Big Data y su aplicación en el área legal
Authors: Arroyo Zambrano Adrian Eduardo , Brito Funes Andrea 
Published: January 2024

En la actualidad, el termino Big Data se encuentra en las principales búsquedas, artículos y publicaciones, sin embargo, muy poca gente, incluyendo a los del ámbito empresarial comprenden a qué se refiere y en qué se diferencia de la data convencional. Este conglomerado, de gran volumen y estructuración, se encuentra almacenado y constituye la base de datos que representa a los activos de las compañías. Los datos convencionales se han estado procesando por décadas y hoy en día constituyen el mayor volumen de datos del mundo. Estos referentes se utilizan para realizar seguimiento o presentar estados dentro de una compañía, pero a pesar de esto, ofrecen una menor información que Big Data. Este trabajo busca demostrar lo fácil que sería el acceso a la información legal, si en lugar de llenar parámetros personalísimos como nombres, apellidos y números de cédula, RUC o pasaporte, se coloquen en su defecto parámetros de búsqueda que entreguen la información que partan de una búsqueda más generalizada hasta lo más personalizado posible, podríamos buscar por la materia (laboral, penal, civil, mercantil, familia, etc.), e ir delimitando la búsqueda mediante el uso de palabras claves, teniendo por ejemplo niveles de importancia. Como conclusión, la aplicación de esta herramienta tecnológica abriría una nueva forma de hacer Derecho en donde se aplican criterios de optimización de la información, permitiendo agilidad de procesos, beneficiando a las instituciones de justicia y afines y a los consumidores finales tales como los ciudadanos y sector empresarial o público.
”Hope Dies – Action Begins”
Authors: Dahlberg Leif 
Published: January 2024

The article explores the use of civil disobedience and non-violent direct action (NVDA) as a strategy and method in climate activism in Sweden, with a particular focus on the group Extinction Rebellion (XR). The article describes and analyzes a number of XR actions carried out in 2019-2022, with a focus on meaning-making practices. The uses of civil disobedience and NVDA are presented within a historical, cultural and social context; the question of the role and legitimacy of civil disobedience in democratic societies is discussed.
XR has civil disobedience and NVDA as central strategy and in this way the group has put these protest methods in focus, and after each major action there is a need to both explain and justify their use. This is more noticeable in a Swedish cultural context that is characterized by consensus and a stigmatization of disobedience. This relationship in turn affects the planning and execution of disobedient and disruptive protest actions in Sweden. The article explores how activists in XR Sweden relate to this specific cultural context and how they try to influence it; hence XR Sweden works not only to influence those in power and public opinion regarding the climate crisis, but also on the possibilities and forms of civil political protests.The article is based on participant observation. These began in the spring of 2019 and are still ongoing. The study has an anthropological perspective, with an emphasis on semiotics and hermeneutics.
Helbredelsen
Authors: Finsten Jensen Marie 
Published: January 2024

On November 29, 2020, 500 inhabitants gathered in a parade around the public housing neighborhood AKB Lundtoftegade in Copenhagen. Uniting spiritual, aesthetic, and political forms and under the name The Healing, the inhabitants fought against the Danish government’s so-called ”Ghetto Law” – a set of comprehensive laws and policies targeting low-income, largely minority public housing neighborhoods.
The present paper examines The Healing using Judith Butler’s elucidation of transient, public assembly and precarity – in this case, the ”Ghetto Law’s” destruction of the conditions of livability – in Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly (2015).
While The Healing as a public assembly exemplifies the critical potential of a transient, unexpected political and aesthetic assembly, the paper emphasizes how the aesthetic and spiritual elements help to ensure that The Healing can be repeated – that the fight against the ”Ghetto Law” can be recurring, caring, and healing.
The Healing, I argue, is thus both a transient prefiguration, and a proof of AKB Lundtoftegade’s historical democratic, vivid, and caring way of organizing that is made invisible by the current discourse surrounding the ”Ghetto Law” describing social housing as AKB Lundtoftegade as ”ghettoes”, ”holes in the map of Denmark”, and ”stone deserts”.
L’écriture collaborative dans des cours de français langue seconde : un résumé de trois études
Authors: Lindberg Rachael , Stotz Quinton , Ammar Ahlem , McDonough Kim 
Published: January 2024

Il est reconnu que le dialogue collaboratif contribue à la maîtrise d’une langue seconde et additionnelle (Ahmadian et Tajabadi, 2020; Mackey, 2012; Payant et Maatouk, 2022), particulièrement lors des tâches d’écriture interactives où les étudiants sont amenés à collaborer avant, pendant, ou après la rédaction d’un texte. Cet article résume les conclusions principales de trois études auprès de trois classes d’étudiants de français langue seconde à Montréal où chaque classe a travaillé avec un partenaire à différentes étapes du processus d’écriture : soit lors d’une planification interactive, d’une écriture collaborative ou d’une révision interactive. Nous visions à découvrir ce dont les étudiants parlent pendant les tâches d’écriture collaborative (et en quelle langue), afin de savoir si cela entraîne des effets sur leur écriture ultérieure, et aussi à comprendre comment les perceptions des étudiants affectent leur engagement dans ces discussions. L’ensemble des résultats démontre la contribution de la planification interactive au développement des compétences langagières et souligne le rôle de l’anglais en tant que ressource linguistique supplémentaire. De plus, nous constatons que les étudiants avec des attitudes plus positives envers les tâches interactives s’engagent plus profondément dans des discussions métalinguistiques. La synthèse de ces études offre des applications pratiques pour les enseignants de langue seconde.

Aims: To investigate the biology and morphometry of gram pod borer Helicoverpa armigera Hubner infesting gram Cicer arietinum L.
Place and Duration of Study: The investigation was conducted in the PG Research Laboratory, Department of Entomology, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India under laboratory conditions at 26.7±1.66°C temperature and 51.11±6.35 per cent relative humidity during 2021-22.
Methodology: The Helicoverpa armigera was reared from eggs to the adult stage under laboratory conditions. Twenty-five samples of eggs, larval instars, pre-pupa, pupa, and adults were used for morphometrics measurement and fifty samples of each stage were used for determining the biological parameters.
Results: The Helicoverpa armigera female laid eggs singly or in batches of 2 to 3 during nighttime. The incubation period was 2.84±0.58 days with 58.39±4.22 per cent hatching. The larvae passed through six different instars having durations, 2.54±0.50, 4.04±0.88, 4.04±0.88, 4.24±0.77, 4.50±0.51, and 4.92±0.80 days of first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth instars, respectively. The mean larval, pre-pupal, pupal, pre-oviposition, oviposition, and post-oviposition periods were 23.12±1.83, 1.64±0.69, 13.40±1.25, 2.60±0.49, 6.94±0.82, and 1.62±0.49 days, respectively. The lengths of egg, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth instar larvae, prepupa, pupa, and male and female adults, were 0.49±0.05, 1.56±0.12, 4.27±0.38, 8.47±0.70, 13.50±0.95, 21.84±0.97, 32.58±0.99, 25.03±0.97, 19.95±0.96, 17.25±0.56, and 20.32±0.95mm, respectively. Whereas, the breadths were 0.50±0.04, 0.46±0.03, 0.72±0.04, 2.45±0.03, 2.72±0.07, 3.22±0.11, 4.12±0.16, 3.88±0.39, 5.26±0.31, 34.44±1.09, and 39.86±1.03mm, respectively. The lengths of head capsules of first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth instar larvae were 0.23±0.01, 0.45±0.01, 0.63±0.02, 1.12±0.01, 2.19±0.02, and 2.61±0.04, respectively which was not studied before. Whereas, the breadths were 0.26±0.01, 0.50±0.01, 0.73±0.01, 1.28±0.01, 2.22±0.01, and 2.70±0.05, respectively. The sex ratio of male to female was 1:0.76±0.05. The fecundity of gravid females was 544.85±63.89 eggs/female. The adult longevity was 9.04±0.78 and 10.54±0.99 days in males and females, respectively. The total life span was recorded as 47.20±2.57 and 48.70±2.79 days in males and females, respectively
Conclusion: The Helicoverpa armigera adults completed their life cycle in 43 to 56 days. The adult longevity was higher in females than males. The males were smaller than the females. The sex ratio was male-biased. The various biological parameters would be useful in the planning of integrated management strategy under field conditions.
Simple Tests for n-th Roots of Natural Numbers being Natural Numbers and Elementary Methods to Determine Their Values
Authors: Wolfinger Bernd E. 
Published: January 2024

In this paper we tackle the challenging problem to determine, in a simple but reliable way, whether – for a given, arbitrary number x, x \(\geq\) 2 – the n-th root of x produces a rational or an irrational result, i.e. we determine whether \(\sqrt[n]{x}\) \(\epsilon\) Q or \(\sqrt[n]{x}\) \(\notin\) Q. To solve this problem in a straightforward manner we make use of the prime factorization of x. As a main contribution we present a generally applicable algorithm to decide whether \(\sqrt[n]{x}\) \(\epsilon\) Q (for n,x\(\epsilon\)N\{1} ) and if so, to determine the resulting value. Moreover, we design several tests which can be applied to determine, for which values of n, \(\sqrt[n]{x}\) \(\epsilon\) Q if the natural number x satisfies a given set of properties. Quite often the tests proposed will allow us to answer the question “ \(\sqrt[n]{x}\) \(\epsilon\) Q ?” in a matter of seconds. Finally, we demonstrate that, for a very high percentage of all natural numbers x, x \(\geq\) 2, it is impossible to find even a single n \(\epsilon\) N, n \(\geq\) 2 such that \(\sqrt[n]{x}\) \(\epsilon\) Q.

Brand awareness merupakan kemampuan mengukur sejauh mana pengetahuan tentang keberadaan suatu brand atau dapat dikatakan bahwa brand awareness sebagai kesanggupan seorang pembeli untuk mengenali atau mengingat kembali bahwa suatu brand sebagai bagian dari kategori produk tertentu dimana konsumen akan lebih cenderung memilih brand yang sudah dikenal dan mudah di dapat karena konsumen merasa sudah memahami, nyaman dan aman dengan brand tersebut. Pelaku usaha dapat menggunakan dan mempertahankan brand awareness sebagai sarana untuk memberikan informasi yang lebih detail dan mudah tersampaikan kepada para konsumen, disisi lain dengan adanya brand awareness dapat menjadi tolok ukur besar kecilnya suatu pangsa pasar usaha, salah satu bagian dari brand awareness yaitu packaging yang memiliki peran yang penting untuk kesuksesan suatu produk, packaging sebagai titik awal para konsumen ketika melihat suatu produk dan sebelum para konsumen memutuskan untuk membeli. Packaging merupakan suatu proses untuk melindungi dan menginformasikan orang-orang seputar produk yang dihasilkan oleh suatu brand. Packaging juga menjadi cerminan identitas dari sebuah brand yang ditunjukkan melalui produknya. Di samping itu, packaging juga membuat sebuah produk lebih marketable, aman, dan tetap bersih hingga sampai di tangan konsumen.

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the change in osteoarthritic (OA) knee cartilage volume over a two‐year period with the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to correlate the MRI changes with radiologic changes.MethodsThirty‐two patients with symptomatic knee OA underwent MRI of the knee at baseline and at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Loss of cartilage volumes were computed and contrasted with changes in clinical variables for OA and with standardized semiflexed knee radiographs at baseline at 1 and 2 years.ResultsProgression of cartilage loss at all followup points was statistically significant (P < 0.0001), with a mean ± SD of 3.8 ± 5.1% for global cartilage loss and 4.3 ± 6.5% for medial compartment cartilage loss at 6 months, 3.6 ± 5.1% and 4.2 ± 7.5% at 12 months, and 6.1 ± 7.2% and 7.6 ± 8.6% at 24 months. Discriminant function analysis identified 2 groups of patients, those who progressed slowly (<2% of global cartilage loss; n = 21) and those who progressed rapidly (>15% of global cartilage loss; n = 11) over the 2 years of study. At baseline, there was a greater proportion of women (P = 0.001), a lower range of motion (P = 0.01), a greater circumference and higher level of pain (P = 0.05) and stiffness in the study knee, and a higher body mass index in the fast progressor group compared with the slow progressor group. No statistical correlation between loss of cartilage volume and radiographic changes was seen.ConclusionQuantitative MRI can measure the progression of knee OA precisely and can help to identify patients with rapidly progressing disease. These findings indicate that MRI could be helpful in assessing the effects of treatment with structure‐modifying agents in OA.

AbstractObjectiveInterleukin‐17 (IL‐17) is a proinflammatory cytokine that is expressed in the synovium of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. This T cell cytokine is implicated in the initiation phase of arthritis. However, the role of IL‐17 during the effector phase of arthritis has still not been identified; this was the objective of the present study.MethodsMice with collagen‐induced arthritis (CIA) were treated with polyclonal rabbit anti‐murine IL‐17 (anti–IL‐17) antibody–positive serum or normal rabbit serum after the first signs of arthritis. In addition, during a later stage of CIA mice were selected and treated with anti–IL‐17 antibody or control serum. Arthritis was monitored visually, and joint pathology was examined radiologically and histologically. Systemic IL‐6 levels were measured by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, and local synovial IL‐1 and receptor activator of NF‐κB ligand (RANKL) expression was analyzed using specific immunohistochemistry.ResultsTreatment with a neutralizing anti–IL‐17 antibody after the onset of CIA significantly reduced the severity of CIA. Radiographic analysis revealed marked suppression of joint damage in the knee and ankle joints. Histologic analysis confirmed the suppression of joint inflammation and showed prevention of cartilage and bone destruction after anti–IL‐17 antibody therapy. Systemic IL‐6 levels were significantly reduced after anti–IL‐17 antibody treatment. Moreover, fewer IL‐1β–positive and RANKL‐positive cells were detected in the synovium after treatment with neutralizing IL‐17. Interestingly, initiation of anti–IL‐17 antibody therapy during a later stage of CIA, using mice with higher clinical arthritis scores, still significantly slowed the progression of the disease.ConclusionIL‐17 plays a role in early stages of arthritis, but also later during disease progression. Systemic IL‐6 was reduced and fewer synovial IL‐1–positive and RANKL‐positive cells were detected after neutralizing endogenous IL‐17 treatment, suggesting both IL‐1–dependent and IL‐1–independent mechanisms of action. Our data strongly indicate that IL‐17 neutralization could provide an additional therapeutic strategy for RA, particularly in situations in which elevated IL‐17 may attenuate the response to anti–tumor necrosis factor/anti–IL‐1 therapy.
WISP3‐dependent regulation of type II collagen and aggrecan production in chondrocytes

Published: February 2004

AbstractObjectiveWISP3 (Wnt‐1–inducible secreted protein 3) is a member of the CCN (connective tissue growth factor, cysteine‐rich 61, nephroblastoma overexpressed) family of connective tissue growth factors. WISP3 mutations have been linked to progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPRD). The present study was conducted to investigate whether WISP3 is responsible for the expression of cartilage‐specific molecules.MethodsWISP3 expression in human cartilage was assessed by immunostaining with anti‐WISP3 antibody. The effect of WISP3 on chondrocyte‐specific gene regulation was determined by transfecting human chondrocyte lines C‐28/I2 and T/C‐28a2 with a WISP3 expression vector. Alterations in WISP3‐mediated messenger RNA and protein expression of cartilage‐specific molecules were assessed by reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting.ResultsImmunohistochemistry experiments demonstrated that WISP3 protein is expressed in the midzone chondrocytes of normal adult articular cartilage, in chondrocyte clusters of osteoarthritic cartilage, and in the zone of proliferating chondrocytes of fetal growth cartilage. Human chondrocyte lines C‐28/I2 and T/C‐28a2 transfected with a WISP3 expression vector produced increased amounts of the cartilage‐specific matrix molecules type II collagen and aggrecan, in part via activation of the sex‐determining region Y–type high mobility group box (SOX) family of transcription factors. In contrast, a mutant WISP3, previously found to be associated with PPRD, had impaired effects on cartilage‐specific gene expression.ConclusionOur experimental results suggest that WISP3 supports cartilage integrity by regulating the expression of type II collagen and aggrecan, and mutations linked with PPRD can compromise this function and produce cartilage loss.
