LESSONS LEARNED FROM A PREDICTION AND POSTDICTION OF A SHAKE TABLE TEST ON AN UNREINFORCED MASONRY AGGREGATE
Authors: Tomić Igor , Beyer Katrin
Published: May 2023

Historical centers of Europe and Croatia are often formed by unreinforced masonry building aggregates that developed as the layout of the city or village was densified. In these aggregates, adjacent buildings can share structural walls with an older and a newer unit connected either by interlocking or just by a layer of mortar. Observations after for example the recent Central Italy and Croatia earthquakes showed that joints between the buildings were often damaged. This indicated a possible out-of-phase behaviour of units which can lead to the interaction which is demanding to capture with numerical models. The analysis of such building aggregates is difficult due to the lack of guidelines, as the advances were impeded by the scarce experimental data. The SERA project AIMS (Seismic Testing of Adjacent Interacting Masonry Structures) comprised a shake-table test of an aggregate of two buildings under two horizontal components of dynamic excitation, accompanied by the blind prediction competition. Each group was provided with a complete set of construction drawings, material properties, testing sequence and the list of measurements to be reported. After the results were reported, participants were able to compare the results, apply actual accelerations, and update their models within the postdiction phase. The prediction and postdiction of EPFL model were based on an equivalent frame model with a newly developed macroelement able to simulate both the in-plane and out-of-plane behaviour of unreinforced masonry piers, and a newly developed 3D material model allowing to simulate the interaction between the units. This paper deals with the prediction submitted by the EPFL team and discusses the results and possible pitfalls in modelling assumptions leading to unsatisfying prediction. Lessons learned are applied by updating the model for the postdiction analyses and discussing the updated results with the goal to improve the way we model unreinforced masonry aggregates using the equivalent frame approach.

Published: May 2023

The structural response due to the seismic load depends on the dynamic structural properties and incoming ground motion. Although for low amplitude ground motions the material behaviour is assumed to be linear, as the amplitude increases the dynamic properties of the structures are changed so that the nonlinear effects should be considered. In determining the nonlinear characteristics of structures, the vibrational periods are important step to be followed. On the other hand, the local site effects have impact on earthquake motion alteration which in most cases contribute to the dynamic amplification of the ground motions. The definition of natural periods of existing buildings including the foundation structure of the whole system can be done by in-situ experimental methods. These experimental methods being cost-effective are constituted by various techniques relating the measurement of structural natural vibrations. This work sums up the experience of UKIM-IZIIS in measuring the in-situ dynamic characteristics of different types of buildings in N. Macedonia. The measurements are based on ambient vibration using the newest technological methods. The established database apart from the vibrational periods includes the geometrical and structural properties of the measured structures which are shown in this paper. The results have shown that apart from geometry the material characteristics play important roles in definition of dynamic characteristics of the structures. The inclusion of brick masonry infills in the final establishment of the dynamic properties plays important role and should be considered in the analysis of the structural analysis. Last but not least is the definition of representative hazard which indirectly influences the dynamics of the structures.
SEISMIC RESILIENCE OF THE SCHOOLS IN BANJA LUKA- SOME CONSTRUCTIONAL AND PREPAREDNESS ASPECTS
Authors: Šipka Vesna , Lalić Velibor , Radovanović Slavica , Sandić Cvjetko
Published: May 2023

Banja Luka is a city which, in October 1969, experienced the strongest earthquake in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On that occasion 2/3 of the school buildings were severely damaged or destroyed. Banja Luka students were forced to attend that school year throughout the former Yugoslavia. Seismic risk management for schools on the territory of Banja Luka is significant from the aspect of protecting students as a vulnerable category of society. It is also important observing the fact that school facilities are used as facilities for temporary mass accommodation of the affected population during emergencies. Examining the level of earthquake protection, i.e. seismic resilience of the schools in Banja Luka, as a city with a high seismic hazard, implies the resistance of school buildings (material resilience) but also the preparedness of school communities (administration, students and teachers) to react properly in the event of an earthquake (non-material resilience). The results of the research indicate weaknesses in both the material and non-material resilience of schools. The structural aspects of school resilience include the seismic hazard of the area, the soil at school locations in terms of the expected seismic effect, the age and poor maintenance of the buildings, and the undefined ownership of school buildings. Regarding non-structural resistance, a low level of carrying out preventive activities such as education, training and practical exercises for dealing with earthquakes was identified as well as inadequate planning documentation.
EQIVALENT FRAME MODELS FOR FRP-STRENGTHENED MASONRY BUILDINGS
Authors: Božulić Ivana , Vanin Francesco , Beyer Katrin
Published: May 2023

Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) strengthening can be applied to decrease the seismic vulnerability of existing masonry buildings, both with regard to in-plane and out-of-plane failure mechanisms. Experimentally, the impact of strengthening solutions has been thoroughly studied. There are, however, few efficient and reliable numerical modeling approaches that can accurately capture the effect of such strengthening on the seismic response of the masonry building. Therefore, we herein develop and validate a modeling approach to capture the effect of FRP strengthening on the behaviour of masonry walls. To model this effect, we use a recently developed macro-element, which can capture both in-plane and out-of-plane failure modes. In the macro-element, the intervention is modelled by adding ﬁbres representing the longitudinal FRP strips to the section model. These fibres were modelled as linear elastic in tension up to the failure with a zero compressive strength. Transversal FRP strips effect the shear strength, and in the macro-element, this is accounted for by increasing the cohesion in the equation for the shear strength. To validate the model, we also compare the numerical simulations with existing experimental results obtained from the literature. Overall, the proposed modeling approach accurately predicts the in-plane and out-of-plane response, implying that equivalent frame models can predict the response of masonry buildings with FRP-strengthened walls. To conclude, the models described in this paper can be used for a time-efficient assessment. Moreover, it can help in selecting the optimal strengthening approach for future retrofitting. This aspect is especially important for the cultural heritage structures, where excessive retrofitting should be avoided.
THE EFFECT OF COLUMN WEB STIFFENERS ON MOMENT RESISTANCE AND DUCTILITY OF EXTENDED END-PLATE BOLTED CONNECTION
Authors: Gjukaj Anita , Cvetanovski Petar , Gashi Ferit
Published: May 2023

Extended end-plate bolted connections as moment-resistant connections between beam and column usually fall in the semi-rigid partial strength category. Simplicity, duplication, and economy made this joint widely used in steel frame structures. This type of joint is prevalent nowadays which requires knowledge of the entire nonlinear moment-rotation behaviour of the joints. Using ABAQUS FE software in this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) is developed to identify the effect of different geometrical parameters on the behaviour of extended end-plate bolted connection with four bolts per horizontal row as a semi-rigid beam-to-column joint. The component method which, is adopted in Eurocode 3, parts 1-8, provides detailed application rules for the design of bolted end-plate connections when most of them are limited to configurations with two bolts only in each horizontal row, without column web stiffeners. By using the finite element model, a parametric study is conducted to study the influence of column web stiffeners (compression and tension stiffeners, K stiffeners, and double web stiffeners) on three main properties of extended end-plate bolted connection, moment capacity (Mj,Rd), initial rotational stiffness (Sj.in) and rotation capacity (Φcd) under monotonic loading, using finit element (FE) analyses. The analytical research work, done here gives specific attention to the characterization of joint ductility, which is one of the critical behaviours of semi-rigid connections compared with rigid or pinned ones based on finite element analyses.

Published: May 2023

Strengthening and increasing the capacity of load-bearing walls of buildings after an earthquake is a challenge that requires special study. A viable option is strengthening using standard cement-based materials. This paper will first present and discuss the buildings with load-bearing walls that have shown earthquake survival ability, as well as some methods to improve their performance. The example that is used for discussion is a building that has suffered significant damage from the 2019 earthquake in Albania. The paper will present the calculation of the performance and load-carrying capacity of this building with the load-bearing walls made of clay and silicate bricks after an earthquake of magnitude M=6.2 Richter. The building comprises load-bearing walls and was built in the 1960s-70s. The materials characteristics used in calculations are derived from laboratory tests and on-site non-destructive testing. The results obtained from the calculation of the building before and after the earthquake and after the reinforcing of the building will be compared. The strengthening of walls is made using cement-based materials. The calculations are performed using SAP2000 and ETABS software and include static and dynamic performance. The results of the calculations will be analyzed to conclude the effectiveness of the rehabilitation of the buildings. The environmental and socio-economic impacts on society from the strengthening of buildings damaged by earthquakes will also be presented.

The Supreme Court of Nepal is the highest court in Nepal. The Supreme Court of Nepal is an important building, built of brick in mud masonry structure and over 54 years of age which got moderate structural damage due to the recent Gorkha earthquake 2015. The need for safety of the building lying at high seismic zone in Nepal, the Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Retrofit design was carried out to improve the building response in future earthquakes. The seismic vulnerability of the building was assessed after the following:(a) historical investigation about the building, (b) detailed geometrical investigation, (c) identification of materials by means of surveys and literature indications, (d) Detailed Intrusive Tests, (f) Detail linear static analysis of the building by means of a Finite Element (FE) model. After these steps, the FE model was used to assess the safety level of the building by means of linear static analyses and identifying a proper retrofitting strategy for this building. Both side wall jacketing and splint and bandage in some inner walls using the bar wire mesh was carried out for retrofitting this building.
SEISMIC RETROFITTING OF POST-WWII MID-RISE UNREINFORCED MASONRY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN THE BALKANS
Authors: Brzev Svetlana , Blagojević Predrag , Cvetković Radovan
Published: May 2023

There is a significant building stock of the existing low- and mid-rise unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings constructed after World War II in Serbia and neighbouring countries. Numerous buildings of this typology collapsed in the devastating 1963 Skopje, North Macedonia earthquake, causing fatalities, injuries, and property losses, and experienced damage in a few recent earthquakes in the region, including the 2010 Kraljevo, Serbia earthquake and the 2020 Petrinja, Croatia earthquake. These buildings are 3- to 5-storey high, have URM walls and rigid reinforced concrete (RC) or semi-prefabricated concrete and masonry floor slabs, usually with a RC ring beam at each floor level. The paper will provide an overview of seismic retrofitting approaches for these buildings, starting from provisions of design codes which were previously followed in Serbia and former Yugoslavia as well as Eurocode 8 (Part 3). Conventional seismic retrofitting technologies based on RC wall overlays which were applied in past earthquakes, including the 2010 Kraljevo earthquake, will be presented and their advantages and disadvantages will be discussed. Finally, a case study of a building in Kraljevo which was damaged in the 2010 earthquake and subsequently retrofitted, will be presented, including the results of seismic analysis and design solution. The paper should be of interest to engineers and academics interested in seismic retrofitting of masonry buildings.
NONLINEAR STATIC AND DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF A TYPICAL MASONRY BUILDING IN PALMOTIĆEVA STREET IN ZAGREB
Authors: Jusufbašić Vanesa , Medić Senad , Uroš Mario
Published: May 2023

In this study, nonlinear static pushover and dynamic time-history analyses of a typical masonry building situated on Palmotićeva street in downtown Zagreb were performed. The building was erected in 1922 before any seismic codes were introduced in practice. It has a basement, four stories, an attic (total height equal to ca. 23m), and an asymmetric plan consisting of two connected parts: a street part (24.4x12 m) and a courtyard part (10.6x12 m). The floor structure consists mainly of wooden beams except above the basement, where the RC slab was installed. The solid brick masonry walls with variable thicknesses (15-90 cm) are evenly distributed in both directions. Two numerical macro-models were created employing Diana 10.4. Engineering masonry constitutive law was used to describe the highly nonlinear behavior of masonry walls which can crush, crack or fail in shear. Three numerical models were created describing the current damaged state and the possible strengthening with rigid floor diaphragms. The response of the building was assessed in terms of capacity curves, inter-story drifts, and cracking patterns.
The production of agricultural space: conflict threads between peasantry and agribusiness
Authors: Lima Wylamys Santos de , Silva Patrick Oliveira
Published: May 2023

The field has been undergoing significant changes in the way of producing, in the techniques applied, and in the relations of production deriving, mainly, from the agricultural and agrarian policies implemented by the actions of the State, articulated with the interests of capital in multiple scales. In this sense, this research seeks to analyze the processes engendered by the metabolism of capital about the production and reproduction of agrarian space through the threads leading to the conflict between agribusiness and peasantry, having as spatial cut the municipalities of Simão Dias and Poço Verde in Sergipe and Coruripe in Alagoas. The methodological procedures used in this work are the bibliographical research, mainly of texts of the discipline of Agrarian Theory taught in the Graduate Program in Geography – PPGEO, of the Federal University of Sergipe, and readings in the research group. The research was based on a Historical-Dialectical Materialist reading of the conflict between the logic of peasant production and the logic of agribusiness production, inscribed in the interaction between capital and labor. The advance of agribusiness restricts family peasant production with the establishment of monoculture as the only possible planting model and uses the logic of capitalist agriculture to submit peasant production to the market, at the same time, which makes work in the field precarious. In the case of Sergipe, the main conflict materializes through the submission of peasant income. And, in the case of Alagoas, the appropriation of the precariousness of work with the intensification of flywheel work.

Introduction: Chronic endometritis (EC) is a disease of continuous inflammation caused by bacterial pathogens such as Enterobacteriaceae, Enterococcus, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Mycoplasma, and Ureaplasma. In addition to being poorly investigated, it can be found in up to 40% of infertile patients. EC has been linked to adverse reproductive outcomes such as repeated implantation failure (RIF) and recurrent miscarriage. Objective: The objective of our study is to evaluate the impact of antibiotic treatment on the obstetric prognosis of patients. Methodology: This is a literature review on the use of antibiotics as therapy for chronic endometritis, elaborated through consultations in the main scientific databases. Results: Patients with cured chronic endometritis had a higher pregnancy rate and live birth rate compared to women with persistent disease. In this bias, current studies show that treatment with oral antibiotics against EC may be a promising therapeutic option for infertile women with RIF. Conclusion: It is concluded that antibiotic treatment improves RIF and decreases the miscarriage rate, although they have a failure rate of 10% and there is a lack of well-designed prospective studies that corroborate this finding. Finally, research on associations with corticosteroids and local administration is necessary, as some studies have brought positive results.

Context: Malnutrition is considered worldwide as an important burden because it provokes serious damage in several physiological and metabolic mechanisms, among them the hepatic function. Currently, natural products are being used to reduce the negative impact of some pathological disorders in liver. Pleurotus genus of edible mushrooms has shown a wide spectrum of medicinal effects, but its role in the management of liver complications associated to malnutrition is not clear. Aims: To evaluate the restoration of hepatic function in BALB/c malnourished mice, orally administered with a crude water extract (CW-P) from Pleurotus ostreatus fruiting bodies. Methods: Animals (8-week old female BALB/c mice) were starved for 3 days and then refed with commercial diet supplemented with or without CW-P (100 mg/kg) for 8 days. Serum ALP, GGT and amylase activities, hepatic enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP, LDH, GGT), and liver histological examination were assayed. Results: CW-P (34.3 % proteins, 42.6 % carbohydrates and 3.8 g/ 100 g of phenolics) administered to malnourished mice: (i) increased total serum proteins concentration that was correlated with the stimulation in liver protein anabolism, (ii) alleviated hepatic damage markers such as decrease serum ALP levels as well as, in ALP, GGT y AST activities in liver samples, and (iii) improved liver histological architecture similar to control group with decreased lipid accumulation. Conclusions: CW-P supplementation favored liver restoration in malnourished mice. Nutritional interventions with this mushroom extract may be suggested to prevent liver complications associated to malnutrition.
Efficacy, safety and tolerability of Tiger Balm® ointments: a systematic review and a meta-analysis of prevalence
Authors: Antonelli Michele , Donelli Davide , Valussi Marco
Published: May 2023

Context: Tiger Balm® (TB®) ointments are multi-purpose branded Chinese topical remedies, often used for pain relief and purchasable in many countries as over-the-counter medications. Aims: To assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of TB® ointments. Methods: Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Google Scholar, PEDro, and the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry were systematically searched for relevant articles. The quality of included studies on the efficacy of TB® ointments was evaluated with dedicated NIH tools. Retrieved evidence was then summarized and critically appraised. Results: After article screening and selection, 12 studies were finally included in the present review (five on TB® ointments efficacy, whereas seven on their safety and tolerability). Two cases of dermatitis and one of cheilitis likely ascribable to the use of TB® ointments have been reported. Based on available studies, it might be estimated that around 4% [95% CI, 3%-5%] of patients with history of contact skin allergy could be positive if patch tested with TB® ointments, therefore caution is recommended in the use of TB® among these subjects. Conclusions: According to retrieved evidence, TB® ointments might be useful for the management of pain due to tension headache, and they seem capable of increasing leg blood flow if combined with massage. Considering available evidence on topical products with camphor, TB® ointments shouldn’t be used in children, as well as in pregnant or lactating women. Chronic use, large amounts of balm, and the application on damaged skin must be avoided too. Further studies are recommended.
Developing Digital Empowerment Programs to Enhance the Marketing Performance of Private Islamic Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Riofita Hendra
Published: May 2023

The sustainability of higher education should be supported by marketing strategies that enhance marketing performance and attract a higher number of prospective students. Considering the decision of prospective students to attend a particular institution is always motivated by the information they obtain on that institution’s achievements, this study aims to develop digital network empowerment and digital information sharing activities based on the resource-based view model. In addition, considering digital services have not yet had a conclusive effect on marketing performance, this study also aims to develop digital service recovery to enhance the effect of digital network empowerment and digital information sharing on marketing performance. Primary data were collected using a questionnaire sent to the management teams of Indonesian private Islamic higher education institutions via a Google form link. The data were processed using SPSS and Amos. The findings demonstrate that digital network empowerment and digital information sharing have a very significant effect on marketing performance, but digital service recovery does not. However, digital service recovery has a very significant effect on digital network empowerment and digital information sharing. The findings illustrate that digital network empowerment and digital information sharing can contribute to the resource-based view model to enhance marketing performance.
Contemporary Narratives of Leftist Islam Movements in Indonesia and Turkey: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Robby Hadza Min Fadhli , Maulidan Muhammad , Rizky Zuliyan M.
Published: May 2023

This research analyses the contemporary narratives of leftist Islam movements being developed as a counter-narrative to dominant Islamic discourse in Indonesia and Turkey. These leftist Islam movements were introduced under different circumstances in the two countries. In Indonesia, leftist Islam was initially promoted by Islamic scholars who were interacting with Marxist references. This was shown in the cases of Haji Misbach, who was one of Indonesia’s – and the world’s – first leftist Muslim figures. In the case of Turkey, some leftist Islamic movements were inspired by the modern Turkish Marxist movement, which emerged in the middle of the twentieth century and was eventually combined with Islamic elements. This research argues that as both Indonesian and Turkish governments are consolidating their modes of authoritarian neoliberal governance, combined with increasing religiosity, the narratives of leftist Islam are re-emerging as a way to provide socio-political criticisms and to formulate alternative ideas on the role of Islam in improving the livelihood of Muslims in Indonesia and Turkey. This research engages with several cases of leftist Islamic movements in Indonesia and Turkey. In Indonesia, this research takes the examples of FNKSDA (Nahdliyyin Front for Natural Resource Sovereignty) and its media outlet Islam Bergerak (Islam on the Move) which have had an important role in organising leftist Islamic movement in Indonesia during the 2010s. In the case of Turkey, we examine the role of Antikapitalist Müslümanlar (Anti-Capitalist Muslims), also known as Kapitalizmle Mücadele Derneği (Association for Fight against Capitalism). This research identifies the socio-political origins, main ideas, goals, and strategies of the contemporary leftist Islam movements in Indonesia and Turkey.

Published: May 2023

The implementation of wind farms in the Istmo of Tehuantepec is a clear example of the use of the green economy as a strategy for capitalist accumulation, based on the use of the discourse of environmental mitigation to ensure the accumulation of large volumes of capital, for the benefit of national and transnational corporations. All this at the cost of the territorial rights of peasant societies, the dispossession of their resources and the destruction of their cultural landscape. Wind energy has become a symbol of the type of "sustainable" development sought by the new local, state and federal administrations. They promote social and environmental impact studies that consolidate wind projects as the option for the energy transition, where the only difficulty is the lack of adequate negotiation spaces regarding land rent. The wind potential in the Istmo of Tehuantepec is imperative, as it favors the development companies, limiting the benefits for local communities and increasing social rejection to the projects.

A FONOESTILÍSTICA NA GRAMÁTICA EM TEXTOS, DE LEILA LAUAR SARMENTO: BREVES APONTAMENTOS
Authors: BRAZ Rafael Francisco
Published: May 2023

Apesar de muitas discussões e o surgimento de diversos métodos e abordagens para o ensino de Língua Portuguesa, observamos que o método tradicional de ensino de língua ainda é recorrente atualmente, especialmente quando pensamos o ensino de Gramática. Para tanto, objetivamos investigar os pontos de fonética e fonologia que a Gramática em Textos (2012), de Leila Lauar Sarmento, abarca, principalmente, em sua obra, nas atividades no tocante à fonoestilística. Esta pesquisa se justifica pela necessidade de considerarmos a parte de fonoestilística no âmbito dos estudos fonéticos e fonológicos, pois muitas das vezes não é referida em manuais de língua portuguesa e, também, não estudada em sala devido ao currículo de ensino. Assim, por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa de caráter bibliográfico e documental, utilizamos as considerações teóricas de Silva (2021), Seara, Nunes e Lazzarotto-Vilcão (2021), Roberto (2016) e Cagliari (2009) que tratam das definições de fonética e fonologia. No tocante a estilista e à fonoestilística tomamos por base os argumentos críticos de Câmara Júnior (1978), Bueno (1964), Monteiro (1991) e Martins (1997) e dos gramáticos Azeredo (2008), Bechara (2009) e Castilho e Elias (2015). Como resultados alcançados, percebemos que o uso da fonoestilística é abordado de forma significativa nas atividades que tratam do tema de fonética. Palavras-chave: Fonologia. Fonética. Fonoestilística. Ensino de Gramática.
A ANÁLISE LINGUÍSTICA NO CURRÍCULO REFERÊNCIA DE MINAS GERAIS: APROPRIAÇÕES DA BNCC

Published: May 2023

O presente estudo tenciona analisar criticamente a proposta do Currículo Referência de Minas Gerais – CRMG –, principalmente nas apropriações feitas da Base Nacional Comum Curricular – BNCC – para o eixo de Análise Linguística – AL. Para isso, parte-se de um recorte temático das habilidades desse eixo que constam no CRMG para o sexto e o sétimo anos do Ensino Fundamental II. Como objetivos específicos, verifica-se a abordagem dos níveis de AL propostos por Bezerra e Reinaldo (2013) e apontam-se os aspectos satisfatórios e aqueles cuja revisão é necessária. Parte-se da hipótese de que o incentivo à formação continuada é crucial para o desenvolvimento concreto da prática da AL, tratando-se de uma questão metodológica subjacente a qualquer implementação curricular. Como conclusões, constata-se que as adaptações do currículo serão mais exitosas se os professores assumirem um posicionamento crítico diante das habilidades para avaliá-las, compreender suas proposições e determinar as melhores formas de desenvolvê-las. Espera-se que tais observações incitem um processo de revisão do CRMG ou, ao menos, agucem o olhar crítico dos docentes para as habilidades, a fim de que a inserção da AL se efetive de modo produtivo nas aulas de Língua Portuguesa.

Published: May 2023

O artigo apresenta resultados de pesquisa que descrevem e analisam as práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas pelas professoras alfabetizadoras para o ensino da leitura e da escrita durante o ensino remoto emergencial ocorrido nos anos de 2020 e 2021, na Rede Municipal de Belo Horizonte. O objetivo deste artigo é socializar os dados emergentes de uma das categorias construídas na pesquisa. A metodologia parte de uma abordagem qualitativa, com o estudo de caso, em que foi utilizado questionário,  entrevista semiestruturada e análise de conteúdo, tendo como material empírico as respostas de três professoras alfabetizadoras. Os resultados evidenciaram cinco categorias: relação família/escola, uso das Tecnologias TDIC durante o ensino remoto, o planejamento com as habilidades da BNCC, afetividade entre professora e alunos durante a pandemia e a formação inicial/continuada. Este artigo trata da primeira categoria: a grande defasagem para alunos daquelas famílias que não conseguiram, por diversos motivos, estabelecer o vínculo com a escola. A partir de contribuições do referencial teórico (SOARES, 2020; ALFAREDE, 2020; TARTIF, 2014, dentre outros) e dados da pesquisa, concluiu-se que as políticas públicas municipais devem colocar em debate estratégias para fortalecer a relação família e escola, especialmente para aqueles que ficaram à margem da escola nesse biênio e seguir buscando a recomposição da aprendizagem das crianças mais atingidas, tendo em vista, que o protagonismo docente, neste período, ressignificou suas práticas pedagógicas.

لطالما شكل الفساد مصدر قلق في العراق فقبل عام 1990، لم يكن هناك أحد يستطيع أن يميز بين ما هو مملوك للدولة وما هو مملوك لحزب البعث، ولكن الفساد الم يكن منتشر في العراق بشكل كبير كما هو الان، إلاّ أنه وبعد الحصار الدولي الذي أدّى إلى دمار هائل في البنية التحتية المدنية العراقية. وكانت النتائج كارثية على اقتصاد البلاد: فازداد الفقر زيادًة حادة وانخفضت رواتب القطاع العام، الأمر الذي أجبر الحكومة على الضغط على الشركات الدولية من أجل دفع رشاوى كبيرة لقاء منحها العقود فأصبح الفساد البسيط في كل مكان إلاّ ان الفساد الكبير أصبح أكثر بروزاً في الوقت الحالي.

إذا كان الفساد ونهب استغلال ثروات الشعوب ظاهرة قديمة في غالبية بلدان العالم، فقد تطورت هذه الظاهرة وتفشت واصبحت منتشرة في بلاد المعمورة كافة، بغض النظر عن أنظمتها السياسية.

وإذا كانت ظاهرة الفساد قد أصبحت ظاهرة عالمية وليست محلية، إلا أن أهم مراحل مكافحته تبقى خاضعة للقوانين المحلية في كل دولة، وهو ما يشجع على الاستفادة من تجارب وممارسات الدول، ويبني الثقة المتبادلة والعلاقات بين الدول المتعاونة.

 كما أن ازدياد ظاهرة الفساد وغسيل الأموال وتهريبها خارج البلدان للتهرب من العقاب، أدى إلى مواجهة هذه الظاهرة والحد من أثارها السلبية على الاقتصاد والحياة الاجتماعية، ومن هذه الدول التي تعاني من الظاهرة،الدول العربية التي عاشت تداعيات الربيع العربي وتورط كبار المسئولين فيها.

Rechtliches Gehör bei grenzüberschreitenden Gerichtsverfahren im digitalen Zeitalter
Authors: Branovitskiy Konstantin
Published: May 2023

This book examines how the right to a fair hearing of foreign litigants can be preserved in the face of the progressive digitalisation of national judicial systems. While the classical approach of international civil procedure law relies primarily on the written form, we find an advanced digitalisation in domestic communication. In order to guarantee the principle of the protection of the right to be heard also in cross-border judicial proceedings, the standards of digital communication must also be realised for the cooperation between states and their central authorities and courts. Fundamental procedural guarantees must not be violated even with pragmatic access to technology. The perspective chosen by the authors is not limited to the European Judicial Area.

Authors: Lind Franziska
Published: May 2023

In legal discourse, predictive policing has so far mainly been examined with regard to the possibilities and risks of predictions concerning individuals. The software forecasts of hotspot areas, which have already been used in several federal states for some time, are generally not given any further attention as they are supposed to be legally unproblematic, although the questions arising here are fundamental for further developments. For the first time, the present work comprehensively illuminates the legal problems involved, focusing in particular on multi-level data protection law, developments in police law of the federal states and questions about the use of non-governmental software.

Hill-Valley Conundrum over “Anti-Influx Bills” in Manipur, Northeast India
Authors: Haokip Khaikholen ,   Center for Peace and Justice Education at Villanova University
Published: May 2023

The paper examines the contentions and contestations over the anti-influx bills passed in 2015 by the legislature of India’s northeastern state of Manipur. Passed in the backdrop of the demand from the state’s valley-dwelling majority Meitei community for a legal framework to regulate influx of “outsiders”, the bills evoked hostile reception from the hill-dwelling tribal communities. This paper sees the contestations that ensued over the bills as an emanation of the enduring hill-valley divide in the state. The bills’ contents and various provisions, as explicated in the paper, bear the weighty imprint of the majoritarian impulses that seek to erode the extant institutional and legal safeguards for tribals. This unsettles the tribals who perceive the bills as a trespass in their distinctive constitutional status. The paper concludes by underlining the import of a cautious public policy making, lending agency to the tribals and a deliberative policy-making processes.
Green Human Resource Management Practices in Banking Sector of Pakistan: An exploratory Study
Authors: Fazal Samreen , Muhammad Shaiq
Published: May 2023

This study delves into the phenomena of green human resource practises and the status of their implementation in Pakistan’s banking industry in terms of reducing the usage of paper, conservation of energy, adaptation of green buildings, etc. In this context, human resource management (HRM) plays a significant role in enhancing organisational effectiveness while mitigating ecological hazards. In this endeavour, senior HR professionals in the banking industry have been interviewed to gain some valuable insights regarding their awareness and extent of implementation of green HR practises in various banks. It has been evident that public banks are more adherent to the green banking policies extended by the State Bank of Pakistan, striving to implement green HR practises in their processes. However, some private banks are also aspiring to implement green HR practises in their daily processes, heading towards adopting cost-efficient green practises. Though the key role of HR professionals in leveraging green HR practises and cost-driven technological advancements (solar energy, etc.) leading to a pro-environmental agenda is witnessed from the analysis, Nonetheless, the true spirit of environmental concern is somehow lacking, and all the green measures are adopted backed by the cost-efficiency factor. Therefore, it is suggested that foremost, ecological consciousness needs to be developed among the employees to comprehend environmental concerns and play their individual part beyond their job description or duty to positively contribute towards the environment. Further, the current paper significantly contributes to the GHRM landscape while proposing a green conceptual framework for GHRM prospects.
