NOTA DOS EDITORES

 

A Revista Îandé chega ao terceiro número de seu segundo volume. Para uma revista cujo título significa “nós todos”, essa edição não poderia ser mais feliz: recebemos dezenas de submissões espontâneas, que continuam em avaliação e editoração para os próximos números; a quantidade de pareceristas que voluntariamente trabalham na avaliação das submissões cresceu (e esperamos que, a cada edição, mais docentes estejam cadastrados no sistema da revista, garantindo que os artigos sejam examinados por pesquisadores especialistas); a fotografia da capa da revista é de um de nossos alunos de graduação, Rennan Willian da Silva, a quem agradecemos a colaboração; finalmente, os temas dos artigos aqui apresentados refletem a riqueza da interdisciplinaridade, um dos pilares da UFABC.

Nós todos da UFABC estamos implicados no tema da melhoria do ensino no Brasil, abordado no artigo de Andressa Regina Vizin, e nas políticas de inclusão e ampliação do acesso universal ao ensino, assuntos pesquisados por Lorena Ismael Fernandes. Coincidindo com a criação do Bacharelado em Biotecnologia na UFABC, o artigo de Rafael Mejias traça o histórico da Bioeconomia no Brasil. A partir de textos de quatro autores clássicos da Filosofia da Ciência, campo fundamental no projeto pedagógico da UFABC, a pesquisa de Pedro Farhat discute alguns pressupostos do conhecimento científico. Lucas de Paula Landin parte de um caso sobre urbanização, para deslindar a relação entre cultura e política. Por fim, este é um número da Iandé que ressalta o que por vezes esquecemos: pesquisamos e escrevemos a partir de um lugar específico do planeta, a América Latina, e é desse lugar que nos falam os trabalhos de Amanda Soares de Melo, Heloísa Cristina Ribeiro e Paulo Henrique Campos Gal.

Há futuro à vista quando alunos de graduação enxergam o mundo com tamanha intensidade e amplidão de pensamento. Boa leitura!

Authors: La Touche Roy
Published: August 2023

La implementación de razonamiento clínico basado en la modificación de síntomas requiere que los fisioterapeutas tengan un conocimiento profundo sobre terapia manual ortopédica y otras técnicas de tratamiento. Este tipo de razonamiento se basa en tres principios fundamentales: individualidad del paciente, interacción dinámica y evaluación continua. Se busca adaptar el tratamiento a cada paciente, considerando que sus condiciones pueden ser dinámicas o estáticas. Además, es esencial monitorizar constantemente la respuesta del paciente, ajustando intervenciones según los cambios en su sintomatología.

El razonamiento clínico basado en la modificación de síntomas sigue un proceso metodológico de al menos cinco fases, que incluye evaluación del paciente, planteamiento de hipótesis, prueba de intervenciones, toma de decisiones basada en respuestas y seguimiento del progreso del paciente. Este enfoque integral garantiza una atención personalizada y adaptable a las necesidades del paciente, promoviendo su bienestar y recuperación.

Authors: Fernandez-Matias Ruben
Published: August 2023

Resumen
El cálculo de tamaño muestral es uno de los aspectos más importantes en la planificación de la mayoría de las investigaciones, pudiendo derivar una muestra insuficiente a una inutilidad de la investigación en sí misma. Tradicionalmente se han utilizado los cálculos de tamaño muestral basados en potencia, pero actualmente se han empezado implementar los cálculos basados en precisión. En el presente escrito se presentan una serie de recomendaciones para cálculos para ensayos clínicos aleatorizados, modelos de regresión lineal y logística múltiples, análisis de reproducibilidad y de modelos predictivos multivariables, junto con algunos ejemplos prácticos de su implementación, así como algunas consideraciones con respecto a realización y utilización de datos de estudios piloto a la hora de planificar un cálculo de tamaño muestral.
Abstract
Sample size calculation is one of the most important aspects in the planning of most research, and an insufficient sample can lead to the uselessness of the research itself. Traditionally, power-based sample size calculations have been used, but now precision-based calculations have begun to be implemented. This paper presents recommendations for calculations for randomised clinical trials, multiple linear and logistic regression models, reproducibility analysis, and multivariable predictive models, along with some practical examples of their implementation, as well as some considerations regarding the development and use of pilot study data when planning a sample size calculation.

Analisis Hubungan Kemitraan antara Kurir dan Perusahaan pada Masa Pandemi Covid-19 Ditinjau dari Doktrin Undue Influence
Authors: Simbolon Yolanda
Published: August 2023

This article explores the potential modern exploitation of the partnership between couriers and delivery companies.  This research is normative legal research. The author used data from the literature and a survey of 37 couriers from 14 different companies. Of the 37 couriers who filled out the survey, in-depth interviews were conducted on 7 couriers from 6 different companies. The results suggested that the practice of Undue Influence can occur when the courier is economically or psychologically powerless to bind in a partnership agreement with the company. During the Covid-19 pandemic, couriers have a much weaker economic and psychological position than the company.  The company uses its special circumstances to establish policies unilaterally and makes a “take it or leave it” offer to the courier. Moreover, the relationship between the courier and the delivery company that is applied is not an industrial relationship, so it is not subject to the provisions of the legislation concerning manpower. Consequently, the provisions in the partnership agreement do not have a safety net for couriers and tend to only side with the company.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the national and international legal perspectives related to the legal policy of Articles 9 and 18 of Law Number 24 of 2000 regarding International Agreements, with a focus on the conflicts in Article 9 Paragraph (2) and Article 18 letter h. Therefore, harmonization between the national and international legal systems is necessary to improve understanding and coordination between national and international institutions in order to protect Indonesia's national interests in every international cooperation. This study uses a normative legal research method with conceptual, legal, and comparative approaches to analyze the issues in this study. The author uses document analysis techniques by studying legal documents such as the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the 1969 Vienna Convention, the International Agreement Law, and related legal literature. The results of the analysis show that the ratification of international agreements through Presidential Decree conflicts with Article 11 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, and the determination of national interests as one of the justifications for terminating an international agreement made by the Indonesian Government as regulated in Article 18 of the Law is contrary to Article 42 of the Vienna Convention 1969.

Keywords: international agreement, ratification, termination.
Tujuan Pemidanaan dalam Pembaharuan Hukum Pidana Indonesia
Authors: Muksin Muchlas Rastra Samara
Published: August 2023

Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) yang berlaku di Indonesia saat ini adalah peninggalan dan masih ‘bercorak’ Belanda baik dari sisi filosofis maupun sosilogis, juga tidak memiliki tujuan dan pedoman pemidanaan (Straftoemetingsleiddradd) yang umumnya memuat asas-asas yang harus diperhatikan oleh hakim guna menjatuhkan pidana, Namun sayangnya selama ini Indonesia belum memiliki tujuan pemidanaanya karena masih menggunakan hukum peninggalan Belanda. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui urgensi tujuan pemidanaan dalam pembaharuan hukum pidana Indonesia saat ini dan yang akan datang. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode Normatif, hasil analisis diketahui KUHP lama tidak memiliki pedoman dan tujuan pemidanaan serta berorientasi pada pembalasan adapun tujuan pemidanaan dan pedoman pemidanaan baru diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2023 tentang Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana yang memberikan petunjuk tentang arah tujuan hukum pidana pada Bab III Tentang Pemidanaan dan Pedoman Pemidanaan. Kesimpulannya yaitu perumusan tujuan dan pedoman pemidanaan pada KUHP Baru merupakan perubahan yang progresif. KUHP dapat memberikan arah yang jelas dan dapat membantu Aparat Penegak Hukum (APH) mengatasi tantangan dan hambatan yang muncul dalam kerja-kerja sistem peradilan pidana yang mengarah pada tercapainya keadilan dan kepastian sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 51 KUHP Baru.

Many studies point to an association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori ) infection and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Although controversial, this association indicates that the presence of the bacterium somehow affects the course of IBD. It appears that H. pylori infection influences IBD through changes in the diversity of the gut microbiota, and hence in local chemical characteristics, and alteration in the pattern of gut immune response. The gut immune response appears to be modulated by H. pylori infection towards a less aggressive inflammatory response and the establishment of a targeted response to tissue repair. Therefore, a T helper 2 (Th2)/macrophage M2 response is stimulated, while the Th1/macrophage M1 response is suppressed. The immunomodulation appears to be associated with intrinsic factors of the bacteria, such as virulence factors - such oncogenic protein cytotoxin-associated antigen A, proteins such H. pylori neutrophil-activating protein, but also with microenvironmental changes that favor permanence of H. pylori in the stomach. These changes include the increase of gastric mucosal pH by urease activity, and suppression of the stomach immune response promoted by evasion mechanisms of the bacterium. Furthermore, there is a causal relationship between H. pylori infection and components of the innate immunity such as the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 inflammasome that directs IBD toward a better prognosis.

Published: August 2023

To qualify the design of aerospace structures, which are designed with minimum margin, it is necessary to subject them to static structural tests to reveal the real state of stress on flight structures under critical flight load conditions. This process build up confidence in the design methodology adopted and to validate the mathematical model used for simulations. In any space mission, safety holds utmost priority. Structural qualification tests are necessary to verify structural adequacy and to qualify the design. The primary objective of a structural qualification test is to assess the exact real performance of a structure and to validate its design. Static structural testing is a common method for verifying or ensuring that the realised structure has enough strength to withstand the loads for which it is designed. This study focus on the configuration and design of base platform. The base platform is intended to provide anchoring to the entire test rig assembly or to act as a foundation for distributing the moment and force reactions acting upon it. At present anchoring plates which are embedded in concrete strong floor is provided for mounting the test rigs. This set up requires reinforcement of the floor to certain depth and attracts major civil works. The proposed platform, which is a reinforced platform with gridded construction, is a replacement for the present set-up. Here we adopt the concept of modularity in configuration of the base platform. Hence the base platform is claimed as a modular gridded base platform with all the inherent features of modularity such as scalability, interchangeability and reconfigurability. In addition to the generation of a realisable configuration, this study expanse with the design of structural element and verification by Finite Element Method using Abaqus.

Applying molecular methods to fungi establishing lichenized associations with green algae or cyanobacteria has repeatedly revealed the existence of numerous phylogenetic taxa overlooked by classical taxonomic approaches. Here, we report taxonomical conclusions based on multiple species delimitation and validation analyses performed on an eight-locus dataset that includes world-wide representatives of the dolichorhizoid and scabrosoid clades in sectionPolydactylonof the genusPeltigera.Following the recommendations resulting from a consensus species delimitation approach and additional species validation analysis (BPP) performed in this study, we present a total of 25 species in the dolichorhizoid clade and nine in the scabrosoid clade, including respectively 18 and six species that are new to science and formally described. Additionally, one combination and three varieties (including two new to science) are proposed in the dolichorhizoid clade. The following 24 new species are described:P. appalachiensis,P. asiatica,P. borealis,P. borinquensis,P. chabanenkoae,P. clathrata,P. elixii,P. esslingeri,P. flabellae,P. gallowayi,P. hawaiiensis,P. holtanhartwigii,P. itatiaiae,P. hokkaidoensis,P. kukwae,P. massonii,P. mikado,P. nigriventris,P. orientalis,P. rangiferina,P. sipmanii,P. stanleyensis,P. vitikaineniiandP. willdenowii; the following new varieties are introduced:P. kukwaevar.phyllidiataandP. truculentavar.austroscabrosa; and the following new combination is introduced:P. hymeninavar.dissecta. Each species from the dolichorhizoid and scabrosoid clades is morphologically and chemically described, illustrated, and characterised with ITS sequences. Identification keys are provided for the main biogeographic regions where species from the two clades occur. Morphological and chemical characters that are commonly used for species identification in the genusPeltigeracannot be applied to unambiguously recognise most molecularly circumscribed species, due to high variation of thalli formed by individuals within a fungal species, including the presence of distinct morphs in some cases, or low interspecific variation in others. The four commonly recognised morphospecies:P. dolichorhiza,P. neopolydactyla,P. pulverulentaandP. scabrosain the dolichorhizoid and scabrosoid clades represent species complexes spread across multiple and often phylogenetically distantly related lineages. Geographic origin of specimens is often helpful for species recognition; however, ITS sequences are frequently required for a reliable identification.

Authors: Ako Mavis , Campion Charles Baba
Published: August 2023

This study explored factors that influence women participation in political party leadership in four constituencies of Tamale in the Northern Ghana of the Republic of Ghana. Quantitative research was employed along with questionnaire administered. Ordinary least squares method of regression with a dependent variable as women participation in political party leadership roles were applied. The independent variables were religious affiliations, educational background, financial status, and level of social stereotype as well as the leadership skills of the respondents. The results showed that religious affiliations, financial status and leadership of the women were positively related to women participation in political party leadership roles and statistically significant at 1% level. Also, social stereotype was found to be negatively related but statistically significant at 1% level of significance. Education was found to be negatively related but statistically insignificant. The study therefore recommends that political parties should support the women contestants financially and also set a minimum requirement, in terms of the educational level of women, to encourage and promote education among the younger ones. Political parties should also be admonished to take a second look at the quota system of governance to integrate more women into the political arena.

The Teacher Accountability, Students’ Academic Achievement Questionnaire (TASAAQ) and Students’ Academic Checklist (SAAC) were used to collect data from respondents. Data collected were analyzed using percentages, means scores, standard deviation, Pearson’s product moment correlation co-efficient and T-test. Findings revealed that the market-based accountability model is not fashionable for teacher accountability in mission secondary schools in mission schools, students’ academic achievement was high, teacher accountability has positive correlation with students’ academic achievement and both principals and teachers agree that teacher accountability is necessary for students’ academic achievement. Study recommended that important tenets of market-based accountability model should be adopted to bring teachers to accountability and increase chances of students’ academic achievement.

We propose a model of asymmetric bosonic dark matter (DM) with self-repulsion. By adopting the two-fluid formalism, we study different DM distribution regimes, either, fully condensed inside the core of a star, or, otherwise, distributed in a dilute halo around a neutron star (NS). We show that for a given total gravitational mass, DM condensed in a core leads to a smaller radius and tidal deformability compared to a pure baryonic star. This effect may be interpreted as an effective softening of the equation of state. On the other hand, the presence of a DM halo increases the tidal deformability and total gravitational mass. As a result, an accumulated DM inside compact stars could mimic an apparent softening/stiffening of strongly interacting matter EoS and constraints we impose on it at high densities. We limit the model parameter space by confronting the cross section of the DM self-interaction to the constraint extracted from the analysis of the Bullet Cluster. Furthermore, from the analysis of the effect of DM particles, interaction strength, and relative DM fractions inside NSs we obtained a rigorous constraint on model parameters. To identify its impact on NSs we consider the DM fraction may reach up to 5%, which could be considered too high in several scenarios. Finally, we discuss several pieces of smoking gun evidence of the presence of DM that is free from the abovementioned degeneracy between the effect of DM and properties of strongly interacting matter. These signals could be probed with future and ongoing astrophysical and gravitational wave surveys.

We present a data set for investigating the impact of stellar activity on astrometric measurements using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) images of the Sun. The sensitivity of astrometry for detecting exoplanets is limited by stellar activity (e.g., starspots), which causes the measured “center of flux” of the star to deviate from the true, geometric, center, producing false positive detections. We analyze Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager continuum image data obtained from SDO between 2015 July and 2022 December to examine this “astrometric jitter” phenomenon for the Sun. We employ data processing procedures to clean the images and compute the time series of the sunspot-induced shift between the center of flux and the geometric center. The resulting time series show quasiperiodic variations up to 0.05% of the Sun’s radius at its rotation period.

BACKGROUND:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is thought to be transmitted primarily through droplets and contaminated surfaces through aerosols.
AIM: Therefore, this study aims to identify the risk of COVID-19 agents in aerosol form and how indoor air control technique plays a role in the risk of disease transmission. It also examines the existing policies as administrative controls in managing the risk of COVID-19 transmission through indoor air control techniques.
METHODS: This is a systematic review and policy study carried out in line with the preferred reporting item for systematic review and meta-analysis guidelines using ProQuest, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases. Furthermore, the search strategy was carried out using keywords with the Boolean AND and OR operations, namely, “COVID-19 AND (Transmission OR Spread) AND (aerosol OR airborne OR microdroplet) AND (Indoor OR Indoor Air OR Ventilation).
RESULTS: In the policy review, the analysis unit was obtained from the official websites of the Indonesian Government and World Health  Organization in the form of regulations, recommendations, guidelines, or other protocols that regulate indoor activities during the pandemic. There is a risk of COVID-19 agents from aerosols in indoor air. Meanwhile, the control of indoor air techniques plays a role in reducing the risk of transmission through aerosols by (1) increasing the exchange of indoor with outdoor air, (2) using air purifiers, and (3) paying attention to the layout of ventilation devices, airflow direction and distribution, as well as the flow of clean and dirty air in a room.
CONCLUSION: Based on the results, the existing policies are still minimal in preventing transmission risk through indoor aerosols; hence, policy development is needed.
