Balzac and the Literature of Complexity
Authors: Galeno Alex , Castro Gustavo
Published: September 2022

From a critique of journalistic practice, this article works on the hypothesis that the work of Honoré de Balzac approaches a literature of complexity, through the engendering of a network of characters, knowledge, plots and actions. Through primary and secondary literature review, we observed that Balzac recovers the etymological meaning of the word complexus “what weaves together” (MORIN, 1996). In our view, Balzac adopts a recursive, hologrammatic and knowledge reconnection methodology. Our analysis identifies communicational, aesthetic and literary aspects in the French author, and classifies him as a transdisciplinary artist-researcher, of diffuse poetic interest and endowed with immense imagination. Our conclusion suggests the need for further research between the communicational, literary and complexity fields.

Cinco Rimas Fantasmales de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
Authors: Rois Robert
Published: September 2022

Observing how a specific theme emerges within the work of a poet leads to greater appreciation of stylistic technique and to a better understanding of human experience. In this paper we study the poetry of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer to perceive how a lover’s passion transforms itself into an autonomous entity that travels through space. Relevant connections between poems must be carefully traced. We start by examining the nostalgia evoked by remembrance of past love in Rhyme LIII. We then see in Rhyme LXXV the lament over absence of the beloved develop into an intimation of whether in sleep we may penetrate a dimension where other spirits dwell. The wonderment grows in the related Rhyme LXXI as it expresses the amazing premonition of a friend’s death. In order to comprehend this memorable lyric we next explore the transformation of romantic desire into the wandering phantom lover of the beguilingly repetitive and intricate Rhymes XVI and XXVIII.

A FAKE NEWS NO MARKETING DIGITAL
Authors: de Oliveira Ribeiro Milena
Published: September 2022

The expression fake news, which means, in English, “fake news”, gained shape worldwide, from 2016, during the North American presidential race, when the supporters of then candidate Donald Trump, projected, through social networks, several untrue messages about his opponent, Hillary Clinton. However, the use of fake news has always existed, and now the controversial tool that turns opinion into reality has been exploited by digital marketing. This is a great idea for brands to generate more impact in the online environment, go viral and bring positive numbers of engagement for their products. In this context, this article aims to point out that the applicability of fake news, in this new scenario, does have a potential reach. The present study was possible from the monitoring of two cases of artistic brands (Claudia Leitte and Roupa Nova), in the periods in which they carried out “prank” campaigns on social networks.
CONTROLE JUDICIAL DO ATO ADMINISTRATIVO NA JURISPRUDÊNCIA DO STF
Authors: Ferreira Saraiva Carmen , Saraiva de Alencar Ingrid
Published: September 2022

We seek to examine the judicial control of the administrative act with a focus on the jurisprudence of the STF. Therefore, we use the bibliographical research through the deductive and comparative method based on the doctrine of Maria Sylvia Zanela Di Pietro. The legal regime of the Public Administration reveals the supremacy of the public interest over the private, which is outlined by principles and powers, as the primary objective of the law. The normative content of the act externalizes the state declaration with legal effects, translating into presumptive attributes and elements. The attributes are the presumption of legitimacy, imperativeness, self-executoriness and typicality. The elements are competent agent, lawful object, prescribed form and not defense in law, public purpose and fundamental reason. The jurisdictional control of the linked or discretionary act reaches those illegal and abusive. This exceptional mechanism contributes to legal certainty, giving the necessary progress and fluidity to the legal system.

Authors: Monike da Silva Thyalle
Published: September 2022

This article investigates the use/abuse of psychoactive drugs in academic environments, since research indicates a significant increase in the recurrence of illicit drugs in public and private schools, opening space for reflection on the possible use/abuse in teaching. higher education, especially in the investigation of the effects of a neoliberal society that goes beyond the demands of results, thus inflicting new forms of malaise. To this end, a bibliographic review was carried out using the Scientific Electronic Library Online database, SciELO, Capes Periodicals, Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, Academic Virtual Library, Academic Google, as well as the theoretical foundation by the psychoanalytic framework. Through these resources, it was possible to verify that in the last ten years the population of working age, highlighting the age group between 19-45 years of age, has been using psychoactive drugs a little more than expected, considering the regulation and prevention policies. Thus, it was possible to build reflection paths about the possible reverberations of the results found, regardless of the agreement with a prohibitionist and legalistic perspective.
“Destrucción creativa” de la red hídrica de Santiago de Cali, Colombia
Authors: Uribe Castro Hernando
Published: September 2022

El crecimiento de la ciudad de Cali (Colombia) localizada sobre el valle del río Cauca, se caracterizó por ampliar su perímetro urbano sobre ecosistemas estratégicos y por transformar tres ríos (Cañaveralejo, Meléndez y Lili) en un solo canal de aguas residuales mediante obras de infraestructura civil. La tesis central de este artículo plantea que éste desarrollo urbano es un ejemplo del principio de la “destrucción creativa” de la modernidad: destruir la naturaleza para rediseñar territorio (Uribe, 2020); en otras palabras, destruir ecosistemas estratégicos para urbanizar espacios e incorporarlos a la especulación inmobiliaria, el negocio de la construcción y el urbanismo, es decir al mercado de la tierra urbana, cuya principal estrategia para esta ciudad ha sido la de incorporar tierra rural en tierra urbana. Por lo tanto, este artículo analiza el desarrollo urbano desde la cuestión ambiental y devela cómo las elites dominantes de la región tomaron decisiones desde los escenarios de la administración municipal en el pasado, que influyeron en las difíciles condiciones ambientales de la ciudad del presente. Condiciones presentes que no solo expresan los problemas ambientales existentes al día de hoy sino que además prevén un futuro insustentable ambiental y ecológicamente para la ciudad y la región. Metodológicamente se recurrió a las estrategias de la historia ambiental, la geografía histórica y la ecología política. Se recurrió a la indagación documental y el estudio de caso. El resultado es la verificación de este proceso de transformación territorial que convirtió un espacio geográfico caracterizado por la abundancia de humedales y grandes lagos en un espacio totalmente urbanizado e incorporado al perímetro de la ciudad.
Zonificación de humedales en la planificación urbana. Estudio de caso: humedal Calabozo
Authors: Torres Lara Eduardo Andrés , Leal Parra Gianni José
Published: September 2022

Este artículo trata sobre la incorporación de criterios de zonificación en el proceso de planificación urbana. Se utiliza un proceso de análisis espacial sobre imágenes satelitales para determinar la situación en la que se encuentra el sector del humedal Calabozo en Chile. Además, se trabajó con un set de fotografías aéreas digitales del sector de Calabozo desde el año 2006 al 2017. Para los efectos de delimitar la zona de humedales del sector Calabozo se calcularon los índices NDVI y MNDWI, dada su intención de convertirlo en Área Verde Interurbana (AVI) por parte de la Municipalidad de Coronel. Se espera que esta metodología incida en la formulación de las zonificaciones que establecen los instrumentos de planificación territorial, aportando criterios ambientales bajo un análisis detallado e interdisciplinario de la situación hídrica de la zona de humedal.

Argentina en el Mercosur
Authors:   , Díaz Pérez María Luisa
Published: September 2022

Como protagonistas de la globalización mediática asistimos a construcciones de la realidad, que si bien parecen objetivas o totales, son subjetivas y parciales. Esto se puede apreciar a través del análisis del discurso en la construcción de la noticia, en este caso por parte del diario La Nación, sobre las tensiones entre la Argentina y Brasil durante los Gobiernos de Néstor Kirchner y –la primera administración- de Cristina Fernández en el ámbito del MERCOSUR entre 2003 y 2011. Puesto que la noticia constituye a la sociedad como fenómeno social y el acontecimiento convertido en noticia define y redefine los fenómenos sociales, esta última definición guiará el presente trabajo. Demás está aclarar la dificultad de abstraerse de las Relaciones Internacionales (RRII) en un mundo mediatizado para comprender el desarrollo de la política exterior argentina (PEA) y de las tensiones entre la Argentina y Brasil. La hipótesis que guía esta investigación es si para los medios las tensiones durante el kirchnerismo -bajo los Gobiernos de Néstor Kirchner y Cristina Fernández (2003-2011)-, afectaron las relaciones bilaterales dentro del bloque entre la Argentina y Brasil, o influyeron –o no- en detrimento del proceso de integración regional.

Published: September 2022

In this study, Sn-doped 10HfO2–10Al2O3–80SiO2 glasses were prepared using a xenon imaging furnace and their physical, optical, and scintillation properties were investigated. At the composition ratio, the specimens did not completely vitrify, and they were crystallized glasses that contained nanocrystals of c-HfO2. Raman spectra show the absorption bands due to Si–O–Hf bonds, and the band clearly indicated an effective molecular mingling of SiO2 and HfO2 components in the glass. Moreover, the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy maps suggested that the elemental distribution of this glass specimen is heterogeneous. In terms of optical properties of the glass, all the specimens showed emission due to Sn2+, and their tendency to increase photoluminescence quantum yield with increasing Sn concentration. The estimated luminescence from pulse height spectrum measurements under alpha irradiation was ∼2500 ph MeV−1, approximately 35% of the GS-20 glass scintillator counterpart.

The important problem to address in nuclear industries involves mitigation of the radioactive and corrosion products of nuclear reactor components. Even though physical and chemical methods lend a helping hand in solving this problem, the dominant method is by carrying out chemical cleaning. But this process results in the metal ions in complex state, not viable for treatment. To render the metal ions in the free state advanced oxidation process using oxidizing agents like ozone, Hydrogen peroxide, electro flotation, supercritical oxidation etc can be resorted . The decontaminating agents used are picolinic acid, EDTA, ascorbic acid, NTA etc. EDTA complex the metal ions but generate secondary waste with them. In our work, treatment of generated decontaminated waste using EDTA as decontaminant has been dealt with. From the literature, we understand that attempts have been made to degrade ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid using Fenton’s reagent in the presence of light [1]. This will facilitate the release of free radioactive ions for further treatment. In addition to chemical oxidation of EDTA, photochemical oxidation in presence of Zirconia and titania which generates electrons and positive ions for further oxidation has been reported [2]. In this paper, we have made an attempt to absorb the EDTA on zirconia loaded on white cement, study the adsorption characteristics which is the first step for photodegradation using UV light. Zirconium oxide was synthesized by the sol-gel method using Zirconium isopropoxide to water ratio 1:2 which resulted in powder by this process. This Powder was characterized for physical and chemical parameters before immobilizing with cement for adsorption. The system containing cement bonded to Zirconia (Zir-Cem) was subjected to removal of EDTA by adsorption. Since the zirconia powder as generated was found to have a high surface area compared to heat-treated (470oC and 720oC resulting in monoclinic and tetragonal crystalline forms) the as prepared zirconia was found to be the best candidate for efficient adsorption.

Increased levels of air pollution have come from technological advancements during the industrial and urban eras, as well as an increase in the number of vehicles on the road. Excessive pollution in the air has a negative impact on both economic growth and the environment. The foundations of this project are the representation and implementation of an Air Quality Analysis System. It is critical to evaluate air quality in the future in order to raise awareness about the need of guaranteeing a healthy future. The sensors analyze dust particles, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulphur dioxide levels in the air using wireless sensors. These measurements are transmitted to a gateway, which delivers them to a cloud database via cellular or Wi-Fi connection. To give data on air quality, the information is examined in the cloud. We will utilize the Blynk iot stage to make an air quality checking framework for this undertaking.

Synchronizing Times for $k$-sets in Automata
Authors: Behague Natalie , Johnson Robert
Published: September 2022

An automaton is synchronizing if there is a word that maps all states onto the same state. Černý's conjecture on the length of the shortest such word is probably the most famous open problem in automata theory. We consider the closely related question of determining the minimum length of a word that maps $k$ states onto a single state.

For synchronizing automata, we improve the upper bound on the minimum length of a word that sends some triple to a a single state from $0.5n^2$ to $\approx 0.19n^2$. We further extend this to an improved bound on the length of such a word for 4 states and 5 states.

In the case of non-synchronizing automata, we give an example to show that the minimum length of a word that sends $k$ states to a single state can be as large as $\Theta\left(n^{k-1}\right)$.
A Fourfold Refined Enumeration of Alternating Sign Trapezoids
Authors: Höngesberg Hans
Published: September 2022

Alternating sign trapezoids have recently been introduced as a generalisation of alternating sign triangles. Fischer established a threefold refined enumeration of alternating sign trapezoids and provided three statistics on column strict shifted plane partitions with the same joint distribution. In this paper, we are able to add a new pair of statistics to these results. More precisely, we consider the number of $-1$s on alternating sign trapezoids and introduce a corresponding statistic on column strict shifted plane partitions that has the same distribution. More generally, we show that the joint distributions of the two quadruples of statistics on alternating sign trapezoids and column strict shifted plane partitions, respectively, coincide. In addition, we provide a closed-form expression for the $2$-enumeration of alternating sign trapezoids.

Published: September 2022

Mortgage banks, due to the critical services they render by facilitating the provision of shelter, which is one of the basic needs of man, can benefit from focusing and concentrating on Customer Relationship Management as regards competitive advantage and corporate performance. However, the dynamic and competitive business environment in Nigerian mortgage banking sector has continued to experience stiffer competition in recent time. This study examined the effect of investment in customer relationship management on the performance of mortgage banks in Nigeria. It adopted ex-post facto research design and utilized panel data regression technique for data analysis. Secondary data was sourced from various published financial statements of the banks. The research study showed a positive impact of investment in customer relationship management (ICRM) on performance (profit after tax) of the mortgage banking sector in Nigeria. This is evidenced by the coefficient value of 9.9376; and the p-value of 0.0005 which is lower than the threshold significance value of 0.05. The study therefore concludes that corporate organizations in the mortgage banking sector in developing nations of the world such as Nigeria must adopt a balanced CRM strategy to achieve a desired level of growth in their performance across all regions and geographical locations.
Obligation to Conclude a Contract with the Consumer
Authors:   Russian State University of Justice (Moscow), Vladimir A. Kondrat’ev
Published: September 2022

Special regulation of relations with the participation of citizens-consumers is typical for almost all modern developed legal orders. The current domestic legislation contains a sufficient number of guarantees for the protection of consumer rights and one of them is the obligation of a business entity to conclude an agreement with any consumer who has applied. Such a measure is a significant restriction on the freedom of contract, which raises the question of the purpose of establishing such a restriction, the interests to protect which it is aimed at, as well as the possibility of its mitigation or complete exclusion. The purpose of the article is to determine the essence and feasibility of establishing the obligation of a business entity to conclude an agreement with any consumer who has applied. The achievement of this goal is carried out by solving the following tasks: determining the prerequisites for establishing the obligation to conclude an agreement with a consumer, identifying a situation where this measure allows to protect consumer rights, establishing the reasons and appropriateness of exceptions to the rule under consideration, as well as the prospects for expanding the list of exceptions. The article was prepared using general scientific methods (systemic, logical) and special legal methods (comparative legal, formal legal). As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the consolidation of the obligation for the entrepreneur to conclude an agreement with the consumer is aimed at preserving the consumer’s access to the good, which he may be deprived of. In some cases, such a measure really allows the consumer to protect his rights, for example, concluding insurance contracts, but in most cases such a measure is excessive, because in most cases it does not lead to the protection of consumer rights, but to infringement of the interests of third parties. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to provide business entities with the opportunity to establish “stop lists” in relation to those consumers who previously violated the contract.

To date, the question of what property of a court case determines whether it is subject to consideration and resolution in a civil or administrative court procedure has not been finally resolved in the procedural public law, which also did not receive an unambiguous solution. Among the criteria presented in the legal doctrine, some allow us to identify only a part of public-law phenomena, while others are applicable to all phenomena of a public-law nature, but have imperfect formulations. The unresolved nature of this scientific problem leads to the existence of cases whose judicial form does not correspond to their nature. At the same time, the correct definition of the judicial form of protection depends on the achievement of the goals of such protection. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the criteria for distinguishing between civil and administrative judicial forms of protection. The study is based on the use of the method of system analysis, analogy, logical techniques, special legal methods of cognition of the phenomena of legal reality. It is proved that the criterion for choosing the judicial form of protection is the nature of the subject of protection (the nature of the legal interest), which can be private-legal and public-legal. To determine the nature of the subject of protection, two criteria are proposed that correspond to the philosophical categories of essence and phenomenon. The essential property of a legal interest is the nature of a social good, for the sake of achieving or preserving which a legal interest arises and which can be individually significant (for private legal interests) or generally significant (for public legal interests). The second, external, criterion for determining the nature of a legal interest is the scope of the implementation of the interest – privatelegal or public-legal.

Legislative and Law Enforcement Aspects of Administrative Punishment in the Form of a Fine
Authors:   ) Caucasian Branch, Russian State University of Justice, Krasnodar, Russia, Ekaterina A. Bochkareva
Published: September 2022

The legislator fixes different types of values of an administrative fine both in the general administrative legal norm providing for this type of administrative punishment, and in the specific sanction of an article of an administrative offense. This predetermines not only the application of various rules for assigning an administrative penalty, but also, in some cases, the impossibility of their implementation due to the lack of clear limits on the amount of the fine. If the amount of the fine is not specified in the sanction of an administrative legal norm, then the determination of its specific amount is in the discretion of the law enforcement officer, expands the discretion of his powers. This circumstance gives rise to the appointment of different amounts of an administrative fine for committing the same administrative offense under relatively similar circumstances of its commission. The situation of uncertainty in establishing the amount of fines is unacceptable. It must be overcome through a clear legal fixation of the limits and rules for their appointment.
