Peningkatan Kemampuan Berpikir Analitis Siswa Menggunakan Lembar Kerja Siswa (LKS) Metode Penemuan Terbimbing
Authors: Upoyo Agus Budi
Published: November 2022

Every day, the economic problems that exist in society are always changing. Meanwhile, solving it requires the ability to think analytically. Observations at school showed that the value of the analytical thinking ability of X IPS 5 students can be said to be low. One of the reasons is that students often only get questions up to the cognitive aspect, not the analytical aspect. So far, the average economic teachers at SMA Negeri 1 Lawang still teach by lecturing, whilst daily economic problems are only conveyed orally. As the result, many students still have difficulty understanding the contextual problems. Therefore, in this study, the Student Worksheet (LKS) was used as a medium to assist students in analyzing a concept with facts. This study used a guided discovery learning method as a learning method. This study used Classroom Action Research (CAR) which consists of two cycles with two meetings. The purpose of this study was to improve students' analytical thinking skills using Student Worksheets (LKS) with the guided discovery learning method. Data collection was carried out using an analytical thinking ability test. The results showed that the economic worksheets using the guided discovery learning model improved students' analytical thinking skills with an average score of 76.11 in the first cycle and an increase in the average score of 81.1 in the second cycle.

Published: November 2022

Individual dualism has become a symptom of a society in the 21st century, with all its excesses, including materialism and selfishness, which are present at all levels of society. 21st-century teachers have a different role from conventional teachers, where they act as facilitators, collaborators, mediators, and motivators in learning and teaching activities with effective and fun learning targets that require abilities that are influenced by knowledge, training, and experience. The era of disruption makes a form of play that leads to selfishness, including through gadgets, so there are limitations in interacting directly with peers. Therefore, the teacher strives to encourage sharing skills as a form of skill to students so that they can receive and give to others who are instilled in the early to late class so that it affects the ongoing interaction. This study used Slavin Theory, about efforts to increase social contact among students to achieve goals and the role of teachers in learning and teaching activities. This study used qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach.Keywords: Teacher’s role, sharing, era of disruption

Reassessing the Role of Subjectivity in Improvised Musical Performance
Authors: McAuliffe Sam
Published: November 2022

Notions of subjectivity and individuality pervade the discourse around jazz and non-idiomatic improvisation. While subjectivity plays an important role musical improvisation, the tendency to focus on the subjectivity of the player(s) – analysing their particular improvisatory approach(es) – has muddied the broader structure at issue: where the musical event goes beyond the players and leads them to unforeseen musical outcomes. In this paper I reassess the role of subjectivity in improvised music by interpreting it through a hermeneutic lens. I connect musical improvisation with three ideas characteristic of hermeneutics: prejudice/fore-understanding, conversation, and in-between. In each case I will describe how these topics describe improvisation and suggest means of arriving at a more nuanced understanding of the role of subjectivity in improvised musical performance.
The Collaborative Pedagogies of Solo Improvisation
Authors: Woods Peter J.
Published: November 2022

Although extant literature has argued for the pedagogical value of free improvisation within music education settings, these studies have largely overlooked how musicians develop their musical and sociocultural knowledges through this process of making music. In response, I use this paper to examine the mechanisms of learning within Thomson's notion of the performance as classroom. To do so, I situate this analysis within the noise music genre and analyze a video of American noise artists Crank Sturgeon to unveil how musical knowledges form within this performance. In doing so, I assert that the distributed and non-anthropocentric understanding of collaboration at the heart of noise music expands the borders of performance as classroom to engage not only the performer on stage but the audience and music making technologies in the process of developing a supposedly individual artistic practice.

Influences of Space Perturbations on Robotic Assembly Process of Ultra-Large Structures

Published: November 2022

The space assembly of two flexible beams by a dual-arm space robot is a typical assembly scenario to construct ultra-large space structure. Yet, previous studies mainly focused on the assembly of small structures, neglecting the influences of space perturbations. In this paper, two modelling methods are proposed to study the influences of space perturbations on the space assembly process of ultra-large space structures. Firstly, a theoretical modelling method is proposed based on quasi-static hypothesis and linear structural mechanics. The theoretical model can be utilized for analytically estimating the transverse and axial distributed forces of the flexible beams, structural vibrations, and the control moments of the space robot. An orbit-attitude-structure coupled simulation model is then established to validate the theoretical model and study the dynamic behaviours more accurately, using absolute nodal coordinate formulation and natural coordinate formulation. Finally, the effects of the attitude angle, orbital radius, and lengths of beams on the dynamic responses during assembly are investigated. Theoretical and simulation results show that the control moments and structural vibration amplitude increase dramatically with the length of the beams. The effects of Coriolis force and gravity gradient must be considered for ultra-large space structures during assembly, otherwise the control moments and structural vibrations would be substantially underestimated. The results are instructive to the assembly strategy design as well as modular component design of ultra-large space structures.
KC-GEE: Knowledge-based Conditioning for Generative Event Extraction
Authors: Wu Tongtong , Shiri Fatemeh , Kang Jingqi , Qi Guilin , Haffari Gholamreza , Li Yuan-Fang
Published: November 2022

Event extraction is an important but challenging task. Many existing techniques decompose it into event and argument detection/classification subtasks, which are complex structured prediction problems. Generation-based extraction techniques lessen the complexity of the problem formulation and are able to leverage the reasoning capabilities of large pretrained language models. However, they still suffer from poor zero-shot generalizability and are ineffective in handling long contexts such as documents. We propose a generative event extraction model, TC-GEE, that addresses these limitations. A key contribution of TC-GEE is a novel knowledge-based conditioning technique that injects the schema of candidate event types as the prefix into each layer of an encoder-decoder language model, thus enabling effective zero-shot learning and improving supervised learning. Our experiments on two benchmark datasets demonstrate the strong performance of our TC-GEE model. It achieves especially strong performance in the challenging document-level extraction task and in the zero-shot learning setting, outperforming state-of-the-art models by up to 27.7 absolute F1 points.
C3S-TTP: A Trusted Third Party for Configuration Security in TOSCA-based Cloud Services
Authors: Oulaaffart Mohamed , Badonnel Rémi , Festor Olivier
Published: November 2022

The large-scale deployment of cloud composite services distributed over heterogeneous environments poses new challenges in terms of security management. In particular, the migration of their resources is facilitated by recent advances in the area of virtualization techniques. This contributes to increase the dynamics of their configuration, and may induce vulnerabilities that could compromise the security of cloud resources, or even of the whole service. In addition, cloud providers may be reluctant to share precise information regarding the configuration of their infrastructures with cloud tenants that build and deploy cloud composite services. This makes the assessment of vulnerabilities difficult to be performed with only a partial view on the overall configuration.We therefore propose in this article an inter-cloud trusted third-party approach, called C3S-TTP, for supporting secure configurations in cloud composite services, more specifically during the migration of their resources. We describe the considered architecture, its main building blocks and their interactions based on an extended version of the TOSCA orchestration language. The trusted third party is capable to perform a precise and exhaustive vulnerability assessment, without requiring the cloud provider and the cloud tenant to share critical configuration information between each other. After designing and formalizing this third party solution, we perform large series of experiments based on a proof-of-concept prototype in order to quantify its benefits and limits.
Effects of perineuronal nets on neural firing properties

Published: November 2022

The perineuronal nets (PNNs) are sugar coated protein structures that encapsulate certain neurons in the brain, such as parvalbumin positive (PV) inhibitory neurons. As PNNs are theorized to act as a barrier to ion transport, they may effectively increase the membrane charge-separation distance, thereby affecting the membrane capacitance. Tewari et al. (2018) found that degradation of PNNs induced a 25\%-50\% increase in capacitance and a reduction in the firing rates of PV-cells. In the current work, we attempted to reproduce the experiments by Tewari et al. using a selection of computational neuron models, ranging in complexity from a single compartment Hodgkin-Huxley model to morphologically detailed PV-neuron models. In none of these models, the experimentally reported change in capacitance was sufficient to explain the experimentally reported reduction in firing rate. We therefore hypothesized that PNN degradation in the experiments affected cellular reversal potentials and ion channel conductances in addition to the capacitance. In simulations, we explored how various model parameters affected the firing rate of the model neurons, and identified main candidates for explaining the experiments.
Empirical Determination of the Effective Solid Modulus in Organic-Rich Shales
Authors: Spires K. Larkin , Castagna John P. , Omovie Sheyore John
Published: November 2022

Calculating the change in the saturated bulk modulus of a saturated rock as fluid properties change requires a priori selection of an effective bulk modulus of the solid constituents. When mineral moduli are similar, theoretical bounds on the solid modulus are tight. However, when solid properties vary greatly, as in organic-rich shales, bounds on the effective solid modulus result in uncertainty in the predicted change in the saturated bulk modulus of the rock. We use a semi-empirical rock physics model utilizing the Brown-Korringa equation for polymineral assemblages and introduce three parameters to estimate the pore space compressibility, the dry frame compressibility, and the fractional position of the effective solid modulus relative to the Reuss and Voigt bounds. We optimize for these three parameters in seven organic shale formations and find that the Reuss bound for the effective solid material modulus best fits the data when organic content is high. Furthermore, we use this model to fluid substitute to 100% brine saturation and find Gassmann’s equation using the Hill average predicts similar saturated moduli to the semi-empirical Brown-Korringa rock physics model when volume fraction of solid organic matter is less than 5%. However, at higher organic contents, we find that the error using the Gassmann-Hill approach increases, and the semi-empirical Brown-Korringa model better fits the data.

This study investigated the concentrations of nine metals such as Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni Cu, Co, Mn, Zn and Fe in dusts from automobile mechanic workshops (AMWs) in the Niger Delta, Nigeria. Samples of dusts were digestion with aqua-regia and analyzed for metals using atomic absorption spectrometry. The levels of metals in the AMW dusts (mg kg− 1) were 0.12 to 4.20 for Cd, 11.3 to 3897 for Pb, 9.05 to 45.3 for Cr, 0.35 to 345 for Ni, 170 to 56390 for Cu, 1.05 to 31.4 for Co, 51.3 to 310 for Mn, 143 to 634 for Zn and 70875 to 258013 for Fe. Metal distribution patterns in dusts from AMWs followed the sequence; Fe > > Cu > Zn > Mn > Pb > Cu > Ni > Co > Cd. The indices for pollution assessment indicated that Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were the top contaminants in the AMW dusts. The hazard index values obtained for children’s exposure to metal laden dusts from these AMWs were above 1 which implies that children exposure to dusts from AMWs could elicit adverse non-carcinogenic heath effects. The carcinogenic risk values obtained for human exposure to metals in these AMW dusts were above safe levels indicating possibility of inducing cancer or cancer related sickness. The sources of metals in dusts from the AMWs are related to automobiles emissions and discharges from vehicular components.

Strong ground motion can amplify and prolong due to local site conditions; consequently, it can cause severe damage in poor non-engineered structures. Usually, site response analysis is used to predict strong motion characteristics at the surface. In this study, one-dimensional nonlinear site response analysis is performed based on the prepared simplified engineering geomorphic unit of the Detailed Area Plan (DAP) of Dhaka City. The engineering geomorphic unit-based map was prepared from image analysis and verified with the collected boreholes data and surface geology map. For response analysis, the earthquake time histories are selected from the PEER NGA WEST2 data set, and BNBC 2020 uniform hazard spectrum (UHS) is considered as the target spectrum. In addition, two synthetic time histories are also generated and used for the site response analysis. For the selected earthquake ground motions, the near-surface soil response of the DAP of the Dhaka City area shows de-amplification of acceleration in the short period and amplified acceleration in the long period. The amplified long-period acceleration can cause severe damage in non-engineered long-period structures. The outcome of this study can be used to prepare a seismic risk-sensitive land use plan for the future development of the DAP area of Dhaka City.
Aspen Plus Simulation of Chemical Looping Combustion of Syngas and Methane in Fluidized Beds
Authors: Jasper Micah , Shahbazi Abolghasem , Schimmel Keith , Li Fanxing , Wang Lijun
Published: November 2022

Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) is a technology that efficiently combines power generation and CO2 capture. In CLC, the fuel is oxidized by a metal oxide called an oxygen carrier (OC). CLC uses two reactors: a fuel reactor and an air reactor. The fuel reactor oxidizes the fuel and reduces the OC. The air reactor oxidizes the reduced OC using air and then the OC is cycled back to the fuel reactor. It is typical for both the fuel and the air reactors to be fluidized beds (FBs).
In this research, an Aspen Plus model was developed to simulate a CLC system. Aspen Plus has recently included a built-in FB unit operation module. To our knowledge, no literature has been reported using this FB module for simulating fluidized bed combustion or gasification. This FB unit process was investigated in Aspen Plus and a kinetic based model was used and compared the simulation results to experimental data and the commonly used Gibbs equilibrium model. The FB unit and the kinetic model well fit the experimental data for syngas and methane combustion. An advantage of this model over other kinetic models in literature is that it uses a calculator for the core shrinking model and does not require the use of external Fortran. All kinetics are transformed into power law rate equations. The reaction rate equations are given for all reactions. A sensitivity analysis of the reaction kinetics was conducted. All data, code, and simulation files are given.

Published: November 2022

Inorganic/organic composite counter electrode comprised of CuI nanoparticles dispersed in PEDOT:PSS used for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC). Various weight percentages of CuI (2, 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt %) were used to prepare different composite films. Performances of DSSCs with CuI/PEDOT:PSS with various contents of CuI were investigated. After the optimization of composition the composite film CuI (10 wt. %)/ PEDOT:PSS, a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.60 % was achieved for the DSSC using TPA-CN1-R2 metal free dye as sensitizer, which is found to be higher than that of a DSSC with a Pt counter electrode (4.37 %) and PEDOT:PSS (3.00 %). The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed that the composite counter electrode exhibited better catalytic activity, improved reduction rate of tri-iodide, than pristine PEDOT:PSS counter electrode. The homogeneous nature of the CuI/PEDOT:PSS composite film, uniform distribution CuI nanoparticles in its polymer matrix, and large electrochemical surface area of composite film are seen to be the factors for the better photovoltaic performance for DSSC.

T2DM is a long-term metabolic disorder characterized by either the pancreas' inability to produce enough insulin or the body's inability to properly utilize the insulin it produces. The β-cell function and blood glucose homeostasis are two areas where TCF7L2 (Transcription factor 7 like 2) appears to be a significant candidate gene. KCNQ1 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily, member 1 has been discovered as a T2DM susceptibility gene in Asian populations by genome-wide association studies with rs2237892 polymorphism and an increased risk of developing T2DM. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between rs7903146 and rs2237892 SNP studies in T2DM patients. In this study, 60 T2DM cases and 60 controls were selected. Genotyping was performed for rs7903146 and rs2237892 SNPs using specific primers and restriction enzymes, then all PCR products were loaded on an agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide. The current study results confirmed rs7903146 SNP was strongly associated with genotype (OR-4.14; 95%CI:1.07-15.98; p=0.02) and allele frequencies (OR-4.60; 95%CI:1.66-12.70; p=0.001) whereas in rs2237892 SNP was not associated with any of the genotypes (OR-4.29; 95%CI:0.46-39.58; p=0.16; OR-3.21) or allele frequencies (OR-6.26; 95%CI:0.74-52.83; p=0.055). The current study results were found to be associated with global studies carried out in rs7903146 and rs2237892 SNP. The strength of this current study was to involve Saudi nationalities and we have screened rs7903146 and rs2237892 SNPs which plays a major role in T2DM. Involving 60 T2DM cases/60 controls was the major limitation of this study. Missing validation through Sanger sequencing analysis was one of the limitations of this study. In conclusion, the current study results confirmed rs7903146 SNP was strongly associated with T2DM and rs2237892 SNP was not associated with T2DM patients.
Understanding Emergency Room Visits for Nontraumatic Oral Health Conditions in a Hospital Serving Rural Appalachia: Dental Informatics Study
Authors: Khanna Raj K , Cecchetti Alfred A , Bhardwaj Niharika , Muto Bobbi Steele , Murughiyan Usha
Published: November 2022

Background

In the Appalachian region, a variety of factors will impact the ability of patients to maintain good oral health, which is essential for overall health and well-being. Oral health issues have led to high costs within the Appalachian hospital system. Dental informatics examines preventable dental conditions to understand the problem and suggest cost containment.

Objective

We aimed to demonstrate the value of dental informatics in dental health care in rural Appalachia by presenting a research study that measured emergency room (ER) use for nontraumatic dental conditions (NTDCs) and the associated economic impact in a hospital system that primarily serves rural Appalachia.

Methods

The Appalachian Clinical and Translational Science Institute’s oral health data mart with relevant data on patients (n=8372) with ER encounters for NTDC between 2010 and 2018 was created using Appalachian Clinical and Translational Science Institute’s research data warehouse. Exploratory analysis was then performed by developing an interactive Tableau dashboard. Dental Informatics provided the platform whereby the overall burden of these encounters, along with disparities in burden by age groups, gender, and primary payer, was assessed.

Results

Dental informatics was essential in understanding the overall problem and provided an interactive and easily comprehensible visualization of the situation. We found that ER visits for NTDCs declined by 40% from 2010 to 2018, but a higher percentage of visits required inpatient care and surgical intervention.

Conclusions

Dental informatics can provide the necessary tools and support to health care systems and state health departments across Appalachia to address serious dental problems. In this case, informatics helped identify that although inappropriate ER use for NTDCs diminished due to ER diversion efforts, they remain a significant burden. Through its visualization and data extraction techniques, dental informatics can help produce policy changes by promoting models that improve access to preventive care.
Variants of the single nucleotide polymorphisms of thymic stromal lymphopoietin and orsomucoid-1-like protein 3 as predictors of the mono- and polyorganic clinical phenotypes of atopic disorders in children
Authors: Dytiatkovskyi V.
Published: November 2022

Background. Atopic disorders (AtD), in particular atopic dermatitis (AD), have a complex genetic basis. There is reliable evidence for associations of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (rs_11466749 TSLP) and orsomucoid-1-like protein 3 (rs_7216389 ORMDL3) gene polymorphisms with the risk of developing mono- and polyorganic phenotypes of AtD in children. The aim of study: to determine associations between SNPs rs_11466749 TSLP and rs_7216389 ORMDL3 and the mono-organic phenotype of AD, to determine the risks of its occurrence with different variants of SNP data related to polyorganic phenotypes of AtD. Materials and methods. Two hundred and ninety-three children of the main group and 105 controls aged 3 to 18 years were recruited in the study. Patients of the main group had established diagnoses of AD, allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis (AR/AC) and bronchial asthma (BA) in both mono- and multiorganic phenotypes, and the control group did not have AtD and suffered from the gastrointestinal diseases. All patients underwent buccal swab for genotyping the variants A/A, A/G and G/G rs_11466749 TSLP, C/T, C/C and T/T rs_7216389 ORMDL3 using standardized kits by the means of real-time polymerase chain reaction with restriction fragment length polymorphism (qPCR). Pearson’s χ2 test, Fisher’s exact test, Bravais-Pearson correlation coefficient (rb) and odds ratio with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to achieve the stated study aim. The level of statistical significance was taken at p < 0.05, the trend was determined at p < 0.1. Results. The most frequent genotypes among those investigated within the mono-organic phenotype of AD are A/A and A/G rs_11466749 TSLP and C/T rs_7216389 ORMDL3. Genotype T/T rs_7216389 ORMDL3 has a significantly negative low association, and genotype A/G rs_11466749 TSLP — significantly direct medium association with mono-organic AD phenotype relative to polyorganic AD + AR/AC and AD + AR/AC + BA, respectively. There is a significantly reduced risk of developing mono-organic phenotype of AD compared to polyorganic phenotype of AD + AR/AC with the T/T rs_7216389 ORMDL3 genotype — 0.36 (95% CI 0.15–0.88). Related to the full polyorganic phenotype of AD + AR/AC + BA with the A/G rs_11466749 TSLP genotype, the risk of developing the AD phenotype is significantly increased to 5.81 times (95%CI 1.57–21.5). Conclusions. Carriers of A/A rs_11466749 TSLP, C/T and T/T rs_7216389 ORMDL3 genotypes have a higher risk of developing mono-organic AD phenotype than digestive disorders. Carriership of the A/G rs_11466749 TSLP genotype significantly increases the risk of the developing the mono-organic AD phenotype compared to the full polyorganic phenotype AD + AR/АC + BA, and of the T/T rs_7216389 ORMDL3 variant has a protective effect for the development of AD compared to the polyorganic phenotype AD + AR/AC.
Mother-love in Morrison's Beloved and A Mercy: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Bhatt Dr. Rajendra Prasad
Published: November 2022

This paper attempts to explore the experiences of black mothers and their relation with their children, who are the victims of slavery and racism. Through the examination of Beloved (1987) and A Mercy (2008), it mirrors the pathetic condition of African slaves. Both the novels are filled with many female characters but here the attention is paid to maternal figures i. e. Sethe, the enslaved mother in Beloved and Minha Mae, the enslaved mother in A Mercy. Reflecting the societal forces used by Southern white men to emasculate Southern black voice, it shows how miserable the lives of black women, especially, the lives of black mothers, who are crippled by the chains of slavery and discrimination in American. Applying narrative inquiry approach, this paper demonstrates mother child bonds in Morrison's narratives. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to make an in-depth analysis of the mother-child relationship depicted in Toni Morrison’s Beloved and A Mercy. By narrating events, experiences, and conditions which make the black women's lives pathetic, this paper argues that whatever these women think, feel, and perform, is an outcome of slavery. The comparative analysis of Beloved and A Mercy challenges distorted views commonly associated with the black mother and extends the notions of mothering which are prescribed and practiced in dominant cultures.

La paradoja de la presión académica excesiva aplicada en algunas escuelas de Educación Superior
Authors: De la Lama Zubirán Paula , De la Lama Zubirán Marco Alfredo , De la Lama García Alfredo
Published: November 2022

Este artículo es una reflexión crítica sobre el desempeño de los sistemas educativos con pretensiones de alta exigencia académica que hacen de la excesiva presión académica su bandera, y las consecuencias que tiene en su sistema educativo y en los estudiantes. Este planteamiento permitió establecer el objetivo de este artículo a partir de la siguiente pregunta: ¿Qué elementos deben tener en cuenta los centros de Educación Superior que se dicen de excelencia para que el alumno desarrolle todo su potencial académico e intelectual? Se trata de un análisis que recurre a la teoría de las probabilidades para mostrar que intentar eliminar el error beta (β), falso negativo (estudiantes que no debieran pertenecer en la institución), conlleva sustraer a grupos significativos de estudiantes que deberían permanecer (error alfa [α], falso positivo). Se hace una recomendación para dejar de ver este tema como un desafío individual y enfrentarlo como un problema social e institucional.

Authors: Moreno García Daniel , Hernández Ramírez Claudia Ivonne , García Villanueva Jorge
Published: November 2022

En los últimos años, la incorporación de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en las escuelas ha tenido un impacto rotundo para el profesorado de educación primaria porque ha implicado el desarrollo de habilidades digitales y el uso de los dispositivos y programas computacionales aparejado con el ejercicio didáctico, los procesos de enseñanza y de aprendizaje, y las condiciones pedagógicas, estructurales y administrativas de cada centro escolar. En la presente investigación se describen las experiencias docentes vinculadas con el uso de las tecnologías, su relación con el discurso institucional y su práctica pedagógica. El enfoque metodológico es cualitativo y el tipo de estudio es exploratorio. Las personas participantes fueron elegidas bajo un muestreo por conveniencia por la facilidad de acceso y la disponibilidad del profesorado; la muestra quedó conformada por cuatro docentes: dos de quinto y dos de sexto grado de escuelas públicas de la Ciudad de México. Las técnicas de recolección de datos fueron la entrevista, la observación y el análisis documental. Los instrumentos fueron una guía de entrevista y un registro de observación. Los resultados muestran que, en general, los programas y propuestas de inclusión de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación ponen el énfasis en las herramientas tecnológicas, en el aula de clase y en la práctica docente; sin embargo, se deja de lado la pedagogía, las relaciones sociales, la organización de las escuelas y la evaluación de los aprendizajes. En conclusión, es necesario repensar el papel de la educación y su relación con el uso de la tecnología para facilitar los aprendizajes esperados de cada nivel educativo y lograr trascender la inercia de las prácticas pedagógicas, organizacionales e impactar el complejo sistema educativo mexicano con el propósito de que es posible vehicular del espacio físico al virtual.
A invisibilidade dos mais vulneráveis: o trabalho infantil, no Brasil, durante a pandemia
Authors: Keske Henrique Alexander , Freire Rodemusch Claudine
Published: November 2022

No presente artigo, o objetivo principal da pesquisa trata de evidenciar as normas constitucionais e legais que, no Brasil, vieram a estruturar o sistema de proteção integral da criança e do adolescente, bem como o contexto de políticas públicas instituídas para lhes dar efetividade concreta, no meio social para o qual se dirigem. O método empregado diz respeito à análise legal e doutrinária, bem como crítica ao desmonte de tais políticas públicas, por determinações governamentais, em ações dissonantes a essas normas fundamentais, notadamente no que diz respeito à vulnerabilidade das condições do trabalho infantil e a exposição desses meninos e meninas, agora, ao contágio pelo coronavírus, em função da pandemia que estamos a atravessar. A pergunta norteadora pode ser assim expressa: de que forma é possível reverter ou, pelo menos, minimizar tal cenário de agressões aos direitos humanos fundamentais de crianças e adolescentes? Como resultado encontrado se enfatiza que a solução para o enfrentamento do problema se perfaz por políticas públicas de Estado, que devem se distanciar de injunções político-ideológicas de governos. Apresentase, como conclusão final que, para tal fim, se deva envolver nesse contexto, as entidades da sociedade civil organizada que tratam do tema.
Hacia una eventual Asamblea Constituyente: límites desde el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos a treinta años de la Asamblea Constituyente de 1991
Authors: Osorio Taborda Juan Camilo
Published: November 2022

A treinta años del proceso constituyente de 1991 podemos analizar en retrospectiva, con un método dialectico, las características de ese proceso disruptivo con el anterior régimen Constitucional y los principales argumentos que permitieron la existencia y la eficacia de una Asamblea Nacional Constituyente, a pesar de las prohibiciones de la anterior Constitución. Desde entonces se nos ha indicado que el poder del Constituyente primario, encarnado en la Asamblea Constituyente, es ilimitado y, por tanto, la Constitución que resulta de esta no depende de nada más que de su propia voluntad. Sin embargo, con perspectiva a futuro, es imposible no advertir que un proceso sin límite que determina el principal instrumento normativo del ordenamiento jurídico, puede desembocar fácilmente en la instauración de la tiranía. Por esto se determina la existencia de un claro límite al poder Constituyente en las obligaciones internacionales del Estado en materia de derechos humanos y que responde al control vinculante de los mecanismos internacionales de protección a los derechos humanos, que permite concluir que el poder popular encarnado en una eventual Asamblea Constituyente deberá ceñirse a diseñar la estructura de las instituciones del Estado buscando el reconocimiento, respeto y garantía efectiva de los derechos humanos.
Estimulando “Super Juízes”: a relação entre desenho institucional e comportamento judicial na América Latina
Authors: Denari Gomes de Mattos Karina , Lage Alves Dantas Fernanda , Gonçalves Vasconcelos Vitor Jorge
Published: November 2022

O encorajamento de “super juízes” em Cortes Constitucionais pode se dar de diversas formas, seja por razões institucionais, como as posições de Presidente da Corte ou de Ministro Relator em casos específicos, seja pela tomada de posição, dissidente ou representativa, que extrapola o escopo técnico e engaja o apoio da opinião pública. O presente artigo busca contribuir com a literatura nacional e internacional sobre o tema mapeando quais são os estímulos institucionais que podem ter efeitos na construção de personas públicas pelos juízes das Cortes Constitucionais. Toma-se como referencial teórico a obra de Nuno Garoupa e Tom Ginsburg sobre construção de Reputação Judicial. A pesquisa será realizada por meio de análise exploratória e comparativa com foco nas Cortes Constitucionais do México, Colômbia e Brasil, mantendo-se o viés latino-americano e com a pretensão de abrir caminho para uma nova abordagem deste tema a partir dos estudos da Reputação Judicial. Como resultado encontrado se enfatiza que Cortes Latino Americanas podem representar um interessante espaço amostral para avaliar (i) como a presença da judicialização da política interfere na atuação política dos juízes e (ii) como juízes de Cortes Constitucionais buscam reconhecimento e prestígio junto às suas audiências, especialmente consideradas as formas de composição destas. Conclui-se preliminarmente que os elementos de desenho institucional parecem constituir um dos elementos centrais para compreendermos a moldura que delimita a forma que os juízes constroem e usam sua reputação para auferir benefícios, durante e após a investidura.
A construção do Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada
Authors: Fontolan Maria Vitoria , De Souza Lima Romilda , Botti Capellari Marta
Published: November 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma revisão de literatura sobre a construção do Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada – DHAA. Tal revisão é fundamental para a compreensão do tema de pesquisa de dissertação de mestrado que se encontra em desenvolvimento. A análise inicia-se a partir do cenário internacional e do contexto da América Latina e Caribe e, por fim, focaliza no Brasil e no Estado do Paraná - Brasil. Também é feita uma breve análise sobre a extinção do Conselho Nacional de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional - CONSEA brasileiro, sob a perspectiva do princípio da proibição do retrocesso e da concepção de realização progressiva dos direitos sociais. A pesquisa concluiu que o DHAA, em nível global, é amplamente debatido, todavia ele ainda enfrenta desafios para sua efetivação; no que tange a América Latina e Caribe, a fragilidade democrática tem sido um obstáculo à sua realização e, especificamente, no Brasil, o desmonte de políticas públicas voltadas ao DHAA bem como a extinção do Conselho Nacional de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional ofendem o princípio da proibição do retrocesso. A pesquisa é de cunho exploratório-analítico de artigos científicos e outros documentos.
Tecnologias como novos riscos aos Direitos Humanos e a possível tutela do Direito
Authors: Puntel Raminelli Francieli
Published: November 2022

As novas tecnologias facilitam e contribuem para a vida do indivíduo em sociedade, mas, ao mesmo tempo, podem apresentar riscos de violação de direitos. Entre benefícios e malefícios acarretados pelas novas tecnologias, em especial a internet, encontra-se o Direito, que, com muita dificuldade busca uma maneira de regulamentar o ciberespaço. Por este motivo, buscou-se responder a seguinte questão: diante do contexto criado pela relação entre novas tecnologias e os possíveis riscos que apresenta para os Direitos Humanos, quais são as alternativas existentes, hoje, na busca por uma regulamentação do ciberespaço? Objetivou-se contextualizar a relação existente entre as novas tecnologias e os direitos humanos, apresentar em que pontos essas oferecem um risco aos direitos já existentes e àqueles que são conhecidos como “novos direitos” e, por fim, apresentar como o Direito está caminhando para solucionar estas dificuldades. Utilizou-se do método de abordagem dedutivo, com técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Conclui-se que, hoje, não existe uma alternativa robusta o suficiente para uma regulamentação satisfatória do ciberespaço, mas é evidente a necessidade de que um sistema seja construído em nível internacional.
Dignidad humana y derechos sociales en la pandemia: obligaciones prestacionales del Estado y prohibición de la protección insuficiente
Authors: Torres Teixeira Sergio , Ivo Jasiel , Montenegro Alencar Amanda
Published: November 2022

En situaciones de emergencia se buscan posibilidades de relativizar el principio de legalidad, considerando las relaciones laborales como un bien que merece ser preservado. El problema propuesto es cómo y en qué medida debe observarse, ante una situación extraordinaria, el principio de legalidad que orienta las políticas de gobierno y el accionar de los servidores públicos y encargados de hacer cumplir la ley. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar qué opción hermenéutica es la adecuada para interpretar la realidad surgida con la pandemia por la COVID-19 y reflexionar sobre la valoración de los principios legales que equilibran y sirven de freno y contrapeso de la acción estatal, evitando arbitrariedades. El método adoptado es el analítico, con revisión bibliográfica y documental, principalmente de textos de leyes y actos normativos. Se espera demostrar la importancia y actualidad del tema, así como contribuir a la propuesta de una solución sostenible que responda al problema planteado, señalando los valores más importantes a preservar. La conclusión es que el principio de prohibición de la protección insuficiente surge como un faro para el Estado en su misión institucional de garantizar la convivencia social y el goce de derechos fundamentales a todos los ciudadanos.
