THE PRINCIPLE OF DIRECTNESS OF JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS IN THE RUSSIAN LEGAL SYSTEM
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Theory of State and Law,, Ilyukhina Vera A.
Published: September 2024

The article reviews the principle of directness of judicial proceedings in the Russian legal system. The specific nature of this principle lies in the fact that it is a principle of positive law in the arbitration procedure law and the administrative procedure law, and a doctrinal principle in the criminal procedure law and the civil procedure law. Nevertheless, according to the judicial practice, the principle of directness of judicial proceedings is in place in all procedural branches of the Russian law. The author believes it necessary to consolidate provisions on directness of judicial proceedings as principles of the criminal procedure law (in Chapter 1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation) and the civil procedure law (in Chapter 1 “General Provisions” of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation).
ON THE POSSIBILITY FOR POST-MORTEM DISCONTINUANCE OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS IN VIEW OF RECONCILIATION OF THE PARTIES
Authors:   Head of the Department of Criminal Procedure, Criminalistics and Forensic Examination, Rusman Galina S.
Published: September 2024

The article studies the procedural possibility to discontinue criminal proceedings in view of reconciliation of the parties in case of death of the accused and notes that implementation of this incentive form has moral and humane prerequisites. The criminal procedure law grants the procedural rights of the suspect to close family members of the deceased, which gives them the opportunity to exercise the right to fi le a motion including a motion for discontinuance of criminal proceedings in view of reconciliation of the parties in case of meeting the legally established conditions (the respective position of the accused has been expressed during their lifetime, the accused and/or close family members have taken actions aimed at compensation of damage and redemption of guilt, reconciliation has taken place during the lifetime of the accused or the aggrieved has forgiven the deceased on a post-mortem basis). The author concludes that it is possible for the court to make a positive decision on the motion and discontinue criminal proceedings in view of reconciliation with the aggrieved but no legal regulation of the status of close family members of the deceased gives no chance to exercise this right in a due manner.

ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CIVIL LAW PRINCIPLE OF GOOD FAITH AND THE RULES ON PREJUDICE
Authors:   Postgraduate Student of the Law Faculty of the Financial University, Abrosimov Anton V.
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the relationship between the civil law rules establishing the possibility of applying the concept of good faith and the legal institution of prejudice and the procedural rules establishing its mandatory nature. The study raises a discussion on the limits of application of prejudicial rules, analyzes various doctrinal sources in this area, and considers judicial practice that can be used as an example to illustrate the impact of prejudice on the application of the civil law principle of good faith. The expediency of application of prejudice to legal assessments, the concept of good faith of a participant of stream of commerce, its acceptability and limits are considered. As a result of the study, conclusions are drawn on the existence of a correlation between the principle of good faith and the rules of prejudice, appropriate recommendations are given and a specific approach to the given problems is developed.
RECOVERY OF COMPENSATION FOR MORAL DAMAGES IN THE CONSIDERATION OF CIVIL CASES BY A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
Authors:   Justice of the Peace of Judicial District No. 2 of Sverdlovsky Judicial District of Kostroma, Petrova Anastasia S.
Published: September 2024

The article deals with the issues of recovering moral damages in civil cases that are pending before a justice of the peace. It examines the jurisdictional issues of such claims and concludes that, in the vast majority of cases, moral damages can only be recovered in civil proceedings involving consumer protection disputes. The conditions established by the law for the compensation of damages are analyzed, as well as the fact that the basis for the recovery of moral damages in such cases is the established fact of violation of the consumer's rights by the service provider. The possibility of satisfying claims for moral damages, which is confirmed only by plaintiff's own statements, is also justified. The circumstances taken into consideration by the court in determining the amount of compensation for moral damages are studied on the basis of examples of civil cases from the practical experience of a justice of the peace of a particular judicial district. The question is raised as to whether it is possible to recover moral damages in cases of damage caused when the established legal relations exclude the protection of consumer rights, but at the same time the damage is caused simultaneously to property and personal non-property legal relations (damage to residential premises).

Servicios de salud mental para la población en movilidad. Las limitaciones del sector público, privado y de la sociedad civil en México
Authors: Saavedra Nayelhi , Galván Reyes Jorge , Alanís Sarahí
Published: September 2024

Las estrategias implementadas por el Estado para proporcionar servicios de salud mental a la población en movilidad han sido endebles y discontinuas. Entre las razones está el reducido presupuesto dedicado a la infraestructura y a los recursos humanos del sistema de salud público. Por ello, la tarea ha recaído directamente las organizaciones de la sociedad civil (OSC), las asociaciones y las agencias internacionales (AI), y de manera indirecta en los financiadores. Sin embargo, debido a las limitaciones y dinámicas de todos éstos, los servicios que ofrecen no logran satisfacer las necesidades de atención de los migrantes. El objetivo del estudio es conocer quiénes son los actores que ofrecen servicios de salud mental, cómo los ofrecen, y comprender cuáles son los factores que subyacen en la escasa oferta de servicios. Se trata de una investigación exploratoria descriptiva en la cual utilizamos una metodología cualitativa. De 2019 a 2023, realizamos 81 entrevistas a integrantes de las instancias arriba mencionadas, así como a personal de varias dependencias gubernamentales, en lugares donde convergen importantes flujos de migrantes: CDMX, Tijuana, y localidades de tres estados, Morelos, Hidalgo y Michoacán. Encontramos que los obstáculos identificados por los participantes están relacionados con las políticas públicas y el financiamiento, los recursos humanos disponibles en las OSC, y los recursos materiales, administrativos y humanos del sector público. El asunto que subyace a las limitaciones es la falta de regulaciones explícitas y las normas soterradas que modelan cualquier acción del personal del sector público, de las OSC y AI, así como de los financiadores.

Los plásticos han sido ampliamente utilizados en diversos productos, mejorando nuestras vidas con su durabilidad y versatilidad. Sin embargo, el uso de plásticos desechables conlleva desventajas ambientales, ya que muchos de estos productos tardan cientos de años en degradarse, contaminan nuestro entorno y contienen aditivos tóxicos como el di-(2-etilhexil) ftalato (DEHP). La exposición crónica al DEHP (aire, comida y agua) puede afectar el sistema circulatorio, inmune, endocrino, nervioso y reproductivo en humanos y animales. También induce estrés oxidativo en estos sistemas, causando daño en diferentes órganos y tejidos. En este espacio presentamos resultados de un estudio que realizamos en células cultivadas de músculo esquelético de humanos que suma al conocimiento acerca de los efectos del DEHP. Los resultados indican que el DEHP (1 mM; 13 días de exposición) induce cambios morfológicos y reduce la tasa de crecimiento celular, afectando así la resiliencia de las células. La exposición a DEHP aumentó la producción de radical superóxido (O2•-), la oxidación de proteínas celulares y la actividad de la enzima superóxido dismutasa, encargada de remover y aminorar los efectos del O2•-. La presencia de este contaminante también aumentó la actividad de la enzima glutatión S-transferasa, la cual participa en procesos de detoxificación. Todos estos resultados sugieren que el estrés oxidativo es un proceso complejo que puede tener efectos negativos en la tasa de crecimiento celular y la capacidad antioxidante en células del músculo esquelético. Además, nuestros resultados indican que las células de músculo esquelético de humanos expuestas a DEHP (1 mM; 13 días de exposición) no pierden por completo su capacidad proliferativa.

A Methodological Approach for the Security Analysis of FIWARE Technology
Authors: Perata Juan Pablo , Betarte Gustavo
Published: September 2024

This paper presents the results of a security assessment of FIWARE technology. We adopted an offensive perspective to identify vulnerabilities in deploying FIWARE components in specific architecture configurations. We identify security issues by experimenting in a locally controlled environment and propose a threat model following the OWASP methodology. We implemented attacks for three of the identified attack goals and validated our approach with an exploratory analysis of an actual working and productive FIWARE platform. This analysis helped us distinguish different types of attacks, and we ended up with recommendations for components, architecture, and access control.
Strasburg – Wrocław – Kraków. O transferze górnoreńskiego stylu architektury sakralnej na Śląsk i do Małopolski w pierwszej połowie XIV w.
Authors: Adamski Jakub
Published: September 2024

The turn of the 14th c. was a special moment in the history of Gothic architecture. It was during this time that the Upper Rhine region quickly gained artistic importance and became the most advanced architectural centre in Europe. The main focus of the article is to show how new trends in architectural design became apparent in two regions of southern Poland, Silesia and Lesser Poland, as early as around 1280. Monastic churches at Lubiaz and Kamieniec as well as the cathedrals and parish churches of Wroclaw and Cracow exemplify the impact of Upper Rhine models on the stylistic development of Central European Gothic architecture. They bear witness of the artistic maturity that had already been reached in the southern Polish regions in the last decades of the 13th century. The study highlights in a special way the artistic role of Wroclaw, which in the 14th c. can be regarded as an architectural centre of far supra-regional importance. It shows that the patrons and master builders of the time in Wroclaw not only maintained constant and intensive contacts with the leading creative centres in south-west Germany, but also contributed to the transmission of the latest style patterns further afield – including to Cracow.

Authors: Mochizuki Luis , Pennone Juliana , Ferreira Daniel R. M. J. , Neiva Jaqueline F. P. , Manfio Eliane F.
Published: September 2024

Background: Despite the well-known relationship between gait and brain function in development, there is much to be unveiled. Aim: We have evaluated the complexity of gait in children from 5 to 10 years. Method: 11 boys and 17 girls were divided into three groups according to their ages. The right lower limb kinematics was analyzed during walking. CV was applied to verify the complexity of movement and vector coding evaluated the coordination modes. Results and Interpretation: The mid-stance phase showed to be the most sensitive phase to detect differences in variability and complexity among different ages. Motor development seems to move towards an optimal and complex solution for walking because older children can control more than one joint at the same time.

Published: September 2024

Aim: The miRNA cargo of plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) is commonly studied for its biomarker potential. However, isolation of EVs from human plasma is challenging. Although size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) is commonly used to isolate plasma EVs, SEC does not completely separate EVs from other miRNA carriers such as cells, lipoproteins, and proteins. Recently, new SEC columns were introduced, but hitherto, no systematic study was performed to compare the recovery and purity of plasma EVs using both traditional and new columns. In this study, we investigated the recovery of EVs and separation efficacy from lipoproteins and proteins using different SEC columns, and how recovery and separation affect miRNA cargo analysis.

Methods: EVs were isolated from pooled (n = 5) platelet-depleted plasma using 10 different SEC columns. For each column, three EV-enriched fractions were pooled and concentrations of EVs, lipoproteins, proteins, and miRNAs were measured by flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Bradford assay, and qRT-PCR, respectively.

Results: Our results show that the resin pore size affects all measured parameters: a small pore size increases recovery of EVs and quantity of miRNA, but decreases the separation efficacy compared to a large pore size. Regression analysis showed that the investigated miRNAs are more strongly associated with EVs than with lipoproteins or proteins.

Conclusion: The choice of a SEC column markedly affects the recovery, separation efficacy, and miRNA cargo analysis of human plasma-derived EVs. We recommend either using SEC columns with a 70-nm pore size due to their superior EV purity or studying the effect of non-EV particles on the miRNAs of interest.
FLOOR CROSSING AS AN ELEMENT OF FUNCTIONING OF PARLIAMENTARISM AND PARTY SYSTEM IN UKRAINE THE SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE EXAMINES
Authors: Buchyn M. , Krokhmalna Z.
Published: September 2024

The scientific article examines the problem of floor crossing as an element of modern parliamentarism and the party system. The authors reveal the essence and main causes of floor crossing at the current stage, namely: the weakness and instability of the party system; the short-term nature of political parties; lack of legal regulation of the phenomenon of floor crossing; undemocratic political regime in the country; non-democratic style of state administration; violation of opposition rights; low level of political culture of parliament members; lack of public control of citizens over the government, etc. The level of floor crossing in Ukraine has been studied using the example of functioning of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the third-eighth convocations. It has been found that floor crossing is an integral element of modern Ukrainian parliamentarism. Its level is quite high and is determined by a number of objective and subjective factors. In particular, it refers to such factors as: the presence of power pressure on opposition deputies; a change in the political situation connected with the emergence of new centers of political influence; high-profile political events (the Orange Revolution, the Revolution of Dignity, etc); the weakness of political parties and the instability of the party system of Ukraine; low level of political culture of Ukrainian MPs and their desire to be members of factions that are considered the most promising in terms of personal benefits, etc. It has been proved that in Ukraine the level of floor crossing is largely correlated with the nature of the parliamentary mandate: the presence of an imperative parliamentary mandate reduces the number of party switchers, while the presence of a free parliamentary mandate contributes to an increase in the level of party defections.
COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO ANALYSING REGIONAL POLICIES
Authors: Kobylnyk V. A.
Published: September 2024

In today's world, regional policy is in the spotlight to stimulate economic growth, social stability and promote sustainable development. Governments at various levels of government around the world are actively developing and implementing a variety of regional strategies and programmes to address the specific challenges and needs of their regions. These include infrastructure development, investment promotion, support for small and medium-sized businesses, and access to education and healthcare. The growing diversity of such policies underscores the importance of comparative analysis to assess their effectiveness and impact. It is found that despite a significant number of works devoted to regional development, domestic scholars have not yet reached a consensus on the definition of such concepts as «regional policy» and «state regional policy». The effectiveness of the state regional policy is determined by the thoughtfulness and validity of the decisions made at two stages: the formation of the state regional development policy and its phased implementation. It is important for researchers to take into account specific regional conditions, such as economic structure, socio-cultural characteristics, geographical and demographic factors that may affect policy outcomes. This requires the use of comprehensive and multidimensional indicators that cover economic, social, environmental and infrastructural aspects of development. The benchmarking method plays a key role in shaping and improving regional policy by helping to identify effective strategies, analyse success factors, identify common challenges, increase transparency and accountability, support decisionmaking and promote international cooperation. The assessment of the benchmarking results should include not only the identification of strengths and weaknesses of regional policies, but also the formulation of specific recommendations for their improvement, which contributes to their effectiveness and efficiency.
A Prophetic Law Basis for Strengthening the Values of Indonesian Consumer Protection Law Culture
Authors: Musataklima Musataklima , Sulistiyono Adi , Syamsudin M.
Published: September 2024

This study analyzes the factors that cause the weakness of consumer empowerment in Indonesia and conducts a comparison to the other countries in order to strengthen the values of Consumer Protection Law based on the Prophetic Law. This study combines the normative and empirical legal research. The qualitative data used are from primary and secondary sources. The primary data are obtained through interviews with predetermined informants. Secondary data are collected through literature research. The results show that the lack of consumer empowerment is caused by the long distance between the institution implementing consumer protection and the consumer itself. As a result, it is difficult for consumers to access. On the other hand, the methods used to protect consumers are still non-formal. Second, strengthening the values of consumer protection law culture can be done through formal education based on Islamic prophetic values because with such a design, the intensity of consumer education can run in a programmed, organized, and systematic manner, and prophetic values can become the basis of energy to always fight for consumer rights through a critical attitude.
Science and Prophetic Law: Karl Popper's Falsification Principle and Three Worlds of Science
Authors: Erfa Redhani Muhammad
Published: September 2024

Kuntowijoyo has significantly influenced scholars in Indonesia, particularly in the realm of legal studies, through his concept of prophetic social science. This concept gave rise to Prophetic Law, a legal ideology that seeks to address societal issues by grounding legal principles in transcendental values. Prophetic Law emerges not just as a theoretical framework but as a practical ideology aimed at reforming and advancing legal science to solve contemporary problems. However, for Prophetic Law to be recognized as a valid and robust field of science, it must withstand rigorous testing, particularly through the process of falsification, as proposed by Karl Popper. This study aims to explore two critical aspects: first, the applicability of Popper's falsification theory to Prophetic Law, and second, the positioning and significance of Prophetic Law within Popper's three worlds of science. To investigate these aspects, a conceptual approach is employed, linking the principles of Prophetic Law with Popper's theories and delving into the philosophy of science to offer a comprehensive analysis. The study concludes that Popper's falsification principle is indeed relevant and necessary for testing the validity of Prophetic Law. Furthermore, in the context of Popper's three worlds of science, Prophetic Law currently resides in the second world, which is characterized by subjective ideas or what Popper refers to as "people's work." For Prophetic Law to evolve and become a universally accepted and applied legal framework, it must transition from the second world to the third world, where knowledge is objective and accessible to society at large.
Enhanced Vital Parameter Estimation Using Short-Range Radars with Advanced Motion Compensation and Super-Resolution Techniques
Authors: Yoon Sewon , Baek Seungjae , Chioi Inoh , Kim Soobum , Koo Bontae , Baek Youngseok , Jung Jooho , Park Sanghong , --- Min Kim
Published: September 2024

Various short-range radars, such as impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) and frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radars, are currently employed to monitor vital signs, including respiratory and cardiac rates (RR and CR). However, these methods do not consider the motion of an individual, which can distort the phase of the reflected signal, leading to inaccurate estimation of RR and CR because of a smeared spectrum. Therefore, motion compensation (MOCOM) is crucial for accurately estimating these vital rates. This paper proposes an efficient method incorporating MOCOM to estimate RR and CR with super-resolution accuracy. The proposed method effectively models the radar signal phase and compensates for motion. Additionally, applying the super-resolution technique to RR and CR separately further increases the estimation accuracy. Experimental results from the IR-UWB and FMCW radars demonstrate that the proposed method successfully estimates RR and CR even in the presence of body movement.
Polarization-Enhanced Underwater Laser Range-Gated Imaging for Subaquatic Applications

Published: September 2024

Laser range-gated underwater imaging technology, by removing most of the back scattering noise, can effectively increase the image contrast and extend the detection range. The optical signal captured by a range-gated imaging system primarily comprises reflected light from the object and backscattered light from the surrounding water. Consequently, surfaces with low reflectivity or highly turbid water environments substantially constrain the applicability of the range-gated imaging system. To enhance the detection capability of underwater laser range-gated imaging, this paper proposes the incorporation of underwater polarized light imaging technology as an enhancement method. Based on polarization differences, backscattered light and reflected light from an object can be distinguished. Experimental results indicate that, compared to images obtained using a conventional range-gated laser imaging system, those captured with a polarization-enhanced system exhibit an increase of up to 47%. The proposed approach, which integrates polarization imaging with range-gated laser imaging, has the potential to broaden the applicability of underwater laser imaging scenarios.
The Role of Humor in Bringing Smile Islam Back Home in the Digital Public Space
Authors: Amal M. Khusna , Hepni Hepni , Izza Anadia Aqiela Nuril , Adi Depict Pristine
Published: September 2024

The increasing activism of moderate Muslim groups in promoting religious moderation and countering radicalism has garnered significant scholarly attention. However, there remains a paucity of comprehensive studies exploring the role of education grounded in local cultural practices, such as humor, in this context. This article aims to analyze the utilization of humor-based platforms on social media by moderate Muslim organizations to advance religious moderation and reinforce the portrayal of a tolerant and peaceful Indonesian Islam in virtual public spaces. It argues that humor functions not merely as a vehicle for entertainment but as an effective educational tool capable of de-escalating tensions and conflicts without inciting violence, by employing humorous language. This study employs Virtual Ethnography to observe the online activism of the "Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Garis Lucu" and "Muhammadiyah Garis Lucu" platforms, particularly in their engagements with similar humor platforms operated by radical Islamic groups. The findings reveal that humor platforms can effectively disseminate discourses on religious moderation while also providing a critique of the religious narratives propagated by radical groups through the use of memes that are both humorous and respectful. Moreover, these platforms have evolved into deliberative public spaces where diverse religious groups can engage in dialogue over various contemporary religious issues. The emergence of these humor platforms has successfully contributed to the representation of Indonesian Islam as witty, inclusive, and fundamentally opposed to radicalism.

Goat milk is a nutritious food, with high levels of vitamins and minerals. In this context, there is a growing need to improve preservation techniques. Thus, the present work was developed with the aim of drying goat milk using a spray dryer. Chemical, physical, and physicochemical analyses of powdered goat milk and reconstituted goat milk were performed, as well as the characterization of raw goat milk. The statistical model used was the full factorial design 2³ + 3, observing the Pareto Diagram and Analysis of Variance to study the effect of atomization frequency (Hz), inlet temperature (°C), and peristaltic pump rotation (rpm) on the responses for the powdered and reconstituted product. The planning was executed with eleven trials, including nine different trials and three central points. For the analysis of the planning at a 95% confidence level, the Statistica 8.0 software was used. The results showed that atomization frequency and inlet temperature had the greatest effect on the powdered product and the reconstituted food, respectively. Therefore, the importance of drying this food is evident as it offers several advantages for the food industry and consumers.
Evaluation of Trenchless Pressure Pipeline Inspection Methods
Authors: Zhang Wei
Published: September 2024

Within the research of pressure pipeline inspection methods there is an industry that is constantly growing and becoming more efficient. The purpose of inspection methods on pressure pipelines comes back to the issue of resolving leaks, corrosion, and inability of a pipeline to function (eventually). Evidently, these issues can hurt the environment, the public using the material being carried out by these pressure pipelines such as natural gas or petroleum and can hurt the pockets of pipeline companies that did not react quick enough to their pipeline solely for the reason that they may have not noticed there was an issue with their pressure pipeline. In-line inspection methods are continuously growing and have already made an impact to prevent the catastrophes that occur when a pipeline is not maintained. Technology such as smart pigs, MFLs, and ultrasounds are the future of pressure pipeline inspection. This research paper explains their pros and cons and how they’re overall more efficient and preferred as the primary inspection method for a pipeline. Older, more traditional methods such as aerial inspection, by-foot inspection, hydrostatic pressure testing, and Direct Assessment does not cover every base of inspection like in-line inspection technology does and this research explains why that is and the areas of where in-line inspection technology can be improved and deemed not as useful. This is where trenchless renewal and replacement methods come into play with inspection methods and determining the characteristics of a pipeline that matches with which inspection method and which trenchless method to use. The future of inspection methods for pressure pipelines is attainable and is somewhat already here, this research discusses the new emerging technologies and how designing in-line inspection technology to be cheaper and more versatile with pipeline characteristics can make everyone a winner in the future. A winner as far the environment being safe, neighborhoods near pressure pipelines being safe, companies being able to install in-line inspection technology at a fraction of the cost of today and the efficiency of pipelines by monitoring the characteristics with this new technology.
Polynitrobenzene Derivatives, Containing -CF3, -OCF3, and -O(CF2)nO- Functional Groups, as Candidates for Perspective Fluorinated High-Energy Materials: Theoretical Study
Authors: Tamuliene Jelena , Sarlauskas Jonas
Published: September 2024

The study of the morphology, thermal, and chemical stability of the fluorinated compounds was performed using Becke’s three-parameter hybrid functional approach with the correlation provided by Lee, Yang, and Parr and the cc-pVTZ basis set aiming to design low sensitivity, toxicity, instability, and proneness to decomposition or degradation over a short time high-energy materials. The most stable conformers of the compounds under study were selected based on their total energy. Their thermal and chemical stability was evaluated based on the binding energy per atom, chemical hardness, and softness. The oxygen-fluorine balance is assessed to evaluate the sensitivity of these new materials. The density, detonation pressure, and velocity of the selected conformers were theoretically obtained to reveal the influence of -CF3, -OCF3, and cyclic -O(CF2)nO- fragments on the energetic properties of nitroaromatics as well as their stability and resistance to shock stimuli. The results allow us to predict new multipurpose energetic materials with a good balance between power and stability. Referring to the results obtained, we recommend CF3N2, OCF3N2, C2F6N2, 1CF2N2/O2CF2N2, and 2CF4N2/O2C2F4N2 for practical usage because these compounds possess greater stability compared to tetryl and better explosive properties than TNT.
No rastro dos incontáveis: notas sobre a construção e os usos de duas ferramentas pedagógicas sobre a ditadura militar
Authors: Lombardo Luciana , Pedretti Lucas
Published: September 2024

O objetivo deste texto é refletir sobre a produção e os usos possíveis de duas ferramentas pedagógicas sobre a ditadura militar: uma exposição de documentos e uma série audiovisual. As duas foram pensadas e desenvolvidas pela mesma equipe do Núcleo de Memória e Direitos Humanos da UFRJ e dois de seus membros as têm utilizado como recursos didáticos nas aulas de História. O artigo está dividido em três partes: um relato do contexto e dos debates acadêmicos e políticos em que se originou esse núcleo de pesquisa; uma discussão da construção e visitação da exposição Rastros da Verdade a partir da análise dos questionários de avaliação preenchidos por estudantes e professores; e, por fim, um balanço das apostas feitas na produção da série Incontáveis e das questões suscitadas em suas exibições ao longo pensado tempo, baseado nas experiências e memórias dos autores.
