    Introducción: Understanding risk perception that hinges on health-protective behaviors is central to strategies for prevention. Aim: To classify the pattern of potential risk of worker exposure to SARS-CoV-2, and to assess association with risk perception among non-healthcare workers Methods: In a multi-site, qualitative study, we conducted individual in-depth interviews and mini focus group discussions with employees, managerial staff and self-employees from Hong Kong (n=87), Nanjing (n=60), and Wuhan (n=60) between June 2020 and March 2021. Audios were transcribed and categorized by themes following Grounded Theory approach. Results: We identified seven major types of potential risk exposure pattern by category of parameters. The risk perceptions decreased among Type A workers, working at fixed location in office, and no/little contacts with clients/customers, and increased among workers having the concern of asymptomatic characteristics of SAR-CoV-2, daily contact with large size of the unfamiliar crowds, unhygienic behaviors of clients/customers, and use of public transportation to commute to work. The notion that the sense of safety deriving from the implementation and adherence with safety measures despite stringency, and trust with the government was most frequently reported in Nanjing and Wuhan. Conclusion: Study examines COVID-19 risks and risk perceptions among non-healthcare workers in three cities. Variations in risk perceptions were found, influenced by factors such as work patterns and safety measures. Trust in government and concerns about international contacts were common themes. The findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions, mental health support, and inclusive policies to address occupational health disparities and promote workplace safety.Introducción: Comprender la percepción del riesgo que condiciona conductas de protección de la salud es fundamental para la prevención. Objetivo: Clasificar el patrón del riesgo de exposición de los trabajadores al SRAS-CoV-2 y su asociación con la percepción del riesgo entre los trabajadores no sanitarios. Métodos: Estudio cualitativo multisitio. Realizamos entrevistas en profundidad y minigrupos de discusión con empleados, personal directivo y autoempleados de Hong Kong (n=87), Nanjing (n=60) y Wuhan (n=60) -junio 2020-marzo 2021-. Los audios se transcribieron y clasificaron por temas con enfoque de la teoría fundamentada. Resultados: Se identificaron siete tipos de patrón de exposición (Tipo A-G) al riesgo potencial. Las percepciones de riesgo disminuyeron entre trabajadores de tipo A que trabajaban en oficina y sin contacto con clientes y aumentaron entre trabajadores preocupados por características asintomáticas del SAR-CoV-2, contacto diario con multitudes, comportamientos antihigiénicos de clientes y uso de transporte público para ir al trabajo. La sensación de seguridad por aplicación y cumplimiento de medidas de seguridad y la confianza en el gobierno fue más frecuente en Nanjing y Wuhan. Conclusiones: Se hallaron variaciones en las percepciones del riesgo, influidas por factores como pautas de trabajo y medidas de seguridad. Fueron comunes la confianza en el gobierno y la preocupación por los contactos internacionales. Se requieren intervenciones específicas, apoyo a la salud mental y políticas integradoras para abordar las disparidades en salud laboral y promover la seguridad en el lugar de trabajo

    To what extentd do judges make law in the Australian Common Law system?: Basis from the common law judicial law creation for continental law system

    In the Common Law system judges have the power to create subsidiary laws: they make rules in strict sense. This Kind of power responds to a special way in which the Common Law develops and adapts itself to achieve the best rules for a given society. Understanding how the Australian law system works, as an example of a common law structure, and how judges interact with the parliament in the creation of the best rules of law -which makes the process coherent- is paramount for other legal systems that have a mixture of legal institutions from both civil and common law systems, as Colombia. Colombia has an unclear mixture of law systems, which generates an uncertainty of the application of the law producing both by judges and parliament, and serious structural law problems; so, understanding the basis of the common law system it is important to clarify the limits in the competence of each authority and the interaction between the law made by the Parliament and the one that the judges produce.In the Common Law system judges have the power to create subsidiary laws: they make rules in strict sense.

    Supercritical transesterification has emerged as a readily available alternative for biodiesel production since no catalyst is required, thereby generating fewer waste products. In this research, the supercritical transesterification of refined vegetable oil and aqueous ethanol was carried out at temperatures 400 to 480 °C and a 12:1 ethanol to oil molar ratio, to assess the effect of temperature and residence time in the formation of a homogeneous phase, effluent appearance and increased water content derived from glycerol etherification. The results showed that water was produced at temperatures higher than 400 °C, as expected from the occurrence of glycerol etherification, and that prolonged times resulted in gas and soot formation, indicating esters decomposition. Through water mass balances, it was possible to identify the set of operation conditions in which the water formed from glycerol etherification matched with the maximum expected according to the proposed reaction scheme.La transesterificación supercrítica se ha propuesto como una alternativa para la producción de biodiesel ya que no requiere catalizador, de esta manera se generan menos residuos. En esta investigación, la transesterificación supercrítica de aceite vegetal refinado y etanol acuoso se llevó a cabo a temperaturas en el rango 400 a 480 °C y relación molar etanol a aceite de 12:1, para evaluar el efecto de la temperatura y el tiempo de residencia en la formación de una fase homogénea, apariencia del efluente e incremento del contenido de agua resultado de las reacciones de eterificación del glicerol. Los resultados mostraron que se produjo agua a temperaturas mayores a 400°C, atribuida a la eterificación del glicerol, y que tiempos de residencia prolongados resultaron en formación de gas y hollín, indicativo de reacciones de descomposición de esteres. A través de balances de masa, fue posible identificar el conjunto de condiciones de operación a las cuales el agua formada por la eterificación del glicerol coincide con el valor máximo esperado de acuerdo con el esquema de reacción propuesto.A transesterificação supercrítica foi proposta como uma alternativa para a produção de biodiesel porque não requer catalisador e, dessa forma, gera menos resíduos.

    In this manuscript, the effect of various mixture proportions of a lignocellulosic material (palm shell) and waste tyres (a material not easily degraded in natural environmental conditions) subjected to a thermochemical process known as pyrolysis, on the distribution of the different fractions of the reaction products, was analyzed. The mixtures consisted of 20%-80%, 50%-50% and 80%-20% of palm shell and used tyre respectively, which were subjected to a co-pyrolysis, a simultaneous thermochemical decomposition of two biomass sources, and the resulting liquid and solid fractions were characterized. The experiments were carried out using a 0.5 mm-particle size under 500 °C for each pyrolysis run. The raw materials are characterized by proximate and elemental analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) in addition to Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). Solid and liquid products were also characterized by FTIR, and their calorific value was also determined. The distribution of fractions was made by weight difference between the fractions and the mass fed. The pyrolysis run that obtained the best properties was the mixture of 80% waste tyres and 20% palm shells with a calorific value of 21,117 kJ/kg, obtaining three types of products with the following mass proportions: solid 23.5%, liquid 18.6% and gas 57.9%. It can be concluded that the solid product obtained has a great energy potential, superior than that of dry wood, which is 19,000 kJ/kg

    The context of the Gig Economy involves a break in the standard employment relationship between employees and employers and a questioning of the role of Human Resources Management (HR) in charge of managing this link. This article aims to analyze the role and configuration of HR management in the context of the Gig Economy. From the contingent configurational approach, how HR practices are combined and configured to contribute to performance and manage the relationship with the individuals who participate in this economy is argued. It is found that the labor relationship between companies and gig workers is characterized by being transactional and symbiotic based on the utilitarian premise of mutual benefit. For this reason, in this context, an HR configuration oriented toward the market or maximizing productivity and the fulfillment of agreements would predominate.El contexto de la Gig Economy supone una ruptura de la relación laboral estándar entre empleados y empleador, y un cuestionamiento sobre la función de la gestión de Recursos Humano (RR.HH.) encargada de gestionar dicho vínculo. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la función y configuración de la gestión de RR.HH. en el contexto de la Gig Economy. Desde el enfoque configuracional contingente se argumenta el modo en el que las prácticas de RR.HH. se combinan y configuran para aportar al desempeño y gestionar el relacionamiento con los individuos que participan de esta economía. Se encuentra que la relación laboral entre las empresas y los trabajadores gig se caracteriza por ser transaccional y simbiótica basada en la premisa utilitaria del beneficio mutuo. Por ello, para este contexto predominaría una configuración de RR.HH. orientada hacia el mercado o en maximizar la productividad, y al cumplimiento de acuerdos.O contexto da Gig Economy envolve uma ruptura na relação empregatícia padrão entre empregados e empregadores e um questionamento do papel da Gestão de Recursos Humanos (RH) responsável pelo gerenciamento desse vínculo. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o papel e a configuração da gestão de RH no contexto da Gig Economy. A partir da abordagem configuracional contingente, argumenta-se como as práticas de RH são combinadas e configuradas para contribuir com o desempenho e gerenciar o relacionamento com os indivíduos que participam dessa economia. Constata-se que a relação de trabalho entre as empresas e os gig workers é caracterizada por ser transacional e simbiótica, baseada na premissa utilitarista do benefício mútuo. Por essa razão, nesse contexto, predominaria uma configuração de RH orientada para o mercado ou para a maximização da produtividade e o cumprimento de acordos

    One of the expectations generated by the Peace Agreement signed in November 2016 between the Colombian Government and the FARC-EP guerrillas was to create the conditions of democratic openness that would allow the conditions for political participation of the opposition. As a working hypothesis it is considered that the Colombian political regime has not provided enough guarantees for the participation and exercise of democracy and that the current government has allowed the conditions of political, social, and armed conflict to be sharpened. The method of analysis adopted is interpretative and inductive, with a focus on the political participation of the opposition in the broad sense. The information obtained was critically analyzed considering the guarantees for the exercise of the opposition, freedom of expression and association and social movements. It was found that social organizations and movements have not achieved significant participation as an opposition and that there is a greater commitment of the now FARC political party to what was agreed in 2016. It is concluded that the Peace Agreement failed to provide enough guarantees for the political participation of the opposition and the exercise of democracy.Una de las expectativas que generó el Acuerdo de Paz firmado en noviembre de 2016 entre el Gobierno colombiano y la guerrilla de las FARC-EP fue crear las condiciones de apertura democrática que permitan las condiciones para la participación política de la oposición. Como hipótesis de trabajo se considera que el régimen político colombiano no ha brindado suficientes garantías para la participación y el ejercicio de la democracia y que el gobierno actual ha permitido que se agudicen las condiciones del conflicto político, social y armado. El método de análisis adoptado es interpretativo e inductivo, con foco en la participación política de la oposición en sentido amplio. Se analizó críticamente la información obtenida teniendo en cuenta las garantías para el ejercicio de la oposición, libertad de expresión y asociación y movimientos sociales. Se encontró que las organizaciones y los movimientos sociales no han logrado una participación significativa como oposición y que existe un mayor compromiso del ahora partido político FARC con lo acordado en 2016. Se concluye que el Acuerdo de Paz no logró que el régimen político colombiano ofrezca suficientes garantías para la participación política de la oposición y el ejercicio de la democracia. Uma das expectativas geradas pelo Acordo de Paz assinado em novembro de 2016 entre o governo colombiano e a guerrilha das FARC-EP era criar condições para a abertura democrática que permitissem as condições para a participação política da oposição. Como hipótese de trabalho, considera-se que o regime político colombiano não forneceu garantias suficientes para a participação e o exercício da democracia e que o atual governo permitiu que as condições do conflito político, social e armado aumentassem. O método de análise adotado é interpretativo e indutivo, com foco na participação política da oposição em sentido amplo. As informações obtidas foram analisadas criticamente, levando em consideração as garantias para o exercício da oposição, liberdade de expressão e associação e movimentos sociais. Constatou-se que organizações e movimentos sociais não alcançaram participação significativa como oposição e que há um maior compromisso do partido político das FARC com o que foi acordado em 2016. Conclui-se que o Acordo de Paz não alcançou que o regime político colombiano ofereça o suficiente garantias para a participação política da oposição e o exercício da democracia

    The Efforts to minimize legal risk over brand certificate guarantees in banking practices by conducting a professional analysis of brands. The main thing that is done by the bank is to identify whether the rights to the mark meet the legal and economic requirements as a guarantee and the important is imposition of perfect pawn collateral institutions or fiduciaries then it cause the property rights is born and bank domiciled as a preferred creditor. The analysis on guarantee is the bank effort to ward off legal risk such as weakness of the alliance until not fulfilled the contractual terms or not perfect of collateral binding even the cancellation of the brand certificate. If this is not mitigated, it will be detrimental to the position of the bank as a creditor because the bank is only located as a concurrent creditor.Esfuerzos para minimizar el riesgo legal sobre las garantías de marcas registradas en la práctica bancaria mediante el análisis profesional de la marca Lo principal que hace el banco es determinar si los derechos de la marca cumplen con los requisitos legales y económicos como garantía, y es importante imponer garantías o fideicomisarios perfectos, esto lleva al hecho de que los derechos de propiedad nacen y el banco reside como el mejor acreedor. El análisis de garantía es el esfuerzo del banco para evitar un riesgo legal como la debilidad de la alianza hasta que se cumplan los términos contractuales o las obligaciones de garantía perfecta, incluso la revocación del certificado de marca registrada. Si esto no se mitiga, dañará la posición del banco como prestamista, ya que el banco está ubicado solo como co-prestamista
