Konsep Industrialisasi dan Transformasi Struktural di Indonesia
Authors: Rifdatul Hanifah  , Muhammad Yasin
Published: June 2024

Regional economic development is closely related to changes and transformations of economic structures. There are four main aspects of economic development, namely growth, poverty alleviation, economic transformation, and sustainable development from an agrarian to industrial society. In Indonesia, economic development has encouraged growth and changes in economic structure, which are closely related. Structural transformation, namely the transition from the agricultural sector to the industrial or service sector, is a characteristic feature of developing countries. It involves changes in demand, trade, production, and other factors aimed at increasing per capita income and societal welfare. State-controlled industrialization policies have intellectual roots in the 19th century and have been the main strategy in many developing countries, including Indonesia since 1969. This strategy succeeded in shifting the economic focus from the agricultural sector to the industrial and service sectors, which also involved social transformation in addition to transformation. economy. Industrialization is defined as a significant socio-economic change, from a pre-industrial stage with low per capita income to a more advanced industrial stage.

Published: June 2024

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas which often manifests as a mild disease but can be associated with high morbidity and mortality. Drug-induced AP is rare and most likely underdiagnosed. Vedolizumab is a human monoclonal antibody with gut-selective integrin antagonist effect, and it is used for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Budesonid is a glucocorticoid which is released in the colon and it is also used in IBD treatment. This is a case report where vedolizumab or budesonide caused acute pancreatitis in a young man with ulcerative colitis.

Authors: Jensen Per , Tsiropoulos Ioannis
Published: June 2024

About 40 % of new-onset epilepsy is drug refractory. If epilepsy surgery is not an option or fails, vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) can be considered. VNS efficacy is reported as more than 50 % seizure frequency reduction in 50-56 % of patients. Features in the newer models offer additional treatment optimization possibilities. Side effects include hoarseness, cough, and dyspnoea. Caution is advised for patients with sleep apnoea or lung disease. VNS has specific limitations concerning MRI. This review presents an overview of VNS treatment in Denmark and discusses future challenges.
Initiating Mental Health Services for Youth Involved in the Juvenile Justice System in Indonesia: Lessons from the US Systems of Care
Authors: Juwita Agustin Br Tobing Septy
Published: June 2024

The children’s mental health service has become an inseparable part of the juvenile justice system in developed countries. The United States has successfully reformed the children’s mental health system by utilizing the systems of care framework, embracing its principles and values in the juvenile’s mental health treatments. In contrary, Indonesia as a developing country is still struggling with finding the directions and determining the mental health services framework to design mental health programs, policies, treatments, and services. The juvenile justice system in this country even has no concept of the importance of providing the mental health services for the juveniles. Therefore, this paper aims to examine and to explain the possible efforts that can be implemented in Indonesia by learning from the systems of care practice in the US related to the juvenile mental health services.
[Pelayanan kesehatan mental anak menjadi bagian yang tak terpisahkan dalam sistem peradilan bagi remaja di negara maju. Amerika Serikat telah berhasil mereformasi sistem kesehatan mental anak dengan memanfaatkan kerangka berpikir sistem perawatan (systems of care), menganut prinsip-prinsip dan nilai-nilai yang terkanding di dalamnya dalam perawatan kesehatan mental remaja. Sebaliknya, Indonesia sebagai negara berkembang masih berjuang untuk menemukan arah serta menentukan kerangka berpikir pelayanan kesehatan mental untuk digunakan dalam menyusun program, kebijakan, perawatan, dan pelayanan kesehatan mental. Sistem peradilan bagi remaja di negara ini bahkan tidak menyebutkan konsep tentang pentingnya menyediakan pelayanan kesehatan mental bagi remaja. Oleh karena itu, makalah ini bertujuan untuk membahas dan menjelaskan upaya yang memungkinkan untuk diterapkan di Indonesia dengan belajar dari praktek sistem perawatan di Amerika Serikat terkait dengan layanan kesehatan mental remaja.]
Religious Movements in Some Southeast Asian Countries at The Beginning of the 20th Century
Authors: Thao Ton Viet
Published: June 2024

Southeast Asia is an economic and culturally rich hub, one of the cradles of human history where diverse and vibrant cultures converge. Particularly, the religious landscape in Southeast Asian countries at the beginning of the 20th century vividly manifested in the movements against colonialism and imperialistic invasions by various nations. Class conflicts within society, coupled with unresolved contradictions, and the hardships of life in a tumultuous social context, led people to turn to religion. The study analyzes the characteristics of religious movements in some Southeast Asian countries in the early 20th century, thereby drawing some conclusions about religious movements in Southeast Asian countries in the early 20th century. In the process of approaching the problem, the author uses research methods such as text analysis, logic-history, unity between synchronic and diachronic perspectives, and analysis-synthesis... These research methods are applied by the author in a consistent dialectical manner to provide a comprehensive and specific research approach suitable to the current task. Developing humanistic values in religion will play an important role in preventing all personality corruption and helping people adjust their behavior and social relationships, contributing to stabilizing social order and safety. Religious movements in Southeast Asian countries in the early twentieth century contributed to spreading noble humanistic values in religion.

The interplay of bureaucratic, humanistic work environment and organizational commitment
Authors: Apollo Estrella , Acidera Editha , Pellogo Restita
Published: June 2024

The study aimed to examine the interplay of bureaucratic, humanistic work environments and the organizational commitment of employees. To deepen the concepts of the study, literatures were reviewed. The study used a descriptive assessment and correlational research design. The population of the study were the employees of the Divine Word College of Laoag. To gather the data, validated questionnaires were used and weighted mean and Pearson r correlation were used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that the bureaucratic environment is higher than the humanistic environment which is at a moderate level and the organizational commitment of employees is also high. The correlation analysis demonstrates that there is no correlation between the bureaucratic, humanistic work environment and the organizational commitment of the employees. The higher organizational commitment is not caused by the work environment as suggested in the study, but it may be caused by other factors that are not considered in the current study. Thus, it is important to conduct other studies to investigate other factors like psychological factors and organizational factors that affect organizational commitment.
Deporte y prensa socialista: una comparación en el abordaje de dos corrientes trotskistas argentinas (1995-2020)
Authors: Ibarrola David
Published: June 2024

Recuperando los relevamientos y conclusiones de trabajos previos, el objetivo de este artículo es realizar una comparación en el abordaje que dos corrientes de la izquierda trotskista argentina hacen del deporte, entre 1995 y 2020. Esto se realizará mediante la lectura de sus periódicos oficiales: por un lado, Prensa Obrera (1995-2019) y Política Obrera (2019-2020); y por otro Rebelión de los Trabajadores (1995-1996), La Verdad Obrera (1996-2015) y La Izquierda Diario (2015-2020). El trabajo comparativo se ordenará en tres ejes: el papel del mercado, los barras bravas y el género, tópicos de gran importancia para los estudios sociales del deporte y la Argentina contemporánea. Se concluye la existencia de importantes similitudes entre ambas corrientes, pero también de diferencias en torno a la presencia de colaboradores externos y los debates con ellos, la estructuración de las respectivas publicaciones, además de diferencias políticas entre ambas fuerzas.Identificador permanente (ARK): http://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18535925/4tfmp6br5
¿Vivir de la literatura? Condiciones del trabajo literario en el Río de la Plata
Authors: Simonetti Paula
Published: June 2024

El presente artículo analiza las condiciones de trabajo, los desafíos y las dinámicas que configuran la producción literaria, entre escritores contemporáneos en las ciudades de Buenos Aires y Montevideo. Los escritores representan un caso ejemplar del doble movimiento de profesionalización y precarización característico de los sectores culturales a nivel internacional. Además, los bajos niveles de codificación del oficio de escritor/a refuerzan la importancia de prácticas informales que regulan la vida literaria y sus condiciones materiales de ejercicio. Existe un vacío en el conocimiento de los fundamentos sociales, materiales y simbólicos de la producción literaria actual en la región, así como de las dinámicas específicas del trabajo artístico y cultural. Este artículo se propone realizar un aporte en ambos sentidos. Para ello, implementamos una encuesta que alcanzó a 147 escritores y escritoras. Entre los resultados, se destaca la presencia extendida de la "doble vida", donde la escritura ocupa un sitio marginal entre las ocupaciones que proveen sostén económico. Además, se revelan disparidades de género en términos de publicaciones y reconocimientos, se explora la relación entre las y los escritores y el mundo editorial, así como las tensiones en mercados culturales que a menudo no reconocen ni remuneran adecuadamente el trabajo. Este estudio se inscribe en discusiones más amplias sobre el valor, reconocimiento y condiciones laborales en el trabajo artístico y cultural en sociedades contemporáneas.ORCID iD: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8924-0358Identificador permanente (ARK): http://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18535925/xsq8gos1r
Panorámica e instantáneas del ocio en la Ciudad Paisaje (Paraná, Entre Ríos)
Authors: Ferretty Emmanuel
Published: June 2024

Este artículo describe prácticas deportivas y recreativas realizadas en espacios públicos urbanos, periurbanos y agrestes en la ciudad de Paraná (capital de la provincia de Entre Ríos), durante el tiempo libre de habitantes y visitantes, con el propósito de comprenderlas como modos particulares de apropiación y de producción de lo público-urbano. Además, desde una conceptualización crítica del ocio, se entiende que estas prácticas expresan determinadas significaciones y emociones públicas en relación con políticas y matrices culturales que delinean sus condiciones de posibilidad.La metáfora visual de un paneo general con enfoques particulares explica la dinámica del texto. Este comienza con una panorámica de Paraná como ciudad intermedia del litoral y de la región centro de Argentina. Luego se desarrolla a través de algunas prácticas que son consideradas casos ejemplares para construir un perfil del ocio en esta ciudad, es decir, para describir cuestiones en común y heterogeneidades desde apropiaciones diferenciales del espacio público urbano, tensiones entre políticas estatales o intervenciones gubernamentales y agencias socio-comunitarias, en un proceso de mercantilización creciente tanto del espacio urbano como del deporte, de la recreación y de la actividad física.Por estas razones, se asume una perspectiva en comunicación/cultura que apunta a problematizar lo público y lo urbano a través del ocio y a comprender cómo se configuran recíprocamente desde sus sinergias, tensiones y conflictos, en un marco de relaciones y efectos de poder. Esta perspectiva se potencia con un enfoque etnográfico encarnado que describe los saberes incorporados y puestos en movimiento en interlocuciones corporales, analizadas desde estudios y métodos móviles.Identificador permanente (ARK): http://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18535925/lqfzrkr3o

The Influence of Perceived Usefulness on Adoption of Mobile Money Services Among Small and Medium Enterprises in Tanzania: A Case of Njombe Town Council
Authors: Mwasyeba Brown , Kagata Lazaro
Published: June 2024

Mobile Money Services play a key role in aiding financial inclusion for unbanked Small and Medium Enterprises. Despite the fact that Mobile Money Services were introduced long ago in Tanzania, most Small and Medium Enterprises hesitate to adopt Mobile Money Services. This study focused on assessing the influence of perceived usefulness on the adoption of Mobile Money Services among Small and Medium Enterprise in Tanzania. Perceived usefulness included attributes such as time-saving, effectiveness, performance, and business control. A total of 351 respondents (comprised of Small and Medium Enterprises owners and their workers) were administered a well-structured questionnaire. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used to analyse data using both multiple liner regression and binary logistic regression. Results showed that perceived usefulness has a strong influence on the adoption of Mobile Money Services among Small and Medium Enterprises. Additionally, both perceived usefulness attributes, when combined, contribute to the adoption of Mobile Money Services among Small and Medium Enterprises. The study recommended that the government develop policies to ensure the availability and accessibility of mobile money services within the economy's financial system.
Histological Identification of Germline Stem Cells’ Recipients for Conservation of Balkan Trout Fish Species by Transplantation Technology
Authors: Shimo Samwel S.
Published: June 2024

Combining cryopreservation of germline stem cells (GSCs) with their subsequent transplantation into recipient fish is a powerful technique for long-term conservation of the genetic resources of threatened fish species. However, transplantation of GSCs has been limited by a failure to identify an appropriate recipient for surrogate production of donor-derived gametes. In the worst-case scenario, recipients may completely reject the transplanted GSCs due to an immunological reaction. This limitation can be overcome by specifying the gonadal status of both GSC donor and recipient species. This study used histological methods to identify possible GSC recipients for rescuing endangered trout fish species on the Balkan Peninsula. The study specified the gonadal status of brown trout, triploid rainbow trout, and tiger trout. The findings revealed that both triploid rainbow trout and tiger trout are sterile. The fish's testes contained only early-stage germ cells and did not develop past type-B spermatogonia, whereas the ovaries contained only oogonia. Both spermatogenesis and oogenesis were incomplete in these fish, and the gametes, i.e., functional spermatozoa and eggs, could not be formed. As a result, these fish make excellent recipients for GSC transplantation. Because most Balkan trout belong to the genus Salmo and closely related species, tiger trout would be a more feasible recipient of GSCs due to the small phylogenetic distance, as it is a hybrid of brown trout female and brook trout male.

Authors: İlsever Ceyhun , Cılız Ayşe Buse
Published: June 2024

Özellikle metropollerde kentsel hareketliliğin toplu taşıma türleri üzerinden geliştirilmesi, tartışılan ve incelenen bir konudur. Bu hususta, teknolojinin gelişimine bağlı olarak evrensel ölçekte karar ve uygulamalar bulunmakla birlikte her kentin kendine has tarihsel gelişimi ve coğrafi koşulları da belirleyici önemdedir. Dünyanın önde gelen metropollerinden birisi olan İstanbul’da kentsel hareketliliğin toplu taşımaya dayanarak geliştirilmesi söz konusu olduğunda kentin kendine has nitelikleri ayrı bir önem kazanmaktadır. Dünyada başka hiçbir kentte bulunmayan uzunlukta bir kıyı şeridinin sahip olması ve bu coğrafi altyapıya bağlı olarak yüzlerce yıldır ulaşımın belli bir ölçüde deniz üzerinden yapılmış olmasına rağmen günümüzde deniz yolu ulaşımının kısıtlı düzeyde kullanılmaktadır. Bu durum İstanbul’a özgü imkanlardan ne ölçüde faydalanıldığı sorusunu gündeme getirmektedir.
Bu çalışmada, ulaşımda entegrasyon, erişilebilirlik ve yönetişim stratejilerinden birisi olarak geliştirilen organik ulaşım yaklaşımının ilkeleri ve ölçütleri doğrultusunda İstanbul’da kent içi deniz yolu toplu taşımacılığının geliştirilmesi için somut önerilerde bulunulacaktır.
Bu kapsamda, organik ulaşım stratejisi literatüre dayanarak incelenmekte, İstanbul’da deniz yolu ulaşımının tarihinden bahsedilmekte, bu ulaşım türünün kentin mevcut hareketliliğindeki yeri araştırılmakta ve deniz yolu ulaşımının mevcut altyapısı üzerinde durulmaktadır. Bu incelemeler sonucunda İstanbul’da deniz yolu ulaşımının arttırılması amaçlı olarak belli başlıklar altında öneriler geliştirilmiştir.
Primeras contribuciones al debate de la Franja y la Ruta de China en América Latina
Authors: Nagao Menezes Daniel Francisco
Published: June 2024

Cuando China invitó a los países latinoamericanos a participar en la Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta, alimentó las expectativas de una relación mucho más estrecha y productiva con la región. Sin embargo, en la práctica, hay poca evidencia de que esto sucediera incluso antes de la pandemia de coronavirus. El artículo muestra que ni las declaraciones de política de China ni las tendencias en las relaciones económicas indican un cambio sustancial en las relaciones sino-latinoamericanas y que la Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta representa un replanteamiento de las relaciones existentes y la continuación de las tendencias que han estado en marchadesde la crisis financiera mundial.
Delitos de cuello blanco: ejecución de las sentencias
Authors: García María Agustina , Chabeuf Tiago Oscar , Bur Ahumada Pablo Jesús , Alú Nelson , Acosta Juan Ignacio , Degano Juan Martin
Published: June 2024

Los delitos de cuello blanco, caracterizados por su comisión por individuos de alto estatus social y económico, representan una problemática significativa en la justicia moderna. A diferencia de los delitos convencionales, los de cuello blanco impactan ampliamente en la estructura social y económica, implicando no sólo a individuos aislados, sino a la sociedad en su conjunto. Este estudio emplea un enfoque cualitativo-descriptivo para examinar la incidencia, características y repercusiones de estos delitos, utilizando como fuentes primarias artículos científicos recientes de países latinoamericanos y España. Las palabras clave incluyen términos como: medios de comunicación, perfil del delincuente y teorías sociológicas, y el análisis se enriquece con contribuciones de teóricos clásicos como Becker, Foucault y Zaffaroni. Además, se examinan casos mediáticos, como la tragedia de Once en Argentina, que ilustran la complejidad de atribuir y sancionar efectivamente estas conductas delictivas. Los hallazgos indican que existe una gran dificultad en establecer un vínculo claro entre la acción delictiva y sus consecuencias, lo que, sumado a la representación mediática que frecuentemente minimiza estos actos, resulta en una escasa frecuencia de condenas. El estudio concluye que la falta de reconocimiento de la gravedad de estos delitos y su tratamiento diferenciado debido a la influencia y el poder de los delincuentes perpetúan la disparidad en la aplicación de la justicia, subrayando la necesidad de reformas en la percepción y enfoques legales hacia los delitos de cuello blanco.
Primacía de la realidad como expresión del derecho de defensa del trabajador
Authors: Taboada-Díaz Shirley Michelle , Miranda-Tello María Sol , Peña-Armijos Guido Ecuador
Published: June 2024

The primacy of reality constitutes a principle of special relevance for Labor Law through which the legal protection of the worker is sought against the use of simulated or fictitious contracts that try to conceal true work relationships. Although Ecuadorian jurisprudence has consolidated the criteria in its favor, there is still no legal norm that allows a broad protection of this axiom, which is essential for the prevention of abusive behaviors against employees in labor relations. Judges currently have to interpret and integrate various legal norms or resort to doctrinal principles and sources to defend the primacy of reality. The objective of the study carried out was to evaluate the behavior of the primacy of reality as an expression of the worker's right to defense and to justify the need for its inclusion in Ecuadorian labor legislation. Theoretical methods such as analysis, synthesis, inductive, deductive, analytical exegetical, legal doctrinal and legal comparison were applied. The results consolidate the need for regulation in the legal system and socialization among the subjects of the legal employment relationship to avoid the use of contracts and simulated pacts in Ecuador.

Bucking Nationalism: Masculinity, Patriotism and the Political Rodeo
Authors: Kauffman Ballard
Published: June 2024

The rodeo has long been a tool for America to understand nationalism and the American West. The space has been traditionally geared towards masculinity, telling the story of how the men conquered the West and tamed wild beasts. While rodeo remains an essential political tool of American nationalism, it has also served as a space for groups to challenge dominant narratives. Through non-traditional spaces, Black, gay, and other diverse rodeo spaces have created an environment that challenges normative American nationalism. This work studies these spaces and the people associated with the rodeo to understand the political space of rodeos. Looking at rodeos as a contact zones, this paper researches Buffalo Bill's Wild West and the creation of mythology in the West, explores nationalism, and defines political space. Finally, the study of a diversity of rodeos concludes with a new understanding of the power of the Rodeo in American culture.

Introduction: To achieve a proper disinfection of the root canal system, besides many irrigant solutions, laser has become increasingly popular in recent years. Bacteria that penetrate deep in the dentine can be destroyed by laser up to 1150 µm. The aim of the study is to investigate and to compare the efficiency of conventional chemical disinfection using cleaning solutions - sodium hypochlorite (2%), citric acid (20%) - and the physical disinfection using a diode laser (940 nm, 1 W) in vitro using extracted teeth. Material and Methods: 23 intact, single rooted teeth were prepared and inoculated with Enterococcus Faecalis. Afterwards samples were taken from each group and placed on solid mediums. The following were applied to members of each group prior to sampling: 2% sodium hypochlorite, 20% citric acid and diode laser (940 nm, 1W). To evaluate the results, so that the bacterial strains on the medium could be counted, quenches were performed from 1/10 and 1/100 dilutions. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskall-Wallis and unpaired T-test with a value of p>0.05. Results: Statistical analysis on the 3 groups (NaOCl, citric acid, and diode laser) showed significant differences between the counted remaining colonies after disinfection. Conclusions: The diode laser used for disinfection under the used settings is not effective enough, but as an adjuvant, associated with conventional irrigation effective disinfection can be obtained.

El peso del pensamiento
Authors: Prati Renata
Published: June 2024

En los últimos años, en territorios muy diversos de la filosofía y las humanidades, se ha vuelto a plantear, con ímpetu renovado, el problema del “sentir” en términos no dualistas. En este marco, los fenomenólogos Matthew Ratcliffe y Thomas Fuchs –entre otrxs– se han abocado al problema de la depresión, avanzando hacia una comprensión más profunda de lo anímico y lo afectivo de un modo que le debe mucho a Merleau-Ponty y su trabajo sobre el problema del cuerpo y los sentimientos. Sin embargo, en la medida en que estos autores suelen refrendar las definiciones vigentes de la psiquiatría convencional, tomándolas como punto de partida, terminan traicionando lo que es, a mi entender, la riqueza principal del enfoque fenomenológico de raigambre merleau-pontiana: entender a los sentimientos no como estados internos al sujeto, ubicados en su mente (ni en su cerebro-mente), sino como siempre situados en un mundo, que se nos revela como un mundo con sentido según nuestra existencia, experiencia y orientación corporales. Retomando también los aportes del giro afectivo crítico –con autorxs como Sara Ahmed y Ann Cvetkovich–, este artículo se propone pensar la depresión no en los términos de una fenomenología de la enfermedad, sino en el marco de una fenomenología del sentir.

Authors: Tumacole Ernesto
Published: June 2024

Training is the most crucial variable in each area, as it increases workers' and the organization's competency and viability. It enhances employees' skills because, without training, workers fall short of the abilities anticipated for their responsibilities. Therefore, the researcher has investigated the present study to provide recommendations either to find a permanent solution to the existing problem or to decrease the existence of the present condition. The present study employed a descriptive research design, utilizing a questionnaire as the primary tool for data collection. The respondents for this study were employees at an international ministry. The researcher used a validated survey questionnaire to gather data from 60 respondents. The results revealed the substantial impact of training and development on job performance, highlighting its pivotal role in achieving excellence and competencies across various dimensions. The identified strong positive relationship between training/development and job performance emphasizes the integral role played by these initiatives in enhancing the capabilities and overall performance of the Ministry's workforce. Based on the study's findings, recommendations for the Ministry include the continuation of needs-based program design, aligning training initiatives with organizational goals, and maintaining a sufficient budget allocation for ongoing workforce development.
Teaching Strategy and Mathematics Performance of Maritime Students in the New Normal
Authors: Rubio Allyn Mae
Published: June 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has abruptly changed educational paradigms, especially in maritime education. Online learning has presented unprecedented difficulties to instructors' instruction quality and student results. This study examines how maritime education professors' teaching strategies affect students' math performance. The research examines the domain of teaching strategies of college instructors that significantly influence the mathematics performance of maritime students. The descriptive correlational non-experimental design was employed, and the study involved 100 maritime students enrolled in Math 1 during the 2021-2022 academic year, selected via random sampling. Student perceptions were collected using a standardized questionnaire to gain data on instructional practices. Academic grades were used to evaluate mathematics performance. The data was analysed using statistical methods such as mean calculations, Pearson correlation coefficients, and linear regression to assess the importance of correlations between variables. Results revealed that the teaching strategies of college instructors in teaching mathematics as perceived by the maritime students were very high. Also, the findings revealed that teaching strategies and mathematics performance of maritime students have no significant relationship. Although it may appear unexpected that there is no direct correlation between teaching strategies and mathematics performance, the role of affective strategies underscores the need to cultivate a pleasant emotional environment in maritime education. The implementation of strategies that target the enhancement of student motivation, engagement, and emotional well-being has been identified as crucial in the improvement of mathematics performance in the face of the difficulties associated with online learning. Based on the aforementioned findings, it is recommended that educators and institutions give precedence to the advancement and execution of affective teaching methodologies specifically designed to cater to the requirements of maritime students. Furthermore, it is necessary to conduct additional research to investigate the effectiveness of particular instructional interventions and student support systems in maximizing academic achievements in the context of online maritime education.
An Application of the First-Order Linear Ordinary Differential Equation to Regression Modeling of Unemployment Rates
Authors: Narvasa Denver
Published: June 2024

The unemployment rate investigates the relationship between labor market outcomes and poverty, evaluates the effect of labor market policies and programs, and provides ways to improve their performance. This study analyzes data-driven regression modeling for the economy, specifically the first-order linear ordinary differential equation (ODE). Consider a collection of actual data for the Ilocos Region's unemployment rate and calculate the numerical derivative. Then, a general equation for the first-order linear ODE is presented, with two parameters that will be determined using regression modeling. Following that, a loss function is defined as the sum of squared errors to reduce the difference between estimated and real data in the presence of fluctuations. After this, a loss function is defined as the sum of squared errors to minimize the differences between estimated and actual data. A set of necessary conditions is derived, and the regression parameters are analytically determined. Based on these optimal parameter estimates, the solution of the first-order linear ODE, which matches the actual data trend, shall be obtained. The observations show that the relationship between the actual data and the adjusted predicted regression dynamics closely matches. Results also indicate that the new insight includes the analysis of fluctuations in the unemployment rate for regression modeling dynamics. This research helps Filipino economists provide insights and inform policy decisions aimed at the labor market, and they can focus their efforts on improving these indicators to stimulate job creation and reduce unemployment.

El famoso terremoto de Lisboa de 1755 y las no tan conocidas obras de Immanuel Kant sobre este inauguran una nueva etapa de la historia del pensamiento humano en relación con los desastres y sus efectos en el entorno natural y humano. ¿Son previsibles este tipo de catástrofes? ¿Contribuye el obrar del hombre de algún modo al daño generado —por ejemplo, como decía Kant— construyendo casas altas y, por lo tanto, se le puede hacer responsable? A estas cuestiones se suman las planteadas por la entonces incipiente revolución industrial, que añade a los desastres «naturales» otros de pura creación humana: la «contaminación» que, como resultado de limitaciones tecnológicas y del afán de ahorro en los procesos de producción industrial, destruye la naturaleza y envenena a los seres humanos. ¿Cuál es el equilibrio entre desarrollo económico y social y protección del medioambiente y la salud? ¿Hay un nivel de riesgo o de daño permitido por el Derecho? De todo esto se debatió durante dos días en este congreso internacional en el cual se reunieron especialistas venidos de España, Italia y Brasil en Criminología verde, Derecho penal internacional y Derecho penal medioambiental.

Del pluralismo liberal al constitucionalismo intercultural
Authors: Nieto Hernández Kristian Guillermo
Published: June 2024

En el texto que se pone a consideración, se parte de analizar el reconocimiento del multiculturalismo en el Estado liberal y la complejidad que esto supuso para el derecho pensado desde una lógica individualista. Se ve cómo las corrientes culturalistas de corte liberal pretendían asimilar las identidades culturales minoritarias a una sola identidad cobijada en el Estado nación unitario; cómo el multiculturalismo liberal reconoce los derechos de las identidades culturales minoritarias, pero sin abandonar la idea del Estado central, diseñado desde los principios de igualdad y libertad.
Se revisan los modelos constitucionales propuestos en América Latina y que ocasionaron el surgimiento del constitucionalismo plural, proceso que empezó con el multiculturalismo tutelar de los pueblos originarios, desencadenando un reconocimiento exponencial de derechos de protección de las diversidades étnicas y que terminaron redefiniendo la concepción del Estado, causando su refundación como un Estado intercultural, cuyas pretensiones igualitarias y decoloniales se fueron desdibujando.
También es objeto de análisis la transición del multiculturalismo liberal al constitucionalismo intercultural. Se indaga cómo el proyecto plural que generaron los movimientos sociales de corte étnico acabó cediendo a las presiones de las élites políticas que ejercen el poder en la región. Esta concesión hizo que el proyecto plural étnico se convierta en un instrumento más de dominación de los pueblos originarios; un ejemplo de esto es que el amplio catálogo de derechos de las constituciones plurales es en gran parte meramente declarativo.
Esta investigación es descriptiva documental y no experimental, su diseño es bibliográfico y su enfoque cualitativo. Se exploró documentación jurídica con el fin de fundamentar la construcción del sistema plural de administración de justicias, como consecuencia del reconocimiento de la dimensión intercultural del Estado constitucional.

BACKGROUND: One of the most rapidly developing and intriguing areas of pediatric anesthesia nowadays is pediatric regional anesthesia and its multifaceted benefits. Despite advancements such as improved postoperative pain relief and facilitating early discharge after surgery, the article highlights the underutilization of these techniques, emphasizing the need for broader adoption in clinical practice.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the success rate of local anesthesia with lidocaine and define safe range of age in children for local anesthesia.
METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Pediatric Surgery unit, Medical Teaching Institute, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar from June'22 to October'23. Nonrandom consecutive sampling was done and patients aged 0-15 years, both genders and both from in-patient and outpatient undergoing minor surgical procedures were included. Patients were stratified based on gender and procedure type and post-stratification chi-square test was used for comparison.
RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 45.88 months (SD ±40.28) with 64% males and 36% females. The mean operative time of all procedures was 14.07 minutes (SD ±10.85) and the mean FLACC (facial expression, leg movement, bodily activity, cry or verbalization, and consolability) score of the patients was 3.51 with SD of ±3.12. The complication rate was 4%, and 5% of patients were converted to General Anesthesia.
CONCLUSION; The study evaluated different age groups and concluded that local anesthesia is effective and safe in children less than 2 and greater than 8 years of age.
