Democracia y violencia contra las mujeres en política: La encrucijada del empoderamiento en dos escenarios. Estudio de casos en Chile y Argentina
Authors: Aranda Friz Veronica
Published: October 2024

Si bien América Latina ha avanzado en la implementación de acciones afirmativas respecto a la participación políticas de las mujeres, la violencia contra las mujeres en política (VCMP) no se ha logrado erradicar. Así, el presente artículo busca identificar y describir las estrategias discursivas en que se manifiesta la VCMP. Para ello se analizan tres casos en dos países: Chile y Argentina. En el primero se examinan los discursos de VCMP que recibieron parlamentarias que participaron en los debates de la Ley de Reforma Constitucional N.° 21.216, que permitió una representación paritaria en el proceso constituyente. Por su parte, en Argentina se examina el caso de las autodenominadas Ramonas Atrevidas, que lograron que se reconociera la VCMP al interior de los partidos políticos, y el caso de las denominadas Ambiciosas Paritaristas, que lograron que la Justicia se expida por la paridad de resultados y no solo en las listas electorales.
That mysterious chain of happiness: The 19th
century and the professionalization of mexican
female writers
Authors: Romero Chumacero Leticia
Published: October 2024

"Against what people usually believe, female writers did exist in the 19th Century in Mexico. These words use biographic testimonies from that time to demonstrate their existence. Through them is evident an authorial self-perception based on the way some of those women of letters talked about themselves, acknowledged their peers, were invited to literary validation spaces and accepted those invitations, received retribution in exchange for their written work and expressed their calling, the seriousness and discipline they managed themselves in the field of creative writing.Keywords: Mexican literature; authorship; professional writing; women and literature; literary history"
Soledad Manero, a spirit of freedom
Authors: Ramírez Olivares Alicia V.
Published: October 2024

"Soledad Manero is a nineteenth-century writer of great prestige in her time, however, over the years the relevance of her work in Mexican literature has been erased. That is why this research aims to give a broad overview of the writer’s work to highlight the contributions she had given to Mexican literature and the importance within the genealogy of Mexican female literature. For this reason, from the concepts of different approaches with a gender perspective such as those of Marcela Lagarde and Judith Butler, it will be shown how Manero relies on Spiritism, to show the relevance of the spirit, beyond of gender and precepts that prevent women from developing.Keywords: Spiritism; women writers; voice and writing; 19th Century literature; female literary bases"
From a world’s destruction to the emergence
of another: Colonial semiosis in Mancebo
de Arévalo’s Tafsira and Chimalpahin’s
Ocho relaciones
Authors: Díaz Márquez Ilse
Published: October 2024

"The Hispanist Luce López-Baralt outlined some decades ago a relationship between the aljamiado-morisco literature and the Indian chronicles of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th. While the former account for the loss of Islamic culture suffered by the Spanish Moors, in the latter we see the emergence of a language that names the reality of the New World. In this article we recover the proposal of López-Baralt to analyze comparatively an aljamiado text, the Mancebo de Arévalo’s Tafsira, and a mestizo chronicle, the Chimalpahin’s Ocho Relaciones, from the notion of colonial semiosis of Walter Mignolo, with the intention of showing how the destruction of the known world is related in both works through a series of communication strategies that place the authorial voices in certain locus produced by the processes of conquest and colonization.Keywords: Moors; aljamía; chronicles; communication; mestizaje"
La de Bringas: The naturalist context
and Critical metaobservation
Authors: Nalbone Lisa
Published: October 2024

"In this rereading of the novel, I propose that its reception in the periodical press at the time of its publication highlights the author’s naturalist tendencies. In the articles that appear in El Imparcial, La Illustration Ibérica, and La América, to name a few, literary critics often use the term naturalista to describe the content of the novel. This essay elucidates how these critics’ metaobservations of Galdós’s observation of the society that surrounds Rosalía, in turn, shed light on multiple doctrines, theories, and philosophies relating to the social, scientific, and literary discourses of the time. It also explores how these metaobservations dialogue in precursive fashion with contemporary analyses of this novel.Keywords: Spanish Naturalism; French Naturalism; periodical press; Isabeline literature; Galdós’s segunda manera"
Determinants of the functionality of cost accounting systems in social welfare organizations: Exploratory study using cluster analysis
Authors: Ahmad Syed Raziuddin , Khan Imran Ahmad
Published: October 2024

This paper presents a quantitative exploration of the functionality of cost accounting systems and their determinants in social welfare organizations. We conducted a questionnaire survey of managers of social welfare organizations running special nursing homes for the elderly and conducted a cluster analysis based on the data collected. The questionnaire was created based on the scales used in previous studies, with some new scales developed. For data analysis, the statistical analysis environment R was used. The clValid package of R was used to assess the validity of the cluster analysis. Based on the results of the analysis in this paper, it is expected that social welfare organizations that pursue cost leadership strategies and have a strong public interest orientation will benefit greatly by being able to utilize a highly functional cost accounting system. Such organizations will be able to improve their business efficiency by utilizing cost information, and their social contribution activities based on the resulting resources will truly be a contribution to public welfare. The findings from this study are of practical significance because they can be used by business managers of social welfare organizations to review the functionality of their cost accounting systems. We also focus on the degree to which nonprofit organizations focus on social contribution activities (in this paper, we call this public interest orientation). The public interest orientation of an organization is thought to affect the functionality of the cost accounting system in the same way as the organization’s strategy, but there has not been enough quantitative research on this point. By focusing on the public interest orientation of social welfare organizations, this study contributes to deepening our knowledge in this area.
Interleukin 31 mediates pruritus in horses
Authors: Craig Nicky M. , Munguia Nathalie S. , Trujillo Andrew D. , Chan Ann M. , Wilkes Rachel , Dorr Mackenzie , Marsella Rosanna
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE

This study investigated the effects of recombinant equine IL-31 (eIL-31) in vivo and in vitro.

METHODS

Equine IL-31 mRNA sequences were verified by sequencing. Recombinant eIL-31 was produced using mammalian and bacterial expression systems. From November 2019 through February 2021, 12 normal horses, 6 to 10 years old with no history or clinical signs consistent with allergic skin disease, were injected ID with eIL-31 and saline in 2 challenge studies. Pruritus-associated behaviors were recorded for a minimum of 15 minutes preinjection and 4 hours postinjection. Adherent monocytes from 3 pruritic horses, exhibiting insect bite hypersensitivity and/or atopic dermatitis, were stimulated with bacterial eIL-31, and subsequent phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was measured by western blot and AlphaLISA.

RESULTS

The bacterial eIL-31 was produced with greater purity than the mammalian eIL-31 (> 95% vs 70%). Pruritus was elicited by both recombinant proteins. The mammalian eIL-31 induced mild pruritus (cumulative seconds spent itching postinjection ranged from 6 to 313). The bacterial eIL-31 induced marked pruritus in some horses (a cumulative maximum of 5,529 seconds spent itching in 1 horse) and a milder response in others (range of cumulative seconds spent itching, 17 to 2,313). Most pruritus occurred after 2 hours and subsided by 4 hours postinjection. Bacterial eIL-31 induced STAT3 phosphorylation in adherent monocytes from allergic horses.

CONCLUSIONS

In this proof-of-concept study, IL-31 was found to mediate pruritus and was associated with STAT3 phosphorylation in horses as in other species.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Interleukin 31 is a promising therapeutic target for equine allergic pruritus.
Citing Jorge Luis Borges
Authors: Henricksen Wes
Published: October 2024

The works and ideas of Jorge Luis Borges have had a major impact on literature, movies, art, philosophy, and pop culture. His influence in these areas has been documented and studied. To date, however, there has been no significant effort to catalog or discuss the impact Borges has had on legal scholarship. The impact is significant. Hundreds of law journal articles, essays, and book reviews reference Borges and his work. For instance, authors have used Borges stories as a lens through which to analyze legal doctrines and developments. Others have quoted Borges to help convey particular ideas or principles. This paper aims to identify all references to Borges and his work in the legal scholarly literature, and to analyze the ways authors rely on Borges to determine the nature and extent of Borges's influence on legal scholarship. My aim is primarily to evaluate the scholarly treatment as a whole, rather than focus on individual cases. As such, I have attempted to compile a comprehensive list of Borges references in the legal scholarship to date. If I have omitted any scholarly works that should be included, please let me know and I will happily add them.
Using Structural Equation Modeling to Explore the Influence of Environmental Concern on the Willingness to Pay for Green Energy and Green Products – the Case of Poland
Authors: Michalak Szymon , Bartkowiak Paweł , Stachowiak-Krzyżan Magda
Published: October 2024

Concern for the sustainability of the natural environment is garnering increasing interest across the globe. Environmental issues may significantly impact individuals and societies in various ways, such as by influencing behaviors aimed at adopting more sustainable lifestyles and making eco-friendly purchasing decisions. This study investigates the attitudes of Polish consumers towards pro-environmental behaviors, specifically focusing on environmental concern (EC), promoting pro-environmental behavior (PPB), the belief that Poland should move away from coal (MAFC), and willingness to pay (WTP). Data on these variables were collected in 2023 from a sample of 554 Polish respondents selected using a non-random sampling method. Results were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings revealed that environmental concern (EC) influences promoting pro-environmental behavior (PPB) and that both EC and PPB affect the belief that Poland should move away from coal (MAFC). Additionally, promoting pro-environmental behavior (PPB) and MAFC were found to influence willingness to pay (WTP). However, EC was not found to have a significant direct impact on WTP. The hypotheses were tested using a structural equation model, validated by such fit indices as CMIN/df = 2.542 (<3.0), RMSEA = 0.053 (<0.08) and CFI = 0.985 (>0.90).
Polish Gen-Z Consumers’ Attitudes to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Authors: Pacut Mirosław
Published: October 2024

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a management concept that has emerged in response to society’s growing sensitivity to the negative externalities of economic activity. The market success of contemporary enterprises is no longer determined solely by their ability to innovate and select tools for shaping their market positions, but also by their capability to define their roles within the social environment of which they are undoubtedly a part. This article aims to explore how Polish Generation Z consumers perceive and respond to CSR initiatives implemented by enterprises. Understanding their perspectives is particularly crucial, given that the attitudes, preferences, and behaviors of this demographic will soon significantly influence market landscapes and enterprises’ potential to attain success in them. The findings reveal that young Polish consumers place considerable importance on corporate social responsibility. This significance is reflected in their overall attitudes towards CSR initiatives and their willingness to actively support these efforts, such as through their market choices.
Virtualization of Service Consumer Behavior in Poland – A Post-Pandemic Perspective
Authors: Kucharska Barbara , Malinowska Mirosława
Published: October 2024

This article explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the virtualization of consumer behaviors in the Polish service sector, emphasizing shifts in service delivery mechanisms. The pandemic acted as a catalyst, accelerating the adoption of virtual solutions across various sectors including tourism, gastronomy, culture, education, and healthcare, as necessitated by social distancing and other restrictive measures. The article first outlines the integration of digital solutions into various service sectors, focusing on the impact of these technologies on consumer behaviors and service delivery. Next, utilizing an online survey conducted in November 2022 with a sample of 1,100 respondents, whose socio-demographic profile corresponds with that of Polish internet users (Ariadna panel), the study examines consumer perceptions and the effectiveness of digital transformations during the pandemic. The findings indicate a high appreciation among Polish consumers for virtual solutions that improved access to and use of services during restrictive periods. However, the continuation of these virtual engagements post-pandemic appears selective, with significant inclination towards solutions in administrative, food delivery, and telemedical services, while long-term engagement in virtual cultural services is less favored. This study underscores the dual role of necessity and technological advancement in reshaping consumer interactions with service sectors, suggesting a sustained yet selective future for virtual service consumption post-pandemic.

Authors: Priego Leoncio Marañon , Valdez Benedicta María Dominguéz , Torres María del Rosario López , Rosales Raymundo Lozano
Published: October 2024

Objective: This study analyzes the elements that influence decent work in companies in Tulancingo, Hidalgo. This is because currently the personnel working in organizations infer that they do not have a decent job, due to the fact that there is no pleasant work environment, communication is not usually adequate, in addition to the fact that they do not provide training to perform their functions, which impacts on not having economic and job stability. With the results of this research, we intend to identify and relate the factors that impact human capital when having a decent job.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study analyses related aspects of decent work, human capital and decent work, as well as human capital and decent work, the impact of decent work on social economic development, challenges in the implementation of decent work, aspects such as employment, social protection and labour rights.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology used in this research was a quantitative approach, with a total of 383 people from companies in the Tulancingo region, Hidalgo, considering the different sectors, in such a way as to obtain information corresponding to the variables of: employment, social protection, labor rights and social dialogue; which allowed to identify the most relevant elements that impact decent work.
 
Findings: A measurement instrument was used that includes three dimensions of decent work, with a sample of 383 people. Among the results obtained, 53% feel comfortable in their workplace; however, only 42% feel identified with the company. This is related to working conditions, since 33% of people do not have the materials and supplies that allow them to carry out their work effectively, in addition to the fact that the workload is extreme and tiring.
 
Social Impact: The identification of factors that influence decent work will be very useful for companies in Tulancingo, Hidalgo, because strategies can be implemented to have a better work environment, in such a way that operational efficiency is achieved within the different companies, achieving the participation of the members that make it up and having better results by meeting organizational objectives.
 
Originality/Value: This research paper shows how social protection, labor rights and social dialogue impact employability and decent work in companies in Tulancingo, Hidalgo. The identification of factors will be of great relevance not only for organizations, but also for the personnel who work in them and contribute to their performance.

A new interpretation of soft-sediment deformation features (SSDs) in the Parktown Formation (lower West Rand Group); the physical processes of deformation during deposition
Authors: Hein K.A.A. , Goslin L.
Published: October 2024

In the Parktown Formation of the lower West Rand Group (Witwatersrand Supergroup), remarkably well-preserved soft-sedimentary deformation features (SSDs) occur in a number of locations in three stratigraphic horizons across the Vredefort Mountainland and in key sites in Johannesburg. The SSDs were the inevitable products of static liquefaction during early deposition in the Witwatersrand Basin. The trigger to static liquefaction is interpreted to be autogenic and related to cyclic fluctuations in pore fluid pressure(s) during capped dewatering. Allogenic triggers are not indicated. We suggest that static liquefaction was an integral physical process to sediment deposition on the Parktown Formation offshore platform, but a process not previously recognised as important to the modification of the West Rand Group stratigraphy across the Witwatersrand Basin.
Petrology and spatial correlation of Black Belly tuff cone basalts, Tanzania
Authors: Halász N. , Tóth T. M.
Published: October 2024

Most of the tuff cones in the North Tanzanian region have not been studied in depth. Therefore, the range of known rock types is limited, and the relationships between these cones are unknown. Our study focused on the Black Belly tuff cone located close to Oldoinyo Lengai. Petrographically, the studied Black Belly samples are alkaline basalts with microcrystalline groundmass and phenocrysts. The groundmass consists of plagioclase, clinopyroxene, Ti-magnetite, apatite, and the phenocrysts are predominantly clinopyroxene, altered (to calcite and serpentinite) olivine, and carbonate minerals. While Oldoinyo Lengai and Black Belly rocks are not similar or directly related, the mineralogy and mineral chemistry of the studied Black Belly samples are similar to those representing the Crater Highlands’ volcanoes. Based on their compositions, the Black Belly clinopyroxenes define one end-member, and Oldoinyo Lengai clinopyroxenes represent the other end-member, while the Crater Highlands’ samples are of a transitional composition. The compositions of the other minerals (olivine, feldspar, and magnetite) confirm this theory. According to mineral chemical data, the Black Belly samples crystallised in several steps under high pressures (5.6 to 6.6 kbar) and temperatures (750 to 900°C) from an alkali basaltic melt. Considering the new chemical and thermobarometry mineral data presented here and the structural evolution of the region, Black Belly cannot be petrologically part of Oldoinyo Lengai. Instead, it defines an end-member of a series, with Oldoinyo Lengai representing the other extreme and the Crater Highlands volcanoes in a transitional position.
Detrital zircon in Pleistocene aeolianite of the Isipingo Formation at Cape Vidal, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, gives age and Hf isotope signatures without provenance significance
Authors: Andersen T. , Elburg M.A. , Kapesi L.
Published: October 2024

Pleistocene (50 to 70 ka) aeolianite of the Isipingo Formation (Maputaland Group) at Cape Vidal, northern KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa, contains a combination of three detrital zircon age fractions (A: 940 to 1150 Ma, B: 470 to 720 Ma, C: 230 to 280 Ma) that are also known from Holocene sediments in eastern South Africa, Mesozoic – Cenozoic sandstones in southern Mozambique and from the Carboniferous to Jurassic Karoo Supergroup. Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic bedrock of the Kaapvaal Craton, which is exposed in the drainage basins of rivers that have provided detritus to coastal sedimentary basins, is represented by one single Archaean zircon. Combined laser Raman micro-spectroscopy and estimates of accumulated alpha radiation dose from U and Th concentrations indicate that the virtual absence of zircon older than late Mesoproterozoic cannot be attributed to selective removal of radiation-damaged zircon grains by abrasion during erosion and transport. The Isipingo Formation sandstone at Cape Vidal is a product of sedimentary recycling, potentially involving river transport from the continental hinterland, water- and wind-borne drift parallel to the coast and local recycling. Because of the similarity in detrital zircon distribution patterns of the sandstone and all of its potential Palaeozoic to Cretaceous sedimentary precursors, detrital zircon data cannot provide useful information on the relative importance of these processes, or on the routing of detritus to its final site of deposition.
Application of modern seismic attributes in the characterisation of mass transport deposits: Orange Basin, South Africa
Authors: Amaechi P.O. , Opuwari M.
Published: October 2024

The southern Orange Basin is structurally complex, with a tectonic history dating back to the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous. Mass movement events triggered by gravity and tectonic activities have resulted in the deposition of mass transport deposits (MTDs) on the seafloor. These MTDs have been documented as contributors to geohazards, posing risks to underwater infrastructure. Evidence of MTDs has been observed in 3D seismic surveys in the southern portion of the Orange Basin. However, limited studies have explored the geomorphological expression of MTDs using seismic attributes to delineate their shape, size, and anatomy in this region. The MTDs in the study area exhibit features such as basal shear surfaces (BSS), grooves, ramps, and striations. Four distinct mass transport packages were interpreted, primarily within the extensional regime, in the study area. These MTDs, spanning the Neogene to Coniacian periods, have thicknesses ranging from 300 m to 500 m. The MTDs are generally chaotic with semitransparent reflections. MTD D, being the largest, exhibits a maximum thickness of about 500 m and extends approximately 30 km in width.

Authors: Specker Julián , Perez Maria Elena , Maquieira Jorge
Published: October 2024

Introducción: Las fracturas de tibia son lesiones frecuentes. En los niños existe una mayor capacidad de curación debido al mayor grosor y mejor vascularización que presenta su periostio. Como resultado, la mayoría pueden tratarse de manera exitosa de forma no quirúrgica. Está descrito el tratamiento funcional para estas fracturas, siguiendo los principios desarrollados por Sarmiento. Dada la falta de evidencia actual acerca del tratamiento funcional en este grupo etario, realizamos el análisis del mismo mediante una seriede casos tratados siguiendo este método.Materiales y métodos: Se incluyeron pacientes que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, tratados mediante tratamiento funcional siguiendo los principios desarrollados por Sarmiento. Se evaluaron clínica y radiográficamente. Se evaluó la técnica registrando tiempos para cada período en este grupo etario, así como la satisfacción con el tratamiento de los pacientes y padres y/o tutores. Todas las complicaciones relacionadas fueron documentadas.Resultados: Evaluamos un total de 15 pacientes, con al menos 6 meses de seguimiento. La edad promedio fue de 11.7 años. Todas las fracturas consolidaron, el tiempo promedio hasta la consolidación fue de 7.6 semanas. El período agudo de 3.4 semanas y el período funcional de 4.2 semanas promedio respectivamente. Todas las fracturas consolidaron con una reducción aceptable. Existió un 100% de satisfacción tanto de los pacientes como de los padres ó tutores con el tratamiento implementado. Dos pacientes presentaron complicaciones menores.Conclusión: El tratamiento funcional para las fracturas de pierna en niños entre 10 y 15 años es una técnica segura, reproducible, con buenos resultados funcionales, que le permite tanto a los pacientes y a sus cuidadores gran independencia durante el período de curación.

Objetivo: Apresentar a temática da doença cárie na população pediátrica, assim como identificar os fatores que influenciam sua ocorrência e os tratamentos citados na literatura. Revisão bibliográfica: A prevalência da doença cárie na dentição decídua, segundo dados preliminares do SB Brasil (2020), mostram que aos 5 anos de idade, há um percentual de 82,9% de dentes cariados, seguido de 12,9% restaurados, revelando assim, um cenário de extensão da cárie na infância em nosso país. No que se refere aos tratamentos, vários são citados na literatura, a depender da extensão da lesão, que vão desde a fluorterapia e vernizes fluoretados, para remineralização de lesões iniciais, tratamentos minimamente invasivos, como o Tratamento restaurador Atraumático (ART), até tratamentos mais invasivos, como endodontia ou exodontias. Considerações finais: Apesar da diminuição da prevalência da cárie dentária nas últimas décadas, ainda é uma problemática ativa, principalmente em países subdesenvolvidos. Por isso, a abordagem preventiva multidisciplinar é de extrema importância, ainda mais quando se trata da infância, visto todo o impacto na saúde da criança a longo prazo.

Moral and aesthetic development of officers as a tradition of the Russian army of the 19th – early 20th centuries (based on the work of Russian writers)
Authors:   State Fire Academy of EMERCOM of Russia, LIPSKY Vladimir N.
Published: October 2024

In the article the author based on an analysis of a number of works of Russian fiction, studies how writers portrayed their heroic officers in various “typical” circumstances in which they, in turn, could prove themselves. It is shown that, regardless of the environment (military educational institutions and family education), future officers, as a rule, turned out to be morally prepared for the defense of the Motherland and grew up to be its true patriots. Excerpts from documents of that period in the field of education are given, from which it follows that they aimed educators to “spur” among those educated “a keen interest in valor”, to never forget about the glory of their ancestors, to remain faithful to the Oath under any circumstances. It is noted that future officers were developed into well-rounded people.
Differentiating Brazilian and European Portuguese Multiword Adverbs
Authors: Muller Izabela , Mamede Nuno , Baptista Jorge
Published: October 2024

The identification of Portuguese multiword adverbs in texts such as de fininho ‘sneakily’ or em plena luz do dia ‘in broad daylight’ is an essential part of determining the meaning units forming a text. This paper explores the boundaries of adverbial multiword expressions in European and Brazilian Portuguese varieties. The primary purpose is to determine the frequency and distribution of the expressions in the pt TenTen18 corpusfrom Sketch Engine. Furthermore, we aim to analyze lexical and grammatical differences, as well as some cases of ambiguity and faux-amis(false-friends) between the two varieties. Finally, we seek to establish the boundaries of the variety-specific lexicon (European and Brazilian), which is part of our ongoing investigation on identifying, collecting, and providing a syntactic-semantic description of multiword adverbs in (Brazilian) Portuguese based on similar studies for European Portuguese, French, and Spanish. We adopt and adapt the classification proposed by Molinier and Levrier (2000), based on the Lexicon-Grammar theoretical-methodological framework.
Psychological mechanisms of group influence on individual behavior
Authors: Ganat S. A.
Published: October 2024

The paper analyzes psychological mechanisms of group influence on individual behavior, including conformity, social suggestion, authority pressure, and imitation, which have a decisive influence on individual behavior formation in social groups. Special attention has been paid to these mechanisms’ transformation under the influence of digital media and new communication technologies in the context of globalization. Digital platforms influence on the political activity of young people has been studied, which emphasizes the increasing role of online communications in shaping group behavior. Group norms and expectations, often imposed through digital platforms, actively shape social identity and individuals’ behavior, increasing their susceptibility to group pressure and conformity. Leadership styles have also been found to significantly influence group dynamics by altering group members’ behavioral responses. Cross-cultural studies show the importance of contextualization, as responses to social pressure vary across cultures. There is a need for further research on the long-term effects of social influence and the development of methods to minimize its negative effects on individual behavior. The study results contribute to a deeper understanding of the social influence mechanisms in the context of globalization, noting the importance of an interdisciplinary approach.
Theoretical aspects of the intangible assets system in the process of enterprises strategic management: definition, characteristics, classifications
Authors: Sedelnikov V. M.
Published: October 2024

The article studies theoretical aspects of the intangible assets system in the process of enterprises strategic management. In particular, it highlights the points of view of Russian and foreign scientists regarding the definition of the intangible assets concept. The author’s definition of intangible assets as a set of a company’s resources and assets, which do not have a physical form, are used in the process of creating goods (services) for a long period of time (more than a year), are involved in the creation of values that provide a company a competitive advantage in the market and meet the requirements of identifiability (an object separation from other resources), the presence of future profits from their use, and direct or indirect control by a company. The basic criteria of intangible assets are identifiability, control over them, and the presence of future profits from their use. Despite the variety of available approaches in foreign literature to the intangible assets classification, in our opinion, the classification, which includes human, customer, and structural assets (capital), is fundamental. The article concludes that foreign authors shift their research focus from organizational (structural) intangible assets, such as corporate culture, organizational structure, and brand, to consumer and attitudinal (customer) ones, such as the level of customer satisfaction and loyalty and relationships value. The methodological approaches analysis to intangible assets assessment, the issues of their creation, modeling, and use by companies is a direction for further research.
Changing relationships between armaments production and exports and state defense expenditures
Authors: Repnikov D. A.
Published: October 2024

The present study is relevant, because in different countries of the world in recent years there have been ambiguous dynamics among armaments and military equipment production and exports and changes in state defense expenditures. Modern geopolitical conflicts distort the existing picture of interrelations between the above parameters, and the article assesses their changes. In particular, as the study result, the underlying hypotheses on the relationships between supply and demand in the global market of armaments and military equipment have been formulated. The key countries analysis showed that the dynamics of indicators in them is determined by different reasons, but the author came to the conclusion that the main factors of changes in the trends of armaments production and exports and defense expenditures are the following: the expansion of illegal circulation of armaments and military equipment in some countries, increased vulnerability of some countries and their direct involvement in military-political conflicts, as well as differentiation of countries’ approaches to national security, which causes different attention to defense capabilities and the defense industry development. At the same time, there are almost always sharp changes and volatility of the indicators under consideration during the periods when a country is in the stage of industrialization or transition to a new technological mode.
A Unified Theory of Electron-Rich and Electron-Deficient Multicenter Bonds in Molecules and Solids: A Change of Paradigms
Authors: Manjón Francisco Javier , Osman Hussien , Muñoz Alfonso , Rodríguez-Hernández Plácida
Published: October 2024

Here, we propose a multicenter bond theory that addresses the origin and mechanisms behind the formation of electron-rich multicenter bonds (ERMBs) and electron-deficient multicenter bonds (EDMBs), with special emphasis on molecules and solids primarily composed of electron-rich elements. We show that both types of multicenter bonds have the same origin, but a different mechanism of formation upon increasing electronic density; e.g., upon reduction, increase of pressure, or chemical substitution of elements by their heavier analogs. In addition to our recent demonstration of the formation of EDMBs in electron-rich systems, such as pnictogens, chalcogens, and chalcogenides related to phase change materials (see H.H. Osman et al., J. Mater. Chem. C 2024, 12, 10447), here we present other examples of solids with electron-rich elements forming EDMBs and ERMBs. We conclude that EDMBs can occur not only as three-center-two-electron (3c-2e) bonds in molecules but also as linear or quasi-linear two-center-one-electron (2c-1e) bonds in extended solids. In addition, we propose that pure ERMBs can only occur as linear or quasi-linear three-center-four-electron (3c-4e) bonds. All these claims suppose a change of paradigms regarding the current understanding of ERMBs and EDMBs. To understand the formation of ERMBs and EDMBs in electron-rich elements, we show some of the simplest geometries of linear EDMBs and ERMBs along one (1D), two (2D), and three (3D) dimensions that can be found in the hypercoordinated multicenter units of molecules and solids with electron-rich elements and propose a new way of notation of these hypercoordinated units. Finally, we show that both types of multicenter bonds, in general, do not violate the doublet/octet rule.
Catalytic Resonance Theory: Turnover Efficiency and the Resonance Frequency

Programmable catalysts exhibiting forced oscillation in the free energy of reacting surface species were simulated to understand the general mechanisms leading to efficient use of input energy. Catalytic ratchets with either positive or negative adsorbate scaling exhibited oscillation conditions of both high and low turnover efficiency, yielding catalytic turnover frequencies either close to or significantly lower than the applied catalyst oscillation frequency, respectively. The ‘effective rate,’ defined as the product of the catalytic turnover frequency (TOF) and the turnover efficiency (η,TOE), was limited via two catalytic mechanisms: a leaky catalytic ratchet existed when molecules repeatedly traversed backwards through the catalytic transition state upon catalyst oscillation, while a catalytic ratchet with low surface participation exhibited reduced formation of gas-phase final product due to low surface product coverage. A single applied frequency yielding maximum effective catalytic rate defined as the ‘resonance frequency’ provided maximum combined benefit for catalytic rate and efficiency.

The development of machine learning models to predict the regioselectivity of C(sp3)–H functionalization reactions is reported. A dataset for dioxirane oxidations was curated from the literature and used to generate a model to predict the regioselectivity of C–H oxidation. The performance of the model for a specific substrate could then be improved by adding additional datapoints that were selected using acquisition functions. A series of different acquisition functions were compared, and acquisition functions based on active learning were found to outperform those based on molecular and site similarity. Furthermore, it was found that smaller machine-designed datasets can give accurate predictions when larger, randomly-designed datasets fail. The use of acquisition functions for dataset enlargement significantly reduced the number of datapoints needed to perform accurate prediction. Finally, the workflow was shown to be applicable to predicting the regioselectivity of arene C–H radical borylation. These studies provide a quantitative alternative to the intuitive extrapolation from “model substrates” that is frequently used to estimate reactivity on complex molecules.
