Изгубената памет, изгубеното по пътя: антихуманистичният скептицизъм в романа „Везни“ на Павел Вежинов
Authors: Antov Plamen
Published: October 2023

The article examines the last novel of Pavel Vezhinov–Libra (1982), which in a narrower sense also culminates the last, clearly separated period/section in the writer’s work–the philosophical-scientific one (after the novel The Barrier, 1976). Here, the novel’s fiction masks in a highly stripped-down fashion a central scientific theory, both civilizational and biological–of human evolution as devolution. Part of a larger study, the article discusses the P. Vezhinov’s radical anti-humanist criticism in the broad context of late modern philosophical skepticism (Heidegger, Deep Ecology) and its autochthonous reflections in Bulgarian literature during the second half of the twentieth century.
Carta pedagógica: um convite ao diálogo de saberes experenciados e construídos no ensino remoto emergencial
Authors: Alvariz Caroline Cruz , Behrend Danielle Monteiro , Cousin Claudia da Silva
Published: October 2023

O presente estudo parte da discussão e da análise das experiências docentes desenvolvidas no período de isolamento social, onde aconteceu o Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE) devido a pandemia da COVID-19. A alta velocidade de disseminação e capacidade de provocar mortes em populações vulneráveis, provocaram incertezas quanto a definição de estratégias a serem utilizadas para o enfrentamento da epidemia em diferentes partes do mundo. Mediante à insuficiência de conhecimentos sobre o novo coronavírus, a estratégia estabelecida no ano de 2020 foi a implementação de medidas de isolamento social, com intuito de diminuir os riscos de transmissão do vírus, inclusive para as pessoas portadoras de comorbidades, com maior risco de apresentarem quadros clínicos graves. Diante dessa perspectiva, o estudo intenta contribuir com a produção de conhecimentos para professores da Educação Básica, que ao se envolverem com a pesquisa, por meio do diálogo construído através da troca de Cartas Pedagógicas, puderam refletir na práxis a dimensão ambiental da educação e estabelecer novas bases para uma educação transformadora.

On the type constancy of some six-dimensional pla­nar submanifolds of Cayley algebra
Authors: Banaru G. A.
Published: October 2023

The notion of type constancy was introduced by Alfred Gray for nearly Kählerian manifolds and later generalized by Vadim F. Kirichenko and Irina V. Tret’yakova for all Gray — Hervella classes of almost Her­mitian manifolds. In the present note, we consider the notion of type con­stancy for some six-dimensional almost Hermitian planar submanifolds of Cayley algebra. The almost Hermitian structure on such six-dimensional submanifolds is induced by means of so-called Brown — Gray three-fold vector cross products in Cayley algebra. We select the case when six-dimensional submanifolds of Cayley algebra are locally symmetric. It is proved that six-dimensional locally symmetric submanifolds of Ricci type of Cayley algebra are almost Hermitian manifolds of zero con­stant type. This result means that six-dimensional locally symmetric sub­manifolds of Ricci type of Cayley algebra possess a property of six-dimensional Kählerian submanifolds of Cayley algebra. However, there exist non-Kählerian six-dimensional locally symmetric submanifolds of Ricci type in Cayley algebra.
Přímý vliv struktury zemědělské krajiny na výměru domovských okrsků zajíce polního: předběžné výsledky z České republiky
Authors: Ševčík Richard , Krivopalova Aleksandra , Cukor Jan
Published: October 2023

The European hare (Lepus europaeus) is one of the farmland specialists inhabiting agroecosystems. It is particularly sensitive to negative changes in agricultural management and landscape homogenization. The quality of the environment affects not only the hare population dynamics but also the behaviour of individuals, which is reflected in the variation in home range sizes. Preliminary results of the GPS telemetry monitoring in the Czech Republic revealed significant differences in the home range size of hares in high-diversified farmland (18.62 ± 4.14 ha) and conventionally managed agroecosystems (129.96 ± 55.64 ha) during the spring. These results demonstrate that the hare can thrive in a relatively small area, provided there are sufficient food sources and suitable shelter opportunities. However, increasing the biodiversity of the landscape can benefit not only the European hare but also other wildlife including protected birds and animals, which can respond to positive changes in the agroecosystem.
Výskyt a význam kůrovců rodu Pityokteines v porostech jedle bělokoré (Abies alba)
Authors: Knížek Miloš , Liška Jan , Véle Adam
Published: October 2023

Silver fir (Abies alba, Mill.) is threatened by many factors in Central Europe, among which bark beetles of the genus Pityokteines play an important role. To improve the silver fir conservation, it is essential to adopt appropriate management practices. For this reason, we studied the occurrence of Pityokteines bark beetles in four sites located in climatically different conditions. In each site, five WitaTrap 5-segment pheromone funnel traps were placed from early April to late September in both 2021 and 2022. Two species, P. spinidens and P. vorontzowi, were captured. P. vorontzowi was significantly more abundant at all sites. Individuals of both species were recorded in the traps mainly in the period of April–August. The most abundant occurrence of beetles was at the site Nižbor, which can be explained by regional climatic differences (lowest elevation, higher mean temperatures and lower mean precipitation). The differences between sites can be also explained by different methods of forest protection applied. The study confirmed the presence of Pityokteines bark beetles and their dependence on climatic characteristics and forest management.
Intenzita transpirace přípravného porostu břízy bělokoré (Betula pendula Roth) ve srovnání se stejnorodým a stejnověkým porostem smrku ztepilého (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) V růstové fázi tyčkovin
Authors: Bednář Pavel , Řehořková Štěpánka
Published: October 2023

Two different forest types at the pole stand growing stage were compared regarding their transpiration during the peak of the growing season: a pure, artificially established even-aged Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) pole stand and a pure, naturally regenerated silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) preparatory pole stand. Both sites were comparable, as evidenced by the non-significant differences between daily averages of potential evapotranspiration on both sites. Both forest stands had been managed in the past and were reduced to 1,800 and 900 trees/ha for Norway spruce and silver birch, respectively. The forest transpiration of the silver birch preparatory pole stand was significantly higher than that of the Norway spruce pole stand, representing a transpiration rate over 1.4 times higher. Over a 56-day period, the cumulative transpiration was 127 mm for the silver birch stand and 90 mm for the Norway spruce stand. When transpiration was correlated to the potential of transpiration for particular sites, it was found that the portion was over 71% for silver birch and 42% for Norway spruce stand, respectively. Significant correlation of transpiration with the potential of evapotranspiration was established for both forest types, with this relationship being more distinct for the Norway spruce stand, indicating that its transpiration rate is more under control.
The impact of intellectual capital efficiency on bank risk in Vietnam
Authors:   Banking Academy of Vietnam, Bùi Huy Trung , Trần Thị Thu Nga , Nguyễn Yến Nhi , Dương Thị Yến , Nguyễn Thị Thu Trang
Published: October 2023

This paper aims to analyze the impact of intellectual capital efficiency on the risk of Vietnamese commercial banks. Drawing on a research sample of 13 Vietnamese commercial banks during the period 2010- 2021, the authors use the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) to investigate the impact of variables reflecting the intellectual capital efficiency, including the efficiency of human capital- HCE, capital employed- CEE and capital structure- SCE, to the risk of commercial banks (measured by Z-score and nonperforming loan ratio- NPL). The results show that higher intellectual capital efficiency leads to higher risk (measured by Z- score) and lower credit risk. These findings have important implications on the regulation of the banking system in general as well as on improving the effectiveness of risk management of commercial banks in particular.
Gelişmekte Olan Ülkelerde Enerji Verimliliği ve Geri Tepme Etkisinin Analizi
Authors: KAVAZ İsmail
Published: October 2023

Bu çalışmada, 1989’dan 2018’e kadar olan dönem için iki stokastik sınır analizi yaklaşımı kullanılarak Afrika, Avrasya ve Ortadoğu bölgelerinde bulunan seçili 17 gelişmekte olan ülkenin göreceli toplam enerji verimliliğini araştırılmaktadır. Söz konusu sınır testlerinden ilkinde enerji talep fonksiyonu benimsenirken ikincisinde ise girdi mesafesi yaklaşımı kullanılmaktadır. İki aşamalı dinamik panel veri yaklaşımı kullanılarak paneldeki her ülke için hem enerji verimliliği performansı hem de geri tepme etkisi (Rebound Effect) karşılaştırmalı olarak tahmin edilmektedir. Analizden elde edilen bulgular, incelenen ülke grubundaki ortalama verimlilik skorunun yaklaşık %84 olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, hesaplanan ortalama geri tepme etkisinin, kısa vadede verimlilik iyileştirmelerinden elde edilen enerji tasarruflarının %50’sinden fazlasını bertaraf edebileceği yönündedir. Bu sonuçlar aslında gelişmekte olan ekonomilerde enerji talebini azaltmak için enerji verimliliğine ilişkin dikkate değer potansiyeli vurgulamaktadır.

Compressible convection in cartesian coordinates with Underworld3
Authors: Graciosa Juan Carlos
Published: October 2023

Introduction and benchmarking The convection of the Earth’s mantle is usually modelled as an incompressible process, referred to as the Boussinesq approximation. However, in the Earth’s mantle, the pressure increase associated with depth also increases the density due to self-compression (King et al. 2010). In some applications, this compressibility may be non-negligible and modelling it may be desirable.

The influence of global, regional, and continental international trade organizations on the economy and development of countries
Authors: Šaćirović Dženis
Published: October 2023

International and regional trade organizations have a significant impact on the economy and development of their member countries. Such organizations promote free trade and strengthen trade relationships between members, which can lead to economic growth, improved competitiveness, and job creation. International trade organizations, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), allow members to resolve trade disputes, protect their trade interests, and strengthen trade rules. This can result in greater stability and predictability in trade relationships between members, ultimately driving economic growth. Regional trade organizations, such as the European Union, North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), or ASEAN, also have a positive impact on the economy and development. They enable members to enter into trade agreements and strengthen trade relationships between members, leading to increased trade exchange and economic growth. However, trade organizations also have negative impacts, such as trade restrictions between members and the strengthening of market dominance by dominant members. It is therefore important to regularly monitor and adjust trade organizations to ensure that their impact on the economy and development is as positive as possible.

Authors: Momčilović Oliver , Ivanović Slobodan , Vukoja Marija
Published: October 2023

Today, entrepreneurship is recognized as a basic element of economic growth and development. In recent years, there has been a development of female entrepreneurship, due to the increasing interest of women in this sphere of business. Women's entrepreneurship today attracts a lot of attention because, in addition to contributing to the creation of jobs and the economic growth of the country, women's entrepreneurship is recognized as a source of competitive advantage and increasing entrepreneurial diversity. Since there are more and more women who decide to start their businesses, the topic of this paper is the analysis of the influence of motivation, communication, and education on the development of female entrepreneurship in the Republic of Croatia.

Published: October 2023

This study aimed to rank the factors affecting regional competitiveness in industrial clusters of equipment for oil, gas, and petrochemicals in Iran. The research was descriptive-analytical in terms of methodology. In addition, data were collected using questionnaires, whose reliability and validity was confirmed. Moreover, data analysis was performed in SPSS and LISREL. According to the results, the factors affecting regional competitiveness increase were classified into four categories of spatial-geographical relations, institutional-organizational relations, economic relations, and social relations. Therefore, improving the industrial cluster's performance will directly help the oil industry achieve its localization and self-efficiency goals, especially in terms of the supply of equipment. On the other hand, this issue had a significant effect on the development of various economic, social, educational, and employment aspects in oil, gas, and petrochemical regionals.
Taxation of freelancers in selected countries before and during the pandemic of the virus COVID-19
Authors: Kovinić Nikola
Published: October 2023

With the emergence of the COVID-19 virus pandemic, a new type of work engagement is coming to the fore, which implies remote work, i.e. work from home. This type of employment is known as freelancing. This document will present the taxation of freelancers in the Republic of Serbia, the Republic of Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina before and during the COVID-19 virus pandemic. The document will present all taxation models in detail, as well as their shortcomings and recommendations for improvement. From the analysis, we can see how the Republic of Croatia, as a member of the European Union, defined the legal status of these workers, and how it was done by the Republic of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are not members of the European Union, but which are gradually adapting their legislation to the European Union. The assumption is that during the analyzed period, the number of freelancers in these countries increased significantly, primarily due to the measures adopted to prevent the spread of the COVID19 virus pandemic. This paper should also point out the importance that freelancers have for all countries in terms of generating income based on their taxation.
The analysis of The Global Index of Innovation of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Ćosić Miilivoje , Tomić Ljiljana , Mesarević Aleksandra
Published: October 2023

In modern business conditions most countries of the world have increasingly been adopting policies and strategies that encourage innovation, because they have realized that without systematically encouraging the development of innovation there is no global competitiveness. The Global Innovation Index (GII) is the index which measures the achieved level of innovation of certain countries, based on two sub-indices: the Index of Innovation Inputs and the Index of Innovation Outputs. Both sub-indices include certain pillars, so that the Index of Innovation Inputs includes five pillars, while the Index of Innovation Outputs includes two pillars. This paper analyzes the ranking results of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina according to the global Innovation Index, which is published every year by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), as well as all the pillars of the Global Innovation Index for both countries.
Skrining of developmental disorders in children By using the standardized questionnaires "Ages & Stages questionnaires" (ASQ-3)
Authors: Makević-Đurić Mirjana , Đurić Milivoje
Published: October 2023

Introduction/Aim: By introducing a questionnaire for screening developmental disabilities in early childhood, developmental delay would be detected in time thus enabling prompt intervention. The standardized questionnaire "Ages and Stages Questionnaire" (ASQ-3) has been used for more than 30 years all over the world, and in Serbia it was standardized under the name "Uzrasti i razvoj deteta" (URD). The aim of our study was to identify children with developmental disabilities in early childhood using the standardized ASQ-3 questionnaire in primary pediatric practice, so that the appropriate treatment would be started on time. Methods: This study included 31 subjects aged 9-36 months. The subjects were divided into age groups and the standardized ASQ-3 questionnaire was used for each child. The obtained data were analyzed with the help of a computer program for statistical analysis of data (SPSS, version 20), and the methods of descriptive statistics were used. Results: The obtained results showed that 71% of the subjects suffered from developmental disorders, which demanded additional learning activities or further diagnostics. In 45.2% of the subjects, deviations from normal development were discovered in at least one of the examined areas, which demanded additional learning activities and further monitoring of children (that is, they had results in the grey zone), and in 25.8% of the subjects, deviations demanded consultations with experts for further assessment and treatment (that is, they had results in the black zone). Conclusion: The introduction of standardized ASQ-3 questionnaires as a mandatory clinical instrument in primary pediatric practice would enable early recognition of children with deviations from normative development, when early stimulation of development would begin, and the need for re-evaluation, supplementary diagnostics and early intervention support would be established.
Assessment of various kinesiotherapy treatment approaches in reducing postoperative pain in patients with knee joint arthroplasty
Authors: Bardak Milica
Published: October 2023

The aim of this review is to analyze various kinesiotherapy treatment approaches in reducing postoperative pain in patients with knee joint arthroplasty. Knee osteoarthritis often causes pain and reduced mobility, which can be alleviated by total knee joint arthroplasty. Based on previous research, it is observed that preoperative strength training improves functionality and range of motion one to three months after surgery. Some studies indicate that rehabilitation, which includes preoperative strength training, results in decreased pain in patients with total knee joint arthroplasty. Also, some studies suggest an increase in pain intensity 9 days after surgery, which gradually decreases in the following days. Gender, BMI, and knee deformity are associated with higher postoperative pain intensity. Although preoperative strength training has a positive impact on functional recovery and range of motion, its effect on reducing postoperative pain requires further investigation. Previous research highlights the need for personalized rehabilitation approaches for patients undergoing total knee joint arthroplasty, taking into account the complexity of pain and various risk factors for postoperative pain occurrence. The development of personalized rehabilitation protocols may provide significantly better recovery outcomes for patients after total knee joint arthroplasty compared to traditional standard approaches.
On possible forms of expounding philosophy
Authors: Radovanović Biljana
Published: October 2023

This paper deals with the analysis of various ways of expounding philosophical content. We start by distinguishing between oral and written methods of presenting philosophical knowledge and then proceed to categorize philosophical texts based on the criterion of exposition. In the central part of the paper, we analyze the fundamental philosophical-scientific forms of expounding philosophical content: prolegomena, treatises, essays, meditations, aphorisms, autobiographies, letters, etc. The goal of this paper is to emphasize the connection between scientific forms and specific philosophical content, as well as the close correlation between the form of exposition and the purpose of a particular text. In the concluding chapter, we address the question: What allows philosophical content to be expounded in various ways? In answering this question, we highlight an important characteristic of philosophy that makes it more akin to art than to science.
The association between psychological inflexibility and mental health during the third wave of COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Barzut Vesna , Blanuša Jelena , Knežević Jasmina , Marinković Gordana
Published: October 2023

This study aimed to compare the psychological functioning of people with different experiences with coronavirus infection in the second year of the pandemic (February-June 2021) and to explore the role of psychological inflexibility in the experienced level of distress. A total of 860 people (753 females, 429 COVID-19 convalescents) participated in this study. Results showed that people who experienced the hospitalization of a loved one reported higher levels of stress. On the other hand, people who had recovered from COVID-19 infections showed higher levels of anxiety but, interestingly, lower levels of stress compared to those who had not been infected with the coronavirus. Sequential mediation analysis revealed that psychological inflexibility had both direct and indirect effects on general distress, with the latter occurring via fatigue and subjective well-being. This study provided additional support for the importance of psychological flexibility in mental health, even during adverse times such as COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: October 2023

This paper demonstrates the importance of forensic entomology in criminal investigations and points to post-mortem interval estimation, procedures at the death scene, which are important for entomological research. The focus of the paper is on entomotoxicology, that is, how entomotoxicology can help determine the presence of toxins in the body at the time of death when this is not possible by means of traditional methods. The paper also demonstrates how insects can contribute to the discovery of mass graves and provide information that can help prove war crimes.
Propeller Diameter Difference and Its Impact on Propulsion Performance on Actual Sea Conditions
Authors: Mitsuoka Kei , Matsuka Takao , Okada Yoshihisa , Sato Yoshiko , Takeda Seiji , Toyokawa Takeshi
Published: October 2023

When considering the propulsion performance of a ship, one of the most important factors is the propeller design. Generally, it has been known that propulsion efficiency is greater if a propeller has a larger diameter and low propeller shaft speed. However, it is equally important to maintain sufficient distance between the hull and the propeller, known as ‘propeller clearance’, to mitigate fluctuation pressure and the potential for inducing severe hull vibrations. Therefore, propeller designers must consider the propeller clearance while sizing a propeller. KITANIHON SHIPBUILDING CO., LTD is producing 27 chemical tankers of 19,950DWT, using three kinds of propellers with different propeller diameters. Each kind of propeller is similar in geometry except for the diameter. The sea trial results will demonstrate how the propeller diameter affects the ship’s performance. The wave conditions were not ideal during the sea trials, hence the investigation on the performance of propellers requires highly accurate hydrographic data. The authors have analyzed the sea trial data using values from ‘wave hindcast database’ which is reanalyzed historical database from the Japan Weather Association (referred to as JWA) and the authors examined the influence of propeller diameters on performance.
The Effect of In-Tolerance Leading-Edge Defects on Cavitation of a Propeller Section in the Rectilinear Flow
Authors: Gospodnetic S. (Bodo) , Pedišic-Buca Marta , Goleš Sanja , Tasic Jadranka
Published: October 2023

The performance of a representative 2D propeller section was investigated in rectilinear flow to determine the impact of small in-tolerance leading-edge defects on cavitation. A DTMB Mod NACA-66 blade section with 4% thickness and 1.4% camber was taken as representative of a blade section where leading-edge sheet cavitation might be expected. Composite models (1 m chord by 0.525 m span) comprising a perfect and defective section with a leading-edge defect were tested in the cavitation tunnel with a 1 m x 1 m cross-section measurement section. Cavitation inception was observed visually on models of the perfect and defective sections. Leading-edge defects of 0.5 mm and 0.25 mm were investigated. These defects were shown to affect cavitation inception significantly and detrimentally.

The paper discusses the methodology for and performance improvements gained using the patent pending 100 Bond® Laser Babbitting Process developed by Wartsila Shaft Line Solutions. This process is currently being used at the Wartsila Iberica facility for commercial Line Shaft and Thrust Bearings. The discussion covers various testing that has been performed including testing that was 2188 for ASTM B23 Grade 2 Babbitt in accordance with DOD-STD-2183.

Fatigue, hardness and bond strength are all improved from the refined microstructure of the babbitting material. The automated process eliminates the various chemicals used in traditional babbitt casting as well as the handling of molten babbitt providing significant reduction of the environmental concerns, health & safety risks and quality control issues. Together these benefits allow for improved bearing repairability, ability to produce more complex bearing shell geometries on a wide variety of base metals, and overall improvement of the hydrodynamic bearing performance.
O uso de algemas e a inversão do ônus
Authors: Nacfur Anis
Published: October 2023

Trata-se de artigo técnico que visa à discussão sobre a jurisprudência firmada para o tema: uso de algemas, corporificada com a edição da súmula vinculante número 11. O núcleo do texto pretende guerrear o referido sumulado e sugere, por fim, como decorrência única para a necessária reforma dos equívocos cometidos: o cancelamento da súmula. Para tanto, aborda elementos jurídicos: materiais e processuais, e técnicos policiais afrontados diretamente na produção do ato, os quais se observados afastariam, desde a origem, a viabilidade jurídica de edição da súmula em comento. Adentra, ainda, em demanda judicial corrente na Suprema Corte, de iniciativa de confederação de trabalhadores policiais, cujo objeto é a revisão da jurisprudência em referência. Excelentíssimo Procurador Geral da República, em parecer técnico constante no processo de cancelamento da súmula, corrobora ao entendimento exposto no presente trabalho e se manifesta explicitamente pelo cancelamento imediato da nefasta súmula 11 do Egrégio Supremo Tribunal Federal.

O discurso contemporâneo acerca dos direitos humanos são bastante difundido. O teor do seu conteúdo consagra valores que professam a realização dos ideais de toda a humanidade, prometendo a plena emancipação do ser. Todavia, o momento de plenitude dos direitos humanos inaugurado com a hegemonia estadunidense no plano internacional tem suscitado tanto questionamentos sobre a sua eficâcia quanto críticas em relação a  apropriação de seu conteúdo restrito, casa sempre, ao campo epistémico do direito positivo.

Published: October 2023

O trabalho buscou aferir o impacto das atividades do Conselho Comunitário de Segurança (CONSEG) nas ações de planejamento dos segmentos do Sistema de Segurança Pública no Distrito Federal que atuam em São Sebastião. Para tanto, a pesquisa desenvolveu-se em três vertentes: legislação, literatura e entrevistas. O estudo apontou que a estrutura estudada contribuía apenas com informações para os órgãos de segurança da cidade, sem, contudo, participar decisoriamente das decisões tomadas pelos segmentos. Espera-se, assim, contribuir-se com a produção de conhecimento quando o assunto é a parceria entre o Estado e a Sociedade.

Published: October 2023

O objetivo deste estudo de métodos mistos concomitantes, é examinar as realidades sociais de mulheres e homens nos diferentes postos, procurando identificar quais camadas da sociedade, nos últimos 30 (trinta) anos, foram atraídas para ingressar nos cursos de formação de oficiais das Forças Militares, em especial nas Forças Armadas e se estes militares experimentaram mudanças de classes sociais. A metodologia adotada comportou pesquisa bibliográfica e documental com procedimentos comparativos. Houve investigação de campo com entrevistas e questionários aplicados aos Estagiários do Curso de Altos Estudos de Política e Estratégia – CAEPE 2013, e ao corpo permanente da Escola Superior de Guerra – ESG, no Campus do Rio de Janeiro e a alguns de seus respectivos palestrantes. Conclui aquilatando a importante função de mobilidade social que as Instituições Militares possuem no contexto nacional apesar da paradoxal elevada taxa de evasão existente entre os oficiais. Identifica também os motivos de evasão.
O Papel institucional e estratégico da capelania Militar

Published: October 2023

Estudos sobre a Espiritualidade no Ambiente de Trabalho revelam que atividades como as realizadas pela Capelania Militar cooperam significativamente com os resultados pretendidos pelas organizações. Para se identificar possíveis contribuições da Capelania Militar para a Corporação - PMDF foi traçada uma correlação entre três fontes: 1ª) estudos nas áreas de Administração, Espiritualidade no Ambiente de Trabalho e Capelania; 2ª) a Portaria PMDF nº 790, que dispõe sobre o Serviço de Assistência Religiosa na Corporação e 3ª) o Plano Estratégico da PMDF / 2011-2022. Como fruto dessa investigação, verificou-se que a Capelania Militar vai muito além da mera reprodução da prática religiosa exercida no meio civil, pois esta exerce, direta e/ou transversalmente, um papel institucional e estratégico relevante para a Corporação, especialmente no que se refere à gestão de pessoas (cultura organizacional, valores, motivação e qualidade de vida), à gestão da imagem da instituição e à difusão de sua filosofia de ação.
A expectativa de vida do policial militar: uma comparação com a população geral

Published: October 2023

Esse artigo científico objetiva o cálculo do tempo de vida médio do policial militar do Paraná e também de sua expectativa de vida, relativa ao ano de 2014 (visando comparação com o estudo do IBGE do mesmo ano). O método estatístico foi utilizado para o cálculo do tempo de vida médio, com os dados de todos os falecimentos de policiais militares do Paraná, do serviço ativo e aposentados, registrados entre 2012 e 2016; o método revisto de Chiang (Chiang II) foi utilizado para o cálculo da expectativa de vida. As conclusões mostram que o tempo de vida médio do policial militar do Paraná é de 66,3 anos e que o soldado policial-militar, o trabalhador de menor hierarquia, tem o menor tempo médio de vida: 61,9 anos. Além disso, há uma diferença de aproximadamente 10 anos e meio no tempo médio de vida entre os que faleceram como oficiais (75,7) e os que faleceram como praças (65,3). Existe também correlação linear (r = 0,857) entre a graduação do praça e seu tempo médio de vida: quanto maior o grau hierárquico, maior o tempo médio de vida. Esta mesma correlação não foi encontrada entre os Oficiais. Quanto à expectativa de vida, o policial militar ingressa na PMPR com uma maior expectativa e ao longo do tempo ela cai para níveis abaixo da população brasileira. Para os soldados, no entanto, a expectativa de vida é menor que a do brasileiro para todas as faixa etárias, em média 3 anos a menos (-2,98 ± 1,73; IC=95%), chegando a 4,3 anos a menos na última faixa etária analisada (80-84).

Published: October 2023

This research approaches the phase of the iteration of the criminals from the perspective of the Theory of the Behavior Planned aiming at the understanding of the criminal mind and its reflexes in the public safety. Such an approach is justified professionally because this study may allow greater efforts to be employed in the following areas: qualified criminal prevention; Strategies and management of public security; Criminal analysis, negotiation; Crisis management and; Police doctrine. As far as academic relevance is concerned, it is intended to open a new frontier within criminal prevention, since other studies in this field were not unveiled, involving this subject with the knowledge of social psychology, law and environmental criminology. The object of this research is to answer the question about the applications of the Theory of Planned Behavior before the phase of the iteration of criminals and the reflexes in public security. This purpose will be reached through bibliographical sources, going through a review of the literature, doctrine, legislation and documents. This research constitutes an original scientific work and a qualitative research, with exploratory objectives and technical procedures of bibliographical research, through the deductive method. The study showed that the Theory of Planned Behavior can contribute to a better understanding of the criminal mind and the stages that make up the Iter Criminis cogitation phase. And so, this research will favor the prioritization of qualified crime prevention.

This article addresses the matter of Education inside the Military Police of the Federal District (PMDF) under the aspect of schooling. It aims to undertake an analysis of the several changes regarding the educational level required for joining the force, the internal training process dedicated to the candidates and their professional conduct after graduation. The analysis is based on military arrest procedures accomplished by the Control and Correctness Department of the force. Society demands the police activity to be adequate to the law, what reinforces the people claim for a kind of safety conquered by a citizen police. That’s the reason why it’s necessary to establish a parameter between these two factors: the admission with higher education levels and the correct practice of police activity after graduation on the training process. The objective is to identify the relation between the modification of the education level required for joining the force and the quantitative variation in the number of military arrest procedures issued by the internal corrections unit of the institution. This work is based on bibliographical revision on the military criminal field and on the history of teaching and internal control inside the Military Police of the Federal District as well as on a field research undertaken on the force’s Department of Personal Management and Control and Correctness Department. The research proves that, after the insertion of the requisition of an undergraduate degree, there has been a severe reduction on the numbers of military arrest procedures issued by the police. Because of this variable, it’s possible to identify the relation between schooling and the committing of military crimes.
