Uwarunkowania prawne emisji cyfrowego pieniądza banku centralnego w świetle raportów banków centralnych europejskich państw stojących u progu jego wdrożenia
Authors: Karpiuk-Wawryszuk Natalia
Published: January 2024

Rozwój nowych technologii na świecie a wraz z nim postępujące przemiany społeczno-gospodarcze zmuszają do podjęcia debaty na temat sensu emisji CBDC. Wdrożenie cyfrowego pieniądza banku centralnego i przeznaczenie go do powszechnego użytku będzie ogromnym wyzwaniem technologicznym, organizacyjnym oraz legislacyjnym. Stąd też niektóre europejskie banki centralne dążąc do ustalenia optymalnych warunków niezakłóconego działania CBDC, podjęły się empirycznego badania otoczenia prawnego planowanej nowej cyfrowej waluty.
Administracja świadcząca w zakresie realizacji usług publicznego transportu zbiorowego przez organy gminy – wybrane zagadnienia
Authors: Mielczarek-Mikołajów Justyna
Published: January 2024

Zaspokajanie potrzeb lokalnego społeczeństwa z zakresu transportu publicznego należy do zadań własnych gminy i stanowi jedną z najważniejszych płaszczyzn jej działania. Jest to także sfera funkcjonowania administracji świadczącej, ujmowanej jako działalność polegająca na bezpośrednim zaspokajaniu potrzeb jednostek za pomocą dóbr zarówno materialnych, jak i niematerialnych. Zadania gminy jako organizatora publicznego transportu zbiorowego będą dotyczyć trzech obszarów: planowania rozwoju transportu, organizowania publicznego transportu zbiorowego oraz zarządzania publicznym transportem zbiorowym. Gmina może świadczyć takie usługi samodzielnie w formie samorządowego zakładu budżetowego lub zlecić ich wykonanie podmiotom prywatnym. Działania te mają na celu usprawnienie realizacji usług oraz zapewnienie dostępu do nich – w miarę możliwości – każdemu mieszkańcowi gminy.
Sentido Espiritual del Duelo
Authors: Acosta Díaz Emilio
Published: January 2024

Estar dispuestos para dar razón de la esperanza significa, ante todo, tener apertura al Espíritu que da la sabiduría, ilumina y ayuda a comprender la esperanza a la que hemos sido llamados. Esta esperanza requiere construir un horizonte que le hable a la razón y permita penetrar en la hondura de la experiencia de la fe, cuya luz ilumina lo que falta en los momentos de pérdida, para ser recuperado en la nueva construcción de sentido. Desde esta perspectiva, moverse en el ámbito de lo espiritual en búsqueda de esperanza significa aprender a elaborar las pérdidas y canalizar el dolor, el caos y el sufrimiento causados por la ausencia y el vacío. Se aprenderá a elaborar y superar la pérdida en la medida en que se cultive el arte de cruzar el umbral de la esperanza. Aquí se procura revisar parte de este camino, con el propósito de servir de apoyo al acompañamiento que pueda realizarse en el duelo.
Influencia de Conductas Disruptivas de Agresividad y Bajo Autocontrol en las Interacciones Sociales de Estudiantes de Bachillerato
Authors: Martos Astudillo Deisy Lorena
Published: January 2024

El presente artículo permite comprender la influencia de las conductas disruptivas de agresividad y bajo autocontrol en las interacciones sociales de estudiantes de grado sexto y séptimo de una institución educativa en Pasto, mediante la recopilación de información obtenida desde la aplicación de instrumentos como la entrevista  semiestructurada individual y el grupo focal. La metodología que se utilizó fue desde el enfoque cualitativo, método histórico hermenéutico de tipo fenomenológico. La unidad de trabajo correspondió a veinte estudiantes. 

Como resultado del análisis, se logró identificar que las conductas disruptivas de agresividad presentes en esta población surgieron de la adaptación al medio que rodea a cada estudiante, el cual se ve permeado por la familia y los compañeros de clase, reconociendo la presencia de una problemática de autoconcepto negativo y violencia de género que predomina principalmente de los hombres hacia las mujeres, propiciando una serie de afectaciones en sus interacciones sociales, esencialmente la ruptura de amistades y el rechazo hacia los compañeros que se comportan de manera agresiva.

Authors: Contreras Acevedo María Alejandra , Paz Pico Isabel Cristina , Gracia Díaz Álvaro José
Published: January 2024

La aptitud física y los Hábitos de Actividad Física [HAF] contribuyen a la Composición Corporal [CC], lo que a su vez permite la detección de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles. De ahí que el objetivo de la investigación en la que se basa este artículo, consistió en determinar la CC, el nivel de aptitud física y los Hábitos y Estilos de Vida Saludable [HEVS] en estudiantes universitarios de primer semestre de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales [U.D.C.A.], a través de un enfoque cuantitativo, con un diseño experimental y de corte transversal, que condujo a la revisión bibliográfica de diferentes bases de datos, encontrando 29 artículos funcionales. Así mismo, se analizaron todos los datos recopilados, con la ayuda del coeficiente de correlación lineal de Pearson. Como resultado, se destaca la generación de un impacto significativo en la población universitaria, promoviendo así un nuevo pensamiento acerca del autocuidado reflejado en su imagen, credibilidad y responsabilidad social al formarse como nuevos profesionales del área de la salud. En consecuencia, luego de explorar los HEVS, se reveló la necesidad de mejorar la aptitud física para lograr una CC que afronte, las enfermedades crónicas, detectándolas a tiempo para superarlas y alcanzar una condición de saluda óptima que mejore el rendimiento deportivo.
Assessment of stability of earth dams based on construction pace by fuzzy inference logic
Authors: Mohammadi Mehdi , Ershadi Mohammad Javad , Kamyab Hamideh
Published: January 2024

This study aims to evaluate the earth dam stability fuzzy model based on the pace of construction by way of influential parameters, including the dam construction time (embankment consolidation time) in the stability analysis of earth dams. A fuzzy inference system based on the Sugeno inference engine was developed, and 620 if-then rules in plane strain and axial symmetry (Plaxis) were used to train the fuzzy system. The input parameters included the dam height, crest width, dam slope, cohesion, friction angle, elasticity modulus, Poisson’s ratio, unsaturated unit weight, consolidation (construction) time and permeability coefficient, with the factor of safety output. To develop the fuzzy inference system, a triangular membership function was employed, calculating the influential parameters over five periods in Matrix laboratory (Matlab) software. The fuzzy model results were compared with the results of numerical Plaxis and fast Lagrangian analysis of continua models. High coefficients of determination (R2) suggest good agreement between the fuzzy and numerical models, and it can be assumed that the proposed fuzzy model is efficient and effective for the stability analysis, and hence assessment of factors of safety, of earth dams.
Sacrum as Putting Reality in Order – the Problem of Absolute Value
Authors: Kabzińska-Masionek Katarzyna
Published: January 2024

Contemporary axiological research shows that what is intuitive, perceptible, and at the same time fundamental, is not clearly visualized, concrete and expressible for language. The problem of the definition of value is further complicated when the matter concerns the top of the axiological ladder, absolute value, what is sacred. In the article, the author relies mainly on the achievements of eminent phenomenologists, theologians and religious studies scholars who had a decisive influence on the European understanding of the term sacrum (including R. Otto, M. Scheler, G. van der Leeuw, M. Eliade). It also refers to the achievements of Polish philosophers. The sacrum is presented as a factor ordering reality in an axiological and ontological sense. The very search for the highest value appears to be a matter of the utmost importance, a special task facing homo religiosus.
Ethics of civic virtues in Polish tradition and modernity
Authors: Wiśniewski Ryszard
Published: January 2024

The article is an attempt to indicate the presence of the ethics of civic virtues in Polish ethics, both old and modern, which is worth in-depth attention. Problems of civic morality have constantly accompanied ethics and morality in Poland since the Renaissance. Its content was usually a reflection of critical reflection on the defects of civic morality, especially of the nobility, and over time of the bourgeoisie, and at the same time it was normatively constructive as historical and political changes and the scope of civil society expanded, formulating “the ideal of the citizen in a democratic system”. The author of the article selects from the history of Polish ethics the most important figures who address the issue of virtue ethics, showing its constant presence in history, using the prism of civic ethos as a key element for the ethics of public life. It was difficult to prove the existence of a specialized section of civic ethics, but the normative civic ethos can be reconstructed from the perspective of the ethics of virtue and social ethics in a broader sense. From the historical perspective, this ethos appears both as a certain set of practices, which was only outlined in the context of the article, and as an ordered product of normative thought.
The COVID-19 pandemic from a philosophical perspective
Authors: Woźniczka Maciej
Published: January 2024

An analysis of the causes of the crisis in the biological functioning of the human species caused by the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic has been attempted in the text. Five groups of reasons for this crisis have been identified and discussed. The reasons formulated from the perspective of the philosophy of biology have been found fundamental. A reference to the ideas of evolutionism and ecophilosophy have been made here. This was followed by a second group of reasons, presenting the theses of evolutionary biology from the perspective of pandemic threats. Next, the reasons of the philosophy of life and existential reflection have been analysed, emphasising the validity of the naturalistic justification of the processes in question. In addition, arguments from the point of view of moral philosophy (the problem of man’s coexistence with nature) have been presented. In the last group of reasons, social philosophy and ideological reasons (e.g. the relationship between power and responsibility) have been indicated.

Published: January 2024

O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar a relação entre o tempo diário de exposição às telas e a habilidade de reconhecer expressões faciais emocionais. Um total de 60 crianças, com idades entre oito e onze anos, de ambos os sexos, participaram deste estudo, sendo divididas em dois grupos: o grupo controle, com até duas horas de exposição diária às telas, e o grupo de estudo, com mais de duas horas de exposição. Foram aplicados os seguintes questionários: sociodemográfico, rastreamento do desenvolvimento, teste de Acuidade (triagem), teste de reconhecimento de expressões faciais emocionais e o Diário do uso de mídias para monitorar o uso das telas. Os resultados revelaram que as variáveis alegria (40% e 55%), medo (70%) e tristeza (40%) mostraram associação entre as variáveis "tempo de tela" e "emoções faciais e suas intensidades". Isso indica que o grupo de estudo teve um desempenho significativamente inferior em identificar essas intensidades em comparação com o grupo controle. Os resultados obtidos ajudaram a compreender como a alta exposição ao tempo de tela pode interferir no reconhecimento das expressões emocionais de médias intensidades. Este estudo traz como contribuição a expansão de pesquisas a fim de que sejam apurados riscos e efeitos dos dispositivos eletrônicos associados ao desenvolvimento das emoções.
A precarização do trabalho e a desumanização psicossocial em produções cinematográficas
Authors: Bueno Luciano Domingues , Rocha Maria Laura Barros da , Oliveira Adélia Augusta Souto de
Published: January 2024

Neste artigo, questiona-se o futuro de uma ilusão de modernidade, estabelecida nos avanços tecnológicos e na dinâmica neoliberal de organização do trabalho, por meio da análise interpretativa de duas produções cinematográficas que expõem a dinâmica de exploração humana instrumentalizada pela defesa de uma modernização dos modos de (re)produção do trabalho. Consideram-se imagens provenientes de um futuro hipotético vindo do passado, retratados no filme Tempos modernos, em contraposição a um registro contemporâneo do trabalho precarizado no documentário Estou me guardando para quando o carnaval chegar. Objetiva-se evidenciar criticamente as transformações ocorridas no mundo do trabalho, os avanços tecnológicos e o ideal de modernização, bem como suas implicações para a dimensão psicossocial. Adota-se o percurso metodológico da análise de núcleos de significação, em articulação com a Psicologia Sócio-histórica. Os resultados indicam a organização da cidade como expressão da (re)ordenação psicossocial a partir dos modos de produção; o ritmo desumanizante das esteiras de operários e das máquinas de costura dos empreendedores; a precarização do trabalho na contemporaneidade que produz apagamentos (aparentes) nas tensões sociais decorrentes da organização social do trabalho, (re)produzindo uma internalização de coordenadas neoliberais como modos de organização do próprio psiquismo. Conclui-se que a (re)produção de modelos de precarização/desumanização psicossocial esvaziam e individualizam a dimensão ético-política do sofrimento decorrente dessa (des)organização do trabalho, subjetividade e saúde mental.
Atenção em saúde mental a gestantes em CAPS no Distrito Federal
Authors: Moreira Caroline da Silva , Fernandes Waleska Batista , Arrais Alessandra
Published: January 2024

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a assistência oferecida às gestantes em sofrimento psíquico e em uso de álcool e outras drogas na Rede de Atenção Psicossocial (RAPS) do Distrito Federal. A partir da realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais de saúde que atuam em dois Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (AD III e II Geral), constatou-se a ausência de uma linha de cuidado específica para atendimento de gestantes nos serviços em questão. Além disso, verificou-se uma preocupação em direcioná-las para outros serviços de saúde específicos ao acompanhamento materno-infantil, o que sugere uma visão reducionista frequentemente atribuída às mulheres em processo gestacional. Nesse sentido, conclui-se que é fundamental que as políticas e serviços de saúde contemplem a universalidade e o atendimento humanitário, atendendo às especificidades apresentadas em cada realidade social, além de promover uma articulação entre os serviços com intuito de fornecer um cuidado abrangente à saúde, levando em consideração a usuária gestante em sua integralidade, abrangendo todas as suas singularidades como mulher, para além do período de gestação. Portanto, está revisão tem como objetivo apresentar narrativas que abordam principalmente conceitos e teorias de Bell Hooks, Arrais (2014), Zanello (2018), entre outras. Serão incluídas também produções acadêmicas que discutam questões de gênero e maternidade, uso de substâncias psicoativas por mulheres, sofrimento psíquico e Reforma Psiquiátrica. Dessa forma, ressalta-se a relevância desse tema para a ampliação do conhecimento e o avanço das práticas de saúde voltadas a esse grupo específico.

Music streaming services and the drivers of customer purchase
Authors: Barata Mariana Lopes , Barata José Monteiro
Published: January 2024

Purpose- The music industry has undergone tremendous changes in relation to its production, distribution, and consumption habits due to the exponential development of new technologies, namely streaming platforms. This study aims to understand the factors that influence music consumption through streaming platforms, particularly analysing the differences between premium and freemium users on the intention to adopt premium (paid) versions of a music streaming service.
Methodology- UTAUT2 model (version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, applied to the consumer side) was used as framework. Based on data collected from 324 music streaming services users (premium and freemium), this study was tested using structural equation modelling (SEM).
Findings- Our findings, focused fundamentally on the initial period of pandemics (2020-2021), confirm that facilitating conditions, price value and performance expectancy play the most important role in influencing the intention to use a paid music streaming service for the premium sample. However, the freemium sample finds habit, price value and hedonic motivation the variables most relevant.
Conclusion- The research contributes insights into music streaming services consumer behaviour, providing several theoretical and practical implications to music streaming services providers.

Keywords: Adoption, customer purchase, music streaming services, SEM, UTAUT2

El cine de José Luis Guerín: En construcción (2001) y Unas fotos en la ciudad de Sylvia (2007)
Authors: España Rodríguez Jesús
Published: January 2024

The thinker Jacques Aumont confirms in Du visage au cinéma that a special treat-ment of the face has developed throughout the history of the cinema but refuses to admit the existence of a cinema portrait. The career of filmmaker José Luis Guerin calls into question such categorical statements. This work studies Guerin´s work, confronts it with that of Aumont´s and aims to establish a bridge between theory and practice that, in turn, brings cinema closer to a genre, portraiture, whose integration with other arts has never been questioned.
Arquitectura y arte españoles en la segunda mitad del siglo XX: transferencias y colaboraciones disciplinares
Authors: Flores Soto José Antonio
Published: January 2024

Spanish architecture experienced a revival of modernity in the 1950s and 1960s. The stripping away of the historicist and vernacular forms of the early Franco regime marked this revival; also, due to the disciplinary interaction with the plastic arts, which at that time moved towards abstraction as modernity. This paper traces the lines of transfers and collaborations between architecture, painting and sculpture in a complex moment of interdisciplinary relationship through an analytical reading of different works and events of the moment. It is about outlining an environment of collaboration and interaction between singular architects and artists, who learned from each other and proposed other ways of building the common ‘plastic space’ of the arts.
Antón Samón Pinós, platero barcelonés del último cuarto del siglo XVIII y primer tercio del XIX
Authors: Montalvo Martín Francisco Javier
Published: January 2024

This paper focuses on the study of one of Barcelona's most prestigious silversmiths, who used the symbol of a horseshoe as his personal mark. Among the twenty-two works that are preserved with his mark, many were wrongly attributed to other artists and ten of them are now made known for the first time. His long professional career of fifty-five years of activity enabled him to produce a wide range of works of both religious and domestic use, those of the 18th century in the Rococo style and those of the 19th century in the Neoclassical style.
Sueño, utopía y desencanto. Cayetano González Gómez y la reconstrucción de la custodia procesional de la catedral de Málaga
Authors: Sánchez López Juan Antonio
Published: January 2024

In 1957, the diocese of Malaga decided to rebuild the monstrance and processional litters of the Corpus Christi, which had disappeared in 1936. For this purpose, a commission was set up and called a national contest, awarding two famous workshops the exact reproduction of the pieces. Four splendid unpublished designs made for this purpose by Cayetano González Gómez, the greatest representative of 20th-century Sevillian silverware, born in Malaga, are preserved in the funds of the Diocesan Heritage Delegation. Although they were never materialized, their extraordinary intrinsic plastic quality makes it possible to understand them as an interesting creative reflection on the versatility of ornament and the speaking role of iconography, applied to a secular typology of such success in Spanish silverware.
Not One Step Back: Lessons Learned and Challenges in a Consolidate Agenda of Sexual and Reproductive Rights in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights
Authors: Ronconi Liliana
Published: January 2024

There have been advances in Latin America regarding the recognition of sexual and reproductive rights, especially in relation to disadvantaged groups such as women and LGBTI persons. In this sense, it is relevant to mention the recognition by the Inter-American System of the right to health as a true right. Nevertheless, there are still many challenges to be faced.
In this paper, I will review the progress and challenges of the Inter American Court of Human Right in sexual and reproductive health rights, looking to offer a panoramic overview from a global south perspective by analyzing specific cases. I will then highlight some achievements and setbacks in this area, focus on the impact of these cases in the region and criticize some of the Court's limited responses.
Law, Memory, and Silence: The Case of Anti-Communism Laws in Indonesia
Authors: Citrawan Harison , Putri Ganesh Cintika
Published: January 2024

This article investigates the role of Indonesia’s Anti-Communism laws in shaping and shifting collective memory of past atrocities into an imperative history. These laws are to be understood as a set of rules enacted by the state to proscribe the existence of communism by criminalizing speech of any kind that disseminates the idea of Marxism, Leninism, and Communism. Based on our analysis of several judicial decisions and empirical evidence related to the creation of collective memory, we contend that the problem of the anti-communism laws is twofold. First, these laws show a conflict between law and history because they enable judicial practices to transform the judges into the arbiters of history. Second, these laws—in addition to other institutions, mechanisms and ultimately embedded ideas/norms—have been enabling a process of social silencing that infringes freedom of expression as they have moved away from punishing acts to punishing speech, writing and certain ways of being.
On brittle fracture of a body with partial healed star-shaped crack

Published: January 2024

In this article, the express methodology for assessing the strength of a brittle material with a partially healed crack is used to model the renovation of a body with a star-shaped defect of a cyclically symmetrical structure. The rheology of the joint layer is not taken into account, but the specific surface energy in the healed area is generally different than in the solid body. Therefore, we have the problem of crack mechanics in a body that is homogeneous in terms of elastic properties and heterogeneous in terms of crack resistance. The degree of crack healing was described by two parameters: the ratio of the crack resistance of the joint and body materials and the ratio of the length of the healed area to the length of the initial crack. The subject of the analytical study was the efficiency of healing - the ratio of ultimate loads of brittle failure for a healed and primary crack. Two treatment options are considered in detail: near the peaks and near the center of the star defect.
A Comprehensive Review: Inflammatory Bowel Disease And Its Global Perspective
Authors: Hemraj Singh Rajput  , Piyushkumar Sadhu  , Niyati Shah  , Cyril Sajan  , Varunsingh Saggu  , Rajesh Hadia  , Falguni Rathod
Published: January 2024

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), represents a persistent gastrointestinal inflammatory condition. Initially labeled as a "Western disease," IBD was predominantly associated with Western lifestyles, but a shift in dietary and lifestyle patterns has led to a noticeable rise in Asian populations. The global prevalence of IBD reached 6.8 million cases in 2017, with a subsequent decrease to 4.9 million cases in 2019, showcasing a dynamic occurrence. The multifactorial pathogenesis involves genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, and an aberrant immune response to the gut microbiota. IBD is classified into CD, affecting any part of the gastrointestinal tract, and UC, limited to the colon and rectum. A third category, IBD-unspecified (IBD-U), is utilized when the inflammation's origin is unclear. Complications, including strictures, fistulas, and colorectal cancer, emphasize the disease's severity. Treatment options range from aminosalicylates to biologics, with emerging therapies and a focus on the mucosal antibacterial barrier offering potential advancements. Global healthcare organizations, recognizing IBD as a global ailment, aim to summarize epidemiological patterns to guide interventions. In study on global burden of disease 40 million cases were reported, prevalence of more than 1 percent of total global incidence has been seen worldwide, 41.00 thousand deaths, and 1622.50 thousand DALYs globally in 2019. While advancements have been made, further research is crucial to improve prevention and treatment strategies. The shift in the pathogenic focus towards mucosal antibacterial barriers presents a potential avenue for future developments, offering hope for enhanced outcomes and improved quality of life for individuals affected by IBD
Representações sociais da violência contra mulheres em práticas de cuidado dos profissionais da saúde
Authors: Richter Tamara Tomitan , Silva Tânia Maria Gomes da
Published: January 2024

Os profissionais da saúde se encontram na ponta de atenção dos cuidados às mulheres em situação de violência, podendo auxiliar no planejamento e implementação de políticas públicas mais eficazes. O objetivo do artigo é analisar as representações de profissionais de saúde acerca da violência contra mulheres, buscando identificar se preconceitos e estereótipos de gênero comprometem as ações de cuidado. O estudo é exploratório e qualitativo. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas envolvendo 15 profissionais da saúde que atuam em unidades de atendimento de urgência e emergência em um município de porte médio, no Sul do Brasil. As narrativas foram interpretadas à luz das teorias feministas e de gênero, utilizando-se a análise de conteúdo. Observou-se despreparo dos profissionais para lidar com o tema da violência de gênero, pouco conhecimento das legislações que protegem as mulheres e falhas na rede de comunicação entre os setores da saúde, assistência social e segurança pública, esvaziando a multidisciplinaridade exigida neste tipo de atendimento. Promover práticas no campo da prevenção e promoção da saúde, distanciando-se do modelo biomédico, centrado no ideário curativista e hospitalocêntrico, exige das políticas públicas e dos profissionais da saúde, ações que modifiquem as condições de vida de mulheres em situação de violência, aproximando-as das perspectivas de direitos humanos e justiça social.

Published: January 2024

The novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has a suppressive effect on innate immunity, which is a prerequisite for developing strategies to enhance this non-specific link as a preventive measure to protect against other respiratory infections during the ongoing circulation of mutating strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Despite the currently developed and available preventive measures, it has been noted that in persons who have undergone COVID-19, repeated episodes of both coronavirus infection and diseases caused by other pathogens have been recorded.
This review analyzes data from the biomedical literature and considers examples of health risks associated with continued infection with pathogens that cause respiratory tract pathologies. It also reflects the ways and approaches of possible preventive measures, the purpose of which is to prevent the development of pathologies of both the respiratory organs and other systems.

Authors: Voronkova Olga V. , Birulina Yulia G. , Esimova Irina Ye. , Khasanova Reseda R. , Ivanov Vladimir V. , Buiko Evgeny E. , Chernyshov Nikita A.
Published: January 2024

Aim: to evaluate the secretory activity of mononuclear blood leukocytes by the level of in vitro production of oppositional cytokines (pro-inflammatory IL-6 and anti-inflammatory IL-10) in rats in a model of diet-induced metabolic syndrome (MS) against the background of changes in the concentration of adipokines leptin and adiponectin.
Materials and methods. In male Wistar rats, MS was modeled by keeping for 12 weeks on a high-fat and high-carbohydrate diet; control group animals received a normal diet. Mononuclear leukocytes isolated by gradient centrifugation from heparinized blood were cultured in a medium based on RPMI-1640 (concentration of 2×106 cells in 1 ml of medium) for 24 hours in sterile tubes in a CO2-incubator in two variants – without the addition of an inducer and with the addition of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The concentration of cytokines in the culture fluid, hormones leptin and adiponectin in the blood serum was determined by enzyme immunoassay. Statistical data processing was carried out in the SPSS Statistics 23.
Results. In animals exposed to a 12-week high-fat and high-carbohydrate diet, against the background of an increase in body weight, the specific mass of visceral adipose tissue, metabolic disorders (hyperglycemia, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia), high concentrations of leptin and low concentrations of adiponectin, the ability of mononuclear blood leukocytes to produce IL-6 and IL-10 in vitro at the basal level and when stimulated by bacterial LPS does not change.
Conclusion. Probably, the morphofunctional status and secretory profile of monocyte-macrophage system cells depends on the severity and duration of the metabolic and hormonal imbalance associated with obesity and systemic chronic inflammation.

A purple butterfly symbolizes the heightened sensitivity to even a gentle touch in fibromyalgia (FM), which is a common syndrome with persistent widespread pain and tenderness. The biopsychosocial model is currently the main framework used to appreciate different factors contributing to chronic pain in FM. Widespread pain in fibromyalgia is effected by multiple biopsychosocial factors (cognitive ability, depression, somatization, psychological trauma, anxiety, and social deprivation/isolation), which interact and contribute to chronic persistent pain. Interaction of influences such as gender, neuroendocrine milieu, and the hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal axis also affect FM susceptibility and its clinical expression. Multiple neuroanatomic and neurochemical systems with many autonomic, cognitive & affective processes manifest as multisymptom illness in FM. While the etiology of FM is elusive, the associated symptoms indicate the role of autonomic dysfunction in its pathophysiology. Fatigue and widespread pain characterizing FM may be consequent to peripheral tissue ischemia caused by sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction. In light of some common denominators among FM patients, which include genetic variation, sympathetic hyper-activation, maladaptive thoughts, ineffective coping strategies, and nonrestorative sleep, an individualized care approach can help subgroup and phenotype these patients for specific diagnosis and management. A multidisciplinary approach involving person-centered approaches to biopsychosocial concepts in FM, incorporating relaxation therapy, physical activity, and psychotherapy targeting negative emotions that amplify pain, maladaptive coping strategies, and environmental stressors, can help manage FM's course, outcomes, and treatment.

The overlap of actions of nonpeptide small endocrine molecules—thyroid hormone and steroids—include two panels of actions. One set is initiated at the nuclear receptors for these hormones and a second set of actions for both hormones is initiated at the extracellular domain of plasma membrane integrin αvβ3. This brief review is concerned with integrin-based receptors on breast cancer cells. On such cells, thyroid hormone as L-thyroxine (T4) at physiological concentrations can stimulate proliferation of breast cancer cells via the thyroid hormone analogue receptor on αvβ3 and, in the absence of estrogen, via the nuclear estrogen receptor-α (ER α). Such observations emphasize the postmenopausal relevance of nuclear estrogen receptor. The deaminated T4 derivative, tetraiodothyroacetic acid (tetrac), blocks T4 actions at the integrin. An androgen receptor on the integrin mediates stimulation of breast cancer cell proliferation by dihydrotestosterone (DHT). T4 controls the activation state of the integrin, a factor that may determine the accessibility of the androgen receptor on αvβ3 to DHT and thus to DHT-driven cell proliferation. An estrogen receptor appears to be present on the integrin, but its functions have not been defined. It is not yet known whether tetrac alters function of the steroid receptors that are adjacent to the T4 binding site on αvβ3. The overlap of T4 and steroid functions in breast cancer cells may offer additional options for clinical management of this type of cancer.

The E. stipitata is a native fruit tree from the Amazon, currently in the domestication phase due to its high nutritional and economic potential. In this process, studies aiming at the technical feasibility of propagating materials with desirable agronomic qualities are necessary but still incipient. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate different grafting methods forE. stipitata propagation and the compatibility between scion and rootstock using anatomical analysis as a tool. For the experiment, a randomized block design was used in a split-plot scheme over time, with three replications. The plots consisted of three grafting types: cleft grafting, side-veneer grafting, and budding. The subplots were four evaluation times: 30, 60, 90, and 120 days after grafting (DAG). The evaluated variables were the grafting success rate, the number of shoots per graft, shoot length, and shoot diameter. There was a significant interaction between the factors under study. During the experimental period, an increasing grafting success rate and the number of shoots emitted were observed for budding, although with a low success rate. Through cleft grafting, there was a complete loss of shoots at 120 DAG, leading to the subsequent death of all tissues. Budding grafting appears as a promising method for E. stipitata propagation, demonstrating vascular tissue connection feasibility, although this effect did not reflect in the grafting success rate.
El marco conceptual para el estudio de la descarbonización desde las instituciones políticas de América Latina y el Caribe
Authors: Hernández G. José Ignacio
Published: January 2024

La transición energética, orientada a la descarbonización, debe venir acompañada de la transición de las instituciones políticas, diferenciando entre los Estados productores de petróleo y de minerales estratégicos. Estas instituciones políticas pueden clasificarse en cinco grupos: (i) la propiedad pública sobre los yacimientos, (ii) los mecanismos de captura del ingreso extractivo por el Estado por medio de regalías y otros títulos contractuales; (iii) los mecanismos de captura del ingreso extractivo por el Estado por medio de tributos; (iv) la ordenación y supervisión de los operadores a cargo de las actividades extractivas y (v) la gestión directa de las actividades extractivas por el Estado, por medio de empresas estatales extractivas.
Exodus to Public School: Parent Preferences for Public Schools in Peru

Due to an unprecedented rise in demand, in 2020 the Peruvian Ministry of Education implemented a centralized assignment mechanism that allowed thousands of students at various levels of education to move from the private to the public sector. In this paper, we empirically explore the determinants of accepting a public school assignment and, subsequently, remaining in the public system. Specifically, we exploit the randomness in the assignment of students to new public schools to causally estimate the influence of distance on the decision to accept a public school placement, and we explore its role in the decision to remain there. We also provide insights into various determinants of parental preferences. Our findings reveal that families care about distance from home to the assigned public school as well as the relative academic and peer quality with respect to their school of origin. Parents weigh these factors differently based on their familiarity with them. Consequently, experiencing a new school environment can alter the significance of specific attributes when it comes time to decide whether to stay at the assigned school. These findings offer valuable insights into how governments can strengthen the supply of public schooling.
Ho Chi Minh’s thought on political culture and problems for political culture Vietnam today
Authors: Mai Uoc Tran
Published: January 2024

O Presidente Ho Chi Minh é um grande revolucionário da nação vietnamita, mas antes de tudo, Ho Chi Minh é um grande homem cultural. Segundo Ho Chi Minh, a cultura está associada à moralidade, política, economia, sociedade e revolução. Fazer uma revolução para libertar as pessoas, transformar escravos em pessoas livres, isso é cultura. A cultura política de Ho Chi Minh reflete a relação entre os elementos holísticos do pensamento e comportamento político associados à vida e carreira política de Ho Chi Minh, que são expressos através da sua personalidade e comportamento político. legados políticos deixados por Ho Chi Minh na vida política real. Atualmente, para além das vantagens e da causa da construção e defesa nacional, o Vietname enfrenta muitas dificuldades e desafios. Ilustrar a cultura política e apontar os problemas que hoje se colocam à cultura política do Vietname é uma questão urgente. Da abordagem filosófica, à filosofia política, através da pesquisa e análise de documentos no volume completo de Ho Chi Minh; de pesquisadores anteriores e das diretrizes, políticas e leis do Governo do Vietnã relacionadas à cultura política, o artigo analisa e esclarece o conteúdo básico do pensamento de Ho Chi Minh sobre a cultura, política e problemas para a atual cultura política vietnamita.

A instituição de direitos à propriedade de outras pessoas (direitos de propriedade limitados) é familiar aos sistemas civilizados de muitos estados. Manifesta-se tanto nas codificações dos países da família do direito continental como nos estatutos e no direito precedente dos países de direito anglo-saxão. Um dos direitos mais populares nesta categoria (junto com superfícies e enfiteuse) é o uso limitado de bens imóveis de outras pessoas (servidão), penhor e usufruto. Ao analisar as fontes do direito privado romano (o Digest, as Institutas de Caio), o estudo examina o modelo clássico de usufruto e seu impacto no estabelecimento da legislação contemporânea sobre direitos de propriedade. Conclui-se que as principais características do usufruto, entre as quais estão o uso limitado por prazo determinado (vitalício) de bens móveis ou imóveis alheios, com possibilidade de seus benefícios naturais e civis serem extraídos por determinada pessoa responsável pela preservação da finalidade econômica do objeto, foram formados no direito romano clássico e posteriormente refletidos na legislação civil de países europeus, asiáticos, latino-americanos e outros.

Published: January 2024

Este trabajo presenta los resultados obtenidos luego de implementar un algoritmo de visión artificial desarrollado en Python para estimar la posición de un objeto por medio de información visual de una cámara estéreo. La estimación de la posición del objeto es utilizada por el controlador de un brazo robótico, para posicionarlo y sujetar el objeto; sin embargo, el brazo robótico no siempre llega de forma precisa al punto esperado,en consecuencia, se complementó este proceso con un algoritmo de corrección de la posición basado en el algoritmo de optimización Gradient Descent y el proceso de coordinación mano-ojo que hacen los seres humanos. Los valores de posición son enviados, mediante wifi, a través del protocolo TCP/IP y por medio de sockets, al controlador del brazo robótico. Los resultados experimentales obtenidos muestran que, a mayor resolución de la imagen de la cámara, mejor es la estimación de la posición del objeto y, en general, con el algoritmo de corrección implementado, la distancia entre la posición final del robot y la posición del objeto no supera  los 10 mm.
