Authors: Nunes Rodrigo Santiago , Cardoso Jorge Claudio Duarte , Resgala Júnior Renato Marcelo
Published: October 2023

Busca-se com o presente artigo analisar como a jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal controlou os critérios de discricionariedade do poder Executivo para a ponderação dos pressupostos necessários para a edição de medidas provisórias. O mecanismo utilizado pelo Supremo, é o controle de constitucionalidade, sendo de responsabilidade do STF processar e julgar as ações diretas de inconstitucionalidade, de leis ou atos normativos que violem o texto constitucional. A medida provisória, por sua vez, pode ser caracterizada como um ato administrativo com força de lei, devido ser oriunda do Poder Executivo. A constituição Federal, de forma excepcional, conferiu ao poder Executivo, em casos de urgência e relevância, a competência para editar medidas provisórias, que após entrarem em vigor, podem ou não serem convertidas em lei, a depender do Congresso Nacional, em prazo estabelecido no artigo 62 da Constituição. O controle sob a avaliação dos pressupostos de relevância e urgência por parte do órgão máximo do poder judiciário brasileiro será o tema central do presente artigo.
ASPECTOS DA CORRUPÇÃO ATIVA E PASSIVA NO ÂMBITO DA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA
Authors: Souza Millena Crizóstomo de , Leite André Henrique Oliveira
Published: October 2023

Public Administration represents the set of public bodies responsible for carrying out the functions assigned to the Brazilian State, in all its spheres. As a legal entity, it has a series of employees who, depending on the positions held, have the duty to carry out activities on behalf of the Administration and that is why their conduct is mixed. Therefore, it is up to public agents to act according to the principles of the state entity, within legality and morality, in addition to other grounds. Therefore, if a public official commits corruption in the performance of his role, he must answer for his actions not only in the administrative sphere, but also in the civil and criminal spheres. As this is a matter of interest to jurists and jurisdictions, this research is developed around its main objective: to relate the actions of individuals before the Public Administration with the rules of criminal law, mainly with regard to the criminal practice of active and passive corruption. To achieve the objective, the methodology adopted consists of the application of qualitative analysis techniques of the selected bibliography, since, prepared in the form of a literature review, the article presents itself as a course conclusion work whose results obtained include the elaboration of a scientific text based on the most relevant doctrinal opinions and jurisprudence of the National Courts.

Published: October 2023

A deficiência de G6PD é a enzimopatia eritrocitária mais comum da humanidade, afetando milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo e grande parte dos portadores dessa deficiência são assintomáticos, porém, deve-se ter uma atenção redobrada com os portadores dessa deficiência, pois eles correm sérios riscos de ter crises hemolíticas. Esse trabalho se trata de uma revisão bibliográfica, a qual tem como finalidade reunir, resumir e disseminar o conhecimento científico já produzido sobre os principais aspectos, manifestações clínicas, diagnóstico e tratamentos da G6PD, com o intuito de prestar assistência às famílias com crianças que são diagnosticadas com essa deficiência, para que tenham suporte e possam ter acesso facilitado a todas as principais informações. É levado um ponto importante em consideração que corrobora com a ideia de que a deficiência de G6PD não é uma “doença”, e que essa deficiência raramente poderá impossibilitar que seu portador tenha uma vida normal, é claro que existem restrições e deve se ter atenção redobrada com essa população de portadores dessa enzimopatia, por isso a importância de uma assistência rápida e categórica para informar e educar tanto as famílias dos portadores de deficiência de G6PD quanto os profissionais que lhes dão suporte.

Authors: Sousa Vitor Cabral de , Medrado Lucas Cavalcante
Published: October 2023

O presente artigo visa apresentar uma análise sobre as demandas predatórias como fator de violação do princípio da razoável duração do processo. Para tanto, objetiva-se com o estudo verificar se as demandas predatórias impactam negativamente na concretização efetiva do acesso à Justiça. Para tratar do contexto em foco, discutiu-se observar o crescente aumento no judiciário das chamadas demandas predatórias e como esse fenômeno pode impactar o poder judiciário na prestação jurisdicional, uma vez que ao cidadão deve ser assegurado o acesso à Justiça através da duração razoável do processo. Está pesquisa foi desenvolvida utilizando o método de abordagem o teórico dedutivo, e a metodologia da pesquisa jurídica, por meio da técnica exploratória bibliográfica e documental. A partir das informações obtidas, foi constatado que as demandas predatórias prejudicam o funcionamento adequado do sistema legal, o qual pode levar a um acúmulo de processos, aumentando a morosidade e acarretando a violação dos direitos das partes envolvidas. Conclui-se, portanto, que mesmo com os movimentos dos tribunais para amenizar o grande volume dessas demandas, acabam que muitas vezes não são percebidas e burlam o sistema de justiça, razão pela qual é necessário maior cautela e mecanismos efetivos para a identificação e diminuição de tais demandas.
(IN)IMPUTABILIDADE DO PEDÓFILO: OS LIMITES ENTRE PATOLOGIA E CONDUTA CRIMINOSA
Authors: Alves Filho Albery de Lima , Botelho Daniela Garcia
Published: October 2023

Ao longo da formação e desenvolvimento das primeiras civilizações, a base da cultura foram as relações patriarcais impostas, em que os homens exerciam o poder em sua integralidade e totalidade, e as mulheres e crianças figuravam o segundo plano, não havendo proteção do Estado, tampuco de suas famílias. Dito isso, podemos observar muitos problemas enfrentados pela sociedade nos dias atuais decorrentes de tal dominação, como por exemplo o machismo e a pedofilia, que é um dos objetos de análise do presente trabalho. Desta feita, ao que se falar da questão da imputabilidade do pedófilo, vale ressaltar que é complexa e envolve aspectos legais, médicos  e sociais. A pedofilia é uma desordem mental que pode afetar a capacidade do indivíduo de compreender a natureza criminosa de seus atos, sobrepondo, assim, as barreiras éticas, morais e legais da sociedade. No entanto, nem todos os pedófilos são considerados inimputáveis, uma vez que tal transtorno pode impedir parcialmente ou totalmente as faculdades mentais do indivíduo. Dessa forma, o artigo em questão se justifica pela atualidade da temática, uma vez que é de suma importância para a sociedade a abordagem da mesma, com o intuito de trazer à tona o real limite entre a inimputabilidade e a imputabilidade do pedófilo. Nesse ínterim, o objetivo do estudo é analisar o comportamento do pedófilo e esclarecer o limite entre a patologia e a conduta criminosa, bem como o seu enquadramento no ordenamento jurídico. A metodologia utilizada neste trabalho se baseia na revisão da literatura, de caráter descritivo, através de pesquisa em livros, artigos e na legislação brasileira. Para tanto, conclui-se que a análise sobre a responsabilidade penal do indivíduo pedófilo e os limites que separam a condição patológica da conduta criminosa é um assunto de grande importância e complexidade, pois requer uma compreensão abrangente de várias esferas de conhecimento e exige uma abordagem sensível e empática.

Authors: Carvalho Roberto Carlos Gonçalves de , Carvalho Fabiano Lacerda
Published: October 2023

Das inúmeras plantas utilizadas para tratar a depressão, talvez nenhuma seja mais complexa em terminologia e propriedades botânicas do que a ayahuasca. É uma bebida medicinal alucinógena e psicoativa valorizada pelas tribos indígenas amazônicas que se origina da fervura da casca de uma videira chamada Banisteriopis caapi com as folhas de Psycotria viridis. Vários estudos demonstraram a sua eficácia no tratamento da depressão, pelo que o objetivo deste trabalho foi validar o uso da ayahuasca no tratamento da depressão e da ansiedade. A depressão é uma condição clínica prevalente na população mundial e é uma doença incapacitante na qual os portadores se sentem tristes e perdem o desejo de se envolver em atividades antes prazerosas. Portanto, o uso da ayahuasca em todos os estudos apresenta propriedades benéficas para a melhora da depressão e pode se tornar uma alternativa de tratamento para a depressão no futuro.
Spatial and temporal variations in rockwall erosion rates derived from cosmogenic 10Be in medial moraines at five valley glaciers around Pigne d'Arolla, Switzerland
Authors: Wetterauer Katharina , Scherler Dirk
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Rockwall erosion in high-alpine glacial environments varies both temporally and spatially. Where rockwalls flank glaciers, changes in debris supply and supraglacial cover will modify ice ablation. Yet, quantifying spatiotemporal patterns in erosion across deglaciating rockwalls is not trivial. At five nearby valley glaciers around Pigne d'Arolla in Switzerland, we derived apparent rockwall erosion rates using 10Be cosmogenic nuclide concentrations ([10Be]) in medial moraine debris. Systematic downglacier sampling of six medial moraines that receive debris from rockwalls with differing orientation, slope, and deglaciation histories enabled us to assess rockwall erosion through time and to investigate how distinct spatial source rockwall morphology may express itself in medial moraine [10Be] records. Our dataset combines 24 new samples from medial moraines of Glacier du Brenay, Glacier de Cheilon, Glacier de Pièce, and Glacier de Tsijiore Nouve with 15 published samples from Glacier d'Otemma. For each sample, we simulated the glacial debris transport using a simple debris particle trajectory model to approximate the time of debris erosion and to correct the measured [10Be] for post-depositional 10Be accumulation. Our derived apparent rockwall erosion rates range between ∼ 0.6 and 10.0 mm yr−1. Whereas the longest downglacier [10Be] record presumably reaches back to the end of the Little Ice Age and suggests a systematic increase in rockwall erosion rates over the last ∼ 200 years, the shorter records only cover the last ∼ 100 years from the recent deglaciation period and indicate temporally more stable erosion rates. For the estimated time of debris erosion, ice cover changes across most source rockwalls were small, suggesting that our records are largely unaffected by the contribution of recently deglaciated bedrock of possibly different [10Be], but admixture of subglacially derived debris cannot be excluded at every site. Comparing our sites suggests that apparent rockwall erosion rates are higher where rockwalls are steep and north-facing, indicating a potential slope and temperature control on rockwall erosion around Pigne d'Arolla.

Sentido e alcance do dever fundamental de pagar impostos
Authors: Casalta Nabais José
Published: October 2023

In order to understand the meaning and scope of the fundamental duty to pay taxes as the foundational basis of the Rule of Law, the Author begins by taking care of the Western concept of constitution based on the primacy of the human person and his rights and freedoms. Which implies an essential separation from society, supported by a free economy, and a limitation of the organization and exercise of state power. An understanding that, applied to the financial support of the state, imposes the tax state based on the centrality of the taxpayer and the recognition of the fundamental duty to pay taxes as a new barrier to tax power.

A decolonial look at the past, present and future based on the rescue of memories of visitors to the National History Museum (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
Authors: Silva Juliane , Massarani Luisa , Araujo Juliana , Ribeiro Alice
Published: October 2023

History museums can foster discussions about historical contexts and encourage critical reflections on power relations and values that permeate society, helping to overcome historically constructed prejudices. Knowing the audiences, their perceptions, readings and interpretations, allows the adoption of more efficient communication actions between museums and visitors. Thus, in this qualitative research, we aimed to investigate the memories of the experience of five adult visitors at the National Historical Museum, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, eight months after the visit with their families. The methodology involved the use of a semi-structured interview, with the adoption of the stimulated memory method. The results showed that the exhibition was able to promote long-term impacts, enabling the formation of memorable experiences that favored critical reflections on the part of visitors, mainly on the enslavement of black African populations, slave trade and themes related to the period of the Empire, which still reflect its problems today. It is important for museums to approach historical processes, carrying out adequate contextualization, from a decolonial perspective, which serve to raise awareness, educate and promote a movement to repair and correct the hegemonic narratives perpetuated in society.

Convolutional neural network regression for estimating physical parameters of astrophysical binary black hole (BBH) systems
Authors: Antelis Andres , Moreno Claudia
Published: October 2023

In this paper we propose the use of a deep learning based model for inferring astrophysical information of binary black hole (BBH) systems from observed gravitational wave (GW) signals. We focused in estimating the total mass of BBH systems MT using a convolutional neural network regression (CNNR) model. We built a large dataset of 2Dimages representing the time-frequency evolution of BBH GW signals which are embedded in noise, where for each generated image the real total mass is known. A hold-out cross-validation procedure was performed to train and evaluate five architectures of CNNR models with different number and sizes of kernels The results indicate that the proposed deep neural network models for regression provide reliable point-parameter estimations with high accuracy. This estimation parameter approach can be easily extended to reconstruct more parameters from astrophysical sources directly from obseved GW events.

Data forecasting performance evaluation of threshold spatial vector autoregressive with exogenous variables
Authors: Sohibien Gama Putra Danu , Setiawan Setiawan , Prastyo Dedy Dwi
Published: October 2023

One time series model developed to predict economic data is Spatial Vector Autoregressive with Exogenous Variables (SpVARX). This model can accommodate simultaneously the interrelationships between variables, the impact of exogenous variables, and Inter-regional linkages. However, this model has not adjusted the nonlinearity relationships between variables. The relationship between economic variables is usually not linear. Therefore, we introduce the Threshold Spatial Vector Autoregressive with exogenous variables (TSpVARX). This paper assesses the forecasting performance of TSpVARX and compares it with SpVARX models. We conducted a simulation study by generating 100 times the simulation data with twelve scenarios. We found that the forecasting performance of the TSpVARX model is better than SpVARX when there is a nonlinear relationship between variables. In addition, we find that the forecasting performance of TSpVARX models will improve as the sample size increases.

Published: October 2023

Recently, the tissue culture (T.C.) propagation has played a major role in the massive expansion of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) plantations by making available a large number of cloned plants. Nevertheless, even if the in vitro propagation is an effective and a rapid way of date palm production, it has been associated with the emergence of some growth problems. Morphological abnormalities have been observed in tissue culture- derived date palm.

Dwarfism is the most common abnormality recorded in the Qatari dates plantations. Plants produced by tissue culture in “Nemishi” and “Lulu” are the most sensitive varieties to this problem. Moreover, the phenomenon of pollination failure locally known as “sheiss” was observed with the varieties Khalass and Kheneisi.

These off type phenotypes appear in the plants maturity stage and are commonly detected in the field years after planting. Therefore, the detection of these abnormalities, at an early stage, should be performed.

Since the genetic variation altered DNA methylation and gene expression are associated with these abnormal phenotypes, the molecular identification is inevitably the solution.
BOPPPS Instructional Model Applied to a Basic Economics Course in Higher Education: Design and Assessment
Authors: Qu Na , Wang Qinghui
Published: October 2023

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of applying and evaluating the BOPPPS teaching model in the economic foundation courses of higher education. Methods: Through experimental methods, the BOPPPS model is compared with traditional teaching methods so as to test the teaching effectiveness of the BOPPPS model. Conclusion: 1) The BOPPPS model highlights the learner's subject position, triggers students' interest through interesting and challenging tasks or problems, clarifies the learning objectives, stimulates students' desire for inquiry, tests and feeds back students' learning outcomes in a timely manner and prompts them to self-evaluate the learning process. 2) The BOPPPS model enhances the educational quality of the basic economic theory course, and it fosters deeper learning and critical thinking skills, and also promotes the cultivation of innovation and problem-solving abilities. However, there are some challenges in applying the BOPPPS model, such as teachers need to spend more time and effort on instructional design and preparation, teachers need to have certain educational theories and practical experience, and students may need some time to adapt to this new teaching model. For this reason, this study puts forward some improvement strategies and suggestions, with a view to providing some reference and inspiration for the teaching reform of basic economic courses in higher education.

Published: October 2023

Novel Corona Virus or COVID 19 is from the family Coronaviridae, known to mankind since 1962 when it was first isolated from a patient of a respiratory illness. These are pleomorphic viruses containing varying size peplomers (80- 160nM). They have very high rates of mutation due to constantly developing transcription errors & RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) jumps. These viruses are zoonotic pathogens affecting mostly animals including cattle, dogs, cats & bats. However these animal viruses can spread to humans causing pandemics like SARS & COVID19. They can cause wide range of infections from asymptomatic stage to cases requiring management at intensive care units. The first notable disease caused by Coronaviridae viruses was severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in China in 2002- 2003. After a decade there was an outbreak in Middle East countries causing thousands of deaths and causative CoV was named as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). The present corona virus pandemic, which erupted in Dec 2019 from Wuhan sea food market and was later labelled as 2019 novel corona virus (nCOVID 19) by world health organisation, is posing as a major healthcare challenge across the globe. It is rapidly spreading across the globe taking millions of lives and causing chaos. It has severely jeopardized the world economy causing global recession.

A Comparison of the EU and China's Aid Policies in Africa
Authors: Zhu Gang
Published: October 2023

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the rise of African power has become a major factor influencing the international political situation, but Africa itself is still objectively lagging most parts of the world in terms of its level of development. China and the European Union, in conjunction with the UN's development programme, have become important players in supporting Africa's rise. As a long-established political and economic phenomenon in state relations, foreign aid policy is also an extension of the internal political economy of national alliances or organizations of states and is one of the most important means by which each state can safeguard its economic interests and achieve its strategic objectives. China and the EU differ in their aid policies towards Africa and have many features that can be learned from each other. By starting from the aid policies of China and the EU towards Africa and using comparative regionalism as a theoretical guide, this paper summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of the aid policies of the two parties towards Africa and will propose constructive ideas for the establishment of a new inter-aid international structure and the promotion of closer cooperation between China, the EU and Africa.

Review of China's Environmental Image in Recent Years—Visualization analysis based on CiteSpace
Authors: Mo Zhangyue
Published: October 2023

Environmental issues are gradually extending beyond natural sciences to fields such as economy, politics and culture. As an important component of a country's "soft power", environmental image has also become a bargaining chip in the game of national comprehensive power discourse. This article uses the software CiteSpace as a research tool to visually analyze the core literature related to China's environmental image included in CNKI from 2010 to 2021, and to sort out and summarize its research focuses and frontiers. The results show that there have been abundant research results on national image in the academic community, but there is relatively little research on the specific issue of environmental image; Research often takes the interpretation of China's environmental image in the eyes of Western media as an analytical perspective, lacking comparative research on the differences between China's environmental image construction domestic and overseas; Ecological civilization, discourse power, and image construction are future research trends; Further exploration on how to build a harmonious and positive national environmental image is inspired.
