La recepción de la Teoría de los Sistemas de Luhmann en la jurisprudencia constitucional colombiana
Authors: Ruiz Manotas Paola Margarita , Fernando Bermeo Luis 
Published: March 2024

<p>Este texto presenta algunas consideraciones sobre la influencia que ha tenido la Teoría de los Sistemas, de Luhmann, en las decisiones de la Corte Constitucional Colombiana desde sus inicios. Para ello, encontraremos una mención general sobre los conceptos básicos de la teoría luhmanniana, sobre la interrelación de los sistemas sociales derecho, política y moral, y sobre algunas críticas que podrían plantearse desde Luhmann hacia el positivismo jurídico propiamente dicho. Es así como, partiendo de las tres sentencias en las que esta corporación cita la teoría de Luhmann, se observa la manera en que el Derecho corre el riesgo de permearse de los diferentes sistemas que lo rodean, así como la necesidad que tiene de autoproducirse y diferenciarse de otros sistemas o discursos sociales, como la moral y la política, con el fin de mantener su núcleo central, que es la validez.</p>

Published: March 2024

Flood control buildings or commonly known as drainage channels are a global element of the legacy of infrastructure to help facilitate community activities and are a major component of road support construction. The Jalan Cimahpar area which is the main road that connects to Jalan Pandu Raya, an area where the majority of the people sell and pass through the road is still facing various problems. Problems that are quite disturbing to the community are when there is high rainfall, there is a puddle of water on the shoulders and road bodies as a result of overflowing drainage channels that are not functioning properly, as a result, the busyness of the community and road users falters. The slope of the road and the accumulated sediment is also one of the factors that causes the drainage water to not function properly. Thus, it is necessary to expand the drainage channel that is able to accommodate puddles of water during high rainfall.

Published: March 2024

<p>Investigation on the mental health of HIV-positive immigrants is severely limited. We examine the independent and combined effects of HIV symptom and coping resources on depressive symptoms among HIV-positive immigrants (<em>n</em> = 259). Ordinary Least Squares regression models were estimated with data from a survey of clinical and social-psychological outcomes in people receiving treatment for HIV infection. We tested for the impact of two HIV-related stressors, one life events stressor and three buffering resources on depressive symptoms, controlling for thirteen demographic, clinical and acculturative factors. HIV-related stressors were found to be positively related to depressive symptom severity. Coping resources, namely self-mastery, mediate the relationships between HIV-related stressors and depressive symptoms. Results from this study provide the first empirical assessment of stress processes for immigrants living with HIV. Although more research is needed to understand mental health among HIV-positive immigrants, the study results suggest that health care providers focus on self-mastery enhancement among HIV-positive immigrants.</p>

Preferences regarding emerging HIV prevention technologies among Toronto men who have sex with men: a discrete choice experiment
Authors: Hart Trevor , Tan Darrell H. S. , Rana Jayoti , Tengra Zavare , Wilton James , M. Bayoumi Ahmed 
Published: March 2024

<p>New forms of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) include long-acting injectables and topical microbicides, each with unique attributes that may appeal to distinct users. We used a discrete choice experiment to characterize preferences for new PrEP formulations among Toronto men who have sex with men. MSM undergoing anonymous HIV testing completed a discrete choice experiment with 12 choice sets by selecting their preferred option within each set. Each set included “usual methods to prevent HIV” (excluding PrEP) as one alternative and two hypothetical PrEP alternatives, which differed according formulation/dosing, side effects (none/mild), risk of drug resistance (none/low/moderate), and HIV prevention efficacy (50%, 65%, 80% or 99% risk reduction). We used mixed logistic regression to infer preferences for PrEP attributes and calculate the marginal rate of substitution between efficacy and other PrEP attributes. 306 men with median (interquartile range) age = 29 (25, 36) years participated, and reported 6 (3, 10) partners and 0 (0, 2) condomless receptive anal sex acts in the preceding six months. An on-demand pill was the most preferred formulation, followed by a monthly injection, daily pill, and on-demand rectal gel. Drug resistance was an important determinant of preferences if the risk was moderate, but not if it was low. The minimum efficacy required for an on-demand pill to be preferred over no PrEP was 32.6% (95%CI = 21.2–43.9%); for a daily pill, injections, and rectal gel, minimum efficacy was 57.9% (95%CI = 44.1–71.7%), 40.1% (27.0–53.2%), and 71.3% (60.5–82.1%), respectively. Attitudes towards PrEP formulations vary among men who have sex with men, with on-demand pills and monthly injections having the highest average preference scores. Understanding these preferences may help to predict uptake.</p>

Book Review: Theorizing Native Studies
Authors: Juutilainen Sandra 
Published: March 2024

<p>Theorizing Native Studies is a mind expanding volume that serves to build a conceptual bridge between Indigenous Theory and Western Theory. The editors seek to demonstrate the variety of ways that scholars within Native studies operationalize multiple forms of theory to get analysis done (p19). Within this is the thread of relationality that the scholarly works encapsulate that positions their intellectual endeavours not only for representation within the academy, but also to their political commitment to Native communities outside of the academy. The works included by the ten Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholarly essays, provide an assemblage of insights on the ‘how’ to turn towards theory and its value in Native studies and its importance to multiple other fields within academia. This critical volume appearing at a time, as stated by the editors, that there has been a turn against theory within the field of Native studies. </p>
Structural Racism and Indigenous Health: W hat Indigenous Perspectives of Residential School and Boarding School Tell Us? A Case Study of Canada and Finland
Authors: Juutilainen Sandra , Miller Ruby , Heikkilä Lydia , Rautio Arja 
Published: March 2024

<p>The objective of this study was to explore, as an example of structural racism, the effects of residential school and boarding school on the self-perceived health of Indigenous peoples’ in Canada and Finland. Structured interviews were conducted at Six Nations of the Grand River and Inari municipality. The individual and intergenerational negative effects included themes of vulnerability (language and cultural loss, fractured identity, and negative self-worth), and resilience (Indigenous identity, language and cultural renewal). Indigenous identity, culture, and language are intertwined and key determinants of health. Further studies about structural racism and a strong Indigenous identity as a protective factor may provide valuable insight into health disparities.</p>

Parenting for the promotion of adolescent mental health: a scoping review of programmes targeting ethnoculturally diverse families
Authors: Ruiz-Casares Monica , Drummond Jennifer D. , Beeman Irene , Lach Lucyna M. 
Published: March 2024

<p>A scoping review of the literature on parenting programmes that target the promotion of adolescent mental health was conducted to examine the quality of the studies and unique content of programmes for parents from ethnoculturally diverse communities. <em>PsycINFO</em> and <em>Web of Science</em> were searched in April, 2011 (for all publications prior to that date) and again in August, 2015 (for publications from April, 2011 to August, 2015) using specific keywords and inclusion criteria. A hand search was also conducted. Overall, 107 studies met inclusion criteria for final data extraction and included evaluations of interventions targeted at substance use, early/risky sexual activity and behavioural problems. Eighteen of the 107 studies described programmes targeting parents of adolescents from diverse ethnocultural communities; the quality of these 18 studies was assessed using a marginally modified version of the Downs and Black Checklist (Downs & Black 1998). Their average quality assessment score was 16 out of 28. In addition, two key themes reflected in successful interventions emerged: strengthening parent–adolescent relationship through communication, and importance of community engagement in designing and implementing the intervention. Findings indicate gaps in service delivery to parents of adolescents from ethnoculturally diverse communities; there are a limited number of studies on programmes targeting ethnoculturally diverse parents of adolescents, and the quality of studies that do exist is overall low. Given increasing diversity, more emphasis should be placed on developing and modifying programmes to meet the needs of ethnoculturally diverse communities. More rigorous, standardised efforts should be made to evaluate programmes that do exist.</p>

Authors: Ruiz-Casares Monica , D. Thombs Brett , Mayo Nancy E. , Andrina Michelle , Scott Susan C. , Platt Robert William 
Published: March 2024

<p>The <em>Families First</em> parenting program is a 10-week paraprofessional-administered adaptation of the Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting program for West Java, Indonesia. It has not been tested in a randomized controlled trial. The objective was to evaluate the effects of <em>Families First</em> on physical and emotional punishment. We conducted a cluster randomized controlled trial and randomly assigned 20 rural and urban villages in West Java, Indonesia, to intervention or waitlist. Caregivers of children aged 0–7 years in intervention villages received <em>Families First</em>. Between 2017 and 2018, measurements were taken before randomization, immediately post-intervention, and 6 months post-intervention. Primary outcome was presence versus absence of <em>caregiver-reported physical or emotional punishment</em> immediately post-intervention<em>.</em> Intention-to-treat regression models accounted for clustering within villages and were run to compare between groups. Participants and study personnel could not be blinded. There were 374 caregivers in the 10 intervention villages and 362 in the 10 waitlist villages included in the trial and in outcome analyses. The intervention did not result in a lower proportion of intervention families using punishment immediately post-intervention (odds ratio [OR] for physical or emotional punishment immediately post intervention = 1.20 (95% CI 0.79–1.82). There were no significant differences for <em>positive and involved parenting, setting limits, and opinion on discipline</em>, but caregivers in the intervention group had significantly lower odds of using <em>positive discipline</em> (OR = 0.65 (95% CI 0.53–0.80). <em>Families First</em> did not prevent punishment in a setting with low levels of reported punishment but should be tested in a setting with higher levels or among people selected for risk or presence.</p>

Ethics and Racial Equity in Social Welfare Policy: Social Work's Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Wilson Dana Burdnell , Solomon Terry A. , McLane-Davison Denise 
Published: March 2024

<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has been particularly overwhelming for communities of color in the United States. In addition to the higher levels of underlying health conditions, circumstances related to a history of oppression and unequal access to opportunities and services are apparent. Social service programs will need to be re-developed to accommodate a new reality, both in terms of how people connect with services and how social work professionals provide them. Professional social work organizations’ codes of ethics are analyzed, along with the theoretical framework of structural competency. It is an ethical imperative that social welfare policy and practice advance as culturally competent, racial equity, and empowerment-based programs. Child welfare is portrayed as an example where the pandemic could provide an opportunity to learn from the past to construct a more compassionate, competent, and ethical future.</p>

Assessing Job Accessibility and Sustainable Mobility among Low-income Groups in Penang, Malaysia
Authors: Rosli Hafizah , Samat Narimah , Abu Bakar Mohd. Azmeer 
Published: March 2024

Sustainable mobility emerges as a more viable approach for addressing urban mobility challenges and enhancing overall quality of life. The primary cause of urban mobility issues may be attributed to the urban built environment, wherein various physical features such as buildings, public infrastructure, and transit systems have significantly contributed to the reliance on private vehicles. Hence, this study examines job accessibility and the background of mobility among the low-income groups who are the urban workers in Penang Island, Malaysia to determine the factor of this target group's dominant transport mode choice. Using the quantitative method, this study was conducted using a questionnaire with 306 respondents selected by stratified random sampling based upon a ratio to represent the low-income households in the northeast and southwest districts of Penang. The study revealed that individuals from low-income backgrounds exhibit a significant reliance on privately owned vehicles. Furthermore, individuals in question exhibit a preference for owning and utilising economically viable, temporally expedient modes of transportation that optimise spatial efficiency, such as motorbikes, for their daily commute to their place of employment. Policymakers may take into account the factors of affordability and punctuality when formulating a transport system that is characterised by both cost-effectiveness and efficiency, thereby addressing the mobility requirements of low-income groups.
