DA TEORIA À PRÁTICA: TROFOBIOSE NOS SISTEMAS PRODUTIVOS AGROECOLÓGICOS
Authors: Vilanova C. , Siqueira Filho J. A.
Published: December 2023

A Teoria da Trofobiose vem sendo adotada de forma unânime nos estudos de Agroecologia, para elucidar as causas da incidência de pragas e doenças nos plantios e na orientação das práticas que proporcionem um adequado manejo agroecológico. O presente trabalho objetivou expor a aplicação prática da Teoria da Trofobiose nos sistemas produtivos agroecológicos, com base em resultados de pesquisas e conclusões de estudiosos da Agroecologia. Foram considerados argumentos diversos que demonstram como algumas práticas agrícolas causam desequilíbrios metabólicos nas plantas cultivadas, interferindo nos processos de proteossíntese e proteólise, disponibilizando aminoácidos e açúcares solúveis para alimentação de parasitas e patógenos, com sua consequente proliferação. Os aspectos apresentados enfatizaram os efeitos da adubação nitrogenada e do uso de agrotóxicos, as relações da saúde do solo e nutrição equilibrada das plantas com sua resistência fisiológica, as práticas de manejo agroecológico que proporcionem equilíbrio trofobiótico, e o necessário enfoque sistêmico no manejo produtivo pra que se alcance a estabilidade do agroecossistema. Considerou-se que para obter um estado de equilíbrio nas relações tróficas entre as plantas e seus parasitas e patógenos, o desenho do agroecossistema no processo de transição agroecológica deve prever a aplicação da trofobiose em todo o conjunto de práticas de manejo agroecológico que proporcionem condições de sanidade dos plantios.
Eskalation. G20 in Hamburg, Protest und Gewalt
Authors: Malthaner Stefan , Teune Simon
Published: December 2023

Der G20-Gipfel 2017 in Hamburg ist nicht wegen der vielfältigen Protestformen oder der dort verhandelten Themen in Erinnerung geblieben, sondern vor allem wegen der gewaltsamen Ausschreitungen und Konfrontationen mit der Polizei. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes analysieren die Dynamiken der damaligen Eskalation. Dabei rekonstruieren die Autor:innen Vorgeschichte und Verlauf der Gewalt und die Rolle der (sozialen) Medien, sie nehmen die politische sowie die rechtliche Aufarbeitung in den Blick und beleuchten den polizeilichen Umgang mit Protest. Die Ereignisse um den G20-Gipfel in Hamburg werden so zu einer analytischen Linse, um Eskalationsprozesse und das Verhältnis von Protest und Gewalt besser zu verstehen.

The aim of this research is to analyze the implications of career-personal life balance and work stress on turnover intention of PT Bank Sumut employees. The research population and sample were employees of PT Bank Sumut, with a population of 700 people, and a sample of 255 employees taken random proportionally to represent each division. The data analysis technique used Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Research findings proved that the career-personal life balance does not have significant implications for employees' turnover intention, while the work stress has a significant implications. The burnout  significantly moderates the influence of career-personal life balance and work stress on employees' turnover intention. It is recommended  to companies improve various conditions that can balance the careers and personal lifes of their workers, and reduce employee’s burnout. Further research is also recommended to explore other variables that contribute to reducing employee’s intention turnovert in other research locations whose characteristics differ from this research.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis pengaruh keseimbangan kerja-kehi­dupan pribadi dan stres kerja pada kecenderungan pindah kerja karyawan PT Bank Sumut.

This study aims to determine the Community Satisfaction Index (IKM) for health services at the Kamal Health Center.The research method used is a quantitative approach with a descriptive approach. This study involved 98 samples and was taken by accidental sampling. The data collection technique uses a questionnaire, which is then carried out a simple linear regression test using 9 elements as listed in the Minister of Agriculture RB Number 14 of 2017 concerning Guidelines for the Preparation of Community Satisfaction Surveys. The results of the study concluded that the Community Satisfaction Index at the Kamal Health Center had run very well, with an IKM conversion value of 84.28. However, there are still shortcomings in indicators of resolution time, handling of complaints, suggestions and inputs. Meanwhile, based on the test results, the correlation coefficient between variable X and variable Y gets a value of 0.635, which means it has a positive influence. So it can be concluded that, the services provided by officers have a positive effect on the community satisfaction index at the Kamal Health Center.

Published: December 2023

This mixed study analyzes the students’ perception about the use of Kahoot! and Jamboard in the teaching–learning process about the English language during the COVID-19 pandemic through data science. Kahoot! is a web tool that facilitates and promotes the participation between the educator and students through the realization of digital games and Jamboard is a virtual wall that allows the active role through the dissemination of information and exchange of ideas. The participants are 30 students of Design and Visual Communication who took the English Language course in the distance modality at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico, during the 2020 school year. The results of the machine learning technique indicate that the realization of digital games in Kahoot! and the dissemination and exchange of information in Jamboard positively influence the motivation, assimilation of knowledge and participation of the students during the Verbs Unit. Data science identified 6 predictive models on the use of these technological tools in the educational process about the English language through the decision tree technique. Finally, educators have the opportunity to create new virtual spaces and promote the active role of the students by incorporating Kahoot! and Jamboard in the school activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this study, samples were collected from the Java Sea coasts, from the South China Sea in Hainan Island coasts and Quảng Yên region and Rú Chá mangrove near Hue in Central Vietnam. In studied samples a total of eight Luticola species have been observed. Three of the taxa studied are described herein as species new to science – Luticola orientalissp. nov., L. cribriareolatasp. nov. and L. halongianasp. nov. Under light microscopy (LM) L. orientalissp. nov. and L. cribriareolatasp. nov. are similar with rhombic-lanceolate to rhombic/ elliptic-lanceolate to elliptic valve shapes and narrowly rounded apices. Both species can be easily distinguished by stria density (higher density in L. orientalis). Under SEML. cribriareolata is characterized by cribrate areola occlusions, a character thus far observed only in three established species. The remaining species of the whole genus known thus far are characterized by hymenate areola. Similar morphology Luticola species have been observed from tropical mangrove forests from Madagascar but they all can be easily distinguished based on the lack of grooves in the central area. The third species – L. halongianasp. nov. has rhombic-elliptic to rhombic-lanceolate valves with broadly rounded to slightly protracted apices in larger specimens. This species has a relatively broad central area. Also unique among brackish-water Luticola is the small, rounded stigma positioned almost midway between the valve center and valve margin. In the habitats from which the new species are described we also identified five established Luticola taxa including, L. belawanensis, L. celebesica, L. inserata, L. seposita and L. tropica. For those species we provide detailed SEM characteristics of valve ultrastructure, as well as the range of environmental conditions and geographic distribution within the study area.
A Call for Gene Expression Analysis in Whole Blood of Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) as a Biomarker for RA-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease
Authors: Wierczeiko Anna , Linke Matthias , Friedrich Johannes Peter , Koch Jan , Schwarting Andreas , Krause Andreas , Gerber Susanne , Gerber Alexander
Published: December 2023

Objective

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the most common and prognostic organ manifestations of RA. Therefore, to allow effective treatment, it is of crucial importance to diagnose RA-ILD at the earliest possible stage. So far, the gold standard of early detection has been high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the lungs. This procedure involves considerable radiation exposure for the patient and is therefore unsuitable as a routine screening measure for ethical reasons. Here, we propose the analysis of characteristic gene expression patterns as a biomarker to aid in the early detection and initiation of appropriate, possibly antifibrotic, therapy.

Methods

To investigate unique molecular patterns of RA-ILD, whole blood samples were taken from 12 female patients with RA-ILD (n = 7) or RA (n = 5). The RNA was extracted, sequenced by RNA-Seq, and analyzed for characteristic differences in the gene expression patterns between patients with RA-ILD and those with RA without ILD.

Results

The differential gene expression analysis revealed 9 significantly upregulated genes in RA-ILD compared to RA without ILD:arginase 1(ARG1),thymidylate synthetase(TYMS),sortilin 1(SORT1),marker of proliferation Ki-67(MKI67),olfactomedin 4(OLFM4), baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat containing 5(BIRC5),membrane spanning 4-domains A4A(MS4A4A),C-type lectin domain family 12 member A(CLEC12A), and thelong intergenic nonprotein coding RNA(LINC02967).

Conclusion

All gene products of these genes (except forLINC02967) are known from the literature to be involved in the pathogenesis of fibrosis. Further, for some, a contribution to the development of pulmonary fibrosis has even been demonstrated in experimental studies. Therefore, the results presented here provide an encouraging perspective for using specific gene expression patterns as biomarkers for the early detection and differential diagnosis of RA-ILD as a routine screening test.
La morale au risque de l’incivilité. Le cas des Réflexions ou Sentences et maximes morales de La Rochefoucauld
Authors: Stiker-Métral Charles-Olivier
Published: December 2023

La Rochefoucauld proclame dans le frontispice des Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales sa volonté de « dire le vrai en riant ». Si cette revendication peut inviter à y déceler une conformité avec l’esthétique galante, elle invite tout autant à l’envisager comme la résultante d’une énonciation satirique, contraire aux normes de la civilité. Au risque de passer pour importune, l’énonciation des Maximes propose de dépasser les limites de la civilité par le recours à une exigeante idée de l’amitié.

Published: December 2023

But de l’étude : Décrire le type d’urgences ainsi que la population prise en charge pour des urgences bucco-dentaires au Pôle de Médecine et Chirurgie Bucco-Dentaires de Strasbourg au cours de la période de confinement liée au COVID-19 du 17 mars 2020 au 9 mai 2020. Le parcours des patients et les données démographiques et cliniques de l’ensemble des patients s’étant présentés pendant la période étudiée ont été collectées par questionnaire et dans les dossiers médicaux. La douleur a été évaluée sur une échelle numérique. Les diagnostics et les prises en charge ont été divisés en classes cliniquement pertinentes. Pendant les 42 jours d’activité, 2 470 patients se sont présentés et 94.2 % d’entre eux ont été pris en charge. On observe une augmentation constante avec un quasi doublement de l’activité entre le début et la fin de la période. Une douleur d’intensité supérieure ou égale à 5 a été rapportée par 77.9 % des patients ; une douleur supérieure ou égale à 7 par 52.5 % des patients. La coordination entre les différents acteurs de ville et hospitalier est une nécessité pour prendre en charge les urgences bucco-dentaires au vu du nombre de patients concernés et des douleurs associées. Cette coordination a été particulièrement efficace pendant la période de confinement qui a entrainé un recours massif aux soins d’urgence, recours ayant augmenté constamment. Les consultations pour urgences bucco-dentaires ont été détaillées et nous avons confirmé que les intenses douleurs associées ne permettent pas de reporter leur prise en charge.

La pandémie de Covid-19 a entraîné une interruption des soins dentaires lors du premier confinement. Cette étude évalue les répercussions de cette période sur la perception de la santé orale et de l’accès aux soins dentaires en France. Une enquête par questionnaire a été menée (COVISTRESS) pour étudier le stress et les comportements de santé des adultes avant, pendant et après le premier confinement, soit au moment de la réponse. Un questionnaire « santé orale » a évalué l’évolution de la perception des difficultés d’accès aux soins dentaires. Entre novembre 2020 et avril 2021, 339 personnes ont répondu au volet « santé orale ». Le score de difficulté perçue d’accès aux soins dentaires (0 à 100) passe de 21,6 ± 26.7 avant la pandémie à 52,9 ± 39,5 pendant le confinement et à 38,1 ± 35,3 après celui-ci. Avant la pandémie, ce score est lié à une perception défavorable de la santé orale et aux difficultés d’accès aux soins de santé. Pendant le confinement, le score est lié à un besoin élevé en soins dentaires (RR=4,1 ; IC95 %=1,2-13,8), à la perception de difficultés d’accès au système de santé (5,06 ; 1,8-14,1), notamment des difficultés de déplacement (3,0 ; 1,1-9,1). Les facteurs expliquant l’évolution des difficultés avant et après le confinement diffèrent selon le temps d’évaluation. Cette étude montre les répercussions négatives de la pandémie sur la perception de l’accès aux soins, dans une population intégrant peu de personnes socialement défavorisées.
On the study of the recurrence relations and characterizations based on progressive first-failure censoring

Published: December 2023

In this research, the progressive first-failure censored data (PFFC) from the Kumaraswamy modified inverse-Weibull distribution (KMIWD) were used to obtain the recurrence relations and characterizations for single and product moments. The recurrence relationships allow for a rapid and efficient assessment of the means, variances and covariances for any sample size. Additionally, the paper outcomes can be boiled down to the traditional progressive type-II censoring. Also, some special cases are limited to some lifetime distributions as the exponentiated modified inverse Weibull and Kumaraswamy inverse exponential.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to reach a consensus among experts on the global health competencies for medical students in Korea.Methods: A global health competency model was developed to identify domains and competencies for medical education, and a three-round modified Delphi method was used to reach consensus among 21 experts on the essential global health competencies. The degree of convergence, degree of consensus, and content validity ratio of the model were used to reach a consensus.Results: A list of 52 competencies in 12 domains were identified according to a literature review. In the first-round Delphi survey, the global health competencies were refined to 30 competencies in eight domains. In the second round, the competencies were reduced to 24. In the final round, consensus was reached among the expert panel members, and the competencies were finalized. The global health competency domains for medical students include global burden of disease (three items), globalization of health and healthcare (five items), determinants of health (two items), healthcare in low-resource settings (two items), global health governance (three items), health as a human right (four items), cultural diversity and health (three items), and participation in global health activities (two items).Conclusion: The group of experts in global health achieved a consensus that 24 global health competencies in eight domains were essential for undergraduate medical education in Korea. The domains and competencies identified herein can be used to develop an undergraduate medical education curriculum in global health.
La production de la légalité dans la justice pénale argentine et les usages de la forme légale dans une perspective comparative
Authors: Eilbaum Lucía
Published: December 2023

À partir d’une ethnographie réalisée dans le
système de justice pénale de la province de Buenos Aires, en
Argentine, je me penche dans cet article sur une dimension que
j’appelle la production de la légalité dans les processus d’enquête.
En 1998, la réforme de la procédure pénale a renforcé le rôle du
Ministère public en séparant les pouvoirs d’enquêter et de juger, qui
étaient auparavant concentrés entre les mains d’un seul juge. Partant
de cette évolution, je cherche à montrer comment les procureurs et les
fonctionnaires de police s’efforcent d’adapter les différents procédés
d’investigation mis en œuvre dans la phase d’instruction de l’affaire
à la forme requise par la loi. Cette discussion s’appuie sur la
méthode de comparaison contrastive avec d’autres expériences
ethnographiques portant sur le système de sécurité publique et de
justice pénale à Rio de Janeiro. Par cette approche, j’entends
contribuer à montrer comment les différents usages de la forme légale
conduisent à des modes distincts de production de la preuve et de
relation entre les institutions du système judiciaire.

Cátaros en los Pirineos. Movilidades heréticas a través de un espacio fronterizo en construcción (siglos xii-xiv)
Authors: Chopo Carles Gascón
Published: December 2023

Los estrechos vínculos humanos, económicos y culturales tendidos entre ambas vertientes de los Pirineos a lo largo del siglo xii canalizaron la penetración del catarismo en el ámbito catalán, alcanzando su máxima expresión en la vertiente meridional de la cordillera durante el primer tercio del siglo xiii. La expansión del catarismo occitano en tierras catalanas se produjo sin grandes dificultades, pese a su limitado alcance, de la mano de unos predicadores itinerantes que no tuvieron mayores problemas en relacionarse con las comunidades locales. La introducción del Tribunal de la Santa Inquisición en la Corona de Aragón y su probada eficacia en la persecución de la herejía incidieron en su rápido retroceso, en paralelo a lo ocurrido en la vertiente norte de los Pirineos. Sin embargo, la organización de la Inquisición por provincias eclesiásticas y la paralela implementación de la frontera estatal pirenaica con el Tratado de Corbeil (1258), perturbaría en cierta medida esta acción inquisitorial y posibilitaría la existencia de un exilio occitano relativamente seguro en la Corona de Aragón, tal como recoge de un modo muy detallado el registro inquisitorial de Jacques Fournier, obispo de Pamiers, de principios del siglo xiv. El presente artículo propone el análisis de los efectos de la consolidación de esta frontera pirenaica en las dinámicas del catarismo a través de la cordillera en los siglos xii, xiii y xiv.
“Gestures of Air and Stone”: Translating Ethan Frome into Dance in Cathy Marston’s Snowblind
Authors: Chevrier-Bosseau Adeline
Published: December 2023

When choreographer Cathy Marston sought to translate Ethan Frome into dance, it was the “elemental feel” of the novella that inspired her quest for finding ways of dancing “New Englandly,” to paraphrase Emily Dickinson, and to choreograph what literature feels like. The very title of her piece, “Snowblind,” recalls the anthropomorphic (or rather, animalized) vision of the “outcroppings of slate” “nuzzl[ing] up through the snow like animals pushing out their noses to breathe” (Wharton, 1911 19): a face of stone half-buried in snow, whose orifices—eyes, ears, mouth—are covered by the falling snow that muffles their expression and their senses. Less than the story of a love triangle, Ethan Frome and Snowblind are both about thwarted emotions, affect trapped in stone, a stream of magma whose burning passions can only be expressed in stony, impenetrable silence—beneath verbal language, through sensations. This article retraces the presence of dance and somatic expression in Edith Wharton’s writing, in order to show how Ethan Frome could organically lend itself to a choreographic translation. After examining how American Delsartism and dance might have shaped Edith Wharton’s understanding of the physical expression of affect through non-verbal gestures of air and stone and influenced the composition of Ethan Frome, this article explores how Cathy Marston drew on the affective and sensory elements in the novella to propose her own somatic and choreographic reading, therefore offering readers and ballet audiences alike a reflection on what literature feels like.
Entrepreneurship and the Family
Authors: Abe Ethel Ndidiamaka , Eke Chidi Idi
Published: December 2023

Entrepreneurship and the family are fast becoming the linchpin of contemporary societies, especially since the global economic crisis of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic. Entrepreneurs confirm that support from family in addition to resources developed by the family has contributed to their ability to be resilient in crises and grow sustainable businesses. Policymakers thus need to create a favourable environment to enable societies to derive the benefits of the interplay between entrepreneurial activities and family support in times of crisis. This chapter aims to contribute to an understanding of how an integration of family resources into entrepreneurship positively influences socioeconomic development and fuels resilience and sustainability. As the environment continues to be volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous globally, this chapter provides a theoretical and practical understanding of the interplay between family and entrepreneurship, in generating socioeconomic development, through resilient and sustainable entrepreneurial activities.

Published: December 2023

Indian psychology is characterized by its diverse and rich traditions that have evolved over several centuries. This chapter tries to fulfill four objectives: 1) To provide a brief overview of the concept of self in Bhagavad Gita; 2) to give a brief overview of the two frameworks for moksha given in the Bhagavad Gita with the help of empirical evidence of current research; 3) to propose a conceptual model using Triguna Framework and Trimarg Framework; and 4) to provide the implications of the proposed model. The chapter begins with an explanation of the Indian philosophical understanding of self from the lens of Bhagavad Gita. In the second section, an effort has been made to compare and contrast the two frameworks given in Bhagavad Gita for Moksha. The last section introduces a conceptual model to enhance sattva guna and reduce the rajas and tamas gunas to attain atmabodha that can have positive psychological implications in modern times.
Teaching With Immersive Virtual Reality
Authors: Lee Sangmin-Michelle , Wu Junjie Gavin
Published: December 2023

Immersive virtual reality (iVR), an emerging technology, is starting to lead and shape the future of education. Yet, due to technical, financial, or pedagogical reasons, this novel technology has been seldom applied directly in classroom teaching by language learners and teachers. The present study attempts to contribute a qualitative understanding of language learning in the iVR environment from trainee teachers' perspectives. These trainee teachers, armed with basic pedagogical knowledge, designed and practiced teaching with a commercial VR platform. Through analysis of interviews and reflective journals, insights were gathered from the participants who organized teaching in a completely new setting. Findings suggested a great line of contributing and hindering factors of using iVR in language education from teachers' perspectives. Implications are discussed at the end of the article to guide future learning and teaching with immersive technology.
Prevalence of polypharmacy: a cross-sectional study in Singapore public healthcare institutions
Authors: Ho Hui Wen , Goh Leng Chuan , Tan Jiun Yu Christina , Chia Deborah , Sim Jun Long Marvin , Soong Jie Lin
Published: December 2023

Introduction:

Polypharmacy is associated with increased prevalence of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs), leading to higher risk of adverse drug events and medication errors. This study was the first multicentre cross-sectional study in Singapore that determined the prevalence of polypharmacy, its associated factors and the common drug classes involved, and evaluated prescribing appropriateness of drugs used by older adults.

Methods:

The prescriptions on two randomly selected days from five acute care hospitals and primary care polyclinics were retrospectively reviewed. Patients’ demographic characteristics, number of prescription line items and details of prescribed drugs were collected. Prescribing appropriateness was evaluated by identifying PIMs using the Beers Criteria. Logistic regression was used to assess the association of demographic characteristics and type of care setting with polypharmacy and PIM use.

Results:

Prevalence of polypharmacy was significantly higher in hospitals than in polyclinics (66.6% vs. 35.0%, P < 0.001). On the contrary, prevalence of PIMs in older adults with polypharmacy was significantly higher in polyclinics than in hospitals (34.6% vs. 27.1%, P = 0.010). Patients aged ≥65 years and hospitalised patients had higher odds of having polypharmacy than patients aged 21–64 years and polyclinic patients, respectively. Drugs used for chronic conditions commonly contributed to polypharmacy in both care settings. The top PIMs in hospitals and polyclinics were drugs for functional gastrointestinal disorders and systemic antihistamines, respectively.

Conclusion:

With the ageing population and growing burden of chronic disease in Singapore, increase in prevalence of polypharmacy is expected. More focus should thus be placed on reducing inappropriate polypharmacy.

W 1945 r. do Goliny przybyły Siostry Opatrzności Bożej. Podjęły pracę w przedszkolu, zakrystii i wśród osób chorych. W 1961 r. zostały zwolnione z przedszkola, dlatego zajęły się pracą parafialną. Siostry pracowały głównie z dziećmi i młodzieżą. W tym środowisku zrodziły się trzy powołania zakonne. Pochodzące z Goliny siostry zakonne realizowały cele Zgromadzenia Sióstr Opatrzności Bożej w różny sposób i w różnych miejscach, do których zostały posłane przez przełożonych. Artykuł przybliża trzy różne drogi realizacji powołania zakonnego, rozwoju osobistego oraz służby w zgromadzeniu. Życie sióstr opisywanych w artykule skoncentrowane jest na Bogu, szczególnie na tajemnicy Bożej Opatrzności oraz na służbie ludziom, do których owe siostry zostały posłane.

Введення в сортамент прокатних станів полегшених тонкостінних профілів, посилення допусків на розміри гарячекатаних виробів, а також збільшення продукції з легованих і важкодеформівних марок сталей зажадало від фахівців розв'язання низки завдань, пов'язаних із підвищенням стійкості валків, поліпшенням якості поверхні прокату і зниженням енергосилових параметрів. Одним із радикальних шляхів розв'язання цих питань під час гарячої прокатки є застосування технологічного мастила. Широкі промислові випробування подачі технологічного мастила в осередок деформації під час гарячої прокатки проведені на тонколистових безперервних станах 1680 комбінату "Запоріжсталь" і 2000 Череповецького заводу.
Планування та оцінка ризиків при розробці стартап-проєктів в умовах конкурентного середовища
Authors: Волошина-Сідей Вікторія
Published: December 2023

Сучасний стан економіки будь-якої країни, що позиціонує себе як ринкова, чи змішана, характеризується достатньо високим ступенем конкуренції, що постійно супроводжує розвиток підприємств, реалізацію нових бізнес-ідей, проектів та стартапів, а також, безпосередньо, процес реалізації товарів, робіт та послуг. З метою збереження і зміцнення позиції на ринку, підприємствам треба вирішувати одне з головних завдань, а саме: нарощення своїх конкурентних переваг, що неможливо без виявлення та оцінки ризиків та загроз діяльності. У статті визначено, що розробка та впровадження стартап-проєктів вимагає детального аналізу зовнішнього і внутрішнього середовища з метою виявлення та оцінки ризиків, що можуть виникати на усіх етапах реалізації проєктів. Ризики притаманні для усіх сфер діяльності і видів стартап-проєктів навіть при сприяючій розвитку бізнесу економічній ситуації, а в умовах військових дій, падіння економічно-фінансового потенціалу, ризиковість зростає врази. Розуміючи це, постає нагальна необхідність вчасного виокремлення ризиків, визначення їх ймовірності та якісної оцінки. У статті проаналізовано дефініції поняття ризиків та сформовано бачення цього поняття саме для стартап-проєктів в умовах конкурентного середовища. Удосконалено класифікацію можливих ризиків, що виникають при реалізації бізнес-проєктів у військовий час та з урахуванням зовнішніх факторів впливу. Розглянуто методи визначення та реагування на ризики, що виникають на різних стадіях розробки та реалізації проєктів. Досліджено найбільш дієві моделі ефективного управління ризиками та на їх основі сформовано алгоритм реагування на основні види ризиків підприємницької діяльності, що виникають у сучасних умовах.

La Constitución de Ecuador, como norma suprema, abarca la organización del Estado y los derechos fundamentales. Entre estos derechos, se incluyen algunos de gran importancia intrínseca, como la vida y la libertad, así como otros relacionados con procedimientos legales como la seguridad jurídica y los derechos de protección. La motivación se destaca como un pilar esencial del Derecho Constitucional, garantizando la justicia y transparencia en las decisiones judiciales y administrativas. La Corte Constitucional ecuatoriana, en su sentencia No. 1158-17 EP/21, ha introducido un nuevo enfoque en la motivación, abandonando el tradicional "test de motivación", que requería razonabilidad, lógica y comprensibilidad en las sentencias. Este cambio marca un hito significativo en la evolución del derecho constitucional del país.
