Diagnóstico del proceso de autoevaluación de los programas impartidos por el Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje (SENA)
Authors: Botero Sandoval Paola Alejandra
Published: July 2023

En el contexto actual existe la necesidad imperante de un sistema de educación superior con calidad, por lo que, el Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje (SENA) para dar cumplimiento a la normatividad nacional adoptó un sistema integrado de calidad que contempla: Gestión de la Calidad, Gestión Ambiental, Seguridad de la Información, Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo y Eficiencia Energética; sin embargo, se observa un incipiente nivel de desarrollo en lo pertinente a la autoevaluación de los programas de formación. Por lo que, este documento presenta los resultados del diagnóstico del proceso de autoevaluación para programas impartidos por SENA. Para lograrlo, se realizó una investigación práctica aplicada enfocada en diagnósticos (Vargas Cordero, 2009), con los siguientes objetivos específicos: i) Analizar la caracterización del sistema integrado de gestión de la institución para conocer el proceso de autoevaluación de programas de formación; ii) aplicar una entrevista grupal retrospectiva a 10 funcionarios encargados del proceso de autoevaluación para comprender el contexto institucional; iii) aplicar la metodología propuesta por Holistic Analytics for Learning and Operations (HALO) para diagnosticar la calidad de la información y el flujo de la misma, en el proceso de autoevaluación de programas de formación. De la investigación se pudo concluir que, la institución cuenta con acciones aisladas relacionadas con la autoevaluación de los programas de formación, lo que lo cataloga como una actividad transversal a la institución y colateral a los procesos misionales, restándole importancia y dejándola sin un marco normativo y operacional claro. Se recomienda entonces a la institución para fortalecer su proceso de autoevaluación de programas de formación, la implementación de una política de calidad y autoevaluación para los programas de formación, así como procesos y procedimientos claros con informes, evidencias y una batería de indicadores de gestión y cumplimiento, que a su vez, den cuenta de la naturaleza jurídica, identidad y tradición de la institución sin desconocer de un lado, el marco normativo nacional, pero teniendo en cuenta la autonomía institucional de acuerdo con el artículo 77 de la Ley 115 de 1994 y el artículo 28 de la Ley 30 de 1992. Además, que estén debidamente articulados al sistema de gestión de calidad y al mapa de procesos ya instaurados en la institución. Por último, se propone la adopción de la norma ISO SG Organizaciones Educativas 21001 que se centra en la gestión de organizaciones educativas bajo principios de calidad, cabe señalar, que si bien, es una norma independiente a la ISO 9001:2015, también reconoce los avances de las organizaciones educativas que la tengan implementada para sus sistemas de gestión , como es el caso del SENA, por lo que, se podría optimizar tiempo y recursos institucionales.

So You Want to Run a Sexuality Research Lab: Ethical Issues and Recommendations
Authors: Klement Kathryn
Published: July 2023

Sexuality research engages with multiple disciplines and methodologies and sexuality researchers can receive a wide range of training. Though a common job duty for academics, researchers rarely receive formal training in how to establish and run a lab to conduct their research. In this paper, I walk through a variety of lab management tasks, such as selecting personnel, launching a program of research, conducting studies, and disseminating findings, and discuss ethical dilemmas that might arise in each of those in the context of sexuality research, such as befriending research assistants, conducting observational field research, and presenting negative results. I also provide specific recommendations for academics looking to establish a lab focused on gender and sexuality topics.

Authors: GÜLSEVEN Tuğba , OKCU Melih
Published: July 2023

In this study, which was carried out in Erzurum conditions to utilize cowpea cultivars and a cowpea landrace sown at different times as feed crops and determine some of their characteristics, 5 genotypes including 4 different cowpea cultivars (Akkız-86, Karagöz-86, Karnıkara, and Ülkem) and 1 landrace (red cowpea) were used, and treatment groups with 3 different sowing times (25 April, 10 May, and 25 May) were formed. The study was conducted with the Randomized Complete Block Design and 4 replicates. According to the results, after the sowing of the cowpea cultivars and landrace at different times, the ranges of the values were 21.50-90.50 cm for plant height, 11.50-25.25 cm for first pod height, 8.25-18.75 cm for pod length, 1.75-19.00 for number of pods, 1.50-13.75 for number of seeds per pod, 935-3537.55 kg/daa for green herbage yield, 157.40-760.38 kg/daa for dry herbage yield, 8.93-12.27% for crude protein ratio, 16.48-26.71% for ADF ratio, and 21.89-36.99% for NDF ratio. Among the sowing times, the dates 25 April and 10 May were prominent. Consequently, the treatment at the sowing time of 25 April was found optimal in terms of the green herbage yield, crude protein ratio, ADF, and NDF values in terms of the identification of sowing times of the plant as a feed crop in Erzurum conditions. Among the cultivars, the Ülkem cultivar and the red cowpea landrace provided the best results as feeds.

Authors: KÖKTEN Kağan , TAŞDEMİR Volkan
Published: July 2023

The study was carried out in the natural pasture of the Savucak village of Karakoçan district in Elazığ province in 2021 and 2022. The aim of the study is to determine the macro element contents of the herbages of the pasture where five different nitrogen doses (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 kg da-1) and phosphorus (0, 4, 8, 12, 16 kg da-1) were applied. Calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) levels were determined in the herbages cut from the pasture. The determination of Ca, Mg, K and P in dried and ground herbs was made by ICP-MS and the research was carried out in randomized blocks with three replications in accordance with a two-factor factorial experiment design. In the study, it was determined that the effect of increasing nitrogen and phosphorus doses on the macro element contents of pasture herbage was statistically significant. It was observed that Ca, Mg, K and P contents of pasture herbage decreased with the increase of phosphorus doses applied to the pasture, and macro element contents increased with the increase of nitrogen doses. It was determined that the Ca, Mg, K and P contents increased with the increase of the nitrogen dose, but the increase in the phosphorus ratio did not have any effect on the Ca, Mg, K and P contents of the pasture herbage. According to the results obtained from the research, it was concluded that 10 kg da-1 nitrogen and 4 kg da-1 phosphorus fertilization is appropriate in Elazig and pastures with similar ecologies.

Abstract. Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) play a pivotal role in the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Therefore, the distribution and yields of HOMs are fundamental to understand their fate and chemical evolution in the atmosphere, and it is conducive to ultimately assess the impact of SOA on air quality and climate change. In this study, gas-phase HOMs formed from the reaction of limonene with OH radicals in photooxidation were investigated with SAPHIR (Simulation of Atmospheric PHotochemistry In a large Reaction chamber), using a time-of-flight chemical ionization mass spectrometer with nitrate reagent ion (NO3--CIMS). A large number of HOMs, including monomers (C9–10) and dimers (C17–20), were detected and classified into various families. Both closed-shell products and open-shell peroxy radicals (RO2) were identified under low NO (0.06–0.1 ppb) and high NO conditions (17 ppb). C10 monomers are the most abundant HOM products and account for over 80 % total HOMs. Closed-shell C10 monomers were formed from a two peroxy radical family, C10H15Ox⚫ (x=6–15) and
C10H17Ox⚫ (x=6–15), and their respective
termination reactions with NO, RO2, and HO2. While
C10H17Ox⚫ is likely formed by OH addition to
C10H16, the dominant initial step of limonene plus OH,
C10H15Ox⚫, is likely formed via H abstraction by OH. C10H15Ox⚫ and related products contributed 41 % and 42 % of C10 HOMs at low and high NO, demonstrating that the H-abstraction pathways play a significant role in HOM formation in the reaction of limonene plus OH. Combining theoretical kinetic calculations, structure–activity relationships (SARs), data from the literature, and the observed RO2 intensities, we proposed tentative mechanisms of HOM formation from both pathways. We further estimated the molar yields of HOMs to be 1.97-1.06+2.52 % and 0.29-0.16+0.38 % at low and high NO, respectively. Our study highlights the importance of H abstraction by OH and provides the yield and tentative pathways in the OH oxidation of limonene to simulate the HOM formation and assess the role of HOMs in SOA formation.

Published: July 2023

Abstract. High-resolution temperature reconstructions in the previous millennium are limited in Northeast Asia, but they are important for assessing regional climate dynamics. Here, we present, for the first time, a 202-year reliable reconstruction of April temperature changes before the millennium volcanic eruption in 946 CE using tree rings of carbonized logs buried in the tephra in Changbai Mountain, Northeast Asia. The reconstructed temperature changes were consistent with previous reconstructions in China and the Northern Hemisphere. The influences of large-scale oscillations (e.g. El Niño–Southern Oscillation, ENSO) on temperature variability were not significantly different between the periods of 745–946 CE preceding the eruption and 1883–2012. However, compared to the palaeotemperature of the previous millennium, the temperature changes were more complex with stronger temperature fluctuations, more frequent temperature abruption, and a weaker periodicity of temperature variance during the last 130 years. These recent changes correspond to long-term anthropogenic influences on regional climate.

Abstract. The analysis of biological and ecological traits has a
long history in evolutionary and ecological research. However, trait data
are often scattered and standardised terminology that transcends taxonomic
and biogeographical context are generally missing. As part of the
development of a global trait database of marine species, we collated trait
information for European seaweeds and structured the data within the
standardised framework of the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). We
collected 45 175 trait records for 21 biologically and ecologically relevant
traits of seaweeds. This resulted in a trait database for 1745 European
seaweed species of which more than half (56 %) of the records were
documented at the species level, while the remaining 44 % were documented
at a higher taxonomic level and subsequently inherited at lower levels. The
trait database for European seaweeds will serve as a foundation for future
research on diversity and evolution of seaweeds and their responses to
global changes. The data will contribute to developing detailed trait-based
ecosystem models and will be an important tool to inform marine
conservation policies. The data are publicly accessible through the
AlgaeTraits portal, https://doi.org/10.14284/574 (AlgaeTraits, 2022).
An ensemble of 48 physically perturbed model estimates of the 1∕8° terrestrial water budget over the conterminous United States, 1980–2015

Published: July 2023

Abstract. Terrestrial water budget (TWB) data over large domains are of high interest for various hydrological applications. Spatiotemporally continuous and physically consistent estimations of TWB rely on land surface models (LSMs). As an augmentation of the operational North American Land Data Assimilation System Phase 2 (NLDAS-2) four-LSM ensemble, this paper describes a dataset simulated from an ensemble of 48 physics configurations of the Noah LSM with multi-physics options (Noah-MP). The 48 Noah-MP physics configurations are selected to give a representative cross-section of commonly used LSMs for parameterizing runoff, atmospheric surface layer turbulence, soil moisture limitation on photosynthesis, and stomatal conductance. The dataset spans from 1980 to 2015 over the conterminous United States (CONUS) at a monthly temporal resolution and a 1/8∘ spatial resolution. The dataset variables include total evapotranspiration and its constituents (canopy evaporation, soil evaporation, and transpiration), runoff (the surface and subsurface components), as well as terrestrial water storage (snow water equivalent, four-layer soil water content from the surface down to 2 m, and the groundwater storage anomaly). The dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7109816 (Zheng et al., 2022). Evaluations carried out in this study and previous investigations show that the ensemble performs well in reproducing the observed terrestrial water storage, snow water equivalent, soil moisture, and runoff. Noah-MP complements the NLDAS models well, and adding Noah-MP consistently improves the NLDAS estimations of the above variables in most areas of CONUS. Besides, the perturbed-physics ensemble facilitates the identification of model deficiencies. The parameterizations of shallow snow, spatially varying groundwater dynamics, and near-surface atmospheric turbulence should be improved in future model versions.

Published: July 2023

Tambong Village is a regional unit in Banyuwangi Regency, which was currently a priority for the government to develop because it has potential that needs to be explored and developed to improve its citizens' welfare. Likewise, the development of human resources in rural areas should be prioritized so that regional competitiveness increases. One of the things that can trigger increased competitiveness between villages is to utilize information technology to provide information to residents and the broader community about what is in the village (for example, tourist attractions). For this reason, a website page is needed to convey information, and this page can also be used to report activities or other information to increase community enthusiasm to participate in the activities carried out. However, the village website page that has been provided has yet to be filled in with a content management system, so it cannot display information on activities and tourist attractions in Tambong village. It is because the village officials in charge of managing the village website still need more knowledge about the technical management of the information on the website. In addition, village officials also need knowledge and skills so that the information conveyed on the website can be packaged in an informative manner. Based on the needs of Tambong Village officials, this community service activity will train village officials on how to manage the website and use the Google Maps application so that the village website can be continuously updated and maximized to display quality information to the community and become information media to attract tourists to Tambong Village tourist attractions. After undergoing training, village officers were assigned to create website content, and villagers were asked to assess the quality of the content through a survey. The survey consisted of 9 questions and was conducted on 20 village residents. The survey results showed that the quality of the content created by the village officers was already good.

Authors: Umar Zulkifli , Ardan M. , Ariestantia Dwi Riyan
Published: July 2023

Reloud aims to foster students' love for reading. Indonesian adolescent sexual reproductive health research states that 10% of those aged 15-24 have had premarital sex, used condoms (49% of women & 27% of men), had unwanted pregnancies 24%, knowing that their friends had abortions ( 23% of girls and 19% of boys) and 15% of them consume alcohol, this is influenced by various factors, one of which is the lack of information about adolescent reproductive health. Literacy in Indonesia is included in the low category (37.32%), so efforts to increase literacy are very urgent to be carried out as an effort to improve the quality of the Indonesian nation's resources. The target population in this study was health-based senior high school students in Samarinda City. The design of this study used a Quasi Experiment with a pre-posttest approach with a control group design. Samples were taken from as many as 3 (three) health-based schools in Samarinda city with a purposive sampling of 60 respondents. Characteristics of the dominant respondent are 16 years old (31.6%), female (65%), and in class X (38.3%). The results of data analysis on differences in the level of adolescent reproductive health knowledge obtained a p-value of 0.826 if no intervention was given, a p-value of 0.153 if given 1 (one) intervention, and a p-value of 0.001 if given 2 (two) Reloud interventions. Of the three groups that described the effectiveness of the Reloud intervention method, it occurred significantly in increasing adolescent knowledge related to reproductive health by a p-value of 0.031 so this method is one that can be applied to adolescents.
La normalización de prácticas de abuso y acoso sexual en el deporte un acercamiento a los equipos deportivos en la comunidad de Madrid
Authors: Blanco García Marta Eulalia
Published: July 2023

El abuso y el acoso sexual contra las mujeres se encuentran entre las problemáticas que más preocupación suscitan en nuestra vida pública. En los últimos años el contexto deportivo ha asistido a diversos casos que han puesto en evidencia su inseguridad en este aspecto, provocando un creciente interés de las instituciones en su prevención, principalmente en la infancia. Sin embargo, todavía persiste un desconocimiento sociológico del espacio y las lógicas de vulnerabilidad que suscitan realidades tan preocupantes, no sólo en la infancia, como sobre todo en la adolescencia y la juventud, donde esta atención comienza a disiparse.

Este artículo busca precisamente el acercamiento cualitativo a las dinámicas sexo-afectivas en los equipos deportivos en edades jóvenes, con la finalidad de señalar aquellas prácticas de acoso que, si bien son identificadas en otros espacios públicos, llegan a normalizarse en el deporte. Estudiando las formas de organización jerárquicas en estos equipos, los valores de respeto a la autoridad y la concentración del poder en la figura del/a entrenador/a, así como las especiales sensibilidades y cercanías que se viven en tres disciplinas deportivas de equipo que implican contacto en su práctica (fútbol, baloncesto y rugby), se señalarán aspectos de especial incidencia en la construcción de las afectividades, vínculos y relaciones, con importantes confusiones en cuanto a los límites de los encuentros, que podrían dificultar la visibilización de espacios de incomodidad y, en último caso, acoso sexual.

El Quimbo, paisaje del despojo y desterritorialización: el caso de las familias de Escalereta
Authors: Sánchez Castillo Verenice , Mora Castaño Juan Sebastián , Millán Rojas Edwin Eduardo
Published: July 2023

Las hidroeléctricas en Colombia han generado diferentes impactos sociales y económicos en los territorios de su influencia; los procesos de despojo y desterritorialización desencadenados son parte de sus efectos. En los medios de comunicación, usualmente se conocen los resultados de lo visible, de la exuberancia de las obras de infraestructura y de los megavatios que genera la represa. No obstante, no se tienen claridades acerca de lo que está atrás de ello, por ejemplo, lo que sienten y piensan los directamente afectados, pues, una vez concluida la fase de construcción, entra la operación y el olvido hace lo suyo. El presente trabajo se realizó en Nueva Escalereta, un poblado que se configuró con familias reubicadas por la empresa Emgesa, encargada de la represa El Quimbo. El método de trabajo se basó en entrevistas a profundidad y, para el análisis, se empleó la semiótica como encuadre metodológico. Dentro de los principales hallazgos, se tiene que las familias de Escalereta aún se debaten entre la superación del despojo y la desterritorialización, loque no las deja avanzar en la concepción de su nueva forma de vida, sueños y anhelos. Infortunadamente, las pugnas de poder entre el gobierno y la lucha social siempre se han dirimido empleando mecanismos diferentes al diálogo; cuando un proyecto de una multinacional llega a un territorio, poco es lo que ya se puede hacer.

Para ello, se utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo, empleando la encuesta como instrumento para la recolección de información. Dentro de los resultados identificados, se tiene que un alto porcentaje de los trabajadores de la empresa desconoce el mecanismo de protección, razón por la cual se sugirió la implementación de estrategias para sensibilizar y socializar a los trabajadores frente al acceso a los servicios, en caso de requerirlos, tanto por parte de la Caja de Compensación Familiar como de los empleadores.
La necesidad de la planeación estratégica para la profesionalización de la pequeña y mediana empresa (pyme)
Authors: Aponte López Andrés Camilo
Published: July 2023

Frente a los actuales retos externos e internos que enfrentan las pequeñas y medianas empresas (en adelante, pymes), surge la necesidad de iniciar un proceso de profesionalización que les ayude a superar las crisis. Dicho proceso incluye múltiples variables que deben ser desarrolladas y la planeación estratégica se erige como una herramienta importante para la toma de decisiones. De esta manera, el presente artículo de tipo cualitativo y de revisión sistémica, pretende exponer la necesidad de formular e implementar la planeación estratégica en el proceso de profesionalización de la pyme, junto con la definición, la importancia y un esquema básico de la estrategia. Dentro de los hallazgos se destaca que las pymes generalmente no se preocupan por trabajar esta área que da soporte a la gerencia, sino que prefieren conducirse por la intuición del director o con base en lo que hacen las empresas líderes de su sector. Se concluye que el futuro no puede ser enfrentado a ciegas; es necesario implementar esta herramienta para tomar decisiones con un criterio centrado en la realidad, la racionalidad y la ciencia.
Configuraciones del nacionalismo a mediados del siglo XX Itinerarios intelectuales e instituciones culturales : la experiencia mendocina en la encrucijada nacional e internacional
Authors: María Celina Fares
Published: July 2023

El propósito de esta tesis es iluminar momentos en los que se perfilaron los tránsitos y las modulaciones que configuraron diversas expresiones del nacionalismo a mediados del siglo XX, observando la trama de una cultura política local que, si bien comparte redes de sociabilidad y contenidos simbólicos identitarios, se vería atravesada y quebrada por el impacto de la conflictividad política nacional e internacional durante los largos años sesenta. A partir del estudio de itinerarios intelectuales y de la reconstrucción de experiencias colectivas insertas en las dinámicas institucionales universitarias y periodísticas mendocinas, se pretende dar cuenta de las distintas escenas temporales y argumentales del nacionalismo local, en su mayor parte identificadas con el catolicismo, perfiladas al calor de las sucesivas confrontaciones políticas, entre peronismo/antiperonismo, derechas e izquierdas,en el marco de los procesos de modernización y dependencia que se debaten en América Latina y de la confrontación entre comunismo y capitalismo en el contexto de la Guerra Fría. La hipótesis inicial prefigura que, dentro del espectro de intelectuales identificados con el nacionalismo y en gran parte con el catolicismo, se genera un magma de representaciones cuyo potencial interpretativo alentaría distintas derivas ideológicas hacia la derecha y también hacia la izquierda marcadas por la conflictividad política nacional e internacional. Para comprobar esta suposición trabajamos en la identificación de un grupo de intelectuales, académicos y publicistas que tuvieron una notoria actuación en la configuración de las humanidades y las ciencias políticas y sociales de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (UNCuyo) y en los debates político ideológicos planteados en el espacio público local, a través las páginas del diario El Tiempo de Cuyo. La propuesta de indagación surgió a partir de una serie de interrogantes sobre la existencia, la pervivencia y la influencia del nacionalismo católico en Mendoza, cuestiones que propone responder esta investigación a través de distintas dimensiones de análisis. Párrafo extraído de la tesis de doctorado a modo de resúmen.
Experimental Investigation on Recovery of Micro Hydropower Dump Load through Oil Heating System
Authors: Kihedu Joseph H. , Mnkemi Goefrey E. , Kimambo Cuthbert Z. M.
Published: July 2023

Micro hydropower power generates electrical energy to meet connected electrical demand, that normally fluctuates causing imbalances. Electronic load controller is then used to balance power system by diverting surplus generated power to the dump load commonly resistive load such as bulk water heater. This study investigated use of oil heating system as a replacement for conventional resistive dump load. In comparison to water, oil has high thermal retention therefore can serve as good thermal media. Dump load range ranged between 17 kW to 78 kW. A 6-kW electrical heater was used for laboratory oil heating system from which heated oil attained about 10,791 MJ in 31.5 minutes. Thermal stratification between upper layers and the lower layers of oil in storage tank decreases from 3.8°C to 3.4°C as oil temperature increases from 100°C to 200°C, respectively. Energy dissipated through dump load from micro hydropower plants is sufficient for domestic energy consumption including cooking.
Factors Influencing Farmers’ Choices of Responses to Climatic Stressors in Tanzania
Authors: Pauline Noah Makula
Published: July 2023

The viability of food production by smallholder farmers in Tanzania's semi-arid regions is threatened by climate variability and change. This study's main goal was to comprehend the available options for farmers in Tanzania's Great Ruaha River Sub-Basin and the factors that influenced their decisions. We used both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Primary data were gathered through focus groups and household questionnaire surveys, while secondary data came from records collected by government organizations. A logistic regression analysis was undertaken so as to determine factors that influence smallholder farmers’ perceptions and choice of response measures during dry years. Smallholder farmers mostly relied on their prior knowledge and locally accessible resources when developing their response strategies. Findings indicate that climate awareness, gender, age, education level, village location, wealth rank, and farmer experience are factors that have a substantial impact on farmers' decisions regarding choice of adaptation strategies to climate change. Therefore, decision-makers at all levels of government, from local authorities to the national level, should play a crucial role in improving adaptation strategies appropriate for a given climatic shock on the research area. The study suggests that GRRB farmers increase their knowledge and understanding of climate change. In order to successfully adapt to climate change, farmers should also work to create associations that will operate as a forum for knowledge exchange about indigenous farming techniques.

Authors: Mbare Consolatha , Said Mahir , Minja Rwaichi
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to determine levels of cyanide (CN) pollution in the soil and surface water at selected mining sites of Mbeya region. A total of (n = 124) samples were collected and analyzed by spectrophotometry. The cyanide levels of soil-based samples and water-based samples at Mwasenga, and Ifumbo mining sites were above the permissible limits. This was due to poor disposal of tailing from the gold processing plants and mismanagement of wastewater. On the other hand, the Cyanide was within the allowable limit for both soil and water at Godima, Itewe, Ashishira and Nyatula mining sites. This was attributed by proper management of wastewater by using artificial tanks, ponds and trenches. Also, it was observed that there is a mobility of cyanide from the processing mining site, if the tailings and wastewater are not well managed. The concentration of cyanide in the soil and water samples of about 2 mg/L was observed at distance of more than 70 m from the processing plant at Mwasenga, the situation is even worse at Ifumbo, where the cyanide concentration in soil and water were about 25 and 8 mg/L respectively, at a distance of more than 50 m from processing plant

Authors: Ngaga Hadija , Haule Liberato , Nambela Lutamyo
Published: July 2023

Properties of sisal fibers such as high coarseness and poor drapability made the fibers less suitable in production of conventional textiles compared to synthetic fibers. The environmental consciousness and depletion of petrochemical resources have attracted researchers on investigating the use of natural fibers in the industrial production of conventional textiles. Sisal is among highly researched natural fibers due to its features such as strength, recyclability, availability, low processing cost, light weight and ease process ability. This paper reviews possible modifications of sisal fibers to enhance performance in conventional textiles applications.
Constitutional guarantees of local autonomy in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Babaianu Anatolii
Published: July 2023

Autonomy is the right of a state, a region, a minority or a nationality to self-administer, to make decisions, in the framework of a state controlled by a central power, without the intervention of the central government, and the public administration aims to achieve the general interest of society. Namely starting from this, for the realization of this local governance, the communities form (choose) some institutions, authorities, abilities with the right to investigate and represent their interests. Local autonomy is a principle and a way of organizing local administration, it cannot be implemented without restructuring the entire public administration system. The distinct particularity of the process of reforming the local public administration in the Republic of Moldova is determined by the dissonance between the material and financial possibilities of the local authorities and the attributions given to them by these regulations. In conclusion, we would like to mention that local autonomy is one of the constitutional foundations of the states and its source of existence is not the state will, but the constitutional will of the people, which is materialized in the fundamental constitutional principle regarding local autonomy.
Historical references and general notions regarding judicial error
Authors: Marit Alexandru , Eremciuc Roman
Published: July 2023

Error is the wrong idea we have about a thing, or more precisely the belief in the existence of a quality or a fact, relative to a legal fact, quality or fact that does not exist in reality. Error in criminal law has the comprehensive meaning of mistake and ignorance. So, the mistake or unintentional commission of a crime is always the result of ignorance, either in fact or in law. Error should not be confused with ignorance: the first is the wrong knowledge relative to a deed, while ignorance is the lack of knowledge. But in criminal law they are confused, because the error comes from ignorance. In criminal law, factual error constitutes an excuse. Likewise, in barbarian law it was considered an excuse, and in canon law and the law of the Middle Ages, the factual error constituted an excuse only when it did not come from obvious negligence.
The defense in administrative litigation of the rights damaged by the authorities (case study). Part II
Authors: Belecciu Stefan , Sevcenco Igor
Published: July 2023

The study of the problem of defending the rights harmed by the authorities is an important one, but also current, because, in order to solve it, it is necessary to know the actions of people in such situations and to appreciate the efficiency of the administrative litigation mechanism. Such an assessment is possible only as a result of the analysis of concrete cases of injury to human rights by the authorities and of the ways in which such disputes are settled by the competent courts. In the first part of the present study, we tried to analyze deeply and in detail the administrative activity of the Y authority carried out in relation to the X citizen (as the protagonists of the case under study), highlighting quite clearly the coordinates of the illegality admitted by it. This article discusses the analysis of a real case examined in the administrative court, based on which we intend to highlight the administrative activities of the public authority as the subject of the case and how a public authority can harm (people) rights recognized by law.
The notion and statistical parameters of prison criminality in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Osadcii Cornel , Chirita Valentin
Published: July 2023

Preventing and fighting crime is a priority for any rule of law. The essential guidelines are also the preservation of the state’s role as guarantor of personal security, prevention of recidivism of previously convicted persons, etc. Not only the administration of penitentiary institutions plays a special role in this process, but also the complex of preventive measures aimed at excluding tension in conditions of increased conflict between individuals. Therefore, the crimes committed while serving the sentence negatively influence the state of order established in the penitentiary institutions, a fact that makes it difficult to carry out the basic tasks of the penitentiary system. All this creates a difficult situation in the interpersonal relations of the people serving the criminal sentence, also leads to the decrease of the trust of the convicts in the employees of the penitentiary institutions. This article is focused on some doctrinal approaches regarding prison crime, as well as on revealing the statistical parameters of prison crime in the Republic of Moldova for the period of 2016-2021.
Jurisprudential study in the matter of crimes provided for in art. 238 of the criminal code of the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Stratan Andrei
Published: July 2023

In this scientific approach is carried out a study of judicial practice in the matter of crimes of obtaining credit, loan or insurance compensation/indemnity by fraud. It is stated that the credit documentation cannot constitute a material object of the crimes provided in art. 238 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova. In the context of these crimes, the credit documentation represents the form of expression of the false information presented by the perpetrator to the victim. Accordingly, the false information appears as a means of committing the crime. The study of the judicial practice in the matter of the offenses provided for in art. 238 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova highlights another difficulty in interpreting the content of the rule and, consequently, of legal qualification. Specifically, we identify a problem with establishing the content of prejudicial result. According to a first guideline, the extent of prejudicial result is determined by the inclusion of unpaid credit/loan installments and related interest/penalties. However, in the vast majority of analyzed cases, it is claimed that the content of the prejudicial result is equivalent to the amount of the credit/loan obtained.

The shortcomings that characterize the notion of hunting, used in article 233 of the criminal code of the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Boldescu Anastasia
Published: July 2023

Normative and doctrinal definitions of the notion of hunt (hunting) contain the enumeration as closer species (in relation to the more distant type of hunt (hunting)) of the following ways: detection; search; arousal; tracking; chase; injury; acquisition (kill or capture); other activity aimed at acquisition. Starting from this premise, we consider that the first aspect, which must be taken into account when establishing the meaning of the notion of hunt (hunting) within the meaning of article 233 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova, is to find out which of the respective methods can be found in this notion from the criminal law. The offense provided for in article 233 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova, is a material one. For these reasons, not all the ways, listed in the definition of the notion of hunting in article 2 of Law no. 298/2018, are able to express the legal essence of the prejudicial action provided for in article 233 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova. The definition given was not designed to reflect the fact that this offense is considered to be consumed from the moment of the occurrence of injurious consequences. The current title “Illegal hunting” of Article 233 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova can no longer be tolerated. In order to improve Article 233 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova, it is necessary to amend this title in “Cynegetic poaching”.
