MOLECULAR DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN NATIVE AND VIETNAM ORIGINATED STRIPED SNAKEHEADS (CHANNA STRIATA) IN BANGLADESH USING MITOCHONDRIAL CYTOCHROME B GENE
Authors: Kanon Kaniz , Jannat Bushratul , Komaki Shohei , Alam Md , Alam Mohammad
Published: December 2022

The freshwater striped snakehead, Channa striata, is widely distributed in several Asian countries such as China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. The present study investigated various C. striata populations sequentially by the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Native populations (136) were collected from nine geographically different locations and the Vietnamese populations (50) from two other fish farms in Bangladesh. The partial sequence of Cyt b (836bp) was analyzed, and the results have identified five haplotypes from nine natives and a single haplotype from two Vietnamese populations. This demonstrated that Vietnam-originated populations in Bangladesh had the same origin. In contrast, the pairwise highest Fst value observed between Native and Vietnamese populations shows a substantial genetic variation between them. The phylogenetic tree separated both the native and exotic populations, whereas five native haplotypes formed a cluster with the Indian C. striata. In contrast, the Vietnam haplotype formed a clade with the East Asian C. striata suggesting possible cryptic genetic diversity. Finally, the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene can also be used to identify native and Vietnam-originated C. striata strain available in Bangladesh, beneficial to broodstock development and conservation issues. Besides, a detailed morphological study of Vietnam-originated C. striata needs to be required to identify the exact morphotype available in Bangladesh.

Published: December 2022

One of the most popular climacteric fruits, tomatoes contain numerous nutrients that are essential to human nutrition, including vitamins, minerals, lycopene, beta-carotene, and other bioactive substances. Due to a lack of appropriate processing technique, a large amount of postharvest loss is usually experienced every year as it is a highly perishable vegetable. This study aims to increase the shelf life and quality of three tomato varieties (BARI Tomato-8, BARI Tomato-10, and BARI Tomato-11). Firstly, chemical analysis (pH, TSS, titrable acidity) of prepared aloe vera gel (AVG) along with antioxidant properties was determined. Then three tomato varieties were coated with aloe vera gel (AVG), sodium benzoate (SB), the combination of aloe vera gel and sodium benzoate, and without any coating considered as control. Treated samples were then analyzed for pH, TSS, weight loss, titratable acidity, and antioxidative activities during storage. Treated samples (10% AVG, 3% SB solution, and 3% SB +10% AVG) showed a gradual increase in pH, TSS, weight loss, and a decrease in the titratable acidity as well induced antioxidative activities differently during storage in comparison with the control one. The antioxidant capacity was calculated up to 78.25 % for 10% Aloe vera gel treated samples while aloe vera gel had 15.22% radical scavenging activity (RSA). In all tomato varieties, more than 50% DPPH radical inhibition had been observed for most of the treatment groups except 3% SB after 21 days of storage. Overall, 3% SB mixed with 10% AVG showed the best results among the four treatments.

Comparison of memory between blind and sighted individuals
Authors: Vadapalli Kiranmai , Devarakonda Bhargava
Published: December 2022

Background: One of the current challenges in sensory aids for blind pertains to the possible visual acuity and capacity which can be transmitted through various restoration approaches. Behavioral studies have shown that visual perception is not essential for an efficient development of working memory suggesting other sensory modalities that might compensate by providing necessary spatial information.

Aims and Objectives: The aims of this study were as follows: (1) To study and compare verbal memory in blind and sighted individuals. (2) To study and compare spatial memory in blind and sighted individuals.

Materials and Methods: Study group – consisted of total 21 adventitiously blind subjects (12 males and nine females) taken from blind school, in age group of 18–27 years. Control group – consisted of total 64 apparently healthy sighted subjects (37 males and 27 females) obtained from large tertiary care teaching hospital in Pune. Every subject to perform (a) verbal memory test and (b) spatial memory test. Data were recorded by taking help of any person who was blinded to study and results of the previous research done. All results were recorded in a pre-specified format. Data were tabulated. Results had been analyzed using unpaired test by SPSS version 16.

Results: The sighted subjects performed the verbal memory test (C4 and C5) significantly better (P < 0.05) (more letters recalled) than the non-sighted subjects. The sighted subjects performed the spatial memory test significantly better (less time taken) than the non-sighted subjects.

Conclusions: While verbal memory or the auditory memory was tested, it was found that 60% of the times, there was no difference in the outcome of the test between both the groups. However, remaining 40% of the times, non-sighted, or the study group were able to perform better. Results of the spatial memory test revealed that 80% of the times, sighted group performed significantly better than the non-sighted group.

Coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus produce opportunistic fungal infections. Mucormycosis is an acute onset rapidly progressive fatal infection. Incidence of rhino-orbital mucormycosis raised during the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in India. Diabetes, steroid therapy, cancer, prolonged hospitalization, and metabolic acidosis are the risk factors of post-COVID-19 mucormycosis. Objectives of this study were to suggest the risk factors, clinical features, investigations, and treatment of post-COVID-19 rhino-orbital mucormycosis. This study will guide the future research and the clinician will be aware about this complication of COVID-19. After getting permission from the Institutional Ethical Committee and consent from patients, we studied 10 cases of post-COVID-19 rhino-orbital mucormycosis from April to September 2021 during our duty in COVID-19 admission desk and COVID-19 ward in NRS Medical College, Kolkata. After taking history, we observed the clinical features, investigations, and treatment of the patients. Symptoms of the patients were nasal discharge, nasal block, headache, facial swelling, and blackish discoloration of skin. Most of the patients were diabetic. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-PNS was showed sinonasal mass. Amphotericin-B was used and debridement was the main surgical procedure. Microscopy showed broad aseptate hyphae suggesting mucor. Early diagnosis and proper treatment will reduce the morbidity and mortality of the patient with post-COVID rhino-orbital mucormycosis.
EU Law and the Public Regulation of the Platform Economy: The Case of the Short-Term Rental Market
Authors: Schaub Martien , Kramer Dion
Published: December 2022

The platform economy undoubtedly brings advantages, but also generates significant challenges for (local) government. National and local regulators seeking to address such challenges are confronted with limits imposed by EU law, which seemingly grants online platforms a wide degree of freedom to provide their services within the Union’s internal market. This article evaluates the room for national and local authorities to regulate platform-mediated services under the E-Commerce Directive and Services Directive after the “Airbnb cases” (Airbnb Ireland and Cali Apartments). Taking the short-term rental market as a case study, the article concludes that there is in fact considerable room to target both the intermediary services provided by the platforms (upstream), as well as the underlying services (downstream). A combination of upstream and downstream regulation is recommended for local enforcement to be effective, avoid further fragmentation from city to city and halt the trend towards ever-stricter regulation of the underlying services.

After the Judgment: The Implementation of Preliminary Rulings in the Hungarian Judicial System 2004–2019 and Beyond
Authors: Varju Marton , Várnay Erno
Published: December 2022

The role played by preliminary rulings in EU legal integration and their impact on national legal systems can only be adequately understood if their implementation by national courts is scrutinized in detail. Based on a dataset collected over the past two years, this article examines the implementation of the preliminary rulings referred by Hungarian courts in the Hungarian judicial system in the period between EU accession and 2019 and somewhat beyond. Its principal aim, using the conceptual and analytical framework developed in previous scholarship, is to establish whether the so-called “implementation prejudice” observed in other national jurisdictions also characterizes national court implementation in Hungary. The article’s main finding is that in this first period of EU membership, despite the often rather hostile general climate for the application of EU legal obligations, the ECJ’s preliminary rulings have been implemented by Hungarian courts with only a handful of problematic cases arising in national judicial practice.

Der Allgemeine Teil des neuen chinesischen Zivilgesetzbuchs im Vergleich zum deutschen BGB (Teil 1): Eine rechtswissenschaftliche und -terminologische Untersuchung der Rechtssubjektsregelungen
Authors: Wang Qiang
Published: December 2022

On 1 January 2021, the newly codified Civil Code (CC) came into effect in the People’s Republic of China, having been high on the political and legislative agenda in recent years and approved by the National People’s Congress on 28 May 2020. Since the founding of the People’s Republic (1949), numerous attempts have been made to codify its civil law. The CC is undoubtedly a landmark in China’s overall legal history, particularly with regard to civil law legislation, which, in contrast to the country’s long and turbulent history, had only begun in the late Qing Dynasty (1911). Preceding the enactment of the CCL, the General Part of the Civil Law of the People’s Republic of China, to which the CC’s General Part is basically identical, had already been adopted and enacted in 2017. With this step, China’s legislators succeeded in replacing the General Principles of the Civil Law of the People’s Republic of China, which by then were already 31 years old, together with their supreme court interpretation, and finally set the course for the codification of the People’s Republic of China’s civil law. In view of the codificationhistorical and jurisprudential position of the CC’s General Part in China’s civil law and of the new codification as a whole, it is appropriate to present it to German-speaking and international legal experts, primarily in comparison with the General Part of the German Civil Code, which served or will serve as the most important foreign source of knowledge in the creation of the CC and in its application-related optimization. In this respect, this treatise, consisting of two parts, appreciates the renewal achievements of the CC’s General Part and examines its regulations in a comparative legal manner, focusing on the legal subjects, civil rights, legal transactions (including representation) and civil liability in terms of legal doctrine, technology and concepts.
A Contract Law Approach for the Treatment of Smart Contracts’ ‘Bugs’
Authors: Rizos Evripidis
Published: December 2022

This article attempts to derive some principles concerning the legal treatment of bugs in smart contracts, namely errors in the smart contract code which may result to some unwanted or unexpected outcome at the execution of the contract. Before dealing with this main issue, the article concludes that despite the practical issues that arise concerning the application of traditional contract law rules and principles, these rules remain relevant, and that a smart contract is typically (but not necessarily) a mere tool for the performance of the contract and not a legal contract itself. Therefore, typically, bugs in smart contracts should be examined under the doctrines of the breach of contract and/or the unfair enrichment and not as reasons for any potential invalidity of the contract. Only in (rather unlikely cases) where a smart contract could be indeed perceived as the body of the legal contract itself, printing errors in the code or other expressional mistakes concerning the semantics of the code (albeit not its function) could be perceived as potential reasons for the invalidity of the contract, according to the relevant rules of each jurisdiction. Nevertheless, even in these cases, interpretation of the contract with objective standards should not be ruled out, even when the contract is concluded by means of artificial intelligence (AI). The article examines also contributory negligence issues.
The CISG and European Private Law: When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do
Authors: Schwenzer Ingeborg , Wittum Patrick
Published: December 2022

The greatest success of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is probably the strong influence it has exerted on law reformers both at the domestic and the international level. Since its coming into force, there have been significant reforms of European private law through harmonization efforts of the European Union and legislative activities of its Member States. This article shows that there is a strong trend for their modernizations in the area of sale of goods and contract law to follow the solutions found under the CISG, especially concerning the definition of non-conformity and damages based on strict liability coupled with a foreseeability requirement. There are also occasional improvements like the exemption for impediments beyond the obligor’s control barring both damages and explicitly also specific performance or the open recognition of gain-based damages. Still, some departures from the solutions of the CISG need to be criticized, amongst others narrow definitions of the concept of sale of goods, the foreseeability limitation for damages not applying in cases of gross negligence or fraud, and separate provisions for cases of hardship.
Competition Law and Digital Markets: Adaptation of Traditional Categories or New Rules? Some Reflections Arising from the Amazon Cases Regarding the Access to Non-Public Data
Authors: Fratea Caterina
Published: December 2022

The present paper is intended to analyse if alleged exclusionary abuses perpetrated by big digital platforms, with particular reference to the access to non-public data dealt with in the Amazon Marketplace case, can be assessed applying the legal standards that the Court of Justice developed around the refusal to deal and the margin squeeze practices. It also shows how the new Digital Markets Act, despite representing a step forward in the regulation of the activity of these economic operators, still leaves a few questions open, especially regarding its non-sectoral approach. Finally, the interplay between access to data and privacy rules is investigated.

An Introduction to Factoring Law in China
Authors: Huang Meiling , Yuan Yongkang
Published: December 2022

With the growth of international trade activities, the business volume of factoring in the Chinese market has shown a significant upward trend. Before the promulgation of the Chinese Civil Code in 2020, the factoring contract did not receive due attention, while its legal nature has sparked heated debate due to the complex legal relationships contained in its internal structure. However, the factoring contract is stipulated in the Contract Book as a new nominate contract in the Chinese Civil Code, which is a distinctly important milestone. The relevant provisions of the factoring contract are contained in Articles 761 to 769 of the Code, which have outlined a preliminary regulatory framework for factoring activities. However, controversies still exist in the legal interpretation and judicial practices related to factoring. This paper introduces the legislation and the related judicial practices of factoring with a detailed interpretation of the relevant articles in the Chinese Civil Code, which one could consider a remarkable example of the fusion of the Civil law and Common law systems

Protection for the Self-Employed in Japan: Needs and Measures
Authors: Nishimura Itaru , Tanaka Hideki S. , Yamamoto Yota
Published: December 2022

This article examines the protection needs of the self-employed and the developments in such protection in Japan. Arguments are put forward for further improving the protection for the self-employed beyond the existing protection framework. These efforts towards improving protection are expected to continue in the future. However, this is not to suggest that a specific stance has been adopted with regard to the content of such protection for those self-employed who are eligible. Such protection is still very much in the stage of preliminary consideration. While the development of such protection is still in the early stages, emergency steps taken in the COVID-19 pandemic have included income support measures to cover the loss of work for self-employed people whose tasks are similar to those of an employee. The self-employed who are eligible for such protection are those who seek protection. It may be argued that, regardless of the intentions of policy-makers, the policies that are pursued are a reflection of how the self-employed perceive their needs.

Self-Employment in the EU and Italian Legal Systems: Recent Trends and Missed Steps
Authors: Gramano Elena
Published: December 2022

The article offers an assessment of the social protection granted to self-employed workers in the EU and Italian legal systems. It is structured as follows: first, the EU regulation currently in force is analysed to assess whether and to what extent self-employed workers can be considered entitled to social protection; second, self-employment under Italian law is analysed. The regulatory choices that set the Italian system apart from the current EU regulatory trends are highlighted, especially with regard to the use of self-employment as grounds for ad hoc regulation, and not only as the other side of the coin in relation to standard employment. In fact, since 2017, Italy has provided an ad hoc regulatory framework for self-employment, which, though not comparable to that for standard employees in terms of the level of protection, provides incipient protection specifically designed for self-employed workers. More recently, measures have been taken to support self-employed workers during market transitions and joblessness, especially in the acute phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, which in turn gave rise to the need for extraordinary income support measures self-employed workers. On the other hand, the EU continues to focus on related albeit clearly distinct issues: the fight against bogus self-employment and the extension of social protection to particularly vulnerable workers who fall outside the scope of protection of employment law. The proposed directive on platform work is the most recent evidence of this: by means of an unprecedented system of legal presumptions, it seeks to bring platform work within the regulatory scope of standard employment. In light of these developments, the concluding remarks argue that self-employment is worthy of attention on the part of the EU, not merely to avoid the circumvention of the obligations for standard employment, but above all to adopt ad hoc regulations that acknowledge and protect self-employed workers’ interests while safeguarding their social citizenship and dignity. It is argued that there is no conflict between the extension of the protection granted to employees on open-ended contracts to new types of work with a view to strengthening protection for self-employed workers.

When Precarity Encounters COVID-19: A Critical Analysis of Korean Policy Responses
Authors: Yun Aelim
Published: December 2022

In the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, Korea was considered a successful case of containment of infection. However, the employment protection response has not been as successful as the health response. Although the Korean Government has taken unprecedented fiscal measures, the hardest-hit groups including workers in non-standard employment are still least protected. The pandemic has found countries with widespread precarious employment at their most vulnerable. Since the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the Government has promoted the deregulation of capital and the flexibilization of labour, with precarious work becoming ‘normal’. COVID-19 shows that workers excluded from labour protection before the crisis are the most vulnerable in the current crisis. Dependent contractors are not protected from termination of contract or loss of income, while employees in a comparable situation may be supported by job retention schemes and unemployment benefits. This means employers using dependent contractors can avoid employer liability in a normal situation as well as in times of crisis. While the Government attempts to expand unemployment insurance to certain groups of dependent contractors, debates over who should bear the financial burden are underway. Employers refuse to contribute to unemployment insurance for dependent contractors, arguing that they are not the employers of these workers. This article analyses how flexibilization in Korea has affected vulnerability and the segmentation of labour protection. It argues that the ‘protection gap’ among workers resulted from political choices and the strategy of capital to transfer cost-and-risks onto workers and society as a whole. These pre-pandemic political choices undermine the chances of a fair recovery. This article argues that establishing employer responsibility is essential for a humancentred recovery.

Germany: The Self-Sufficient Entrepreneur Trope and the Pandemic Gnawing Away at It
Authors: Hiessl Christina
Published: December 2022

The German response to the threat which the Covid-19 crisis has posed to self-employed workers reflects an approach which so far has largely focused on the prevention of bogus self-employment. While this approach has been further reinforced, to the point where the use of self-employed contractors has been banned outright in individual occupations, plummeting incomes of the ‘genuine’ self-employed remained unaddressed in the government’s crisis response for almost one year. The contribution describes the evolution of this approach as the pandemic progressed, and discusses whether the experience of this crisis may constitute a turning point in a policy tradition which has so far relegated the self-employed to the bare minimum of fully means-tested social assistance benefits when facing macroeconomic shocks as well as individual social risks.

Two Brief Comments on the Law Commission’s Proposed Reform of the Arbitration Act 1996
Authors: Grierson Jacob
Published: December 2022

The Law Commission of England and Wales is currently reviewing the English Arbitration Act 1996 with a view to its being reformed. In September, it published a consultation paper making various recommendations on a preliminary basis. This article respectfully suggests that the Law Commission should revise its approach in respect of its proposed amendment to section 67 (challenges to jurisdiction) and its decision not to include in the review the question of the law governing the arbitration agreement: the former in order to protect the legitimacy of arbitration; and the latter in order to enhance legal certainty and clarity.

Dutch Supreme Court Finds for the First Time on Corruption and Arbitration in Context of Annulment Proceedings: Case Report on the Bariven and Yukos Decisions
Authors: Clerck W.J.L. de
Published: December 2022

This article reports on the findings of the Dutch Supreme Court in its first two decisions on corruption and arbitration in the context of annulment proceedings. In the Bariven decision of 16 July 2021, the Supreme Court reinstated an arbitral award which the Court of Appeal in The Hague had annulled, citing strong indications of corruption. The Yukos decision was handed down on 5 November 2021 but did not put an end to a saga which has been playing out in the Dutch courts since 2014. The annulment proceedings are currently pending before the Amsterdam Court of Appeal which will have to find on the merits of the Russian Federation’s procedural fraud defence following cassation by the Supreme Court over a refusal to admit this defence by the Hague Court of Appeal. This article is a case report, and its aim is limited to providing non-Dutch readers with insight into the Bariven and Yukos Supreme Court decisions. The article includes an introduction on Dutch annulment proceedings, the public policy exception as applied in such proceedings, and the related but distinct action of revocation.

NATIONAL INTEREST: PERSPECTIVES AND PRACTICES
Authors: Mehmood Khan Ehsan
Published: December 2022

“The objectives of foreign policy must be defined in terms of the national interest and must be supported with adequate power.”– Hans J. Morgenthau

Even though, national interest is one of the most developed concepts of IR scholarship, yet it remains under the debate in academic and policy circles. Various scholars and institutions contextualize and categorize national interests varyingly. There are five main issues under deliberation: first, the interplay of power and morality in formulation and pursuit of national interests; second, longevity, durability and permanency of national interests; third, the interaction between national and public interests, and the process of interest adjudication, which is the function of the political system; fourth, Islamic perspective on national interest; and fifth, the future of national interest in the wake of growing power of the non-state actors, which have started challenging the notion of national interest. This paper revisits the concept and context of national interest with strategic arguments on different debates on national interest. Important attributes of the power potential affecting national interests are considered and conceptualized by the author. The research is descriptive, explanatory, analytical and perspective in nature.
THREATS FROM CLIMATE CHANGE TO THE MILITARY SECURITY OF PAKISTAN
Authors: Haider Faraz , Sultan Adil
Published: December 2022

The nexus between climate change and military security is essentially non-existent in Pakistan’s security discourse. The paper argues for the connection between these two sectors - from the Copenhagen School framework of security - and presents how threats from climate change threaten Pakistan’s military security. Most notable threats, in severity and frequency, are sea level rise, cyclone risks, drastic floods, warming patterns, and glacial melting. Sea level rise and cyclone risks impact naval assets and infrastructure while warming patterns and glacial melting affect troop movement, deployments, and logistics. Resultantly, military training, force capacity, and operational readiness is affected. Threats are more potent in strategically significant locations (Siachen, Sindh, and Punjab) which house important forward military bases. The paper provides actionable recommendations that create foundations for future steps as well.

Published: December 2022

INTRODUÇÃO: O crescimento do surto de COVID-19 atingiu uma certa situação onde foi declarado “Estado de Emergência de Saúde Pública Mundial”, fazendo com que os países tomassem medidas pandêmicas de isolamento. Essa decisão teve um grande impacto global nas áreas socioeconômicas, causando interferências na vida diária, e trazendo um agravo nas questões psicológicas e também no aumento de sintomas osteomusculares. OBJETIVO: Observar a incidência de sintomas osteomusculares em trabalhadores de Home Office durante a pandemia da COVID-19 e também a avaliação da qualidade de vida e a verificação da existência desses distúrbios nos mesmos. MÉTODOS: Os participantes receberam o Questionário online de qualidade de vida The MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) e o Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Osteomusculares (Standardised Nordic questionnaires for the analysis of musculoskeletal symptoms). Após a coleta, todos os dados foram tabulados e, em seguida, foi observado a normalidade e também verificada a homogeneidade dos mesmos. RESULTADOS:  A maioria dos participantes (68%) relataram problemas como dor, formigamento ou dormência na parte inferior das costas nos últimos 12 meses, seguido dos ombros (40%), pescoço e joelhos (36%). Foi informado também que, nos últimos 12 meses, 18 participantes (72%) foram impedidos de realizar atividades normais como o trabalho, tarefas domésticas e de lazer. Também foi observado que uma pequena parte (32%) não se consultaram com um profissional de saúde, seja médico, fisioterapeuta ou outro, para tratar as dores com que sofria.  E por fim, nos últimos 7 dias, 11 trabalhadores (44%) tiveram problemas relacionados à parte inferior das costas, seguido de dores no pescoço, acometendo 9 participantes (36%). CONCLUSÃO: Foi observado um surgimento de novos casos de sintomas osteomusculares relacionados ao Home Office durante a pandemia, tendo uma maior predominância entre os participantes de problemas na parte inferior das costas, tanto nos últimos 12 meses quanto na última semana anterior ao início da pesquisa. Também foi observado uma interferência consideravelmente significativa na qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores.

O presente trabalho descreve a utilização da Simulação Computacional aplicada no contexto de uma indústria moveleira como metodologia de apoio no estudo de uma linha de produção composta pelos setores de Pré-Corte, Colagem de Borda e Furação, sendo constituído predominantemente por máquinas automatizadas. Foi utilizada a abordagem científica de Simulação Computacional e auxílio do software FlexSim para avaliar o impacto que a aquisição de um novo equipamento causa na linha de produção. O cenário atual de produção foi modelado de acordo com os dados coletados e validado tanto qualitativa quanto quantitativamente. Foram avaliados quatro cenários de produção, de acordo com projetos estratégicos da empresa e realizado o comparativo entre eles, com base em indicadores do processo produtivo. A partir da análise dos resultados de simulação, identificou-se um cenário de produção em que a taxa de utilização dos equipamentos é acrescida em 7,2% comparando com o cenário atual, além de redução no lead time em 10,9% e redução na quantidade de trabalho em processo em 18,8%.

Os parasitas estão entre os patógenos mais comumente encontrados em seres humanos, sucedendo relatos desde os antigos egípcios. Dessa época até nossos dias, têm-se realizado estudos procurando compreender os parasitas e suas relações com os hospedeiros, no entanto ainda carece de verificações com ampla abrangência das populações. Baseado na importância do tema, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo realizar um levantamento de dados sobre a incidência de parasitoses na população de Coelho Neto e Duque Bacelar no Maranhão. Foi realizada pesquisa de campo por meio de busca de dados, na Secretaria de Saúde de Coelho Neto e na Secretaria de Saúde de Duque Bacelar, localizados no estado do Maranhão. Conforme os dados fornecidos pela Secretaria de Saúde de Coelho Neto e Duque Bacelar, entre os anos 2014 e 2019, foram notificadas 145 doenças parasitarias ao total.
A A PANDEMIA DA COVID-19 E OS NOVOS PARADIGMAS DO ENSINO SUPERIOR BRASILEIRO
Authors: Silva Vanuzia
Published: December 2022

A educação superior brasileira está passando por um momento peculiar em sua história. A pandemia da COVID-19 fez com que as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) alterassem o modus operandi da sua estrutura acadêmica e a transpusesse para ambientes virtuais. Esse movimento trouxe para as universidades um grande desafio de imersão tecnológica o qual, fosse condizente com a sua realidade estrutural e do seu corpo docente e discente. Para isto, estas instituições passaram a formular estratégias buscando suplantar a criticidade do período, introduzindo o Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE) aliado ao uso de ferramentas tecnológicas como Microsoft Teams, Google Meet. etc., que passaram de instrumentos de apoio pedagógico a ferramentas cruciais na manutenção do ensino ou, migrando para um ambiente de aprendizado à distância. O uso destas estratégias foi um marco ao revelar qual era o grau tecnológico das IES públicas e privadas e o olhar que estas instituições possuíam no cenário anterior ao advento da pandemia, sobre a inserção virtual no ambiente acadêmico além de apontar um marco histórico que produziu e produzirá efeitos sobre os pilares da universidade de ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Deste modo, este artigo analisa como a educação superior em ambientes virtuais no Brasil vem ocorrendo e como crise pandêmica afetou as universidades de modo a trilharem caminhos que perpassam a Educação à Distância (EAD) e o Ensino Remoto Emergencial, apresenta-se também uma discussão se essas estratégias ficarão apenas no período pandêmico ou se elas passarão de emergencial para essencial nos currículos acadêmicos pós pandemia.
Temperature dependence of dielectric permittivity in incommensurately modulated phase of ammonium fluoroberyllate

We study the temperature dependence of dielectric permittivity along the polar axis for ferroelectric ammonium fluoroberyllate (AFB) crystal in the vicinity of its phase transition points. The experimental data within incommensurately modulated phase of AFB is compared with the predictions of phenomenological models known from the literature: the Curie-Weiss (CW) law, the generalized Curie-Weiss (GCW) law, and the models by Levanyuk and Sannikov (LS) and by Prelovšek, Levstik and Filipič (PLF) suggested for improper ferroelectrics. It is shown that the LS approach describes the temperature behavior of the dielectric permittivity for the AFB crystal better than the CW, GWC and PLF models. The main physical reasons of this situation are elucidated.
Slow and fast relaxation times of quantum lattice model with local multi-well potentials: phenomenological dynamics for Sn2P2S6 ferroelectric crystals
Authors: Erdem R. , Özüm S. , Güçlü N.
Published: December 2022

As a continuation of the previously published work [Velychko O. V., Stasyuk I. V., Phase Transitions, 2019, 92, 420], a phenomenological framework for the relaxation dynamics of quantum lattice model with multi-well potentials is given in the case of deformed Sn2P2S6 ferroelectric lattice. The framework is based on the combination of statistical equilibrium theory and irreversible thermodynamics. In order to study these dynamics in a connected way we assume that the dipole ordering or polarization (η) and volume deformation (u) can be treated as fluxes and forces in the sense of Onsager theory. From the linear relations between the forces and fluxes, the rate equations are derived and characterized by two relaxation times (τS , τF) which describe the irreversible process near the equilibrium states. The behaviors of τS and τF in the vicinity of ferroelectric phase transitions are studied.
A Deleuzian Interrogation on the Interference of Art and Science
Authors: Xu Li
Published: December 2022

Interdisciplinary research has become more mainstream in the academia as of late. Gilles Deleuze’s theories, especially his critical insight into the relationship between science and art may open new avenues for this kind of research. Deleuze’s ideas are significant, not only because he provides a framework for thinking about nomadic science, but he also clarifies possible criteria for assessing the nature of interdisciplinary experiments. Art “organizes” this chaos in a frame to form a composed chaos that becomes sensory/affective/intensive, but science “organizes” the same chaos into a system of coordinates and forms of measure that produce the appearance of “Nature.” Art and science, in this model, can intersect and intertwine, but Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari never suggest there can be a perfect synthesis between the two. Instead, we can associate the two kinds of creative activities in terms of neighboring planes: planes of composition for art and planes of reference for science. The goal of this paper is to argue that Deleuze and Guattari characterize the interaction between these two planes as one of interference rather than synthesis and shed new light on arts-based research in terms of the three interferences.
Other Perspectives: Extending the Architectural Representation
Authors: Vroman Liselotte , Cannaerts Corneel
Published: December 2022

This paper discusses how the tension between arts and science inherent in the discipline of architecture, can be traced in architectural representations, which are not neutral but actively contribute to the design process, ranging from highly poetic, subjective, and artistic to more exact and objective. Within this paper, we reflect on how to overcome this restrictive perspective implicit in conventional design media by comparing two elective courses that aim to broaden the traditional architectural perspective. In doing so, we take a position in the broader debate on the role of artistic practices within an academic learning environment.
Assets and Investee Condition of Art Education, Practice, and Research
Authors: Nauha Tero
Published: December 2022

This article postulates that MA students of the arts and professional artists need to assess the conditions implicated by financialization and its effect on their practice. What are the options, futures, and risks for an artist? How are intangible assets like reputation, loyalty, or affective capacity evaluated, even priced? In institutional contexts, assetization and functioning as investee are already a necessity for the management of value, risk, and volatility. Through processes of privatization, universities are on their way to becoming strategic hubs that, for their part, start to promote self-assetization. These are included in participatory and care activities or collective and processual practices in the arts.At the same time, students and artists are conditioned by their assets worth investing in. They are becoming investees.
