Published: July 2020

This study aimed to evaluate the morphology and biometry of fruits and seeds, as well as germination potential of Mollinedia clavigera Tul. seeds, of the family Monimiaceae, an endemic species from Brazil. The internal and external structures have been identified for the evaluation of morphology. For biometric characteristics of fruits and seeds, we considered the diameter and length, plus the weight and number of seeds per kilogram. Germination was evaluated under the temperature conditions of 20, 25 and 30ºC in two substrates (paper and vermiculite). As a morphological result, we identified common features to the Monimiaceae family, as well as the presence of Curculionidae larvae in the seeds. Biometric data showed mean values of 7,42 mm in length and 6,13 mm in diameter of fruits, 6,91 mm in length and 5,07 mm in diameter of seeds. Results have identified the temperatures of 20 and 25º C better for germination, wich happend 23 days after experiment beginning.

The use of N fertilizers can contribute to seedling production in native species, such as Alibertia sessilis (Vell.) K. Schum, a fruit plant of the Cerrado ecoregion. Considering that there are few studies on mineral nutrition for this species, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of N on the growth and photosynthesis photochemical of A. sessilis. The experiment was carried out in plastic pots in a greenhouse with five N (urea) concentrations: 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg kg-1. The experimental design used was a randomized block design with four repetitions. At day 180 after transplantation, morphometric and photochemical characteristics, including biomass and seedling quality, were evaluated. Seedling survival, the stem diameter of the harvest, and the height/diameter ratio were not influenced by N. The maximum height was 14.38 cm with 54.2 kg-1 N. The greatest number of leaves and value of the chlorophyll index were found in seedlings produced with maximum doses of N. The photochemical characteristics of photosynthesis, except initial fluorescence, were positively influenced with N concentrations between 60-85 mg kg-1 N. The largest fresh leaf and stem biomass was 2.391 and 0.257 g plant-1 with 54.0 and 33.0 mg kg-1 of N, respectively. The multivariate analysis of the major components explained 79.81% of the remaining data variability. The seedlings of A. sessilis responded positively during the initial growth phase, reflected in their biomass, with N concentrations close to 50.0 mg kg-1.

Published: July 2020

This study aims at defining the appropriate model to describe the stem tapering of trees of Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis hybrid, and at evaluating the economic viability of obtaining wood multi-products at different interest rates. The volume of 60 sample trees were determined, and stem tapering was described according to the models proposed by Demaerschalk, Prodan, Kozak, and Ormerod. The best model was used to convert the trees into assortments so that the wood could be optimized for the product that offers the maximum economic return with the minimum possible waste. Then, an economic viability analysis was performed for wood multi-product production, using the Net Present Value (NPV) and applying interest rates of 8 to 12% p.a. The Demaerschalk model is the most appropriate one for the study of stem tapering and assortment determination in short-rotation stands of the Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis hybrid intended for multi-products in the region covered by the study. The allocation of wood for multi-products is a viable option for stands of the Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis hybrid, according to the interest rates applied in the present study.

Published: July 2020

Morphological and Radical Parameters Associated with the Seedlings Quality of Anadenanthera peregrina (L.) Speg.in Different Substrates. In this research, we evaluated the effects of different substrate formulations on the quality of angico-vermelho seedlings (Anadenanthera peregrina (L.) Speg). The tested substrates corresponded to eight different formulations: Bioplant®, Carolina Soil, Coffee husk, Coconut fiber and Vermiculite. In the nursery phase, the following were evaluated: height of the aerial part (H); neck diameter (D); fresh and dry biomass of the aerial parts and radical system; dickson quality index (IQD); number of roots regenerated in tubes; and length of roots regenerated in boxes. In the field phase, the following were evaluated: survival; crown diameter; number of lateral roots; and length of the pivoting root. To produce seedlings, a completely randomized design with eight treatments and four replications was used, and for the evaluation of the root regeneration potential (P.R.R.), six replications were used. In the field, the experimental arrangement consisted of subdivided plots, arranged in randomized blocks with four replications. Seedlings with higher averages for most of the evaluated characteristics were produced in the formulation of substrate containing 50% Bioplant® + 30% coffee husk + 20% coconut fiber. The values related to the IQD were positively related to the substrate formulations containing Bioplant®, coffee husk and coconut fiber, which were also positively associated with P.R.R. The substrate formulations containing Bioplant®, coffee husk and coconut fiber resulted in seedlings with a higher P.R.R., evaluated in boxes. Substrates containing Bioplant®, Carolina Soil, coffee husk and coconut fiberfavored the production of seedlings with a better radical system and, consequently, better in the field.

Authors: Martini Angeline , Biondi Daniela , Batista Antonio Carlos
Published: July 2020

The microclimatic improvement is often cited as one of the benefits generated by urban trees, however, there are few studies which quantitatively address this effect. The aim of this paper was to compare the microclimate of streets with and without trees. Therefore, three samples containing a stretch of street with and without trees were selected, with the street with trees being composed of different species. The temperature, relative humidity and wind speed data were measured by automatic Kestrel® meteorological ministations installed on the street with trees and another in the street without trees. The data collection period was from 9 AM to 3 PM, and the monitoring interval was every 1 minute during all four seasons starting in the winter of 2011. The comparative analyses were done using the Student’s t-test (99%). The results indicated that the air temperature in a street with trees was on average 1.7 °C lower than a street without trees, the relative humidity was 6.9% higher and the wind speed was 0.04 m/s lower.  There was no statistical difference for temperature between the street with “ipê” in the winter and spring. There was no difference for wind speed in the summer between the street with other trees and the street with “ipê” and “tipuana”. It was concluded that street trees provide a pleasant microclimate, and this influence was statistically significant.

Published: July 2020

This research was carried out in the Private Natural Heritage Reserve (PNHR) “Caminho das Tropas”, located in Palmeira, Paraná state - Brazil, in an area dominated by natural fields. The objective was to characterize the shrub fuel of the grassy-woody steppe in the area. For the sampling, an area of 25 hectares was fenced and 100 plots sized 50 x 50 m (0.25 ha) were allocated. The plots were grouped into two treatments: one containing over 50% density and the other less than 50% density and regular distribution of shrub vegetation. The average load of fuel obtained for the first category was 1.2886 Mg.ha-1, being 0.9667 Mg.ha-1of living material and 0.3219 Mg.ha-1 of dead material. For the second category, the load was 0.9328 Mg.ha-1 , with 0.6516 and 0.2812 Mg.ha-1of live and dead fuel respectively. The average moisture content of the fuel in the first treatment was 87.90% and in the second, 81.49%. The characteristics found in the shrub fuel of the study area are compatible with the results found in the literature for Brazilian natural grasslands vegetation.
CAN ARAUCARIA FOREST REMNANTS REGENERATE AFTER 70 YEARS OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY? A CASE STUDY ON CAÍVAS IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL
Authors: Hanisch Ana Lúcia , Radomski Maria Izabel , Lacerda André Eduardo Biscaia de
Published: July 2020

In Southern Brazil, forest fragments are commonly used for agroforestry systems (AFS) - called caívas - focused on erva-mate and livestock production. Although the caívas have helped maintain forest cover, there is a general lack of understanding of the effects of this system on species diversity and their potential for ecological restoration. Aiming to contribute to a better understanding of the forest dynamics (trees and regeneration) of these AFS, we present a six-year case study in which we monitored a caíva that has been used for animal husbandry for 70 years. We observe that forest management in the caíva modified the population structure mostly through reductions in the density of a few adult tree species. On the other hand, the potential regeneration shows consistent growth, including several species not found in the adult population. The caíva showed high levels of resilience in terms of regeneration, despite the extractive use of these remnants over several decades. This result demonstrates that the strategies used herein can help to restore forests with a dense and diverse forest cover within caívas. With the correct management of this regeneration potential, it is possible to maintain healthy and diverse forests that are being conserved through use.
AHP APPROACH APPLIED TO MULTI-CRITERIA DECISIONS IN ENVIRONMENTAL FRAGILITY MAPPING

Published: July 2020

Geographic Information System tools, combined with mathematical methods for complex geospatial scientific investigations, are essential for environmental zoning. Among these tools, environmental fragility models evaluate criteria related to the physical attributes of the landscape to ensure multi-disciplinarity of the information plans used in a study. However, questions are raised on the priority allotted to each criterion or environmental factor within a multi-criteria analysis model. In this sense, the analytic hierarchy process is another mathematical model that is used in decision theory, which sorts criteria hierarchically. This study aims to use the AHP method as a tool to support multi-criteria decision making as applied to environmental fragility mapping, using the Jequitinhonha River Basin, Minas Gerais, Brazil, as a case study. The application of the AHP method provided a hierarchy of five important environmental criteria for the environmental fragility mapping. The use of AHP allowed the modeling of empirical evaluations in mathematically consistent results, to provide better conciseness in geospatial processes. Therefore, it is an adequate method to minimize subjectivity in environmental and territorial planning. It can also help the management of priority zones for conservation, preservation, or ecological restoration.

Authors: Jesus André Tavares , Fiedler Nilton César , Carmo Flávio Cipriano de Assis do , Juvanhol Ronie Silva
Published: July 2020

The implementation process of mechanized systems which occurred in the last decades in Brazil has brought numerous benefits of profitability, quality and safety for forestry activities. However, mechanization can cause harmful effects to the health of operators, among which include the excess of vibration that is responsible for numerous disorders such as Raynaud’s syndrome. The objective of this study was to evaluate the degree of exposure to vibration of chainsaw operators in cutting eucalyptus trees on farms. Thus, a portable accelerometer with a triaxial attachment positioned at the fingers of the operators was used to measure the data. The methodology proposed by NHO-10 was used to classify the degree of exposure. According to the results, 55% of the operators presented above the acceptable levels of exposure, requiring interventions which enable reduced hand-arm vibration. The vibration effects were observed to be more severe in the left hand socket of the operators. Based on the obtained results, it is concluded that there is a need for preventive and corrective measures which reduce the exposure of the operators as an intervention in the design of the machines, more rotation between operations, and greater care with the maintenance of the machines, training and reduced exposure time.
Aesthetic Interpretation and Construction of an Illusionist Painting in the Qing Dynasty: A Semiotic Approach to Learning
Authors: Castilla Manuel V.
Published: July 2020

As a discipline, semiotics has gained recognition in many fields. Cultural background plays an important part in the field of the visual art. Given the rich cultural context of the pictorial hybridization Chinese-European in the early Qing dynasty, the pictorial works can be used in studying semiotics. This article addresses a discourse on some semiotic reflections in painting. It focuses on the application of the theory of the semiotic scientist Charles Peirce that has proven to be suitable for analyzing pictorial works. The model chosen as a subject for investigation is a painting in ink on silk titled “Portrait of Qianlong’s Consort with Yongyan as a Child,” painted using Western techniques in the eighteenth century. The analysis of the portrait offers an appropriate basis to develop some semiotic reflections on this work of art by contributing to aesthetic and artistic awareness. Semiotic structures were employed to develop an understanding of the pictorial forms by turning each element into a tool of communication. The semiotic reading of this work is concerned with the visual art education and sensorial message of the painting.
El Cine Yost and the Power of Place for Mexican Migrants in Orange County, California, 1930–1990
Authors: Gonzales David-James
Published: July 2020

This article explores the history of El Cine Yost (The Yost Theater) in Santa Ana, California, and the role of the Louis and Phoebe Olivos Sr. family in creating space for the development of ethnic Mexican identity and community in Orange County, California from 1930 to 1990. Alongside traditional archival materials, this article draws on oral history interviews, photographs, ephemera, and newspaper clippings obtained from the Olivos family and patrons of El Cine Yost to demonstrate the emotional ties that individuals and communities form to space and place, as well as the identities and relationships that emerge out of them. In this people-and-place–centered narrative, I argue that El Cine Yost exemplifies the central connections between space, place, and identity in the lived experiences of ethnic Mexicans across the US-Mexico borderlands. Further, this history disrupts the master narrative of Orange County as a place of Anglo-American/European settler history, which has ignored and left undocumented the affirmative presence and contributions of Latinas/os in the region.
Atenção psicológica à gestante infectada por Zika Vírus: revisão integrativa da literatura e das Políticas Públicas Nacionais
Authors: Tavelin Cristina Martins , Cunha Ana Cristina Barros da , Abel Rodrigo , Ribeiro Maria Carolina Pereira
Published: July 2020

A recente epidemia de Zika vírus no Brasil, associada à microcefalia em recém-nascidos, resultou na necessidade de atenção integral à saúde das gestantes. Diante disso, o objetivo desta revisão integrativa é analisar como as políticas públicas nacionais e estaduais e a literatura científica brasileira têm discutido o cuidado psicológico para essa população. Com base em levantamento bibliográfico feito nas bases de dados Scielo, Lilacs e Portal Capes, usando os descritores “Zika vírus” AND “atenção à saúde”, foram incluídas nesta revisão 10 referências, sem restrição de ano. Observou-se que, enquanto os documentos públicos enfocam aspectos técnicos e biológicos da epidemia para prevenção, diagnóstico e acompanhamento dos casos de microcefalia, apenas duas referências científicas abordam criticamente o tema, mas sem uma grande discussão sobre o cuidado à saúde mental das gestantes infectadas pelo Zika vírus. Conclui-se que é urgente e necessário investir na produção científica nacional sobre o tema.
O estatuto da autoconservação na primeira Teoria Pulsional Freudiana
Authors: Campos Érico Bruno Viana , Godeguezi Vinicius Martinucho , Lima João Gabriel Bertucci
Published: July 2020

Este ensaio teórico discorre sobre o estatuto da pulsão de autoconservação no âmbito da teoria de Freud, com o objetivo de analisar os referenciais organicistas e funcionalistas como fundamento epistemológico da psicanálise. A teoria das pulsões sofre transformações substanciais ao longo da obra freudiana, sendo sujeita a diversas interpretações que, em geral, relegam a um segundo plano ou mesmo excluem as pulsões de autoconservação do campo da psicanálise. Apresentam-se os fundamentos dessa teorização nos textos freudianos sobre a primeira teoria pulsional e a complexidade de sua caracterização, em especial as questões de sua fonte e sua filiação a funções biológicas, a labilidade de seu objeto, o seu papel na dinâmica defensiva e no desenvolvimento psicossexual. Discutem-se as interpretações desse legado a partir de sua dupla filiação: humanista e naturalista. Conclui-se que essa problemática é um ponto de tensão importante na caracterização da heterogeneidade epistemológica da psicanálise como campo de saber.
Key Creative Features of Syntactic Design in English-Language Advertising Discourse
Authors: Malyuga Elena N. , Tomalin Barry
Published: July 2020

The study suggests that the patterns of syntactical arrangement should be viewed as indispensable creative features in designing advertising messages and postulates that three crucial aspects need to be addressed in order to comprehensively describe the specifics and benefits of a well-reasoned application of syntactic inventory of the English language for the purposes of constructing advertising texts. The three aspects—namely sentence type, message length and rhetorical tropes—are discussed at length from the discursive-pragmatic point of view and drawing on the texts of English-language advertisements of non-specific thematic affiliation. The study uses continuous sampling to ultimately make out the most commonly utilized sentence types, the most extensively preferred promotional message length, and the most frequently registered syntactic rhetorical tropes. The latter are further on filtered down to make up a list of seven syntax-driven rhetorical tropes of the most valid efficiency, followed by substantiation and analysis thereof. The study makes a number of conclusions suggesting that ad efficiency is strongly premised on the adequate comprehension and application of syntactic inventory, which implies selecting the most appropriate sentence type, considering the benefits of syntactic compression, positioning the arguments in the most advantageous way possible, and making use of the most expedient syntactic rhetorical tropes in order to garner the attention of a potential consumer, add an element of surprise and build up a more favorable attitude towards the product being advertised.
A Research Investigation of Contextualized Grammar Instruction from the Perspective of English Language Lecturers and Students at Al-Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University
Authors: Alkhawaldeh Ahmad
Published: July 2020

This study investigated implicit versus explicit EFL grammar instruction by surveying the beliefs of university lecturers and students at the College of Languages and Translation at Al-Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University/KSA regarding this significant issue. Many university lecturers who responded to the questionnaire instrument in the present study supported contextualized (implicit) grammar instruction. Likewise, open-ended questionnaire responses provided by a number of university students, at the above college, revealed that several students favored contextualized grammar instruction while explicit/conscious grammar instruction was the choice of a few of them. Meanwhile, a few students favored a combination of implicit and explicit grammar instruction. In light of the above findings, the author recommends the adoption of contextualized grammar instruction with appropriate attention be given to explicit grammar instruction.
The PATH/LINK schema in Past-Simple vs. Present-Perfect English TA-expressions contrasted with Polish versions
Authors: Chłopek Dorota
Published: July 2020

The aim of this paper, which has an explanatory character, is to present the English perfective (past) TA-construction vs. the present-perfect TA-construction by means of image schemas of PATH and LINK, respectively, since the said constructions pose a contrast that is absent from the Polish language. Five examples of English text are juxtaposed with two Polish versions for comparison of how the two English constructions can be instantiated in Polish, the lexical means used in the Polish versions vary. Hence Polish learners of English are encouraged herein to look for hints which will sensitize them to the usage of the past-simple construction vs. the present-perfect construction, in association with the semantic schemas of PATH and LINK in relation to said grammar constructions.

The power of paradox: notes on categories of the tragic, mono no aware, and lacrimae rerum
Authors: Korusiewicz Maria
Published: July 2020

The paper is an attempt to investigate the intriguing convergence of the inner logic of three aesthetic categories that emerge from the experience of finitude of existence in diverse cultural environments: the awareness of the tragic in Western cultures, the Japanese category of mono no aware, expressing the painful beauty of things in their impermanence, and a famous Greco-Roman notion of lacrimae rerum (tears of things). All three – despite the deep disparities between the cultural traditions they represent – prove to be the ‘places’ of paradox, of powerful synchronic tension resulting from the ‘clash’ of contradictory forces, transforming one’s perception of the universum. It seems that it is the paradoxical nature of the experiences labelled by these categories (as confirmed by neuroscience) that allows us to confront our finitude with the aid of aesthetic tools.
Photographic image as a communicative resource in contemporary Russian drama
Authors: Maliutina Nataliia
Published: July 2020

The article analyses photographic discourse in contemporary Russian dramatic texts as a specific way of perceiving and constructing the reality, as a means of communication, and as a metalanguage. The conceptualization of photographic images in the dramatic text enabled the scrutiny of specific artistic ploys and photographic techniques applied. The article reveals the nature of correlation between the visual perception of a photograph incorporated in the dramatic text, the characters’ utterances and the author’s remarks. The photographic image fosters the rejection or the “appropriation” (recognition in oneself) of the Other by the characters. It also allows for the implementation of the communicative mechanisms used to create the hyperreality of the photo universum. The performative potential of the photographic discourse of the dramatic text materializes itself in such a hyperreality.
Literary reportage as a field of study (the case of Ryszard Kapuściński’s Shah of Shahs)
Authors: Nowacka Beata
Published: July 2020

Shah of Shahs by Ryszard Kapuściński is considered a controversial book – the opinions about it expressed by Iranian experts are definitely divergent. The author attempts to compare the selected facts from the history of Iran, which are described in the reportage, to the information gathered in other publications (including academic sources) on the topic. The analysis of the passages of the book, which were compared with relevant historical information, identified various types of factual inaccuracies – ranging from obvious factual errors to discrepancies implemented by the reporter deliberately. The greatest value of Kapuściński’s reportage is therefore not the objectivity of the message but its universality.
Prediction equations for digestible and metabolizable energy concentrations in feed ingredients and diets for pigs based on chemical composition
Authors: Sung Jung Yeol , Kim Beob Gyun
Published: July 2020

Objective: The objectives were to develop prediction equations for digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) of feed ingredients and diets for pigs based on chemical composition and to evaluate the accuracy of the equations using in vivo data.Methods: A total of 734 data points from 81 experiments were employed to develop prediction equations for DE and ME in feed ingredients and diets. The CORR procedure of SAS was used to determine correlation coefficients between chemical components and energy concentrations and the REG procedure was used to generate prediction equations. Developed equations were tested for the accuracy according to the regression analysis using in vivo data.Results: The DE and ME in feed ingredients and diets were most negatively correlated with acid detergent fiber or neutral detergent fiber (NDF; r = –0.46 to r = –0.67; p<0.05). Three prediction equations for feed ingredients reflected in vivo data well as follows: DE = 728+0.76×gross energy (GE)–25.18×NDF (R2 = 0.64); ME = 965+0.66×GE–24.62×NDF (R2 = 0.60); ME = 1,133+0.65×GE–29.05×ash–23.17×NDF (R2 = 0.67).Conclusion: In conclusion, the equations suggested in the current study would predict energy concentration in feed ingredients and diets.

Published: July 2020

Objective: Combination of two stressors on alteration of mineral footprints in animals needs due attention to meet maximum production and welfare, particularly in grazing sheep. This study tested whether ewes (Ovis aries) exposed to water deprivation and thermal–humidity stressors had altered mineral footprints in their wool, serum, urine, and feces.Methods: Nine ewes (age = 3 years; mean body weight = 41±3.5 kg) were divided among a control group with free access to water, and treatment groups with water deprivation lasting either 2 h (2hWD) or 3 h (3hWD) after feeding. Using a 3×3 Latin square design, animals were assigned to treatment groups for three sampling periods of 21 days each (n = 9). Blood was collected by jugular venipuncture. Wool was collected at the end of periods 2 and 3. Metabolic crates designed with metal grated floors were used for urine and feces collection. We measured sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), chloride (Cl), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and zinc (Zn).Results: The wool mineral levels did not differ between the treatment groups, although K was marginally lower (p = 0.10) in the 2hWD group. The serum and urine mineral levels did not differ between the treatments (p>0.05). Fecal K was significantly lower in the 2hWD group than in the other groups (p≤0.05).Conclusion: In conclusion, water deprivation and thermal-humidity exposure altered the excretion of K, but not of other minerals, in the wool, urine, feces, or serum of ewes. Thus, no additional mineral supplementation is needed for water deprived ewes during thermalhumidity exposure.

Authors: Masoudi Maryam , Ahmadian Hamzeh , Akbari Maryam , Jalilian Nasrin
Published: July 2020

Background: Postmenopausal women experience tremendous changes that are not only hormonal, but also social and emotional, which reduce their quality of life. Limited research has been focused on perceived stress and the influential factors in women during menstruation. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the correlation between perceived stress and insomnia severity in postmenopausal women. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 190 postmenopausal women referring to the healthcare centers in Kermanshah, Iran in 2019. Data were collected using the individual and sociodemographic questionnaire, perceived stress scale, and insomnia severity index. Data analysis was performed in SPSS using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation-coefficient to evaluate the correlation between perceived stress and insomnia severity. Results: The total mean score of perceived stress was 33.9 ± 13.8 (score range: 7 - 54), and the total mean score of insomnia was 15.1 ± 4.8 (score range: 6 - 28). The comparison of the total mean score of perceived stress showed a significant difference at various severities of insomnia (F [3, 186] = 12.31; P < 0.0001). According to the post-hoc results, the women with severe insomnia obtained the highest mean score of perceived stress compared to those with normal, mild, and moderate insomnia. Furthermore, the Pearson’s correlation-coefficient was indicative of a significant association between insomnia severity and the total score of perceived stress (r = 0.417; P < 0.0001). In other words, the women with higher scores of insomnia severity achieved higher scores of perceived stress comparatively. Conclusions: Insomnia and perceived stress are common and correlated in postmenopausal women. Therefore, the identification and treatment of postmenopausal women with stress and sleep disorders could remarkably improve their quality of life.
Towards an Agape-Based Organization
Authors: Sferrazzo Roberta ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2020

In the last decade, scholars have rediscovered the Italian tradition of Civil Economy and the different vision of the market it offers, one that is anchored on reciprocal assistance in market exchange relationships. So far, scholars are discussing Civil Economy especially in the fields of the history of economic though and in economics and philosophy. Nevertheless, this article proposes looking also at business ethics and organizational studies through the lens of Civil Economy, especially considering the notion of virtue provided by civil economists. In particular, it sets forth an organizational model that derives from Civil Economy, i.e. the agape-based organization.

Sorismo en el contexto del geunismo
Authors: Sánchez-Seco López Alejandro
Published: July 2020

En el contexto de una obra mucho más amplia y en ciernes, que propone como único sistema plenamente legítimo aquél cuyo cuerpo político viene constituido por la totalidad de habitantes del planeta, es conveniente traer a colación la filosofía política y económica de George Soros, porque aporta una visión muy diferente a la aplicada por los endiosados economistas que no supieron ver con antelación la Gran Recesión global en la que seguimos inmersos. La relación entre la realidad y el pensamiento es clave en el sorismo, como también lo es la distinción entre los diversos tipos de ciencias. La hipótesis de la eficiencia en los mercados también es cuestionada, junto con el concepto de equilibrio en economía, la incertidumbre y la falibilidad. También se acomete la crítica del fundamentalismo de mercado y a las propuestas regulatorias. Y todo en el contexto de una globalización económica poco política.Within the context of a much wider and developing piece proposing as only fully legitimate system the one the body politic of which is composed of the totality of inhabitants on the planet, it is convenient to bring to us the political and economic philosophy of George Soros for it adds a very different vision to that applied by the deified economists who could not in advance see the global Great Recession in which we keep on living. The relation between reality and thought is key within Sorism, as it is the distinction amongst the several kinds of sciences. The Efficient Markets Hypothesis is also put into question side by side with the concept of equilibrium in Economics, uncertainty, and fallibility. The critique of market fundamentalism is also implemented as well as the regulatory proposals. And all of it taking place within the context of a scarcely political but very economic globalisation.
Diferencias entre medidas de protección y medidas cautelares de los artículos 75 y 243 del reglamento penitenciario español
Authors: Colmenar Launes Ángel
Published: July 2020

El objeto de este trabajo es la diferenciación entre las medidas de protección adoptadas en el seno del procedimiento disciplinario de aquellas otras medidas que pueden adoptarse en otros supuestos. Las primeras se encuentran reguladas en el artículo 243 RP. Las segundas medidas, de acuerdo con el artículo 75 RP, solo podrán ser ordenadas por el Director de la prisión para impedir que los internos puedan alterar la seguridad y el buen orden de los establecimientos. Las medidas cautelares del artículo 243 RP y las limitaciones regimentales del artículo 75 RP poseen una naturaleza común en tanto que ambas figuras tienen una misma finalidad instrumental. La única diferencia entre ambas estaría en que las medidas cautelares del artículo 243 RP adoptan esa finalidad instrumental en el seno de un procedimiento sancionador, con todas aquellas garantías procedimentales que asisten al interno imputado. Sin embargo, estas mismas garantías no existen cuando se aplican las limitaciones regimentales del artículo 75 RP. Por todo ello es necesario modificar el régimen jurídico del art. 75 RP dotándolo de unas mínimas garantías acordes con los principios de seguridad jurídica y su obligado control por parte del Juez de Vigilancia Penitenciaria.The object of this essay is to differentiate the protection measures adopted in the disciplinary procedure of those others that also could be adopted in other suppositions. The first measures are regulated in the art. 243 RP. The second measures, according to the article 75 RP only the Director of the Prison may adopt these measures to contain the convicts who might alter the daily coexistence and the safety in the prisions. These measures are going to be viewed by the article 243 RP, from the restrictions of the article 75 RP. Both possess a common nature and an instrumental only aim. The only difference between both legal articles is, in the first case of article 243 RP, the measures are adopted inside the punishment procedure. In the case of article 75 RP is really a key to protect the inmates safety of the attacks or to be protected from themselves. Nevertheless, the same guarantees do not exist when the restrictions are applied according to art. 75 RP. Restrictions that, in the event of 75.1 RP, have the same instrumental nature that protect with the measures of the art.243 RP. It is necessary to modify the juridical procedure of the art. 75 RP providing it with a few minimal guarantees according to the rules of proportionality and of juridical safety, and to control all of these circunstances by the penitentiary surveillance magistrate.
La interpretación constitucional y las sentencias del Tribunal Constitucional : de la interpretación evolutiva a la mutación constitucional
Authors: Goig Martínez Juan Manuel
Published: July 2020

En la hermenéutica constitucional, además de los criterios tradicionales de interpretación, se requieren conocimientos técnicos muy elevados, y también un alto grado de sensibilidad jurídica, política y social para poder penetrar en el sentido de las disposiciones constitucionales. La interpretación constitucional debe de tener por objeto determinar la vivencia real de la norma fundamental, vivencia que explica la actualización de la misma al confrontar una cultura a la que los intérpretes nunca pueden ser ajenos por el mero hecho de que forman de esa sociedad, pero la actividad interpretativa está sujeta a la propia Constitución, y no puede, ni mutarla, ni destruirla.In constitutional hermeneutics, as well as the General principles of interpretation, very high technical expertise, and also a high degree of legal, political and social sensitivity are required to be able to penetrate into the meaning of constitutional provisions. Constitutional interpretation should be aimed at determining the real experience of the fundamental norm, experience which explains the same update to confront a culture to which performers can never be outside by the mere fact that they are creatures of that society, but the interpretive activity is subject to the Constitution, and cannot, mutate it or destroy it.

«La deducción de la intención del agresor a partir de datos sensibles es, sin duda alguna, una ardua operación intelectual y, para facilitarla, la jurisprudencia ha señalado una serie de circunstancias, extraídas racionalmente del sano criterio y de la experiencia criminológica, que pueden ayudar a los tribunales (...) pues nunca puede considerarse técnicamente probado un hecho de conciencia». STS (Sala Segunda) de 20 de julio de 1990«The deduction of the intention of the aggressor from sensitive data is undoubtedly an arduous intellectual operation and to facilitate it, the Court has identified a number of circumstances, rationally drawn from sound judgment and experience criminology, which can help courts (...) it can never be considered technically proven a fact of consciousness STS (Second Chamber) on july 20, 1990

Authors: Muñoz Llinás Jaime Ignacio
Published: July 2020

La carrera administrativa, concebida como el conjunto de mecanismos jurídicos que configuran las posibilidades de progresión o mejora económica y/o profesional de un funcionario público a lo largo de su vida administrativa, ha conocido formas muy diversas a lo largo de la historia, desde su primer reconocimiento a principios del siglo xix hasta su configuración actual. A través del presente estudio se llevará a cabo un análisis de cada una de las formas que ha ido adoptando la misma a lo largo del periodo comprendido entre 1812 y 1918, en un proceso marcado por numerosos condicionantes políticos y por un deseo generalizado de llevar a cabo una profesionalización de la función pública que distinga claramente su cometido de la esfera estrictamente política.The civil service, conceived as a set of legal mechanisms that shape the possibilities of progression or economic improvement and/or public officer’s professional along administrative life, has known many forms throughout history, from its first recognized in the early nineteenth century to its current configuration. Through this study we conducted an analysis of each of the forms that she has adopted the same over the period between 1812 and 1918, in a process marked by numerous political conditions and a general desire to carry out a professionalization of the public that clearly distinguishes their task in the strictly political sphere.
El humanismo contemporáneo como fuente y fundamento de los derechos fundamentales
Authors: Aular Viamonte Leonor Antonio , Núñez Rivero Cayetano
Published: July 2020

El Humanismo representa una corriente que está llamada a perdurar como basamento y orientación de las diversas formas del ser y el quehacer humano. Esa permanencia requiere una reflexión, una crítica y una renovación constante de sus principios e ideales de cara a su realidad histórica. Los cambios que se han suscitado y se siguen produciendo en el mundo de hoy, exigen un Humanismo que esté acorde con esa dinámica en la cual los Derechos Fundamentales constituyen una de sus expresiones más representativas y requeridas de un sólido basamento que reafirme la pertinencia e importancia que tienen estos derechos para que se pueda lograr una humanización permanente. En este artículo se plasma un conjunto de planteamientos e ideas dirigidos a argumentar las posibilidades de un Humanismo Contemporáneo como fuente y fundamento de los Derechos Fundamentales.The Humanism represents a current calling to survive as a basement and orientation of being and work human numbers of ways. That permanency demand a reflection, a critic and constant renewal about his principles and ideals face to his history reality. The changes that have occurred and still being produced in the world of our days, demand an Humanism that is in accord with that momentum on which Fundamentals Rights constitute most representative expressions and demanded theoretical base that reaffirms the relevance and importance that these rights have could achieve a permanent humanization. En this article is embodied a joint development and ideas for giving the advantages the possibilities of a Contemporary Humanism as source and foundations of Fundamental Rights.
El modelo social de la discapacidad : una cuestión de derechos humanos
Authors: Victoria Maldonado Jorge A.
Published: July 2020

El modelo social de la discapacidad se presenta como un nuevo paradigma del tratamiento actual de la discapacidad, que ha tenido un desarrollo teórico y también normativo. Es un modelo que considera que las causas que originan la discapacidad no son religiosas, ni científicas, sino que son, en gran medida, sociales. Desde esta nueva perspectiva, se pone énfasis en que las personas con discapacidad pueden contribuir a la sociedad en iguales circunstancias que el resto de las demás personas, pero siempre desde la valorización a la inclusión y el respeto a lo diverso. Este modelo se encuentra íntimamente relacionado con los valores esenciales que fundamentan los Derechos Humanos, como la dignidad humana, la libertad personal y la igualdad, que propician la disminución de barreras y que dan lugar a la inclusión social, que pone como base los principios como: autonomía personal, no discriminación, accesibilidad universal, normalización del entorno, dialogo civil, entro otros. Se parte de la premisa de que la discapacidad es una construcción social, no es la deficiencia que impide a las personas con discapacidad acceder o no a un determinado ámbito social, sino los obstáculos y barreras que crea la misma sociedad, que limitan e impiden que las personas con discapacidad se incluyan, decidan o diseñen con autonomía su propio plan de vida en igualdad de oportunidades.The social model of disability is presented as a new paradigm of the recent disability treatment, that has had theoretical and legal current development. It is a model that considers that the origins of disability are not either religious or scientific, but social in a great measure. From this new perspective, it is emphasized that the population with disability can contribute to the society in the same circumstances that the rest of the population, which integrates the society, all this from a valorization of the inclusion perspective and respect of diversity. This model is closely related with certain essential values which underline the Human Rights, such as human dignity, individual freedom and equality; all these conduce to a decrease of barriers and lead to a social inclusion that sets basis to principles as: personal autonomy, nondiscrimination, universal accessibility, environmental normalization, civil dialogue, inter alia. The premise is that disability is part of a social construction, and it is not the deficiency what prevents people with a disability to access or not to a particular social sphere, but the obstacles and barriers created by the society itself what limits and prevents people with disability to be included, to decide or to design autonomously their own life plan with opportunity equality.
