Los estereotipos conferidos a la mujer desde el cuerpo en Interiores de Esther Castañeda
Authors: Yocet Yojan Rosales Depaz 
Published: September 2023

Se estudia los estereotipos sociales, políticos, económicos y culturales conferidas a la mujer desde la poesía de Esther Castañeda, específicamente, el poemario Interiores. Es decir, en el análisis y descripción de los poemas la voz poética es cuestionadora y rebelde, dado que, usa la sensualidad del cuerpo como un arma para poder deshilvanar los misterios, arrinconamientos, diferencias, distanciamientos, calificativos que produce el poder patriarcal. Por otra parte, la construcción cultural de los estereotipos tiene cuestiones discutibles desde la ginocrítica, puesto que, con ella se define la escritura del cuerpo femenino como una separación del dominio creativo, la crítica y el canon masculino desde el plano literario.
De igual manera, se describen con aproximaciones interpretativas las significaciones más importantes que logra el lenguaje en los versos de Interiores. Los detalles analíticos y descriptivos no tienen nada que ver con los resultados eróticos, sexuados o sexuales. Sino definir desde los planteamientos nuevas propuestas encontradas desde la estética que se desarrollan con rigor. Siendo una de ellas explorar los estereotipos que se confieren o se autogeneran para su reconocimiento diferencial. El sujeto hablante tiene sus propios principios del cual se vale para hacer una defensa moral y social. Por lo que se viene perdiendo un entendimiento con la igualdad, la justicia y la solidaridad de la humanidad en su totalidad.
Activities of the National economic councils (1957–1964): organizational impasse or the possibility of a breakthrough
Authors: Gapsalamov A. R. 
Published: September 2023

The presented research touches upon the issues of the emergence, functioning and liquidation of economic councils. The article shows the main reasons that signaled the beginning of the structural decentralization of the management system, as well as the factors that caused the reverse process.The methodological basis of the presented research is an approach based on the use of the historicism principle. It allows us to analyze historical stages in accordance with the specific historical situation in their dialectical interconnection and conditionality. The application of the historicism principle requires the study of any component of the historical process in its development. Guided by this principle, the author sought to show the transformation of the industrial management system of the USSR in 1957–1964. The principle under consideration was used in conjunction with the methods of scientific knowledge. In his research, the author used such general scientific research methods as analysis, synthesis, deduction and abstraction.The relative effectiveness of the obtained reforms has been shown. At the same time, structural changes in the management system could not give an explosive character to the growth of the industrial sector. The reasons for the curtailment of economic councils lay not only in voluntarism or organizational problems, but in the absence of a single system of decentralized management. Under the slogans of territorial administration, in real practice, sectoral centralized administration was preserved. In addition, the system itself, being inert throughout the reforms, followed the path of strengthening departmental-sectoral management.

Tindak pidana pencucian uang sebagai suatu kejahatan mempunyai ciri khas yaitu bahwa kejahatan ini bukan merupakan kejahatan tunggal tetapi kejahatan ganda. Tindak pidana pencucian uang tidak berdiri sendiri karena harta kekayaan yang ditempatkan, ditransfer, atau dialihkan dengan cara integrasi itu diperoleh dari tindak pidana, berarti sudah ada tindak pidana lain yang mendahuluinya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengaturan delik tindak pidana pencucian uang dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 2010 Tentang Penegahan dan Pemberantasan tindak pidana pencucian uang dalam putusan Mahkamah Agung RI Nomor 250 K/Pid.Sus/2018 diatur dalam Pasal 3 Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 2010 tentang Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang. Hambatan penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku tindak pidana pencucian uang dari hasil tindak pidana narkotika dalam Putusan Mahkamah Agung RI Nomor 250 K/Pid.Sus/2018 adalah kendala yuridis dan kendala teknis.

Penegakan hukum terhadap tindak pidana narkotika telah banyak dilakukan oleh penegak hukum, juga terhadap pelaku telah banyak pula yang dijatuhi putusan pengadilan dan menjalani hukuman di lembaga pemasyarakatan termasuk penyalahgunaan narkotika oleh oknum anggota TNI. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengaturan hukum pidana terhadap tindak pidana penyalahgunaan narkotika diatur dalam Undang-Undang RI No. 35 Tahun 2009 tentang Narkotika. Pertanggungjawaban pidana terhadap anggota TNI yang melakukan tindak pidana penyalahgunaan narkotika dalam putusan Pengadilan Militer I-02 Medan Nomor 109-K/PM.I-02/AL/XI/2022 pada dasarnya merupakan suatu tindakan penjeraan sebagai upaya memberikan pembelajaran bagi anggota TNI untuk taat dan patuh terhadap aturan dan menghindar dari segala perbuatan yang dilarang karena pertanggungjawaban tersebut akan selalu melekat pada diri anggota TNI. Anggota oknum TNI yang melakukan tindak pidana penyalahgunaan narkotika dengan pidana pokok berupa penjara selama selama 6 (enam) tahun dan pidana denda sebesar Rp 800.000.000,00(delapan ratus juta rupiah) serta pidana tambahan dipecat dari dinas Militer Cq.TNI AL. Pertimbangan hukum hakim dalam putusan Pengadilan Militer I-02 Medan Nomor 109-K/PM.I-02/AL/XI/2022 dalam tindak pidana penyalahgunaan narkotika yang dilakukan oleh oknum anggota TNI adalah perbuatan terdakwa mencerminkan sifat terdakwa yang tidak baik dan tidak patuh lagi terhadap aturan hukum yang berlaku, dengan tidak lagi meperdulikan kepentingan dan nama baik kesatuannya.

INTELIGÊNCIA POLÍTICA COMO ESTRATÉGIA NA SEGURANÇA PÚBLICA PARANAENSE
Authors: Ferreira Clarindo Maximillian 
Published: September 2023

Este trabalho tem por objetivo discutir a inteligência política como estratégia Institucional de segurança pública capaz de suplantar programas/projetos dissonantes da realidade paranaense. Para tanto, adota-se como estudo de caso as tentativas de implementação da polícia comunitária no Estado do Paraná nas duas décadas finais do século XX. A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e de exploração bibliográfica aponta alguns possíveis equívocos cometidos por diferentes governos na aplicação destas políticas, sobretudo pela perpetuação do pensamento colonial no imaginário social que contamina as forças políticas do estado quando estas importam projetos de outras realidades sociais/culturais para o cotidiano da segurança pública paranaense. Outrossim, percebe-se que tais programas de polícia comunitária são vis porque são concebidos como programas de governo e não de estado, alternando-se na mesma medida em que ocorre a alternância de mandatários. Com caráter propositivo, estima-se que o investimento institucional em inteligência política pode constituir-se em uma estratégia interessante para o assessoramento das forças de segurança pública na medida em que estas podem se antecipar às eventuais ingerências.

Published: September 2023

The experiment was conducted to study the effect of chemically treated litter on the welfare parameters of commercial broiler chicken. A total of 144 straight-run day-old commercial broiler chicks were distributed randomly into six treatment groups, each group consisted of four replications, each of 6 chicks. The experiment was conducted in two different seasons, winter and monsoon, each of 6 weeks duration. The treatments included: T1 (control, rice husk as litter material); T2 (rice husk litter treated with alum @ 90 g/sq.ft.), T3 (litter treated with boric acid, H3BO3, @ 24 g/sq.ft.; T4 (litter altered with sodium bisulphate (NaHSO4) @ 25 g/sq.ft.); T5 (litter treated with commercially available probiotic product @ 1 g/ sq.ft); and T6 (litter treated with commercially available Yucca schidigera liquid solution @ 1.0 mL/ sq.ft). The chemical alteration of litter (T2 to T6) was done on the 1st, 15th and 29th days of the experiment period. The footpad percentage was found higher in T2 followed by T6, T3, T4, T5, and T1 in both the seasons. You are advised to check again carefully this statement is not correct , you should be sincere , if you are unable to do yourself , take help from some one it is very tedious for us to cross check every time ) The hock burn percentage was found higher in T2 in both seasons followed by T3, T6, T4, T5, and T1 in winter and by T3, T4, T6, T5, and T1 in monsoon. A higher 0 score percentage indicated improved welfare parameters. In both seasons, there were no blister sores on the breast. Based on the overall result of the present experiment, it can be concluded that the broiler birds reared on rice husk litter material treated or amended with alum @ 90 g/sq.ft had decreased the footpad and hock burn lesions than the control and other treatment groups.

Published: September 2023

The study was conducted on a total of 48 female Wistar rats divided into four groups, each containing 12 rats. Group 1 was control, group 2 was imidacloprid control, group 3 was Withania somnifera control and group 4 was administered with both imidacloprid and Withania somnifera. The rats of group 3 and 4 were subjected to oral treatment of Withania somnifera (1 gm/kg feed) for a period of 30 days to measure the protective effect against thyroid toxicity induced by imidacloprid (30 mg/kg body weight/day for 30 days). Hormonal assays showed a significant (p<0.05) rise in thyroid stimulating hormone and fall in triidothyronine and thyroxine in imidacloprid administered rats when compared to control. No gross lesions were noticed in thyroid gland. Group 2 thyroid gland sections revealed congestion, degenerated thyroid follicles with loss of colloid substance, increase in inter-follicular space, atropic follicles, fibrosis, pyknotic nuclei, detachment of follicular epithelial cells, increase in number of micro-follicles and proliferation of follicular epithelium towards lumen. Electron microscopy of thyroid gland from group 2 rats revealed significant pathological changes. The degree of lesions was minimal in group 4 rats when compared to group 2 rats. These results indicate that Withania somnifera is beneficial in ameliorating the imidacloprid induced thyroid toxicity in rats.

The present study was undertaken to characterize virulence factors associated with fecal Escherichia coli (E.coli) isolates (n=22) from wild animals. Isolates were phenotypically characterized for haemolytic, haemagglutination and gelatinase activity whereas presence of adhesion genes viz. fimH and papG1 was detected genotypically by PCR. Further, whole blood survival assay of E. coli isolates (n=6) was performed using human and goat blood. Isolates exhibited heamolytic (45.45%) as well as gelatinase activity (27.27%) and led mannose sensitive agglutination of human (45.45%), dog (40.90%) and chicken (27.27%) RBC. fimH gene was detected in 27.27% of the isolates whereas none of the isolates was found positive for PapG1 gene. Isolates survived, got adapted and then grew successfully in human as well as goat blood. It can be concluded from present study that wild animals are potent reservoir of virulent E. coli that could adversely affects in-contact human and livestock population.

Published: September 2023

This study is based on the assessment of Tax Aggressiveness, Share Price, Return on Assets as determinants of Earnings Management among quoted industrial and consumer goods sectors in Nigeria between the periods of 2012-2022. A sample of thirty-two (32) firms were drawn out of the listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. The study was quantitative in nature and made use of secondary data which was sourced from the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) factbook, National Bureau of Statistics, and annual reports of selected industrial and consumer goods firms. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis was used to determine the nature of the data as well as the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The pooled panel regression analysis, the Hausman test and the random effect model (REM) method of model estimation employed was used in the study. The findings revealed that share price and return on assets are the primary determinants that significantly affect the earnings management of publicly traded companies in the industrial and consumer goods sectors during the observed timeframe. Moreover, firm size is perceived as a significant control factor in determining earnings management. Tax aggressiveness on the other hand showed no significant impact on earnings management. Based on the findings the study recommended that Projects that enhance the firms' profitability should be at the center of the investment objective of managers overseeing industrial and consumer goods firms that are publicly traded. In addition, projects with favourable net present values should be embarked on by managers of industrial and consumer goods firms listed on the stock exchange. Furthermore, cutting edge earnings management strategies should be adopted by managers of industrial and consumer goods firms that are publicly traded. They can as well prioritize the utilization of tax aggressiveness.
Keywords: Earnings Management, Tax Aggressiveness, Share Price, Return on Assets, Hausman Test.

Authors: Oloo Abisaki Aono , Abenga Elizabeth , Wangila Eric 
Published: September 2023

This study examined the resources that promoted participation in Non-Formal Curricular Activities (NFCAs) in secondary schools in Kakamega County, Kenya. A descriptive survey design was used. The study utilized 2507 participants who included 1935 learners, 430 teachers, 43 Heads of Department of NFCAs, 43 Principals, 43 parents and 13 SQASOs. To generate quantitative data, questionnaires were used and for qualitative data, structured interviews, document analysis and observations were utilized. Quantitative data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and presented using frequencies, the mean, mode, percentages and standard deviations and qualitative data was presented in narrative form. The study found out that funding for NFCAs is inadequate at the school level and is delayed. Though resources for implementation of non-formal curriculum activities were available in most secondary schools, they were inadequate and could not match the large learner populations. The study recommended the government should also step-up provision of funds to enable acquisition of resources, infrastructure and supplies that will enhance learner participation in NFCAs.
