UZAJAMNO DELOVANjE SIMETRIJE I TINTINABULI TEHNIKE U KOMPOZICIJI „FRATRES“ ARVA PERTA U KORELACIJI SA IZVOĐAČKIM ASPEKTOM DELA
Authors:   University of Arts in Belgrade, Faculty of Music, Stojanović Kata
Published: February 2024

The paper deals with the compositional and performing approach to the analysis of Fratres by the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. The author’s creative credo grew out of a specific artistic and life ideology that he consistently implemented in his works, through the unique musical language tintinabuli. It is combined with the principle of static and dynamic symmetries, whereby mutual action is established between them. Both analyzes were considered according to the methodology of the American musicologist John Rink. The choice of technique applied in each variation is related to the nature of tintinabuli, which is related to the evocation of the sound of bells. Each variation presents the performer with technical problems that the musician faces, and in order to achieve the highest quality and most reliable interpretation, it is necessary to be aware of them analytically and solve them creatively. The mutual relationship between theoretical and interpretive analysis considered in the paper is coherent and corresponding. The basic principles and conclusions of both analytical approaches support the claim that creative and performing aspects are inextricably linked and dependent on each other. In order to interpret the interpretation in a stylistically and conceptually adequate way, it is necessary to put the analytical conclusions into the performance function. Nevertheless, it is necessary to show creativity and, if the need arises, to contrast theoretical conclusions with executive analysis, in order to obtain a complete and adequate result. In this way, the interpretation stands out qualitatively in relation to the traditional conception, at the same time giving it an individual stamp.
Possíveis implicações do ativismo judicial no âmbito das licitações e contratos administrativos
Authors: Rodrigues Eduardo Azeredo
Published: February 2024

Este trabalho examina a influência do ativismo judicial e da judicialização da política no campo do exercício da discricionariedade e de outras formas de autonomia e liberdade de valoração na atuação administrativa, com especial atenção no âmbito das licitações e contratos administrativos. Parte-se da investigação acerca da própria definição de discricionariedade administrativa, sua evolução e principais limites de controle, assim como do exercício de liberdades e autonomias, especialmente no tocante às licitações e contratos administrativos; bem como da constatação de que, com um novo paradigma de construção e aplicação do Direito, passa a ocorrer um maior protagonismo ativo por parte do Poder Judiciário, inclusive com a judicialização da política. Verifica-se que tal ativismo tem possíveis implicações no exercício das liberdades necessárias ao legítimo exercício das atividades administrativas, repercutindo no instituto das licitações e contratos administrativos.
Discriminação genética nos contratos de seguros
Authors: Oliveira Leonardo David Quintanilha de
Published: February 2024

Defende-se nesse artigo a posição de que, no Brasil, a segmentação genética de riscos nos contratos de seguro é, como regra geral, juridicamente permitida. Essa permissibilidade encontra amparo no dever de revelação de informações contratualmente relevantes do segurado, na autonomia privada e na tutela da gestão não temerária do fundo mutuário. A conduta de segmentação com base em dados genéticos sofre, porém, uma série de restrições decorrentes dos direitos à privacidade, ao acesso a bens e serviços essenciais e à vedação de discriminação. O ônus de transparência no tratamento de dados genéticos é intenso. A segmentação não deve recair em seguros essenciais (inclusive nos planos de saúde). Mas, em especial no seguro de vida, se as indenizações forem elevadas, prevalece a viabilidade de segmentação. De lege ferenda, sugere-se uma regulamentação que leve em consideração a complexa colisão de interesses em jogo.
Judicialização da Saúde e as Decisões estruturais
Authors: Lucietti Filho Wlademir Junior
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo aborda a judicialização sanitária brasileira em seu aspecto social e jurídico, a fim de demonstrar as dificuldades em seu enfrentamento bem como a potenciabilidade que as decisões estruturais (structural injunctions) possuem na medida em que se apresentam como grande ferramenta no auxílio da viabilização do pretendido pelo indivíduo. O status Constitucional do Direito à saúde determina ser dever do Estado assegurar esse direito por meio de políticas públicas. Desse modo, tendo o cidadão deparado com eventual falha na política pública na obtenção de consultas, exames, cirurgias, fármacos e insumos, torna-se possível que o indivíduo recorra ao judiciário a fim de garantir seu direito sanitário. Assim, com o recebimento da demanda por parte do Poder Judiciário, analisando a causa, é comum o deferimento imediato de pedidos liminares quando presentes os pressupostos, a fim de dar acesso sanitário ao cidadão requerente sob pena de multas diárias e até mesmo sequestro de valores na conta do erário. Muito se discute se a determinação judicial atrapalha ou auxilia as políticas públicas, e nesta seara, as decisões estruturais servem como auxílio para o Julgador em face dos problemas habituais e contemporâneos que envolvem a judicialização dos direitos fundamentais. Por isso, este estudo visa promover uma reflexão sobre a judicialização atual da saúde apresentando as decisões estruturais como ferramenta de auxílio.
As grades de proteção da democracia e a advocacia de estado
Authors: Albuquerque Pedro Filipe Araújo de
Published: February 2024

É público e notório que a democracia historicamente está em constante ameaça. Ao passo em que demagogos insistem em continuar surgindo em todas as partes do globo, é necessário que sejam desenvolvidas grades de proteção à democracia, mediante normas escritas, como constituições e leis que fortaleçam as instituições democráticas, e não escritas, como a tolerância mútua e a reserva institucional, de forma que se evite a prática de jogo duro constitucional. Nesse contexto, a Advocacia de Estado, que não configura advocacia de governantes, surge, na Constituição Federal de 1988, como verdadeira grade de proteção à democracia, em todos os graus da federação, ou seja, na União Federal, Estados Federados e Municípios, sobretudo porque exerce relevante controle interno de juridicidade sobre os atos praticados pela Administração Público. Além disso, por não ter vinculações partidárias e não ser submissa a interesses políticos sectários, a Advocacia de Estado pode realizar sua missão de forma imparcial. Nessa linha, um sério infortúnio a ser enfrentado é o fenômeno da captação política das Procuradorias. Para realização de seu múnus constitucional, as Procuraturas Públicas devem ser fortes, autônomas e devidamente aparelhadas. Apenas assim, a Advocacia de Estado poderá ser uma efetiva grade de proteção à democracia, cumprindo a missão desenhada pelo constituinte na Constituição Federal de 1988.
Orthodontic-Surgical Correction of a Skeletal Class III Malocclusion: Case Report
Authors: Salek Fatima
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Class III malocclusions and anterior crossbites are disturbing for patients because they are very apparent and often cause aesthetic and functional damage.

Description: The clinical case describes a 19-year-old patient in good general health attended the dento-facial orthopedics service at the Rabat Hospital Center for Dental Consultation and Treatment presenting an anterior crossbite. The clinical examination and the cephalometric analysis showed that the patient had a Class III malocclusion of maxillary and mandibular origin with hyperdivergent facial type. An orthodontic-surgical treatment was well indicated for correction of the skeletal discrepancy in three phases: presurgical orthodontic preparation, orthognathic surgery and orthodontic finishing.

Results: In reviewing the patient’s final records, the major goals set at the beginning of treatment were successfully achieved; the facial profile and proportion were significantly improved with solid functional occlusion

Conclusion: In class III malocclusion when facial aesthetics is altered, the surgical-orthodontic treatment is the most indicated for patients who do not present facial growth.

Published: February 2024

O artigo é intitulado “Os princípios para uma educação cidadã e integral e as transformações causadas pelo sistema neoliberal”. Sendo assim, o interesse por esse tema surgiu a partir da percepção da necessidade de uma escola que busque uma formação integral do cidadão. Diante do exposto busca-se analisar alguns princípios do que seja uma escola cidadã e integral e suas relações com a cidadania, levando em consideração as transformações ocorridas nelas por influência do sistema neoliberal. Para fundamentá-la teoricamente alguns autores que tratam sobre questões ligadas a educação como FREIRE (1996); CAVALIERE (2014); GADOTTI (1998), entre outros. Sendo assim, no caso presente, apresentamos um artigo de reflexão, a partir de estudos de cunho bibliográfico e baseada na análise documental, tendo o método dialético na perspectiva do materialismo histórico como o mais propício, haja vista proporcionar o confronto entre a educação que temos e a que se faz necessária para a formação integral do cidadão. Através da discussão sobre a temática proposta, novas ideias e práticas surgirão como arcabouço para novas relações no interior da escola.
ENSINO RELIGIOSO E QUESTÃO RACIAL NO AMAPÁ
Authors: SERRAO CUSTODIO ELIVALDO
Published: February 2024

Analisar sob uma visão crítica a questão racial no Brasil foi e tem sido difícil, isto porque o país apresenta uma autoimagem de uma nação racialmente democrática. Para combater e superar manifestações de racismo, preconceito, discriminação e intolerância religiosa, além de propor mudança efetiva comportamental na busca de uma sociedade democrática e plural, como resultado de um processo histórico de lutas, foram apresentadas desde o início do século XXI, novos marcos legais, no tocante à diversidade cultural e a educação antirracista. Cabe lembrarmos que os novos marcos legais não surgiram do nada. É o resultado de lutas históricas e de pressões do Movimento Negro e demais integrantes da sociedade civil, por uma educação mais includente e não racista Diante deste contexto, o artigo visa discutir sobre o Ensino religioso e a Questão Racial no Amapá. Busca-se no decorrer deste trabalho analisar os saberes, os valores e as práticas curriculares e pedagógicas na educação pública estadual, confrontando o trato deste componente com a implementação dos artigos 26-A e 79-B da LDBEN (Leis 10.639/2003 e 11.645/2008), bem como o que preconiza as demais legislações amapaenses. O trabalho trata-se do resultado de um estudo exploratório de natureza qualitativa que adotou a pesquisa bibliográfica e a análise documental como forma de investigação. O estudo demonstrou que do ponto de vista prático, a relação Ensino Religioso e Questão Racial é insuficiente no que diz respeito a uma educação pautada na diversidade e na prática antirracista. Além disso, a prática curricular da disciplina, as orientações pedagógicas e os ensinamentos estão muitas vezes, delineados sob o viés cristão, sem qualquer alusão às práticas antirracistas.

The creativity of Fyodor Rokotov in the research of A.V. Lebedev in the 1920–1930s: hypotheses, discoveries, attributions
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Stikhina Maria I.
Published: February 2024

The article reviews the contribution of Alexey Vasilievich Lebedev (1888 – 1944) to the study of the works created by F.S. Rokotov, outstanding Russian artist of the 18th century. Lebedev conducted his research in the 1920–1930s, i.e. the early years of Soviet art studies. The expansion of museum collections and identification of previously unknown works stored in private collections allowed art historians to ascertain the specific features of the creative method practiced by the 18th century Russian masters, suggest new ideas, make attributions, and expand the range of research issues. Lebedev's approach is examined using as a case study his work «F.S. Rokotov (essays for a monograph)» (1941). This work, dedicated to «identifying what is truly Rokotov’s» in the artist's legacy, became fundamental for the next generation of researchers. It is concluded that A.V. Lebedev’s publications are highly relevant to the studies of the historiography of Rokotov's creativity.

Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) is a government social assistance program that aims to reduce poverty and improve the welfare of poor families in Indonesia. The PKH program seeks to reduce this social and economic inequality by providing financial assistance based on certain conditions to beneficiary families. However, a paradox also occurred in Malang when the program budget and number of PKH recipients were from 2018 to 2021. This actually shows that PKH has not succeeded in releasing poor people from the abyss of poverty. Using the phenomenological method, this article was created to understand the business process of implementing PKH. Second, it is related to the social dynamics of PKH implementation. The author discusses how the orientation of PKH assistants as social workers is the key to supporting social and economic change for PKH Beneficiary Families (KPM). And finally, the author discusses Power Relations in the context of PKH. This discussion explains the impact of social dynamics in implementing PKH. As a result, bureaucratic and social pathology, especially in the form of corrupt behavior accompanying PKH, has become a challenge that must be overcome. Social pathology among KPM also influences the implementation of PKH. In a deeper analysis, the power relations between PKH assistants and KPM can be explained using Michel Foucault’s power relations approach, which can be correlated to understand the dynamics and interactions in PKH implementation more thoroughly.

Postmodern Feminism in John Fowles's the French Lieutenant's Woman: From Madness to Liberation
Authors:   Department of English Language and Literature, Istanbul Aydın University, Istanbul, Türkiye, Özdemir Derin
Published: February 2024

Historically, women are associated with inferiority, weakness, passivity, and emotionality, while men are linked with superiority, power, activeness and rationality. These binary oppositions between the two genders are reflected in the social hierarchy. Whenever women have tried to reclaim authorship, feminine freedom, and control over their own lives, they have been labelled as hysteric or mad. Nonetheless, from the second part of the twentieth century, postmodern feminists set out to deconstruct these false man-made conceptualizations and definitions imposed on women by embracing hysteria and madness. Ironically, they celebrate madness and turn it against itself as a way to agency and liberation. This article will argue that John Fowles’s The French Lieutenant’s Woman’s heroine, Sarah, represents the postmodern female author who deconstructs the patriarchal ideal of femininity or “the eternal feminine” and constructs a new feminine self in the Victorian era. Ultimately, it will demonstrate that Sarah deconstructs the myth of the eternal feminine by embracing madness and storytelling. Moreover, she creates and contracts her feminine identity and shows authorial control over her own life story which influences others, such as Charles.
A Brief Overview of Sepsis Induced Cardiomyopathy
Authors:   Critical Care Nurse Practitioner, University of Southern California Verdugo Hills Hospital, Los Angeles, USA, Macido Antony
Published: February 2024

Background: Sepsis continues to be one of the most frequent causes of mortality in critically ill patients globally. Septic cardiomyopathy or sepsis induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) is a phenomenon that is often undiagnosed and underdiagnosed in septic states. The significance of appropriate identification and management of SICM in the prognosis and outcomes of sepsis remain unclear. Aim: This paper provides a brief review of the incidence of SICM and its appropriate diagnosis in septic states. The paper also provides an insight into the pathophysiology of SICM and the strategies employed in the clinical management of this entity. Methods: A brief umbrella review was conducted on the incidence and diagnosis of SICM including its pathophysiology. The paper also reviewed the current evidence supporting the appropriate identification and management of SICM including any available guidelines employed in the management of it. Findings: There is no universally agreed definition of SICM. The pathophysiology of SICM is intricate and its diagnosis and management remain complex. No specific guidelines are available to date in aiding the diagnosis and management of SICM. Conclusion: Despite being a reversible phenomenon, SICM can increase the mortality associated with sepsis. Appropriate identification and management of SICM may have prognostic implications in sepsis and septic shock.

Biofortification involves breeding of staple crops that are micronutrient-dense and high yielding for example iron-biofortified beans. The biofortification of crops has been found to be cost effective and feasible to fight micronutrient deficiencies. The aim of the study was to determine the iron, zinc and total phenolic composition for the biofortified NUA 45 and Gloria sugar beans in raw as well as cooked samples with and without previous soaking. Determination of iron and zinc content in the raw, cooked bean grain samples with and without soaking was carried out by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Optical Emission Spectrometry whereas the determination of Total Phenolic Content was done using the Folin-Ciocalteau colorimetric method. The highest zinc concentration (0.295ppm) was found in raw Gloria sugar beans whilst the raw NUA 45 sugar beans had the highest iron content (0.755ppm) and total phenolic composition (352.8mg/100g). For the cooked bean samples Gloria sugar beans had the highest zinc concentration (0.247ppm) cooked after soaking. NUA 45 sugar beans had no significant difference on the zinc content after being cooked with and without soaking. Amongst the cooked samples the biofortified NUA 45 sugar beans cooked after soaking had the highest iron content (0.373ppm) as well as the highest total phenolic content in the beans cooked without soaking (200.5mg/100g). Biofortified NUA 45 and Gloria sugar beans proved to be good sources of iron, zinc and phenolic compounds. However, cooking with and without soaking diminished the iron, zinc and the total phenolic composition of the cooked NUA 45 and Gloria sugar beans.

This research was conducted because the researchers observed that students couldn't understand the process of food digestion in the human body, and they also lacked an understanding of the human digestive organs. The aim of this study was to improve students' learning outcomes on the topic of human digestive organs by using a windowed book media so that students could better understand how the process of food digestion occurs from the mouth to the esophagus. This research used a quantitative approach and various research methods, one of which was the experimental method. The experimental method can create problem-solving experiments that can make students think critically and develop scientific literacy. The results of this research show that the windowed book media on the topic of the Function of Human Digestive Organs and its Relationship with Food and Health met the criteria for validity and practicality, with an average score of 80% for language validation, which can be considered good, an average expert media validation score of 83%, or very good, and for the posttest score, the average score was 88.3, compared to the pretest score of 31.25. Therefore, the windowed book media has met the criteria for validity and can be used by teachers. Based on the research findings, the following recommendations can be made: 1) For teachers, the delivery of learning materials should be accompanied by the use of interesting media, namely the use of windowed book learning media. 2) For schools, they can encourage teachers to be more creative in creating or providing suitable learning media that support the learning process. One alternative learning media that can be used is the windowed book learning media. 3) For researchers, realizing the imperfection of this research and the development of the windowed book media, further research and development should be conducted in the future to improve this research and create a new product in the field of research and development in science subjects as well as other subjects.

The popularity of canned drinks has sparked the idea of making metal crafts from recycled cans. Usually, canned trash is used to make pen holders or other containers without prior processing. However, recycled cans can also be used to create pressed metal art. This study uses this information to identify the types of cans that can be used as components in metal works produced using pressing techniques, the manufacturing process, and the results of experiments conducted to transform used cans into metal works using pressing techniques. Observation, interviews, and documentation are used to obtain data. The findings show that the best material for metal work produced with pressing techniques is lightweight beverage cans (Tebs packaging and the like). The metal in such cans is only 0.3 mm thick, which is relatively thin, flexible, and suitable for the pressing method. This can make marks with just a few presses. The metal is very easy to shape, which saves time. The process of making used cans starts with washing them, followed by cutting them into rectangular shapes, making patterns, sticking them, tracing them with a pencil or old pen, shaping them according to the design, and finishing.

As we know that history cannot be separated from a series of events limited by the space and time in which the events occurred. Many people say that history is something static that cannot be repeated based on its context. Along with the development of human knowledge and the potential for great curiosity, it has influenced people's perspectives on history, which used to consider history as static, rigid, and even without any contribution to the advancement of scientific studies. However, this view has been shaken by the struggle of Islamic studies, where history is always dynamic, following the "pulse" of human civilization development. This article uses a heuristic method with critical analysis based on primary books, to dissect the uniqueness of the past that has a unique influence on the present and future. In this context, the effort to link the relevance of Islamic education as a field of life facing challenges is studied from various perspectives, including the historical perspective. At this point, the dynamism of Islamic education can mean developing scientific knowledge.

Hydatid disease is a zoonotic parasitic disease which rarely involves pancreas primarily. Diagnosis of pancreatic hydatid cyst is a challenge and operative skills are important to avoid spillage of cyst’s content. A 19-year-old male patient was admitted to hospital with recurrent abdominal pain which was on epigastrium and left upper quadrant of abdomen. Pain was not associated with nausea, vomiting or fever. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan was ordered. As a result of abdominal CT scan, there was a cystic area in tail of pancreas with a diameter of 5.6 cm which includes septa and there was calcification on borders of the cyst. Possible diagnosis were either pancreatic hydatid disease, pancreatic cyst adenoma or cystadenocarcinoma or pseudocyst of autoimmune pancreatitis. Whole body positron emission tomography (PET-CT) scan showed no other cyst or lesion other than pancreatic cyst. Hydatid disease indirect hemagglutination test has been studied and it was positive. Imaging studies and laboratory results were suggested hydatid disease and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy has been applied. Primary pancreatic hydatid disease should be in differential diagnosis when newly appearing pancreatic cyst has been diagnosed, especially in endemic areas. Appropriate surgical technique has to be applied to avoid dissemination of cyst’s content.

Objective: Hemorrhoidal disease, which affects nearly 40% of people, is characterized by pathological alterations and distal displacement of hemorrhoidal tissue. The short health scale (SHSHD) and the hemorrhoidal disease symptom score (HDSS) are two tools that can be utilized to assess the quality of life of hemorrhoidal patients. The present study aims to translate, modify, and validate the HDSS and SHSHD questionnaires in Indonesian.

Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed the validity and reliability of the HDSS and SHSHD Indonesian adaptation instrument in hemorrhoidal patients from April 15, 2022, and April 1, 2023.

Results: There were 91 study subjects, 55 males and 36 females. The study showed that the subscale interpretations of the R-values and the full scale scored above 0.25, indicating weak to very strong correlations. These results mean that the HDSS and SHSHD questionnaires are valid for use. Based on the study’s results, the R-value of each item, domain, and total score ≥0.8 (p< 0.05) indicates that the HDSS and SHSHD instruments are reliable.

Conclusion: The Indonesian adaptation of the HDSS and SHSHD demonstrates validity and reliability as an assessment tool for measuring the healthrelated quality of life in Indonesian patients diagnosed with hemorrhoidal disease.

Stoma prolapse is one of the most common late complications following stoma construction. Although prolapses can be managed conservatively, they often require surgical revision. This study aimed to describe a revision method called peristomal cerclage applied with local anesthesia to treat stoma prolapse. A 66-year-old male patient with advanced rectal cancer underwent sigmoid loop colostomy one year ago due to a distal occlusive tumor. A revision of the colostomy prolapse that developed postoperatively was planned. After the reduction of the 12 cm prolapse into the abdomen under local anesthesia, a repair was performed in the form of peristomal wrapping of a vessel tape; except for short-term abdominal distension, no complications developed in the patient. He is currently in the postoperative 26th month and terminal period, and his colostomy is working normally. The present report aimed to describe the peristomal cerclage method, a minimally invasive revision procedure applied to patients with stoma prolapse, and to deliver its long-term results. It is important to report the results obtained with the more widespread use of this method.
