 BREVE ANÁLISE SOBRE A JURIMETRIA, OS DESAFIOS PARA A SUA IMPLEMENTAÇÃO E AS VANTAGENS CORRESPONDENTES
BRIEF ANALYSIS ABOUT THE JURIMETRICS, THE CHALLENGES TO THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE CORRESPONDING ADVANTAGES
Authors: Menezes Daniel , Barros Gisele Porto
Published: July 2018

O objetivo deste artigo científico é apontar, ainda que de maneira não exaustiva, dadas a extensão e a complexidade da matéria, dentro do conceito trazido inicialmente por Lee Loevinger, a importância da adoção de novas técnicas pelo aplicador do Direito, que, em princípio, não está familiarizado ao uso de ciências matemáticas ou estatísticas. A análise normativa, no mais das vezes, sobrepõe-se à empírica no estudo da ciência jurídica.A título de resultados constatou-se que o uso da estatística na elucidação de fenômenos jurídicos, como a análise gráfica da evolução de determinados processos em trâmite no Poder Judiciário, permite aferir da (in)eficiência do sistema para a satisfação da pretensão do jurisdicionado.
ASPECTOS CONTROVERSOS NA JUDICIALIZAÇÃO DA SAÚDE
CONTROVERSIAL ASPECTS IN HEALTH JUDICIALIZATION
Authors: Faria Edimur Ferreira de , Azevedo Paulo Vinícius Alves de
Published: July 2018

Quando o tema é política pública, notadamente no campo da saúde, acaba por gerar várias controvérsias. A grande discussão que vem incomodando a Administração Pública é a judicialização da saúde, em que consiste em demandas judiciais, ajuizadas de forma individual ou coletiva, nas quais buscam determinação judicial para forne-cimento de medicamentos ou tratamentos que, em regra, não estão disponíveis no SUS. É retratado neste artigo vários pontos negativos a essa judicialização desregra-da, pois põe em xeque todo o sistema administrativo e financeiro da Administração Pública podendo contribuir para colapso da gestão pública nas diversas áreas de atuação estatal. O Supremo Tribunal Federal já foi provocado a se manifestar sobre a matéria, sob a relatoria do Ministro Marco Aurélio Mello. Pelos votos já publica-dos, a tendência do Supremo será de por fim a essas demandas que podem condu-zir o sistema público a risco, pois há várias condicionantes a serem observadas pelo juiz para determinar à Administração Pública a fornecer medicamento ou tratamen-to. Além disso, o STF também está analisando a legitimação passiva nas demandas judiciais por meio da proposta de súmula vinculante n. 4. Essas e outras questões são discutidas neste artigo, com o objetivo de conscientizar a população de que as demandas judiciais relativamente à saúde, normalmente não colaboram para a reso-lução dos problemas que atingem o Sistema Único de Saúde; ao contrário, essas demandas criam abismo entre aqueles que efetivamente precisam e o Poder Público, implementador de políticas públicas de saúde. Além disso, o presente artigo tem por objetivo específico refletir sobre o direito fundamental à saúde, previsto na Constituição da República, em contraponto ao planejamento estatal indispensável à implementação de políticas públicas. Após a elaboração deste estudo, conclui-se que compete ao Judiciário, Legislativo e ao Executivo, em harmonia, encontrar as me-lhores alternativas a fim de implementar soluções que visem beneficiar a toda socie-dade, detentora do direito à saúde, e não somente em prol dos que demandam judicialmente; do contrário, o sistema tende a entrar em “falência”.

Published: July 2018

This research aims to explains the meaning of some specific address terms such as kiai, gus, ning, kang, etc. which are obligatorily usedÂ  on pondok pesantren in Jombang. This study discusses the classification and the meanings of address terms in pesantren as well as pesantren and Javanese cultural perspectives on the terms. This descriptive-qualitative research applies emic approach. The result shows that there are 15 address terms in pesantren, namely kiai, nyai, gus, mas, ning, bapak, ibu, mbak, kang, cak, ustadz, ustadzah, abah, abi, and umi. These distinctive address terms aim to honor the kiai, teachers, kiaiâ€™s and teachersâ€™families, and santri. Pesantrenâ€™s view posits that respecting teachers, teachersâ€™ family, and fellow santri is a pace to get barokah and manfaat (benefit) of science, the santriâ€™s ultimate goal and their destination of seeking knowledge. Meanwhile, Javanese cultural persepective argues that this respect indicates syncretism between Javanese and Islamic culture. The respect to kiai is influenced by the respect to begawan. On the other hand, santriâ€™s attitude refers to cantrik. Different tributes between teacher and kiai are influenced by Javanese culture. It indicates the existence of different obligations and rights in pesantren which impact on the stratification at pesantren. The stratification at pesantren can bedivided into three classes; namely nursery class (kiai and his family), teacher class, and santri class.

OBJECTIVE To determine survival estimates and outcome predictors for shelter cats with feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) infection.

DESIGN Retrospective cohort study.

ANIMALS 177 shelter cats with FPV infection.

PROCEDURES Medical records of cats treated for FPV infection from 2011 through 2013 were reviewed to collect information pertaining to signalment; history; results of physical examination, CBC, serum biochemical analysis, and blood gas analysis; and treatments (antimicrobials, antiparasitics, antivirals, antiemetics, analgesics, crystalloid or colloid solutions, and blood products). Survival time and outcome predictors were determined by means of Kaplan-Meier estimation, logistic regression, and mixed-model ANOVA.

RESULTS Median survival time after hospital admission was 3 days; 20.3% (36/177) of cats survived to discharge from the hospital. Risk of nonsurvival was greater in cats with (vs without) signs of lethargy, rectal temperature < 37.9°C (I00.2°F), or low body weight at hospital admission. Lower (vs higher) leukocyte count on days 3,4, and 7 of hospitalization, but not at admission, was associated with nonsurvival. Amoxicillin–clavulanic acid, antiparasitics, and maropitant but not interferon-ω were associated with survival, whereas glucose infusion was associated with nonsurvival.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested that FPV infection carried a poor prognosis for shelter cats. Several variables measured at admission or during hospitalization were associated with outcome. Remarkably and contrary to the existing literature, leukopenia at admission had no association with outcome, possibly owing to early prevention of complications.
Relationship of preoperative neurologic score with intervals to regaining micturition and ambulation following surgical treatment of thoracolumbar disk herniation in dogs
Authors: Skytte Ditte , Schmökel Hugo
Published: July 2018

OBJECTIVE To estimate the times required for dogs to regain micturition and ambulation following surgical treatment for thoracolumbar Hansen type I intervertebral disk extrusion (IVDE) and determine whether these variables were associated with preoperative modified Frankel score (MFS).

DESIGN Retrospective case series with nested cohort study.

ANIMALS 54 dogs weighing < 20 kg (44 lb) that were surgically treated for Hansen type I IVDE at a referral hospital between January and December 2015.

PROCEDURES Medical records and CT and MRI data were reviewed. Information was collected regarding dog signalment, type and duration of clinical signs, preoperative MFS, degree of spinal cord compression, type of medical and surgical treatment provided, and intervals from surgery to regaining micturition and ambulation (outcomes). Collected data were evaluated for correlations with outcomes.

RESULTS Mean ± SD interval from surgery to regaining micturition was 4.1 ± 4.4 days, and mean interval from surgery to regaining ambulation was 13.8 ± 25.1 days. These intervals differed significantly. Significant negative correlations with MFS were identified for interval to regaining micturition (r = −0.63) and interval to regaining ambulation (r = −0.64). No other correlations with outcome were identified.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The amount of time required for dogs to regain micturition and ambulation following surgery for thoracolumbar IVDE was correlated with preoperative severity of clinical signs, as reflected by preoperative MFSs. This information should be useful for pre- and postoperative decision-making and setting of expectations for owners of and clinicians treating affected dogs.
Encoding the Record Database of Computer Based Test Exam Based on Spritz Algorithm
Authors: Zebua Taronisokhi
Published: July 2018

Computer utilization in the execution of the computer-based test is currently no strange. Almost all government agencies and companies at the time of conducting the test acceptance of new employees have been using computer-based test system online or often referred to as Computer Based Test (CBT). One of the important aspects to be considered and must be maintained in the execution of computer-based exams is the problem of question security and exam answers to abuse actions. One technique that can be done to solve the problems above is the use of cryptographic techniques. This research describes the use of spritz algorithm which is one of the cryptographic algorithms to encode the text database record of the computer-based test. The results of the encoding process can make it harder for the attackers to know the original text of the exam, so as to minimize the abuse of the exam.

Published: July 2018

Oil and gas production is moving deeper and further offshore as energy companies seek new sources, making the field layout design problem even more important. Although many optimization models are presented in the revised literature, they do not properly consider the uncertainties in well deliverability. This paper aims at presenting a Monte Carlo simulation integrated with a genetic algorithm that addresses this stochastic nature of the problem. Based on the results obtained, we conclude that the probabilistic approach brings new important perspectives to the field development engineering.

The Self-Regulated Learning of Younger Adolescents with and without Learning Difficulties – A Comparative Multiple Case Study
Authors: Černe Tanja , Juriševič Mojca
Published: July 2018

Well-developed self-regulated learning is the key to enabling learners to achieve both their educational goals and wider personal development. However, this can be especially challenging for adolescents with learning difficulties, because of the neuropsychological and neurophysiological characteristics of such individuals, as well as the significant disparities they tend to experience between the effort put into learning on the one hand, and the resulting learning achievements on the other. In the current comparative multiple case study, we researched the self-regulated learning of three younger adolescents with learning difficulties and that of one younger adolescent without learning difficulties. The data were subjected to triangulation methods and qualitative analysis, with the results showing that the younger adolescents with learning difficulties mainly used cognitive rehearsal strategies, while the organisational and elaboration strategies were used only with the aid of the available social resources. The results also show that metacognitive strategies with regard to planning, assessment, and self-regulation were not yet fully developed in the participants with learning difficulties. Two of the three younger adolescents with learning difficulties show several signs of defensive pessimism and learned helplessness. All the adolescents participating in this case study received support and help in their home environments and developed suitable self-encouragement and self-rewarding strategies through perceptions of their own success in their free-time activities. The participating teachers did not fully identify the strong areas and performance factors in the younger adolescents, both with and without learning difficulties. The results obtained from this case study might contribute to developing more efficient special-educational intervention approaches.
Communicating Transdisciplinary Characteristics In Global Regulatory Affairs: An Example From Health Professions Education
Authors: Drago Daniela , McDonald Paige , R Lotrecchiano Gaetano
Published: July 2018

Aim/Purpose: This paper describes the regulatory affairs discipline as a useful case in the study of both inter- and transdisciplinary science and dynamics related to communication across multiple boundaries. We will 1) outline the process that led to the development of transnational competencies for regulatory affairs graduate education, 2) discuss how the process highlights the transdisciplinary character of regulatory affairs, 3) provide implications for how to communicate the influence of this characterization to future healthcare professionals, and 4) draw conclusions regarding how our lessons-learned might inform other programs of study.

Background: In the past few decades, the regulatory affairs profession has become more internationalized. This prompted the need for new competencies grounded in the transnational and cross-disciplinary contexts in which these professionals are required to operate.

Methodology: A convenience sample of experienced regulatory affairs professionals from multiple disciplines contributed to the development of transnational competencies for a master’s program in regulatory affairs using a transdisciplinary framework.

Contribution: An applied exemplar in which to understand how transdisciplinary characteristics can be communicated and applied in higher education.

Recommendations for Practitioners: This paper recommends how competencies developed from a regulatory affairs program can serve as exemplars for other applied transdisciplinary higher education programs.

Impact on Society: This framework provides a seldom-used reflective approach to regulatory affairs education that utilizes cross-disciplinary theory to inform competence-based formation of professionals.

Authors: MORAIS Augusto Ramalho de , VILLA Fabíola , GONZALES Guido Gustavo Humada , MORAIS Elisa Carvalho de
Published: July 2018

A utilização de modelos estatísticos na estimação de tamanho de parcela experimental é prática que contribui no planejamento experimental com escolha de tamanho que propicie melhor eficiência na comparação dos tratamentos. Este trabalho teve por objetivo apresentação de alguns modelos com a finalidade de coloca-los como alternativas na determinação do tamanho ótimo de parcelas em experimentos. Foram propostos alguns modelos não lineares com configuração simples e semelhante à do modelo proposto pela técnica da máxima curvatura modificada, os quais são deriváveis e possuindo função de curvatura. Foi obtida a função de curvatura para cada modelo e por meio do ponto crítico da derivada da função de curvatura obtiveram-se os estimadores do tamanho da parcela. Os modelos se mostraram viáveis para serem utilizados na estimação de tamanho de parcelas com estimadores mais simples do que aquele obtido por Meier e Lessman. Como ilustração, para aplicação da proposta e compará-los com o método da máxima curvatura modificado foram utilizados dados de dois ensaios de uniformidade.

Authors: PEREIRA Renato Nunes , LEANDRO Roseli Aparecida , GARCIA Antonio Augusto Franco , SOUZA JUNIOR Cláudio Lopes , FERREIRA Iuri Emmanuel de Paula
Published: July 2018

O objetivo do mapeamento de QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci} é identificar sua posição no genoma, isto é, identificar em qual cromossomo está e qual sua localização nesse cromossomo, bem como estimar seus efeitos genéticos. Uma vez que as localizações dos QTL não são conhecidas a priori, marcadores são usados frequentemente para auxiliar no seu mapeamento. Alguns marcadores podem estar altamente ligados a um ou mais QTL e, dessa forma eles podem mostrar uma alta associação com a característica fenotípica. Os valores fenotípicos de uma característica quantitativa são normalmente descritos por um modelo linear. Geralmente, um grande número de marcadores são utilizados no modelo linear no processo de associação e dessa forma o modelo especificado contém um número elevado de parâmetros a serem estimados. No entanto, é esperado que muitos destes parâmetros sejam não significativos, necessitando de um tratamento especial. Neste trabalho é proposta a utilização de dois modelos que utilizam distribuições a priori de encolhimento: Lasso Bayesiano e o Estimador Horseshoe. Para avaliar o desempenho dos modelos na determinação da associação entre marcadores e QTL, realizou-se um estudo de simulação. Foi analisada a associação entre marcadores e QTL utilizando  a característica fenotípica produção de grãos. A implementação computacional dos algoritmos foi feita utilizando a linguagem C e executada no pacote estatístico R.

Authors: FIDALGO Angel Manuel , QUINTANILLA COBIAN Maria Laura
Published: July 2018

The main objective of this simulation study was to explore the effect of shape of the  θ distribution on the generalized nominal and ordinal Mantel-Haenszel statistics used for detecting DIF in polytomous items. The variables manipulated were: trait ( θ), distribution shape (normal, positively skewed, and platykurtic),  θ  distribution difference between the reference and the focal group (equal and unequal), sample size (500/ 500 and 500/250 examinees in the reference/focal group), and DIF conditions (No DIF, constant and shift-high DIF patterns). The generalized ordinal Mantel-Haenszel statistic was calculated using integer and log-rank scores. The results show: a) a little impact of the  θ distribution shape on the performance of all the statistics, and b) the advantages of employing log-rank scores, especially when the items show a shift-high DIF pattern.

Borderlands Tales: Representations of the U.S.-Mexico Border in The Bridge (2013-2014)
Authors: Antoszek Ewa
Published: July 2018

Even though border scholars have for a long time reached a consensus regarding arbitrariness of borders as artificial human constructs, it seems that in the second decade of the twenty-first century “political borders separating peoples remain pervasive and problematic” (Ganster 2016, xv). Globalization and people’s flows at the beginning of the twenty-first century both opened some borders to international trade or services and at the same time turned other borders into almost completely impenetrable territories with its status reinforced by legislation and militarization, with the U.S.-Mexican border as the best example of the play between those antagonistic forces pulling together and pushing apart at the same time people and spaces on both sides of the border. As such the U.S.-Mexico border “provides a paradigmatic case of global border development” (2016, xvi) and hence the purpose of this paper is to analyze how the transformations of the concept of the border that took place at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries are reflected in American popular media on the basis of the TV series, The Bridge (2013-2014). In addition, the article will also examine the way the region is presented in the series, thus creating specific borderlands tales and contributing to the scholarship on the border.
“Slavery with a smile” - the media controversy about children’s literature on the topic of slavery and the rhetoric of the publishing industry
Authors: Klęczaj-Siara Ewa
Published: July 2018

Discussions about the appropriateness of American children’s books on ethnic and racial issues have recently become headlines in American daily newspapers. Journalists and opinion writers are questioning the themes and the perspectives of the authors. While some believe there must be limitations on what is published for young readers, others claim any kind of censorship is a violation of the freedom of speech. The paper will provide examples of media debates concerning recently published books for children. Among others it will discuss the controversy about Ramin Ganeshram’s picture book A Birthday Cake for George Washington published in 2016 and no longer distributed because of its “sanitized” vision of slavery.
Quality of Marketing Education and the Performance of Marketing Graduates in Nigeria
Authors: Agu Agu Godswill
Published: July 2018

This study surveyed the views of marketing educators, practitioners and graduating students over the increasing gap between marketing theory and practice in Nigeria which has led to the displacement of marketing graduates from marketing positions in many companies across various industries. The survey research design was adopted while a convenience sample size of 180 respondents was used. The respondents were drawn from Marketing lecturers and students in tertiary institutions offering Marketing in the South-east and South-south, as well as industry managers. The study revealed that the level of synergy between marketing theory and practice in Nigeria was poor which results in poor performance of marketing graduates and that the quality of marketing education and methods adopted in teaching the subject matter have high impact on graduates’ performance. It was recommended among others that tertiary institutions offering marketing should seek strong linkage, relationship and knowledge coalition with industry players and employers of labour and that NUC, NIMN and institutional authorities should put an eagle eye on the quality of lecturers, materials and learning environment in order to boost the quality and relevance of marketing education.
The Tenure Arrangement Of Primary Constitutional Organ Leaders In Indonesian Constitutional System
Authors: Anggono Bayu Dwi
Published: July 2018

The tenure arrangement of primary constitutional organ leaders is required as the implementation of power limitation principle and the manifestation of political equality principle as the characteristic of democratic state. The tenure arrangements of primary constitutional organ leaders in Indonesia have four models: tenure arrangement through the 1945 Constitution, tenure arrangement through Law, tenure arrangement which is not regulated by law but regulated  in the constitutional organs’ internal regulation, and tenure arrangement which is not regulated by law as well as internal regulation. The problem in this paper is: First, how is the arrangement of leadership tenure in the  constitutional organs according to the Indonesian legislation system. Second, how to adjust the arrangement of constitutional organ leader in order to provide legal certainty and prevent conflict that can disrupt organs’ performance. The arrangement through the Constitution is the most powerful model in term of legal certainty regarding that the Constitution is in the highest national legal order and materials related to the structure and organization of primary constitutional organs constitute the Constitution’s substance. The model not regulated in law but regulated in internal regulation prone to cause conflict because every member of the constitutional organs which meets the requirements may change the internal regulation at any time. To avoid this conflict, this paper concludes that it requires the change of regulation regulating the tenure of constitutional organ leaders so that it is no longer regulated in the constitutional organs’ internal regulations, but it is set  in the 1945 Constitution or at least in the Law in order to have a better legal certainty.
A Prospect and Challenges for Adopting Constitutional Complaint and Constitutional Question in the Indonesian Constitutional Court
Authors: Faiz Pan Mohamad
Published: July 2018

A jurisdiction of the Indonesian Constitutional Court concerning constitutional adjudication is only limited to review the constitutionality of national law. There is no mechanism for challenging any decision or action made by public authorities that violate fundamental rights enshrined in the Indonesian Constitution. This article argues that constitutional complaint and constitutional question might be adopted as new jurisdictions of the Indonesian Constitutional Court in order to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights of its citizen. It also identifies main problems that will be faced by the Constitutional Court in exercising constitutional complaint and constitutional question. For instance, the Court will be burdened with too many cases as experienced by other countries.  A clear mechanism for filtering applications lodged to the Constitutional Court and the time limit for deciding cases are important elements that have to be regulated to overcome the problems. In addition, the institutional structure of the Constitutional Court has to be improved, particularly to support its decision- making process.
The Common Access as Pro People Management of Natural Resources (An Analysis of Decision Number 3/PUU-VIII/2010 about Judicial Review of Law 27/2007)
Authors: Tobroni Faiq , Kamala Izzatin
Published: July 2018

This paper aims to explore the new concept as an alternative management of natural resources (specifically Coastal Areas and Small Islands/CA-SI). In Decision Number 3/PUU-VIII/2010 (the Court Decision), the Constitutional Court uses the new concept as considerations to cancel the Concession Rights on Coastal Waters (CR-CW) as the mechanism of management of CA-SI in Law Number 27 Year 2007 about Management of Coastal Area and Small Islands (Law 27/2007). Some important questions in this paper are why did the Constitutional Court annul CR-CW in Law 27/2007? Whether the new concept offered in the Court Decision and consistent with 1945 Constitution? And how is the new concept offered consistent with people empowerment?The revoke of CR-CW in Law 27/2007 is caused that the concept of concession is contrary to the norms of natural resources management in the 1945 Constitution and the spirit of people empowerment.

Ethics supervision of constitutional justices is an important issue for the development of ethics supervision system in the Constitutional Court, because the supervision of constitutional justices is a means of maintaining the independence and impartiality of constitutional justices, which is in fact the main pillar of an independent judiciary. In its development, there has always been a debate about the ethics supervision of the constitutional justices, whether the justices should be overseen externally or internally. This is because, juridically, the law does not regulate it clearly. Based on the above background, the research issues drawn are: (1) What is the significance of ethics supervision toward constitutional justices ?; (2) What is the system of ethics supervision of constitutional justices according to Indonesia’s current positive law, (3) How to reconstruct the system of ethics supervision of constitutional justices more optimally in the future? Based on the result of the research entitled “Reconstruction of Ethics Supervision System toward Constitutional Justice”, the following conclusions are obtained: (1) Based on philosophical, juridical and empirical perspective, ethics supervision of constitutional justices has important meaning in order to maintain and uphold the honor, dignity, and the behavior of constitutional justices. (2) Based on the analysis of the evolution of the ethics supervision system, the result shows that the ethics supervision system toward constitutional justices which is always changing indicates that there is still no standard system as a guideline for the enforcement of alleged violation of ethics against the constitutional justices. Therefore, there is a need for normative reconstruction of the ethics supervision system toward constitutional justices through legislation. (3) The reconstruction of the ethics supervision system toward constitutional justices can be done through: a. Amendment to the 1945 Constitution by adding a new norm governing the provision on ethics supervision system toward constitutional justices, b. Amendment to the Constitutional Court Law.

Increasing the land area to the sub-optimal, including the very saline areas can be the alternate development of agriculture. One of the main obstacles due to the salinity is the water deficit or water dehydration which is caused by the low potential of water from the medium on which the crops grow. There are several factors that cause the soil to be saline, ie, intensive evaporation, chemical fertilization on a continuous basis and the most important is the intrusion of sea water.  Plant response to salinity shows the difference that depends on the type of plant and plant resistance to salinity.

Marriage is a matter advocated by religion. This is because marriage is a encouraging behavior for the realization of Maqashid al-Shariah, precisely Hifdz al-Nasl (keeping the offspring). But the reality is there to be worse when it turns out the marriage ushers humans on conditions that are not better and even worse. The facts on the ground are that many young mothers die after childbirth due to maturation factors of the sexual organs and immature labor, and other social anomalies. Whereas the idealism of marriage is accompanying children and grandchildren to prosper. In psychology studies mentioned that marriages are built not on the basis of emotional maturity susceptible to problems. This fact provides a logical consequence, that the marriage proposal for every youth does not apply to everyone. Married advice is only for young people who have psychological maturity. This is called takhsish bi al-'aqli bi thariqi al-musnahadah. By using this takhsis analysis it can be taken to understand that the advisable youth (الشباب ) married on the content of the hadith is only specific to the adult youth of 25 years. The conclusions of this study are: 1) The meaning of "al-Shabab" in the hadith of marriage recommendation is a certain young man aged 25 years. 2) The category "Istitha'ah" in marriage based on the hadith of marriage recommendation is the ability of marriage financing and psychological maturity.
