Flexibilidad y distribución del tiempo de trabajo. Especial referencia al caso español
Authors: Martín Rodríguez Olaya
Published: February 2024

Con el presente estudio se pretende ofrecer una visión sobre la evolución en la gestión del tiempo de trabajo. Las primeras regulaciones normativas en relación con el tiempo de trabajo se basaban en la limitación de la jornada como medida de seguridad y salud. Más adelante, el tiempo de trabajo fue objeto de preocupación, por considerarse éste como un bien escaso susceptible de ser limitado para así repartir el trabajo y disminuir las tasas de paro. Recientemente, la preocupación sobre el tiempo de trabajo radica en su vertiente cualitativa, es decir, en la gestión del tiempo de trabajo para adaptarse a los cambios productivos y a los requerimientos de una economía globalizada.
Informe: seguridad social en México, 2022
Authors: Mendizábal Bermúdez Gabriela
Published: February 2024

En 2022 el derecho social mexicano presentó avances importantes. Ejemplo de ellos son: luego de varias décadas sin reforma, se aumentan los días por vacaciones que se otorgan a un trabajador; el proceso de reforma de la seguridad social para los y las trabajadoras del hogar continúa; algunas resoluciones de la SCJN que coadyuvan al reconocimiento progresivo del derecho humano a la seguridad social fueron emitidas; y el derecho internacional de la seguridad social experimentó también avances. Estos ejemplos son algunos de los temas que se analizan en este informe, permitiendo con ello conocer con mayor puntualidad los criterios tanto legislativos como jurisdiccionales que prevalecen en México y que pueden impactar e influir en otros países a través del estudio de derecho comparado. Los métodos de investigación que se aplican para su estructura y desarrollo son el deductivo y el descriptivo.
Estudio de la sentencia SUP-JIN-359/2012: sobre la necesidad de una doctrina sobre invalidez por determinancia en el sistema electoral
Authors: Olaiz González Jaime
Published: February 2024

Este ensayo aborda, mediante el estudio de algunas decisiones del Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación (TEPJF), la forma en que el sistema electoral mexicano está en continua calibración. En este contexto, se defiende la pertinencia de establecer a nivel constitucional y en la legislación secundaria, estándares más estrictos de escrutinio judicial en materia de fiscalización de gastos campaña. El tema central del presente análisis se ocupa de la posición que asumió la Sala Superior del TEPJF, a la luz del precedente SUP-JRC-165/2008, en la sentencia SUP-JIN-0359/2012, convirtiéndose ésta en una resolución incidental “de fondo”. En este trabajo se defiende la necesidad de que el TEPJF construya una doctrina sobre “determinancia” para calificar posibles violaciones a las reglas electorales que signifiquen un efecto trascendente e irreparable en los procesos electorales.

Con datos originales sobre la calidad del proceso de selección de los consejeros electorales de los órganos públicos locales y de la integridad de las elecciones subnacionales en México, en este artículo ofrecemos evidencia de que donde se ha incurrido en excepciones o se ha tomado distancia del procedimiento “ortodoxo” de selección de consejeros —es decir, dónde ha sido menor la calidad de la conformación del Consejo General de los órganos públicos locales— es también donde se han celebrado elecciones menos íntegras.
Transparencia y partidos políticos en México. Una condición necesaria para la democracia
Authors: Bonilla Gutiérrez Julio César
Published: February 2024

Los partidos políticos en México, se mantuvieron largo tiempo en el claroscuro. Su naturaleza jurídica a la luz de las disposiciones constitucionales les dota de un carácter relacionado con su función democrática en la estructuración de los órganos representativos. La rendición de cuentas por parte de éstos es de medular relevancia por las funciones que deben cumplir y no sólo en relación con su financiamiento público y privado. A pesar de los avances normativos, los partidos requieren hacer esfuerzos mayores en materia de transparencia y abonar con ello a su legitimidad, en un contexto necesario para su consolidación en democracia.
La retórica de la paridad horizontal en la elección de gubernaturas en México: análisis de una sentencia icónica
Authors: Toro Huerta Mauricio Iván del
Published: February 2024

La paridad es un concepto jurídico indeterminado que padece de ambigüedad considerando su estructura normativa. El hecho de que la paridad se conciba como principio y como regla, lo mismo que como política pública o directiva, hace que no resulte claro determinar sus consecuencias jurídicas. La paridad horizontal en la elección de gubernaturas fue analizada por la Sala Superior del Tribunal Electoral con motivo de la pasada elección (2020-2021) y en una polémica sentencia determinó que una interpretación constitucional del principio de paridad para todos los cargos imponía el deber de los partidos de postular sus candidaturas a las gubernaturas de manera paritaria (7/8). El presente texto hace un análisis argumentativo de esa decisión icónica.
La reivindicación de los derechos del artículo 35, fracción II, de las personas que pertenecen a la comunidad LGBTTTI y de las personas con discapacidad en Aguascalientes
Authors: Cárdenas Ornelas Diana Cristina , Ramírez Serna Paula Marisol
Published: February 2024

El presente texto hace un análisis de la situación en la que se encuentran las personas que pertenecen a la comunidad LGBTTTIQ+ y las personas con discapacidad, respecto del ejercicio del derecho a ser votado en el estado de Aguascalientes. Así, se plantea cómo hoy en día, aún con los esfuerzos realizados por las autoridades administrativas y jurisdiccionales en materia electoral, no existe una verdadera igualdad sustantiva para que las personas que son parte de estos grupos puedan ejercer realmente este derecho. No obstante, al tenor del principio de progresividad y de acciones afirmativas se da cuenta del gradual avance logrado. Para ello, se muestra el contexto normativo y pragmático de estos grupos; se dacuenta de su modificación con base en los movimientos socio-legales que han permitido abrir brecha para lograr el efectivo disfrute del derecho a ser votado, y finalmente, con base en un estudio evolutivo de la información de las personas autoadscritas a estos grupos que se han desempeñado como representantes populares, con especial énfasis desde 2021, se analizan las prospectivas para su inclusión por las diferentes fuerzas políticas, al elegir candidatas y candidatos para una elección.

Huntington’s Disease-Emerging Therapeutic Methods and Potential Utilisation of Bacteriophage to Overcome Current Challenges
Authors: Zhang Justin
Published: February 2024

Abstract: Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative trinucleotide repeat disorder resulting from abnormal CAG repeat length within Huntingtin gene (Htt). Onset of the disease usually starts in middle age, with symptoms including chorea, depression, and irritability. There are currently no cure for HD. Current treatments have limited effectiveness and does not target the pathology of the disease, only alleviating symptoms. New therapeutic methods such as CRISPR, antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) and stem cell therapies all offer potential curative and disease-modifying therapies for Huntington’s Disease. However, a major problem for all these new therapeutic methods is their route of administration. Here, I present a brief overview of the recent advancements in bacteriophage engineering and propose a novel solution of using bacteriophages to treat HD.
El derecho de huelga de los miembros de las fuerzas policiales en el ordenamiento jurídico uruguayo: una perspectiva desde los derechos humanos
Authors: Furtado Duarte Brahian
Published: February 2024

En el derecho de huelga en el contexto de los miembros de las fuerzas policiales se pueden identificar dos posiciones: por un lado, quienes mayoritariamente sostienen que es legítimo limitar o incluso suprimir este derecho para este grupo de trabajadores, y, por el otro, quienes defienden que el derecho de huelga es un derecho gremial reconocido en la Constitución sin exclusiones. Este trabajo aborda este tema desde una nueva perspectiva que, a partir de una interpretación del artículo 57 de la Constitución en conjunto con otras disposiciones constitucionales y los principios de protección de los derechos humanos, respalda la tesis de que los funcionarios públicos, incluidos los miembros de las fuerzas policiales, tienen reconocido el derecho de huelga.

Authors: Suprina Rina , Rahayu Nurti , Sembiring Vienna Artina
Published: February 2024

Local community empowerment in tourism villages is required to enhance community participation in community-based tourism (CBT). English learning programs in tourist villages are generally carried out as incidental community service programs. Because of time constraints and insufficient methods, the results are subpar. Therefore, an effective and efficient English learning model designed specifically to improve the communicative competence of the community managing tourist villages is required. This study aims to bridge government programs to improve tourism human resources, particularly in the community of Cibuntu, a tourist village in Kuningan Regency. The ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) is used as a reference and conceptual framework in this study. This study intends to carry out the first stage of the ADDIE model, namely the Analysis stage, to identify the English needs of the Cibuntu community. To this end, a descriptive qualitative research method was employed. The information was harnessed by observing and interviewing members of local communities who involved in tourism activities. In addition, interviews with the local tourism office were conducted to determine the profile of foreign tourists. The results demonstrated the community's need for English competence, their current English skill, and the English skills they wish to achieve. Based on the results of the needs analysis stage, the next stage of ADDIE should be carried out in the future research.

Research data were obtained from government archives, library sources in the form of books and scientific articles, interviews with stakeholders in the Gresik old town area. After the data is collected, the research is continued with the process of data analysis using a qualitative interpretive analysis approach. The results of this study can be concluded that activities related to preservation, revitalization and utilization of cultural heritage in the old city of Gresik have not been maximized. This can be seen from the efforts to identify and determine cultural heritage that have not been completed; spatial planning of cities in historical areas still leaves many differences of opinion; and regulations regarding tourism planning in the old city of Gresik do not yet exist. The solution that can be done is to involve the community who owns ancient buildings from data collection to tourism management, so that the tourism that is developed can be sustainable.

Thus, awig-awig becomes a strong foundation in the development of sustainable and responsible tourist destinations in Hidden Canyon.
Naturalismo abierto y dos tipos de intuición
Authors: Céspedes Esteban
Published: February 2024

Como una forma no-representacionalista de integrar el naturalismo metodológico con el naturalismo ontológico, este trabajo propone una distinción entre intuiciones fenoménicas e intuiciones racionales. Al no ser una distinción estática, ofrece una manera de ver en qué sentido la aparente circularidad entre representaciones mentales y representaciones teóricas no sería viciosa. La plausibilidad del argumento deberá ser reforzada mediante consideraciones sobre la inestabilidad de las ontologías y sobre cómo concebir intuiciones en conflicto.

Authors: Maksimtsev I. A. , Mezhevich N. M. , Khlutkov A. D.
Published: February 2024

The political and economic results of 2023 are a further increase in the uncertainty and multivariability of world development. At the same time, in 2023, the impossibility of returning to the “brave old world” became obvious. The obstacle to this was not Russia or China, but the entire objectively established set of international relations, including in the economic sphere. The authors deliberately do not touch upon the problems of SVO, as they proceed from the fact that this is not the reason, but the result of accumulated contradictions of a global scale.

Os celulares,os professores e os alunos:desafios para a elaboração de um novo contrato pedagógico
Authors: Zuin Antônio Álvaro Soares , Ferreira Damiana Andreia
Published: February 2024

Na sociedade da chamada cultura digital, os aparelhos celulares se disseminam de uma tal forma que, em muitas ocasiões, são identificados pelas pessoas como se fossem parte de seu próprio corpo. Evidentemente, o ambiente escolar é identificado como um espaço onde tais aparelhos tornam-se onipresentes, a ponto de suscitar a reflexão sobre como eles poderiam ser pedagogicamente utilizados.  Diante disso, o objetivo dos autores deste artigo é o de refletir criticamente sobre o papel do professor (a) de nível médio de ensino diante da utilização, cada vez mais frequente, do uso de aparelhos celulares dentro e fora das salas de aula para fins supostamente pedagógico. Apoiando-se nos pensadores da Teoria Crítica da Sociedade, utilizou-se como metodologia a análise de 17 artigos acadêmicos publicados nos últimos, os quais examinaram a contribuição dos celulares em turmas do ensino médio. A partir disso, foi possível concluir que, se o celular pode tanto ser pedagogicamente utilizado, quanto engendrar práticas de dispersão de concentração e cyberbullying, torna-se fundamental fomentar a presença de contratos pedagógicos entre os agentes educacionais para que possam mutuamente consensuar sobre quando e como usar tal aparelho no transcorrer das atividades realizadas nas salas de aula.

The Role of Water Quality in the Pathogenesis of CKDu with Respect to Fluoride
Authors: Shirani Ranasinghe
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Despite much research on chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology (CKDu) in Sri Lanka the etiology and pathogenesis remains obscure. The fluoride level in the ground water in CKDu prevalent area was considered as one of the suspected etiological factor for the disease. Methodology: A review was conducted through MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases for peer reviewed publications on ground water analysis related to CKDu areas globally. Results: Groundwater plays as the primary source of drinking water in these disease prevalent areas. The occurrence of the disease and the fluoride metabolism in the CKDu patients would give much evidence for the correlation. The factors which decide the water intake of a person, and the fluoride level in the ground water are the critical factors for fluoride intake. There are recommended levels of fluoride for each country. The pathogenesis of Fluoride for the renal damage was well described at cellular level changes. It is associated with oxidative stress leading to organelle damage. Conclusion: Therefore, urinary fluoride can be used as an early indicator of CKDu. Further, Fluoride toxicity occurs in combination of heavy metals such as Mg, Mn and As, Pb etc. Although no clear etiological factor was recognized, Fluoride could be considered as a possible etiological factor for CKDu. As preventive measures, provision of fluoride-free drinking water in the affected areas, early detection of fluoride toxicity can be recommended.

Understanding the Effect of Climate Change on Migratory Birds: A Review
Authors: Naeem M
Published: February 2024

Climate change is being referred to as a global plague and has significant negative consequences on the world’s economic, social, and ecological systems. Extreme weather consequences like drought, floods, and heat waves have had unprecedented occurrences and have had substantial effects on animals and plants. Climate change significantly influences animal phenologies, such as bird arrival and egg-laying times. As a result of these present and future climate change impacts, species interactions with their local environment are anticipated to change, resulting in changes in population size, range extent, and extinction rates. The current review discusses the effect of climate changes on migratory birds and concludes that climate change is one of the most serious dangers to world ecological systems, as indicated by the numerous ecological impacts imposed by changing climate on migratory birds. Climate change significantly affects breeding strategies, migration, distribution, latitudinal or altitudinal shift, community structure change, morphological change, and elimination or extinction of migratory birds. The current review attempts to communicate research and advances in the effect of climate change on migratory birds to different actors in society, including researchers, conservationists, practitioners, and policymakers.
How to Eat Spiny Food? Predation by Bird of Prey on Thin-Spined Porcupine, Chaetomys subspinosus (Olfers, 1818)
Authors: Srbek-Araujo Ana Carolina
Published: February 2024

Chaetomys subspinosus is an arboreal, cryptic, medium-sized porcupine. This species has the body densely covered by spines thinner and softer than those of other genera of Neotropical porcupines. Its known natural predators are big cats and harpy eagle, while other mammalian carnivores and large birds of prey in general are cited as potential predators. Here I report a new event of predation by bird of prey on Chaetomys subspinosus in the northern Espírito Santo state, southeastern Atlantic Forest. The predator removed the stomach and intestine of the prey, as well as the spines of its head and the ventral portion of the body. Although it was not possible to identify the predator precisely, it was a medium to large-sized bird of prey, probably a hawk or a hawk-eagle (Family Accipitridae). The presented data contributes information to the natural history of Chaetomys subspinosus, representing one of the first records of predation on this porcupine species by a bird of prey.

The occurrence and distribution of vector borne diseases such as bluetongue, west nile fever, rift fever, African horse sickness, etc. are closely associated with weather patterns and long-term climatic factors strongly ce the incidence of outbreaks. The interaction between animal production and climate change is complex and multi-nal since animal production contributes to climate change; but to the reverse and worse condition climate highly affects animal production. Climate change, animal production systems and animal diseases are strongly linked there. But what is worse is that both change in climate and the production systems of animals highly affect the ence, distribution, emergence and re-emergence of animal diseases. The close linkage among climate change, animal tion and disease; the increased threat of climate on the animal production and health sector’s needs: the hands of lders in the environment, animal production and health to work in an integrated and systematic manner; researches nphasis given to the state of climate change and the direct and indirect effects it pose on animal production and health; Suring development of sustainable animal farming and land use, and climate adaptation and mitigation strategies.
Callow and Naive-Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumour Testis
Authors: A Bajaj
Published: February 2024

Juvenile granulose cell tumour emerges as an exceptionally discerned neoplasm engendered from primitive granulosa cells. Tumefaction configures as a testicular lesion commonly encountered within 6 months of neonatal period. Notwithstanding, tumefaction is comprehensively observed within first decade of life. The neoplasm demonstrates significant morphological variation with occurrence of distinctive solid and follicular tumour patterns. Characteristically, lobular articulations or follicular differentiation are expounded. Notwithstanding, solid or reticular tumour pattern may be challenging to ascertain. Neoplastic cells appear immune reactive to steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1), calretinin, vimentin and inhibin. Tumour cells appear immune non-reactive to alpha fetoprotein (AFP). Malignant metamorphosis remains undocumented.

This study was conducted to evaluate the antifungal activity of the ethanolic extract of turmeric rhizome against Colletotrichum capsici Syd. and its efficacy in reducing anthracnose disease development on red chili peppers. The in vitro experiment aimed to determine the effect of the extract on inhibiting C. capsici growth in potato sucrose agar (PSA) medium incorporating the turmeric rhizome extract. The variables examined were mycelial growth, fungal sporulation, and spore germination. The in vivo experiment aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the extract in reducing disease development on red chili peppers. The treatments were conducted using a completely randomized design with five concentration treatments and three replicates. The variables examined were radial mycelial growth zone diameter, fungal sporulation, spore germination, and disease intensity. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance, and the least significant difference was used for comparing means between treatments. The results of these experiments showed that ethanolic turmeric rhizome extract exhibited antifungal activity against C. capsici both in vitro and in vivo conditions. Turmeric rhizome extracts with concentrations of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% significantly inhibited mycelial growth, and even at a 4% concentration, C. capsici fungal colonies did not grow. Evaluation of the effect of the extract on fungal sporulation showed that inhibition occurred at a concentration of 3%, while inhibition of spore germination occurred at concentrations of 1%, 2%, and 3%. Application of turmeric extract at concentrations of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% effectively reduced the intensity of anthracnose on red chili.

Authors: Király Róbert
Published: February 2024

The pollution of water resources is a civilizational problem, the urgency of which will increase as climate change progresses. Today we have a problem with water not only with quantitative, but also in qualitative point of view. This was the main reason for us to focus our attention on this environmental problem. The focus of this paper was to provide theoretical and practical information for integrating the legislative-implementation process on the regional level in the context of strengthening the protection of water resources. In the first part of our study, we explored the water pollution problem through the lens of European competences and selected legislations. The same process was chosen for the analysis of water protection in joined member states of the integration grouping which is Slovakia and the Czech Republic. In the research part we focused on assessing the degree of implementation of European measures in the issue of water resource protection by chosen regional actors of water politics in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, while identifying deficiency arising in this process. This research obtained the data using open questionnaire, through which we addressed the actors that were responsible for the implementation of the adopted decisions into practice. Subsequently, we used a comparative method to evaluate the current state and protection level of drinking water in the compared regions.
Real estate up to the mark: review and analysis of the real estate market in some Gulf countries
Authors: Babenkova S. Yu.
Published: February 2024

The purchase of real estate by foreigners and its full ownership in the Gulf countries has become feasible only recently. The diversification of the economies of oil exporting countries is forcing them to strengthen the role of non–oil sectors, in particular the real estate sector.

A sharp increase in demand for real estate occurred, including two years ago, with the arrival of wealthy Russians on the UAE market, who decided to minimize the risks to their finances by investing in real estate in the Emirates.

At the same time, despite the opening windows of opportunity for foreign investors, according to some experts, the UAE market may be overheated and a bubble, characteristic of fast-growing markets, will form, the further development of which may lead to a market decline.

Authors: Robles Adriana
Published: February 2024

El objetivo del artículo es presentar una revisión de la investigación realizada en América Latina sobre el emparejamiento selectivo por edad y por educación en las últimas dos décadas. Se identificó que existe una amplia literatura respecto al emparejamiento selectivo por educación en la región, mientras que aún es necesario explorar más elementos acerca del emparejamiento por edad. La cobertura temática de la investigación producida en torno al emparejamiento selectivo por educación es amplia, particularmente en la última década, y constituye una aportación significativa en la discusión global sobre el tema. Por otra parte, la revisión del análisis del emparejamiento selectivo por edad devela que aún quedan muchas líneas de investigación por explorar en esta temática, particularmente en un contexto como el latinoamericano, marcado por la desigualdad económica y de género, la incertidumbre en el mercado laboral, la heterogeneidad en el estadio de la transición demográfica, entre otras características.
