Inexistência de Vinculação do Árbitro às Decisões e Súmulas Judiciais Vinculantes do Supremo Tribunal Federal
Authors: Marques Ricardo Dalmaso
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: This article aims at analyzing (1) if, under Brazilian law, the arbitrator is bound by the binding precedents (decisões e súmulas vinculantes) rendered by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court to the same extent they are binding in the judicial and administrative spheres; and (2) what are the potential consequences of the violation of such binding precedents in the arbitral award, both domestic and foreign. The study is essentially based on an analysis of (i) the extent, binding force and appliance of the precedents and the case law in the Common Law and Civil Law systems, and, more specifically and recently, in the Brazilian system of laws; (ii) the extent, binding force and appliance of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court' binding precedents in the judicial and administrative spheres, and (iii) the limits imposed on the domestic and foreign arbitral awards to produce effects within the Brazilian territory.
A Responsabilidade Civil do Árbitro
Authors: Correia Marcelo dos Santos Barradas
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: The increasing importance of arbitration in Brazil has as a natural consequence a greater importance to the arbitrator liability topic. Not only the fact that arbitration is mostly used as a single instance dispute resolution method but also the high complexity levels and figures involved in arbitration proceedings count for the huge importance and responsibility of the arbitrator's activity. Although the Brazilian arbitration law has expressly given the arbitrators the same treatment as the one given to Court judges for criminal law purposes, there is no specific provision regarding the civil liability of arbitrators. Therefore, the article approaches the subject relating to the civil liability of arbitrators with a comparative perspective in relation to other parts of the world, particularly those where arbitration has been practiced for a longer period of time. The paper takes into account both the contractual and jurisdictional aspects of the arbitrators' activity, seeking to analyze the impacts of these aspects within the civil liability sphere.
El Arbitraje Financiero: Una Aproximación desde España
Authors: Prol Francisco G.
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: It tries to provide definition of what should be regarded as financial arbitration, and subsequently goes on to consider the arbitrability of financial transactions, providing a description for those transactions and agreements whose controversies may be submitted to arbitration. It explains, in a clear and open manner, the advantages and disadvantages of resorting to arbitration as a means to resolve any disputes that may arise from the own evolution of financial transactions, identifying the issues of significance of arbitration clauses and of its extension to non-signatory third parties, along with the possibility of success for class actions in this field. It presents a series of considerations on the technical aspects of those financial arbitrations that are most popular right now in Spain (i.e. preferential bonds and interest rate swaps), laying particular emphasis on the issues arising where defects of consent have been detected. The article contains a non-exhaustive list of the Arbitration Courts and other institutions active in financial arbitration.

Disqualifying Counsel for Conflict of Interest in International Arbitration: Tribunals Powers and Limits
Authors: Keyrouz Jennifer , Sakr Marwan
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: Ethical issues in connection with the parties' legal representatives may arise in the course of arbitration proceedings in particular matters of conflict of interest. This article examines the specific question of whether arbitral institutions and arbitrators have power to sanction counsel's misconduct especially in the event of conflict of interest. Such power is weighed against parties' fundamental right to choose legal representation and the absence of express provisions granting arbitrators such power in most of the major international arbitration rules and arbitration legislations. International "soft law" instruments which may provide for such powers do not have a binding effect unless embedded in parties' agreement. The article also looks at the very few cases where international arbitral tribunals have dealt with the subject under the arbitration rules of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and UNCITRAL. The arbitrators in these cases have applied different set of international and national rules and have reached different outcomes to the issue. Therefore, developing "truly transnational" ethical rules and an independent body with power to enforce might be needed. Meanwhile, it is submitted that arbitrators have no other choice than determining these matters based on "soft law" instruments and other professional guidelines which remain the widely accepted international standards in the industry.
El concepto de orden público internacional en Colombia: algunos desafíos y retos en la jurisdicción
Authors: Arango Julio César González
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: Proceeding for recognition of arbitral awards in Colombia entails nowadays challenges that derive not only from the scope or the understanding that jurisdiction has developed in these years for the so-called “Colombian international public policy”, but also for the set of reforms introduced in 2012 to arbitration law. This article aims to explore these two aspects as well as some other challenges that the jurisdiction is going to face as a result of both.

Investigating Authentic Leadership of two Universities-Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan and Swat in Pakistan: A Cross-Culture Comparative study
Authors: Idris Muhammad , Saeed Said
Published: March 2022

Defenders of NCT-National Culture Theory have reported that because of inconsistencies in regional ethos, prospects, and attractiveness, priorities in standard structures are affected. However, the Godparents of Authentic Leadership Theory (ALT) introduced a trustworthy front-runner as straightforward and translucent irrespective of culture. This study investigated the preferred authentic leadership attributes (ALA) using in two universities AWKUM and Swat from leaders' and followers' points of view. A mixed-method methodology was employed to collect data from 50 participants, 25 in the separate institution of higher education. It was shown by the result that participants, although in diverse traditional settings, having universally joint predilections to certain ALA. Nevertheless, but more or less traits were explicit regionally. It was suggested that some traits have universality while others particular to the background framework, so by delineating genuineness in a management setting, particular predilections can be regarded. The results of research work contributed to a multicultural aspect of traits to authentic leadership theory regardless of timelessness and townlessness. Future researchers are further suggested that such types of comparative research investigations must be steered at different levels of education.
Mechanism between Ethical Leadership and Workplace Bullying: Mediating Role of Resilience and Moderating Role of Islamic Work Ethics
Authors: Ahmer Zeshan
Published: March 2022

Workplace bullying has become a major challenge for organizations across the globe as it relates to long-term negative workplace outcomes. Past studies have identified leadership as a predictor of reducing workplace bullying, however, studies on the mechanism between the same are scant. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of resilience and the moderating role of Islamic work ethics between ethical leadership and workplace bullying. The data for this study were collected from nurses working in the Pakistani healthcare sector as they are the victims of bullying because of a number of reasons. First, In Pakistan, patient/nurse ratio is very high (a single nurse has to face almost 25 patients). Second, doctor to nurse ratio is also very high (1:5). The study collected data from 284 nurses of both public and private sector hospitals through a questionnaire-based survey. Hypotheses of the study were examined through structural equation modeling using AMOS and the results revealed a negative impact of ethical leader on bullying. In addition, resilience was noted as explanatory variable and Islamic work ethics was noted to weaken the association between ethical leader and bullying.  Most of the nurses’ staff in Pakistan are female, so results may be gender-biased. The model of this study is based on social learning theory and Islamic work ethics has not previously been studied in this perspective.

Authors: Iram Sumaira , Khan Rafique Ahmed , Anum Leena
Published: March 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate impact of workplace spirituality on organizational citizenship behaviour with mediation of job satisfaction in HEIs at Karachi. The study examined impact of three workplace spirituality dimensions- inner life, meaningful work and sense of community on OCB, and how this impact is mediated by job satisfaction. The study is explanatory in nature. Deductive approach was adopted and established hypothesis were tested. Data was collected from 384 full time faculty members of HEIs located in Karachi with adapted questionnaire. Collected data was analysed with the help of statistical tools Correlation, Regression and Bootstrapping, using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results of the analysis show that workplace spirituality dimensions are significant predictor of OCB and relationship of workplace spirituality with OCB is partially mediated by job satisfaction. Findings of the study are considered useful for the management of HEIs in ascertaining existing effect of workplace spirituality on OCB and also to determine mediating effect of job satisfaction in this relationship. It will help them to take measures to further improve OCB. Other industries, organizations as well as academia may also benefit from the findings of the study.
La fiscalización de la supremacía constitucional como función del juez constitucional.
Authors: SALINAS ORDOÑEZ MANUEL EUGENIO
Published: March 2022

La justicia constitucional en el Ecuador tiene varias aristas, entre ellas la falta de uniformidad en los fallos que resuelven las garantías jurisdiccionales que en múltiples ocasiones son contradictorios y atienden a circunstancias personales y coyunturales del juzgador y de las partes procesales. Muchas veces el criterio errado o no de un juzgador afecta a la comprensión de los justiciables sobre su decisión. Se ha logrado evidenciar que cuando el juzgador constitucional desea aceptar una demanda de garantía jurisdiccional resuelve amparando su decisión en los principios y derechos establecidos en la Constitución de la República, no obstante, si su pretensión es negar tal demanda, basa su decisión en las reglas establecidas en la Ley Orgánica de Garantías Jurisdiccionales y Control Constitucional. Por ello, haré referencia a la función fiscalizadora del Juez constitucional y la supremacía de la norma constitucional.

"is paper explores the political economy and relationship between open and fortified settlements belonging to the Middle Bronze Age Vatya tell-culture in the Benta valley in Hungary with focus on local defensive needs, how defence was organised, and how military means and fortified settlements could be employed in strategies to control a political entity comprising of several settlements and a population in the low thousands.
Fortificatiile Lipovei si Timisoarei in preajma cuceririi otomane (1551) / Fortifications of Lipova and Timisoara on the Eve of Ottoman Conquest
Authors: Magina Adrian
Published: March 2022

Timişoara and Lipova, until their conquest by the Ottomans, were the major urban centres of the plain Banat. In 1551 the territories of Banat and Transylvania came under the direct administration of the Habsburgs. In this context king Ferdinand sent a number of engineers to restore or strengthen the fortifications threatened by Turks. One of these engineers was Sigismondo Prato of Pisa which in summer of 1551 was engaged restoring the fortifications of Lipova and Timişoara. He wrote several reports to Ferdinand of Habsburg, preserved today in the archives of Vienna, where he describes the situation encountered in Banat (details about territory, the status of defensive system of Lipova and Timişoara, the fortifications, measures to improve the situation etc). Two of these letters, written in Latin, are published as annex of the study. Despite efforts of Habsburg authorities to improve the defensive systems of the two towns, a year later, in 1552, a large ottoman army attacked and conquered the whole plain Banat, including these urban centres.
Anotimpuri ale mortii. Date despre o metoda arheologico-astronomica pentru studierea riturilor funerare antice / Seasons of Death. Towards an Archaeological-Astronomical Method for Studying Ancient Burial Rites
Authors: Lăzărescu Vlad-Andrei , Turcu Vlad
Published: March 2022

e paper focuses on the many problems occurring while analysing mortuary discoveries, emphasizing and reviewing the main aspects that should be taken into consideration while dealing with such material. Right from the start we would like to stress that such an approach is strictly conditioned by a thorough excavation technique and documentation in order to produce enough data to study how ancient communities conceptualized death. e orientation of the tomb can offer us a great deal of information following the idea that no such action was in fact random. We can then suppose that the orientation of the tombs was performed according to inner cosmologies and rules of each structured community being thus the result of a conscious and self-assumed way of thinking. Following this idea and based on the hypothesis that some religious cardinal points should exist in every community whether they refer to geographical, religious or cultural aspects we tried to establish the “seasons of death” in two Gepidic necropolises – Vlaha (Cluj County) and Fântânele (Bistriţa-Năsăud County) – based on the slight deviations of the axis of the tombs.
Pottery Typology versus Technological Choices: An Early Neolithic Case Study from Banat (Romania)
Authors: Spataro Michela
Published: March 2022

During 2003-2006 a project on the Starcevo-Cris pottery was carriedout at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London (UK). Theaim of the project was to shed more light on the Neolithisation process ofthe Balkan Peninsula. The methods employed to answer this question werescientific analysis of ceramics and fired clay objects, and radiocarbon datingof samples, from 20 early Neolithic sites in Serbia, Romania, and Slavonia.The ceramic analyses were carried out in order to define possibleroutes of trade/exchange in the early Neolithic and the manufacturingprocess of fired clay objects. The radiocarbon dating was required to definean absolute chronology for the early Neolithic in this region and to identifypossible routes for the spread of the Neolithic (Biagi P., Spataro M., 2005;Biagi et al., 2005).
Ground Truthing Magnetometer Data Using Soil Coring: Initial Results from Cornesti-Iarcuri, Timis County, Romania
Authors: Sherwood Sarah
Published: March 2022

is study uses soil augering to explore a sample of the range of geomagnetic anomalies from magnetometer surveys at the massive fortified site of Corneşti-Iarcuri. e cores focus on the south end of the interior of Enclosure II and a limited area to the east between Enclosures II and III. ese areas were studied during the 2010 campaign when the international team used different techniques to verify the age and type of occupations in this portion of the site. e coring results are presented in standardized descriptions and 1 m section photographs. e cores sample both high contrast anomalies from suspected burned deposits and low contrast areas where archaeological deposits are thought to be absent. ese field data suggest that the local calcareous Chernozem soils vary by depth and thickness of calcitic horizons due to slope, erosion, or impact due to possible use of the slopes for borrow. e low magnetic susceptibility of the carbonates can affect the results of the Cesium Magnetometer, in some cases identifying high contrast anomalies due to the close proximity to CaCO3 horizons and other material. In other cases archaeological deposits result in low contrast areas on the magnetogram due to the absence of burning. e initial auger results suggest that while the geomagnetic data clearly maps the enclosures and other burned features, there is the potential that other types of deposits may go unrecognized in this calcareous soil landscape.
Home Sweet Home: Neolithic Architectural Remnants from Cerje – Govrlevo, Republic of Macedonia

The Neolithic site Cerje – Govrlevo, Republic of Macedonia, is well known in broader public by the ceramic fragmented sculpture (torso) of man, so-called Adam from Govrlevo found in 2000. It is a Neolithic settlement at which several houses dating from Early and Middle Neolithic were excavated. These houses built with great architectural skills are typical for the Balkan Neolithic and they are consecutive proof of the grand Neolithic intellect. In their interior various movable and unmovable artifacts were documented, which altogether highlight the high intellectual, economical, social, and cultural achievements of the Neolithic communities who lived at this site.
Așezarea din secolele IV-V d.Hr. de pe Varianta Ocolitoare Sud a municipiului Timișoara, Situl 3 / The Settlement from the 4th-5th centuries AD on the South Bypass Variant of Timișoara, Site 3
Authors: Gindele Robert
Published: March 2022

e preventive archaeological research carried out in the archaeological site of Giroc, on the Timişoara Sud bypass, Km. 12 + 260 – 12 + 980 (Site 3), was aimed to discharge the archaeological load of the perimeter that will be affected by the construction of the road. A surface with 720 m length and between 22 and 25 m width was researched. Apart from a few ditches or other modern interventions, which affected the terrain very little, all 181 identified archaeological features were dated back to the 4th–5th centuries AD. In the present study, we focus on the presentation of deep-dwelling in the ground provided with fire installations. Following our analysis, we can conclude that the fire installations in the dwellings from the Tisza Plain appear during the 2nd–3rd centuries only in isolated cases, in the form of hearths. In the period from the end of the 4th century and in the first half of the 5th-century the hearths began to appear in greater numbers, and ovens were dug into the walls of the houses.

Comitele de Timiș. Un baron al Regatului medieval Maghiar / The Count of Timiș. A Baron of the Hungarian Kingdom
Authors: Iusztin Zoltan
Published: March 2022

From the beginning of the XIIIth century, the most powerful dignitary in the territory between the rivers Mures,Tisza, Danube and the western slopes of the Transylvanian Alps was the Ban of Severin. Despite its temporaryvacancy, the rank and the dignity were maintained until the XVIth century, yet some historians like Maria Holbanspeak about a “fantastic existence”. Certainly, this is only one of the reasons who cause, during the XIVth and theXVth centuries, at the political level, a competitor institution. Then, without being officially included betweenthe baronial ranks, the count’s seat confers to the Count of Timiș himself the same form of address granted to theTransylvania Vayvoda or the Bans of Slavonia and Croatia. This was not a spontaneous decision by the Centralrulers, nor did it occur in a single moment, rather it was the result of an internal process reflecting the politicalchanges at the south-eastern frontier of the medieval Hungarian Kingdom. In view of the Ottoman threats, thesouthern border became very fragile, necessitating that important human and financial resources be supplied forthe defense of the frontier. the dignitary who would manage the entire situation and would lead a part of theoperations for repelling the Ottoman raids would be the count of Timiş.
Rediscovering old finds? Notes on the Bronze Age graves with amber in Western Serbia
Authors: Ljuština Marija
Published: March 2022

e study is the result of rechecking details of funerary practices in the Bronze Age of Western Serbia. Potential presence of amber in grave inventories provided an impetus to examine burial contexts and ways how exotic goods reached the innermost parts of the Balkan Peninsula. Arrival of the first amber artefacts at the territory of Serbia is connected with the Middle Bronze Age, which is later than the earliest finds of the Baltic amber in south Europe and the Mediterranean. e sites with amber artefacts are neither numerous nor with even spatial distribution. e region of Western Serbia stands out from the rest of the broader zone because of its early excavated and early dated amber finds. In all of the cases, the amber finds have funerary context. Focal point of the study is on the rediscovered amber find from the necropolis in Stapari and its context. Based on the data from the documentation and publications, it is not very likely that the necropolis in Stapari can be defined as a flat one. All regional characteristics of synchronous funerary practices must be taken into consideration along with the state of preservation of the site in the 20th century. Consequently, the necropolis can be added to the large group of tumular necropolises, which comprised necropolis in Vranjani, which was analysed as well, due to a problematic amber find. Recent analyses confirmed the Baltic provenance of the amber from the West Morava basin, but contribution to at least partial reconstruction of regional routes which brought the material to this part of the Central Balkans has additional importance. e region settled by the bearers of the Belegiš culture, which was suspected to have served as a starting point for regional trade southwards, provided the first amber find with settlement context.

" e article discusses a terracotta fi gurine representing a shoe, an object founded during a surface research on the southern beach of Lake Bistreţ at Plosca-Cabana de metal, Dolj County. On this occasion is rectifi ed a regrettable confusion (owing to M. Neagoe in his recent article, see footnotes 3 and 6) made between this piece and other one discovered at Cârna-Ostrovogania, in Grave no. 46, in a Žuto Brdo-Gârla Mare cemetery. " e article is a good opportunity to re-discuss the other pieces representing miniatures of shoes or of human feet known in the area of Gârla Mare culture, most of them founded in southern Oltenia. Equally, older debates concerning the functions and possible signifi cances of these miniature fi gurines, sometimes confused with waterfowl protome, are resumed. " e author expressed her doubts that clay miniatures of shoes could be pendants worn around the neck, and believes that the low number of such pieces, in comparison with other fi gurines (anthropomorphic statuettes, waterfowl protomae etc.), on this way discouraged the idea that these pieces have any religious or spiritual connotations. " e author maintains a working hypothesis, expressed with another occasion that such pieces could be attached to any version of anthropomorphic statuettes belonging to I A2 variant characterized by a vertical channel that goes through the bust of the fi gurines. To this variant of fi gurines occurs, on the skirt or at the hip, some perforations with still unknown utility.
Intelectuali bănățeni pe frontul Marelui Război / Intellectuals from Banat on the Front of the Great War
Authors: Pantea Maria Alexandra
Published: March 2022

The outbreak of the conflict and the scale it took affected the Romanian society strongly, and the mourning covered the entire Banat. In this context, some intellectuals from Banat came to the front. They are the ones who lived the drama of the great war, being aware that the thousands of Romanians on the front are in the position to fight for a foreign cause. These intellectuals are those who, through the notes made on the battlefield, have made known the tragedy of the Romanian people, but also the drama of the great war. Interesting are some nuances highlighted by the testimonies of intellectuals like Peter Nemoianu, who in his memoirs speaks of the hardness and discipline of the Austrian front, but also of the hunger he suffered here and of the „Russian spirit” with which the prisoners were treated from the beginning, being accepted and tolerated. Publicist Cassian R. Munteanu, on the front, speaks of the drama of Romanians who have to fight for foreign interests, while Alexandru Ţânţariu witnessed a special meeting on the front, being the one who had the opportunity to discuss in Debrecen with a group of Russian prisoners, among whom he also found Romanians from Bessarabia. The lines written by Caius Brediceanu are also enticing. Arrived on the Italian front, he speaks in his memoirs of a „diabolical night”, in which he could no longer distinguish the rustle of the Austro-Hungarian cannon from that of the bugs sent by the enemies. Due to the difficult situation facing the Romanian society, some intellectuals from Banat have come to fight on the side of the Entente, contributing to the organization of Romanian volunteer troops, such as Cassian Munteanu, but also Avram Imbroane and Sever Bocu. All this describes the drama of the Romanian society, a divided society, but which, due to the difficulties that arose during the war and the activities of its intellectuals, succeeded in gathering, defending its national ideal and forming a new state.

The ceramic human head from Deta (Timiş County). About the La Tène vessels with anthropomorphic decoration from the Carpathian Basin
Authors: Rustoiu Aurel
Published: March 2022

# e ceramic human head discussed in this article was discovered in 1904 at Deta by B. Milleker, being now preserved in the Museum of Vršac. # e main aim of this article is to identify the context of discovery, as well as the chronology and the type of this artefact. At the same time the analysis is taking into consideration the wider cultural signifi cance of the vessels decorated with anthropomorphic elements within the Late Iron Age context in the Carpathian Basin, as well as in connection with the relationships between Celtic communities and the eastern Mediterranean area. # e human head from Deta belonged to a vessel having anthropomorphic handles, a beaker or more probably a kantharos. # e artefact must have come from a destroyed grave. According to its context of discovery and taking into consideration other analogies, the piece can be dated to the La Tène C1, more precisely to the second half of the 3rd century BC. # e vessels with anthropomorphic handles are the result of the contacts between Celtic communities from the Carpathian Basin and the eastern Mediterranean region. # e appearance of these vessels with anthropomorphic details fulfi lled certain demands related to particular rituals and convivial practices, specifi c to the Carpathian Basin. # e contacts with the eastern Mediterranean area, their transmission through Macedonian and northern Balkans fi lters, as well as the local interpretation of these impulses lead to the appearance of certain aspects of culture and civilization specifi c to the eastern Celtic world, having certain inner Carpathians nuances.
Schela Cladovei 1982 – A Supplement to the Original Excavation Report of Vasile Boroneanț
Authors: Boroneanț Adina , McSweeney Kath , Bonsall Clive
Published: March 2022

Schela Cladovei is one of the most important Mesolithic–Neolithic sites in Southeast Europe. It belongs to a group of Stone Age settlements that were discovered ahead of dam construction in the Iron Gates section of the Danube valley in the second half of the twentieth century. It is arguably the only one of these settlements to escape ooding when the river was impounded, although the rise in the river level has led to extensive erosion of the site. However, like most of the sites investigated, published accounts of the excavations at Schela Cladovei are few and lacking in detail. In this paper we review the results of the 1982 season of excavation at Schela Cladovei, directed by Vasile Boroneanț. Our account places emphasis on both the burial remains and the pit and hearth features and is based largely on the original eld notes, plans and photographs of the excavations.
Structuri domeniale in Banatul medieval de Campie. Date asupra patrimoniului funciar al unui comite de Caras din perioada angevina / Manor Structures in the Medieval Plain Banat. Data on the Real Estate Ownage of a Caras County Earl From the Angevine Period
Authors: Boldea Ligia
Published: March 2022

e historographical incursion that we have proposed for ourselves, was intended to be focused on the well defined prototype of a dignitary (earl and castellan) of the Angevine period, vector of the royal policy implemented in one of the counties from the Southern frontier of the Hungarian Kingdom. We consider that the political-administrative career of the magister Posa of Szer, as well as his family, offers an extremely suggestive model of the power mechanism which functions at the level of the medieval Banat of the 14th century. e documents betray a special cohesion of interests, but also a personal one between father and sons, which went to the point, that at the middle of the century, the switch in the county leadership between the magister Posa and his sons appeared as a natural passing on of the torch of the tasks supposed by the county administration from one generation to another. We consider that the particular case of the magister Posa de Szer and of his family is illustrative also for the way in which the function and the auxiliary honour intertwined with the accumulation of personal real estate goods, which has led to the formation of a remarkable family estate, spread out across most Banat counties. It is an interesting case study, revealing through the prism of the information that have survived the time, a pattern that has surely multiplied in an exponential way at the level of the whole kingdom. It is also, an interesting political fresco, lively, which intents to complete the ensemble of the complex realities of the medieval Banat from the 14th century with new data on the manor structures that have coagulated on the Southern borders of the Hungarian Kingdom, in the Banat plain counties.
Unpacking the Emotional Experiences of English Majors Preparing for Postgraduate Entrance Exam in China
Authors: Song Hanxiao , Zhang Yu
Published: March 2022

As a neoliberally-driven test, China’s postgraduate entrance exam is gaining an increasing attention nationwide due to the intense competition in the local market and the dramatic size of Chinese students taking the exam. Under the neoliberal mechanism, Chinese candidates are ideologically self-regulated and emotionally-driven to mobilize their resources and maximize their opportunities to pass the exam. Seeing emotion as sociopolitically loaded and ideologically driven, this study unpacks the emotional experiences of Chinese students preparing for postgraduate entrance exam. Findings indicate that, despite their successful performance, Chinese postgraduate students have experienced a series of negative emotions imposed by various socioeconomic factors. Findings also show that their emotional experiences are intertwined with their different identity construction and negotiated between social relations and power. Overall, this article highlights the importance of addressing the need of studying the emotions and language learners from the sociopolitical perspective.

A cross-sectional research of breast self-examination awareness and practice in rural women in central India
Authors: Mehta Vaibhav , Patel Dipesh Patel
Published: March 2022

Breast carcinoma is the most frequent carcinoma in females around the world, and it can be diagnosed early with self-examination. BSE is a low-cost, easy-to-use, noninvasive approach for detecting breast carcinomas early. As a result, understanding the process and practicing it consistently could protect females from severe morbidity and mortality from breast carcinoma. This research compared the knowledge and practice of BSE among females in Central India before and after they participated in the survey. This six-month cross-sectional research took place in the Tertiary Healthcare Centre’s Rural Health Training Centre (RHTC) service region in Central India. The research comprised 500 females who were over the age of 30. A questionnaire was utilized to collect data on understanding of breast carcinoma and BSE, as well as attitudes and BSE practices. The importance of BSE, how it's done, and how often it's done were all explained to the females. The same residences were visited again after a week, and females were asked if they practiced BSE, the actions they took, any findings they had, and whether they had contacted a surgeon. Three hundred and eighty (78%) of the 500 subjects were aware of breast carcinoma. Breast Self-Examination was known by 174 people (35%). (BSE). After receiving BSE education, the percentage of females carry outing BSE jumped from 21% to 85%. After taking part in the research and learning about BSE, the number of females who don't know anything about BSE dropped from 74 percent to 12 percent. BSE is regarded as a low-cost, fast, non-invasive, and non-hazardous technique. One of the most common reasons why females do not conduct BSE is a lack of knowledge about how to do it. Efforts should be made to develop educational initiatives to improve females’ understanding and practice of breast self-examination.

In past numerous studies reported the potential effect of Boswellia serrata in the treatment of various topical and systemic inflammatory diseases. Despite of potential pharmacological effects the oral delivery of BS is challenging due to poor bioavailability limiting its clinical applications. The objective of this study was to formulate and optimize lipid-based sustained release pellets of Boswellia serrata in order to improve solubility and oral bioavailability. Initially, solid dispersions were formulated by fusion method using hydrophilic grade lipids Gelucire 44/14 and 50/13 in different ratio (1: 0.25, 1: 0.5, 1:0.75, 1:1, and 1:2 w/w). Extrusion spheronization technique was used to further formulate solid dispersion of Boswellia serrata into sustained release pellets utilizing hydrophobic grade lipid carrier gelucire 43/01 and ethyl cellulose as a release retarding agent. Using a 3-level, 2-factor factorial design, the effect of the amount of gelucire 43/01 and ethyl cellulose was investigated and optimized. Compared to pure drug, solid dispersion of Boswellia serrata (batch-F9) demonstrated a 5-fold increase in aqueous solubility and dissolution behavior. The optimum system (batch-F16) achieved a maximum drug release of 95.69 % in 6 hours. In comparison to the marketed preparation, pharmacokinetic investigation in male Wistar rats revealed a 2.52-fold improvement in relative bioavailability of the optimized formulation. The obtained BS lipid-based pellets could be a promising choice for its efficient use in various clinical applications. The developed system could be effectively applied to deliver other phytochemicals having potential pharmacological effects but limited clinical use due to poor bioavailability.

Regulation & registration of drugs and biologics in Brazil
Authors: Pasam Nandini , Kamaraj Raju
Published: March 2022

Registration of medicinal products is a challenging task in various countries as the regulatory requirements differ from country to country around the world. Like in regulated countries medicinal products regulation is a difficult piece of work in Semi-regulated countries as they are not coordinated. Being the sixth most populous country, Brazil gives a great opportunity for the bio/pharmaceutical market. Superior health maintenance, high quality, and modern medicines are being demanded by Brazilians which gives a huge opportunity for overseas investment. Medicinal products registration is a lengthy process in Brazil. Obtaining access to the marketing of drugs and biologics from the Brazilian Regulatory Authority is not an easy business for bio/pharmaceutical companies. One of the most difficult tasks facing regulatory agencies is ensuring that medications are manufactured in accordance with the country's regulatory requirements. This Review article's primary objective is to explain how pharmaceuticals and biologics are regulated and registered in Brazil. Keywords: Brazil, ANVISA, Drugs, Biologics, Regulation.

The objective of present study is to evaluate the acute and sub-acute toxicity of Sivanar Amirtham in Swiss albino mice and Wistar albino rats. A single dose of extract (2000 mg/kg) was given orally to the animals in the acute study, and they were observed for 14 days. In the sub-acute investigation, biochemical, haematological, and histological parameters were assessed after successive doses of Sivanar Amirtham (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg/day) were given for 28 days. After a single or repeated dosage of Sivanar Amirtham, there was no evidence of toxicity or mortality. Sivanar Amirtham median lethal dose (LD50) was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg. When comparing the weights of the treatment and control groups, the Sivanar Amirtham caused no significant differences in body weights or organ weights. Most biochemical and haematological markers were within normal limits. Only the Sivanar Amirtham doses of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg caused significant increases in MCV levels in both male and female rats. Significant increases in SGPT levels were seen in both male and female rats at dosages of 200 mg/kg and also increase in the activities of SGPT in female rats at a dosage of 400 mg/kg Sivanar Amirtham (p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively). Every organ's histological evaluations were normal, except a tiny change in the liver and kidney. Oral administration of the Sivanar Amirtham is considered relatively non-toxic. Keywords: Sivanar Amirtham, Acute Toxicity, Sub-acute Toxicity, Hematology, Serum biochemistry, Histopathology.

As we know inadequate oxygen and nutrition supply tends to cell death. More oxygen and nutrition is required competitively for the rapid growth of cancer cell. So, an angiogenesis inhibitor may help to inhibit the formation of the new blood vessel, which is responsible for the growth of the tumor. Angiogenesis is a vital process, by which new blood vessels are formed. Angiogenesis inhibitors prevent or decrease the formation of new blood vessels by decreasing the secretion of angiogenesis factors that forms tumor cells.

desenvolvimento da sexualidade infantil no cotidiano da sala de aula
Authors: Costa Marelise Veit
Published: March 2022

Independente dos tipos de infância vividos na pós-modernidade, as questões relacionadas ao desenvolvimento da sexualidade infantil estão sempre presentes. Nossa preocupação está em discutir como o professor da educação infantil vê essas questões no seu cotidiano, como ele reage frente às situações vivenciadas com seus alunos em sala de aula. Para tanto, optamos por uma pesquisa qualitativa, realizada com 5 professoras, de crianças entre 03 a 04 anos de idade, de rede particular de ensino. Para a avaliação dos dados coletados, fizemos o que a pesquisa qualitativa nos permite: analisamos de forma reflexiva as respostas dadas pelas professoras. As respostas nos indicam que as professoras se sentem, muitas vezes, pouco preparadas para conduzir as situações de seu dia a dia com a convicção de estar contribuindo para o desenvolvimento da sexualidade de seus alunos.
