Ethiopian-Somali Conflict 1977—1978: According to US Central Intelligence Agency
Authors: Tukhvatullin R. R. , Kudashev U. N.
Published: May 2023

The analysis by the US Central Intelligence Agency of the military and political aspects of the Ogaden War (1977—1978) is considered. On the basis of declassified and published documents, the main issues related to the Somali-Ethiopian conflict that worried the CIA are revealed. It establishes the degree of awareness of the Office about certain events related to the war in the Ogaden, and also determines how successful the forecasts made during the conflict were. With the involvement of domestic, American, Ethiopian and Somali historiography, it is shown that the CIA, despite the lack of information, established certain facts quite accurately, but regularly made mistakes in their judgments about further events. The forecasts of the Office regarding a possible conflict between Ethiopia and Somalia in January — July 1977, which turned out to be correct only in small things or in obvious facts, are highlighted. It is shown that the CIA correctly identified the conflict potential in the region, but did not determine exactly where the war would begin. Regarding the role of the CIA in covering the fighting in the Ogaden in July 1977 — March 1978 it is noted that the Office was successful in identifying short-term trends, but did not establish long-term ones.

Published: May 2023

Background: Diseases caused by Aedes-borne viruses, such as; dengue, chikungunya, and Zika are emerging and re- emerging in different parts of the world. Tanzania has experienced several dengue outbreaks since 2010. The present study aims to determine the seroprevalence and associated symptoms of dengue and chikungunya fever in the Moshi rural district during the 2019 dengue outbreak. Methodology: A facility-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in 15 health facilities in the Moshi Rural district. A total of 397 participants with malaria-like symptoms were enrolled. Participants were screened for seropositivity towards dengue and chikungunya Immunoglobulin G and M (IgG and IgM) using ELISA-based kits. Results: Out of 397 participants, 28 (7.1 %) and 8 (2.0%) were dengue IgM and IgG positive respectively. Chikungunya IgM positives were 34 (8.6%). The most commonly reported symptoms were; headache 189 (27.7%), joint pains 132 (19.4%) and muscle pain 106 (15.5%). Factors such as being a farmer and history of travelling to outside regions was associated with dengue IgM seropositivity (p<.05). Conclusion: Aedes-borne illnesses appear to be endemic in the area, with IgG antibodies against the Chikungunya virus being more prevalent among study participants. These results provide an understanding of arboviral diseases as well as provide an early warning signal on the risk of transmission in north Tanzania. The results inform the allocation of local and national public health intervention to prevent future outbreaks.

Published: May 2023

Background: The Laboratory investigations are very important for reaching to definitive diagnosis of diseases orientation and thus enabling optimal patient management based on informed diagnoses. Decision, and these are very difficult to obtain in the absence of reference values. In many cases, laboratory diagnosis such as haematological analyses are dependent on pre-defined locally established reference values. Objective of the study: The objective of this study was to describe ranges of haematological reference values for healthy individuals attending Ruhengeri referral Hospital in Rwanda Methodology: The cross sectional study was carried out in Northern Province at Ruhengeri referral hospital from July 2018 to September 2018. Participants were 252 healthy individuals aged less than one year to 68 years. From each participant, 4mL of blood samples were collected using K3 EDTA containers, and then analysed by Sysmex XS-500i automated haematology analyser. Results: Haemoglobin levels varied with age and sex. The level decreased with the increasing age, and males had high haemoglobin level than females (15.69g/dL versus 14.46g/dL). Minimum mean values of haematological parameters for study participants were slightly on the high side with narrow confidence intervals compared to the Manufactured Sysmex values. Conclusion: The findings may be used to define normal haematological values for Rwandan population and help physicians to better define haematological abnormalities in patients.

Magyarország Cnephasia fajai (1.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Authors: Fazekas Imre
Published: May 2023

The present study aims to gather all the information available on the diagnosis of Cnephasia asseclana, C. chrysantheana species in Hungary, as a starting point for a subsequent paper on the dynamics of distribution limits. The information was mainly derived from lepidopterological collections and faunistic studies. Working with population samples of several taxa one obtains greater variety of information, both qualititative and quantitative. These observations raised at least two problems: (1) it was not possible to report data from localities where two or more species occur sympatrically, and when they could not be positively distinguished by means of morphological characters; (2) in 2010–2014 the author collected museum material from different localities of Hungary; detailed structure of male and female genitalia of several specimens from within the accepted range of nominal Cnephasia was studied, but this provided no quantitative data. Distribution maps of the species show the probable resident distribution area (grey), together with localities from which specimens have actually been examined (black dots). In text of the Hungarian distribution and phenology, detailed information is also included about flight period, biology including foodplants and habitat including the altitude range. Structure of genitalia and morphological characteristics of wings are illustrated with figures. Colour photographs and drawings of adults and genitalia of both sexes are provided for identification of each described species. Ample illustrations of differential features will facilitate identification. At present, 12 Cnephasia species are known from Hungary, and are included in the Checklist, together with the most important synonyms. The study series is intended for both amateurs and professionals as well as for those engaged in applied lepidopterology. With 24 figures.

Machine learning can appropriately classify the collimation of ventrodorsal and dorsoventral thoracic radiographic images of dogs and cats
Authors: Tahghighi Peyman , Appleby Ryan B. , Norena Nicole , Ukwatta Eranga , Komeili Amin
Published: May 2023

OBJECTIVES

To determine the feasibility of machine learning algorithms for the classification of appropriate collimation of the cranial and caudal borders in ventrodorsal and dorsoventral thoracic radiographs.

SAMPLES

900 ventrodorsal and dorsoventral canine and feline thoracic radiographs were retrospectively acquired from the Picture Archiving and Communication system (PACs) system of the Ontario Veterinary College.

PROCEDURES

Radiographs acquired from April 2020 to May 2021 were labeled by 1 radiologist in Summer of 2022 as either appropriately or inappropriately collimated for the cranial and caudal borders. A machine learning model was trained to identify the appropriate inclusion of the entire lung field at both the cranial and caudal borders. Both individual models and a combined overall inclusion model were assessed based on the combined results of both the cranial and caudal border assessments.

RESULTS

The combined overall inclusion model showed a precision of 91.21% (95% CI [91, 91.4]), accuracy of 83.17% (95% CI [83, 83.4]), and F1 score of 87% (95% CI [86.8, 87.2]) for classification when compared with the radiologist’s quality assessment. The model took on average 6 ± 1 second to run.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Deep learning-based methods can classify small animal thoracic radiographs as appropriately or inappropriately collimated. These methods could be deployed in a clinical setting to improve the diagnostic quality of thoracic radiographs in small animal practice.
Are small farms sustainable and technologically smart? Evidence from Poland, Romania, and Lithuania

Published: May 2023

Sustainable development of farms is determined by many factors and, in recent years, significance of modern technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) has been pointed out, especially in terms of beneficial effects on economic performance and natural resources. Therefore, there is a need to answer the question about the application of AI technologies in small-scale farms, especially those with a relatively high level of sustainability. In order to obtain the information, a survey in Poland, Romania and Lithuania was carried out. Among the respondents, the 20 most sustainable farms in each country were selected using the CRITIC-TOPSIS method. Next, in-depth interviews were conducted to explore attitudes, behaviour and knowledge of AI.. The results show that small-scale farms in selected countries do not apply artificial intelligence. Although owners recognise and appreciate the benefits of AI, they are not convinced to implement this technology in their own business, they are not completely uncritical about using AI tools in the practice. The main obstacles are: low level of knowledge, misconception of the price of innovation or lack of capital for buying more advanced technology, low interest in implementing innovative solutions due the small scale of production or habituation to traditional production methods.
Impact of financial constraints and financial distress on cash holdings
Authors: Bukalska Elżbieta , Maziarczyk Anna
Published: May 2023

The aim of the study is to examine the impact of financial constraints and financial distress on cash holdings, both in normal and crisis times. We collected the 4,406 firm-year observations of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). Our research shows that companies maintain higher cash holdings during a crisis than in a normal period. However, in contrast to our expectations, companies with financial difficulties (constraints and distress) have lower cash holdings both in normal and crisis times. The originality of our research lies in realizing that different sources of difficulties might overlap at the same time (external with internal). We also analyze how cash holdings react to a combined impact of difficulties of different natures (external and internal). We believe that cash holdings have recently increased their meaning as we face the situation of constant and increasing uncertainty: still ongoing COVID-19 crisis prolonged with Russian aggression on Ukraine and outburst of inflation.
Labor market effects of COVID-19 shocks
Authors: Frenkel Michael , Stadtmann Georg , Zimmermann Lilli
Published: May 2023

We study the impact of several Covid-19 related supply shocks. We use a standard wage setting-price setting model of the labor market and analyze the transmission of the shocks to the natural rate of unemployment and production. In a first step, the shocks are analyzed in a general way, graphically and algebraically. In a second step, numerical examples illustrate the effects on the real wage and the labor market equilibrium as well as output. Our theoretical results indicate that the negative supply shocks related to the Covid-19 pandemic are associated with a decline in the natural level of output and employment. Our results are supported by empirical evidence across various countries. However, limitations of the theoretical model can be considerable.
Nations Beyond Interests. Emotional and Cognitive Motives in the Development of National Identities
Authors: Kollai István
Published: May 2023

In mainstream academic discourse, the emergence of national identities has mostly been explained from a powerful modernist approach, claiming that nations, as we know them today, are modern and constructed phenomena. This implies that the spotlight of research has been on interest-based homogenization motives and how they can create mass loyalty as an efficient socio-cultural basis for political elites and capitalist markets. Nevertheless, attention might be slightly diverted from the possible emotional and cognitive motives of national identities. According to the conceptualization in this paper, interest-based motives can be paired with these emotional and intellectual motives, together constituting a generally relevant tripartite concept of national self-identification, where emotionality can be revealed through the “irrational” separatist feature of modern nationalisms, while cognitive motives are embodied in the expectations towards nations to offer intellectually defendable meaningful explanations about a collective origin and “our” place within the world. Without questioning the significance of means-end rationality behind the national homogenization processes, all of this points to a rather interrelated entanglement of motives where the development of the attitude of “belonging to a nation” is fueled not solely by interest, but emotional (“separatist”) motives and cognitive-intellectual (“historizing”) motives alike. As a result, we can establish a conceptual framework, not stressing the primacy of any of these motives within nationalisms, but instead focusing on the possible ways in which interest-based need for homogenization can collude with the emotional need of cultural boundary-making (separatism) as well as with the intellectual need for coherent explanations of state of affairs (historicism).

Published: May 2023

Autonomous off-grid systems might be seen as a favourable option when it comes to high grid connection fees and for a sustainable electric system in transition to a low-carbon, renewable-based decentralized system. To ensure such a system, accurate analysis of different scenarios is required to determine the optimal energy source mix and sizing of the off-grid system. Software computing techniques or mathematical models can help solve this task, but, unfortunately, it is unpredictable how actually such systems will perform in real life. There are not so many publications, where the real data and off-grid systems are analysed and compared to simulation results. Thus, this paper examines an experimental stand-alone electrical off-grid solution in Latvia. The operational data of real autonomous off-grid system are obtained for the off-grid system performance and control strategy analysis, which is highly relevant for the planning and dimensioning of affordable renewable off-grid systems.
Evaluation of Heat Pump Operation in a Single-Family House
Authors: Zajacs A. , Lebedeva K. , Bogdanovičs R.
Published: May 2023

Since decarbonization of the energy sector is among the top priorities in the EU, with ambitious targets of carbon neutrality until 2050, the energy efficiency of the building stock and the use of renewables are those directions, which can bring the most considerable input towards the achievement of these goals. However, it is not always obvious how to efficiently combine different aspects of low energy demand, availability of renewables, part load operation conditions etc.

The results of dynamic IDA ICE simulations highlight that the introduction of renewable low-carbon energy sources should be thoroughly coupled with building energy systems and only their full compatibility can give a high efficiency of the entire energy supply system of the building. Analysing simulation data, it was concluded that for low-energy buildings, heat pumps would not always show higher COP values, compared to buildings with higher energy demand.

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) will not always be more efficient than air source heat pump (ASHP). If the ground/groundwater temperature is lower than 10 °C, for GSHP it will be almost impossible to over-compete ASHP within the same system. While COP with radiators and underfloor heating differs only by 10 %, both for ASHP and GSHP.

Published: May 2023

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality among oncologic patients. As cancer therapies continue to evolve and advance, cancer survival rates have been increasing and so has the burden of cardiovascular disease within this population. For this reason, cardio-oncology plays an important role in promoting multidisciplinary care with the primary care provider, oncology, and cardiology. In this review, we discuss the roles of different providers, strategies to monitor patients receiving cardiotoxic therapies, and summarize cancer therapy class-specific toxicities. Continued collaboration among providers and ongoing research related to cardiotoxic cancer therapies will enable patients to receive maximal, evidence-based, comprehensive care.

Authors: TKACOVA Andrea , GAVUROVA Beata , MASLISOVA Maria
Published: May 2023

The relationship between the public sector size and economic growth is the subject of many discussions. Momentarily, the four elementary streams are defined, while the resulting impact depends on the monitored sample of the countries and the employed methodology. The aim of the paper was to identify the impact of the public sector size on the economic growth of the 27 EU countries in the period 1996 to 2021. The public sector size was quantified using four different variables as total public expenditure, total public revenue, tax revenue and final government consumption. Through panel regression, the negative impact of the public sector size on the economic growth of the EU countries was demonstrated in all four models, while the most significant negative impact was reached by the final government consumption. The significant negative impact of the crisis presence on the economic growth of the EU countries was also demonstrated. The EU countries should focus their activities there to diminish the public sector growth and to manage the structure of the government expenditures from the current to capital expenditures of an investment characteristic.

Authors: Afanasyeva V. V. , Potapchuk A. A.
Published: May 2023

The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the respiratory rehabilitation program for patients after a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 from the standpoint of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.

Methods and materials. A study of 59 patients who underwent a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 and were hospitalized after 2–3 months for a rehabilitation course was conducted on the basis of the Pavlov University in 2020–2022. The main group included 38 patients (12 men and 26 women), the comparison group consisted of 21 patients (14 men and 7 women). The program of respiratory rehabilitation of patients who underwent COVD-19 included therapeutic gymnastics (breathing exercises, restorative physical exercises, special strength-oriented physical exercises), Nordic walking and physiotherapy procedures. The program developed by us was implemented during 2 weeks of inpatient stay of patients. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the respiratory rehabilitation program for patients who underwent COVID-19 was carried out on the basis of GOST R 57960 – 2017 “Evaluation of the results of rehabilitation services”.

Results. Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of rehabilitation in both groups according to GOST R 57960 – 2017 “Evaluation of the results of rehabilitation services”, the sum of individual indicators in patients of the main group was 84.7 points, the average score was 2.2. The sum of individual indicators in patients of the comparison group was 25.4 points, the average score was 1.2. Thus, the effectiveness of respiratory rehabilitation of patients of the main group according to GOST – excellent, in patients of the comparison group – satisfactory.

Conclusions. The ICF categories have been formed, which allow us to provide objective information about the condition of patients who have undergone a new coronavirus infection in moderate and severe forms. A program of respiratory rehabilitation has been developed, including classes in breathing exercises, restorative physical exercises, special strength-oriented physical exercises, Nordic walking, and physiotherapy procedures. The effectiveness of respiratory rehabilitation of patients of the main group can be recognized as excellent.

Effect of Fe2O3 Nanoparticles Dust on the D.C Plasma Characteristics with Mirror Magnetron
Authors: Abdulghani Shahad Emaduldeen , Abbas Qusay A.
Published: May 2023

In this paper, the effect of iron oxide nanoparticles dust (Fe2O3 NPs) on the parameters of DC electric discharge plasma under vacuum in argon gas was studied with the presence of a mirror magnetron behind the electrodes (cathode and anode) at constant pressure and with different amounts of Fe2O3 nanoparticles. Calculations presented a reduction of the plasma emission intensity with the NPs content. Both the plasma density (calculated by Stark's broadening method) and the mean electron temperature (calculated using Boltzmann's equation) decreased with increasing the Fe2O3 nanoparticles dust content, which indicates clearly the effect of dust density on restricting the movement of charge carriers, which in turn reduces inelastic plasma collisions.

Recommendations for improvement for the failure mode "Too long during processing fermentation in the proofing machine" means that the proofing machine is given an alarm so that when the dough enters the machine and performs fermentation, the workers immediately set an alarm and wait for the alarm to sound and the recommendation for improvement for the failure mode "Unclean equipment" is to make a more regular schedule for cleaning the pan.
“The Gates” at Our Gates: F.R. (Hamish) Berchem and the Role of the Eastern Based Porte-class Gate Vessels after Canadian Armed Forces Unification
Authors: Zimmerman George L. , Crerar Duff
Published: May 2023

Faced with near extinction after the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968, the Naval Reserve community had to prove its relevance in the era of nuclear missile exchange. A few officers took it upon themselves to demonstrate that the Naval Reserve could make significant contributions to the sea defence of Canada. The main training sea going platforms were the dowdy trawler designed Porte-class gate vessels. Referencing, primarily, the extensive fonds of the officer in charge, a naval reservist, Commander F.R. Berchem, this article chronicles the sea going training and operations of the gate vessels on the East Coast and Great Lakes from 1971 to 1975. The work of like-minded reserve commanders and their crews in the gate vessels was vital in preserving the sea-going capability of the citizen sailors of Canada during this difficult decade. Confrontée à la quasi-disparition après l’unification des Forces armées canadiennes en 1968, la communauté de la Réserve navale a dû se montrer pertinente à l’ère des échanges de missiles nucléaires. Quelques officiers ont pris l’initiative de prouver que la Réserve navale pouvait contribuer de façon importante à la défense maritime du Canada. Les principals plateformes de formation océaniques étaient les bâtiments de barrière de la classe Porte conçus comme chalutiers peu élégants. S’appuyant principalement sur le vaste fonds du commandant F.R. Berchem, officier responsable et member de la Réserve navale, cet article relate la formation et les opérations en haute mer des bâtiments de barrière sur la côte Est de 1971 à 1975. Les travaux des commandants de la Réserve et de leurs équipages à bord des bâtiments de barrière étaient indispensables au maintien de la capacité océanique des citoyens marins du Canada au cours de cette décennie difficile.

Resultados: Utilizando o cruzamento entre os DeCS “Educação Permanente” and “Aprendizagem significativa'' and “Saúde”, foram encontrados 2380 periódicos, destes 1295 na base de dados LILACS e 896 SCIELO. Porém, apenas 11 artigos estavam de acordo os critérios de inclusão estabelecidos acima, sendo destes 9 (81,81%) da base de dados LILACS e 2 (18,19%) da base SCIELO. Discussões: A leitura da produção científica encontrada, possibilitou identificar que há ainda ausência quanto a discussões sobre o campo da aprendizagem significativa dentro da EPS, no sentido de identificar os conceitos da aprendizagem e seus desdobramentos para a formação no campo da saúde. Essa lacuna dialoga com a necessidade de pensarmos na formação dos profissionais para além das questões técnicas e/ou relacionadas ao conteúdo, mas da formação para a aprendizagem e da criação de espaços cotidianos criativos onde o aprender e o ensinar são ferramentas perceptíveis do processo de trabalho. Conclusão: Esta pesquisa possibilitou visualizar que há ainda um espaço importante de diálogo que precisa ser construído entre os marcos metodológicos, referentes ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem engendrados na PNEPS e seus desdobramentos nas ações, considerando que para que haja a aprendizagem é preciso compreender de que maneira ela ocorre, como ocorre e como pode ser significativa.

Sendo assim, o levantamento de informações indica que o uso da tecnologia é benéfico aos usuários dos sistemas de saúde.
Linguistic aspect of information wars in mass media discourse
Authors: Lobanova Tatiana Nikolaevna , Sivova Daria
Published: May 2023

Recently the process of active informatization of society and globalization of the world information space has been observed. The consequence of this process is different kids of Information Wars, where the mass media plays the main and the most important role. The immersion of an increasing part of humanity into the virtual world of media in the age of digitalization generates a high demand for the creation of information and cyber warfare. If the main tool of the information war is the media, then the main tool of the media is language. The subject of the study is the language functioning in the mechanisms of information wars. The main content of the research is the analysis of the concept of "information war" from a linguistic point of view. Theoretical analysis of literature, media linguistic analysis, methods of critical linguistics, etc. are used as research methods. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that it is a media linguistic study involving foreign scientific concepts (English), untranslated and unpublished in Russian. The article provides a number of clarifications and additions to the existing theories of information warfare with the involvement of linguistic and political science textures. A systematic, versatile and detailed description of the current state and changes that have occurred in linguistics over the past ten years in the light of the conceptualization of the phenomenon of "information war" is presented. Based on the results of the study, the concept of information warfare in mass media discourse is revealed, and a comprehensive method for studying this phenomenon is proposed.
Harnessing Capacity in Southern Africa to Support and Develop Human Resources for Nursing and Midwifery in Africa – Part 2: Case Studies from the DRC and Mozambique
Authors: Bruce Judith , Mboya Mzobanzi , Roets Lizeth
Published: May 2023

Human resources for health has been the centre of attention for many decades as more African countries fail to meet health targets even though there is no shortage of country-specific policies and strategies to improve these resources. The WHO Africa region has a critical shortage of nurses and midwives, which will remain unresolved as long as funding and policy implementation challenges persist. In the interim, the profession itself must find innovative and collaborative ways to make inroads into the nursing shortages – specifically in areas where advanced clinical skills are needed. Harnessing capacity from within universities in southern Africa is posited as one of the ways to bolster the education of nurses and midwives. Presented in part 1, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development project aimed to increase the number and enhance the quality of postgraduate education and clinical training of nurses and midwives to improve the quality of healthcare services with particular reference to the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality rates. In fulfilling this aim, clinical master’s programmes were developed and implemented in seven African countries. In this article, we chose illustrative case studies to describe the master’s programme design and roll-out, in line with the health profile of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Mozambique. We explain the programme electives, enrolments and throughput, including outputs and outcomes. From experiences gained and lessons learnt, we extrapolate implications for future cases that employ pan-African and south-to-south university partnerships.
REVISITANDO O ODS 1 PÓS PANDEMIA

Published: May 2023

A pobreza representa um problema multidimensional de cunho mundial, de modo que já não são de hoje as discussões e o estabelecimento de metas, objetivos e índices para a sua erradicação. Nesse contexto, já desde o ano 2000 fala-se a nível ONU em erradicação da pobreza mundial, destacando-se a elaboração dos 8 objetivos do milênio, que foram aprimorados no ano de 2015 com a elaboração dos 17 ODS, destacando-se especialmente o primeiro destes. Contudo, 5 anos após a publicação o mundo passa a vivenciar um problema geral não previsto: a pandemia do COVID-19, que além de todos os problemas sanitários naturais, desencadeia tantos outros sociais, econômicos e políticos, agravando situações de desigualdade social e pobreza em todo mundo. Nesse contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo geral de pesquisa verificar o papel das políticas econômicas estatais no alcance do Objetivo do Desenvolvimento Sustentável 1, em especial após as realidades sociais desencadeadas pela pandemia da COVID-19. Sendo dividido em 3 partes, seu produto utilizou do método indutivo de pesquisa, no qual partiu-se de ideias particulares: erradicação da pobreza mundial e ODS1, realidade pós pandemia da COVID-19, economia mista, papel do Estado e das políticas econômicas estatais para a erradicação da pobreza; para se chegar a ideia geral da pesquisa sobre o papel das políticas econômicas estatais para erradicação da pobreza em especial neste contexto pós pandemia da COVID-19. A pesquisa foi operacionalizada pelas técnicas do referente, da categoria, dos conceitos operacionais, da pesquisa bibliográfica e do fichamento. Este estudo foi financiado em parte pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – Brasil (CAPES) – Código de financiamento 001, com apoio do PROGRAMA DE EXCELÊNCIA ACADÊMICA – PROEX, bem como em pela bolsa de Pós-Doutorado CAPES da primeira autora.
ANÁLISE CRÍTICA DAS FUNÇÕES CONTRAMAJORITÁRIA, REPRESENTATIVA E ILUMINISTA DO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL (STF) À LUZ DA DOUTRINA DA EFETIVIDADE
Authors: Fernandes de Souza Allain Teixeira João Paulo , Matias Lobo Julio Cesar , Deocleciano Pedro Rafael
Published: May 2023

O artigo pretende realizar uma abordagem das funções contramajoritária, representativa e iluminista do Suprema Corte a que se refere a doutrina da efetividade do ministro Barroso ao afiançar uma pretensa potencialidade de ingerência do STF nas mais variadas questões da política. A função jurisdicional se coloca numa posição de mediadora da realização das promessas constitucionais, tensionando a relação entre as funções do Estado. Procura-se investigar as mudanças ocorridas na jurisdição constitucional após a metade do século XX, bem como a superação ou não do positivismo jurídico pelo pós-positivismo, e se este pode ser aceito como paradigma jusfilosófico do novo Direito Constitucional, hábil a embasar a judicialização da política, o ativismo judicial, as funções contramajoritária, representativa e iluminista do STF. Após demonstrar a superação do modelo de Estado Liberal pelo Constitucional do Pós-Guerra, entende-se que não houve a superação do positivismo jurídico pelo pós-positivismo. Há, na verdade, uma compreensão equivocada dos fenômenos da judicialização da política e do ativismo judicial, que nunca pretenderam conferir ao Judiciário funções outras que não a contramajoritária, mas que não pode ser exercida a partir de  argumentos morais, pelo simples fato de que a ideia de pretensão de correção do sistema jurídico é incompatível com o sistema jurídico e com a ideia de democracia. A pesquisa se utilizará da revisão bibliográfica, legislativa e jurisprudencial sobre o assunto, valendo-se de obras da Teoria do Direito, da Filosofia Política e do Direito Constitucional contemporâneo, vislumbrando uma análise dialética sobre a atuação do STF em relação ao sistema democrático.
DE NAZARÉ PARA SÉ
Authors: Bitar Helder Fadul , Reymão Ana Elizabeth Neirão
Published: May 2023

O Círio de Nazaré é considerado, pela UNESCO, patrimônio cultural imaterial da humanidade e consiste na maior procissão da religião católica em todo mundo, realizada todo segundo domingo de outubro na cidade de Belém, capital do Pará. O objetivo desse artigo é discutir sua contribuição para a cultura e efetivação do direito ao desenvolvimento no estado. Desenvolvimento é aqui entendido à luz dos ensinamentos de Celso Furtado, para quem as reflexões sobre o tema requerem uma compreensão sobre mudança social, com atendimento a necessidades básicas humanas. Mostra-se que o Círio é um exemplo de importante evento para a construção do desenvolvimento, com inclusão social, inovação e valorização da diversidade cultural do país e, por isso, muito relevante que políticas públicas sejam para ele implementadas, contribuindo para a efetivação do direito ao desenvolvimento
FILTRO BOLHA E BIG NUDGING
Authors: Farage da Costa Felipe Bruno , Mulholland Caitlin
Published: May 2023

O presente artigo trabalha com a hipótese de que há uma correlação atual – embora possa parecer inicialmente estranha ou distante– entre os seguintes conceitos: democracia, Inteligência Artificial (I.A), big data e machine learning. Sustenta que a democracia – no que tange à participação política nas escolhas do Estado – é frontalmente impactada, hoje, por dois grandes fatores tecnológicos: a) a ideia de filtro bolha, conceito criado para delimitar o resultado proveniente da atuação dos algoritmos que são utilizados nas atividades online para personalizar o conteúdo apresentado ao usuário a partir de suas atividades; e b) por meio do Big Nudging, termo cunhado para definir a combinação de técnicas de nudging – arquitetura da escolha – com as ferramentas de big data, na qual os perfis dos cidadãos são coletados, construídos e utilizados como diretrizes para a elaboração de políticas governamentais públicas e manipulação ideológica. Ademais, defende que embora a tecnologia possa ser uma eventual ameaça para a participação política, existe um ponto positivo relevante, residente na aproximação das esferas participativas por meio dos recursos das redes sociais. No que tange à metodologia, os objetivos são explorados a partir do método indutivo, de maneira descritiva e explicativa, pautando-se precipuamente em textos bibliográficos e pesquisas sobre a temática.
