Effects of stretching velocity on double fractional Jeffreys fluids with rheological synergistic heat conductivity
Authors: Liu Shengna , Yang Weidong , Ding Yiming , Zheng Liancun
Published: February 2023

Double fractional Jeffreys fluids are widely used in production and life. In this paper, the effects of stretching velocity on the flow and heat transfer of double fractional Jeffreys fluid are studied. Three types of stretching velocity are considered, i.e., (i) uniform velocity; (ii) acceleration; and (iii) deceleration. The rheological synergistic thermal conductivity model introduced to the energy equation is formulated based on experiments. The governing equations are solved by using a combination of the finite difference technique and the L1 algorithm. Results show that there is an inflection point on each velocity profile which divides the velocity field into two sections, convex (the elasticity plays a primary effect) and concave (the viscosity plays a primary effect). As the stretching velocity parameter increases, the thickness of the region where the elasticity plays a major role does not change in case (i), however, it reduces in case (ii) and grows in case (iii). We also found that, compared with uniform stretching, accelerated stretching can lead to higher heat transfer, while decelerated stretching causes less heat transfer. And for uniform velocity stretching, the stretching velocity parameter has little effect on the temperature field. In the case of accelerated stretching, increasing the stretching velocity parameter enhances heat transfer, however, for decelerated stretching, it weakens heat transfer. These results are instructive for industrial design.
A 19. és 20. századi klinikai értelemben vett szorongásfogalom keletkezésének állomásai a pszichoanalitikus tradícióban

The stages of formation of the clinical concept of anxiety in the 19th and 20th century in the psychoanalytic traditionSzilvia BuskuThe psychoanalytic school has not described a homogeneous theory about anxiety. There is no undivided principle about the development of anxiety neurosis but a consecutive creation of new models similarly to the Freudian concept of anxiety described in this study, which has also been alternated several times. Thus, the source of the clinical concept of anxiety can be examined from multiple points of view. Freud and Adler assumed the continuous activity of the same instinct,  where sometimes sexuality at other times assertiveness dominates. Unlike Jung, who believes that human existence should not be regarded as a rigid system but a moving and continuousaction affected by different instincts. This study describes the Freudian concepts of anxiety and the Jungian psychology with a brief view on the Kantian and Heideggerian concept of anxiety related conscience.

Published: February 2023

The motor cortex controls skilled arm movement by recruiting a variety of targets in the nervous system, and it is important to understand the emergent activity in these regions as refinement of a motor skill occurs. One fundamental projection of the motor cortex (M1) is to the cerebellum. However, the emergent activity in the motor cortex and the cerebellum that appears as a dexterous motor skill is consolidated is incompletely understood. Here, we report on low-frequency oscillatory (LFO) activity that emerges in cortico-cerebellar networks with learning the reach-to-grasp motor skill. We chronically recorded the motor and the cerebellar cortices in rats, which revealed the emergence of coordinated movement-related activity in the local-field potentials as the reaching skill consolidated. Interestingly, we found this emergent activity only in the rats that gained expertise in the task. We found that the local and cross-area spiking activity was coordinated with LFOs in proficient rats. Finally, we also found that these neural dynamics were more prominently expressed during accurate behavior in the M1. This work furthers our understanding on emergent dynamics in the cortico-cerebellar loop that underlie learning and execution of precise skilled movement.

Comparative neuroimaging allows for the identification of similarities and differences between species. It provides an important and promising avenue, to answer questions about the evolutionary origins of the brain´s organization, in terms of both structure and function. Dog functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has recently become one particularly promising and increasingly used approach to study brain function and coevolution. In dog neuroimaging, image acquisition has so far been mostly performed with coils originally developed for use in human MRI. Since such coils have been tailored to human anatomy, their sensitivity and data quality is likely not optimal for dog MRI. Therefore, we developed a multichannel receive coil (K9 coil, read “canine”) tailored for high-resolution functional imaging in canines, optimized for dog cranial anatomy. In this paper we report structural (n = 9) as well as functional imaging data (resting-state,n = 6; simple visual paradigm,n = 9) collected with the K9 coil in comparison to reference data collected with a human knee coil. Our results show that the K9 coil significantly outperforms the human knee coil, improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) across the imaging modalities. We noted increases of roughly 45% signal-to-noise in the structural and functional domain. In terms of translation to fMRI data collected in a visual flickering checkerboard paradigm, group-level analyses show that the K9 coil performs better than the knee coil as well. These findings demonstrate how hardware improvements may be instrumental in driving data quality, and thus, quality of imaging results, for dog-human comparative neuroimaging.
Individual Variability in Performance Reflects Selectivity of the Multiple Demand Network among Children and Adults

Published: February 2023

Executive function (EF) is essential for humans to effectively engage in cognitively demanding tasks. In adults, EF is subserved by frontoparietal regions in the multiple demand (MD) network, which respond to various cognitively demanding tasks. However, children initially show poor EF and prolonged development. Do children recruit the same network as adults? Is it functionally and connectionally distinct from adjacent language cortex, as in adults? And is this activation or connectivity dependent on age or ability? We examine task-dependent (spatial working memory and passive language tasks) and resting state functional data in 44 adults (18-38 years, 68% female) and 37 children (4-12 years, 35% female). Subject-specific functional ROIs (ss-fROIs) show bilateral MD network activation in children. In both children and adults, these MD ss-fROIs are not recruited for linguistic processing and are connectionally distinct from language ss-fROIs. While MD activation was lower in children than in adults (even in motion- and performance-matched groups), both showed increasing MD activation with better performance, especially in right hemisphere ss-fROIs. We observe this relationship even when controlling for age, cross-sectionally and in a small longitudinal sample of children. These data suggest that the MD network is selective to cognitive demand in children, is distinct from adjacent language cortex, and increases in selectivity as performance improves. These findings show that neural structures subserving domain-general EF emerge early and are sensitive to ability even in children. This research advances understanding of how high-level human cognition emerges and could inform interventions targeting cognitive control.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThis study provides evidence that young children already show differentiated brain network organization between regions that process cognitive demand and language. These data support the hypothesis that children recruit a similar network as adults to process cognitive demand; and despite immature characteristics, children's selectivity looks more adult-like as their executive function ability increases. Mapping early stages of network organization furthers our understanding of the functional architecture underlying domain-general executive function. Determining typical variability underlying cognitive processing across developmental periods helps establish a threshold for executive dysfunction. Early markers of dysfunction are necessary for effective early identification, prevention, and intervention efforts for individuals struggling with deficits in processing cognitive demand.
Mental Number Representations Are Spatially Mapped Both by Their Magnitudes and Ordinal Positions

Published: February 2023

The Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect – i.e., faster responses to small numbers with the left compared to the right side and to large numbers with the right compared to the left side – suggests that numbers are associated with space. However, it remains unclear whether the SNARC effect evolves from a number’s magnitude or the ordinal position of a number in working memory. One problem is that, in different paradigms, the task demands influence the role of ordinality and magnitude. While single-task setups in which participants judge the parity of a displayed number indicate the importance of magnitude for the SNARC effect, evidence for ordinal influences usually comes from experiments where ordinal sequences have to be memorized or setups in which participants possess pre-existing knowledge of the ordinality of stimuli. Therefore, in this preregistered study, we employed a SNARC task without secondary ordinal sequence memorization. We dissociate ordinal and magnitude accounts by carefully manipulating experimental stimulus sets. The results indicate that even though the magnitude model better accounts for the observed data, the ordinal position seems to matter as well. Hence, numbers are associated with space in both a magnitude- and an order-respective manner, yielding a mixture of both compatibility effects. Moreover, a multiple coding framework may most accurately explain the roots of the SNARC effect.
Saving the People Congress Forgot
Authors: Linda Evans Charles D. Weisselberg
Published: February 2023

Lost among more than 150,000 federal prisoners is a small cohort of “old law” people who have served many decades in custody. They were sentenced for offenses committed prior to November 1987, when the Federal Sentencing Guidelines went into effect. These are some of the oldest and most vulnerable people in the federal system, and least likely to re-offend. The possibility of release for most of them lies with the U.S. Parole Commission, a dysfunctional government agency. Unlike other federal prisoners, old law people cannot ask a court for compassionate release.

The Commission was scheduled to go out of business in 1992, but instead its role has changed and it has been continually re-authorized, currently through October 2023. But as the article explains, the Commission is a failed agency: it has lost track of old law people and has not reported accurately to Congress. Further, the Agency was created to oversee a vastly different population than the aging and medically vulnerable people under its jurisdiction now.

The article recommends amending the First Step Act to allow all old law people to apply for compassionate release under the same procedures available to new law prisoners. Congress should not continue to re-authorize the Parole Commission. Parole authority should be transferred to U.S. magistrate judges, to apply release criteria more suited to an elderly population. Finally, clemency petitions for everyone sentenced under the old law should be prioritized by President Biden.

Published: February 2023

Cross-sectional study that aimed to evaluate and compare the frequency of perceived/self-reported stress by nurses in hospitals with and without accreditation. One conducted in an accredited and two non-accredited hospitals in São Paulo in 2010 and 2011. Data collection included a questionnaire and the Stress Inventory for Nurses, with 262 participants, who evaluated stressful situations in the categories: Intrinsic Factors of Work, Interpersonal Relationships at Work and Stressful Roles in Career. The differences among hospitals concerning nurses’ perception/self-declaration about potentially stressful factors were evaluated by the chi-square test, considering p <0.05 the critical level. Working in an accredited hospital protected against perception/self-declaration of stress caused by stressful factors in the categories: Intrinsic Factors of Work and Stressful Roles in their Career, being a risk factor related to the category Relationships at Work. One concludes that nurses from the accredited hospital perceived/self-reported more stressful factors in situations related to interpersonal relationships.

Cross-sectional study that assessed the quality of nursing records on cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Forty-two patients’ charts were reviewed in an intensive care unit, using the Utstein protocol. There was a predominance of men (54.8%), aged from 21-70 years old (38.1%), correction of acquired heart diseases (42.7%), with more than one pre-existing device (147). As immediate cause of cardiac arrest, hypotension predominated (48.3%) and as the initial rhythm, bradycardia (37.5%). Only the time of death and time of arrest were recorded in 100% of the sample. Professional training in Advanced Life Support was not recorded. The causes of arrest and initial rhythm were recorded in 69% and 76.2% of the sample. Chest compressions, patent airway obtainment and defibrillation were recorded in less than 16%. Records were considered of low quality and may cause legal sanctions to professionals and do not allow the comparison of the effectiveness of the maneuvers with other centers.

Authors: Herdman T. Heather
Published: February 2023

The aim of this study was to explore diagnostic indicators in the neonatal population for one nursing diagnosis approved by NANDA International, Inc., hypothermia, and for a proposed diagnosis, risk for hypothermia. In this integrative review, 23 articles were reviewed from the Cinahl, PubMed, and LILACS databases during the period of January through April, 2013. Data were drawn from the articles and synthesized to develop a list of potential related and/or risk factors, and defining characteristics. Potential newborn-related defining characteristics and related factors were identified for clinical testing in hypothermia, (23 and 17, respectively). Twenty-three risk factors were identified for risk for hypothermia. Diagnostic indicators for nursing diagnoses that place newborns at risk of morbidity and mortality will enable risk screening and more adequate assessments. These newly identified diagnostic indicators require research to validate their clinical usefulness.

The 168 medical records were evaluated according to the standard established by the literature and the legislation of the Professional Council from January to June 2011. The importance of early contact with the patient, incomplete records or lack of information on the assistance rendered, besides nonconformities related to what is expected, were identified. The conclusion is that there is the need of periodic evaluations of the quality of the records and discussions on the results with the nursing team, on its importance regarding legislation, literature and the safety of patients.
A Will Made During an Epidemic – Roman testamentum pestis tempore condictum and Selected Modern Regulations
Authors:   Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu, Sobczyk Marek
Published: February 2023

This article deals with the problem of making a will during an epidemic and simplifications in the testamentary formalities that are necessary to facilitate a testator to validly express his or her wishes in such difficult and specific circumstances. It analyses testamentum tempore pectis conditum in Roman law and its modern equivalents in Spanish, Italian and Polish law. Preconditions of applicability of the special forms of a will in those systems and the simplifications introduced therein are compared. The article presents the specific provisions in which this form of a will is regulated and their interpretation in civil law doctrine and case law. The central questions are: under which circumstances this form of a will is allowed, what the purpose of the special regulations is, what the relaxation from the ordinary testamentary formalities consists in and what requirements should be fulfilled after the will is made to preserve its validity. Some basic comparisons with the ordinary forms of a will are made to establish the peculiarities of the will drawn up during the epidemic. The differences between the analysed provisions and their importance in practice are pointed out.
Legal Protection of Life in the Constitutions of the Republic of Poland of March 17, 1921 and April 2, 1997
Authors:   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku, Ożóg Michał
Published: February 2023

The issue of legal protection of life from Article 38 of the 1997 Constitution is one of the most important dilemmas of modern Polish law. This issue was already regulated in the March Constitution. The purpose of the article is to present the normative content of the legal protection of life on the basis of both constitutions. The research objective is to determine the importance of the two constitutions in providing legal protection of life in the context of the tasks of the ordinary legislature and the importance of judicial decisions. The text confronts the assumptions of the system legislator with lower–level regulations. Particular attention has been paid to the issue of assessing the compatibility of these solutions with the constitution’s design. Consideration was given to the influence of international organizations on the content and implementation of the protection of life in the Polish legal order. The study includes an analysis of the literature on the subject. The dogmatic and historical-legal method was used. The deliberations take into account the weaknesses and strengths of entrusting the judiciary with the constitutional task of defining the normative content of the protection of life. Contemporary public disputes in this matter should prompt greater efforts in clarifying constitutional solutions. It is worth bearing in mind the experience of the 1921 Constitution.

Published: February 2023

The publication aims to present the practise of application of the so called March Constitution (passed in march 1921 by the parliament of the Polish Second Republic), which come to power as a result of the coup d’état of May 1926. The Sanacja camp’s leader, Józef Pilsudski evaluated march constitution negatively, as it created parliamentary supremacy in state authority system. In the introduction to the publication, an amendment to the march constitution of 2 August 1926, which strengthened the competences of the executive authorities, was presented. The precedents were formally in line with the literal wording of the provisions of the March Constitution, but in practise they contradicted its fundamental principles. Precedents were the main weapon in the battle conducted by Józef Piłsudski against the Sejm, which was in opposition to the Sanation authorities. The practice of shortening parliamentary sessions would lead to a significant limitation of the Sejm’s activity in favour of law-making by the President’s decrees. The last of a series of constitutional precedents of the Sanacja camp was used to adopt a new constitution contrary to the provisions of the March Constitution. The April Constitution of 1935 officially confirmed the system of authoritarian rule of the Sanacja camp.

Published: February 2023

Melatonin, a substantial hormone, is a natural antioxidant agent that functions as a protector against the harmful effects of free radicals. Studies have found that “exogenous melatonin” applications have a positive effect on the growth and development of plants. This study investigated the adaptation of the seedlings that were transported from the nursery to the afforestation site for the process of planting. In 2019 the 2+0 aged bare-rooted Kastamonu/Taşköprü Anatolian Black pine seedlings, which are suitable for planting in semi-arid areas, were selected as research materials. Four different doses of “exogenous melatonin” (250, 500, 1000, and 1500 μM) were administered through two different methods (root-dipping and needle-spraying). Morphological seedling characteristics and bioactive chemical variables were measured for the control group and the seedlings treated with different doses of melatonin. Antioxidant enzyme activities were identified. When both the needle-spraying and root-dipping methods for melatonin application were evaluated in terms of morphological and biochemical variables, the best results were determined in low doses (250 to 500 μM). The results suggest that melatonin provides support to the metabolic process for the resistance of seedlings to low temperatures and semi-arid climatic conditions.

Published: February 2023

The effect of drying temperature on the drying characteristics of tobacco was investigated with different water content. The isothermal drying characteristics and kinetics of three kinds of tobacco on the production line of a tobacco factory in Hubei were studied by halogen water analyzer. The drying characteristics of tobacco with different water content under isothermal conditions were evaluated by water loss characteristics, water diffusion coefficient, and activation energy. The results showed that the drying time of cut tobacco was reduced by increasing the drying temperature within a certain range. The water diffusion coefficient of cut tobacco decreased with the increase of temperature from 70 to 100 °C, and increased with the increase of initial water content. The activation energy of cut tobacco was related to the production process. The activation energy in the experiment was as follows: CT-2 > CT-3 > CT-1. Five drying models were used for non-linear fitting of the drying behavior of tobacco. The fitting degree of the Midilli model was the highest, reaching 0.9944. This data will be useful in the design of tobacco drying equipment.
ПАРАФРАЗЫ СКАЗОК А. С. ПУШКИНА В ФОЛЬКЛОРНОЙ ТРАДИЦИИ КАРЕЛЬСКОГО ПОМОРЬЯ
Authors: Валерия Созина
Published: February 2023

В статье рассмотрен процесс перехода фольклорных сказок в литературу и обратный процесс их перехода в народную среду. Определен объем понятия «фольклорный пересказ», указаны способы знакомства исполнителей фольклора с литературной сказкой, поставлены ключевые вопросы этнопоэтики фольклористики: в чем отличие русской сказки от сказок других народов? что сохраняется от литературных текстов при переходе в фольклор? Основываясь на понятии парафраза в трактовке И. А. Есаулова, автор произвел анализ сказок, совпадающих с сюжетными типами пушкинских текстов, записанных в ХХ в. на территории Карельского Поморья. Данные материалы хранятся в Научном архиве Карельского научного центра РАН. Из них лишь два текста опубликованы в сборнике «Русские народные сказки Карельского Поморья». Наибольшее количество вариантов записано на сюжет «Сказки о рыбаке и рыбке». Один вариант зафиксирован на сюжет «Сказки о мертвой царевне и о семи богатырях» от А. Е. Старикова. Для пересказов пушкинской «Сказки о царе Салтане» характерны трансформация образа моря (сказка Е. И. Ладиной), двойная фольклорная обработка литературного текста (Е. А. Сахарова) и краткость (А. И. Суслонова). Сюжет сказки о попе и его работнике в Карельском Поморье был зафиксирован дважды: первый вариант практически полностью повторяет литературный текст, второй — теряет православный код пушкинского текста. Особое значение в пушкинских текстах имеет морская стихия. Она может отражать настроение помощника (Рыбки), являться центром мироздания или же местом обитания нечистой силы. В фольклорных пересказах пушкинских текстов на территории Карельского Поморья море воспринимается как естественная преграда или же пропускается. Переходя в устную народную среду, пушкинские сказки, как правило, сохраняют православный код русской культуры.

Published: February 2023

OBJECTIVES

To characterize the relationship between non-English language preference (NELP) and hospital outcomes including length of stay (LOS), time of discharge, emergency department return visits, readmissions, and cost for pediatric general medicine inpatients.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective analysis at an urban, quaternary care, free-standing children’s hospital. Patients ages 0 to 18 admitted to any general medicine service between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019 were included. Patients were divided into 3 language preference categories: English, Spanish, and non-Spanish NELP. Single and multifactor regression analysis was used to model differences in outcome measures by language preference adjusted for technology dependence.

RESULTS

A total of 4820 patients met criteria. In adjusted models, the average LOS for English-speaking patients was 126 hours; LOS for patients who preferred Spanish was not significantly different, whereas LOS for patients with non-Spanish NELP was 50% longer (P < .001). English-speaking patients were discharged earliest in the day (mean 3:08 pm), with patients who preferred Spanish discharged 0.5 hours later and patients with non-Spanish NELP discharged 1.1 hours later than English-speaking patients (P < .001). Patients with NELP were found to be technology-dependent more frequently (P < .001) than the English preference group. Emergency department return visits, readmissions, and cost were not significantly different between groups.

CONCLUSIONS

NELP was associated with longer length of stay and discharges later in the day. The most pronounced differences occurred in patients with non-Spanish NELP who also had more frequent technology dependence and more limited access to interpreters.
Psychedelic therapy as reality transformation: A phenomenological approach
Authors: Sanchez Petrement Mateo
Published: February 2023

Coinciding with and responding to a growing crisis in the diagnostic, explanatory and treatment systems of psychiatry, the last couple of decades have seen a growing amount of evidence regarding the therapeutic potential of psychedelic drugs to treat a variety of mental health conditions. Broadly, this crisis can be construed as that of “indivi/dualist” approaches which aim to treat patients who are construed as separated from their social and material contexts, which are taken as given. The implicit premise: the self, but not the world, is the site of therapeutic intervention. By contrast, researchers insist that psychedelic therapy functions by on producing an experience of “connectedness” to self, world, and others, which is heavily influenced by context. However, by remaining in an indivi/dualist thoughtspace, neurological and psychological perspectives betray these recurring themes. In this essay, I approach psychedelic therapy for depression through the lens of phenomenological psychiatry to take these themes seriously–a task which passes by considering experience as embodied, and therefore embedded. Starting off from an analysis of depression as a bodily detunement (disconnection), I argue that, through a process of “immersive reflection”, psychedelic therapy transforms not only the self, but patients’ sense of reality. This will allow me to answer several questions pertaining to psychedelic therapy regarding its therapeutic mechanism, why it transforms reality and not only the self, why it transforms and not merely amplifies experience, why its effects last beyond the drugs’ psychoactive duration, and in what their paradigm-shifting potential for mental health consists of.

The scientific article considered charitable activities in the field of education of the duchess Ludovika Karolina of the Radziwill family on the territory of Belarus in the last third of the XVII century. A number of main directions of its financial assistance were noted: support for schools, additional payments to teachers, as well as the allocation of scholarships in European educational institutions. In addition, the efforts of the Princess to increase the number of founders among the German monarchs were noted. A number of the materials provided indicate that it monitored the quality of the educational process organization, made efforts to improve it and bring it closer to the Western European model of pedagogy. Description of the education of the book itself. Duchess Ludovika Karolina, at the same time, gives an idea about the features of women’s education in the Calvinist environment of the second half of the XVII century.
Leading collegially: Shifting paradigms for effective student teacher mentoring during work-integrated learning
Authors: Mahomed Carmel Claire , Singh Prakash
Published: February 2023

Teacher training has long relied on experienced school mentors as role models for novice teachers. However, qualifications and experience alone cannot remain the prerequisites for teacher leadership in 21st century schools. How can experienced school mentors collegially mentor new teachers into leadership, without abrogating their responsibilities? In this article, a constructivist approach was explored to mentor new teachers into leadership with the focus on establishing symbiotic relationships based on the mutual continuous professional development (CPD) of experienced school mentors and novice teachers. A multi-faced approach to leadership is proposed. Data regarding the perceptions of 241 final-year student teachers of their mentors’ collegial leadership competencies were collected using a questionnaire. The findings indicate the positive perceptions that the student teachers had of their mentors’ collegial leadership competencies. In the study reported on here, the focus was on the perceived characteristics of experienced school mentors to assist student teachers with work-integrated learning. The findings provide insights into enhancing the interpersonal collegial competencies of experienced school mentors to improve the school-work-integrated knowledge of student teachers.
FEEDBACK CONTROL OF CHAOTIC MOTION IN AN ANISOTROPIC POROUS MEDIUM UNDER MAGNETIC EFFECT
Authors: Surendar R. , Muthtamilselvan M.
Published: February 2023

The main purpose of this work is to provide an innovative approach for studying the chaos control of the viscoelastic fluid-saturated anisotropic porous layer under the magnetic effect and feedback control modulation. The governing flow model partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using a powerful tool of Fourier modes and a nonlinear low-dimensional Brinkman model employed by using the truncated Galerkin method. Their results reveal the feedback gain parameter, Hartmann number, Darcy number, and the mechanical and thermal anisotropy parameters on the stabilization of thermal convection to suppress the chaos. Additionally, many real-world applications conforming to system stabilization of thermal convection are important in nuclear power energy, including turbo machinery, cooling chemical components, and electronic cooling processes. The emergence of various nonlinear flows of steady-state, periodic, and oscillatory to chaotic convection is demonstrated with the change of feedback control parameters. Also, we found that the feedback control gains parameter K value is directly proportional to the scaled Rayleigh number with the external effects on the magnetic field and anisotropic parameters. Our findings were found to be in good agreement with previous numerical results. Finally, the paper proposes the implications of using feedback control combined with magnetic effect to effectively control the chaotic system.
Inclusión y diferencia
Authors: Robledo Rodríguez Alejandro
Published: February 2023

El presente trabajo busca identificar los fundamentos filosófico-jurídicos presentes en los diversos regulatorios del sistema chileno y colombiano, desde una perspectiva sistémica. El objetivo es reflejar en ello una mirada desde la óptica del sistema de derechos humanos planteado por la matriz de la epistemología jurídica de Ferrajoli, nutrida por la visión de Habermas y Peces-Barba como ejes de articulación del planteamiento. Esto, con miras a ponderar un análisis de las normas y los niveles de aplicación y significación de los cuerpos legales analizados, ante todo en función del derecho a la educación y las dinámicas de inclusión y de reconocimiento de la diferencia, en la reflexión multicultural.

Authors:   Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Muñoz Prada Patricia Milena
Published: February 2023

La presente guía tiene como propósito orientar al estudiante y futuro emprendedor a generar ideas de negocios y hacerle la evaluación correspondiente que permita la definición y conceptualización del futuro negocio. Las ideas en sus inicios son generalizadas y carecen, muchas veces, de sentido al consumidor. Detectar una oportunidad de negocios en el entorno empresarial que funcione para iniciar una empresa requiere de un proceso donde el empresario se dedique juicioso a trabajar y a indagar en los objetivos que quiere lograr y cómo hacer realidad su sueño de crear una empresa. Las ideas de negocios surgen de querer solucionar un problema o satisfacer necesidades que aún no han sido resueltas por productos o servicios que se encuentran en el mercado. Todo proceso de creación de empresa inicia con una buena idea de negocios que permitirá evaluar la factibilidad y viabilidad del negocio en el mercado.
The effect of the quality of online (virtual) convention service on participants' intention to re-participate in online conventions
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Yang June-Hee , Lee Byeong-Cheol
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between online convention service quality and re-participation intention in online conventions. The study reviewed the main components of online service quality. The study proposed a research model based on the theoretical background, hypothesizing that online service quality has direct effects on expectancy disconfirmation, attitude, and perceived behavior, which in turn affects the intention to re-participate in online conventions. The survey subjects were people who had attended an online convention with more than 100 people in the previous year. An online survey was used to collect data from July 26 to August 6, 2021. As a result, the quality of online convention service was divided into five components (human service, program, platform aesthetics, platform service, and interaction), and it was discovered that these components influenced expectancy disconfirmation, attitudes, perceived behavior control, and subjective norms. Furthermore, it was discovered that expectancy disconfirmation, attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms for online convention service quality all have a significant influence on reuse intention. This study suggests that the aesthetics of the platform as an attractive quality factor is important for differentiation when holding an online convention and for the essence of the meeting to obtain quality information.
