The article draws attention to the sudden change in the content of the English language discourse during the COVID-2019 pandemic and states the necessity of modification in some aspects of Applied Linguistics domain, such as linguodidactics. It also discusses ways of keeping up and strengthening motivation of university students in studying foreign languages (English in particular), mostly in the distance learning format. The authors claim that in these circumstances students are in need of the teacher’s moral support and encouraging, as well as heightening their intrinsic motivation for studying English as the major means of international and intercultural communication, and that this kind of support should be included into the list of immediate linguodidactic goals. Considerable changes are offered in the range of linguodidactic materials and topics to embrace those related to the current epidemic situation in the world and its economic, social and cultural aspects. The materials presented are targeted at students learning English in a variety of university courses.
VOWEL INSERTION IN CHILD SPEECH
Authors:   TATIANA V. SHUISKAYA Saint-Petersburg State Institute of Technology, SHUISKAYA TATIANA V.
Published: December 2020

The importance of word syllable structure acquisition by children can hardly be doubted. In 3-year-olds speech, there are specific pattern that, from the viewpoint of adult standards, are considered misnomers: examples of syllable elision, consonant elision and vowel insertion. It is believed that vowel insertion in adult native speakers of Russian occurs due to physiological reasons. However, according to the hypothesis, in child’s speech it is vowel phoneme that occurs between consonants and it leads to a change in the word syllable structure. The results of an acoustic study of vowel insertion in two-syllable words produced by three 3-year-old subjects showed well-expressed F-structure that was similar to the surrounding vowel phonemes. 2 types of vowel insertions were discovered: with [a]-like F-structure and [ɨ]-like F-structure. It was also found that vowel insertion mean duration was no different from the one of a “legitimate” vowel phoneme with similar acoustic pattern. 20 Russian native speakers performing a discrimination task during a perceptual study were unanimous in perceiving the number of syllables increase as a result of vowel insertion being interpreted as a “legitimate” phoneme presence. The participants were also unanimous in the phoneme affiliation of the vowel insertions that closely correlated with their F-structure.

Published: December 2020

The paper dwells on the specificity of the evolutionary features of the linguocultural megaconcept HUMAN BEING within its social component in the English Biblical discourse. The present study analyzes the correlation between the lexical means of verbalization of the concept and the peculiarities of historical and sociocultural conditions of creating the studied Holy Scripture versions. It is hypothesised that different time periods stimulate the evolution of the Biblical discourse which is viewed as the milieu for the conceptual structure under consideration. The linguocultural concept does not stay the same being modified under the terms of the Biblical discourse transformation. Particular attention is paid to the macroconcept SOCIAL POSITION represented by the components WEALTH and POVERTY - they reveal the images of wealthy and needy people, and the kataconcept OCCUPATION (its components ADMINISTRATION, ARMY, PRIESTHOOD, CRAFTSMANSHIP, SERVITUDE), which involves various types of professionals...

This cross-sectional study analyzed the burnout symptoms of 146 physical education students from a higher education institution in Paraná, who answered the Burnout Syndrome Inventory. Data analysis was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, U Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests (p <0.05). The results showed that women had higher scores in the dimensions of Illusion (p = 0.006) and Psychic Wear (p = 0.001). Students who do not have a partner had a higher score in the guilt dimension (p = 0.040). 1st year students had a higher score in the dimension of Psychic Wear (p = 0.001) and Indolence (p = 0.004). It was concluded that sex, marital status and year of the course seem to be intervening factors in the burnout symptoms of physical education students.

Indiscriminate use of self-medication may result in serious consequences, concerning a public health problem. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to assess the practice of self-medication by young people and adults. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, with convenience sampling of 184 participants aged between 18 and 35 years, submitted to an instrument of questions about sociodemographic variables and related to self-medication practices, in 15-day recall period. It showed high incidence of females (80,4%) and of young people aged between 18 and 25 years (66,3%). There was a predominance (89,7%) of participants who used drugs in the last 15 days, majority (81,5%) used some medication without prescription. The main drugs consumed were analgesics/antipyretics (29,3%) and antiallergics/antihistamines (14,2%). The main symptoms were headache (27,4%) and allergy (13,7%), the practice was motivated by having previously been treated with the same medication for the same disease (55,6%). Population says they know medication consumed (84,7%) and risks of self-medication (84,8%), assessing the knowledge of risks as high (35,3%) and having the drug leaflet (47,0%) as the most used means of searching for information. So presupposes self-medication may be more focused on question of knowledge and self-confidence and not to lack of access to health system. For future studies, an investigation is recommended about this practice being characterized as responsible or indiscriminate, also evaluating in more depth first contacts and sources of referrals that practicing individuals have.
The concept of emotional labour within the boundaries of social responsibility
Authors: Rainero Christian , Modarelli Giuseppe
Published: December 2020

The research aims to investigate the main areas of influence on work motivation and personal satisfaction in intensive emotional labour ambit: teaching profession. Once explained the concepts related to the process of negative influence on engagement, motivation, and poor performance effects, capable of attacking health (burnout), the authors decided to investigate the preponderant aspects of resilience to hostile and emotional labour-intensive work contexts. In this direction, the authors opted for field analysis, through the help of questionnaires on a vast cross-regional sample of professional teachers working in Italian public schools, on the other hand, it has been sampled the category of aspiring teachers (in literature observed as higher early stage motivated). It has been possible to attribute the role of activator of resilience to the ability to making-sense of the role and job carried out, resorting to the interpretative power of aphorisms, according to individual and institutional social responsibility. In this sense, teachers would demonstrate high resilience levels, validating the existence of a crucial power in making-sense against emotional labour intensity and hostile work environment, considering themselves however satisfied beyond the difficulties.

Cybercrimes in various forms are on the raise daily; these crimes pose a potential threat to our moral society as well as economy and nation building at large. They are namely: social engineering, malvertising, ransom ware, Spamming, Botnets, fake bank alert messages (SMS) /unsolicited SMS requesting you to provide bank details as Bank Verification Number (BVN), fraud, identity theft, piracy, pornography, hacking, fraudulent e-mail related SMS, forgery such as fake documents as Certificate etc. Thus, Cybercrime is gradually becoming a threat to our moral society at large. Hence, the increase number of cybercrime rate is an open field of ongoing research studies. Therefore, we have proposed a new approach that emphases on the prominent cybercrimes carried out around the world, and presents a precise study in Nigeria within some secondary school students. The study revealed a new approach to fighting Cybercrimes in order to combat cybercriminals. Keywords: Cybercrime, Botnets, Malvertising, Ransom ware, Pornography
The use of historical cost and fair value for property and plant and equipment measurement: Evidence from the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Karapavlovic Nemanja , Obradovic Vladimir , Bogicevic Jasmina
Published: December 2020

The aim of the paper is to reveal how financial statement preparers in the
developing and transition country of the Republic of Serbia, behave in
situations where they can choose between the valuation model based on
historical cost and the valuation model based on fair value. In that regard,
we have analysed the subsequent measurement of property and plant and
equipment in Serbia. We find that companies are more likely to choose the
historical cost model than the revaluation model (the model based on fair
value) for owner-occupied properties and plant and equipment, and the fair
value model rather than the historical cost model for investment properties.
The willingness to use the revaluation model for subsequent measurement of
owner-occupied properties and plant and equipment varies across different
categories of companies, and we find a statistically significant
relationship between that willingness and the legal form of the company. We
also find that in the notes to their financial statements, a significant
number of companies in Serbia do not disclose adequate information on the
model used for subsequent measurement of property and plant and equipment,
although such information is required by the applicable financial reporting
standards.
Kontroversi Metode Deteksi COVID-19 di Indonesia
Authors: Wahjudi Mariana
Published: December 2020

Abstract—The governance of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia is carried out in accordance with the WHO directions. Serological tests, often mentioned as rapid antibody tests, are used for mass screening testing while the polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR)-based tests are performed for routine confirmation of COVID-19 infection cases. PCR test is one of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) for detection of viral RNA. The management of the COVID-19 detection caused controversies at the beginning of pandemic period. It seems that the controversies occurred due to misperception regarding the tests, as well as misunderstanding caused by differences in individual immune responses, viral dynamics in human bodies and clinical outcomes. In response to community opinion controversies, this paper discuss the following topics, i.e. a glimpse about COVID-19, the characteristics of SARS-CoV-2, viral dynamics in human body, the dynamics of human immune response to SARS-CoV-2, basic explanation about COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 testing, and the last part explained the occurred controversies. Keywords: Indonesia, polymerase chain reaction, rapid test, SARS-CoV-2, serology

Abstrak— Penetapan pelaksanaan deteksi kasus COVID-19 di Indonesia dilaksanakan sesuai arahan WHO. Uji serologis atau rapid test antibodi digunakan untuk test atau skrining massal sedangkan untuk uji berbasis polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) digunakan untuk konfirmasi rutin kasus infeksi COVID-19. Uji molekuler secara PCR merupakan salah satu metode nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT), untuk mendeteksi RNA virus. Penatalaksanaan deteksi Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ini di awal masa pandemik menimbulkan berbagai kontroversi di masyarakat. Kontroversi terjadi terutama karena pemahaman yang berbeda dari masyarakat mengenai prinsip pengujian dan adanya salah pengertian akibat adanya perbedaan respon immun antar individu, dinamika virus COVID-19 dalam tubuh orang terinfeksi, dan luaran klinis pasien. Menanggapi kontroversi pendapat di masyarakat maka pada tulisan ini dibahas tentang sekilas COVID-19, karakteristik SARS-CoV-2, dinamika virus dan pembentukan antibodi dalam tubuh manusia, penjelasan prinsip pengujian COVID-19 dan SAR-CoV-2 serta ulasan tentang kontroversi yang terjadi.

Teletrabajo, COVID-19 y el ejercicio regular de la función empresarial como forma de resguardar también los derechos de quienes prestan servicios
Authors: Balbín Adolfo Nicolás
Published: December 2020

En el presente artículo, escribo unas breves líneas vinculadas con la implementación del teletrabajo en el contexto del COVID-19, adicionando algunas de sus proyecciones. A su respecto, luego de ubicar a la nueva modalidad del contrato laboral en aquel marco pandémico, menciono los beneficios individuales que ella trae consigo, para luego dar cuenta acerca de ciertos límites que, primero desde una visión bilateral del trabajo, y luego desde una mirada plurilateral del mismo, igualmente deben ser considerados. Mi hipótesis es que si bien la figura del teletrabajo supone la recepción de un instituto muy útil no solo en los tiempos que corren sino también para los sucesivos mejores momentos, la misma debiera ser aplicada de forma controlada y razonable, a fin de que, a la par que genera beneficios para las empresas, no suponga un ejercicio irregular de los poderes de dirección que, en aquellas, se les reconoce a los empleadores. La conclusión central a la que arribo es que si bien hay que tomar en cuenta los beneficios que puede conllevar la utilización de la nueva modalidad del contrato laboral, también se debe considerar su utilización adecuada para no perjudicar a los trabajadores.

Case Report of a Term Newborn with Prenatally Diagnosed Alobar Holoprosencephaly
Authors: Malchova E , Demova K.
Published: December 2020

Holoprosencephaly is a congenital structural abnormality of brain resulting from incomplete cleavage of prosencephalon into two cerebral hemispheres. It is classified as a disorder of organogenesis and brain histogenesis and is typically associated with facial anomalies.

Holoprosencephaly is relatively rare – the incidence in live births varies between 1:10,000 – 1:15,000 but is described in 1 out of 250 spontaneously aborted embryos.

There are four major varieties of holoprosencephaly according to the degree of separation of the brain hemispheres; this division is crucial for the patient’s prognosis. Three classic subtypes are alobar, semilobar, and lobar holoprosencephaly and there is also a fourth subtype called middle interhemispheric variant.

We present a case study of a term newborn with prenatally diagnosed holoprosencephaly with severe facial dys-morphism and associated health complications.

Published: December 2020

The objective of this experiment was to identify the effects of two-stage separation of a mixture of corn hybrid seeds to their fractional structure, sawing qualities, and harvesting properties. Research materials were seeds from different ripeness groups of selection in the State Establishment Institute of Grain Crops of National Academy Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine. The research included the laboratory modeling of the seed-separation process in the regimes of sieve separation which was done by features of the linear dimension of a seed. The separation process had two stages – the first stage and the second stage. At the first stage, this mixture of seeds was divided into two components with approximately similar capacity. At the first stage of choice, separate surfaces depended on the shape of the seed and the surface could have holes with different dimension sizes (round holes with a definite diameter or oblong with definite width and length). At the second stage, each component of the seed mixture was divided into fractions of necessary quantity, they had different shapes and linear dimensions of a seed. In researches, it was determined output and weight of 1,000 seeds as the main technic-technological indexes of the seed separation process, laboratory, and field germination, and yield capacity of fractions for corn seeds as the main indexes of quality. It was established that the two-stage method of division of the seed mass into fractions by feature “width of caryopsis” was the most effective for the separation of sowing materials of corn seeds. The indicated method provided the output of high-quality seeds of hybrid Svitiaz’ for the first sowing group within 68.8 – 81.9%, for the second sowing group 66.6 – 81.2% by years of researches. Separation in a two-stage regime with a division of seed mixture at the finishing phase of the seed separator work by feature “thickness of caryopsis” provided the formation of more uniform seed fractions.

In particular, it is expected that the Internet of Things (IoT) will become increasingly pervasive in everyday life. Among different technologies, devices based on Long Range (LoRa) and LoRaWAN stand out due to their relative low cost, low power consumption and large cover range. In this survey, recent papers investigating applications of LoRa modules have been selected. The different use-cases are presented with a comparison between communication parameters and results obtained.
Contributions to the study of common artifacts and errors in conventional and three-dimensional radio-imaging used in the evaluation of odontal, endodontic and periodontal pathology.
Authors: Kulcsar Diana-Florina , Stoica Oana Elena , Monea Monica Dana , Stoica Alexandra Mihaela
Published: December 2020

Introduction: X-ray radio imaging is commonly used because most diseases in the oral area can only be diagnosed by using this method. Proper identification of elements on a radiological image may also be difficult due to errors that may occur before, during or after the X-ray. These errors are called artifacts.

Aim of the study: The aim of our study is to distinguish the artifacts that can occur on two-dimensional and three-dimensional dental X-rays (intraoral or extraoral) from the actual pathology of the investigated area, by performing control X-rays.

Material and Methods: In our study we viewed, assessed and compared a number of 80 retroalveolar X-rays, 45 orthopantomographs (OPG) and 35 Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT). In case of artifacts or errors, X-rays were repeated within 5 days or a CBCT was performed. In the case of OPGs, another option was to perform retroalveolar X-rays to establish the final diagnosis.

Results: From a total of 80 retroalveolar X-rays, in 13 cases (16.25%) we found artifacts. Of these, in only 4 cases (5%) diagnosis and treatment plan were changed following a clinical examination or a CBCT. In the case of OPGs, out of a total of 45 OPGs, 17 (37.7%) presented artifacts, but only in a percentage of 17.7% (8 cases) they affected the diagnosis. Of the 35 CBCTs, in 10 of them (28.57%) prosthetic works with a metal component or implants were present, with specific artifacts found, but their presence did not influence the diagnosis.

Conclusion: It is necessary for doctors to know the anatomy of the oral region, the most fervent appearance of the components and the different types of artifacts that may occur. Control X-ray is a very commonly used possibility, but there are cases where radiation exposure needs to be minimized.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Besides abutment preparation, the impression is essential in order to achieve an esthetical and functional prosthetic restoration. Proper gingival displacement and abutment finish line exposure is crucial for the proper impression technique.

The study aims are to investigate the vertical gingival displacement and if the free gingival margin returns to its original position after seven days by using a retraction cord impregnated with different chemical substances.

Materials and method: Our clinical study evaluated on digital photos the modification of the healthy, free gingival margin position on the labial surface of two upper central incisors in the same female patient during the sulcus enlargement with the mechano-chemical method.

Results: Statistically significant differences were obtained by comparing the mean values of vertical gingival displacement obtained using a non-impregnated and an impregnated retraction cord with different chemical at each time of the measurements.

Conclusion: The mechano-chemical technique is an efficient method for gingival displacement regardless the impregnating solution used.
HPCWMF: A Hybrid Predictive Cloud Workload Management Framework Using Improved LSTM Neural Network
Authors: Kumar K. Dinesh , Umamaheswari E.
Published: December 2020

For cloud providers, workload prediction is a challenging task due to irregular incoming workloads from users. Accurate workload prediction is essential for scheduling the resources to the cloud applications. Thus, in this paper, the authors propose a predictive cloud workload management framework to estimate the needed resources in advance based on a hybrid approach, which is a combination of an improved Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network and a multilayer perceptron network. By improving the traditional LSTM architecture by using opposition-based differential evolution algorithm and dropout technique on recurrent connection without memory loss, the proposed approach has the ability to perform a better prediction process. A novel hybrid predictive approach is aiming at enhancing the prediction performance of the cloud workload. Finally, the authors measure the proposed approach’s effectiveness under benchmark data sets of NASA and Saskatchewan servers. The experimental results proved that the proposed approach outperforms the other conventional methods.
Vitamin E and Selenium Decreased Cortisol in Cattle
Authors: Mudroň P.
Published: December 2020

Twenty dairy cows with left abomasal displacement were used to investigate the effects of vitamin E and selenium treatment on blood cortisol in dairy cows stressed by omentopexy. The cows were randomly divided into two groups. Ten hours before surgery 6 g of DL-α-tocopheryl acetate (6 mg.kg−1) and 67 mg of natrium selenite (0.1 mg.kg−1) in a volume of 40 ml were administered subcutaneously to 10 cows; the control animals (n = 10) received an equivalent volume of injectable water (40 ml). The injection of vitamin E and selenium produced a rapid rise (P < 0.05) in blood α-tocopherol and selenium concentrations. The serum vitamin E increased several times ten hours after vitamin E and Se injection and raised continuously to the highest average concentration of 21.6 mg.l−1 at hour 24 after the surgery. The highest selenium concentration was seen ten hours after selenium administration with holding the increased concentrations in comparison to initial ones during the whole study. Serum cortisol increased in both groups after surgery. The highest cortisol concentrations were reached at one hour after surgery in the experimental and control group (56.7 ± 28.8 and 65.3 ± 26.1 μg.l−1, respectively). A return to the levels similar to the initial ones was recognized 24 hours after the surgery. The ANOVA revealed a significant effect of vitamin E and selenium injection on serum cortisol (P < 0.05). In conclusion, we have demonstrated that abdominal surgery resulted in typical stress changes with a weaker cortisol response to the abdominal surgery in animals treated with vitamin E and selenium.

Authors: Mérő Thomas Oliver , Žuljević Antun
Published: December 2020

During winter, Long-eared Owls (Asio otus) usually roost in groups in urban areas, but their nocturnal movement patterns are less known. The aim of our study is to provide insight into the local-scale urban movement habits of Long-eared Owls. Our study was carried out between 2015 and 2019 in the autumn and winter period, by observations in the early evening and by ringing and recapture of owls in the town of Sombor (NE Serbia). We observed owls when leaving the roosting site located in the town centre following the greenery of the larger avenues towards the outskirts. Owls were sporadically observed in densely built areas of the town, narrow streets with less greenery. Ringing and recapture data suggest that owls were closely linked to the green corridors. They probably used these corridors for easier orientation and to prey on birds roosting in trees in the town, such as sparrows (Passer domesticus, P. montanus), Common Blackbirds (Turdus merula) or Fieldfares (T. pilaris) appearing in harsh winters, and sometimes also pigeons.
Performing Arts And Limitation As A Motive
Authors: Mircioagă Ion
Published: December 2020

Two categories of limitations are identified in the performing arts: physical, on the one hand, and those related to the intellectual and emotional predispositions of artists, on the other. Physical boundaries, in turn, are divided into material barriers - for example, the type of performing space and its dimensions - and the constraints generated by the anatomy and morphology of each artist. The experience had at the Vasile Alecsandri National Theater, in Iaşi, is evoked, while insisting on the importance of the actors’ abilities to go through the different states of mind that accompany various ages of man. The discussion of limitations involves the discussion of the new. The contribution of new stage technologies to the evolution of theater is recorded. It is briefly described, in context, the experience facilitated by the show Planet of Lost Dreams, in order to advocate for the avoidance of the unwarranted use of means such as video projections, the Internet, etc. The challenges posed by the mix of 3D and 2D images are noted. The view is advanced that the total absence of limitations, as well as their formal treatment can block the development of the theater.
Hamlet’s Theatre Lesson
Authors: Cornici Antonella
Published: December 2020

Hamlet is the play that has ignited the most numerous polemics, and about the Prince of Denmark and his madness, may it be considered real or acted out, thousands of pages have been written. “Hamlet is the absolute character. No other author has ever managed to create something with such a spectacular status. He is an enigma, the only one that has never given anyone the chance to fully decipher it, not one from all the people that had ever come close to it.”1 Hamlet- the actor and the director, this is the perspective from which one will seek answers by following the text and certain unique directorial approaches. One analyzed the monologue from the second scene of the third act. In this “theatre lesson”, one can find guidelines on acting, but also on directing, pieces of advice that are valid today. Hamlet is one of the characters with the most monologues, pages and pages of words that cover the same dilemma – To be or not to be. One proposes to follow the acting lesson, but also the play-within-the-play scene, as they are connected from the actors’ and directors’ perspectives. The monologue presents strict guidelines for actors/directors, exemplifying them, and in the scene of the performance one can notice whether the “lesson” was truly efficient or not. One will follow this specific path in certain productions, considered as being unique.
Is It Complicated? Validity of Personality Interactions for Predicting Performance
Authors: Bradburn Jacob , Ryan Ann Marie , Boyce Anthony , McKinniss Tamera , Way Jason
Published: December 2020

Research on personality within the organizational sciences and for employee selection typically focuses on main effects, as opposed to interactive effects between personality variables. Large, multi-organizational datasets involving two different measures of personality were examined to test theoretically driven trait by trait interactions in predicting job performance. Interactive effects of Agreeableness and Conscientiousness, Agreeableness and Extraversion, Extraversion and Conscientiousness, and Emotional Stability and Conscientiousness were hypothesized as predicting overall job performance. However, these hypothesized effects were generally not supported. Implications for personality assessment are discussed.
BREVES CONSIDERAÇÕES SOBRE A ATUAÇÃO DO MINISTÉRIO PÚBLICO NO COMBATE AO CRIME ORGANIZADO DO COLARINHO BRANCO: QUEM TEM MEDO DO MINISTÉRIO PÚBLICO?
Authors: Demercian Pedro Henrique , Araujo Juliana Moyzés Nepomuceno
Published: December 2020

A Constituição Federal de 1988 alterou, substancialmente, o perfil do Ministério Público. Afastou-o da conformação que hoje tem na grande maioria dos países da Europa Continental - onde, aliás, deita raízes a Instituição. Enfatizou sua peculiar natureza jurídica, que não integra e tampouco se submete à hierarquia do Estado-Aparato; o espaço de autonomia do Ministério Público é bastante distinto de outros entes Estatais, notadamente porque ele é, na verdade, o próprio fiscal do poder. A partir de 1988 a Instituição perdeu o papel de advogado do Estado e se transformou, definitivamente, em advogado da sociedade: a sociedade-governante. Sob essa ótica pretende-se discutir no presente artigo a concreção de seus princípios constitucionais (unidade, indivisibilidade e independência funcional), sua relação com algumas das funções institucionais ligadas à persecução penal e a sua repercussão no cenário atual brasileiro, quando se vivencia um intenso combate ao crime organizado de colarinho branco, envolvendo, especialmente, figuras proeminentes da República.
POR UMA TEORIA DA INTERPRETAÇÃO CONSTITUCIONAL: ENTRE O ORIGINALISMO E A CONSTITUIÇÃO VIVA
Authors: Staats Sabrina , Santos de Morais Fausto
Published: December 2020

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar as duas principais teorias da interpretação constitucional americana, quais sejam, o Originalismo e a Constituição Viva. Observa-se como problema de pesquisa: quais as principais teorias da interpretação constitucional norte-americana? O estudo dessas teorias se mostra relevante, pois o STF, como corte suprema, não possui ainda um modelo consolidado de interpretação constitucional, cabendo, então, buscar na experiência norte-americana referência sobre a interpretação constitucional. Partindo das teorias do Originalismo e da Constituição Viva como marco teórico da interpretação da Constituição Norte-americana, assume-se como objetivos específicos, delinear no que consistem ambas as teorias e suas diferenças, apresentar suas metodologias de interpretação e, por fim, ilustrar seus métodos de interpretação em decisões exemplificativas do STF. A pesquisa se baseou pelo método dedutivo e entre as técnicas utilizadas no desenvolvimento da pesquisa estão a pesquisa bibliográfica na literatura referente ao assunto do trabalho e análise de decisões do STF.

Goldenhar syndrome (GS) is the most severe form of the oculoauriculovertebral spectrum, a developmental disorder primarily involving the structures derived from the first and second branchial arches, intervening first pharyngeal pouch and branchial cleft characterized by microtia, facial asymmetry, ocular abnormalities, and abnormalities of the vertebral column. A multifactorial etiology involving genetic and environmental factors has been proposed and the majority of the cases are sporadic in occurrence. The clinical phenotype of GS is highly variable and multiple associated anomalies of various organ systems have been reported in the literature. The term “Expanded Goldenhar Complex” has been used when there are associated unusual extrafacial abnormalities involving major organ systems such as the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, and respiratory system. We report a case of Expanded Goldenhar Complex with multiple anomalies, some of which are very rarely reported associations. A 5-year-old boy presented with right-sided hemifacial microsomia, microtia, preauricular and malar skin tags, bilateral radial club hands, and scoliosis since birth. Imaging revealed additional abnormalities including aural atresia, unilateral pulmonary agenesis, dextrocardia, vertebral segmentation defects, left renal ectopia, and right undescended testis. Surgical corrections were undertaken for the right radial club hand and undescended testis and he is awaiting surgery for the left club hand. Complete imaging evaluation of children with dysmorphic facies and limb abnormalities helps in identifying the various associated organ anomalies and to arrive at an accurate syndromic diagnosis. These patients have to be managed by a multidisciplinary team of clinicians on a case-to-case basis and have a good prognosis if there are no major cardiac defects or intellectual disability.

Revisiting the Dividend and Investment Puzzle: An International Review using US Corporate Governance Data
Authors: Farhan Mahboob
Published: December 2020

This explanatory comparative review uses pooled regression, weighted least squares and GLS panel analysis on 943 listed US firms (2005-2009), while examining the effect of corporate governance (good and questionable), profitability and sales revenue on dividends and investment, seeking to examine the different aspects of the dividend and investment puzzle. After rigorous robust scrutiny, the research empirically endorses the claim that Corporate governance pursue investment decision, while curbing dividend payout, profoundly by questionable corporate governance; cash dividends are seldom given in the US. Sales Revenue (and the firm’s value) boost investments, while its positive influence on dividends is insignificant. All other tactics impede Dividend policy, most profoundly by the firm’s value.  Taxable income impedes investment. On the other hand, the firm’s value and sales revenue do significantly influence corporate investment decisions, as postulated by the pecking order, capital structure substitution and residual theories.  The empirical results reveal the latent capitalization/expensing ploy used by listed firms.Results suggest that US firms prefer investing funds generated from sales revenue, while expensing off tax deductible profits, thus benefiting from both the virtues of capital investment and expensing. Tax implication as well as the fallacy of dividend avoidance is also examined, apart from recommending policy for regulatory authorities as well as governors (board of directors) of firms to pursue.
Huella minera en la ciudad de Guanajuato (México) entre los siglos XVI - XIX: morfología urbana y planimetría en el archivo de indias en Sevilla (España)
Authors: Martínez-Roldán Nieves , Goytia-Goyenechea Lola
Published: December 2020

Guanajuato es una ciudad singular: su localización, paisaje único e historia han condicionado la morfología urbano-territorial de la ciudad y su entorno, evolucionando ambos junto a la minería y generando una interesante bibliografía y planimetría. Constituida por un centro histórico no muy longevo y una serie de asentamientos periféricos producto de la actividad  minera, en Julio de 1982 la ciudad es declarada Zona de Monumentos Históricos por el Instituto de Antropología e Historia, en 1988 fue inscrita por la UNESCO en la Lista de Patrimonio Mundial bajo el nombre de Ciudad Histórica de Guanajuato y Minas Adyacentes, y desde 2006 tiene el reconocimiento de ser la Quinta Ciudad más Bella del Mundo, y todo ello gracias a su arquitectura y minería como recuerdo de su pasado colonial. El interés de este artículo radica en realizar un acercamiento a los elementos que han dejado su propia huella como consecuencia de la actividad minera, y referenciarlo a los planos que se encuentran localizados en el Archivo de Indias de Sevilla.
La reivindicación del paisaje urbano histórico a través del espacio público: El centro de Ciudad Juárez como escenario simbólico de análisis
Authors: Holguin Avila Raul
Published: December 2020

El interés del presente artículo es abordar la reivindicación del paisaje urbano histórico a través del espacio público y su relación con las prácticas y los imaginarios con la intención de establecer la importancia de incluir estos elementos al cuestionarse sobre las formas mediante las cuales se interviene, percibe y preserva el paisaje urbano histórico.Para ello, se han desarrollado 32 entrevistas en profundidad en dos tipologías de actores distintas relacionados con el centro de Ciudad Juárez, las cuales mediante análisis de discurso, han permitido enfatizar en los aspectos tangibles e intangibles que dotan de significado el centro histórico puntualizando en el espacio público, las prácticas sociales y los imaginarios urbanos.Entre los principales hallazgos se destacada que la implementación de espacios públicos en la zona centro de la ciudad que en relación con la asignación de significados a determinados edificios patrimoniales, permite ampliar las dinámicas de interacción en la zona, lo que tiene como resultado la generación de lugares y prácticas que se orientan a la vinculación con el carácter patrimonial de la zona asignando valores positivos a las formas de percibir el centro y por lo tanto del paisaje urbano histórico.
Requerimientos de diseño ambiental al interior de los edificios en México
Authors: Hernández Moreno Silverio
Published: December 2020

El objetivo fue la revisión y análisis de normatividad mexicana acerca de Calidad Ambiental al Interior de los Edificios que fuera equivalente a las normas estadounidenses que se solicitan durante el proceso de certificación LEED® v4, con el propósito de certificar edificios en México. La metodología se resume en la revisión de normas mexicanas que tuvieran equivalencia con la estadounidense y en concordancia con sus contenidos, su rigor de aplicación y su vigencia. Como resultado, se obtuvo que en la mayoría de los requerimientos solicitados por la categoría de Calidad Ambiental al Interior de las Edificaciones no hubo equivalencia entre normas, y por tanto se concluye que mientras las normas mexicanas no sean lo suficientemente completas para aplicación en este tipo de modelos o sistemas de clasificación ambiental en edificios, se seguirá cumpliendo con las normas estadounidenses siempre y cuando tengan una adecuada adaptación al contexto mexicano por parte de los proponentes.
