Ars Moriendi. Ethical Challenges of the Ultimate Realities of Life
Authors: Sgarlata Sara , Dłużewicz Alicja , Napiwodzka Karolina
Published: January 2023

The aim of this issue of Ethics in Progress is to provide a provisional, open-ended view on the ultimate realities of life and the ethical challenges they pose in medical, sociological, and existential contexts. The issue explores axiologies and meta-ethical narratives related to the art of dying, or in other words the moral domain encompassing the quest for a good life and a good death. Two problematic aspects emerge from the latest body of research: (1) the difficulty involved in tackling ethical challenges in medical and sociological contexts; and (2) the marginal role of the patient’s agency and narrative-ownership of end-of-life decision-making. A direction is pointed out that suggests that interventions across interdisciplinary groups involved in medical aid to dying should focus on promoting ethical behaviour on the side of healthcare personnel. Finally, attention to language, discourse, communication, and the narratives of death and dying call this edition of Ethics in Progress to examine the ontological and epistemological categories that underlie the study of lifeworlds and ‘discourse communities’, which are those associated with moral agents interlacing historical motives, language, communication, normative beliefs, social norms and roles, power relations, hard clinical evidence, and contested values in the context of medical practices and, broadly speaking, practices surrounding death.

Published: January 2023

Lipidomics as a branch of metabolomics provides unique information on the complex lipid profile in biological materials. In clinically focused studies, hundreds of lipids together with available clinical information proved to be an effective tool in the discovery of biomarkers and understanding of pathobiochemistry. However, despite the introduction of lipidomics nearly twenty years ago, only dozens of big data studies using clinical lipidomics have been published to date. In this review, we discuss the lipidomics workflow, statistical tools, and the challenges of standartisation. The consequent summary divided into major clinical areas of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative and liver diseases is demonstrating the importance of clinical lipidomics. In these publications, the potential of lipidomics for prediction, diagnosis or finding new targets for the treatment of selected diseases can be seen. The first of these results have already been implemented in clinical practice in the field of cardiovascular diseases, while in other areas we can expect the application of the results summarized in this review in the near future.
Network pharmacology combined with molecular docking to explore the anti-osteoporosis mechanisms of β-ecdysone derived from medicinal plants
Authors: Zeng Bin , Wu Xudong , Liang Wenqing , Huang Xiaogang
Published: January 2023

β-Ecdysone is a phytosteroid derived from multifarious medicinal plants, such as Achyranthes root (Achyranthes bidentata) and Tinospora cordifolia, possessing the potential anti-osteoporosis effect. However, the underlying mechanisms for β-ecdysone treating osteoporosis remain unclear. This study aims to explore the molecular mechanisms of β-ecdysone against osteoporosis by network pharmacology and molecular docking. First, the potential targets of β-ecdysone and osteoporosis were predicted by public databases. Protein interaction and functional enrichment analyses of potential targets were performed using the STRING and Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway databases. Finally, hub targets were identified from network pharmacology, and their interaction with β-ecdysone was validated by molecular docking. Results showed that 47 potential targets were related to the mechanisms of β-ecdysone treating osteoporosis. Enrichment analyses revealed that the potential targets were mainly associated with steroid biosynthetic and metabolic processes, as well as HIF-1 and estrogen signaling pathways. By protein–protein interaction network analysis, top 10 hub targets were screened, including TNF, ALB, SRC, STAT3, MAPK3, ESR1, PPARG, CASP3, TLR4, and NR3C1. Molecular docking showed that β-ecdysone had good affinity with TLR4, TNF, and ESR1. Therefore, β-ecdysone might exert therapeutic effect on osteoporosis development via targeting TLR4, TNF, and ESR1 and regulating HIF-1 and estrogen pathways.
Evolution of surface morphology and properties of diamond films by hydrogen plasma etching
Authors: Chu Genjie , Li Sijia , Gao Jiyun , Yang Li , Hou Ming , Guo Shenghui
Published: January 2023

The micron-scale diamond film was prepared using hydrogen and methane as the mixed gas supplies via self-developed 3 kW/2,450 MHz microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) equipment. On this basis, the evolution of the surface morphology, hydrophobicity, and electrical properties of samples under different hydrogen plasma etching times was investigated. The results indicate that the crystal edge and the top of the diamond grain were preferentially etched when etching time is less than 30 min. The surface roughness reduced from 0.217 to 0.205 μm, and the resistance value decreases from 3.17 to 0.35 MΩ. However, as the etch time increases to 120 min, the etching depth increases, and the surface roughness was increased. Simultaneously, the contact angles increased from 62.8° to 95.9°, which indicates that the surface of the diamond films exhibits more pronounced hydrophobicity. The treatment time of hydrogen plasma has no significant effect on the resistance value in the range of 0.26–0.50 MΩ. The mechanism of surface etching by hydrogen plasma was also discussed.

Published: January 2023

Boron compounds (BC) are eco-friendly and effective wood preservatives and have recently been found in the soundboards of Stradivari and Guarneri stringed musical instruments made in the 18th century. The effectiveness of BC protection against decay and insects has been validated extensively. However, the effects of BC on the vibro-mechanical properties of wood remain unclear. In this study, spruce wood was impregnated with the wood preservatives, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT), boric acid (BA), and sodium tetraborate pentahydrate (BX), and their effects on the physical and vibro-mechanical properties were investigated. The free-free flexural vibration method was sequentially applied to identical specimens before and after treatment at 23 °C and 30, 65, and 90% RH. The results indicated that the hygroscopicity increased and the dimensional stability decreased upon the three BC impregnation. Nevertheless, the acoustical properties were improved by the three BC treatments, particularly the acoustic conversion efficiency, which benefited from the decreased internal friction tan δ. FTIR spectroscopy combined with principal component analysis showed that an extensive boron-wood network was formed inside the wood, in contrast to the deionized water treatment. The effect of boron types on the acoustics and molecular structure overall depended on the solution pH and the network formed within the wood. One percent concentrations of the three BC-treated samples exhibited some acoustic enhancement and reduced humidity impacting performance compared to the higher concentration treatments. This study reveals the potential of BC treatment for improving the vibro-mechanical performance of spruce.

Short nylon tire cord and gamma irradiation impact on SBR/ultrasonic and mechanochemical devulcanized rubber blends
Authors: Fathy E.S. , Hassan Medhat M. , Elnaggar Mona Y.
Published: January 2023

Devulcanization of discarded tire rubber (WR) has remained of prior attention to numerous researchers, aiming for unlimited commercial profits upon modification, especially to serve as a substituent for virgin rubber. In this concern, composites of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and devulcanized waste rubber, developed via two techniques: mechanochemical (DRm) and ultrasonic (DRus), and reinforced with short nylon tire cord (SNF), namely at a filling ratio of 3 and 5 phr were fabricated. All prepared specimens were exposed to various gamma radiation doses, namely 50, 100, and 150 kGy. The post-radiation characterization was investigated by FTIR and SEM techniques. Radiation-induced crosslinking density of the polymer composites was calculated and correlated with the different mechanical features. Furthermore, the TGA technique and activation energy measurement were implemented in studying the thermal behavior of the products. Incorporation of 5 phr SNF set out the thermal stability order: SBR/DRm/5 SNF > SBR/DRus/5 SNF > SBR/5 SNF. Ionizing irradiation of all composite–SNF formulations derived to a marked improvement in TS data as a result of creating further crosslinking within the polymeric matrix, reaching a maximum by the integral dose 150 kGy. The results were appreciably compared to a recently published study that applied reinforced tire fiber with polyester, as another cord utilized in the manufacture of tires. It is found that TS data observed by irradiation with 150 kGy of SBR/3 SNF, SBR/DRm/3 SNF, and SBR/DRus/3 SNF are respectively as follows: 3.7, 2.5, and 2.4 MPa, whereas the corresponding reported values for PTC reinforced counterpart blends were: 2, 1.7 and 1.8 MPa. Similarly, the TS respective values of SBR/5 SNF, SBR/DRm/5 SNF and SBR/DRus are 2.5, 1.9, and 2.2 MPa, whereas their counterparts reinforced with 5 phr PTC recorded 1.6, 1.8, and 1.2 MPa. SNF-reinforced SBR, SBR/DRm, and SBR/DRus were superior in their properties to PTC-reinforced counterpart specimens.
Multiscale heat conduction and fractal oxidation behaviors of needle-punched carbon/carbon composites
Authors: Han Meng , Zhou Chuwei , Silberschmidt Vadim V. , Bi Qinsheng
Published: January 2023

Needle-punched (NP) carbon/carbon composites (CCCs) are widely used in structures re-entering the atmosphere of aerospace, thanks to their excellent mechanical properties. They are easily oxidized at high temperatures with atmospheric oxygen. The oxidation behavior is influenced by the process of heat conduction. In this study, longitudinal and transverse heat conduction in micro- and mesoscale models of CCCs was investigated. It was established that the heat transfer interface of a fiber bundle demonstrated peak-like morphology, while the punching structures of composites slowed down the process of heat conduction. Oxidation behavior of NP CCCs was predicted with a fractional Brownian motion strategy. It was found that the oxidized fiber bundles formed “bamboo shoots” morphology due to different oxidation rates of the matrix and fibers. Stochastic oxidation behavior was successfully described with this fractal strategy.
The possible association between neurodegenerative/demyelinating neurological disorders in achalasia patients
Authors: Khoury Salim T. , Mari Amir
Published: January 2023

The precise pathogenesis of achalasia is still unclear. Neurodegenerative and/or demyelinating disorders (NDD) appear to share some common pathophysiological pathways described in achalasia such as inflammation, autoimmune, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neurodegeneration. Jerie et al. have published on the October issue a prospective study assessing the prevalence of several NDD in achalasia patients. In this commentary, we shed some light on the possible link between achalasia and NDD as well as comment on the study by Jerie et al.
Mehr als Heimatfilm
Authors: Schilling Jonathan
Published: January 2023

Anhand bisher unbearbeiteter Quellen beleuchtet der Autor die Vorlieben des Kinopublikums der 1950er Jahre. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei Ruth Leuwerik als die beliebteste Schauspielerin und „Die Trapp-Familie“ als der meistgesehene Film dieser Zeit. Dass hingegen der sogenannte Heimatfilm – wie es ein verbreitetes Vorurteil will – das populärste Genre jener Jahre gewesen sein soll, muss anhand der Befunde relativiert werden. Jonathan Schilling zeigt, dass dieses Klischee auch auf die linke Filmpublizistik der 1950er und 1960er Jahre zurückgeht, die ein Zerrbild des Heimatfilms als Kulisse für ihre Polemik benutzte. Ein differenzierter Blick auf das Thema ist geeignet, den Film der 1950er Jahre in neuem Licht zu sehen.
Die Neue Rechte im letzten Jahrzehnt der Bonner Republik
Authors: Fischer Moritz
Published: January 2023

Der 1983 gegründete „Deutschlandrat“ stellt in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik einen der bedeutendsten Versuche der Neuen Rechten dar, sich zu organisieren und eine gemeinsame Gesprächsplattform zu bilden. Ihm gehörten unter anderem Armin Mohler, Hellmut Diwald und Franz Schönhuber an, die große Hoffnung in das Vorhaben setzten. Der Aufsatz wirft einen Blick hinter die Kulissen dieses Projekts und ordnet es in die Geschichte der Neuen Rechten in der Bonner Republik ein. Dabei zeigt sich, dass der „Deutschlandrat“ ein Projekt war, wieder Einfluss auf den bundesdeutschen Konservatismus zu gewinnen, der sich in den 1970er Jahren liberalisiert hatte. Der Versuch, der Marginalisierung neurechter Positionen im Kontext der bundesdeutschen Identitätsdebatte entgegenzuwirken, scheiterte letztlich. Resigniert und enttäuscht wandten sich unter anderem Mohler und Diwald daher der Parteipolitik zu und engagierten sich für das Unternehmen ihres Freunds Schönhuber, der mit den 1983 gegründeten Republikanern neurechte Ideologie in praktische Politik verwandeln wollte.
Die „Hölle“ bezeugen
Authors: Löw Andrea
Published: January 2023

Im Herbst 1941 begann die systematische Deportation der deutschen Jüdinnen und Juden „nach Osten“. Einer der Zielorte war Riga; zwischen dem 27. November 1941 und dem 6. Februar 1942 fuhren zwanzig Transporte mit insgesamt etwa 20.000 Menschen zum Güterbahnhof Riga-Skirotava. Die Insassen des ersten Transports aus Berlin erschossen SS- und Polizeikräfte direkt nach der Ankunft, die Menschen in den folgenden Zügen gelangten an verschiedene Orte in und bei Riga: das Lager Jungfernhof, das Getto von Riga und das Lager Salaspils. Unmittelbar nach dem Krieg zeichneten manche Überlebende auf, wie sie nach der Deportation an Orten überlebt hatten, die sie zuweilen als „die Hölle“ bezeichneten. Einige dieser Zeugnisse sind hier dokumentiert.

Southern multilateralism: Complementary competition vis-à-vis the Liberal International Order
Authors: Roy Indrajit
Published: January 2023

A growing literature documents the emergence of a “new multilateralism” in the postpandemic context (Telo 2020; Kaul 2020) and prior to it (IMF 2018; Hampson and Heinbecker 2011) to address challenges of inclusion and sustainability in global governance (Singh and Woolcock 2022, this special collection). Situated in the broader context of the changing global order, different strands of the literature debate the challenges offered by the “new multilateralism” to the Liberal International Order (Ikenberry 2018), highlight the role of non-state “power brokers” (Subacci 2014), and reflect on possibilities of South-South cooperation (Mawdsley 2013). This article contributes to the discussion by highlighting the role of “Southern multilateralism” not so much as a challenge to the Liberal International Order as suggestive of an emerging order that both complements it and competes with it.

Extensive desmoplasia and poor vasculature renders pancreatic tumors severely hypoxic, contributing to their aggressiveness and therapy resistance. Here, we identify the HuR/MYB/HIF1α axis as a critical regulator of the metabolic plasticity and hypoxic survival of pancreatic cancer cells. HuR undergoes nuclear‐to‐cytoplasmic translocation under hypoxia and stabilizes MYB transcripts, while MYB transcriptionally upregulates HIF1α. Upon MYB silencing, pancreatic cancer cells fail to survive and adapt metabolically under hypoxia, despite forced overexpression of HIF1α. MYB induces the transcription of several HIF1α‐regulated glycolytic genes by directly binding to their promoters, thus enhancing the recruitment of HIF1α to hypoxia‐responsive elements through its interaction with p300‐dependent histone acetylation. MYB‐depleted pancreatic cancer cells exhibit a dramatic reduction in tumorigenic ability, glucose‐uptake and metabolism in orthotopic mouse model, even after HIF1α restoration. Together, our findings reveal an essential role of MYB in metabolic reprogramming that supports pancreatic cancer cell survival under hypoxia.
Etnografia e Storiografia negli scritti odeporici di Fulvia Miani Perotti
Authors: Guida Patrizia
Published: January 2023

Attraverso i suoi scritti odeporici la scrittrice pugliese Fulvia Miani Perotti (1844 - 1931) ri-afferma l’identità regionale e con essa le tradizioni del genius loci secondo l’azione di propaganda di quelli che sono gli assi portanti della ricerca demologica in Italia negli anni post-unitari, ovvero il rapporto tra identità regionale e identità nazionale. Il saggio prende in analisi, in particolare, il suo volume di racconti, Profili e paesaggi, che contiene tre lunghi racconti di viaggio (Su pe’ Colli, Riva Adriatica, Nella Magna Grecia), in cui la scrittrice descrive la società rurale pugliese. L’analisi dei testi dimostra che Miani Perotti privilegia gli aspetti storiografici ed etnografici a scapito di una trama che diventa un mero pretesto per narrare usi e costumi, passato e presente, di un territorio familiare e, pertanto, non straniante.

El futuro como nuevo escenario para la mitología
Authors: Enrile Sánchez Francisco de Paula
Published: January 2023

El presente artículo se propone estudiar la influencia de los mitos de la Biblia en el imaginario del cine distópico. En una primera parte, se analizará cómo el proceso de racionalización del mundo, con el desarrollo de la historiografía, ha llevado al hombre a descartar el pasado como posible marco temporal de los mitos, empujándolo a buscar en el futuro nuevos posibles escenarios en los que desarrollar los temas que ya están presentes en las mitologías precedentes. Se analizará, en este sentido, cómo la Biblia constituye una poderosa fuente de mitos. En una segunda parte, se analizará cómo el cine distópico, como exponente de esta construcción de los mitos hacia el futuro, replica algunos de los temas e historias de la Biblia, aprovechándolos para desarrollar una nueva mitología moderna.
Del turco al árabe
Authors: Petit Lorenza
Published: January 2023

El estudio pretende investigar el vínculo que Bárbara Jacobs y Jorge Asís, autores latinoamericanos de origen árabe, mantienen, en su producción narrativa, con el mundo medio oriental de sus ancestros. El análisis se dirige a la representación del migrante árabe y su reconstrucción como respuesta al discurso orientalista presente en la literatura latinoamericana. De tal forma, el “árabe” se (re)incorpora, como elemento cultural, al imaginario latinoamericano y convierte a los autores en agentes culturales en México y Argentina.  El objetivo es demonstrar que, los nietos de estos flujos migratorios hacen patente, en sus textos, un cambio de discurso que contrarresta la imagen de Oriente y del migrante como inmutable e inamovible.
Funciones narrativas del auto de fe contra Paula de Eguiluz, Cartagena de Indias (1623-1636)
Authors: Puchades Ferrer Vicente
Published: January 2023

El objeto de nuestro estudio es el expediente inquisitorial conservado en el Archivo Histórico Nacional de Madrid, donde se recogen los tres juicios celebrados en la sede de Cartagena de Indias entre 1623-1636 contra Paula de Eguiluz, una esclava afrodescendiente acusada de brujería. El análisis retórico-literario de las actas presenta una rigurosa estructura forense y a la vez discursiva que traslada de manera ordenada la exposición de unos hechos en dos planos de acción: por un lado, el propio juicio, aristotélicamente articulado en introducción, nudo y desenlace; y por otro, los sucesos que acusada y testigos relatan. Cada plano muestra su particular lenguaje y discurso que tratamos siguiendo las aportaciones tanto de Propp y Bajtín, como de Barthes, Todorov, Even-Zohar, García Berrio y, más recientemente en los trabajos de Albaladejo y Baena, entre otros.
Pressions migratoires et ripostes institutionnelles des États postcoloniaux: analyse archéologique des politiques de libre circulation des personnes en Afrique centrale
Authors: NGOIE TSHIBAMBE GERMAIN
Published: January 2023

L’ère de la globalisation se caractérise par l’hypermobilité. Les flux matériels et immatériels et les mouvements des personnes bousculent les frontières des États. La condensation de ces mouvements des personnes donne lieu à l’émergence de toutes les figures dont le continuum va des migrants volontaires, des migrants irréguliers/clandestins aux réfugiés, sans négliger les déplacés internes. L’effet ‘push & pull’ en Afrique Centrale a donné lieu à un «système migratoire» (Mabogunje, cité par Ngoie 2012), ce dernier terme étant entendu comme cette configuration donnant forme à l’existence d’une carte des migrations présentant les pays de départ et les pays de destination ainsi que les pays de transit. La dynamique des mouvements migratoires dans cet espace a conduit les États de la région à chercher à faire face à cette question. Une solidarité organique fondée sur la géopolitique régionale a enclenché, à la suite du Plan d’Action de Lagos et de son Acte final, la mise en marche d’une quête cohérente de gouvernance collective à travers des communautés économiques régionales. La Communauté Économique des États de l’Afrique Centrale (CEEAC) va être créée en 1983: son Traité constitutif contient des dispositifs juridiques rappelant l’importance de la libre circulation des personnes. Le présent article entend analyser l’institution CEEAC et évaluer la portée et les limites de la quête de la mise en œuvre de la libre circulation des personnes. La recherche documentaire et des enquêtes de terrain dans cette région ont permis de récolter les données que nous allons présenter.

Published: January 2023

Introducción. La Región de las Altas Montañas (RAMVER) es la de mayor importancia productiva y socioeconómica para el cultivo del café del estado de Veracruz, México y una de las más representativas del sector a nivel nacional. Objetivo. Determinar la calidad de vida (CV) desde el punto de vista objetivo y subjetivo de los pequeños productores (PP) de café en la RAMVER, México. Materiales y métodos. Se aplicaron 150 entrevistas semiestructuradas a productores en once municipios ubicados en: Comapa, Coscomatepec, Huatusco, Ixhuatlán del café, Sochiapa, Tenampa, Tomatlán, Totutla, Tlaltetela, Tlacotepec y Zentla, durante el año 2020. Se obtuvo estadística descriptiva y medidas de tendencias central. Resultados. En el nivel objetivo, la CV se encontró baja, pero en el nivel subjetivo de los agricultores, se determinó como aceptable. En la valoración objetiva se identificó que los PP tienen educación mínima (primaria), el ingreso no es el adecuado (requieren realizar alguna actividad extra a la agrícola con un ingreso promedio anual neto de US $ 416 a US $1115); el costo de la salud se incrementó (por pandemia COVID-19) y se carece de una alimentación apropiada (19 a 25 comidas por mes). En la valoración subjetiva existe inseguridad y desconfianza con las autoridades gubernamentales, sin embargo, los productores se han adaptado a vivir en contextos socioeconómicos adversos, ya que valoran la vida en comunidad, las relaciones intrafamiliares y su entorno (la cafeticultura), esto pudiese estar influenciado por su propia cosmovisión. Conclusiones. Con o sin conocimiento sobre el concepto de calidad, los productores han desarrollado una capacidad aprendida o adquirida en lo individual y en lo colectivo para adaptarse al entorno. A nivel objetivo, la calidad de vida se consideró como baja, no obstante, los entrevistados tuvieron una percepción de satisfacción tanto en lo individual como en lo colectivo.

Durante los últimos años se ha identificado que una baja coordinación motriz general incide en una baja participación en instancias de juego libre, actividades deportivas organizadas y libres. A su vez, un mejor dominio motriz se relaciona con un bajo nivel de sedentarismo. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este artículo fue comparar el nivel de coordinación motriz general de niños y niñas participantes del componente de Iniciación Deportiva del programa “Escuelas Deportivas Integrales” (EDI) del Ministerio del Deporte Chile (“Crecer en Movimiento” desde 2019), según región de procedencia. En relación con la muestra, se evaluaron 341 niños y niñas de ocho regiones del país (Antofagasta, Coquimbo, Valparaíso, O’Higgins, Metropolitana, Bío–Bío, Araucanía y Los Lagos) cuyas edades fluctuaron entre los 6 y 11 años de edad. Para recopilar información, se utilizó el instrumento 3JS, compuesto por siete tareas (3 de locomoción y 4 de control de objetos). Los resultados reflejaron que los niños poseen mejor rendimiento que las niñas en coordinación motriz general. Al agrupar las pruebas del test según el tipo de coordinación, también superan a las damas en locomoción y en control de objetos. Los niños y niñas de la región de Los Lagos obtienen mejor rendimiento en seis de las siete pruebas. Se concluye que los varones superan a las damas en las pruebas de coordinación locomotriz y control de objetos, así como también en las puntuaciones de coordinación motriz general.
Application of Scenario Earthquakes for Analysis of Seismically Triggered Landslide Hazard: A Case Study in Costa Rica
Authors: Seal Dylan M. , Nowicki Jessee M. Anna , Hamburger Michael W. , Ruiz Paulo
Published: January 2023

In this study, we demonstrate the capabilities of hypothetical scenario earthquakes as a new tool for assessment of hazards associated with earthquake-triggered landslides. Costa Rica offers an ideal environment for demonstrating the utility of scenario earthquakes due to its diverse tectonic environments and associated widespread seismic hazard, rugged topography, and high landslide susceptibility. We investigate the relative influence of landslide proxies such as topographic slope, peak ground velocity (PGV), and compound topographic index (CTI), and earthquake source parameters such as magnitude and depth, on predicted landslide probability and fatality. We examine five distinct tectonic environments, including subduction events beneath the (1) Nicoya and (2) Osa peninsulas respectively, (3) intraplate earthquakes beneath the Central Volcanic Range (CVR) and (4) the Central Costa Rica Deformed Belt (CCRDB), and (5) back-arc thrust events on the eastern Caribbean coast. Our results demonstrate that the slope, PGV, and CTI thresholds necessary to produce landslide probabilities greater than 10% vary by tectonic environment. In all cases, we observe magnitude to be the primary control on the predicted maximum landslide probability and overall areal landslide coverage. We validate model predictions with observed landslide inventories from the 2009 Cinchona and 1991 Limon earthquakes, demonstrating a good fit, where over 70% of landslides occurring in zones of greater than 20% probability. We also use a global model of landslide impact to predict exposure and fatality ranges for each scenario earthquake of this study, revealing that moderate-sized earthquakes in the CCRDB and CVR and large subduction megathrust earthquakes each pose a significant hazard to Costa Rica’s population.

Published: January 2023

Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar una revisión bibliográfica sistemática de carácter descriptivo sobre la disponibilidad léxica desarrollada en Centroamérica desde los inicios hasta la actualidad. La investigación se ha llevado a cabo a partir de las búsquedas en Dialnet, Scielo, Google Scholar y DispoLex. Gracias a dicha revisión, se puede afirmar que los estudios sobre disponibilidad léxica en Costa Rica gozan de una fuerte tradición. En Guatemala, Panamá y El Salvador la investigación sobre disponibilidad léxica se encuentra en una etapa inicial (se han localizado pocas publicaciones). Y, en el caso de Nicaragua y Honduras, estas investigaciones aún no se han iniciado (no hay trabajos sobre este campo). Con este trabajo, por tanto, se presenta una herramienta de control bibliográfico inicial que quiere exponer, por un lado, la situación de cada uno de los países mencionados y, por otro, las particularidades de las investigaciones localizadas, así como sus aportaciones a la disponibilidad léxica.

Within the framework of national development, the budgeting system is an inseparable part of the national development planning system. Planning and budgeting are part of management development that is designed to realize the ideals of national development. Public finance is one of the most critical dimensions to assess the government's partiality to general needs. Many studies have addressed the essential roles of the government budget in trust in government. However, there has been no research that has critically examined the state's alignment with the community through regional budgets. Therefore, this study contributes to the body of knowledge by analyzing local government finance and identifies the weakness of the expenditure. We chose the financial conditions of the city government of Padang in 2018 as the research object. The research was conducted employing qualitative and secondary sources. This study found that the budget is not entirely in favor of the public. Many expenditures have been spent on the program, which does not directly affect society. In sum, Padang city budget has not fully benefited the people of Padang city and sided with them. Our analysis contributes to the study of public finance by strengthening pro-society finance. This study also contributes to the local government in designing and implementing public finance.

This problem is interesting to study because at this time the village has room to carry out governance. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The data sources consist of primary data with a total of 5 informants and secondary data with 3 types of documents. Data collection techniques were carried out by means of library research, and field studies (observations, interviews, and documents). Data analysis techniques were carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study are that the implementation of village asset management policies in the Proto Village Government is still experiencing several obstacles. Among them, in the aspect of communication, there is still a lack of training and mentoring for the SIPADES application. Non-human resources are still lacking in the internet network. In the disposition aspect, village asset management policies are top-down in nature. In addition, in the bureaucratic aspect of implementing village asset management policies in the Proto Village Government, Pekalongan Regency, they are still experiencing problems in the form of the process of inputting assets. Inputting takes a long time. Efforts can be made by holding intense assistance to all village governments in Pekalongan Regency in operating the SIPADES application. Assistance must be ongoing so that the village government can take advantage of the SIPADES application in helping to realize good governance.
