Scapulaseius asiaticus (Evans) and S. reptans (Blommers) (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae): one or two species?
Authors: Kreiter Serge , Ferragut Francisco
Published: September 2021

We compare published morphometric measurements of females and males of Scapulaseius asiaticus (Evans) and S. reptans (Blommers) collected in various countries, with new measurements and character states of type specimens of both species and additional material. The aim is to establish definitively whether the two species are synonyms or not. This paper follows the doubt on the taxonomic status of the former and the hypothesis of conspecificity of the two species formulated by both authors in previous papers concerning Mauritius phytoseiid fauna. Setal and shield measurements were highly similar between species. In addition, other morphological characters previously used to separate these taxa, such as the position of setae R1, showed a wide intraspecific variability, and largely overlapped between populations previously identified as S. asiaticus vs S. reptans. We conclude that the two forms are conspecific and, therefore, S. reptans is herein designated a junior synonym of S. asiaticus.
Mathematical Modelling of Water-Based Fe3O4 Nanofluid Due to Rotating Disc and Comparison with Similarity Solution
Authors: Bhandari Anupam
Published: September 2021

The current research demonstrates the revolving flow of water-based Fe3O4 nanofluid due to the uniform rotation of the disc. This flow of nanofluid is investigated using CFD Module in COMSOL Multiphysics. However, the similarity solution for this flow is also obtained after transforming the given equation into a non-dimensional form. In the CFD Module, streamlines and surface plots are compared with the similarity solution for the magnitude of the velocity, radial velocity, tangential velocity, and axial velocity. The results from the direct simulation in the CFD Module and the solution of dimensionless equations represent a similar solution of velocity distribution. The derived results show that increasing the volume concentration of nanoparticles and effective magnetic parameters decrease the velocity distribution in the flow. Results in the CFD Module are important for monitoring the real-time particle tracing in the flow and, on the other hand, the dimensionless solution is also significant for the physical interpretation of the problem. Both methods of solution empower each other and present the physical model without sacrificing the relevant physical phenomena.
Applying Collocation Analysis to Chinese Discourse: A Case Study of Causal Connectives
Authors: Wei Yipu , Speelman Dirk , Evers-Vermeul Jacqueline
Published: September 2021

Collocation analysis can be used to extract meaningful linguistic information from large-scale corpus data. This paper reviews the methodological issues one may encounter when performing collocation analysis for discourse studies on Chinese. We propose four crucial aspects to consider in such analyses: (i) the definition of collocates according to various parameters; (ii) the choice of analysis and association measures; (iii) the definition of the search span; and (iv) the selection of corpora for analysis. To illustrate how these aspects can be addressed when applying a Chinese collocation analysis, we conducted a case study of two Chinese causal connectives:yushi‘that is why’ andyin’er‘as a result’. The distinctive collocation analysis shows how these two connectives differ in volitionality, an important dimension of discourse relations. The study also demonstrates that collocation analysis, as an explorative approach based on large-scale data, can provide valuable converging evidence for corpus-based studies that have been conducted with laborious manual analysis on limited datasets.

Published: September 2021

Lymphoepithelial carcinoma is an undifferentiated carcinoma with nonneoplastic lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, mostly located in the nasopharynx, while it is extremely rare in the oropharynx. We present a rare case of lymphoepithelial carcinoma arising from palatine tonsil. A 81-year old male patient complained of dysphagia, hypersalivation and bloody sputum. Clinical examination revealed hypertrophy of the right palatine tonsil and ipsilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Biopsy and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of lymphoepithelial carcinoma. Multi-slice computed tomography showed a 33×31×38 mm heterodense mass in the region of the right palatine tonsil, and 37×30 mm and 21×20 mm lymph nodes on the right side of the neck. The patient was reffered to an oncology council, which suggested radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy. Although rare in clinical practice, lymphoepithelial carcinoma should be considered in cases of tonsil cancer.
Comprehensive Management of Helicobacter pylori Infection
Authors: Hamzah Abdul Ghaffar , Fauzi Achmad
Published: September 2021

Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is a chronic gram-negative bacterial infection, that infects the epithelium of the stomach. This prevalence is very high and varies depending on factors such as geographical location, ethnicity, age, and socioeconomic. The key management of Hp infection is accurate diagnosis and treatment. The H. pylori diagnostic examination consists of non-invasive and invasive tests, the most common non-invasive tests are serological tests, urea breath tests (UBT), and stool antigen tests, while invasive tests are rapid urease tests, histopathology, culture, and PCR. The goal of H. pylori eradication is to heal peptic ulcers and reduce the risk of gastric cancer. Eradication therapy that is recommended worldwide and used in Indonesia is the triple drug combination therapy consisting of a PPI, clarithromycin and amoxicillin or metronidazole for 14 days. The success of eradication therapy is highly dependent on the choice of therapeutic regimen, patient compliance in taking multi-drugs with possible drug side effects, and the sensitivity of H. pylori strains to the antibiotics consumed.

Human Trafficking in Japan Through the Use of Schoolgirls
Authors: Acadimia Khyrsten
Published: September 2021

Joshi Kosei (JK Business), is the integration of schoolgirls in the human trafficking industry in Japan. It is a form of compensated dating called “Enjo Kosai.” Japan is currently ranked as a tier 2 country within the Trafficking in Persons 2017 report that is conducted by the United States Department of State. This is due to the lack of enforcement behind the current policies to prosecute traffickers and protect victims. This paper traces the human trafficking industry from World War II to present times, as well as the Joshi Kosei phenomena from the 1990s to the present. After that there is a look at current efforts and current policies in place. With a stronger awareness, rewording of current policies, and stronger enforcement efforts, Japan has the potential to become a tier 1 country.
The Unwavering Movement: Integrating Reason into British Penal Code 1730-1823
Authors: Good Rebecca
Published: September 2021

Between the early 16th and 18th centuries, English attitude towards crime and correction were based on the strong held belief that faith and religion were the only cure to immorality. Lawmakers began to threaten citizens with capital punishment for menial crimes such as petty theft and begging. Resulting of a moral panic, lawmakers turned to the deterrence to dissuade citizens from partaking in criminal activity. The list of crimes punishable by death in England rose from 50 offenses in 1688 to over 220 in 1815. This article explains the origins of the Bloody Code and how Enlightenment-Era thought transformed the penal code in England.

Published: September 2021

El propósito de este artículo es presentar los resultados de una investigación acerca de la relación entre las fortalezas y la presencia de conductas de riesgo de los adolescentes atendidos en los diversos programas de la Corporación Juan Bosco de la ciudad de Cali, Colombia. Tomando como base la perspectiva del desarrollo positivo, se realizó un estudio correlacional comparando 188 adolescentes de la Corporación, clasificados en dos grupos según su tiempo de vinculación. Asimismo, se seleccionó otro grupo conformado por 81 adolescentes del sector, no vinculados a la Corporación Juan Bosco. Se utilizaron los instrumentos de fortalezas y factores de protección adaptados para México y Colombia; y para las conductas de riesgo se utilizó el inventario de conductas de riesgo de Andrade Palos y Betancourt Ocampo (2008). Los resultados demostraron que las fortalezas externas relacionadas con las figuras parentales y los pares resultan más decisivas para que los adolescentes no se involucren en conductas de riesgo.
How to use a mask
Authors: Fu Mengzhu
Published: September 2021

In the beginnings of the COVID-19 pandemic, Asians wearing masks in white colonized countries became a target of white supremacist violence. This piece of fabric has been a point of contention for anti-maskers who feel like their freedoms are being threatened. To dispel the myths of why people might wear masks, this is a basic 101 tutorial on how to use a mask. The comic tutorial breaks down what this apparently exotic cultural artifact is, why people wear it and how to use it properly. This is directed at white people so that next time they see East Asians wearing face masks, they will be equipped with all the relevant information to NOT punch us in the face, kick us out of supermarkets, bully Asian hospital workers, or abuse us on the streets or online. This comic was inspired by the safety instruction cards on flights and the patronizing posters in Anglo colonial university washrooms that tell Chinese students not to stand on the toilet seats. Thanks to Kirsty Fong for the idea and for being a reference.
Lysol Lakes, and Other Photographs
Authors: Schaefer Brittany
Published: September 2021

Since the worldwide implementation of lockdown measures due to COVID-19, there have been substantial changes in how we interact with our social and material worlds. Urban landscapes are being reimagined (Pierantoni et al., 2020), individuals are finding new ways to re-create outdoors (Rice et al., 2020), and many health services are being digitized to increase accessibility (Taylor et al., 2020). This short photo essay adds a visual component to such everyday social and material changes. More specifically, it is composed of three photographs that I took while on my solo-walks in Southern Ontario during the initial lockdown. The collection explores three themes: the irony of cleanliness, danger and contamination, and the importance of staying connected with loved ones during COVID-19.
On the One Time I Lost My Virginity, and the Three Times I Gave It Away
Authors: Jamal Rayan
Published: September 2021

In this poem, I examine the concept of virginity as a social construct by referencing situations where I was told it could be lost through simple everyday acts, such as riding a horse or inserting a tampon. Through examining such situations, I equate virginity with the mere act of penetration. In doing this, I establish that penetrative masturbation is a loss of virginity, thereby challenging the idea that virginity is something that can be either lost or given. I take the reader through four separate sexual or pseudo sexual experiences to establish a non-linear journey through navigating virginity. The poem ends with the revelation that through the act of masturbating with a dildo, my virginity became something I gave myself.
Mutations in Yellow
Authors: Liu Michelle
Published: September 2021

Mutations in yellow, a serial arrangement of yellow pigments on rice paper are reflections on botany, viruses and empire.The studies investigate the materiality of yellow, using turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, chili powder to make imprecise diagrams; reminiscent of, but neither calligraphy nor painting; gestures that trouble and muddy the taxonomies of yellowness and the historical entanglements between 18th century colonial studies of plant disease, imperial routes and racial capitalism.The invention of “yellow” as a racial description associated with “dirty, lurid, treacherous, suspect, diseased, weak, lazy, melancholy, unproductive” appeared in natural science publications, frequently representing maladies and infectious afflictions to biological and human (European Man) health and reproduction. The images evade scientific conventions of pictorial accuracy that typify botanical illustrations and instead present the colour yellow as medium in non linear, non-teleological “mutations”—present and willfully unproductive, like withdrawal from the descriptive apparatus mapping “yellow” to infection, foreignness and invasion.
Familiaridade ou convencionalidade? Investigando fatores relevantes no processamento de metáforas
Authors: Silva Gladiston Alves da
Published: September 2021

Metáforas são processadas pelo ouvinte mais lentamente que expressões literais? Em que medida a familiaridade do falante com as expressões metafóricas pode acelerar o processo de compreensão das mesmas? Estudos sobre o processamento da metáfora apresentam divergências quanto ao modo como essa figura de linguagem é interpretada. Alguns autores defendem que metáforas são processadas mais lentamente que expressões literais, tendo em vista a necessidade de observar os três estágios para a compreensão previstos no Modelo Pragmático Padrão (SEARLE, 1979). Evidências do processamento indireto das metáforas, compatíveis com o referido modelo, são reportadas na literatura (JANUS e BEVER, 1985). A prioridade do sentido literal sobre o metafórico tem sido, no entanto, questionado por outros estudos que defendem o processamento direto das expressões metafóricas (GLUCKSBERG, 2003; RICCI, 2016). Uma terceira onda teórica visa a conciliar as teorias, até então, conflitantes, propondo que, a depender do grau de convencionalidade do veículo metafórico, uma metáfora pode ser processada mais lentamente ou no mesmo tempo das expressões literais (BOWDLE e GENTNER, 2005). Nesse arcabouço, nosso estudo resgata a importância da familiaridade já indicada como um fator relevante em estudo experimental prévio (SILVA, 2018). Aqui, apresentamos novas evidências, com base em experimento psicolinguístico de leitura autocadenciada de que o controle efetivo do processamento cognitivo da metáfora recai sobre a familiaridade da expressão e não sobre a convencionalidade do veículo, como vem sendo apontado pela maioria dos teóricos.
Role of the elderly in the labor market from theperspective of education level
Authors: Aurélio da Cunha Soares Neto Marco , Batista Silva Chesil
Published: September 2021

The increase in longevity and the gradual and accelerated aging of the world population are trends that highlight the needto pay attention to the peculiarities inherent to elderly citizens. The return or permanence of the elderly in the labor market often conditions them to a marginal job position, that is, retired still active or self-employed, since when the elderly is absorbed by the formal market, it is common that he accepts reduced wages and no work records, a fact that justifies the option of many elderly workers to work on their own in informality. On the other hand, the best opportunities to keep a job after retirement or re-entering the labor market belong to the more qualified elderly, with a higher level of education and, above all, to those who do not have manual labor activities. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze the dynamics of performance of the elderly in the formal labor market, from the perspective of the level of education. Therefore, the methodological procedures used in the research will be of a qualitative and quantitative approach, from the point of view of the objectives, it is presented as an exploratory and descriptive research, as technical procedures it is presented as bibliographical, from the data collection of the Continuous PNAD, in the period between 2012 and 2020. This study hopes to understand the different aspects of the elderly in the Brazilian labor market, in addition to raising theoretical data that may allow the formulation of public policy proposals and the participation of public and private initiatives in projects for the insertion of the elderly into the labor market

Science does not belong to the scientist” and it is far from finding an end in itself. For researchers, it is necessary to disseminate their findings and share them with the wider community: an attitude that enriches both society and Science. In order for this to happen, it is necessary that scientific knowledge is disseminated through the use of simple vocabulary, direct and communicative language, and by using communication vehicles which are accessible to thegeneral population. Nevertheless, there is still some resistance to the use of social networks as a means of disseminating scientific works. This project aims to support the task of scientific dissemination by both seeking to reach different audiences andinstigating the academic community to be informed about and/or to participate in researches carried out by ISECENSA’s scientific initiation programs. Action research was the methodology chosen for this project because it has a critical-collaborative character and is attractive, once it leads to an immediate specific result: the construction of infographics and videos and their publication on social networks aiming to disseminate ISECENSA’s 2021/2022 research projects. In addition, the methodology includes the use of tools/applications that enable the generation of metrics for infographics posts and other media used for science dissemination. As a result, a special volume of the R&D Bulletin is expected to be published. It will register the scientific dissemination activities developed at ISECENSA during the year 2021, marking the holding of ISECENSA’s VI Research and Development Seminar and the VII Scientific Knowledge International Congress (VII CICC)

Published: September 2021

Objectives:

The objectives of the study was to compare pancreatic perfusion by computed tomography in type 2 diabetes and non-diabetic subjects.

Material and Methods:

In this case–control study, 17 patients with type 2 diabetes and 22 non-diabetic controls were examined with a dynamic 192-slices perfusion computed tomography for estimating pancreatic perfusion parameters.

Results:

Thirty-nine patients were included (22 with Type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM]), with a mean age of 64 years. There were significant differences in some pancreatic perfusion parameters in patients with and without type 2 diabetes. Blood volume (BV) was lower in pancreatic head (with T2DM: 14.0 ± 3.4 vs. without T2DM: 16.1 ± 2.4 mL/100 mL; P = 0.033), pancreatic tail (with: 14.4 ± 3.6 vs. without: 16.8 ± 2.5 mL/100 mL; P = 0.023), and in whole pancreas (with: 14.2 ± 3.2 vs. without: 16.2 ± 2.5 mL/100 mL; P = 0.042). Similar behavior was observed with mean transit time (MTT) in pancreatic head (with: 7.0 ± 1.0 vs. without: 7.9 ± 1.2 s; P = 0.018), pancreatic tail (with: 6.6 ± 1.3 vs. without: 7.7 ± 0.9 s; P = 0.005), and in whole pancreas (with: 6.8 ± 1.0 vs. without: 7.7 ± 0.9 s; P = 0.016). BV in head, tail, and whole pancreas had negative correlations with age (head r: –0.352, P = 0.032; tail r: –0.421, P = 0.031; whole pancreas r: –0.439, P = 0.007), and fasting plasma glucose (head r: –0.360, P = 0.031; tail r: –0.483, P = 0.003; whole pancreas r: –0.447, P = 0.006). In a multivariate linear regression model, HbA1c was independently associated with decrease in BV in whole pancreas (β: –0.884; CI95%: –1.750 to –0.017; P = 0.046).

Conclusion:

Pancreatic BV and MTT were significantly lower in patients with type 2 diabetes. BV was decreased with older age and poorer glycemic control.
Ni-Catalyzed Electrochemical C(sp2)−C(sp3) Cross-Coupling Reactions
Authors: Luo Jian , Hu Bo , wu wenda , hu maowei , Liu Tianbiao
Published: September 2021

Nickel (Ni) catalyzed carbon-carbon (C−C) cross-coupling has been considerably developed in last decades and has demonstrated unique reactivities compared to palladium. However, existing Ni catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, despite success in organic synthesis, are still subject to the use of air-sensitive nucleophiles (i.e. Grignard and organozinc reagents), or catalysts (i.e. Ni0 pre-catalysts), significantly limiting their academic and industrial adoption. Herein, we report that, through electrochemical voltammetry screening and optimization, the redox neutral C(sp2)‒C(sp3) cross-coupling can be accomplished in an undivided cell configuration using bench-stable aryl halide or β-bromostyrene (electrophiles) and benzylic trifluoroborate (nucleophiles) reactants, non-precious, bench stable catalysts consisting of NiCl2•glyme pre-catalyst and polypyridine ligands under ambient conditions. The broad reaction scope and good yields of the Ni-catalyzed electrochemical coupling reaction were confirmed by 48 examples of aryl/β-styrenyl chloride/bromide and benzylic trifluoroborates. Its potential applications were demonstrated by late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals and natural amino acid modification. Furthermore, this electrochemical C−C cross-coupling reaction was demonstrated at gram-scale in a flow-cell electrolyzer for practical industrial adoption. Finally, an array of chemical and electrochemical studies mechanistically indicates that electrochemical C−C cross-coupling reaction proceeds through an unconventional radical trans-metalation mechanism.
MKP-1 modulates ubiquitination/phosphorylation of TLR signaling
Authors: Talreja Jaya , Bauerfeld Christian , Wang Xiantao , Hafner Markus , Liu Yusen , Samavati Lobelia
Published: September 2021

Ubiquitination and phosphorylation are reversible posttranslational protein modifications regulating physiological and pathological processes. MAPK phosphatase (MKP)-1 regulates innate and adaptive immunity. The multifaceted roles of MKP-1 were attributed to dephosphorylation of p38 and JNK MAPKs. We show that the lack of MKP-1 modulates the landscape of ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinase enzymes (DUBs). MKP-1−/− showed an aberrant regulation of several DUBs and increased expression of proteins and genes involved in IL-1/TLR signaling upstream of MAPK, including IL-1R1, IRAK1, TRAF6, phosphorylated TAK1, and an increased K63 polyubiquitination on TRAF6. Increased K63 polyubiquitination on TRAF6 was associated with an enhanced phosphorylated form of A20. Among abundant DUBs, ubiquitin-specific protease-13 (USP13), which cleaves polyubiquitin-chains on client proteins, was substantially enhanced in murine MKP-1–deficient BMDMs. An inhibitor of USP13 decreased the K63 polyubiquitination on TRAF6, TAK1 phosphorylation, IL-1β, and TNF-α induction in response to LPS in BMDMs. Our data show for the first time that MKP-1 modulates the ligase activity of TRAF6 through modulation of specific DUBs.

Taking advantage of the evolutionary conserved nature of ATAD2, we report here a series of parallel functional studies in human, mouse, and Schizosaccharomyces pombe to investigate ATAD2’s conserved functions. In S. pombe, the deletion of ATAD2 ortholog, abo1, leads to a dramatic decrease in cell growth, with the appearance of suppressor clones recovering normal growth. The identification of the corresponding suppressor mutations revealed a strong genetic interaction between Abo1 and the histone chaperone HIRA. In human cancer cell lines and in mouse embryonic stem cells, we observed that the KO of ATAD2 leads to an accumulation of HIRA. A ChIP-seq mapping of nucleosome-bound HIRA and FACT in Atad2 KO mouse ES cells demonstrated that both chaperones are trapped on nucleosomes at the transcription start sites of active genes, resulting in the abnormal presence of a chaperone-bound nucleosome on the TSS-associated nucleosome-free regions. Overall, these data highlight an important layer of regulation of chromatin dynamics ensuring the turnover of histone-bound chaperones.

Objective. To estimate the results of peritoneoectomy and multiorgan resection in the treatment of prevalent tumors of abdominal cavity and small pelvis.
Materials and methods. The results of treatment of 246 patiemts with prevalent abdominal cavity tumors were studied. The patients were distributed into two groups: Group I – 209 patients, to whom complete and optimal cytoreduction was performed, and Group II – 37 patients, to whom suboptimal cytoreduction was done. Intraoperative characteristics, the term of stationary stay, postoperative morbidity, lethality, timeliness of intestinal function restoration and the patients’ quality of life were estimated.
Results. The cytoreduction volume increase enhances the postoperative morbidity rate, connected predominantly with multiple resection of intestine and surgery of diaphragm. In patients of Group I degradation of the quality of life indices was noted through 1 mo postoperatively.
Conclusion. Using multiorgan resection and peritoneoectomy it is possible to achieve complete and optimal volume of cytoreduction. Application of multidisciplinary approach, new operative procedures, modern surgical instruments and energies permit to reduce the postoperative morbidity rate.

Порівняльна морфологія квітки Hymenocallis littoralis (Jacq.) Salisb. (AmaryllidaceaeJ.St.-Hil.)
Authors: Fishchuk Oksana
Published: September 2021

Вивчено морфологічну будову та васкулярну анатомію квітки Hymenocallis littoralis. Вияв-лено нові морфологічні ознаки вертикальної зональності гінецею та васкулярної анатомії квітки, які раніше не використовувались у систематиці родини Amaryllidaceae. Мікроморфологічні препарати 10 квіток Hymenocallis littoralis виготовили, використовуючи стандартні методи просочення рослинного матеріалу па-рафіном. Були виготовлені зрізи завтовшки 15-20 мкм за допомогою ротаційного мікротома. Зрізи фарбу-вали Сафраніном та Астра-Блау й приклеювали Еукіттом. Ми встановили наявність двох вертикальних зон у гінецеї Hymenocallis littoralis: короткої симплікатної та дуже довгої гемісимплікатної. Мікроморфологію та васкулярну анатомію квітки вивчали за допомогою поперечних зрізів квітів. Квітконіжка Hymenocallis littoralis має провідний циліндр при основі, який вище дає початок дорзальним та септальним пучкам плодолистка, які вище об’єднуються з парними вентральними пучками плодолистка, утворюючи дорзальну жилку. Слід насінного зачатка однопучковий. Сліди дорзальних і септальних пучків плодолистка трипучковий. Сліди ти-чинок однопучкові. Септальні і дорзальні пучки плодолистка дають початок слідам зовнішніх і внутрішніх листочкам оцвітини, а вони – слідам тичинок. Нові дані допомогли поглибити знання про морфологію та васкулярну анатомію квітки Hymenocallis littoralis та допоможуть порівняти отримані морфологічні й анато-мічні особливості з ознаками, вивченими раніше для представників родини Amaryllidaceae, для подальшого їх використання в систематиці.

Acerca de la responsabilidad penal: Reconstrucción y sistematización de sus acepciones teórico-conceptuales en el campo de la criminología
Authors: Varela Osvaldo Héctor , Rojas Breu Gabriela
Published: September 2021

La responsabilidad penal es un concepto estructural dentro de la criminología. Sin embargo, la formulación discursiva que soporta dicho concepto admite distintas lógicas y contenidos, siendo relevante realizar una sistematización y revisión de este constructo según sus diversos contextos de enunciación considerando las grávidas consecuencias teóricas e institucionales que se desprenden de su conceptualización. Por tal motivo, este trabajo tiene por objeto identificar las diversas acepciones teórico-conceptuales que asume la responsabilidad penal en discursos referenciales de la criminología tales como el de la escuela de derecho penal liberal clásica, la escuela positiva, la nueva criminología, la criminología aplicada y la psicología jurídica asociada a la función clínica del derecho. El trabajo presenta un diseño de carácter descriptivo e interpretativo. Las categorías de investigación serán de exclusivo alcance cualitativo, al tiempo que los procedimientos consistirán en el relevamiento de fuentes secundaria y la revisión bibliográfica. Se concluye que la responsabilidad penal va a asumir distintos estatutos según la gravitación y conceptualización de los elementos que la integran: la reacción penal, el acto delictivo y el autor de dicho acto. De esta manera, la responsabilidad podrá ser consabida como responsabilidad moral, social, judicial o subjetiva. Del relevamiento expuesto, no obstante, es dable extraer un elemento recurrente: el ostracismo al que es compelida la dimensión subjetiva, lo cual ubica a la psicología jurídica en posición de recuperar y preservar aquella dimensión para que la pena no sea degradada a la lógica del castigo.
La policía en la primera línea contra la pandemia: reflexiones sobre un papel distorsionado
Authors: Lasierra Fransesc Guillen
Published: September 2021

La pandemia causa por el virus COVID-19 ha provocado una crisis sanitaria mundial sin precedentes en las últimas décadas. La reacción mayoritaria de los estados, aparte de las medidas estrictamente sanitarias, ha sido la limitación de los derechos que implicaban movilidad y contacto social a fin de evitar la transmisión de la enfermedad. Prácticamente todos los países han establecido confinamientos de la población de diversa intensidad. Estas medidas han afectado diversamente a los diversos sectores sociales y han tenido una influencia notoria, aunque desigual, en la evolución de la criminalidad, Para el cumplimiento de estas medidas se ha requerido la actuación de la Policía (en menor medida al Ejército), Este trabajo pretende demostrar que el papel de la Policía en cada país no ha estado directamente relacionado con la gravedad de la pandemia o la mayor disciplina o indisciplina de la ciudadanía sino en función de la cultura política y los modelos policiales adoptados en los diversos países. Finalmente, el trabajo esboza las pautas que deberían presidir la actuación policial en situación de pandemia para conseguir unas conductas más seguras por parte de la población, sin agravar la situación de los grupos especialmente vulnerables, ni incrementar las desigualdades y mantener la confianza de amplios sectores sociales.
Better data management, one nudge at a time

Published: September 2021

How do you help people improve their data management skills? For our team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, we decided the answer was "one nudge at a time”.

A study conducted by Wiley and Mischo (2016) found that Illinois researchers are aware of data services available but under-utilize them. Many researchers do not consider data management as a concern distinct from researching and producing scholarly work products. In 2017, the RDS piloted the Data Nudge – a monthly, opt-in email service to “nudge” Illinois researchers toward good data management practices, and towards utilizing data services on campus. The aim of the Data Nudge was to address the gap between knowing about a service and using it by highlighting best practices and campus resources.

The topics covered in the Data Nudge center around data. Some topics are applicable to everyone, such as data back-up, documentation, and file naming conventions. Other topics are specific to Illinois, like storage options, events, and conferences.

After four years, the Data Nudge has accumulated over 400 subscribers through word-of-mouth, marketing channels on campus and inclusion in subject liaisons' instructional workshops. It receives stable open rates averaging at 52% (compared to 19.44% average industry rate for Higher Education*) and many compliments from subscribers. We expect the Data Nudge to continue supplementing workshops and training as an effective means of communication to reach researchers on our campus. In the spirit of re-use, we are in the process of archiving the Data Nudge topics in a reusable format, readily adaptable by other institutions.
