Objective: to analyze the factors associated to the inconsistent condom use among sex workers. Method: a transversal study, carried out in prostitution area, using the Respondent Drive Sampling. The sample was calculated based on the information by the Sex Workers Association: 600 female sex workers. The study selected seven women with different characteristics regarding color, age, and place of work, who were called seeds. After the participation, they received three coupons to recruit other participants in order to obtain a representative sample. The definition of inconsistent condom use was determined as occasional use or never using it. Univariate analyses and a multivariate logistic regression were performed. Results: 416 female sex workers participated in the study. The associated factors were having studied for less than eight years (Odds Ratio = 27.28), not having a permanent partner (Odds Ratio = 2.79), high alcohol use (Odds Ratio = 5.07), and being black (Odds Ratio = 2.21). Conclusion: the factors associated to inconsistent condom use were: lower education levels, not having a permanent partner, high alcohol use, and being black.

Objective: to analyze predictors of inconsistent condom use among HIV-positive people with sexual immunodeficiency virus serodifferent sexual partnership. Method: cross-sectional, analytical study with a consecutive non-probabilistic sample consisting of people living with the human immunodeficiency virus with serodifferent sexual partnership and who were in outpatient clinical follow-up. Data were collected through individual interviews guided by a semi-structured questionnaire and subsequently analyzed with bivariate analysis and logistic regression. Results: Seven variables were independently associated with inconsistent condom use. Schooling less than 11 years of schooling (4.9 [2.4-10.1]), having multiple partnerships (5.0 [1.3-19.6]), using alcohol (2.1 [1.1 -4.4]) or other drugs (2.8 [1.2-6.3]), do not receive advice from a healthcare professional (2.0 [1.1-3.9]), have no knowledge of treatment as prevention (3.0 [1,2-6,9]) and not knowing that undetectable viral load reduces the risk of human immunodeficiency virus transmission (3.8 [1,1-13,7]) were predictors for inconsistent condom use. Conclusion: The study showed that psychosocial factors interfere with consistent condom use between serodifferent partnerships. Thus, it is highlighted that there is a need for comprehensive interventions that include the integration of clinical and psychosocial care.

Published: December 2019

Objective: to evaluate the potential contamination of enzymatic detergent from its reuse and to identify the microbiological profile in the solution used to clean gastrointestinal endoscopic devices. Method: cross-sectional study based on microbiological analysis of 76 aliquots of 19 different enzymatic detergent solutions used to clean endoscopic devices. The aliquots were homogenized, subjected to Millipore® 0.45 µm membrane filtration and the presumptive identification of microorganisms was performed by biochemical-physiological methods according to previously established specific bacterial groups that are of clinical and epidemiological relevance. Results: the mean values, as well as the standard deviation and the median, of the enzymatic detergent microbial load increased as the solution was reused. There was a significant difference between the means of after first use and after fifth reuse. A total of 97 microorganisms were identified, with predominance of the coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp. genus, and Escherichia coli species. Conclusion: the reuse of the enzymatic detergent solution is a risk to the safe processing of endoscopic devices, evidenced by its contamination with pathogenic potential microorganisms, since the enzymatic detergent has no bactericidal property and can contribute as an important source for outbreaks in patients under such procedures.

Published: December 2019

RESUMO: Objetivo: Descrever as prevalências do uso de serviços de saúde para controle da hipertensão arterial (HA) e do diabetes mellitus (DM) no município de São Paulo nos anos de 2003, 2008 e 2015 e analisar os fatores associados a esse uso no ano de 2015. Métodos: Foram analisados dados de população adulta provenientes dos inquéritos de saúde no município de São Paulo em 2003, 2008 e 2015. Foram estimadas as prevalências e seus intervalos de confiança de 95% nos 3 anos para descrever as prevalências do uso de serviços de saúde para controle da HA e do DM. Para 2015, foram estimadas as prevalências para as mesmas variáveis segundo características sociodemográficas, geográficas e de saúde. Utilizou-se regressão logística multinomial para estimar modelos de análise para HA e DM. Resultados: Observou-se aumento significativo no percentual de pessoas que referiram ir ao serviço de saúde de rotina por causa da HA e do DM no período 2003 a 2015. Em 2015, maior uso de serviços de saúde de rotina para controle da HA foi observado entre os idosos e as pessoas que referiram possuir plano de saúde. No caso do DM, houve associação entre o uso de serviços e baixa escolaridade. Ser idoso diminui o risco de não ir ao serviço de saúde para o controle da HA, enquanto ser do sexo masculino e não possuir plano de saúde aumentam esse risco significativamente. Conclusões: Identificar como os indivíduos com HA e DM utilizam os serviços de saúde para controle das doenças é de extrema relevância para reduzir barreiras no acesso e, ainda, orientar políticas de saúde no intuito de reduzir desigualdades.
Gender and science: An analysis of brazilian postgraduation
Authors: BARROS Suzane Carvalho da Vitória , MOURÃO Luciana
Published: December 2019

Abstract Gender issues are present in different work environments, including the academic world. This secondary data research aimed to compare, by gender, distribution and scientific output of Brazilian faculty who are active in stricto sensu postgraduation. A collection protocol was developed to capture data made available by the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, in the quadrennium 2013-2016 (n = 50.533, 57.5% men). The results indicate no difference in production by gender, but the following gender disparities in the researchers’ career were identified: (i) female prevalence in the areas of Health, Humanities and Linguistics and Arts, and male prevalence in the Exact and Earth Sciences, Engineering and Agrarian Sciences; (ii) gender differences in favor of men in the earning of research productivity scholarships. We conclude that a reduction in gender disparities in science is expected over time, although there is still a male predominance in the scientific field.

Authors: Segeren Leticia , Fernandes Fernanda Dreux Miranda
Published: December 2019

RESUMO Objetivo Buscou-se caracterizar e analisar os dados relacionados ao atendimento fonoaudiológico dirigido a crianças e adolescentes que realizaram avaliação e atendimento nos últimos 21 anos, em um serviço em que o atendimento clínico é sistematicamente associado à pesquisa e à formação profissional nos níveis de graduação e pós-graduação. Método Trata-se de uma pesquisa ex-post-facto, baseada na metodologia empírica exploratória longitudinal, com a utilização de prontuários para a coleta de dados. Resultados Somente 12% dos pacientes iniciaram o atendimento com 4 anos, ou antes desta idade; os que iniciaram o atendimento entre 4 e 9 anos representaram 74% e 14% iniciaram a terapia fonoaudiológica com mais de 10 anos de idade. Dentre os 340 pacientes analisados, 81 (24%) realizaram um ano ou menos de terapia. Conclusão Foi possível observar que a média da idade no momento de busca pelo serviço tem ocorrido tardiamente; o número de desistências/abandonos do atendimento fonoaudiológico foi de 36% da amostra e a idade em que a criança iniciou não esteve relacionada à maior adesão ao tratamento. Uma limitação a ser considerada neste estudo é que a idade dos indivíduos analisados correspondeu ao momento em que foram trazidos para a avaliação/terapia fonoaudiológica no LIF-DEA e não à idade em que foram diagnosticadas.

Authors: DAVRAS Özgür
Published: December 2019

Müşteri memnuniyeti işletmelerin finansal performanslarının belirleyicisi olması sebebiyle, kongre oteli ürün özelliklerinin müşteri memnuniyeti üzerindeki etkilerinin bilinmesi önem arz etmektedir. Alanyazında, ürün özelliklerinin performansı ile müşteri memnuniyeti arasında doğrusal bir ilişkinin olduğu kabul edilmesine rağmen, son yıllarda gerçekleştirilen bazı çalışmalar bu ilişkinin doğrusal yönlü olmayabileceğini ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışmada, kongre oteli ürün özelliklerinin müşteri memnuniyeti üzerindeki doğrusal olmayan etkileri incelenerek müşteri memnuniyetinin üç faktör teorisine göre ürün özelliklerinin sınıflandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Antalya Belek bölgesinde faaliyet göstermekte olan beş yıldızlı otel işletmesine toplantı ve kongre amacıyla gelen 427 kongre katılımcısı üzerinde bir anket çalışması uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilere gerçekleştirilen Ceza-Ödül karşıtlığı analizi sonuçlarına göre konaklama hizmetleri, oda temizliği ve otelin konumu heyecan faktörleri; çamaşırhane hizmetleri, yiyecek-içecek hizmetleri, ikramlar ve kongre organizasyonu temel faktörler olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Bu sonuca göre, temel faktörler içinde yer alan özelliklerin performansının artırılması müşteri memnuniyetsizliğini önlemeye katkı sağlarken, heyecan faktörleri içinde yer alan özelliklerin performansının arttırılması müşteri memnuniyetini olumlu yönde etkileyecektir.

Published: December 2019

Turizm sektöründeki son gelişmeler ve ev sahibi ülkeye gelen turist sayısının artması, yalnızca ev sahibi ülke ekonomisine katkıda bulunmakla kalmamakta, aynı zamanda çevre kirliliğine de neden olmaktadır. Ev sahibi ülkeye gelen turistlerin çevre kirliliği üzerindeki etkisi, son yıllarda araştırmacılar tarafından incelenmeye başlanmıştır. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada turist sayısı ve CO2 salımı arasındaki ilişkilerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kalıntılarla Genişletilmiş EKK-Engle ve Granger eşbütünleşme testi, 1980-2014 dönemi için yıllık veriler kullanılarak uygulanmıştır. Eş-bütünleşme testinin sonuçları, turist sayısı ve CO2 salımı arasında eş-bütünleşme ilişkisinin olduğunu göstermiştir. Öte yandan, hata düzeltme modeline dayanan nedensellik testi sonuçlarına göre, turist sayısı ve CO2 salımı arasında çift yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Bu ampirik bulguların önemi, turist sayısının CO2 salım miktarını artırması ve Türkiye'de çevre kirliliğine neden olmasıdır. Sonuçta çalışma, daha temiz bir çevrenin sürdürülebilir turizm uygulamalarını desteklediğini öne sürmektedir.

Anti-Neu5Gc Antibody Kit Protocol - Western Blot v3
Authors: Li Sam
Published: December 2019

The Anti-Neu5Gc Antibody Kit contains the essential monospecific polyclonal chicken IgY antibody, along with a negative control primary antibody to detect the presence of Neu5Gc on glycoconjugates by Western blot (WB). Samples to be evaluated are first subjected to SDS-PAGE, followed by transfer to a nitrocellulose or polyvinylidenedifluoride (PVDF) membrane. The membrane is then incubated with affinity-purified polyclonal anti-Neu5Gc to determine the presence of Neu5Gc on the protein of interest. The antibody provided in this kit has been shown to identify as little as 5pmol of Neu5Gc per µg glycoprotein, which is at or below the current detection limit for conventional analysis by acid release, purification, DMB derivatization, HPLC, and electrospray mass-spectrometry. The Western blot provides additional information in that it confirms that Neu5Gc is directly linked to the glycoprotein of interest rather than to an accompanying sample component.
Anti-Neu5Gc Antibody Kit Protocol - ELISA v4
Authors: Li Sam
Published: December 2019

This protocol is essentially the same as a standard ELISA protocol, with one major exception - all animal compounds must be avoided in buffers, etc. because they contain Neu5Gc, which will interfere with antibody activity and result in misleading data. Essentially, the glycoconjugate to be evaluated is immobilized on an ELISA plate and exposed to a primary antibody. The antibody provided in this kit has been shown to identify as little as 5pmol of Neu5Gc per microgram glycoprotein, which is at or below the current detection limit for conventional DMB HPLC analysis. An advantage of the ELISA procedure is that it confirms the presence of Neu5Gc on the glycoconjugate of interest, but use caution, as it also reacts with solution/media that contains glycoconjugate.
Contemporary mass media: a journalist’s responsibility
Authors: Shahovsky Viktor Ivanovich
Published: December 2019

The article views a circle of issues connected with the responsibility of contemporary work of media for the quality of information. The metalanguage actual for the new Russian media sphere is generalized. All types of up-to-date information resources are viewed and classified. The types and forms of their content variation are analysed. Special attention is paid to a new information phenomenon – infonoise – whose harmful nature is revealed. Among intended and unintended fluctuations of the language norm there is a process of constructing createmes as a means of communicative freedom, expressivisation and emotionalisation of the media discourse. The journalists are reminded of their responsibility for the quality of information presented to the public. A most significant definition of responsibility including all its necessary notional specifiers is introduced. The absence of these specifiers is illustrated in the information materials, which impedes adequate understanding of them by the mass media consumers and does not lead to the unified reflection. It is stated that the most important of these specifiers is the truthfulness of information. Special attention is paid to the ecological risks of the irresponsibility of some journalists in regard to their fishing, transmitting and broadcasting low-quality information. Emphasis is put on the fact that the practice of journalists represents a specific communicative sphere, which often disorients information consumers. This fact is mostly obvious in connection with incompliance of mass media in a common methodology of presenting information, which has resulted in destruction of the dialogue function of mass media: only the Internet still preserves this function. Highlighted is the role of the language in creating linguistic reality as opposed to the objective one.

Published: December 2019

The article describes the development of communication skills practice in Siberian Federal University, which took place in study course “Radio journalism” and students podcast radio group “Belka radio” in the social net VK.ru in 20013–2018 years.
This topic is important due to the fact that students should deal not only with modern technological media platforms. Journalistic is based on live oral communication with different people.
Live speech communication helps face with such difficulties as poor vocabulary, stylistic and speech errors, difficulties with producing long oral texts and speeches without long preparation.
So, perfect communication skills are in demand. Radio due to its nature features helps students develop communication competencies and to train in literate oral speech, using language correctly. Practical course in radio journalism helps make oral speech a bit more literate. Students are needed to include bright reflections and language figures in their speech; they are training in improvisation (monologs and dialogs without long preparation). All these practices let to overcome difficulties, that young people are faced nowadays, when hi-tech transform live communication in remote and on-line dialog.
Game neologization in the format of a creolized text
Authors: Zyganova Natalia Dmitrievna
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to atypical word formation: word contamination and illustrations in the format of creolized text. Creolized text is defined as a complex text formation in which verbal and non-verbal elements form a unified visual, structural, semantic and functional whole, designed to influence the addressee in a complex way. Graphic components in combination with verbal ones have a significant impact on the interpretation of the text. Examples of occasional neology, which are a combination of verbal and non-verbal representations that complement and explain each other, are given as the material under study. As a rule, a creolized text is referred to as one of the predominant forms of presenting information in the mass media, but this phenomenon has not yet been considered within the framework of neology. The way to create a neologism in the format of a creolized text is new, unexplored. It is interesting because the meaning of a word without an illustration is not clear. This is a new way of creating neologisms in the format of creolized text.
Word creation in Internet network and language ecology
Authors: Mirzoyeva Leila Yur’evna
Published: December 2019

The article is dedicated to holophrastic neologisms i.e. blended words constructed on the basis of word combinations. The author focuses on emotiveness of holophrastic structures in political texts represented in the Internet. A dynamic contradiction between the violation of a norm, taking place in new words formation (those new words are considered as occasionalisms of holophrastic type) and new ways of emotiveness representation has been studied from the viewpoint of language ecology. In course of research, more than 100 texts and microtexts were analyzed; at the same time, the ironic potential, language games and the possibility of self-expression of the subject turned out to be characteristic of political texts. As the main research technique, we used continuous sample of holophrastic set expressions; in addition, in order to obtain objective data, such services as Yandex and Google have been used. Holophrastic set expressions have been treated as a result of word formation and representation of such linguistic personality as native speaker of Russian.
“I” deixis as a means of manifestation of the speaker personality (based on the speech of the radio interview participants)
Authors: Lisova Olesya Olegovna
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to the consideration of the connection in the speech of a personal deixis with the facets of a linguistic personality, which are explicable to the speaker. Deixis is one of the important ego-markers and most clearly manifests itself in a dialogue situation, which determined the choice of radio interview as a research material. The interview involves three participants in the communicative act: the interviewer, the interviewee and the interview listener. The interviewer, despite his role as the organizer of the interview, manifests himself as a carrier of subjective assessment (explicit and implicit), and as a discursive personality, and as a professional. Depending on this, the speaker uses the pronoun “I” in speech in different meanings: from “I” as a formal element that organizes communication between interview participants to “I” as a marker of the speaker’s personality (biographical and mental). Similar meanings of the pronoun "I" are highlighted in the speech of the interviewee. In accordance with the function of the pronoun “I”, we propose the following general classification of the personal “I” deixis: “I” deixis of the organizer of the communicative act, which includes performative and discursive “I” deixis, and “I” deixis of the person of the speaker, consisting of the biographical and mental “I” deixis. It is proved that deictic, regardless of the function performed, contains an element of subjective assessment, that is, the speaker, even in the formal role of the organizer, always brings his point of view to the statement

Assessment of the physical development of children, which is an objective reflection of their state of health, is carried out regularly by pediatricians at preventive examinations, the frequency of which decreases with increasing age of the child. To date, the subject of discussion remains the question of which particular standards of physical development are preferable, drawn up taking into account the characteristics of a particular region or unified, developed by experts of the World Health Organization. The article presents the results of a study of the physical development of children of St. Petersburg aged 0 to 12 months. For the period 20162017 years. 2419 children were examined. Average values were calculated with standard deviations, centile indicators of length and body weight, all indicators are correlated with gender and age. The data obtained are compared with the standards of the World Health Organization. Higher rates of physical development of babies in St. Petersburg compared with the standard of the World Health Organization may be due to regional characteristics, as well as the transverse method of our study. Given that the World Health Organizations indicators are reference, it is necessary to use them in assessing the physical development of children, regardless of region of residence, which will make the results comparable.

Management of variability of the cardiac rhythm (VCR) is widely applied as a marker of psycho emotional state in educational institutions. This approach is suitable for testing properties of the pupils for the detection of vocal signals.

The aim of the study was a comparative analysis of VCR as an objective parameter corresponded with psycho-emotional tension and acoustic perception of the speech in youngsters under sophisticated condition of the competition between vocal signals pronounced by different individuals.

Methods. VCR was measured in 44 male and female youngsters 1316 years old with the comparison of identification of competing acoustic signals random sequences of words simultaneously pronounced by male or female voice. VCR analysis provided distinction the prevalence of sympathetic versus parasympathetic tone reflecting high or moderate level of psycho-emotional tension.

Results. Identification of target words pronounced by female voice in subjects with prevalence of sympathetic or parasympathetic tone was correct in 96% and 87% respectively. Target words pronounced by the male voice were correctly identified in 88% cases in both groups. It is suggested that in primary schools where women compose majority of teachers, the developing juvenile brain imprints the corresponding acoustic wave band. Under the conditions of psycho-emotional tension these links are realized with maximal effectiveness.

At the moment, the problem of preterm birth is one of the most urgent in the modern world. Preterm birth is of the greatest interest in obstetrics, as they can lead to various conditions that interfere with the further development and vital activity of the baby, which can lead to various disorders in the babys body systems, and in the worst case, can also lead to its death. Nowadays, there is no complete understanding of the mechanisms of development of preterm labor. The pathogenesis and pathophysiology of preterm birth are extremely complex, however, of course, many factors affect the development of this process, including the state of the microflora of the female genital tract. This article provides a review of current literature on the effects of bacterial vaginosis and significant infectious microorganisms (Prevotella sp., Mobiluncus sp., Gardnerella vaginalis, Mycoplasma hominis, etc.) on the development of preterm labor. This work presents a review of the current literature on the available data on the effect of various microorganisms of the female genital tract, as well as the significant cytokines, defensins, prostaglandins, and other biologically active substances secreted by them that are most likely involved in the process of preterm delivery. A probable mechanism for the development of preterm labor is presented under the influence of changes in the vaginal microflora and the predominance of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic flora with the participation of matrix metalloproteinases, phospholipases and ligands of Toll-like receptors.

Pejoratywne nazwy subiektów nazywające człowieka ze względu na czynności związane z działalnością aparatu artykulacyjnego w peryferyjnych gwarach białoruskich okolic Lewkowa Starego na Białostocczyźnie
Authors: Sajewicz Michał
Published: December 2019

W niniejszym opracowaniu przedmiotem opisu były dewerbalne pejoratywne nazwy subiektów z formantem sufiksalnym oznaczające człowieka ze względu na czynności związane z działaniem aparatu artykulacyjnego. Są one używane w peryferyjnych gwarach białoruskich okolic Lewkowa Starego na określenie głównie męskich wykonawców czynności. Mogą być także ambiwalentne co do rodzaju gramatycznego. W artykule poddano analizie około 270 derywatów utworzonych za pomocą 33 sufiksalnych formantów słowotwórczych. Analiza zgromadzonego materiału słowotwórczego pozwoliła na wyodrębnienie nie tylko odpowiednich typów słowotwórczych w obrębie badanej kategorii nazw, ale także licznych, często bardzo rozbudowanych szeregów synonimicznych w opisanych strukturach słowotwórczych.

Bayesian inference on reliability in a multicomponent stress-strength bathtub-shaped model based on record values
Authors: Pak Abbas , Khoolenjani Nayereh Bagheri , Rastogi Manoj Kumar
Published: December 2019

In the literature, there are a well-developed estimation techniques for the reliability assessment in multicomponent stress-strength models when the information about all the experimental units are available. However, in real applications, only observations that exceed (or fall below) the current value may be recorded. In this paper, assuming that the components of the system follow bathtub-shaped distribution, we investigate Bayesian estimation of the reliability of a multicomponent stress-strength system when the available data are reported in terms of record values. Considering squared error, linex and entropy loss functions, various Bayes estimates of the reliability are derived. Because there are not closed forms for the Bayes estimates, we will use Lindleyâ€™s method to calculate the approximate Bayes estimates. Further, for comparison purposes, the maximum likelihood estimate of the reliability parameter is obtained. Finally, simulation studies are conducted in order to evaluate the performances of the proposed procedures and analysis of real data sets is provided.
On zeroes in sign and signed rank tests
Authors: Dey Rajarshi , Manjourides Justin , Randles Ronald H
Published: December 2019

When zeroes (or ties within pairs) occur in data being analyzed with a sign test or a signed rank test, nonparametric methods textbooks and software consistently recommend that the zeroes be deleted and the data analyzed as though zeroes did not exist. This advice is not consistent with the objectives of the majority of applications. In most settings a better approach would be to view the tests as testing hypotheses about a population median. There are relatively simple p-values available that are consistent with this viewpoint of the tests. These methods produce tests with good properties for testing a different (often more appropriate) set of hypotheses than those addressed by tests that delete the zeroes.
A study of clinical outcome and patient quality of life in timing of free flap cover in type IIIB open fractures
Authors: Manakchand Kamal Kumar , Narayan Naveen , Chethan Shivannaiah
Published: December 2019

Background: Open fractures of leg classified under type IIIB, those requiring free flap cover could be done as emergency procedure. The ideal timing has still remained controversial. Although it appears imperative to operate early and reduce length of hospital stay, costs, disability adjusted life years and put the patient back on his feet, our study was necessitated in the context of differing views regarding ideal timing of free flap.Methods: The prospective observational study was conducted for duration of 4 years between October 2015 to September 2019. Patients were taken up for free flap cover after optimization for the major surgery. Details of flap complications and the procedures for salvage were noted. At the end of one year following the injury, patient quality of life (PQOL) was tabulated for all patients.Results: Most common mode of injury was road traffic accidents. Early flaps were done in 28 and primary flaps in 22 patients. One patient had partial flap necrosis while 7 others had sub flap collections and partial flap necrosis. Duration of hospitalization was significantly lower in early flap cover group. PQOL measured with EQ-5D (EuroQol 5D) was significantly higher in the early flap covers.Conclusions: From our study we concluded that timing of free flap cover positively influenced clinical outcome of reduced hospitalization, although there was no relation of timing of free flap to flap or bone complications. The functional outcome measured by PQOL was significantly higher in patients who had microvascular reconstruction early.
La capacidad jurídica de los discapacitados intelectuales y sus derechos como consumidores en Ecuador según la Convención de los derechos de las personas con discapacidad

Published: December 2019

La presente investigación analiza el ordenamiento jurídico ecuatoriano relacionado con los derechos como consumidores de las personas con discapacidad intelectual en concordancia con la Convención para los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad, para lo cual, se realiza una revisión bibliográfica de las leyes relacionadas, además un análisis de un caso real en el Ecuador y una comparación con el Derecho de otros países. Lo anterior ha permitido identificar que existen algunas falencias que atentan contra los derechos de las personas con discapacidad intelectual como la limitación de la concepción médica para definir la discapacidad, así como la nueva concepción de capacidad jurídica y la existencia de términos relacionados a los discapacitados intelectuales que son discriminatorios y peyorativos dentro del código civil lo que ha traído como consecuencia que diversos funcionarios públicos y operadores de justicia no tengan lineamientos claros respecto de la voluntad y autonomía de estas personas para poder representarse por sí mismas.
Desafíos fiscales originados por la globalización de la economía y los esquemas de planificación fiscal agresiva
Authors: Espinosa Taipe Danny Lenin , Hoyos Navas Katherine Estefanía
Published: December 2019

En los últimos años, la economía mundial se ha visto obligada a evolucionar por diferentes factores, tal como el génesis de la economía digital, el fortalecimiento de relaciones comerciales internacionales y la búsqueda perenne de los inversores de capital por obtener mayores rendimientos. Todo esto ha dinamizado los mercados internacionales, lo cual de una u otra forma produce efectos fiscales, y es aquí donde entra en juego la planificación tributaria, la cual no es más que un esquema estratégico derivado del estudio y análisis de las ventajas o beneficios fiscales que una persona podría gozar por realizar sus actividades comerciales tomando en cuenta su domicilio, el tipo de actividad que realice, el vehículo societario que utilice, la estructuración societaria que forme, entre otros factores.

 

Sin embargo, muchos han intentado obtener beneficios tributarios abusivos, mediante interpretaciones desmedidas de la Ley, lagunas normativas, tax rulings, evasión y elusión fiscal, además de tantos otros mecanismos. La aplicación de estos esquemas resulta en que los contribuyentes realicen escasa o nula tributación, lo cual afecta a las administraciones tributarias de forma global.

 

Por tanto, con el presente artículo pretendemos realizar un análisis sobre los principales desafíos originados por la planificación fiscal agresiva y casos en que contribuyentes han obtenido beneficios tributarios millonarios por la aplicación de este tipo de estrategias. Adicionalmente, se analizará qué medidas se están tomando mundialmente para combatir la planificación fiscal agresiva, para finalmente enfocarnos en la aplicación de estos preceptos en el plano ecuatoriano, acompañado de un breve estudio sobre la legislación interna que busca limitar el uso exagerado de beneficios tributarios.
Las conexiones secretas de Odebrecht en Ecuador
Authors: Arroyo María Belén
Published: December 2019

Odebrecht tejió en Ecuador un entramado de relaciones, pactos y arreglos con políticos, funcionarios y empresarios, que no fueron investigados por dos fiscales generales, quienes eran parte del gobierno de Rafael Correa. Ellos se limitaron a seguir el guion de las delaciones de los exejecutivos de la constructora brasileña. Los detalles de esas conexiones fueron publicados en una serie del portal Código Vidrio, finalista del concurso IPYS, que premió las mejores investigaciones periodísticas del continente en 2018. En este artículo se explica cómo fue ese proceso de investigación periodística y análisis de datos.

RESUMO – Com o objetivo de determinar o acúmulo de massa seca e macronutrientes ao longo do ciclo do sorgosacarino BRS 506, em diferentes níveis de adubação NPK, foram instalados experimentos por dois anos, em Latossolo,sob irrigação. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentosforam de quatro níveis tecnológicos, relacionados à adubação N-P2O5-K2O, em kg ha-1: muito baixo (NPK = 0-0-0);baixo (NPK = 80-50-80); médio (NPK = 160-100-160) e alto (NPK = 240-150-240). Avaliaram-se o acúmulo demassa seca e macronutrientes aos 30, 50, 70, 90 e 110 dias após plantio (DAP). No geral, foram ajustados modelospolinomiais de segundo grau. O acúmulo de massa seca e macronutrientes apresentou taxa inicial baixa, até cerca de30 DAP, e a partir daí aumentou consideravelmente, até próximo à maturação, para então se estabilizar e decrescer.No geral, o acúmulo de massa seca foi maior no nível tecnológico alto e o acúmulo de nutrientes não diferiu entre osníveis médio e alto, sendo menor para os níveis baixo e muito baixo. Recomendam-se 160-100-160 kg ha-1 de N-P2O5-K2O para produtividade satisfatória do sorgo sacarino e manutenção da fertilidade do solo, além de outras práticas quefavoreçam a ciclagem de nutrientes.Palavras-chave: Sorghum bicolor (L.)

The treatments comprised fourlevels of soil fertility, related to N-P2O5K2O fertilization, in kg ha-1: very low (NPK = 0-0-0); low (NPK = 80-50-80);medium (NPK = 160-100-160) and high (NPK = 240-150-240). Dry matter accumulation and macronutrients wereevaluated at 30, 50, 70, 90 and 110 days after planting (DAP). In general, polynomial models of the second degree wereadjusted. Dry matter and macronutrient accumulation presented a low initial rate, until 30 DAP, from there it increasedconsiderably until near the maturation, then stabilizing and decreasing. In general, dry mass accumulation was higherat high technological level and nutrient accumulation did not differ between medium and high levels, being lower forlow and very low levels. It is recommended to apply 160-100-160 kg ha-1 of N-P2O5-K2O for a satisfactory productivityof sorghum and maintenance of soil fertility, in addition to other practices favoring the nutrients cycling.Keywords: Sorghum bicolor (L.)
