Published: May 2023

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a public health concern of 21st century. Each year, over million people die from CKD resulting from the lack of proper diagnosis and treatment of this terrible disease of the urinary system. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) cause roughly 60% of all deaths worldwide. There is insufficient data in Rwanda for the management of kidney diseases and other NCDs for all health facilities. Renal substitution therapy appears to be the best solution for long–suffering patients with end-stage renal illness who want to survive. The study’s purpose was to find out the serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations among kidney transplanted patients at King Faisal Hospital of Rwanda, and to show the consequences linked with the transplantation of kidney. Methods: This was a retrospective study carried from November 2018 to December 2019. The data were collected from medical records at King Faisal Referral Hospital, and analysed with SPSS version 22. Results: BUN and serum creatinine concentrations ranged from 77.4 to 93.5% and 67.8 to 87.1%, respectively. BUN levels that were abnormally high ranged from 3.2 to 19.4%, while creatinine levels that were abnormally high ranged from 6.5 to 29.0%. BUN and creatinine levels that were abnormally low, ranged from 0.0 to 6.5 and 3.2 to 9.7%, respectively. Diabetes mellitus affected 19.35% of the study population, hypertension affected 35.48%, and antibodymediated rejection affected 6.45%. Conclusion: The slight change in biochemical parameters may be a problem after kidney transplantation. There should be a monitoring of biochemical parameters tests to prevent the post kidney transplantation complications.
Survey of the small mammal fauna in north-western Somogy county (Hungary), based on Barn Owl Tyto alba (Scopoli, 1769) pellet analysis
Authors: Purger Jenő J.
Published: May 2023

Barn Owl pellets were collected in Somogy county between 1994 and 2012, from 30 localities (investigated area: XM65, XM77, XM76, XM75, XM87, XM86, XM85, XM97 and XM96 UTM grids). In a total of 3114 Barn Owl pellets there were 9693 prey remnants (the prey per pellet ratio was 3.1). Small mammals were dominating (98.4%). Remnants of birds, amphibians and insects made up 1.6% of total prey. Mammal prey consisted of Soricomorpha (Crocidura leucodon, C. suaveolens, Sorex araneus, S. minutus, Neomys anomalus, N. fodines) 46.7%, Chiroptera (Eptesicus serotinus, Pipistrellus nathusii, Nyctalus noctula, Plecotus auritus, P. austriacus, Myotis myotis) 0.1% and Rodentia (Muscardinus avellanarius, Microtus agrestis, M. arvalis, M. oeconomus, M. subterraneus, Arvicola amphibius, Myodes glareolus, Apodemus agrarius, A. flavicollis, A. sylvaticus, A. uralensis, Micromys minutus, Mus musculus, M. spicilegus, Rattus norvegicus) 53.2%. In this paper, distribution data for 27 small mammal species are presented. Other important results include the confirmation of the occurrence of Pygmy Field Mouse (Apodemus uralensis), noted in two new locations (UTM: XM85, XM96) in Somogy county, as well as the finding of Root Vole (Microtus oeconomus) remnants from new localities (UTM: XM87, XM86, XM97, XM96).

The aim of our research was an ecofaunistic investigation of isopod communities living in different habitats (three different oak woods, two acacia woods, and a pine-grove) of a heterogeneous forest. In particular, we described and compared the species composition, the dominance structure and diversity indices of the communities (Shannon, Rényi) in the habitats. The researched area (“Községi forest”) situated near the Deseda-lake (Kaposvár, Somogy County). Nine Barber pitfall traps were laid in three parallel lines in six sampling patches. The traps had been working from March to November, 2011 and were emptied eleven times during this interval. The traps caught a total of 8769 isopods belonging to 10 species. Protracheonicus politus had the largest (80.21%) proportion of the total sample so this species is the dominant woodlouse of the Községi forest. The ratio of Porcellium collicola (12.77%), Trachelipus rathkii (4.56%) and Trachelipus ratzeburgii (1.96%) were also noticeable. The amount of the other species was low (1-50 specimens). Some of these species (Haplophthalmus danicus, Hyloniscus riparius, Trichoniscus provisorius) live in the soil or in decaying trees so usually they are under-represented in pitfall samples. An average of six species was found in each habitat. The highest numbers of species (7) occurred in the acacia forests and in an oak wood habitat, while the smallest (5) in another oak wood by the lake. The species compositions of an acacia and an oak wood were identical using Sørensen similarity index. The isopod community of the pine-grove was also similar. The sample of the ruderal weed vegetation differed in the highest degree from the woody habitats. By the results, the isopod community could be very similar in different woody habitats. We found the highest Shannon diversity values in the weedy habitat. The Rényi diversity ordering gave the same result.

The Church as a Physical and Singular Assembly of Covenanted Believers
Authors: Nelson Michael
Published: May 2023

The study of the church is a prominent issue among New Testament writers. Though the church has progressed and may look different in the twenty-first century than it did in the first century, its purpose and function described in the New Testament ought to remain the same. One such progression that many modern churches have promoted is the use of multiple locations. The multi-campus phenomenon of the church is a recent development in the history of Christianity. Even more popular and perhaps even more acceptable is the multiple gatherings of the church that occur in one place but at different times. In many ways, the multi-site and multiple-service church are an application of the hierarchical structure of the church which developed in the third century. Such practices compromise the principle of congregationalism, foundational to Baptist churches, for the benefit of pragmatic purposes. Therefore, this article will argue a necessary connection between congregationalism and the assembly to show that the local church is to be a physical and singular gathering of covenanted believers at one time and in one location.
Rationalist and Reductionist: Andrew Fuller’s Response to Robert Robinson in Six Letters
Authors: Rindels Ryan
Published: May 2023

Apologetic engagement was part and parcel of the ministry of Andrew Fuller. His most common opponents embraced extreme forms of rationalism that could not be reconciled with orthodox Calvinistic theology. Socinianism, with its denial of the deity of Christ and the doctrine of the Trinity, posed a threat to Particular Baptist churches. Fellow Baptist pastor Robert Robinson was a Socinian sympathizer, influenced by a rationalism that stripped his theology of mystery, tension, and nuance. In six letters to Robinson, Andrew Fuller addresses various topics drawn from Robinson’s writings and ministry that pertain to human nature, ethics, and hermeneutics from a confessional perspective in an Enlightenment context.
A Novel Method for Optimizing Parameters influencing the Bearing Capacity of Geosynthetic Reinforced Sand Using RSM, ANN, and Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Lafifi Brahim , Rouaiguia Ammar , Soltani El Alia
Published: May 2023

In this study, a novel method is proposed to optimize the reinforced parameters influencing the bearing capacity of a shallow square foundation resting on sandy soil reinforced with geosynthetic. The parameters to be optimized are reinforcement length (L), the number of reinforcement layers (N), the depth of the topmost layer of geosynthetic (U), and the vertical distance between two reinforcement layers (X). To achieve this objective, 25 laboratory small-scale model tests were conducted on reinforced sand. This laboratory-scale model has used two geosynthetics as reinforcement materials and one sandy soil. Firstly, the effect of reinforcement parameters on the bearing load was investigated using the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Both response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural networks (ANN) tools were applied and compared to model bearing capacity. Finally, the multiobjective genetic algorithm (MOGA) coupled with RSM and ANN models was used to solve multi objective optimization problems. The design of bearing capacity is considered a multi-objective optimization problem. In this regard, the two conflicting objectives are the need to maximize bearing capacity and minimize the cost. According to the obtained results, an informed decision regarding the design of the bearing capacity of reinforced sand is reached.

Introduction. Nowadays, obesity is considered as a chronic metabolic disease that occurs at any age. The relevance of the study is defined by the high prevalence of obese people

The objective was a psychological assessment of the level of compliance, emotional state, characteristics of eating behavior and satisfaction with the quality of life in patients with morbid obesity before and after bariatric surgery.

Methods and materials. The study included 30 patients with morbid obesity who underwent bariatric surgery aged 26 to 53 years. Psychodiagnostic techniques and clinical scales were used to determine the level of compliance, emotional state and features of eating behavior.

Results. The study showed that in patients with morbid obesity after bariatric surgery, the type of eating behavior changed towards stronger compliance to the diet, their emotional state improved but at the same time, satisfaction with the quality of life decreased. 6 months after the bariatric surgery, compliance to medical recommendations in patients decreased. Patients began to violate the prescribed regimen, depreciated the possible consequences and complications, and began to neglect some aspects of treatment and dietary compliance.

Conclusion. It is important to pay attention to the creation of preventive programs aimed at informing patients about food composition and caloric value, awareness of habitual behavioral reactions to food stimuli and risk factors for repeated breakdowns.

Published: May 2023

Objective was to conduct a comparative analysis of routine clinical and laboratory parameters in two groups of patients with chronic viral hepatitis C (CHC) depending on the presence or absence of hepatic steatosis.

Methods and materials. The observational retrospective cross-sectional study included 411 patients with CHC, of which 43.80 % were those with hepatic steatosis. The studied parameters were routine clinical and laboratory parameters, the viral genotype, as well as formalized results of a liver biopsy and ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs. To assess the differences between the two groups, the following were calculated: Pearson’s test, two-tailed Fisher’s test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Spearman’s correlation coefficient, and partial correlation coefficient.

Results. It was found that CHC patients with hepatic steatosis were older and had a higher body mass index (BMI) than patients without hepatic steatosis (p<0.01). Among patients with hepatic steatosis, the 3a genotype of the virus (p<0.001) and advanced stages of liver fibrosis (p<0.01) were more often detected, higher concentrations of hepatic transaminase (p£0.001) and iron (p<0 .01) in blood serum were observed, as well as higher liver (p<0.001) and pancreas (p<0.001) sizes on ultrasound than among patients without hepatic steatosis.

Conclusion. Age, BMI, viral genotype, stage of liver fibrosis, ALT, AST, GGT, and iron levels, as well as liver and pancreas size are potential predictors of the presence of hepatic steatosis in CHC patients.
Ground State Structure of Helium and Phosphorus Isotopes using the Radial Wave Functions of Harmonic-Oscillator and Hulthen Potentials
Authors: Hameed Ameen M. , Ridha Arkan R.
Published: May 2023

The ground state density distributions and electron scattering Coulomb form factors of Helium (4,6,8He) and Phosphorate (27,31P) isotopes are investigated in the framework of nuclear shell model. For stable (4He) and (31P) nuclei, the core and valence parts are studied through Harmonic-oscillator (HO) and Hulthen potentials. Correspondingly, for exotic (6,8He) and (27P) nuclei, the HO potential is applied to the core parts only, while the Hulthen potential is applied to valence parts. The parameters for HO and Hulthen are chosen to reproduce the available experimental size radii for all nuclei under study. Finally, the CO component of electron scattering charge form factors are also investigated. Unfortunately, there is no analytic solution to the Hulthen potential except for the  states which are harnessed to the current calculation.

Published: May 2023

This research aims to study the suitability of the Fatha Formation clay deposits for the brick industry in the Zurbatiya area, Wasit Government. Two sites (Al-Salam police station and Al-Taff station) were selected. The clay deposits were subjected to particle size analysis, atterberg limits, chemical and mineralogical analyses. The samples have 31.45% clay, 52.91% silt, and 15.64% sand. Chemical analyses revealed that SiO2 and CaO are the clay deposits' main components, indicating the high content of quartz and calcium carbonate. The mineralogical analysis by XRD techniques indicated that quartz, calcite, feldspar, gypsum, and dolomite are the non-clay minerals; Kaolinite, illite, palygorskite and chlorite are the most clay minerals, followed by the mixed layer (montmorillonite-chloride). Clay brick samples were formed, dried and then fired using a particular firing program. The produced bricks have good water absorption (20-24.06%), compressive strength (36.23-41.63 N/mm2), and efflorescence (moderate – slight to nill). The properties of the produced clay bricks agree with the requirements of class A and B of the Iraqi Standard Specifications No.25,1993, British (BS 3921, 1985 ), and American  Standard (ASTM C10, 2010).

Authors: Abdul Jabar Mohammed A. B.
Published: May 2023

X-ray phase analysis was used to analyse the composition of Pb8Na(2±x)(PO4)6 (lead-sodium apatite structure) with different X values (X values refer to changes in the excess or lack of sodium (2±X) in the apatite structure): -0.15, -0.10, -0.05, 0.00, +0.05, +0.10, and +0.15. The ceramic method (solid-state reaction) was used to synthesize all samples at a temperature of 800 °C. Many programs, such as match software (v.3), PDF-4 database (ICCD), and database PDF-4 (ASTM), were used to study the single phases. The least-squares method was used to calculate the unit cell parameters. Results have shown that the following compositions: Pb8Na2(PO4)6, Pb8Na1.95(PO4)6, Pb8Na1.90(PO4)6, and Pb8Na1.85(PO4)6 contain only the pure phase of lead sodium apatite structure. On the other hand, the compositions of Pb8Na2.05(PO4)6, Pb8Na2.10(PO4)6, and Pb8Na2.15(PO4)6 showed other phases besides the phases of lead sodium apatite structure.

Using Microalga Scenedesmus quadricauda for the Improvement of Municipal Wastewater Quality
Authors: Qader Muzhda Qasim , Shek Yahya Ahmed
Published: May 2023

Microalgae culture is an interesting step in wastewater treatment since it provides a tertiary biotreatment while also producing potentially valuable biomass that may be used for a variety of applications. Microalgae cultures, with their ability to utilize inorganic nitrogen and phosphate for growth, provide an elegant solution to tertiary and quaternary treatments. Scenedesmus quadricauda culture was employed with three different doses, 2g/l, 1g/l, and 0.2g/l, to investigate the impacts of microalgae in wastewater. Standard procedures were used to measure samples for physicochemical parameters such as pH, EC, PO4, NO3, NO2, NH4 and BOD5 every third day for 21 days.  Results showed that a higher dose of 2g.l-1 was the most effective for removing the highest rate of nutrients. It was confirmed by significant differences (p≤0.05) between all doses. Ammonium pass had the highest removal percentage of 97%, followed by NO3 with 95.7%, and BOD5 with a range of 90.3 to 93.5 %. Decreases in nutrients were accompanied by a rise in chlorophyll content, with the greatest biomass of 1.52 mg. l-1 on the 17th day of the experiment. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the methods that microalgae use to bioremediate organic contaminants in aquatic ecosystems.

Following the interruption of the First World War, the French Navy’s higher naval school reopened its doors to receive selected officers admitted for advanced studies. In keeping with its mission statement, the naval war school prepared them for staff duties and higher command positions appropriate to their competencies and rank. Most were French naval officers, though foreign officers from other navies allied to France also attended on a yearly basis during the interwar period. Coursework included significant research and writing components, in the form of major papers focused on specific naval topics and themes. This research note provides contextual information on the interwar École de guerre navale, a list of the French and foreign naval officers attending by class year, and translates into English the titles of student papers written in French, where known and available in French repositories. Après l’interruption de la Première Guerre mondiale, l’École supérieure de marine de Paris ouvre de nouveau ses portes pour recevoir des officiers sélectionnés ayant été admis aux études supérieures. Conformément à son énoncé de mission, l’École de guerre navale les a préparés à des fonctions d’étatmajor et à des postes de commandement supérieur appropriés à leurs compétences et à leur grade. La plupart étaient des officiers de la Marine nationale, bien que des officiers étrangers appartenant à d’autres marines alliées à la France aient également participé chaque année pendant l’entredeux- guerres. Les cours comprenaient d’importants éléments de recherche et de rédaction, sous la forme d’articles majeurs axés sur les sujets et des thèmes spécifiques se rapportant à la Marine. Cette note de recherche fournit des informations contextuelles sur l’École de guerre navale de l’entre-deux guerres, une liste des officiers de marine français et étrangers presents par année de classe, et traduit en anglais les titres des articles d’étudiants rédigés en français, lorsqu’ils sont connus et disponibles dans les référentiels français.
Inselbergs: potential conservation areas for plant diversity in the face of anthropization
Authors: Tindano Elycée , Lankoandé Benjamin , Porembski Stefan , Thiombiano Adjima
Published: May 2023

Faced with the loss of biodiversity, particularly plant diversity, due to anthropogenic pressure, particular ecosystems such as inselbergs can constitute refuge areas. The objective of this study is to determine the conservation potential of plant biodiversity on inselbergs in Burkina Faso. A comparative study was carried out between inselberg’s vegetation and the surrounding plains vegetation. In each of these vegetation types, stratified and random sampling was adopted and data were collected in plots of 900 m² for the woody stratum and 100 m² for the herbaceous stratum. The specific diversity was evaluated through the effective numbers of Hill of order Q = 0; 1; 2. The Hill index does not vary between inselbergs and plains and thus reflects a strong similarity in floristic diversity between the two ecosystems. Sorensen’s similarity coefficient also shows a similarity in terms of floristic composition between inselbergs and surrounding plains. In inselbergs, relict species that have disappeared from the surrounding plains of some phytogeographic sectors occur. The flora of inselbergs is also characterised by indicative species of anthropized ecosystem absence. However, these species are present on the surrounding plains. Indeed, the flora of inselbergs is characterised by 11 endemic species. Inselberg’s vegetation is characterised by unique plant communities such as rock pools and Afrotrilepis pilosa mats. The exploitation and mortality rates of woody plants are significantly higher on the surrounding plains than on the inselbergs. The flora and vegetation of inselbergs show the absence of indicator species of disturbed ecosystems. They present endemic and relict species and stable woody stands. Due to the steep slope, lack of suitable soil for agriculture and sacred status of someones, the inselbergs constitute a refuge for plant species and thus contribute to the conservation of biodiversity like the protected areas.

Ao fim, foram selecionados onze estudos, publicados nos idiomas português, espanhol e inglês. Os resultados mostraram que o abandono está relacionado a fatores de diversas esferas, com destaque para as esferas social, da saúde e a do próprio tratamento. Como perfil das pessoas dos casos de abandono, em geral, observou-se que elas são economicamente ativas, com faixa etária entre 15 e 49 anos, possuem baixa escolaridade, baixa renda e é comum que os usos abusivos de álcool e drogas sejam apresentados como comorbidades relevantes. Portanto, o trabalho evidenciou os principais fatores associados ao abandono do tratamento de tuberculose e a importância da participação de diferentes atores como forças que somarão para diminuir a ocorrência do problema em questão.

Introdução: Diabetes Mellitus é uma doença crônica resultante de defeitos na secreção do hormônio insulina e/ou de sua ação prejudicada no organismo. Indivíduos diabéticos podem apresentar complicações bucais significativas como, por exemplo, a doença periodontal. Objetivo: Avaliar o conhecimento dos endocrinologistas cadastrados/ativos no Conselho Regional de Medicina da Paraíba quanto ao manejo clínico bucal de pacientes em rastreamento e tratamento para diabetes. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo transversal, no qual 47 endocrinologistas participaram por meio de formulário estruturado, baseado nas diretrizes conjuntas da Sociedade Brasileira de Periodontologia e da Sociedade Brasileira de Endocrinologia e Metabologia (2022). Todas as análises foram conduzidas com auxílio do software IBM SPSS Statistics versão 20.0 e as variáveis do estudo foram analisadas por meio do teste Qui-quadrado de Pearson (p<0,05). As variáveis consideradas relevantes para o desfecho foram avaliadas usando o algoritmo CHAID (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector). Resultados: A maioria dos participantes tinha até 40 anos (55,3%), era do sexo feminino (91,5%) e tinha, no máximo, 10 anos de tempo de experiência (55,3%). A partir da análise multivariada, por meio da Árvore de Decisão (CHAID), verificou-se a associação entre possuir manejo clínico bucal adequado endocrinologistas com faixa etária >40 anos e com conhecimento sobre os sinais clínicos da doença periodontal. Conclusões: Apesar do conhecimento teórico dos endocrinologistas ser relativamente satisfatório, ainda existe uma lacuna entre conhecimento teórico e prática clínica na conduta da maioria desses profissionais, que ainda se distancia do que é preconizado pelas evidências científicas e diretrizes atuais.
The polemic of F. M. Dostoevsky with Catholicism: towards the formulation of the problem.
Authors: Iudakhin Artem Aleksandrovich
Published: May 2023

The subject of the study is the journalistic work of F. M. Dostoevsky in the aspect of his religious and confessional problems, which includes a complex of specific motives, among which the anti-Catholic question stands out. The author points out that the Catholic theme, the genesis of which dates back to the early 1860s, will become one of the leading ones for all subsequent publicistic and artistic creativity of Dostoevsky. Criticism of Catholicism as a sum of ideas, denunciation of the Catholic Church, correspondence polemics with the anti—Christian and even "anti-Christ" principle of papal Catholicism - all these topics are implicit or explicit in the novels of the Great Pentateuch and publicistic articles by F. M. Dostoevsky, influencing the conceptual design and architectonics of the works. It is based on this fact that the problem of the genesis and evolution of the writer's anti-Catholic views acquires a relevant significance in literary studies and Dostoevistics. The author demonstrates that the Catholic theme appears in Dostoevsky's field of vision in the first half of the 1860s in connection with the events unfolding in the west of the Russian Empire and on the Apennine Peninsula - the Polish uprising of 1863-1864 and the Italian Risorgimento. Catholic problems initially arise in Dostoevsky's field of view as a journalistic fact — various eventful incidents, everyday episodes captured by foreign and domestic press. The author of the article believes that it was the factology of the "Polish question" and the "Roman question", along with the anti-Catholic rhetoric of Slavophiles and soil scientists, that had a decisive influence on the formation of Dostoevsky's steady rejection of Catholicism, with which the writer will confidently and convincingly polemize until the end of his days.

Published: May 2023

The purpose of the study is to determine the place of educational discourse in the system of institutional discourses and to actualize modern approaches and methods of educational discourse. Unlike some other types of discourse, educational discourse is subject to changes under the influence of extralinguistic factors, including the development of scientific thought and technological progress, achievements of psychology and sociology, transformation of the methodology of the educational process, and others. The article presents the main characteristics of the educational discourse, describes the participants of the discourse and their status roles, postulates the importance of the educational text as a center of communication in educational discourse, and identifies new formats of information transmission in the structure of educational discourse.   The variability of the content side of the educational discourse requires the attention of linguistic researchers at each time stage, this determines the scientific novelty of the work. As a result, certain conclusions have been formulated, including that the educational text has such features as factual, conciseness, brevity and others. The texts of educational discourse exist at the levels of teacher—student, teacher—teacher and student—student relations. They are associated with various communication situations within the framework of education. Educational discourse is always purposeful, includes methods of information transmission, is based on an educational text, has a number of precedent texts of certain genres in its structure. The opinion of some linguists on the prospects for the development of this area of scientific thought is given/
Perspectives of Nurse Educators Towards Technology-based Education in Selected KwaZulu-Natal Nursing Colleges
Authors: Ziqubu Siyabonga , Orton Penelope Margaret
Published: May 2023

Technology-centred education aims to create an interactive teaching and learning environment based on the use of computers and the Internet. It also promotes the workability of instructional processes and enables connections between academic staff and upcoming professional nurses. Academic staff has to be at the forefront of the latest transforming technology. Despite many types of technologies being accessible, lecturers at the KwaZulu-Natal College of Nursing campuses are not embracing technology-based education. The aim of this study was to describe nurse educators’ attitudes and forecasts towards technology-based education in KwaZulu-Natal. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional survey research design was used. Data were collected via self-administered questionnaires from nurse educators and clinical facilitators on 10 KwaZulu-Natal College of Nursing campuses using non-probability, purposive sampling. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 was used to analyse the data. Descriptive statistics utilising percentages, frequencies and means were also used to analyse data. Statistical tests included t-test and/or ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation analysis as well as regression analysis. Study results indicated that mean scores for attitudes to using technology ranged from 2.76 to 6.34, while the forecast to use technology in future mean scores ranged from 6.20 to 6.45. The study results highlighted that nurse educators in KwaZulu-Natal intend to employ technology to support teaching and learning, and they have positive attitudes towards technology-based education. It is recommended that nurse educators be provided with technical support and mentorship to enable them to adopt technology-based education.
CRIAÇÃO DE NOVOS DIREITOS PELO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL
Authors: Arouche Junior Deomar da Assencao , Haydée Porto de Carvalho Márcia
Published: May 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a possibilidade da criação de novos direitos mediante a atuação do Supremo Tribunal Federal. Utilizou-se como ponto de partida os estudos sobre teorias da Constituição Viva (Living Constitution), concretistas de interpretação, sentenças manipulativas e diálogo institucional. Realizou-se a pesquisa por meio da análise documental de decisões do Supremo Tribunal Federal proferidas nos últimos cinco anos, que versaram sobre direitos de grupos minoritários ou vulneráveis. A escolha por casos envolvendo esses grupos ocorreu em virtude de serem os que normalmente possuem menor representatividade e mais necessitam de tutela jurisdicional. Por intermédio do método dedutivo, buscou-se verificar, nessas situações, em que medida a Corte buscou a solução mediante a sua própria decisão, optando por preencher a lacuna por meio de uma sentença aditiva, e quando optou por provocar o diálogo institucional com os demais poderes, visando a solucionar o caso proposto. Os resultados encontrados mostraram que de fato a Corte em alguns casos tem optado por impor ordens e em outros sugerir medidas aos demais poderes adotando postura dialógica para obter a solução do caso em discussão.

Published: May 2023

O presente trabalho objetiva tratar da infração ao direito fundamental à vida do nascituro ocasionada por votos proferidos pela Primeira Turma do Supremo Tribunal Federal – STF – por ocasião do julgamento do HC 124.306/RJ, que descriminalizou o aborto praticado até a décima segunda semana gestacional, em um caso concreto, no contexto da hierarquização dos direitos fundamentais. Inicialmente, abordou-se o tema direito fundamental, com ênfase na análise do direito à vida do nascituro. Em seguida, analisou-se os fundamentos da decisão proferida no julgamento do HC 124.306/RJ. Posteriormente, abordou-se a posição prioritária do direito à vida do nascituro em relação aos direitos da mulher, no contexto da hierarquização dos direitos fundamentais, como fundamento para garantia do primeiro e não do segundo, como deliberado pelo STF na decisão analisada. Para a concretização desse artigo foi utilizada a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, empregou-se o método descritivo- analítico, desenvolvido por meio de pesquisa teórica. Concluindo-se que a decisão da Primeira Turma do STF, analisada nessa pesquisa, configura afronta ao direto fundamental à vida do nascituro, de máxima hierarquia no contexto do reconhecimento da hierarquização dos direitos fundamentais.
CONSTITUCIONALIZAÇÃO DO DIREITO ADMINISTRATIVO PARA UM MODELO DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA DEMOCRÁTICA
Authors: Dezan Sandro Lucio
Published: May 2023

O presente artigo analisa o movimento hermenêutico de constitucionalização do direito administrativo, a partir de suas causas e consequências e, notadamente, subsidiado pela teoria da mitigação do princípio da legalidade pela nova concepção de juridicidade, a propiciar o exercício da função administrativa ao amparo da interpretação valorativa da Constituição Federal. Por meio do método dedutivo, concluir-se-á que a Administração Pública, em especial no exercício da função atípica de decisão jurídica para a concreção do direito-texto, encontra-se vinculada, a priori da lei ordinária, ao direito constitucional, para o fim de realizar direitos fundamentais como face substancial de um interesse público moldado pela participação social, declinando o conteúdo dialógico e democrático dos processos de tomada de decisões estatais.
CONSENSO E DISSENSO NA JUSTIÇA RESTAURATIVA
Authors: Rolim Marcos
Published: May 2023

O artigo discute as ambiguidades teóricas e indefinições conceituais presentes no movimento da justiça restaurativa. A partir da revisão das contribuições clássicas e da polêmica internacional em curso, sistematizamos os elementos que constituem o núcleo de consenso internacional restaurativo e os elementos centrais do dissenso que tem se ampliado, especialmente a partir das visões “purista” e “maximalista”. Examinamos, então, em pesquisa no Google Scholar, os dez artigos publicados em português de autoria de autores brasileiros mais bem situados no ranking bibliométrico do software Publish or Perish. Encontramos que as referidas ambiguidades e indefinições tornam possível vertentes restaurativas no Brasil com posições contrastantes, o que sugere a necessidade de uma base teórica mais consistente para o movimento restaurativo. Concluímos sugerindo um caminho para a superação de algumas das polarizações existentes.
