Recursos vegetales y tecnofacturas en el sitio arqueológico Cueva Salamanca 1, Antofagasta de la Sierra, Catamarca, Puna sur
Authors: Rodríguez María Fernanda
Published: May 2024

Esta investigación contribuye a la reconstrucción del conocimiento y la dinámica del uso de espacios con recursos vegetales, a escala regional, entre 8100 y 4500 años AP en la Puna sur de la Argentina, teniendo en cuenta que durante este período, que corresponde al Holoceno Medio, hubo cambios climáticos que afectaron la distribución y la densidad de parches de recursos y de áreas óptimas/no óptimas o marginales. El Holoceno se caracteriza en la Puna por una marcada aridez que se profundiza en el mencionado lapso, de ahí que se hayan producido cambios vinculados con la distribución de los recursos vegetales. Enmarcado en esta perspectiva, este trabajo se centra en el sitio Cueva Salamanca 1 ubicado en el curso medio-inferior del Río Las Pitas, microrregión de Antofagasta de la Sierra, Catamarca. El objetivo general es continuar el análisis de la confección de tecnofacturas en dicho sitio haciendo hincapié en las áreas de captación y la procedencia de los recursos empleados como materia prima. El conocimiento de las especies utilizadas y su procedencia determinaron los pasos a seguir desde el punto de vista metodológico: prospecciones en torno al sitio arqueológico, colección e identificación de las especies vegetales que se desarrollan en el área, identificación de las especies arqueológicas mediante estudios de anatomía comparada en relación con los taxones actuales presentes en el área, recurriendo al Herbario SI para la determinación de especies no locales.
La protección del medio ambiente y el desafío climático. 50 años después de la Declaración de Estocolmo
Authors: Fajardo del Castillo Teresa
Published: May 2024

Este libro arranca con el 50 aniversario de la Declaración de Estocolmo sobre el Medio Humano de 1972 porque fue el comienzo de todo: de la toma de conciencia colectiva de los problemas ambientales que sufría el planeta como consecuencia del modelo de desarrollo humano y, también, de la adopción de normas y de principios internacionales para la protección y la conservación del medio ambiente. 50 años después esta Declaración de Estocolmo sigue siendo una propuesta de futuro, porque sus proclamaciones más visionarias y sus principios son aún la fórmula para salvar el planeta. Por ello, esta Declaración de Estocolmo es el hilo conductor de una reflexión sobre los retos que plantean las crisis planetarias: el cambio climático, la pérdida de biodiversidad y la contaminación, y sobre las soluciones que puede aportar el Derecho Internacional del Medio Ambiente. A partir de estos retos y soluciones, el libro se estructura en diez capítulos que abordan cómo Hacer las paces con la naturaleza gracias a la sostenibilidad, cuáles son los Desafíos normativos del Derecho Internacional del Medio ambiente, y si es posible conseguir una Gobernanza Internacional por Principios y un Estado de Derecho Ambiental en un nuevo orden internacional en el que los Estados han perdido interés por los tratados internacionales y prefieren los instrumentos de soft law. Así, el nuevo Derecho Humano a un Medio ambiente limpio, saludable y sostenible ha sido proclamado en la Resolución 76/300 de la Asamblea General que fue adoptada tras la Reunión de Estocolmo+50, todavía con un enfoque antropocéntrico. Ya en los últimos capítulos, se plantea la necesidad de conseguir una organización internacional del medio ambiente y de luchar con fórmulas propias contra el daño ambiental, y se cuestiona si el Derecho internacional penal del medio ambiente y el crimen de ecocidio pueden ser el último recurso para resolver la falta de aplicación y cumplimiento del Derecho Internacional del Medio Ambiente. En las conclusiones, se presenta el futuro que los Estados y los actores de la sociedad civil internacional imaginan para el medio ambiente y el desafío climático.
La madre obrera. Un callejón sin salida (1873-1936)
Authors: Díaz Moya Rafael
Published: May 2024

La encrucijada en la que se encontraba la mujer trabajadora, en el período analizado desde 1873 hasta el inicio de la Guerra Civil, fue una limitación a su trabajo desde todos los frentes posibles: desde el parlamentarismo, justificando su negativa a la incorporación al trabajo en “aras al cuidado de su salud” para protegerla de su misión primordial que era la de ser madre; de los patronos, en su insistencia permanente para que no prosperase el aseguramiento de la obrera con el fin de eliminar costes salariales; de los medios escritos, en su burla por el trabajo femenino con motivo de algunas normativas como la “Ley de Silla”; de los sucesivos Gobiernos, al posicionarse en contra de las instituciones de previsión con tal de no aprobar sus recomendaciones hacia la obrera; de la Iglesia, en su insistencia a encaminar a la mujer hacia posicionamientos católicos y conservadores alejados de una cosmovisión de ciudadanía; de los sindicatos, en su obstinación en la obligatoriedad del pago de múltiples primas a las madres trabajadoras, a pesar de no luchar por sus derechos; y de los propios varones, que se negaban al trabajo de la mujer. Todo este entramado estaba en consonancia para conseguir el fundamento principal de su anulación en el paso a la sociedad-Estado consistente en evitar el derecho a su participación política mediante la negativa a su incorporación laboral fuera del ámbito doméstico. El único apoyo consistió en unos pocos burgueses integrantes de la Institución Libre de Enseñana, como Concepción Arenal, pionera en la defensa de los derechos para los más necesitados y de la educación para la mujer, krausistas como Adolfo Posada o algún católico social como el zaragozano Inocencio Jiménez.

Published: May 2024

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) constitute a significant portion of the economy in many developing countries, playing a vital role in employment generation and economic growth. Sales performance is a critical factor for MSMEs, influenced by various internal and external factors. Time-series analysis offers a valuable tool to predict sales quantities by analyzing historical data and identifying patterns and trends. In this context, the SARIMAX (Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average with Exogenous Variables) model emerges as a suitable method to forecast future sales, leveraging both historical data and external variables. This research explores the synergy between time-series analysis, specifically SARIMAX modeling, and MLOps (Machine Learning Operations). Finally, this research aims to provide a framework for the practical application of MLOps to enhance sales forecasting and decision-making processes within MSMEs, fostering their growth and sustainability in a competitive market landscape.

It comprises 25% of the total number of the urban flora species. Following groups prevail in ecological, geographical, life forms and coenotic spectra of the alien fraction of the urban flora: submesophytes, those of Mediterranean origin, annual, ruderal plants. After its taxonomic structure the studied urban flora is similar to the zonal flora of Polissya, but has closer relations to the flora of the ancient Mediterranean area due to its synanthropization.
Flora of the Regional Landscape Park “Lysa Gora”: a preliminary analysis and management approaches
Authors: Parnikoza Ivan , Grechyshkina Yuliia
Published: May 2024

The Regional Landscape Park (RLP) “Lysa Gora” is located in the southeastern part of the city of Kyiv, at the border of the forest and forest-steppe physiographic and vegetation zones. During 100 years, “Lysa Gora” was a restricted-access military zone, which in fact saved its unique biodiversity. The native flora of the RLP “Lysa Gora” consists of at least 352 species of vascular plants belonging to 245 genera and 75 families. In the taxonomical structure the leading roles are played by the families Poaceae (34 species), Asteraceae (32), Fabaceae (26), Rosaceae (20) and Lamiaceae (20). The non-native flora consists of at least 77 species of vascular plants belonging to 63 genera and 29 families (ca. 20% of the total flora). A comprehensive analysis of the native and non-native flora is provided. The stable component of the flora consists of 54 species from 47 genera and 23 families. Epoecophytes (47 species, 61%) greatly prevail. The percentage of archaeophytes (ca. 30%) is lower than that of kenophytes (ca. 70%). Leading roles are played by species native to North America (18, 23%) and the Mediterranean-Central Asian regions (12, 15.5%). Main routes of invasion of non-native species are railway lines coming close to “Lysa Gora” from two sides. Additional hotspots of non-native species are spontaneous garbage dumps. An efficient management system is needed for preventing and restricting further invasions in “Lysa Gora”.
UNVEILING THE IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL RISKS ON TURKISH ECONOMY AND FISCAL DYNAMICS
Authors: Kasal Süleyman
Published: May 2024

This research aims to examine the impact of geopolitical risks on Türkiye's trade openness, household consumption, investment, government debt, and budget deficit for the quarters 2006:I–2022:IV. There are no empirical studies in the literature that examine the relationship between geopolitical risks and Turkish fiscal policy. The vector autoregressive (VAR) approach is utilized to examine the relationships among the variables. Geopolitical risks contribute to a very serious increase in inflation in Türkiye. The increase in geopolitical risks negatively affects consumption and investment and increases budget deficits and government debt. Additionally, Türkiye's trade volume has also decreased as a result of rising geopolitical risks, according to the VAR model's results. These findings demonstrate how vulnerable the Turkish economy is to geopolitical risks. Succinctly, Türkiye's public finances and economy are negatively impacted by geopolitical risks according to the analysis's findings. As a matter of fact, taking precautionary fiscal policy measures against geopolitical risks is important in eliminating the fiscal and economic losses that may arise. In this respect, this study has the potential to make a new contribution to the fiscal policy literature and to guide fiscal policy makers.

Authors:   Dr BR Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, Mir Ajaz Ahmad , Patel Mahesh ,   Dr BR Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar
Published: May 2024

The hydrological channel networks of the steep mountains are extensively designated and organized geographic systems and are very complicated. They are composed of granular beds that are uneven and are subjected to fluid forces that fluctuate spatially and temporally. The flow and movement of sediment in these streams are significantly shaped by large rocks such as boulders. However, it is difficult to comprehend these mountain streams because significant information is unavailable regarding these channels as compared to plane bed streams. To address this issue, a critical review of the numerical, computational fluid dynamics, and machine learning mechanisms underlying sediment transport across different flow conditions in steep channels is presented while considering the current and foreseeable conditions for various sediment transport phenomena. The present study emphasized to carry out further analysis on these steep channels using advanced available techniques to get an insight into the morphology of these channels. Furthermore, the hazards associated with steep mountain channels are reviewed as they have a significant impact on infrastructure and habitation in mountainous regions.

Introduction

Thyroid hormones have systemic effects on the human body and play a key role in the development and function of virtually all tissues. They are regulated via the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis and have a heritable component. Using genetic information, we applied tissue-specific transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) and plasma proteome-wide association studies (PWAS) to elucidate gene products related to thyrotropin (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) levels.

Results

TWAS identified 297 and 113 transcripts associated with TSH and FT4 levels, respectively (25 shared), including transcripts not identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of these traits, demonstrating the increased power of this approach. Testing for genetic colocalization revealed a shared genetic basis of 158 transcripts with TSH and 45 transcripts with FT4, including independent, FT4-associated genetic signals within the CAPZB locus that were differentially associated with CAPZB expression in different tissues. PWAS identified 18 and ten proteins associated with TSH and FT4, respectively (HEXIM1 and QSOX2 with both). Among these, the cognate genes of five TSH- and 7 FT4-associated proteins mapped outside significant GWAS loci. Colocalization was observed for five plasma proteins each with TSH and FT4. There were ten TSH and one FT4-related gene(s) significant in both TWAS and PWAS. Of these, ANXA5 expression and plasma annexin A5 levels were inversely associated with TSH (PWAS: P = 1.18 × 10−13, TWAS: P = 7.61 × 10−12 (whole blood), P = 6.40 × 10−13 (hypothalamus), P = 1.57 × 10−15 (pituitary), P = 4.27 × 10−15 (thyroid)), supported by colocalizations.

Conclusion

Our analyses revealed new thyroid function-associated genes and prioritized candidates in known GWAS loci, contributing to a better understanding of transcriptional regulation and protein levels relevant to thyroid function.

This paper shows quantitative research regarding knowledge, soft & hard skills, and experience acquired by students hired by a University Software Development Company (USDC). Additionally, suggestions regarding how to set up a USDC in an academic environment, facing real customers, are shown. There have been good and bad experiences, both will be presented in this paper. Furthermore, students' perceptions will be discussed. To identify students’ perceptions a questionnaire (survey) was applied. Its reliability was calculated through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α =.89). Additionally, the Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated (r) in order to identify questions that should be deleted to increase the questionnaire’s reliability. Outcomes could be useful when a software engineering faculty wishes to set up a USDC.

Published: May 2024

This study proposes a machine learning approach to automatically detect "appeal to emotion" fallacies. The objective is to establish a set of elements that enable the application of fallacy mining. Our method uses a lexicon of emotions to distinguish valid arguments from fallacies, employing Support Vector Machine and Multilayer Perceptron models. The Multilayer Perceptron obtained an F1 score of 0.60 in identifying fallacies. Based on our analysis, we suggest using lexical dictionaries to effectively identify "appeal to emotion" fallacies.
Application of Entropy for Modular Code Error Detection in Reliable Distributed Storage Systems
Authors: Kuchukov Viktor Andreevich
Published: May 2024

The paper considers the problem of error detection and localization of modular code. The polynomial residue number system represents the input number as a set of polynomials over the finite field GF(2m), which are residues from dividing the original polynomial by a set of irreducible polynomials. The introduction of redundant moduli provides the required corrective capability of the noise-tolerant code. The application of entropy for error detection of a polynomial residue number system, error correction of which is performed by the maximum likelihood method, is considered. In the residue number system, a number is represented as residues from division by a set of mutually prime numbers. An approach to error detection through entropy is proposed for the residue number system, which allows to detect errors of higher multiplicity compared to the classical approach. The maximum likelihood and projection methods are considered for error correction. The introduced constraints on the control modulo allowed us to detect not only all single errors on working moduli, but also a number of errors on two moduli. A computational experiment was carried out to investigate the corrective abilities for three sets of moduli {3, 5, 7, 8}, {3, 5, 7, 37}, {3, 5, 7, 71}. A reliable distributed storage system is proposed to detect and correct errors that occur when data is ingested from clouds.

Authors: Lin Haiyang , Sun Yingying , Hu Bingying , Fang Jinjun , Ge Zhen , He Zhisheng , Wei Yang
Published: May 2024

SZJ-1207 is a natural product extracted from Stephanotis mucronata (Blanco) Merr which has significant antidepressant effects in various depression mouse models, without obvious acute toxicity or sedative-hypnotic side effects. The aim of this study was to preliminarily clarify the pharmacokinetic characteristics of SZJ-1207 in rats after a single intragastric and intravenous administration. In this study, sensitive and reliable UPLC-MS/MS quantification methods were established and then successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of SZJ-1207 in rats. The linear range of SZJ-1207 were 0.5–400 ng mL−1 in plasma, feaces, bile and 20–4,000 ng mL−1 in urine, respectively (r > 0.99). All methods met the requirements of ICH M10. The results of pharmaconetic study showed that Cmax, AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-∞) had linear relationships with the administered doses in the range of 0.5–4.5 mg kg−1. There was a significant gender difference in the AUC (0-t) of 0.5 and 1.5 mg kg−1 and Cmax of 1.5 mg kg−1 after ig (P < 0.05). The excretion rates of SZJ-1207 were 8.46 ± 4.82% in feces, 1.89 ± 1.08% in urine, and 0.179 ± 0.118% in bile. The oral absolute bioavailability of SZJ-1207 was calculated as 64.64%.
Non-hallucinogenic psychedelic psychotherapy: Decreasing risk and increasing access, or missing the point?
Authors: Pashdag Joanna
Published: May 2024

Over the past decade, numerous open-label studies and early clinical trials have shown that psychedelics hold promise for the fast and possibly lasting relief of a wide range of conditions ranging from major depressive disorder, end-of-life anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder to smoking, alcohol use, and eating disorders. Among the questions still to be resolved in this endeavor are questions related to the importance of the metaphysical and phenomenological aspects of the psychedelic experience. Are the hallucinatory experiences engendered by classical psychedelics necessary to their therapeutic action, or could a trip that doesn't go anywhere have the same effect on depression and other conditions? This commentary considers the value of the phenomenological psychedelic experience and asks the larger question, what are any of our phenomenological experiences for?
Challenging the Gates: Religious Freedom and Access in South Africa's Theology Faculties
Authors: Thinane Jonas Sello
Published: May 2024

The location, acceptance, and tolerance of religious education in public spaces have been fiercely debated since South Africa’s democratic transition in 1994. As a result, South Africa’s constitution now guarantees religious freedom in all public places, including educational institutions. The primary question is, however, how much do these public universities’ theological and religious faculties guarantee that all religious or faith traditions have equal access to their curricula? Simply put, this article examines the theological and religious education programs at universities such as the University of the Free State (UFS), North-West University (NWU), Stellenbosch University (SU), and University of Pretoria (UP) and asks whether they promote justice to the extent that they incorporate all faith traditions into their curricula. Given this, the paper posits that the majority of religious communities are not sufficiently represented in the curricula of South African public universities’ theological and religious faculties. It then advocates, as a practical measure, the establishment of the theological-religious ombudsman to guarantee that students of all faiths have equitable access to theological and religious curricula at South African public universities.
«En el nombre de la belleza»: El «pulchrum» como esplendor, don y camino en Karol Wojtyla/Juan Pablo II
Authors: Pardo Alejandro
Published: May 2024

A lo largo de su trayectoria académica y magisterial la referencia de Karol Wojtyla/Juan Pablo II a los tres trascendentales –el verum, el bonum y el pulchrum– ha sido constante. Este artículo expone el pensamiento del papa Wojtyla en torno a la belleza desde una triple perspectiva: en primer lugar, la belleza como esplendor, tanto de la gloria de Dios como de la verdad y el bien. En segundo lugar, la belleza como don o participación, manifestada en el caso del genio creativo y del amor humano. Finalmente, y como síntesis de las dos anteriores, la belleza como camino para adentrarse en el misterio del hombre, del mundo y de Dios (la via pulchritudinis).
El cuerpo como problema: ideología de género y transhumanismo
Authors: Martínez-Guisasola José-Manuel , González-Melado Fermín-Jesús
Published: May 2024

En la segunda mitad del s. XX surgen dos ideologías, con un origen distinto, pero que comparten algunos elementos comunes: la ideología de género y el transhumanismo. Las dos buscan la plenitud del género humano y se proponen como verdaderos humanismos. La primera luchando por la abolición del sexo en función del género. La segunda buscando la superación de todos los límites humanos y de las características no deseadas como sufrimiento, enfermedad, envejecimiento e incluso la muerte. Ambas comparten varias características comunes, pero quizás la más llamativa antropológicamente sea la consideración del cuerpo como un problema a resolver. Este artículo pretende analizar la realidad del cuerpo que se presenta en estas dos ideologías como algo de lo que hay que emanciparse para conseguir la plenitud. Mostraremos las incongruencias antropológicas de estas ideologías y propondremos una respuesta desde una antropología adecuada.
Algunas derivaciones escatológicas del movimiento transhumanista
Authors: Arana-Cañedo-Argüelles Juan
Published: May 2024

Tradicionalmente, la ciencia empírica no se ha visto capacitada para abordar el tema de la inmortalidad, por considerarlo ajeno a sus competencias. Pero recientemente diversos autores pertenecientes a la corriente del transhumanismo reivindican la posibilidad de propiciar una forma de inmortalidad dentro del horizonte del espaciotiempo. La propuesta más común consiste en partir de una concepción algorítmica de la mente humana y tratar de cambiar el habitual soporte biológico por otro electrónico. Otros intentos se basan en combatir con ayuda del progreso científico las causas habituales de envejecimiento y muerte. Un análisis objetivo de estos planteamientos los presenta como inverosímiles.

Los olores fétidos de la salvación: esclavitud, santidad y discurso sensorial en la Cartagena de Indias del siglo XVII
Authors: Brewer-García Larissa
Published: May 2024

Al analizar el lenguaje sobre el mal olor de los africanos esclavizados en los escritos jesuitas del siglo XVII y el Proceso de beatificación de Pedro Claver (1658-1669), este artículo investiga los orígenes del discurso sensorial en la trata transatlántica en el Caribe hispano y cómo las desigualdades sociales del espacio colonial estaban conectadas al olor. A través de sus descripciones detalladas de los olores de la trata en el Proceso de beatificación, los intérpretes africanos de los jesuitas criticaron sutilmente la esclavitud a la vez que ayudaron a apoyar el caso de beatificación de Claver.
Occupational stress in the banking sector: implications for worker’s health and organization functionality
Authors: RIBEIRO ATILA DE ASSIS , PEREIRA JEFFERSON RODRIGUES , CANEPPELE NAIRANA RADTKE
Published: May 2024

Abstract This article aimed to identify the main implications of occupational stress for workers’ health and for the functionality of a banking organization located in Minas Gerais, Brazil, during the COVID-19 pandemic. We developed a quantitative study through a survey of 306 banking professionals. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. As a result, the construction of a structural model stands out, making it possible to verify the implications and effects between the individual, social, and functional dimensions. This study contributed to the discussion of variables associated with occupational stress, considering the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, marked by adversities and so far with few studies related to professionals in the financial sector, especially banking. Considering the pandemic scenario, the relationships between the dimensions served as the basis for identifying the manifestations of occupational stress in individuals and their impacts on the organization’s functionality.
Work values in the context of the creative economy: a study of female artisan-entrepreneurs in natural cosmetics

Published: May 2024

Abstract Work values represent what individuals consider important in the work environment, such as motivation, behaviors, and attitudes. Research on this topic reaches different groups of workers, including those in the creative economy, whose products and services reflect creativity, talent, and local culture. In this scenario, the artisanal natural cosmetics sector, specifically soapmaking, proposes a production guided by social, environmental, and economic sustainability. Thus, this work aims to analyze how work values manifest among female entrepreneurs in the artisanal natural cosmetics sector. The locus is the Brazilian city Fortaleza, which, in 2019, was recognized by Unesco as a Creative City. Data was collected through interviews based on a qualitative adaptation of the Revised Work Values Scale. Content analysis was conducted using Atlas.ti software. The results show that professional fulfillment and social relations are the most present values, especially in terms of creative work and collaboration for the development of society. The existence of a collaborative network was demonstrated, and the lack of specific regulation was found to be the main obstacle to growth. In addition, different meanings emerged from those brought by the theory for the values of stability and fulfillment, pointing to other configurations for activities not inserted in hegemonic economic models.

As metropolitan areas expand, commuter railways increasingly extend outwards, creating unintended competition with interregional rail. Competition between commuter and interregional train services engenders an inefficient allocation of rail services, thereby inducing welfare losses. Hence, it is imperative to stratify train classes clearly by rail fare adjustments. However, the public nature of rail services acts as a price ceiling, making it challenging to implement rail fare increases, thus necessitating a solution capable of distinguishing between train classes with minimal fare adjustments. A stated preference survey (SPS) targeting rail users traversing the Seoul–Suwon and Seoul–Cheonan segments of the Gyeongbu line in Korea was used to elucidate remedies for enhancing the inefficiency prevalent in the rail pricing schemes. Distinct preference clusters for each rail service and the value of time and seat reservation service for rail users were preliminarily discerned by leveraging the SPS. To achieve differentiation between train classes, an increase in interregional rail fares of US$0.52 for the Seoul–Suwon section and US$3.14 for the Seoul–Cheonan section, along with a restriction in seat reservation services is advocated. Implementation of this solution is anticipated to recalibrate the mode share within the rail services, fostering efficiency in service allocation and bolstering the profitability of rail operators, thereby mitigating welfare losses.
Blockchain, smart contracts y arbitraje comercial a través de un ODR: reflexiones de un nuevo enfoque en la resolución de disputas
Authors:   Universidad Americana, Rodríguez Palacios Tania del Socorro
Published: May 2024

El comercio electrónico, las nuevas tecnologías y la forma de resolver disputas han cambiado; por ende, también los negocios jurídicos y la prestación de servicios. No obstante, las relaciones nacidas de la contratación inteligente y la resolución de disputas en línea no están exentas de las problemáticas que envuelven su falta de regulación expresa. Este trabajo de investigación aborda primero las generalidades del blockchain, los contratos inteligentes y las Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) para luego abordar reflexiones acerca de la relación entre ellos. Estas nuevas tecnologías, pese a carecer de una regulación generalizada y uniforme, han venido siendo aplicadas desde hace ya un tiempo. Por consiguiente, se pretende resaltar su unión e incidencia en el mundo de la ciencia jurídica, a fin de demostrar cómo el arbitraje comercial a través de una ODR representa la mejor opción para la resolución de disputas nacidas de la tecnología del blockchain y los smart contracts gracias a características como descentralización, flexibilidad, agilidad, inmediatez y especialidad, cualidades que combinan con la genética jurídica y electrónica de ambas figuras.

Esta ponencia surge como resultado parcial en el marco del proceso investigativo del Grupo de Estudios Interdisciplinares en Política, Administración y Derechos (GEIPAD), vinculado a la Escuela Superior de Administración Pública (Esap). Tiene como propósito analizar el reconocimiento de los derechos de la naturaleza en el contexto colombiano y dilucidar cómo se ha materializado este paradigma desde el cumplimiento de las sentencias judiciales que reconocen como sujetos de derechos al río Atrato y a la Amazonía por parte de la Administración Pública en todos sus niveles. De igual manera, se explora la teoría del giro biocéntrico de la naturaleza como sujeto portador de derechos en el marco de la crisis ambiental. Para ello, se emplea el enfoque metodológico cualitativo y una perspectiva analítico-crítica a partir del análisis documental y jurisprudencial. En conclusión, se puede afirmar, en un primer momento, que la Administración Pública ha logrado avances insuficientes en la ejecutoria de las providencias y que hay grandes retos por afrontar si se quiere concretar este nuevo paradigma.

El presente artículo de investigación conceptualiza la tutela judicial efectiva en el marco del Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos y la construcción de este derecho en la Unión Europea, a través de su ordenamiento jurídico y de la jurisprudencia de su Tribunal de Justicia. Este ejercicio permite delimitar la tutela judicial efectiva en vía comunitaria para su análisis desde la perspectiva del Sistema de Integración Centroamericana (SICA) y, concretamente, desde las competencias jurisdiccionales de la Corte Centroamericana de Justicia (CCJ) que pueden ser impulsadas por los particulares o por el juez nacional. Finalmente, se determina el desarrollo jurisprudencial de la tutela judicial efectiva desde la CCJ. Lo anterior permite confirmar la existencia de tutela judicial efectiva en las competencias delegadas a este órgano supranacional.
Maximizing proof-of-work decentralization
Authors: Çulha Davut
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Blockchain technology is one of the emerging technologies that implements the concept of decentralization. The first application of this technology was with Bitcoin, which is a decentralized application. However, the decentralization of Bitcoin has become problematic due to the formation of mining pools. In this work, decentralization is intended to be maximized. Problem: Decentralization is the main concept of blockchain technologies. However, decentralization suffers mainly from mining pools in the Bitcoin network. Objective: In this work, the proposed solution to maximize upon the decentralized nature of Bitcoin is to revise the consensus protocol of Bitcoin. The proposed novel consensus protocol called Signature Proof-of-Work uses signatures instead of hashes. The proposed method aims to minimize the number of mining pools and maximize the number of solo miners by arguing that no one can share their private keys with others, which would ensure greater decentralization of the network. Methodology: The consensus algorithm in Bitcoin is Proof-of-Work. Proof-of-Work allows for the formation of mining pools. Mining pools control the Bitcoin network and reduce decentralization. Therefore, a novel Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm is proposed to empower decentralization. Results: The proposed consensus algorithm called Signature Proof-of-Work uses signatures instead of hashes. The proposed method aims to minimize the number of mining pools and maximize the number of solo miners by arguing that no one can share their private keys with others, which would ensure greater decentralization of the network. Conclusion: The proposed consensus algorithm minimizes mining pools by enforcing non-shareable private keys. Originality: The proposed consensus algorithm is an enhancement of the default Proof-of-Work algorithm of Bitcoin. The proposed algorithm uses signatures instead of hashes, which differentiates it from the default algorithm. Limitations: In the proposed algorithm, the main argument is that no one shares their private keys. In other words, miners cannot share their private keys with others. If they share their private keys, others can control their own money. Therefore, each miner does not want to collaborate with other miners to mine new blocks. As a result, the mining pools will not be formed.
Uma análise da relação entre julgamento moral, racismo e ativismo
Authors:   Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Moreira Aresi Paula Zini
Published: May 2024

Esta pesquisa, que possui um delineamento quantitativo, buscou investigar a relação entre o julgamento moral e a ação política para redução do preconceito na sociedade, dando-se destaque ao ativismo político e ao racismo moderno. Partiu-se da ideia de que o julgamento moral está ligado às concepções que as pessoas possuem sobre a realidade social e sobre seus diferentes grupos e que tais concepções podem afetar o modo como as pessoas agem politicamente, ou sua intenção de agir. Participaram desta pesquisa 130 brasileiros(as) que responderam um formulário virtual, desenhado para avaliar o julgamento moral, o racismo moderno, a ideologia política, a disposição para executar ações para a redução do preconceito e promoção da diversidade e a intenção de engajamento em ações políticas na forma de ativismo. Os dados foram analisados por meio do IBM SPSS, sendo verificado que o julgamento moral convencional esteve relacionado com o conservadorismo político, com um maior índice de racismo e com uma menor disposição para o engajamento em ações políticas voltadas para a redução do preconceito e promoção da diversidade. Da mesma forma, observou-se que este julgamento se relaciona com uma menor intenção de engajamento em ações ativistas, mesmo aquelas voltadas para a defesa do próprio grupo. A partir dos resultados, pode-se concluir que, formas qualitativamente distintas de julgamento moral, ao nível do pensamento individual, estão associadas a formas qualitativamente distintas de se pensar a sociedade e de agir nela.

This study aimed to correlate cognitive function with the physical activity level (pal) and physical fitness over three years of patients undergoing hemodialysis and to compare the pal and physical fitness over this period of patients with and without cognitive problems. Therefore, a cohort study was carried out, including patients evaluated between 2018 and 2020, through the Mini-Mental State Exam, functional physical record, Elbow Flexion test, Sit-to-stand test, Handgrip Strength test (hgs), and by the physical activity monitor. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson’s Correlation test and the paired Student’s t-test and its non-parametric equivalent, when necessary, with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that cognitive function assessed in the different years of the research was positively correlated with physical fitness and with pal: in 2018, with hgs (r = 0.313; p = 0.019); in 2019, with cardiorespiratory fitness (r = 0.288; p = 0.038), with hgs (r = 235; p = 0.033) and with pal on hd days (r = 359; p = 0.010) and on days without treatment (r = 314; p = 0.026); and in 2020, with the pal up to date without hd (r = 387; p = 0.014). In addition, patients without probable cognitive deficit had higher pal and physical fitness values in all years of analysis compared to those with the probable cognitive deficit: in 2018, this difference was significant in hgs and pal on a day contrary to hemodialysis; in 2019, in cardiorespiratory fitness and pal on a day contrary to treatment; and in 2020, in cardiorespiratory fitness, hgs and pal on both days. It is concluded that patients with higher pal and better physical fitness had a better cognitive function, suggesting the importance of physical activity practice as an effective alternative in improving physical fitness and, consequently, cognitive function in HD patients.
Distal Humerus Physeal Separation in Young Children: A Frequently Missed Diagnosis

A 2-year-old child fell and landed on the left hand. Post-trauma, he developed swelling over his left elbow and refused to move the left elbow. He was brought to the emergency department and initially diagnosed with left elbow dislocation. A careful study of the plain radiograph of the left elbow showed left distal humerus physeal separation. A gentle closed manipulative reduction was attempted under sedation but failed to achieve good alignment. The child was put under general anaesthesia, where an elbow arthrogram was performed and closed manipulative and percutaneous pinning was done. The child regained full elbow range of motion at 4 months post-injury. At 1 year follow-up, there was no deformity noted. Distal humerus physeal separation is a relatively uncommon presentation and frequently missed diagnosis due to the
