The association between conative functioning of adolescents exposed to intimate partner violence and family dimensions of cohesion and adaptibility
Authors: Simonovic-Grujic Ljiljana
Published: January 2018

B?ckground/Aim. Childhood exposure to various types of emotional, physical and sexual abuse in intimate partner violence (IPV) families is associated with difficulties in emotional and social adjustment, including conduct problems, internalized and externalized symptoms. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between intimate partner violence and: family system functioning (cohesion and adaptability), conative functioning of adolescents and risk of psychopathological symptomatology development. The specific aim of this study was to establish the mental hygiene and preventive measures in order to reduce the negative consequences of growing up in the IPV families. Methods. The study was done on a sample of 308 adolescents, aged 15?18 years, divided into the IPV group (n = 68 adolescents growing up in families with the IPV and exposed to IPV in which the violence was reported and processed), and the control group (n = 240 adolescents coming from families in which there was not found any type of violence or psychosocial pathology on the basis of the results obtained on the Conners' Parent Rating Scale?Revised (CPRS-R) Questionnaire. The Faces III scale of measurement was used for measuring the dimensions of family functioning, and Cybernetic model of conative dimensions of personality (CON-6) for conative functioning of adolescents. The data was processed by using the discriminate and linear regressive analysis. Results. The adolescents growing up in the families with the IPV and exposed to IPV showed the statistically significant differences (p < 0.01) in conative functioning: psychosomatic ? = -.509, anxiety ? = -.393, aggressive ? = -.398, dissociative ? = -.509 and adaptive personality reactions ? = -.455, as compared to the control group. There was 32.35% of adolescents exposed to IPV who showed the pronounced pathological values regarding social-adaption reaction, 23.53% regarding pathological anxiety and 23.53% dissociative reactions. The greatest negative relationship was found between intimate partner violence and family dimension of cohesion (? = -0.605, p < 0.01). Conclusion. Adolescents growing up and being exposed to the intimate partner violence were significantly associated with changes in the conative functioning and risk of externalized and internalized symptoms development in socially-adaptive, anxiety and dissociative reactions and the need to introduce the preventive mental-hygienic measures. The mediator between IPV and conative functioning of adolescents was family cohesion.
Hobby or Business? Insights into the §183 Nine-Factor Test and Taxpayer Representation
Authors: Cook John K. , Easterday Kathryn E. , Webber Sarah
Published: January 2018

Internal Revenue Code §183 generally prohibits taxpayers from deducting expenses related to activities in which the taxpayer is not primarily motivated by profit. The applicable Treasury Regulation provides nine specific factors to consider in determining if a taxpayer's activity is motivated primarily by profit. This paper reviews the United States Tax Court's application of the nine factors in a sample of decisions reported between 2005 and 2015, inclusive, investigating potential inconsistencies between the Regulation language and observed outcomes. We find that a taxpayer successfully demonstrating three factors has a 158 percent greater probability of winning than a taxpayer demonstrating only two factors. We also observe that operating in a businesslike manner is a key factor to taxpayer success. Finally, we show that pro se taxpayers generally fare worse than represented ones, although the marginal reward to an additional favorable factor may be higher for them than for represented taxpayers.

The signal peptide region of preproinsulin (PPI) contains epitopes targeted by HLA-A-restricted (HLA-A0201, A2402) cytotoxic T cells as part of the pathogenesis of β-cell destruction in type 1 diabetes. We extended the discovery of the PPI epitope to disease-associated HLA-B*1801 and HLA-B*3906 (risk) and HLA-A*1101 and HLA-B*3801 (protective) alleles, revealing that four of six alleles present epitopes derived from the signal peptide region. During cotranslational translocation of PPI, its signal peptide is cleaved and retained within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, implying it is processed for immune recognition outside of the canonical proteasome-directed pathway. Using in vitro translocation assays with specific inhibitors and gene knockout in PPI-expressing target cells, we show that PPI signal peptide antigen processing requires signal peptide peptidase (SPP). The intramembrane protease SPP generates cytoplasm-proximal epitopes, which are transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP), ER-luminal epitopes, which are TAP independent, each presented by different HLA class I molecules and N-terminal trimmed by ER aminopeptidase 1 for optimal presentation. In vivo, TAP expression is significantly upregulated and correlated with HLA class I hyperexpression in insulin-containing islets of patients with type 1 diabetes. Thus, PPI signal peptide epitopes are processed by SPP and loaded for HLA-guided immune recognition via pathways that are enhanced during disease pathogenesis.

Zinc vanadate thin films, which have the property of band gap tunability together with interesting optical and electrical properties, are excellent candidates for optoelectronic applications such as solar cells. But so far, no reports on thin films deposition of zinc vanadates exist in literature. In the present work, zinc vanadate compounds were grown on glass substrates at room temperature by pulsed laser deposition. A polycrystalline ZnV2O6 target synthesized by melt quenching was used for the ablation process. The physical properties of the films were analyzed as a function of density and the mean kinetic energy of ions in the plasma. As-deposited films were amorphous, and after annealing at 500 °C in air, the crystalline structure of the samples changed depending on the plasma density. Raman spectroscopy measurements showed the presence of several vibrational modes in different regions of the annealed samples, indicating the presence of different crystalline phases. The band gap values were 2.77 and 2.82 eV for the as-deposited samples and 3.17, 3.09, and 1.73 eV for the heat treated cases. As-grown samples presented a broad luminescence band in the visible region of the spectrum with features that depended on the plasma density.

Published: January 2018

The beam polarization effect on the quality of oxygen-assisted laser cutting of low-carbon steel by a CO2 laser is studied experimentally and theoretically. The cut surface roughness is examined as a function of cutting parameters in the case with linear polarization of the laser beam. It is demonstrated that the minimum roughness level is reached if the electric field vector is aligned perpendicular to the cutting velocity vector. The distribution of the absorbed laser power inside a narrow cut channel is computed numerically. It is concluded that the absorbed power distribution exerts a significant effect on the surface quality and it is important to provide radiative heating of the side walls to ensure lower-level roughness. Based on the results obtained, a possible explanation is proposed for the worse quality of the cut surface of metal materials by a fiber laser as compared to a CO2 laser.

Published: January 2018

Chinese people have long been a subject in the social history in Indonesia and their emotional expressions in front of the public especially have been affected by history. The previous empirical research findings in the Batam Island showed that Chinese people had unique emotional expression and this uniqueness may inflict interpersonal conflict with people of other ethnicities. This research was held to describe the emotional expression of the Chinese in the Batam Island. Their expressions compared with those of non Chinese. The adapted Display Rules Assessment Inventory (Matsumoto & Yoo, 2007) were distributed to the research participants (men and women in the Batam Island, totally 195 Chinese and 132 non Chinese). The analysis data result were presented in percentage and it showed that there were several similarities and differences between these two ethnic groups on (1) the display rules of seven basic emotions and (2) the display rules of emotion toward targeted persons, both in public and in private places. Based on the socioculutral paradigm, this finding will help solve any interpersonal – related problems faced by the Chinese with people of other ethnicities in the Batam Island.

Authors: Winarso Hudi , Subagyo Roni
Published: January 2018

This discussion is aimed on analyzing the fatal sexual violence incident that occurred in Kediri, East Java on June 27th, 2016. The victim was a three year old boy who was sodomized and thrown to his death by the perpetrator. The perpetrator himself is the victim’s uncle (30 years of age), who experienced relatively heavy stress, and an MMPI (Minnesota Multi-phasic Personality Inventory) indicating normal (heterosexual) sexual orientation, a modest and honest man with a dependent personality. Data was obtained from patient’s medical records, interview with psychiatrist in charge of the event, and the mother of the perpetrator to detect influential factors starting from conception to adulthood. An important data is that the perpetrator was once a victim of sexual violence (sodomy) when he was in the first year of primary school, the stressful burden in the family’s environment, personal trauma of wife’s miscarriage when the embryo was four months old that occurred one month prior to the incident.
Get Acquainted with Quantile Regression
Authors: Santoso Agung , Tyas Tri Hayuning
Published: January 2018

This article was written to introduce quantile regression (QR) analysis technique for research in Psychology. The authors present the advantages possessed by QR compared with ordinary least square (OLS) for the regression analysis approach. The QR’s main advantage than OLS is the information concerning the effects of the independent variables on the dependent variable at a location other than the mean. QR can also provide information regarding the effect of independent variables on the distribution and skewness of the dependent variable. Another QR’s advantage is associated with the robustness against violations of assumptions about the normal distribution of data and homogeneity of variance. These two advantages make the authors feel the need to introduce QR in studies in Psychology. The authors are then applying the QR on real data as an illustration. The results of the analysis in the illustration show the advantages of QR over OLS, especially in providing information on the phenomenon under study.

Published: January 2018

A preliminary study of students of a psychology faculty, revealed the fact that there are some students with low life satisfaction and negative affect during their college life. Low subjective well-being (SWB) was associated with decreased productivity and cognitive flexibility, which are important elements for studying. Previous researchers found a significant correlation between gratitude and SWB. The aim of this study is to enhance student SWB through an intervention of gratitude letter. We use two stages in this study: first a descriptive method (N = 282) to have an accurate description of the level of their SWB. Then, we select 60 students with the lowest SWB to participate in the next stage, a quasi-experimental method with multiple group design, consisting of two experimental group and one control group. Measurements were conducted with modified SLS, SPANE, and GQ6. Data a-nalysis revealed significant differences in gratitude and positive affect level that are differrent in each group. Significant improvement in gratitude and subjective well-being based on the pre-test, post-test 1, post-test 2 were only found in the group that writes and expresses the gratitude letter.
Use of renewable energy for desalination in urban agriculture in the GCC countries: Possibilities and challenges
Authors: Al-Jabri Salem , Ahmed Mushtaque
Published: January 2018

The current dependence of the GCC countries on fossil oil and gas is unwise in terms of economic and environmental sustainability. GCC countries must consider the use of renewable energy to cope with price fluctuations of oil and gas in the global market and to lower the emission of green house gases. The demand for food and water in the GCC countriesis increasing due to high growth rate of population. Given the weather conditions and available amounts of natural water resources, the demand on food and water cannot be met unless alternative sources of water are considered. Several studies pointed out that the desalination technology is probably the only option for producing ample amounts of water for food production in arid environments. This work explores the potential of use of desalination technology for producing irrigation water in GCC countries, with special emphasis on experience of the Sultanate of Oman compared with that of Spain. Desalination can always provide a tailored-quality irrigation water at any climatic conditions. The main challenge for considering desalination for agriculture is purely economic; where GCC countries could consider it only if intensive horticulture of high-value cash crops, such as vegetables and flowers in controlled environments, is considered. Disposal of brine water is also a challenge and must be done at an additional cost. Depending on the quality of desalinated water, several studies showed that solar-operated desalination technologies are in a mature stage and economically viable. Therefore, solar energy can make the desalination technology an attractive option to sustain agriculture and food supply in GCC countries.
Development of a decision support system for precision management of conjunctive use of treated wastewater for irrigation in Oman

Published: January 2018

This research aimed at finding alternative options for conjunctive use of treated wastewater (TW) with groundwater (GW) minimizing the irrigation water from aquifers in the Al-Batinah region with the assistance of a Decision Support System (DSS). Oman is facing a three-facet problem of lowering of GW table, wastewater over-production and excess TW. Approved guidelines for use of TW with tertiary treatments are of two classes: class-A (for vegetables consumed raw), class-B (after cooking). The developed DSS is comprised of four management subsystems: (1) data management in Excel, (2) model and knowledge management by macro programming in Excel, (3) with linear programming (LP) optimization models including transportation algorithms, and (4) user interface with Excel or Visual Basic (VB). The results are based on two extreme scenarios: zero TW excess, and zero GW used for irrigation. The DSS could predict water balance for number of crop rotations, and based on adjustable cost variables farmer profit margins could be created. Crop selections and rotation could be done using LP optimizations while transportation algorithm could organize best locations and capacities for treatment plants and the wastewater collection and transportation to farming areas via treatment plants. The developed DSS will be very useful as a water management, optimization and planning tool.

Authors: Manickvasagan Annamalai , Kumar Chandini S , Al-Attabi Zaher H
Published: January 2018

In this study, a popular Indian dessert, kesari, was reformulated by substituting refined sugar at various levels (0%=control, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) with date past and syrup, and changes in instrumental texture profile, L*a*b* colour values and sensory properties were determined.  The hardness of date syrup kesari was higher than that of date paste kesari. However, there were no differences in hardness among various levels of replacement.  There were no differences between syrup vs paste products or among various levels of replacements in cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, adhesiveness and chewiness of kesari.  The developed kesari scored 5.5 to 7.5 on a 9 level hedonic scale (like slightly-like moderately) in all sensory attributes.  Replacement of sugar at 75% and 100% levels, significantly lowered the scores for most of the sensory attributes.  Around 50% of the panellist in informed sensory, selected 50% replaced products (paste or syrup) as their first choice.

Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) fluxes of two cropping systems in three mountain oases of Al Jabal Al-Akhdar mountains of northern Oman were determined in 2008/09 and 2009/10. These comprised garlic at Ash Sharayjah (1,900 m asl) and Masayrat (1,030 m asl), pomegranate in Ash Sharayjah and Qasha’ (1,640 m asl), and date palm groves at Masayrat. Goat manure was applied to garlic fields at 47 and 40 t dry matter (DM) ha-1 at Ash Sharayjah and 42 and 37 t DM ha-1 at Masayrat. Pomegranates at Ash Sharayjah and Qasha’ received cattle dairy manure at 66 and 60 t DM ha-1 yr-1. Annual total gaseous C losses varied from 20.9 to 61.2 t C ha-1 to which CH4-C contributed < 2%. Total annual C surpluses were 12.5 t ha-1 in garlic fields at Ash Sharayjah, while C deficits of -5.5 t ha-1 were obtained at Masayrat. Annual C surpluses in pomegranate and date palm were 16.7, 7.5, and 1.7 t ha-1 in Ash Sharayjah, Qasha’, and Masayrat. Date palm groves had total annual N surpluses of 1857 kg N ha-1 while pomegranate fields at Ash Sharayjah and Qasha’ had annual surpluses of 1414 and 1500 kg N ha-1.

OBJECTIVE To describe diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of and risk factors for ophthalmic disease in leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius) evaluated at a veterinary teaching hospital.

DESIGN Retrospective case series.

ANIMALS 112 of 144 (78%) leopard geckos that were evaluated at a veterinary teaching hospital in January 1985 through October 2013 and for which sufficient medical record information was available.

PROCEDURES Information from medical records was used to identify leopard geckos with ophthalmic disease, characterize cases, and determine risk factors for the presence of ophthalmic disease.

RESULTS Of the 112 leopard geckos, 52 (46%) had ophthalmic disease (mainly corneal or conjunctival disease). Female geckos were less likely to have ophthalmic disease, and there was a positive association between increasing age and ophthalmic disease. Use of a paper towel substrate, absence of any heat source, and lack of vitamin A supplementation were positively associated with a diagnosis of ophthalmic disease. Head dysecdysis was the only concurrent disorder significantly associated with ophthalmic disease. At necropsy, 5 affected leopard geckos had squamous metaplasia of the conjunctivae.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that ophthalmic disease is a common finding in leopard geckos. The cause of ocular surface disease in leopard geckos may be multifactorial, and hypovitaminosis A may be an important risk factor. Although animals receiving supplemental vitamin A were less likely to have ophthalmic disease, further understanding is required regarding the metabolism of and nutritional requirements for vitamin A in leopard geckos.

Published: January 2018

CASE DESCRIPTION An 18-month-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was evaluated because of conjunctivitis and skin-fold dermatitis secondary to bilateral microphthalmia, corneal dermoids, and ankyloblepharon.

CLINICAL FINDINGS Physical examination revealed bilateral microphthalmia, bilaterally symmetrical corneal dermoids, ankyloblepharon, superior and inferior entropion, prognathism, and facial asymmetry with deviation of the nasal septum. Computed tomography revealed malformed, thickened bony orbits with mineralization of the orbital ligament bilaterally. Moderate rightward deviation of the nasal septum and ventral nasal meatus was also evident, with no identifiable maxillary sinuses. Results of MRI of the brain were unremarkable. Abdominal ultrasonography showed an irregularly marginated left kidney and a right kidney defect suggestive of chronic renal infarction. An abnormal, well-demarcated, focally thickened region of the muscularis externa of the jejunum was also evident.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Transpalpebral enucleation was performed bilaterally. Histologic examination of ocular tissues confirmed the corneal dermoids and microphthalmia with anterior and posterior segment dysgenesis and cataracts in both eyes. Ocular discomfort resolved after postoperative recovery, and follow-up revealed that the patient's activity level and quality of life were excellent. No clinical signs of upper respiratory, urinary, or gastrointestinal tract disease were observed during the approximately 3.5-year follow-up period.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE The congenital abnormalities observed resembled those described for human patients with Goldenhar syndrome, and the outcome of treatment was favorable. This report may prompt clinicians to consider this diagnosis when evaluating young cats with similar clinical signs.

Published: January 2018

CASE DESCRIPTION A 14-year-old 4.1-kg (9.02-lb) male harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja) was evaluated because of vomiting, anorexia, lethargy, and weight loss (decrease of 0.35 kg [0.77 lb]) of 4 weeks' duration. The bird had previously been treated orally with fenbendazole after the initial onset of clinical signs.

CLINICAL FINDINGS An initial CBC revealed marked heteropenia and anemia, but whole-body contrast-enhanced CT images and other diagnostic test findings were unremarkable. Clinical signs persisted, and additional diagnostic testing failed to reveal the cause. During celiotomy, a biopsy specimen of the duodenum was obtained for histologic examination, which revealed lymphoplasmacytic inflammation, consistent with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Prior to histopathologic diagnosis of IBD, barium sulfate administered via gavage resulted in a temporary improvement of clinical signs. Following diagnosis of IBD, corticosteroid administration was initiated in conjunction with antifungal prophylaxis. Cessation of vomiting and a return to normal appetite occurred within 3 days. Fifteen months after cessation of corticosteroid treatment, the eagle continued to do well.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE To our knowledge, this was the first report of diagnosis and management of IBD in an avian species. For the eagle of the present report, results of several diagnostic tests increased clinical suspicion of IBD, but histologic examination of an intestinal biopsy specimen was required for definitive diagnosis. Although successful in this case, steroid administration in avian species must be carefully considered. Conclusive evidence of fenbendazole toxicosis was not obtained, although it was highly suspected in this bird.
Salivary gland duct obstruction after radioiodine therapy: a case report
Authors: Gillani Farkhanda , Imran Muhammad , Naeem Muhammad
Published: January 2018

Background: Radioiodine therapy has long been used in the treatment of hyperthyroid patients. Salivary complications secondary to radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment are well documented, there is little in the literature addressing salivary gland duct obstruction. We present a rare case of salivary gland duct obstruction developed 2 months after RAI treatment.
Case Presentation: We describe a 50-year-old male, treated with RAI for hyperthyroidism. He developed pain and swelling in the left submandibular region, 2 months after receiving RAI treatment (25 mCi). His salivary gland scintigraphy was done after injecting 370 MBq (15 mCi) of Tc99m pertechnetate in supine position. It revealed retention of radiotracer in the left submandibular gland with no drainage through the duct system, even on giving lemon stimulus, favoring submandibular gland duct obstruction.
Conclusion: We report this rare complication of submandibular gland duct injury occurring after RAI therapy. The occurrence of this complication even after low dose of radioiodine administration may be listed in gamut. All necessary measures must be taken to reduce such potential complications.

Authors: Felipe Bruno Farage , Delgado Leticia Paiva
Published: January 2018

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar o posicionamento de Ronald Dworkin acerca da necessária conexão entre direito e moral, assim como sua construção que dá sustentáculo operacional a essa ideia: a de que existem respostas morais verdadeiras. Além disso, pretende-se expor o posicionamento do neurocientista Sam Harris acerca da existência de verdades morais, construído em “A paisagem moral”. Dessa forma, a intenção é demonstrar as aproximações entre o jusfilósofo e o neurocientista – e, consequentemente, ainda que de forma parcial e limitada, da filosofia do direito com a ciência - no que concerne à existência de respostas morais corretas.
ANOTAÇÕES SOBRE GLOBALIZAÇÃO E O CONCEITO DE CONSTITUIÇÃO UMA REVISÃO DO DEBATE LASSALE VS HESSE
Authors: Oliveira Frederico Antonio Lima de , Paes Alberto Moraes Papaléo
Published: January 2018

Os fatores reais de poder, nasceram na obra de Ferdinand Lassalle quando lecionou acerca da essência das constituições. Para a contemporaneidade a sistematização do objeto da ciência constitucional abraça tal ideia complementada por Konrad Hesse em sua proposta de força normativa das constituições, como o elo entre a Constituição Jurídica e a Constituição Real. Dessa forma, torna-se imperioso contemplar um conceito de constituição que tenha o processo de globalização como um fator real de poder, uma vez que interfere diretamente nas relações econômicas, políticas e sociológicas (culturais). Neste sentido é que se coloca o presente trabalho.

Sem pretender esgotar o tema, neste artigo pretendemos abordar questões que afetam a interpretação constitucional no âmbito do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), culminando em mutações inconstitucionais, que alguns autores denominam de “ativismo judicial”. Para exemplificar apontaremos decisões de grande impacto social e político proferidas pelo STF, e como essas interpretações contrárias à letra e ao espírito da Constituição fragilizam a sua força normativa. Por meio do estudo de casos utilizaremos o método indutivo para concluir sobre as causas, os benefícios e os malefícios desse fenômeno para o Estado Constitucional.
Judicialização da “Mega Política”: Um Estudo de Caso a Partir do Alcance Normativo da Consulta Eleitoral do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral

Published: January 2018

Nos últimos anos, as cortes judiciais vêm exercitando um importante papel em torno das principais discussões políticas das democracias constitucionais. O processo eleitoral é um desses debates em que as cortes são atores protagonistas, o que significa uma potencial tensão entre a soberania popular e o constitucionalismo. Este artigo mostra esse fenômeno no Brasil por meio da análise do alcance normativo da consulta eleitoral do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral. Com base em uma metodologia de estudo de caso, demonstra-se como a judicialização da “mega política” exige o fortalecimento democrático das instituições judiciais.

A condição do amicus curiae no controle concentrado de constitucionalidade e o filtro a sua participação no modelo de Estado brasileiro que se pretende democrático de Direito
Authors: Rezende Renato Horta
Published: January 2018

O Estado Democrático de Direito e a pós-modernidade exigem que as decisões estatais estejam revestidas estruturalmente de validade democrática, entretanto, no controle concentrado de constitucionalidade, filtros restringem participações mesmo daqueles potencialmente atingidos pela decisão. Investigou-se, por meio da relação entre Direito e democracia, se as barreiras impostas à participação do amicus curiae no controle concentrado de constitucionalidade atentam contra o modelo de Estado brasileiro. O método de pesquisa aplicado foi o hipotético-dedutivo, partindo-se da hipótese de que a participação constitui elemento de validade estrutural do Estado Democrático de Direito indispensável ao modelo de Estado. A hipótese levantada foi confirmada.

Este artigo consiste em uma revisão integrativa, cujo ponto de partida é a constatação de que a judicialização da saúde é um fenômeno que traz inúmeras consequências prejudiciais para o Sistema Único de Saúde. Por isso, o Executivo e o Judiciário têm adotado providências para amenizar esses efeitos indesejados, como editar atos de recomendação, criar órgãos para acompanhar e propor soluções extrajudiciais aos litígios envolvendo a saúde etc. Conclui-se que esses meios são diversos e devem ser tomados de acordo com a realidade local e regional, mas devem sempre ser desenvolvidos de forma dialógica e cooperativa entre os referidos Poderes.
ESTUDOS SOBRE O DIREITO DE PROPRIEDADE NO MUNDO VIRTUAL: PROTEÇÃO DOS ARQUIVOS DIGITAIS
Authors: Rohrmann Carlos Alberto
Published: January 2018

A revolução digital tornou mais fácil e mais barato o acesso à propriedade intelectual. Por outro lado, a revolução das telecomunicações digitais que expandiu sobremaneira o mundo digital popularizou as obras digitais por meio da internet. A economia das ideias é bastante disseminada sob a proteção jurídica da propriedade intelectual. Há uma mudança de paradigma do direito de propriedade, por muitos anos associado à existência corpórea do objeto do direito. Este artigo analisa tal mudança, sob a metodologia comparada, com ênfase para a proteção da informação tanto pelo instituto dos segredos de comércio como pelo instituto da proteção possessória.

A Regulação Econômica e o Direito de Propriedade: Normas Promocionais de Acesso e Permanência das Micro e Pequenas Empresas no Mercado
Authors: Monteiro Philippe Antônio Azedo , Kempfer Marlene
Published: January 2018

O presente estudo aborda a intervenção do Estado por meio de normas promocionais, capazes de propiciar um ambiente de encorajamento para que micro e pequenos empresários ingressem e permaneçam no mercado econômico. Oportunizar a regularização dos ativos é o caminho para resgatar o capital morto que está na informalidade. Neste contexto destaca-se as medidas da Lei Complementar 123/2006, que originou um sistema federativo para inclusão e fomento de micro e pequenos empreendimentos. Unir a competência da intervenção estatal, por meio de normas promocionais e as potencialidades dos direitos da propriedade podem contribuir para a efetividade da referida lei.
A Regulação do Mercado à Luz de uma Teoria da Justiça
Authors: Rodrigues Taísa Regina , Biana Higor Da Silva
Published: January 2018

O presente trabalho apresenta conceitos da teoria de justiça elaborada por John Rawls e expõe a concepção do mercado como um fenômeno poliédrico para, na sequência, sustentar que a regulação do mercado é o principal meio de atuação do Estado para a persecução dos objetivos almejados por uma sociedade capitalista. Conclui-se, ao final, que a viabilidade de uma sociedade brasileira bem ordenada e regulada a partir da concepção de justiça de Rawls pressupõe uma regulação estatal do mercado que seja compatível com os objetivos estabelecidos a partir dos princípios de justiça rawlsianos.

Authors: Gomes Magno Federici , Santos Ariel Augusto Pinheiro dos
Published: January 2018

A pesquisa investiga o termo “desenvolvimento sustentável”, em suas dimensões e a regulamentação legislativa. O objetivo geral é elencar as dimensões e a regulamentação legislativa. Os objetivos específicos foram a caracterização das dimensões, bem como a identificação de sua trajetória. Empregou-se como linha teórico-metodológica a jurídico-sociológica, pois, ante a amplitude do tema, o ramo jurídico foi insuficiente para alcançar os objetivos. Procedeu-se com o raciocínio dedutivo, tendo em vista a idealização de princípios gerais que devem ser empregados em casos particulares. Constatou-se a ressignificação da locução, além da propagação do termo em textos normativos a partir de 2000.
DA TEORIA DOS SISTEMAS AO DIREITO PENAL DO INIMIGO: UMA ANÁLISE CRÍTICA
Authors: Anjos Milena Trajano dos , Machado Érica Babini Lapa do Amaral
Published: January 2018

O presente texto tem por objetivo discutir como a Teoria dos Sistemas trabalhada pelo sociólogo alemão Niklas Luhmann foi utilizada como embasamento para que o, também alemão, Günther Jakobs fundasse, por meio da sua teoria do funcionalismo normativo-sistêmico, o Direito Penal do Inimigo. Este estudo será guiado pelas lentes da Criminologia Crítica, a qual rejeita veementemente qualquer teoria que rebaixe o indivíduo a uma condição sub-humana, como pretende o direito penal do inimigo. Utilizando-se do método de revisão bibliográfica, será percorrido o caminho de modo a demonstrar a incompatibilidade do direito penal do inimigo com o Estado de direito.

Os Contratos de Arrendamento Rural no Brasil: Origens Históricas e Marcos Jurídicos
Authors: Castro Luís Felipe Perdigão de
Published: January 2018

Diversos estudos, oriundos do Direito, Sociologia e Economia, consideram a hipótese de o arrendamento rural ser um meio eficaz de democratização do acesso à terra. Contudo, no Brasil, os arrendamentos são pouco praticados e, dentre as causas para sua baixa utilização, cogita-se a debilidade das estruturas institucionais, a dinâmica das leis e a configuração social dos contratos. Partindo dessa vertente, o presente trabalho investiga a formação dos arrendamentos rurais no Brasil, focando em sua dinâmica histórica e jurídica. O objetivo é revisar os marcos regulatórios principais, através de pesquisa bibliográfica e à luz da interpretação sociológica do Direito.

Hermenêutica e Teoria do Direito: Trajetória de Dois Campos Estruturantes do Pensamento Jurídico no Brasil
Authors: Maia Gretha Leite , Teixeira Zaneir Gonçalves
Published: January 2018

O artigo objetiva analisar algumas concepções em torno da relação entre a Hermenêutica jurídica e a Teoria do Direito, a partir de determinados questionamentos implicados nessa relação. Parte da constatação de que existe um movimento de centralidade da Hermenêutica no Brasil nos últimos 20 anos. Investiga como se definem, em termos de campo de pesquisa, a Teoria do Direito e a Hermenêutica, e em que medida existe uma colonização de conteúdo entre  estas  áreas  estruturantes  do  pensamento  jurídico.  Examina  os  caminhos  da Hermenêutica no âmbito da produção acadêmica jurídica brasileira e verifica o que confere legitimidade ao seu discurso. Analisa a proposta de uma nova Hermenêutica, que acompanha o neoconstitucionalismo e o pós-positivismo. Analisa igualmente a relação entre a Teoria do Direito, a Hermenêutica jurídica e o positivismo jurídico. Conclui posicionando-os como campos inter-relacionados, porém sem prevalências, com propostas de investigação próprias e por isso identificáveis, a que se acresce a proposta da Teoria da Decisão. Trata-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e analítica.
Racionalidade Moderna e Método Jurídico à Luz do Mito da Caverna de Platão
Authors: Dos Santos Luciano Gomes
Published: January 2018

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar a Racionalidade Moderna e Método Jurídico à luz do Mito da Caverna de Platão. A estrutura do Mito da Caverna apresenta o despertar do senso comum à ciência. O caminho realizado pelo prisioneiro simboliza a mudança de contexto histórico: da Idade Média cristã à modernidade. A racionalidade moderna surge com nova perspectiva filosófica e científica. Neste contexto, surgem pensadores como Francis Bacon, René Descartes, Gaston Bachelard e Karl Popper, que contribuíram para pensar o método científico. Suas ideias possibilitam pensar o método jurídico. Nesta perspectiva, o jurista deve abandonar sombras do direito dogmático e conhecer novas dinâmicas para se pensar o método jurídico à luz da razão, numa dinâmica crítica, aberta e dialética.
A Contribuição da Hermenêutica Ricoeuriana e da sua Dialética do Amor para o Pensamento Jurídico Contemporâneo
Authors: Litwinski Fernanda Fortes , Dantas Marcela Pithon Brito dos Santos
Published: January 2018

Ricoeur entende a justiça numa tríplice dimensão: no campo político, regrando as práticas sociais; no plano institucional, conduzindo aos canais da justiça por meio do aparelho judiciário; e nos argumentos ao nível do discurso, como elemento da atividade comunicativa. O presente artigo busca analisar a justiça sob o prisma deste filósofo e dos seus escritos sobre a dialética do amor e da justiça, com fim de utilizar suas premissas em um novo pensar jurídico. Investigar-se-á o pensamento contemporâneo dominante e como ele pode ser aprimorado com a filosofia ricoeuriana. Utilizar-se-á o método dialético e como fonte a revisão bibliográfica.
Da Taxatividade Penal e o Conceito Atual de Família – A Assunção do Ideal de Coerência e Integridade do Direito através da Interpretação Principiológica
Authors: Domith Laira Carone Rachid , E Pádua Gabriel Senra
Published: January 2018

Atualmente o conceito de “família” possui um significado jurídico distinto do que possuía em 1940, quando apenas o casamento era legítimo para fins de sua constituição. Ainda que o Direito Penal proíba a analogia e a interpretação extensiva in malam partem, a atualização do conceito de família foi feita pela CF/88, que passou a prever o reconhecimento jurídico das famílias  matrimonial,  monoparental  e  decorrentes  de  união  estável.  No  contexto  do Neoconstitucionalismo, torna-se necessária a elucidação do real sentido do Princípio da Legalidade e a utilização da interpretação principiológica do Direito Penal adequando-o, caso a caso, à complexidade da sociedade Moderna.
