(I)legalidad y desmaterialización de la Justicia: consideraciones preliminares sobre su efecto en la estabilidad psíquica del ciudadano
Authors: Moriconi Bezerra Marcelo
Published: November 2023

En su último informe sobre seguridad ciudadana en América Latina, el PNUD (2013) resalta que, a pesar de que la región mejoró indicadores socioeconómicos habitualmente relacionados con la propagación de inseguridad, el problema no disminuyó. Por el contrario, el crimen empeoró. Para entender esta paradoja, este ensayo retoma la hipótesis de Ser violento (Moriconi, 2013) de que el verdadero problema es el colapso de la legalidad, y la violencia y el delito serían consecuencias lógicas de éste. Modificar el enfoque inicial permite diagnosticar nuevos problemas e introducir al debate variables alternativas. En este caso, se desarrolla una propuesta teórica sobre la imposibilidad de la Justicia institucional en un ambiente de alta percepción de la ilegalidad. Posteriormente, se recuperar algunas consideraciones sobre la teoría de psicología social de la Creencia en un Mundo Justo (CMJ) y se ofrece un análisis preliminar sobre cómo la naturalización de ilegalidades y las percepciones de injusticia podrían afectar seriamente la estabilidad psicológica y la autoestima de los ciudadanos. Ejemplos del caso argentino son utilizados. Palabras claves: inseguridad, ilegalidad, Justicia, mundo justo, democracia
Candidaturas independientes: ¿empoderamiento ciudadano o circulación de élites políticas por otros medios?
Authors: González Padilla Roy
Published: November 2023

A pesar de un consenso aparentemente mayoritario que resalta las bondades de las candidaturas independientes, la experiencia de dichos modelos de participación política que han logrado ser exitosos en el país ha puesto en tela de juicio su idealización al poner en evidencia que hasta ahora han servido más como vehículos de circulación de élites políticas y menos como un medio efectivo de empoderamiento y participación política ciudadana.Palabras clave: candidaturas independientes, participación política, empoderamiento, élites políticas.

Authors: Martínez Méndez Juan Ismael
Published: November 2023

Los actores educativos han redefinido sustantivamente sus responsabilidades evaluativas en instrumentos de mayor jerarquía normativa. Ya sea para el ingreso, la promoción o la permanencia en el magisterio, dichos cambios modifican los mecanismos de toma de decisión en el sistema educativo, por lo que este artículo busca clarificar las implicaciones que tiene esta nueva organización para hacer de las políticas de evaluación un instrumento servible en la profesionalización de los docentes de educación básica de México.Palabras clave: reformas educativas, actores educativos, políticas de evaluación,  profesionalización docente, Servicio Profesional Docente
Los cambios de política de tercer orden. Recursos, ideas y actores de veto en las reformas energética y educativa (México 2013-14)
Authors: Del Tronco Paganelli José , Hernández Estrada Mara I.
Published: November 2023

Este artículo analiza los procesos políticos que hicieron posible las reformas energética y educativa en México durante el periodo 2013-2014. Con base en entrevistas a profundidad con actores clave, este artículo muestra la relevancia de los recursos políticos (poder de veto y establecimiento de agenda) de los que disponen los actores que forman parte de la coalición promotora de los cambios, más allá de las ideas que enarbolan para justificar la idoneidad de los mismos. Basado en una estrategia comparativa de tipo most different, el trabajo muestra la importancia que tiene que el Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) haya pasado a formar parte de la coalición reformista, desde su llegada al gobierno, y en particular el haber podido cooptar a los actores de veto predominantes, que limitaron —durante las administraciones del Partido Acción Nacional— el alcance de los anteriores intentos de reforma: el Sindicato de Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) y el Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (SNTE). Palabras clave: Reformas, ideas políticas, actores de veto, políticas, México
Los museos interactivos de Ciudades Hermanas: visibilidad, funcionalidad y racionalidad para los hermanamientos. El caso de Guanajuato Capital
Authors: Añorve Añorve Daniel , Díaz Pérez Fernando , Prudnikov Romeiko Valentina
Published: November 2023

La política de internacionalización de las ciudades es un elemento innovador de la gestión. Los Acuerdos de Hermanamiento son el instrumento más utilizado para llevar a cabo la cooperación internacional descentralizada. Guanajuato Capital tiene un número importante de Acuerdos de Hermanamiento. Salvo uno de éstos, todos los Hermanamientos se encuentran inactivos, además de que éste se caracteriza por su lógica de donaciones Norte-Sur. Darle racionalidad a los Acuerdos de Hermanamiento, como instrumentos de una política internacional de Guanajuato Capital, implica un andamiaje institucional mínimo necesario para su funcionamiento. El ejemplo de las ciudades europeas con las cuales Guanajuato Capital tiene acuerdos es significativo para proporcionar una idea sobre el funcionamiento y la eficacia con la que estas ciudades gestionan la cooperación internacional. En el caso concreto de Guanajuato Capital se propone y fundamenta la formación de un Museo Interactivo de las Ciudades Hermanas como elemento central de la política de internacionalización basada en el dialogo, la reciprocidad y el aprendizaje conjunto.Palabras clave: Acuerdos de Hermanamiento, museo interactivo, racionalidad, Guanajuato, cooperación internacional descentralizada Abstract Policies leading to the internationalization of cities are a groundbreaking component of city’s management. The sisterhood agreements are the most widely used instrument of international decentralized cooperation. Guanajuato City has signed a good number of sisterhood agreements. Except for one among such agreements, the others are inactive. The lone standing and functional sisterhood agreement is based on a North-South donation scheme. To provide rationality to the internationalization policy it is required to put in place some core institutionalization to make this aspiration functional. The European examples of cities, sisters of Guanajuato, may shed light on how these cities make sisterhood agreements functional and efficient. In the case of Guanajuato, we propose the creation of an Interactive Museum of Sister Cities as a core component for the internationalization of the city, based on dialogue, reciprocity, and mutual learning.Keywords: Sisterhood agreements, interactive museum, rationality, Guanajuato, international decentralized cooperation

Pluralising the Planetary: The Radical Incompleteness of Machinic Envisioning
Authors: Richardson Michael , Munster Anna
Published: November 2023

Automated techniques have driven new approaches to visualising and acting upon planetary crises, such as Microsoft’s Planetary Computer and Amazon’s partnership with the start-up Overstory (formerly 20tree.ai). However, “planetary” machine envisioning, together with its critical theorisation, tends toward scalar equivalence and the assumption of interoperability across media, infrastructure, and optics. The “planetary” becomes a mode for and platform of seeing Earth and beyond in which AI vision systems conjoin seamlessly with a predictive imaging of the planet and have the effect of becoming mutually dependent and self-reinforcing. In this article, we argue for a more pluralistic and nonhuman set of Earth images and imaginings. We argue that such modes of imaging are multiscalar and are indebted to what Paul Edwards calls “data friction.” Here materialities of both media and Earth impede the seamless movement and exchange of data involved in machine vision; and disjunctive syntheses are instead constantly being generated. We examine eccentric modes of configuring the planetary via the artwork of Tega Brain, who deploys disjunctive and nonscalable relations of climate and environment in her use of data and AI imaging techniques. In spite of considerable financial, cognitive, and affective investment to entangle Earth with machine vision, we propose instead that imaging and imagining the planetary is a radically incomplete project. Drawing on Indigenous approaches to AI development via Country Centered Design and the process philosophy of William James and others, we propose that planetary “vision” operates within a pluralistic universe of seeing, in which ongoing and radical incompleteness is core to its imaging.
Beyond the Binary: Gender and Legal Personhood in Islamic Law
Authors: Yacoob Saadia
Published: November 2023

One of the most hotly debated issues in contemporary Muslim ethics is the status of women in Islamic law. Whereas Muslim conservatives argue that gender-differentiated legal rulings reflect complementary gender roles, Muslim feminists argue that Islamic law has subordinated women and is thus in need of reform. The shared assumption on both sides, however, is that gender fundamentally shapes an individual’s legal status. Beyond the Binary explores an expansive cross section of topics in ninth- to twelfth-century Hanafi legal thought, ranging from sexual crimes to consent to marriage, to show that early Muslim jurists imagined a world built not on a binary distinction between male and female but on multiple intersecting hierarchies of gender, age, enslavement, lineage, class, and other social roles. Saadia Yacoob offers a restorative reading of Islamic law, arguing that its intersectional and relational understanding of legal personhood offers a productive space for Muslim feminists to move beyond critique and instead think with and through the Islamic legal tradition.

Authors: Shanmugam Saravanakumar C , Sreedhara Sivakartik
Published: November 2023

If any machine learning algorithm the success of it is based on the accuracy. If the algorithm accuracy decreases due to the increase in the size of the feature vector then Boosting techniques help the algorithms (in this case it is Regression algorithms) to maintain or improve the accuracy. In this paper we have dealt with the supervised algorithms. The accuracy of the supervised algorithms is improved with the introduction of wrapper constants so that the accuracy is improved with the large dataset as well as with increase in features.

Extraction of Handwritten Text using Word Beam Search Algorithm and Language Modeling
Authors: Ananth Kavitha , B Kirubanand V
Published: November 2023

The challenge of recognizing handwriting in mortgage records is covered in this article. Businesses trying to digitize huge numbers of hand-marked scanned documents or reports have a significant challenge: offline handwritten text recognition from images. In order to translate a picture into a series of characters that match to the text that is contained in the image, this research suggests an innovative language model in combination with a deep convolutional network and a recurrent encoder-decoder network. Using the principles of Deep Learning and Word Beam Search, the complete model is trained as an end-to-end replacement for conventional handwriting recognition techniques. When the Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) loss function is trained on the digital form, an RNN is the result. Character probabilities are contained in this matrix for each discrete time step. By translating the character probabilities, a CTC decoding algorithm maps the final text. The token passing mechanism is used to create the recognized text from a list of dictionary words. We offer a novel and highly efficient method for developing restrictive models for classification which might associate entity names in accordance with the data contained in the article on entity types. A benchmark dataset predicated on the Mortgage domain is included. This Mortgage domain is evaluated in the presented model. We tested the model provided below using a set of benchmark mortgage datasets, which are published. The experimental outcomes were compared to the IAM and RIMES datasets, two openly accessible datasets. On the evaluation set of both datasets, word level precision at the cutting edge by 2.5% & 1.3%, respectively.
Gender Stratification and Changing in Gender Expectations: A comparative analysis between coeducational schools and single-sex schools in Erbil
Authors: Abdullah Shler Maulood
Published: November 2023

This study explores the impact of coeducational schools on reducing gender inequality by comparing students' perspectives in coeducational and single-sex schools with similar academic levels. Seventh-grade (aged 12,13) and twelfth-grade (aged 17,18) students from three basic and three preparatory schools participate. Qualitative data is gathered through eight focused group interviews with 80 students and analyzed using coding. Quantitative data is collected through questionnaires, including students' perspectives on gender issues and controllable variables related to their home background. SPSS program is used for analysis, employing cross-tabulation and correlation. The study supports the "enlightenment approach" as both types of schools show changes in gender expectations, with twelfth-grade students exhibiting more egalitarian views. Gender inequality in teacher treatment was observed in all selected schools. Preparatory coeducational schools showed better treatment towards girls, while twelfth-grade girls faced inequality in a preparatory single-sex school for girls. Similarly, a significant gender inequality was found in teacher treatment towards boy students in the preparatory school for boys. This indicates that the school somewhat reproduces inequality. In analyzing the questionnaire, gender, age, and school type were compared as independent variables with dependent variables related to students' perspectives. Results showed that girls generally hold more egalitarian perspectives than males, older students are more egalitarian than younger students, and students in coeducational schools are more egalitarian than those in single-sex schools. This suggests that coeducation is a step towards gender equality. Furthermore, a comparison between seventh-grade and twelfth-grade students' perspectives in each selected school revealed changes in gender expectations between these two stages, emphasizing the impact of education on enlightening gender equality. However, when comparing students' perspectives with their home background, the impact of the school becomes less apparent. Despite the influence of school or education on gender expectations, home socialization remains the primary factor in increasing or reducing gender inequality.

Arbitration In Times of Economic Uncertainty: The Role of Qatar Financial Center’s Jurisprudence in Shaping International Arbitration Principles
Authors: Fetais Abdulmehsen
Published: November 2023

The framework applicable to international arbitration is notably very liberal, as are the criteria of internationality embraced by both academia and practice. However, the utilization of this form of transactional justice provides tangible benefits, such as alleviating the burden on national courts, expediting the delivery of justice, establishing a body of international arbitration jurisprudence, flexibly securing commercial law at both national and international levels, and more. It's quite likely that these developmental aspects have facilitated the growth of alternative dispute resolution methods as we are currently witnessing. Moreover, it can be asserted that the conjunctural uncertainties that the legal world must contend with encourage the resort to arbitration. In fact, periods of uncertainty prompt economic entities to align themselves with familiar and protective arbitral frameworks that serve their interests. This circumstance appears particularly prominent in economies closely tied to the oil sector, such as those found in the Gulf monarchies. Consequently, this paper aims to demonstrate for the first time in scientific literature that, given their structural and cyclical fundamentals, the Gulf monarchies have become preferred venues for arbitration. In this context, the jurisprudence actively developed by Qatar's National Arbitration Center (QFC-QICDRC) and established by Law No. 7 of 2005 in accordance with Law No. 2 of 2017, also known as the "National Arbitration Law", holds significant importance in comprehending the mechanics of a legally prominent and effective practice: International arbitration.
A Heat Exchanger Reactor Equipped with Membranes to Produce Dimethyl Ether from Syngas and Methyl Formate and Hydrogen from Methanol
Authors: Bakhtyari A. , Darvishi A. , Rahimpour M.R.
Published: November 2023

The energy crisis of the century is a motivation to present processes with higher energy efficiency for production of clean and renewable resources of energy. Hence, a catalytic heat exchanger reactor for production of dimethyl ether (DME) from syngas, and hydrogen and methyl formate (MF) from methanol is investigated in the present study. The proposed configuration is equipped with two different membranes for in-situ separation of products. Syngas is converted to DME through an exothermic reaction and it supplies a part of required energy for the methanol dehydrogenation reaction. Produced water in the exothermic side and produced hydrogen in the endothermic side are separated by using appropriate perm-selective membranes. In-situ separation of products makes the equilibrium reactions proceed toward higher conversion of reactants. A mathematical model based on reasonable assumptions is developed to evaluate molar and thermal behavior of the configuration. Performance of the system is aimed to enhance by obtaining optimum operating conditions. In this regard, Genetic Algorithm is applied. Performance of the heat exchanger double membrane reactor working under optimum conditions (OTMHR) is compared with a heat exchanger reactor without membrane (THR). OTMHR promotes methanol conversion to MF to %87.2, carbon monoxide conversion to %95.8 and hydrogen conversion to %64.6.
Multimodal management for low-back pain associated with spondylodiscitis
Authors: Chu Eric Chun Pu
Published: November 2023

Spondylodiscitis is a rare and severe condition which can lead to progressive spinal deformities and poor functional outcomes [1]. Clinical management of low-back pain associated with spondylodiscitis has not been reported, as low back pain often persists even after appropriate treatment of spondylodiscitis [2]. A70-year-old woman with a 4-month history of nonspecific low-back pain and spondylodiscitis presented to the chiropractic clinic for conservative management. The symptoms started with abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, intermittent bilateral gluteal pain, and lower-extremity soreness. Gastritis and urinary tract infection were initially diagnosed. Thoracic radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) were indicative of spondylodiscitis at the T10/11 level, and her low-back pain was treated successfully with systemic antibiotics, scraping therapy, and spinal manipulative therapy. As there are limited data to suggest treatment modalities and extend care of  spondylodiscitis [1], we report a case of successful management of low-back pain associated with spondylodiscitis, with multimodal therapy in a faster recovery time.

Published: November 2023

Objective. Metabolic parameters and cognition are known to be impaired in diabetes, while music seems to have an impact on both. We aimed to study the effects of active and relaxing music on the short-term memory, attention and metabolic parameters of type 2 diabetes patients (T2DM).
Methods. A two-day interventional, within-subject study was carried on 89 T2DM patients treated only with metformin and 67 age- and sex-matched control. The Pieron Toulouse test and Word Recognition Test were used to evaluate attention and short-term memory. The music listened to was the Allegro, respectively the Andante parts of 2 Mozart Sonatas. Cognitive tests, blood pressure and blood
glucose measurements were performed before and after each 20 minutes of music intervention.
Results. Baseline attention performance was better in the control group compared to T2DM (p<0.000). Performance improved significantly in both groups under both types of music, however the last to the first measurement difference was higher in the control group (p=0.04). Female T2DM participants had better improvement under active music (p<0.01). Short-term memory improved during active music, but this was significant only in the control group (p=0.041). Both types of music were associated with significantly lower systolic blood pressure (p=0.00), while relaxing music significantly reduced blood glucose levels (p=0.00).
Conclusion. Our study highlighted the beneficial effect of music on metabolic and cognitive parameters, however, its impact depends on the type of music listened. Furthermore, cognitive scores of T2DM, especially in men, were less influenced by music than those of the control group.

Published: November 2023

This paper presents the results of the introduction to a project inspired by the éveil aux langues approach with the storytelling of the picture book Du Iz Tak? by the American/Canadian author Carson Ellis (2016). This propaedeutic activity was a multimodal input given in an unknown language to all children, namely an invented language. The aim of this study is to bring more evidence on how the development of metalinguistic awareness at a young age can help pupils meet their learning needs, especially pupils with SEN. Results show that telling a story in a invented language through the use of multimodal resources to convey meaning not only captures the attention of all pupils in the class, but leads them to observe and manipulate this language by making and developing hypotheses about languages, especially pupils with SEN.

Marek’s disease is a contagious avian viral disease that is caused by a Marek’s disease virus serotype 1 (MDV-1) or gallid herpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2), a member of the genus Alphaherpesvirus, family Herpesviridae. Up to now, the disease has caused significant losses to the chicken farming industry in many provinces and cities across the country. In this study, four MDV-1 (GaHV-2) strains causing the disease in Bac Ninh province during the 2019–2022 period were identified by multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Subsequently, the segments of 1020 bp encoding 339 amino acids of Meq gene (Marek’s disease virus EcoRI fragment Q) from four samples were collected and sequenced. The rate of identity and homology between the four Vietnamese strains and other global strains ranged from 89.4% to 100% and 87.6% to 100%, respectively. These rates were higher between the four Vietnamese strains and MDV-1 Chinese strains, ranging from 99.2% to 100% and 98.2% to 100%, respectively. The molecular characterization of the Meq gene revealed that all four of the GaHV-2 strains infecting chickens in the Bac Ninh province belonged to the highly virulent group, with a low proline ratio in Meq protein (ranging from 20.59–21.18%), consisting of three PPPP motifs and three interrupted motifs that contain mutations at the second position of the proline rich region (PRR): PPPP>P (Q/A/R)PP. Overall, this study provides valuable information on molecular characteristics of MDV-1 strains in Bac Ninh province during the 2019–2022 period.

The intensification of Russia-Myanmar relations has been one of the the unexpected consequences of Russo-Ukrainian war. For Russian Federation Burma/ Myanmar used to be a secondary partner, important only due to being the major client of the military-industrial complex. Global (semi)isolation of Russia changed these calculations, upgrading the importance of Myanmar in Russia’s foreign policy. For Naypyidaw these relations have been important since the last coup (1 February 2021), in the aftermath of the putsch Moscow became the biggest international protector of Burmese generals. Due to these two reasons Russia-Myanmar relations have reached the unprecedented high level, unseen in history of this bilateral relations.
Tajemnica spowiedzi w procesie karnym a odwołanie upoważnienia do sprawowania sakramentu pokuty w prawie kanonicznym
Authors:   Uniwersytet Komisji Edukacji Narodowej w Krakowie, Gil Damian
Published: November 2023

The article addresses the hitherto under-researched issue of the seal of confession in the criminal trial in the context of revoking the authority to administer the sacrament of penance in canon law. It turns out that the regulations of canon law and criminal trial are consistent in guaranteeing the inviolability of the seal of confession, known as the ‘sacramental seal’. Secrecy does not apply if the confessor is not a priest since only a priest can validly administer this sacrament. The article’s considerations also deal with other subjective and objective issues that have impact on seal of confession in canon law and criminal trial.

Digital twins are increasingly useful in metaverse-related applications, but their construction process usually involves deep technical expertise and costly resources. This position paper demonstrates an early prototype (see Figure 1) of a web-based digital twin authoring system to enable untrained users to collaboratively build digital twin environments. The system aims to explore the combination of photogrammetry and GAN-based machine learning models to enable near-real-time collaboration between capture client (scanning objects using common smartphone cameras) and editing client (constructing 3D scenes on thin client devices) users.
Evolutionary Neural Networks for Option Pricing: Multi-Assets Option and Exotic Option
Authors: Li Yang , Wu Zelin , Ye Feiyang
Published: November 2023

This paper presents a novel framework based on the evolutionary neural network to solve the generalized Black-Scholes equation arising in the financial market efficiently and accurately. We first employ evolutionary neural networks to parameterize the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) involved in option pricing. This approach allows us to simplify the Black-Scholes PDEs and convert them into the corresponding Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). Thus we can use standard ODE solvers such as Euler’s method to solve the simplified ODE problem. The proposed framework is flexible and can handle various boundary conditions and terminal conditions, allowing customization based on specific market requirements and scenarios. Moreover, our method offers a reliable and deterministic solution methodology for the pricing framework, as it does not rely on stochastic training. Unlike other approaches that incorporate stochastic elements in their training process, our method eliminates the need for such training and provides consistent results. This deterministic nature enhances the reliability and stability of our approach, making it well-suited for real-world applica- tions in option pricing and financial markets. The experiments on multiple settings are carried out to illustrate the applicability and accuracy of the proposed framework.
Fairness in Machine Learning Meets with Equity in Healthcare
Authors: Raza Shaina , Osivand Pour Parisa , Bashir Syed Raza
Published: November 2023

With the growing utilization of machine learning in healthcare, there is increasing potential to enhance healthcare outcomes. However, this also brings the risk of perpetuating biases in data and model design that can harm certain demographic groups based on factors such as age, gender, and race. This study proposes an artificial intelligence framework, grounded in software engineering principles, for identifying and mitigating biases in data and models while ensuring fairness in healthcare settings. A case study is presented to demonstrate how systematic biases in data can lead to amplified biases in model predictions, and machine learning methods are suggested to pre-vent such biases. Future research aims to test and validate the proposed ML framework in real-world clinical settings to evaluate its impact on promoting health equity.

In order to develop a rectangular corrugated microchannel (RCM) heat sink with high heat transfer and low pressure drop, a rectangular corrugated microchannel is designed and simulated, and then the effects of amplitude A, wavelength λ, and inlet flow velocity uin on heat transfer performance, Dean vortices, and pressure drop are investigated. Furthermore, A, λ, and uin are optimized according to the performance evaluation criterion (PEC). Moreover, the effect of microchannel number N on the microchannel heat sink is investigated at equal pump power. Finally, the optimal rectangular corrugated microchannel is compared with the rectangular straight microchannel (RSM) at equal pump power. The results show that the area and the number of Dean vortices, the average Nusselt number and the pressure drop increase gradually as A and uin increase or as λ decreases. The comprehensive performance reaches the optimum at A = 0.3 mm, λ = 5 mm, and uin = 1.4 m/s. Under equal pump power, as N increases, the total heat transfer area and the number of Dean vortices increase, so the thermal resistance and the temperature decrease and reach the optimum at N = 10. Compared to the regular streamline in the rectangular straight microchannel, the area and number of Dean vortices change with the curvature of the corrugated microchannel and reach the maximum at wave peak and valley. Compared to the rectangular straight microchannel, the optimal rectangular corrugated microchannel decreases the temperature by 31 K, decreases the thermal resistance by 57.03%, increases the average convective heat transfer coefficient by 219.49%, and increases the performance evaluation criterion by 131%, while it increases the pressure drop by 107.5%.

Serum samples were taken from 11 Icelandic dairy calves, at birth and 24 hours later, and 11 colostrum samples were taken from their mothers with the concentration of IgG measured by ELISA. The amount of colostrum ingested by each calf was also measured. The results showed that the mean concentration of IgG in cow colostrum at birth was 11.54 mg ml-1. The mean concentration in the serum of calves that had ingested known quantities of colostrum was 8.02 mg ml-1 24 hours postpartum. Both values were lower than described in other cattle breeds. Significant correlation existed between the amount of colostral IgG consumed and serum concentration of IgG in the calves 24 hours postpartum. The mean apparent efficiency of absorption (AEA) was 43%, which is high compared to other studies. Although the study group was small, the results give an indication of the ability of Icelandic calves to absorb colostral IgG.
La carretera Bogotá - Villavicencio, su impacto sobre el ordenamiento territorial y el ecosistema
Authors: Gutiérrez Lesmes Oscar Alexander
Published: November 2023

Objetivo: Mediante una revisión bibliográfica se presentarán los posibles impactos en el ordenamiento territorial en su dimensión ecológica, ocasionados en los municipios de influencia de la carretera Bogotá-Villavicencio, a partir de la posibilidad de construcción de una tercera calzada en esta; determinar algunos impactos permitirá contar con un referente teórico para ser usado por entidades gubernamentales, académicas, habitantes de la zona de influencia y la empresa privada en la planificación del desarrollo del proyecto. Metodología: Se realizó un compendio de información mediante la búsqueda de artículos indexados en las bases de datos: Redalyc, Latindex, Proquest, Dialnet, Scielo, Scopus, ScienceDirect; para la búsqueda se utilizaron palabras clave definidas para la temática según Clacso y Tesauro. Resultados: El fenómeno de cambios en el ordenamiento territorial en la dimensión ecológica causados por la construcción de carreteras se encuentra enmarcado en dos componentes: primero, altera el comportamiento social, esto ha sido documentado en diferentes estudios, como causal directo de cambios en el uso del suelo afectando el ecosistema por acciones antrópicas; segundo, los cambios ocasionados por las carreteras en la estructura del paisaje afectan el funcionamiento del ecosistema. Conclusiones: La carretera Bogotá-Villavicencio sigue en expansión presionada por determinantes económicos, aún se encuentra en construcción la segunda calzada y la necesidad próxima será la construcción de una tercera; por eso se debe considerar que la carretera cuente con características específicas que promuevan el desarrollo de las regiones de manera sustentable en los territorios de influencia, debe promover un desarrollo incluyente, mediante el desarrollo económico de todos los asentamientos humanos, para no generar alteraciones del orden social que promuevan migraciones y cambios del uso del suelo por fuera de los esquemas de ordenamiento territorial (EOT) de estos municipios; segundo, crear estrategias que mitiguen el impacto y equilibren las condiciones ecológicas.

El propósito de este artículo es establecer un diagnóstico de los humedales de Bañó y Los Negros basado en el análisis y caracterización de las esferas social, económica y natural, a fin de entender las causas de los eventos físicos, económicos, sociales y educativos que expliquen el desfasamiento entre percepciones y culturas adecuadas para la sostenibilidad ambiental del territorio y la consideración de tales causas para la generación de un modelo educativo no formal. La problemática ambiental existente en los humedales es el resultado de las presiones de tipo antrópico a la que han sido sometidos, la ausencia de una cultural ambiental ha llevado a sus habitantes a desequilibrar tales ecosistemas. Como resultado del diagnóstico territorial se identificaron una serie de problemas ambientales: desecación de humedales, pérdida de la biodiversidad, deficientes condiciones sanitarias, contaminación del suelo y agua, y manejo inadecuado de residuos. Factores como el bajo nivel educativo, las escasas oportunidades de empleo y los pocos ingresos por núcleo familiar inciden de forma indirecta en el deterioro de los humedales. Se resalta que un 85,8% del total de la población tiene más de 16 años de vivir en el área de estudio, por lo tanto tienen un conocimiento empírico de los humedales y de los problemas presentes en ellos.
El plan de vida de los pueblos indígenas de colombia, una construcción de etnoecodesarrollo
Authors: Monje Carvajal Jhon Jairo
Published: November 2023

La realidad sobre los derechos formales de los indígenas sobre los territorios colectivos, dista mucho de estar ajustada a la que plantea la Constitución Política de Colombia respecto a la calidad de vida y en el cumplimiento de su derecho de autonomía. Permanecen todavía graves problemas que atentan contra sus territorios, la tranquilidad, la paz y su pervivencia. El casi nulo cubrimiento de necesidades básicas como salud, educación, alimento y vivienda por la no inclusión en los planes de desarrollo municipales de estas comunidades, bajo el argumento de que sus territorios reciben sus propios recursos económicos, amenaza la sobrevivencia de estos grupos y convierte sus territorios en zonas de guerra, de conflicto y de intereses particulares. Esto se refleja en la realidad nacional y no existe ni social ni políticamente la conciencia de que esto constituye un hecho de discriminación racial. Se plantean entonces alternativas metodológicas de cómo construir planes de vida más ajustados a su realidad con muchas alternativas para la cohesión de estas comunidades indígenas con los planes de desarrollo de los municipios que contienen dichos territorios colectivos; que se construyen luego de un análisis profundo desde una perspectiva diferente a modelos económicos desde sus propios momentos de vida, con un proceso de construcción más ajustado a sus culturas, realidades tanto ambientales como sociales en susterritorios. El resultado es una serie de estrategias que sería hasta ahora un abordaje más ajustado a dichas realidades, desde los planteamientos de la agroecología hacia la aproximación de lo que sería el etnoecodesarrollo.

Se caracterizó la estructura y composición florística del remanente boscoso ubicado en la Reserva Forestal de la Institución Educativa Cajete, Popayán (Cauca). El inventario florístico se hizo mediante colecta libre realizada en el interior y la periferia del bosque. Se registraron en total 164 especies, 130 géneros y 58 familias. En Magnoliophyta se registraron 142 especies, 112 géneros y 44 familias; las familias más diversas fueron Asteraceae (31 especies y 26 géneros) y Araceae (10 especies y 3 géneros). En Lycophyta y Monylophyta se reconocieron 22 especies, 18 géneros y 14 familias; siendo Polypodiaceae con 4 especies la familia con mayor riqueza. Para determinar la estructura se muestrearon todos los individuos con DAP ≥ 1 cm en 10 bandas de 50 x 2 m, hallándose 560 individuos de plantas vasculares pertenecientes a 39 especies, 33 géneros y 25 familias. El bosque presentó 3 estratos: herbáceo, arbustivo y arbóreo. El estrato arbustivo fue el dominante con un elevado número de especies; el estrato arbóreo estuvo constituido por unas pocas especies. Quercus humboldtii y Banara guianensis fueron las especies con mayor dominancia e índice de valor de importancia en el bosque.
