Comparative Analysis of Spectral Emission Mask Shaping for OFDM
Authors: Kale Swarnita Gorakshnath , Kale Gorakshanth Bhagvatrao
Published: April 2021

In this paper orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is characterized by spectral efficiency. Here we use quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) it is used to improved spectral efficiency. For digital modulations designing new spectrally efficient pulse shapes. When established through an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel the pulses designed for finite period and give zero inter symbol interference. In proposed system spectral emission mask system is implemented to conflict spectral leakage and ultimately avoiding adjacent channel interference. A spectral mask also known as a transmission mask or channel mask. It is a mathematically-defined set of lines applied to the levels of radio transmissions. The spectral mask is generally proposed to reduce adjacent-channel interference by preventive excessive radiation at frequencies at 20MHz bandwidth. The proposed system is implemented over MATLAB platform using script language.

Authors: R Swetha , M Priyanka , S Suvetha , S Kavitha
Published: April 2021

In all digital signal processing (DSP) applications like FFT, digital filters the main problem faced by processor is its propagation delay. Every high speed signal processing is depends on multiplier circuits. Multiplier performance is directly influenced by the adder design. In this paper, we design low power and high speed carry look ahead (CLA) adder for multiplier circuit by using multi value logic (MVL) based on quaternary signed digits (QSD). The ability of multi value logic (MVL) circuits to achieve more information density and high operating speed when compared to that of existing binary circuits is highly impressive. MVL circuits have attracted important attention for the design of digital systems. Based on quaternary signed digits, the carry look ahead adder is designed, implemented in multiplier circuit and simulated by using cadence virtuoso design suite by 180nF technology.

Published: April 2021

Coronavirus is a type of viral infection. There are many different kinds, and some cause disease. A newly identified coronavirus, has caused a worldwide pandemic of respiratory illness, called COVID-19. When the virus reaches the lungs, and it causes inflammation, resulting in fluid accumulation and difficulty of breathing. When fluid enters the air in the lungs where gas exchange occurs, it leads to low blood oxygen levels. This condition is termed pneumonia. There are about four to five tests which are used to identify the presence of coronavirus in humans but among them, there are only two tests which are recommended by WHO as they take less time and a low risk to identify the virus During recent times there is a fast transmission of Covid-19, And in some countries that are unable to purchase laboratory kits for testing. We aimed to present the use of Machine learning for the high-accuracy detection of Covid-19 using chest X-ray and these images are publicly available. A convolutional neural network with minimized layers is capable of detecting Covid-19 in a limited number of chest X-ray images. This model can also detect SARS, MERS and severe pneumonia using chest X-ray images has life-saving importance for both patients and doctors.

Configurações da personagem feminina em maria flor etc, de Arriete Vilela
Authors: Santos Edvaldo Nunes dos
Published: April 2021

O presente trabalho analisa as representações da mulher na literatura, a partir da coletânea Maria Flor etc., da escritora maceioense Arriete Vilela. O livro possui uma série de doze contos, dos quais, quase todos possuem protagonista femininas ou personagens mulheres representadas dentro do enredo, sendo essas, fio condutor das narrativas todas as vezes. Além disso, as temáticas evocadas também são das mais variadas, indo desde violência sexual à condição dos moradores de rua. Por assim ser, como arcabouço teórico para este estudo, recorremos à pesquisadoras com fortuna crítica sobre escrita de autoria feminina e representação, tais como, Nelly Coelho (1991), Lúcia Zolin (2009), Regina Descaltagnè (2007), dentre algumas outras. O levantamento realizado revelou a necessidade de estudos sobre a obra da autora que, apesar de crítica, ainda é pouco visibilizada e, outrossim, desconhecida em sua totalidade. Com o quê, pretendemos que esta proposta enriqueça o arcabouço de pesquisas sobre o projeto literário de Arriete. Assim, podendo contribuir com a fortuna teórica sobre sua escrita, especificamente, como uma possível interpretação das impressões que se mostram na leitura dos seus contos, carregados de uma presença feminina, com imensurável requinte estético e com forte denúncia do social.
China's Political Worldview and Chinese Exceptionalism
Authors: Ho Benjamin
Published: April 2021

China's Political Worldview and Chinese Exceptionalism: International Order and Global Leadership uses the notion of "Chinese exceptionalism" as a framework to analyze China's international politics and foreign policy. This book argues that China's approach to international relations is best understood in the context of these claims to exceptionalism and China's broader political world view. In doing so, it fosters a more comprehensive understanding of China's actions within the realms of foreign policy and international politics, and in the context of the preferred world order, norms and rules that the country seeks to promote.

Pediatri Yoğun Bakımlarda Deliryum Yönetiminde Hemşirenin Sorumlulukları ve Rolleri
Authors: ERCAN İlçim , KIZILER Evrim
Published: April 2021

Deliryum, bilinç durumunda dalgalanmaya neden olan akut başlangıçlı mental bir durumdur. Yoğun bakım ünitelerinde tedavi gören çocuk hastalarda, ortamın gürültülü ve sürekli aydınlık olması, tıbbi cihazların varlığı, sağlık ekibinin tekrarlayan müdahaleleri ve mekanik ventilasyon ihtiyacı gibi nedenlerle görülme sıklığı %80’e kadar çıkmaktadır. Çocuk hastalarda deliryum yüksek mortalite oranlarıyla ilişkili, sık görülen bir sağlık sorunu olmasına rağmen çocuk gelişim düzeylerindeki farklılıklar, bilgi eksikliği, yapılan çalışmaların azlığı ve rutin değerlendirmede aksamalar nedeniyle pediatrik deliryum vakaları sağlık ekibi üyeleri tarafından ya erken dönemde fark edilememekte ya da depresyon gibi farklı bir tanı ile karıştırılabilmektedir. Bu durumda tablo daha da ilerlemekte, çocukların oryantasyonu, düşünce süreçleri, uyku düzenleri bozulmakta, hastanede kalış süresi uzamakta ve hatta hasta kaybedilebilmektedir. Yoğun bakımda tedavi gören çocuk hastalarla tedavi ve bakım gereği sürekli temas ve iletişim halinde olan hemşireler, hastada oluşabilecek ufak bir değişikliğin bile fark edilmesi, pediatrik deliryumun erken dönemde tanılanması ve tedavisinin sağlanmasında kritik rol oynamaktadır. Bu derlemede hemşirelerin pediatri yoğun bakımlarda deliryum yönetimindeki sorumluluk ve rollerinin vurgulanması amaçlanmıştır.
Land–sea temperature contrasts at the Last Interglacial and their impact on the hydrological cycle
Authors: Yeung Nicholas King-Hei , Menviel Laurie , Meissner Katrin J. , Taschetto Andréa S. , Ziehn Tilo , Chamberlain Matthew
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Due to different orbital configurations, high northern latitude summer insolation was higher during the Last Interglacial period (LIG; 129–116 thousand years before present, ka) than during the pre-industrial period (PI), while high southern latitude summer insolation was lower. The climatic response to these changes is studied here with focus on the Southern Hemisphere monsoons, by performing an equilibrium experiment of the LIG at 127 ka with the Australian Earth System Model, ACCESS-ESM1.5, as part of the Paleoclimate Model Intercomparison Project 4 (PMIP4). Simulated mean surface air temperature between 40 and 60∘ N over land during boreal summer is 6.5 ∘C higher at the LIG compared to PI, which leads to a northward shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and a strengthening of the North African and Indian monsoons. Despite 0.4 ∘C cooler conditions in austral summer in the Southern Hemisphere (0–90∘ S), annual mean air temperatures are 1.2 ∘C higher at southern mid-latitudes to high latitudes (40–80∘ S). These differences in temperature are coincident with a large-scale reorganisation of the atmospheric circulation. The ITCZ shifts southward in the Atlantic and Indian sectors during the LIG austral summer compared to PI, leading to increased precipitation over the southern tropical oceans. However, weaker Southern Hemisphere insolation during LIG austral summer induces a significant cooling over land, which in turn weakens the land–sea temperature contrast, leading to an overall reduction (−20 %) in monsoonal precipitation over the Southern Hemisphere's continental regions compared to PI. The intensity and areal extent of the Australian, South American and South African monsoons are consistently reduced in LIG. This is associated with greater pressure and subsidence over land due to a strengthening of the Southern Hemisphere Hadley cell during austral summer.
Co-evolution of xylem water and soil water stable isotopic composition in a northern mixed forest biome
Authors: Snelgrove Jenna R. , Buttle James M. , Kohn Matthew J. , Tetzlaff Dörthe
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Plant–soil water isotopic dynamics in northern forests have been understudied relative to other forest types; nevertheless, such information can provide insight into how such forests may respond to hydroclimatic change. This study examines the co-evolution of xylem water and soil water stable isotopic compositions in a northern mixed forest in Ontario, Canada. Gross precipitation, bulk soil water and xylem water were sampled from pre-leaf out to post-senescence in 2016 for eastern white cedar, eastern hemlock, red oak and eastern white pine. Near-bole soil water contents and mobile soil water isotopic compositions were measured for the last three species. Mobile soil water did not deviate significantly from the local meteoric water line (LMWL). In contrast, near-surface bulk soil water showed significant evaporative enrichment relative to the LMWL from pre-leaf out to peak leaf out under all tree canopies, while xylem water was significantly depleted in 18O and particularly 2H relative to bulk soil water throughout the growing season. Inter-species differences in deviation of xylem water from the LMWL and their temporal changes emerged during the growing season, with coniferous species xylem water becoming isotopically enriched, while that of red oak became more depleted in 2H and 18O. These divergences occurred despite thin soil cover (generally <0.5 m depth to bedrock) which would constrain inter-species differences in tree rooting depths in this landscape. Isotopic fractionation at the tree root and fractionation of xylem water via evaporation through the tree bark are among the most plausible potential explanations for deviations between xylem and soil water isotopic compositions. Differences in the timing and intensity of water use between deciduous and coniferous trees may account for inter-specific variations in xylem water isotopic composition and its temporal evolution during the growing season in this northern forest landscape.
Kinematics and extent of the Piemont–Liguria Basin – implications for subduction processes in the Alps
Authors: Le Breton Eline , Brune Sascha , Ustaszewski Kamil , Zahirovic Sabin , Seton Maria , Müller R. Dietmar
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Assessing the size of a former ocean of which only remnants are found in mountain belts is challenging but crucial to understanding subduction and exhumation processes. Here we present new constraints on the opening and width of the Piemont–Liguria (PL) Ocean, known as the Alpine Tethys together with the Valais Basin. We use a regional tectonic reconstruction of the Western Mediterranean–Alpine area, implemented into a global plate motion model with lithospheric deformation, and 2D thermo-mechanical modeling of the rifting phase to test our kinematic reconstructions for geodynamic consistency. Our model fits well with independent datasets (i.e., ages of syn-rift sediments, rift-related fault activity, and mafic rocks) and shows that, between Europe and northern Adria, the PL Basin opened in four stages: (1) rifting of the proximal continental margin in the Early Jurassic (200–180 Ma), (2) hyper-extension of the distal margin in the Early to Middle Jurassic (180–165 Ma), (3) ocean–continent transition (OCT) formation with mantle exhumation and MORB-type magmatism in the Middle–Late Jurassic (165–154 Ma), and (4) breakup and mature oceanic spreading mostly in the Late Jurassic (154–145 Ma). Spreading was slow to ultra-slow (max. 22 mm yr−1, full rate) and decreased to ∼5 mm yr−1 after 145 Ma while completely ceasing at about 130 Ma due to the motion of Iberia relative to Europe during the opening of the North Atlantic. The final width of the PL mature (“true”) oceanic crust reached a maximum of 250 km along a NW–SE transect between Europe and northwestern Adria. Plate convergence along that same transect has reached 680 km since 84 Ma (420 km between 84–35 Ma, 260 km between 35–0 Ma), which greatly exceeds the width of the ocean. We suggest that at least 63 % of the subducted and accreted material was highly thinned continental lithosphere and most of the Alpine Tethys units exhumed today derived from OCT zones. Our work highlights the significant proportion of distal rifted continental margins involved in subduction and exhumation processes and provides quantitative estimates for future geodynamic modeling and a better understanding of the Alpine Orogeny.

To Teach the University is to Teach Reparations: A Class Project
Authors: Conley John
Published: April 2021

If scholars and activists have long noticed that discussions about reparations re-emerge during periods of intense racial strife, then perhaps it is not surprising that reparations have again become an increasingly mainstream conversation in the US. Significantly, the university has not been insulated from these discussions, but in fact has become an important site of this struggle. As of now, most critical attention both on the page and in the streets has been pointed at private, elite universities in which the fact of the university’s founding during the antebellum US becomes a flash point for the discussions of the legacy of slavery. However, using my own university teaching context as an example, I show that the discussion of reparations in the context of the American University need not – and indeed, as many scholars and activists argue, should not – be limited to those institutions that were funded from slavery’s profits or were literally built with slave labor. By discussing a course project that looks into my own university’s history, I model one strategy for educators to normalize the discussion of reparations as well as expand its reach to encompass more recent and ongoing injuries to African-American communities.
Reality check: How adolescents use TikTok as a digital backchanneling medium to speak back against institutional discourses of school(ing)
Authors: Wright William Terrell
Published: April 2021

This article centers on how TikTok’s adolescent users “speak back” to discourses of school(ing) in the US.  Through a discussion of four viral, school-related trends that have proliferated on TikTok over the past two years, the author calls attention to the ways school(ing), as a largescale, democratic project and socially constructed phenomenon, is being shaped by young people, for young people on a digital platform that backchannels a largely resistant attitude toward the institutional framing of school(ing) upheld by many adult educators today. The hope is that educators might engage these moments of rupture and feelings of dissonance in considerate ways that do not combat or cheapen the experiences of the young people in classrooms but instead open up opportunities for understanding and dialogue.

¿Quién mató a Rosendo? Vanguardia, literatura popular e interlocución obrera
Authors: Ballón Patti Celina Fernanda
Published: April 2021

Nuestro trabajo se propone analizar la investigación ¿Quién mató a Rosendo?, publicada por Rodolfo Walsh en el Semanario CGT. La misma consta de una serie de siete notas publicadas entre mayo y junio de 1968 y una última nota publicada en mayo de 1969, que tienen por tema el asesinato de dos militantes de base antiburocráticos, y de un jerarca de la burocracia sindical, luego de un altercado grupal que terminó en balacera. Nuestro objetivo es indagar cómo impactó la interlocución obrera en la forma en que Walsh dio cuenta de los hechos y en su manera de pensar la literatura. En este sentido, leeremos estas notas en el marco del debate acerca de la legitimidad de formas y modelos literarios que tuvo lugar en América Latina durante la década del ’60. Centraremos nuestro análisis en las distintas conceptualizaciones acerca de la crisis de la novela y en las ideas acerca del testimonio y la literatura popular, tal como Walsh las elaboró a lo largo de las décadas de los 60 y 70
"Poeta, te ha escrito mi pañuelo blanco”, Amado Nervo en la biblioteca de Juan Ramón Jiménez

Con motivo de la conmemoración del fallecimiento de Amado Nervo en 1919, el presente artículo recoge la confluencia poética y personal de dos autores que comparten admiración mutua: Amado Nervo (Tepic, 1867-Montevideo, 1919) y Juan Ramón Jiménez (Huelva, 1881-San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1958). El movimiento modernista y la búsqueda de la poesía pura, así como los avatares personales de ambos escritores, son algunos de los rasgos que desvelan la obra de dos poetas con líneas poéticas comunes
Sergio Pitol, "enfermo" de literatura. Breve estudio sobre la «centralidad» (u obsesión) literaria en los ensayos de la Trilogía de la Memoria
Authors: Rodríguez Alfonso Adriana
Published: April 2021

El presente artículo aborda el carácter central, casi obsesivo, que tiene la literatura para el escritor mexicano Sergio Pitol en los libros de ensayos que integran su denominada Trilogía de la Memoria –El arte de la fuga (1996), El viaje (2000) y el Mago de Viena (2005)–; y el modo en el que esta “sobreabundancia” literaria deforma –por llamarlo de algún modo–, algunas de las categorías que los críticos de Pitol, con mayor o menor suerte, han empleado para definir su obra. Para ello, se han tomado tres de estos conceptos (la Autobiografía, el Viaje y la Memoria) y se ha intentado demostrar cómo ese exceso de literatura, ese empeño de Pitol por “literaturizar” cuanto encuentra a su paso, termina otorgándoles a esas categorías ciertas peculiaridades que las alejan del modo en el usualmente se han comportado en la tradición. Así, la tesis que se sostiene en este trabajo explica en parte la originalidad de la ensayística pitoliana, pues su autor consigue que estas categorías ancestrales parezcan novedosas
Muchos detectives. Sobre "El enigma de París" (2007) de Pablo De Santis
Authors: Maltz Hernán
Published: April 2021

Proponemos una lectura sobre los modos en que el género policial se presenta y representa en la novela El enigma de París (2007) de Pablo De Santis. Para esto, discutimos y ampliamos afirmaciones de otros trabajos críticos. En primer término, sostenemos que la novela consiste en un homenaje al amplio género policial (y no solo a la vertiente anglosajona). Luego nos detenemos en la combinación de esta literatura con el modelo de la novela de formación. También hacemos lo propio con la representación de cambios sociales en la novela y su subordinación al aspecto literario. Finalmente, concluimos con una idea respecto a tres modos diferentes de construcción de lo policial en esta novela, basadas en una suerte de poética del exceso, otra de la sutileza y una última vinculada a una perspectiva de totalización del género

An Investigation Of The Critical Thinking Skills Of Fourth Grade Students On Real Life States
Authors: ÖZBEY Ömer Faruk , SARIKAYA Rabia
Published: April 2021

The aim of this study is to examine the extent to which fourth-grade students transfer and use the critical thinking skills provided by curricula to daily life. The method of the research is an instrumental case study, which is one of the qualitative approaches. Typical case sampling was used in the study and 30 fourth grade students from 11 different schools in Ankara were included in the study. Fake news and semi-structured interview form prepared by the researcher were used as data collection tools. During the implementation phase, the students were shown fake news and asked whether this was true or not. Afterward, interviews were made using the Socratic inquiry method over the comments created by the researcher. The data were independently analyzed by two researchers and the themes were reached. In this study, the consistency between researchers was found to be %87,5. As a result of this study, it was determined that 92% of the expressions of primary school fourth-grade students were in the weak critical thinker category.
The Delcourt House: the last house by Richard Neutra
Authors: Klein Richard
Published: April 2021

The only French building by the architect Richard Neutra (1892-1970), Delcourt house, built in Croix near Roubaix, France, is frequently forgotten in publications on his work, and is generally considered to be of little significance in the largely American career of its designer. At the end of the 1960s, Marcel Delcourt (1923-2016), a young Chief Executive Officer at the head of the mail order company Les Trois Suisses, was attracted to the American way of life. As the final work of Richard Neutra, the Delcourt residence is a fragile heritage, the result of complex and fruitful exchanges between Europe and the United States of America (USA), between architects and the client, but also between the customized design of most of the features and the use of sophisticated techniques, products that the interior finish industry was able to supply at the end of the 1960s. The edifice now stands as a repository of domestic architecture techniques.
Searching Paradise
Authors: Noelle Louise , Torrent Horacio
Published: April 2021

According to Alvar Aalto, raising the quality of life did not lie in technical and economic capabilities but in the creative work of architects, whose “houses are built where people can lead happy lives,” and only reachable “by concentrating on human happiness.” This search for paradise, magnificently expressed by the Finnish architect, has guided countless projects in modern architecture. The house, the place of home, the world and container of the everyday individual and family life has been the privileged set of this implicit exploration, where many paradises can be recognised. It is about achieving adequate protection and getting a space where satisfaction becomes a daily joy for those who live in it: happiness as an attainable goal.

Casa Fullana [Fullana House], built in 1955 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is an exemplary model of Henry Klumb’s (1905-1984) design principles for modern living in the tropics. German architect Henry Klumb conducted a prolific architectural practice in Puerto Rico, producing some of the most iconic examples of tropical modernism in the Caribbean. His work, most notably at the University of Puerto Rico (1946-1966) (UPR) and in landmark projects like the San Martin de Porres Church (1948) in Cataño, constituted a breakthrough in Puerto Rican, Caribbean and Latin American architecture. Anchored in the principles of modern architecture, specifically of an organic architecture put forward by his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), Klumb’s work is deeply rooted in the specificities of the landscape, topography, and climate of Puerto Rico as a tropical island.
Role of Institutions in Sustainable and Socially Equitable Development

Published: April 2021

The objective of this brief communication is to start a conversation about the critical role that institutions play in sustainable development and how each of us as can assist with the development and nurturing of institutions. Our goal is to nurture equitable and sustainable economic and social development. There is so much to be done, especially when change triggers violence and tension among those who feel threatened by progress. Cyrus Institute of Knowledge (CIK) offers positive and constructive alternatives to such horrific and counterproductive responses. CIK is an educational and scientific secular and nonpartisan institute, dedicated to peace, cooperation, harmony, and nonviolence. CIK’s mission and values are shown in the banners put up in this conference. While here I touch upon a few issues, there are interesting papers in the conference which will analyze many issues in-depth.
The Rial-Dollar Exchange Rate and Purchasing Power Parity Theory
Authors: Bahmani-Oskooee Mohsen , Bahmani Sahar
Published: April 2021

Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, Iranian currency has depreciated from 70 rials per dollar to as low as some 36000 rials per dollar. Has this movement followed the path predicted by the well-known Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) theory? In this paper, we show that the answer is in the affirmative and the dominating factor causing the decline is domestic inflation. Following the theory, we predict a rate of almost 47000 rials to the dollar.
Information Technology in the Global Strategy of a Multinational Bank from an Emerging Economy
Authors: Saraswat Satya Prakash
Published: April 2021

Based on a survey and extended interviews with 78 domestic and international managers of a leading bank in India, this paper identifies some problems encountered with the utilization of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) by this enterprise in its global marketing strategy. A comparative analysis of the survey responses reveals recognizable differences among managers within and outside India concerning the problems and prospects of ICT as an instrument of global business strategy. Twenty problems that can diminish the influence of ICT in this strategy are identified and classified into four categories: Infrastructure, Regulation and Restrictions, Training and Culture, and Financial Constraints. The study finds that ICT has assisted the bank in maintaining its global competitiveness but the international managers of the bank do not agree that it has generated any competitive advantage. Using a qualitative methodological approach, this paper systematically explores the problems and prospects of ICT as an important supporting factor in the global strategy of a multinational bank from India.
A Study of Completely Inverse Paramedial AG-Groupoids
Authors: Rashad Muhammad , Ahmad Imtiaz , Karaaslan Faruk
Published: April 2021

A magma S that meets the identity, xy·z = zy·x, ∀x, y, z ∈ S
is called an AG-groupoid. An AG-groupoid S gratifying the paramedial
law: uv · wx = xv · wu, ∀ u, v, w, x ∈ S is called a paramedial AGgroupoid. Every AG-grouoid with a left identity is paramedial. We extend
the concept of inverse AG-groupoid [4, 7] to paramedial AG-groupoid and
investigate various of its properties. We prove that inverses of elements in
an inverse paramedial AG-groupoid are unique. Further, we initiate and
investigate the notions of congruences, partial order and compatible partial
orders for inverse paramedial AG-groupoid and strengthen this idea further to a completely inverse paramedial AG-groupoid. Furthermore, we
introduce and characterize some congruences on completely inverse paramedial AG-groupoids and introduce and characterize the concept of separative and completely separative ordered, normal sub-groupoid, pseudo
normal congruence pair, and normal congruence pair for the class of completely inverse paramedial AG-groupoids. We also provide a variety of
examples and counterexamples for justification of the produced results.
Peristaltic Movement of a Dusty Fluid in a Curved Configuration with Mass Transfer
Authors: A Khan Ambreen
Published: April 2021

This paper discusses the impact of mass transfer on the peristaltic
flow of a dusty fluid in a curved configuration with elastic properties
of the walls. A perturbation solution is being obtained which resolves the
governing equations in which wave number is taken small. The expressions
for concentration and stream function of fluid and particle phases
are being obtained. The salient features of trapping phenomena are being
discussed explicitly. It has been shown that the size of bolus expands by
increasing curvature effects. The trapped bolus expands for fluid particles
as ± increases and has opposite effect for dust particles.
Introducción. Economía conductista y derecho penal: nudges, disuasión e interdisciplinariedad
Authors: Esposito Fabrizio
Published: April 2021

Esta introducción tiene dos objetivos. Primero, brinda una breve descripción de los principales temas tratados por las diversas contribucio-nes. En segundo lugar, coloca las contribuciones en un contexto más amplio. Para este fin, se formulan algunas consideraciones sobre los orígenes de la investigación conductista y su relación con la economía en general y el análisis económico del derecho. Se presta especial atención al concepto de nudge. Luego, se ubica la descripción que Harel y Teichman hacen del análisis económico-conductista del derecho penal en el contexto de la literatura sobre el tema y se señala que Harel y Teichman tienen una descripción muy limitada del campo. La introducción concluye con un llamado metodológico a favor del “minimalismo interdisciplinario”, una metodología que ha sido probablemente determinante para el desarrollo de la economía conductista. El minimalis- mo interdisciplinario puede ayudar a que el análisis económico-conductista del derecho penal prospere y convoque a académicos de diferentes campos para que unan sus fuerzas y reflexionen sobre la división del trabajo que puede mejorar nuestra comprensión del derecho penal y su política criminal.
Análisis conductista del derecho penal y su aplicación: una amistosa revisión crítica
Authors: Harel Alon , Teichman Doron
Published: April 2021

El Análisis económico-conductista del derecho examina las relaciones entre el derecho y las ciencias del comportamiento. Acepta la premisa de que el comportamiento humano puede predecirse; sin embargo, reemplaza los supuestos tradicionales de la teoría de la elección racional con predicciones alternativas, basadas en fenómenos de comportamiento bien documentados. En el contexto del derecho penal, el Análisis económico-conductista del derecho sostiene que el sistema jurídico debe utilizar los hallazgos de las ciencias del comportamiento para inducir a los individuos a actuar de manera socialmente deseable. Los autores examinan algunas objeciones a esta visión desde una perspectiva tanto pragmática como de principios. Por ejemplo, exploran la cuestión relativa a que el Análisis económico-conductista del derecho trata a las personas, no como agentes, sino como simples animales para ser domesticados; ello está en tensión con las premisas básicas del derecho penal. También plantean algunas inquietudes metodológicas. Por ejemplo, las predicciones conductistas a menudo son indeterminadas y dependen del contexto. De todos modos, los autores sostienen que a pesar de estas limitaciones, el Análisis económico-conductista del derecho debe utilizarse en el contexto del derecho penal y proporcionan ejemplos particulares de cómo podría contribuir a la efectividad de las normas penales.
La aplicación del análisis económico-conductista del derecho a las políticas criminales y sus desafíos
Authors: Richter Anna
Published: April 2021

Este comentario se centra en dos enfoques del análisis económico-conductista del derecho, el enfoque de la toma de decisiones y el enfoque intuicionista, así como en los problemas que surgen al emplear el análisis económico-conductista del derecho para la evaluación de leyes penales existentes o el diseño de políticas criminales futuras. Mientras el artículo central resalta los problemas empíricos a los que el análisis econó- mico-conductista del derecho se ve confrontado en la aplicación a ordenamientos jurídicos penales, voy a argumentar que también existen desafíos normativos a tener en cuenta. Éstos giran alrededor de la pregunta de si los legisladores y responsables para la política criminal están restringidos por ciertos límites al interferir en el proceso de toma de decisión de potenciales delincuentes. Respecto del enfoque intuicionista surge la pregunta de si la moral social detectada a través del enfoque intuicionista ha de ser tenida en cuenta más allá de sus efectos disuasorios.
Comentarios sobre Harel y Teichman
Authors: Malecka Magdalena
Published: April 2021

Este texto es un comentario sobre el llamado de Harel y Teich- man para una mayor “base empírica” del análisis económico-conductista del derecho. Aquí intento demostrar que el carácter normativo del derecho plantea un desafío serio, pero no discutido en el documento, para los estudios conductista y experimental del derecho. Discuto brevemente los puntos principales planteados por los autores y luego caracterizar de manera concisa el enfoque conductista de la ley que complementa su análisis. Después, discuto, sobre la base de dos trabajos experimentales tomados de otras ramas del derecho, los obstáculos para los estudios empíricos y experimentales del análisis económico-conductista del derecho. Concluyo con el breve comentario en la última sección del documento que se refiere a la posibilidad de sacar conclusiones normativas de las encuestas sobre las opiniones morales de las personas sobre el castigo.
Interpretación evolutiva y flexibilidad. Un análisis crítico de la Sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional Español sobre matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo
Authors: Ramírez Ludeña Lorena
Published: April 2021

En este trabajo presento los principales argumentos que aparecen en la Sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional Español 198/2012, sobre matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo, tanto por lo que respecta a la posición del Grupo Popular como a la decisión adoptada por el Tribunal Constitucional y a los votos particulares. Ello me servirá para analizar dos cuestiones interesantes en términos filosóficos. Por un lado, reflexionaré sobre el uso de la interpretación evolutiva como técnica interpretativa. Por otro lado, analizaré si el término “matrimonio” es flexible, sirviéndome de una distinción importante para el análisis del modo en que empleamos los términos generales, como es la distinción entre flexibilidad y tolerancia. Poner en conexión interpretación evolutiva y flexibilidad me servirá para mostrar que la argumentación del Tribunal Constitucional es menos criticable de lo que, en principio, podría pensarse.

Razones políticas
Authors: Biset Emmanuel
Published: April 2021

En el presente artículo realizo una lectura del libro Razones pú- blicas de Andrés Rosler. El objetivo del texto es presentar algunas preguntas metodológicas en torno a la definición de teoría política que aparece allí. Para ello, en primer lugar, indago sobre el modo de trabajar sobre la historia en relación a lo no-histórico y al juicio. En segundo lugar, me pregunto por el modo de definir el republicanismo y su carácter contingente. Por último, me pregunto por la relación entre una teoría política republicana como la propuesta y el presente político. Me interesa, ante todo, que el texto sirva para abrir el debate sobre modos de definir y trabajar en teoría política.
