CONJUNTURA HISTÓRICO-JURÍDICA DA MIGRAÇÃO INTERNACIONAL EM PAÍSES EM DESENVOLVIMENTO
Authors: Almeida Valquiria , Correa Marina Aparecida Pimenta da Cruz
Published: May 2023

O artigo objetiva examinar como os fluxos migratórios se interligam aos processos econômicos e sociais dos países em desenvolvimento desde os anos 1970, e como as normativas jurídicas internacionais se acomodam à tais transformações, especialmente no caso brasileiro. Para tanto, considera alguns momentos do percurso da humanidade que se tornaram um marco ou impactaram marcadamente os fluxos migratórios internacionais e expõem dados atuais acerca do mencionado fenômeno. Observou-se que os movimentos populacionais tiveram um papel preponderante, sobretudo em questões ligadas à industrialização e ao desenvolvimento do capitalismo de mercado e que até os dias de hoje, os desequilíbrios econômicos regionais são os principais fatores que impulsionam os fluxos migratórios globalmente. Em comparação aos países mais desenvolvidos, muitas das diferenças sociais e econômicas entre estes e aqueles da América Latina podem ser explicadas pelo processo de industrialização que, no caso latino-americano, foi de uma “superurbanização” acelerada.
EFEITOS DA LEGISLAÇÃO EMERGENCIAL TRABALHISTA BRASILEIRA ADOTADA NO PERÍODO DA PANDEMIA DE COVID-19
Authors: Beltramelli Neto Silvio , Cará Bárbara Gabriela de Souza Gomide
Published: May 2023

Comunicam-se os resultados de uma investigação de cunho exploratório que pretendeu enfrentar ao seguinte problema de pesquisa: qual o nível de impacto da legislação emergencial trabalhista adotada no Brasil, por ocasião da pandemia de Covid-19, e o que o cenário posterior à vigência dessa legislação evidencia em matéria de promoção do Trabalho Decente, segundo as diretrizes da OIT? Empregaram-se os métodos bibliográfico-documental e estatístico, a partir dos quais se realizou uma análise de índole eminentemente dedutiva. Foram coletados dados oficiais do mercado de trabalho brasileiro alusivos aos últimos trimestres dos anos de 2019, 2020 e 2021, coletados por meio da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios Contínua (PNAD-C). Deu-se preferência para os dados respeitantes à ocupação, desocupação, subutilização da força de trabalho e rendimentos médios auferidos pela população trabalhadora. Conclui-se que não foram as balizas da promoção do Trabalho Decente que permearam a legislação emergencial analisada em sua concepção, tampouco se refletiram no comportamento do mercado de trabalho, no período examinado, sendo certo que as evidências denotam que tal legislação não adotada a partir do diálogo social não foi capaz de, em larga escala, prevenir a perda de postos de trabalho, assim como seus pressupostos mantiveram tendências de precarização de postos de trabalho anteriores à pandemia, de estabilização em altos níveis da desocupação e da subutilização da força de trabalho e de alguns aspectos discriminatórios do mercado de trabalho brasileiro, sobretudo relacionados a gênero e raça.

Published: May 2023

This study's goal was to contrast the results of of various vocabulary teaching methods, such as using context, dictionary definitions, and synonyms to teach vocabulary, on both transient and persistent vocabulary memory. Three groups of 90 intermediate EFL students were chosen at random and divided into: context, definition, and synonyms (thirty learners in each group). They received instruction in 30 vocabulary words over the course of two sessions. Two post-tests were administered, the first four weeks after the lesson and the second eight weeks later, to gauge student retention of vocabulary words. One-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the results. When compared to the other two approaches, the context method outperformed them in both postponed tests, according to the data. The study's conclusions have pedagogical ramifications for EFL instructors, students, syllabus designers, content creators, and language test creators. The study's findings also offer useful details on the best method for teaching vocabulary that results in longer-lasting retention of L2 terms.

Nanopartikül içeren çalışmalardaki tutarsız sonuçların oluşumunda nanomalzemelerin nasıl tanımlanacağı konusunda süregelen belirsizliklere ek olarak başta örnek hazırlama ve fizikokimyasal karakterizasyon olmak üzere nano-yapılı sistemlerin analizlerine ilişkin stratejilerin farklı nanopartiküller için spesifik olarak bilinmemesi ve uygulanmaması gibi etmenler rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmada dental uygulamalarda sıklıkla kullanılan kalsiyum fostat yapılı seramik nanotozların fizikokimyasal karakterizasyonuna ilişkin teknik hususların tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu nanopartiküller Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobu (SEM), Dinamik Işık Saçılımı (DLS), Brunauer, Emmet ve Teller (BET), X-Işınları Kırınımı (XRD) ve Termogravimetrik Analiz ve Differansiyel Termal Analiz (TGA/DTA) teknikleri yardımıyla detaylı olarak karakterize edilmiştir. SEM ve DLS boyut analizleri incelendiğinde nanopartiküllerin homojen olmayan bir boyut dağılımına sahip olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. BET yüzey analizi daha küçük parçacık boyutuna sahip nanopartiküllerin daha yüksek yüzey alanına sahip olduğunu doğrulamıştır. Zeta potansiyel ölçümleri nanopartiküllerin nötr pH’da negatif potansiyele sahip olduğunu (< -16 mV) ancak bu değerin partiküllerin stabil olarak kabul edildiği -30 mV’den az olması dolayısıyla dağılımlarının kararlı olmadığını ortaya koymuştur. TGA analizi yapılarak nanopartiküllerin 900 C’ye kadar dayanıklı olduğu gözlenmiştir. Elde edilen XRD pikleri nanopartiküllere ait karakteristik piklerdir ve literatür ile uyumludur. Ölçülen BET yüzey alanı değerleri tedarikçi tarafından sağlanan değerlerden 2─3 kat daha fazladır. Tüm bu ölçümler nanopartiküllerin karakteristik özelliklerinin belirlenmesinde tedarikçinin verilerine bağlı kalınmamasının ve detaylı karakterizasyon yöntemlerine başvurulmasının gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur.

Published: May 2023

The shear strength of the soil is a crucial factor in the structure's failure. Before any engineering structure is built on the soil, the shear strength characteristics must be thoroughly examined in order to reduce the calamity of structural collapse. The current study investigates the influence of varied percentages of fine material on soil shear strength. The soil sample consists primarily of sandy and clay soil. The study looked into the impact of fines on shear strength metrics (friction angle and soil cohesion). Several journal papers and articles were reviewed for this study. Based on the findings of several papers, the flow chart was created to describe the effect of the percentage of fine content in the soil and how it affects shear strength parameters. The shear strength parameters of sandy soil are significantly dependent on the percentage of fines in the mixture and the type of fine mineralogical composition. Both soil shear strength parameters increase at a substantial and apparent pace as compared to the particle content and additive increases in clay soil.

Study Design: Examination using three-dimensional screw trajectory software and computed tomographic scans.Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of a novel trajectory for C7 laminar screws and to compare it with an old trajectory.Overview of Literature: The previously reported trajectory of C7 laminar screws has a horizontal direction without a fixed target point. Our new trajectory has a cephalad direction with a fixed target point.Methods: Computed tomographic scans of a total of 50 male and 50 female patients were utilized. The placement of C7 laminar screws was activated employing the new and old trajectories. The success rate, the causes of failure, and the maximum allowable length of each trajectory were compared.Results: Employing the new trajectory, the success rates of the unilaminar and bilaminar screws were 93% and 83%, respectively, which were significantly better than the old trajectory (80%, p<0.0001 and 70%, p=0.0003). The most prevalent cause of failure was laminar cortical breach followed by facet joint violation. The new trajectory also offered significantly longer maximum allowable screw length in unilaminar (32.5±4.3 mm vs. 26.5±2.6 mm, p<0.001), bilaminar cephalic (29.5±3.8 mm vs. 25.9±2.6 mm, p<0.0001) and bilaminar caudal (33.1±2.6 mm vs. 25.8±3.1 mm, p<0.001) screws than the old trajectory. With the new and old trajectories, 70% vs. 6% of unilaminar, 60% vs. 2% of bilaminar caudal, and 32% vs. 4% of bilaminar cephalic screws could be protracted perfectly into the corresponding lateral mass without any laminar cortical or facet joint violation (p<0.0001).Conclusions: The novel trajectory possesses a substantially higher success rate, longer maximum allowable screw length, and higher chance to be extended into the lateral mass (a condition known as a lamino-lateral mass screw) than the old trajectory.
Między teorią a praktyką. Paradygmat kobiety przestępczyni na przestrzeni czasu w świetle teoretycznych ustaleń i badań własnych
Authors: Zielonka Maria
Published: May 2023

Celem artykułu jest zweryfikowanie wiedzy o tym, w jaki sposób polskie społeczeństwo postrzega przestępczość kobiet i je same na podstawie publikacji znawców tematu z XIX i XX w., ustaleń badaczy najnowszych i wyników własnych badań. Główną hipotezą badawczą było stwierdzenie, że społeczeństwo przejawia negatywne, bazujące na stereotypach postawy społeczne wobec przestępczości kobiet i kobiet jako przestępczyń. Dlatego też odniesiono się najpierw do teorii kryminologicznych, charakteryzujących profil kobiety. Ponadto zanalizowano przyczyny, które motywują kobiety do popełnienia danego przestępstwa, a także kwestię trudnej sytuacji odnalezienia się w ich społeczeństwie po opuszczeniu murów więzienia. W ostatniej części artykułu opisowi i analizie zostały poddane badania własne, przeprowadzone za pomocą kwestionariusza ankiety, które potwierdziły, że wybranie drogi przestępczej przez kobietę wiąże się z przykrymi dla niej konsekwencjami, takimi jak m.in. stygmatyzacja.
Absence, Presence, and Mobility
Authors: Tuvikene Tauri
Published: May 2023

This article works at the intersection of mobilities and landscape studies. It shows absence-presence as a principal means by which mobilities are related to landscape, thus enabling the concept of landscape to be elaborated with regard to the politics of community, the ways in which embodied practices manifest themselves and create place, and the intertwinement of the cultural and the natural. To elaborate the conceptual argument, the article presents the case study of a planned but never fully realized high-speed tramline running through a residential area of Tallinn, Estonia. To explore the multiple absences of what was planned and the presence of imagined and a few realized landscape elements, the article makes use of artistic works, such as a skiing performance of infrastructure re-creation (Invisible Tramline).

Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Intracranial dural metastasis causing subdural hematoma formation is a rare clinical entity associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A 61-year-old female patient known to have rectal signet ring cell carcinoma presented with cranial computed tomography scan findings of bilateral subdural hematoma. She underwent evacuation of the hematoma with dural biopsy, which showed tumor emboli consistent with colorectal origin. There was an early recurrence of the subdural collection, and an emergency subdural-peritoneal shunt insertion was done; however, there was no sustained clinical improvement. This work reports the first case of rectal dural metastasis presenting as chronic subdural hematoma and discusses the clinical course and current literature.

OBSERVATIONS

The cases described in these studies are consistent with the clinical course of our patient; that is, evacuation of the subdural hematoma provided temporary clinical improvement and re-accumulation occurred within 3 days.

LESSONS

The authors recommend maintaining a high index of suspicion in this select group of patients, including prompt discussion about treatment plans with the patient’s family.
