Vidas precárias: tecnologias de governo e modos de gestão da fecundidade de mulheres “vulneráveis”
Authors: Brandão Elaine Reis , Cabral Cristiane da Silva
Published: December 2021

Resumo Lacunas no planejamento reprodutivo, após 25 anos da Lei de Planejamento Familiar, no Brasil, têm promovido uma ressignificação do controle reprodutivo. As expressivas dificuldades para realização da laqueadura tubária no Sistema Único de Saúde têm permitido o florescimento de estratégias governamentais fomentando acesso estratificado e racializado a métodos contraceptivos reversíveis de longa duração (LARC). A pesquisa etnográfica apoiou-se em fontes documentais sobre iniciativas institucionais para inclusão de LARC no sistema público de saúde, tomando-se o município de São Paulo como caso empírico paradigmático. Envoltas no ideário da cidadania, argumenta-se que tais tecnologias de governo são acionadas na direção contrária à ampliação de direitos sexuais e reprodutivos, para reificar estereótipos sociais que subtraem a autonomia reprodutiva das mulheres. Tomando o conceito de “coerção contraceptiva” como categoria de análise, demonstra-se como tais expedientes ferem o paradigma da justiça reprodutiva no Brasil ao se institucionalizar a exclusão social pelo útero das mulheres “vulneráveis”.
Argonautas, cem anos depois
Authors: Peirano Mariza
Published: December 2021

Resumo Partindo da relação intrínseca entre teoria e etnografia, abordo neste artigo alguns dos motivos pelos quais, ainda hoje, Argonautas do Pacífico Ocidental é uma referência central para as ciências sociais. Precursor da pesquisa de campo intensiva, Malinowski definiu diretrizes, favoreceu novas teorias, nutriu ideais, formulou utopias e influenciou outras disciplinas das humanidades, tornando-se ele próprio uma figura mítica na antropologia. Deixou para as futuras gerações o desafio da procura do “ponto de vista nativo” e a elaboração de “teorias etnográficas”. O texto aborda também o estilo de pesquisa anterior à de Malinowski, a forma da monografia, a relação entre seu diário de campo e as cartas escritas na época, e as reanálises a que o livro foi submetido.

Published: December 2021

Resumo A drenagem ácida de mina da mineração de carvão é um dos mais graves problemas ambientais que existem atualmente e é caracterizada, principalmente, por apresentar elevada acidez, baixo pH e expressiva concentração de metais tóxicos, como ferro, Mn e muitos outros, afetando diretamente mananciais e rios. Em busca de uma alternativa que pudesse melhorar, de forma eficiente e econômica, os níveis de acidez e ferro da água impactada pela drenagem ácida de mina, foi desenvolvido um adsorvente geopolimérico à base de materiais residuais da indústria cerâmica e do beneficiamento de arroz (cinzas da casca de arroz). O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a eficiência do geopolímero na remoção de íons ferro em água contaminada com drenagem ácida de mina. Foram avaliados aspectos de dosagem do adsorvente, efeito da temperatura, concentrações iniciais de ferro, cinética e parâmetros termodinâmicos do processo de adsorção. O percentual de ferro removido foi de 92,76%, à temperatura de 25 °C, em um período de 20 min, com uma concentração de adsorvente de 4 g L-1. A capacidade máxima de adsorção de ferro pelo geopolímero foi de 7,18 mg.g-1. O principal mecanismo de adsorção ocorreu em razão da quimissorção, que segue o modelo cinético de pseudossegunda ordem. O geopolímero se mostrou como uma alternativa eficiente ao tratamento de água contaminada com drenagem ácida de mina.
Saneamento importa? Uma análise da relação entre condições sanitárias e COVID-19 nas capitais brasileiras
Authors: Ferreira Demétrius , Silva Lucas , Figueiredo Filho Dalson Britto
Published: December 2021

RESUMO Este artigo analisa a relação entre o saneamento básico e a disseminação da COVID-19 nas capitais brasileiras. Para tanto, estima-se o Índice de Acesso ao Saneamento Básico pela redução das dimensões cobertura do saneamento e qualidade da gestão, obtidas por dados disponíveis no Sistema Nacional de Informação sobre Saneamento. Em seguida, aferiu-se o nível de associação entre saneamento e taxas de incidência e mortalidade da doença em todas as capitais brasileiras entre março e setembro de 2020. Os resultados sugerem que Curitiba (0,824), Campo Grande (0,808) e Goiânia (0,794) lideram o ranking de acesso ao saneamento básico. Além disso, as evidências apontam para uma correlação negativa entre saneamento e taxas de incidência e mortalidade por COVID-19. Contudo, a significância estatística das estimativas varia em função do tempo. Esses achados estão alinhados com a literatura internacional, que identifica o acesso ao saneamento como uma medida chave de profilaxia de doenças infecciosas.
Indicadores sociais sobre pessoas com deficiência intelectual: ensaio interseccional com vistas a políticas de educação
Authors: Lopes Ingrid Anelise , Gonzalez Roseli Kubo , Prieto Rosângela Gavioli
Published: December 2021

Resumo Com o objetivo de analisar intersecções entre indicadores sociais relacionados às pessoas classificadas na categoria deficiência intelectual (DI) no Brasil e suas implicações para as políticas educacionais, neste artigo apresentamos a caracterização dessa população a partir da extração de dados do Censo Demográfico de 2010, aplicando as recomendações do Grupo de Washington para a definição do quantitativo de pessoas com deficiência no país. Da análise de perspectiva interseccional, conclui-se que, em comparação com as demais categorias de deficiência, DI é a que mais sofre desvantagens nos indicadores de acesso ao trabalho (ocupação), rendimento nominal mensal e alfabetização. Além disso, os resultados quanto à categoria sexo mostram este como um eixo de subordinação, uma vez que o feminino apresenta menos acesso aos direitos sociais abordados neste estudo. Em relação à identificação racial das pessoas com DI no país, esta parece influenciar a classificação de sujeitos nessa categoria de deficiência, uma vez que é composta majoritariamente por homens negros. Contudo os dados não nos permitiram articular o eixo raça com os demais, indicando a emergente necessidade de produzir e divulgar informações que permitam análise e apreensão de como diferentes eixos de subordinação afetam a vida das pessoas com DI no Brasil e o que indicam para a implementação das políticas educacionais, como um vetor no enfrentamento de desigualdades que marcam singularmente a situação das pessoas com DI quando comparadas à população geral e, também, a outras categorias de deficiência.
Educação, redistribuição e reconhecimento: contribuições do pensamento de Nancy Fraser para a debate sobre justiça
Authors: Soares Swamy de Paula Lima
Published: December 2021

Resumo Este artigo discute as contribuições da filósofa e ativista norte-americana Nancy Fraser para o debate sobre redistribuição e reconhecimento, analisando possíveis repercussões na relação entre justiça e educação. O debate ora apresentado tem sido um dos mais fecundos nas ciências sociais nos últimos anos, com forte repercussão para as políticas sociais e educacionais. A questão é compreender em que medida as políticas priorizam aspectos mais universais, com foco no conceito de equidade e em seus desdobramentos, ou ações de reconhecimento de identidades, pauta que tem ganhado centralidade, inclusive, nos discursos educacionais a partir do debate sobre gênero. Conhecida pela sua atuação no debate sobre feminismo, Fraser tem como um de seus focos de análise a organização dos discursos e das ações políticas no contexto das lutas nacionais e transnacionais. A partir das contribuições de Fraser, busca-se compreender as tensões deste debate e as perspectivas conciliatórias entre as duas correntes. Ao final, procura-se refletir sobre como redistribuição e reconhecimento influenciam o debate educacional, especialmente no momento social e político contemporâneo. De tendência conciliadora, Fraser aponta a possibilidade de pontes entre ações políticas que valorizem as identidades dos sujeitos e as que fortaleçam lutas históricas ligadas à universalização de direitos e da justa distribuição financeira que, em países como o Brasil, ainda estão longe de serem temas de um passado distante.

LEIS DE PONTE NA FILOSOFIA DA MENTE E NAS CIÊNCIAS FÍSICAS
Authors: Pessoa Jr. Osvaldo
Published: December 2021

(Este artigo faz parte de um projeto da Trans/Form/Ação: revista de filosofia da Unesp. Trata-se do Dossiê Filosofia Autoral, a ser publicado em 2022.) No debate sobre a redutibilidade da mente sobre o corpo, argumentamos que não é plausível supor que tal redução possa se dar apenas a partir das condições físicas basais, mas que é necessário levar em conta também as leis de ponte psicofisiológicas. Esta posição é geralmente considerada antirreducionista na Filosofia da Mente, mas preferimos chamá-la de “reducionismo indutivo”, devido à analogia com duas outras formas de determinação nas Ciências Físicas: o determinismo causal e o reducionismo escalar espacial. A discussão é feita com base em “sondas epistemológicas” abstratas, como o demônio de Laplace, o demônio escalar e o demônio psicofisiológico. Criticamos também a noção de causalidade sincrônica das por Searle.

Authors: Porto Boenavides Débora Luciene
Published: December 2021

Neste artigo, buscamos traçar o percurso brasileiro da análise dialógica do discurso (ADD), a partir da análise das publicações e das recepções das obras que compõem o referencial da ADD no país e de uma retomada da trajetória já traçada por pesquisadoras(es) brasileiras(os). Desse modo, listamos quatro fases da ADD no Brasil. Na primeira fase de recepção, percebemos que foram realizadas leituras esparsas, a partir de publicações de algumas obras do Círculo de Bakhtin em russo, francês, inglês, espanhol e italiano. Já a segunda fase foi marcada pela publicação das primeiras edições brasileiras de obras do Círculo. Na terceira fase, os teóricos brasileiros da ADD buscaram sistematizar os conceitos e metodologias presentes nas obras do Círculo. Por fim, na última fase, na qual nos encontramos atualmente, busca-se contextualizar cada vez mais a ADD, através, principalmente, da publicação de obras traduzidas por pesquisadores da ADD, com notas críticas e históricas.

Published: December 2021

Although different kinds of foundations have been investigated against an earthquake faulting, the interaction between pile group and dip–slip fault has not yet been fully understood. This paper investigates the interaction between piled raft and normal faulting by means of centrifuge and numerical modelling. In centrifuge test, a piled raft was simulated with a half model for a better observation of fault rupture path under the raft. The loading transfer mechanism was further examined using a three-dimensional finite difference software. The measured and computed results showed that the piled raft displaced and tilted linearly with the magnitude of faulting. The fault rupture bifurcated into two and diverted towards both edges of the raft. Two types of loading transfer mechanism were identified during faulting. Working load transferred from the raft to the underneath piles, and also from the piles on the side of the hanging wall to the piles on the footwall side, resulting in compression failure of the piles on the footwall side.
Land use variables affecting travel behaviour: a review
Authors: Jameel Abeer K. , Jassim Najwa W. , Abdulwahab Areej M.
Published: December 2021

Research on the impact of land use variables on travel behaviour is reviewed. The focus is on density as an important measure of land use and its interaction with transportation systems. The effect of density was first addressed decades ago, so research published since the 1960s was reviewed. The reviewed works were classified into two groups according to the most commonly used measure of density and the most common variables of travel behaviour. The first group comprised 26 studies published before 2000 and the second group comprised more than 45 studies published after 2000. Population density was the main density term used in the first group while employment density and configurations of densities were integrated as measures in the second group. A direct relationship between mode choice and journey length was established. However, knowledge gaps were also identified, such as the effect of density on trip generation rate, type of trip according to trip purpose, internal and external trips, and trips on weekdays and weekends.

Many publications have been devoted to the geological and geomorphological study of both Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega – the largest lakes of Northwest Russia and Europe. The last comprehensive geological studies of Lake Onega were carried out by Polar Marine Geosurvey Expedition as part of a geological survey at a scale of 1: 500,000 [12] and by Finnish researchers [19] at the beginning of the 21st century. Subsequently, these data were included in the third-generation State Geological Map at a scale of 1:1 000 000 [13]. Study of the basin’s geological structure was resumed in 2016 by researchers from the Northern Water Problems Institute of the Karelian Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg State University, Lomonosov Moscow State University and Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, as well as representatives of other scientific organizations. The works included geological sampling, drilling from ice platform, seismoacoustic profiling and side-scan sonar. The aim of the works was to clarify data on the structural features of the Upper Pleistocene and Holocene deposits of Lake Onega and the genesis of the lake basin relief. Based on the data obtained in the course of field studies, a new distribution scheme of the Lake Onega Quaternary deposits was drawn up. Comparison of the scheme with the data on the bottom topography made it possible to characterize its genesis and draw up a geomorphological scheme. The data presented in this article can be used to update and supplement the State Geological Map of the Northwest Russia, as well as to solve other problems of Quaternary geology and paleogeography.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of exercise modes on the effectiveness of teaching boys aged 14 a cartwheel. Materials and methods. The study participants were 20 boys aged 14. The children and their parents were fully informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment. To solve the tasks set, the following research methods were used: study and analysis of scientific and methodological literature; pedagogical observation, timing of training tasks; pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics, discriminant analysis. Results. The assumption was made about a significant influence of the modes of alternating exercise repetitions and the rest interval on the effectiveness of motor skills development in boys aged 14. The study found that the mode of 6 sets 2 times each with a rest interval of 60 s is more effective than the mode of 6 sets 1 time each with a rest interval of 60 s when teaching the first, second, and fourth series of tasks (p < 0.05). The mode of 6 sets 1 time each with a rest interval of 60 s is more effective when teaching the fifth and sixth series of tasks (p < 0.05). Conclusions. Discriminant analysis made it possible to determine the impact of the number of repetitions on the effectiveness of developing the cartwheel skill in boys aged 14. Based on the analysis of group centroids, it was found that exercise modes significantly influence the cartwheel skill development in boys aged 14 during physical education classes. The results of group classification show that 100 % of the original grouped observations were classified correctly.
Synthesis of Adenine-based Fluorescent and Naked-eye Chemosensors: Specific DNA Probes for the Detection of Bacterial Pathogens
Authors: Şener Burak , Baysal Ömür , Nadeem Said , Silme Ragıp Soner
Published: December 2021

A rapid and confident tool to identify and diagnose bacterial pathogens with more accuracy using DNA as fingerprints is necessary. Herein, we report a smart chemosensor having a terminal adenine sticking to the thymine of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) through supramolecular interactions and, which leaves ssDNA when the same ssDNA matches with the targeting desired DNA. We have synthesized a naked-eye coloured chemosensor with carbazole. As a model genetic material, DNA of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis was hybridized to ssDNA and immobilized over nitrocellulose membrane. The prepared adenine-chemosensor, by passing through the nitrocellulose-ssDNA membrane caused the formation of ssDNA nitrocellulose-ssDNA-adenine-chemosensor. FTIR results of the immobilized ssDNAs showed that the matching of same ssDNA releases the adenine-chemosensor from the surface of nitrocellulose-ssDNA that results in formation of the double stranded DNA. The selectivity of chemosensor was also confirmed with different bacterial DNA (Bacillus subtilis) as control. These data highlights accurate and reliable results of a new diagnostic kit prototype promising for further studies, which is able to diagnose DNA quickly and precisely.

Authors: Yao Lei , Hong Chao , Dashtifard Hani , Esmaeili Hossein
Published: December 2021

This study aimed to determine the best adsorbent among Moringa oleifera-derived activated carbon (AC), eggshell-derived CaO nanoparticles and CaO/Fe3O4 for sodium (Na+) removal from aqueous media. In the first step, the appropriate adsorbent for sodium adsorption was determined among the three adsorbents, which the results showed that the AC had the highest sorption efficiency. Then, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to evaluate the impact of different factors on the Na+ ion sorption efficiency using the AC. The highest removal efficiency was obtained to be 95.91% at optimum conditions such as pH of 11, contact time of 45 min, temperature of 25 °C, sodium ion concentration of 900 mg/L, and adsorbent dosage of 5 g/L. Also, the best conditions using the genetic algorithm was obtained at contact time of 94.97 min, adsorbent dosage of 3.52 g/L, Na+ ion concentration of 939.92 mg/L and pH value of 10.92. Moreover, the maximum sorption capacity using the Langmuir model was obtained to be 249.67 mg/g, which was a significant value. Besides, the equilibrium and kinetic studies indicated that the experimental data of sodium adsorption process were fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, respectively. Furthermore, the thermodynamic study indicated that the sorption process was endothermic. Generally, among the three adsorbents used, activated carbon with a high removal efficiency and significant sorption capacity can be considered as a promising adsorbent for the removal of sodium from wastewater on an industrial scale.

Authors: Sinkovič Lovro , Nečemer Marijan , Pipan Barbara , Meglič Vladimir
Published: December 2021

The current study involves two analytical research techniques, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectroscopy, used to determine the elemental composition of different legumes usually produced and consumed in Slovenia. Results indicate that data obtained using these methods are in agreement with certified reference materials. In total, nineteen elements were determined from twenty legume samples. An intercomparison between four macro- (P, S, K, Ca) and three microelements (Fe, Zn, Mo) measured using ICP-MS and EDXRF methods showed a strong correlation. The EDXRF was found to be a cheaper, simpler and more environmentally friendly method for determination of elements P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Fe, Zn, Mo, Sr, Rb, Ti and Br in legumes, while for the identification and determination of Na, Mg, V, Cr, Mn, Co and Cu content ICP‐MS was the method of choice due to its excellent sensitivity and accuracy. Using principal component analysis (PCA), the samples of the studied legumes were classified into four groups according to their elemental composition.

Published: December 2021

Catalytic efficacy of the nickel(II)-diphosphine systems in the dehydrogenation of 1-phenylethanol to acetophenone under acceptorless conditions was investigated. Steric and electronic factors of the phosphine ligands were found to play an important role in the catalysis, while the nature of the base used and the reaction conditions, viz. time, tempe rature, and stoichiometry, have also shown major influence. Based on the preliminary analysis, a homogeneous pathway, perhaps involving nickel hydride species, was proposed. Due to the gradual disintegration of the catalytic species, deterioration of catalytic activity was observed resulting into low to moderate conversions. Among the series of catalysts examined, the highest conversion of 52% was exhibited by the catalyst C4, dichloro(1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) nickel(II) (5 mol%), when loaded with 50 mol% of sodium ethoxide in toluene at 120 °C.

Three new copper(II) complexes, [Cu(LH)2]Br2 (1), [Cu(LH)2]NCS2 (2), and [Cu(LH)2](NO3)2 (3), where LH is the zwitterionic form of 2-bromo-6-((2-(isopropylamino)ethylimino)methyl)phenol (HL), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The structures of the complexes were further confirmed by single crystal X-ray structure determination. All compounds are mononuclear copper(II) complexes. The Cu atoms in the complexes are coordinated by two imino N and two phenolate O atoms from two LH ligands, forming square planar coordination. The compounds were assayed for their antimicrobial activities.

Published: December 2021

The uniqueness of the Bay of Brunei makes it an ideal place to be inhabited by Irrawaddy dolphins. However, the increasing potential impacts of anthropogenic factors and environmental changes on the dolphins are alarming. The objectives of this study were to determine the seasonal occurrence and distribution, and to estimate the group size of Irrawaddy dolphins in the Bay of Brunei. Surveys were conducted between January 2016 and April 2018. The total distance surveyed was 2,439.2 km in 189.13 h (survey effort = 13,081.93 km.h). Forty-nine groups of Irrawaddy dolphins were recorded with a sighting rate of 0.37 per 100 km.h. Thirteen of the groups were observed with calves. Overall, the group size ranged between 1 and 15 individuals with a mean of 4.5 individuals (SD = 3.3). There was no statistical significance in the number of dolphin sightings between four different monsoon seasons (Northeast, Southwest, April Inter-monsoon, and October Inter-monsoon) (χ2 = 5.66, df = 3, p > 0.05). The number of sightings and number of individuals suggest that Irrawaddy dolphins are residents of the Bay of Brunei and are in need of a conservation management plan.
Influence of Zeolite on the Compaction Characteristics and Shear Strength Parameters of Cemented Sand
Authors: Norouznejad Ghasem , Shooshpasha Issa , Mirhosseini Seyed Mohammad , Afzalirad Mobin
Published: December 2021

It is well known that in geotechnical engineering, soil stabilization using cement is one of the appropriate approaches for enhancing soil characteristics. With respect to zeolite, its impact on the characteristics of cemented soil has not been fully evaluated. Thus, in the current research, a set of laboratory tests including standard Proctor compaction and direct shear tests (DSTs) considering four cement contents (2, 4, 6, and 8% of sand dry weight) and four zeolite contents (0%, 30%, 60%, and 90% of cement percentage as a replacement material) was carried out. The results indicated that the zeolite reduced Maximum Dry Density (MDD) while it increased value of Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) of cemented sand. Through the DSTs, it has been found that the replacement of cement by zeolite up to 30%, leads to the highest values of shear strength parameters due to the occurrence of pozzolanic and chemical reactions, particularly the production of higher amounts of calcium aluminate and calcium silicate hydrates in comparison with zeolite-free samples.
Hatékonyság és demokrácia: helyi kormányzási dilemmák a finn periférián
Authors: Németh Sarolta , Matti Fritsch
Published: December 2021

A tanulmány azt vizsgálja, hogy a helyi önkormányzásban és döntéshozatalban miképp kapcsolhatók össze a hatékonyság és a demokratikus elszámoltathatóság eltérő céljai és feltételei. Először egy rövid elméleti, szakirodalmi áttekintés alapján jellemezzük a helyi szint kormányzás különböző elemeit aszerint, hogy azokat a hatékonyság vagy az elszámoltathatóság céljainak rendelik-e alá. Ezt követően egy periferikus helyzet finn kisváros, Lieksa esettanulmányán keresztül igyekszünk közelebbről megvizsgálni a hatékonyság és elszámoltathatóság lehetséges összefüggéseit.
Elnéptelenedéssel és forráshiánnyal küzdve, Lieksa 2015-től jelentősen átalakította kormányzási és menedzsment folyamatait annak érdekében, hogy hatékonyabb eszközöket nyújthasson fejlesztési céljainak megvalósításához, elsősorban a vállalkozói környezet javításához. Az átalakulás meghatározó eleme a 2015-ben elfogadott településfejlesztési stratégia, mely a gazdasági életképesség (helyi „vitalitás") célkitűzése mellett a közösség és az állampolgárok helyi döntéshozatalban való részvételének megerősítésére helyezi a hangsúlyt. Tanulmányunk a RELOCAL projekt keretében elvégzett szélesebb kör kutatás eredményein, a településen 2018-2019-ben készített interjúk és fókuszcsoportok anyagának feldolgozásán alapszik. Arra keressük a választ, hogy (1) milyen megfontolások vezérel(het)ik a helyi döntéshozókat a település új fejlesztési stratégiájának hatékony kivitelezése és a demokratikus elszámoltathatóság megvalósítása közötti egyensúlyozásban, illetve, (2) hogy mit érhet elcsupán a kormányzási, döntéshozatali folyamatok megújításával egy periferikus helyzet, területi hátrányokkal küzdő kisváros önkormányzata.
Az esettanulmány rávilágít arra, hogy az önkormányzás hatékonysága és eredményessége nem választható el annak elszámoltathatóságától és legitimitásától. Megfelelő módon és arányban kombinálva, mechanizmusaik kölcsönösen erősíthetik egymást. A település vezetőinek azonban a különböző helyi érdekcsoportokkal és a település lakóival közös, reflektív tanulási folyamatban kell részt venniük ahhoz, hogy optimális választ találjanak az olyan összetett demográfiai, társadalmi, gazdasági kérdésekre, mint a „zsugorodás" (shrinking), vagy éppen a hatékony kormányzás és a demokratikus elszámoltathatóság közötti egyensúly megteremtése. Azonban, bár innovációk ugyan gyakran kényszerek hatására születnek, külső támogatás hiányában a helyi „öngyógyító" folyamatok eredményei rövid életűnek és sérülékenynek bizonyulhatnak.

Application of the bootstrap method on a large input data set - case study western part of the Sava Depression
Authors: Ivšinović Josip , Litvić Nikola
Published: December 2021

The bootstrap method is a nonparametric statistical method that provides through resampling the input data set to obtain a new data set that is normally distributed. Due to various factors, deep geological data are difficult to obtain many data set, and in most cases, they are not normally distributed. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a statistical tool that will enable obtaining a set with which statistical analyses can be done. The bootstrap method was applied to field "A", reservoir "L" located in the western part of the Sava Depression. It was applied to the geological variable of porosity on a set of 25 data. The minimum number of resampling's required for a large sample to obtain a normal distribution is 1000. Interval estimation of porosity for reservoir "L" obtained by bootstrap method is 0.1875 to 0.2144 with 95% confidence level.

Published: December 2021

Pebbles taken from the bed of the Cretaceous Abeokuta Formation paraconglomerate near the Oluwa River were used to infer the depositional setting and the nature of the source area, through the integration of bivariate and ternary (sphericity-form and Zingg diagrams) analyses. Deposition in a river environment is indicated by the high sphericity values, ranging from 0.59 to 0.88 (average 0.70). Also, bivariate plots of the maximum projection sphericity (ψp) vs. oblate-prolate index (OPI) and flatness index (FI) vs. maximum projection sphericity (ψp) point to the domination of fluvial processes. Dominantly elongated, compact elongated, compact and compact-bladed pebbles are typical for sedimentary regime with prevalence of fluvial over beach processes. Co-existence of various pebbles shapes (mainly disc, rod-, and sphere-shaped), despite of the similar, predominantly quartz composition, may occur due to the different clast fabrics. This heterogeneity also indicates various transport distances and water energies, pointing to the multiple source areas.
Conditions for Granting Compulsory License for Dependent Invention Use
Authors: Puchinina M. M.
Published: December 2021

The paper deals with the institution of compulsory licensing for dependent inventions. Currently, its  most important application is in the pharmaceutical industry. In order to launch generic drugs that are dependent  inventions pharmaceutical companies have to enter into licensing agreements with the developers of original  drugs. The law enforcement practice that began in 2018 in the Russian Federation showed that paragraph 2 of  Art. 1362 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which establishes the conditions for granting a compulsory  license for the use of a dependent invention, needs to be harmonized and supplemented in order to protect and  regulate the balance of private and public interests. To solve this problem, the author analyses the wording of  the corresponding legal norm found in international agreements, in particular in the TRIPS Agreement, and in  the national legislation of different countries as well as the effectiveness of its application. Based on the results  of the study, possible clarifications are given to the conditions for granting a compulsory license for the use of a  dependent invention under paragraph 2 of Art. 1362 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
Appealing against Decisions on Reimbursement of Procedural Costs Made in accordance with Part 3 of Art. 131 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation
Authors: Zelenin S. R.
Published: December 2021

The legality and validity of the decisions of the investigator, inquirer and the prosecutor on the payment  of the amounts related to procedural costs remain problematic due to the absence in the law of a mechanism  ensuring the judicial procedure for their appeal.  

In order to fill this gap, the author studies the possibilities of introducing a procedure similar to the one enshrined  in Art. 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. The paper analyzes the positions of the  Resolution of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 18-P dated May 13, 2021. It concerns the  victims’ appeal against the decisions of the investigator and the head of the investigative body regarding the  reimbursement of expenses for a representative. Some examples of judicial practice for resolving other disputes  related to the reimbursement of procedural costs are also analyzed.  

It is concluded that the right of a person claiming to receive the amounts provided for in Part 2 of Art. 131 of the  Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation against a judicial appeal made at his request is universal  and does not depend either on his status in a criminal case, or on the type of the indicated amounts, or on the  body or official that made the contested decision.  

Taking into account the practice of applying other norms on appealing against decisions of the investigating  bodies, it was proposed to introduce Art. 125.2. The author formulate its content given the characteristics of the  participants in the proceedings and the powers of the court to resolve the complaint.

Authors: Chirkovsky V.
Published: December 2021

In September last year, we had the opportunity to report to the Society of Neuropathologists and Psychiatrists on the operations we performed to cut the optic nerve inside the skull in mammals (rabbit and cat) and demonstrate the phenomena observed after such an operation on the movements of the iris. The starting point of our experiments were the observations of Marenhi, demonstrating at the Turin Congress of Physiologists in 1900 the phenomenon of pupillary reaction to light in rabbits after the transection of the optic nerve inside the skull.
