IPTU e a Progressividade Fiscal das Alíquotas no Incremento da Arrecadação Municipal
Authors: Cunha Camila Oliveira Figueiroa
Published: September 2024

Grande parte dos municípios brasileiros subutiliza uma importantíssima fonte de recursos – o IPTU. Nesse sentido, a percepção do Princípio da Capacidade Contributiva enquanto norteador da isonômica tributação e o entendimento acerca da possibilidade de efetivo incremento da arrecadação por meio da progressividade fiscal das alíquotas revelam-se de extrema importância no necessário processo de potencialização do IPTU. Com o levantamento das principais questões enfrentadas pelos municípios, este artigo objetivou esclarecer as dificuldades para a elaboração de leis acerca da progressividade fiscal de IPTU. No intuito de conceder caráter prático ao estudo, sugeriu-se inovação legislativa sobre o tema em Caruaru/PE, a qual representaria significativo ganho na receita municipal nos próximos exercícios financeiros. Ao fim, restou possível perceber a imperiosidade da análise da realidade municipal e a conseguinte adequação das suas legislações para conciliar o aumento da arrecadação do IPTU com o fazimento da justiça tributária.
Morte da Coisa Julgada e a Loteria do Direito Tributário Brasileiro
Authors: Ferreira Neto Arthur M.
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo tem a finalidade de apreciar criticamente o conteúdo e os efeitos futuros dos Julgados proferidos pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal quando da apreciação dos Temas de Repercussão Geral n. 881 e n. 885, por meio dos quais se fixou o entendimento de que seria compatível com a Constituição de 1988 a autorização para a cessação automática da coisa julgada individual, em relações de trato continuado, diante de uma posterior alteração na jurisprudência do STF, o que foi fundamentado com base em ponderação entre segurança jurídica, isonomia e livre iniciativa. Neste estudo, avaliou-se em que medida a nova tese vinculante pode ter alterado, semanticamente, o sentido tradicional da coisa julgada, bem como se não se está, prospectivamente, colocando em risco a segurança jurídica do contribuinte, por meio de uma autorização para que a autoridade fiscal possa desconstituir, por sua autotutela e por meio da sua exclusiva capacidade interpretativa do direito, a autoridade de uma decisão transitada em julgado. Por fim, buscou-se criticar a perspectiva instável e meramente lotérica que o direito tributário poderá assumir, avaliando-se ainda se foi correta a invocação da “cláusula rebus sic stantibus” na fundamentação adotada pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal.
Prorrogação de Contratos de Concessões Públicas e seu Impacto na Amortização Fiscal dos Investimentos
Authors: Daniel Neto Carlos Augusto , Carrazza Roque Antonio
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo tem o escopo de analisar o impacto da prorrogação do prazo de duração de uma concessão de serviço público sobre as quotas de amortização do ativo intangível correspondente a esse direito de exploração do concessionário. Aqui, será analisado o impacto dessa prorrogação contratual especificamente nos tributos sobre a renda (IRPJ e CSLL apurados na modalidade do “lucro real”), como forma de demonstrar que esse reajuste levará a um aumento do tributo devido no período original da concessão que pode corresponder a um novo desequilíbrio na equação econômico-financeira do contrato público, dando ensejo a novas medidas para a recomposição da taxa de retorno do investimento original.

Why Did Princes Allow Physical Violence against the Russian Metropolitans of the 14th Century? Similarity of 1358 and 1378 Events
Authors: Кадура Н.Д.
Published: September 2024

В статье автор обнаруживает взаимосвязь между двумя сюжетами: избиением свт. Алексия князем Ольгердом в Киеве в 1358 г. и избиением свт. Киприана князем Дмитрием в Москве в 1378 г. Инцидент с митр. Алексием явился высшей точкой его конфликта с литовским князем, начало которому было положено прославлением трех литовских мучеников. Автор параллельно рассматривает историографию вопроса почитания и прославления указанных мучеников как на Руси, так и в Византии. Кроме прочего, в статье рассмотрена источниковедческая проблема обоих сюжетов, ведь первый описан только в соборном деянии 1381 г., а второй — во втором послании митр. Киприана 1378 г. Рассматривая второе послание свт. Киприана, автор признает влияние великорусской «монашеской партии» на момент конфликта несколько преувеличенным. Взаимосвязь рассматриваемых в статье сюжетов, по мнению автора, подтверждается и последующими событиями.

The article shows connection between the two plots: St. Alexy’s being beaten by Prince Olgerd in Kiev in 1358 and St. Cyprian’s being beaten by Prince Dmitry in Moscow in 1378. The incident with Metropolitan Alexy was the culmination of his conflict with the Lithuanian prince, which had begun with glorification of three Lithuanian martyrs. Presented is parallel analysis of the historiography of the issues of veneration and glorification of these martyrs in Russia and Byzantium. Apart from other things, considered is the source problem of both plots because the first one is described only in the conciliar act of 1381, while the second one is described in the second epistle of Metropolitan Cyprian of 1378. Analysis of the second epistle of Metropolitan Cyprian brings to the conclusion that the influence of the Great Russian “monastic party” at the time of the conflict seems to be somewhat exaggerated. The connection of the plots considered in the article is also confirmed by the subsequent events.
Historiography of Christian Paintings in Syria and Lebanon in the 11th–13th Centuries
Authors: Багинская Е.Н.
Published: September 2024

В статье проанализированы исследования церковных росписей Сирии и Ливана XI–XIII вв., выполненных в основном в период Крестовых походов. Византийское искусство сиро-ливанского региона, несмотря на провинциальный характер, обладает художественной и исторической ценностью, при этом памятники, в первую очередь сирийские, остаются малоизученными. Автором рассмотрены все вышедшие на сегодняшний день монографии и наиболее значимые публикации, в частности работы Мата Иммерцела, Ярослава Фолды, Эрики Круикшанк Додд, Нады Хелу, Стефана Вестфалена. Поместив средневековое христианское искусство Леванта в исторический и географический контекст, исследователи проследили его связь с Византией, а также с искусством латинских мастеров, пришедших на Ближний Восток с крестоносцами. Не осталось без внимания и исламское искусство, создаваемое в тех же мастерских и теми же мастерами, что работали в христианских храмах. Важной частью данной работы является обращение к ранним описаниям, исследованиям и фотографиям памятников в связи с частичной или полной потерей некоторых росписей, а также видоизменением стиля и иконографии вследствие реставрации. Автором выявлены пробелы в исследованиях и указаны неточности в описаниях.

The article critically analyzes research sources of church paintings in Syria and Lebanon of the 11th–12th centuries, which were created mainly during the Crusades. In spite of being provincial in nature, Byzantine art of Syria and Lebanon is of artistic and historical value, however the paintings remain poorly studied, especially those of Syrian churches. Here all the monographs and the most important publications to date have been studied, e.g. those by Mat Immerzeel, Jaroslav Folda, Erica Kruikshank Dodd, Nada Hélou, Stephen Westphalen and others. By placing the medieval Christian art of Levant in a historical and geographical context, the researchers traced its relationship to Byzantium, as well as to the art of Latin masters who came to the Middle East with the crusaders. Also researched was Islamic art created in the same workshops and by the same craftsmen who worked for Christian churches. An important part of this article is referred to the study of early descriptions, researches and photographs of monuments that suffered a full or partial loss of their painting or changes of the original iconography and style. Identified are gaps in research of some monuments, as well as analytical inaccuracies.

Published: September 2024

Commercial motorcycles are seen to constitute a serious threat to the security, lives, and properties of citizens. Their operators are said to engage in many criminal acts, causing accidents on roads, and the death of many innocent citizens, thus neglecting its purpose of conveying people and goods which is its transport function in society. This study, therefore, examines the level of safety and security associated with the operation of commercial motorcycles in Akure to engender policy responses that could enhance the safety of the operators of commercial motorcycles. Questionnaires and data from the Federal Road Safety Commission were used to collect the required data. Questionnaires were administered to the operators of commercial motorcycles in the study area. A total of 220 Motorcycle operators were sampled. Descriptive statistics were employed in the data analysis. Findings also revealed that the unemployment situation in the state has led many (85.1%) people, particularly the youth; into the commercial motorcycle operation in the city. As a result of that, many of them (46.2%) did not engage in formal training which has resulted in a high rate of commercial motorcycle crashes in the city, which have claimed many lives and rendered some impotent. Other problems associated with motorcycles include speeding, a leading problem in the area coupled with the fact that some operators now use motorcycles to perpetuate grievous crimes. To have safe, efficient public transportation, the government should create more job opportunities for people, upgrade the existing three-wheel cycles and improve on the operational efficiencies of city taxies, imposing sanctions to enforce strict compliance among okada riders which will go long way in reducing road accidents, crimes and thus reducing the influx of commercial motorcycles.

SCO and BRICS in an emerging multipolar world order
Authors: Malyshev D. V.
Published: September 2024

The year 2024 will be a milestone for the development of both the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and BRICS, a unique negotiating format for rapidly growing economies. This year, Kazan will host the BRICS summit, and Astana has already held the SCO summit, which was marked by the adoption of a number of important initiatives. The assessment of the results and historical significance of these summits requires a special study, in this article we will look at the state in which both BRICS and SCO approached them, what problems they are currently facing and what prospects open up to them in the context of a global transformation of the IR system. The first section examines the main stages of the formation and current trends in the development of the SCO. The author emphasizes that in addition to addressing traditional challenges, the SCO member states are actively cooperating in countering new threats, such as separatism, drug trafficking, terrorism, and Islamic extremism. In this context, the SCO countries are particularly attentive to the rapidly changing situation in Afghanistan. The author concludes that although the SCO member countries have managed to create a solid legal framework and effective mechanisms of interaction, there are contradictions and even clashes between them on a number of issues. The second section identifies the stages of formation and current trends in the development of BRICS. The author notes that in the last few years, BRICS have been actively expanding both quantitatively by including more and more new countries in the association, and qualitatively, exploring new forms and areas of cooperation. In this regard, special attention is paid to the efforts to create a BRICS currency and to cooperation within the framework of the New Development Bank. According to the author, the SCO summits in Astana and BRICS in Kazan in 2024 should bring the development of these international structures, which embody hopes for the establishment of a new, fairer world order, to a qualitatively new level.

Personal Consumption and Single Persons: An Update
Authors: Rosenbaum David I. , Mann Christopher
Published: September 2024

Kurt V. Krueger’s seminal study used 2005-2009 Consumer Expenditure Survey (CEX) data to examine various measures of personal consumption rates for single persons. Given changes in survey methods, the impacts of inflation over the following decade, changes in tastes and other factors affecting consumer demand, we re-estimate Krueger’s measures using 2015-2019 survey data. The estimation of estate accumulation rates has expanded as well. Single person expenditures and consumption rates using the 2015-2019 data differ from the earlier results. They also differ from those acquired by deflating 2019 earnings to 2009 values and using the 2005-2009 consumption rates. Experts may find it useful to employ single-person expenditure rates using more recent data.

Published: September 2024

The various stages of abscission of buds, flowers and fruitlets were recorded in the earty spring in 12 'Fuerte' trees. Summer fruitlet abscission was recorded in 60 trees of each cultivar: 'Ettinger', 'Fuerte' and 'Hass' and winter fruit drop in 60 'Hass' trees only. Total number of organs abscised was 0.230-1.277 million and the abscission process was independent of flowering intentsity. Total abscission balance for a 'Fuerte' tree showed that fruitset percentage was 1.5% but 99% of fruitlets dropped and only 1% were picked. Thus only 0.015% of the flowers developed into mature fruits. No relationship was found between buds and flower abscission and yield. Increased production may be achieved by reducing summer drop in 'Ettinger' and 'Hass' or earlier drop in 'Fuerte'. Total dry weight of abscised organs was only 15% of Ole crop.

The world of hepatology has been recently shaken by a much-needed change of nomenclature validated by a large expert consensus (1). This consensus finally adopts positive diagnostic criteria for the recently renamed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) (Table 1) (1). This change in nomenclature is supported by scientific arguments published in the Acta Gastro-Enterologica Belgica (2). However, making the diagnosis of MASLD easy on the basis of the coexistence of hepatic steatosis (by imaging or histology) and just one cardiometabolic criterion (Table 1) (1) instead of a diagnosis of exclusion must not relegate other causes of chronic liver diseases to second place (3,4).

Abstract. Glaciers are valuable environmental archives that preserve organic compounds from atmospheric aerosols that can be used as marker species for their respective emission sources. Most environmental studies do not distinguish between the enantiomers of chiral compounds, although these compounds, mostly from biogenic sources, are very common in the atmosphere. We have developed a two-dimensional liquid chromatography (mLC-LC) method that allows the simultaneous determination of the chiral ratios of the monoterpene oxidation products cis-pinic acid and cis-pinonic acid in ice-core samples. The method combines a reversed-phase column in the first dimension and a chiral column in the second dimension in a simple instrumental setup with only one additional six-port valve. This novel method was successfully applied to selected ice-core samples from the Belukha glacier in the Siberian Altai spread over the period 1870–1970 CE. The chiral ratio of cis-pinic acid showed fluctuating values, while the chiral ratio of cis-pinonic acid remained more constant with an excess of the (–)-enantiomer.

Abstract. The effective radiative forcing due to aerosol-cloud interactions (ERFaci) is difficult to quantify, leading to large uncertainties in model projections of historical forcing and climate sensitivity. In this study, satellite observations and reanalysis data are used to examine the low-level cloud radiative responses to aerosols. While some studies it is assumed that the activation rate of cloud droplet number concentration (Nd) in response to variations in sulfate aerosols (SO4) or the aerosol index (AI) has a one-to-one relationship in the estimation of ERFaci, we find this assumption to be incorrect, and demonstrate that explicitly accounting for the activation rate is crucial for accurate ERFaci estimation. This is corroborated through a “perfect-model” cross validation using state-of-the-art climate models, which compares our estimates with the “true” ERFaci. Our results suggest a smaller and less uncertain value of the global ERFaci than previous studies (-0.39 ± 0.29 W m-2 for SO4 and -0.24 ± 0.18 W m-2 for AI, 90 % confidence), indicating that ERFaci may be less impactful than previously thought. Our results are also consistent with observationally constrained estimates of total cloud feedback and “top-down” estimates that models with weaker ERFaci better match the observed hemispheric warming asymmetry over the historical period.

Abstract. The microwave radiances are key observations, especially over data-sparse regions, for operational data assimilation in numerical weather prediction (NWP). An often applied simplification is that these observations are used as point measurements; however, the satellite field of view may cover many grid points of high-resolution models. Therefore, we examine a solution in high-resolution data assimilation to better account for the spatial representation of the radiance observations. This solution is based on a footprint operator implemented and tested in the variational assimilation scheme of the AROME-Arctic (Application of Research to Operations at MEsoscale – Arctic) limited-area model. In this paper, the design and technical challenges of the microwave radiance footprint operator are presented. In particular, implementation strategies, the representation of satellite field-of-view ellipses, and the emissivity retrieval inside the footprint area are discussed. Furthermore, the simulated brightness temperatures and the sub-footprint variability are analysed in a case study, indicating particular areas where the use of the footprint operator is expected to provide significant added value. For radiances measured by the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) and Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS) sensors, the standard deviation of the observation minus background (OmB) departures is computed over a short period in order to compare the statistics of the default and the implemented footprint observation operator. For all operationally used AMSU-A and MHS tropospheric channels, it is shown that the standard deviation of OmB departures is reduced when the footprint operator is applied. For AMSU-A radiances, the reduction is around 1 % for high-peaking channels and about 4 % for low-peaking channels. For MHS data, this reduction is somewhere between 1 %–2 % by the footprint observation operator.

Abstract. Hydrological drought is one of the main hydroclimatic hazards worldwide, affecting water availability, ecosystems and socioeconomic activities. This phenomenon is commonly characterized by the Standardized Streamflow Index (SSI), which is widely used because of its straightforward formulation and calculation. Nevertheless, there is limited understanding of what the SSI actually reveals about how climate anomalies propagate through the terrestrial water cycle. To find possible explanations, we implemented the SUMMA hydrological model coupled with the mizuRoute routing model in six hydroclimatically different case study basins located on the western slopes of the extratropical Andes, and examined correlations between the SSI (computed from the models for 1, 3 and 6-month time scales) and potential explanatory variables – including precipitation and simulated catchment-scale storages – aggregated at different time scales. Additionally, we analyzed the impacts of adopting commonly used time scales on propagation analyses of specific drought events – from meteorological to soil moisture and hydrological drought – with focus on their duration and intensity. The results reveal that the choice of time scale for the SSI has larger effects on correlations with explanatory variables in rainfall-dominated regimes compared to snowmelt-driven basins, especially when simulated fluxes and storages are aggregated to time scales longer than 9 months. In all the basins analyzed, the strongest relationships (Spearman rank correlation values over 0.7) were obtained when using 6-month aggregations to compute the SSI and 9–12 months to compute the explanatory variables, excepting aquifer storage in snowmelt-driven basins. Finally, the results show that the trajectories of drought propagation obtained with the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), the Standardized Soil Moisture Index (SSMI) and the SSI may change drastically with the selection of time scale. Overall, this study highlights the need for caution when selecting standardized drought indices and associated time scales, since their choice impacts event characterizations, monitoring and propagation analyses.

Abstract. Lake outburst events have been mainly focused on small glacial lakes in the Himalaya, while the historical events from inland large lakes are few and have received less attention. Inland large lakes on the Tibetan Plateau are expanding rapidly, with recent signs of increasing outburst risk, highlighting the need to elucidate the processes, causes and mechanisms to mitigate future impacts. Here, a long-term satellite lake mapping shows that the number and surface area of lakes on the Tibetan Plateau over the past 50 years peaked in 2023, accompanied by two notable outburst events: Zonag Lake (~150 km2 in 2023) on 15 September 2011 and Selin Co (~2,465 km2 in 2023, the largest lake in Tibet) on 23 September 2023. The cascading outburst of Zonag Lake caused its area to shrink by ~124 km2 (-45 %), while the downstream Yanhu Lake expanded by ~163 km2 (+347 %). The Selin Co outburst resulted in a water volume loss of ~0.3 Gt, the downstream Bange Co experienced a water level rise of ~2.3 m and an area expansion of ~18 %. Despite its large water storage capacity, Selin Co experienced less water loss due to the flat terrain at the breach and the slow flow (~1 m/s at the damaged road), with an average discharge of ~170 m3/s. Even with the low discharge, the Selin Co flood breached the lowland road within ~12 hours. In contrast, the large breach and steep terrain at Zonag Lake facilitated a rapid discharge of a sustained volume of water, with an average discharge of ~2,191 m3/s. Selin Co resulted in only a short period of drainage reorganization, in contrast to the permanent reorganization caused by Zonag Lake. The underlying mechanisms of the increased precipitation as the main trigger for the two outburst events prior to the occurrence are different. For Zonag Lake, thermodynamic effects, i.e. changes in the atmospheric moisture, are the most important, while for Selin Co, dynamical effects, i.e. the vertical motion induced by the changes in atmospheric circulation, dominate the precipitation patterns. Large lake outbursts in the Inner Tibetan Plateau are expected to increase in the near future due to the warmer and wetter climate, and urgent policy planning is needed to mitigate the potential future lake-induced flood damage.

The advent of robotic bronchoscopy coupled with electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (EMN) and shape-sensing technology have increased diagnostic yields for peripheral pulmonary nodules compared to traditional bronchoscopy. Yet, diagnostic yields from these bronchoscopic platforms still fall short of where they should be. This shortfall is in large part due to a lack of advanced imaging during peripheral bronchoscopy and computed tomography (CT)-to-body divergence (CTBD). Digital lung tomosynthesis (DLT) is an advanced imaging modality that helps overcome CTBD during bronchoscopic biopsies of lung nodules. DLT is a quasi-3D imaging technique, which reconstructs tomographic images of the lung from a series of 2D fluoroscopic projection images. These images can be acquired either using a digital flat panel fluoroscopy machine or a fluoroscopy machine with a more traditional image-intensifier present in most standard bronchoscopy suites. This review aims to explain the mechanisms of both CTBD and DLT to help diagnose early-stage lung cancer more effectively.
