Tasa de descuento ambiental Gamma: una aplicación para Colombia
Authors: Correa Francisco 
Published: December 2022

Este artículo tiene como objetivo central describir y aplicar una metodología para estimar la tasa de descuento en proyectos de largo plazo para Colombia, como son los proyectos relacionados con la conservación ambiental y el cambio climático global. La metodología aplicada es conocida como el descuento gamma. Para la aplicación de este método se realizó una encuesta a 120 economistas de Colombia, de esta forma se obtuvo una tasa descuento mucho menor que la tasa social de descuento usualmente utilizada en la evaluación económica de proyectos de largo plazo en el país. Adicionalmente, las estimaciones realizadas permiten verificar la declinación en el tiempo de dicha tasa de descuento. Palabras clave: descuento, preferencias intertemporales, impactos ambientales, análisis costo-beneficio, incertidumbre. Clasificación JEL: B41, D91, Q51 Abstract: The main purpose of this article is to describe and apply a methodology to estimate the discount rate on long-term projects, such as those related to environmental conservation and global climate change, for Colombia. The applied methodology is known as gamma discount. For the application of this method, a survey of 120 Colombian economists was conducted. This yielded a much smaller discount rate than the social rate of discount typically used in the economic evaluation of domestic long-term projects. Additionally, the obtained estimations allow verifying the decline in time of such a discount rate. Keywords: discount rate, intertemporal preferences, environmental impacts, cost-benefit analysis, uncertainty.

Authors: Lotero Jorge , Posada Héctor Mauricio , Valderrama Daniel 
Published: December 2022

En este artículo se examina la competitividad regional desde una perspectiva geográfica, y se construye un ranking de competitividad para los departamentos colombianos, usando las técnicas de componentes principales y de clusters jerárquicos. El análisis nos muestra que la competitividad pierde sentido cuando la aplicamos al mercado de bienes, pero adquiere significado cuando se considera el mercado y la movilidad de factores de producción. También se muestra, a diferencia de la mayoría de enfoques y mediciones de la competitividad de los departamentos colombianos, que es posible obtener mediciones sencillas, que además de ser consistentes con el marco conceptual de la geografía económica, son el producto de la combinación de un número pequeño de variables. Palabras clave: competitividad regional, geografía económica, departamentos colombianos, ranking de competitividad. Clasificación JEL: R10, R12, R19 Abstract: This article examines regional competitiveness from a geographical perspective, and constructs a competitiveness ranking for Colombian departments using principal components and hierarchical cluster techniques. The analysis shows that competitiveness becomes meaningless when it is applied to the goods market, but is meaningful when one considers the market and the mobility of production factors. The analysis also shows, unlike most approaches and measures of competitiveness for Colombian departments, that it is possible to obtain simple measures, which in addition to being consistent with the conceptual framework of economic geography, is the product of the combination of a small number of variables. Keywords: Regional Competitiveness, Economic Geography, Colombian Departments, Competitiveness Ranking. JEL Classification: R10, R12, R19 Résumé: Dans cet article nous examinons la compétitivité régionale dans une perspective géographique. Nous proposons un ranking de compétitivité pour les départements colombiens, tout en utilisant les techniques de composants principaux et de clusters hiérarchiques. Cette analyse montre que la compétitivité perd du sens lorsqu'elle est appliquée au marché de biens, mais elle a du sens lorsqu'elle est appliquée au marché des facteurs de production et leur mobilité. Contrairement à la plus part d'analyses et de mesures de la compétitivité des départements colombiens, nous montrons qu'il est possible d'obtenir des mesures très simples qui résultent de la combinaison d'un petit nombre de variables, en plus d'être compatibles avec le cadre conceptuel de la géographie économique.

Authors: MENDOZA MEZA Dary Luz , SAAVEDRA A. Stephanie 
Published: December 2022

Background: In traditional medicine of Central and South America, the tenebrionid beetle Ulomoides dermestoides is used as an a phrodisiac, for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and cancer. Recently was reported cytotoxic and genotoxic properties of non-polar extract of U. dermestoides; also anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity of aqueous whole body extract of beetle was reported, it suggests the existence of components with potential pharmacology use. On the other hand, it is necessary to identify those polar and non-polar extracts of U. dermestoides with anti-irritant properties for the membranes and blood vessels, which will be used in subsequence biological test and clinical assays. Objectives: The purpose of this research was to identify the chemical composition of methanolic and hexanic extracts of U. dermestoides, and to assess their anti-irritant capacity. Methods: The extracts were obtained from adult beetles of U. dermestoides. The chemical composition of the extracts was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the anti-irritant effect of each extract was evaluated by means of a modified assay of irritation of the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of fertilized chicken eggs (HET-CAM); the
results were expressed as irritation index (IR). Results: Six common compounds were identified in both extracts: limonene, myristic, palmitic, estearic, oleic, and linoleic fatty acids. But in the alone methanolic extract were found: 1-pentadecanol, alpha-pinene, beta-phellandrene and alpha-terpinene, whereas in the
hexanic extract were found: 2-methyl-p-benzoquinone, 2,4-dihidroxy-1-ethylbenzene, 2,5-dimethylquinone, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons and alcohols. The methanolic extract of U. dermestoides showed potential anti-irritant effect in the HET-CAM test (IR = 3.09 ± 0.11), similar to that observed with Nimesulida (IR = 2.05 ± 0.14), a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used as positive control for irritation inhibition reaction. The hexanic extract did not show anti-irritant capacity. Conclusions: The results demonstrated the anti-irritant effect of the methanolic extracts of U. dermestoides that could be attributed to compounds with anti-inflammatory activity as oleic acid and limonene.

Published: December 2022

Since 2015, increased numbers of refugee families with pre-school-aged children have arrived in Greece. Inclusion preschool refugee children in quality early childhood education and care (ECEC) centers is about embracing diversity, including every child holistically and providing opportunities for all children to participate and benefit. The present study examined the general ECEC teachers’ attitudes towards the inclusion of refugee children into their classroom in public ECEC centers, their behavior and factors that might influence the attitudes towards inclusion based on Eagly Chaiken’s three-component model of attitude and Bronfenbrenner’s theory. The research sample consists of 114 ECEC teachers working at public municipal child care centers in the area of Thessaloniki in Northern Greece. The results showed that the ECEC teachers have positive attitude towards inclusion of refugee children, however seemed doubtful in the implementation of inclusion.
Academic Research Publications as a University Strategy from the Comparative Jurisprudence perspective: Édouard Lambert’s Viewpoint
Authors: Carlos M. H. 
Published: December 2022

Édouard Lambert entered the global jurisprudence history as one of the founders of the European comparative tradition. The Institute of Comparative Law founded by him in 1920 became the first academic center for the aforementioned branch in Europe. Lambert’s professional activity was, among other things, connected with the formation of the young Soviet state.This article deals with Lambert’s view point with respect to one of the key strategies of university development: the strategy of academic research publications. In this regard, Lambert acts not only as a publisher, but also as a mastermind, a pioneer of the publishing projects in question. In addition to the historical and legal aspects, this study also has methodological potential. A look at Lambert’s creative heritage allows observing the direct correspondence between the history of publishing and the history of legal thought.Nowadays, when the publications by researchers or academic professionals are often considered in the quantitative rather than qualitative light (for no good reason), it is important to look back at the origins of the comparative thought in order to enrich the newest tradition of law with all the very best that comparative jurisprudence, as a vector for legal science development, gave the legal world.

The study is devoted to the problems of poisoning by cardiotoxic diseases.
The relevance of the study was confirmed by the analysis of literature containing the following information: during recent decades poisoning with cardiotoxic substances while providing medical care to patients has become the main cause of premature death worldwide.
Currently, in a number of cases of poisoning several classes of compounds for medical and non-medical purposes with cardiotoxic effects can be found. The pattern of acute poisonings is highly dependent on different regions, especially in developed and developing countries, as well as in urban and coastal areas, and it also depends on socio-economic status, cultural practices, industrial and agricultural development in industry.
The results obtained during the study show that the toxic effects of various classes of cardiotoxicants include direct (effects on the heart, blood vessels or nervous system) and indirect effects of the poison associated with the presence of metabolic disorders (hypoxia, acidosis, electrolyte disorders), and the severity of the manifestation of the condition determination of urgent toxic arrhythmias, which worsen the course of the toxic process and most often lead to a sudden death, which is an actual study of mechanisms of toxic rhythm and conduction disorders.
The study shows changes in the electrocardiographic patterns and mechanisms of cardiotoxic action, which can be found in the structure of poisonings, their toxic doses (concentration).
The purpose of this study was to study the features of rhythm and conduction in case of cardiotropic poisoning.
In the course of the study the following scientific tasks were solved: changes in the electrocardiographic pattern and manifestations of cardiotoxic action, which were broadly found in the structure of poisoning, were established, and information about their toxic doses (concentrations) was summarized.
In our opinion, the knowledge of signs of poisoning, topical symptoms, mechanisms of formation of their effects is the key to the implementation of measures to provide medical care.
The results of the study include practical significance for the analysis and definition of various types of medical care in case of poisoning with cardiotoxic diseases of non-medical purposes.

Published: December 2022

The innovative and creative approach that is produced for architectural design problems involves quite complex stages. In architectural design, the designer's approach and numerical data make the design process a multi-layered structure. The integration of parametric modeling programs and generative algorithms makes it easy to carry out multi-layered design processes. Generative systems defined through generative algorithms enable conceptual approaches, various geometrical constructs, and different forms to be created in digital environments in solving design problems. The creation of the generative algorithm of the design eliminates the restrictive role of modeling software in the architectural design. The designer gets the opportunity to create every parameter and design criteria specific to his approach.
In this study, our aim is to develop a generative algorithm in a computer environment by using the principles of fractal geometry function. The generative system creates by overlaying the developed generative algorithm with the environmental factor parameters. In this system proposal, the goal is to produce various facade design proposals by coding the algorithm fractal functions and to make use of the visualization of various potentials of the generative algorithm in parametric facade proposals. Video projection mapping method is chosen to discuss the functionality of the parameters in the proposed generative system of the developed generative algorithm. Computation of the transformation relating consecutive image frames is an essential operation in video mapping. In this context, the design created with the generative system is reflected on a real scale medium , specifically a column in this study, and various image frames letting new design proposals produced by the algorithm were evaluated. In concluding rmarks, the advantages of architectural designs modeled by coding with the generative algorithm compared to the algorithms obtained directly with the software are discussed.
