Consumo e experiência estética
Authors: Martins Pedro
Published: May 2022

Consumo e fruição estética coexistem no repertório radiofônico. A demanda por entretenimento faz pesarem o sensorial e o imediato, enquanto o trabalho sobre a linguagem compreende, por vezes, reflexividade e consciência formal. Considerando perspectivas distintas sobre a música mediada pela indústria cultural, apresento duas leituras díspares do álbum Kid A, do Radiohead, trazendo escutas que variam da adesão resoluta ao consumo cultural a traços de uma hermenêutica musical. Apoiado no pensamento de Theodor Adorno, discuto como esse problema permanece reduzido aos polos da comoditização e da expressão estética. Encerro com apontamentos para uma estética do lapso, pautada em conceitos de Vilém Flusser.

Published: May 2022

A soberania e segurança alimentar são temas que nos últimos anos têm sido bastante abordados na comunidade científica, bem como nos espaços de movimentos sociais e são considerados emergentes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a temática soberania e segurança alimentar, sobretudo compreender como estão sendo abordadas as pesquisas científicas nessa temática, inclusive em um cenário de insegurança alimentar no mundo. Realizou-se uma revisão integrativa da literatura, baseada no método prisma com as perguntas guias: Como as temáticas relacionadas à soberania, à segurança alimentar e à agroecologia foram abordados nos trabalhos desenvolvidos nos últimos 5 anos?  O que esses artigos abordaram sobre os subtemas: mulheres, política pública, sistema de produção e Consumo de alimentos dos agricultores familiares ? Para a busca, utilizou-se os termos “soberania” e “segurança alimentar” em português e inglês “sovereignty” and “food security” Foram selecionados 19 artigos para leitura integral. Houve uma maior concentração de estudos em países do continente africano e da América Latina, como o Brasil. Os estudos de maior destaque, com os subtemas mais referidos, foram os que abordam sistemas de produção (31,57%), seguidos do papel das Mulheres na Segurança e Soberania Alimentar (21,05%), política pública (15,78%) e Consumo de alimentos dos agricultores familiares (10,52%). Neste estudo, foi possível perceber o quanto os planejamentos de ações para novas agendas ambientais para agricultura familiar, sobretudo em contexto de crise sanitária global, são extremamente emergentes. Além disso, é necessário também a permanência do fortalecimento das agriculturas familiar, camponesas, dos povos tradicionais e dos modos de produção agrícola sustentáveis. A análise destes estudos é fundamental para que se possa construir formas de se ampliar o reconhecimento, valorização e visibilidade da agricultura praticada por estes grupos, bem como contribuir em pesquisas e extensão para a comunidade científica.

Published: May 2022

Aim: Rhino-Orbito-Cerebral Mucormycosis (ROCM) is an invasive fungal infection. An under diagnosed and underreported disease in India, it is rapidly fatal without an early diagnosis and treatment. We report the survival rate in our hospital, significant association with sinus involvement and therapy Methods: The clinical and laboratory data collected retrospectively from patients with a diagnosis of invasive zygomycosis, over a four and half year period (January 2015-July 2019) were combined and analysed from medical records. We analyzed clinical features, results of laboratory and radiological examinations, nasal endoscopy, treatment management outcomes of all cases. Results: A total of sixteen cases of invasive ROCM were diagnosed and treated at St Stephens Hospital, Delhi, from January 2015 to July 2019 of which ten were males (62.5%). All were diabetic (100%), DKA (Diabetic Keto Acidosis) and renal impairment was seen in 11 (68.75%) patients. All were given L-Amphotericin B (100%). Thirteen (81.2%) cases underwent surgical procedure. Duration of treatment with L-Amphotericin was significantly associated with improved outcomes (p=0.03). Maxillary and ethmoid sinus involvement was significantly associated with improved outcomes (p=0.02). Diagnosis was based on direct microscopic findings, mycology culture and histopathology findings (EORTC/MSG Consensus Group). Survival rate was 57.25% (9 improved and 7 expired). Conclusion: Duration of treatment with L Amphotericin and maxillary sinus involvement were associated with improved outcomes. In an otherwise lethal disease, rapid administration of Amphotericin B with surgery can go a long way in improving the survival rate in proven/probable mucormycosis.
Technology Law in Legal Education: Recognising the Importance of the Field
Authors: Smith Marcus
Published: May 2022

Technology law is rapidly growing in importance as subject of legal study and scholarship. Although this is beginning to be recognised by accreditation bodies and legal academics, a range of factors contribute to it not being taught as effectively as it should be, including a lack of expertise and the pace at which technology is advancing. Knowledge and understanding of technology law should be recognised as vital for law students and a necessary part of the contemporary law curriculum. Legal education must adapt to ensure students are prepared for the rapidly growing impact of new technologies on the legal system. This purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of the field and propose that it be taught through a core, stand-alone technology law subject within law degrees.

Participación ciudadana: avances y retos pendientes
Authors: Abad Yupanqui Samuel B.
Published: May 2022

La participación es presupuesto fundamental en una democracia. En el Perú existen avances, como la reforma constitucional que permite el voto de los miembros de las Fuerzas Armadas y la Policía Nacional o el incremento del número de mujeres en el Congreso. Empero, subsisten limitaciones para que las personas procesadas privadas de libertad puedan votar, y falta un desarrollo legislativo para la consulta de los pueblos indígenas requerida por el Convenio n.º 169. Además, el régimen unicameral y el reducido número de congresistas (120), no guarda una razonable relación con la población. Entonces resulta importante una reforma que garantice una adecuada representatividad. Así, continúa en agenda la necesidad de garantizar la plena vigencia del derecho de participación en nuestro país.
Rastreando la participación indígena
Authors: Gamboa Balbín César Leonidas
Published: May 2022

Actualmente, se ha producido un serio debate sobre la histórica relación entre los pueblos indígenas y el Estado peruano. Esto ha ocurrido a raíz del conflicto suscitado en el oriente del Perú (Bagua), planteando la necesidad de reformar el marco legal nacional (consulta previa, acceso a recursos naturales, etc.), especialmente en el tema de participación política. Para ello, se deben producir nuevos consensos sobre la base de políticas públicas precisas, coherentes y efectivas, así como una nueva relación de diálogo entre Estado y el movimiento indígena. En ese sentido, es necesario no sólo comprender el presente sino explorar los antecedentes de esta relación y cómo esta historia, especialmente la electoral, se ha desenvuelto más allá de las normas legales, sino en la doctrina jurídica del siglo xix para ver su influencia en las prácticas políticas actuales.

La evolución de los regímenes políticos y el sistema electoral en Latinoamérica
Authors: Wills - Otero Laura , Pérez - Liñan Aníbal
Published: May 2022

¿Pueden los sistemas electorales favorecer o entorpecer la consolidación de la democracia?

Sostenemos que las élites políticas seleccionan sistemas electorales que maximizan sus posibilidades de mantenerse en el poder. Por lo tanto, los gobernantes de regímenes autoritarios prefieren sistemas mayoritarios que minimicen los costos de eliminar a la oposición mientras que los gobernantes de regímenes democráticos se inclinan por seleccionar sistemas proporcionales que minimicen los costos de tolerancia. Por ello, la selección de los sistemas electorales y el grado de democracia se refuerzan entre sí. Este argumento es validado utilizando una nueva base de datos para Latinoamérica y Estados Unidos entre 1903 y 2004.

Published: May 2022

Corona virus Disease (COVID-19) is an acute pandemic which has put the lives of millions of people worldwide at risk during recent times. There is a high demand to develop effective tools and methods to diagnose the COVID infection in people at an early stage to prevent the spread of the disease to a larger community. This paper aims to provide a systematic method for COVID diagnosis using machine learning and deep learning algorithms. The proposed method Hybrid Deep Recurrent Neural Network (HDRNN) is a fusion of Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory-Recurrent Neural Networks (LSTM-RNN) to detect COVID infection efficiently from X-ray samples. CNN is employed in the proposed method primarily to extract the essential features from the X-ray images and LSTM is suitable to classify the COVID affected patients with more fidelity. The dataset used in this work consists of an aggregate of 3470 images including COVID affected and Pneumonia affected samples. The experimental results carried out on the collected dataset with the proposed HDRNN method demonstrated an accuracy of 99.4%, F1 Score 98.7%, Sensitivity of 99.3% and Specificity of 99.2 %.

Published: May 2022

Type 2 diabetes mellitus ((T2DM) is a global public health manifested by hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance. Rice is the main staple food for the world's population but has a high glycemia index (GI) value. Therefore, this research was aimed to produce resistance starch (RS) from black glutinous rice with different methods – autoclave and annealing, freeze-thawing, and acid methanol methods.  The RS content, total phenolic compound content, antioxidant activity, and estimated GI (pGI) were investigated.  Results showed that the autoclave and annealing method yielded highest RS content of 27.33±8.56%, followed by freeze-thawing, 15-day acid methanol, and 30-min acid methanol methods. The RS from the autoclave and annealing method also had highest total phenolic content (61.55±1.19 mg gallic acid/g sample) and antioxidant activity by 2,2-Diphenyil-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH, IC50 of 7.40±0.24 mg/ml) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP, 75.47±0.51 mg tocopherol equivalent/g extract). Moreover, The RS from the autoclave and annealing method also had the lowest pGI (57.32±0.74). In conclusion, the autoclave and annealing process gave the highest yield of RS with the highest total phenolic content and antioxidant activity; and with the lowest GI compared to the freeze-thawing and acid methanol methods.

Published: May 2022

DNNs (Deep Neural Networks) have estimated agricultural but lack comprehensive analysis of findings. The article gives an overview of the existing literature available in DNNs in predicting agricultural productions. This work’s SLRs (Systematic Literature Reviews) were executed to assess most relevant studies. The searches resulted in 456 relevant studies based on quality assessments of which 44 primary studies were selected for this analysis. This work’s examinations include data sources, key motives, targeted crops, algorithms used and features selected. Predominant usage of CNNs (Convolution Neural Networks) was found in the studies as their performances in terms of RMSEs (Root Mean Square Errors) are the best. One serious issue discovered was the absence of large training datasets which give rise to over fits of data and poor model performances. Since, researches look for gaps in studies; it is beneficial to highlight present issues and potential areas for further researches.

WHO defines dementia as a progressive chronic syndrome characterized by deterioration of cognitive function much beyond what is observed in the normal aging process. The impairment in various levels of cognitive functions such as short and long-term memory, abstract thinking, learning capability, orientation, comprehend various tasks, language, and judgment are commonly observed in patients with dementia. Further, the situation can get worsen by loss of emotional control, social behavior, motivation, etc., and this disability makes the dependency. A detailed literature review was performed through MEDLINE, Google, PubMed, Medline, Eric, Frontiers, and other online journals using the terms “Dementia”, “Risk factors of dementia”, “its types”, “prevalence”, and “available treatments of dementia”. The present article was based on these relevant terminologies. Progressive deterioration in cognition and motor functions is an undesired consequence of dementia, which has very limited diagnostic and therapeutic options. So, its quite mandatory to discover new diagnostic techniques as well as therapeutic strategies to conquer the challenge.  Since pharmacological intervention only provides symptomatic relief, more and more non-pharmacological therapies should be invented in order to delay or prevent unhealthy aging.

The formulated flours were extruded using a Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta fabricated laboratory single-screw extruder at barrel temperature (100ºC), feed moisture content of 10%, and screw speed (90 rpm). The proximate composition, mineral composition, amino acid, and anti-nutritional were standard methods. The following range of values were obtained for carbohydrate (30.51-70.17%), protein (10.23-17.16%), fat (7.55-10.66%), moisture (1.01-8.10%), fibre (3.21-3.81%) and ash (8.00-12.05%) content. The extruded products' carbohydrate, protein, fat, and ash contents increased while moisture and fat contents reduced. The extruded products' functional properties increased compared with the flours except for oil absorption capacity. The saponin and tannin levels were reduced, possibly due to extrusion. The highest amino acid value was glutamic acid. It was observed from the sensory evaluation that sample FSB was more acceptable to the panelists.

Published: May 2022

The demand for cargo transportation is largely due to the dynamics and structure of changes in production volumes in the country, as well as the viability of enterprises and organizations in all sectors of the economy. The article deals with the issues of studying transport and technological complexes on simulation statistical modification in order to optimize road transport logistics at the enterprise. Modeling used in the study allowed to discover the most effective methods of timely management of transport and technological complexes and implement them through an automated information system. The current difficulties in this area were also considered. Among the most urgent tasks in this field at present are the problems of creating effective methods for solving complex weakly formalized optimization problems and making conclusions through the use of new methods of computational intelligence, such as evolutionary modeling, fuzzy genetic and adaptive algorithms. When building today's logistics systems, the whole life cycle of a product is planned from the process of extracting raw resources, its transportation to the production warehouse to the transportation of finished products to the consumer. It should be taken into consideration that the economy and transportation mutually affect each other. Both the development of the economy causes an increase in transportation, and the high level and possibilities of transportation services have a beneficial effect on the level of investment and the growth rate of the economy in the region.

Traumatic Dislocation of the Proximal Tibiofibular Joint: A Systematic Review and 10-year Experience From a Level 1 Trauma Center
Authors: Rajan Prashant V. , Ramski David E. , Romeo Nicholas M.
Published: May 2022

Introduction:

Traumatic proximal tibiofibular joint dislocations occur infrequently and are typically the result of high-energy trauma. These injuries can be a marker of limb injury severity because patients often sustain vascular injury and are at high risk of amputation. The purpose of this study was to present a systematic review of traumatic proximal tibiofibular joint dislocations and compare rates of associated injuries with a retrospective series of patients at a level 1 trauma center. The secondary objective was to report rates and clinical predictors of limb amputation.

Methods:

A systematic review was conducted, identifying three studies meeting eligibility criteria. A retrospective chart review was conducted identifying 17 skeletally mature patients with proximal tibiofibular dislocation treated from January 2010 to February 2021. A chart review extracted patient demographics, fracture patterns, open fracture, preoprative and postoperative peroneal nerve injury, vascular injury, and amputation. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify clinical predictors of outcomes.

Results:

Sixteen of 17 proximal tibiofibular injuries (94.1%) were associated with fracture, most commonly tibial shaft (n = 11, 68.75%). Twelve of 17 fractures (76.5%) were open. Five vascular injuries (29.4%) occurred requiring surgical intervention. Seven (41.2%) preoperative peroneal nerve deficits were noted; six had persistent deficits postoperatively or underwent amputation (average follow-up 31.3 ± 32.6 months). Two patients in the sample without preoperative peroneal nerve deficits were noted to exhibit them after fixation. Eight patients (47%) underwent an amputation, 7 (87.5%) of whom had an open fracture and 4 (50%) of whom had documented vascular injury.

Discussion:

Traumatic proximal tibiofibular fractures indicate severe injury to the lower extremity with high risk for nerve injury and possible amputation. Patients who present with vascular injury and open fracture in association with proximal tibiofibular joint disruption may be at elevated risk of amputation.
Country Note: Arm’s Length Principle from a Swiss Perspective: Profit Allocation to Inbound and Outbound Permanent Establishments
Authors: Chand Vikram , Martin Céline , Burkhalter Natassia
Published: May 2022

Switzerland continues to be one of the most preferred locations for many businesses when setting up a headquarters or permanent establishment (PE) structures. Thus, obtaining tax certainty and predictability is crucial for such structures. Swiss tax law does not provide for detailed rules for international profit allocation and particularly the arm’s length principle (ALP) for the determination of an enterprise’s profit. Therefore, the Swiss tax authorities and courts largely rely on general national tax law principles for their assessment of the allocation and calculation of the taxable profit of a company or a PE in Switzerland. They have developed a sophisticated system of profit correction in order to determine the relevant taxation basis, in particular when prices between related entities or within PE relationships are deemed to not be set at arm’s length. This practice is continuously evolving, and the Authorized OECD Approach (AOA) is increasingly integrated in the assessment of each individual case. Against this backdrop, the present contribution discusses the application of the ALP from a Swiss tax treaty and Swiss national law perspective as applicable to transactions among separate entities as well as to head office and PE relations. With respect to the latter, the reader will find an overview of the profit allocation rules applicable in domestic and international cases. Moreover, for illustration, two case studies are developed and analysed for cross-border relations with fixed place PEs (inbound and outbound cases) and an example is provided for the interaction between international and domestic profit allocation.

Trust or Power: Improving Tax Compliance by Self-Employed Professionals
Authors: Ogembo Daisy
Published: May 2022

This article considers non-compliance with tax legislation by self-employed professionals, using qualitative data on the tax compliance attitudes of lawyers and dentists in Kenya. The main argument is that corruption and inadequate service delivery, over which the revenue authority has no control, lower tax morale and limit the effectiveness of trust in the authority in increasing voluntary compliance. It is further argued that, under such circumstances, stringent detection and enforcement measures would be more helpful in enhancing these taxpayers’ compliance. This research contributes to the literature on the slippery slope framework on trust and power; most of the empirical work on the framework derives from countries with lower levels of corruption and better public service delivery than most African countries. Thus, this article enhances the understanding of the relationship between trust and power in the context of tax compliance among professionals in Kenya and provides some beneficial insight that may be relevant for other African countries.

Taxpayers’ Data Protection: Do International, Regional, and Domestic Instruments Guarantee Adequate Rights in Tax (A)EoI?
Authors: Liotti Belisa Ferreira
Published: May 2022

Ongoing developments in terms of internalization and digitalization of the economy have resulted in an ever-developing worldwide shift towards a data-driven socioeconomic model whereby personal data has become one of the most valuable assets. The tax environment has not gone unscathed. As relevant sources and users of data, governments are increasingly exploiting technologies in pursuit of greater revenue collection and tax audits for which many measures have been adopted internationally, regionally, and nationally to strengthen tax cooperation and enhance international tax exchange of information (EoI) among jurisdictions. A remarkable outcome is the new standard of automated processing and transfer of bulks of taxpayers’ data that, albeit desired by tax administrations, inherently raises concerns over the risks of violation of data protection rights. In this article, the author analyses whether existing international instruments (OECD), regional regulations (EU), and domestic data protection laws (Brazil) effectively safeguard taxpayers’ rights to data protection, particularly in (A)EoI procedures. Building upon the findings of this analysis, the author concludes that an adequate and satisfactory level of protection has not yet been implemented globally and proposes a temporary solution for the issue in the absence of specific instruments dealing with taxpayers’ data protection in (A)EoI procedures.

Article: Improving the Relationship Between Tax Authorities and Taxpayers in Brazil
Authors: Oliveira Phelippe Toledo Pires de
Published: May 2022

Brazilian tax authorities have traditionally had an adversarial relationship with taxpayers. Recent initiatives, however, show a paradigm shift that may bring taxpayers and tax authorities together. The country has made increasing efforts to reduce tax-related compliance costs over the past years. Additionally, the Brazilian tax administration has gradually improved the services available to taxpayers and treated them as clients rather than just ‘taxpayers’. Moreover, taxpayers have participated in the rulemaking process, notably in respect of tax guidance. The recent implementation of tax settlement agreements may be considered as significantly altering traditional concepts as it broke long-established misconceptions. Other initiatives to further enhance their relationship may be underway, including improving tax rulings and the mutual agreement procedure (MAP), cooperative compliance programs, and arbitration in tax matters.

Policy Note: Smooth Implementation Of Carbon Taxation: An Overview Of The Main Proposals In The UN Handbook
Authors: Grau Ruiz María Amparo
Published: May 2022

The design and the administration of carbon taxes must be carefully considered when introducing (or reinforcing) them into fiscal systems. How should the administrative tasks be allocated? Who should be involved? How should regional context situations be approached? How can the stakeholders’ voice be heard for addressing the good administration challenge? How can clear guidance be provided and facilitation improved? All of these questions should be answered. Additionally, specific attention must be paid to the interaction with other economic instruments, the possible uses of the obtained revenue, and the critical issue of public acceptability. This article succinctly analyses all of these topics.
