FEATURES OF COOPERATION OF DOMESTIC BUSINESS WITH TNCS
Authors: Busarieva Tetiana
Published: August 2021

At the beginning of the XXI century it can be argued that the formation of Ukrainian corporations can become one of the strategic priorities of public policy, which, provided the appropriate external environment, will increase the competitiveness of the economy and through the exclusive capabilities of national corporations development of Ukrainian economic structures, internationalization of their production and capital, integration of Ukraine into the world economy, its participation in global transformation processes. Promoting the generation of knowledge resources in Ukraine is determined mainly by increasing the competitiveness of both individual regions and the state as a whole. At the same time, the region’s ability to produce knowledge, in particular scientific knowledge, implement it and use it effectively to achieve effective socio-economic development are now becoming the main factors ensuring positive dynamics of economic development of regions along with traditional sources – investment and human labor. And Ukraine is no exception, as in terms of analysis of the preconditions for the formation of the knowledge economy in Ukraine, it can be argued that the modern domestic economy is in a new qualitative state, which is associated with changing economic conditions due to introduction of new, high technology in production, expansion of information space, mobility of capital, increasing the role of creativity, creative work, increasing the role of theoretical knowledge. As a result, one of the primary challenges facing the companies of the independent sovereign state of Ukraine at the beginning of the transition period was to restore the supply chain and find new markets in order to use excess production capacity. The emergence and nature of the activities of corporations in the Ukrainian market are influenced primarily by the volume of the domestic market; adequate structure of “free” labor (the region has significant resources of both qualified personnel and cheap labor needed to organize mass production; traditionally close economic ties between the countries).
FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY: APPROACHES TO EVALUATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF DIGITALIZATION

Published: August 2021

The article examines the indicators of financial security of Ukraine and the position of the state in international rankings compiled by international organizations. Some international rankings are considered in detail and the corresponding conclusions concerning financial safety of Ukraine are made. The impact of assessments of international organizations on the financial stability and security of the country is analyzed, namely indicators of fiscal (tax) burden, fiscal health, monetary freedom, financial freedom, are indicators that can be used for financial security at the macro level. An assessment of the Competitiveness Index of Ukraine and the Global Financial Index is provided; this facilitates the assessment of the level of financial inclusion of the country. It is concluded that Ukraine’s rating is extremely low, the state of financial security of the national economy is on the border between satisfactory and critical values, there is an unsatisfactory state in the assessment of the banking system as a whole. The article provides the assessment of financial security that is carried out by an external investor or lender who does not have deep knowledge about the peculiarities of the functioning and development of the financial system of Ukraine, but makes decisions based on international ratings of national economies, which is negative for further financial decisions. Almost half of the adult population of the state remains outside the financial system and does not use financial products and services, does not pursue its own financial interests and does not invest in the assets of the financial sector, which is in dire need of investment. It is also possible to note the significant lag in the level of financial inclusion in Ukraine, which, in turn, contributes to the spread of shadow schemes in the economy, capital outflows, shortfalls in budget revenues, and ultimately reduce the financial security of our country. Therefore, at the state level, urgent measures should be taken to increase the rating positions of Ukraine through a qualitative transformation of the domestic financial system in the direction of increasing the level of financial security of the state.

Published: August 2021

The tourism industry is an industry with a high level of competition. An enterprise that operates in the tourism sector needs to ensure a stable competitive advantage. Such a competitive advantage can be the human capital of the company. The article proposes a reproduction model of the human capital of a tourist enterprise from the point of view of the motivational mechanism. The model includes the following structural elements: the first is the production of human capital as a stock of social needs; the second is the accumulation of human capital as a stock of individual needs and abilities; the third is the use of human capital as a stock of abilities and the formation of needs for further investment; the fourth is the presence or absence of an individual effect from the use of human capital; the fifth is the new investment of human capital as the accumulation of a stock of abilities for further reproduction or the lack of motivation for a new investment in human capital.
An examination of the post-discharge recovery experience of patients who have had heart surgery.
Authors: Fredericks Suzanne , DaSilva Monica
Published: August 2021

Background: Although resources to promote recovery following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) and Valve Replacement (VR) surgery are provided, over a quarter of all patients are being readmitted to hospitals with post-operative complications experienced during the first 3 months of recovery. A possible reason for the high rate of readmission following heart surgery is the quality of patient engagement in the performance of self-care behaviours. In particular, patients who have had CABG and/or VR may not be fully engaged in the required self-care behaviours during their first 3 months of recovery. Research Question: This review was conducted to address the clinically relevant question: What is the post-operative recovery experience of the individual who has had CABG and/or VR?.
Methods: A review of studies that examined the post-operative recovery experience of patients who had CABG and/or VR was conducted. Results: Findings suggest the type of post-operative complication identified during the first 3 months of recovery following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) and Valve Replacement (VR) was either cognitive or cardiac in nature. As well, the number of self-care behaviours patients engage in during their hospital discharge was slightly less than the number of behaviours patients performed while in hospital.

Conclusion and Relevance to Clinical Practice: As close to half of the sample reported some form of cognitive impairment within the first 3 months following surgery, it is possible that this impairment may have influenced the type and number of self-care behaviours performed. Therefore, further research is needed to determine the best time to educate patients during their recovery following hospital discharge.

A medium to facilitate the exchange of value has been the sole necessity for the mere existence of currency. As the civilization moved from using metals, paper, and plastic to facilitate exchange, our requirements from a currency became refined. Some of those requirements were the prevention of counterfeiting and accountability. As the human civilization moves forward, the solution to some of the problems faced by us are discovered by humans. Cryptocurrency is a decentralized form of currency mined by computers by solving complex equations in exchange for a reward of the very same commodity. This article aims to study the major cryptocurrencies and the concept of blockchain, how they operate, how it will be affecting India, and what are the consequences of banning this form of currency. This research is carried out by evaluating white papers of Bitcoin and Ethereum (the two main cryptocurrencies of present time) along with research papers and news articles found with the help of search engines and online discussion threads.

Published: August 2021

O mercado de trabalho vem apresentando transformações persistentes ao longo das décadas. No Brasil essa transformação, principalmente com a revolução eletrônica, se intensificou a partir da abertura comercial e financeira do início dos anos 1990. Além do mais, a inserção da mulher na procura de vagas de emprego cresceu nas últimas duas décadas. Porém, mesmo apresentando características semelhantes aos homens, as mulheres recebem salários menores. Outra questão para as mulheres é a maternidade, a legislação na maior parte dos países, inclusive a brasileira, no momento da entrevista de emprego perguntar sobre os planos de engravidar é proibido, porém na prática isso não acontece e as mulheres acabam perdendo oportunidades de emprego. Já a realidade demonstra que as mulheres que apresentam filhos menores têm dificuldades em encontrar empregos e seus salários podem ser menores. Assim, esse estudo procura obter respostas empíricas sobre a questão dos salários das mulheres. O objetivo central é, através de um modelo econométrico com base em Mincer (1974), testar os instrumentos de educação dos pais, background familiar, desemprego, horas de trabalho entre outras, em uma regressão do tipo Two-Stage least squares (2SLS) que visa analisar a estrutura das equações e melhorar os preditores. Os resultados apontaram que as mulheres com filhos menores de 6 anos recebem entre 58% a 85%, dependendo da especificação, menores salários do que as mulheres que não tem filhos pequenos.

Published: August 2021

Sabe-se que as tecnologias estão cada vez mais inseridas na vida do homem. Por essa razão, a comercialização de alimentos também adentrou na esfera on-line. Para isso, a Agência de Desenvolvimento do Médio Alto Uruguai (ADMAU) e a Universidade Federal de Santa Maria - Campus Frederico Westphalen (UFSM-FW), desenvolveram um sistema com essa finalidade. Assim, o trabalho objetivou identificar alguns aspectos pelos quais as agroindústrias do município de Frederico Westphalen, localizado ao norte do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, na região do Médio Alto Uruguai, não fazem uso da plataforma Alimento de Origem para comercialização de alimentos. Para isso foi realizada a Análise Swot (matriz), com os idealizadores desta plataforma e também com um representante da Cooperativa dos Produtores Rurais da Agricultura Familiar de Frederico Westphalen (Coopraff). Ainda, se fez uso de fontes secundárias de pesquisa para obtenção de dados complementares. Observou-se que, num contexto geral, a plataforma é uma ferramenta digital constituída de diversos serviços, elaborada para atender as demandas impostas pela legislação vigente, referente aos produtos de origem vegetal, animal e agroindustrializados. Restou evidente as potencialidades positivas na adesão à plataforma, visto que indicaram a facilidade de compra, a baixa dos preços, bem como a reunião de inúmeras cooperativas como forças da Alimento de Origem. Pode-se verificar que a Plataforma é uma solução para comercialização da produção oriunda da agricultura familiar e agroindústrias familiares para a região e se classifica como oportunidade de fácil acesso na aquisição de alimentos saudáveis aos consumidores. Todavia, em determinadas regiões do estado, ainda não houve a adesão esperada aos serviços, fato que se justifica pelas fraquezas apontadas nessa pesquisa, sendo questões passíveis de ajuste por parte dos desenvolvedores.

Вступ. Вантажопотоки в усьому світі значно виросли останнім часом. Зрос- ли не тільки кількість та об’єм вантажів, виникло також і багато нових ван- тажопотоків. Це зумовлює більшу, ніж до того, вірогідність виникнення збоїв або затримок у процесі перевезення. Будь-яка затримка може привести до пору- шення графіків роботи портів, графіків постачання вантажів та збоїв в інших логістичних ланцюжках. Мета. У цій статті аналізуються деякі наявні системи автоматизації транспортного процесу, розроблені з метою оптимізації робо- ти суден як на лініях, так і у трамповому режимі. Крім того, розглядаються системи автоматизації роботи портів, що використовують комп’ютерні про- гнози розвитку ситуації. Мета статті – сформулювати концепцію розробки сучасного рішення проблем автоматизації та можливих збоїв у рамках взаємодії судно-порт-вантаж із залученням методів оцінки ризиків. Результати. На осно- ві проведеного аналізу можна припустити, що наявні системи автоматизації не задовольняють сучасні вимоги, особливо щодо прорахунку можливих негараздів, що можуть виникнути під час транспортування вантажу. Використання мож- ливостей сучасних обчислювальних систем, зокрема систем із використанням штучного інтелекту, дасть поштовх розвитку усієї транспортної ланки, осо- бливо якщо прогнозувати розвиток ситуації, не тільки базуючись на аналізі мину- лих подібних ситуацій, але й із застосуванням методик оцінки ризиків. Висновки. У цій статті ми показуємо, що, на наш погляд, найбільш перспективним напря- мом розвитку автоматизації транспортного процесу є застосування елементів штучного інтелекту з широким використанням методик оцінки ризиків на всіх напрямах взаємодії у трикутнику судно-порт-вантаж. Тобто реалізація окремих проєктів не дасть істотного якісного покращення роботи усього транспорт- ного комплексу, для досягнення стабільної мети потрібна взаємодія усіх стейк- холдерів, у тому числі на рівні взаємодії програмного забезпечення, або розробка єдиного програмного забезпечення, що забезпечить якісними даними усіх корис- тувачів.
Cyclodextrins as Dominant Chiral Selective Agents in the Capillary Separation Techniques
Authors: Juvancz Zoltán , Bodáné-Kendrovics Rita , Szente Lajos , Maklári Dóra
Published: August 2021

This review paper shows the dominant role of the cyclodextrins in the chiral separations using capillary columns (GC, SFC, CE). The cyclodextrins (CDs) have extremely broad chiral selectivity spectra because they have several different chiral recognition sites in various arrangements and various interaction modes. Their chiral selectivity features can further improve with their various substitutions. Their selectivities are moderate therefore they need high efficiency separations (capillary columns) for good chiral resolutions. The shape selectivity of cyclodextrins is also shown with non-chiral isomers too. The utility of the cyclodextrins is demonstrated with several examples based on the personal observations of authors and critical review of literature. The theoretical backgrounds of their chiral recognitions (e.g. H-bond interaction, inclusion, induced fit) are discussed in depth. This paper is not application oriented but is dealing with mostly on the physical and chemical background of separations using CDs.

Published: August 2021

Objective: Spinal manipulation has been used to improve respiratory function in healthy individuals. However, it has been observed that there are no studies in the context of sports activities. The objective of this study was to analyse the effect of thoracic spinal manipulation on forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second and maximal voluntary ventilation in swimmers.

Method: A randomized controlled crossover study consisting of 21 swimmers, divided into two groups (Intervention vs Control), aged 16 – 24y, where forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second and maximal voluntary ventilation were measured in five evaluation moments: at baseline and, 1 minute, 10 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes following the thoracic spinal manipulation procedures.

Results: ANOVA tests showed no statistically significant differences for forced vital capacity (p = 0.35) and forced expiratory volume in one second (p = 0.25) among the five evaluation moments. With the maximal voluntary ventilation there was a statistically significant (p = 0.02) reduction, observed between baseline (86.00 litres) and at 10 minutes (79.29 litres) and 30 minutes (76.24 litres). No significant differences were observed between the results of intervention and control groups.

Conclusions: In the current study no significant differences were observed in pulmonary function after thoracic spinal manipulation. Future research efforts should examine the effects of different manual therapy techniques and treatment protocols.

THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION OF THE 17TH CENTURY. THE ASPECTS CONNECTED TO PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY: AN EDUCATIONAL ITINERARY IN SEVEN LESSONS
Authors: Bussotti Paolo
Published: August 2021

In the period 2012-2013 I got the qualification (abilitazione) to teach history and philosophy in the Italian high schools. The course I followed was called TFA (Tirocinio Formativo Attivo, Active Formative Training). The final examination was constituted by various proofs. Two of them were the written presentations of one educational itinerary in history and one in philosophy. Both of them had to be structured in a series of interconnected lessons. In this editorial I will expose, with some minor modifications, the translation of the educational itinerary I prepared for philosophy. It concerns the scientific revolution of the 17th century. The interest of this itinerary is not limited to the schools in which philosophy is taught, but it can also provide ideas useful in a course of physics at the high school or of history and philosophy of science at the university. What follows is divided into two parts: 1) a general presentation of the aims and methods followed in the lessons; 2) the lessons of the educational itinerary. In my training in philosophy – developed in September and October 2013 in an Italian scientific high school – I presented the following lessons concerning the scientific revolution.
STUDENTS’ CONFIDENCE IN THEIR FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ABILITIES: THE ROLE OF SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS AND EDUCATION
Authors: Lovšin Kozina Francka , Ponikvar Nina
Published: August 2021

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of gender, age, parent’s education, scholarship and students’ education on students’ confidence in their financial management capability and knowledge. In the research, 259 students participated from two different faculties – the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Economics. This investigation has revealed that the likelihood of students’ confidence in their financial management capability and knowledge is significantly smaller for students who do not specialize in economics or business studies, and for female students. The likelihood of confidence in their financial management capability and knowledge also statistically significantly increases with the father’s educational level, but, interestingly, not with the mother’s. The results also showed, although it is not statistically significant, that students on scholarships on average express a higher confidence in their financial management capability and knowledge. Therefore, the adequacy of the current educational policy (formal and non-formal education) should be considered. Key words: confidence, education, financial literacy, money management, perception.
THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE TRADITIONAL BELIEFS AND PRACTICE OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS AND THEIR STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENTS IN DOING MATHEMATICS TASKS
Authors: Šapkova Aļesja
Published: August 2021

The importance of teachers’ beliefs for students’ learning is highlighted from different sources showing that teachers’ beliefs affect their teaching approach that, in turn, affects students’ achievement. The studies of mathematics teachers’ beliefs in Latvia brought out a contradiction between teachers’ constructivist beliefs on teaching and learning and their traditional routine work while revealing match between some traditional beliefs on teaching and learning and traditionally-oriented instructional practice. The aim of the present study is to explore the possible relationships between the traditional beliefs and practice of mathematics teachers and their students’ achievement in mathematics. For this purpose the Latvian data from two international research projects was analyzed: Singapore National Education Institute project “Non-cognitive skills and Singapore learners – international comparison” and project “Nordic-Baltic comparative research in mathematics education” (NorBa). The sample included 190 mathematics teachers and their 2828 students from grade 9 representing different regions of Latvia, schools with different programs of education, rural areas and cities. The results suggest that the traditional beliefs of teachers are connected with lower students’ achievement in mathematics test, while teachers’ traditionally oriented self-reported practice is positively related to the achievement of their students. The research will discuss the reasons for the outcomes of this study that may refer to a certain extent to other European countries in the sphere of mathematics education that are currently trying to introduce reforms in their systems of education, as well as countries where students demonstrated lower achievements than OECD average in the mathematics test of PISA 2009. Key words: reported practice, students’ achievement, teachers’ espoused beliefs, teaching of mathematics.
THE ACHIEVEMENT GOAL THEORY AS AN APPROACH TO STUDY SCHOOL PRINCIPALS’ LEADERSHIP MOTIVATION
Authors: Brandmo Christian , Tiplic Dijana , Elstad Eyvind
Published: August 2021

This study investigates how the achievement goal theory and its measures can be utilized to understand the school principals’ achievement goals for leading. The achievement goal theory is an analytical tool little used when studying educational management. This explorative study aims at developing a measure of principals’ achievement goals for leading, by using a factor analysis of the scores of 270 Norwegian principals. The analysis shows a clear distinction between principals’ mastery and performance goals for leading. Mastery goals for leading were positively correlated with constructs such as principals’ efficacy beliefs for leading, autonomy and teacher-principal trust, while performance goals were weaker or not significantly correlated with these constructs. The study suggests that the context and organizational factors are influencing principals’ purposes of achievement behaviour. Given the increasing emphasis on the accountability of school leaders, the current study suggests the achievement goal theory as a fruitful approach when studying educational leadership.
Key words: accountability, achievement goals, educational leadership, school leaders’ motivation.

THE RELATION BETWEEN FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE AND ECONOMIC DECISIONS
Authors: Kołodziej Sabina
Published: August 2021

Nowadays policymakers, government agencies and educators in Poland and in many European countries emphasize the role of individual possibilities to take independent decisions regarding one’s financial resources. Consequently, the increased interest in financial education programs is observed. Moreover, the complexity of financial products further demonstrates the need for a financial knowledge when making decisions in this sphere. However, simultaneously, the common observation of numerous examples of irrelevant decision-making, consequently leading to financial (e.g. abundant debt) or professional (e.g. loss of work) problems as well as results of studies on the level of financial knowledge show that in many cases our society, most probably, does not have the indispensable level of analyzed knowledge. The article presents results of 2 studies on the relation between financial knowledge and economic decisions made by Polish young adults. The study 1 focuses on the correlation between financial knowledge and saving decisions while the study 2 financial knowledge and respondents debts. In both studies the level of financial knowledge was measured by the test relating to the current economic situation of Poland, knowledge of basic economic and financial concepts and understanding of basic market mechanisms. Specially designed questionnaires analyzed respondents’ savings (study 1) and debts (study 2) decisions. The results of those studies show that examined a group of Polish young adults has an average level of financial knowledge. Moreover, the first study found positive correlation (on the level of statistical trend) between financial knowledge and savings decisions. The results of study 2 showed the higher financial knowledge among people who took credits or loans from bank in comparison with people who take credit and loans outside the banking system. Results obtained in the studies reinforce the idea of the important role of financial education in preparing young people to make their own economic decisions.

Authors: Volkinsteine Jelena , Namsone Dace , Cakane Liga
Published: August 2021

In 2005 a new chemistry subject standard for basic education was developed in Latvia. It includes a new component, ‘scientific inquiry’. In order to develop students’ inquiry skills, their teachers need to master them first. The purpose of this study was to examine Latvian chemistry teachers' skills to effectively organize student scientific inquiry within their lessons.
From 2009 to 2011, experts from the project ‘Natural Sciences and Mathematics’ observed and analyzed the performance of 18 chemistry teachers at basic schools in 31 lessons. 56 lesson observation and analysis work sheets were analized on the student scientific inquiry.
Chemistry teachers with experience in modernized chemistry contents have better skills to plan the study process towards the results, to apply study methods correctly and organize collaboration among students, to provide efficient feedback, analyze their performance in the lesson and reflect on it.
In order to develop teachers’ skills to organize student scientific inquiry, it is important to focus on teachers’ skills to organize their work during the lesson and to reflect on it. This can be done
through organizing teachers’ learning groups for investigating their professional performance, conferences and experience exchange seminars with lesson observation and analyses.
Key words: chemistry teachers’ skills, lesson observation, scientific inquiry.

Published: August 2021

This study was conducted to understand the macrobenthos distribution and abundance in Sangu River to monitor the aquatic pollution level. Both surface and sub-surface water and benthic sediments were collected from three stations of the Sangu River. A few indices viz. Shannon-wiener, Simpson, Margalef’s and Evenness were used to estimate the macrobenthic assemblages. In this study, a total of 11 major taxa comprising total 870 macobenthic species were identified. Shannon-wiener index was maximum (1.58) at lower part (LP) which indicated moderate to heavily pollute aquatic environment of the Sangu River. The average diversity values of Shannon, Evenness, Simpson and Margalef’s indices were 0.97, 0.43, 0.39 and 1.54 respectively. The concentration of dissolved oxygen was the lowest (4.90 mg/L) at LP and the highest (5.08 mg/L) at upper part (UP). This study showed that macrobenthos abundances was influenced by higher temperature, salinity, and pH. The percentage of organic carbon content was maximum (98.18%) at LP where the macrobenthic abundance was 330 individuals/m2, whereas it was minimum (80.77%) at UP where macrobenthic abundance was 248 individuals/m2 that indicated carbon content also influence the assemblages of the macrobenthos in the Sangu River. A clear gradient of physico-chemical and benthic soil parameters fluctuation was also found to be responsible for the variations of macrobenthos assemblage in the Sangu River.

Published: August 2021

An attempt has been made in this research to delineate a pattern for atmospheric instability during the months of October and November from 2007 to 2018. The results show an alarming trend of increasing instability throughout the study period. The average temperature at 2-meters height around the Bay of Bengal has changed significantly over time. Most notably, the gap between monthly average highest and monthly average lowest temperatures (at 2-meters height) is more or less increasing from 2007 to 2018 – ranging from 3.0 degrees to 11.0 degrees Celsius. Similar tendencies are observed for CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) as well – with the highest value of more than 3000 J/Kg. The findings of this research will help in understanding the prevailing conditions over the Bay, and also enable better preparedness for any potential severe convective activities.

Among unique cardiovascular risk factors in women are complications during pregnancy, including miscarriage. Important risk factor is also genetic background. One of powerful candidate genes for cardiovascular disease of atherosclerotic origin (aCVD) is gene for connexin 37 (Cx37) with strong gene-environment interaction including smoking status, that is also strong risk factor for complications in pregnancy including spontaneous abortion (SA). We analyzed association between SA and Cx37 gene polymorphism (1019C>T; Pro319Ser) in 547 fetuses and its potential interaction with smoking status of mothers. Using genetic analyses from women from general population as controls, ORs for T allele, found in our previous studies to be protective against aCVD, were calculated. T allele carriers (fetuses), had OR 0.91 (95 % CI 0.72-1.14) and no interaction with smoking was observed. In conclusion, no significant association between Cx37 polymorphism and SA was observed and no modifying effect of smoking status on this association was detected.
THE PHENOMENON OF OBVIOUSNESS AND UNCERTAINTY OF AN OBJECTIVE APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING THE CORPUS DELICTI THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE VIEWS OF SCIENTISTS OF THE LATE 19TH - EARLY 21ST CENTURIES

Today, it seems possible to state the presence of dualism within the general doctrine of the corpus delicti. In contrast to the «normative», the representatives of the objectivist approach consider the corpus delicti, along with the crime, as a real phenomenon. Namely, only a system of elements and signs embodied in objective reality can form the composition of a specific crime committed. The presented understanding makes it possible to determine the corpus delicti as the only basis for criminal liability, as well as to build the correlation between the crime and the corpus delicti as one-order categories. However, a detailed study and critical analysis of the works of scientists, representatives of this approach, allow us to point out a number of problems that indicate its theoretical incompleteness, and as a consequence, requiring study and improvement. As a result, the author of the article presents the key points in the evolution of scientific thought about the formation and development of an objectivist approach to understanding the corpus delicti from the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 21st century, allowing you to get a holistic view of its phenomenon, including both obvious and contradictory aspects. Subject of research: norms of the current criminal legislation, which are based on the category of corpus delicti, published scientific works (article, monographs) and educational materials devoted to the general doctrine of the corpus delicti. Purpose: the formation in the science of criminal law of a system understanding of the phenomenon of an objective approach to understanding the corpus delicti, its main provisions and controversial aspects, aimed at overcoming the existing and achieving a unified understanding of the corpus delicti. Conclusion: Since, within the framework of the objectivist approach, the corpus delicti, the elements and features that form its structure, are considered as real phenomena, it becomes possible to structure a specific crime, as well as to establish the basis of criminal liability. However, a number of provisions do not allow to recognize this vision of the corpus delicti as devoid of contradictions.

A arborização viária traz inúmeros benefícios para a qualidade ambiental, portanto devem ser consideradas no planejamento e na gestão da paisagem urbanizada, as características morfológicas e tipológicas de cada espécie em função do seu porte, forma, cor e fatores biológicos. Essas espécies podem estar relacionadas a fatores de ordem funcional, estética, ambiental e sociocultural, sendo fundamental para a qualidade de vida por proporcionar conforto aos habitantes das cidades. Todavia, a ausência de planejamento tem causado problemas, principalmente relacionados à implantação e no manejo da arborização em vias públicas. Diante disso, a pesquisa analisou a distribuição espacial da arborização viária na pequena cidade de Altamira do Paraná. O contributo metodológico foi constituído de levantamento bibliográfico, pesquisa in loco, levantamento qualitativo e aplicação de questionário com questões semiestruturadas. Os resultados indicam ausência de planejamento; falta de manutenção da arborização viária por parte da Prefeitura Municipal; existência de conflito da arborização com a fiação elétrica e com as raízes expostas das árvores nas calçadas; distribuição irregular das espécies as interferências executadas pela prefeitura e pela população foram inadequadas e prejudiciais às árvores. A inserção, a preservação e a manutenção da arborização viária nas cidades passam a ser grandes desafios para os gestores públicos em busca da sustentabilidade urbana.
CIDADES PEQUENAS E TRANSPORTE PÚBLICO REGIONAL EM CONTEXTOS NÃO METROPOLITANOS
Authors: Lemos João Henrique
Published: August 2021

A formação socioespacial brasileira manifesta uma rede urbana simultaneamente concentrada e dispersa, constituída por uma multiplicidade de cidades pequenas, qualitativamente diferenciadas conforme as suas situações geográficas. Nessa realidade nacional, o modal rodoviário tem primazia na estruturação dos transportes no âmbito das redes de cidades. A partir dessas considerações, este trabalho tem o objetivo de compreender as centralidades desempenhadas pelas cidades pequenas por meio das operações do transporte rodoviário de passageiros, meio de transporte público e coletivo que tem grande relevância quando pensamos nos centros urbanos menos complexos do Brasil. Isso é reforçado nos contextos não metropolitanos – plano empírico deste trabalho –, onde a rarefação dos meios de transporte qualifica os serviços regulares de ônibus como o principal elemento das condições de mobilidade e acessibilidade. O trabalho se baseia em revisões bibliográficas, análises de dados quantitativos e a seleção de contextos específicos para situar as discussões. Ao final, concluímos que o transporte rodoviário de passageiros tem grande importância para as cidades pequenas brasileiras, cuja atenção deve ser reforçada sob a égide de uma integração territorial urbano-regional mais justa, ação que deve ser praticada pelo Estado brasileiro.
A EXTENSÃO DO TERRITÓRIO MINERÁRIO EM CIDADES DE PEQUENO PORTE: uma análise sobre os impactos do rompimento da barragem de Fundão em Barra Longa/MG
Authors: Carneiro Laura
Published: August 2021

A influência do setor extrativo mineral sobre as cidades do estado de Minas Gerais avançou consideravelmente nos últimos anos. O desastre-crime do rompimento da barragem de Fundão expande o território dessa influência a partir da instalação da entidade privada Fundação Renova sobre o território atingido. As implicações desse agente ultrapassam questões organizacionais anteriormente praticadas nas cidades, especialmente em cidades de pequeno porte, as quais são maioria na área diretamente atingida pelo rejeito. Desde modo, este artigo, baseado em revisão bibliográfica e trabalho de campo, objetiva refletir sobre os impactos políticos e econômicos que estas cidades vêm enfrentando, como o núcleo urbano da cidade de Barra Longa/MG. Nesse sentido, percebe-se que os impactos referentes ao rompimento, não se expressam somente nos campos socioeconômicos e socioambientais, eles acontecem expressamente no campo do poder, seja ele simbólico ou estrutural. Acrescido a isso, discute-se os movimentos de luta e resistência das pessoas atingidas e de seus aliados na tentativa de romper com as práticas da Fundação Renova. Todas essas questões colocam o desastre-crime como propulsor de um conflito já existente, entre mineração e povos tradicionais, porém, externalizando-o a partir da desterritorialização.
