A COVID-19 é uma doença infecciosa, que se espalhou rapidamente no mundo, caracterizando uma pandemia. Tem como agente etiológico o SARS-CoV-2, que promove infecções respiratórias, principalmente, com sintomas equivalentes ao do resfriado comum, mas também, complicações principalmente em pacientes com comorbidades. Até o momento não existem relatos de medicamento, disponível para a população, capaz de controlar a proliferação do vírus. Neste contexto, uma alternativa que emerge e também vem sendo discutida é a utilização de plasma convalescente (PC). Assim sendo, este trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar um possível recurso terapêutico para o cuidado de pacientes infectados pelo SARS-CoV-2 utilizando PC, com base em evidências da literatura. Para alcançar este objetivo, bases de dados, como Google Acadêmico, Scielo, Science Direct e PubMed, foram utilizadas na busca de evidências. Dentre os unitermos utilizados podem ser citados: “Coronavirus”, “COVID-19”, “SARS-CoV-2”, “convalescent plasma” isolados ou em combinação. O PC consiste em plasma de pacientes que já tiveram a doença e se recuperaram servindo como fonte de anticorpos específicos de origem humana, uma vez que houve o desenvolvimento de imunização humoral contra o agente infeccioso. Portanto, neste caso, a intenção é realizar a transfusão de PC para pacientes que estão doentes neutralizando o patógeno e, eventualmente, levando à sua erradicação da circulação sanguínea, já que o anticorpo circula no sangue, atinge tecidos e protege contra infecções. Ainda não existem muitos trabalhos disponíveis na literatura sobre o tema mas já mostram resultados promissores, inclusive associados com evidências anteriores de outras infecções virais como Ebola, H5N1, H1N1 e do sarampo. Conclui-se que o plasma convalescente pode ser uma terapia potencial para pacientes infectados com SARS-CoV-2 com maior risco envolvido. Não foram descritas reações adversas graves associadas à utilização de PC, mas melhoria do quadro em comparação ao não tratamento.

Mammals are under threat worldwide due to deforestation, hunting, and other human activities. In Iraq, a total of 93 species of wild mammals have been recorded including species with global conservation concern. Bamo Mountain is situated within the Zagros Mountains in northern Iraq which is a suitable habitat for wild mammals. Due to scarcity of the field survey efforts and cryptic behavior, monitoring of the wild mammals fauna in Zagros Mountain seems challenging. Therefore, we used a camera trap which seems to be an ideal way to determine species diversity of wild mammals in Bamo Mountain. Moreover, interviews with local villagers were performed. The mammalian diversity of Bamo Mountain is not fully explored but seemed threatened by local extinction due to poaching and wildlife trafficking, minefields, and annual fires. In this study, a total of eight species of wild mammals were recorded for the first time in Bamo Mountain using camera trap method including the Persian leopard Panthera pardus saxicolor Pocock, 1927, and the Wild goat Capra aegagrus Erxleben, 1777, flagship and key species of conservation concern. As far as it is concerned, the major threats on the wild mammals were discussed and some important points were highlighted towards the establishment of the protected area in Bamo Mountain.

Published: December 2020

The easternmost extent of the Pharaoh Eagle-Owl Bubo ascalaphus (Savigny, 1809) distribution has remained enigmatic due to identification problems and lack of owl research. In Iraq, B. ascalaphus has been reported from only few localities in western Iraqi deserts; while its occurrence in Iran has not been reported before this study. In 2017–2020, several new records of B. ascalaphus in western through southeastern Iraq were made and a new distribution range in western Iran was confirmed. Furthermore, field identification, interspecific relationships and conservation status of B. ascalaphus in Iraq and Iran were comprehensively discussed.
Refurbishment of an arch bridge increasing its stiffness and reducing its weight
Authors: Zordan Tobia , Briseghella Bruno , de la Grennelais E. , Siviero E.
Published: December 2020

Not infrequently, in Italy, building yards of important infrastructures take remarkably long time to be accomplished and are characterized by several interruptions and resumptions.

This is the case of the bridge over the Piave river in San Donà, commissioned in 2000 by the Italian National Road Corporation, ANAS SpA, an outstanding 500m arch structure on five bays of 100m each, located in a strategic area just outside the city of Venice.

The interruption of the construction works was, for the case mentioned, contemporary to the introduction of a new regulation, the O.C.P.M. n° 3274, concerning seismic design and seismic classification of the National territory. This fact, since the original project was characterized by a massive box girder concrete deck on pile foundations (thus not conceived for horizontal loads at first), gave rise to the necessity of starting with an updated design aiming to achieve a much lighter composite steel and concrete box girder deck.

The new deck was connected to the already built piers by means of non conventional steel-toconcrete connections ensuring hogging moment resistance at supports.

The new design of the deck is characterized by a sophisticated aesthetics and by an optimized distribution of structural material obtained through an iterative design-and-check process that, starting from a FE model of the structure with a full bottom flange of the box girder would lead to a layout with the material taken away from the zones with reduced levels of stress. At the beginning of the process, a model with a continuous and full steel bottom flange was created; in the end, two wide elliptical holes were created in the lower flange of the steel box girder.
Comparative study of highway steel girder bridge between Japan and USA
Authors: Toma Shouji , Duan Lian
Published: December 2020

A comparative study of the design example of highway steel girder bridges is performed for the same design requirements using the design codes, AASHTO-LRFD of USA and Japanese Specifications. As a result, AASHTO-LRFD-based girder height is significantly smaller than the Japanese one, which results in difference in stiffness of the girders. Also, differences exist in other design provisions such as impact factors, spacing of cross frames, limitation of deflection, etc. A study for the benchmark design is also proposed to investigate the rationality of bridge design further.
Anticipation of repair need of bridges besed on visual inspection of Finnish bridges
Authors: Äijälä Markku , Lahdensivu Jukka
Published: December 2020

All bridge structures are usually exposed to outdoor climate and are therefore deteriorated by several different degradation mechanisms, whose progress depend on many structural, exposure and material factors. Finnish bridges are very often made of concrete, and the decks of steel bridges are usually of concrete. Under Finnish climatic conditions frost damage to concrete together with corrosion of reinforcing steel constitute the major degradation mechanism that causes the need to repair concrete structures.

The repair need of concrete structures depends on already existing damage in the structure and damage facing it in the near future. Usability of repair techniques depends not only on existing damage but also on the type of structure and service life of repair.

An essential factor in determining the success of systematic bridge management is the detection of damage. Each Finnish bridge managed by the Finnish Road Administration is inspected visually every fifth year. These general inspections have been made for over 20 years. As a result we have an extensive, growing database which can be used for anticipating the repair need of bridge structures.

On the basis of that database deterioration models have been established for every type of structural member of bridges. These models are tools for finding appropriate repair methods for damages and they allow optimal timing of condition investigations and repair work.
Stuttgart 21 Main Station Shape development and Modelling of the New Station Hall
Authors: Sandner Dieter , Mok Daniel
Published: December 2020

The core of Stuttgart 21 is the new underground station with its characteristic "light eyes". The railway tracks are rotated against the existing terminal station by an angle of 90 degrees, which means they will be oriented transversely across the Stuttgart valley. This underground station is designed as a reinforced concrete shell structure, in such a way that the concrete shell is always in compression. Its "green cover" forms the link to a new municipal district on the location of the current platform area. This paper describes the development of the shape of the shell structure, from a first soap membrane model over suspended chain models and digital CAD models to discrete finite element analysis models. The creation and modelling of the system, as well as the special calculations required are explained in some detail.

Authors: Shao Changyu , Lu Yongcheng , Deng Qing'er
Published: December 2020

The Shanghai Yangtze Bridge, located over open water at the entrance of the Yangtze River, is currently under construction. A cable-stayed bridge solution with the main span of 730m is adopted to meet the navigational demands of the main channel. The bridge comprises the dual-direction 6-lane expressway and 2-lane traffic railways. In fact, the 730m cable-stayed bridge over the main channel is the longest-spanning bridge of its kind for combined highway and railway traffic. The technical standard is studied to ensure the safety of railway and comfortableness of passengers for the combined highway and railway on the same plane. As the symbolic structure at the mouth of the Yangtze River, it also needs to take the aesthetics into consideration greatly. This paper presents the design and technical characteristics of the main channel cable-stayed bridge.

OPTIMAL CONTROL ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICAL SPREAD OF MEASLES
Authors: Adewale  , Olopade  , Ajao  , Adeniran
Published: December 2020

In this paper, a five (5) compartmental model is presented to study the transmission dynamics of Measles in a population at any point in time. The model is rigorously analyzed to gain insight into the dynamical features of Measles and also, optimal control theory is applied to give an optimality system which we used to minimize the number of infected individuals and propose the most suitable control strategy for the spread of measles. It is shown that the model has a diseases free equilibrium which is globally asymptotically stable (GAS). Also, there exists a unique endemic equilibrium point which is locally stable whenever the associated threshold quantity exceeds (one) unity. We also show that there exists a solution for the optimality system. From the result, it was observed that vaccine control strategy is more efficient in reducing the number of infected individuals as compared to other control strategies.

Published: December 2020

Diante da crescente demanda mundial por alimentos, a agricultura familiar e o acesso ao crédito rural têm sido entendidos como fatores essenciais para o desenvolvimento do setor agrícola de forma sustentável. Baseando-se nesse contexto, este estudo teve como objetivo identificar a relação do crédito rural com o desenvolvimento sustentável de pequenas propriedades agrícolas no município de Prudentópolis-PR, comparando propriedades tomadoras e não tomadoras de crédito rural em relação ao atendimento das dimensões econômica, ambiental e social da sustentabilidade. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo, a partir de entrevistas e observações, em 6 propriedades rurais, sendo 3 tomadoras de crédito rural e 3 não tomadoras. Os resultados demonstram que o crédito rural é uma ferramenta essencial para o desenvolvimento das propriedades rurais. Apesar do não conhecimento sobre a aplicação do conceito de sustentabilidade, por parte dos agricultores, diferenças são identificadas nas dimensões econômica e social. De modo geral, os resultados demonstram que propriedades tomadoras de crédito rural apresentam mais medidas de desenvolvimento sustentável em relação as não tomadoras de crédito, denotando o crédito rural como uma importante ferramenta que pode auxiliar em uma produção agrícola mais sustentável.
Contemporary Substance Use in Guyana: The Prison Context
Authors: Ayres Tammy , Cameron Queenela , Warren Kristy , Kerrigan Dylan
Published: December 2020

Substance use in contemporary Guyana cannot be dismantled from the historical introduction and control of substances across the British Empire, and this is true in the community as it is in prison. In a form of transhistorical repetition, some of the substances being used have changed since colonial times, but many have also stayed the same, as have the reasons for their use. This paper follows on from ‘the History of Substance Use and Control in British Guiana’ (Moss and Toner, 2020) and explores semi-structured prisoner interviews among a group of male prisoners, which shows that substance use in prison – as in the community - is often a coping mechanism, as well as a way to pass time, escape and alleviate the pains of imprisonment. In this sense substance use is an adaptive strategy to the micro level experiences of transhistorical processes, such as social control, the development of class and ethnic politics, and were central to the nexus of exploitative social and labour relationships on colonial plantations.
Detecção Automática do Teste de Winston-Lutz em Filmes Radiocrômicos
Authors: Giacomini Guilherme , Ribeiro Victor Augusto Bertotti
Published: December 2020

Radiocirurgia estereotáxica é uma técnica altamente precisa para entrega de altas doses em um pequeno volume alvo utilizando alto gradiente de dose, exigindo precisão submilimétrica na localização e entrega de dose. Para garantir acurácia requerida, recomenda-se a verificação do alinhamento do eixo de rotação do gantry, mesa e colimador, realizada através do teste de Winston-Lutz (WL).  O teste de WL realizado através de filmes é tradicionalmente analisado visualmente, mostrando-se com variabilidade inter e intra-observador. Tal limitação pode ser evitada através da digitalização dos filmes e uso de software para análise. Uma vez que o uso de filmes em programas de garantia da qualidade para radiocirurgia ainda é uma realidade comum em muitos centros de radioterapia, o objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver um algoritmo para análise do teste de WL realizado com filme de forma tridimensional, objetiva e reprodutível. Pela análise dos resultados, o algoritmo desenvolvido conseguiu detectar com precisão o deslocamento obtido a partir do teste de WL utilizando filmes radiocrômicos de forma tridimensional, mostrando forte potencial para ser utilizado clinicamente. Sua implementação possibilita redução da subjetividade e variabilidade da análise devido à automatização do processo, possibilitando criação automática de relatórios para o programa de garantia de qualidade em radiocirurgias.
Cassius Dio and the Principate
Authors: Burden-Strevens Christopher , Madsen Jesper Majbom , Pistellato Antonio
Published: December 2020

In the Imperial books of his Roman History, Cassius Dio focuses on individual emperors and imperial institutions to promote a political framework for the ideal monarchy, and to theorise autocracy’s typical problems and their solutions. The distinctive narrative structure of Dio’s work creates a unique sense of the past and allows us to see Roman history through a specific lens: that of a man who witnessed the Principate from the Antonines to the Severans. When Dio was writing, the Principate was a full-fledged historical fact, having experienced more than two hundred years of history, good and bad emperors, and three major civil wars. This collection of seven essays sets out to address these issues, and to see Dio not as an ‘adherent’ to or ‘advocate’ of monarchy, but rather as a theorist of its development and execution.
Cassius Dio’s Ideal Government and the Imperial Senate
Authors: Lindholmer Mads
Published: December 2020

This chapter argues that Dio envisioned a surprisingly minimalist role for the Senate in his ideal government: magistrates and advisors were drawn from the senators, but the emperor should hold absolute power and the Senate should not constitute an important forum of genuine deliberation or advice. Instead, in Dio’s ideal government, the consilium was the key forum of debate informing imperial policy. Dio’s ideal government, and the place of the Senate therein, is distinctive as it broke with a long tradition of senatorial writing which idealised a system of government where the Senate played a central role. This nuances the widespread view of Dio as a ‘senatorial historian’.
Between Civilitas and Tyranny: Cassius Dio’s Biographical Narrative of the Flavian Dynasty
Authors: Madsen Jesper Majbom
Published: December 2020

In Cassius Dio’s account of imperial Rome, the Flavian Dynasty represents all the strengths and weaknesses of monarchical rule. The strength is represented with Vespasian, his display of modesty and understanding of the need to cooperate and share power with the senatorial elite. The weakness is described through the nepotism, betrayal, and uncontrolled ambition for glory and prestige that helped Domitian to power and forced the return of tyrannical rule upon the Romans. In this chapter, I shall discuss the way in which the Flavian narrative serves as a microcosm in the Roman History to demonstrate the reason for which dynastic succession was incapable of providing the stability needed for monarchical rule to reach its full constitutional and political potential.
Misunderstanding History: Past and Present in Cassius Dio’s Contemporary Books
Authors: Scott Andrew G.
Published: December 2020

At the heart of Cassius Dio’s Roman History was the charting of changes in government from the early kings to the monarchy established by Augustus, with particular emphasis on the decline of the Republic and the transition to monarchy. Throughout Dio’s analysis we observe certain individuals who serve as examples to be emulated or avoided. In Dio’s own age, emperors generally misunderstood or misinterpreted, willingly or unwillingly, these examples from the past. These failures allow us to consider Dio’s understanding of the function of historiography and his ideas about the utility of his own work. While this may lead us to the negative conclusion that Dio believed all forms of government eventually degenerate, it also leaves open the possibility that Dio considered the writing of history, and thus the guarantee of a proper understanding of the past, to have positive, transformative consequences for Rome’s monarchy.
Comparison of On-Pump and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. Our experience of participation in the international study
Authors: Gogayeva O. , Rudenko A. , Lazoryshynets V.
Published: December 2020

Aim. To present our experience in the international, multicenter, randomized clinical trial CORONARY (CABG Off or On Pump Revascularization Study) in which on-pump and off-pump CABG was compared.

Materials and methods. Eleven patients who signed informed consent and matched at least 1 inclusion criterion according to the CORONARY study protocol were randomized in Institute site. All the patients completed the EuroQol-5D questionnaire and underwent neurocognitive tests (MOCA, DSS, Trial Making test).

Results. The mean age of the enrolled patients was 62.9 ± 6.2 years. All the patients (100%) had myocardial infarction (MI) in anamnesis, 4 (36.35%) patients had cerebrovascular disease (CVD), 5 (45.4%) patients had chronic kidney disease (CKD), and 4 (36.35%) had diabetes mellitus (DM). The average number of hemodynamically marked coronary artery stenoses was 2.45 ± 0.78, the left main lesion was diagnosed in 2 (18.18%) cases. The severity of the patients’ condition according to the ES II scale averaged 4.9 ± 1.23%. Five (45.5%) patients underwent on-pump CABG, and offpump CABG was performed in 6 (54.5%) cases. The average on-pump time was 122.8 ± 23.5 minutes; the aortic clamp time was 68.4 ± 9.6 minutes. The average number of grafts was 3.5 ± 0.78. In the postoperative period, paroxysm of atrial fibrillation occurred in 4 (36.35%) patients. One (9.09%) patient had fatal ischemic stroke on day 5 after CABG. The patients were discharged on average within 8.5 ± 2.7 days. According to the study protocol, the condition of patients was monitored annually by telephone; 8 (72.7%) patients completed all visits. In 1 (9.09%) patient with recurrence of angina pectoris in 4 years after CABG we performed repeat CABG.

Conclusions. According to the Institute experience of participation in the CORONARY study, there was 1 (9.09%) death due fatal ischemic stroke in the on-pump CABG group. One (9.09%) patient from the off-pump CABG group had repeated CABG. These results of small studies are generating debates in terms of the effectiveness of CABG technique. In multicenter CORONARY trial the rate of mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, kidney failure, repeated revascularization of myocardium during 5 years of follow-up was similar in on-pump and off-pump CABG patients groups.

Authors: Vasilevich F. I. , Nikanorova A. M.
Published: December 2020

the purpose of the research is monitoring population and species composition of common blood-sucking ectoparasites of the Kaluga Region, mosquitoes and ixodid ticks, and parasitic zoonoses, in the circulation of which they are involved.

Materials and methods. The records were made in all districts of the Kaluga Region and in the city of Kaluga. We studied open meadow-field and forest-shrub stations, closed meadow-field and near-water stations, and settlement stations. The species was identified using the atlases of ixodid ticks by I. M. Ganiev, A. A. Aliverdiev (1968) and V. N. Shevkoplyas (2008), and the guidance of R. M. Gornostaeva (1999). The situation with transmissible parasitic zoonoses in the Kaluga Region was assessed based on the analysis of information from open sources of the Hygienic and Epidemiological Center of the Kaluga Region and the Veterinary Committee under the Government of the Kaluga Region.

Results and discussion. There are two species of ixodid ticks in the Kaluga region: Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus. The abundance index of ixodid ticks of the species I. ricinus is 16.8±1.32 individuals per 1 flag-hour in forest biotopes, and 11.6±1.12 individuals per 1 flag-hour in meadow biotopes, and the abundance index of D. reticulatus is 10,8±1.14 and 15.9±1.30 individuals per 1 flag-hour, respectively. Three mosquito species prevail, namely, Stegomya communis, S. vexans, and Culex pipiens. The maximum number was 8 thousand per 1 m3. During the study period, the causative agent of infectious tick-borne borreliosis was found on average in 10.6% of ixodid ticks collected from humans and in 13.2% of ticks collected in natural biotopes. The causative agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis was isolated on average in 3.1% of ixodid ticks collected from humans and 6.4% of those collected in natural biotopes. Infection rate for I. ricinus ticks infected with pathogen of infectious tick-borne borreliosis was 16.9%, and D. reticulatus 12.3%.
Use of a Bakri balloon in the management of presacral hemorrhage
Authors: Vidal Blanca Segarra , Rodriguez Raquel del Moral , Rubert Anna Serra , Abella Antonio Llueca
Published: December 2020

Presacral hemorrhage after pelvic surgery usually results in massive, life-threatening bleeding. It is often difficult to control this presacral hemorrhage with standard hemostasis techniques after rectal mobilization. Mobilization of the rectum is part of the daily maneuvers of most pelvic surgeons. This review shows a common cause of presacral hemorrhage and demonstrates that the Bakri tamponade balloon catheter can control massive pelvic bleeding. A comprehensive, detailed review of the pelvic anatomy and hemostasis techniques used to control presacral hemorrhage was conducted. Also, a case study illustrated the novel use of the Bakri balloon for effective hemorrhage control. The presacral venous plexus or basivertebral sacral veins may be the sources of significant hemorrhage during rectal mobilization. The Bakri balloon effectively targets them. The standard recommendation for safe posterior dissection of the rectum to prevent presacral hemorrhage is approaching the plane between the mesorectal fascia and presacral fascia. We found that the Bakri balloon tamponade effectively controlled presacral hemorrhage and offers advantages over conventional packing. Massive hemorrhage is a potential complication of pelvic surgical procedures. Surgeons should be aware of hemostasis techniques for managing acute pelvic bleeding. We believe that the Bakri balloon should be included as a treatment option.

В этих комплексах заметное место принадлежит изделиям с заостренным концом (наконечники стрел, острия, ножи) и изделиям, связанным с добыванием огня (кресальный кремень, скребки, куски колотого кварца, колотая галька). Также на памятнике обнаружены типичные для святилищ предметы неутилитарного назначения: фигурный кремень, каменная и костяная подвески. Фаунистический комплекс представлен мелкими фрагментами кальцинированных костей животных, среди которых преобладают кости черепов и конечностей, т.е. наиболее характерных для жертвоприношений частей тела. В отличие от других скальных святилищ, которые содержат материалы разных эпох от мезолита до средневековья, на Куполе присутствуют находки только мезолита (в виде примеси) и энеолита. Наличие двух энеолитических святилищ на коренном берегу Горбуновского палеоозера (Купол) и в заболоченной его части (VI-й разрез) свидетельствует о ярко выраженной индивидуальности культовой практики древнего населения даже в масштабах одной социальной группы

Authors: Morillo Moreno Marysela Coromoto , Morillo Moreno Milángela Del Carmen
Published: December 2020

Usualmente los conceptos calidad del servicio y satisfacción del cliente son considerados sinónimos, algunos autores establecen diferencias indicando que el alcance de la calidad esta condicionada por la satisfacción. Por ello, se estudió la relación entre ambos constructos en los servicios de alojamientos turísticos del estado Mérida, a los fines de apuntalar la calidad del servicio y el retorno del turista. La investigación sigue un diseño de investigación no experimental de campo, con un tipo de estudio analítico, en el que se usa la escala de calidad del servicio (Servqual), y a través de un muestreo aleatorio estratificado en una población de 346 alojamientos turísticos ubicados en el estado Mérida, se calculó una muestra de 186 establecimientos donde se encuestaron 400 y 397 usuarios, durante las temporadas de turismo alta y baja, respectivamente. Se halló dependencia, asociación positiva, entre ambos constructos; también se constató que la satisfacción del usuario y la categoría del establecimiento inciden en la calidad percibida por el mismo, y no la temporada de turismo, por lo que ambos conceptos no pueden ser considerados sinónimos o equivalentes. Por tanto, una forma de incidir en la satisfacción del usuario es elevando la calidad del servicio y viceversa.
Pensamiento económico de Gustav Cassel, a los 150 años de su nacimiento
Authors: Borgucci Emmanuel
Published: December 2020

Gustav Cassel fue considerado en la década de los años veinte del siglo XX como uno de los principales economistas del mundo junto a John Maynard Keynes. La reputación de Cassel descansa sobre todo en su capacidad de comunicar ideas de carácter económico de manera clara y concisa. Inicialmente, Cassel fue un liberal radical, pero después de la Primera Guerra Mundial evolucionó hacia posturas liberales de derecha. En este estudio documental, se realizará un análisis de una de las principales obras de Gustav Cassel: Theory of Social Economy (1967[1932]), mediante la identificación de sus contribuciones más importantes en materia económica, las principales influencias que recibió de otros economistas neoclásicos y las ideas que inspiraron el trabajo de otros economistas. Se concluye que una de las grandes influencias de Cassel fue el trabajo de León Walras y entre sus contribuciones más importantes fueron acerca del sistema económico, los factores de producción, la teoría del crecimiento económico y el concepto de Paridad del Poder de Compra.
Emprendimiento de jóvenes rurales en Boyacá- Colombia: Un compromiso de la educación y los gobiernos locales
Authors: Suárez Pineda Marlén , Suárez Pineda Luri , Zambrano Vargas Sandra Milena
Published: December 2020

El emprendimiento es un fenómeno que generalmente contribuye de forma significativa en el desarrollo socioeconómico de una región, y por lo tanto guarda una relación de causa-efecto con la comprensión del entorno. En este sentido, el presente artículo da cuenta de un estudio de carácter cualitativo que planteó como propósito conocer las percepciones, de los agentes sociales representativos de las municipalidades en el departamento de Boyacá- Colombia, acerca de las realidades que condicionan el desarrollo de emprendimientos por parte de los jóvenes. Para ello fueron consultados diferentes actores, con el fin de conocer las posibilidades reales de emprendimiento en cada territorio. Se encuentra que la falta de educación para comprender y participar en los asuntos del gobierno local, y la ausencia de identidad con el territorio, subordinan las posibilidades de emprendimiento a la alternativa de emigración. Finalmente, es necesario orientar programas gubernamentales con nuevas metodologías de focalización, que puedan mejorar de forma concreta los niveles de vida de las personas en dicho sector
Medición de pobreza multidimensional de la iniciativa en pobreza y desarrollo humano
Authors: Ponce María Gabriela
Published: December 2020

Este trabajo constituye una reflexión crítica a la propuesta de pobreza multidimensional de la iniciativa en pobreza y desarrollo humano de la Universidad de Oxford. Para ello en una primera instancia se ubica al lector en el contexto de la discusión sobre la pobreza: su concepción como un fenómeno multidimensional y su relación con las políticas públicas. Seguidamente se expone la propuesta de medición, así como la lógica de su construcción, plasmada en el Índice de Pobreza Multidimensional que acompaña el informe de Desarrollo Humano desde el año 2010 y especialmente el Índice Multidimensional desarrollado por la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe. Luego se sopesan algunas ventajas y limitaciones de estos planteamientos en el contexto de la discusión sobre la pobreza y las políticas públicas para su superación. Los resultados muestran cómo la multidimensionalidad ocurre con más frecuencia en condiciones de privación severa o extrema pero existen otras situaciones de carencia merecedoras de atención de la sociedad y políticas públicas. Concluyendo que esta propuesta al construir un acercamiento a la pobreza en términos de su influencia en las políticas públicas, si varias privaciones ocurren de manera conjunta, puede conducir a una intensa focalización de las intervenciones en materia de pobreza en la región.

Published: December 2020

El emprendimiento en la actualidad juega un papel trascendental en la economía global, puesto que apoya con el empleo, el desarrollo económico e inclusive la innovación de un país. El presente trabajo determina el impacto de los enfoques conductuales y gerenciales del emprendimiento en el éxito del negocio. Se realizó un estudio empírico a 252 directivos de empresas de reciente creación (de 0 a 3 años de apertura) en cuatro ciudades del norte de México, utilizando un muestreo probabilístico. A través del método cuantitativo y con la técnica de ecuaciones estructurales se pudo comprobar dentro del enfoque conductual que los rasgos personales y la motivación ejercen un impacto positivo y significativo en el éxito del emprendedor. Del mismo modo dentro del enfoque gerencial se encontró que el conocimiento del entorno favorece significativamente dicho éxito, no obstante, las habilidades gerenciales generan un efecto no significativo en el desempeño del emprendedor. Por lo que se concluye que estos resultados deben interpretarse a la luz del entorno mexicano donde el emprendedor exitoso se encuentra más apegado a los rasgos personales que a sus habilidades profesionales.

The Realization of the Right to Education in Slovenia
Authors: Šimenc Marjan , Kodelja Zdenko
Published: December 2020

The article presents the realization of the right to education, as set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in the Republic of Slovenia. At the outset, attention is drawn to the special status of the right to education, which is not only the right of children, but also adults. Moreover, the right to education is closely linked to the realization of all other rights. This article presents a general overview of the implementation of rights according to Articles 28 and 29 of the Convention. Then it outlines the problems with the implementation of the Convention in selected areas. The main points are related to the education of Roma children, the quality of knowledge, private education. The complexity of the problem of the realization of the rights of Romani children to education has been repeatedly pointed out in international RS reports on the implementation of the Convention. It is not so obvious, however, that the quality of the knowledge received by students in schools is also an aspect that should be considered from the perspective of the Convention. This article analyses the regulation of private schools: this is the area of education in Slovenia where the biggest normative and factual change has occurred in the period after the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The analysis shows that the arrangement is such that it satisfies the requirements set forth in the Convention.
