The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of adding agro-industrial by-products (soybean hulls and cornprocessing residue) and bacterial inoculant to Tifton 85 forage at ensiling on nutritional quality and bacterial colonization of resulting silages. The design was completely randomized in a 3 × 2 factorial scheme, with 6 treatments and 4 replicates. Treatments were: Tifton 85 forage; Tifton 85 + soybean hulls; Tifton 85 + corn-processing residue; Tifton 85 + bacterial inoculant; Tifton 85 + soybean hulls + inoculant; and Tifton 85 + corn-processing residue + inoculant. Inclusion of by-products increased dry matter and organic matter percentages of silages, while addition of soybean hulls improved crude protein concentration in silage. Total digestible nutrients in silages containing by-products were higher than in straight Tifton 85 silage. In addition, addition of by-products increased in vitro dry matter and organic matter digestibilities of resulting silages. Most treatments showed aerobic stability up to 144 hours after exposure to air, except for Tifton 85 + corn-processing residue without inoculant, which became unstable by 120 hours of exposure. Addition of by-products at ensiling of Tifton 85 forage appears beneficial but there seems little benefit in adding bacterial inoculant. More studies on a larger scale are needed to confirm these preliminary results, while feeding studies would determine any improvement in animal performance when fed silage containing by-products.

Published: September 2022

Cattle farming in West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia (NTB) is essential to support the high demand for beef cattle in Indonesia. Leucaena was introduced to smallholders as a high-quality feed to increase cattle production in NTB. A survey was conducted with both leucaena-using and non-leucaena-using smallholder cattle farmers in Sumbawa and West Sumbawa districts, NTB to understand the role of leucaena in NTB smallholder cattle enterprises (mixed breeding/fattening) and the effect of leucaena toxicity on cattle performance, especially cow-calf production. We found that farmers using leucaena feeding systems were able to keep more cattle than farmers using a traditional feeding system (9.1 vs 6.1 head/household). Many leucaena-using farmers (50.1 %) use leucaena for fattening cattle only. Other cattle classes (growers, breeding cows and bulls) were fed leucaena strategically, such as during the dry season (59 % of leucaena-using farmers) and at specific stages of pregnancy and lactation (41 % of leucaena-using farmers). Leucaenausing farmers in rainfed areas planted more leucaena (4,500 vs 1,984 trees) and fattened more bulls (5.8 vs 3.5 head/ household) than farmers in high-rainfall areas. Transmigrant Balinese farmers planted significantly more leucaena trees (7,500 vs 2,354 trees) and raised more fattening bulls (7.8 vs 3.7 head/household) than the local Sumbawanese farmers. Most Balinese farmers had been practising leucaena feeding systems since they migrated to Sumbawa, for a long as 3 decades. Most leucaena-using farmers (74 %) had observed symptoms of illness associated with leucaena toxicity in their cattle such as hair loss and salivation. Few farmers feeding leucaena to breeding cows (5 %) reported instances of reproductive failure. Almost all non-leucaena-using farmers (93 %) reported symptoms of illnesses associated with plant toxicities (among other potential causes), most commonly skin lesions, diarrhoea, cataract, and listlessness. It was concluded that the priority use of leucaena in Sumbawa was for fattening cattle rather than breeding cattle. Leucaena supports smallholder farmers in Sumbawa to have more intensive, productive and income-earning cattle enterprises, but questions remain over whether it should be used for feeding breeding cows.
FIGHTING FOOD INSECURITY, HUNGER, AND POVERTY: THE CONTENT AND CONTEXT OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC RIGHT OF ACCESS TO SUFFICIENT FOOD IN SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: Duduzile G Mbajiorgu  , Kola O Odeku
Published: September 2022

Poverty, lack of access to food, low income, hunger, unemployment and malnutrition are all interrelated because they undermine fundamental human rights and are a blatant affront to human dignity and section 27 of the South African Constitution. These factors have a direct impact on the realisation of the right to have access to sufficient food and poverty alleviation. Against this backdrop, this article examines major causes of food insecurity in South African rural households. Using an in-depth analysis of literature, previous studies, government reports, and policies aimed at poverty alleviation, this article examines some of the various poverty-alleviation strategies that the government has adopted in promoting rural food security. In this instance, the importance of social grants and land-based livelihood strategies – specifically subsistence farming – are analysed to determine the extent to which these strategies promote household food security and combat poverty and hunger in rural households.

SOCIAL INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR SADC MIGRANT WORKERS IN SOUTH AFRICA: A REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL FRAMEWORK COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS
Authors: Bongani Khumalo
Published: September 2022

South Africa is a migrant destination country, attracting migrant workers from SADC countries and other regions. SADC migrant workers are vulnerable to many social security risks and need deliberate social security protection through legislation and practice. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 enshrines the right to social security and extends it to “everyone”. This article singles out social insurance as one of the pillars of social security and examines the legislation enabling this right. It also discusses supra-national instruments that promote access to this right and evaluates compliance with relevant legislation and implementation. It posits that South Africa needs to adopt relevant and key international instruments, and to comply with the current ones. This is aimed at achieving universal access to social insurance benefits for those who are entitled, thereby progressively realising this right as envisaged in the Constitution.

Published: September 2022

Background: Although asthma is a common disease accurate diagnosis is missing and it has been reported that often it is over or under-diagnosed. Aim: To investigate if a physician’s diagnosis of asthma in Cyprus is correct by using a structured algorithm at the outpatient primary care level. Subjects and Methods: Sixty adults with a self-reported physician diagnosis of asthma, mean age of 47,8 years (29 males and 31 females) were included in the study. Medical history and physical examination, pre-post bronchodilation spirometry and methacholine bronchial challenge test was used to confirm or rule out the diagnosis as well as a three months follow-up. In addition, the cost of treatment was estimated. Results: Sixteen subjects (27%) had a positive pre-post bronchodilation spirometric test and were considered asthmatics. In 9 out of the 44 remaining subjects a positive Methacholine provocation test confirmed the diagnosis of asthma. The rest of the subjects (n = 35) went into a 3 months observational period during which only 2 showed asthmatic symptoms and were considered asthmatics by a second methacholine test that confirmed the diagnosis. Therefore, a correct asthma diagnosis was established in only 27(45%) of subjects. The annual average cost of medication for asthma confirmed the group was 313 euro/patient (171-454, 95% CI) and the average 2-year unnecessary (asthma ruled-out group) cost of treatment was approximately 297 euro/patient. (179-415, 95% CI). Conclusions: Physician-diagnosed asthma overestimates the actual prevalence of disease in adults in Cyprus since it was shown that more than half of the participants did not have Asthma. These individuals consume unneeded medications at a significant cost. Thus, the correct diagnosis of Asthma should be made by using more specific tests starting at the primary care level.
METATAC V.1 v2
Authors: Wu Honggui
Published: September 2022

Abstract Here we describe a protocol for multiplexed end-tagging amplification of transposase accessible chromatin (METATAC), a high-sensitivity single-cell ATAC-seq technique with the help of META chemistry and extensive biochemical modifications. We improved the protocol from three aspects, first, we used Omni-ATAC protocol to permeabilize cells, which greatly reduced mitochondrial reads to less than 0.5%. Second, we used sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to release Tn5 from bound DNA, which enabled maximum DNA recovery. Third, we use META transposome instead Nextera transposome used in other protocols, which avoids half loss due to self-looping during amplification, thus further increasing library size. Specifically, META sequences also serve as a barcode to fragment decontamination, which provides high-sensitivity and precise single-cell chromatin accessibility analysis.

Authors: ÇULHA ÜNAL Sevil
Published: September 2022

The fifth-order Korteweg-de Vries (fKdV) equation is a nonlinear model in various long wave physical phenomena. The residual power series method (RPSM) is used to gain the approximate solutions of the time fractional fKdV equation in this study. Basic definitions of fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The solutions of the time fractional fKdV equation with easily computable components are calculated as a quick convergent series. When compared to exact solutions, the RPSM provides good accuracy for approximate solutions. The reliability of the proposed method is also illustrated with the aid of table and graphs. Cleary observed from the results that the suggested method is suitable and simple for similar type of the time fractional nonlinear differential equations.

Authors: QADR Hiwa Mohammad
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this research is to observe and understand the processes by which gamma rays are attenuated in passing through absorber, and the effects of shielding geometry. Gamma ray linear attenuation coefficient, mass attenuation coefficient, mean free path, half value layer and buildup factor were evaluated for different absorbers, by using 60Co source with energy value 1.332 MeV. The linear attenuation coefficient of the absorber such as aluminium was (0.1485 cm-1), whereas it was observed (0.4359 cm-1) for iron, and stainless steel was (0.463 cm-1). The obtained results have been compared to the other absorbers. As a result of that, linear attenuation coefficient and the mass attenuation coefficient are higher for stainless steel and better radiation shielding compared with other absorbers. The results of theoretical and experimental for all parameters are a good agreement. Moreover, it is found that the buildup factor increases with thickness of the absorber increasing.

Published: September 2022

Human health and illness are dependent on lipases, which play a key role in maintaining cell integrity, storing fat for energy and serving as signaling molecules. In this study, 4 compounds that carry 6-phenylpyridazin-3(2H)-one main nucleus, which can be effective as lipase inhibitors, were synthesized and their structures were elucidated. The biological activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated via the porcine pancreatic lipase type II (PLL) inhibitor assay. Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor, was used as a positive control. Compound 8d was found to be the most effective compound, with an IC50 value of 32.66±2.8265 (μg/mL). In addition, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations studies were carried out to examine the interactions of the compounds with the target in detail. The results obtained as a result of these in silico studies were found to be compatible with the lipase inhibition effects of the compounds. It was observed that the compounds may have potential lipase inhibitory effects as a result of the substitutions of the 3-(6-oxo-3-phenylpyridazin-1(6H)-yl)propanehydrazide structure.

Authors: ÇINARCI Burcu , ERKOÇ Temha
Published: September 2022

Let G be a finite group and χ∈Irr(G), where Irr(G) denotes the set of all irreducible characters of G. The kernel of χ is defined by ker⁡(χ)={ g∈G ┤| χ(g)=χ(1)}, where χ(1) is the character degree of χ. The irreducible character χ of G is called as monolithic when the factor group G/ker⁡(χ) has only one minimal normal subgroup. In this study, we have proven some results by concentrating on the kernels of nonlinear irreducible characters of G. First, we have provided an alternative proof for the classification of finite groups possessing two nonlinear irreducible characters by using their kernels. Also, we have presented the structure the solvable group G in which every nonlinear monolithic characters has same kernel

Published: September 2022

In this study, we work on the surfaces determined in relation to associated curves. We study normal surfaces defined with the help of adjoint curves, a special type of associated curve. For this, we first remember the basic equations of the 3-dimensional Euclidean space, which is the space we work with, and the adjoint curve issue. Then, by computing the first and second fundamental forms, principal curvatures and Gaussian and mean curvatures of the normal surface of an adjoint curve, we obtain the characterizations of this surface and related some results.

Authors: DOĞAN Akar , KISMET Yılmaz
Published: September 2022

The present study investigates the mechanical and thermal behavior of polyurethane electrostatic powder coating waste reinforced epoxy composites. Different percentages of electrostatic powder coating waste (3, 6, and 9 wt. %) reinforced epoxy composites were manufactured. The mixture of polyurethane powder coating waste and epoxy was mixed with a magnetic stirrer to ensure that the polyurethane powder coating waste was dispersed well in the epoxy, and then the mixture was placed under vacuum and air bubbles were removed. Tensile and three-point tests were performed to determine the changes in the mechanical properties of the materials, and thermogravimetric analysis was conducted to determine the thermal properties. In addition, images were taken with scanning electron microscopy for morphological features. The study revealed that the three-point flexural strength was increased by up to 8% and 15%, respectively, in the samples with 3 wt% and 6 wt% powder coating waste additives. The material's tensile strength decreased by up to 27% with powder coating waste reinforcement. However, the opposite trend was observed in the modulus of elasticity. Additionally, no significant difference was observed in the thermal properties of the materials. Also, from scanning electron microscopy analysis, it was observed that the inclusion of powder coating waste changed the damage mechanism of the material.

Prioritization of Districts in terms of Disaster Preparedness Planning: A Case Study for the Expected Istanbul Earthquake
Authors: AKTAS Ahmet
Published: September 2022

Preparedness is the second among the four phases of disaster management after mitigation. In big cities with a crowded population like İstanbul, development of a single holistic disaster preparedness plan would be too complex. At this point, prioritization of districts is needed because of the existence of limited amount of available resources (time, staff, money, etc.) plan development stage. This decision can be affected by several factors, so this decision can be defined as a multiple criteria decision-making problem. The main aim in this paper is to develop an analytic approach to obtain the priority rank of districts of the city for disaster preparedness plan development. To do so, a hybrid multiple criteria decision-making model based on SWARA (Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) and WASPAS (Weight Aggregated Sum Product Assessment) is proposed. A case study on earthquake preparedness planning in districts of İstanbul is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model. Obtained results of the model would be helpful for policy making in volunteer organizations, municipality, and government level.

Residual Stress Measurement of a Single-step Sintered Planar Anode Supported SC-SOFC Using Fluorescence Spectroscopy
Authors: SAYAN Yunus , KİM Jung-sik , WU Houzheng
Published: September 2022

The fluorescence spectroscopy technique was used to measure the residual stress between the cathode and electrolyte of an anode supported planar single-chamber solid oxide fuel cell. The cell was made of (NiO-CGO) :(CGO) :(LSCF-CGO), as anode:electrolyte:cathode and the test was carried out after sintering at room temperature. The measured stress between these layers arises from the sintering stress caused by differential shrinkage from layers during sintering and the thermal expansion co-efficient mismatch between the layers during cooling. Therefore, the residual stress in the cathode and electrolyte layer of the cell due to co-efficient of thermal expansion mismatch during cooling was calculated analytically so as to find sintering stress. According to findings a maximum compressive residual stress of -1084 MPa occurred at the place contiguous to electrolyte layer. The estimated residual stresses in the cell’s cathode and electrolyte layer owing to CTE mismatch for the duration of cooling was calculated as -324 MPa and 15.96 MPa, respectfully. Furthermore, total mean residual compressive stress between cathode and electrolyte was obtained from fluorescence spectroscopy as -703.795. Thus, the main contribution of this residual stress is the stress growth during sintering (-395.755 MPa) due to different shrinkage behavior of adjacent layers.
Investigation of Antiviral Potential of Food Carotenoids and Apocarotenoids against RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase of Hepatitis C Virus
Authors: FİDAN Özkan
Published: September 2022

Hepatitis C disease have been a global health threat and affects a significant portion of world population. Hepatitis C have also been a silent health threat for Turkiye, where there are around half million people infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). Disease burden and mortality are expected to increase gradually in the next 20 years in Turkiye. Unavailability of enough data on the currently-available drugs in routine clinical practice, their side effects and interactions with other drugs, and their efficacies on the less common genotypes indicates the necessity of alternative treatment options. Natural products from herbal and medicinal plants can indeed provide an alternative as being drug-like dietary supplements. In particular, the carotenoids and apocarotenoids are underexplored in their antiviral potential, including anti-HCV activities. Therefore, we focused on the virtual screening of various carotenoids and apocarotenoids against the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of HCV. Molecular docking experiments showed strong binding affinities of the ligands to both palm and thumb domains of RdRp of HCV. In fact, some of them such as neoxanthin, crocin, canthaxanthin and cryptoflavin bound quite strongly to both domains compared to native ligands and current antiviral drugs. MD simulation for neoxanthin-RdRp complex confirmed the stability of the ligand within the binding cavity of RdRp throughout 100 ns simulation. This clearly indicated the potential of carotenoids, specifically neoxanthin, as RdRp inhibitor in treating HCV. Thus, this study not only discovered anti-HCV drug candidates with the properties of easy-to-access and low cost, but also paved the way for the development of carotenoid or apocarotenoid based dietary supplement candidates for the prevention and treatment of HCV.
Can Squid Game Series Be Watched Through Social Darwinism? A Semiotic Review
Authors: TUTAR Hasan
Published: September 2022

Social events are reflected as a string of signs in the language of the productions in question by forming the
subjects of cinema and TV productions. The language of expression in television creates a dream world,
and the message is tried to be placed in the audience’s mind in the form of images. This study discusses
whether the South Korean production Squid Game, which has recently reached a significant audience, can
be watched through Social Darwinism. In the research, the exploitation of the efforts and hopes of the
weak by the strong was analyzed within the framework of Social Darwinism. Social Darwinism is adapting
Darwin’s theory of Evolution, which is valid in all species, to the social field. This theory asserts that the
fittest for the environment can survive in competition between individual organisms. Social Darwinism
postulates that competition between individuals, groups, or nations causes the social Evolution of human
societies. The competition, which started as a group in the TV series Squid Game, continues with individual
competition and is represented by the survival of the one who finally overcomes all these challenging
competitive conditions. The semiotic method was used in the research due to its suitability for the subject’s
purpose, context, and basic research question. The sample of the study was determined according to the
purposive sampling technique. The research data consists of scenes and player expressions reflecting the
Social Darwinism perspective of the visual and verbal expressions in the series. Research findings show that
the evolutionary laws among living things continue in social life in the form of Social Darwinism.

Россия и политический порядок в меняющемся мире: ценности, институты, перспективы
Authors: Торкунов Анатолий
Published: September 2022

Статья посвящена рассмотрению наиболее перспективных стратегий развития политической науки и теории международных отношений. В условиях стратегической нестабильности востребованы результативные институты как национального, так и глобального управления, призванные устанавливать и эффективно поддерживать нормы коллективного действия. Неоспоримый приоритет – с точки зрения международного права, репрезентативности, институционального регулирования, политической миссии и функциональной роли – остается, по мнению автора, за ООН. Существенную роль призваны сыграть активно формирующиеся наряду с традиционными международными организациями новые структуры при доминирующем влиянии восходящих держав. Вопреки распространенному мнению, влияние международных институтов не сопряжено со снижением роли национального государства. Автор полагает небезупречной идею о первостепенной угрозе со стороны так называемых избыточно “жестких” государств: в настоящее время назрела своего рода “концептуальная реабилитация” состоятельных в плане эффективности государств с устойчивой центральной властью. В контексте глобальной турбулентности наибольшую опасность представляют не “жесткие”, а именно “хрупкие” – несостоятельные – государства. Рассмотрение в статье регионального измерения современных политических процессов показывает очевидность размывания вектора глобализации в ходе масштабно усиливающейся регионализации в ее разнообразных проявлениях, включая макрорегионализацию и глокализацию. Отдельным вызовом и одновременно новым горизонтом возможностей политической науки, политического управления и международных отношений предстают процессы всеобъемлющей цифровизации, включая использование в политической аналитике больших данных (Big Data), искусственного интеллекта (AI) и иных новейших технологий. Это актуализирует усилия России по формированию цифрового суверенитета. Трудно переоценить и роль исторического сознания: именно исторический опыт формирует систему координат для оценки текущих событий и обоснование прогноза развития. Естественным драйвером этого процесса предстают университеты, которые в сотрудничестве с местными и региональными сообществами формируют векторы социокультурной активности и ответственности.
Конгруэнтность как параметр политической стабильности
Authors: Телин Кирилл
Published: September 2022

Несмотря на значительное число проработанных в современной политической науке концепций “стабильности”, это проблемное поле, критически важное для прикладных исследований современного государственного и политического управления, характеризуется, по мнению автора, дефицитом внимания к усовершенствованным инструментам, связанным с оценкой гражданами конгруэнтности государственного управления их представлениям о необходимом формате функционирования последнего. Ключевой задачей настоящей работы является восполнение данного пробела. Исследование политической стабильности, понимаемой как легитимное состояние политического режима, при котором статусные акторы в рамках имеющихся устойчивых институтов способны инициировать и эффективно реализовывать действия, необходимые для адаптивных изменений, требует внимания не только к формально-нормативной стороне деятельности основных институтов и к параметрам технической (экономической) эффективности, но и к моменту восприятия населением современных ему институтов, механизмов и структур. Под конгруэнтностью в рамках статьи понимается состояние согласованности и взаимной приемлемости институциональных установлений и доминирующих образцов политической культуры. Обсуждаются главные проблемы рассмотрения каждой из двух представленных составляющих (включая дискуссии, посвященные интерпретации как “институтов”, так и “политической культуры”). Подчеркивается, что, несмотря на давно присутствующие в науке концепции, связанные с рассмотрением конгруэнтности и неконгруэнтности, существует лишь небольшое число прикладных техник, применимых к реальным государственным системам. Некоторые из подходов, в теории посвященных изучению общественного доверия и вовлеченности, используются политиками в собственных репутационных и рейтинговых интересах. В заключение приводятся возможные инструменты измерения конгруэнтности – социологический (1), количественный (2) и третий подход, концентрирующийся на исследовании отношения к отдельным институтам, воспринимаемым в качестве ключевых.

Published: September 2022

Control engineering is a highly experimental field, therefore, the more practice activities, the better understanding of the basic concepts. On the other hand, the class resources are never as plentiful as desired, and the experiments require expensive equipments and maintenance. This work proposes a low cost experimental platform designed to be used in control engineering subjects. Although the tight budget has some drawbacks related to device quality, particular solutions are proposed, leading to a working platform with very good performance, that has been used in different applications such as lab practice classes and advanced control strategies projects. The platform performance shows that the use in both practice labs or controller design is possible showing very good results.
Kit érdekel még a társadalmi tények és cselekvések magyarázata? - Néhány ajánlat : A "Kit érdekel még a szociológia?" című konferencia plenáris előadása
Authors: Kovács Éva
Published: September 2022

Szelényi Iván egy 2015-ös magyarul is megjelenő esszéjében a szociológia hármas válságáról értekezett. Nem volt ezzel egyedül: a 2000-es években a szociológia több élő klasszikusa is hasonló problémákat érzékelt és lehetséges kiutakat latolgatott. Az antropológia és a történettudomány berkeiben, vélhetően részben más okok miatt, de hasonló viták indultak saját tudományáguk „válságáról” és az arra adható válaszokról. Mindeközben a digitális fordulat hatásai egyre mélyebbre szivárogtak a társadalomban globális tekintetben is: minden virtuális bokorban találni már néhány elemét a szociológiai gondolkodásnak. Azaz nem hogy csökkent volna a szociológiai érdeklődés, de mintha kiterjedt, popularizálódott volna. És fordítva, épp a digitális kor hozott olyan radikális társadalomszerveződési átalakulásokat, amelyek feltárására, megértésére ismét, mi mást, mint a szociológia eszköztárát kell(ene) bevetnünk. A konferenciaprogram mégis azt mutatja, hogy dacára a tényleg robbanásszerű technikai átalakulásnak és a globális válságnak, a szociológia klasszikus témái, a hatalom, a jövedelem, az életesélyek egyenlőtlenségei, az osztály, a nemzeti-etnikai hovatartozás mintha változatlan erővel reprezentálnák magukat a szociológusi gondolkodásban, még akkor is, ha ezek feltárásába a társdiszciplinák is „besegítenek”. Kit érdekel még a szociológia? – teszi fel a kérdést 2022-es konferenciánk és arra ösztökélte az előadókat, hogy egy, Szelényi vagy Burawoy szerint már több évtizede válságban levő szakmának napjaink nagy társadalmi, politikai és gazdasági válságaihoz fűződő viszonyát vizsgálja meg. Előadásomban – egyes társdiszciplínákat is érintve – a konferenciafelhívás néhány kérdését járom körül úgy, hogy a lehetséges válaszokat egyfajta válságkezelési ajánlatként fogom fel.
El amor en Badiou: ontología del vacío, la no relación sexual y la verdad
Authors: Quintero-Herrera Christian Yamid
Published: September 2022

El objetivo del siguiente artículo de reflexión es ofrecer una lectura del concepto de amor en el pensamiento de Alain Badiou que medie y armonice el trasfondo abstracto y formal de su metaontología con sus conocidas intervenciones sobre este concepto dirigidas al gran público. Se llena con ello un vacío en la literatura que analiza esta región de su pensamiento. El artículo acomete esta tarea en tres momentos: primero se explica la conexión, que se asume que hay, entre la teoría del ser como multiplicidad y la teoría lacaniana de la sexuación a fin de señalar la continuidad y límite entre las mismas. Tras ello, situamos el amor en las coordenadas de la teoría del acontecimiento, el sujeto y la verdad. Finalmente, interpretamos la propuesta de Badiou a la luz de algunos elementos que proceden de la teoría del amor de Platón y de lo que llamamos un comunismo de la diferencia o mínimo.
La Pachamama o la naturaleza como sujeto de derechos. Asimetrías en el constitucionalismo del “buen vivir” de América Latina
Authors: Estupiñan Achury Liliana , Parra Acosta Leonardo , Rosso Gauta Maria Camila
Published: September 2022

Within the framework of constitutions identified as “neoconstitutio-nal”, of the so-called “democratic constitutionalism for Latin America” or the “Andean constitutionalism”, diverse forms of protection for na-ture, Mother Earth or Pachamama as a subject of rights have flouris-hed in juridical systems. Although they’re three different readings with divergent approaches, they all converge in devising ways of protecting the Earth. The adoption of these protections has been made possible through constitutional and democratic assemblies that were tinged with the influence of indigenous movements, despite the violence to which their culture and ethnic diversity has been subjected to throughout the centuries. Analyzing the asymmetries and disparities in the adoption of these new radical forms of protection is of utmost importance, whether they be found in constitutional and legal texts or in sentences built on a hermeneutic that’s capable of reading (without arrogance and through a compassionate, less anthropocentric bias) the struggles and move-ments of the disenfranchised and underprivileged who claim for the protection of La Casa.

The training of professionals in the university context must respond directly to the requirements, dynamics and problems of the organizations, institutions and entities that make up the labor market. Public accounting is a field of knowledge that is in constant tension due to social, economic and regulatory changes, which leads to a permanent review of the skills that are demanded by the productive sector for these professionals. Based on the perceptions of entrepreneurs/employers and graduates of a university in the city of Cúcuta, the objective of this research is to determine the competitive profile required by the labor market and developed by professionals graduated from a Public Accounting program. It corresponds to a study based on the empirical-analytical paradigm and the descriptive-level quantitative approach. The non-experimental longitudinal method and a questionnaire with a Likert scale were used to collect the information. The sample consisted of 123 entrepreneurs/employers and 149 graduates of the Public Accounting program of a university in the city. The results show that the graduates, in general, have a favorable perception of the development / strengthening of intellectual, personal, interpersonal, organizational and business skills. Likewise, that employers / employers give relevant importance to each of the skills analyzed in both periods (2019 and 2021) with the exception of the ability to communicate (speak and write) in a foreign language. It is concluded that the response of the university regarding the training of public accountants is consistent with the demand and requirements of the public and productive sector.

Published: September 2022

The aim of this article is to assess the quality of the educational service perceived by students in undergraduate programmes at the University of Cordoba, Colombia, and its relationship with satisfaction and future intentions. For this purpose, the Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique, belonging to the set of methods of structural equation systems (SEM), was used on the data on the perception of the quality of the educational service, obtained from the application of a questionnaire, using the survey technique, to a representative sample of 481 students of undergraduate programmes at the institution. The results showed that tangible elements, responsiveness, empathy and reliability explain 65.2% of the quality perceived by students. It is noteworthy that security is not a factor explaining perceived quality. Satisfaction is explained 60.2% by quality, while future intentions are explained 33.6% by satisfaction. The model showed acceptable reliability, as Cronbach’s Alpha was between 0.7254 and 0.873, indicating good internal consistency of the instrument used. In view of the above results, the implementation of improvements in these items may contribute to increasing the confidence and loyalty of their students.

Teaching of statistics is a relevant factor in the development of students’ critical thinking. There are several investigations that indicate attitudes towards statistics effect on the abilities of the social, cultural, economic, and political skills development. This research conducted to characterize the attitudes towards statistics and its teaching through a descriptive study in mathematics teachers and students of basic secondary and middle school through applying two processes of attitudes: the first one indicates to statistics and its teaching, and the second refers to its application to 21 teachers, EAEE, and 432 students. The results demonstrate that both students and teachers have positive attitudes towards statistics and its teaching. This research indicated that there was difference, according to gender, because women have better attitudes than men. Therefore, it is concluded that teachers and students recognize the importance of statistics in citizen training, and teachers recognize the need to implement training processes based on the didactics of statistics.
