, might be affected differently, depending on employed purification procedure. The aim of this work was to compare the influence of aforementioned refinement strategies on the IgG subclass distribution, venom-specific protective efficacy, thermal stability, aggregate formation and retained impurity profile of the final products. A unique sample of Vipera ammodytes ammodytes specific hyperimmune horse plasma was used as a starting material, enabling direct comparison of five purification approaches. The highest purity was achieved by CAP and AC (above 90% in a single step), while the lowest aggregate content was present in samples from AEX processing. Albumin was the main contaminant in IgG preparations obtained by ASP and CEX, while transferrin dominantly contaminated IgG sample from AEX processing. Alpha-1B-glycoprotein was present in CAP IgG fraction, as well as in those from ASP- and AEX-based procedures. AC approach induced the highest loss of IgG(T) subclass. CEX and AEX showed the same tendency, while CAP and ASP had almost no impact on subclass distribution. The shift in IgG subclass composition influenced the specific protective efficacy of the respective final preparation as measured in vivo. AC and CEX remarkably affected drug’s venom-neutralization activity, in contrary to the CAP procedure, that preserved protective efficacy of the IgG fraction. Presented data might improve the process of designing and establishing novel downstream processing strategies and give guidance for optimization of the current ones by providing information on potency-protecting and purity-increasing properties of each purification principle.

Published: December 2020

Research on the ability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to bind aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) has mostly been focusing on lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. In this study, the AFB1 binding capacities of 20 Enterococcus strains belonging to E. casseliflavus, E. faecalis, E. faecium, E. hirae, E. lactis, and E. mundtii, 24 Pediococcus strains belonging to species P. acidilactici, P. lolii, P. pentosaceus, and P. stilesii, one strain of Lactococcus formosensis and L.garviae, and 3 strains of Weissella soli were investigated in MRS broth at 37 °C at 0.2 µg/mL mycotoxin concentration. According to our results, among non-lactobacilli LAB, the genera with the best AFB1 binding abilities were genus Pediococcus, with a maximum binding percentage of 7.6% by P. acidilactici OR83, followed by genus Lactococcus. For AFB1 bio-detoxification purposes, beside lactobacilli, pediococci can also be chosen, but it is important to select a strain with better binding properties than the average value of its genus. Five Pediococcus strains have been selected to compare their sterigmatocystin (ST) binding abilities to AFB1 binding, and a 2–3-fold difference was obtained similar to previous findings for lactobacilli. The best strain was P. acidilactici OR83 with 18% ST binding capacity. This is the first report on ST binding capabilities of non-Lactobacillus LAB strains.

Italy was one of the first countries to experience a major epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), with >1000 cases confirmed by 1 March 2020. However, virus genome sequence data is sparse and there has been only limited investigation of virus transmission across the country. Here, we provide the most extensive study to date of the genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Italy covering the first wave of infection. We generated 191 new full-length genomes, largely sampled from central Italy (Abruzzo), before, during, and after the enforcement of a nationwide “lockdown” (8 March–3 June). These were combined with 460 published SARS-CoV-2 sequences sampled across Italy. Phylogenetic analysis including global sequence data revealed multiple independent introductions into Italy, with at least 124 instances of sequence clusters representing longer chains of transmission. Eighteen of these transmission clusters emerged before the nation-wide lockdown was implemented on 8 March, and an additional 18 had evidence for transmission between different Italian regions. Extended transmission periods between infections of up to 104 days were observed in five clusters. In addition, we found seven clusters that persisted throughout the lockdown period. Overall, we show how importations were an important driver of the first wave of SARS-CoV-2 in Italy.

Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV), a highly contagious agent, is widespread and causes acute upper respiratory tract disease in chickens and turkeys. However, currently, there is no vaccine licensed in China. Herein, we describe the development of an inactivated aMPV/B vaccine using the aMPV/B strain LN16. Combined with a novel adjuvant containing immune-stimulating complexes (ISCOMs), the novel vaccine could induce high virus-specific and VN antibodies. In addition, it activated B and T lymphocytes and promoted the expression of IL-4 and IFN-γ. Importantly, boosting vaccination with the inactivated aMPV/B vaccine could provide 100% protection against aMPV/B infection with reduced virus shedding and turbinate inflammation. The protection efficacy could last for at least 6 months. This study yielded a novel inactivated aMPV/B vaccine that could serve as the first vaccine candidate in China, thus contributing to the control of aMPV/B and promoting the development of the poultry industry.
A Comprehensive Review of the Immunological Response against Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Infection and Its Evasion Mechanisms

Published: December 2020

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease, which has been reported for over 100 years, and against which the struggle has lasted for the same amount of time. It affects individuals from the order Artiodactyla, such as cattle, swine, sheep, wild animals from this order, and a few non-cloven hoofed species, such as mice and elephants. FMD causes large-scale economic losses for agricultural production systems; morbidity is almost 100% in an affected population, accompanied by a high mortality rate in young animals due to myocarditis or an inability to suckle if a mother is ill. The aetiological agent is an Aphthovirus from the family Picornaviridae, having seven serotypes: A, O, C, SAT1, SAT2, SAT3, and Asia 1. Serotype variability means that an immune response is serospecific and vaccines are thus designed to protect against each serotype independently. A host’s adaptive immune response is key in defence against pathogens; however, this virus uses successful strategies (along with most microorganisms) enabling it to evade a host’s immune system to rapidly and efficiently establish itself within such host, and thus remain there. This review has been aimed at an in-depth analysis of the immune response in cattle and swine regarding FMD virus, the possible evasion mechanisms used by the virus and describing some immunological differences regarding these species. Such aspects can provide pertinent knowledge for developing new FMD control and prevention strategies.

Global warming in high latitudes causes destabilization of vulnerable permafrost deposits followed by massive thaw-release of organic carbon. Permafrost-derived carbon may be buried in the nearshore sediments, transported towards the deeper basins or degraded into the greenhouse gases, potentially initiating a positive feedback to climate change. In the present study, we aim to identify the sources, distribution and degradation state of organic matter (OM) stored in the surface sediments of the Laptev Sea (LS), which receives a large input of terrestrial carbon from both Lena River discharge and intense coastal erosion. We applied a suite of geochemical indicators including the Rock Eval parameters, traditionally used for the matured OM characterization, and terrestrial lipid biomarkers. In addition, we analyzed a comprehensive grain size data in order to assess hydrodynamic sedimentation regime across the LS shelf. Rock-Eval (RE) data characterize LS sedimentary OM with generally low hydrogen index (100–200 mg HC/g TOC) and oxygen index (200 and 300 CO2/g TOC) both increasing off to the continental slope. According to Tpeak values, there is a clear regional distinction between two groups (369–401 °C for the inner and mid shelf; 451–464 °C for the outer shelf). We suggest that permafrost-derived OM is traced across the shallow and mid depths with high Tpeak and slightly elevated HI values if compared to other Arctic continental margins. Molecular-based degradation indicators show a trend to more degraded terrestrial OC with increasing distance from the coast corroborating with RE results. However, we observed much less variation of the degradation markers down to the deeper sampling horizons, which supports the notion that the most active OM degradation in LS land-shelf system takes part during the cross-shelf transport, not while getting buried deeper.
Comparing Q-Tree with Nested Grids for Simulating Managed River Recharge of Groundwater
Authors: Cui Weizhe , Hao Qichen
Published: December 2020

The use of rivers to recharge groundwater is a key water resource management method. High-precision simulations of the groundwater level near rivers can be used to accurately assess the recharge effect. In this study, we used two unstructured grid refinement methods, namely, the quadtree (Q-tree) and nested grid refinement techniques, to simulate groundwater movement under river recharge. We comparatively analyzed the two refinement methods by considering the simulated groundwater level changes before and after the recharge at different distances from the river and by analyzing the groundwater flow and model computation efficiency. Compared to the unrefined model, the two unstructured grid refinement models significantly improve the simulation precision and more accurately describe groundwater level changes from river recharge. The unstructured grid refinement models have higher calculation efficiencies than the base model (the global refinement model) without compromising the simulation precision too much. The Q-tree model has a higher simulation precision and a lower computation time than the nested grid model. In summary, the Q-tree grid refinement method increases the computation efficiency while guaranteeing simulation precision at a certain extent. We therefore recommended the use of this grid refinement method in simulating river recharge to the aquifers.

Published: December 2020

Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Entwicklung von RDF-Wissensbasen in verteilten kollaborativen Szenarien zu unterstützen. In dieser Arbeit wird eine neue Methodik für verteiltes kollaboratives Knowledge Engineering – „Quit“ – vorgestellt. Sie geht davon aus, dass es notwendig ist, während des gesamten Kooperationsprozesses Dissens auszudrücken und individuelle Arbeitsbereiche für jeden Mitarbeiter bereitzustellen. Der Ansatz ist von der Git-Methodik zum kooperativen Software Engineering inspiriert und basiert auf dieser. Die Analyse des Standes der Technik zeigt, dass kein System die Git-Methodik konsequent auf das Knowledge Engineering überträgt. Die Hauptmerkmale der Quit-Methodik sind unabhängige Arbeitsbereiche für jeden Benutzer und ein gemeinsamer verteilter Arbeitsbereich für die Zusammenarbeit. Während des gesamten Kollaborationsprozesses spielt die Data-Provenance eine wichtige Rolle. Zur Unterstützung der Methodik ist der Quit-Stack als eine Sammlung von Microservices implementiert, die es ermöglichen, die Semantic-Web-Datenstruktur und Standardschnittstellen in den verteilten Kollaborationsprozess zu integrieren. Zur Ergänzung der verteilten Datenerstellung werden geeignete Methoden zur Unterstützung des Datenverwaltungsprozesses erforscht. Diese Managementprozesse sind insbesondere die Erstellung und das Bearbeiten von Daten sowie die Publikation und Exploration von Daten. Die Anwendung der Methodik wird in verschiedenen Anwendungsfällen für die verteilte Zusammenarbeit an Organisationsdaten und an Forschungsdaten gezeigt. Weiterhin wird die Implementierung quantitativ mit ähnlichen Arbeiten verglichen. Abschließend lässt sich feststellen, dass der konsequente Ansatz der Quit-Methodik ein breites Spektrum von Szenarien zum verteilten Knowledge Engineering im Semantic Web ermöglicht.

Morfología causativa en el input en toba/qom (Guaycurú): Reflexiones para la adquisición de los verbos "
Authors: Audisio Cynthia Pamela , Cúneo Paola , Ojea Gladys Liliana , Rosemberg Celia Renata
Published: December 2020

A menudo se ha llamado la atención sobre la complejidad que entraña la tarea de aprender el significado de los verbos. Investigaciones previas han estudiado la información que emplean las/os niñas/os para determinar el significado verbal. La disponibilidad de distintos tipos de información lingüística está sujeta a las características tipológicas de su lengua, pero también a su frecuencia en el input espontáneo. El toba/qom (guaycurú) exhibe estrategias de aumento o reducción de la valencia verbal que indican si el evento expresado por el verbo es causativo. En este trabajo se analizaron algunas de estas operaciones causativas y antipasivas en el input en toba/ qom a tres niños y una niña (M=1;9) de Chaco (Argentina). Se proporcionaron ejemplos de un corpus de habla espontánea (Rosemberg et al., 2015-2016). Asimismo, se estudiaron la frecuencia de estos mecanismos en el input. Los ejemplos mostraron que estos mecanismos constituyen evidencia útil para interpretar la semántica verbal. Además, ocurren con una diversidad de raíces verbales y en el input de todas/os las/os niñas/os. Sin embargo, la frecuencia de los sufijos analizados en el input es baja (menor al 5%), especialmente en el habla dirigida al/a niño/a.

The Dualistic Nature of Christ: A Comparison Study of Herman Bavinck And Ellen White Thoughts
Authors: Rumbay Christar Arstilo
Published: December 2020

Abstract: Christology has been a subject of wide discussion due the very heart of Christianity lays on this doctrine. Further, it relates directly to some core identity of believers such as soteriology, trinity and atonement. The intention of this treatise is to delve and offer alternative perspectives that may contribute to the discourse. However, the natures of Christ are one of the high attentions given.

Evolution of wage inequality in India (1983–2017): The role of occupational task content
Authors: Khurana Saloni , Mahajan Kanika
Published: December 2020

We examine data for urban workers in the non-agricultural sector across three decades, 1983–2017, and find that earnings inequality increased during 1983–2004, was largely stable during 2004–11, and decreased during 2011–17. We explore whether decline in routine jobs and change in demand for skills has shaped evolution of earnings inequality in India. We rule out earnings polarization as an explanation for rising earnings inequality during 1983–2004, and then use Shapley and recentred influence functions (RIF) decomposition methods to decompose the change in Gini into the contribution from change in worker demographics and routine task intensity and the accompanying changes in returns to these characteristics. Our results show that changes in returns to education and routine task intensity explain a small part of the trends in wage inequality. Hence, in the Indian context, institutional factors may have played a bigger role in shaping wage inequality.

Визначено, що з позицій теорії систем, соціум можнарозкласти на системні компоненти, властивості яких притаманнікрайнім станам – сукупність розімкнутої та замкнутої систем.Відмічено, що відповідно до цього замкнутій системі відповідаємеритократичний устрій суспільства, розімкнутій – охлократія.Виявлено, що існують суспільні фактори впливу на якість меритократії:інтелектуальна діяльність, системність, ідеологічна спрямованість,форма буття суспільства, людський фактор. Показано, що з розвиткомтехносфери різко зросла вага людського фактору у всіх процесахсоціальної діяльності, що обумовлює потребу відповідної зміни формисоціальних відносин та суспільного устрою.

Diferencias injustificadas
Authors: Olivos Celis Milagros K.,
Published: December 2020

Los actos jurídicos simulados no son ninguna novedad para nuestra realidad social, y muchos menos para la doctrina. Con el transcurrir del tiempo, se ha podido constatar a través de diferentes perspectivas que en más de una ocasión en un aparente acto jurídico único, hay otro acto oculto. Las razones de ello pueden variar, desde aquellas con sentido aparentemente justificable hasta aquellas que tienen un fin específico: mentir, engañar, aprovecharse de otro. Considerando de manera independientemente los conceptos de simulación, como institución jurídica y como causal de nulidad, nuestro ordenamiento jurídico ha visto la necesidad de regularlo e incluirlo en su cuerpo normativo.Este estudio pretende detallar con precisión las diferencias existentes en los conceptos de simulación adoptados por nuestro Código Civil, tanto para definirla como para sancionarla, estableciendo un paralelo entre lo regulado por el Art. 190° y 191°, que recoge la simulación como institución jurídica; y lo regulado por el Art. 219° Inc. 5 y el art. 221° Inc. 3 los cuales se refieren a la sanción de nulidad que le corresponden.
Aplicación del principio de subsidariedad estatal en el servicio de transporte terrestre
Authors: Vinces Arbulú César Martín
Published: December 2020

Debido a la distorsión existente en la regulación actual del servicio de transporte terrestre que ha generado consecuencias graves en el bien de la comunidad, el Estado, amparado en el principio de subsidiariedad estatal reconocido en la Constitución Política, debe imponer a los transportistas obligaciones de servicio público tales como prestar el servicio con universalidad, continuidad, a un precio asequible y bajo un régimen de protección específica para los usuarios. Para ello se parte del análisis histórico y conceptual del principio de subsidiariedad estatal a fin de demostrar su relevancia en el derecho regulatorio del sector de transporte terrestre

El derecho concursal en la crisis global
Authors: Dasso Ariel Angel
Published: December 2020

La historia de la economía es la crónica de la zozobra. La época de la manufactura mercantil en Europa fue testigo de sus albores pero después la era industrial lo transformó, asentando su poder sobre el derecho de propiedad absoluto y en un marco en que los trabajadores pasaron a ser desde el inicio la clase débil y sometida. Marx marcó la historia y en concordancia con Engels produjeron la influyente literatura que anticipó la revolución rusa.

El Control Previo de las Concentraciones Empresariales en una Economía Social de Mercado – Análisis del Caso Peruano.
Authors: Olivos Celis Milagros
Published: December 2020

La concentración de empresas es un instrumento de integración que tiene como resultado final la creación de grandes unidades económicas capaces de competir en un mercado determinado. No obstante, en algunas ocasiones, estas estrategias pueden ocasionar que la estructura del mercado se distorsione, causando perjuicios para sus actores.Desde la perspectiva del Derecho de la Competencia, los efectos de las concentraciones empresariales pueden percibirse de dos formas; a través del análisis ex ante (control de estructuras) y del control ex post (control de conductas). Ambos mecanismos constituyen el modelo de defensa de la competencia más empleado a nivel mundial.Sin embargo la legislación peruana no ha implementado de forma integral este modelo,por lo que según nuestra regulación se carece de mecanismos legales que limiten o puedan cuestionar concentraciones que afecten o tengan la potencialidad de restringir o distorsionar la competencia en el mercado.
