Guest opinion that analyses the China-USA relationship in the context of COVID-19

The increase in economic, political and cultural interaction between China and Peru has been documented in numerous papers. However, an issue that has been poorly addressed is international cooperation between the two countries. Therefore, this research aims to analyze international cooperation between Peru and China through a descriptive, analytical and inductive methodology, and the use of primary and secondary sources. The main result of this document is that China is using its international cooperation as a foreign policy instrument that helps it to achieve its economic objective in Peru: greater use of its mineral resources. Finally, the report of the present investigation is to provide more specific information on a topic that has been poorly studied in International Relations and to be a starting point for later academic documents.

This study aimed to assess anthropometric, physiological, and fitness variables related to health in 158 participants of a swimming program (89 men and 69 women), distributed in three age groups (18-29 years, 30-39 years, 40-48 years). The following protocols were used: 1) bioimpedance analysis to determine the body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), and body fat percentage (BFP); 2) a measuring tape to measure waist circumference (WC); 3) an automatic sphygmomanometer to obtain systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure; 4) a Sit and Reach test was used to evaluate flexibility and the push-up test to evaluate muscular endurance. The results showed that BFP and (BMI) were the variables in which the highest number of people presented unhealthy values, according to international parameters. Significant differences (p<0.05) were found in SBP, DBP, WC, BFP, BMI, and muscle endurance according to sex and age. Significant correlations were found between physiological responses, physical fitness, and body composition. In conclusion, age and sex influence the results of the variables. Results were found that represent metabolic and cardiorespiratory risk factors.

In this academic work we will analyze the procedural legal figure of preventive confinement, in order to determine if said measure is being applied within the framework and limits of the procedural guarantees established by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Constitution and laws of the specialty. We will reflect on the procedural guarantees that the Judiciary must take into account when deciding on a request for preventive admission. Similarly, we will examine the rights of adolescents deprived of their liberty and which must be guaranteed by the state while they are in their preventive custody, such as the right to health and physical and psychological integrity. Maxima if we are in a situation of health emergency and global pandemic.

This article gives a criminological perspective in relation to modern criminal law and the figure of the devaluation of the action and the result in special crimes such as corruption in situations of national emergency, understanding the figure of devaluation as part of the unlawful element of the crime. On the other hand, it addresses the issue of public opinion as an important factor in the positive or negative assessment of an allegedly criminal act and its participation as a pressure and / or interest group before the State authorities against a fact of social relevance.

The pandemic situation that the planet is going through has overwhelmed all the health facilities and programs. The penitentiary detention centers have not been oblivious to this reality. To the known problems of an infrastructure overwhelmed by the inmate population and to the scarce medical attention that a high percentage of infectious-contagious diseases brings, this new virus is added, the full effects of which are unknown. It is also worrying that a high number of the prison population is still facing sentencing processes: due to excessive abuse of the preventive detention mechanism and the almost null application by the judicial operators of the principles of proportionality and reasonableness. Jail is the exception. The judges have made it the rule.

The coronavirus pandemic that is currently scourging humanity has managed to take our capacity for surprise to unsuspected limits: on the one hand, we observe through the mass media high- ranking officers of the Peruvian National Police buying products at exorbitant prices that they do not meet quality standards (masks, gloves, etc.) to hand over to their colleagues who valiantly risk their life to take care for ours; to provincial and district mayors making their own stock of basic necessities, and also magistrates who in virtual hearings continue to know processes derived from acts of corruption committed by magistrates who, disregarding Elementary concepts of ethics, took advantage of their position to make a clean sweep of the law and justice. It is worth nothing that the responsibility of these bad servers is aggravated in a superlative way by the disease that has plagued us.

The appearance and installation in our country of the pandemic caused by the so-called covid-19, has led to the issuance of various supreme decrees, which in the name of protecting the health, the environment of the family and the community, have cut in a way Intensive certain fundamental rights of the first degree, such as freedom of transit and freedom of work. The normative argument used by the Executive Power is weak, since the preeminence of certain fundamental rights of the second degree over the other so-called fundamental rights of the first degree supposes a hypothetical scenario of imminent constitutional controversy in which the so-called weighting of fundamental rights, in which the principles of suitability, necessity and weighting or proportionalityitself will be debated, whose scenarios become very interesting and above all promising for the clarification of the conflict of rights.
