Naviguer à l’aveugle dans le flot urbain
Authors: GADRAT Sabine
Published: March 2023

Comment s’approprie-t-on une ville quand on ne la voit pas ? En explorant des récits d’auteurs aveugles, en nous appuyant sur la littérature, la psychologie, l’architecture ou les techniques de réadaptation, nous interrogerons la découverte de la ville quand on est aveugle ou malvoyant et, par nécessité, piéton. Quels sont les repères, les obstacles, mais aussi les possibilités de dérive urbaine quand l’image de la ville, tel un puzzle, est constituée de divers morceaux qui s’assemblent : sensations, mots des autres, mémorisation, imagination. Loin de l’oculocentrisme, cette étude nous plongera dans une autre lecture de la ville, celle, pour paraphraser Jacques Semelin, du point de vue de la « non-vue ».
Itinéraire et perception : lecture de la ville en deux trajectoires à partir de Perdre le corps de Théo Ananissoh et de Le Chasseur de lucioles de Janis Otsiemi
Authors: MOUENGA MAKINDA Michelle
Published: March 2023

Les textes Le Chasseur de lucioles de Janis Otsiémi (2013) et Perdre le corps de Théo Ananissoh (2020) s’inscrivent tous deux dans une démarche de réactualisation du discours littéraire africain sur la ville. Celle-ci passe du statut d’élément de narration subsidiaire à celui de figure prépondérante autour de laquelle se construit la narration. S’émancipant l’un et l’autre du carcan générationnel de la représentation de la ville au travers du prisme des lieux institutionnels (palais présidentiel, camp militaire, prisons, hôpitaux, asiles psychiatriques, etc.), nos auteurs nous invitent à une lecture de la ville revisitée. Ils construisent grâce au mode de la perception l’image d’une ville moins « générique », dont les contours sont très peu définis, a contrario de ce que produirait une carte géographique. Il émerge ainsi une ville plus à soi, émanant d’une vision plus intimiste des lieux décrits. À l’aide des principes de la géocritique de Bertrand Westphal et par la lecture du mouvement dérivationnel des protagonistes, il conviendra d’étudier les modalités nouvelles de cette représentation, ainsi que le positionnement des auteurs en rapport à l’espace décrit.
N-Acyl-1,2,3-triazoles - key intermediates in denitrogenative transformations
Authors: Motornov Vladimir , Pohl Radek , Klepetářová Blanka , Beier Petr
Published: March 2023

Direct N-acylation of 1,2,3-NH-triazoles aimed at obtaining elusive N-acyl-1,2,3-triazoles was investigated. A preference for the formation of thermodynamically favoured N2 isomers was established and an influence of the hard/soft character of the electrophile on the regioselectivity of acylation was found. Although N-acylated 1,2,3-triazoles are hydrolytically unstable compounds, they were isolated and fully characterized, including crystal structure determination of examples of N1 and N2 acylated products by X-ray difraction. N1- and N2-acyltriazoles interconvert in the presence of Bronsted or Lewis acids, which explained the efficiency of triazole cleavage transformations proceeding via N1-acylated triazoles. Efficient synthesis of enamido triflates from NH-triazoles proceeding via the intermediacy of N2-acyl-1,2,3-triazoles was developed.

Vibrational spectroscopy in supersonic jet expansions is a powerful tool to assess molecular aggregates in close to ideal conditions for the benchmarking of quantum chemical approaches. The low temperatures achieved as well as the absence of environment effects allow for a direct comparison between computed and experimental spectra. This provides potential benchmarking data which can be revisited to hone different computational techniques, and it allows for the critical analysis of procedures under the setting of a blind challenge. In the latter case, the final result is unknown to modellers, providing an unbiased testing opportunity for quantum chemical models. In this work, we present the spectroscopic and computational results for the first HyDRA blind challenge. The latter deals with the prediction of water donor stretching vibrations in monohydrates of organic molecules. This edition features a test set of 10 systems. Experimental water donor OH vibrational wavenumbers for the vacuum-isolated monohydrates of formaldehyde, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, tetrahydrothiophene, trifluoroethanol, methyl lactate, dimethylimidazolidinone, cyclooctanone, trifluoroacetophenone and 1-phenylcyclohexane-cis-1,2-diol are provided. The results of the challenge show promising predictive properties in both purely quantum mechanical approaches as well as regression and other machine learning strategies.

The aim of the presented paper was to carry out a review of the internal structure of alloys used for high pressure die casting (HPDC) and to experimentally perform a structural analysis of AlSi9Cu3(Fe) alloy. Several castings with varying casting parameter – maximum plunger speed vmax were cast. In pre-selected critical locations, a change in porosity was observed with the change of the speed, and the casting samples with vmax = 2 and 3 m∙s-1 showed the lowest porosity. The effect of vmax was also observed on the shape and size of the structural components, where at higher vmax the eutectic Si grew in length and decreased in thickness. EDS analysis determined found intermetallic phases to be α-Al(Fe,Mn,Cr)Si in the shape of a rhombic dodecahedron with sizes as small as 2 µm and Al2Cu occurring in both modifications – oblong grains and globular ternary eutectic.

Gear transmission can consist of gear wheels that are made of different materials and technologies. The manufacturing process of gear wheels depends mainly on the required properties and the choice of material. Less expensive methods can be used for gears where the load is minimal and high precision is not required. Such methods include, for example, the production of plastic wheels by injection into molds or additive manufacturing. Today, additive technologies are being used more and more, which, among other things, are also used to produce gears. In this article, various types of additive technology are described, as well as materials that are often used in this method of production.
Antibacterial, simulated digestive system tolerance and colon cancer cell lines

Authors: Hussin A. , Abdul Manan M. , Abdullah Sani N.
Published: March 2023

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widespread in nature and are one of the major microbial
groups involved in the fermentation of different types of food. LAB possess a large
number of metabolic properties that are responsible for the organoleptic characteristics of
the final product including antioxidants, organic acids, antimicrobial compounds,
modulating and improving microbial balance in the gut. Therefore, to determine the
appropriate LAB for the development of functional food products, commercial LAB strain
screening had been carried out. The antibacterial activity, tolerant to acids (pH 2, 3 and 4),
bile salts (0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0%) and adhesion to colon cancer cell lines (HT29 and
SW480) of several LABs (Lactobacillus paracasei UALpc-04™, Lactobacillus plantarum
UALp-05™, Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS®-1, Bifidobacterium bifidum UABb-10™
and Streptococcus thermophilus UASt-09™) were performed. The studies indicated that
Lb. plantarum UALp-05™ and B. bifidum UABb-10™ showed more than 106 CFU/mL
viability when tested against acid and bile saline with higher adherence to cancer cell lines
compared to other strains. The antibacterial activity showed that these two LAB strains
also gave a higher inhibition zone of 13 to 17 mm against five strains of pathogens
(Escherichia coli ATCC® 0157™, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC®
53648™, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (MDC15), Streptococcus bovis ATCC®
9809™ and Listeria monocytogenes ATCC® 51772™). Our results indicated that Lb.
plantarum UALp-05™ and B. bifidum UABb-10™ strains could be used as adjunct
cultures for contributing to the health of gastrointestinal system and decreasing the risk
factor of colon cancer.

Implementing Sustainable Development in Postwar Lebanon. (c2022)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Kassab Danielle
Published: March 2023

Sustainable development has been a topic of global interest for the past few decades. In 2015, the United Nations launched 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in order to improve the quality of life of this generation and future generations. Particularly, SDG 15 titled “Life on Land” calls on member states to preserve biodiversity and protect the environment. Developed countries are finding it easier to achieve this goal, while developing countries are mostly prioritizing other challenges. Lebanon, a developing country that is politically and religiously divided, has been grappling with many internal and external conflicts resulting from its 15-year civil war that ended back in 1990. To answer the key question of the extent to which Lebanon was able to effectively pursue sustainable development, specifically SDG15, this thesis examines the work of the two entities responsible for the attainment of SDG15 which are the Ministry of Environment and local environmental groups in Lebanon. The Ministry of Environment and environmental groups have been working on protecting biodiversity and providing reforestation techniques to farmers in the country which is in line with sustainable development. However, they have both fallen behind in critical areas such as stopping land excavation (for querying stones) and building dams without due consideration to their effectiveness and environmental consequences. The thesis contends that the close relationship between the political and business elites and insufficient governmental accountability were behind these failures. Despite these structural obstacles, the Ministry of the Environment and environmental groups have been able to make some progress towards meeting SDG 15.
What are the Impacts of Art on Syrian Refugee Youth in Lebanon?. (c2022)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Haidar Fatemah
Published: March 2023

Since 2011, a huge number of Syrian refugees have been forced to leave their country due to one of the world‘s bloodiest civil wars. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR 2022), Lebanon hosts the world's largest number of refugees per capita and square kilometer, with a government estimate of 1.5 million Syrian refugees. Forced displacement has massive negative effects that are difficult to overcome without the necessary tools, especially when hate speech is encouraging violence toward this category of individuals. Driven by the need to look at ways to improve Syrian refugee lives in Lebanon, this research examines how art can positively affect Syrian refugee youths' experiences in the Lebanese community. This thesis presents an overview of the role of art projects in Syrian refugee youths' lives. To illustrate understanding, I have used a qualitative research strategy based on in-depth interviews. The study demonstrates the challenges Syrian refugees have been facing in Lebanon and asserts how art projects have been helpful in the most severe situations. Results indicate that art projects have had a positive effect on the Syrian refugee youth in the programs studied, building self-confidence, encouraging diversity, and clarifying misconceptions. Moreover, it argues that art is a tool to empower the Syrian refugee youth morally and financially, by allowing them to exhibit their works and put their artworks into practice. The study seeks to raise awareness of the role of art projects in improving the Syrian refugee youths' lives in Lebanon and prompts policymakers to consider art as a critical tool while applying strategies regarding the Syrians‘ coping mechanisms in Lebanon.

The Impact of Investor Type on Short Selling Performance: An Analysis of Individual Investors
Authors: Woo Mincheol , Kim Meong Ae
Published: March 2023

Focusing on individual investors’ transactions, we investigated the features and performance of short selling exclusively executed by each investor type. The empirical results are as follows. First, individual investors are more active in exclusive trading than are other investor types, which is distinctive in the KOSDAQ (Korea Securities and Dealers Automated Quotations) market. Second, exclusive trading by individual investors showed losses in most periods after the trading date, regardless of the short selling weight. Exclusive trading by other types of investors showed profits in the groups of stock dates, even with lower short selling weights. Exclusive trading by individual investors showed profits only in the group with the highest past return, whereas exclusive trading by other types showed profits in the groups, even with negative past returns. Third, exclusive trading by individual investors showed a negative association with trading performance when the relationship was estimated from regressions. Trading executed by all investor types, or by both foreign and institutional investors, showed a positive association with performance. These results suggest that exclusive trading by individual investors is not based on information. Individual investors can be better off by selecting stock dates that both foreign and institutional investors short sell.

The general objective is to analyze the factors that contribute to social conflicts that limit the implementation of the planned mining investments and evaluate their impact on national and regional development. The theoretical approaches that support research at the macro level are the problems of institutionalization of subsoil ownership that unequally affects the rights of those involved in the sharing of their benefits; the poor distribution of tax revenues generated by mining. At the regional and local level, the persistence of relative poverty due to the culture of the limited good and the effect of mining exploitation on water availability and the impact of land and agricultural production. The data source is of secondary origin and uses indicators such as: GDP, Mining production, mining export, investment in mining, tax contribution, among others, published by INEI, MINEM, MEF and BCRP, Ombudsman, SUNAT and others. The general conclusion is that the aforementioned factors concur to question the current modality of exploiting the mining resources that are exhaustible and that from the point of view of the peasant communities and the surrounding population, this exploitation of the resources that they consider should benefit them as a priority cancels their chances of getting out of backwardness and poverty.

The research had two objectives, the first objective was to build indicators for the efficiency of expenditure and physical efficiency for the performance of the students of the second grade of primary the method of data envelopment analysis (DEA), the second objective was to find the determinants of the efficiency of education spending. First, the results show that the most efficient departments in education spending in the 2009-2016 period, under the DEA approach with constant returns to scale both under the input orientation approach and under the product orientation, were Ica and Piura; while with variable returns to scale were Ica, Piura, Arequipa and Tacna. Secondly, regarding physical efficiency, the most efficient departments under the DEA analysis with constant returns to scale, both product-oriented and input-oriented, were Moquegua, Tacna, Madre de Dios, Ucayali and Puno; while low variable returns to scale were Moquegua, Tacna, Madre de Dios, Ucayali, Puno, Apurímac and Loreto. Third, the results suggest that the efficiency of public spending on education is positively related to the years of education of the population over 15 years of age, the quality status of the school premises, and the mining canon, with the mining canon being the that has greater predictive power.

Published: March 2023

Background: Tobacco is known as a major cause of various preventable non-communicable diseases and kills half of all its users. With a greater prevalence in the rural community compared to the urban, this global health burden is substantially malignant. This study aimed to bridge the gap in the lack of adequate statistical information pertaining to prevalence and determinants of smoking and smokeless tobacco use in the rural population of Karnataka.Subjects and Method: This randomized community interventional study was conducted in primary health center areas of Karnataka, India. A total of 4,576 persons were interviewed (2,087 males and 2,489 females). Subjects ?30 years of age and residents for a minimum of six months were included. Mentally challenged, bedridden or differently abled subjects were excluded. The study employed a validated questionnaire adapted from the WHO STEPS questionnaire concerning demographical information, behavioral, physical, and biochemical measurements. Besides tobacco, informa-tion on use of beedis, cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco products (snuff, chewing tobacco) were also elicited. Data analysis of socio-demographic characteristics (age, educational/ marital/ occupational status) was carried out only for the participants with a current smoking habit. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 18.0.Results: The overall prevalence rate of current smoking and smokeless tobacco habit in the study population was 54.8% (95%CI= 53.40 to 56.20) and the prevalence rate of ever/past users was 39.7% (95%CI= 38.26 to 41.10). Genderwise analysis predicted a higher prevalence of males currently smoking, and among them, most were 50 to 59 years of age (43.3%), illiterate (42.7%), widowed/ separated (39.8%), unskilled (44%), and semi-skilled workers (30%).Conclusion: Both genders participate in tobacco use, prevalence of smoking was higher among men and consumption of smokeless tobacco was higher among women. Subjects aged 50-59 years, illiterate, divorced/widowed/separated and, involved in unskilled or semi-skilled labor exhibited greater prevalence of tobacco habit compared to other determinants.Keywords: noncommunicable diseases, global health, tobacco use, tobacco smoking, smokeless tobacco.

Published: March 2023

Background: The problem of narcotics abuse is drug users through injecting needles. Injecting drug users are any person who uses narcotics, psychotropics and addictive substances by injection. In addition, another understanding states that injecting drug users (IDU) or Injection Drug Users (IDUs) are users of narcotics/drugs with injecting media. Injecting drug use (IDU) is one of the main causes of HIV infection due to sharing of contaminated injection equipment.Subjects and Method: The meta-analysis was carried out using the PRISMA flowchart and the PICO model. Population = adolescents and adults. Intervention= IDU/Injection Drug User. Comparison= Not an IDU/Injection Drug User. Outcome= HIV/AIDS events. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases including PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus. These articles were collected over 3 months. The keywords to search for articles are as follows “IDU (Injection Drug User)” AND “life style“ ”HIV/ AIDS ”. There were 15 studies, 9 cross-sectional and 6 cohort studies published in 2012-2022 that met the inclusion criteria. Analysis was performed with Revman 5.3.Results: 15 articles with a study design of 9 cross-sectional and 6 cohort studies from Canada, China, Ukraine, Virginia, Nepal, Cambodia, Scotland, Boston and Africa. Studies show that IDUs (Injecting Drug Users) have a 2.17 times risk of developing HIV/AIDS compared to non-IDUs for HIV/AIDS, and these results are statistically significant (aOR= 2.71; 95% CI= 1.22 to 6.02; p= 0.010).Conclusion: IDU (Injection Drug User) increases the incidence of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) / AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).

Principios morales en educación (secciones I, II y III)
Authors: Dewey John , Quintero Ania , Murillo Alejandro
Published: March 2023

John Dewey (1859-1952) es reconocido por dar continuidad al legado de las primeras elaboraciones del pragmatismo de Charles Pierce y Williams James y a su vez por desarrollar su propio análisis sobre la dimensión social y política de este movimiento filosófico, aporte que sustenta las contribuciones a otros campos del saber y de manera especial a la pedagogía. La reflexión sobre la educación representa un asunto central en el pensamiento del filósofo estadounidense, desde el desarrollo teórico reflejado en su prolífica obra clasificada como pedagógica y en su actividad política en el movimiento progresista. La doble arista de la vida de Dewey es coherente con uno de los principios pedagógicos promulgados por él: la unión indisociable entre la dimensión moral e intelectual en la formación humana a través de la experiencia, aspecto que fundamenta su crítica a la educación tradicional de su tiempo, la cual propende por el desarrollo de capacidades intelectuales hacia un fin último (apropiación de asignaturas escolares o preceptos morales), fenómeno que se evidencia en la imagen del ciclo escolar como proceso que prepara al niño para la vida adulta por encima, o mejor, a pesar de su experiencia presente. El análisis sobre dicha relación es tratado ampliamente en el texto Moral Principles in Education, publicado por primera vez por Dewey en 1909 bajo el auspicio de la firma Houghton Mifflin Company, de ee uu., y difundido en 2008 en su versión electrónica por el Proyecto Gutenberg, de donde se extraen los fragmentos originales que en esta edición se traducen al español. Por las razones señaladas, se considera fundamental para la filosofía de la educación contemporánea la difusión de la citada obra en lengua castellana, por la vigencia de sus planteamientos en la reflexión del papel de la escuela, pero sobre todo de la educación, en la formación moral del sujeto, no como un asunto del futuro ciudadano, sino como un aspecto inherente a la vida escolar cotidiana.

Applications of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) are highly required and needed in Sudan to keep oil supply at stable levels. ”FUL” Oilfield in Sudan has shallow reservoir affected by big boundary and bottom water drive with high crude oil viscosity. This research, through a comprehensive analysis of the current producing wells, perforation intervals, CO2 temperature analysis, steam parameters optimization which using two approaches (deterministic and stochastic) were analyzed, using a combination of continues steam flooding, CO2 assisted steam flooding, and cyclic steam stimulation in the pilot test sector. CMG-STARS and CMOST AI simulators software was used in this study. By determining recovery factor (RF) as objective function. It could conclude that: CO2 assisted steam flooding even it could decrease the water cut, but its effect to increase the oil recovery factor is not considerable. Continuous steam flooding has the best oil recovery from these three methods.
CONTEXTUALISING THE CONTESTED: XR AS EXPERIMENTAL MUSEOLOGY
Authors: Rivera-Carlisle Joanna
Published: March 2023

Museums are becoming increasingly multi-medial experiences and with the emergence of the metaverse (Coates, 2021), immersive technologies (XR) are projected to form an important part of future museum experiences. With options to provide a multiplicity of non-hierarchical information, support individualised paths through exhibitions, and experiential visits, XR has the potential to help keep visitors engaged around complex and nuanced information (Mulcahy, 2017). Working on devices that most museum visitors already own, XR technologies present a promising move towards more inclusivity, accessibility, and active audience engagement. Contributing to research on the multiple uses of XR in UK museums, this paper focuses on how XR can be operationalised to address contested displays in Western museums. Using an external app for the British Museum as an example, this paper discusses the challenges arising from this intersection, including the entrenchment of immersive technologies in colonial power dichotomies, the risks of performative virtual interventions, and the conflicting agencies museums, companies, and individuals must navigate in this context. The author suggests, as a possible experimental approach, wiki-based XR interactions which engage with non-Eurocentric epistemologies and are co-created by communities commonly disenfranchised in Western museum spaces.

The aim of the current paper is to analyze the influence of process parameters on the dimensional accuracy of parts manufactured by Ramor 550 and Ramor 400 armored steel, using the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM). Two working regimes were used and the processing quality were quantified by measuring the dimensional accuracy of four parameters (three lengths, an angle and a radius). The obtained results emphasized that working regime 002 leaded to larger dimensional deviations compared to working regime 001. Related to the material, the dimensional deviations were larger in case of Ramor 550 armored steel.

The influence of the sizing agent and filler on the physical-mechanical and surface properties of paper from the cellulose mass of the inner layer of the bark of mulberry tree branches has been studied. According to standard methods, the mechanical strength and absorbency were studied. Surface absorbency for one-side wetting was determined by the method of Cobb(30), by determining the mass of water absorbed by the paper surface when wetting one side of the test sample. It was found that it is advisable to add a sizing agent in the range from 1 to 1.5 g per 100 g of dry cellulose raw materials, since an increase in the additive to 2 g helps to reduce the interfiber bonding forces by 21 %. The addition of 6 g of kaolin affects the distance between the fibers, which reduces the mechanical adhesive forces by 12.5 %. During the analysis of the surface properties of paper samples, the sizing efficiency was found to be from 22.5 to 30 % with an increase in the addition of sizing glue, which can be explained by densification of the structure, which prevents the penetration of aqueous solutions. The addition of 2 to 6 g of kaolin also increases water resistance from 17.5 to 25 %. With the help of a mathematical model, rational values of absorbency were revealed with a composition of 92 %, with a sizing agent of 1.5 g and an amount of filler of 4 g. The resulting mathematical model can be used as the basis for controlling the surface characteristics of paper during its production.

Penurunan kasus COVID-19 di Indonesia menandakan status pandemi mulai bertransisi menuju endemik. Endemik COVID-19 bukan mengartikan bahwa virus COVID-19 telah hilang sepenuhnya sehingga masyarakat tetap perlu menjaga pola hidup sehat salah satunya menjaga sanitasi. Penggunaan sabun dirasa kurang praktis sehingga perlu dilakukan inovasi produk sanitasi berupa travelling paper soap berupa sabun kertas yang memudahkan untuk dibawa kemana saja. Tujuan dari pengabdian ini adalah melakukan pendampingan pembuatan travelling paper soap guna meningkatkan sanitasi endemik COVID-19 serta membantu meningkatkan keterampilan dan perokonomian masyarakat di Desa Tanjung Pering Sumatera Selatan. Metode pengabdian masyarakat yang digunakan pada kegiataan ini yaitu berupa praktek, penyuluhan, bimbingan teknis dan pendampingan. Pengabdian dilaksanakan dalam waktu kurang lebih 2 bulan kepada Ibu-Ibu PKK di Desa Tanjung Pering Sumatera Selatan. Sebelum dilakukan pendampingan, diberikan pengantar terkait pentingnya mencuci tangan menggunakan sabun di masa endemik COVID-19 ini. Banyak ibu-ibu PKK yang belum memahami pentingnya penggunaan sabun dan lebih memilih menggunakan handsanitizer yang dirasa praktis untuk dibawa kemana saja. Pembuatan yang dilakukan sederhana sehingga kedepannya ibu-ibu PKK dapat menerapkannya sendiri dirumah dan dapat menjadi wadah usaha baru untuk dikembangkan. Selain itu, produk travelling paper soap yang telah dibuat dapat dimanfaatkan untuk menanggulangi masalah penularan COVID-19 di masa endemik ini. Pemahaman ibu-ibu PKK tentang pentingnya penggunaan sabun meningkat setelah pengabdian ini serta ibu-ibu PKK mendapatkan keterampilan dalam pembuatan produk Travelling Paper Soap.

EL ENFOQUE DE DERECHOS DE LA NIÑEZ EN LA POLITICA PÚBLICA: EL ACCESO DE POBLACIÓN NO POBRE A LA RED NACIONAL DE CUIDO Y DESARROLLO INFANTIL (REDCUDI) EN COSTA RICA
Authors: Esquivel Danny Marcelo
Published: March 2023

James Heckman (2011), Premio Nobel de Economía, plantea que los niños y las niñas que se crean en entornos menos favorecidos tienen menos probabilidad de éxito. La desigualdad y la delincuencia se pueden reducir por medio de la intervención temprana y la educación. En Costa Rica, la inversión pública en la niñez se realiza a través de varios programas, destacándose, como uno de ellos, la Red Nacional de Cuido y Desarrollo Infantil (en adelante, REDCUDI). Este programa se ha enfocado, principalmente, en la atención de población en condición de pobreza, limitando las posibilidades de que los niños y niñas no pobres puedan tener acceso a servicios de cuidado y desarrollo. Este estudio aborda las acciones que ha implementado la Administración Alvarado Quesada (2018 – 2022), bajo el enfoque de derechos, para garantizar el acceso de los niños y niñas no pobres a los servicios de la REDCUDI. La investigación comprende un período de dos años, correspondientes a los dos últimos años de dicho mandato (del 8 de mayo de 2020 al 8 de mayo de 2022). La misma describe esa gestión en lo correspondiente al acceso de los niños y las niñas de familias no pobres a los servicios de cuidado y desarrollo infantil, bajo un enfoque de derechos de la niñez. El investigador establece como hipótesis que las acciones ejecutadas durante los dos últimos años de la Administración Alvarado Quesada (2018 – 2022) para garantizar el acceso de los niños y las niñas de familias no pobres a los servicios de la REDCUDI, son coherentes con el enfoque de derechos de la niñez. Esta investigación identifica la coherencia entre el enfoque de derechos de la niñez y las acciones implementadas por el Gobierno de la República, para garantizar el derecho de los niños y las niñas no pobres a recibir atención integral de calidad. Desde este enfoque, la gestión de Gobierno debe cumplir con los compromisos asumidos internacionalmente, en los cuales se ha reafirmado el principio del interés superior de los niños y las niñas, así como su condición de sujetos portadores de derechos.
