Ecologismo y desarrollo: dilemas de los progresismos latinoamericanos
Authors: Cabaña Gabriela
Published: April 2024

América Latina se encuentra en medio de un nuevo ciclo de gobiernos progresistas, que se enfrentan a un escenario de crisis ecológica cada vez más agudo. Este artículo analiza algunos de los dilemas clave que han renovado la falsa oposición entre el cuidado de la vida y la economía en la región. Tomando las políticas energéticas como foco, propone que las propuestas y estrategias de acción climática han venido a reforzar las dinámicas extractivistas históricas. Las nuevas fronteras de extracción del litio y los sueños eldoradistas del hidrógeno verde ejemplifican las miradas predominantes que sostienen la promesa del desarrollo “verde” latinoamericano. Sin embargo, las alternativas desde los territorios y movimientos sociales se resisten a este uso instrumental de sus ecosistemas, y siguen cultivando alternativas al desarrollismo.
Human-centric deposit policy of banks
Authors: Продолятченко П.А.
Published: April 2024

В статье рассматриваются вопросы мобилизации финансовых ресурсов для растущих потребностей экономики, необходимости ликвидации дефицита привлеченных средств отечественных банковских структур, трансформации депозитной политики банков, эволюция данного процесса, раскрывается содержание модели человекоцентричности, депозитного направления деятельности кредитных организаций. Подчеркивается значимость изменения подходов и приемов взаимодействия кредитных организаций с владельцами денежных средств в целях обеспечения непрерывности и возрастания масштабов депозитного финансирования банковского бизнеса и создания долгосрочной устойчивой депозитной базы, отвечающей потребностям времени. Обращается внимание на формирование модели человекоцентричности депозитной политики банка в рамках развития клиентоориентированного подхода в деятельности кредитных организаций. Клиентоцентричность рассматривается прежде всего как новая бизнес-модель депозитной деятельности банка, направленная на установление устойчивых связей со сберегателями, развитие у них потребности в депозитном участии в банковском бизнесе, совместном удовлетворении потребностей от обладания финансовыми ресурсами. Кредитным организациям (в частности, ПАО «Сбербанк») предлагаются актуальные, по мнению автора, направления развития человекоцентричности в отношении отдельных категорий граждан, основанные на усилении персонального банковского депозитного менеджмента и отказе от принципа публичности в депозитовании.

The article discusses the issues of mobilizing financial resources for the growing needs of the economy, the need to eliminate the deficit of attracted funds of domestic banking structures, the transformation of the deposit policy of banks, the evolution of this process, and reveals the content of the human-centricity model, the deposit direction of the activities of credit institutions. The importance of changing approaches and methods of interaction between credit institutions and owners of funds is emphasized in order to ensure continuity and increase in the scale of deposit financing of the banking business and create a long-term stable deposit base that meets the needs of the time. Attention is drawn to the formation of a human-centric model of the bank's deposit policy as part of the development of a client-oriented approach in the activities of credit institutions. Customer-centricity is considered primarily as a new business model for the bank’s deposit activities, aimed at establishing stable relationships with savers, developing their need for deposit participation in the banking business, and jointly satisfying the needs of possessing financial resources. Credit institutions (in particular PJSC Sberbank) are offered current, in the author’s opinion, directions for the development of human-centricity in relation to certain categories of citizens, based on strengthening personal bank deposit management and abandoning the principle of publicity in depositing.

Marketing strategies of regional expansion of trade systems as a factor of transformation of the competitive environment of the consumer market
Authors: Чеглов В.П. , Столярова А.Н.
Published: April 2024

Настоящая статья посвящена институциональным стратегиям региональной экспансии крупных российских торговых систем в условиях перманентного экономического кризиса, описывает происходящую в стране трансформацию торговой сферы, изменение конкурентной среды, влияние происходящих процессов на макро- и микроэкономику. Подробно рассмотрены плюсы и минусы реализации торговыми системами стратегий ускоренного территориального развития, сокращения вложений в основные средства, смешения форматных требований, сокращения и максимальной оптимизации ассортимента, замены собственными торговыми марками товарных брендов, применения технологии обратного франчайзинга в приращении бизнеса. Показана позиция государства по отношению к консолидации торговой инфраструктуры, противоречивый характер ожидаемых в среднесрочной перспективе результатов трансформации торговой сферы. Согласно авторской позиции, государство строит управляемую и консолидированную в частных руках торговую инфраструктуру (экосистему будущего), пренебрегая риском сокращения поддержки со стороны предпринимательского слоя, как своей опоры, а потребители получают жестко дифференцированное по покупательской способности товарное предложение и ограничение в выборе каналов удовлетворения потребностей.

This article is devoted to institutional strategies for the regional expansion of large Russian trading systems in the context of a permanent economic crisis, describes the transformation of the trade sphere taking place in the country, changes in the competitive environment, and the impact of ongoing processes on macro- and microeconomics. The pros and cons of implementing strategies for accelerated territorial development by trading systems, reducing investments in fixed assets, mixing format requirements, reducing and maximizing assortment optimization, replacing product brands with their own trademarks, and using reverse franchising technology in business increment are considered in detail. The article shows the position of the state in relation to the consolidation of trade infrastructure, the contradictory nature of the expected results of the transformation of the trade sphere in the medium term. According to the author's position, the state is building a managed and consolidated commercial infrastructure (ecosystem of the future) in private hands, neglecting the risk of reducing support from the entrepreneurial layer as its support, and consumers receive a strictly differentiated product offer in terms of purchasing power and a restriction in the choice of channels to meet needs.
Technological Bodies: Artificial Intelligence as Friday in Portal and Halo Infinite
Authors: Faber Sarah
Published: April 2024

Artificial intelligence characters provide a unique perspective on the discussion of Friday figures and issues of Otherness and Othering as they relate to the body. With their technological, inherently inhuman physicality, AI Fridays shed light on the differentiation between ‘being human’ as an inner state of being, on the one hand, and as having a biologically human body, on the other. These characters thus shift some of the central questions about culture in many Robinsonades towards questions of humanity and physical identity, especially when reading the AI body as a metaphorical stand-in for the colonised body. They reflect on the question of how far our bodies determine who we are, how they relate to and are shaped by the groups we belong to, and what it means to be human.
Grace, the Body, and the Aesthetic in J. M. Coetzee’s Foe
Authors: Kelly Michelle
Published: April 2024

This essay revisits J. M. Coetzee’s representation of Friday’s body in his 1986 novel Foe in the context of his long-standing interest in the idea of grace. Through a reading of Friday’s dancing in Foe, I argue that Coetzee’s representation of Friday consistently invokes grace as a physical and aesthetic concept, rather than the theological emphasis that has prevailed in critical discussions to date. The reading is amplified by evidence from the Coetzee Papers at the Harry Ransom Center, which points towards Coetzee’s engagement in the early 1980s with the work of German writer Heinrich von Kleist and his ‘On the Puppet Theatre’. I draw on contemporary scholarship that revisits aesthetic theory, the backdrop for Kleist’s dialogue, in the context of the transatlantic slave trade in order to understand the implications of Coetzee’s use of the figure of the puppet and the significance of grace as an aesthetic concept for his novel.
Hipertensión arterial y funcionamiento renal: aspectos clínicos fundamentales
Authors:   , Galpern Aída
Published: April 2024

La hipertensión arterial es una de las afecciones más frecuentes de la patología y de las que tienen un cuadro clínico más proteiforme; desde el simple síntoma de múltiples enfermedades adquiere toda la importancia de una entidad nosológica en la llamada hipertensión esencial con una riqueza sintomatológica tal que abarca casi todos los órganos y con una frecuencia mucho mayor que la hipertensión secundaria. Cuando la hipertensión, sea secundaria o esencial, sigue un curso crónico, provoca lesiones irreversibles consistentes en esclerosis arteriolar progresiva que se manifiesta con una rica sintomatología, sobre todo en cuatro sectores del organismo: Corazón, Riñón, cerebro y fondo de Ojo. Son estos cuatro sectores especialmente los que deben estudiarse en todo hipertenso a los fines de diagnóstico, en búsqueda de la probable etiología, si la hay, y a los fines de pronóstico para saber el grado de evolución del proceso. No es exagerado afirmar que el riñón tiene el papel primordial en lo que a etiología, sintomatología, evolución y pronóstico de la hipertensión se refieren. Fuera de la hipertensión nefrógena bien evidente, hoy en día hay una fuerte corriente de imputar también a 1a hipertensión esencial un origen renal, en base a las celebres experiencias de Goldblatt sobre la importancia de la isquemia renal en la producción de hipertensión; pero ello no está aún demostrado. E1 funcionamiento renal en la hipertensión es de un gran valor pronóstico y a tales fines se ha dividido la insuficiencia renal en tres grados, el último de los cuales (junto con el síndrome de la hipertensión endocraneana) a una forma de hipertensión rápidamente mortal y que es el estadio terminal de muchos casos de hipertensión esencial y nefrógena; nos referimos a la hipertonía maligna. De ahí la importancia del estudio de la hipertensión esencial conjuntamente con el funcionamiento renal. Mete trabajo que es de síntesis, tiene especialmente dicho objeto; a más de un estudio esquemático sobre la clínica de la hipertensión.

Este documento presenta la primera estimación de los efectos del éxodo venezolano sobre el aprendizaje de los estudiantes colombianos. Para identificar este efecto se utiliza la reapertura de fronteras entre Colombia y Venezuela de 2016 como experimento natural y se propone un diseño de diferencias en diferencias. Encuentro que los nativos que están finalizando la secundaria tienen una mejora promedio de rendimiento de 4% de un desvío estándar. Este efecto positivo es algo mayor para los colombianos con rendimientos altos y no existen diferencias según el nivel educativo de las madres y el género de los nativos.
Differences in Reading Screening Accuracy by Percentile Cutoff and English Proficiency: Feature Selection and Group-wise Prediction Evaluation

Published: April 2024

This exploratory predictive study investigates our capacity to predict risk of developing reading difficulties based on a battery of tasks tapping into commonly used reading screening constructs. A key question pertains to the extent to which we can predict fairly and with equal accuracy for native English-speakers (EO) and emerging multilinguals (English learners [ELs] with sufficient English-proficiency to participate in English screening). This prediction exercise takes place in a linguistically diverse sample, over different prediction intervals (end of same and subsequent academic year), and across a range of percentile cut-offs (1st-25th) defining reading difficulty.Specifically, using a sample of 1,692 kindergarteners and first-graders from 24 schools across 13 Californian public school districts, we (a) identified the most important reading screening tasks for a range of percentile cut-offs defining ‘risk’ using random forest feature selection; (b) built a series of logisitic regression classifiers; and (c) evaluated these models’ performances for ELs and EO students spearately. When risk is defined as performance below the tenth percentile or higher, the same tasks generally surface as most important predictors of later word reading difficulty (letter naming and sounds for kindergarten; word and non-word reading for first graders), though with different relative importance for EO vs EL students and for the different prediction intervals. Though most models can be optimised to exceed sensitivity and specificity values of .80, classification accuracy is higher for EO students, especially for two-year predictions. Though models meeting conventionally used minimum accuracy requirements for both the EO and EL groups can be produced, more work is needed to achieve truly linguistically equitable (i.e., equally accurate) screening. We discuss the implications and feasibility of universal reading screening using English screening tasks in linguistically diverse populations.

Authors: Qin Xiao , Xie Guangying
Published: April 2024

This paper analyzes the impact of digital transformation on corporate ESG (environmental, social, and governance) performance based on the dynamic capability theory of enterprises and the stakeholder theory perspective and conducts empirical tests based on the data of Chinese A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2009 to 2022. Before, researchers mostly looked at overall ESG performance. This paper, on the other hand, starts by looking at overall ESG performance and then goes on to look at each of the three ESG dimensions (E, S, and G). It then does a subdimensional refinement to see how digital transformation affects the different dimensions of ESG performance and then checks how the company's ability to innovate in green technology affects the subdimension of ESG performance. This paper puts digital transformation and ESG performance in the same analytical framework, and from the perspective of digital transformation, it puts forward targeted insights and suggestions to improve the ESG performance of Chinese enterprises, providing theoretical support and empirical evidence to promote the practice of ESG development in Chinese enterprises.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT IN CHEMISTRY ON CHEMICAL REACTIONS USING AN EXPERIMENTAL METHOD FOR YEAR ONE HIGH SCHOOLSTUDENTS
Authors: Niu Yu Xing , Tanyabut Phibun
Published: April 2024

This study investigated the efficacy of an experimental method for improving learning achievement and satisfaction in first-year high school chemistry. Thirty students from a high school in Yinchuan, China, were randomly assigned to participate in the research, which utilized a pre-test/post-test group design. The research used four lesson plans focusing on chemical reactions, specifically between the metal sodium and its compounds. These lessons were validated for effectiveness using the 80/80 criterion. Additionally, a chemistry achievement test and a student satisfaction questionnaire were employed, both demonstrating appropriate difficulty and discrimination indices and high reliability.

The results demonstrate that the students learning achievement in chemistry significantly improved after using the experimental method. The mean score before studying was 14.90 (SD = 2.04), while the mean score after studying was 18.43 (SD = 2.06). This difference was statistically significant at the.05 level. Furthermore, the students expressed high satisfaction with the experimental learning approach. The overall satisfaction score was 4.64 (SD = 0.49), and specific aspects like interest and motivation and the perceived usefulness of the method received even higher ratings. This study suggests that utilizing experimental methods as part of the chemistry curriculum can effectively enhance learning achievement and positive student attitudes towards the subject, particularly in first-year high school students.

Published: April 2024

Aim: to develop a multidimensional weighted assessment of the influence of risk factors for stroke on the course of ischemic stroke that developed against the background of carotid stenosis of varying severity.Material and methods. We studied 606 patients who were in the department for patients with stroke in the acute period of ischemic stroke, who were divided into three groups according to the severity of carotid stenosis according to NASCET. In all patients, risk factors for the development of stroke were identified, the size of the ischemic focus was determined using a CT scan of the brain, and the patient’s condition and its changes were assessed using the NIHSS, Rankin, and Rivermead scales.Results. Estimated indicators are represented by different measurement scales, so there is a need to bring them to the same basis. The methodology for constructing a weighted assessment involves the formation of weighting coefficients for each component of the new index. A multidimensional weighted assessment was modeled in order to identify the main factors influencing its variation. A selection of risk factors for stroke in the studied patients was carried out, regression models were built, their statistical analysis was performed and their quality was assessed. Conclusion. Regression models allow you to cover a wide range of factors and mathematically express their relationship with performance indicators. The developed logistic models show the degree of positive or negative influence of various risk factors on the course of ischemic stroke in the studied groups of patients.

Published: April 2024

Abstract: In colorectal cancer, surgical resection is the main curative therapeutic modality for localized, non-metastatic colorectal cancer at any age with good performance status and controlled comorbidities. Nutritional status is known to be a very important factor in the treatment of all types of surgery including preoperative and postoperative aspects. This study aimed to assess the ability of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) to predict the healing time of surgical wounds after laparotomy in patients with colorectal cancer. Samples were patients with colorectal cancer that underwent laparotomy at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado. The results showed that mean age of patients was 55 years and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 22. Patients with comorbids were 18.2%. The most common duration of wound healing according to Southampton wound grade system was grade 0 (63.6%), followed by grade 1 (18.2%), grade 2 (4.5%), and grade 3 (13.6%). The Spearman test showed a positive correlation between pre-operative PNI and duration of wound healing (r=0.582), and the 2-tailed significancy of 0.000. In conclusion, prognostic nutritional index can predict the duration of post-laparotomy wound healing in colorectal cancer patients.

Published: April 2024

We report on the control of carrier density in r-SnO2 thin films grown on isostructural r-TiO2 substrates by doping with Sb aiming for power-electronics applications. The carrier density was tuned within a range of 3 × 1016–2 × 1019 cm−3. Two types of donors with different activation energies, attributed to Sb at Sn sites and oxygen vacancies, are present in the thin films. Both activation energies decrease as the concentration of Sb increases. A vertical Schottky barrier diode employing a Sb:r-SnO2/Nb:r-TiO2 exhibits a clear rectifying property with a rectification ratio of 103 at ±1 V.

O artigo examina o material relacionado ao I Congresso de Poesia de São Paulo presente na Revista Brasileira de Poesia, com o objetivo de revisitar parte do arquivo ligado aos poetas da chamada Geração de 45. O periódico literário, composto por sete edições, foi publicado entre 1947 e 1956, sob a direção de Domingos Carvalho da Silva, Péricles Eugenio da Silva Ramos, Carlos Burlamaqui Köpke, Geraldo Vidigal e João Accioli, em São Paulo. Este grupo foi responsável por organizar o evento, que ocorreu entre 29 de abril e 2 de maio de 1948. Tanto nas colaborações da revista quanto no congresso, é perceptível a interação entre esses poetas e intelectuais e figuras consagradas do modernismo brasileiro, já reconhecidas e relevantes para a cena literária dos anos 1940. Nomes como Sérgio Milliet, Menotti del Picchia, Cassiano Ricardo, Oswald de Andrade e Patrícia Galvão fazem parte desse contexto. No entanto, essa interação, assim como com outros proeminentes críticos literários da época, como Antonio Candido, não se desenrolou sem tensões e oscilações.

Karel Schoeman’s fictional historiography Skepelinge. Aanloop tot ‘n roman (2017) offersan alternative representation of the early colonial history at Cape of Good Hope with itspronounced emphasis on marginalized individuals or groups and unrealized socialpotentials of the (hybridized) colonial society. By activating forgotten or concealednarratives and alternative visions of history and by writing from the position of historical‘losers’, the text also contains an anti-colonial potential and reveals a constant ideologicalstruggle in the historiographical representations. The novel therefore fits into the postapartheid literary trend of rewriting (national) history, parodizing canonical texts andcriticizing the ideological strongholds of Afrikaner nationalism.
MORFOMETRIA DA BACIA DO RIO FORMIGA UTILIZANDO O ZONEAMENTO ECOLÓGICO-ECONÔMICO DE MINAS GERAIS

Muitas cidades, por falta de planejamento urbano ou outros motivos, sofrem constantemente com enchentes e inundações, por isso faz-se necessário criar mecanismos que auxiliem na prevenção desses desastres. Este trabalho traz o estudo morfométrico da bacia que influencia na ocorrência de enchentes na área urbana do município de Formiga-MG, utilizando como principal ferramenta os dados do Zoneamento Ecológico-Econômico de Minas Gerais disponíveis na Plataforma IDE-Sisema. Foi feita coleta de dados geomorfométricos que foram processados para a obtenção de informações como área, perímetro, comprimento axial etc. Esses elementos permitiram a estimativa de indicadores do comportamento físico e hidrológico da bacia, como fator de forma, densidade de rede de drenagem, entre outros. A bacia apresenta mediana propensão a enchentes, conforme mostraram o índice de circularidade (Ic = 0,51), fator de forma (Ff = 0,52) e a razão de elongação (Re = 0,82). Essa mediana propensão a enchentes da bacia hidrográfica analisada é devida, principalmente, à sua forma e à impermeabilização do solo pelas construções civis às margens de seus principais rios.
CONSTRUÇÃO DE UM EQUIPAMENTO MULTIFUNCIONAL DE BAIXO CUSTO PARA ANÁLISES FLUORIMÉTRICAS E FOTOMÉTRICAS: UMA OPÇÃO PARA ABORDAGENS CONTEXTUALIZADAS NO ENSINO MÉDIO

Este trabalho visa promover a reflexão acerca da necessidade de interconexão entre conteúdos relacionados à luz nas disciplinas de Física e Química na atualidade e oferecer uma alternativa para a correlação dos mesmos através da transposição de abordagens interdisciplinares, de forma experimental, contextualizada e transdisciplinar. Para tal, realiza-se uma retrospectiva histórica abrangendo as principais descobertas acerca da natureza da luz, além da descrição e explicação dos principais conceitos relacionados à fotometria e fluorimetria, de forma multidisciplinar.  Para a abordagem experimental, realizou-se a construção de um equipamento multifuncional de baixo custo para a realização de análises fotométricas e fluorimétricas, assim como sua aplicação na determinação do teor de quinino em água tônica e diclofenaco de sódio em medicamentos. Objetivou-se minimizar a lacuna existente no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, visando proporcionar ao discente a possibilidade de compreender como os conceitos teóricos sobre o modelo de Bohr, em Química e as ondas, em Física, estão intimamente relacionados com tecnologias presentes em seu cotidiano e como as análises quantitativas e qualitativas são de fundamental importância nos dias atuais. O equipamento proposto tem sua construção descrita com detalhes e os testes realizados apresentaram resultados correspondentes a 98% do método de comparação na determinação de quinina em água tônica e recuperação acima de 95% no ensaio de adição e recuperação para determinação de diclofenaco em medicamentos, o que indica viabilidade para a sua reprodução no ensino.
Regulating Greenhouse Gas Emissions Under the Endangered Species Act
Authors: Biber Eric
Published: April 2024

Despite the devastating impact climate change will have on biodiversity, most legal scholars and policymakers are skeptical that the flagship statute for protecting biodiversity in the United States, the Endangered Species Act (ESA), should be deployed to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This skepticism has been driven by the concern that using the ESA to regulate greenhouse gases could lead to administrative issues, legal chaos, and political backlash that might endanger the Act overall.

In this article, I draw on three different elements to argue that the ESA could plausibly be used to regulate greenhouse gases. Specifically, I draw on recent scientific developments that help attribute impacts on biodiversity to climate change; on a common tool in environmental regulation, the general permit; and on key elements of tort law that allow for the division of liability among various actors. Together, these elements mark out a pathway by which the ESA can be used to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, and potentially produce significant funds to pay for the protection of at least some species that are threatened by climate change.

I propose developing a general permit system under the ESA that would regulate large sources of greenhouse gas emissions. This system would charge a fee per unit of greenhouse gases emitted that would compensate for the proportional harm that each unit of emissions causes to species threatened by climate change. In turn, those funds can be used to facilitate conservation efforts for species that are protected under the ESA and threatened by climate change. I provide a thorough examination of how such a system would be consistent with the ESA and the implementing regulations and agency guidance documents, how it would work in practice for individual species or emitters, and how likely such a program would be to withstand judicial review.

The proposal has implications beyond the ESA. It helps identify the ways in which creative regulatory approaches, such as general permits, can facilitate the adaptation of existing environmental laws, like the ESA, to the current-day context of climate change. Given the increasing impacts of climate change and the difficulties of enacting substantial revisions to environmental laws at the federal level, such creativity will be essential for a range of policy areas.

Kinder und Jugendliche im Umfeld von Gewalt – Aufgaben und Möglichkeit der Jugendstrafrechtspflege
Authors: Ott Müller Alexandra , Zimmerlin Sven
Published: April 2024

Der Beitrag analysiert die Aufgaben und Möglichkeiten der Jugendstrafrechtspflege. Ausgehend von statistischen Ausführungen zur Jugendkriminalität im Allgemeinen und zur Jugendgewalt im Besonderen skizzieren die Autoren die Kernelemente des Jugendstrafrechts und -strafverfahrens, um diese hernach auf die Gewaltdelinquenz und das Bedrohungsmanagement bei jugendlichen Tätern, Opfern und Gefährdern anzuwenden. Nachfolgend werden die umfangreichen Möglichkeiten der Jugendstrafrechtspflege im Umgang mit Kindern und Jugendlichen im Umfeld von Gewalt aufgezeigt, und zwar mit Fokus auf den Kanton Zürich. Zwei Praxisbeispiele veranschaulichen den stark spezialpräventiven und interdisziplinären Charakter des Jugendstrafrechts sowie das Zusammenwirken der Jugendanwaltschaften mit den Jugenddiensten der Polizeikorps, der Jugendforensik und den Zivilbehörden zur Bewältigung dieses Phänomens.
