AUTOFAGIA NO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL
Authors: De Menezes Albuquerque Newton , Vieira de Almeida Davi Everton
Published: February 2022

O presente artigo versa sobre o fenômeno da autofagia no Supremo Tribunal Federal, termo usado por Marco Aurélio ao se referir a cassação da decisão de um ministro por um de seus pares. Demonstra que as razões que promovem ações dessa natureza compartilham a mesma raiz do ativismo judicial, qual seja, o câmbio da ordem jurídica soberana objetivamente expressa na constituição por critérios subjetivos de justiça pelo apanágio de princípios e regras esparsas. A fim de mostrar a importância da soberania para a organização do estado, traz a lume a teoria de Jean Bodin, jurista e publicista francês que elaborou as bases modernas do estado e sua organização pela vontade do soberano. Relembradas as lições do autor analisar-se-á, a partir da reclamação 31.965 Paraná, o fenômeno da autofagia, sua origem, possivelmente relacionada à monocratização das decisões da corte, assim como seus prováveis desdobramentos, projetados à partir das lições do livro ‘Como morrem as democracias” de Steve Levitski e Daniel Ziblatt.

A conclusão aponta que houve uma virada normativa na internet, permitindo que as normas que afetam seu uso e seu desenvolvimento se autoconstitucionalizem e desenvolvessem e legitimassem outras normas da própria internet.
DEVERES FUNDAMENTAIS E A DESOBEDIÊNCIA CIVIL EM DEMOCRACIAS DE BAIXÍSSIMA INTENSIDADE
Authors: Da Silva Heleno Florindo , Fabriz Daury Cesar
Published: February 2022

A realidade presente da política, sobretudo, do modo de se fazê-la a partir da crise econômica mundial em 2008, trouxe países periféricos, bem como, alguns centrais, para um debate interessante acerca dos desdobramentos do modelo (neo)liberal da democracia representativa (democracia de baixa/baixíssima intensidade), no tocante ao afastamento da sociedade civil frente a seus governantes, principalmente, em contextos em que al afastamento promove o surgimento de governos e representantes ilegítimos que buscam, em meio ao cenário conturbado, emplacar reformas estruturais em seus países, o que poderá, conforme será discutido neste estudo, ensejar, a partir da análise sobre o direito de resistência e seu processo de caracterização em desobediência civil, a possível existência de um dever fundamental de desobedecer civilmente as leis ou atos políticos emanados desses governos ilegítimos, frutos desses cenários conturbados de crise econômica, institucional e política.
CONSTITUIR PELA FALA:
Authors: Prates Francisco de Castilho
Published: February 2022

Resumo: O presente artigo aborda o complexo e sensível problema dos chamados discursos de ódio. O objetivo consiste em demonstrar que a distinção entre falar e agir, em relação aos discursos de ódio, desconsidera certos impactos nos atingidos por tais ‘assaltos verbais”. O artigo problematiza essa distinção para afirmar a necessidade de uma revisão epistemológica. Para esse propósito, primeiramente, construímos uma visão geral das definições e dos elementos do discurso de ódio. Em um segundo momento, mostramos, a partir de uma dada leitura da Teoria dos Atos de Fala, que essa distinção se revela insustentável quando confrontada com a historicidade subjacente aos discursos de ódio. Com tal objetivo, assumiu-se uma metodologia crítica, de base interdisciplinar, à distinção entre falar e agir. A pesquisa realizada fundou-se, principalmente, nos trabalhos desenvolvidos por algumas pensadoras que trabalham tal tema a partir do contexto estadunidense, as quais demonstram o anacronismo da dicotomia aqui abordada.

The apparent conflict of Norwegian pelagic fisheries management and Norwegian seafood council export promotion
Authors: Williams Gary W. , Capps Oral
Published: February 2022

The Norwegian government operates pelagic fishery management systems designed to avoid overfishing and foster sustainable annual landings while at the same time managing an export promotion program designed to increase foreign sales of herring and mackerel. Simultaneously promoting foreign sales of pelagic fish and limiting the availability of those fish for sale are policies in apparent conflict. This research demonstrates, however, that effective limits on the availability of pelagic fish for export tend to complement the profitenhancing export promotion objectives of the Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC) for the Norwegian herring and mackerel industries. Assuming highly (but not perfectly) effective limits on herring and mackerel exports arising from their respective fishery management systems over the 2003 to 2018 period of analysis, NSC herring and mackerel export promotion contributed 5-7% to Norwegian herring export revenue and industry profit, respectively and 11-15% to Norwegian mackerel export revenue and industry profit, respectively. Less effective limitation on Norwegian herring and mackerel export supplies would erode the respective industry revenue and profit gains from NSC export promotion. In essence, the NSC effectively exploits the limits on herring and mackerel export availability imposed by Norwegian fishery management systems for the benefit of Norwegian herring and mackerel industries.
New Drugs for Bacillus Calmette Guérin-Unresponsive Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Authors: Jeong Jaewoon , Ha Jae Baek , Chang In Ho
Published: February 2022

For intermediate- and high-risk nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy is the standard adjuvant treatment following transurethral resection of bladder tumor. Although intravesical BCG therapy improves disease progression and bladder preservation in most patients, there are still a considerable number of BCG-unresponsive cases, for whom radical cystectomy (RC) is the recommended salvage treatment option. However, RC is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, and alternative treatment options are needed. New approaches, such as intravesical chemotherapy, device-assisted treatments, immune checkpoint inhibitors, viral gene therapy, antibody-drug conjugates, fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitors, and other novel agents are being investigated. This review aims to provide an overview of the recent trials for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC.

Authors: Ko Young Hwii , Kim Byung Hoon
Published: February 2022

Purpose: To trace the incidence of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests by the residential areas of Korea, where social awareness on prostate cancer (PCa) is limited due to the absence of a public screening.Materials and Methods: From Korean national health insurance data, the number of men older than 40 years who performed PSA testing without PCa or before the enrollment on the national registry during 2006–2016 was identified, then its association with the incidence of PCa were analyzed by a residential area categorized into metropolitan, urban, and rural area.Results: PSA testing was performed more in the metropolitan area in 2006–2008, but performed the most prevalently in the rural area since 2010. Among the 17 administrative districts, the most PSA-tested district was Jeollabuk-do (9.36%) in 2016, which was Seoul (2.85%) in 2006. The mean repetition number of PSA tests during 11 years of the study period was highest among the inhabitant of Seoul (3.25 times, p<0.0001), followed by Gwangju (2.98 times), another metropolitan city. The mean repetition number of PSA tests during the study decade was in the order of metropolitan area (2.97 times), rural area (2.83 times), and urban area (2.75 times, p<0.0001). In every year, however, the incidence of PCa was the highest in a rural area, where had the oldest mean age.Conclusions: Despite a recent increase of PSA screening and diagnosis of PCa especially in the rural area, the opportunity of repeated testing was presented more to the inhabitant of a metropolitan area.

Discriminant validity of the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS) under conditions of simulating symptoms
Authors: Oljaca Milan , Baic Valentina , Bugarski-Ignjatovic Vojislava
Published: February 2022

Background/Aim. The Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS) is a self-report measure to be used with adults, which may be utilized to assess the potential malingering of psychosis, neurologic impairment, amnesia, low intelligence, or affective disorder. The aim of the study was to examine the discriminant validity of SIMS under conditions of simulating symptoms of neurological and memory disorders, in response to a hypothetical situation, after watching a recording of an actual car accident in which a motorcycle rider sustained head injuries. Methods. The study involved 94 students (35 men and 59 women) from the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies in Belgrade and the Faculty of Medicine ? Special Education and Rehabilitation in Novi Sad, aged 20?26 [arithmetic mean = 20.69; standard deviation (SD) = 0.80], divided into two groups (n = 4 7), malingerer and control. The malingerer group was instructed to identify with the motorcycle rider hit by the car and malinger symptoms related to neurological difficulties and amnesia in order to obtain greater reimbursement from the insurance company. The control group had instructions to honestly assess the probability of occurrence of the symptoms. Results. The results of the multivariate one-way analysis of variance suggested that the effect of experimental manipulation was statistically significant [F (88, 5) = 91.21, p < 0.001; ?2p = 0.838]. Univariate effects were also statistically significant for all five scales. Participants in the malingerer group scored higher on all five scales than participants in the control group. The magnitudes of the effects support the largest differences between the malingerer and control groups on the scales of Memory Disorders and Neuro-logical Disorders, which was also the basic instruction for simulating symptoms given to the participants in the malingerer group. Conclusion. The obtained results support the discriminant validity of the SIMS questionnaire in the situation of simulating symptoms of neurological disorders and memory disorders.

Authors: Golubovic Sonja , Ilic Tatjana , Golubovic Boris , Gajic Milica , Gajic Zoran
Published: February 2022

Background/Aim. Depression, as a common comorbidity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), has been found to affect the disease diagnosis and treatment response. Accordingly, the aim of the study was to investigate the occurrence of depressive symptoms among patients with RA and the association between RA and depression. Methods. The cross-sectional study included 69 patients with RA. The depressive symptoms in patients with RA were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and RA activity was measured by Disease Activity Score-28 for RA with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) and Clinical Dis-ease Activity Index (CDAI). Results. It was found that 42% of respondents reported having depressive symptoms of different severity, among which the majority (23.2%) presented with mild symptoms. A mild positive correlation was found between the BDI and the DAS28-ESR (r = 0.39 p = 0.001), as well as between the BDI and the CDAI (r = 0.40 p = 0.001). Place of residence (t = -2.14 p = 0.03) and employment status (t = -2.81 p = 0.00) associated with depressive symptoms were also found to have statistically significant differences within the group of respondents. In addition, age had a positive correlation with the disease activity, as well as the place of residence and employment status. Conclusion. It has been observed that depressive symptoms in patients with RA were associated with disease activity, employment status, and place of residence. Therefore, there is an important need for integrating rheumatologic and mental health services for future research toward a better understanding of both depression and RA.
Successful hysteroscopic management of two cases of interstitial pregnancy
Authors: Jokanovic Predrag , Rakic Aleksandar
Published: February 2022

Introduction. Interstitial pregnancy (IP) is the rarest type of tubal pregnancy with a high rupture rate and often remains asymptomatic in the first 10?12 gestational weeks. Therefore, the timing of the diagnosis is crucial for successful management. Case report. Two patients, aged 28 and 22, were diagnosed with IP using transvaginal ultrasound. Both patients were asymptomatic, with initial serum ?hCG of 6,664 mIU/mL and 4,641 mIU/mL, respectively. Since they refused treatment with methotrexate and wanted to preserve their fertility, we performed operative hysteroscopy with resection and evacuation of the gestational tissue. The procedures were uneventful. The ?hCG levels dropped significantly, and the patients were discharged after three and four hospital days, respectively. Conclusion. Using hysteroscopic procedures, we successfully treated two asymptomatic patients with IP of gestational age < 10 weeks by ultrasonography and levels of serum ?hCG < 7,000 mIU/mL. With the occurrence of IP but also the numerous advantages of hysteroscopy, large, multicenter studies are necessary to further investigate the place of this approach as a single treatment method for IP. Trends and consequences observed during the COVID-19 pandemic correlate with the importance of timely diagnosis of ectopic pregnancies, the benefits of a minimally invasive approach in their treatment, and epidemiologically justified shorter hospital stays.

Published: February 2022

The clean water crisis began to emerge recently in the city of Bandung, especially when the water supply did not meet the needs of the residents, resulting in turmoil. Not only users and the government, but also PDAM as a provider are in trouble. Itinerant traders are also experiencing difficulties because demand continues to soar, while water sources are limited. According to Geodesy Expert from the Bandung Institute of Technology, Heri Andreas, Bandung is already experiencing a clean water crisis and currently the condition is getting worse. Without the intervention of the Government and Regional Governments in managing access to clean water, it is certain that the fate of big cities will have the potential for social conflict due to access to clean water.Springs as one of the shared water sources require management that includes mutual understanding and rules, service management and continuous maintenance. Increasing the Capacity of Kopasti to Manage Clean Water from Springs in Pasirjati Village, Ujungberung District, Bandung City through socialization, training and facilitation is expected to provide solutions faced by partners, especially with regard to opening a common understanding of the need for conservation efforts, protection of springs and management of archive administration and facilitation of work facilities.

The objective is to find out the variant anatomy of the muscles of the anterior compartment of the leg in human fetuses at 4-6 months.Material and methods. The study was performed on 28 preparations of human fetuses of 81.0-230.0 mm parietal-coccygeal length (PCL) using macro-microscopic preparation, morphometry and statistical analysis.Results. The study of the structure and topography of the muscles of the anterior compartment of the leg in 26 human fetuses at 4-6 months revealed the classic sites of origin and attachment, the typical shape, and the number of muscles. Rare variants of the muscles of the anterior compartment of the leg have been found in two fetuses.Conclusions. The individual characteristics of the muscles of the anterior compartment of the lower leg in human fetuses are variations in their structure, shape, number, place of origin, and attachment. In most of the fetuses studied, the muscles of the anterior compartment of the lower leg had a classical origin, but the length and area of attachment varied with a tendency to lengthen and expand. The fetus of 105.0 mm PCL lateral and medial heads of the tibialis anterior muscle were detected, and an additional lower head of the long extensor muscle of the fingers was observed in the fetus of 175.0 mm PCL.
A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR MINIMISING MIDDLE-INCOME HOUSING MISMATCH
Authors: Mustapa Nor Atiqah , Ali Suhaila
Published: February 2022

The housing demand of the middle-income group cannot be ignored as they are the majority of the population in Malaysia which is about 40% out of the population. However, there is a mismatch between the supply and middle-income housing demand. The developer has always been eager to develop high-end products instead of affordable housing. This circumstance leads to the insufficient supply of middle-income housing.  The mismatch is not only in terms of housing price, but also does not meet their housing preferences towards other housing attributes. Accordingly, this paper attempts to develop a conceptual framework for minimising middle-income housing mismatch. Thus, this paper reviewed the existing literature on the housing mismatch occurrences and the strategies to overcome this situation through government intervention. Almost all evidences from the studies indicate government, developer behaviour and buyer preferences have contributed to the middle-income housing mismatch occurrences. The findings were compiled through the creation of a conceptual model. Government intervention, developer behaviour and buyer preferences are included in the model as aspects that cause the housing mismatch occurrences. Significantly all these three aspects should interrelate with each other so that the potential of housing mismatch occurrences is low.
GREEN EVENT PRACTICES: UNDERSTANDING THE ADAPTATION OF EVENT ORGANISERS THROUGH A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Ramely Asmahany , Ab.Talib Mohd Fadzilillah , Rashid Radha Jasmine Zea Raziah Radha , Mokhtar Muhammad Fauzi
Published: February 2022

Scholars agreed that the events affect the economy, socio-culture, and the environment across the triple bottom line. However, the impacts across the triple bottom line are not always positive. Hence, the event organisers should implement green practices to reduce the negative impacts of the events. In the meantime, sustainable event management remains unchartered territory in event studies and the effort to systematically review the green event adaptation among event organisers is still lacking. Thus, this study supports further understanding of green event practices by focusing on published literature on green event adaptation among event organisers worldwide. For this purpose, this study conducted a systematic review using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) in four phases. This study applies a qualitative approach to uncover the focused issues related to the adaptation of green event practice. According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that published literature (journals) as one of the knowledge sources for the event organisers provides inadequate information regarding the green event practices, specifically on the adaptation of green events. Therefore, this study urged further research to include a holistic discussion or exploration of the topic. This effort can provide more information to the event organisers – but not only limited to them –, so that a better understanding regarding green event adaptation in organising their events in the future can be achieved. However, the event organisers are not the only party responsible for the green event practices. Proper action also needs to be taken to prepare the other stakeholders, facilities, resources and local authority to go green.

Published: February 2022

Tenant means a person who occupies land or property rented from a landlord, however tenants’ perceptions in renting a house have drifted into oblivion. People will be confused between renting or buying a house if they did not understand the differences between the two. So, this issue should be researched to completely comprehend the factors that influence the tenants' preferences to rent a house. The factor in preferences to rent a house is because home ownership has become inaccessible for today’s generation. This is because the majority of tenants are working adults who need to face the insurmountable employability and changing social issues affecting its investment. All the data in this research was acquired from the results of demographic analysis and 100 sets of questionnaires within quantitative standards which were conducted online through the Google Forms. The findings have been concluded after gathering all the data, which is to identify the factors in preference to rent and its chronological ranks. This was done not only to get the insight to rent versus ownership decision-making from all walks of life but also of the current market needs. This study will enable the developer and researchers to provide appropriate pricing and amenities, reduce vacant properties and also present realistic solutions such as the Rent to Own scheme, ultimately benefitting the clientele and property industry in the long run.

Authors: Wi Chin Tyng , Abdul Samad Muna Hanim
Published: February 2022

The inclusion of nature in healthcare facilities for its restorative healing benefits began earlier in ancient times but was gradually forgotten in the development of the modern hospital. In Malaysia, it is found that most of the public hospital only focused on the built environment while disregarding the green outdoor environment. There is also a dearth of studies on the implementation of healing environment through therapeutic landscape in Malaysia. This study aims to identify the healing landscapes or therapeutic landscapes in healthcare facilities that are able to heal users’ body-mind health, and to investigate the design and construction guidelines of therapeutic gardens in Malaysian healthcare facilities. This study is conducted using the qualitative method through precedent studies and case studies on healthcare facilities integrated with landscape elements as well as the quantitative method by questionnaire survey. The study has proven that patients who spend time in the courtyard garden or therapeutic garden in healthcare facilities have shorter recovery period and experience a reduction in the level of stress and anxiety. In the future, it is also to be advised to have more studies conducted on local courtyard garden in healthcare facilities in order to fulfil the basic principle of healing garden or therapeutic garden that could heal human body-mind health.

Published: February 2022

In the last three decades, the development of digital technology, and not least the Internet, has affected how we communicate, make meaning, and learn, both on an individual and on societal levels. Changes in communication patterns also coincide with increased globalization, changes in production and economic conditions. What drives what is difficult to ascertain, but all factors impact the educational system and contribute to the changing conditions for teaching and learning. Teaching nowadays involves the use and incorporation of digital technologies where learning increasingly becomes a matter of student-active participation, collaboration and sharing. Moreover, students need to be able to interpret information from a diversity of sources and media, formulate questions for this content and solve problems (Binkley et al., 2012; EU, 2017; Godhe et al., 2020). This special issue aims to showcase digital approaches to communication with the help of case studies that illuminate how text, information and multimodality in the digital age shape and influence education.

Almost anyone can also produce, edit and publish texts which have resulted in an increasing neces­sity for critical literacy in order to handle texts in digital domains. The purpose of this article is to explore how students’ critical literacy can be developed through in situ classroom activities. Grounding the study in sociocultural theories of learning and the concept of critical literacy, a design research approach was adopted, and an intervention was jointly designed by the researcher and the teachers. In focus was a class of 14-15-year-olds who were involved in activities of deconstructing a video clip from a popular teenage online series. Through interaction analysis of the classroom observations, it became evident that, by means of a step by step lesson structure, opportunities arise for increasing students’ awareness of how modes function concurrently and carry both separate and interconnected meanings. Through this process, students also discovered that different modes can be contradictory, enabling enhanced critical analysis in their making meaning of the text.

In Colombia the agricultural sector has difficulties in the integration of technologies, due to the difficulties of the topography, very characteristic in the area of Colombian mountain ranges that pass through the main agricultural departments of the country and the limitations of human capacity; the citrus harvesting process has traditionally been done by hand, employing thousands of people who do not achieve significant yields; , thus causing an increase in production costs with an impact on harvest indicators, measured in terms of quality and productivity. This study aims to determine the impact of field slope conditions on quality indicators and indicators of effectiveness, efficiency, and loss indictors, used to evaluate the productivity of the orange harvesting process in a case study in the Department of Caldas-Colombia in order to identify opportunities for process improvement. Field information was made on orange-producing farms with different land slopes classified into four categories.   Statistically significant partnerships were identified between the efficiency, efficiency and loss indicators and the field slope conditions. In addition, some of these indicators showed inverse relationships to the slope gradient. On the contrary, the quality of the fruit is not affected by the slope conditions of the land.

The increase in pollutant emissions has generated the development of clean technologies and encouraged the use of alternative fuels like syngas. Flameless combustion is one of the most promising clean technologies due to lower pollutants emissions and high thermal efficiency. In the present study, regenerative furnace simulation under flameless combustion was carried out using a fuel mixture of 70% natural gas and 30% syngas with high H2 content (in vol.); by mean of CFD approach. A symmetrical mesh with 405,632 hexahedral cells was used in the calculations. The κ-ε standard, discrete ordinates and Eddy Dissipation Concept models were used for physical phenomena of turbulence, radiation and turbulence - chemistry interaction, respectively. The combustion chambers thermal uniformity factor was 0.3 and 0.1 for vertical and horizontal planes, respectively. The results confirm that it is possible to achieve the flameless combustion regime in a regenerative furnace using the addition of syngas, preserving the temperature and reaction zone uniformity.

En este artículo se presenta una recopilación de varios trabajos de comparación de plataformas de blockchain. Para cada uno se describen los criterios de comparación usados y su énfasis. Además, se compararon dos de las plataformas de blockchain más populares: Bitcoin y Hyperledger Fabric. Con respecto a los trabajos analizados, ninguno enfatiza en las similitudes y diferencias en cuanto al flujo de una transacción, un proceso complejo en Hyperledger Fabric debido a la cantidad de conceptos y de componentes involucrados. Para facilitar la comparación, se ilustra el flujo de una transacción en las dos plataformas. Los trabajos analizados tampoco comparan las funciones de los componentes de cada plataforma, por ejemplo, de los nodos y sus diferentes tipos, ni detallan la estructura de los bloques. Además, se trató de establecer un vocabulario común entre las dos plataformas.

The use of adsorbents from wheat residues (WR), wheat cellulose (WC) and wheat cellulose (MWC) treated with Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC) was studied in the removal of tartrazine in an aqueous solution. The effect of adsorbent dose (15, 25 and 35 mg) and initial concentration (40, 70 and 100 mg/L) was evaluated. WC was obtained by double alkaline extraction, and the modification was performed with CTAC at 25 %w. Adsorption tests were performed following a multifactorial experimental design 33, placing 5 mL of solution in contact with the bioadsorbent for 24 h, at 30 °C and 250 rpm. UV-Vis determined the concentration of tartrazine at 500 nm. FTIR analysis showed that the prepared adsorbents present a diverse structure, with functional groups such as OH, carboxyl, amino and hydrocarbon compounds. Decreasing the adsorbent dose and increasing the initial concentration positively affect the removal efficiency, achieving the removal of 97.65 % with MWC. Adsorption kinetics showed that equilibrium was reached at 480 min when MWC and WC were used. The Freundlich model fitted the adsorption equilibrium data, showing that removal occurs in multilayers due to chemical interactions. CTAC-modified wheat cellulose is a good adsorbent for tartrazine in an aqueous solution.
