This article aims to analyze the criminal record: the (un)necessity of analyzing the Principle of Insignifi cance for the repeat off ender who practices a simple crime, typifi ed in the Penal Code, without considering the material typicality of the concrete facts of negligible expressiveness in disfavor of the victim, as well as his recidivism for the same or a diff erent crime, where such an act would not generate exaggerated or highly relevant property damage to society. It should be noted that the aforementioned principle applied to cases of people with a “dirty record” be supported by the judicial system, in addition to imposing limits on unnecessary demands and, being these avoided, by the non-applicability of the sentence, consequently generating a positive result within the prisons. /prisons. Thus, it appears that according to the doctrine and the STF, in order for the Principle of Insignifi cance to be applied in the specifi c case in favor of the accused, four conditions would be necessary, namely, the minimum off ensiveness of the conduct, the inexistence of dangerousness of the action, the tiny degree of disapproval of this action and the inexpressiveness of the injury caused. Finally, to carry out the present research, used as a research method, the descriptive bibliographic method in order to analyze the main theoretical contributions on the subject, using instruments that deal with the theme addressed, such as: Books, Newspapers, Jurisprudence, articles and monograph.

The present work aims to present the investigation carried out in social networks, for the construction of scientifi c knowledge, about how the média approaches the topic related to sex education. Having as methodological support the ethnography and the description of a methodological path that used the platform: Youtube as a locus of data production. Taking into account the numerous social networking sites that currently exist, the video platform was selected as the place to search for the empirical material of the research. A survey of data regarding the sexual education of children and adolescents was carried out. Sexual education is of great importance to prevent possible acts of rape against our children and adolescents, it is a priority to inform them about their privacy and about the touches that may be unpleasant for them. It is necessary to approach in an appropriate way for each age group about self-protection, consent, about the diff erence of touches that can be invasive and about the corporal integrity of children and adolescents.
Prostituição no Brasil
Authors: Souto Katherinne Dias
Published: February 2024

There is a lot to be said about the “oldest profession in the world”, always being a controversial topic in the most diverse social groups. Its social and cultural aspects are rooted in Brazilian society since the beginning of colonization and, after the end of slavery, prostitution became the livelihood of most ex-slaves. In Brazil, it reached its peak in the 1930s, both through the literary works of the writer Jorge Amado and through the brothels in Rio de Janeiro, which became world famous and promoted sex tourism. In 1980, the professionals demonstrated in search of their rights, waiting for a position from the government. This caused a division between social groups that supported the regulation of prostitution as an “any” profession and those that considered its exercise as a form of sexual exploitation and commodifi cation of the female body. However, it was only in 2002 that, after numerous debates, it was recognized by the Ministry of Labor as a profession allowed for people over 18 years of age.

Authors: Ruiz Filho José Carlos , Parra Filho Raphael Hernandes
Published: February 2024

This article analyzed the eff ects arising from the decriminalizing institute of the criminal transaction, bringing the idea that the Special Criminal Courts have great relevance to society. To achieve this objective, an analysis was carried out on the legal and social relevance of the Special Criminal Courts for the resolution of demands arising from the criminal fi eld, presenting their guiding principles and discussing their competence. In addition, the criminal transaction institute was presented, bringing its concept, its applicability and its impact on the demands of the Special Criminal Court. Furthermore, it was studied about the consequences arising from non-compliance with the criminal transaction and about the possibility of converting the restrictive penalty of rights into deprivation of liberty, as well as about the execution of the fi ne and the off ering of the complaint from the resumption of the procedure. As for the methodological options, the Literary Review was used, with works by scholars, legislation, journals and scientifi c articles published on the central subject, carrying out a reading and written interpretation, conserving its context and referencing it. The research results showed that there is great debate about the consequences of non-compliance with the criminal transaction, but the Federal Supreme Court made it clear that, if the agent fails to comply with the sentence imposed on him at the time of the transaction, the benefi t will be revoked and the process, which was interrupted before, will continue normally, returning to the same state in which it was previously.
Participação popular no orçamento municipal
Authors: Paes Arnoldo Fonseca
Published: February 2024

This article aims to analyze popular participation in the public budget as an instrument to promote effi cient management, with the necessary transparency in compliance with constitutional and legal mandates, especially those contained in the Fiscal Responsibility Law. The question to be answered is the following: to what extent can popular participation contribute to the promotion of transparent and effi cient management? The methodology applied in the research allows to classify the research as exploratory, with the use of a bibliographical survey to collect the data. The problem approach is qualitative, with critical analysis of data content. The results obtained showed that the public budget has the purpose of guiding the investments to be made by the Public Administration. Therefore, considering that, according to the Federal Constitution of 1988, one of the guiding principles of administrative activity is the principle of effi ciency, transparency being another principle that guides the actions of the Public Administration in relation to the fi scal responsibility attributed to it by the legislator, popular participation in the planning of the municipal public budget, besides providing a better distribution of public resources, directing them to attend social lawsuits, also allows repression of abuses committed, characteristic of misuse of purpose, reduction of failures in the process and social repercussion of its eff ects.

Authors: Silva José Tadeu
Published: February 2024

With the increasing computerization of public administration, administrative processes have followed the trend of electronic management, through systems that allow its processing faster and more transparent, additionally adding greater productivity and effi ciency. This virtually irreversible movement establishes the necessary conditions for major innovations, as it allows knowledge engineering (EC) techniques to be applied to repositories inexorably formed by large volumes of data, either for their improvement towards better citizen service or as a support to public servants in decision making. Through the application at the Instituto Brasília Ambiental - IBRAM of organizational modeling, proposed by the CommonKADS methodology, this article seeks to analyze the feasibility of developing a knowledge-intensive system capable of assisting in the analysis of environmental licensing processes. The diffi culties evidenced show that the greatest challenges are related to the culture of the organization and the complexity of the knowledge involved, which can be worked gradually with generic functionalities of administrative processes.

Abstract. In recent years, there has been globally increasing interest in dairy sheep breeding, including Lacaune sheep, which is supported by a high demand for sheep's milk on the market. This paper elaborates on the influence of a sheep's lactation stage on the physical and chemical properties, hygienic quality and content of fatty acids in milk produced by Lacaune sheep kept in intensive breeding. The research was conducted on 30 Lacaune sheep, which were tested in the early (60th day), middle (120th day) and late (180th day) stages of lactation. Density, freezing point and titration acidity were determined by applying the infrared spectrometry method, and indicators of the hygienic quality of milk, such as somatic cell count (SCC), were determined by the fluoro-opto-electronic method, and the total count of aerobic mesophilic bacteria (CFU) was determined by the flow cytometry method. The fatty acid profile of feed and milk was obtained by gas–liquid chromatography. Depending on the stage of lactation, results referring to the chemical composition of Lacaune sheep's milk showed a significant increase in the content of fat, protein, total dry matter and casein together with a significant decrease in the content of lactose in the late stage of lactation. There was also a significant increase confirmed for the concentration of urea and the freezing point in milk along with the lactation progress. Depending on the stage of lactation, milk yield in Lacaune sheep significantly decreased as lactation progressed. Analysis of the fatty acid composition in milk of Lacaune sheep proved a significant decrease in the concentrations of C4 : 0, C6 : 0, C11 : 0, C12 : 0, C13 : 0, C15 : 0, C17 : 1, C18 : 2n6 and C18 : 3n6 as well as the n6 concentrations and the n6 / n3 ratio. The opposite trend was observed for concentrations of C10 : 0, C14 : 1, C16 : 0, C16 : 1, C18 : 0, C20 : 2, C18 : 3n3, C20 : 3n6, C20 : 5n3 and C22 : 6n3 as well as for the n3 concentrations. When compared to the early lactation stage, the C18 : 3n6 and n6 concentrations were significantly lower in the late lactation stage, while the C20 : 2 and C20 : 5n3 concentrations were significantly lower in the middle lactation stage when compared to the late lactation stage. There were many significant positive and negative correlations determined between the researched properties of milk. The research results obtained with Lacaune sheep's milk can be compared to the results of other studies, except for the lower content of milk fat. This confirms the good adaptability of Lacaune sheep to different breeding conditions and the necessity to provide sheep with quality pastures for grazing.
AeroMix v1.0.1: a Python package for modeling aerosol optical properties and mixing states
Authors: Raj Sam P. , Sinha Puna Ram , Srivastava Rohit , Bikkina Srinivas , Subrahamanyam D. Bala
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Assessing aerosol mixing states, which mainly depend on aerosol chemical compositions is indispensable to estimate aerosol direct and indirect effects. While the limitations in the measurements of aerosol chemical composition and mixing states persist globally, the Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds (OPAC) model has been widely used to construct optically equivalent aerosol chemical compositions from measured aerosol optical properties using Mie inversion. However, the representation of real atmospheric aerosol mixing scenarios in OPAC has perennially been challenged by the exclusive assumption of external mixing. A Python successor to the aerosol module of the OPAC model is developed, named 'AeroMix,' with novel capabilities to 1) model externally and core-shell mixed aerosols, 2) simulate optical properties of aerosol mixtures constituted by any number of aerosol components, 3) and define aerosol composition and relative humidity in up to 6 vertical layers. Designed as a versatile open-source aerosol optical model framework, AeroMix is tailored for sophisticated inversion algorithms aimed at modeling aerosol mixing states and also their physical and chemical properties. AeroMix's performance is demonstrated by modeling the probable aerosol mixing states over Kanpur (urban), India, and the Bay of Bengal (marine). The modeled mixing states are consistent with independent measurements using single-particle soot photometer (SP2) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), substantiating the potential capability of AeroMix to model complex aerosol mixing scenarios involving multiple internally mixed components in diverse environments. This work contributes a valuable tool for modeling aerosol mixing states to assess their impact on cloud nucleating properties and radiation budget.
A daily reconstructed chlorophyll-a dataset in South China Sea from MODIS using OI-SwinUnet

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Satellite remote sensing of sea surface chlorophyll products sometimes yields a significant amount of sporadic missing data due to various variables, such as weather conditions and operational failures of satellite sensors. The limited nature of satellite observation data impedes the utilization of satellite data in the domain of marine research. Hence, it is highly important to investigate techniques for reconstructing satellite remote sensing data to obtain spatially and temporally uninterrupted and comprehensive data within the desired area. This approach will expand the potential applications of remote sensing data and enhance the efficiency of data usage. To address this series of problems, based on the demand for research on the ecological effects of multiscale dynamic processes in the South China Sea, this paper combines the advantages of the optimal interpolation (OI) method and SwinUnet and successfully develops a deep learning model based on the expected variance in data anomalies, called OI-SwinUnet. The OI-SwinUnet method was used to reconstruct the MODIS chlorophyll-a concentration products of the South China Sea from 2013 to 2017. When comparing the performances of the DINEOF, OI, and Unet approaches, it is evident that the OI-SwinUnet algorithm outperforms the other algorithms in terms of reconstruction. We conduct a reconstruction experiment using different artificial missing patterns to assess the resilience of OI-SwinUnet. Ultimately, the reconstructed dataset was utilized to examine the seasonal variations and geographical distribution of chlorophyll-a concentrations in various regions of the South China Sea. Additionally, the impact of the plume front on the dispersion of phytoplankton in upwelling areas was assessed. The potential use of reconstructed products to investigate the process by which individual mesoscale eddies affect sea surface chlorophyll is also examined.

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Background: Septic arthritis (SA) of the native adult hip is a rare orthopaedic emergency requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. As clinical presentation and laboratory findings are frequently atypical, advanced imaging is often requested. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the prevalence and pattern of extra-articular infectious manifestations and their implications for pre-operative advanced imaging in patients with proven SA of the native hip joint. Methods: Out of 41 patients treated surgically for SA of the native hip during a 16-year period at our tertiary referral hospital, 25 received advanced imaging (computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET-CT)) prior to initial intervention. For each investigation, a specific set of variables was systematically interpreted, and the most suitable surgical approach was determined. The prognostic value was evaluated by comparing specific outcome measures and the extent of extra-articular involvement. Results: It was found that 32 % of patients had an abscess in one anatomical region, 32 % of patients had abscesses in multiple anatomical regions, and only 36 % of patients had no substantial abscess. Gluteal abscesses were especially common in patients with SA due to contiguous spread. Abscesses in the iliopsoas region were more common in patients with SA due to hematogenous seeding. A combination of several different surgical approaches was deemed necessary to adequately deal with the various presentations. No significant prognostic factors could be identified. Conclusion: We recommend performing advanced imaging in patients with suspected or proven septic arthritis of the native hip joint, as extra-articular abscesses are present in 64 % and might require varying anatomical approaches.

Abandonar la escolaridad es un problema para la política y práctica educativas del que podemos aprender. Quienes abandonan pueden mostrar con esta decisión capacidad de agencia y autonomía. Sus experiencias nos permiten repensar la escuela. Es el punto de partida de esta investigación donde planteamos mejorar la escuela a partir de la reflexión de estudiantes que abandonan. Se ha trabajado con 30 relatos de vida de personas entre 18 y 35 años con trayectorias educativas discontinuas. El análisis nos permite apreciar el desenganche como el proceso y emoción de percibirse con la marca de “mal alumno”, al no verse reconocido dentro de lo que la institución escolar fomenta y valora. Sus relatos rescatan también buenas prácticas docentes como espacios para construir lo común, a partir de la creación del vínculo profesor-alumno, facilitando el sentimiento de pertenencia a la escuela. En conclusión, se hace necesario abordar la educación como espacio de reconocimiento del estudiante, como una oportunidad donde visibilizar sus méritos. El avance en este tema deberá apoyarse en prácticas dialógicas que permitan construir un proyecto común.

Проведено сравнительное испытание на вязкость разрушения (трещиностойкость) образцов металла шва сварного соединения из низкоуглеродистой стали в состоянии поставки и после высокотемпературного воздействия при температуре 1200 °С в течение 3,7 ч. Сварное соединение получали методом автоматической аргонодуговой сварки плавящимся электродом на горячекатаном листе толщиной 60 мм из стали 22К, используя сварочную проволоку марки СВ-08Г2С. Испытания на статическую трещиностойкость образцов с концентратором напряжений проводили по схеме трехточечного изгиба. В качестве характеристики трещиностойкости использовали один из энергетических критериев нелинейной механики разрушения – критический J-интеграл [Дж/м2], учитывающий пластическую деформацию в вершине трещины. Показано, что высокотемпературное воздействие приводит к повышению трещиностойкости (значение J-интеграла увеличивается в два раза) в результате фазовой перекристаллизации и исправления крупнозернистой перегретой структуры сварного шва.

A comparative test for crack resistance (fracture toughness) of the samples of the weld metal of a low-carbon steel welded joint in the asdelivered condition and after high-temperature exposure at a temperature of 1200 °C for 3.7 hours was carried out. The welded joint was obtained by automatic argon-arc welding with a consumable electrode on a hot-rolled 22K-type steel sheet of 60 mm thick using welding wire grade SV-08G2S. The tests for static crack resistance of the samples with a stress concentrator were carried out according to the three-point bending scheme. One of the energy criteria of nonlinear fracture mechanics, the critical J-integral [J/m2], which takes into account plastic deformation at the crack tip, was used as a crack resistance characteristic. It is shown that the high-temperature exposure leads to an increase in crack resistance (the J-integral value increases by 2 times) as a result of phase recrystallization and improving the coarse-grained overheated structure of the weld.

Consumer’s Price Sensitivity and Shrinkflation Strategy as A Trailblazer of Chocolate Market
Authors: Dr. P B Banudevi Arathy Joshy,
Published: February 2024

The chocolate industry is a multifaceted and constantly evolving landscape in which price sensitivity and shrinkflation are paramount in determining sales and profitability. This article sheds light on how changes are marked and prices are adjusted to cater to the discerning tastes of modern-day consumers. Examining new pricing strategies, product innovation, and branding gives an in-depth analysis of recent trends shaping this exciting industry. Therefore chocolate manufacturers need to consider the impact of marking changes on the market and consumer behaviour. The sample size of the study is 100, out of which 4 questionnaires are incomplete.  Hence, the sample size of the study is 96, and the sample units are the consumers of chocolates in Kerala. the sample is large and widespread, a purposive sampling method is adopted. In this study, ANOVA, Multiple comparisons, and Chi–square tests are applied and tested. Shrinkflation marketing is one of the untouched areas by the researchers. It is vital to understand the way consumers behave on price sensitivity and do they accept package downsizing. This research aims to uncover how packaging and portion size alterations impact consumer behavior and preferences, to provide a deeper understanding of consumer psychology, which can have a big impact on how consumers perceive value. The effect of marking modifications on the market and customer behaviour must therefore be taken into account by chocolate manufacturers.

Published: February 2024

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is increasingly recognized as one of the goals of holistic healthcare. Crohn's disease is the most common inflammatory bowel disease that necessitates long-term management and increases the risk of psychological distress and social disruption, leading to impaired HRQoL in comparison to healthy controls. We administered the PedsQLTM 4.0 scale to 40 children aged 2 to 17 years with Crohn’s disease and their parents to evaluate the HRQoL of patients and define the variables that impact these individuals. Our study indicated that children with Crohn's disease experienced a decrease in their HRQoL in school functioning. We found that factors related to decreased quality of life in these patients included gender (female), stunting, living in low-income families, higher disease activity index, and undergoing surgical intervention.
Correlation between plasma renin concentration and plasma renin activity assays on the Maglumi 800 chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer
Authors: Quyen Luong Hue , Mai Tran Thi Chi
Published: February 2024

The ratio of plasma aldosterone concentration to plasma renin activity (PAC/PRA) is the most common screening test for primary hyperaldosteronism, but it is not standardized among laboratories. We evaluated the correlation between plasma renin concentration (PRC) and plasma renin activity (PRA), and then PAC/PRC and PAC/PRA ratios on Maglumi 800 immunoassay analyzer. Forty-five plasma samples from volunteers were collected. PRC, PRA and PAC were measured by Maglumi 800 - a fully-auto chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer. Correlation between plasma renin concentration (PRC) and plasma renin activity (PRA), and then PAC/PRC and PAC/PRA ratios were determined by regression analysis. PRC and PRA showed a good correlation (r = 0.88). The PAC/PRC and PAC/PRA ratios have a similar relationship (r = 0.757). Because of the advantages of the procedure and the independence of PRC from endogenous angiotensinogen levels, PRC may be used preferentially over PRA as high throughput screening tool.

Published: February 2024

The research evaluated the acute and subchronic toxicities of An Nguyet Khang tablets in experimental animals. Acute toxicity was defined by the method of Litchfield Wilcoxon in Swiss mice. The subchronic toxicity was evaluated by WHO and OECD's recommendation in Wistar rats with oral doses of 0.65 g/kg/day (equal to recommended human dose) and 1.95 g/kg/day (3 times as high as recommended human dose) in fourconsecutive weeks. We found that An Nguyet Khang tablet at the highest dose used for mice (35.15 g/kg) did not express acute toxicity in mice. Regarding the subchronic toxicity test, after oral administration of An Nguyet Khang tablets, hematological parameters, hepato-renal functions, and microscopic images of the liver and kidney were unchanged compared with the control group. In conclusion, An Nguyet Khang tablets did not produce acute and subchronic toxicities in Swiss mice and Wistar rats.

Published: February 2024

Hypericum sampsonii or Sampson’s St John’s Wort is a species of flowering plant in the Hypericaceae family. Our previous study revealed the diverse and bioactive chemical constituents of the plant. This study investigates the antioxidant activity and potential hepatoprotective of Hypericum sampsonii extract (BLD1 extract) in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro experiment was carried out with DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay to assess the antioxidant properties of BLD1 extract. In the in vivo experiment, the hepatoprotective activity of BLD1 extract was evaluated on an acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity mouse model. The in vitro assay demonstrated that the extract exhibited antioxidant activity in a dose-dependent manner. In the in vivo experiments, BLD1 extract at both doses (3.6 g/kg b.w day and 10.8 g/kg b.w day) reflected the decrease in serum ALT, AST and MDA level. Hepatic histology was also investigated post-mortem to assess the degree of liver injury. The overall findings of this study demonstrate the potential hepatoprotective effect of Hypericum sampsonii in acetaminophen-induced oxidative stress and liver toxicity in mice. This study has established the efficacy of Hypericum sampsonii, which should warrant further clinical trials and applications.

This pilot study first aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this twenty-day auricular acupressure using Semen Vaccariae (Wang Bu Liu Xing) in improving the sleeping conditions of primary insomnia patients. The secondary aim was to evaluate the improvement of some other self-reported symptoms caused by insomnia. A clinical prospective pre–post study was designed, enrolling 60 primary insomnia patients. Each patient was administered the auricular acupressure on five acupoints of NADA protocol of both ears by applying the Vaccariae seeds and was instructed to gently press 1 minute/acupoint each time, four times a day for twenty consecutive days. After 20 days, the mean total sleep time increased significantly from 3.8 ± 1.0 to 5.4 ± 1.0 (hours) (p<0.05). The mean ISI score decreased from 19.3 ± 5.4 at D0 to 9.5 ± 4.7 (points). The sleep efficiency increased significantly from 52.7 ± 13.9 to 80.7 ± 10.0 (%) (p<0.05). The number of patients suffering from self-reported insomnia-related symptoms (including fatigue, decreased concentration, anxiety, decreased memory, dizziness) decreased significantly compared to those at baseline (p<0.05). Auricular acupressure using Semen Vaccariae ear seeds followed the NADA protocol showed both safety and potential efficacy in improving sleep quality and other insomnia-related symptoms.
