REFLEXÕES SOBRE O NOVO CONSTITUCIONALISMO LATINO AMERICANO NA GEOPOLÍTICA MUNDIAL FACE À CRISE FINANCEIRA DE 2008.
Authors: Figueiredo Leonardo Vizeu
Published: April 2018

O ano de 2008 notabilizou-se pelo colapso do sistema financeiro mundial. Isto porque, a crise do mercado imobiliário norte-americano afetou, de forma gravosa, diversas instituições financeiras por todo o mundo. Restou claro, assim, a influenciação que as economias domésticas têm umas sobre as outras.Em que pese ter tido origem em países centrais, de economia desenvolvida, seus reflexos e efeitos foram sentidos pelos países periféricos, com economias consideradas em desenvolvimento, fato que, por si, denota a necessidade de um novo modelo de intervencionismo, mormente no que se refere a supervisão e regulação do mercado bancário, que permita que o intercâmbio econômico-financeiro não se traduza em fato impeditivo ao crescimento e ao desenvolvimento.Outrossim, a referida crise demonstrou de forma cabal que mesmo os países considerados desenvolvidos não estão com suas economias internas imunes às variações e flutuações da Ordem Internacional, havendo necessidade de se estruturar organismos e instrumentos que se traduzam em mecanismos efetivos de supervisão e regulação.Somado a isso, a crise da zona do euro, notadamente em Portugal, Itália, Irlanda, Grécia e Espanha, igualmente revelou a fragilidade do sistema financeiro regional da Europa. Por outro lado, o constante quadro de instabilidade política da América Latina trouxe à lume as diversas debilidades de suas economias domésticas.Diante desse quadro, o direito constitucional e o direito econômico, buscam novos paradigmas de regulação estatal, com inexoráveis consequências no que se refere à configuração geopolítica regional.O presente artigo se propõem a analisar os impactos jurídicos e econômicos que a Crise Financeira do subprime norte-americano, da zona do euro e do neopopulismo latino americano tiveram na América do Norte, Europa e na America do Sul, com ênfase nesta última, inclusive no que se refere as novas doutrinas aplicadas.

Flaked stone assemblage variability across the Weipa region of western Cape York Peninsula, Queensland
Authors: Shiner Justin , Holdaway Simon , Fanning Patricia
Published: April 2018

Shell mounds located on the coastal and estuarine fringes are the best-known archaeological feature in the Weipa region, northwestern Cape York Peninsula, Australia. Other archaeological deposits have received less attention, with stone artefacts thought to be all but absent reflecting the lack of raw material suitable for flaking in the region. Cultural heritage surveys on the bauxite plateau in the Weipa region undertaken since 2003 have changed this view. Here we report on stone artefacts manufactured from quartz, quartzite, silcrete, and mudstone. Surprisingly, flakes and cores in assemblages from across the surveyed region retain a relatively large proportion of cortex, indicating limited lithic reduction despite the lack of local raw material. Comparisons made with assemblage characteristics from other regions in Australia indicate that this lack of core reduction may reflect use of the Albatross Bay landscape by people who were confident of being able to access the lithic sources outside the region to replenish their tool kits.
PENDEKATAN KEADILAN RESTORATIF: UPAYA MELIBATKAN PARTISIPASI KORBAN DAN PELAKU SECARA LANGSUNG DALAM PENYELESAIAN PERKARA PIDANA

Abstract

From our understanding of ius poenale and ius puniendi, crime logically is simply considered as any offense directed against the state. In other words, conflict between offender and the State. It follow that justice is related to number of cases processed and punishment served. From this perspective, the criminal justice system disregards victims’ and offenders’s needs for closure and personal justice.  The restorative justice system offers an alternate approach which may compensate the shortcomings of the existing criminal justice system that is by opening up the possibility of victims and offenders participation.

Published: April 2018

The legal practice of Islamic (Sharia) economics in the real sector of Indonesia’s national economic development by way of various institutions or Islamic (sharia-based) economic centers has had a positive impact on the growth and development of the national economy. The practice is based on Islamic principles, which have been shaped into a wide variety of regulations or legislation in effect. In the legal concept of Sharia economics, the state as represented by the government that implements Sharia-based economic practices must apply the principles of Islamic economics to achieve the goal of Islamic economic law. The purpose of this Sharia economic law emphasizes the benefits for society based on the balance and fairness thus attained to present a showcase of the politics involved in Islamic economic law. The actual reality of legislation in Sharia-based economic activities issued by the government still falls decidedly short of expectations when compared to conventional economic activities and legal certainty in other countries, due to the role that Islamic economic law plays in determining the government’s political direction and ways of formalizing Islamic economic law in Indonesia.
PERAN DAN TANGGUNG JAWAB LEMBAGA PELAYANAN PENEMPATAN DAN PERLINDUNGAN PEKERJA MIGRAN DI INDONESIA

Migrant workers are the universal right holders whose rights, dignity and security require special and specific kinds of protection. The international migrant workers happen to find themselves outside of their nationality law protection system, hence their status is absolutely crucial, as they are susceptible to exploitation and harassment. This protection has been provided since the activities of the labor system in the market are related to pre-placement, placement, and post-placement. The actual implementation of this form of protection currently falls under an institution in charge of services and protection. This institution is known in Indonesia as Badan Nasional Penempatan dan Perlindungan Tenaga Kerja Indonesia, the National Institution for the Placement and Protection of Indonesian Laborers (BNPPTKI). The vulnerability of Indonesian migrant laborers can be discerned from a number of issues such as execution of the death penalty in the country of destination without any notification being given to the government of their country of origin, and acts of violence committed against Indonesian migrant workers in their workplace that is quite susceptible to 3D. By way of its various institutions, Indonesia must address the issues of migrant workers seriously and regard this matter as being subject to law in specific situations. The safe and proper migration situation of Indonesian International workers should become a role model and fall under the responsibilities of the placement institutions services and protections in order to minimize the legal issues faced by the Indonesian workers.

This article deals with the problem arising out of copyright registration system which oftentimes leads to copyright disputes. The author argues that this dispute arises out of the possible conflict between automatic protection principle and the existing copyright registration system. Therefore, the author suggests that, in the case of copyright ownership dispute, registration should not be perceived as absolute evidence. Treating registration as absolute proof will instead violate the automatic protection system. Instead, the author suggests that other factors, such as publication of copyright, understanding of individuality concept, originality standards etc., should be taken into consideration as well, when determining copyright ownership.

Authors: Fadhly Fabian
Published: April 2018

Islam and Indonesia are a mutually supportive part of both, the reality of history shows the circumstances. Islam became part of Indonesia that was known at that time as the archipelago, the various Islamic teachings seep into a part of Indonesian society. Law as one of his teachings known as fiqh, then translated into Islamic law in the context of Indonesia today. Islamic law experienced a long journey from the era of the sultanate to the modern era, with various changes and developments follow the times and needs of the society of Islamic law itself. The method put forward in this paper is a historical method with a juridical approach. The demarcation of time and time that permeates Islam from time to time in extending its influence, to the various behaviors of Indonesian society through the long historical journey. The timing also indicates that Islam is a part of synergy through Islamic law with Indonesian society (Nusantara), as the context of the understanding or adaptive transformation of fiqih that emerges and develops in the Sultanate era as a form of manifestation of fiqh in the classical period.
Evidence for Increased Magnetic Resonance Imaging Signal Intensity and Morphological Changes in the Brachial Plexus and Median Nerves of Patients With Chronic Arm and Neck Pain Following Whiplash Injury
Authors: Greening Jane , Anantharaman Kamakshi , Young Rupert , Dilley Andrew
Published: April 2018

Background

Whiplash following a motor vehicle accident can result in chronic neck and arm pain. Patients frequently present with cutaneous hypersensitivities and hypoesthesia, but without obvious clinical signs of nerve injury. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has previously been used to identify nerve pathology.

Objectives

To determine whether there are signs of peripheral nerve pathology on MRI in patients with chronic arm and neck pain following whiplash injury.

Methods

This cross-sectional study used T2-weighted MRI to examine the brachial plexus and median nerve in patients and age-matched, healthy control subjects. Clinical examination included tests of plexus and nerve trunk mechanical sensitivity.

Results

The T2 signal intensity was greater in the brachial plexus and median nerve at the wrist in the patient group (mean intensity ratio = 0.52 ± 0.13 and 2.09 ± 0.33, respectively) compared to the control group (mean intensity ratio = 0.45 ± 0.07 and 1.38 ± 0.31, respectively; P<.05). Changes in median nerve morphology were also observed, which included an enlargement (mean area: patient group, 8.05 ± 1.29 mm2; control group, 6.52 ± 1.08 mm2; P<.05) and flattening (mean aspect ratio: patient group, 2.46 ± 0.53; control group, 1.62 ± 0.30; P<.05) at the proximal carpal row. All patients demonstrated signs of nerve trunk mechanical sensitivity.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that patients with chronic whiplash may have inflammatory changes and/or mild neuropathy, which may contribute to symptoms. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2018;48(7):523–532. Epub 24 Apr 2018. doi:10.2519/jospt.2018.7875

Published: April 2018

This study was conducted to evaluate the role and awareness to sample of Iraqi pharmacists in antimicrobial resistance of most common resistance bacterial species and to investigate the possible control measures against the increasing rate of resistance to current antimicrobial therapies. A questionnaire was administered to 120 Iraqi pharmacists in there work place weather in hospitals pharmacy or community pharmacies.the results of the present study indicate that most of the responding pharmacists considered methicillin resistant staphylococcus aurous (MRSA) and vancomycinresistant Enterobacteriaceae (VRE) the most frequently encountered resistant bacterial species. Most pharmacists stated prolonged hospitalization as a factor likely to contribute to increase the rate of bacterial resistance.Our results reported that 60%of Iraqi pharmacists indicated the use of antibiotics without prescription as a significant reason for the development of bacterial resistance,the pharmacists stated the appropriate infections control is the most crucial measure to decrease bacterial resistance on the other hand the results showed that 55% of them recognized better adherence to infection to the infection control guidelines as somewhat likely most important factor that could reduce the risk of bacterial resistance. The result of pharmacists suggestion show that the strategies to control bacterial resistance was better hyjiene practice was 47.5 % while the pharmacists opinion on the future risk of bacterial resistance show that 63% of them considered that bacterial resistance will become worse if current practice do not change.On conclusion the finding of the current study explain a. varying levels of awareness of bacterial resistance among Iraqi pharmacist thus serious efforts are still needed to develop and implement strategies to reduce the further risk of bacterial resistance antimicrobial.

Published: April 2018

Data on the effect of obesity on seminal fluid and men fertility are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on semen characteristics in infertile men.A cross-sectional study was conducted on seventy-four infertile men who met inclusion criteria.Semen sample were collected and sperm concentration,progressive motility,total motility and normal sperm morphology were assessed in accordance with WHO 2010 criteria. For each patient weight and height were measure and patients were divided by BMI into normal weight (BMI: 18.5–24.9 kg/m2,n=30),overweight (BMI: 25–29.9 kg/m2,n=30) and obese (BMI:≥30 kg/m2, n=14). Seminal fluid parameters were compared among the three groups.Sperm concentration was lower in obese men but it did not differ significantly from those of normal weight and overweight infertile men (25.71±22.16,34.33±31.11,36.07±31.24 and million/ml respectively,P>0.05). Sperm progressive motility,total motility and normal sperm morphology also were not significantly different among normal weight,overweight and obese infertile men.Our findings suggest that BMI may have no influence on sperm concentration,motility and normal morphology in infertile men.

Authors: Al-Tu'ma Fadhil Jawad , Kadhim Anaam Hato , Kadhim Anaam Hato , Al-Mudhaffar Saif Sami
Published: April 2018

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a clinical manifestation resulting from a narrowing of epicardial coronary arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. Coronary artery disease is mostcommonlydue to atherosclerotic occlusion of the coronary arteries.Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a circulating peptide hormone secreted by bone cells,regulating phosphate and vitamin D metabolism. Several recent observational studies reported an independent association of circulating FGF23 with several cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors including left ventricular hypertrophy and vascular dysfunction,CVD progression and incident clinical CVD eventsand mortality.Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) is the primary protein associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles,and plays a central role in reverse cholesterol transport. HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and ApoA1 concentrations are inverlassely related to the risk for coronary artery disease. To find the role of fibroblast growth factor-23 in coronary artery disease and its associationwith Apolipoprotein-A1.This ccross –sectionalstudyincluded 42 elective patients attending the cardiology unit and the results of those patients were compared with 40 healthy control group. Blood samples were obtained for measurements of (FGF-23,troponin I,Apo-A1,total creatine kinase activity,urea,creatinine and lipid profile).The obtained results showed that there was a significant difference in serum FGF-23 in coronary artery disease (367.52 ± 128.52 pg/ml) as compared with the control (165.41 ± 53.65 pg/ml) (p< 0.05). There was a significant differences in Apo-A1 in coronary artery disease (2.03±0.90 mg/ml) as compared with the control (1.49 ± 0.25 mg/ml) (P = 0.014).There was a significant difference in age between CAD (58.66±8.85) and control group (51.125 ± 11.71) (P<0.005).There was a significant difference in TG where control (99.50 ± 21.59) differ from CAD (142.05 ± 66.24) (P = 0.006).According to the results that were shown in the tables, we can be conclude that higher levels of FGF23 and Apo-A1 may be associated with complications and mortality of CAD beside its associating with atherosclerosis in the Iraqi patients.

Published: April 2018

İklim değişikliğinin kıyı yerleşimlerinin
ekosistemi, nüfusu, ekonomisi, yapılı çevresi ve altyapısı üzerinde olumsuz
etkileri bulunmaktadır. Yerleşimlerin altyapı hizmetlerine erişilebilirliği ve
kalitesindeki yetersizlikler, etkin olmayan arazi kullanım plan ve
politikaları, yetersiz yatırımlar, afet direnci zayıf yapı stoğu vb. bu
etkilerin artmasına, dolayısıyla yerleşimlerin iklim değişikliğine karşı
direncinin ve uyum kapasitesinin zayıflamasına neden olmaktadır. İklim
değişikliği ile baş edebilmek için uyum stratejileri ve esneklik düşüncesine
dayalı planlama yaklaşımı son yıllarda kent yazınında gündeme gelmektedir. Bu
kapsamda kentsel arazi kullanım politika ve planları; yerleşimlerin morfolojik
yapılarını, başka bir deyişle, mekânsal gelişme biçim, yön, büyüklük ve
niteliğini, sektörel kararları, kullanımların yer seçimini, yapılaşma
koşullarını belirler ve yerleşimlerin uyum kapasiteleriyle yakından
ilişkilidir. Makalede, iklim değişikliği risklerinden deniz seviyesinin
yükselmesi ve sıcaklık artışı riskleriyle karşı karşıya olan Alanya kıyı
yerleşiminin kırılganlığı incelenmiş; mevcut Çevre Düzeni Planının bu
kırılganlığı dikkate alıp almadığı veya uyum sağlamayı destekleyip
desteklemediği analiz edilmiş ve Alanya’nın uyum kapasitesini güçlendirebilecek
mekânsal stratejiler geliştirilmiştir.

Este escrito apresenta apontamentos acerca da tessitura de redes como tendência no campo da pesquisa, em particular na pesquisa em Educação, estratégia de ampliação do processo associativo de pesquisadores no delineamento de alternativas para a melhoria da qualidade do conhecimento, consequentemente para seu avanço. Inicia retomando aspectos históricos da gênese da pesquisa em Educação na cena nacional, reflexão entremeada por anotações buscando explicitar a perspectiva dominante nesse percurso. Registra, em seguida, experiência de pesquisa em rede empreendida pela articulação de quatro Programas de Pós-graduação em educação de três Universidades públicas situadas nas regiões Nordeste e Sudeste do país, iniciativa apoiada pelo Programa Observatório da Educação (OBEDUC), promovido pela CAPES. Apontamentos sobre o contributo da formação pós-graduada stricto sensu encerram as reflexões em torno do potencial de processos associativo de pesquisadores mediante a constituição de redes.

Aceitando o desafio de orientar pesquisadores que são profissionais de escolas e de outros espaçosformativos, alunos do programa de pós-graduação em que atuamos, apresentamos um estudo realizadocom o objetivo de compreender as especificidades do mestrado profissional com a elaboração de dissertaçãoe produto educacional, as diversas metodologias de pesquisa que requer e, em particular, a metodologiade pesquisa sobre a própria prática. Tomamos como referência prática a experiência do Programa de Pós-Graduação Educação e Docência, Mestrado Profissional (PROMESTRE/FAE/UFMG), linha EducaçãoMatemática, no qual os orientadores têm sua formação em Programas Acadêmicos. Os mestrandos trazemdesafios de suas experiências práticas, esperando entendê-las, sistematizá-las, encontrar soluções e/oudesenvolver práticas inovadoras e eficazes. Nem sempre as metodologias de pesquisa comumente utilizadasnos programas acadêmicos do campo educacional atendem a essas especificidades. Isto nos levou a umabusca de metodologias pertinentes. Os primeiros estudos nos levaram a situar a pesquisa sobre a própriaprática no âmbito da “pesquisa-ação” (THIOLLENT, 2003), explorando a visão do que se denomina por“pesquisa-ensino” (PENTEADO, 2010), uma concepção que se adequa à pesquisa sobre a própria prática.A “pesquisa-ensino” proporciona ao professor-pesquisador conduzir uma atividade educativa planejadacomo ação de pesquisa, desenvolvendo procedimentos, nos quais se destaca o registro por filmagem daprática do próprio professor-pesquisador, preferencialmente apoiado por outro pesquisador. No Programade Pós-Graduação PROMESTRE, o mestrando apresenta, ao final, uma dissertação, na qual se indicaque seja feita uma reflexão de sua prática, situando a questão de pesquisa e o plano de ação comoproduto educacional esperado e embasado em teorias do campo da educação. Abordamos também nesseestudo a necessária articulação entre pesquisa, produto e formação, entendendo serem esses objetivosintrinsecamente relacionados. A expectativa é que o processo do mestrado profissional seja formativopara o professor-pesquisador, ao mesmo tempo, que devolve à comunidade educacional recursos de apoioa novas práticas.
Getting the dietary knowledge to restore a missing species: seasonal diet of Atlas deer Cervus elaphus barbarus in Tazekka National Park, Morocco

Published: April 2018

Atlas deer Cervus elaphus barbarus was reintroduced in Tazekka National Park in 1994 to help restore the natural state in the regions of the Middle Atlas and Rif mountains. A study of its diet in this area was recommended by the National Strategy for ungulates in order to get data to assess the feasibility of a subsequent release. So our aim was to study the diet of Atlas deer and its seasonal variation. Faeces were collected in Atlas during 2013–2014 in Bab Klati 520‐ha reserve located in the west of the Tazekka National Park. Faecal samples were micro‐histologically analysed based on a reference epidermis catalogue of all existing plants in the reserve. Poaceae species, the main representatives of the herbaceous category, were consumed at 28%, 37% and 43% of the diet in autumn, winter and spring, respectively. In summer, the consumption of Poaceae did not exceed 2%, presumably because of their limited availability. Pteridium aqualinium was consumed especially in summer (6%). Shrubs were represented by three main species: Ulex boivinii, Cytisus triflorus and Lavandula steochas. Consumption of U. boivinii was high in autumn (41%) and spring (31%) and low in winter (16%) and summer (6%). As for C. triflorus, the consumption was maximal in winter (30%), average in autumn (19%) and spring (18%) and lowest in summer (2%). Lavandula steochas was consumed mainly in autumn (8%). In the summer, trees were the main components of the diet and were represented by the oak species Quercus faginea (61%), Q. rotundifolia (13%) and Q. suber (5%). Our analysis revealed dramatic changes in the diet of Atlas deer in Morocco from one season to the other, indicating that this animal is able to change its foraging strategy based on its needs, and on the changing availability of various plants in the environment.
Corruption and Health Sector Performances in West Africa Countries: A Theoretical Analysis
Authors: Popoola Oladayo Timothy
Published: April 2018

The fact that corruption has become one of the most notoriously persistent and progressively worsening social and welfare problems afflicting virtually all economic processes today is indisputable; while critics of corruption have long argued that corruption reflects government failure in providing health development infrastructures. This paper however provided the basis of theoretical interrelationships between corruption and health sector performances in West African countries. The paper also examines various policies measures as employed by other nations as lessons to improve the performances of health sector in these countries. One implication of these results as evidenced from Singapore, Hong Kong and Tunisia, is that attainment of stronger and effective institution and good governance will lower corruptive practices and improve health sector performances in West Africa nations. The paper therefore calls on governments of West African countries to concentrate on strengthening their institutions especially by reducing corruptive practices and promoting accountability, integrity and transparency in health sector.

A young man with bleeding esophageal varices
Authors: Chonprasertsuk Soonthorn
Published: April 2018

The noncirrhotic portal hypertension is an uncommon cause of bleeding esophageal varices. This condition must be suspected in patients with preserved liver function. We report a 25-year old man with SLE disease who presented with hematemesis. He had no history or risk factors for an underlying liver condition. A huge splenomegaly was detected by physical examination. The EGD found three large varices with red wale sign, whereas liver function tests were unremarkable. The noncirrhotic portal hypertension was diagnosed and confirmed by liver histopathology.
