FIXAÇÃO DA PRESTAÇÃO PECUNIÁRIA EM CRIMES AMBIENTAIS PARA PESSOAS FÍSICAS
Authors: Grobe Bianca Karine
Published: September 2022

RESUMO: O Brasil tem uma legislação ambiental relativamente abrangente, fruto da Constituição Federal de 1988 e dos tratados internacionais dos quais se tornou signatário ao longo do tempo. A Lei nº 9.605/1998 prevê quais condutas são consideradas crimes ambientais e, antes disso, dispõe as sanções aplicáveis, estabelecendo parâmetros para a fixação das penas de acordo com o caso analisado. Contudo, tais balizadores são consideravelmente abrangentes, possibilitando uma margem de interpretação significativa. O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar os critérios utilizados nas condenações a pena de prestação pecuniária, verificando quais as motivações para fixação dos valores em casos concretos quando ocorre a substituição da sanção. A metodologia utilizada é qualitativa, através de pesquisa bibliográfica e análise teórica. Conclui-se que a legislação ambiental fixou uma medida muito ampla para a aplicação da pena de prestação pecuniária, fazendo com que o judiciário, conforme o caso concreto, decida qual o valor adequado, o que muitas vezes não reflete o caráter pedagógico e punitivo da sanção.
Palavras-chave: Crime ambiental. Prestação pecuniária. Legislação ambiental.
ABSTRACT: Brazil has a relatively comprehensive environmental legislation, as a result of the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the international treaties to which it became a signatory over time. Law No. 9,605/1998 provides for which conducts are considered environmental crimes and, before that, sets out the applicable sanctions, establishing parameters for setting penalties according to the case analyzed. However, such benchmarks are considerably comprehensive, allowing a significant margin of interpretation. The present study aims to analyze the criteria used in convictions to the penalty of pecuniary benefit, verifying the motivations for setting the values ​​in specific cases when the replacement of the sanction occurs. The methodology used is qualitative, through bibliographic research and theoretical analysis. It is concluded that the environmental legislation has established a very broad measure for the application of the penalty of pecuniary benefit, making the judiciary, according to the specific case, decide what the appropriate value is, which often does not reflect the pedagogical and punitive character of the sanction.

La recuperación de cartera es una actividad con gran demanda, impulsada por la inclusión financiera, la transformación digital y la ciencia de datos. Las empresas de cobranza invierten en infraestructura y mano de obra para ser competitivas y rentables, en un mercado con notables cambios económicos y sociales.

El marketing tradicional utiliza variables duras para conocer la estructura, características y condicionantes de grupos o personas, la incorporación de variables blandas añade información solapada, mejorando el análisis.  En esta línea, según el análisis transaccional existen tres maneras diferentes desde, y hacia donde, nos relacionamos con el mundo: padre, adulto y niño.

Los comportamientos, pensamientos, sentimientos y emociones que se expresan en cada uno de estos estados, se denominan “estados del yo”. El uso de estas herramientas a nivel empresarial se ve favorecido por la evolución del neuromarketing y el desarrollo de técnicas computacionales para sintetizar los procesos cognitivos, denominados Inteligencia Artificial (IA).

Así, esta propuesta de investigación plantea responder si la identificación a priori de los estados del yo permite diferenciar los patrones de relacionamiento padre, adulto y niño, utilizando IA, y propone utilizar estas variables blandas para la segmentación de una cartera vencida.

Utilizando Python para Procesamiento de Lenguaje Natural (PNL) y regresión logística para aclarar las relaciones entre segmentación y comportamiento de pago, se obtuvo resultados que revelan las relaciones propuestas, y se aceptan en su amplia mayoría, además de proponer las bases para el diseño de estrategias eficaces en la gestión de cobranza moderna.

Investigation and development of an empirical model for transmission loss of acoustic windows in alleviating road traffic noise impact
Authors: Cheung Carmen Ka-man , Lai Jamie Chi-ting
Published: September 2022

An Acoustic Window is comprised of a horizontal sliding window at the inner layer, and a side-hung window, which can be pushed to open, on one side of the outer layer, and a fixed glazing on the other side. The glazing of the sliding inner window serves as a “baffle” for screening off the noise passing through the opened outer window when it is slid behind the opened outer window. This baffle-type acoustic window is proved to reduce up to 8 dB(A) road traffic noise and is gaining popularity in residential developments of Hong Kong, particularly for those located in difficult sites in close proximity to heavily trafficked roads. This paper presents the experimental results from a study looking into the acoustical transmission loss of Acoustic Windows with respect to changes in window configuration and setting of line sources. Based on the experimental results, empirical models for noise reduction of Acoustic Windows are developed and investigated to assist quick design of Acoustic Windows for planning residential developments.
Instream filtering system for the removal of suspended solids in King Yip Street Nullah, Kwun Tong
Authors: Sun Yuqing , Chen Liang , Chan Coleman K Y , Wan Antony N F , Tsang Daniel C W
Published: September 2022

The preliminary design of the project “Revitalization of Tsui Ping River” recommended a few water quality improvement measures aiming to enhance the aesthetic appearance and environmental conditions of the existing King Yip Street Nullah in Kwun Tong, including the use of a cost-effective instream filtering system to remove suspended solids (SS) in dry weather flows. However, the effectiveness as well as operational and maintenance experience of instream filtering systems in Hong Kong is not well established. Thus, we conducted a site trial to ascertain its effectiveness before full-scale implementation. The results showed that the sand trap screened a lot of sandy materials during the site trial period, especially during rainfall events. The instream filtering system with a gravel size of 80−120 mm effectively removed SS and total organic carbon from the water. We recommend that for the instream filtering system to be implemented in other nullahs in Hong Kong, larger dimensions (length of 4−9 m) with possible flow control (0.3−1.5 m3/h) measures could be considered when the site conditions (water depth of 1.1−1.5 m and water turbidity level below 500 NTU) allow. Overall, this study provided indispensable guidance to formulate the future design of filter sizing criteria based on targeted rainfall events and specific hydrological objectives.
Performance enhancement of PRNU-based source identification for smart video surveillance
Authors: Law Sai Chung , Law Ngai Fong
Published: September 2022

This paper introduces a current signal-based source verification (SSV) system for images in video surveillance networks including the cloud. Using a signal, the well-known photo-response non-uniformity (PRNU) can be used, which is unique and intrinsic in every digital image taken by a source camera, like fingerprints. The SSV system using PRNU has proved before to be useful for reliable video source identification in both network- and cloud-based video surveillance. However, in the era of smart living, security video systems have become part of the IoT devices which typically have limited resources such as low computation, power, storage and memory. To address these problems in the IoT applications, the effects of I-frames only and infra-red night scenes are studied as well as two proposed approaches for the SSV system. Then a hybrid version of the SSV scheme is further suggested, in combination with the best approach using averaged noise residues (for reduced false positive rate), and a recent technique using spatial domain averaged frames (for reduced computational complexity). The
enhanced performance of the improved SSV system for smart video surveillance has been verified through tests.

Legal regulation of relations on payment for administrative services
Authors: Tymoshchuk Viktor
Published: September 2022

Introduction. Relations on payment for administrative services need the attention of Ukrainian scholars, the government and lawmakers. Currently this area is not streamlined in Ukraine. Many administrative services are either unreasonably free or have meager fees. As a result, budgets of local self-government authorities, which provide the bulk of administrative services, do not receive necessary compensation payments.
Aim of the article. The aim of the article is to draw the attention of scholars and practitioners to the problematic issues of payment for administrative services. This is relevant because the appropriate funds are an important condition for ensuring the sustainable functioning of the system of administrative services, including centers on administrative services provision, digital infrastructure and so on. At the same time, there is a lack of scientifi c developments and coherent practical approaches to the legal regulation of the relations on payment for administrative services.
Results. The article compares taxes / taxation with administrative fees to clarify the nature of a
dministrative fees. This fee is primarily compensatory. As for services free of charge for consumers, appropriate calculations are needed to understand the amount of state compensation to local self-government authorities in the case of delegation of relevant powers. It is necessary to ensure in practice the adequacy of amounts of administrative fees, as well as the sustainability of the system and the timeliness of updating these amounts. In addition, it is necessary to eliminate the conditions that sometimes make it possible to collect dubious payments for administrative services in Ukraine. The article compares the relevant legislative initiatives that are being considered by the Parliament.
Conclusions. It is concluded that payments for administrative services are primarily compensatory in nature for consideration and resolution of certain case. The amount of the fee should not exceed the cost of providing administrative services, as authorities are already supported by taxes. The compensatory function of an administrative fee plays an important role in ensuring the sustainability of the system.
For Ukraine, the experience of such countries as Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany in the legislative regulation of administrative fees is relevant, with the defi nition of specifi c amounts of administrative fees directly in one Law «On Administrative Fees». Therefore, we consider the draft law 4380 worthy of support.
Finally, this issue for the future should be studied even more deeply by scholarsadministrators and specialists in fi nancial law.
Key words: administrative services, payment for administrative services, administrative fee

Published: September 2022

Most of the roads constructed in Ethiopia fail prematurely before serving the design life due to various causes arising from many factors. One of the roads that failed before reaching its design lifetime is the Bako to Nekemte Trunk Road. This road was constructed and opened to traffic in 2013. The design pavement life was estimated at 20 years. However; pavement failures have manifested since 2014 after it was opened for traffic. The main objective of this research was to investigate the cause for the failure of flexible pavement on the Bako to Nekemte road segment. To achieve this objective, the study was followed by the experimental research type and purposive sampling method. Also, field observation and pavement condition survey methods for data collection were used. The asphalt, base course, subgrade, and sub-base layer material sampled from the road segment are the material used for this study. Different pavement failures such as rutting, pothole, alligator cracking, raveling, edge cracking, depression, and corrugation were observed along the road section. For estimations of pavement condition index, the road was divided into five different sections based on distress densities, which were measured during the pavement condition survey. From those five sections, four sections were selected for the determination of the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). Using systematic random sampling 159 sample units were evaluated for Pavement Condition Rating (PCR) and the result shows 1.89% excellent, 8.18% very good, 20.13% good, 31.45% fair, 18.87 % poor, 18.24% very poor, and 1.26% failed. Based on PCI value, samples of pavement layer were taken from failed surface condition (1), poor surface condition (2), and none distressed area (1) for comparison purposes. Different quality tests like Atterberg limit, wash gradation, soil classification, compaction test, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), Los Angeles Abrasion (LAA), Flakiness Index ( FI), Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV), Ten percent fines value (TFV), bitumen content, and gradation of asphalt were carried out. The results of these tests were compared with ERA specifications to identify the probable cause of pavement failure. The study found that the cause for failure of flexible pavement in the case of Bako to Nekemte was: insufficient and absence of side drainage structure, traffic loading, poor gradation of base course and sub-base material, and poor quality of subgrade soil. The study also recommended that the road urgently needed routine maintenance as a treatment option to reduce further deterioration and extend its service time.

Geocellular plastic units or stormwater modules are popular to replace conventional drainage systems due to land limitations of urbanization. Most research focuses on stormwater management rather than its mechanical properties. Several cases were discovered where the failure was not due to material or manufacturing quality. As there is a lack on information of structural behaviour, this paper presents an experimental study of performance for stormwater modules under uniaxial load. There are four specimens for vertical load test and one for lateral load test. The vertical and lateral loads are applied separately to the specimens and the deflections are measured. From the obtained results, it is found that the module is able to resist 87.3486 kN and exhibits 12.3551 mm in vertical load direction. The column buckling is the failure mode of these specimens, and it is within the design limit of ASSTHO HS20 unfactored traffic load design. For lateral load, it can go up to 19 kN resistance, which is equivalent to a 3-meter depth design for the worst scenario with wet clay. The specimen is found to have failed in the excessive deflection which leads to the facture of the side cover. Further consultation is required in the detailed design using these stormwater modules underneath roads, buildings or car parks in order to obtain a more reliable stormwater management system.

Authors: Lee Yee Yong
Published: September 2022

The second editorial scope of the Journal of Civil Engineering, Science, and Technology (JCEST) emphasizes one of the main disciplines of civil engineering, namely building and construction management. The continued development of management theories has continuously influenced construction project delivery practices. The knowledge gained from R&D could enhance construction management practices towards excellent performance in the delivery of built-environment projects. This brief editorial piece highlights the themes of building and construction management in the last 10 years by gathering information from the freely-accessible Scopus database and the most published area of JCEST from the perspective of common keywords found in published papers. Based on the civil, building and construction management research field, the top 10-ranked keywords were found based on Scopus database and “Construction” is the top keyword found based on the articles on building and construction management published in JCEST. The aim of this exercise is to provide a brief guide to researchers to explore the state-of-the-art knowledge in the area of building and construction management in the construction industry.
Learning at Work: Maximising the Potential of Lifelong Learners at the Workplace
Authors: Yusoff Asrif
Published: September 2022

Lifelong learners are individuals who pursue learning as a voluntary and self-driven vocation. Given their commitment to continual improvement, an organisation's lifelong learners can potentially increase performance overall. This study aims to identify the factors that motivate lifelong learners to pursue lifelong learning and the challenges that they face in attaining this goal. In doing this, a group of employees across three organisations was selected based on their performance on three online learning platforms. They were then interviewed to gain an understanding of their specific motivations and challenges in pursuing self-directed learning. Three considerations were made for the organisations when planning and investing in the appropriate interventions to enable and support lifelong learning within their organisations based on the factors and barriers that were discovered from the interviews.

Authors: Yi Zi Ning , Mahmud Norashikin
Published: September 2022

This article describes a quantitative investigation of prosocial behaviour (PSB) research in bibliometric analysis. This bibliometric study focuses on the global research trends followed using Scopus Database. The main variables used for analyses of this study were by year, source, affiliation, author, country, area of a subject, and document type. The analysis of CiteScore, total publications, total citations, and h-index was done to rank the top contributors. The first research article on PSB was published in 1967, followed by the most recent publications in 2020. A total of 3,644 publications have been found during these 53 years. The author keywords and co-occurrences have been represented by bibliometric maps using VOSviewer 1.6.16. This study found an increase in the research trend for PSB, which was mainly published in seven (7) different publishers' journals. Amongst these, American Psychological Association, Wiley, and Frontiers are the three top publishers with 4.61%, 4.23%, and 4.21% contribution to the total publications. Findings regarding the top 15 most prolific authors showed that most of the authors related to PSB were from the United States, followed by Italy, Canada, and only one from Netherlands, Germany, and Chile. Further, most of the PSB research work was done in psychology. Overall, this study provides an evidence base, highlighting global trends and directions of research work published on PSB, adding value to the existing body of knowledge, and paving the way for future researchers.
Motivation to Read Authentic Narrative Texts: A Focus on Pre-University Students in an ESL Class
Authors: Yusuf Keezrawati
Published: September 2022

Second Language (L2) instructors often use authentic text, although it is designed for real-world communication among speakers of a target language. However, it is criticised for being too complex for L2 learners. This study explores the level of acceptance of 85 pre-university students of authentic narrative text in their ESL lessons and the factors that influence their reading motivation. The quantitative data were collected using a 9-item questionnaire. The findings show that the students had a high acceptance of reading authentic narrative texts in the classroom. Their motivation was positively correlated with the length of the text, level of interest, relevance and appropriateness of the storyline. This study supports the use of authentic narrative texts in ESL classrooms.
The Potential of Game-based Micro-learning Resources for Engaging Learners with Intercultural Competence Development
Authors: Arnab Sylvester , Walaszczyk Ludmila
Published: September 2022

This article discusses the potential of the application of interactive micro-learning content that aims to develop intercultural competences in the workplace, focusing on the pedagogically-informed design of playful interactive learning resources for engaging learners with topics related to cultural risks. Eight topics were identified through our engagement with 154 personnel from multicultural organisations across five European countries, including cross-cultural awareness, stereotypes, and communication. A competence map was then developed, articulating the specific aspects of these topics, which informed online content development. Findings from the evaluation of the online educational materials across the five countries (n=223 participants) suggest the significance and relevance of the topics in the workplace and the value of using playful micro-resources for delivering topics that were deemed less attractive.
