Arqueología del lenguaje en las composiciones de Meredith Monk. Musicalidad, sustancialidad, decreación
Authors: Aguirre Martínez Guillermo
Published: August 2022

La exposición de una voz que se desintegra, se desprovee de su carácter comunicativo y se hunde en un estrato precultural y protolingüístico, vertebra la obra vocal de Meredith Monk. Con su trabajo, la creadora -desde un modelo estético plural que abarca la actividad dramática, poética, musical y audiovisual- explora el terreno de la antropología de la cultura. La voz, en este modelo compositivo, se repliega tanto sobre su raíz musical como sobre técnicas expandidas: susurros, gritos, risas. En las siguientes páginas se ofrece una visión sintética de esta propuesta creativa desde una base epistemológica vertebrada por medio de motivos como el juego, la mímesis, la dialéctica entre composición y descomposición y el concepto de musilenguaje. Este último, trabajado por autores como Robert N. Bellah, Steven Brown o Steven Mithen, comprende la música como base del habla.

Topology, skyrmions, and Heusler compounds
Authors: Felser Claudia , Parkin Stuart
Published: August 2022

Topology is a topic of considerable interest in materials science. In magnetic materials, the Berry curvature in real and reciprocal space leads to new topological objects that include, for example, skyrmions and Weyl fermions. Heusler compounds, a particularly interesting family of compounds, are highly tunable materials with diverse topological electronic and magnetic textures. Tuning their elemental components, composition, and symmetry allows for the stabilization of a wide range of magnetic structures and magnetic crystalline anisotropies. In Heusler compounds, several types of skyrmion textures have been observed, which include antiskyrmions that are perhaps the most complex of these spin textures and, consequently, have unique properties that make them particularly attractive, as well as Bloch skyrmions. Skyrmions have the potential to be used as magnetic bits in high-density storage devices such as racetrack memories as well as for neuromorphic computing systems that go beyond Moore’s Law.

Paradoxos e limites da colaboração interprofissional: análise de um Núcleo Ampliado de Saúde da Família e Atenção Básica
Authors: Silva Atila Mendes da , Miranda Lilian
Published: August 2022

Resumo Este artigo analisa as possibilidades e os limites da colaboração interprofissional no âmbito do cuidado em saúde mental, considerando-se as articulações entre as equipes do Núcleo Ampliado de Saúde da Família e Atenção Básica e da Estratégia de Saúde da Família em um município do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, baseada na abordagem hermenêutica filosófica, que se pautou em um estudo de caso, utilizando como estratégias metodológicas a observação participante, grupos focais narrativos e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados indicam a indissociabilidade dos elementos estruturais, organizacionais e intersubjetivos na colaboração interprofissional, com fortes tensionamentos no que diz respeito à organização dos processos de trabalho tanto em sua dimensão formal quanto intersubjetiva. Identificou-se que o compartilhamento de alguns objetivos do cuidado, como a desmedicalização, fomentava a construção de parcerias entre as equipes. Por outro lado, a partir do diálogo com os referenciais utilizados, compreendeu-se que regras construídas com o intuito de induzir a cooperação tiveram efeito paradoxal, gerando participação desimplicada em parte dos trabalhadores. Conclui-se que as relações de confiança no trabalho mostraram-se um elemento fundamental para a colaboração, o que exige a configuração de um ambiente organizacional capaz de aglutinar interesses e lidar com conflitos.
Effect of chitosan concentration on physicochemical properties of starch-based straws
Authors: Fan Wendong , Zhao Jing , Zong Houru , Li Quanhong
Published: August 2022

China’s 2021 ban on disposable (single-use) plastic straws and bags has necessitated the invention of more biodegradable straws. However, the application of starch-based straws is limited by their poor mechanical properties. Under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, starch becomes a paste and its molecular hydrogen bonds are broken. After adding chitosan (CH), the CH and starch can form new hydrogen bonds. Biodegradable starch-based straws were made from cassava starch and rice starch (weight ratio = 1:1; CR) by using the extrusion technique. CH (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) was added to improve the mechanical properties of the straws, and the effect of CH on the chemical, mechanical and water resistance properties of the starch-based straws was investigated. The color, transparency and water resistance of CR/CH straws containing different levels of CH were superior to those of CR straws. The best mechanical properties and water resistance of starch-based straws were obtained when the CH addition was 5%. The addition of CH flattened the appearance of the starch-based straws and improved the mechanical properties and water resistance of the straws. The aforementioned structure can provide a reference for the application of starch-based materials.
Atmospheres of Belonging? Exploring Ambient Power Through Manchester’s Craft Beer Festivals
Authors: Steadman Chloe , de Jong Anna
Published: August 2022

City atmospheres are increasingly engineered through multi-sensory manipulations to render places attractive in a competitive global landscape. Reflecting the wider ‘festivalisation of cities’, cultural festivals play an important role in generating such urban atmospheres. However, as Allen’s concept of ‘ambient power’ recognises, spaces and places can (co)produce seductive ambiences of inclusion by insidiously working on people’s senses, in ways that extend belonging to some, whilst leading certain undervalued social groups to feel excluded. This chapter explores atmosphere, ambient power, and (not) belonging through two craft beer festivals in Manchester, U.K, through engagement with participant observations and over 5,000 social media posts, photographs and videos. We reveal how craft beer festival atmospheres are informed by pre-existing power relations, past experiences, and anticipations; informing – and informed by ­– a broader urban politics of belonging. And yet, we also illustrate how inclusions and exclusions of specific festivals are not fixed or predetermined; rather, the dynamic spatial, temporal, and multi-sensory affordances of each craft beer festival also influence the ways through which belonging unfolds differently. Taking insights from both cases, the chapter concludes by reflecting on how more inclusive urban atmospheres might be crafted.
Come Enjoy the Craic: Locating an Irish Traditional Music Festival in Drogheda
Authors: Kearney Daithí , Burns Kevin
Published: August 2022

The Irish traditional music festival ‘Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann’ was first held in Drogheda, Co. Louth in August 2018 and subsequently in August 2019. The host town benefitted not only economically during the festival, but also from enhanced investment in infrastructure and marketing. This created a legacy that has outlasted the event itself. Irish traditional music has typically been associated with the west of Ireland and narratives and marketing related to the tradition typically involves reference to rurality. As an urban place on the east coast near the border with Northern Ireland, Drogheda presented a new location and new spaces for the festivalisation of Irish traditional music culture while simultaneously requiring organisers to consider the use of urban public space for festival activities. The local authority was a significant stakeholder in Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Drogheda and utilised the opportunity to create and disseminate an identity for the town and region that would have a legacy for tourism beyond the staging of the event. Using reflective ethnography and interviews with local authority representatives and the festival organisers, this study critically considers how towns are thinking about their public spaces in terms of outdoor staging, public congregation and access. This chapter focuses on the use of such public space during the festival and the development of an identity for Drogheda as a place of festivals. The chapter highlights the importance of urban 'public spaces' and their utilisation as something both local government policymakers and festival audiences are looking for. Such 'public spaces' once re-imagined are now seen as 'experience spaces' in which the quantity and variety of festival experience possibilities are vital.
Public Value Outcomes of Festivals: Well-Being and Economic Perspectives
Authors: Hell Niclas , McPherson Gayle
Published: August 2022

Paisley is Scotland’s largest town. It suffers from both high degrees of multiple socio-economic deprivation, and an unfavourable public image. Renfrewshire Council is investing both money and prestige in ameliorating that image and rebuilding the town within a long-term cultural regeneration strategy that places public value at the core of its strategy. Hopes are that these efforts will reinvent the town in a post neoliberal mould, one that values well-being, as a successful example of urban cultural regeneration. Recent efforts (bidding for UK City of Culture, 2021) have increased attendance at, and reputation of, events in Paisley significantly. The town needs to celebrate and trade on its cultural heritage but it wants to create a town that can prosper digitally, culturally and beyond its local boundaries, leading the way as a place of cultural experience nationally and internationally. This chapter looks at the socio-economic impact of festivals as well as identity creation tied to place. From 200 structured interviews with shopkeepers and festival attendees, community values as well as economic benefits are discussed. Secondary analysis of public documents and commissioned evaluations from Renfrewshire Council provide an insight into how economic and identity values are represented. The chapter concludes by emphasising the significance of regional and national festivals to growing brand identity within and beyond regional and national boundaries, but contends that policymakers and businesses need to take a holistic approach to cultural regeneration that recognises the public value of culture by adopting a well-being approach to socio-economic growth that in turn allows for a growth in monetary and identity terms.

Development of a Near Peer Clinical Anatomy Review Session during the Surgery Clerkship: Pre- and Post-Test Results among Third Year Medical Students
Authors: Blythe Meghan , Quinn Karson , Helmer Stephen , Smith John
Published: August 2022

Introduction. The amount of time teaching anatomy during medical school has decreased. Our aim was to design a review of anatomy relevant to general surgery to increase third-year medical students’ confidence identifying anatomical structures in the operating room.
Methods. A formalin-embalmed cadaver-based review of anatomy was created and taught in near-peer fashion to third-year medical students. An anonymous survey and anatomy test were administered to participants pre- and post-session. The survey and test were designed to evaluate anatomy knowledge as well as student confidence identifying structures in the operating room. Survey data were compared using the Wilcoxon signed rank test.
Results. Seventy third-year medical students completed the anatomy review. There was a statistically significant improvement in students’ confidence levels (p < 0.001) identifying structures in the operating room and in anatomy test scores (p < 0.001). Subjectively, students were thankful for the review session and found it helpful.
Conclusions. This near-peer review session designed at our institution was successful in improving immediate anatomy test scores and confidence levels identifying structures in the operating room.
Comunicación y liderazgo político de López Obrador con sus seguidores a través de Twitter durante el Covid-19
Authors: González-Rosas Erika Lourdes , Arias-Romo Enrique , Campos-Canchola Rafael
Published: August 2022

El liderazgo y comunicación política en tiempos de crisis requieren de una eficiente estrategia que guie a losciudadanos sobre cómo actuar. Actualmente, los líderes utilizan las redes sociales digitales como instrumentos políticos. El presidente López Obrador es uno de los políticos con mayor número de seguidores (casi nueve millones) en Twitter. La crisis sanitaria por Covid-19 sigue generando graves repercusiones por lo que se analizó cómo se comunicó el presidente mexicano durante esta etapa. El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar el liderazgo y comunicación política en sus tuits 2020. Se utilizaron los constructos de comunicación, populismo, carisma y comportamiento estratégico para determinar su estilo. Se analizaron 631 tuits mediante una metodología cualitativa y de análisis de contenido, de los cuales 104 estaban relacionados con el Covid-19. Los resultados muestran que López Obrador tiene principalmente un estilo de comunicación informativo sobre su gestión con características populistas y carismáticas y finalmente poco orientado al comportamientoestratégico. Se concluye que el presidente mexicano no empleó Twitter como estrategia informativa sobre la contingencia sanitaria, lo cual es contrario a un liderazgo y comunicación política eficiente durante una crisis, ni tampoco como instrumento político. Se recomienda adecuar su estilo según las circunstancias.
Policy framework for implementation of a circular economy in Croatia: Past, present, and future
Authors: Švarc Jadranka
Published: August 2022

This work aims to shed light on the evolution of the national policy framework in Croatia in its transition to circular economy (CE), and provide a better understanding of how Croatia stands in its transition to CE. The methodology employed in this research involves a systematic analysis of policy programmes, initiatives, and actions regarding Croatia’s transition to CE since 1991. This has resulted in a list of 31 policy documents, mainly laws, action plans, and policy proposals, grouped according to the eight components of the European Green Deal. Institutional stakeholders, funding opportunities, and CE performance are also discussed in order to complement the descriptions of the policy framework. The main contribution of this research is the insight it offers into the history of CE policy development in Croatia, which can be roughly divided into four phases, starting from environmental protection in the 1990s and moving towards a more dedicated approach to CE that recently emerged in policy agendas during 2019 and 2020, mostly due to European initiatives and regulations. Progress is expected to emerge as a result of external factors, primarily European programmes such as the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) and Just Transition Mechanism (JTM), which demand clearly defined priorities and elaborated projects.

Research on the regenerative capacity of the neonatal heart could open new avenues for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). However, the mechanism of cardiac regeneration remains unclear. In the present study, we constructed a mouse model of heart regeneration and then performed transcriptomic and proteomic analyses on them. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were conducted. Western blot (WB) and qPCR analyses were used to validate the hub genes expression. As a result, gene expression at the mRNA level and protein level is not the same. We identified 3186 DEGs and 42 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). Through functional analysis of DEGs and DEPs, we speculate that biological processes such as ubiquitination, cell cycle, and oxygen metabolism are involved in heart regeneration. Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis identified 19 hub genes and Ankrd1, Gpx3, and Trim72 were screened out as potential regulators of cardiac regeneration through further expression verification. In conclusion, we combined transcriptomic and proteomic analyses to characterize the molecular features during heart regeneration in neonatal mice. Finally, Ankrd1, Gpx3, and Trim72 were identified as potential targets for heart regeneration therapy.
Yeraltı (Underground) – Ana Akım (Mainstream) Etkileşimi Bağlamında İzmir Rap Scene
Authors: BUDAK Celalettin , ERGUN Levent
Published: August 2022

Hip hop kültürünün bir bileşeni olan Rap, günümüzde Amerikan müzik endüstrisinde ana akım (mainstream) bir türdür. 1970’li yıllarda New York’un Bronx bölgesinde ortaya çıktığı kabul edilen bu müziksel pratik, zamanla farklı ülkelerde de yerel dinamiklerle etkileşime girerek yeni ve yeniden üretilen, tüketilen bir emtia (meta) haline gelmiştir. Türkçe Rap müzik de bu bağlamda değerlendirilebilir. Ancak, Türkçe Rap müziğin tarihsel arka planı 1980’li yıllarda Almanya’da yaşayan Türk diasporasına dayanır. Bununla birlikte Türkiye’de 1990’lı yılların ortalarından itibaren yeraltı (underground) bir pratik olarak görünürlük kazanmaya başlayan Türkçe Rap’in, 2010’lu yılların ortalarından itibaren mainstream etkileşimi dikkat çekicidir. Bir müzik türünün eş zamanlı olarak hem mainstream hem de underground bir yaşam sürmesi de mümkündür. Mainstream ve underground karşıt konumları işaret etse de, bir müzik pratiği söz konusu karşıtlığa rağmen simbiyotik etkileşime her zaman açıktır. Günümüz medya teknolojilerinin sunduğu imkanlar, yerel ölçekte üretilen müzik metinlerini hem yereller arası hem de küresel ölçekte anında etkileşime açık hale getirdi. Buradan hareketle bu makale, alan araştırması yöntemini benimseyen etnomüzikoloji disiplinine uygun bir yaklaşımla İzmir merkezinde Rap atmosferi (scene) ve dinamiklerine odaklanır. Rap özelinde popüler müzik incelemesi olan bu çalışmada scene kavramsal inşayı işaret ederken, etnografi malumat toplama yöntemine vurgu yapar.
An Extensive Comparisons of 50 Univariate Goodness-of-fit Tests for Normality
Authors: Uyanto Stanislaus S.
Published: August 2022

The assumption of normality needs to be checked for many statistical procedures, namely parametric tests, because their validity depends on it. Given the importance of this subject and the widespread development of normality tests, comprehensive descriptionsand power comparisons of such tests are of considerable interest. Since recent comparison studies do not include several interesting and more recently developed tests, a further comparison of normality tests is considered to be of foremost interest. This study addresses the performance of 50 normality tests available in literature, from 1900 until 2018. Because a theoretical comparison is not possible, Monte Carlo simulation were used from various symmetric and asymmetric distributions for different sample sizes ranging from 10 to 100. The simulations results show that for symmetric distributions with support on (−∞, ∞) the tests Robust Jarque–Bera and Gel–Miao–Gastwirth have generally the most power. For asymmetric distributions with support on (−∞, ∞) the tests 1st Cabana-Cabanaand 2nd Zhang-Wu have the most power. For distributions with support on (0, ∞), and distributions with support on (0, 1) the test 2nd Zhang-Wu has generally the most power.
Understanding and Defining Family Myth as a Discourse
Authors: Elfimova M.M.
Published: August 2022

Relevance. The proposed theoretical study will, first, clarify the understanding of the phenomenon of the family myth in the context of postmodern development of psychological scientific knowledge. Secondly, it is connected with a demand for psychotechnical renewal of psychological practice focused on constructive interaction of a person in a family, realization of his values, his preferred identity in the conditions of modern realities. The peculiarity of this practice consists in acceptance and understanding of the person’s history without concretization and amplification of the helpless, painful and pathological aspects of this history. Methods. Theoretical analysis of scientific sources, comparative analysis, generalization. Objective. To substantiate the possibility of considering the phenomenon of family myth as a discourse. Conclusions. Presented a new interpretation of the phenomenon of family myth in the context of the narrative approach in psychology. Family myth is defined as a discourse that is reproduced in family communication in the form of beliefs without obvious authorship, excluding their critical reflection, taking control over the behavior of family members in order to maintain the family system homeostasis and meet the criteria of family identification. The proposed variant of interpretation of family myth as a discourse opens up possibilities of psychological work with it in the format of deconstructive listening practice, which is understood as a special type of listening where any life story is seen as an actively constructed story, questioning the immutability of any life narrative. By moving through the mythological construction through a detached (critical) position, thanks to other sign-symbolic constructions, one has one’s own text (narrative) as the preferred story of one’s life.

Authors: Lecaillon Makhabbat , Lomonosov Konstantin M.
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: Vitiligo is an acquired skin disease whose etiology is still unknown. It is observed in 0.51% of the world population. Medical and social significance is due to the impact on the psychological state of the patient and the quality of his life.
AIMS: Analysis of the quality of life index in patients suffering from vitiligo.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The results of questionnaires filled out by 150 patients (95 women and 55 men) suffering from vitiligo were studied in the work. The average age of the subjects was 34.561.73 years. A survey was conducted among the subjects: patients were asked questions from a questionnaire specially developed by us. The work also used the Dermatological Life Quality Index (DIQI). The questionnaire was filled in by all patients independently at the initial examination. The results were processed using Microsoft Excel from the Microsoft Office software package and the Statistica software package for statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The data obtained indicate that in all responses to the questions, the largest number of statements were classified as strongly/very strongly. This fact indicates a significant impact of this pathology on the quality of life of the subjects. The DLQI results also confirmed that the presence of vitiligo limits a persons quality of life to the maximum (in 41.3% of cases) and has a large negative impact (in 53.3% of cases).
CONCLUSION: Performing further research on the study of quality of life in patients suffering from vitiligo is one of the promising areas for developing a personalized approach to managing this group of patients.

Shock is a clinical syndrome that results from lack of oxygen utilization or supply to vital organs resulting in hypoxia. Shock is associated with significant morbidity and mortality as if not treated timely can lead to multiple organ failure and death. The mortality rate of shock ranges from 20% to 50%. Shock has several pathophysiologies including intracardiac etiologies such as myocardial infarction, myopathy, or severe arrhythmia which produce altered maturation and cause heart failure while loss of internal or external fluid due to trauma or bleeding often results in hypovolemia. Also, obstruction by extracardiac causes and activation of inflammatory cascade can induce shock. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the classification, pathophysiology and principle of therapy of shock. The major classification of shock includes cardiogenic, hypovolemic, obstructive and distributive shock. Distributive shock is further divided into three subclasses of septic, anaphylactic and neurogenic shock. Haemorrhagic shock is also the sub-type of hypovolemic shock. Each class of shock requires a specific treatment and timely management to prevent any further complications. Constant examination, resuscitation and re-evaluation are important in therapy of shock. To treat hypotension and to increase cardiac output, vasopressor drugs and inotropic adrenergic drugs continue to be the most widely used therapies. Endogenous catecholamines such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine among other vasopressors have been shown to be effective in treating various types of shocks that are controlled as part of treatment for shock. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can help in prevention of complications of shock also enhancing the recovery of patients.

Improving human health is the considered major concern in area of medical and agricultural sciences. It is achieved by providing good health supplements with balanced diet to people in the forms of cost effective and safe nano-biofortified or nano-bioengineered vegetable crop plants to fight against malnutrition and other various diseases. And these nano-based methodologies are involved the use of nanoparticles of essential nutrients like copper, iron, selenium, cobalt, and zinc being as fertilizers or stimulants in soils or waters to improve the qualities of vegetable crop plants and make them more enriched with major nutrients and diseased free. Hence, this strategic clinical and agro-practice based management should be considered to combat fungal and microbial diseases of crop plants through cost effective and green nanotechnology-based approach used in the form of nano-formulation and fortified bioagents and biostimulants.

This case study investigates how teachers in a school with a large population of low-income students of color in the U.S. perceived students’ cultural capital and associated teachers’ roles. Twenty-seven teachers were interviewed and discussed four domains of cultural capital mismatch between students and teachers: behavioral, experiential, academic, and family norm. Teachers often characterized these misalignments as students’ deficits and undertook parenting or friendship roles. This study highlights the need to support and train pre-service and in-service teachers’ critical consciousness, so that teachers leverage students’ cultural tools to enhance instruction and to counteract deficit views of students of color.
The Creation of National Cultures through Education, the Inequities They Produce, and the Challenges for Multicultural Education
Authors: Smagorinsky Peter
Published: August 2022

This essay compares and contrasts the educational movements of three nations—the United States, Mexico, and the Soviet Union—established according to Eurocentric cultural values. In each country, mass education was undertaken to help produce an assimilative national culture during formative periods characterized by instability. In two of these nations, the U.S. and Mexico, this foundation eventually required an accommodation to address multiculturalism. This latter-day perspective is designed to recognize, respect, and appreciate a variety of cultures. This essay examines the ways in which these two oppositional goals—monoculturalism and multiculturalism—have intersected in schools.
“I’m Brazilian, Not Brazilian American”: The Experiences of Second-Generation Brazilian Adolescents Preserving Their Heritage Language and Resisting Assimilation
Authors: Halpern Clarisse , Austin Ward Zachary , Aydin Hasan
Published: August 2022

Culture and heritage language (HL) preservation are crucial to developing children of immigrants’ ethnic and social identity, creating a sense of belonging, and fostering family and ethnic community support. However, numerous challenges permeate the experiences of underrepresented ethnolinguistic groups like Brazilian immigrants who are largely invisible in the United States. Therefore, this study investigated the lived experiences of second-generation Brazilian adolescents with culture and HL preservation. In-depth interviews and a focus group were conducted with 13 participants. The findings highlighted the participants’ embrace of their Brazilian ethnic identity and rejection of their American citizenship, and emphasized HL in affirming their identities and confronting discrimination.
Evidenciação Socioambiental das Empresas de Papel e Celulose

Published: August 2022

Por ser ambientalmente sensível, o setor de papel e celulose realiza ações socioambientais para mitigar os efeitos negativos da produção. As evidenciações socioambientais são estratégias que as empresas utilizam para demonstrar as ações socioambientais. Assim, este estudo objetiva analisar a evolução das evidenciações socioambientais das empresas brasileiras de papel e celulose. A análise contempla os relatórios de sustentabilidade de oito empresas, considerando quatro períodos de análise (2011, 2013, 2015 e 2017). Para tanto, analisou-se o conteúdo dos relatórios de sustentabilidade do setor, publicados na base de dados da Global Reporting Initiative. O tratamento dos dados ocorreu por meio de estatísticas descritivas e da análise fatorial múltipla. Os resultados demonstram que o padrão das evidenciações é similar entre as empresas. A categoria ambiental foi a mais evidenciada, contudo, houve um declínio nos níveis de divulgação a partir de 2013, principalmente para a categoria responsabilidade com o produto.
“Eu é que não Ponho meu Cartão de Crédito aí!”: Um Estudo dos Antecedentes da Lealdade no Contexto On-lines
Authors: Babolim Mayara Rodrigues Graça , Lopes Evandro Luiz , Fernandes Aleixo , Carvalho Marcelo , Pinochet Luis Hernan Contreras
Published: August 2022

Apresentamos neste trabalho um modelo de hipóteses com variáveis antecedentes da Lealdade em relação a um website (qualidade do site, reputação, segurança, benefício percebido e confiança) e o papel mediador do valor percebido nesta relação. A coleta foi realizada por meio de um survey on-line no qual participaram 243 respondentes.  Os dados obtidos foram analisados por meio de modelagem de equações estruturais com estimação da matriz de correlação por mínimos quadrados parciais.  Mesmo que 10 (das 14) hipóteses tenham sido confirmadas, nem a Segurança percebida pelo internauta nem a Reputação do website foram significantes para explicar a Lealdade da amostra. Isso mostra um ponto central para a atuação dos gestores de marketing, dado que a percepção dos usuários acerca destes construtos revela um grande gap em relação ao cenário ideal. Ao final do estudo apresentamos as principais implicações teóricas e práticas.
La argumentación jurídica vista desde los desacuerdos entre juristas
Authors: Agudelo Giraldo Oscar Alexis , Prieto Fetiva Camilo Humberto
Published: August 2022

Siendo la argumentación jurídica heredera de las teorías de la decisión judicial y, por lo tanto, de la teoría jurídica, sobrevienen como campos de actuación el análisis de como los problemas de la teoría jurídica postpositivista afectan los momentos de justificación de la decisión judicial. De esta manera, se postulan para el presente: La relación argumentación jurídica–teoría del derecho, el binomio validez–aplicabilidad de normas jurídicas, los momentos dejustificación de la decisión judicial y, las maneras en las que la teoría de la argumentación jurídica se relaciona con los desacuerdos entre juristas.
Reflexiones en torno al concepto de participación ciudadana: consideraciones aristotélicas y neoaristotélicas
Authors: Agudelo Zorrilla Andrés , Román Negroni Joel I.
Published: August 2022

El presente artículo pretende analizar el concepto de “participación ciudadana” desde la perspectiva clásica de Aristóteles y la mirada moderna de John Dewey, teniendo en miras las dinámicas sociológicas de la época contemporánea. Para eso, se hará una revisión crítica del andamiaje histórico-conceptual planteado por Aristóteles en el marco de La Constitución de Atenas y la comprensión del estagirita de nociones tales como ciudad, animal político y justicia como insumos conceptuales connaturales al fenómeno de la participación ciudadana. Posteriormente, se expondrá un panorama general de la filosofía política contemporánea, destacando la influencia de Aristóteles en las discusiones actuales en torno al concepto de participación ciudadana, especialmente, se tomará en cuenta la propuesta de Dewey como una alternativa vigente para explicar las dinámicas de participación ciudadana y una opción normativa para mejorar las condiciones políticas de las sociedades actuales.
La condición vulnerable y solidaria de la vida humana: un análisis crítico del pensamiento de MacIntyre
Authors: Rojas-Claros Armando , Gelvez-Higuera Rubén
Published: August 2022

En este artículo se analiza la tesis de MacIntyre que sostiene la dimensión biológica o animal del ser humano, como la condición privilegiada mediante la cual puede reconocerse el carácter vulnerable y dependiente de los agentes morales. Este punto de partida permite argumentar a favor de las virtudes relacionadas con la reciprocidad, y cuestionar la idea del ser humano como un individuo solitario, sin ataduras afectivas y morales. Veremos que este planteamiento presenta algunas dificultades que serán examinadas al final del texto, y que su posición, aunque valiosa, no puede tener prioridad frente a la concepción moderna del individuo.

Published: August 2022

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo caracterizar las propuestas en torno a la comprensión del sexo y el placer sexual, producidas recientemente en el campo de la filosofía; por tal razón utilizamos la metodología de estado del arte. Al final, sostenemos que los aportes de estas disertaciones: los feminismos filosóficos, las discusiones en torno a la identidad sexual y la heteronormatividad, y las éticas sexuales, pueden ser estrategias para combatir la discriminación sexual.
Fiedler Linearizations for Higher Order State-Space Systems
Authors: Behera Namita
Published: August 2022

Consider a higher order state space system and associated system matrix S(?). The aim of this paper is to linearize the higher order system preserving system characteristics. That is, we derive a linearized state space system of the given higher order system preserving system characteristics(e.g., controllability, observability, various zeros and transfer function) for analysis of higher order systems which gives the solution for higher order system. We study recovery of zero directions of higher order state space system from those of the linearizations. That is, the zero directions of the transfer functions associated to higher order state space system are recovered from the eigenvectors of the Fiedler pencils without performing any arithmetic operations.
