Sense of coherence, locus of control, self-efficacy and job satisfaction
Authors: Rothmann S.
Published: August 2019

Job satisfaction is a complex variable and is influenced by situational factors of the job environment as well as dispositional characteristics of the individual. Recently there has been renewed interest in the role of dispositional characteristics in predicting work-related outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the possible relationship between the dispositional factors of sense of coherence, locus of control and self-efficacy on the one hand, and job satisfaction on the other. The study population included 624 employees of 7 organisations. Sense of coherence, locus of control and self-efficacy were found to be related constructs, but only sense of coherence and locus of control were significantly related to job satisfaction. Sense of coherence, locus of control and self-efficacy predicted 30 per cent of the variance in total job satisfaction.
Does trust influence the informal lending decision? An investigative analysis
Authors: Umoren Ntiedo J.
Published: August 2019

This study analysed the role of trust in informal lending decision-making process. By applying verbal protocol analysis, this paper empirically examined the role of trust and cooperation in lender’s initial reaction to potential lending opportunities, and the lender’s assessment of the intermediary responsible for providing the initial referral of the lending opportunity. The results corroborate earlier findings, and provide sufficient evidence to confirm that about 93 per cent of lending opportunities presented to informal lenders are rejected. It also shows that considerable reliance is placed on the brokers presenting the opportunities. The result also indicates that the dearth of entrepreneurial development in Nigeria is tied implicitly to the instant trust and instant cooperation paradigm.
An inter-disciplinary perspective on the information privacy issue in a global environment
Authors: Jordaan A. C. , Jordaan Y.
Published: August 2019

The world economic system’s transformation from a dominantly mass-production model, to a mass-customisation model is seen as creating a demand for personal information on consumers. This has lead many consumers to feel the need to protect their information because businesses request personal information during commercial transactions. This conceptual paper addresses information privacy as a marketing-related issue with an inter-disciplinary nature and aims to illustrate how marketing and economics can work together in a more cohesive manner. The information privacy issue is presented as striking a fair balance between the privacy interests of consumers, the financial interests of businesses, and the sustainability of an economy in the global environment. The paper concludes that consumer information privacy will always remain an issue of protection for consumers, an ethical issue for marketers, and is fast becoming an issue of social responsibility for government.
Contagion: Does it really exist or is it simply pseudo systemic risk?
Authors: Frank Ashley G.
Published: August 2019

Financial market participants seem to have already accepted the phenomena of speculative currency attacks being temporarily correlated, with crises passing contagiously from one country to another. Yet doubt still exists about whether speculative attacks on a currency are due to its country's fundamentals or irrespective of them. More conservative economic opinion is that countries with deep mismanagement of national balance sheets and exchange rate policy as well as political irresponsibility, give rise to weaker external positions, from where they suffer higher negative spillover effects. Sadly, despite the possibility of contagious currency crises, being an important policy issue, this paper finds little support by way of systematic empirical analysis. So much so, that the choice is between opting to be a dissident, and, leaving the question unanswered. It chooses the latter.
Employees’ perceptions of performance evaluation in the manufacturing industry
Authors: Brand H. E. , Pretorius O. J.
Published: August 2019

This study determines the management effectiveness of a performance evaluation system in a national manufacturing organisation. This organisation has developed and implemented a new performance evaluation system. After 3 years since implementation, the effectiveness of the system is determined. A questionnaire was used to obtain data from a systematic sample of both employees and supervisors of the organisation. The results show that the organisation should improve certain aspects of its performance evaluation system, like the documentation of information, training of supervisors and communication of strategy and objectives.

Published: August 2019

Introduction: Staging laparoscopy (SL) is the current standard staging workup for loco-advanced gastric cancers (GCs). Materials and Methods: We analyzed the data of all patients with loco-regionally advanced, nonmetastatic GCs, who underwent SL for the evaluation of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Results: Between December 2013 and October 2016, 363 patients underwent SL, of which 75 (20.7%) were found to have PC on SL. Age ≤40 years, CA 19-9 > upper limit of normal, and low serum albumin levels (≤3.5 g/dl) correlated significantly with the presence of PC on SL. There was a statistically significant difference in the median overall survival between patients with radiologically detected PC and SL detected PC (8.67 months vs. 15.3 months;P < 0.0001). Conclusion: SL upstaged disease status in 20.7% of patients. Clinical factors, identified in this study, need further validation in larger prospective cohorts before being used in clinical practice. Patients with radiologically detected PC have lower survival as compared to those with PC on SL.

Authors: Jain Anubha , Kumar Sushil , Aggarwal Priyanka , Kumar Mohan , Gupta Vineeta
Published: August 2019

Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a poorly understood disease with heterogeneous clinical presentation ranging from unifocal bony involvement to disseminated disease with life-threatening complications. Materials and Methods: The clinical profile, laboratory findings, treatment, and long-term outcome were retrieved from maintained medical records from January 2006 to January 2016 and were retrospectively analyzed. The extent of the disease was classified as per the LCH-III trial of “The Histiocyte Society.” The assessment and categorization of treatment response followed LCH III trial definitions. Results: A total of 28 children with LCH were diagnosed. The age ranged between 5 months and 9 years, with a mean of 3½ years. The M: F ratio was 3:1. Single system, unifocal and multifocal bone diseases were seen in nine (32.1%) and two (7.1%) cases, respectively. Disseminated disease without risk organ involvement was seen in six (21.1%), whereas disseminated disease with risk organ involvement was seen in 11 (39.3%) cases. The most common presentation was bony involvement (19 [67.8%]), out of which 16 (88.8%) had skull involvement. During follow-up, 17 (60.7%) were in complete remission though five (17.8%) of them relapsed, but achieved second remission. Two (7.1%) were lost to follow-up. Six (21.4%) had progressive disease of which four expired and two abandoned treatment. Two (10.7%) refused the initiation of treatment. Conclusion: A better understanding of the disease, early suspicion, and diagnosis can improve the outcome of patients with LCH.

Published: August 2019

Background: Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) characterized by abnormal proliferation of megakaryocytes, bone marrow fibrosis, and extramedullary hematopoiesis. We did mutation profile of 50 patients of PMF and tried to correlate it with initial clinical presentation of these patients. Materials and Methods: All new and follow up patients who were diagnosed as PMF based on WHO 2016 definition of PMF were included. Mutation profile of these patients including JAK2 V617F, JAK2 exon 12, CALR and MPL mutations was done and all clinical, demographic and laboratory details were recorded. Results: Total 50 patients were enrolled out of which 29 were males and 21 were females. Out of these patients, 32 (64%) were JAK2 positive, 13 (26%) were CALR positive, 1 (2%) were MPL positive and 4 (8%) were triple negative. As compared to JAK2+ve patients and triple negative group, CALR positive patients were younger, had lower total leucocyte count, larger spleen size, lower dynamic international prognostic scoring system (DIPSS) score and higher grade of fibrosis of marrow. Conclusion: This study depicts that incidence of JAK2 and CALR mutations in Indian PMF patients is fairly similar to that in rest of the world. CALR positive patients have better clinical parameters at presentation and have better prognosis as compared to JAK2 positive patients.
Correlation of digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis features of self-detected breast cancers with human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2/neu status
Authors: Sonthineni Chaitra , Mohindra Namita , Agrawal Vinita , Neyaz Zafar , Jain Neeraj , Mayilvagnan Sabaretnam , Agarwal Gaurav
Published: August 2019

Context: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with several histological subtypes. Its prognosis and management are influenced by human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2/neu) expression. Varying grades of HER2/neu overexpression are likely to have different morphological features. Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) enhances lesion visibility and hence that it may reveal features closer to histomorphological findings. Aims: The aim of this study is to correlate digital mammography (DM) and DBT findings of self-detected tumors with HER2/neu status, to determine whether differences in imaging features can help predict the degrees of HER2/neu overexpression. Settings and Design: Prospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: For 100 consecutive patients with self-detected lumps, DM and DBT data were reviewed by two radiologists who were blinded to histopathology. Of these, 63 patients with histologically proven breast cancer were recruited and their DM and DBT findings compared and correlated with HER2neu status (scores 0–3+). Statistical Analysis: Pearson's Chi-squared test and Fisher's exact test were used (SPSS version 22.0, IBM). Results: Morphology of lesions at both DM and DBT varied with HER2/neu status (P = 0.04 and 0.015, respectively). HER2-0 tumors mostly presented as masses without microcalcifications (88.8%), while most of HER2-3+ tumors as masses or asymmetries with microcalcifications (61.9%). The presence or absence of calcifications varied significantly with HER2/neu status. Breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS) scoring varied significantly (P < 0.001) with higher HER2 signal, more frequently associated with BI-RADS 5 score. Conclusion: DM and DBT features vary with the intensity of HER2 immunostaining. Higher BI-RADS scores, microcalcifications, and spiculated margins are frequently associated with HER2/neu 3+ lesions.
As sílabas complexas: fonologia e aquisição da linguagem oral e escrita
Authors: Miranda Ana Ruth Moresco
Published: August 2019

Neste artigo são analisados dados de escrita espontânea produzidos por crianças da 1a a 3ª série de uma escola pública e outra particular da cidade de Pelotas, especificamente, grafias de palavras que possuem sílabas complexas, isto é, aquelas que não correspondem à estrutura canônica CV, com foco sobre os erros (orto)gráficos referentes aos onsets complexos e às rimas ramificadas. Os dados são discutidos à luz da fonologia da sílaba e de estudos sobre aquisição da linguagem oral e escrita. Os resultados mostram comportamento semelhante entre as duas escolas, o que reforça a ideia de que o conhecimento linguístico é o principal suporte para as produções escritas iniciais. Do ponto de vista da fonologia, os dados dão indícios de uma percepção particular da criança a respeito das codas da sua língua, o que traz implicações para discussões tanto da aquisição como da fonologia do português.

Financial Sector Assessment Program; Technical Note-Macrofinancial Analysis and Macroprudential Policy
Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC)
Authors:   International Monetary Fund. African Dept.
Published: August 2019

The regional strategy has helped stabilize the regional economic position thanks to large fiscal consolidation efforts, a tighter monetary policy, and external financial assistance. The external position improved, and external reserves picked up. However, the region remains dependent on oil revenues, with little progress in economic diversification, under-performing budget non-oil revenues and weaknesses in the financial sector.
The policy assurances included in BEAC’s letter of December 2018 were implemented as planned and the CEMAC authorities reiterated their full commitment to the strategy and their readiness to implement additional corrective measures if needed. Progress was made towards new IMF-supported program in Congo and Equatorial Guinea.

Actions by the new government since taking office in April 2018 helped to stabilize macroeconomic conditions, but the situation remains challenging. Overall growth remained subdued. While elevated, inflation is tracking down. Program performance is broadly on track, though progress on structural measures has been slower than anticipated. Healthy revenues and significant underspending resulted in a lower-than-programed fiscal deficit. All quantitative targets were met, except the end-December performance criterion on net domestic assets (NDA) of the central bank and the end-March indicative target on poverty-related spending.

Singapore’s financial market infrastructures (FMIs) have continued to operate safely and efficiently since they were assessed in the FSAP of 2013. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has taken important steps to address the recommendations made for capital market FMIs. Remedial actions were implemented or are in progress for the two central counterparties. The privately-operated securities settlement system has moved its SGD money settlements for equities and debt securities to settle at the MAS in December 2018. Two additional central counterparties and one trade repository have also entered the FMI landscape. MAS has signed a supervisory cooperation on crisis management arrangements with the U.S. authorities.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is the designated resolution authority for financial institutions, including holding companies and domestic branches of foreign banks. In this role, MAS determines if the conditions for entry into resolution are met and designs and implements the resolution strategy. The Ministry of Finance (MOF) plays only a limited role in the technical decisions concerning bank resolution, intervening when the use of public resources is contemplated.
In 2017, the passage of amendments to the MAS Act strengthened the resolution framework. It introduced enhanced resolution powers and strengthened the framework for recovery and resolution of domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs). These powers are broadly consistent with international best practices as outlined in the Financial Stability Boards (FSB) Key Attributes for Effective Resolution of Financial Institutions. The powers are generally applicable to all financial institutions.

Financial markets stabilized in May and June after a period of turmoil in late April prompted by political uncertainties and a significant increase in inflation and inflation expectations. High interest rates, seasonal dollar inflows from the agricultural sector, greater clarity on the candidates in the October election, and the
BCRA’s announcement that it may intervene to support the peso in the event of disorderly market conditions have helped better anchor the exchange rate. Modest exchange rate appreciation and continued fiscal and monetary policy restraint have supported a decline in monthly inflation in April and May. In addition, the fiscal position has been helped by higher-than-expected inflation (boosting nominal tax revenues) and a cautious approach to spending. Economic activity weakened further in Q1, but the recession is likely to have ended, with sequential growth expected to be positive in the coming quarters. Sovereign spreads remain high and, while rollover rates for federal government liabilities have been in line with program assumptions, average debt maturities have shortened, increasing gross financing needs in the months leading up to the election.

Abstract. The article is dedicated to the analysis of the International Commission of Continental Erosion (ICCE) of International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) activity since foundation in 1981. The empirical data is the collections of scientific articles, published in IAHS Red Books after symposiums and workshops, organized by the ICCE. 2460 authors published articles in Red Books, 81 % of them have publication in the one issue. The most active contributors (who have articles in 7 or more issues) compose a group of 39 scientists (1.6 % from the total number of authors). Researchers from 89 countries were published articles in the ICCE issues of Red Books. The activity of the ICCE can be described by a cyclic model of growth. It is shown that the ICCE scientific community is becoming progressively global.
Initial results of sediment yield measurement interpretation using a regional approach: Southern Italy case study
Authors: Porto Paolo , Callegari Giovanni
Published: August 2019

Abstract. The theoretical TCEV (Two Component Extreme Value) distribution was applied to interpret the sediment yield datasets available in Southern Italy. The analysis is based on hydrological data collected for twelve catchments located in Calabria and Basilicata. A hierarchical approach was used to obtain a regional parent distribution which was used to determine the return time for each event. The hierarchical approach proposed in this study includes two stages. The first stage served for calibration and made it possible to estimate the parameters of the theoretical TCEV distribution. More specifically, the hypothesis of homogeneity with regard to the skewness coefficient and the coefficient of variation was verified using the datasets related to nine catchments. The second stage consisted in verifying the goodness of the theoretical distribution on three independent datasets provided by three experimental catchments not involved in the calibration. Overall results show that, even if the TCEV distribution was conceived to estimate peak flow, its concept of “double component” can be extended to predict sediment yield on a regional scale.

Benford’s Law can detect malicious social bots
Authors: Golbeck Jennifer
Published: August 2019

Social bots are a growing presence and problem on social media. There is a burgeoning body of work on bot detection, often based in machine learning with a variety of sophisticated features. In this paper, we present a simple technique to detect bots: adherence with Benford’s Law. Benford’s Law states that, in naturally occurring systems, the frequency of numbers first digits is not evenly distributed. Numbers beginning with a 1 occur roughly 30 percent of the time, and are six times more common than numbers beginning with a 9. In earlier work, we established that Benford’s Law holds for social connections across online social networks. In this paper, we show that this principle can be used to detect bots because they violate the expected distribution. In three studies — an analysis of a large Russian botnet we discovered, and studies of purchased retweets on Twitter and purchased likes on Facebook — we show that bots’ social patterns consistently violate Benford’s Law while legitimate users follow it closely. Our results offer a computationally efficient new tool for bot detection. There are also broader implications for understanding fraudulent online behavior. Benford’s Law is present in many aspects of online social interactions, and looking for violations of the distribution holds promise for a range of new applications.

Game testing and evaluation (T&E) still have no standards to ensure quality. T&E on real devices instead of only using a software solution (e.g., emulators) has become a basic procedure for mobile software design and development, including games. This study presents the Open Device Lab community (ODL), a grassroots movement helping the Web and app community to have free access to device labs. The findings reveal how the open community can benefit the game industry.
Discolouration Studies of the Slaughterhouse Effluent by Adsorption on Two Adsorbents Made from Species Sawdust of Triplochiton scleroxilon and Milicia excelsa

Published: August 2019

The treatment of slaughterhouse effluents is a problem for our municipalities and residents. The objective of this work is to contribute to the protection of the environment through a test treatment of the effluent from the slaughterhouse of cows by adsorption on adsorbents made from sawdust. To achieve this, two adsorbents were produced based on sawdust of Ayous (Triplochiton scleroxilon) and Iroko (Milicia excelsa), and were characterized. The effluent was sampled in a Ngaoundéré slaughterhouse and then characterized in its turn. Finally, discolouration tests by adsorption of this effluent were carried out. At the end of this work, it appears that both adsorbents produced had an acidic character. They are micro and macroporous with specific surface areas from 14.77 m2/g to 69.56 m2/g for Iroko and Ayous, respectively. The effluent from the slaughterhouse of cows sampled in the city of Ngaoundéré is highly conductive and turbid with an organic matter evaluated at 4.15 ± 0.18%. The adsorbent based on sawdust of Ayous is more effective, globally allowed the reduction of more than 70% of all the organic and inorganic loads of the slaughterhouse effluent after treatment. A discolouration rate estimated at more than 90% obtained at the scale of the laboratory, these adsorbents are effective for the treatment of the slaughterhouse effluents. These two adsorbents can therefore be used for the treatment of slaughterhouse effluent in any country in the world.

Global climate change and environmental disaster are one of the most pressing ethical and existential crises of our day. This articles examines the intricacies of rabbinic tort law (nezikin) with an eye to contemporary questions of pollution and environmental degradation. Taking up three case studies, it outlines the basic thrust of the rabbinic sources and their medieval interpreters, then demonstrating their relevance for contemporary ethical debates and considering their legal and moral implications for our industrialized and globalized economy. These sources demand behavioral changes and a reverence for the world grounded in personal and communal responsibility. The Talmudic sources—read through the lens of aggadah—offer a prescriptive vocabulary for environmental activism from the heart of Jewish legal literature.

Kollisionsrecht der Vertragsübernahme
Authors: Feiler Sebastian
Published: August 2019

Wherever long-term contractual relationships exist, there may also be a need for a transfer (assignment) of such contracts. In many legal systems, this is achieved by a uniform transfer of the complete contract (sometimes also called “assignment” of the contract). Increasingly, contracts are also being transferred in international business transactions. The cases to be found are manifold.

After a look at the legal institution of the transfer of contracts in German law and some possible case scenarios, the work examines which law is applicable to such a transfer. It covers the more well-known institutions of assignment of claims, accession to and assumption of debt, and then sheds light on whether the transfer of an entire contractual relationship is also covered by the unified European conflict of laws provisions of the Rome Regulations. In addition, the contract transferred is examined: With the transfer of such contract, the question of a change of law applicable to the contract transferred arises.
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Associated with Carotid Artery Occlusion
Authors: Weymouth Wells , Pedersen Craig
Published: August 2019

Sudden, painless vision loss in patients with stroke risk factors is suspect for central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), an ophthalmic emergency that in addition to ocular treatment warrants a thorough neurologic and vascular evaluation. In addition to the high risk of concurrent stroke, carotid artery stenosis and occlusion is often overlooked during the initial evaluation. Here we report a case of CRAO with concurrent ipsilateral complete left internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and right ICA critical narrowing, dissection and pseudoaneurysm, which subsequently improved with prompt hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Published: August 2019

Morphological and allozyme analyses suggested the occurrence of a pseudocryptic species in the Lasioglossum villosulum (Kirby, 1802) species complex (Hymenoptera: Halictidae). We analysed the morphology of more than 1500 specimens and the DNA barcode fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) of 102 specimens of this species complex from several Palaearctic countries. Our phylogenetic tree reconstructions, based on maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference revealed one clade corresponding to all specimens morphologically identified as Lasioglossum medinai (Vachal, 1895) and one divergent specimen morphologically identified as Lasioglossum berberum (Benoist, 1941). The other specimens, morphologically identified as L. villosulum, aggregated into at least three other lineages in our phylogenetic trees. The tree-based species delineations methods based on the Generalized Mixed Yule Coalescent (GMYC) model and the Bayesian Poisson Tree Process (bPTP) identified five to ten candidate species within the L. villosulum species complex, with L. medinai and L. berberum consistently recognized as separated from all other candidate species. Diagnostic morphological differences were found among L. medinai, L. berberum and the remaining specimens identified as L. villosulum. No diagnostic morphological differences were found to distinguish the different phylogenetic candidate species or lineages found within L. villosulum and L. medinai. Thus, both genetic and morphological approaches support the existence of L. medinai and L. berberum as distinct species from L. villosulum.

El objetivo principal de este estudio es estimular el interés público por el campeonato LaLiga. Para ello, se propone un sistema de clasificación alternativo que utiliza variables derivadas de la lógica interna del fútbol y la calidad de los distintos equipos. Aplicando el índice de concordancia de Kendall, las dos clasificaciones se compararon partido a partido, demostrando la viabilidad del nuevo modelo con distintos niveles de competitividad. Las propiedades y limitaciones del modelo fueron comparadas con el modelo empleado actualmente en LaLiga. Proporcionar un proceso que tenga en cuenta la amplia gama de calidad de los equipos que juegan en LaLiga es una alternativa destinada a fomentar la competitividad del campeonato.

The ranking of LaLiga championship for the 2008/09 season was one of the poorest ever in terms of uncertainty. The main aim of this study is to stimulate public interest in the Spanish League championship. To achieve this, an alternative ranking system is proposed using variables derived from soccer’s internal logic and the quality of the various teams. Applying Kendall’s index of concordance, the two rankings were compared play by play demonstrating the viability of the new model, with different levels of competitiveness. The properties and limitations of the model were compared with the one currently used by LaLiga. Providing a process which makes allowances for the wide range of quality of the teams playing in LaLiga is an alternative intended to foment the competitiveness of the championship.

El mundo cambiante de hoy impone nuevos desafíos en todos los aspectos de nuestras vidas. Los cambios más destacados se han observado en la tecnología de la información y las comunicaciones (TIC). Estos cambios impusieron nuevos desafíos para el sistema educativo, las escuelas y especialmente para los docentes. Mantener el ritmo de estos desarrollos ha ganado una mayor popularidad en la cultura digital actual, y en consecuencia el interés académico aumentó significativamente en el uso de tecnologías inteligentes y modernas en el campo de la Educación Física. Hasta ahora, se ha realizado una cantidad razonable de investigación para estudiar la integración de la tecnología en entornos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Sin embargo, es necesario dedicar más esfuerzo a los reclamos e investigaciones en el ámbito de la Educación Física. Por lo tanto, este documento intenta presentar una breve descripción general sobre el tema, los enfoques, las herramientas y los estudios sobre el uso de la tecnología en el campo de la educación física.

Today’s fast-changing World imposes new challenges in all aspects of our lives. Most prominent changes have been observed in information and communications technology (ICT). These changes imposed new challenges for the education system, schools, and especially for teachers. Keeping up with the pace of these developments has gained an increased popularity in today’s digital culture, and in consequence academic interest increased significantly on using smart and modern technologies in the field of Physical Education. So far a reasonable amount of research has been done to study technology integration in teaching and learning environments. Yet, more effort needs to be spent for the claims and research within the realm of Physical Education. This paper therefore tries to present a short overview on the topic, the approaches, tools and studies about the use of technology in the field of PE.
Efecto de la pasión por la actividad física sobre el agotamiento (físico) en estudiantes atletas
Authors: Mahdavi-Jafari Z.
Published: August 2019

El objetivo general de este estudio fue investigar el efecto de la pasión por la actividad física en el agotamiento (físico) en estudiantes atletas. El presente estudio fue de tipo de encuesta descriptiva y se basó en modelos de ecuaciones estructurales. La población estadística de esta investigación fue de 350 estudiantes de educación física de cuatro universidades estatales de Teherán. Se seleccionaron de forma aleatoria por grupos y se completaron cuestionarios sobre la pasión y el agotamiento, de los cuales se pudieron utilizar 324 cuestionarios. Los resultados indicaron que la pasión obsesiva con un coeficiente de regresión de 0.23 y un estadístico T de 1.32 no tuvo un efecto significativo en el agotamiento de los estudiantes atletas. Sin embargo, la pasión consistente con un coeficiente de regresión de (-0.66) y un estadístico T de (-2.99) tuvo un efecto negativo significativo en el agotamiento de los estudiantes atletas. Además, el modelo de investigación se ajustó adecuadamente. Por lo tanto, se recomienda que los administradores y ejecutivos universitarios implementen y aceleren la planificación e implementación de acciones para informar a los estudiantes y controlar las consecuencias negativas de estas estructuras.

The general aim of this study was to investigate the effect of passion for physical activity on (physical) burnout in student athletes. The present study was of descriptive survey kind and based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this research was 350 physical education students from four state universities in Tehran. They were selected in a cluster-random way, and completed questionnaires on passion and burnout, of which 324 questionnaires were usable. The results indicated that obsessive passion with a regression coefficient of 0.23 and a T-statistics of 1.32 did not have a significant effect on the burnout of student athletes. However, the passion consistent with the regression coefficient (-0.66) and the T-statistics (-2.99) have a significant negative effect on the burnout of student athletes. Furthermore, the research model was adequately adjusted. Therefore, it is recommended that university administrators and executives implement and accelerate the planning and implementation of actions to inform students and control the negative consequences of these structures.
La economía política de las industrias de red en la Unión Europea
Authors: Trillas Francesc
Published: August 2019

Las industrias de red han experimentado cambios muy importantes en las últimas tres décadas en todo el mundo, y previsiblemente seguirán experimentándolos, impulsadas por cambios tecnológicos y económicos y también por las luchas de grupos de interés enmarcadas por parámetros institucionales e ideológicos. En la Unión Europea los cambios han ido acompañados por una creciente implicación del nivel comunitario, sin llegar a la creación de redes europeas. Paradójicamente, puede ser beneficioso para la resolución de los dilemas que se presentan en el sector eléctrico que no esté demasiado desarrollado un demos europeo, aspecto que se presenta problemático desde otros puntos de vista. Un demos europeo consolidado implicaría la existencia de una arena política europea arraigada, con una opinión pública europea, unos partidos políticos europeos, unos lobbies operando a nivel europeo... La razón por la cual esta falta de desarrollo del demos europeo puede ser favorable en sectores como el eléctrico o el de las telecomunicaciones es que esto permitiría despolitizar las intervenciones públicas en este tipo de sectores. A pesar de que la Unión Europea ha desempeñado ya un papel importante aumentando la competencia en estos sectores, puede tener un papel mucho más importante en el futuro avanzando hacia un auténtico mercado integrado donde existan redes realmente de alcance europeo.
Hacia una economía colaborativa «responsable»
Authors: Cañigueral Albert
Published: August 2019

La economía colaborativa ha emergido con mucha fuerza en una amplia diversidad de sectores productivos (movilidad, turismo, finanzas, etc.). Esta aproximación colaborativa está demostrando ser eficiente desde un punto de vista de gestión del negocio, a la vez que ofrece oportunidades de intercambio de valor a los ciudadanos (dotándolos de mayor autonomía) y reduce la huella ecológica en muchos casos. Pero incluso con estas virtudes difíciles de negar, conviene revisar con una mirada crítica y constructiva si las empresas de economía colaborativa están también ayudando a cambiar los valores de la sociedad o si solo se limitan a hacer el capitalismo más eficiente. Para el análisis en este artículo: a) discriminamos la amplia diversidad de actores de la economía colaborativa según su propósito, y b) presentamos tres líneas de exploración que han ganado interés en el último año (Sharing Business Model Compass, el cooperativismo de plataforma y la economía colaborativa procomún). Estamos ante un momento crítico para acompañar la evolución de la economía colaborativa hacia su mejor versión posible. Es un tema complejo que no debe ni puede ser simplificado.
Panarquía monetaria
Authors: Corrons August
Published: August 2019

En este artículo se analiza la sostenibilidad y el desarrollo del sistema monetario bajo el enfoque sistémico del pensamiento complejo, un pensamiento alejado de lo simple y lo convencional, que tiene en consideración no únicamente los distintos actores que intervienen en un sistema, sino también las relaciones e interacciones entre ellos. Este pensamiento considera los sistemas no como unos estados estáticos y permanentes, sino como equilibrios dinámicos asociados a la adaptación y el cambio. El sistema monetario, como sistema socioecológico, está sometido al comportamiento dinámico de un ciclo adaptativo, el cual, a su vez, forma parte de una panarquía de sistemas emplazados en distintas escalas espaciales y temporales. Únicamente si se tiene en consideración esta red anidada de sistemas interconectados entre sí, se puede garantizar la viabilidad de cada uno de ellos en particular y del grupo en su conjunto. Tal y como se argumenta durante el artículo, el actual monopolio de dinero en forma de deuda bancaria ha llegado a un punto tal de rigidez y centralización que se ha convertido en insostenible. Muestra de ello es la crisis sistémica que estamos viviendo en la actualidad. Bajo el enfoque sistémico del pensamiento complejo, en este artículo se analiza cómo la introducción de monedas complementarias al sistema monetario ayuda a fomentar precisamente la evolución del mismo, contribuyendo también con ello a la evolución del propio sistema planetario, tanto a nivel social como económico y ambiental.
La economía del futuro debe ser social y solidaria
Authors: Garcia Jané Jordi
Published: August 2019

Desde la década de 1980 proliferan alrededor del mundo las iniciativas socioeconómicas regidas por lógicas distintas a la acumulación, el máximo beneficio y el consumismo, propias de la economía capitalista. Estas nuevas iniciativas aparecen en todo el ciclo económico: la gestión de los recursos, la producción, la comercialización, el consumo, el sistema financiero, la distribución del excedente y la circulación monetaria. Una de las formas más extendidas para denominarlas es economía social y solidaria, y en el futuro pueden devenir una alternativa a la economía dominante.
