Authors: Macaya Ruiz Albert , Cañabate Ortiz Dolors
Published: July 2022

La educación para el compromiso social es sin duda un factor esencial para una sociedad deliberativa y democrática. Las aportaciones de la pedagogía y las ciencias sociales a tal cometido son conocidas y objeto de un amplio y rico debate. Sin embargo, también las artes cuentan con un enorme potencial frete al reto de educar para el compromiso. En este artículo analizaremos las aportaciones del arte a la idea de compromiso en la cultura contemporánea. Aportaciones que tienen hoy un amplio eco en la creatividad visual anónima que se difunde en las redes, y que es enormemente popular entre los más jóvenes. Como consecuencia, consideraremos las propuestas recientes de educación artística orientada hacia el contenido social y/o activista y recapitularemos algunas de las demandas que estos nuevos posicionamientos proyectan sobre la formación del profesorado. En la última parte de este texto, daremos cuenta de una investigación sobre un caso de estudio en el contexto de la formación inicial de los maestros en que tratamos de sopesar el sentido y alcance que tuvo para los participantes la realización de una experiencia de educación artística orientada al compromiso social. Constatamos que utilizaron de forma efectiva las artes como vehículo para la indagación y la consciencia social, superando concepciones inerciales de la educación artística, y que relacionaron la experiencia con aspectos relevantes de la formación docente
Celebrar la identidad: enseñanza de la historia y conmemoraciones en Educación Primaria
Authors: Toro-Pérez Jose Jaime , Parra Monserrat David
Published: July 2022

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar qué tipo de ciudadanía e identidades colectivas genera la escuela a través del tratamiento educativo de aspectos histórico-culturales. Para ello, no sólo se atiende a los contenidos trabajados en las clases de modo ordinario, sino también a prácticas que, como las festividades escolares, contribuyen de igual modo a la socialización en una cultura y unos valores comunes. En este sentido, la investigación se centra en el tratamiento de la Edad Media (especialmente de la conquista cristiana) y sus usos identitarios en escuelas valencianas a partir de un análisis estructurado en distintos niveles: el marco curricular, los libros de texto, la práctica cotidiana en el aula y, particularmente para el caso que nos ocupa, la celebración escolar, cada 9 de octubre, de la conquista de Valencia, hecho que ha dado lugar al Día de la Comunidad Valenciana. Para ello, el estudio se plantea desde un enfoque cualitativo y comparativo, ya que se recogen datos de dos marcos normativos diferentes (LOE y LOMCE) con el objetivo de rastrear cambios y continuidades. Así, en primer lugar, se examinan los contenidos y criterios de evaluación de historia establecidos para 5º de Primaria -curso en el que se trabaja la Edad Media- y su concreción en los manuales más utilizados. En segundo lugar, para acceder a las prácticas concretas de aula y a los aprendizajes del alumnado, se analizan 90 cuestionarios repartidos a docentes en activo de 68 centros y 65 narrativas elaboradas por niños/as de 5º curso. Los resultados apuntan a un tratamiento mayoritariamente banalizado e irreflexivo de dichos contenidos, a la pervivencia de discursos identitarios tradicionales y a una educación pobre en competencias históricas y ciudadanas.
Falta de consenso e inestabilidad educativa en España
Authors: Novella García Carlos , Cloquell Lozano Alexis
Published: July 2022

INTRODUCCIÓNLa evolución del sistema educativo español en el cual se han aprobado legislaciones sucesivas y contrapuestas viene determinado por la carencia de un gran pacto educativo. En este sentido, la estabilidad de un sistema educativo se hace deseable porque ofrece mayores garantías en relación con su eficiencia y estrategia a largo plazo. Sin embargo, requiere de acuerdo político y social acerca de las principales directrices de la política educativa. En este artículo analizamos qué ha supuesto el pacto educativo y su relación con la estabilidad haciendo mención a la tramitación de la LOMLOE. METODOLOGÍAPara ello, hemos empleado una metodología de tipo cualitativa que, desde la hermenéutica crítica RESULTADOSnos ha permitido revisar y analizar cómo, pese a los distintos intentos formulados que ha habido en el ámbito de la política educativa en España a lo largo de toda su trayectoria, no se ha materializado dicho acuerdo. DISCUSIÓNLas razones que explican la dificultad para conseguir un acuerdo social y político acerca de las líneas maestras de la política educativa vienen explicadas por el contexto histórico y la cuestión ideológica partidista de los grupos parlamentarios.
Sezai Karakoç’un Medeniyet Görüşü Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Karadeniz Felemez
Published: July 2022

Civilization means world view in general. From the existence of humanity to the present, civilization has maintained its importance; from time to time, it makes sense to unite people, and sometimes to separate people. The concept of civilization has been mentioned by independent writers in different time periods. Some writers put forward individual civilization, some writers based on dual civilization (technical civilization) and some writers based on plural civilization and revealed different opinions on the mentioned subjects. In this article, we will evaluate Sezai Karakoc’s ideas related to civilization in the light of his own works and the ideas of different authors. While evaluating Sezai Karakoc’s view of civilization, we cannot make an assessment without mentioning the ai Resurrection değerlendirme thought referred to by Sezai Karakoc. The reason for this is that the city of Resurrection is the capital city of Civilization. The color of the land of this civilization city we mentioned has changed its color in history, but it has not lost its essence. Keywords: Islāmic history, Sezai Karakoc, civilization, East, West, Islāmic civilization.
Government communication and online engagement during “the summer of Zika”: Examining content and social media metrics of posts addressing the Aedes aegypti mosquito
Authors: Miola Edna , Marques Francisco Paulo Jamil
Published: July 2022

Over the last few years, health communication has become central in an environment characterized by disinformation and a pandemic. This paper investigates how official institutions have used social media to communicate about health issues and the effects of government-sponsored content on online engagement. Considering the need for a perspective that takes us beyond case studies from the United States and Europe, we examine the Brazilian Ministry of Health Facebook page during the Zika outbreak in 2016. Our research questions are: How does the Brazilian Ministry of Health use Facebook to communicate about Aedes aegypti? To what extent have the communication campaigns been used to promote the image of political actors and institutions? How do the Ministry’s communication strategies on Facebook affect users’ engagement with the content about Aedes aegypti? Using quantitative and qualitative methods, we combine content analysis and social media metrics to study posts addressing the Aedes aegyptimosquito. We discovered that publications recurrently adopted a preventive approach. However, posts focused on addressing diseases were those leading to higher user engagement. The data also indicated that emphasizing attributes favorable to government officials negatively affected user engagement, reducing the effectiveness and reach of the Ministry’s messages. This research allowed us to grasp the diversity of emerging practices in online government communication. It will potentially help policy-makers, communication managers, and scholars utilize the most effective communication strategies during health crises.
Kittens and Jesus: What would remain in a newsless Facebook?
Authors: Roy Jean-Hugues
Published: July 2022

This paper examines what would remain on Facebook if news content was removed, like the company temporarily did in Australia, in February 2021. Using a corpus of 3.3 million Facebook posts published in French in 2020 in four countries (Belgium, Canada, France and Switzerland), it compares media content to non-media content by submitting the text of the posts to three computational analyses: basic n-gram comparison, χ2 residuals and topic modeling. Two distinct spheres are defined within Facebook content: a “public interest” sphere, made up of media pages, and a “public’s interest” sphere, made up of non-media pages. Religious content and “inspirational” “feel good memes” were found to be most characteristic of a newsless Facebook.

Authors: Sheikh Muhammad Ramzan , Farooq Fatima , Ali Hina , Khalid Sana
Published: July 2022

Women play a significant role in agriculture as they assume various activities in agriculture such as cleaning of fields, fields preparation, sowing, weeding, harvesting, picking, cleaning of grains, drying of grains etc. but, unfortunately, they remain invisible workers. Their participation as decision-makers concerning these activities is also uncertain. This study is an economic analysis of women’s time allocation in agricultural activities in tehsil Mian Channu, Pakistan. A questionnaire is used to collect data from a random sample of 250 female respondents. The study points out the active participation of females in agriculture activities. Age of the woman and education of woman has a negative sign in crop production activities.  Age of the woman and education of woman exhibit a positive association with women time allocation in non-crop production activities. Dependency Burdenis positively related to women participation in both crop production activities and non-crop production activities. The results also reveal that the number of adult males in a household is negatively related to woman’s time allocation and a tenant woman allocates more time to crop production activities than non-crop production activities.
Predicting Bankruptcy through Neural Network: Case of PSX Listed Companies
Authors: Iqbal Javed , Bashir Furrukh , Ahmad Rashid , Arshad Hina
Published: July 2022

The paper reconnoiters if logistic regression (LR) and neural network (NN) can estimate bankruptcy for PSX non-financial companies a year ahead of bankruptcy occurrence; particularly it endeavors to explore how exact LR and NN models are? Financial ratios were utilized forecast the bankruptcy in firms. Empirical results demonstrated that both models have capability to predict the event of bankruptcy with NN outperforming LR model. Although both models possess capability to predict bankruptcy, current research demonstrated that use of neural networks (NN) enhances the precision of prediction by being a superior approach over logistic regression method (this is based on accuracy level achieved earlier by NN over LR). These results will cover the literature gap existent in bankruptcy research in Pakistan especially about NN estimation model, proposing an advanced forecasting with precision as proven through figure 4.1.

Authors: SALTIK AYHANÖZ Gülşah , KAHRAMAN Eser , AKMEŞE Serdar
Published: July 2022

In this study, “There is Mathematics in My Nature!" which was conducted within the scope of TUBITAK 4004 Nature Education and Science Schools’ the project has been evaluated. In the project, it is aimed to carry out nature-themed activities, workshops and laboratory studies, to include knowledge and skills to be gained through new and different learning approaches, to raise awareness about mathematics in students by making them realize the relationship between different disciplines and mathematics, and to contribute to the development of students' individual creativity. In addition, it is among our aims to provide a positive change in the perspectives towards science, to provide students with a critical-artistic-inquiring perspective, to contribute to the bodily-kinesthetic development of the students, and to discover the mathematics hidden in nature and other branches of science. In addition, in this project it is aimed that the participants are actively involved in individual and group work, that their sense of curiosity is activated and that they learn by doing and experiencing. The target group of the project is 7th and 8th grade students studying in public schools in the 2020-2021 academic year. In the project, "Mathematics Attitude Scale", "Mathematics Anxiety Scale", "Affiliation to Nature Scale" and "Activity Studies Evaluation Scale" were applied to the students. In addition, in the light of the findings, it has been seen that students' learning mathematical elements intertwined with nature, by doing and experiencing, contributes to their internalization of the knowledge of mathematics and making mathematics a part of their lives. In the light of the project findings, it was observed that the participants' anxiety towards mathematics decreased, their commitment to nature and their attitudes towards mathematics changed positively. In line with the results obtained from the research, it is thought that the integration of the existing education system into the activities that the students will perform in nature by doing and living will make positive contributions to education.
A Critical Discourse Analysis of a Visual Image in Norman Fairclough’s CDA Model
Authors: DURMAZ Zekeriya , YOĞUN Mehmet Salih
Published: July 2022

Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has passed through a developmental process, and it has been benefited as a method to study explicitly media texts and talks. CDA provided scholars with a framework to discourses, the characteristics of which are inseparable components of language that influence the outcome of a conversation. In this regard, language, as a form of social practice, appears to be a significant tool of CDA. The purpose of the study is to examine a media text in an image form produced by an anti-gun ownership movement named “Moms Demand Action”. The study aimed to point out the contradictions presented on and through the selected image by referring to Fairclough’s CDA model, which is the analysis at word level, text level and norm level. This model is very useful when a researcher needs to find out what the addresser wants to convey to the addressee through a text. CDA model of Fairclough consists of three categories, and those categories are called “dimensions”. Therefore, this study examined an image in three dimensions, and it concluded contradictions at three dimensions.

Authors: Ospanov Abdymanap , Ostrikov Alexander , Vasilenko Vitaly , Timurbekova Aigul , Zhalelov Dulat
Published: July 2022

The availability of high-quality combined feed largely determines the level of economic development in animal husbandry and poultry farming since, in the structure of the cost of livestock products, feed costs reach 65 – 70%. At the same time, the authors of this article aim to compare the current situation around the feed industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan with a similar situation in the Russian Federation, as the formation of this industry in our countries has common roots. Thermomechanical processing methods are proposed to implement deep physicochemical changes in the protein-carbohydrate complex of components of combined feeds. As a result, the quality of the combined feeds improves. Starch gelatinization occurs, and starch grains transition into a more digestible form, contributing to its better assimilation. Bacterial contamination decreases, and coliform bacteria, colon bacillus, mould fungi, and salmonella are destroyed.

Языковой национализм как социокультурный феномен
Authors: Дегтярев Александр Константинович
Published: July 2022

Языковой национализм – социокультурный феномен современного общества – не исследован в научном дискурсе, так как не может быть «раскодирован» на уровне плодотворных, но специализированных социолингвистических работ, не претендующих на социально-философское понимание. В рамках представленной статьи, исходя из определения языкового национализма как ветви развития национализма в эпоху поздней современности, обосновано положение о переходе от этнического национализма к языковому с опорой на действия от «социо» к культуре –  в отличии от этнонациоанлизма, делающего язык «субстанцией» этнонационального государства. Сделан вывод о том, что языковой национализм не является безобидной версией национализма, так как на уровне маргинальных групп становится инструментом получения социальных преференций через национальный язык и может является источником напряженности в межнациональных отношениях, особенно в условиях становления многонациональных и многокультурных государств.

This paper evaluates real estate investment trust (REIT) market and reviews the financial determinants of real estate investment trusts index. To this end, the study finds an answer to the research question of whether REIT index (XGMYO) is significantly affected by inflation, USD/TL parity and interest rates. Data is retrieved from Borsa-Istanbul and Central Bank of Turkey and covers the period from 2011 and 2021 (monthly data). Findings of the quantitative analysis are as follows; XGMYO has two regimes. Deposit (Index Return) with different lags is the most effective variable in both regimes. While CPI-Inflation is statistically significant in Regime 2, it is not significant in Regime 1. Similar to inflation, housing-loans-interest rate (applicable to clients) statistically has impact on XGMYO in Regime 2, but it has no statistically significant impact on Regime 1.
CONSERVADORISMO LIBERAL, ANTIPETISMO E O DISCURSO IDEOLÓGICO DO JORNALISTA PAULO FRANCIS (1980-1990)
Authors: Nascimento Laís
Published: July 2022

The main objective of this article is to analyze the ideological discourse of journalist Paulo Francis in the national hegemonic press in the 1980s-90s. Such analysis was made possible through the methodology of Michael Freeden (1996). “Based on Reinhart Koselleck's history of concepts, it understands ideologies as structured discourses based on concepts, divided meanings they dispute with each other”. (LYNCH, 2020). In summary, this journalist's discourse can be classified either as conservative or as liberal, basically defined as a discourse against the rise of the masses to political, economic and cultural (demophobic discourse) power. This point was clear and well illustrated from the strong anti-PT content of Francis' speech, especially during the 1989 elections.

Published: July 2022

This article aims to analyze how the struggle for the foundation of a recycling association can be framed within the scope of social recognition of certain sectors of society. The recycling associations in the city of Erechim/RS are the result of a process of social struggle, with intense protagonism of pickers, carrinheiros and carrinheiras. The A4 recycling association, inaugurated in 2009, mobilized several sectors for its foundation, with emphasis on the significant presence of pickers, especially women who worked as pickers for recyclable materials. Women make up the majority in the A4 association and are primarily responsible for the functioning and maintenance of the association. Through a bibliographic review and the use of secondary data, the present study analyzes aspects about the formation of the A4 recycling association, the issue of gender and the labor market, seeks to address some of the specificities of women collectors, in order to analyze the process of constitution of the association, framed in the list of struggles for social recognition of sectors that are on marginal paths in society.
Child sexual abuse material and end-to-end encryption on social media platforms: an overview
Authors: Teunissen Coen , Napier Sarah
Published: July 2022

This paper reviewed open-source materials including electronic service provider (ESP) transparency reports to provide an overview of the contemporary problem of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) offending on ESP platforms, examine measures currently used by ESPs to detect and prevent CSAM offending, and explore the potential impact of end-to-end encryption on CSAM distribution and detection. The study found that the platforms with the highest user bases are actively detecting and removing CSAM. However, some are less transparent than others about the methods they use to prevent, detect and remove CSAM, omitting key information that is crucial for future best practice in reducing CSAM offending. Further, the adoption of end-to-end encryption by platforms that detect and remove large amounts of CSAM from their platforms will likely provide a haven for CSAM offenders. Implications for ESPs and international law reform are discussed.

The ethnobotanical study was carried out on medicinal plants used in the traditional treatment of hepatitis in Mbandaka in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its general objective was to establish a relationship between the level of education of traditional healers and their expertise in alternative medicine to treat viral hepatitis. On a floristic list of 36 plant species used in the composition of different anti-hepatitis recipes, the Fabaceae family is predominant with 5 species. Considering Citation Frequency (CF), species such as Ageratum conyzoides L., Senna alata (L.) Roxb., Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf, and Millettia laurentii De Wild. are the best known by traditional healers. The high rate of illiteracy among traditional healers (42.9%) seems to challenge the reliability of endogenous knowledge. However, since the species inventoried have proven their effectiveness in other countries, the established expertise of the traditional healers of Mbandaka in the treatment of hepatitis is confirmed. Endogenous knowledge, therefore, does not take into account the level of education.

Authors: Maleki Mohammad Javad , Majidian Hudsa , Banijamali Sara , Zakeri Mohammed
Published: July 2022

The present work aims to prepare a dense cordierite-based glass-ceramic through slip casting and consequent heat treatment procedures. In this regard, sintering conditions were considered as the key variables to improve the properties of the glass-ceramic. For this purpose, glass frit powder was prepared through melting oxide powders (in the system of SiO2-Al2O3-TiO2-K2O-CaO-MgO). The mixed powders were then heat treated at 1450 °C for 1 hour and quenched in water. The glass frit powder was slip cast using the appropriate dispersant. Sintering was carried out by one-step, two-step, and three-step procedures. Specimens were characterized in terms of various analysis techniques including dilatometry, X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and mechanical strength measurement. Among the examined specimens, the sample sintered by a three-step approach was considered the optimized one which attained zero porosity. According to the obtained results, cordierite crystals were observable in this glass-ceramic matrix. A low coefficient of thermal expansion and a low dielectric constant were observed for the optimized glass-ceramic sample. The obtained results confirmed that the homogenous distributions of crystalline phases are responsible for the appropriate and desirable properties of the prepared glass-ceramic.

Odată cu apariția noilor tehnologii și a trendului ascendent de digitalizare, sectorul financiar se remodelează, evoluează și se adaptează pentru a-și îmbunătăți eficacitatea și pentru a ține pasul cu nevoile oamenilor. Una dintre cele mai actuale tehnologii care are potențialul de a dezvolta sectorul financiar este tehnologia Blockchain. Ideea principală a acestei tehnologii este aceea că se bazează pe un registru public descentralizat, care permite efectuarea tranzacțiilor într-un mod sigur, eficient și care deține o serie de avantaje ce nu se regăsesc în sistemul bancar tradițional pe care îl cunoaștem. Blockchain și criptomonedele ar putea deveni una dintre cele mai importante inovații în sectorul financiar, capabile să dea naștere unei economii digitale, bazată pe descentralizare, datorită faptului că dețin caracteristici care optimizează și simplifică efectuarea tranzacțiilor, fără necesitatea unui intermediar, în comparație cu sistemul tradițional bancar.

Securitatea energetică și, implicit, arhitectura energetică regională, compusă din infrastructuri critice energetice (stații electrice și linii electrice aeriene, la tensiunea de 400 kV), pot suferi diferite mutații și transformări, determinate de eventuale sincope în extragerea, transportul și valorificarea resurselor energetice și a energiei, din cauza dinamismului energetic. Vulnerabilitatea acestor infrastructuri critice energetice generează o serie de riscuri și amenințări la adresa lor, periclitând astfel viața societală, creând disfuncționalități și generând daune extreme, aduse statului. Infrastructurile critice energetice devin astfel indispensabile societății, fără de care statul și mecanismele lui nu pot funcționa și asigura bunăstarea societală, iar protecția lor devine obiectiv major național și european, determinând reprezentanții statelor membre ale Uniunii Europene să ia măsuri în direcția identificării și gestionării oricărui risc sau amenințare. În fața vulnerabilităților, amenințărilor și riscurilor cu care se confruntă România în noul context geopolitic dinamic, turbulent și impredictibil, de securitate globală, regională și euroatlantică, pe fondul crizei militare și sanitare, amplificat de criza energetică mondială, manifestată prin creșterea nefondată și neașteptată a prețului energiei, statul român ar trebui să dețină o strategie de consolidare a rezilienței infrastructurilor critice energetice, bazată pe predictibilitate, flexibilitate, continuitate, adaptabilitate și reziliență.
Inseguridad y producción del espacio: la paradoja de la prevención situacional del delito
Authors: Arias Sobalvarro Anya Mabel , Luneke Alejandra
Published: July 2022

El aumento de la violencia en América latina ha promovido la participación de la ciudadanía en la gestión de la inseguridad. A partir del enfoque de prevención situacional del delito, sujetos y comunidades movilizan prácticas en búsqueda de protección en sus entornos vecinales. Un aspecto poco analizado por la literatura refiere a cómo estas prácticas producen el espacio y cuáles son los alcances que tienen en ciudades con altos niveles de violencia. Mediante un estudio cualitativo, basado en un caso de estudio en 2019, analizamos, de manera situada y etnográficamente, la producción física, social y simbólica del espacio público en la colonia Kennedy en la ciudad de Tegucigalpa. Los datos relevan que la percepción de inseguridad no solo se vincula con la preocupación por el crimen sino con otros problemas urbanos, al mismo tiempo que esta percepción ha generado el amurallamiento, aislamiento social y vigilantismo. Paradójicamente, estos fenómenos refuerzan los factores que facilitan la ocurrencia de delitos y el temor a estos. Los resultados muestran la necesidad de reflexionar críticamente acerca de los alcances de la prevención situacional y obliga a resituar el debate sobre la relación inseguridad/ crimen/planificación urbana en la ciudad latinoamericana.
Movilidad inteligente en la creación de valor público para usuarios del Metrobús en la Ciudad de México
Authors: Cariño Huerta Gloria , Fuentes Flores César M.
Published: July 2022

En la Ciudad de México se incluyeron recientemente otros modos de transporte al Sistema de Transporte Público Masivo tipo BRT llamado Metrobús, tomando el factor tecnológico como base para mejorar la eficiencia del transporte en general. Sin embargo, la movilidad inteligente no solo debe ser evaluada desde un enfoque tecnocéntrico, sino que también desde el enfoque del usuario. En este contexto, el objetivo del artículo es analizar desde el marco conceptual de la movilidad inteligente, si las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) están contribuyendo en la construcción de valor público, entendido este como el valor derivado de que una política pública satisfaga una necesidad social. En ese sentido, el estudio de caso explora el valor público de las tecnologías para mejorar la movilidad de los usuarios de la línea 1 del Metrobús en la Ciudad de México. La investigación, de tipo exploratoria, utilizó una metodología mixta e incluyó técnicas de recolección de datos cuantitativas, así como la aplicación de una encuesta probabilística en línea. Asimismo, las técnicas cualitativas implicaron la observación participante y entrevistas semiestructuradas a usuarios del Metrobús. Los resultados muestran la importancia de los usuarios del Metrobús en la evaluación y su contribución para que los programas de movilidad tengan valor, y desecha la idea de que la tecnología sea lo más importante para la construcción de una movilidad sostenible.
Forma y libertad arquitectónica: una propuesta de lectura de etapas proyectivas desde la topología
Authors: López-Arquillo Juan D.
Published: July 2022

En la historiografía del proyecto de Arquitectura, las obras de arquitectura son síntesis sociales construidas y resultado de la capacidad técnica de las mismas. La potencialidad generativa de geometrías no euclidianas y las dificultades inherentes al trabajo con superficies complejas nos hace redescubrir la etapa barroca como uno de los momentos germinales del proyecto de Arquitectura en relación a la experiencia del espacio. Sin embargo, la creación y visualización del proyecto de arquitectura con BIM limita las posibilidades de proyectar directamente con estas herramientas digitales de gemelo virtual, precisamente por la dificultad de trabajo con estas superficies. El artículo realiza una comparativa entre las técnicas proyectuales, geométricas y representativas de las diferentes etapas proyectivas, redundando en el espacio barroco y el proyecto contemporáneo de superficies complejas. Finalmente y desde éstas, evidenciar el peligro en la formación en las Escuelas de Arquitectura que puede devenir de la sustitución del proceso de proyecto por el desarrollo de constructos digitales como un constructo gráfico meramente artístico.
Mapeos de Gehl aplicados en las escaleras de Melipulli – Puerto Montt
Authors: Cárdenas Merino Diego Pablo , Fuentealba Quilodrán Jessica Solange
Published: July 2022

Las escaleras de Puerto Montt constituyen en su conjunto, un elemento arquitectónico que articula a la ciudad, respondiendo a la condición topográfica de ella, y que permite otros usos más allá del tránsito peatonal. En ellas se dan instancias de recreación, de sociabilización y de apreciación del paisaje. A pesar del valor que poseen, la percepción ciudadana sobre estos elementos es de inseguridad o peligro, lo que se puede deber a la falta de atención desde la institucionalidad y por las malas prácticas que algunos peatones desarrollan en ellas. Ante la actual falta de espacios públicos habilitados en el centro histórico de Puerto Montt, las escaleras y su diversidad de usos cobran aún más sentido. Esta investigación indagó sobre 3 escaleras en particular como un ensayo metodológico que otorga datos concretos para estudios diversos. La metodología aplicada fue mixta, combinando datos cuantitativos y cualitativos, con un enfoque etnográfico, cuya base considera las herramientas brindadas por Jan Gehl para estudiar la ciudad y sus espacios públicos, y el croquis como instrumento de observación. De esta forma, se identificaron patrones de uso del peatón.

El estado de la conciliación en el procedimiento general de reclamación tributaria y la nueva constitución
Authors: Pérez Marchant Javier
Published: July 2022

Con el objeto de robustecer la justicia tributaria y resolver, principalmente, los problemas de congestión que presentaba el sistema, la Ley 21.039 incorporó al procedimiento general de reclamaciones tributarias y aduaneras una nueva etapa de conciliación, regulando su tramitación y materias, así como las limitaciones y requisitos para su aplicación. Sin embargo, a más de tres años de su incorporación, dicha herramienta ha mostrado escasa aplicación. Este artículo analiza las razones por las cuales dicha conciliación no ha sido exitosa, especialmente a la luz de las recientes modificaciones que la Ley 21.210, sobre modernización tributaria, ha introducido. Adicionalmente, se
discute cómo esta regulación podría verse afectada por el actual proceso constituyente, ilustrando la experiencia comparada.
Riesgos y principio de precaución: Una alternativa disponible para el control de operaciones de concentración en Chile
Authors: Chible Villadangos Pía
Published: July 2022

Este trabajo pretende evaluar la pertinencia de un análisis a la luz del principio de precaución en el control de operaciones de concentración. Para ello se revisan los fundamentos de la administración de riesgos, a partir de la cual surge el principio de precaución. Asimismo, se examinan formas en las que el principio precautorio ha sido incorporado por agencias de competencia en Europa. Posteriormente, se analiza la coherencia del principio de precaución con el régimen chileno de control de operaciones de concentración. Finalmente, se ofrecen recomendaciones para la adopción de un cambio de paradigma por parte de la autoridad de competencia chilena, apuntando a las herramientas que deben ser aprovechadas para impulsar estas modificaciones al control de operaciones de concentración

Acerca de las servidumbres negativas mineras
Authors: Quinzio Santelices Jorge Cristián
Published: July 2022

Como consecuencia de la proliferación de demandas posesorias de denuncia de obra nueva ejercidas por concesionarios mineros buscando paralizar el desarrollo de obras y proyectos en los terrenos superficiales de terceros, la práctica jurídica nacional ha creado el innovador contrato de servidumbre negativa minera, por el cual un concesionario minero constituye un gravamen sobre su concesión en favor de un predio superficial, obligándose a no desarrollar labores mineras a cambio de un pago que las partes denominan indemnización. Este trabajo analiza dichos pactos y los califica como carentes de legitimidad, contrarios al orden público y a la ley, tanto civil como minera, y por ende, susceptibles de anulación, a través del ejercicio de la acción pública de nulidad absoluta.
Revisión de los criterios de la Fiscalía Nacional Económica respecto del ejercicio de control e influencia decisiva en fondos de inversión
Authors: Viertel Iñíguez Macarena
Published: July 2022

Este artículo revisa los conceptos de control e influencia decisiva en fondos de inversión, a propósito del control de operaciones de concentración. Para ello, se hace una breve referencia al marco regulatorio nacional de los fondos de inversión y a los distintos intervinientes en la dinámica del funcionamiento de los mismos. Posteriormente, se realiza un paralelo entre las conceptualizaciones de control e influencia decisiva descritas en la Ley N° 18.045 de Mercado de Valores y en las directrices de la Guía de Competencia de la Fiscalía Nacional Económica. Finalmente, se revisan las decisiones más significativas de la agencia de competencia respecto de fondos de inversión y los criterios utilizados por la autoridad para delimitar el análisis de competencia.
Breve historia de la primera ley de competencia chilena (1959 -1973)
Authors: Abarca Meza Manuel
Published: July 2022

Este trabajo pretende explicar la primera ley de competencia chilena, el Título V de la Ley Nº 13.305 vigente entre 1959 y 1973. Esta ley no habría tenido mayor aplicación práctica producto de su coexistencia con una economía dirigista, y en especial, con fuertes controles de precios. Lo anterior puede explicarse tanto por el contexto económico e institucional en que se dictó la ley de competencia, como al entendimiento que tuvo la jurisprudencia respecto a esta coexistencia. En este sentido, el contexto económico e institucional permeó los fines, valores y aplicación del Derecho de la Competencia chileno en sus primeros años de existencia.
