Authors: Chávez Luis Julio César , Velázquez Cigarroa Erasmo , Venegas Sandoval Andrea
Published: August 2022

Las intervenciones comunitarias cumplen un papel fundamental en los tiempos actuales y abren un nuevo campo de oportunidad al progreso socioambiental. El presente trabajo explora las buenas prácticas de la Investigación Acción Participativa (IAP) en diferentes grupos del sureste mexicano, como lo son el grupo de caficultores en el estado de Chiapas, las comunidades en conflicto territorial con una zona arqueológica en Oaxaca y el manejo sustentable de residuos orgánicos por parte del Centro de Gestión del Desarrollo de la Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero (UAGro); enfocándose en las implicaciones socioambientales de los diferentes grupos intervenidos. Dado que el trabajo se desarrolla en diferentes contextos del sur de México, su objetivo es analizar y describir los principales métodos que aseguren una buena intervención comunitaria en el contexto socioambiental y un análisis de buenas prácticas. Para incluir dicha consideración, el equipo de investigación reflexionó y aplicó diferentes metodologías en relación con la IAP, contemplando diferentes métodos de la intervención comunitaria. Finalmente, las reflexiones muestran que, al desarrollar adecuadamente los procesos teóricos-metodológicos, se puede intervenir y contribuir correctamente al desarrollo de las comunidades mexicanas.

Determinations of nitrogen (N) and chlorophyll (Chl) by destructive methods are precise but time-consuming and frequently expensive. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between SPAD, atLEAF, and MC-100 readings with the concentrations of Chl, N, and fresh matter (FM) in basil 'Nufar'. In addition, we determined the relationship of the N concentration with fresh matter (FM). The plants were irrigated with five levels of N (0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 mEq·L-1 of NO3) based on a modified Steiner solution for 42 days after transplant. Plants were evaluated weekly with SPAD, atLEAF and MC-100 portable chlorophyll meters in the greenhouse, while fresh matter and the concentration of chlorophyll and N were determined in the laboratory using conventional techniques. The relationship between SPAD readings, Chl, N, and FM was strong, positive, linear, and significant, with correlation coefficients (R2) between 0.94 and 0.98. For atLEAF and MC-100 readings, R2 values were 0.96 to 0.99 and 0.96 to 0.99, respectively. The relationships between SPAD, atLEAF and MC-100 readings were strong, positive, and significant, with R2 values of 0.98. Similar behavior was shown by the relationship of N concentration and FM with R2 of 0.88. With these results, we conclude that SPAD, atLEAF, and MC-100 can be used to estimate the nutrient status of N in a non-destructive, rapid and reliable manner during basil production.
How adequately are elevated moist layers represented in reanalysis and satellite observations?
Authors: Prange Marc , Buehler Stefan A. , Brath Manfred
Published: August 2022

Abstract. We assess the representation of Elevated Moist Layers (EMLs) in ERA5 reanalysis, the IASI L2 retrieval Climate Data Record (CDR) and the AIRS-based CLIMCAPS-Aqua L2 retrieval. EMLs are free tropospheric moisture anomalies that typically occur in the vicinity of deep convection in the tropics. EMLs significantly effect the spatial structure of radiative heating, which is considered a key driver for meso-scale dynamics, in particular convective aggregation. To our knowledge, the representation of EMLs in the mentioned data products have not been explicitly studied, a gap we address in this work. We assess the different datasets' capability of capturing EMLs by collocating them with 2146 radiosondes launched from Manus Island within the Western Pacific warmpool, a region where EMLs occur particularly often. We identify and characterise moisture anomalies in the collocated datasets in terms of moisture anomaly strength, vertical thickness and altitude. By comparing the distributions of these characteristics, we deduce what specific EML characteristics the datasets are capturing well and what they are missing. Distributions of ERA5 moisture anomaly characteristics match those of the radiosonde dataset quite well and remaining biases can be removed by applying a 1 km moving average to the radiosonde profiles. We conclude that ERA5 is a suitable reference dataset for investigating EMLs. We find that the IASI L2 CDR is subject to stronger smoothing than ERA5 with moisture anomalies being on average 13 % weaker and 28 % thicker than collocated ERA5 anomalies. The CLIMCAPS L2 product shows significant biases in its mean vertical humidity structure compared to the three other investigated datasets. These biases manifest as an underestimation of mean moist layer height of about 1.3 km compared to the three other datasets, a general mid-tropospheric moist bias and an upper tropospheric dry bias. Biases found in the all-sky scenes do not change significantly when limiting the analysis to clear-sky scenes. We calculate radiatively driven vertical velocities derived from longwave heating rates to estimate the dynamical effect of the moist layers. Moist-layer-associated vertical velocity values derived from GRUAN soundings range between 2 to 3 hPa hour-1 while mean meso-scale pressure velocities from the EUREC4A field campaign range between 1 to 2 hPa hour-1, highlighting the dynamical significance of EMLs. Subtle differences in the representation of moisture and temperature structures in ERA5 and the satellite datasets create large relative errors in ωrad on the order of 40–80 % with reference to GRUAN, indicating limited usefulness of these datasets to assess the dynamical impact of EMLs.
Interrogating Structural Conditions for Agricultural Production
Authors: Smolski Andrew R.
Published: August 2022

An important, contemporary focus of scholarship is on the necessary structural conditions to promote a sustainable transition in agriculture. This study examines the possible role of anti-systemic structures, delinked and exilic, in conditioning transitions to agroecological production. I conduct a comparative-historical analysis of two periods, 1959–1991 and 1992–2016, within a single case, Cuba. The results provide evidence that the prevalence of delinking with incorporation maintains an industrial model of agricultural production, even while bringing the law of value under sovereign control. In this way, the existence of delinking as one type of anti-systemic structure is not a sufficient condition for increasing agroecological production; although data suggests that delinking can provide important tools to support sustainable transitions in future periods. In the second period characterized by increasing prevalence of an exilic structure in conjunction with delinking, results demonstrate that anti-systemic structures operate complementary to one another and can maintain partial incorporation while increasing the application of agroecological production. As such, this study provides a rationale for future research and action on anti-systemic structural mixture conditioning sustainable transitions.

Authors: SÖNMEZ Deniz
Published: August 2022

Leadership practices or styles remain a key focus for organizational researchers for many years. Researchers argue that realizing the potential of a leader by following a certain style will have effective results in the performances of the businesses. The aim of our research is to reveal the effects of leadership styles on the work performance of employees in the sustainability of family businesses. For this purpose, 15 family companies in Istanbul and their businesses registered with the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce and Industry were selected and survey data were collected from a total of 187 employees. According to the research findings, it has been found that the democratic leadership style has a positive effect on employee productivity. However, the effect of autocratic and fully participatory leadership styles on employee performance was found to be statistically insignificant. It is thought that the findings can contribute to the expansion of knowledge about leadership style and employee performance in family businesses.

Understanding the Dynamic States of Fear and Arousal and its Manifestation in Abusive Circumstances.
Authors: Thomas Anil , Goswami Ritika
Published: August 2022

As human beings, we know anything because it gets reflected on our senses - “I know this bag is black because I can see that it is black” or “I know the music is loud because I can hear that the music is loud.” There is a connection present with our senses, and this connection goes up to the brain. The brain interprets the data that the senses have sent and accordingly commands the associated systems in the body to respond. Fear is our response to threatening situations, while arousal is a state of vigilance that allows us to respond to a situation either by retreating from it or seeking it as a source of pleasure. The chemical response to both states leads to confusion, because neurotransmitters involved in fear and arousal are the same, i.e., norepinephrine and dopamine. This research paper studies 75 adult participants who answered a questionnaire on verbal abuse and emotional negligence that had taken place during their childhood. We understand the unconscious arousal that covers a fear response in an abusive situation leading to a victim enduring their abuser obediently. The questionnaire used to conduct this research was generated by the authors. It consists of 3 subscales and each item is carefully fabricated to understand different aspects of childhood abuse, Arousal and its impact on adult relationships. The results of this study have indicated positive correlations among all three subscales, hence proving the hypothesis that one might get seduced into loyalty from what they fear.

Pandemic and Online Learning: Is it for protection from Covid-19 or Health destruction? Voice of Indian parents
Authors: Bai Joseph Hepsi , K Sandhiya , P. Shetty Asha
Published: August 2022

Background: Globally, 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom due to schools shut across the world owing to the covid -19 pandemic. Besides children, parents too struggled to embrace this sudden change and adapt to online learning. The present study aimed to assess parental perception towards children's online learning during the covid-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey was carried out among 550 parents of children attending classes online during the covid-19 pandemic. Data were collected after obtaining ethical approval using a self-report questionnaire on parental perception of children's online learning and online class characteristics. Collected data were analyzed using R software. Results: Out of 550 parents approached online, only 300 had responded to the survey with a response rate of 55%. More than half of the children attended online classes using an android mobile phone (71.1%), in the Zoom app (52.2%) with an average duration of online classes was 180±30 minutes/day. Mean parental perception towards online learning score was16±6.3. Parents (80.3%) were concerned about children's general health, including vision, due to continuous exposure to screen in online classes quandary, they agreed (93.3%) online learning protects children from covid infection. Parents were interested in traditional classroom teaching and only 26.1% perceived online learning was effective. Conclusion: Parents, students are eagerly waiting to get rid of home-schooling. The success of online learning relies upon the cooperation of the school authority, teachers, parents, and students. The school education department has a great scope to understand and attend to parental concerns, also maintaining healthy schooling once shut down get relaxed. Also, it should focus on strengthening and supporting home-schooling and helping children balance physical and psychological health.

The Relationship between components of sample size Estimate and Sample Size
Authors: S.K. Mohanasundari , M. Sonia
Published: August 2022

Sample size calculation is more complex and crucial area of attention in a research process. Appropriate sample size of the study act as a strong foundation for evidence based practice, as small sample size may fail to detect the effect or large sample size may waste the resources. As a researcher we have to ensure that needed sample size is estimated to generate desirable power from the study, so that the findings could be generalized to the population. But it is difficult unless the researcher is aware about the influence of each component of the sample size estimates on sample size. This article briefly reviewed the relationship between the components of the sample size estimates and sample size.
Diffuse Spinal Hyperostosis Causing Severe Spinal Stenosis and Thoracic Myelopathy
Authors: Alsoof Daniel , Anderson George , DiSilvestro Kevin J. , McDonald Christopher L. , Kuris Eren O. , Daniels Alan H.
Published: August 2022

Introduction

Spinal stenosis has a wide range of causes including disc herniation, facet hypertrophy, degenerative spondylosis, facet cyst, ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). We present three cases of diffuse spinal hyperostosis causing severe spinal stenosis and myelopathy, which demonstrate a unique association between obesity and a novel syndrome of hyperostosis.

Case Presentation

This report describes 3 morbidly obese patients with diffuse spinal hyperostosis causing critical thoracic stenosis. Their presenting complaints focus on lower extremity weakness and the CT/MRI imaging is striking for diffuse hyper-ossification at thoracic levels. Two patients were subsequently managed with spinal decompression, and one patient was managed non-operatively.

Discussion

Metabolic changes associated with obesity may result in diffuse hyperostosis with ligament ossification and spinal stenosis. Pre-operative imaging is essential to identify the degree of ossification and potential dural involvement as this may complicate management.
POLITICAL ECONOMY OF URBAN CHANGE IN KATHMANDU VALLEY: A CASE FROM SOUTHERN LALITPUR METROPOLITAN CITY
Authors: Timsina Netra Prasad , Poudel Dilli Prasad , Manandhar Rojani , Adhikari Binod
Published: August 2022

Urbanisation in Kathmandu Valley (KV), comprising the capital city Kathmandu, accelerated after the restoration of democracy in the 1990s, as the neoliberal economic policy adopted by the country opened doors for investments in infrastructure development. Urbanisation further accelerated during the Maoist insurgency and heightened after the conflict resolution in 2006 and since then, the country has gone through multiple (spatial, demographic, political, and economic) transitions. With better access to education, hospitals, jobs, businesses, politics, Kathmandu Valley attracts people from all over the country, resulting in the densification in the core cities and an uncontrolled urban sprawl thereby unplanned growth of built-up areas in the periphery. This paper, taking reference of Lalitpur Metropolitan City in the valley with a focus on Khokana (Ward 21) analyses (1) the trend of urbanisation in KV with a reference to urban growth and land use change and (2) examines the contradictions and contestations brought by the centrally planned development and constructional projects as part of the drivers of the urbanisation process in and around Khokana. We examine how the infrastructural imperatives and real estate boom is shifting the core to the periphery and the periphery again is transforming into a new core due to the expansion of capital and market. The planned infrastructural projects, additionally, have also increased the risk of delinking local communities from their land, which is the main cause of community dissatisfaction. We, therefore, conclude with the policy suggestion to ensure the participation of local people and prioritisation of urban development projects based on local needs to achieve a resilient tomorrow’s cities.
Institutionalizing Afro-Asianism: Lotus and the (Dis) Contents of Soviet-Third World Cultural Politics
Authors: Fatima Maryam
Published: August 2022

This article examines the Afro-Asian Writers’ Association’s (AAWA) magazine, Lotus, as an example of the cultural discourse of Afro-Asianism and the logistical and political challenges of institutionalizing a Third World literary canon within the broader context of Cold War alliances. The author's focus on the magazine’s conceptual vocabulary and its internal mechanisms reveals how anticolonial writers and cultural actors brought their own different (often, competing) versions of Marxism and varying degrees of alignment with Soviet-style socialism to the project of cultural decolonization and contributed to a global socialist order. Concerns of literary form, political liberation, and the context of noncommercial patronage shaped an all-encompassing cumulative aesthetic that was not always aligned with Moscow mandates. Her reading of the Lotus archive also draws out the frictions between various geopolitical pivots of the Afro-Asian—a focus on nation, civilization, race, and the larger socialist internationalism—to contribute to studies of the political entanglements between postcolonial and postsocialist studies that can offer insights into current geopolitical predicaments, especially for regions that continue to suffer from new and old forms of occupation and imperialism.
The Socialist Leader in Film: Sergiu Nicolaescu’s Hot Days in Romania and Post-Maoist China
Authors: Tion Lucian
Published: August 2022

This article comparatively explores the reception of Sergiu Nicolaescu’s film Zile fierbinți (Hot Days, 1975) in socialist and postsocialist Romania and China. Received as a propagandistic film in one postsocialist context, the film is understood as a gesture toward social change in another. While the film began to be considered a paragon of propagandistic indoctrination in Romania after the fall of communism, in China Nicolaescu’s work was and continues to be interpreted as a celebration of the individual under socialism and, at the time of its screening, resonated with the restructuring of the communist system during the Deng Xiaoping reform era. Drawing on 1970s Romanian film criticism, the author shows that the postsocialist-era reading of the film’s protagonist as an authoritarian symbol of Romania’s political dictatorship misses that socialist realism and the film de actualitate genres played an important role in negotiating a working-class response to the one-party state, while also gesturing toward certain reforms of Romanian state socialism. The author also reinterprets the figure of the film’s protagonist, the socialist leader, as an invitation for more active political engagement and as a symbol of the potential restructuring of the Romanian economy along the more progressive lines of Yugoslavia’s “worker self-management” and Hungary’s “Gulash Communism.”
Cold War Solidarities and Twenty-First-Century Frayed Alliances: Romanian-Ghanaian Vantage Points
Authors: Popescu Monica
Published: August 2022

During the Cold War, socialist countries in the Eastern Bloc forged fraternal relations with newly independent states on the African continent and other parts of the Third World. These alliances translated into economic exchanges, political and ideological ties, and cultural solidarities. Oftentimes subsumed under the rubric of internationalism, these understudied cultural exchanges reflect both the forward thinking elements of global socialism as well as the paternalist and condescending aspects of relations between the Second and the Third Worlds. In order to analyze the legacies of these solidarities in the twenty-first century, the author looks at the work of Wanlov the Kubolor, which is the stage name of Emmanuel Owusu-Bonsu, a Ghanaian-Romanian musician, poet, film director, and activist. Describing himself as an “African Gypsy” and a peripatetic trickster (a “kubolor”), Wanlov draws on Ghanaian and Romanian artistic traditions to forge a unique perspective on postsocialist societies, from the margins of the capitalist world-system. The work of artists such as Wanlov the Kubolor presents a clear-eyed East/South perspective on global phenomena: consumerism, the quick cooptation and taming of oppositional aesthetics into commercial art, racism, and class distinctions, yet also possible new directions for activism and resistance.
Transnationalizing Memories of Post/Socialism: Diasporic Graphic Lives
Authors: Luca Ioana
Published: August 2022

The article focuses on The Wall: Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain (Peter Sís, 2007) and Marzi (Sylvain Savoia and Marzena Sowa, 2004–2017), two widely translated autobiographical comics written in English and French, respectively, as an entry point into the afterlives of European state socialisms in global contexts. The author examines how Sís, a Czech-born illustrator and children book author, who defected to the United States, and Sowa, a Polish-born writer who left for France, remember their lives under state socialism, and how they make them legible to present-day transgenerational and transnational audiences. The author explores how comics, specifically the seriality, multimodality, and the meanings created at the intersection of texts and images, undermine the cultural scripts which inform the narratives of these two diasporic artists. By focusing on paratextual elements, the author also demonstrates that the transnational trajectories of the two works are path-dependent on mainstream tropes about state socialism. Lastly, given that the two comics feature internationally in school curricula and are adopted by teachers as important methodological tools, the author argues for the crucial importance of comics and life writing pedagogy when teaching graphic autobiographies about post/socialism.
On the Object of History and Doing History in the Intellectual History of Muslim West Africa
Authors: Mogomotsi Olerato Kau
Published: August 2022

Haydon White’s Metahistory (1973) interprets representations of history as inherently reflecting historians’ subjectivity. That is, the modes in which historians represent history are significantly determined and grounded by their ideological commitments. In this article, I offer a metahistorical analysis of the modes of doing history undertaken by the African Islamic intellectual historians Ousmane Kane and Souleymane Bachir Diagne. I critically evaluate the consistency between the object of history as they assume it to be and the discourses they (re)produce, taking account of their ideologically grounded mode of realizing their chosen object of history. Taking the general object of history for the African intellectual to be the resistance of the colonial library, I argue that, in their pursuit of this object of history, Kane and Diagne fall short owing to their use of the Islamic library to assert the existence of an African intellectual history.
Kwame Gyekye as a Pan-Psychist
Authors: Agadá Adá
Published: August 2022

Kwame Gyekye has been called a dualist to the extent that he accepts the ontological distinction between mind and matter, with both phenomena interacting with each other. I argue in this article that Gyekye’s presentation of the sunsum as a universal animating principle that is itself nonmaterial and irreducible to a material base warrants a second look at his philosophy of mind to determine whether he can be considered a pan-psychist and whether a pan-psychist reading can resolve the Gyekyean problem of interaction. I assert that, while Gyekye’s interpretation of the Akan notion of sunsum invites a pan-psychist scrutiny, the interpretive difficulties surrounding the concept, as highlighted by Kwasi Wiredu and Safro Kwame, render a pan-psychist conclusion problematic even if persuasive. I recommend that the notion of sunsum as a nonmaterial principle that underlies material entities is significant enough to warrant further interrogation by African philosophers of mind.

Mental Health Literacy from the Marind Perspective
Authors: Saya Prisca , Novianty Anita
Published: August 2022

This study aims to describe mental health literacy components from the perspective of the Marind people in Merauke Papua, Indonesia. The participants of this study consisted of 197 Marind people (110 men and 87 women), ranging from 12-71 years old. The method used was a survey of distributed questionnaires consisting of consent sheets, demographic data, and several open questions based on the vignette of Schizophrenia and Major Depression designed by researchers based on the conceptual framework of Jorm (2000). Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Participant responses were categorized into several themes according to the concept of mental health literacy. The results showed that most of the participants' responses were different from the biomedical framework in terms of symptom recognition, belief in the cause of mental disorders, and the way to seek help. Culture-based beliefs contribute greatly to the understanding of mental illness symptoms. The implications of this research can be used as an academic reference as consideration for the provision of community-based interventions that are sensitive to the culture.

Foram utilizados seis estudos acessados na base de dados do Google Acadêmico, o que indica escassez de produção de projetos de intervenção durante a realização do Estágio Supervisionado. As intervenções apresentaram temas distintos como: Pandemia, Letramento Científico, Ilustrações científicas no ensino de Ciências, Jogos didáticos Drogas e Relações de gênero e música. Foi observado a ausência de oferta de alguns materiais nas escolas públicas para o desenvolvimento de atividades previstas nos projetos para o ensino de Ciências e Biologia, bem como de recursos humanos preparados para o uso da tecnologia digital, o que dificultou a realização dos projetos, mas não inviabilizou. Os projetos de intervenção são fortes aliados do processo formativo dos futuros professores por oportunizar vivencias no espaço escolar e a reflexão sobre a prática docente.

Authors: Santos Angela Kaline Da Silva , Almeida Bernadete de Lourdes Figueiredo de , Pereira Danielle Viana Lugo
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo origina-se da pesquisa teórica realizada no curso de mestrado acadêmico em Serviço Social, cujo objeto de estudo versa sobre a produção do conhecimento gerado pelo Serviço Social a partir da análise das Dissertações de Mestrado sobre Política Social, defendidas no PPGSS/UFPB no período de 2010 a 2019. A interlocução entre o Serviço Social e a Política Social no Brasil adensou ao longo dos anos de 1980 e 1990, consolidando-se no século XXI. Em termos metodológicos, tipifica-se como pesquisa bibliográfica e documental com a utilização do estado da arte para mapeamento analítico das tendências que perpassam o universo de 119 Dissertações de Mestrado com adoção de instrumentos e técnicas quanti-qualitativas de coleta e de análise dos dados. No processo de operacionalização da metodologia do estado da arte, optou-se pela adoção de dois indicadores bibliográficos: áreas do conhecimento e categorias temáticas.

O Rio Gavião nasce no município de Jacaraci, região sudoeste da Bahia, na Serra do Banho e banha o territórios de outros treze municípios dessa região até desaguar no rio de Contas, após percorrer mais de 300 km. A primeira grande barragem no leito deste rio foi construída no município de Anagé tendo em vista a perenização de um trecho do rio. Todavia, as localidades mais a montante desta barragem ainda sofrem com a carência hídrica. Neste sentido, duas regiões lutam, historicamente, pela construção de novos aproveitamentos hídricos: a região chamada de garganta do Espírito Santo, no município de Tremedal e a localidade de Morrinhos no município de Piripá. Diante desta problemática, este trabalho tratou da delimitação e cálculo das áreas, por meio de imagem de satélite, das bacias de contribuição das barragens existentes em Anagé e Tremedal, bem como das bacias de contribuição para as duas novas barragens. Além disso, foi feita a delimitação da área inundada pela barragem do Espírito Santo,  uma vez que foi estimado um volume armazenado que consiga suprir a demanda local. Este estudo teve como principal objetivo a ampliação da discussão sobre a construção dessas obras tão importantes para a população da região.
Argumentação no discurso oral e escrito de estudantes do ensino médio em uma sequência didática de física moderna

Published: August 2022

Este artigo apresenta parte de uma pesquisa em que estudamos como se desenvolve o processo argumentativo dos estudantes sobre o conceito de fóton e se os estudantes se apropriam das interpretações da Mecânica Quântica para a natureza e o comportamento da luz. Para alcançar nossos objetivos, fizemos uma revisão da literatura sobre a importância da inserção de tópicos de Física Moderna e Contemporânea na escola média, das abordagens da Mecânica Quântica quanto à natureza e comportamento da luz, e das bases teóricas que alicerçam a análise da argumentação em sala de aula. A partir dessa revisão, foi possível perceber que o discurso dos estudantes é um fator de verificação de sua apropriação de conceitos. A análise das falas dos estudantes ratificou essa constatação. Transcrevemos as falas e os gestos de quatro de onze aulas de uma sequência de ensino que objetivava investigar a natureza e o comportamento da luz em um interferômetro real e em uma extrapolação para o ideal, utilizando o arranjo experimental de Mach-Zehnder e um programa de computador que simula esse experimento. As gravações foram feitas em duas turmas do terceiro ano do ensino médio de uma escola pública. Para responder às questões de pesquisa propostas, foram analisadas as aulas que sistematizavam as discussões e os registros escritos finais dos estudantes. A partir dos dados, foi possível verificar a ocorrência de indicadores de alfabetização científica, a estrutura do discurso oral dos estudantes e a apropriação de conceitos de Física Moderna e Contemporânea por estudantes de ensino médio.

Published: August 2022

O artigo trata de um tema de alta relevância econômica, social e ambiental, extremamente recente e de grande potencial para impulsionar atividades relacionadas à criatividade no ambiente coorporativo. O problema que o originou está relacionado com a aprovação no início do mês de junho de 2021 da Lei Complementar 182, conhecida como Marco Legal das Startups e do Empreendedorismo inovador brasileiro. Dentre outras novidades, a lei prevê a adoção de programas de ambientes regulatórios experimentais (sandbox regulatórios). Assim, os objetivos do artigo são apresentar o sandbox dentro de um contexto da autorregulação regulada para, a partir deste, indicar os principais princípios que orientam a articulação e o desenvolvimento desses espaços. A pesquisa é analítica, de caráter teórico-qualitativo. Conclui-se que o sandbox apresenta potencial significativo de governança, desde que utilizado a partir de critérios claros e que considerem direitos que possam a vir ser atingidos pelas estruturas de governança criadas.

Being one of the major financial reforms, GST has impacted almost all the major and minor sectors of our economy. It has came out with both the sides of a coin, that is, along with the advantages it has put forward a number of challenges and issues before different industries, which are still tackling the problems with respect to GST mechanism. Goods and Services Tax is a soleoutstanding tax mechanism built on the nucleus of ‘one nation one tax’. Guarded by innumerable legislative, political and technical hurdles, the giant tax structure came into effect on 1st July 2017. With the advent of GST, the Automobile Industry has benefitted to a considerable extent but is also faced with a number of technical and other challenges which will be discussed in this paper. This paper will focus on the brief introduction of the Goods and Services Tax, Indian Automobile Industry and will analyse the positive as well as negative aspects and impact of GST implementation with respect to Automobile Industry in India.
Structural improvement in industrial helmet by combining low and medium based elastic modulus value composite fibre
Authors: Meinathan S. , Nandhini T
Published: August 2022

In this project, the structural strength analysis of the joint helmet is carried out using coconut fibre and fibreglass. In recent years “fibre-reinforced alloys” have been integrated into reinforcements with matrix using glass fibre, which have attracted the attention of researchers due to their high specific mechanical strength, comfort and low density. Current work efforts to improve the existing helmet manufacturing process and compatibility between materials and fibre and matrix with superior mechanical properties. The composites are made of unreinforced “polyester matrix” and fibre, “reinforced composite materials” and fibreglass, which uses the hand lay-up method in the appropriate proportions to produce the helmet shell construction. The “fabricated helmet” is designed to be analysed by a “finite element method” to evaluate its mechanical properties such as decay and “compression failure”.
Considerations on intermediate courts of appeal in the context of supreme court of India
Authors: Ramu Vutukuri , Kataria Gaurav
Published: August 2022

Currently, many cases are being heard by the Supreme Court of India. There is reason to worry about the situation of the apex court. In the open-air hallways with parapets that wrap around the building’s side, lawyers mingle, conduct business, and make small talk as they wait for their cases to be heard. It is almost impossible to locate one’s hearing among the fifteen courtrooms within the building as angry litigants scramble to find their hearing. At the same time, lawyers’ clerks scurry to their seats, armfuls of disheveled briefs in hand. There are two days a week when admissions are held, Monday and Friday. Court insiders call these days “fish markets” because of the fast-paced and often raucous exchanges. The benches of two judges are usually busy these days, hearing dozens of admissions arguments from a long line of blackjacked attorneys, each arguing why their case deserves to be heard regularly. While leaning forward from the bench, a judge will interrogate advocates skeptically and frequently cut them off abruptly while the lawyers beg their “lordships” to listen to them. The Supreme Court of India is considered one of the most powerful courts in the world.

Published: August 2022

Indonesia is a democratic country where one of the characteristics of a democratic country is the protection of human rights which protects all Indonesian citizens from threats that endanger the safety of the lives of citizens. This means that the government has a responsibility to its citizens from the dangers that will attack it, including the outbreak of the Corona virus disease (Covid-19). As a manifestation and responsibility of the state in protecting citizens from infectious disease outbreaks including Covid-19, the government has issued a legal rule, namely Government Regulation No. 21 of 2020 concerning Large-Scale Social Restrictions in the Context of Accelerating the Handling of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). The Indonesian government in dealing with the Corona Covid-19 outbreak has chosen large-scale restrictions instead of . The purpose of writing this paper is to find out how the legal rules are used in implementing regional quarantine as an effort to overcome the spread of the Covid-19 corona virus and the social impacts caused by large-scale social restrictions.
