Authors: Romero Estevez Inés Maritza
Published: January 2025

La imputación objetiva en los delitos culposos es crucial para determinar la responsabilidad penal en casos donde no hay intención de causar daño, pero la conducta imprudente o negligente genera un resultado lesivo. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la aplicabilidad de la teoría de la imputación objetiva en los delitos culposos tipificados en el Código Orgánico Integral Penal (COIP) de Ecuador. El método utilizado fue de tipo mixto, con un análisis descriptivo de fuentes secundarias, revisando textos académicos, jurisprudencia y normativas legales. Los resultados mostraron que la aplicación de la imputación objetiva en los casos analizados fue escasa, reflejando un vacío en el análisis judicial de las teorías pertinentes. Concluye que es necesario un análisis más exhaustivo de la imputación objetiva para garantizar una aplicación coherente y justa de la ley, protegiendo los derechos de los imputados y fortaleciendo la justicia penal en Ecuador.
La eugenesia y su marco jurídico en España y México
Authors: Abad Aguilera Miguel Ángel , García Lara Roberto
Published: January 2025

Este artículo aborda la evolución y el marco jurídico de la eugenesia en España y México, con un enfoque comparativo que examina las influencias históricas, culturales y políticas en la formulación de sus respectivas legislaciones. En España, la legislación sobre eugenesia estuvo profundamente marcada por el régimen franquista, que implementó políticas de esterilización forzada y control natal bajo la ideología de regeneración racial. La Ley 14/2007 de Investigación Biomédica, junto con la normativa europea, establece un marco ético que previene posibles abusos y protege los derechos humanos. En México, la eugenesia estuvo vinculada a proyectos nacionalistas y revolucionarios que buscaban mejorar la calidad genética de la población. La Constitución y la Ley General de Salud de 2006 subrayan la dignidad humana en la regulación de prácticas médicas, incluidas las relacionadas con la reproducción asistida. Aunque ambos países comparten desafíos comunes, como la falta de infraestructura adecuada y la necesidad de recursos en bioética, sus enfoques legales presentan diferencias sustanciales. Este estudio ofrece un análisis crítico de cómo cada país equilibra la investigación científica con la protección de los derechos humanos, identificando también las áreas de mejora y desarrollo en sus marcos legales.

Neste estudo, foi desenvolvido e aplicado um novo modelo cinético baseado no conceito de grau de extensão de reação para a modelagem e otimização do processo fermentativo na produção de bebidas frutadas de seriguela (Spondias purpurea). Utilizaram-se leveduras selvagens de Saccharomyces cerevisiae, isoladas da polpa de cajá (Spondias mombin), para avaliar o desempenho fermentativo em mostos de seriguela a 17 °Brix, suplementados com soluções de sacarose a 30 °Brix em diferentes proporções (25 % e 75 %). O modelo cinético permitiu o cálculo dos parâmetros fermentativos, viabilizando a análise e simulação dos processos. Os resultados demonstraram que a maior concentração de etanol foi obtida com 25 % de solução de sacarose, enquanto a maior concentração de biomassa foi alcançada com 75 %. A velocidade específica máxima de produção de etanol (μP = 3,03 h⁻¹) foi observada após 36 h, e a velocidade específica de crescimento celular (μX = 0,064 h⁻¹) atingiu seu pico em 168 h. As produtividades máximas de biomassa (ÃX = 0,045 g/L·h) e de etanol (ÃP = 0,333 g/L·h) foram alcançadas em 231 h e 71 h, respectivamente. A aplicação do modelo cinético mostrou-se eficaz na caracterização e otimização do processo fermentativo, evidenciando seu potencial para prever condições experimentais e estimar concentrações de espécies não medidas diretamente, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de novas bebidas fermentadas à base de frutas.

Authors: Melo Igor Silva , Duarte Leandro Neves
Published: January 2025

Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma análise computacional da estabilidade de um talude localizado em uma área de risco no município de Ouro Branco – MG. A região apresenta condições geotécnicas desfavoráveis, o que torna necessário avaliar a situação de estabilidade do talude, considerando-se a interação entre as cargas atuantes e as características do solo. Busca-se, assim, determinar o fator de segurança da situação. Para isso, foi empregado um tratamento estatístico utilizando a distribuição t de Student para analisar os dados obtidos por meio de sondagens à percussão (SPT), o que possibilitou a elaboração de um modelo estratigráfico compatibilizado com o perfil topográfico da área estudada. Observou-se que as tensões cisalhantes solicitantes estão abaixo do fator de segurança admissível para a capacidade resistente do solo, resultando em um fator de segurança médio de 1,03. Dessa forma, conclui-se que a cunha de ruptura mais crítica não atende aos critérios mínimos de segurança.

A doença arterial coronariana (DAC) é responsável por mais de 300 mil mortes por ano no mundo, sendo a principal causa de óbito na população adulta e, geralmente, causada por obstrução das artérias coronárias por uma placa aterosclerótica. O infarto agudo do miocárdio com supradesnivelamento do segmento ST (IAMCSST) é diagnosticado por um quadro clínico compatível de dor definitivamente anginosa associado a evidências, principalmente, eletrocardiográficas e laboratoriais de necrose miocárdica. Objetiva-se, nesse artigo, elucidar a abordagem ao paciente com IAMCSST segundo as principais atualizações na literatura. Para tanto, procede-se à revisão literária sobre a abordagem do IAMCSST. Desse modo, observa-se que o manejo desses pacientes deve ser iniciado precocemente visando a reperfusão coronariana para reduzir os riscos de complicações mecânicas, garantindo um melhor prognóstico, o que permite concluir que após a alta hospitalar, os pacientes devem adotar novo estilo de vida ou aprimorar os hábitos antigos, além do tratamento farmacológico, a fim de evitar um novo episódio de infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM).

Authors: Iglesias Bruna Rabello , Vaquero Emily Cabral , Queiroz Paulo Roberto Martins
Published: January 2025

A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) preconiza as Anomalias Congênitas (AC) como alterações funcionais e/ou estruturais presentes no nascimento. Por se tratar de agravos em saúde com causas multifatoriais e apresentações múltiplas em diferentes níveis tanto da gestação quanto da vida neonatal, foi estabelecida uma lista de anomalias prioritárias para vigilância em saúde no Brasil. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estabelecer o perfil de prevalência dos nascidos-vivos no Distrito Federal, de 2010 a 2019, para seis grupos de ACs. A primeira etapa do trabalho consistiu em uma busca integrativa de dados relacionados às ACs em suas distintas categorias. Foram selecionados artigos pertinentes para o tema da pesquisa de entendimento de diagnóstico, tratamento e epidemiologia dos agravos a partir da leitura do título e dos resumos. Em um segundo momento, tendo como base a revisão de literatura de cada anomalia, foi feita uma extração de dados do DATASUS por meio das plataformas oficiais do governo e dos dados tabulados da Declaração de Nascidos-Vivos (DNV) do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos-Vivos (SINASC) pela plataforma TABNET, tendo um número total de ACs no Distrito Federal para nascimentos entre 2010 e 2021 de 5775, sendo esta a soma de anomalias detectadas em cada ano. O grupo de anomalias mais prevalente no Brasil é Defeitos de Membros, seguido de Cardiopatias Congênitas, já no DF a mais notificada também é Defeitos de Membros, porém, seguida de Anomalias de Órgãos Genitais. A presente pesquisa aponta que possa existir relação entre a prevalência das anomalias com a idade e escolaridade da mãe. Também mostra-se uma relação com o tipo de parto, sendo o cesáreo mais prevalente em crianças com anomalias e que também possa existir uma maior quantidade de nascidos pré-termo com anomalias em relação à população geral. É importante ressaltar que existem diversas políticas públicas no DF voltadas a essas anomalias, porém, não foram encontradas políticas para enfrentamento de Defeitos de Membros ou de Órgãos Genitais. Por fim, ressalta-se que o que se observou diante dos gráficos e tabelas apresentadas na pesquisa indicaram um uso excessivo de dados ignorados nas diferentes categorias de análise, dificultando o trabalho estatístico e analítico de correlação dos dados entre informações distintas.

Published: January 2025

Leprosy is a chronic, curable, infectious granulomatous disease caused by acid-fast bacilli (AFB) from the Mycobacterium leprae complex. Early diagnosis allows for appropriate treatment, preventing transmission and potential neurological sequelae. This report describes a case of a 67-year-old male patient who has presented with complaints of "allergy," experiencing itching in the left upper limb, accompanied by scratches, with skin lesions suggestive of factitious dermatitis. Months after treatment, he developed new ulcerated lesions and was diagnosed, through clinical and histopathological examination, as having dimorphic-Virchowian leprosy. In this sense, the clinical diagnosis of leprosy can be significantly challenging, especially considering its complex pathology, diverse symptoms, delayed progression, and varying immune responses.

A COVID longa é caracterizada pela persistência de sintomas como fadiga, dispneia e dor torácica, que podem durar meses após a infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2, e está associada a processos inflamatórios e disfunção endotelial que aumentam o risco de doenças cardiovasculares (DCV). Objetivou-se, neste estudo, identificar os principais fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de DCV em pacientes com COVID longa, descrever os mecanismos fisiopatológicos envolvidos e avaliar o impacto desses fatores na saúde cardiovascular a médio e longo prazo. Para tanto, procedeu-se a uma revisão integrativa, com buscas nas bases de dados PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, considerando artigos dos últimos cinco anos que relacionassem COVID longa e risco cardiovascular. Desse modo, observou-se que a inflamação persistente, disfunção endotelial, idade avançada, sexo feminino, gravidade da doença na fase aguda e comorbidades como hipertensão, diabetes e obesidade são fatores que elevam significativamente o risco de DCV em pacientes pós-COVID. Esses achados permitiram concluir que o acompanhamento clínico direcionado e a implementação de estratégias preventivas são essenciais para mitigar complicações cardiovasculares nesses pacientes.

Authors: Ribeiro Matheus da Silva , Freire José Osório Feijó de Lima , Giacomini Victor Queiroz
Published: January 2025

INTRODUÇÃO: A luxação divergente é uma condição rara, que envolve a ruptura das articulações umeroulnar, radiocapitelar e radioulnar proximal. Existem dois tipos descritos: anteroposterior e transversal divergente, sendo a última ainda menos comum. De ocorrência rara e ainda com escassa literatura científica, diagnósticos incorretos e tratamento inadequado ainda são frequentes. OBJETIVO: Reunir e sintetizar dados da literatura sobre a luxação divergente transversa do cotovelo pediátrico, visando ampliar o conhecimento científico e subsidiar o diagnóstico e manejo dessa lesão rara. METEDOLOGIA: A metodologia envolveu uma busca no PubMed utilizando os termos “Divergent dislocation”; “Transverse divergent dislocation”; “Elbow”; “Children”; e “Pediatric”. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: A luxação divergente do cotovelo, frequentemente resultante de uma queda com a mão estendida e hiperpronação do cotovelo, afeta todas as articulações do cotovelo e pode envolver lesões significativas das partes moles. O tratamento padrão envolve redução fechada, utilizando a técnica descrita por Thompson. A imobilização é realizada por até três semanas, seguida por fisioterapia para recuperação de amplitude de movimento e fortalecimento muscular. Complicações podem incluir síndrome compartimental, instabilidade e aprisionamento do nervo mediano, mas a recuperação geralmente é satisfatória quando tratada precocemente. CONCLUSÃO: A luxação divergente transversa do cotovelo, embora rara, pode causar complicações graves se não tratada adequadamente. O diagnóstico precoce e o domínio da técnica de redução de Thompson são essenciais para bons resultados. A escassez de literatura dificulta diretrizes definitivas, e a conscientização dos profissionais de saúde é crucial para o manejo adequado.
A Study on Standardizing Performance Indicators for Local Social Enterprises: Development and Weight Derivation of Indicators Using the IPOO Model
Authors:   Society for Standards, Certification and Safety, Bae Hyoung Seok , Cho Boo Yun , Kang Yeon Sil
Published: January 2025

This study proposes and validates a new performance evaluation framework for social enterprises based on the IPOO (Input-Process-Output-Outcome) model. Existing Social Value Index (SVI) indicators focus primarily on short-term outcomes, failing to adequately reflect the long-term sustainability and public value of social enterprises. To address these limitations, this study designed a systematic evaluation model encompassing inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes, and validated its reliability through expert opinions and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis. The research was conducted in two phases. First, a comparative evaluation between the existing SVI and the IPOO-based indicators demonstrated the superiority of the new framework in integrating social value, supporting decision-making, and simplifying the evaluation process. Second, the weights of the four key dimensions—Input, Process, Output, and Outcome—along with their sub-components, were derived. The results revealed that the Outcome dimension, which reflects long-term social change, was the most significant. The Output dimension focused on short-term achievements, while the Process and Input dimensions played essential roles in assessing operational efficiency and resource utilization. This study offers a multidimensional framework for evaluating the performance of social enterprises, overcoming the limitations of existing methods. It contributes both academically and practically by providing a reliable tool that captures the diverse objectives of social enterprises. Future research should focus on clarifying the distinctions between Output and Outcome indicators and refining the evaluation procedures.

Authors:   Society for Standards, Certification and Safety, Boo Gwihyeon , Kang Yeonsil , Cho Booyun
Published: January 2025

Workation is a concept that combines work and leisure, enabling individuals to work flexibly and creatively in remote environments while taking breaks to recharge. Designed to enhance productivity and employee well-being, workation has gained traction during the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by the growing trends of remote work and social distancing. As a result, competition among tourism-focused cities to attract workation participants has intensified. Regions like Gangwon, Jeju, and Busan have established dedicated workation spaces, with innovative programs offered by local cities and startups to attract workation travelers. While studies on workation have focused primarily on environmental design and policy directions, there is still a lack of research on the decision-making criteria used by participants to select workation destinations. This study aims to identify the decision-making factors considered in workation situations, where individuals must balance work and leisure, and measure the relative importance of each factor. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), this study extracts the key criteria for selecting workation destinations and determines their relative weights. The findings are expected to provide a foundation for future workation research and contribute to strategic planning for enhancing the competitiveness of tourism-oriented cities.

Authors:   Society for Standards, Certification and Safety, Lee Dayeon , Jin Seohoon
Published: January 2025

For the convenience of consumers’ usage of the city gas, the maintenance of the pressure of the city gas is crucial in Korea as it is widely utilized throughout the country. Gas regulators reduce high-pressure gas to a usable pressure. This study proposes a clustering approach for the pressure patterns of gas regulator systems and aims to derive the characteristics of these clusters by linking them with regional factors. This helps to identify groups of pressure regulators with similar environmental conditions and pressure patterns, which can then be used as a foundation for establishing common maintenance strategies. For the clustering approach, k-means clustering was employed. DTW (Dynamic Time Warping) was used as distance measures. The Elbow method and Silhouette Coefficient were used to evaluate the models’ performance. Additionally, to identify the regional characteristics of the gas regulators, public data and the Kakao API were used to consider variables such as residential facilities and transportation which then enabled the development of a suitable clustering approach. A total of 10 clusters were derived, and the characteristics of each cluster were summarized.

Published: January 2025

In this study, it was developed that an AI-based evacuation safety assessment system to support the fire safety manager's planning of egress safety on fire. This web-based system makes it easier to perform and view the results of evacuation safety evaluations, which require highly specialized knowledge and experience, by artificial intelligence. The system is composed of AI expert systems and generative AI systems. To develop the system, the stages and flow of work evaluated by experts were first established. Then, the parts where generative AI interventions would be applied were identified. The prototype of this system was developed. The standardization of the stages and flow of the tasks performed by existing experts, as well as the parts where AI is used in each element, is deemed possible. The development of standards is considered necessary to improve the reliability of similar systems that will be developed in the future. Furthermore, it is considered feasible to establish standards for the procedures and content of AI-based evacuation assessments through domestic and international standardization organizations.

Authors:   Society for Standards, Certification and Safety, Park JiHyun , Yu MyoungSan , Lee MyoungJae , Kim Jaeyoung
Published: January 2025

The standardization of audits for implementing ESG management in government-funded research institutes is an essential means to realize the core elements of ESG management: transparency and accountability. It also serves as a complementary tool for sustainable growth by ensuring objective evaluation of ESG management through audits. Therefore, audit standardization is a crucial component for achieving sustainable growth through ESG management. Government-funded research institutes can systematically manage and transparently disclose ESG management performance through audit standardization, thereby gaining the trust of various stakeholders, including the public. However, the current ESG management indicators of government-funded research institutes are limited to reflecting management evaluations, and the ALIO disclosure system provides only minimal information related to ESG management. Furthermore, starting in 2024, government-funded research institutes will no longer be subject to ALIO disclosures, eliminating even the minimal obligation for ESG disclosures, making the implementation of ESG management even more challenging. In this context, the role of audit departments in monitoring and managing ESG management is more critical than ever. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the current issues in the audit systems of government-funded research institutes and propose a standardized audit framework based on ESG management systems and an execution framework for audit standardization. This is expected to provide insights and contribute to the systematic adoption and operation of ESG management in government-funded research institutes.

The study aims to investigate the impact of Cadmium (Cd) exposure on the liver of young Wistar rats and to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments with phillyrea anguistifolia aqueous extract in mitigating the damage caused by this chemical toxin. The plant extract was extracted via infusion and maceraion, resulting in yields of 10.9% for the infusion and 11 % for the maceration. Acute toxicity from Cadmium was induced by administering an oral dose of 20 mg/kg over 35 days. In rats exposed to Cd, there were significant increases in hepatic markers such as AST and ALT and ALP in the blood, alongside a inecrease in Glucose levels and urea and creatinin. Additionally, the liver showed signs of tissue damage. Treatment with Phillyra angusistifolia significantly alleviated the biochemical alterations, as well as the histological and cellular damage observed in the liver tissue.

The Feminine Voice in Mythology: A Comparative Study of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s ‘The Palace of Illusions’ and ‘The Forest of Enchantments’
Authors: Brunda R , Shetty Ujwala S
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the feminist perspectives in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s novels The Palace of Illusions and The Forest of Enchantments, where the author reimagines two of India’s most iconic epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, through the eyes of their marginalized female protagonists. The Palace of Illusions retells the story of Draupadi, portraying her as a complex, independent woman who challenges traditional gender roles and societal expectations. Similarly, The Forest of Enchantments gives voice to Sita, emphasizing her strength, agency, and emotional depth, countering her usual depiction as a passive figure. By comparing these two works, this study highlights Divakaruni’s contribution to feminist literature, as she reinterprets ancient mythological narratives to foreground women’s resilience, autonomy, and inner struggles. The paper argues that through these narratives, Divakaruni asserts the importance of reclaiming and retelling women’s stories, redefining the role of women in both literature and society.

Coming to Grips with Rather Elusive Adverbs: On English 'rather' and French 'plutôt'
Authors: Ghesquière Lobke , Brems Lieselotte
Published: January 2025

This parallel corpus study looks into the contrastive connective and degree modifier uses of two cognate adverbs that can be considered each other’s crosslinguistic counterparts, English rather and French plutôt. These adverbs have very similar functional profiles, both being able to act as compromisers and to express the same range of contrastive relationships—reformulation, preference, replacement and antithesis. This study confirms earlier findings regarding the predominance of the contrastive uses over the degree uses and the overall trend for the contrastive markers to mostly be translated by each other. In addition, however, this study has shown that despite the adverbs’ cross-linguistic similarity, translators often opt for alternative renderings of these adverbs rather than their immediate corresponding forms in the target language. Whereas omission is sometimes opted for, especially for the contrastive uses and for degree rather, explicitation could often be observed.
Questioning the Climate Crisis: A Contrastive Analysis of Parascientific Discourses
Authors: Curry Niall
Published: January 2025

Research on climate crisis discourses occupies an important niche in applied linguistics. While it is known that cross-linguistic and cross-cultural variation can play key roles in differentiating the construction of climate knowledge, there remains a dearth in multilingual work on climate-themed parascientific discourses. Addressing this gap, this paper presents a corpus-based contrastive analysis of direct questions in parascientific texts in English, French, and Spanish. The results demonstrate that direct questions are a core feature of climate-themed academic news blogs in each language and that they are significantly more frequent in French than in English. Second, they indicate key thematic domains in which experts ask questions in each language, including science and technology in English, science in French, and politics and society in Spanish. Third, they offer insight into the metadiscursive and discursive roles of direct questions in an emerging, multilingual parascientific genre. These roles include helping authors to manage texts, make arguments, and frame hypothetical situations.

Píldora formativa perteneciente al proyecto #NoTodoVale #TrataComoQuierasQueTeTraten: Campaña de sensibilización para promover valores ligados con la igualdad de género. Este proyecto está diseñado e impulsado desde la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Sevilla. Está financiado por la Unidad para la Igualdad del Vicerrectorado de Servicios Sociales, Campus Saludable, Igualdad y Cooperación de la citada universidad.

La campaña de sensibilización incluye cinco píldoras audiovisuales en las que se plantean situaciones conflictivas sobre la desigualdad de género en el entorno universitario.

Todas las situaciones presentadas en las píldoras audiovisuales son ficticias y los actores y actrices están simulando lo que ocurre.

Este recurso inicialmente se ha diseñado para estudiantes de las titulaciones relacionadas con la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación, como Pedagogía, Educación Infantil o Educación Primaria. Sin embargo, se utilizarán para sensibilizar al resto de estudiantes universitarios y pueden emplearse en seminarios, jornadas, talleres extracurriculares y actividades de sensibilización en el ámbito universitario.

Es idóneo para explicar el concepto de micromachismos, que consiste en pequeñas formas de desigualdad de género normalizadas en el día a día, y cómo estas pueden perpetuar estructuras patriarcales. Además, contribuye al entendimiento de la teoría de roles de género y su impacto en los comportamientos y actitudes en entornos universitarios. Este recurso fomenta la reflexión crítica sobre comportamientos diagnosticados en el contexto universitario y puede extrapolarse a las redes sociales. Su uso puede ayudar a entender cómo estos comportamientos afectan a las dinámicas de poder y equidad en la sociedad, para prevenir situaciones de discriminación sexistas.

Ámbitos y prácticas de discriminación hacia migrantes en Chile: La exacerbación de la otredad

Published: January 2025

In recent decades, the American continent has experienced a notable increase in interregional migratory flows. In the case of Chile, this phenomenon has manifested itself in the intensification of the arrival of migrants from Latin American and Caribbean countries. However, the literature reports that this migration is part of historical processes of discrimination, racism, xenophobia and social exclusion. This research asks about those who suffer this discrimination and about the spheres and practices in which these elements are manifested, in order to make visible the spaces in which socially relevant opportunities for these groups are limited. The studies show that the classic intersections between the categories of race, gender, social class, remain unchanged to account for the structural and systemic inequalities that shape the presence of a migrant being deprived of rights, a different «other», precarious, who is made invisible and/or excluded. The findings of this study not only shed light on the situation of discrimination and migration in Chile, but also reveal patterns and challenges shared throughout the Americas. By connecting the experiences in Chile with those of other countries in the continent, the need for political and social approaches that recognize and address the transnational nature of migration becomes evident.

This study aims to analyze the influence of promotion and product quality on customer loyalty with purchase decisions as an intervening variable in the Teras Coffee micro business in Watampanua Village, Angkona District, East Luwu. This research method uses a quantitative approach with data collection through a questionnaire filled out by 100 respondents. The results show that product promotion and quality have a significant influence on purchasing decisions, which in turn affects customer loyalty. However, it was found that product promotion and quality did not have a significant direct influence on customer loyalty without going through the purchase decision. These findings suggest that purchase decisions play an important role in building customer loyalty, indicating that efforts to increase customer loyalty cannot rely solely on product quality and promotional strategies, but must also ensure that consumers are satisfied with their purchase decisions. As such, effective product promotion and quality improvement strategies must be balanced with efforts to improve the buying experience to achieve sustainable customer loyalty.
