Screenwriting sound and music: Towards a new field of study
Authors: Rudolph Pascal , Tieber Claus
Published: April 2024

Extensive research in film and media studies on film music and sound has delved into various aspects of their role in cinema, recognizing their significance. However, a crucial element in film production – the screenplay – has often been overlooked in the exploration of sound and music integration. Concurrently, studies on screenwriting have displayed limited interest in the acoustic dimensions of film, creating a research gap where film music studies intersect with screenwriting studies. This Special Issue aims to address this gap by emphasizing the screenplay’s importance in comprehending the role of sound and music in film. This introduction showcases the diverse ways in which music and sound are integrated into screenplays. The ongoing exploration of screenplays for the analysis of sound and music sets the stage for future research endeavours. The editors and authors of this Special Issue advocate for the screenplay as a valuable resource in film music studies, providing innovative insights into the film production process.
Parâmetros de qualidade da água subterrânea em rochas cristalinas no sul do Estado do Espírito Santo, Sudeste do Brasil
Authors: Neves Mirna Aparecida , Oliveira Matheus Serri Moulin de , Breder Flávia de Paula , Carneiro Maria Tereza Weitzel Dias
Published: April 2024

Em terrenos de rochas cristalinas onde predominam gnaisses e granitoides, a água subterrânea é considerada geralmente de boa qualidade devido à baixa solubilidade dos minerais silicáticos que compõem essas rochas. Porém, em longo prazo, o intemperismo destes minerais silicáticos pode interferir na qualidade da água subterrânea. Quando se trata de aquíferos fraturados, essas alterações são menos previsíveis em função do caráter heterogêneo e anisotrópico intrínseco a tais aquíferos. A região sul do Estado do Espírito Santo tem seu arcabouço geológico constituído basicamente por terrenos cristalinos, onde os parâmetros de qualidade da água voltados à adequação para os diversos usos ainda não foram estudados. O objetivo desse trabalho foi voltado ao preenchimento dessa lacuna, por meio da análise de 62 amostras de água subterrânea coletadas em 38 poços tubulares profundos que explotam o Sistema Aquífero Cristalino na área de abrangência da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Itapemirim, no sul do Estado do Espírito Santo. Foram analisados: potencial hidrogeniônico, condutividade elétrica, sólidos totais dissolvidos, turbidez e as concentrações de Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cd e Co. Os teores de Cd, Co, Pb e Zn ficaram dentro da faixa permitida para os diversos tipos de uso previstos na normativa ambiental. Por outro lado, o Fe, Mn e Na, além da turbidez e sólidos totais dissolvidos estão acima do valor máximo permitido para muitos tipos de uso da água. O aumento dos sólidos dissolvidos e do Na, assim como outros constituintes essenciais das águas subterrâneas, obedece aos controles geomorfológico, litológico e climático, com enriquecimento na porção central da bacia hidrográfica. De forma diferente, o Fe, o Mn e a turbidez apresentam valores anômalos distribuídos de forma aleatória pela bacia, provavelmente devido ao enriquecimento pedogenético em perfis lateríticos e controle estrutural local. É possível que a falta de manutenção adequada dos poços também contribua com tais alterações.
Flat roof classification and leaks detections by Deep Learning
Authors: Zahradník David , Roučka Filip , Karlovská Linda
Published: April 2024

This paper presents an efficient and accurate method for detecting flat roof leaks using a combination of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and deep learning. The proposed method utilizes a DJI M300 drone equipped with RGB and thermal cameras to capture high-resolution images of the roof. These images are then processed to create orthomosaics and digital elevation models (DEMs). A deep learning model based on the U-NET architecture is then used to segment the roof into different classes, such as PVC foil, windows, and sidewalks. Finally, the damaged insulation is identified by analyzing the temperature distribution within the PVC foil segments. The proposed method has several advantages over traditional inspection methods. It is much faster and more efficient. A UAV can collect images of a large roof in a matter of minutes, while traditional methods can take several days or weeks. The orthomosaics and temperature maps generated by the UAV are much more detailed than the images that can be collected by a human inspector. Third, the UAV-based system is safer. The UAV can collect images of the roof without the need for a human inspector to climb onto the roof, which can be dangerous. The results of this study show that the proposed method is an effective and accurate way to detect flat roof leaks. The deep learning model was able to achieve an overall accuracy of 95% in segmenting the roof into different classes. The method was also able to identify damaged insulation with a high degree of accuracy.
Comprehensibility of the Accounting Information Disclosed by the Brazilian Public Sector: An Experiment Based on the Use of Popular Reporting
Authors: Leite Kalina Kely Miranda , Diniz Josedilton Alves
Published: April 2024

Purpose: To investigate the comprehensibility of the information disclosed through accounting reports from the Brazilian public sector by comparing the model mandatory disclosure with alternate disclosures from the popular reporting perspective.
Method: Experimental research was used as a methodology and it was done based on scenarios with the use of a control group and three treatment groups, which encompassed the manipulation of the technical language knowledge variables and the differentiated layout based on popular reporting.
Results and discussions: This paper pointed that the citizens who have no technical language knowledge but who had access to accounting information released by popular reporting know more about the accounting information disclosed by the public sector than the citizens who have technical knowledge and had access to accounting statements traditionally highlighted. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that the differentiated layout, based on popular reporting precepts, is able to overcome the lack of technical knowledge of the majority of users of the accounting information disclosed by the public sector.
Contributions: Analyzing the Brazilian experience on the understandability of accounting information disclosed by the public sector from the comparison between experimental groups, this paper finds evidence that alternative ways of presenting the accounting reports disclosed by the public sector, from the use of a model based on popular reporting, overcome the lack of knowledge of technical terms used by accounting, improving the understanding of users. These findings contribute to improving the process of accountability and transparency of the accounting information disclosed by the Brazilian public sector.

Authors: Kim Hyun Suk , Jeong Heejeong , Moon Hyungbin , Park Sang Hyun
Published: April 2024

Background: This study aimed to prioritize policy measures to improve radiation safety management in medical institutions using the analytic hierarchy process.Materials and Methods: It adopted three policy options—engineering, education, and enforcement—to categorize safety management measures, the so-called Harvey’s 3Es. Then, the radiation safety management measures obtained from the current system and other studies were organized into action plan categories. Using the derived model, this study surveyed 33 stakeholders of radiation safety management in medical institutions and analyzed the importance of each measure.Results and Discussion: As a result, these stakeholders generally identified enforcement as the most important factor for improving the safety management system. The study also found that radiation safety officers and medical physicists perceived different measures as important, indicating clear differences in opinions among stakeholders, especially in improving quality assurance in radiation therapy. Hence, the process of coordination and consensus is likely to be critical in improving the radiation safety management system.Conclusion: Stakeholders in the medical field consider enforcement as the most critical factor in improving their safety management systems. Specifically, the most crucial among the six specific action plans was the “reinforcement of the organization and workforce for safety management,” with a relative importance of 25.7%
La Unión Europea y la regulación de los mundos virtuales
Authors: Cruz Ángeles Jonatán
Published: April 2024

La irrupción de la realidad virtual en nuestras vidas cotidianas plantea un sinfín de aplicaciones que van mucho más allá del desarrollo de meros videojuegos inmersivos. Se trata de plataformas comerciales en tres dimensiones: los mundos virtuales. Pero, ¿qué regulación se aplica en estos nuevos espacios? Con el fin de abordar dicha cuestión, esta obra parte del estudio del paquete de medidas de la Unión Europea destinado a regular el Mercado Único Digital, con el objeto de garantizar un equilibrio entre la promoción de la innovación y la protección de los usuarios europeos. Los Reglamentos de Servicios Digitales y de Mercados Digitales se destacan por su enfoque proactivo y detallado, delineando un entorno digital que aspira a ser justo y transparente para todas las partes involucradas. Paralelamente, el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos se consolida como un referente en la protección de la privacidad y los datos personales, estableciendo estándares que otros países y regiones procuran emular. La legislación comunitaria adquiere especial importancia en estos nuevos espacios, donde la recogida y gestión de datos personales se masifica. Asimismo, la Unión Europea debe abordar la cuestión de la propiedad intelectual de los activos digitales, protegiendo estos bienes en un territorio todavía inexplorado. Este fenómeno incluye definir cómo se protegen los derechos de autor, mecanismos efectivos de resolución de conflictos o la autoridad competente para dirimirlos. Y es que, más allá de nuestras fronteras exteriores, se requiere una alineación de las políticas comunitarias o su convivencia con la práctica de terceros Estados. Esta adaptabilidad normativa ante la evolución tecnológica resultará clave para asegurar un progreso tecnológico dinámico y responsable.
A Study of Employee Digital Supply Chain Skill Needs and Business School Executive Education Program Coverage of These Skills
Authors: Foroughi Abbas
Published: April 2024

Digital technologies are being widely adopted to bring visibility and efficiency to supply chains, but employees often lack the technology skills needed to use them effectively. This situation presents significant opportunities for business school executive education programs to access new pools of students and remain relevant as a source of employee technology training, even as they face stiff competition from a myriad of online training providers. This study examined business school executive education websites to determine the extent to which they are meeting the digital supply chain training needs of corporate employees. Findings indicate that, although employee format preferences for short, online, customized, flexible courses have been built into executive education programs, a number of critical digital supply chain topics are covered by only a few business school programs or not at all.
Provider Exclusion in US Private Health Insurance Contract
Authors: Costello Michael M
Published: April 2024

Two national newspaper articles published in the Fall of 2018 addressed the issue of private health insurance provider contracts that act to exclude specific health systems from health plan networks. Inevitably, the question arises: Are such agreements illegal restraints of trade actionable under federal and state antitrust laws? A long-standing tenet of antifrust law is that it exists to protect competition not competitors. Excluding providers may be a legitimate outgrowth of the contracting process and therefore legal. However, an examination of the contracting process may reveal anticompetitive intent to restrain trade. The specific facts surrounding provider exclusion must be analyzed carefully in an effort to determine if there is illegal restraint of trade.

Probiotics for inflammatory bowel disease: Is there sufficient evidence?
Authors: Ma Yueying , Yang Dandan , Huang Jin , Liu Kunli , Liu Huirong , Wu Huangan , Bao Chunhui
Published: April 2024

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to chronic inflammatory disorders of the gut. Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) are two subtypes of IBD. Evidence suggests that the intestinal microbiota plays a role in the pathogenesis of IBD, so probiotics have garnered a lot of interest as a potential treatment or prevention for IBD. However, clinical evidence of the efficacy of probiotics is still debatable. We performed a literature review. An advanced search considered clinical studies on probiotic for IBD from inception to 2023 in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. In the treatment of UC with probiotics, only Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 for maintenance treatment of UC in remission, and Bifidobacterium and VSL#3 for induction of remission in patients with mild to moderately active UC have shown strong evidence. Currently, there are no definitive conclusions regarding the effectiveness of probiotics in CD. The mechanism of probiotic treatment for IBD may be related to reducing oxidative stress, repairing the intestinal barrier, regulating intestinal flora balance, and modulating intestinal immune response. Differences in the benefits of probiotics between CD and UC may be attributable to the different lesion extent and immune-mediated pathophysiology. More robust randomized clinical trials are required to validate the efficacy and safety of diverse probiotic strains in IBD.
The grammaticalization of the existential sign var in Turkish Sign Language: a Construction Grammar approach
Authors: Makaroğlu Bahtiyar
Published: April 2024

This paper describes the development of the existential sign var ‘there’ in Turkish Sign Language from a synchronic point of view. The sign has been previously described as being restricted to clause-final predicate position and typically used for two main linguistic functions: (i) existential and (ii) possessive. However, abundant corpus evidence indicates that var can also be used for other linguistic functions in post-verbal position, which have not been reported in the literature before. Following Construction Grammar, this study presents a theoretical framework to investigate how the construction [verb + var] arose and what its semantic motivation is, paying particular attention to the notion of possession. It is argued that this construction has three different functions: (i) habitual, (ii) evidential, and (iii) assumptive. According to this account, var originated as an existential marker and subsequently developed into a marker of possession, before evolving to encompass its other linguistic functions in three stages. Using Labov’s Apparent Time Hypothesis (Labov, William. 1963. The social motivation of a sound change. Word 19(3). 273–309), closer examination also revealed that a progressive difference exists between age groups. Younger TİD signers use the construction [verb + var] more frequently, and as the age of the TİD signer decreases, the usage of this construction in the assumptive function increases considerably.
Thinking Planetary About Global Futures: Posthuman Cosmopolitanism
Authors: Biano Ilaria W.
Published: April 2024

The link between the global condition and planetary thinking is a crucial one when thinking about the future. Positing itself in the context of future-oriented history and posthumanist and planetary thinking, the essay reflects on a central concept of global thought such as cosmopolitanism, theorizing the possibility of a posthuman cosmopolitanism. Built on concepts such as multiple modernities and secularities, philosophical posthumanism, and non-anthropocentric history, posthuman cosmopolitanism is primarily future-focused, globally rooted, and planetary oriented. Specifically, by proposing as a case study of a sort a posthumanist approach to a rethinking of cosmopolitanism, the essay emphasizes how thinking planetary and in a posthumanist and post-anthropocentric way does not entail, as it may be assumed, a relativization and loss of relevance of “the human” per se, but a more complex web of intra-active relations. By building on the work of authors such as Braidotti, Domanska, Chakrabarty, Simon, and Latour, the essay proposes an original reflection, engaging with a crucial issue such as how to think about a global future that focuses on globality as the product of interconnected, multiple processes and constantly shifting interrelations between human and non-human forces.
mcGFN-FF: an accurate force field for optimization and energetic screening of molecular crystals
Authors: Grimme Stefan , Rose Thomas
Published: April 2024

This work presents a periodic extension of the GFN-FF force field for molecular crystals named mcGFN-FF. Non-covalent interactions in the force field are adjusted to reduce the systematic overbinding of the original, molecular version for molecular crystals. A diverse set of molecular crystal benchmarks for lattice energies and unit cell volumes is studied. The modified force field shows good results with a mean absolute relative deviation (MARD) of 19.9 % for lattice energies and 10.0 % for unit cell volumes. In many cases, mcGFN-FF approaches the accuracy of the GFN1-xTB quantum chemistry method which has an MARD of 18.7 % for lattice energies and 6.2 % for unit cell volumes. Further, the newly compiled mcVOL22 benchmark set is presented which features r2SCAN-D4/900 eV DFT reference volumes for molecular crystals with phosphorus-, sulfur-, and chlorine-containing compounds of various sizes. Overall, the mcGFN-FF poses an efficient tool for the optimization and energetic screening of molecular crystals containing elements up to radon.
Oxygen diffusion in β-Ga2O3 single crystals under different oxygen partial pressures at 1375 °C
Authors: Uhlendorf Johanna , Schmidt Harald
Published: April 2024

The monoclinic β-polymorph of gallium oxide is a semiconductor with an ultra-wide bandgap. It is becoming increasingly significant for various technological applications. We have investigated the tracer self-diffusion of oxygen in β-Ga2O3 single crystals as a function of the oxygen partial pressure (2, 20 and 200 mbar) at a temperature of 1375 °C. Isotopically enriched 18O2 gas was used as a tracer source and secondary ion mass spectrometry to analyze depth profiles. We observed that, with decreasing oxygen partial pressure, the diffusivities at a given temperature increase significantly. We suggest that this behaviour can be explained by a change in the diffusion mechanism from oxygen interstitials to oxygen vacancies.
Quelites—Agrobiodiversity beyond our crops
Authors: Ebel Roland , Menalled Fabián D. , Morales Payán J. Pablo , Baldinelli Giulia Maria , Berríos Ortiz Laura , Castillo Cocom Juan Ariel
Published: April 2024

The monoculture of a handful of energy-dense crops that dominates contemporary agriculture has resulted in an erosion of agrobiodiversity, environmental issues, agroecosystem dependency on off-farm inputs, and diets with poor diversity in nutrients and flavors. However, diversified agriculture persists in communities characterized by subsistence farming, many of them Indigenous. Although movements across Latin America aim to rescue agrobiodiversity, they are widely limited to cropping system diversification, including practices such as crop rotations, intercropping, and cover crops. The agrobiodiversity of plants associated with crops, often labeled as weeds, is commonly not considered in this context. Yet edible weeds are the essential components of traditional food systems where they increase the functional diversity of agroecosystems and contribute to human nutrition. In Mexico, the term “quelite” describes noncultivated but edible plants growing on a crop field. Across the American continent, there are nutritious quelites that are commonly perceived as “weeds.” In this article, we discuss the concept of quelites, their origin in traditional Mexican agriculture, their significance for agroecosystem diversification, and their potential for the future. We demonstrate, with 12 examples, that quelites have always been part of agroecosystems across the Americas. We aim to spread the concept of quelites beyond traditional farming in Mexico to promote the use of these promising plants. We conclude the article with suggestions for strategies to achieve this goal.

Boundary Cave and other land cadastral boundary marks around Socerb Castle and the Rosandra valley
Authors: Triglav Čekada Mihaela , Bratož – Ježek Branko
Published: April 2024

In this paper we will describe the former boundaries of the cadastral municipalities in the Slovenian-Italian cross-border area between the Socerb castle and the Rosandra valley. Today, the villages of Socerb and Beka are located on the Slovenian side of the border, and Mačkolje (Caresana), Prebeneg (Prebenico), Dolina (San Dorlingo della Valle), Boljunec (Bagnoli della Rosandra), Kroglje (Crogole), Gornji Konec (Bagnoli Superiore) and Botač (Bottazzo) on the Italian side. At the time of the Franciscan cadastral survey in this area (from 1818 to 1822), i.e., at the time of the Austrian Empire, these villages, except for Mačkolje, belonged to the district of Fünfenberg, which was part of the province of Istria. Therefore, the same type of cadastral municipality boundary marks from the Franciscan or a revised cadastral survey can be found here as elsewhere in the present-day territory of Slovenia. In addition to the twelve boundary stones with inscriptions, we will also present two natural boundary marks: inscriptions carved on the entrance walls of a cave and inscriptions carved on the smooth rock wall. We will also show that the boundary stones in the Primorska region, which have the same shape as the former cadastral municipality boundary stones, could also have once marked former common lands of agrarian communities, here called jusi, and these were not always the same as the cadastral municipality boundaries.
En svensk röst från Kaunas och Vilnius1939–1940: Lennart Kjellbergs brev
Authors: Sausverde Erika
Published: April 2024

In this article, I intend to publish a series of letters by Lennart Kjellberg (1913–2004) who had worked as a Swedish lecturer in Lithuania at the University in Kaunas and Vilnius before World War II, in 1939–1940. I met Lennart Kjellberg several times in the early 90s when I, a young scholar after completing Swedish and Nordic studies and a doctorate in historical linguistics, came to Vilnius and started teaching at the University of Vilnius and set up the Department for Scandinavian Studies. We met several times in Uppsala, and Lennart Kjellberg gave me a bundle of copies of his letters, mainly to his bride Ann-Mari Stridbeck written in 1939, encouraging me to publish them. Kjellberg’s letters are an incredibly exciting source of information and insight for those interested in the cultural and political life of Lithuania during that time and in its perception by a young Swedish intellectual. For me, meeting Lennart Kjellberg, besides everything else, was an unexpected collision with the past which had been cut away by Soviet oppression. For those who grew up during the Soviet era, the period before and during the Soviet presence was sort of divided into then and now (before and after World War II). The loss of continuity in Lithuania’s history is perhaps one of its greatest traumas caused by the Soviet period. For this reason, Kjellberg’s letters, most of which are being published here for the first time, not only give us a lively picture of pre-war Lithuania but also contribute to our better understanding of our past and of ourselves.
The Experience of Social Pedagogues and Social Workers when Realising the Right of the Child to Participate in Children’s Day Care Centres
Authors: Raudeliūnaitė Rita , Gudžinskienė Vida
Published: April 2024

The objective of the study is to reveal the realities of the realisation of the right of the child to participate in children’s day care centres based on the experience of social pedagogues and social workers. Qualitative research was chosen for the study by using the method of semi-structured interview. 11 professionals, who work in children’s day care centres in different Lithuanian regions, participated in the study. The study identified the expression of the realisation of the right of the child to participate in children’s day care centres. The expression of the right of the child to participate in children’s day care centres is associated with a positive position of the professionals in the practice of the child’s right to participation, their cooperation with the child, their mutual cooperation, their cooperation with the child’s parents/guardians and other institutions when realising the right of the child to participation. The positive position of the professionals is expressed through the understanding of the importance of this right and inclination to realise it, the acknowledgement of the child as an active participant in decision-making, openness to the opinion of the child and nonsuppression of their opinion. The cooperation of the professionals with the child is expressed through the creation of the relationships, which are  based on mutual trust, the informing of the child that his opinion is important, that he can express it and be heard, the provision of information to the child in a way that is understandable to him while empowering him to participate in decision-making, the listening to the child and his support, the taking into account the child’s opinion while responding to his best interests, the analysis of situations and the discussion of various solutions with the child in a way understandable to him, assistance when taking decisions related to him, the involvement of the child and the taking into account his needs and interests when planning and organising socio-educational activities, the encouragement of the child to assume his obligations and responsibilities. The cooperation of children’s day care centres professionals is expressed though their favourable and unified approach towards this right, their involvement in the realisation of this right and the sharing of the experience when realising this right. The cooperation with the child’s parents/guardians is expressed through the assistance to them in understanding the importance and expression of this right, their consulting and assistance while creating conditions for this right to be expressed at home. The cooperation with other institutions is expressed through the sharing of information and insights on the positive aspects of the realisation of this right and the discussion of arising difficulties and possibilities to overcome them.
Primary Health Care: the Relational Aspects of Social Interaction between Family Doctors and People with Disabilities
Authors: Rupšienė Liudmila , Saveljeva Regina , Batuchina Aleksandra
Published: April 2024

Strategic documents of the United Nations and the European Union express the belief that primary health care is a fundamental part of health care services and it must be accessible to all people and funded according to the means. Many research studies prove that enhancement of the primary health care system helps to effectively eliminate causes and risk factors for poor health and to prevent likely impairment of health in the future. However, the data of recent investigations demonstrate that the quality of health care services in Lithuania is much poorer than the average of the EU, and the institution of family doctors providing services of this type suffers from problems related to the efficiency of functioning. Therefore, it is worth investigating possible causes for this problem, to identify them and search for solutions. The paper presents the research that is aimed at examining one part of the aspects of the problem, specifically the relational aspects of social interaction between family doctors and people with disabilities from the point of view of people with disabilities and their relatives. 555 people with disabilities (PWD) and 540 respondents who had relatives with disabilities and took care of them (PWDcare) participated in the survey carried out in 2019–2020 and reported about their experience of social interaction with family doctors. The research indicated many positive tendencies, of which the most prominent was the satisfaction of the relationship, trust and understandment with family doctors. But at the same time the research revealed some more problematic areas, such as the lack of family doctors’ compassion and warmth to many patients. These results are important for improving the primary health care service and quality as well for strengthening the family doctors’ education.
РОЛЬ БАНКІВ У ЕКОНОМІЧНОМУ ВІДНОВЛЕННІ ЯПОНІЇ ПІСЛЯ ДРУГОЇ СВІТОВОЇ ВІЙНИ
Authors: ПІЛЯЄВ Ігор
Published: April 2024

У контексті залучення потенціалу банківського сектору для повоєнної реконструкції економіки України здійснено комплексний аналіз ролі банків у економічному відновленні Японії, визначено ключові фактори, суб’єктів та інституціонально-фінансові інструменти, що забезпечили успіх даного процесу. Передумовами успішної повоєнної відбудови японської економіки були: практично повне відокремлення внутрішньої фінансової системи від міжнародних фінансових структур; сувора довгострокова фіксація обмінного курсу ієни, валютний і фінансовий контроль з боку держави; збалансування державного бюджету; повна відмова уряду від випуску урядових боргових зобов’язань; жорстка функціонально-статусна ієрархія банків та інших кредитно-фінансових установ; заборона комерційним банкам проводити емісію, розміщувати цінні папери нефінансових корпорацій і виконувати трастові операції; запровадження мінімальних ставок за депозитами населення. Усе це забезпечило направлення обмежених фінансових ресурсів афілійованих з урядом стратегічних банків, комерційних банків і ощадних фінансових установ на інвестування пріоритетних, експортоорієнтованих галузей промислового виробництва.

Розкрито роль конфуціанських комунітарно-солідаристських цінностей у забезпеченні успіху стратегічної ставки уряду на свідоме обмеження населенням поточного споживання і направлення заощаджень домогосподарств банківськими каналами на цілі інноваційного економічного зростання. Показано, що основними суб’єктами побудови фінансового механізму післявоєнної Японії були великі корпорації головних галузей промисловості,  фінансові установи, через які спрямовувалися грошові потоки, і міністерство фінансів, яке виступало опікуном фінансової ієрархії.

У цьому контексті пропонується заохочувати впровадження в Україні комунітарно-солідаристської ціннісної моделі відбудови й розвитку економіки, притаманної Японії та іншим економічно розвинутим країнам і суспільствам конфуціанської традиції, таким як Південна Корея, Сінгапур і Тайвань.

Published: April 2024

Проаналізовано виклики для ринку праці й економіки України, що виникли внаслідок повномасштабної війни і проявлятимуться в післявоєнний період. Зазначено загрозу дефіциту кваліфікованих кадрів через військові дії, міграцію, закриття підприємств, відплив працівників, скорочення бюджетів на навчання тощо. Запропоновано комплексну стратегію адаптації ринку праці країни та її регіонів до цих змін, зокрема, через перекваліфікацію та оцінювання знань і навичок у кваліфікаційних центрах з акцентуванням на потреби підприємств.

Підкреслено необхідність трансформації підходів до відновлення кадрового потенціалу країни з використанням європейського досвіду і з огляду на сучасні технологічні виклики. Детально розглянуто роль і переваги розбудови мережі кваліфікаційних центрів у розвитку та інтеграції України в європейський освітній простір, їх потенціал у вирішенні проблем безробіття і внутрішньої міграції робочої сили. Визнано важливість кваліфікаційних центрів на різних рівнях управління й підтримки з боку різних зацікавлених сторін, незважаючи на недосконалість інституційного забезпечення. Обґрунтовано значення співпраці з системою професійно-технічної освіти і бізнесом для адаптації навчальних програм до потреб ринку праці й розширення послуг кваліфікаційних центрів на гуманітарні та соціально значущі професії. Доведено важливість вирішення питань ефективності й комерціалізації діяльності кваліфікаційних центрів, особливо на початкових етапах їх створення. Акцентовано, що сталий розвиток мережі кваліфікаційних центрів можливий за умови комбінування різних джерел фінансування, включаючи державні асигнування, інвестиції від підприємств і міжнародні гранти.

Published: April 2024

Background: Low-dose aspirin lowers cardiovascular event risk; dual-pathway inhibition (DPI) using low-dose aspirin with low-dose rivaroxaban may reduce this risk further. A systematic literature review and meta-analysis compared the efficacy, safety and net clinical benefit (NCB) of DPI with aspirin. Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched for randomised controlled trials reporting clinical efficacy, safety and NCB of DPI compared with aspirin alone in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or peripheral artery disease. Six articles representing four trials were included. Results: DPI versus aspirin alone significantly reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (HR 0.77; 95% CI [0.69–0.87]; p<0.01), increased International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis major bleeding events (HR 1.67; 95% CI [1.37–2.02]; p<0.01) and resulted in a significant NCB (HR 0.79; 95% CI [0.70–0.90]; p<0.01).

La ética empresarial, entendida como una reflexión crítica de la actividad empresarial y cuyo propósito es dar razón de los presupuestos morales que conforman y sustentan la legitimidad de la empresa, que debe actuar en función de las aspiraciones de la sociedad; y como antítesis la corrupción, que ha dejado de ser un ámbito exclusivo de funcionarios públicos y se ha extendido a la gran empresa y trasnacional. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo general, analizar la corrupción de este tipo de empresas en México atendiendo a la política fiscal y la afectación que genera en el mercado interno, a través de dos métodos de investigación; dogmático jurídico para el estudio de los regímenes fiscales de la empresa y cuantitativo para el análisis estadístico. Entre los resultados, se observa que la corrupción de la empresa trasnacional tiene consecuencias serias como; monopolios, afectación a las decisiones políticas y la existente vinculación entre funcionarios públicos y empresas que afectan al mercado interno, a la economía y a la sociedad en general.
ANÁLISIS MULTINIVEL DE LAS ACTITUDES QUE PROMUEVEN Y OBSTACULIZAN LA APERTURA AL CAMBIO EN NEGOCIOS PARTICIPANTES EN EL BUEN FIN
Authors: Cernas Ortiz Daniel Arturo , Mercado Salgado Patricia , Nava Rogel Rosa María
Published: April 2024

El Buen Fin (la versión mexicana del Viernes Negro, Black Friday) es un reto organizativo al que los negocios participantes deben ajustarse para obtener los mejores beneficios posibles. La apertura al cambio es un factor clave para el éxito del cambio y el afrontamiento de retos que se está en función de fuerzas impulsoras y de resistencia. Entre las primeras: la actitud favorable al cambio. Entre las segundas: las actitudes de cinismo y de temor al cambio. El propósito de este trabajo correlacional y exploratorio fue examinar la relación entre la apertura al cambio que representa el Buen Fin y la actitud favorable, de cinismo y de temor a él. También se indagó si tales actitudes tienen efectos grupales que afecten la apertura al cambio. El diseño de investigación fue transversal y no experimental. Se aplicó una encuesta autoadministrada en 36 negocios que participan en el Buen Fin en la Ciudad de Toluca, México (n = 108). Se empleó regresión múltiple y modelamiento multinivel para analizar los datos. Se encontró que las actitudes favorables y de cinismo se relacionan positiva y negativamente, respectivamente, con la apertura al cambio. Estas mismas actitudes muestran efectos grupales que pueden ser aún más relevantes que los individuales. La apertura al cambio es importante para aprovechar los beneficios del Buen Fin, aunque su fomento depende de la gestión efectiva de las fuerzas de impulso (actitud favorable) y resistencia (actitud de cinismo) al cambio.
Chile frente a la extensión de la plataforma continental Argentina
Authors: Álvarez Soza Daniel Rigoberto
Published: April 2024

El planteamiento iniciado por la República Argentina el 21 de abril de 2009, en cuanto a la extensión del límite exterior de la plataforma continental ante la Comisión de Límites de la Plataforma Continental (CLPC), provocaría efectos, cuyas consecuencias tendrían implicancias y variaciones importantes de esta zona marítima regulada por la Convención del Mar de 1982, la que ajustándose plenamente a derecho, según la normativa internacional vigente, estaría reorientando, desde el punto de vista geográfico como oceanopolítico, la posición en términos de proyección, del suelo y subsuelo marino, de la presencialidad oceánica demandada por el Estado argentino. Esto, mirado desde el punto de vista de un acto preparatorio, en cuanto a las pretensiones argentinas sobre las Islas Malvinas y el territorio antártico, ambos casos sujetos a condiciones de política exterior pendientes y dispuestos en causales jurídicas distintas. Si bien los argumentos expuestos, se ajustan plenamente a condiciones jurídicas fundadas en resoluciones y en tratados internacionales vigentes, las consecuencias de esta iniciativa impulsada por la República Argentina, a nuestro juicio, embarazan o al menos limitan los intereses y derechos de Chile generados por esta acción, de una parte por la ocurrencia de superposiciones marinas que se observan sobre aguas nacionales australes y la soberanía de la Isla Diego Ramírez; así como la alteración del principio de la continuidad territorial de Chile sobre parte del continente antártico con el cual nuestro país mantiene una situación expectable desde el punto de vista histórico, jurídico- diplomático y geopolítico, todos argumentos reconocidos por la comunidad internacional.
La pedagogía comprensivo edificadora y sus fundamentos
Authors: Campos Palacios Elvis
Published: April 2024

El constructo de la comprensión edificadora viene siendo trabajado por largo tiempo por un número importante de autores, de distintos países de Iberoamérica encabezados por el doctor Julio César Arboleda. Esta propuesta se nutre de diversas perspectivas tales como la perspectiva radical e inclusiva, la pedagogía de la alteridad y la pedagogía mesoaxiológica. Esta propuesta pretende generar oportunidades y capacidades para dignificar la educación, lo cual precisa establecer relaciones ótricas en el acto de educar. El presente artículo pretende exponer los fundamentos que la nutren y las visiones de profesionales de distintas posiciones epistémicas que encuentran razones valederas para sustentar la propuesta de Arboleda. La comprensión edificadora, al igual que las perspectivas afines se distancian del enfoque por competencias, paradigma institucionalizado por el mundo global, en que éste último representa un constructo que orienta en la generación de capacidades para formar individuos que desde el conocimiento puedan aportar al mundo de hoy, muchas veces dominado por la necesidad imperante de disponer de mano de obra especializada y eficiente. Esta pedagogía busca avanzar en la idea de que el mundo en que vivimos necesita instituciones educativas que incluyan en sus proyectos la implementación de este enfoque. Este estado al que hemos llegado necesita de seres humanos que aprendan a vivir de manera más humana, para desempeñarse, en el mundo del mercado, de la sociedad global del conocimiento, con actitud edificadora, inclusive con eficiencia y eficacia, pero sin la misión de perpetuar la rentabilidad, sino, por el contrario, de formar personas que aporten en la construcción de nuevos escenarios que aseguren el desarrollo de seres idóneos, solidarios, éticos y críticos, reflexivos, creativos, incluyentes, proactivos.
Políticas públicas en la Región de Coquimbo : Necesidad de un Observatorio Universitario de Políticas Públicas para la toma de decisiones. Una mirada desde el Derecho
Authors: Magna Carlos
Published: April 2024

Que la administración pública es una actividad compleja, llena de desafíos y de mucha responsabilidad, es una afirmación que refleja una realidad que esconde más preguntas que respuestas. En efecto, la implementación de políticas gubernamentales de todo tipo, desde las reformas en el plano educativo, las políticas demográficas, de inmigración o de fomento económico, así como la toma de decisiones gubernamentales en el plano regional, provincial o comunal tienen un denominador común. La necesidad de contar con información fidedigna y análisis acucioso de datos que permitan justificar la implementación, modificación o simplemente el control de las mismas.
Trombólisis intravenosa en el manejo del síndrome disartria-mano torpe. Reporte de caso y abordaje terapéutico
Authors: Martínez-Marino Manuel , Cerda-Mancillas Megan Carolina , Guerrero-Toledo Moisés , Hernández-Domínguez Julián Alberto
Published: April 2024

Resumen
Introducción. Los infartos lacunares suelen tener una presentación compleja. En los pacientes con este tipo de infartos la sospecha de isquemia justifica el estudio de los síntomas neurológicos focales y la decisión de ofrecer una terapia de reperfusión que favorezca su pronóstico.
Presentación del caso. Hombre de 55 años con enfermedad cerebrovascular que se manifestó con vértigo, disartria y dismetría de una extremidad. El paciente sufrió un infarto pontino de semiología compatible con síndrome de disartria-mano torpe (SDMT) y, al no existir factores de riesgo para descartar una terapia de reperfusión, fue sometido a trombólisis intravenosa (TI), con lo cual tuvo una recuperación favorable y evolucionó sin discapacidad ni recurrencia después del tratamiento a largo plazo con prevención secundaria.
Conclusiones. A pesar de que el uso de la reperfusión intravenosa ha sido controversial en oclusiones vertebrobasilares, mientras se cumplan los criterios de inclusión dicho tratamiento puede ser favorable, tal como se evidenció en el presente caso. La terapia de TI en la fase aguda de la enfermedad de vaso pequeño y en circulación posterior tiene un beneficio similar que en el resto de los subtipos de infartos cerebrales.

Published: April 2024

Resumen
Introducción. El carcinoma similar al linfoepitelioma (LELC por sus siglas en inglés) es una variante de tumor muy infrecuente y agresiva, llamado así por su similitud histológica con linfoepiteliomas nasofaríngeos.
Presentación del caso. Hombre de 60 años que fue remitido al servicio de urología de un hospital público en la ciudad de Madrid (España) por una tumoración en el pene de 2 cm de diámetro de aproximadamente dos años de evolución. El análisis histopatológico reveló un tumor de crecimiento endofítico que ocupaba la porción ventral del glande, que infiltraba el meato uretral, cuerpo cavernoso, cuerpo esponjoso y uretra. Se decidió tratamiento quirúrgico (penectomía parcial) sin tratamiento neoadyuvante. El examen histológico confirmó el diagnóstico de carcinoma similar al linfoepitelioma de uretra.
Conclusión. El carcinoma similar al linfoepitelioma es un tumor poco frecuente en el aparato urinario y su aparición en el pene es excepcional. Cuando se localiza en esta zona el tratamiento generalmente combina cirugía y quimioterapia, y tiene buen pronóstico y mejores tasas de respuesta cuanto mayor es el componente linfoide en el tumor.
Patriarcado e interseccionalidade
Authors: Sento-Sé Isadora Vianna
Published: April 2024

O artigo discute a importância dos domínios público e privado na análise feminista, destacando a presença da dicotomia entre essas esferas nas teorias do patriarcado e na interseccionalidade. A separação entre o público e o privado tem raízes históricas e está relacionada à opressão das mulheres na esfera privada e sua exclusão da esfera pública. A exclusão das mulheres da teoria política tradicional e a invisibilidade de suas identidades de gênero são criticadas, apontando a importância de reconhecer a influência do gênero na esfera pública e na economia. A oposição entre público e privado é explorada nos estudos feministas e permeia as teorias do patriarcado e da interseccionalidade, aqui expressas pelos escritos de Pateman, Okin, Fraser, Walby, Hill Colins, Crenshaw, Davis e Bilge; evidenciando o potencial de complementaridade entre ambas correntes teóricas.
