AI biases and its consequences on taxation
Authors:   Maastricht University, Kerinc N. , Serrat Romaní M.
Published: November 2022

The present contribution to Prof. Rainer Prokisch’ Liber Amicorum is a direct consequence of his mentorship on the two authors. Prof. Prokisch is aware of the impact that technology is having on all layers of taxation, from the local level to the international one, making the intersection of Technology and Taxation a necessary field of study in order to know how to get the most out of it in order to improve the whole functioning of the taxation system. Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics and other potentially disruptive technologies are becoming an essential tool for the detection of fraudulent practices as well as helping improve the levels of tax compliance by taxpayers. Surveys show that particularly the use of AI systems is becoming more and more attractive for tax authorities. Depending on the chosen algorithmic model implemented and based on a vast amount of data about taxpayers, AI can help to increase tax compliance by taxpayers and to prevent cases of tax evasion and tax fraud. Despite the numerous advantages that AI might entail, there are also drawbacks. The objective of this contribution is to delve into one of the main issues the application of AI is experiencing: the biases in the algorithms and its consequences. The structure of the present contributions starts with a section (section 2) where the authors will give an insight about what AI is and what benefits it entails, followed by a section (section 3) that will shed light on the different types of biases in AI and its characteristics. As a further step, section 4 will elaborate on the consequences of such biases within the European Union (EU). In that regard, this section will specifically cover the principle of non-discrimination, the gathering of more information than foreseeably relevant, the discrepancies with the framework as set forth by the GDPR, as well as the principle of proportionality, followed by the EU’s response. We will end this contribution with a conclusion.

Professor Rainer Prokisch heeft als wetenschapper altijd belangstelling getoond voor het belastingrecht in brede zin, alsmede voor daarmee samenhangende rechtsgebieden. Tijdens gesprekken in de tijd dat ik net was gestart als medewerker bij de Capaciteitsgroep Belastingrecht bleek zijn interesse ook het internationaal erfrecht en de internationale schenk- en erfbelasting te betreffen.  In de periode tot 2022 zijn er op dit gebied veel Europese ontwikkelingen geweest: rechtspraak van het Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie (HvJ EU) over mogelijk discriminerende bepalingen van lidstaten op het terrein van de schenk- en erfbelasting, de invoering van de Europese Erfrechtverordening en de instelling van de Europese Expert Group ‘Ways to tackle inheritance crossborder tax obstacles facing individuals within the EU’. In deze bijdrage besteed ik kort aandacht aan enkele van deze ontwikkelingen.

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular mechanism used by cancer cells to acquire migratory and stemness properties. In this study, we show, through in vitro, in vivo, and 3D culture experiments, that the mitochondrial protein LACTB manifests tumor suppressor properties in ovarian cancer. We show that LACTB is significantly down-regulated in epithelial ovarian cancer cells and clinical tissues. Re-expression of LACTB negatively effects the growth of cancer cells but not of non-tumorigenic cells. Mechanistically, we show that LACTB leads to differentiation of ovarian cancer cells and loss of their stemness properties, which is achieved through the inhibition of the EMT program and the LACTB-dependent down-regulation of Snail2/Slug transcription factor. This study uncovers a novel role of LACTB in ovarian cancer and proposes new ways of counteracting the oncogenic EMT program in this model system.

Published: November 2022

Introduction. The reliability and service life of an engine is largely dependent on the quality of the engine oil. Without oil at the proper level of performance, an internal combustion engine can suffer from wear and tear, which in many cases can lead to engine failure. One of the factors in the loss of the quality level of engine oil is its contamination. For example, kinematic viscosity will gradually increase as the engine oil becomes contaminated with soot, dirt and sludge; or it may be oxidized. If the viscosity of the engine oil is too high, the engine must do extra work to overcome the increased viscosity resistance.Fuel and water dilution is one of the most common contaminants in diesel engines.Materials and Methods. The paper presents the results of a study of the combined effect of water and diesel fuel on synthetic engine oil at their various concentrations. The influence evaluation of contaminants on changes in the performance characteristics of the lubricant, such as: kinematic viscosity at 40° C (measurement was carried out on an automatic Stabinger SVM 3000 viscometer), base and acid numbers (values obtained using an automatic Titroline Alpha 20 Plus titrator), as well as concentration measurement elements - indicators of engine oil on an optical emission spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma of the iCAP 7000 series.Conclusions. The presence of contaminants in the engine oil leads to an increase in kinematic viscosity, during the operation of the engine oil, the value of its base number becomes less, and the value of the acid, on the contrary, increases. It is necessary to replace engine oils when the base number decreases by 50% or according to the balance of base and acid numbers.Scope of Study/Opportunity. This type of low temperature performance modelling provides insight into how the oil deteriorates and evaluates the change in oil performance during use.Originality/value. The study can be the basis for developing recommendations for improving the maintenance of internal combustion engines for enterprises that have cars with diesel engines at their disposal in order to increase the resource of power units and reduce operating costs.

The stock price of a company can be used to determine its success. One of the efforts made to increase the cash and capital of a company is to sell securities. Parties who have funds (investors) in making investments certainly want to maximize profits and minimize risk by conducting analysis. To analyze the ups and downs of stock prices there are 2 analytical techniques, namely technical analysis and also fundamental analysis techniques. Researchers discuss the impact of fundamental and macroeconomic factors on stock prices in this article. The study used panel data with multiple linear regression models. Here are 8 independent variables that researchers used in this study, among others, namely debt to equity ratio, return on equity, earnings per share, price earning ratio, return on assets, book value, price to book value, rupiah exchange rate while for dependent variables researchers use stock prices. The researcher obtained the data through a summary of the performance of LQ45 companies contained on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The study's findings revealed that fundamental factors, such as return on assets and price to book value, had a significant impact on stock prices. Macroeconomic factors also influence the rise and fall of stock prices, and in this study, macroeconomic factors are represented by the rupiah's variable exchange rate (exchange rate) against the dollar.

To date, information technologies have entered all the spheres of society. Due to the rapid development of scientific and technological progress, the traditional methods of introduction of wars, which are currently underway not only in the field of hostilities, but also in the cybernetic space of society, are also changing. The modern world is characterized by active wars in cyberspace, where one of the most common attacks is DDoS-attack, including critical infrastructure. This is primarily due to the extreme density of integration into the life and activities of the society of various gadgets, electronic devices and the Internet, the violation of which can cause significant damage - both psychological and significant damage to the enemy from the inside. One of the simplest and most popular methods for violating such normal functioning is the use of resource overload, which can even lead to their complete inaccessibility. One of the ways of overload is the use of DDoS-attacks in case of refusal of service. Mass sending external requests to the attacked resource leads to the fact that such a resource in a short period of time is trying to develop a significant number of requests, which will lead to a significant slowdown in its work or even lead to a complete stop of the resource. This work is devoted to the study of the methods by which DDoS-atack are carried out. The most common methods for their implementation and the main methods of protection against them are considered in detail. This work has examined in detail the technologies and methods of protection against DDoS attacks analyzed and relatively existing solutions of ready-made companies for protection. But since information technologies are developing rapidly, DDoS attacks will develop. Consequently, the problem of protection against them is relevant, especially in the conditions of cyber.

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) provides full visibility into network traffic by performing detailed analysis on both packet header and packet payload. Accordingly, DPI has critical importance as it can be used in applications i.e network security or government surveillance. In this paper, we provide an extensive survey on DPI. Different from the previous studies, we try to efficiently integrate DPI techniques into network analysis mechanisms by identifying performance-limiting parameters in the analysis of modern network traffic. Analysis of the network traffic model with complex behaviors is carried out with powerful hybrid systems by combining more than one technique. Therefore, DPI methods are studied together with other techniques used in the analysis of network traffic. Security applications of DPI on Internet of Things (IoT) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architectures are discussed and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) mechanisms, in which the DPI is applied as a component of the hybrid system, are examined. In addition, methods that perform inspection of encrypted network traffic are emphasized and these methods are evaluated from the point of security, performance and functionality. Future research issues are also discussed taking into account the implementation challenges for all DPI processes.

Published: November 2022

The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of the “Audit Committee Characteristics” and “Audit Quality” on the “financial performance” of NSE listed companies in India. Content analysis has been done using the top 10 NSE-listed companies for 2020 to 2022 measuring the values of ROA, ROE, and market capitalization. The application of a theoretical framework of agency theory has also been employed and implications identified to analyze the effect of these research-dependent variables on the independent variables. The result of this investigation manifest that the companies that have higher results are less probable to require a greater AC. While, on the other hand, the companies that have lower ROE and ROA are in need of greater “audit quality” and “characteristics of the AC”.

Published: November 2022

Open access (OA) and the broad sharing of research outputs has been empirically shown to accelerate scientific progress and benefit society and individuals at scale through improved health outcomes, socioeconomic mobility, and environmental well-being, to name a few. Academic research libraries, for their part, have made significant investments in opening up research and scholarship—particularly research conducted on their campuses and made available through journal subscriptions. Yet these investments are difficult to collect given their distribution across many budget lines, the lack of standardized reporting categories, and inconsistent data collection practices. In May–June 2022 the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) undertook a survey of its US-based academic research libraries to better understand OA expenses. This report presents the survey results.

Bu makale eleştirel pedagojinin tarihsel dayanaklarını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Eleştirel pedagoji olarak bilinen eleştirel yönelimli eğitim felsefesinin savunuculuğu Marksizim ve eleştirel teorinin etkisinde kalan Antonio Gramsci, Henri Giroux, Ivan Illich ve Paulo Freire gibi eğitim üzerine çalışan filozof ve düşünürler tarafından yapılmaktadır. Eleştirel pedagojinin temel kaynağını, Frankfurt Okulu filozoflarınca ortaya konulan Aydınlanmayı ve pozitivizmi eleştiren, eleştirel teori oluşturmaktadır. Eleştirel teorinin başlıca ilgisi çağındaki siyasi, sosyal ve ekonomik hareketler ve mücadelelerdir, doğrudan eğitime yönelmemiştir. Ama onların ortaya koymuş olduğu problemler ve tespitler eğitim ile de ilgili olduğu için bu durum eleştirel pedagoji ile yollarının kesişmesine neden olmuştur. Çünkü özellikle eğitimin siyasal boyutuna işaret eden eleştirel pedagoji, bilgi ve iktidar arasındaki ilişkiye, bunun genelde eğitime ve özelde okula yansımasına, toplumdaki yankılarına dikkat çekmiştir. Bu nedenle eleştirel pedagoji köklerini eleştirel teoride bulmakta ve ondan ilham almaktadır.

Published: November 2022

Secondary atomization of droplets (in the partial or full fragmentation regime) in multiphase and multicomponent fuel §ows is a promising technology that can minimize fuel consumption, improve the combustion dynamics, reduce anthropogenic emissions, stabilize fuel injection in a combustion chamber, and reduce the equipment wear [1, 2]. The most promising secondary atomization schemes involve droplet droplet collisions in intersecting fuel jets [3], droplet collisions with a solid surface in the form of walls, rings, meshes, and ledges [4], microexplosion, and pu©ng [5]. As a result of a microexplosion, the droplets of multiphase and multicomponent fuels break up to form an array of liquid fragments with a size of 1 100 μm [5]. The aim of this work is experimental research of pu©ng and microexplosion in secondary droplets. The number and radii of secondary fragments (child droplets) were analyzed by Shadow Photography (SP). Three approaches have been used to improve the accuracy of the experimental ¦ndings and to estimate their repeatability in a series of experiments. The measurements did not deviate by more than 5%. From the experiments conducted, the present authors managed to ¦nd the cause of signi¦- cant di¨erences in the characteristics of child droplets being formed in the course of microexplosion and pu©ng of two-liquid droplets for di¨erent formation regimes and identical heating conditions. After the research ¦ndings have been generalized, it became possible to determine the ranges of variation for the main parameters at which the maximum amount of child droplets with the required component composition could be obtained. In particular, the authorshave singled out the maps with multiple input parameters that can be used in the technologies of secondary fragmentation for the intensi¦cation of fuel mixing and combustion, puri¦cation of liquids, intensi¦cation of phase transitions, and heat exchange in power generation units.

Pulsed and continuous detonation of motor fuel o¨ers the most ef- ¦cient fuel utilization in combustion process and allows increasing the e©ciency of jet engines by achieving a lower entropy of expanded combustion products compared to the conventional combustion process at constant pressure [1]. In the last two decades, research and development work aimed at creating various types of jet engines with controlled detonation of motor fuel has been actively carried out worldwide. The paper will provide the thorough analysis of patents on the various designs of pulsed detonation (Fig. 1) and continuous-detonation (Fig. 2) engines as well as the various methods for organizing the operation process in such engines. The main research and technical problems of creating practical detonation engines are identi¦ed. These include low detonability of standard motor fuels, thermal protection and cooling, cyclic loads, vibrations, and noise. The most promising approaches to solving some of these problems have been reported and discussed. Thus, for enhancing fuel detonability in terms of shortening de§agtation-to-detonation (DDT) run-up distance and time, the concept of fast DDT [4] can be used. However, despite some progress in this ¦eld of science and technology, most of the problems have not yet been fully resolved.

Показано, что характер горения гептана и реактивного топлива Jet A1 в целом одинаков. Скорость волны относительно переменной f - коэффициента избытка горючего - описывается квадратичной функцией с экстремумом, соответствующим сжиганию смесей стехиометрического состава. С обогащением смеси топливом скорость волны замедляется почти на 50% в смеси «Jet A-1-воздух - кислород» и до 60% в смеси «гептан-воздух-кислород».

Discrete-event simulation (DES) techniques are widely used in modeling complex environments where interaction between time-dependent resources and system processes occur in sequences, such as manufacturing ecosystems or production lifecycles, providing an alternative to traditional work measurement. In this study, labor productivity of using shotcrete process in constructing wall dividers for a simple construction project is estimated using a discrete-event simulation (DES) software incorporating project data on process durations, setup time, and machine mean time to failure (MTTF) as model inputs. The simulated productivity rate of using shotcrete to construct a 1000-sq.m. wall in replications of 200, 500, and 1000 is 1.59 man-hours/sq.m., compared to computed rate of 1.33 man-hours/sq.m. using the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). The total waiting time with respect to the simulation time considering setup, process-in-waiting, and downtime is 48.9% for a single 8-hour shift per workday arrangement. It is shown that by doing multiple 8-hour shifts the resource utilization of the shotcrete equipment can be improved by an average of 43.8% per additional shift bringing the total waiting time to 9.21% for a continuous 8-hour shifts in a single workday. The methodology aims to provide a better baseline estimate of productivity as it takes in to account historical data as well as waiting time arising from resource limitations.

In the last few years, the concept of the Human Ecosystem has been mentioned a lot frequently in Urban Environments related to social and natural ecosystems. The organization of public spaces cannot help but affect the relationships between human and natural ecology, economy, and culture. Perhaps the human activities have compromised the ecosystem so those relationships can be easily broken down. But it can also be enriched orrecovered from failures by establishing Symbiotic Relationships between natural, economic, and cultural elements in urban ecosystems. The research presents theoretical issues of Human Ecosystems in public space organization and specific applications in thecase of Hanoi historical inner-city areas. It focuses on discussing theories of the structure and morphology of Human Ecosystems, the human behavior, the relationship between community behaviors, natural environment, and architecture of public spaces, to organize, enrich, and balance the service ecosystem of public spaces. These features are considered vital by the author in contributing to the preservation of natural resources, urban architectural heritage, creating architectural spaces and planning of public spaces towards ecological and green urban development.

The problem of spherical packing and the problem of the distribution of points on a sphere are well-known unsolved mathematical problems. In particular, the problem of the distribution of points on a sphere is included in the well-known list of unsolved mathematical problems of Steve Smale. Accordingly, a significant interest for the study is both the direct search for solutions to problems and research in areas related to known problems. In particular, the problem of spherical dense packing and coating packing is directly related to the study of regular, irregular and layered lattices, problems of noise-resistant coding, synthesis and analysis of broadband signals, mathematical research of multidimensional spaces, crystallography, methods for solving differential equations and calculating n-dimensional integrals, and many other particular problems and entire fields of knowledge. The paper presents the results of studies of some properties of n-dimensional regular simplex in Euclidean space. The vectors forming the n-dimensional regular simplex define the fundamental basis of the hexagonal lattice. The subject of the study is some properties and regularities of a vector object forming a regular simplex in n-dimensional Euclidean space, the novelty of the results lies in a formulated and proven theorem, several formulas that allow recursive and non-recursive calculations of some characteristics of n-dimensional regular simplex and spherical hexagonal packages. The object of the study is an n-dimensional regular simplex. Main results a theorem on the asymptotic character of the sequence of heights of regular simplex with increasing dimension of space is formulated and proved, the consequences of the theorem and remarks supplementing the theorem are formulated. The conclusion of the article contains additions and numerical examples with comments for some research results. The practical significance lies in the proposed mathematical tools that contribute to the development of the theory of spherical packing and the study of the properties of geometric objects in n-dimensional Euclidean space.
From Khrushchev’s Kulish to Chicken Kyiv: How Soviet Power Redefined Ukrainian Cuisine
Authors: Geist Edward
Published: November 2022

During the rule of Josef Stalin, the Soviet government sought to promulgate a common culinary aesthetic to facilitate the goals of the Soviet project. But pushback against these “socialist realist foodways” emerged in Soviet Ukraine. During the Khrushchev era the Ukrainian government took the step of creating Ukrains”ki stravy (“Ukrainian Dishes”). First published in 1957, this Ukrainian-language cookbook sought to articulate foodways that were both socialist realist and distinctively Ukrainian. The inevitable contradictions within this effort foreshadowed the problems that would dominate Soviet food discourse in subsequent decades, as the USSR’s citizens increasingly critiqued the shortcomings of the Soviet food system and attempted to reclaim prerevolutionary, and particularly national, culinary traditions. Drawing on published and archival Ukrainian sources, this paper explores the uncomfortable balance between nationality policy and official Soviet food discourse in the postwar era, and how this contributed to the eventual demise of socialist realist foodways.

Authors:   Ufa Institute of Biology of the Ufa Federal Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Zinatullina A.E.
Published: November 2022

The laboratory evaluation of drought resistance of a number of genotypes of spring soft wheat, previously assessed as drought-resistant and non-drought-resistant in the field conditions, was carried out. On the basis of morphological, histological and quantitative indicators of grains and seedlings under the influence of a drought immitant – polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 6000 (PEG 6000), the 14 % sublethal concentration, it was found that the results of field and laboratory evaluations on the basis of drought resistance coincide in the studied genotypes. Such a principle coincidence confirms the opinion expressed by a number of authors about the possibility of conducting a phased comprehensive assessment of the drought resistance of wheat breeding samples: first in the laboratory (accelerated diagnosis), and then in the field (confirmation/refutation of diagnostic data) conditions.

Biotechnological developments for breeding purposes aimed at creating highly productive wheat varieties require a significant number of morphogenic callus, in which the manifestation of various pathways of morphogenesis in vitro associated with the regeneration of full-fledged plants is induced. It is methodically important to identify the dependence of the induction of a specific pathway of morphogenesis in wheat callus in vitro on the duration of their cultivation. On the example of morphogenic calli obtained from immature wheat embryos at the stage of early organogenesis on an induction medium containing 2.0 mg/l of synthetic auxin 2,4-D, depending on the duration of cultivation, the following sequence of induction of morphogenesis pathways in vitro was established: gemmogenesis, rhizogenesis, gemmorhizogenesis, somatic embryogenesis (or embryoidogenesis). These pathways of morphogenesis were identified morphologically by the appearance of the corresponding morphogenic structures: buds, roots, gemmorhizogenic structures, somatic embryos. It is shown that the process of laying and forming morphogenic structures is significantly stretched over time, and morphogenic structures may be present in the same callus at different stages of development.
KEKERASAN SEKSUAL TERHADAP ANAK USIA DINI

Maraknya pemberitaan di media massa mengenai kekerasan seksual terhadap anak cukup membuat masyarakat terkejut. Kasus kekerasan seksual terhadap anak masih menjadi fenomena gunung es. Hal ini disebabkan kebanyakan anak yang menjadi korban kekerasan seksual enggan melapor. Karena itu, sebagai orang tua harus dapat mengenali tanda-tanda anak yang mengalami kekerasan seksual. Kekerasan seksual terhadap anak akan berdampak panjang, di samping berdampak pada masalah kesehatan di kemudian hari, juga berkaitan dengan trauma yang berkepanjangan, bahkan hingga dewasa. Dampak trauma akibat kekerasan seksual yang dialami oleh anak-anak, antara lain: pengkhianatan atau hilangnya kepercayaan anak terhadap orang dewasa (betrayal); trauma secara seksual (traumatic sexualization); merasa tidak berdaya (powerlessness); dan stigma (stigmatization). Secara fisik memang mungkin tidak ada hal yang harus dipermasalahkan pada anak yang menjadi korban kekerasan seksual, tapi secara psikis bisa menimbulkan ketagihan, trauma, bahkan pelampiasan dendam. Bila tidak ditangani serius, kekerasan seksual terhadap anak dapat menimbulkan dampak sosial yang luas di masyarakat. Penanganan dan penyembuhan trauma psikis akibat kekerasan seksual haruslah mendapat perhatian besar dari semua pihak yang terkait, seperti keluarga, masyarakat maupun negara. Oleh karena itu, didalam memberikan perlindungan terhadap anak perlu adanya pendekatan sistem, yang meliputi sistem kesejahteraan sosial bagi anak-anak dan keluarga, sistem peradilan yang sesuai dengan standar internasional, dan mekanisme untuk mendorong perilaku yang tepat dalam masyarakat.

Pandemi Covid-19 yang dihadapi Indonesia sejak Maret 2020 hingga saat ini memerlukan penanganan yang terencana dengan baik, termasuk dalam penyiapan pemulihannya. Selama ini Pemerintah Indonesia telah merespon bencana kesehatan pandemi Covid-19 melalui berbagai kebijakan yang telah ditetapkan, terutama untuk memperkuat ketahanan masyarakat di dalam menghadapi pandemi Covid-19, dengan mengadopsi protokol kesehatan yang mengacu pada arahan World Health Organization (WHO) yang berlaku secara global. Namun demikian, dalam implementasi kebijakan penanganan Covid-19 yang mengacu pada protokol kesehatan WHO ini masih dihadapkan pada berbagai permasalahan yang menyebabkan masih belum efekttif dan optimalnya penanganan yang dilakukan, dimana tingkat penularan dan penyebaran virus Covid-19 masih terus berlanjut dan belum menunjukkan penurunan yang signifikan..Implementasi nilai-nilai Pancasila di dalam perencanaan penanganan pandemi Covid-19 ini diharapkan dapat dijadikan masukan bagi proses perencanaan yang lebih efektif dan optimal, tidak hanya dalam penanganan bencana pandemi yang sedang berlangsung, namun juga sekaligus untuk merencanakan pemulihan kondisi bangsa dan masyarakat yang terdampak bencana pandemi Covid-19 lebih lanjut. Mempelajari Pancasila lebih dalam menjadikan kita sadar sebagai bangsa Indonesia yang memiliki jati diri dan harus diwujudkan dalam pergaulan hidup seharihari untuk menunjukkan identitas bangsa yang lebih bermartabat dan berbudaya tinggi. Untuk itulah diharapkan dapat menjelaskan Pentingnya Pancasila sebagai Ideologi yang membangun kesejahterahkan bangsa.

Cellular Signaling Pathways as Plastic, Proto-cognitive Systems: Implications for Biomedicine

Many aspects of health and disease are modeled using the abstraction of a “pathway” – a set of protein or other subcellular activities with specified functional linkages between them. This metaphor is a paradigmatic case of a deterministic, mechanistic framework that focuses biomedical intervention strategies on altering the members of this network or the up/down-regulation links between them – rewiring the molecular hardware. However, protein pathways and transcriptional networks share important properties with neural networks and related dynamical systems, which implies that they can exhibit interesting and unexpected capabilities such as trainability (memory) and information processing in a context-sensitive manner. Specifically, they may be amenable to manipulation via their history of stimuli (equivalent to experiences, in behavioral science). If true, this would enable a new class of biomedical interventions that targets aspects of the dynamic physiological “software” implemented by pathways and gene-regulatory networks. Here, we propose an expanded view of pathways from the perspective of basal cognition. We review clinical and laboratory data supporting the idea that a broader understanding of pathways (and how they process contextual information across scales) is a limiting factor for progress in many areas of physiology and neurobiology. We argue that a fuller understanding of the functionality and tractability of pathways must go beyond a focus on the mechanistic details of their structure, to encompass their physiological history and embedding within higher levels of organization in the organism, with numerous implications for data science addressing health and disease. Exploiting tools and concepts from behavioral and cognitive sciences is not just a philosophical stance on biochemical processes; at stake is a new roadmap for overcoming the limitations of today’s pharmacological strategies and for the inference of future therapeutic interventions impacting a wide range of disease states.
El Envejecimiento de la Población, un verdadero reto para la Salud Publica.

La vejez y el envejecimiento son problemas a los que se enfrentan las sociedadesmodernas desde hace relativamente poco tiempo. El envejecimiento es un proceso que duratoda la vida. Es multidimensional y multidireccional, en el sentido de que hay diferencias enel ritmo y dirección del cambio (ganancias y pérdidas) de las distintas características de cadaindividuo y entre individuos. Cada etapa de la vida es importante. El problema mássignificativo del envejecimiento es la pérdida de autonomía que desemboca en ladependencia. Es un estado de carácter permanente, en que se encuentran las personas que,por razones derivadas de la edad, precisan de la atención de otra u otras personas o ayudasimportantes para realizar actividades básicas de la vida diaria. Envejecimiento y dependenciaconstituyen un auténtico reto para las familias y la política social de un país. La salud y lacapacidad funcional son de vital importancia para la calidad de la vida social de las personas;el nivel de capacidad funcional determina la medida en que pueden manejarse con autonomíadentro de la comunidad, participar en distintos eventos, visitar a otras personas, utilizar losservicios y facilidades que les ofrecen las organizaciones y, en general, enriquecer sus propiasvidas y las de las personas más próximas a ellos. Tanto la evolución de los indicadoresdemográficos como las fallas de mercado y de los sistemas gubernamentales, traerán en lospróximos años consecuencias de tipo económico y social, con profundización de la situaciónde pobreza en la vejez, a pesar de que el principal objetivo de los sistemas de protecciónsocial y de ahorro debería ser prevenir la pobreza en la vejez. Las repercusionessocioeconómicas del envejecimiento poblacional en la Región de América Latina van a sermayores principalmente por la velocidad con que ocurre este fenómeno. Cuando la proporción de personas de 15 años o menos en relación con las de 60 o más cae abruptamente,se produce un problema de adaptación por parte de las estructuras sociales y económicas.La situación actual del envejecimiento en el mundo merece atención inmediata. La sociedadya no puede permitirse tan sólo procurar la supervivencia de sus ciudadanos hasta edadesavanzadas; debe ahora promover el envejecimiento sano y activo de la población, el cual essusceptible de planificarse y apoyarse. La planificación de una vejez sana y activa implicaponer en marcha programas de promoción, servicios de prevención y diagnóstico oportunoen el ámbito de la atención primaria de la salud con esta orientación, mucho antes de quecomience la vejez.
