Test smell refactoring revisited: What can internal quality attributes and developers’ experience tell us?
Authors: Damasceno Humberto , Bezerra Carla , Campos Denivan , Machado Ivan , Coutinho Emanuel
Published: December 2023

Test smells represent a set of poorly designed tests, which can harm test code maintainability. Although fundamental steps to understand test smells have been taken, there is still an evident lack of studies evaluating the impact of test smell refactoring from the perspective of internal quality attributes, such as size, cohesion, coupling, and complexity. In addition, the literature still lacks research that addresses the difficulties developers face during test smell refactoring. This article investigates the impact of test smell refactoring from a developer’s perspective, considering the internal quality attributes and the background experience. We investigated the perceptions and difficulties encountered by 20 developers while removing five types of test smells in four open-source projects over two months. Through this study, we analyzed: (i) the impact that test smell refactoring has on internal quality attributes; (ii) the developers’ perception of test smells as actual problems within software systems; (iii) the main difficulties developers face during test smell refactoring; (iv) the influence of developers’ experience on assertiveness and refactoring time of test smells, and (v) the effects of refactoring on the test smell density. Our findings can help developers design a prioritization scheme for test smell refactoring and make them aware of the real benefits of test smell refactoring.

Über Menschenbilder
Authors: Schuppert Gunnar Folke
Published: December 2023

Menschenbilder beeinflussen erwiesenermaßen unsere Wahrnehmungen, unser Denken und Handeln und sind deswegen für unser soziales Zusammenleben von kaum zu überschätzender Bedeutung. Das Buch fragt deshalb, welche Bilder wir uns – wie bei Vorurteilen gleichsam ungewollt – von anderen Menschen und auch von uns selbst machen. Diese Bilder können – wie im Extremfall Heldenbilder – positiv sein, überwiegend aber sollen sie DEN/DIE ANDEREN irgendwie abstempeln. Im Vordergrund steht die Verwendung von Menschenbildern als Argument in gesellschaftspolitischen Diskursen: Betrachtet man mit einem so geschärften Blick die gängigen politischen Debatten, sei es über Migranten oder Langzeitarbeitslose, SUV-Fahrer oder Andersdenkende, sieht man schnell, wie alltäglich der Umgang mit Menschenbildern ist – sei es zum Guten oder Schlechten.
Perspective Chapter: Pedagogical Approaches and Institutional Policy for Democratic Practices in Education
Authors: Gafer Abdel Hakem Marzouk Farouk
Published: December 2023

Democracy is interrelated to education which has a social function by which society members are always developed and shaped through participation in the mobility and ideology of that society. Since the democratic individual is the basis of society, one’s democratic formation cannot take place unless the educational process makes him/her a focus. In addition, democratic principles, values and society progress should be a goal of that process. Moreover, democratic behavior is based on interaction and participation in an atmosphere of freedom where equality, justice, acceptance of others, work through responsibility and teamwork, as well as social understanding. This democratic behavior plays an important role in the educational process and is considered as an indicator of the mental health of principals and teachers. It also has an impact on the behavior, attitudes and achievement of learners. The purpose of democratic behavior is to provide an educational atmosphere in which the desired educational goals are achieved, and to build effective humanistic relations among the educational community members, students and their parents, based on respect, trust, self-expression and a sense of tranquility. This chapter ended with presenting some of the factors helping to activate democratic practices in the educational institution, by stating the role played by each element of the educational system in the school.

Authors: J. Jader Mohammed , H. Jawad Wasan
Published: December 2023

Through the physical process of laser ablation, zinc sulfide (ZnS/rGO) nanoparticles were created. From there, it was possible to estimate the crystal structure and crystallite size of X-ray diffraction (XRD) particles (D = 8.35 nm). The visible ultraviolet absorption spectrum has also been used to study optical characteristics. The Neodymium-Yak laser (1064 nm) with the pulsed laser energy of 800 mJ and 600 pulse at a frequency of 6 Hz in room temperature was used to form the Graphen Oxide as a Nano composite after it had been prepared by the hummer method and combined with zinc sulfide. This resulted in the generation of plasma that contributed to the formation of Nanoparticles. To determine the components of the material, several measurements were done on it, including FTIR, SEM, XRD and EDAX for samples. In this chapter, ZnS/rGO nanoparticles were prepared by laser ablation method as well as by hydrothermal chemical method, and optical and structural examinations for both were found. Hence, the laser ablation method proved to be highly efficient compared to the chemical method in terms of knowing the Nano scale sizes and the different energy gaps, which helps in finding multiple future applications for them.

Authors: Maigari Mukhtar , Fu Changfeng , Deng Jie , Bahadori-Jahromi Ali
Published: December 2023

Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in school buildings has been concerned widely for many years, whilst research into the IEQ issues in higher education (HE) buildings has been overlooked to some extent. This chapter presents an experimental study of the IEQ issues in two typical HE buildings in London using the post-occupancy evaluation (POE) methods. Various aspects of the IEQ have been considered in terms of human comfort in buildings, including indoor air quality, noise level, lighting, occupants’ perception, and so on. IEQ data have been collected using various IEQ meters and data loggers, as well as questionnaire surveys taken by the respondents. The results of the study reveal important findings. In terms of thermal comfort, several spaces were found to exceed the recommended temperature limit of 25°C. The data on indoor air quality indicated that rooms, particularly those with natural ventilation, such as the architectural studio, significantly exceeded the recommended CO2 limit of 1500 ppm. Moreover, the survey feedback collected from the building occupants aligned with the IEQ data, particularly in the area of thermal comfort. The respondents’ feedback provided valuable insights into their experiences and perceptions of the indoor environment, further reinforcing the findings obtained from the objective IEQ measurements. The work also discusses recommendations and possible actions to improve the IEQ in HE buildings.
Biofortification of Millets: A Way to Ensure Nutritional Security
Authors: Anushree R.K. , Durgapal Shailja , Meenal  , Yadav Latika
Published: December 2023

Malnutrition poses significant socioeconomic challenges worldwide, with its most acute impact felt in developing and impoverished nations. This issue is exacerbated by the reliance on cereal-based diets, which often lack essential micronutrients, as the world’s population continues to grow. Millets and whole grains emerge as promising solutions to this dilemma. Although millets have historically served as a primary energy source in regions like Asia, Africa, and other semi-arid tropical areas, their nutritional value has been underrated. Beyond their carbohydrate content, millets are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, and crucial amino acids. Biofortification, the practice of enhancing the nutrient content of staple crops, offers a cost-effective approach to address micronutrient deficiencies. Initiatives like Harvest Plus in India have introduced biofortified millets to combat widespread deficiency disorders. The global distribution of biofortified millets is supported by non-governmental organisations, the business sector, and government regulatory bodies. This book chapter delves into these critical efforts, emphasising their role in ensuring nutritional security and effectively tackling malnutrition on a global scale.

Authors: Dwi Rohmansah Nandar , Zakka Alfarissy Nurrahman Muhammad , Rona Rona , Deden Deden , Dukat Dukat
Published: December 2023

Red Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is an annuals of the eggplant family (Solanaceae). This plant comes from the American continent, precisely in the Peruvian area, and extends to other areas on the continent. The average consumption of red chili per capita of Indonesian people is 500 grams/year, 118,800 tons per year. Chili production in Indonesia has increased from year to year, in 2021 chili production reached 2,747,108 tons. Fruit caterpillars (helicoverpa armigera) are pests that often attack important plants in Indonesia. This pest usually attacks young fruits by making holes and eating them. An effort that farmers often make to control this pest is to use insecticides. Insecticides are chemicals that function to eradicate annoying insects. Common active ingredients applied for fruit caterpillar control are Chlorpyrifos, Chlorantraniliprol, Cipermethrin, Deltamethrin. This research was conducted in Ambit Village, Waled District, Cirebon Regency, West Java Province. The implementation time lasts for 3 months (July to September 2023). The method used in this study was Randomized Group Design (RGD) consisting of 5 treatments of various insecticide active ingredients and control (without treatment) repeated 5 times so that there were 25 experimental plots with treatment A (Chlorpyrifos), B (Chlorantraniliprol), C (Cipermethrin), D (Deltamethrin), and E (Control). The concentration of insecticide used is 2 ml / liter. The experimental results showed that the treatment of insecticide active ingredients had a real influence on the intensity of fruit caterpillar pest attacks (Helicoverpa amigera) and on other pests such as whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). Insecticides have no real effect on the intensity of chili plant disease attacks such as anthracnose disease (Colletotrichum gleosporioides). The insecticide applied also does not cause phytotoxicity to the growth of chili plants. The active ingredients of insecticides Chlorpyrifos, Chlorantraniliprol and Sipermethrin gave better results when compared to Deltrametrin and control insecticides. Thehighest harvest result was obtained from the treatment of the insecticide Chlorantraniliprol, as much as 10.31 kg/plot, or equivalent to 10.31 tons/ hectare.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to analyze the reproductive performance (empty period) and production (peak time of milk production) of 87 dairy cows (Friesian Holstein) at X dairy farm Bogor using survival analysis. The analysis results based on the Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the median total idle time, primiparous cow, multiparous cow, cow that gave birth in the rainy and dry seasons were 210; 335; 231; 272; and 397 days. The median value of the total peak milk production, primiparous cow, multiparous cow, cow that give birth in the rainy and dry seasons is 41; 41; 39; 41; 41 days. The Cox Proportional Hazard regression results on idle time showed that the multiparous cow was 1.84 times more likely (P<0.05) to have a shorter idle period than the primiparous cow. Cows that gave birth during the rainy season had a 1.80 times shorter chance than cows that gave birth during the dry season, although they were not statistically significantly different (P=0.043). The regression results on peak milk production showed no difference between cows and primiparous cows. Meanwhile, cows that gave birth during the rainy season experienced peak lactation 1.26 times and tended to be faster than cows that gave birth during the dry season, although this was not statistically significant. The study's conclusions show that it was necessary to improve the management of reproduction and production of X dairy farm in Bogor.
Analysis of the Influence of Capital, Income and Liquidity on Banking Performance with Fintech as a Moderation
Authors: Lee Sanjaya
Published: December 2023

This research examines the effects of Capital, Interest Income, and Liquidity on Financial Performance of the Bank during period of 2012-2022, taking into consideration the moderating role that FinTech plays in the relationship. Capital, as assessed via CAR which is Capital Adequacy Ratio, exhibits conflicting impacts on banking performance. It has a significant negative influence on profitability (ROA) and asset quality (NPL), but it has a good impact on efficiency (BOPO). Capital effects on different things ROA, NPL, and BOPO, however, becomes statistically negligible when FinTech is used moderately. The ratio that represents net interest income, known as the net interest margin, contributes considerably to an increase in profitability (ROA), but at the expense of the asset quality and operational efficiency. If FinTech is managed properly, its influence on ROA will be reduced, while the consequences it has on NPL and BOPO will become less significant. The Return on Assets (ROA) and Efficiency (BOPO) are both favorably affected by Liquidity, as assessed by the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), while Asset Quality (NPL) is not significantly impacted. However, because of the moderation brought about by FinTech, the effect of liquidity on ROA, NPL, and BOPO becomes statistically irrelevant. Among our suggestions is the adoption of digital services for the purpose of boosting liquidity, the reduction of unproductive branch offices, the formation of collaborative partnerships with FinTech companies, and the improvement of regulatory control. This study reveals important insights into the rapidly changing world of banking and FinTech, which may influence strategies for achieving sustainable development
Comparative Study of Legal Responsibility of B3 Waste Producers in Medical B3 Waste Management Crowded in Hospitals Under the Law Indonesia and South Korean Law
Authors: Yurnalisdel Yurnalisdel , Rahmawan Dhany
Published: December 2023

This study uses a normative legal research type, while the nature of the research used in this writing is descriptive, analytical to analyze and describe the comparative legal responsibility of B3 waste producers in solid medical B3 waste management in hospitals in Indonesia and South Korea. The regulation of the legal responsibility of B3 waste producers in the management of solid medical B3 waste in hospitals in Indonesia is regulated in Law No. 32 of 2009 which states that everyone who produces B3 waste is obliged to manage the waste they produce, including in this case health service facilities that produce medical B3 waste. Medical B3 waste management activities include Reduction and sorting, Storage, Transportation, Processing, Burial and/or Landfill activities of B3 Waste. The management of solid medical B3 waste in hospitals in South Korea was regulated by the Medical Law under the Ministry of Health and Welfare until 1999. The Ministry of Environment announced several regulations for the definition, segregation, packaging, tracking, and final disposal of medical waste. Medical B3 waste management in Korea and Indonesia has similarities in legal, technical and operational aspects. This is one of them because Korea and Indonesia adhere to the same legal system, namely the continental European legal system (civil law).

Maria Sibylla Merian in Picture Books: Metanarratives about Science and Religion
Authors: Terceiro Danielle
Published: December 2023

This article considers three picture book biographies of the artist and scientist Maria Sibylla Merian, and the metanarratives on science and religion that are embedded in each. Merian is famous for her detailed drawings of the lifecycle of insects within their ecosystem and for rejecting the old theory of spontaneous generation, which still had currency in Europe. The picture books bring to the fore Merian’s scientific curiosity and her skills of observation that swept away old superstitions about insects. The metanarratives cued through the visual imagery of her picture books ignore the underpinnings of Merian’s Calvinist faith in her commitment to portraying the details of insect ecosystems. These metanarratives also ignore Merian’s emergence as an entrepreneur within Protestant society and her contributions to the commodification of “exotic” nature in a colonial context.

Больше 2500 лет назад один из величайших лекарей древности произнес очень важные и мудрые слова: «Пусть пища твоя станет лекарством твоим, а лекарство твое – пищей твоей». Особенность этой фразы не только в ее глубоком смысловом наполнении, но и в разнообразии трактовок. Все их можно найти на форумах, в подписях и обсуждениях. Одни твердят, что он имел ввиду необходимость употребления в пищу только самых полезных продуктов. Другие – умеренность в еде, без которой невозможно говорить о здоровье. А третьи уверены, что он настаивал на важности введения в свой рацион особых продуктов, обладающих противомикробным эффектом. Неких натуральных антибиотиков, многие из которых хоть и являются частыми гостями нашей кухни, но не всегда принимают активное участие в приготовлении основных блюд. Просто потому, что об их чудодейственной силе еще не знают.

Перепады настроения, повышенная утомляемость, отеки, болезненность молочных желез, угревая сыпь, головные боли или боли в области таза, а также жажда, повышение аппетита, изменение вкуса, подавленность и агрессия – вот далеко не полный список симптомов предменструального синдрома, или ПМС. По статистике, приведенной американскими социологами, ему подвержены около 40% женщин США. Между тем российские социологи утверждают, что с понятием ПМС так или иначе сталкивается почти 90% женщин в возрасте от 13 до 50 лет. При этом у 10% из них наблюдается особенно выраженная симптоматика. Но, удивительней всего то, что большинство из них никак не борется с этим состоянием, ошибочно считая его естественным. А ведь медики заявляют, что от многих симптомов ПМС можно легко избавиться, просто подкорректировав свой рацион питания.

Published: December 2023

This Community Learning and Empowerment Program (PPM) has the main objective of introducing and implementing the Homogeneity Psycho Cognition (HPC) strategy for teachers and students at Negeri Lama State Elementary School. Prospective partners who act as subjects in this activity are SD Negeri Negeri Lama, Teluk Ambon Baguala District, Ambon City. Partner problems are related to the lack of efforts to train and develop 21st century life skills, namely HOTS skills in learning. So far, Mitra has found it difficult to carry out evaluations related to aspects of character and emotional intelligence. In fact, these two aspects really determine the success of students. Learning is also still teacher centered. Most teachers are not yet familiar with various learning strategies, especially HPC, which have the potential to develop life skills for students. This activity is carried out in the form of assistance for teachers in understanding various learning strategies and thematic approaches in K-13. Other activities include assisting teachers in developing or implementing practical learning for students using HPC strategies, as well as developing 21st century life skills assessment instruments.

Prema tome, osnovno obilježje časopisa upitne kvalitete jestneselektivnost u procesu odabira rukopisa zbog nepostojanja recenzijskogpostupka. Od izuzetne je važnosti da takve časopise korisnici (znanstvenici,ali i šira javnost) znaju prepoznati. Cilj je rada istražiti pojavu časopisa i izdavačaupitne kvalitete kao anomaliju unutar izgrađivanoga modela znanstvenekomunikacije putem znanstvenih časopisa u hrvatskoj znanstvenoj zajednici.

Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) is thought to generate reactive oxygen species associated with a systemic inflammation and neurotrophins seem to be involved in cardiovascular inflammatory reactions. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of CPB on plasma neurotrophins levels and to appreciate the links existing between inflammation, oxidative stress and neurotrophins. Blood samples were taken from 27 patients undergoing cardiac surgery: before CPB, during ischemia and at reperfusion under CPB. Oxidative stress was evaluated using an Electron Spin Resonance technique by superoxide detection, and antioxidant defences by measurement of Endogenous Peroxidase Activity (EPA). The evolution of two neurotrophins: Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) was assessed with an ELISA method. An inflammatory index was determined by a multiplex flow cytometry method. The inflammatory index showed that MCP-1, P-selectin, t-PA and interleukins 6, 8 and 10 levels increased during CPB (p<0.05). Superoxide production and EPA were higher during ischemia and reperfusion than before CPB (p<0.05). BDNF plasma levels were higher at reperfusion (p<0.05). NGF levels did not change. Our study shows an increase of BDNF levels, associated with an inflammatory phenomenon and a redox modification, in the plasma of patients undergoing cardiac surgery under CPB. The role played by this neurotrophin in this complex situation still needs to be elucidated, in particular its cellular origin. It is also necessary to understand whether BDNF has a beneficial or deleterious effect during CPB.

Background: Initiating early HIV treatment results to sustained viral suppression, reduced viral reservoirs and prompt immune reconstitution that may lead to HIV seronegativity (seroreversion). Seroreversion can be misinterpreted, leading to inappropriate clinical considerations. We thus sought to determine the HIV seroreversion among antiretroviral therapy (ART)-experienced Cameroonians. Method: A laboratory-based cross-sectional study was conducted among ART-experienced individuals with undetectable plasma viral load (less than 40 copies/mL) in 2019 at the Chantal BIYA International Reference Centre in Yaounde-Cameroon. On all blood samples, HIV antibody testing was performed using two rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), followed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. On non-reactive samples, proviral DNA was tested on on dried blood spots (DBS) specimens. Results: Of the 546 participants on ART (median ART duration : 5 years) and all experiencing a successful ART (VL<40 copies/ml), only 01% (5/546) had shown HIV negative results. Of these five non-reactive cases, only one case (0.18%) was non-reactive to HIV RDTs but reactive to ELISA, and four cases (0.72%) were non-reactive to both RDTs and ELISA. These four samples were also negative for HIV proviral DNA, indicating potential absence of infection or an optimal control of viral replication. Conclusion: Seroreversion of HIV-1 infection is possible but may occur rarely among HIV-infected Cameroonians who are on successful ART. The few cases of HIV negativity on serology and DBS-PCR (proviral DNA) underscores the need for deeper HIV proviral DNA testing (on PBMC) to guide either continuous ART, detect possible functional cure, or events of HIV misdiagnosis in an era of declining prevalence.

A Poly-traumatized patient is someone who presents injuries in two or more organs or systems of the body.   Objective: to determine the characteristics of a polytraumatized patient due to a motorcycle accident in the orthopedics area of the HTMC in the second half of the year 2022.   Methods: Descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional, retrospective. Sample of 189 patients that was obtained using the Epi Info sample calculator, the data was obtained through medical records. Results: the place where the lesions mainly occur is in the pelvic extremities with 39.2%, according to Glasgow scale, the majority show a mild deterioration level of consciousness, 77.8%.  On the other hand, according to the Gustillo scale, 63.5% of the wounds are type II. Conclusions: 79.9% of motorcycle accident patients are mostly male and are of productive age, which causes loss to families and the state. However, most injuries are minor and do not cause permanent injury.
The Recognition of Minority Rights in International Law: A Historical Review
Authors: Mandal Gobinda Chandra
Published: December 2023

This study examines the history of minority rights in international law. It begins with the early recognition of minority rights, including the Treaty of Westphalia and the Congress of Vienna, and the emergence of the concept of national minorities in Europe. The article examines minority rights in Europe during the Congress of Berlin and the interwar activities of the League of Nations. Post-World War II developments are explored, with a focus on UN minority recognition. The article also emphasises the role of international human rights legislation in protecting minority rights through treaties like the ICCPR and CRC. It also examines the regional human rights protection mechanisms in Europe, America, Africa, and the Arab region. The paper sheds light on modern minority rights issues like self-determination, cultural rights, political representation, equality, non-discrimination, etc. At the same time, the article also identifies sovereignty, globalisation, terrorism, and nationalist and populist movements as barriers to the process of recognising and protecting minority rights. The conclusion summarises the findings and guides future studies, highlighting the need to maintain and enhance minority rights globally while balancing complex and competing interests.
Indigenous Identities, Languages and Narratives: Understanding Issues and their Representation, Survival and Continuity Across South Asia
Authors: Bajpai Lopamudra Maitra
Published: December 2023

This paper looks at an identity of a region, being synonymous to their local and indigenous languages and dialects and the paper proceeds to explain these through examples of South Asia, especially spanning the region of the SAARC (South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation) countries. This is an important factor as these languages preserve narratives, which give an insight into many aspects concerning human rights as well as issues of migrations, resettlements and various aspects of regional history. Thus, the languages and their narratives are important representations in the modern global world. The paper also looks into few noteworthy questions, which are often argued as significant in modern times e.g. – ‘Are indigenous languages endangered?’ or ‘The context of indigenous languages in the present global world’. A closer study of these queries provides answers to look at representation, survival and continuity of narratives of indigenous languages across the region and within the subtexts of these narratives, lie questions of human rights and of lives and their everyday struggles, which are oft left in oblivion from the pages of mainstream books. Thus, far from the confines of rigid urban discussions, these narratives can truly reflect issues of human rights and its sublime approach can help to connect across cultures by cutting through geographical boundaries. The paper looks at the issue through few endangered languages across the region of South Asia with few examples of narratives from each. The paper follows an extensive work of the author across the region of South Asia across 2017 till the present.

Los malos augurios y la suerte como elementos constitutivos de la muerte en Fabla salvaje y en el cuento «Cera», de César Vallejo
Authors: Dominguez Chincha Gustavo Reynaldo
Published: December 2023

Este artículo analiza dos textos de César Vallejo: Fabla salvaje y el cuento «Cera» de Escalas. En la novela Fabla salvaje, se observará cómo se representa una etapa cumbre: el momento en el que se rompe el espejo, y desde él se tratará de evidenciar la importancia de la suerte y los malos augurios en la construcción del texto. Asimismo, en el cuento «Cera», mostraremos una secuencia ordenada de malos augurios que ceden el paso a la presencia de la muerte. Por ello, tanto la novela como el cuento tienen en común los malos augurios y la presencia de la suerte como elementos que acarrean la posibilidad de morir. En tal sentido, es menester mostrar la vinculación de estos elementos, en ambos textos, con la muerte propiamente dicha. En otras palabras, no puede existir la presencia de la muerte sin antes haber sido enunciada tácita o expresamente por diferentes marcas en la obra de Vallejo.
Humanismo jurídico en la representación de los sujetos de derecho en Fabla salvaje y Escalas de César Vallejo: a un siglo de su publicación
Authors: Velazco Lévano Nilton César
Published: December 2023

Desde un método de análisis sistemático, hermenéutico y comparativo, el presente estudio tiene como propósito identificar el proceso de deshumanización en Fabla salvaje y Escalas, de César Vallejo. El autor, con una peculiar lírica narrativa y poética, inaugura y exhibe su vena narrativa de modo crítico, dramático, onírico, enigmático e irónico, y al mismo tiempo nos alerta de los peligros, los desafíos y las esperanzas que nos salvarán de esa descomposición en la que los sujetos de derecho se encuentran inmersos. Por un lado, los relatos se aproximan a lo recóndito de la experiencia y de la cosmovisión andina hasta hacerlos estallar en la absurdidad; y, por otro, se adentran en el cosmopolitismo que la urbe limeña ofrece seductoramente, como preparando al autor para lo que vendría luego en Europa. De ese modo, configura un sujeto de derecho asentado en la base del humanismo jurídico que caracteriza el universo vallejiano. El centenario de la publicación de las obras mencionadas es una buena ocasión para poner de relieve la vigencia del mensaje humanista y utópico del autor.
