General Patterns and National Features of the Identity Formation in the Post-Soviet Space: the Experience of Moldova
Authors: Dobrovolskaya A.
Published: August 2020

The article discusses the processes of searching for the national identity of the Republic of Moldova during the post-communist transit. The conditions in which the reforms took place in the country and the factors that influenced the directions and priorities of the development of Moldavian society are analyzed. It is shown that the processes of the formation of a political nation in the Republic proceeded in an environment of socio-political crises and conflicts, fluctuations in domestic and foreign policy and had a non-linear wave-like character. The search for national identity in Moldova was accompanied by the emergence of ideological, political and value splits in the political elite and among the masses of Moldavian society, which intensified and softened with a certain frequency. It is stated that the Republic of Moldova is practically the only country in Europe where identification differences were a determining factor in the polarization of political forces, and identity conflicts became a significant factor in political mobilization. It is noted that the incompleteness of the process of national self-identification in Moldova is largely determined by external factors, as a result of which the state acts as an object of influence of more significant subjects of international politics. It is concluded that although the political system of the Republic of Moldova supports the existence of democratic trends, the achievement of value consensus through the creation of a broad dialogue in the public space and general civil discourse remains an urgent task for the national elites.

The experience of the political transit of the Republic of Moldova has confirmed the fact that during the formation of political nations there are frequent cases when the confrontation of symbols, meanings and historical dates does not occur between different states, but takes place within society itself. Moldova has become a classic example of an identification split that divides the country into East and West, North and South, whose residents appeal to different versions of national history.

Published: August 2020

Background: Neonatal mortality remains a public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa especially in Nigeria and poor cord care is a major contributor to the high neonatal mortality. The objective of this study was to assess the awareness and practice of Chlorhexidine cord care by women of reproductive age in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State. Methods: This was a community based descriptive cross sectional study carried out among women of childbearing age in Lwellem Community of Jos South Local Government Area. A structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information from respondents who were selected through total population sampling. Data was analyzed using Statistical package for the Social Sciences version 20.Results: Three hundred women with children aged less than 5 years were administered the questionnaire. Two hundred and ninety seven (99%) were of low socio-economic status, 71 (23.5%) were farmers, 75 (25%) were traders and 60 (20%) were not gainfully employed. One hundred and sixty seven (55.6%) mothers were uneducated, 286 (95.3%) attended antenatal care during their last pregnancy and 78 (26.0%) were aware of Chlorhexidine use for newborn cord care with 89 (29.6%) using it. One hundred and sixty eight (56.0%) women practiced cord care to hasten falling of the cord and 85 (28.3%) practiced it to prevent infection. Conclusion: There is low awareness and use of Chlorhexidine for cord care in newborns. Women of reproductive age in this community should be educated on the use of Chlorhexidine cord care for newborns to reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality resulting from cord sepsis due to poor cord care practices.

Ganhou especial relevância a educação informal, momento em que os alunos discutiram sobre ciências, trazendo-a para suas vidas diárias.
De Newton a Einstein: a geometrização da gravitação
Authors: Toniato Junior Diniz
Published: August 2020

Discute-se de que forma se dava o entendimento da atração gravitacional na teoria de Newton e até o advento da relatividade geral de Einstein. Explica-se como o surgimento do eletromagnetismo levantou questões à física newtoniana e conduziu até a relatividade especial. Também se discute as dificuldades de se adequar a gravitação de Newton a uma formulação relativística e as diversas teorias gravitacionais que surgiram antes de Einstein apresentar sua ideia de interpretar a gravitação como um fenômeno geométrico.
Matéria escura, energia escura e a busca por uma nova teoria para a gravitação
Authors: Velten Hermano
Published: August 2020

Vamos discutir como a teoria da relatividade geral (RG) de Einstein nos conduz aos conceitos de matéria escura  e energia escura que, juntas, devem compor cerca de 95% do universo.  O desconhecimento da natureza destas componentes escuras nos leva a um delicado questionamento: Será que a RG é correta? Existiriam outras teorias para a gravitação?

Astrologia e astronomia: os paralelos entre a crença e a ciência
Authors: Cipriano Agrizzi Julia , Barossi Izabela Luiza , Damasceno Loureiro Letícia , Sousa Correa Liviane , Costalonga Gama Aline
Published: August 2020

Os questionamentos são marcos na trajetória da humanidade que influenciaram na constante busca em compreender os fenômenos e os mistérios do mundo. Nas mais diversas civilizações, as sociedades utilizavam da observação acerca das periodicidades dos astros para sobreviverem no meio ambiente. No entanto, com base no pensamento da época, as interferências astrais nos fenômenos naturais eram averiguadas de forma transcendental, legitimando, assim, culturalmente, a astrologia. Entretanto, por meio dos conhecimentos atuais, é possível afirmar que a astrologia constitui uma crença, antagônica à astronomia, ciência submetida à lógica racional. Com a experimentação colocada como parte essencial da ciência, o método científico se edifica, e a astrologia se torna uma superstição, refutada pelas novas descobertas científicas, tais como a lei da gravitação universal e o movimento de precessão da Terra. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo afirmar que a astrologia não é, cientificamente, verdade, a partir dos resultados de uma pesquisa realizada com 102 pessoas sobre a possível existência de uma correlação entre as fases da Lua e o nascimento dos entrevistados. Além disso, será descrito, ao longo do trabalho, como os astros verdadeiramente têm influência na Terra. Hoje, como consequência da intensificação da pós-verdade em argumentos infundados e incoerentes, a ciência tem sido negligenciada, acarretando um grande retrocesso social. Assim, essa simples pesquisa, realizada com propósitos educacionais, revela a importância do debate e da reflexão crítica acerca das informações que recebemos.
primeira imagem de um buraco negro
Authors: Matsuura Oscar T.
Published: August 2020

Considere ao pé-da-letra a expressão "imagem de um buraco negro", atribuindo a cada palavra o significado usual. Verá que ela não faz muito sentido e, se faz, soa estranha. É que a expressão é científica. Cada palavra adquiriu significado num vasto contexto de conceitos articulados numa teoria; esses conceitos, por sua vez, muitas vezes têm referências empíricas laboratoriais ou observacionais (astronômicas); o desenrolar histórico, normalmente imprevisível de descobertas observacionais ou de criações intelectuais, também adiciona às palavras, não explicações causais, mas meras referências casuais. Considerando a importância da popularização da ciência, como meio de promover a necessária alfabetização e letramento científico do público em geral, resolvi tirar vantagem da empolgação científica já suscitada pela grande mídia, quando anunciou a primeira imagem de um buraco negro. Não era mais preciso interessar as pessoas, pois elas já estavam interessadas no tema. Porém, notas quase telegráficas de jornais e noticiários atingem apenas superficialmente o público. Como teste de uma estratégia de divulgação científica e, também, como experimento de comunicação científica, decidi preparar e oferecer ao público um texto, antes de tudo elucidador do conteúdo científico e da complexa técnica de obtenção da imagem, mas também crítico do modo científico de investigar a natureza e incitador da aplicação da ciência, na medida em que ela possa tornar o mundo melhor e mais humano.
A (im)possibilidade da concessão de auxílio-transporte a servidores públicos federais que utilizam veí­culo próprio: uma reflexão jurídica - The (im)possibility of granting a transportation allowance to federal public servants who use their own vehicles
Authors: Coutinho Willian Silva
Published: August 2020

O auxílio-transporte é um benefício destinado aos empregados e servidores públicos federais para o custeio parcial de suas despesas com transporte coletivo no deslocamento residência/trabalho/residência. Acerca desse benefício, este artigo examina as questões atinentes à possibilidade de sua concessão aos servidores que utilizam veículo próprio, em vez de meio de transporte dito coletivo. Apesar das restrições regulamentares, há entendimento jurisprudencial pela possibilidade da concessão do benefício em casos tais, tendo em vista uma análise fático-jurídica à luz dos princípios da igualdade e razoabilidade. Mediante o confronto entre a jurisprudência firmada e as restrições à concessão do benefício, e em face do crescente número de demandas judiciais, constata-se a necessidade de reapreciação da matéria pelos Poderes competentes, com vistas a uma resolução salutar.

 

The transportation allowance is a benefit available to federal public servants and federal public employees to cover part of the cost of their commute to and from work on public transport. This article examines the possibility of granting such an allowance to public servants who use their own vehicles, rather than public transport, to travel to their workplace. In spite of regulatory restrictions, there is authority in case law for the possibility of granting the allowance in such cases, in the light of a factual and legal analysis founded on the principles of equality and reasonableness. As legal disputes on the matter continue to grow, a comparison of established case law with the regulatory restrictions currently imposed on the granting of the allowance illustrates a need for a review of the matter by the competent powers with a view to a salutary resolution.
Reflexões sobre a aplicação de institutos penais aos atos ímprobos - Reflections on the application of the penal institutes to administrative dishonesty
Authors: Gomes Camila Paula de Barros
Published: August 2020

A natureza dos atos de improbidade administrativa provoca acirradas discussões no universo jurídico nacional. Como consequência, muitos defendem a transposição para os atos ímprobos, de institutos característicos da esfera criminal como a tentativa, o foro por prerrogativa de função, o princípio da insignificância e a teoria da cegueira deliberada. O objetivo desse artigo é analisar a natureza da improbidade administrativa para, a partir daí, verificar o cabimento da transposição desses institutos penais para uma infração de natureza diversa. Para tanto foi utilizada a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental.

As a consequence, many defend the transposition to the administrative desonesty, of institutes characteristic of the criminal sphere as the attempt, the forum by prerogative of function, the principle of insignificance and the theory of the deliberate blindness. The purpose of this article is to analyze the nature of administrative improbity in order to verify the appropriateness of transposing these penal institutes into a violation of a different nature. For this purpose bibliographical and documentary research was used.

Resumo: O presente estudo buscou descrever e analisar a forma como a Administração Pública municipal de Caçapava do Sul realiza a gestão das pessoas encaminhadas pelo Poder Judiciário para cumprimento da pena de prestação de serviços às entidades públicas, através da análise dos processos referentes ao ano de 2017. Para tanto, utilizou-se de uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, além de se valer de pesquisa documental e entrevista. Nesse período, constatou-se a existência de 64 encaminhamentos de pessoas para prestação de serviços. Dentre esses, apurou-se que 76,6% (49) dos processos encaminhados tiveram início, enquanto 23,4% (15) não começaram. Ademais, excluindo dez pessoas (15,6%) que não haviam sido designadas para nenhum lugar, verificou-se que 63% (34) das pessoas foram encaminhadas para a Secretaria de Obras. No tocante aos tipos penais imputados aos prestadores de serviço, constatou-se que 45,3% (29) das pessoas encaminhadas foram acusadas de posse de drogas. Após a entrevista com o servidor responsável, identificou-se três pontos de aperfeiçoamento na gestão das prestações: critérios objetivos e impessoais para a definição do setor de cumprimento; controle efetivo da frequência das pessoas prestadoras de serviços e troca de informações com o Poder Judiciário local a respeito da situação de cumprimento da prestação.

Abstract: The present study sought to describe and analyze how the Municipal Public Administration of Caçapava do Sul manages the people sent by the Judiciary to fulfill the penalty of providing services to public entities, through the analysis of the processes for the year 2017.For that, a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory methodological approach was used, in addition to documentary research and interview.

In addition, excluding 10 people (15.6%) who had not been assigned to any place, it was found that 63% (34) of the people were referred to the Secretary of Works. Regarding the criminal types attributed to service providers, it was found that 45.3% (29) of the people referred were charged with possession of drugs. After the interview, three points of improvement in the management of the benefits were identified: objective and impersonal criteria for the definition of the compliance sector; effective control of the frequency of persons providing services and exchange of information with the local Judiciary regarding the status of compliance with the provision.
Repartindo o pão alheio: as consequências em royalties aos municípios em função dos tipos de contratos de exploração de petróleo - Reparting bread for others: the consequences in royalties to the municipalities as a result of the types of oil exploitation
Authors: Beirão André Panno , Nichols Gabriela
Published: August 2020

Resumo:  A exploração petrolífera offshore no Brasil tem se expandido de forma exponencial. Esse crescimento, vem acompanhado da necessidade de consolidação de segurança jurídica a investidores (sejam nacionais ou internacionais) e, consequentemente, nos tipos de contrato disponíveis a essa exploração. Outra questão relevante decorrente é a consolidação das contrapartidas dos investidores aos entes da administração pública, sejam Agências, o Estado brasileiro, os estados federados ou mesmo o município que, mediante legislação, merecem distintos tipos de compensação. Assim sendo, o presente trabalho tem o propósito de apresentar o problema, descrevendo as modalidades contratuais previstas no ordenamento jurídico nacional, desde os mais usuais a outras modalidades menos utilizadas, mas existentes em outros países. Além disso apresenta a distinção de distribuição de Royalties aos diversos entes federados em cada uma dessas modalidades, permitindo concluir que não há ainda consolidação dessa contrapartida em todas as modalidades contratuais.

Abstract: Offshore oil exploration in Brazil has expanded exponentially. This growth is accompanied by the need to consolidate legal certainty for investors (whether national or international) and, consequently, on the types of contracts available to the holding. Another relevant issue is the consolidation of the counterparts of the investors to the entities of the public administration, be they Agencies, the Brazilian State, the federal states or even the municipality that, through legislation, deserve different types of compensation. Thus, the present work has the purpose of presenting the problem, describing the contractual modalities foreseen in the national legal system, from the most usual to other modalities less used, but existing in other countries. In addition, it presents the distinction of distribution of Royalties to the various federated entities in each of these modalities, allowing to conclude that there is not yet a consolidation of that counterpart in all contractual modalities.

Para tanto, realiza-se uma revisÃ£o bibliogrÃ¡fica e levantamento de dado. Conclui-se que no referido municÃ­pio hÃ¡ violaÃ§Ã£o do direito fundamental Ã  Ã¡gua, por se considerar que esse direito sÃ³ seria concretizado se nÃ£o houvesse dÃºvidas quanto a sua potabilidade. Defende-se que a prÃ³pria distribuiÃ§Ã£o da Ã¡gua ante a dÃºvida quanto a sua qualidade caracteriza violaÃ§Ã£o.Â

This article deals with the Union's civil liability for the compensation of environmental damage caused by mining industry activities which were approved. Considering that mining is characterized by relying on ultra-hazardous activities to the environmental balance ofÂ  ecosystems where they are developed, on the premise that the execution of mining activities by private enterprises depend on authorizations or concessions granted by federal organs, from the analysis of doctrine and jurisprudence regarding the legal mining regime in Brazil, the objective of this work is to provide theoretical principles to demonstrate that the approval expressed by the Union is the cause of creating a serious environmental hazard that sets an allocation factor capable of justifying the charge of liability to the State as a result of the decision that authorizes an ultra-hazardous activity.

O legado de uma educadora rural cearense do século XX
Authors: Câmara Yls Rabelo
Published: August 2020

Esse trabalho volta-se para a biografia e para a análise da importância laboral de Maria Nazaré Saraiva Rabelo, uma educadora rural do distrito de Juazeiro de Baixo, em Morada Nova, no Ceará, que viveu entre 1912 e 1998 e se dedicou por trinta e nove anos à educação de crianças e jovens do seu entorno. Utilizamos os recursos de abordagem da História Oral e entrevistamos dez sujeitos, todos ex-alunos seus. Com base em investigadores consagrados da área como Araújo (2002), Bueno et al. (2006), Calazans (1993) e Torres e Simões (2018), analisamos seu perfil e concluímos que ainda que a historiografia não contemple suficientemente as biografias de educadoras rurais do século passado, o estudo mais apurado de algumas delas é mister, a fim de que conheçamos quem foram as grandes educadoras leigas anônimas que levaram conhecimento e acolhimento aos rincões mais inóspitos do país em uma época idem.

Published: August 2020

A educação necessita de métodos e recursos variados para o processo de aprendizagem. Assim, pode-se destacar a monitoria como uma metodologia que proporciona interação e melhoria do ensino aos discentes, tanto aos alunos quanto os monitores por ser uma oportunidade de ensino e aprendizado diferenciada. Nesse contexto, pretende-se neste trabalho analisar a monitoria como metodologia no processo de aprendizagem para aprender a empreender e disseminar a cultura empreendedora. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, realizada no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Ceará (IFCE) – Campus de Baturité, cujo foco foram as atividades do estudante-monitor da disciplina de Empreendedorismo. Dentre as atividades realizadas pelo monitor destaca-se o acompanhamento dos discentes com o gerenciamento das suas miniempresas, produção de relatórios avaliativos e acompanhamentos individuais. Considera-se, por meio deste estudo, que a monitoria deve ser entendida, estudada e aplicada na prática da docência dos cursos.

The State of the Muslim Ummah in Contemporary World
Authors: Sule Babayo
Published: August 2020

The current state of affairs in the Muslim Ummah called for concern by every conscious Muslim contemporarily. The Islamic civilisation which introduced the whole world into the world of research and development, political organisation, economic prosperity and equality as well as cultural enrichment is now languishing in backwardness and crises. This study analysed the current condition of the Muslim Ummah in the present world based on the predicaments that are bedeviling the Islamic world. The problem is the nature and situation in which all the values and promises of Islamic civilisation are not utilised by the Muslims which threw them into their current comatose condition. The research used secondary sources of data such as the Quran, Hadith, books, journals and reports and statistics from organisations and agencies. The data collected were analysed critically using statistical and descriptive-analytical method to discuss some important themes of the subject matter. The work discovered that the current state of affairs of the Muslim Ummah is undesirable. It is dominated and encircled by internal crises, leadership failure, disunity, economic, political, social, cultural, military and technological backwardness in comparison with their Western counterparts. This has not been natural. The Decline of leadership in the Muslim world, Crusades and colonialism contributed to the predicaments of the Muslim world. The work suggested that the previous generation of Muslims faced trials and tribulations but they persevered and faced the challenges until God have mercy on them and rescue their situation. The same should be adopted by the present Ummah in dealing with its problems
Religion Sectarianism in Yoruba Land and Threats to Its Millennial Tribal Union
Authors: Taiwo Matthew T. , Taiwo Victor O.
Published: August 2020

The Yoruba people have lived harmoniously as a kin for as long as the tribe has been in existence without religious strain despite the myriads of choices of beliefs that their traditional religion (Iseese) offered; and also, with the advent of foreign religions, Christian and Muslims have continuously live together in Yoruba land, often in harmony with practitioners of Yoruba traditional religion. In the recent age, there has been a curve of trend as the tribal relationships among the Yoruba people have gradually been eroding due to increasing infiltrations and activism of religion extremists. This research examined the damage religious sectarianism wreaked on the kinship relationship among the Yoruba folks. The research was qualitative, and situated within fundamentalism theory, a religious philosophy which depicts advocacy and strict adherence to a religious doctrine or belief. Data collections which are based on both primary and secondary sources are participatory, observatory and library oriented. It is concluded that religion has done more harm than good, but the situation can be redeemed with good understanding of the intended purpose of religion ingrained in the religious zealots.

Published: August 2020

This article discusses the impact of Malaysia's formation on September 16, 1963. The establishment of Malaysia involves Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore. Planning at the early stage includes Brunei but the State withdrew at the end of Malaysia's formation. Singapore also dropped out from the Malaysia Formation two years later in 1965. The formation of Malaysia has affected Malaysia to this day. The objective of the study is to discuss the benefits of politics, socialization and racial relations in Malaysia. Among the things discussed in this article are the benefits of the platform of socialisation and racial relations in Malaysia as well as the political aspects. Both of these were examined using historical approaches and library research. The findings show that Malaysia's establishment has made Malaysia a unique nation with racial diversity. This includes the establishment of many political parties based on their respective race or tribe, especially in Sabah and Sarawak. All Malaysians enjoy the benefits of Malaysia’s establishment for harmony and peace.

In every country the existence of capital markets is fundamental in the development of the economy. Capital market, in addition to its function as a means to gather and allocate the public funds. Numerous companies attempted to fix up in order to get into a stock market and do the Initial Public Offering (IPO). But it is not an easy job, various preparations should be carried out and of course it takes some time and effort and considerable cost. In addition to stock market laws, the market is also governed by various regulations issued by the market authorities and stock exchanges as the SRO. In the U.S., the authority is the SEC and in Indonesia the capital market authority is the OJK. Stock exchanges such as the NYSE in the U.S. and Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI) in Indonesia also issued various rules regulate all companies listed the shares in the stock exchanges. Internationalization means to bring something local to the international level. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is supposed to applicable only in the U.S, it is not applicable in Indonesia. But the law is brought from the U.S brought to Indonesia to be applied to Indonesian companies that have the stocks listed with the U.S stock market. The application of the Act brought some problems to Indonesian companies that have to comply with all requirements stipulated in the Act.
A Cashless Policy and Economic Development in Nigeria
Authors: Ibukun Fatogun Olukunle , Cynthia Ajao Chukwudumebi
Published: August 2020

A cashless economy is an environment in which money is spent without being physically carried from one place to another. It is meant to be an economic setting where services and goods are paid for via electronic which includes credit cards, bank transfer and Cheques, with no bill or money handed from one person to another. The cashless policy was introduced in January 2012, the robust interest which the policy has generated is surprising considering the effects on the business environment and particularly lives of ordinary Nigerians. The study showed that cashless policy reduces the movement of cash through usage of ATM, fund transfer, mobile banking. It helps financial transactions to be done without delay, it reduces money laundering. The study indicated that there is a very weak positive relationship between cash movement, joint effect of delivery of financial transactions and cashless policy (R= 0.245) and the model is not significant. However, for the relationship between internet availability, cashless policy and cash movement, the relationship between cash movement, the joint effect of internet availability and cashless policy is also weak ( R = 0.295 ). The model is also significant. The policy is faced with challenges ranging from erratic power supply, electronic fraud, lack of adequate sensitization, poor internet services, high rate of illiteracy and computerization. The benefits include but not limited to reduction in revenue leakages, it helps to reduce cash related crimes, the cost of handling cash is reduced to the barest minimum
Structure and Modus Operandi of Code of Conduct Bureau and Public Complaints Commission in Enthroning Accountability in Governance: Nigeria Experience
Authors: Michael Alao Olaleke
Published: August 2020

Laden with corruption, fear, and lack of job security, politicization reigns supreme; one would expect nothing short of low or poor performance of the accountability institutions in Nigeria. There have been lots of scholarly works on accountability, accountability institutions, administration and performance of one accountability institution or the other. It was revealed that majority of the studies examined the activities or performance of these accountability institutions. Most of the scholars that wrote on accountability institutions in Nigeria picked one institution at a time and more often than not, limit their study to limitations, challenges and impediments of performance; and/or at best bring out impediments of delivery of service.  Some of the foreign scholars’ writings and works conformed to the peculiarities of their environment which is different from what exists in Nigeria of today.  What they wrote did not foresee the influence of politics on administration and did not put peculiarity of Nigeria into consideration. Issues like above the law syndrome, sacred cows, godfatherism, nepotism, favouritism, etc were not considered. This study in its peculiar form, afforded the staff of Public Complaints Commission and Code of Conduct Bureau the opportunity for self-assessment and self auditing; they were bulk of the respondents for both the questionnaire administration and interview.  Accountability institutions in Nigeria have been alleged of not performing up to expectation or not performing at all by the public. It is against this background that this study seeks to assess the structure and modus operandi of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Public Complaints Commission in enthroning accountability in Governance. The study found out from the available information collected through the administration of questionnaire and conduct of in-depth interview that the awareness of Public Complaints Commission (PCC) and Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) is not in any way in-doubt amongst the elites in the country; the structure are perfect enough for the purpose for which it is set; there is cordial relationship between the superior and the subordinate; and there is room for free flow of information in the institutions.
