This paper focuses on the importance of the guilt principle as a determining agent of subjective imputation due to fraud or imprudence. It also pays attention to the principle’s importance in its relationship with the principles of legality and human dignity, both institutes of wide spectrum and solid anchoring in the study and elaboration of the constitutional discipline nowadays. Finally, it highlights the circumstances of legal nature and the jurisprudential pronouncements that grant the guilt principle with constitutional relevance in Venezuela and Chile, even though these are not expressly enshrined in the constitutions of the aforementioned countries.

This comment presents a critical analysis about the relevance and scope of application of contractual interpretation rules in Chilean law. To do so, it reviews a Supreme Court’s decision, which not only expresses a jurisprudential line that overlaps —at least in some part— to the traditional approach sustained by Chilean doctrine, but also leads to question the elements that allow a correct interpretation of the willingness of the parties to celebrate a complex contract.

The purpose of this commentary is to establish, by analyzing the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court, the criteria by which the Administration must govern its acts. It particularly focuses on the occasion when a discretionary power is granted, taking greater relevance the motivation and the fundament of the acts, so that these are not subject to deviation of power.

Se ha escrito bastante sobre “el profesor Finnis”. Esta contribución, en cambio, se enfocará en “Finnis, el profesor”. Esta inversión de los factores alterará el producto. Pues saldrá a la luz, no directamente la obra del profesor Finnis, sino su persona, en dos dimensiones íntimamente relacionadas (y relacionadas con su ser profesor): la docencia y la investigación. Otros aspectos de su persona, incluida su personalidad —aspectos que bien podrían llamarse “biográficos”— no serán objeto de este estudio, aunque, inevitablemente la persona y la personalidad aflorarán a través de la docencia y la investigación del profesor. Una aclaración metodológica, que es simultáneamente un acto de defensa propia. Mucho de lo recogido en estas páginas se basa en la interacción de su autor con el profesor Finnis. Ergo, hay aquí un toque de autorreferencia inevitable. No pediré perdón por ella, pero sí aclararé que mi intención es ponerla al servicio del descubrimiento de la estatura monumental del homenajeado, para lo cual el objetivo que guiará estas autorreferencias siempre comandará la máxima fidelidad posible a la realidad de lo relatado. El homenajeado se parece a uno de esos felinos casi invisibles en la naturaleza. Sacarles una foto que merezca la pena puede justificar el uso de una cámara con un lente especial. Pero el objetivo siempre estará centrado en la fiera; la cámara es como el sobre de una carta, que se tira una vez leída.

Anxiety is a physiological response to the painful experience because both have a connection, the difficulty experienced and the anxiety to overcome it. The study aimed to analyze the characteristics of pre-competitive anxiety factors in the national team of Mozambique U16. The sample consisted of 12 athletes aged 14 - 16 years, of which 4 aged 16 and 8 aged 14 years. The instrument used was the “List of Stress and Pre-Competitive Symptoms (LSSPC) developed by Chagas (1995). The results showed moderate levels of pre-competitive anxiety in the six games played with an average sum of 56.92; In the six games played, the basketball players presented the valorization of the somatic anxiety with the following values: 59.16; 53.34; 59; 61.5; 56.17 and 55.4. The athletes valued somatic anxiety relatively in the six games with the following values: 3.71; 3.09; 3.82; 4.12;3.58 and 3.69. Basketball players participating in the 2017 African Under-16 Basketball Championship were dominated by moderate anxiety with a predominance of the somatic factor.

The purpose of this investigation was to study the relations between physical activity/sports, self-concept, and school performance, among youngsters between 12 and 19 years of age. Comparisonswere made taking into account the recommendations made by American College of Sports Medicine/American Heart Association for physical activity. The sample consisted of 624 individuals (268 males,354 females, and two unclassified by sex). Self-concept was measured with the Self-Description Questionnaire II (SDQ-II) translated and validated for Portuguese by Gonçalves e Vasconcelos-Raposo.Academic achievement/ school performance was defined based on the number of times the individuals failed. The results showed that there are positive relationships between physical activity and several dimensions of the self-concept and negative correlations between the level of physical activity andacademic achievement.

The year 2020 presented us with new challenges that we would never think of going through. Namely, a global epidemic due to the new CoViD-19 coronavivores that imposed social isolation on a large part of the world, if not the whole world. Being that the human being is, by nature, a social being and that his interaction with the environment and with others allows him to develop his own “me”, the social isolation imposed by the pandemic brought great challenges to society, causing the consequences not only in terms of health physical but above all at the level of mental health, including depression and anxiety. There are even studies that indicate that social isolation can increase the risk of heart disease by about 29% and the risk of stroke by around 32%. It is with your eyes set on these social challenges that there is a motivation to want to do more and better by taking advantage of technological tools.

The present study aimed to compare young people by sex, level of physical activity and stage ofadolescence according to levels of perfectionism. The sample consisted of 184 individuals (96 female)aged between 11 and 17 years old living in the interior of northern Portugal. The junior form of thePerfectionism Self-Presentation Scale (PSPS-Jr.) was used. The study showed differences by levels ofphysical activity, age group and sex. In view of the results, we can conclude that the very active scorehigher in the three subscales of perfectionism that younger adolescents differ in the self-promotionand non-verbalization subscales. Comparisons by sex show that male individuals have higher valuesfor all evaluated parameters.

Given the significant evolution of Virtual Reality technologies, these have become robust tools for different areas of application that go far beyond the entertainment area. One of the areas where this technology has stood out is in the training and certification of skills in a professional context.

The main objective of this study is to understand if there is a relationship between attractiveness andocular movement, when the variable physical exercise is introduced. This study included a sample of 30university students, all female, aged between 18 and 29 years [M = 20.60 and SD = 2.69]. The presentstudy is cross-sectional, quantitative, comparative and with a quasi-experimental design, having beencarried out in a laboratorial context. The instruments used were six different images, manipulated interms of muscularity, the SMI RED250 eye-tracker, a Likert scale to assess the attractiveness and stilla sociodemographic questionnaire. Linear combinations were performed through the MANOVA testwith a 2x2 factorial design of independent variables that maximize the differences between severalconditions of the dependent variables. As main results, we verified that in both factorial designs therewas a significant effect of the independent variables on the dependent variables, except in the variableaverage number of fixations, which only had a significant effect in the second factorial design. We canstill see that the area of the body most visualized was the chest. We conclude that the love relationship,the level of body satisfaction and the practice of physical exercise are variables that influence theocular movement and that there is a female preference regarding the chest of the male body.
