Consideraciones sobre la democracia deliberativa y lecciones del caso chileno
Authors: Raveau María Paz , Couyoumdjian Juan Pablo , Fuentes-Bravo Claudio , Candia Cristian
Published: September 2023

La democracia representativa parece estar hoy en crisis y con ella la legitimidad de nuestras instituciones políticas. A raíz de ello han tomado fuerza otras ideas de democracia, en particular de democracia deliberativa. En este artículo se examinan, en primer lugar, los principales argumentos a favor y en contra de la democracia deliberativa, desde una perspectiva teórica y empírica. En segundo lugar, se revisa la amplia literatura en este campo, la que ha dado lugar a una serie de recomendaciones de diseño para procesos deliberativos que definen condiciones de representatividad, calidad del proceso y de sus resultados. En tercer lugar, consideramos la experiencia de la ciudadanía chilena buscando ser parte de los nuevos cambios constitucionales, a través de iniciativas de diálogos ciudadanos entre 2015 y 2022. En este marco temporal se desarrollaron los Encuentros Locales Autoconvocados del Proceso Constituyente encabezado por la expresidenta Michelle Bachelet, la iniciativa ‘Tenemos que hablar de Chile’ de las universidades Católica y de Chile, el proyecto de participación ciudadana del expresidente Sebastián Piñera, ‘El Chile que queremos’, y el proceso participativo de la reciente Convención Constitucional. Con todo, la experiencia chilena de participación ciudadana permite constatar que si bien a lo largo de este proceso existen iniciativas que integran progresivamente recomendaciones de diseño de la teoría deliberativa, la fase participativa de la Convención Constitucional —y en particular los cabildos ciudadanos inscritos en ella— significaron un retroceso en todos los sentidos. La evidencia recogida y los aprendizajes de los distintos procesos nos permiten afirmar que el marco institucional y los incentivos democráticos para las fuerzas políticas y ciudadanas participantes, son requisitos clave para el diseño e implementación de procesos de participación ciudadana exitosos.
ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURE AND CEO CHARACTERISTICS: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF GO PUBLIC COMPANIES IN INDONESIA
Authors: Trisnawati Rina , Mustikawati Susilaningdyah , Sasongko Noer
Published: September 2023

Organizations can use enterprise risk management disclosures to share financial and non-financial risk information with external stakeholders. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has a key role in enterprise risk management. This study examines the relationship between Indonesian CEOs’ characteristics and enterprise risk management disclosure. Purposive sampling is the basis for the process of gathering samples from the population. The research was conducted in 2020 and consisted of 475 non-financial Indonesian companies that were listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. The findings of previously released annual reports may be found on the websites of both the Indonesia Stock Exchange and individual companies. These secondary sources were used to compile the study data. The ISO framework index 31000:2018 is utilized to evaluate the Enterprise risk management (ERM) disclosure. Eviews10’s implementation of multiple regression serves as the basis for the analysis. The findings indicate that CEO overconfidence and CEO tenure influence enterprise risk management disclosure, while CEO financial expertise and CEO gender did not have an effect on enterprise risk management disclosure. The innovation of this research is investigating CEOs’ characteristics by psychological characteristics, namely CEO overconfidence and measurement of ERM disclosure based on the ISO 31000:2018 framework which is the latest standard of risk management.
The Evolution of Ion Charge States in Coronal Mass Ejections
Authors: Laming J. Martin , Provornikova Elena , Ko Yuan-Kuen
Published: September 2023

We model the observed charge states of the elements C, O, Mg, Si, and Fe in the ejecta of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). We concentrate on “halo” CMEs observed in situ by the Advanced Composition Explorer/Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer to measure ion charge states, and also remotely by the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory when in near quadrature with the Earth, so that the CME expansion can be accurately specified. Within this observed expansion, we integrate equations for the CME ejecta ionization balance, including electron heating parameterized as a fraction of the kinetic and gravitational energy gain of the CME. We also include the effects of non-Maxwellian electron distributions, characterized as a κ function. Focusing first on the 2010 April 3 CME, we find a somewhat better match to the observed charge states with κ close to the theoretical minimum value of κ = 3/2, implying a hard spectrum of nonthermal electrons. Similar but more significant results come from the 2011 February 15 event, although it is quite different in terms of its evolution. We discuss the implications of these values, and of the heating required, in terms of the magnetic reconnection Lundquist number and anomalous resistivity associated with CME evolution close to the Sun.
Transfusion-transmitted Malaria in a Pregnant Woman with Beta Thalassemia Minor: A Case Report
Authors: Priambodo Doni , Septadi Mahendra , Halimawan Yugata , Nugroho Dhite
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND: Malaria is an infectious disease that is caused by plasmodium parasites. Malaria is commonly spread by female anopheles mosquitoes carrying the plasmodium parasite, although it can also be transferred through blood transfusion. In the developing world, malaria frequently affects the most vulnerable, including small children and pregnant women, resulting in severe morbidity and mortality.
CASE PRESENTATION: This case report presents a primigravida with beta-thalassemia who developed malaria during her pregnancy despite never having visited a malaria-endemic region. A 22-year-old primigravida in her 29th week of pregnancy presented to an outpatient clinic with a 1-week history of fever. Blood smears, both thick and thin, revealed Plasmodium malariae trophozoites, schizonts, and gametocytes. She was diagnosed with a mild form of beta-thalassemia and required monthly blood transfusions. We think the patient got malaria from a blood transfusion because she has never been to or lived where malaria is common. Infections transferred through blood transfusions should be prevented in thalassemia patients who require regular transfusions, particularly in vulnerable groups such as pregnant women.
CONCLUSION: Transfusion-transmitted diseases can be prevented by screening donors who have a history of  malaria and have traveled to endemic areas.
Systema Dipterorum
Authors: Pape Thomas , Evenhuis Neal
Published: September 2023

From its birth as the ‘Biosystematic Database of World Diptera’ in 1984, the ‘Systema Dipterorum’ (Evenhuis and Pape 2023) has grown into one of the largest databases currently maintained for the taxonomy and nomenclature of a single order of insects. Systema Dipterorum covers all two-winged insects (Diptera), and with almost a quarter of a million names representing more than 170,000 valid species distributed in some 13,000 valid genera, we cover about 10% of the described and named Animalia. About 1,000 new nominal species are described annually within Diptera. Data are entered in FileMaker Pro (database) and served through an online portal*1 with an updated version currently provided every two months. Names are harvested and reviewed through a four-tier quality assurance hierarchy with entries eventually reaching taxonomic and nomenclatural standards equivalent to being published online. The nomenclatural status of each name is shown using 50 different codes, and at this moment a published authority source is linked to more than 70% of the entries. Universal Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) are automatically generated for every record of names and the more than 35,000 references. Names are made available for the Catalogue of Life, and we envision a web portal for seamless harvesting of new names and literature as well as for updating of both nomenclature and taxonomy by making changes and correcting errors with explicit reference to published authority sources. We envision the future for Systema Dipterorum to be a one-stop website, where clicking on a name resulting from a search may call up links to, e.g., its nomenclatural registry in ZooBank, the original description through the Biodiversity Heritage Library, taxonomic treatments from Plazi, images from Morphbank, occurrence data through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), molecular sequence data from GenBank, Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) from Barcode of Life, and additional data from many other sources.
Alien mantids in a tropical paradise: First record of the giant mantis Sphodromantis viridis (Insecta, Mantodea) for the Canary Islands (Spain)
Authors: Fasano Antonio , De Martino Alessio
Published: September 2023

The presence of adults, nymphs, and oothecae of the African giant mantis Sphodromantis viridis Forsskål is for the first time recorded on the island of Tenerife, the largest and most populated of the Canary archipelago, an autonomous Spanish community in the Atlantic Ocean. The discovery took place in a popular water park rich in non-native plants in the municipality of Costa Adeje. It is possible that anthropogenic movements, particularly the massive movement of tourists and goods that continually cross this small archipelago, aided the dispersal to the area of this mantis, which for some years has also been expanding in many areas of the Mediterranean basin. A hypothesis on the ecological impact and the possible invasiveness of this extremely adaptable species is discussed and supported by the large number of sightings of oothecae and specimens that are, fortunately, still confined within the west coast of the island.
A new species of the genus Leptobrachella Smith 1925 (Amphibia, Anura, Megophryidae) from Guangxi, China
Authors: Chen Wei-Cai , Peng Wan-Xiao , Li Peng , Yu Gui-Dong
Published: September 2023

A new species of Leptobrachella, L. wumingensissp. nov., was described from the Damingshan National Nature Reserve, Wuming District, Nanning City, Guangxi, China based on morphological, molecular and bioacoustic data. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S mtDNA fragments revealed that the new species is closely related to L. damingshanensis. Uncorrected p-distances between the new species and all homologous DNA sequences available for the 16S gene of Leptobrachella are greater than 7.1%. Morphologically, L. wumingensissp. nov. differs from its congeners in several ways, including a medium body size (SVL 26.0–26.7 mm in males, 30.6–34.8 mm in females), lack of toe webbing and lateral fringes, shagreened and granular dorsal surface, pale brown dorsum with darker brown markings, iris bicolored, with the upper half copper and fading to silver in the lower half, and the presence of small irregular black spots and tangerine tubercles on the flanks. Furthermore, we found the new species to have two types of advertisement calls and relatively high dominant frequencies, making it distinct from its congeners.

Objective

To evaluate the relative prevalence of 8 rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) across racial and ethnic groups within the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet).

Methods

Electronic health records from participating PCORnet institutions and systems from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2018, were used to identify adult patients with ≥ 2 diagnosis codes for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), osteoporosis (OP), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), giant cell arteritis (GCA), and Takayasu arteritis (TAK). Among those with race and ethnicity data available, we compared prevalence of RMDs by race and ethnicity.

Results

Data from 28,059,546 patients were available for analysis. RA was more common in patients who were American Indian or Alaska Native vs White, with a prevalence of 11.57 vs 10.11/1000 (odds ratio [OR] 1.15, 95% CI 1.09-1.22). SLE was more common in patients who were Black or African American (6.73/1000), American Indian or Alaska Native (3.82/1000), and Asian (3.39/1000) vs White (2.80/1000; OR 2.43, 95% CI 2.39-2.46; OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.25-1.53; OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.21-1.31, respectively). SLE was more common in patients who were Hispanic vs non-Hispanic (prevalence 3.93 vs 3.45/1000, OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.12-1.16). TAK was more common in patients who were Asian vs White (prevalence 0.05 vs 0.04/1000, OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.00-2.03). OP, RA, and the vasculitides were all more common in patients who were White vs Black or African American.

Conclusion

These data provide important information on the prevalence of RMDs by race and ethnicity in the United States. PCORnet can be used as a reliable data source to study RMDs within a large representative population.
Low-dose non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants in patients with atrial fibrillation
Authors: Lee Ki Hong , Park Hyung Wook
Published: September 2023

In the last decade, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), a new generation of OACs, were introduced to prevent thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation. Although vitamin K-dependent anticoagulants have long been used as OACs, their inherent disadvantage of considerable bleeding complications has limited their use. NOACs demonstrate similar or superior clinical outcomes to those of warfarin. Although strict dose reduction criteria are recommended for NOACs, low-dose NOACs are frequently utilized, especially in Asian patients. Low-dose NOACs have shown clinical outcomes similar to those of warfarin in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and real-world studies. However, off-label low-dose NOACs have shown inconsistent results compared with standard-dose NOACs and warfarin. Therefore, strict dose reduction criteria for NOACs should be followed until RCTs confirm the issues associated with NOAC underdosing.
An Energy-Efficient Multi-Channel Design for Distributed Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Kumar Sunil
Published: September 2023

This article discusses the importance of designing an efficient medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to optimize energy consumption at the data link layer while transmitting high traffic applications. The proposed protocol, EE-MMAC, is an energy-efficient multichannel MAC that reduces energy consumption by minimizing idle listening, collisions, overhearing, and control packet overhead. EE-MMAC utilizes a directional antenna and periodically sleep technique in a multi-channel environment. Nodes exchange control packets on the control channel to choose a data channel and decide the beam direction of the flow. Simulation results show that EE-MMAC achieves significant energy gains (30% to 45% less than comparable IEEE 802.11 and MMAC) based on energy efficiency, packet delivery ratio, and throughput.
A Security Method for Cloud Storage Using Data Classification
Authors: Arki Oussama , Zitouni Abdelhafid , Djoudi Mahieddine
Published: September 2023

Cloud computing is an information technology model that provides computing and storage resources as a service. Data storage security remains the main challenge in adapting this new model. The common solution to secure data in the cloud is data encryption. However, handling all the data with the same security policy does not appear to be good practice, because they do not have the same sensibility for the data owner. The present research proposes a new method to improve the security of data in cloud storage. It combines two domains represented by machine learning and multi criteria decision making, in order to provide a new classification method, that classifies data before being introduced into a suitable encryption system according to their category. A Cloudsim simulation has been used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results of the simulation exhibit that our method is more efficient and accurate and takes less processing time, while ensuring data confidentiality and integrity.
Systems-Based Physical Assessments: Earlier Detection of Clinical Deterioration and Reduced Mortality
Authors: Hamlin Shannan K. , Fontenot Nicole M. , Hooker Steven J. , Chen Hsin-Mei
Published: September 2023

Background

Despite efforts to improve early detection of deterioration in a patient’s condition, delays in activating the rapid response team remain common.

Objectives

To evaluate delays in activating the rapid response team and the occurrence of serious adverse events before and after implementation of a quality improvement initiative aimed at nurses’ performing systems-based physical assessments.

Methods

A retrospective observational cohort design was used to evaluate all patients who had a rapid response team activation during the study period.

Results

A total of 1080 patients were included in the analysis: 536 patients before the quality improvement initiative and 544 patients after the quality improvement initiative. The delay in activating the rapid response team decreased from 11.7 hours in the before group to 9.6 hours in the after group (P < .001). In the after group, fewer patients were transferred to the intensive care unit (36% vs 41%, P = .02) and those who were transferred had 3.58 times greater odds of death than those who stayed at the same level of care. The after group had a 44% reduction in the odds of mortality compared with the before group.

Conclusions

When nurses focus on conducting a systems-based physical assessment early in their shift, delays in recognizing a patient’s deteriorating condition are reduced, fewer patients are admitted to the intensive care unit, and mortality is significantly reduced.

Published: September 2023

Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is a broad theory of human development and wellness, with strong implications in education. According to SDT, three psychological needs are essential settings for self-growth, integrity and well-being viz., competence, autonomy, and relatedness (CAR). This study investigates the relations of junior secondary students’ physics achievement with the satisfaction of their Basic Psychological Needs (CAR). A mixed methods approach was used in the study and selected a convenience sample of 855 junior secondary students and 8 principals in all five educational zones in Jaffna District in the North Province, Sri Lanka. The student related quantitative data were collected using standard Korean Basic Psychological Needs Scale (K-BPNS) with four-point Likert scale and assessment test papers for each Grade. Qualitative data were gathered in interviews from eight principals to explore their views on current situation of physics teaching-learning processes according to the framework for comprehending motivation in SDT. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively using SPSS 20.0. Qualitative data were analysed in narrative analysis. The results revealed that students’ satisfaction with BPN (CAR) factors were directly correlated with their achievement in physics.  Principals’ perception on Reeve’s student-teacher dialectical frame is not at a satisfactory level. Thus, this study provides essential information for policymakers on enhancing students’ physics achievement at the junior secondary school level.

Authors: Awoniyi A. J. , Ogunmola O. A. , Babatunde O. T. , Daniel O. M.
Published: September 2023

Telfairia occidentalis leaves are known to possess many therapeutic potentials such as antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anticholesterolemic etc. To maximize their use in phytomedicine, the conditions used in preparation methods are crucial. Therefore, this study estimated the effect of extraction temperature on the phytochemicals, minerals, and antioxidant properties of T. occidentalis leaves. The powdered samples of T. occidentalis leaves were extracted using water at 1000C and 250C, respectively, followed by the phytochemical, mineral and antioxidant analyses of the plant extracts. The concentration of most constituent metabolites in the cold extract of T. occidentalis leaves was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of the hot extract. The highest mineral concentrations in hot and cold extracts of T. occidentalis leaves were sodium (2.22 mg/L) and potassium (2.77 mg/L), respectively. In the antioxidant study, the EC50  values (131.20 ± 1.70 μg/ml and 105.08 ± 0.54 μg/ml) of the hot extract of T. occidentalis leaves were significantly (p < 0.05) lower than those of the cold extract (228.17 ± 23.03 μg/ml and 151.47 ± 14.68 μg/ml). The study reveals that the extracts hold varying biological importance. The cold aqueous extract can be an excellent nutritional adjuvant for the supply of essential nutrients, whereas the hot aqueous extract can act as an important agent in ameliorating pathological conditions thrive on excessive free radical generation. Therefore, the different extraction procedures can be utilized based on the desired biological outcome.

Exertional Heat Stroke Survival at the Falmouth Road Race: 180 New Cases With Expanded Analysis
Authors: Stearns Rebecca L. , Hosokawa Yuri , Belval Luke N. , Martin David G. , Huggins Robert A. , Jardine John F. , Casa Douglas J.
Published: September 2023

Context

A high number of exertional heat stroke (EHS) cases occur during the Falmouth Road Race.

Objectives

To extend previous analyses of EHS cases during the Falmouth Road Race by assessing or describing (1) EHS and heat exhaustion (HE) incidence rates, (2) EHS outcomes as they relate to survival, (3) the effect of the environment on these outcomes, and (4) how this influences medical provider planning and preparedness.

Design

Descriptive epidemiologic study.

Setting

Falmouth Road Race.

Patients or Other Participants

Patients with EHS or HE admitted to the medical tent.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

We obtained 8 years (2012 to 2019) of Falmouth Road Race anonymous EHS and HE medical records. Meteorologic data were collected and analyzed to evaluate the effect of environmental conditions on the heat illness incidence (exertional heat illness [EHI] = EHS + HE). The EHS treatment and outcomes (ie, cooling time, survival, and discharge outcome), number of HE patients, and wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) for each race were analyzed.

Results

A total of 180 EHS and 239 HE cases were identified. Overall incidence rates per 1000 participants were 2.07 for EHS and 2.76 for HE. The EHI incidence rate was 4.83 per 1000 participants. Of the 180 EHS cases, 100% survived, and 20% were transported to the emergency department. The WBGT was strongly correlated with the incidence of both EHS (r2 = 0.904, P = .026) and EHI (r2 = 0.912, P = .023).

Conclusions

This is the second-largest civilian database of EHS cases reported. When combined with the previous dataset of EHS survivors from this race, it amounts to 454 EHS cases resulting in 100% survival. The WBGT remained a strong predictor of EHS and EHI cases. These findings support 100% survival from EHS when patients over a wide range of ages and sexes are treated with cold-water immersion.

Authors: Eberman Lindsey E. , Edler Nye Jessica R. , Nye Emma A.
Published: September 2023

Context

Sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) are individuals with sexual orientations, gender identities, or expressions (or a combination of these) that differ from cultural norms. Sexual and gender minorities often face workplace discrimination and report decreased physical and emotional well-being from discrimination.

Objective

To explore the workplace climate of SGM athletic trainers (ATs).

Design

Sequential mixed-methods study.

Setting

Web-based survey and interviews.

Patients or Other Participants

Criterion sampling of SGM ATs (117 survey participants and 12 interview participants).

Data Collection and Analysis

We modified the LGBTQ Inclusion Assessment and the Organizational Self-Assessment for the survey and developed a semistructured interview script (scale-level content validity index = 0.94). We used means ± SDs, frequencies (%), and the consensual qualitative research tradition to characterize participant responses. Trustworthiness was established through reflexivity (researchers checking bias throughout the research process), member-checking, multianalyst triangulation, and internal and external auditing.

Results

Participants indicated their workplace was inclusive (24 [20.5%]), somewhat inclusive (29 [24.8%]), or not inclusive (14 [12.0%]) or did not indicate at all (50 [42.7%]). Respondents most often noted they were unsure of which stage of change their organizations and organizational units were in addressing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, pansexual, intersex, asexual, 2-spirit, and all within the community of queer and transspectrum identities (LGBTQPIA+) concerns in the workplace as well as specific actions taken for inclusion. Two domains emerged from the interview data: safety and inclusion. The safety domain represented aspects of the workplace climate that made participants feel safe and includes organizational initiatives (12/12), patient-centered policies (7/12), local and federal regulations (7/12), and signaling (12/12). The inclusion domain represented how participants felt a sense of belonging to the organization through their own experience (12/12), through the experiences of their patients (9/12), and through an infrastructure designed for inclusion (12/12). Participants expressed both affirmative and negative feelings of safety and inclusion throughout their responses.

Conclusions

Organizations must take both structural and cultural actions to address the concerns of exclusion and lack of safety.

Preparing competent citizens through appropriate instructional approach: How do instructors in three Ethiopian universities conceptualize and practice 21st century pedagogical skills?
Authors: Getahun Amsalu Molla , Worku Mulugeta Yayeh , Tamiru Alemayehu Bishaw
Published: September 2023

This study aimed to investigate how instructors at three Ethiopian universities conceptualize and practice 21st century skills in classrooms. To achieve this purpose, a qualitative case study design was employed. Using a purposive sampling method, three universities in the Amhara national regional state of Ethiopia were selected. From these universities, ten participants were selected purposively. Semi-structured interviews and observation were used to collect data essential for the study. The data collected through these methods were thematically analyzed. The results revealed that participants had a limited understanding of 21st century skills. To be specific, their conceptions reflected the conventional pedagogical approach rather than the pedagogy of the 21st century. On the other hand, participants believe that 21st century skills are important for both instructors and their students. However, they had difficulties to practice these skills in the teaching-learning process. Finally, the implications of these findings for future research and policy initiatives are presented.
The practice of time management by Debre Markos college of teacher education students: Multitasking, procrastination, task prioritization, and technology use
Authors: Mesfin Atalay , Gebremeskel Melaku Mengistu
Published: September 2023

This study attempted to examine the time management practices of students and the state of different factors of time management (multitasking, procrastination, task prioritizing, and technology use) at Debre Markos College of Teacher Education. Based on students’ problem of meeting deadlines to properly carry out and submit assignments, students’ time management practices, the status of the factors described, and differences among students based on sex and field of study regarding those factors were examined. The study employed descriptive survey design of the quantitative approach involving 113 students selected through a proportional simple random sampling technique. Questionnaire data were analyzed through mean, one sample t-test, independent samples t-test, and analysis of variance. Findings unveiled that students were not good enough in their time management practices. Paradoxically most students were multitasking, using technology, and procrastinating on the one hand and prioritizing their tasks, on the other. Although they do not have significant differences in their task prioritization, female students were more procrastinating than their male counterparts in their academic tasks. More male students than females were multitasking and using technology. Although patterns of moderate differences were observed in terms of fields of study, the statistical outputs imply that there were lots of variances among students both in their practice of procrastination and technology use.
Experience of legal formation of interfaith relations in the context of European integration and globalization processes
Authors: Kolyukh Valeriy , Shestopalov Roman , Kovtun Oleksii , Taraban Yurii , Dei Maryna
Published: September 2023

The integration process in European states inevitably requires developing a unified system of legislation and, consequently, actualizes the search for a unifying vector for a new model of common European law. The social system of values, formed under the substantial influence of religion, has become such a vector. In the context of integration processes, religion represents a determinative factor that forms the common public consciousness of the nations where interfaith organizations are important social institutions that carry out activities aimed at supporting their religious and some international state initiatives. This article aims to analyze the activities of interfaith organizations in the context of political and legal integration in Europe and to determine the influence of the religious factor on the globalization processes. The authors of this article analyzed a set of legal instruments and mechanisms for ensuring European integration based on the religious community. The article puts forward the hypothesis that the effective integration process requires the rule of law and the mechanism of legal regulation of social relations to proceed from a single system of values formed in the conditions of unity of perception of the spiritual and material world.

Se expone que el término pensamiento crítico está fuertemente influenciado por la lógica de la modernidad y el colonialismo, el cual antepone la racionalidad a la afectividad y a la propia praxis. De la mano de filósofos de la educación como Paulo Freire, se defiende la importancia de desarrollar una praxis crítica transformadora en los distintos entornos pedagógicos. Se considera necesario reconocer las dificultades epistémicas y estructurales de la educación formal para una pedagogía decolonial.

Las raíces históricas y culturales de una sociedad se identifican en el mapa mundial, así como permiten entender las problemáticas en las cuales se encuentra inmersa, y los museos que ejercen la gestión del conocimiento son una mediación importante para lograr el eslabón entre el pasado, presente y futuro; de allí que se constituya como un gran desafío en la actualidad el lograrlo. El presente trabajo pretende establecer la relación que deben mantener los museos con la gestión del conocimiento a través de una revisión de la literatura, encontrando que supone un reto para la gran mayoría de los museos de la República Mexicana.

Se presenta un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales que relaciona las actitudes ambientales (ACA), las intenciones de comportamiento proambiental (ICA) y el comportamiento proambiental (CPP) en estudiantes de ingeniería e ingenieros activos. Las variables se relacionan mediante tres hipótesis que son validadas estadísticamente con información obtenida de 873 estudiantes y 573 ingenieros mediante un cuestionario, y se usa la técnica de mínimos cuadrados parciales. Los resultados indican que hay una diferencia en la relación entre las variables de las ICA y el CPP, siendo estas más altas en los ingenieros activos que en los estudiantes. Se pudo demostrar una relación directa y positiva entre las ACA y CPP, así como entre las ACA y las ICA, las cuales son estadísticamente iguales.
Capital cultural y relevancia motivacional impuesta: una propuesta de triangulación.
Authors: Castro Mattos Miguel Ángel , Teves Quispe Julia , Quintana Otero Ramiro Norberto
Published: September 2023

La propuesta describe una triangulación de datos entre perspectivas constructivo-estructuralista y fenomenológica, basada en una revisión del concepto de capital cultural y habitus de Bourdieu y la relevancia motivacional impuesta. El habitus es el concepto clave para garantizar la comparabilidad entre investigaciones sociológicas y fenomenológicas y desarrollar una triangulación que cumpla con la relación individuo-sociedad. Se proporcionan ejemplos de la aplicación de perspectivas diferentes, incluyendo la fenomenología, en hechos como la desigualdad social, la economía y el origen del poder desde la corporalidad. La propuesta busca unir dos perspectivas teóricas diferentes para obtener una comprensión más completa de los fenómenos sociales.
