Ten years later: critical reflections on the European Court’s vision regarding sharia

The article discusses the implications of the Refah Partisi vs. Turkey case. The Court has made onerous assumptions about the notion sharia by declaring it a ‘violation of [European Human Rights] Convention values’. The Court should not have ventured into an interpretation of a highly technical and controversial term like ‘sharia’, especially when done so in connection with the inciting use of that term by Refat Partisi members. Moreover, given the fact that sharia also encompasses religious rituals like prayer, fasting and burial, calling sharia a violation of human rights is a misnomer. The Court should not have allowed itself to get lured into a domain it is not knowledgeable about but should have stuck to strict legal reasoning.

Bij de responsieve benadering van toezicht staan dialoog en overtuigen centraal. Over hoe deze benadering zich verhoudt tot de opvattingen en feitelijke ervaringen van ondernemers is nog weinig bekend. In dit artikel brengen de auteurs de kant van de ondernemer in beeld. Zij doen dat op basis van een enquête onder 2.000 kleine en middelgrote bedrijven. Bij hen is nagegaan hoe de ervaringen en verwachtingen van ondernemers met inspectiediensten zich verhouden tot het beleidsmatige uitgangspunt van responsieve handhaving. De auteurs leiden er vervolgens uit af of er een voedingsbodem is voor responsieve handhavingsstijlen.

Het beoordelen van risico’s: een subjectieve zaak

The role of subjective factors in risk evaluation

In measuring safety a difference appears to exist between ‘objectively measured safety’ and the subjective perception by the public. Objectively spoken the level of criminality in a neighbourhood may have gone down, but that doesn’t necessary mean that the people living there ‘feel equally safer’. Psychology gives a number of explanations for this phenomenon. For example, the knowledge, the differences in thinking styles and communication about safety with citizens play an important role. This should not be seen as a case of non-rational thinking, but rather of systematic irrationality. These people are not ‘dumb’, they have (sometimes hard-wired) ways of handling information about complex issues like safety that require them to take ‘mental shortcuts’ (heuristics) in order to estimate the risks they are exposed to. This paper will focus on some of the psychological laws that guide our risk perception and surprisingly enough, the ‘objective risk’ seems to be of relatively little importance if compared with other, more subjective factors. Many of the factors relate to the nature of information citizens are exposed to: a risk that this described in easy to imagine way leads to a different evaluation of that risk compared with a less conspicuous presentation. Also the level of expertise of the ‘receiving end’ must be taken into account. Lay-people have different ways to look at risks compared with experts in a certain domain. The discussion on how to improve safety is probably best served with a continuing debate between ‘rational, objective’ and ‘systematic irrational, subjective’ mental models, while recognising their respective strengths and weaknesses. These findings may assist policy makers in particular in the formulation of policy that, in addition to the security objective as such, also improves the perception of safety.

Medico-legal expertise for victims of domestic violence in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, police can request a physical examination of victims of domestic violence. These examinations can be either carried out by the physician who has treated the victim, or, alternatively, by a forensic physician. From a medico-legal point of view, an examination by a forensic physician has several advantages, as forensic physicians are independent and trained in examining victims of violence and reporting to the police. The aim of the current study was to (1) describe the structure of forensic services for victims of domestic violence in the Netherlands, (2) establish with whom the police request physical examinations of victims (forensic physician vs. physicians who have treated the victim), (3) explore the underlying reasons for the choice made and (4) elaborate how the current cooperation of police and forensic physicians can be improved in favour of victims of domestic violence. For this purpose, interviews were carried out with police professionals and forensic physicians throughout the country. The results demonstrated that victims can access forensic services almost exclusively on referral by the police. Furthermore, the police in most cases request physical examinations from physicians who have treated the victim and not from forensic physicians. Reasons for referring victims to treating physicians instead of forensic physicians are costs and lack of information on forensic services. Reports provided by treating physicians are criticized by the police for being illegible, incomprehensible, and lacking information on aspects which are of importance for the legal procedure. In short, the legal position of victims could be strengthened by requesting physical examinations from forensic physicians instead from treating physicians. A major obstacle to change is a lack of funding. Furthermore, forensic services for victims of domestic violence in the Netherlands could be improved if victims could access forensic services without referral of the police.

The implications of criminal law for sexual contact with youngsters

Teenagers between twelve and eighteen years of age are protected by Dutch criminal law against sexual encounters that can be described as ‘voluntarily’. If teenagers are approached without force or approach a person themselves autonomously they are thus protected against such contact, but they could have played a sexual active role nevertheless. How do the alleged offenders in these criminal cases make contact and how are the punishable interactions possible considering the facilitative role of the victim? This paper will deal with the way the officials of the police and justice departments value sexual contacts with youngsters in a diverse range of settings. The crucial question is how the professionals dealing with the protection of youngsters and at the same time safeguarding the legal rights of offenders come to their juridical deliberation.
Van overlastmelding naar een globale typering van problematische jeugdgroepen: de shortlist als quickscan

From incidental nuisance reports to a troublesome youth group. The shortlist as a quick scan

The ‘Shortlist troublesome youth groups’ is a compact survey that enables police-officers to categorize problematic youth groups on a general level. The ‘shortlist’ results in three categories. The least troublesome groups are labelled ‘annoying’, the more serious groups are referred to as ‘disturbing’ and the most serious ones are called ‘criminal’ youth groups. As a quick scan, the shortlist tool has originally been developed in order to prevent criminalization of youth. It has now become a compulsorily used instrument for all 25 police services in the Netherlands. The shortlist is seen as the central starting point that should ultimately lead to the implementation of multidisciplinary interventions to tackle the specific problems that the youth groups cause.This article briefly discusses the highly subjective judgements of perceptions of disorder in society. Against this background this article describes the aim, the benefits and limits to the use of the shortlist. This analysis is based on fifteen years of experience with the annual listing of troublesome youth groups by means of the shortlist at the Haaglanden police service.This contribution concludes that the shortlist is a useful instrument that enables police officers to efficiently categorize problematic youth groups. Several changes by the Haaglanden police service with regard to the content as well as to the procedure further optimized the use of the shortlist. However, its global characteristic hampers evaluation of local safety interventions on the group. Also, comparisons of results between police services are not possible just like that. For those purposes (evaluations and comparisons) additional, i.e. more detailed information on the groups are to be gathered. The shortlist-methodology consists of further steps that include more in-depth analyses.Having said this, the shortlist is a valuable quick scan tool that enables professionals to swiftly categorize problematic youth groups.

On the fear victimization paradox and the rationality of the rationality debate

This contribution focuses on ‘fear of crime’ research. Departing from the classic distinction between crime and victimization as objective threats, on the one hand, and fear of crime as a subjective and emotional interpretation of that threat, on the other hand, the research tradition is confronted with the so-called fear victimization paradox. This paradox emerges from the observation that fear of crime is greater among women and elderly people, while these groups actually are less at risk of becoming a crime victim. It has immersed the research tradition in a dominant debate on the rationality of the fear of crime, with two opposing paradigms: rationalist and symbolic.Whilst both the paradox and the different paradigms in the debate offer a view at the core of fear of crime research, and illustrate how similar empirical observations can lead to differing explanations, and policy implications for that matter, we argue that the fear victimization paradox and the rationality debate surrounding this paradox, has occupied the bulk of research on fear of crime with what is essentially a nonsensical and redundant debate.
Grensvervaging tussen interne en externe veiligheid

Blurring boundaries between internal and external security. Background and consequences

Internal and external security are traditionally considered to be distinct concepts that allow police organizations and tasks to be differentiated from those of the military. Internal security is then viewed as oriented towards the maintenance of the order within a state and to be exercised against fellow citizens with a limited use of violence. External security deals with the protection of the territory and is exercised against foreign enemies, may include the use of excessive violence. In practice, however, the boundaries between these concepts and between police and military aims and tasks have become blurred. The extension of the security concept, a change in the nature of interventions on foreign territory and a shifting image of the enemy create an overlap between internal and external security issues and actors. This evolution seriously challenges the existing legal and normative frameworks that rely heavily on assumptions based on the distinction between internal and external security.

Police investigations in Internet open sources: procedural-law issues

Analysing large amounts of data goes to the heart of the challenges confronting intelligence and law enforcement professionals today. Increasingly, this involves Internet data that are ‘open source’ or ‘publicly available’. Projects such as the European FP7 VIRTUOSO aim at developing platforms for open-source intelligence by law enforcement and public security, which open up opportunities for large-scale, automated data gathering and analysis. However, the mere fact that data are publicly available does not imply an absence of restrictions to researching them. This paper investigates one area of legal constraints, namely Dutch criminal-procedure law in relation to open-source data gathering by the police. Which legal basis is there for this activity? And under what conditions can foreign open sources be investigated?

After sketching the context of the VIRTUOSO project and legal constraints of open-source intelligence in general, this paper discusses provisions of the Dutch Police Act 1993 and the Code of Criminal Procedure to determine which is the correct legal basis for gathering data from openly accessible and semi-open sources. Next, cross-border gathering of data is discussed on the basis of article 32 of the Cybercrime Convention. The paper draws the conclusion that investigating open sources by the police will often go beyond what is allowed on the basis of the general task description of the police (art. 2 Police Act 1993); hence, an order from the Public Prosecutor for systematic observation or intelligence is required. Moreover, the tools used must meet the non-manipulability and auditing requirements of the Dutch Decree on Technical Devices in Criminal Procedure.

Human smuggling and exploitation

Human trafficking means exploitation; human smuggling is associated with illegal labour and a connection with exploitation is absent. Where a victim of human trafficking can appeal for legal protection, a smuggled migrant (illegally residing or with vulnerable legal status) overall has little rights because of the formal absence of the aspects of exploitation and coercion in human smuggling. In this article, the empirical analysis based on file analysis demonstrates that in several files of cases framed as human smuggling indications are found for exploitation of migrants, although this has not been recognised as such. Theoretically the authors tie this to the trend of crimmigration. Measures designed to combat human trafficking and smuggling are often concentrated on (criminal) law enforcement and criminal punishment, to the detriment of a human rights-based approach. The tension between immigration policy and the combat against human trafficking deserves more attention.

Dissatisfaction instead of fear: results of a Q-study into the public perception of antisocial behavior

People vary in their perceptions and opinions, and that seems to be the case for the way they perceive anti-social behavior too. Scientific literature concerning the fear of crime hypothesizes diversity in the public’s perception of anti-social behavior and crime. But this fear of crime research tradition has been criticized repeatedly for its conceptual and methodological arrears. The focus has particularly been narrowed to ‘fear’ of ‘crime’, being measured by surveys. So, it is not very surprising that there has not been a thorough empirical focus on the assumed diversity in the perception of crime and anti-social behavior. To fill in this gap, the main research question in this article is: which differences in the perception of anti-social behavior exist within contemporary Dutch society? Using Q-methodology, five different factors were found in the perception of anti-social behavior. These factors have been labeled respectively: ‘disaffected residents’, ‘untroubled liberals’, ‘anxious communitarians’, ‘concerned spectators’ and ‘non-averse professionals’. These factors showed the empirical reality of the assumed diversity in the public perception of anti-social behavior. In all of these factors, people seem to address crime and anti-social behavior to a decrease of social standards and values in Dutch society, instead of worrying about chances and consequences of personal victimization. This was even the case for people who signalized crime and anti-social behavior in their own neighborhood. What really stands out is that people strongly agreed about the unacceptability of crime and anti-social behavior. People seem to have an aversion against these rude types of behavior. Altogether this image does not comply to the mainstream image of a ‘crime fearing society’. People do not seem to fear crime, but they seem to be worried and agitated about the moral conditions of the Dutch society in a wider framework. This might be a more reassuring illustration than a ‘crime fearing society’, but this proposition needs further and additional quantitative assessment.

Physical aspects of firefighting in relation to health, fitness and deployability of firefighters

Based on state-of-the-art scientific knowledge, this article reviews the physical aspects of firefighting in relation to physical safety. Firefighting is known to be one of the most demanding occupations. Based on the ‘Occupational Demands Model’ the (physical) strain of firefighting is described. The physical demands of firefighting are determined by a combination of firefighting-specific efforts, the use of personal protective equipment and enviromental and climatological conditions. The effects on the firefighter depend on his/her health and fitness status as well as on his/her hydration and nutrition status and influences the repressive job performance. If the demands and the effects are not in balance, personal safety, health and effectivity of the firefighter’s deployment are in jeopardy and hence his/her physical safety. In the second part of the paper, the relationship between the physical demands of firefighting and health, fitness and deployability of firefighters are described. Finally, a method of maintaining deployability prior to, during and post firefighting activities or training through active recovery is described to improve the preparedness of the individual firefighter.

Incapacitation: a debatable trend in crime control

This article attempts to interpret and critically discuss the concept of incapacitation as a motive in the response to crime. Research shows that incapacitation – disabling or hindering people to commit offences – increasingly presents an important motive in the response to crime. This tendency is explored by several researchers in a new book titled Incapacitation: Trends and New Perspectives (Ashgate 2012). This tendency presents itself by the expansion of various modes of and grounds for detention, but also in the increase of other kinds of incapacitative measures, as well as in the fact that also administrative measures outside criminal law increasingly contain incapacitative elements. This tendency towards incapacitation of possible (re-)offenders can also be witnessed in contemporary politics. Examples discussed here are the intensive application of preventive custody, disqualifications, restraining orders accompanied by electronic monitoring, as well as administrative measures aimed at refusing certificates of good conduct or permits for specific commercial activities. It is argued that incapacitation often is not a proportionate and effective approach against crime. It appears to obscure the perspective on possibly more effective attempts to secure future behavior.

Restorative Justice in Flanders

On a yearly basis between 4.000 and 4.500 underage suspects in Flanders accept the offer of Restorative Justice. A many cited definition of Restorative Justice has been developed by Lode Walgrave: ‘Restorative Justice is every action that is primarily oriented toward doing justice by repairing the harm that has been caused by the crime’.

Commissioned by the Flemish Minister of Welfare, Public Health and Family an evaluation of Restorative Justice for minors was conducted by Bureau Beke. In the article the authors reflect on Restorative Justice in Flanders and describe the most important findings of their research. The process of Restorative Justice, the satisfaction of the parties involved and its results are considered. The authors offer organizations several suggestions related to developing established procedures and practices. Furthermore results show that suspects and victims are satisfied with Restorative Justice, which yields several benefits for the parties involved: Reparation for victims and learning effects and reduced contacts with counseling agencies for suspects. An important overall conclusion is that face-to-face contact between victim and suspects is beneficial for the mediation process and subsequently repairing the harm.

Citizens for/against citizens: citizen watches in The Netherlands and their connections with residents, police and municipality

During the last decade the phenomenon of citizen watches has become a common and meaningful element in citizen participation that aims to improve local public safety. Citizen watches make a great case for examining the tension between the need for the Dutch government to maintain control over local safety issues and the strivings of citizens to contribute to local solutions in a more or less autonomous way. This paper examines the question to what extent citizen watches can contribute to the governance of local safety in a meaningful way. The Dutch government has been appealing strongly for more citizen involvement in public matters for some time, but is unclear about how municipalities and the police should respond to active citizens. The paper describes two different ways in which citizens can realize such an involvement i.e. either in a predominantly top-down fashion, in which the municipality and the police take a strongly directive approach towards citizen watches or in a more bottom-up oriented way, in which citizen watches are well embedded in local systems of informal social control. The paper argues and explains that both approaches have advantages as well as disadvantages regarding the way they support new forms of governance and cooperation between citizens and the state. It suggests that formal authorities can contribute to the self-reliance and collective efficacy of neighbourhood residents with regard to local public safety if they make a better effort of combining the pros of both approaches.
Análisis sobre la Desigualdad en el Consumo Per Cápita de Electricidad en América Latina: Una Perspectiva de Descomposición
Authors: Lei Yang , Gao Yuchen , Estrader Joaquín
Published: February 2025

Desde el siglo XXI, el consumo de electricidad en América Latina ha aumentado 1,66 veces. Aunque se han analizado desigualdades en diferentes países, es crucial estudiar el consumo per cápita considerando las particularidades económicas y culturales de la región. Este estudio, basado en datos de 2000 a 2021, emplea el Índice de Theil y el Índice Divisia de Media Logarítmica (LMDI) para descomponer la desigualdad energética desde enfoques estáticos y dinámicos. Se analizan la heterogeneidad entre países de la OCDE, niveles de ingresos y matrices energéticas. Los resultados revelan un crecimiento desigual en el consumo de electricidad en América Latina, con una tendencia decreciente en la desigualdad general. El PIB per cápita, la intensidad del consumo de electricidad y la energía fósil son los principales factores que amplían la desigualdad, mientras que la intensidad de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero es el factor que la disminuye. La desigualdad en el consumo de electricidad per cápita según los grupos de la OCDE y los grupos de ingresos muestra una heterogeneidad significativa.

Introdução: O Tumor Misto Estromal e Epitelial (TMEE) da vesícula seminal, é uma doença incomum. Também é chamado de tumor phyllodes, cistomioma, hamartoma mesonéfrico e cistoadenoma papilar. A primeira descrição de TMEE comprometendo a vesícula seminal (VS) data de 1944 e desde então, na língua inglesa, apenas outros 22 casos foram descritos em todo o mundo. Por serem extremamente raros na VS, sugere-se que mesmo após a confirmação patológica, haja investigação quanto a presença de outros tumores em estruturas adjacentes ao órgão, como próstata, cólon e reto, além de doenças linfoproliferativas. Não possui fisiopatologia conhecida ou sintomas específicos, sendo diagnóstico de exclusão de outras doenças que comprometem a vesícula seminal.
Apresentação do caso: Neste artigo, apresentamos um paciente com TMEE, diagnosticado em serviço externo e mantido em vigilância clínica.
Conclusão: Apresentou crescimento tardio da massa tumoral, evoluindo com sintomas compressivos e tornando desafiadora a sua abordagem cirúrgica.

Introdução: 
A evolução técnica e da instrumentação cirúrgica no tratamento de cálculos renais permitiu redução de complicações cirúrgicas e melhores resultados.  O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o impacto da cirurgia renal endoscópica combinada (Endoscopic Intrarenal Surgery – ECIRS) nas taxas de sucesso e complicações após o tratamento de cálculos renais.
Métodos: 
Série prospectiva de 35 pacientes consecutivos submetidos à cirurgia renal endoscópica combinada para tratamento de cálculos renais entre maio de 2020 e abril de 2023. Foram coletados dados demográficos (Idade, sexo, ASA, presença de infecção urinária, características do cálculo pelo Guys Stone Score) e dados pós-operatórios (taxas de sucesso e de complicações). Foi considerado sucesso a ausência de cálculos na tomografia realizada no nonagésimo pós-operatório, e as complicações foram avaliadas pela Classificação Clavien-Dindo.
Resultados: 
Dentre os pacientes incluídos, 54,3% tinham cálculos renais complexos (Guys 3 e 4). A taxa de pacientes livres de cálculos com um único procedimento foi de 88,6%. A taxa de complicações total foi de 31,4%, sendo 8,6% complicações maiores (Clavien 3 ou 4)
Conclusão: 
A ECIRS nesta casuística apresentou altas taxas de sucesso e baixas taxas de complicação quando comparada aos resultados da cirurgia percutânea tradicional

Introduction: This study aims to demonstrate the proportion of partial and total nephrectomy based on preoperative staging of the R.E.N.A.L score in a 7-year from a single institution. 
Materials and methods:  Cohort study, the nephrometry score were available in 56 patients in our retrospective renal mass surgical database from 2017 to 2023. The R.E.N.A.L. score was analyzed both in its sum and its individual component scores according to the treatment approach.
Results: 56 medical records were included, according to graduation R.E.N.A.L. 14.3%, 53.6% and 32.1% were of low, moderate and high complexity, respectively. 53.6% were treated with partial nephrectomy. About 71% of the masses were clear cell carcinomas. The “R” and “L” components proved to be greater predictors of radical conduct as well as the higher the sum of this score (p<0.05). The mean R.E.N.A.L. score of the group treated with partial and total nephrectomies were: 7.40 ± 1.43 and 9.54 ± 1.39 (p<0.05). Those undergoing partial nephrectomy showed margin compromise in 37.5% of low complexities and 42% of moderate complexity. 
Conclusion: In this study, in cases of moderate complexity, individual assessment proved to be essential, so that it was possible to perform partial nephrectomy in almost half of the cases, with a very slight increase in margin compromise in relation to low complexity tumors, from 37.5% to 42%. The R.E.N.A.L score alone did not prove to be a superior tool in deciding on surgical procedures in relation to individual analysis based on the surgeon's experience.

Ao exame, presença de necrose em prepúcio e inúmeras larvas (aproximadamente 80 larvas). Foi submetido a desbridamento, retirada dos parasitas e postectomia.
Conclusão: O acometimento de inúmeras larvas nesse caso demonstra a íntima relação dessa patologia com a má higiene e demora para procurar atendimento médico. Até o momento, este é um dos relatos de caso com o maior número de larvas acometendo a região urogenital já descrito.
Os precedentes vinculantes no Brasil e o acesso à justiça
Authors: Junior José Vilton de Jesus , Neto Ubirajara Coelho
Published: February 2025

Este trabalho pretende analisar os efeitos da introdução de precedentes vinculantes em um sistema sobrecarregado e qual sua correlação com o acesso à justiça. No primeiro capítulo faz-se um panorama da quantidade de processo, custo orçamentário e tempo de tramitação dos processos judiciais no Brasil, com base em dados coletados pelo CNJ. Analise-se, no segundo capítulo, o acesso à justiça no Brasil e as concausas da cifra astronômica do atual acervo processual. No capítulo seguinte, aborda do uso dos precedentes judiciais obrigatórios como mecanismos de redução de processos, em um sistema sobrecarregado como o nosso.  No quarto capítulo, traz ao debate o questionamento da própria criação e modo de funcionamento dos julgamentos vinculantes. Em seguida, tem-se a análise da hipótese: se o sistema de precedentes obrigatórios no Brasil facilita (ou não) o acesso à justiça. E, por fim, conclui-se, sem a pretensão de exaurir o tema, que o sistema de precedentes vinculantes, numa performance judiciária sob a ótica prioritariamente quantitativa, dificulta o acesso à justiça, na medida em que incute uma lógica de resultados, de julgamentos em massa de recursos repetitivos, pelo propósito único e obsessivo de redução da crise numérica de processos.

O objetivo é realizar uma revisão crítica da formação de professores, analisando as políticas públicas e as contribuições acadêmicas sobre o tema. Para alcançar esse objetivo, foi adotada uma metodologia de revisão de literatura, com análise de artigos publicados entre 2018 e 2023, além de análise documental. Os resultados indicam que a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB), o Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE), as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCNs) e a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) são as principais políticas públicas que moldam a formação docente. Esses documentos foram comentados a partir de produções recentes de pesquisadores. As conclusões apontam que a formulação dessas políticas adota uma lógica neoliberal, impactando a formação de professores e alunos ao privilegiar uma abordagem tecnicista, sem a devida reflexão crítica e responsabilidade social. No entanto, também existem movimentos que buscam contrariar essa lógica, defendendo uma prática pedagógica mais humanizadora e democrática.

O estudo avaliou conhecimento e autoeficácia em cuidados paliativos (CP) entre estudantes de medicina e enfermagem de uma universidade pública em Montes Claros (MG). Trata-se de uma pesquisa transversal e quantitativa que utilizou um questionário sociodemográfico e o Bonn Palliative Care Knowledge Test (BPW). Dados foram analisados de forma descritiva e por regressão logística binária para aferir fatores associados ao maior índice de conhecimento em CP. Dos participantes, 57,6% apresentaram conhecimento igual ou acima da média, sendo a maioria estudantes de medicina (80%). Acadêmicos de enfermagem demonstraram maior autoeficácia em cuidados integrais e comunicação, enquanto os de medicina destacaram-se em aspectos técnicos. Estudantes de medicina (RC=2,754) e do último biênio (RC=7,021) apresentaram significativamente maior chance de alcançar pontuação acima da média (p<0,05). 82,7% relataram insuficiência de informações sobre o tema. Os achados reforçam a necessidade de aprimorar os currículos da saúde para incluir CP, visando uma formação interdisciplinar e humanizada.
Sensorial fashion: a clothing collection for women with visual impairments
Authors: Dias Isabelle Telles Proença Cipriano , Natal Georgia Miroslau Galli
Published: February 2025

This study aims to develop a sensory clothing collection specifically designed for women with visual impairments, addressing the difficulty these women face in identifying colors. The project emerged from the realization that this audience has limitations in clothing choices due to difficulties in distinguishing colors, which impacts their autonomy in fashion. To achieve this, research is conducted on visual impairment, an analysis of the challenges faced in the fashion market, an investigation of existing options for this audience, and a study of color psychology. Additionally, a questionnaire is applied, and a table of sensations is developed, associating the perception of colors, according to color psychology, with different textures, sensations, and feelings, allowing users to perceive colors through touch. Inspired by “Ensaio sobre a Cegueira” (1995), by José Saramago, the focus is also on creating ergonomic and comfortable models, promoting well-being, quality of life, and self-esteem for users.

O artigo trata dos catadores de materiais recicláveis na Usina de Tratamento Mecânico e Biológico do Serviço de Limpeza Urbana (SLU) localizada no P.sul. A pesquisa busca estudar o processo de mobilização entre essas pessoas na medida que estão em vulnerabilidade e compõem certo grupo social com as mesmas dificuldades e necessidades. Alguns conceitos do campo de estudos dos movimentos sociais serão trazidos como o de mobilização social, redes, dentre outros. É importante entender como grupos sociais se mobilizam até para que os direitos sociais fundamentais sejam respeitados. Assim, a carta magna busca uma sociedade democrática e inclusiva e o estudo dos movimentos sociais tem importância para se atingir o que é definido na implementação do Estado Democrático de Direito. Portanto, os catadores estão inseridos no sistema político do Governo do Distrito Federal e o estudo de suas necessidades e processo de mobilização dentro da usina de compostagem sediada no P.sul serve para entender a relação da sociedade com as perspectivas ambientais e do próprio grupo social em análise. O viés metodológico será estudado com o auxílio da Teoria Ator- Rede do campo de estudos de políticas públicas e em que medida a construção de redes apoia esse processo de mobilização dos catadores de materiais recicláveis da Usina do P.sul. A observação das redes já existentes antes da associação dos catadores também serão analisadas para avaliar o processo de mobilização.

A Tetralogia de Fallot (TF) é uma cardiopatia congênita complexa que frequentemente requer intervenções precoces para evitar complicações graves. A estenose da via de saída do ventrículo direito (VSVD) é uma das principais características dessa condição e pode exigir tratamentos paliativos antes da cirurgia definitiva. O uso de stents na VSVD tem se mostrado uma estratégia promissora para o alívio imediato da obstrução e melhoria da oxigenação nos pacientes, especialmente em casos com alta gravidade e risco cirúrgico. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficácia e segurança da implantação de stents na VSVD como uma intervenção paliativa em recém-nascidos e lactentes com TF. A metodologia incluiu uma revisão de literatura de estudos publicados entre 2015 e 2021, com análise dos resultados de intervenções utilizando stents. A pesquisa indicou que, em muitos casos, a implantação de stents oferece uma solução temporária eficaz, permitindo o adiamento de cirurgias mais invasivas e melhorando o controle hemodinâmico no curto prazo. Embora existam desafios como a reestenose, os benefícios a curto prazo são evidentes. Conclui-se que o uso de stents na VSVD representa uma abordagem eficaz no manejo inicial de pacientes com TF, proporcionando uma melhora substancial na qualidade de vida.

Published: February 2025

Flow boiling has numerous applications in many daily life and industrial fields due to its high heat transfer efficiency. By using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) with the pseudopotential model, coupled with the finite difference method to solve the temperature field, the flow boiling process of water in a 2D horizontal channel with complex configurations is simulated. The study investigates the impact of different factors such as wall configurations and fluid velocity on the flow and heat transfer processes. The results show that the more cavities and finer pillars in the wall structure, the higher the heat transfer efficiency. Increasing the flow velocity effectively promotes bubble detachment and enhances heat transfer efficiency. This study provides insights for channels configuration designs.
