La protección de los derechos humanos de las personas migrantes ante el COVID-19
Authors: Corzo Sosa Edgar
Published: August 2024

La unión del tema de derechos humanos con el de COVID-19 es, además de pertinente, indiscutiblemente necesaria, toda vez que hemos venido presenciando durante los últimos años, desde la aparición de la pandemia, una de las mayores afrentas a la supervivencia de las personas como seres humanos. Ha quedado claro que hemos vivido una constante de desafíos en todos los sentidos: personales, familiares, institucionales, económicos, sociales y otros tantos más; en ese contexto, destaca la protección de derechos humanos, pues es una dimensión construida en relación directa con la persona. Todavía no conocemos los alcances del impacto que provocará esta pandemia, aunque ya hemos visto algunos de sus efectos. Hemos estado inmersos, más bien, en el control de su propagación y en la vacunación para buscar aminorarla y erradicarla. Ya vendrán los tiempos adecuados para enfocar nuestros esfuerzos en combatir las consecuencias de esta crisis. Con objeto de impulsar la defensa que debe construirse para hacer frente a la protección de los derechos de las personas en movimiento, a lo largo de este documento procuraremos mencionar estándares o criterios esenciales que se han venido construyendo por organismos protectores de derechos humanos, a escala regional y global, pues esta es una de las estrategias fundamentales para evitar la violación de sus derechos humanos o, en su caso, para recuperarlos. La protección de los derechos humanos de las personas en movimiento se da en todos los niveles —nacional, regional y mundial—, y deben subrayarse los esfuerzos especiales de cooperación y responsabilidad internacional compartida, pues la migración es un fenómeno que trasciende el ámbito soberano de un país desde el momento mismo en que las personas se trasladan a un país diferente. A continuación, exponemos los primeros efectos de la pandemia en cuanto a la movilidad humana, como lo fueron las diversas restricciones a la libertad de movimiento, entre las que sobresale el cierre de las fronteras, situación que condicionó en gran medida el disfrute de los derechos humanos de las personas migrantes. Partimos de la hipótesis de que la pandemia vino a fronterizar una vez más la cuestión migratoria.
Las transformaciones en el derecho humano a la educación producto de la pandemia por COVID-19
Authors: Contreras Bustamante Raúl Juan
Published: August 2024

La educación accesible para todas las personas y sin discriminación alguna se ha venido convirtiendo en un concepto esencial para el desarrollo de los seres humanos, así como de las sociedades de nuestro tiempo; sin embargo, la impartición de la educación se ha visto amenazada por diferentes circunstancias a lo largo de la historia; en el caso que nos ocupa, por el surgimiento de la pandemia de COVID-19. En materia convencional, la educación ha evolucionado al paso del tiempo, desde convertirse primero en un derecho social hasta pasar luego a ser considerada como un derecho humano fundamental. La intención final del artículo es hacer una contribución para advertir no solo la importancia de la educación como derecho de las personas, sino como obligación del Estado para garantizarla, pues queda demostrada su trascendencia en épocas de emergencia, como la que hoy en día vivimos. En este sentido, este capítulo se despliega en tres ejes. Primero, se plantea analizar la relevancia histórica de la educación, reconociendo —como lo he afirmado en otros trabajos— que la educación se ha convertido en un derecho humano fundamental, pleno y justiciable (Contreras Bustamante, 2020, p. 356). Lo anterior nos lleva al segundo eje del estudio, que corresponde al análisis de las transformaciones que ha sufrido el derecho humano a la educación a partir de los obstáculos e inconvenientes generados por la pandemia. En este caso me referiré de manera particular a la enseñanza jurídica, motivo por el cual exploraré el último eje de este capítulo los retos por enfrentarse en el escenario postpandémico. La presente investigación parte de la hipótesis de que la educación se originó como un instrumento para la dominación y conservación de las élites sociales, pero que, con el transcurso del tiempo y después de muchos siglos, se fue transformando hasta convertirse en un derecho humano. Hoy en día, los tratados internacionales en la materia reconocen que la educación es un derecho humano, afirmación que responde a un largo proceso histórico evolutivo de luchas y movimientos aún inacabado. Para efectos del presente estudio, la indagación espacial y temporal se enfocará en las civilizaciones occidentales, sin dejar de reconocer que en el lejano Oriente también existieron mecanismos y estructuras educativas, inclusive anteriores a los griegos y romanos. En el segundo apartado de esta investigación, utilizando un método analítico, se planteará el estado actual de la educación en el contexto de la pandemia. En este sentido, se analizarán las implicaciones tanto positivas como negativas que acarreó la crisis sanitaria. Para concluir con esta exploración teórica, se recurrirá al método analítico con el objetivo de identificar los retos de la educación jurídica en el escenario postpandémico, así como para ofrecer nuestras propuestas con relación a cómo se debería de concebir la educación jurídica en una época de grandes transformaciones sociales.
El sello del COVID-19 en los derechos humanos laborales
Authors: Kurczyn Villalobos María Patricia
Published: August 2024

Mencionar de nuevo la trágica pandemia que marca la historia a partir de 2020 no requiere explicaciones; tampoco comentar el dudoso origen del padecimiento, pero lo que es inevitable es el seguimiento de los efectos conocidos hasta ahora y, en la medida de lo posible, el análisis, conocimiento o pronóstico de las consecuencias aún ignoradas en la vida de las personas en general y en el comportamiento social. Este futuro escenario es impredecible en tanto la ciencia no logre descifrar los orígenes de este terrible virus y, más importante, no encuentre cómo controlarlo, prevenirlo y curarlo. El padecimiento producido por el coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) ha impactado tanto la salud de las personas como las formas de vida social en todas las áreas, incluso en la convivencia familiar. La educación y el trabajo a distancia han repercutido en los comportamientos psicológicos, como se advierte con el tema de violencia doméstica, y probablemente se deteriorará la cohesión social (ya un tanto decaída). Conforme pase el tiempo, es probable que se adviertan otros estragos en la vida diaria, en la interacción familiar, laboral y social. En el ámbito laboral, especialmente en referencia al sector formal con empleados bajo subordinación,1 si bien en las modalidades que se generaron se hallan algunos puntos de conveniencia, también se presentaron los negativos; entre ellos, uno puede afectar la solidaridad en el trabajo y llegar a un mayor debilitamiento sindical que el ya existente, principalmente en la formación de nuevos cuadros sindicales, justo cuando hay renovación en muchas grandes empresas, en particular en México, con motivo de las reformas constitucionales y legales que señalan cambios en la formación de organizaciones sindicales y en las negociaciones de los contratos colectivos. En México, el derecho humano a la alimentación se vio afectado y, desde luego, el derecho humano al trabajo, tanto el subordinado como el autónomo.

Bank efficiency in the African banking sector: Does board independence matter?
Authors: Benjakik Sofia , Habba Badr
Published: August 2024

This study examines the relationship between board independence and bank efficiency. Using a sample of 78 commercial banks operating in the African region from 2016 to 2019, the findings reveal that board independence significantly enhances technical efficiency, as measured by data envelopment analysis (DEA). Additionally, chief executive officer (CEO) duality, gender diversity on boards, and the presence of committees positively influence bank efficiency. The results also highlight the role of bank capitalization in improving overall bank efficiency. These findings suggest that adopting good governance mechanisms, such as increasing the number of independent administrators, female board members, and board committees, plays a crucial role in boosting bank efficiency.
Investigating sustainable employee well-being: A decade of research on burnout studies
Authors: Ensour Waed , Al Maaitah Hadeel
Published: August 2024

Job burnout is a state of physical and mental exhaustion that occurs as a result of long-term negative feelings that are developed at work and affect individuals of various professions (Penttinen et al., 2021; Dike et al., 2021). Given the growing interest in job burnout and the extensive body of literature dedicated to identifying its contributing factors, this research aims to systematically review empirical burnout research to identify and organize the myriad causes of burnout. The objective is to facilitate a more streamlined approach to its study and to enhance the ability to manage, control, and mitigate burnout symptoms, ultimately promoting and sustaining employees’ mental health. Therefore, a systematic literature review of burnout articles published on the Web of Science (WoS) and American Psychological Association (APA) PsycNET databases over the last decade (2012–2022) was conducted. Thematic analysis was employed to identify, classify, and categorize the factors contributing to burnout. The research findings indicate that while the conventional perspective portrays burnout as a work-specific syndrome and workplace factors are often considered the primary indicators of burnout, the research findings suggest that burnout is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by various factors at the personal, job-related, organizational, and social life levels. The relationship between these factors and burnout can overlap, with some factors acting as protective mechanisms and others as risk factors. Understanding these factors can help in developing strategies and intervention mechanisms to prevent or mitigate burnout in the workplace, ultimately promoting and sustaining employees’ mental health.
Does environmental, social, and governance strategy lead to better firm performance: Analysis of NIFTY 500 companies
Authors: Oza Priyanka , Patekar Ameya
Published: August 2024

This research examines the correlation between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) score and a firm’s market performance, financial performance, operational performance, and profitability, as well as the influence of control variables such as firm size, leverage, growth, and liquidity. The study focuses on companies listed in the NIFTY 500 index during the years 2021 and 2022, categorized into services and manufacturing groups. Multiple linear regression was employed to analyze the study’s hypotheses. The findings revealed that the ESG score significantly and positively impacts the financial parameters — return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), and earnings per share (EPS) of the services group. However, for the manufacturing group, the ESG score and individual E, S, and G scores did not significantly impact financial performance in most cases, and in some cases, had a negative impact. There is a need for further exploration into how the ESG score and individual parameter scores influence financial performance, which could aid companies in evaluating and improving their ESG initiatives.

Authors: Firdaus Mulyadi , Suseno Bambang Dwi , Sari Gema Ika , Fauzi Muhammad
Published: August 2024

This study examined the influence of religiosity and knowledge of zakat on zakat awareness. It also investigates the influence of religiosity, knowledge of zakat, and zakat awareness on zakat compliance. This study involved 338 NPWZ owners who were registered as muzakki at the LPZ and lived in Serang, Banten province Indonesia. Proportional random sampling was used for respondent selection. This study used a variant-based structural equation test using PLS-SEM. The results indicate that religiosity positively influences zakat awareness and that knowledge of zakat also has a positive influence on zakat awareness. Furthermore, religiosity positively influenced zakat compliance, and knowledge of zakat enhanced zakat compliance. Higher levels of zakat awareness were correlated with increased zakat compliance. It's important to understand how much eligible Muslims actually follow through with giving zakat. This knowledge is key for gathering funds to help fight poverty and support community growth.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship of destination image on tourist delight with moderating effect of the travel attributes included, affordability and accessibility on the above relationship. This study is related with the mountain tourism and targets different tourist destinations of Khyber Pakhtunkhuwa Pakistan. Data is collected through questionnaires and stratified convenient sampling technique is use to select the sample. This sample is a comprised respondent from three main regions/strata which consists of the Malakand division, the Mansehra division, and the Galiyat region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the causal relationship between variables of the study on Smart PLS 4 because Smart PLS is a robust application for analyzing the complex model with several constructs and structural paths without enforcing distributional assumptions on the data. This study evaluates the strong relationship between destination image and tourist delight and founds insignificant effect of moderating variable. Although, this research focuses on mountain tourism in Pakistan. The future studies can be conduct on other types of tourism such as sports tourism, cultural tourism, shopping tourism and religious tourism etc. Moreover, variables used in this study may also be investigated in future research endeavors. This study will provide a broad picture of the tourist delight concept and literature will demonstrate more information on tourist delight. Oliver’s theory of tourist delight and Gartner’s destination image theory is adopted for theoretical support.

Published: August 2024

Background and purpose: Younger recipients of total hip arthroplasty (THA) highly prioritize returning to preoperative levels of physical activity (PA). Surgeons have tended to give cautious advice concerning high-impact sports participation, but there have been few long-term studies. The purpose of our study was to investigate the risk of revision arthroplasty in relation to postoperative PA levels.Methods: Patients registered in the Geneva Arthroplasty Register (GAR) who had elective THA when they were aged < 65 years were studied. Postoperative PA was collected prospectively 5-yearly using the UCLA activity scale. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate associations between PA and risk of revision THA.Results: Amongst 1,370 eligible subjects, median age at THA 58 years (interquartile range 51–61), UCLA scores were available for 973 (71%). During follow-up over 15 years, there were 79 revisions, giving a cumulative risk of 7.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 5.8–9.4). After adjusting for covariates, we found an increased risk of revision for each unit increase in postoperative PA (HR 1.2, CI 1.1–1.4), and among people performing the most intensive PA (HR 2.7, CI 1.3–5.6) compared with those who were inactive.Conclusion: The overall risk of revision was small but intensive and moderate PA may be associated with an increased risk of revision.
Less inflammatory response in the direct anterior than in the direct lateral approach in patients with femoral neck fractures receiving a total hip arthroplasty: exploratory results from a randomized controlled trial

Published: August 2024

Background and purpose: It is still debatable which is the least invasive approach to the hip joint in arthroplasty for a femoral neck fracture (FNF). We compared the traditional direct lateral approach (DLA) with the direct anterior approach (DAA) regarding creatine kinase (CK), C-reactive protein (CRP), and hemoglobin (Hb).Methods: In a randomized controlled trial, 130 elderly patients with dislocated FNFs treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) were included. CK, CRP, and Hb were measured preoperatively and on postoperative days 1 to 4 and were compared between the DAA and DLA groups using repeated measures mixed-effect models.Results: The CK level was significantly higher on the 1st postoperative day in the DLA group, 597 U/L (95% confidence interval [CI] 529–666) vs 461 U/L (CI 389–532), estimated mean difference (MD) 136 U/L (CI 38–235). The CRP levels were significantly higher on postoperative days 3 and 4 in the DLA group, 207 mg/L (CI 189–226) vs 161 mg/L (CI 143–180), estimated MD 46 mg/L (CI 19–72) and 162 mg/L (CI 144–181) vs 121 (CI 102–140), estimated MD 41 mg/L (CI 15–68). Blood loss, expressed as difference in Hb, did not differ between the groups.Conclusion: In an elderly population with FNFs, we found that the DAA, compared with the DLA, results in less CK and CRP increase, but no change in Hb.
Tracheal Stenosis Detected During Endotracheal Intubation in a Patient With Down Syndrome
Authors: Ujita Tomoaki , Yamamoto Toru , Tanaka Yutaka , Kurata Shigenobu , Seo Kenji
Published: August 2024

We report a case in which tracheal stenosis was discovered during endotracheal intubation. A 19-year-old woman with Down syndrome was scheduled to undergo treatment of multiple dental caries under intubated general anesthesia. During the first general anesthetic, we felt some resistance while advancing the endotracheal tube through the trachea. Prior to a second general anesthetic 2 years later, we performed 3-dimensional computed tomography to evaluate the tracheal stenosis and devised a strategy that established an airway without advancing the endotracheal tube over the stenotic lesion. Careful attention is required when performing endotracheal intubation because patients with Down syndrome sometimes have tracheal stenosis.
Review of Inherited Coagulation Disorders
Authors: Hoang Tiffany , Dowdy Regina A. E.
Published: August 2024

Most invasive dental procedures elicit some degree of bleeding which ultimately leads to clotting and eventual hemostasis. However, patients with inherited coagulation disorders may exhibit prolonged or, in some cases, excessive bleeding requiring multiple perioperative interventions. Von Willebrand disease is the most common inherited coagulopathy and often manifests via easy bruising, epistaxis, or prolonged bleeding. Hemophilia A (factor VII) and B (factor IX) are factor deficiencies that are clinically indistinguishable and managed according to severity and the required dental treatment. Other coagulopathies are rare (ie, inheritance is autosomal recessive) and may only become evident in homozygotes or compound heterozygotes. Current lab values and medical consultation with the patient’s hematologist are imperative prior to rendering invasive dental treatment. There are a myriad of sedation and general anesthesia considerations, including risks for epistaxis with nasal instrumentation and bruising with improper patient positioning. Preoperative treatment with desmopressin or factor replacement may be required and generally should facilitate normal hemostasis. Additional therapies should be considered to help ensure adequate postoperative hemostasis, including pressure dressings, resorbable clotting materials, laser therapy, and oral rinses.
Differences in EFL Student’s Simile and Metaphor Comprehension: Influence of Gender and Age
Authors: Wardana I Ketut
Published: August 2024

English simile and metaphor comprehension by EFL students in Indonesia as an imaginative function plays a crucial role in holistic language learning. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the level of English simile and metaphor comprehension among university students and analyze whether the figure of speech differs according to gender, age, length of study, and different academic backgrounds. The participants were 124 university students in aged 19 to 22 years. Data were collected using 16 English simile and metaphor success test items. The answers were evaluated by two experts. Descriptive statistics and a sequence of Mann-Whitney U tests were applied. This study revealed that students' conception of English similes and metaphors is low on a broad scale. Participants answered 29.11% of the simile questions correctly, while 60.89% of the participants answered the questions incorrectly. Meanwhile, out of eight questions on English metaphors, 38.31% of the students could answer the questions correctly, but 61.69% of the students could not answer the questions. In addition, it was found that the simile and metaphor comprehension of the participants did not differ according to gender but differed based on age, length of study, and academic background. This study advocates that EFL learners should develop their competence in figurative from a cognitive linguistics perspective.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la percepción socioambiental que tienen los productores de maíz sobre el paso del huracán Otis en el estado de Guerrero, México, así como los problemas ambientales, sociales, económicos y políticos que se presentan. Esta investigación utilizó métodos mixtos. Se realizó una encuesta y entrevistas a 30 agricultores productores de maíz. Las variables para ambos instrumentos fueron los factores sociales, ambientales, económicos y culturales de las personas. La encuesta constaba de 9 preguntas, 6 de opción múltiple y tres abiertas. En el caso de la entrevista, sólo hubo tres preguntas abiertas en las que los agricultores expresaron sus sentimientos sobre el impacto de Otis en la producción, su economía y su forma de vida. En el estado se han presentado huracanes de baja intensidad desde 1921, que fueron los primeros eventos que ocurrieron. En 1988 ocurrió el huracán Gilberto, que tuvo una precipitación de 320 mm durante 24 horas. A pesar de esta intensidad de lluvias, la infraestructura de baja intensidad permitió una filtración al subsuelo y alivio de los canales al mar, en el caso del huracán Paulina en 1997 la temporada de lluvias fue de dos horas y causó desastre en todos los ámbitos sociales, en el año 2013 con Íngrid y Manuel, Max 2017 hasta llegar al huracán Otis 2023. El huracán Otis provocó problemas ambientales (caída de árboles de todo tipo, generación de residuos orgánicos), económicos (pérdidas en producción agrícola, materiales, altos precios de productos de la canasta básica), sociales (problemas de salud por acumulación de basura y psicológicos) y políticos (falta de apoyo con programas para incentivar la economía de los productores de maíz).
Self-Determination v Remedial Secession: The Status of Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) under International Law
Authors: Wulan Christianti Diajeng
Published: August 2024

Nagorno-Karabakh is a region situated between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which has been the subject of a territorial dispute between the two neighbouring countries. The region declared independence as Republic of Artsakh and separated from Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan accused Armenia of unlawfully intervening in the formation of Artsakh, while Artsakh claimed its independence was legal under the Soviet's Law of Secession, asserting its right to self-determination. Artsakh also pointed to human rights abuses and systematic discrimination by Azerbaijan as reasons for its secession. This paper examines the legitimacy of Artsakh's secession and considers the role of alleged human rights violations by Azerbaijan for its legitimacy. International law demonstrated that practices of secession were somewhat accepted provided that a lawful ground has been adequately fulfilled as a mandatory part of divorcing a territory from its mainland. However, Artsakh’s secession from Azerbaijan is not provided by a solid, reasonable measure as a “remedial” for all the casualties that had taken place. Also, on historic ground, Artsakh failed to provide sufficient records and proof to attest to its legitimacy as a separate entity utterly detached from Azerbaijan.

Learning media is very important to develop in the world of education. However, there are still many teachers who have not developed media innovatively and in accordance with learning materials. The use of 3D media needs to be increased because students can actually practice mathematics learning spatial material. This community service is aimed at improving teachers' skills in creating learning methods so that they can provide more interactive learning for students. The service method is carried out using PAR (Participatory Action Research) or carried out in a participatory manner with residents at SDN 01 Sei Tatas Hilir school in the use of 3D space-building media. The results of this service activity were (1) getting a positive response from the school, (2) the teacher felt helped by the presence of 3D learning media in the building, (3) students participated in the learning enthusiastically and actively responded when the teacher provided the material.

Медицинской является равно клиническая, трудовая и хозяйственная (организационная) деятельность. Во всех этих значениях медицинская деятельность имеет профессиональный характер и, в соответствии с ним, подчинена различающимся правилам ее определения, измерения и оценки. Объективная многомерность медицинской деятельности требует корректности требований к ней со стороны государства, т.е. в сфере публичного администрирования, в том числе при определении правовых и административных правил, по которым она должна осуществляться.
Exploring the resilience of Pasifika peoples to a global disruption by developing meaningful relationships with local research partners in the Kingdom of Tonga and the Cook Islands: the heart of my doctoral research journey.
Authors: De Waegh Roxane
Published: August 2024

The prevailing view in international development discourse is that Pacific Islands Countries (PICs) are highly vulnerable to exogenous disruptions, including socio-economic shocks and extreme weather events linked to the adverse impacts of climate change (Birkmann et al., 2022; Lee and Zhang, 2023). This disempowering framing of PICs is largely shaped by western perceptions of vulnerability, success, and wellbeing, which often do not translate to local cultural constructs (Movono et al., 2023). Furthermore, the discourse on vulnerability re-enforces the dominant narrative of PICs as externally dependent and passive in the face of global disruptions, stripping Pasifika peoples of their agency and self-determination efforts to engage in the global economy on their own terms. It also negatively impacts their ability to adapt to exogenous disruptions according to approaches they themselves have developed. This study aimed to challenge the reductionist framings of PICs by exploring the adaptive responses of Pasifika peoples in the Kingdom of Tonga and the Cook Islands, through their perceived ability to support the wellbeing of their communities and natural environments during the global disruption of COVID-19.
Creating nonfiction film in our mother tongue: Samoan, Tongan, Punjabi
Authors: Filisi Fritz , Tonga Sylvester , Mukhtar Asim
Published: August 2024

We are three postgraduates of Te Ara Poutama Faculty at Auckland University of Technology. We have written a collective piece as a distinct group who emigrated from villages, districts, and countries outside of Aotearoa. We are nonfiction filmmakers creating film in our mother tongue; Fritz in Samoan, Sylvester in Tongan, and Asim in Punjabi. Through our shared experiences we have become trusted friends and collegial support for one another. Consciously, we chose to take up practice-led research in a faculty of Māori students and staff for cultural and strategic reasons. That very same rationale has prompted us to co-author our paper as contributors to a small but growing number of Aotearoa language films made by practitioners who although are not Indigenous to the lands we are living on, are, however, descended from the original inhabitants in our countries of origin.
To impress upon readers the importance of why we create Samoan, Tongan, and Punjabi nonfiction film for, and with, our language communities, we have used this publication to make a point of authoring our individual stories in Samoan, Tongan, and Punjabi, with an accompanying English translation. The true sense behind the ideas we are conveying with words and images is therefore contained in the Samoan, Tongan, and Punjabi texts. By contrast, the English translation is our humble interpretation that we feel falls short of communicating the complexly woven fabric of meaning found in the original language. For this reason, the English translation is secondary to the mother tongue.
