Authors: Doğanay Yıldız Ezgi , Arslan Hakan , Ayaz Nilay , Gündoğdu Mustafa , Özdoğan Alper , Gundogdu Eyup Candas
Published: September 2019

Background. Vertical root fracture might occur during root canal preparation, obturation, post procedures or endodontic treatment. Methods. Fifty-four single-rooted human teeth were decoronated to obtain a standardized length. The root canals were enlarged up to #50 and obturated with gutta-percha and root canal sealer. Eighteen teeth were used as a control group, and vertical root fracture was induced in the remaining teeth. The samples were randomly divided into three groups, as follows: control group (without vertical root fracture), Super-Bond C&B group (fragments were attached with Super-Bond C&B), and self-adhesive dual-cured resin cement group (fragments were attached with self-adhesive dual-cured resin cement). Each specimen was subjected to a fracture resistance test, and data were statistically analyzed using chi-squared test, one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests (P=0.05). Results. The fracture resistance values of the control and Super-Bond C&B groups were higher than those of the self-adhesive dual-cured resin cement group (P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences between the control and Super-Bond C&B groups (P>0.05). Conclusion. Within the limitations of the present study, Super-Bond C&B was beneficial in obtaining higher fracture resistance in endodontically treated roots with vertical root fracture.

Authors: Restar Arjee J. , Surace Anthony , Ogunbajo Adedotun , Edeza Alberto , Kahler Christopher
Published: September 2019

Cisgender male sexual partners of transgender women (MSTW) may be at risk for HIV infection. We performed a review of HIV risk factors among MSTW. We searched PubMed database for empirical quantitative U.S.-based studies that included MSTW and were published in English up to November 2018. Of the 4,680 total papers identified, 6 unique studies were included. MSTW displayed heterogeneity in HIV risk factors (e.g., condom use, sexual partners, sexual positions, substance use). In our exploratory meta-analyses, estimated prevalence of self-reported HIV positive status among MSTW was 30.6%, HIV unknown status was 8.8%, and self-reported condomless anal sex with transgender women was 46.1%. Reports of sexual health communication with transgender women was low. More research on MSTW populations is needed to better understand this population's unique needs in the context of recent advancements in HIV prevention.

Hydrothermal Synthesis of MIL-53 Catalyst for Liquid Phase Oxidation of Phenol Fenolün Sıvı Faz Oksidasyonu için Mil-53 Katalizörünün Hidrotermal Sentezi
Authors: İÇTEN Okan , ÖZER Demet
Published: September 2019

For the removal of toxic organic phenol pollutants, to find a new alternative oxidation catalyst has been an important

topic for a long time. Iron terephthalate (MIL-53) is an efficient catalyst for oxidation processes with high porosity and

high surface area. In this study, MIL-53 was used for the oxidation of phenol. The catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal

method at 150°C for 2 h. It was structurally characterized by FT-IR and p-XRD. Thermal properties were also examined. The

surface area was found as 152 m2

/g with micropore areas. The liquid phase oxidation of phenol by hydrogen peroxide was

performed on MIL-53. The reaction time, reaction temperature, catalyst amount and oxidant amount were also investigated.

The phenol was removed with 91% conversion for 3 hours at 80°C. MIL-53 was enhanced as an alternative catalyst for liquid

phase oxidation of phenol with high efficiency, selectivity, and conversion.
On LPI rings
Authors: EL KHALFAOUİ Rachida , MAHDOU Najib , MİMOUNİ Abdeslam
Published: September 2019

In this paper, we extend the $LPI$ property (that is, every locally principal ideal in an integral domain is invertible) to rings with zero-divisors and we study the class of commutative rings in which every regular locally principal ideal is invertible called $LPI$ rings. We investigate the stability of this property under homomorphic image, and its transfer to various contexts of constructions such as direct products, amalgamation of rings and trivial ring extensions. Our results generate examples which enrich the current literature with new and original families of rings that satisfy this property.

Rings of frame maps from $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R})$ to frames which vanish at infinity
Authors: ESTAJİ Ali Akbar , DARGHADAM Ahmad Mahmoudi
Published: September 2019

Let $\mathcal F_{\mathcal{P}}( L)$ be the set of all frame maps from $\mathcal P(\mathbb R)$ to $L$, which is an $f$-ring. In this paper, we introduce the subrings $\mathcal F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{\infty}}( L)$ of all frame maps from $\mathcal P(\mathbb R)$ to $L$ which vanish at infinity and $\mathcal F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{K}}( L)$ of all frame maps from $\mathcal P(\mathbb R)$ to $L$ with compact support. We prove $\mathcal F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{\infty}}( L)$ is a subring of $\mathcal F_{\mathcal{P}}(L)$ that may not be an ideal of $\mathcal F_{\mathcal{P}}(L)$ in general and we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for $\mathcal F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{\infty}}( L)$ to be an ideal of $\mathcal F_{\mathcal{P}}( L)$. Also, we show that $\mathcal F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{K}}( L)$ is an ideal of $\mathcal F_{\mathcal{P}}( L)$ and it is a regular ring. For $f\in\mathcal F_{\mathcal{P}}( L)$, we obtain a sufficient condition for $f$ to be an element of $F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{\infty}}( L)$ ($\mathcal F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{K}}( L)$). Next, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a frame to be compact. We introduce $\mathcal F_{\mathcal{P}}$-pseudocompact and next we establish equivalent condition for an $\mathcal F_{\mathcal{P}}$-pseudocompact frame to be a compact frame. Finally, we study when for some frame $L$ with $\mathcal F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{\infty}} (L)\neq(0)$, there is a locally compact frame $M$ such that $\mathcal F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{\infty}}( L)\cong\mathcal F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{\infty}}(M)$ and $\mathcal F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{K}}( L)\cong\mathcal F_{{\mathcal{P}}_{K}}(M)$.

Authors: KHAN Noor Mohammad , ALİ Md. Firoj
Published: September 2019

In this paper, after introducing the notion of relative bi-ideals and relative quasi ideals in ordered semigroups, some important properties of these bi-ideals and quasi ideals are studied. Then relatively prime and relatively weakly semiprime bi-ideals are defined and some vital results have been proved. We also define relative regularity and relative intra-regularity of an ordered semigroup and prove some results based on the connection among intra-regularity of an ordered semigroup, relative quasi and relative bi-ideals of that ordered semigroup. Finally some important results connecting relative regularity, relatively prime bi-ideals and relatively weakly semiprime bi-ideals of an ordered semigroup have also been obtained.
DO MITO GREGO AO MITO AMERÍNDIO: UMA ENTREVISTA SOBRE LÉVI-STRAUSS COM EDUARDO VIVEIROS DE CASTRO
Authors: Lagrou Elsje , Belaunde Luisa Elvira
Published: September 2019

Resumo: Nesta entrevista, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro discorre sobre os "dois Lévi-Strauss" presentes na obra do autor, a partir de uma reflexão sobre a importância das Mitológicas, série coroada pelo História de Lince. Nota-se nesta sequência de estudos uma progressiva "etnologização" do escopo analítico da antropologia estrutural. Esse movimento é ambíguo, com idas e vindas, mas se mostra claro em História de Lince, no qual se percebe a importância do tema da "abertura ao outro", tema este que se ligaria às fontes filosóficas e éticas do dualismo ameríndio. Trata-se, portanto, em História de Lince, de realizar uma reflexão sobre a especificidade do modo como os povos indígenas pensam a questão do humano. Do primeiro volume das Mitológicas ao História de Lince observa-se também a transformação de uma mitologia grega, ponto de partida filosófico do autor, embora nunca revelado de forma explícita, em uma mitologia ameríndia.
Fostering Computational Thinking skills in the Last Years of Primary School
Authors: Freina Laura , Bottino Rosa , Ferlino Lucia
Published: September 2019

The introduction of Computational Thinking (CT) in Italian compulsory schools is on the way, and there is a general need for new methodologies to support teachers’ work. A one-year long learning path supporting the development of CT skills in primary school students through game making activities was defined and tested in a case study with one grade 5 class. All students in the class were actively involved regardless of their personal interest, their participation was generally high, their skills increased along the project, and the main objectives were reached. Nevertheless, results suggest that a longer time span is needed for students to master deeply the new concepts and tools, class organization proved to be crucial and this confirms the need for an adequate teachers’ training before introducing CT in classroom activities. Students demonstrated to be on the right path to approach CT through game making, but they still need to be guided in taking the player’s perspective and making their games easy to be understood and played. At the end of the case study, the learning path was revised and is now in use in a three-year long project in a primary school.

Published: September 2019

The relationship between the development of 21st-century skills and game-based learning is a field to explore. Among the 21-st century skills, critical thinking is one of the most analyzed skills. This study aims to deepen the relationship between learning and disposition to critical thinking (DCT) in the context of Serious Games (SGs). In particular, starting from the evidence of previous work, that highlighted a positive effect of the DCT on game performance, this study analyzes how the DCT also affects the explicit learning gained by the players. This work highlights that the DCT has a crucial role in explicit knowledge acquisition and how the improvement of game performance is a direct consequence of DCT through a path analysis methodology.

Authors: John Ashis Samuel , Bhate Kamaxi M.
Published: September 2019

Background: Inadequate understanding by patients of medical prescription given to them adversely affects treatment compliance; which can result in treatment failure and increase the incidence of adverse effects. The study site is a tertiary care hospital in a metropolitan city and the patients attending here are particularly vulnerable in this regard both due to the heavy patient load in the outpatient department and their low socioeconomic status.Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted in the pharmacy of K.E.M. Hospital, Mumbai over a period of 1 month. Study population included general outpatient department patients of the hospital. Patients were interviewed using a pre validated questionnaire and their knowledge of the prescription analysed under five key aspects including dose, timing, duration, side effects and purpose of each drug. Data was entered using Microsoft Excel and analyzed using SPSS 22 software.Results: The mean age of the population was 37.6, with a standard deviation of 12.4. A good overall knowledge of the prescription was present only in 12.4% patients. In 52% of patients, the level of knowledge ranged from ‘no knowledge to little knowledge’. Age and literacy had statistically significant associations with overall knowledge of prescription.Conclusions: There is a significant gap in prescription knowledge in the study population. Age and literacy of the patient has an effect on prescription knowledge.

Methods: This was a 4 year retrospective study of patients that presented with coital injuries at Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki. Data were obtained from patients’ clinical notes using a specially designed proforma. Statistical analysis was performed using Epi InfoTM 7.2.1.  

Results: The majority of women that presented with coital trauma were adolescents (67.9%). Most of them were single (92.9%), nulliparous (89.3%) and had only primary education (57.1%). The commonest cause of coital trauma was rape (75%). The commonest risk factors were inadequate foreplay (57.1%) and coitarche (42.9%). Other risk factors were genital disproportion, pregnancy, puerperium and influence of drugs. The common clinical presentations were vaginal bruises (75%) and vaginal lacerations (64.3%) while the commonest site of injury was the hymen (42.9%) followed by the vulva (35.7%). Other less common sites of injury were the lower vagina and posterior fornix.

Conclusions: Coital trauma is relatively common and young girls are mainly affected. Rape is the major cause while inadequate foreplay and coitarche are the major predisposing factors. 
Factores asociados al éxito académico en ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje
Authors: Moreno-Salamanca María Carolina
Published: September 2019

La modalidad virtual de la educación se desarrolla por medio del andamiaje computacional. Este andamiaje es el medio para la interacción entre los estudiantes, los profesores y el contenido. En la educación virtual, es necesario desarrollar, diseñar y construir de ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje (AVA). Los AVA son el espacio para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje; además, estos ambientes contienen los elementos necesarios para el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje, entre los que se encuentran: las instrucciones, la acción docente y/o tutorial, la planificación, los objetivos y metas, las actividades y tareas, la evaluación, el seguimiento, las estrategias, las didácticas, los aspectos metodológicos y didácticos del curso (Hiltz, 1986; Lara, 2001; Ortega y Moreno, 2013; Patiño, 2016; Trafford y Shirota, 2011).

Authors: Camelo-Quintero Elber Fernando
Published: September 2019

Actualmente la educación virtual permite a millones de personas formarse en diferentes áreas del conocimiento; por esta razón, la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia – UNAD ha respondido a esta realidad y oferta actualmente todos sus programas en la modalidad virtual. La formación en programas de ingeniería ha suscitado interrogantes frente a la manera en que se deben realizar las prácticas de laboratorio, parte vital del proceso de enseñanza–aprendizaje del ingeniero; en esta investigación se realiza un estudio específico sobre los programas de Ingeniería Electrónica y de Telecomunicaciones, orientados en modalidad virtual y sobre la integración de las prácticas de laboratorio en un curso disciplinar específico y común a las dos ingenierías. El presente artículo da a conocer las modalidades de laboratorio en los cursos metodológicos de la UNAD, una propuesta sobre cómo implementar las modalidades de laboratorio en la educación virtual y la importancia de articular las dos modalidades —presencial y simulada—, con las competencias propuestas en un curso metodológico de los programas de Ingeniería Electrónica e Ingeniería de Telecomunicaciones. A la luz de los resultados obtenidos, en los que el 87 % de los docentes y el 79 % de los estudiantes manifestaron que deberían implementarse las dos modalidades simultáneamente, se concluye que existe una complementariedad entre ellas. Esta conclusión se refuerza con el hecho de que los estudiantes que desarrollaron las dos modalidades de prácticas de laboratorio, obtuvieron un desempeño satisfactorio en la prueba final donde se pusieron en juego las competencias del curso.

Published: September 2019

Objective:

The genetic variations contributed to a substantial proportion of congenital vertebral
malformations (CVM). SOX9 gene, a member of the SOX gene family, has been implicated in
CVM. To study the SOX9 mutation in CVM patients is of great significance to explain the pathogenesis
of scoliosis (the clinical manifestation of CVM) and to explore the pathogenesis of SOX9-related
skeletal deformities.

Methods:

A total of 50 singleton patients with CVM were included in this study. Exome Sequencing
(ES) was performed on all the patients. The recurrent candidate variant of SOX9 gene was validated
by Sanger sequencing. Luciferase assay was performed to investigate the functional changes of this
variant.

Results:

A recurrent rare heterozygous missense variant in SOX9 gene (NM_000346.3: c.1405A>G,
p.M469V) which had not been reported previously was identified in three CVM patients who had the
clinical findings of congenital scoliosis without deformities in other systems. This variant was absent
from our in-house database and it was predicted to be deleterious (CADD = 24.5). The luciferase assay
demonstrated that transactivation capacity of the mutated SOX9 protein was significantly lower than that
of the wild-type for the two luciferase reporters (p = 0.0202, p = 0.0082, respectively).

Conclusion:

This SOX9 mutation (p.M469V) may contribute to CVM without other systematic
deformity, which provides important implications and better understanding of phenotypic variability
in SOX9-related skeletal deformities.

ABERRANT N-GLYCOSYLATION REGULATES INVASION OF MG-63 CELLS THROUGH EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX REMODELING
Authors: MUSTAFA SARMILA HANIM , MUHAMAD MUDIANA , AB-RAHIM SHARANIZA
Published: September 2019

Objective: Despite advances in multimodal therapy, osteosarcoma (OS) still imposes big challenge due to its high rate of metastasis. The previousstudies reported that aberrant glycosylation in the cells mediates the invasion of several cancers including OS. However, its mechanism, particularlyN-glycosylation in OS progression, is still poorly understood. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effect of glycosylation inhibitions toward OS cellsinvasiveness.Materials and Methods: Both 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) and 1-deoxymannojirimycin (1-DMJ) were used to inhibit the activities ofalpha-glucosidase-I/II and alpha-1,2-mannosidase, respectively. Invasion assay and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (quantitative PCR[qPCR]) analysis of extracellular matrix-related genes were performed at post 24 h of treatment with the inhibitors, 0.5 mM 1-DNJ and 0.5 mM 1-DMJ,respectively, on the OS cell line, MG-63.Results: Results showed that the inhibition of N-glycosylation with 1-DNJ decreases the invasion rate of MG-63 cells while the inhibition ofN-glycosylation by 1-DMJ caused the invasion rate of MG-63 cells to increase. qPCR analysis showed downregulated expression of matrixmetalloproteinase (MMP2) gene in both types of treatments while the expression of its inhibitor, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP2) wasupregulated in both types of treatments. In this study, MMP9 genes were not detected in both samples; however, the expression of its inhibitor, TIMP1was downregulated in MG-63 cells treated with 1-DNJ but upregulated in 1-DMJ treated cells.Conclusion: It is concluded that 1-DNJ reduced the invasion rate in MG-63 cells through downregulation of MMP2 gene which subsequently reduceddegradation of collagen type IV. However, the contrasting effect showed by 1-DMJ requires further investigation to elucidate its underlying mechanism.

Reflexiones sobre el origen de la razón moderna. Algunos historiadores de las ideas en Occidente han propuesto la tesis de la relación estrecha entre la razón moderna y la razón medieval, basada en la confianza en la razón como principio de conocimiento. La diferencia parece centrarse en la autonomía absoluta de la razón pretendida por la modernidad. El autor menciona cuatro temas de la condición moderna: la necesidad de una revelación para el conocimiento del todo; el miedo a la alteridad; la temporalidad como presente histórico, y la vuelta del tiempo escatológico.

Humanidad y medio ambiente. (Consideraciones a partir de la teología)
Authors: Sobrino Miguel Ángel
Published: September 2019

A finales del siglo xx, la humanidad se enfrenta a tres desafíos fundamentales: 1. el que plantea el deterioro de los medios naturales y el desequilibrio ambiental; 2. el que plantea la injusticia en el reparto y consumo de los bienes de la tierra; 3. el riesgo de una planificación estatal o tecnocrática que, en nombre de la libertad y del progreso, acabe por ahogar las libertades de los hombres. En este artículo se aborda fundamentalmente el primero de ellos y su posible respuesta desde el ámbito de la teología cristiana. Se analizan cuatro factores: la contaminación; el agotamiento de los recursos naturales; la carrera armamentista, y la super-población o explosión demográfica. Se señala que, desde una perspectiva cristiana, la liberación del hombre y de la naturaleza van estrechamente unidas y que desconocer o no aceptar esta relación mutua es oponerse al proceso mismo de humanización del hombre.

La relación gobierno-partido en un régimen semicompetitivo. El caso de México
Authors: Cancino César , Alarcón Olguín Víctor
Published: September 2019

Se señala que los cambios que ha experimentado el país desde finales de los ochenta, producto de una sensible crisis de legitimidad del régimen, han motivado una redefinición de las tradicionales formas de relación entre el vértice del gobierno y las élites del partido dominante (Partido Revolucionario Institucional-PRI). Pero, ¿hasta qué punto dichas transformaciones tocan a la estructura corporativa y clientelista constituida en tomo a este partido? y ¿existe realmente un proceso de separación entre el partido oficial y el gobierno?
Interdisciplinariedad: ¿Viejo o nuevo reto?
Authors: Arroyo Pichardo Graciela
Published: September 2019

Siendo un tema ya añejo, hay escasez de trabajos filosóficos sobre la interdisciplinariedad. Hoy en día, los cambios en la naturaleza y en la sociedad exigen respuestas científicas abarcadoras e inmediatas. De lo contrario, la empresa “humanidad” corre peligro. El problema de la interdisciplinariedad se retrotrae y en ocasiones se identifica con el de la unidad de las ciencias. La necesidad de desarrollar un método del “discurso interdisciplinario” es concomitante. En el presente artículo se pretende poner al descubierto la relación que existe entre tales problemas, en donde aparecen de manera recurrente los de la concepción de la realidad y el del papel del hombre, como sujeto y objeto de la historia y del propio quehacer científico.
La angustia social y el nacimiento de dos mitos modernos
Authors: Remus Araico José
Published: September 2019

A la luz de la Antropología social y el Psicoanálisis, se hace la interpretación y se analiza la producción social de dos “mitos modernos” o rumores míticos —uno escuchado en México y otro en Argentina. Los mitos-rumor son producciones pasajeras y emergentes de comunicación social informal desestructurada, fenómenos fugaces cuya forma y estructura externa son cambiantes, como las de los sueños. Los mitos-rumor señalan los momentos traumáticos de la sociedad enfrentada a una crisis; son síntomas de los momentos de cambio y conflicto social de la lucha contra la autoridad, y tienen la función del deseo de protección frente al peligro.
Libertad y libertades-democracia
Authors: Arguedas Sol
Published: September 2019

El derrumbe del socialismo y la conciencia de las desigualdades y represiones del capitalismo llevan a la autora a afirmar que “sin libertad y sin democracia no puede haber socialismo, pero sin socialismo no existirían libertad y democracia verdaderas”. Reflexiona, por ello, en torno a la libertad: ser libre es lograr mayor expresión de sí mismo y mayor comunicación con los demás, mediante la actividad creadora. La libertad es abstracta, variable y subjetiva, pero se objetiva en las libertades concretas que los hombres van conquistando al construir su historia: es el contenido insustituible de la democracia.

El Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte y la crisis de la economía mexicana
Authors: Cristina Rosas María
Published: September 2019

Tres fueron las motivaciones de Estados Unidos para promover el libre comercio en las Américas durante la década de los ochenta, a saber: 1. El creciente regionalismo en la Comunidad Europea, área a la que los estadunidenses destinan, en promedio, el 28 por ciento de sus exportaciones; 2. Las deficiencias en el sistema multilateral de comercio y especialmente en el Acuerdo General sobre Aranceles Aduaneros y Comercio (GATT) para liberalizar los intercambios globales; 3. La posibilidad de volver a corregir los déficit en la balanza comercial de Estados Unidos a través del libre comercio con un grupo reducido de países. Hoy en día esos estímulos son insuficientes para la política comercial de Estados Unidos, por lo que ya se percibe un cierto desencanto en tomo a la Empresa para la Iniciativa de la Américas y la Cumbre de las Américas.
Edison en México: ¿el otro centenario?
Authors: Felipe Leal Juan , Barraza Eduardo
Published: September 2019

Este escrito se refiere a la producción cinematográfica de Thomas Alva Edison y su relación con México. En este año se celebra el primer siglo del cine en el mundo, y esta información facilita una nueva tentativa de respuesta al viejo problema de los orígenes de este espectáculo, en particular su llegada y diseminación por nuestro país. Se ofrece un catálogo completo de las fichas filmográficas disponibles hasta la fecha, de lo producido por la Compañía Edison para el kinetoscopio, el vitascopio y el esteropticón —aparatos de esa firma que se explotaron en las primeras salas de cine nacionales— con temas pretendidamente mexicanos, o de las cintas filmadas efectivamente por agentes de Edison en México entre 1897 y los primeros años de este siglo. Además se ofrecen datos que ayudan a poner en su contexto la información ofrecida.
Exaltación de la diferencia (horizontes americanos)
Authors: Sosnovski Saúl
Published: September 2019

El factor de la memoria —“pensar y recordar el recuerdo"— es considerado como vehículo reconstructor de los elementos de una identidad propia. Asimismo, el autor critica toda tesis que propugne el fin de la historia, de las ideologías o de las utopías, así como a aquellas que ofrecen “superar las distancias y las diferencias”, por ejemplo la llamada globalización tecnificada, misma que debe ser comprendida en su justa dimensión. Son justamente las culturas diferenciadas —con memoria histórica— las que fungen aún como factores de poder en un mundo cada vez más transnacional. El autor adviene también que esta memoria colectiva no es sinónimo de nacionalismo exacerbado, ni de odios étnicos o religiosos. Concluye que los cambios culturales —de identidades— actuales no significan necesariamente la desaparición del sentimiento de pertenencia; antes bien, son un reajuste, y por ende una redefinición, del mismo “en el amplio comercio de las naciones".
El rescate de la utopía
Authors: Reyes Heroles Federico
Published: September 2019

Este artículo aborda la cuestión de la vigencia —o no— del pensamiento utópico a finales del siglo XX. Para hallar una respuesta, el autor realiza un “viaje” a través del significado que las ideologías utópicas han tenido en Occidente. Auxiliado por pensadores de la talla de Isaiah Berlín, Karl Popper, Agnes Heller y Max Horkheimer, entre otros, el autor critica cada uno de los argumentos, postulados, razones y propuestas de la ideología utópica con el fin de entenderla dentro de un marco que de suyo es contradictorio con su espíritu: la modernidad. Concluye defendiendo no sólo la permanencia de las utopías, sino también la necesidad de crear otras nuevas, que sean adecuadas para los finales de este siglo y los principios del siguiente.

Los derechos sociales: retórica y realidad
Authors: Martínez de Pisón José
Published: September 2019

En este artículo se aborda la diferenciación política que entre los llamados “derechos políticos y civiles” y “derechos sociales” se ha suscitado en la última mitad del siglo xx. Iniciando su análisis a partir de la crítica a la división generacional entre ambos tipos de derechos, el autor realiza un recorrido histórico-ideológico que explica los porqués de la pugna entre las cosmovisiones liberal-individualista y social-estatista en lo que a derechos humanos se refiere. A partir de ello, el artículo desglosa las características, propuestas y fundamentaciones de cada uno de estos derechos así como la postura de sus apologistas y detractores. Finalmente, el autor se hace portavoz de los que sostienen que “los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales son tan humanos, universales y fundamentales como los derechos civiles y políticos”.

National Human Resources Development Strategy in the World and Lessons for Vietnam
Authors: Xuan Truong Pham , Anh Tu Thuy
Published: September 2019

Human resource is always a vital driving force for social-economic development of any country in the world. Developing human resource is, therefore, a top priority mission in development policies at every level from the firm scale to the national scale. In order to unify human resource development activities in one form, we need a strategy as a lighthouse to direct them. To the end, human resource will be utilized by firms, hence strategy for human resource development (HRD) must be built and developed at the firm level first. As a result, strategy for HRD at the firm level is studied and applied enormously both in theory and practice. To national level, the concept of national human resource development (NHRD) is still ambiguous and debated strongly among its scholars partially because several countries have not had a clear NHRD plan yet however they still have a high quality of human capital. Besides that, there are a lot of countries which are successful in putting forward and implementing clear strategies of NHRD. The article will examine these strategies and from this draw necessary lessons for Vietnam, a country looking for a complete and efficient strategy of NHRD.

New Dynamics of Risk and Responsibility: Expanding the Vision for Accident Compensation
Authors: Gaskins Richard
Published: September 2019

A holistic approach towards risk management must recognise the interconnectedness of economic and social structures. In this article, Gaskins focuses on the concept of “network societies”, which look to increase communication and organisation within their sphere of influence. While recognising that networks have the ability to regulate the distribution of risk across economic groups in society, Gaskins highlights the potential for networks to displace risk onto vulnerable sectors, thus essentially increasing risk levels for those outside the network. In the realm of health and safety, this can push the responsibility for occupational accidents onto already burdened families and communities. The development of the ACC system in New Zealand originally embraced a coherent approach to risk management. Gaskins argues that this approach has become displaced, and should be reestablished as the foundation of the ACC system. This article does not attempt to prescribe a way forward for ACC, but rather aims to highlight areas of particular concern, which require consideration in relation to the further development and advancement of ACC in New Zealand.
