Random number generators based on permutations can pass the collision test
Authors: Ourivski Alexei Victorovich
Published: April 2021

Изучаются генераторы псевдослучайных чисел, основанные на случайных перестановках; их можно рассматривать как модели блочных шифров со случайно выбираемыми ключами. Разработан простой метод вычисления верхних и нижних границ вероятности коллизии в выходной последовательности конечной длины на основе границ условной вероятности появления очередного символа на выходе генератора при известном префиксе. Установлено, что разность между верхней и нижней границами вероятности коллизии для практически интересных длин выхода может быть сделана исчезающе малой. Между этими границами находится и вероятность коллизии для идеального генератора случайных чисел. Это означает, что исследуемые генераторы пройдут тест на коллизии, т. е. этим тестом их нельзя отличить от идеального генератора.

Published: April 2021

Insect-vectored viruses are a major threat to grapevine production but there is a dearth of information on the occurrence and distribution of key grapevine pests in Nigeria. The recent detection of grapevine leafroll associated virus-1 (GLRaV-1), a known insect-vectored ampelovirus, in Nigeria elevates the importance of the identification of its potential vectors as a precursor to assessing the risk of grapevine leafroll disease spread. This study was conducted to determine the occurrence and diversity of potential vectors of grapevine viruses and their natural enemies in vineyards across the savannah agro-ecological region of Nigeria. Forty vineyard and nursery locations were surveyed during 2016 and 45 arthropod samples were collected. The samples were first morphologically identified, and DNA barcoding was conducted on a subset of 16 representative samples using universal primers specific to the Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) gene of most insects. The results indicated the presence of two species of scale insects (Parasaissetia nigra and Saissetia coffeae) and two mealybug species (Maconellicoccus hirsutus and Ferrisia virgata), some ofwhich are potential grapevine virus vectors, in Nigerian vineyards. In addition, the natural enemies of these insect species were detected which includes three species of parasitoids (Anagyrus kamali, Anagyrus pseudococci and Encarsia inaron) and one predator (Hyperaspidius mimus). While the detection of mealybugs and scale insects underscore the risk of vector-mediated virus spread in Nigerian vineyards, the identification of their natural enemies indicates presence of natural biological control agents to facilitate an integrated management of economically important grapevine virus diseases in the country.

Keywords: Mealybugs; scale insects; parasitoids and predators; insect vectors; grapevine viruses.

El fraude fiscal en España: Un estudio empírico sobre sus posibles causas mediante Modelos de Análisis Multinivel
Authors: Teijón Marco
Published: April 2021

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es evaluar las causas (tentativas) individuales y contextuales que explicarían el incumplimiento por parte de los contribuyentes de su obligación de presentar la declaración de la renta. Para ello, recurrimos a dos marcos teóricos diferenciados, el de las teorías de la elección racional y el de las teorías de la frustración. Los datos utilizados proceden de una encuesta del CIS de ámbito nacional sobre opinión pública y política fiscal con una muestra representativa de personas mayores de edad residentes en España (n = 2.464). Una serie de tablas de contingencia y Modelos de Regresión Multinivel informan que ciertas condiciones adversas y un bajo nivel de estudios predicen el incumplimiento de la obligación de declarar. Se discuten los efectos de la clase social. Los resultados encontrados sugieren que las teorías de la frustración se revelan más prometedoras que las de la elección racional en la explicación de este tipo de fraude fiscal.
Телесность в стране Руставели: злоключения и путешествия грузинского тела между романтическим картвельским национализмом и потреблением массовой культуры
Authors: Kyrchanoff Maksym W.
Published: April 2021

Автор анализирует проблемы изменений представленности тела и метаморфозы телесности в грузинской идентичности. Грузинская идентичность определяется как культурный и интеллектуальный конструкт, вдохновленный и воображенный грузинскими интеллектуалами как часть процессов социальной и политической модернизации. Анализ социальных мутаций и культурных трансформаций визуализации и актуализации грузинского национального / этнического тела и телесности в дискурсе национализма является основой целью статьи. Методологически автор использует положения и идеи, предложенные в междисциплинарных исследованиях национализма. Национальное тело определяется и анализируется как одна из изобретенных традиций грузинского национализма в контекстах модернизации и трансформации интеллектуального дискурса от модерной культуры к массовой культуре общества потребления. Предполагается, что интеллектуалы использовали телесность для актуализации этнической и культурной грузинской идентичности, подчеркивая уникальность грузинской идентичности. Анализируются проблемы сочетания и сосуществования гражданского и этнического национализма в визуализации телесности. Автор изучает, как грузинское «тело» стало политическим фактором, формой визуализации этничности и принципов политического национализма, включая концепты гражданства и лояльности, а также нации как воображаемого политического сообщества граждан с устойчивыми этническими основаниями.

By exploring and developing the positive side of the individual will lead someone tohave true happiness. Human life will be meaningful if the positive side of humans can be maximally developed. Byapplying positive psychology, it is expected that lecturers can carry out guidance and counseling for the development ofstudent personalities. Personality developments needed are intrapersonal, interpersonal, problem solving, learning andprofessional skills. The Daily Journal of Gratitude is an activity that can be applied to motivate the growth of gratefulhabit which is an aspect of positive psychology. Gratitude as a cognitive construction is shown by acknowledging mercyand kindness for the blessings that have been received by a person and focusing on the positive things. The connectionwith personality development is the ability of students to develop intrapersonal skills. As an emotional construction,gratitude is characterized by the ability to change the emotional response to a thing happened so that it becomes moremeaningful. This is related to the development of students when facing other people or the ability to developinterpersonal skills. Gratitude emotions involve feelings of amazement, gratitude, appreciation and happiness for theblessings and the life to be lived. Gratitude as a construction of behavior is kind of respond in return to others for thebenefits and gifts received . Personality development in the construction of behavior is related to learning skills,problem solving skills and professional skills. By applying the Daily Journal of Gratitude it is hoped that students canbe guided and counseled to become individuals who are able to develop optimally in their lives on campus up to thegraduation day, so that they can have the skills to interact in a complex and diverse multigeneration environment.

Authors: Tehseem Tazanfal , Faiz Rabia , Azher Musarrat , Bokhari Zahra
Published: April 2021

The present study aims at explicating the theme of love in the folk tale Heer Ranjha through the discourse stylistics perspective. To do this, Fairclough (2015) model is employed with a focus on lexical choices. The metaphors used in the dialogues portraying the theme of love have been carefully selected, and further the linguistic pattern employed has been significantly discussed to highlight the embedded theme of love as a dominant human emotion in folk tales. The study also aims at providing a richer, more complex and enlightened canvas of feminist theory highlighting the role of women and power relations between the two sexes. The data comprises on twenty passages from the translation of ‘Heer Ranjha’ by Usborne (1973) where the translator claims to have translated the epilogue at full length while the rest of the poem has been condensed without omitting anything significantly important to the theme. The study throws light on the language of the folk tale, which reflects socio-cultural features such as the patriarchic family structure of the time through the language choices. The flute, a bamboo musical instrument, is a metaphor of love in a dream-like romantic sound. Finally, this paper helps to develop a better understanding of folktales in a particular socio-cultural background.

Published: April 2021

Nigeria and Nigerians have witnessed different kinds of electoral frauds since the return to democracy in 1999. Counting from the 1999 general election in Nigeria, the 2019 general election is the 6th general elections conducted in the country. Unfortunately, none of these elections have been considered to be free and fair as there are always public outcries from one end to another against the results of the elections as a result of lack of transparency in the process. Drawing from this background, this study, examines whether heavy use of WhatsApp platforms by different political parties in the election encouraged popular participation and effective monitoring of the electoral processes. The study which examined a total of 318 respondents sampled from select WhatsApp groups of the two leading political parties adopted the survey research method with the social media engagement and technological acceptance theories as its theoretical framework to ascertain whether the use of WhatsApp platforms by political parties encouraged popular participation among the electorate and determine if WhatsApp platforms were helpful to parties in monitoring the 2019 general election as well as its processes. Findings revealed that WhatsApp use encouraged popular participation and electoral process monitoring. The researchers recommended that the political parties and the electoral umpire should engage more in the use of social media platforms in passing information during, on and after election to encourage transparency in leadership.

Authors: Al-Jewari Khalid , Baban Rayah , Manuti Jawad
Published: April 2021

Background: Chronic kidney disease is an epidemic global health problem that leads to death. To prevent any disease progression and treatment, the diagnosis must be made in the early stage by studying renal damage. Klotho is a protein found in many organs of the human body, but it is mainly abundant in the kidney.
Objectives: This study is aimed to evaluate klotho’s clinical significance as an additional biomarker for diagnosing chronic kidney disease in its early stages.
Methods: One hundred subjects were included in this study to measure their serum and urinary klotho. Forty patients with chronic kidney disease (pre-dialysis) and sixty normal subjects were enrolled in this study. Serum and urinary klotho were determined using the ELISA technique in addition to other renal function tests.
Results: Serum and urinary alpha klotho were decreased in CKD patients when compared with control subjects. A positive correlation was found between serum creatinine and urinary alpha klotho in the patients’ group.
Conclusion: Serum and urinary alpha klotho levels were decreased significantly in patients with chronic kidney disease compared with healthy controls.

Published: April 2021

A number of endemic communicable diseases present a serious public health hazard in India. India is going through a period of transition, both epidemiological and demographic transition. The expectancy of life has increased, with consequent rise in degenerative diseases of aging and life-styles. Nevertheless, communicable diseases are still dominant and constitute major public health issues. Due to low socio economical standard, poor hygienic conditions and population explosion, communicable diseases have become a serious threat to the society in our developing country. Rasayana therapy is particularly helpful in management of such a disorder where immunity and infections are playing central role. As per Ayurvedic principles immunity of a person can be enhanced by use of proper diet and lifestyle along with a proper use of Rasayana. Rasayana is actually that which increases the essence of each Dhatu starting from Rasa. Taking Rasayana is helpful to increase the immunity of person to keep him away from communicable diseases. They are of two types Urjaskara (enhance the general immunity) and Roganuta (used in specific disease conditions). There are many Rasayanas used to improve the immunity and cure diseases like Shilajatu Rasayana for Prameha, Lauha in Pandu, Amalaki, Haridra, Chyavanprash etc.
A review on Sandhigatavata and its Management Principles
Authors: Gandagi Nagesh , Patil Shubhangi
Published: April 2021

In the Ayurvedic classics the aetiopathogenesis and symptomatology of Sandhigata vata is described in concise form. Clinically the description of Sandhigata vata explained in the classical texts is similar to the condition osteoarthritis in modern science. Sandhigatavata is described under Vatavyadhi in all the Samhitas and Sangraha Granthas. In Vriddhavastha, all Dhatus undergo Kshaya, Thus leading to Vataprakopa and making individual prone to many diseases. Among them Sandhigatavata standsÂ  top in the list. Having the symptoms like pain, swelling, crepitus, and restricted joint movements. Ayurveda highlighted degenerative diseases under the concepts like â€œDhatu saithilyamâ€ and â€œDhatu kshayamâ€. Sandhigata Vata is one of such disease, which needs a specific target of therapeutic intervention to check or slow down the process of â€œDhatu kshayaâ€ and to pacify Vata. Sandhigatavata may be correlated with degenerative joint disease or Osteoarthritis, which in turn cripples the patient to the maximum, extends and reduces the total working capacity of the person. It limits everyday activities such as walking, dressing, bathing etc., thus making individual handicapped

Published: April 2021

Can we map university-wide graduate attributes to specific program requirements? Can we develop and manage an integrated assessment process? In this article, we present a seven-month long project where we attempted to map generic university graduate attributes (UGAs) to required engineering program graduate attributes in a large Canadian research institution. The purpose of the project was to explore the intersection of the UGAs with engineering graduate attributes, evaluate the accreditation process, develop a mapping process, and examine management strategies for assessing both sets of graduate attributes, all the while keeping the continual improvement process attractive to students, instructors, and administrators. Using a modified dialectical inquiry, two groups worked on the mapping process: one from engineering, the other from social sciences (Education and Arts), to ensure objectivity of comparison. Both forward and backward mapping took place. Results demonstrated that, although generic, UGAs may not necessarily capture specific professional program graduate attributes. The study also highlighted the need for more revisions and updates of UGAs by including various stakeholders who can substantially contribute to the implementation and assessment of UGAs.

Published: April 2021

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease caused by a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene that affects multisystems in the body, particularly the lungs and digestive system. We report a case of an Omani newborn who presented with meconium ileus and high suspicion of CF. Thus, full CFTR gene sequencing was performed, which revealed a homozygous unreported C.4242+1G>C novel gene mutation. Both parents were found to be heterozygous for this mutation. This case sheds light on the importance of the extensive genetic testing of typical CF cases in the absence of family history or during neonatal presentations, especially when the sweat test cannot be performed and the diagnosis can be challenging.

Trata-se de reflexão necessária sobre os direitos das pessoas autistas na busca de inclusão social, apresentando a legislação aplicável e sugerindo acréscimos. O estudo foi feito por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica onde serão abordadas as dificuldades de implementação das leis e estatutos já existentes, principalmente na aceitação das características das pessoas com deficiência e autistas, principalmente diante de suas estereotipias. Demonstraremos o que é o transtorno do espectro autista e a necessidade de melhor compreensão para posterior aceitação e inclusão, na busca de uma posição digna como seres humanos, numa sociedade moderna e universalista. Por fim, chegamos a um entendimento que a existência de políticas públicas sobre o assunto é a chave para se alcançar essa dignidade.
Paternalismo libertário e políticas públicas: intervenção e transparência
Authors: Pereira Ribeiro Marcia Carla , Domingues Victor Hugo
Published: April 2021

O objetivo do artigo é apresentar o conjunto de pressupostos do Paternalismo Libertário, discute suas limitações e avalia a sua condição de marco teórico no âmbito das políticas públicas comportamentais. O método dedutivo descritivo foi aplicado a partir das primeiras ideias de Paternalismo Clássico, para formar a conclusão sobre sua aplicação geral no contexto das políticas públicas. Passo seguinte, foram apresentadas as justificativas para tornar o paternalismo libertário um discurso prioritariamente governamental. Na busca pelos resultados pretendidos, foi imprescindível recorrer à desconstrução do primado da racionalidade econômica, ou seja, admitir o pressuposto de que as preferências individuais nem sempre conduzem as pessoas à melhoria das próprias condições de bem-estar material. Em conclusão, apesar de legítima a adoção do Paternalismo Libertário na fundamentação de políticas públicas que buscam a melhoria do bem-estar social, alguns obstáculos ainda precisam ser superados, como a definição de limites ao planejador central para intervenção no domínio da autonomia privada. Espera-se que o presente trabalho possa auxiliar no debate científico nacional sobre a temática, especialmente por reunir a um mesmo propósito três ciências humanas de fundamental importância relativamente à busca pelo bem-estar individual e social, o Direito, a Economia e a Psicologia.

Análise permitiu caracterização da produção cientifica afim e desenvolvimento de três categorias analíticas: Caracterização da produção científica acerca do fenômeno do refúgio frente aos direitos humanos; Acepções de refugiado expressas no sistema jurídico brasileiro e nos documentos internacionais refletidas na literatura corrente; e Políticas públicas brasileiras e refúgio: a necessidade de ouvir a voz dos refugiados. A síntese apreciativa do fenômeno do refúgio conduziu a compreensão da complexidade que envolve a situação, sua múltipla determinação e avanços no âmbito legal e normativo; com expressivos desafios na implantação e implementação de políticas públicas que respondam aos compromissos assumidos.
A insuficiência de tributação como fundamento para o afastamento da reserva do possível na garantia do mínimo existencial e da dignidade humana
Authors: Gabardo Emerson , Wasilewski Dione J.
Published: April 2021

O artigo objetiva discutir a invocação da reserva do possível para o Estado se eximir de obrigações relativas ao mínimo existencial e à dignidade humana em situações em que não exerce todo o poder tributário. Adota o método teórico-descritivo, com abordagem dedutiva das proposições, análise de doutrina e tratativa suplementar com dados concretos selecionados. Afirma que o princípio da solidariedade social impõe o equilíbrio entre o dever de prestar e o direito de cobrar como um condicionante para a legitimidade da atuação estatal. Descreve o mínimo existencial e a dignidade humana e defende que suas prestações constituem direitos que integram as expectativas legítimas dos cidadãos em face do Estado. Adota como hipótese que a “cláusula da reserva do possível” ou mesmo o “déficit orçamentário” não podem ser utilizados indiscriminadamente pelo Estado como argumento para o Poder Público se escusar de implementar obrigações inerentes a direitos fundamentais. Ademais, propõe que a insuficiência da tributação, definida como o não exercício do poder tributário em sua máxima extensão, é uma das causas do déficit orçamentário. Conclui ser inconstitucional a negativa de prestações referentes ao mínimo existencial ou que integram a dignidade humana, desde que constatada a insuficiência da tributação. Por consequência, em ocorrendo esta situação, torna-se desautorizada a invocação da cláusula da reserva do possível. Apresenta uma abordagem original ao vincular a reserva do possível ao binômio prestação mínima/tributação máxima, ampliando o debate pela inclusão de ponderações quanto a renúncias tributárias ilegítimas frente às demandas que deixam de ser atendidas pelo Estado.
Compliance em tempos de calamidade pública: análise sobre a flexibilização da transparência de dados e informações durante o enfrentamento da COVID-19 no Brasil

A conformidade é de suma importância nas relações jurídicas da administração pública, que está adstrita ao princípio da legalidade, previsto na Constituição Federal do Brasil de 1988. Contudo, situações emergenciais permitem a mitigação dos efeitos de determinadas normas e procedimentos, que possam dificultar as ações de enfrentamento à crise. O presente artigo busca, através de pesquisa bibliográfica e estudo documental, analisar os impactos da decretação de calamidade pública no país, em razão da pandemia decorrente da doença causada pelo novo coronavírus (COVID-19), avaliando as consequências de possível flexibilização de procedimentos e regras, extremamente necessárias ao controle da gestão pública, como no caso das normas que tratam da transparência e do acesso à informação. Compreende-se que, para a manutenção de direitos e garantias fundamentais, bem como da transparência dos atos da gestão pública, ao revés da flexibilização das normas de controle, as situações excepcionais demandam a sua ampliação, para que a sociedade e autoridades possam acompanhar, ainda melhor, as atividades públicas, em virtude do aumento dos riscos de desvios, fraude e corrupção. Nesse sentido, pondera-se sobre a pertinência e importância da aplicação de programas de integridade na administração pública direta, que permitam a manutenção dos controles, de forma sistemática, mesmo em situações excepcionais. O presente trabalho se justifica pela necessidade de aprofundamento dos estudos relacionados à eficácia dos mecanismos de controle da gestão pública brasileira, bem como pela grande repercussão e interesse do tema no atual contexto de crise epidemiológica.
Accountability e desenho institucional: um ponto cego no Direito Público brasileiro
Authors: Hanna Rached Danielle
Published: April 2021

O objetivo do presente artigo é propor uma base mais sólida ao conceito de accountability, que seja mais adequada para disciplinar seu uso, especialmente por parte da literatura jurídica, o que pode ser alcançado, metodologicamente, a partir da mobilização de um conceito minimalista para a abordagem, tanto normativa quanto empírica, deste fenômeno. Clareza conceitual é fator indispensável para esclarecer termos genéricos e multifacetados como accountability.
O controle e a avaliação pelo Tribunal de Contas da União das políticas públicas implementadas por desonerações tributárias no Brasil
Authors: Garcia Vinicius , Leonetti Carlos Araújo
Published: April 2021

O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o uso de desonerações tributárias como veículo de políticas públicas no Brasil. A questão que se propõe responder é se esse tipo de política pública (indireta) se mostra adequado ao alcance dos objetivos estatais estabelecidos e ao paradigma vigente de controle, efetividade e transparência do exercício do poder estatal. A estratégia traçada para este desafio é levantar e avaliar as auditorias e decisões proferidas pelo Tribunal de Contas da União - TCU nesta área. No primeiro capítulo, trata-se das desonerações tributárias em geral, do seu conceito e das dificuldades de mensuração. Na segunda parte, descreve-se os limites legais e constitucionais para o uso deste instrumento de política fiscal. Ao final, debruça-se sobre a atuação do TCU sobre o tema no período posterior à Constituição Federal de 1988. Ao final foi possível perceber diversos problemas: (a) generalização de desonerações tributárias desvinculadas de políticas públicas formalmente estabelecidas (com objetivos, indicadores e metas), o que impede a avaliação da efetividade da escolha pública; (b) desrespeito sistemático das normas legais e constitucionais que impõem limites ao uso deste instrumento de política fiscal. Essa constatação torna forçosa a conclusão de que as políticas públicas veiculadas por meio de desonerações tributárias no Brasil não são eficientes e não se submetem a qualquer controle formal, o que torna sempre questionável essa opção política em detrimento de políticas públicas diretas.
Estratégias regulatórias de combate à corrupção
Authors: Jordão Eduardo Ferreira , Penner Luiz Carlos
Published: April 2021

O artigo tem por objetivos (i) classificar as estratégias anticorrupção dentro da taxonomia já proposta pela literatura para as estratégias regulatórias e (ii) apontar as aplicações e as vantagens genéricas e específicas de cada uma das estratégias identificadas. Para tanto, é feita uma pesquisa descritiva, que busca analisar e mapear as estratégias de combate à corrução adotadas nos contextos brasileiro e internacional, agrupando-as em quatro categorias: comando e controle, transparência, incentivos e instituições. Entre as conclusões tiradas do estudo realizado, verifica-se que, se por um lado o investimento concentrado em uma só estratégia não solucionará problemas ligados ao combate à corrupção, por outro, a combinação de estratégias também pode gerar custos e riscos como os derivados da descoordenação regulatória. Ademais, percebe-se que há uma tendência de sofisticação e de custos crescentes para lidar com os problemas ligados à corrupção, o que, embora possa aumentar a efetividade das medidas, também traz dificuldades à medida que as estratégias se distanciam da simplicidade. O trabalho se justifica porque o mapeamento e a classificação realizados permitem entender as naturezas das estratégias existentes e suas vantagens e desvantagens quando aplicadas a diferentes contextos, o que viabilizará uma futura uma análise compreensiva e exaustiva sobre a qualidade das iniciativas anticorrupção propostas no Brasil. Além disso, embora existam diversos trabalhos publicados com revisões de literatura e de leis anticorrupção, não havia, na literatura nacional, análise abrangente que sistematizasse essas estratégias de forma a compatibilizá-las com a literatura que trata da teoria da regulação.
Grupos vulnerables de especial protección por parte del instituto nacional de derechos humanos (INDH) ¿En quién podría y debería enfocarse en base a la doctrina y a la experiencia comparada iberoamericana?
Authors: Díaz Fuenzalida Juan Pablo
Published: April 2021

El presente trabajo estudia al Instituto Nacional de Derechos Humanos (INDH) de Chile en su actividad de promoción y protección de los derechos humanos, concretamente en la coherencia de enfocarse en determinados grupos vulnerables. Para ello se revisa cada una de las colectividades en las que se ha encauzado en relación con la literatura especializada. Asimismo, se analiza la experiencia de las instituciones nacionales de derechos humanos, como lo son las defensorías del pueblo en Iberoamérica para así reflexionar sobre qué otros grupos podría orientarse. La metodología va de lo general a lo particular, se tiene en cuenta en su desarrollo doctrina sobre la materia analizada y material experiencial, tanto del INDH como de las defensorías iberoamericanas. Destaca como conclusión que los grupos de especial protección que promociona y protege el INDH son coherentes con la doctrina y experiencia de las otras defensorías, pero que, sin embargo, habría que considerar otras colectividades. Así lo han hecho otras naciones y es necesario que el INDH genere nuevos enfoques de acuerdo con la realidad país de Chile.
