Supremo Tribunal Federal e a (in)coerência Interpretativa
Authors: Leão Martha Toribio
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo objetiva analisar criticamente a interpretação conferida pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal ao art. 5º, inciso XII, da Constituição, que trata do direito ao sigilo de dados bancários e da permissão, excepcional, de que este sigilo seja quebrado por meio de decisão judicial. Do ponto de vista do Direito Tributário, em 2015, o Supremo Tribunal Federal, no julgamento da Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade n. 2.390, flexibilizou referido direito ao sigilo de dados bancários e entendeu como constitucional o acesso da Receita Federal a estes dados sem decisão judicial para fins de fiscalização tributária. Do ponto de vista do Direito Penal, contudo, em decisão monocrática recente do Ministro Dias Toffoli no Recurso Extraordinário n. 1.055.941, foi determinada a suspensão de todos os processos penais em trâmite no Brasil em que tenha havido compartilhamento de dados bancários sem autorização judicial. O objeto deste artigo, portanto, é a divergência interpretativa do Supremo Tribunal Federal com relação ao mesmo dispositivo e a análise de suas consequências.
Criminalização do não Recolhimento do ICMS Próprio e a Ficção de Repercussão Jurídica dos Tributos
Authors: Koury Paulo Arthur Cavalcante
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo visa determinar se é válida a aplicação indistinta da ficção de repercussão jurídica dos tributos não cumulativos em matéria de competências tributárias e em questão de Direito Penal. Para tanto, iniciar-se-á pela demonstração da incorporação parcial, pelo Direito Tributário brasileiro, do pressuposto econômico de repercussão do tributo indireto, dando ensejo à chamada ficção de repercussão jurídica nos tributos não cumulativos. Em seguida, examinar-se-á a natureza jurídica dessa norma, bem como a sua função. Conclui-se que a ficção de repercussão jurídica dos tributos é eficaz relativamente à interpretação e aplicação das normas cuja função imediata seja a de resguardar direitos fundamentais de liberdade, como ocorre no caso das normas constitucionais de competência tributária e de imunidade tributária. No entanto, a ficção de repercussão jurídica dos tributos não é eficaz relativamente a normas que possuam a função imediata de limitação de direitos de liberdade, como são as regras de Direito Penal.

Authors: KARACA EMEL , CALISKAN MUSTAFA
Published: September 2020

In this article, firstly, the isomorphism between the subset of the tangent bundle of Lorentzian unit sphere, TM, and Lorentzian unit sphere, S12 is represented. Secondly, the isomorphism between the subset of hyperbolic unit sphere, TM, and hyperbolic unit sphere, H2 is given. According to E. Study mapping, any curve on S12 or H2 corresponds to a ruled surface in R13. By constructing these isomorphisms, we correspond to any natural lift curve on TM or TM a unique ruled surface in R13. Then we calculate striction curve, shape operator, Gaussian curvature and mean curvature of these ruled surfaces. We give developability condition of these ruled surfaces. Finally, we give examples to support the main results.

KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDE REGARDING EPILEPSY AMONG NURSES IN ASUTIFI NORTH DISTRICT
Authors: Asare Richard Opoku , Boakye Akwasi , Aryee Paul Armah
Published: September 2020

Background: Epilepsy is one of the world’s oldest known brain disorders among several medical conditions. A recent study has indicated that 70 million people are estimated to suffer from this disease. Despite the increase education and health care, some health professionals continue to linger in darkness about cause and treatment options of the disease.Purpose. The main objective of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding epilepsy among nurses within the Asutifi North District with the aim of understanding their subjective experiences and knowledge on epilepsy in a socio-cultural context and how their attitude shaped their practice towards people with epilepsy.Methodology. The study employed an exploratory descriptive cross-sectional design with 102 participants using a standard statistical formula. Data was collected using a paper based semi-structured self-administered questionnaire and analysis was by STATA version 12.Results. Findings showed that 67.7% (69/102) of the nurses were aware of the causes of epilepsy whereas 59.8% have low level of knowledge on the disease. Results indicated that 82.4% of the nurses suspect PWE have mental illness, 70.6% of the nurses had positive attitude towards epilepsy. The socio-demographic characteristics of religion (Muslim) (p=0.017), area of speciality (RMN) (p=0.045) as well as close family relationship with epilepsy (p=0.001) were significantly associated with knowledge on epilepsy. Factors that were found to influence attitude towards epilepsy were sex (Female) (p=0.037) and religion (Muslim) (p=0.012). However, specialty area (RMN) (p=0.054) did not statistically impact on the study. Nurses at the Asutifi North District therefore tended to have low knowledge and positive attitude on epilepsy. It is important to improve training and health care delivery for epilepsy.Recommendation. The Ghana Health Service in collaboration with the Ministry of Health should run intermediary workshops, at least every six months, to train nurses in epilepsy diagnoses to reduce the treatment gap. The health directorate should raise awareness and educate the communities on epilepsy to reduce stigma. Enhancing nursing education and training on epilepsy by the Ministry of Health and its agencies is imperative to improving health care delivery for people living with the disease

Teachers were sampled from public basic schools in the municipality using the Yamane’s formula for known sampling frame to arrive at 226 participants for the study. The multi-stage and convenience sampling techniques were then used to sample teachers from five of the seven circuits with each circuit being allocated 62 teachers for the study. A semi-structured questionnaire which was used for the data collection was adapted from a study in Namibia. Chi squares and P-values were applied to determine the association between dependent and independent variables as confidence level set at 0.05. Data was analyzed with SPSS version 20.Results: The study found that majority of the teachers, 167 (73.9%) were knowledgeable about epilepsy and 191 (84.5%) had positive attitudes toward epilepsy. However, seizure management practices among the teachers were poor; only 44 (19.3%) of the teachers had appropriate seizure management practices. Notwithstanding, the religion of the teachers was found to be significantly associated with knowledge on epilepsy (p=0.041). The study found that marital status had an effect on attitudes toward epilepsy (p=0.004), whilst educational qualification was also significantly associated with attitudes toward epilepsy (p=0.001). The self-rated knowledge levels of the teachers, had no significant relationship with seizure management practices (p=0.508).Conclusion: Though majority of the teachers had adequate knowledge and positive attitudes toward epilepsy, it did not reflect in appropriate management of seizure.Recommendation: The Ghana Health Service should collaborate with the Ghana Education Service in training teachers on the management of seizure attacks.

Purpose: The objective of this research is to design a traffic model for optimum performance analysis and enhancements of IEEE 802.11b QOS parameters. It investigated the effect of traffic distribution on the quality of service parameter on WLAN, in other to establish enhanced WLAN Performance.  In order to evaluate the mean packet delay and network throughput performance, this research has presented a traffic loading for MAC DCF which supports WLAN’s QOS Parameters.Methodology: Based on this model, a computer simulation model over a MATLAB Simulink was developed.Results: In this research, results show that the IEEE 802.11b does not perform well in terms of high throughput, and low mean delay at high traffic load conditions. Furthermore, it was also shown that the mean packet delay of arrived packets decreases as the number of workstations decreases, but at saturation, it was shown that throughput decreases, mean packet delay increases. Therefore, to achieve a better enhanced network performance, it was observed that IEEE 802.11b WLAN QOS parameters can be improved to a maximum throughput.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: To investigate the effects of management support on IS usage and organizational culture on the performance of universities in Nairobi County, Kenya.Methodology: The study assumed a descriptive research design because it facilitated the gathering of quantifiable information that was used for statistical inference on the target group.Results: Management support and organizational culture had significant influence on the performance of universities.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Management support within universities should consider augmenting their support to tangible levels so as to directly affect the adoption and adaption levels within the technical and other faculty and administration staff. This can be realized among other ways by formulating and appropriating pro IS policies as well as consciously apportioning fair budgetary votes towards IS advancement. There is need of initiating an organizational culture change within public universities whilst creating awareness as to why IS adoption and process automation would be beneficial to the user and the university as a whole

Breaking the ISIS Brand Counter Narrative Facebook Campaigns in Europe
Authors: Speckhard Anne , Ellenberg Molly
Published: September 2020

Despite the territorial demise of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria [ISIS], the group’s cyberoperations, which once drew an unprecedented 45,000 foreign terrorist fighters [FTFs] to their so-called Caliphate, continue to entice supporters online. ISIS’s slick, high-quality content encourages supporters to hope for the return of the Caliphate and to seek revenge upon those who destroyed it by executing attacks at home. The European Union [EU] was one of the highest contributors of FTFs to ISIS and continues to be a hotspot for ISIS directed and inspired attacks. The International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism [ICSVE] has produced over 180 counter narrative video clips featuring ISIS defectors, returnees, and imprisoned cadres denouncing the group, published in over 100 Facebook campaigns. This article details the results of 20 one-minute long counter narrative Facebook campaigns in eight EU countries. The results support marketing best practices of using shorter videos to increase viewer retention and suggest that EU viewers are more engaged with counter narratives in which the speaker is relatable and representative of the audience toward which the video is targeted.
Egyptian Cinema and the 2011 Revolution
Authors: Ghazal Ahmed
Published: September 2020

Egypt's film industry is the largest in the Middle East, with an output that spreads across the region and the world. In the run-up to and throughout the 2011 Revolution, a complex relationship formed between the industry and the people's uprising. Both a form of political expression and a documentation of historical events, 'revolutionary' film techniques have contributed to the cultural memory of 2011. At the same time, these films and their makers have been the target of increasing state control and intervention.

Ahmed Ghazal, drawing upon his own background in film-making, looks at the way in which Egyptian film has shaped, and been shaped by, the events leading up to and beyond Egypt's 2011 revolution. Drawing on interviews with protagonists in the industry, analysis of films, and archival research, he analyses the critical issues affecting the political economy of the industry. He also explores the technological developments of independent productions and the cinematic themes of dictatorship, poverty, corruption and police brutality that have accompanied the people's calls for freedom - and the counterrevolution that has tried to suppress them.
Cult TV Heroines
Authors: Miller Catriona
Published: September 2020

From Mrs Peel to the first female Doctor Who, this book offers a timely focus on the popular phenomenon of the cult TV heroine. The enduring phenomenon of cult TV itself is carefully explored through questions of genre, the role of the audience and the external environment of technological advances and business drivers. Catriona Miller then suggests a fresh account of the psychological dimension of the phenomenon utilising Carl Jung’s concepts of the transcendent function and active imagination.

Her analysis of the heroines themselves considers the workings of the audio-visual text alongside narrative and character arcs, exploring the complex and contradictory ways in which the heroines are represented. Established cult TV favourites such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X Files, and Xena: Warrior Princess are examined alongside more recent shows such as Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Jessica Jones and American Horror Story: Coven.
