Published: June 2023

Ascorbic acid, also called Vitamin C, is an antioxidant molecule present in both animals as well as in plants. It acts as a redox buffer, reducing reactive oxygen species and neutralising them. It's a cofactor for enzymes that control photosynthesis, hormone manufacturing, and the regeneration of other cells. Antioxidants control cell division and growth, participate in signal transduction, and have a function in a variety of physiological processes, including immunological activation. Collagen manufacture, hormones, neurotransmitters, and iron absorption are all important. Vit C deficiency leads to scurvy and its low concentration raises susceptibility to infections, loosening of teeth, dry mouth, as well as eyes, loss of hair, itching of skin, and so on. Insomnia and weariness Vitamin C, on the other hand, can serve as a pro-oxidant, especially in the skin. The transition metals, such as copper, iron, etc., trigger a variety of dangerous radical reactions. Vit C is a powerful, effective, low-cost antioxidant and is used as a radical booster at the same time. Additional research is required to explain the dual role of vitamin C.

TRENDS IN OIL EXPORTS TO IRAQ AND OPPORTUNITIES TO DIVERSIFY THEM IN LIGHT OF THE REPERCUSSIONS OF THE (RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN) WAR
Authors: MUSTAFA LAFTA BADR AL-JAYASHI et al.
Published: June 2023

Iraqi oil has a great opportunity to diversify its purchase by countries consuming Russian crude oil, if Iraq can take advantage of the opportunity to develop its oil industry and increase export outlets, as Iraq can meet the demand from countries consuming crude oil because of its huge reserves and low production costs. The study concluded that it is expected that a state of instability will occur in the global oil markets due to the US and European sanctions on Russian oil exports, which creates a state of uncertainty. destined for the Asian markets, but it is possible for Iraq to avoid these negative effects if it works to conclude long-term oil agreements with countries that import crude oil, especially with India and China. It also recommended the need to develop the Iraqi oil fleet and to develop its staff working on it.

GOLD RECOVERY BY A PROPOSED HEAP LEACHING METHOD, CASE STUDY PIQUE MINE, PORTOVELO – ECUADOR
Authors: CUESTA ANDRADE GREGORY GUILLERMO et al.
Published: June 2023

The objective of this study is to analyze the operational feasibility of gold recovery by the heap leaching method - cyanidation, carried out at the benefit plant that processes minerals from the Pique mine, located in the El Tablón sector of the Portovelo canton in the province of El Oro – case study. For this purpose, elemental and metallurgical analysis tests are used, along with technical feasibility tests through cyanidation tests in bottles and leach column. From the bottle test, a 94.4% metallic recovery of gold was obtained as a result, and 90.88% of the column test at a cyanide concentration of 800 ppm for both cases. To reach these results, this method does not require a prior comminution process since the required granulometry is adequate from the removal of the rock material carried out in blasting, it is not necessary for specialized labor to control reagents, it has low energy consumption and requires little water, which considerably reduces production costs. Leaching minerals extracted from the Pique mine, which have associated precious metals, is technically feasible, since the heap leaching method favors the extraction of elements such as gold, regardless of whether these are low-grade minerals where economic resources could be scarce. For the complete implementation of the process, additional highly technical chemical studies are recommended, as well as to specify the dimensioning of the leaching pile and the irrigation system.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIGHER EDUCATION AND THE DEMANDS OF THE LABOR MARKET
Authors: LIGIA MARICELA NIAMA RIVERA et al.
Published: June 2023

In a social context, in which immediate actions are demanded from higher education that contribute to improving the living conditions of the population, but with an academy that barely responds to the needs of the population, intentionally isolating itself from reality, it is necessary make a substantial effort to evaluate the relationship between higher education and the demands of the labor market,  trying to decipher in this way what has been the contribution of ESPOCH, as an institution of higher education, to productive development in an environment that, due to its sociopolitical situation, is highly conflictive. For this, a research with a qualitative, descriptive and correlational approach was proposed, an open survey was applied, via online, to which 89 graduates from seven faculties responded, the instrument was validated with Crombach's Alpha. The data obtained was correlated using the Chi square statistic, based on several indicators, such as gender, the faculty of origin of the graduates, the time of graduation, the time of existence of the business, the affinity of the business with the career, the way in which the entrepreneurship was carried out, the support of the professional title and the generation of employment. In general, it was possible to establish that there is no statistically significant correlation between aspects related to academic training and the labor market. It was also concluded that the evaluation of graduates is carried out in compliance with a formalism and that a real commitment is required from the academy with its graduates to promote a productive development process in which real synergies are generated between the most emerging needs of the population and the educational scope of higher education.

Reformas constitucionales: Elaborar, romper y cambiar constituciones
Authors:   The University of Texas at Austin, Albert Richard
Published: June 2023

Reformas Constitucionales: Elaborar, romper y cambiar constituciones, ofrece una hoja de ruta para navegar en el universo intelectual de las reformas constitucionales, así como un plano para diseñar y mejorar las reglas de cambio constitucional. A la luz de docenas de constitu- ciones de todas las regiones del mundo, este libro mezcla la teoría y la práctica con el fin de responder dos preguntas de la mayor importancia: ¿qué es una reforma? y ¿cómo deberían los arquitectos constitucionales estructurar os procedimientos de cambio constitucional? El primer interrogate es más importante ahora que en el pasado. Los reformadores explotan las reglas de reforma constitucional, ponen a prueba los límites jurídicos de la reforma, socavan las normas de gobernanza democrática y esquivan la constitución escrita para crear constituciones integralmente nuevas que se hacen pasar como simples reformas constitucionales ordinarias. La segunda pregunta es clave frente al desempeño y a la resiliencia de las constituciones. Los arqui- tectos constitucionales, hoy en día, no tienen casi que ningún recurso a la mano que pueda guiarlos al momento de construir las reglas de reforma constitucional, mientras que los académicos no tienen un pano- rama claro de la importancia de las reglas de reforma en el proyecto del constitucionalismo. Este libro muestra que ninguna otra parte de la constitución es más importante que los procedimientos que se utilizan para modificarla. Las reglas de reforma abren una ventana que permite ver el alma de una constitución y exponen sus vulnerabilidades más profundas, así como sus fortalezas más grandes, La codificación de las reglas de reforma, a menudo al final del texto constitucional, demuestra que no siempre lo último es lo menos importante.
Are Differences in Empathy Age-Related?
Authors: Paulus Christoph M.
Published: June 2023

In this study we wanted to show how different the mean values of the four empathy components Empathic Concern, Perspective Taking, Fantasy, and Personal Distress are in a total of 7 age groups between 15 and over 60 years old. Using questionnaire data from the German version of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index of a total of 9 156 subjects, we were able to show that, with the exception of the variable Fantasy, the youngest group in particular consistently exhibited the weakest expressions, and although the respective mean values differed significantly in some cases, the deviations were very small. Thus, we refute the assumption that empathy decreases with increasing age and were able to show that especially the affective components show a high stability. Finally, we advise against the formation of a total score on empathy because of the unclear diagnostic interpretability.
Dynamic Response of Economic Growth to Financial Development and Information and Communication Technology in Sub-Saharan Africa Countries
Authors: Olabisi Olabode Eric
Published: June 2023

The aims of this research work are to test the dynamic response of economic growth to financial development and information and communication technology (ICT), and to investigate whether the interaction of financial development with better ICT infrastructure can promote economic growth. Growth theories predict that financial development and ICT positively influence economic growth, but the results are mixed. Therefore, the current study examines the dynamic response of economic growth to financial development and information and communication technology (ICT) for eight selected sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries covering 2000–2021. Applying pooled mean groups and mean group estimators, the findings reveal that ICT enhances growth in SSA, but financial development is otherwise. The result further shows that with the interaction of ICT with financial development, economic growth is positively influenced. Since the region is still undergoing development, it is suggested that there should be more investment in the ICT infrastructure.
Integrált rehabilitációs ellátás I. – hazai előzmények, erősségek, gyengeségek

Published: June 2023

A rehabilitációs ellátás hazánkban jellemzően kórházakban történik. A rehabilitációban tevékenykedő szakemberekskollégák évtizedekkel ezelőtt felismerték, hogy a társadalom idősödése, a krónikus egészségi állapotok gyakoribbá válása miatt a szükségletek ilyen módon nem lesznek kielégíthetők. Kísérleti lakóközösségi rehabilitációs programokat indítottak. Jelentős tapasztalat a közösségi pszichiátria területén alakult ki. Az Egészségügyi Szakmai Kollégium Rehabilitációs Tagozata és Tanácsa Rehabilitációs Ellátási Programokat fejlesztett, amelyek az optimális betegutakat bemutatják. Az ezekkel kapcsolatos bizonyítékokat szakkönyv foglalja össze. Az egészségügyi ellátás reformja aktualitást ad az eddigi tapasztalatok feldolgozásának, a rendelkezésre álló erőforrások, valamint a közösségi rehabilitációs programok fejlesztését támogató, illetve akadályozó tényezők számbavételének. A Rehabilitációs Ellátási Programok fejlesztése többszöri tesztelési fázis alapján készült el, a betegutak mellett a szakmai elvárásokat és az eredményesség felmérésére ajánlott módszereket is tartalmazzák. A jelen helyzet adatainak bemutatása az Országos Statisztikai Adatgyűjtési Program, illetve a Nemzeti Egészségbiztosítás Alapkezelő adatai alapján történik. Ezekben az ellátás területi egyenetlensége és a fekvőbeteg ellátás dominanciája látszik. A rehabilitációs képzésben az utóbbi időben kedvező változások történtek. A közösségi rehabilitáció fejlesztésében felhasználhatók a praxisközösségi modellprogramok eredményei, a kommunikációt jól támogathatja az Egészségügyi Elektronikus Szolgáltatói Tér. Jelen tanulmány korlátja, hogy nem sikerült teljeskörű adatokat gyűjteni. Az érintett lakosság preferenciái sem ismertek. Következtetésként megállapítható az elmagányosodás növekedése, a szociális ellátórendszer átalakulása, mind a vertikális, mind a horizontális integráció szükségessége és a háziorvos kapuőri szerepének javítása, amihez célzott edukációs programok is szükségesek.
Church Followership and Power
Authors: Lilleaasen Robert
Published: June 2023

This article investigates followers’ influence on the leadership process in congregations. A working hypothesis is that in church, people without formal leadership roles have considerable power. The main question in this article asks: What are characteristics of follower influence on the leadership process in local congregations? The article is a theoretical discussion of the problem guided by three questions: How are followers influencing leadership? What is a follower in church? What characterizes the leadership process in congregations? The theoretical perspectives applied in the first part are on followership and upward influence, seeking to understand how followers exercise influence. The second part of the article asks what a follower in the church is and what characterizes the leadership process in congregations. I have identified three characteristics relevant to the leader-follower relationship in congregations, i.e., voluntarism, an egalitarian push, and a commitment to theological values and purposes. These characteristics I have structured as organizational, cultural, and theological. In the discussion, I have related these identified characteristics of congregations to the theories of how followers influence leaders. The findings in the discussions suggest that the identified characteristics of congregations increase follower influence on the leadership process.

Fin y Finalidad. Dos miradas sobre el fin del mundo
Authors: O’Reilly Francisco
Published: June 2023

Durante mucho tiempo el cosmos se entendió como algo eterno. Las tradiciones Abrahamicas trajeron al debate no solo la idea de creación sino también la idea de fin del mundo, eschaton,  sin embargo, nadie sabía el día ni la hora. Durante el proceso de secularización, esta promesa que encontramos en el Apocalipsis tiene impacto en el discurso político fomentando una perspectiva optimista sobre el futuro. Sin embargo, durante el siglo XX la física y la astronomía descubren que el cosmos no podrá seguir alojando más vida en le futuro, y esto fue visto por varios autores como una confirmación de que la vida no tiene sentido. Sin embargo, prestando mayora atención a la relación entre la idea de eschaton y telos podemos comprender que existe una diferencia entre ambas nociones. A pesar de que la Astronomía afirme que en un futuro lejano habrá un fin, ¿es esta la última respuesta a la pregunta por el sentido de la vida? Este artículo es una aproximación a la distinción entre sentido de la idea de fin dado por la cosmología y el sentido de fin que encontramos en la filosofía.

Aunque irreductibles entre sí, los actos del entendimiento y de la voluntad constituyen el dinamismo operativo propio del viviente racional. Ahora bien, al estudiar la relación o interacción entre ambas potencias, se suele decir que el entendimiento tiene prioridad en cuanto a la especificación de la voluntad, mientras que la voluntad lo tiene con respecto al ejercicio. En este artículo, sin embargo, quisiéramos invertir el problema y analizar, desde principios tomasianos, en qué sentido se podría decir que el ejercicio de la voluntad depende del entendimiento, por una parte, y cómo puede la inclinación afectar el conocimiento de un objeto.
L’adonné (el adonado) según Marion: el sujeto que se recibe de lo dado
Authors: Di Giacomo Mario
Published: June 2023

En este artículo se analiza la noción de fenómeno saturado en el pensamiento de Marion, pero, ante todo, y relacionado con dicho fenómeno, el tipo de sujeto que corresponde a la afectación saturante. La discusión se centra en la superación de la figura del Yo trascendental, y de la Modernidad en general, para dar lugar a un sujeto disminuido, a una diminutio ipseitatis, debida fundamentalmente a una iniciativa que, alega Marion, no proviene tanto del sujeto afectado, cuanto del fenómeno que lo afecta. Desalojado de su formidable centro, el sujeto kenotizado emprende una clase de recreación bastante peculiar, la cual consiste en el conjunto de respuestas que habrá de ofrecer a la densidad del fenómeno mencionado. El sujeto se recibe de lo que recibe. En una hermenéutica sucesiva que retoma la afectación, tendrá que hacerse cargo del golpe de lo dado, es decir, de aquello que lo afecta, pero no exactamente de la manera como afectan los objetos a un sujeto cognoscente. A la pregunta de Nancy “¿qué viene después del sujeto?”, hay que responder sin ninguna hesitación: el sujeto, empero ahora disminuido en su capacidad creadora de mundo a través de la síntesis trascendental: l’adonné, el adonado.
Il Dio di Aristotele come “centrale elettrica della natura”
Authors: Gallo Francesco Luigi
Published: June 2023

In questo contributo vengono indagati alcuni concetti della teologia aristotelica (il concetto di divino e quello di trascendenza) a partire da un’espressione emblematica utilizzata dallo storico francese Étienne Gilson per descrivere il Primo Motore Immobile aristotelico: “centrale elettrica della natura”. L’espressione del noto studioso non è soltanto particolarmente accattivante, ma risulta essere filosoficamente assai significativa poiché veicola perfettamente il significato che assume il Dio di Aristotele nell’economia complessiva del cosmo, più in particolare nel ciclo eterno delle corruzioni e delle generazioni. La ricostruzione storica è finalizzata a mostrare la novità del messaggio cristiano contenuto nella Rivelazione e che trova nelle pagine di Tommaso d’Aquino una chiarezza concettuale, filosofico-metafisica, di eccezionale valore. In esse è possibile osservare la piena maturazione della nuova visione di tipo creazionista (basata sulla Metafisica dell’Esodo 3,14) che, pur in continuità con la visione aristotelica, ne approfondisce smisuratamente i presupposti metafisici.

Authors: Cebotari Irina
Published: June 2023

The banking system is a coherent set of banking institutions, operating in a country, responding to the needs of a stage of socio-economic development. It is a booming field and involves in its development the entire economy. In this paper, I analyzed the performance and competitiveness of the banking system in the Republic of Moldova through the analysis of the number and volume of loans granted and deposits attracted. I also studied the profit and loss situation of the banks during the two years of the pandemic. Moreover, I evaluated the satisfaction of consumers of banking services, and I established the top 4 banks based on their performance. Consequently, due to the fact that banks compete with one another, they have to offer great services for their clients - otherwise individuals will change to another, better, bank. This makes banks more effective and productive, which is good for the economy.
