Soberanía y obediencia, o sobre el ejercicio de la violencia en Hobbes y Harrington
Authors: Caram Cintia , Marcos Dolores
Published: August 2022

Soberanía y obediencia fueron dos nociones clave en las discusiones que se dieron en los albores de la modernidad. Parte de los debates se centró en la cuestión de la legitimidad del poder político y, en consecuencia, en por qué debemos obedecer, qué beneficios trae la obediencia y cuáles son sus límites. En todos estos casos, la noción de violencia aparece con diferentes rostros, y principalmente con la fisonomía de la guerra —punto de máxima expresión de la violencia explícita—, problema que la autoridad política viene, de alguna manera, a resolver. El Estado soberano, sin embargo, lejos está de ser la representación del irenismo, se convierte en monopolio legítimo de la violencia. Este trabajo pretende abordar tales cuestiones desde las teorías de Hobbes y Harrington. Ambos justificaron la obligación de los súbditos a acatar la ley que se impone y que garantiza, por sobre todas las cosas, su vida.

Published: August 2022

El propósito del presente trabajo es ofrecer una contextualización de “Las implicancias del pragmatismo para la educación” (MW 4, pp. 178–191), que traducimos en este número de la revista. El artículo está compuesto de tres partes que John Dewey (1859–1952) escribe en diciembre de 1908, febrero y marzo de 1909. Nuestra hipótesis interpretativa es que este texto es fundamental en dos sentidos: en primer lugar, para entender los lazos de Dewey con la tradición pragmatista; en segundo lugar, para comprender su conceptualización del vínculo entre pragmatismo y educación.

Mosquitoes are important vectors, which transmit many communicable diseases throughout the world. Synthetic insecticides, such as organophosphate and pyrethroids, are commonly used for their control in the vector control program. Insecticidal compounds from natural sources, notably from plants and synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) are promising tools for managing such vectors. Hence, the study aimed to analyze the insecticidal potentiality of leaf extract ofCipadessa bacciferaand synthesized ZnNPs against three major mosquito vectors. The results recorded from UV-Vis spectroscopy show the peak absorption spectrum at 420 nm. In FTIR, the maximum peak value is 562.85 cm−1assigned to the N–H group (amide group). The EDAX analysis shows a peak around 63.29, which confirms the binding intensity of selenium. In the scanning electron microscopy analysis, the synthesized ZnNPs sizes were ranging from 49.21 to 65.43 nm. The synthesized ZnNPs produced high mortality againstCulex quinquefasciatusLC50= 0.049653 mg·mL−1; LC90= 0.9842 mg·mL−1),Anopheles stephensi(LC50= 0.053421 mg·mL−1and LC90= 0.027761 mg·mL−1), andAedes aegyptiLC50= 0.55214 mg·mL−1and LC90= 0.7456 mg·mL−1). These results suggest that theC. bacciferaleaf extract-mediated biosynthesis of ZnNPs has the potential to be used as an ideal eco-friendly approach toward the control of mosquito vectors at early stages.
Modelling thermal diffusivity of meat during freezing
Authors: Carson James K. , Hoang Duy K.
Published: August 2022

When modelling a thermal process such as freezing, it is convenient to make use of thermal property models based on the food’s composition; however, there does not appear to be any suitable models specifically for thermal diffusivity. In the absence of such models, thermal diffusivity may be determined from models for effective thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity and density as functions of composition, as well as an appropriate ice fraction model. However, the accuracy of the predictions is strongly dependent on the choice of effective thermal property models. In particular, the effective specific heat capacity model must incorporate the effect of latent heat release as a function of temperature. For meat during freezing, it is recommended that the Dul’Nev Novikov effective thermal conductivity model, Pham’s ice fraction model and Chen’s effective heat capacity model are used.

Authors: Baxi Vikrant K. , Gadani Deepak H. , Rana Vipin A.
Published: August 2022

Dielectric properties of pure honey adulterated by varying amount of sugar syrup have been measured over 20 Hz to 2 MHz frequency range, at room temperature. The samples were prepared by mixing different proportions of sugar syrup in pure honey. It has been observed that, dielectric constant (ε′) and dielectric loss (ε″) of the mixture increases as percentage of sugar-syrup in honey increases. ε′ of the mixture decreases rapidly with the increase in frequency and achieves static value at higher frequency. ε″ decreases linearly with increase in frequency. The relaxation time corresponding to tanδ peak varies nonlinearly with increase in concentration of sugar syrup in the honey. The dielectric loss at 2 MHz, and the relaxation frequency of the mixture increases linearly with increase in concentration of sugar syrup in honey, which can be used to estimate the amount of adulteration of honey by sugar syrup.

Published: August 2022

Zinc coatings on Cu substrates were successfully electroplated from choline chloride (ChCl) with ethylene glycol (EG) based deep eutectic solvent with the current density varied from 10 to 40 mA cm−2 in air atmosphere at a temperature of 343 K. The effects of current density on the microstructure and corrosion performance were investigated in this paper. Smooth zinc coatings were obtained at the current density of 10 mA cm−2 with a current efficiency of over 90 %. With the increase in current density, there was a declining trend in the current efficiency and the surface quality of zinc coatings. Although there was no diffusion layer between the coating and substrates, all the zinc coatings still bonded well with the copper substrates. Compared with the smooth zinc coating electroplated at 10 mA cm−2, the zinc coating obtained at 40 mA cm−2 exhibited a better corrosion resistance in 3.5 wt.% NaCl aqueous solution due to the dense packing of the large number of flake zinc grains.

Published: August 2022

Social media is a routine part of every-day life for millions of people worldwide. How does engaging with social media shape enduring memories for that experience? This question is important given the popularity of certain types of content on social media platforms, such as content widely known as “fitspiration”. Two experiments involving 510 US adults (mean age = 36.82) examined memory for food and fitness-related social media images that individuals write comments about, as well as memory for other images in the context. We demonstrate that commenting on social media images boosts memory for them and weakly affects memory for conceptually related images in the same context. Exploratory analyses revealed correlations between self-reported disordered eating symptomology and effects of commenting on memory. These findings demonstrate that how people engage with social media has implications for the enduring memories of that content and may relate to behaviors and attitudes in offline lives, such as eating and body image.

Published: August 2022

Objective: to analyze the sociodemographic and gestational factors of adolescent mothers associated with prematurity. Methods: quantitative, cross-sectional, retrospective, and analytical study, developed with 488 adolescent mothers and their respective 489 newborns. Data were collected by query and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. To verify the association between variables, the Chi-square or Fisher's exact test was used. To control for confounding factors, the multivariate Poisson Regression model was used. Results: adolescent mothers were mostly single, with occupation and education inadequate for their age; 76.5% did not have prenatal care appropriate for gestational age. The prevalence of prematurity was 6.6% and was associated with the number of adequate prenatal visits, twin pregnancy, and vaginal delivery. Conclusion: prematurity was associated with the number of prenatal visits, type of delivery and pregnancy. Contributions to practice: the study allows health professionals and managers to have more knowledge about the repercussions of teenage pregnancy, as well as the clinical and social outcomes in maternal and child health, such as prematurity, enabling more precise targeting of actions and programs aimed at this problem.

Published: August 2022

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine condition characterised by a range of reproductive, endocrine, metabolic and psychological abnormalities. Reports estimate that around 10% of women of reproductive age are affected by PCOS, representing a significant prevalence worldwide, which poses a high economic health burden. As the origin of PCOS remains largely unknown, there is neither a cure nor mechanism-based treatments leaving patient management suboptimal and focused solely on symptomatic treatment. However, if the underlying mechanisms underpinning the development of PCOS were uncovered then this would pave the way for the development of new interventions for PCOS. Recently, there have been significant advances in our understanding of the underlying pathways likely involved in PCOS pathogenesis. Key insights include the potential involvement of androgens, insulin, anti-Müllerian hormone and transforming growth factor beta in the development of PCOS. This review will summarise the significant scientific discoveries on these factors that have enhanced our knowledge of the mechanisms involved in the development of PCOS and discuss the impact these insights may have in shaping the future development of effective strategies for women with PCOS.
Effect of nano precipitated calcium carbonate on the properties of hydrogels prepared with acrylamide, starch, and TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose
Authors: He Tianjiao , Tong Guolin , Li Penghui , Miao Chen , Zhang Xin , Xu Xuewen
Published: August 2022

A variety of water-retaining hydrogels possessing macroporous interiors resembling a honeycomb framework were developed by free radical polymerization of acrylamide (AM), starch, and TEMPO-oxidized nanofibrillated cellulose (TONFC) (Poly (AM-co-TONFC/Starch) (PATS) hydrogels). With the help of ultrasound, nano precipitated calcium carbonate (NPCC) was gelatinized in the preformed NPCC suspension in a monomer solution that forms a hydrogel. When NPCC was dispersed in water, its surface was positively charged, and NPCC could be used as a condensation center to form hydrogen bonds with AM, TONFC, and starch, shortening the distance between AM, TONFC, and starch, increasing the pore size, and thinning the pore wall. The uniform dispersion of NPCC in hydrogels could also promote a more uniform degree of cross-linking in hydrogels. When the hydrogels was extruded and deformed by external forces, the stress of hydrogels was more uniform, so that they could withstand more forces without collapsing. When 4% NPCC was added (relative to starch and TONFC), the pore size of PATS2 hydrogel was uniformly distributed in the range of 10 to 20 μm. The maximum tensile strength of PATS2 hydrogel reached 84.8 KPa, and the elongation at break was 399%. The water absorption reached 172.3, and 65% water content was maintained after 720 h.
Linguistic russification in Russian Ukraine: Languages, imperial models, and policies
Authors:   Pace University, New York, USA, Danylenko Andrii , Naienko Halyna ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
Published: August 2022

The paper deals with the vagaries of linguistic russification among the Ukrainians from the midseventeenth century to 1914. The authors explore the major stages in the implementation of the policies of russification in Russian Ukraine, starting with first bans on books printed in Church Slavonic of the Ukrainian recension via the decrees and edicts issued by Peter I together with the Holy Synod to the punitive measures taken by the tsarist regime against new literary Ukrainian in the second half of the nineteenth century. The authors distinguish three languages (Church Slavonic of the Ukrainian recension, Ruthenian, and new literary Ukrainian) which were consecutively exposed to various forms of hostile language management by the tsarist administration.Based on these three languages and the classification into different models of imperial policy, a new periodization of linguistic russification and denationalization is substantiated. The material analyzed with the help of this new periodization proves that Russia’s rulers had special reasons for treating Ukraine more severely than other non-Russian areas, resulting in a constant, consistent, and long-lasting policy of linguistic russification in Russian Ukraine. Keywords: Ukrainian-Russian interlingual relations, sociolinguistics, Russification, imperial censorship, Rusian language, Ruthenian, Church Slavonic language, Standard Ukrainian
Christian theonyms in Taras Shevchenko’s poetic discourse
Authors:   Poltava V. H. Korolenko National Pedagogical University, Stepanenko Mykola
Published: August 2022

This study explores the use of the Christian theonym Boh ‘God’ in the poetic discourse of Taras Shevchenko. This lexical unit forms the center of sacredness in Shevchenko’s poetic discourse, with all the other linguistic means of religious mini-texts being directly or indirectly related to it. The careful examination of Shevchenko’s linguistic practice, especially its sacred content, shows that the author was a believer who verbalized knowledge about God from the Holy Scripture in his texts in the form of quotations or plot biblicisms. The research focuses primarily on the typology of the names of different parts of God, e.g., the Divine Trinity, God the Father, and God the Son. To this end, a paradigmatic approach is engaged: the paper compiles the corpus of God’snames, reveals specific features of each actualizing name which performs an important concretizing function from semasiological and stylistic perspective, and determines a set of lexical-semantic representatives of these names. The article establishes syntagmatic and phraseological correlations between the onyms Boh ‘God’ and Hospodʹ ‘Lord’. In his magnum opus Kobzar, Shevchenko uses the lexeme Boh most frequently, and it performs the functions of a subject, object, and addressee demonstrating widesyntagmatic connections and phraseological potential. The paper discusses lexical-semanticcombinability of this lexeme with the attributive modifiers (adjectives, pronoun adjectives) at the level of a word combination and with the semantically multifunctional verbal predicates at the level of a sentence and singles out the semantic types of the phraseological units with the component Boh. The derivatives of the theonym Boh analysed permit inferences about the secondary adjective Božyj ‘God’s’ (from Boh) which functions as a semantic center of both syntactically free phrases and phraseological units represented by the whole range of semantic types. Keywords: Taras Shevchenko’s poetic discourse, theonym Boh, God’s names, secondary adjective Božyj formed from a noun, nominative paradigm
Neosemantization of the lexemes štam and buster and language adaptation of the nominations of coronavirus variants in modern mass media

Published: August 2022

This article offers a description of the names of COVID-19 variants as used in nowadays media texts. A contrastive analysis of the linguistic data collected from the Den′ and Ukraїns′ka Pravda issues of 2021–2022 and the dictionary show that the nomination štam ‘strain, variant’ has undergone a significant modification so that its semantic range accounts for the naming of COVID-19 variants. This lexeme is often used along with grammatically subordinated nouns kovid ‘COVID’ and koronavirus coronavirus’ and modifiers such as novyj ‘new’, novovyjavlenyj ‘newly discovered’, zaraznyj ‘contagious’, and smertonosnyj ‘fatal’ having a powerful effect on a consumer of mass media content. The role of the functional equivalent of the noun štam is rarely performed by the lexemes variant ‘variant’, mutatsija ‘mutation’, and kovid-mutatsija ‘COVID mutation’, and the respective expressions show at least two synonymous forms, which are an ad jective-noun form as associated with the country where the COVID-19 was first discovered and one-word form as based on the Greek letter. The paper also highlights the lexeme del’takron ‘Deltacron’. The ongoing process of the linguistic adaptation of the ‘variant’ names is reflected in the multivariant spelling of these names. Some compound nouns point out to the use of hyphens, e.g., del’ta-štam ‘Delta variant’ and omicron-štam ‘Omicron variant’, whereas others do not, e.g., štam del’ta. The author discusses the use of the names with the letters of the Greek alphabet in other compound nouns like beta-testuvannja ‘beta-testing’ and the activation of the lexical items vaktsyna ‘vaccine’, vaktsynatsija ‘vaccination’, and buster ‘booster’. Keywords: lexicon, noun, adjective, emotionally expressive vocabulary

Published: August 2022

The global Covid-19 pandemic had seen inequalities much exacerbated and disparities between and within nations widened. The socio-economic crisis experienced in Brazil is no exception. The long-term impacts of the pandemic on our socio-economic and political lives and how they shape the production and reproduction of inequalities will continue to dominate contemporary sociological debates. We propose a set of original papers that focus not only on the measurement of social inequalities, but seek to articulate the complex social processes based on new empirical evidence on wealth distribution, well-being and life chances in the 21st century. Despite being a late-industrialized country, the general trends observed in Brazil in inequalities can shed light on similar developments in other societies, and this Special Issue aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the persistent and deepening inequalities worldwide.

Authors: Reuter Gábor , Boros Ákos , Pankovics Péter
Published: August 2022

In this study, the age-related seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection was investigated in the population in South-Transdanubia, Southwest Hungary (Central Europe) between years 2010 and 2020. Up to the age of 40, the HAV seropositivity was less than 18% in all age groups indicating a low level of HAV endemicity in this part of the country in the covered study period. The HAV seropositivity started to increase at the age group 41–45 years, reaching the ∼50% at age group 56–60, and 75–80% at age group 66–70, respectively. A total of 43 (0.2%) of the 21,106 tested sera were HAV IgM-positive (the annual percentage range of HAV IgM-positivity was 0.046–0.6%). Total of 24 (55.8%) of the 43 HAV IgM-positive samples tested RT-PCR-positive confirmed as HAV sub-genotypes IA (N = 17; 70.8%) and IB (N = 7; 29.2%), respectively. Imported HAV infections (three cases from Romania, and one-one case from Austria and Italy), two small outbreaks and 11 cases of a genetically identical sub-genotype IA strain (GenBank number of the prototype strain: KM657825) from 2012 to 2014 were identified later connected directly to the enormous HAV outbreak initiated among men who have sex with men (MSM) at the end of 2011 in the capital Budapest.

In summary, low endemicity but high and increased susceptibility for HAV infection was found in the population in Southwest Hungary, where repeated introduction of sub-genotypes IA and IB HAV strains were identified between 2010 and 2020.

Berk., by many characteristics, such as the larger stroma of DL0091 (15–130 mm x 2–6 mm), of asci (550–680 μm × 5–8 μm), etc. Additionally, the combined multi-gene phylogenetic analysis, including ITS, Tef and Rpb1, well supported its systematic position in the clade of M. neogunnii, which was used as traditional herb in China and other Asian countries. In summary, DL0091 was identified as M. neogunnii, containing many bioactive compounds, could be used as the medicinal potential in human healthcare.
Expression alteration analyses in the transgenic Arabidopsis carrying soybean Histidine-containing phosphotransmitter gene under salinity stress condition
Authors: Chi Hung Thai , Lan Xuan Hoang Thi , Thien Quang Nguyen , Phuong Thao Nguyen
Published: August 2022

Productivity of many crops is highly vulnerable to extreme external conditions.  Environmental stress factors such as drought and salinity have become more and more serious due to climate change and appear in many areas worldwide with higher frequency. As both drought and salinity belong to osmotic stress, they have similar negative effects on plant growth, development, and productivity as well as trigger similar stress responses by plants. In a previous study analyzing the expression profile in two soybean (Glycine max) cultivars with contrasting drought-tolerant phenotypes, a member of two-component system (TCS) in soybean, GmHP08, was proposed to associate with the plant tolerance capacity to drought. Subsequent in planta study confirmed its action as a positive regulator under drought conditions, as the transgenic Arabidopsis plants ectopically expressing GmHP08 acquired better drought tolerance. Following this, the presented research further explored the possible function of GmHP08 in mediating plant response to salinity. The obtained data from RT-qPCR analyses suggested that GmHP08 might positively enhance the salt tolerance of the Arabidopsis transgenic plants by altering the transcriptional abundance of several stress-related genes, including RD29A, RD29B, ABI5, SAG13, and CSD1. Activities of these genes are known to be associated with osmoprotection, senescence process, and antioxidation, which contribute to salt-tolerance ability of the transgenic plants. These results provided the first line of molecular evidence regarding GmHP08 function in plant response to salinity conditions. Therefore, extensive studies should be conducted in future studies to elaborate on the mechanisms by which this TCS member could improve various types of osmotic stress tolerance in plants.
CDF estimation in multistage pair ranked set sampling
Authors: MAHDİZADEH Mahdi , ZAMANZADE Ehsan
Published: August 2022

Multistage pair ranked set sampling (MSPRSS) is a rank-based design that improves statistical inference with respect to simple random sampling of the same size. It is applicable when exact measurement is difficult, but judgment raking of the potential sample units can be done fairly accurately and easily. The ranking is usually performed based on personal judgment or a concomitant variable, and need not be totally free of errors. This article deals with estimating the cumulative distribution function in MSPRSS. The proposed estimator is theoretically compared with its contenders in the literature. The findings are supported by numerical evidence from simulation, and real data in the context of body fat analysis. Finally, a cost analysis is performed to show the advantage of the estimator.
Migration and the Dilemma of Belonging

Published: August 2022

This paper highlights the most challenging decision of people in their lives: to leave their home and township in search of a safer or better life, or migration. This movement of people is most often triggered by political crises, natural disasters and socio-economic push factors. Migration,
especially international migration, is an important problem for many European and other developed countries such as the United States, Canada and Australia. The cultural difference between the natives and the migrants creates suspicion and lack of trust, causing the dilemma of belonging. Immigration
is becoming even more important in this era of 'globalization' or 'new times,' as it is sometimes called, an era in which distances have become even closer.

ABSTRACT Objective to analyze, over time, the constitution of the older adults' family arrangements and their relationship with social support, frailty, quality of life and cognition; in addition to verifying existing tensions in the family context from the perspective of these subjects. Method a longitudinal study, using mixed methods and concomitant triangulation. A sociodemographic interview, the Edmonton Frailty Scale, WHOQOL-BREF and OLD, The Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Genogram and Ecomap were applied. The quantitative data used the Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney comparison test; and those with a qualitative approach were treated according to Bardin's content analysis, with dialectical materialism as a theoretical framework. Results most of the 84 aged people in the study period (2012/2016-2019) were over 70 years old and female (83.3%). Frailty and cognition did not present a statistically significant relationship with the type of family arrangement. Aged people who lived alone had a worse quality of life in the physical (p=0.044) and psychological (p=0.031) domains. Older adults who lived with grandchildren showed worsening in the social relationship domain (p=0.047) and improvement in the death and dying domain (p<0.001). Three categories and nine subcategories were found, which highlighted the importance of interdependent and supportive relationships in the family. Data integration showed that the family size arrangement and the types of its members do not determine the existence of support, but the bonds formed with family and community. Conclusion frailty and cognition presented no statistical difference with the type of family arrangement, although this relationship was found in some quality of life domains.
Multi-functional performance of biopolymers and biocement in stabilisation of road bases

Published: August 2022

To achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Australia must dramatically reduce the use of cement for stabilisation of soil used in road bases. Bio-based binders for soil stabilisation are potential alternatives. Biocementation through microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is well researched. A few research studies on biopolymeric stabilisation are also available. This paper explores the synergistic effect of combined biopolymer and biocement for the stabilisation of sandy soil and road bases. The soil was stabilised using both biopolymer (xanthan gum) and MICP. The synergy between the biopolymer and MICP was evaluated by giving a few samples a combined treatment. The performance was evaluated by compressive strength tests, micrographic analysis and water absorption tests. Although the biopolymer treatment improved the compressive strength, it degraded significantly in the presence of water. The relatively high water absorption of xanthan gum could be mitigated by MICP. The study demonstrates that MICP surface coating is a sustainable solution to overcome this limitation of the biopolymer. Likewise, the addition of biopolymers reduces the release of ammonia from MICP. This study unravels the potential of a composite bio-treatment for the stabilisation of road bases.

REFLEXÕES CRÍTICAS QUANTO ÀS PRÁTICAS DE USO DA LINGUAGEM NO CAMPO DO JORNALISMO
Authors: Júnior Carlos Borges
Published: August 2022

Este artigo discorre sobre diferentes sentidos para o uso da palavra crítica e, a partir da concepção de crítica enquanto processo de emancipação dos sujeitos (FREIRE, 2013; GIROUX, 2013) com vias ao empoderameto e às mudanças sociais (FAIRCLOUGH, 2008; CHOULIARAKI, FAIRCLOUGH, 1999), analisa práticas discursivas produzidas em uma notícia publicada no site da revista Carta Capital, em outubro de 2019. Para tanto, vale-se de fundamentos da Análise Crítica do Discurso (ACD), especificamente da Análise do Discurso Textualmente Orientada (ADTO) com base em Fairclough (2008); considerando três dimensões: 1) análise do texto jornalístico publicado; 2) análise das práticas discursivas; e, 3) análise das práticas sociais de construção dos discursos. Os resultados apontam para práticas de usurpação do lugar discursivo do trabalhador, de valorização do discurso institucional e de silenciamento das fontes e do contraditório.

Both concepts are considered as interrelated and sequential since innovations are disseminated via learning and learning mostly creates innovation. In this paper, a framework, which aims to improve both theoretical background and praxis on the subject, is propounded on the relationship between innovation and learning in the inter-organizational context. Within this typology, changes acquired within the organizations after the process of inter-organizational learning are divided into two categories, innovation and improvement, in parallel with inter-organizational learning being realized in three parts — collaboration, diffusion and knowledge transfer. Organizational capacity of the originating and recipient organizations are also seen at a level that is competent enough to handle the learning process to carry it out properly. Hence, the suggested framework puts forward four different variations for the public sector innovation and learning among the organizational relations: Innovation can be fully transferred, or it is partially transferred by reason of insufficient capacity of either originating or recipient organizations and become improvement at the end of these two processes or finally no innovation is adopted to the receiver organizations.
When Perpetrators and Victims Meet Again
Authors: Eschenhagen Philipp
Published: August 2022

This article examines Germany’s exercise of universal criminal jurisdiction (UCJ) from a hospitality perspective. It derives this perspective from recent theoretical writings, in particular Frédéric Mégret’s work on the role of victim diasporas in UCJ proceedings. Mégret argues that states exercising UCJ respond to a duty of hospitality towards those who have suffered abroad but are now on the territory of a new state. While presenting a convincing theoretical case, this perspective requires verification in the practice of states that actually exercise UCJ. This article therefore considers to what extent the recent surge of UCJ cases in Germany is linked to the presence of a victim diaspora on its territory. In addition, it assesses whether German legal and public discourse also assumes a duty of hospitality towards those victim diasporas or whether it rests the exercise of UCJ on more traditional approaches.
Invoking Systemic Ideals or Systemic Rules? Jurisdiction in WTO and Investor-State Dispute Settlement
Authors: Strain Nicola Claire
Published: August 2022

How do international economic adjudicators approach the question of systemic integration? Systemic integration could be a powerful tool in the defragmentation of the international legal order. Yet, it is a complex tool, coalescing between a legal rule of interpretation and normative ideal of a coherent international legal order. By undertaking an empirical and doctrinal review of the decisions of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms, the paper illustrates both the underutilisation and inconsistent application of the principle within the reasoning of those adjudicators. The paper analyses how international economic law adjudicators attempt (or perhaps fail) to define the indeterminate legal authority of systemic integration. What is contributing to this methodological pluralism in the application of systemic integration? The paper investigates both the competing ‘law-applying’ or ‘law-making’ adjudicative functions and the limitations of tribunal jurisdiction as possible explanations for the competing perceptions of the role of systemic integration in international economic dispute resolution. The underutilisation and inconsistency of systemic integration in the WTO and investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms highlights the need to bridge the gap, both theoretically and doctrinally, in understanding how systemic ideals fit within legal rules.
Modelo para el análisis y diseño de políticas públicas (AMDPP)

En este libro se presenta un nuevo modelo metodológico para mejorar el análisis y el diseño de las políticas públicas. En términos generales, dos palabras clave orientan su desarrollo, a saber: el diseño de políticas (Policy Design). Ambas configuran un concepto que permite reunir lo que en realidad es un conjunto de procesos separados en la literatura sobre las políticas públicas. Este concepto, además, permite ver desde un solo lente la estructuración de los problemas públicos, la búsqueda de soluciones o instrumentos, el estudio de la viabilidad política de las alternativas de solución, la implementación de dichos instrumentos y la realización del seguimiento y la evaluación, dejando claro que todos estos pasos comparten una unidad común. Sin embargo, no solo se ofrece el instrumento del MADPP, sino también su aplicación a sesenta y cinco políticas públicas de la Alcaldía de Medellín (2000-2018), un esfuerzo con el sector público que logra establecer una metodología de trabajo y de sinergias entre la universidad y el Estado.

In this work a sufficient condition is shown to obtain transitivity in families of piecewise increassing maps with an inevitable discontinuity in x=0. Specifically, it is shown that the characteristics of a large class of transformations of the real line with a discontinuity in x=0 to be transitive (exhibits a dense orbit), they are the following: f has no fixed points, f has a vertical asymptote at x=0 and the preimage of zero is different from empty. In particular, the famous Boole transformation together with some of its parameterizations they exhibit these characteristics. As a particular case, for the family to a parameter of hyperbolas its dynamic behavior is explicitly determined according to the values of the parameter p > 0.

As each sector and industry has its own risks and hazards in terms of occupational health and safety, many of these can also be found in the textile industry. A good analysis of these risks and hazards, the correct and quick determination of the precautions to be taken can prevent many occupational accidents that may occur. In this study, the current risk assessment forms of a textile company operating in Bursa were examined. As the result of these analyzes made, the hazards of the current risks were classified into 8 main criteria and 55 sub-criteria. In order to determine the internal and external dependencies of these criteria, the ANP method, one of the multi-criteria decision making methods, was used. Thanks to the ANP, weightings of the main criteria and sub-criteria were obtained. In this way, the main criterion with the highest priority hazard has been determined as the criterion of machinery, working equipment and hand tools. The moving rotating part was found as the most prioritized sub-criterion of this main criterion. As a result of the comparisons of each sub-criterion with the sub-criteria in different main criteria, the most priority sub-criterion was determined as electric shock.

Aim. To study the clinical and demographic profile of patients with non-metatstatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) and clinical approaches to the treatment of nmCRPC in the context of daily medical practice before and after progression M1 stage.

Materials and methods. The multicenter non-interventional epidemiological study were included 200 patients with a documented diagnosis of nmCRPC from 2019 to 2020. Each patient visited twice: start and after 6 months. Of the 200 patients included, 9 were excluded from the analysis presented in this article: 1 patient had no information on inclusi- on criteria, 1 patient did not meet the inclusion criteria, 7 patients did not attend visit 2. Thus, data are presented for 191 patients.

Results and conclusion. The median age was 74.3 years (range 55 to 91). 72 % (137/191) had a disability group. The most common comorbidities were hypertension (n = 115) and hypercholesterolemia (n = 56). The median time from the diagnosis of prostate cancer to the development of castration resistance (diagnosis of nmCRPC) was 75 months. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) nadir (0.37 ng/ml on average) was achieved after 15 months of prostate cancer therapy (median time to reach PSA nadir). At the same time, PSA doubling time in most cases (47.6 %; 91/191) was less than 6 months, 18.8 % of persons (36/191) had PSA doubling time for more than 10 months.
