MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN STATISTICAL MECHANICS
Authors:   Institute of Mathematics of the NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv, Rebenko O.L.
Published: November 2024

The book is devoted to the systematic description of the mathematical foundations of modern statistical mechanics.The approach is based on methods of the infinite dimensional analysis, which most adequately meet the mathematical needs of describing physical systems with a large number of elements. A characteristic feature of the description is the application of infinite-dimensional integrals, which makes it possibleavoid cumbersome combinatorial formulas and make the proof of many theorems and statements more transparent. The issue of interaction between point particles is covered in detail, new sufficiency criteria for potentials, mathematical problems of the thermodynamic limit for correlation functions (ordinary, connected, partially connected) by the methods of integral equations and methods of cluster expansions. The quasi-lattice approximation for thermodynamic functions and correlation functions of continuous systems are described within the framework of the so-called {\it cell gas} model. Systems of ions and dipoles are described. A rigorous justification of the theory of Debye–Hückel of screening inteructions is given. Quantum continuous systems are briefly considered from the point of view of the technique of cluster expansions for the reduced density matrix.

For senior year students, graduate students and scientists who seek to deepen the understanding of mathematical problems of statistical mechanics.

The influence of pre-sowing treatment of Solomiya, Verden and Staleva winter wheat seeds either with ozonation or low temperatures (‒20, ‒40, ‒80 and ‒196°C) on their initial growth parameters was under study. The findings demonstrated a stimulating effect of ‒20 and ‒80°C on dynamics of seed germination and biometric parameters of seedlings for all the cultivars. The winter wheat seeds cooled down to ‒40°C showed virtually no changes in their germination rates compared to the control. Cooling down to ‒196°C worsened the germination of Solomiya seeds, decreasing the shoot length, dry weight of sprouts and roots as compared to the control. Verden and Staleva cultivars revealed the root elongation and accelerated seed germination. Ozonation caused no effect on dynamics of seed germination in all the studied wheat cultivars, except for Staleva, where some inhibition of germination was noted. According to biometric parameters, the root length increased in all the cultivars, and dry weight of sprouts was additionally augmented in Solomiya one.
Parent Perspectives on Nirsevimab for Their Newborn
Authors: Hinderstein Sarah , Aragona Elena , Loyal Jaspreet
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

In 2023, nirsevimab, a monoclonal antibody against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), was approved in the United States to be given to infants to prevent bronchiolitis, a leading cause of pediatric hospitalizations. We sought to better understand how parents of otherwise healthy newborns would respond to this recommendation.

METHODS

We conducted semistructured interviews of purposefully sampled parents of newborns admitted to the well newborn unit between November 2023 and February 2024. Interviews were performed in a constant comparative manner until thematic sufficiency was reached using the Health Beliefs Model as a conceptual framework.

RESULTS

We conducted 28 interviews: 38% of participants planned to give nirsevimab to their newborn, 25% did not plan to, and 38% were unsure. Four major themes emerged: (1) Major knowledge gaps existed about RSV prophylaxis; (2) trust in pediatrician’s recommendation and fear of RSV infection contributed to uptake; (3) parents deferring RSV prophylaxis were concerned about side effects, wanted more time to decide, felt the maternal RSV vaccine was sufficient, and trusted their own prevention measures; and (4) there was misinformation about nirsevimab among parents including a perception that nirsevimab is a new understudied vaccine with similarities to the COVID-19 vaccine. Application of the Health Beliefs Model highlighted actionable opportunities to positively influence decision making around perceived susceptibility and RSV disease severity, benefits, barriers, self-efficacy, and cues to action.

CONCLUSIONS

Increasing overall awareness of both nirsevimab and RSV in infants, starting conversations during pregnancy to combat misinformation, leveraging trusting relationships with pediatricians and prenatal clinicians can help with future uptake.
A lusofonia enquanto olhar pós-colonial
Authors: De Sousa Vítor , Ribeiro Fábio
Published: November 2024

A lusofonia é um conceito pós-colonial, não podendo ser encarado em associação com qualquer tipo de ‘portugalidade’, termo cunhado durante o Estado Novo e alinhado com o slogan “Portugal do Minho a Timor”, então vigente. A lusofonia ficaria, desde logo, amputada se correspondesse apenas aos falantes de português espalhados pelo mundo e não consubstanciasse um lugar simbólico e cultural, extravasando essa correspondência semântica de proximidade que lhe esteve na origem, num mundo cada vez mais globalizado, que se inscreve no presente. Desvia-se, assim, da ideia da existência de uma língua única e de um ideário sem os quais não haveria promessa de continuidade entre Portugal e as suas então províncias ultramarinas. Por não se tratar de um assunto encerrado, o passado colonial pode revelar-se problemático. O conceito de lusofonia encerra, assim, algumas clivagens, não tendo sido por acaso que o acordo de formalização da CPLP (1996) tenha deixado de fora a palavra, não devido a uma mera coincidência, mas por remeter etimologicamente para uma centralidade portuguesa. E, mesmo que se afirme que já tudo foi escrito sobre a lusofonia, faltando apenas colocá-la em prática, ela não é consensual, havendo vários equívocos que têm que ser dirimidos para que se assuma na sua dinâmica pós-colonial. Este artigo propõe observar o percurso da lusofonia através da publicação de notícias nos média online lusófonos, que permita vislumbrar o alinhamento do que vai sendo publicado em relação com as políticas desenvolvidas por alguns países membros da CPLP, principalmente em Angola. Como metodologia, foi utilizada uma amostragem não probabilística, tendo o processo sido desenvolvido por acessibilidade ou conveniência. A recolha de dados foi feita através de documentação indireta, em que na pesquisa se utilizaram as notícias dos média lusófonos que estavam disponíveis online.

Authors: Vargas-Rojas Jorge Claudio , Vargas-Martínez Alejandro , Corrales-Brenes Eduardo
Published: November 2024

Introducción. El tamaño del efecto y la variabilidad son factores relevantes en la estimación del número de repeticiones necesario en un experimento, cuyo impacto suele ser desconocido por el investigador. Objetivo. Analizar el efecto de la variabilidad y el tamaño del efecto en el número de repeticiones necesario en experimentación agrícola. Materiales y métodos. Se utilizaron los parámetros de correlación espacial estimados a partir de ensayo de uniformidad en el cultivo de arroz para realizar 10 000 simulaciones de campos aleatorios. En cada simulación se conformaron 16 unidades experimentales de 24 m2 y se ajustó un análisis de varianza para estimar la varianza residual promedio como escenario A. En adición, se propuso un escenario B donde se usó el cuantil 95 de las varianzas estimadas. El tamaño del efecto se definió con base en los resultados de un metaanálisis sobre el efecto de prácticas agrícolas en el rendimiento del arroz y resultó ser un 15% de la media general de los datos del ensayo de uniformidad. También, se propusieron tamaños de efecto adicionales del 10% y 5% de la media general. Resultados. En el escenario A, se necesitaron cuatro repeticiones para alcanzar una potencia del 0,91 y detectar un efecto del 15%, mientras que seis repeticiones fueron necesarias para detectar un efecto del 10% con una potencia de 0,81. En el escenario B, cinco repeticiones lograron una potencia del 0,86 para detectar un efecto del 15%, mientras que nueve repeticiones fueron requeridas para detectar un efecto del 10% con una potencia del 0,82. En ninguno de los dos escenarios se alcanzó una potencia del 0,80 para detectar un efecto del 5%. Conclusión. Mientras más pequeño sea el tamaño del efecto a detectar y mayor sea la varianza residual, se requerirá más repeticiones para lograr una potencia de prueba del 0,80. Se deben considerar estos dos factores al planificar experimentos en agricultura.

The problem of statelessness in Poland and the Czech Republic in the context of the principle of popular sovereignty
Authors: Gajda Agnieszka
Published: November 2024

Constitutional solutions relating to the principle of popular sovereignty in the Republic of Poland and the Czech Republic show similarities and differences. The Author conducts an analysis using the dogmatic and the comparative method. She notes that the experience of statelessness has consequences not only in the sphere of national law but also in the sphere of European Union law. The Author describes the problem of statelessness that the Czech Republic has been facing since 1993, considering the solutions adopted in this country, in cooperation with UNHCR, to be exemplary. Moreover, she points to the experience of Poland, which has been struggling with the increased problem of statelessness since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. The Author reflects on the imperfection of applicable legal provisions, their interpretation but also the practice of application leading to departure from the standards of human rights protection. She shows that the legal and actual situation of stateless persons is worse than that of persons with citizenship. She concluded that it is necessary to create an internal, comprehensive legal regulation regarding stateless persons that would provide them with protection, including special procedures that would enable legal stay and exercise of the rights and freedoms of Ukrainians fleeing from the war in the territory of the receiving countries. The basic research method used was the analysis of applicable legal regulations and other source texts.

Participation of military units of the Republic of Poland in the United Nations Mission in Croatia in 1992–1995 – outline of the problem
Authors: Krzak Andrzej
Published: November 2024

The internal conflict in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia began in June 1991, when Slovenia and neighboring Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia. The fighting in Slovenia ended after 10 days, while the escalation of the conflict in Croatia continued for the following months. Both the federal authorities and the Serbs living in the Republic of Croatia were against the separatist plans, supported by both the political elites of the Republic and the Croats. European Community efforts to halt hostilities in mid-1991 and resolve the crisis through the Conference on Yugoslavia proved ineffective. The United Nations also took part in peacekeeping activities, whose representatives actively participated in mediation between the parties to the conflict. At the end of 1991, regular fighting took place in Croatia between rebellious Serbian troops (with the suport of the federal army) and the armed forces of the newly proclaimed Republic of Croatia. The Security Council decided, with the consent of representatives of the federal authorities and Croatia, to send a mission aimed at restoring peace between the parties to the conflict. The article presents the circumstances of creation and operation of the UNPROFOR PMC, which was placed in 1992 under legal responsibility in the “North” Sector, where, alongside Poles, Nigerians and Danes were stationed. The Polish battalion of UN peacekeeping forces in the former Yugoslavia served from April 1992 to December 1995, and ended its operations under the UNPROFOR mandate in March 1995. Over 3,000 soldiers joined POLBATT. It was the first operational mission of the Polish Army and the first when Poland regained full sovereignty. Polish soldiers, despite their lack of experience and the complicated political situation in the area of responsibility (in Krajina), fulfilled their mandate tasks and achieved satisfactory results during operational activities.

Promotion of Service Delivery in Terms of the Social Contract Theory in South Africa's Legal Framework
Authors: Okeng Ebi , Diala Anthony Chima
Published: November 2024

As is evident in the prevailing water and electricity rationing, South Africa is reeling from a crisis of poor service delivery. Against the background of its apartheid history and liberal constitution, this article examines how South Africa's legal framework promotes efficient service delivery in the context of a social contract theory. Using a literature review and content analysis of legislation, this article argues that basic service delivery is a human right that underlies the core function of the State regarding its social contract with citizens. The article critiques cooperative governance and the demarcation of service delivery duties between the spheres of government in the 1996 Constitution, the Municipal Structures Act, the Municipal Systems Act, and the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act. It demonstrates how the legal framework places a heavy burden on the local government to provide basic amenities. By highlighting how a social contract informs the purpose of the constitutional State, the article demonstrates why service delivery must be taken seriously in a nation desperately in need of socio-economic transformation.
Rare Earth Extraction with lonquest® 801 initial modelling development
Authors: Carrozza C.F. , Dutoy F. , Stella M.B.
Published: November 2024

Rare earth elements (REEs) are indispensable components in the manufacturing of high-tech devices, renewable energy technologies, and defence applications. As global demand for these elements continues to rise, there is a pressing need to optimize extraction processes for both efficiency and environmental sustainability. This study explores approaches to rare earth extraction using Ionquest® 801 and integrates a predictive modelling to enhance process understanding and optimization.
We conducted a screening test varying pH process to evaluate the best extraction efficiency. Starting pregnant leach solution (PLS), solution was prepared in the lab with the following rare earth elements: La, Ce, Gd, Dy, and Υ, at 0.02 M for each element. The data obtained were used to develop empirical and mechanistic models to predict rare earth extraction yields and flowsheet. Further tests were performed by mixing specific concentrations of different extractant and/ or phase modifier. Our experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed extraction methods, highlighting improvements in both yield and selectivity. The developed models successfully captured the complex relationships between process parameters and extraction efficiency, providing valuable insights for process optimization.

Authors:   Ural State University of Economics, Pichurin Ivan V.
Published: November 2024

The article analyzes the peculiarities of young specialists adaptation in the context of Russia transition to the model of a mobilization economy. The key characteristics of this model and examples of its application in history are considered. The structural changes in the Russian labor market in 2022–2023 in the context of the foreign companies mass withdrawal from various industries are described in detail. It is shown that young specialists in the IT sector, the entertainment industry, transport, and logistics found themselves in the most vulnerable position. New opportunities for young people in the fields of high-tech manufacturing, engineering, and military-industrial complex are analyzed. Young personnel show a high adaptability and learning ability. The role of the state in expanding the targeted training of necessary specialists is revealed. The article concludes that young people’s successful adaptation is crucial for the stability of the labor market and the economy of the Russian Federation. Also, in order to attract and adapt young specialists, companies need to develop digital adaptation tools to promote the development of a young specialists cognitive interest in a chosen specialty and the rapid development of modern working methods.
New approaches to enhancing the representativeness of accounting data on breeding achievements and evaluating their efficiency
Authors:   Ural State University of Economics, Popov Aleksey Yu.
Published: November 2024

In the pursuit of ensuring Russia’s food security, agricultural enterprises face the challenge of employing innovative methods to enhance crop yield and productivity. This task is addressed through the development and implementation of breeding achievements. To generate information on the effectiveness of implementation, accurate and comprehensive data on breeding achievements recognized as intangible assets in accounting are required. Accordingly, this article unveils innovations in the accounting and assessment of the efficiency of breeding achievements developed during R&D activities. Traditional and specialized scientific research methods were utilized in the preparation of this work, including a literature review, cost classification development, depreciation criteria specification, analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of breeding achievement efficiency assessment methodologies, modeling of efficiency indicators using an enhanced methodology, and summarization of obtained results. Among the most significant outcomes are the examination of criteria for recognizing R&D expenses as capital investments, improvement of cost classification included in the initial value of breeding achievement (development stage), expenses attributable to current research (research stage), and those not treated as capital investments. The study delves into subsequent assessments of breeding achievements, encompassing depreciation, modification, revaluation, and impairment. The article consolidates accounting practices and proposes the most applicable approach based on the current absence of an active market for breeding achievements in Russia. Criteria for impairment adapted from IFRS 36 were applied to breeding achievements. An overview of existing methodologies for evaluating the efficiency of breeding achievements is presented, highlighting their strengths and areas for improvement. The study proposes an enhanced methodology for evaluation, differentiating between overall and economic efficiency. Overall efficiency considers factors such as crop yield, productivity, product quality, nutritional value, disease resistance, adaptability to climate change, and ecological footprint absence. Economic efficiency involves calculating the net income increase resulting from the implementation of breeding achievements, considering economic factors. The novelty and advantage of the proposed methodology lie in its multi-aspect assessment of efficiency based on each enterprises criteria and the consideration of additional income from licensing agreements for breeding achievements. Further research directions include digitizing the impact of factors to neutralize negative aspects and support positive changes for sustainable growth in agricultural production and food security.
Immunofluorescent labelling of paraffin brain tissue sections v1
Authors: Victor Dieriks Birger , Murray Helen
Published: November 2024

This immunofluorescence protocol permits the labelling of multiple antibodies on one paraffin tissue section. This protocol details the potential variations that detect the protein of interest using fluorescently labelled secondary antibodies. Immunohistochemistry (IHC)combines anatomical, immunological and biochemical techniques to image discrete tissue components by using appropriately labelled antibodies to bind specifically to their target antigens in situ. IHC makes it possible to visualize and document the high-resolution distribution and localization of specific cellular components within cells and their proper histological context. There are multiple approaches and permutations in IHC methodology. Immunofluorescence permits labelling of multiple antibodies on one tissue section. For double or triple labelling, the primary antibodies must be raised in different species e.g. mouse, rabbit, chicken, guinea pig or goat. The corresponding secondary antibodies are conjugated to fluorophores with non-overlapping excitation/emission spectra (commonly used are fluorophores that excite at 488, 594 and 647nm). Antibodies from the same species but different Ig subtypes (e.g. mouse IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3, IgM) can be combined only if secondary antibodies that are highly specific to these subtypes are used. The specific excitation and emission wavelengths of different fluorophores permits labelling of multiple antibodies on one tissue section and visualisation of the labelling using widefield fluorescence or confocal microscopy. Hoechst or DAPI are commonly used nuclear counterstains for immunofluorescence. Amplified IHC methodsinclude fluorescent tyramide signal amplification (TSA, Figure 1e) and chromogenic 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine (DAB, Figure 1f) labelling. These methods detect the primary antibody using a secondary antibody conjugated to the horse-radish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme (Figure 2a). Alternatively, a biotin-conjugated secondary antibody can be applied, followed by a streptavidin conjugated HRP (Figure 2b). For chromogenic labelling, HRP converts the soluble substrate DAB into an insoluble brown product that can be visualised using brightfield microscopy. For fluorescence labelling, HRP converts an inactive tyramide-fluorophore complex into an active fluorescent complex that can be visualized using fluorescence microscopy. CounterstainsNissl is a common nuclear counterstain for chromogenic labelling. Hoechst or DAPI are common fluorescent dyes used to stain DNA for fluorescent counterstaining.

La aldea-heredamiento de Corchuela (siglos ¿XIII?-XVI).
Authors: Ramos Julián Clemente
Published: November 2024

The documentary, archaeological and cartographic information available has allowed us to study the development of Corchuela in detail. Corchuela arises during the process of repopulation of the land of Cáceres, probably between the end of the XIII and the middle of the XIV. It is configured as a small hamlet, with farmland and pastureland. The absence of a church denotes a small demographic entity. At the beginning of the 15th century, signs of destruction of the village model began to be documented (appropriations in the pastureland, disappearance of the local residence) along with the accumulation of properties by various lineages of the local oligarchy. The Golfines de Abajo acquired many lands and vineyards between 1484 and the first quarter of the sixteenth century. Since the late 15th century, Corchuela has been presented as an inheritance.

OGM taşra teşkilatı çalışanlarının çam balı üreticilerine yönelik değerlendirmelerinde orman içerisinde konaklama yapan üreticilerin yangına ilk müdahaleyi gerçekleştirebilecek donanımlara sahip olma şartı getirilmesi gerektiği ifade edilmiştir. Ayrıca üreticilerin basralı sahalarda yapılan tıraşlama kesimlerine karşı çıktıkları belirtilerek basralı sahalarda uygulanacak silvikültürel tedbirlerin arıcılara ve yöre halkına ayrıntılı bir şekilde anlatılması gerektiği vurgulanmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın sonunda, belirlenen üretici sorunlarının çözümüne ve basralı sahaların sürdürülebilir şekilde işletilmesine yönelik çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur.
LABIAL CONSONANTS IN THE SPEECH OF UKRAINIAN ARTISTS (on the audio declamation materials of Taras Shevchenko's poems)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Kasіanova Oleksandra
Published: November 2024

The issues of language and speech variability are currently studied within sociolinguistics and socially oriented disciplines such as interlinguistics, sociophonetics, social dialectology, experimental sociolinguistics, and so on. New approaches and the tendency to multidimensional study of speech phenomena deepened the interest in studying sound changes which demonstrate greater potential of speech rather than language as a socio-historical and abstract phenomenon does. The article characterizes the speech of Ukrainian artists who voiced Shevchenko's poems using the auditory analysis of the experimental phonetic method. The selection of informants for the study of the peculiarities of the realization of the labial phonemes of the Ukrainian language was carried out taking into account the sociophonetics methodology. The selected small social group as a source of research on the allophonic variation of labial phonemes is representative from the point of view – regional (all speakers from different regions of Ukraine), age (adults, youth and children) and professional (different specializations of artists – actors, musicians, directors, announcers, etc.) criteria. Oral literary Ukrainian speech of 17 people recorded in an acoustic signal (audio) became the material for studying labial consonants. The article described the course of experimental phonetic research, focusing on the method of studying sound as a phonation unit. The results obtained during the research are summarized. The performed analysis showed that the variability of labial consonants is a consequence not only of the pronunciation norm, at the level of the language system, but also of the speaker's own experience. Therefore, in the future, the study of the variability of phonetic units, including labial consonants, should be continued taking into account psychophysiological, social, and actually linguistic determinants with the involvement of the experimental phonetic method and sociolinguistic methods.
Evolución histórica de las ratificaciones judiciales en el ordenamiento constitucional peruano del siglo XX
Authors: Siles Abraham
Published: November 2024

Las ratificaciones judiciales periódicas, institución singular del constitucionalismo peruano, son examinadas en su evolución histórica, como medio necesario para una comprensión cabal de algunos de sus rasgos esenciales de hoy en día. El artículo presenta información y análisis normalmente desatendidos, como una forma de contribuir al debate académico. Muestra un camino de lenta progresión normativa hacia mayores garantías, usualmente burladas empero en la práctica. Revela también el cambio de un mecanismo de «expresión de confianza» al juez hacia uno de «evaluación constante» de su idoneidad. Ello permite el tránsito, más bien reciente, hacia evaluaciones más objetivas y técnicas. O, eventualmente, hacia una próxima absorción o reemplazo por la función disciplinaria judicial.
Las mujeres como nuevos sujetos de ciudadanía en la Segunda República. Cambios legislativos, nuevos valores, nuevas prácticas
Authors: Aguado Ana , Rodríguez Serrador Sofía
Published: November 2024

La Segunda República española (1931- 1936) comportó la transformación de las mujeres en nuevos sujetos de ciudadanía –fue, por primera vez, una “República de las ciudadanas”-, a partir de las reformas legislativas introducidas por el nuevo gobierno y por las Cortes Constituyentes. Reformas que conllevaron avances igualitarios, a pesar de las evidentes continuidades, contradicciones y límites en las relaciones de género y en las prácticas en la vida cotidiana. Planteamos en este texto un análisis y reflexiones sobre estos cambios en el contexto de la Segunda República española, así como en qué medida y con qué límites se tradujeron en nuevos valores y nuevas prácticas igualitarias.

Entre la nación católica y la Santa Sede. Una lectura católica del artículo 12 de la Constitución de 1812
Authors: Ramón Solans Francisco Javier
Published: November 2024

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las implicaciones del principio de protección recogido en el artículo 12 de la Constitución de 1812 en la reorientación política y religiosa del catolicismo decimonónico. La hipótesis de partida es que está vinculado con un proyecto reformista liberal del catolicismo y que la reacción contra este quedara desde un primer momento asociada a la defensa del papado. Para analizar esta cuestión, situaremos primero el artículo 12 en un contexto geográfico y temporal más amplio, para luego pasar a abordar la idea de protección en el marco del debate sobre la abolición de la Inquisición. En la última parte exploraremos la crisis de este modelo reformista liberal y el triunfo del ultramontanismo en la década de 1850.

El Bienio Reformista y la constitución económica de la II República (1931-1933)
Authors: Álvarez Alonso Clara
Published: November 2024

Aunque inadmitido para la Segunda República por considerar que pertenece a un modelo distinto y que el concepto es propio de las Constituciones de posguerra, existen elementos suficientes para utilizar con toda legitimidad el concepto de constitución económica durante, al menos, el Bienio Reformista. Aquí se intenta llevar a cabo un análisis de esos elementos y poner de manifiesto las razones de la oposición radical que suscitó tal constitución en ciertos sectores económicos y sociales que lograron impedir su implementación eficaz.

Política y catolicismo en el Perú decimonónico: entre el patronato estatal y el deseado concordato
Authors: Iberico Ruiz Rolando
Published: November 2024

El artículo estudia los cambios en las relaciones entre los poderes eclesiástico y civil desde la crisis de la independencia hasta el reconocimiento del patronato estatal por parte de la Santa Sede en 1875. La primera parte (1808-1854) analiza, a partir del debate político, el nacimiento, la consolidación y la crisis de la república católica en el Perú. La segunda parte (1855-1875) estudia el impacto en la configuración de los poderes religioso y civil de la revolución liberal de 1854, el álgido debate político y religioso de 1856 y 1860 y la concesión pontificia del derecho al patronato en 1875. El estudio concluye proponiendo que en el proceso se produjo una diferenciación entre las esferas religiosa y política que, a su vez, facilitó la institucionalización de la Iglesia peruana.

La mascarada pontificia. Entre la religión católica apostólica y romana y la construcción constitucional de México, 1810-1860
Authors: Fonseca Ramírez Cristina , Espinosa Aguirre Joaquín Edgardo
Published: November 2024

A lo largo de la primera mitad del siglo XIX el mundo occidental cambió profundamente, las grandes monarquías vieron menguar su poderío y surgieron nuevos reinos, especialmente en América. Producto de una guerra civil sumamente cruenta y de un proceso de consolidación nacional tirante, el virreinato de Nueva España se convirtió primero en el Imperio y luego en la República mexicana, la que ciertamente logró su emancipación política en 1821 pero no así con su Iglesia nacional. Inmersa en un contexto de tensiones entre Estado e Iglesia como el francés y el español, México luchó por mantener uno de sus elementos de cohesión social, que era la religión, en medio de una pugna permanente por arrancar el control administrativo de su culto a una nación que consideraban extranjera, para luego buscar atraérselo hacia el control estatal. Durante los años que abarca este estudio, en los proyectos constitucionales novohispano/mexicanos se observa la constante búsqueda de un Estado confesional por conquistar su independencia, lidiando al mismo tiempo con las tensiones que existían con la Santa Sede.

La Iglesia en el primer bienio de la II República. La implementación de las medidas religiosas en archidiócesis de Sevilla (1931-1933)
Authors: Navarro de la Fuente Santiago
Published: November 2024

El proyecto modernizador de la democracia republicana de 1931 tuvo en la cuestión religiosa una de sus más centrales dimensiones. Durante el primer bienio de la II República (1931-1933), se legisló con el propósito de modernizar España sustrayendo a la sociedad del papel tradicional de dominio de la Iglesia; despertándose una amplia movilización católica en sentido contrario. Más allá de la aspiración política a la reversión de las medidas adoptadas, la Iglesia hubo de adaptarse a su nueva situación legal. El estudio de esta adaptación motiva este trabajo, que aborda cómo respondieron los fieles y el clero sencillo a las iniciativas dirigidas a adaptar la vida de la Iglesia en España a la pérdida de tradicional acomodo en las estructuras del estado. La afectación de las medidas del primer bienio republicano a las parroquias y la actitud no sólo de los obispos, sino también del clero más sencillo y de los fieles católicos supuso un proceso más rico que la mera aspiración a la reversión de las medidas legales adoptadas. Se aborda en este artículo el caso de la archidiócesis de Sevilla, regida entonces por el cardenal Eustaquio Ilundain, único purpurado en España además del arzobispo de Tarragona, Vidal y Barraquer.

A Nova República e as discussões sobre segurança pública e nacional na Constituinte
Authors: Teixeira Leonardo Evaristo
Published: November 2024

Os debates sobre segurança pública e nacional na Constituinte brasileira de 1987-1988 evidenciam as permanências do período autoritário da ditadura empresarial-militar, mas também demonstra avanços na limitação do poder repressivo estatal e de seus mecanismos de controle. Com o objetivo de entender como se desenvolveu a discussão dos modelos de segurança na Constituinte, buscou-se neste artigo analisar estas discussões no âmbito da Subcomissão de Defesa do Estado, da Sociedade e de sua Segurança, e da Comissão da Organização Eleitoral, Partidária e Garantia das Instituições, sendo utilizado as contribuições da etnografia documental.
De las “quincenas” a la Ley de Vagos. La represión de la pequeña delincuencia contra la propiedad en el Madrid del primer tercio del siglo XX
Authors: De Miguel Salanova Santiago
Published: November 2024

Este artículo analiza el fenómeno de la delincuencia contra la propiedad y su tratamiento oficial en un marco cronológico y local específico: la ciudad de Madrid en el primer tercio del siglo XX. El primer objetivo de la investigación es el de comprender la manera en que la Ley de Vagos y Maleantes, creada en la Segunda República, fue tempranamente invocada como una herramienta jurídica propicia para frenar los problemas de seguridad personal que afloraron al compás de la transformación urbana y las brechas distintivas creadas por esta última en la capital española. En segundo término, se profundizará en la aplicación de dicha normativa sobre los individuos conectados con esa tipología de desviación social y en sus características generacionales, sociológicas y conductuales. Para el cumplimiento de este propósito, se partirá de la información cuantitativa y cualitativa aportada por los expedientes judiciales de peligrosidad.

Monismo y pluralismo jurídico en Chile: Una mirada histórico constitucional
Authors: Pérez Godoy Fernando
Published: November 2024

Motivado por el reciente debate constitucional en Chile, el presente artículo tiene dos objetivos. Primero, explicar cómo parte de la historiografía constitucional chilena fue lidiando con el antecedente del pluralismo jurídico consagrado en el derecho indiano. Segundo, el texto indaga en los sucesivos y conflictivos intentos de consolidación del monismo jurídico nacional durante el siglo XIX. Se concluye que más allá del formalismo jurídico, la limitación de las costumbres de pueblos indígenas como fuente del derecho patrio descansa culturalmente en la negación de cualquier pugna racial en la historia del derecho chileno.

Sistema de medição de desempenho habilitante: efeito na motivação, nas atitudes gerenciais e no desempenho gerencial
Authors: Cabral Jobson Ribeiro , Horz Vagner , Lunardi Micheli Aparecida
Published: November 2024

This study analyzes the effect of the enabling performance measurement system (PMS) on management motivation and attitudes and their impact on the managerial performance of middle managers in the largest and best Brazilian companies in 2020. Using structural equation modeling, results revealed that enabling PMS has a positive effect on managerial attitudes and motivation. Furthermore, managerial attitudes directly influence managerial performance, which in turn act as mediators between the enabling PMS and performance. These findings have practical implications by providing insights that lead to improvements in middle management and allowing organizations to evaluate their PMS practices and develop training plans to improve the performance.
Initial trajectory parameters in the presence of range-Doppler coupling error
Authors: Murzova M.A. , Farber V.E.
Published: November 2024

This paper focuses on obtaining our initial estimates for a Kalman filter. The Kalman filters are applied to estimate the motion parameters of objects detected by chirp radars. Chirp radars employ linear frequency modulated (LFM) waveforms for object tracking because the range-Doppler coupling allows better tracking accuracy in the range. The issues of initial trajectory parameters as a function of the range-Doppler coupling coefficient are discussed.

Technically significant conditions of the same characteristics of the radar and the objects and equal deviations of the LFM signals in modulus at the moments of probing are used to form several measurements of the detected trajectory. Under the above conditions, there are 4 methods of determining the signs of the range-Doppler coupling coefficients for three measurements. The initial parameters of the trajectory for the second-order filter based on the three measurements are compared with each other at the methods of determining the signs of the range-Doppler coupling coefficients.

The method l = 3 of determining the signs of the range-Doppler coupling coefficients (sign-variable the range-Doppler coupling coefficients) is advantageous because the normalized coordinates estimation variances take the smallest values compared to the other methods.
