Authors: Ul Kashif Najam , Javed Muhammad Latif , Jahan Musarrat , Bahoo Rabia
Published: January 2023

Quality drive initiative (QDI) was taken by Primary School Education Department of Punjab in order to develop the quality standards for the students of class one, two and three who were continuously being ignored by teachers. Owing to it the base of the students was very week which could not be covered till advanced class. In a survey conducted by CM ROAD MAP TEAM in 2021, it was observed that only 38% students were capable to recognize the things with words. Students of class one, two and three did not know how to read and write. Even they were unable to write their own names and match the things with words. So for making this initiative better this decision was taken to improve the standards of education for quality of early childhood education. Agenda of this program was to improve reading, writing, phonological and comprehension skills in Urdu and English and numeracy skills in mathematics. Guidelines were established for District Teacher Educators (DTEs) and Assistant Education Officers (AEOs) to provide guidance to teachers in fields for the improvements of results and to teach the students in natural and friendly environment. According to this initiative basic focus was given on three subjects English, Urdu and mathematics. Study aimed at what is the Quality Drive Initiative (QDI) and how they are improving the performance of primary students, in order to check the effectiveness of the program. To find out the perceptions of teachers on quality drive initiative program a questionnaire set for teachers, AEOs & DTEs. A test was also conducted before starting the QDI program. Results of the tests and response of the respondents show that QDI program meets its 80% target. For rural areas, this program shows better results as compared to urban areas. Interesting suggestions were made based on the findings.```
ՀՀ բանկային համակարգում ակտիվների որակի միկրոտնտեսական կարգավորումը / Microprudential Regulation of the Quality of Assets in the RA Banking System
Authors: TONIKYAN MARTIN
Published: January 2023

The paper investigated microprudential
factors and their relationship with non-performing loans. A close
relationship between net profit and the percentage of nonperforming loans was revealed. A high negative correlation with
lags is shown, which indicates that ROA is a good predictor for
NPL. Analogous results were also noted by us when considering
the indicator FCFF. Another interesting fact is that the increase
in the number of assets leads to a decrease in the company's
profitability both immediately and in the following years, and it is
also associated with an increase in non-performing loans
throughout the system.
Thus, in order to create a more stable financial market, it is
necessary to limit the annual growth of bank assets at the
legislative level. It is obvious that extremely fast and aggressive
growth is connected with potentially large risks and volatility in
the banking system.
Տեղական ինքնակառավարման մարմինների կողմից իրականացված խախտումների և դրանց վրա ազդող գործոնների վերլուծությունը ՀՀ օրինակով / Analysis of the Violations Committed by Local Self-Government Bodies and the Factors Affecting Them by the Example of the RA
Authors: MKRTCHYAN LILIT
Published: January 2023

Proper implementation of authority by
local governments is crucial for any country. For this reason,
state authorities exercise control over the activities of community
governing bodies. The paper is devoted to the study of the
relationship between the number of violations revealed as a
result of legal control, financial equalization subsidies and the
number of population. Within the framework of the research,
the annual growth rates of the above-mentioned variables were
calculated and a linear regression model was developed, through
which the relationship between the selected variables was
presented. As a result of the analysis, it became clear that the
number of violations is directly dependent on the number of the
population and inversely dependent on the amount of subsidies
provided to the communities.

Authors: Colman Lerner Jorge Esteban , Del Sole M.B. , Dubois F.I. , Sambeth J.E. , Porta A.A. , Sanchez E.Y.
Published: January 2023

This work reports preliminary results on the fluid dynamic simulation using ANSYS CFD software of a pilot scale reactor experimentally tested for the removal of VOCs (toluene, ethylbenzene, methyl ethyl ketone and xylenes). The reactor is constructed from the modification of a commercial air stripper and has been successfully evaluated for the removal of VOCs using Mn, Ce and Pt based catalysts on ceramic monoliths (bentonite). By means of ANSYS CFD simulation it was possible to represent the flow in the reactor (validating with experimental data) and to simulate the flow in the monolith channels. This information will allow us to have a better understanding of the fluid dynamics in the catalysts and to simulate the reactions with different VOCs by combining ANSYS CFD with ChemKin-PRO.
NIOBIUM-DOPED PHOSPHOMOLYBDIC ACID CATALYST INCLUDED IN SILICA MATRIX: STUDY OF STABILITY AND REACTIVITY USING DIFFERENT LOADS
Authors: Colombo Migliorero María Belén , Palermo Valeria , Romanelli Gustavo Pablo , Vázquez Patricia Graciela
Published: January 2023

Heteropolyacids are used as catalysts in numerous reactions because they are inexpensive, nontoxic, have high acid strength and excellent redox properties. They have been used as acid catalyst in different ways, and numerous studies indicate that the incorporation of Nb into the structure of a solid generates an increase in the acidity of the sample, both at Lewis and Brönsted acid sites. Heteropolyacids have low surface area, which makes it necessary to include them in a support to increase the surface area and allow their use as heterogeneous catalysts in liquid phase reactions because they are very soluble in polar solvents. In this work, the synthesis of catalysts containing a niobium-doped heteropolyacid (PMoNb) included in silica at different concentrations is reported. The catalysts were characterized by ICP-MS, FT-IR, XRD, potentiometric titration, and their catalytic activity was tested in the selective oxidation of diphenyl sulfide to diphenyl sulfoxide, showing excellent results.

Published: January 2023

In the present work, the heteropolymolybdate (NH4)6MnMo9O32 containing Mn(II) as heteroatom was synthesized. The microcrystalline precipitate was characterized by XRD, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and SEM-EDS. Although the SEM-EDS results showed a surface enrichment of Mo, the expected structure was verified by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. According to its chemical and structural properties, the MnMo9 system was evaluated as "bulk" in the clean oxidation of diphenyl sulfide (DPS) and dibenzothiophene (DBT) with H2O2 at 80ºC. The results showed high reactivity, with 100% conversion of both DPS and DBT in short reaction times and good selectivity to the corresponding sulfones.

This book is designed specifically for students who are new to research and who may have a psychological barrier with regard to the subject. We have therefore not assumed any previous knowledge on the part of the reader. We have used many concepts and examples to communicate concepts; and areas covered in the book follow a ‘simple to complex’ approach in terms of their discussion and coverage. Research Methodology is taught as a supporting subject in several ways in many academic disciplines such as health, education, psychology, social work, nursing, public health, library studies and marketing research. It is true that some disciplines place greater emphasis on quantitative research and some on qualitative research. Authors’ approach to research is a combination of both.

Although public concern about COVID-19 vaccinations causing menstrual cycle disruptions is growing, there is presently insufficient research to assess the impact of immunization on menstrual health. The present study enrolled 455 young females and effect of COVID 19 immunization on normal menstruation and minor post-vaccine side effects were observed. This study was held through online google forms which were circulated in different universities of Lahore. The majority of participants (81%) were in the 18–23 age group, and (58%) of them were at their ideal weight. Sinopharm was the most prominent administrative vaccine (54%). In this region, the least frequent use of administrative vaccine was AstraZeneca (2%). Majority of females (74%) had mild post-vaccination symptoms. Irregular menstrual cycle was noted in 23% of females while 17% were unsure whether this irregularity was brought on by the Covid-19 vaccine or by some other medical condition. Unusual cramps were reported by 42% of females, while early onset with menstrual bleeding and delayed period with minimal flow were reported by 28% and 18% of females, respectively.

Authors: Smt. Dikari Bonnie Lamare
Published: January 2023

The fate of man in the modern society has become a significant study that emerged in the field of literature and its analysis. Modern man is caught in a web of his emotions where the search for the truth of life and ultimate self-realization are the important ideals of human existence. The Outsider is an analysis and the study of man and his existence where the search for truth and self-realization becomes the highest ideals that he can ever achieve. The meaning of life and the search for truth can be depicted in Colin Wilson’s analysis of his theory The Outsider. Colin Wilson’s The Outsider is a philosophical study of the meaning of human existence and the search for truth and identity. This paper attempts to study Colin Wilson’s The Outsider in light of the fate of man in the modern world where the search for truth and identity has become a vague idea. Also, an attempt will be made to reveal the fate of man as Colin Wilson denotes in his philosophical work.
Exploring Some Facets of Rasa Theory
Authors: Dr Snigdha Jha
Published: January 2023

The present paper is an exercise in humility to explore some of the facets of Rasa theory. Rasa as the name suggests means milk, wine or gist of a thing. The ancient theorists regard Rasa as the soul of poetry. Creation has evolved from the heterogeneity of Sattva, Raja and Tama. Pleasure is the most sought after thing starting from an insect to Brahma. This aesthetic pleasure or constant consciousness in Supreme Happiness is technically or poetically designated by the name of Rasa. The earliest treatise in which the Rasa theory finds an expression is the Natyashastra of Bharat who in turn claimed to have seen its first expression in Atharvveda. Rasa according to Bharat is a thought feeling synthesis. Rasa like the recipe of a drink is made up of many bhavas (feelings). As we delve deeper into the paper the explanation of Bharat about the origin of Rasa is given. Finally deities of this Rasas are shown in a tabular form.
Alienation or Assimilation: The Problem of Indian Diaspora in the Select Novel of Bharati Mukherjee and Jhumpa Lahiri
Authors: Sunil Kumar Dwivedi  , Pradeep Khare
Published: January 2023

The migration of human beings has always been found in quest for a better life and future. Since the very beginning of the archaic world of human perception till today, the human migration has been continued in the exploration of better life, progress, prosperity, happiness and contentment but often it found only struggle and discontentment due to social, emotional or psychological disorder in the cultural background of detachment or alienation. Many branches of knowledge try to explore such migration in their terms and origination of human beings. In literature such migration comes to be studied under the head of Diaspora which deals with the literary sensibility of human beings and reveals certain features like nostalgia, homesickness, identity crisis, alienation, assimilation, cultural discourses and social upheavals that are fully responsible for the misfortunes of such migrant communities, located, dislocated and relocated without roots into the different parts of the world. The condition of such migrant people living under the umbrella of diaspora, has always been a dual state of mind which creates confusion and clashes into the sense of dislocation, alienation and other issues that these expatriates or immigrants deal with. Diasporic literature is exemplified with the perception of literature written on Diaspora or by Diaspora. The literary criteria of the diaspora, compresses the complexities and dynamic conditions of human migration: emigration and immigration. This paper explores the alienation or assimilation, the diasporic sensibility of Bharati Mukherjee and Jhumpa Lahiri in their selected novels, The Tiger’s Daughter, Jasmine and The Namesake respectively.
Expression of Political Agenda of Eunuch’s Exploitation in Mahesh Dattani’s Seven Steps around the Fire
Authors: Vinod Kumar  , Dr Om Shiv Pandey
Published: January 2023

Mahesh Dattani is an uncompromising director and playwright. He has used varied lifelike theatrical forms to engage the spectator in identifying the emotions carried by the voiceless, marginalized as well as minority people in India. He stimulates people to understand the real situation, prevailing in society. He makes the most effective use of stage to reveal the angst of voiceless society of India that will push the Indian society into the next level of definition for social civilization. He has created a new world for common people to think by giving vent to the frustration and anger of the long suppressed and unrecognized marginalized sections of society. When his plays are read, a new kind of experience is got altogether. Within the framework of dramatic structure, Dattani tries to look into the identities of those who get no space and recognition in social order and have been dragged in darkness. Some of the problems which the plays of Dattani deal with have rarely been discussed and recognized in India. In his plays he depicts mainly the middle-class Indian life and focuses on modern subjects like homosexuality, gender identity, contemporary social issues like violence and crime, human relationships and communalism. In Seven Steps around the Fire, Dattani presents the plight of the Hijras (eunuch) to whom society discards. It is found that they are socially and politically exploited in the Indian society as well as in the whole world. They are supposed to be the abandoned gender of the society consequently they face social, political, economic and emotion exploitation and discrimination in every step of their lives.

Dismantling the Labyrinth: Analyzing Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children
Authors: Nikhil Kumar Yadav
Published: January 2023

The following paper is an attempt to analyze the wonderful tale Salman Rushdie has penned about the Indian nation. Rushdie’s sheer brilliance could be seen in Midnight’s Children, where he has piled the Indian history in a sublime way. Britishers, who sucked the soul out of India, are the ones directly responsible for the situation the Indian nationhood is in today. The mere pleasure of monarchs and elites brought catastrophes and havoc to the whole nation. The Indian freedom struggle was one of its kind in the world- for the country was divided on the night of its independence. It suffered one its worst time on the day it was liberated, millions left their home for ever and a line of hatred was drawn. This paper tries to lighten the history which tells us about those dreams which caused the partition of India. It talks about the working of the elites, who causes the manipulation of masses. It explains the political megalomania and how religion acts as the main ingredient for it, in India. The paper is not only a reference to a particular incident in history, but explains the working of government, authority and oligarchy and their dominion over the soul and body of the common people of the country.
Thematic Study of Naipaul’s Selected Works
Authors: Mausam Kumari
Published: January 2023

Theme defines a major subject, idea or underlying meaning that is being discussed or a writer explores in a piece of writing. It is the suggested view taken on the main idea or message of any fictional, dramatic or nonfictional story. For instance, love can be the subject but desire for love might be the theme. The setting, characters, plot, dialogue are combined together to convey the theme of any piece of writing. Theme is not only the storyline or description but also something more than it. It is the center of any narrative that runs throughout a plot. Betrayal, love, life and death, courage, good vs. evil, revenge, beauty, family etc. are some of the common themes in literature. Important concepts and messages encountered by the characters and the setting of a tale are communicated through themes. A story without a theme is just a collection of random characters and events. It serves as the component that gives a tale or poem its meaning. This article discusses different kinds of themes used within the works of V.S. Naipaul. The main themes in his writings are escapism and disillusionment, Exile and alienation, displacement or migration, the search of a stable sense of personal identity, rootlessness and many more.
Nature as a Device in Tanure Ojaide’s The Tales of the Harmattan and Flora Nwapa’s Cassava Song and Rice Song
Authors: Ibrahim BALA Kanti
Published: January 2023

This paper examines nature as a device in Tanure Ojaide’s The Tale of the Harmattan and Flora Nwapa’s Cassava Song and Rice Song. It proceeds on the assumption that there is a relationship between nature and literature beyond the interest of the Romantics and Ecocriticism and that this relationship is often demonstrated aesthetically and thematically to express the human condition. With emphasis on the metaphorization of the components that make up nature, this paper deploys Peter Steiner’s Machine model of Formalism which sees literary criticism as a sort of mechanics and the text as a heap of devices. In this regard, Formalism is here deployed as a means of exploring the extent to which nature functions as a device in The Tale of the Harmattan and Cassava Song and Rice Song. It emphasizes the figurative use of nature to estrange the ordinary. This paper finds that the figurative use of nature helps to establish the aesthetic grounds that justifies the literariness of the poem. The paper also finds that the presence of nature in the poems heighten the aesthetic quality of the poems because nature readily finds expression in patterns or attributes common to all its components. Thus, the metaphorization of nature components as a means of portraying the human condition.
(Re)Examining Womanism in Phoebe Jatau’s The Hound
Authors: Jesse Bijimi
Published: January 2023

Over the years, there has been a proliferation of writing by women authors in Northern Nigeria, central to their concern, is negotiating between what culture is and is not, especially as it relates to the women folks. With literature’s overwhelming role, in its stance as the mirror of the society, is the forceps with which one can gather the customs, believes, thoughts and value systems of a people, thus; learning about how their culture(s), could make or mar them. This explains why the Northern Nigerian woman as a prototype of the African woman has her role(s) defined by history, religion and cultural practices. In light of the foregoing, this paper finds that, this phenomenon called culture (in all its social forms, material traits of a racial, religious or social group) with its cancerous fangs on the livelihood of the average African woman, has today been reconfigured by the Womanist strand of feminism to the extent its impact are both felt and visible. Thus; this paper unknots the nitty-gritties of Africans perception of womanhood by the males and how the woman also sees herself and/or expects to be seen with particular focus on Phoebe Jatau’s The Hound. By this, it shows that contemporary female writers in Northern Nigeria and Africa at large have both re-evaluated themselves and are akin to the significance of their place, thus; crushing the patriarchal hold of their individual societies on them, and in the long run, assuaging their worth as less than humans.

By 2025, Taiwan will have a super-aged society comprising approximately 4.7 million older adults. This increase is associated with an increased demand for oral health care. The Taiwanese Government has established a total of seven oral health-care centers for individuals with special needs. The first center was established in 2010; the centers are spread (north, middle, south, and east) across Taiwan. Older adults, particularly those with special needs, often experience several barriers when searching for dental service. Therefore, we developed a new model for providing dental service for these individuals. This article presents our 34-year clinical experience at an oral health-care center (National Taiwan University Hospital) for individuals with special needs. Our findings may help clinicians in the field of special care dentistry develop effective oral health programs for older adults with special needs.

 
中國山水畫提示的大地經驗
Authors: 林靜秀 林靜秀
Published: January 2023

面對科技進步與社會發展造成自然被工業歷程汙染和破壞，究其根源在於人對自然的利用、開發走向宰制關係，東西哲人皆肯定中國山水畫在我們重建人與自然的關係有幫助。中國山水畫畫家提及繪畫是在自然中追尋道，但是沈清松以宇宙論和心靈哲學確立山水畫的理論架構，在自然與道的本體架構下，才能讓我們的心靈從山水畫把握到超越的精神境界。儘管朱利安看似不離這個架構，但是似乎重點落在繪畫的中介角色，以中國山水畫畫面的對立要素經營出之間的活力場域，但是又在開啟之外的秩序聯繫我們與世界回到共同的根源。於是兩位哲學家可以互相參照又互相補充，為我們確立山水畫作為畫面上的部分風景，卻指向超越的整體大地。

 

Whether philosophers come from East and West, they all agree the Chinese Landscape painting offers us the hint to rebuild the human-nature relationship. In the Chinese Landscape painting, the painters confess they pursue the Tao in Nature. Vincent Shen constructs the cosmology and the philosophy of mind to explain the experience of the painters. Tao got the priority and transcendental role in the ontological structure. We can appreciate it in the Chinese Landscape painting with our minds and find pleasure in the spiritual realm. Also, François Jullien agrees with the same ontological structure, but he seems to put his focus on the role of the painting. He points out that the opposite elements in the picture can wave and live out the vital field. And, the landscape realizes the reciprocity between the pole of the self and the world, between interiority and exteriority. Among things, the outside plunges us back to the common ground between the world and us. We can combine the thoughts of these two philosophers, and make them refer to and complete each other. According, what we saw in Chinese Landscape painting is just parts of the landscape, but the whole which goes beyond the landscape, that’s the life on Earth.

 
Democracy and Taxation: Evidence from African Countries
Authors: Kipuka Kabongi Decky , Samy Yiagadeesen
Published: January 2023

Using a database on fiscal performance from the African Economic Outlook (AEO) for 51 African countries, this article examines the link between regime type and taxation. The existing theoretical and empirical literature on this issue has thus far yielded very contradictory results, and the relationship between regime type and taxation in the African case has not been studied as much, largely because of insufficient data. Yet, the African case is interesting for several reasons. First, many African countries have democratized in the past two decades. At the same time, tax revenue as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) has increased, in part due to resource-related tax revenues, and several African countries are already making significant tax effort. There has also been much emphasis in recent years about the need for African countries to mobilize more resources domestically in order to reduce their reliance on external sources. Examining the determinants of taxation and tax structure is thus an important question, which this article attempts to answer. Controlling for various socioeconomic factors, the authors find some evidence of a positive relationship between regime type and taxation, as well as some support for the idea that this relationship varies according to the type of taxes that are considered. Based on the authors’ findings, this article presents some policy recommendations that can strengthen the link between democracy and taxation in African countries.
Evaluating central bank asset purchases in a term structure model with a forward-looking supply factor
Authors: Equiza Juan , Gimeno Ricardo , Moreno Antonio , Thomas Carlos
Published: January 2023

The theoretical literature on term structure models emphasises the importance of the expected absorption of duration risk during the residual life of term bonds in order to understand the yield curve effect of central banks’ government bond purchases. Motivated by this, we develop a forward-looking, long-horizon measure of euro area government bond supply net of Eurosystem holdings, and use it to estimate the impact of the ECB’s asset purchase programmes in the context of a no-arbitrage affine term structure model. We find that an asset purchase shock equivalent to 10% of euro area GDP lowers the 10-year average yield of the euro area big four by 59 basis points (bp) and the associated term premium by 50 bp. Applying the model to the risk-free (OIS) yield curve, the same shock lowers the 10-year rate and term premium by 35 and 26 bp, respectively.

El proyecto cosmopolita y la alternativa de una reconstrucción multicultural de los derechos humanos
Authors: Vicari Gana Vicente
Published: January 2023

En un escenario postnacional de transformaciones y aparición de nuevos desafíos para la humanidad, los derechos humanos conservan el potencial necesario para servir de base a un proceso en que, a través de su resignificación desde una perspectiva plural y multicultural, logren dotar de mayor legitimidad a las estructuras de gobernanza en todos los niveles. El trabajo busca sobre la base de la revisión del proyecto cosmopolita kantiano y su renovación contemporánea efectuada por Jürgen Habermas, revisar qué forma debiese tomar una institucionalidad cosmopolita y qué rol juegan los derechos humanos en ese proyecto. Para complementar este enfoque se contempla la revisión de la propuesta de Boaventura de Sousa Santos en relación con el cosmopolitismo subalterno y la importancia de desarrollar una práctica jurídica abierta a la comprensión de los derechos humanos desde una perspectiva pluralista y multicultural.
Justicia indígena y nueva constitución: Desafíos para el futuro de Chile
Authors: Del Solar Cortés María José , Cantillana Guerrero Pablo
Published: January 2023

Las demandas por el reconocimiento constitucional de los pueblos indígenas han tenido eco en las discusiones sobre un nuevo marco constitucional para Chile, lo que ha abierto la discusión al reconocimiento de los sistemas jurídicos indígenas abandonando la tradición monista imperante. El reconocimiento del pluralismo jurídico supone una tarea compleja de adecuación de las instituciones del  sistema no indígena. Las experiencias de otros países latinoamericanos pueden resultar provechosas para la identificación de los principales nudos problemáticos que deben ser considerados para la coexistencia de diversos sistemas jurídicos. El reconocimiento de los sistemas normativos indígenas propios implica reforzar los compromisos estatales en materia de acceso a la justicia no indígena de los pueblos indígenas, en tanto supone la incorporación de la perspectiva intercultural en el ejercicio de la función jurisdiccional. Con el fin de aportar a estas discusiones, se presentan algunas reflexiones comparadas y los elementos imprescindibles para el proceso legislativo que su reconocimiento constitucional implica.

Authors: Canales Guzmán Valentina
Published: January 2023

En este artículo se abordará la relación existente entre el acceso al ejercicio de los Derechos Económicos, Sociales, Culturales y Ambientales (en adelante DESCA) de las personas LGBTIQA+ que se traducen en pobreza y desigualdad social y los actos discriminatorios y de violencia de los que son víctimas. Se analizará al grupo de las personas LGBTIQA+ en situación de vulnerabilidad y se examinará la relación existente entre el ejercicio de los DESCA de este grupo con la pobreza y la vulnerabilidad, teniendo en cuenta los contextos de violencia y discriminación que forman parte de sus vivencias. Por último, con el fin de indagar empíricamente en la relación señalada, será observada la situación de los DESCA de las personas LGBTIQA+ en Chile a partir de información obtenida de diversos estudios elaborados por organizaciones de la sociedad civil y la exposición de casos de violencia por motivos de discriminación en razón de la orientación sexual o la identidad de género.
Sobre la aplicación de la teoría del dominio de la voluntad en virtud de aparatos organizados: análisis a la luz del estallido social en Chile
Authors: Altamirano Tabilo Alexia
Published: January 2023

Según las últimas cifras entregadas por el Instituto Nacional de Derechos Humanos, existe actualmente un total de 2.873 procesos iniciados en virtud de los hechos ocurridos en el marco del denominado estallido social en los que el Ministerio Público aún no ha comunicado la existencia de personas imputadas. Esta realidad vuelve necesaria la reconsideración de figuras legales que permitan imputar la responsabilidad penal a aquellos individuos que, sin haber ejecutado directamente los delitos cometidos por miembros de Carabineros de Chile, tienen la dirección y supervisión de dichas organizaciones. Por ello, este trabajo aborda la posibilidad de aplicar la teoría del dominio de la voluntad en virtud de aparatos organizados de poder, proponiendo para ello una propuesta de interpretación del elemento de apartamiento del derecho exigido por Roxin para dar lugar a esta figura, y así verificar finalmente si es posible sostener su aplicación en el marco del denominado estallido social.

Authors: Ilabaca Turri Javiera
Published: January 2023

El texto analiza el tratamiento jurídico penal que se otorga al fenómeno de la explotación sexual comercial de niños, niñas y adolescentes, respecto del favorecimiento de la prostitución infantil y la obtención de servicios sexuales de adolescentes, a la luz de las exigencias impuestas por los tratados suscritos por el Estado en la materia, y de las consideraciones dogmáticas respecto de los tipos penales establecidos en los artículos 367 y 367 ter del Código Penal. Se revisan las principales características del fenómeno y el tratamiento que se le otorga desde el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, para luego analizar los tipos penales desde la perspectiva de los elementos del tipo, el bien jurídico tutelado, sus alcances y deficiencias, su suficiencia con relación a las obligaciones asumidas y la fenomenología.

El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la percepción que reportan las mujeres con hijos y sin hijos con sobrinos (PANKs, por sus siglas en inglés) sobre el vínculo con sus mascotas en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Se compararon dos submuestras de iguales características de 204 mujeres cada una, una con hijos, y otra sin hijos y con sobrinos. Se estudiaron variables relacionadas con actividades y percepciones de las participantes. Las pruebas de Chi Cuadrado, y el análisis de la varianza sugieren que las PANKs perciben mayores niveles de apego y vínculos con sus mascotas que las mujeres con hijos.
Algunos límites semánticos en la redacción de contratos más inteligentes
Authors: Villablanca Villa Yohanna
Published: January 2023

El fenómeno de los contratos inteligentes ha comenzado a ser estudiado como un nuevo paso en la contratación digital. Este trabajo reflexiona sobre los desafíos semánticos en la redacción de cláusulas contractuales en ambientes cada vez más digitalizados.

A través del estudio de los niveles de racionalidad presente en las cláusulas contractuales y en el razonamiento legal, se fijarán límites teóricos a la incorporación del lenguaje de programación en el ámbito contractual. El lenguaje de programación es altamente racional, pero la presencia de la racionalidad dentro del lenguaje jurídico varía según categorías contractuales, así como según el concepto mismo de razonamiento jurídico.
Responsabilidad social empresarial una estrategia para promover y garantizar la protección del derecho fundamental al medio ambiente sano y equilibrado
Authors: Andrade Tacca César , De la Cruz Huanca Oswaldo
Published: January 2023

La responsabilidad social empresarial (en lo posterior, RSE) contribuye al desarrollo sostenible. Asegura la presencia de la actividad empresarial con impactos positivos en la sociedad y su entorno. Su principal rasgo es el cumplimiento voluntario porque se trata de una práctica ética empresarial. Este trabajo, sin embargo, analiza y postula la RSE como un mandato obligatorio en el Estado Constitucional, es decir, su cumplimiento no se trata de un asunto de buena voluntad o una práctica ética. Ello al constatar que la RSE es una herramienta y estrategia capaz de promover el cuidado del derecho fundamental al medio ambiente sano y equilibrado. Si ello es así, por consiguiente, su cumplimiento se torna en imperativo, porque las empresas tienen el deber de respetar, proteger y conservar el ambiente. Y, sumado a eso, en el Estado Constitucional los poderes públicos y privados están obligados a actuar conforme a los derechos y la realización de la Constitución. En tal contexto, cumplir e implementar estrategias que promuevan los derechos es una obligación, siendo así, la RSE es un instrumento que debe implementarse por las empresas para proteger el medio ambiente y legitimar el desarrollo de sus actividades, en especial, las de carácter extractiva que son muchas veces fuente de conflictos.
A casi diez años de la normativa de caducidad de las Resoluciones de Calificación Ambiental: diez dilemas jurídico-prácticos en su aplicación
Authors: Chubretovic Arnaiz Teresita , Arellano Reyes Gustavo
Published: January 2023

En el presente artículo se estudia la caducidad y la acreditación de vigencia de las Resoluciones de Calificación Ambiental. Para ello se hace una revisión de su conceptualización, su consagración normativa, y su implementación por parte del Servicio de Evaluación Ambiental y la Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente. Luego, se levantan diez dilemas jurídico-prácticos a los que estos organismos se han enfrentado en su aplicación. En particular, se abordan cuestionamientos de legalidad, certeza jurídica, medios de impugnación y coordinación administrativa en el procedimiento de acreditación de vigencia de Resoluciones de Calificación Ambiental. Se destacan la falta de regulación de la situación en la que quedan los proyectos una vez acreditado el inicio de su ejecución; la ausencia de mecanismos que obliguen efectivamente a su continuidad; y la descoordinación con situaciones externas que la puedan afectar. Bajo este contexto, el trabajo pretende responder a la pregunta de si en los primeros diez años de aplicación de la caducidad de las Resoluciones de Calificación Ambiental, esta figura ha logrado cumplir con el espíritu que el legislador tuvo presente al momento de incluir el artículo 25 ter en la Ley 19.300: que los proyectos fueran ejecutados en condiciones de línea de base similares a las de la época en la que se hizo su procedimiento de evaluación de impacto ambiental. Ello, se sostiene, no se ha logrado de manera suficiente por lo que se hacen necesarios una serie de ajustes normativos que se delinean a lo largo del estudio.
