NUEVOS PROBLEMAS Y VIEJOS DESAFÍOS DE LA EJECUCIÓN PENAL EN COSTA RICA: LA ACTUACIÓN DE LOS JUECES A PROPÓSITO DE LAS ÓRDENES PARA ATENDER EL COVID-19 EN LAS CÁRCELES
Authors: Feoli Villalobos Marco , Mora Bolaños José Daniel
Published: June 2023

Aprovechando las decisiones tomadas en Costa Rica por un grupo de jueces, en el marco de la pandemia global por el Covid-19, este paper analiza la situación de la ejecución penal para personas adultas en el país. Más allá de que las disposiciones jurisdiccionales levantaran cierta polémica entre algunos sectores políticos y mediáticos, desde el punto de vista constitucional, adquieren una enorme relevancia que merece ser tratada con detenimiento. Contrario a lo que ocurre en casi todos los ordenamientos jurídicos, en Costa Rica, se carece de una ley de ejecución de la pena para personas adultas. Esto es así pese a que, en 1994, una reforma legislativa ordenó que el tema debía ser regulado mediante una ley especial de conformidad con un voto de la Sala Constitucional de 1992, debido a que, desde la promulgación del Código Penal en 1970, se carecía de dicha regulación. En 2015, el tribunal constitucional reiteró que la normativa era necesaria y dispuso que la Asamblea Legislativa tenía la obligación de discutirla y votarla. En la actualidad, algunas competencias, administrativas y judiciales, se han regulado vía decreto ejecutivo o gracias a las propias decisiones jurisdiccionales. Algunas propuestas de ley de ejecución de la pena han sido tramitadas en el Congreso, pero hasta ahora ninguna de ellas ha prosperado. En este sentido, en el artículo se analizarán las implicaciones constitucionales que supone la ausencia de una ley de ejecución penal para personas adultas con arreglo al principio de reserva de ley. También los límites que podrían atribuirse a los jueces de ejecución de la pena y el rol que están desempeñando, de acuerdo a conceptos desarrollados por el derecho constitucional y la ciencia política –como neoconstitucionalismo o activismo judicial- a partir del caso concreto, por la emergencia epidemiológica de 2020, en la protección de principios constitucionales, como el de tutela judicial efectiva, el de humanidad y el de prohibición de tratos o penas crueles y degradantes, entre otros.

Sound patterns, frequency and predictability in inflection
Authors: Cser András
Published: June 2023

The paper investigates the relations between phonological form and information content within Latin verbal inflection from two interrelated points of view. It looks at conditional entropy relations within the present paradigm to see how these relate to the textual frequency of the individual forms; and it seeks to answer the question to what extent the phonological form of stems and endings has the potential to lead to ambiguity in morphological marking. The latter issue is approached from the angle of the information content that word forms taken in themselves have about their morphological status. The broader question of potential ambiguity is broken down into two separate questions: one concerns stems where intra-paradigmatic ambiguity would be possible; the other concerns stems that include phonological material that could itself be interpreted as a morphological marker. The absence of potential ambiguity in the first sense, and its severe restriction in the second sense is interpreted here as an emergent mechanism to enhance the information content of verb forms.

RESUMO Neste artigo está em julgamento a lei da tradução. A nossa linha de defesa se baseia em dois textos: O que é uma tradução relevante? (DERRIDA, 2000) e O mercador de Veneza (SHAKESPEARE, 2013, 2018). Tudo na peça de Shakespeare se deixa traduzir como questões de tradução, como, por exemplo, os temas do juramento, da economia e da equidade. Isso se esse texto for interpretado pela lei de Derrida (2000). Ao acarear as duas partes, no primeiro ato, expomos a cena [jurídica] da tradução, explorando as metáforas e contratos realizados na obra de Shakespeare. No segundo ato, comprometemos nossa apreciação do caso ao reencenar, ou melhor, traduzir, de forma econômica, O mercador de Veneza. Representamos, nesse momento, a própria lei da tradução. Já no terceiro ato, esmiuçamos os aspectos intrínsecos a essa lei e seu ponto de ruína. Por todo o exposto, sentenciamos que a promessa de toda tradução resulta em dívida, que não pode ser quitada por isonomia. E ainda assim, triunfa.

Authors: Chang Hyung-ji
Published: June 2023

The present study aimed at investigating AI chatbot-based Tourism English instruction for college students to develop their intercultural communicative competence. For the study, two distinctive models of AI based educational approach were proposed; learning with AI (LWAI) and learning about AI (LAAI). A total of 50 Tourism English 3 learners with the model of LWAI were assigned to conduct a conversation with the chatbot during the semester, while 20 Tourism English 6 learners with the model of LAAI were asked to build a hotel English chatbot. In LWAI, the collected chatbot conversation reports were analyzed in terms of task completion rates. It was found that the chatbot conversations mostly involved small talk rather than problem-solving tasks. In LAAI, Tourism English learners collected English for hotel reservations and coded data into the hotel English chatbot with the help of computer engineering students. As a result of a team project, the hotel English chatbot building was successful. Lastly, there was an increase in participants’ intercultural communicative competence in terms of respect for cultural differences and interaction attentiveness. In short, the present study showed that the AI chatbot-based Tourism English instruction had a positive effect on the development of intercultural communicative competence.

Authors: Jin Seunghee
Published: June 2023

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of employing the metaverse platform Gather for shadowing practice using TED Talks, focusing on the development of oral proficiency and affective attitudes among Korean EFL learners. A total of 49 college students participated, divided into two experimental groups. Group 1 (n = 24) engaged in shadowing practice on Gather, while group 2 (n = 25) partook in the same shadowing activities in a traditional classroom. Data collection involved pre- and post-speaking tasks and pre- and post-questionnaires assessing affective attitudes. The results revealed significant improvements in speaking skills for both groups, with group 1 demonstrating a higher degree of effectiveness. Furthermore, participants in both groups exhibited increased interest, motivation, and confidence levels. However, a notable difference emerged in anxiety levels, as the students in group one displayed a significant decrease in speaking anxiety, while those in group two showed no improvement in speaking anxiety after participating in the study. The findings indicate that integrating Gather for shadowing practice can effectively enhance Korean EFL learners’ oral proficiency and positively influence their affective attitudes toward language learning. The study contributes to the growing body of research on the potential of metaverse platforms as alternative learning environments for language instruction.

Possessor raising and structural variations within the vP domain
Authors: Rodrigues Cilene , Rodrigues Cilene
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we analyze external possessors in Brazilian Portuguese, showing that those realizing Nominative-Case (Nominative-possessors) are not syntactically uniform, varying derivationally. These variations are related to the vP internal structure. In agentive argument structures, Nominative-possessors are licensed in obligatory control configurations. Non-agentive argument structures give rise to raising configurations. In turn, raising configurations are not syntactically uniform either. Unaccusative vPs, differently from inchoative ones, contain a dative position at the vP edge. This position is used as an intermediate landing site for the raised Nominative-possessor. Importantly, a copy of a possessor in this intermediate position alters information structure at LF, having three interpretative effects: (a) affectedness: the possessor is interpreted as being affected by the denoted event, (b) presupposition of existence: the possessor must be an existent entity, and (b) contextual confinement: the possessor-possessum is interpreted as an integral part-whole at the event time.

Aile, toplumun en küçük sosyal birimi ve toplumu ayakta tutan en önemli parçasıdır. Bu kurum, kadın ve erkek arasında akdedilen nikâhla başlamaktadır. Bu nikâh akdinin gerek ülkemizde yürürlülükte olan Medeni Hukukun gerekse İslam Hukukunun belirlediği ölçü ve usullere uygun olması gereklidir. Zira hukuken geçerli olabilmesi için medeni hukukun belirlediği ölçü ve usullere, dinen geçerli olabilmesi için de İslam Hukukunun belirlediği ölçü ve usullere uygun olması gerekir. Burada Medeni hukuk ile İslam Hukukunun ayrı tutulmasının temelinde Medeni hukukun nikâh akdiyle ilgili belirlediği kriterlerin İslam Hukukunun belirlediği kriterleri tamamen kapsamaması yatmaktadır. Bundan dolayı sadece ülkemizde yürürlükte olan Medeni hukuka göre akdedilen nikâh akdi İslam hukukuna göre sıkıntılıdır. Bu çalışmada bu iki hukukun nikâh akdiyle ilgili belirledikleri ölçü ve usuller mukayese edilmiştir.
Roles of Trimethylamine-N-oxide in Atherosclerosis and Its Potential Therapeutic Aspect: A Literature Review
Authors: Oktaviono Yudi Her , Dyah Lamara Ariikah , Saputra Pandit Bagus Tri , Arnindita Jannatin Nisa , Pasahari Diar , Saputra Mahendra Eko , Suasti Ni Made Adnya
Published: June 2023

Current research supports the evidence that the gut microbiome (GM), which consist of gut microbiota and their biologically active metabolites, is associated with atherosclerosis development. Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), a metabolite produced by the GM through trimethylamine (TMA) oxidation, significantly enhances the formation and vulnerability of atherosclerotic plaques. TMAO promotes inflammation and oxidative stress in endothelial cells, leading to vascular dysfunction and plaque formation. Dimethyl-1-butanol (DMB), iodomethylcholine (IMC) and fluoromethylcholine (FMC) have been recognized for their ability to reduce plasma TMAO by inhibiting trimethylamine lyase, a bacterial enzyme involved in the choline cleavage anaerobic process, thus reducing TMA formation. Conversely, indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and trigonelline inhibit TMA oxidation by inhibiting flavin-containing monooxygenase-3 (FMO3), resulting in reduced plasma TMAO. The combined use of inhibitors of choline trimethylamine lyase and flavin-containing monooxygenase-3 could provide novel therapeutic strategies for cardiovascular disease prevention by stabilizing existing atherosclerotic plaques. This review aims to present the current evidence of the roles of TMA/TMAO in atherosclerosis as well as its potential therapeutic prevention aspects.

The paper discusses the details of the application of the method of fluid substitution which is used for predicting elastic properties of reservoir rocks and their dependence on pore fluid and porosity. This method makes it possible to predict changes in elastic response of a rock saturation with different fluids. The main task of this paper was to study the productive zones of the visean deposits of the Yablunivske field using the example of a single well. The integration of petrophysics and rock physics (Gassmann fluid substitution) was applied to sandstones with intergranular porosity. The objective of the study was to use petrophysical dependences, cross-plots and Gassmann fluid substitution modelling to determine the effect of different pore fluids (brine, oil, gas) on acoustic properties (compressional velocity, shear velocity, density). It was established that the sandstone is a predominant type of reservoir of the considered rocks. The effect of fluid substitution on elastic properties was determined as a result of the implementation of Gasman's technique. The compressional velocity and density decreased, shear velocity slightly increased when brine was substituted with gas for the formed models. Limit values of acoustic impedance and Vp/Vs have been established for the water saturated and hydrocarbon saturated strata of the V-20 – V-22 horizons. It can be used for the drilling new wells of the Yablunivske field creating elastic reservoir rock models.

The article provides modelling aimed at the management system design for the rational extraction and use of mineral resources of Ukraine applying the case of construction non-metallic minerals to ensure the country's post-war recovery. The projection volumes for production and rational use formed taking into account the needs of technologically related industries have been suggested. The official statistical data analysis on the production volumes of construction stone, construction sand and expanded clay raw materials during the studied period (15 years) have been carried out. It has been found out that indicators' fluctuations both in production volumes and their growth rates have a periodic, cyclical nature. They are correlated and related to the general economic condition of the construction industry and the country. It has been proven that solving the problem of minerals rational use is possible through their balanced extraction, namely putting correlation between extraction and utilization volumes. The authors' economic-mathematical model of forecasting the development of complex systems has been used to forecast industry's development. It has been proven that the model will allow managing the production of technologically related minerals depending on their utilization volumes.

It has been proven that amid war conditions due to the destruction of the country's infrastructure, there is a need to make model adjustments for balanced extraction and use of construction non-metallic minerals, taking into account generated construction waste and the needs of the post-war country's and its infrastructure's recovery. Modelling was carried out taking into account the new conditions of the industry's and the country's development. A five-year forecast has been made for the production and utilization of construction sand, construction stone and expanded clay.

Analysis of Compressed Sensing for Efficient Signal Acquisition and Reconstruction
Authors: Dhiman Neeraj
Published: June 2023

In a variety of industries, including image processing, signal processing, and communications, compressed sensing (CS) has emerged as a viable technique for effective signal capture and reconstruction. The core idea of CS is the capacity to collect and represent signals with much fewer measurements than conventional Nyquist-Shannon sampling theory demands. With the help of CS, precise signal reconstruction is possible from a heavily subsampled set of measurements by taking advantage of the inherent sparsity or compressibility of many natural signals.Compressed sensing for effective signal capture and reconstruction is examined in this research. The fundamental ideas and mathematical foundation of computational science are introduced first, with an emphasis on the crucial elements of the sensing, sparse representation, and reconstruction methods. We address several measuring techniques and their effects on signal recovery performance, including random sensing matrices and structured sensing matrices.We explore ideas like the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP), coherence, and incoherence requirements as we delve into the mathematical features and theoretical guarantees of CS. We examine the trade-off between the degree of signal sparsity and the quantity of measurements necessary for precise reconstruction, elucidating the constraints and practical considerations of CS-based systems.The examination of compressed sensing for effective signal capture and reconstruction is detailed in this paper. We highlight the promise of CS as a formidable paradigm for getting beyond the drawbacks of conventional signal capture techniques by carefully examining the underlying concepts, mathematical aspects, reconstruction algorithms, and applications. CS has the potential to revolutionise numerous fields and offer up new paths for effective data processing and transmission by enabling efficient sampling and reconstruction.

Data migration from SQL to NoSQL using snapshot- Livestream migration
Authors: Panwar Avnish
Published: June 2023

The process of moving data from a source database to a destination database is known as data migration. For a variety of reasons, including higher data handling capacity, improved speed, and scalability, many businesses are choosing to convert their databases from one kind (e.g., RDBMS) to another (e.g., NoSQL). Sqoop [3], mongoimport [2], and mongify [1] are a few techniques and technologies that have been developed to help with this transition from RDBMS to NoSQL databases. NoSQL databases use different models, as opposed to the relational model employed by RDBMS, including document, graph, and key-value. Large data volumes were the main focus of the design of NoSQL databases. The database migration model we provide in this paper can effectively transfer both real-time and historical data in parallel. Our Java-based model focuses on transferring data from MongoDB, a document-oriented NoSQL database, to MySQL, an RDBMS. The prototype we created can migrate both live data and a snapshot of the database at a particular moment in time simultaneously. Our experimental evaluation shows that, in terms of performance for both snapshot and live data migration, our model beats competing approaches.

The external characteristics of a tree give the only clue to the quality of veneer log obtained in harvesting. When the tree is bucked into veneer logs, the cross sections at the butt and top ends of these assortments may provide additional indicators of the quality. Thus, it becomes important to study the abnormalities that can be seen on the end surface of the veneer logs such as heart shakes, and to correlate the occurrence of these imperfections with the quality of veneer that is produced from the veneer log.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to: (1) identify and measure heart shakes length, width and depth in wood in all investigated veneer logs diameter groups: 180-249mm; 250-299mm, 300mm in the period of storage, (2) identify the factors that  could initiate heart shakes in veneer logs  in the period of storage (number of storage days, weather temperature, moon phases, relative humidity) in all diameter ranges, (3) by analysing the results to work out  the recommendations  to improve  the  forest management in forest stands when veneer logs are manufactured.

The research looks into the potential of generating biogas from waste generated by aquaculture. The EDF-5.4_2 bioreactor, produced by "Biotehniskais centrs" (Latvia), was utilized for the experimental study. Samples of sludge from a fish farm located in Nagļu parish, Rēzekne district were collected and analysed for their moisture and organic matter content before being mixed with crushed reeds to increase the organic matter available for fermentation and biogas extraction.In this study, biogas was produced by mixing different ratios of sludge and reed residue. The yield of biogas varied based on the temperature, with the best results being achieved at 40°C. During the experiment, 2.75 L of biogas containing 37.3% methane was produced from the mixture of 1,200 g of fish farming sludge and 100 g of crushed reeds. Although the highest methane content of 40.16% was recorded at 43°C, the total amount of biogas produced was lower by 15% at this temperature.The least favourable results were recorded at 37°C, in terms of both the amount of biogas produced and the methane content. The experimental studies demonstrate that residues from aquaculture can be used for biogas production.

Field trials with the two potato variety were carried out in sod stagnogley soil. Soil agrochemical parameters: pHKCl 6.7 organic matter (OV) content in soil 2.3%, phosphorus (P2O5) content - 149 mg kg-1 and potassium (K2O) content - 200 mg kg-1 in soil. Potato plantations were created using different variants of fertilizer mix with pig (from SIA “Latvi Dan Agro”) and cattle (from SIA “Ziedi JP”) manure digestate and wood ash (from SIA“Gren Jelgava”) in different ratio (digestate :wood ash ratio used: 4:1and 3:1). The rates of innovative mixed fertilizer for pig and cattle manure digestates for potatoes were 15 and 30 t ha-1. Both norms for digestate manure from pure pigs and cattle were used as control options. The potato production norm was 3.0 t ha-1. The placement of the variants in the trial was randomized, in triplicate. In the study, the two types of fertilizer had different effects on potato tuber yield. Using mixtures of pig manure digestate and wood ash in different ratios, the average yield was 34.2 t ha-1, but using mixtures of cattle manure digestate and wood ash, the average yield was 27.8 t ha-1. In the studied variants, its content in potato dry matter varied in the range of 9.15-11.42%. The amount of dry matter affects the culinary properties of the tubers. The application of fertilizer mixtures increased the dry matter content by an average of 1.7–2.7%. Fertilizer variants with higher tuber yield or higher starch content provided the highest starch yield.  In general, the use of mixtures of wood ash and biogas digestate to fertilize crops and improve soil fertility can be an efficient way to process both products and can be an environmentally friendly alternative to fertilizers. The objective of the research was to study the influence of digestate and wood ash mixtures fertilizer rates on potato productivity and quality.
