Separação de poderes, interpretação e a lei de introdução às normas do direito brasileiro (LINDB)
Authors: Saraiva José
Published: September 2024

A LINDB contém dispositivos que ampliam as possibilidades de atuação do intérprete no âmbito do ordenamento jurídico, como a analogia e a busca por elementos externos, como princípios gerais do Direito. No entanto, ela passou a inserir aspectos mais limitadores na atuação do hermeneuta, em especial do direito público, impondo a este o dever de considerar os aspectos práticos e as consequências no mundo fenomênico da interpretação do ordenamento infraconstitucional, a fim de evitar resultados desproporcionais ou excessivamente onerosos. A exegese normativa do intérprete deverá sopesar no espectro desse fim as consequências no mundo fenomênico, para a obtenção do resultado interpretativo, mesmo que este importe em algum grau na redução da proteção de outros princípios configuradores do bem comum, desde que não comprometa os princípios insertos no art. 37, da Constituição Federal. Na interpretação do ordenamento jurídico infraconstitucional, excluída a lei complementar, é obrigatória a adoção dos critérios hermenêuticos estabelecidos na LINDB, configurando ilegal a decisão – resultado hermenêutico – que dessas orientações se afaste ou contrarie. Por outro lado, na interpretação de normas superiores, a LINDB tem apenas natureza sugestiva, opinativa, e orientadora, não vinculante, sob pena de comprometimento do próprio conteúdo normativo das leis superiores, pois a imposição poderia até ocasionar antinomias materiais. O trabalho utiliza o método dedutivo somado às seguintes técnicas de pesquisa: bibliográfica, documental e empírica; apresentando à comunidade acadêmica as principais considerações acerca do tema ora aventado.
Análise retórica da interpretação especificadora no direito
Authors: Adeodato João Maurício , Lima Yago Roberto Lopes Correia
Published: September 2024

Este trabalho parte da premissa de que a retórica é parte integrante do pensar filosófico e pode servir de instrumento para uma metódica jurídica na sua dimensão analítica. Nesse sentido, denomina-se de “análise retórica” a reflexão descritiva do Direito (entendido como o conjunto de leis, discursos, decisões, técnicas de interpretação etc.), por meio da qual objetiva-se melhor “entendê-lo” e, até mesmo, “explicá-lo”. Para a pesquisa, utilizamos o método hipotético-dedutivo com abordagem comparativa e documentação indireta, realizando revisão bibliográfica e consultas a documentos e sites relevantes. Dentro dessa visão, o presente artigo propõe-se a examinar a interpretação especificadora no Direito, a partir de como ela é vista pelos ontologistas da dogmática brasileira, procurando apontar suas inconsistências e equívocos sob a perspectiva retórica. Ao final, concluímos que o mecanismo da interpretação especificadora é, nada obstante os seus defeitos típicos ontológicos, um excelente instrumento metodológico retórico através do qual os juristas operam argumentos do Direito.
THE PROCESS OF FORMATION OF THE JEWISH SUBURBAN QUARTERS IN LVIV
Authors: Stupivtsev Anton
Published: September 2024

nderstanding of formative and historical processes is basic for the comprehensive approach to the regeneration of historical city quarters, those of the ancient Jewish ghetto of Lviv in particular. According to archaeological and scientific urban studies, theneighbourhood started its development as part of the princerly “posad”, having an ancient Volyn road trading route as one of its forming factors (which survives to this day). Through the centuries jewish community has organically grown here, forming a unique ensemble of residential, religious and public buildings which naturally integrated in the spatial-planning structure of the city as it grew. One of the most prominent structures was the Great Suburban Synagogue (XVI cent.) which was the centre of ghetto’s life and spatial structure. Degradation of historical urban matter of the ghetto was caused by the tragedies of WWI and WWII, which also obliterated ghetto’s social basis and absence of any further practical and public re- consideration for the spatial-planning and historic background of the neighbourhood. Today, most of its blocks have remained a gray zone in the structure of the city center for more than 70 years. Disregard for the ghetto’s formation history and cultural background resulted in inconsistency of realised development approaches and interventions and general public unawareness of the district’s role in the history of the city. The author conducts research and visualizes the characteristic stages of the ghetto’s development, as well as the formative factors that determined it, taking 3 neighbouring historical quarters within its bounds as a basis for study. With this work, author aims at During the research, on-site study and measurements were performed, archival materials and historical iconography were analyzed, modern research works on the history of Lviv and Halychyna were analyzed too, and the obtained information was summarized. As a result, development of the historical quarters of the Jewish suburban district was characterized and structured from princerly times to present day while highlighting the quarters’ architectural and spatial-planning value.
FORTALITIES AND FORTIFIED MANORS OF THE LUBELSKIE VOIVODESHIP: ANALYSIS ON THE EXAMPLE OF SELECTED
Authors: Wilczek Agata
Published: September 2024

Analysing fortalities and fortified manors in the region of the Lublin Voivodeship, the article focuses on their architectural functions, cultural significance and position in the background of spatial planning. The study analyses the condition of the selected three monuments, taking into account their technical and visual condition and functionality. On the basis of the research, it can be concluded that selected monuments from the Lublin region, which show signs of defensive features, currently perform functions that are not consistent with their historical purpose. These neglects not only affect the aesthetics and functionality monuments, but also their durability and survival for future generations. Such a condition without proper consideration of their architectural and historical specificity can lead to irreversible changes and damage. It may be necessary to develop sustainable adaptation plans that take into account both contemporary needs and the protection of cultural heritage. The aim of the article is to deepen knowledge about regional monuments, promote cultural and historical value and propose a concept of a tourist route that can contribute to the increase in the attractiveness of the region. The essence of the study is the recipient's understanding of the potential of the historical buildings by presenting the current state of preservation. The way to meet the current problems and use the potential of monuments is to try to take integrated actions. The concept of a thematic tourist path, adapted to the architectural features of the monuments, could attract tourists and raise public awareness of their value. Cooperation with educational institutions and non-governmental organizations is crucial for the implementation of educational programs and scientific research on cultural heritage. Creating social awareness through the organization of cultural events and regular monitoring of the condition of monuments is necessary for the effective protection and management of cultural heritage, which is to serve present and future generations. The conclusions of the study are intended to initiate a broader discussion on the role and future of architectural heritage in the Lublin region.
Metacognitive Abilities and Socio-Psychological Adaptation of People of Mature Age: Features of Relationships
Authors: Kibalchenko Irina , Eksakusto Tatiana V.
Published: September 2024

The analysis is aimed at determining characteristics of relationships between metacognitive abilities and socio-psychological adaptation in homogeneous cluster groups represented by people of mature age. The main research methods were: cluster analysis, which allows us to identify relatively homogeneous groups; “bootstrap” method to check the normality of the distribution. The study also used factor analysis to determine the relationship between the characteristics of metacognitive abilities and socio-psychological adaptation. The total following variance in the factor models (86.24%, 99.77%, and 100%) as well as the levels of predictive consistency (p≤0.01 to p≤0.05) reflect the reliability and significance of the results obtained. Data processing and interpretation were carried out using qualitative and quantitative statistical methods: Fisher’s angular transformation criterion (φ*) for comparing two samples according to the occurrence frequency of the effect which is interesting to the researcher; Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test (IBM SPSS Statistics).The results of the study allow us to talk about ambivalence in the manifestation of metacognitive abilities formation in people of mature age: on the one hand, a general tendency towards a decrease in the development of metacognitive abilities was discovered, on the other hand, an increase in the degree of structural organization of the entire metacognitive system was revealed in the process of growing up, which generally compensates for the natural decline of potential resource capabilities of adults. This ambiguity in the manifestation of metacognitive abilities is reflected in their relationship with indicators of socio-psychological adaptation of adults. The identified features of the relationship in terms of harmony/inconsistency, integrity, and the content of crystallizing factors generally indicate a multidimensional structure of the relationship between metacognitive abilities and socio-psychological adaptation, when only in some cases can we talk about a direct correlation of these variables: a high level of development of metacognitive abilities determines high social-psychological adaptation.
The problem with permanent expressions of concern: Perpetual doubt
Authors: Teixeira da Silva Jaime A.
Published: September 2024

The expression of concern (EoC) evolved in the neoliberal corrective culture of science to represent an “alert system” for potential problems with papers that might arise at the post-publication stage. One of the problems with EoCs is that they may take months or even years to resolve, while some EoCs remain as such forever. Fairly recently, Elsevier, a publishing giant, introduced a new form of EoCs, or rather, the plain EoC morphed into two types, the temporary EoC, and the permanent EoC. The permanent EoC leaves that paper in a permanent state of unknown use and unclear reliability.

EVALUATING STOCK SELECTION IN THE SAAS INDUSTRY: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE RULE OF 40
Authors: Lee King Fuei
Published: September 2024

The Rule of 40 is a popular financial guideline used by software-as-a-service (SaaS) industry participants to assess the operational health of the companies. This paper investigates the effectiveness of the Rule of 40 as a stock selection criterion. Our study analyses a sample of 1756 SaaS companies worldwide spanning the period 2003-2022. The findings demonstrate that the Rule of 40 adds value and delivers a moderately high Sharpe ratio as a stock selection tool. A modified rule, the SaaS Investing Rule of 65, is proposed and found to outperform the Rule of 40 in identifying relative winners and losers within the SaaS space. The effectiveness of the rules raises practical implications for investors and analysts. Additionally, we explore the effectiveness of alternative versions of the Rule of 40 using different measures of profitability, as well investigate whether the returns are driven by traditional style factors.
Encouraging counsellors to engage in collaborative practice-based research (PBR).
Authors: Manthei Robert
Published: September 2024

Increasing research productivity among practicing counsellors has long been an aim of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors as evidenced by several articles addressing the topic published in the New Zealand Journal of Counselling over the last 20 years. Similarly, in a profession increasingly pressured to be more accountable, it is no longer considered good enough for counsellors and counselling agencies merely to espouse the "art of counselling" perspective in justifying their practices. Instead, researching counselling, especially counselling impact, is vital to the wider acceptance of the profession. Such research depends, in large part, on encouraging more counsellors to participate in researching their own casework, either as individuals or as a member of a research team or group. This article references two examples of the second of those options (specifically, collaboration between a counsellor in private practice and outside researchers) to demonstrate that even rudimentary collaboration between counsellors and researchers can produce useful knowledge about the process and impact of counselling and can have positive effects on a counsellor's practice. Increased collaboration of this sort is one way to fulfil the need for counsellors and researchers to generate more practice-based research (PBR), especially outcome research (Sexton et al., 1997).
Supervising practitioners in the sexual violence sector in Aotearoa New Zealand, who are themselves survivors of sexual harm: Examining potential counter-transferential issues.
Authors: Fuller Sandra
Published: September 2024

This article builds upon existing literature about the supervision needs of practitioners who are themselves adult survivors of childhood sexual harm, and who work in the field of sexual violence. It examines the personal and professional development needs of these survivor-practitioners and highlights potential issues that may surface in their work with adult survivors of childhood sexual harm. Particular attention is given to the counter-transferential dynamics between the survivor-supervisee, their client, and at times their supervisor. The question of what effective supervision looks like in this field of work is explored, with an emphasis on recognising potential counter-transferential issues at play for survivor-practitioners working in social services agencies that address the impacts of sexual harm in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Structural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns Fully and Partially Reinforced with GFRP Bars Tested Under Concentric or Eccentric Compressive Loads

Concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars have been greatly interesting recently. The distinct properties of GFRP bars, such as high tensile strength and low modulus of elasticity compared to steel bars, as well as the linear stress-strain behavior, make the study of GFRP-reinforced concrete (FRP-RC) columns important. This paper investigates the structural behavior of column specimens reinforced by fully and partially GFRP bars subjected to concentric and eccentrically applied Compressive loads. 12 columns were reinforced by (36%, 64%, and 100%) of the GFRP bars ratio, and the control specimen was reinforced by conventional steel rebars; all specimens were tested under different eccentric ratios (e/h) 0, 0.66, and 1. The failure mode, the relation between the axial load and the average axial displacement, and a comparison between the experimental results and the theoretical interaction diagram for columns were presented and discussed. The results show that most of the failure in specimens occurs as a compressive failure, and it fails in the weakest region by crushing concrete, as well as kinking in GFRP bars. Using GFRP bars significantly increases the axial displacement values compared to the steel rebars in longitudinal reinforcement and decreases the failure load for specimens with an increase in the ratio of GFRP bars. The average axial displacement value for columns specimens tested under eccentric load at e/h equal to 0.66 and 1 decreases by 75% and 94.4% compared with the control specimen.
Effects of Volcanic Tuff Use on the Rheological and Mechanical Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete

Published: September 2024

The rise in demand of concrete products has led to overexploitation of river sand the main fine aggregate in concrete resulting in major environmental degradation. As a result, researchers have focused their efforts on developing eco-friendly concrete using alternative renewable materials like volcanic tuff and other natural pozzolana types. This study therefore, aims at investigating the use of Kenyan, Kitengela volcanic tuff as a partial replacement of river sand in self-compacting concrete, and determining the effects it will have on the rheological and mechanical properties of the self-compacting concrete. The study involved partially replacing river sand with volcanic tuff in percentages of 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% and carrying out rheological tests (V-funnel test, L-box test, T-500 test and J-ring test) on fresh concrete and mechanical tests (compressive strength and tensile strength tests) on hardened self-compacting concrete on days 7, 14, and 28 to determine the effects of volcanic tuff on properties of both fresh and hardened self-compacting concrete. There was a general decrease in rheological properties (flow and passing abilities) of self-compacting concrete with increase in volcanic tuff percentage replacement from 0 % to 10%, with least flow and passing abilities recorded at 10% replacement.  Similarly, increase in volcanic tuff percentage replacement led to decrease in both compressive and tensile strength of self-compacting concrete with lowest values recorded at 10% volcanic tuff replacement.
Prospects and challenges in establishing entrepreneurship in post COVID-19 language and culture-related tourist attractions
Authors: Lestari Yuni Budi , Yusra Kamaludin
Published: September 2024

This study discusses prospects and challenges facing start-up entrepreneurs in language and culture-related tourist attractions in Lombok, Indonesia. Data were collected by observing the operations of tourism entrepreneurs and interviewing the owners, workers, clients, and authorities in the industry. The data were analyzed using a mixed method where tourism sales over one year of business experience were quantitatively analyzed and where prime causes leading to profits and losses were qualitatively explicated. The findings identify six prospective opportunities and five challenges in sustainably establishing language and culture-related tourist attractions as core entrepreneurial businesses. This study enriches our understanding of what micro and small entrepreneurs experience at the early stages of business start-ups and how they respond to uncertainties facing them. The study also provides readers with an understanding of the prospects and the challenges facing small tourist-related entrepreneurs in operations at early start-up stages and serves as a reminder to small businesses about the potential challenges in their business operations. The article also recommends viable management plans to refer to as contingency strategies for probable future challenges. Furthermore, this study attempts to fill a gap in the literature on start-up entrepreneurship in language and culture-related tourist attractions.
Factors affecting individual sports consumption motivation towards sports consumption behavior: A bibliometric analysis
Authors: Yan Xue , Johar Md Gapar Md
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this research is to present a bibliometric analysis of the literature on the ways in which the motivations of individual sports consumers impact the creation of sports infrastructure and the creation of sports-related policy. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the PRISMA approach and information gleaned from the Scopus database, 2605 publications were found to be pertinent to the subject. We conducted a literature analysis of trends and patterns using VOSviewer-based knowledge mapping. Findings: Recent years have seen a proliferation of scholarly publications on the topic of individual sports consumption motivation and its influence on policy formulation and infrastructure development. This suggests that interest in this field is expanding. The list of eminent journals, decision-makers, and organizations involved in this issue demonstrates its global influence. The interdisciplinary nature of the subject is reflected in the study’s emphasis on the most widely published authors and key research terminology. Originality/value: This study closes significant knowledge gaps regarding the complex interactions between societal, environmental, and individual factors that affect the motivation to consume sports and how these motivations influence decisions about sports infrastructure and policies. It does this by using bibliometric techniques and the most recent data. The project aims to create a more thorough picture of how public health policy, sports governance, and urban planning are impacted by the motivations behind sports consumption. Policy implications: Policymakers, planners, and sports organizations can use the results to generate more targeted and effective strategies for the development of sports infrastructure and policy formulation. The study highlights how important it is to make well-informed policy decisions and participate in customized involvement in order to improve public welfare and the overall sports consumer experience.
