The Modern Republican Party in Florida
Authors: Dunbar Peter , Haridopolos Mike
Published: October 2021

The Modern Republican Party in Florida chronicles the emergence of the modern Republican Party in Florida. It provides the historic political foundation for the modern political era in Florida; it identifies the key elements of Republican Party organizations and structures that became the foundation for the current Republican network; and it contrasts the current political environment to the one-party era of the Democratic Pork Chop Gang. The narrative of the book describes the successes in the state-wide campaigns for governor and for positions on the Florida Cabinet. It provides an overview of the role of both Florida Republicans in national, presidential politics and Floridians serving in the United States House and Senate. It describes the decennial redistricting struggles and other obstacles that Republicans overcame as they became the majority in both Houses of the state Legislature, and it discusses the opportunities for women and minorities that accompanied this Republican emergence. Within the narrative are descriptions of the changes in state government made by Republicans or with their bipartisan cooperation. The book also provides an overview of the Republican influence on the state policies for public education and school choice; criminal justice and prison reform; taxation and business incentives; and consumer protection and environment preservation, including the protection of the Florida Everglades. The book identifies the officeholders, volunteers, and party officials who contributed to, and became part of, the Republican network. It also discusses the ever-changing elements of the Florida political arena, which includes voters with no party affiliation, soft money committees, and independent campaign consultants.
TRIBUNAIS ONLINE

Published: October 2021

O presente estuda visa analisar o uso da Inteligência Artificial nos Juizados Especiais Cíveis por meio do aprofundamento do estudo da Lei nº 13.994/20 que alterou em parte a Lei nº 9.099/95 e explicar como a pandemia ocasionada pela Covid-19 contribuiu para a implantação de novas tecnologias nos tribunais de forma urgente e muitas vezes desregrada. Porquanto, tais alterações não foram acompanhadas da adequação dos órgãos judiciais com o desenvolvimento da correta infraestrutura para atendimento das necessidades dos indivíduos, o que por vezes fere os direitos fundamentais e se torna dissonante do modelo processual sincrético que se consolidou após a redemocratização do país.

A LEGALIDADE DA AVALIAÇÃO PSICOLÓGICA
Authors: Gonçalves Claudiron
Published: October 2021

A Avaliação Psicológica para concurso público é objeto de inúmeras controvérsias, mormente, em função de uma confusão conceitual de implicações práticas desastrosas. Trata-se do equívoco, mesmo por parte dos profissionais de Psicologia, em tomar a Testagem Psicológica por Avaliação. Não obstante, poucos são os trabalhos no âmbito jurídico que tratam a respeito da diferença entre esses dois processos, bem como de suas resultâncias. Destarte, precipuamente, buscou-se, neste trabalho, demonstrar que a substituição da Avaliação Psicológica pela Testagem, no referido contexto, constitui vício de legalidade. Como objetivos específicos, fitou-se: demonstrar a natureza jurídica do Conselho Federal de Psicologia (CFP); demonstrar a legitimidade e legalidade das normas expedidas pelo CFP; diferenciar a Avaliação Psicológica da Testagem; demonstrar a legalidade da Avaliação Psicológica e, como decorrência, a ilegalidade da Testagem Psicológica para exame psicológico de concurso público. À consecução dos objetivos colimados, realizou-se uma análise teórica da literatura no âmbito da ciência psicológica, legislação e da jurisprudência, e procedeu-se dedutivamente à evidenciação das respectivas consequências. Concluiu-se ser a Avaliação Psicológica o único processo com previsão legal para ser usado pela Administração Pública na seleção de candidatos a cargo público, resultando sua suplência em ilegalidade.

Association Rules Analysis between Brand Post Characteristics and Consumer Engagement on Social Media
Authors: Zhao Zhijie , Liu Yang , Wang Jiaying , Wang Biao , Guo Yiqi
Published: October 2021

Brands are increasingly using social media to create and manage posts to initiate and maintain consumer engagement. Based on the theory of consumer engagement, a perspective of brand post content, form and posting time is introduced to construct a conceptual model of consumer engagement for Sina Weibo. Rough set method and reduction algorithm of Holte 1 R are used to automatically generate the optimal decision rules. Rough set method does not need any prior knowledge and assumptions, which could effectively overcome the disadvantages of traditional statistical methods. The results show that entertainment content is easy to trigger moderate level of consumer engagement, the effect of information content on shares is significantly stronger than that of comments and likes, and the promotion content has an impact on liking. As the most vivid and the most interactive characteristic respectively, videos and questions significantly affect the mid-level consumer engagement. Keeping post length in the range of 16–50 characters stimulates the medium degree of sharing. Posts created on weekend promote the medium level of sharing and the low level of liking, while published at the peak or low peak period trigger the same level of sharing, but do not affect comments or likes. The study detects the characteristics that affect consumer engagement and define the scope of its role. The relationship and intensity of different characteristics on different levels of consumer engagement are effectively evaluated and identified by refining the association rules of consumer engagement, which are available for providing reference for brand managers to formulate social media marketing strategies.
Elements of Völkerpsychologie in Hermann Cohen’s Mature Ethical Idealism
Authors: Widmer Elisabeth ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

This paper challenges the hitherto common distinction between Hermann Cohen’s early phase of Völkerpsychologie and his later phase as a critical idealist. Recently, it has been claimed that Cohen’s turn was not a rapid conversion but a development that was already inherent to his early view. This paper argues that even in Cohen’s mature critical idealism, a thin basis of Völkerpsychologie continues to exist. Cohen’s critical programme is presented as having a twofold aim: On the one hand, it strives to give an account of pure, formal, and logical laws that regulate critical thinking; on the other hand, it offers a reading of Kant’s dualism between matter and form that allows critical thinking to be seen as inevitably embedded in causal laws of psychology, history, and physiology. Concerning the latter, the paper argues that Cohen remained in the tradition of Völkerpsychologie in his mature ethical thought.
Understanding Husserl’s Language of Essences: Hermeneutical Observations on Translation in Phenomenology
Authors: Heffernan George
Published: October 2021

Husserl describes phenomenology as an eidetic science (Wesenswissenschaft), whose practitioners experience intuitions of essences or eidetic intuitions (Wesenserschauungen), establish eidetic knowledge or knowledge of essences (Wesenserkenntnisse), and express judgments about essences or eidetic judgments (Wesensurteile). There are two different ways of translating the technical terms here, substantivally with essence and adjectivally with eidetic. The substantival approach indicates that phenomenology focuses on essences as its thematic objects; the adjectival approach intimates that phenomenology articulates eidetic aspects of objects. In Husserl’s major work, Ideas on a Pure Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy I, the language of essences sometimes dominates, and the eidetic vocabulary sometimes prevails. The nuanced duality is reflected in the classic work on specialized translation in phenomenology, Dorion Cairns’s Guide for Translating Husserl. This paper focuses on a hermeneutical aspect of the problem and shows that the translator of a specialized language is faced with a series of translational decisions on how to render the technical terms involved, that is, decisions on the best transition from the source text to the target text, on the relationships between earlier and later translations, on the authority and authorization of the author of the source text for the target text, and on over-determination (consistency) and under-determination (ingenuity). It suggests that in phenomenology how one translates is a function of how one understands, and that how one understands is a function of how one translates. It proposes that the two ways of translating and understanding are not mutually exclusive but that it is possible to accommodate both of them. A failure to grasp the distinction generates misunderstanding of Husserl’s eidetic science and doctrine of essences.

Published: October 2021

Nemastoma bidentatum Roewer, 1914 is a complex of closely related litter-dwelling harvestmen, characterized by a penis glans with two pairs of lateral lancet-like spines, and a femur IV with a saw-like series of pointed tubercles. Here we a) revise the hitherto known taxa within the N. bidentatum complex, and b) analyze in detail the relations among the taxa in Slovenia. The study revealed that the N. bidentatum complex consists of four species: N. bidentatum Roewer, 1914 s. str., N. relictum Gruber & Martens, 1968 stat. nov., N. pluridentatum (Hadži, 1973) stat. nov. and N. kozari Novak, Kozel, Podlesnik & Raspotnig sp. nov. Moreover, N. bidentatum s. str. consists of six subspecies: N. bidentatum bidentatum Roewer, 1914, N. bidentatum sparsum Gruber & Martens, 1968, N. bidentatum gruberi Novak, Slana Novak, Kozel & Raspotnig ssp. nov., N. bidentatum martensi Novak, Slana Novak & Raspotnig ssp. nov., N. bidentatum schmidti Novak, Raspotnig & Slana Novak ssp. nov. and N. bidentatum sneznikensis Novak, Komposch, Slana Novak & Raspotnig ssp. nov. In Slovenia, the six subspecies of N. bidentatum form a parapatric complex around N. bidentatum schmidti. Hybrids occur in the contact zones between adjacent subspecies, but they are missing between distant subspecies. The taxonomic distinction of lineages / subspecies is congruent with their distribution patterns. With six of the nine taxa present, Slovenia is considered the center of the N. bidentatum complex speciation. At the time being, this complex is the most diversified harvestman group on a subspecific and young-species level and provides important details on speciation processes in Opiliones.

Authors: Milanović-Dobrota Biljana , Đurić-Zdravković Aleksandra , Japundža-Milisavljević Mirjana , Vidojković Sara
Published: October 2021

In spite of the legal framework intended for the promotion and protection of rights of the disabled, such persons are still facing significant difficulties in the labour market. Intellectually disabled persons are in a particularly difficult position, primarily due to the negative perceptions held by citizenry which stem from the lack of knowledge and information about their labour potentials. We conducted research in order to determine the most prevalent obstacles in the employment of intellectually disabled persons, as perceived by employed non-disabled persons. The research comprised a sample of 269 subjects of both sexes, of differing educational levels and employed in the private and public sector in the Republic of Serbia. The analysis of the attained results points to the need for certain kinds of educational interventions, whose programmes would improve the knowledge and awareness of employed persons regarding the right to work of intellectually disabled persons, promote diversity and create an inclusive working environment. The different modes of training, reinterpretation and transformation of previous experience, informing and establishing positive contacts with intellectually disabled persons, conducted by a multidisciplinary team of experts would establish a stable base for the removal of obstacles in the employment process.
SARS-CoV-2: Genetic variability, mutations and variants of concern for the global world
Authors: Ćupić Maja
Published: October 2021

Since emerging from Wuhan, China, in December of 2019, the novel coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 has been causing devastating severe respiratory infections in human population worldwide. The new emerging disease was called COVID-19 and, as early as the beginning of 2020, the world found itself in a COVID 19 pandemic. Despite the slow evolutionary rate of SARS-CoV-2 relative to other RNA viruses, its massive and rapid transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic has enabled it to acquire significant genetic diversity since it first entered the human population. This led to the emergence of numerous variants, some of them recently being labeled, "variants of concern" (VOC). Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants can be problematic if one or more of the independent mutations result in changes that make the virus more pathogenic, resistant to treatment, able to escape vaccines, or able to evade diagnostic tests. So far, four VOCs have been globally recognized (Alpha or B.1.1.7, Beta or B.1.351, Gamma or P.1 and newly recognized as VOC Delta or lineage B.1.617.2), and areas of the emerging variant of concern first time observed are United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil, and India, respectively. Notable variants are those that contain mutations within the S gene, particularly within the region that codes for the receptor-binding domain (RBD) that recognize and attach the specific ACE2 cell receptor. These mutations are responsible for increased viral transmission and influence disease severity, reliability of clinical tests as well as vaccine and therapy efficacy. The characteristics of VOCs and their mutational patterns indicate the necessity of permanent close monitoring on a global level.
Treatment of critically ill COVID-19 patients: Practical guidelines
Authors: Stevanović Predrag
Published: October 2021

The coronavirus disease pandemic (2019) has burdened health systems around the world with a large number of severe patients in a short period of time. According to the law of large numbers, a significant number of critically ill COVID-19 patients appear in such conditions which require treatment in the intensive care unit. That percentage of those patients is around 3 - 5% in different countries. It is similar in Serbia; however, every rule has its exceptions. KBC "Dr Dragiša Mišović-Dedinje" in Belgrade has been determined to take care of the most difficult COVID-19 patients since the beginning of the epidemic due to its space, organizational and personnel possibilities. Out of the total number of patients treated in KBC "Dr Dragiša Mišović-Dedinje", about 25% of patients were treated in the intensive care unit for the above mentioned reasons. Guided by valid treatment protocols, Anesthesiology and Intensive Care clinic of the KBC "Dr Dragiša Mišović-Dedinje" has developed its own work protocols for rapid diagnosis, isolation and clinical management of such difficult patients. These protocols are important not only for the treatment of the most severe COVID-19 patients, but also for the best utilization of hospital resources, as well as for the prevention of the spread of the infection to the medical staff. Extensive experience in the treatment of critically ill patients was gained from the entire engagement during the epidemic, experienced doctors, anesthesiologists-intensivists with great knowledge in the field of work in the intensive care unit, but also managers of clinics and institutions, who can share their experience with health care policy makers. It is clear that in the future, the capacities and organization of work in the field of intensive care medicine should be redefined, as well as health workers should be trained to work in the most demanding field of medicine. Expert experience in the form of practical guidelines, derived from over fourteen months of continuous work in the red zone of COVID-19, where they fought for every breath of the patient, in this review are translated into simplified guidelines for orientation of those who find themselves in a similar situation.
Right of apartment/condominium owners on the land on which the building is located in the context of conversion of the right of use into the right of ownership on the construction land
Authors: Cvetić Radenka
Published: October 2021

Initially the paper recalls that the apartment/condominium ownership is a complex legal construct, which, as a special form of ownership, is the legal institute of modern age. Thereupon, the reasons underlying its legal recognition and widespread use have been indicated, taking into account its deviations from the general ownership regime. Complexity of the apartment/condominium ownership stems from its specific object. Namely, three components of this legal construct: the right on the separate unite of the building (which could be in the the exclusive ownership, co-ownership or in joint ownership), the right on the joint parts of the building (in joint ownership of apartment owners), and the right on the land on which the building is located (in co-ownership of apartment owners), should be normatively shaped and systematically coordinated. Special attention has been paid to the right on the land, from the viewpoint of its peculiarity during the development of a legal system in Serbia after the World War II. The process of conversion, i.e. transformation of the right of use into the right of ownership in Serbia has begun in 2009 by entering into force of the still applicable Planning and Building Act. Evolution of the regulation of the rights of apartment/condominium owners on the land on which the building was erected (including the land which serves for its regular use), from 2009 to 2020, has been examined in detail in the light of its adequacy and capacity to contribute to the (re)establishing of the legal unity of the immovable property, as well as to the prevention of contentious situations.

Background/Aims: Covered self-expandable metallic stents (CMSs) are widely used for malignant distal biliary obstructions (MDBOs) caused by pancreatic carcinoma. This study compared the efficacy and safety of the laser-cut-type and braided-type CMSs.Methods: To palliate MDBOs caused by pancreatic carcinoma, the laser-cut-type CMSs was used from April 2014 to March 2017, and the braided-type CMSs was used from April 2017 to March 2019. The tested self-expandable metallic stents were equipped with different anti-migration systems.Results: In total, 47 patients received CMSs for MDBOs (24 laser-cut type, 23 braided-type). The time to recurrent biliary obstruction (TRBO) was significantly longer in the braided-type CMSs (p=0.0008), and the median time to stent dysfunction or patient death was 141 and 265 days in the laser-cut-type CMSs and braided-type CMSs, respectively (p=0.0023). Stent migration was the major cause of stent dysfunction in both groups, which occurred in 37.5% of the laser-cut-type CMSs and 13.0% of the braidedtype CMSs. There were no differences in the survival duration between the groups.Conclusions: The TRBO was significantly longer for the braided-type CMSs with an anti-migration system than for the laser-cuttype. Stent migration tended to be less frequent with the braided-type CMSs than with the laser-cut-type CMSs.
A practical approach to nasal reconstruction in Asian patients
Authors: Koh In Suk , Sun Hook
Published: October 2021

Background: The study aimed to evaluate nasal reconstruction techniques customized for Asians. The currently available nasal reconstruction guidelines are based on Caucasian patients, and their applicability is limited in Asian patients due to differences in anatomical and structural features.Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of the medical records of 76 patients who underwent nasal reconstruction at a single center between January 2010 and June 2020. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted of patients’ baseline demographics and clinical characteristics, including age, sex, medical history, defect size and location, reconstructive procedure, pathological diagnosis, postoperative complications, and recurrence.Results: In 59 cases (77%), nasal defects resulted from tumor ablation, and the remaining 17 cases involved post-traumatic (20%) and infection-induced (3%) tissue damage. The most common defect location was the alae, followed by the sidewalls, tip, and dorsum. Forehead flaps were the most commonly used reconstructive technique, followed by nasolabial advancement flaps, rotation flaps, and skin grafts. Each procedure was applied considering aspects of structural anatomy and healing physiology specific to Asians. Complications included nasal deformity, hypertrophic scarring, secondary infection, and partial flap necrosis, but no cases required additional surgical procedures. Tumors recurred in two cases, but tumor recurrence did not significantly affect flap integrity.Conclusion: Nasal reconstruction techniques applied considering Asians’ facial features resulted in fewer postoperative complications and higher patient satisfaction than the approaches that are currently in widespread use. Therefore, this study is expected to serve as an essential reference for establishing treatment guidelines for nasal reconstruction in Asians.

Reading literacy as functional literacy, i.e. the ability to understand and use written text, is alarming for students from disadvantaged backgrounds in Slovakia. In relation to children from less favourable backgrounds, the Slovak education system has long been unable to adequately compensate for educational inequalities determined by social origin. The most important stimuli affect children before they enter primary school. The study presents selected research on supporting child readers within the context of the family, based mainly on foreign sources, where this research has a rich tradition. Factors in the so-called home literacy environment, especially reading together or so-called dialogic reading of a parent with a child, as well as the size of the family library, were identified as particularly important. At the end of the paper, the possibilities of socio-pedagogical intervention are outlined.

Two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy (2DCS) diagnoses a material’s nonlinear optical response with multiple time variables, thus offering information that is inaccessible with conventional linear optical spectroscopy. The 2DCS in the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet frequency range has yielded fruitful results in chemistry and biology. In the terahertz (THz) frequency window, 2DCS has shown its promise in the study of strongly-correlated electronic systems. As a guide to this rapidly developing field, we survey the current status of the theory of THz-2DCS in strongly-correlated electronic systems. We then introduce the basic concepts and theoretical methods of 2DCS, and analyze the main characteristics of the two-dimensional spectra. Finally, we summarize our latest theoretical research in this field.

Authors: Hofmann Simon M , Klotzsche Felix , Mariola Alberto , Nikulin Vadim , Villringer Arno , Gaebler Michael
Published: October 2021

Immersive virtual reality (VR) enables naturalistic neuroscientific studies while maintaining experimental control, but dynamic and interactive stimuli pose methodological challenges. We here probed the link between emotional arousal, a fundamental property of affective experience, and parieto-occipital alpha power under naturalistic stimulation: 37 young healthy adults completed an immersive VR experience, which included rollercoaster rides, while their EEG was recorded. They then continuously rated their subjective emotional arousal while viewing a replay of their experience. The association between emotional arousal and parieto-occipital alpha power was tested and confirmed by (1) decomposing the continuous EEG signal while maximizing the comodulation between alpha power and arousal ratings and by (2) decoding periods of high and low arousal with discriminative common spatial patterns and a long short-term memory recurrent neural network. We successfully combine EEG and a naturalistic immersive VR experience to extend previous findings on the neurophysiology of emotional arousal towards real-world neuroscience.

Published: October 2021

Modern-day intensive strawberry cultivation relies on huge application of inorganic fertilizers, which not only disrupt the balance of nature but also reduce the economic efficiency; however, it cannot be eliminated at this time without drastically decreasing its production. Hence, to tackle these problems for sustainable production of crops, bio-fertilizers and organic manures are the best alternatives. The principle of this review is based on the goal of reducing synthetic fertilizers and other chemical input usage in strawberry production. The review discusses the diffuse nature of current reports in the literature concerning microbes as inputs towards a better use efficiency of fertilizers and the possibility of reducing the total amount of fertilizer usage and sustainable and quality strawberry production. Studies with bio-inoculants in combination with inorganic nutrients have proved that some inoculants such as Azotobactor, Azospirillum, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Mycorrhizae fungi Aspergillus and Penicillium can increase the nutrient uptake of strawberry plant and increased fertilizers use efficiency. Biofertilizers in combination with inorganic fertilizers and organic manures have significant impact on plant growth (i.e., state some of the parameters here), yield (i.e., state some of the parameters here) and quality (i.e., state some of the parameters here). Likewise, organic manures improve soil physical conditions and supply all essential macro elements and microelements. These confirmations of concept studies will serve as the basis for vigorous future research into integrated nutrient management in strawberry.

Present article deals with the pharmacognostic specification of selected medicinal plants used in veterinary products for the purpose of their standardization, as evidential support concerning quality determination of plant material in veterinary medicine is scarce and there is poor documentation on primary studies of many species. The plants undertaken for the study were Calotropis procera (Apocynaceae) and Tribulus terresteris (Zygophyllaceae) on the basis of their usage relevance in veterinary products. Both plants are official in Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India.  Morphology as well as various pharmacognostic aspects of different parts of the plant were studied and have been described, which will help in authentication and quality control. The observed microscopic characters of Calotropis procera leaf were rubiaceous type apostomatic stomata, epidermis, collenchymas, parenchyma, vascular bundles, palisade cells, cortical fibres and lamina, trichomes on the cuticle of lamina. Microscopic characteristics of Tribulus terrestris fruit were epicarp cells showing clusters of calcium oxalate crystals, xylem vessels, group of thin walled sclerenchymatous fibres, group of stone cells of mesocarp. Powder microscopy of the Tribulus terrestris fruit shows abundance of epidermal trichomes - simple, short, long, thick walled, multicellular covered trichomes, sclereids. The qualitative microscopic features would prove useful for laying down their pharmacopoeial standards. The present study also provides the information with respect to identification and authentication of crude drug and serves as a reference point for the proper identification of Calotropis procera leaf and Tribulus terrestris fruit, thereby contributing to the scientific world of research.

Published: October 2021

Zinc Oxide nanoparticle (ZnO) is broadly used in food packaging industry. Synthesis of ZnO includes different methods like using chemical, gas and sol gel. But it contains more toxins. Hence biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticle is eco-friendly and non toxic. It acts as an anticancer, antidiabetic, antibacterial activity and so on. Trace metals like zinc, magnesium and chromium are involved in glucose metabolism and have a role in controlling blood glucose and hence in diabetic therapy. Zinc is also known to keep the structure of insulin and plays an important role in insulin synthesis, secretion and storage. Nano -ZnO is commonly utilized as additive in food. In this article we discussed about biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles from Mangifera indica L. anacardiaceae extract. Synthesized nanoparticles is subjected to its characterization such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) in the range between 4000cm-1 to 400cm-1 and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Functional group was identified in FTIR and nature, size, composition and degree of crystallinity were determined by using X−ray Diffraction analytical technique.

Published: October 2021

An investigation was carried out to assess the effect of planting materials on physiological parameters, cassava mosaic incidence and yield of Cassava varieties viz. H-226 and CO.2 at the Department of Vegetable crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, TNAU, Coimbatore during September 2010 to June 2011. The experiments were laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with four treatments and three replications in two varieties. The results revealed that the tissue culture plants were found be the best in virtue of its high leaf area index, net assimilation rate, dry matter content, tuber yield (26.33 t ha-1) and least incidence of cassava mosaic virus. Among the varieties, CO.2 showed less incidence of CMD. The tissue cultured plants may be recommended to farmers to reduce mosaic disease incidence and get maximum yield in cassava.
Corpos que desafiam as normas: narrativas da Defensoria Pública sobre intersexualidade
Authors: De Oliveira Manoel Rufino David , Gonçalves Alisson Costa
Published: October 2021

os corpos intersexuais, por borrarem as fronteiras de sexo, gênero e sexualidade, e confrontarem a matriz heterossexual estabelecida pela sociedade patriarcal, situam-se numa longa e infindável rede de relações de poder. Por estar no campo do Direito e da Medicina, essa rede é ora coercitiva e negativa, ora produtiva e positiva. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho busca analisar como o Núcleo de Direitos Humanos da Defensoria Pública do Estado do Pará atua nas demandas jurídicas de pessoas intersexuais, a partir de entrevista semiestruturada com a Defensora Pública Anelyse Freitas. Para tanto, em primeiro lugar, será discutida a intersexualidade enquanto forma de vida “potencialmente perigosa” para a matriz heterossexual. Em segundo lugar, serão analisadas as demandas jurídicas de pessoas intersexuais existentes no Núcleo de Direitos Humanos da Defensoria Pública do Estado do Pará. Por fim, serão discutidos os desafios e avanços na proteção e garantia dos direitos das pessoas intersexuais. A partir da pesquisa, concluiu-se que a Medicina e o Direito são dois grandes campos de normalização dos indivíduos intersexuais na lógica binária de gênero e, nesse contexto, a obrigação de uma definição sexual jurídica e da realização da cirurgia corretiva podem acabar se tornando violações de direitos humanos. Nesse cenário, o Núcleo de Direitos Humanos da Defensoria Pública do Estado do Pará desponta como resistência, em nome da pluralidade de sexo, gênero e sexualidade e dos direitos das pessoas intersexuais.
O corpo político de Linn da Quebrada
Authors: Da Silva João Paulo
Published: October 2021

O artigo em comento trabalhará as categorias raça, corpo, gênero e sexualidade a partir da análise do ser político da rapper e performer Linn da Quebrada, por intermédio da análise documental de entrevistas da artista associadas a trechos de suas canções. Linn é produto musical brasileiro que adentra o cenário do funk e do rapper com canções e performances que subvertem o padrão universal de comportamento social dominante no que confere ao que se espera em ser homem e ser mulher, vez que em suas letras pensa o feminino em corpos outros  (corpos trans, não siliconados, afeminados, enviadados etc). Trata-se de estudo de natureza qualitativa, com análise documental exploratória e descritiva junto a pesquisa bibliográfica. Como resultado, constatou-se que a pluralidade da artista advém como instrumento político de defesa de um feminino não esperado pela maioria dos indivíduos, dando vazão por sua voz a lutas encampadas por movimentos de mulheres e pela comunidade TLGB[1]. Judith Buttler, Michael Focault e Patricia Hill Collins são autores que complementam teoricamente o que Linn transmite em seu trabalho artístico. Palavras-chaves: gênero; corpos; Linn.[1] A alteração da sigla LGBT para TLGB no texto parte de uma política de enaltecimento dos corpos travestis, transsexuais e transgêneros, sendo reiterado a terminologia por artistas pertencentes ao T da sigla, com o intuito de ampliar a visibilidade a elas nos diálogos efetivados em prol da comunidade.

Published: October 2021

This study entailed an evaluation of preferences of workers for aspects of realistic fire management services aimed at providing effective fire prevention and real-time response using conjoint techniques. The analysis of the responses indicated that a combination of real-time disaster-situation dissemination and real-time 3D indoor status information displays was preferred. For workers in both low and high-rise buildings, real-time disaster-situation dissemination within the building received the highest evaluation. Workers in low-rise buildings also showed a preference for the 3D indoor status information displays that provide optimal dynamic evacuation routes. Future studies will include demonstrations of such techniques through local governments to put realistic fire management services into practical use, promoting safe living environments from fire.

Authors: Lee Kanghyeok , Sim Sung-Han , Shin Do Hyoung
Published: October 2021

In recent times, there has been an increase in the occurrence of disasters caused by a rapid increase in the aging of infrastructure. A structural health monitoring system can be utilized to detect severe damages in infrastructure and prevent accidents. In a previous study, the authors developed a method for damage detection in bridges using monitoring systems. However, the operational cost of the proposed method was high due to the requirement of multiple expensive accelerometers. The aim of this study is to reduce the number of accelerometers used in the aforementioned method by determining the optimal installation locations of the accelerometers. As a result of this study, optimal accelerometer installation locations for bridge damage detection, have been proposed.

Published: October 2021

In this study, the fire safety standards for windows in Korea, the United States, and Japan were compared to prevent fire expansion through exterior wall openings. Experiments on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and aluminum window frames widely used in Korea were performed. The tests were conducted according to KS F 2845, in which frames with equal thickness and area in a single-window form and 1 h fire-resistance glass with an 8 T thickness were combined. The experimental results showed that the PVC window was approximately 9 min, and the aluminum window was approximately 26 min. However, in Korea, there are no test standards for windows installed at the opening of exterior walls. In addition, fire safety standards for windows should be established along with designations of fire prevention zones.
