Published: August 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo identificar e analisar alguns determinantes da Produtividade Total de Fatores (PTF) entre os estados brasileiros. A análise é feita para o período de 2010 a 2018. Para esse fim, é estimada a PTF agregada aplicando o modelo de Solow. A partir da PTF, o método de Erros Padrão Corrigidos por Painel (PCSE) é usado, testando como determinantes, variáveis ligadas ao comércio exterior, infraestrutura, Governo e educação. A PTF para o Brasil teve crescimento ínfimo no período. Contudo, alguns estados se sobressaíram na eficiência, como Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Piauí e Maranhão. Neles, a produção agropecuária tem maior relevância. Quanto aos determinantes da PTF, educação é a variável de maior importância, respondendo pela maior parte das variações positivas. As rodovias afetam a PTF positivamente, mas em contrapartida, a frota de veículos, negativamente. O comércio exterior é de grande relevância, com efeitos positivos. O Governo, por sua vez, afeta a PTF negativamente, sugerindo a ineficiência dos gastos.

Published: August 2024

Electronic government (e-government) is an effective tool to enhance accountability in public organizations. However, the implementation of e-government to enhance accountability remains unclear and involves many complex processes due to multiple accountabilities disorder. The e-government elements that contribute to mitigating the disorders and dysfunctions of accountability relationships are still underdeveloped in the current literature. This paper aims to provide an understanding of how e-government can enhance organizational accountability by reviewing the relevant literature. This research employs a systematic literature review methodology using PRISMA reporting guidelines. The authors searched for scholarly articles in the online Elsevier (Scopus) database, written in English and accessible in full text. The study utilizes data from 18 articles to conduct the systematic literature review. The findings indicate that most previous studies on the impact of e-government on accountability were published in 2009 and 2010. Additionally, the findings show that developed countries dominate the research locations with a total of 16 articles, while only 2 articles pertain to developing countries. The predominant methodology used in studies on the impact of e-government on accountability is website content analysis, accounting for 9 articles.
Restless legs syndrome
Authors: Staroseltseva Natalia
Published: August 2024

The article presents the first attempt to consider restless legs syndrome (RLS) from the point of view of systemic pathology of the nervous system that regards its pathogenesis as discordance between the program of movement formation within the central nervous system and the activity of peripheral structures that perform executive functions and constitute latent myofascial trigger point (MFTP) of the gastrocnemial muscles. The actual peripheral MFTP factor is a triggering and supporting link in the RLS pathogenesis. Pathologic changes in the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints serve as mediators in modulating the spinal reflex hyperactivity and in reducing suprasegmental inhibitory mechanisms by forming generators of pathological hyperactivity in the rostral parts of the medulla at the level of synergies of the movement construction. Typical manifestations of the RLS are developed in conditions of minimal dysfunction of the mesodiencephalon - the formation of generators of pathological hyperactivity at different levels of the movement construction system. The treatment provides for the correction of pathological mechanisms at different levels such as peripheral, vertebral, and cerebral.
Re-designing health care: transitioning thoracoscopic pleural biopsies from the operating room to the outpatient setting using simulation for training and testing
Authors: Dubé Mirette , Sleiman Rana , Atkar Rajneet , Jensen Karen , Castle Trina , Vakil Erik
Published: August 2024

Introduction

Pleuroscopy is a safe and sensitive alternative to video-assisted thoracic surgery for the diagnosis and management of malignant pleural effusion. Pleuroscopy requires fewer resources and can be offered to patients with reduced surgical fitness. A healthcare re-design project was required to establish pleuroscopy in our hospital system. These projects improve the quality and accessibility of care for patients and often result in multiple changes occurring simultaneously within a complex system. The Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety model highlights the system elements that may be impacted when considering system redesign such as the environment, people/roles, tools/technology, tasks and organization. The resulting impact to our processes, patient/staff safety and desired outcomes is not always predictable when changing one or several elements.

Methods

Simulation is a key method to integrate into redesign projects to ensure the preparedness of staff, systems and processes involved, although it isn’t always utilized. This redesign involved relocating pleuroscopy procedures from the operating room (OR) suites to an outpatient bronchoscopy suite. Short skills-based simulation sessions (i.e. sub-sections of the workflow) were included for learning specific skills, followed by team simulation events as a final implementation step to ensure readiness. Based on this approach, restructuring of process, team roles, the environment, equipment and more was evaluated using simulation to test each system element undergoing change.

Results

Simulation provided an essential means to evaluate staffing and roles (i.e. expanded scope of practice for respiratory therapists and nurses); the development of cognitive/visual aids and checklists; policy changes; initial staffing modifications, standardization; environmental changes; process changes and more. During the first year since implementation, 25 pleuroscopy procedures have been successfully completed without any safety events reported.

Discussion

Systems testing and education using simulation was required to ensure an effective implementation and reinforce the many redesigned elements. Simulation was able to proactively test how this procedure could be achieved safely in the new environment. This article serves to demonstrate the utility of simulation for systems testing and staff training for a large system redesign project moving a diagnostic procedure from the OR to an outpatient bronchoscopy suite.
Adapting forest regeneration to a changing climate
Authors: Domevscik Matej
Published: August 2024

Forest regeneration in Sweden is increasingly challenged by the rapidly changing climate, making traditional management practices less reliable. Firstly, this thesis addresses these challenges by examining performance of main regeneration methods across Sweden in the context of variable growing conditions. The extreme drought of 2018, which is part of all studies included in this thesis, was used as an example of conditions expected to become more common in the future. Secondly, possible adaptations to these conditions were tested, including mechanical protections against pine weevil damage, changing of planting positions, addition of organic fertiliser, using coated seeds and applying natural regeneration. Results show that mechanical protections against pine weevils performed equally well as insecticide in a nondrought year, suggesting their potential as replacements. In a drought year, however, a synergistic response between drought and pine weevil damage was found, highlighting the interactions of different stressors on seedling establishment. Further, survival of nursery seedlings was significantly reduced by drought, but less so when they were planted directly in mineral soil and fertilised with arginine phosphate. Similarly, coated seeds were significantly influenced by moisture loss, mainly because of unsuccessful soil attachment, and achieved an average establishment rate of 56%. Additionally, methods of mechanical site preparation significantly increased survival of planted and naturally regenerated seedlings. Finally, these findings underscore the need for diverse and flexible management practices to ensure that the regeneration stage can adapt to the complex and evolving challenges posed by climate change. This approach, grounded in the principles of resistance, resilience, and transition adaptation, aligns with broader climate adaptation strategies and offers a roadmap for managing Sweden's forest regeneration amid increasing climatic uncertainty.

The Sex Purchase Act: A Framework for Combating Prostitution
Authors:   Karlstad University, Karlstad, Sweden, Ceder Roine , Eldegard Oliver ,   Norwegian Police University College, Oslo, Norway
Published: August 2024

The Swedish Sex Purchase Act was enacted in 1996, and the Swedish Government imposed a ban on the sale of sexual services in Sweden. This law is aimed at combating prostitution. The article aims to offer policy makers and scholars a comprehensive presentation of the evidence and a discussion of the methodological, political and theoretical challenges arising from this. The review is scope-oriented, aiming at mapping key concepts, main sources and types of evidence available within this research field. We identified peer-reviewed articles that addressed and contextualised Swedish prostitution policy, but very few present empirical data on the effects, consequences or impact of the prohibition on the purchase of sexual service in Sweden, and also to draw conclusions concerning the research activity within this field. The evaluation concludes that the negative effects of the law on the lives of people who sell sex should be considered positive, as the goal of the legislation is to combat prostitution — the intent of which builds on a conception of prostitution as an expression of gendered power that victimises women. While there is great support in the population for criminali-sation as a tool to fight prostitution, the intended message behind the law does not seem to resonate. Research is particu-larly needed to investigate how the relationship between social and legal norms is imagined and practiced; how wider developments to do with technology, globalisation and gentrification interact with law, and how stigma and discrimi-nation are produced and impact on individuals' lives.
Global and Local Law Enforcement Challenges in Combating Sex Trafficking
Authors:   School of Law, University of Oregon, Eugene, USA, Wright Larry
Published: August 2024

The relationship between the legal status of prostitution and the degree of human trafficking that involves sexual exploitation is a significant debate, but little research accounts for variations in cultural beliefs and traditions, gender inequality, or the impact of the formation of a global society. A global criminal justice framework is examined at both global and local levels by examining the written law and the challenges for local law enforcement in their efforts to combat the global crime of sex trafficking. The analysis reveals how existing laws are often the result of overgenerali-zations and faulty assumptions, which led to ineffective or shortsighted laws. Furthermore, it highlights how the debate on the legality of exploitation overshadows the greater issues of poverty, substance abuse, gender inequalities, and des-peration, which arguably are the driving forces behind prostitution. At the local level of analysis, challenges for law enforcement include addressing the underlying factors that have led people to involvement in trafficking, the application of laws, enforcement of laws, corruption, the use of discretion, and public support. The findings reveal that at the global level, law enforcement officers encounter barriers to the investigation of trafficking and the associated offenses.

The regulation highlights a number of deficiencies, namely enforcement issues and the ineffectiveness of the European Union in legislating on ethical grounds. Using the fragmentation of the internal market as a basis for the introduction of legislation in the prohibition of the marketing, production, import or export of the pets fur, the European Commission successfully overcame the limits of EC Treaty when it came to legislating for animal welfare in the European Union.
Young People’s Relationships to Street Gangs
Authors:   School of Law and Social Justice, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom, Glancey Sebastian
Published: August 2024

The study examined the impact of austere policy on the rise of street gangs on young people. The study found evidence for the existence of edgework risk-taking, thrill-seeking, and criminological eroticism derived from being bad or as in the case of young women (identified indirectly) being drawn towards badness by association, the latter of which however, as has been repeatedly emphasised, does not require further empirical enquiry with young people involved with street-gangs of both sexes. The research also found evidence that the most intrinsically rewarding factors that appear to come from being part of a gang of young males are the image of badness combined with the excitement (adrenaline rush) of risk taking with its ability to provide temporary escapism from the institutional restraint.

Published: August 2024

Social media platforms provide opportunities for individuals to share information and express views through social media and other communication platforms. In recent years, there has been a surge in concern about the human rights impacts of ICT companies, including social media providers. The BHR regime, as well as its global applicability regardless of the national jurisdictions of actors and victims, provides the regime with important potential in regard to social media companies. We contribute to remedying that gap by focusing on human rights due diligence in relation to the posting and re-posting of photos of individuals that social media enables. We outline the key features of the UNGPs related to how business enterprises should identify and manage harmful human rights impact and engage with their business relations to do so. We provide examples from case law and social media usage reports on posting, deleting, and deleting photos and outline the features of social media provider business models that differ from those in sectors typi-cally associated with business-related human rights infringements. We discuss implications for the relationship between a social media company and its users and draw conclusions about the potential of the BHR.
The Raw Material of Custom on Social Media: International Legal Relations
Authors:   Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, United Kingdom, Blackberry Lisa B.
Published: August 2024

Social media has become a key feature of international relations. However, the widespread use of social media by the states prompts a particular set of legal questions. This article examines the possibility for the raw material of custom to emerge on Twitter in this way, and thus considers the implications of widespread state social media use for the lawyer or researcher attempting to identify customary international law standards. The article examines a number of possible implications of diplomacy in social media for the identification of the law: the blurring between the “personal” and the “official”; the brevity and (lack of) clarity and rigour of tweets; the significant increase in the amount of relevant data but also its comparative “centralization” (with potentially positive as well as negative consequences); and concerns regarding authenticity.

Published: August 2024

O romance de Lídia Jorge, A manta do soldado (2003), compõe o que pode ser considerado como um labirinto de vozes herdadas e adquiridas ao longo da vida, seja por histórias ou por estórias. O labirinto, como construção noturna de caminhos tortuosos e de vãos confinantes, expõe os limites do possível na apreensão da subjetividade e da alteridade. Ao narrar sua história, revezando entre o eu e o ela, a narradora-personagem busca desvelar, com passos errantes, suas heranças familiares pela reconfiguração do sentido de herança. O conceito de literatura-mosaico se apresenta por entrelaçamentos tortuosos e vertiginosos diante do labirinto da memória: as vozes alheias orientam em direção a uma forma de ser pré-concebida, que pode ser aceita ou rejeitada.

Authors: Jiang Yinghui , Wilson Barry D
Published: August 2024

Lighting is an indispensable component of the urban environment at night. However, most lighting standards primarily focus on illuminating highways, often resulting in uneven or poor-quality lighting in pedestrian areas. This study aims to provide smart lighting solutions to support smart and sustainable city development in Hong Kong Island. The research adopts a mixed-method approach, including a user perception survey focusing on five key indicators, field investigations such as activity mapping and illuminance mapping, and an analysis of the relationship between lighting performance and cost. The findings from the site analysis provide a reference for optimizing the space-time distribution of light. The overall design strategy, "smart lighting plus opportunities," seeks to replace traditional lampposts with ground-level smart lighting that can provide adaptive and high-quality illumination. The short-term design involves replacing some sidewalk blocks and placing utility modules underground, while the long-term scenario focuses on pedestrianizing the street through road surface reconstruction and developing underground utility systems. The study can inform design and planning strategies to optimize public lighting, therefore contributing to enhancing the quality of life and supporting smart and sustainable development in Hong Kong.
