    Persona como sujeto de imputación y dignidad humana

    Get PDF
    La problemática del concepto de persona, como sujeto de imputación, constituye unelemento primordial a la hora de referirnos al derecho penal del enemigo. Y es que, para el autor, es posible vislumbrar dos conceptos diversos de persona, lo cual permite acercarnos a la figura de la despersonalización. Al entenderla como tal, entramos en el ámbito de discusión de la existencia de un concepto funcional de persona. Dicho concepto se define según el sistema de relación de una determinada teoría de la imputación. En ese sentido, si la realidad del derecho constituye una orientación válida en la actuación social, la renuncia a dicha realidad, provoca una aporía que se vuelve insalvable para el sistema de derecho penal del enemigo, propuesto por Jakobs

    Engaging Readers: A study of magazine advertising effectiveness in the Chilean media market

    Engagement is now a necessity for marketers in need to reach their customers. This paper studies how nine different experiences are related to the advertising effectiveness of magazines. The results of a regression model show that seven of them are statistically significant predictors of advertising effectiveness. On the one hand, when readers experience content that they can talk about and share, makes them part of a community, inspire their lives and gives them a timeout of daily routine, then the advertising those magazines is more effective. On the other hand, when readers experience unreliable ads and an overload of them, advertising effectiveness is negatively affected. The findings are relevant for further studies on media experiences and its effects on advertising and also for magazine publishers who need to strength selling arguments in times of high media competition and cornucopia of content. -------------------------------------------------------------------- El vínculo que se genera entre un medio de comunicación y sus lectores (audiencia) hoy en día es un requisito para poder marcar diferencia en un mercado altamente competitivo como lo es el sector de las revistas. Este trabajo estudia nueve experiencias que evoca en las personas la lectura de revistas y como éstas se relacionan con la efectividad publicitaria. Los resultados se generan gracias a un modelo de regresión en el que se muestra como siete de ellas son predictoras en la efectividad de sus anuncios. Los resultados son relevantes y son de ayuda para el desarrollo de nuevas investigaciones, pero sobre todo para los medios de comunicación que pueden medir el efecto sobre la publicidad y conseguir argumentos más sólidos para sumar y retener anunciantes cada vez más exigentes

    Evaluation of a home monitoring application for follow up after lung transplantation—a pilot study

    Home spirometry after lung transplantation is common practice, to monitor graft function. However, there is little experience with online home monitoring applications with direct data transfer to the hospital. We evaluated the feasibility and patient experiences with a new online home monitoring application, integrated with a Bluetooth-enabled spirometer and real-time data transfer. Consecutive lung transplant recipients were asked to evaluate this home monitoring application for three months in a pilot study. Home spirometry measurements were compared with in-hospital lung function tests (the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC)) at the end of the study. Ten patients participated. The home and hospital spirometry measurements showed a high correlation, for both the FEV1 (r = 0.99, p < 0.01) and FVC (r = 0.99, p < 0.01). The adherence and patient satisfaction were high, and the patients preferred the home monitoring application over the current home spirometer, with a difference of 1.4 ± 1.5 points on a scale from 0 to 10 (p = 0.02). Online home monitoring with direct data transfer is feasible and reliable after lung transplantation and results in high patient satisfaction. Whether the implementation of online home monitoring enables the earlier detection of lung function decline and improves patient and graft outcomes will be the subject of future research
