This study focuses on suitable site identification for constructing a hospital in Malacca, Malaysia. Using significant environmental, topographic, and geodemographic factors, the study evaluated and compared machine learning (ML) and multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) for hospital site suitability mapping to discover the highest influential factors that minimize the error ratio and maximize the effectiveness of the suitability investigation. Identification of the most significant conditioning parameters that impact the choice of an appropriate hospital site was accomplished using correlation-based feature selection (CFS) with a search algorithm (greedy stepwise). To model the potential hospital site map, we utilized multilayer perceptron (MLP) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) models. The outcome of the predicted site models was validated utilizing CFS 10-fold cross-validation, as well as ROC curve (receiver operating characteristic curve). The analysis of CFS indicated a very high correlation with R2 values of 0.99 for the MLP model. However, the ROC curve indicated a prediction accuracy of 80% for the MLP model and 83% for the AHP model. The findings revealed that the MLP model is reliable and consistent with the AHP. It is a sufficiently promising approach to the location suitability of hospitals to ensure effective planning and performance of healthcare delivery.

Published: March 2022

This study aimed to identify the effect of e-commerce and sustainability reporting on tax avoidance and firm performance, as well as determining whether organizational culture acts as a moderating variable in small and medium enterprises in Palembang, South Sumatera, Indonesia. Agency theory and stakeholder theory were employed as a framework. The questionnaires were distributed online to the owners of small and medium enterprises in Palembang; a sample of 211 respondents completed the questionnaire. Partial least square structural equation model regression was used to test and analyze the hypotheses. The results show that sustainability reporting and e-commerce have a positive effect on tax avoidance, while tax avoidance has a positive effect on company performance. However, organizational culture does not act as moderating variable to strengthen the effect of tax avoidance on company performance.
Compostable Packaging Waste Management—Main Barriers, Reasons, and the Potential Directions for Development
Authors: Raźniewska Marta
Published: March 2022

The paper aims to identify the main reasons for the low level of compostable packaging waste management and to propose potential directions for development. Based on qualitative research (individual in-depth interviews and focus group discussions using the Social Innovation Lab), these are: (1) the lack of uniform and transparent regulations regarding the planning and organization of a closed-loop system for compostable packaging, (2) insufficient communication between the private and public sectors on how to increase the use of compostable packaging, (3) poorly developed infrastructure for compostable waste recycling, and (4) a lack of financial incentives to support activities for the circular economy of composting packaging at the communal level. Moreover, the portfolio of bottom-up (initiated by consumers, educational institutions, and NGOs) and bottom-down dimension (national, regional programs) proposals are presented. The diagnosis of different view perspectives of the supply chain underlines the crucial role of stakeholder cooperation improvement.

Published: March 2022

Many aspects of wellbeing have been studied in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, studies that measure a comprehensive, multi-faceted conceptualization of wellbeing are rare. Using a broad conceptualization of wellbeing, based on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) wellbeing indicators and a theoretical model of wellbeing developed previously, this study empirically assesses the wellbeing effects of COVID-19 in Israel. A representative sample of the adult population in Israel was surveyed and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the impacts of the pandemic on a number of wellbeing indicators. Relationships among indicators were also analyzed. The study’s findings highlight the importance of social interactions, economics, mental health, and leisure on wellbeing. The study can be used by policymakers to fully understand the impact of various COVID-19 response policies on the wellbeing of the population.

Published: March 2022

In the recent digital age, information and communication technologies are rapidly contributing to remodel the media and journalism. Numerous technologies can be utilized by the media industry to capture news or events, taking footage and pictures of a breaking news. Technology and the media are interwoven, and neither can be detached from contemporary society in most nations. Unsurprisingly, technology has affected how and where information is shared. Nowadays, it is impractical to discuss media and the methods in which societies communicate without addressing the rapidity of technology change. Thus, the aerial journalism term has emerged, which refers to the ability of creating and conveying media content in a timely and efficient fashion. This work aims to integrate a drone with AI to empower aerial journalism via training a neural network to obtain an accurate channel using the NN-RBFN approach. The proposed work can enhance aerial media missions including investigative reporting (e.g., humanitarian crises), footage of news events (e.g., man-made and/or natural disasters), and livestreams for short-term, large-scale events (e.g., Olympic Games). In our digital media era, such a smart journalism approach would help to become far more sustainable and an eco-efficient process. Both MATLAB and 3D Remcom Wireless Insite tools have been used to carry out the simulation work. Simulated results indicate that the proposed NN-RBFN managed to obtain an accurate channel propagation model in a 3D scenario with a high accuracy rate reaching 99%. The proposed framework also could offer various media and journalism services (e.g., high data rate, wider coverage footprint) in timely and cost-effective manners in both normal scenarios or even in hard-to-reach zones and/or short-term, large-scale events.

Published: March 2022

The CO2 capture using adsorption can reduce the carbon footprint, increasing the sustainability of the process without the production of wastes present in commonly used industrial operations. The present research work analyses the effect of the doping-agents incorporation in carbon materials upon adsorption and separation of gases, specifically for carbon dioxide and nitrogen. The carbons precursor was polyacrylonitrile (PAN), which enabled the incorporation of nitrogen atoms in the structure, whereas sulphur doping was reached using pure sulphur after the carbonisation step. The influence of several variables (such as temperature or pressure) and characteristics of synthesised materials (mainly corresponding to surface characteristics) on carbon dioxide separation has been evaluated. Adsorption isotherms were determined for each gas (CO2 and N2) at different temperatures and pressures. Different adsorption models were evaluated to fit the experimental data. In general, the Toth isotherm described better the adsorption for both gases. Important parameters such as CO2/N2 selectivity and heat of adsorption were determined using the IAS theory and the experimental isotherms at different temperatures, respectively. Non-activated carbons generated from PAN carbonisation without sulphur addition showed the highest values of selectivity (up to 400) and adsorption heat (up to 40 kJ mol−1), mainly at low pressures and at low carbon dioxide uptakes, respectively. Furthermore, thanks to their high adsorption capacity, these carbons can be applied for carbon dioxide separation from mixtures with nitrogen.
The Sustainability of Market Orientation from a Dynamic Perspective: The Mediation of Dynamic Capability and the Moderation of Error Management Climate
Authors: Wang Yi , Xue Xianfang , Guo Han
Published: March 2022

In a dynamic, highly competitive environment, corporate strategies need to be re-studied. Market orientation reflects a firm’s emphasis on creating customer value and is an important factor for firms to build competitive advantages, it is crucial to understand the mechanism of market orientation on firm performance in a dynamic environment. In contrast to previous studies, this study aims to explain the impact of different types of market orientation on firm performance, and has two major contributions. First, it demonstrates the relationship between responsive, proactive market orientation and performance from a dynamic perspective, as well as the influencing mechanism. Second, the boundary conditions of market orientation are defined from the perspective of organizational culture. Findings of this empirical study of 336 firms show that: (1) both responsive and proactive market orientation have a significant positive correlation with financial performance and growth performance; (2) dynamic capability mediates the influence of responsive market orientation on financial performance, but shows a “suppressing effect” on the influence of responsive market orientation on growth performance, and in the relationship between proactive market orientation, financial performance, and growth performance, the mediating effect both are significant; (3) error management climate positively moderates the influence of proactive market orientation on financial performance and growth performance.
Automatic Design of Efficient Heuristics for Two-Stage Hybrid Flow Shop Scheduling
Authors: Liu Lingxuan , Shi Leyuan
Published: March 2022

This paper addresses the two-stage hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with a batch processor in the first stage and a discrete processor in the second stage. Incompatible job families and limited buffer size are considered. This hybrid flow shop configuration commonly appears in manufacturing operations and the batch processor is always the bottleneck which breaks the symmetry of processing time. Since making a real-time high-quality schedule is challenging, we focus on the automatic design of efficient heuristics for this two-stage problem based on the genetic programming method. We develop a hyper-heuristic approach to automate the tedious trial-and-error design process of heuristics. The goal is to generate efficient dispatching rules for identifying complete schedules to minimize the total completion time. A genetic programming with cooperative co-evolution approach is proposed to evolve the schedule policy automatically. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms both the constructive heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms, and is capable of producing high-quality schedules within seconds.
Using the Fractional Differential Equation for the Control of Objects with Delay
Authors: Zhmud Vadim , Dimitrov Lubomir
Published: March 2022

This paper proposes a new structure and substantiates the choice of a technique for controller design using fractional integration and fractional differentiation. The method of fractional integration is based on extrapolation using a series of integrating and differentiating links, the time constant of which changes symmetrically from one step to another. The new controller structure does not contain the three traditional links (proportional, integrating, and differentiating) but contains six links, three of which are incomplete integration, incomplete differentiation, and redundant (for example, one and a half) integration. The proposed technique consists of modeling a controller with the indicated six paths and using the numerical optimization method to calculate the coefficients of each such path. Alternative controllers are known PID controllers and PIλDµ controllers. Both of these species contain only three tracts. The proposed structure has never been used before, and publications with examples of calculation of such structures were not found in the literature. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by modeling and examples.
Allometry for Eyes and Optic Lobes in Oval Squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana) with Special Reference to Their Ontogenetic Asymmetry
Authors: Sakurai Yuma , Ikeda Yuzuru
Published: March 2022

Eyes develop in relation to body size and brain area for visual processing in some vertebrates. Meanwhile, it is well known that many animals exhibit left–right asymmetry in both morphology and behavior, namely, lateralization. However, it remains unclear whether the eyes and visual processing brain areas synchronously develop for their asymmetry. Oval squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana) exhibits lateralization of optic lobe volume and left or right eye usage toward specific targets during their ontogeny. We address the question of how left–right asymmetry of the eyes and optic lobes exhibit an allometric pattern. To examine this question, we estimated the left and right volumes of eyes and optic lobes using microcomputed tomography. We found that, for the optic lobe volume, the right enlargement that appeared at ages 45 and 80 days then shifted to the left at age 120 days. In contrast, the volume of eyes did not show any left–right asymmetries from hatching to age 120 days. We also found that the volume of the eyes and optic lobes showed a slower increase than that of the whole-body size. Within these two visually related organs, the eyes grew faster than the optic lobes until age 120 days. These results are discussed in the context of the survival strategy of oval squid that form schools, two months post-hatching.
Impacts of Longer-Term Exposure to AuNPs on Two Soil Ecotoxicological Model Species
Authors: Guimarães Bruno , Gomes Susana I. L. , Scott-Fordsmand Janeck J. , Amorim Mónica J. B.
Published: March 2022

The production, use and disposal of nanoparticles (NPs) has been increasing continuously. Due to its unique properties, such as a high resistance to oxidation, gold NPs (AuNPs) are persistent in the environment, including the terrestrial, one of the major sinks of NPs. The present study aimed to assess the effects of AuNPs (from 10 to 1000 mg/kg) on two OECD standard ecotoxicological soil model species, Enchytraeus crypticus and Folsomia candida, based on the reproduction test (28 days) and on a longer-term exposure (56 days), and survival, reproduction, and size were assessed. AuNPs caused no significant hazard to F. candida, but for E. crypticus the lowest tested concentrations (10 and 100 mg AuNPs/kg) reduced reproduction. Further, AuNPs’ toxicity increased from the 28th to the 56th day mainly to F. candida, as observed in animals’ size reduction. Therefore, longer-term exposure tests are recommended as these often reveal increased hazards, not predicted when based on shorter exposures. Additionally, special attention should be given to the higher hazard of low concentrations of NPs, compared to higher concentrations.
Removal of Ochratoxin A from Red Wine Using Alginate-PVA-L. plantarum (APLP) Complexes: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Castro Ricardo Ignacio , Laurie V. Felipe , Padilla Carlos , Carrasco-Sánchez Verónica
Published: March 2022

The presence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in wines is a problem mainly due to the health damage it can cause to frequent drinkers. A method for removing these toxic substances from wine is the use of lactic acid bacteria with mycotoxin-adsorption capacities; however, their use is limited since a matrix in which they can be immobilized, to remove them after use, is needed. In this study, L. plantarum (LP) was encapsulated in a polymeric matrix composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and alginate, forming alginate–PVA–LP (APLP) complexes. Then, these complexes were characterized, and assays of OTA and phenol removal from wines were performed. As a result, it was observed that the APLP complexes at a concentration of 0.5 g mL−1 removed over 50% of the OTA without substantially affecting the concentration of total phenols. In addition, it was determined that the presence of L. plantarum directly affected the ability to adsorb OTA from wines and did not decrease the total phenols. In conclusion, an alginate–PVA matrix allows immobilizing LP, and the complexes formed are an alternative for removing ochratoxin from contaminated wines.

Published: March 2022

The long-term storage stability of vaccines has a major impact on the roll-out and success of global immunization programs. For the Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine prototype evaluated here, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) results demonstrated a remarkable structural stability. VLPs maintained their integrity and the recognition of relevant B-cell epitopes for three months at 4 and −20 °C. Interestingly, most particles remained intact and preserved the recognition of relevant epitopes even after a week of storage at room temperature.
An Independent Study to Compare Compliance, Attitudes, Knowledge, and Sources of Knowledge about Pneumococcal Vaccinations among an Italian Sample of Older Adults
Authors: Suitner Caterina , Salvador Casara Bruno Gabriel , Maggi Stefania , Baldo Vincenzo
Published: March 2022

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the leading causes of pneumoniae deaths, especially among elderly individuals, with the vaccine being the primary prevention instrument. However, information on national vaccine coverage among the elderly population is scarce and sparse. Methods: A survey involved a representative sample of Italians older than 65 years (n = 600), who agreed to participate in the study through a phone interview. Participants’ self-reported pneumococcal vaccination status, vaccine literacy, information source, and risk perception related to the infection and to vaccines-adverse reactions were assessed. Results: The reported vaccination status is very low (11.2%), with respondents largely uninformed about vaccination opportunities. The results also show that the predominant (and most effective) source of information is healthcare providers, with vaccine hesitancy being positively linked to risk perception related to disease and negatively linked to risk perception of vaccine adverse reactions. Conclusions: This study suggests the need to collect data to systematically monitor vaccination coverage and calls for information campaigns to improve elderly literacy to increase vaccination uptake.
Compost Amendment Impact on Soil Physical Quality Estimated from Hysteretic Water Retention Curve
Authors: Bondì Cristina , Castellini Mirko , Iovino Massimo
Published: March 2022

Capacity-based indicators of soil physical quality (SPQ) and pore distribution parameters were proposed to assess the effects of compost amendment but their determination was limited to desorption water retention experiments. This study also considered the pore size distribution obtained from adsorption experiments to establish the effectiveness of compost amendment in modifying the physical and hydrological attributes of a sandy loam soil. Repacked soil samples with different compost to soil ratios, r, were subjected to a wetting–drying cycle, and the water retention data were fit to the van Genuchten model to obtain the pore volume distribution functions. The soil bulk density was minimally affected by the wetting–drying cycle but a significant negative correlation with r was obtained. The sorption process involved larger and more heterogeneous pores than the desorption one thus resulting in an estimation of the air capacity SPQ indicators (Pmac and AC) that were higher for the wetting–water retention curve (WWRC) than the drying one (DWRC). The opposite result was found for the water storage SPQ indicators (PAWC and RFC). In general, SPQ indicators and pore distribution parameters were generally outside the optimal range but estimates from the DWRC were closer to the reference values. The water entry potential increased and the air entry potential decreased with an increase in the compost rate. Significant correlations were found between the SPQ indicators estimated from the DWRC and r but the same result was not obtained for the WWRC. It was concluded that compost addition could trigger positive effects on soil hydrological processes and agronomic service as both water infiltration during wetting and water storage during drying are favored. However, the effectiveness of the sorption process for evaluating the physical quality of soils needs further investigation.
Sustainable Restoration as a Tool for the Improvement of Water Quality in a Shallow, Hypertrophic Lake

Published: March 2022

Sustainable restoration treatments were implemented with the simultaneous application of pro-ecological methods that complement each other to improve water quality in the shallow and heavily polluted Raczyńskie Lake. Phosphorus inactivation with magnesium chloride and Phoslock® was introduced along with biomanipulation. Physico-chemical and biological parameters were studied in 2015 (before restoration) and throughout 2018 and 2019 (during restoration). Water quality improved in the first year of treatment. An increase in water transparency, oxygen concentration above the bottom, a decrease of chlorophyll-a concentration and a reduction in cyanobacteria were observed. In the second year of treatment, a slight deterioration of water quality was recorded, probably caused by fewer phosphorus inactivation treatments and a shortened period of application. However, the deterioration of conditions is also characteristic of sustainable restoration at the beginning of the restoration process. The obtained results showed that sustainable restoration requires more than two years, and its scope and intensity should strictly depend on the pace of changes, determined on the basis of monitoring. In addition, improved water quality will have a positive impact on the recreational use of this reservoir.
Variations in Glacier Runoff Contributed by the Increased Negative Mass Balance over the Last Forty Years in the Tien Shan Mountains
Authors: Wang Hongyu , Xu Changchun , Ying Gang , Liu Fang , Long Yunxia
Published: March 2022

In the context of global warming, the melting of glaciers in the Tien Shan Mountains as the important “solid reservoir” in the arid area of Central Asia is accelerating in recent decades, leading to profound changes in regional water resources. Based on the simulated glaciological data from the Python Glacier Evolution Model (PyGEM) and the measured glaciological data from the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS), this paper analyzed the applicability of simulated data, the changes in glacier mass balance, and the responses of the glacier to climate change and its impacts on glacier runoff in the Tien Shan Mountains. The results show that (1) the PyGEM simulation dataset is in good agreement with the measurements, which can effectively reproduce the change in the glacier mass balance in the Tien Shan Mountains glaciers and is suitable for studying the regional scale glacier change. (2) From 1980 to 2016, the decadal average mass balance change rate of glaciers in the Tien Shan Mountains was −0.012 m w.e. yr−1. The regional mass balance showed an overall negative increasing trend (the area with increasingly negative accounted for 80.13% of the entire area), with a positive increase that only occurred in the West Tien Shan Mountains and western North Tien Shan Mountains (19.87%). (3) The correlation between the temperature and mass balance is much higher than that between the precipitation and mass balance. Temperature dominates the change and development of regional glaciers. The increase in negative glacier mass balance that was observed in the study area is mainly affected by the rising temperature, the decreasing solid precipitation in the accumulation period, and the rapid melting in the ablation period. (4) The glacier runoff in the six representative rivers showed an increasing trend. The contribution rate of glacier runoff to river runoff changed significantly after 2000 but differed among rivers. Overall, the larger the glacier area in the source region is, the greater the contribution rate of glacier runoff is, and the more the contribution rate continuously increases or fluctuates; otherwise, the contribution rate keeps declining, which means the runoff peak may have passed and future runoff may decrease.

Published: March 2022

Background

Colchicine has been proposed as a COVID-19 treatment.

Aim

To determine whether colchicine reduces time to recovery and COVID-19-related admissions to hospital and/or deaths among people in the community.

Design and setting

Prospective, multicentre, open-label, multi-arm, randomised, controlled, adaptive platform trial (PRINCIPLE).

Method

Adults aged ≥65 years or ≥18 years with comorbidities or shortness of breath, and unwell for ≤14 days with suspected COVID-19 in the community, were randomised to usual care, usual care plus colchicine (500 µg daily for 14 days), or usual care plus other interventions. The co-primary endpoints were time to first self-reported recovery and admission to hospital/death related to COVID-19, within 28 days, analysed using Bayesian models.

Results

The trial opened on 2 April 2020. Randomisation to colchicine started on 4 March 2021 and stopped on 26 May 2021 because the prespecified time to recovery futility criterion was met. The primary analysis model included 2755 participants who were SARS-CoV-2 positive, randomised to colchicine (n = 156), usual care (n = 1145), and other treatments (n = 1454). Time to first self-reported recovery was similar in the colchicine group compared with usual care with an estimated hazard ratio of 0.92 (95% credible interval (CrI) = 0.72 to 1.16) and an estimated increase of 1.4 days in median time to self-reported recovery for colchicine versus usual care. The probability of meaningful benefit in time to recovery was very low at 1.8%. COVID-19-related admissions to hospital/deaths were similar in the colchicine group versus usual care, with an estimated odds ratio of 0.76 (95% CrI = 0.28 to 1.89) and an estimated difference of −0.4% (95% CrI = −2.7 to 2.4).

Conclusion

Colchicine did not improve time to recovery in people at higher risk of complications with COVID-19 in the community.
La implementación de los Acuerdos de Paz de El Salvador desde la perspectiva de las víctimas
Authors: Deras Roberto
Published: March 2022

El conflicto armado que vivió El Salvador en la década de los ochenta dejó como resultado millares de víctimas civiles. La guerra finalizó a través de un proceso de negociación que se consolidó con la firma de los Acuerdos de Paz, entre la guerrilla del FMLN y el gobierno salvadoreño, en Chapultepec, México. Entre los principales objetivos de los Acuerdos, además del alto el fuego, la democratización del país y de garantizar el pleno respeto de los derechos humanos, incluía la reconciliación de la sociedad. Este artículo propone reflexionar, desde un marco teórico basado en categorías éticas, acerca de las carencias y oportunidades de los Acuerdos de Paz a partir de un acercamiento crítico a la implementación de estos. El análisis se lleva a cabo a partir del diálogo con víctimas inocentes provocadas por la violencia política ejercida por ambos bandos.
Integrating “storytelling” as a method in judicial processes?
Authors: Strandberg Hassellind Filip
Published: March 2022

This paper examines how Colombia’s Justicia Especial para la Paz (JEP) emerges as a tribunal within which the roles of history, politics, and transitional justice becomes contested. The paper starts by placing the JEP in a historical, social, and political context. Building on the contextualization, it focuses on how the JEP appears to be an extension of the five-decade long conflict in Colombia in its attempt to deal with the past. The paper underscores how punishing “bad” things is not an easy task. Against this background, the paper challenges the boundaries of criminal liability by discussing and analyzing “storytelling” as an alternative to truth-telling in the JEP in order to not only provide additional nuances to the conflict, but also as a way to, at least theoretically, tie different social collectives together in a post-conflict society and enable the courtroom to function constructively with difficult social issues in the aftermath of cataclysm.
Theoretical and methodological background on the economic attributes in the choice
of university career
Authors: Barrón-Palos Eduardo Javier , Salinas-Aguirre María del Consuelo , Uribe-Sierra Sergio Elías , Sierra-Castro Fatima Stephania
Published: March 2022

Economic, political and cultural changes show the choice of career as a latent and unfinished process at the conceptual level, given its important regional and gender edges. With the desire to know and segregate from among the investigations that link economics with career choice, the fundamental variables to describe, compare and then relate against attributes outside the combo, a conceptual mapping was elaborated on classic articles in these tasks. Finding that, the studies bifurcan defined not by the topics considered, but by their paradigmatic or disciplinary genesis. Thus, economists expose varied and elegant metrics, although often overestimated, since in their abstraction, the failure of qualification is reduced to a mere matter of cost-benefit. On the other hand, the works emanating from the vocational orientation, include more elements of analysis in the choice of career, but, often, they are questioned as perceptions economic attributes perfectly objectifiable in their instruments. The conclusions of the studies are disparate according to context, in some cases, the socioeconomic status and the professional labor market are neutral in the choice of career and school performance, while other chapters place them above the attitudes, aptitudes and academic preferences of the baccalaureate.
Deuda pública y neoliberalismo, los verdaderos peligros para México
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, Caballero Anguiano Francisco Javier
Published: March 2022

En pocos espacios de la política pública se constata con evidente claridad la visión fetichizada de la ortodoxia neoliberal como en la política de deuda del gobierno. Es frecuente encontrar calificativos como «manejo prudente», «señales del mercado» o «prácticas preventivas», como si de entes autónomos se tratara. El presente trabajo aborda, a través de la crítica de la narrativa oficial, el significado de la deuda pública en términos de las restricciones que impone al crecimiento de corto y mediano plazos, pero también desde la ideología neoliberal, la manera en la que se encubre con eufemismos y figuras retóricas que devienen en una maraña mental que ni los propios tecnócratas iniciados pueden descifrar y, menos aún, entender en su lógica economicista.
Dos espejos ante una realidad: reflexiones sobre la visión del Concejo Indígena de Gobierno frente a la coyuntura electoral en México
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, Delgado Wise Raúl
Published: March 2022

Transitamos por una de las coyunturas más complejas y preocupantes de la historia. Ante un escenario de muerte que tiñe de sangre al país y la humanidad entera, la vida misma está en juego. La preservación de la vida y la superación de la crisis tiene otros tiempos y otras geografías, más allá de la coyuntura electoral y de su desenlace. Es indispensable ampliar el horizonte para comprender la crisis del capitalismo y vislumbrar posibles alternativas. Este trabajo explora el significado de la participación de la vocera del Concejo Indígena de Gobierno, Marichuy, en la contienda electoral mexicana. Al tomar distancia de los plazos y tiempos electorales, reconocemos que los pueblos originarios han contribuido a desenmascarar la obra teatral que se representa en el escenario electoral y que con su resistencia y rebeldía nos han abierto los ojos para desentrañar la realidad, poner los pies sobre la tierra y contribuir a transformarla.

¿Hacia una transición urbana sustentable en América Latina?
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Delgado Ramos Gian Carlo
Published: March 2022

Dentro de la dinámica del cambio ecológico global, los espacios urbanos concentran los recursos materiales, medios de producción, infraestructura, población y estructuras de poder, en esa medida absorben grandes porciones de materiales y energía para generar la mayor parte de la riqueza, pero arrojan grandes volúmenes de residuos y gases de efecto invernadero. La tendencia al aumento de la urbanización reclama mejorar la planeación y gestión del espacio construido a escala espacial y temporal para transitar hacia la sustentabilidad urbana. El horizonte temporal se estrecha para encontrar soluciones y alternativas que permitan conservar las condiciones que posibiliten mantener la civilización humana dentro de las fronteras planetarias que soportan la vida. La disyuntiva es quedar atrapados en relaciones de producción funcionales a la acumulación de capital, con menos contaminación y más inclusión, pero inmersos en la lógica mercantil y la especulación, que no contribuyen a la sustentabilidad global y preservan las desigualdades o, por lo contrario, impulsar un proceso más profundo de transformación de las propias relaciones sociales de producción mediante espacios clave para la construcción de otras formas de producción y reproducción de la vida, en donde el derecho a la ciudad es uno de entre otros aspectos cruciales.
Morena y la «cuarta transformación» histórica de México

Published: March 2022

Ante el triunfo inobjetable de Andrés Manuel López Obrador, quien encabezará el nuevo gobierno mexicano para el periodo 2018-2024, un grupo notable de intelectuales, académicos y políticos se dio cita para discutir una serie de temas cruciales que habrá de afrontar el nuevo gobierno cuya insignia es la llamada «cuarta transformación», en alusión a un ciclo histórico de larga duración que incluye la Independencia, la Reforma, la Revolución —tres episodios que tuvieron como factor común la violencia política— y ahora la referida «cuarta transformación». Ésta deviene de un proceso electoral realizado de manera pacífica, el tercer intento, a la postre exitoso, luego de dos incursiones fallidas, marcadas por la presunción de fraude electoral. En el foro de análisis se pasó revista a los grandes desafíos de este gobierno y en este texto se hace una reseña de los grandes ejes temáticos del debate: derechos humanos, corrupción e impunidad y el tránsito de Morena, de movimiento social a partido político triunfante.

In this work, the phase transition of a highly disordered amorphous VO2 film is studied. It is found that the electronic transport behavior follows the Arrhenius or Vogel–Tammann–Fulcher model, showing different thermal sensitivity under different thicknesses. Based on it, the concept of a prototype device with overheating protection capability is demonstrated. The results, reflecting the relationship between phase transition and structural disorder, open up a unique pathway to understand the metal insulator transition in strongly correlated electronic systems and to its functionality in electronic devices.
