Ideology of the New Atheism as a Variant of the “Multiple Versions of Modernity” of Post-Secular Society
Authors:   Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Republic of Tatarstan, Russian Federation, Smirnova Yulia , Fazleeva Regina ,   Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Republic of Tatarstan, Russian Federation
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the main ideas of Alan Gilbert Nixon, a contemporary sociologist of religion and researcher of the new atheism movement. The subject of the study is the ideology of the new atheism movement as a special anti-religious worldview associated with the work of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett and Christopher Hitchens, which arose in 2006. Nixon himself, studying this movement, uses an original methodology, which he calls ‘grounded theory’ and explores the development of a new atheism in the actual contextual space of interaction between participants and the prospects of this interaction. The methodology of the authors of this article is based on the principle of the unity of the historical and logical interpretation of the key concepts and positions of A. Nixon in the process of a systematic analysis of historical background, ideological foundation, self-presentation of representatives of the new atheism movement. In addition, in the context of this study, a number of social changes (the globalization of capitalism, the development of the Internet and the related “leaps of communication”, the religious renaissance) are considered as a necessary context for the formation of a special “narrative mythology” of the new atheism, expressed in the idea of the greatness of Nature and Science. and suggesting a kind of piety within the worldview of the new atheism. As the main result of the presented analysis, one can single out the conceptual design of key aspects of the existence of a modern anti-religious worldview: hyperskepticism in the knowledge of the world, nihilism and the denial of classical metaphysics of rationality, criticism of the values of religious morality; a postmodern paradox that erases the boundaries between religious/non-religious and cancels the very possibility of discrimination on religious grounds, which nullifies the confrontational logic of the new atheism; the emergence of secular non-religious missionary work as a result of the process of competition of ideas in the space of “multiple modernities”; and, finally, the fact that the new atheistic message is gaining adherents because the anti-religious worldview is subject to the cultural logic of late capitalism with its postmodern spread of pluralism of cultures, discourses, organizations.
The Concept of “Diaspora” in the Modern Theoretical Debate
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management, Russian Federation, Dumnova Elnara
Published: October 2023

The article presents an analysis of the transformation of methodological discourse on the concept of diaspora in the framework of migration issues studies. The development of research in a certain area is always associated with methodological issues that give rise to different approaches, despite this, they require their own solutions. The study of the experience of conceptualizing the concept of diaspora seems necessary from the point of view of clarifying the instrumental capabilities and, consequently, the methodological productivity of this concept, which is necessary for the selection and consistent justification of research optics in the process of developing a strategy for studying various aspects of international migration and separately the diaspora as its significant component. The transformation of the theoretical debate is considered within the framework of its periodization proposed by R. Cohen. Based on the analysis of a number of Western concepts of diaspora, the main approaches to the interpretation of this concept are revealed: essentialist and relativistic. Representatives of the first approach (W. Safran, R. Cohen) position diaspora as a kind of the model, which has fixed features that determine its unchangeable essence. The most significant of them are forced nature of migration, the connection with the homeland and the desire to return there. Despite the fact that R. Cohen proposed an expanded somewhat liberalized set of features of diaspora, it continued to be considered from the point of view of the necessary presence of certain features of this community, which makes it possible to define it as a diaspora. This approach has been criticized. Its opponents were representatives of relativism and constructionism (Clifford, Gillroy and Hall). They identified the flexibility of diaspora, the diversity of its causes, a number of acquired features and aspects of existence, in addition to the connection with the motherland. The second approach considers a new type of diaspora – trans-diaspora – in the context of transnational migration. The diaspora began to be positioned procedurally in the new conditions of a globalizing world and transnational living space. Thus, two types of definitions of the concept of diaspora have been formed: reterritorialized and deterritorialized. The author of the article reveals the features of these approaches and their methodological productivity from the point of view of a research strategy.
Rationality and Symbolism of the Self-Rotating Torus
Authors:   Saratov State University, Russian Federation, Shimelfenig Oleg
Published: October 2023

Rational thinking and language are faced with diffi culties, when it is necessary to express the setting of two opposite aspects of reality - change and constancy. The author is developing a plot-game methodology based on the ontological generalization of art history concepts of the plot, script and game to the level of philosophical categories. Categories correspond to natural science terms. On the basis of the selected universals – ‘through’ units of Being, with the involvement of geometric images-symbols of a circle, sphere and torus – a solution to the problem of organic synthesis of change with constancy is proposed using the ontological construction of a quasi-cyclic plot. The essence of this concept is that the condition for the existence of any forms and processes of reality are quasi-cyclic plots that set the sequence of almost cyclic changes. The quasi-cycle can be thought of as a reproduction of the plot spiral (that is, in the next generation) “from egg to egg” (ab ovo ad ovum). In a quasi-cycle, everything starts from some initial, ‘folded’ state of some form, then it develops (in accordance with the ‘unfolding’ of events around it) to a certain limit, ‘culmination’. The result is the generation of a new, similar to the original form. The constantly transforming initial formation itself at a certain time ‘dissolves’ in the plot stream of reality, being absorbed by other forms that are at one stage or another of their existence cycles – from appearance to disappearance. The ‘minimal’ basic proto-plot “ab ovo ad ovum” in the plot-game picture of the world is “blinking”, the pulsation of the Universe, and the ‘maximum’ is the cycle of manifestation and ‘convolution’ of the Universe. All other plots arise on the basis of the fi rst, being forming fragments of the second. The results of work, like the plot-game concept as a whole, can be applied both in natural-scientifi c and in humanitarian research, in their practical applications, in teaching any knowledge and skills. They are of particular importance for personal spiritual development.
The Tradition of Russian Art Nouveau in Modern Military Poetry
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Theater Institute, Russian Federation, Kuznetsov Ilya
Published: October 2023

The subject of the article is modern Russian poetry based on military themes. This poetry was not previously considered as an artistic system. It began to develop extremely intensively in 2022 in connection with the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine. Such poetry existed throughout the eight years of the war in the Donbas, but now it has manifested itself as an established thematic community, with signs of a current, and has attracted considerable public attention. At the end of 2022, the publishing house "Peter" released the anthology "Resurrected in the Third World", in which this community is presented comprehensively. The anthology brought together poets belonging to different generations, as well as in some cases adhering to different aesthetic principles. However, their lyrics, presented in the anthology, have ideological unity and reveal common stylistic features. Comparative-historical, as well as phenomenological and hermeneutic methods were used to identify these features. Their application allowed us to formulate a number of observations that appear as the results of the study. These observations are as follows. Modern military lyrics have a number of features that distinguished the art of Russian Art Nouveau. First of all, it is logocentrism, the belief in the substantiality of the word and its ability to change (in the language of modernity – "transform") reality. Hence, it is a belief in the theurgic potential of poetry. This is eschatology and apocalypticism, specifically characteristic of the Russian consciousness and clearly manifested in the literature of the Silver Age. This is a fundamental religiosity combined with neo-mythologism. This is a pronounced idea of nationality, a sense of the Russian world as God's people, and in the extreme case, as a divine people. This is the actualization of the idea of life-building. Two conclusions follow from the observations made. First: military poetry, including the lyrics of military commanders, today represents one semantic whole, in fact, a formed current. Second: the above-mentioned properties of military poetry allow us to believe that at present the postmodern crisis is being overcome by Russian literature, and it is restoring its modernist identity, which was undermined in the 1960s.
Creando espacios: nociones de educación artística para la justicia social en profesores de artes visuales y música en Chile
Authors: López-Barraza Andrea
Published: October 2023

Este estudio cualitativo exploró las nociones de Arte para la Justicia Social en profesores de Artes Visuales y Música de cinco escuelasde diferentes contextos socioeconómicos en Chile. El objetivo fue identificar discursos y prácticas que mostraran una comprensión del arte como herramienta para la crítica y la transformación de la sociedad, así como otras nociones (expresionista, cognitiva/logocéntrica, pragmática, cultural, etc.) presentes en los profesores. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas y se utilizó el software NVivo 12 para analizar los datos, codificando las nociones de arte que aparecen en los profesores, utilizando herramientas del Análisis Crítico del Discurso, que considera el discurso como un lugar de lucha y manifestación de la ideología. Aparecieron diferentes nociones de arte en los profesores, con algunas facetas del arte como herramienta de justicia social, así como el reconocimiento de formas contemporáneas de arte. Obstáculos para la implementación de la educación artística en las escuelas fueron identificados por los profesores, como el poco espacio y recursos para las artes en un contexto de rendición de cuentas y pruebas estandarizadas; la vulnerabilidad socioeconómica que hacía del arte un lenguaje lejano para los estudiantes y el temor a presentar temas controversiales en un contexto institucional conservador. En Chile, esta constituye una exploración oportuna, ya que el plan de fortalecimiento de la educación artística programado desde 2015, no se ha implementado, reduciéndose el número de horas de educación artística. Las nociones de los profesores sobre el arte, en un contexto que tiende a reducirlas o excluirlas, resulta crucial.

VOLUNTARIADO SENIOR EN PANDEMIA: IMPACTO EN LA PARTICIPACIÓN SOCIAL DE LAS PERSONAS MAYORES
Authors: Domínguez-Párraga Lidia G
Published: October 2023

En el envejecimiento exitoso, las relaciones sociales de los mayores son esenciales, al igual que el sentimiento utilidad. El voluntariado senior aúna estas cualidades en una sola actividad relacionándose directamente con el bienestar emocional, psicológico y físico de las personas mayores.
La pandemia mundial de COVID-19 ha afectado ampliamente a todos los sectores de la sociedad actual. Esta investigación indaga en las consecuencias que la pandemia ha tenido en la vida de voluntariado sénior, ya que esta cohorte demográfica se ha visto doblemente afectada.
La metodología utilizada en esta investigación fue cualitativa. Se realizaron dos grupos focales, con siete participantes cada uno, procedentes de diferentes organizaciones de voluntariado de toda Extremadura, utilizando la plataforma ZOOM.
El análisis de los datos muestra cómo el voluntariado sénior, así como los beneficiarios han sufrido y continúan sufriendo, los efectos de la pandemia. Se han visto obligados a adaptarse a las nuevas normativas y situaciones, lo que ha repercutido en sus actividades y, probablemente, también en su bienestar físico y emocional.
Teacher's reflections on their knowledge and practice of teaching high school functions
Authors: Aparicio-Landa Eddie , Sosa-Moguel Landy , Ávila-Vales Eric , Morales-Carballo Armando
Published: October 2023

We report a characterization of the reflections made by high school mathematics teachers when discussing their resolutions of three numerical tasks related to the concept of function understood as a mathematical procept. Thematic analysis was used to code and categorize the reflections. Six teachers with at least 5 years of professional experience and an average age of 30 years participated. The results show that the teachers reflected on their actions in the tasks; their content knowledge; their teaching practice; and their professional training. As a result of these reflections, they recognized the need to improve their knowledge and practice of teaching functions in a more proceptual sense. The results contribute to deepen in how to make teachers reflect and incorporate a much more structural vision of functions in their teaching practices and, at the same time, incorporate the importance and role of their professional training in their reflections.
Equitably Undeterred? Persistence of Education Mobility and Migration Intent among Upper Secondary Education Students throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Matković Teo , Gregurović Margareta , Šabić Josip
Published: October 2023

This paper aims to explore the effects of the pandemic on future mobility aspirations, as COVID-19 pandemic induced disruptions in overall educational experience and international mobility. The authors assess whether the hardship caused by the pandemic has affected Croatian upper secondary school students’ international migration intent and aspirations for studying abroad. To that cause, authors combine three large-scale nationally representative studies conducted in the pre-pandemic (2017), pandemic (2021) and late-pandemic (2022) period. The results indicate that the number of days school spent in remote learning proved modestly associated with lower intent to migrate or to study abroad in 2021. However, contrary to expectations drawn from literature, the prevalence of intent of moving abroad remained persistent compared to pre-pandemic, while aspirations for studying abroad increased. The expected moderation effects of students’ socio-economic background on migration intent during the pandemic and school closure, failed to materialize, except for migration intent in 2021, when having tertiary-educated parents proved more advantageous. In line with recent Eurobarometer surveys, our analysis imply little evidence of long-term devaluation of mobility capital among Croatian upper secondary students, as the moderators throttling mobility aspirations have likely receded.
F. M. Dostoevsky and J.-L. Marion: Memory in the Light of the Concept of Conversio
Authors:   North-West institute of management, Russian academy of national economy and public administration, Siundiukov N.K.
Published: October 2023

This article attempts to apply the concepts of “conversion” and “memoria” to Dostoevsky's poetics and, in particular, to his use of the “sudden memory” technique. These concepts are adopted from the analysis of the “Confession” of St. Augustine, conducted by the Catholic theologian and phenomenologist Jean-Luc Marion. It is revealed that Augustine's “conversion” should be understood in two senses: institutionally, as an entry into the Church, and phenomenologically, as a turn to the Church. It is indicated that the first meaning presupposes rootedness in tradition and psychological integrity, while the second meaning presupposes psychological duality and the experience of loss of identity. It is the phenomenological meaning that is relevant for Dostoevsky's prose: the author substantiates that it was conceptualized by Bakhtin in the concept of a “threshold situation”. In view of this, the use of phenomenological methods to clarify the path of remembrance in Dostoevsky's works is argued. With the involvement of historical-literary works and the use of philosophical methods, the key concept of Dostoevsky's poetics “suddenly” is analyzed. It is proved, firstly, that the obsessive break in the narrative, which is designated by the writer by the specified concept of “suddenly”, precedes the transformation of the personality of the characters, the “change of mind” they experience; secondly, that although the “threshold situation” and the possibility of “change of mind” are available to every hero of Dostoevsky, not all of them come to the possibility of genuine conversion, that is, to entering the Church. The author comes to the conclusion that the gap between the two stages of “conversion” is due to 1) the tradition in which this or that hero exists and 2) his own capabilities of remembrance.

Published: October 2023

Vergi gelirleri ve enflasyon kavramları arasında ilişki olup olmadığı, literatürde tartışılan konular arasındadır. Bu çalışmada, bu iki kavram arasındaki ilişkinin ne yönde olduğu ve Türkiye’de elde edilen vergi gelirlerinde, diğer sosyo-ekonomik faktörlerin dışında, enflasyonun payı olup olmadığı araştırılmaktadır. Bu nedenle vergi gelirleri ile enflasyon arasındaki ilişki 2003:1-2016:10 dönemi Türkiye ekonomisine ait aylık veriler kullanılarak Vector Auto Regressive (VAR) analizleriyle incelenmiştir. Çalışmada uzun dönem ilişkinin araştırılması için Johansen eşbütünleşme testi, kısa dönem ilişkinin araştırılması için hata düzeltme modeli kullanılmıştır. VAR modelleri ile yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre iki değişken arasındaki etkileşim istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve önemli düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiş olup, vergi gelirleri ile enflasyon arasında negatif bir ilişki olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Granger Nedensellik Testi sonuçlarına göre ise enflasyondan vergi gelirlerine doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmuştur..
Motivation and Subjective Meaning of Participation in Sexting in Minor Girls
Authors: Borisenko E.V. , Dozortseva E.G.
Published: October 2023

In Russia, the number of sexual crimes against minors committed using the Internet is increasing. One way to obtain pornographic products depicting children and teenagers is sexting. To prevent the involvement of minors in such activities, it is important to know their motivation and understanding of their own participation in sexting. In a qualitative study of a complete sample of 27 girls aged 12 to 18 who were victims of molestation, the main motivational and semantic characteristics related to their sexualized activities on the Internet were considered. Three groups have been identified that differ in the motivational orientation of interactions: those who are actively interested in sexual topics and willingly engage in risky interactions without the formation of interpersonal relationships; focused on communication and friendships; seeking to form and develop romantic relationships. The typical features of girls of each group and the nature of their actual emotional response are described. It is proposed to take into account these characteristics in preventive programs.

Authors: Vlasova N.V. , Buslaeva E.L.
Published: October 2023

The following research analyses the results of the empirical study conducted among adolescents showing high levels of cyberbullying and their peers prone to cyber victimization. The theoretical basis for the purpose of the following research is represented by the modern studies and their conflicting profiling of the personality features specific for adolescents prone to bullying as well as victimization in cyberspace. The case study is represented by a group of eighth and ninth grade students studying in Moscow schools, the respondents were divided into three groups: those showing high levels of cyberbullying (N=29), those showing distinct cyber victim behavior (N=34), and those showing standard behavior in this area (N=30). The research is based on the following studies and methodologies: Multifactorial personality questionnaire (14 PF) by R.B. Cattell, «Level of subjective control» test by V.F. Bazhin, E.A. Golynkina, A.M. Atkind and test by A.V. Zverkov, E.V. Eydman’s "Study of voluntary self-regulation". The research has identified similar features specific for adolescents showing clear signs of cyberbullying as well as cyber victim behavior: low levels of emotional stability and self-control, external locus of control, reduced levels of internality in interpersonal relationships. The research also identifies specific personality features distinct for each group. The data collected in this study can be applied when developing programs to prevent cyberbullying among adolescents.

Authors: Dvoryanchikov N.V. , Bovin B.G. , Melnikova D.V. , Belova E.D. , Bovina I.B.
Published: October 2023

Based on M. Hogg’s uncertainty-identity theory, a radicalisation risk assessment model was formulated. The aim of the presented study was to test the model for assessing the risk of radicalisation in adolescents and young people. A total of 580 adolescents and young people aged from 14 to 27 years (M=17.32, SD=1.66) took part in the study; 392 respondents were female, 7 respondents did not indicate their gender. The main method of the study was a survey in the form of a questionnaire. The risk assessment model got partial empirical support. For further validation of the model it was proposed to implement the following steps: 1) to identify the particularities of social identities in a subsample of schoolchildren; 2) to analyse the characteristics of the groups with which schoolchildren and students identify themselves; 3) based on the results of the most recent studies, it is proposed to use the method of social identity mapping, which demonstrates its advantages over traditional ways of measuring social identity.

Published: October 2023

resumen¿Porque grupos como las FARC firmaron un acuerdo de paz, mientras otros grupos como el ELN se niegan a hacerlo? La respuesta a este interrogante está ligada al concepto de punto de inflexión, que es el momento crucial en el que los acontecimientos giran hacia su resultado final. National Security Research Division (RAND) ha determinado indicadores comunes a los puntos de inflexión de ochenta y nueve conflictos contrainsurgentes, con el fin de promover e identificar la llegada de esta fase final del conflicto. Este trabajo presenta una metodología de análisis cualitativo basada en estos indicadores de debilitamiento de la insurgencia, que sugieren los posibles resultados de los conflictos contrainsurgentes. Estos indicadores se relacionan con la dinámica del conflicto colombiano, lo que permite validar determinadas condiciones estratégicas que posibilitaron la salida negociada al conflicto con las FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia). Las conclusiones incluyen ocho indicadores presentes en el curso del conflicto sin los cuales no hubiese sido posible el acuerdo de paz en el resultado tipo II: Gobierno Gana. El estudio propone criterios de evaluación y gestión del conflicto.
AMENAZA ROJA
Authors: Acevedo-Tarazona Álvaro , Villabona-Ardila Juliana
Published: October 2023

Paralelo a las transformaciones políticas y culturales a nivel mundial en los años veinte, se inició en Colombia, en este mismo decenio, un ambiente de polarización política, la cual tuvo un nuevo ingrediente en la renovada disputa entre los partidos tradicionales: el pánico rojo. El pánico rojo fue una estrategia de permanente campaña de desinformación que los diarios locales y nacionales llevaron a cabo con claros intereses políticos. El propósito de este artículo es analizar este temor al comunismo en el contexto de la confrontación política en las décadas de 1930-1940 en Santander. Esto permitirá reconocer qué grupos, y desde qué publicaciones periódicas, se asumieron como grupos de izquierda. Además, se busca identificar quiénes fueron tachados de comunistas y cómo se utilizó esta arma discursiva a partir del miedo, para polarizar aún más la política y exacerbar la violencia. Para llevar a cabo este análisis, se examinarán tres publicaciones periódicas de diferentes espectros políticos: "El Deber", "Vanguardia Liberal" y "Tribuna Liberal". Se prestará especial atención al uso cambiante que estos diarios hicieron del anticomunismo en diferentes coyunturas políticas.
Gestión de Recursos Humanos en la Gig Economy: ¿hacia una nueva configuración?
Authors: Bedoya-Dorado Cristian , Peláez-León Juan David
Published: October 2023

El contexto de la Gig Economy supone una ruptura de la relación laboral estándar entre empleados y empleador, y un cuestionamiento sobre la función de la gestión de Recursos Humano (RR.HH.) encargada de gestionar dicho vínculo. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la función y configuración de la gestión de RR.HH. en el contexto de la Gig Economy. Desde el enfoque configuracional contingente se argumenta el modo en el que las prácticas de RR.HH. se combinan y configuran para aportar al desempeño y gestionar el relacionamiento con los individuos que participan de esta economía. Se encuentra que la relación laboral entre las empresas y los trabajadores gig se caracteriza por ser transaccional y simbiótica basada en la premisa utilitaria del beneficio mutuo. Por ello, para este contexto predominaría una configuración de RR.HH. orientada hacia el mercado o en maximizar la productividad, y al cumplimiento de acuerdos.
econometric study of the number of undernourished people in Colombia from 2000 to 2021
Authors: Cancino Susan Elsa , Cancino-Escalante Giovanni Orlando
Published: October 2023

The importance of food (in)security has been one of the United Nations Sustainable Development’s main goals. Over 828 million people worldwide cannot acquire enough food to meet the minimum daily dietary energy requirements (undernourished). Therefore, the present study examines the factors that affect the number of undernourished people in Colombia by assessing macroeconomic data for the period 2000-2021 including gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, unemployment, and inflation rates. A quantitative, empirical, correlation design was used to examine and describe the relationship among the variables. The findings showed that the proposed variables presented the correct signs, were statistically significant, and were in line with the economic theory. Thus, the study concluded that although income shocks brought on by inflation and unemployment undoubtedly impact household food (in)security, other factors must also be considered for policy and practice to effectively reduce food insecurity for households.
Violencia urbana, “limpieza social” y conflicto armado en Caldas, 1980-2006
Authors: Cruz Julio
Published: October 2023

Se abordan las formas de violencia que afectan los contextos urbanos, generalmente conocidas como “limpieza social”, en el departamento de Caldas entre 1980 y 2006. Dichas formas de violencia se analizarán junto con el crecimiento de los grupos armados ilegales que hicieron presencia en el mencionado departamento en el periodo de tiempo señalado, con especial énfasis en el paramilitarismo. El objetivo es evidenciar las estrategias discursivas que se aplican por parte de sectores poderosos para estigmatizar ciertas prácticas y actores sociales, principalmente a través de los medios de comunicación, para lo cual se apeló al Análisis Crítico del Discurso, aplicado a los enunciados referentes al fenómeno en cuestión, y se siguieron las tesis de Foucault en lo referente a los dispositivos de normalización y la discriminación entre lo normal y lo anormal en la dinámica de las relaciones de poder. También se asume la perspectiva moral que se halla en la base de la “limpieza social” y se postulan las razones de su persistencia.

Experimental evaluation of the effect of leakage in scroll compressor
Authors: SHIKALGAR Niyaj Dilavar , SAPALI Shivalingappa Nagappa
Published: October 2023

This research gives an experimental investigation of the scroll compressor, with an emphasis on the effect of leakage on performance enhancement. The effect of gas leakage losses on com-pressor performance is studied both experimentally and conceptually. In the present study, we have modified the scroll compressor to bypass the refrigerant through an orifice called leakage and experimentally investigate the effect of valve opening area and angle to observe the effect of leak gas on compressor performance, compressor capacity loss, discharge line temperature rise, and discharge gas temperature. Experimental results indicated that the maximum per-centage rise in suction superheat is observed to be 7.13% at a maximum effective valve open-ing area of 0.33 m2, whereas the rise in discharge line temperature lies in the range of 0.8% to 2.75% over the entire range of effective leak area. In addition, based on experimentation the 8.9 % maximum compressor capacity loss is observed.
La educación superior en tiempos de pandemia
Authors: Vílchez Choquehuayta Gissela
Published: October 2023

En el Perú, el 16 de marzo de 2020, inició la cuarentena y, con ella, el cierre temporal de las universidades. Ante ello, las instituciones de educación superior cambiaron sus cursos presenciales a la modalidad remota. Esta estrategia aseguró la continuidad de los estudios, pero también evidenció las carencias digitales, lo que ocasionó malestar emocional en muchos universitarios. En este sentido, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo describir las emociones de los estudiantes en el contexto de la pandemia provocada por la COVID – 19. Además, se busca describir variables relacionadas con estas emociones (conectividad, soporte social y situación económica). El abordaje es cuantitativo, no experimental, exploratorio y descriptivo. Los participantes fueron 218 estudiantes universitarios de una institución pública; la muestra fue por conveniencia, considerando la accesibilidad. Los datos sobre las variables conectividad y emociones se recogieron durante el segundo semestre de estudios del año 2020 a través de un cuestionario en línea. Los principales resultados indican que el acceso al internet está relacionado con las garantías económicas, que, a la vez, es una de las principales preocupaciones de los estudiantes. Asimismo, se evidenció que la tensión es una emoción constante que aparece en los estudiantes por la adaptación a la nueva modalidad educativa, mientras que la frustración aparece con más frecuencia entre quienes no tienen acceso a dispositivos electrónicos ni conectividad. Por tanto, para garantizar una educación de calidad y disminuir las brechas educativas, se precisa facilitar el acceso a recursos tecnológicos e internet a los estudiantes. Esto, a la vez, contribuye a generar mayor bienestar emocional.
¿Por qué el Código Civil ecuatoriano equipara la culpa grave y el dolo?
Authors: Jácome Aguirre Gabriela , Pérez Rosales Daniela , Arguello Almeida Ailyn
Published: October 2023

El Código Civil ecuatoriano equipara la culpa grave y el dolo. Sin embargo, la equiparación de dichas categorías se encuentra en el marco de responsabilidad civil contractual y extracontractual, las cuales responden a problemáticas probatorias, procesales y de reparación a la víctima. Existen varios doctrinarios que sostienen una tesis a favor de la equiparación de estos conceptos. Por otro lado, hay quienes sostienen lo contrario o que incluso alegan su ineficacia en el derecho de daños. De todas formas, este ensayo se enfoca en que dicha equiparación es un absurdo, puesto que el régimen de responsabilidad de daños no basa la indemnización del daño en un análisis del grado de culpabilidad. Esta rama del derecho enfoca su atención sobre la magnitud del daño, mas no en la voluntad o finalidad del sujeto activo. En ese sentido, el análisis se realiza con base en su funcionalidad práctica, la verdadera intención de la equiparación de estos conceptos y su relevancia. Además, se busca comparar el sistema ecuatoriano con estándares que el common law y varias jurisdicciones allegadas han planteado sobre el tema.
La aplicación de la flexibilidad en el arbitraje ecuatoriano: ¿continuamos con la ritualización del proceso o hemos avanzado?
Authors: Endara Bastidas Daniela
Published: October 2023

Este trabajo busca responder la interrogante sobre cómo se aplica actualmente el principio de flexibilidad en el arbitraje local ecuatoriano. Para ello, primero se brinda una perspectiva de cómo ha sido abordado este tema a lo largo de los años. Posteriormente, se realiza una breve descripción respecto del principio. Esto con la finalidad de avanzar hacia un análisis de los límites que establece la normativa de arbitraje ecuatoriana y la cultura arbitral del país para la aplicación del principio de flexibilidad. Después se observan los avances en este tema en los últimos años. Finalmente se contesta la pregunta inicial indicando que se ha avanzado en una debida aplicación del principio de flexibilidad en el arbitraje ecuatoriano. Sin embargo, se plantea que todavía hay trabajo por hacer.
Dispute boards en América Latina: resolución de controversias de infraestructura
Authors: Gómez Moreno Juan Pablo
Published: October 2023

Los proyectos de infraestructura son esenciales para el desarrollo de las sociedades, ya que tienen un impacto directo en el acceso a varios derechos básicos como la libre locomoción, la salud pública, el acceso al agua y a la electricidad. La construcción es una industria clave para la ejecución de estos proyectos, pero su complejidad a menudo genera desacuerdos entre los actores principales, lo que puede resultar en altos índices de litigiosidad y costos en tiempo y dinero. Por esta razón, los métodos alternativos de solución de controversias han ganado importancia en la región. Entre ellos, las mesas de solución de conflictos se han destacado como una alternativa exitosa. Sin embargo, su implementación en América Latina ha sido lenta y hay desafíos que deben abordarse para mejorar su eficacia.
Este artículo examina las características de las dispute boards y destaca sus beneficios en la gestión de conflictos en proyectos de infraestructura. También se analizan los factores críticos y los desafíos para su implementación en la región. Finalmente, se proponen algunas prácticas para mejorar la aplicación de estos instrumentos en América Latina, haciendo hincapié en que requieren de un mayor compromiso de actores clave, como las agencias reguladoras, para implementarlas y mejorar su eficiencia.
Sobre la naturaleza de la indivisibilidad de una obligación: ¿realmente es posible dividir una prestación?
Authors: Martínez Almeida Álvaro
Published: October 2023

Ambicioso. Aventurado. Quizás, incluso, poco aceptado. Este artículo pretende rescatar una discusión que, a criterio del autor, no está del todo superada. Dicho criterio parte de la premisa de que el análisis de indivisibilidad de una obligación versa sobre la cosa, no sobre la prestación. Para ello, es necesario realizar un examen del origen histórico de esta figura. En tal contexto, y a la luz del ordenamiento ecuatoriano actual, cabe cuestionarse si es posible divi- dir la prestación, objeto de una obligación. Este artículo sostiene la tesis de que el objeto de una obligación es, por naturaleza, indivisible, sin perjuicio de que una misma obligación pueda contener varias prestaciones distintas que versen sobre la misma cosa. Lejos de ser una discusión meramente teórica, adoptar esta postura implica serias consecuencias prácticas. Entre ellas, incluso la existencia misma de cierto tipo de obligaciones sería cuestionable.
Erken Tunç Çağı'nda Batı Anadolu ve Ticaret
Authors: KAMA Eda
Published: October 2023

Neolitik devrim ile insanlık hayatına giren tarım, yerleşik hayat ve yaşam tarzlarındaki yeniliklerin temelinin atılması, Kalkolitik ve özellikle Erken Tunç Çağı’nda gelişkin yerleşimlerin ve hatta bazı bölgelerde büyük devletlerin oluşmasını sağlamıştır. İnsanlık hayatının bu denli farklılaşması ile yerleşimlerin değiştiğini, tapınak ve idari binaların ortaya çıktığını söylemek mümkündür. Bu dönemde metalürji ve el sanatlarında ustalaşma daha da artar, prestij nesneleri ortaya çıkar ve böylelikle sosyal statü farkının oluştuğunu söyleyebiliriz. Yerleşimlerin büyümesi, ailelerin nüfus sayısının artmasıyla birlikte organizasyon ve artı besin ihtiyacının ortaya çıkması depolama, bununla birlikte ticaretin de gelişmesine neden olmuştur. Bu yenilikler önceki dönemlerde de yapıldığı bilinen ticaretin daha uzun yol katedilerek genişlediği hatta Kral ve Kervan yolları gibi yolların ortaya çıktığı düşünülmektedir. Sosyal, dinsel ve teknolojik gelişim bu dönemde öne çıkmaktadır. “Erken Tunç Çağ’ında Batı Anadolu ve Ticaret” konulu bu çalışmada yukarıda bahsedilen konular kapsamında Batı Anadolu’nun bu dönemdeki gelişiminden bahsedilecektir. Bu çalışma özellikle kazı ekibinde olduğum İzmir ili, Bornova ilçesi içerisinde bulunan Yeşilova Höyüğü’ne bağlı kazı yeri Tunç Çağı yerleşimi Yassıtepe Höyüğü ve diğer Batı Anadolu yerleşimleri ile benzerlik ve farklılıkların görülebilmesi ve ticaretin izlenebilmesi açısından yardımcı olabilecek bir çalışma olacaktır.
Tarihöncesi Dönemde Sayı Taşları
Authors: YEŞİLBAŞ Doğa
Published: October 2023

Neolitik Dönem buluntularından biri olan “Sayı taşları”, oldukça uzun bir zamandır arkeoloji literatüründe gerek işlev gerekse tanımı açısından tartışmalı bir buluntu grubu olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Söz konusu buluntular yaklaşık olarak Neolitik Dönem’de MÖ 10 binlerden Asur Devleti’nde MÖ. 1. binyıla kadar oldukça uzun bir süre boyunca kullanım görmüş ve ilk olarak Bereketli Hilal bölgesi olmak üzere, çok sayıda yerleşimde tespit edilmiştir. Kilden yapılmış bu küçük boyutlu nesneler, birçok farklı biçimde, bezemeli / bezemesiz hazırlanmıştır. Sayı taşları bu denli sık görülmesine rağmen literatürde sınırlı sayıda yayın ve öneri mevcuttur. Yakındoğu, Anadolu ve Balkanlara kadar uzanan geniş bir coğrafi alanda tespit edilmiştir. Batı Anadolu coğrafyasında da farklı yönlerden değerlendirilebilecek Neolitik Dönem’e ait kil “sayı taşları” ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Tarih Öncesi Dönemde Sayı Taşları başlıklı bu makalede, söz konusu buluntu grubunun işlevlerine dair arkeolojik veriler sunulacaktır. Buna ek olarak tipoloji ve yayılım alanlarına değinilecektir ve halihazırda literatürde üzerine birçok tartışmanın mevcut olduğu buluntu grubu güncel veriler ve güncel yöntemler üzerinden tekrar değerlendirilecektir. Neolitik Dönem’den itibaren sıkça görülen bu buluntuların tanımı ve işlevine yönelik literatürde yer alan öneriler ve var olan problemler üzerinde durulacaktır.

The purpose of the review article is to provide the methodological component of pedagogical and psychological disciplines, including physical education, with a specific model of activity, as well as the opportunity to implement a new educational technology as a separate discipline of advanced training courses or retraining programs. The pedagogical components that systematically reflect the essence of educational technology are presented: the goals and content of training, means and methods of pedagogical interaction, learning tools, stages of technology implementation. The main method underlying the described technology is a conversation (with a subsequent semantic system-specific analysis of the products of students’ learning activities with an emphasis on the content aspect of learning). Mastering by students, undergraduates, postgraduates, students of advanced training courses or retraining courses involves further extended and in-depth study of each analyzed section, creative development of certification tasks for students, tasks for independent work, tests. The study solved the following tasks: 1) the didactic substantiation of the concepts of “healthy worldview”, “life potential” is given; 2) an algorithm for organizing the educational process has been developed. The meaning and content of a healthy deep worldview formed with the help of transdisciplinary educational technology, which multiplies life potential every second, includes, in addition to the didactic component, an obligatory and closely related educational component: the unconditional priority of love in the subconscious over any aggressive character traits and over any other components of a person’s personality. With this ratio, the volume of vital energy is sufficient for a full life, for development, for future childbearing function, for the normal spiritual, moral, mental and physical development of the child at all stages of its ontogenesis, including the realization of the subsequent childbearing function of offspring from generation to generation. This is how the information-diagnosing (measuring the level of development of life potential), organizational-developmental, activity- heuristic (discovery, science) and spiritual-moral-humanitarian components of the mastered technology are implemented. The successful implementation and long-term development of the technology will be facilitated by medical, psychological and pedagogical collaboration in the field of education.
