A FALTA DE UNA ICONOGRAFIA DE AIME BERGERON
Authors: González Víctor Albis
Published: August 2024

En el proceso de recuperación del patrimonio matemático colombiano, una parte importante la constituye la memoria iconográfica, representada por retratos al óleo, daguerrotipos, etc. Entre los pocos actores de la historia de la matemáticva en Colombia que carecen hasta ahora de representación iconográfica, se encuentra Aimé Bergeron, matemático francés, quien fuera profesor del Colegio Militar de 1848 a 1856. A falta de esta representación transcribimos un pasaje de las Reminiscencias de Santafé y Bogotá de J. Ma. Cordovez Moure, donde aparece no sólo un vívido retrato físico sino además algunas facetas anecdóticas de la personalidad de este influyente profesor del Colegio Militar. Esta descripción inspiró al autor la caricatura conjetural que aparece en el escrito.
SOBRE LOS ALISIOS DEL NORDESTE Y LA EXISTENCIA DE UNA CORRIENTE EN EL PIEDEMONTE ORIENTAL ANDINO
Authors: Montoya G. Gerardo de J. , Pelkowski Joaquín , Eslava R. Jesús A.
Published: August 2024

Nuevas evidencias sobre el comportamiento de los vientos alisios, aportadas por la información del "Reanálisis", son discutidas en este trabajo. En particular, se muestra que los alisios del noreste ejercen una marcada influencia sobre la región norte de Sudamérica y hasta, aproximadamente, 5-10° S durante el invierno boreal. Además, se llama la atención sobre la existencia de una corriente detectada en ese conjunto de datos, la cual bordea el costado oriental de los Andes hasta 20-30º S durante esta misma época del año. La existencia de estos vientos y de tal corriente, aparentemente no mencionados hasta ahora en la literatura especializada, pueden ser explicadas teóricamente por la relación entre el viento y la presión en latitudes bajas. Además, la influencia de los alisios del noreste durante el invierno puede tener importantes consecuencias en el ciclo hidrológico de la Amazonia, en la conformación de su flora y su fauna, así como en el transporte de partículas de polvo, polen y otras sustancias desde la costa noroccidental africana hasta el costado nororiental de Sudamérica.
MINERAL DE MAGNESITA COLOMBIANA EN LA OBTENCION DE REFRACTARIOS DE ESPINELA
Authors: Pachón Marcela , Delgado Edgar , Pena Pilar , Segura Emigdio
Published: August 2024

Se evaluó el comportamiento de una magnesita colombiana en la obtención de un material de espinela, comparando propiedades físicas y composición de fases por DRX, con la obtenida a partir de óxido de magnesio puro. La espinela es útil en la formulación de refractarios básicos, utilizados en la industria del acero y cemento (Henry, 1997), como material abrasivo, como sustrato en circuitos eléctricos, como membranas cerámicas y actualmente en odontología (Pasquier, 1991). La espinela se produce por la reacción entre la magnesia y la alúmina a temperaturas superiores a 1100ºC. Con base en los diagramas de fase se diseñaron dos formulaciones. Los reactantes se llevaron a un tamaño de partícula menor a 10 mm, se conformaron y sinterizaron a 1650ºC. Se encontró que el exceso de magnesia y el contenido de sílice en la materia prima natural favorecieron la sinterización.

ECOLOGÍA DE LAS MACROALGAS DEL PLANO ARENOSO CONTIGUO AL TALUD DE LOS SISTEMAS CORALINOS CON ÉNFASIS EN EL CARIBE
Authors: Bula-Meyer Germán
Published: August 2024

Los fondos plano-arenosos con fragmentos y piedras calcáreas formadas por acreción de coralináceas incrustantes. contiguos al talud de los sistemas coralinos del Atlántico. presentan una vegetación rica en especies. La mayoría de estas algas son excluidas del talud y partes someras del arrecife coralino por los peces e invertebrados herbívoros. Las más dominantes y carentes de defensas químicas para contrarrestar la predación, han desarrollado evolutivamente una gran habilidad competitiva por el espacio primario y la adaptación a niveles bajos de luz. La competencia por el espacio no parece jugar un papel importante en la estructuración de estas comunidades y más bien ello obedece a la disturbancia creada por un factor físico estacional, condición que explica el mantenimiento de la alta diversidad.

A PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE SUBFAMILY ARISTOLOCHIOIDEAE (ARISTOLOCHIACEAE)
Authors: González Favio A. , W. Stevenson Dennis
Published: August 2024

A cladistic analysis of the subfamily Aristolochioideae (Aristolochiaceae) based on morphological characters is presented. The analysis includes 65 taxa within the ingroup, which represent all the tribes, subtribes, genera, and infrageneric taxa formally described within the subfamily Aristolochioideae sensu Schmidt. The analysis shows that Aristolochia s.l. is paraphyletic and that Euglypha and Holostylis are not different lineages from Aristolochia. Two of the three subgenera recognized within Aristolochia (Siphisia and Pararistolochia) are shown to be monophyletic. The third subgenus (Aristolochia) is paraphyletic. Most taxa at lower rank levels (sections, subsections, series, and subseries) are shown to be either polyphyletic or paraphyletic. The characters traditionally used for the recognition of these taxa are evaluated and new characters are introduced. Finally, a revised system of classification of the Aristolochioideae based on monophyletic groupings and consisting of two tribes, two subtribes, and five genera is proposed here.
EL SISTEMA RADICAL DEL MANGLE BLANCO (AVICENNIA GERMINANS), UN EJEMPLO DE ADAPTACIONES MORFOLÓGICAS Y ANATÓMICAS EN ESPERMATOFITOS A CONDICIONES ECOLÓGICAS ADVERSAS
Authors: Schnetter Marie-Luise
Published: August 2024

Avicennia germinans (L.) Stearn, un mangle neotropical, crece en suelos salinos y carentes de oxígeno. La arquitectura de su sistema radical hace posible que se formen raíces absorbentes en una posición que les permite crecer hacia sustratos (suelo o agua) con salinidades favorables. Neumatóforos y espacios intercelulares grandes en el interior de las raíces sirven para el suministro de oxígeno a las células. La formación del aerénquima reduce el número de células vivas consumidoras de oxígeno. La formación de capas celulares encorchadas que cubren a veces hasta los meristemas apicales impide la difusión de oxígeno del interior de las raíces hacia el sustrato. De esta manera, la absorción de iones se limita a las puntas de las raíces en crecimiento y a raíces muy finas sin crecimiento en grosor.

Este artigo tem como objetivo trazer à luz, por meio de um relato de experiência, algumas considerações acerca do papel de duas feiras de ciências organizadas no âmbito da rede de ensino do município de Duque de Caxias/RJ. Tais eventos envolveram o esforço de professores e estudantes, visando integrar trabalhos de pesquisa e extensão de pesquisadores que desenvolveram projetos nas escolas, a fim de ampliar e acolher a produção intelectual dos docentes, com vistas a uma formação mais completa dos estudantes. Buscou-se direcionar as feiras de ciências como uma forma de educação não formal e fundamental nas práticas cotidianas. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar o papel das feiras de ciências no desenvolvimento integral dos discentes, bem como a apropriação de conhecimentos por parte deles. Procurou-se analisar os dados encontrados com base em dois focos: 1) apropriação de conhecimentos e 2) habilidades e competências para a iniciação científica. O primeiro girou em torno dos papéis das feiras de ciências nas comunidades escolares, nas quais estudantes e professores lançam mão de suas experiências cotidianas em seus grupos sociais, por meio de expectativas e da criatividade. Já o segundo tratou da maneira como os conhecimentos sociais se integram às ações construídas. Percebe-se, por fim, que as feiras de ciências assumem papéis em relação às posições sociais existentes na sociedade.
Protecting Conifers from Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) with Insecticides in the Western United States1
Authors: Fettig Christopher J. , Grosman Donald M. , Munson A. Steven , Moan Jason E.
Published: August 2024

Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) cause extensive tree mortality in conifer forests in the western United States. One method to protect conifers from bark beetles involves applications of liquid formulations of insecticides to the tree bole using high-pressure (e.g., ≥2,241 kPa) ground-based sprayers. Several active ingredients and products are effective when properly applied in accordance with the label. Researchers recently have developed more portable methods that inject small quantities of systemic insecticides directly into trees. The purpose of this review is to synthesize information on the efficacy, residual activity, and environmental safety of insecticides commonly used to protect conifers from bark beetles in the western United States so that informed, judicious decisions can be made about the use of these insecticides. This review serves as an update to “Advances in insecticide tools and tactics for protecting conifers from bark beetle attack in the western United States” (Fettig et al. 2013a) and focuses, where applicable, on relevant literature published since 2012.

Authors: Murzabekov Ahmed , Salekh Karina , Serebryanyy Sergey , Dobrynin Ivan , Savinov Maksim , Tselikov Daniil , Klimentov Sergey , Sergeev Yuriy , Avanisyan Vazgen
Published: August 2024

The relevance. Dental implants are widely used in dentistry to restore the dentition. The primary stability of the implant plays a key role in the successful osseointegration and long-term functionality of the implant. The study of the effect of the microrelief of the implant surface on their primary stability of bone tissue is of great practical importance, as it can help determine the optimal characteristics of the implant surface to achieve the best results during its installation.
The aim is to evaluate the effect of the micro-roughness of the surface of dental implants on the torque and their primary stability.
Materials and methods. The study included the use of 223 dental implants with a diameter of 4.0 mm, a length of 10 mm with the same geometry. The studied samples corresponded to the geometry of the IRIS LIKO-M implant (LLC NPK Likostom, Russia). The implants were processed by 3 different methods and installed in polyurethane blocks imitating bone tissue of the second type D2. To determine the force (torque) during implant installation, a Venton M3 physiodispenser (China) was used; implant stability (ISQ) after installation was evaluated by a Penguin PFA device (Sweden). Statistical analysis of the data was carried out using the Kruskal–Wallis criterion and the posteriori Dunn criterion.
The results of the study. The study showed that groups 2 (acid etching), 3 (laser treatment), 4 (control sample) have a normal distribution of torque and ISQ values, while group 1 (plasma electrolytic oxidation) does not correspond to a normal distribution. The Kruskal–Wallis test revealed statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of torque and stability (ISQ). Dunn's a posteriori test showed statistically significant differences in torque between groups 1 and 4, 2 and 4, 3 and 4, as well as statistically significant differences in ISQ between groups 2 and 4, 3 and 4.
Conclusions. The surface characteristics of the implants do not have a statistically significant effect on the primary stability determined by the torque and ISQ indicators.
LEGAL ASPECTS OF CLINICAL APPROBATION IN DENTISTRY
Authors: Kupryahin Vyacheslav , Sergeev Vladimir
Published: August 2024

Relevance. Improving the legal aspects of the development of innovative technologies in dentistry is necessary to create favorable socio-economic conditions for their rapid implementation into practice. Clinical testing plays a key role in this process.
The goal of the work. To attract the attention of dentists to various areas of application of innovative technologies in dentistry and formulate proposals aimed at improving the legal mechanisms for their clinical testing.
Approaches used. The provisions of the Federal Law of November 21, 2011 No. 323-FZ “On the fundamentals of protecting the health of citizens in the Russian Federation” related to clinical testing are analyzed. A survey of 119 respondents was conducted – 69 dentists and 50 first-year students at the Institute of Dentistry of Samara State Medical University.
Results. Quantitative ratios of indicators of interest among dentists and students in various areas of innovative technologies in dentistry indicate a pronounced shift towards diagnosis and treatment with a low level of interest in rehabilitation. Current and future dentists unanimously believe that diagnostic and therapeutic innovations in dentistry require the greatest intellectual and material resources. According to dentists, it is possible to increase the effective activity of the ethical committee and expert council, which gives opinions on clinical testing, by creating appropriate bodies under the Ministries of Health of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (health authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation) and in state medical universities.
Conclusions. Dentists need to increase attention to the development and implementation of rehabilitation innovative technologies in dentistry, which, with minimal expenditure of intellectual and material resources of both dentists and citizens, can play a significant role in effective medical intervention for dental diseases and gums The creation of appropriate bodies under the Ministries of Health of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (health authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation) and in state medical universities can contribute to increasing the efficiency of the activities of the ethical committee and expert council, which give opinions on clinical testing. To improve the legal mechanisms for clinical testing in Part 2 of Art. 36.1 of Federal Law No. 323-FZ, the following addition should be made: “In agreement with the authorized federal executive body, ethical committees and expert councils can be created by the Ministries of Health of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (health authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation), state medical universities".

Published: August 2024

Background: Poor ovarian response and diminished ovarian reserves (DOR) significantly contribute to female infertility. Previous attempts have been made to enhance follicular growth and improve pregnancy outcomes in these participants.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the in vitro drug-free activation technique of the ovarian reservation and in vitro fertilization stimulation cycle outcomes in DOR participants.
Materials and Methods: This pilot phase study investigated the impact of in vitro activation (IVA) on ovarian reservation and in vitro fertilization outcome in 10 infertile women with DOR from May to December 2023 at Taleghani Infertility Center, Tehran, Iran. Participants underwent general surgery and laparoscopy, involving the removal of a portion of one ovary, immediate transfer to the laboratory, dissection into small cubes, and subsequent re-implantation into the cases’s ovary. The primary outcomes, include the count of retrieved oocytes, the number of oocytes reaching metaphase, and the secondary outcomes were the quantity and the number of embryos transferred, implantation rate, and occurrence of clinical pregnancy.
Results: The study revealed a significant increase in the antral follicle count before and after IVA (p = 0.033). Before IVA, the median estradiol level was 93.5 (57.0), which reduced to 79.0 (35.0) after IVA, indicating a statistically significant difference. On average, 2.3 (0.8) oocytes were retrieved, among which 1.5 (0.7) were metaphase II oocytes. The observed pregnancy rate among the 2 cases was 22.2%.
Conclusion: The current study suggests that IVA may positively impact follicular growth and pregnancy outcomes among women with DOR.

Authors: Shahmoradi Fatemeh , Haghighi Ladan , Noori Marziyeh , Derakhshan Roya , Hashemi Neda , Rokhgireh Samaneh
Published: August 2024

Background: The association between endometriosis and the outcome of pregnancy is one of the interesting topics. Endometriosis-related pain is alleviated with pregnancy; however, it is known to cause adverse outcomes in pregnancy. The main cause is systemic chronic inflammation caused by higher levels of cytokines, growth factors, and angiogenesis factors.
Objective: This study aimed to clarify the relationship between endometriosis, deep endometriosis, adenomyosis, surgical treatment, and poor maternal consequences.
Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, data from 250 women who gave birth in Hazrat Rasoul Akram hospital, Tehran, Iran from February 2015 to December 2019 was extracted from the hospital information system in January 2020. Participants were divided into 2 groups: 125 women with endometriosis and 125 women without endometriosis. We looked at how endometriosis affected mothers and newborn babies. Data on pregnancy, delivery, and newborns of both groups was extracted.
Results: The mean age of participants was 32.74 ± 4.10 and 31.7 ± 5.53 yr in endometriosis and control group, respectively. In terms of pregnancy complications, placenta previa, placenta accreta, placenta abruption, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, and postpartum hemorrhage remarkably increased in the endometriosis group compared to the control group. Small for gestational age was significantly higher in rectal endometriosis than women without rectal endometriosis (p = 0.03). The neonatal intensive care unit admission rate was notably higher in infants of the endometriosis group compared to controls (40.7% vs. 24.8%, p = 0.009).
Conclusion: Our findings showed women with endometriosis are at a higher risk for important adverse maternal outcomes.

Constitutional Regulation of Planning in Russia: History, Modernity, Prospects
Authors: Dubrovina Darya I. ,   Postgraduate Student of the Department of the Legal Framework of Administration of the Faculty of Public Administration of the Lomonosov
Published: August 2024

The article provides a historical overview of the evolution of state planning on the basis of domestic constitutional acts of the 20th century. The study identifies three key ways of capturing provisions on state planning in the Soviet period legislation: 1) ‘horizontal’ distribution of powers between state bodies and ‘vertical’ distribution of powers between levels of government; 2) establishment of state planning as the basis of national economic life and as a constitutional principle; 3) institutionalization of state planning as an independent object of constitutional regulation. Despite the absence of planning elements in the current RF Constitution, the Soviet experience may be relevant for improving the emerging system of strategic planning. Establishing planning mechanisms at the constitutional level will contribute to the stability and balance of the state development, to the adoption of effective, controllable and long-term decisions, to the protection of economic and social rights of citizens. The first of the mentioned ways seems to me most worthy of implementation, as far as it allows to distribute powers between state bodies and strengthen the role of the parliament in the planning processes, as well as provides for the opportunity to assign planning to the joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and the RF constituent entities and to the issues of local significance.

Authors: Solovyev Arseny S. ,   Junior Associate at Versus.Legal, LLC
Published: August 2024

The work is devoted to the study of the specifics of the place of the institution of disclosure of evidence in arbitration procedural law. It has been established that the disclosure of evidence is an independent auxiliary institution of the judicial evidence procedure that promotes justice. It is determined that the basis of the institute of evidence disclosure in the UK is its positioning as a stage of the trial. As a result of the conducted research, the author concludes that there is a direct causal relationship between the place of disclosure of evidence in domestic arbitration procedural law and the inefficiency of disclosure of evidence as an institution in the domestic legal order.
The State Sovereignty of Russia in the 21st Century: The Path Traveled and Vision of the Future
Authors: Leonenko Natalya T. ,   Associate Professor of the Department of Constitutional and Municipal Law of the Siberian Institute of Management
Published: August 2024

The relevance of the chosen problem is dictated by the vagueness of the concept of state sovereignty, the risk of its loss in the context of aggravation of international relations, the danger of terrorism, the threat of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the search for new forms of political and legal organization of world society. The factors influencing the transformation of state sovereignty are considered. The methodological basis of the study was historical, logical, comparative legal and systemic methods. Based on a generalization of doctrinal sources, the Constitution of Russia, the annual messages of the President of Russia, and his own worldview, the author concludes that the loss of state sovereignty poses an existential threat to the existence of a national state. It is possible to prevent the collapse of a sovereign state and really protect state sovereignty only by taking systemic measures aimed at ensuring national security.
The Principle of Inadmissibility of Abuse of Right in Tax Legal Relations
Authors: Psheunov Artur M. ,   Advisor of the Corporate Governance Division of the Radioelectronics Industry Department
Published: August 2024

The study examines the principle of inadmissibility of abuse of law in tax legal relations. It is argued that before the legalization of this principle, both in legal research and in judicial practice, there were different understandings of it, which, in some cases, contradicted the essence of public legal regulation of tax legal relations. The normative consolidation of the principle of inadmissibility of abuse of law in tax legal relations served as the basis for a uniform approach to its interpretation. It is substantiated that the principle of inadmissibility of abuse of law in tax legal relations has been transferred from civil law regulation. The debatable nature of this principle is noted, since the mechanism of private law regulation based on dispositive norms is different from public law regulation based on mandatory norms. It is substantiated that the principle of the presumption of good faith and due diligence of the taxpayer corresponds to the principle of inadmissibility of abuse of law in tax legal relations. It is determined that the substantive problem of the principle of inadmissibility of abuse of law in tax legal relations is the vague concepts of “good faith” and "bad faith” of the taxpayer, which form the basis of this principle.

The Mechanism of the Inter-Branch Interrelation Between Contractual Provisions under the Social Care Institution and General Contractual Provisions under Civil Law
Authors: Kazakova Marina V. ,   Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Law of the Northwestern Branch
Published: August 2024

In Russian science, the issues of intersectoral interaction of the norms on the contract of the Institute of Social Services of social security law and the norms on the contract of civil law are currently insufficiently comprehensively and deeply researched, which leads to practical problems. In order to increase the effectiveness of legal regulation of contractual relations arising within the framework of social services, as well as to bring uniformity of judicial practice and its stability, it is necessary to develop a mechanism for intersectoral interaction of contractual structures of the two branches of law.
The Pension Process: A New Turn in the Old Discussion
Authors: Voronin Yury V. ,   Head of the Center for Legal Support of Social and Economic Reforms of the Institute
Published: August 2024

The article examines the place and role in pension law, as a sub-branch of social security law, a sub-institution of the pension process, and also reveals its propaedeutics. This is preceded by a historical and legal analysis of the views and ideas about this legal subinstitution existing in the science of social security law. New foundations are revealed that were formed after the emergence and development of the previous scientific discourse, which determine the expediency of introducing the concept of ‘pension process’ into legal use as a generalizing, generic term. A modern definition of this term is given, and its constituent elements (actions), stages and terms are also revealed. The author understands the pension process as the procedure for citizens to exercise their right to a pension, carried out through procedural actions established by law, performed by subjects of pension legal relations in a certain sequence (stages of the pension process) and within certain time limits (procedural terms). The pension process in its structure is a set of certain legal procedures, which exemplifies the historical dispute about process and procedure. On the one hand, the process (in its semantic meaning) is broader than just a procedure (the process makes it possible to link several separate procedures into a single whole). A procedure is a separate, isolated, independent action, and a process is their interconnection, complex, system. A procedure is a specific procedural action or action within a broader legal process. That is, a procedure is a more technical concept than a process. On the other hand, the term ‘process’ allows us to reflect in the definition of the phenomenon under consideration the dynamics and sequence of such procedures in order to achieve a common goal — pension provision for a person.

Published: August 2024

A critical review of the experience of a number of countries in the legalization and decriminalization of narcotic substances is made, and arguments of supporters and opponents of this process are presented. The objective reasons for the lack of a unified point of view in the scientific community on the safety of prescribing cannabinoids for therapeutic purposes are presented, and the official point of view on the legalization of recreational drugs in Russia is also highlighted. Contradictory conclusions of Western experts on the conditional positive consequences of legalization and decriminalization of recreational psychoactive substances are noted, which casts doubt on the expediency of such decisions, their benefits for public health and improvement of social health of the society.

Authors: Tsokur Elena F. ,   Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Law
Published: August 2024

The adoption of the novel on joint wills of spouses causes discussions among researchers, the new institution requires systematic consideration and analysis, especially in terms of cancellation and amendment of the will. In the context of the establishment of the institution of joint wills of spouses, it is necessary to analyze some problems in terms of improving the current legislation. The main goal is to investigate the issues of cancellation and modifi cation of joint wills of spouses. The article concludes that the unmotivated cancellation of a joint will by a surviving spouse violates the principle of fairness and goes against the will of the testator, therefore it is necessary to provide for the possibility of changing or canceling the will only during the lifetime of the spouses in a notarized form.

The article examines the experience of using amateur organizations of convicts in the penitentiary institution, accumulated in domestic penitentiary practice, which can be used in modern conditions when organizing educational work in the field of penitentiary probation. Spiritual and moral education, physical and professional development of convicts, maintenance of law and order and discipline in penal institutions, organization of work, useful spending of free time are just some examples of the positive influence of amateur organizations in the penal institution. The purpose of the study was to identify and substantiate the organizational, legal, psychological and pedagogical aspects used by amateur organizations in the correction of convicts, which can be adapted in modern conditions of modern penitentiary probation. To achieve this goal, natural scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, statistical data obtained, including empirically, were used. Taking into account the process of organization and functioning of probation in the Russian Federation, the presence of legal innovations in the conditions of the formation of penitentiary probation, such forms of education of convicts as club and circle work are considered. The result of the study was a generalization of the domestic penitentiary experience of the activities of amateur organizations and institutions, which could be used in modern conditions of the development of criminal justice, reflected in departmental legal acts.

Implementación de la distintividad adquirida en Colombia
Authors: Angarita Mora Annabelle
Published: August 2024

La distintividad adquirida es una excepción a la normativa marcaria colombiana y permite el registro de signos que no se consideran distintivos intrínsecamente, pero han adquirido un segundo significado que les otorga la distintividad suficiente para ser registrados como marca. Es claro que es un mecanismo muy útil para quienes se han enfrentado al rechazo de su registro de marca y cuentan con la posibilidad de demostrar una trayectoria significativa, ventas importantes y un posicionamiento incuestionable, que se traducen en su conocimiento por parte de los consumidores dotándolas de distintividad.
Al igual que la declaratoria de notoriedad, esta figura puede verse justificada en el reconocimiento de los esfuerzos de las empresas y empresarios que han llevado a cabo acciones e inversiones significativas para posicionar sus marcas en el mercado, utilizándolas de forma significativa, continua y efectiva en un territorio, ya que, gracias a ese uso calificado, los consumidores necesariamente podrán distinguir los productos o servicios que amparan y asociarlos a un origen empresarial determinado. A continuación, se abordará el estudio de la distintividad adquirida y su implementación en Colombia.

A través de un estudio comparativo, esta investigación proporciona información sobre los beneficios y desafíos que surgen de la abolición del requisito de representación gráfica, destacando la importancia de adaptarse a las prácticas de marcas en evolución y de asegurar una protección efectiva para las formas innovadoras de marcas.
Libertad de expresión vs. derecho de autor. Análisis de ponderación de derechos en la Sentencia 1/2017 (México)
Authors: Mondragón Mariza de la Mora
Published: August 2024

La Sentencia 1/2017 resuelta por la Segunda Sala de la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación (SCJN) en México estudió la imposición de una medida cautelar ordenada por el Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial (IMPI) respecto del bloqueo total de una página de internet que ponía a disposición obras musicales sin autorización de sus autores y titulares de derechos para salvaguardar sus derechos en tanto se resolviera el procedimiento de solicitud de infracción en materia de comercio iniciada por la Sociedad de Autores y Compositores de México, S.G.C. (SACM) y otros; se debatían los derechos fundamentales de “libertad de expresión” frente a “la protección a los derechos de autor”. La sentencia determinó que prevalecía la libertad de expresión, entonces, mediante en el presente artículo se hace un análisis de dicha sentencia a la luz la argumentación jurídica como discurso racional de Robert Alexy, usando su fórmula de peso y variables para la ponderación de los derechos que se contraponen, determinando si la sentencia podría haber sido diferente considerando los factores del caso o si se confirma la determinación.
Evaluating Residents’ Attitudes Toward Tourism Development and Regional Collaboration within the Monongahela National Forest Region
Authors: Martin Morgan , Deng Jinyang , Arbogast Douglas , Pierskalla Chad , Smaldone David
Published: August 2024

This paper comparatively examines residents’ attitudes toward the tourism economy across eight rural counties at varying tourism development stages within the Monongahela National Forest region, West Virginia. Nine hypotheses related to attitudes toward sustainable tourism, perceptions of regional collaboration, and perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) are proposed and evaluated with the Social Exchange Theory (SET), Tourism Area Life Cycle model (TALC), and Doxey’s Irritation Index as the theoretical foundations. While the nine hypotheses are not consistently supported with mixed findings, it seems that residents from counties at higher levels of development stages are more likely to support tourism development because of its positive economic benefits to communities while disfavoring tourism development for its negative social impacts on communities; to value the importance and benefits of regional collaboration, and to score higher on their communities’ strengths in tourism development. Research implications, limitations, and future research needs are discussed.

Published: August 2024

This article focuses on a very narrowly specific segment of this issue, considering the impacts of HSR in the long term, not as transport arteries connecting the most important metropolitan areas but, on the contrary, as an internal factor of development within a metropolitan region. The paper aims to transfer the present operational European HSR commuting connection frequency experience to a generally applicable frequency estimation formula. Through a quantitative approach, the research analyses the total sample of 1,446 train connections from 10 European metropolitan regions. It answers the secondary research question of what the range of accessibility change between the metropolitan core and the intermediate city is after introducing HSR connection inside metropolitan regions in the time of 1 hour of journey. The estimation model formula calculates the optimal number of HSR connections between the metropolitan core and intermediate city in the HSR developing countries. It is derived and verified from the analysed dataset values. The potential operational change scenarios are presented and described based on the example of 34 metropolitan city pairs.
LOS TELÉFONOS MÓVILES EN LAS AULAS UNIVERSITARIAS:
Authors: Carrera Tamara Aller
Published: August 2024

Los teléfonos móviles han logrado establecerse como un componente esencial en la vida de los jóvenes, convirtiéndose en una herramienta multifacética utilizada en múltiples contextos como la comunicación, el entretenimiento y el educativo. No obstante, la integración de estos dispositivos tecnológicos en el entorno académico ha suscitado cuestionamientos acerca de sus potenciales consecuencias. La UNESCO ha señalado que la utilización inapropiada de los teléfonos móviles puede tener un impacto negativo en el rendimiento académico, puesto que limita la capacidad de atención del alumnado. El presente estudio de investigación, realizado en el Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (Portugal), pretende analizar las opiniones de los estudiantes universitarios en relación al uso de los teléfonos en contexto áulico. Los resultados muestran que, aunque estos dispositivos pueden facilitar el acceso a materiales educativos, también pueden representar una distracción que perjudica el compromiso del estudiante durante el aula. Por lo tanto, ante estos resultados se concluye la necesidad de establecer medidas reguladoras que mitiguen los posibles riesgos derivados de un uso inadecuado.
