Authors:   Korea National Park Service National Park Research Institute, Hong Eui Jeong , Kang Seung-Ho , Han Yong-Gu
Published: December 2024

The 3rd (2016) and 4th (2022) natural resource surveys of insects in Gayasan National Park identified 20 orders, 254 families, and 2,156 species in total. Lepidoptera (36 families, 778 species) was the dominant group, followed by Coleoptera (68 families, 584 species), Hemiptera (25 families, 302 species), Hymenoptera (25 families, 208 species), and Diptera (29 families, 125 species). Additionally, two endangered species (Grade II), 55 endemic species, and two climate-sensitive biological indicator species were identified. Five species were classified as vulnerable (VU) and one species was identified as near-threatened (NT) on the National Red List. The comparison of insect communities based on different survey methods showed that light, pitfall, and funnel traps were distinguished from other survey methods.

Authors: Sanli Ahmet , Turan Bilal
Published: December 2024

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the survival rate and prognostic factors affecting survival in triple negative male breast cancer patients. Data were obtained from SEER (Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results). Triple-negative male breast cancer patients between 2010 and 2019 were included in the study. Demographic, clinical, and oncology data were evaluated. Among 4930 male breast cancer patients, 92 (1.87%) patients with triple negative molecular subtypes were included in the study. The median age of the patients was 67 (IQR: 58.25-73.5). The majority of the patients were white (68.5%). The rate of being married was 62%. It was on both sides; the most common tumor localization was upper outer quadrant and central, respectively. The most common grades were III-IV (66.3%). The most common stages were T2 (44.6%) in the T stage and N0 (54%) in the N stage. The most common stage was IV (28.3%). Mean follow-up time was 25.76±25.02, and overall survival was 50.5% and cancer specific survival was 59.6%. Grade, metastasis status, and surgical status were found to be independent risk factors for survival. The majority of triple negative male breast cancer patients were in advanced stages, and survival rates were low. It is encouraging that triple negative molecular subtype breast cancer, which is an aggressive tumor, is less common in men.

Authors: Esen Gulay , Acikel Arzu
Published: December 2024

The aim is to compare video laryngoscopy (VL) and Macintosh blade direct laryngoscopy according to the intubation difficulty scale (IDS) in patients with ASA 1 and Mallampati score I (C-MAC-D blade) according to body mass index (BMI). A total of 180 patients aged 18-70 years, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia with ASA 1-2, Mallampati score I, and BMI>18 kg/m² were included. DL and VL were performed in 50% of patients. Patients were randomly assigned to six groups based on BMI and laryngoscopy type. During intubation, data on the number of tubes used, number of anesthetists attempting intubation, number of alternative techniques employed, C-L score (C-L), laryngoscopy suspension power, application of external pressure, and vocal cord imaging were recorded, and IDS was calculated. Notable variations were detected in mouth opening, thyromental distance, and C-L and IDS levels across different laryngoscopy methods. Patients in the VL group exhibited a greater frequency of mouth opening of <3 cm and thyromental distance of 6.5 cm (p=0.029 and p<0.005, respectively). The VL group demonstrated higher rates of C-L=1 and easy IDS, whereas the DL group showed increased C-L=3 and mildly difficult-to-difficult IDS ratios (p=0.049 and p<0.001, respectively). Within the BMI 25-30 kg/m² category, the VL group had a significantly larger number of patients with a thyromental distance <6.5 cm (p=0.008). No substantial differences in mouth-opening measurements were observed between the groups. The intubation duration was extended in the VL group (p=0.019). The VL group displayed a higher frequency of easy IDS, whereas the DL group showed an increased rate of mild IDS (p =0.001). For patients with BMI >30 kg/m², the VL group had considerably more individuals with a thyromental distance <6.5 cm (p<0.001). The DL group exhibited higher proportions of mildly difficult and difficult IDS, C-L=3 ratio, and prolonged intubation times (p<0.001, p=0.026, p=0.028, respectively). In obese patients who undergo endotracheal intubation, better glottic visibility with the use of VL shortens the intubation time and makes the procedure easier.
Evaluation of the readability of informed consent forms commonly used in dermatology and cosmetology in Türkiye
Authors: Kus Mine
Published: December 2024

Informed consent forms (ICFs) must contain all the necessary information related to medical interventions and be comprehensible to the patient. This study aims to determine the readability levels of the ICFs listed on the official website of the Turkish Dermatology Association. A total of 23 consent forms, accessible on the website (https://turkdermatoloji.org.tr/icerik/detay/289) of the Turkish Dermatology Association, were incorporated into the study and classified into seven distinct categories. Twenty-three consent forms available on the Turkish Dermatology Association’s website were included in the study and categorized into seven groups. The texts of these forms were loaded into readability software. To ascertain the readability levels of the included texts, the mean number of words per sentence, the mean word count, the mean number of words with four syllables or more, and the mean number of syllables were calculated using the Bezirci-Yilmaz and Ateşman formulas. These data were then statistically compared. The mean readability of all ICFs was at the high school level according to the Bezirci-Yilmaz formula and at a medium difficulty level according to the Ateşman formula. According to the Bezirci-Yilmaz formula, the Methotrexate ICF was at an academic level, while the ICFs for Cosmetic Procedures with Energy-Based Devices and Superficial Skin Renewal Methods were at the undergraduate level. When comparing the readability values of Bezirci-Yilmaz and Ateşman, a significant difference was found between five groups with multiple consent forms (p=0.006 for both). Pairwise comparisons revealed that the low readability of the ICFs for Cosmetic Procedures with Energy-Based Devices was responsible for this significant difference. The readability of these forms was at the undergraduate level, according to Bezirci-Yilmaz, and at a challenging level, according to Ateşman. The readability levels of the ICFs available on the official website of the Turkish Dermatology Association are low. These consent forms should be revised to guarantee that patients are sufficiently informed about the medical procedures they will undergo. Otherwise, patients and physicians may face legal challenges due to potential complications.

Published: December 2024

The objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the anaesthesia experiences of burn patients admitted to the Ankara Bilkent City Hospital Burn Treatment Centre between 2019 and 2021. The study also aimed to identify the types of anaesthesia applied to these patients. After obtaining the approval of the Ethics Committee (E2-23-5042), the demographic data of the patients, percentage and degree of burn, aetiology of burn injury, number of surgical procedures performed and the types of anaesthesia administered, were evaluated through a retrospective review of the patient files. A total of 421 out of 462 inpatients underwent surgery under anaesthesia at least once. A total of 1,430 surgical procedures were conducted under anaesthesia in 421 patients. Sedoanalgesia was performed in 67.9% of cases, general anaesthesia in 29.8%, and regional anaesthesia in 2.3%. Anaesthetists bear a significant responsibility for the care of burn patients during surgical and intensive care procedures. It is imperative that anaesthetists are aware of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes that occur in burn patients, in order that they may determine the appropriate doses of the most suitable agents. In the context of multidisciplinary burn patient treatment, anaesthesiologists play a pivotal role in communication and collaboration with other members of the surgical and intensive care teams, thereby significantly impacting patient outcomes.
Necriphysiphilia as a psychopathology of the anthropocene epoch and, a dissoanalytic political psychology perspective on the transformation of individual trauma to social trauma
Authors: Ozturk Erdinc
Published: December 2024

In today's Anthropocene Epoch, human-induced individual traumas are rapidly transforming into human-induced societal traumas, and vice versa. The Anthropocene Epoch has created “dystopian societies” characterized by “uncertainty traumas”, “uncertainty anxieties”, and “epidemic traumas” which have pluralized individuals' identities, consciousness, and memories, even locking them into a submissive psychosocial mode! As a psychopathology of the Anthropocene Epoch, necriphysiphilia is characterized by postmodern primitive relationships and fusioned lifestyles defined by dependencies on pleasure, technology, and luxury. From a dissoanalytic school perspective, necriphysiphilists are individuals lacking social missions, obsessed with luxury brands, possessing low intellectual levels, and indulging in vacation and entertainment, who have established “dissociative identifications” with their own abusers, while being hostile to nature. Necriphysiphiliacs appease their ideals of living under autocratic regimes by submitting to their dominant partners and leaders, often at the cost of their own freedoms. For dissociated subjects and societies, the “last exit before the bridge” involves safe habitats that are intertwined with nature, amidst environmental destruction, urban sprawl, epidemic traumas, multiple dependencies, and ongoing oppression. The recent strong trend toward eco-friendly habitats serves as a robust manifesto against educational abuse, scientific tyranny, academic mobbing, and necriphysiphilia. Within this manifesto, Öztürk's “Dissoanalytic Political Psychology” analyzes necriphysiphiliacs -who sacrifice their freedoms for pleasure, interests, and luxury- through the lens of “dysfunctional mass psychology”. Dissoanalytic political psychology is a field that examines the psychosocial origins and reflections of human thought, emotion, and behavior in political life through the framework of “dissoanalysis theory”. According to this theory, dissociative revolutions against political traumas and political dissociation enable the long-term prevalence of peace-focused, empathetic, sensible, just, and meritocratic societies.
Comparison of frontal QRS-T angle in mitral valve prolapse without arrhythmic phenotype with healthy individuals
Authors: Kilit Celal
Published: December 2024

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is generally known as a benign disease with a good prognosis. Patients with the arrhythmic MVP (AMVP) phenotype have an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. The frontal QRS-T angle is a new indicator, related to malign arrhythmias and cardiac death risk in various diseases. This study aimed to compare the frontal QRS-T angle of patients with MVP without the AMVP phenotype with that of healthy subjects. Fifty MVP patients without the AMVP phenotype, identified through a retrospective review of medical records, constituted the MVP group, and 50 healthy individuals constituted the control group. Frontal QRS-T angle and other electrocardiography and echocardiography parameters were compared between the groups. The groups were similar in terms of demographic characteristics and laboratory results. Frontal QRS-T angle was similar in both groups (30±37° vs 28±24°, p=0.56). There was also no difference in other electrocardiographic and echocardiographic parameters between the groups. In MVP patients without the AMVP phenotype, the frontal QRS-T angle does not change compared to healthy individuals. The risk of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death in this patient population appears to be similar to that in healthy individuals.
Impact of abnormal placentation on the risk of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy: A retrospective analysis
Authors: Balkas Gulay
Published: December 2024

We aimed to investigate the impact of abnormal placental location and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders on the incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. This retrospective, single-center study was conducted at a tertiary maternity hospital between 2018 and 2022. The study population was classified according to abnormal placentation, including control (normal placentation), low-lying placenta (LP), placenta previa (PP), and PAS. The PAS group was further divided into subtypes: accreta, increta, percreta. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate factors influencing the incidence of HDPs and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and their association with abnormal placentation and PAS subtypes. A total of 337 pregnant women were recruited into the study, with 222 abnormal placentations (85 were classified as LP, 72 as PP and 65 as PAS) and 155 controls. Among the participants, 37 women (9.81%) were diagnosed with HDPs. The incidence of HDPs was significantly lower in the PP (4.2%) and PAS (7.7%) groups compared to the control group (12.3%) (p<0.001). The prevalence rates of HDPs were 10.3% in women without PAS, 11.1% with accreta, 8.7% with increta, and 4.1% with percreta (p<0.001). For PIH, the prevalence rates were 7.4% without PAS, 5.6% with accreta, 4.3% with increta, and 0% with percreta (p<0.001). After adjustment for confounders, including advanced maternal age, nulliparity, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, a significant negative association was observed between PP and the risk of PIH (OR=0.215, 95% CI: 0.128–1.243, p=0.001) and HDPs (OR=0.215, 95% CI: 0.128–1.243, p=0.001). Similarly, a negative association was observed between PAS and the risk of PIH (OR = 0.550, 95% CI: 0.295–1.120, p = 0.004) and HDPs (OR=0.610, 95% CI: 0.350–1.320, p=0.004). However, no association was found between HDPs and LP. Abnormal placentation, particularly PP and PAS, is associated with a reduced risk of HDPs, suggesting a potential protective effect. Additionally, the prevalence of HDPs decreases as the invasiveness of PAS increases.
Product Liability and E-commerce in Ghana: Focusing Ghana’s Regulatory Framework on Consumer Protection
Authors: Dowuona-Hammond Christine , Kyeremateng Richard Adjei , Hammond Ama F.
Published: December 2024

The e-commerce industry in Ghana has experienced significant development over the past fifteen years. E-commerce platforms like Jumia, Tonaton, and Jiji attract significant daily internet traffic.The growth of the e-commerce industry raises questions about the protection of online consumers. This paper evaluates the degree to which Ghana’s Electronic Transactions Act 2008 (Act 772) safeguards the rights of consumers who use e-commerce platforms. While commending the Act for its provisions on disclosure, unsolicited electronic communications, and a consumer’s choice to affirm or rescind an electronic contract based on the seller’s non-compliance, this paper argues that the Act is inflexible in the remedies it provides consumers and does not sufficiently cover other aspects of consumer protection such as the obligation of suppliers and consumers in lastmile delivery. This paper recommends the adoption of some provisions of the Convention on the International Sale of Goods and the Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts to fill the gaps identified to ensure consumer protection and the integrity of e-commerce transactions in Ghana.
Interpreting the Energy Efficiency First Principle: Help or Hindrance for the Hydrogen Economy?
Authors: Casanova Paola Jimenez , Pinto Jaqueline
Published: December 2024

The Energy Efficiency First Principle (EE1 Principle) is fundamental to the European Union’s (EU’s) energy policy, highlighting energy efficiency initiatives over supply-side alternatives. This article analyses the development, implementation, and obstacles of the EE1 Principle within the EU’s legislative framework. It examines the principle’s incorporation into essential legislative texts, and its influence on decision-making processes, using hydrogen as an example.Notwithstanding its elucidation in legal texts in recent years, the execution and implementation of the EE1 Principle is lacking in various Member States. However, the article posits that the EE1 Principle can assist in the development of the hydrogen market, whilst balancing this objective with promoting a more integrated, efficient, secure and carbonneutral EU energy system. Its implementation at the EU level, particularly during the process for: (1) integrating the EU-wide ten-year network development plans (TYNDP) for electricity, gas and hydrogen; and (2) selecting the Projects of Common and Mutual Interest, is of the upmost importance.The article concludes that although the EE1 Principle is a helpful tool for establishing a sustainable, diverse and resilient energy system, overcoming the associated implementation obstacles is crucial for its success. The efficient implementation and oversight of the EE1 Principle will be vital for promoting a broad and sustainable energy mix.
Scrutiny: European Economic Governance and National Financial Planning: The Italian Case
Authors: Bontempi Valerio
Published: December 2024

The aim of the paper is to answer three well-defined questions: (1) Is the planned policy in Italy the general economic policy or is the economic policy intense in a restrictive sense and coinciding only with financial policy? (2) Is the administrative activity of economic and financial planning effective? (3) Who is today the holder of the programming function in substantive terms: the national or the European legal system? Considering the analysis conducted in this paper, the Author reaches the following conclusion: the highly substantive binding nature of European policy acts and the profound embryonic relationship between the European function of policy and coordination and the national function of implementing policy acts make the ownership of the economic and financial planning function intimately shared between the two legal systems.
Lived Experiences of the Hearing Impaired in the Nursing Encounter with Nurses at Choma General Hospital: A Hermeneutic Phenomelogical Approach
Authors: Haambozi Cathrine , Mwanza Jason , Mwange Austin , Phiri Moses
Published: December 2024

Background: The World Health Organisation estimates that 466 million people were living with hearing impairment in 2018 and this estimate is projected to rise to 630 million by 2030 and to over 900 million by 2050 (World Health Organisation, 2018). However, it is estimated that there are around 200,000 deaf people in Zambia, which is around 2% of the total population (Samantha, 2019).
Methods: The study employed a hermeneutic phenomenological design. Purposive sampling with snowball sampling was used to recruit seven deaf participants, ensuring data richness and reaching saturation. Data analysis was guided by Van Manen's four existential dimensions of lived experience, alongside Lazarus and Folkman’s coping theory for interpretation.
Results: Based on the data collected, participants' lived experiences were categorized into five key areas of communication barriers: lack of sign language knowledge among nurses, difficulty with reading and writing, reliance on nonverbal communication, absence of assistance and Long waiting time. These challenges can lead to feelings of frustration, helplessness and anxiety for the deaf, and can result in poor health outcomes and decreased satisfaction with care
Conclusion: Communication in the nursing encounter between nurses and deaf individuals can be extremely challenging and stressful for both parties. However, with appropriate training and institutional reforms, these challenges can be mitigated, leading to more effective healthcare outcomes and improved nurse-patient relationships.

The petrographic composition of raw anthracite, physicochemical and technical characteristics of carbonized, activated carbon were studied for their suitability for use as adsorbents for water purification for various purposes. According to the petrographic composition, the studied anthracite belongs to the vitrinite group and contains the following macerals: telenite (Vtt), colonite (Vtk), semicollonite (SVk), quartz (Mkt) and carbonates (Mk) are also included. It was shown that studies of anthracite experienced low metamorphism and a small part of macerals are preserved in anthracite layers after heat treatment. Technologies have been developed for carbonization and activation of coal in order to obtain sorbents for the purification of household, drinking, industrial waters, as well as chemically contaminated wastewater generated in the chemical and metallurgical industries. Carbonization of raw anthracite was carried out with a fraction of 1-3 mm in a nitrogen atmosphere at various temperatures with isothermal exposure at t = 900 0C. At the same time, the carbonate had the following characteristics: strength - 91,06%, bulk density - 0,795 g/cm3, total pore volume in water - 0,083 cm3/g. The resulting carbonizate was activated with carbon dioxide, water vapor separately and their mixture at a temperature of 900 0C and a holding time of 120 mm. The quality indicators were: burnt - 16,1%; bulk density 0,70 g/cm3; strength - 90,07%; the total pore volume in water is 0,321 cm3/g. The obtained adsorbent was tested in the purification of a model solution containing heavy metal ions: Fe - 0,32 mg/l, Cu - 0,21 mg/l, total hardness - 25 mg/l. After passing this solution through the adsorbent, the total hardness decreased by 6,5, iron by 80, copper by 87,5 times. After purification, the water quality met the requirements of GOST 2874-82 “Drinking water”.

The issues of constructing a computer model of the technological process of the reactor unit of a methanol production plant, its verification and modeling in order to determine rational operating modes aimed at increasing the yield of methanol and reducing total energy costs are considered. The computer model was built in the Aspen Hysys software package, including standard models of chemical technology processes from a library of technological modules. To simulate the process of methanol synthesis, the reactions of interaction of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide with hydrogen, described by an equilibrium model, were used. The sources of borrowed coefficients of equations for calculating equilibrium constants are indicated. The developed computer model of the reactor unit is a chemical-technological system closed by recycles. To calculate the material and heat balance, a structural analysis was carried out using the author's program in order to determine the locations of conditionally broken flows according to the criterion of minimum total parametricity and the sequence of calculation of models of circuit apparatus. Using a computer model constructed and verified based on the licensor's data, a number of computational experiments were carried out. Methods for changing the stoichiometric number, its influence on the process, as well as an analysis of the sensitivity of system performance indicators (mass flow rates of methanol, recycle flow of unreacted raw materials, methanol content, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, water, carbon dioxide, amount of thermal energy supplied, heat removed to regeneration of secondary energy resources) to temperature changes in the methanol synthesis reactor. The results of computer modeling showed the availability of resources for increasing technological and energy efficiency and the prospects of solving optimization problems to find optimal operating modes for a methanol production process unit using computer modeling methods.

The development of new biologically active substances and pharmaceuticals often involves the strategic combination of different pharmacophore elements into hybrid structures. Drugs created using this method may have increased efficacy, reduced toxicity and a multifaceted spectrum of biological action. Isatin is isolated as a synthetically versatile substance, often used in the creation of various heterocyclic structures. There are two active sites in its structure - a carbonyl group and a lactam segment, which makes isatin an excellent basis for the development of hybrid biologically active compounds. Many studies have examined various classes of isatin derivatives and their biological effects, including their role in the fight against viral, bacterial and tuberculosis infections. For example, Schiff and Mannich bases derived from isatin are known for their variety of actions, including antiviral, antibacterial and fungicidal properties. Moreover, the innovative approach involves the creation of hybrid molecules by forming covalent bonds between two or more therapeutic agents, active components and/or pharmacophore units on a synthetically malleable framework. As an example, syntheses of isatin derivatives, which include triazole and quinoline compounds known for their powerful antimalarial efficacy, can be cited. The purpose of this work is to describe a strategy for the synthesis of hybrid compounds obtained by combining isatin derivatives with phosphoryl carboxylic acid hydrazides, which are known for their significant reactivity and biological activity, as a result of which new acylhydrazones were obtained, the structure of which was confirmed using IR and NMR spectroscopy methods.
Prevalence of Perceived Stress Among Polypharmacy Patients: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Alhashem Ghazwan
Published: December 2024

Background: The concurrent use of 5 or more medications is the most recognized definition of polypharmacy. Many physical and mental consequences could be associated with polypharmacy, and stress is no exception. The objective of the current study is to investigate the prevalence of perceived stress among polypharmacy individuals and its association with sociodemographic factors.
Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out between September and December at 6 major hospitals and several private clinics in Iraq. Study participants were required to have at least 2 chronic diseases and be using 5 or more drugs for at least 90 days, aged 50 years or older. Sociodemographic data and the Perceived Stress Scale 10 (PSS-10) were completed by participants. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the median PSS-10 scores for different sociodemographic factors.
Results: Among the 235 polypharmacy participants, the median PSS-10 score was 20. Moreover, the median PSS-10 score was significantly higher among female participants, those with an increased number of chronic diseases, the presence of adverse effects, and participants with financial issues related to healthcare (P <0.05).
Conclusion: The present findings indicate a moderate perceived stress score among polypharmacy participants, highlighting the need for strategies to alleviate stress alongside personalized medication management.
Accuracy of Aneroid Versus Digital Sphygmomanometer in Community-Based Screening for Hypertension in Hubballi, Karnataka, India - A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Kurugodiyavar Mahesh D , N Roopakala , Andanigoudar Kashavva B
Published: December 2024

Background: Hypertension is a significant global health issue, responsible for approximately 7.5 million deaths annually. Even a modest increase of 5 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure (BP) can elevate the risk of fatal stroke and infarction by about 25%. Hence this study aimed to assess the accuracy of aneroid and digital sphygmomanometers relative to the mercury sphygmomanometer.
Methodology: This community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the urban slums of old Hubballi among 270 participants aged 30 years and above. Participants were selected using Probability Proportion to Size from 3 wards. Blood pressures were measured with all three sphygmomanometers and Bland Altman plot analysis was done.
Results: The results revealed that the mean difference in systolic blood pressure compared to mercury was -0.57 mmHg for the aneroid and -4.63 mmHg for the digital (p <0.05). For diastolic blood pressure, the mean difference was -0.39 mmHg for the aneroid and -3.43 mmHg for the digital (p <0.05). Bland-Altman analysis showed agreement limits of 66.3% for systolic and 75.2% for diastolic blood pressure with the aneroid sphygmomanometer.
Conclusion: The aneroid sphygmomanometer provides more reliable BP readings compared to the digital sphygmomanometer for both systolic and diastolic measurements.

The straight-line method is used to consistently calculate asset depreciation every semester, while Fuzzy EDAS assists in making objective decisions for asset disposal by considering various criteria, such as asset age, asset value, and asset condition. The research results show that the integration of these two methods enhances asset management efficiency, minimizes the risk of errors, and supports asset utilization optimization. This system has proven to help the university manage its fixed assets more effectively, thereby extending the economic life of assets that are still usable and eliminating assets that no longer provide value. This research is expected to serve as a model for other institutions in fixed asset management
Produção antecipada da prova extrajudicial: uma proposta de desjudicialização
Authors: Quirino Henrique Rabelo , Nalini José Renato
Published: December 2024

Na atualidade, o acesso à justiça é compreendido de maneira mais abrangente, não se limitando apenas ao acesso ao Judiciário, mas também à busca pela concreta efetivação de uma ordem jurídica justa. Ao menos em parte, o déficit de acesso à justiça vem sendo combatido por políticas públicas de desjudicialização, que envolvem a transferência de certos atos e procedimentos para agentes externos à estrutura do Poder Judiciário. Nesse contexto, o artigo se propõe a examinar a possibilidade de desjudicialização da produção antecipada de prova. A partir de considerações sobre a natureza e a finalidade desse procedimento, o texto examina a natureza do direito à prova, as restrições a esse direito e o procedimento a ser adotado pelos agentes encarregados de lhe dar andamento, para, na sequência, examinar a eventual possibilidade de sua realização em sede administrativa. Filiando-se à vertente metodológica jurídico-dogmática, sob a linha da tecnologia social científica, e com uma perspectiva predominantemente propositiva, o artigo baseou-se em aportes normativos, doutrinários e jurisprudenciais, colhidos a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica nacional. Conclui-se pela possibilidade de desjudicialização desse tipo de procedimento, ressalvando-se a necessidade de cautelas legais para evitar a supressão de direitos e, ultimamente, a restrição do acesso à justiça.
Desigualdade social e criminalização da pobreza: paradoxo estrutural
Authors: Zeifert Anna Paula Bagetti , Fruet Luiza Mello
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo faz uma análise das limitações ao pleno exercício das capacidades em razão de condutas discriminatórias que, muitas vezes, criminalizam a pobreza. Como problema, questiona em que medida a criminalização da pobreza viabiliza condutas discriminatórias e impossibilita o pleno exercício das capacidades e dos direitos humanos. A visão norteadora para abordar a pobreza será a sua condição multidimensional, avaliando não apenas a renda como fonte de privações, mas os demais acessos, como saúde, educação, moradia, trabalho, entre outros, que garantem o mínimo de dignidade no contexto da sociedade civil. Assim, o estudo realiza uma reflexão acerca da pobreza criminalizada por meio da segregação e da marginalização impostas pela sociedade desigual sob a perspectiva do paradoxo estrutural. A partir de uma análise qualitativa, a pesquisa faz uso do método de abordagem hipotético-dedutivo e considera, por fim, que as condutas discriminatórias, com relação a indivíduos que vivem em situação de pobreza, acarretam atos de violência e violam os direitos humanos. Reforçar o exercício das liberdades individuais é de suma importância para uma sociedade efetivamente livre e igualitária.

As perdas tanto qualitativas como as quantitativas podem ocorrer na medida que as sementes ficam mais tempo na lavoura, o que se chama de armazenagem a campo após a ocorrência da maturação fisiológica. Essas perdas ocorridas no campo podem se tornar significativas ao longo do armazenamento nas unidades armazenadora devido em grande parte estarem diretamente relacionada ao teor de água, fator decisivo para manter o potencial de armazenamento à níveis seguros, o qual é de extrema importância para evitar a deterioração das sementes. Nas unidades de armazenamento, o tipo de material da embalagem é essencial, uma vez que as trocas de umidade com o meio ambiente são facilitadas por estas. o trabalho teve como objetivo verificar os efeitos dos tratamentos utilizados no estudo, como as temperaturas do ar de secagem, como o tempo de armazenamento em dois tipos de material das embalagens dos atributos de qualidade das sementes de milho. Foram analisados os atributos de germinação, comprimento de raiz das plântulas, matéria seca e umidade das sementes em cada época de armazenamento. Os resultados alcançados nas condições do experimento permitem concluir que a combinação de temperatura de 70-75 foi a que mais afetou os atributos de qualidade independente da época e embalagens utilizadas.
