Pseudobulbar Affect: An Overview
Authors: Goldin Deana Shevit
Published: July 2020

Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is a disorder that develops in the context of a brain injury or underlying neurological dysfunction. It is characterized as an affective disorder of emotional expression. PBA manifests as frequent uncontrollable outbursts of laughing or crying, incongruent with the individual's internal emotional state. It can be challenging for clinicians to differentiate PBA from mood disorders, contributing to its high rate of misdiagnosis. This lack of recognition leads to ineffective and insufficient treatment, impacting patients' quality of life. The current article provides an overview of PBA, including its history, prevalence, pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, clinical implications, and treatment. [

Patient Empowerment in IoT for eHealth
Authors: Benoist Emmanuel , Bignens Serge , Kreutz Alexander
Published: July 2020

The rise of internet of things (IoT) in medicine has generated tons of new data through connected devices. Medicine and research in medicine are interested in using those data for the personalization of patients' treatment. The authors present the system MIDATA where patients can transfer their medical IoT data and store them. They have also the possibility to share those data with research groups. The solution respects patient privacy. Even an administrator of the site cannot access to the data of the patients. The patient can choose which users can decrypt their data. But users will lose their passwords and keys. So, the authors provide a novel solution for the recovery of the keys. This procedure has different levels: the patient has a new phone but remembers the password; the patient has forgotten the password but can use the phone; and the worst case is when the patient forgot the password and lost the phone, where they developed a novel solution for key recovery.
Agricultural and Food Policy
Authors: Obayelu Abiodun Elijah , Ayansina Simeon Olusola
Published: July 2020

Policy plays significant role in defining the food system of any country, and a sustainable food system is necessary for food security. This chapter maps out the causal interactions between food systems, food security and policy, and the challenges in transition to a sustainable food system while respecting the rights of all people to have access to adequate food in Nigeria. Explicit, rigorous, and transparent literature search was undertaken and many articles were assessed and reviewed. Although the results established a mutual relationship between food system and food security, existing literature have widely failed to take interactions between food systems, food security and policy into account. While food production is used as an entry point to improving food system sustainability, the quest for food security are undermining transition towards sustainable food systems. It was found that without right policies in place, it may be difficult to have food systems that are sustainable and ensure food security. This chapter provides a useful contribution to policy, and research on transitions towards sustainable food system. Any policy intervention to address one part of the food systems will impact on other parts and will determine whether a country is food secure or not. Enabling policy environment is therefore essential in ensuring a sustainable food system and for the attainment of food security.
The Price Insurance Demand of Rice Producers in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
Authors: Khai Huynh Viet
Published: July 2020

Using the dichotomous choice contingent valuation method, this chapter helps shed light on the potential for marker-based insurance schemes in Vietnam by empirically exploring the demand for minimum price insurance among rice households. The study showed that the majority of rice farmers accepted the guaranteed price of VND 4,500 per kg, and their accepted insurance fee was about 13% of the guaranteed price and 30% of the break-even price. Farmers growing rice under a monoculture system were less likely to pay for the proposed insurance service, while those with access to any formal credits were more likely to pay for it.

Authors: Arowolo Aisha Olushola , Ibrahim Shakirat Bolatito , Aminu Raheem Olatunji , Samie Abdus , Oyawole Funminiyi Peter
Published: July 2020

This chapter investigates how land-use/land-cover (LULC) changes under different scenarios will affect ecosystem services provisions in Nigeria using multiple data sources. The Markov and dynamics of land system models were integrated to predict future LULC changes while the value transfer methodology was adopted to evaluate the economic value of ecosystem services. The results revealed varying patterns and trends of LULC change under the baseline, forest protection priority, and sustainable economic growth scenarios. Based on the predicted LULC change, the total ecosystem services value in Nigeria will decline under the baseline and forest protection priority scenarios but increase in the sustainable economic growth scenario. The sustainable economic growth scenario showed major positive impacts on the ecosystem service functions of recreation, climate regulation, soil formation, and erosion control. This study concludes that the sustainable economic growth scenario is the best to ensure expected production while safeguarding the environment in Nigeria.
Does Gender Inclusion Really Matter in Sustainable Food Systems?
Authors: Edewor Sarah Edore , Ogbe Agatha Osivweneta
Published: July 2020

Over the past decades, the food systems in developing countries have transformed rapidly. However, the rise in social inequalities has negatively affected, the vulnerable groups as the benefits associated with these transformations are still skewed. This chapter examined the role of gender inclusiveness in promoting sustainable food systems. Employment trends revealed that agricultural employment was higher among males. Five asymmetries (assets, access to agricultural market, access to technology, resilience and risks, and decision making) were identified as limitations to sustainable food systems stemming from the gender differentiated roles. The gender action learning system methodology was adopted using strategies such as empowering men and women through community action learning during catalyst workshops, gender mainstreaming for innovation and institutional change at organizational level, and through advocacy network for policy improvement at the national level. The study concluded that gender inclusion played a crucial role in achieving sustainable food systems.
Impact of Rural-Urban Migration on the Food Consumption Pattern of Farming Households in Ibadan/Ibarapa Agricultural Zone of Oyo State, Nigeria
Authors: Sowunmi Fatai Abiola , Adeduntan Funmi Lydia
Published: July 2020

The study examined the impact of rural-urban migration on the food consumption pattern of farming households. The study revealed that 73.8% of the households had migrants, while 80.2% of the migrants were male. The highest level of education of most of the migrants was secondary school (71.4%). The study showed that the major reason (63.3%) for migration was for job. The average remittance sent per year was ₦108,119.14. The study revealed that household expenditure on carbohydrate food group accounted for 54.4% of the total households' expenditure on food. The average dietary diversity indices for the migrant (0.345) and non-migrant (0.346) households were low. The study revealed that migration (short and long term) positively influenced per capita food expenditure of respondent. Despite the remittance from some of the migrants, the need to develop the rural areas in terms of provision of basic infrastructures by government is imperative in order to reduce rural-urban migration.
Political Identity, Democratic Empowerment, and Political Learning
Authors: Kristensen Niels Noergaard
Published: July 2020

The political commotion of the world is rising anew. Political challenges and political turmoil unfold side by side, and at the fore of many current political struggles stands the notion of “political identity.” Identity is a key asset in citizens' orientations toward political issues, their selection of information, and not least their political participation at large. The character of political challenges and struggles suggests that we need a revitalized and more comprehensive conceptual framework and operationalization of political identity. Political identity plays a role in most political activity, and the authors engage in elaborating the concept. The discussion presents the notion of political learning in order to bridge the complex and vigorous relations between on the one side political orientations and awareness and on the other side current manifestations of democratic political identities.
The Relation Between Moral Attitudes and Political Identity
Authors: Kleiner Tuuli-Marja , Melcher Reinhold
Published: July 2020

This study investigates how moral values structure the left/right identification of citizens. Specifically, this chapter reconnoitres how moral attitudes relate to the political fringes on both sides compared to economic attitudes. Using pooled data drawn from the World Value Survey (WVS) and the European Value Survey (EVS), this chapter calculates point-biseral correlation coefficients for 12 European countries at different points in time (1982-2014). The findings indicate that (1) both cultural and economic aspects determine mass political identification, (2) the significance of cultural aspects seems higher in traditional countries, (3) all influences remain largely stable over time. In addition, (4) this chapter identifies an unexpected pattern: while the economic dimension structures the political realm quite evenly, moral orientations seem to be divided into the ‘moral universalists' on the left pole and the ‘moral conservatives', who consider themselves as either moderate or rightist.
The Repertoire of Unconventional Participation
Authors: Premat Christophe Emmanuel
Published: July 2020

It is common to describe political identity using surveys that address cultural values. The construction of indicators by mixing answers to a set of questions then becomes a relevant method when taking a behavioral approach. Scholars such as Ronald Inglehart or Pippa Norris have been engaged in longitudinal studies using two important series of surveys; World Values Survey and European Social Survey Aggregate data enabled them to perceive strong trends in different societies in the world, which is why they linked the evolution of political identity with the shift of cultural values in western societies towards post-materialistic post-1970s. This finding might explain why citizens cared more about issues such as environmental protection, quality of life, and personal and cultural development instead of simply economic security, growth, and stability of power relations. The present study analyzes the repertoire of unconventional participation of European citizens with the data from European Social Survey.
The Atmospheres of Urban Environments
Authors: Abusaada Hisham
Published: July 2020

This chapter investigates the ambiguity of the word “atmospheres” in the fields of urban studies. It examines the justifications (plausibility) beyond its uses, with the terms that are focusing on the perceptual qualities. The author investigated the uses of the word “atmospheres” from the beginning of the 17th century to the year 2020, a period which he divided into four stages. The investigation covered the work of 27 thinkers in the fields of natural sciences and humanities, including 10 in architecture disciplines, in addition to 28 manuscripts that addressed the relationship between atmospheres in the areas of architecture, particularly urban planning and design and urban landscape architecture between 1998 and 2020. The outcomes were developed through a comprehensive literature review by gaps analysis and a deductive online survey with 58 specialized participants, using SurveyMonkey. This chapter contributes to the rationale that an urban designer can use to study people's changing feelings, emotions, and moods according to the understanding of the terms related to atmospheres.
Affective Atmospheres, Essence of Architecture, and Spirit of Place
Authors: Abusaada Hisham , Elshater Abeer
Published: July 2020

This chapter reviews the implications of using the words “essences” and “spirit” in urban studies and their link with the concept of affective atmospheres in the realms of architecture. Two assumptions are valid when this matter is addressed. The first is that, despite affective atmospheres being considered as the fifth dimension in architecture, they are not their essence or spirit. The second is that these atmospheres impersonate a crucial role in reconstructing different urban environments, which are based on the perceptual dimension. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an informed view bibliographically and conceptually about distinguishing between essence, spirit, and affective atmospheres. The chapter also provides an analysis of the concept of affective atmospheres to verify the hypothesis. The conclusion is latent in the possibility that the expression “affective atmospheres,” instead of “essence” or “spirit,” can be used for referring to people's emotional impressions in urban environments as a fifth dimension.
Potentials of ICT and IoT in the Design of Smart Public Spaces
Authors: Hakky Rafee Ibrahim
Published: July 2020

This study aims to show that information and communication technologies (ICT) and the internet of things (IoT) can be used in order to improve the atmosphere of a space. This chapter is based on the assumption that if ICT and IoT are used to better the physical environment of the space, its atmosphere will also be enhanced. A summary of the design of public open spaces and how current ICT and IoT can help in this regard is presented. This theoretical background was the base for a proposal that uses current technology to allow constant changes to the physical layout of a space to accommodate the changing needs of users and improve the space's atmosphere. The proposal advanced here is intentionally simple in terms of its idea and its execution. It is also possible to be tested at any scale a designer or a researcher would prefer. The different and economically conscious experiments will lead to continuous improvements to the proposal.

Authors: Alao Abiodun , Brink Roelien
Published: July 2020

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (41R) era requires industries to adopt the use of technology and specialised study accomplished with digital knowledge. This has contributed to the high rate of unemployment and job loss of people, especially the youths without digital knowledge. The objective of this study is to understand how ICTs can be used for the sustainable development of youth employability. The youths are among the low-income populations that require access to information on industry requirement for improved employability and the provision of digital skills training will allow them to have the knowledge to use ICTs to access information on the relevant job skills needed in the labour market. The sustainable livelihood theory was used to guide the study. Recommendations for the study will allow the government, ICT policymakers, and stakeholders to use ICTs for the sustainable development of youths and improve employability.

Authors: Ottonicar Selma Leticia Capinzaiki , Cadieux Jean , Mosconi Elaine , Carolina da Silva Rafaela
Published: July 2020

Industry 4.0 contributes to the increase in technological production and the use of environmental resources. Because of that, researchers need to discuss circular economy issues in the context of I4.0. To understand the circular economy, people need to know how to access, evaluate, and use the information (information literacy). The purpose of this chapter is to discuss how information literacy has been studied for the development of the circular economy. The methodology implies a review of the literature on circular economy, information literacy, and Industry 4.0. Subsequently, the document connects the information literacy and BNQ21000 standard (Québec) focusing on sustainability. The review showed that there are only a few documents that analyze the circular economy in the context of Industry 4.0. In addition, the information literacy needs to be studied in the circular economy and Industry 4.0 so that managers, students, and researchers can contribute to that revolution in a critical and sustainable way.
Introducing a Hybrid Model SAE-BP for Regression Analysis of Soil Temperature With Hyperspectral Data
Authors: Ji Miaomiao , Zhang Keke , Wu Qiufeng
Published: July 2020

Soil temperature, as one of the critical meteorological parameters, plays a key role in physical, chemical and biological processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Accurate estimation of dynamic soil temperature is crucial for underground soil ecological research. In this work, a hybrid model SAE-BP is proposed by combining stacked auto-encoders (SAE) and back propagation (BP) algorithm to estimate soil temperature using hyperspectral remote sensing data. Experimental results show that the proposed SAE-BP model achieves a more stable and effective performance than the existing logistic regression (LR), support vector regression (SVR) and BP neural network with an average value of mean square error (MSE) = 1.926, mean absolute error (MAE) = 0.962 and coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.910. In addition, the effect of hidden structures and labeled training data ratios in SAE-BP is further explored. The SAE-BP model demonstrates the potential in high-dimensional and small hyperspectral datasets, representing a significant contribution to soil remote sensing.
Using Fuzzy Logic to Control Combined Cycle Gas Turbine During Ambient Computing Environment
Authors: Elhosseini Mostafa A.
Published: July 2020

The main aim of this article is to analyse and control a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) under normal and perturbation loading using a Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) and an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) through an ambient computing environment. The main characteristics of ambient computing is invisible, embedded, easy to use, and adaptive to name a few. The current article proposes the employment of FLC and to control the operation of CCGT considering the system inputs uncertainty. The target of the FLC is to maintain the system speed, exhaust temperature, and airflow within the desired interval. ANFIS helps to get the optimal control parameter and construct the proper rule base with an appropriate membership function with reasonable accuracy. The simulation results demonstrate the ANFIS controller's superior performance over FLC as well as the traditional controller for normal operating conditions and load perturbation.
Energy Aware Dynamic Mode Decision for Cellular D2D Communications by Using Integrated Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model
Authors: Jayakumar Loganathan , Dumka Ankur , Janakiraman S.
Published: July 2020

Recent developments in mobile network communication increases the usage of the cellular users and their wideband data transfer. Sometimes, network operators may get overloaded because of voice and data transmission between nodes which are under the same coverage area. Cellular device-to-device communication is one of the emerging technologies to overcome current increasing demands for spectrum in cellular networks. It reduces network traffic at centralized terminal stations by enabling direct communication link between source and destination. Mode selection is one of the steps required to fix defined configuration for transmitting data between the pairs of nodes. In this article, the mode selection problem has been considered as multi-objective decision-making problem and applied classical multi-criteria decision models such as analytic hierarchy process and technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution models. From simulated results, combination of these two has been proven as the most promising combination for mode selection problem in cellular device-to-device communications under three different types of data services such as text, audio, and video. A dynamically mode selection process has to be carried out with multiple factors which are affecting the performance of the system using proposed model.

Published: July 2020

Rapid growth in mobile networks and the increase of the number of cellular base stations requires more energy sources, but the traditional sources of energy cause pollution and environmental problems. Therefore, modern facilities tend to use renewable energy sources instead of traditional sources. One renewable source is the photovoltaic panel, which made from semiconductor materials which absorb sunlight to generate electricity. This article discusses the importance of using solar panels to produce energy for mobile stations and also a solution to some environmental problems such as pollution. This article provides a design for a solar-power plant to feed the mobile station. Also, in this article is a prediction of all loads, the power consumed, the number of solar panels used, and solar batteries can be used to store electrical energy. Finally, an estimation of the costs of all components will be presented. Good discussion and conclusion will be presented about the results obtained. The results obtained are promising. In addition, a future plan is described to complete this important study.
Integrated Approaches for Peri-Urban Wastescapes
Authors: Garzilli Francesca , Mazzarella Chiara , Vittiglio Valentina
Published: July 2020

This article analyses the effectiveness of circular economy principles applied to the peri-urban territories of Naples, carrying out three integrated “eco-innovative strategies” developed within the H2020 REPAiR project (REsource Management in Peri-urban AReas). The main purpose of the research is to combine the rationalization of waste flows and land recovery. Waste, from scattered materials, turns into new resources for the peri-urban areas. The authors intend to describe how it is possible to create a synergy between urban crisis and technological tools working to improve the metabolism of the peri-urban context. Through the agency of mappings, as holders of knowledge and tools, strategies and scenarios are proposed. Such a process allows the research to create a synergy between two disciplines, one belonging to metabolic rationalization of flows and the other related to urban planning and regeneration of ecologically compromised territories. Thus, the peri-urban space, re-using its waste materials, is re-read and re-designed as a complex and compelling landscape system.
A Layered Approach for the Discovery and Mapping of Prehistoric Sites Beneath Lake Huron
Authors: O'Shea John M. , Lemke Ashley K.
Published: July 2020

AbstractFor much of modern human history (roughly the last 200,000 years), global sea levels have been lower than present. As such, it is hardly surprising that archaeologists increasingly are looking to submarine environments to address some of their most pressing questions.
While underwater archaeology is most commonly associated with shipwrecks, the search for submerged prehistoric sites presents an entirely different set of challenges, even though many of the same technologies are used. For Great Lakes archaeologists, the problem is how best to adapt the range
of available seafloor mapping and testing techniques to the problem of identifying prehistoric sites, while operating with smaller vessels and the limited budgets available to “normal” archaeology. In this paper, we briefly describe the approach we have developed at the University
of Michigan for identifying 9,000-year-old caribou hunting sites beneath Lake Huron. The research employs a layered research design integrating sonars, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and scuba divers at progressively finer scales to discover and investigate these important new archaeological
sites.
Predictive Modeling of Pressure Injury Risk in Patients Admitted to an Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Ladios-Martin Mireia , Fernández-de-Maya José , Ballesta-López Francisco-Javier , Belso-Garzas Adrián , Mas-Asencio Manuel , Cabañero-Martínez María José
Published: July 2020

Background

Pressure injuries are an important problem in hospital care. Detecting the population at risk for pressure injuries is the first step in any preventive strategy. Available tools such as the Norton and Braden scales do not take into account all of the relevant risk factors. Data mining and machine learning techniques have the potential to overcome this limitation.

Objectives

To build a model to detect pressure injury risk in intensive care unit patients and to put the model into production in a real environment.

Methods

The sample comprised adult patients admitted to an intensive care unit (N = 6694) at University Hospital of Torrevieja and University Hospital of Vinalopó. A retrospective design was used to train (n = 2508) and test (n = 1769) the model and then a prospective design was used to test the model in a real environment (n = 2417). Data mining was used to extract variables from electronic medical records and a predictive model was built with machine learning techniques. The sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve, and accuracy of the model were evaluated.

Results

The final model used logistic regression and incorporated 23 variables. The model had sensitivity of 0.90, specificity of 0.74, and area under the curve of 0.89 during the initial test, and thus it outperformed the Norton scale. The model performed well 1 year later in a real environment.

Conclusions

The model effectively predicts risk of pressure injury. This allows nurses to focus on patients at high risk for pressure injury without increasing workload.
Family Behaviors as Unchanging Obstacles in End-of-Life Care: 16-Year Comparative Data
Authors: Beckstrand Renea L. , Jenkins Jasmine B. , Luthy Karlen E. , Macintosh Janelle L. B.
Published: July 2020

Background

Critical care nurses routinely care for dying patients. Research on obstacles in providing end-of-life care has been conducted for more than 20 years, but change in such obstacles over time has not been examined.

Objective

To determine whether the magnitude scores of obstacles and helpful behaviors regarding end-of-life care have changed over time.

Methods

In this cross-sectional survey study, questionnaires were sent to 2000 randomly selected members of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses. Obstacle and helpful behavior items were analyzed using mean magnitude scores. Current data were compared with data gathered in 1999.

Results

Of the 2000 questionnaires mailed, 509 usable responses were received. Six obstacle magnitude scores increased significantly over time, of which 4 were related to family issues (not accepting the poor prognosis, intrafamily fighting, overriding the patient’s end-of-life wishes, and not understanding the meaning of the term lifesaving measures). Two were related to nurse issues. Seven obstacles decreased in magnitude, including poor design of units, overly restrictive visiting hours, and physicians avoiding conversations with families. Four helpful behavior magnitude scores increased significantly over time, including physician agreement on patient care and family access to the patient. Three helpful behavior items decreased in magnitude, including intensive care unit design.

Conclusions

The same end-of-life care obstacles that were reported in 1999 are still present. Obstacles related to family behaviors increased significantly, whereas obstacles related to intensive care unit environment or physician behaviors decreased significantly. These results indicate a need for better end-of-life education for families and health care providers.

Published: July 2020

The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence of tetracycline resistant bacteria isolated from different water samples and the genes responsible for this resistance. Two hundred fifty isolates were isolated from different water samples from two different locations. Isolates were obtained from El-Zamalek site was (n =110) and from Rod El-Farag site was (n = 140). A hundred isolates out of 250 bacterial isolates (40%) were resistant to tetracycline at a concentration of 16 μg/ml. Only 31 (31%) were selected due to their resistance to (32 μg/ml) tetracycline for identification. All selected isolates were identified according to biochemical and the 16S sequence techniques. The 16S rDNA gene sequences of the bacterial isolates which were reported in this study were submitted to the NCBI database. Of the 31 isolates were analyzed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), results showed that 41.9 % (13/31) harbored tet A gene, 74.2% (23/31) carried tet D gene, while 12.9 % (4/31) carried tet M gene. Whereas tet B, tet C and tet O were not detected. Twenty-one isolates (67.7%) harbored a single tet gene, five isolates (16.1%) harbored two different tet genes while three isolates (9.7 %) harbored three different tet genes. Moreover, two isolates were free from any tested tet genes.

Do Macroeconomic Variables Predict Deposit Money Banks’ Performance in Nigeria?
Authors: Ejem Chukwu Agwu , Ogbonna Udochukwu Godfrey , Ogbulu Onyemachi Maxwell
Published: July 2020

This study investigated the relationship between macroeconomic variables and the performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria, analyzed with suitable finametric tools. The results of the empirical examination found that all the macroeconomic variables employed (economic growth rate, interest rate, inflation rate, money supply and exchange rate in this study have no significant relationship with bank performance. It was also observed that each and jointly, the macroeconomic variables do not cause bank performance both in the short run and long run. Again, that bank performance responds insignificantly to the shocks of all the macroeconomic variables. Consequently the researchers advocate that deposit money banks in Nigeria with inherent discretionary policy be proactive to the monetary and fiscal policies of regulatory authorities in order to enhance their performance.
Once more ABOUT THE NATIVE LANGUAGE as a FACTOR
OF NATIONal UNITY
Authors: БЕСОЛОВА Е.Б.
Published: July 2020

В статье предпринята попытка подтверждения связи состояние национального языка и в синхронии, и в диахронии с аспектами его функционирования в образовательном пространстве, а так же с изучением и преподаванием как средствами его сохранения и воссоздания. Приоритетным фактором в деле защиты речи является повышение образовательного и культурного уровня носителей языка, для чего предлагается рассмотреть его как экологическую проблему. В поле зрения постоянно находятся вопросы, связанные с необходимостью искоренения имеющихся в обществе критических явлений в освоении и употреблении национального языка, в соблюдении языковых норм, особенно сейчас, в постперестроечные годы. Язык неотделим от интеллектуального потенциала народа; исчезновение языка – это не только утрата коммуникации, но и всей системы национальных символов, кодов, созданной на протяжении тысячелетий каждым этносом, имеющим полное право интерпретировать мир по-своему; это потеря сокровищницы обычаев, нравов и традиций. Защита языка эффективна при условии личной активности каждого члена сообщества в сохранении его национальной специфики и самобытности, в бережном отношении к языковой преемственности, языковому единству. Одной из основных целей любого этноса является сохранение памяти о себе и передача накопленной информации будущим поколениям, и эту функцию выполняет язык, создающий пространство, в котором осуществляется общение и возникает понимание единства нации.

The article attempts to show that the current state of the national language and in synchrony and diachronic aspects related to its functioning in the educational space, with the study and teaching as a means of preservation and recreation. The author believes that a priority in the protection of speech is to improve the educational and cultural level of its speakers, which is invited to consider language as an environmental problem. In the field of view are always issues related to the need to eliminate existing critical phenomena in society to the development and use of the national language, to comply with the rules of language, especially now, in the post-perestroika years. Language is inseparable from the intellectual potential of the nation; the disappearance of the language is not only a loss of communication, but also of the entire system of national symbols, codes, created over the millennia by each ethnic group that has every right to interpret the world in its own way; it is the loss of a treasury of customs, mores and traditions. Language protection is effective provided that each member of the community is personally active. The main task of the ecology of the language is to preserve its national specificity and identity, in a careful attitude to linguistic continuity, linguistic unity. One of the main goals of any ethnic group is to preserve the memory of itself and transmit the accumulated information to future generations, and this function is performed by the language, because it creates a space in which communication takes place and an understanding of the unity of the nation arises.

La justicia cautelar en el ámbito de la salud
Authors: Pérez Gálvez Juan Francisco
Published: July 2020

Las medidas cautelares son importantes por la trascendencia que tienen. En el ámbito de la salud cobran un valor especial por cuanto puede comprometer no sólo la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos, sino la posibilidad de que afecte a un derecho tan elemental. Medicamentos, productos sanitarios, centros, servicios y establecimientos sanitarios, salud electrónica, etc, son objeto de atención preferente, y la valoración y ponderación circunstanciada de los intereses concurrentes resulta capital. Analizar los elementos que confluyen y su operatividad es el objeto de este trabajo. Su presencia cuantitativamente no es numerosa debido a un magnífico sistema de autorización, detección precoz, vigilancia y alerta. Sin embargo, cualitativamente, su relevancia es extraordinaria. Especialmente en el supuesto de las medidas cautelares provisionalísimas.
Nuevas tendencias en materia de medidas cautelares en el proceso contencioso-administrativo (especial referencia al derecho español)
Authors: Rodríguez - Arana Jaime
Published: July 2020

La ley española de lo Contencioso Administrativo de 1998 confirmó una nueva forma de entender las medidas cautelares que la jurisprudencia y la doctrina venía demandando desde la promulgación de la Constitución de 1978, marco en el que se inscribe este trabajo. Se analiza la problemática de la interpretación constitucional de la autotutela y se estudia el nuevo papel del interés general en la funcionalidad de las medidas cautelares, con especial referencia al concepto de irreversibilidad de los daños.
Sobre la aprobación de la Ley de modificación de la Ley 12/2007, de 26 de noviembre, para la promoción de la igualdad de género en Andalucía
Authors: Vázquez Alonso Víctor Javier
Published: July 2020

La ley 12/2007, de 26 de noviembre, para la promoción de la igualdad de género en Andalucía es un texto prolijo y ambicioso que fue aprobado por la unanimidad de los grupos que en aquel entonces disfrutaban de representación parlamentaria. Es sobre esa normativa, inalterada hasta ahora, sobre la que la ley aprobada por el Parlamento Andaluz el 26 de septiembre de 2018, introduce modificaciones sin duda relevantes, y dirigidas, en buena medida, a dotar de eficacia a un marco jurídico que había sido criticado por su excesivo carácter programático, y que, en cualquier caso, no se adecua a las nuevas demandas sociales que existen en este ámbito.

La jubilación forzosa de los empleados públicos
Authors: Gómez-Millán Herencia María José
Published: July 2020

Por su colisión con el derecho fundamental a la no discriminación por razón de edad, la jubilación forzosa ha sido siempre una institución controvertida, pasando su regulación por diferentes fases, que han ido desde su prohibición total (legal y convencional) hacia la admisión más absoluta (incluso cuando no existía causa justificativa de empleo). En los últimos años, se aprecia un retorno al punto de partida, incluso para los funcionarios públicos, que son prácticamente los únicos trabajadores a los que les sería de aplicación, advirtiéndose una discordancia, a cuyo análisis se dedica este trabajo tras delimitar el espacio en el que opera, entre la configuración contenida en la Ley 7/2007, de 12 de abril, del Estatuto Básico del Empleado Público, en adelante EBEP (favorable a la jubilación forzosa tras confirmarse la supresión del derecho a la prolongación en el servicio activo) y la interpretación judicial del TS (restrictiva de su validez, acercándose con ello a los pronunciamientos del TJUE y del TC).
El Estatuto del personal de las asambleas legislativas autonómicas, como reserva competencial en el ordenamiento jurídico derivado parlamentario
Authors: Cano Silva Rafael
Published: July 2020

La Constitución Española y los diversos Estatutos de Autonomía de las comunidades autónomas realizan una reserva a favor de sus parlamentos, al objeto de la organización interna, si bien no todos lo hacen en materia de personal. Este artículo muestra como esa reserva estatutaria debe ser considerada como competencia exclusiva de la comunidad autónoma y como competencia específica de su cámara parlamentaria, al objeto de la determinación de los estatutos del personal de las asambleas legislativas en el sistema de fuentes del ordenamiento jurídico español, erigiéndose el sistema de distribución competencial en un prius en la fijación del tipo normativo, al objeto de que los mismos puedan tener rango y fuerza de ley.

Reforma y simplificación de la denominada erróneamente “prescripción de enfermería”
Authors: Pérez Gálvez Juan Francisco
Published: July 2020

El ámbito de la salud ha experimentado notables cambios en los últimos cuarenta años. Los medicamentos y productos sanitarios no son ajenos a esta realidad, en un contexto donde la prescripción, indicación, uso y autorización de dispensación de los mismos ha supuesto otorgar una nueva dimensión a la participación activa de los distintos profesionales sanitarios que confluyen en la atención integral a los ciudadanos.

Explicar el régimen jurídico diseñado inicialmente y modificado por el Real Decreto 1302/2018, de 22 de octubre es el objeto de este trabajo. La actualidad de la iniciativa y su dimensión jurídica y social demandan un análisis de urgencia que de luz a lo que ha sido un itinerario cargado de dificultades en su aplicación, que ha generado colisión competencial entre la Administración central y autonómica, entre profesionales (facultativos y personal de enfermería) y desasosiego en los usuarios.
Comentario a las Sentencias del Tribunal Supremo de 4 de junio y 26 de junio de 2018 sobre diversas cuestiones en materia de expropiación
Authors: Canterla Muñoz Darío
Published: July 2020

El presente trabajo parte de la labor de “conservación y restauración” que lleva a cabo la jurisprudencia para el mantenimiento del “monumento jurídico” de la Ley de Expropiación Forzosa de 1954. El estudio se centra en comentar la Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo (STS) de 4 de junio de 2018 que interpreta la Disposición Adicional de la citada Ley, y la STS de 26 de junio de 2018 estableciendo cuales son los requisitos exigibles a la información pública en el procedimiento de urgencia. Finalmente apunta problemas pendientes en la materia advirtiendo sobre la necesidad de retomar la preocupación del legislador y los gestores públicos sobre esta situación habida cuenta de que la Jurisprudencia está limitada en esta encomiable labor por el principio de legalidad.
