Authors: Alamusa  , Su Yuhang , Zhou Quanlai , Liu Zhiyu , Wang Yongcui , Zheng Xiao
Published: January 2024

Vegetation on dunes regulates the water supply from the dunes to the inter-dune lowland, which is a crucial factor affecting lake water dynamics in the inter-dune lowland. Previous researchers have paid insufficient attention to the water regulation function of dunes on a landscape- and regional scale. To fill this gap, both remote sensing technology and field observations were used to analyze the variations in the lake area and their influence factors, such as vegetation coverage and precipitation in the lake watershed, on a multi-year scale (2000–2020) and one-year scale (2021), respectively. The results showed that precipitation is the main factor influencing the changes in lake water, and artificial sand vegetation can regulate the changes in lake water. On the multi-year scale, with the coverage of artificial sand-fixing vegetation increasing on sand dunes in the lake watershed, the areas of the lakes were gradually decreasing. On the one-year scale, with dune vegetation coverage increased, the water supply from dunes to lakes showed a decreasing trend. This model can provide a possibility for estimating and predicting the influence of water supply from dunes to lakes that is affected by sand-fixing vegetation. The findings have significant theoretical and practical utility for the rational utilization of water resources in sandy land, as well as for assisting in the selection of an optimized construction mode for desert control projects.
Aquilaria sinensis: An Upstart Resource for Cucurbitacin Production Offers Insights into the Origin of Plant Bitter (Bi) Gene Clusters
Authors: Ding Xupo , Yang Zhuo , Wang Hao , Zeng Jun , Dai Haofu , Mei Wenli
Published: January 2024

Cucurbitacins, oxygenated tetracyclic triterpenoids that are found mainly in the Cucurbitaceae family, play essential roles as defensive compounds, serving as allomones against herbivores and pathogens and as signals for insect–parasite recognition. These compounds also exhibit various pharmacological effects. The biosynthesis of cucurbitacins is largely regulated by the bitter (Bi) gene, encoding an oxidosqualene cyclase, which catalyzes the conversion of 2,3-oxidosqualene into cucurbitadienol, a common precursor for cucurbitacin synthesis. Previous studies focused on uncovering the Bi gene clusters in Cucurbitaceae, but their presence in other cucurbitacin-producing plants remained unexplored. Here, the evolutionary history of Bi genes and their clusters were investigated in twenty-one plant genomes spanning three families based on chemotaxonomy. Nineteen Bi genes were identified in fourteen Cucurbitaceae, four Begoniaceae, and one Aquilaria species. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the genome of Aquilaria sinensis contained the earliest Bi gene clusters in this dataset. Moreover, the genomic analysis revealed a conserved microsynteny of pivotal genes for cucurbitacin biosynthesis in Cucurbitaceae, while interspersed Bi gene clusters were observed in Begoniaceae, indicating rearrangements during plant Bi gene cluster formation. The bitter gene in A. sinensis was found to promote cucurbitadienol biosynthesis in the leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana. This comprehensive exploration of plant Bi genes and their clusters provides valuable insights into the genetic and evolutionary underpinnings of cucurbitacin biosynthesis. These findings offer prospects for a deeper understanding of cucurbitacin production and potential genetic resources for their enhancement in various plants.

Published: January 2024

Physiological and molecular marker-based changes were studied in the tissues of two-year-old Pyrus pyraster (L.) Burgsd. seedlings under salt treatment. For 60 days, 5 mL of 100 mM NaCl solution was applied to each plant per day to a cumulative volume of 300 mL in the substrate. In response to osmotic stress, the seedlings increased their water use efficiency (WUE) on day 20 of regular NaCl application and maintained a stable net photosynthetic rate (An) per unit area. Under conditions of increasing salinity, the young plants maintained a balanced water regime of the leaf tissues (Ψwl). The seedlings invested mass to their root growth (R/S), retained a substantial portion (72%) of Na+ ions in the roots, and protected their leaves against intoxication and damage. A significant decrease in the leaf gas exchange parameters (gs, E, An) was manifested on day 60 of the experiment when the cumulative NaCl intake was 300 mL per plant. The variability in the reactions of the seedlings to salinity is related to the use of open-pollinated progeny (54 genotypes) in the experiment. Lus-miR168 showed tissue- and genotype-specific genome responses to the applied stress. Polymorphic miRNA-based loci were mostly detected in the root samples on the 20th and 35th days of the experiment. The cumulative effect of the salt treatment was reflected in the predominance of polymorphic loci in the leaves. We can confirm that miRNA-based markers represent a sensitive detection tool for plant stress response on an individual level. The screening and selection of the optimal type of miRNA for this type of research is crucial. The cytochrome P450-Based Analog (PBA) techniques were unable to detect polymorphism among the control and treated seedlings, except for the primer pair CYP2BF+R, where, in the roots of the stressed plant, insertions in the amplicons were obtained. The expression ratios of cytochrome P450 in the salt-stressed plants were higher in the roots in the case of 20/100 mL and in the leaves with higher doses. The observed physiological and molecular responses to salinity reflect the potential of P. pyraster seedlings in adaptation to osmotic and ionic stress.

Published: January 2024

In nuclear power systems, centrifugal pumps often need to operate under extreme conditions. However, accurately determining the cavitation status of centrifugal pumps under such extreme conditions is challenging. To improve the recognition accuracy of the three statuses of non-cavitation, incipient cavitation, and severe cavitation while improving the anti-interference capability of the monitoring system, this study extracted cavitation features from centrifugal pumps’ motor current and vibration signals under three different operational conditions. It fused the features using feature-level multi-source information fusion (MSIF) based on the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) or support vector machine (SVM) to construct a cavitation status recognition model and analyzed the results to compare with those of recognition without information fusion. The results show that, compared with one signal source, MSIF can significantly improve the recognition accuracy of cavitation statuses. Combined current and pump casing axial monitoring based on the BPNN is the optimal scheme, with an overall recognition accuracy of 97.3% for all operational conditions, compared to 73.9% for the single current signal and 89.3% for the single casing axial vibration signal. These research results can guide the monitoring of cavitation statuses in practical engineering, as well as timely intervention at incipient cavitations to reduce structural damage to centrifugal pumps and prolong service life.

Authors: Dowling Paul , Trollet Capucine , Negroni Elisa , Swandulla Dieter , Ohlendieck Kay
Published: January 2024

This perspective article is concerned with the question of how proteomics, which is a core technique of systems biology that is deeply embedded in the multi-omics field of modern bioresearch, can help us better understand the molecular pathogenesis of complex diseases. As an illustrative example of a monogenetic disorder that primarily affects the neuromuscular system but is characterized by a plethora of multi-system pathophysiological alterations, the muscle-wasting disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy was examined. Recent achievements in the field of dystrophinopathy research are described with special reference to the proteome-wide complexity of neuromuscular changes and body-wide alterations/adaptations. Based on a description of the current applications of top-down versus bottom-up proteomic approaches and their technical challenges, future systems biological approaches are outlined. The envisaged holistic and integromic bioanalysis would encompass the integration of diverse omics-type studies including inter- and intra-proteomics as the core disciplines for systematic protein evaluations, with sophisticated biomolecular analyses, including physiology, molecular biology, biochemistry and histochemistry. Integrated proteomic findings promise to be instrumental in improving our detailed knowledge of pathogenic mechanisms and multi-system dysfunction, widening the available biomarker signature of dystrophinopathy for improved diagnostic/prognostic procedures, and advancing the identification of novel therapeutic targets to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
From Rational Inquiry to Sacred Insight: The Role of Religion in Augustine’s Views on Liberal Education
Authors: Lee Jeong-In , Ko Jangwan
Published: January 2024

This paper examines the role of religion in liberal education based on the Christian thinker St. Augustine. In his early work, On Order, Augustine posited that through rational inquiry, as epitomized by rational knowledge learned by the trivium and the quadrivium, one can understand the order of the world and eventually obtain divine truth. However, in On True Religion, he withdraws from this position and instead emphasizes that rational knowledge has three limitations: First, regarding the foundation of knowledge, rational knowledge can inform about what things are, but it fails to explain why things exist in the manner they do. Second, concerning the purpose of knowledge, rational knowledge can elucidate the attributes of things, but it falls short in providing the ultimate goals to which these things aspire. Third, concerning the acquisition of knowledge, rational knowledge seeks extroverted knowledge, i.e., knowledge that is oriented toward external objects without introspecting on the inner self. In light of Augustine’s emphasis on the limitations of rational knowledge, the current study provides two possible interpretations of the relationship between liberal education and religion. One is an active interpretation which posits that, by resolving its limitations, religion can fully replace liberal education. The other is a passive interpretation, which suggests that religion can illuminate the boundaries of liberal education and refresh them, thereby enabling the learner to deeply reflect on knowledge and connect it with their inner self.

Published: January 2024

This research is dedicated to developing an automatic landing system for shipborne unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on wireless precise positioning technology. The application scenario is practical for specific challenging and complex environmental conditions, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) being disabled during wartime. The primary objective is to establish a precise and real-time dynamic wireless positioning system, ensuring that the UAV can autonomously land on the shipborne platform without relying on GPS. This work addresses several key aspects, including the implementation of an ultra-wideband (UWB) circuit module with a specific antenna design and RF front-end chip to enhance wireless signal reception. These modules play a crucial role in achieving accurate positioning, mitigating the limitations caused by GPS inaccuracy, thereby enhancing the overall performance and reception range of the system. Additionally, the study develops a wireless positioning algorithm to validate the effectiveness of automatic landing on the shipborne platform. The platform’s wave vibration is considered to provide a realistic landing system for shipborne UAVs. The UWB modules are practically installed on the shipborne platform, and the UAV and the autonomous three-body vessel are tested simultaneously in the outdoor open water space to verify the functionality, precision, and adaptability of the proposed UAV landing system. Results demonstrate that the UAV can autonomously fly from 200 m, approach, and automatically land on the moving shipborne platform without relying on GPS.
Wearable Sensor to Monitor Quality of Upper Limb Task Practice for Stroke Survivors at Home
Authors: Seo Na Jin , Coupland Kristen , Finetto Christian , Scronce Gabrielle
Published: January 2024

Many stroke survivors experience persistent upper extremity impairment that limits performance in activities of daily living. Upper limb recovery requires high repetitions of task-specific practice. Stroke survivors are often prescribed task practices at home to supplement rehabilitation therapy. A poor quality of task practices, such as the use of compensatory movement patterns, results in maladaptive neuroplasticity and suboptimal motor recovery. There currently lacks a tool for the remote monitoring of movement quality of stroke survivors’ task practices at home. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of classifying movement quality at home using a wearable IMU. Nineteen stroke survivors wore an IMU sensor on the paretic wrist and performed four functional upper limb tasks in the lab and later at home while videorecording themselves. The lab data served as reference data to classify home movement quality using dynamic time warping. Incorrect and correct movement quality was labeled by a therapist. The home task practice movement quality was classified with an accuracy of 92% and F1 score of 0.95 for all tasks combined. Movement types contributing to misclassification were further investigated. The results support the feasibility of a home movement quality monitoring system to assist with upper limb rehabilitation post stroke.
Path Following for Autonomous Mobile Robots with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Cao Yu , Ni Kan , Kawaguchi Takahiro , Hashimoto Seiji
Published: January 2024

Autonomous mobile robots have become integral to daily life, providing crucial services across diverse domains. This paper focuses on path following, a fundamental technology and critical element in achieving autonomous mobility. Existing methods predominantly address tracking through steering control, neglecting velocity control or relying on path-specific reference velocities, thereby constraining their generality. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that integrates the conventional pure pursuit algorithm with deep reinforcement learning for a nonholonomic mobile robot. Our methodology employs pure pursuit for steering control and utilizes the soft actor-critic algorithm to train a velocity control strategy within randomly generated path environments. Through simulation and experimental validation, our approach exhibits notable advancements in path convergence and adaptive velocity adjustments to accommodate paths with varying curvatures. Furthermore, this method holds the potential for broader applicability to vehicles adhering to nonholonomic constraints beyond the specific model examined in this paper. In summary, our study contributes to the progression of autonomous mobility by harmonizing conventional algorithms with cutting-edge deep reinforcement learning techniques, enhancing the robustness of path following.
The Electrical and Mechanical Characteristics of Conductive PVA/PEDOT:PSS Hydrogel Foams for Soft Strain Sensors

Published: January 2024

Conductive hydrogels are of interest for highly flexible sensor elements. We compare conductive hydrogels and hydrogel foams in view of strain-sensing applications. Polyvinyl alcool (PVA) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT:PSS) are used for the formulation of conductive hydrogels. For hydrogel foaming, we have investigated the influence of dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBSA) as foaming agent, as well as the influence of air incorporation at various mixing speeds. We showed that DBSA acting as a surfactant, already at a concentration of 1.12wt%, efficiently stabilizes air bubbles, allowing for the formulation of conductive PVA and PVA/PEDOT:PSS hydrogel foams with low density (<400 kg/m3) and high water uptake capacity (swelling ratio > 1500%). The resulting Young moduli depend on the air-bubble incorporation from mixing, and are affected by freeze-drying/rehydration. Using dielectric broadband spectroscopy under mechanical load, we demonstrate that PVA/PEDOT:PSS hydrogel foams exhibit a significant decrease in conductivity under mechanical compression, compared to dense hydrogels. The frequency-dependent conductivity of the hydrogels exhibits two plateaus, one in the low frequency range, and one in the high frequency range. We find that the conductivity of the PVA/PEDOT:PSS hydrogels decreases linearly as a function of pressure in each of the frequency regions, which makes the hydrogel foams highly interesting in view of compressive strain-sensing applications.

Published: January 2024

The design, development, and release kinetics of omeprazole (OME) from solid dosage forms have been investigated. These formulations were examined for their resilience in pH = 4.5 buffer solutions and their rate of disintegration in a small-intestine-like environment (pH = 6.8). The results were compared with those of the well-known brand product Losec®, where its use is accompanied by numerous benefits but drawbacks as well. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests were conducted in order to examine the release kinetics of the various dosage forms and provide explanations based on the interactions between the excipients and the active substance.
A Study on the High-Quality Development Path and Implementation Countermeasures of China’s Construction Industry toward the Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutralization Goals
Authors: Li Yan , Ma Gaizhi
Published: January 2024

Proving the quality and efficiency of energy conservation and emission reduction in the construction industry and providing high-quality products and services are important forces in achieving the goal of ‘double carbon’. They play a crucial role in the sustainable development of human society and nature and are the typical embodiment of the high-quality development of Chinese modernization. This paper analyzes the proportion and importance of China’s construction industry policy system, spatial characteristics, energy consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions in achieving the ‘double carbon’ goal. The life cycle assessment (LCIA) method identifies that the materialization, operation, and use stages are the key stages of the whole process and the influencing factors of energy consumption and carbon emissions. Using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, this paper explores and creates China’s construction industry’s ‘1 + 5 + N’ high-quality development index system by proposing four stages: top-level design period, deep development period, consolidation achievement period, and summary planning period. These stages aim to facilitate quality improvement, efficiency enhancement, innovation drive, and whole life cycle sustainability. This system’s principles are ‘systematic planning, one type of one policy, collaborative efforts, safety, and economy’. The proposed system aims to enhance the policy and standard system, strengthen the implementation of policy tools, increase the investment and application of energy-saving and efficiency-increasing technologies, improve the development of energy consumption and carbon emission monitoring systems and platforms, reinforce green finance, standardize information disclosure, accelerate the renovation of outdated infrastructure, and intensify efforts to promote and guide green consumption, lifestyles, and production methods.

Published: January 2024

We present a detailed analysis of a partial eruption of a sigmoid filament lying along the polarity inversion line (PIL) of the small active region (AR) NOAA 12734 (with an area of 1.44 ×103 square megameters). The active filament was rooted in a dipole sunspot of the AR. The eruption was associated with a C1.3 flare and subsequent large-scale coronal disturbances. During its solar disk passage before the flare, the AR had the following characteristics: (1) Most of the time, the magnetic field lines in the AR showed a sigmoidal structure (‘L1’) in the low corona and arc-shaped loops (i.e., ‘L2’) in the upper atmosphere. (2) An ‘X’-shaped structure was formed between the original ‘S’-shaped magnetic loop (‘L1’) and the newly rising one (‘L3’) between the main positive and negative magnetic polarities of the sunspots, and the intersection point of flux ropes ‘L1’ and ‘L3’ corresponds well with the area where the initial extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) 1600 Å brightening of the flare occurred. (3) The AR disobeyed the hemispherical helicity rule and had magnetic twist and writhe of the same signs, i.e., its magnetic helicity/current helicity were positive in the northern hemisphere. (4) Sustained magnetic emergence and cancellation occurred before the flare. Therefore, the magnetic reconnection of highly twisted helical flux ropes under the confinement of the overlying magnetic fields is probably responsible for the partial eruption of the filament.
Perbandingan Pemilihan Kepala Daerah Di Indonesia (Era Orde Baru, Pasca Orde Baru, Dan Mahkamah Konstitusi Tentang Pemilihan Kepala Daerah)

Published: January 2024

Pilkada merupakan wujud dari perwujudan demokrasi di tingkat lokal dan amanah konstitusi aliena ketiga pembukaan, Pasal 1 ayat (2), dan Pasal 18 ayat (4) UUD 1945. Dalam pelaksanaannya diatur oleh beberapa ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan tentang Pemerintahan Daerah dan beberapa putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan pemilihan kepala daerah di Indonesia dengan beberapa rumusan masalah penelitian. Pertama tentang bagaimana pemilihan kepala daerah di Indonesia berdasarkan Undang-Undang tentang Pemerintahan Daerah dan Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi. Kedua terkait apakah pemilihan tersebut sudah mencapai taraf demokratis di tingkat lokal. Sehingga penelitian ini menghasilkan kesimpulan bahwa Pemilihan kepala daerah dengan sistem seperti pada Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1974 menjauhkan demokrasi di tingkat lokal, karena gubernur, bupati, maupun walikota yang diangkat bukanlah representasi dan aspirasi rakyat. Pemilihan kepala daerah secara langsung dan paradigma baru berupa pencalonan perorangan dan calon tunggal memberikan dampak positif pada demokratisasi di tingkat lokal, dan peraturan Pilkada semakin mendorong upaya pengembangan nilai-nilai demokrasi. Namun, tetap masih banyak dampak buruk yang apabila tidak segera diperbaiki terancam akan menggagalkan upaya demokratisasi di tingkat lokal.

Published: January 2024

The study critically examines the pivotal role of Tan Malaka in Indonesian political thought and nationalism from 1921 to 1949. Investigating Tan Malaka's background and ideological evolution, the research addresses key questions: What influenced Tan Malaka's political trajectory during 1921-1949, and how did he conceptualize Indonesian nationalism? Employing historical methods, the study meticulously traces Tan Malaka's political journey, beginning with his foray into politics in 1921, association with the PKI, founding of PARI in 1927, and the articulation of the one hundred percent independence concept in 1946. Additionally, it explores the establishment of the Murba Party in 1948, which reflected Tan Malaka's unwavering commitment to resisting colonial diplomacy. The study concludes in 1949 with Tan Malaka's demise, influenced by his call for armed resistance and refusal to negotiate. Despite governmental disapproval and rumors surrounding the Murba Republic, Tan Malaka's legacy endured, evoking widespread sympathy. His profound impact on Indonesian political thought and the nationalist movement persists as a testament to his unwavering dedication to the cause of independence.

Trong bối cảnh của cuộc cách mạng số hóa, việc phát triển các kỹ thuật giảm bậc mô hình cho mạch điện, điện tử là vấn đề cấp thiết. Trong bài báo này, chúng tôi giới thiệu một thuật toán mới gọi là Stochastic Positive-Real Balanced Truncation (SPBT) dựa trên sự kết hợp của hai kỹ thuật Cắt ngắn cân bằng thực dương (PRR) và Cắt ngắn cân bằng ngẫu nhiên (SBR) để giảm bậc mô hình. Từ kết quả thử nghiệm và so sánh SPBT với các phương pháp PRR và SBR trên mô hình mạch điện tử, cho thấy SPBT không chỉ bảo toàn tính ổn định, sự thụ động và cực tiểu pha của hệ gốc mà còn mang lại hiệu suất và độ chính xác cao hơn so với PRR và SBR. Với sai số nhỏ, sự trùng khớp về đáp ứng giữa hệ giảm bậc và hệ gốc khi áp dụng SPBT trong miền thời gian và miền tần số, phương pháp này hứa hẹn là một công cụ hiệu quả trong việc giảm độ phức tạp mà vẫn duy trì tính chất vật lý quan trọng của hệ thống.

Thách thức cơ bản trong chẩn đoán và điều trị vô sinh đó là việc thực hiện phân tích, đánh giá, phân loại nhanh chóng và chính xác chất lượng tinh trùng. Có nhiều phương pháp đánh giá mức độ đứt gãy ADN tinh trùng. Phương pháp phổ biến nhất hiện nay là khảo sát mức độ phân tán chất nhiễm sắc của tinh trùng (SCD) do Fernandez và cộng sự xây dựng. Đây là phương pháp đơn giản, dễ thực hiện với chi phí phù hợp, có thể đánh giá trên kính hiển vi thông thường nên dễ dàng phổ biến tại các cơ sở lâm sàng. Tuy nhiên, việc phân loại tinh trùng trên ảnh halo vẫn gặp khó khăn do sự đa dạng của hình dạng và kích thước của tinh trùng. Do đó, cần có các phương pháp mới để chuẩn hóa, tự động hóa và đẩy nhanh quá trình phân loại tinh trùng. Bài báo này trình bày việc sử dụng mô hình RetinaNet để phân loại tinh trùng trên ảnh halo. Kết quả thực nghiệm cho thấy mô hình RetinaNet đạt được độ chính xác tốt trong việc phân loại tinh trùng trên ảnh halo. Bài báo cũng đề cập đến những thách thức và hướng phát triển tiếp theo của lĩnh vực này.

Published: January 2024

The paper presents the results of a study of the effect of the composition of PVC compound on the heat resistance of fire-retardant materials based on it. The study was carried out on the example of PVC suspension grades of different molecular weight and with different content of the plasticizer. As a result, it was shown that the heat resistance of fire-retardant materials filled with oxidized graphite is significantly affected by both the content of the plasticizer and the molecular weight of PVC. There is also a dependence of the change in the heat resistance of fire-retardant materials on the viscosity of the polymer matrix.

Published: January 2024

Polymer-analogous transformations have been used to modify copolymers of stearyl methacrylate with maleic anhydride synthesized under radical polymerization conditions using reversible chain transfer agents of various structures. It has been established that copolymer of stearyl methacrylate with maleic anhydride modified by 25% with octanol-1 has a high depressant effect for a pour point of minus 19°С and at the same time significantly reduces both the cloud point values and the maximum filterability temperature of diesel fuel. In this regard, the obtained modified copolymers may be of interest in terms of their practical use as fuel additives.

Authors: Vasilyeva A. S. , Kovriga V. V.
Published: January 2024

The process of tearing on trouser test pieces was studied on four types of materials according to GOST 262-93 for elastomers and according to POLYPLASTIC Group standard STO 73011750-009-2012 [3] for testing thermoplastic materials. It has been shown that when tested according to the POLYPLASTIC Group standard on materials of polyethylene group (using a tearing element), it is possible to realize an area of continuous tearing. Data on tear resistance values were obtained on four materials: plasticized PVC, polyethylene of blow molding grades, PU and silicone.
Redeeming Mary: The Historical Mary and Mary in the Tradition
Authors: CIANO RACHEL
Published: January 2024

The Reformed tradition has struggled to engage sufficiently with the history and theology of Mary, the mother of Jesus, mainly consigning her to the Roman Catholic tradition. Reformed scholarship must redeem Mary’s contribution to the church by retrieving her biblical and historical narrative to address this deficit. Comparing the Mary of the historical record of the New Testament with the portrayal of her that developed into an inflated Marian vision in subsequent centuries reveals marked differences between them. Mary’s historical and biblical story depicts her as a picture of faith, obedience, and God’s grace shown to a woman needing redemption. This retrieval can contribute to apologetics and mission in contexts where Mary sits at the center of spiritual life. KEYWORDS: Mary, Theotokos, Mariology, Roman Catholicism, apologetics, mission
The Church and the Kingdom
Authors: PRATT RICHARD L.
Published: January 2024

The relationship between the church and the kingdom is hardly a new topic in Reformed theology. One might think that by now every imaginable facet of this matter would be settled. However, discussions in various parts of the world show how easily conversations degenerate into polemics that stifle the sacred responsibility “to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Eph 4:3). Perhaps vigorous polemics have served some positive ends in the past. However, at this time when interest in Reformed theology grows around the world, paths must be found that will move beyond the controversies of the past and toward more mutuality.

Suspensión Condicional de la Pena: Falta de regulación y afección a derechos fundamentales
Authors: Rosero-Alvario Daniel Cristóbal , Ramírez-Velásquez Joanna Carolina
Published: January 2024

El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la tipificación de los requisitos para acceder a la suspensión condicional de la pena de acuerdo con lo establecido en la legislación penal ecuatoriana, considerando los aspectos teóricos referentes en la normativa nacional y extranjera a fin de proponer una reforma en la ley penal ecuatoriana para la adecuada aplicación de la suspensión condicional de la pena. La metodología base consistió en una investigación de alcance descriptivo, aplicando como técnica la revisión bibliográfica. Se recurrió al método analítico sintético a fin de descomponer todo el material científico recopilado. La suspensión condicional de la pena se encuentra enmarcado en el Código Orgánico Integral Penal, siendo una opción favorable para personas imputables y su inaplicabilidad en base a la pena en abstracto vulnera evidentemente no sólo el derecho de libertad, sino también, demás principios fundamentales como favorabilidad, proporcionalidad, no discriminación

Authors: Vinueza-Patiño Génesis María , Robles-Zambrano Génesis Karolina , Arandia-Zambrano Juan Carlos
Published: January 2024

El objetivo general de la investigación fue analizar jurídicamente el robo de identidad en el metaverso y vulneración de la imagen personal en Ecuador. Se desarrolló desde el paradigma positivista, desde la perspectiva cuantitativa, apoyada en una indagación documental-bibliográfica. Para el desarrollo del cuerpo teórico, se realiza un análisis crítico de normas, leyes, convenios, artículos arbitrados, entre otros, los que contribuye a la argumentación y elaboración de las conclusiones respectivas. Se concluye que, el robo de identidad digital en el Ecuador se determina en el COIP como suplantación a la identidad, dicha acción es evidente el daño inminente que causa a la imagen de una persona, tanto así que indirectamente, puede violentar también el buen nombre, honor y vulnera la garantía constitucional. Además, es un delito furtivo y se está dando a conocer, a medida que va evolucionando la era tecnológica.

Published: January 2024

El objetivo general de la investigación fue analizar jurídicamente el delito de acoso tecnológico y la legislación ecuatoriana. Se desarrolló desde el enfoque cuantitativo, a través de la búsqueda, recolección y análisis crítico documental, referencial bibliográfico y estudios o proyectos de investigación, desde la interpretación jurídica. Desde un diseño bibliográfico de tipo documental, cuya indagación desde la reflexión crítica, se construyó el método de análisis del fenómeno de estudio. Mediante la técnica de encuesta fue posible obtener respuesta a nuestras preguntas estipulada en la plataforma web Google Forms, en la cual participaron 328 estudiantes de la Universidad Regional Autónoma de los Andes del Cantón Quevedo. Se concluye que, las normativas ecuatorianas aún no se han tipificado en la Legislación Penal como delito de acoso tecnológico. Por ello, determinar una conducta típica es necesario en la Legislación Penal, pues sin ella no se puede determinar lo prohibido y establecer una sanción.
Reconocimiento de diversos tipos de familia y su impacto en la adopción homoparental en Ecuador

Published: January 2024

El objetivo general de la investigación fue analizar jurídicamente el reconocimiento de diversos tipos de familia y su impacto en la adopción homoparental en Ecuador. La investigación se desarrolló desde el paradigma cuantitativo, además se enmarcó desde un diseño documental-bibliográfico. Para lo cual se examinó la legislación ecuatoriana y la doctrina nacional e internacional, haciendo uso además de artículos científicos y tesis, textos de autores que previamente han explorado este tema jurídico, con la utilización de instrumentos metodológicos como la ficha documental. Se puede concluir que limitar la posibilidad de adopción a parejas del mismo sexo es una limitación constitucional y reglamentaria. Por lo tanto, aplicando los criterios de racionalidad y proporcionalidad establecidos por la propia Corte Constitucional del Ecuador, se puede argumentar que el artículo 68 de la Constitución del Ecuador se califica como una disposición discriminatoria, limitando los derechos de adopción de los padres homosexuales.
