“El desplazamiento de personas generado por la crisis humanitaria en Venezuela”
Authors: Llamas Valeria , Vecchioni Sabrina Paula
Published: November 2022

En el año 2016 la situación social, económica y de seguridad motivó al gobierno de Venezuela a declarar el Estado de excepción, el cual se ha prorrogado desde entonces  mientras se vulnera el sistema de justicia, la libertad expresión y de reunión, utilizando en forma excesiva la fuerza, deteniendo arbitrariamente y persiguiendo a defensoras y defensores de los derechos humanos. En medio de esta crisis humanitaria, miles de personas se han visto forzadas a desplazarse fuera del territorio venezolano para resguardar su vida e integridad. Según el Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados (ACNUR), las personas solicitantes de asilo, refugiadas y migrantes venezolanas convergen en el mayor éxodo en la historia de América Latina. Como respuesta a ello, a nivel regional, el marco normativo destinado a la protección de personas observa la convergencia de instrumentos del sistema universal de protección como la Convención sobre el Estatuto de Refugiados (1951), interamericanos como la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos y, regionales, como la Declaración de Cartagena del año 1984. Esta última amplía la definición del estatuto de refugiado siendo incorporada en las legislaciones nacionales. Asimismo, con motivo del trigésimo aniversario de la Declaración, los Estados asumieron un nuevo compromiso a largo plazo conocido como plataforma “Cartagena +30”, en el cual se sientan las bases para evaluar el panorama regional y adoptar un marco estratégico en términos de protección a las personas refugiadas y desplazadas. La situación generada por Venezuela presenta un desafío para los países para la región poniendo a prueba la naturaleza humanitaria de los procedimientos de asilo. Consecuentemente, los Estados e instituciones de cooperación regionales debieron abordar la problemática a partir de la adopción de instrumentos complementarios a los existentes como la Declaración de Quito sobre Movilidad Humana de ciudadanos venezolanos en la Región y la Plataforma de Coordinación Regional Inter-agencias para refugiados y migrantes de Venezuela. El presente trabajo busca analizar las respuestas regionales al fenómeno descrito, así como evaluar la plena vigencia de los compromisos asumidos tanto en los instrumentos internacionales como regionales buscando determinar si las normas existentes tienen la virtud de constituirse en un marco práctico de aplicación capaz de garantizar el acceso efectivo a la protección internacional del estatuto de refugiado.

Published: November 2022

La producción de carne bovina en Ecuador crece de la mano de las exigencias de los consumidores y para mejorar los rendimientos del sistema de crianza de bovinos de carne es necesario emplear herramientas que entreguen información fiable e inmediata sobre el crecimiento de los animales y la ecografía se presenta como una opción útil para alcanzar este fin. Por lo tanto, en el presente estudio se evaluaron por ecografía 224 bovinos cebuanos mestizos, menores de 25 meses, sobre los que se evaluaron dos características físicas relacionadas con el rendimiento carnicero: área de ojo de lomo y espesor de grasa dorsal. Además, los resultados de la observación fueron comparados con dos variables que se emplean en el país para definir rendimiento al desposte: peso vivo y rendimiento de la canal caliente. Se encontró mucha variabilidad en el grupo estudiado, sin embargo, los valores promedio de área de ojo de lomo (42,84 cm2) y espesor de grasa dorsal (4,8 mm) fueron fácilmente evaluados. Adicionalmente, el análisis de correlación determinó que el área de ojo de lomo guarda relación positiva con el peso vivo (r = 0,69) y el rendimiento de la canal (r = 0,56). Esto sugiere que la medición ecográfica es útil como técnica para la determinación de características relacionadas con el rendimiento carnicero incluso en las condiciones de producción del país.

Economic activity had experienced a slowdown due to the Covid-19 virus outbreak, which hit the economy in various countries. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that GDP growth on a global scale will reach a figure of minus 3% by 2020. Poverty and income inequality are still the main problems in developing countries that can aggravate their condition. The technique used in this study is to use explanatory methods with descriptive analysis, using primary data with data collection methods using questionnaire techniques, interviews, and document analysis. The population used in this method is farmer households, with sampling carried out by random sampling. The results of this study show that economic access is the main thing that causes a household to still have difficulty in meeting basic needs.
The Significance of a Community Institution on Education of Street Children in Semarang City
Authors:   2Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang, Kertati Indra , Cristiani Charis ,   2Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang
Published: November 2022

: It is difficult to care for street children in the city of Semarang. It is a large problem in all Indonesian districts and cities. Children living on the street are a vulnerable and marginalized minority whose advantages are difficult to quantify over time. Even while there is a legal foundation for dealing with street children, doing so is not straightforward. There are too many street children for each to be revealed individually. Socially, street children interact with a variety of social components, including their parents, the Social Service, the Police, NGOs that provide help, the shelter environment, the coordinator's supervisor, and contemporaries who are not just children but also adults. The number of children living on the streets rose substantially. The number of street children in Semarang city was 55 in 2015, 192 in 2016, 383 in 2019, and 255 in 2021. In 2021, the number of street children is projected to decline to 255. The rising distribution area population in the city of Semarang becomes challenging to manage. Together with the non-profit NGO called as Anantaka, 15 children living on the streets and their families participated in a participatory urban assessment to determine the efficacy of this strategy. The findings of the mentorship indicate that street children's ability for learning is still inadequate, despite the fact that the NGO that assists them have been active for decades. Children who do not have a consistent schedule hinder the learning process, while parents are unable to assist their children's education since they must make a living. The local government has made every effort to empower street children, but their enormous number and widespread dispersion have restricted its reach. Children living on the streets are trapped in a cycle of poverty that has not been much altered.

Unemployment and Suicide in the United States: The Import of Addressing Cross-Sectional Dependence
Authors: Kunce Mitch
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Recent reviews of the sociological and economic-based ecological studies of suicide find cyclical unemployment to be a key suicide risk factor, though the evidence presented is mixed at best. The ambiguity of the ecological associations appear to stem from faulty statistical methodologies. Panel treatments offer advantages over conventional time-series methods by exploiting cross-section variation. However, if the added cross-section units are cointegrating (dependent) and independence is presumed, incorrect statistical inference and inconsistent coefficient estimation can result. Herein, we fully address the import of cross-sectional dependence on the ecological relationship between U.S. unemployment rates and suicide rates using an 81-year panel of the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. When proper allowances are made for cross-section dependence at each step of the examination, we find no significant statistical association, short-run or long-run, running from unemployment to suicide rates in the U.S. Results of this sequential analysis highlight potential sources of the ambiguity found in the literature.

Habitat type and structure preferences in ants: results from four peat bogs in Auvergne (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). - The link between habitats and ants was studied in the Parc naturel régional des Volcans d’Auvergne to understand better the ecological conditions favorable to the species. The study area was composed of four peat bogs in the Puy-de-Dôme. The method consisted in the description of the habitat (type and structure) and the inventory of ants by baits within 1149 plots of 16 m2. The analyses highlight links between habitat and myrmecofauna within these peat bogs. The species concerned are Formica picea Nylander, 1846, Formica lemani Bondroit, 1917, Lasius platythorax Seifert, 1991, Myrmica ruginodis Nylander, 1846 and Myrmica scabrinodis Nylander, 1846. The bibliographic elements concerning the ecological preferences of the different species are globally confirmed. Formica picea and Myrmica scabrinodis are particularly associated with raised bog habitats with a low vegetation structure. Formica lemani is found almost exclusively in mesophilic grasslands where it prefers higher vegetation. Lasius plathythorax is found in raised bog and low marsh habitats and transitional bogs in particular, with low vegetation. Only Myrmica ruginodis is favored by tall vegetation structures and preferentially frequents molinia and megaphorbia.
‘Tail-dipping’ to drink from an open water source in Cebus imitator (Primates: Cebidae) in a protected area of Costa Rica
Authors: Collier Sophie , Auster Roger
Published: November 2022

Primate species demonstrate high levels of intelligence, innovation, and social learning. These characteristics give rise to a high likelihood of new behaviours occurring and being socially transmitted to other individuals within a group. Capuchin monkeys are group-living and are commonly considered to be among the most intelligent non-ape primates. They exhibit a large repertoire of complex behaviours and have been shown to be capable of innovating to problem solve.  However, observations of new behaviours in wild populations are rare in comparison to captive populations. Here we describe Panamanian white-faced capuchins (Cebus imitator) carrying out a behaviour which has not been previously documented in capuchin species and may be related to predator avoidance. This behaviour was video-recorded and to our knowledge is the first record of a capuchin species using tail-dipping behaviour to access an open water source in the wild.

Pragmatic Markers in an Appellate Court Judgment: General Brigadier, A.M Adekunle (Rtd) V. Rockview
Authors: Kalejaiye Abiola , Osisanwo Wale
Published: November 2022

Purpose: Linguistics is the scientific study of language; however its meta-implications in Appellate court judgment is yet to be given as much scholarly attention as other legal genres. Most studies on courtroom and particularly court judgement have focused on stylistic analysis, speech act and genre analysis; consequently studies on non-propositional meanings are still lean. Therefore, this study in the bid to further describe language of judges and account for how language is organised to achieve justice, investigated the nature and function pragmatic markers in a select Nigerian Appellate Court Judgement.

Methodology: Using a Purposive random sampling technique, the study selected a property case judgement titled General Brigadier, A.M Adekunle (Rtd) V. Rockview from the Nigerian Weekly Law Reports (1999-2004). It adopted Fraser’s 1996 Pragmatic Marker Theory and mixed method of analysis –The quantitative was used in analysing the frequencies of the types of pragmatic markers employed by the judge while pragmatic imports of the markers in the ApCJ were discussed qualitatively.

Findings: These analyses revealed that the selected ApCJ, though linguistic, is also replete with the four variants of pragmatic markers: Basic (44.9% marker), commentary (37.8%) and discourse markers (10.35%) and parallel (3.45%) identified by Fraser’s .The appellate judge used the basic markers particularly (the declarative markers) to build up the fact of the case and signal his opinions about them and the imperative markers were verdict pronounced. Commentary markers with (37.8%) were the second class of pragmatic marker observed in the (ApCJ). It comprised the following : Hearsay (3.45%), evidential (13.8%), contrastive markers (3.45%) assessment markers (13.7%) and emphasis marker (6.9%).The judge used more of evidential markers and assessment to predicate his judicial argumentation, implicitly  justify the trial court’s judgement and thereby build logical bases for partly disallowing the appeal .

Recommendation: The language of ApCJs is laden with pragmatic markers which serve essentially to build up and issues of the case, provide judicial argumentation and ultimately construct the verdicts. Pragmatic makers are greatly exploited by the appellate judge for effective adjudication. Therefore applied linguists and Forensic experts should critically investigate them to ascertain the correctness of the ratio dicidendi and the judge’s obiter dictum -crucial variables for establishing judicial accountability and fairness.
Drug Abuse and Crime – The Challenges to Nation Building
Authors: Nwogu Mary Imelda Obianuju
Published: November 2022

Purpose: Drug abuse and crime are very strongly linked and connected, one may precede the other. The close connect between drug use and criminal behaviour is supported by many studies. Drug use or abuse and crimes are prevalent among the youths, who are the age range most needed for productive work and nation building or development. Drugs decrease cognitive operations, making it difficult, and at times impossible for the young person to develop a functional set of values and ideals. Consequently drug and crimes pose very great and grave challenges to nation building and development of the society.

Methodology: Several books, journals, internet materials and case laws reviewed have analyzed drug use/abuse by the youths, stated the consequences and decried it.

Findings: Unfortunately, this has not received adequate, sufficient or and commensurate attention the world over, worse still in developing countries of the world as Nigeria. It has negatively affected the behavior and conduct of users particularly the younger generation and consequently a clog to nation building.

Recommendations: It is recommended that drug abuse and crimes can be drastically reduced or completely eradicated by good training and nurturing of the child by political and social institutions; putting in place adequate legal framework with effective enforcement mechanism; proper education of the public. By Comity of nations giving adequate attention to curbing the use of drugs, drug abuse and drug addiction.
Impact of Election Expenditure on Agricultural Service Delivery Expenditure in Zambia, 2000-2021
Authors: Siliya Dora , Kalaba  Felix Kanungwe , Musongole Max Chibelushi
Published: November 2022

Purpose: This paper examined the public expenditure changes between elections and agriculture service delivery. The aim was to determine how the relationship trend related to agriculture growth. Early analyses assumed that elections act as a signal for preferential public expenditure. Thus, in Zambia, agriculture would be a priority as the government claims over 70% of citizens, directly or indirectly earn from the sector.

Methodology: Times series secondary data was analyzed for descriptive statistics from 2000 to 2021.

Findings: The evidence is that agriculture public expenditure was lower than CAADP targets in this period. Agriculture research as a service received the lowest funding. The trend also revealed that there were very sharp increases in election expenditure in both the preceding year and in the year of elections. In most election years this was close to 2% of total national public spending over the study period. These election spending spikes may have induced cyclical fiscal shocks, difficult to recover from, resulting in limited fiscal space and a reduction in agriculture spending. The electoral cycle induced fiscal shocks, over time, may have also led to a downward trend in agriculture growth. The authors identify this phenomenon as the ‘functionality burden of democracy’.

Recommendation: Based on the findings the study recommends that agreed policy objectives in agriculture and CAADP commitments must become a national mission. This would mean that the agriculture goals are shared at all levels including family, schools, private sector, civil society and the media.

Load balancing on Mikrotik is a technique for distributing loads network traffic on two or more connection lines in a balanced way, so that network traffic can run optimally, maximize transfer speed, reduce response time and avoid excessive capacity usage on one connection line. There are various methods that can be used in load balancing, one of which is the ECMP method. ECMP is a load balancing method that is used to divide the traffic of two or more internet connections with the same load on each line. The application of load balancing on the internet network using the ECMP method has good performance as evidenced by the distribution of a balanced number of connection loads on each gateway, and if one source of the internet connection dies or a fileover occurs, the backup will automatically run itself by taking connections from active internet resources. The QoS measurement results in this study produce good quality because the value meets the THIPON (Telecomunications and Internet Protocol Harmonization Over Network) standard where the average throughput value is more than 2 Mbps, the average delay value is less than 150 ms, the average packet loss value is less than 3% while the mean value of jitter is less than 125 ms.
