Authors: Pramono Joko , Wangi Maya Sekar , Setiodjati Josef Purwadi , Kusumastuti Dora , Ibrahim Ahmad Zubir
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Natural disasters cause resource destruction and social threats. The synergy of important institutions is facing impact. Indonesia is prone to natural disasters due to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, etc. Climate change and urbanization are exacerbating the situation. Effective law is needed, including institutional synergy, for disaster mitigation and prosecution.Purposes of the Research:  To gain a deeper understanding of inter-agency synergies in dealing with natural disasters in Indonesia, as well as to contribute to the development of a better and more effective legal framework for mitigating and overcoming natural disasters. Implementation of a more solid and coordinated legal framework is expected to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of natural disaster mitigation and prosecution efforts.Methods of the Research: This study uses a qualitative normative research method with a statutory approach. The collection of legal materials involves laws, government regulations, regional regulations, government policies, court decisions, as well as legal literature such as articles, journals and books. The analysis is carried out by identifying and selecting relevant regulations, categorizing issues related to institutional roles, resources, and responsibilities.Results of the Research: Synergy between agencies is the main key in a rapid and coordinated response to natural disasters. Several related institutions have been assigned to deal with disasters, but the implementation of existing laws and regulations needs to be evaluated and improved. In facing this challenge, the Ius Constituendum concept can be applied to strengthen inter-agency synergies related to natural disaster mitigation and prosecution. In implementing the Ius Constituendum concept, the involvement of all stakeholders and an intensive dialogue process are very important to ensure that the laws and regulations that are implemented are in accordance with the needs and conditions that are developing. By formulating and implementing the Ius Constituendum concept correctly, inter-agency synergy in managing natural disasters in Indonesia can be increased.

Perubahan Dasar Ekonomi Luar Negeri Malaysia: 1MDB, Pelupusan Aset Strategik dan Pinjaman China 2015-2016
Authors: Abadi Abdul Muein
Published: October 2023

Kes 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) membabitkan bekas Perdana Menteri Malaysia Najib Razak dianggap sebagai antara kes kleptokrasi yang kritikal. Bagi membayar hutang 1MDB, Najib melupuskan aset strategik Malaysia dan meminjam berbilion dolar dari China pada 2015-2016. Kajian ini menganalisis manipulasi tawar-menawar Perkhidmatan Awam sebagai pemboleh ubah utama yang mempengaruhi keputusan pinjaman dan pelupusan asing oleh pemimpin kleptokratik. Disimpulkan bahawa kaedah manipulasi Najib Razak mengubah tawar-menawar jenis Pemegang Amanah yang sedia ada dalam proses pembuatan keputusan ekonomi luar negeri Malaysia kepada tawar-menawar jenis kleptokratik. Akibatnya, dua hal berikut berlaku: (1) penjualan aset strategik 1MDB kepada China pada 2015 iaitu Edra Energy dan sebahagian ekuiti Bandar Malaysia, serta (2) sebahagian daripada pinjaman yang diperoleh dari China pada November 2016 seperti TSGP, MPP dan ECRL digunakan bagi membayar hutang 1MDB. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada hujah mengenai kesan kleptokrasi dalam pembuatan dasar ekonomi luar negeri.
Development of Engineering Drawing Teacher Creativity Teaching Practice Construct
Authors: Ngatiman Suriana , Saud Muhammad Sukri
Published: October 2023

Teachers play an important role in ensuring that teaching and learning become more meaningful in an effort to produce human capital with knowledge, integrity, creative and innovative thinking in line with the development of the world today. This study was conducted due to the importance of creativity in teaching as well as the need for a guide and reference for creative teaching practices, particularly for Engineering Drawing (ED) subjects based on identified research problems. This study aims to identify the constructs and subconstructs of Teacher Teaching Creativity ED. Accordingly, a fully qualitative method through expert interviews was used. A total of four experts with specific expertise and experience in the field of ED teaching were appointed to participate in semi-structured interviews. Interview findings were analysed using the saturated data analysis method. Subsequently, the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) was also employed to obtain expert agreement on the list of constructs that had been identified. Three experts were appointed to carry out the FDM process. The findings of the study indicate that there are five main constructs that need to be given attention in practicing creativity in the teaching of Engineering Drawing teachers, namely, planning creative teaching and learning, guiding, managing, developing a creative community as well as evaluating and assessing. It is hoped that these obtained constructs can be used as a reference to continue the study of developing a framework for teachers' teaching creativity as a reference and guide in practicing creative teaching in the future.
Effect of Clomiphene Citrate on Estrus Cycle and The Ova Shed in the Ovary of Female Sprague Dawley Rats
Authors: S. O Aina , Evangelshane Iranloye B.O.  Oladele Adebayo, , Kayode Atoyebi , Y. D Igbayilola
Published: October 2023

Purpose:  Clomiphene citrate (CC) is used in the management of infertile females. Estrus Cycle indices are good parameters for evaluating reproductive changes, while actual ova shed represents evidence of ovulation. This study is aimed at investigating how different doses of CC can affect the Estrus Cycle (EC), Estrus Cycle Ratio, (ECR), and ova shed (OS) in adult female rats. 

Methodology: Twenty-five (50) female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into 5 groups. Group A was controlled while groups B, C, D, and E were treated groups. Group A received 0.5 ml of sterile water. Groups B, C, and D were given 0.2 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, and 4 mg/kg respectively at diestrus. Group E was given 6mg/kg/day of CC dissolved in sterile water. The administration was done orally. A vaginal smear was evaluated for various estrus phases. ECR was calculated, and ova shed at the estrus phase was evaluated at autopsy. All data were presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Statistical significance was taken at P < 0.05

Findings: There was a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the number of proestrus, estrus, metestrus, and diestrus in treated groups compared with control. ECR value in all treated groups also decreased significantly (p<0.05) when compared with control. This study further shows that all the animal groups (A-E) released ova but there was a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the number of ova released in groups B, C, D, and E against the control group.

Conclusion: CC decreases EC. It reduced ECR, hence prolonging luteogenesis. It decreases the number of eggs released. With a large dose and prolonged use, eggs were still released even when the ova released and counted were fewer compared with when this drug was not in use.  

Recommendation: Infertile couples should copulate more at the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle when on CC to increase their chances of pregnancy. CC decreases the number of eggs released but makes the few eggs released stay longer for fertilization.

Authors: Andrade Lima Giovanna , Santos Capeletto Ferreira Giovanna , Roberto Palma Urbano Paulo
Published: October 2023

A endometriose é uma doença de etiologia desconhecida, que acomete principalmente mulheres em idade reprodutiva. A doença acontece quando o tecido que reveste o interior do útero (endométrio), fixa-se em outros órgãos localizados na pelve, causando um processo inflamatório nessas regiões. Esta inflamação pode ser causada por dor pélvica, e também dor na relação sexual, causando uma disfunção sexual. Este presente estudo, teve por finalidade analisar e investigar os relatos de casos de infertilidade e disfunção sexual em pacientes com endometriose, suas causas e tratamentos. Revisados os artigos, podemos concluir que a endometriose é uma doença que acomete um grande número de mulheres, porém continua com causas desconhecidas, e não é dada à devida atenção aos seus sintomas e complicações, o que ocasiona na inexistência de um tratamento bem elaborado.
Hapishanede Kadın Olmak: Gülsün Karamustafa’nın Mahkûm Kadınları
Authors: ORGUN SİNAN Hazal
Published: October 2023

Sanatın tarihi boyunca sanatın kendisi ve sanatçılar farklı kaynaklardan aldıkları ilhamlarla beslenerek işler üretmişlerdir. İnanç sistemleri, dinler, önemli tarihsel ya da çarpıcı olaylar, hayatın gündelik akışından kesitler, doğa, sanatçının iç dünyası, toplumsal sorunlar, kişisel deneyim ve gözlemler eserlerin referans noktalarından bazılarıdır. Gülsün Karamustafa; eserlerinde toplumun güncel ve süregelen sorunlarına değinen (göç, kadın sorunları, melezleşen yoz kültür vb.), yerelden genele ulaşabilen, çeşitli malzeme ve medyalar kullanarak eserler üreten bir sanatçı olarak tanımlanabilir. Karamustafa’nın işlerini besleyen bir önemli dayanak noktası ise bireysel deneyimleri ve bu deneyimlerinin hafızasında bıraktıklarıdır. Sanatçı, kişisel olanı toplumsalla, toplumsal olanı ise kişisel olanla harmanlayıp içtenlikli bir ifade dili yaratmıştır. 1972-1978 yılları arasında üretilmiş olan hapishane temalı resimleri bu yaklaşımın olgunlaşma sürecinin ilk basamaklarından birisidir. Hapishane Resimleri serisi sanatçının kendi tutukluluk dönemi hatıralarına dayanmaktadır. Erken dönem eserlerinin çoğunda görülen yarı naif, figüratif, anlatımcı bir dile sahip olan bu resimler, sanatçının günlüklerinden koparılmış bir sayfa gibidirler. Resimlerde bir kadın hapishanesindeki kadınların, kadınlar kadar bebek ve çocukların, yemek dağıtımı, uyumak, oyun oynamak gibi sıradan gündelik yaşamları betimlenmiştir. Çalışmada uzun yıllar sanat tüketicisiyle buluşmayan bu seriye ait resimler incelenmiştir.

Wild but edible vegetables growing in monsoon play a significant role in the sustenance of rural people. It is believed that the wild vegetables boost immunity, if consumed in certain period of time. The objective of present study is to identify the wild vegetables traditionally utilized by local communities, in rainy season who reside at the rural areas of Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra region. Utilization of wild plants as food is the oldest tradition. The edible part of these species utilized by local people include rhizomes, corms, stems, leaves, petioles, inflorescence, flowers, petals, fruits, pods and seeds. Vegetables play an important role in human diet. A diet rich in vegetables and fruits is considered healthy and supposed to reduce the possible risk of various diseases. Vegetables contain vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates which are necessary for good health. Vegetables represent a protective food and are highly beneficial for human health and also useful as a traditional medicine. Leafy vegetables are mostly herbs but leaves of shrubs and trees are also used as vegetables and are generally a good source of nutrients. Green leaf contains maximum amount of vitamins and minerals but it is low in fats and calories. Constituents present in leafy vegetables help to build teeth and protect the body, regulating its processes. An abundant amount of phytochemicals are present in leafy vegetables which act in the defense mechanism. Some leafy vegetables are a rich source of essential oils, glycosides and pigments which help to stimulate appetite. Some of them contain important digestible and nondigestible carbohydrates. Soluble and insoluble fibers in leafy vegetables help in digestion. Mineral constituents in vegetables like Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Cu etc. provide alkalizing effect and neutralize acidity produced by other foods. All these factors are necessary to grow healthy and strong.
Britain, the Albanian National Question and the Fall of the Ottoman Empire, 1876-1914
Authors: Dauti Daut
Published: October 2023

All too often Albania has been considered a relatively minor player in late-19th and early-20th century history. By contrast, this book highlights the significance of this nation and the Albanian question at this time through a detailed analysis of the relationship between Albania, Britain and the Ottoman Empire from 1876 to 1914.

Making use of a wide range of archival source materials – some of which are published here in English for the first time – this book explores British foreign policy towards the development of the Albanian national movement and parallel demise of the Ottoman Empire. In doing so it illuminates the objectives of the British government, as well as shining a spotlight on the public opinion of both the British people towards Albanian nationalism and on the reaction of the Albanians towards the British diplomatic position. By looking through such a unique lens, here Daut Dauti is able to provide fresh insight into why the Albanians were not supported by the Great Powers in their national quest in the way that other Balkan countries were and draws significant new conclusions on British, Balkan and Ottoman relations. As such, this nuanced study is vital reading for all scholars interested in modern Albanian history, turn-of-the-century British international relations and the fall of the Ottoman Empire more broadly.
Identity in the COVID-19 Years
Authors: Cover Rob
Published: October 2023

Identity in the COVID-19 Years explores the how the COVID-19 pandemic has been represented in media, communication and culture, and the role these changes have played in renewing how we understand identity, engage in social belonging and relate ethically to each other and the world.

This book explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on how we perform our identities, engage in social belonging, and communicate with each other. Understanding the onset of the pandemic as a moment experienced as cultural rupture, Cover provides a framework for understanding how selfhood, belonging, relationships and perceptions of time and space have undergone a disruption that not only is damaging to continuity and stability but also provides positive value through renewal and the re-making of the self and ways of living ethically.

Drawing on philosophic, media and cultural studies approaches, this book describes how networks of mutual care and global interdependency have been powerfully drawn out by the experience of the pandemic, yet also disavowed in some settings in favour of a problem individualism and sustained inequalities.

The roles of disruption and interdependency are examined across an array of pandemic-related topics, including health communication, apocalyptic storytelling, lockdowns and immobilities, mask-wearing, social distancing and new practices touch, anti-vaccination discourses, and frameworks for mourning the lost past and the uncertain future. By focusing on the impact of the pandemic on identity, this work explains and revisits theories of belonging and ethics to help us understand how new ways of perceiving our vulnerability may lead to more positive, inclusive and ethical ways of living.
Trail of Tears
Authors: Coates Julia
Published: October 2023

This book covers a critical event in U.S. history: the period of Indian removal and resistance from 1817 to 1839, documenting the Cherokee experience as well as Jacksonian policy and Native-U.S. relations.

This book provides an outstanding resource that introduces readers to Indian removal and resistance, and supports high school curricula as well as the National Standards for U.S. History (Era 4: Expansion and Reform). Focusing specifically on the Trail of Tears and the experiences of the Cherokee Nation while also covering earlier events and the aftermath of removal, the clearly written, topical chapters follow the events as they unfolded in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, as well as the New England region and Washington, DC.

Written by a tribal council representative of the Cherokee Nation, this book offers the most current perspectives, incorporating key issues of assimilation, sovereignty, and Cherokee resistance and resilience throughout. The text also addresses important topics that predate removal in the 19th century, such as the first treaty between the Cherokees and Great Britain in 1721, the French and Indian Wars, the American Revolution, proclamation of Cherokee nationality in the 1791 Treaty of Holston, and the U.S. Constitution.

Demography, Education, and the Workforce
Authors: Lerman Robert I. , Cellini Stephanie Riegg
Published: October 2023

Leading experts demystify demographics and show how population changes affect everything from government policy to business opportunities to educational standards.

Demographics, as Peter Drucker famously pointed out, is one of the seven sources of entrepreneurial opportunity. Why are demographics so important? Consider the quality and quantity of the U.S. labor force. Birth rates largely determine the size of the future workforce, and the numbers of younger and older people affect public spending on education. What's more, patterns in marriage and child-bearing affect the labor force, and migration and immigration alter the mix of job skills, languages, and cultures in the U.S. workforce.

While business and government must react to these trends, they can also shape them. Immigration, education, welfare, and tax policies influence births, family composition, and the locations of people and businesses. In private markets, demography interacts with income levels to affect the mix of goods purchased, the types of workers in demand, and the range of new business opportunities available. Demography is a key item in every business or policy planner's toolbox. Demography, Education, and the Workforce shows how to use its principles to advantage.
Health and Wellness in Antiquity through the Middle Ages
Authors: York William H.
Published: October 2023

Early medical practices are not just a historical curiosity, but real stories about people and health that may teach us much about the 21st century. This intriguing volume offers a comparative examination of early medicine and health care in regions as varied as ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, China, the Islamic world, and medieval Europe.

Health and Wellness in Antiquity through the Middle Ages compares and contrasts health-care practices in seven different cultures from around the world. In considering the range of medical practitioners in each society, and the kinds of health care they provided, it examines the development of a written medical tradition, the methods of medical education, the practice of surgery, and the theories and practices of pharmacy. Other topics include the application of medicine in specific contexts, such as the treatment of women, children, and those with mental illness.

Another important theme explored is the impact of religion and state institutions on the development, implementation, and results of medical care as experienced by real people in real life. Throughout, the book offers an international historical perspective, which allows for greater comparative and critical understanding of how different cultural beliefs influenced the development and management of health care.
The Healthcare Debate
Authors: Shaw Greg M.
Published: October 2023

With the debate over health care consuming the nation, this timely book looks at the evolution of healthcare policy in the United States throughout its history.

Concise, authoritative, and unbiased, The Healthcare Debate provides meaningful context for thinking about one of the most controversial public policy issues the United States faces. It traces the evolution of the argument over the government's role in healthcare financing and delivery since the early 1800s, with an emphasis on the major reform efforts since the mid-20th century.

Following the complex dynamics of public health policy across U.S. history, The Healthcare Debate brings together a wide range of voices on the subject—presidents, policymakers, reformers, lobbyists, and everyday citizens. Each of its eight chronologically organized chapters focuses on the battle over government involvement in healthcare in a specific era, drawing on historic documents and the latest retrospective research. With President Obama making healthcare reform his top domestic priority in his first year in office, this remarkable new book could not be more timely.

The History of Iceland
Authors: Jóhannesson Guðni Thorlacius
Published: October 2023

Based upon the most recent research, this thought-provoking, up-to-date survey of the history of Iceland provides unique insight into the challenges facing a small nation in a globalized world.

In more recent times, Iceland has faced other major challenges, most notably its economic fall in 2008 when a nationwide failure of its financial systems eroded it from its former position as one of the most developed and wealthiest countries in the world.

The History of Iceland describes how a small nation situated on a rocky and isolated island struggled for centuries to survive but then rose to great prosperity in the modern era. The work provides a comprehensive summary of Iceland's history that shares a tale of independence versus interdependenceâone that underscores how recent events have forced a people with great pride in their unique heritage to reconsider well-established notions about themselves as a nation.

Based on the most recent research, this work is the first comprehensive overview to cover in detail the collapse of Iceland's economy and its subsequent effect on its people. Organized into seven main sections that chronologically cover the history of Iceland from the island's settlement to the present day, the book concludes with a revealing discussion of how each period has been perceived by later generations of Icelanders.
Osama bin Laden
Authors: Mockaitis Thomas R.
Published: October 2023

This concise biography of the world's most notorious terrorist tells the fascinating story of the evolution of a wealthy businesman's son to the 9/11 mastermind who declared war on America.

Osama bin Laden: A Biography offers a concise, fact-based portrait of a man whose rise from obscurity to notoriety coincides with some of the most traumatic events of the 21st century. It follows bin Laden's story from his life in Saudi society in the 1960s and 1970s to his religious conversion, his emergence as a jihadist leader, his horrifying terrorist attacks, and his near-mythic status in parts of the Muslim world today.

Drawing on a wide range of sources, Osama bin Laden finds the political and religious roots of a worldview that combines devout faith with a belief in violence and terrorism. The book pays particular attention to the spread of radical Islam from Egypt to Saudi Arabia and beyond, as well as the development of Al Qaeda and its current scope and capabilities.
Powell and Pressburger’s War
Authors: Colón Semenza Greg M. , Sullivan   Jr. Garrett A.
Published: October 2023

A focused study on Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s cinematic contributions to the war effort, arguing for the centrality of propaganda to their work as film artists.

Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger are widely hailed as two of the greatest filmmakers in British cinema history. The release of their first movie, The Spy in Black, barely preceded the beginning of World War Two, and a number of their early masterworks, including The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, A Canterbury Tale, and A Matter of Life and Death, were produced in the service of the war effort. And yet, scholars have neglected the extent to which these films and others, most made with help from the government’s Ministry of Information (MOI), self-consciously explore the relationship between art and propaganda. This book shows that Powell and Pressburger saw no contradiction between their aesthetic ambitions and their cinematic war work: propaganda imperatives were highly conducive to their objectives as both commercial cinema practitioners and artists.

Drawing on production materials from the archives of the British Film Institute, this book charts three phases in Powell and Pressburger’s wartime career: from first time collaborators who strive to reconcile popular cinematic forms with developing notions of what constitutes effective propaganda (Part One); to accomplished, and sometimes controversial, propagandists whose movies center upon Britain’s relations with its enemies and allies (Part Two); to filmmakers whose responsiveness to the propaganda requirements of the late war is matched by a focus, shared by the MOI, on what the post-war future would bring (Part Three).
Imputación temporal
Authors: Sanz Gadea Eduardo
Published: October 2023

I. IMPUTACION TEMPORAL
A. Introducción.
El momento en que la renta definida como gravable por las normas delimitadoras del hecho imponible debe someterse a tributación es de trascendental importancia, porque una forma de no pagar impuestos o de reducir considerablemente la carga tributaria es diferir el momento de integración de la renta obtenida en la base imponible.
A tan importante cuestión está dedicado el artículo 56 de la Ley 18/1991 y los artículos 14, 15 y 16 del Real Decreto 1841/1991. Sin embargo, en otros artículos también hallamos normas que, aunque de manera indirecta, se refieren al momento de obtención de la renta.
Un estudio sistemático de la materia aconsejaría dividir su estudio en función de los diferentes conceptos que componen la renta del sujeto pasivo. Sin embargo, este planteamiento no encuentra un adecuado reflejo en la norma legal que se refiere a la «imputación temporal de ingresos y gastos» (art. 56).
El artículo 56 tiene su directo antecedente en el artículo 26 de la Ley 44/1978, y regula la materia bajo los siguientes criterios:
– El principio o criterio general de imputación es el devengo que, sin embargo, como más adelante veremos, se concreta en la exigibilidad.[...]
Las subvenciones: normativa contable
Authors: Ruiz De Palacios Villaverde Mercedes , Yubero Hermosa Pilar
Published: October 2023

I. INTRODUCCION
Según el Diccionario de la Lengua Española subvención es la acción y efecto de subvenir, siendo subvenir el costear, sufragar el pago de cierta cosa. Desde un punto de vista económico podríamos decir que las subvenciones estarían encuadradas entre las técnicas de la actividad administrativa de fomento; es decir, facilitando el desarrollo de actividades o regiones económicas determinadas, con el objeto de satisfacer necesidades públicas.
El análisis de las subvenciones puede realizarse tanto desde el punto de vista jurídico como del económico-contable y fiscal.
Aunque el objeto del presente trabajo es estudiar fundamentalmente su aspecto contable, puede resultar interesante hacer una breve referencia al concepto de subvención desde el punto de vista del Derecho.
Jurídicamente, la figura de la subvención es considerada por diversos tratadistas como «atribución patrimonial», mientras que otros, fundamentalmente representantes de la doctrina alemana, la definen como «prestación administrativa».

Las nuevas obligaciones en la Ley de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales y su tipificación administrativa
Authors: Paramio Paramio Alberto
Published: October 2023

1. La LPRL ha generado un aumento, más aparente que real, de las infracciones, ya que en realidad lo que se ha dado es un crecimiento de la enumeración de las conductas infractoras.
2. Las nuevas normas publicadas recurren en exceso a conceptos genéricos e indeterminados, lo que puede obedecer a la evidente dificultad de poner en paralelo la legislación con la evolución de la técnica (principio de acción preventiva), así como el prevenir y abarcar todo tipo de situaciones.
3. Las obligaciones empresariales en materia preventiva tendrán mayor eficacia si las empresas las asumen con medios propios, evitando el recurso excesivo y exclusivo a entidades.
4. La nueva configuración de responsabilidades en los supuestos, cada vez más frecuentes, de pluralidad de empresas en un mismo centro de trabajo, adolece de criterios para centrar la responsabilidad en aquella que verdaderamente ostenta la capacidad de decisión sobre la seguridad y salud, no contribuyendo tampoco a ello la vuelta al régimen de responsabilidad solidaria.
5. Se ha producido claramente la ruptura del tradicional concepto de empresario en la relación laboral a efectos de imputar responsabilidades en la seguridad y salud (promotores; propietarios de obra; titulares del centro de trabajo; autónomos).
6. Hubiera sido deseable una uniformidad en la nueva normativa preventiva, no sólo en cuanto a las materias, sino en cuanto al tiempo de su aplicación, lo que hubiera redundado en una mayor seguridad a la hora de su aplicación.

En España la evolución de la economía y del turismo han sido dos realidades paralelas. En momentos en los que existía un débil tejido industrial, el turismo significó la posibilidad de la apertura económica al exterior, así como el elemento que permitió el equilibrio de la balanza de pagos. Esta correlación, en la actualidad, se sigue manteniendo. Así, según datos de la Organización Mundial del Turismo de 1999, nuestro país ha recibido a 51.500.000 turistas, siendo sus ingresos por este capítulo de más de 25.000 millones de dólares.
Temas tan complejos como la necesidad de incrementar el turismo de calidad, el desarrollo sostenible en determinadas zonas, la corrección de la estacionalidad veraniega de la demanda, los procesos de fusiones y concentraciones de las empresas, la necesidad de mejorar la formación y la cualificación de los recursos humanos para lograr una mayor profesionalización, la aparición de nuevos complejos de ocio o su consideración como reducto de yacimientos de empleo, han de ser resueltos con la regulación generalista de los contratos contenida en el Estatuto de los Trabajadores.

EL estudio reproducido aborda el análisis de la impugnación judicial de los laudos arbitrales, planteando al efecto soluciones normativas (cuando las hay), criterios jurisprudenciales y pareceres doctrinales. Partiendo de la consideración de las diversas modalidades de laudos, se introduce en las diversas claves procesales que deben tenerse en cuenta por graduados sociales y abogados laboralistas en el ejercicio de las impugnaciones contra aquéllos. Así, se desgranan sucesivamente en este trabajo cuestiones como la competencia judicial para conocer de estas impugnaciones; la legitimación activa y pasiva; las causas y plazos de impugnación; la modalidad procesal a seguir; la sentencia judicial que resuelve las cuestiones suscitadas y los recursos contra la misma; y, en fin, la problemática en torno a la ejecución de los laudos. Como se verá, la carencia de una solución «general» (reténgase desde este momento que sólo los laudos en materia electoral disponen de una regulación ad hoc en cuanto a su impugnación) aboca a un desmembramiento de la seguridad jurídica que se refleja en la necesidad de buscar soluciones bien «supletorias» (aplicación de la Ley de arbitraje de Derecho Privado de 1988), bien «analógicas» y «sistemáticas» (en cuanto al recurso a modalidades procesales no previstas expresamente para la impugnación de laudos, por ejemplo). Soluciones que no restañan, empero, algunas fisuras que subsisten a consecuencia de la anomia normativa existente con relación a algunos aspectos (a modo de ejemplo, en cuanto a los plazos para impugnar determinados laudos).
El nuevo marco normativo del empleo: hacia la modernización de las políticas de ocupación y el establecimiento de un modelo de mercado de trabajo facilitador de la transformación digital y la transición ecológica
Authors: Conde Colmenero Pilar
Published: October 2023

La publicación de la Ley 3/2023, de empleo, junto con el dictado de otras normas recientes que inciden en el mercado de trabajo y en las políticas de ocupación (la LO 3/2022, de ordenación e integración de la formación profesional, el RDL 1/2023, de medidas urgentes en materia de incentivos a la contratación laboral, y, entre otras, también el RDL 32/2021, de medidas urgentes para la reforma laboral, la garantía de la estabilidad en el empleo y la transformación del mercado de trabajo), han abierto un nuevo escenario regulatorio que constituye un auténtico cambio de modelo. Empujado (y financiado) por los fondos Next Generation EU de 2020, este modernizado entramado normativo sale al paso del complejo contexto económico, sanitario, social, energético, medioambiental y tecnológico que afronta nuestro país en la segunda década del siglo XXI, a la vez que intenta atajar los importantes problemas estructurales del mercado de trabajo español. El presente estudio pretende realizar un análisis crítico de estas importantes novedades legislativas (a la cabeza de las cuales se encuentra la actual Ley de empleo) para diagnosticar las fortalezas y aciertos de la nueva ordenación, reflexionar sobre las eventuales carencias y, sobre todo, comprobar si realmente se están favoreciendo los procesos de transformación digital y transición ecológica.

A Área de Proteção Ambiental Carste de Lagoa Santa se localiza a norte de Belo Horizonte - MG e é uma das principais áreas de pesquisas relacionadas a arqueologia, paleontologia, espeleologia e hidrogeologia do território brasileiro. Pouco se sabe sobre a conexão desta região com suas imediações, sendo isto uma das motivações deste estudo, assim como os riscos que as áreas ao redor de um sistema cárstico conectado podem acarretar a uma área de proteção ambiental. O caráter hidrogeológico da pesquisa compreendeu a elaboração de um modelo de fluxo, com a descrição de quatro unidades hidrogeológicas, destacando o aquífero Cárstico-fissural da Formação Sete Lagoas como a unidade mais relevante da área. Os resultados sugerem que esta unidade, conecta a área de estudo e a área de proteção ambiental. Confirmou-se a conectividade hidrogeológica entre as regiões com a existência de dois compartimentos hidrogeológicos com níveis de carstificação distintos: Compartimento Bom Jardim e Compartimento Jequitibá. O compartimento Bom Jardim representa uma região mais carstificada do aquífero cárstico-fissural, que se estende além do domínio da APA Carste de Lagoa Santa, avançando até a área caracterizada por esse estudo, e é limitado pela zona de contato entre o embasamento cristalino e os calcários da Formação Sete Lagoas. Essa condição torna a área de estudo um local de recarga do aquífero cárstico-fissural que atua na dinâmica hidrogeológica existente na Área de Proteção de Ambiental.

Ortaöğretim Öğrencileri İçin Müzede Öğrenme
Authors: ASLAN Nesrin
Published: October 2023

Müze ve ören yerleri denilince öncelikle akla tarih ve sosyal bilgiler dersleri gelmekte ve diğer disiplinlerin müzelerden kendi ders kazanımlarına yönelik yararlanabilecekleri göz ardı edilmektedir. Ayrıca müzelerden çoğunlukla okul öncesi ve ilköğretim seviyesindeki öğrenciler, öğretmenlerinin planladığı gezilerle yararlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ihmal edilmiş olan ortaöğretim kademesinde müze nesneleriyle öğrenmenin önemi üzerinde durulmuş, müzede öğrenme yöntemlerinden nesne temelli öğrenme, aktif öğrenme, örtük öğrenme, disiplinlerarası öğrenme yöntemleri açıklanmıştır. Ortaöğretim eğitim programlarında müzede öğrenmenin potansiyeli araştırılmıştır. Özel İzmir Amerikan Koleji öğrencilerine uygulanmış, sonuçları değerlendirilmiş bir proje üzerinden müze nesneleri ile disiplinlerarası bir çalışma örneklendirilmiştir. Görsel sanatlar ve tarih öğretmenlerinin iş birliği ile yapılandırılmış bu proje ile öğrenciler çeşitli müze nesnelerinden esinlenerek nesneler üretmiştir. Nesnelerin sergilenme sürecinde farklı disiplinler katkı sunmuş, sergi alanında uygulanacak aktiviteler disiplinlerarası iş birliği ile oluşturulmuştur. Ziyaret öncesi ve sonrası yapılan ön ve son değerlendirme soruları metafor ölçeği kullanılarak hazırlanmış, sonuçlar içerik analizine tabi tutulmuş ve bulgulara ulaşılmıştır. Bu çalışma 14-18 yaş grubu öğrencilerinin müzede öğrenme süreçlerine odaklanarak ortaöğretim seviyesinde disiplinlerarası müze çalışmalarının eksikliğini ortaya çıkarması ve model oluşturabilecek bir çalışma örneği sunması bakımından diğer çalışmalardan ayrılmaktadır. Ayrıca ortaöğretim seviyesi öğretmenlerinin disiplinlerarası çalışmalarını müzede nasıl yapılandırabileceklerine ilişkin öneriler sunması ve bu çalışmaların öğrenime nasıl katkı sunacağını metafor ölçeği gibi sıklıkla kullanılmayan bir ölçekle ölçmesi bakımından alana katkı sunmaktadır.
A DEFASAGEM DE ALFABETIZAÇÃO E LETRAMENTO ANOS INICIAIS E FINAIS DO FUNDAMENTAL NO PERÍODO PANDÊMICO

Published: October 2023

Este artigo apresenta como objetivo investigar a defasagem de alfabetização e letramento nos anos iniciais e finais do ensino fundamental durante o período pandêmico. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica, com a análise de artigos científicos, estudos e pesquisas relevantes sobre o tema. O estudo identificou que a defasagem educacional nesse contexto foi influenciada por diferentes fatores. A falta de interação presencial entre estudantes e professores limitou as oportunidades de prática da leitura e escrita, bem como o feedback individualizado. A ausência de recursos tecnológicos adequados também contribuiu para a defasagem, visto que nem todos os alunos tiveram acesso igualitário a dispositivos eletrônicos e à internet. Além disso, as desigualdades socioeconômicas ampliaram as disparidades educacionais, prejudicando o desenvolvimento da alfabetização e letramento em estudantes de comunidades desfavorecidas. Com base nos resultados da revisão de literatura, foram propostas estratégias e intervenções para minimizar a defasagem. Essas abordagens incluem o oferecimento de apoio individualizado aos estudantes afetados, como programas de reforço escolar e aulas de recuperação. Além disso, é fundamental investir em infraestrutura tecnológica, garantindo o acesso equitativo a dispositivos eletrônicos e internet de qualidade. Parcerias com organizações e comunidades locais também podem fornecer suporte adicional aos alunos em situação de defasagem. Assim, este material evidenciou os desafios enfrentados pelos estudantes em relação à defasagem de alfabetização e letramento durante o período pandêmico. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de ações conjuntas por parte das instituições de ensino, educadores e formuladores de políticas, a fim de superar essa defasagem e promover o desenvolvimento adequado dessas habilidades fundamentais. A investigação dessas questões é de extrema importância para a busca de uma educação de qualidade e inclusiva, visando a redução das desigualdades educacionais e a garantia do pleno desenvolvimento dos estudantes.
