Authors: Prokic Danijela , Vukcevic Marija , Maletic Marina , Kalijadis Ana , Pejic Jovanka , Babic Biljana , Djurkic Tatjana
Published: June 2024

This study introduces a novel solid-phase extraction (SPE) method utilizing pristine and chemically treated carbon cryogel (CC) as an adsorbent for the isolation and enrichment of estrogen hormones (estrone, 17?-estradiol, and 17?-ethinylestradiol) from water samples. High recovery values (82?95 %) were obtained after optimizing the SPE technique, which included adsorbent mass and chemical treatment, sample volume and pH, and elution solvent type and volume. The developed analytical method, based on SPE coupled with liquid chromatography?tandem mass spectrometry (LC?MS/MS), proves to be selective, efficient, and cost-effective for the determination of selected estrogens. The utilization of self-made cartridges with chemically modified CC produced results comparable to those obtained with commercial cartridges while employing significantly less material. Furthermore, the selectivity of the employed materials contributed to minor matrix effects. The optimized method was successfully applied to analyze estrogen hormones in groundwater, surface water, and wastewater samples, with the results highlighting the importance of monitoring these contaminants in the aquatic environment.

Authors: Rogner Danielle , Laura Heimerl  , Biedermann Tilo , Sattler Elke , Zink Alexander
Published: June 2024

The MDHHgermany registry was initiated to characterize the “real-life” situation of affected individuals with Darier’s disease (DD; Morbus Darier, MD) and Hailey-Hailey disease (HH), including their treatment and healthcare. To gain deeper insights into medical care of patients with DD, various aspects such as demographics, subjective symptoms, patient satisfaction with medical care, past and current therapies were explored. Patients with diagnosed DD were included. Subjective symptoms such as itch, pain and burning sensation were assessed. Individual therapy goals were recorded and patients assessed previous/current therapies along with satisfaction of medical care and treatment. A total of 55 patients were recruited; 47 patients were eligible for the analysis. Pruritus was rated the most bothersome symptom. Some 42.6% had not received systemic treatment so far or systemic therapies were rated ineffective (32.6%). Most commonly oral retinoids were prescribed, followed by corticosteroids. Patient satisfaction with medical care and treatment proved to be mediocre. This “real-life” data show an alarming unmet need regarding patients’ satisfaction with medical care and treatment, evidenced by the reported lack of disease control. Further studies and interventions are needed to improve the spectrum of available therapies. MDHHgermany provides a foundational platform for future clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and pathophysiological analyses.
What do secondary school pupils eat at school? The barriers experienced in collecting transactional data from canteen purchases.
Authors: Gilmour Alice , Fairchild Ruth
Published: June 2024

Introduction & BackgroundWelsh secondary schools generally use a cashless catering system and pupils pay for school food and drink via contactless cards, thumb or fingerprint biometric scanning. Helpfully, the digital footprint of school canteen purchase data already exists and is continually compiled over a limitless period. Compared to other methods of recording dietary intake (i.e., questionnaires and food diaries), utilising this transactional data is an unobtrusive method of data collection and has great potential.
Although individual-level transactional data is being amassed, it remains unexploited by either the school, local authorities or Welsh Government. Obtaining this anonymised individual-level transactional data would provide immense insight into what pupils purchase throughout the school day.
Objectives & ApproachThe Welsh School Meals (WSM) project aimed to investigate the feasibility of using secondary school canteen transactional data to better understand what pupils purchase during the school day and its nutritional quality. Semi-structured interviews have been conducted with a representative from all cashless system providers (n=7) used in Welsh secondary schools. Next, the WSM project initially aimed to recruit nine secondary schools, with the methodological plan to: (i) liaise with head teachers; (ii) mine data; (iii) interview catering managers and head teachers; (iv) facilitate nutritional analysis; (v) conduct focus groups with pupils; and (vi) co-produce case studies.
Relevance to Digital FootprintsSchool canteen transaction data is a form of digital footprint and utilising it to understand the current landscape of food and drink choices during the school day will inform Public Health policymakers and practice.
ResultsDespite trying numerous strategies, the WSM project has encountered blockages which have prevented data acquisition. The four key stumbling blocks faced were: (i) identifying data providers; (ii) identifying data owners; (iii) data sharing; and, (iv) engaging stakeholders. Only the first barrier has been overcome and despite starting school recruitment in May 2023, the latter three barriers have stalled any progress.
Conclusions & ImplicationsExploiting existing cashless catering system technology to collect individual-level big data from school canteen transactions has enormous potential. However, the WSM project has concluded that obtaining this data was not feasible.
Leveraging multiple digital footprint datasets to predict racial, sex-based, and sexual-orientation bias across US states
Authors: Derecki Raphael , O'Shea Brian , Goulding James
Published: June 2024

Introduction & BackgroundRacial, gender, and sexual-orientation biases are pervasive throughout society. Importantly, modern digitally oriented datasets can elucidate important societal variables and potential solutions. One contemporary theory that attempts to explain these biases is parasite-stress: an evolutionary psychology hypothesis suggesting that increased infectious diseases rates increase out-group biases. We present preliminary findings that suggest that disease rates are a meaningful geospatial predictor of multiple biases.
Objectives & ApproachWe explored biases using geospatial analyses throughout multiple datasets based on US participants: Project Implicit, American National Election Studies (ANES), Google Trends, and Twitter/X. We included state-based variables to compare between states and assess the most important environmental-level predictors of biases. We built generalised linear and linear mixed-effect models and general linear models. Within Project implicit (n > 3,000,000) and ANES datasets (n > 30,000), we assessed racial and sexual-orientation biases via explicit and implicit measures. For Google Trends and Twitter/X datasets, we assessed racial and sex-based biases via search and tweet-per-state scores. To analyse the biases, we included environmental-level variables, e.g., infectious disease rates (developed by Thornhill and Fincher in 2014), and individual-level variables, e.g., political orientation.
Relevance to Digital FootprintsThese preliminary findings analyse everyday people’s online behaviour including volunteered surveys, searches and posts. We attempt to address the pressing societal issue of bias by leveraging modern datasets. Our primary goal is to aid policy makers by recommending cost-effective solutions that can improve several factors of the population’s quality of life.
ResultsWe find that the most consistently significant predictor of racial bias is infectious disease rates. When leveraging Google Trends data including anti-women terminology, infectious disease rates and population density are consistent predictors of bias. Finally, we find preliminary results suggesting that increased levels of infectious diseases increases homophobic bias.
Conclusions & ImplicationsOverall, we find that as infectious disease rates increase in a state, the level of racial and sexist bias significantly increases. Consistent with parasite-stress theory, we argue that focusing on reducing infectious disease rates in an area can have a plethora of benefits including improving physical and mental health and reducing biases that damage society.
Predicting Healthy Start Scheme Uptake using Deprivation and Food Insecurity Measures.
Authors: Makokoro Kuzivakwashe , Long Gavin , Harvey John , Smith Andrew , Welham Simon , Lukinova Evgeniya , Goulding James
Published: June 2024

Introduction & BackgroundThe level of food insecurity in England is widening, with low-income families requiring more support to reduce income inequalities. The government have introduced policies to address these issues with targeted subsidies on healthy food on programs such as the Healthy Start Scheme. Despite this, national uptake of the Healthy Start Scheme remains lower than the government target.
Objectives & ApproachOur study aims to predict uptake and take up discrepancies at a local authority level and understand the measures contributing to the prediction using anonymised supermarket loyalty card data records for over 4 million customers, deprivation and food insecurity measures. We used a machine-learning approach utilising transactional data, ONS Index of Deprivation datasets, neighbourhood statistics, and NHS Healthy Start Scheme uptake data. Regression prediction models were used to evaluate and predict the outcomes, whilst feature importance tools were used to evaluate the variables weighing within the model.
Relevance to Digital FootprintsThis study leverages transaction data from a UK retailer to understand lifestyle factors at a local authority level and assesses their usefulness in predicting the scheme’s uptake. Loyalty card transactional data can provide valuable insight into purchase behaviour linked to health and nutrition.
ResultsThe Linear and Ridge Regression models performed better than other prediction models. Analysis of measures revealed that whilst deprivation and population-related measures had a high contribution to the prediction model, findings from transactional data measures provided valuable insight into shopping behavioural characteristics that contribute to the model performance. Results suggested that areas with higher spending on fruits and vegetables and high-calorie food were associated with higher uptake prediction in test data but the converse for high spend on fish.
Conclusions & ImplicationsOur study indicates that shopping data measures such as spend on fruits and vegetables, high-calorie food, fish and products bought can be utilised for prediction models for uptake and take-up discrepancy of the Healthy Start Scheme. This study highlights the complexity of understanding factors influencing public policy effectiveness and the need for tailored approaches in diverse urban contexts.

The present study compares the university student’s experiences of learning in virtual mode during unprecedented impacts of the COVID-19 in Bangladesh and Indonesia with a focus on the enjoyment, performance, satisfaction, and cost of online learning.This was quantitative cross-sectional research conducted by using an online survey with the participation of 438 and 529 university students in Bangladesh and Indonesia. The findings reveal that university students in Bangladesh have little more comfortable with online learning compared to those in Indonesia. The students in both countries have no problem with adaptation to avant-garde online learning platforms. University students in Bangladesh appear little more satisfied with online teaching while those in Indonesia tend to be less satisfied. University students either in Bangladesh or in Indonesia consider online learning as an expensive learning mode. The present study depicts an early online remote learning experience of university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the nature of the descriptive comparative study focusing on Bangladesh and Indonesia, the results of this study may not be generalised. Specific factors underlying their experiences are in need of further investigation. In future endeavours, lectures are urged to actively harness proper technologies, mix between conventional and virtual learning or blend synchronous and asynchronous learning to provide more enjoyable and interesting online learning thus the students can be more satisfied.

Published: June 2024

This study analyzes the condition of industrial workshops related to Occupational Safety and Health (K3) equipment and workshop regulations according to supervisors' and industrial instructors’ views. The availability of K3 equipment and workshop rule standards are considered important due to the development of students' industrial cultural character toward fostering job readiness. The results show the K3 culture in the Prakerin industry tends to be positive. It is found the necessity to focus on commitment and management style as the key to improving safety culture. Although K3 document is considered sufficient, workers’ and students’ response vary in K3 culture of Prakerin. This indicates the need for improving understanding of safety in Prakerin. Based on the F-test, the availability of documents and worker culture simultaneously affect the student's K3 culture. Although the t-test shows that work safety documents have no significant effect, worker safety culture has a very significant influence on student work safety culture. It concludes that the adoption of K3 culture by workers in industry influenced the K3 culture of Prakerin students. This study recommends to exploring influence of industrial environment on student character by evaluating various industry, for understanding student’ character building and job readiness of vocational graduates.

Authors: Brandão Ana Karine Dias Caires , Silva Maria José Ferreira da , Almouloud Saddo Ag
Published: June 2024

O intuito deste artigo é inserir a dimensão da linguagem na análise do problema didático com o mesmo grau de relevância atribuído às dimensões epistemológica, ecológica e econômica ao estudar um objeto matemático. Delineamos um encontro com doze estudantes de Engenharias e de Licenciatura em Matemática de duas universidades públicas do interior da Bahia e propomos uma tarefa com o tema Integral Dupla, para o cálculo da medida do volume de uma Superfície Quádrica, o paraboloide hiperbólico. Como pressupostos teóricos tomamos como aporte a Teoria Antropológica do Didático (TAD) e a Semiótica Peirceana e o constructo elaborado pelos autores das quatro linguagens: contrafactual, dictarizada, em curso, em (dis)curso. Cinco dos estudantes resolveram a tarefa, três das Engenharias, que criaram uma questão no contexto de sua graduação, os outros dois, da Licenciatura em Matemática, se atentaram ao desenvolvimento de cálculos. Os resultados obtidos revelaram que os futuros engenheiros aplicaram de forma acentuada a linguagem contrafactual e em (dis)curso, enquanto, os da Licenciatura, a linguagem dictarizada e em curso; os dozes estudantes sentiram dificuldades na coautoria da elaboração, solução e análise das atividades, por não encontraremmodelos semelhantes nos livros didáticos e nas mídias. Inferimos que a dimensão da linguagem foi relevante para o desenvolvimento do raciocínio abdutivo e para a coautoria dos estudantes quanto a criação e solução dos enunciados de questões de Integral Dupla.

Authors: Utari Indah Sri , Arifin Ridwan , Ramada Diandra Preludio
Published: June 2024

The rapid evolution of technology, particularly the ubiquitous presence of the internet, has brought about significant societal changes. While technological advancements have brought numerous benefits, they have also introduced new challenges and risks. Among these challenges is the alarming rise of child grooming, a form of sexual harassment perpetrated against minors, facilitated by the online environment. In Indonesia, the incidence of child grooming is increasingly prevalent, with several reported cases highlighting its emergence as a pressing societal issue. However, the absence of specific legal frameworks addressing this crime has posed significant challenges for law enforcement authorities tasked with its prevention and prosecution. The lack of dedicated legislation targeting child grooming underscores the need for a comprehensive legal response to effectively combat this form of exploitation. Currently, law enforcement officials rely on discretion in the absence of specific legal provisions, resulting in ad-hoc approaches to addressing these cases. This paper employs a normative juridical approach, utilizing The Statute Approach, to examine the legal landscape surrounding child grooming in Indonesia. By synthesizing existing literature and statutory regulations, this study aims to shed light on the legal complexities inherent in combating this emerging crime. In conclusion, while child grooming remains a relatively new phenomenon in Indonesia, its detrimental impact on minors necessitates urgent legislative action. By enacting dedicated laws and policies, the Indonesian government can provide law enforcement agencies with the necessary tools to effectively address and mitigate the prevalence of child grooming, ensuring the protection and well-being of the nation's youth.

Published: June 2024

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading global cause of death, particularly in low to middle-income countries. Early and accurate diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is vital, but limited access to healthcare hinders effective management. This study utilized machine learning to develop mathematical models for ACS risk detection. Data from 249 individuals with ACS or suspected heart disease were used to construct twelve models with different parameters and classifiers. Performance indicators, including accuracy, Matthews correlation coefficient, and precision, were employed for evaluation. The Random Forest classifier demonstrated superior performance, achieving 90.45% accuracy for internal validation and 86% for external validation. Critical criteria for ACS diagnosis were CK-MB, age, coronary artery disease, and Troponin T value. The models developed in this study significantly prevent potential deaths via rapid intervention and reduce healthcare expenditures by minimizing unnecessary human resources and repeat tests.

Published: June 2024

Technological advances have created translation tools as part of translation technology, which is widely used by the public and academics, including students. On the one hand, students accept the existence of translation technology positively as it provides easiness for them to do their coursework. This research aimed to discover the impact of translation technology on students' translation skills. The result of this study is a recommendation for translation course lecturers to suggest that students utilize translation technology. The participants of this study were 25 students of the English Education Study Program of Universitas Muhammadiyah Palu. They were selected by using a total sampling technique. The data found indicates that a constant of 39.234 shows that students' Translation Skills are worth 39.234 without using Translation Technology. The regression coefficient of 0.794 indicates that each increase in Translation Technology use will increase Translation Skills by 0.794. The results of this study signify that translation technology does not significantly impact students' translation skills. The probability number is 0.103, which is greater than 0.05. Consequently, the H0 is accepted, or there is no significant influence of Translation Technology on the Translation Skills of student translators. The study implies that technology tool is a secondary aspect of promoting translating skills.

Argumentation is crucial in education in activating students’ critical thinking and increasing their ability in thinking reflectively. TAP model as an integrated assessment framework could be used to measure their critical thinking. Thus, the aims of the study are (1) to identify the elements of the argument structures in the Japanese and Korean EFL learners’ argumentative essays, based on the (adapted) Toulmin model, (2) to evaluate the quality of the Japanese and Korean EFL learners’ argumentative writing based on the uses of the Toulmin Argument Pattern (TAP), and (3) to determine whether female and male learners have the same or different quality of argument pattern. A qualitative descriptive research design and a library research approach were carried out on this study to answer the research questions. Library research was used to collect sources and evaluate the sources taken from the ICNALE and sophisticated contrastive interlanguage analysis of Asian learners of English. The data sources were the Japanese and Korean EFL learners’ argumentative writing. Based on the quality of arguments, all students covered 1–4 levels. The highest was level 2, and the lowest was level 4. It tends to be the majority of students who are still in level 2. It needs practice to write argumentatively in order to shape the writing ability to organize a good surface structure and acceptable arguments.

Authors: Darong Hieronimus Canggung
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study was to know the effects of using self-recording in peer and self-assessment in language learning. This mixed-method research design with post-test control groups utilized speaking tests, rubrics, self-assessment checklists, interview guides, and teaching scenarios to collect data. Instrument preparation, validation, and reliability tests were all part of rigorous data-gathering procedures. Using stratified random sampling, participants were divided into control and experimental groups. Each group received different treatment, using self-recording for peer and self-assessment in the experimental group and traditional oral presentations in the control group. Speaking performances by students were recorded for self-and peer assessment, whereas the control group was assessed using a teacher's criteria. The results of the posttest showed that the experimental group fared much better than the control group, demonstrating the superior effectiveness of self-recording in enhancing speaking skill. In addition, the results of the interview confirmed that self-recording is meaningful for self-control, feedback, time-shifted assessment, equity, and fairness. More importantly, the transformative power of self-recording in assessments highlights the critical function of self-recording in strengthening self-regulation abilities. Thus, in educational and assessment contexts, this technique has the potential to unleash hidden self-regulation capacities, resulting in deep personal development and positive transformations.
Concepción de la Tierra a través del tiempo
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Colombia, García Dubán Horacio
Published: June 2024

El estudio de la historia de la geodesia muestra el progreso en el conocimiento sobre temas relacionados con la forma y el tamano de la tierra, y con las posiciones relativas de los continentes sobre la superficie. Las primeras ideas del ser humano acerca de la tierra a su alrededor probablemente incluían poco más allá de lo que podían ver, ya que la vista estaba limitada por el horizonte; en consecuencia, la superficie parecía plana. La idea de la esfericidad no se generó hasta que los filósofos de la Grecia clásica aplicaron la razón al problema, y unos quinientos años antes del nacimiento de Cristo la tierra fue concebida como esférica.
La poética del travelling: Béla Tarr (1955)
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana, Saldarriaga Montoya José Fernando
Published: June 2024

Encontrar un director de cine, cuya lentitud se asemeja a la bella forma de mirar los rostros, es habitar los espacios donde moran las emociones, y es, como en el caso de Ingmar Bergman provocar el Ser y hacerlo cómplice de lo que oculta. Prodigioso y gratificante asomarse de nuevo al rizoma fílmico de los silencios y los rostros, donde Bergman nos había acostumbrado, y sobre estos el declarado miedo de una afonía sepulcral, donde su cine quedará en los anaqueles o en las grafías nostálgicas de los ego críticos de cine. Como un buen viento después de una tormenta se asoma, de forma inesperada, un director húngaro que nos avisa, en pleno siglo XXI, que nada ha concluido, que aún vivimos en tiempo de desencanto y la ideología, como las religiones que todavía santifican la comodidad, no son más que una mascarada. Solo el arte puede develar ese auscultamiento del poder. Béla Tarr “no cesa de recalcar dos ideas muy simples. Es el hombre preocupado por expresar al máximo la realidad, tal como la viven los hombres. Y un cineasta enteramente entregado a su arte” (Ranciere, 2011, p. 13).
La taifa de Denia

En el año 1011 fue nombrado wali de Denia Abú-al-Jaix al-Muwaffaq ibn Abd-Al·lah al-Amirí, más conocido como Mujáhid (“El guerrero”), por el propio Almanzor, del cual había sido paje. Era un general de origen esclavo eslavo (saqaliba) y miembro de la élite del califato omeya nacido en la propia Córdoba, en el año 990. Había sido primer ministro (hajib) de Abderramán Sanchuelo y jefe de la armada califal; era, pues, la figura más importante del califato en el plano administrativo y militar de Sharq al-Ándalus, con una mentalidad yihadista propia de la dinastía amirí con la cual quiso expandir el islam por el Mediterráneo. Era un hombre culto. Su pasión por las letras, el estudio del Corán y las ciencias atrajo a Denia una gran cantidad de poetas y sabios. Fue el primer rey taifa de Denia, cuando cambió su título de wali por el de emir o rey en 1013, con la confirmación de su autoridad por parte de los habitantes de la madina.

Published: June 2024

Un estudio juicioso del Manifiesto de Córdoba debe partir de preguntas vigentes y actuales, formuladas desde la realidad latinoamericana y colombiana en el tiempo y el espacio que nos ha correspondido actuar. Desde décadas atrás, el Manifiesto, que desde 1918 articuló grandes gestas universitarias e inspiró las movilizaciones más importantes de las juventudes estudiosas en la primera mitad del siglo pasado, está siendo olvidado por las generaciones nuevas que se ocupan del pensamiento universitario o practican la militancia cultural y política. No se trata ahora de recuperar la vigencia de un documento porque sí. Las efemérides son reediciones de nostalgias que a menudo transitan los caminos de lo mítico. Lejos de una reedición artificiosa, el ejercicio al que estamos convocados consiste en interrogar al Manifiesto de Córdoba sobre lo que pueda aportar al entendimiento del mundo universitario actual, las complejas relaciones entre este y la sociedad que lo produce y lo condiciona, y sobre los descontentos y las angustias que rodean el trasegar de las juventudes pensantes en la actualidad.
El soldado colombiano como víctima y su papel multimisional en el posacuerdo
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana, Sarache Silva César Augusto
Published: June 2024

Colombia, durante los últimos cincuenta años, ha padecido un conflicto armado de carácter no internacional. Innumerables compatriotas sufrieron los avatares de una guerra irregular: muerte, desplazamiento, violencia sexual, dolor y sufrimiento fueron, por décadas, las características más evidentes de la degradación, de la guerra en muchas zonas del territorio nacional, regiones del país que vieron crecer sus generaciones en medio de las balas, de la intimidación; un escenario apocalíptico que hacía inviable el desarrollo personal. En ese contexto, el Estado, a través de su fuerza pública, intentaba recuperar las zonas de mayor influencia de los grupos armados desplegando tropas a lo largo y ancho del territorio nacional para, de alguna manera, disminuir la amenaza que provenía de las estructuras guerrilleras que desde su creación siempre buscaron la toma del poder y, para tal fin, la combinación de todas las formas de lucha, el eje central de la confrontación armada. Métodos y formas disímiles de adelantar las hostilidades se armonizaron para demostrar, a través de la fuerza, su presencia y poderío bélico y político, toma de poblaciones, atentados terroristas en las ciudades y utilización de artefactos explosivos improvisados se convirtieron en las herramientas por excelencia para prolongar y degradar la confrontación; todo ello derivó en un conflicto asimétrico, complejo, lleno de víctimas, mártires y heridos en todos los bandos; escenario que ponía en tela de juicio la gobernabilidad que se entendía perdida, especialmente a finales de la década de los noventa. A partir de allí, era necesario recuperar la institucionalidad. El fortalecimiento de la fuerza pública como herramienta del ius puniendi comenzó, de manera paulatina, a cambiar la balanza; se incrementó la presencia militar y policial en los pueblos, se reformó la doctrina operacional al incluir operaciones combinadas entre todas las fuerzas y, con base en una mejora significativa de la inteligencia, se comenzaron a dar golpes contundentes a las estructuras armadas ilegales. Esta contundencia en la represión permitió, sin duda, al cabo de los años, alcanzar un acuerdo con las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC).
La sombra de una bandolera

Ser un bandolero en Colombia, durante la época de La Violencia, es sinónimo de ser un ciudadano proscrito, sin identidad ante el Estado y mudo ante la sociedad, quizás. Lo que llevó a Rosalba —protagonista de la película La sargento Matacho (2015) de William González— a convertirse en una bandolera es semejante al espectáculo del cavaliere Cipola, que llevó a Mario a tomar por vida la de un pistolero en la novela de Thomas Mann; es el punto cúspide de la metáfora de un nacionalismo por todo o por nada, visto en la escena de las posibilidades y límites del libre albedrío y la voluntad.
La literatura y la imagen de Jesús. Asuntos varios desde la escritura y la imaginación
Authors:   Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Ánjel Memo
Published: June 2024

El cristianismo partió el mundo conocido en dos y, en su conjunto y con el paso del tiempo, se convirtió en la religión monoteísta más grande de la tierra. Sus seguidores, desde las distintas profesiones de fe, tienen claro que Jesús fue Dios que se hizo hombre y redimió a la humanidad con unas nuevas prácticas éticas que tienen como objetivo poner al reino de los cielos por encima de cualquier otra manifestación terrestre. Con base en esta premisa, Jesús es un hecho cumplido para los creyentes, es el mesías y su presencia y sus seguidores son la demostración de que su aparición (en lo humano y lo divino) fue verdadera y, sobre ella y sus enseñanzas, se construyó la cultura occidental.
El giro epistemológico Moriniano: El caos como organización
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana, Salcedo Gutiérrez Hernando
Published: June 2024

Edgar Morin parte de la idea que la forma clásica de entender la ciencia es insuficiente a la hora de intentar resolver los problemas complejos que vive la humanidad. Por ello, su trabajo epistemológico consiste en intentar armar una perspectiva de ciencia acorde con los tiempos. El presente texto tiene como objeto mostrar que en su filosofar puede encontrarse una nueva idea de ciencia, una nueva epistemología, término que hay que entender en el contexto moriniano de conocimiento de segundo orden, es decir, de conocimiento del conocimiento; y que cuatro son las características más visibles de esta nueva epistemología: Primera, retoma el saber producido por nuevas disciplinas científicas que hacen su aparición en la primera mitad del siglo XX; segunda, esta nueva epistemología no evade la pregunta por las relaciones entre orden-desorden-organización; tercera, fundamenta una nueva idea de sujeto cognoscente; y cuarta, aspira a una mirada transdisciplinar. En este sentido, la reflexión moriniana se distingue por ser un ir y venir de la filosofía a la ciencia y viceversa, tratando de unir cabos para proponer una epistemología lo suficientemente filosófica para que nos permita ver el todo y lo suficientemente científica para que nos permita ver la parte.
La pasión de la biografía
Authors:   Universidad de Antioquia, Zuluaga Esnedy
Published: June 2024

“Esta primera biografía de Augusto Monterroso es una verdadera hazaña. Lámbarry domina el arte de la biografía y mantiene el difícil equilibrio entre dos voces: la supuesta voz neutra del académico y la voz apasionada del novelista”. Con estas palabras, An Van Hecke presenta en la contracarátula del libro el trabajo de Alejandro Lámbarry. Su carácter ensayístico y académico queda determinado por el título de la colección (“Públicaensayo”), el cual tiene un objetivo preciso: “canal de difusión para las investigaciones que se elaboran en las universidades e instituciones de educación superior del país [...] en torno a escritores fundamentales para la cultura hispanoamericana”.
Cuento: López

El bus de las siete y diez se retrasó. Pasó a las siete y trece. No lo entendió como un presagio de todo lo que el tiempo iba a hacer de él en aquel fatídico día. Cuando López miró el reloj eran las once y quince, pero su estómago, implacable, le anunciaba las doce. ¿Dónde estaban esos cuarenta y cinco minutos que su vientre infalible reclamaba? López llevaba veintiocho años, cinco meses y dos días laborando en la empresa; y por primera vez lo hostigaba el hambre antes del mediodía. Tratando de buscar el origen de su trastorno orgánico, repasó el recorrido de ese martes, igual a cualquier día laborable de la semana, de cualquier semana del mes, de cualquier mes del año. Iniciaba a las cuatro y cuarenta y cinco.
Relato: Se te hace tarde

Ella pasó por su cabello anaranjado sus delicadas manos mientras, a su vez, me hacía un ademán para recibir el cigarrillo ya casi consumado por ambos, que minutos antes había hecho parte de la conclusión de nuestro íntimo encuentro. “Debes irte, se te hace tarde”, sentenció como de costumbre mientras en mí se empezaba a formar la idea de que todo esto acabaría por fulminar con alguno de los dos, sino a los dos al tiempo; algo así como una fulminación concertada tácitamente. Al paso que me preguntaba ‘¿Para qué se me haría tarde?’.

No sé ni por dónde empezar. Y la verdad, hoy más que nunca, me siento perdida, me cuesta descifrarme, entenderme, ser consciente de lo que siento (aunque muchas veces ni yo misma lo sé), me cuesta encontrarme, ubicarme, estudiarme, sentirme, guiarme, protegerme, impulsarme, y en general, deshojar las páginas de mi vida, esas que componen mi historia y que e una u otra forma son el motor de mi existencia.

Paz imperfecta, conflicto y derecho en la lucha por el derecho, de Rudolf Von Ihering
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana, Vallejo Piedrahíta Catalina
Published: June 2024

La formación del Estado moderno y el surgimiento del derecho como una ciencia autónoma han tenido mucho que ver con la búsqueda de la paz. En este ensayo sostendré que el acercamiento de Rudolf von Ihering al derecho como lucha hace parte de un cambio de paradigma sobre el rol que los juristas clásicos europeos le venían dando a la paz en el derecho, y en consecuencia, al cómo y para qué usar el derecho. En Ihering la paz ya no es más un estado perfecto que estaría disponible sólo en el futuro, sino un proceso conflictivo que se puede dar todos los días. Que se da en el presente.
La tutela: ¿Requisito administrativo o acción constitucional?
Authors:   Quintero López Abogados SAS, Quintero Juan Pablo , Correa María José ,   Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana, Garzón Isabella ,   Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana
Published: June 2024

El propósito del presente escrito es analizar el alcance del artículo 86 de la norma primaria colombiana, para determinar su naturaleza de acción constitucional, o en su defecto, si se trata de un requisito administrativo que exigen algunos servidores públicos y entidades del Estado, para hacer efectivo el cumplimiento de los derechos humanos y fundamentales que consagra la Constitución Política de Colombia, 1991, dentro del ordenamiento jurídico colombiano. En suma, la Ley 1474, Estatuto Anticorrupción, 2011, es una herramienta de naturaleza legal que fortalece la función pública, como estrategia de una gestión de calidad, para prevenir el daño antijurídico a los coasociados y que sea el Estado el establecimiento de la defensa jurídica de garantías constitucionales, reconociendo las marcadas diferencias de las relaciones generales y especiales de sujeción. Con base en lo anterior, la existencia normativa no implica que el sistema estructural del Estado funcione de manera armónica; tampoco, que la indebida aplicación teórica de los servidores públicos, que representan el poder del Estado, signifique un error de las categorías deónticas que conforma el sistema jurídico. Por lo tanto, el punto de equilibrio para racionalizar los trámites administrativos y satisfacer un adecuado servicio a los ciudadanos es concientizar, capacitar, vigilar y sancionar al funcionario del Estado. No es dable permitir el uso reiterado e injustificado de procedimientos judiciales como la tutela, para impulsar o concretar un derecho subjetivo, el cual está reglado conforme al mandato del artículo 6 constitucional, es decir, los particulares realizarán todo aquello que no se encuentre prohibido, a diferencia de los servidores públicos, que efectuarán todo aquello que se encuentre permitido, bajo el mandato del principio de legalidad. La acción de tutela, según el artículo 86 de la Carta Política de 1991, es el mecanismo por el cual los ciudadanos pretenden reclamar la protección inmediata de sus derechos fundamentales, cuando consideren han sido afectados o amenazados por las autoridades públicas o entidades privadas. Asimismo, bajo la modalidad de proceder de algunos funcionarios públicos, ante las solicitudes verbales o escritas presentadas por los sujetos de derecho, puede entenderse que se ha ido constituyendo como un requisito administrativo, y no como una verdadera acción constitucional.
