Objective: Determining the origins of deaths due to gunshot wounds is an important problem in terms of forensic medicine. In this study, it was aimed to retrospectively examine the deaths due to gunshot wounds that were autopsied between 2013 and 2020.
Method: Age, gender, place of death, type of weapon used, origin, entry area, number of entries, shooting distance, toxicological examination results were recorded and statistical analyzes were made.
Results: 85.5% (n:218) of the cases were male, 14.5% (n:37) were female, and the rate of suicide and accidental injuries was higher in men than in women, and the rate of being a victim of homicide in women was higher than men (P <0.001). While the death rate due to accidental injury was higher in the group aged 24 years and younger than the other age groups, the death rate due to injury caused by suicide in the group aged 65 and over was higher than the other age groups (P<0.01).Suicide-origin firearm injuries are higher in homes and attachments, homicide-origin firearms injuries are higher in closed spaces outside the home than in other crime scenes (P<0.001).Rifle was used mostly in accidental and suicide origin firearm deaths, and pistol was used mostly in murder-origin firearm deaths (P<0.001). 
Conclusion: It is thought that the demographic characteristics of the cases and autopsy findings will guide the members of the judiciary and forensic medicine specialists in determining the origins of the cases.

Psikolojik dayanıklılık insanın stres ve zorluklarla başa çıkma kapasitesidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı küçük çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeylerinin çocukların oyun davranışları üzerindeki yordayıcı etkisini belirlemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışma 51-71 aylık (M=68.10; SS=4.63) 677 (K: 306; E:371) çocuk ile yürütülmüştür. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modelinde gerçekleştirilen araştırma, kolay ulaşılabilir örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak ulaşılan 677 çocukla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ego Sağlamlığı Ölçeği ve Okul Öncesi Oyun Davranışları Ölçeği kullanılarak elde edilen veriler, çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeylerinin çocukların oyun davranışları üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek amacıyla basit doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırm anın sonucunda çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeylerinin sosyal oyun, yalnız pasif oyun, itiş-kakış oyunu ve sessiz oyun davranışlarını istatistiki olarak anlamlı düzeyde yordadığı görülmüştür. Psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeyi ile çocukların yalnız aktif oyunları arasında ise olumlu bir ilişki olduğu ancak bu ilişkinin istatistiki olarak anlamlı olmadığı bulunmuştur. Bu bulgular doğrultusunda küçük çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılıkları oyun davranışlarını olumlu yönde etkileyebilmektedir.
İbadet Yapılarının Dönüşümü Bağlamında Batı Anadolu’dan Bir Örnek: Çeşme Dalyan Mahallesi Camii
Authors: ÇAKMAK Ozan
Published: March 2023

Dini yapıların farklı dinlerin ibadet gereksinimlerine uygun formlarda yeniden düzenlenmesi, yüzyıllar boyunca süregelen yaygın bir pratik olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Anadolu’da pagan halklarının ibadetlerine özgü inşa edilmiş olan tapınaklar, Geç Antik Çağ’da Hristiyanlığın egemen din haline gelmesiyle birlikte kilise olarak kullanılmış, benzer şekilde ilk Türk fetihleriyle beraber kiliseler de camiye dönüştürülmüştür. Anadolu’da söz konusu dönüşüm geleneğinin yakın döneme ait bir uzantısı da, 1923 yılında imzalanan Lozan Antlaşması’nın ardından gerçekleşen zorunlu mübadele sonrasında yaşanmıştır. İzmir İli Çeşme İlçesi Dalyan Mahallesi’nde yer alan ve günümüzde `Dalyan Mahallesi Camii’ olarak adlandırılan yapı, mimari açıdan 19. yüzyıl özellikleri gösteren ve eski adı `Zoodohos Pigis’ olan bir kiliseden dönüştürülmüştür. Bu çalışmada, yapının tanıtımı yapılarak mevcut mimari özellikleri üzerinden dönüşüm esnasında gerçekleşen mimari müdahaleler incelenmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca gayrimüslimlerin imar faaliyetlerinin yoğunlaştığı 19. yüzyılda, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun dini yapıların inşasına yönelik tutumu ve mübadele süreci sonrasında bu yapıların tekrar işlevlendirilmesi gibi hususlar incelenmiş, yeniden kullanımın sebepleri değerlendirilmiştir.

Authors: BAHTİYAR Ercan
Published: March 2023

Bireylerin ya da şirketlerin ekonomik faaliyetlerinden elde ettiği gelirin eksiksiz bir şekilde vergilendirilebilmesi için birçok önlem geliştirilmiştir. Buradaki temel amaç vergi kayıp ve kaçaklarını ortadan kaldırmak ve sürdürülebilir bir vergi kontrol mekanizması sağlamaktır. Yalnızca bazı ülkelerin geliştirmiş olduğu sıkı bir vergi sistemi, sermayenin küresel boyutta hareket etmeye başlaması ile birlikte tek başına yetersiz bir sistem haline gelmiştir. Bu yüzden diğer ülkeler ile işbirliğinin yanında kurumsal ve geniş kapsamlı önlemlerin geliştirilmesi gerekliliği, vergi kaybına uğrayan her ülkenin önem verdiği bir durum haline gelmiştir. Bu amaca yönelik olarak OECD ve AB gibi organizasyonların geliştirmiş olduğu otomatik bilgi değişimi mekanizmasının, işbirliği yapan ülke sayısı arttıkça başarısının arttığı görülmektedir. Bilgi değişimi ile ilgili hazırlanan kurumsal raporlarda bu organizasyonlarla vergisel anlamda iş birliği yapmayan ülkelerin listesi de düzenlenmekte, bu duruma karşı alınacak önlemler ifade edilmektedir. Çalışmada güncel raporlar ve resmi olarak vergi cenneti şeklinde ifade edilmese de ilgili listelerde bulunan veya listelerden çıkarılan, ancak halen vergi cenneti özellikleri taşıyan ülkeler üzerine genel bir inceleme yapılmıştır.

O Supremo Tribunal Federal como garantidor do estado de direito ambiental no governo do presidente Jair Bolsonaro
Authors: Staffen Marcio Ricardo
Published: March 2023

O presente artigo objetiva analisar a atuação do Supremo Tribunal Federal (Brasil) nos julgamentos de matérias ambientais originárias de obrigações internacionais assumidas pelo Brasil e a postura do governo de Jair Messias Bolsonaro que oscila entre o populismo e o negacionismo. Em que pese o populismo, como estratégia retórica dos chefes do Executivo federal não seja uma novidade recente no Brasil, o último Presidente da República, seguindo modus operandi de outros homólogos intensificou o uso do populismo em ataque a ordem legal transnacional e suas instituições. Em suas funções, o Legislativo federal brasileiro conteve-se em papel de mero coadjuvante, sem clara defesa dos vínculos jurídicos internacionalmente cogentes ao Brasil ou postura de interpelação ao Executivo para manutenção e incremento do direito nacional perante o direito advindo de fora do seu território. Assim, o Supremo Tribunal Federal assenhorou-se da condição de garantidor de pretensões jurídicas transnacionais e do direito internacional como freio deste populismo negacionista contra o Direito Internacional, contemplando a prevalência da tutela dos Direitos Humanos, da Democracia, do Meio Ambiente e do Estado de Direito. Utilizou-se, para o desenvolvimento da presente pesquisa, o método indutivo, operacionalizado pelas técnicas de conceito operacional, da pesquisa bibliográfica e de análise jurisprudencial.
Dobro prywatne a dobro wspólne w dawnej Rzeczypospolitej (XVI-XVII wiek)
Authors: Augustyniak Urszula
Published: March 2023

Niniejszy tekst jest próbą spojrzenia na Rzeczpospolitą z punktu widzenia jednostki i zastanowienia się, czy istotnie celem życia szlachcica-obywatela była aktywność publiczna? Czy uzasadnione jest identyfikowanie dbałości o własny dobrostan z prywatą? Czy za służbę na rzecz państwa oczekiwano nagrody? Czy rezygnacja z prywatnego dobrostanu w imię wspólnego dobra była świadoma i dobrowolna, a w jakim stopniu wymuszana przez restrykcje ze strony władzy lub groźbę ostracyzmu społecznego? Poszukując odpowiedzi na to pytania, wykorzystano zarówno typowe dla badań dyskursu politycznego źródła publicystyczne i traktaty teoretyczne, jak i teksty pisane w języku potocznym – testamenty oraz lauda sejmikowe, prezentujące poglądy jednostek i lokalnych społeczności szlacheckich. Ustalenia uzyskane tradycyjną metodą szukania egzemplifikacji starano się zweryfikować w oparciu o wyniki badań komputerowych języka politycznego.

Let P(z) be a complex polynomial of degree n having all its zeros in |z| ≤ 1. Then the Sendov’s Conjecture states that there is always a critical point of P(z) in |z − a| ≤ 1, where a is any zero of P(z). In this paper, we verify the Sendov’s Conjecture for some special cases. The case where a is the root of pth smallest modulus is also investigated.

Study on Quality of Air and Economic Development in India: An Argument for Sustainable India
Authors: K Jain Prerana
Published: March 2023

In the last few decades, air pollution hand come as a major global conscience regarding the current impact of both air pollution and climate change on human health. Extreme climate events (heavy rainfall, high temperatures, floods, and droughts) in rapidly growing urban areas endanger human health and economic development. In this study, we find whether there is a relationship between the Quality of air and economic development which take time series data from 1990 to 2019 is used to find the link or effect between air pollution and economic development in India which is examined by Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) methodology. NO2 (Nitrous oxide) emissions and CO2(carbon dioxide) emissions were employed for Quality of air (Air pollution) and the Gross Domestic Product served for economic Development (GDP). Empirical evidence indicates that emissions of CO2 and NO2 have an insignificant and inverse impact on the Gross domestic product, respectively, GFCF (Gross fixed capital formation) i.e., Domestic Investment has a significantly beneficial effect on economic development (GDP). Based on the results it is advised the adoption and proper execution of additional regulations like the tax on the usage of carbon dioxide for some specific industries releasing substantial levels of greenhouse emissions. Additionally, funds raised from this type of tax ought to be used to fund initiatives that would increase the employment opportunities and economic development of the country.
Well-being and Subjective Happiness of B-school Faculty during Covid-19 - A Special Reference to Indian B-Schools
Authors: Aranha Rekha , Saldanha Avil , Arunkumar Arti
Published: March 2023

The traditional education industry has undergone rapid changes to keep learning alive and unaffected during the pandemic. There was a lot of uncertainty and fear among the teachers as they had to change the pedagogy to suit the current requirements. Many studies in the past revealed that the performance of teachers is dependent on their well-being. This is an empirical study wherein primary details were collected from B-school faculty working in various B-schools in India. To analyze the effect of well-being on subjective happiness two instruments were used. Employee well-being was measured using a scale consisting of 33 items and four core dimensions such as psychological, social, workplace, and subjective well-being items. A self-evaluation scale on The Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) was used to measure the subjective happiness of B-school faculty. The questionnaire was administered to B-school faculty. The analysis revealed that psychological, social, and subjective well-being had an effect on the happiness of B-school faculty, but workplace well-being did not have any effect on subjective happiness as most of the B-school faculty were trying to sustain the pandemic and get adjusted to the rapid changes. They did not have many expectations from their employer as they were amidst fear and uncertainty.

Authors: Anand Ellur , Pandya Ganes
Published: March 2023

The main objective of this research paper is to apply logistic regression to estimate IPO subscription status in terms of oversubscription or under subscription. For this purpose, we used SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique) to generate minority class cases to rectify class imbalance problems and classification model logistic regression function to further classify the cases into majority class and minority class. KNIME (Konstanz Information Miner) and R Studio were used, as Integrated Development Environments (IDE), to develop the model. The results were quite encouraging with more than 90% accuracy levels for both training and testing datasets. The model was tested with different train-to-test ratios. The model and the results of the study can be used by firms and individuals involved in capital markets to predict the subscription status of a public offering. Further, there is ample scope to improvise the model by using different sets of variables and by applying different machine learning algorithms.
A Study on the Impact of Perceived Benefits on Customer Preference for Electric Vehicles
Authors: Nirmala J Catherine , Dsouza Joyan
Published: March 2023

Indian roads are currently dominated by petrol and diesel cars and bikes with only one percent of the vehicles in India being Electric Vehicles (EVs). India is not self-sufficient and it imports crude oil from other countries, which is a huge burden on the country's balance of payments. India is making efforts to adapt to the EV trend and various automobile manufacturers are taking advantage of the situation by producing and marketing EV vehicles. However, the Indian customer’s mindset is not favourable for the promotion of EV’s. Hence, an attempt has been made to identify the various aspects that influence or prevent consumers from switching from carbon-fuelled vehicles to electric vehicles. The primary data collected through a well-structured questionnaire has been analysed using Percentage Analysis and Chi- Square analysis. The study found that awareness level is not a significant factor, although awareness was considered a major factor in consumers’ preference for buying electric vehicles in earlier literature. Statistically significant results indicate that changes in ‘fuel price’, ‘environmental consciousness’ and ‘same price as petrol/diesel’ significantly influence consumers’ buying preferences for an electric vehicle.

MISSING THE MARK: THE IMPORTANCE OF FINANCIAL ANXIETY IN FINANCIAL SKILLS TRAINING FOR FOSTER YOUTH
Authors: Keller Amanda
Published: March 2023

It is well established that many former Canadian foster youth struggle with financial issues after aging out of care. Much of the financially focused intervention literature speaks to financial literacy training within independent living programming (ILP) or financial empowerment within individual development accounts (IDAs). These important programs offer educational modules to address financial skills or increase youth access to savings. Yet they are not sufficient, as neither addresses the emotional side of personal financial decision-making. Growing up in poverty can create emotional challenges related to money, such as financial anxiety. Financial anxiety affects quality of life in complex ways. Using three clinical composite profiles of youth aging out of the youth protection system in Quebec, this paper highlights some of the complex challenges faced by foster care alumni in dealing with economic insecurities. It is our proposition that we must be more mindful of current and former foster youth’s financial well-being and adapt financial literacy training accordingly. Further, these programs must be assessed for short- and long-term efficacy. Neglecting to measure and address financial anxiety for foster youth and alumni of care risks setting them up for preventable hardships and failures. This paper thus proposes that Canadian child welfare organizations and research teams must further develop this area of inquiry and intervention.

Published: March 2023

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic hormone-dependent inflammatory disease determined by the presence of foci of the endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Genetic factors occupy a leading position in the etiopathogenesis of this disease. With endometriosis, there is a pronounced hormonal imbalance in the sex hormones both in the lesion and in the body of the sick woman as a whole. The aim of the study:To study the associations of polymorphism of sex hormone genes with the hormonal profile of patients with endometriosis. Materials and methods: The study group included 103 patients with endometriosis, in whom the levels of sex hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone) were studied. The genotyping of 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of GWAS-significant sex hormone genes was carried out (rs148982377 ZNF789, rs34670419 ZKSCAN5, rs11031002 and rs11031005 FSHB, rs112295236 SLC22A10, rs117585797 ANO2, rs117145500 CHD9, rs727428 SHBG, rs1641549 TP53). The associations of SNPs with the level of sex hormones in patients with endometriosis were investigated by linear regression. Results: In patients with endometriosis, the serum estradiol level is associated with polymorphic loci rs148982377 ZNF789 (β=-0.488 - -0.445, pperm≤0.050) and rs34670419 ZKSCAN5 (β=-0.544 - -0.449, pperm≤0.050), luteinizing hormone – rs117585797 ANO2 (β= 0.618 - 0.709, pperm≤0.050), progesterone – rs117145500 CHD9 (β=0.365 - 0.429, pperm<0.050), prolactin – rs1641549 TP53 (β=-0.306 - -0.218, pperm<0.050), testosterone – rs148982377 ZNF789 and rs34670419 ZKSCAN5 (β=0.492, pperm=0.050). Conclusion: Associations of candidate gene polymorphism with the level of sex hormones in patients with endometriosis have been established.

Published: March 2023

Phase equilibria and critical phenomena in cut 1 of the quaternary system water – pyridine – butyric acid – potassium iodide whose constituent ternary liquid system had a closed binodal curve were studied by means of the visual-polythermal method within 5–60°C. We have determined the temperature dependence of the solution composition corresponding to the critical solution point of the immiscibility region. Phase state isotherms constructed on the triangle of the cut for eight temperatures have allowed topological transformation of the phase diagram for the examined cut of the composition tetrahedron with temperature changes to be revealed. It is revealed that, at small concentration potassium iodide possesses salting-in action in water-organic solutions and, at increased concentration it shows salting-out. For four-component systems it was established for the first time.

Published: March 2023

The sorption, elastic-plastic, surface-structural, optical and bactericidal properties of chitosan films of various chemical forms were studied. Transfer of the polymer from its salt form into the basic one results in reduction of the sorption capability, strength and elastic properties of the films, structural changes of the surface, and an increase in the absolute value of the specific optical rotation by more than an order of magnitude.

The effect of exogenous indole in respect to growth characteristics of the basidiomycete Lentinula edodes submerged culture has been revealed to manifest itself in the mycelial biomass diminution at the indole concentration of 10‾ 4–10‾1 g/l. The production of indolyl3-acetic and indolyl-3-pyruvic acids was stimulated by indole. The set of mushroom’s extracellular compounds of indolic nature on the indole-enriched media included also tryptamine, tryptophane, indolyl3-acetamide. The biosynthesis of these compounds was suppressed by exogenous indole to a variable extent depending on the addition’s concentration and fungal culture age. The pathway of indole biochemical transformation under these conditions was observed in the form of oxindole occurrence.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) preperations were isolated from the outer membrane of the bacterium Herbaspirillum seropedicae Z78 by using various methods. SDS electrophoresis revealed that the samples were heterogeneous in nature and that R-form molecules were predominant. Analysis of the LPS showed the presence of components characteristic of these glycopolymers: carbohydrates, KDO, and lipid A fatty acids. The major components of the hydrophobic portion of the LPS were found to include 3-hydroxyundecanoic, 2-hydroxydodecanoic, 3-hydroxydodecanoic, tetradecanoic, 2-hydroxytetradecanoic, and hexadecanoic acids. The polysaccharide portion of the LPS contained rhamnose, mannose, glucose, galactose, glucosamine, and heptose, which is an essential component of the LPS core. It also contained an unidentified monosaccharide.

A evidenciação ambiental refere-se aos relatórios corporativos que abordam aspectos relacionados ao meio ambiente e a questões socioeconômicas. Para a teoria da legitimidade a divulgação de informações de sustentabilidade busca gerenciar impressões dos stakeholders e preservar a legitimidade organizacional. Diante disso, o objetivo do estudo foi verificar os principais aspectos socioambientais divulgados nos relatórios de sustentabilidade, das empresas da Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3), no período de 2013 a 2018. A amostra é constituída por 120 empresas e os dados foram coletados por meio de análise de conteúdo dos relatórios de sustentabilidade. Para análise dos relatórios foram considerados 85 itens, sendo 47 sociais e 38 ambientais. Quanto à abordagem do problema, foi emprega a técnica de análise de fatorial dos dados e os testes de diferença de média de Kruskal-Wallis e de Mann-Whitney. Os resultados apontam que os principais aspectos reportados nos relatórios estão relacionados aos colaboradores, à comunicação com stakeholders e comunidade, a preservação ambiental e redução dos Gases do Efeito Estufa (GEE). O estudo contribui com a teoria da divulgação voluntária, pois indica a presença de informações desfavoráveis, apesar de a maioria ser favorável. Além disso, contribui com a teoria da legitimidade, pois indica que empresas com Potencial de Poluição e Utilização de Recursos Naturais (PPURN) divulgam mais informações, afinal precisa manter sua legitimidade perante aos stakeholders.
Impact of Water Research Commission Cowpea Project on the improvement of cropping systems and nutrition of farmers in Limpopo province, South Africa
Authors:   University of Limpopo, Asiwe JNA
Published: March 2023

Two pilot surveys were conducted to assess the status of cultural practices, the diversity of crops grown and diet, training and skill development, as well as the daily diet eaten among the farmers in the study areas (Ga-Thaba and Bela-Bela). The purpose of the pre-project commencement survey (Survey 1) was to enable the project team to ascertain whether there was any gap or felt needs that the project could execute. In light of this, Survey 1 was conducted to determine the status of the cropping systems, crops grown, constraints to production, and dietary intakes in the communities at the initiation of the project. This ascertained the potential gaps or needs that the project could accomplish in the communities. The other survey, the post-project execution survey (Survey 2) was to assess whether there were positive changes or impacts at the end of the project stemming from the activities of the project in the areas of cultural practices, crop diversity, dietary intake and nutrition of farmers, training of farmers, constraints to production, utilisation and uptake of the benefits. During surveys 1 and 2, a total of 42 and 50 farmers were sampled from Ga-Thaba and Bela-Bela communities, respectively in 2015 at the initiation of the project and in 2019 at the completion of the project. Results arising from the sampled farmers indicate that from the variables measured during Survey 1, significant information or gaps as the dire needs of the farmers were identified which showed that the project was relevant for the study areas. In addition, the results from Survey 2 indicate that the project was appropriate to meet the needs of the farmers, filling the gaps identified during Survey 1. This implied that the project was successfully able to attain the stated objectives and added value to the livelihoods of the farmers in terms of crop diversification, the dietary intakes and diversity, training and skill development to empower and improve the communities on rural livelihoods, food security and nutrition. Key words: Crop diversity, cowpea, dietary intake, empowerment, food security and nutrition
Harnessing large-scale agro-based investments in the Sagcot area for inclusive agricultural transformation in Tanzania
Authors:   University of Dar es Salaam, Makundi H , Mongula B
Published: March 2023

The colonial and post-colonial large-scale agriculture has brought the far-ranging implications on the local population in Tanzania. These include dispossession of land, dislocation of migrant labourers who are also subjected to poor work conditions and induced imbalances in terms of gender and ethnic relations. The government and other actors in Tanzania have strived to reduce the effects by fostering inclusive large-scale agriculture that benefit the small-scale farmers. This includes the move to initiate a 20-year public-private partnership on large-scale agribusiness namely Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SACGOT) in 2010. Serious concerns were raised against SAGCOT especially on the extent to which it entails uprooting and taking away lands from poor rural dwellers and turning them into poorly paid casual labourers thus increasing poverty and food insecurity. Consequently, the coordinating unit of SAGCOT vowed to improve food security to hundreds of thousands of poor farmers. The primary research was designed to examine the inclusivity aspects of the six selected large-scale investment schemes under the SAGCOT partnership. The Responsible Agriculture Investment (RAI) Framework was employed to assess sustainable labour practices, community engagements and fairness in out-grower arrangements. While the investment schemes demonstrated a fairly positive outlook pertaining to social sustainability under the RAI framework, a notable variation was observed across the six schemes in relation to specific RAI indicators. For instance, a company that demonstrated the outstanding performance in corporate social responsibility also performed poorly in the domain of wages and employee relations. A set of sustainability benchmarks developed jointly by the SAGCOT Center and civil society organizations and implemented on voluntary basis by a few member investors need to be harmonized and monitored across all investment schemes. This is especially important for the small-scale sub-contracted firms which lacked the requisite skills and capacity to engage in a more sustainable manner.

Family Life – between Charism and Institution. Signalling Multidimensionality and Complexity of Human Interactions for Business Institutions and Society
Authors: Michalski Michał
Published: March 2023

This paper analyses the complexity of family life, which includes both its charismatic
and institutional aspects. Deepening the understanding of this basic social
group can be useful in explaining how human beings in their decisions and actions,
as well as organizations, unceasingly transcend different oppositions and
dimensions.
Undertaking this topic is not only important in the context of understanding
the fundamental and complex experience of family life in the process of preparing
and introducing new members to society, but also from the organizational perspective.
It means that exploring the role of both dimensions – charismatic and institutional
– which are somehow complementary, is crucial for understanding and
harmonizing the different relationships and interactions within organizations,
including business ones. In this way the article shows the connection between the
functioning of the family and society (including organizations within it).
Entre Dios, el Rey y la Patria: discursos políticos-religiosos durante la rebelión del Cuzco de 1814
Authors: Iberico Ruiz Rolando
Published: March 2023

La crisis monárquica que estalló en 1808, tras la abdicación de Carlos IV y, posteriormente, de Fernando VII, sumergieron a España y su imperio en una situación política sin precedentes en la historia del reino. La conformación de juntas de gobierno en España y América produjo una fuerte politización de la sociedad a ambos lados del imperio. Este proceso se vigorizó por la igualdad jurídica entre españoles y americanos, sancionada por la Junta Central mediante el decreto del 22 de enero de 1809, que además incluía la convocatoria a las primeras elecciones de diputados a la Junta Central (Peralta, 1996: 100). En América hispánica, la principal consecuencia fue que los debates políticos se tornaron más radicales durante los años de las Cortes Generales, reunidas en Cádiz entre 1810 y 1814.
Huánuco (1812) y el Cuzco (1814): entre la promulgación y la derogación de la constitución de Cádiz
Authors: O'Phelan Scarlett
Published: March 2023

La junta de Huánuco de 1812 y la del Cuzco de 1814 tienen un punto en común: ambas se dan desfasadas con relación a la constitución liberal de Cádiz de 1812. Los disturbios de Huánuco estallaron el 22 de febrero de 1812, semanas antes que se decretara la constitución liberal que sería promulgada el 19 de marzo del mismo año, en Cádiz. Por su parte, la junta del Cuzco se instaló el 4 de agosto de 1814, habiendo ya sido derogada la constitución gaditana el 19 de marzo de ese mismo año, en Valencia. Es decir, Fernando VII ya había retomado el trono de España tres meses antes de producirse el conato cuzqueño, pero con un tiempo ajustado como para que las noticias de su reingreso a Madrid llegaran al virreinato del Perú y circularan por las provincias del interior.
El ejército auxiliar del Perú y la rebelión del Cuzco (1814) : guerra, política e insurgencia en el Alto Perú
Authors: Macchi Virginia
Published: March 2023

El año 1814 fue decisivo para el curso de la revolución rioplatense. En el plano europeo, la restauración de las monarquías en el Viejo Mundo luego de la derrota de Napoleón, el regreso de Fernando VII al trono español y la disolución de las Cortes Liberales suponían para los rioplatenses la necesidad de definir su estatus político con respecto a la metrópoli. En el ámbito americano, 1814 marcó un parteaguas en el rumbo de las insurgencias: la caída de Chile en el sur y la de Venezuela en el norte, dejaba a Buenos Aires como el único foco rebelde del continente, que debía resistir las fuerzas que Fernando VII pensaba mandar ahora que la guerra europea había concluido. Al norte de las provincias del Río de la Plata se encontraba acantonado un nuevo ejército auxiliar, al mando de José Rondeau, que buscaba controlar la región altoperuana y contener el avance de las fuerzas del rey sobre las provincias norteñas, luego de los desastres de Vilcapugio y Ayohuma.
