ANALYZING INTERRELATION BETWEEN UNIVERSITY COMPETITIVENESS AND SOCIAL-ECONOMIC SITUATION IN REGIONS
Authors: Samoylov Mikhail A. , Smirnov Yuri I. , Riashchenko Viktorija P.
Published: June 2019

The article analyzes the interrelation between the level of social and economic development of Russian Federation entities and competitiveness of Russian universities. The information base for this analysis was formed by ratings of social and economic development of Russian Federation entities made by the rating agency ‘RIA Rating’ and the Top-100 of the best universities in Russia according to the rating agencies ‘Expert RA’ and ‘Interfax’. The rise in our universities’ appeal in Russia and abroad is an essential factor fostering social and economic development of our country. The improvement of Russian universities’ positions in international ratings can attract youth from different countries. The authors showed that sustainable social and economic development of Russian Federation entities is connected with the development of the competitive potential of universities located on the territory of these entities. At the same time the opposite statement is also correct: applicants prefer universities situated in big cities with high level of social and economic development rather than cities with low standard of life. Therefore, the authors recommend to intensify state support of Russian universities located in regions with low level of social and economic development and put forward various variants of state support.

Published: June 2019

Rapid response teams (RRTs) are essential to contain the harmful effects of emergency situations and to coordinate actions in the fragile environment of the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR). The Global Health Development and the Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network (EMPHNET) implemented RRTs to fill the human resources gap and to enable the member states to build their capacity in rapid assessment and response to public health events to reduce human suffering. To build the capacity of the member states in the field of rapid response and to build a strong team of rapid response specialists at the regional level, EMPHNET implemented this initiative at two levels. The first was a basic regional RRT course (July 2012). It was an introductory course for the selected candidates to provide insight and to enhance the knowledge and skills needed to be part of an RRT. The training included 32 participants from nine EMR countries. The course was designed to allow the facilitators and selection committee to select 15 to 20 potential candidates for the advanced RRT course. The second was the advanced RRT course (September 2010 to October 2012) for training the trainers and preparing the RRTs for deployment. A series of RRT training workshops were held, with more than 650 health staff from 12 countries trained. In all workshops that were conducted during 2016-2017, the trainees showed significant improvement in their knowledge and skills.
Práticas judiciárias no campo criminal e a construção das verdades na persecução penal: um debate a partir de Michel Foucault
Authors: Leitão Santos Bruno Cavalcante , França Júnior Francisco de Assis de , Rodrigues Santos Hugo Leonardo
Published: June 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal analisar criticamente práticas judiciárias emblemáticas no campo criminal e o seu papel na construção das verdadesque interessam à vigente persecução penal brasileira. Importa-nos discutir, por exemplo, se a exposição de pessoas presas e a busca pela confissão são instrumentos legítimos de um sistema que se anuncia como acusatório. O recorte dessa problemática, tão importante quanto complexa, será estruturado a partir de Michel Foucault, autor cujas escavaçõesconceituais nos permitem observar mais nitidamente as articulações realizadas pelo sistema oficial de controle rumo à manutenção de seu acentuado protagonismo no exercício do poder punitivo. As hipóteses utilizadas no desenvolvimento estão baseadas na ideia de que as midiáticas apresentações de pessoas presas e a busca pela confissão do investigado são elementos fundamentais nesse processo histórico de circularidade autoritária, mantendo-se atualmente circunstâncias absolutamente desrespeitosas de direitos e garantias constitucional e democraticamente estabelecidas.
La mediación penal y su prohibición en supuestos de violencia de género: modelo español
Authors: Álvarez Suárez Laura
Published: June 2019

Este trabajo pretende analizar la conveniencia o no de mantener la prohibición de mediación en delitos de violencia de género que establece el ordenamiento jurídico español. En España todavía no se han regulado procedimientos de justicia restaurativa en el ámbito penal, pero esto no ha sido impedimento para que el legislador excluyera la mediación en todos los supuestos de violencia de género, pese a las grandes críticas de la doctrina. Éstas han cobrado más fuerza que nunca tras el mandato europeo de instaurar mecanismos de justicia restaurativa penal, pues se considera que la nueva regulación debería ir acompañada de la derogación expresa de dicha prohibición. El estereotipo de víctima de violencia de género que establece la ley vigente permite aventurar que lo más adecuado sería abolir la prohibición y permitir que estas víctimas puedan someterse a un procedimiento mediador si es su voluntad y concurren una serie de presupuestos.
Furto de gado, ação penal e justiça não estatal: sobre o Nascimento da Ação Penal Pública Condicionada à Representação no Brasil (1860-1899)
Authors: Garro Lucas Ribeiro
Published: June 2019

O presente trabalho busca responder à seguinte questão:como o surgimento da ação penal pública condicionada à representação no Brasil se relaciona com as práticas de justiça não estatais vinculadas ao crime de furto de gado? Para tanto, buscacompreender o surgimento da ação pública condicionada à representação e sua relação com o crime de furto de gado, tendo por recorte temporal os anos de 1860, ano de nascimento deste crime, e 1899, ano em que esta ação deixa de ser aplicada a este delito. Esta análise levará em consideração o contexto jurídico nacional e o internacional, por meio de uma perspectiva histórico-comparada, contextualizando os discursos sobre esta ação e sobre crime de furto de gado no âmbito dos seus interlocutores nacionais e internacionais. Para tanto foram utilizadas ferramentas metodológicas próprias da história comparada do direito, como a inserção internacional do objeto de estudo para compreender a possível relação entre a ação penal pública condicionada e as práticas de negociação entre as partes. A partir dessas perspectivas, serão analisados os debates parlamentares e doutrinas nacionais e internacionais sobre ação penal.  Essas fontes têm revelado que a busca pela “publicização” da justiça penal no Brasil foi marcada por negociações, de forma que as práticas de justiça não estatais foram absorvidas e sobrepostas pela justiça estatal, mas não eliminadas.
Cooperação jurídica internacional na Operação “Lava Jato”: análise crítica a partir da diversidade entre os sistemas jurídicos nacionais.
Authors: Bechara Fábio Ramazzini , Smanio Gianpaolo Poggio , Girardi Karin Bianchini
Published: June 2019

O objetivo do artigo é analisar, a partir dos dados relativos aos casos de cooperação internacional na operação “Lava Jato”, qual ou quais as possíveis variáveis que teriam influenciado a postura mais proativa dos países na execução das solicitações de auxílio, apesar da diversidade entre os sistemas jurídicos. A hipótese é que o processo de internacionalização dos direitos humanos no sentido normativo, e das respectivas agendas temáticas, como lavagem de dinheiro, corrupção, crime organizado, dentre outros, incentivou a adoção de um padrão normativo que harmoniza o processo de interlocução e entendimento entre diferentes países.
Permanência, nacionalidade e residência do procurado como causa de não execução facultativa do Mandado de Detenção Europeu: o caso português
Authors: Rocha Jorge Bheron
Published: June 2019

Objetiva-se neste artigo estudar a causa de não execução facultativa do Mandado de Detenção Europeu (MDE) na hipótese de o procurado se encontrar no território do qual é nacional ou onde é residente, em especial o tratamento dado pelo Estado Português a estes casos. A pesquisa reveste-se de importância em razão de o MDE ser um instrumento surgido na esteira do mandado de detenção do Tribunal Penal Internacional, contrapondo-se às desvantagens da extradição, buscando a simplificação e a celeridade em face das dificuldades práticas da persecução penal ante a livre movimentação no território europeu de pessoas. Utilizam-se como fontes de análise as Decisões-Quadro do Conselho da União Europeia, a legislação portuguesa pertinente e a jurisprudência dos Tribunais portugueses e do Tribunal de Justiça da União Europeia. Serão analisados os requisitos objetivos e subjetivos, os limites da facultatividade, os contornos do compromisso assumido em decorrência da recusa, a necessidade de eventual adaptação da pena frente ao aparente conflito entre sua imutabilidade e a reserva de soberania do Estado Português, e a relação do instituto com o princípio do reconhecimento mútuo, convertido em pedra angular da cooperação judiciária, dentro do espaço único europeu de justiça, segurança e liberdade.
Cooperação internacional em matéria de lavagem de dinheiro: da importância do auxílio direto, dos tratados internacionais e os mecanismos de prevenção
Authors: Canestraro Anna Carolina
Published: June 2019

O presente estudo tem por objetivo trazer uma possível resposta às dificuldades que o contexto da criminalidade global trouxe para a persecução do crime de lavagem de dinheiro em razão de um cada vez mais deficiente controle sobre os fluxos financeiros, em especial no âmbito internacional. Isto é, haveria algum mecanismo à disposição do Estado que o permitiria realizar com mais eficiência e rapidez esse necessário follow the money típico dessa específica criminalidade? Como uma possível resposta elegeu-se aqui a Cooperação Internacional como um importante instrumento de persecução ao crime de lavagem de dinheiro; e, com fundamento nas recomendações do Grupo de Ação Financeira (GAFI), ressalta-se, dentre os mecanismos de cooperação, o auxílio direto como um eficaz e célere mecanismo para acompanhar a dinamicidade que exige a persecução desse crime. E, ao fim, destaca-se a importância da união desses mecanismos de cooperação a métodos preventivos, tais como as Unidades de Inteligência Financeira, para um eficiente combate à essa nova criminalidade.
A territorialidade no contexto da criminalidade global: considerações sobre a influência do ciberespaço na delimitação jurisdicional
Authors: Leonhardt dos Santos Daniel
Published: June 2019

O artigo desenvolve o problema estabelecido pelas novas tecnologias e o seu impacto para o direito, mais especificamente com a redução das distâncias e a facilitação de perpetração de condutas em territórios de múltiplos Estados. Problema cuja complexidade é ampliada pelo contexto de mundo global, de ampliação dos espaços de interação e de aproximação entre os indivíduos proporcionados pelo ciberespaço. O surgimento de novas tecnologias introduziu mudanças de necessário relevo à análise jurídica. Nesse contexto, buscamos responder à seguinte pergunta: as tradicionais categorias de territorialidade e de delimitação da jurisdição são suficientes para, no contexto internacional, resolver os complexos problemas introduzidos pela Internet? A partir da revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, e do amparo de casos selecionados, concluímos que a territorialidade, amparada pela extraterritorialidade e pela delimitação da lei penal no espaço, não é suficiente para a solução desses problemas; encontrando-se, na jurisdição prerrogativa, a principal barreira de atuação do poder estatal em âmbito internacional.

Authors: Gonzatti da Silva Ana Paula
Published: June 2019

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo saber se é necessário recorrer aos mecanismos de cooperação jurídica internacional para obtenção de dados que se encontram sob controle de provedores de aplicação de internet estabelecidos no exterior. Para tanto, inicialmente, traça-se um breve panorama da cooperação jurídica internacional (do que e por que se fala). Após, busca-se saber quais são os parâmetros para que uma pessoa jurídica esteja sob determinada circunscrição jurisdicional, de modo a definir se será ou não necessário ativar os mecanismos interetáticos. Em seguida, aborda-se, mais precisamente, aspectos do auxílio direto entre Brasil e Estados Unidos e as especificidades na legislação americana relativas à proteção de divulgação de dados. Faz-se, diante do cenário trabalhado, ponderações críticas caso os trâmites de cooperação jurídica internacional não sejam seguidos. Em um último momento, busca-se trazer propostas para que os ditames do direito internacional, em especial a soberania, sejam respeitados.
La protección de las víctimas de violencia de género en la Unión Europea. Especial referencia al reconocimiento mutuo de medidas de protección en materia civil
Authors: Etxebarria Estankona Katixa
Published: June 2019

Las cifras de violencia de género son sobrecogedoras. Ante esta realidad, la Unión Europea no ha permanecido impasible y, aunque no cuenta con una base legal específica para actuar en el área de la violencia de género, ello no ha sido un obstáculo para luchar contra esta lacra, en tanto que elemento necesario para promover un espacio de Libertad, Seguridad y Justicia. Con ese espíritu, en los últimos años se han adoptado instrumentos normativos para garantizar que las víctimas se puedan mover libremente en el Espacio de Libertad, Seguridad y Justicia, y a hacerlo protegidas. La Directiva 2011/99/EU, sobre la Orden Europea de Protección, y el Reglamento 606/2013 relativo al reconocimiento mutuo de medidas de protección en materia civil, son muestra de ello. Ambos instrumentos, a través del principio de reconocimiento mutuo, garantizan el reconocimiento y ejecución en todo el territorio de la Unión de las medidas de protección de víctimas dictadas por un Estado miembro. Ambas normas regulan las mismas medidas y tienen prácticamente los mismos objetivos, pero con mecanismos de reconocimiento diferentes. En este trabajo examinamos el sistema de protección creado y enfocamos nuestro análisis en el Reglamento 606/2013, instrumento de cooperación judicial en materia civil y básicamente concebido como complemento de la orden europea de protección regulada por la Directiva 2011/99/EU.
A implementação da Procuradoria Europeia – a emergência de um modelo de intervenção penal entre a cooperação e a integração penal?
Authors: Santos Margarida
Published: June 2019

A intervenção penal da União Europeia tem sido marcada por um movimento de expansão, de intensificação “acelerada” e de proliferação de instrumentos jurídicos, sobretudo a partir do Tratado de Lisboa, acentuando as lógicas do reconhecimento mútuo, da cooperação e da harmonização. A União Europeia está a um passo de dar início a um exercício transnacional da ação penal, através da publicação do Regulamento (UE) 2017/1939 do Conselho, de 12 de outubro de 2017, que dá execução a uma cooperação reforçada para a instituição da Procuradoria Europeia. Partindo da evolução e das metamorfoses sentidas na intervenção penal na União Europeia, sobretudo a partir do Tratado de Lisboa, que se pretendem dar conta num primeiro momento, pretende-se no presente trabalho sobretudo compreender o sentido e o alcance do Regulamento da Procuradoria Europeia, captando o novo modelo de intervenção penal que se perfilha no horizonte. Estaremos a um passo da integração penal, ou a materialização da Procuradoria Europeia dá apenas mais um passo neste caminho? Qual o seu contributo para um verdadeiro sistema de justiça penal? E neste caminho, deve a Procuradoria Europeia ver o seu âmbito alargado a determinados “crimes graves com dimensão transfronteiriça”?
Policies of International Friendship in Judicial Cooperation in Criminal Matters: The Non-Extradition of Brazilian and Portuguese Nationals to Third States – A Comparison with EU Law
Authors: Costa Miguel João
Published: June 2019

This article addresses different implications of nationality in international cooperation in criminal matters, especially in extradition law. Most States, particularly of the civil law tradition, have a longstanding practice not to deliver their own citizens to foreign criminal justice systems. This article begins by reviewing the rationales of the classic nationality exception and contrasts it with the approach of States of the common law tradition, which have no objections of principle to extraditing their own nationals. It then looks into the extradition relations between Brazil and Portugal, following which it provides a brief critical appraisal of the adequacy of the nationality exception in an increasingly globalised world. With these foundational issues settled, the article moves on to questioning what are the effects of interstate affinity upon extradition. It concludes that, in addition to (immediate or direct) effects between the States involved, affinity can also have meaningful (indirect) implications to third States: States which are linked by peculiar (historical, legal, political) bonds sometimes refuse to extradite each other’s nationals to other States. In this regard, the article analyses of the state affairs among the Member States of the European Union following the groundbreaking case law initiated by the Court of Justice in 2016, and compares this recent legal development with the regime that has been in place between Brazil and Portugal since 1971.
Reabilitação e transferência internacional de prisioneiros e pessoas sujeitas a medidas restritivas e penas alternativas: uma questão problemática para a cooperação judiciária na UE em matéria penal
Authors: Montaldo Stefano
Published: June 2019

O artigo analisa a função da noção de reabilitação dos condenados nos mecanismos de cooperação judiciária da União Europeia, com especial ênfase nas transferências internacionais. Em primeiro lugar, fornece-se uma visão geral da abordagem da ordem jurídica da UE e do sistema da Convenção Europeia de Direitos Humanos sobre este tema. Argumenta-se que a reabilitação dos condenados é uma noção cada vez mais importante em nível supranacional, capaz de impor deveres progressivamente mais restritivos às autoridades policiais domésticas. Em segundo lugar, analisa-se a forma como os objetivos de reabilitação afetam as escolhas normativas subjacentes à Decisão-Quadro 2008/909/GAI, relativa às transferências de reclusos entre os Estados-Membros e à Decisão-Quadro 2008/947/GAI, relativa ao reconhecimento mútuo de medidas de vigilância e penas alternativas. O artigo sustenta que a reabilitação dos condenados ainda está buscando um papel claro na ordem jurídica da UE, como demonstrado pela recente jurisprudência do Tribunal de Justiça. Em particular, o funcionamento dos mecanismos de cooperação judiciária e as orientações jurisprudenciais fornecidas pelo Tribunal confirmam que este objetivo da punição tem relação com a plena eficácia do direito da UE e com a vontade oculta dos Estados-Membros de utilizarem as transferências transfronteiras como um instrumento de controle de mobilidade interna na UE.

Besides learning outcomes, motivation and problem solving skill are the essential indicators for successful learning. Hence, the existence of learning media which considerably follow the advance of technology has been assumed to be able to support the achievement of the indicators mentioned. Thus, the current research aimed at implementing the Augmented Reality (AR) technology to improve students’ problem solving skill, motivation, and learning outcomes. The sample was 56 of eighth graders which covered the both control and experimental classes. This quasi experimental research employed test and observation sheet as the instruments. The data was analyzed using one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The ANCOVA test results showed that were significance differences of the three indicators (problem solving skills, motivation, and learning outcomes) achieved, in which the experimental class was higher than control class. In conclusion, the AR can influence students’ problem solving skills, motivation, and learning outcomes.

The issues arise in performing laboratory hands-on activity are: the less frequence in its implementation, the lack of students interest, the limited in time, and lack of preparation. By considering the importance of laboratory hands-on activity, it is necessary to examine the conditions of the hands-on activity in school whether the activity has been in accordance with the existing rules and standards. This study aimed to determine the implementation of biology hands-on activity in students’ grade XI of SSHS 10-Pekanbaru. The population in this study was 144 students. The sampling technique used were Slovin formula and purposive sampling, in which the sample was 60 students of class XI MIPA-1 to MIPA-4. The instruments used to collect the data in this study were questionnaires, observation sheets, and interviews. The results showed that the for 4 indicators observed (i.e. hands-on activity intensity, students’ interest in hands-on activity, hands-on activity duration, and hands-on activity preparation) reached the percentages between 76.14% and 80.66%, which were in the good category. Thus, it can be concluded that this school has been conducting a good hands-on activity. It is suggested for further researchers to focus on problems analysis and alternative solutions

Aim.To generalize and present current data on the development of approaches to hemorrhoidectomy, as well as to analyse the function of the rectal closing apparatus after surgery.

Key findings.The haemorrhoid disease is one of the most common human diseases and the most common reason for visiting a coloproctologist. In Russia, the prevalence of haemorrhoids amounts to 130–145 people per 1,000 adult population, with its proportion in the structure of colon diseases varying from 34 to 41 %. Minimally invasive methods for treating such conditions have been shown to be effective in patients with 1–3 stage haemorrhoids. However, these methods have shown little value at stage 4 hemorrhoids, largely because they fail to affect all parts of the disease pathogenesis. Thus, hemorrhoidectomy remains to be the “gold standard” for stage 4 hemorrhoids treatment, which is aimed at eliminating the three main vascular collectors. Hemorrhoidectomy is accompanied by the risk of stricture and postoperative anal sphincter failure. In this regard, it is necessary to assess the functional state of the rectal closing apparatus after hemorrhoidectomy. Improving hemorrhoidectomy, for example, by the use of an ultrasonic scalpel, allows the hemorrhoidectomy to be performed without additional sewing of vessels and coagulation, and the injury of the anal sphincter to be minimized.

Conclusion. The possibility of injuring the anal sphincter is a serious problem in anal surgery. Anal sphincter incontinence is a serious illness that exacerbates the patients’ social life. Unfortunately, the issue of anal sphincter incontinence after hemorrhoidectomy is under-investigated, resulting in few rehabilitation programs.
The Role of E-Cadherin in the Assessment of Esophageal Mucosal Damage in Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome
Authors: Shaukovich Y. Ya.
Published: June 2019

Aim. To evaluate the E-cadherin content in the blood plasma of individuals with suffering from both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and GERD combined with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).

Materials and methods. 120 patients with GERD and/or OSAHS were examined. All the patients underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy with the biopsy of the lower third of the esophagus in order to perform GERD morphological verification. The diagnostics of respiratory disorders during sleeping was performed using computer pulse oximetry. Group 1 (n = 29) consisted of GERD patients, group 2 (n = 35) of patients with GERD in combination with OSAHS, group 3 (n = 30) of patients with OSAHS, group 4 (n = 26) was the comparison group. The concentration of E-cadherin in the blood plasma was determined using enzyme immunoassay.

Results. There were no statistically significant differences in the plasma level of the N-terminal E-cadherin fragment between GERD patients and the comparison group (0.207 (0.128; 0.295) and 0.128 (0.067; 0.281) ng/ml, respectively, p = 0.082). However, the patients with erosive esophagitis were characterized by a higher content of E-cadherin in the blood plasma than those of the comparison group (0.284 (0.176; 0.858) and 0.128 (0.067; 0.281) ng/ml,  respectively, p = 0.03). In patients with GERD and OSAHS, statistically significantly higher plasma concentrations of E-cadherin were observed as compared to GERD patients (0.379 (0.277; 0.538) and 0.2007 (0.128; 0.295) ng/ml,  respectively, p = 0.017). A positive dependence of E-cadherin concentration in the blood plasma on the apnea/hypopnea index was found (r = 0.43, p <0.05).

Conclusions. OSAHS negatively affects the state of histoarchitecture of the esophageal mucosa of GERD patients, as evidenced by an increase in N-terminal E-cadherin in the blood plasma and may indicate a loss of E-cadherin in the esophageal mucosa with the development of an impaired function of tight junctions.

Aim. To improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with esophageal diverticulum of various localization using intraoperative intraluminal endoscopy.

Materials and Methods: The Department of Surgery of the Esophagus and Stomach, the Petrovsky National Research Centre of Surgery, has accumulated a large experience in treating diverticulosis patients. Thus, during the 2010–2018 period, 74 patients with esophageal diverticula of various localization were operated. Out of them, 56 (75.7 %), 10 (13.5 %) and 8 (10.8 %) patients underwent surgical treatment with respect to faringo-esophageal, bifurcation and epiphrenic diverticula, respectively. The patients were divided into two groups: 31 people (41.9 %) in the main group underwent diverticulectomy with intraoperative intraluminal endoscopic assistance (IVEA), while 43 (58.1 %) people in the control group underwent diverticulectomy without IVEA. Intraoperatively, at the stage of discovering diverticulum, the endoscopist applied transillumination and air insufflation in the cavity of the diverticulum, followed by controlling the mobilization of diverticulum. At the resection stage, the completeness of the surgical removal was controlled, along with the absence of esophageal lumen narrowing after sewing the neck of the diverticulum using a linear stapler.

Results. The average duration of the operation in patients with Zenker’s diverticula and those in the control group was 45.5 ± 8.8 min and 73.8 ± 12.7 min (p < 0.05), respectively. In patients with the diverticula of the middle and lower third of the esophagus, the average surgery duration was equal to 120.3 ± 11.2 min and 150.5 ± 17.3 (p <0.05) min in the main and control groups, respectively. Radiological examination 2–3 days after surgery revealed no complications in the main group. In the control group, 2 (4.7 %) patients showed a small leakage of the contrast agent outside the esophagus (stopped conservatively). Signs of mild dysphagia when taking solid foods were detected in 1 (2.4 %) patient of the control group. This condition was associated with excessive ingress of the esophageal wall into the apparatus suture, which led to a slight narrowing of its lumen. No patients with dysphagia in the postoperative period were recorded in the main group.

Conclusion: The combination of surgical treatment of esophageal diverticula with IVEA allows the duration of surgery to be optimized, deformation of the esophageal lumen to be avoided, possible complications to be minimized, thereby improving the results of surgical treatment.
