Simulation model of oscillations of the “sun gear – satellites” pair of turboprop engine planetary reduction gearbox in the presence of defects of tooth flanks
Authors: Kryuchkov A. N. , Plotnikov S. M. , Sundukov E. V. , Sundukov A. E.
Published: January 2020

Defects of planetary reduction gearboxes of turboprop engines often cause excitation of high-frequency oscillations that bring about failures of compressor structural elements. The vibration behavior of these reduction grarboxes is a broadband process with the presence of a large quantity of vibration components, which significantly complicates the search for informative diagnostic indicators of defects. In order to simplify the procedure of identifying the vibrations caused by defects of toothed gearing a simulation model of the vibration behavior of a turboprop engine differential gear unit is proposed. The model takes into account kinematics and design of the gearbox, determines the structure of its vibration behavior in the presence of defects on the tooth flanks. Using the example of a commonly occurring defect in the form of wear of the teeth of the solar gear satellites pair the adequacy of the model to the actual vibration behavior of the mechanism is shown.

Published: January 2020

Monoclonal antibodies linked to paramagnetic immunobeads (Dynabeads) have been used to investigate the distribution of lamin B3 in fractions of Xenopus egg extracts. Lamin B3 behaved as if it were completely soluble and did not co-precipitate with membrane fractions. Sperm pronuclei assembled in lamin depleted egg extracts were compared to pronuclei assembled in mock depleted extracts by field emission in-lens electron scanning microscopy (FEISEM). This technique revealed that the surface structures of the nuclear envelopes, including nuclear pores, appeared to be identical, indicating that lamin depletion does not affect nuclear envelope assembly. One-dimensional and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to analyze soluble proteins co-precipitated with lamin B3 on Dynabeads. Our results indicate that two major species (molecular mass: 105 kDa and 57 kDa) specifically co-precipitate with lamin B3 as well as several minor species. At least three proteins which co-precipitate with lamin B3 were identified as nuclear matrix proteins. Lamin B3 was separated from these proteins and re-inoculated into lamin depleted extracts. This resulted in partial rescue of both lamina assembly and DNA replication. These results imply that lamin B3 is directly involved in the assembly of structures required for the initiation of DNA replication.
Structural domains of plant nuclear DNA as a constitutive component of the topoisomerase II/DNA complex.
Authors: Solovyan V T , Andreyev I O
Published: January 2020

The treatment of agarose embedded plant nuclei by strong protein denaturants was demonstrated to result in discrete self-fragmentation of intact nuclear DNA. The set of resultant DNA cleavage products involves two main types of DNA fragments sized about 50-100 kb and 300-500 kb, being of the same type in various eukaryotic representatives. The pattern of ordered DNA fragmentation has been shown to be similar both in intact nuclei and in histone-depleted ones thus suggesting that the observed DNA fragments represent preexisting DNA structural domains, corresponding to the higher levels of chromatin folding. The topoisomerase II-specific poison teniposide (VM-26) has been shown to increase the ordered DNA cleavage while the conditions stimulating the topoisomerase II-mediated reverse reaction lead to the reassociation of the cleaved DNA domains. The data presented suggest that the nuclear DNA structural domains are involved in functioning of the topoisomerase II/DNA complex, the main property of which is its ability to mediate the cleavage/reassociation reactions.
Identification of the proteins responsible for SAR DNA binding in nuclear matrix of Cucurbita pepo.
Authors: Rzepecki R , Markiewicz E , Szopa J
Published: January 2020

The nuclear matrices from White bush (Cucurbita pepo var. patisonina) cell nuclei have been isolated using three methods: I, standard procedure involving extraction of cell nuclei with 2 M NaCl and 1% Triton X-100; II, the same with pre-treatment of cell nuclei with 0.5 mM CuSO4 (stabilisation step); and III, method with extraction by lithium diiodosalicylate (LIS), and compared the polypeptide pattern. The isolated matrices specifically bind SAR DNA derived from human beta-interferon gene in the exogenous SAR binding assay and in the gel mobility shift assay. Using IgG against the 32 kDa endonuclease we have found in the DNA-protein blot assay that this protein is one of the proteins binding SAR DNA. We have identified three proteins with molecular mass of 65 kDa, 60 kDa and 32 kDa which are responsible for SAR DNA binding in the gel mobility shift assay experiments.
Modulation of some nuclear matrix enzymatic activities by free fatty acids.
Authors: Lubocka J , Szopa J , Kozubek A
Published: January 2020

It was shown that two of main enzymatic activities of plant nucleus and nuclear matrix, namely RNA-polymerasic and DNA-nucleolytic are susceptible to modulation with free fatty acids. The effects observed were dependent to both fatty acid length and degree of unsaturation. In nuclei a stimulation of nuclease activity was observed whereas in matrices short chain fatty acids inhibited the studied activity. The effect of fatty acids on RNA-polymerase was also different in nuclei and matrices. In nuclei all fatty acids studied inhibited polymerasic activity whereas in matrices short chain fatty acids stimulated this activity by up to 80% and the long chain fatty acids inhibited by up over 70%. The overall alteration of studied activities in nuclei and matrices by unsaturated fatty acids was similar. Nucleolytic activity was stronger inhibited and polymerasic activity was stimulated when the effects of linoleic and linolenic acids were studied. The results suggest possible importance of lipid component in nuclear matrix biological function.
Cloning and characterization of the 5' part of the high molecular weight transcript of rat DNA polymerase beta.
Authors: Konopiński R , Nowak R , Siedlecki J A
Published: January 2020

A rat brain cDNA library has been constructed. Three identical clones of about 2.2 kb representing high molecular weight DNA polymerase beta transcript were found. Sequencing proved our earlier suggestion that both high and low molecular weight DNA polymerase beta transcripts have the same open reading frame and differ mainly at the 3' end. Because of that, alternative polyadenylation is discussed as a possible mechanism for tissue- and development-specific regulation of the DNA polymerase beta gene expression.

Authors: DİKBAŞ Fatih , GÜNER BACANLI Ülker
Published: January 2020

The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) has been recognized as the standard index that should be used for quantifying and reporting meteorological drought. This study aims to present the application of the two-dimensional correlation method for determining the spatial and temporal variability of drought among the SPI series. Heatmaps were used as a new way of visualizing SPI series which enables visual inspection of dry and wet periods. The developed method was applied on 13 meteorological stations in Central Anatolia. Significant variations in drought behaviour were found in the investigated region even for the stations close to each other.
Wavelet Packet-Genetic Programming: A New Model for Meteorological Drought Hindcasting
Authors: DANANDEH MEHR Ali , SAFARI Mir Jafar Sadegh , NOURANI Vahid
Published: January 2020

This study presents developing procedures and verification of a new hybrid model, namely wavelet packet-genetic programming (WPGP) for short-term meteorological drought forecast. To this end, the multi-temporal standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) has been used as the drought quantifying parameter at two meteorological stations at Ankara province, Turkey. The new WPGP model comprises two main steps. In the first step, the wavelet packet, which is a generalization of the well-known wavelet transform, is used to decompose the SPEI series into deterministic and stochastic sub-signals. Then, classic genetic programming (GP) is applied to formulate the deterministic sub-signal considering its effective lags. To characterize the stochastic component, different theoretical probability distribution functions were assessed, and the best one was selected to integrate with the GP-evolved function. The efficiency of the new model was cross-validated with the first order autoregressive (AR1), GP, and random forest (RF) models developed as the benchmarks in the present study. The results showed that the WPGP is a robust model, superior to AR1 and RF, and significantly increases the predictive accuracy of the standalone GP model.

Published: January 2020

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the optical properties of Zolid FX, Katana UTML, and lithium disilicate laminate veneers.
Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro experimental study, the maxillary left lateral incisor of a phantom received a laminate veneer preparation. An impression was made, and a die was fabricated using dental stone. The die was scanned using a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing scanner. Ten dies were fabricated from each of the A1, A2, and A3 shades of composite resin. Laminate veneers were fabricated using A1 shade of Katana UTML, Zolid FX, and IPS e.max CAD ceramics (n=10) and placed on composite abutments using bleach and white colors of trial insertion paste (TIP). The optical properties were measured at the incisal, middle, and cervical thirds using a spectrophotometer. Data were analyzed using three-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s test.
Results: The effect of laminate material on the L*, a*, and b* parameters was significant in all areas (P<0.001), except for the L* parameter in the middle and cervical thirds. All color parameters were affected by TIP color in all three regions in most samples (P<0.05). The effect of composite abutment shade was also significant in most cases (P<0.05). The effect of laminate material, abutment shade, and TIP color on the b* parameter was significant (P<0.001). The L* parameter was almost the same in the two zirconia and lithium disilicate ceramic groups.
Conclusion: The composite abutment shade, TIP color, and laminate material should be carefully selected to achieve optimal aesthetics in laminate veneers.

Published: January 2020

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the shear bond strength (SBS) of molar tubes to the enamel surface of molar teeth using a resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) cement modified with amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP).
Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro study, 60 extracted human third molars were randomly divided into four groups for bonding of molar tubes to the enamel surface. Fuji Ortho LC and Fuji Ortho LC modified with ACP (1.55 wt%) were used in groups 1 and 2, respectively. In group 3, the enamel surface was sandblasted, and bonding was then performed using Fuji Ortho LC glass ionomer modified with ACP. In group 4, molar tubes were conventionally bonded using Transbond XT composite. The SBS was measured using a universal testing machine.
Results: The mean SBS of groups 1 to 4 was 10.22, 6.88, 9.4, and 13.68 MPa, respectively. Only the SBS of group 1 was not significantly different from that of groups 3 and 4 (P>0.05). Comparison of adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores of the groups revealed significant differences only between groups 1 and 4 (P<0.001) and between groups 1 and 2 (P=0.002).
Conclusion: The results revealed that the addition of ACP to Fuji Ortho LC significantly decreased the SBS of molar tubes bonded to enamel compared to the conventional resin bonding system. Sandblasting of the enamel surface significantly increased the bond strength. Fuji Ortho LC modified with ACP is recommended for bonding of molar tubes to posterior teeth considering its cariostatic property.

Published: January 2020

Objectives: Color change of cements over time can be detected through translucent ceramic veneers, compromising the aesthetic appearance of restorations in the long-term. This study aimed to assess the color stability of ceramic laminate veneers cemented with self-adhesive resin cements after accelerated aging.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 21 IPS e.max ceramic discs, measuring 8mm in diameter and 0.7 mm in thickness, were fabricated and divided into three groups (n=7) for the application of Choice 2 total-etch light-cure resin cement, RelyX U200 dual-cure self-adhesive resin cement, and SpeedCEM self-cure self-adhesive resin cement. The ceramic discs in each group were cemented on the prepared facial surface of bovine teeth. The color parameters were assessed using a spectrophotometer. Subsequently, the samples were subjected to accelerated aging for 100 hours, and the color parameters were measured again. The data were analyzed using two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tamhane’s post-hoc test (P<0.05).
Results: Aging significantly affected the ceramic laminate color parameters in all three groups (P<0.05). SpeedCEM cement showed the lowest color stability (∆E=4.2) after aging, and its color change was clinically unacceptable (∆E>3.5). The color change of the other two groups was clinically acceptable (1<∆E<3.5).
Conclusion: The self-adhesive dual-cure cement showed color stability comparable to that of the total-etch light-cure cement for cementation of IPS e.max ceramic laminates. The color stability of both cements was superior to that of the self-adhesive self-cure cement.

Authors: Sohrabi Akhkand Shadi , Seidi Jamal , Ebadi Abbas , Ghanei Gheshlagh Reza
Published: January 2020

Background & Aim: Pressure ulcer (PU) is a costly, painful, and often a preventable problem with varying prevalence in different health centers. PU is associated with prolonged length of stay and mortality. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the prevalence of PU in Iran’s intensive care units (ICUs).
Methods & Materials: In this research, 9 articles published in Persian and English were studied. National (Science Information Database (SID) and Magiran) and international databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched using the keywords of pressure ulcers, bedsore, pressure sore, decubitus ulcer, pressure injury, Iran, and all of the possible combinations without time limitations.
Results: The total prevalence of PU in Iran’s ICUs was 19.59% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 13.15-25.97). The prevalence of PU in region 1 of the country (Alborz, Tehran, Qazvin, Mazandaran, Semnan, Golestan, and Gom) was 28.55% (95% CI: 12.27-44.84), and it was 10.31 (95% CI: 3.88-16.75) in other areas of the country. Meta-regression results showed a significant relationship between the prevalence of PU and the mean age of the patients (P=0.012) as well as the study sample size (P=0.043).
Conclusion: We found that the overall prevalence of PU in Iran’s ICUs was relatively high. Considering the high prevalence of PU in Iranian ICUs, it seems necessary to investigate and implement effective interventions to control and reduce this problem.

Published: January 2020

Background & Aim: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevalence is increasing, and this disease has become a crisis for the modern world. Today, the survival of patients has been increased, such that HIV is considered a chronic disease. So, Paying attention to health-promoting intervention is necessary. Thus, the current study aims to determine the effect of educating lifestyle based on the Pender model on health-promoting behaviors in HIV patients.
Methods & Materials: In this randomized clinical trial study, 70 HIV patients who had inclusion criteria were selected and then divided into intervention and control groups randomly. The intervention group received 6 one-hour education sessions weekly based on Pender lifestyle (nutrition, physical activity, stress management, spiritual growth, interpersonal relationships, and health responsibility). A demographic questionnaire and HPLP2 were used, which were completed by both groups before the intervention and 8 weeks after the intervention. Chi-Square, Fisher, Independent t, and ANCOVA statistical tests and SPSS 16 software were used to analyze data.
Results: results showed that there was no significant difference in various dimensions of health-promoting lifestyle between two groups before intervention. However, intervention group scores for nutrition (28.08±6.23 vs. 23.58±6.04), physical activity (22.26±6.46 vs. 16.39±6.09), stress management (25.03±5.14 vs. 19.96±6.41), spiritual growth (29.49±6.11 vs. 25.45±8.54), interpersonal relationships (29.17±6.14 vs. 23.11±7.45) and health responsibility (28.36±6.06 vs. 23.89±5.74) were significantly higher than control group 8 weeks after intervention. Moreover, the total score of health-promoting behaviors had a significant difference in the intervention group compared to the control group (166.7±28.43 vs. 134.5±35.68, p<0.001).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be said that educating lifestyle based on the Pender model causes HIV patients to use health-promoting behaviors, which are recommended as a useful theory-based program for managers and providers of health services.

Authors: Hagh Mohammadi-Pasand Samaneh , Farnam Farnaz , Damghanian Maryam
Published: January 2020

Background & Aim: Intrauterine device and depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate are among the most effective reversible contraception in the world, still few consensuses exist about sexual and mood changes of these two conventional methods. The present study has compared the sexual satisfaction and depression level in these two methods.
Methods & Materials: A cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2017 and January 2018, in 300 married women aged 19-50 year, in Tehran, Iran. One hundred and fifty IUD users and 150 DMPA consumers, 12-18 months after starting the current method, recruited to the study from 34 health centers of Tehran University of Medical Sciences by convenience sampling. Two standard questionnaires of Index of sexual satisfaction (ISS) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) were used for assessing sexual satisfaction and depression, respectively. Chi-square and independent t-test were used for the homogeneity of the two groups. The linear logistic regression analysis was conducted to estimate the strength of associations.
Results: There was not any significant difference between two groups in demographic characteristics such as age, marriage duration, education level, number of children and breastfeeding condition (P>0.05). Significantly higher sexual satisfaction (P<0.001) and lower depression level (P<0.001) reported in IUD users than DMPA consumers in the t-test. A multivariate regression confirmed that sexual satisfaction increased 6.4 scores in the IUD group in comparison to DMPA users (P= 0.003, B= -6.4), and with increase 1 year to duration of the marriage, sexual satisfaction increase 0.33 score. For depression, the only significant variable was the contraceptive methods, and depression level increase 1.24 scores in DMPA users than IUD consumers. (P=0.006, B= - 1.24). Although in univariate analysis, some variables showed effects on sexual satisfaction and depression, multivariate regression results did not confirm any significant relationships.
Conclusion: Both sexual satisfaction and mood level was higher among IUD users. This paper reconfirmed that IUD is a preferable method in women who are eligible to use both methods.

Published: January 2020

Introduction: The prevalence of HIV/AIDS is alarmingly increasing. Considering the experiences of HIV/AIDS-positive patients, experiences of the women who took HIV/AIDS from their husbands –marital relationships- can be different. The purpose of this study was to describe the challenges of these women.
Methods: This qualitative study was conducted using focus group discussions with 10 women who took HIV/AIDS from their husbands. All interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed by thematic analysis.
Results: Data analysis showed that participants experienced a kind of compulsive social isolation. They could not interact with anyone except their parents. They suffered from social stigma because the disease is associated with the illicit sex label. From data analysis, three main themes of fear, marital despondency, and stigma emerged.
Conclusion: The concerns and challenges of women who took HIV/AIDS from their marital relationships revealed that these women were exposed to the social strains because of having HIV / AIDS and stigma of illegitimate sexual relationships. In this regard, public awareness should be raised about this disadvantaged group of the community. To hit this target, individuals should be provided with the required information through schools as well as broadcasting and social media. Implementation of the counseling visits can create  psychological and social support for these traumatized group and their families.

O Direito À Liberdade De Amor Homossexual: Da Interdição Moral Do Desejo À Proclamação De Um Efetivo Direito Fundamental
Authors: Hogemann Edna Raquel , Souza Thiago Serrano Pinheiro de
Published: January 2020

Procura estabelecer os fundamentos éticos para que o desejo seja recepcionado, respeitado e tutelado pelo ordenamento jurídico em detrimento de uma pretensa moral vigente, a partir de uma leitura principiológica da Constituição Federal de 1988 e da própria estruturação do ser como humano. Desse pressuposto, o desejo (homo)sexual deverá ser exercido com liberdade por sujeitos capazes, existindo, pois, um direito à liberdade de amor (afeto) homossexual como norma de personalidade (atributo que compõe a esfera íntima do humano) e norma fundamental (liberdade de exercício contra ingerências indevidas do Estado e de outros cidadãos). Do ponto de vista metodológico, trata-se de estudo reflexivo de feição dialética apoiada em fontes doutrinárias e jurisprudencial, com suporte interdisciplinar teórico em Foucault e Freud.
Os Direitos Humanos Sob O Prisma Da Fraternidade: Tolerar E Integrar São Sinônimos?
Authors: Silva Adriano Fábio Cordeiro da , Sobrinho Adelgício de Barros Correia
Published: January 2020

O presente artigo tem como base a análise dos Direitos Humanos a partir da fraternidade, uma vez que este princípio permeia as relações de direitos entre as pessoas e entre as pessoas e os Estados, entretanto, por tratar mais de sentimento do que de ação objetiva, transmuda-se em formato pouco materializável. O estudo de base meramente teórica seguiu o caminho do pertencimento à espécie de Martha Nussbaum, com algumas intersecções da linha do Estigma de Erving Goffman e das fontes do Self de Charles Taylor, tentando responder o questionamento das dificuldades de implantação do princípio fraterno. Ao final, notou-se que se trata a fraternidade de princípio não jurídico colocado em aplicação pelos Direitos Humanos, o que, de forma prática, impede a sua imposição coercitiva, uma vez que tolerar pode ser visto como um tema jurídico, mas gostar e integrar não.

Com a evolução socioeconômica e o processo de globalização do mundo, observa-se a redução significativa das oportunidades de trabalho em diversos setores e o aumento expressivo da desigualdade social refletindo diretamente no aumento do fluxo migratório de indivíduos para diversos países. Além dos aludidos fatores, a eclosão de diversas guerras, as perseguições em razão do caráter racial, religioso, nacionalidade ou pertinência a um determinado grupo social e a grave e generalizada violação de direitos humanos verificadas em alguns países, são fatores determinantes para a necessidade do refúgio e ocasionam assim o aumento massivo e desordenado do número de refugiados. Diante dessa grave e generalizada crise mundial, foram instituídos diversos instrumentos normativos internacionais e nacionais ao longo do tempo com o escopo de garantir a proteção social dos refugiados. Porém, apesar dos diversos instrumentos protetivos já existentes, os refugiados estão desamparados no tocante à proteção social em decorrência, principalmente, da ausência de políticas públicas adequadas para possibilitar a aplicação dos instrumentos normativos positivados. Além disso, a ausência de sanções e punições severas no âmbito internacional e nacional ocasionam a facilitação ao descumprimento da legislação protetiva dos refugiados por alguns países. Daí surge a necessidade do debate constante entre a sociedade mundial e os órgãos de proteção dos refugiados no sentido de estabelecer políticas públicas capazes de efetivar a proteção social destinada aos refugiados, assegurando condições mínimas para uma existência digna, bem como estabelecer mecanismos capazes de solucionar a maior crise social deste século.
Bruce Macarthur’s Case And The Common Factor Among Serial Killers
Authors: Bacila Carlos Roberto
Published: January 2020

O presente trabalho apresenta uma análise do caso do serial killer de Toronto Bruce MacArthur, descoberto em janeiro de 2018, procurando detectar um fator comum entre os casos de assassinos em série mais conhecidos mundialmente, isto é, qual serial a maior dificuldade para investigar e responsabilizar os envolvidos de maneira mais célere. Para tanto, utilizo o estudo de diversos casos mais conhecidos de serial killers, nos quais os mesmos fatores estavam presentes quando, já nos primeiros homicídios, o autor apareceu como suspeito, porém foi descartado inicialmente e considerado suspeito improvável. A análise é feita sob a ótica da tese dos estigmas como metarregras. No caso, a ausência de estigmas é observada como um fator comum, isto é, os assassinos seriais não apresentavam estigma, o que se considera um fator decisivo nos casos para a não elucidação precoce. Verifica-se, portanto, que metarregras ligadas aos estigmas efetivamente interferem na responsabilização criminal da pessoa envolvida em crimes graves, de maneira que se a pessoa não tem estigma, tem pouca visibilidade para a investigação e responsabilização criminal, ainda que indícios fortes de que pode ter praticado homicídios estejam presentes. No final, apresento algumas sugestões para que se evite a interferência dos estigmas como metarregras negativas
Desafios Do Direito Penal No Século XXI: Direito Positivo E Diversidade Cultural (A Norma, O Valor E O Facto Como Dimensões Ético-Sociais-Jurídicas-Políticas Do Ser Humano)
Authors: Ramidoff Mário Luiz , Frascati Junior Nicola
Published: January 2020

O presente texto tem por objetividade a explicitação da atual fase existencial em que se encontra o conhecimento jurídico (Direito); senão, que, notadamente o Direito Penal, o qual não pode tergiversar entre conceitos e valores que possam colocar em xeque qualquer uma das condições humanas da pessoa, enquanto elemento primeiro de sua gênese. Por isso mesmo, propõe-se aqui como hipótese possível a construção de argumentos que possam suscitar a concordância prática entre o direito posto e a diversidade cultural. Isto é, o desafio teórico-pragmático é o da conformação da norma jurídico, do valor e do facto, os quais, de per si, podem ser compreendidos como dimensão ética, social, jurídica e política do ser humano. A pesquisa é bibliográfica e se utiliza, no questionamento das práticas, dos conceitos jurídicos e da relação do Direito com a realidade social, do pensamento reflexivo e crítico como ferramentas epistemológicas. Até porque, a metodologia empregada é caracteristicamente variável, uma vez que o presente estudo contempla as importantes contribuições multidisciplinares, então, oferecidas pelas outras áreas do conhecimento que se apresentam como pertinentes para a melhor compreensão tanto do fenômeno delitivo, quanto da intervenção estatal que lhe serve de resposta.
El Jurado Español, El Jurado Anglosajón Y El Escabinato. Instrucciones Y Veredicto. Breve Análisis Comparado
Authors: Martín José María Lombardero
Published: January 2020

En este artículo se hará uso de la comparación para avanzar en la comprensión de la lógica interna del modelo español de Tribunal de Jurado, iluminando nuestra institución a la luz del contraste con el Jurado Puro anglosajón y el Tribunal de Escabinos.

La actual LOTJ de 1995 no supuso una ruptura con el modelo de sus precedentes históricos y sigue nominalmente el modelo anglosajón de Jurado Puro. Por ello es pertinente confrontarla con el jurado británico y estadounidense que los medios audiovisuales mantienen muy presente en el imaginario colectivo de los ciudadanos españoles, quienes pueden ser llamados a ejercer la potestad jurisdiccional pero en las condiciones que establece la LOTJ.
La Problemática Aplicación De La Prisión Permanente Revisable En El Ordenamiento Jurídico Español (Algunos Matices Desde El Derecho Comparado)
Authors: Pellejero Nancy Carina Vernengo
Published: January 2020

La reforma del Código Penal por la LO 1/2015, de 30 de marzo se ha encargado de incorporar la pena de prisión permanente revisable para algunos delitos especialmente graves de atentado contra la vida o la integridad física (como son, entre otros, el subtipo agravado de asesinato, o el regicidio). Esta medida ha vuelto a poner de relieve debate su posible inconstitucionalidad y la aparente contradicción que supone la aplicación de la prisión permanente en un sistema judicial que, aparentemente, persigue la reinserción del reo en la sociedad. Sin embargo, algunos crímenes recientes (algunos de ellos cometidos por delincuentes reincidentes), mantienen abierto el debate sobre la necesidad de su vigencia, a pesar de las voces discordantes que abogan por su derogación.
Siete Modelos Comparados De Función Pública: Análisis Jurídico, Tendencias Y Retos Del Empleo Público En El Mundo
Authors: Carvalho Fábio Lins de Lessa
Published: January 2020

El presente artículo analiza las características de siete modelos distintos de empleo público (función pública, en español), con el objetivo de realizar un estudio de derecho comparado respecto al trato conferido a los funcionarios públicos en diversos países (Francia, Inglaterra, España, Italia, Alemania, Estados Unidos y Brasil). En el artículo en comento, se aprecian las tendencias y los principales desafíos enfrentados por las Administraciones Públicas de diversos países, como la precarización, privatización, tercerización, flexibilización, entre otros fenómenos derivados de la introducción de un nuevo modelo de Estado. En este proceso, se apuntan características propias de cada modelo, y, en algunos casos, situaciones que aproximan los ordenamientos jurídicos en temas como la selección de los servidores, régimen jurídico, estabilidad, carrera, remuneración, entre otras cuestiones.

O SUS encontra-se inserido no complexo jurídico de mutações do Direito Administrativo e seus reflexos no âmbito da Administração Pública têm despertado o interesse de estudo de juristas, cientistas sociais e sanitaristas, sido tal objeto deste artigo proveniente de pesquisa de tese da subscritora. Justificativa. Existem mecanismos legais de parcerias na prestação de serviços públicos pelo SUS advindas não só com a profusão de leis nesse sentido, mas também pelo pensamento exarado dos atores sociais envolvidos, tais como os políticos, a comunidade acadêmica, os agentes do poder público, as entidades estatais e institucionais, o poder Judiciário e a sociedade. Metodologia. Método historiográfico aplicado à leitura documental, aqui entendida como revisão de literatura e a análise de conteúdo de decisões judiciais e jurisprudenciais contextualizadas ao momento socioeconômico da década de 90 em diante. Resultados. Observa-se o fomento à descentralização dos serviços públicos iniciados nos anos de 90. São os principais desafios da governança identificados: (i) a falha de gestão de governança; (ii) a ausência de um planejamento adequado; (iii) a falta de análises que indiquem que a terceirização é a melhor opção ao caso analisado; (iv) omissão de estudo capaz de demonstrar eventuais vantagens na contratação de profissionais via entidades privadas. Conclusão. O processo de entidades privadas com/sem fins lucrativos atuando em nome do Poder Público é um fenômeno confirmado pelos órgãos de controle, como também pelas Instituições nacionais, embora os entes federativos possuam estruturas de governança precárias gerando obstáculos na escalada dos desafios sociais atinentes não só à comunidade, mas também ao SUS diante das formas de colaboração do setor público e privado.
Bioética E A Necessidade De Proteção Das Futuras Gerações
Authors: Ferraz Ana Claudia Brandão de Barros Correia
Published: January 2020

O tempo atual é marcado pela preocupação do homem com a vida e a saúde, de modo a evitar o sofrimento, buscando melhor qualidade de vida e a longevidade, para alguns, até a imortalidade. Diante dos avanços médico-científicos e da disseminação das técnicas de reprodução humana assistida, que permitiram a manipulação da vida humana em laboratório, em proporções antes inimagináveis, emerge a necessidade de serem discutidos limites ético-jurídicos à utilização das novas tecnologias aplicadas à medicina. Isto porque a manipulação genética, em especial, pode alterar características que são próprias da espécie humana, pondo em xeque a dignidade da pessoa humana, princípio basilar dos Estados Democráticos de Direito e de normas e tratados internacionais. Daí a necessidade de se reconhecer o ser humano como espécie total, independentemente do espaço e do tempo em que viva, sendo necessária a proteção das futuras gerações. A dignidade da pessoa humana não se apresenta apenas no presente, mas a todo ser humano, nascido ou por nascer, ou seja, as gerações presentes e futuras. Ocorre que as categorias jurídicas atuais não se prestam a proteger adequadamente as futuras gerações, como forma de garantir-lhes a própria existência. Por tal razão, justifica-se a presente pesquisa, para que, além disso, seja demonstrada a necessidade de a bioética voltar-se para a proteção das gerações futuras, assim como de o Direito reformular conceitos clássicos do direito privado, para assegurar dita proteção, dentre eles o conceito de pessoa/sujeito de direito. Assim, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal propor a ampliação da categoria jurídica “sujeito de direitos” para incluir as futuras gerações e proporcionar-lhes a devida proteção jurídica. Para a consecução de tal objetivo utiliza-se a metodologia dedutiva, fundamentalmente através da linha de pesquisa teórica, por meio da coleta de dados obtida com consulta bibliográfica às fontes pertinentes ao tema. Por fim, à guisa de conclusão intenta-se alertar para a necessidade de reconhecimento das futuras gerações como sujeito de direito intergeracional e, como tal, passível de proteção jurídica no presente, havendo deveres jurídicos das presentes gerações para com as futuras gerações, calcados nos princípios da responsabilidade e da precaução.
