Analyzing Security Risks in Cyber-Physical Manufacturing Systems with Actor–Network Theory
Authors: Sreeramagiri Praveen , Andrews Gillian , Greene Amanda K. , Balasubramanian Ganesh
Published: May 2022

This article suggests that actor–network theory (ANT) can reveal unique challenges and consequences of cyberattacks in manufacturing. As an approach, ANT rejects the dualism that often separates humans and nonhumans, recognizing the active role of both in affecting events. Our approach adds an important new perspective to an existing body of research that focuses on analyzing vulnerabilities in cyberspace instead of their ramifications in the material world. Drawing on the case study of a faulty airbag inflator in an automobile, we use concepts and vocabularies drawn from ANT to discuss the consequences of attacks in manufacturing, such as viewing altered products as actants with agency to alter subsequent networks (e.g., when a manufactured part is integrated into an automotive vehicle). By tracing the movement of specific materials and products through networks it is possible to elucidate how cyberattacks not only impact cyber-physical systems themselves, but also reverberate into a multitude of broader impacts, potentially endangering physical safety, shaping public opinion, and influencing economic markets. Our examination of one particular context draws on existing work that has brought ANT and cybersecurity in dialogue, but we extend this work by focusing on the role of “translation” and “depunctualization” across the lifecycle of a cyberattack in manufacturing. This analysis stresses the need for sector-specific examinations of cyberthreats, while also demonstrating the value of interdisciplinary methods like ANT that do not reify artificial dualisms in addressing for conceptualizing security risks in cyber-physical manufacturing systems.

Abstract. Buildings with component degradation are a common challenge for all construction companies across the world. There are various building's components that it is challenging for construction companies to manage them all at once. It was not considered that the building agency is responsible for more than one building at a time. These issues have gotten more complicated as a result of the building agencies' limited financial resources for building maintenance. This study attempts to provide a visible solution to manage the building maintenance strategy based on complex building maintenance problems. The Analytical Hierarchy Process was used to give a complete way for assessing the building's condition (AHP). This method developed in this study was applied to define the building condition and followed by determining the building priority to be maintained. The building component in this study was specified into three specific components such as interior, exterior, and building utility. To complete this method, a three-level priority factor was determined with consideration from the safety factor follow by the functionality factor, dan the last is an esthetic factor. The developed model shows a proper and reliable solution related to the degradation of building components and their functionalities.

Published: May 2022

Politics and religion overtime have become two sides of a coin. This is particularly through of Africa, Nigeria inclusive, due to the nature of colonialism that accompanied introduction of Christian religion.  No matter how conceived, the activities of the various missionary bodies that came with colonialism brought about development to Nigeria in all spheres of live especially in the education sector. This can be attested to by many schools set up by the Christian missionaries that provided quality education for many generations during and after colonial rule in the country. This paper attempts to investigate the activities of the Living Faith church (Winners Chapel) in bringing development through education. The paper found that the Living Faith church have invested vigorously in the education sector as manifested in the establishment of two Universities and chains of Secondary and Primary schools across the country that have continued to train scores of Nigerians and in turn contributing to the development of the country. Although it has been argued that the type of education provided by this church is too expensive and targeted at the elites when compared to the education provided by the early Christian missionaries. The paper concludes that since governmental authorities at various levels have continued to neglect the education sector in spite of the teeming yearning of Nigerians for  quality education, the cost of ignorance cannot be compared to the services rendered by the Living faith church in the education sector and thereby contributing its own quota to the development of Nigeria.

Towards strand production in primary log breakdown: Effects of the counter-knife and temperature on size distribution of Jack pine strands
Authors: Alipraja Irsan , Hernández Roger E. , Cáceres Claudia B. , Koubaa Ahmed
Published: May 2022

Effects of counter-knife and wood temperature were studied relative to the size distribution of Jack pine strands processed by a strander-canter. Studied factors included the counter-knife angle (60°, 75°, 90°, and 105°) and the distance between the edges of the counter-knife and knife (6 mm, 11 mm, and 16 mm). The nominal cutting speed was fixed at 25 m/s. Rotation and feed speeds were adjusted to obtain a target strand length of 102 mm, while the target strand thickness was 0.9 mm. The stranding process was performed under two log temperatures, i.e., -13.4 °C (frozen condition) and 18.6 °C (unfrozen condition). Results showed that the proportion of strands, fines, pin chips, and strands’ width were affected by the counter-knife angle and wood temperature. The proportion of strands and the mean strand width increased as the counter-knife angle decreased, while conversely, the proportion of fines and pin chips decreased. Frozen logs produced narrower strands and more fines and pin chips than unfrozen logs. The highest strand proportion, lowest fines and pin chips proportions, and wider strands were obtained with a counter-knife angle of 60° for frozen wood and 75° for unfrozen wood.

Published: May 2022

To investigate the binding properties of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde with human serum albumin, as well as the structural changes of human serum albumin under a simulated physiological pH value (a pH of 7.4) and a high 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde concentration, a series of techniques, i.e., fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, ultraviolet-visible absorption, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and molecular docking simulation, were employed. Steady state fluorescence showed that 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of human serum albumin via a static mechanism. The 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde-human serum albumin complex had a strong affinity (Kb = 105 M-1) at various temperatures. It was shown that 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde was bound to the IB subdomain of human serum albumin primarily via hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces at high 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde concentrations, based on the results of the thermodynamic and molecular docking. Furthermore, the fluorescence emission spectrum and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results indicated that the binding distance between 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and human serum albumin was 4.42 nm. In addition, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde induced conformational changes of human serum albumin. These findings provide reasonable evidence for further understanding the distribution of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde when it spreads into human blood serum, which may be helpful in food and medicine research.

Authors: Mejia Mirian E. , Bravo Jorge A. , Reyes Felipe A.
Published: May 2022

Las partículas de hematita fueron sintetizadas mediante tratamiento térmico de FeSO4 con diferentes concentraciones de azúcar. Para la síntesis utilizamos una mezcla de sulfato ferroso (FeSO4) y azúcar simple en polvo, esta mezcla se mantuvo en un horno a 6000 C durante 14 horas. Se trabajó con proporciones de 1 g y 3 g de FeSO4 con 0.1 g, 0.2 g y 0.3 g de azúcar respectivamente. El análisis de las propiedades magnéticas macroscópicas de las muestras se realizó con un magnetómetro de campo alternante. Para la caracterización estructural de las muestras se utilizó las técnicas de difractometría de rayos X (DRX) y espectroscopia Mössbauer por transmisión (EMT). Se observó la sola presencia de la fase de hematita, cuando se utilizó la proporción de 1 g FeSO4 con 0.1 g, 0.2 g y 0.3 g de azúcar. No llegó a formarse hematita para las proporciones de 3 g FeSO4 con 0.1 g, 0.2 g y 0.3 g de azúcar; en estos casos se obtuvo la fase cristalina de butlerita (Fe(SO4)(OH)(H2O)2). De los parámetros hiperfinos Mössbauer, se determinó la fase mineralógica de hematita por la presencia del sexteto magnético de hematita para el caso de 1 g FeSO4; y en el caso de 3 g FeSO4 se observó sólo la presencia de dos sitios paramagnéticos atribuidos a cationes de hierro en estados de oxidación 3+. Estos resultados nos permitió correlacionarlos con los obtenidos por DRX.

Index spaces and standard indices in metric modelling
Authors: Erdoğan Ezgi , Ferrer-Sapena Antonia , Jiménez-Fernández Eduardo
Published: May 2022

We analyze the basic structure of certain metric models, which are constituted by an index I acting on a metric space (D; d) representing a relevant property of the elements of D. We call such a structure (D; d; I) an index space and define on it normalization and consistency constants that measure to what extent I is compatible with the metric d. The “best” indices are those with such constants equal to 1 (standard indices), and we show an approximation method for other indices using them. With the help of Lipschitz extensions, we show how to apply these tools: a new model for the triage process in the emergency department of a hospital is presented.

Constatou-se que apesar da rede estadual apresentar uma carreira com mais referências a serem alcançadas quando comparada à rede municipal, os (as) docentes estaduais, devido a uma série de entraves demonstrados ao longo do artigo, se movimentam bem menos na carreira, não ultrapassando pouco mais do que as duas primeiras referências, ao contrário dos (as) docentes municipais, que se encontram mais bem distribuídos (as) nas diversas referências de sua carreira e apresentam também vencimento base superior ao estadual.
Fifth Street Pedestrian Plaza Bridge Becomes Landmark at Georgia Tech
Authors: McCraven Sue
Published: May 2022

Few things provide more professional satisfaction to precast concrete engineers, architects, precasters, and contractors than to create an exciting landmark structure with untried new designs. In midtown Atlanta, Ga., the Georgia Institute of Technology’s (Georgia Tech’s) Fifth Street Pedestrian Plaza Bridge provides more than safe passage over the 15 busy lanes of the I-75/I-85 Downtown Connector. Using some bridge elements for the first time (including a modified PCI bulb-tee beam, planter walls, and a tension-micropile support abutment), the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) compressed its usual 6-year plan­ning schedule to an unprecedented 10 months for the Fifth Street Pedestrian Plaza Bridge project. Building a GDOT design-build bridge for the first time, the general contractor worked seven-day weeks to avoid proj­ect delays and traffic interruptions.
Nerve excitability study – a method to assess the pathophysiology of peripheral nervous system disorders
Authors: Witkowski Grzegorz , Owsiak Szymon , Sienkiewicz-Jarosz Halina
Published: May 2022

Nerve excitability study is an interesting extension of classical neurography. The principle of the test is to stimulate the nerve with a long-term depolarising or hyperpolarising stimulus, followed by a test stimulus that induces a complex motor or sensory potential of a given amplitude. The analysis of the intensity of the test stimulus used in chronic depolarisation or hyperpolarisation of the nerve fibre allows for the assessment of changes in nerve excitability. The median nerve is stimulated, and it is possible to assess the excitability of sensory or motor fibres. Nerve excitability study is the only method to evaluate the function of neuronal membrane ion channels in vivo. Test results are impacted by the following membrane-related factors: voltage-gated sodium and potassium ion channels, sodium and potassium ATPase, as well as the degree of fibre myelination and the levels of extracellular and intracellular electrolytes. Nerve excitability study yields a result in the form of a series of complex peripheral nerve excitability parameters, such as the relationship between the stimulus and the excitation threshold, rheobase, fibre chronaxie, threshold electrotonus, and reactivation after action potential. Nerve excitability study helps assess the pathophysiology of nerve fibre damage in various disorders of the peripheral nervous system, such as hereditary polyneuropathies, neurodegenerative or metabolic diseases. The test is highly sensitive, e.g. it shows pre-symptomatic excitability changes. It can also be used to monitor treatment outcomes in metabolic and drug-induced polyneuropathies and to search for peripheral markers of central nervous system channelopathies.
Neurological complications of varicella-zoster virus infection in children
Authors: Frąszczak Justyna , Mania Anna , Kemnitz Paweł , Mazur-Melewska Katarzyna , Figlerowicz Magdalena
Published: May 2022

Varicella-zoster virus is an exclusively human α-herpesvirus, known as the aetiological factor of chickenpox which is usually linked with childhood. The disease occurs with a worldwide geographic distribution, and in temperate climates shows a seasonal pattern with epidemics occurring mostly during late winter and spring. The annual incidence is estimated at 80–90 million cases worldwide. Children usually acquire varicella during the first five to 10 years of life, and the highest risk of infection is related to household contacts without a history of vaccination. Although the disease is commonly considered benign, varicella-zoster virus bears the potential of causing a wide range of complications, including the most serious ones of central nervous system manifestations. The neuropathogenesis of varicella-zoster virus infections is not well understood. Based on a wide spectrum of clinical syndromes, multiple theories explaining the pathways of spread of the virus, and host immune response to the viral presence have been proposed, including direct retrograde trafficking of the virus and haematogenous spread as well as inflammatory response with vasculitis. Neurological complications related to varicella-zoster virus infection are the second most common indication for hospitalisation in immunocompetent children with varicella, following skin superinfections. In this paper, the neurological aspects of chickenpox in children are discussed. The characteristics of the clinical syndromes, pathogenesis, methods of diagnosis and treatment, as well as long-term consequences are presented.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is increasingly becoming the first treatment step in
breast cancer. Despite the enormous advantages of this therapy, it is a method
characterized by a high level of toxicity and thus carries a huge burden for the
patient. Therefore, it is highly desirable to begin monitoring the patient’s response to
treatment at an earlier stage. Currently, apart from traditional imaging methods, a
completely new technique (in the context of monitoring the outcomes of chemotherapy),
called quantitative ultrasound, is gaining popularity. It is a method based on the exact
same ultrasound echoes as in traditional ultrasound imaging. The innovative approach of
the method is that these echoes are not used for visualization but to characterize the
condition of the tissue by parameterizing it with the aid of ultrasound biomarkers. The
biomarkers make it possible to assess the state of the tissue at the microscopic level,
and thus evaluate changes occurring in the tissue under the influence of treatment at a
very early treatment stage. The present paper aims to familiarize the reader with the
physical foundations of this method as well as present the latest results of related
research.
Using computerised comparative judgement to assess translation
Authors: Han Chao , Hu Bei , Fan Qin , Duan Jing , Li Xi
Published: May 2022

Translation assessment represents a productive line of research in Translation Studies. An array of methods has been trialled to assess translation quality, ranging from intuitive assessment to error analysis and from rubric scoring to item-based assessment. In this article, we introduce a lesser-known approach to translation assessment called comparative judgement. Rooted in psychophysical analysis, comparative judgement grounds itself on the assumption that humans tend to be more accurate in making relative judgements than in making absolute judgements. We conducted an experiment, as both a methodological exploration and a feasibility investigation, in which novice and experienced judges were recruited to assess English-Chinese translation, using a computerised comparative judgement platform. The collected data were analysed to shed light on the validity and reliability of assessment results and the judges’ perceptions. Our analysis shows that (1) overall, comparative judgement produced valid measures and facilitated judgement reliability, although such results seemed to be affected by translation directionality and judges’ experience, and (2) the judges were generally confident about their decisions, despite some emergent factors undermining the validity of their decision making. Finally, we discuss the use of comparative judgement as a possible method in translation assessment and its implications for future practice and research.

Metsien hoito jatkuvapeitteisenä: katsaus taloudelliseen tutkimukseen
Authors: Tahvonen Olli
Published: May 2022

Metsänhoidon, puuntuotannon, hiilinielujen ja luonnon monimuotoisuuden kysymyksiä voidaan tarkastella monien tieteenalojen näkökulmasta. Tässä katsauksessa painopiste on taloudellisessa tutkimuksessa, ja tarkemmin luonnonvarojen taloustieteen tutkimuksessa, joka on osa (kansan)taloustiedettä. Taloudellinen tutkimus ei käsittele metsiä pelkästään resurssina, vaan kaikkien metsiin liittyvien in situ -arvostusten tulee olla resurssinäkökulmaan nähden lähtökohtaisesti samassa asemassa. Lisäksi erityisesti biologisesti uusiutuvien luonnonvarojen taloudellinen tutkimus on leimallisesti monitieteistä. Luonnonvarojen käytön ja käyttämättä jättämisen valinnat ovat tavoitteellista toimintaa. Tämän seurauksena taloustieteen tutkimus nojaa optimointimalleihin, joiden avulla haetaan tavoitteiden kannalta parasta mahdollista ratkaisua ekologisten ja muiden rajoitteiden puitteissa. Mallien optimiratkaisuja ei pidä tulkita siten, että ne esitettäisiin lopullisina totuuksina tarkasteltavaan kysymykseen. Tämän sijaan ne on tulkittava kuvauksina mallin lähtökohtien (oletusten) seurauksista. Näitä taloudellis-ekologisia lähtökohtia muuttamalla ja yleistämällä saadaan systemaattisesti lisää tietoa tarkasteltavasta kysymyksestä. Optimointimallien vahvuus on, että niiden avulla voidaan sisällyttää tarkasteluun erilaisia tavoitteita ja suuri määrä yksityiskohtia, joiden muodostaman systeemisen kokonaisuuden johdonmukainen hallinta ei muuten olisi mahdollista. Tässä katsauksessa malleja ja niiden tuloksia kuvataan yhtä klassisinta esimerkkiä lukuun ottamatta ilman matemaattista notaatiota. Katsaus rajautuu voittopuolisesti taloudelliseen tutkimukseen. Valinta taloudellisen ja muun tutkimuksen välillä ei aina ole yksinkertaista, koska suuri määrä tutkimuksia sisältää joitakin taloudellisia elementtejä, mutta kuitenkin ilman talousteoreettisesti selkeää rakennetta. Tässä katsauksessa käsitellään lyhyesti myös joitakin puuntuotannollisia tutkimuksia muun muassa sen selventämiseksi, että metsänhoidon taloudellinen kannattavuusvertailu ei voi perustua pelkästään kuutiotuotokseen. Katsaus on rajoitettu puustotason (metsikkötason) tutkimuksiin sen sijaan, että tarkasteltaisiin tutkimuksia, jotka koskevat laajempia metsäalueita tai markkinatason kysymyksiä. Taloudellisesta näkökulmasta ero puustotason ja aluetason mallien välillä tulee merkitykselliseksi, jos aluetason tarkastelussa olevien puustojen välillä on jokin kytkös. Keskeisin näistä kytköksistä seuraa puun hinnasta. Myös luonnon monimuotoisuus-tarkasteluiden yhteydessä näitä kytköksiä syntyy, mutta taloustieteellinen tutkimus on jälkimmäisten kytkösten osalta niukkaa. Tässä katsauksessa käytetään termejä metsien hoito jatkuvapeitteisenä tai jaksollisena. Ne vastaavat englanninkielisessä tutkimuksessa käytettyjä ”continuous cover forestry” ja ”rotation forestry” -termejä. Kiireinen lukija voi lukea pelkästään luvun 5 Taloudellisten tutkimusten synteesiä, joka alkaa sivulta 37.
Gewete, transformasie en herinnering op die Rooiplein
Authors: Van Marle Karin
Published: May 2022

In this article, I rely on a number of theoretical approaches to reflect on the possibility of the transformation of universities, in particular the University of the Free State (UFS). A starting point is the role of public space in a transforming society with emphasis on universities as public spaces. A ‘site of conscience’ approach, namely an approach to public space that endorses a critical and active engagement with the past to reflect on enduring injustice, is followed to reflect on the Red Square (the nickname derived from the red brick with which the ‘President’s Square’ was built), a prominent space on the campus of the UFS. Suggestions on how the space can be re-interpreted are considered. “Reconciliation” as featured in the work of Hannah Arendt and “Reflective nostalgia” (Boym) are relied on to contemplate the potential of the Red Square as a space of transformation and as a space of conscience. The potential of reconciliation to create a shared world that makes a plural cohabitance possible is considered. I am not arguing that reconciliation could or should take place but that conversations on what reconciliation may entail could be of value. Reflective nostalgia embraces the ambivalence of belonging and provides for multiple homes. I suggest the idea of reflective nostalgia as a possible way by which the past and figures from the past can be remembered in a critical way as it discloses multiple narratives and embraces conflicting perspectives.

Mapping dichotomisingcolon and bladder sensory afferent neurons and terminals and if they undergo structural plasticity post-colitis. v2
Authors: Harrington Andrea
Published: May 2022

This protocol is used to identify the sensory afferent neurons innervating the colon and bladder in dorsal root ganglia and nodose ganglia in order to map the distribution of dichotomising neurons (those innervating both organs) in the spinal and vagal sensory afferent pathways. This protocol was also used to identify how the central terminals of colon and bladder sensory afferent nerves are organised within the spinal cord and caudal medulla. This protocol was also used to identify if colon and/or bladder sensory afferent neurons or their central terminals under when structural plasticity in a mouse model of post-colitis chronic visceral hypersensitivity.

Algunos basamentos antropológicos y filosóficos de la concepción de anorexia mental de Jacques Lacan
Authors: Abínzano Rodrigo Valentín
Published: May 2022

El presente trabajo aborda los principales basamentos antropológicos y filosóficos de la concepción de anorexia mental de Jacques Lacan. Por establecer una correlación evidente, los aportes del antropólogo M. Mauss y del filósofo M. Heidegger deben ser localizados y esclarecidos para poder dimensionar su potencial. Este trabajo ordena y seria los alcances de la simbólica del don como de la analítica del Dasein para la clínica lacaniana de la anorexia mental. En gran medida, es en estos basamentos que se encuentra la subversión y la originalidad de los desarrollos de Lacan sobre la anorexia. Solo el establecer con carácter formal los influjos de estos campos de saber dialógicos de la enseñaza lacaniana permitirá delimitar una concepción lacaniana de la anorexia mental, elucidación epistemológica con efectos clínicos diferenciales.
Lectura de elementos fantasmáticos en el sueño de Freud sobre las tres parcas y las albóndigas
Authors: Sánchez Segura Sebastián
Published: May 2022

El presente artículo aborda inicialmente la problemática del orden pulsional propuesta porFreud en 1915, tomando como excusa el sueño de las tres parcas del propio psicoanalistapublicado en el texto de la “Interpretación de los sueños” (1986/1900), quince años antes,aproximadamente, del texto “Pulsión y destinos de la pulsión” (1915). Así mismo, searticulará la relación de la pulsión con el complejo de Edipo y sus resultados. La hipótesis esque en las producciones del inconsciente especificadas en la publicación de 1900 ya se podíaleer la configuración fantasmática explicada más adelante teóricamente no sólo por Freudsino también por Lacan.
Da foraclusão à reconstrução
Authors: Festucci Grecco Mariana , Ramos Estevão Ivan
Published: May 2022

Este trabalho se propõe a realizar uma interlocução entre a teoria e práxis de Nise da Silveira no que tange ao acolhimento institucional da psicose e as teorizações de Freud e Lacan quanto as possibilidades de estabilização frente à Verwerfung. Defendemos que Nise da Silveira, embora não fosse psicanalista, atuava em conformidade à ética psicanalítica ao assegurar ao psicótico a livre expressão.
Judith Butler y lo real, o la historia de un malentendido
Authors: Speziale Tomás , Indiana Muniagurria Mandela
Published: May 2022

Judith Butler ha puesto en cuestión, en diversos momentos de su obra, la operación por la cual el psicoanálisis –y, específicamente, la tradición lacaniana– borraría la historicidad de ciertos conceptos al postularlos como transhistóricos. El registro de “lo real”, tal como es articulado en el discurso de Jacques Lacan y sus sucesores, supondría, según Butler, el ocultamiento de su producción simbólica, epocal. Este escrito versa precisamente sobre algunos cuestionamientos específicos que la autora norteamericana le ha hecho a la tradición lacaniana en relación con el problema de la historicidad de los conceptos, centrándose en la discusión que ha desarrollado con el campo psicoanalítico en general, y la escuela eslovena en particular.

GÊNERO, PODER E UM SINALAGMA ATÉ ENTÃO EXTORQUIDO: O CONTRATO SEXUAL SILENCIADO PELAS TEORIAS DO CONTRATO SOCIAL
Authors: Gonçalves Raquel Cristina Possolo , Silva Bárbara Batalha da
Published: May 2022

As críticas feministas têm-se desenvolvido por meio de uma perspectiva em que se busca a libertação da mulher de sua subjugação histórica, advinda da desigualdade sistêmica em todos os âmbitos. Desigualdade essa relacionada tanto ao trabalho doméstico não remunerado, bem como quando comparada às posições hegemônicas de poder, ocupadas por aqueles que se apoderaram dos lugares de decisão. Os estudos de gênero têm avançado sobre discussões que incluem também outras formas de opressão, como a heteronormatividade, por exemplo. Em relação a esses questionamentos e à situação desigual da mulher em suas relações de trabalho, pretende-se demonstrar que essa desigualdade assenta-se na divisão sexual do trabalho. Para tanto, recorreremos às perspectivas filosóficas do contrato original, para elucidar a existência de um contrato sexual e apontar para possíveis rotas de fuga dessa estrutura desigual. Assim, percorreremos esse caminho por meio de quatro pontos: I) A desigualdade entre homens e mulheres no mercado de trabalho brasileiro - alguns dados; II) A duplicidade do contrato original: liberdade e subjugação; III) Heterossexualidade como norma e a proposta contrassexual; e IV) Considerações preliminares.
AS UNIÕES HOMOAFETIVAS E A “EQUIDADE” NO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL (STF): Uma análise desde a “Metafísica dos Costumes”, de Immanuel Kant e da “Teoria do Ordenamento Jurídico” de Norberto Bobbio
Authors: Canto Vanessa
Published: May 2022

Este trabalho discute alguns aspectos das decisões do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), desde o ano de 2011, no qual foi reconhecida a legitimidade das denominadas “uniões afetivas” enquanto entidade familiar. Em primeiro lugar, discute alguns aspectos do livro “Metafísica dos Costumes”, escrito por Immanuel Kant, notadamente, os conceitos de “busca da perfeição própria”, da “busca da virtude alheia” e da “totalidade”. Em segundo lugar, discute alguns aspectos do livro “Teoria do Ordenamento Jurídico”, escrito por Noberto Bobbio, notadamente, o problema da “estrutura” do ordenamento jurídico e das denominadas “antinomias”. Em terceiro lugar, analisa alguns aspectos da decisão que reconheceu as “uniões homoafetivas” enquanto entidade familiar e a decisão que equiparou “homofobia” e “transfobia” ao crime de racismo. Dessa forma, discutimos estes aspectos desde a Teoria do Direito. O objetivo consiste em discutir os “possíveis” efeitos dessas decisões no que se refere à ação dos “profissionais” do Direito e dos movimentos sociais na atualidade.
O HABEAS CORPUS NA PRISÃO ADMINISTRATIVA MILITAR
Authors: Filho Marcelo mousinho
Published: May 2022

O Habeas Corpus é o remédio constitucional que tutela a liberdade de locomoção da pessoa contra prisões ilegais e arbitrárias, previsto no art. 5º ´´LXVIII`` da Carta da República de 1988. O art. 142 da Carta Magna veda esse instrumento em caso de prisão disciplinar do militar, entretanto existe remota possibilidade de sua aplicação pelo magistrado quando ocorre ilegalidade ou lesão aos princípios da administração pública e requisitos do ato administrativo. Para que a prisão do militar seja legal, é necessário que o ato jurídico que a determina esteja em consonância com a lei e com os princípios da administração pública. Esse artigo tem por objetivos gerais compreender o conceito de Habeas Corpus e desenvolver ponderações sobre a sua história, fundamentação legal, características, competência, sujeitos envolvidos, requisitos para sua aplicação, dentre outros. Por objetivos específicos, tem-se identificar as hipóteses de deferimento e indeferimento do Habeas Corpus na prisão administrativa militar comparando julgados e normas do ordenamento jurídico pátrio referentes ao assunto. No que concerne aos procedimentos metodológicos foram realizadas análises qualitativas de dados através da pesquisa bibliográfica em fontes primárias como: legislação vigente e artigos disponibilizados na internet, e como técnica secundária foi utilizada: pesquisa, leitura e análise de livros, periódicos e jurisprudências acerca do assunto.
