MARCO NORMATIVO DE LA IA. PROTECCIÓN DE DERECHOS FUNDAMENTALES EN EL CONTEXTO DE LA IA
Authors: Pardo López María M.
Published: October 2024

El crecimiento de la capacidad informática, la disponibilidad de datos y los avances en los algoritmos, han convertido la IA en una de las tecnologías más estratégicas del s. XXI. La IA ha dado lugar a la aparición de nuevas formas de desarrollo de la prestación laboral, fuera de los esquemas clásicos del contrato de trabajo. La gestión algorítmica implica el uso de técnicas de IA para planificar y gestionar los recursos humanos de una empresa. Ante ello, los juristas están obligados conceptualizar en clave jurídica el fenómeno, reconocer derechos y facultades donde corresponda, detectar posibles riesgos y peligros y, en consonancia, proponer requisitos, condiciones y límites al su uso de la IA, y este es el fin es el que pretenden conseguir los autores de esta obra. En la monografía se analiza de una forma minuciosa el Reglamento Europeo de IA desde la perspectiva de Derecho del Trabajo, y con diferentes vértices: evaluaciones de riesgo, selección de personal, sesgos y discriminación, prevención de riesgos laborales. Por otro lado, sobre las nuevas formas de trabajo, se estudian los empleos verdes, la regulación europea de plataformas digitales, la relación de las TICs con el derecho a la conciliación de la vida familiar y laboral. En definitiva, una obra de sumo interés para profesionales del Derecho, que puede ayudar a comprender la regulación actual, los derechos del trabajador, las obligaciones del empresario y las carencias normativas existentes.

The current scenario brings an imminent fear of not having water for anything. In this situation, alternatives emerge to recycle this precious resource. The objective of this monograph is to provide an example of implementing a system that can capture and store rainwater for reuse in household tasks such as toilet flushing, watering plants, and washing yards, among other tasks that do not require potable water. During dry months, the stored water can be used for these tasks, bringing financial benefits as well as helping the environment. The implementation of the system and its importance in today’s world are shown, along with the components used to capture and treat this water in a basic way. The chosen measure for storing this water and distributing it to the areas of interest is also presented, along with information related to precipitation and the calculations used to understand the project’s feasibility. The benefits and drawbacks of using the method are presented, highlighting the importance of the system and water collection and possible problems that may arise for the user, with information from renowned authors on the importance of maintaining water quality. It was found that the system is effective even in areas with low precipitation. Therefore, there will be numerous environmental improvements, as well as savings in the consumption of treated water supplied by utilities when choosing to implement the rainwater harvesting and storage system.

Posibilidad de existencia del enfoque emocional de la investigación científica fundamentado desde la neurociencia
Authors: Melero Rosario , Urribarri M Alexander J.
Published: October 2024

La generación de teoría, no obstante que su propósito non plus ultra sea mejorar la calidad de vida, ha sido limitada en su potencial de estudio del mundo, bajo el argumento de una “objetividad”, condición orientada ahora hacia una concepción trans-disciplinaria y multidimensional, gracias a los avances de la neurociencia, en lo relativo a la intensa imbricación anatómica, fisiológica, química y de funcionamiento cerebral, a saber: básico, límbico y neo-cortical, por ello en este papel se fundamentó la existencia de un enfoque emocional de investigación científica y un paradigma de la biología del conocer, con base en los argumentos de Rivero y Padrón quienes postulan que enfoque de investigación y estilos de pensamiento son correspondientes. Por su parte Goleman afirma que el hallazgo neuro- científico más relevante, es que el sistema cerebral humano está orientado a interconectarse con los demás, esa condición determina la sociabilidad humana. En este mismo orden de argumentación, Maturana manifiesta que desde la objetividad “entre paréntesis”, cada sistema racional está fundado en premisas no racionales, es decir está fundado en preferencias emocionales, cierra Damasio señalando que el cerebro que los genera, se niega a entregar sus secretos si la emoción y los numerosos fenómenos que se ocultan detrás de esa palabra, no es tenida en cuenta y tratada como se merece.

Authors: Nthiga Gloria Karambu , Moi Edina
Published: October 2024

Makueni County has been touted as having the best public participation framework in Kenya and possibly in Africa. The framework has been commended to the extent that the World Bank has recommended other County Governments in the Country to embrace the model in an effort to make sure adequate involvement of the public in county development agendas. However, little research has been conducted to examine the effect that utilization of the framework has on the implementation of CDF projects in the county considering its associated expenses. This study therefore sought to determine the effect of public participation on the execution of CDF projects in Makueni County, Kenya. The descriptive research design was adopted. Only a small proportion of the participants indicated that they were involved in the execution of projects in the sub-county. However, most of the respondents indicated that they were satisfied with the execution of public projects in the area. The involvement of the participants in execution of project was rather active where participants were given jobs during the execution of projects in the area. Concerning the satisfaction, most of the respondents believed that their influence in the development agenda of the region was either average or above average. The study concluded that public participation had a substantial effect on the execution of public projects. It was recommended that Makueni County could explore other ways of expanding the role of public participation to its electorate. This study has showed that the county has made commendable strides in involving the people in the execution of public project. Similar efforts might be needed to expand the participation in other issue such as formulation of new policies.
Public-Private Partnerships and Agriculture: A Review of Sorghum Production in Meru County, Kenya
Authors: Kale Elinah , Mbataru (PhD) Patrick
Published: October 2024

Despite being a major source of income and the basis of economic development, agriculture still faces many challenges that have led to low yields. Inadequate access to extension services, low funding, and lack of markets, among others, explain the yield gaps in many developing countries. It is for this that many countries are resulting in Public-Private Partnership in trying to boost agricultural production.  This study sought to establish the effect of public-private partnerships on sorghum production in Meru County. The study sought to achieve four objectives: to establish the role of farmer groups, farmer training, private markets, and provision of farming inputs for sorghum production. A descriptive research design was adopted for the study. A randomly selected sample of 134 farmers and seven key informants from PPP actors were engaged during the study. The study findings indicated that the majority of the participants had received farming training, inputs, and credit/financial support through the public-private partnership. The study also showed that there were new markets because of the public-private partnerships. The participants indicated that the farming training, inputs, and availability of markets led to an increase in sorghum production. The findings further showed that farmer training had the greatest effect on sorghum production, followed by private markets, followed by farmer groups, and lastly provision of farming inputs. The study concluded that, through public-private partnerships, small-holder farmers improved their sorghum production. The study recommended the need for the development of a framework that would encourage the formation and implementation of more public-private partnerships in the agriculture sector.
The Influence of Internal Locus of Control and Entrepreneurial Skills Training on the Growth of Micro and Small Enterprises in Bomet County, Kenya
Authors: Mibey Joel Kiprono , Ngugi Prof. Patrick Karanja , Juma Dr. Dennis
Published: October 2024

There is an ongoing argument that internal locus of control of business owners or managers can be related to the growth and survival of the business. The internal locus of control might be affecting the growth of enterprises as internal locus of control of an entrepreneur differs from the characteristics of a non-entrepreneur Some researchers have tried to define success in terms of turnover, sustainability, and growth. Some researchers have observed that entrepreneurial traits are indicators of success. The general research issue that has to be addressed in this study is the fact that, in addition to financing and markets, there are additional variables impacting the high mortality rate and stunted growth of micro and small firms in Kenya, particularly in Bomet County. So, this study will look at the connection between the development of micro and small businesses in Bomet County and internal locus of control. In this study, the moderating impact of training in entrepreneurial skills will be examined. The target population was micro and small enterprises in Bomet County which were 14,574 in number in 2016. The unit of observation was the managers and owners of these enterprises. The unit of analysis in the micro and small enterprises in Bomet County and their growth over the past five years.  The study used a stratified sampling technique to pick the respondents from the manufacturing, trade, and services strata of micro and small enterprises. The sample size was 384 micro and small enterprises. Data was collected using a questionnaire. Data collection was done by administering the instrument to the owners or managers of the enterprises.  The data was processed using computer software. The association between the internal locus of control of entrepreneurs and the expansion of businesses was established using a multiple regression model. The main conclusions were that the expansion of businesses in Kenya's Bomet County is influenced by internal locus of control. The study's main advice is that the key participants in the firms should train to develop the traits of owners and managers. This study also suggests that not everyone can succeed as an entrepreneur. Resources and a methodology should be available to find future entrepreneurs. The necessary resources cannot be accessed before identification.
The Effects of Diaspora Remittances on Household Agro Farming in Kericho County, Kenya
Authors: Sang Victor , Kiruthu Felix
Published: October 2024

The diaspora constitutes millions of people from developing countries living outside their country of birth. These people have migrated to other countries in search of better opportunities or as a result of socioeconomic and political challenges. As part of maintaining their connections with relatives in their home country, these migrants continuously send money to their families for support. Remittances channeled by persons living in the diaspora into their indigenous jurisdictions have become a source of capital in under-developing economies which have significantly enhanced socio-welfare as well presenting families with better opportunities for income generation. The current study sought to examine how these Diaspora remittances affect livelihoods in Kericho County. The study specifically examined the effects of diaspora remittances on household agro-farming and their subsequent effect on promotion of livelihoods in Kericho County Kenya. The focus of the study was the residents of Kericho County who are beneficiaries of diaspora remittances. The study was anchored on pure altruism and rational choice theories. A descriptive research design was employed. A total of 1393 households of the emigrants were targeted. From the target population, the study sampled 10% (139 respondents) who were selected using a convenience sampling technique. The study obtained a 98% response rate. The research findings showed that household agro-farming had a positive effect on the livelihood promotion within Kericho County at 92.2% (adjusted R2=0.922). The study concludes that diaspora remittances have a positive effect on the agro-farming aspects of livelihood promotion among residents of Kericho County who received them. The study thus concludes that diaspora remittances improved the economic lives of recipients by improving their agricultural productivity and giving them access to agro-products. The study recommends that there is need for the Kenyan government to work towards ensuring policies that ensures smooth flow of diaspora remittances and come up with ways of motivating and attracting remittances into Kenyan economy. The study also recommends that the Kenyan government comes up with interventions and incentives to encourage foreign remittances as it increases Agro Farmers disposable income and the utilize it to improve Agro farming. Finally, the study recommends that Kenyans living in Diaspora invest their income in their mother land by sending remittances.
Narsaq - a Norse landnáma farm
Authors: Vebæk C. L.
Published: October 2024

This publication only deals with the archaeological results of the excavations which the author carried out at the Norse farm registered as 0 17a, Narsaq, in the Norse Eastern Settlement. The excavations took place in the years 1954, 1958 and 1962, and although three expeditions were devoted to this farm alone, we actually only succeeded in excavating the dwelling of the farm. The author very much regrets that the whole farm was not investigated. But it gives me some satisfaction to be able to say that the results of the excavation of the dwelling can be considered very important and interesting. We were able to ascertain that the dwelling was a long-house with rooms in one single row, and that it represented (at least) two building periods, and very possibly more. Furthermore, we found in the house a quite unique combined water-supply and draining system for the rooms, representing two or three building periods. Among the many finds of objects of all kinds there were a number made of wood and stone with runic inscriptions - among them a unique, very long rune-stick.
Besides the objects with runic inscriptions there were quite a number of fragments of textiles - some of them never seen before in Greenland - and there were many ornamented objects of bone, tusk and wood. Among the tools and weapons there was a fine series of arrowheads of caribou antler. A considerable number of the objects found permit a dating in the late Viking/very early medieval age - in other words the landnáma period. And this dating (c. 1000 AD) is confirmed by radiocarbon analyses. Finally it must be mentioned that there were also a great many animal bones.
It will easily be understood that this comprehensive material needed the cooperation of several specialists, so there will be separate sections in this book: on runic inscriptions, on textiles, on radiocarbon datings and on animal bones. My collaborators have been Marie Stoklund and Else 0stergard from Denmark, Penelope Walton Rogers from England, and Thomas H. McGovern, Thomas Amorosi, Gerald Bigelow, James Woollett, and Sophia Perdikaris from the United States.

This study pays particular attention to the identification of interconnections and recurring patterns in the evolution of regulatory frameworks pertaining to information support for control activities across the entire span of the Russian legal system's existence. Furthermore, the delineation of the established model of informatization is undertaken, and the resolution of discrete legal issues is pursued through a comprehensive analysis of the regulatory framework and doctrinal sources. In 2023, the regulatory authority initiated a novel undertaking: the formulation of a unified data model for state control. However, with the advent of new systems, a shift has occurred in the approach to automation, as well as in the philosophy of control, which has gradually transitioned towards an "informational" or "digital" dimension. The article employs a range of scientific research methods, including analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, analogy, and specialised methods such as historical-legal, dogmatic, and comparative-legal. The principal method is a relatively rarely employed technique of legal modelling, which enables us to hypothesise the trajectory of the regulation of the informatisation of control activities. The research is distinctive in its capacity to identify and elucidate two historical phases in the evolution of the informatisation of state control. Moreover, it is capable of delineating the fundamental characteristics of the extant model of legal regulation governing the provision of information support for control activities in Russia. Ultimately, it is capable of formulating proposals for deliberation between the regulatory authority and the scientific community regarding the outlines of the prospective digital transformation of state control. One of the article's principal conclusions is the identification of a gradual process by which the regulator has established a unified information space within the domain of state control.

The article is devoted to the legal problems of determining the threat of harm (damage) to legally protected values in the implementation of federal state fire supervision. Some federal laws were analyzed, as well as a number of resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation, orders of federal state bodies, as well as current regulatory legal acts establishing the obligation of officials of the supervisory authorities of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia to make decisions taking into account the presence (absence) of a threat of harm to human life and health; examples from judicial practice are given. The conducted research made it possible to identify problems in the practical implementation of the duties of officials of the supervisory authorities of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. The research methodology included the use of general scientific research methods (synthesis, analysis, generalization) and specialized methods (formal legal, comparative legal, etc.). As a result of the analysis, from a scientific and practical point of view, conclusions are formulated about the absence in the current legislation of a legal mechanism according to which the state inspector for fire supervision has the opportunity to justify by an expert opinion the presence (absence) of a threat to human life and health at a supervised facility in order to conduct an unscheduled control and formulate proposals.
Digital technologies as a tool for strengthening employment and staffing: federal and regional (using the example of Krasnodar Krai) regulation, problems and prospects for application
Authors: Paschenko Ilya Yurievich
Published: October 2024

The scientific research is devoted to aspects of the application of digital technologies in the labor sphere. The author considers technologies as tools of public administration and personnel activities that help to strengthen employment, including regional employment, and also analyzes their impact on the staffing of bodies and organizations in the context of the digital transformation of the state. The relevance of the work is due to the formation of theoretical and legal foundations for the use of digital technologies in this area. The work consists of five sections: federal regulation, regional regulation (using the Krasnodar Territory as an example), grouping of digital technologies according to the criterion of their applicability in personnel work, a description of the problems and risks of using digital technologies, proposals for improving law enforcement practice and the regulatory framework. The study is a comprehensive analysis of the current legal regulation affecting issues of digital transformation of public administration in the field of labor and employment at the federal and regional levels. In the process of studying and analyzing legislation, doctrine and statistical data, general scientific and special legal methods were used. The basis of the methodology used was formed by general logical methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, generalization, deduction, induction), formal legal and comparative legal methods. Scientific novelty lies in the consistently formed conclusions, which are formulated more broadly in the text of the work and supported by specific proposals. Among the proposals that have been developed, the procedure for disclosing information on the use of digital technologies in the field of labor and employment is of particular importance.
Youth Nihilism of the 1950s – 1960s and the conflict of generations: the origins of the ideological split in Russia
Authors: Petrenko Maksim Stepanovich
Published: October 2024

The subject of this study is the historical origins of the modern ideological split in Russia, which is most clearly manifested in the conflict of generations. The beginning of this split dates back to the 1950s and 1960s, when, mainly among young people, under the influence of criticism of the cult of Stalin's personality, a rethinking of all previous political and social experience began, resulting in an ideological and psychological crisis of mass consciousness, one of the manifestations of which was youth nihilism. The purpose of the work is to analyze the ideological split between youth and the older generation in the 1950s and 1960s, which allows us to trace the further evolution and current state of the generational conflict in Russia. The main attention is paid to the characteristics of the socio-psychological state of young people in crisis and their attitude to the adult world. The methodological basis of the research was the theoretical principles of sociological constructivism, associated with the identification of public consciousness as a decisive factor of social interaction, when the subjective perception of reality sets the semantic framework and meanings of social practices. The paper uses a systematic method that allows us to combine narrative analysis with historical and sociological research data. Results: the connection between the ideological split of the period of the "Khrushchev thaw" and the conflict of generations has been revealed. The origins of youth nihilism and the crisis of Soviet identity as a factor of social crisis have been discovered. The conclusion is made about the formation in Russia of a kind of existential vacuum conducive to the reproduction of generational conflict. The novelty of the work is connected with the replacement of the traditional object of research proposed by the author in the study of the conflict of generations. Instead of the usual comparative analysis of ideas, values, orientations of youth and the adult world, an attempt is presented to study the crisis state of society as a decisive factor in the conflict of generations, when youth acts only as a social space in which the ideological crisis and the clash of values receives a favorable living environment and therefore is revealed more clearly. The work can be used for a deeper understanding of the modern ideological split of age groups and the search for practical ways to overcome it.
