O ATIVISMO JUDICIAL NA JUSTIÇA ELEITORAL: ANÁLISE DE CASOS E MECANISMOS DE LEGITIMAÇÃO DEMOCRÁTICA
Authors: Pereira Brenda De Quadros , Migliavacca Carolina Moraes
Published: March 2019

O presente artigo científicoestuda o fenômeno do ativismo judicial na Justiça Eleitoral brasileira, explanando a origem, a estrutura e as funções dessa Justiça especializada e o desenvolvimento da atuação ativista judicial, bem como suas concepções negativas e positivas, conforme doutrina nacional. Aborda as críticas à conduta ativista e, em contraponto, os argumentos que fundamentam sua aplicação, visando promover a democracia participativa e fortalecer a república. Por meio de estudos de casos, demonstra-se que as vicissitudes da Justiça Eleitoral brasileira justificam a atitude proativa dos magistrados. Assim, esse comportamento recebe especial contorno normativo. Ao final, insere-se a proposta dos mecanismos de legitimação democrática, a fim de garantir transparência e pluralidade ao fenômeno.
TRIBUTAÇÃO DIGITAL: ANÁLISE SOBRE A INCIDÊNCIA DE ICMS E ISSQN NA TECNOLOGIA STREAMING
Authors: Inda Eduardo David , Ibañez André Pedreira
Published: March 2019

O Streaming assumiu um grande espaço na economia e também na vidasocial dos brasileiros a partir da segunda década do século XXI, consistindo em uma das novas formas de consumo de material digital. À vista desse fenômeno, este artigo visa investigar a natureza da nova tecnologia, a fim de verificar a possibilidade de sua incidência no Imposto Sobre Circulação de Mercadoria e Serviço (ICMS) e/ou no Imposto Sobre Serviços de Qualquer Natureza (ISSQN). Aponta o entendimento que dispõe a doutrina sobre os impostos mencionados, a fim de verificar se as hipóteses de incidência de ambos se aplicam na tecnologia streaming. Assim, igualmente analisa o funcionamento do streaming, até sua chegada ao usuário, além de perquirir sobre os critérios materiais do ICMS – Comunicação e do ISSQN. Adota o método hipotético-dedutivo, bem como o bibliográfico para a pesquisa, procedendo com a comparação dos elementos investigados nadoutrina e jurisprudência, dividida nas fases de levantamento e análise.Conclui que, pela moderna visão dos conceitos de prestação de serviço é possível enquadrar a tecnologia streaming na hipótese de incidência do imposto municipal, bem como, não possibilita a cobrança do imposto, caso adotada a corrente doutrinária que vincula a tributação apenas nas obrigações de “fazer”. Igualmente não incide no imposto estadual, por se tratar de um serviço de valor adicionado.
A PROTEÇÃO OFERECIDA PELO SISTEMA DE PROPRIEDADE INDUSTRIAL AO TRADE DRESS NO BRASIL
Authors: Martins Karoline Pache , Ibañez André Pedreira
Published: March 2019

Nesse artigo estudar-se-á a proteção oferecida pelo sistema de propriedade industrial ao trade dress no Brasil. O trade dress ou conjunto-imagem é a roupagem com a qual o produto ou o estabelecimento se apresenta ao mercado. Tal instituto, embora já não seja novidade em outros países como os Estados Unidos, não possui proteção legal no Brasil, tampouco é reconhecido por lei. Contudo, é um tema atual e que vem sendo cada vez mais utilizado pelos agentes econômicos para captar clientela e, portanto, possui alto valor. Daí a importância de se encontrar proteção a este instituto que vem sendo violado por concorrentes. Concluiu-se com a pesquisa deste trabalho que a doutrina vem reconhecendo a possibilidade de se conferir a proteção ao instituto caso comprovada a existência de atos de concorrência desleal, com base na convenção da união de Paris e no que dispõe a lei de propriedade industrial acerca do sistema de concorrência desleal. Verificou-se, portanto, que a ausência de previsão e proteção legalé de um lado um problema, e de outro uma liberdade, porque não limitaas formas de trade dress que poderão surgir.

Authors: Pereira Naiara Pinto Alves , Lanza Fernanda Moura , Viegas Selma Maria da Fonseca
Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the feelings and behaviors of people being treated for Systemic Hypertension (SH) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Method: A qualitative study based on Grounded Theory and Symbolic Interactionism, with 27 participants in treatment for SH and DM followed up by the Family Health Strategy team. Open, axial and selective coding was performed, giving rise to three theoretical categories and the central category. Results: The daily life is explicit in the (lack of)care of the self with the chronic disease and feelings of sadness and anxiety are expressed as reasons for the lack of control of the disease. It points out that people take care of themselves because of fear of complications, reinforced the need for guidance on the use of medication and the empowerment of the chronic patient for self-care and care for the other. Final considerations: Knowing behaviors and feelings of people with SH and/or DM allows a professional performance beyond the chronic condition.

Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To discuss the potentialities of using the concept of vulnerability to support measures for preventing and controlling healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Methods: This theoretical study was conducted in steps: 1) presentation of markers that frame the concept of vulnerability; 2) presentation of the characteristics of the health events to which the concept of vulnerability is intended to be applied; 3) identification of research gaps that could be potentially filled by using the concept of vulnerability; 4) identification of the potentialities of using the concept of vulnerability to deal with HAIs. Results: Proposal of a framework for analyzing HAIs from a vulnerability perspective, including the individual and collective dimensions. Conclusion: Using the concept of vulnerability to study and deal with HAIs favors a new approach to an old problem, unlike the dominant studies that highlight the individual aspects of the practices in healthcare services.

Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To define the criteria for the continuity of care to elderly people submitted to arthroplasty. Method: This is a qualitative study, inserted in the constructivist paradigm, whose methodological option fell on research-action. The participants were the health professionals of an orthopedic service and of the community care teams in the area of the hospital. Results: The different techniques allowed us to identify the difficulties in the safe transition from the hospital to the community. At this level, two categories of criteria for continuity of care emerged: criteria associated with the risk of ineffective management of the therapeutic regimen, and criteria associated with the knowledge and level of competence of the informal caregiver. Final Considerations: An elderly person undergoing arthroplasty (hip or knee) has functional alterations that affect their capacity for self-care and may lead to dependence, our findings allowed the design of an algorithm to facilitate clinical decision making and promote a safe hospital-community transition.
Neuron-specific enolase as biomarker for possible neuronal damage in dogs with distemper vírus
Authors: Elias Bruno Cesar , Alfieri Alice F. , Navarro Italmar T. , Gomes Lucas A.
Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT: Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is a biomarker of neuronal cell lysis, which demonstrates stability in extracellular fluids such as blood and cerebrospinal fluid. To the authors knowledge there is no research information comparing the use of NSE in dogs with and without encephalitis, putting in evidence the importance of that biomarker to detect neuronal damage in dogs. The objective was to compare the serum NSE levels in dogs with and without encephalitis, and to determine the serum NSE levels in normal dogs. Thirty eight dogs were evaluated, 19 dogs with encephalitis (EG Group) and 19 dogs without encephalitis (CG Group). The criteria for inclusion in the EG Group were presence of neurological signs in more than one part of the CNS (multifocal syndrome) and positive molecular diagnosis for canine distemper virus; for the CG Group were an age between 1 to 7 years and be clinically normal; NSE were measured in serum using an ELISA assay, and the results were compared. In the EG Group the NSE values were higher with significant difference (P=0.0053) when compared with the CG Group. NSE is a biomarker that can be measured in serum samples of dogs to monitor neuronal lesions in encephalitis.

Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT: Interstitial lung diseases are a group of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases that include interstitial lung fibrosis. The aim of this study is to characterize the clinical and pathological findings of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in three cats and to investigate possible etiological agents through bacteriological and mycological exams and immunohistochemistry. All three cats were female and aged from 10 to 14 years old, they presented with a clinical history of weight loss and dyspnea. The radiographic changes were similar in all cats and included increased pulmonary radiopacity with a mixed bronchointerstitial pattern progressing to an alveolar pattern. Two cats died during lung biopsy procedures. At necropsy, the lesions were limited to the pulmonary parenchyma and were firm, hypocrepitant with a multinodular appearance on the pleural surface; they failed to completely collapse when the thorax was opened. In the pleural region, there were multifocal star-shaped scarring lesions, with parenchymal retraction. Microscopically, all three cats had multifocal-to-coalescing fibrosis, type II pneumocyte hyperplasia, hypertrophy or hyperplasia of the smooth muscle tissue of terminal bronchioles and an accumulation of macrophages within the alveolar spaces. There was no growth on bacteriological or mycological cultures, and the immunohistochemical evaluations for the presence of viral etiological agents (FIV, FeLV, FCoV, FCV and FHV-1) were also negative.

Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to report the clinical and pathological aspects of an outbreak of poisoning by the ingestion of Ricinus communis leaves in a herd of goats at Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil. Within 3-5 hours after ingesting the sprouts and young shrubs of the plant, twenty Toggenburg female goats and two adults crossbred wethers presented acute neurological clinical signs, which were initially characterized by decreased locomotor activity that later evolved to severe ataxia, depression, incoordination and staggering gait. Four goat that died spontaneously were necropsied. Gross lesions were unspecific and consisted in focal areas of lungs edema, petechial hemorrhages in the epicardium and congestion and enlargement of liver. The contents of the rumen, reticulum and omasum were dry and contained leaves of the plant. Histologically there were no lesions in the CNS. In the liver, the main lesion consisted in cytoplasmic vacuolization and necrosis of hepatocytes. Eighteen goats recovered after a supportive therapy with activated charcoal, glycated isotonic solution, dexamethasone and vitamin B12. There is no specific therapy for poisoning by R. communis, however supportive and symptomatic treatments are recommended and should be based on the clinical signs.
Tinnitus and its relationship with anxiety and depression in the elderly: a systematic review
Authors: Gibrin Paula Carolina Dias , Ciquinato Daiane Soares de Almeida , Gonçalves Isabela Caroline , Marchiori Vitória de Moraes , Marchiori Luciana Lozza de Moraes
Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to verify, in the literature, a probable association of tinnitus with anxiety and depression in the elderly. Methods: a systematic review (through a search in the indexed databases - Lilacs, Scielo, Pubmed, Science Direct, The Cochrane Library) of studies published between 2013 and 2018, in Portuguese and in English, involving adults and/or elderly (18 years and older). The descriptors used were: “tinnitus", "depression", "anxiety", "adult", "elderly", interspersed by the Boolean operator AND. Results: 11 studies were selected, from which, 5 compared adults to elderly and only 2 evaluated such relationship in the elderly alone. Studies suggest that, as age increases, tinnitus severity and psychological symptoms also increase, affecting both men and women. Conclusion: few studies compared the relationship between the variables among the elderly. A probable association between the variables for both genders has been found, suggesting that the advancing age contributes to the increase of tinnitus severity and its psychological symptoms, affecting the quality of life of these individuals. Further studies are suggested to confirm the association between tinnitus, anxiety and depression in the elderly. Multi-professional work is important for the evaluation and treatment of these people.

Development of a large-area, low-cost solar water-heating system for South Africa with a high thermal energy collection capacity
Authors: Twite Monga F. , Snyman Lukas W. , De Koker Johan , Yusuff Adedayo Ademola
Published: March 2019

A low-cost heat-exchanger system that can be used in high-pressure/low-pressure isolated solar water-heating systems in South Africa was developed for household applications. The combination of a copper coil and electrical heater allowed for isolation of the high-pressure and low-pressure sections of the system and enabled the utilisation of large low-cost solar heat-absorber platforms that operated at low pressure with a low risk of fouling and leaking. The design comprised a copper coil heat exchanger to be installed inside a conventional geyser, to replace the normal heating element and thermostat system in a conventional commercially available household geyser. The electric heating element still supplements the system in low solar energy conditions. The circulation in the system is created by a small separate photovoltaic panel and a circulation pump. An integrated switch allows the system to alternate between conventional electrical heating and solar water-heating according to prevailing weather conditions. Current tests show that the system of 15 m2 area can be installed at a cost of approximately ZAR 10 000–12 000. The system can provide hot water at approximately 12 cents per kWh, with a total heat storage capacity of up to 10 kWh per day. This implies a saving to the customer of up to ZAR 600 per month. The accumulated saving to a household over the ten-year lifetime of the product is estimated at ZAR 200 000. As the thermal energy storage capacity of current systems as available on the local market is approximately 1 kWhr per day for a 2 m2 collector. A typical increase in thermal energy collection capacity of tenfold more than the capability of conventional systems on the market is hence achieved. The system offers implementation possibilities for South Africa’s low-cost housing schemes and can provide for creating numerous new business and job opportunities on the African continent with its abundant solar irradiation resources.
Influences of microalgae biomass on the thermal behaviour of waste coal fines
Authors: Baloyi Hope , Dugmore Gary
Published: March 2019

For this study, waste coal fines were treated with live microalgae slurry at varying biomass ratios to form coal-microalgae blends. The parent samples and the coal-microalgae blends were analysed for their proximate, ultimate and calorific values. Thermogravimetric experiments were performed on the parent samples and coal-microalgae blends under inert conditions. The aim was to investigate the effects of loading live microalgae slurry onto the waste coals with respect to the overall chemical and thermal characteristics of the coal. Based on the analysed results, the blending of microalgae slurry with coal has been shown to enhance thermal decomposition of coal. Coal-microalgae blends have a higher hydrogen content and volatile matter content than coal. Moreover, the presence of microalgae results in faster rates of decomposition at lower temperatures (200–400 ºC), and lower residual mass fraction. The blending of microalgae slurries with waste coal appears to be suitable for enhancing the thermal reactivity of waste coal as well as improving the thermal conversion of waste coal.
Academic Leadership Through the Prism of Managerialism: The Relationship Between University Development and Rector’s Specialization
Authors: Dyachenko Ekaterina , Mironenko Asya
Published: March 2019

The article explores the relationship between rectors’ professional back­grounds and the development of the universities governed by them. The basic hypothesis that universities governed by rectors with managerial experience are relatively more successful in their development is tested using a pre-de­veloped classification of rectors’ background. Development of universities was assessed by exploring how their academic, research and financial indicators changed over time. The universities were grouped into clusters so that dyna­mics of indicators were compared for universities with similar performance profiles. The study uses the data on performance of Russian ( public and pri­vate) universities in 2013 and 2016 which they submitted for the Monitoring of University Effectiveness. Rectors’ biographical data was collected from a nu­mber of publicly available sources. In addition to the main analysis, the article also presents the demographic characteristics of Russian university rectors.
Competitive Strategies of Vocational Schools and Universities in Implementing Continuing Education Programs
Authors: Korshunov Ilya , Peshkova Vera , Malkova Natalya
Published: March 2019

Open statistics is analyzed to examine the successful strategies of implementing continuing education (CE) programs by vocational schools and universities. The study identifies the industries that benefit from those successful strategies the most. In vocational schools, such industries include medicine, oil and gas production and chemical processing, transport, mining and metallurgy, electrical engineering and telecommunications, pedagogy, tertiary sector, architecture and construction. As for higher education, CE programs are pursued most actively by medical, multidisciplinary, pedagogical, law and economics, and polytechnic universities. A relationship has been established between CE enrollment and general student population. Implementation of CE programs contributes to financial sustainability of vocational institutions. Successful strategies may ensure from 25 to 40 percent of the total budget in educational institutions that specialize in oil and gas production and chemical processing, medicine, electrical and power engineering, ICT, law and economics. Efficient strategies include narrow specialization and collaboration with strategic enterprises, while online marketing tools play a relatively small part. Continuing education was found to contribute little to financial sustainability of large national universities despite higher CE enrollments, barely ac- counting for five percent of their total budget. At the same time, a number of small institutions of higher education (regional branch campuses and private universities) can generate over half of their income from CE programs, university status playing a guiding role in student attraction. Analysis of university strategies shows that low interest in implementing CE programs for the good of regional industries is related to the absence of CE-based indicators in annual monitoring reports and the lack of established policies for integrating CE programs into higher education.
Internationalization of Higher Education and English Medium Instruction in Mongolia: Initiatives and Trends
Authors: Gundsambuu Sainbayar
Published: March 2019

Internationalization has become a driving motivation for reform in higher edu­cation. Higher education reform brings changes in practice, culture, and en­vironment where the internationalization can take place. The government of Mongolia acknowledges internationalization as a pathway towards improving the quality of higher education and increasing the ranking status of domestic higher education institutions in Asia. Following this government policy, educa­tion providers are striving to internationalize their institutions. This paper aims to discuss the current process of reforms in higher education as well as na­tional and institutional policies and initiatives towards internationalization. The paper also explores the concept of English Medium Instruction in Mongolian higher education institutions as a growing global phenomenon of internatio­nalization. This paper does not intend to evaluate the internationalization pro­cess of universities and /or their strategies.
Who is Happy at Doctoral Programs: The Connection between Employment and Learning Outcomes of PhD Students
Authors: Bekova Saule , Dzhafarova Zibeyda
Published: March 2019

Doctoral education in Russia is characterized by high drop-out rates. Many experts associate this problem with the low financial support of PhD students and their need to find employment during education process. However, the current discussion mainly relies not on the research data, but on expert opinions based on scanty statistics or on the individual cases. Based on a 2016 survey of PhD students of the leading Russian universities the authors assess the scope and types of employment of postgraduates, as well as the experience of those PhD students, who balance study time with work. The current position, work duties and workload of PhD students were analyzed in regard to learning experience perception and career prospects they have. The authors conclude that the balancing study and work may benefit to PhD student education process and professional experience, but only in case when current work duties correspond to the thesis topic. The challenges of balancing study and work are highlighted. The results can be useful for develo­ping measures to reform doctoral education both at the university and at the state level.
Subjective Ontology and the Individual’s Lifeworld
Authors: Sapogova E.E.
Published: March 2019

The author proposes an interpretation of the core role of subjective ontology in the formation of the individual’s lifeworld. It is shown that the actual implementation of the life journey obliges the person to think ontologically, explaining to oneself, basing on the accumulated experience, how the reality is arranged, and building a version of the causes and consequences of his own existence in it. Solving the tasks of self-development and constructing personal life stories, the individual relies upon some ultimate ontologemes (‘fate’, ‘fortuity’, ‘free will’), each of which generates different foci of interpretation of self-experience and defines the individual semantics of possible life events: if the ontology of free will dominates, then self-interpretation is built primarily as an explanation of human deeds; if the person believes in the predetermination of everything by fate, then life fulfillment would be in the focus of his/her consciousness; if everything is dominated by the fortuity, then life is perceived as a set of unpredictable incidents. The assimilated ultimate ontologemes stimulate the prevalence in self-interpretation of one of the mental processes (belief, thinking, intuition) and thus set three possible frames for the interpretation of the life path: fate — fulfillment — belief; fortuity — incident — intuition; free will — deed — thinking. The lifeworld is represented as a pyramid whose top is formed by subjective ontology that performs a system-forming function in relation to it, and its facets are its epistemological, axiological, praxeological and symbolic dimensions.

Mental Health Issues in Adolescents and Young Adult African Immigrants
Authors: Olupona Tolu , Jegede Oluwole , Keseke Clarety , Akerele Evaristo
Published: March 2019

African Immigrants in the United States account for a rapidly growing population of immigrants in the country, constituting about four percent of the foreign-born population. The group has seen a significant population increase from 881,300 in 2010 to 1,606,914 in 2010. African immigrants are however not a monolithic population, as this number and diversity increases, there continues to be a growing need for mental health professionals to assess the peculiar mental health care needs and practices of this population. The primary African immigrant groups in the United States include Nigerians, Ethiopians, Egyptians, Ghanaians, and Kenyans. The delivery of optimal mental health care to this population involves a thorough comprehension of factors that influence mental health in African Immigrant populations. Such factors include the ethno-cultural background of families, the diversity of religions, immigration status, socio-economic status, language, family and sibling subsystems, identity issues and various forms of mental health stigma. Due to the complexity of these socioeconomic and cultural nuances, the mental illness presented by adolescents and young adult Africans are often atypical and their treatment requires appropriate cultural competence by physicians and mental health professionals.

Este artigo apresenta apontamentos sobre a difusão e o desenvolvimento do espiritismo no Brasil, a partir de uma naturalização do sobrenatural que, dentre outras possibilidades, consolidou uma religiosidade entre a casa e a rua. Para tanto, enfoca como a atuação do médium Chico Xavier e a promoção das terapêuticas do Culto do Evangelho no Lar e da fluidificação da água se tornaram importantes índices para a formatação de uma nova prática religiosa instituída no entre-lugar. Tal configuração demonstra como a crença espírita na cura se torna um fator significativo no campo de produção simbólico.
Uso Terapêutico e Religioso das Ervas
Authors: E Silva Cilma Laurinda Freitas
Published: March 2019

Este artigo trata do uso terapêutico e religioso das ervas. O emprego das plantas como medicamento é milenar e universal, tendo surgido desde os tempos primitivos, por meio de uma medicina empírica. Essa prática veio do contato com a natureza, da necessidade de sobrevivência, da observação do comportamento dos animais e da religiosidade dos povos antigos. Acreditava-se que doenças e curas eram promovidas pelas divindades, que concediam aos humanos o conhecimento sobre os poderes mágicos e curativos das ervas. Assim, as plantas, além dos tratamentos físicos, eram usadas com fins religiosos em rituais diversos e oferendas a deuses e entidades divinas.

Published: March 2019

O artigo se ocupa da atuação social e religiosa de missionárias batistas no antigo norte goiano. Um esforço de compreensão do espaço de atuação que se configurou como importante para se verificar a forma de ver e apreciar a participação feminina no interior da denominação. Entendemos que as mudanças na organização das relações sociais correspondem sempre a mudanças nas representações do poder. Deste modo, a visão que se tem das mulheres no interior da instituição batista, e também no âmbito social, se modifica a partir do momento em que as mulheres se posicionam ativamente enquanto missionárias, desconstruindo o ideal de mulher unicamente mãe e esposa, e colocando em seu lugar uma mãe, esposa, professora, missionária, e em certos casos, missionárias solteiras. Para narrar a participação da mulher como sujeito do crescimento e manutenção da religiosidade batista, incorremos na história das religiões em interface com a história cultural.

Background and Purpose: Tinea capitis is the most common superficial mycosis inchildren. This disease is a contagious infection with worldwide distribution and isoccasionally associated with permanent alopecia. The treatment of this infectionusually requires the administration of appropriate oral antifungal agents. The currentstudy was conducted to evaluate the clinico-mycological profile of tinea capitis andcompare the efficiency of oral griseofulvin and terbinafine in the treatment of thisdisease.Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 69 patients, including 23females (33.3%) and 46 males (66.7%), clinically suspected of tinea capitis. After theconfirmation of tinea capitis diagnosis through direct examination, the subjects wererandomly assigned into two groups of griseofulvin and terbinafine. Demographic data,clinical and mycological characteristics, and therapeutic outcome were recorded forboth groups.Results: According to the results, tinea capitis was more common in children youngerthan 15 years (73.9%), athletes (37.7%), and males (66.7%), and those with frontalinvolvement (34.8%), non-inflammatory type (68.1%), endothrix (69.6%), andTrichophyton tonsurans species (41.7%). The griseofulvin and terbinafine groups hadthe treatment success rates of 90.9% and 80.6%, respectively (P=0.311). Thegriseofulvin group had a shorter therapeutic course than the terbinafine group(P=0.129).Conclusion: Although our findings demonstrated that both griseofulvin and terbinafinewere effective in the treatment of tinea capitis, griseofulvin showed a little higherefficacy in this regard. Consideration of some variables, such as age, associated riskfactors, clinical type, hair involvement pattern, and dominant pathogenic species, isimportant in the determination of the drugs.

Published: March 2019

Background and Purpose: Fusarium species is an opportunistic mold that causes disseminated infections in immunocompromised patients. Given the high mortality rate of this infection, it is important to make a definite diagnosis when encountering suspected cases.Case report: Herein, we presented a 35-year-old man diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia with a prolonged febrile neutropenic period and ecthyma gangrenosum-like lesions, along with fungemia and disseminated fusariosis. The patient died despite receiving combination therapy, perhaps due to the nonrecovery of neutrophil.Conclusion: Ecthyma gangrenosum-like lesions due to disseminated fusariosis might be easily misdiagnosed. Consequently, more attention should be paid to the cutaneous lesions in immunocompromised patients.

Fungal agents account for the clinical manifestation of allergic disorders. The aim of the present study was to review the prevalence of hypersensitivity reactions to fungal aeroallergens in patients with allergic disorders, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, urticaria, and eczema, in Iran. The initial literature search resulted in the identification of 50 records, 26 cases of which met the inclusion criteria. Regarding the methods adopted for the detection of fungal allergens, serum-specific IgE and skin prick tests were used in 6 and 20 studies, respectively. Aspergillus fumigatus and Alternaria alternata sensitization was the most common allergic sensitization among the patients with allergic disorders. According to the reviewed studies, despite the humid climate of the north of Iran, fungal sensitization has a prevalence range of 5-70% in this region. In other regions, such as central and southern Iran, which have a dry and warm climate, fungal sensitization reportedly has a prevalence range of 5-65%. The prevalence of fungal sensitizations varies in different allergic disorders due to the factors related to geographic and genetic issues, gender, sample size, test operator, and assessment method.

sürdürülebilirliği ile buna etkili olduğu düşünülen; işletme mevki ve tipi, işletmecilerin yaşı, eğitim durumu, hayvancılık yapılan
süre, hayvan mevcudu ve ırkı gibi faktörlerin etkilerini araştırmak amacıyla
yapılmıştır. Araştırma materyalini, Muş il merkezi ve 5 ilçesinde 346
işletmede yapılan anket verileri oluşturmaktadır. Elde edilen verilerin çapraz
tabloları SPSS paket programında oluşturulmuş ve önemlilik testi için ki-kare
analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz sonucu,
frekans değerlerine göre, işletmecilerin % 59.4’ünün hayvancılıktan memnun
oldukları ve % 88.9’unun hayvancılığı sürdürmek istedikleri belirlenmiş; sürdürme
nedeni olarak işletmecilerin % 43.3’ünün başka işlerinin olmadığı, % 20.1’inin
hayvancılığı karlı bulduğu, % 18.5’inin elde ettiği gelirin kendilerine
yettiği, % 9.4’ünün hayvancılığı sevdiği; sürdürmeme nedeni olarak ise
hayvancılığın karlı olmadığı (% 72.5), zamanın olmaması (% 21.5) ve
hayvancılığı sevmeme (% 6) gibi faktörler tespit edilmiştir. Hayvancılıktan

A criminalização dos protestos políticos na ditadura militar brasileira
Authors: Alves Marilia Silveira Carvalho , Almeida Frederico Normanha Ribeiro de
Published: March 2019

A ditadura militar no Brasil (1964-1985) foi um período marcado pelo autoritarismo e por intensas repressões a reivindicações populares, nas quais a ação da polícia era frequente e muitas vezes acarretava a prisões de manifestantes. A literatura acerca do tema trata da existência de procedimentos formais de justiça criminal para a legitimação do regime e de sua estratégia de combate à oposição política. Com base em referenciais teóricos desenvolvidos para o estudo do funcionamento regular da justiça criminal em períodos democráticos, e com o objetivo de estabelecer bases de comparação entre a criminalização de protestos na ditadura e na democracia, a presente pesquisa pretende analisar e investigar a criminalização de ações públicas de protesto durante o regime militar.
