A advocacia pública como intérprete constitucional
Authors: Limberger Têmis , Rodrigues Vinícius Dos Santos
Published: August 2022

O presente estudo busca investigar as potencialidades da Advocacia Pública como intérprete constitucional e como sujeito ativo na concretização de direitos fundamentais. Partindo do advento das Constituições como eixo de validade do ordenamento jurídico e da crescente judicialização a que esse novo paradigma conduziu, aborda algumas das críticas a esse fenômeno, tais como a baixa eficiência do sistema em relação aos investimentos adotados e o possível déficit democrático dessas intervenções. Diante desse panorama, o trabalho se propõe a revisitar o tema da Jurisdição Constitucional e a necessidade de sua abertura, resgatando, após essas considerações, a Advocacia Pública como intérprete constitucional, por meio de uma breve incursão histórica no mundo e no Brasil e ressignificando a sua inclusão como Função Essencial à Justiça na Constituição Federal de 1988. Desvelando a sua relação com o Poder Executivo e sua missão de defesa do Estado e da sociedade, apresenta, por fim, a figura dos advogados públicos como possíveis intérpretes constitucionais e materializadores dos direitos fundamentais, por meio do exercício hermeneuticamente fundamentado e estruturalmente autônomo do poder que lhes foi constitucionalmente atribuído.

Hepatitis: Screening and Preventive Measures
Authors: Naveed Asif
Published: August 2022

A significant public health issue around the world is viral hepatitis, which is brought on by infection with one of the hepatitis viruses. Reviewing the information that is currently available suggests that the South-East Asia Region has a high prevalence of infection with hepatitis viruses A–E. Hepatitis A virus seroprevalence rates are high among enterically transmitted viruses in the majority of the Region's countries, albeit they have recently decreased. Hepatitis A clinical cases, particularly severe forms of the disease, have increased as a result of the rise in the average age at first exposure. Hepatitis A vaccination is available, however it has not yet been used in the Region as a public health precaution. Hepatitis E virus infection is extremely prevalent in many nations, where it frequently leads to waterborne epidemics and accounts for about half of all cases of acute viral hepatitis.
The risk of these illnesses increases with rapid urbanization's lack of access to clean, safe drinking water, nutritious food, and adequate sanitation. Hepatitis B infection rates among bloodborne hepatitis viruses range from low, intermediate, and high among different nations in the region. Either of these viruses can cause persistent infection. Although frequently asymptomatic, persistent infection with these viruses can cause the development of cirrhosis and liver cancer, which are major causes of death in the region. These infections are especially prevalent in some particular population groups, including as intravenous drug users, those who have received blood transfusions, and people who are immunosuppressed. Additionally, certain regions do not screen blood and blood products for substances that cause viral hepatitis. As a result, acute and chronic hepatitis caused by hepatitis virus infection account for a large portion of the disease burden in the South-East Asia Region and cause over 500 000 fatalities there each year. We can lessen our risk of contracting hepatitis in a variety of ways, including by getting vaccinated against hepatitis A and B, using condoms during sexual contact, not sharing needles when using drugs, maintaining good personal hygiene by thoroughly washing our hands with soap and water, refraining from using infected people's personal items, and exercising caution when visiting places with poor sanitation.

Published: August 2022

Oil as an international strategic commodity, its prices have gone through many changes and developments historically in the oil markets since the beginning of its circulation until now, which has been reflected on the economic, political and social conditions...etc. in the countries of the world. Therefore, countries are interested in how to price it in international markets. This research deals with a theoretical analysis of the historical development of oil prices and the stages of its pricing for the period 18592020- AD. The research aims to show the role of international oil companies and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in its pricing, and the researchers reached many results, the most important of which are: that oil prices have undergone many changes since the beginning until now And the pricing process of crude oil in its early stages depended on the declared prices due to the complete control of the international oil companies over the oil industry Oil prices and how they are priced have taken on a monopolistic character, while the producing countries did not have any role in determining its prices until the beginning of the seventies of the last century as a result of its monopoly by the major international oil companies. The establishment of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its interference in the oil market helped reduction the dominance of the international oil companies that monopolize the oil market.

Authors: Kamal Mawlood Shnya , Ismael Qader Ahmed
Published: August 2022

Military expenditures in Iraq constitute a large proportion of public expenditures and are considered one of the factors of the financial deficit. However, they did not contribute positively to economic growth, which caused the misallocation of economic resources and the failure to exploit them in an efficient manner. The basic hypothesis of the study is that there is an inverse relationship between military expenditures and the economic growth in Iraq, and in order to achieve the aim of the study and verify its hypothesis the standard method of practical aspect using the model of ARDL is adopted, taking military expenditures, investment expenditures, the war of ISIS as independent variables, and economic growth as a dependent variable. The study has reached several important conclusions, most notably is the existence of a reverse relationship between military expenditures and economic growth as an increase in military expenditures by 1 percent leads to a reduction in GDP by (- 0.13- percent). In light of this, several recommendations have been made. The most important of which is the need to reduce military operational expenditures by reducing military forces, especially informal forces (military militias) as well as reducing corruption in the military sector, which drains large amounts of government budget.

This discussion paper is going to present the efforts to manage the tolerance of the inter-faith, including also how a precise trategy is related to the relationship between the religions and the state. Is the relationship between the religions and the state in Indonesia linked closely with any radical secularism such as in France or Indonesia that has a version of secularism itself? The writer will discuss the question by elaborating on the relationship between the religions and the state according to Pancasila. The type of secularism that is suitable and ideal for Indonesia is the one that nuances a separation of the religions and the state that is in the rigor version of liberal democracy, cannot be absolutely applied in Indonesia. The reason is that Indonesia has a wealth of culture that affecs the different way of view and reception against secularism. Even some thinkers argue that the acceptance of Indonesia against secularism can be one of the new examples/alternatives in which that the reception against secularism does not mean to be standing on the preconditions for a la western like democracy, liberalism, etc,. The issue is how to translate the values of cultural religious are to be matched with the values of the secular with the consideration that Indonesia still maintain the condition of ethnocentrism.

Published: August 2022

The study investigated the effect of numbered heads together cooperative instructional strategy (NHT) on secondary school students’ interest in biology in Awka Education Zone. Two research questions and three null hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance guided the study. The study is quasi-experimental research, adopting specifically the pretest posttest non-randomized control group of 2x2 factorial research design. 4755 senior secondary year two (SS2) students constituted the population. Multi-stage sampling procedure was employed to compose the sample size of 64 (21 males and 43 females) SS2 students. The sampled students who were in two intact classes were randomly assigned to experimental (23 girls and 10 boys) and control (20 girls and 11 boys) groups using a flip of a coin. A 20-item Biology students interest scale (BSIS), with five response options, developed by the researchers was used for data collection. The biology students interest scale was validated by three experts and with reliability index of 0.77 established using Cronbach alpha. Students in the experimental group was taught selected concepts in biology using NHT while those in the control group was taught the same concepts using Conventional Lecture Method (CLM). Mean and Standard deviation were used in answering the research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The findings of the study revealed that NHT is more effective in fostering students’ interest in biology than CLM. Gender had no significant influence on students’ interest in biology. Also, there was no interaction effect of teaching methods and gender on students’ interest in biology. The study therefore concluded that NHT is a gender friendly approach that fosters students’ interest in biology as it involves the group working together and every member of the team taking accountability of the group. Based on the findings, recommendations were made among which include that NHT should be adopted by biology teachers in schools to foster students’ interest in biology.
The Influence of Piaget in the Field of Learning Science
Authors: Zhang Jianing
Published: August 2022

As the most influential figure in the field of learning science, Piaget’s research on children's concepts and consciousness, his concept of 'Piagetian education', his contribution to constructivism have been greatly adopted in education. However, the weaknesses of his work have been criticised by many scholars. This paper illustrates how Piaget’s work has challenged traditional educational approach regarded as instructionism and the differences between Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s theories. This paper also discusses and compares the theories proposed by a number of other researchers based on Piaget's constructivism, including Papert's constructionism and his theory of children's use of computers; Lave's situated learning, and Wells' theory of group learning.

Published: August 2022

This study forecasts the oil volatility index (OVX) incorporating information from other implied volatility (IV) indices. We provide evidence for the existence of long memory in the OVX in order to justify the use of the Heterogeneous AutoRegressive (HAR) model. We extend the HAR model by implementing a dynamic model averaging (DMA) method in order to allow for IV indices from other asset classes to be applicable at different time periods. Apart from the statistical evaluation, a straddle options trading strategy validates our results from an economic point of view. The IV of Dow Jones is highly significant for short- and mid-run forecasting horizons, whereas, at longer horizons, the IV of Energy Sector provides accurate forecasts but only from an economic point of view.
Non-Performing Loans: Endogenous Constraint on the Credit–Growth Nexus

Published: August 2022

This study explores the possibility of a lag in the transmission of credit channeling and non-performing loans to economic growth in Indonesia. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model was applied to yearly data from 2003 to 2020 and endogenous constraint (EC) was used as a dynamic indicator of credit channeling and non-performance on growth. The model shows that economic growth in Indonesia is positively and significantly affected by credit channeling in years t-1 and t-3; meanwhile, non-performing loans in the current year (year t) suppress the growth. Therefore, from the perspective of the crisis phase, the first step that the monetary and fiscal authorities need to take is to tackle the increase in non-performing loans. It was also concluded that the endogenous constraint (EC) score can be used as a leading dynamic indicator in monetary and fiscal policy during the prosperity phase but is inefficient during a crisis.

Published: August 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted most businesses worldwide. Sustainability management by involving Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria is increasingly a focus of business stakeholders. This study explores the return and risk performance of 98 companies listed in the Thailand Sustainability Investment (THSI) strategy that adopted ESG measures during the COVID-19 outbreak. The regression analysis is also applied to examine the impacts of ESG pillar scores on stock returns from 2015–2021. The empirical results support the positive impact of ESG adoption to stock performance, even during the risks brought by the pandemic. Environmental and governance pillars have a statistically positive affect on stock returns, while the social pillar scores have no impact on return generating. The findings confirm the importance of sustainable development as the center of business’s strategies to cope with emerging risk and to generate better stock performance.

Labor migration is usually considered as economically benefiting the household family members who are left behind through remittances. The extent of migration and remittances have shown significant growth however the empirical evidence on the casual impact of migration on economic status and wellbeing of those who are left behind is not well documented at the regional level in Pakistan. The study aimed to assess the impact of regional remittance flow on household economic status and wellbeing by using propensity score matching (PSM) technique. The first approach is to develop Multidimensional Poverty Index and second to show how pattern of inter and intra-provincial and regional remittances flow decreases the probability of poverty and affects the household wellbeing. For the analysis, the study utilized the nationally representative Pakistan Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) 2013–2014. The results of the analysis lead to the conclusion that internal labor mobility occurs because of poverty, instead of benefitting the households who are left behind further had dragged them into risk of poverty. The poor individuals moving to urban or other areas in search of job opportunities had not been able to support themselves in new areas but also had failed to support their family back at home.
Trade Liberalization and Economic Growth: A Cross-Country Study using Updated Sachs-Warner Index
Authors: Siddika Rahnuma , Ahmad Sibbir
Published: August 2022

The relationship between trade liberalization and economic growth is a hotly contested issue. Some studies claim a positive impact while others oppose it. This study uses updated data to generate new evidence for the debate. Using a dynamic panel framework and the Sachs-Warner indicator of liberalization, this study finds that trade liberalization does appear to impact growth. The evidence this study generated points to the advocacy for trade liberalization and extending trade volume supporting the view of classical economists. This study revisits the linkage between trade openness and growth through an updated empirical analysis. This paper presents an updated dataset of openness indicators and trade liberalization dates for countries from 1990 to 2010. It finds new evidence on the time paths of economic growth, physical capital investment, and openness around episodes of trade policy liberalization. Using the updated Sachs-Warner index, the study shows that trade liberalization positively affects economic growth.
Análise numérica e experimental da medição da impedância acústica e absorção sonora utilizando a técnica in situ com dois microfones

Published: August 2022

Impedância acústica e absorção sonora são parâmetros importantes para diversas áreas da Engenharia Acústica, como: Acústica de Salas, Controle de Ruído, Auralização e Eletroacústica. Assim, a medição com precisão e exatidão da impedância acústica de materiais se faz necessária. Neste trabalho, o método de medição in situ de absorção sonora e impedância acústica que utiliza dois microfones (Sistema PP) é descrito. Em seguida, dois modelos para de dedução da impedância de superfície são apresentados, são eles: modelo PWA e algoritmo q-term. Um modelo utilizando o Método dos Elementos Finitos (FEM - Finite Element Method) é proposto e uma análise a partir dele é feita. Através do modelo FEM foi possível demonstrar a convergência do algoritmo q-term para amostras localmente reativas e a divergência do modelo PWA para baixas frequências. Também através do modelo FEM uma análise de amostras finitas de superfícies circulares foi feita. O erro devido às pequenas dimensões da amostra foi identificado, uma estratégia baseada na literatura foi aplicada e uma melhora significativa foi obtida. Uma bancada experimental foi construída e testada. Os resultados experimentais a partir da bancada para uma amostra localmente reativa tiveram boa concordância com o modelo de Delany e Bazley e com os resultados obtidos em Tubo de Impedância, concordando com as previsões feitas a partir do modelo FEM. Erros encontrados nos resultados numéricos também foram encontrados nos resultados experimentais, mostrando que o modelo FEM é uma ferramenta válida para realizar previsões acerca do método de medição in situ utilizando Sistema PP. Ao final é apresentada a medição de uma amostra em um ambiente comum, mostrando a boa aplicabilidade da técnica in situ utilizando Sistema PP.

Published: August 2022

Este trabalho foca na determinação das propriedades de um novo material polimérico para ser usado em tubo de descarga de compressores herméticos. Portanto, o módulo de elasticidade e fator de perda foram determinados experimentalmente. O módulo de elasticidade foi obtido através do método de ajuste de modelo e o fator de perda através da banda de meia potência. O ajuste de modelo baseou-se na frequência natural de uma viga engastada-livre segundo a teoria de Timoshenko. Também, detalhou-se a forma de como os experimentos foram executados para obter as curvas de resposta em frequência das amostras poliméricas. Observou-se que o material possui pouca variação do módulo de elasticidade com a frequência, com valores médios próximos a 0,7 GPa. Obteve-se um fator de perda constante, com valor em torno de 0,03. Depois, estas propriedades foram usadas como parâmetros de entrada para um modelo de elementos finitos, que permitiu calcular o fluxo de potência vibratória do tubo feito com o novo material. Finalmente, estes resultados foram comparados com o fluxo de energia de um tubo de descarga típico, feito com aço cobreado. Verificou-se uma atenuação média de aproximadamente 16 dB na faixa de frequência até 5 kHz, com o novo material.

Este artigo descreve e analisa uma pequena parcela dos resultados obtidos pelo programa de simulação numérica de acústica de salas RAIOS 7 na primeira intercomparação internacional de programas de simulação, com aurilização, denominado Round Robin 4 (RR4). Esta foi a mais completa intercomparação internacional, promovida e organizada por duas universidades alemãs, e que contou com nove salas simuladas, totalizando um conjunto de 25 configurações distintas. Este trabalho mostra a estrutura geral do RR4, apresenta a versão atual do programa e discute os resultados monoauriculares obtidos pelo código RAIOS 7, comparados aos dados de medição feitos pela equipe do RR4, para cinco pares fonte-microfone em uma das salas, na forma de alguns parâmetros de qualidade acústica, a saber: T20, EDT, C80 e D50 por bandas de oitava. Evidencia-se que há desvios em relação aos valores medidos em todos os parâmetros, para as cinco posições, principalmente em baixas frequências. Em seguida, apresentam-se, para um par fonte-microfone, os desvios com respeito aos valores medidos dos demais programas participantes no RR4. Verifica-se que os desvios observados no código RAIOS 7 estão no terço inferior dos desvios dos demais programas de simulação de acústica de salas.
