Ideology, Morality, and Metaphor in Indigenous History: A New Zealand Case Study
Authors: Moon Paul
Published: December 2021

The rise in the practice of “indigenous history” in New Zealand has occurred partially in response to the perceived need to revise historical narratives that have allegedly contributed to perpetuating the subjugation of the indigenous Māori population. This explicitly ideological orientation positions the researching and writing of indigenous history as a means to an extra-historical end: the transformation of “history into justice.” It also imposes a moral function on indigenous history, requiring historical evidence to be configured in order to conform to the postmodernist historical metanarrative. This work surveys some of the implications of such an approach to the practice of history.
End(s) of the Harmonization in the European Union: Centrifuging or Engineering?
Authors: Unver Mehmet Bilal
Published: December 2021

The European Union (EU) harmonization has an evolving and dynamic nature. Different theoretical approaches (e.g., regulatory competition, coevolution, reflexive harmonization) are often echoed to delve into the EU harmonization. This article, going through these theories, endeavors to explain the harmonization discourse in the EU with a focus on the electronic communications sector. To understand the trajectory of the EU harmonization in this sector, two areas (“network access” and “spectrum regulation”) are selected as the subject-matter of the research. In conclusion, the legislative steps taken so far are found to restrict regulatory experimentation and innovation that this sector needs in the face of increasing challenges.

Published: December 2021

Background: Migraine and anxiety are common neuro-psychiatric disorders in clinical practice, sharing symptoms and epidemiological factors among themselves. The presence of both pathologies in the same individual is frequently reported in the literature. Objectives: To report the clinical and epidemiological correlations established between generalized anxiety disorder and migraine. Methodology: Systematic review of studies published between 2016 and 2021, exploring the association between generalized anxiety disorders and Migraine. The descriptors “association”, “Migraines” and “Generalized Anxiety Disorder” were used in the LILACS, SCIELO and PUBMED databases. Fourteen articles were selected, mostly dealing with epidemiological studies. Results: Evidence suggests that these pathologies are associated and share common symptoms, pathophysiology and epidemiological factors. Studies corroborate that anxiety and painful sensation are more strongly associated with migraine than with other psychiatric illnesses. It has also demonstrated some characteristics of patients who are predisposed to develop both comorbidities such as smoke, low income and a history of other previous diseases. Common triggering factors such as pain, sleep disorders and stress can also contribute to the association between pathologies. Conclusions: Based on the studies analyzed in full, the high prevalence of both diseases in the same individual highlights the importance of research on the cause and consequence relationship between Anxiety and Migraine, since this is not yet clarified in the medical literature. In addition, paying attention to migraine correlation to generalized anxiety disorder increases the quality of life of the patient in the short and long term, as well as help in the choice of better treatments.

Authors: Lemaitre Paola Restum Antonio , Ueda Elisa Yuki Kurosawa , Prado Isabela Pierotti , Borges Pedro Guimarães Lameira Bittencourt , Florentino Emmanuelle Batista , Tavares Luiza Rodrigues Schwartz
Published: December 2021

Background: Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis is an acute purulent meningoencephalitis caused by Naegleria fowleri. The main route of transmission occurs through the inhalation of trophozoites present in the water, which cross the cribriform plate, reach the olfactory bulbs and destroy the nerve and nervous tissue. Objectives: This study aims to provide greater knowledge and updates on the topic. Design and setting: This is a literature review from the Escola de Medicina Souza Marques’s, and Universidade Federal Fluminense’s students, Brazil. Methods: The used articles were published between 2013 to 2021, from the UptoDate, Scielo, and Pubmed databases. Results: This protozoan’s distribution is worldwide. The clinical picture includes fever, headache, photophobia, emesis, convulsions, and dysfunctions of smell and taste; if untreated, it progresses rapidly to death. There is an incubation period of 2 to 7 days. Diagnosis should be considered when there is a picture of meningoencephalitis, negative results for viruses and bacteria, and there are motile trophozoites in the CSF sample. The main differential diagnosis is bacterial meningitis. Conclusion: The rarity of the disease, delay in diagnosis, and fulminant clinical course affect the evaluation of treatment models. Currently, the indicated therapy is Amphotericin B, Rifampicin, Fluconazole, Miltefosine, and Azithromycin, ranging from 9 to 30 days duration.
Deep brain stimulation of the fornix as a therapeutic approach for Alzheimer’s disease: Systematic Review
Authors: Oliveira Paloma Abrantes de , Oliveira Diogo Abrantes de , Freitas Isabelle Magalhães Guedes
Published: December 2021

INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a disorder characterized by cognitive impairment. The brain network in DA can be interrupted by deficiencies in glucose metabolismo. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used in Parkinson’s disease (PM), once it modulates motor circuits. Considering this potential, the benefits of this approach in DA must be evaluated1,2. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential benefit of stimulating the cerebral fornix (CF) through DBS for patients with AD. METHODS: Controlled and randomized clinical trials (ECCR), in English, performed on humans, in the last 5 years, indexed on PubMed, were selected from the keywords “Deep brain Stimulation” and “Alzheimer Dementia”. This review was registered on PROSPERO by protocol 254506 and the PRISMA recommendation was used to improve its organization. RESULTS: Deeb W et al. (2019) conducted an ECCR on 42 patients with AD receiving DBS in CF, anterior commissure, corpus and sub-corpus callosum, demonstrating that in 48% of them, old experiences were reported. Furthermore, the memories became better as the stimulation increased. Lozano AM et al. (2016), in turn, developed an ECCR on 6 patients receiving DBS in CF, showing increases in glucose metabolism in some cerebral areas after 12 months, contrasting to the expected reduction in AD, especially in > 65 years. It’s noteworthy that the multicenter and double-blind ECCR by Ponce FA (2016) showed the safety of DBS in CF as therapy for AD, similar to that verified in the MP. CONCLUSION: The analyzed evidences suggest a potential cognitive benefit of DBS in the therapeutic management of AD.
De novo variant in the MAPK8IP3 gene in the differential diagnosis of global development delay. Case report.
Authors: Brooks Joseph Bruno Bidin
Published: December 2021

Context: The global development delay has a high prevalence and heterogeneity in the world population. With the advancement of technology and detection of pathogenic variants detected by sequencing the exome, genes related to global developmental delay could be identified and collaborate for further clinical clarification. Among the studied genes, the MAPK8IP3 gene, became an attractive candidate due to its performance in neuronal axonal transport in vertebrates and invertebrates. This case report was approved by the Ethics Committee of Universidade Metropolitana de Santos. Case Report: The present case refers to a 6-year-old male patient presenting with a clinical picture of global developmental delay without bodily dysmorphia. Cerebellar ataxia, muscle hypotonia and intellectual impairment are important clinical impairments. Skull MRI and complementary exams were normal. The genetic study showed a new and heterozygous pathogenic variant in the MAPK8IP3 gene. Conclusions: Symptomatic treatment with multiprofessional rehabilitation was instituted with partial improvement of symptoms.
The use of erenumab for preventing migraine
Authors: Pereira Camila Nakamura Perissê , Kozak Lamys Fernandes , Braga Victor Fernandes Feitosa , Menezes Pedro Henrique Bersan de , Pereira Alexandre Sampaio Rodrigues
Published: December 2021

Background: In 2018, calcitonin gene-related peptides (CGRP) were approved in the United States as the first class of specific migraine prevention drugs. Objectives: To analyze the efficacy and therapeutic safety of erenumab for preventing migraine. Methods: A narrative literature review was carried out by researching in the PubMed/MEDLINE and SciELO databases, using the descriptor “migraine disorders” and the keyword “erenumab” combined by the Boolean operator AND. Eight articles were selected, between 2017 and 2020. Results: The pathophysiology of migraine is related to CGRP through nociceptive modulation in the trigeminovascular system. Therefore, erenumab was developed, which is a human monoclonal antibody that binds selectively and potently to the canonical receptor of CGRP and acts as an antagonist of CGRP. Evidence indicates that the monthly dose of 70mg or 140mg reduces the frequency, quality and intensity of acute and chronic migraines. Studies report a decrease of two to six days of migraine using erenumab. The same adverse reactions occurred in both placebo and experimental groups, including upper respiratory tract viral infection, pain at the injection site and nausea. Conclusions: Erenumab is a promising drug, because it showed efficacy in the first days of treatment, absence of significant side effects and low rate of discontinuation. Aspects such as safety, effect durability, impact on quality of life and cost require further research.

Authors: Zuniga Rubén David dos Reis , Soares Izadora Fonseca Zaiden , Corazzin Roseli , Carvalho Alzira Alves de Siqueira
Published: December 2021

Background: Frank’s sign is a diagonal crease in the earlobe that extends from the tragus to the inferior-posterior auricle’s edge. Described as a predictor of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), it was considered an independent cardiovascular risk factor (CRF) and associated with cerebrovascular events and cognitive impairment (CI). Objectives: To assess the prevalence of Frank’s sign in a general population aged 60 years or older regardless of the presence of CRFs and to relate the presence of this sign with epidemiological and clinical aspects. Design and setting: This is an analytical, observational and cross- sectional study accomplished in ABC Region and in Itapecerica da Serra (Greater São Paulo). Methods: 500 individuals aged 60 years or older randomly recruited had their ears photographed, responded to either Mini Mental State Examination or Montreal Cognitive Assessment depending on education achievement. Results: 57% were women; 57% were white, 39% black and 4% asian; 64% had the sign; Frank’s sign was associated with dyslipidemia and almost with hypertension, but not with cardiovascular events or CI. Conclusions: 1. Frank’s sign was more prevalent in older people and in the white population and, for the first time, in women. 2. There is a pattern in the sign prevalence in Greater São Paulo, which differs from the international one. 3. Frank’s sign may be more sensitive to CVDs in hospitalized patients than in the general population and it can be a bias in literature. 4. Prospective studies could assure whether this sign is a marker for CVDs in this population.

Authors: Almeida Lícia Maria Belchior , Belchior Dayne Maria Dias , Belchior Luciana Dias
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by involuntary tremors, weakness, festive gait, due to impaired balance, and neuropsychiatric disorders. Baropodometer and stabilometer are used to measure the strength of the feet and analyze the gravitational displacement, respectively. The Nintendo Wii® allows playful interaction to exercise balance. Objectives: To analyze static balance of PD patients after using Wii Fit® pre and post intervention. Methods: The baropodometric and stabilometric evaluation before and after the intervention took place at the University of Fortaleza. Plantar surface, mass division and pressures were evaluated with a baropodometer. Static balance was assessed with a stabilometer. The games used were Penguin Slide, Table Tilt Plus, Tilt City. Results: The left (L) hindfoot mass division went from 16.02 to 27.51%. The anteroposterior oscillations of L foot and right (R) varied from 50 to 49%. The average pressure of R foot was 35.67 to 25.97 kpa. As the appointments passed, the scores on the Wii went up. In the static analysis, it was found the patient presented a better variation in mass division of the L hindfoot, frontal gravitational center L and R and mean pressure on the R foot. The benefits found in the applicability of Wii Fit® as a therapeutic tool result in improvement in correction of posture and balance, enabling better locomotion and motivating the patient. Conclusion: The interaction with virtual reality in a patient with PD is promising for complementary motor treatment, as it delays the evolution of symptoms, improving static balance and providing greater functionality.

Authors: Loreti Eduardo Henrique , Oliveira Juliano Romais de , Kakuta Elaine , Silva Alisson Alexandre da , Konkiewitz Elisabete Castelon
Published: December 2021

Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) affects the population’s physical and mental health and is characterized by changes in brain activity and pain reporting. Objectives: To systematize and discuss the effects of tDCS on pain improvement in patients with FM as well as the “state of the art”. Design and setting: Systematic review with bibliometric. Methods: Articles were searched in the databases: MEDLINE / PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Physiotherapy Evidence Database. Randomized clinical trials, published between 1996 and 2021, that used tDCS to treat pain in patients with fibromyalgia were included. Studies that used tDCS associated with another technique (except pharmacological) were excluded. Methodological quality and risk of bias were assessed using the PEDro and Rob 2.0 scale. Software R. was used to perform bibliometrics. Results: Nine articles were included, totaling 306 participants. The main stimulated areas were the primary death cortex (M1) (6 studies) and left dorsalateral prefrontal cortex (CPFDL) (4 studies). Eight studies used the intensity of 2 mA and application for 20 minutes. Both stimulation of M1 and CPFDL showed effects on pain improvement greater than tDCS sham. As for the research institutes, Havard Medical School and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul lead the ranking. The author with the greatest impact was Fregni, F. (index h: 12, index g: 17, index m: 0.800, total publications 17, beginning: 2006). Conclusions: tDCS proved to be effective for the treatment of pain in FM. The production of studies is limited.
Spinal cord lesion and ischemic stroke after chiropractic: a case report
Authors: Ramos Gabriel Bortoli , Martins Rebecca Ranzani , Souza Júlia Carvalhinho Carlos de , Lopes Cesar Castello Branco , Silva Guilherme Diogo
Published: December 2021

Context: Chiropractic is a form of spinal manipulation used to treat cervical pain. This therapy is considered safer than chronic use of anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids or spine surgery. However, chiropractic may cause severe complications such as myelopathy and ischemic stroke. Case report: A 48-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to acute tetraparesis. During a chiropractic session for chronic neck pain, patient referred lancinating cervical pain, weakness in the upper and lower limbs, and numbness below the level of the neck. Neurologic examination showed grade two tetraparesis with preserved arm abduction. Pain and vibratory sensation were reduced in trunk, upper and lower limbs. We considered a C5 level spinal cord injury. Cervical spine magnetic resonance imaging revealed a transdiscal fracture of C5-C6 vertebrae. The fracture led to an epidural hematoma and spinal cord compression. Cervical spine displayed ligamenta flava thickening, which may be associated with an undiagnosed ankylosing spondylitis. We also found bilateral vertebral occlusion of V1 and V2 segments. Cerebellar restricted diffusion suggested posterior circulation stroke. We believe that rigidity associated with ankylosing spondylitis favored spinal fracture during chiropractic. Patient was treated with 24mg/day of dexamethasone and 100mg/day of aspirin. Spinal cord decompression surgery was indicated. Unfortunately, in the last followup there was no improvement in patient motor status. Conclusions: Transdiscal C5-C6 fracture led to compressive myelopathy and cerebellar stroke. Safety of chiropractic should be better investigated in specific populations such as ankylosing spondylitis patients.

Authors: Gonçalves GJulia Magalhães Waybe , Sousa Danielle Antoniazzi Kirscht Auermann D'Allembert Costa , Rangel Marcela Ferreira de Andrade , Costa Maria Alice Dias da , Alencar Mariana Asmar
Published: December 2021

Background: The measurement of strength through MRC Muscle Scale (MRC) is the most widely used method to follow the evolution of disabilities in people diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), since it is easy and fast to measure. However, it has been considered a subjective and evaluator dependent method. A possibility to measure strength is the Modified Sphygmomanometer Test (MST): an objective method, low-cost and with adequate construct validity with the hand dynamometer.Objective: Verify the correlation between MST, MRC and the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating (ALSFRS-R). Methods: Exploratory study, in which participated individuals with up to 1 year of diagnosis of sporadic ALS, able to perform the tests in the sitting position. The MRC, MST and ALSFRS-R were applied and hip flexors and knee extensors was tested. Pearson’s correlation was used to evaluate the association between the strength tests and ALSFRS- R with a significance level of 0.05. Results: Statistical analysis showed significant correlation between the measurements performed by the MRC and MST (r= 0.757; p<0.000). The MRC showed high correlation with total ALSFRS (r=0.700; p<0.001) and moderate with ALSFRS gross motor domain (r=0.765; p<0.000). MST showed low correlation with total ALSFRS (r=0.419; p<0.047) and moderate with ALSFRS gross motor domain (r=0.534; p<0.009). Conclusion: Both tests correlated with the functional scale, yet the MRC correlated in greater magnitude. Therefore, the measurement of muscle strength, when performed by the MRC, can be an alternative in the clinical setting for monitoring patients with ALS.

Background:NeuralMed is a startup specialized in the development of artificial intelligence applications in medicine. Objectives: We developed a screening system for head computed tomography scans (HCT) that prioritizes patients with urgent pathologies. This study describes the development of the algorithm for detection and localization of intracranial hemorrhage. Design and setting: This is an observational study on HCT performed at hospitals in State of São Paulo. Methodology: The algorithm was built from 8432 HCT. We used unenhanced axial images after post-processing and normalization. The set is split into 80% for training, 10% for validation and 10% for testing. We used a MobileNet network pre-trained with ImageNet weights combined with a long short-term memory with categorical cross-entropy as loss function. The model’s outputs are hemorrhage, no findings, and other pathologies. A gradient class activation map was applied to identify and localize the hemorrhages. Results: Internal validation showed an area under the ROC curve (AUROC) of 96%, sensitivity of 87% and positive predictive value (PPV) of 96%. External validation was performed on 125 exams collected in a period after the training group obtaining an AUROC of 86%, sensitivity of 78% and PPV of 81%. Conclusion: After detecting an identifying the bleedings it is possible to order the patient queue prioritizing those most likely to have abnormalities and life-threatening situations. The algorithm also indicates the lesion location by showing the regions of the images that most activated the neural network.
Scholarly Achievement versus Editorial Board Membership. The Case of the Top Ten Polish Pedagogical Journals
Authors: Rębisz Sławomir
Published: December 2021

An invitation to become an editorial board member (EBM) of an academic journal should be regarded as evidence of recognition of a scholar’s research achievement and impact on his discipline. This is a requirement of Merton’s norm of universalism in science, which proposes that awards and prestige ought to be held to objective and pre-established impersonal criteria that depend exclusively on the quality of scholarly output. This principle is particularly important in the context of editorial teams of academic journals. The aim of this paper is to present an empirical case study of the academic achievements of the EBMs of the top ten Polish pedagogical journals, in 2020. For research purposes, the author assumed that the criterion for nomination to the editorial board was the scholars’ output, as evidenced by their publications indexed in the WoS and Scopus databases and also the number of corresponding citations. The results put into question the idea that the editorial nominations examined were indeed grounded in the publications indexed in the WoS and Scopus databases. Based on the record of EBMs output indexed in these databases, most EBMs analysed were not proven to be the most productive or cited scholars.
Análise dos acidentes com embarcações de pesca e sua relação com eventos meteoceanográficos no Brasil
Authors: Duarte Rosa Fabiano , Alves Thiago
Published: December 2021

A pesca comercial está entre as atividades laborais mais perigosas do mundo. A escassez nas capturas obrigou a frota pesqueira a se deslocar para áreas mais distantes do litoral e por períodos de tempo mais longos, tornando as viagens de pesca mais suscetíveis às mudanças bruscas nas condições meteoceanográficas. Estudos têm demonstrado a correlação entre a ocorrência de eventos meteoceanográficos adversos com o aumento do risco de ocorrência de acidentes. Esse tipo de abordagem no Brasil é ainda incipiente, o que motivou o desenvolvimento da presente proposta, que objetiva criar subsídios para a Autoridade Marítima estabelecer ferramentas de prevenção de acidentes com barcos de pesca. O método proposto prevê a sistematização dos registros de Inquéritos Administrativos e Fatos da Navegação (IAFN) da Autoridade Marítima para o período de 2015 a 2020. Os Avisos de Mau Tempo emitidos pela Marinha do Brasil para o mesmo período serão utilizados como parâmetro subjetivo das condições meteoceanográficas, e sua distribuição espacial e temporal para o litoral do Brasil deverá ser confrontada com o registro de acidentes. Os resultados preliminares indicam uma tendência de redução no número de acidentes para o período em análise. Os acidentes de maior ocorrência são os naufrágios e situação de homem ao mar. Este último apresentou a maior letalidade associada, sendo a região com maior incidência de acidentes está relacionada com o 5° Distrito Naval (PR, SC e RS), o que pode estar relacionado a maior ocorrência de fenômenos adversos, como a passagem de frentes frias e ciclones extratropicais.

Evaluating carbon use efficiency in forest types and ecoregions of Turkey
Authors: BULUT Sinan , GÜNLÜ Alkan
Published: December 2021

The total amount of carbon deposited by forests is gross primary productivity (GPP), and the net amount remaining after respiration is net primary productivity (NPP). The carbon storage effectiveness of forests is determined by the NPP:GPP ratio. This ratio is carbon use efficiency (CUE), and it is important for understanding the dynamics of carbon exchange between the biosphere and atmosphere. The aim of this study is to evaluate the variation of CUE, which is commonly used as a constant value in terrestrial carbon models, in different forest types and ecoregions of Turkey. The distribution of forest types in different ecoregions of Turkey was determined and, NPP, GPP, and CUE values were calculated for the different forest types in each region in this study. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite image was obtained for NPP and GPP content of forest types. In addition that the CORINE land use classification system was used for the spatial distribution of coniferous, broad-leaved and mixed forests in Turkey. The highest mean NPP (640 gC / m-2 y-1) and GPP (856 gC / m-2 y-1) were found in coniferous forests. The lowest NPP (267 gC / m-2 y-1) and GPP (493 gC / m-2 y-1) were detected in mixed forests in the Southeastern Anatolian Transitional Region. The highest CUE value was found in the Black Sea Climatic Region (0.89). Our results showed that the CUE was not a constant value. Although the mean CUE values among forest types were close to each other, significant differences were found between ecoregions. With the findings obtained, it is recommended that the CUE value should be determined under different environmental conditions
A Forest Policy Evaluation of Meeting the Raw Material Demand in Forest Products Industry from Natural Forests
Authors: ÇALIŞKAN Hüseyin , ÖZDEN Sezgin
Published: December 2021

After the 1970s, the energy demand for wood has increased, all over the world. After the 1990s, with the effect of increasing population, sustainability of forest resources has become crucial. According to FAO and UNEP (2020) the world's forests have decreased 4.74 million hectares in the last 10 years. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of meeting the raw material demand for wood from our natural forest resources in Turkey. Today, 11.8 million m3 of raw material is needed for the 21 Particle and Fibre Board enterprises in Turkey. The country has 22.9 million hectares, 1.7 billion m3 of forest assets. Raw material demand for wood is met by two different methods: importation or production. Although the need for raw materials is increasing day by day, it is seen that the import value has decreased from 1.5 billion dollars to 440 million dollars in the last 7 years, while the export value has increased by 250 million dollars. In the same period, the amount of industrial wood, produced by Turkey by using local resources, has increased by 11 million m3. In order to meet this demand, our state forests are seen as the first choice due to the high costs of import. Having this policy has two possible consequences. It causes a decrease in the number of species in mixed forests. The fact that the wood production capability of Turkey's forests is not sufficient to meet all the needs causes the future of our forest assets to be endangered.

Predicting Communicative Behavior of Higher Institutions Employees during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Conceptual Assessment
Authors: Adamu Adamu Abbas , Mohamad Bahtiar , Yuliaty Subarsa Putri Kinkin
Published: December 2021

Over the last three decades, a series of research has revealed how strategic communication may have a profound effect on how members of society behave. More precisely, communication theories have documented the media's ability to determine the agenda in society. The situational theory of problem-solving is particularly interesting because it explains why and how individual members of society communicate during a problematic situation. This hypothesis has been evaluated in a variety of contexts to determine its efficacy. However, few studies have been conducted to examine the influence of communication from corporations or governments to community members. The character of persons, particularly employees' information seeking and sharing behavior, has been significantly overlooked in the context of COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to investigate theoretically how employees to process, seek, forward, filter, choose, and exchange information regarding COVID 19.

MIGRATION AND CORONACRISIS: CONSEQUENCES, PROSPECTS, DIRECTIONS OF RESPONSE
Authors: Malynovska Olena
Published: December 2021

Labor migration abroad has a significant impact on the socio-economic and demographic development of Ukraine. Therefore, awareness of the consequences of the pandemic for migration processes, taking into account the migration component in developing a strategy for overcoming the crisis is extremely important. The article focuses on finding the key answers to adequately respond to migration challenges. The question is: ‘How does the crisis affect the situation of migrants? How does the crisis affect the intensity and direction of migration flows? How will these changes affect the development of the Ukrainian economy and society?’ There is not enough data on the dynamics of modern international migration. Therefore, the review of the hypothetical migration situation, as well as the development of recommendations for possible policy solutions, are based not only on their analysis, but also on generalizing the effects of previous economic crises on migration processes, identification and extrapolation to modern realities of their essential characteristics.

During the crisis, the demand for additional labor from abroad is declining, but this leads not so much to the return of migrants to their homeland, as to a decrease in emigration, but rather to its postponement. Not all countries and not all sectors of the economy are experiencing the crisis in the same way, so there is a flow of migrants from one area of employment to another, from the most affected by the crisis countries to more prosperous. It is not so much the power of migration flows that changes, but their direction and characteristics.

The return of migrants to Ukraine has not become widespread, it is only temporary, moreover, if the economic situation in the country will deteriorate, and in the countries of destination economic recovery will be successful, labor migration may intensify. Given the continuing labor migration from Ukraine, the state should significantly intensify its efforts to protect the rights and interests of Ukrainian citizens abroad. It is necessary to ensure access of migrants to medical services, social assistance, unemployment benefits, etc., to intensify the negotiation process with the countries of residence of migrant workers. Particular attention needs to be paid to supporting the repatriation flow, which can help reduce the shortage of workers needed by the economy, to serve a faster way out of the crisis.
THE RISE OF CHINA: IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
Authors: Kapitonenko Mykola
Published: December 2021

The article examines manifestations of China’s rise and the attendant risks for the international security system.

The author draws on a set of key approaches to measuring state power in his analysis of China’s hard and soft power as well as its structural capabilities. It has been demonstrated that China is closing the gap on the USA on key power indicators – the economic capabilities and military resources. However, a number of factors are slowing down its progress. With regard to the structural power, soft power and potential to engage allies the USA continues to hold significant advantages.

China’s hegemonic aspirations bring about considerable structural transformations into international politics and impact international security. Redistribution of power and influence would reconfigure alliances, and impose new limitations on the actions and expectations of states. The rise of China and growing tensions between China and the USA would cause a complex and large-scale impact on the security of not only those two states, but the rest of the world as well. At both global and bilateral levels, security institutions and structures will undergo changes.

The rise of bipolarity will escalate the standoff. The USA and China may become hostages to Thucydides Trap, whereby steps to maximize one’s security will lead to a greater threat – and eventually to a devastating conflict – as the other party will also try to reciprocate. China's rise may also pose a security dilemma for potential allies of both countries, weaken international institutions of cooperation and security, and engender a deep crisis of confidence.

Scenarios of how the system of international security could respond are examined from the perspective of a security dilemma, power transition theory, and hegemonic stability theory. While both theories view the situation as challenging, they differ in their analysis of the sources and scale of risks.

Published: December 2021

O presente trabalho busca evidenciar a importância histórica do meteorito brasileiro Santa Catharina, descoberto em 1875, em São Francisco do Sul, no estado de Santa Catarina. Cientistas renomados do século XIX, como Auguste Daubrée, estiveram envolvidos na discussão sobre a sua origem extraterrestre, resultando em diversas publicações científicas. Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico a respeito do achado, da sua composição química e da exportação de 25 toneladas como minério de níquel para a Europa. A correta identificação do local de queda do Santa Catharina foi possível unindo desenhos cartográficos da época com recursos tecnológicos atuais como o Gaia GPS.
FELSEFENİN DELİLİĞİNE YAKIN DURMAK: DELEUZE, NİETZSCHE VE KHAOSMOS
Authors: DEMİR Barışcan
Published: December 2021

Deliliği, aklı yücelten bir karşıt ya da bir yaşam tarzı olarak değil, farklı semantik olanakları tümüyle tıkayan topolojik bir sınır olarak ele aldığımızda, yalnızca insanların değil, felsefenin de deliliğinden bahsedebilir oluruz. Mutlak kosmos’un yarattığı dehşetten kaçınmak amacıyla mutlak khaos’a yönelen her düşünce, söz konusu semantik olanakları var eden sınırın ötesine ilerlemeyi, dolayısıyla da felsefenin nihilizme boyun eğişini talep etmektedir. Bu bipolar eğilimlerin düşünceyi sürüklediği nihilizmin karşısında felsefenin ayakta kalabilmesinin yegâne yolu, khaos ve kosmos’un simbiyotik ilişkisine odaklanmak, diğer bir deyişle düşünceyi bir khaosmos labirenti olarak kurmaktan geçmektedir. Bu çalışmada, ilkin Nietzsche’nin başlangıçta nasıl böylesi bir khaosmos labirentini inşa etme eğilimde olduğunu, ardından da giderek kosmos’a sırt çevirip düşüncesini mutlak khaos’ta yoğunlaştırdığını göstereceğim. Bu durumu felsefenin deliliğinin bir örneği olarak ele aldıktan sonraysa, Deleuze’ün Nietzsche yorumuna Apollon’u da dâhil ederek, khaosmos’un diliyle konuşan bir düşüncenin nasıl göstergebilimsel olanaklar yaratabileceğini ortaya koyacağım.
HEİDEGGER’İN HÜMANİST ÖZNE ELEŞTİRİSİ
Authors: YÜKSEL Resul
Published: December 2021

Heidegger’e göre modern felsefenin mümkün kıldığı hümanizm, gerek aşkın metafiziksel spekülasyonlar sebebiyle insanı varoluşsal köklerinden koparmış, gerekse dayattığı düalist özne-nesne tasnifi nedeniyle teknik düşünce yöntemini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bundan böyle doğa, üzerinde tahakküm ilişkisi kurulması gereken bir nesne pozisyonuna tenzil edilmiştir. Doğa, canlı bir ruha sahip olma vasfını yitirerek sömürü nesnesi haline gelmiş ve hesaplayıcı düşünce tarzının temelleri atılmıştır. Varolanlara yönelik hesaplayıcı düşünce, hümanizmin tesis ettiği epistemolojik ilkelerin bir neticesidir. Varlığı esas alan kökensel düşüncenin göz ardı edilmesi ve hesabi düşünme biçiminin çağımızda hâkim olması, varlığın insan varoluşundan yitip gitmesi anlamına gelir. Çağımızda nihilizmin bir ifadesi olarak kendini açığa vuran varlığın unutuluşu ve bundan dolayı insanın köksüz kalması, hümanizmin dayattığı metafiziksel ilkelerin sonucudur. Varlığın kendini yeniden açığa vurmasının iki yolu vardır; sanat ve kökensel düşünme. Techne’nin tahlil edilmesi, tehlikenin bulunduğu yerde kurtuluş imkânının da bulunduğunu gösterir. Zira techne, hem hümanizm sonrası varlığın unutulmasına neden olan modern tekniği hem de varlığa yeni bir dünya açmak suretiyle insan yaşamıyla varlığın münasebetini sağlayan sanatı içerir. Benzer şekilde Dasein’ın tahlili ise varlığı düşünmenin kökenini tesis eden insanın varoluşsal koşullarını ortaya çıkarır.
Rekontruksi Pendidikan Islam Humanis: Tinjauan Pemikiran A. Malik Fadjar dan Abdurrahman Mas’ud
Authors: Hasanah Uswatun , Fajriah Lailatul , Murtadho Ali
Published: December 2021

Pendidikan Islam saat ini hanya fokus mencerdaskan aspek akademis dan keterampilan semata, tanpa memperhatikan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan. Hal ini menimbulkan adanya dehumanisasi (penghilang harkat manusia). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji rekonstruksi Pendidikan Islam humanis perspektif A.Malik Fadjar dan Abdurahman Mas’ud. Adapun jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Library Research atau Penelitian Kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa Pendidikan Islam dibangun atas misi kemanusiaan tersebut dengan memanusiakan manusia (humanisasi). Dengan itu, pendidikan sangat dekat dengan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan. Pemikiran mengenai pendidikan yang memanusiakan manusia itu lah yang disebut dengan konsep pendidikan humanis. Konsep pendidikan humanis A. Malik fajar berpijak pada tauhid integral. Sedangkan konsep humanisme religius Abdurahman Mas’ud berpijak pada integrasi pilar keagamaan dan pilar kemanusiaan, Pendidikan islam  humanis diharapkan dapat mengembalikan Pendidikan Islam pada jiwa asalnya.

“Volta do ato institucional nº 5” e o cerceamento da democracia e dos direitos fundamentais
Authors: Alves Felipe Freitas de Araújo , Approbato Ana Patricia Ribeiro , Tarrega Maria Cristina Vidotte Blanco
Published: December 2021

Através de uma análise bibliográfica qualitativa se aplicável a contextualização do Ato Institucional nº 5 na época de sua vigência e nos ecossistemas encontrados atualmente por uma suposta volta, como também foram explicadas como consequências do Ato para o período do Golpe Militar e possíveis reverberações no Ordenamento Constitucional atual, caso haja novo atentado contra a democracia. O Ato Institucional nº 5, de 1967, chamado de “golpe dentro do golpe”, no bojo da tomada Militar de 1964, foi além de um recrudescimento das moldes da Ditadura, o período mais violento da “Revolução”, como era denominado o movimento pelos militares. Tal imposição legal surgiu das necessidades do Poder Executivo de afastar os civis que apoiaram o Golpe, do núcleo de comando, de abafar as dissonâncias com as elites políticas, intelectuais e jurídicas da sociedade brasileira, além de se precaver de protestos estudantis e da luta armada da esquerda reacionária, todos contrários aos rumos do Governo. Com o Ato se fechou o Congresso Nacional, perseguiu-se opositores com cassação de direitos políticos, interviu-se em esferas públicas e privadas, e deu-se supremacia ao Presidente da República, entre outras arbitrariedades. Por sua vez, a instabilidade política, que assola o Brasil atualmente, fez com que setores da sociedade apoiassem novas investidas militares na Ordem Democrática, inclusive a mais forte delas que se tem registro na história do país, que é o Ato Institucional nº 5. Um novo rompante aos Direitos Fundamentais significaria o fim da Constituição vigente, novas perseguições políticas e atraso no projeto de fortalecimento das Instituições Democráticas.
Construindo fantasias

Oferecida para recém ingressos na universidade, a disciplina Geometria Construtiva, desenvolve-se, em um ambiente experimental, por meio de uma série de exercícios e aulas expositivas e de repertório sobre artes visuais e abstração. O primeiro insight recai sobre a natureza, fonte para ampliação da acuidade tátil-visual. Do desenho de observação (imitação), parte-se para a interpretação e abstração (criação), que objetiva o desnudamento dos padrões ocultos nos ‘objetos ‘ da natureza. “Tornar visível o invisível” constitui um caminho necessário aos arquitetos, cujo principal desafio está no “jogo sábio, correto e magnífico” das formas abstratas. Avança-se então em direção à síntese, bastando, em seguida, uma sensibilização sobre características/propriedades dos materiais para que as criações bi e tridimensionais se realizem como arte (construção) ou, segundo Davidovici, como “formas esperando para ser arquitetura”. Com um repertório mais consolidado, pode-se encarar novas aventuras. A dança, o circo, o carnaval, o brinquedo, e As Cidades Invisíveis (1972), de Italo Calvino, tornam-se pretextos para exercícios mais libertos. Surgem então as fantasias... cujo ato criativo pressupõe um espírito lúdico que usa a abstração como ferramenta para construção de utopias. Lúdico, abstração e utopia implicam a ruptura de limites: o lúdico enquanto extrapolação da realidade cotidiana, a abstração como exercício de ampliação da capacidade visual e a utopia como enfraquecimento das fronteiras entre razão e imaginação.
