Мақалада технологиялық инновациялар мен жаһандық сын-қатерлер кезінде ғылыми, технологиялық, инженерлік және физикалық құзыреттіліктер (STEM) маңызды бола түсуде. Ол тәсіл оқушылардың жеке ғылыми сауаттылығын арттырады, халықаралық экономикалық бәсекеге қабілеттілік пен этикалық азаматтықты қоса алғанда, оларды планетамызға ұқыпты қарауға баулу маңыздылығын жүзеге асырады. STEM білім беру Қазақстанда 2014 жылдан бері белсенді түрде дамып келеді. Тіпті елімізде оқытудың жаңа әдістерін жасап, сынақтан өткізу үшін эксперименталды мектептер құрылуда. Дегенмен, халықаралық студенттерді бағалау бағдарламасының соңғы нәтижелері тіпті Еуропа, АҚШ және Австралия сияқты экономикалық дамыған елдерде физика немесе жаратылыстану ғылымдарындағы студенттердің шамамен 20 пайызында жеткілікті дағдылардың жоқтығын көрсетеді. Бұл тенденция STEM біліміне қатысты іс-әрекеттің шұғыл қажеттілігін көрсетеді. Физика барлық басқа STEM пәндерінің негізінде жатыр деп кеңінен танылғанымен, оның интеграцияланған STEM білім берудегі рөлі бағаланбайтындығына нақты дәлелдер бар. Физика көптеген мамандықтар үшін, әсіресе ғылым, технология және инженерия үшін маңызды. Дегенмен, физика көбінесе қиын деп қабылданады, нәтижесінде көптеген студенттер ғылым, технология, инженерия және физика (STEM) пәндерінен шығып, ғылыми, инженерлік және технологиялық мансапқа есіктерін тарс жабады. Нақты өмірлік жағдаяттармен байланысы бар тапсырмалар балалардың қызығушылығын, мәселені шешуге деген ұмтылысын оятады, өйткені мұндай дағды болашақта шынайы өмірде пайдалы болуы мүмкін. Біз аталмыш мақалада физикалық білім берудегі өзгерістерге балама тәсілді ұсына отырып бұл баламаның STEM біліміне қалай қолданылатынын көрсетеміз. Сонымен қатар физиканың STEM біліміндегі рөлін және оны үш пәнаралық тәсілмен қалай ілгерілетуге болатындығын зерттей отырып, осы мәселенің мынандай элементтерін қарастырамыз: (1) ХХІ ғасыр дағдылары; (2) физикалық модельдеу. Мақаланың соңында біз осы екі аспектіге қатысты зерттеулердің әлеуетін талқылаймыз және болашақта қандай жұмыс істелу керектігін көрсетеміз.
КЕЙІПКЕРЛЕР МЕН ӘДЕБИ ШЫҒАРМАЛАРДАҒЫ АРХЕТИП

Published: January 2024

Мақалада қазақ әдебиетіндегі және әлем әдебиетіндегі архетип кейіпкерлердің пайда болуы, өзгеруі сөз болады. Кейіпкерлердің өзгеруі мен басқа сипатқа ие болуы архетипке байланысты. «Архетип» терминін 20 ғасырда психолог Карл Густав Юнг енгізген. Әдеби архетип салыстырмалы құбылыс: сюжеттің дамуына қарай кейіпкер бейнесі айтарлықтай өзгерістерге ұшырауы мүмкін. Бұған мысал ретінде Лев Толстойдың Наташа Ростовасын келтіре аламыз. Көркем әдебиеттегі кейіпкерлердің мынадай архетиптері бар: Нағыз ер қаһарман, азған кейіпкер, дос мінезді кейіпкер, бүлікшіл әрі айлакер кейіпкер, жоғалған жан, шытырман оқиғаларды іздеуші, шындық іздеуші кейіпкер. Шығармалардағы әйел кейіпкерлердің бірнеше архетиптері бар: тәкаппар әрі іскер, өз пікірінде қатал және айналасындағылардан мойынсұнуды талап етуші, сенгіш, батыл, азғырушы. Кейіпкерлер секілді әңгіме архетипі де белгілі бір заңдылыққа бағынады. Көркем шығармаларда әр уақытта пайда болатын белгілі бір сюжеттік архетиптер бар. «Том Сойердің шытырман оқиғалары» шығармасындағы архетиптік сюжет баланың өсуін, түрлі қиындықтарды танып-білуін көрсетеді. «Кек» сюжеттік архетипін қолданудың мысалы ретінде Александр Дюманың «Граф Монте-Кристо» кітабын алуға болады. Басты кейіпкердің басты мақсаты – әділеттілікті қалпына келтіру. «Саяхат» архетиптік сюжетіне Джон Толкиеннің шығармаларын, атап айтқанда, оның «Сақиналардың әміршісі» кітабын келтіруге болады. Бұл кітапқа көптеген оқырмандардың қызығушылық танытқаны белгілі. Бірнеше архетиптерді қолдану автордың ниетін толық ашуға көмектеседі. Оның жарқын мысалы – Лев Толстойдың «Соғыс және бейбітшілік» романы. Мұнда біз бірден бірнеше архетиптердің тоғысқанын көреміз: «махаббат», «құрбандық», «жетілгендік», «қарсылық», трансформация.

Published: January 2024

The primary objective of the current study has been to assess the impact of a positive organizational climate on organizational embeddedness. It intends to foresee whether the following elements of organizational climate i.e. perceived organizational support, trust, and procedural justice result in fostering organizational embeddedness or not. For this, data had been collected from employees of different organizations in Pakistan, particularly Karachi. The sample size for the study is 411 while only those employees had been contacted who have spent at least a year in the current organization. Moreover, the data from employees have been gathered through a questionnaire and then the results have been assessed using SPSS and Smart PLS. The results depict a positive relationship between organizational climate and organizational embeddedness. Thus, the study implies that if organizations want to embed their employees, then they should ensure the provision of support, trust, and procedural justice.

Published: January 2024

The secondary phases of Mg alloys are closely related to corrosion. In this work, the correlation between secondary phases and corrosion in a Mg-6Gd-Y-Al alloy was identified by x-ray computed tomography technology. The influence of aging treatment on secondary phases of Mg alloys during corrosion was studied. The corrosion morphology of Mg alloy was examined in situ using three-dimensional reconstruction techniques. To quantify the effects of secondary phases on the corrosion of Mg alloys, the variation of average number density, average equivalent diameter, and average distance were investigated. The corrosion rate of Mg alloys was measured by electrochemical tests. It was found that after low temperature aging at 95°C, the corrosion rate of Mg alloys decreased by approximately 50%. This is due to the uniform distribution of secondary phases which increases the local overall potential and improves the protection of surface films.

Published: January 2024

Importance: Built environment structures affect a population’s occupational participation and health outcomes.

Objective: To examine how occupational opportunities available within walking distance are related to a community’s overall health.

Design: Secondary data analysis.

Setting: Community.

Participants: Community-dwelling adults.

Outcomes and Measures: Data from the AARP Livability Index and Walk Score® for 78 zip codes were used for path analysis and multiple regression analysis to investigate the relationship between various community factors and the health of the community.

Results: Path analysis for 78 zip codes revealed that the primary determinants of health score were destination diversity and social walk score. Multiple regression analysis revealed that destination diversity (β < .001) and exercise opportunity (β < .001) were significant factors for health score. Multiple regression analysis revealed that destination diversity (β < .001) was a significant factor for social score.

Conclusions and Relevance: The results suggest that increased diversity of destinations in a community and opportunities available for social participation within walking distance are associated with better health of residents in the community.

Plain-Language Summary: This study highlights how the built environment and opportunities for social participation are associated with a community’s overall health. This study found that participation in a variety of group activities contributes to community members’ well-being. Understanding how the built environment is related to health outcomes may better equip occupational therapy practitioners to improve the health of an individual, group, or population.

Published: January 2024

Introduction

Red yeast rice and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are dietary supplements with well-known lipid-lowering, anti-inflammatory, and vascular health improving effects. However, they have rarely been tested in combination. The aim of our study was to test the short-term effect of a combined nutraceutical including red yeast rice and PUFAs on plasma lipids, jigh-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and endothelial function in healthy subjects.

Material and methods

We carried out a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial with parallel groups testing the effect of 8 weeks of supplementation with softgels containing red yeast rice (2.8 mg monacolins) and PUFAs (588 mg of fish oil, standardized in PUFAs: 350 EPA, 45 mg DHA) versus placebo. A full lipid panel, hsCRP, and endothelial reactivity were measured at the baseline and after 8 weeks of treatment.

Results

The tested combined nutraceutical was very well tolerated, and after 8 weeks of supplementation it was associated with a 17.3 ±3.4% reduction of lipid-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), a 12.1 ±2.2% reduction of total cholesterol (TC), a 22.3 ±4.3% reduction of apoB, and a –14.9 ±1.8% reduction of hsCRP, as well as a significant improvement of pulse volume change by 5.0 ±0.9%.

Conclusions

The tested combined dietary supplement containing red yeast rice and PUFAs was very well tolerated and significantly improved LDL-C, TC, apoB, hsCRP and endothelial function in healthy subjects with suboptimal LDL-cholesterolaemia.
Nonlinear Analysis of the Hand and Foot Force-Time Profiles
in the Four Competitive Swimming Strokes

Published: January 2024

Human locomotion on water depends on the force produced by the swimmer to propel the body forward. Performance of highly complex motor tasks like swimming can yield minor variations that only nonlinear analysis can be sensitive enough to detect. The purpose of the present study was to examine the nonlinear properties of the hand/feet forces and describe their variations across the four competitive swimming strokes performing segmental and full-body swimming. Swimmers performed all-out bouts of 25 m in the four swimming strokes, swimming the full-body stroke, with the arm-pull only and with the leg kicking only. Hand/foot force and swimming velocity were measured. The Higuchi’s fractal dimension (HFD) and sample entropy (SampEn) were used for the nonlinear analysis of force and velocity. Both the arm-pull and leg kicking alone were found to produce similar peak and mean hand/foot forces as swimming the full-body stroke. Hand force was more complex in breaststroke and butterfly stroke; conversely, kicking conditions were more complex in front crawl and backstroke. Moreover, the arm-pull and kicking alone tended to be more complex (higher HFD) but more predictable (lower SampEn) than while swimming the full-body stroke. There was no loss of force production from segmental swimming to the full-body counterpart. In conclusion, the number of segments in action influences the nonlinear behavior of the force produced and, when combining the four limbs, the complexity of the hand/foot force tends to decrease.
Physiological Responses to Supramaximal Running Exercise
with End-Expiratory Breath Holding up to the Breaking Point
Authors: Xavier WOORONS , Daussin Frédéric , Combes Adrien , Mucci Patrick
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to assess the physiological responses to repeated running exercise performed at supramaximal intensity and with end-expiratory breath holding (EEBH) up to the breaking point. Eight male runners participated in two running testing sessions on a motorized treadmill. In the first session, participants performed two sets of 8 repetitions at 125% of maximal aerobic velocity and with maximum EEBH. Each repetition started at the onset of EEBH and ended at its release. In the second session, participants replicated the same procedure, but with unrestricted breathing (URB). The change in cerebral and muscle oxygenation (Δ[Hbdiff]), total haemoglobin concentration (Δ[THb]) and muscle reoxygenation were continuously assessed. End-tidal oxygen (PETO2) and carbon dioxide pressure (PETCO2), arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) were also measured throughout exercise. On average, EEBH was maintained for 10.1 ± 1 s. At the breaking point of EEBH, PETO2 decreased to 54.1 ± 8 mmHg, whereas PETCO2 increased to 74.8 ± 3.1 mmHg. At the end of repetitions, SpO2 (nadir values 74.9 ± 5.0 vs. 95.7 ± 0.8%) and HR were lower with EEBH than with URB. Cerebral and muscle Δ[Hbdiff] were also lower with EEBH, whereas this condition induced higher cerebral and muscle Δ[THb] and greater muscle reoxygenation. This study showed that performing repeated bouts of supramaximal running exercises with EEBH up to the breaking point induced a fall in arterial, cerebral and muscle oxygenation compared with the URB condition. These phenomena were accompanied by increases in regional blood volume likely resulting from compensatory vasodilation to preserve oxygen delivery to the brain and muscles.
Diagnostic performance of cone-beam computed tomography
for apical periodontitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Abesi Farida , Golikani Ali
Published: January 2024

Introduction

We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies examining the performance of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging in apical periodontitis (AP) prediction. This was done to address the contradictory results reported in the existing literature on this topic.

Material and methods

We searched the Embase, PubMed, Cochrane library, and Scopus databases for literature published from inception to 30 June 2023 without language restriction using appropriate keywords. We included studies that reported the diagnostic accuracy values of CBCT in AP detection among humans by comparing AP diagnosis with a control group without lesions. We pooled the diagnostic accuracy values using a random effects model and presented the estimates as percentage and 95% confidence interval (CI). The heterogeneity between the surveys was explored by I2 statistic.

Results

Out of 301 citations initially identified, a total of 8 eligible studies were finally included. According to the analyses, the overall pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) estimated for CBCT were 94.6% (95% CI: 90.2-97.1; I2 = 55.9%, p = 0.026), 91.2% (95% CI: 81.7-96.0; I2 = 81.6%, p < 0.001), 93.0% (95% CI: 87.4-96.2; I2 = 56.5%, p = 0.024), and 92.3% (95% CI: 82.3-96.8; I2 = 86.4%, p < 0.001), respectively. The overall pooled sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of digital radiography were 61.0% (95% CI: 38.3-79.8; I2 = 94.4%, p < 0.001), 97.3% (95% CI: 85.6-99.5; I2 = 86.7%, p < 0.001), 98.3% (95% CI: 92.0-99.6; I2 = 74.4%, p = 0.002), and 41.6% (95% CI: 28.0-56.6; I2 = 89.5%, p < 0.001), respectively.

Conclusions

CBCT imaging has excellent diagnostic accuracy in AP prediction. Also, CBCT has better discriminant test performance for AP than digital radiography.

Published: January 2024

Bycatch refers to the unintentional capture of non-targeted animals during fishing activities.  Worldwide, bycatch poses a significant threat to marine mammal species. In the Southeast Asian region, information on bycatch is particularly scarce, and there is little indication that the issue is adequately addressed anywhere in the region. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted face-to-face interview surveys across fishing communities in the Malaysian side of the Brunei Bay. We collected two datasets of marine mammal bycatch incidences from two different groups of fishermen (N=90 of 356 reported dugong data, 0.3%, and N=62 of 146 reported dolphin data, 0.4%), to estimate the levels of mortalities of the marine mammals. More than four fifths (82.1%) of respondents reported that they have accidentally captured at least one marine mammal (25.0% dugong and 42.5% dolphin) throughout their lifetime as a fisherman, with the highest frequency of occurrence being reported by fishers using gillnets (53.5% and 38.7%, respectively). Our interview results suggest an annual bycatch of 0.22 (95% CI = 0.13 to 0.32) for dugongs and 0.65 (95% CI = 0.40 to 0.88) for dolphins in the Malaysian Brunei Bay. Findings from this study provides important data to guide fisheries resource managers in providing protection and conservation efforts the endangered marine mammal populations.

Uttarakhand
Authors: Gairola Nidhi , Belwal O.K.
Published: January 2024

Infant mortality is a key indicator of national health, as it is linked to many factors such as maternal health, quality of life and access to health care facilities, economic conditions, and public health systems. The infant mortality rate (IMR), expressed as the rate per 1000 children born within a year and die before reaching the age of one, has been the subject of many studies and public policies. Uttarakhand’s infant mortality rate was decreased 42 to, 40 and 39.1as per NFHS-3 (2005-06), NFHS-4 (2015-16) and NFHS-5 (2020-21) respectively. Infant mortality is considered to be the best indicator of how a society meets the needs of its people. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of seasonal changes on infant mortality in selected areas in
Pauri Garhwal (Uttarakhand). In this study, infant mortality data was collected for six consecutive years (2017- 2022) from various health centres in Pauri Garhwal Nagar Palika. Seasonal variation in total infant mortality was analysed using monthly mortality data collected during the study period. Regression models are used to measure seasonal effects on total infant mortality. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. The frequency of infant deaths in winter month December was very high compared to other seasons. The majority of infant deaths were reported due to cold weather in this study area, especially in November and December. This
study concludes that seasonal differences significantly affect infant mortality in Pauri-Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India. Because children are most sensitive to environmental conditions in the first year of life, policy makers should consider the effect of seasonality on infant mortality.

Authors: Sinha Neelam , Sinha Piyush
Published: January 2024

The electric quadrupole moment (EQM) of a nucleus is an important parameter used to determine the departure of the nucleus from its spherical shape. Besides the study of the nucleus, determination of the EQM value finds applications in solid state physics and in other areas such as chemical, medical and biological sciences. This
paper focuses on a method developed for the calculation of nuclear structural properties of light nuclear systems which is used here to calculate the nuclear electric quadrupole moment for the ground state of 7lithium nucleus. In this approach the required anti-symmetrized nuclear wave function is constructed by using combination of shell model, cluster model, resonating group method, generator coordinate method, and the complex generator coordinate technique. The ground state of 7li nucleus is considered as a nuclear system consisting of one alpha cluster, one deuteron cluster and a neutron cluster. The wave function is written by taking internal spatial function, spin, and isospin functions where arguments of the internal function of clusters include the parameter coordinates and generator coordinates. The consideration of the parameters viz., total angular momentum, spin, and definite parity of the nucleus makes the approach inclusive. While the relative motion wave functions are taken into account between the alpha cluster and deuteron cluster and secondly between the alpha cluster and neutron cluster. The potential chosen in this approach is the Wood-Saxon potential which is somewhat between harmonic oscillator potential well and
square well potential. By incorporating all the aforesaid inputs, a matrix of 7×7 order is constructed which leads to the calculation of EQM of 7lithium. The results compared with the available experimental and other theoretical data. The present value of EQM is found in good agreement with experimental data.

Published: January 2024

A preliminary survey of avifauna was carried out along the Naaj River in the Billawar region of the Kathua district in Jammu and Kashmir, aimed at assessing the diversity of aquatic birds. The field study spanned from October 2020 to September 2021, utilizing the point count method to document the diversity and relative abundance of bird species. Results revealed a total of 37 aquatic bird species, distributed across 8 orders and 17 families within the surveyed river. The Shannon Wiener diversity index was employed to calculate bird diversity, ranging from H’= 2.599±1.07 to H’= 3.343±1.81. Species richness, measured by the Margalef index, varied from 6.58±2.41 to 7.18±2.41. Among the 37 bird species observed, 22 were categorized as common, 8 as rare, and 7 as abundant in the study area.

With the aim of securing the nutritional security with legumes the study aims at the effect of hydrogen peroxide and vermicompost on germination as well as morphology of Vigna mungo. Before sowing the seeds were treated with hydrogen peroxide as well as vermicompost. Then after sowing observations were made on the percentage of germination, plant height, number of leaves, width and height of leaves, area of
leaves and root length and nodule formation. The percentage of germination is calculated after 7 days of seed sowing. The plant height was measured at 6, 12, 17, 24, 35 and 42 days after seed germinating with the help of measuring scale. The root length was measured after 16 and 25 days of germination. The leaf width and length
were also measured with the help of measuring scale and leaf area was calculated on this basis. From the experiment conducted it was found that the seed germination percentage was highest in Vermicompost treated soil in Vigna mungo. The germination percentage in treatment with vermicompost (T3) was highest 95% then followed by 85% germination rate in treatment with hydrogen peroxide (T2) and the least 65% in the control (T1). Moreover, the seeds treated with vermicompost show tremendous increase in plant height, increase in number of leaves and relatively large leaf area compared to the seeds treated with hydrogen peroxide and then followed by control. Therefore, the study recommends the use of vermicompost over any inorganic material or chemical.
Role of Yama-Niyama in Socio-personal Development of an Individual in the postCovid Era
Authors: Thapliyal Vatsala , Tyagi Prerna , Jaiswal Garima , Thakur Ghanshyam Singh
Published: January 2024

Corona virus disease (Covid-19) struck China for the very first time in Dec 2019. Since then, it has killed millions of people. Worldwide, almost every individual has been a victim of this pandemic in some way or the other. Apart from pharmacological treatment, Yoga has been extremely effective in the fight against Covid-19. Here we will focus only on Yama-Niyama, the first and foremost two pillars of Ashtanga Yoga (an
eight-fold path of Yoga). The theoretical aspect of these two Yoga limbs is being discussed, which can be helpful in the socio-personal development of an individual in the post-Covid period. As no machine can function without an engine, in the same way, Ashtanga Yoga is incomplete without the practice of Yama-Niyama. Although practicing Yama-Niyama is directly proportional to the moral upliftment, their pursuance has the
potential to develop an all-around personality. However, in this age of materialism, almost everyone has turned a deaf ear to these powerful practises, and if this continues, it will undoubtedly lead to a significant societal moral collapse. To come out of this scenario and bring social harmony, man will have to churn his inner self by
incorporating the profound perspectives of Yama-Niyama in lifestyle on a routine basis. It is not just a fantasy, but we are convinced that if every individual starts adopting Yama-Niyama, then collectively, an extraordinary change will be clearly visible in the society. This will help rejuvenate the entire community severely impacted
by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Published: January 2024

Aim: The most crucial step in rescue operations is the safety of rescuers. Two critical points were addressed to contribute to the literature. The first point is that the intervention of the rescuers together with the local people before ensuring the safety may result in more catastrophic disasters, and the second point is the course of avalanche victims after being rescued.
Method: After the avalanche disaster that occurred in February 2020, the team, who went to help, was exposed to the avalanche disaster that happened again. A total of 65 people were rescued with injuries in both disasters. Data of patients admitted to neighboring hospitals (secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities) in Van province and 112 Emergency Health Services data were recorded.
Result: 41 avalanche victims died, 40 were out of the hospital and one victim in a local secondary healthcare facility. Among the 65 rescued people, one was admitted to the intensive care unit, 8 underwent emergency surgery, 40 were admitted to the hospital for follow-up purposes, and 16 were discharged after initial treatment in the emergency department. Of the patients, 63 were male, one was female, and the mean age was 36.39 years.
Conclusion: The primary strategy in an avalanche disaster is to stay in the safe zone. As with all major disasters, various types of injuries can occur. Although the priority is to reduce deaths, determining the most common injury areas of individuals exposed to disasters will help prevent possible deaths and disabilities.

Naturaleza jurídica de la renta activa de inserción. La puerta de acceso a prestaciones contributivas de la Seguridad Social
Authors: Blanco Pérez José Luis
Published: January 2024

El presente trabajo analiza la naturaleza jurídica de la renta activa de inserción (RAI) desde el punto de vista normativo y, en especial, el doctrinal. Las diferentes sentencias del Tribunal Supremo (TS) y de los tribunales superiores de justicia (TSJ) han establecido premisas metodológicas que coadyuvan a definir esa naturaleza jurídica de la RAI y a suplir la indefinición provocada por los diferentes reales decretos reguladores de la RAI. Además, esta doctrina judicial ha permitido: (1) equiparar el agotamiento de la RAI al agotamiento de una prestación de desempleo, exigida para poder acceder al subsidio de desempleo para mayores de 55 años, y (2) relativizar el requisito de situación de asimilada a la de alta para acceder a una prestación contributiva. Sin embargo, encontramos casuísticas que todavía no han llegado al conocimiento del TS, pero que sí han sido resueltas por los TSJ, aunque con pronunciamientos dispares y bajo una ausencia de homogeneidad de criterio. Siendo deseable, por ello, la existencia de un criterio común adoptado por el poder legislativo y/o judicial, que ahonde en una mayor seguridad jurídica para este colectivo que, precisamente, por sus circunstancias personales debemos evitar apartarlo de la sociedad y ampararlo de su situación de pobreza o exclusión social.
La nulidad de la decisión extintiva de la relación laboral especial penitenciaria y el derecho del interno a la indemnización de daños y perjuicios
Authors: García Valverde María Dolores
Published: January 2024

El objeto controvertido afecta a la extinción de la relación laboral. Y, en concreto, se debate el derecho a la indemnización de daños y perjuicios que tendrá el penado-trabajador cuando el centro penitenciario extingue la relación laboral existente, pero dicha extinción es declarada nula. Hasta la sentencia objeto de comentario no existía unificación de doctrina en la materia, aunque sí había dictado numerosas sentencias el Tribunal Supremo sobre cuestiones relativas a la extinción de esta relación laboral especial.
¿El principio del fin del «privilegio» notarial en materia de sucesión de empresas?
Authors: Ballester Laguna Fernando
Published: January 2024

En esta sentencia, el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea resuelve por vez primera una cuestión prejudicial sobre la aplicación del artículo 1.1 de la Directiva 2001/23/CE sobre transmisión de empresas en el ámbito de las relaciones laborales del personal que presta sus servicios en las notarías, ofreciendo una respuesta afirmativa sobre el particular. Esta doctrina, además, contradice la jurisprudencia española del Tribunal Supremo que hasta la fecha ha venido rechazando la aplicación de los artículos 44 del Estatuto de los Trabajadores y 1.1 de la Directiva 2001/23/CE en este ámbito. Todo apunta a que el Tribunal Supremo se verá obligado a cambiar su doctrina.
Gestión sostenible de los recursos humanos y resiliencia empresarial en el contexto pandémico
Authors: Jimeno de la Maza Francisco Javier , Redondo Cristóbal Mercedes
Published: January 2024

A medida que en los últimos años ha aumentado la atención que se concede a los enfoques de compromiso con la sostenibilidad en el mundo de los negocios, se incrementa también el interés por la integración de la sostenibilidad en el área de los recursos humanos, así como por las cuestiones relacionadas específicamente con la gestión sostenible de los recursos humanos. El presente trabajo pretende analizar si las prácticas corporativas en sostenibilidad de recursos humanos han influido en la capacidad de resiliencia organizacional durante la etapa de la crisis pandémica de la COVID-19. Al objeto de llevar a cabo este estudio, hemos seleccionado una amplia muestra de empresas españolas, con datos disponibles que hacen referencia a proyecciones de puntuaciones en sostenibilidad, que han sido proporcionados por una agencia de calificación especializada y que miden once dimensiones distintas relacionadas con prácticas de sostenibilidad en el área de recursos humanos. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que determinadas iniciativas en gestión sostenible de recursos humanos pueden haber tenido un efecto amortiguador del impacto del contexto pandémico sobre las empresas que las han implantado, particularmente en lo referido a contener los niveles excesivos de endeudamiento.
¿Tramposo e injusto? Entonces, es humano. Robots sociales educativos y ética sintética
Authors: Gómez-León María Isabel
Published: January 2024

La educación comienza a hacer uso de la inteligencia artificial emocional a través de robots educativos antropomorfizados. La evidencia respalda que los estudiantes (hombres y mujeres) son capaces de crear vínculos emocionales con estos agentes. Sin embargo, cada vez se están encontrando más casos de desinhibición abusiva en este tipo de interacciones, como degradaciones racistas o sexistas, abuso de poder y violencia. Algunos investigadores alertan sobre las consecuencias negativas que este tipo de conductas pueden tener a largo plazo, tanto para la educación ética de los estudiantes como para los robots que aprenden de estas conductas. A pesar de su relevancia desde una perspectiva social y educativa, existen pocos estudios que intenten comprender los mecanismos que subyacen a estas prácticas inmorales o colectivamente dañinas. El objetivo de este artículo es revisar y analizar las investigaciones que han tratado de estudiar el comportamiento antiético del ser humano a través de su interacción con los robots sociales antropomórficos. Se realizó un estudio bibliométrico descriptivo siguiendo los criterios de la declaración PRISMA. Los resultados muestran que, bajo ciertas circunstancias, la antropomorfización y la atribución de intencionalidad a los agentes robóticos podría ser desventajosa, provocando actitudes de rechazo, deshumanización e incluso violencia. Sin embargo, una visión más realista tanto de las capacidades y limitaciones de estos agentes como de los mecanismos que guían la conducta humana podría ayudar a aprovechar el gran potencial de esta tecnología para promover el desarrollo moral y la conciencia ética de los estudiantes.
