Institutional Change On First Nations: Examining Factors Influencing First Nations’ Adoption of the Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management
Authors: Doidge Mary , Deaton B. James , Woods Bethany
Published: March 2024

In 1999 the Canadian Federal government passed the First Nations Land Management Act, ratifying the Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management signed by the government and 14 original signatory First Nations in 1996. This Agreement allows First Nations to opt out of the 34 land code provisions of the Indian Act and develop individual land codes, and has been promoted as a means of increasing First Nation autonomy and facilitating economic growth and development on reserve lands. There are currently 77 First Nation signatories to the Agreement, 39 with operational independent land codes. This paper is the first to empirically examine factors that may influence a First Nation's decision to become signatory to the Framework Agreement. A unique dataset characterizing each First Nation by socio-economic and demographic characteristics is used with a probit model to determine the effects of these characteristics on the probability of First Nation adoption of the Agreement. The results of this study indicate that proximity to an urban centre positively affects the probability that a First Nation will adopt. However, the statistical strength of this finding is sensitive to the inclusion of an education variable in the regression.
Land Management On First Nations Reserves: Lawful Possession and Its Determinants
Authors: Brinkhurst Marena , Kessler Anke S.
Published: March 2024

Much debate concerning property rights on reserves in Canada focuses on socio-economic impacts and the potential for individualized land tenure to support economic development, thereby reducing poverty. Study of existing forms of individual property on reserves is needed to inform these debates. In this article, we examine data on the lawful possession (Certificate of Possession) system that is currently used on reserves across Canada. We provide descriptive statistics regarding the variability of lawful possessions across First Nations and using regression analysis we assess which socio-economic, demographic, and locational variables influence the use of lawful possessions instead of communal land or other customary land holding systems. We show that use of the lawful possession system is surprisingly low and very uneven. As well, our regression results suggests that using the system requires a relatively educated community with low levels of poverty, with a favourable geographic location. Overall, the results are consistent with the view that lawful possessions are not primarily used to foster economic development.
Political Stability And The Well-Being Of First Nations In Saskatchewan: Implications for the Proposed First Nations Elections Act
Authors: Natcher David C. , Olfert Rose , Boaitey Albert , Allen Tom
Published: March 2024

This paper provides an empirical analysis of the relationship between the political stability of First Nations in Saskatchewan and a number of measures of social and economic well-being. Our results show that among First Nations in Saskatchewan the average term of elected leadership is 4.5 years. Simple descriptive statistics support the basic hypothesis that more stability, represented as less frequent changes in elected Chiefs, is associated with better socio-economic outcomes for First Nation communities. Our findings also show evidence that there are limits to how much more socio-economic gains can be achieved by increasing political stability of First Nation governments. At some point the positive contribution of greater stability to socio-economic outcomes decreases, such that it may eventually reduce, rather than improve positive socioeconomic outcomes. With this paper we hope to inform the current debate of the merits or risks associated with any future changes in First Nation elections and their resulting systems of governance.

A Basic Primer on Organizational Governance
Authors: Junkin Brock
Published: March 2024

There has been a sea change in the attitude to corporate governance in the past decade. Perhaps it has been less of a revolution and more of a realization that the old back-scratching order of long lunches, rubber stamps, and incestuous intra/inter board relationships are not robust enough to fulfill the stewardship mandate that rests with boards of directors. This has been thrown up due to a number of grievous corporate failures over the past couple of decades which have spawned a number of reports including the Dey (1994), Cadbury (1992), and King (1994) reports. This is more a realization rather than a revolution because the basics have always been there but have been forgotten over the years. It took a number of dramatic corporate failures for the business community to remember the basics, and it is to these that this essay will turn. These failures of corporate governance and their aftermath are not restricted to large operations but occur at all levels of organizational endeavour. Hence an understanding of good corporate governance is germane to all organizations, big and small, as the author has discovered to his chagrin.
Robert Tricker (2009) noted that “if management is about running the business, governance is about seeing that it is run properly” or it is “the system by which organizations are directed and controlled” as Adrian Cabury (1992) noted. This suggests an oversight or stewardship role which is exactly at the heart of the governance function. Before elaborating further on the governance function itself, it might be useful to examine exactly where a board of directors fits in the broader arrangement of a corporate organization. To develop this understanding we will look to the agency theory of corporate organization.

ABSTRACT

The Indonesian government aims to become the country with the largest economy in the world by 2030, one strategy being the development of national entrepreneurship. In addition to the entrepreneurship courses required for students, the P2MW competition program organized by the Ministry of Education and Culture is also part of the effort to achieve this national economic target. However, reaching out to Gen-Z presents its own set of challenges. This service takes the form of guidance and training specifically designed to increase students' entrepreneurial interest, as well as efforts to identify the limitations or obstacles they face. The outcomes of this service include the discovery of obstacles that instill fear in Gen-Z students regarding entrepreneurship, as well as innovative ways to address and explain these obstacles.

Analisis Perspektif Guru Terhadap Penerapan Kurikulum Merdeka Pada Pembelajaran IPA di SMP Negeri 22 Surabaya
Authors: Faadhilah Nadiah Arisa , Indayati Tatik
Published: March 2024

Penelitian ini mempunyai tujuan sebagai telaah sudut pandang guru/pendidik yang mengampu mapel IPA Kelas VII di SMP Negeri 22 Surabaya terkait dengan penerapan kurikulum merdeka. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan pengumpulan data yang memanfaatkan teknik wawancara dan teknik dokumentasi, serta dilakukan analisis dengan triangulasi data dan triangulasi metode. Wawancara dilakukan terhadap beberapa narasumber yang dianggap terkena imbas langsung dari perubahan kurikulum merdeka yang sedang diterapan di sekolah dan hanya dikhususkan untuk peerta didik kelas VII saja. Kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian ini adalah, perubahan kurikulum menyebabkan beberapa kebingungan bagi sebagian besar guru yang mengampu pembelajaran IPA di kelas VII dengan kurikulum merdeka. Kurangnya pembinaan langsung dari pemerintah terkait pelaksanaan kurikulum merdeka membuat guru hanya bisa mencontoh sekolah-sekolah penggerak yang memang sudah terlaksana penerapan kurikulum merdeka bersama arahan langsung dari pemerintah. Jumlah pendidik untuk membina penerapan kurikulum merdeka di kelas VII juga dinilai kurang sehingga banyak guru yang merasa kewalahan, bahkan harus mengorbankan jam pendampingan untuk jadwal mengajar di kelas lain, yang memang jadwal yang berlaku bertabrakan. Guru juga merasa pelaksanaan pembelajaran projek memiliki beberapa dampak positif maupun negatif terhadap peserta didik. Dampak positifnya, peserta didik memiliki kemampuan yang terasah secara kemajuan teknologi, sedangkan negatifnya, peserta didik akan bosan karena pembelajaran projek dilaksanakan berturut-turut selama dua minggu tanpa adanya pembelajaran materi. Namun dari sekian banyaknya permasalahan, kurikulum merdeka memiliki keunggulan dalam hal pembelajaran berbasis pendidikan karakter yang mempunyai pengaruh pada pembentukan karakter peserta didik yang sempat hilang sebab pembelajaran secara daring.

Published: March 2024

Last decade has been marked by the worsening of COPD epidemiology, particularly due to increase of its prevalence and mortality. According to recent data COPD is a cause of more than 3 million or 6 % of all deaths annually. Among the causes of high mortality rate the experts mention the exacerbations of the disease. An exacerbation of COPD is defined as an event, characterized by dyspnea and/or cough and sputum, that worsen over last 14 days. Exacerbations are frequently associated with the increased local and systemic inflammation caused of respiratory tract infection, air pollution or other insults to the lungs. Prevention of exacerbations as a major factor of COPD progression is one of the prerogatives of respiratory medicine. Patients with COPD and cardio-vascular comorbidity is the most vulnerable cohort due to high risk of mortality. Timely initiation of triple inhalation therapy with LAMA/LABA/ICS combination for patients with high risk of unfavorable outcomes is one of effective tools to reduce mortality. Clinical trials proved its statistically significant efficacy. Current understanding of the problem requires individualized approach to management of COPD, based on close contact with the patients, monitoring of availability and accessibility of medications, control of inhalation technique and treatment compliance, psychological and information support of the patients. Key words: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, GOLD-2024, changes and additions.

Pulmonary cysts 3 to 25 mm in diameter are found in average in 13 % of patients with sub-acute hypersensitivity pneumonits (HP). Lymphocytic infiltration by means of air valve effect causes bronchiolar obstruction, hich leads to the formation of the cysts. The cysts are also found in chronic HP. The rupture of a cyst often causes a pneumothorax. A case of chronic HP is presented. The first signs of the disease were noted in the childhood at the age of 10. But the final accurate diagnosis was not established until the age of 40. The patient repeatedly referred to pulmonology and tuberculosis medical institutions, where she was diagnosed with idiopathic fibrosing alveolitis, idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, suspected tuberculosis, mainly based on the description of radiographs and tomograms. Later, all these diagnoses were cancelled. The diagnosis was verified only by morphological examination of a fragment of the lung tissue obtained during surgery for pneumothorax on the left. At that time the disease has acquired its chronic course. A retrospective analysis of the course of the disease and the reasons for delayed diagnosis was carried out. Key words: hypersensitivity pneumonitis, clinical course, diagnostics.

Authors: Subasinghe Dona Wilani Dynatra , Balloo Kieran , Dale Emily , Lygo-Baker Simon , La Ragione Roberto , Chambers Mark
Published: March 2024

Purpose:

Simulation-based medical education has changed the teaching of clinical practice skills, with scenario-based simulations being particularly effective in supporting learning in veterinary medicine. In this study, we explore the efficacy of simulation education to teach infection prevention and control (IPC) as part of Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) teaching for early years clinical veterinary medicine undergraduates.

Methods:

The intervention was designed as a 30-minute workshop with a simulation and script delivered online for 130 students as a part of hybrid teaching within the undergraduate curriculum. Learning outcome measures were compared between an intervention group and waitlist-control group using one-way between-groups analysis of covariance tests.

Results:

Significant differences between groups were found for outcomes measures related to short-term knowledge gain and confidence in IPC and AMS in small animal clinical practice. However, lateral knowledge transfer to large animal species clinical practice showed no significant differences. Student feedback indicated that the intervention was an enjoyable and engaging way to learn AMS.

Conclusions:

The intervention provided short-term knowledge gain in IPC protocols and enhanced procedural skills via active learning and motivation to learn in large groups of students. Future improvements would be to include large animal clinical scenario discussions and evaluate longer-term knowledge gain.

1 La transdisciplina y sus desafíos a la universidad
Authors: Luengo González Enrique
Published: March 2024

La compleja trama de la realidad y los retos que implica para el conocimiento la resolución de sus diversas problemáticas están presionando a las universidades y a los centros de investigación a salir del círculo cerrado de las disciplinas, para aceptar, con humildad, que ningún fenómeno, ningún acontecimiento, ningún problema, es reducible al saber de una sola disciplina. No sólo es necesario sino también deseable cierto grado de especialización del conocimiento. El peligro es asumir que ese conocimiento no guarda relación alguna con otros conocimientos, o pensar que se puede seguir estudiando un objeto sin relación con su contexto. Buscar disciplinariamente la solución a un problema puede aliviar temporalmente sus síntomas. Sin embargo, a largo plazo, será más efectivo considerar sus interrelaciones con otros aspectos vinculados al mismo y con el contexto en el que se manifiesta.
Quiet children and adolescents: understanding and helping youth with selective mutism
Authors: Zebdi Rafika , Monsillion Jessica
Published: March 2024

Anxiety in children and adolescents can manifest itself in many ways. In the social context, some young people are so anxious that they find it impossible to express themselves. Selective mutism then becomes an obstacle to their development. Families, school, and clinics are often at a loss for information about this rare disorder. What are the keys to understanding and therapeutic levers?The multiplicity of these young people's profiles will be illustrated through the clinical vignettes of Melody (3), Jeanne (8) and Sammy (15). Reliable and effective intervention strategies and tools are presented to help children regain their ability to speak.The progress made by children who have already benefited from the help strategies which mainly combine CBT and systemic process-based interventions in individual and/or family formats, reinforces our view that these approaches deserve the interest, support and sound advice of the school.

Exploring the Convergence of Macroeconomic Variables and Market Capitalization in an Emerging Economy: An Empirical Analysis Using Arbitrage Pricing Theory
Authors: Dewri Leo Vashkor , Chowdhury Noyel Nafis Sadik
Published: March 2024

This study delves into the interaction between macroeconomic variables and market capitalization in Emerging Capital Markets, i.e., Bangladesh. We examine the effects of the invest-to-deposit ratio (IDR) by financial institutions, market interest rate (MKTINT), and Consumer Price Index (CPI) on market capitalization (MAKTCAP). This study utilizes a dataset spanning 83 months, encompassing the period from 2015 to 2021. The macroeconomic influence is examined empirically by using the Arellano–Bover/Blundell–Bond generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator, supplemented by the ordinary least squares (OLS) and weighted least squares regression (WLS). Also, use Breusch-Pagan and Cook-Weisberg tests to measure heteroskedasticity in the model. The findings show a strong correlation between IDR and MAKTCAP, pointing to IDR as the most important yet overlooked factor influencing capital market returns. However, MKTINT and CPI results address a negative relationship with MAKTCAP. Higher IDR indicates that the capital market receives more cash flow to enhance market capitalization. At the same time, lowering MKTINT and CPI enables the capital market to get more money flow.
A Generalized Space-Efficient Algorithm for Quantum Bit String Comparators
Authors: Shahzad Khuram , Khan Omar
Published: March 2024

Quantum Bit String Comparators (QBSC) operate on two sequences of n-qubits, enabling the determination of their relationships, such as equality, greater than, or less than. This is analogous to the way conditional statements are used in programming languages. Consequently, QBSCs play a crucial role in various algorithms that can be executed or adapted for quantum computers. The development of efficient and generalized comparators for any \(n\)-qubit length has long posed a challenge, as they have a high-cost footprint and lead to quantum delays.

Comparators that are efficient are associated with inputs of fixed length. As a result, comparators without a generalized circuit cannot be employed at a higher level, though they are well-suited for problems with limited size requirements. In this paper, we introduce a generalized design for the comparison of two \(n\)-qubit logic states using just two ancillary bits. The design is examined on the basis of qubit requirements, ancillary bit usage, quantum cost, quantum delay, gate operations, and circuit complexity, and is tested comprehensively on various input lengths. The work allows for sufficient flexibility in the design of quantum algorithms, which can accelerate quantum algorithm development.
A Corpus Based Analysis of the Temporal Converb Clauses in Turkish
Authors: Baydal Doğan , Yarar Emine
Published: March 2024

The studies in cognitive and psycholinguistics have reported that the sentential position of converb clauses which are part of adverbial clauses is influenced by syntactic, semantic and discourse factors (Diessel, 2005, 2008; Verstraete, 2004; Wiechmann & Kerz, 2013). One of the semantic factors is the iconicity of sequence and the related iconicity principle states that linguistic structures mostly mirror the structure of conceptual order (Croft, 2003). In other words, the meaning relationships that the linguistic structures bear has an effect on the positioning of those structures. For example, the temporal meaning relationship that a construction has can have an effect on the linear structure of this construction. This study aims at investigating the positioning variations of temporal converb clauses in Turkish and at revealing whether or not it is consistent with the iconicity principle. There are several endings used as temporal converb clauses in Turkish. In the study, the following nine converb endings are analysed: -(y)IncA (when), -DığIndA (when), -DIğI zaman (when), -ken (while), -(A/I) r…-mAz (as soon as), -DIğIndAn beri (since), -mAdAn önce (before), -DIktAn sonra (after), and –DikçA (whenever). The data of the study were collected from the Turkish National Corpus (TNC) (Aksan et al., 2012) which contains 50 million words. After identifying 9000 samples of temporal converbs, these were first grouped based on the endings mentioned above. Then the data were analysed using chi-square test. The 2×3 X² analysis was employed to see the correlations between conceptual order and linear structure. The findings of the study show that temporal converb clauses in Turkish generally have a tendency to appear before the main clause. The clauses expressing priority, namely -(y)IncA (when), -DiğIndA (when), -DIğI zaman (when), -(A/I) r…-mAz (as soon as), -DIğIndAn beri (since) and -DIktAn sonra (after) and the clauses expressing simultaneity, namely, -DiğIndA (when), -DIğI zaman (when), -ken (while) and –DıkçA (whenever) are found to precede the main clauses, which is in line with iconic clause order. The converb constructions expressing posteriority, such as –DiğIndA (when), -DIğI zaman (when) and -mAdAn önce (before) appear to precede the main clause, which is not supported by the iconicity principle. These findings suggest that the iconicity of sequence has a role in the placement of temporal converb clauses in Turkish.
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Feature Selection Methods Combined with Regression Algorithms to Predict Particulate Matter (PM10) in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India
Authors: Thakker Zalak L , Buch Sanjay H.
Published: March 2024

Feature selection is one of the important data pre-processing techniques that are used to increase the performance of machine learning models, to build faster and more cost-effective algorithms, and to make it easier to interpret the predictions made by the models. The main objective of this research work is to investigate the influence features to predict particulate matter (PM10). This research uses 24-hour average pollutant concentration data of 36 air quality monitoring stations provided by Gandhinagar Smart City Development Limited (GSCDL), Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Important features were identified using five feature selection techniques (correlation, forward selection, backward elimination, Exhaustive Feature Selection (EFS), and feature importance derived using Random Forest Regressor). With selected features six regression algorithms (Multiple Linear Regression, Random Forest, Decision Tree, K-nearest Neighbour, XGBoost, and Support Vector Regressor) were trained to predict PM10. Further, the models were compared based on the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Coefficient of determination (R2) parameters to identify the model with good performance. This proposed model can be utilized as an early warning system, providing air quality information to local authorities to develop air-quality improvement initiatives.

Published: March 2024

The student digital startup business development incubation program is one of the initiatives implemented to support the development of innovative and sustainable student businesses. This program aims to help students realize their competitive and sustainable business potential. Analysis of the entrepreneurial situation at the University of North Sumatra is currently in the process of development, marked by a large number of new young entrepreneurs from various entrepreneurial programs both internal to the university and outside the university, such as the Young Entrepreneurs program (PMW), Student Creativity Program (PKM), it known that in 2022 there will be 12 PKM funding for the entrepreneurship scheme, apart from that there were also three program winning entrepreneurs (P2MW). The problem is that there are limitations in opening up networking opportunities and market access for students just starting a business. There is a need for education from campuses and assistance regarding good business financial management, and there is still a need to improve sustainable entrepreneurship programs for students. There is a lack of qualified mentors or other resources and support. So, every startup from campus that has just started a business immediately loses enthusiasm and motivation because there is no continuous assistance. The method used to resolve this problem is assistance to improve student startup skills in providing competent human resources, financial assistance, and financial management literacy for student startups, providing facilities in the form of booths and business facilities, training and guidance to improve business management skills, and marketing. This program's online and offline results are characterized by opening up valuable opportunities for students to develop digital business ideas and promote sustainable business principles, allowing student businesses to contribute to sustainable growth.

Перетворення та зміни в Україні зумовлюють нові підходи до професійної підготовки здобувача освіти. Такий напрям туристичної діяльності, як анімація набуває активного розвитку в усьому світі як засіб у конкурентній боротьбі між подібними за рівнем сервісу, надання послуг та облаштуванням інтер’єрів готелів та туристичних комплексів. Поняття анімація вживають у багатьох сферах людської діяльності та вимагає уточнень у структурі та змісту підготовки майбутніх фахівців, що будуть проводити анімаційні заходи. Проводячи аналіз витоків анімаційної діяльності, які ведуть від 50 років минулого сторіччя з’ясовано, що цей вид послуги виник як відповідь на конкуренцію, адже головні завдання аніматора полягають у утворенні комфортної, дружньої і гостинної атмосфери у закладі, задоволенні потреб гостей у духовно-культурному, емоційному і фізичному комфорті, формуванні умов для приємної комунікації й проведення дозвілля. Анімація – це додаткові послуги, що надаються гостям готелів, туристичних баз, таборів і інших закладів дозвілля та відпочинку припускають, разом із добре організованими проживанням, харчуванням, створити найбільш комфортні умови для відпочинку. Раціонально організовані анімаційні послуги не залишають гостя без належної уваги, він постійно зайнятий тим, що його тішить, викликає позитивні емоції, формує позитивний настрій і збуджує бажання повертатися до таких емоцій знову і знову. В анімації використовують активні види відпочинку, до яких належать рухливі спортивні ігри, плавання, біг, піші прогулянки, аеробіка, скелелазіння, туристичні походи, і пасивні – читання, риболовля, заняття музикою, садівництво, комп’ютерні ігри, відвідування стадіонів, концертів, виставок, музеїв, огляд пам’ятників архітектури, історії й культури. З позицій сьогодення набуває значущості та потребує вирішення проблема ефективної професійної підготовки майбутніх аніматорів, спроможних здійснювати діяльність у закладах відпочинку та оздоровлення.

I diritti fondamentali tra giurisdizioni europee e nazionali
Authors: Conti Roberto
Published: March 2024

Il contributo affronta il tema della tutela dei diritti fondamentali offrendo una chiave di lettura orientata a sottolineare il valore delle relazioni che a vario livello si intrecciano con sempre maggiore frequenza fra giudici nazionali e sovranazionali, in esse individuando una caratteristica nuova dell'attività giurisdizionale che va sempre di più emergendo in una prospettiva di cooperazione per alimentare la quale i giudici spesso non decidono la controversia ma si adoperano in vario modo attraverso istituti di vecchia e nuova fattura affinché la decisione finale sia sempre di più orientata alla salvaguardia dei valori fondamentali della persona umana.
I diritti sociali nell'ordinamento multilivello (fra Unione europea e costituzioni nazionali)
Authors: Gambino Silvio
Published: March 2024

Con l'incorporazione della Carta dei diritti fondamentali nei ‘nuovi' trattati dell'Unione si registra una più compiuta positivizzazione dei diritti fondamentali (civili e sociali) ma non può ancora affermarsi che i cataloghi di tali diritti corrispondano ai (più evoluti) cataloghi dei diritti tutelati dalle costituzioni nazionali. La giurisprudenza in tema di rapporti fra diritti sociali e libertà economiche eurounitarie lo chiarisce bene, al contempo sollevando la complessa questione della pretesa primazia generalizzata del diritto primario dell'Unione su quello costituzionale nazionale, che ha già trovato prime risposte nella ‘dottrina dei controlimiti' da parte delle corti costituzionali europee e più di recente una innovativa giurisprudenza del Giudice costituzionale interno volta a valorizzare il giudice nazionale come ‘giudice europeo' nella promozione del ‘dialogo' fra le corti. In tale quadro, non può negarsi che, se la disciplina eurounitaria dei diritti sociali non contrasta, di certo non corrisponde, nel fondo, alla sua concezione negli ordinamenti costituzionali nazionali a base sociale. A fronte di un simile quadro, ora dischiuso dal multilevel constitutionalism ma non ancora pienamente appagante, parrebbe che la natura imprecisa e incerta di talune disposizioni della Carta europea dei diritti fondamentali potrebbe essere superata con una loro innovata positivizzazione in un più compiuto catalogo di diritti sociali, all'interno di una rivisitata Carta dei diritti fondamentali. La ‘circolazione dei diritti' e, più in generale, lo stesso ‘processo di integrazione europeo' ne potrebbero utilmente beneficiare.

Difetto di conformità dei servizi inclusi in un pacchetto turistico a causa del Covid-19 e adeguata riduzione del prezzo
Authors: Carota Lisia
Published: March 2024

Per la Corte di Giustizia quando un difetto di conformità dei servizi turistici inclusi in un pacchetto turistico sia dovuto a restrizioni imposte nel luogo di destinazione del viaggiatore per contrastare la diffusione di una malattia in-fettiva e tali restrizioni siano state imposte anche nel luogo di residenza di quest'ultimo e in altri paesi a causa del carattere pandemico di tale malattia, il viaggiatore ha diritto a una riduzione del prezzo del suo pacchetto turistico. Per essere adeguata, tale riduzione di prezzo deve essere valutata con rifer-imento ai servizi inclusi nel pacchetto considerato e corrispondere al valore dei servizi rispetto ai quali il difetto di conformità sia stato accertato.
L'albergatore deve comunicare all'autorità di p.s. le generalità delle persone alloggiate e l'omissione costituisce (ancora) una condotta penalmente rilevante
Authors: Bisanti Filippo
Published: March 2024

Il commento esamina la decisione della Corte di Cassazione chiamata nuovamente a pronunciarsi in ordine alla rilevanza penale della condotta dell'omessa comunicazione all'autorità di pubblica sicurezza delle generalità dei clienti da parte del preposto alla conduzione di un albergo. La sentenza coglie l'occasione di ripercorrere interamente la tormentata evoluzione nor-mativa dell'art. 109 t.u.l.p.s., che nell'ultimo trentennio è stato protagonista di molteplici riforme che di riflesso hanno generato dubbi ermeneutici.
Endogenous rural development planning. Case: Vereda El Vergel in Palmor - Ciénaga Magdalena, Colombia
Authors: Manjarrés Tete Arleth Esther , De La Hoz Suárez Aminta Isabel , Urzola Berrio Hector
Published: March 2024

In Colombia, the agricultural sector is a strategic point to generate development in the territories; but few governmental actions are implemented to achieve it, therefore, the objective of this research is to explain how the rural development of Vereda Vergel in Palmor-Ciénaga Magdalena, Colombia, has taken place based on the productive activities developed by its inhabitants under the criterion of governance of the community itself focused on its welfare. Methodologically, it is classified as a descriptive-explanatory field study with a qualitative approach, following the theoretical postulates of Alburquerque (2007) and Martínez de Anguita (2006). As a data collection technique, an interview script was applied to a focus group formed by farmers of the village. The main finding shows that there is no planning in the territory to promote the rural development generated within the community; however, the community diversifies its productive activity in fruit and bread crops such as lemon, mango, strawberry, coffee, yucca, yams; on the other hand, animal husbandry: chickens, ducks, pigs and cows, as well as beekeeping activities. In this sense, all the primary production and handcrafted processed products
L'algoritmo sregolato al servizio dell'(in)efficienza del settore pubblico
Authors: Rodio Nico Lorenzo
Published: March 2024

Il sistema pubblico italiano necessita di un ammodernamento che permetta, soprattutto nelle operazioni standardizzate e ripetitive, di efficientare i procedimenti e di garantire un indirizzamento delle risorse economiche statali nei settori più delicati che necessitano di impiegare operatori umani. Il principale problema dell'impiego di nuove tecnologie, prettamente basate sugli algoritmi, sorge nel momento in cui si deve fare riferimento ad un quadro normativo che ad oggi risulta assai carente. Sul punto la giurisprudenza amministrativa ha iniziato a creare un indirizzo decisionale pressoché uniforme nel tentativo di sopperire all'assenza del legislatore e per fare sì che le disposizioni già vigenti (su tutte vedasi la Legge n. 241 del 1990) siano rispettate dalle Pubbliche Amministrazioni per tutelare i diritti fondamentali dei cittadini.
The resilience of the regional ecosystems: Healthcare-service organizations, public agents and communities in the times of COVID-19
Authors: Troisi Roberta , De Simone Stefania , Franco Massimo
Published: March 2024

The aim of this study is to compare regional ecosystems' resilience in terms of their ability to contain the spread of Covid-19. This is carried out through institutional measures as well as through spontaneous community behaviour in order to preserve public health and the institutional actions to strengthen the health-care system in dealing with the pandemic. The discussion is framed through the institutional approach. We develop a twostep method. In the first step, regions have been clustered by considering the kind of response to Covid-19, in terms of formal and informal rules. In the second step a random effect panel regression analysis was performed in order to define the effect of the single response variable to Covid-19 on the resilience index over time. Implications for policy makers are then discussed. The first is that coping with a regional emergency requires taking into account regional specificities. Strictly imitative models risk being inconsistent with the characteristics of the area, resulting in outputs that are not homogeneous. The second involves social capital, which is crucial to the application of the norms. In regions with high social capital there is a sense of solidarity that presents itself in informal rules aimed at reinforcing the formal rules. However, there is no sense of conformity for the sake of conformance to the standard.
