End-To-End Technologies as a Tool Mediatization of Content
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Oleshko Vladimir F. , Safronova Alyona I. ,   Ural Federal University, Smirnova Alyona P. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the topic of using the capabilities of so­called end­to­end technologies in modern media practice. This is one of the key scientific and technical directions, since through them the boundaries of the use of certain digital components are destroyed only in certain industries (therefore they are called “end–to­end”). At the same time, the situation in the existing markets, including the media market, is radically changing, fundamentally new segments are emerging. Based on quite extensive theoretical material, surveys, sociological data and publications in the mass media, the authors have identified and analyzed — main trends in the development of the process of widespread digitalization of the content in Russia and in the regions, as well as specific technologies for organizing effective open dialogue with the audience. One of the features of the analysis of practices is the appeal, among other things, to the experience of one of the new media, which has a rather modest budget. A comparison of approaches to the studied issue of multi–format mass media makes the results of the presented analysis more convincing, and the conclusions are truly applied for future use in real life.

Retention of Audience Attention in Music and Entertainment Radio Broadcasting: Linguistic and Pragmatic Aspect
Authors:   Ural Law Institute of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia, Bukina Tatiana G.
Published: December 2022

The article examines the linguistic methods of keeping the audience’s attention on the music and entertainment radio station “Europe Plus”. As the main technique, the author highlights the creation of tension on the radio air. This technique is modeled with the help of such lexical means as emotional and tonal vocabulary (both positive and negative coloring), vocabulary with the so-called “anxious” semantics, as well as with the help of non-linear construction of the broadcast: prospection and retardation. The conclusion is made that the greatest effect can be achieved through the convergence of various techniques.
Lexical-Semantic Mainstreaming in the Context of Crossculturalcomparisons
Authors:   The Liberal Arts University, Kalganova Svetlana O. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: December 2022

The article addresses the issue of re-thinking lexical meanings concerning a wide range of ideologically biased words currently developing in media space. The author studies the contexts, which compare equivalent notions in the realm of ideological confrontation between Russia and the West. New meanings are revealed attributed to foreign equivalents in response to the facts of public life. The article shows that having been set against traditional Russian understanding of foreign equivalent, Russian words actualize the meanings associated with realities of life and culture in today’s Russia.

Published: December 2022

The biggest impediment to the Ethiopian government’s ability to raise revenue by its means to the required level is the lack of taxpayers’ compliance behavior with the tax system. Therefore, this study examines the key determinants of taxpayers’ compliance behavior with the tax system in the Afar regional state. To this end, two purposively selected woredas (Awash and Aba’ala) and one city administration (Samara-logia) were used. Primary data were collected from 404 randomly selected respondents. The ordered logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors that determine tax compliance. Results show that tax knowledge, probability of detection, perception of government spending, organizational strength of the tax authority, fairness of the tax system, and simplicity of the tax system have positive effects on tax compliance, whereas tax rates have a negative effect on tax compliance in the Afar regional state. As a result, it is suggested that the tax authorities launch effective and brief awareness-development and tax education programs for the general public and taxpayers in particular. The tax system, notably the tax return, tax forms, and tax rules, should be simplified by the tax authorities so that they are readily understood by taxpayers. Furthermore, the tax authorities should be powerful enough to effectively and efficiently enforce the tax laws, and to ensure tax fairness, their tax liability must be determined by their ability to pay. Lastly, the government must maintain accountability and transparency in how tax revenue is dispensed, as well as deliver social services to the public efficiently and intelligently so that taxpayers have faith in and a favorable attitude toward the taxes they pay and the tax system.

Published: December 2022

Taxation policy constitutes a very important position in Government’s focus on macro-economic management and development of the state. The lack of adequate financial resources has made economies especially developing ones to focus upon tax performance more vigorously. Compliance is not everything about enforcement for tax collections alone; it carries attempts of modern day states to build an obedient and self-policing society. In this context, tax practitioners play a crucial role in creating the same. Tax practitioners act as fundamental allies of taxpayers while they also carry a legal obligation to obey tax laws when professionally advising their clients. The present study attempts to explore the underlying factors behind tax professionals’ ethics based decision making process. For the purpose of statistical analysis, a structured questionnaire was employed building upon a four-dimensional framework of tax ethics. The survey data has been collected from a sample of 316 individual tax practitioners from three major provinces of North India – Punjab, Haryana & Himachal Pradesh using non-probability snowball sampling technique during July-Dec. 2021. The statistical results revealed tax practitioners’ ethics is indeed reflected by the postulated framework. Three of the postulated hypothesis namely stakeholder view, Machiavellian scale & compliance costs were found as significantly influencing tax ethics thereby signifying a relationship between practitioners ethics and these dimensions. The survey findings carry important managerial implications for improving the responsiveness of tax revenue performance under dynamic economic settings.

Published: December 2022

The global average temperature has increased by approximately 0.5 °C, over a last few decades and is projected to continue to increase. Environmental stress factors such as, elevated temperature, salinity, toxic elements (Fe, Al, Cd, Cr, Pb, Zn and As), drought and rising CO2 affect plant growth and make a growing threat to agriculture. Rice is a primary food crop in the world and the establishment of rice crop in acidic soil and in marginal soil is a major goal for the improvement of rice production to fulfill the food security. Among environmental stresses, Fe2+ toxicity is one of the main stresses in limiting the cereal crops production. Tolerant rice genotypes that can tolerate the high concentration of Fe2+ toxicity are the potential source genes for rice tolerance improvement in Fe2+ toxicity. In this research work, the genetic basis of seed germination traits and growth traits was investigated in rice using (multiple interval mapping) MIM. Many rice genotypes serve as source of tolerant against toxic metal ion like Fe2+, could be an important factor in controlling the sever effect of Fe2+ toxicity on germination and seedling growth traits.  The F3 progenies of cross between Fe2+ toxicity tolerant cultivar ‘Pokkali’ and susceptible cultivar ‘Pak basmati’ were test against the optimized level of Fe2+ toxicity at germination, to determine the mode of inheritance to Fe2+ toxicity tolerance. Wide range of continues variation was found in F3 progenies. Among the 49 quantitative germination trait and 23 growth trait loci (QTLs) on chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 9 linked with tolerance to Fe2+ toxicity was mapped. Additionally, 21 QTLs for germination traits and 9 QTLs for growth traits were classified as major QTLs using MIM. For germination and growth traits, notable epistasis between the chromosome 1, 2, 4, 6 and 11 was detected across germination and growth traits. Our results suggest that the tolerance mechanisms at germination and seedling phases could differ for Fe2+ toxicity. QTLs detected in this study for germination and seedling growth could be a source of new alleles for development of tolerance rice to Fe2+ toxicity varieties and transformation, gene cloning and gene editing in the future

Baby’s breath (Gypsophila paniculata L.) roots are valuable as pharmaceuticals due to the content of triterpenoid saponins and other bioactive phytochemicals. However, the long root harvest period and fluctuation of these constituent’s content are among the constraints to traditional agricultural production. The present study shows an efficient and reliable liquid root culture of G. paniculata cv. ‘Perfecta’ established in a shake flask system using different auxins, media, and sugars. Hairy root (HR) induction in G. paniculata through Rhizobium rhizogenes-mediated transformation was also investigated. α-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) was optimized for adventitious roots (AR) biomass, saponin, and flavonoid production at 1 or 2 mg/L compared to IBA. Full strength Gamborg’s medium (B5) recorded higher saponin content; however, the highest yield of total saponin and total flavonoids was achieved by full strength Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium. Sucrose was more essential for root growth and accumulated total saponins and flavonoids rather than fructose and glucose. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis showed that G. paniculata HR carried rolC gene of R. rhizogenes A4 strain in its genome but not virD2 gene. Compared to non-transformed root, saponin content of leaf and stem-derived HR was 2.7 and 2.3-fold, while total flavonoid content was 2.1 and 2.0-fold, respectively. The DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity was also higher in HR extracts than in non-transgenic roots. This study established an efficient protocol for G. paniculata root cultures for sustainable production of important natural saponins and flavonoids.

The present research was carried out on Cyperus difformis L., commonly found sedge weed in rice field to evaluate its’ ethnopharmacological potential in terms of phytochemical constituents, antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer activities. FTIR spectroscopy of powdered material of plant parts, rhizome (with roots), leaves and flowers showed the presence of three main chemical groups, i.e. -OH (alcohol), -C=O (carbonyl) and -CO-O-CO (anhydride). The phytochemical composition of n-Hexane, chloroform and ethanol crude extracts of same parts analysed by GC-MS and n-Hexane extract of various parts indicated 14 compounds with highest (10) in flowers extract followed by six compounds in chloroform and five in ethanol extracts of plant parts. The antibacterial activity was assessed against Salmonella enterica, E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus by using well diffusion method and similar resistance was shown by n-Hexane and ethanol extracts while noticeable inhibition by chloroform extract, especially by leaves showing zone of inhibition, 16.17±0.52mm, comparable with Gentamycin 18±0.11mm. The antioxidant activity in terms of DPPH Scavenging activity was found higher in n-Hexane and chloroform extracts, especially leaves i.e., 54.6±0.43 & 43.45±0.53 as compared to that of ethanol extracts. The percentage activity was increased with an increase of concentration of extracts. Antiproliferative activity checked by SRB proliferative assay and the crude extracts of plant parts of C. difformis showed good activity against A2780 and HCT116 cancer cells in three days. C. difformis having therapeutic action as well as its’ ethnopharmacological history, being used as fodder, it may be recommended good herbal fodder for the dairy animals.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the structure and contents of transgender women’s social representations of their bodies and body modification practices. Methods: Research conducted with 92 women using the Snowball technique. The data were collected using the free evocation of words technique and processed by the Evoc software, which organized the central and peripheral elements. Results: The representation of the real body includes two structuring aspects: one related to the need to adapt/modify the body conformation according to the self-reported gender, because of the dissatisfaction with the body itself; the second reveals the happiness/satisfaction considering the results obtained through the body modification/adaptation practices adopted in the transition. Final considerations: The body is constituted as a complex object and was represented by elements that reinforce the understanding of body modifications as needs, with a view to satisfaction, personal fulfillment, and care of one’s own body.

Sustainability management in cities: a perspective regarding the role of civil society networks in the public policy analysis process
Authors: Kist Mônica Beppler , Bellen Hans Michael Van
Published: December 2022

Abstract Alongside the consolidation of the multicentric model of public management, new forms of organization have been structured to act in the public policy process, seeking to contribute to the development of the policies’ contexts and to direct this development toward a more sustainable trajectory. This research analyzes the relationship between civil society and the state, investigating how civil society networks aimed at sustainable development in cities act in the public policy analysis process. We studied four cases through an interpretative data analysis, researching how they act in the stages of problem identification, agenda setting, and formulation of alternatives. We concluded that the networks act in the three stages, and their contributions are represented by diagnoses about the city, events to debate themes, and explicit advocacy work with public managers. We assess that the systematized approach and the technical bias adopted by these networks contribute to them being considered an instance of support for local management by providing useful information to direct cities toward a more sustainable development trajectory.

Published: December 2022

Abstract The umbu tree is an endemic species and is found in the Brazilian semi-arid. Umbu is highly appreciated for its socioeconomic importance and significant diversity of quality attributes. This study aims to explore the color-related variations between umbu matrices, and to evaluate the correlation between the main biometric attributes of quality. With this, 14 matrices were explored at the commercial ripening stage and submitted to colorimetric analysis (a*, b*, C* and L*) and determination of biometric parameters (fruit mass, length, width, shape, firmness, percentages of peel, seed, pulp, and yield). The colorimetric parameters were evaluated by the Scott-Knott mean test and dendrogram, and biometrics were submitted to linear correlation analysis. It was observed that in the peel green predominates, compared to the pulp, and the lowest luminosity indexes (L*) consist of the fruits with hairy peel. The saturation (C*) has a direct relationship with parameter b*; in addition, the dendrogram indicates the formation of four groups between the matrices. The correlation analysis of biometric parameters showed significant tendencies. Therefore, the results reinforce that the parameters evaluated can provide an important tool in selecting and quality control these fruits, since the required characteristics change according to their commercial purpose.

Published: December 2022

Abstract The objective of this work was to establish, through different diagnostic methods, nutrient reference values for ‘Prata-Anã’ banana in improved fertility soil. The study included a database from an experiment conducted in randomized block design, arranged in a 5 × 6 factorial scheme (five doses of K2O - 0; 200; 400; 600 and 800 kg ha-1, supplied by cattle manure and rock powder × six evaluations of leaf nutrition and yield – 210; 390; 570; 750; 930 and 1,110 days after planting), with three replicates, totaling 90 samples. The reference values were determined by the Sufficiency Range, Critical Level by the Reduced Normal Distribution, Boundary Line and Mathematical Chance methods. Plots with high yield, = 36.42 t ha-1 cycle-1, formed the reference population and plots with yield = 45.79 t ha-1 formed the reference subpopulation. The methods were efficient in determining the nutrient reference values of ‘Prata-Anã’ banana. In general, the values established are higher than those reported in the literature, justified by the greater chemical fertility of the soil. Among the diagnostic methods, the Mathematical Chance presented itself as the most accurate for interpreting the nutrient contents in the leaves of ‘Prata-Anã’ banana under improved soil fertility conditions.
Liming, fertilization and nutrition of star fruit trees: Review
Authors: Lima Neto Antonio João de , Santos Eduardo Maciel Haitzmann dos , Natale William , Rozane Danilo Eduardo
Published: December 2022

Abstract Star fruit is an exotic fruit, originally from the topical regions of Asia, which found in Brazil adequate climatic conditions for its development, making it a promising species for cultivation throughout the country. However, despite the favorable climate, soils in tropical regions are generally acidic and have low natural fertility. In addition, due to the perennial condition of the star fruit tree, its roots remain for several years exploring practically the same soil volume, which requires constant monitoring of soil fertility and the nutritional status of plants. Research results have proven that the star fruit tree is responsive to liming and fertilizer application, with productivity gains and improvements in fruit quality. However, to ensure positive responses and success in agricultural activity, it is necessary that soil acidity correctors and fertilizers are applied in a technical and efficient manner based on the use of well-established agronomic tools, such as soil and leaf analysis. This review aims to gather information from studies, mainly those carried out in Brazil, on the nutritional requirements of star fruit trees, suggesting the best agronomic practices of soil fertility and nutrition of this fruit tree.

RESUMO Introdução: a cirurgia de controle de danos (CCD) é estratégia bem definida de manejo cirúrgico para pacientes vítimas de trauma grave. A literatura sugere que as indicações, tempo operatório, medidas terapêuticas adotadas, alterações laboratoriais e achados transoperatórios apresentam impacto direto sobre o desfecho. Objetivo: analisar o perfil clínico-demográfico dos pacientes submetidos à CCD e identificar fatores preditivos de morbimortalidade na amostra. Métodos: coorte retrospectiva a partir da análise de prontuários de pacientes submetidos à CCD por trauma abdominal entre novembro de 2015 e dezembro de 2021. As variáveis analisadas incluíram dados demográficos, tempo da admissão, mecanismo do trauma, lesões associadas, escores de trauma, parâmetros laboratoriais, achados cirúrgicos, reposição volêmica e de hemoderivados, complicações pós-operatórias, tempo de internação e mortalidade. Para analisar os fatores de risco para mortalidade, foi utilizada análise de regressão logística binária. Resultados: no período, foram realizadas 696 laparotomias por trauma abdominal e destas, 8.9% (n=62) foram CCD, sendo mais de 80% por mecanismo penetrante. A mortalidade foi de 59.6%. Na regressão logística estratificada pela sobrevida, diversas variáveis foram associadas à mortalidade com significância estatística, incluindo hipotensão e alteração do estado mental à admissão, parada cardiorrespiratória no transoperatório, necessidade de toracotomia de reanimação, acidose metabólica, hiperlactatemia, coagulopatia, fibrinólise, gravidade dos escores de trauma e necessidade de hemoderivados. Conclusão: apesar da condução da estratégia de CCD em centro de trauma, a morbimortalidade ainda é elevada. A partir de parâmetros clínicos e laboratoriais pré e pós-operatórios, é possível predizer o risco de evolução para óbito na amostra estudada.

ABSTRACT Introduction: damage control surgery (DCS) is well recognized as a surgical strategy for patients sustaining severe abdominal trauma. Literature suggests the indications, operative times, therapeutic procedures, laboratory parameters and intraoperative findings have a direct bearing on the outcomes. Objective: to analyze the clinical profile of patients undergoing DCS and determine predictors of morbidity and mortality. Methods: a retrospective cohort study was conducted on all patients undergoing DCS following abdominal trauma from November 2015 and December 2021. Data on subjects’ demographics, baseline presentation, mechanism of injury, associated injuries, injury severity scores, laboratory parameters, operative details, postoperative complications, length of stay and mortality were assessed. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine potential risk factors for mortality. Results: During the study period, 696 patients underwent trauma laparotomy. Of these, 8.9% (n=62) were DCS, with more than 80% due to penetrating mechanisms. Overall mortality was 59.6%. In the logistic regression stratified by survival, several variables were significantly associated with mortality, including hypotension, and altered mental status at admission, intraoperative cardiorespiratory arrest, need for resuscitative thoracotomy, metabolic acidosis, hyperlactatemia, coagulopathy, fibrinolysis, and severity of the trauma injury scores. Conclusion: DCS may be appropriate in critically injured patients; however, it remains associated with significant morbidity and high mortality, even at specialized trauma care centers.

RESUMO O artigo fala sobre as viagens feitas em 1988 pelo economista laureado com o Nobel James Edward Meade à ilha de Utopia, um lugar perfeito para se participar. Depois de muito esforço, ele conseguiu encontrar a ilha Nowhere. No entanto, a caminho de casa, ele encontrou a ilha de Agathotopia, um bom lugar para as pessoas que não reivindicavam a perfeição para participar. Depois de estudar os arranjos sociais da Agathotopia, Meade voltou ao seu país convencido de que esses arranjos eram os melhores. atingir os objetivos de Liberdade, Igualdade e Eficiência. Na Agathotopia, existe muita flexibilidade de preços e salários, muita interação e parceria entre capital e trabalho e um dividendo social ou uma renda mínima garantida para todos os cidadãos. Meade propõe o dividendo social desde 1935, depois de interagir com muitos outros economistas que contribuem para a idéia de uma renda mínima garantida ou de diferentes formas de imposto de renda negativo. A proposta está sendo discutida no Congresso Nacional Brasileiro.
Emprego, inovação tecnológica e crescimento no Brasil: um resultado a partirda Matriz de Insumo-Produto
Authors: ACYPRESTE RAFAEL DE
Published: December 2022

RESUMO O debate sobre o desemprego tecnológico se acentua quando as inovações disruptivas ganham destaque, como é o caso recente da inteligência artificial. No entanto, tais análises frequentemente ignoram o crescimento econômico e a demanda agregada no tratamento do desemprego. Este artigo analisa o que vem acontecendo com os empregos no Brasil a partir da decomposição estrutural da Matriz Insumo-Produto. O que constatamos é que, com exceção da agricultura, os setores foram geradores de empregos de 2000 a 2015. Além disso, os ganhos de demanda foram capazes de compensar as perdas de empregos decorrentes do progresso tecnológico.
POLITICAL EQUALITY, EPISTOCRACY, AND EXPENSIVE TASTES
Authors: Edmundson William A.
Published: December 2022

Abstract Democracy and equality are different concepts. There are two fundamentally different ways of relating them. The first way defines democracy in terms of substantive political equality: the purest form of democracy is a regime in which each citizen (at any given level of aptitude and motivation) has equal influence over political decisions, regardless of the citizen’s wealth and other resources. The second way renders democracy as a device for assuring equality (or justice) by some measure external to the process by which political decisions are made. According to this second way, political equality -democracy’s defining trait on the first view- is at best of secondary importance. John Rawls is the most prominent exponent of the first way, and Ronald Dworkin and David Estlund of the second. This article explores the differences between the two ways, and concludes with the thought that the failure to appreciate how different they are contributes to our currrent democratic malaise.
PREDISTRIBUTION AND UNCONDITIONAL BASIC INCOME
Authors: Merril Roberto , Silva Pedro
Published: December 2022

Abstract The aim of this piece is to explore the relationship between unconditional basic income (UBI) and predistribution. It will do so by proceeding in the following steps. Firstly, we offer a characterisation of predistribution. Secondly, we will explore the extent to which the disbursement of an unconditional basic income is aligned with the objectives of predistribution. This piece will then seek to dispel concerns with unconditional basic income that are based on an alleged disincentive to work and on the inflationary risks of the policy. Finally, the paper will argue that UBI is a superior predistributive policy to the State as Employer of Last Resort (SELR).
O acidente da plataforma de petróleo Deepwater Horizon após 12 anos: análise com foco na dimensão coletiva do trabalho e nos fatores organizacionais

O acidente com a plataforma Deepwater Horizon, em 2010, é considerado o maior desastre do século no setor de óleo e gás. Esse evento teve como consequências 11 trabalhadores mortos, 17 feridos, perda total da unidade e maior desastre ambiental no Golfo do México (Estados Unidos). A literatura existente abarca seus impactos ambientais, químicos, biológicos e econômicos, concentrando-se nas causas imediatas, ou seja, situações próximas no tempo e no espaço do evento, em especial erros humanos e falhas técnicas. Tal abordagem se dá em detrimento da identificação de possíveis causas subjacentes, que remetem a fatores gerenciais e organizacionais. O objetivo deste ensaio é responder à pergunta: que fatores teriam contribuído para a ocorrência do desastre que acometeu a plataforma, considerando-se a relevância da dimensão coletiva do trabalho? Nosso aporte teórico-metodológico se baseia na ergonomia da atividade e na psicodinâmica do trabalho, valorizando também a condução sinérgica da relação entre os saberes das ciências e da experiência dos trabalhadores, como propõe a perspectiva ergológica. Foram identificadas falhas de decisão tomadas por quem se situa à ponta do processo, na operação de sistemas de alta complexidade, mas que não devem ser vistas como ponto de chegada, e sim de partida na análise de grandes acidentes. O entendimento de tais decisões demanda a compreensão das representações construídas pelos trabalhadores, inclusive em sua dimensão coletiva e compartilhada. A comunicação (ou lacunas de comunicação) entre os trabalhadores e fatores organizacionais no contexto do acidente são aspectos essenciais a serem considerados na análise de eventos que envolvem sistemas complexos.

Published: December 2022

Resumo Dados espacializados de precipitação diária são úteis para diversas aplicações relacionadas à meteorologia aplicada e à hidrologia, tais como a detecção de mudanças climáticas, estudo de inundações, e compreensão da interação do clima com os processos hidrológicos e biogeoquímicos. Contudo, cada espacialização da chuva deve ser avaliada para uma determinada região específica antes de sua ampla utilização. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho objetivou, para as bacias hidrográficas do sul do Espírito Santo (bioma Mata Atlântica), a avaliação de métodos de interpolação espacial, a criação de uma base de dados espaciais de precipitação diária em formato grid, e a comparação desta base com outras bases de dados de precipitação diária em formato grid. A avaliação dos interpoladores foi feita por meio de validação cruzada, na qual o método da Distância Angular Ponderada (ADW) apresentou melhor desempenho. A aplicação do ADW, para todos os dias do período entre 1980 e 2018, originou uma base de dados de precipitação diária em formato grid com resolução espacial de 0,01°. A base de dados criada teve desempenho semelhante à de XAVIER para a representação espacial das chuvas na região, sendo melhor que as demais avaliadas.

Resumo Estudo prospectivo e transversal, para determinar a prevalência de prejuízo cognitivo decorrente da quimioterapia e explorar fatores preditores e mediadores em sobreviventes de câncer de mama. Utilizou-se o Termômetro de Distress, Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-General e Cognitive Function. As sobreviventes (N = 62) reportaram uma alta prevalência de distress (46,8%) e de ansiedade (24,2%), com baixos escores nas subescalas déficit cognitivo e habilidades cognitivas percebidos. O funcionamento cognitivo esteve associado à idade (β = 1,42; p = 0,002), atuação profissional (β = -23,12; p = 0,004), depressão (β = -5,43; p = 0,001) e qualidade de vida (β = 1,24; p = 0,001). Prejuízo cognitivo deve ser considerado no serviço de Psico-Oncologia.
Pharmaceutical policies for gaining access to high-priced medicines: a comparative analysis between England and Brazil

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT Although the National Health Service (NHS) and the Unified Health System (SUS) are systems with similar universal principles, they can show different political measure patterns in the pharmaceutical field. This paper aimed to provide a comparative analysis of pharmaceutical policies highlighting strategies to guarantee access and sustainability to High-Price Medicines (HPMs) in Brazil and England. We performed an integrative literature review in electronic databases, supplemented by grey literature searched on governmental platforms (laws, decrees, ordinances, and resolutions). A total of Forty-seven articles and seven policies were selected and categorized for analysis. The results showed that both countries apply distinct policies to ensure access to HPMs, among them, policies to define price and reimbursement and actions to regulate the use inside the system. Also, these countries apply distinct policies to their sustainability as local partnerships for product development in Brazil and confidential managed agreements with multinational industries in the England. In conclusion, despite similarities in principles, these countries have been proposing and applying distinct pharmaceutical policies to maintain access and ensure the sustainability of their health systems.
Médici, Geisel e as origens da Política Nacional de Exportação de Material de Emprego Militar-Pnemem, 1973-1974: análise de política externa brasileira
Authors: Avila Carlos Federico Domínguez
Published: December 2022

Resumo: A partir de uma pesquisa com documentação recentemente desclassificada, o artigo discute a formação, continuidade e mudança da política brasileira de exportação de material de emprego militar - especialmente de grandes sistemas de armas ou major weapons. Constata-se um esforço dos atores para constituir uma mais efetiva vinculação entre a indústria de defesa, a exportação de armamento e a política externa brasileira. O processo de tomada de decisão em referência resultou na aprovação das diretrizes de uma Política Nacional de Exportação de Material de Emprego Militar-Pnemem, em 1974. Todavia, a aprovação desse mecanismo de controle e regulação de exportações coincidiu com o início de um importante ciclo de transferências de armamento que colocou o Brasil como um dos principais atores internacionais no assunto. Assim sendo, conclui-se que os estudos e pesquisas sobre política externa brasileira - especialmente na sua dimensão de segurança internacional e questões estratégicas contemporâneas - precisam avançar com novas análises fundamentadas em evidência primária, bem como nas perspectivas do institucionalismo, do nacional-desenvolvimentismo, da base industrial de defensa, e até da Guerra Fria Latino-americana.
