Anidación del hormiguerito de Cherrie (Myrmotherula cherriei) en Colombia, con una revisión de los nidos y huevos en Myrmotherula
Authors: Chaparro-Herrera Sergio , Ruiz-Ovalle Juan M.
Published: February 2025

The genus Myrmotherula is a polyphyletic group that includes a complex of species with ecological, behavioral and morphological differences. Little is known about the reproductive aspects of Mymotherula and little information exists on the reproductive behavior and the characteristics of the nests and eggs of the species. We present the first detailed record of the nest and eggs of Cherrie’s Antwren in Colombia and some aspects of reproductive behavior. The nest was a deep cup of fungal rhizomorphs and vegetable fibers with a few dry leaves in lower part and contained two cream-colored eggs with purplishred spots concentrated toward the large end. Additionally we review the available information on nests and eggs of the genus Myrmotherula.

Published: February 2025

Las colisiones de aves contra ventanas son responsables por mil millones de muertes de aves anualmente en los Estados Unidos, y son la segunda mayor causa de muertes de aves causadas por humanos. Aunque las ventanas pueden ser una amenaza significativa para las aves Neotropicales, pocos estudios han cuantificado este problema y ninguno se ha enfocado en residencias en esta región tropical. Investigaciones en los Estados Unidos y Canadá muestran que las residencias son responsables por 44% y 90% de las colisiones contra ventanas, respectivamente. Nosotros estudiamos colisiones de aves contra ventanas en una residencia rural en una reserva natural de 4 hectáreas ubicada en el piedemonte de los Andes Orientales de Colombia. Grandes y abundantes ventanas proveían excelentes vistas pero también causaban colisiones frecuentemente, muchas de las cuales fueron fatales. Entre el 2009 y el 2012 probamos el efecto de calcomanías en la reducción de colisiones. Seguido a la aplicación de calcomanías en cinco ventanas (0.41 calcomanías/m2) las colisiones se redujeron en un 84%. Aquí presentamos un caso exitoso de prevención de colisiones de aves contra ventanas en una escala de hogar para inspirar a otros a prevenir la mortalidad aviar.

Primeros registros confirmados de Anhima cornuta en el departamento de Vichada, Colombia
Authors: Vásquez-Ávila Adrián , Pinzón-Arias Marjorie , Alfonso-Cuta Camilo
Published: February 2025

Anhima cornuta (horned screamer) is a species of the Anhimidae family which is widely distributed in South America. In Colombia, this species is reported mainly for the Amazonia and Orinoquia regions. In this manuscript, we report A. cornuta in flooded areas in the Vichada department, where there were no previous records. Therefore, we confirm the presence of this species in this department of the Orinoquia. In addition, we included other recent records reported through eBird, and the information described is complemented with a revision of databases and other secondary resources. These observations validate the occurrence of A. cornuta towards the eastern part of the Colombian Orinoquia and increase the existing information of Horned Screamer in this area of the country. Finally, we highlight the need to document and make available the occasional records of species with ranges of distribution to be confirmed, as well as carrying out studies that expand the biological information available for this species in the Orinoquia region.

Authors: Quimbayo-Cardona Miguel Ángel , Loaiza-Hernandez Hugo Nelson , Suárez-Sánchez Gladys Paola
Published: February 2025

We present new records of the Ochre-breasted Antpitta (Grallaricula flavirostris) into the Galilea Forest, at Villarrica and Dolores Tolima, from the western slope of the Cordillera Oriental of the Colombian Andes. We observed and captured several individuals in Río Naranjo (1580 m), La Chata (1860) Campo Hermosos (1950 m), and Riachón (2100 m) localities. Our records of this antpitta support declare the Galliliea Forest as a protected area of the eastern Tolima state, due to its Near Threatened (NT) category. In Colombia, deforestation to cattle ranching and agriculture is the main threat for this species. Furthermore, our records extend the known distribution of G. flavirostris to Tolima, and southward at the western slope of the Cordillera Oriental 380 km.

A New Step in the Greening of the Right to Life
Authors: Zirulia Stefano
Published: February 2025

In Cannavacciuolo and Others v. Italy, the European Court of Human Rights unanimously found a violation of Article 2 ECHR on account of the State’s failure to protect the right to life of residents in an area of Southern Italy known as the “Land of Fires” (Terra dei Fuochi). This is the first judgment linking a violation of the right to life to the prolonged exposure to pollutants released into the environment. The decisive element for the applicability of the right to life has been a shift in the Court’s approach to the causal link requirement that triggers a violation of Article 2. The Cannavacciuolo judgment should therefore be seen as a turning point for climate and environmental justice.
Optimized biochemical depolymerization of plastics from surgical face masks
Authors: Bhosale Rohan P , Malhotra Rachna
Published: February 2025

The plastic component of surgical masks containing polypropylene is posing an environmental threat owing to the overuse of masks with non-biodegradable layers all over the world. The non-biodegradable layer of masks can pose serious environmental problems. There are a few reported chemical, enzymatic, and microbial-based methods known to depolymerize plastics; however, these individual processes may be slow. There is a possibility that chemicals may work together with enzymes and microbes and act as catalysts for depolymerization. Hence, we hypothesized that chemicals, enzymes, and microbes may act synergistically to degrade plastic at a higher speed. To evaluate the main and interactive effects of processes meant for the degradation of plastics, we tested the effects of enzymes, microbes, and zinc oxide on the degradation of plastics in a 1.5 L bioreactor and studied the synergy between these three processes using a two-level, three-variable factorial design. The results indicated a significant interactive and synergistic effect between ZnO and the microbial mix, which could accelerate the depolymerization reaction. These experiments helped us to conclude that depolymerization of polypropylene can be done prior to its disposal to the environment using a combination of chemical and microbial mix.

Un Análisis Comparativo de la Lesión Enorme en las Legislaciones de Ecuador y Colombia
Authors: Jaramillo Uvidia Yamila Fernanda , Yépez Garcés Pablo Renán
Published: February 2025

El presente artículo realiza un análisis comparativo de la figura jurídica de la lesión enorme en las legislaciones de Ecuador y Colombia, este es un concepto clave del Derecho Civil que protege la equidad contractual frente a desigualdades económicas significativas al momento de llevar a cabo un negocio jurídico. La investigación se fundamenta en un enfoque cualitativo, explorando fuentes normativas, doctrinales y jurisprudenciales para identificar las similitudes y diferencias en la regulación de esta figura en ambos países. En Ecuador, la lesión enorme se regula principalmente en el Código Civil, permitiendo rescindir contratos con desproporciones económicas evidentes, aunque ofrece un mecanismo antirescisorio para equilibrar las prestaciones y preservar el contrato. Por otro lado, en Colombia, la regulación tiene un alcance más limitado, aplicándose principalmente y enfocado a la compraventa de bienes inmuebles, sin un mecanismo antirescisorio explícito o determinado. Coincide en estructura con el comentario anterior, pero fue el párrafo final de que se originó en la tradición romano-francesa y tuvo como objetivo proporcionar justicia a través del equilibrio. Además, sin embargo, se encuentran diferencias fundamentales: la jurisprudencia colombiana incorpora elementos subjetivos mientras en Ecuador los dictámenes emanados de la Corte Suprema obedecen en su mayoría a criterios objetivos. Por ejemplo: finalmente se discutirán propuestas para mejorar la regulación en ambos países, destacando la necesidad de criterios uniformes y una mayor protección de las partes vulnerables en los contratos.

Authors: Gondomono Auddy Rogmanialdy , Sudarwanto Sentot
Published: February 2025

This research aims to analyze the authority of the Regional Financial and Revenue Management Agency (BPKPD), implementation, and legal consequences in determining the value of land sale and purchase transactions as a basis for determining Land and Building Rights Acquisition Fees (BPHTB) in Salatiga City. This research uses empirical normative legal research methods with statutory, conceptual and sociological approaches. The authority of the BPKPD in determining the selling price of land as a basis for determining BPHTB in the City of Salatiga is regulated in Salatiga Mayor Regulation Number 33 of 2024 concerning Guidelines for Implementing Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax Collection. In determining the BPHTB, the Salatiga City BPKPD makes adjustments to the Land and Building Tax Payable Tax Notification Letter (SPPT PBB) for the year when the BPHTB Regional Tax Payment Letter (SSPD) is reported with the determination of the amount of the PBB Tax Object Sales Value (NJOP) which has been adjusted based on the Decree of the Mayor of Salatiga for each year's period. The factors that influence the determination of land sale and purchase prices as a basis for determining BPHTB are the data base and human resources.
Women Entrepreneurship & Economic Development: Evidence from Developed and Developing Countries
Authors: Tani Samia Sultana , Progga Maisha Samiha
Published: February 2025

This article intends to investigate the immense and beneficial involvement of female entrepreneurs in economic development across the world. The world economy consisting of both developed and developing countries escalates at quite different paces due to the changes occurring at micro, macro, and cultural levels. This study has been conducted in two dimensions: one study encompasses a panel dataset constituting country-across variables on research-specific indices of a total of 63 countries for 3 years (2019-2021). The Human Development Index (HDI) is taken as a proxy for measuring Economic development across the world. Applying the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression model, we found that Gender Inequality (GII), Globalization (GI), and Female Entrepreneurs (FEI) leave a major impact on sustainable, social and economic development at length. The second dimension of the study evaluates female entrepreneurs’ contribution to the development of Bangladesh's economy using a time-series dataset for 16 years (2006-2021). Aside from these variables, the Gender Development Index (GDI) brings upon a great deal of impact on Bangladeshi female entrepreneurs at rise. The GDI and the GI of the model show that gender development and globalization assist the female community to grow professionally in Bangladesh which is the important policy implication of this study. The study found that Globalization assists women in bringing something new to the table by generating more demand in the market. A comprehensive comparison between pre-COVID and post-COVID economies dealing with global female entrepreneurs shows women’s contribution to boosting the economy during the recent pandemic.

Published: February 2025

The objective of this research is to evaluate the influence of service quality and customer satisfaction on customer loyalty towards Kozzi Sintang. This study employs a quantitative associative approach with 100 respondents, each at least 17 years of age and having purchased Kozzi Sintang products a minimum of two times (purposive sampling). The analysis utilizes the multiple correlation coefficient (R), the coefficient of determination (R²), and the F-test. Service quality and customer satisfaction influence 17.6 percent of customer loyalty (R² = 0.176). Other factors beyond the scope of this research account for the remaining 82.4 percent of customer loyalty. The F-test indicates that service quality and customer satisfaction together have a statistically significant effect on customer loyalty (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05). Furthermore, service quality has a statistically significant individual effect (p-value 0.002 < 0.05; calculated t-statistic 3.190 > critical t-value 1.984), whereas customer satisfaction does not have a statistically significant individual effect (p-value 0.262 > 0.05; calculated t-statistic 1.128 < critical t-value 1.984).
El arte callejero como dispositivo de cambio social: el caso de la Comuna 13 de Medellín
Authors: Riga Claudio
Published: February 2025

Comuna 13 is one of the 16 districts of Medellín. Due to a complicated history of state neglect, violence, and military operations, it was considered one of the most dangerous sectors of the city. In recent years, it has undergone a significant transformation, becoming one of the safest and most tourist-friendly areas. This change is due to the vibrant street art scene that took place in the public spaces of the comuna. The aim of this research was to understand the impact of street art in the “transformation” of the Comuna and in the life experiences of the residents. The research was conducted using the method of walking ethnography. The method of walking with participants through an urban space is becoming increasingly common in research aimed at understanding the experiences and issues related to a particular place. The benefits of this method are rooted in the fact that sensory immersion in a place helps interviewees relive memories associated with that place. Through these memories, it is possible to explore not only the participants' personal experiences but also broader cultural, political, social, and economic elements. The walks revealed that participants consider street art as one of the main elements that have contributed to the "transformation" of Comuna 13, enhancing the appearance of public spaces and, at the same time, attracting visitors who have introduced new streams of capital into the local economy, improving the quality of life for the community. This research demonstrates once again that street art can be a powerful tool for social change in vulnerable communities.

DEMOCRACY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CARE IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN: A QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITY (GEF) PROJECT DATABASE (1991-2023)
Authors:   University of Bucharest, REVOREDO DE A. MACHADO RENATO
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the relationship between democracy and environmental care in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region, by presenting the variablemultilateral resources mobilized for environmental projects, mostly on a per capita basis. By analyzing data from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) database, which covers investment cycles from the early 1990s through June 2023, the correlation between amounts mobilized for environmental projects and political freedom scores across
twenty-four countries in LAC is explored, under two dimensions: project generation, and project completion. The findings suggest that high-quality democracies have mobilized more GEF resources. However, the relationship is less clear for lower quality democracies. Smaller democracies display the best results, although the Caribbean cases excel at generating projects but show poor results in completing them. The largest LAC countries show disappointing results, which can be partly attributed to their political landscape complexity. Additionally, regression analyses were conducted to test some of the independent variables that influence the results, and the findings suggest that lower levels of corruption and higher number of environmental laws passed are statistically
significant, explaining the superior GEF per capita mobilization results. Hence, the trio of a higher quality democracy, higher number of environmental laws enacted, and lower levels of corruption seem to be especially beneficial for environmental action.

Authors:   Nicolaus Copernicus University, PERLIKOWSKI ŁUKASZ
Published: February 2025

This paper sheds new light on comprehending populist politics and its relation to the rule of law. Dealing with the fact that populist parties are competing and struggling with the courts, one can say that the tension between judicial and legislative institutions is a crucial element of contemporary liberal democracy condition. The following article proposes a new approach to be used as an analytical tool for surveying the interdependencies between the rule of law and populism. According to this view, dialectical analysis should replace the axiological analysis of judicial/democratic dualism. The purpose of this shift is to regard the tension between given elements of a political system in a mechanical way rather than in terms of a clash of values. Using the pendulum metaphor, one can track the relations between static and dynamic elements of a given political system.

This research aims to examine the influence of culture-based Social Sciences (IPS) learning on students' intercultural tolerance attitudes. The background to this research is the importance of increasing understanding and attitudes of intercultural tolerance in the context of multicultural education in Indonesia. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of class VII students at one of the junior high schools in Jakarta, who were chosen randomly. The experimental group received culture-based social studies learning for one semester, while the control group received conventional learning. The research instrument was an intercultural tolerance attitude questionnaire which had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using the t test to see the differences in pretest and posttest scores between the experimental and control groups. The results showed that there was a significant increase in intercultural tolerance attitudes in the experimental group compared to the control group. Culture-based social studies learning has proven effective in increasing students' attitudes of intercultural tolerance. These findings indicate that the integration of local cultural values ​​in the social studies curriculum can be a potential strategy for developing attitudes of intercultural tolerance and harmonization in schools. This research recommends the wider application of culture-based learning in education to support the creation of an inclusive and tolerant school environment.

In comparison to physical and chemical approaches, the green synthesis of AgNPs using plant extracts is non-toxic to organisms, inexpensive, and good for the environment. In this study, we have successfully synthesised AgNPs utilising water-based fruit extracts from a variety of plants, such as Actinidia deliciosa, Citrus sinensis, Phyllanthus emblica, Tamarindus indica by adjusting the pH, precursor concentration, and extract volume allowed for the optimisation of the synthesis. By observing colour changes in the reaction mixture and quantifying them using UV-Vis spectroscopy, which showed extinction peaks for surface plasmon resonance around 407-417 nm, the synthesis of AgNPs was identified. (Yasmin et al., 2020; Giri et al., 2022). Analysis was carried out utilising XRD, IR, FESEM, and EDX to a high level of detail. The XRD study proved that the AgNPs had a face-centred cubic structure with average diameters ranging from 24 to 35 nanometers [(Asif et al., 2022). Transmission electron micrographs determined them to be spherical nanoparticles [Giri et al., 2022]. According to FESEM micrographs, the AgNPs have a spherical shape and a size distribution of 10 to 50 nm (Asif et al., 2022), suggesting that they could have many different uses. FTIR research studies revealed the functional group of the molecules derived from plant extracts. Using methyl orange (MO) as a model dye and subjecting the synthesised AgNPs to UV-Vis light, their photocatalytic activity was assessed. Within 120 minutes, the AgNps degraded up to 95% of MO, demonstrating their exceptional photocatalytic effectiveness. The improved photocatalytic efficiency is explained by the plasmonic effect of AgNPs, which lowers the oxidation state of silver nanoparticles and increases the formation of reactive oxygen species. The excellent photocatalytic activity of AgNPs produced through green synthesis has shown to be a promising molecule that can be used in dye degradation and environmental remediation. As a future prospect, the molecule could also be used to check its efficiency in waste water treatment procedures. This study gives details of plant assisted synthesis by demonstrating its potential as a sustainable method to create AgNPs with acceptable features for many applications.

Published: February 2025

Atomic physics is an important discipline because of its significant role in studying the properties of chemical elements and ions related to daily life, industry, research and health. Therefore, the atomic properties were carefully studied in atoms and ions for ten-electron systems configuration (Ne, Na+1,Mg+2,Al+3), where MathCad 2014 was used to program a set of equations using the Hartree -Fock approximation for subatomic shells (1s 2s 2p). The atomic properties of these shells were calculated, and the expected values of a single electron hr n 12i and the distance between two electrons r12n for different values of n{−2 ≤ n ≤ 2} were calculated.
The expected values of the attractive potential energies of the electron and the nucleus , the repulsive potential energies of two electrons , the kinetic energy , the potential energy , and the total energy  were calculated, and the values were (127.5461, 160.4920, 197.4479, 238.3486) respectively. Note that all functions are standard and all calculations are done using atomic units. To our knowledge, this new paper presents the first attempt to deal with ten electrons, study their presence in each shell and compare the values obtained with existing studies on this topic, which is important in many applications of physics and chemistry.
Активні способи боротьби із безпілотними літальними апаратами у сучасних умовах ведення бойових дій
Authors: Завацький Олександр , Талкін Юрій , Мельниченко Андрій
Published: February 2025

Досвід ведення російсько-української війни засвідчив, що змінюються основні підходи до ведення сучасних війн, збройних конфліктів та бойових дій. Однією з таких яскравих змін є застосування протиборчими сторонами у районах ведення бойових дій ударних безпілотних літальних апаратів, а саме FPV-дронів та дронів зі “скидами”, для виконання завдань вогневого ураження озброєння та військової техніки, особового складу противника, військових та інших об’єктів різного призначення. Фактично ці дрони стали високоточними засобами вогневого ураження тактичного рівня, чого досі не було у світовій практиці. Зазначена зміна відбулась через виникнення на початку 2023 року на лінії бойового зіткнення “снарядного голоду” з обох сторін. Виходом із цієї ситуації стало застосування цивільних безпілотних літальних апаратів мультироторного типу, які були розроблені для проведення різного типу розваг (перегони дронів тощо) та у подальшому переобладнувались в ударні варіанти. Сили і засоби протиповітряної оборони Збройних Сил України стали малоефективними проти малорозмірних, малопомітних і маловисотних безпілотних літальних апаратів першого класу, а висока швидкість та маневреність значно ускладнили їх знищення засобами вогневого ураження загальновійськових підрозділів. Унаслідок цього постала нагальна потреба в боротьбі з ними шляхом застосування не тільки активних засобів вогневого ураження, радіоелектронної боротьби та інших, а й пасивних засобів інженерної підтримки, аерозольного маскування тощо. У зв’язку із цим автори статті ставили собі мету визначити наявні й ті, що розробляються та випробовуються, активні способи боротьби із сучасними безпілотними літальними апаратами. Провідним методом для дослідження цієї проблеми є узагальнення, що дозволяє визначити активні способи боротьби із безпілотними літальними апаратами у сучасних умовах. У статті розглянуто такі способи, а також типові засоби та їхнє призначення й основні характеристики, за допомогою яких реалізуються ці способи. Матеріали статті становлять практичну цінність для органів військового управління, вищих військових навчальних закладів та наукових установ, яких залучено до процесів розроблення озброєння та військової техніки, боротьби із безпілотними літальними апаратами, а також обґрунтування вимог до цього озброєння та військової техніки.
