Effect of Row Spacing, Seeding Rate, and Herbicide Program in Glufosinate-Resistant Soybean on Palmer Amaranth Management
Authors: Bell Holden D. , Norsworthy Jason K. , Scott Robert C. , Popp Michael
Published: March 2015

A field experiment was conducted in Fayetteville, AR, in 2012 and 2013 to determine the influence of soybean row spacing, seeding rate, and herbicide program in glufosinate-resistant soybean on Palmer amaranth control, survival, and seed production; soybean groundcover and grain yield; and economic returns. Soybean groundcover was > 80% by 85 d after soybean planting (DAP) for all row spacing and seeding rates in 2012 and in 2013 all soybean row spacings and soybean seeding rates had achieved > 90% groundcover by 50 DAP. Difference in groundcover between years was due to lack of precipitation in 2012. Palmer amaranth control at 21 DAP was 99 to 100% for both years when a PRE application ofS-metolachlor plus metribuzin was made at planting. At 42 DAP, Palmer amaranth control following PRE-appliedS-metolachlor plus metribuzin was ≥ 98 and ≥ 88% in 2012 and 2013, respectively. When relying on a POST-only herbicide program initiated at 21 DAP, Palmer amaranth control ranged from 52 to 84% across row spacings at 42 DAP. At soybean harvest, Palmer amaranth control was ≥ 95% in 2012 and ≥ 86% in 2013 regardless of row spacing or seeding rate whenS-metolachlor plus metribuzin was applied at planting. Conversely, total-POST programs had no more than 50 and 85% Palmer amaranth control in 2012 and 2013, respectively. In both years, Palmer amaranth density and seed production at soybean harvest were generally lower in the PRE herbicide programs compared to POST-only programs. Use of a PRE herbicide at planting also improved soybean grain yield and economic returns over programs that relied on a POST-only program. Overall, the impacst of soybean row spacing and seeding rate on Palmer amaranth control, density, or seed production were less apparent than the influence of herbicide programs.

1. MERCADOR DE VENEZA: HERMENÊUTICA FILOSÓFICA E SUA FUSÃO DE HORIZONTES ENTRE A OBRA DE ARTE E O DIREITO
Authors: PINTO Emerson Lima , NEUBAUER Vanessa Steigleder
Published: March 2015

Esse texto envolve a natureza da obra de arte, por uma análise á esta peça clássica de Shakespeare, a qual representa e suas interfaces com a Filosofia e o Direito. A possibilidade de ofensa aos direitos e garantias fundamentais e a dignidade da pessoa humana surge em nossa reflexão a partir do fio condutor que a hermenêutica filosófica gadameriana oportuniza no processo de hermenêutica que envolve a solução do conflito decorrente da inexecução contratual e da respectiva execução da clausula penal estabelecido no contrato de empréstimo. O Estado- Juiz é demandado a fim de equacionar a lide e, ao que tudo indica, a transação torna-se difícil uma vez que Shylock demonstra uma irascível disposição para composição. Assim este estudo bibliográfico aproximando os conceitos da Hermenêutica Filosófica de Gadamer a literatura de Shakespeare e ilustra a problemática aqui discutida a do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana possibilita que por meio dele busque-se a proteção, mediante o reconhecimento de posições jurídico-subjetivas fundamentais, contra novas ofensas e ameaças à própria dignidade humana buscando concretizar o programa normativo do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana que incumbe aos órgãos estatais garantir e, no Mercador de Veneza é garantido a Antônio e, talvez, negado à Shylock

Resumo: Pretendendo (re)direcionar o final da obra de William Shakespeare em O Mercador de Veneza, sem que a trama contratual seja desfeita na sua origem, insere-se a questão linguística no seu aspecto semântico: a metáfora do termo “uma libra de carne”. A partir daí, o personagem que provocou toda a questão jurídica envolvendo a lei e o poder, Shylock, pôde se utilizar desse recurso linguístico na contra-argumentação das determinações de Portia na cena do juízo, não para seu benefício, mas para diminuir a penalidade imposta. Os diálogos reescritos com a roupagem semântica pró-réu levam o leitor a uma nova reflexão.

11. O MITO DA CAVERNA PROJETADO NO ADMIRÁVEL MUNDO NOVO: A ESCRAVIDÃO TECNOLÓGICA
Authors: CONCEIÇÃO Celso Augusto Nunes da , FERREIRA Valdnei Martins
Published: March 2015

O Mito da Caverna , de Platão, foi escrito no século IV a.C. com a finalidade de evidenciar a forma como o povo é escravizado sem que perceba o que realmente está acontecendo, mas acenando para libertação. Com uma roupagem evolutiva, Aldous Huxley escreveu, no séc. XX, a obra Admirável Mundo Novo, desenvolvendo o caráter futurista pelo benefício que o avanço científico provoca no povo, condicionando-o a contemplar as suas admiráveis maravilhas. O cotejamento entre essas duas obras propicia a projeção da parábola da caverna no processo tecnológico mais amplo, em que o propósito do controle da estabilidade social pelos governantes é atingido. Aplicado aos dias de hoje, o mercado cria necessidades atrativas na população, sendo grande parte delas as famosas mídias: celulares, tablets, internet, redes sociais, etc. O resultado é devastador em termos de educação porque o uso do condicionamento  evita que o indivíduo acesse os livros e com isso possa refletir sobre as informações neles contidas, ou seja, é a escravidão tecnológica de forma subliminar.
PREFÁCIO AO V.4, N.7 DA REVISTA DIÁLOGOS DO DIREITO: "A MORTE DE IVAN ILITCH"
Authors: KRETSCHMANN Angela
Published: March 2015

            A Revista Diálogos do Direito chega a seu sétimo número, agora pleiteando construir um diálogo entre professores, alunos, comunidade acadêmica, interna e externa, com a obra de Leon Tolstói, “A morte de Ivan Ilitch”. Sem dúvida, a edição contou com o entusiasmo com que a obra também foi discutida nos corredores, bar, restaurante, biblioteca, trabalhos, provas, e todo tipo de atividade acadêmica em que se poderia – de uma forma ou de outra – revelar e realizar comparações da vida que se tem, com a vida do personagem Ivan Ilitch, construído por Leon Tolstoi.

            Há, portanto, uma transmutação, e não obstante a distância histórica da origem da obra foi realizada com tranquilidade, talvez dado ao fato de que convivemos na atualidade com uma melancolia e uma luta permanente pelo sentido da vida, que certamente transborda os limites da vida do personagem de Tolstoi, para atingir a todos.

            O melhor do diálogo pode ser sempre aquele dos corredores, mas sempre respingos do debate transparecem nas mais diversas formas pelas quais cada professor ou colaborador/autor acaba expressando a forma como percebe a obra, e o contexto no qual deseja inseri-la, a fim de explorar ainda mais suas qualidades literárias. E isso hoje em dia acaba se refletindo inclusive nas conversas pelas mídias, pelos grupos, pelas formas contemporâneas e muitas vezes mais imediatas de referenciar, comentar e relacionar que a tecnologia nos proporciona – o que só enriquece ainda mais o debate!
13. LA COSA JUZGADA CONSTITUCIONAL
Authors: MARANIELLO Patricio
Published: March 2015

 

Una vez que se dicta sentencia y ésta queda firme, es decir, sin posibilidad de presentar ningún tipo de apelaciones o acciones posteriores, se dice que estamos frente a una cosa juzgada judicial. Es por eso que una vez que la causa pasa a ser cosa juzgada, deviene con ello el nacimiento del derecho de propiedad, y esto se encuentra protegido por la seguridad jurídica que reviste toda decisión judicial. Pero cuando la sentencia además de resolver el litigio entre dos partes (actora y demandada) realiza un análisis de constitucionalidad y declara la inconstitucionalidad de una norma, adopta una postura un poco más extensiva; a esto se lo llama “cosa juzgada constitucional”. Ello, que parece tan sencillo de explicar en la práctica, se choca con muchas situaciones que requieren de un análisis muy preciso para delinear los caminos que     desarrollará la cosa juzgada constitucional, como por ejemplo, sus efectos expansivos. Estas situaciones apuntadas precedentemente variarán según el tipo o la clase de control de constitucionalidad que tenga el Estado, es decir, si están basados en el sistema concentrado, difuso o mixto.

3. ÉTICA DEL DISCURSO Y FORMALISMO JUDICIAL CONSTITUCIONAL: ¿AMIGOS O ENEMIGOS?
Authors: CAMINOS Pedro
Published: March 2015

 

La ética del discurso distingue entre discursos de justificación y de aplicación. Los discursos de aplicación son usados para establecer si una norma es apropiada a una situación, esto es, si el contexto de aplicación es el mismo en el que la norma fue adoptada. Esto parece conducir a una concepción particularista, pues en cada instancia de aplicación el agente debe tener en cuenta todas las circunstancias relevantes de la situación. Sin embargo, existen razones para pensar que, en casos de aplicación judicial de la constitución, los jueces deberían adoptar una actitud formalista. Este trabajo articulará algunas de esas razones.
PREFÁCIO AO V.2, N.3, DA REVISTA JURÍDICA DO CESUCA
Authors: KRETSCHMANN Angela , FELDENS Guilherme De Oliveira
Published: March 2015

A Revista Jurídica do Cesuca alcança seu terceiro número com uma coleção de artigos cuidadosamente selecionados e avaliados e que vêm a público agora, em agosto de 2014. A Revista cresceu ainda mais em estrutura, em qualidade, e neste terceiro número, que inaugura seu segundo ano de nascimento, acrescentou novos indexadores internacionais e nacionais, como DOAJ, Open Journal Access, BASE (indexador alemão), SEER (vinculado ao Ibict, do Ministério da Ciência e Tecnologia), Sumários.org, entre outros.

O terceiro número leva em conta a linha de pesquisa adotada pela Revista: Direitos Fundamentais, Efetividade e Cidadania. Uma Revista com acesso aberto tem uma importância fundamental para a comunidade acadêmica, que não apenas pensa e quer acesso a conteúdo de qualidade, mas que produz conteúdo de qualidade. E de acordo com o CNPQ, uma linha de pesquisa deve representar temas que reúnam estudos científicos, aglutinando pesquisas com tradição investigativa, que levam a projetos que tragam resultados com afinidades, por isso  a Revista Jurídica do Cesuca adota a linha Direitos Fundamentais, Efetividade e Cidadania, enlaçando tópicos estreitamente vinculados entre si, que às vezes se complementam teoricamente, e muitas vezes se estranham de modo irremediável, na prática.

A equipe editorial considera importante aprofundar o estudo das relações entre direitos fundamentais, efetividade e cidadania, principalmente na perspectiva interdisciplinar. Percebe-se que a manifestação do exercício de direitos fundamentais, estreitamente vinculados à cidadania é condicionada por normas vinculadas a direitos fundamentais, estas que orientam a forma de alcançar a efetiva a realização dos direitos. Sobressaem-se os aspectos culturais e valorativos, juntamente com questões de ordem política, jurídica e econômica, e assim o presente número traz uma densidade de artigos comprometidos de modo especial com essa preocupação temática.

A cada edição a Revista ganha assistentes editoriais que acompanham de perto o processo editorial. A edição anterior contou com o apoio da professora Jaqueline Mielke Silva, auxiliando na indicação de avaliadores específicos para os artigos, assim como, participando ativamente de todas as decisões editoriais. Para a presente edição exerceram essa importante atividade os professores Guilherme de Oliveira Feldens e Emerson de Lima Pinto, sem os quais, a presente edição não teria condições de ser publicada. Um agradecimento especial também ao professor Renato Selayaram, que sendo editor assistente da próxima edição, desde já colaborou incansavelmente também para a publicação do presente número.
3. LA PROTECCIÓN JURÍDICA DE LOS ANIMALES
Authors: VANOSSI Jorge Reinaldo
Published: March 2015

Uno de los actos que enaltecen y diferencian a la especie humana es la compasión ante el sufrimiento de quienes son sus semejantes y también ante el de quienes no lo son pero tienen en su naturaleza igual capacidad de temor, dolor y angustia. La necesidad impone a los animales una lógica que no incluye la moral entre ellos, pero que, a pesar de eso, de ningún modo los obliga a soportar las innecesarias crueldades de nuestra condición humana. El maltrato a los animales es un acto punible y vergonzoso y las leyes deben contribuir a su protección.
4. A EXTRAFISCALIDADE COMO INSTRUMENTO DE IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS SOCIAIS NO BRASIL
Authors: CALIENDO Paulo
Published: March 2015

O problema do presente texto é tratar tributação com finalidades extrafiscais como instrumento de implementação dos direitos sociais no Brasil. Quais são as possibilidades da extrafiscalidade como meio de promoção dos direitos fundamentais? Quais são os princípios que o orientam? Em suma,  como o Estado ordena, intervém e promove os direitos fundamentais em Estado Democrático de Direito, por meio do uso de instrumentos tributários.A tributação historicamente tem sido pensada sob a ótica da fiscalidade, ou seja, como forma de financiamento do Estado e custeio de suas atividades principais. Em período recente o Estado adquiriu novas funções, tais como promover direitos fundamentais prestacionais (educação, saúde, habitação, meio ambiente equilibrado, etc.) e corrigir falhas de mercado. Para além de suas  funções clássicas, novas e mais complexas atividades têm se somado, exigindo uma resposta sobre como compatibilizar estas novas funções com o texto constitucional.

Methods: Samples of GCF, whole saliva, and plasma were obtained from systemically healthy, non‐smoking individuals with gingivitis (n = 20) or chronic periodontitis (CP) (n = 20) and periodontally healthy individuals (n = 20). Full‐mouth clinical periodontal measurements, including probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing, gingival index, and plaque index (PI), were also recorded. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine IL‐35 levels in the samples. Data were tested statistically by analysis of variance and Pearson rank correlation test.

Results: All clinical parameters were significantly higher in the CP group than the healthy and gingivitis groups (P <0.001). The GCF total amount of IL‐35 was significantly higher in the CP group than the other groups (P = 0.04), whereas the GCF concentration of IL‐35 was significantly higher in the healthy group than the other groups (P = 0.002). There were significant differences among the study groups in terms of salivary IL‐35 level (P <0.001), with the highest level observed in the healthy group and the lowest in the CP group. There was no statistical difference between groups in plasma levels of IL‐35 (P >0.05). There was a positive correlation between GCF total amount of IL‐35 and PD (r = 0.338, P = 0.03) and PI (r = 0.374, P = 0.005) parameters.

Conclusions: IL‐35 could have an important role in suppressing periodontal inflammation and maintaining periodontal health. Additional studies are required to evaluate its role in periodontal diseases.

Background:Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is used for the treatment of osseous defects. Conditioned medium from native bone chips can activate transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β signaling in mesenchymal cells. The aim of this study is to determine whether processing of native bone into DBM affects the activity of the conditioned medium.

Methods:Porcine cortical bone blocks were subjected to defatting, different concentrations of hydrochloric acid, and various temperatures. DBM was lyophilized, ground, and placed into culture medium. Human gingiva and periodontal fibroblasts were exposed to the respective conditioned medium obtained from DBM (DBCM). Changes in the expression of TGF‐β target genes were determined.

Results:DBCM altered the expression of TGF‐β target genes (e.g.,adrenomedullin, pentraxin 3, KN motifandankyrin repeat domains 4, interleukin 11, NADPH oxidase 4,andBTB [POZ] domain containing 11) by at least five‐fold. The response was observed in fibroblasts from both sources. Defatting lowered the activity of DBCM. The TGF‐β receptor type I kinase inhibitor SB431542 [4‐(4‐(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol‐5‐yl)‐5‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1H‐imidazol‐2‐yl)benzamide] but not the inhibitor of bone morphogenetic protein receptor dorsomorphin, blocked the effects of DBCM on gene expression. Moreover, conditioned medium obtained from commercial human DBM modulated the expression of TGF‐β target genes.

Conclusion:The findings suggest that the DBCM can activate TGF‐β signaling in oral fibroblasts.
Factors Associated With Increased Cesarean Risk Among African American Women: Evidence From California, 2010
Authors: Huesch Marco , Doctor Jason N.
Published: March 2015

Objectives. We studied if both observed and unobserved maternal health in African American women in hospitals or communities were associated with cesarean delivery of infants.

Methods. We examined the relationship between African American race and cesarean delivery among 493 433 women discharged from 255 Californian hospitals in 2010 using administrative data; we adjusted for patient comorbidities and maternal, fetal, and placental risk factors, as well as clustering of patients within hospitals.

Results. Cesarean rates were significantly higher overall for African American women than other women (unadjusted rate 36.8% vs 32.7%), as were both elective and emergency primary cesarean rates. Elevated risks persisted after risk adjustment (odds ratio generally > 1.27), but the prevalence of particular risk factors varied. Although African American women were clustered in some hospitals, the proportion of African Americans among all women delivering in a hospital was not related to its overall cesarean rate.

Conclusions. To address the higher likelihood of elective cesarean delivery, attention needs to be given to currently unmeasured patient-level health factors, to the quality of provider–physician interactions, as well as to patient preferences.

Objectives. We assessed the effects of a worksite multiple-component intervention addressing diet and physical activity on employees’ mean body mass index (BMI) and the percentage of employees who were overweight or obese.

Methods. This group-randomized trial (n = 3799) was conducted at 10 worksites in the northeastern United States. Worksites were paired and allocated into intervention and control conditions. Within- and between-groups changes in mean BMIs and in the percentage of overweight or obese employees were examined in a volunteer sample.

Results. Within-group mean BMIs decreased by 0.54 kilograms per meter squared (P = .02) and 0.12 kilograms per meter squared (P = .73) at the intervention and control worksites, respectively, resulting in a difference in differences (DID) decrease of 0.42 kilograms per meter squared (P = .33). The within-group percentage of overweight or obese employees decreased by 3.7% (P = .07) at the intervention worksites and increased by 4.9% (P = .1) at the control worksites, resulting in a DID decline of 8.6% (P = .02).

Conclusions. Our findings support a worksite population strategy that might eventually reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity by minimizing environmental exposures to calorically dense foods and increasing exposures to opportunities for energy expenditure within worksite settings.

Objectives. We determined the prevalence of recent emotional, physical, and sexual violence against women and their associations with HIV-related risk factors in women living in the United States.

Methods. We performed an assessment of women ages 18 to 44 years with a history of unprotected sex and 1 or more personal or partner HIV risk factors in the past 6 months from 2009 to 2010. We used multivariable logistic regression to examine the association of experiencing violence.

Results. Among 2099 women, the prevalence of emotional abuse, physical violence, and sexual violence in the previous 6 months was 31%, 19%, and 7%, respectively. Nonmarried status, food insecurity, childhood abuse, depression symptomology, and posttraumatic stress disorder were significantly associated with multiple types of violence. All types of violence were associated with at least 3 different partner or personal HIV risk behaviors, including unprotected anal sex, previous sexually transmitted infection diagnosis, sex work, or partner substance abuse.

Conclusions. Our data suggested that personal and partner HIV risk behaviors, mental illness, and specific forms of violence frequently co-occurred in the lives of impoverished women. We shed light on factors purported to contribute to a syndemic in this population. HIV prevention programs in similar populations should address these co-occurring issues in a comprehensive manner.

Objectives. We compared mortality among tuberculosis (TB) survivors and a similar population.

Methods. We used local health authority records from 3 US sites to identify 3853 persons who completed adequate treatment of TB and 7282 individuals diagnosed with latent TB infection 1993 to 2002. We then retrospectively observed mortality after 6 to 16 years of observation. We ascertained vital status as of December 31, 2008, using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Death Index. We analyzed mortality rates, hazards, and associations using Cox regression.

Results. We traced 11 135 individuals over 119 772 person-years of observation. We found more all-cause deaths (20.7% vs 3.1%) among posttreatment TB patients than among the comparison group, an adjusted average excess of 7.6 deaths per 1000 person-years (8.8 vs 1.2; P < .001). Mortality among posttreatment TB patients varied with observable factors such as race, site of disease, HIV status, and birth country.

Conclusions. Fully treated TB is still associated with substantial mortality risk. Cure as currently understood may be insufficient protection against TB-associated mortality in the years after treatment, and TB prevention may be a valuable opportunity to modify this risk.

Objectives. We examined the association between neighborhood convenience stores and diet outcomes for 20 years of the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study.

Methods. We used dietary data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study years 1985–1986, 1992–1993, and 2005–2006 (n = 3299; Birmingham, AL; Chicago, IL; Minneapolis, MN; and Oakland, CA) and geographically and temporally matched neighborhood-level food resource and US Census data. We used random effects repeated measures regression to estimate associations between availability of neighborhood convenience stores with diet outcomes and whether these associations differed by individual-level income.

Results. In multivariable-adjusted analyses, greater availability of neighborhood convenience stores was associated with lower diet quality (mean score = 66.3; SD = 13.0) for participants with lower individual-level income (b = −2.40; 95% CI = −3.30, −1.51); associations at higher individual-level income were weaker. We observed similar associations with whole grain consumption across time but no statistically significant associations with consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, artificially sweetened beverages, snacks, processed meats, fruits, or vegetables.

Conclusions. The presence of neighborhood convenience stores may be associated with lower quality diets. Low-income individuals may be most sensitive to convenience store availability.

Objectives. We investigated whether federally tax-exempt hospitals consider community health needs when deciding how much and what types of community benefits to provide.

Methods. Using 2009 data from hospital tax filings to the Internal Revenue Service and the 2010 County Health Rankings, we employed both univariate and multivariate analyses to examine the relationship between community health needs and the types and levels of hospitals’ community benefit expenditures. The study sample included 1522 private, tax-exempt hospitals throughout the United States.

Results. We found some patterns between community health needs and hospitals’ expenditures on community benefits. Hospitals located in communities with greater health needs spent more as a percentage of their operating budgets on benefits directly related to patient care. By contrast, spending on community health improvement initiatives was unrelated to community health needs.

Conclusions. Important opportunities exist for tax-exempt hospitals to improve the alignment between their community benefit activities and the health needs of the community they serve. The Affordable Care Act requirement that hospitals conduct periodic community health needs assessments may be a first step in this direction.
