Embeddedness of students with special educational needs in higher education
Authors: Hrabéczy Anett , Pusztai Gabriella
Published: June 2023

Previous research has examined the institutional and extra-institutional embedding and network of students, however, we still know little about the network of students with special educational needs. What makes this research unique is that it compares the characteristics of SEN-A and SEN-B students. Therefore, the embeddedness of students with special educational needs within the institution is investigated using quantitative research method. The research sought an answer to the question of what characteristics can be used to describe the network of students with special educational needs, and whether there is a difference between SEN-A and SEN-B students. Based on the results, there are significant differences in the case of students with special educational needs, whether they are embedded more strongly in the environment inside or outside the institution.
Designing co-curriculum experiential learning practice in permaculture for studying science classics
Authors: Li Ming
Published: June 2023

General education (GE) plays a critical role in university education. It embraces a broad intellectual pursuit through the study of and reflection on liberal arts, science knowledge, and real-world situations. The inspiring yet challenging common-core GE foundation course UGFN1000 In Dialogue with Nature, which requires students to study science classics, was launched at CUHK in 2012. To enhance students’ learning of the selected science classics, such as Origin of Species and Silent Spring, co-curriculum experiential learning practice in permaculture was designed and employed. This paper illustrates the design of the pre-session preparation, practice sessions, and post-session reflection. It provides a practical and insightful reference to educators interested in developing experiential learning through permaculture in GE and beyond.

Authors: Bastos Marina de Souza , Albuquerque Augusto Cleiciele Albuquerque
Published: June 2023

As novas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN) para o curso de graduação em Administração trouxe novos direcionamentos quanto ao desenvolvimento de competências pelas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), alinhando o perfil dos egressos com base nas expectativas do mercado. Diante disso, o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar as grades curriculares do curso de Administração das Universidades Federais (UF) brasileiras com conceito de excelência (ENADE 2018) quanto a sua preocupação com o desenvolvimento de soft skills de seus alunos. Metodologicamente optou-se por uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória com coleta de dados nos endereços eletrônicos das UF. Como resultado, das trinta e uma UF estudadas, apenas duas desenvolviam as seis soft skills analisadas neste estudo. Conclui-se que, as UF têm um longo caminho pela frente no desenvolvimento de tais competências, principalmente no que se refere a inteligência emocional e a flexibilidade. Em tempo, conclui-se também que as novas DCN trazem direcionamentos importantes para as IES, e que, para isso, talvez seja necessário uma reavaliação curricular, em busca de um alinhamento entre hard e soft skills dos egressos, tornando-os mais competitivos para o mercado.

Authors: Dutra Freitas Lucas , Borchardt Ramos Kimberly , Guedes Frazzon Ana Paula , Yasin Wayhs Carlos Alberto
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent in the number of cases and deaths in the world. The intestinal microbiota performs several functions in the human host, and can directly influence health, affecting metabolism, the immune system and the production of hormones. Studies show that dysregulated intestinal microbiota or dysbiosis associated with virulence mechanisms may be related to the appearance of CRC. Among the microorganisms that make up the intestinal microbiota, the Enterococcus faecalis stands out. This Gram-positive bacterium is commensal of the gastrointestinal tract; however, it can act as an opportunistic pathogen, through the mechanisms associated with virulence. Objective: The aim of this literature review was to describe the role of virulence mechanisms of E. faecalis associated with CRC. Material and Methods: Literature review of articles published in the ScienceDirect and PubMed databases in the last 20 years (2002–2022), using the keywords Enterococcus, faecalis and colorectal cancer. Results: Of a total of 313 articles found, 39 were included for the development of this bibliographic review. The virulence mechanisms of the E. faecalis most pointed out in the literature associated with CRC are reactive oxygen species (58.9%), genomic instability (46.1%), 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (15.4%), gelatinase (12.8%), lipoteichoic acid (10.2%), aggregating substance (10.2%), toll-like receptors (7.7%), plasminogen activator urokinase (2.56%) and phosphotransferase system (2.56%). Conclusions: It was possible to verify that some mechanisms described in E. faecalis, mainly the reactive oxygen species, might be associated with the development of CRC.

Análise da política de educação especial e inclusiva: contrariedades e expectativas
Authors: Foltran Elenice Parise , Foltran Junior Dierone César
Published: June 2023

O presente texto tem por objetivo analisar os últimos desdobramentos em relação as concepções e políticas públicas educacionais para a Educação Especial e Inclusiva no país, especificamente as dispostas no Decreto nº 10.502/2020 que institui a Política de Educação Especial: equitativa, inclusiva e com aprendizado ao longo da vida. Quanto a metodologia adotada, caracteriza-se como um estudo qualitativo, de abordagem documental e bibliográfico, pautado em uma análise crítica. A análise aponta que o Decreto instituído pelo governo Bolsonaro é um retrocesso quanto as concepções de Educação Especial e Inclusiva e contrarias as políticas anteriores que buscavam romper com as propostas segregadoras e excludentes da Educação Especial no Brasil. A mudança política da gestão nacional e revogação do Decreto traz novas expectativas para uma retomada para a Educação inclusiva de fato.
Avanço do movimento em defesa do homeschooling no Brasil com o governo Bolsonaro: breves apontamentos acerca das influências do neoconservadorismo
Authors: Vaz Ana Eduarda Taras , Darcoleto Carina Alves da Silva
Published: June 2023

Este texto abordou sobre o avanço do movimento em defesa da regulamentação do Homeschooling no Brasil com o governo de Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022), buscando apontar influências do neoconservadorismo nas pautas defendidas tanto pelos entusiastas da Educação Domiciliar quanto por Bolsonaro. O referencial teórico-metodológico que fundamenta as discussões e análise é o materialismo histórico e dialético, o qual possibilita que se busque compreender o Homeschooling no seu movimento histórico e nas suas contradições, ou seja, para além da imediaticidade de alguns discursos predominantes dentre os seus defensores. A análise apontou que a temática do Homeschooling recebeu notoriedade com a candidatura/governo Bolsonaro, bem como possibilitou afirmar que o movimento pela regulamentação do Homeschooling no Brasil está relacionado com princípios do neoconservadorismo, os quais se pautam, sobretudo, na defesa de uma educação restrita, em consonância com os valores morais e ou religiosos das famílias das crianças e dos jovens, em contraposição a uma educação plural, que ocorra na e com a coletividade, como é o caso da escola. A defesa da educação domiciliar não parece estar preocupada com o direito da criança à educação, de fato, mas sim com o direito individual da família, como se as crianças e jovens fossem propriedades de seus pais e ou responsáveis.
De apartidário só o nome: as movimentações do escola sem partido
Authors: Dias Jennifer Caroline , Darcoleto Carina Alves da Silva
Published: June 2023

O objetivo central deste artigo consiste em discutir o “Movimento Escola Sem Partido” (MESP), defendendo que, apesar de se apresentar à sociedade como uma iniciativa “neutra”, “apartidária” e “autônoma”, na verdade consistiu em uma afirmação da educação tecnicista, através do silenciamento sistemático do pensamento crítico presente em grande parte das concepções pedagógicas. Para tanto, reporta-se às origens do MESP, buscando apontar suas estratégias organizativas e relações de seus defensores com a sociedade política; estabelece-se algumas relações entre as articulações e desenvolvimento do movimento e o contexto econômico-social-político em que este ganha maior notoriedade e, ainda, indica-se aspectos (ultra)conservadores que orientam o MESP, de modo a desnudar sua aparência de neutralidade e mostrar seus interesses ideológicos de classe. O referencial teórico-metodológico que embasa as discussões e análises é o materialismo histórico dialético, que possibilita a compreensão do MESP como expressão da luta de classes, tendo em vista que é parte da defesa de uma visão e orientação de mundo que busca fazer do consenso uma das armas contra as possibilidades de avanços sociais e, sobretudo, contra a transformação da sociedade capitalista.
The nexus between project management and service delivery in the eThekwini Municipality
Authors:   , Mnembe Fikile Queen
Published: June 2023

Service delivery is placed as the main function of municipalities in Section 152 of the South African Constitution. However, municipalities generally struggle to deliver public services efficiently. As a result, municipalities typically endure ongoing pressure to enhance service delivery and make prudent decisions with integrity and transparency. One of the reasons for service delivery challenges across South African municipalities is the lack of proper and effective project management. Generally, municipalities struggle to implement projects that harmonise national government policies and procedures. This study explores the nexus between project management and public service delivery using a case study of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality. A qualitative methodological approach was adopted to address the research questions raised in the study. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect qualitative data from 30 workers at the eThekwini Municipality. The thematic data analysis approach was adopted to analyse data. The study found that, there is a relationship between project management and service delivery, there are gaps in the link between project management and service delivery, whilst document reviews established that policies in place are not reviewed and are mostly implemented as drafts. Seven key challenges of project management in the eThekwini Municipality were identified and their impact, as well as recommendations to improve service delivery in the municipality. It is recommended that there is need for ethical leadership in addressing project management and service delivery challenges in local government. Ethical leadership ensures transparency and accountability in project management and service delivery
Improvement of in vitro antimicrobial and antifungal activities of peppermint essential oil conjugated with chitosan and promising antiviral properties
Authors: ŞEN Pınar , BOLOURİ Parisa , ŞAHİN Fikrettin
Published: June 2023

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance has necessitate the new approaches. The peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) (PEO) oil is known for its antimicrobial and antifungal activities. However, the employing of it in practial applications is troublesome because of the sensitivity to the environmental conditions. Thus, it was immolized into chitosan to eliminate the difficulties in its use and increase its activity. It was observed that the immobilization of the PEO into the chitosan (PEO@Chitosan) influenced the biological activities resulting in less minimum Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values in addition to protecting the essential oil by the chitosan as environment-friendly biomaterial. The determined MIC values of the target product (PEO@Chitosan) are between 0.001-0.95 mg/mL for the studied bacterial strains and 0.006-0.36 mg/mL for the studied fungi isolates, which led us to consider them as new therapeutic alternative. In vitro antiviral studies gave us that even if the encapsulation of the essential oil into the chitosan made the prepared product still promising as acandidate for the antiviral therapy treatment.

The effect of surfactants and water-cement ratio on abrasion resistance of hydraulic concrete are presented. A series of laboratory tests and field surveys of hydraulic structures were carried out to determine the effect of various factors on wear resistance of hydraulic concrete to abrasive effects. Studies were carried out by comparison of laboratory tests for abrasion of mortar and concrete. Sulfite-alcohol bard (SAB) was used as a hydrophilic surface-active additive and as a hydrophobic soap. Structural changes of properties were studied by electron microscopic analysis. The presence of dependencies of the abrasion of concrete on several factors was established: water-cement ratio and strength, the type of filler, the fineness of cement grinding, the age of the samples, the use of surfactant additives, and the method of laying.

Antimicrobial or Antiseptic Cleansers for Wounds
Authors: Tran Khai , Spry Carolyn
Published: June 2023

For chronic wound care, the majority of evidence suggested that antiseptic agents do not add additional clinical benefits compared with saline. No differences were observed between antiseptics and saline in the incidence of adverse events.

For surgical wound care, irrigation with antibiotic agents is likely associated with lower rates of surgical site infections compared with saline irrigation. Depending on the type of antiseptic agent, type of surgery, and depth of infection, antiseptic irrigation may have superior or similar efficacy compared with saline in surgical site infection and wound healing rates. Indirect evidence suggested antibiotics were not superior to antiseptics for prevention of surgical site infections. No differences were observed between antiseptic irrigation and saline irrigation in the incidence of adverse events and length of hospital stay.

For acute traumatic wound care, a limited number of studies provided mixed results on the effectiveness of povidone-iodine compared with saline for preventing infection. The effect of antiseptic agents on bacterial load was unclear. No robust conclusions could be drawn due to very low certainty of the evidence.

The economic evaluation study showed that irrigation with hypochlorous acid preserved wound cleanser was a cost-effective strategy in the short term compared with saline for the treatment of severely complex wounds during ultrasonic debridement. However, we have little confidence in the findings due to several limitations in the methods of the study.

We did not identify any studies that compared the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of antimicrobial or antiseptic wound cleansers with antimicrobial dressings or of different types of antimicrobial or antiseptic wound cleansers for the management of wounds.

We did not identify any evidence-based guidelines regarding the use of antimicrobial or antiseptic wound cleansers for the management of wounds.
Is transport of microplastics different from that of mineral dust? Results from idealized wind tunnel studies
Authors: Esders Eike Maximilian , Sittl Sebastian , Krammel Inka , Babel Wolfgang , Papastavrou Georg , Thomas Christoph Karl
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Atmospheric transport disperses microplastic particulate matter to virtually every environment on the planet. Despite the well-known long-range transport, only few studies have examined the fundamental transport mechanisms for microplastics and contrasted it with the existing body of knowledge accumulated for mineral dust over the past decades. Our study addresses this research gap and presents results from wind tunnel experiments, which examine the detachment behavior of microplastics ranging from 38 to 125 µm in diameter from idealized substrates. We here define 'detachment' as microspheres detaching from a substrate and leaving the field of observation, which includes several transport modes including creeping, rolling, directly lifting off. The detachment behavior of polyethylene microspheres (PE69) and borosilicate microspheres (GL69) of nominally the same physical diameter (63–75 µm) are contrasted across hydrophilic to hydrophobic substrates. We further examine the effect of microsphere-microsphere collisions on the detachment behavior of both polyethylene and borosilicate microspheres. Differentiating between collision independent microspheres and collisions dependent microspheres revealed that collisions impact detachment from enhancing to mitigating. Further, results indicate that GL69, as a hydrophilic particle, is highly dependent on substrate hydrophobicity and PE69 is less affected by it. A more detailed comparison between GL69 and PE69 regarding surface and substrate hydrophobicity is masked by the influence of capillary forces. Moreover, the smallest polyethylene microspheres behave similar to mineral microspheres. Results demonstrate that PE69 and GL69 as proxy for plastic and mineral dust, respectively, detach at u* between 0.1 to 0.3 ms-1 fitting to the prediction of the simple wind erosion model by Shao et al. (2000). In the observed range of rH, capillary forces can increase the median detachment by about 0.2 ms-1 for PE69 and GL69. Polyethylene microspheres, smaller than 70 µm in diameter, behave like borosilicate microspheres of the same size. For bigger microspheres, the lesser density of polyethylene drives their higher erodibility. We conclude that it is no surprise, that like mineral dust, plastic dust is found all around the globe, transported via the atmosphere.
Exploring the joint probability of precipitation and soil moisture over Europe using copulas
Authors: Cammalleri Carmelo , De Michele Carlo , Toreti Andrea
Published: June 2023

Abstract. The joint probability of precipitation and soil moisture is here investigated over Europe with the goal to extrapolated meaningful insights on the potential joint use of these variables for the detection of agricultural droughts within a probabilistic modeling framework. The use of copulas is explored as a parametric approach often used in hydrological studies for the analysis of bivariate distributions. The analysis is performed for the period 1996–2020 on the ERA5 precipitation and LISFLOOD soil moisture datasets, both available as part of the Copernicus European Drought Observatory. The results show an overall good correlation between the empirical frequency series derived from the two datasets (Kendall’s τ = 0.42±0.1), but also clear spatial patterns in the tail-dependence derived with both non-parametric and parametric approaches. About half of the domain shows symmetric tail-dependences, well reproduced by the Student-t copula, whereas the rest of the domain is almost equally split between low and high tail-dependences (modeled with the Gumbel family of copulas). These spatial patterns are reasonably reproduced by a random forest classifier, suggesting that this outcome is not driven by chance. This study stresses how a joint use of precipitation and soil moisture for agriculture drought characterization may be more beneficial in areas with strong low tail-dependence, such as southern France, northern UK, northern Germany, and Denmark in this study, and how this behavior should be carefully considered in drought studies.
Brief communication: Impact of swell waves on atmospheric surface turbulence: A wave-turbulence decomposition method
Authors: Bakhoday Paskyabi Mostafa
Published: June 2023

Abstract. To characterize the turbulence quantities such as vertical momentum fluxes during swell wave conditions, we develop a wave-turbulence decomposition method to split the high-frequency surface wind data into wind and wave time series. By assuming the frozen turbulence field, the method replaces an empirically fitted spectrum to the observed wind spectrum within the wave-affected frequency band. Time series of waves and turbulence are then synthetically generated based on a proposed wind-wave coherence function. Using two days of sonic anemometer wind measurements at 15 m height, the upward momentum transfer could be observed during high-steady (∼ 7 m/s) and decaying wind conditions. The vertical wind spectra show, however, higher energy within the wave frequency bands during low winds, old sea, and stable boundary layer condition. During the high and decaying winds, the atmospheric stability changes between unstable and stable conditions, blurring the wave signals due to the thermally/mechanically generated turbulence.
Nutritional Parameters of Goat Milk and Its Consumption in Rural Communities
Authors: MAGAYA Rutendo , MUTİBVU Tonderai , MBİRİRİ David
Published: June 2023

A survey was conducted using a pretested, semi-structured questionnaire in Mutoko district to determine the extent of goat milk consumption and reasons for the possible low-to-non-consumption of goat milk. A total of 120 respondents were randomly selected. Fresh goat milk samples were also collected from Mashona and Matabele goat breeds and analysed using a Milko-scan FT 6000 (FOSS, HillerOD, Denmark) to determine nutrient composition. Results from the study indicated that goat milk is lowly utilized – with only 14% of the surveyed households consuming goat milk. The respondents cited that goat milk was lowly utilised because goat milk consumption is traditionally uncommon in the area (57.70%) and has an undesirable strong smell (17.06%). Consuming goat milk was associated with reduced social status (10.66%). Respondents that had access to sufficient cow milk (13.96%) do not consume goat milk. Estimated mean milk yield per goat per milking, as reported in the study was 310.0±114.02 mL. High levels of education were associated with increased tendency to consume goat milk (χ2=246; df=40, p=0.000). Mashona goat milk had higher lactose (4.36%) and protein (4.77%) but lower fat content (3.45%) than Matabele goat milk. While goat milk is less popular in the study area, the milk from these indigenous goat genotypes is characterised by good nutritional value comparable to the accepted values of good quality milk. The quality of the milk, coupled with feeding and breed selection interventions to increase yield, has potential to be a rich nutrient source for small-holder communities threatened by malnutrition.

The reassessment of the geoecological state of landscape-lake systems (LLS) and their cartographic modelling employing the methodology of landscape limnology has been conducted. The purpose of this study was to characterize the essence of the applied methodology and to evaluate the geoecological state of LLS based on the case study of the Lake Bile basin, Rivne Natural Reserve, Ukraine and to develop cartographic models of the aquatic complex and its catchment as an information basis for the integrated management of water and land resources of LLS and sustainable nature management. The results obtained from the field instrumental research conducted within the Bile Lake basin were used for substantiating the use of laboratory methods and QGIS software, for producing the catchment land use map and assessing the geoecological state of the basin, for developing the bathymetric model of the reservoir and determining hydrological and hydrochemical parameters, for analyzing the lithological composition of the rocks of the exploratory well, elucidation of the genesis of the reservoir, for the first-time production of landscape maps of the natural-aquatic complex and water catchment, and for establishing landscape-metric characteristics of the lake-basin system. The degree of the anthropogenic load on landscape complexes in the 100-meter zone around the lake was assessed. The performed research showed that the conceptual foundations of landscape limnology, as a modern transdisciplinary scientific direction, are an innovative and effective tool for assessing the geoecological state of LLS, and scientifically supporting the integrated management of its water resources and sustainable nature management.
3D data integration for geo-located cave mapping based on unmanned aerial vehicle and terrestrial laser scanner data

Published: June 2023

The Akçakale cave is a significant natural and cultural heritage site in the Black Sea region of eastern Turkey. The complex geometry and difficult-to-access areas of the cave have made the use of traditional mapping methods challenging. To overcome these limitations, this study utilized TLS and UAV technology to produce highly accurate 2D and 3D data for cave management and risk assessment purposes. The TLS system was used to create a detailed 3D point cloud of the cave interior, while the UAV system generated a 3D model of the surface topography outside the cave. The two sets of data were combined in the GIS environment using a geodetic network established in the study area, providing a common geodetic reference system for both TLS and UAV data. The study found that the cave area is 13,750 m2, which is smaller than the area of 18,000 m2 that was previously estimated using conventional measurement methods. The volume and ceiling heights of the cave were calculated using the elevation models generated from TLS point cloud data. The 3D point cloud data were also used to map dripstone locations on the floor and ceiling of the cave, and the boundaries of rock blocks on the ground were precisely determined. The study identified potential risks associated with the cave, particularly the risk of rockfall in the source rock areas around the cave entrance and the southern part of the cave. The nearest building to the cave is approximately 35 meters away, and all the buildings in the area are less than 300 meters from the cave. In the event of the cave collapse, the buildings in the southern part of the cave are at risk of rockfall. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of combining data from TLS and UAV systems to generate broad and sensitive cave mapping and risk assessment data, which are critical for cave management and safety. The collected data can be used for cave stability investigations and rockfall risk assessments. This study provides a foundation for future explorations of the Akcakale cave and highlights the potential for modern surveying techniques to enhance our understanding of complex geological structures such as caves.
An evaluation of the characteristic aftershock parameters following the 24 January 2020
Mw = 6.8 Elazığ-Sivrice (Türkiye) earthquake
Authors: Öztürk Serkan
Published: June 2023

A comprehensive evaluation of region-time-magnitude behaviours of aftershocks following the 24 January 2020 (Mw = 6.8) Elazığ-Sivrice (Türkiye) earthquake was achieved by using the characteristic parameters such as b-value, p-value, Dc-value and Mamax value of aftershock occurrences. The b-value was calculated as 0.82 ± 0.02 by considering the magnitude of the completeness value as Mcomp = 1.9, and it is relatively small compared to typical b ≈ 1 for the magnitude-frequency relationship of aftershocks. This low b-value may also be caused by the abundance of aftershocks with ML ≥ 4.0. The p-value was computed as 0.80 ± 0.02 with c-value = 0.279 ± 0.098 and is smaller than the global value of p ≈ 1. This low p-value may be due to a relatively slow decay rate of aftershock activity, and the modified Omori model seems appropriate for the estimation of decay parameters. The Dc-value was estimated as 1.87 ± 0.07. This large value shows that aftershocks are homogeneously distributed and more clustered at larger scales/in smaller areas. The temporal variation of b-value indicates that decreases in b-value may result from the gradual increase in the effective stress following the larger aftershocks. The lowest b-values and Mamax values greater than 5.0 were observed in the north, south and southwest parts of the mainshock including Pütürge and Erkenek segments. These results show that there is an apparent relation between the smallest b-values and the largest Mamax values. The largest p-values were estimated in and around the main shock including Pütürge segment. The regions with the smallest b-value and the largest p-value have high stress and coseismic deformation, respectively. Stress variations and coseismic deformation are extremely effective on the changes of b- and p-values. As a remarkable result, aftershock hazard following the mainshock may be considered extremely related to aftershock parameters, and detailed analyses of the region-time-magnitude characteristics of aftershocks are recommended for a preliminary evaluation following the mainshock.
The Conflation of the Justification Framework for Infringement of Aboriginal Rights with the Oakes Test in Tsilhqot’in Nation v British Columbia
Authors: Côté David
Published: June 2023

In Tsilhqot'in Nation v British Columbia, the Supreme Court of Canada replaced the test for the justification of Aboriginal rights infringements with a framework that is nearly indistinguishable from the Oakes test. The goal of this paper is to show that this development in the law, and thus the current justification framework, is undesirable and erroneous. This paper submits four reasons to arrive at this conclusion. First, the justification test proposed in Tsilhqot'in mirrors the test rrequired to prove an infringement of Aboriginal rights, whose burden of proof falls on the Indigenous party, and hence shifts the entire onus of proving justification from the Crown to the Indigenous party. Second, the conflation of the Oakes test with the justification framework makes justification effectively impossible, which may cause reluctance amongst courts to recognize Aboriginal rights. Third, Aboriginal rights are fundamentally different from Charter rights and should not be subjected to a test designed for the Charter. Fourth, the incorporation of the Oakes test into the justification framework runs contrary to established principles of constitutional interpretation. These four reasons merit abandoning the framework proposed in Tsilhqot'in. Otherwise, this area of the law will be riddled with doctrinal flaws and Indigenous interests will suffer.
Medidas desesperadas. Crisis de las finanzas, apropiación de las rentas eclesiásticas y construcción del Estado en el reinado de Pedro el Grande en Aragón (1276-1285)

Published: June 2023

Este artículo examina una de las medidas adoptadas por Pedro III de Aragón en la última parte de su reinado, cuando ordenó incautar los bienes de los cargos eclesiásticos que quedasen vacantes. Después de situar en su contexto esta decisión, se analiza uno de los casos en los que el rey se apropió de las rentas eclesiásticas, el breve periodo en que estuvo sin cubrir el cargo de abad de Montearagón (agosto-septiembre de 1284). Las cuentas de los bailes locales permiten observar esta apropiación y la transferencia de una parte importante de los ingresos abaciales en favor de algunos nobles para pagarles los gastos y soldadas de su participación en el asedio de Albarracín en esas fechas. Estas cuentas informan, además, sobre las características del gobierno de la Corona de Aragón en estos años y, en particular, sobre el sistema contable y financiero que sostenía el Estado.
Estatutos, ‘consuetas’ y ‘ceremonieros’. Memoria litúrgica de la catedral de Toledo (ss. XIII-XVI)
Authors: Lop Otín María José
Published: June 2023

En este trabajo se alude a una parte muy concreta del corpus litúrgico de la catedral de Toledo. Se trata de un pequeño conjunto de libros y cuadernos, que, bajo el nombre de consuetas, costumbres o ceremonieros recogían los usos propios de cada lugar: calendario de festividades, rango de cada celebración, memorias y aniversarios. Todos ellos eran el perfecto complemento de los Misales, Breviarios y Manuales u Ordinarios utilizados, respectivamente, para la celebración de la misa, el oficio y la administración de los sacramentos u otros ritos. A ellos sumaré la información que ofrecen estatutos y constituciones capitulares, en los que se regulaban muchos detalles del ceremonial catedralicio y del papel que desarrollaban los diferentes colectivos que conformaban el cabildo e incluso sus servidores laicos.

İşletmelerin elektronik ticarete geçme kararı, marka değerine olumlu veya olumsuz biçimde yansımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, e-ticaretin marka değeri üzerindeki etkisi Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren ve BIST’te işlem gören bir işletme üzerinden incelenmiştir. Araştırmada, marka değerini ölçmek amacıyla finansal temelli Hirose Yöntemi kullanılmış; verileri incelenen işletmenin 2015 yılında e-ticarete başlamasına istinaden, araştırma iki dönem olarak ele alınmıştır. 2011-2015 yıllarına kapsayan analiz “e-ticaret öncesi”, 2016-2020 yıllarını kapsayan analiz ise “e-ticaret sonrası” dönem olarak adlandırılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, e-ticaret öncesi döneme ait marka değeri, e-ticaret sonrası marka değerine göre yüksek çıkmakla birlikte; işletmenin e-ticaret gelirlerinin raporlanmasındaki eksiklik araştırmada dikkat çekici bir ayrıntı olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu nedenle, işletmelerin bağımsız denetim ve faaliyet raporlarında yer alan finansal tablo dipnotlarında bu önemli veriye dair açıklamalarda bulunulması ve TDHP kapsamında 603 E-Ticaret Kapsamındaki Satışlar veya Online Satışlar Hesap ismi ile yeni bir hesap kullanılması önerilmektedir.

Una reflexión hacia el crecimiento social y económico desde la planificación para el desarrollo en Colombia
Authors: Mosquera Paniagua Diana Catalina , Molina Santana Luisa Fernanda
Published: June 2023

El trabajo y el crecimiento económico y social del país configuran un escenario continuo de reflexión y debate importante que hoy día compromete el bienestar de toda la sociedad. Es por esto que reflexionar frente a ¿cómo la planificación para el desarrollo debería contribuir en el crecimiento económico y social nuestro país? se hace fundamental. Para ello, situaremos la discusión en dos ejes centrales: primero, la incidencia del neoliberalismo en nuestro contexto y los efectos que este supone, particularmente en el mercado laboral; y posteriormente, los problemas, retos y alternativas de la planificación para el desarrollo en este panorama, para promover así el crecimiento social y económico. Esta reflexión está soportada en una revisión documental que permitió hacer ejercicios comparativos, tanto en la incidencia del neoliberalismo como en los problemas, retos y alternativas. A la par, busca aportar elementos que contribuyen al impulso crecimiento nacional.
Concepciones de Desarrollo y su Implementación en Colombia.
Authors: Barrera Bernal Luis Alejandro
Published: June 2023

Este documento busca preguntarse cómo se concibe el desarrollo, como se imponen e implementan sus máximas dentro del concepto de interés público, hace un barrido somero por algunas de las teorías y escuelas relevantes sobre este y trata de acercarse a la aplicación de estas concepciones en el país, observando la constitución política y las propuestas de gobierno de la última década. La crisis de los últimos meses en los sectores agrario, minero y en general el sector social contrasta con el éxito del sector financiero colombiano, los indicadores positivos como el PIB, a las cifras sobre progreso social que exponen el gobierno nacional y distrital paradójicamente se contraponen las dudas al observar los conflictos que surgen diariamente y las cifras y perspectivas económicas y sociales que sobre el país pronostican organismos internacionales. A manera de conclusión se hace una exploración del concepto de felicidad y como este se no se puede observar solo desde la óptica del desarrollo económico, en caso particular el PIB (Producto Interno Bruto) pues como lo exponen algunos autores se pierden de vista un sinnúmero de variables que hacen perder de vista varios sectores y actividades económicas.
