Theoretical Review on Microplastic Pollution: A Multifaceted Threat to Marine Ecosystems, Human Health, and Environment
Authors: Saisanthosh Vamshi Harsha Madiraju , Abhiram Siva Prasad Pamula , Bhanu Prakash Darsi
Published: July 2024

Microplastic pollution in oceans poses a complex global threat to marine ecosystems and human health. These ubiquitous plastic particles originate from diverse sources and become widely dispersed by ocean currents, contaminating remote regions worldwide. In the aquatic environment, microplastics cause physical harm to aquatic species through ingestion. They disrupt habitats and act as vectors for toxic chemicals through bioaccumulation in aquatic species, enter food webs, and impair marine ecosystem functions. For humans, microplastic exposure via seafood consumption, drinking water, and inhalation raises concerns about potential inflammatory, cytotoxic, and endocrine-disrupting diseases that are linked to cancer, reproductive problems, and metabolic disorders. Mitigating this pervasive pollution requires a multi-pronged approach, including policy interventions that minimize plastic use, improve waste management, encourage technological innovations for biodegradable alternatives, provide public awareness campaigns, and improve coordinated efforts across plastic stakeholders. Comprehensive strategies combining research, regulations, and public engagement are crucial to protect marine life and human health from the detrimental impacts of microplastic contamination. This paper provides an overview of the origins and pathways of microplastics and assesses the impacts of microplastic pollution on human health and the environment. This study also highlights the methodology, knowledge gaps, and future directions to facilitate research on microplastic removal and risk assessment in the oceans.

Parenting during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Family Changes, Challenges and Resilience
Authors: Wendland Jaqueline , Chemounya Myriam , Pechinota Cassandra , Venicio Esper Marcos
Published: July 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic led to unprecedented measures and restrictions that disrupted families' lives, forcing them to reorganize their routines. This study investigated the parenting experiences in terms of changes and challenges, including positive effects and family resilience indicators. Unlike most studies which have limited their focus to the first period of lockdown or are based on questionnaires, this study covers the period from the first to the fifth wave of the pandemic in France (March 2020-November 2021) and relies on a large qualitative survey. 282 French parents living at home with at least one child under 18 years of age participated in the study. On an online platform, parents were asked to answer two open-ended questions. A thorough coding of the verbatim was carried out according to an empirical-inductive approach by two independent raters. The qualitative results were completed by quantitative analyses. Four major themes emerged from the responses to the first question (perceived improvement, perceived deterioration, no perceived change, and mixed feelings), and five challenges were identified for the second question (organizational challenges, family challenges, psychological challenges, health challenges, and no challenge). Parents reported more improvements in their parenting experience than deteriorations. Organizational challenges were mentioned more than twice as often as health challenges. Nearly a quarter of participants declared no perceived change in their lives as parents. It appears that French parents were able to tap into their resources without reducing their parenting abilities, and for many of them, this also resulted in improved parenting. After the severe lockdowns, the pandemic's progression revealed ongoing challenges and opportunities to strengthen family resilience. Despite initial relief, the pandemic left lasting impacts on family dynamics, with studies noting improvements in organization and reduced stress, but also ongoing difficulties in readjusting routines and concerns about children's well-being.
ASBABUN NUZUL SEBAGAI ASAS DALAM MEMAHAMI AYAT AL-QUR’AN
Authors: Manaf Abdul
Published: July 2024

The verses of the Qur'an, when examined in terms of their reasons for revelation, can be grouped into two categories. First, there are verses or surahs revealed without being associated with a specific reason. Second, there are verses or surahs revealed due to a background reason. Sometimes, these serve as responses to ongoing issues or answers to questions posed. The second category, though containing fewer verses, is extensively discussed in the field of Ulumul Qur'an. Understanding the asbabun nuzul (reasons for revelation) allows an individual to comprehend the substantial meaning of a verse – something that caused the revelation of a verse or several verses containing events or explaining their laws at the time of the occurrence of those events. On the contrary, one might misinterpret the messages of the Qur'an by neglecting the circumstances or situations that underlie them.
PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR’AN TENTANG TOLERANSI BERAGAMA
Authors: Suhartawan Budi , Renaldi Haris
Published: July 2024

The Al-Quran's perspective on religious tolerance is part of the attitude of bringing peace, ease, openness of heart, respecting differences without insulting each other and carried out consistently and sustainably. Both in essence and natural teachings, ingrained and rooted. The application of all of this is being able to build unity and oneness between the nation's children in building national and state harmony and obeying the religion they adhere to. The type of research used is library research, using reference sources in the form of books, tafsir books, journals, documents and so on. The Al-Qur'an perspective on religious tolerance is reflected in four categories; First, be smart in increasing religious understanding, second, do not risk your beliefs in the name of religious tolerance. Third, do not spread hate speech by insulting, making fun of, criticizing, or calling someone who is of a different religion, ethnicity or race with bad titles; and fourth, do not force other people to embrace the teachings of the religion they adhere to.

Authors: Najib Muhammad Naji Bulloh , Sarbini Muhammad Sarbini , Rahendra Rahendra Maya , Faris Muhammad Fadilah Alfarisi
Published: July 2024

Muhammad ibn Idrîs Al-Syâfi’î or popularity known as Imam Al-Syâfi’î is an absolute independent mujtahid who masters various sciences which are the tools of ijtihad which become the basis for a mujtahid in carrying out ijtihad and formulating his own principles of legal research, including the science of interpretation even though he is not popular as a scholar who has works of interpretation. Now a work of commentary appears which collects various interpretations and interpretation of Imam Al-Syâfi’î on some of the letters and verses of the Al-Qur’an excavated from his various works. Namely the book of Tafsîr Al-Imâm Al-Syâfi’î which was collected by Ahmad ibn Mushthafâ Al-Farrân, which was identified as the first academic work to study the interpretation of Imam Al-Syâfi’î as a whole based on the systematics of the letters of the Al-Qur’an; derived from the dissertation work in the doctoral program. This article uses a qualitative research method of literature study which is descriptive-qualitative in nature with data collection techniques using library sources and documentary literature studies using descriptive-interpretative data analysis techniques with content analysis. In addition to introducing the book Tafsîr Al-Imâm Al-Syâfi’î by Ahmad ibn Mushthafâ Al-Farrân, this article also attempts to examine the maudhû’î interpretation methodology of Imam Al-Syâfi’î and his interpretation.

Published: July 2024

Introduction : L'augmentation des arthroplasties de la hanche prévoit une hausse des fractures péri-prothétiques au Maroc, posant des défis pour les chirurgiens orthopédistes. Les stratégies thérapeutiques varient considérablement, mettant en évidence l'absence de protocole de traitement universellement reconnu.
Objectif : Analyser le profil et les conduites thérapeutiques de la gestion des fractures per prothétique de la hanche, tout en abordant les défis qui leur sont liés.
 
Méthode : Il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective, menée au sein du service traumato-orthopédie entre décembre 2015 à novembre 2022. On a inclus 19 patients qui se sont présentés à l’hôpital avec des fractures autour d’une prothèse de la hanche.
Résultat : dix-neuf fractures péri-prothétiques ont été observées. La majorité des patients (68%) étaient des femmes, l'âge moyen étant de 68 ans. La classification de Vancouver a montré que 52,6% des fractures étaient de type B1, et 21,1% de type C, tandis que les autres types de fractures se répartissaient différemment. Ces fractures ont été principalement associées à des diagnostics tels que la fracture du col fémoral (63,2%) et la coxarthrose (31,6%). Nous avons observé des variations dans les recommandations de traitement et les résultats entre les différentes séries analysées. Nous avons constaté des discordances avec certaines séries concernant les types de fractures et les choix thérapeutiques. Cependant, dans notre série, nous avons obtenu des résultats satisfaisants avec une consolidation réussie et l'absence de complications chez tous les patients.

Concordance between platelet counts by impedance and optical technique during microcytic anemia: towards a threshold value of the mean corpuscular volume
Authors: Ben Ayed Mayssa , Gharbi Bochra , Jaouachi Eya , Baccouche Hela , Mahjoub Sonia , Chakroun Aya
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Platelet count is crucial for clinical decision. In cases of microcytosis, platelet count based on impedance technique (PLT-I) may overestimate platelet count.
Aim: To compare PLT-I with platelet count using the optical technique (PLT-O) and establish a Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) threshold for considering PLT-O.
Methods: A prospective analytical study conducted over two months involved blood samples collected in standard K2 EDTA tubes for complete blood count analysis, revealing microcytosis (MCV<80 fL). PLT-O analysis in channel-Ret mode was performed using the Sysmex-XN1000 (Sysmex Corporation, Kobe, Japan).Percentage of fragmented red cells(FRC%) and percentage of microcytic red cells(Micro-R%) were recorded. Blood smears stained with May-Grünwald-Giemsa were examined for potential interfering particles.
Results: A strong correlation was observed between the two techniques for all platelet values as well as for PLT <150 x 109/L (correlation coefficient r = 0.971, 95% CI: [0.956-0.982]; P<10-3 and r = 0.90, 95% CI: [0.79-0.95]; P< 10-3). The Bland-Altman plot revealed a bias of 16.53 x 109/L between the two methods, with agreement limits between -55.8 and 88.8 x 109/L. A threshold MCV value indicating the use of the optical method, with a cut-off at 72.9fL, demonstrated promising performance consistent with litterature findings. However, less favorable performance was observed with Micro-R%.
Conclusion: Impedance could be employed in routine practice. However, for MCV<72.9 fL or in the presence of schizocytes, the hemogram validation procedure may incorporate the use of PLT-O.

Authors: Attia Hajer , Rejaibi Salsabil , Wechtati Ghada , Mrabet Ali , Borsali-Falfoul Nebiha , Chadli Aschraf
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Medical doctoral thesis publication is a way to ensure knowledge dissemination and to increase the scientific research visibility.
Aim: To determine thesis-related publication’s rate at the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis (FMT), and identify associated factors.
Methods: Cross-sectional retrospective study including medical theses registered at the FMT over the study period (2015-2017). All publications related to the defended thesis were collated by scanning Scopus and Google scholar databases, up to April 2022. Binary logistic regression was performed to assess associated factors to publication. Adjusted Odds Ratios (AOR) were presented with 95% confidence interval.
Results: Out of 878 defended theses, 11.8% (n=104) were published. Out of 130 publications in total, 90 (69.2%) interested Scopus-indexed journals with a mean Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) of 0.70. The publication was in English in 73.1% of cases. The median time between the thesis defense and the first scientific publication was 15 months. In multivariable analysis, associated factors to “at least one thesis-related publication” were the resident status of the candidate (AOR=2.35 [1.2-4.7]) and the grade assistant professor of the thesis supervisor (AOR=2.48 [1.1-5.6]).
Conclusion: Compared to the number of defended theses, the thesis-related publication’s rate at the FMT is relatively low. Thus, enhanced support for doctoral students to optimize their engagement in research and to consequently promote scientific publication is highly recommended.

Accompagnement interculturel et développement d’environnement inclusif dans les salles de classe
Authors: Chalmel Johann , Chalmel Loïc
Published: July 2024

L’inclusion dans une salle de classe ou de formation, c’est la construction d’un environnement au sein duquel chacun peut à la fois se sentir inclus et inclure l’autre. Partant de cette proposition, les auteurs proposent d’observer une méthode pédagogique d’accompagnement interculturel développée à l’Université de Haute-Alsace entre 2012 et 2022, avec ses invariants pédagogiques. Il semble en effet que cette méthode puisse donner certaines clés de lecture pour comprendre comment construire un environnement « capabilitant », où la coopération permet à chacun d’exploiter ses ressources et son potentiel tout en permettant aux autres de faire de même.
La formation des cadres scolaires face aux défis de l’École inclusive. Constats, préoccupations et actions projetées par des directions d’établissements en formation
Authors: Emery Roland , Pelgrims Greta
Published: July 2024

Il est communément admis que les directions d’établissements scolaires ont un rôle clé pour la mise en œuvre d’une École inclusive. La littérature issue de la recherche montre effectivement que les directions ont une influence prépondérante pour le développement d’une culture d’établissement inclusif, la promotion de pratiques inclusives et l’engagement vers une culture collaborative active. La formation des cadres scolaires se révèle dès lors particulièrement pertinente à questionner. Si la nécessité à former ces professionnels à développer un leadership inclusif semble une évidence, elle peut néanmoins occulter le fait qu’ils se trouvent confrontés, particulièrement lors de leur entrée en fonction, à bien d’autres défis à relever. Cette contribution, s’appuyant sur l’analyse de données recueillies lors de formations de directions d’établissement, se penche sur la nature des projets que les cadres conçoivent et réalisent dans une perspective inclusive. Elle questionne en premier lieu les constats et préoccupations qui les contraignent à la mise en place d’une nouvelle action pour s’ajuster au défi de l’École inclusive et, en second lieu, les types d’action qu’ils décident de mettre en place pour relever ce défi.

Masculinity and Femininity in Relation to Appearance Anxiety across University Men and Women in Lebanon
Authors:   , Kohar Balekdjian
Published: July 2024

Research has shown that cultural context has an influence on self-objectification. Masculinity and femininity are cultural constructs that were found to be related to self-objectification. Hence, the study aimed to investigate the relationship between gender role identity (masculinity-femininity) and self-objectification particularly appearance anxiety among the Lebanese university students. This was a quantitative survey study in which five hypotheses were tested using a convenience sample of 152 university students with a range age between 18 and 20 years old. Data were collected through the administration of two questionnaires, Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ) (1987), and the Appearance Anxiety Scale (AAS) (Dion, Dion, & Keelan, 1990). The results yielded a positive significant correlation between appearance anxiety and masculinity in males, and contrary to what expected, a significant positive correlation was obtained between masculinity and appearance anxiety in females too. With regard to femininity, both in males and females, no significant correlation was obtained between femininity and appearance anxiety. Limitations and clinical implications were discussed at the end of the study.
Clinical comparison and analysis of rapid and slow recovery in acute motor axonal neuropathy
Authors: Li Jie , Chen Dong
Published: July 2024

Objective: To compare and analyze the clinical and neurophysiological characteristics of rapidly and slowly recovering acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) patients. Methods: Clinical data of 50 AMAN patients treated at our hospital were collected. Patients with a Hughes score of ≥3 during the peak of the illness were included in the slow recovery group, and those with a score of <3 were included in the rapid recovery group. The clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of the two groups were retrospectively analyzed and compared. Results: A total of 27 patients were included in the slow recovery group, and 23 in the rapid recovery group. The slow recovery group had a Hughes score of 4-6 at the peak of the illness, older age at onset, more frequent preceding diarrhea, involvement of the bulbar muscles, complete limb paralysis, and respiratory muscle involvement requiring mechanical ventilation. The rapid recovery group had a Hughes score of 2-4 at the peak of the illness, younger age at onset, milder clinical symptoms, milder limb paralysis, and frequent limb numbness. Electromyography characteristics of AMAN: The sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) and sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV) were normal. The distal motor latency (DML) and motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV) of the median nerve, ulnar nerve, and tibial nerve were all within the normal range; the peroneal nerve DML was higher than the normal value (P<0.05), while MCV was lower than the normal value (P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude began to decrease within the first week, and the CMAP amplitude of the median nerve, ulnar nerve, and peroneal nerve, except for the tibial nerve, was lower in the slow recovery group than in the rapid recovery group (all P<0.05). The F-wave latency ratio of each motor nerve in AMAN patients was reduced, and the rate of unobtainable F-waves in the upper limb ulnar nerve and lower limb tibial nerve was higher in the slow recovery group than in the rapid recovery group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: AMAN is characterized by pure motor nerve involvement, normal sensory nerves, axonal damage to motor nerves, and associated conduction block. The lower the motor nerve CMAP amplitude and the higher the proportion of unobtainable F-waves, the slower the recovery and the poorer the prognosis.

Youth tend not to be interested in the agricultural sector. This study aimed to determine the perceptions that influence the interest of rural youth in the agricultural sector. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach and was conducted in Prambatan Village, Balen Sub-district, Bojonegoro Regency. The determination of informants was carried out using random sampling method and 70 youth in Prambatan Village were obtained as informants. Data analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The result was that there were three perceptions that significantly influence the interest of youth in Prambatan Village to do business in the agricultural sector, namely social perceptions (X2), psychology (X3), and convenience (X4). Meanwhile, economic perceptions (X1) and benefits (X5) had T statistics less than 1.96 and P values greater than 0.05. So for X1 and X5, Ho was accepted and H1 was rejected so that it was stated that it had no effect.
A Two-Stage Classification for Dealing with Unseen Clusters in the Testing Data
Authors: Lee Jung Wun , Harel Ofer
Published: July 2024

Classification is an important statistical tool that has increased its importance since the emergence of the data science revolution. However, a training data set that does not capture all underlying population subgroups (or clusters) will result in biased estimates or misclassification. In this paper, we introduce a statistical and computational solution to a possible bias in classification when implemented on estimated population clusters. An unseen-cluster problem denotes the case in which the training data does not contain all underlying clusters in the population. Such a scenario may occur due to various reasons, such as sampling errors, selection bias, or emerging and disappearing population clusters. Once an unseen-cluster problem occurs, a testing observation will be misclassified because a classification rule based on the sample cannot capture a cluster not observed in the training data (sample). To overcome such issues, we suggest a two-stage classification method to ameliorate the unseen-cluster problem in classification. We suggest a test to identify the unseen-cluster problem and demonstrate the performance of the two-stage tailored classifier using simulations and a public data example.
Visual Analytics for NASCAR Motorsports
Authors: Bastin Kornelia , Healey Christopher G.
Published: July 2024

The National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is ranked among the top ten most popular sports in the United States. NASCAR events are characterized by on-track racing punctuated by pit stops since cars must refuel, replace tires, and modify their setup throughout a race. A well-executed pit stop can allow drivers to gain multiple seconds on their opponents. Strategies around when to pit and what to perform during a pit stop are under constant evaluation. One currently unexplored area is publically available communication between each driver and their pit crew during the race. Due to the many hours of audio, manual analysis of even one driver’s communications is prohibitive. We propose a fully automated approach to analyze driver–pit crew communication. Our work was conducted in collaboration with NASCAR domain experts. Audio communication is converted to text and summarized using cluster-based Latent Dirichlet Analysis to provide an overview of a driver’s race performance. The transcript is then analyzed to extract important events related to pit stops and driving balance: understeer (pushing) or oversteer (over-rotating). Named entity recognition (NER) and relationship extraction provide context to each event. A combination of the race summary, events, and real-time race data provided by NASCAR are presented using Sankey visualizations. Statistical analysis and evaluation by our domain expert collaborators confirmed we can accurately identify important race events and driver interactions, presented in a novel way to provide useful, important, and efficient summaries and event highlights for race preparation and in-race decision-making.
Physician Effects in Critical Care: A Causal Inference Approach Through Propensity Weighting with Parametric and Super Learning Methods

Published: July 2024

Physician performance is critical to caring for patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), who are in life-threatening situations and require high level medical care and interventions. Evaluating physicians is crucial for ensuring a high standard of medical care and fostering continuous performance improvement. The non-randomized nature of ICU data often results in imbalance in patient covariates across physician groups, making direct comparisons of the patients’ survival probabilities for each physician misleading. In this article, we utilize the propensity weighting method to address confounding, achieve covariates balance, and assess physician effects. Due to possible model misspecification, we compare the performance of the propensity weighting methods using both parametric models and super learning methods. When the generalized propensity or the quality function is not correctly specified within the parametric propensity weighting framework, super learning-based propensity weighting methods yield more efficient estimators. We demonstrate that utilizing propensity weighting offers an effective way to assess physician performance, a topic of considerable interest to hospital administrators.

Assessing the Impact of Non-Performing Loans and Capital Adequacy on Bank Profitability for the Case of North Macedonia
Authors: Mustafa Edita ,   International Balkan University, Skopje, North Macedonia
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the influence of non-performing loans on the profitability of banks operating in the Republic of North Macedonia, providing insights into the specific dynamics of the banking sector. Non-Performing Loans (NPL) represent a critical concern for banking institutions worldwide, reflecting potential credit risk and weakening of financial stability. In the context of North Macedonia, where the banking sector has a significant function in driving economic growth and development, understanding the relationship between NPLs and profitability is of great importance. Also, taking into consideration the importance of the ratio of Capital to Risk Weighted Assets (CRWA), this study also investigates the relationship between Capital to RWA and bank profitability. By employing an autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) model, the study intends to uncover the trends and the relationship between variables, by also considering how past values affect the current values of the bank profitability. The results of the analysis disclose a highly significant negative influence of the NPLs on the bank profitability indicators, such as Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA). Thus, the findings reveal important insights for the policymakers and the banking industry in North Macedonia, aiding in the formulation of effective risk management strategies and regulatory policies aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of NPLs and capital needs on bank profitability. At the same time, the study is expected to contribute to the existing body of literature on the topic by offering empirical evidence specific for the Macedonian banking sector, thus filling the gap in the research landscape.
Análisis comparado de la carrera funcionaria: situación actual del personal no académico de universidades

El personal no académico en universidades ha sido relegado en el análisis relativo a la gestión de personas. Sin embargo, este estamento universitario tiene una relevancia vital en el funcionamiento de las entidades de educación superior. Mediante un análisis comparado, este estudio busca averiguar cómo se encuentran reguladas las principales dimensiones de la carrera funcionaria del personal no académico en distintas universidades. El análisis consideró una selección de 15 universidades, tanto chilenas como extranjeras, que cumplieran con los criterios del índice de democracia, tipo de gobernanza, de distintas regiones geográficas, con dependencia estatal y no estatal, de alto desempeño en sus países, con presencia de documentación y existencia de acto legal formal o equivalente de sus políticas. Los resultados evidencian que en las instituciones de educación superior no existe una uniformidad en torno a cómo regular la carrera funcionaria del personal no académico. Esto ocurre debido a que en las diferentes entidades se utilizan múltiples instrumentos para regular la carrera funcionaria y, asimismo, se abarca una cantidad dispar de subsistemas relativos a esta temática. Finalmente, independientemente de los mecanismos de regulación o sus objetivos, las universidades tienden a garantizar una cantidad mínima de subsistemas a través de diversos instrumentos para el desarrollo y bienestar del personal no académico.
La asimetría en las relaciones intergubernamentales: el caso del Estado de las autonomías en España
Authors: Tamboleo García Rubén
Published: July 2024

La Constitución Española de 1978 pretendió conectar con la Constitución de 1931 en cuanto a la distribución territorial del poder. El resultado de su ejecución fue uno de los países más descentralizados del mundo como Estado complejo, frente a estados compuestos plenamente federales. Cuando se aprobó el Título VIII de la Constitución Española de 1978 se alumbró un nuevo Estado de las Autonomías en España. En ese momento nadie pensó que podría llegar al desarrollo actual en cuanto a su complejidad, ni tampoco cómo sería. Este artículo examina las características de la evolución del sistema, como su configuración organizativa, el gasto de las administraciones públicas por unidades de gobierno, el número de empleados públicos por unidades de gobierno y su distribución, y los euros per cápita de las comunidades autónomas. Junto con los conceptos clásicos y revisados que atañen a esta materia, el trabajo busca dibujar el mapa de la asimetría de las relaciones intergubernamentales. Se puede observar como la implementación del nuevo modelo de gobierno y de administración autonómico genera nuevas dinámicas que lo conforman como un modelo único en el mundo, aunque comparte rasgos similares tanto con países puramente federales como con países que han establecido principios autonómicos como los españoles. Este tipo de estudio es muy importante para entender los modelos muy complejos de gobernanza multinivel y las intrincadas relaciones entre las diferentes unidades de gobierno y las administraciones que a menudo compiten entre sí y que especialmente desarrollan relaciones de interdependencia, como se puede ver en países como México, Bolivia, Argentina, Brasil y Venezuela, entre otros países no unitarios. Con el estudio de las dinámicas, se arriba a la comprobación científica de rasgos tales como la interdependencia y la asimetría que destaca problemas para la ciudadanía. Por ejemplo, por las dinámicas de influencia política, algunas unidades subnacionales -como en el caso de España- cobran mayor relevancia frente a otras, con la problemática de poder generar desigualdades en cuanto a la obtención de servicios públicos por parte de la ciudadanía.
El presupuesto participativo digital y la cuestión de la deliberación: el caso de “Decide Madrid”
Authors: Pineda Nebot Carmen , Goldfrank Benjamín
Published: July 2024

This article analyzes the emblematic case of digital participatory budgeting in Madrid, that took place between 2016 to 2019, known as “Decide Madrid”. The online platform “Consul” created by Madrid’s City Hall for Decide Madrid and other digital citizen participation mechanisms, was awarded by the United Nations and shared with dozens of cities around the world to implement their own digital participatory budgets. This document asks whether the apparent success of Decide Madrid has basis and particularly whether it served as a mechanism for citizen deliberation, this being one of the core values of the advocates of participatory democracy. The paper analyzes the number and content of digital comments on the 648 winning proposals in the last three years of Decide Madrid. Quantitative and qualitative analyses show that, despite its fame, Decide Madrid never served as a deliberation mechanism. Its few participants limited their activity to voting or, at best, leaving a comment on a web page. Deliberative discussions were minimal, even with the addition of some face-to-face spaces of participation. The analysis suggests that even in relatively wealthy countries, where the digital divide is weaker, digital mechanisms -at least on their own- are not yet sufficiently well designed to promote deliberation.
