Regional Specificity of Social and Criminal Tensions in the Russian Federation
Authors: Mulik Aleksandr
Published: March 2019

Modern concepts of the environment impact on the biological and social status of human populations tend to focus on identifying persistent interracial differences in global geographical scales. Practically there is no knowledge about the mechanisms of the influence of the natural and anthropogenic environment of local territories on the behavioral characteristics of the population residing within their borders, including those causing the development of social and criminal tensions in society. The purpose of the study was to perform a comparative analysis of the severity of the standard indicators of social and criminal tensions in the regions of the Russian Federation taking into account the specific local territorial combinations of physical and geographical parameters of the human environment. At the first, theoretical stage of work, we formed a block of physics and geographical indicators of environmental quality and specified a list of indicators of social and criminal tensions in the territories endowed with a relatively typical set of discrete combinations of environmental factors characteristic of the Russian Federation. At the second stage of the survey, 1,471 people, men and women aged 18-28 years old, indigenous inhabitants of model regions of Russia were surveyed about the presence, degree and specificity of the manifestation of aggressiveness in their behavior as a factor in the development of social and criminal tensions in society. We assessed the degree of pro-sociality of respondents as well as the intensity of standard indicators of frustration, irritation and resentment. Our results obtained by the complex of studies performed indicate the possible influence on the formation of the social status of the population community, the northern latitude and eastern longitude of the place of residence, the level of the average annual temperature and longitude of the day in the winter season as well as the comfort of the human environment. Thus, systemic account of regional factors of the human environment can provide forecasting of the specifics and severity of the risk of social and criminal tensions in the society.
Dynamic Controllability of Controllable Conditional Temporal Problems with Uncertainty
Authors: Cui Jing , Haslum Patrik
Published: March 2019

Dynamic Controllability (DC) of a Simple Temporal Problem with Uncertainty (STPU) uses a dynamic decision strategy, rather than a fixed schedule, to tackle temporal uncertainty. We extend this concept to the Controllable Conditional Temporal Problem with Uncertainty (CCTPU), which extends the STPU by conditioning temporal constraints on the assignment of controllable discrete variables. We define dynamic controllability of a CCTPU as the existence of a strategy that decides on both the values of discrete choice variables and the scheduling of controllable time points dynamically. This contrasts with previous work, which made a static assignment of choice variables and dynamic decisions over time points only. We propose an algorithm to find such a fully dynamic strategy. The algorithm computes the "envelope" of outcomes of temporal uncertainty in which a particular assignment of discrete variables is feasible, and aggregates these over all choices. When an aggregated envelope covers all uncertain situations of the CCTPU, the problem is dynamically controllable. However, the algorithm is complete only under certain assumptions. Experiments on an existing set of CCTPU benchmarks show that there are cases in which making both discrete and temporal decisions dynamically it is feasible to satisfy the problem constraints while assigning the discrete variables statically it is not.
Taking the Future into Account: Today's Novels for Tomorrow's Readers
Authors: Bronstein Michaela
Published: March 2019

The idea of writing for the future often seems like a selfish act: a claim for personal immortality. Yet writing with future readers in mind also requires imagining the needs of a world radically different from our own. This paper examinesFuture Library,an artwork in which authors contribute writing that will not be read until 2114, and the fiction of David Mitchell, one of the contributing authors. In these works, writing for the future is political, not because it represents the future but because it simultaneously demands intervention in the present and opens itself to the new and to unexpected future uses.
On the Heels ofJuan Moreira:Lessons for the Cultural History of Reading
Authors: Acree William G.
Published: March 2019

Between November 1879 and January 1880, the argentine author Eduardo Gutierrez published a serialized narrative of the life of Juan Moreira in the Buenos Aires newspaperLa Patria Argentina.Titled simplyJuan Moreira,the heroic tale of the real-life outlaw went like this: Moreira was a good gaucho gone bad, who fought to preserve his honor against the backdrop of modernizing forces that were transforming life in this part of South America. His string of crimes and ultimate downfall resulted from his unjust persecution by corrupt state officials. The success of the serial surpassed all expectations. The paper's sales skyrocketed, and the melodramatic narrative soon appeared in book form. Enterprising printers produced tens of thousands of authorized and pirated editions to sell in the Rio de la Plata (Argentina and Uruguay), makingJuan Moreiraa leading example of everyday reading for the region's rapidly growing literate population and one of Latin America's pre-twentieth-century bestsellers (Acree,Everyday Reading;Gutiérrez,The Gaucho Juan Moreira).
That's Close Enough: The Unfinished History of Emotivism in Close Reading
Authors: Wolff Tristram
Published: March 2019

By giving a brief history of emotivism in close reading, this article offers a new context for understanding the contemporary uneasiness about close reading and about the proliferating array of alternative kinds of reading it has prompted. Emotivism refers to the subcurrent of linguistic thought that shaped the institutional formation of New Critical closeness by distinguishing propositional from emotive meaning. Instead of amending our closeness to texts by dispensing with critique, or focusing on surfaces and description to the exclusion of textual depth, either of which might inadvertently encourage new kinds of emotivism, this article suggests we bear in mind—as the conversation goes on—the mid-century counteremotivist critics, such as Kenneth Burke, who advocated a kind of reading attuned to the interactive processes held in apparent stasis by literary form.
Reading Minor Characters: An English Literary Society and Its Culture of Investigation
Authors: Reed Adam
Published: March 2019

This essay approaches the cultures of reading anthropologically, drawing on my ethnographic research with the Henry Williamson Society to excavate the ways readers enthusiastically commit to the minor characters of Williamson's novels. It places Alex Woloch's literary analysis of minor characterization in dialogue with the anthropological theory of “distributed agency” developed by Alfred Gell in order to examine the idea of the reader as someone who “gives” and may in turn “receive” attention. The essay asks whether it might be more helpful to conceive of readers’ activities as a form of reading without “culture”—whether plurality, if it must be invoked, might better be located in the dynamism of the reading person.
Mechanical properties of high-ductility cementitious composites with methyl silicone oil
Authors: Zhang Yunhua , Liu Zhiyi , Liu Zhichao , Yao Liping
Published: March 2019

Methyl silicone oil is used to precondition silica sand for the preparation of high-ductility cementitious composites. Its effect on their mechanical properties is investigated. Results indicate that the presence of methyl silicone oil significantly enhances the ductility (tensile strain capacity) of high-ductility cementitious composites while undermining their compressive and flexural strengths. The strain hardening behaviour, which is indicated by the slope of the linearised tensile stress–strain curve following the first cracking point, was found to be a maximum at 2% methyl silicone oil followed by a gradual decrease at a higher methyl silicone oil content. This behaviour can be explained by the interaction mechanism of methyl silicone oil on the matrix and fibre–matrix interface. Methyl silicone oil is found to improve the fibre distribution as a result of the oil presence on the fibre surface. Microscopic observation reveals that the fibre–matrix interface becomes porous through the presence of thin rod-like hydration products. This reduces the fibre bonding to the matrix that facilitates pullout but increases the post-pullout friction, which is beneficial in ductility improvement.
Learning French in the UK setting
Authors: Mitchell Rosamond , Myles Florence
Published: March 2019

Due to the contemporary dominance of English as global lingua franca, all other “foreign languages” face a number of challenges in formal education. This paper describes the recent evolution of policy and practice regarding foreign language education in England, with a particular focus on early language learning. Evidence from a classroom study of French as foreign language is used to illustrate primary school instructional practices and children’s engagement in this setting, and their learning outcomes. Conclusions are drawn concerning sustainable approaches to the teaching of languages other than English in the early school years, in an English-dominated linguistic landscape.
Teaching speaking
Authors: Pakula Heini-Marja
Published: March 2019

To be able to communicate fluently in a foreign language is the number one goal for many language learners. However, it seems that the teaching of oral skills in language classrooms does not have an important role. There are many reasons: the higher status of written language, teaching to the tests (of written language), teaching the textbook (with emphasis on written language), and lack of knowledge of how to teach speaking. The purpose of the article is to discuss the issue of how foreign language (FL) speaking can be taught based on 1) how speaking is learned and 2) how speaking proficiency is defined. More specifically, 1) How do learning theories translate into teaching speaking at classroom level? and 2) What is the significance of the current understanding of language proficiency as reflected in the models of communicative competence and the Common European Framework (Council of Europe, 2001) and its Companion Volume with New Descriptors (Council of Europe, 2018) to the teaching of speaking in formal foreign language contexts? On the basis of the theoretical and research reviews, some pedagogical implications and suggestions for research are provided. The pedagogical implications concern the teaching of fluency and formulaic sequences, the teaching of spoken grammar, the teaching of linguistic, sociolinguistic and pragmatic competences. Classroom applications of the sociocultural theory include pair and group work, communicative activities with opportunities for the negotiation of meaning, and creative spoken production. It is suggested that teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) be applied as a means to integrate theory with classroom applications. Suggestions for related research are provided.

Cooperación técnico-científica internacional en la construcción de redes de monitoreo atmosférico. El caso de Bogotá (1960-2016)/ International Technical-Scientific Cooperation in the Construction of Atmospheric Monitoring Networks. The Case of Bogotá
Authors: Ángel Macías Mauricio Alberto , Gallini Stefania
Published: March 2019

Las redes para el monitoreo de la calidad del aire en las ciudades se han posicionado como la tecnología útil para hacer seguimiento e intervenir sobre el peligro que trae consigo la contaminación atmosférica. La necesidad de hacer vigilancia atmosférica a escala global se ha fundamentado en la importancia de este problema ambiental para la salud pública, especialmente después de la segunda posguerra. La tecnología de monitoreo apareció en América Latina en los años sesenta, en un momento en el cual la contaminación del aire no suponía un problema mayor en la región. Aun así, se inició la vigilancia atmosférica, mediada por intereses económicos y políticos propios de las relaciones de poder internacionales características de este periodo. Este artículo toma como caso de estudio la ciudad de Bogotá, para explicar cómo las relaciones desequilibradas de poder entre países del primero y tercer mundo, y luego entre países desarrollados y en vías de desarrollo, condujeron a la creación de sistemas técnico científicos y redes de monitoreo atmosférico. Estas resultaron al principio más problemáticas que útiles, pero con el paso del tiempo se tornaron muy importantes para la vigilancia sanitaria y ambiental del territorio.

Abstract

Networks for air quality monitoring in cities have been positioned as useful technology to monitor and intervene on the danger posed by air pollution. The need to carry out global atmospheric monitoring has been based on the importance of this environmental problem to public health, especially after the second post war period. Monitoring technology appeared in Latin America in the 1960s, at a time when air pollution was not a major problem in the region. Even so, atmospheric surveillance was initiated, mediated by economic and political interests in the international power relations characteristic of this period. This article takes as a case study the city of Bogota, to explain how the unbalanced power relations between first and third world countries, and then between developed and developing countries, led to the creation of scientific technical systems and networks of atmospheric monitoring. These were at first more problematic than useful, but with the passage of time they became very important for the sanitary and environmental surveillance of the territory.

La productividad agrícola más allá del rendimiento por hectárea: análisis de los cultivos de arroz y maíz duro en Ecuador
Authors: Bonilla Bolaños Andrea Gabriela , Singaña Tapia David Alejandro
Published: March 2019

La presente investigación indaga sobre las consecuencias de implementar programas gubernamentales enfocados exclusivamente al incremento de la productividad agrícola mediante el uso de insumos químicos y semillas mejoradas – práctica propia a la llamada Revolución Verde. Así, se toma como caso de estudio al Plan Semillas de Alto Rendimiento (PSAR) con sus dos cultivos objetivo, a saber, el maíz duro y el arroz, durante los años 2014 y 2016, y se utiliza métodos econométricos, insumidos con información estadística provista por la Encuesta de Superficie y Producción Agropecuaria Continua (ESPAC), para proporcionar evidencia empírica que permita extender el debate sobre los efectos de la política pública ecuatoriana pro-productividad agrícola más allá del simple aumento de las toneladas producidas por hectárea. El énfasis es, por un lado, en la disyuntiva productividad-exclusión al considerar al PSAR como parte de un proceso de concentración indirecta de la tierra (Yumbla y Herrera, 2013) y, por otro lado, en la disyuntiva productividad-diversidad al considerar al PSAR como un potencial riesgo para la biodiversidad y, por tanto, para la soberanía alimentaria (Sarandón, 2002). Los resultados muestran no solo que el uso de insumos químicos y variedades mejoradas no garantiza el incremento la productividad agrícola sino también que el planteamiento unidimensional del objetivo de aumentar la producción por hectárea sembrada tiene secuelas en factores como: biodiversidad, concentración de la tierra, asociatividad y rol de la mujer.

Supplementary Data for Sex Differences in Cerebral Autoregulation is Unaffected by Menstrual Cycle Phase in Young, Healthy Women v1
Authors: Favre Michelle , Serrador Jorge
Published: March 2019

Sex is known to affect the prevalence of conditions such as stroke. However, effects of sex on cerebral blood flow regulation are still not well understood. Critical to this understanding is how fluctuations in hormones across the menstrual cycle affect cerebral autoregulation. We measured autoregulation in early follicular, late follicular, and mid-luteal phases during spontaneous and induced blood pressure oscillations in 26 (13 women) young (26 ± 4 years), healthy individuals. Men participated 3 times, ~1-3 weeks apart. Beat-by-beat blood pressure, heart rate, end-tidal CO2, and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography of the middle (MCA) and anterior (ACA) cerebral arteries were obtained. We did not find a difference in cerebral autoregulation across the menstrual cycle in women, but found significantly improved autoregulation in the MCA and ACA of women compared to men. Women demonstrated significantly lower MCA gain (0.97 ± 0.13 vs 1.17 ± 0.14 %/mmHg; p=0.001), higher MCA phase (46.1 ± 12.6 vs 35.8 ± 7.9°; p=0.019), and higher ACA phase (40.5 ± 10.8 vs 31.5 ± 8.5°; p=0.040) during repeated squat-to-stand maneuvers. Women also had lower MCA gain (1.50 ± 0.11 vs 1.72 ± 0.30 %/mmHg; p=0.029) during spontaneous fluctuations in pressure while standing, and less of a decrease in MCA flow velocity (-18.7 ± 2.7 vs -23.2 ± 6.0 %; p= 0.014) during sit-to-stand maneuvers. Our results suggest that young women have improved cerebral autoregulation compared to young men regardless of menstrual cycle phase and that autoregulation is relatively robust to acute fluctuations in female sex hormones.
Gobierno privado del oro en Colombia. El caso del municipio de Buriticá, Antioquia
Authors: Restrepo Parra Adrián Raúl , Martínez Márquez Wilmar
Published: March 2019

En el municipio de Buriticá (Antioquia-Colombia) está la mina de oro más importante del país. La exploración y la explotación de los recursos de esta mina a cargo de la empresa canadiense Continental Gold desataron un conflicto con distintos actores del territorio. En la dinámica del conflicto, la percepción según la cual en la actividad de la minería el Estado está “ausente” aparece como un aspecto recurrente. Este artículo controvierte tal percepción a partir de la teoría del gobierno indirecto privado. Este enfoque permite afirmar que el Estado, por medio de la descarga en privados y con la acción directa estatal, configura un ejercicio de poder político que consolida en un sector (minería) y en un territorio determinado (Buriticá) su presencia, su capacidad de dominación.
Pobreza y subdesarrollo rural en Colombia. Análisis desde la Teoría del Sesgo Urbano
Authors: López Muñoz Laura Vanessa
Published: March 2019

La pobreza en las zonas rurales ha sido una condición persistente a lo largo de la historia colombiana. Con el propósito de profundizar el entendimiento de las dinámicas que favorecen la perdurabilidad de esta situación, en este artículo se realiza un análisis del subdesarrollo rural en Colombia desde la perspectiva que ofrece la Teoría del Sesgo Urbano, propuesta por Michael Lipton en 1977. A partir de una revisión histórica, se ha encontrado que el detrimento de las zonas rurales del país se explica en gran medida por los procesos políticos y económicos que han sido impulsados por las élites urbanas para su beneficio y el desarrollo de las ciudades. Los resultados muestran bajos niveles en la provisión de servicios públicos para las poblaciones rurales, en comparación con los altos niveles registrados en las áreas urbanas. Se presenta, además, una interpretación del conflicto armado colombiano y de los flujos migratorios del campo a la ciudad como consecuencias agregadas y perpetuadores del sesgo urbano en Colombia.

Blend Gaps through Papers and Meetings? Collaboration between the Social Services and Jobcentres
Authors: Thedvall Renita
Published: March 2019

The policy word “collaboration” is a political buzzword omnipresent within human service organisations in Sweden and other countries. Collaboration stands for services working together toward a common goal. It is understood as the solution for a multitude of problems, putting the client at the centre and involving the services needed for making them financially self-sufficient. Public service collaboration assumes gaps between entities, whether they are organisations or professionals holding a particular kind of knowledge or available resources. Gaps are seen as omissions and pitfalls in activities which should be removed. My thesis is that putting the gap at the centre reveals not only the disjuncture of the gaps but also the productiveness of the gap in collaborative projects between organisations. The article demonstrates how documents and meetings work both as makers and blenders of gaps between social services and jobcentres. If gaps are productive spaces, what does it denote for collaboration between organisations? The article is placed ethnographically in documents and meetings set to enable collaboration between social workers and job coaches. I will focus on the gap, the space between documents and organisations, as productive spaces in collaborative projects.
Things Left Unwritten: Interview Accounts versus Institutional Texts in a Case of Detention Home Violence
Authors: Wästerfors David
Published: March 2019

To write about clients is an established routine in countless institutional settings, regardless of the fact that clients themselves seldom feel that the produced texts mirror or summarize their experiences. But what, more specifically, is left unwritten when staff starts typing on the keyboard to insert a piece of daily life into the computer? This article draws on data on violent events in Swedish detention homes, covering, on the one hand, interview accounts collected by ethnographic researchers and, on the other hand, formal journal reports on the “same” event written by staff. The analysis of one case exemplifies what written versions of a violent ward drama omit or transform: staff members’ “separation work” of the fighting actors and their local manufacturing of accountability, the involved actors’ conflict explanations in terms of ethnicity, gang culture, and “the first blow”, young people’s way of linking their self-control to the institution’s privilege system, and moral emotions as well as the significance of crucial details in the depicted course of events. The argument is not that staff should merely improve their routines of documenting events to really cover these or other facets of social life that are left behind at a detention home. Rather, the article attempts to explore why and in what sense institutional writing is incompatible with more informal, personal, and local accounting procedures.
Documenting Practices in Human Service Organisations through Information Systems: When the Quest for Visibility Ends in Darkness
Authors: Devlieghere Jochen , Roose Rudi
Published: March 2019

Over the last decades, transparency about what is happening on the ground has become a hot topic in the field of social work. Despite the importance of transparent social work, the realisation in practice is far from obvious. In order to create this transparency for a diversity of stakeholders, legislative bodies and human services increasingly rely on so-called electronic information systems. However, it remains unclear how frontline managers make use of these systems to create this transparent practice and which obstacles they might experience in doing so. Based on empirical data collected in Flanders (Belgium), we argue that frontline managers as well as practitioners, when confronted with the obligation to use electronic information systems to document their actions and create transparency, find a beneficial element in using such a tool for the purpose of transparency. However, we also argue that the idea of transparency through documenting human service practices by the use of electronic information systems seems to be nuanced, as tension or ambiguity occurs in daily practice. Our data show that many aspects of the service user’s life story become invisible because the documenting system is unable to grasp its complexity, resulting in a lack of transparency.
A construção do perfil acadêmico: relato de experiência de ensino na Licenciatura em Letras
Authors: Nascimento Antonio Naéliton do , Araújo Denise Lino de , Nascimento Maria Célia do
Published: March 2019

O processo de inserção de licenciandos num curso superior possui várias nuances que precisam ser levadas em consideração. Dentre estas, destacamos o convencimento do próprio graduando sobre a escolha feita pelo curso e profissão para a sua vida, bem como, as habilidades de leitura e escrita indispensáveis à inserção acadêmica. Considerando a formação de professores de Português e de Literatura, as disciplinas ofertadas aos alunos no curso de Letras da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande visam formá-los em diversos aspectos - didático, psicológico, filosófico, literário e linguístico, entre muitos outros -, além de inseri-los na vida acadêmica, demonstrando a viabilidade da profissão docente. Assim sendo, temos como objetivo neste texto relatar uma experiência de ensino vivenciada na licenciatura, na disciplina Fundamentos da Prática Educativa, ofertada no primeiro período do curso de Letras, na qual desenvolvemos um trabalho que visou tanto motivar os alunos para a docência como inseri-los na vida acadêmica. Como subsídios teóricos para fundamentar a experiência, apoiamo-nos nas contribuições de autores como Freire (1996), Sacristán (2005), Corrêa (2012), dentre outros. Como metodologia, optamos por atividades e tarefas reflexivas que levassem os alunos a aplicar os conceitos estudados nos textos fonte a situações práticas e retornassem à análise desses mesmos conceitos com base no observado e experienciado nas situações reais. Constatamos, por meio das atividades, que os alunos evoluíram de um perfil de reprodução de conceitos para um perfil de especialistas reflexivos, ainda em formação, demonstrado na construção de um Glossário Ilustrado sobre Formação Docente, que foi a atividade final da disciplina.
Docência universitária além da sala de aula: uma pesquisa-ação na disciplina Formação e Desenvolvimento de Coleções
Authors: Santa Anna Jorge
Published: March 2019

A prática docente constitui um conjunto de fazeres, cujos objetivos são proporcionar, primordialmente, o aprendizado. No âmbito da docência universitária, essa prática pode se tornar complexa, seja por adentrar-se às atividades de ensino, pesquisa e extensão, como também por contemplar as questões referentes à formação profissional do alunado. Este estudo parte do pressuposto de que a pesquisa, sobretudo quando realizada em campo, representa a principal alternativa para se proporcionar uma ação formativa adequada à realidade do mercado. Sendo assim, o presente artigo objetiva demonstrar as contribuições alcançadas a partir de procedimentos metodológicos, pautados na pesquisa, utilizados na disciplina de Formação e Desenvolvimento de Coleções, do curso de Biblioteconomia. O estudo se caracteriza como uma pesquisa descritiva, de natureza qualitativa e, ao mesmo tempo, uma pesquisa-ação, elaborada e conduzida de forma integrada entre alunos e professor. As técnicas formuladas para coleta de dados foram a observação e a entrevista, realizadas em diferentes bibliotecas, junto aos responsáveis pela formação do acervo informacional. A partir dos resultados, alunos e professor reconheceram a realidade do mercado, e, como consequência, elaboraram propostas de ação para melhoria das unidades visitadas, no intuito de estimular a elaboração de uma política de desenvolvimento de coleções, a qual contribuirá para padronizar e legitimar os processos de formar e desenvolver coleções. Com isso, constatou-se a viabilidade da técnica da pesquisa como elemento imprescindível a ser utilizado na docência universitária, capacitando os alunos a atuar de forma interventiva, haja vista melhorar a realidade das instituições e do fazer profissional.
Bildung: uma nebulosa na educação contemporânea
Authors: Kotz Leandro José
Published: March 2019

O presente artigo tematiza a compreensão de uma formação mais alargada na interface com a ética no cenário contemporâneo da educação. Parte-se do pressuposto de que a formação não é possível sem a ética, ao passo que, a formação pode potencializar nos indivíduos o discernimento ético. Entretanto, as propostas pedagógicas que se inspiram na Bildung (formação alargada) com uma interdependência na axiologia, podem de modo genérico, cair em uma armadilha do mercado globalizado. Destarte, é mister proceder uma crítica sem reservas às forças ideológicas que corrompem com o possiblidade de formar o humano de modo integral, denunciando a educação que prepara para funções específicas, dito de outro modo, para o mercado de trabalho. Por fim, cabe frisar que a Bildung corre o risco de degenerar-se em ideologia de mercado – se é que não se degenerou.

A Novel ZnO Nanoparticle as Drug Nanocarrier in Therapeutic applications: Kinetic Models and Error Analysis
Authors: Karakuş Selcan
Published: March 2019

Nanotechnology
provides promising possibilities for several biomedical and pharmaceutical  applications in
the medicine industry. Nanostructures play a major role in the recent
strategies of  technology suitable for novel
drug applications. In this work, clindamycin phosphate (CliP) (topical
anti-inflammatory drug), xanthan gum (XaG) (biopolymer) and ZnO (zinc oxide) (nanoparticle)
nanostructures were synthesised using the sonochemical technique at room
temperature. The characterization of the clindamycin phosphate- xanthan gum/ZnO
(CliP-XaG/ZnO) nanostructure has been carried out by Fourier transform infrared
(FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The spectroscopic experiments elucidated in
vitro the mechanism of drug delivery system at different pH media (1.2 and 7.4).
In this study, the concentration of drug in the solution was analyzed by UV–vis
spectroscopy method and several kinetic models and error analysis were
calculated to prove a connection with results. The Higuchi model had the best
correlation parameters. The percentage of swelling

Santos: una diplomacia tradicional con cambios
Authors: Ardila Martha , Clemente Batalla Isabel
Published: March 2019

Este artículo aporta una nueva perspectiva al análisis de la política exterior de Colombia que trasciende la tradicional dicotomía entre respice polum y respice similia con un estudio sobre la política exterior de los gobiernos Santos, que examina los arreglos pragmáticos entre anti­guas y nuevas agendas y el proceso de toma de decisiones. Con base en fuentes secundarias y primarias tales como declaraciones presiden­ciales, artículos de prensa y documentos oficia­les, y una metodología ecléctica que combina diferentes enfoques conceptuales, el análisis destaca las conexiones entre áreas de políticas internas y externas, una búsqueda de inser­ción internacional más positiva de Colombia mediante nuevas dinámicas de relaciones con países asiáticos y presencia de alto perfil en foros internacionales. Temas centrales de análisis son la internacionalización del proceso de paz, la reformulación de relaciones con Latinoaméri­ca, el regreso al multilateralismo, la coopera­ción Sur-Sur y el surgimiento de nuevos actores con el rol creciente de la paradiplomacia.

Authors: Polo Alvis Sebastián , Serrano López Enrique , Cardozo Beltrán Katherine
Published: March 2019

El propósito central de este trabajo consiste en demostrar cómo el marco institucional y económico del Estado ecuatoriano ha gene­rado garantías para que la población colom­biana migre hacia este país y para que, sobre todo, se genere una transición del estatus de los refugiados colombianos en pro de su vin­culación socioeconómica en Ecuador. Ante la creciente relevancia de la población refugiada colombiana en Ecuador durante la última década, desarrollada paralelamente con un crecimiento de la población migrante regular, es de gran importancia el abordaje de este tema como un elemento crucial para la comprensión de las migraciones hacia Ecuador. Mediante un ejercicio comparativo entre el desarrollo de las migraciones regulares con las poblacio­nes refugiadas, este trabajo busca estudiar la consolidación de una política de Estado en Ecuador en el marco de un análisis histórico y económico de este fenómeno

Business Ethics in Adam Smith’s works
Authors: Zabieglik Stefan
Published: March 2019

This paper presents some views of Adam Smith based on some selected problems of business ethics. These can be found in his famous works—The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations—and in his lectures at the Glasgow University, where he was a professor of moral philosophy in 1752–1764. The main argument of the paper is that ethical problems (presented mainly in The Theory of Moral Sentiments) are also present in his political economy, which contradicts some neoliberal interpretations of his works as ones of the “intellectual father of capitalism”. In The Wealth of Nations, Smith criticizes each social class because of the fact that its interests are incompatible with the good of the whole society. He condemned the monopolist efforts of the traders and entrepreneurs, described some property owners as “vain egoists” and advanced the interests of the poor. He maintained that the interests of the traders should be supported when these were compatible with the interest of the consumers. The desire for possession and wealth should be analyzed from the social point of view: It is good when it contributes to the common good and the reproduction of humankind.
Economic process as institutionalization of values. Karl Polanyi’s institutional theory and its ethical consequences
Authors: Kassner Maciej
Published: March 2019

This article is devoted to a critical reconstruction of Karl Polanyi’s institutional theory and its ethical consequences. Starting with the distinction between the formal (neoclassical) and the substantive (institutional) understanding of the economy, the article proceeds to discuss the main forms of institutional integration of economic life described by Polanyi: reciprocity (symmetry), redistribution (centricity), and exchange (market). In this context, the author examines the connection between the work of Karl Polanyi and the economic anthropology represented by the works of Richard Thurnwald and Bronisław Malinowski. The author argues that three main forms of institutional integration of economic life introduced by Karl Polanyi can be interpreted both as analytical tools to describe institutions and as a grand scheme for the classification of different economic systems. The next section of the article is devoted to a comparison between the institutional theories of Douglass North and Karl Polanyi. For North, the main explanatory category is the idea of transaction costs, whereas for Polanyi the key idea is that of the social embeddedness of the economy. When speaking about the social embeddedness of the economy, Polanyi draws our attention to the inseparable bonds which exist between economic institutions on the one hand, and culture, social structure and politics on the other. This theoretical difference between North and Polanyi, the author argues, has important ethical consequences. If Polanyi is right, then institutions are not only alternative solutions to a certain economic problem (i.e. the efficient allocation of resources, the reduction of transaction costs) but above all they are the embodiment of different conceptions of a good life. In conclusion, the author emphasizes the political dimension of Karl Polanyi’s institutional theory, along with its intriguing promise of liberating our social and political life from the economistic fallacy, that is, from the unfortunate tendency to think about society in market terms.

As the primary needs of human being, food we consume must be halal and good as prescribed by Muslim law which is explicitly stated in Quran and Hadith. Deciding the food is halal or not can be detected from its benefit and disadvantage, and also from its processing. The development of food industry has brought better change both qualitatively and quantitatively on the food. This caused a significant improvement on food ingredients such as preservative and texture of the food. The consumer needs fresh, cheap, and easy-serving as the consequence of practical life. The high demand on economic interest and the complexity of food causes the increase of chemical substance as the preservative, such as formalin.

Therefore, the idea of back to nature which promotes the optimal use of natural food must be highly recommended. This can, physiologically, be received easily into our body.
