Authors: Wahzuni Fauziah , Nurcholis Moch.
Published: September 2024

Abstrak: Kemajemukan adalah fenomena yang tidak dapat dihindari karena eksistensinya yang melekat dipelbagai aspek kehidupan, termasuk dalam kehidupan beragama, sehingga dikenal istilah pluralitas Agama yang didukung legitimasi Al-Qur’an. Namun seiring berjalannya waktu, dinamika penafsiran yang didukung kondisi sosio-historis masyarakat menjadikan ayat pluralitas sebagai landasan isu pluralisme Agama dengan berbagai factor yang menguatkan argument relevansi antara ayat pluralitas dengan isu pluralism agama. Berangkat dari transisi atau pergeseran makna pluralitas menjadi pluralisme agama dengan pendekatan teori Double Movement Fazlu Rahman, maka pertanyaan yang perlu dibahas dalam pembahasan ini adalah Bagaimana proses pemaknaan & penafsiran QS. Al-Baqa>rah Ayat 62 perspektif teori Double Movement? Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan library research, Teknik pengumpulan data dengan proses dokumentasi dan dianalisis dengan teknik deskriptif analitik. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tunas pergeseran makna pluralitas menjadi pluralisme agama disinyalir mulai muncul di penafsiran mufassir era kontemporer, diantaranya Muhammad Abduh dan Rasyid Ridha dalam Tafsir al-Mannar, lantas menjadi pondasi dasar dan dikembangkan oleh para pemikir kontemporer seperti Djohan Efendi, Abdul Moqsith Ghazali, Ulil Abshar Abdala dan Nurcholis Majid. Sedangkan faktor pergeseran makna tersebut dipengaruhi beberapa factor internal diantaranya: adanya lafadz musytarak, dhamir, naskh Mansukh, qira’at dan gramatika, serta faktor eksternal, seperti: akidah mufassir, perbedaan kritik sanad dan matan, madzhab, kondisi geografis dan konteks social politik lainnya.

Authors: G. O. Nworie, , C. C. Onochie,
Published: September 2024

The study examined the effect of bank loans on entrepreneurial productivity in Nigeria. Based on an ex-post facto research strategy, secondary data were gleaned from the bulletins of the Central Bank of Nigeria and National Bureau of Statistics, covering the period from 2008 to 2022. Descriptive statistics was applied to summarize the key variables under study. In addition to the descriptive analysis conducted, Jarque-Bera test of normality, Breusch-Godfrey Serial Correlation LM Test, Harvey test of heteroskedasticity and Ramsey RESET test for linearity were conducted to assess the validity of the ordinary least square (OLS) regression used in hypothesis testing. The findings from the validated OLS estimates revealed that entrepreneurial productivity in Nigeria is significantly fueled by bank loans to small and medium scale enterprises (β = N115.16; p-value = 0.006672). In conclusion, banks play a pivotal role in enhancing the productivity of entrepreneurial ventures by facilitating easier access to credit. Therefore, we recommend that the government should implement policies that reduce barriers to credit for SMEs, such as lowering interest rates on loans and providing loan guarantees. This will help more entrepreneurs access the financing required to enhance their productivity.

Authors: Manila Manila , Sharma Sandhya , Kumar Lokesh , Bhatt Neha
Published: September 2024

Ortho aminobenzyl alcohol was oxidised by potassium persulphate [K2S2O8] in an acetone-water medium in a process that is catalysed by Ag (I). The principal reaction product of this reaction is ortho-aminobenzaldehyde. A novel and straightforward kinetic spectrophotometric approach was developed for the microgram determination of ortho-aminobenzyl alcohol [OABAlc] in the range of 49.26-209.36 µg/mL based on the best fit circumstances in terms of pH, dielectric constant, temperature, etc. presented in the current paper is a way for doing this. The correlation coefficient (r) for OABAlc was found to be in the range of 0.988 to 0.999 indicating a high level of precision in the data analysis and remarkably good data correlation.As a result, the procedures outlined above are ideally suited for determining OABAlc in micrograms.

Published: September 2024

Cognitive dysfunction frequently arises as a complication of doxorubicin (DOX) in cancer chemotherapy. This investigation assesses the neuroprotective potential of levetiracetam (LEVE) in countering DOX resulted cognitive impairments, oxidative stress, and neuronal apoptosis in rats. The experimental rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain (males) were divided into control, challenge, and treatment groups. DOX (2 mg/kg, i.p.) was used as a challenge and dosed four times (one dose per week) to animals, while LEVE (100 and 200 mg/kg) was administered for 30 days orally to the treatment groups. The cognitive defects were studied by means of a novel object recognition (NOR) test. The oxidative stress biomarkers (MDA, CAT, and GSH), and apoptosis-related neurodegenerative targets (Bcl2, Bax, and Caspase-3) were studied in the homogenate of brain. The information from the study showed that DOX administration significantly lessened the explorative time and discriminative index. Besides, DOX was found to enhance the markers indicative of oxidative stress and neurodegeneration in brain homogenate. LEVE exhibited a dose-dependent reversal of DOX-induced changes in cognitive parameters as well as oxidative (reduced MDA; elevated GSH levels) and neurodegenerative (elevated Bcl2; reduced Bax and Caspase-3 levels) biomarkers. At the end, molecular modelling approaches were added to strengthen our results. In conclusion, observations of the study indicated that LEVE enhanced the cognitive defect mitigated by DOX. The neuroprotective property of LEVE can be related to the attenuation of neurodegenerative biomarker values, which in turn is due to a reduction in oxidative stress.

Authors: Pramestiyani Mustika , Soetrisno Soetrisno , Indarto Dono , Purwanto Bambang
Published: September 2024

Snake fruit is an Indonesian original plant cultivated in Turi District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Province. Our previous studies indicated that administrations of flour or ethanol extract of snake fruit seeds (SFS) could increase hemoglobin levels in female rats with anemia. However, anemia rats treated with higher doses of SFS flour and ethanol extract result in leukocytosis and lymphocytosis. Therefore, this study aimed to fractionate the ethanolic SFS extract based on its solubility and analyze its micronutrient and phytochemical contents. The SFS flour was macerated using 70% ethanol and then fractionated using n-hexane and ethyl acetate solvents. Another SFS flour was extracted using hot water as a control. Micronutrients in SFS fractions and water extract were measured using AAS, while the phytochemical content was analyzed using the GC-MS and LC/MS-MS. The iron level in water fraction 2 (33.00 mg/L) was slightly higher than that of hot water extract (32.75 mg/L). The Zn level in the hot water extract (10.25mg/L) was around two-fold that of the Zn level in water fractions 1 and 2(4.25 and 5.25mg/L, respectively). Vitamin C level in water fraction 2(52.8mg/100g) was similar to the hot water extract (52.5mg/100g), higher than in water fraction 1(48.4mg/100g). More bioactive compounds were detected in the ethyl acetate fraction than n-hexane and water SFS fractions. In conclusion, the SFS water fraction 2 contains iron, vitamin C, and Zn levels higher than the SFS water fraction 1 and other SFS fractions, but it has similar levels to the hot water extract. The ethyl acetate fraction has flavonoids, caffeic acids, gallic acids, and alkaloids, more prominent than in the water SFS fraction.

Published: September 2024

Wastewater treatment plants play a pivotal role in safeguarding the environment and public health by treating and purifying wastewater before it is released back into natural water bodies. These facilities are essential for mitigating the adverse environmental impacts of urbanization and industrialization, as they help prevent the contamination of rivers, lakes, and oceans with harmful pollutants. Efficient wastewater treatment plants are vital to ensure that the treated water meets regulatory standards and poses no threat to aquatic ecosystems and human communities. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the efficiency of Kenitra wastewater treatment plant process. Over a 6-month period, the study collected and analyzed wastewater samples at the plant's input and output, focusing on parameters such as BOD5, COD, SS, pH, temperature, conductivity, and heavy metals. The data was statistically analyzed using SPSS software, applying chi-square, Fisher's tests, and PCA to draw conclusions from the findings. The physico-chemical analysis of untreated wastewater revealed that most of the assessed parameters remained within acceptable discharge limits, indicating effective purification. Notably, the COD/BOD5 ratio fell within the 2 to 3 range, signifying the wastewater's high biodegradability. Water conductivity, a pivotal water quality assessment indicator, was found to average 1969.00±214.958 µs/cm. The treated wastewater exhibited an acidic pH, with an average value of 5, underscoring the need for coagulant optimization and pH adjustment prior to discharge. On the other hand, the monthly mean values of heavy metals have significantly decreased, especially during April and May. While these findings are promising, it is important to broaden the sampling across additional months for a comprehensive assessment. This research serves as a foundational resource for future studies on the Kenitra WWTP, offering insights that can aid in optimizing plant performance and exploring alternative treatment methods.

Чак категориясы – этиш сөз түркүмүнүн эң негизги, болгондо да башка сөз түркүмдөрүнөн айырмалоочу категория болуп саналат. Анткени этиш сөздөр кыймыл-аракет же кыймылдык ал-абалды билдирүү менен, кыймыл-аракеттин, окуя, кубулуштун байыркы өткөн чакта же жакынкы өткөн чакта болуп өткөндүгү; дайыма кайталанып турары, учурда да болуп жаткандыгы; келечекте болорунун күтүлүүсү сыяктуу тилдин мезгилдик алкагынын көп катмарын туюндурат.

Optimizing Chaos: Aerodynamic Design using High-Fidelity Scale Resolving Simulations
Authors: Vermeire Brian
Published: September 2024

Current industry-standard aerodynamic shape optimization is performed using a combination of Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solvers and adjoint-based optimization. However, despite decades of development RANS is often deficient, particularly for separated and transitional flows. High-fidelity scale-resolving techniques, such as Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), have been demonstrably more accurate in these flow regimes. Over the past decade enabling technologies for efficient high-fidelity simulations, including high-order spatial discretizations, temporal discretizations, and many-core hardware architectures, have significantly reduced their computational cost. However, significantly less attention has been dedicated to the development of suitable optimization frameworks for LES/DNS. This talk will focus on two recently proposed optimization frameworks for LES/DNS. The first is a gradient-based approach, which uses a combination of reduced order modelling, least squares shadowing, and the adjoint. The second is a gradient-free approach using Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS). It will be demonstrated that both of these frameworks are suitable for the fundamental chaotic behavior of scale resolving simulations. The utility of these frameworks will then be demonstrated for general chaotic systems, aerodynamic optimization, and aeroacoustic optimization including low-pressure turbine cascades.
Simulation and modeling of high-speed gas-particle flows: insights from 18th-century cannon firings to particle-resolved simulations
Authors: Capecelatro Jesse
Published: September 2024

High-speed (compressible) flows laden with solid particles involve complex interactions between turbulence, shock waves, and a disperse phase.

Examples can be found in numerous environmental and engineering applications, from volcanic eruptions to jet-induced cratering during spacecraft landings.

In this talk, I will review the fluid dynamics associated with gas-particle flows under such extreme conditions. An overview of existing Mach number-dependent drag laws will be presented, with origins from 18th-century cannon fire, and new insights from particle-resolved numerical simulations.

New numerical methods uniquely designed to address this class of flows will be presented, in addition to high-resolution simulations that allow us to probe turbulence and Mach number effects at the sub-particle scale and at scales that encompass millions of particles.
Typologie textuelle et types d’écriture : facteurs déterminants de la fréquence d’utilisation des opérations d'écriture dans les productions écrites des scripteurs lycéens en Algérie
Authors: BELHACHI Ahmed , BENAMAR Rabéa
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT: The addition, deletion, replacement and displacement represent the fundamental writing operations of textual genetics; they are identifiable in the writings of writers as well as in those of students (Grésillon, 1994, 2008), and they remain the fruit of a metalinguistic reflection on writing (Fabre-Cols, 1987). It is, in fact, in relation to the work of Claudine Fabre-Cols (2002), who was interested in the rate of presence of each writing operation in the writings of schoolchildren, that we seek to understand how these operations are classified in the writings of young scribblers in the FLE class in Algeria. We analyzed genetically the writings produced by the young scribblers of 2nd year secondary to check the impact of the textual typology and the types of writing on the presence and the predominance of the operations of writing.
RÉSUMÉ : L'ajout, la suppression, le remplacement et le déplacement, représentent les opérations d'écriture fondamentales de la génétique textuelle, elles sont repérables aussi bien dans les écrits des écrivains que dans ceux des élèves (Grésillon, 1994, 2008), elles demeurent le fruit d’une réflexion métalinguistique sur l'écrit (Fabre-Cols, 1987). C’est, en fait, par rapport aux travaux de Claudine Fabre-Cols (2002), qui s'est intéressée au taux de présence de chaque opération d'écriture dans les écrits des écoliers, que nous cherchons à comprendre comment ces opérations se classent dans les écrits des jeunes scripteurs en classe de FLE en Algérie. Nous avons analysé génétiquement les écrits produits par les jeunes scripteurs de 2ème année secondaire pour vérifier l'impact de la typologie textuelle et des types d'écriture sur la présence et la prédominance des opérations d'écriture.

Authors: GOUIDER Salsabil
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT: Writing the mystery is a stylistic exercise that characterizes the short tale “The Sphinx without a secret” by Oscar Wilde. This article offers a study of the different stylistic processes and techniques adopted in the inscription of the mystery which singularizes the romantic adventure of an elusive woman, Lady Alroy and a reasonable man, Lord Murchison.  Wilde's use of several language tools and the mise en abyme in the narration is the factor behind the intrusion of this mystery which not only arouses the curiosity of the hero and the reader because of the fabulous image of this woman, but it also touches on the language adopted by Wilde in the particular quest to decipher fiction from mystery.
RÉSUMÉ : L’écriture du mystère est un exercice de style qui caractérise le conte bref Le Sphinx qui n’a pas de secret d’Oscar Wilde. Cet article propose une étude des différents procédés de style et des techniques adoptées dans l’inscription du mystère qui singularise l’aventure amoureuse d’une femme insaisissable, lady Alroy et d’un homme raisonnable, lord Murchison. Le recours de Wilde à plusieurs outils langagiers et à la mise en abyme dans la narration, est le facteur de l’intrusion de ce mystère qui ne suscite pas seulement la curiosité du héros et du lecteur à cause de l’image fabuleuse de cette femme, mais il touche également le langage adopté par Wilde à la quête particulière du déchiffrement de la fiction du mystère.

Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly expanded across various fields, impacting society by transforming linguistic and cultural habits in translation and breaking down language barriers. While offering opportunities like instant translations and recognition software, caution is necessary due to AI's limitations, particularly in automatic translation. The evolving interaction between humans and machines creates new frontiers in global connectivity, prompting questions about their roles in translation for the humanities and social sciences. Our analysis explores the current state of AI, its possibilities, and tools, focusing on its role in literary and academic translation. We also delve into the limits and risks of AI, underscoring the vital role of the human translator. The central question revolves around whether AI, especially in automatic translation, can reliably serve the humanities. Our hypothesis asserts that the human translator is crucial, using knowledge and experience to provide authentic translations, with the machine acting as a legitimate complement, tempered by the cultural insight of the human translator.
RÉSUMÉ : L'intelligence artificielle (IA) s'est rapidement développée dans divers domaines, impactant la société en transformant les habitudes linguistiques et culturelles en matière de traduction et en éliminant les barrières linguistiques. Les possibilités qu’offre cette intelligence pour la traduction sont énormes. Toutefois, il est important de faire attention, car il s’agit enfin de machines programmées à cet effet. Le recours de plus en plus accru à ces machines de traduction qui évoluent rapidement suscite des interrogations des spécialistes de la traduction quant à la fiabilité et l’important domaine recouvert par ces dernières. D’autres questions émanent également sur leur conséquence et la place à occuper face au traducteur humain. C’est pourquoi notre analyse explore l’état actuel de l’IA, ses possibilités, ses outils et son rôle dans la traduction littéraire et académique. Il sera question, conjointement à cela, de voir les limites et les risques de l’IA, en soulignant le rôle vital du traducteur humain. En somme, la question centrale est de savoir si l’IA, en particulier dans la traduction automatique, peut servir de manière fiable les sciences humaines. Notre hypothèse affirme que l’intervention du traducteur humain dans cette équation est primordiale. Ses connaissances et son expérience seraient essentielles pour fournir des traductions authentiques.

Posthuman Bodies in the Making: Woman and Technology in The Girl Who Was Plugged In
Authors: OURNID Soumia , CHAAL Houaria
Published: September 2024

It has long been thought of ‘a world governed by technology’ as part of an unreached future. Nevertheless, the current reality is, in many aspects, a manifestation of what the works of science fiction once foresaw. The rapprochement between the content of this genre and its reification begs the question of survival, or rather, the shape of survival in a technological world. Hence, this article is an endeavor to reflect the influence of technology demonstrated in James Tiptree Jr.’s The Girl Who Was Plugged In (1973) on reality. To reach this end, the novella is regarded from a posthumanist prism with the aim of speculating the meaning and the making of the female mind and body in the Age of Machine. The paper also evokes aspects from the feminist and Marxist schools in relating facts with fiction to reflect upon the speculative dimension of the science fiction genre insofar as the schools provide a profound insight into the realistic social features that can be found in literary texts. The textual analysis reveals that technology feeds humans’ superficiality towards the female consciousness and physique, which is manifested in areas related to beauty standards, consumption, and love, and interferes with redefining the human by detaching the mind from the body.
Ideological Discourse Analysis of On-Screen Discourse on Terrorism
Authors: ELBAH Zoulaikha
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the current study is to shed light on the representation of Arabs and Muslims in Hollywood on-screen discourse on terrorism. It seeks to answer, especially, three main questions: What is the difference, if any, between pre- and post- 9/11 representation of Arabs and Muslims? Does post- 9/11 on-screen discourse reflect true experiences of soldiers in battlefields? And how is Islam perceived by westerners? To analyse the on-screen discourse, we have adopted Van Dijk’s model of Ideological Discourse Analysis. The chosen data consider pre-and post- 9/11 attacks. As such, it comprises six films before and after this event. The analysis of on-screen discourse reveals that after 9/11 attacks, there has been a shift from a comical representation to a serious one. Also, post- 9/11 on-screen discourse on terrorism either depicts or simulates true experiences of American soldiers in battlefields. Besides, Islam is represented as a threatening radical ideology against a peaceful world.
Citizen Science-Based Monitoring of Cavity-Nesting Wild Bees and Wasps – Benefits for Volunteers, Insects, and Ecological Science
Authors: Lindermann Lara , Grabener Swantje , Hellwig Niels , Stahl Johanna , Dieker Petra
Published: September 2024

Citizen science approaches are promising for raising awareness about the sensitivity of pollinators to environmental changes and simultaneously gathering data about their biology. Questions remain, however, about citizens’ ability to gather accurate data. Here, we present a citizen science monitoring approach of cavity-nesting wild bees and wasps in agricultural landscapes across Germany. By using nesting observation blocks (NOBs), which consist of individual wooden boards screwed together, volunteers record the colonisation and development of cavity-nesting Hymenoptera. To do this, they open the NOBs monthly and photograph each board individually. We tested if volunteers can be trained to accurately identify taxa from photographs by offering identification courses and an online quiz. For that purpose, twelve volunteers without taxonomic knowledge identified and counted larvae and cocoons of wild bees and wasps in 4,203 occupied cavities: 92.4% were correctly identified, 4.8% were incorrectly identified, and 2.8% were unidentifiable by experts. These results indicated that volunteers unfamiliar with these taxonomic groups successfully gained a high level of knowledge within one season supported by identification trainings. Using Wald chi-square tests, successful identification was mainly affected by the variability of the taxon. In view of increasing public demand for habitat restoration to halt and counteract declining pollinator populations, the proposed citizen science monitoring approach offers an opportunity for every interested citizen, regardless of their background knowledge, to engage with wild bees and wasps, and gain knowledge about their ecology.

Spinal Kord Yaralanmasında Probiyotik ve Prebiyotiklerin Etkisi: Mini Bir Derleme
Authors: Eroğlu Fatma Elif
Published: September 2024

Probiyotik ve prebiyotikler, bağırsak mikrobiyotasındaki popülasyonu düzenleyerek, bağırsak epitel bariyer fonksiyonunu stabilize etmekte ve sistemik bağışıklık tepkilerini modüle ederek mukozal homeostazı etkilemektedir. Buna bağlı olarak son yıllarda fermente besinler, probiyotik ve prebiyotiklere olan ilgi tüm dünyada oldukça artmıştır. Spinal kord yaralanmasında (SKY) bağırsak fonksiyonlarının değiştiği tespit edilmiştir. SKY sonrasında hastalarda özellikle nörojenik bağırsak disfonksiyonu (NBD) çok yaygın olarak görülmektedir. Bu durum ile birlikte görülen diyare ve kabızlık, rehabilitasyon süresini, basınç ülseri gelişme riskini ve yara iyileşmesinin gecikmesini artırarak yaşam kalitesini düşürebilmektedir. Son zamanlarda bağırsak mikrobiyotasındaki değişiklik, bu hastalığın seyrinde olumlu bir etki bırakmaktadır. Bu hastaların diyetinde probiyotik ve prebiyotiklerin alınması bağırsak mikrobiyotasının bileşimini değiştirebilmektedir. Bu derleme SKY’li bireylerde probiyotik ve prebiyotiklerin ilişkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamıştır.

Authors: Teixeira Ricardo Luiz Perez , Damasceno Allexia Izabella Pinheiro , De Lacerda José Carlos
Published: September 2024

This study evaluates the effects of laser welding on UNS S41003 stainless steel plates, which were pre-treated with a nickel-watts bath enriched with niobium. The plates, with an area of 0.36 dm², were subjected to this treatment for 10 minutes at 60°C, with a direct current of 3.2 A and pH 4, resulting in a thin coating. Subsequently, the plates were laser welded in a butt joint configuration, using a power of 1800 W, a welding speed of 2 cm/s, a focal distance of 3.8 cm, and argon as the shielding gas. The samples were categorized into three regions of interest: the fusion zone (FZ), the heat-affected zone (HAZ), and the base metal (BM). Twenty specimens were prepared by wire electrical discharge machining and were allocated for tensile testing, ferritoscopy, and Vickers microhardness testing. The aim is to determine whether the nickel-watts treatment combined with laser welding enhances the mechanical properties of the FZ and HAZ compared to the BM. Vickers microhardness testing will be used to assess hardness variations among the regions, while ferritoscopy will identify the presence of magnetic phases. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) will provide three-dimensional images to characterize the microstructure and surface morphology. It is anticipated that the FZ and HAZ will exhibit improved tensile and impact resistance compared to the BM, due to the grain refinement induced by the nickel and niobium treatment.

Since the 1980s, the evolution of media narratives about HIV/AIDS reflects significant changes in public perception and disease management. Initially linked to stigma and prejudice, AIDS was treated as a death sentence and moral punishment, especially towards marginalized groups. Over time, narratives transformed, particularly after the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and the I=I (Undetectable = Untransmittable) concept, highlighting AIDS as a manageable chronic condition. This study reviews the literature on changes in media representations of HIV/AIDS, comparing early epidemic narratives with post-HAART and post-I=I narratives. Results indicate a shift from stigmatizing narratives to more educational and inclusive representations, reflecting scientific advancements and reduced social stigma.

Published: September 2024

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as possíveis causas que têm gerado a perda de água na rede de distribuição do bairro Todos os Santos, em Montes Claros-MG. Todo monitoramento de perdas é baseado na elaboração de um mapa de calor no qual é possível rastrear as áreas onde ocorrem o maior número de vazamentos. É possível utilizar equipamentos para identificar e localizar vazamentos a partir deste mapa. Nesse sentido, os dados das válvulas redutoras de pressão são registrados para diagnosticar perdas reais e aparentes no estudo do balanço hídrico. A verificação de vazamentos ficou evidenciada com fator de pesquisa de 92,32% em que foram realizadas ações de manutenção e correção do sistema. As perdas na distribuição foram analisadas entre jan. 2021 e ago. 2022 obtendo-se redução de 3,4 L/s após a instalação da Válvula Redutora de Pressão. O balanço hídrico apresentou perdas reais de 240.117 m³/ano. Conclui-se que a gestão e o controle de pressão com medidas de combate às perdas são eficientes.

A inevitável mutabilidade dos litígios coletivos e estruturais
Authors: Viana Thais Costa Teixeira
Published: September 2024

Neste artigo, apresenta-se formulação teórica aos litígios coletivos, por intermédio de sua apreciação transdisciplinar jurídico-sociológica. Elegendo-se como referencial teórico a abordagem sociológica Emergentista, no que tange ao seu entendimento explicativo-causal a respeito do potencial transformativo de fenômenos sociais (categoria à qual se enquadrará o gênero dos litígios coletivos), propõe-se a inserção da “mutabilidade” ao rol de atributos intrínsecos ao referido gênero (e, portanto, presentes em todas as suas espécies), apontando-se também critérios à sua mensuração qualitativa. À vista disso, este artigo também propõe avaliar a presença e a intensidade do atributo da mutabilidade em litígios coletivos que se constituam estruturais, buscando demonstrar a correlação existente entre a acentuação do grau de mutabilidade do litígio, a tendência à prospectividade das providências resolutivas e a relevância da flexibilidade dos procedimentos resolutivos para admissão de contínuas reavaliações das características e circunstâncias da situação litigiosa.
O constitucionalismo brasileiro no contexto latino-americano
Authors: Gargarella Roberto
Published: September 2024

Este artigo estuda a evolução do constitucionalismo brasileiro à luz do desenvolvimento do constitucionalismo latino-americano. Ele se concentra em três períodos principais dessa evolução: (i) um primeiro período “fundacional” (1850-1900), no qual a maioria dos países da região, inclusive o Brasil, adotou constituições que incorporam características das duas principais influências jurídicas da América Latina, o liberalismo e o conservadorismo; ii) um segundo período (1917-1960), em que o antigo constitucionalismo liberal-conservador passou a adquirir um perfil mais atento às questões sociais e às desigualdades econômicas - o período do (chamado) “constitucionalismo social”; e iii) um período mais recente, relacionado ao chamado “novo constitucionalismo latino-americano”, que passou a combinar “o velho” e “o novo”: o antigo modelo institucional, herdado do século XIX, e o novo constitucionalismo social. A parte final do artigo explora o (assim chamado) problema da “casa de máquinas” da Constituição, ou seja, o problema de alterar significativamente a estrutura dos direitos, preservando basicamente intacta a antiga organização do poder.
