Cool and Hot Executive Functions in Relation to Aggression and Testosterone/Cortisol Ratios in Male Prisoners
Authors: NC Kuin , J De Vries , EJA Scherder , J Van Pelt , EDM Masthoff
Published: July 2019

‘Cool’ executive functions (EF) refer to logical and strategic cognitive processes such as planning and reasoning, whereas ‘hot’ EF include affect-driven cognitive processes, such as risk-taking in decision making. In the present crosssectional study was investigated whether prisoners perform worse than non-prisoners on measures of hot and cool EF. Subsequent objectives were to determine if performance on tasks of executive functioning was related to measures of (reactive and proactive) aggression within the offender group, and whether testosterone and cortisol influenced the latter relationship. Male prisoners (n = 125) and a non-offender control group (n = 32) completed frequently applied measures of hot and cool EF (assessed with the Iowa Gambling task and Wisconsin Card Sorting Task respectively). Aggression characteristics in prisoners were assessed through self-report questionnaires, behavioural observations, and conviction histories. Endogenous testosterone and cortisol levels were obtained through saliva samples, while prenatal testosterone exposure was determined using the finger length of the index and ring fingers (the ‘2D:4D ratio’). The results indicated that prisoners performed significantly worse than non-prisoners on cool EF, and to a lesser extent on hot EF, but no meaningful relationship could be proven between measures of EF and aggression in the offender group. Weak to moderate significant correlations were found between testosterone/cortisol ratios (not prenatal testosterone exposure) and hot EF as well as self-reported aggression. These results lead to the conclusion that prisoners show significant problems in cool and hot EF compared to non-prisoners. These problems are not clearly associated with characteristics of aggression, but preliminary results indicate that these may be related to having high endogenous testosterone levels relative to cortisol levels.

Published: July 2019

It is shown that the chemical composition of the litter falls and wood of deciduous and coniferous trees is different. On the background of aerotechnogenic pollution, accumulation of individual heavy metals, an increase in ash content was noted. There was revealed the anthropogenic dynamics of the accumulation of heavy metals in the wood of trees: the maximum number during the period of diesel traction; as the railway site is electrified, the accumulation of elements decreases. The obtained data can be recommended to be used for phytoremediation at sites subject to pollution. The obtained data will be the basis for assessing the phytoextractive potential of woody plants, in diagnosing aero-technogenic pollution of the environment, solving the problem of reducing environmental risks, as well as during the modernization and planning of environmental measures in the field of railway infrastructure.

Authors: Rogova N.S. , Ryzhakova N.K. , Borisenko A.L.
Published: July 2019

A study was conducted on the content of chemical elements in the epiphytic moss of Pylaisia polyantha (Hedw.) V.S.G. The moss samples were taken from 6 background areas of the West Siberian region, as well as in the city of Tomsk. The content of chemical elements is determined using neutron activation analysis. The hypothesis about the normal/log-normal distribution of the concentrations of chemical elements was tested using the χ2 criterion; asymmetry and kurtosis were used for samples less than 20. When the hypothesis is confirmed, the background concentrations of chemical elements are defined as mean values ±2σ. The concentrations of each background area are subject to the normal distribution law. For the overwhelming number of elements, the anthropogenic background of the city of Tomsk is 2 times or more natural.

Authors: Aimi Asyrani Zamri Nur , Harith Sakinah , Mohd Yusoff Noor Aini , Mat Hassan Nurulhuda , Ong Ying Qian
Published: July 2019

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is estimated to be the eleventh leading cause of disability worldwide. In Asian countries, OA is much less well-known than in the caucasian population and strongly associated with aging. Therefore, this article focuses comprehensively on the prevalence, risk factors and primary prevention for OA identified in Asian countries.
 
Methods: This scoping review used the methodological framework by Arksey and O'Malley (2005). Pertaining to this topic, a comprehensive search on academic journals published from 2008 to 2018 (English) was conducted.
 
Results: A total of 30 studies were selected in this review from 221,510 studies screened from electronic databases. The overall prevalence of OA is in a range of 20.5% to 68.0%. Most of the Asian populations reported to have knee OA in a range of 13.1% to 71.1% in various Asian countries. Risk factors that have been associated with OA are advanced age, being the female and obesity. Osteoporosis, higher body mass density, low level of education, family history of OA, smoking and environmental factors appeared as significant risk factors for OA. A strategic method of primary prevention for OA through lifestyle modification is reducing obesity and treating concomitant cardiovascular disease.
Conclusion: Determining OA prevalence and risk factors will provide important information for planning future cost-effective preventive strategies.

Published: July 2019

Introduction: Emergency wards today are facing with an increasing numbers of older patients. Therefore, it seems important and essential to develop a short screening tool with an acceptable predictive power to identify the seniors being discharged from hospital and mean while are at risk of a decline in physical and mental performance, and thus, facing re-admission emergency wards in hospitals.
 
Methods: This prospective study was performed on 190 randomly selected elderly people being discharged from emergency centers in Sabzevar city. Data were collected using Identification of Seniors at Risk (ISAR), GHQ-12 and Barthel questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods including Pearson correlation coefficient and area under the ROC curve were used for data analysis.
 
Results: Within the six months period of follow up,  the accuracy of ISAR tool for predicting functional and mental performance decline was at a moderate level (AUC = 0.74 , AUC = 0.77 ) but at desirable level for both physical and mental performances, as a whole condition (AUC = 0.84).
 
Conclusion: ISAR has moderate accuracy to predict the risk of physical or mental decline in elderly people six months after discharge from hospital emergency wards

Authors: Boskabadi Hassan , Moradi Ali , Zakerihamidi Maryam
Published: July 2019

Background: Biochemical markers including interleukins (ILs) has been proposed for early diagnosis of asphyxia. Objective: This study has aimed to systematically review the significance of IL measurements in the diagnosis of perinatal asphyxia.
Materials and Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus databases before 2017 were searched for the following keywords: asphyxia, neonatal, interleukin, and diagnosis. A total of 13 out of 300 searched papers were finally selected for evaluation. Interleukins under study were IL6 and interleukin 1β (IL-1β). Interleukins had been measured in 10 studies by serum samples, 2 studies by samples of Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF), and 1 study by sample of umbilical cord blood. The inclusion criteria were: studies on neonates, with adequate information from the test results and studies using markers other than ILs to detect asphyxia; however, studies with only abstracts available were excluded.
Results: Research on the issue suggests that IL6 > 41 Pg/dl has the sensitivity of 84.88% and the specificity of 85.43%, whereas IL-1β > 4.7 Pg/dl has the sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 83% in the diagnosis of neonatal asphyxia. Among diagnostic ILs for neonatal asphyxia, combination of IL6 and IL-1β had the highest sensitivity, that is, 92.9%.
Conclusion: IL6 and IL-1β of serum samples were used in the early diagnosis of perinatal asphyxia and are useful predictors for the outcomes of perinatal asphyxia and its intensity. In addition, simultaneous evaluation of IL-1β and IL6 can improve the sensitivity of the early diagnosis of perinatal asphyxia.

Authors: Bagherpour Hoda , Karimpour Malekshah Abbasali , Talebpour Amiri Fereshteh , Azadbakht Mohammad
Published: July 2019

Background: Deltamethrin (DM) is one of the environmental factors that can have destructive effects on the male fertility. Green tea (GT) as a medicinal herb, has antioxidant property.
Objective: The present study investigated the protective role of GT extract in improving the harmful effects of DM on the testis.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 35 adult male mice (25–30 gr) were divided in to five groups (n = 7/each). The control group received only normal saline. Sham received 0.2 ml corn oil. Green tea group received only GT of 150 mg/kg. bw; deltamethrin group received the DM at a dose of 0.6 mg/kg. bw; GT + DM received both GT and DM. The effect of GT was assessed by measuring oxidative stress markers, sperm parameters, histological and immunohistochemical analysis.
Results: The results showed that the count and motility of spermatozoa, testosterone, and Malondialdehyde significantly decreased (p < 0.001) and the abnormal spermatozoa increased (p < 0.001) in DM group compared to control group. Moreover, enhanced caspase-3expression and apoptosis were observed in DM-treated mice compared to control group. Histologically, DM with a degenerative effect on testicular tissue reduced the spermatogenesis progenitor cells. The epithelial height and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules were also reduced in the DM group. Treatment with GT in the DM-treated mice significantly improved these changes.
Conclusion: With these findings, it was concluded that the GT treatment with antioxidant activity and anti-apoptotic property could protect the testicular injury induced by DM.
Is there any relationship between mutation in CPS1 Gene and pregnancy loss?
Authors: Talebi Mehrdad , Yahya Vahidi Mehrjardi Mohammad , Kalhor Kambiz , Dehghani Mohammadreza
Published: July 2019

Background: Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) is a liver-specific enzyme with the lowest enzymatic rate, which determines the overall rate of the other reactions in the pathway that converts ammonia to carbamoyl phosphate in the first step of the urea cycle. Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency (CPS1D), which usually presents as lethal hyperammonemia, is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disease.
Case: We report a case of a two-day-old female neonate with lethal hyperammonemia. The newborn infant was presented with hyperammonemia (34.7 μg/ml; reference range 1.1–1.9). In Plasma amino acid analysis, there was a significant elevated levels of alanine (3,004 μmol/L; reference range, 236–410 μmol/L), glutamine (2,256 μmol/L; reference range, 20–107 μmol/L), asparagine (126 μmol/L; reference range, 30–69 μmol/L), glutamic acid (356 μmol/L; reference range, 14–192 μmol/L), aspartic acid (123 μmol/L; reference range, 0–24 μmol/L), and lysine (342 μmol/L; reference range, 114–269 μmol/L). We cannot diagnose the urea cycle disorder (UCD) CPS1D properly only based on the quantity of biochemical intermediary metabolites to exclude other UCDs with similar symptoms. Following next generation sequencing determined one homozygous mutation in CPS1 gene and also this mutation was determined in her parents. The identified mutation was c.2758G > C; p.Asp920His, in the 23 exon of CPS1. This novel homozygous mutation had not been reported previously.
Conclusion: We applied whole exome sequencing successfully to diagnose the patient with CPS1D in a clinical setting. This result supports the clinical applicability of whole exome sequencing for cost-effective molecular diagnosis of UCDs.

Published: July 2019

Introduction: Ebola is a viral infection with a high mortality risk and health workers are considered as an at-risk group. The main aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitude of health workers about Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Yazd city, Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 110 health workers in health centres of Yazd city, Iran in 2015, who were selected by cluster random sampling method. The tool for data collection was a researcher-made questionnaire including demographic information as well as knowledge and attitude questions about EVD with confirmed validity and reliability. Data were analysed by statistical tests of Student’s T-test, Chi-square, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: The mean score of the participants' knowledge and attitude were 25.16± 3.58 (range 0-46) and 46.59±4.05 (range 13-65), respectively. More than half of the health workers did not know transmission routes of EVD. However, 59.6% of them were aware that the one way to prevent the disease was to avoid contact with an infected person. A significant correlation was also found between knowledge and attitude scores (P< 0.001, r= 0.384).
Conclusion: Since knowledge of the health workers was at the moderate level, training courses and interventional programs are recommended for health care workers especially about transmission routes and signs of EVD to increase the Knowledge and attitude of the participants

Introduction: Tension and chaos are considered as a socioeconomic phenomenon that can have adverse effects on individuals, organizations, and the community if not properly managed. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the factors affecting the formation of tension and chaos among nurses of Yazd Province, Iran.
Methods: This exploratory mixed methods research was conducted on nurses selected from 10 out of 31 hospitals of the province through cluster sampling and proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using interview and a researcher-developed questionnaire. In total, 376 individuals were enrolled. The validity of the questionnaires was evaluated by face and content validity, and its reliability was verified using Cronbach's alpha test.
Results: Out of 47 factors identified, 44 factors explained 70% of the tension construct. These factors were classified into seven categories and confirmatory factor analysis was used to verify the construct validity of the categories. The results showed acceptable initial clustering. Moreover, financial and economic factors, work conditions and job security were identified as the most important factors for explaining the studied construct.
Conclusion: Given the issues discussed and viewpoints expressed about the seven categories identified regarding the strike by hospital directors, human resources area must be paid special attention and measures beyond changing the name of the administrative unit to human resources or human capital must be taken.

Authors: Dutta Sayani , Bharucha Erach
Published: July 2019

Background: Piped water systems are considered to be the gold standard for drinking water according to the Joint Water Monitoring Study. However, poor maintenance of distribution pipes, intermittency of water supply, and sewage water intrusion have contributed to a number of water-borne disease episodes in developed and developing countries.
Methods: This study investigated the risk burden related to drinking water and sanitation in population clusters of Pune, western India that are being served by a piped distribution system through a cross-sectional survey. Two-stage stratified convenience sampling was carried out. The city was divided into administrative wards of which the city center, the neo-urban and the peri-urban settlement were selected. In the second step a higher (HSG) and a lower socioeconomic group (LSG) were selected from each of the three studied wards. A questionnaire including close-ended items was used to conduct the survey.
Results: In 2711 individuals studied, risk burden related to drinking water and sanitation was found to be higher in the LSG; 60% (677 of 1121), 70% (1029 of 1473) , 74% (1325 of 1791) from the LSGs did not have a private water tap and continuous water supply, and did not treat the water at the household level, respectively. 98% (1403 of 1426) had neither a private water tap nor a private sanitary facility. The socioeconomic difference was significant (p<0.0001). 51 (3.5%) individuals from the LSGs and 42 (3.49%) ones from HSGs reported having suffered from severe diarrhea in the recall period of 2 years. Although the number of disease cases was lower than the overall risk burden, the potential of the latter to cause a disease outbreak cannot be eliminated.
Conclusion: The study highlights that piped drinking water system which is considered as a safe source can become a source of pathogenic microorganisms if not properly maintained. A holistic approach to risk assessment, i.e., from the catchment and its source water to the consumer, is required.

Published: July 2019

Introduction: Anemia is one of the major public health problems among pregnant women in the world. It causes low birth weight and maternal mortality during pregnancies. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anemia and its associated factors among pregnant women.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 pregnant women in Shirvan city, Iran in 2015. For sampling, each of the three centers in this city were considered as a single cluster and the number of required participants from each center was selected proportional to the number of pregnant women covered by each center using systematic approach. Data collected from health records of families using a checklist were analyzed by descriptive statistics and appropriate statistical tests including chi- square, Fisher's exact, and McNemar's test.
Results: The age mean ± SD of the pregnant women was 29.9 ± 5.3 with a range of 16-40 years. Most of pregnant women were in the age group of 18-35 (84.5%) years, had high school education (65.8%), and were housewives (87.8%). The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in the first and third trimester were 4.75% (CI95%: 2.66%-6.84%) and 16% (CI95%: 12.40%- 19.60%), respectively. Prevalence of anemia increased in the third trimester (p<0.01).
Conclusion: Shirvan is one of the areas with a mild prevalence of anemia. However, iron deficiency anemia, as a nutritional disorder can be prevented. Therefore, community-based interventions should be implemented considering the identified associated factors.

Authors: Rafiei Sima , Mohebbifar Rafat , Ranjbar Mohammad , Akbarirad Fatemeh
Published: July 2019

Background: One of the most important methods for improving the fair access of people to health services is the family physician program, which is facing many challenges. One of these challenges is the lack of policymakers' understanding of physicians' preferences regarding the provisions of the family physician contract. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate general practitioners' preferences regarding the type of family doctor contract in one of the underprivileged regions of Iran.
Methods: An analytical-cross-sectional study was conducted among 150 general practitioners (GPs) who registered in Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MoHME) family physician plan and were working in the health network of deprived regions in Iran. A discrete choice experiment (DCE) questionnaire was developed by the researchers and then distributed to GPs. Results were analyzed using Ordered Logistic Regression.
Data were collected using a questionnaire designed by orthogonal method in SPSS 20. Data analysis was performed using logistic regression model in Stata 13 software.
Results: Findings revealed that “type of employer” had the most significant effect on GPs’ preferences (OR = 2.5), followed by “allocating quota for admission to medical specialty courses after 5 years” (OR = 2.25), being allowed to give medical services to population without geographical restriction (OR = 2.8), being allowed to provide services out of the defined service packet (OR =   1.4), and “decreased length of contract” (OR  =  0.93).
Conclusion: The amendment of the provisions of the family physician contract in accordance with physicians' preferences increases the probability of their participation in and compliance with the family physician program.
However, the compliance of the provisions of this contract with relevant international standards and upstream laws of the country should be maintained as much as possible.

INTERNALISASI METODE HAFALAN AL-QUR’AN DALAM TRADISI ṢALÂT TAQWIYAH AL-HIFZH (STUDI LIVING HADITS DI PONDOK PESANTREN USYAQIL QUR’AN TALANGSARI JEMBER)
Authors: Luthfiyah Siti Nur Azizahtul
Published: July 2019

Memorizing the Koran becomes a part that is not released from the guarding of Allah SWT towards the authenticity of the Qur'an. However, the method of memorizing the Koran did not receive special attention and priority in the authoritative texts of the Islamic religion even though at the same time the authoritative texts, - especially the hadith, explained a lot of small and trivial matters. But PP. Usyaqil Qur'an has one of the traditional rituals relating to memorizing the Qur'an, - which are not practiced by many memorizers of the Qur'an elsewhere. Furthermore, they rely on the tradition to the Prophet. To that end, the author will examine the traditional phenomenon ṣalat taqwiyah al-hifzh as one of the hadith phenomena which the community has lived (living hadith) in order to know the practice of the prayer tradition and to know their understanding of the foundation of the prayer. The phenomenology approach, interview method, and observation were chosen by the researcher to find out directly the implementation of the tradition based on the perspective of the research object.

pain control was analyzed in patients undergoing lumbar microdiscectomy. Methods: Sixty
adult patients scheduled to undergo elective, single-level lumbar discectomy
were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (Control), the subcutaneous tissue group
(Group C), which received 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine in the subcutaenous tissue,
the superficial fascia group (Group F), which received 12 ml bupivacaine in the
subcutaneous tissue and 8 ml in the space below the lumbar superficial fascia,
and the dura group (Group D), which received a total of 20 ml (100 mg) of
bupivacaine, consisting of 10 ml in the subcutaneous tissue, 8 ml in the space below
the lumbar superficial fascia, and 2 ml on the dura. Visual
Analog Scale Values (VAS) on postoperative 0, 15, 30, 45 minutes, at 1, 2, 4, 6,
12 and 24th hour and time of the first analgesic need were evaluated
for all patients and recorded. Results: While
mean VAS value measured at min 0 (as soon as the patient awakened) was 2.3 ± 1.2
in Group D; it was 2.7 ± 0.9 in Group C; 2.7 ± 1.0 in Group F and 3.1 ± 0.6 in
control group (p = 0.232). At the
end of 1th hour, mean VAS value was recorded as 2.8 ± 1.0 in Group D; 3.6 ± 1.5 in Group C; 3.6 ± 1.1 in Group F and 4.4 ± 1.1 in control group (p = 0.005). In Group D, 0.5% bupivacaine
administered as 2, 8, 10 ml onto dura, fascia and subcutaneously was detected
to provide significantly lower VAS values and significantly longer first
analgesic need time.

Conclusions: 0.5% bupivacaine administered onto
dura, under lumbar superficial fascia and in subcutaneous tissue was detected
to be a simple, effective and safe method in lumbar microdiscectomy operations.
Homosexual parenthood in children’s literature
Authors: Jindra Miroslav
Published: July 2019

Homosexuality in children’s literature is still a controversial topic in many countries of the world. Not only are people afraid to talk about this theme with children, they do not know how. The history of this topic in children’s literature dates back to the 80s of the 20th century, when the first books were published. In 20th century, human society went through many changes which were reflected in all the fields of art (theatre, fine arts, literature, etc.). Writers had a need to familiarise children readers with ‘taboo topics’ such as homosexuality, death, drugs, etc. They wanted to introduce homosexuals as ordinary men and women, who live their own lives with their joys and worries. Today, we can find three main themes in children’s literature: coming out, the life of homosexuals and homosexual parenthood. Each theme has its own specifics and typical reader age group of children or youth. This characterisation can help us to deeper identify the topic. The literature offers children and youth better and easier cognition of the world with its differences. The aim is to learn about the history of homosexuality in children’s literature and go deeper into its individual themes, especially homosexual parenthood. Children need to know everything about life and have no taboos. Why are we afraid to talk about it?

Este artigo discute se as informações contábeis divulgadas pelo Grupo OI subsidiavam a previsão da materialização do risco de insolvência (pedido de recuperação judicial). Fundamentado no modelo de previsão de insolvência de Brito e Assaf Neto (2008) e da análise dos Balanços Patrimoniais, Demonstrações do Resultado e do Fluxo de Caixa, Relatórios de Sustentabilidade e da Administração e Notas Explicativas divulgados entre 2009 e 2015, constatou-se que os seguidos processos de reestruturação societária geraram operações descontinuadas; aumento de despesas financeiras e endividamento; queda nas Unidades Geradoras de Receita e baixa na geração de recursos, conduzindo a empresa a insolvência.

Este artigo buscou analisar os aspectos facilitadores, dificultadores e principais focos de conflito do processo sucessório de uma empresa familiar considerada de grande porte. Metodologicamente, trata-se de um estudo de caso único, com abordagem qualitativa e enfoque descritivo. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e pesquisa documental. Conclui-se que o caso apresentou bem mais aspectos facilitadores do que dificultadores na condução dos processos, entre eles: o planejamento sucessório à longo prazo, programa de incentivo e de formação de lideranças incorporado à cultura, a formalização da governança corporativa, a preparação e a orientação para os herdeiros.

Vive-se uma nova era onde é crescente o desafio em conciliar consumismo e preservação dos recursos naturais garantindo o desenvolvimento sustentável. Neste contexto, a tendência dos diversos seguimentos empresariais é de contribuir na busca por este equilíbrio, se adequando à legislação vigente e valendo-se de políticas públicas capazes de viabilizar mecanismos de efetiva gestão ambiental. Os empreendimentos potencialmente poluidores, que inclui os postos de abastecimento, têm sido cobrados tanto pelos órgãos de fiscalização ambiental quanto pela própria sociedade, por serem causadores de impactos ambientais. Buscando contribuir com a busca de sistemas adequados de gestão ambiental em postos de abastecimento de combustíveis, o presente estudo apresenta um diagnóstico da gestão dos resíduos e efluentes em tais empreendimentos localizados no município de Araguatins – TO. Através da aplicação de questionários a funcionários e gestores, bem como, entrevista junto ao órgão ambiental competente, o Instituto Natureza do Tocantins (Naturatins), o estudo foi complementado com a distribuição de folders educativos em cada posto, estes abordando informações básicas acerca dos problemas ambientais oriundos da má gestão dos resíduos em postos de abastecimento. Durante estas etapas, verificou-se de que forma ocorre interação dos empreendimentos com o meio ambiente, quais as medidas de gestão de resíduos são tomadas atualmente, e como se dá a atuação do órgão ambiental órgão ambiental competente frente ao monitoramento e fiscalização ambiental nestes empreendimentos.  Com os resultados obtidos obteve-se que os estabelecimentos apresentam falhas na gestão dos resíduos e efluentes, apesar de estarem licenciados, uma parte encontra-se em desacordo com o exigido.

O convívio entre homens e capivaras em ambientes urbanizados pode acarretar em problemas para ambos, necessitando a criação de um plano de manejo. Desta forma, o estudo visa analisar a necessidade da elaboração de um plano de manejo em meio urbano na cidade de Itajaí – SC. Durante nov/14 a out/2015 foram analisadas flutuação e densidade populacional das capivaras, e aplicado questionários estruturados para avaliar a percepção das pessoas referente à presença das capivaras. Para saber a ocorrência de Febre Maculosa no município foi aplicada uma entrevista aos órgãos municipais. Ocorreram oscilações na média do número de capivaras durante um ano, com máxima de 20,5 ind/mês e mínima de 3,5 ind/mês, e o valor da densidade foi de 1,24 ind/ha. Dos entrevistados 57% acredita que a comunidade traz mais danos à capivara do que o contrário (51%). As pessoas reagiram positivamente quanto à presença de capivaras, sendo 82% contra a retirada dos animais do local.  Não foram constatados casos de febre maculosa no município. Os resultados são indicativos que atualmente é necessário apenas um monitoramento da população de capivaras do Saco da Fazenda. Contudo, os dados poderão servir como ferramenta para a elaboração de um futuro plano de manejo no local, caso seja preciso.
ORDENAMENTO DO TERRITÓRIO E ADAPTAÇÃO DE COMUNIDADES COSTEIRAS À ELEVAÇÃO DO NÍVEL DO MAR: AS EXPERIÊNCIAS DE NOUAKCHOTT E DE DAKAR

Published: July 2019

Zonas costeiras têm sido atrativas para populações humanas devido a importantes recursos e oportunidades que apresentam. Entretanto, a elevação do nível do mar devido às alterações climáticas tem provocado diversos impactos adversos em comunidades costeiras, tais como a submersão de terras e destruição de assentamentos, perda de recursos naturais e ecossistemas vitais para a sobrevivência, etc. Esses impactos são esperados para aumentar de intensidade e frequência, com as projeções da elevação do nível do mar para as próximas décadas. Vários instrumentos com potencial de adaptação vêm sendo investigados e aplicados. Este artigo explorou o papel potencial do ordenamento do território na adaptação de comunidades costeiras à elevação do nível do mar, considerando os cenários atuais e futuros da elevação; e apresentou e discutiu as experiências de duas cidades costeiras oeste africanas, Nouakchott (Mauritânia) e Dakar (Senegal), no uso do ordenamento do território em processos de adaptação aos impactos da elevação do nível do mar. Recorreu-se a fontes secundárias relevantes ao tema e áreas de estudo analisados. O trabalho evidenciou que o ordenamento do território constitui uma oportunidade e um instrumento potencialmente eficaz para as comunidades costeiras enfrentarem efeitos da elevação do nível do mar. Tanto em Nouakchott como em Dakar, o ordenamento do território foi adaptado inicialmente como política setorial de certos ramos de atividade e só recentemente foi assumido como um setor independente. Em ambas cidades, o ordenamento do território tem contribuído para a diminuição da vulnerabilidade da população à elevação do nível do mar. As autoridades dos dois países estão agora a considerar os efeitos da elevação do nível do mar no planeamento das cidades, o que contribuirá para que se desenvolvam de forma sustentável.
PARTICIPAÇÃO POPULAR E DECISÃO POLÍTICA: UMA CRÍTICA A AUSÊNCIA DE JUSTIFICATIVA DO PODER PÚBLICO
Authors: Britto Marcel , Oliveira Celso Maran de
Published: July 2019

A efetividade do ideal de democracia, ou seja, um governo genuinamente popular insere-se como um dos graves problemas na conformação do espaço urbano, agudizado pelo fato de serem as cidades o ambiente prevalente da vida social, marcado por grande complexidade e pelos dilemas inerentes. Na configuração política administrativa da sociedade brasileira, papel destacado foi atribuído ao ente municipal, especificamente quanto à autonomia de dispor sobre a ordenação territorial, regulando as atividades antrópicas, inclusive e especialmente a relação da sociedade com o poder, seja através do Estado, seja de forma direta pela via da participação popular. O Direito Urbanístico brasileiro apesar dos princípios constitucionais e legais apresenta uma grave deficiência: a falta de devolutiva por parte do poder público às manifestações diretas da população, eis o objetivo do estudo. Através de revisão bibliográfica, são abordados conceitos fundamentais sobre a democracia, suas formas e mecanismos, bem como aspectos que afastam o caráter participativo no processo de decisão, falha que é suprida pelo “relatório de ponderação”, instrumento presente no Direito português, que obriga o poder público a responder de forma fundamentada a todos os encaminhamentos feitos pelo povo.
