Os mitos da predominância do interesse e da subsidiariedade
Authors: DOS SANTOS BAPTISTA DIOGO
Published: November 2024

No presente artigo, buscaremos desmistificar algumas conclusões tradicionais da doutrina, como a ideia de predominância do interesse e o “princípio” da subsidiariedade. Antes disso, revisitaremos o conceito de federação para investigar as causas de sua adoção, propondo a existência de três argumentos que explicariam a formatação do modelo federado brasileiro pela Constituição de 1988. Entender “por que” possibilita uma melhor determinação do “como”, que é a repartição de competências entre os entes da federação. Neste sentido, serão abordadas as tradicionais ideias de predominância do interesse e subsidiariedade para, a partir das críticas, tentar extrair a maior eficácia possível da federação para alcançar os fins a que se pretende um Estado contemporâneo.
Construindo uma cultura de integridade e ética: participação de servidores públicos inativos em contratações públicas à luz do §1º do artigo 9º da Lei 14.133/2021
Authors: COPETTI CRAVO DANIELA
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo visa investigar se a participação de servidores públicos inativos em processos de contratação pública está sujeita a restrições éticas e legais, considerando as disposições do artigo 9º da Lei nº 8.666/1993 e do §1º do artigo 9º da Lei 14.133/2021. Dessa forma, o artigo explora a possibilidade de estender essas restrições a ex-servidores que possam ter exercido influência em fases anteriores dos processos de contratação, mesmo após o término do vínculo com o poder público. Além disso, propõe-se uma análise sobre a necessidade de regulamentação adicional, como a implementação de uma "quarentena" para ex-servidores, visando garantir a transparência, lisura e integridade nos procedimentos de contratação pública.

Dans cet article, il est renseigné que la géo-régionalisation des eaux du bassin du fleuve Congo dans le strict respect du simple principe de « l’union fait la force », tente de faire converger les intérêts des Etats de la région comme un cadre d’échanges. Il se dégage de ces analyses, fort malheureusement, qu’en lieu et place de demeurer un cadre d’échanges, ledit bassin du fleuve Congo est devenu un théâtre. On assiste à des rapports de force, par où passent les menaces et les conflits latents entre acteurs des régions africaines souhaitant avoir le contrôle et la gestion des eaux de ce bassin. La rareté de ces eaux sur la planète fait des eaux du bassin du fleuve Congo un enjeu multidimensionnel et stratégique, non seulement, pour la RD. Congo mais également pour toute l’humanité. Cette réflexion débouche sur les perspectives visant à conscientiser et éveiller des acteurs internes et régionaux sur les enjeux géopolitiques et stratégiques de la régionalisation des eaux du bassin fleuve Congo par rapport au positionnement de la RD. Congo et au développement de la région d’Afrique Centrale. Mots-clés : géo-régionalisation, bassin du fleuve Congo, relations internationales.

In this paper, the dispersion relation of magnetoacoustic waves propagating in a thermally active plasma is derived, taking account of thermal conduction, heating, and radiative cooling. The combined effects of geometric dispersion, heating, and cooling lead to a modification of the tube velocity of slow magnetoacoustic waves, which is different from the velocity in an ideal plasma. The short-wave limiting value of the phase velocity of slow waves is the isothermal sound velocity, which is due to the presence of thermal conduction.

To study the morphological features of the sporadic Es layer, we worked with such parameters as the occurrence (PEs) and height (hEs) of the layer based on data obtained at the Irkutsk DPS-4 ionosonde (52.3 N, 104.3 E) in 2003–2021. By averaging over all years, diurnal variations in PEs and hEs were calculated for each month. The paper focuses on the morphological features of semidiurnal variations in occurrence PEs and height hEs over Irkutsk. The following features were revealed: (1) the maximum of occurrence PEs is achieved when the height hEs decreases; and (2) there is an asymmetry in the maximum of occurrence PEs: morning maxima are larger than evening ones. These features are interpreted based on the concept of the optimal height for Es formation and the role of photoionization in the formation of the sporadic layer.

Solving the light scattering problem on atmospheric ice crystals is important for analyzing the results of laser sensing of the atmosphere in various parts of the world, including Tomsk. In this study, we present the results of calculation of backscattering matrices for atmospheric ice crystals of arbitrary shape having 15, 20 and 40 facets and sizes from 10 to 300 microns within the physical optics approximation. Calculations were done for particles with a chaotic spatial orientation with a single scattering of light at wavelengths of 0.532 microns and 1.064 microns. The results show slight differences in the optical properties of the studied particles with different numbers of facets. It has been found out that the optical characteristics of the reference particle from the IOA SB RAS database correspond to the distribution under consideration. Thus, the study confirms the feasibility of using this database to analyze a wide range of particles from 15 to 40 facets.

This paper presents a method for sensor diagnostics of wideband ionospheric HF channels and the outcomes of adaptive equalization by means of radio sensor developed using modern SDR technology. This sensor enables the study of applied problems in ionospheric propagation of wave packets with bandwidths of up to 1 MHz, aimed at enhancing wideband HF communications. Full-scale experiments on sensor diagnostics of wideband 1-MHz channels were carried out over a 90 km NVIS radio path. The experiments demonstrated that adaptive equalization based on sensor diagnostic data resulted in an average energy gain of 10 dB, significantly enhancing the covertness of systems with fast frequency hopping. It was also found that the equalizer adaptation period on NVIS paths can be at least 60 seconds.

Published: November 2024

In this study, we present the first results of the energy release process during the decay phase of an M 2.7 GOES-class white flare that occurred on July 17, 2023. The event was located at the southwestern part of the solar limb. This position allowed us to analyze the spatial structure and the microwave source evolution of the post-eruptive arcade without the effect of the solar disk emission. An estimation of the magnetic field of the microwave source by the peak frequency of the gyro-synchrotron spectrum indicates a weak field of about 3 G in the region where the microwave flare emission was generated. The microwave spectrum evolution showed that accelerated electrons were present at the beginning of arcade formation, but an hour later, thermal bremsstrahlung began to dominate the spectrum, indicating a large amount of thermal plasma.

ШОЛОХОВСКАЯ ТРАДИЦИЯ В РАССКАЗЕ Е.Д. АЙПИНА «КЛЯТВОПРЕСТУПНИК»
Authors: Д.В. Ларкович
Published: November 2024

Статья представляет собой первый опыт рассмотрения творчества известного югорского прозаика Е.Д. Айпина в контексте художествен-ных открытий М.А. Шолохова. Использование подходов и принципов компаратив-ного анализа позволяет обнаружить в рассказе «Клятвопреступник» (1978) целый комплекс художественных маркеров шолоховской традиции. К числу типологиче-ских схождений ранней прозы Айпина и творчества Шолохова относятся: истори-ческий контекст художественного повествования, художественная объективность в оценке исторических событий, человек в условиях социально-политического и духовного кризиса как предмет художественного осмысления, самосознание героя как доминанта художественного изображения, вариативность и многооб-разие форм художественного воплощения самосознания личности, человек в его неразрывном единстве с миром как концептуальная константа авторской худо-жественной идеологии. Это позволяет сделать вывод о том, что творческий опыт Шолохова как эпического писателя был воспринят Айпиным уже в ранний период его литературной активности.

The article is the first attempt to examine the works of the famous Yugra prose writer E.D. Aipin in the context of the M.A. Sholokhov artistic discoveries. The use of the comparative analysis approaches and principles allows us to discover an entire complex of artistic markers of the Sholokhov tradition in the story “The Oathbreaker” (1978). The typological similarities between Aipin’s early prose and Sholokhov’s works include: the historical context of artistic narration, artistic objectivi-ty in assessing historical events, a person in the conditions of socio-political and spir-itual crisis as an object of artistic comprehension, the hero's self-awareness as the dominant feature of the artistic depiction, the variability and diversity of forms of individual self-awareness artistic embodiment, a person in their inseparable unity with the world as a conceptual constant of the author’s artistic ideology. This allows us to conclude that Sholokhov’s creative experience as an epic writer was already per-ceived by Aipin in the early period of his literary activity.

Authors: Yakovleva Elena Olegovna , Tarikin Vladimir  Konstantinovich , Lubentseva Kristina Aleksandrovna
Published: November 2024

In order to carry out the tasks facing the criminal law, norms are provided in advance that have an encouraging character, but at the same time stimulate law-abiding behavior in the form of stopping preparations for committing a criminal act. Such an example is the institution of voluntary refusal to commit a crime and bring it to an end both alone and in complicity. At the same time, this category makes it possible to achieve one of the goals of criminal law – the prevention of crime, however, provided that the voluntary refusal becomes voluntary, timely and final. The subject of the presented research is the criminal law norms governing legal relations related to the voluntary refusal of complicity in a crime. The purpose of the study is to analyze the features of voluntary refusal to participate in a crime.The scientific research work analyzes the concept, signs and criminal law significance of voluntary refusal to commit a crime in complicity. The results show that group crimes, due to their prevalence, require a deeper study and development of theoretical foundations, legislative regulation and practical aspects for the correct legal assessment of such acts. The scope of the results is aimed at developing a separate legal norm devoted to the peculiarities of voluntary refusal. The scientific novelty of the study is expressed in the identification of special patterns and problematic aspects in the field of differentiation of voluntary refusal to commit a crime by the organizer, perpetrators and other accomplices.The conclusions emphasize the need to introduce a separate legal norm that will more effectively regulate the legal aspects of complicity, avoid mistakes in qualifying the voluntary refusal of accomplices from completing the crime, as well as ensure justice when bringing to justice participants in a group crime.

Published: November 2024

Nutritional quality is a lever for the adoption of new varieties. This study aimed to assess the protein quality of 29 cowpea genotypes for breeding purposes. The collection includes 4 local and donor parental varieties, 10 and 11 progenies of F7-30 and F8-38 families, and 4 dual-purpose varieties. Crude protein and protein-soluble fractions of cowpea grains were determined using the methods of Kjeldahl, Osborne, and Campbell, respectively. Amino acid content was quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography. The descriptive analysis shows high intra and inter-familial trait variability among genotypes. Protein contents varied from 25.5% to 35.86%. The main protein fractions were albumin (24.36–73.34 g/100 g protein) and glutelin, followed by globulin and prolamin. Glutamine/glutamic acid, asparagine/aspartic acid, and phenylalanine + tyrosine were prevalent. Methionine + cysteine was the most limiting amino acid. However, apart from CWS-F7-30-9a, CWS-F7-30-7a, and CWS-F8-38-50, all investigated genotypes meet the requirements of all essential amino acids (EAAs) as recommended by FAO/WHO/UNU adults and 2–5 year olds. The genotypes had a mean predicted protein efficiency ratio of 3.68, making them excellent protein sources. This study identifies genotypes with high protein, good EAA profile, and high protein quality for breeding programs and other specific usages.

Oscillations in insulin secretion, driven by islet Ca
2+
waves, are crucial for glycemic control. Prior studies, performed with single-plane imaging, suggest that subpopulations of electrically coupled β-cells have privileged roles in leading and coordinating the propagation of Ca
2+
waves. Here, we used 3D light-sheet imaging to analyze the location and Ca
2+
activity of single β-cells within the entire islet at >2 Hz. In contrast with single-plane studies, 3D network analysis indicates that the most highly synchronized β-cells are located at the islet center, and remain regionally but not cellularly stable between oscillations. This subpopulation, which includes ‘hub cells’, is insensitive to changes in fuel metabolism induced by glucokinase and pyruvate kinase activation. β-cells that initiate the Ca
2+
wave (‘leaders’) are located at the islet periphery, and strikingly, change their identity over time via rotations in the wave axis. Glucokinase activation, which increased oscillation period, reinforced leader cells and stabilized the wave axis. Pyruvate kinase activation, despite increasing oscillation frequency, had no effect on leader cells, indicating the wave origin is patterned by fuel input. These findings emphasize the stochastic nature of the β-cell subpopulations that control Ca
2+
oscillations and identify a role for glucokinase in spatially patterning ‘leader’ β-cells.

How the fate (folding versus degradation) of glycoproteins is determined in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an intriguing question. Monoglucosylated glycoproteins are recognized by lectin chaperones to facilitate their folding, whereas glycoproteins exposing well-trimmed mannoses are subjected to glycoprotein ER-associated degradation (gpERAD); we have elucidated how mannoses are sequentially trimmed by EDEM family members (George et al., 2020, 2021 eLife). Although reglucosylation by UGGT was previously reported to have no effect on substrate degradation, here we directly tested this notion using cells with genetically disrupted UGGT1/2. Strikingly, the results showed that UGGT1 delayed the degradation of misfolded substrates and unstable glycoproteins including ATF6α. An experiment with a point mutant of UGGT1 indicated that the glucosylation activity of UGGT1 was required for the inhibition of early glycoprotein degradation. These and overexpression-based competition experiments suggested that the fate of glycoproteins is determined by a tug-of-war between structure formation by UGGT1 and degradation by EDEMs. We further demonstrated the physiological importance of UGGT1, since ATF6α cannot function properly without UGGT1. Thus, our work strongly suggests that UGGT1 is a central factor in ER protein quality control via regulation of both glycoprotein folding and degradation.
PKA regulation of neuronal function requires the dissociation of catalytic subunits from regulatory subunits
Authors: Xiong Weihong , Qin Maozhen , Zhong Haining
Published: November 2024

Protein kinase A (PKA) plays essential roles in diverse cellular functions. However, the spatiotemporal dynamics of endogenous PKA upon activation remain debated. The classical model predicts that PKA catalytic subunits dissociate from regulatory subunits in the presence of cAMP, whereas a second model proposes that catalytic subunits remain associated with regulatory subunits following physiological activation. Here, we report that different PKA subtypes, as defined by the regulatory subunit, exhibit distinct subcellular localization at rest in CA1 neurons of cultured hippocampal slices. Nevertheless, when all tested PKA subtypes are activated by norepinephrine, presumably via the β-adrenergic receptor, catalytic subunits translocate to dendritic spines but regulatory subunits remain unmoved. These differential spatial dynamics between the subunits indicate that at least a significant fraction of PKA dissociates. Furthermore, PKA-dependent regulation of synaptic plasticity and transmission can be supported only by wildtype, dissociable PKA, but not by inseparable PKA. These results indicate that endogenous PKA regulatory and catalytic subunits dissociate to achieve PKA function in neurons.
Formation of a giant unilocular vacuole via macropinocytosis-like process confers anoikis resistance

Cell survival in metazoans depends on cell attachment to the extracellular matrix (ECM) or to neighboring cells. Loss of such attachment triggers a type of programmed cell death known as anoikis, the acquisition of resistance to which is a key step in cancer development. The mechanisms underlying anoikis resistance remain unclear, however. The intracellular F-actin cytoskeleton plays a key role in sensing the loss of cell–ECM attachment, but how its disruption affects cell fate during such stress is not well understood. Here, we reveal a cell survival strategy characterized by the formation of a giant unilocular vacuole (GUVac) in the cytoplasm of the cells whose actin cytoskeleton is disrupted during loss of matrix attachment. Time-lapse imaging and electron microscopy showed that large vacuoles with a diameter of >500 nm accumulated early after inhibition of actin polymerization in cells in suspension culture, and that these vacuoles subsequently coalesced to form a GUVac. GUVac formation was found to result from a variation of a macropinocytosis-like process, characterized by the presence of inwardly curved membrane invaginations. This phenomenon relies on both F-actin depolymerization and the recruitment of septin proteins for micron-sized plasma membrane invagination. The vacuole fusion step during GUVac formation requires PI(3)P produced by VPS34 and PI3K-C2α on the surface of vacuoles. Furthermore, its induction after loss of matrix attachment conferred anoikis resistance. Our results thus show that the formation of a previously unrecognized organelle promotes cell survival in the face of altered actin and matrix environments.

Introduction: Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) are at highrisk for acquiring Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). The high prevalence of STIs, such as syphilis, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, and hepatitis B, necessitates regular screening in the MSM group. Furthermore, the presence of these STIs increases the transmission of HIV. Unfortunately, limited data are available regarding STI prevalence among MSM in India. Understanding the prevalence in this high-risk group aids in rapid diagnosis and effective control of infections, thereby reducing their transmission. Aim: To analyse the prevalence of STIs in the MSM group in Venereology Outpatient Department (OPD) in a Tertiary care centre, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Materials and Methods: A record-based cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India over a period of one year (January 2023 - December 2023). The study included 110 men who were brought in by voluntary organisations or who walked in directly to the Venereology department and identified themselves as homosexuals. Their socio-demographic data, detailed contact history, chief complaints, relevant investigations, and treatments provided were recorded and analysed. All data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Results: Out of the 110 men enrolled in this study, most were in the 18 to 29 years age group, and a predominant 58 (52.72%) reported engaging in unprotected sexual practices. Specifically, 67 (60.91%) of the men identified themselves as strictly homosexuals, while 43 (39.1%) identified as bisexuals. Further inquiry about their partners revealed that 24 (21.82%) had contact with known partners, while 86 (78.18%) had contact with unknown partners, primarily through dating apps and social media platforms. Among the 42 patients diagnosed with STIs, syphilis was the most common, affecting 15 (13.63%) individuals. The second most common STI was HIV, seen in 10 (9.09%) of which 4 had co-infection with syphilis. The next most common STIs diagnosed were genital herpes in 7 (6.36%), gonorrhea in 6 (5.45%), genital warts in 3 (2.73%), hepatitis B in 3 (2.73%), and genital scabies in 2 (1.81%). Conclusion: The prevalence of STIs in this study was found to be 38.18%. This study underscores the importance of understanding the prevalence of STIs, which may aid in targeted interventions to address STI transmission, particularly among young adults and MSM populations. Efforts should focus on promoting safer sexual practices, increasing access to testing and treatment, and providing education and support to both individuals and their partners.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), undifferentiated cells with high proliferative potential, are present in small quantities in bodily secretions and various adult tissues. Their broad distribution and lack of ethical concerns allow for their use in diverse treatments, positioning them as a promising alternative to standard pharmaceutical therapies for wound healing. Although the process of obtaining and culturing MSCs for clinical application remains a challenge, new technologies such as Rigenera® simplify this stage, enabling the direct extraction of MSCs from tissue fragments without extended culturing. This study aimed to evaluate the macroscopic effects of MSCs in wound healing in diabetic rats, considering the pathological characteristics and dysregulation of the inflammatory response that hinder the healing process. Wistar rats were used and divided into four experimental groups: control (CT), control treated with micrografts (CTST), diabetic (DB), and diabetic treated with micrografts (DBST). Lesions of approximately 1 cm² were induced on the hind paws, involving skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle. In the treated groups, autologous micrografts obtained with the Rigenera® system were used. Macroscopic parameters such as hyperemia, secretion, granulation tissue formation, and epithelialization were analyzed. The DBST group showed significant advances in tissue reconstruction, with complete tissue restoration observed after 14 days. Thus, the Rigenera® system proved effective in obtaining autologous micrografts to promote tissue regeneration in wounds in diabetic rats

This study examines the lipid-lowering and antioxidant effects of aqueous leaf extract of Anacardium occidentale in alloxan-induced diabetic albino rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced in male albino rats via intraperitoneal injection of alloxan monohydrate at a dose of 120 mg/kg body weight. The diabetic rats were then treated with A. occidentale extract at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight for 28 days. The treatment led to significant reductions in triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (p < 0.05), while significantly increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Antioxidant levels, including superoxide dismutase and catalase, were also improved, suggesting reduced oxidative stress. These findings indicate that A. occidentale exhibits potent hypolipidemic and antioxidative properties, making it a promising candidate for managing diabetes-induced dyslipidemia and oxidative stress. The study provides evidence supporting the use of A. occidentale as a natural therapeutic agent in the treatment of diabetes-related complications.
