Fact-checking y vigilancia del poder: La verificación del discurso público en los nuevos medios de América Latina
Authors: Palau-Sampio Dolors
Published: March 2022

El fact-checking ha experimentado un desarrollo importante en los últimos años, como técnica destinada a la verificación del discurso público, en un momento en que la difusión de noticias falsas o la pérdida de calidad y credibilidad de los medios alcanza cotas preocupantes. Este artículo analiza nueve iniciativas surgidas desde 2010 en media docena de países latinoamericanos, representativas de un ecosistema emergente en una región enfrentada a menudo con problemas para alcanzar una verdadera democracia mediática. Desde una aproximación cualitativa y cuantitativa, esta investigación compara la metodología de trabajo y las modalidades de evaluación que presentan, así como las temáticas y actores que se someten a examen. El estudio pone de relieve la voluntad de estas plataformas, independientes de los medios tradicionales, de evaluar pronunciamientos sobre las cuestiones más relevantes de la agenda sociopolítica y de los representantes públicos. La importancia de estas plataformas queda patente si se tiene en cuenta que apenas dos de cada diez chequeos revisados en la muestra pueden considerarse verdaderos, casi la mitad de los identificados como falsos y de los que presentan algún tipo de imprecisión. La investigación revela diferencias importantes a la hora de llevar a cabo las verificaciones y presentar los resultados, con opciones de mejora en el número de fuentes, la incorporación de expertos y recursos audiovisuales, o la interacción con los lectores. La plataforma argentina Chequeado constituye un modelo de referencia en este contexto.
Populist parties in Western Europe. An analysis of the three core elements of populism
Authors: Fernández-García Belén , Luengo Óscar G.
Published: March 2022

Populism has become a widespread phenomenon across Western Europe, especially after the economic crisis of 2008. However, we can still observe some confusion in the academy and the media about the definition of populism, which has led to a very contested and vague use of the term. This article aims to contribute to the conceptual clarification of populism, analysing its presence in a selection of political parties in four Western European countries, and separating the core elements from those of their host ideologies. In order to reach our goals, we conducted a content analysis of a selection of electoral manifestos of eight political parties: Podemos, Sinn Féin, United Kingdom Independence Party and Swiss People’s Party (populist parties); Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party, Labour Party, Conservative Party and Green Liberal Party of Switzerland (non-populist parties from the same countries). Regarding the methodological approach, we ran a classical content analysis and Key Words in Context content analysis. On the one hand, our results confirm that the minimal definition of populism used in this research is consistent to differentiate between populist and non-populist parties. On the other hand, conclusions also show that host ideologies are the main source of divergences between populist parties, especially the presence or absence of nativism.

Prawa konsumenta a generacje praw człowieka
Authors:   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, Polska, Malczyńska-Biały Mira
Published: March 2022

Consumer rights is a fast-evolving area within the sphere of protection of human rights, whereas the idea of generations of human rights makes reference to the established classification in international law. At the turn of the 21st century there were discussions about the fourth and the fifth generations. The article focuses on answering the question of whether the consumer’s rights are a new generation of human rights and who, among the international neighbours, has the most extensive case law. Analysing international law, the author came to the conclusion that none of the international case-laws include the entire idea of „consumer rights” within the frame of one generation. The third-generation rights are open, and it seems that considering consumers as a group, their rights should belong to that generation, and in that meaning they may be defined as a “new generation”. Analysing case law of international courts the author came to the conclusion that in this regard the European Court of Justice has the most extensive law.

Published: March 2022

The great importance of the tasks undertaken by communes in the sphere of authority in the field of counteracting alcoholism and their decisive importance for the shape of the model of limiting the availability of alcohol in the commune mean that they should be implemented using both a broad and deep perspective. The instrument for obtaining this perspective is cooperation, which was noticed by the legislator and regulated in the Alcohol Act, placing it among others. in the broadly understood decision-making sphere, including both the making and the application of law. However, the analysis of the legal regulations of the forms of this cooperation provided for in the Alcohol Act provides many critical remarks. Critical remarks on the statutory regulation of the institution of cooperation in the law-making process in communes indicate shortcomings that can be corrected under the amendment. However the assessment of the legal regulation of cooperation in the procedure of issuing permits for the sale of alcoholic beverages is clearly negative. Its substitution by a new regulation should be based on its clear vision.

Spatial planning is one of the most important tasks of the public administration, including local government administration. Both the government and local government administrations are obliged to shape the spatial policy. Here, it is the municipalities that occupy a special place, as they are the only bodies that may draw up and adopt fundamental acts implementing the spatial policy, i.e. local zoning plans. Implementing the spatial policy is a basic task of the public administration, aimed at satisfying the needs of the citizens. In this context, cooperation between public administration bodies of various levels, as well as between public administration bodies and residents, becomes crucial. Spatial planning is a multifaceted area, which overlaps with the tasks of the aforementioned government and local government administrations, not only at the local level, which in fact involves the need to establish common positions in order to optimize the directions of spatial development. In this context, cooperation seems to be the most optimal and necessary form due to the essence and nature of planning issues. The purpose of this article is to analyse the instruments of cooperation between public administration bodies, with particular emphasis on the relationship between the government and local government administrations, as well as between the bodies of this administration and citizens in the planning and spatial development. The article will also examine the instruments not regulated by law. The conclusion will present the directions of changes in the above-mentioned instruments of cooperation.

Published: March 2022

The current challenges facing the public sector, both at the national and EU level, include several aspects. In a long-term perspective, these challenges mainly concern issues related to the so-called technological and ecological transformation. Of particular importance for the development of the public sector in the European Union is the so-called digital transformation. The concept of “digitization” should be understood comprehensively. It becomes a starting point for the creation of a specific ecosystem of digital solutions connected with a wide use of modern technology such as the 4th Industrial Revolution, the Internet of Things, the Internet of Things: 4th Industrial Revolution, Internet of Things, 5th generation mobile network (5G), Blockchain and binding all the above phenomena into one whole – the concept of Smart City. A special role in the implementation of the new objectives of the European Union, including the technological transformation falls to the public-private partnership. PPP has significant potential to support technological transformation. However, there are important questions such as what are the main reasons for the low use of PPP in Poland and what steps should be taken to make PPP become an instrument of support for technological development? The purpose of this paper is to first identify the main directions of technological transformation of the public sector. Then, an attempt will be made to identify the basic problems associated with the use of PPP in Poland. Finally, it will propose the basic directions of changes in the way of using PPP, so that this instrument contributes to the technological development of the national public sector.
Learning statistics and probability through peer tutoring: A middle school experience
Authors: Alegre Francisco , Moliner Lidon , Lorenzo-Valentin Gil , Maroto Ana
Published: March 2022

The academic effects of learning statistics and probability through peer tutoring were analysed in the research reported on here. Two hundred and eight students enrolled in Grades 7, 8 and 9 participated. Fixed- and same-age peer tutoring was implemented 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Each tutoring session lasted approximately 25 minutes. The main aims of this research were to quantify the effect of peer tutoring and to determine any differences among grades. A pre-test-post-test design was employed. Students were assigned to control or experimental conditions. Effect sizes were calculated and non-parametric statistical tests were performed. No statistically significant differences were reported in the pre-test analysis. Statistically significant improvements were reported with the implementation of the programme for all grade courses, both individually and globally (Mann-Whitney U test = 5436.79, p < .01). The reported global effect size may be considered as medium to large (Hedges’ g = 0.72). The comparison among courses did not report any significant differences. It can be concluded that using peer tutoring for learning statistics and probability could be academically beneficial for middle school students.
Vilkår for læring og bruk av andrespråk i akademia
Authors: Gujord Ann-Kristin Helland , Molde Else Berit , Olsen Anna-Marie Kjøde , Wunderlich Ilka
Published: March 2022

Denne artikkelen presenterer ein studie som utforskar kva for plass og vilkår det norske språket har blant internasjonalt tilsette i norsk akademia. Studien inn­går i forskingsprosjektet NINjA – Norsk i akademia og byggjer på resultata av ei spørjeundersøking blant internasjonalt tilsette på 12 norske universitet og høg­skular og intervju med 55 av deltakarane i undersøkinga. Eit viktig utgangs­punkt for analysen er den gjeldande nasjonale språkpolitikken som blir ført over­for universitets- og høgskulesektoren. Det blir funne at internasjonali­seringa som har prega utviklinga i sektoren dei siste tiåra, er i konkurranse med mål­setjingane for språkpolitikken om norsk som samfunnsberande språk på alle domene. Midt mellom desse to agendaene står dei internasjonalt tilsette. Vil­kåra deira for å læra norsk er ikkje gode nok til å sikra at denne tilsettgruppa opp­når det ferdigheitsnivået i norsk som arbeidsoppgåvene krev. Artikkelen kon­kluderer med at denne situasjonen vil kunna ha negative følgjer for inter­nasjonalt tilsette, men truleg også for det norske språket, dersom dei akade­miske institusjonane og dei som utformar språkpolitikken i sektoren, ikkje i større grad legg forholda til rette for at internasjonalt tilsette får utvikla det norske andrespråket sitt.
Ungdommelig tekstpraksis rundt 1900
Authors: Nesse Agnete
Published: March 2022

Artikkelen tar for seg fire minnebøker ført mellom 1899 og 1916. Utgangs­punktet er en helhetlig tilnærming til teksttypen, der både tema for minne­versene, struktur og illustrasjoner er analysert i tillegg til det språklige. I to av bøkene brukes landsmål i noen grad, og dette blir også trukket inn i analysen sam­men med enkelte sider ved rettskrivningen. Siden dette er en teksttype som er både datert og signert med navn, blir for- og etternavnene til de fleste skri­verne også analysert. Samtlige analyser viser forskjeller mellom de to bøkene som hørte til i byen, og de to som hørte til i bygde- og industristedsmiljø. Dette disku­teres i lys av norsk kulturhistorie og internasjonal forskning på minne­bøker.
Optimised screw pile design for offshore jacket foundations in medium–dense sand
Authors: Cerfontaine B. , Brown M. J. , Davidson C. , Sharif Y. U. , Huisman M. , Ottolini M.
Published: March 2022

Screw piles are well-suited foundations for offshore jacket structures, as they can be installed without significant underwater noise and have a large axial capacity. However, installation requirements for such large piles must be reduced to enable their installation in the field. This study combines geometry and installation optimisation to lower force and torque installation requirements. An original pile geometry, composed of a large diameter upper section connected to a smaller diameter lower section by a transition piece, was tested in a geotechnical beam centrifuge. The advancement ratio (AR), describing the relative vertical movement per pile rotation, was varied below the threshold usually recommended. The results show that a low AR reduces the pile penetration resistance and even generates some pull-in, while the torque remains almost unaffected. The torque is mainly associated with the upper section of the pile, which has a greater diameter to resist lateral loading in service. The pile capacity in tension generally increases as AR is reduced and reaches a maximum for AR = 0·5, while the compressive capacity reduces. It was shown that a simplified method can be used to estimate pile capacity, providing that some AR-dependent reduction factors can be calculated or assumed.

Threats and risks of the pandemic, to change the borders of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal districts, the law of the Russian Federation for relief for populations living in protected areas, suggestions officials about translation of lake Baikal in the Federal territory and other metamorphoses pushed the corresponding changes in the relations of the Baikal residents to their health, environment and Patriotic position. Citing the results of specific socio-psychological studies on these issues, the authors suggest the urgent need to merge the positions of a patriot of a small homeland with the psychology of a new cosmopolitan — a person who has realized that the interests of Terra Patrie begin with himself and his needs. If the «old» cosmopolitan has the motto of life: «Where it is good, there is the homeland», then the new cosmopolitan has a different motto: «Where the homeland is, everything should be good».

Published: March 2022

This article examines the process of creation and development of mass media in the Evenkia and Taimyr national districts in the first half of the XX century. In the 1930s the foundations of radio broadcasting and periodicals are being laid. This process was complicated by a shortage of equipment and a shortage of employees, but despite this, by the end of the decade, many wall newspapers were published in the districts, numbers of district and regional publications were printed, and the radio network was expanding. Already at this time, a number of newspapers began to publish material in the national languages of the indigenous peoples. During the war years, there was no particular development of the media, however, in the post-war period, due to the improvement in the supply of districts, the development of radio broadcasting took place.

«Your Sorrowful Work Will Not Be Lost …»: About the Fate of the Historical and Cultural Heritage in a Changing World (to the 35th Anniversary of the Museum of Decembrists in Chita)
Authors:   Chita Institute of Baikal State University, Mezentseva Irina
Published: March 2022

Zabaikalye is one of the few places in Russia where the memory of Decembrists is given special importance. An example of fondness for a good name of «the first Russian revolutionaries» is the museum located in Mikhailo-Arkhangelsk church in the old part of Chita. The history simply combined a wooden church built at the end of the 18th century and a socio-political event of the early 19th century. The church became the center of the Decembrist stay in Chita, and therefore, it was not by chance the decision to locate the museum there. Today, the legacy of the Decembrists on the Trans-Baikal land is going through difficult times. The article is devoted to the history of this issue.

Published: March 2022

This paper aims to evaluate the nature of post-occupancy modifications of selected income housing estates in Nigeria. The research adopts both the quantitative and qualitative approaches and is essentially survey-based. Therefore, the research population is all housing units of low-income public housing estates in Owerri Metropolis. A simple random technique was further adopted to select five low-income housing estates within the low-income group for this study. Participants of this study were further sampled and selected based on the following requirements and eligibility criteria - they must be residents in the residential estates under study; they must be household heads (or their representatives) of the buildings in the selected housing estates and the building must have been in existence for over ten years (which is enough time for modification to have taken place). The data were collected through the use of a structured questionnaire and field observations, and analysis of this data relied on the computer-based statistical software called STATA 13.0. Results were presented and discussed, pinpointing the nature of post-occupancy modifications in the five selected low-income housing estates. The results further show various kinds of modifications (addition of rooms, alteration of site arrangement, alteration of fence design, alteration of roofing pattern, addition of shop spaces, change of use, and outright total modification) have taken place across the five housing estates studied.

Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava. Clinical observation
Authors: Davydov M. M. , Glukhov E. V. , Filatov A. A. , Shogenov M. S.
Published: March 2022

Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare malignant tumor observed in 2 % of all leiomyosarcomas. Less than 400 cases are described in the literature, in Russian publications not more than 30. Computed tomography is the most accurate diagnostic method for determination of tumor location, presence or absence of thrombosis and its severity, evaluation of resectability. We present a case of a patient with leiomyosarcoma of the IVC with preoperative diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma of the right adrenal gland with tumor thrombosis of the IVC and tumor advancement into the right kidney. During intraoperative revision the tumor was evaluated as primary leiomyosarcoma of the IVC with thrombosis of the iliac veins up to the retrohepatic segment of the IVC and advancement into the right adrenal gland and vascular structures of the right kidney and its pole which was confirmed by histological examination. Surgery is the main method of treatment of leiomyosarcoma of the IVC. Long-term results depend on the volume and radicality of operation. Reconstruction of the IVC is not always necessary. Despite high recurrence rate, there is no consensus on adjuvant treatment. The best results are achieved through interdisciplinary approach involving an oncological surgeon, chemotherapist, vascular surgeon, anesthesiologist. Perioperative planning, coordination, and adherence to oncological methods are crucial for recovery.
Clinical Experience of Use of Sacubitril/Valsartan in a Patient with Dilated Cardiomyopathy, Chronic Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction and Ventricular Arrhythmias

Chronic heart failure is the final stage of the cardiovascular continuum, which is an important cause of disability and reduced life expectancy in developed countries. Optimal medical therapy recommended for patients with symptomatic HF and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction includes angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (or angiotensin II receptor antagonists), beta-blockers and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. However, the use of optimal medical therapy does not always lead to the elimination of symptoms, improvement of the quality of life and functional capabilities of patients.
Sakubitril/valsartan is a novel combination drug that includes the angiotensin II receptor blocker valsartan and the neprilisin inhibitor sacubitril. In a large PARADIGM-HF clinical trial it demonstrated a 20% reduction in cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization due to decompensation of heart failure compared with standard therapy with enalapril. We report a case of successful use of sacubitril/valsartan in a 61-year-old patient with dilated cardiomyopathy, chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and ventricular arrhythmias.

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a steadily developing disease characterized by progressive chronic heart failure (CHF) resistant to drug therapy. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) significantly improves the prognosis in these patients if they have indications for implantation of resynchronization devices. The article presents a clinical case of successful implantation of a cardioversion-defibrillation cardiac resynchronization device in a patient suffering from DCM in combination with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF). The nuances of ventricular rate control and the role of the catheter procedure for modifying the atrioventricular junction are discussed.
Experimental Assessment of the Short- and Long-term One-Dimensional Compression Behavior and Hydraulic properties of Unbound Light Weight Coarse Aggregate
Authors:   , Swan Robert Hill , Martin Joseph Paul
Published: March 2022

This dissertation addresses the need for some additional insight on the constitutive behavior of unbound light weight coarse aggregate. It is the intent of the author to provide information concerning the compressive behavior of Lightweight-Foamed Glass Aggregates (LWA-FG) under varying compactive effort loading conditions as well as one-dimensional (1-D) short-term compressive loading. Additionally, 1-D long-term compressive loading was evaluated to estimate the creep and stress relaxation behavior of the LWA-FG. The impact on the hydraulic behavior of the LWA-FG was also evaluated to determine the flow capacity as a result of breakage and degeneration of the particles due to the various loading conditions. The goal of this dissertation is to provide useful performance-based test evaluations and data to allow a more informed design solution using LWA-FG. Additionally, this dissertation puts forth the use of the Fineness Modulus (FM) and the percent of loss (% Loss) in particle size related to coarse and fine grain aggregates to correlate to the amount of breakage and degeneration of the particles due to the various loading conditions evaluated with respect to compactive energy and 1-D compressive loading. The results indicate that LWA-FG aggregate can have significant particle breakage as a function of increase in compactive effort or applied confining pressure. The mechanical properties of the LWA-FG aggregate improve with the increase in compactive effort or applied confining pressure. However, the particle breakage of LWA-FG aggregate does not significantly impact the free draining permeability of the material. Additionally, the long-term 1-D creep behavior of the LWA-FG aggregate up to 3,000 psf (144 kPa) is very well behaved even when loaded to up to 12,000 psf (575 kPa) the material is stable but has excessive 1-D strain. The LWA-FG aggregate does demonstrate the ability of load shedding (stress relaxation) due to the high frictional behavior of the material.
Insights into Transgenic Vegetables: Progress and Prospects
Authors: Mohapatra, Upasana
Published: March 2022

Vegetables play a significant role in the daily diet of human being as they contain essential vitamins, minerals, dietary fibres, and key phytochemical compounds that help to enhance human health, good vision and a minimum risk of heart chronic diseases. Geographical region and local traditions differ widely with the intake of vegetable supplements to the diet. The production of vegetables suffers from abiotic and biotic stress responses. To enhance the host plant resistance or tolerance against these stresses and enrich the vegetables with prolonged shelf-life, high nutritional status, it is essential to produce genetically modified vegetables. In the 21st century, genetically modified transgenic vegetable crops have a major contribution to food and nutritional security. This study explores the potential prospects of the global vegetable scenario and the methods to develop genetically engineered vegetable crops by transgenic technologies. © 2022 Friends Science Publishers

Published: March 2022

2021 was a year of economic recovery for the Central American region and the Dominican Republic. Although the recovery process has been widespread, it has unfolded at different speeds among countries and sectors, a circumstance that has resulted in the recovery of employment being slower than that of economic activity. The region's inclusive and sustainable economic recovery path requires the generation of quality employment. In this sense, the IDB Group's work in 2021 focused first on continuing its support for the countries' response to the COVID-19 crisis, especially in matters of health, vaccination, and support for vulnerable populations, and second on promoting sustainable and inclusive recovery initiatives in the region, through approvals of almost US$3.4 billion for the countries of Central America and the Dominican Republic. This report highlights the main activities of the Group in Central America and the Dominican Republic during the year 2021, at a regional level and by country.

Published: March 2022

Each area has a variety and different types of weeds, the differences in each weed are caused by natural factors and human actions, including excessive pesticide spraying. This action can cause the chemical content, namely plant growth regulators and the nutrients in the weed plant to change and cause the quality of a soil to decrease. The research objective was to determine the level of diversity, species, and content of plant growth regulators and nutrient element measurements for local weeds. The research design was an exploration method in community agricultural land areas by recording the number of weeds found in agricultural land areas, trails, and irrigation edges in Tawaeli District, Palu City. Diversity analysis was using the exploration method, and the diversity index of medicinal plants was calculated using Shannon Wiener. The identification of weeds was carried out by UPT Herbarium (Tadulako University), plant growth regulators and nutrient content analysis were carried out using existing methods in the laboratory using local weed samples taken in the field. The results showed that there were 27 species of weeds grew on agricultural land in Tawaeli Sub-District, Palu City. These weed species belonging to 17 different plant families. Based on the category of diversity index, it was known that the biodiversity of weeds at the observation sites belongs to the low class (H' <1.00) and the medium class (H' >3.00). The conclusion was that in general, the high number of species and weed diversity were in the medium class H' category. Good nutrient content in weeds shows the potential of weeds as a source of important nutritional elements may benefit the growth and development of cultivated plants.

Petamburan is a sub-district of Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital city, and it has been a center of attention in Indonesia because of the growth and movement of the Islamic Front Defenders (Front Pembela Islam: FPI) within it. Before the FPI was officially banned by the Indonesian government on December 30, 2020, all of its activities and controversies performed in the name of Islam and its leader had become a main attraction for Indonesia’s mainstream media. This impacts Petamburan, which is described as a conflict-prone area in terms of social and religious factors. However, the image of Petamburan from the mass media does not describe the depth of its social reality. This research proposed a core hypothesis that the Petamburan people have deep riches of social harmony in terms of religion, race, and social factors. This study used a social interaction approach and analysis that focused on interactions in the actual public spheres in Petamburan. The final result was a picture of social and religious tolerance from the wide social diversity in the Petamburan community as a form of harmonious and inclusive social life in Indonesia.

Junior High School Novice Teachers' Self-Efficacy in Managing Students' Challenging Behaviour in Indonesia
Authors: Sahirah Zahr Farah
Published: March 2022

One of the issues commonly faced by teachers is managing students’ challenging behaviour. This behaviour might lead to teachers’ frustration and helplessness, especially in novice teachers. In addition, the issues that arise from this challenging behaviour, such as bullying towards peers and teachers, increase the necessity for teacher competence in managing these problems. However, previous studies have found that some Indonesian teachers claim to be unprepared when dealing with students’ challenging behaviour. Thus, this study analysed the self- efficacy of novice teachers from two Indonesian junior high schools in managing challenging behaviour and the influence of their professional training on their sense of self-efficacy. The study used a narrative inquiry methodology and the participants’ accounts of their experiences were collected through semi-structured interviews. Through the participants’ narratives, it was found that the teachers in this study were influenced differently by the sources of self-efficacy, and that their self-efficacy differed. These differences could have been affected by the varying levels of professional training that the teachers had received.
