The world needs to decide whether we want to prefer increased productivity (speed, quantity, quality and cost) or we want to prefer justice, morals, welfare and equity? Do we want ever increasing amount of economic surplus or do we want the amount which fulfills global population needs, biological and social, with statistical and mathematical balance in a given period of time? Do we want global human welfare or just the wellbeing of the top-tier corporations and the politicians in bed with them? Do we want an exploitative unstable corporate capitalist slaved based system or a welfare system that Islam proposes through its various and wide-ranging trade, business, finance, taxation and criminal laws?

Digital Identity Scale: A Validity and Reliability Study2024 •
The purpose of this study is to develop a reliable and valid scale for measuring digital identity definitions, digital personalities, self-presentation strategies, communication styles in digital contexts, and digital identity perceptions of digital environment users over the age of 18. This study is significant since it is the first scale study on the subject of digital identity in Turkish literature, filling a gap in the field and creating a unique, reliable and valid scale. The process of developing this scale consists of many phases. First, in-depth interviews were conducted with 18 people and an item pool was created by reviewing literature and data obtained. Item numbers were reduced according to the view of experts. Expert opinions were obtained using the Lawshe method. Afterwards, the pilot study was applied to 278 participants for construct validity. Following this, the main study was conducted with 511 participants. After the data was collected, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out. The scale's validity and reliability was tested and approved. The result of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was a scale with 28 items and 3 factors. These findings are deemed important so that this scale can be considered a reliable and valid measurement tool.

Is there an association between prenatal testosterone and autistic traits in adolescents?2021 •
Las aulas escolares son espacios privilegiados para construir nuestras interpretaciones acerca de la realidad, para abrir nuestro imaginario y para vislumbrar otras posibilidades. Este “sentido común” socio-históricamente construido convierte en evidente lo que se puede y podría hacer, así como lo que se debería hacer; y, de modo simultáneo, transforma en ilógicas, irracionales o imposibles a otras alternativas certeramente posibles y reales. En esta obra se visibilizan las funciones que en cada momento histórico desempeña el sistema educativo y se analizan los cometidos que se les asignan a las políticas educativas que se legislan y a las reformas que los gobiernos llevan a cabo para ir reconfigurando un específico tipo de ciudadanía, un tipo de personalidades coherente con el ideal de sociedad que las élites dominantes avalan. Entender el momento presente exige explicitar las ideologías políticas que legitiman las características de las políticas económicas, financieras y laborale...

El artículo analiza la participación de la Universidad de Charcas en los asuntos públicos de Chuquisaca (actualmente Sucre) durante el período colonial tardío. Muestra que, tras la expulsión de los jesuitas en 1767, el claustro se tornó el centro de la vida académica. El cuerpo realizaba elecciones anuales de rector y asignaba cátedras en concursos públicos mediante el voto universal y secreto de sus miembros. Los doctores defendieron con vigor su autonomía de las máximas autoridades regias y eclesiásticas tanto en términos de sus mecanismos electorales como en el de su derecho de elaborar nuevos estatutos universitarios con prescindencia de las tradiciones institucionales y la supervisión real. Estas prácticas representativas fueron cruciales para consolidar una cultura de disenso que desestabilizó el principio de unanimidad inherente al imaginario monárquico borbónico, según el cual las opiniones contestatarias eran una patología social incompatible con la voluntad del Soberano y el bien común. El desarrollo de esta política contenciosa contribuyó a crear las condiciones del levantamiento general de Chuquisaca luego de la invasión francesa a España en 1808.

Optimizing profit maximization through effective inventory control practice of manufacturing firms in NigeriaThe study looked at the optimization of profit through inventory control practices of firms in our ever-competitive environment. Four inventory control practices formed the objectives with two hypotheses raised to guide the study. The study was empirically analysed. The findings revealed a positive significant relationship between the objectives, Just–In–Time, Material Requirement Planning (MRP), Economic Order Quantity and safety stock on profit maximization. The study recommended that an Effective (well-functioning) inventory control system ensures there is a balance between having just enough materials or products in the stores/warehouse and keeping the stock cost under control so that the firm can maximize its profits at all times.
