An Updated Review on Doxycycline
Authors: Jodh Rahul , Tawar Mukund , Gomkale Kiran , Jari Sakshi , Toply Jafer , Faisal Nawed
Published: December 2022

The structural isomer of the tetracycline family is doxycycline. It's a semi-synthetic medication with antibacterial properties against a wide range of germs and excellent intracellular penetration. Bacterial resistance can take many different forms, although the ribosomal or plasmid pathways are the most common. Propionibacterium acnes has gained antibiotic resistance in most cases due to an ARNr mutation. Doxycycline has anti-inflammatory effects that manifest themselves through a variety of methods. Doxycycline is quickly absorbed and practically fully absorbed in the GI tract. Food does not affect absorption. With 90% of the molecule attached, it has a strong but fragile affinity for proteins. The majority of tissues and the extravascular compartment are swiftly absorbed. The most common method of excretion is through the bile canal. The bile channel is used for elimination. Tubular reabsorption in the kidney slows down. If you have acne, the daily dosage should be between 50 and 100 micrograms. Despite the scarcity of high-quality assays, there is widespread professional support for their use. It is also effective for rosacea at the same dosage. Doxycycline is being used as a backup antibiotic for chlamydial and mycoplasma urethritis. Additional diseases that can be treated as primary or secondary alternatives include treponematoses, brucellosis, pastoralizes, borreliosis, rickettsiosis, and cholera. Some non-infectious illnesses have been treated with doxycycline. The most common side effects are those that affect the digestive system. Esophageal poisoning has been treated with tablets and plenty of water.
A Review on Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Induced Kidney Diseases
Authors: Pavani P. , Naveena E. , Subhashini P. , Srikanth S. , Naik K. Thirumala , Babu M. Kishore
Published: December 2022

Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are used as over-the-counter drugs for Analgesic and Anti-inflammatory conditions. They inhibit prostaglandins synthesis by acting on Cyclooxygenase enzymes in the Arachidonic cascade which causes various abnormal effects like peptic ulcers, Gastrointestinal bleeding, sodium and water retention, hypertension, hemodynamic kidney injury, nephrotoxicity, stroke, and myocardial infarction when used for a longer duration, especially in older patients/comorbidities patients/ pre-existing renal disease patients. This is because in older patients decrease in glomerular filtration rate and comorbidity conditions increase the risk of NSAIDs and cause Acute Kidney injury, Tubulointerstitial nephritis, and chronic kidney injury. NSAIDs do not cause much risk in patients who are young, without pre-existing kidney disease and without comorbidities. Physicians should educate patients with caution on the usage of NSAIDs for longer periods and should prescribe drugs in a dose-dependent manner.

Authors:   Form of Public Safety and Culture, Cho Young Shin , Chang Koung Oh
Published: December 2022

This study aimed to investigate the fear of dementia, need for dementia prevention education, and dementia attitudes among male public officials in G City. The participants comprised 398 male public officials in G City. Data were collected from March 25 to April 22, 2022. Data analyses were conducted using one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regressions analysis in IBM SPSS Statistics version 25.0. The mean score of the was fear of dementia 2.71±0.80, need for dementia prevention education 4.04±0.76 and dementia attitudes 2.43±0.70. Dementia attitudes had a statistically significant positive correlation with dementia fear(r=.547, p<.001) and a negative correlation with need for dementia prevention education(r=-.103, p=.041). The regression analysis indicated an explanatory power of 34.1%(F=30.323, p<.001). Therefore, a strategy is needed to reduce the fear of dementia among male public officials, and efforts should be made to improve the quality of service provided to local residents by reducing the fear of dementia through customized dementia prevention education, development and operation of various contents.
Ending the Oppression Olympics: Promoting the Concomitant Political Participation of Marginalised Groups in Kenya
Authors: Thuo Luciana
Published: December 2022

The 2010 Constitution of Kenya is laudable for its commitment to redressing the exclusion from political and public life experienced by marginalised groups. Articles 21 and 27 require that the state and public officials take legal and administrative measures to ensure marginalised groups’ participation in governance and other spheres of life. Moreover, Article 100 mandates the passing of a single legislation to provide for the representation in Parliament of women, youths, persons with disabilities, ethnic minorities and marginalised communities. These provisions evince an intention that their inclusion be redressed simultaneously.

However, the equality debate appears to have become synonymous with gender equality or the implementation of the ‘two-thirds gender rule’ as it is popularly known. This rule requires that not more than two-thirds of any elective or appointive position be occupied by one gender. Women’s underrepresentation has dominated litigation on inclusion, academic writing and proposals for electoral reforms.

This unitary approach to inclusion, which privileges one category of difference, makes other marginalised groups doubly invisible. Moreover, statistics demonstrate that despite privileging gender over other factors of exclusion, women’s participation remains marginal. Further, it causes the groups at the bottom to compete rather than cooperate, while still falling short of addressing the informal patterns of prejudice and discrimination that keep the majority of the marginalised on the fringes of public life.

This research proposes the intersectionality approach to policy design to simultaneously promote political participation of the various groups. Intersectionality recognises the role of the various categories of difference as equally important yet conceptually different, examines the relationship between the various categories, and emphasises the interaction between individual and institutional factors in achieving equality. Intersectionality, therefore, provides the most effective approach to diagnosing the factors fuelling exclusion and ultimately providing an effective prescription.
Constitutional Guardianship in Kenya’s Bicameral Legislature
Authors: Ochieng Walter Khobe
Published: December 2022

The Constitution of Kenya of 2010 adopts a bicameral legislative structure, within a devolved system of governance, consisting of the National Assembly and the Senate. In keeping with the devolved structure of government, the Senate’s legislative mandate is to a large extent confined to considering, debating and approving Bills concerning counties as well as determining the allocation of national revenue among counties and providing oversight over the national revenue allocated to the 47 county governments. Over the last ten years, Kenya has witnessed a great consolidation of power by the National Assembly at the expense of the Senate especially with regards to the roles of the chambers over the process of enacting the Division of Revenue Bill. Such consolidation of power attempts to relegate the Senate to a peripheral role within the bicameral legislative institutional structure. Consequently, the Supreme Court has asserted its advisory power and the High Court its judicial review power to mete out this inter-institutional conflict between the National Assembly and the Senate. This paper interrogates the manner Kenyan courts have discharged the contested role of serving as guardians of a legislative institution in a conflict within the bicameral legislative system. It makes the point that while courts have the authority to intervene in inter-cameral conflicts, judicial intervention should be exercised as an option of last resort, only utilised after exhaustion of the constitutionally ordained intra-parliament mediation process.
Legal Education and its Contemporary Challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Kankindi Antoinette , Chimbwanda Victor
Published: December 2022

There is an increasing criticism against law schools. To some, the system does not sufficiently prepare students for the market or to meet society’s needs. Others argue that technology and current trends should inspire new business models in the legal profession. Legal education is also being accused of emphasising theoretical content rather than skills necessary for practice, with the character of African jurisprudence struggling for recognition in the contemporary curriculum. Moreover, a fragmented society under pressure from global shifting values also faces perennial legal challenges relating to issues of justice and other ethical problems trained lawyers may face. Therefore, the role of legal education ought to be re-examined to prioritise the common good without threatening individual interests, which is what the rule of law aims at achieving. This paper investigates the problem from the perspective of unity of knowledge to address the traditional theory-andpractice divide in legal education and argues that the idea of unity of knowledge provides the basis for a correct interdisciplinary approach to solving the problem, relying on systems of legal training as they have developed in some parts of Africa especially Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. Considering such illustrations, this framework is also likely to enable a rational articulation of theory and practice in legal training that can create more space for African views of law as reflected in the current efforts to decolonise legal education in South Africa.
An Examination of the Lomé Charter
Authors: Uppiah Marie Valerie
Published: December 2022

Described as the common heritage of humanity by Arvid Pardo in 1967, the sea has always been unanimously recognised as a source of life. Hosting most of the world’s living and non-living resources, the sea has always attracted human’s attention. From organised expeditions in search of new land to fishing, the sea has contributed to the economic, social and cultural development of many nations. Despite extensive developments made in the road and air transportation systems to facilitate trade, the sea still plays an active part in international trade. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), 80% of goods traded worldwide are carried by sea and as per the UNCTAD Review of Maritime Transport 2020, the volume of seaborne trade for 2019 reached 11.08 billion tons. Currently, many countries and regional blocs are converging towards this concept of maritime security in order to restore peace and stability at sea. In Africa, for instance, maritime security is expressly defined in Africa’s Integrated Maritime Strategy 2050 (2050 AIM Strategy). This article is devoted to examine the status questionis of the treaties and legislation application.
A Representative of the People
Authors: Kibira Lizzy Muthoni
Published: December 2022

This article is dedicated to analyze Dominic Burbidge’s An experiment in devolution. Published by Strathmore University Press in 2019, the 319-page volume is a welcome addition to the growing scholarship on devolution in Kenya. This text, indeed, brings with it a much needed ‘empirical grit’ to a discourse previously saturated with historically and theoretically derived conjecture. The hallmark of the book is, therefore, this attention to the material, the meticulousness with which it relays empirical findings and finally, how the author manages to successfully marry empirical data and theory; resulting in an interesting telling of the story of devolution. Thus, Burbidge sets out to test the performance of devolution in the counties where it was most predicted to fail: the former Central Province. He investigates how devolution has actually played out in this region; taking into consideration the historically complicated relationship between Mount Kenya and Nairobi and the enduring scepticism as to the compatibility of devolution and the interests of Central Kenya.
The Two-thirds Gender Rule ‘Mirage’: Unlocking the Stalemate
Authors: Ongoya Elisha
Published: December 2022

Today we talk about the principle of gender inclusivity in Kenya’s governance framework.1 I thank the administration of the Mombasa Law Campus of the University of Nairobi for giving me an opportunity to address its academic community on the subject. I thank the Mombasa Law Society, the oldest law society in this country, for partnering with the University of Nairobi, Mombasa Campus, on this worthy course. Partnerships between industry and the academy are always a worthy venture. The choice of topic today is both germane and misleading. The journey towards a more inclusive society in Kenya has been a rather long one. On 9 March 2018, the key protagonists in Kenya’s political space, President Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga recognised inclusivity as one of the nine-point agenda towards building bridges in Kenya. The aspect of inclusivity called gender inclusivity has also had a longwinded history. There is no possibility of me capturing the story of this journey fully and justly in today’s presentation alone. I will, therefore, focus on a very small aspect of this journey, that is, the cases that I have had the privilege of history to walk through as an advocate.
COVID-19 Pandemic: Awakening the Call for Paradigm Shifting in the Teaching, Learning, Research and Professional Development
Authors: Gutto Shadrack B.O
Published: December 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has awoken the entire world from its slumber – the highly-industrialised and the less-industrialised, those regarded to be developed and the less developed or underdeveloped in sciences and technologies, the rich/wealthy and the poor-but-rich-in-resources alike. It has shown that it has no respect for the few who belong to the ruling class and political elites – the virus’ attack on the heir-to-the-throne in Britain, Prince Charles, and the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, are good examples. International conferences and summits of heads of state and governments are being conducted virtually. Educators and students from primary school to university and college levels are forced to re-skill to teach and learn online and not mainly through contact learning as was the established norm. Contextually, limited electrification hinders access to the internet and digitisation. The emerging norm is no longer going to be the traditional separation of the sciences, technology, engineering and medicine (STEM) from humanities and social sciences. The interface and interrelatedness of disciplines is a requirement in managing and manoeuvring human life through this pandemic, and beyond. There should be more use of multi-discipline and inter-discipline perspectives and approaches of knowledge development and application. This is not a call for the death of mono-disciplines. They remain essential fields of specialisation within broader contexts.
Land Reform in Kenya: The History of an Idea
Authors: Manji Ambreena
Published: December 2022

The great legal scholar Patrick McAuslan described the 1990s as inaugurating a new era of land law reform. Land law reform has taken place on a significant scale since 1990: a total of 32 new national land laws have been enacted since 1990 in nearly 60 per cent of African states. Land issues have been the cause of both simmering discontent and violent conflict throughout Kenya’s colonial and post-colonial history. They remain a ‘key fault line’ in modern Kenya. Historians of Kenya and commentators on its politics continue to find patrimonialism, ethnic favouritism and corruption at play, nowhere more so than in the politics of land. Kenya’s problems with land defy easy description: they remain complex and multi-faceted and include massive and worsening inequalities in access to land, a propensity to land grabbing and continuing conflicts over who is and who is not entitled to occupy land. Efforts to address these problems have since before independence been erratic at best.
Burying the Kasuku Syndrome: Constructing Inventive Sites of Knowledge
Authors: Gĩthae Mũgo Mĩcere
Published: December 2022

Having come here to advocate the immediate burial of ‘kasuku culture,’ alias, ‘parrot culture,’ I had better initiate the process of grave-digging myself. As an African academician, poet, playwright, artist, cultural worker and activist, I have sought to do this in different ways. One such way has been using my intellectual work to affirm progressive indigenous African paradigms, including orature, which Pio Zirimu and Austin Bukenya once concisely defined as ‘verbal art.’1 I will, therefore, use an African Orature style of delivery to hold this conversation with you. I cannot think of a more appropriate tool of competing with fatigue at the end of a long day, or of keeping a possible dozing audience alive, following such a challenging dinner. My talk, or palaver, will be divided into movements or cycles, labelled palaver one to ten. Inside each of these full stream palavers will be meandering tributaries of smaller, but related palavers. If the meanderings interfere with your focus, therefore, just find ways of tolerating them. For instance, treat them as the musings of an elder-in-the-making, borrowing a leaf from the wazee wakumbuka (elders recollect), an extremely popular kipindi (program) that used to air on Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) radio network sometime in the 1970s.

Published: December 2022

This study aimed to assess the views and leadership competencies of incoming medical students and determine whether leadership traits predicted patient-centeredness in these students. Incoming medical students at one institution from 2017-2020 (N=428) completed a Leadership Needs Assessment assessing self-reported ability and the importance of competency in teamwork, selfless service, integrity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. Participants in the entering class of 2020 (n=92) also completed the Johns Hopkins University Patient-Centeredness Assessment to evaluate patient-centered attitudes. This cohort repeated both surveys at the completion of the first year to assess for changes in the perceived importance of leadership qualities, self-reported competencies, and patient-centeredness. Participants self-reported the highest competency (mean, SD) in integrity (7.92, 1.19) and the lowest in critical thinking (6.59, 1.12). Leadership Development Opportunity (difference between leadership expectation and self-reported ability) was largest in teamwork (2.31, 1.11) and smallest in integrity (0.97, 1.18). Post-first-year assessments were compared in the 2020 cohort, and statistically significant increases (mean, p-value) were found in critical thinking (0.31, p<0.01), emotional intelligence (0.18, p<0.03), and patient-centeredness (0.92, p<0.05). Patient-centeredness was positively predicted by integrity and negatively predicted by critical thinking. Incoming medical students highly value leadership and enter medical school with a robust self-reported ability level. Our data suggest that integrity may increase patient-centeredness and that incoming medical students perceive teamwork as the greatest area for leadership competency development. Further research is needed to determine the best curricula to develop leadership competencies and increase patient-centeredness.

Published: December 2022

Background: Vitamin D is considered a potent modulator of the immune system, albeit its role in COVID-19 infection is a matter of debate. The present study aimed to estimate the association between serum vitamin D levels and COVID-19 among people in Qatar.

Methods: This case-control study, approved by the Institutional Review Board of Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) Qatar, retrospectively evaluated the principal public healthcare sector population data repository retrieved from the cloud-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) software-Cerner, during April 2020–2021. The health records of all adult patients aged >18 years who had undergone the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test and whose medical records had documented serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH)D] levels were analyzed.

Results: A total of 924,173 EHRs were extracted, of which 62,451 EHR comprised of 16,446 (26.3%) COVID-19 patients and 46,005 (73.7%) negative-control group patients met the inclusion criteria. The odds ratio (OR) among different categories of vitamin D deficiency (VDD) revealed that people with mild/moderate VDD were 1.18 times (95% CI 1.126–1.258) and those with severe VDD were 1.90 times (95% CI 1.116–1.251) more likely to have COVID-19 infection when compared to the people with optimal serum vitamin D level. On applying multiple logistic regression, the odds of having COVID-19 infection were found to be 1.27 times (95% CI 1.184–1.371) higher among those with mild/moderate VDD and 1.32 times (95% CI 1.206–1.405) higher among those with severe VDD when compared to people with optimal vitamin D level (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated a significant association between the suboptimal serum vitamin D level and COVID-19 infection. Further studies are required to determine the effects of VDD on the severity and outcomes of COVID-19 infections.
MILITARY APPLICATIONS OF COGNITIVE SCIENCES: COGNITIVE WARFARE, A MATTER OF PERCEPTION AND MISPERCEPTION
Authors: CHIRIAC Olga
Published: December 2022

he concept of cognitive warfare is steadily gaining more and more attention in security and defense discourse. By employing a cognitive psychology perspective, the article is examining how perception and/or misperception factor into cognitive mapping of strategic and operational concepts. The central aim of the paper is to outline that the approach to the human domain is deeply rooted in nationally conditioned perception. The article is looking to achieve this academic goal by comparing the NATO conceptualization of cognitive warfare to the Russian Federations'. The structure is as follows: first there is a brief review of the cognitive psychology paradigm, especially key concepts as they relate to the scope of the paper. The subsequent sections compare the NATO cognitive warfare approach to the opposing view, namely the one of the Russian security and defense apparatus. The "special military operation" in Ukraine initiated by the Kremlin in 2022 confirmed that in the event of a territorial aggression against a NATO member state, the alliance as a whole remains the basis of European security and defense posture. It is for this very reason that the alliance ought to objectively analyze how Russian decision makers perceive Western perspective in the cognitive realm.

This study mainly focuses on the available protections for the victims of human trafficking provided by the Prevention and Suppression of Human Trafficking Act, 2012 of Bangladesh. Because, human trafficking victims in most of the cases remain with vulnerable condition and in highly need of urgent protection for their survival. Bangladesh, as a member of international community has taken initiative by legislating anti-human trafficking Act 2012 for combating this heinous offence. The researcher further critically analyses the loopholes in the provisions of the Act related with protection of victims, in line with international standard and concerned literature. Furthermore, the paper explores several findings and suggests possible way out for boosting the existing anti-human trafficking Act of the country. The aim of this paper is to enhance the protection mechanisms for the victims through analyzing and examining the available protection provided by the above Act. It further aims to address the learners, researchers and policy makers to pay more attention in this issue to protect the misfortune section of the citizen of Bangladesh. The possible outcome of this paper is that it comes across several gaps inside the Act which are requiring to be reconsidered and amended the law. This is purely a doctrinal research and entails qualitative phenomena. Hence, researcher consults with the specific law mentioned above along with relevant international laws on human trafficking and their protections. In addition, researcher examines the scholarly works, articles, reports on human trafficking in Bangladesh to achieve the objectives of this paper.

Wellness tourism has now become a trend in the world community, especially after the Covid 19 pandemic. The main goal of wellness tourism is to achieve fitness and health and gain self-satisfaction. Wellness tourism has the potential to be developed in Indonesia, especially for the senior tourist segment. This research was conducted with a qualitative descriptive approach using primary and secondary data. Based on the research results, it can be seen that (1) the readiness of tourism Human Resources (HR) in managing the wellness tourism in the market share of senior tourists is currently not fully ready and the number is fulfilled. Based on survey results at 2 wellnes tourism, the HR used is not HR in the tourism sector. The role of education in improving HR capabilities in the development of wellness tourism as well as knowledge related to senior market share is urgently needed. Services and needs for senior tourists are different from tourists in general. Tourism education is one of the keys in developing tourism potential, especially in the field of wellness tourism business.; (2) Development of Wellness Tourism in Indonesia continues to be encouraged by the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, to revive the tourism sector and the creative economy in the country; socialization is needed to stakeholders and the general public regarding this matter in order to get the necessary understanding and support (3) The government needs to make references regarding the definition of senior tourists, from the aspects of their age, physical ability, character and special needs in managing the wellness business.
ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF TOURISM IN POVERTY REDUCTION IN WEST JAVA
Authors: Nugrah Siti Yulia Irania , Sukmadi Sukmadi , Daniati Hanna , Resmi Irma Citra , Suparman Maksum
Published: December 2022

Poverty reduction is not usually at the heart of the tourism agenda. Yet tourism is significant in many poor countries and is already affecting the livelihoods of millions of poor people, positively and negatively. Poverty reduction requires pro-poor growth. Concerted effort is needed to maximize the contribution of tourism to this. Pro-poor tourism (PPT) interventions aim to increase the net benefits for the poor from tourism, and ensure that tourism growth contributes to poverty reduction. PPT is not a specific product or sector of tourism, but an approach. PPT strategies aim to unlock opportunities for the poor whether for economic gain, other livelihood benefits, or participation in decision-making. Pro-poor tourism overlaps with, but is different from, the ‘sustainable tourism agenda. Pro-poor focuses more on countries of the South, not on mainstream destinations in the North. Poverty is the core focus, rather than one element of (mainly environmental) sustainability.

Facing Up to the Problem of Affect
Authors: Barrett Nathaniel F.
Published: December 2022

When examined closely, our experience of affect presents a special challenge: it seems that there is no common quality that marks the pleasantness of conscious states and feelings. The implications of this finding have been debated by philosophers and psychologists for more than a century,
and yet the peculiar phenomenology of affect is rarely discussed within consciousness studies. The purpose of this article is to call attention to the problem of affect and to examine the most likely reasons for its neglect. These include the assumption that affect is a special quality, the
externalist view of affect as an intentional attitude and, perhaps most importantly, the assumption that pleasures and pains can be circumscribed as a special class of feelings. If none of these reasons hold up to scrutiny, facing up to the problem of affect may require that we revise our
concept of consciousness.
Human Intelligence and Exceptionalism Revisited by a Philosopher: 100 Years After 'Intelligence and its Measurement'
Authors: Hoffmann Christian Hugo
Published: December 2022

100 years ago, the editors of the Journal of Educational Psychology conducted one of the most famous studies of experts' conceptions of human intelligence. Reason enough to prompt the question where we stand today with conceptualizing 'intelligence'. In this paper, I provide
a synopsis of the latest research on human intelligence(s). I embrace the notion of intelligence as a non-unitary faculty with pluralistic forms. Even though I do not provide a definition of 'intelligence' of my own, I provide good reasons for this reluctance. Nonetheless, I specify the term
as complex, gradual, embedded, multidirectional, and dynamic. Furthermore, I argue for the special status of musical, not linguistic, intelligence.
Qualities in the World, in Science, and in Consciousness
Authors: Loorits Kristjan
Published: December 2022

It has been argued, most famously by David Chalmers, that all objects of the so-called traditional sciences (from physics to neuroscience) are analysable in structural terms, whereas consciousness has qualitative properties that are irreducibly non-structural. From that it has been
concluded that consciousness cannot be explained by traditional sciences. Some illusionists have responded by proposing that the apparently non-structural features of consciousness are in fact fully structural and merely seem to be non-structural. I argue that such a position is tenable, but
only if the non-structural 'seemings' are interpreted as perspectival phenomena and not as theorists' fictions or absolute nothingness. The resulting view allows us to ignore sensory qualities in the context of natural sciences while acknowledging their importance in the moral and philosophical
domains. The proposed perspectivist interpretation also provides an account of how sensory qualities can be observed and talked about despite having no autonomous causal powers.
Synaesthesia and Encapsulation

Published: December 2022

The concept of informational encapsulation has been important in promoting a view of the mind that has dominated cognitive science. Multisensory phenomena, such as synaesthesia, have been used as evidence for challenging this view. The main objective of this paper is to provide a more detailed understanding of the nature of such a challenge by examining the two types of grapheme–colour synaesthesia, projectors and associators. It is argued that the phenomena under consideration exemplify partial encapsulation failure and that it is expressed in three forms: intramodal, intermodal, and top-down. Additional support for these claims is provided by considering some evidence on synaesthetic-like experiences in relation to the continuity thesis.
On Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Adversarial Collaboration: A Conversation with Christof Koch, PhD
Authors: Gruber David R.
Published: December 2022

The following interview explores neuroscientist Christof Koch's participation in the adversarial collaboration, testing the integrated information theory (IIT) of consciousness against the global neuronal workspace theory (GNW). The interview offers a current update on the adversarial
project and then pivots to Koch's responses to three standing critiques of IIT, which include the inexactness of IIT's measures of the neural correlates of consciousness, the charge that IIT implies an unwieldy panpsychism, and the claim that IIT conflates its measures with consciousness.

Authors: Ángulo Adriana , Melean Jorge
Published: December 2022

La presente investigación pretende abordar suficientemente el Bloque Normativo de la Potestad Administrativa Estatal de Fiscalización Tributaria de la Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL), a través de una investigación documental, a los puros fines, de describir esclarecidamente, la dinámica de ese procedimiento administrativo en el Sector Económico Fuertemente Regulado de las Telecomunicaciones. Y, aunque las autoridades reguladoras quedan enmarcadas por la Ley del Sector Económico referido, la LOAP y la LOPA (en ese orden), la Ley del Sector, no regula latamente el procedimiento. Al contrario, ésta Ley remite palpablemente al Código Orgánico Tributario. Quedando CONATEL, el Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología y otras autoridades técnicas, como los competentes en la cobranza y administración de los Tributos Especiales tipificados en la LOTEL. No obstante, la LOTEL regula los aspectos sustantivos propios de la obligación tributaria de cada tributo. De tal manera, que instituye los condicionamientos previos, o adjetivos, de la Fiscalización Tributaria referida; pudiéndose concluir, que la regulación existe, pero, es indirecta, a través de las normas de la obligación tributaria.
El proceso civil venezolano y los derechos fundamentales en relación a las medidas de protección y garantías procesales
Authors: Sifuentes Adalgisa
Published: December 2022

El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad analizar el proceso civil venezolano y los derechos fundamentales en relación a las medidas de protección y garantías procesales. El proceso civil en el ordenamiento Jurídico Venezolano ha sido el objetivo fundamental para el desarrollo de esta investigación. En este sentido, se han observado dos criterios que definen las medidas de protección y garantías procesales; una, ha destacado que la misma se confina a lo establecido en el artículo 26 de la Constitución de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela; y otro criterio establecido en el artículos 49 descritos en las garantías constitucionales accesorias del debido proceso. Se reflexiona que, el derecho civil venezolano, es un extenso derecho establecido no solo en uno de los anteriores criterios, sino que ambos razonamientos al fusionarlos con el articulo 19 eiusdem, conforman una amplia concepción sobre la Tutela Judicial Efectiva al establecer el goce y ejercicio como garantía irrenunciable, indivisible e interdependiente de los derechos humanos, pues en esencia la Tutela Judicial realmente efectiva no es más que el cumplimiento y respeto cabal de los Derechos fundamentales en general, según sea el caso planteado.
Derechos Humanos en el Proceso Penal Venezolano
Authors: Rivas María
Published: December 2022

El presente trabajo tiene por norte, analizar las incidencias de algunos (debido a su amplitud) derechos humanos como garantía constitucional de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela en el proceso penal. El interés de la presente exploración reside en examinar tanto el marco jurídico existente en la materia, como las orientaciones doctrinales y jurisprudenciales que le sustentan y explican a fin de verificar el alcance, vigencia y eficacia de las garantías jurisdiccionales y del debido proceso como pilar fundamental del Estado de Derecho. El debido proceso es un principio jurídico procesal, según el cual toda persona tiene derecho a determinadas garantías mínimas, destinadas a asegurar un resultado justo y equitativo dentro del proceso, y a permitirle tener oportunidad de ser oído y a hacer valer sus pretensiones ante al juez. Este significativo principio y derecho tiene su fundamento en el artículo cuarenta y nueve (49), de la Constitución Venezolana, que refiere: “El debido proceso se aplicará a todas las actuaciones judiciales y administrativas.”
Traspasando las Barreras: Haz de los Hechos tus Derechos. the Adopción, una Realidad sin Miedo
Authors: Dávila Yornelary
Published: December 2022

La presente investigación pretende explicar un tema del Derecho Civil Familiar como la Adopción con finalidad de describir su marco constitucional y legal respectivo. Fue utilizada una metodología puramente descriptiva, que permita al Lector entender fácilmente la esencia de la Adopción como institución social de integración del individuo en un Grupo Familiar cónsono con su situación. El Texto Constitucional de 1999 crea un marco referencial de protección de los intereses superiores del niño y del adolescente por encima del derecho subjetivo del Adoptante. La Adopción ya no es sólo una institución, o de un derecho subjetivo privado activo del Adoptante, sino un derecho subjetivo pasivo del Adoptado. De donde es necesario, conciliar a ambos derechos legítimos, con una mayor prioridad con el segundo, a través del velo protector del Estado con instituciones administrativas especializadas.
Constitucionalismo y Constitución Económica: Reflexiones de lo Laboral
Authors: Camargo Tanya
Published: December 2022

El siguiente artículo científico pretende exponer meridianamente el bagaje teórico envuelto en el Texto Constitucional Ecuatoriano, frente al Bien Común como Fin Estatal de tipo Constitucional y la Constitución Laboral. Para tales fines, fue utilizada una interpretación jurídico-constitucional robustecida de normas constitucionales preliminares, de donde tales normas, son más cardinales que otras, bajo la Tesis del Alemán: O. Bachoff de las Endonormas Constitucionales, y, que sirven de parámetro para lograr un verdadero sentido de la Constitución Laboral Ecuatoriana, bajo un criterio de unidad jurídico, y, en especial, frente a la Constitución Económico-Financiera. Que, de acuerdo a la Constitución Financiera Ecuatoriana, constituyen un presupuesto de validez del accionar estatal en materia económico-laboral, pues la referida Constitución Laboral, no puede forjar Políticas, que creen déficits presupuestarios, aunque generen satisfacción del Bien Común en términos de provisionalidad, y nunca, de permanencia, que es, el fin de la Constitución del 20 de Octubre de 2008, desde su normatividad, frente a la sociedad política Ecuatoriana.
La Laboralización Progresiva de la Carrera Administrativa en Venezuel
Authors: Torres María
Published: December 2022

El régimen de la función pública siempre ha estado regido por sus propias normas, las cuales son distintas a las del Derecho Laboral. Tiene su propio estatuto donde se establecen tareas públicas, asignadas a funcionarios quienes tienen el deber de cumplirlas, diferenciándose de esta forma de la relación contractual que priva en el derecho laboral. Sin embargo, la función pública se ha ido laboralizando con el paso del tiempo. En muchos casos, esa laboralización surge de cambios legislativos, y en otros ha sido producto de “tergiversaciones” que en materia laboral son razonadas históricamente como canales “normales” para el logro de avances y reivindicaciones sociales. En el presente artículo se propone la realización de un análisis del proceso de laboralización de la función pública tocando aspectos como el ingreso, estabilidad y el derecho colectivo en la función pública.
Admisión de los hechos, rebaja de pena y castigo en el homicidio
Authors: Ferreira Francisco
Published: December 2022

Con este trabajo se pretende abordar la problemática que plantea la aplicación del procedimiento especial por admisión de los hechos con relación al juzgamiento del delito de homicidio intencional, la cual trasciende la dicotomía existente entre la prevención eficaz de este delito y la rebaja de pena aplicable al imputado que admite los hechos. De este modo, el rechazo que recibe la rebaja de pena que se concretaría por virtud de la admisión, con respecto a la sanción que merece un delito tan grave como el homicidio intencional, coloca en un segundo plano un aspecto que caracteriza al procedimiento especial, a saber, el de la renuncia a las garantías del juicio oral

De los Sujetos Actuantes en el Contencioso Administrativo. Especial referencia a la Ley Orgánica de la Jurisdicción Contencioso Administrativa
Authors: Silva José
Published: December 2022

La actuación de sujetos en el proceso civil y en el contencioso administrativo, difieren, no desde su concepción dogmática, sino en el tratamiento legislativo y sus orígenes, así como la concepción de partes, sus limitaciones, facultades y efectos procesales, difieren uno del otro. En razón de ellos, no se puede pretender aplicar directamente la doctrina procesal en el contencioso administrativo, sin atender sus particularidades.
