Let the River Flow: Fighting a Dam in Communist Hungary
Authors: Reynolds David A.J.
Published: July 2020

Faced with communist Czechoslovakia and Hungary’s 1977 scheme to construct a diversion canal and hydroelectric dam system on the Danube, a movement gradually arose in Hungary to fight the plan. This national dissident campaign, which started with discussion groups and technical articles, not only brought in an extraordinary cross-section of opinion and background—united around the preservation of natural heritage—but played a key part in the rebirth of a lively civic society within a long repressed political and intellectual culture. The story of this movement’s arguments, strategies, and ultimate success is both a key story in the decay and collapse of communist rule in Hungary, but a case study in how a non-western European/American approach to the politics of preservation can rally support and achieve consensus.

The development of this work aims at an approach to the concept of retail innovation, from a threefold approach: product innovation, marketing innovation and relational innovation. In addition, their links to other constructs that have traditionally sparked special interest in marketing research, such as brand loyalty, brand equity, and satisfaction, are examined. To do this, a theoretical model is delimited, which is contrasted through an empirical analysis based on a survey of a sample of 510 customers from three commercial grocery formats —hypermarket, supermarket and discount store— in the province of Valencia. In order to test the proposed relationships in the form of hypotheses, the data collected was analyzed using the partial least squares regression (PLS) technique. The results confirm the role of innovation as a driving force for brand loyalty, enhanced by ICT. In addition, there are chained effects of brand loyalty on brand equity and of this last variable on satisfaction. Finally, the derived conclusions guide a set of recommendations for management, based on the benefits observed when developing innovation processes in the largest grocery retailers.
Fully automatic segmentation of bee wing images
Authors: Garcia Fagundes João Marcos , Rebelo Allan Rodrigues , Digiampietri Luciano Antonio , Bíscaro Helton Hideraldo
Published: July 2020

Bee preservation is important because approximately 70% of all pollination of food crops is made by them and this service costs more than $ 65 billion annually. In order to help this preservation, the identification of the bee species is necessary, and since this is a costly and time-consuming process, techniques that automate and facilitate this identification become relevant. Images of bees' wings in conjunction with computer vision and artificial intelligence techniques can be used to automate this process. This paper presents an approach to do segmentation of bees' wing images and feature extraction. Our approach was evaluated using the modified Hausdorff distance and F measure. The results were, at least, 24% more precise than the related approaches and the proposed approach was able to deal with noisy images.
Automatic analysis of magnetograms for identification and classification of active regions using Deep Learning
Authors: De Oliveira Letícia Sousa , Gradvohl André Leon Sampaio
Published: July 2020

Some phenomena that occur in the Sun have consequences on Earth. Among these phenomena, solar flares release large amounts of radiation and energy that impact on Earth's life and technological systems. These flares usually come from sunspots, which derive from solar magnetic activities. One strategy to predict solar flares is to identify active regions, i. e., a group of sunspots with a high potential to cause solar flares. This paper reports the use of the deep learning technique to identify and classify active regions from magnetogram analysis. To achieve these tasks, we created a dataset with magnetograms and performed tests to choose the best deep learning models for the identification and classification of active regions. The results of the best models reached accuracies higher than 80% for both the identification and classification tasks. Based on these results, we implemented a system in Python to automate the complete identification and classification process, also reported in this paper.
O uso de redes neurais para classificar artigos em revisões sistemáticas
Authors: Veriscimo Erico De Souza , Júnior João Luiz Bernardes , Digiampietri Luciano Antonio
Published: July 2020

O número de alunos e de titulados no Brasil vem aumentando a cada ano. Este crescimento é extremamente necessário, pois a pesquisa é fundamental para o desenvolvimento de um país e grande parte da pesquisa mundial é desenvolvida com participação de alunos de pós-graduação. Tipicamente, uma pesquisa se inicia com uma revisão da literatura e, caso o objetivo seja conhecer o estado da arte de um determinado assunto por meio de um processo bem formulado e reprodutível, a revisão sistemática pode ser utilizada. Porém, revisões como a sistemática tendem a ser bastante rigorosas, demoradas e cansativas de ser realizadas manualmente. O objetivo deste trabalho é auxiliar na classificação dos trabalhos como a serem incluídos ou excluídos de uma revisão sistemática por meio de uma rede neural MLP maximizando a leitura dos trabalhos que interessam para a pesquisa. Foram realizados testes com dois conjuntos de dados e os resultados foram comparados com os produzidos por outros dois classificadores. A MLP teve o melhor resultado entre os métodos testados nos dois conjuntos de dados, correspondendo a uma boa escolha para este tipo de tarefa.
Monitoramento da taxa de saturação de oxigênio no sangue e frequência cardíaca via método de magnificação Euleriana sem contato físico
Authors: Rosa Alessandra De Fatima Galvao , Betini Roberto Cesar
Published: July 2020

O monitoramento da frequência cardíaca (FC) e da taxa de saturação de oxigênio no sangue (SpO2) é fundamental em cirurgias e unidades de terapia intensiva. Nas últimas décadas surgiram vários estudos sobre monitoramento de sinais vitais sem contato físico, mas poucos são focados na SpO2. Este artigo apresenta uma solução para o monitoramento da taxa de saturação de oxigênio no sangue e frequência cardíaca sem contato físico com o paciente através da técnica de fotopletismografia por imagens. A magnificação de vídeo Euleriana (EVM) foi empregada na solução proposta para ampliar as variações de cores que ocorrem na pele devido ao ciclo circadiano. O software desenvolvido foi executado em uma plataforma de hardware livre e de baixo custo.Foram realizados experimentos com nove indivíduos saudáveis. Ao comparar os resultados experimentais com os obtidos com um oxímetro de pulso de referência, a solução proposta mostrou boa acurácia nas medidas de SpO2, com diferença menor que 2%, atendendo os requisitos da norma que regulamenta os equipamentos de oximetria de pulso.
Derechos humanos y medioambiente: La situación de los defensores ambientales en América Latina, y los obstáculos legales e institucionales para su actuar
Authors: Aguilar María Francisca
Published: July 2020

Durante las últimas décadas en América Latina, el derecho a vivir en un medio ambiente sano se ha ido desarrollando y cobrando importancia, hasta que su innegable vínculo con los derechos humanos ha sido reconocido por parte de la comunidad internacional; ello será abordado en la primera y segunda parte del artículo. En este contexto, los recursos naturales, los derechos de las comunidades y los proyectos de inversión que buscan explotar dichos recursos convergen en situaciones usualmente no pacíficas. Frente a ello, defensores ambientales se interponen con el objeto de promover y proteger los derechos humanos en juego, con especial foco en el ambiente e identidad cultural afectada. Sin embargo, a menudo son objeto de amenazas e incluso violencia física y muerte. Aunque las declaraciones internacionales respaldan los derechos de los defensores del medio ambiente, las leyes domésticas a menudo socavan estas protecciones; en la tercera parte del artículo, se precisarán estos aspectos y los casos de dificultades institucionales y legales que tienen que enfrentar en la región. Finalmente, se presentan algunas buenas prácticas en la región para la protección de los defensores ambientales hacia las que se estima necesario apuntar.
Populismo como democracia iliberal: Una hipótesis sobre el estallido social chileno
Authors: Bellolio Cristóbal
Published: July 2020

Se han postulado distintas interpretaciones del estallido social chileno de 2019. Sin perjuicio de ello, este artículo sitúa la protesta y movilización en el marco de un clima populista global, entendido como una reacción al déficit democrático de las democracias liberales contemporáneas. Si bien la literatura liberal es crítica del fenómeno populista por su desprecio a una serie de principios e instituciones del liberalismo, le reconoce de todas formas su potencial democratizador. Esta tensión, recrea la distinción canónica entre liberalismo y democracia. A partir de lo anterior, se concluye que más allá de su evaluación normativa, el estallido social chileno trasunta elementos que son populistas tanto en la conceptualización liberal como en la radical, y admite una lectura como reclamo en contra del funcionamiento de la democracia liberal por su incapacidad de procesar correctamente la voluntad popular.
Democracia, cambio político, e incertidumbre: Lefort al encuentro de Maquiavelo
Authors: Bataillon Gilles
Published: July 2020

La obra de Lefort, es valorada por sus aportes a la comprensión del fenómeno totalitario y su visión de la democracia como una experiencia social incierta y un lugar vacío donde la titularidad del poder es siempre transitoria. Su obra encuentra una importante fuente de inspiración en los escritos de Maquiavelo en los cuales trabajó durante veinte años logrando una de las interpretaciones más acabadas e innovadoras sobre el pensamiento del Florentino. Este trabajo desarrolla nuevas perspectivas de la lectura lefortiana de Maquiavelo, desde la génesis de su obra y sus aportes a la lectura del cambio político, que hoy cobra particular vitalidad para comprender la crisis de los regímenes democráticos liberales. Maquiavelo y Lefort toman nueva fuerza analítica para comprender las democracias como la posibilidad del cambio constante.
The impact of Perceived Justice on Students’ Negative Emotional Responses during Service Recovery
Authors: Msosa Steven Kayambazinthu
Published: July 2020

This study sought to evaluate the impact of perceived justice on students’ negative emotional responses during service recovery. Quantitative, descriptive multi-variate regression analysis and a cross-sectional study were undertaken using a judgmental sample of 430 students drawn from three public Higher Education Institutions in South Africa. The results of this study showed that all the dimensions of justice, viz. procedural, distributive and interactional justice, have a negative and significant impact on negative emotions. The findings of this study could assist Higher Education institutional managers to interrogate the fairness of the processes used in Higher Education Institutions to address student grievances because they have a negative and significant impact on students’ negative emotions.
The Effect of Formative Assessment on the Academic Achievement Levels of Prospective Teachers
Authors: Hotaman Davut
Published: July 2020

This study aims to examine the effect of “Formative Assessment (FA)” practices in “Assessment and Evaluation in Education” class on the academic achievement levels of prospective teachers. It uses a mixed research design. Quantitative data were collected by using double pretest-posttest design, which is one of the complete experimental design structures; while a semi-structured Interview Form was used to collect the qualitative data. The study group consists of a total of 220 prospective teachers who participated in a “Teacher Training Course” in Faculty of Education in Yildiz Technical University, Turkey during the 2017-2018 academic year. The data collection instruments included a 40-item multiple-choice achievement test (AT) chosen from a question bank in accordance with the course objectives and a semi-structured interview form. For the achievement test, reliability was achieved by the test-retest method (r=.95), and validity was secured by the “analytical” method based on expert opinion. Following the nine-week FA practices using the complete experimental double pretest-posttest research design, it was found that these practices (what do I recall? and what have I learned?) resulted in a significant difference in favor of the experiment groups. The responses of prospective teachers to the semi-structured interview form developed to collect qualitative data for the study were categorized into common themes, which demonstrate that the quantitative data are confirmed by the qualitative data regarding the FA practices. This harmony between the quantitative and qualitative data showed that FA practices (independent variable) are strong enough to affect the achievements of prospective teachers (dependent variable).

Interdisciplinary Education in Language Universities - A Survey on Postgraduate Students’ Attitude and Its Implications
Authors: Li Qian
Published: July 2020

The current rapid development of economy and technology calls for the cultivation of interdisciplinary talents in universities. When faced with this challenge, language universities, as a specialized type, need to take a range of factors into consideration, among which language students’ attitudes play a crucial role for further course design. This present study carried out a survey among students in the major language universities in China, and analyzed the results to identify students’ attitudes to interdisciplinary education. Results show half of the students are positive about the implementation of interdisciplinary education, however they lack the knowledge about what interdisciplinary education is and how it is carried out. The problems are discussed and a series of suggestions are proposed in order to promote the interdisciplinary program in language universities efficiently and effectively.
Renewable Energy Challenges and Opportunities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Al Yousif Mohammed A.
Published: July 2020

This paper seeks to introduce the advantages of investing in renewable energy in Saudi Arabia. It concludes that investment in renewable energy is a promising strategy for creating more sustainable jobs for Saudi citizens and promoting the domestic economic diversification. The Saudi renewable energy sector shall increase the Saudi non-oil private sector’s contribution to the total Saudi economic activities. This research paper uses Leontief’s method to estimate the impact of investment in renewable energy through three main scenarios (investment of 25, 50, and 85 billion Saudi Riyal) over 5 years (2020-2025). The total value added, an additional expected growth in the gross domestic product (GDP) during the period from 2020 to 2025, is estimated to be around 2.7, 4.7, and 6.0 percent of the investment of 25, 50, and 80 billion Saudi Riyal in renewable energy respectively. The expected number of new jobs that would be generated in all three scenarios are 44,000, 90,000, and 150,000 thousand jobs. Moreover, further development of the Saudi renewable energy sector should encourage domestic energy consumption to be more efficient and less polluted. However, challenges typically thwart progress in the renewable energy sector. These challenges include technical problems, cost issues, and lack of financial sources. This paper proposes some solutions that should help circumvent these particular challenges.
Does Trade Liberalization Reduce Poverty in Mali? Evidence from ARDL Bounds Testing Approach
Authors: Togo Adjouro
Published: July 2020

This paper investigates the impact of trade liberalization on poverty reduction in Mali over the period 1986-2018. Like Magombeyi and Odhiambo (2017), we will use three measures of poverty (namely per capita consumption, infant mortality rate and life expectancy) to capture its multidimensional aspects. Using the ARDL bounds testing approach, the findings indicate that there is a negative relationship between trade liberalization and three proxies of poverty reduction in the long-run. However, it significantly only decreased per capita consumption. Yet, in the short-run, trade liberalization has a positive and significant effect on per capita consumption and life expectancy. In contrast, it has a negative and significant impact on the infant mortality rate. From these findings, it can be said that in Mali, the effect of trade liberalization on poverty reduction is not sensitive to poverty proxies but depends on complementary policies. Factors such as financial deepening, education, consumer price index institutional quality, and infrastructure development seem to influence the relationship between trade liberalization, and poverty reduction.
Evaluating the Energy Metabolic System in Sri Lanka
Authors: Kaushalya Konara Konara Mudiyanselage Gayani , Tokai Akihiro
Published: July 2020

Fast growing economy of Sri Lanka with an annual GDP growth rate of 5% has significantly increased demand for energy. As energy supply must grow in a sustainable way to meet the demand, concern over the environmental impact of energy flows have been gaining attention during policy development and implementation. Therefore, there is a need of comprehensively evaluating energy metabolic system in Sri Lanka to identify resource dependencies of the country that must be addressed to increase the sustainability.

A conceptual energy metabolic model was developed identifying economic, social and demographic variables affecting energy demand, transformation and supply and GHG emissions in Sri Lanka. Developed model was used to evaluate the current energy flows and forecast the behaviour of energy metabolism while assessing the sustainability of the energy system using number of sustainability indicators.

Developed model indicates an average annual growth rate of 4.06% in energy demand, 4.17% in non-renewable energy supply and 3.36% in GHG emissions. Transport sector has the highest GHG emissions percentage of 73%. Sustainability evaluation of the energy metabolic system shows that Sri Lanka is becoming more efficient and less energy intensive over the years. However, increase in GHG emissions per capita and emission intensity has a negative impact on the environmental sustainability while increase renewable energy share in total energy supply can be considered positive. The findings of the research give new insights to the energy system of Sri Lanka which enable energy planners to implement policies to transition towards a more secure and sustainable energy system.

Evaluation of the electrochemical performance of Ag containing AAO layers after extended exposure to a model corrosive medium
Authors: Kozhukharov Stephan V. , Girginov Christian , Kiradzhiyska Denitsa , Tsanev Aleksander , Avdeev Georgy
Published: July 2020

The coating procedure appears to be an indispensable finishing stage in the production of Al based industrial products, engineering facilities and equipment. For this reason, there is an ever-increasing interest towards the elaboration of reliable corrosion protective layers with apparent coverage, adhesion, and barrier properties. In this sense, both the for­ma­ti­on of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) layer and its further modification with silver enable the elaboration of advanced (Al-O-Ag) films with extended beneficial charac­te­ris­tics. The present research activities are aimed at the determination of the corrosion pro­tective properties of electrochemically synthesized Al-O-Ag layers on the technically pure AA1050 alloy. The structures and compositions of the obtained Al-O-Ag layers were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The research activities were accomplished by means of two independent electrochemical characteri­za­tion methods: electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentio­dynamic scan­ning (PDS). The electrochemical measurements were performed after 24, 168 and 672 hours of exposure to 3.5 % NaCl solution used as a model corrosive medium (MCM), in order to determine the barrier properties and durability of the elaborated Al-O-Ag layers. The analysis of the obtained results has undoubtedly shown that the proposed electro­chemical Al-O-Ag layer formation can successfully be used for the creation of self-standing layers with apparent corrosion protective properties. Besides, Al-O-Ag system can be used as a basis for development of efficient protective layers suitable for application in biologically contami­nated media.

Authors: Beideck Julia M.
Published: July 2020

Insbesondere Sozialgenossenschaften stellen angesichts der vielfältigen sozialen Herausforderungen einen wachsenden Anteil an den genossenschaftlichen Neugründungen dar. Vor dem Hintergrund einer uneinheitlichen Definition und Einordnung der Sozialgenossenschaften in der Literatur werden in diesem Beitrag unterschiedliche Ausprägungsformen von Sozialgenossenschaften gebildet und im Rahmen des Dritten Sektors eingeordnet. Die Identifizierung der Ausprägungsformen wird auf Grundlage der Widmungstypologie von Engelhardt sowie der morphologischen Merkmale Primäre Leistungsadressaten, Identitätsprinzip und Leistungsspektrum vorgenommen. Diese Ausprägungsformen werden im Anschluss mithilfe des Schaubildes der Morphologie des Vier-Sektoren-Modells in den Dritten Sektor eingeordnet. Es wird festgestellt, dass förderwirtschaftlich, gruppenwirtschaftlich, stiftungswirtschaftlich oder gemeinwirtschaftlich ausgerichtete Sozialgenossenschaften als eine Schnittmenge zwischen Genossenschaften im Allgemeinen und dem Dritten Sektor gelten. Als Resultat der Kombinationen der Ausprägungen der morphologischen Merkmale existieren im Rahmen des Dritten Sektors eine Vielzahl an unterschiedlich ausgestalteten Sozialgenossenschaften, die sich topographisch strukturiert in das gewählte Modell einordnen lassen.

Selbsthilfe oder Patientenfachverbände? – Ergebnisse einer explorativen Dokumentenanalyse der GKV-Gemeinschaftsförderung auf Bundesebene
Authors: Wrzeziono Sandra Katharina
Published: July 2020

Die gesundheitsbezogene Selbsthilfe wird seit einigen Jahren durch die Verbände der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung im Rahmen des § 20 h SGB V gefördert. Vor dem Hintergrund der dynamischen Entwicklungen der Selbsthilfelandschaft untersucht die vorliegende Studie das Aufgaben- und Tätigkeitsspektrum, die Vernetzung sowie das Selbstverständnis der geförderten Selbsthilfeorganisationen auf Bundesebene. Mit Blick auf die zunehmende Professionalisierung der Verbandsebene stellt sich vertiefend die Frage nach der Position der originären Selbsthilfe innerhalb der geförderten Verbandsarbeit. Mittels der Dokumentenanalyse der Förderunterlagen soll näher beleuchtet werden, inwiefern die originäre Selbsthilfe im Zentrum der Aufgaben und Tätigkeiten der Selbsthilfeorganisationen steht und eine identitätsstiftende Funktion trägt.
Patentbewertung bei Spin-offs im Rahmen einer Ausgründung aus Wissenschaftseinrichtungen
Authors: Gawenko Wladislav , Hinz Michael
Published: July 2020

Eine Übertragung von Vermögenswerten bzw. im Speziellen Patenten aus Wissenschaftseinrichtungen auf Spin-offs gestaltet sich als schwierig: es soll ein marktüblicher und zugleich möglichst gründungsfreundlicher Wert ermittelt werden. Es werden in Rechtsprechung sowie Literatur jedoch kaum Methoden zur Ermittlung eines solchen Werts vorgeschlagen, sodass zahlreiche Wissenschaftseinrichtungen bei der Wertfindung überfordert sind und der Übertragungsprozess von Patenten damit lange dauert. Oft werden in diesem Zusammenhang von Spin-offs unangemessene Preise verlangt, da bei der Patentbewertung die Besonderheiten von Spin-offs nicht berücksichtigt werden. Dadurch wird die Liquidität und Existenz der Spin- offs gefährdet. In diesem Beitrag wird eine typisierende Vorgehensweise entwickelt, welche Wissenschaftseinrichtungen und Spin-offs unterstützen soll, Patente marktüblich und möglichst gründungsfreundlich zu bewerten. Dabei wird als Grundlage auf die Idee der Lizenzpreisanalogie zurückgegriffen, wobei besonders die Eigenschaften von Spin-offs im Rahmen der Bewertung berücksichtigt werden.

Recognizing the Unknown – the New Confiscation Regulation
Authors: Meyer Frank
Published: July 2020

Asset recovery has been considered a key element in the fight against organized crime for almost two decades. Yet, its celebration in policy documents and civil society debates stands in stark contrast to the realities on the ground. The EU wants to change this. After approximating national confiscation instruments with Directive 2014/42/EU the new confiscation regulation intends to boost their cross-border enforcement based on mutual recognition. Unlike Directive 2014/42/EU the new regulation encompasses non-conviction-based confiscations and provides for their mutual recognition without first adopting harmonisation measures and devising a coherent set of admissibility requirements and grounds for refusal. Even more concerning, the new regulation does not seem to address the many problems and obstacles that made transnational asset recovery ineffective in the first place. The article discusses these aspects, critiques the EU’s approach and evaluates what difficulties and challenges courts and prosecutors will encounter when starting to apply the new regulation.
Molecular Aspects of Pathophysiology of Platelet Receptors
Authors: K. Poddar Mrinal , Banerjee Soumyabrata
Published: July 2020

Receptor is a dynamic instrumental surface protein that helps to interact with specific molecules to respond accordingly. Platelet is the smallest in size among the blood components, but it plays many pivotal roles to maintain hemostasis involving its surface receptors. It (platelet) has cell adhesion receptors (e.g., integrins and glycoproteins), leucine-rich repeats receptors (e.g., TLRs, glycoprotein complex, and MMPs), selectins (e.g., CLEC, P-selectin, and CD), tetraspanins (e.g., CD and LAMP), transmembrane receptors (e.g., purinergic—P2Y and P2X1), prostaglandin receptors (e.g., TxA2, PGH2, and PGI2), immunoglobulin superfamily receptors (e.g., FcRγ and FcεR), etc. on its surface. The platelet receptors (e.g., glycoproteins, protease-activated receptors, and GPCRs) during platelet activation are over expressed and their granule contents are secreted (including neurotransmitters, cytokines, and chemokines) into circulation, which are found to be correlated with different physiological conditions. Interestingly, platelets promote metastasis through circulation protecting from cytolysis and endogenous immune surveillance involving several platelets receptors. The updated knowledge about different types of platelet receptors in all probable aspects, including their inter- and intra-signaling mechanisms, are discussed with respect to not only its (platelets) receptor type but also under different pathophysiological conditions.

General access control guidance for cloud systems
Authors: Hu Vincent C , Iorga Michaela , Bao Wei , Li Ang , Li Qinghua , Gouglidis Antonios
Published: July 2020

This document presents cloud access control characteristics and a set of general access control guidance for cloud service models: IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service). Different service delivery models require managing different types of access on offered service components. Such service models can be considered hierarchical, thus the access control guidance of functional components in a lower-level service model are also applicable to the same functional components in a higher-level service model. In general, access control guidance for IaaS is also applicable to PaaS and SaaS, and access control guidance for IaaS and PaaS is also applicable to SaaS. However, each service model has its own focus with regard to access control requirements for its service.

Une tension dans la culture juridique canadienne : la réticence des tribunaux à l’égard de la mise en oeuvre des droits socioéconomiques
Authors: LeBel Louis
Published: July 2020

Un colloque tenu récemment à la Faculté de droit de l’Université Laval a souligné des difficultés importantes concernant la reconnaissance et la mise en oeuvre des droits socioéconomiques dans la société canadienne. Une part significative de ces problèmes est attribuée à l’attitude des tribunaux canadiens. Leur règlement dépendrait en grande partie d’un changement d’approche relativement à l’interprétation et à la mise en oeuvre de ces droits par les magistrats.

La question demeure plus complexe. L’étude des rapports entre la magistrature et les autres pouvoirs révèle un souci de préservation et d’un équilibre institutionnel encadré par des principes constitutionnels fondamentaux qu’expriment aussi des méthodes souples d’intervention judiciaire. Le même examen rappelle que la responsabilité de la mise en oeuvre de ses droits fondamentaux relève certes, pour une part, des tribunaux, mais qu’elle constitue une sphère d’action partagé entre les éléments constitutifs de l’État et de la société canadienne. Les instruments constitutionnels fondamentaux n’appartiennent pas seulement aux juges canadiens.
Des droits à part (entière) ? La justiciabilité inaboutie des droits sociaux en droit constitutionnel français
Authors: Gay Laurence
Published: July 2020

Comme cela a été le cas dans de nombreux pays, une culture d’injusticiabilité des droits sociaux a longtemps régné en France : les représentations dominantes excluaient que de tels droits puissent et doivent être appliqués et protégés par un juge, quel qu’il fût. Deux croyances imprégnant les milieux juridiques ont joué un rôle décisif en ce sens : l’assimilation des droits de la personne au modèle du droit subjectif — auquel les droits sociaux seraient en revanche irréductibles — et l’impossibilité supposée pour le juge de contraindre les pouvoirs publics à la mise en oeuvre de ces derniers. À partir des années 1970, le Conseil constitutionnel a fait application, dans le contexte du contrôle de la loi, de l’ensemble des textes auxquels renvoie la Constitution française de 1958, dont le préambule de 1946. Il existe donc une forme incontestable de justiciabilité des droits sociaux énoncés dans ce dernier texte, qui n’a cependant pas permis de dissiper tous les doutes quant à leur nature véritable de droits fondamentaux.

La present recerca tracta sobre si existeix un turisme gastronòmic en el municipi valencià de Cullera, conegut per l’oferta de sol i platja i pel seu important patrimoni, que fan privilegiada aquesta zona del litoral. Aquest municipi compatibilitza les activitats derivades de la indústria turística amb una economia tradicional, com és el cultiu de l’arròs, el cítric i l’horta que són molt valorats, ja que tenen una història arrelada de costums i tradicions, que han anat desenvolupant noves tendències i productes oberts hui al mercat internacional. En Cullera, les platges, el patrimoni i la restauració són les ferramentes potencials d’oferta turística. Però, existeix un veritable turisme gastronòmic a Cullera?

Resumen. El emprendimiento y la empleabilidad en el sector turístico de mujeres inmigrantes retornadas es el objeto de estudio de este trabajo, que se vincula con una de las etapas de la migración experimentada por estas mujeres, y las dificultades de integración laboral en el retorno a su país. La hipótesis de partida afirma que el turismo ofrece amplias oportunidades de progreso laboral a las mujeres retornadas. En primer lugar, se analiza el estado en el que se encuentran los cantones turísticos de la Provincia de El Oro (Ecuador), en especial los más vírgenes y poco explotados como los del interior. En segundo lugar, se efectúan dos Focus Groups para conocer a través de las narrativas los obstáculos que enfrentan en su incorporación al sector turístico, los sectores de mayor dificultad y las trayectorias vitales que han atravesado. Se obtiene que, a pesar del importante potencial formativo que poseen, la experiencia laboral consolidada y el poder adquisitivo alcanzado, no es suficiente para obtener una satisfactoria incorporación laboral en uno de los sectores más ricos y productivos como es el turismo, ya que sus oportunidades de progreso laboral quedan mermadas por factores de género, discriminación y desigualdad principalmente.
 
Palabras clave: progreso laboral, discriminación, turismo interior, turismo tradicional, inmigrantes.
 
Abstract. The entrepreneurship and employability in the tourist sector of returned immigrant women is the object of study of this work, which is linked to one of the stages of migration experienced by these women, and the difficulties of labor integration on the return to their country. The starting hypothesis affirms that tourism offers ample opportunities for job advancement to returned women. Firstly, the state in which the tourist cantons of the Province of El Oro are found, especially the most unspoilt and little exploited such as those in the interior, are analyzed. Secondly, two Focus Groups are held to learn through the narratives of the obstacles they face in their incorporation into the tourism sector, the most difficult sectors and the vital trajectories they have gone through. It is obtained that, despite the important training potential they possess, the consolidated work experience and the purchasing power achieved, it is not enough to obtain a satisfactory job incorporation in one of the richest and most productive sectors such as tourism, since its opportunities of labor progress are diminished by factors of gender, discrimination and inequality mainly.

Emociónese en Grindr: tecnologías, afectos y subjetividades en Sudor, de Alberto Fuguet
Authors: Canelo Marta Pascua
Published: July 2020

Este trabajo propone un análisis de la novela Sudor (2016), del chileno Alberto Fuguet, atendiendo al diálogo que se establece entre sus estrategias narrativas, que incluyen la inserción de capturas textovisuales, y los nuevos modelos afectivos que determinan las relaciones en la era del capitalismo avanzado. La sociología de las emociones y las humanidades digitales sirven de sustento teórico para explorar la reinvención de las claves retóricas propias de la poética de Fuguet de acuerdo con la configuración de nuevas subjetividades en el siglo xxi. Se aplican, en esta dirección, las últimas teorías del afecto en el seno de la cultura digital y del “amor líquido” (Bauman) con el fin de demostrar que los ritmos del presente se manifiestan tanto en la propia construcción del discurso narrativo como en las nuevas velocidades afectivas que definen las relaciones entre los personajes. Así pues, se concluye que el empleo de la tecnología, en tanto recurso temático y formal, opera en Sudor como herramienta crítica para cuestionar los cambios que el paradigma digital ha generado en el desarrollo de las subjetividades.
Inteligencia artificial, big data y aplicaciones contra la COVID-19: privacidad y protección de datos
Authors: Cotino Hueso Lorenzo
Published: July 2020

El big data y la IA han fracasado en la prevención, pero pueden ser muy útiles frente a la COVID-19 e incluso para evitar confinamientos y otras restricciones de derechos que provoca. La IA puede ser extremadamente eficaz para integrar, estructurar y extraer información y conocimiento de ingente cantidad y variedad de big data para la investigación biomédica. También es útil para mejorar la atención e información ciudadana y de salud, la telemedicina y la mejor asignación de los recursos humanos y materiales. Más amenazante para la privacidad puede ser el desarrollo de apps, pasaportes biológicos electrónicos o sistemas de geolocalización, trazabilidad y monitoreo de personas implementados para hacer frente a la COVID-19, en especial si se sigue el caso asiático. No obstante, de momento no es el que parece seguirse en la UE. Se analiza el régimen jurídico aplicable, la legitimación legal de los diferentes tratamientos de datos, la necesidad de una base legal de calidad, especialmente para el caso de apps y rastreos. Y más allá de la base legal y legitimación se tienen en cuenta las necesarias garantías de estos tratamientos masivos, especialmente de las apps. El Consejo Constitucional francés y especialmente las instituciones europeas han marcado el camino a seguir, con una acción más discreta en España, que en junio ha regulado con fuerza de ley algunos aspectos del tratamiento de datos de manera muy insuficiente. Existen dos grandes modelos europeos (PEPP-PT y el DP-3T por el que se ha decantado España) más o menos centralizados y más o menos seguros, así como desarrollos propios. Y al parecer para su utilidad deben integrarse bajo las APIs y desarrollos conjuntos de Apple y Google, lo que genera suspicacias. Se sostiene que el Derecho impulsa que tecnológicamente sí sea posible maximizar tanto la eficacia de la lucha contra la COVID-19 como todos nuestros derechos. El tema, sin duda, exigirá un análisis continuo de expertos, sociedad civil y autoridades de datos.
