Die Gerichtszuständigkeit und Kognitionsbefugnis nach Art. 7 Nr. 2 Brüssel Ia-VO im Lauterkeitsrecht
Authors: Lutz Melissa
Published: September 2022

The international jurisdiction for unfair competition proceedings has not yet been clarified by the ECJ. The solution is based on the basic principles of the Brussels Ia Regulation and the specific features of the offense. First, the case law of the ECJ on comparable special offenses is discussed in detail and it is explained why it cannot apply to unfair competition law. Without differentiating whether the unfair act was committed online or offline, the market place is - rejecting the principle of ubiquity - used as the jurisdiction-relevant place of jurisdiction according to Art. 7 No. 2 Brussels Ia Regulation where the courts are given comprehensive cognizance. In addition, practical criteria are developed for this purpose.

Published: September 2022

The valorization of methods for comprehensive data collection is one of the fundamental tools to establish concrete bases and is applicable to lines of work in conservation, preservation, and protection of ecosystems. During the last 20 years, from the Botany Laboratory and Herbarium Trelew, we have valued the Floristic-Holistic Method that we have been adapting, for flora surveys. Method is intensively used in some Argentine provinces of arid, semiarid, and subhumid zones of the South American Arid Diagonal (Santa Cruz, Chubut, Río Negro, Neuquén, Mendoza, and arid islands of the Patagonian Atlantic coast). This revaluation focuses its importance on not only providing information on ecological parameters (bare soil, topsoil, living plant cover, and dead plant cover), richness, equitability, and floristic diversity, but also on status, conservation, botanical types, biological forms, adaptations, plant density, percentages of protected species, potential invasions of exotic species, forage productivity, and animal receptivity. The information is comprehensive and adaptable to different situations, applicable to different plant associations, types of terrain, and landscape units (open and closed mount, shrubby steppes, subshrubs, grasses, wastelands, rocky fields, peladales, and all kinds of modified areas). The method thus holistically conceptualizes ecosystem goods and services, allowing their study at different scales.
Novel Insights into the Use of Biologicals in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
Authors: Parchani Ashwin , Sudan Aditya , Singh Shiana , Singh Arpit , Pathania Monika
Published: September 2022

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a set of autoimmune disorders characterized by muscle inflammation and weakness, as well as a variety of extra-muscular presentations. IIMs are remarkably complex and difficult to treat, and glucocorticoid treatment and synthetic immunosuppressants are frequently ineffective. The pathophysiology of IIM has been linked to defects in both the innate and adaptive immune systems. Multiple prospective targets for biologic therapy have been studied because of a greater understanding of the main cytokines, as well as the cell-mediated and antibody effectors of disease. B-cell depletion with rituximab, as well as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors and other biologic treatments, is among the most extensively studied drug in IIM. There is currently no straightforward way to define all of the pharmaceuticals that are classified as biologics. This group of drugs has gained a lot of interest in the recent era for the treatment of various autoimmune and skeletal muscle disorders. This chapter shall address the mechanism of action, side effects, uses, and scope of biologics used in treatment of IIM.
A Resource Allocation Model Driven through QoC for Distributed Systems
Authors: Luiz Tinassi D’Amato André , Oliveira de Andrade Wellington
Published: September 2022

The trend of fog computing has generated challenges to establish resource allocation provided by this type of environment, since, in fog environments, the computing resource setting occurs on demand and at the edge of the network. Thus, ensuring both environment performance and providing user satisfaction imposes a severe technical problem. Since distributed systems are context-aware systems, the quality of context design can be applied to manage customer service, which aims to improve QoS, and provides system performance, for a given context. So, in this chapter, we propose a model to obtain runtime improvement for individual users and improve the global system performance using the quality of context in fog computing environment. The contribution of this proposal is to provide a resource allocation model, and metrics, based on QoC to deal with different distributed computing scenarios, in order to coordinate and enhance the environmental performance and user satisfaction. Experimental results show that our model improves system performance and users’ satisfaction. For measuring workloads, estimates of users’ satisfaction were performed. The proposed model obtained average results between 80 and 100% of users’ satisfaction acceptance, and a standard deviation adherent to a flat surface for workloads with a large number of tasks.
Chemokines at the Crossroad of Diabetes-Tuberculosis Synergy
Authors: Aravindhan Vivekanandhan , Yuvaraj Srinivasan
Published: September 2022

The epidemic increase in diabetes mellitus (DM) is taking place in the world were one third of the population is latently infected with tuberculosis (TB). DM, as a chronic metabolic disease, weakens the immune system and increases the risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection. In those who are already latently infected, it increases the risk of reactivation. This is called DM-TB synergy. While the role of immune cells and cytokines has been well studied in DM-TB synergy, the role played by chemokines is largely unrecognized. Chemokines are low molecular weight proteins that are rapidly secreted by both immune and non-immune cells and guide the directorial migration of these cells. Impairment in chemokine secretion or signaling can lead to delayed immune response and can mediate DM-TB synergy. This chapter describes the role played by various chemokines and their receptors in DM-TB synergy.
The manifestation of grammatical deficit in the speech of the Azerbaijani-speaking monolingual Broca’s aphasics
Authors: Sharifova Sabina , Kuhi Davoud , Abbasova Milana
Published: September 2022

This research explores how Broca’s aphasia manifests itself in Azerbaijani-speaking monolingual patients. Many patients are in need of customized diagnosis tests and rehabilitation plans designed by neurolinguists and this work is the first step. As Azerbaijani aphasics are among the underrepresented populations in the field, the paper explores the main grammatical deficits in their speeches. This paper tests the findings against the most popular theses and hypotheses in the area to see if a language with a typologically different structure from English aligns with them. It also aims to uncover the universal and language-specific deficits in the participants to create a pioneer characterization of Azerbaijani aphasia. To fulfill this aim, 10 participants with mild aphasia have been involved in 15-30 minutes’ interviews where their speeches were recorded with a high-quality microphone. Special tasks targeting Azerbaijani grammar have been developed for this purpose. The recordings have been transcribed and analyzed to estimate the frequency and quality of deficits. The results show that there are more morphological errors than syntactic ones which can be explained by a low cue cost of Azerbaijani syntax. The results were also contrasted to secondary data of English-speaking patients as this is a typologically polar language to Azerbaijani. The comparison has shown a vital role of language-specific features in aphasia. Furthermore, vulnerability and resistance patterns of grammatical forms in Azerbaijani patients supported the Competition model. Interestingly, the most recent and popular PADILIH theory has not been supported by the data set presented in the work. These findings are unique as they play an indispensable role in developing the first diagnosis and rehabilitation batteries for Azerbaijani-speaking aphasia patients.
Vocabulary Learning Strategies of Azerbaijani Students and its Relation to their Academic and Technical English Vocabulary Knowledge
Authors: Hajiyeva Konul , Amani Bahman , Abbasova Milana
Published: September 2022

With English turning into a global language among the people in all parts of the world, it has played a similarly essential role in the educational system of Azerbaijan. Vocabulary is a vital and inseparable part of the four language skills in the activity of language learning. This research was aimed at investigating the use of various vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) among Azerbaijani engineering students. Moreover, the overall frequency of strategy use was explored by Azerbaijani learners as high strategy users, medium strategy users, and low strategy users. The study also investigated the students’ academic and technical English vocabulary knowledge, finding that the vocabulary learning strategy use is done in relation to students’ academic and technical English vocabulary knowledge. The descriptive-quantitative research design was employed in this study. Two kinds of research instruments were utilized. A 60-item academic and a 30-item technical vocabulary test and an online questionnaire of vocabulary learning strategies with 23-item were employed. The findings demonstrated that there is not a significant relationship between VLSs and academic and technical English vocabulary knowledge of Azerbaijani engineering students. The research also indicated that meta-cognitive strategies included the most and least frequently used strategies among Azerbaijani learners. Consequently, Azerbaijani engineering students were high strategy users. It is obvious that vocabulary should not be treated as an additional material; on the contrary, syllabus designers and instructors have to put it forward as a vital ability in second or foreign language learning.
Contingency and convergence in the theory of evolution: Stephen Jay Gould vs. Simon Conway Morris
Authors: Jeftić Andrej
Published: September 2022

Debating the interpretation of the Burgess Shale fossil records, Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris have formulated two conflicting theses regarding the nature of evolutionary processes. While Gould argued that evolution is essentially a contingent process whose outcomes are unpredictable, Conway Morris claimed that the omnipresence of convergence testifies that it is in fact deterministic, leading to predictable and inevitable outcomes. Their theses have been extensively researched from various perspectives. However, a systematic parallel analysis of the core arguments each of them offered in support of their thesis has been lacking. I argue Conway Morris has successfully exposed the core weaknesses of Gould's thesis and offered a comprehensive account in favor of the major role of convergence in evolutionary history. On the other hand, I will point out some of the weak points in the latter's arguments supporting the deterministic view of life's evolution. Although Conway Morris has been more successful in arguing for the deterministic nature of the evolutionary processes, both theses could be improved if their shortcomings are taken into consideration.
Darwin meets dr. Frankenstein: Using the Drake equation to calculate the probability of volcanic lightning's impact on chemical evolution
Authors: Nurkić Petar
Published: September 2022

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been a paramount mechanism of interest in recent literature addressing the origins of biological evolution. However, research on lightning-triggered electroporation represents the innovative and still insufficiently grasped approach to HGT (Kotnik, 2013). On the other hand, prebiotic synthesis is a fundamental process for chemical evolution. Recently, the effects of volcanic lightning on nitrogen fixation and phosphate reduction have also been considered (Navarro-González and Segura, 2004). This paper aims to present a top-down approach to the question of the origin of life on early Earth. By considering the conditions necessary for the emergence of biological and chemical evolution, emphasizing electrostatic discharges, we will attempt to link previous theoretical and experimental research. Furthermore, we will present a recent endeavor at applying the Drake equation to calculating the probability of volcanic lightning impact on the prebiotic synthesis and derive a similar use in estimating the contribution of lightning to HGT (Weaver, 2013). We will also display that choosing a type of probability appropriate for the context of life sciences is not necessarily a quantitative issue. Finally, we will show that significant conceptual constraints, like determining the relevant factors and sources of uncertainty when considering the origin of life on early Earth, are fundamentally philosophical issues. We hope that the results of our research - deriving Drake's equation in the domain of chemical evolution and considering Bayesian and counterfactual types as potentially more suitable candidates for calculating probabilities in the evolutionary framework - will contribute to developing new discussions in life sciences.
The origin of origins a metaphysical argument for the existence of god in the tradition of de ente et essentia
Authors: Göcke Benedikt
Published: September 2022

In current theology the possibility of conclusive arguments for the existence of God is largely rejected by reference to Hume or Kant. Purportedly post-metaphysical surrogates are put in place of a metaphysically founded theology, where either the existence of God may be believed in only as a rational possibility, or else a radical constructivism about the existence of God is fallen into. Nevertheless, in the following, a conclusive metaphysical argument for the existence of God in the tradition of scholastic metaphysics is formulated. It is shown that theological talk of creatio ex nihilo is only the other side of this metaphysical argument: Whoever accepts creatio ex nihilo cannot consistently deny the soundness of the argument.
Urban mining potential in Serbia: Case study of residential building material stock

Published: September 2022

As governments worldwide attempt to develop sustainable waste management strategies, massive amounts of waste have been accumulating. However, developing an effective waste management strategy requires a thorough understanding of waste types and quantites. The existing efforts to identify waste flows in the built environment are unsuitable for countries with non-reliable statistics as they mostly use location-specific parameters such as data on construction, renovation, demolition activity, and generation rates from the literature. The types and quantities of materials embedded are rarely considered. This study aims to fill the identified gap by estimating the quantities of different material types embedded in Serbian residential building stock. It will do so by calculating the volume and weights of building elements and their materials using information from a detailed building stock typology. The results show that the amounts of materials embedded vary significantly from district to district, ranging from 10 in Toplička District to 96.9 million tons in Belgrade. The mineral materials are the highest contributors to the material embedded, implying that future waste management strategies should focus on them. Apart from the formulation of location-specific circular economy and waste management strategies, these results may be useful for planning energy efficiency retrofitting activities, deconstruction and reversible design strategies.

Published: September 2022

Leser-Trélat (LT) sign (syndrome) is a rare, distinctive clinical phenomenon that is manifested by a sudden, eruptive, appearance of multiple itchy seborrheic keratoses (SK) that sometimes coincide with occult malignancy. A 73-year-old patient came for examination of numerous, large seborrheic keratoses (SK) on the skin. According to the patient's statement, SK did not occur suddenly and "eruptively". Nevertheless, ultrasound and endoscopic evaluation were suggested to the patient to exclude the Leser-Trélat phenomenon. The patient was then diagnosed with an occult, asymptomatic rectal neoplasm. The occurrence of numerous seborrheic keratoses (especially if they are "eruptive", large and bizarre in shape), should raise suspicion of LT phenomenon, or internal malignancy in the patient, and result in relevant diagnostic procedures to detect possible latent malignancy. It would be wise for the doctors of all disciplines to be acquainted with the existence of the LT sign (syndrome) and possible clinical implications of it.
Communicable diseases incidence and mortality in the Belgrade population, from 2015 to 2019
Authors: Pajić Marija , Jović-Vraneš Aleksandra
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Communicable diseases remain a significant burden to society, both worldwide and in Serbia. This study aims to analyze the trend of the total number of patients and deaths from communicable diseases in the Belgrade population, in the period 2015 to 2019. Method: A descriptive epidemiological method was used in this study. Morbidity and mortality data related to communicable diseases, taken from the Statistical Reviews of Health Activities in Belgrade issued by the City Institute of Public Health of Belgrade, for the period 2015 - 2019, were used in this study. Data on the number of new patients and deaths from communicable diseases were used, as well as data on the number of new patients, by groups of infectious diseases. Linear regression analysis for trends (curve estimation) was used to estimate trends in morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases during the observed period. Results: A total of 144,215 persons suffering from communicable diseases was registered in Belgrade, from 2015 to 2019. Communicable disease morbidity in the observed period decreased in Belgrade, while communicable disease mortality increased. During that period, there was no statistically significant trend in incidence rates and mortality rates related to communicable diseases (incidence: y = 2,158.120 - 134.000 x, p = 0.073; mortality: y = 4.930 + 0.250 x, p = 0.369). Conclusion: Although highly preventable, communicable diseases are still present in underdeveloped and developed countries. In addition to general and personal hygiene measures, wearing protective masks, avoiding risky behavior and using protection against sexually transmitted diseases, it is also necessary to focus public health measures on environmental protection and the prevention of the spread of infectious agents outside their habitats, as well as on the prevention of the emergence of new infectious agents.

Authors: NEMMEZİ KARACA Sanem , KURT Begüm , YILDIZ Çağlar
Published: September 2022

Objective: Although the pregnancy period is a physiological process, it can disrupt the sleep pattern and quality with some changes it causes. In this study, it was aimed to determine sleep quality, affecting factors and sleep problems, if any, in pregnant women who applied to our outpatient clinic for follow-up.

Materials and Methods: This study, which was designed in a descriptive style, was conducted on 256 pregnant women who applied to the outpatient clinic. The data form included personal information, factors affecting sleep quality, sleep problems and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. In addition to descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests were used to evaluate the data uploaded to the SPSS program. The error level was set to 0.05.

Results: The mean age of the pregnant women was 28.55. It was observed that the mean total PUKI score was 6.27±3.94 (0-18) and the mean sleep duration was 7.5 hours (3-14). Sleep quality was poor in 49.6% of the pregnant women. It was found that the sleep quality of pregnant women was poor in younger than 35 years old (p=0.026), education level of high school and above (p=0.010), who has gender expectetion (p=0.041) and not socially supported (p=0.009). The median weight gain in the third trimester was higher in pregnant women with poor sleep quality (p=0.022). It was determined that musculoskeletal pain, discomfort, frequent urination, swelling in the feet, pain/cramp in the legs and burning in the stomach during pregnancy affected sleep quality negatively. In pregnant women with poor sleep quality; problems such as shortening of sleep duration, difficulty in falling asleep, frequent interruption of sleep, difficulty in falling asleep again, waking up tired in the morning and waking up too early involuntarily were observed more frequently.

Conclusion: About half of the pregnant women have poor sleep quality; physical complaints are effective on sleep quality. Sleep quality should be evaluated in all pregnant women and recommendations should be made for sleep hygiene.

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women and causes death. Revealing the distribution of HPV prevalence and types in cervical cancer remains important for both treatment and vaccination strategies. The goal of this study is to determine the HPV DNA subtypes of women who are positive for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) screening, and to evaluate their sociodemographic characteristics and cervical smear results.

Methods: The study was conducted on 215 women who were directed to Sivas Cumhuriyet University Obstetry and Gynocology outpatient clinic by her gynocologists or family physicians between 2015-2018 years. A questionnary containing datas of patients about age, education levels and jobs of both spouses, smoking status, obstetric history and age of first sexual intercourse was filled out by the researcher. The data were analysed with SPSS (vers 23.0) program and significance level was taken as 0.05.

Results: The most prevalent HPV types were type 16 and category of the others; with the rates of respectively 47% (n: 101), 40% (n: 86). The frequencies of ASCUS (undetermined atypical squamous epithelial cells), LGSIL (low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion) and HGSIL (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion) were respectively found to be 7.9% (n: 17), 23.7% (n: 51) and 1.9% (n: 4). The relationship between HPV types and Pap Smear results was statistically significant (p: 0.011). There was no difference between patients and their spouses about education levels and occupations; and among patients on smoking status, menstrual patterns, age at first sexual intercourse and family planning methods and HPV types (p> 0.05). In women above aged 55, only two types of HPV DNA were observed; which were type 16 and category of the others (p: 0.005). The relationship between abortion history and HPV types was found out to be significant (p: 0.016).

Conclusion: This study has contributed to the literature by revealing the types of HPV which observed in Sivas province over a period of 3 years.

Published: September 2022

Fructose is the natural sugar found in fruits. This sugar is widely used in all ready-made foods, especially in soft drinks. The study aims to examine how fructose consumption affects biochemical parameters in blood and whether it causes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-caused cell death in pancreatic tissue. Sprague-Dawley rats were separated into control and fructose groups. Control animals (n=7) had free access to tap water, and standard pellet, fructose group (n=7) was given 20% fructose in drinking water for eight weeks. The consumption of food and fluid of the rats were measured daily during the experiment. The lipid levels and total oxidant/antioxidant statuses in serum were analyzed. Grp-78, IRE1-α, PERK, ATF-4, and -6, CHOP, and Caspase (Cas)-3/-8/-9/-12 mRNA expression levels in pancreas were detected. Fructose intake increased TG and VLDL levels in serum, and the mRNA expression levels of Grp-78, IRE-1α, PERK, ATF-4, -6 and Cas-3/-8/-9/-12 in pancreas with fructose consumption as compared with control group. Fructose consumption may cause disruption of lipid profile and oxidant/antioxidant balance, as well as trigger ER stress and thus cause programmed cell death. This will lead to the development of many diseases.

Competitiveness of Individuals in the Labour Market During the Pandemic
Authors: Antosova Irena , Hazuchova Nada , Stavkova Jana
Published: September 2022

The global COVID-19 pandemic has changed the behaviour of individuals and companies. This study aims to determine changes in the labour market behaviour of economically active individuals in the context of the pandemic and to identify competitive segments in this period. For this purpose, a representative survey (n = 3079) conducted in the Czech Republic was used. The paper’s contribution is a perspective of individuals’ behaviour and their perception of the situation. Based on subjective perceptions, respondents provided an assessment of their living situation before and during the pandemic, expressing their opinion on the importance of selected aspects of quality of life, such as their health, active social contacts, creation of financial savings, ability to pay bills, leisure time and coping with stressful situations. The results of a Wilcoxon test showed that individuals re-evaluated each aspect of life and that the pandemic changed the importance for all of them (except leisure time). This change is also reflected in their psyche, attitude towards work organisation, digitalisation and other factors; these were applied in a cluster analysis, which resulted in the identification of three segments in the group of employees in the labour market (competitive individuals, surviving individuals and those reluctant to respond to change). For the group of entrepreneurs, two segments emerged (flexible and loss-creating), while for the unemployed group, the typical segment can be described as dissatisfied and Covid victims. The names of these segments indicate their behaviour and provide possibilities for future use.

Published: September 2022

We consider an inverse nodal problem for p-Laplacian string equation under some boundary conditions. Asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues and nodal parameters are constructed by modified Pr¨ufer substitution. The most important process is to apply modified Pr¨ufer substitution to get an exhaustive asymptotic estimate for eigenvalues. Moreover, a reconstruction formula for density function of p-aplacian string equation is obtained by nodal parameters. Generated outcomes are the generalization of the known string problem.

The samples from the Middle Jurassic section (Bajocian in age), outcropping within the western part of the Balkan orogenic system in Bulgaria, were analyzed to study their hydrocarbon generative potential. The obtained TOC contents are in the range of 0.69–1.97 wt.%. Inorganic carbon (TIC) and total sulphur (TS) contents are low and coincide with previously published data. The values of S1 and S2 are between 0.01 and 0.10 (mg HC/g rock) because of the high thermal maturity level, as indicated by Tmax values of 566-610 °C. The rocks are in the postmature stage and consequently the HI values are very low (< 10 mg HC/g TOC). The fair to good quantity, low quality, as well as the high level of thermal maturity of the organic matter, assume minor remaining gas-prone generation potential of Stefanets Mb.
Experimental Investigation of Range Measurement Error for Radar under Different Weather Conditions

Published: September 2022

In this paper, the effect of different weather conditions on radar distance measurements was investigated experimentally. In current radar applications, the speed of the EM wave in the environment is accepted as the speed of light for distance measurements by radar. However, this speed varies in different weather conditions and is essential for sensitive radar applications. A radar system followed the target at a fixed distance to examine the changes in the speed of the EM wave due to the changes in the dielectric constant and conductivity parameters in different weather conditions. While measuring the distance, temperature, apparent temperature, relative humidity, and pressure were also recorded. Thus, erroneous distance measurements caused by air change could be detected. MLR, SVM, ANN, KNN and ANFIS models were used to estimate erroneous distance measurements caused by weather change. The results showed that the error in distance measurements could be estimated with great accuracy.

The purpose of the study was to explore the factors that influence the adoption and use of open access scholarly publishing (OASP) by researchers in selected public universities in Kenya. Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model as a study lens and the questionnaire as the data collection tool, the study collected data from academic researchers in three Kenyan public universities, namely the University of Nairobi (UoN), Kenyatta University (KU) and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT).The findings of the study indicate that there are several factors associated with facilitating conditions (FC), performance expectancy (PE), internet skills, and social influence (SI) that influence there searchers’ intention to adopt and use OASP in the selected universities. Consequently, we believe that addressing the inhibitors of the adoption of OASP in Kenyan universities would be key to the successful and effective use of OASP. Enablers such as ICT infrastructure, staff capacity and clear policies should be enhanced so as to optimise researchers’ capabilities. Based on the findings, the study makes several recommendations to improve the adoption and use of OASP in Kenya’s institutions of higher learning.

Anthropogenic activities such as fishing, fish ponds, and domestic trash contribute the most to the water quality of the Cengklik reservoir. This research aimed to analyze the water quality status and Pollution Index of the Cengklik reservoir. Water quality status was calculated by using the Pollution Index method. The results indicated that the water quality of the Cengklik Reservoir is strongly influenced by the sources of water pollutants and the surrounding area's ambient conditions. The results revealed that the water quality at the inlet is lightly polluted, with pollutant index values (Pij) of 2.56 at the inlet (CI1) and 4.02 at the inlet (CI2).
Education as an Actor in Environmental Governance
Authors: Gupta Parnika
Published: September 2022

Evolution of humans cannot be complete without thinking about education as a variable in that process. When the world is currently dealing with the issues of sustainable development, the term environmental governance is often heard quite a few times and it cannot be discussed without the mention of its link with education. This short paper takes the reader on an introspective journey about the meaning and significance of education in the field of environmental governance whilst making arguments on the relation between collaboration for global environment governance efforts and education that guides and feed the willpower and drives human actions. Through this paper, the author is seeking to increase the dialogues and global discussion about education as an active actor for the achievement of long-term goals in the sphere of environmental governance.
De la hegemonía digital a la derrota electoral: majority illusion en el plebiscito constitucional chileno

Este artículo analiza la campaña digital que los partidarios de una nueva Constitución para Chile y los defensores de la elaborada durante la dictadura de Pinochet protagonizaron en Twitter, en el marco del plebiscito por el Apruebo o Rechazo realizado en octubre de 2020, en el que 78,27% de los votantes aprobó redactar una nueva carta magna. El análisis digital llevado a cabo operó en dos niveles: primero, en el llamado selective approach, que es volumétrico y analiza tópicos específicos como usuarios, etiquetas, hashtag y trending topics relevantes y, segundo, en el entire field approach, que se fija en las características topológicas de la red. Si bien los defensores del status quo realizaron una campaña que desde el punto de vista volumétrico fue un éxito, el análisis holístico demuestra que ese mismo protagonismo generó conductas digitales homofílicas (Boutyline & Willer, 2016), sobre cuyas bases se construyó una ilusión de mayoría (Lerman et al., 2016).

Esta investigación realiza un análisis semántico de la prensa digital española acerca de las dietas y los hábitos de alimentación durante la última década. El período objeto de estudio se inicia el 1 de enero de 2011 y finaliza diez años después, el 31 de diciembre de 2020. Se lleva a cabo un análisis de los contenidos relativos a dietas y pautas de nutrición aparecidos en las versiones digitales de las cuatro cabeceras generalistas más leídas a nivel nacional (elpais.com, elmundo.es, lavanguardia. com y abc.es). Se han obtenido 643 registros que se han examinado mediante el software T-LAB. Los resultados muestran que la prensa aborda, especialmente, las características de cinco tipos de dieta (mediterránea, DASH, cetogénica, vegana y vegetariana), y los efectos que tienen en la salud, especialmente la dieta mediterránea. Las noticias se vinculan con numerosas dolencias que la dieta mediterránea puede reducir o prevenir. Se observa que estas informaciones se han desplazado a contextos científicos que enlazan esta dieta con un estilo de vida equilibrado y saludable.

The small-scale tuna longline fishery operating on the coast of Nayarit started recently in 2013. We provide the first detailed report on some biological parameters for the yellowfin tuna (YFT) in Nayarit (Mexico). We sampled 584 YFT, representing a catch of 25.5 t. We fit the length–weight relationship, used the t-test to determine the type of growth, and estimated the selectivity curve. The total length data varied from 73.0 to 228.0 cm, with a mean of 153.0 ± 23.5 cm (mean ± SD). Weight ranged from 5.8 to 128.0 kg, with a mean of 43.7 ± 19.4 kg. Length–weight fitting results and the t-test suggested negative allometric growth. Selectivity fitting results suggested that selectivity follows an asymptotic pattern. Our results represent the first step into gathering information to establish research and monitoring programs for the YFT on the Pacific coast of Mexico. The information provided in this study could help develop proper regulations to assure a well-managed fishery and the sustainable exploitation of YFT in Nayarit.
