The United States (U.S.) faces notably high income inequality compared to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) average, with wealth concentrated in the top brackets. This paper critically examines the existing U.S. redistribution methods, including the taxation system and welfare programs, highlighting challenges such as the lack of tax progressiveness in top brackets and limited redistribution compared to European counterparts. Based on this overview, the study evaluates alternative redistribution strategies, including wealth and business taxes. The paper compares theory with insights from pilot programs in other countries. Finally, the paper argues for a universal basic income (UBI) set at per-capita welfare spending, positing that this approach can empower individuals to escape poverty traps, enhance productivity, and introduce a choice mechanism for welfare consumption. Ultimately, this research seeks to propose the most effective and feasible income redistribution policies for the U.S. to bridge the income inequality gap. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":127066,"journal":{"name":"Technium Social Sciences Journal","volume":"87 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140725808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Those both administrative and academic services are handled directly by t he Rectorate office and the working units under it. Student administrative services include admission, registration, tutoring the Modul-Base of course subject matter, exam-schedules determination, exam-results announcement, grader-transcripts printing and graduation ceremonies. Academic services involve curriculum establishment, subject course material settlement, tutorial services, remedial teaching, learning assessment, and academic judisium. The objectives of managerial centralization and standardization are at least assuring the achievement of managerial efficiency and effectivity. However, in the practical terms the midle line and operating core bussiness services apperently could not resolve problems in quick and effective manner, when students asked for help due to the problems of delivered administrative and academic services. The research question was \"what is the impact of centralized and standardized of student service management system to the UT overall services performance?\". The method used was a case-study, and the data were taken through series of document review, observation technique and interviews. The data were analyzed descriptively qualitative using MPFAAC technique. The study concluded that the student service managerial centralization and standardization brought about the inability of the midle line and operating core bussiness services from doing any job creativity, innovation, and responsivity.","PeriodicalId":127066,"journal":{"name":"Technium Social Sciences Journal","volume":"14 S1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140727366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of them show scientific skills, technological innovation, and others are considered high-performance athletes. They can enhance their abilities and face more demanding challenges by participating in academic and/or sporting events. The aim of this study was \"to discuss the importance of the timely detection of outstanding students in upper secondary education academic units, as well as to analyse the factors that influence the achievement of their goals\". The research was conducted at the Guasave Daytime High School of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS), in the municipality of Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico. It was designed as a case study, with an exploratory-explanatory analysis. A total of 455 surveys were administered to students. The academic unit has 3898 students, the data were captured in Google Forms to describe the attitudinal profile of high school students, ways of learning, strengths, and weaknesses to develop scientific skills. Interest in participating in important academic and sporting events was considered as activities to identify outstanding students.  The results show the importance of implementing strategies that allow teachers to detect outstanding students in a timely manner. The dissemination of extracurricular activities was considered because students have the potential to develop their scientific and sporting talents.  However, these activities have little dissemination among students. It is concluded that the Academic Units should have a greater dissemination of extracurricular activities and have a programme to detect outstanding students. It is important to train and guide teachers so that they can identify and channel outstanding students and be able to enhance their abilities.","PeriodicalId":127066,"journal":{"name":"Technium Social Sciences Journal","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140722484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing a comprehensive literature review and meta-analysis, it explores the dynamics of power and status within organizations, the influence of social resources on socioeconomic status, and the role of social networking sites in shaping social capital and psychological health. The research investigates how hierarchical structures within organizations and informal social settings contribute to social differentiation, examining the effects of power, status, and social resources on individual and group dynamics. Additionally, it assesses the impact of social networking sites on social well-being, career development, and psychological health, considering both the positive and negative consequences of online social interactions. The study reveals that while hierarchical systems and social networking can foster social capital, professional growth, and enhanced well-being, they also pose risks of social inequality, psychological distress, and exacerbated mental health issues. The findings underscore the complexity of social relations in the digital age, offering insights for developing more inclusive social structures and healthier digital interaction spaces. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between social hierarchies, networking, and well-being, providing valuable implications for organizational leaders, policymakers, and individuals navigating social differentiation and digital socialization.","PeriodicalId":127066,"journal":{"name":"Technium Social Sciences Journal","volume":"133 29","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140726034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this objective, the Motivational Inventory of Academic Achievement (IMLA) is created, supported by a rigorous methodological process in order to make this instrument reliable and valid. The psychometric properties of the IMLA were determined from the analysis of content validity, reliability and construct in a sample of 464 higher education students from a Chilean and a Spanish university.

Within it, the reactions of the individual who harm the values protected by criminal norms are analyzed, aiming to guarantee the rights of the parties and other participants, as well as the efficient exercise of the duties of the judicial bodies. \u0000Although the purpose of criminal proceedings is no longer effectively enshrined in the Code of Criminal Procedure, the notion is nevertheless found in Article 8 of the Code of Criminal Procedure under the title \"Fairness and reasonable term of criminal proceedings\". It stipulates that criminal prosecution and trial must be conducted in compliance with procedural guarantees and the rights of parties and procedural subjects in such a way that facts constituting criminal offences are ascertained in a timely and complete manner, no innocent person is held criminally responsible and any individual who has committed a crime is punished according to law,  within a reasonable time. \u0000According to Article 97 para. (1) Code of Criminal Procedure, evidence is those realities, events, circumstances that serve to establish the existence or non-existence of a crime, as well as to the identity of the person who committed it. Thus, evidence comprises three interconnected and interdependent elements: evidence, means of proof and evidentiary procedures. The literature states that by introducing this system, \"a more effective control over the manner of taking evidence can be established. Moreover, the analysis of the evidence will be possible only in terms of form, so that it complies with the law, while the analysis of the evidentiary procedures will concern the technical operation by which that means of evidence was obtained.\" \u0000The use of technical supervision as an evidentiary procedure in criminal proceedings is a topical topic, given the technological leap in communication and information that has taken place in recent years. We note that in the title dedicated to evidence (Title IV) of the New Code of Criminal Procedure we find a new chapter (Chapter IV), which refers to special surveillance or investigation techniques. This legislation seeks to strike a balance between ensuring the State's right to use new evidentiary procedures and respecting the right to privacy and the secrecy of correspondence. \u0000Thus, Article 138 para. (1) The Code of Criminal Procedure expressly and exhaustively provides for special technical surveillance techniques, as follows: letter (a) interception of conversations and communications; lit.(b) access to an information system; lit.(c) video, audio or photographic surveillance; (d) tracking or tracing by technical means; lit.(e) obtaining data on a person's financial transactions. Interception is defined as the intervention of authorized bodies in any kind of conversations or in any other electronic means of communication involving the idea of confidentiality. \u0000The results of the technical surv","PeriodicalId":127066,"journal":{"name":"Technium Social Sciences Journal","volume":"45 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140721085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
