FREQUENCY OF AGGRESSION IN THE MASS MEDIA
Authors: Zayyrbekova Aychurok
Published: December 2020

The article examines the frequency of the content of aggression in the media and its impact on the human psyche. The article presents the results of a study of the frequency of manifestation of aggression in the media, using the method of quantitative content analysis, which is based on the study of the content of any documents, media materials, literature, works of art, personal and official documents. As an object of research, we identified the frequency of manifestation of aggression, the material of the study is a random sample of 7 films ("The Great Gatsby", "Pompeii", "State Councilor", "The Third Extra", "The Diary of Memory", "Law Abiding Citizen" and "Bruce omnipotent"). The units under study are movie episodes, which we have divided into 7 categories: open manifestation of aggression (verbal and non-verbal); display of humor; unreal situations (fantasy); manifestation of sentimentality; neutral and positively oriented neutral plots; narration; manifestation of fear. Having considered all the units of study of a random sample of movies, we came to the following conclusion: aggression is one of the most common categories on television. According to the results of the study, it can be assumed that one of the reasons for the aggressiveness of modern society is the presence of a large amount of negative information in the media, this is due to the fact that a person tends to "absorb" and copy forms of behavior "from the screen", in particular, this applies to children aged up to 12 years old.

Improving the experience of hospital doctors who are not in training programmes
Authors: Azhar Jawad , Thomas Peter , McCarthy Karen , Raza Tanzeem , Vassallo Michael
Published: December 2020

Background/Aims

Doctors in non-consultant, non-training (NCNT) trust grade posts are an important part of the medical workforce across the UK, but their needs are often neglected. It is important to explore their work-related experience to support their welfare. This study aimed to explore the issues that were most important to the positive work experience of this group of doctors.

Method

Work-related themes were identified through meetings with NCNT trust grade doctors. A questionnaire was then compiled asking such doctors to rate statements based on these themes using a 5-point Likert scale. Correlations between scores on these statements and the scores on the key statement ‘I will recommend coming to this hospital for training to my friends’ were explored.

Results

The questionnaire was completed by 25 doctors. Statements reflecting organisational culture, such as ‘I never felt bullied’ (r=0.698) or ‘I feel well supported in my work’ (r=0.796) demonstrated strong correlations with whether respondents would recommend the trust to a friend, while process-based statements, such as ‘I have been allocated a clinical supervisor’ (r=0.12), did not.

Conclusions

Focusing on the needs and opinions of NCNT trust grade doctors is important to support recruitment and retention. When evaluating the impact of processes on job satisfaction for this group, it may be more useful to focus on the outcomes of the processes and the general organisational culture, rather than simply checking off whether the processes exist.
Mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on oncology services in low- and middle-income countries: a pragmatic approach
Authors: Kumar Divyesh , Yadav Budhi Singh
Published: December 2020

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has caused massive mortality worldwide. Healthcare systems are presently being put in jeopardy as they are stretched to their maximum capacity. Oncology patients are at an increased risk, not only because of their compromised immunity, but also because of the possibility that their cancer will progress from early stage to advanced stage as a result of delays to their treatment. Advanced age and comorbidities further add to the risks associated with COVID-19, especially in patients undergoing radiation or chemotherapy. Since prompt treatment is important for patients with cancer, strategies to curtail the infection rate without treatment interruptions are urgently needed. This article presents and explains the workflow pattern followed in an oncology ward, as well as the strategies and interventions adopted to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on oncology patients.
Oesophageal mucosal tears caused by suboptimal nasogastric tube insertion: a case study
Authors: Nie Fali , Han Xiaoling , Huang Xuanjie , Wang Huiying , Wang Yanyan , Zhong Yanhui
Published: December 2020

Oesophageal bezoars are one of the many causes of nasogastric tube obstruction; however, they are extremely rare and, therefore, not often considered to be the cause of a blockage. A bezoar is a solid mass of indigestible material that accumulates in the digestive tract. After a blockage is identified, the nasogastric tube is usually removed and another one inserted. However, this can be dangerous and can easily cause tearing of the oesophageal mucosa, bleeding, and other serious complications. In this article, the authors present a case of nasogastric tube obstruction caused by oesophageal bezoars. After the nasogastric tube was replaced, the patient experienced two tears of the oesophageal mucosa. This article highlights the importance of the introduction of a procedure for nurses to follow in cases of nasogastric tube obstruction, bearing in mind the possibility of the presence of oesophageal bezoars. If necessary, a gastroscope should be used to ensure safe insertion of the nasogastric tube and prevent oesophageal mucosal tears.

Lithography-defect-driven source-mask optimization solution for full-chip optical proximity correction
Authors: Peng Austin , Hsu Stephen D. , Howell Rafael C. , Li Qinglin
Published: December 2020

In the domain of computational lithography, the performance of an optimized imaging solution is usually qualified with a full-chip posted-optical-proximity-correction lithography printing check to ensure the printing is defect free before committed for mask writing. It is thus highly preferable for the optimization process itself to be driven by the same defect detection mechanism towards a defect-free solution. On the other hand, the huge data size of chip layout poses great challenge to such optimization process, in terms of runtime and data storage. A gradient-based optimization scheme thus becomes necessary. To date, no successful engineering tool is capable of accommodating these two requirements at the same time. We demonstrate the technology of defect-driven gradient-based optimization to achieve a defect-free solution within practical runtime specification, using ASML’s computational lithography product Tachyon SMO.
Separating twin images in digital holographic microscopy using weak scatterers
Authors: Shangraw Maxwell , Ling Hangjian
Published: December 2020

When using inline digital holographic microscopy (DHM) and placing the hologram plane within a particle suspension, both real and virtual images come into focus during reconstruction, limiting our ability to resolve three-dimensional (3D) particle distribution. Here, we propose a new method to distinguish between real and virtual images in the 3D reconstruction field. This new method is based on the use of weak scatterers, and the fact that the real and virtual images of weak scatterers display distinct intensity distributions along the optical axis. We experimentally demonstrate this method by localizing and tracking 1 µm particles in a 3D volume with a particle concentration ranging from 200 to

. Unlike previous approaches to address the virtual image problem, this method does not require the recording of multiple holograms or the insertion of additional optical components. The proposed method allows the hologram plane to be placed within the sample volume, and extends the capability of DHM to measure the 3D movements of particles in deep samples far away from the optical window.
Periodic planar Fabry–Perot nanocavities with tunable interference
colors based on filling density effects
Authors: Yang Zhengmei , Wang Yasi , Zhu Xupeng , Chen Yiqin , Zhang Shi , Li Ping , Duan Huigao
Published: December 2020

Structural colors of high performance and economically feasible fabrication are desired in various applications. Herein, we demonstrate that reflective full-color filters based on the interference effect can be realized in periodic Fabry–Perot (F-P) nanocavity arrays of the same thickness. Enabled by simply adjusting the nanocavity size and array period, the resonant wavelengths can be successively tuned in the whole visible light range, which is mainly attributed to the varied effective refractive index introduced by the different filling density of the F-P nanocavity. Compared to the plasmonic colors utilizing the similar nanostructures, the proposed interference colors offer unique advantages of higher color contrast, wider gamut, and lower fabrication requirements. Besides, these color filters do not involve modulating the vertical dimensions of the F-P nanocavities, which is conducive to the monolithic integration of multicolor optical cavities and their large-area applications in consumable products combined with replica patterning techniques, such as nanoimprinting and soft lithography.
Machine-learning-aided cognitive reconfiguration for flexible-bandwidth HPC and data center networks [Invited]
Authors: Chen Xiaoliang , Proietti Roberto , Fariborz Marjan , Liu Che-Yu , Yoo S. J. Ben
Published: December 2020

This paper proposes a machine-learning (ML)-aided cognitive approach for effective bandwidth reconfiguration in optically interconnected datacenter/high-performance computing (HPC) systems. The proposed approach relies on a Hyper-X-like architecture augmented with flexible-bandwidth photonic interconnections at large scales using a hierarchical intra/inter-POD photonic switching layout. We first formulate the problem of the connectivity graph and routing scheme optimization as a mixed-integer linear programming model. A two-phase heuristic algorithm and a joint optimization approach are devised to solve the problem with low time complexity. Then, we propose an ML-based end-to-end performance estimator design to assist the network control plane with intelligent decision making for bandwidth reconfiguration. Numerical simulations using traffic distribution profiles extracted from HPC applications traces as well as random traffic matrices verify the accuracy performance of the ML design estimator (

Investigation on image signal receiving performance of photodiodes and solar panel detectors in an underground facility visible light communication system

Published: December 2020

For the safety, underground facilities are required to be inspected regularly, especially with image analysis. Traditional wireless and wired transmission techniques have a weakness of limited transmission range in narrow underground environments. In this study, a new image transmission method based on visible light communication (VLC) has been thus proposed. Two types of detectors as an image signal receiver have been tested and discussed in the following experiments. The photodiodes (PDs) are widely used as a common image signal detector in VLC technology, but image signal detection using solar panels (SPs) has not been studied. PDs have a higher sensitivity and faster response time but a limited detection area and high cost. Besides, PDs require the lens to focus light. On the other hand, SPs have much larger optical signal receiving areas and stronger optical signal capture capabilities. They can realize lens-free detection and are inexpensive. These features of PD were firstly verified in experiments with several receiving areas and angles of detectors. The experimental result revealed that PD had better image detection and recovery capabilities than those of SP. Then, we found that a larger receiving area obtained by using double PDs/SPs improved the brightness of the restored image. In a supplementary experiment, the influence of different RGB optical components on VLC, especially the VLC-based image transmission, has been investigated by using two-dimensional Fourier transform frequency analysis. We found that the red optical component significantly increased the intensity and energy of the restored image as the image low-frequency signals were larger than the restored image using ordinary mixed white light, and moreover, the blue optical component decreased the low-frequency part of the image.

Analysis of genetic polymorphism is a powerful tool for epidemiological surveillance and research. Powerful inference from pathogen genetic variation, however, is often restrained by limited access to representative target DNA, especially in the study of obligate parasitic species for whichex vivoculture is resource-intensive or bias-prone. Modern sequence capture methods enable pathogen genetic variation to be analyzed directly from host/vector material but are often too complex and expensive for resource-poor settings where infectious diseases prevail. This study proposes a simple, cost-effective ‘genome-wide locus sequence typing’ (GLST) tool based on massive parallel amplification of information hotspots throughout the target pathogen genome. The multiplexed polymerase chain reaction amplifies hundreds of different, user-defined genetic targets in a single reaction tube, and subsequent agarose gel-based clean-up and barcoding completes library preparation at under 4 USD per sample. Our study generates a flexible GLST primer panel design workflow forTrypanosoma cruzi, the parasitic agent of Chagas disease. We successfully apply our 203-target GLST panel to direct, culture-free metagenomic extracts from triatomine vectors containing a minimum of 3.69 pg/μlT.cruziDNA and further elaborate on method performance by sequencing GLST libraries fromT.cruzireference clones representing discrete typing units (DTUs) TcI, TcIII, TcIV, TcV and TcVI. The 780 SNP sites we identify in the sample set repeatably distinguish parasites infecting sympatric vectors and detect correlations between genetic and geographic distances at regional (< 150 km) as well as continental scales. The markers also clearly separate TcI, TcIII, TcIV and TcV + TcVI and appear to distinguish multiclonal infections within TcI. We discuss the advantages, limitations and prospects of our method across a spectrum of epidemiological research.

Published: December 2020

Human head lice are blood-sucking insects causing an infestation in humans called pediculosis capitis. The infestation is more prevalent in the school-aged population. Scalp itching, a common presenting symptom, results in scratching and sleep disturbance. The condition can lead to social stigmatization which can lead to loss of self-esteem. Currently, the mainstay of treatment for pediculosis is chemical insecticides such as permethrin. The extended use of permethrin worldwide leads to growing pediculicide resistance. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the presence of the knockdown resistance (kdr) mutation in head lice populations from six different localities of Thailand. A total of 260 head lice samples in this study were collected from 15 provinces in the 6 regions of Thailand. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the α subunit of voltage-sensitive sodium channel (VSSC) gene, kdr mutation (C→T substitution). Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns and sequencing were used to identify the kdr T917I mutation and demonstrated three genotypic forms including homozygous susceptible (SS), heterozygous genotype (RS), and homozygous resistant (RR). Of 260 samples from this study, 156 (60.00%) were SS, 58 (22.31%) were RS, and 46 (17.69%) were RR. The overall frequency of the kdr T917I mutation was 0.31. Genotypes frequencies determination using the exact test of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium found that northern, central, northeastern, southern, and western region of Thailand differed from expectation. The five aforementioned localities had positive inbreeding coefficient value (Fis > 0) which indicated an excess of homozygotes. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of RS and RR showed T917I and L920F point mutations. In conclusion, this is the first study detecting permethrin resistance among human head lice from Thailand. PCR-RFLP is an easy technique to demonstrate the kdr mutation in head louse. The data obtained from this study would increase awareness of increasing of the kdr mutation in head louse in Thailand.

Authors: Saudek Kris , Treat Robert , Rogers Amanda , Hahn Danita , Lauck Sara , Saudek David , Weisgerber Michael
Published: December 2020

Objective

Based on a national survey of program directors we developed a letter of recommendation (LOR) scoring rubric (SR) to assess LORs submitted to a pediatric residency program. The objective was to use the SR to analyze: the consistency of LOR ratings across raters and LOR components that contributed to impression of the LOR and candidate.

Methods

We graded 30 LORs submitted to a pediatric residency program that were evenly distributed based on final rank by our program. The SR contained 3 sections (letter features, phrases, and applicant abilities) and 2 questions about the quality of the LOR (LORQ) and impression of the candidate (IC) after reading the LOR on a 5-point Likert scale. Inter-rater reliability was calculated with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC(2,1)). Pearson (r) correlations and stepwise multivariate linear regression modeling predicted LORQ and IC. Mean scores of phrases, features, and applicant abilities were analyzed with ANOVA and Bonferroni correction.

Results

Phrases (ICC(2,1) = 0.82, p<0.001)) and features (ICC(2,1) = 0.60, p<0.001)) were rated consistently, while applicant abilities were not (ICC(2,1) = 0.28, p<0.001)). For features, LORQ (R2 = 0.75, p<0.001) and IC (R2 = 0.58, p<0.001) were best predicated by: writing about candidates’ abilities, strength of recommendation, and depth of interaction with the applicant. For abilities, LORQ (R2 = 0.47, p<0.001) and IC (R2 = 0.51, p<0.001) were best predicted by: clinical reasoning, leadership, and communication skills (0.2). There were significant differences for phrases and features (p<0.05).

Conclusions

The SR was consistent across raters and correlates with impression of LORQ and IC. This rubric has potential as a faculty development tool for writing LORS.

Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that make use of the host metabolic machineries to meet their biosynthetic needs. Thus, identifying the host pathways essential for the virus replication may lead to potential targets for therapeutic intervention. The mechanisms and pathways explored by SARS-CoV-2 to support its replication within host cells are not fully known. Lipid droplets (LD) are organelles with major functions in lipid metabolism, energy homeostasis and intracellular transport, and have multiple roles in infections and inflammation. Here we described that monocytes from COVID-19 patients have an increased LD accumulation compared to SARS-CoV-2 negative donors. In vitro, SARS-CoV-2 infection were seen to modulate pathways of lipid synthesis and uptake as monitored by testing for CD36, SREBP-1, PPARγ, and DGAT-1 expression in monocytes and triggered LD formation in different human cell lines. LDs were found in close apposition with SARS-CoV-2 proteins and double-stranded (ds)-RNA in infected Vero cells. Electron microscopy (EM) analysis of SARS-CoV-2 infected Vero cells show viral particles colocalizing with LDs, suggestive that LDs might serve as an assembly platform. Pharmacological modulation of LD formation by inhibition of DGAT-1 with A922500 significantly inhibited SARS-CoV-2 replication as well as reduced production of mediators pro-inflammatory response. Taken together, we demonstrate the essential role of lipid metabolic reprograming and LD formation in SARS-CoV-2 replication and pathogenesis, opening new opportunities for therapeutic strategies to COVID-19.

Published: December 2020

The novel human coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a pandemic. Critical to the rapid evaluation of vaccines and antivirals against SARS-CoV-2 is the development of tractable animal models to understand the adaptive immune response to the virus. To this end, the use of common laboratory strains of mice is hindered by significant divergence of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which is the receptor required for entry of SARS-CoV-2. In the current study, we designed and utilized an mRNA-based transfection system to induce expression of the hACE2 receptor in order to confer entry of SARS-CoV-2 in otherwise non-permissive cells. By employing this expression system in anin vivosetting, we were able to interrogate the adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in type 1 interferon receptor deficient mice. In doing so, we showed that the T cell response to SARS-CoV-2 is enhanced when hACE2 is expressed during infection. Moreover, we demonstrated that these responses are preserved in memory and are boosted upon secondary infection. Importantly, using this system, we functionally identified the CD4+ and CD8+ structural peptide epitopes targeted during SARS-CoV-2 infection in H2brestricted mice and confirmed their existence in an established model of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis. We demonstrated that, identical to what has been seen in humans, the antigen-specific CD8+ T cells in mice primarily target peptides of the spike and membrane proteins, while the antigen-specific CD4+ T cells target peptides of the nucleocapsid, membrane, and spike proteins. As the focus of the immune response in mice is highly similar to that of the humans, the identification of functional murine SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell epitopes provided in this study will be critical for evaluation of vaccine efficacy in murine models of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

In this paper I would like to provide an insight into the multiple usages of institutional economic theories for assessing economic phenomena and economic processes such as the functioning of different subsystems of the economy and economic structures. I will base my argumentation on János Kornai’s lifework trying to emphasize the broad vision of systemic approach, the wide range of analysing tools provided by his theoretical thinking, and the high explanatory power of his theories. This paper is influenced and motivated by the launch of the book: Systems, institutions and Values in East and West, which is a rather thought-provoking and influential book, based on the application and reconsideration of Kornai’s theories with regard to the actual economic processes.

A jelenleg is zajló geopolitikai átmenet azt jelenti, hogy megszűnik a régi világrend, amelynek inherens része volt a háborús konfliktus, és amelynek keretében a társadalmi-gazdasági fejlődés nem lehetett békés folyamat. Ezzel szemben az új világrend, a globalizáció korában a hosszú távú cél nemcsak a jólét, hanem az értékrend egésze, a biztonság, a szabadság, demokrácia és a jólét következetes érvényesítése. Álláspontunk szerint a kínai gazdaságpolitika célja a globális partnerséghez való felzárkózás.

Published: December 2020

The prolactin gene (PRL) is a gene that controls the incubation and egg production in laying chickens. The nature of incubation will reduce egg production and disrupt the reproductive system in local chickens. The purpose of this study was to identify the polymorphism of prolactin genes in IPB-D1 chickens using the direct sequencing method. The polymorphism of the exon 5 prolactin gene was carried out on 46 samples of IPB-D1 chicken DNA which was a collection of the Division of Animal Genetics and Breeding, Faculty of Animal Science IPB. DNA sequences as a reference for designing exon 5 primers were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) with the GenBank access code: AF288765.2. DNA extraction was carried out using the phenol-chloroform technique. DNA amplification resulted in a PCR product with a size of 557 bp. In this study, the genotype frequency, allele frequency, heterozygosity value and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were calculated. The results of the study found 5 SNPs in exon 5, namely g.7823A>G, g.7835A>G, g.7886T>A, g.8052T>C, and g.8069T>C. All SNPs are polymorphic and in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium except g.8052T>C. The g.7823A>G, g.7835A>G, g.8052T>C SNPs are synonymous mutations that do not change amino acids, while the g.7886T>A and g.8069T>C SNPs are non-synonymous that change amino acids. Both g.7886T>A and g.8069T>C SNPs are potential as a marker assisted selection for the characteristics of egg production in IPB-D1 chickens.

reserva do possível como mecanismo de não implementação de direitos fundamentais
Authors: De Sousa Izabela Taíse Ferreira , Mascarenhas Igor de Lucena
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo versa sobre a aplicação da reserva do possível e a não efetivação do direito à saúde perante o Judiciário brasileiro. Assim, fazendo-se uso do método de abordagem dedutivo, dos métodos procedimentais histórico, interpretativo e analítico, do tipo de pesquisa exploratório e da técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica, o artigo visa discutir as bases da potencial escusa administrativa, posto que não haveria recursos suficientes para satisfazer todas as necessidades públicas. Em paralelo, debate-se o potencial empoderamento judicial ao reconstruir o orçamento. Por fim, são analisados os limites da atuação do Poder Judiciário na efetivação do direito à saúde e como se porta a jurisprudência brasileira no que concerne à alegação da reserva do possível por parte do Estado. Para além disso, observou-se que o Judiciário comumente se posiciona afastando a incidência dessa teoria no âmbito da saúde, concluindo-se, assim, que a reserva do possível não merece prosperar quando é utilizada de forma vaga e genérica.
Consecuencias del cambio climático em los mares y océanos
Authors: M. A. Godio Leopoldo
Published: December 2020

El cambio climático, resultante del calentamiento global, afecta no solo al medio ambiente, sino también a la dinámica del comercio internacional. Entre sus efectos, en las regiones polares, destacamos el aumento del nivel del mar y la alteración de las corrientes oceánicas. Esto llevó a la aparición de vías navegables en el Océano Ártico que pueden servir para fines comerciales al facilitar el transporte entre los océanos Pacífico y Atlántico. Ante este escenario y utilizando el método deductivo basado en el análisis jurisprudencial y documental, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo indagar en qué medida el caso Northwest Passage entre Estados Unidos y Canadá puede contribuir a la solución de las controversias que surgen a nivel internacional. sobre el derecho del mar y regular las prácticas comerciales marítimas. Se observa que, aunque de suma importancia, la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Derecho del Mar de 1982 no es suficiente para resolver el conflicto presentado, y es necesario promover no solo instrumentos normativos internacionales, sino también diplomáticos o foros especializados de tal manera que imposibiliten favorecer a un Estado sobre otro, así como brindar una solución híbrida, capaz de satisfacer los intereses de todos los Estados involucrados, que reconozca la navegación y produzca lineamientos y procedimientos para la protección de áreas marinas.
tempo do consumidor e o menosprezo planejado
Authors: Gomide Corrêa Bruna
Published: December 2020

A presente resenha tem como objetivo ressaltar os principais aspectos da obra de Laís Bergstein. A obra é fruto da tese de doutorado defendida pela autora  na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, sob a orientação de Claudia Lima Marques. Laís Berstein busca, ao longo da obra, analisar e desenvolver fundamentos para prevenir e compensar o dano pelo tempo perdido do consumidor quando o fornecedor menospreza de forma planejada as suas demandas. Nesse sentido,  propõe um duplo critério de avaliação da conduta do fornecedor com objetivo de verificar a existência desse tipo de dano ao consumidor: o menosprezo planejado. Para desenvolvimento dessa investigação, a autora busca analisar o valor jurídico do tempo sob a ótica do consumidor, os deveres de prevenção e reparação dos danos causados pelos fornecedores e a superação do menosprezo planejado pelas vias extrajudiciais e soluções alternativas como a mediação, a conciliação, a negociação e a arbitragem. Desse modo, a obra cumpre papel relevante em demostrar doutrinariamente a possibilidade de reconhecimento do dano temporal enquanto modalidade autônoma de dano no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, bem como apontar aportes teóricos que permitam maior segurança jurídica na caracterização desse dano através da análise do menosprezo planejado ao tempo do consumidor.
Análise do positivismo jurídico inclusivo e sua evolução depois de Hebert Hart
Authors: Lisboa de Bragança Ferro Luiz Bruno , Oliveira Passos de Bragança Ferro Sandra Regina

Desde o início do positivismo jurídico, o Direito busca uma forma adequada de solução dos conflitos, através de uma aplicação adequada da lei. Neste caminho, a forma de positivar a lei, de maneira tradicional, tendo como norte as teses clássicas da separação entre direito e moral, das fontes sociais convencionadas e da discricionariedade demonstraram não serem eficazes em casos, onde a lei é omissa, obscura ou contraditória e com isso afetando a segurança jurídica das decisões judiciais e na teoria geral do Direito, de forma a não realizar a verdadeira justiça e sim um sistema de decisões pautadas em formas inadequadas das práticas da hermenêutica jurídica. Como solução a este problema se apresenta o Positivismo Jurídico Inclusivo, para a melhor adequação do Direito à sociedade e sua dinâmica social contínua.

Jerarquizar la extensión universitaria desde la escritura académica. 10 años de +E: Revista de Extensión Universitaria
Authors: Iucci Cecilia
Published: December 2020

En esta sección se presentará el recorrido de 10 años de +E en el campo de la extensión universitaria.Inscripta en la política de comunicación e internacionalización de la extensión universitaria, se propuso constituir un espacio de debate y reflexión teórica, epistemológica y política sobre la forma de pensar y hacer extensión en Latinoamérica y el Caribe. Con la misma intensidad se planteó asociar la escritura académica a la función social desde la rigurosidad conceptual y argumentativa, que es una de las formas de jerarquizarla.Proyectar las discusiones en torno a qué universidad necesitamos, para quiénes las imaginamos, qué valores rectores las van a orientar, para qué modelos de desarrollo y democracia las proponemos y quiénes deben participar de ese debate, es la contribución a la que apuesta la revista.
Evolución de los derechos personalísimos a la esfera espiritual en el Código Civil y Comercial, y perspectiva de los mismos frente al avance tecnológico
Authors: Fabiano Aidilio Gustavo
Published: December 2020

El uso de internet, la expresión a través de las redes sociales, la inteligencia artificial, entre otros adelantos tecnológicos, conforman relaciones —entre las más generales— de la persona humana; y, por lo tanto, son reguladas por el derecho civil. Los beneficios de tales avances resultan innegables, pero a la vez, por ese medio, se advierten novedosos modos de ataque a los derechos personalísimos, en particular, a la esfera espiritual. Es común advertir lesiones al honor a través de comentarios agraviantes en las redes, invasión a la intimidad por la utilización de la inteligencia artificial, cyberespionaje, etc. Se mancilla la identidad digital, se cambia el destino de las imágenes almacenadas, entre otros menoscabos. El reconocimiento de los derechos personalísimos a la esfera espiritual en el CCyCN ha sido un hito importante para la protección de la dignidad personal, pero, luego de cinco años de vigencia de la codificación, surge el interrogante acerca del surgimiento de nuevas facetas de tales derechos lesionadas (derecho al olvido, a la desconexión, a la imagen digital, transparencia y responsabilidad en el uso de los algoritmos, etc.) y obliga a discutir nuevas alternativas de solución. En particular, cuestionarnos si las n ­ ormas relativas a la tensión entre estosderechos y la libertad de prensa resultan directamente aplicables al fenómeno de internet, o si por el contrario, resultan necesarias nuevas previsiones normativas.

Les écrits réflexifs à l’entrée à l’université : trois usages emblématiques du métier d’étudiant
Authors: Crahay Marielle , Dufays Jean-Louis
Published: December 2020

Dans cet article, nous nous proposons de discuter des liens entre langage et réflexivité à l’entrée à l’université à partir de trois usages de l’écrit (heuristique, épistémique, praxéologique). Ces trois usages permettent de saisir, d’un point de vue plus spécifiquement didactique, la nature et les enjeux du métier d’étudiant décrit par Coulon (1997). Les stratégies d'apprentissage en jeu dans la transition entre le secondaire et l'université, tout comme le processus d’affiliation intellectuelle, apparaissent alors comme des effets de la réflexivité des écrits : la saisie des enjeux du métier d'étudiant découle essentiellement de la mise en œuvre des pratiques langagières impliquées par la formation ainsi que des rétroactions et des interprétations qui s’opèrent à partir d’elles, et non de la conformité à un système de règles d’apprentissage édictées indépendamment de ces pratiques. Le propos qui suit s’attache à démontrer ceci, en décrivant et analysant les pratiques qui orientent et déterminent les enjeux du métier d’étudiant en matière de réflexivité.

Published: December 2020

Objective: We investigated racial differences in overweight and obesity among 4 subgroups: (1) Whites at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs); (2) Whites at non-HBCUs; (3) Blacks at HBCUs; and (4) Blacks at non-HBCUs. Methods: We conducted multivariable logistic regression using cross-sectional data to examine correlates of overweight or obesity by race and school type among white and black students (N = 260,719) who completed the American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment IIb from fall 2011 to spring 2015. Results: Among men, more Whites at HBCUs than Whites at non-HBCUs (22.22% vs 9.67%; p < .001) and more Blacks at HBCUs than Blacks at non-HBCUs (27.84% vs 16.64%; p < .001) had obesity. Among women, more Whites at HBCUs than Whites at non-HBCUs (25.82% vs 8.80%; p < .001) and more Blacks at HBCUs than Blacks at non-HBCUs (27.62% vs 20.58%; p < .001) had obesity. Overall, highest adjusted odds ratios for overweight and obesity were observed for Blacks at HBCUs (p < .001). Conclusions: Findings suggest the need for implementation of aggressive overweight and obesity prevention strategies for students at HBCUs. Additional research is needed to understand determinants of overweight and obesity among students at HBCUs.
Grenzen des Konsums im Lebensverlauf: Gelegenheiten, Hürden und Gestaltungsspielräume

Published: December 2020

Wie viel Konsum ist für ein gutes Leben mindestens nötig? Und wo verläuft die Obergrenze des Konsums? Antworten auf diese Fragen unterscheiden sich je nach gesellschaftlichem Milieu, aber auch je nach Lebensphase. So hat sich gezeigt, dass Jugendliche sowie Senior(inn)en
besonders offen für einen nachhaltigen und ressourcenschonenden Lebensstil sind. Nachhaltigkeitsforschung sollte daher verstärkt Erkenntnisse der Entwicklungs- und Biografieforschung in den Blick nehmen, um die Chancen für eine Begrenzung des Konsums zu erhöhen.
