Cuestiones controvertidas en la jurisprudencia sobre contratación pública: la ejecución y cumplimiento de los contratos. Especial referencia a la reclamación por "sobrecostes" en la ejecución de los contratos
Authors: Carbonero Redondo Juan José
Published: November 2024

La presente ponencia tiene por objeto, en el seno del curso "contratación del sector público: aspectos sustantivos y procesales con especial referencia a las exigencias derivadas del Derecho de la Unión Europea" -Plan de Formación Continua del CGPJ/2016- el análisis de aquellas cuestiones que, durante la vida del contrato propiamente dicha, durante su fase de ejecución, han suscitado y suscitan mayor controversia, pacificada o no, en la Jurisprudencia contencioso-administrativa. Especial atención se presta a lo largo de estas líneas al tratamiento jurisprudencial del principio de riesgo y ventura como eje vertebrador, tras la adjudicación, de las relaciones entre las partes del contrato, cuyo juego se manifiesta en el mantenimiento del equilibrio económico financiero del contrato. Asimismo, es objeto de estudio particular, la polémica reclamación por sobrecostes en supuestos de irregular cobertura contractual -modificados irregulares, contratos nulos o inexistentes, contratación verbal-, con especial referencia a la aplicación del principio del enriquecimiento injusto que se realiza por la Jurisprudencia. Se analiza, asimismo, la cuestión relativa a la revisión de precios, y el tratamiento jurisprudencial de la cuestión siempre controvertida, si bien cada vez menos, de los intereses de demora y el anatocismo.
Introducción al Derecho internacional de los derechos humanos
Authors: Villán Durán Carlos
Published: November 2024

El DIDH está formado por tratados, costumbres y principios generales de Derecho internacional que imponen a España obligaciones precisas en el campo de los derechos humanos, primando sobre el Derecho interno. La Constitución española reconoce jerarquía supra-legal e infra-constitucional a las normas contenidas en los tratados internacionales ratificados y publicados en el BOE; tales normas son de aplicación directa por los tribunales de justicia. En caso de conflicto con una norma de Derecho interno, la interpretación de los derechos consagrados en la Constitución se debe realizar de conformidad con lo establecido en la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos y en los tratados que hayan sido ratificados por España. El recurso de revisión permitirá solicitar al Tribunal Supremo que rectifique su fallo si la condena procediera del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, pero el vacío legal persiste para asegurar la ejecución en España de decisiones de órganos internacionales de naturaleza cuasi-contenciosa, si bien los tribunales nacionales deben ejercer un control de la convencionalidad. El DIDH reconoce a las víctimas de la Guerra Civil y de la dictadura franquista el derecho a la verdad, la justicia, la reparación y a obtener garantías de no repetición.
Composición, competencia y recomendaciones de la futura comisión de la verdad
Authors: Rodríguez Rodríguez Jorge
Published: November 2024

La creación de una comisión de la verdad que investigue las violaciones de derechos humanos cometidas durante la Guerra Civil y el franquismo ha sido una de las reivindicaciones principales de las víctimas de violaciones a los derechos humanos durante ese período, como forma de concretar el derecho a la verdad del que son titulares tanto las víctimas como la propia sociedad española. A pesar de haber sido sistemáticamente desatendida por el Estado, esta demanda es perfectamente acorde con el Derecho internacional de los derechos humanos vigente para España. Sin embargo, la mera creación de este organismo no bastará para respetar el contenido exigible por el derecho a la verdad según el Derecho internacional; por ello, habremos de remitirnos a las disposiciones tanto de Derecho internacional general como de Derecho internacional convencional, las cuales nos ilustrarán sobre las características principales que ha de tener toda comisión de la verdad que pretenda ajustarse a la legalidad internacional.
De las medidas de seguridad
Authors: Sanz Morán Ángel José
Published: November 2024

La amplia reforma del Código Penal operada por la Ley Orgánica 1/2015, de 30 de marzo, mantiene inalterado el contenido del Título IV de su Libro Primero ("De las medidas de seguridad"), pese a las profundas modificaciones previstas, en relación a esta materia, en el Proyecto de Ley Orgánica publicado en el BOCG. Ello no obsta a la necesidad de revisar críticamente aquellos aspectos de la regulación vigente (tanto sustantivos como procesales) que nos parecen necesitados de una profunda reconsideración legislativa.
Los delitos relacionados con la gestión del patrimonio público
Authors: Adán del Río María del Carmen
Published: November 2024

La LO 1/2015 de 30 de marzo, con vigencia desde el 1/7/2015, ha introducido modificaciones en el Código Penal, en artículos donde, hasta la fecha y dentro del título de los delitos contra la Administración, se ubican algunas de las figuras delictivas, más relacionadas con la gestión del patrimonio público, en concreto los artículos 432 a 442 de dicho texto legal. Es significativo que la reforma haya mantenido estos, y muy especialmente los delitos de malversación, dentro de los delitos contra la Administración, a pesar de voces autorizadas en contra, por lo que supone de posicionamiento del legislador, no por reiterado, menos necesario, de atribución a los delitos contra el patrimonio público de un significado mucho más amplio que el puramente patrimonial.
La responsabilidad contable: nuevas perspectivas
Authors: Cubillo Rodríguez Carlos
Published: November 2024

El presente trabajo recoge los principales aspectos de derecho positivo y jurisprudenciales de la responsabilidad contable objeto de enjuiciamiento por el Tribunal de Cuentas. El examen de dicho modelo de responsabilidad jurídica se aborda analizando, en primer lugar, sus requisitos, particularmente la concurrencia de una gestión ilegal y dolosa o gravemente negligente generadora de un menoscabo en el patrimonio público. También se estudia la naturaleza jurídica de la responsabilidad contable y la relevancia práctica de dicha naturaleza, tanto a efectos jurídico-materiales como jurídico-formales. El trabajo examina igualmente los conceptos y el régimen jurídico de las distintas responsabilidades contables: por alcance o distintas de alcance y directas o subsidiarias. Otra cuestión objeto de estudio es la que se refiere a las principales áreas de la actividad económico-financiera del Sector Público en las que aparece con mayor frecuencia la responsabilidad contable: contratación pública, subvenciones y otras ayudas públicas, urbanismo, gastos de personal, gastos de representación y protocolo e ingresos públicos. Finalmente se analiza el régimen jurídico de la prescripción de la responsabilidad contable, con su regla general, sus reglas especiales y sus causas de interrupción, así como la transmisión de este tipo de responsabilidad a los causahabientes del responsable contable. El tratamiento de estas cuestiones no solo se aborda, como ya se ha dicho, desde la perspectiva de derecho positivo y jurisprudencial, sino también desde un enfoque "de lege ferenda", que incluye sugerencias de cambio legislativo basadas en una reflexión sobre el régimen jurídico vigente.

La determinación de edad en el expediente administrativo y en el Centro de Internamiento de Extranjeros (CIE)
Authors: Lafont Nicuesa Luis
Published: November 2024

La determinación de la minoría de edad de un extranjero se resuelve en nuestro ordenamiento a través de un conjunto de normas sectoriales que silencian el tratamiento que debe darse a las alegaciones de minoría de edad en el expediente de internamiento y en los centros de internamiento de extranjeros. La situación se agrava en este último supuesto ante los numerosos órganos que con competencias en la materia confluyen -jueces de instrucción, contencioso-administrativos, de control de estancia, de guardia, fiscales, policías- sin normas competenciales precisas. La ponencia pretende aportar respuestas a las preguntas de si siempre es preciso acordar pruebas médicas, qué órganos pueden practicar diligencias de determinación de edad y cuales pueden acordar el cese del internamiento por minoría de edad. Asimismo, se insiste en la importancia de que cualquier autorización de pruebas médicas debe ir precedida del conocimiento fehaciente, a través de bases de datos centralizadas, de las ya realizadas con anterioridad.

Tema 4. La nueva regulación del estatuto de la víctima
Authors: Hernández Rueda María Dolores
Published: November 2024

El Estatuto de la víctima ha supuesto en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico la primera regulación global de los derechos de las víctimas de delitos, que se suma a las normas especiales aplicables a las víctimas de determinados delitos. Supone una continuidad en la preocupación por la protección social y procesal de las víctimas, otorgando especial protagonismo a las víctimas dentro del proceso penal, más allá de las previsiones de la Directiva Europea que la norma traspone, con difícil encaje procesal y dificultades materiales de aplicación: como las relativas a intervención activa sin necesidad de personación procesal, el derecho al recurso sin estar personadas, la posibilidad de recurrir resoluciones en el régimen de cumplimiento de penas, impugnar ante el juez de instrucción la negativa policial a facilitar interpretación o traducción, entre otros aspectos novedosos.

The Factors of Brand Reputation in Chinese Luxury Fashion Brands
Authors: Li Chi , Tang Yingda
Published: November 2024

This study employs an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression approach to investigate the impact of digitalization, innovation, marketing, and social media presence on the brand reputation of Chinese luxury fashion brands listed on the Shenzhen and Shanghai Stock Exchanges from 2012 to 2022. The findings of this study reveal that digitalization, marketing, and social media presence positively influence brand reputation, while innovation negatively affects it, suggesting that certain innovative designs may mislead consumers. Heterogeneity analyses based on fashion cycle, industry group, and firm size further indicate that these factors have varying impacts depending on the brand’s specific characteristics. For example, digitalization and social media are more impactful for small-sized and footwear brands, while marketing has a stronger effect on large-sized apparel brands. Policy implications suggest that luxury fashion brands should align their strategies with these findings, particularly by emphasizing digitalization and social media presence to enhance brand reputation, and cautiously approach innovation to align with consumer expectations.

INTERCORRÊNCIAS NO USO ESTÉTICO DA TOXINA BOTULÍNICA FACIAL
Authors: Santos Tiago dos
Published: November 2024

Botulinum toxin, the causal agent of botulism, is the fermentation product of the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum. Toxins exist in 8 types, although in Brazil, only type A has ANVISA approval for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. Due to its versatility and specific mechanism of action, it has become a great option for both therapeutic and cosmetic use worldwide, given the great potential in relation to its minimally invasive technique. Botulinum toxin injections treat aesthetic problems induced or aggravated by muscle contraction, controlling local neurotransmission. However, there are some risks and possible complications arising from its use. The present study, carried out in the form of a narrative review, aimed to describe the possible complications arising from the therapeutic and cosmetic use of the toxin for facial rejuvenation. To this end, studies published in the last 10 years were selected, retrieved from the Google Scholar and CAPES databases that addressed the topic. In addition to complications at the injection site, such as erythema, edema, pain, ptosis of the eyelid or eyebrow and ecchymosis, there is a group of aesthetic and functional adverse effects associated with different muscular responses to botulinum toxin or its migration. These complications occur less frequently than injection-associated reactions, but their risks and consequences are potentially greater. There are no reports of serious or fatal complications resulting from the cosmetic use of botulinum toxin. Complications depend on the technique used, so it is important to have adequate knowledge and training on the application technique.

Seismic fragility and risk assessment of Reinforced Concrete bridges undergoing elastomeric bearing deformations induced by landslide
Authors: Ruggieri Sergio , Nettis Andrea , Raffaele Domenico , Guido Biagio , Uva Giuseppina
Published: November 2024

The paper presents a study on the seismic fragility of Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridges isolated by elastomeric bearing devices subjected to differential displacements induced by slow-moving landslides. The seismic behaviour of isolated bridges is ruled by the performance of elastomeric bearings to reduce and dissipate earthquake actions. These bridges are subjected to service loads that usually are accounted for in design, but possible additional actions from the surrounding environment, such as landslides affecting substructure components, can seriously undermine the seismic response. The paper describes a practical approach to investigate the seismic fragility and risk of RC bridges isolated by elastomeric bearings, which may undergo early deformations induced by the differential displacements of substructure components. On the basis of previous existing studies, the proposed methodology is based on numerical modelling accounting for landslide-induced substructure displacements and proper modifications on the constitutive law and hysteretic response of the elastomeric bearings. Subsequently, after establishing specific limit-states, nonlinear time history analyses of the seismic response are used to estimate fragility curves and risk indicators. The study points out that it is possible to quantify the influence of landslide-induced effects on seismic fragility and risk by using only two numerical models, in order to provide decision support to transportation authority responsible for ensuring the safety of bridges and road networks. The proposed approach has been tested on a real-life case study, the Santo Stefano Viaduct in Italy, which was subjected in the past to relevant deformations of the elastomeric bearings due to an active landslide phenomenon.

DNA base lesions, such as incorporation of uracil into DNA or base mismatches, can be mutagenic and toxic to replicating cells. To discover factors in repair of genomic uracil, we performed a CRISPR knockout screen in the presence of floxuridine, a chemotherapeutic agent that incorporates uracil and fluoro-uracil into DNA. We identified known factors, such as uracil DNA N-glycosylase (UNG), and unknown factors, such as the N6-adenosine methyltransferase, METTL3, as required to overcome floxuridine-driven cytotoxicity. Visualized with immunofluorescence, the product of METTL3 activity, N6-methyladenosine, formed nuclear foci in cells treated with floxuridine. The observed N6-methyladenosine was embedded in DNA, called 6mA, and these results were confirmed using an orthogonal approach, liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). METTL3 and 6mA were required for repair of lesions driven by additional base damaging agents, including raltitrexed, gemcitabine, and hydroxyurea. Our results establish a role for METTL3 and 6mA in promoting genome stability in mammalian cells, especially in response to base damage.

Recent studies have shown that, in human cancer cells, the tetrameric Shieldin complex (comprising REV7, SHLD1, SHLD2, and SHLD3) facilitates non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) while blocking homologous recombination (HR). Surprisingly, several eukaryotic species lack SHLD1, SHLD2 and SHLD3 orthologs, suggesting that Rev7 may leverage an alternative mechanism to regulate the double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway choice. Exploring this hypothesis, we discovered that
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Rev7 physically interacts with the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 (MRX) subunits, impedes G-quadruplex DNA synergised-HU-induced toxicity and facilitates NHEJ, while antagonizing HR. Notably, we reveal that a 42-amino acid C-terminal fragment of Rev7 binds to the subunits of MRX complex, protects
rev7Δ
cells from G-quadruplex DNA-HU-induced toxicity, and promotes NHEJ by blocking HR. By comparison, the N-terminal HORMA domain, a conserved protein–protein interaction module, was dispensable. We further show that the full-length Rev7 impedes Mre11 nuclease and Rad50’s ATPase activities without affecting the latter’s ATP-binding ability. Combined, these results provide unanticipated insights into the functional interaction between the MRX subunits and Rev7 and highlight a mechanism by which Rev7 facilitates DSB repair via NHEJ, and attenuation of HR, by blocking Mre11 nuclease and Rad50’s ATPase activities in

Introduction

The Longan fruit tree of the Vietnam Mekong Delta is grown in raised beds to improve water drainage during the rainy season and can live as long as 100 years.

Objective

This research explores the extent to which the soil microorganisms as well as soil physical and chemical properties of these raised beds degrade over a period of 60 years under traditional management practices.

Materials and Methods

Raised bed topsoil samples at depths of 0–20 cm were obtained from four different Longan orchards raised bed age groups: group 1) 15–25 years (L1–L5); group 2) 26–37 years (L6–L10); group 3) 38–45 years (L11–L15); and group 4) 46–60 years. Soil biological properties were tested for nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphorus solubilizing bacteria, potassium solubilizing bacteria, calcium solubilizing bacteria and silicate solubilizing bacteria, β-glucosidase, urease, phosphomonoesterase, and phytase. Soil samples were also tested for moisture content, soil texture, soil porosity, and bulk density as well as soil chemical properties including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), soil organic matter (SOM), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), total potassium (TK), available nitrogen (NH4+, NO3−), available phosphorus (AP), exchangeable potassium (K+), exchangeable calcium (Ca2 +), available silicate (SiO2), available copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B) and manganese (Mn). Key findings: The results showed that soil moisture, soil porosity, sand content, SOM, TP, TK, available P, exchangeable Ca2 +, available Si, nitrogen fixing bacteria number, β-glucosidase, urease, phosphomonoesterase, and phytase gradually and significantly decreased in the raised bed soil as the Longan orchard increased in age. Pearson correlation analysis between the ages of Longan orchards and soil properties revealed that raised bed ages were positively correlated with soil bulk density, but negatively correlated with soil moisture content, soil porosity, SOM, TN, β-glucosidase, urease, phosphomonoesterase, and phytase. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed Longan yields had a positive correlation with available NO3− but negative correlation with NFB, exchangeable Ca2 +, pH, and available B. These findings reveal that traditional long-term management of Longan trees in raised beds significantly reduce soil organic matter, moisture content, porosity, and soil fertility with impacts on soil microbial numbers and activity within raised bed soils.

Future Directions

This suggests that more sustainable management practices, such as mulch and cover crops that decrease soil compaction and increase soil organic matter, improve soil porosity, total N, and feed soil microorganisms that are critical to nutrient cycling are needed to improve raised bed soil quality.

Root-knot nematode disease severely affects the yield and quality of the mandarin variety Citrus reticulata Blanco “Orah” in Guangxi, China. Nevertheless, the pathogen and the effects of this disease on microbial communities remain inadequately understood. This study identified the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne panyuensis in the rhizosphere of infected Orah using morphological and molecular biological methods. Soil chemical properties indicated that organic matter, total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), available phosphorus (AP), total potassium (TK), and available potassium (AK) were significantly higher in the rhizosphere soil of M. panyuensis-infected Orah than in that of healthy plants. The relative abundance of the bacteria Bacillus, Sphingomonas, and Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia, as well as the fungi Lycoperdon, Fusarium, Neocosmospora, Talaromyces, and Tetragoniomyces, was elevated in the rhizosphere soil of M. panyuensis-infected plants. Furthermore, organic matter, TN, available nitrogen (AN), TP, AP, TK, and AK exhibited positive correlationswith these bacteria and fungi in the rhizosphere soil of M. panyuensis-infected Orah. Potential biocontrol strains, such as Burkholderia spp., were identified by comparing the differences in rhizosphere microbial composition between healthy Orah and M. panyuensis-infected Orah. Our findings provide a foundation for the early warning and prevention of root-knot nematode disease in Orah.
Project WINGS: Word-Banking to Address Gaps in Science Education

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused students to fear for their health and their studies. It has created gaps that educators need to fill when they return to formal education. The main purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of word banking in science for improving the proficiency levels of seventh-grade students. The study aims to address gaps in science education arising from new-normal circumstances. It also seeks to assess students' proficiency in science before and after the implementation of Project WINGS. The research found that implementing Project WINGS, which incorporated the SPURN strategy (Spelling, Pronunciation, and Usage of words, Reading, and Numeracy), significantly improved seventh-grade students' proficiency levels in science. The quasi-experimental design, utilizing pre-test and post-test data, indicated a notable enhancement in students' performance, suggesting that daily word banking effectively addressed educational gaps exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
