Authors: Meeran Muhammad Tanveer , Raza Asif , Din Muizzud
Published: September 2018

Cloud services are offering a large number of utilities to the mobile users. Mobile users can share, store, develop, compute and many other services on the cloud. Due to extensive utilization of cloud services by the mobile users, security concerns are also evolving with the same pace. Among different security problems, secure access to the cloud services (cloud data utilization, data storage) is also a difficult and challenging task. This paper highlights the security concerns, particularly addresses the issue of secure access to cloud infrastructure, Such as access the cloud services securely by the mobile users. As Elastic Cloud Computing is valid only for Amazon, MLaden model is theoretical based model and not implemented practically, Wayne model enhances the end user security but not proposed tool for practical implementation. Intention of this paper is to propose mechanism to securely access the cloud services using GSM band. Only defined frequency band of GSM will provide the access to the cloud services. Users will be restricted to use the particular frequency to access the cloud services.

Onko masennus lisääntynyt suomalaisessa aikuisväestössä?
Authors: Markkula Niina , Suvisaari Jaana
Published: September 2018

Maailmanlaajuisesti masennuksen esiintyvyys ei ole muuttunut viime vuosikymmeninä. Suomessa masennushäiriöiden esiintyvyys edustavissa väestötutkimuksissa oli vuonna 2000 7,3% ja vuonna 2011 9,6%. Esiintyvyyden kasvu oli merkitsevä naisilla, mutta ei miehillä. Masennuslääkkeiden kulutus ja erikoissairaanhoidon polikliiniset käynnit masennuksen vuoksi ovat myös lisääntyneet 2000-luvulla, kun taas sairaalahoito on vähentynyt. Masennushäiriöiden hoito on lisääntynyt enemmän kuin esiintyvyys, mikä viittaa siihen, että entistä useampi osaa hakeutua oireiden vuoksi hoitoon. Masennushäiriöiden esiintyvyyden vertailua vaikeuttavat mittaus- ja haastattelumenetelmien erot ja osallistumisaktiivisuuden vaihteluun liittyvä valikoitumisharha. Masennushäiriöiden esiintyvyys Suomessa on jonkin verran korkeampi kuin maailmanlaajuinen keskiarvo, mutta lukuja vertailtaessa on otettava huomioon, että suomalaisissa esiintyvyysarvioissa on korjattu valikoitumisharhan vaikutusta moni-imputoinnilla, toisin kuin useimmissa muissa tutkimuksissa. Siksi voidaan päätellä, että masennuksen esiintyvyys Suomessa ei todennäköisesti ole poikkeuksellisen korkea verrattuna muihin länsimaihin. Masennuksen esiintyvyyden muutokset voivat heijastaa muita yhteiskunnallisia muutoksia. Erityisesti talouden laskusuhdanteilla on usein kielteisiä seurauksia mielenterveydelle. Masennuksen ilmeinen yleistyminen suomalaisilla naisilla on tapahtunut samaan aikaan 2010-luvun taloudellisen taantuman kanssa. On kuitenkin mahdollista, että masennushäiriöiden nykyiseen esiintyvyyteen vaikuttaa myös 1990-luvun lama, sillä lapsena koetut vaikeudet ovat voimakas riskitekijä masennushäiriöiden kehittymiselle. Masennushäiriöiden lisääntyminen Suomessa erityisesti naisten keskuudessa edellyttää tarkempia tutkimuksia ja toimenpiteitä tämän huolestuttavan kehityksen muuttamiseksi.

Authors: Huda Nurul
Published: September 2018

The communities of Islamic boarding schools as institutions that are born from the basis and doctrine of Islam are meticulously and courageously successful in dialectics with the facts of life. In the colonial era, the communities of Islamic boarding schools did not only fight because of the reasons which the colonialism exploited and treated the people in a non-human way, but also more than the religious doctrine was the most basic foundation so that resistance occurred continuously. The communities of Islamic boarding school is also able to provide a theological solution to critical issues related to the basic foundation of nation and state, such as the basic state debate in the Jakarta charter, and the single principle of Pancasila. As the result, the communities of Islamic boarding schools have made a final decision known the Unitary State of the Republic of  Indonesia (NKRI), Bhinneka Tunggal Eka (unity in diversity), Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution is the final and complete for Indonesian nation.

Patentamiento de la tecnología HB4® entre CONICET y Bioceres S.A.: ¿Modelo a seguir?
Authors: Gamba Martina , Mocciaro Anabella
Published: September 2018

En este trabajo analizamos el caso del patentamiento conjunto de la tecnología HB4® realizado por un grupo de investigadores del CONICET y la empresa Bioceres S.A. Ello nos permite dar cuenta de los quiebres encontrados en la relación entre la política científica desarrollada durante los gobiernos de Néstor Kirchner y Cristina Fernández y la lógica de acumulación privada. El patentamiento de esta tecnología pone de manifiesto los conflictos de intereses y algunas de las limitaciones que tuvieron las propuestas de esos gobiernos. El vínculo entre Estado, ciencia y empresas; las lógicas que priman en las relaciones público-privadas; la apropiación del conocimiento, son, entre otras, cuestiones que requieren ser pensadas y debatidas en la construcción de un país soberano.
Táticas do cotidiano em Estive em Lisboa e lembrei de você, de Luiz Ruffato
Authors: Brandellero Sara
Published: September 2018

Este artigo analisa a novela Estive em Lisboa e lembrei de você, de autoria de Luiz Ruffato, focando as dinâmicas de poder articuladas na representação do migrante brasileiro e a experiência de deslocamento entendida como política, centrada na figura do protagonista, Sérgio de Souza Sampaio. A partir das formulações sobre as práticas do espaço urbano e da leitura de Michel de Certeau, o artigo defende a hipótese de que a representação do migrante em Ruffato está estritamente ligada ao posicionamento do próprio autor como escritor mineiro deslocado, que fala das margens, no referencial literário lusófono. Assim, o artigo discute como, através do que de Certeau chamaria de "caça ilegal", de apropriação subversiva deste mesmo referencial, evidencia-se principalmente o diálogo intertextual com o poeta português Fernando Pessoa.
estética da insurgência do coletivo Anarkofunk: a favela como espaço de luta e de desobediência
Authors: Loria Luana
Published: September 2018

O coletivo Anarkofunk é um grupo funk do Rio de Janeiro que se apropria da arte como meio de luta e de transformação. Isso se torna visível por meio das práticas artísticas engajadas e politizadas realizadas por esse coletivo que escolheu a periferia como lugar a partir do qual pretende transformar a sociedade por meio da insurgência e da desobediência civil. Através de uma estética anárquica, a periferia urbana vem apresentada, segundo o coletivo Anarkofunk, como o lugar que se coloca e luta contra o Estado e contra suas instituições, contra os modelos hegemônicos (classistas, hierárquicos e opressivos) que a depreciam; como lugar independente e autônomo, em que a rebelião e a revolução podem potencialmente ter ação, rompendo assim com qualquer tipo de diálogo institucional, e em que a violência funciona como instrumento de luta, destruição e regeneração. A análise relativa ao coletivo Anarkofunk será introduzida por uma breve contextualização do estilo musical do funk no contexto carioca.
Observations on the Influence of Temperature Of Second Stage Juveniles (Meloidogyne Spp.) in the Absence of the Host Plant
Authors: Boroș Leonard , Șesan Tatiana Eugenia , Dobrin Ionela , Iacomi Beatrice
Published: September 2018

The knowledge of root-knot nematodes behavior in different habitats and especially the knowledge of their reaction to major ecologic factors (humidity, temperature) are important for the assessment of pathogen potential in a specific area, being at the same time an important criterion for understanding the behavior towards host plants. The temperature is the most important factor, not just in the development of the entire biological cycle of root-knot nematodes, but at the same time it also affects their distribution, spread and survival under thermic stress conditions (excessive heat or cold). Alongside with the water and oxygen, the temperature is the triggering factor of hatching and running all stages until the adult stage. The articles aims to determine the survival of juveniles stages for Meloidogyne species, in the absence of host plants, and by exposing second stage juveniles to different temperatures. The juveniles survival and mobility decreases quite much at relative low temperatures (4°C and 10°C). Forward movements, mobility, hatching and lifetime were accentuated at higher temperatures (20°C) for a few weeks, so that after a period to decrease drastically (in 10 and 12 week) for the species considered for the study.

Authors: Cioineag Cristian Florinel , Horoias Roxana , Cristea Stelica
Published: September 2018

This study analyzes the results obtained during the agricultural year 2015-2016 on the PHD thesis research field and was carried out on a series of 6 wheat varieties (Triticum aestivum L.), of which 5 Premium wheat varieties and one Class A variety. The purpose of this research is to stimulate the expansion of Premium wheat varieties surfaces in Romania. Due to the superior quality of the grains (protein> 14.5%) their use in bakery, will reduce the use of synthesis enhancers. The location of the experimental field was carried out in Draganesti-Vlasca area, at SCDA Teleorman. The aim was to establish optimal technology to maximize the quantity and quality of the yield. Given the crop rotation after peas, the behavior of the wheat varieties was observed on different nitrogen doses. There were applied 3 fertilization fractions with nitrogen (N1-N3) and 3 treatments with fungicides (V1-V3). Determinations of the main foliar and spike diseases were made. The correlation between fertilizer and fungicide treatments showed the differences between yield potential and disease tolerance of the analyzed varieties.
The Restriction of Individual Performance of PGPR on Maize Nutrient Uptake by Antagonistic Relations
Authors: Mutlu Hakan , Coskan Ali
Published: September 2018

Recent studies have shown that certain soil microorganisms are capable to sustain plant nutrition in both conventional and organic agriculture; however, yet further studies needed for evaluation of the factors affecting PGPR performance. The goal of this research was to evaluate performance of natural bacteria relative to nutrient uptake and biomass development in corn (Zea mays L.) as it is related to conventional production systems. Soils have been collected from forested areas of Lake Region. The isolated bacteria have been tested at the conventional farm in Mediterranean region. Nine isolated and one cocktailed bacteria suspensions have been applied to rhizosphere of corn plants under regular cultivation practices in conventional production systems. The results revealed that all isolates are showing either positive or negative effect on both plant performance and nutrient uptake. No statistical differences were observed on grain yield; however, Isolates 3 and 9 showed improved grain-excluded biomass performances by 37.1% and 38.5% respectively. Phosphorus, zinc and manganese uptakes were the highest in Isolate 6 whereas the highest Fe uptake was determined in Isolate 8 at the tuft formation stage. Although all isolates represent their specific individual performances as far as any plant nutrient uptakes are concerned, their cocktail was not as effective. That happened probably due to competition between the isolates.
Does a Good Concentration Involve Necessarily a Better Use of the Production Factors?
Authors: Vlad Ionela Mituko , Toma Elena
Published: September 2018

The paper was based on the idea that important changes have been occurred in the last years in the Romanian agriculture. Labour is one of the most important production factor in rural area and when this is linked to the agriculture sector, becomes a strategic issue. Land as one of the most limited resources in agriculture plays also an important role, its degree of concentration determining the structure of the farms system. The purpose of the study was to explore, by means of the Gini coefficient, whether the labour, in different forms (paid, unpaid labour) follows a similar degree of concentration as the Total Utilized Agricultural Area (UAA) and the farm output. The datasets used for the paper were the FADN public database (period 2007-2015) and the Tempo online dataset from Romanian National Institute of Statistics. The findings of this analyse were that paid labour, unpaid labour and the output followed a decreased trend of concentration and become during the analysed period, more equal distributed, while the area tends to have more unequal distribution, so the large farms tends to become larger.
Research on Phenotyping and Eno-Carpological Traits of Twenty-Three New Romanian Table Grape Varieties (Vitis Vinifera L.)
Authors: Bucur Georgeta Mihaela , Dejeu Liviu
Published: September 2018

Twenty-three new Romanian table grapes varieties were analysed for their phenological behaviour, quantitative characteristics (bunch weight, berry weight, their length and width, grape yield), sugar accumulation, titratable acidity, and ºBrix / acid ratio during three consecutive years (2015-2017). The higher temperatures recorded during the study period determined an advance in the development of the main phenophases, especially the grapes’ harvest maturity. Absolute minimum temperatures during winter, damaging the vine, have significantly affected grape yield. As a consequence of earlier phenology and lower yields due to frost damage, harvest was advanced between 2 and 4 weeks than the average. The results obtained in this study favoured five remarkable genotypes for their very good quality of grape (‘Victoria’, ‘Tamina’, ‘Xenia’, ‘Napoca’ and ‘Augusta’). These varieties are distinguished by the highest values for bunch and berry weight (between 300-500 g and 5.5-8.4 g, respectively), berries’ size uniformity, the sugar content between 15.45-21.53 ºBrix and balanced ºBrix / acid ratio. Lately, the high temperatures during the grape maturation period have led to increased accumulations of sugar in berries, to reduced acidity, which affects the sugar-acidity balance; a more careful choice of grape harvest time is needed.

Authors: Cioca Ana-Andreea , Balla Ioana-Raluca , Mihaiu Marian , Colobatiu Liora Mihaela
Published: September 2018

Fish meat consumption has gained a lot of popularity in Europe in the last years. It is considered to be a great alternative for red meat because it provides large amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. These components lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, reduce the risk of autoimmune diseases, are essential for growth and development, can contribute to mood elevation and can prevent cognitive decline, and eye disease. Unfortunately the benefits can sometimes be accompanied by a risk associated with chemical and microbiological contaminants. The aim of this paper is to review some recently published studies concerning the groups of chemical compounds and bacteria found in fish meat, which can have negative effects on human health. In order to raise awareness, aspects related to dangerous persistent organic pollutants and zoonotic bacteria are described. The frequency of encountering them is discussed, the ways in which they can reach the human body are specified and a critical comparison of their consequences is performed.

Published: September 2018

Rosa canina L. fruit have been used internally as tea for treatment of viral infections and disorders of the kidneys and urinary tract. Also, it was reported that the R. canina fruit, with its high ascorbic acid, phenolics and flavonoids contents, have antioxidant, antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which cause oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids and thus protect the organism. Research studies conducted on this topic have shown that natural antioxidants are involved in protection against many diseases: cancer, cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis. Different processing and storage methods of the fruit could affect the bioactive nutrients while preserving the antioxidant capacity of them is very important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of storage in a dry or frozen state on the antioxidants content of R. canina fruit. The evaluation involved determination of carotenes, ascorbic acid and total polyphenols using spectrophotometrically methods. Analysis performed on the R. canina fruit showed significant changes in the antioxidants content in fresh, dried and frozen fruit during storage.
Central Bank Credibility, Independence, and Monetary Policy
Authors: Aguir Abdelkader
Published: September 2018

The main motives behind the adoption of an inflation targeting regime largely relate to the notion of credibility, transparency of monetary policy and the autonomy of the central bank, which explicitly undertakes to achieve a certain inflation target. This paper examines the effects of inflation targeting in emerging economies in relation to the degree of independence of the central bank and the credibility of monetary policy. We find effects in emerging economies with little central bank independence, so our findings suggest that the central bank’s credibility, transparency and independence is a prerequisite for emerging economies to experience a decline in inflation following the adoption of inflation targeting.
Biochemical Effects of Oleuropein in Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Male Rat
Authors: Amirnahavandirahbar Sina , Nasirzadeh Mohammad Reza
Published: September 2018

Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by a disorder in the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The liver as a non-insulin dependent organ plays an important role in the regulation of blood fat and glucose. Most blood glucose lowering drugs that are introduced for treatment have side effects in long-term consumption. Therefore, to control diabetes and its complications, the use of herbal drugs is widely considered nowadays. The present study investigates the biochemical effects of oleuropein in diabetic male rats. In this study, 30 adult male Wistar rats with a weight range of 190±30 gr were equally divided into 3 groups randomly: 1) control group or intact animals, 2) diabetic animals, and 3) treatment group, which received 60 mg/kg oleuropein for 30 days by gastric gavage. Diabetes was induced in diabetic and treatment groups by injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg) intraperitoneally. At the end of the treatment, the levels of triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, VLDL, blood glucose, HbA1C, and activity of AST and ALT were determined. The results showed that the serum lipid profile and blood glucose increased significantly in the diabetic group compared with the control group (p<0.05). Also, HbA1C and atherogenic index decreased significantly in the treatment group compared with the diabetic group (p<0.05). This study showed that oral administration of oleuropein has hypoglycemic effects, which can reduce the serum levels of the lipids profile and the atherogenic index in streptozotocin-induced diabetic male rats.
Experimental Study of the Aerodynamics of Sail in Natural Wind
Authors: Xiangming Zeng , Huawu Zhang
Published: September 2018

In order to evaluate the impacts of a motor vessel after installing wind sails, the aerodynamics of the sail should be accurately calculated. However most of the research on sails are based on stable wind instead of natural wind which is changing horizontally and vertically. In this paper wind tunnel tests are carried out based on stable wind field and simulated natural wind field, the results shown that there are 16–44% decrease in natural wind in terms of lifting coefficient and 11–42% decrease for drag coefficient. This would provide a valuable reference to the effectiveness evaluation of the impact of sails for sail assisted ships.
Passive Localization for Mixed-Field Moving Sources
Authors: Gao Chunxian , Liu Hui
Published: September 2018

Due to the mobility of underwater equipment, high-precision underwater positioning technology will face two technical challenges: dealing with mixed-field signals composed of near-field signals and far-field signals; adapting to variable component of mixed-field signals considering the mobility of equipment. Under this condition, an effective method based on MUSIC is addressed in this paper. After distinguishing far-field signal subspace from mixed-field signal subspace, estimations of DOAs and powers of far-field sources are carried out. Then the corresponding far-field and noise signal components can be eliminated from the signal subspace. After that, based on path-following algorithm, modified 2D-MUSIC is performed for DOA and range estimations of near-field sources. The performance of the proposed method is verified and compared with the other methods through computer simulations. Reasonable classification of source types and accurate localization estimation can be achieved by using the proposed method.
Research on Key Process Technology for Profile Electrolytic Finishing of Large Marine Propeller Impeller
Authors: Ding Bi-Rong , Chen Yuan-long , Zhou Ji , Chen Pei-xuan
Published: September 2018

An electrolysis process method for free-form blade surface finishing is proposed for a free-form surface impeller, and a stepwise method is used to process the inter-blade channel of the overall impeller. The forming cathode is then used to finish the blade to meet the blade processing requirements. In the design, the forming cathode structure was improved by using motion simulation software, and the flow field simulation software was used to simulate and analyze the cathode flow channel. The cathode shape and the electrolyte flow rate between the electrodes meet the processing requirements. In the process of processing experiments, the motion path of the cathode was analyzed and optimized. The effect of the feed direction on the uneven distribution of the blade machining gap was reduced through optimization, and high-frequency pulse power processing was used to reduce the machining gap and improve the machining accuracy of the blade. The experimental results show that the process scheme is feasible and the precision of the processed impeller free-form surface is significantly improved. The material is a monolithic turbine disk of high-temperature alloys, and its large twisted blade processing has always been a problem in the manufacturing industry.

Impact of Employees’ Job Insecurity and Employee Turnover on Organisational Performance in Private and Public Sector Organisations
Authors: Abolade Dupe Adesubomi
Published: September 2018

Layoffs and alternative staffing seem to be a phenomenon in many workplaces, many employees seem uncertain of their continuing in their job as a result of threats that they face on the job which could lead to job loss, and these call for concern. This paper therefore examines some of the factors responsible for job insecurity and employee turnover and the attendant effects of job insecurity on organisation. The study investigates the relationship between job insecurity and organisation performance, as well as relationship between job insecurity and employee turnover. Self-developed structured questionnaire titled ‘Job Insecurity, Organisation Performance and Employee Turnover’ (JIOPET) was used as the instrument to collect data from one hundred and twenty randomly selected respondents from organised private sector (financial institutions) in Akure and public sector (state secretariat) in Ibadan, Nigeria. The data were analysed and the two hypotheses drawn up for the study were tested using Pearson Product- Moment Correlation. The findings establish that job insecurity negatively affect organisation performance and induce employee turnover. It is recommended that organisation policy makers should diligently address the factors that contribute to job insecurity, have training policy and train employees as work procedures are becoming more dynamic with new technologies.
Assessing the Impact of Technology Adoption on Human Touch Aspects in Healthcare Settings in Mauritius
Authors: Ratna Catriona Planel , Juwaheer Roubina , Pudaruth Sharmila
Published: September 2018

This paper investigates the impact of technology adoption on human touch aspects in healthcare settings in Mauritius. Unstructured interviews, focus group discussions and overt observations were carried out in two phases with 27 healthcare professionals and 42 healthcare customers in the private sector over a period of five months as part of an exploratory study, followed by a pilot study where a survey was carried out among 31 participants who have also been exposed to private healthcare services in Mauritius. Survey findings have depicted that technology implementation in healthcare settings can represent a direct threat to human touch aspects. Although the outcome of service remains very important, the delivery of same service in terms of how, when and by whom it was delivered has been seen to be as important. Healthcare customers are normally in a vulnerable state requiring appropriate human touch in the service delivery. Moreover, they also expect fast, efficient and effective services which eventually create a pressing need for consequent use of technology. Therefore, the balance between technology and human touch aspects was found to be a determinant of service quality enforcement and customer satisfaction for healthcare customers. This paper demonstrates that implementing technology in healthcare nowadays is inevitable for proper service delivery, however, it is imperative to preserve human touch aspects at all times during health service encounters. This pioneer study also acts as a guide for health care practitioners to derive the best strategies to maintain a good equilibrium between technology adoption and human touch aspects in all healthcare services in the context of developing state such as Mauritius.
Imperfections in Our Future

Published: September 2018

Our future is polarized and unpredictable and means progress as this regards the evolution of technology that may bring about the union between man and machine as far as the present technological environment is enlarging. But, until then we have to face imperfections that are synonymous with the problems that affect humanity: aggression against some states, conflicts that need to be settled, discrepancy between the rich and the poor, the positive and negative influences of the internet, CO2 emissions in developed countries, redirecting towards markets with lower risk potential, even the battle with death. And, unfortunately we have the alienation of the modern man in a breakable world. We know that the future can become what we wish it to be as far as we have a purpose and positive outlooks and take the correct decisions.

A IMPORTÂNCIA DAS NORMAS CONSTITUCIONAIS ECONÔMICAS PROGRAMÁTICAS
Authors: Silva Américo Luís Martins
Published: September 2018

As normas constitucionais programáticas não podem ser consideradas inúteis se, na maior parte das vezes, não conseguem se firmarem como normas plenamente eficazes, muito menos como verdadeiras diretrizes que efetivamente serão seguidas pelos legisladores. Todavia, a utilidade das normas constitucionais econômicas programáticas, em espécie, está diretamente ligada à dificuldade de se adotar medidas concretas envolvendo diretamente o fenômeno econômico, pois não é possível se admitir irrestritamente o princípio da generalidade da lei em face à sua constante evolução e contínua mobilidade. De maneira que as normas constitucionais econômicas programáticas não podem ser consideradas mais que um compromisso, a nível constitucional, do qual germinam princípios a serem cumpridos não apenas na elaboração da legislação econômica, mas também na elaboração das normas não governamentais, visando à realização dos fins sociais do Estado. Essa falta de eficácia imediata não torna tal espécie de norma uma inutilidade ou utopia. O princípio básico que a norteia consubstancia na consagração da máxima no sentido de que, mesmo se tendo que manipular a utopia, é melhor e mais seguro se ter pelo menos uma mera orientação constitucional moralmente válida do que não ter orientação alguma e deixar livre o legislador ordinário, provisório ou complementar para escolher a forma de fazer justiça que bem entender.
A DESCONSIDERAÇÃO DA PERSONALIDADE JURÍDICA EM FACE DE IMPEDIMENTOS PARA PARTICIPAR DE LICITAÇÕES E CONTRATAR COM A ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA: LIMITES JURISPRUDENCIAIS
Authors: Junior Jessé Torres Pereira Junior , Dotti Marinês Restelatto
Published: September 2018

Seria possível à Administração Pública desconsiderar a personalidade jurídica de sociedade empresarial, para o efeito de estender-lhe a penalidade aplicada a outra, tendo sido aquela constituída ulteriormente a esta, pelos mesmos sócios e com o mesmo objeto social, no evidente propósito de ladear o impedimento decorrente da sanção e viabilizar a participação da nova sociedade em licitações e contratações com o estado? Este estudo almeja demonstrar que a desconsideração da personalidade jurídica da sociedade constituída em fraude à lei e com abuso de forma é possível pela Administração Pública, mesmo diante do fato de inexistir previsão legal específica, para o que há expressivo apoio doutrinário e se contam inúmeros precedentes na jurisprudência recente dos tribunais judiciais e de contas, desde que preenchidos certos requisitos, que os gestores devem conhecer e respeitar, sob pena de, visando coibir a fraude, darem ensejo a excessos também prejudiciais ao interesse público.

O ALCANCE DO ARTIGO 120 DA LEI Nº 8.213/91
Authors: Martello Andréa Filpe , Pallone Renata Ferrero
Published: September 2018

A análise teleológica do artigo 120 da Lei n° 8.213/91 é feita com base nos princípios ético-diretivos da Constituição da República, cujo epicentro é o princípio da dignidade humana, o qual é indissociável do direito ao meio ambiente do trabalho sadio, que está inserido no gênero meio ambiente como um todo. Reconhece-se, portanto, que o direito ao meio ambiente do trabalho equilibrado é um direito humano e social do trabalhador. Diante destas condições busca-se dar a máxima efetividade ao artigo em análise.
NEOCONSTITUCIONALISMO, PONDERAÇÃO E RACIONALIDADE: O CRITÉRIO DE CORREÇÃO ARGUMENTATIVA DO PONTO MÉDIO DE RUPTURA
Authors: Silva Claudio Fontes Faria
Published: September 2018

A doutrina identifica o neoconstitucionalismo com o movimento de reestruturação da Teoria Geral do Direito a partir da promulgação de constituições de forte conteúdo protetivo e com pretensão à efetividade, que começa em meados do século XX e vincula-se, historicamente, às consequências da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Esse movimento, todavia, não se limita ao universo teórico, pois tem sido pensado e esquematizado por meio de três vertentes ou acepções: teórica, institucional e ideológica. A passagem do constitucionalismo para o neoconstitucionalismo tem produzido uma crise de racionalidade no Direito. Daí o esforço da doutrina, em muitos países, para encontrar a razão possível em um sistema normativo que se estruturou em normas abertas, desprovidas total ou parcialmente dos pressupostos de aplicação e que, muito por isso, não se sabe, a priori, o que ditam e para quem. Impende, assim, compreender o papel da ponderação de bens e interesses como o método apropriado, segundo ampla parcela dos constitucionalistas, para a interpretação e a aplicação dos princípios constitucionais; porém, mais que isso, entender a posição dessa técnica na totalidade do processo de construção da norma para o caso concreto. A questão da racionalidade da interpretação constitucional desemboca no problema da argumentação jurídica, na medida em que é por meio dela que se expõe o caminho percorrido para a solução das questões submetidas ao exame do intérprete. A título de contributo pessoal para o debate, oferece-se o critério de correção argumentativa denominado de ponto médio de ruptura.
A LEGITIMIDADE DO TRIBUNAL CONSTITUCIONAL NA CONCRETIZAÇÃO DA CONSTITUIÇÃO DIRIGENTE
Authors: Passos Daniel Silva
Published: September 2018

O atual estágio de politização do direito decorre do conteúdo valorativo dos objetivos e direitos fundamentais previstos no texto constitucional. Estes últimos, ao tempo em que estabelecem limites à atuação estatal, irradiam um plexo de obrigações voltado à sua concretização material, e exigindo, em última instância, a reconstrução da realidade. Deste contexto sobressai a importância da participação do Poder Judiciário neste processo, na medida em que é garantidor, em última instância, da plena normatividade da Constituição. O presente trabalho pretende discutir os principais óbices levantados pelos opositores da jurisdição constitucional, analisando a postura que o STF vem adotando atualmente, para, ao final, concluir sobre a essencialidade de seu papel no cumprimento das promessas emancipatórias assumidas pela Constituição de 1988.
INSTITUCIONAL - LUZES SOBRE TÊMIS: A MOTIVAÇÃO COMO IMPERATIVO ÉTICO E LEGITIMADOR DO JUIZ
Authors: Souza Raphael Ramos Monteiro

A simbólica representação da justiça pela figura da deusa Têmis, mediante a força da espada, o equilibro da balança e a isenção dos olhos vendados revela um conjunto chave de atributos que se esperam do Poder Judiciário.
INSTITUCIONAL - ADVOCACIA DE ESTADO, ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA E DEMOCRACIA: A FUNÇÃO DA CONSULTORIA JURÍDICA NA FORMULAÇÃO E EXECUÇÃO DE POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS
Authors: Guimarães Guilherme Francisco Alfredo Cintra
Published: September 2018

O artigo desenvolve uma tese geral sobre a função das atividades de consultoria jurídica desempenhadas pela Advocacia de Estado no âmbito da administração pública, com especial destaque para os contextos brasileiro e italiano. Com o auxílio da teoria dos sistemas sociais desenvolvida pelo sociólogo alemão Niklas Luhmann, as atividades de consultoria jurídica são descritas como uma espécie de tradução entre os sistemas jurídico e político. A função da consultoria jurídica seria, então, a de traduzir os programas jurídicos que condicionam a atividade político-discricionária da administração pública, com o objetivo principal de contribuir para a legitimidade e a eficiência das políticas públicas necessárias à promoção dos direitos fundamentais dos cidadãos.
A PROIBIÇÃO DE COMPORTAMENTO CONTRADITÓRIO NO ÂMBITO DA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA: A TUTELA DA CONFIANÇA NAS RELAÇÕES JURÍDICO-ADMINISTRATIVAS
Authors: Facci Lucio Picanço
Published: September 2018

O presente estudo tem por finalidade examinar a possibilidade de aplicação do princípio de proibição ao comportamento contraditório na esfera das relações jurídico-administrativas. O estudo será desenvolvido a partir da análise do conteúdo jurídico e dos fundamentos normativos do nemo potest venire contra factum proprium no direito brasileiro; do papel do Poder Público na contemporaneidade, tendo em conta a redefinição dos paradigmas do Direito Administrativo decorrentes da nova ordem constitucional e da afirmação do cidadão-administrado na condição de foco principal do Direito Administrativo brasileiro contemporâneo; bem como do estudo da teoria das autolimitações administrativas, dos pressupostos específicos para a oponibilidade do princípio ao Poder Público e das subteorias dos atos próprios e dos precedentes administrativos, instrumentos de materialização do nemo potest venire contra factum proprium no âmbito da Administração Pública.
CRÍTICA À TESE DA ABSTRATIVIZAÇÃO OU OBJETIVAÇÃO DO CONTROLE CONCRETO OU DIFUSO DE CONSTITUCIONALIDADE
Authors: Gomes Anderson Ricardo
Published: September 2018

O modelo brasileiro de controle de constitucionalidade pauta-se no controle jurisdicional misto, disciplinando diferentemente a extensão subjetiva de suas decisões declaratórias de inconstitucionalidade, uma vez que no controle abstrato ou concentrado sua decisão, por si só, terá eficácia vinculante e erga omnes. No controle concreto ou difuso, como a questão principal (questão de mérito) consiste na existência ou não de determinado direito subjetivo da parte, a declaração de inconstitucionalidade do ato normativo não valerá para outros senão os sujeitos parciais do processo, salvo se nos moldes do art. 52, X, da Constituição Federal, o Senado Federal determinar a suspensão da execução da lei declarada inconstitucional. A teoria da abstrativização ou objetivação do controle concreto ou difuso de constitucionalidade propõe a equiparação dos efeitos da decisão de inconstitucionalidade proferido no controle concreto ou difuso pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal aos da decisão prolatada em sede de controle abstrato, com base uma diferente interpretação do inciso X do art. 52 da Constituição, resultante de mutação constitucional. Entretanto, à vista do atual ordenamento jurídico-constitucional brasileiro, tal equiparação de efeitos é inválida.
