Authors: Lasut Zefanya Jennifer , Kusumiati Ratriana Yuliastuti Endang
Published: June 2024

A broken home is a family condition that experiences a split due to a problem that results in quarrels about divorce. A broken home greatly impacts the process of child development in social interaction. Children, especially in adolescence, are an important segment of life in the individual development cycle and require interaction with others in the process of self-discovery, so self-confidence is needed. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-confidence and social interaction in adolescents from divorced families. Participants in this study were 77 adolescents from divorced families in Manado City with an age range of 13–18 years. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling. Data were collected using the self-confidence scale compiled by Lauster (2012) and the social interaction scale developed by Winslow et al.. The results of this study showed a significant positive relationship between self-confidence and social interaction, with a correlation of r = 0.477 and a significance of 0.000 (p<0.05). This means that the higher the self-confidence, the higher the social interaction.
Protection Of Land Rights Of The Happy Beach Village Community Based On National Agrarian Law
Authors: Ahmad Gaffar , Wahyuni Ridha
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this research is to determine the protection of land rights for the residents of Pantai Bahagia village based on national agrarian law. The method used is the juridical-empirical method. The juridical-empirical method is a research approach that examines the current regulations as seen from the realities in society, or research that observes the application of the law in its actual state. The results of this study indicate that the form of protection of land rights that can be provided to the 2014 households in Pantai Bahagia Village, who occupy land in forest areas, can be realized through the release of forest areas. The release of these forest areas is carried out through a request to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), considering evidence of land ownership and historical data possessed by the community. With the release of the forest area, the community can then register the land as their property rights, thus providing legal certainty over their land.

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of Commerce, Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith. Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India., Kumar Dr. Ayush , Gupta Laxmi Shanker
Published: June 2024

Digital currencies, or cryptocurrencies, are gaining popularity. Some national central banks are contemplating digital currencies to address these issues and accelerate the cashless society transition. A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a nation's official currency and central bank liabilities in digital form. Nine companies appear to be working with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on the Central Bank Digital Currency pilot plan. You may recognise IDFC First Bank, HDFC Bank, State Bank of India, and ICICI Bank. Indian digital currency, the Digital Rupee, will be tested by the Reserve Bank of India on November 1, 2022. On October 31, 2022, the government agency in charge of the project stated that this pilot endeavour will facilitate secondary market transactions involving government securities. The RBI has chosen nine financial institutions to pilot the Digital Rupee. Bank of Baroda, State Bank of India, Union Bank of India, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, IDFC First Bank, YES Bank, and HSBC are notable financial institutions. This study seeks to understand the growth of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in India, taking into account its global adoption to speed up transactions, improve security, and reduce physical currency production costs.

PENERAPAN PRINSIP MAQASHID SYARIAH DALAM PERUNDANG-UNDANGAN DI INDONESIA
Authors: Jauhari Jauhari
Published: June 2024

Islamic law has a central position in the life of the majority of Indonesian society. Maqashid Sharia, the fundamental principles in Islamic law, became the main purpose of establishing law and became the foundation for the benefit of mankind. This study investigates the application of Maqashid Sharia in legislation through three research methods, namely normative, socio-legal, and literature legal research. The results showed a gap between theory and practice in the application of Maqashid Sharia. Although efforts have been made to integrate the principles of Maqashid Sharia in legislation, their implementation is limited and often influenced by local factors, madhhab, and socio-political context. As many as 40% of the public have a good understanding of Maqashid Sharia, while 60% of respondents, including judges and lawmakers, tend to interpret it according to the Shafi'i school. Therefore, serious efforts are needed in socialization, education, and integration of Maqashid Syariah in the legal system and law enforcement practices in Indonesia. This integration requires a systematic and measurable approach, where the textual approach provides a strong foundation of religious sources, the contextual approach ensures relevance and successful implementation, the participatory approach increases accountability and transparency, and the comparative approach allows the adoption of the best models from other countries
Historical land use and land cover change reduced the temperature of cold extremes more than that of hot extremes
Authors: Tang Tao , Lee Xuhui , Zhang Keer
Published: June 2024

The impact of historical land use and land cover change (LULCC) on the mean climate has been extensively studied, but its impact on temperature extremes is not well understood. This study investigates the biophysical effect of LULCC on temperature extremes using two sets of model simulations – one with land use fixed at 1850 level and the other with historical LULCC from 1850 to 2014. We find that the historical LULCC has two asymmetric effects: (i) it decreases the temperature of coldest day (–0.56 ± 0.23 K; mean ± std. error) more than that of the hottest day (–0.21 ± 0.07 K) at the mid-latitudes of northern hemisphere; and (ii) it has a stronger impact in the mid-latitudes of northern hemisphere relative to the tropical region. These changes result largely from an indirect effect of LULCC via changes in clouds, circulations, and the downward longwave radiation. We stress that the indirect effects from climate feedback of LULCC should be considered when implementing reforestation policy.
Exploring the Influence of Cumulative Ecological Risk on Belief in Fake News: A Longitudinal Study
Authors: Wu Yanhong , Mustafa Hasrina
Published: June 2024

Objectives:The dangers to society and individual persons of believing fake news are becoming more apparent, and it is increasingly important to explore the factors that influence believing fake news. Due to persons developing and having a unique consciousness, personality, and set of behaviors across interconnected ecological risks, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the cumulative effects of multiple ecological risks and believing fake news.Methods:We conducted a survey over 2 time periods at 4 public universities in Beijing, China. We used cluster sampling and obtained 406 valid samples for each of the 2 time periods. We constructed a reflective formative second-order model using least partial squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) for data analysis and analysed the model type through quadratic term effects.Results:First, there was a bidirectional impact between cumulative ecological risk and believing fake news, ie, not only did it show the importance of the environment in which individuals find themselves in shaping their beliefs about fake news, but it also demonstrated the dangers of fake news; second, cognitive bias mediates the relationship between cumulative ecological risk and believing in fake news, demonstrating the mechanism between cumulative ecological risk and believing in fake news; and third, the cumulative effect of ecological risk affects believing fake news following an exacerbation model.Conclusions:The tendency towards believing in fake news grows exponentially as a person experiences multiple risks from family, school, and peers. This study provides both theoretical and practical knowledge to combat fake news effectively.

Authors: Gond Nitin Kumar , Kujur Monica Jyoti , Chaudhary Balkishan , Patel Monika , Babbar Anita
Published: June 2024

Performance on seed yield and yield attributing traits of 41 advance breeding lines were used to estimate parameters of genetic variability, association analysis and diversity analysis between seed yield and its contributing traits. Traits such as biological yield per plant, number of seeds per pod, seed yield per plant, stem thickness, height of first fruiting node, number of effective pods per plant, total number of pods per plant, harvest index and primary branches per plant revealed high genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation, heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean. High magnitude of positive direct effect and significantly positive correlations on seed yield per plant was found with number of effective pods per plant, biological yield per plant, harvest index and number of secondary branches per plant. Clustering analysis based on various morphological traits assorted 41 desi chickpea genotypes into four clusters. Traits like biological yield, plant height and 100 seed weight contributed most towards the genetic divergence. Genotypes ICCV211103, ICCV211106, ICCV211108, ICCV211111, ICCV211116, RVG 204, JG 24, JG 12, JG 16, Virat and Vishal recorded maximum positive principal component scores for the traits viz., plant height, total number of pods per plant, number of effective pods per plant, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, stem thickness, biological yield per plant, harvest index, seed yield per plant, 100 seed weight and stem height at first fruiting node, therefore these genotypes will as promising donor lines for chickpea yield improvement.

Purpose: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to an association between COVID-19 and pediatric diabetes. Studies have indicated the increased likelihood of children with COVID-19 infection developing diabetes. Our objective was to assess not only the increase in pediatric diabetes at our hospital and identify possible risk factors, but also to correlate the psychosocial changes resulting from the pandemic with new-onset diabetes.Methods: We analyzed data from 58 children aged 1 to 18 years admitted to our hospital with new-onset diabetes between March 2020 and December 2021. The data included inflammatory biomarkers and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies (Abs), as well as the results of a lifestyle questionnaire.Results: The average number of hospital admissions per month for new-onset diabetes increased from 10 to 18 with the start of the pandemic. Of the 58 children in our analysis, 33% had positive SARS-CoV-2 IgG Ab, 31% had type 1 diabetes mellitus, and 62% had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). More than half (54%) were experiencing diabetic ketoacidosis. Those with T2DM were older, majority African American, had higher median body mass index (BMI) percentiles, and lower vitamin D levels. There were no significant correlations between any psychosocial risk factors and either diabetes type or SARS-CoV2 Ab status.Conclusion: Despite the increased incidence of new-onset diabetes among children in Mississippi during the pandemic, this study was unable to demonstrate a significant correlation between COVID-19 infection and new-onset diabetes. The findings of this study highlighted the correlation between increased BMI and type 2 diabetes, underscoring the significant problems of obesity and diabetes in our study region. Further research is warranted.
Territorialidades de la fe en el catolicismo brasileño: espacialidad y temporalidad en las nuevas comunicaciones
Authors: Rodrigues de Oliveira Jefferson
Published: June 2024

A medida que surgen nuevos paradigmas y formas de pensar y actuar en el mundo, la religión, como un fenómeno cultural, debe acompañar estos cambios para su mantenimiento y existencia. Insertadas en un contexto posmoderno de la sociedad, las religiones deben crear mecanismos que permitan continuar el ejercicio de sus territorialidades, manteniendo así sus poderes sobre sus territorios, tanto el físico como los más recientemente territorios virtuales vinculados al ciberespacio. La religión tiene una verdadera necesidad de entrar en estos contextos plurales para no quedar enyesada y cristalizada, sino para continuar con su poder en diferentes escalas a partir de los nuevos paradigmas. En este trabajo se pretende destacar los cambios que se han producido en la Iglesia Católica Apostólica Romana en Brasil, así como sus estrategias de permanencia en el poder y la difusión de la fe a través de las nuevas comunicaciones. Para cumplir con el objetivo propuesto, este artículo se divide en tres partes: a) Territorio y territorialidad de la Iglesia Católica en Brasil; b) La difusión de la fe católica en la hipermodernidad, y c) Renovación carismática católica y las nuevas comunidades.

Published: June 2024

Se define al conocimiento cultural como una lengua franca que funciona como un marco simbólico compartido. Éste permite interactuar a los diversos grupos de una sociedad sobre un código común relativo a un modo de pensamiento particular. En este artículo, en el contexto de la antropología cognitiva y la entrevista etnosemántica, se presenta el mapa cognitivo de lo numínico que, hasta el momento, y por saturación de muestra, ha arrojado una investigación sobre el capital cultural en estudiantes de licenciatura en Aguascalientes, México. Se expone el conocimiento religioso compartido y cómo se organiza la religión, la religiosidad y otros modos de pensamiento contiguos, en una población que presenta cierta diversidad religiosa e incluso un respetable porcentaje de escépticos.
RELIGIOUS IDENTITY POLITICS IN GUATEMALA AND NICARAGUA: A RESEARCH REPORT
Authors: Schäfer Heinrich W. , Reu Tobias , Tovar Adrian
Published: June 2024

The present article is based upon a research report of a project on religion, society, and politics in the two countries of Guatemala and Nicaragua. There are two aspects of the article we consider of interest for the readers. First, the project described is an example for social scientific inquiry of religious movements by means of HabitusAnalysis, a theory and method developed on the basis of Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of praxis. In this sense, the article shows how to proceed in a praxeological study of religious actors and what the outcomes of such an approach can be. Second, in the chapter of “results” important findings are sketched so that there is a surplus as well in terms of empirical knowledge.
UN CONFLICTO PLASMADO EN CARTAS: CONVERGENCIAS Y DIVERGENCIAS ENTRE SACERDOTES Y COOPERADORAS SALESIANAS. ARGENTINA (1920-1926)
Authors: Bracamonte Lucia
Published: June 2024

En 1920 la Comisión Central de Señoras Cooperadoras creó una subcomisión para auxiliar a los salesianos en la Patagonia, la cual inició un proceso de autonomización que se extendió hasta 1926.  Los conflictos desencadenados quedaron registrados en la correspondencia.  El objetivo del artículo es identificar las funciones de las cartas y estudiar su contenido, a fin de analizar los consensos y los desacuerdos entre los actores involucrados, así como también las estrategias de las cooperadoras para inclinar a su favor la resolución del problema. Sostenemos que las autoridades de la Comisión Central opusieron resistencia al desmembramiento de la misma con el fin de mantener el control sobre la subcomisión, la acción unificada y la posición de preeminencia de su grupo. Las presidentas apelaron a los sacerdotes –tanto a los inspectores como a los superiores– para que operaran como árbitros.  Como consecuencia, influyeron sobre el diseño normativo y práctico que dio marco a su accionar colectivo.
Pentecostalismo global y religión en Asia
Authors: Anderson Allan
Published: June 2024

En este artículo trataré de describir una importante característica del cristianismo y la religión en Asia, acerca de lo cual se ha escrito relativamente poco. Se ha descrito al Pentecostalismo comola religión mundial de más rápido crecimiento del siglo XX, habiendo crecido, en solo un siglo, en más de quinientos millones aquellos que se identificarían con él en alguna de sus diferentes formas: una estadística que ha sido muy usada, pero imposible de verificar. No obstante, su nivel de crecimiento mundial probablemente no tiene precedentes en la historia de las religiones y constituye una notable reacción a la modernidad.
La dialéctica de fe y razón en el mundo contemporáneo

El optimismo del pensamiento moderno pronosticó el fin de la religión, considerándola un merofetiche de la ignorancia e incapacidad humana. Una mera ilusión que alienaba a las masas delmundo terrenal por una fantasía celeste. Sin embargo la religión logró capear las tormentas cientificistas hasta la década del sesenta del siglo XX. Paulatinamente la religión comenzó a servista como una institución humana que se vivificaba como nunca antes, trayendo esperanza, consuelo y confianza al ser humano ante los desencanto de la modernización incumplida de la política y la economía.
Religión y exclusión/marginación. Pentecostalismo globalizado entre los hispanos en Newark, Nueva Jersey
Authors: Maduro Otto
Published: June 2024

La reciente y creciente literatura sobre el Pentecostalismo –así como una investigaciónsobre las iglesias de origen hispano que llevo a cabo en Newark, la ciudad más grande de Nueva Jersey-, sugieren, entre otras cosas, que se está desarrollando un fecundo encuentro entre, por un lado, los latinoamericanos obligados a la emigración a causa de su exclusión y/omarginación de los actuales procesos de globalización económica y, por el otro, la expansión global del Pentecostalismo. Parece que los nuevos inmigrantes encuentran en el Pentecostalismo un juego de “herramientas” socio-religiosas extremadamente útiles para enfrentar y vencer creativamente los obstáculos inherentes a la experiencia de la migración. Esto parece ser especialmente verdadero en el caso de individuos solos y en el de pequeños grupos que se mueven en ambientes donde se encuentran a sí mismos en una situación desafiante o de desventaja, sea ésta económica, cultural, lingüística, legal y/o educacional. Eneste breve ensayo, intentaré contextualizar y describir algunas de las dinámicasdesencadenadas a través de tales encuentros entre inmigrantes latinoamericanos e iglesiaspentecostales, especialmente como ellas ocurren en Newark (NJ), pero que parece repetirsede modo similar en diferentes lugares, contribuyendo, a menudo, tanto a ensanchar lasprobabilidades de una sobrevivencia creadora para los inmigrantes latinoamericanos que estánbajo las lamentables dificultades de la globalización económica, como a contribuir alcrecimiento mundial del Pentecostalismo.

Los mayas, la espiritualidad y la historia incompleta del conflicto en Guatemala
Authors: Hinojosa Servando Z.
Published: June 2024

Las prácticas espirituales mayas en Guatemala han sido desafiadas activamente por las religionesinstitucionales y por otros sectores públicos. Muchos ritualistas mayas han sido hostigados porlíderes de otras religiones y han sido atacados por un aparato estatal que asocia la vida maya rural con la insurgencia. Como resultado, muchos elementos espirituales mayas han sidoalejados hasta las márgenes de la sociedad. Dirigiéndose a las últimas dos décadas, este trabajo examina como, a pesar de esto, los mayas mantienen una vida ritual activa. Logran estomediante una relación estrecha con los dueños espirituales de la tierra, seres de quienes dependen los humanos por su sustento y vida. Logran esto, además, mientras que enfrenten muchos desafíos de parte de las religiones institucionales, del sistema escolar y del sector militar. Habiendo apreciado los efectos que tienen estas instituciones sobre la espiritualidad maya, articulo unas dificultades que enfrentan los mayas cuando asesoren y promuevan las prácticas espirituales en Guatemala. Además de fomentar un interés patrimonial entre la juventud maya, los mayas tendrán que exigir que las congregaciones católicas y evangélicas dejen de reprochar ala espiritualidad maya y, en lugar de esto, concedan su importancia amplia en la sociedad pluricultural.
La radicalización católica en Argentina y Chile en los sesenta
Authors: Gomes Gabriela
Published: June 2024

En este artículo se analiza el proceso de radicalización católica de los años ´60 en Argentina y Chile. Se plantea como hipótesis que el diálogo entre “cristianos y marxistas” desencadenó el proceso de la radicalización del mundo católico, lo cual tuvo un impacto decisivo en la reconfiguración de campo político. Entendemos que la manera en que los católicos se vincularon con el marxismo en los años sesenta constituye un elemento clave para comprender la transformación de la mentalidad de sectores del catolicismo.
La Patagonia como territorio en disputa: tensiones entre el Estado, la Iglesia y la Congregación salesiana por el espacio misionero
Authors: Nicoletti María
Published: June 2024

La Patagonia fue el primer territorio salesiano “ad gentes”. La creación de su administración bajo la figura de un Vicariato y Prefectura apostólica de parte de la Congregación Salesiana y el Colegio de Propaganda Fide, trajo aparejados numerosos conflictos con las Iglesias Argentina y Chilena y con  ambos Estados nacionales. Estos conflictos, en el marco histórico de la construcción de las naciones del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX, fueron acompañados por los planes de evangelización que la Congregación salesiana había formulado para los pueblos originarios. Bajo la gestión y dirección de los dos primeros rectores mayores de la Congregación, Don Bosco y Don Rua, se resolvieron los  problemas con las Iglesias y Estados de ambas naciones, cargados de tensiones en la construcción del territorio de evangelización considerado según cada institución como “terra nullius”, “territorio salesiano” o “territorio nacional y diocesano”.
Entre la Potestas y la Auctoritas”. Un recorrido histórico por el dualismo del poder en el occidente cristiano
Authors: Estruch Dolores
Published: June 2024

El presente artículo apunta a realizar un recorrido histórico y analítico por las relaciones establecidas entre el poder temporal y el espiritual, partiendo de tiempos medievales y considerándolas en diferentes niveles de análisis. En este sentido, el trabajo se organiza a partir de una serie de pares dicotómicos, los cuales consideramos fueron claves dentro de la evolución de las relaciones entre lo temporal y lo religioso. Estos parten de la clásica antagonía medieval entre regnum y sacerdotium, para ser sustituidas por el nuevo par entre Derecho y Rey en el siglo XIII. Avanzan hasta enfrentar a la “Iglesia” y el “Estado” en torno al prototipo globalizador que ofrece el concepto corporativo del corpus mysticum y, finalmente, terminan encontrando su tensa y contradictoria unión en el concepto de “monarquía católica”.
La crisis del catolicismo en Argentina. Su impacto en los ritos de paso
Authors: Masferrer Elio
Published: June 2024

Este artículo aborda la estructura cuantitativa del campo religioso argentino partiendo de fuentes diversas. Lo más novedoso que estamos introduciendo es una fuente poco consultada por los especialistas rioplatenses, el Anuario Estadístico de la Iglesia Católica. El abordaje de la información estará orientado hacia el cumplimiento de los ritos de paso (bautizos, primeras comuniones, confirmaciones y matrimonios religiosos), entre 1980 y 2010. Dichos resultados son confrontados con la información del Registro Civil en materia de nacimientos y casamientos. Esto nos permite construir un conjunto de indicadores, más vinculados con las “series vitales” en demografía. Con ellas se calcula habitualmente el crecimiento vegetativo de una población. En este caso, trataremos de abordar la dinámica de las “series vitales del pueblo católico”. Desde allí las compararemos con los cortes situacionales, como los censos o encuestas de carácter nacional, para poder validar, rebatir y/o enriquecer las cifras censales y de las grandes encuestas nacionales.
"Católicos, apostólicos y no-satánicos": Representaciones contemporáneas en México y construcciones locales (Veracruz) del culto a la Santa Muerte
Authors: Argyriadis Kali
Published: June 2024

Este artículo, mediante un enfoque basado en un cuestionamiento de la oposición clásica entre religión institucional y religiosidad popular, propone analizar la manera en que los devotos del culto a la Santa Muerte, en interacción con los medios de comunicación, los discursos académicos y las denuncias de la Iglesia Católica Mexicana, construyen en la actualidad varios sistemas locales de sentido. Basado en una reseña crítica de los trabajos existentes sobre el tema, este estudio se nutre también de una etnografía propia llevada a cabo en la ciudad de Veracruz entre 2004 y 2011. Intenta mostrar en particular cómo los debates sobre la historia y/o la legitimidad del culto han desencadenado una búsqueda de reconocimiento por parte de los fieles, así como el inicio de un proceso de construcción de la tradición, con vertientes nacional y regionales, en un contexto de intensas luchas de poder inter- e intra-grupos. Finalmente, propone pistas de reflexión para profundizar la investigación sobre esta devoción.

Recientemente los estudios que articulan el fenómeno juvenil con el religioso han tenido que plantearse la problemática de la distancia creciente que tienen los jóvenes con las instancias religiosas convencionales. En esta discusión el presente artículo pretende ponderar algunos argumentos y maneras de acercarse al fenómeno para comprender que ciertamente los jóvenes evangélicos en México se distancian de las instituciones que regulan la fe, ponderando nuevas formas de religiosidad, de modo que los jóvenes ya no deben responder “a dónde pertenezco”, sino, “dónde me identifico”.

Published: June 2024

The work was carried out on Jambelí Island, Jambelí Archipelago located in the Santa Rosa canton, El Oro province in Ecuador, the objective of the research was to determine the main anthropic activities through scientific research for the correct social development and conservation of biodiversity. The fieldwork allowed us to know the main activities carried out by its community members to generate sources of work in the place, determining that tourism and the collection of fauna species for sale are common activities among the inhabitants. Although it is a large natural space and important for the environment, conservation is in danger because shrimp farming in the place has triggered a large number of problems for the community members, affecting their proper social development, and causing unfortunate damage to the place. Sustainable social development through bioethics seeks to generate a change in people's awareness to respect life and care for the environment, to achieve a positive impact, mainly benefiting the inhabitants since well-preserved resources create a bridge to a better future. With the study we want to highlight the importance of social development and sustainable development, promoting it from bioethics and achieving the conservation of the habitat of many species that are being lost and that are essential for the food chain and the economic livelihood of many families.

Published: June 2024

The current global context has demonstrated the permanent and continuous evolution of technologies, as well as their use in different areas: socio-labour, cultural, political, and economic; this has generated, among other aspects, the development of digital platforms and other technological means that promote new forms of employment, which today degrade and do not recognise the labour rights of workers. Therefore, the objective of the study was to analyse the Constitutional Right to Work in the new form of digital employment of home delivery services. The methodology applied began with an exploratory, descriptive research, under a qualitative design, a review of the scientific literature was carried out, complemented with the analysis of the national and international legal framework and the application of the qualitative interview technique to study the case of Ecuador. The use of technology has boosted and increased informal employment in Ecuador, the work carried out by delivery workers through digital media does not recognise the constitutional guarantees of decent work, therefore, it is necessary the urgent intervention of the State through the legislative body to adapt labour regulations to these new forms of employment that currently violate all the labour rights of those who provide this service.

Published: June 2024

This article is intended to thoroughly analyze the gender perspective as a relevant aspect with regard to both the training of mediators and the mediation process in Ecuador. Based on research with a qualitative approach, in light of a documentary, logical-historical and exegetical review, this research paper also proposes creative conflict transformation in terms of restorative justice so as to promote a change in the social paradigm, based upon the search for new ways to build agreements that overcome gender stereotypes. This research article concludes by stating the fact that it is the responsibility of those who carry out the mediation process and the training of future mediators to instruct them in the use of the appropriate techniques and tools, so that this process is carried out with equality and equity, by putting aside stereotypes, to achieve peace processes that are more inclusive and effective in Ecuador.
El principio de voluntariedad de la mediación en los actos notariales
Authors: Mongón-Cepeda María Trinidad , Fabian Carrillo Alfredo
Published: June 2024

The present work proposed to investigate the principle of voluntariness that governs the mediation system, as an effective device to solve extrajudicial conflicts. The methodological approach will be systemic, of a theoretical - deductive type, of a socio - legal nature and with the support of comparative law. Through comparative law, mainly the study of the regulations that contemplate the competence of notaries as mediators in Spain, Mexico and Germany, the possibility that its implementation within the Ecuadorian notarial system may be feasible was analyzed. The principle of voluntariness, notarial mediation and notarial acts were defined conceptually, to later proceed to carry out the respective discussion. It was concluded that in mediation it is the same interested parties who voluntarily accept the responsibility of resolving their conflicts and reaching satisfactory agreements for all parties. This through a simple and flexible procedure, assisted by the impartial and confidential presence of the notary trained for such purposes. In Ecuador, as in countries such as Spain and Mexico, notaries, as public officials of the State and specialists in Law, are able to advise on resolving certain conflicts that arise between the parties without having to go to trial.

The culture plays a decisive paper in the conformation of the identity and education of the towns. In the constituent process of the Cuban nation it has been appreciated, the necessity of a culture seen as a production and a collective construction, in which tangible factors are conjugated or not. The Republic, complex stage of our history, was also a period of rich debate around the capacity of the culture like indispensable tool to consolidate the Cuban Nation. In this stage a denominated project arises the University of the Air that became favorable space to rescue the historical legacy of the Cuban town and to educate him from the civic and cultural perspective. One of the approached essential elements was the defense of the culture like element intimately associated to that of the political recovery. It was also insisted in the necessity of combatting the ignorance, of educating for the democratic exercise and of teaching civic values. It was incentivated the patriotism and the responsibility of each civic one and in particular of the new generations, in the defense of the values, the culture and history of their country. In essence it intended to consolidate the nation from the culture and from the most genuine in the History of Cuba.

The present study addresses the issue of consistency in the Ecuadorian criminal process, taking as a starting point the difficulties and theoretical debates that are still presented in the order of their practical application from the implementation of the accusatory system of prosecuting that Ecuador has adopted. Consistency, centered on the correlation between the accusation made by the prosecutor and the sentence handed down by the judge, constitutes a guarantee of impartiality of the judges and the exercise of the right to defense, which is part of due process and the right to be tried before a third party not committed to the investigation and prosecution. It was established as a general objective to determine the basic requirements so that the principle of congruence is considered fulfilled and as specific objectives, to identify the moment in which the object of the process is set and to evaluate the limits that are imposed on the judge as a result of the imputation correlation. judgment. Through the legal research methodology, it was possible to establish that consistency requires the coincidence between the facts of the accusation, as well as the legal qualifications imputed by the accuser and, on the other hand, it was determined that, although the accusation sets the object of the process, from the formulation of charges the defendant knows the facts from which he must defend himself and this content cannot be modified by the judge at any other subsequent procedural moment.

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: To discuss the strengths and limitations of ventilator-free days and to provide a comprehensive discussion of the different analytic methods for analyzing and interpreting this outcome. Methods: Using simulations, the power of different analytical methods was assessed, namely: quantile (median) regression, cumulative logistic regression, generalized pairwise comparison, conditional approach and truncated approach. Overall, 3,000 simulations of a two-arm trial with n = 300 per arm were computed using a two-sided alternative hypothesis and a type I error rate of α = 0.05. Results: When considering power, median regression did not perform well in studies where the treatment effect was mainly driven by mortality. Median regression performed better in situations with a weak effect on mortality but a strong effect on duration, duration only, and moderate mortality and duration. Cumulative logistic regression was found to produce similar power to the Wilcoxon rank-sum test across all scenarios, being the best strategy for the scenarios of moderate mortality and duration, weak mortality and strong duration, and duration only. Conclusion: In this study, we describe the relative power of new methods for analyzing ventilator-free days in critical care research. Our data provide validation and guidance for the use of the cumulative logistic model, median regression, generalized pairwise comparisons, and the conditional and truncated approach in specific scenarios.

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), also known as Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRS), represent a groundbreaking advancement in wireless communication technology, enabling unprecedented control over electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation. Composed of numerous passive or active elements constructed from metasurfaces, RIS can dynamically alter their electromagnetic responses to optimize signal reflection, refraction, and scattering. These elements, capable of manipulating the phase, amplitude, and polarization of incoming waves, are centrally controlled through sophisticated algorithms that adapt to real-time environmental changes and communication requirements. RIS technology promises significant improvements in wireless communication by extending coverage, enhancing signal quality, managing interference, boosting energy efficiency, and improving security. Additionally, RIS can facilitate precise localization and sensing applications. Despite the high initial implementation costs and the need for complex control mechanisms and infrastructure compatibility, the potential benefits of RIS in creating efficient, secure, and adaptive wireless communication environments underscore its transformative impact on the field.
