ROBOTIC LEGS DESIGN – CONSTRUCTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Authors: ORDONEZ JUAN , ORDONEZ CAMILO
Published: January 2025

In robotic navigation, wheels are highly efficient for engineered surfaces. However, they need to be more efficient when navigating over rough terrains. Evolution has resulted in limbed creatures that are highly adapted to extreme terrains. This paper explores the design of robotic legs for sagittal motion in uneven terrains. The paper builds upon locomotion theories to identify geometrical features of the leg and groups of legs as a function of terrain features. The predictions of the analytical models are compared against observations in the animal kingdom. The study is focused on legs that can be represented with two degrees of freedom, connected via revolute joints. It uses simplified terrain features and reduced-order dynamic models to evaluate the cost of transport associated with the different legs and terrain configurations. Examples of animal and animal-inspired robots to which the model applies include crabs, horses, and some insects. The model is expected to help design more agile robots and be extensible to designing human prostheses and end effectors for robotic manipulators.
EVOLUTIONARY PATTERNS OF LEAVES: PALEOBOTANY AND CONSTRUCTAL LAW
Authors: HEITOR REIS ANTÓNIO
Published: January 2025

Paleobotany has been making the evolution of living structures that gave rise to present-day plants with thin planar leaves increasingly clear. And it tells us a fascinating story with many chapters to write and enigmas to decipher. The evolution of the structures that gave rise to present-day leaves with dense venation is one of those enigmas for which Constructal Law can offer a consistent, scientifically based, and beautiful explanation. 
In this article, we show how it is possible to understand the evolution of the shape and venation of the structures that gave rise to present-day leaves. We aim to promote “easier and easier access” to all the energy and mass currents that allow photosynthesis and subsequent redistribution of products throughout the leaf system within a constraints framework (optimization of solar radiation capture and access to water and nutrients).
EVOLUTION OF MARITIME TECHNOLOGY: ADVANCEMENTS IN SHIP DESIGN
Authors: GUNES Umit
Published: January 2025

The evolution of ships has occurred through significant improvements in their design, materials, propulsion systems, size, navigation, and military capabilities. Ships were first built using simple, flat wooden hulls and were only suited for traveling short distances. Hull designs gained sophistication over time, taking on curved lines and later being built from steel and other composite materials that would improve their durability and efficiency. As for ship propulsion systems, these were initially powered by humans or the wind before evolving to steam engines, diesel engines, gas turbines, and nuclear power, vastly increasing their speed, range, and reliability. Ship size has also drastically improved, with modern supertankers and container ships now capable of transporting enormous loads across oceans. Developments in navigation technology, including the invention of radar, sonar, and GPS, have greatly improved marine safety and positional accuracy. Meanwhile, modern naval vessels now possess advanced defense systems, electronic warfare capabilities, and missile technologies. The drive toward sustainable practices have led to the adoption of green technologies such as hybrid engines and renewable energy and the adoption of more environmentally friendly ships. Ongoing innovations regarding maritime technology are reflected in these advancements and are helping shape the future of global shipping.
Termeni religioși cu arie largă de difuzare în Romania: lat. communicare, *comminicare
Authors:   Institutul de Lingvistică al Academiei Române „Iorgu Iordan - Al. Rosetti”, Teleoacă Dana-Luminița
Published: January 2025

Dans l’article ci-dessus, nous présentons la situation du verbe roumain a (se) cumineca „donner la communion ; recevoir, après la confession du prêtre, l’eucharistie”, considéré en relation avec l’étymon latin communicare/*comminicare, mais aussi avec les langues romanes dans lesquelles celui-ci s’est conservé. Notre discussion relève les similitudes ainsi que les divergences identifiables dans l’aire romane, sur le plan formel et sémantique. Cependant, la partie la plus consistante de l’étude présente est consacrée spécialement au roum. cumineca, pour lequel nous avons suivi des aspects, tels que: la circulation à l’époque de l’ancien roumain, les occurrences dans la littérature ecclésiastique moderne/actuelle ou la valorisation dans le discours parémiologique. Ce sont des aspects le plus souvent traités en étroite relation avec certains synonymes de cumineca, particulièrement a (se) griji et a (se) împărtăși, vu que les destins linguistiques de ces verbes s’entremêlent.
Călinescu și Cantemir sau gâlcevile înțelepților cu lumea
Authors:   Cercetător independent, Paris, Shishmanian Dana
Published: January 2025

We explore here the reasons for the affinity that G. Călinescu repeatedly mani¬fested with the model of ethical-philosophical dialogue practiced by Dimitrie Cantemir, one of his favorite authors in old Romanian literature, in The Divan or the Dispute of the Wise Men with the World or the Judgment of the Soul with the Body (Iași 1698). Among his press articles that explicitly claim to follow this model, we focus on a few texts from the period 1943–1945, included in the anthology Gâlceava înțeleptului cu lumea, made by Geo Şerban (Minerva Publishing House, 1974) and on a text, unknown at the time, which we published in 1979 in the magazine „Manuscriptum” (included now in Opere. Publicistică, vol. XII, 2012). The idea that emerges from our analysis is that G. Călinescu is best found, as a personality, in the portrait of a Renaissance humanist with a stenic soul but an intelligence tempted by melancholy and skepticism; he practices a language always doubled by the vivid irony with which Schlegel characterized the romantic spirit, adopting in the same time the naivety of wonder from which Schiller made the classical ideal of the romanticism in Über naive und sentimentalische Dichtung, a text quoted by Călinescu as „one of the most penetrating essays of European literature, the first typological attempt in the modern sense and at the same time an expression of the romantic point of view and of the Gothic soul”.
Traducerea Odiseei în lectura lui G. Călinescu
Authors:   Institutul de Istorie și Teorie Literară „G. Călinescu”, Ciocârlie Alexandra
Published: January 2025

After comparing in detail Lovinescu’s translation of the Odyssey with that of Murnu, Călinescu concludes that the mentor of the „Sburătorul”, although he wants to offer an independent version of that designed by his rival, only dilutes it by creating a good scholarly translation from which art, verbal invention and personal interpretation are missing. The examination of Lovinescu’s statement of intentions in the preface to the translation of the epic as well as his considerations regarding Murnu’s achievements in the memorial pages or in the History of contemporary Romanian literature allow a reconsideration of this severe verdict pronounced by Călinescu.
Lectura textului digital şi profilul noului cititor
Authors:   Universitatea ,,Ştefan cel Mare” din Suceava, Petroşel Daniela
Published: January 2025

The paper aims to identify the recurring elements ordering current theories of digital reading and to trace the profile of a new reader. The meanings of reading are synonymous here with deep reading, not hyperreading, and by digital texts we mean digital versions of a printed text, not digitally native books. The ideas developed by theorists such as Sven Birkerts, Andrew Piper, Thomas Mc Laughlin, Naomi S. Baron, etc. determine three main cores for defining digital reading: analysis of the digital medium’s features, recovery and emphasis on the physical dimension of the act of reading, and the changes produced in the comprehension of the text. A nostalgic tone is used along with a critical one, and the roles of reading and of the reader are outlined in relation to the broader background of understanding both the changes of knowledge models and the impact of new technologies on society.
Anastasia Gavrilovici’s Poetry in Serbian Language: Poetic and Intertextual Relations
Authors:   Department of Serbian Literature, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad, Marićević Balać Jelena
Published: January 2025

The paper on the poetry of Romanian poet Anastasia Gavrilovici, translated into Serbian by Marija Nenadić, discusses her poetic positioning in relation to Serbian literature and the broader European context. It begins by outlining the fundamental principles of her poetics, based on relevant literature on her poetry in Romanian and English. Then, Anastasia Gavrilovici’s poetry is compared to that of Czech classic Ivan Blatný and Polish Nobel laureate Wisława Szymborska. Finally, the paper concludes that her poetry can also be compared to that of the Serbian poets of her generation (Milica Špadijer, Irena Plaović, Milica Drndarević, Katarina Pantović). The goal of the paper is to offer interpretative possibilities for Gavrilović’s poetry in Serbian and within the frameworks of Serbian literary studies through comparative analysis.
Deviation From the Standard in the Literary Translation of the Novel The Bride of the Mountains by František Švantner According to the Language Model of the Novel The Wretched by Vidosav Stevanović
Authors:   Independent researcher, Valent Belić Zdenka
Published: January 2025

The leading work of Slovak literary naturism, the dominant movement in Slo¬vak literature of the 1930s and 1940s, The Bride of the Mountains (Nevesta hôľ) by Fran¬tišek Švantner, presents a complex, multi-layered, metonymic-metaphorical portrayal of the search for human essence. It represents an effort to understand the world through man’s struggle with himself and the world around him. The characters are strongly connected to nature, which serves as the foundation of the ancient spirit of humanity. They go through a gnoseological hell, recognizing the harmony between the deepest layers of existence and archaic-mythical patterns, as well as ancient and pagan customs. To depict the primal essence of man and to convey hallucinatory-delirious states of consciousness, the author employs a style rich in non-standard expressions, rare, archaic, regionally coloured words, through which he illustrates the colours, tastes, smells, sounds, and all other specific characteristics of the High Tatras and their inhabitants. The literary translation of such a work seems almost impossible without an adequate template in the target language, which would serve as a framework for re-encoding the text. The translation of The Bride of the Mountains requires a virtuoso handling of language, and translating it into Serbian is possible with the help of Vidosav Stevanović’s novel The Wretched (Nišči), as this author has spent many years engag¬ing in linguistic archaeology, trying to reach the layer of language that existed even before Vuk’s reform. He studied old writers, folk songs, ethnographic works, and more. The result is a novel written in the original sounds of Serbian ethnicity, which activates in the reader a deep-seated psychological mentality layer and contributes to the revival of the rejected and discriminated parts of the language and the essence of this culture. Nišči are those who are outside or beneath society, the forgotten, neglected, rejected—the poor in spirit, and it is pre¬cisely about them that both František Švantner and Vidosav Stevanović write. Furthermore, the works The Bride of the Mountains and The Wretched had a similar fate. For a time, they were taboo and caused socio-political discomfort for their authors. Although these works were later accepted by critics and readers, they remained poorly understood for a long time. Precisely because of their formal and gnoseological uniqueness, originality, and similarity, deviation from the language standard is necessary, and translating this work of the Slovak writer with the help of a template in the target language would need to be appropriate and a great aid in preserving the aesthetic functions of the original and achieving significant artistic qualities in the literary translation.
The Effect of Recent Loanwords on Spelling. The Special Functions of Hyphen in Current Orthography
Authors:   Romanian Academy, Pană Dindelegan Gebriela
Published: January 2025

The author analyses the Romanian hyphen, one of orthographic marks that has the highest frequency and the most numerous values. The purpose of this article is to make an inventory of the general values of the Romanian hyphen, starting from the traditional ones and adding the latest ones, most commonly used in recent loan words and constructions. In the end, the author makes two prescriptive proposals, both regarding the use of Romanian hyphen in loan words and constructions, meant to regulate coherently and uniformly the new uses.
On prosodic word of compounds in Romanian
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Răriș Fierbințeanu Carmen
Published: January 2025

The present paper aims to highlight the prosodic word features in Romanian, focusing on its properties, the Prosodic Hierarchy and its components, while examining various perspectives and interpretations. Another part of this paper illustrates the characteristics of the Prosodic Hierarchy, which form the basis for constraints in Optimality Theory. Additionally, the paper provides an overview of compound words in Romanian, presenting their complex status and structure, which pose challenges for prosodic analysis. The prosodic structure of these compounds is further analyzed using a constraint hierarchy.
On the Issue of Optional Classifiers. A Look at Romanian, Russian, and Hungarian
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Tănase-Dogaru Mihaela
Published: January 2025

The paper addresses the issue of sortal ‘unit’ classifiers that optionally combine with count and mass nouns in a structure of the type numeral + classifier + noun in non-classifier languages. The issue of optional unit classifiers remains relatively under-studied even in those languages where they have been identified, such as Russian and Hungarian. No such enterprise has been undertaken with respect to Romanian, and therefore the paper is an attempt at filling the gap in the literature on optional vs. mandatory unit classifiers. After amassing and investigating the data, the paper proposes that optional unit classifiers in Romanian are merged in a single extended projection where the Number Phrase can be syntactically active or inert. When the classifier is silent, the Number Phrase is syntactically active thus enabling the noun to interact with the count system. On the other hand, when the classifier is overt, the Number Phrase is inert and the lexical noun is treated as mass. At the same time, the semantic reflex of merging optional unit classifiers in the structure is the emergence of a ‘plurality of individuals’ reading to the exclusion of a ‘plurality of subkinds’ reading.
Constantin Noica și deschiderile „Criticii facultății de judecare”
Authors:   Universitatea Națională de Arte din București, Breazu Remus
Published: January 2025

In this paper, I analyse Constantin Noica’s interpretation of Immanuel Kant’s „Critique of the Power of Judgment”, as presented in „Two Introductions and a Passage to Idealism”. My aim is to highlight a particular opening of Kant’s aesthetics that Noica identifies but does not develop further in his later philosophy. To this end, the paper is structured as follows: first, I review the current scholarship on Noica’s Two Introductions and a Passage to Idealism. Second, I discuss the method Noica employs in this work and outline the main points of his argument. Finally, I address some ambiguities that appear at the end of his interpretation and briefly discuss the opening in Kant’s aesthetics that Noica notices but does not explore it further in his later philosophy.
Mircea Eliade și prizonierii politicii: Începuturile cazului „felix culpa” (I)
Authors:   Institutul de Istorie și Teorie Literară „G. Călinescu”, Academia Română, Bordaș Liviu
Published: January 2025

The name and work of Mircea Eliade (1907–1986) were banned in Romania following the establishment of the communist regime. Both his writings and his person were subject to ideological criticism, though without being accorded significant attention. (That is, within the context of an article or book; no article was ever dedicated exclusively to him.) The present paper explores, for the first time, his reception in socialist Romania after the lifting of the ban imposed on him.The first part examines the period from September 1967 to July 1970, when a new ban was imposed, and after that until March 1972, when the ban was lifted once more. The English term “captive” translates the Romanian word “prizonier”, which includes among its primary meanings “slave” or “enslaved”. It refers to the members of the two “fronts” – pro and con – involved in the struggle over the acceptability of Mircea Eliade within a communist culture like that of Romania during that era. The main figures at the forefront during this period were Miron Constantinescu (1917–1974), who opposed Eliade, and Adrian Păunescu (1943–2010), who supported him. The second part of the article focuses on other protagonists – both from Romania and abroad – active in the period following March 1972 and leading up to the fall of communism in December 1989.
Convergence and the agent's point of view
Authors: Howard Nathan
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the apparent tension in Michael Smith's The Moral Problem between his commitment to convergence in ideal desires and his acceptance of agentrelative reasons, particularly those grounded in first-personal perspectives like the parent-child relationship. While Smith maintains that ideal desires are agent-invariant and converge on what is universally desirable, he also endorses agent-relative reasons that imply agent-centered normative commitments. I argue that resolving this tension requires rethinking convergence. Specifically, I propose extending the first-personal ("de se") nature of agent-relative reasons to the objects of convergence, which I term "de se aims." By recognizing these aims as value bearers, we can reconcile agentrelativity with the universality of desirability, preserving Smith's broader metaethical commitments. The proposal avoids the pitfalls of agent-relative value theories and illuminates the role of perspective-dependent aims in systematic justification.

In this paper, risk and bureaucracy are discussed in the tax system. It is indicated that bureaucracy decreases tax revenue, and the same result is shown regarding risk. The methodology applied will be based on S.M. (Sensitivity Method), where, through graphical analysis, the comparison between the risk and the bureaucracy will take place. The mathematical background and the theory of the money cycle specify the behavior of these variables. This work aims to show the interaction of these variables. The scope of this paper is to confirm the behavior of the theory Cycle of Money, considering these variables.
The power of the prosecution to modify criminal charges and the implications for the defendant's position
Authors: Briški Lora
Published: January 2025

Evidence presented during a trial may portray a criminal offence differently than how it was described in the indictment. The same set of facts may require a different legal qualification or newly discovered facts may show that the prosecutor's initial description of events should be different. Two potential solutions to this problem exist: the prosecution loses the case or is allowed to modify the charges. In Slovenian criminal procedure, the prosecutor is granted the authority to modify the charge during the trial. This paper focuses on the question of how broad the powers of the Slovenian prosecutor to modify the criminal charge are and how the existence of this power, along with its scope, affects the position of the defence. For that reason, we have examined the decisions of the Slovenian Constitutional Court and ordinary courts. After establishing the extent to which modifications can occur in practice, we highlight potential key points associated with the modification of the charge, as provided for in the current regulation. At the end, we discuss reform options that would improve the defendant's position.
What do the amendments to the law on the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina bring?
Authors: Milinković Igor
Published: January 2025

Judicial independence represents one of the key prerequisites for the rule of law. However, fostering a "culture" of judicial independence must be accompanied by continuous efforts to improve mechanisms and the "culture" of accountability and integrity of judicial office holders. This necessity is particularly emphasized in post-authoritarian societies, where judicial independence rests on the unstable foundations of an authoritarian past characterized by systematic undermining of judicial autonomy. In recent decades, the establishment of judicial councils has been recognized as a tool for strengthening judicial independence. Judicial councils, independent bodies predominantly composed of representatives of the judiciary, "are designed to remove the functions of appointment, promotion decisions, and disciplinary actions against judges from partisan political processes while simultaneously ensuring a certain level of accountability" (Garoupa, Ginsberg, 2009). In recent years, however, warnings have increasingly emerged that the formation of judicial councils can open new channels for the politicization of the judiciary, bringing the issue of accountability of council members into focus. This paper analyzes the provisions of the Law on Amendments to the Law on the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HJPC BiH), adopted in 2023, concerning the disciplinary liability of judges and council members, as well as the procedures for the removal of HJPC BiH members. The paper will also highlight other provisions of this law aimed at combating corruption in the judiciary and strengthening the integrity of judicial office holders.
T. P. N. Against "Spebo medical" healthcare institution: Woman's right to continue with the procedure of biomedically assisted fertilization after the death of her husband
Authors: Rusić Nikola
Published: January 2025

The court competent to decide in the first instance in the case of T. P. N. against the Health Institution SPEBO MEDICAL made a decision that woman has the right to continue the procedure of biomedically assisted fertilization which she started together with her husband, who died during the procedure. In this way, the court indirectly took the position that posthumous fertilization is allowed according to the positive law of the Republic of Serbia. This decision was later confirmed by a second instance decision. In this presentation, we will try to present what the court had in mind when making this decision, what is the impact of this decision on other cases with a similar factual situation, as well as the questions that by the nature of things are opened by accepting the position on the permissibility of posthumous fertilization.

Published: January 2025

The key to future agricultural production is an ecological approach in order to obtain health-safe food. In this regard, the application of effective microorganisms (EM) in all production systems is a new technological measure. The goal of the research is to determine how the application of EM and different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer affect the yield parameters of bread wheat plants and soil microbial parameters in the rhizosphere. The research was carried out in the field in the period 2017-2019 (factor A) in Serbia, by growing the bread wheat variety Ratarica, in two different sowing densities (400 and 500 grains per m 2) (factor B). Factor C, fertilization treatments: F1 control = NPK (15:15:15) 400 kg ha-1 + 150 kg ha-1 UREA (46% N); F2 = F1 + 1 foliar treatment with EM preparation; F3 = NPK + 100 kg ha-1 UREA + 2 foliar treatments; F4 = NPK + 50 kg ha-1 UREA + 3 foliar treatments. The increase in soil microbial parameters was recorded in the F3 treatment (total number of microorganisms by 5.49% and the number of Azotobacter by 9.00%) compared to the control (p<0.01). The yield of grains was the highest in the F2 treatment (by 5.08%) compared to the control. It is concluded that in sustainable bread wheat production systems, with the application of EM, the amount of mineral nitrogen in the feed can be reduced by 25-30 kg ha-1 .
Violence against students: Results of the research conducted at the Faculty of law, University of Kragujevac
Authors: Stanisavljević Jelena
Published: January 2025

Violence against students is a current problem and its consequences negatively affect not only the individual but also the academic community and society as a whole. Psychological, physical, and sexual violence are the most common forms of this type of violence. The subject of this paper is the presentation of the research results on violence against students, which was conducted in 2023 at the Faculty of Law in Kragujevac and whose sample consisted of 303 students of this faculty. The research aimed to obtain information on whether students at the faculty are exposed to violence, and if so, what form it takes and who its perpetrators are. The results were compared with previous studies on this topic and show that violence at the university is represented on a smaller scale than in previous years, but that there is a worrying percentage of cases in which students did not report the violence they experienced to anyone. The paper presents the views of the respondents on whether the faculty responds adequately to violence against students, as well as the reasons why this type of violence is most often not reported.
One hundred years since the draft of the constitutional charter: Legal regulation up to the 10th century and its reflection on the current source of law
Authors: Vasiljević Aleksandar
Published: January 2025

The draft of the Constitutive Charter of Mount Athos (1924) is a legal act that will mark its centenary in 2024. In the research, the author applies a comparativist approach to the legal arrangement of Mount Athos until the 10th century and its effect on the current Statute. The forms of the St. Athos arrangement, based on the Cathedral of the Elders, the Athanasius and Tsimiski typica, managed to survive in fragments despite military occupations, political and other circumstances. The regulation of legal subjectivity over the Athos peninsula is a crucial circumstance and the most important contribution to the creation of the relevant source of law. The author introduces us to a wide range of constitutional and legal solutions prescribed by the Constitutional Charter, as well as to the Decree by which the Greek state officially confirmed and presented the most important legal act of Mount Athos. The author's goal is to use research to encourage the professional public to celebrate the double jubilee in 2026: one hundred years since the adoption and one hundred years of application of the Constitutive Charter.
Contribution of cooperative learning strategies to the improvement of the quality of students' native language knowledge
Authors: Semiz Marina , Antonijević Radovan , Čutović Mirjana
Published: January 2025

A successful application of cooperative learning in mother tongue teaching, from the point of view of improving the quality of students' knowledge, requires great didactic and methodical expertise of teachers in group forming, cooperative task structuring, basic principles of cooperative learning, etc. The theoretical starting point of this paper is represented by the theory of social interdependence, Slavin's integrative model and revised Bloom's taxonomy of knowledge. In this paper, we will present the results of the ex-post-facto research conducted to examine whether and to what extent the application of cooperative learning can improve the quality of factual, conceptual and procedural knowledge of students in their mother tongue. On a systematic sample of students of the fourth grade of primary schools from 14 districts in Serbia (n = 720), two knowledge tests were applied for the initial and final measurement. The results of the research showed that various practices of the application of strategies of cooperative learning in the current teaching of the mother tongue contribute to the adoption and sustainability of students' knowledge, mostly factual, and then conceptual and procedural.
Examining the Impact of Blockchain Technology on Consumer Sentiment and Loyalty
Authors: Su Yue , Teo Poh-Chuin , Khalid Haliyana , Cheng Wang , Zhao Weihao
Published: January 2025

The integration of blockchain technology in the retail industry has been a
growing area of interest, yet traditional research has often overlooked the intricate
relationship between user sentiment and loyalty. This study addresses this gap by exploring the correlation between user acceptance, sentiment experience, and loyalty
within the context of blockchain-supported retail environments. Utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods, sentiment data from retail users was collected and
analysed using the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) for sentiment analysis, while a
modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was employed to assess user acceptance. The model was extended to incorporate user sentiment and loyalty as critical factors. The results indicate a significant positive correlation between user sentiment and loyalty, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.68 to 0.82. These findings suggest that user sentiment, when adequately managed, can enhance user loyalty, thereby providing strategic insights for the retail industry. The study contributes
to the literature by offering a more holistic understanding of user behaviour in the context of emerging technologies, with practical implications for enhancing user experience and guiding retail strategies.
Examining Attributions of Success and Failure According to Golf Coaches' Perceptions in the Istanbul Region: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Yalcin Besiktas Murat , Serdar Terekli Mustafa
Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyse coaches' attributions of success and failure in athletes within the
framework of the Causal Attribution Theory. The Causal Attribution Theory is a framework
that examines how individuals explain events and the effects of these explanations on
motivation, performance, and behaviour. The research adopts a qualitative approach and is
conducted in a phenomenological design. Data were collected through semi-structured
interviews. The study population consists of 272 coaches working in nine golf clubs in Istanbul,
and a sample of 8 coaches was selected using simple random sampling. The interview form
includes four open-ended questions and was refined based on expert opinions. Data were
conceptualized through content analysis, and themes and codes were identified. Findings
indicate that coaches tend to attribute success to internal factors (such as athlete talent, effective
planning, and experience) and failure to external factors (such as opponent performance, luck,
and field conditions). The impact of these attributions on athletes' motivation and performance
is discussed, and the role of Causal Attribution Theory in sports psychology and coaching
practices is highlighted. The study aims to enhance coaches' awareness in performance
evaluation and psychological support processes and contribute to the literature.
Los peces ballesta o pistola (Balistidae): Padres que hacen nidos y protegen a sus crías
Authors: Lugo Manzano María de los Ángeles , Sánchez Cárdenas Rebeca , Zúñiga Flores Marcela Selene , Maldonado Coyac Juan Antonio , Salcido Guevara Luis Antonio , Maldonado Amparo María de los Ángeles , Vélez Arellano Nurenskaya
Published: January 2025

Fishes are highly diverse and over time they have developed interesting reproductive behaviors to help the survival of their offspring and ensure the continuity of the species. Some species, such as fish from the Balistidae family (triggerfish, pistolfish, etc.), exhibit protective behavior, where both parents, the female and male, have their different roles, before, during and after spawning; which include the building and caring of nests where they lay their young. Their protective style is a great example of the dedication and effort that some species have to make to care for their offspring. Balistidae are very important for ecosystems and as food for humans, and knowing them can help their conservation.
El caracol chino negro (Hexaplex nigritus) de la Laguna Navachiste, Guasave, Sinaloa, México
Authors: Montoya Ponce Celeste Osiris , Góngora Gómez Andrés Martín , Bermúdez Torres Kalina , García Ulloa Gómez Manuel
Published: January 2025

Since pre-hispanic times, in Sinaloa, the sea snails have been used as food and source of materials for making domestic, artisanal and religious utensils and accessories. In addition, they have played an important role in promoting human settlements along the coast of the state, where natural banks of this resource are located, as in the San Lucas Islands, Tecobiate, Huitussera, and Guasayeye, among others, located within Laguna Navachiste (RAMSAR site #1826), in the municipality of Guasave. Among the most emblematic species of marine snails, Hexaplex nigritus stands out, known as the “black Chinese”, which represents an important source of income for local fishermen. Due to the ban on fishing for other species -mainly shrimp- the "black chinese" snail has been under intense fishing pressure since the 1990’s. The reduction in the catch volume reported for H. nigritus —in addition to the lack of information aimed to its conservation and protection— indicates that, currently, its ecological, fishing and socioeconomic stability could be threatened in such Sinaloa localities. This report documents biology, fishing modes, production statistics, historical, and cultural importance; and presents preliminary information generated by the research group of the Malacology Laboratory of the National Polytechnic Institute, located in the facilities of the Interdisciplinary Research Center for Regional Integral Development, Sinaloa Unit, Mexico, to contribute to the knowledge, protection, and conservation of the natural bank of H. nigritus of Laguna Navachiste, Sinaloa.
¿Belleza o amenaza? Una mirada al fitoplancton, su bioluminiscencia y los florecimientos algales nocivos
Authors: Cruz Valdés Mitzi Elizabeth , Rodríguez Gómez Carlos Francisco , Torres Ariño Alejandra
Published: January 2025

Phytoplankton is crucial in aquatic ecosystems, serving as the base of the food chain and playing a key role in biogeochemical cycles like carbon and nitrogen. Although its role is vital, environmental and global changes have increased Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), phenomena that can disrupt ecological balance, reduce oxygen, and release toxins, affecting biodiversity, public health, and the economy, especially in fishing and tourist communities. Some species of dinoflagellates, in addition to being part of these HABs, can emit bioluminescence, an impressive phenomenon observed in places like Manialtepec Lagoon in Oaxaca. However, the duality between the positive impact of tourism and ecological threats poses challenges for the conservation and management of these ecosystems. HABs can be triggered by high nutrient availability, and although some are natural, human activities such as agriculture and aquaculture worsen them. Phytoplankton is studied using traditional techniques like nets and bottles to collect samples, along with molecular analyses to identify toxic species and potential biotechnological applications. It is crucial to implement preventive measures and foster cooperation among various stakeholders to mitigate negative impacts and preserve aquatic ecosystems.

The isolated place of law in the cultural dimension of society necessitates the analysis of transformations of various sections of legal culture that occur under the influence of technical and technological factors. The dominance of the latter in a post-industrial society determines the formation of qualitatively new ideas about law and its manifestations, and can also influence the future of law and its nature. The basis of the regulatory action of law is lawmaking, which in the cultural system of society is both its product and a factor of its progress. The culture of lawmaking is currently, like the entire legal sphere, in the orbit of the technological imperative, perceiving the achievements of digitalization and having a reverse effect on the digital trends of legal development. The article defines the impact of digitalization on the development of modern lawmaking culture. The research is based on an interdisciplinary approach, methods of legal forecasting and legal modeling, supplemented by post-non-classical methodology of law, principles of constructivism and anthropocentrism, and a culturological approach to the study of legal reality. The revealed patterns of digital transformations in the modern culture of lawmaking allowed us to draw conclusions about the trends and prospects of its further transformation in the following directions: simplification of the substantive side of lawmaking through the active introduction of digital technologies both in the process of developing a draft normative legal act and in expert activity; embedding digital technologies in the stages and auxiliary procedures of the lawmaking process; symbiosis of legal and digital technologies in the preparation of a draft normative legal act; expansion of the subject composition of lawmaking participants and their acquisition of new skills and digital competencies; increasing the number of stages of the lawmaking process; modernization of forms and results of lawmaking (electronic normative legal act, digital standard of normative legal act, flexible regulators, digital law, machine-readable law); further evolution of lawmaking along the path of connection and convergence of “natural and artificial” (creation of hybrid systems “man-machine” in lawmaking, etc.); progressive movement and possible regressions under the influence of transformation of natural, manmade and social environmental factors.
The Doctrine of Contract Negotiations
Authors: Raynikov Artem
Published: January 2025

In the civilistic doctrine of contract negotiations, undeservedly little attention is paid to the basic concept of this doctrine — the concept of negotiations. The result of this omission is the lack of well-established ideas in legal science about the signs of negotiations and the disparity of positions about when negotiations begin and at what point they end. All this creates obstacles to the effective application of the doctrine of culpa in contrahendo, which received a powerful impetus to development after the reform of civil legislation. The article examines competing approaches to the definition of negotiations, examines the role of the will of the parties as a factor in the negotiation process, as well as the specifics of the influence of pre-contractual contacts on the legal sphere of their participants. Referring to the acts of international unification of private law, analysis of domestic judicial practice makes it possible to identify negotiations as a process of concluding a contract as a whole, including the parties reaching consensus on the terms of the contract, giving the agreement the necessary form and the parties performing actions with which the law associates the conclusion of a real contract. As a result of the analysis, the definition of contract negotiations is formulated.
The Principle of Efficiency and Its Implementation in the Activities of Legislative (Representative) Public Authorities of the Russian Federation Constituents
Authors: Ulyanov Alexander
Published: January 2025

Constitutional legislation and practice in general proceed from the fact that legislative (representative) authorities, by virtue of electability, are accountable only to the people. At the same time, they are active subjects of evaluating the effectiveness of other public institutions within the framework of parliamentary control procedures, which contributes to improving the overall effectiveness of public authority. This circumstance dictates the need for the legal formalization of the principle of efficiency in the legislative power system by consolidating it in the relevant federal and regional legislation. The purpose of the study is to identify possible approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the activities of legislative (representative) public authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The use of general scientific research methods, including analysis and synthesis, the formal legal method, and methods of interpretation of law, made it possible to identify five efficiency criteria related to parliamentary activity: the effectiveness of legislative work; the effectiveness of work with voters; the effectiveness of parliamentary control; the effectiveness of the organization of the work of parliamentary associations; the effectiveness of the work of the legislative body. Proposals have been made to improve the current legislation related to the legal registration and implementation of the principle of efficiency in the system of legislative (representative) power.

Authors: Sánchez Mauricio
Published: January 2025

Aquí se presentan los principales resultados de la memoria de título "(Re)creando trayectorias: Incorporación laboral haitiana en la comuna de Puerto Montt", por tanto, se aborda la situación de la comunidad haitiana en Chile, centrándose en su incorporación sociolaboral en la comuna de Puerto Montt. Se destaca la autopercepción laboral que poseen estos trabajadores, lo que de cierta manera los impulsa a laborar en Chile, pese a estar en desventaja frente a nativos,  el estudio pone de relieve el capital humano que los haitianos traen consigo desde su país, más allá de la validación formal de sus estudios en Chile. Se observa que la validación de la enseñanza media chilena puede relacionarse con regímenes laborales más formales. Del mismo modo se aprecia una tendencia a las relaciones intraétnicas, sobre todo en estadios iniciales de acomodación en la comuna, las cuales aparte de ayudar a sobrellevar la experiencia migratoria al ser subalternizados/estigmatizados, ofrecen un apoyo más familiar. Asimismo, se profundiza en las redes interétnicas y en los beneficios que trae para estos individuos el formar parte de ellas en cuanto a la incorporación sociolaboral.

Authors: Sandovalin Diaz Jennifer Fernanda , Armas Vega Ana del Carmen
Published: January 2025

Objetivo: Resumir la evidencia actual sobre la relación entre los sistemas adhesivos y la sensibilidad dental postoperatoria mediante una revisión sistemática de artículos publicados entre 2017 y 2022.Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en PubMed, ScienceDirect y Google Académico utilizando estrategias PICO con los términos: “Adhesión dental”, “Sensibilidad dentinaria” y “Agentes de adhesión dentinaria”. Los criterios de inclusión consideraron estudios clínicos, metaanálisis y revisiones sistemáticas. Se excluyeron artículos duplicados, en idiomas diferentes al inglés, español y portugués, y sin objetivos claros. Resultados: Se identificó que los sistemas adhesivos de autograbado y de grabado ácido presentan diferencias en cuanto a incidencia de sensibilidad postoperatoria. Factores como la técnica de aplicación, composición de los sistemas adhesivos y preparación del sustrato dentario influyen directamente en los resultados clínicos. Conclusión: Los sistemas adhesivos por sí mismos no tienen una influencia significativa en la sensibilidad postoperatoria. Sin embargo, la adecuada preparación de la cavidad, selección del sistema y control de factores clínicos son esenciales para minimizar este riesgo.
