An Argument for the Non-Existence of the Devil in African Traditional Religions
Authors: Ofuasia Emmanuel
Published: March 2022

In this essay, I will argue that the discourse over the existence of the Devil/Satan has no place among the religious cultures in sub-Saharan Africa. This may be contrasted with the numerous efforts in the dominant philosophy of religion tradition in the Anglo-American sphere, where efforts toward the establishing grounds for the existence of God have occupied and commanded so much attention. On the other hand, it seems to have been taken for granted that Devil, the One who is antagonistic of God, among the Abrahamic monotheisms, is assumed to exist and does not require serious intellectual elaboration. For my aim, I explore the traditional Yorùbá and Igbo religious cultures to foreground that God. In the traditional belief system of these two religious cultures, there is no place to entertain the idea of a necessarily antagonistic entity, popularly called the Devil.Whereas I recognise previous scholarships that have served to show that Èṣù and Ekwensu in each of these religious cultures are not synonymous with Devil in the Abrahamic monotheisms, I move beyond these to establishing the ontological framework which endorses the absence of a Devil, even when evil lingers in the world. If the argument that there is no Devil/Satan in these religious cultures is proved valid, then it is pertinent to tender the origin and persistence of evil in the world. For this task, I explore the process-relational character of Yorùbá and Igbo theology to reinforce my conviction concerning the peoples’ belief in the existence of God in Chukwu and Olódùmarè, the presence of evil in the world, without encountering the philosophical problem of evil.
PROCAM based myocardial infarction risk in relation to global vascular disease risk: observations from the ARCO cohort study
Authors: Romanens Michel , Adams Ansgar , Warmuth Walter
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: In Switzerland, risk for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been considered as equivalent to risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). This may lead to an underestimation of ASCVD risk and prevent adequate preventive measures.
METHODS: We calculated correction factors for AMI risk to obtain ASCVD risk, tested predicting abilities of PROCAM/AGLA, SCORE, HerzCheck® and carotid plaque imaging (TPA) for ASCVD events in this cohort study and calculated survival curves, calibration and discrimination for ASCVD outcomes derived from PROCAM/AGLA, SCORE and TPA.
RESULTS: In 2842 subjects (age 50 ± 8, 38% women), 154 (5.4%) cardiovascular events occurred (ASCVD: 41 myocardial infarctions, 16 strokes or TIAs, 21 CABG, 41 PTCA, 35 coronary artery disease [CAD]defined by invasive angiography) during a mean follow-up time of 5.9 (1–12) years. AGLA-AMI risk was well calibrated for AMI (15% underreported risk for the risk of AMI), but was poorly calibrated for ASCVD (stroke, CABG, PTCA or CAD, which contributed to the secondary outcome variables) with underreported risk resulting in a correction factor of 3.45. Discrimination was comparable for all risk calculators, but TPA outperformed risk calculators for survival using Cox proportional survival functions. Net reclassification improvement for PROCAM and SCORE using TPA tertiles groups increased significantly between 30% to 48%.

CONCLUSIONS: PROCAM-derived risk calculators are well calibrated for the risk of AMI. PROCAM-AMI should be multiplied by a factor of 4 to obtain ASCVD. PROCAM-AMI does not represent global cardiovascular risk. Corresponding adjustments in the AGLA communication of risk appear necessary.

Examining Practicing Teachers’ Knowledge and Attitudes toward Mathematical Modeling
Authors: Asempapa Reuben S.
Published: March 2022

Mathematical modeling has been positioned at the forefront of many educational levels globally because modeling reinforces purposeful problem-solving skills, connects mathematics to the real-world, and makes mathematics more meaningful and relevant. This article investigated K–12 practicing teachers’ knowledge and attitudes toward mathematical modeling, while considering the relationships between them and some selected demographic variables. The study involved 335 teachers from Midwestern United States of America (U.S.), and data was collected through an Online self-administered survey. The data collected were quantitatively analyzed with the guidance of the research questions, and using statistical analyses such as correlation, multiple regression, and ANOVA. Results showed that teachers had a satisfactory knowledge and attitudes toward mathematical modeling. Teachers’ knowledge of modeling was found to be positively related to their overall attitudes toward such modeling, with an R2 = .25 suggesting a moderate relationship. Overall, gender and grade level band were identified as strong indicators of teachers’ knowledge and attitudes toward mathematical modeling. In particular, female teachers on average showed a relatively stronger knowledge and attitudes toward mathematical modeling than their male colleagues. Similarly, elementary teachers demonstrated a relatively stronger knowledge of mathematical modeling and attitudes toward such modeling than middle or high school teachers. Findings from this study have implications for integrating mathematical modeling standards into teacher preparation programs and organizing professional development on mathematical modeling education.
Estructura de la fauna de escarabajos (Insecta: Coleoptera) en bosques remanentes del oeste de Puerto Rico
Authors: Neis J. Martínez  , Jaime A. Acosta  , Nico M. Franz
Published: March 2022

Se estudió la riqueza y abundancia de familias de escarabajos en dos fragmentos de bosques sucesionales en localidades cercanas en el campus de la Universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Mayagüez (UPRM), en el oeste de Puerto Rico. El periodo de estudio se extendió de abril a diciembre de 2005, e incluyó nueve repeticiones mensuales de muestreos cuantitativos usando trampas necrófilas, de caída y de luz. Se obtuvo un total de 30 familias de escarabajos—48% de las familias reportadas para la Isla—y 38,126 individuos. La variación entre sitios fue baja, ya que en ambos sitios dominaron escarabajos pertenecientes a las familias Curculionidae, Nitidulidae, Staphylinidae, Scarabaeidae, e Hydrophilidae (en orden de abundancia). Estas familias representan un rango amplio de hábitos alimenticios y en conjunto constituyeron más del 93% de las muestras. Las trampas de luz fueron las más efectivas para obtener la mayor diversidad muestreada de escarabajos. La abundancia de la mayoría de los grupos se correlacionó con los cambios estacionales climáticos y la disponibilidad de recursos, y llegó a su máximo a mediados de la época lluviosa en agosto. En resumen, los fragmentos de bosque del campus UPRM albergan una fauna de escarabajos sorprendentemente diversa y dinámica. Se requiere de evaluaciones más amplias de las comunidades de coleópteros residentes en bosques sucesionales de Puerto Rico para caracterizar y preservar estos habitats valiosos.
Diversidad de bacterias en cicadélidos vectores potenciales de Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. en cafetos en Puerto Rico.
Authors: Yobana Mariño-Cárdenas  , Mildred Zapata
Published: March 2022

Se aislaron bacterias de la cabeza y el cuerpo de tres especies de vectores potenciales de la bacteria Xylella fastidiosa (Xf): Apogonalia spp., Hortensia similis y Caribovia coffeacola, en el medio de cultivo 'periwinkle wilt' (PW). Éstas se caracterizaron mediante ácidos grasos en 19 géneros, los cuales se dividieron en cuatro grupos de acuerdo al tejido del insecto. Curtobacterium, Micrococcus y Pasteurella se identificaron sólo en la cabeza. Brevundimonas, Paenibacillus, Pantoea, Providencia, Rhizobium y Vibrio se detectaron en los tejidos internos. Acinetobacter, Chryseobacterium, Clavibacter, Kluyvera, Kokuria, Nocardia, Pectobacterium y Pseudomonas se identificaron en los tejidos externos. Bacillus y Microbacterium se aislaron en todos los tejidos. La mayoría de estas bacterias han sido reportadas como agentes de control biológico de plagas y otras como patógenas en otros huéspedes. De estos géneros el único que ha sido informado asociado antagónicamente con Xf es Curtobacterium; esta bacteria fue aislada del insecto H. similis. También, de las fincas donde se colectaron los insectos se aislaron bacterias de cafetos que mostraban enrizamiento de los bordes de las hojas. Estas bacterias se identificaron en nueve géneros mediante el sistema BIOLOG®. Los géneros más frecuentes fueron Bacillus, Micrococcus y Staphylococcus. En menor frecuencia se encontraron: Arthrobacter, Chryseobacterium, Clavibacter, Enterobacter, Rhizobium y Sphingobacterium. La mayoría de estos géneros han sido reportados como endófitos en otros cultivos. Los géneros de bacteria presentes en insectos y plantas fueron Bacillus, Chryseobacterium, Clavibacter, Micrococcus y Rhizobium. Todas las bacterias Gram negativas se evaluaron para detectar la presencia de Xf mediante la prueba de ELISA. Se detectó Xf en cuatro aislamientos provenientes de C. coffeacola y H. similis, pero no se logró aislar la bacteria en PW para su confirmación final.

Authors: Albrecht Felipe Fernandes , De Medeiros Antônio Luís Sombra , De Britto Mitri Martins Alves , Garcia Nelson Antônio Borges
Published: March 2022

Nowadays, an important problem in Biomathematics is how to efficiently compute the length for the phylogenic tree branches. The approach followed herein is to employ the distance matrices method which leads to least square problems. The related tree construction strategy then generates block tridiagonal systems of linear equations. Experiments in solving them with the conjugate gradient method coupled to different block preconditioners were performed. Preliminary results confirm a high performance for some preconditioning choices.
Digital Twins and Blockchain: How an Alternative Built Environment Business Model can be Enabled by Tokenisation
Authors: Saxon Richard
Published: March 2022

Construction today is poised between a failing business model and possibly successful future ones. Using the Three Horizons approach to transformative innovation (ref 1) one can say that the first horizon, the present, is characterised by transactional approaches to procurement, cost-driven purchasing, low margins, weak productivity and innovation, poor quality and the treatment of natural, social and human capital as externalities. The second horizon consists of innovations which can improve the first one or become bridges to a third horizon of transformed approaches. Elements already visible in the second horizon include a new awareness of the outcome value of assets, rising desire and ability to embrace natural, social and human capital factors, increasing interest in collaboration and partnership, industrialisation of building production, digital information management and the addition of ‘smart’ sensors and analytics to the built asset. The Grenfell Tower disaster has also set in train a major realignment of regulation, requiring long-term asset information retention to allow safer stewardship of buildings. The digital twin concept is a third horizon idea which may result.

Madam, Mesenteric inflammatory veno-occlusive disease (MIVOD) is an unusual cause of mesenteric venous thrombosis. It is localized inflammation of the mesenteric veins and venules. The adjacent arteries are normal and spared from the inflammatory process. There is no evidence of systemic vasculitis or any other local bowel pathology. This focal inflammatory process leads to bowel ischaemia and necrosis. It is histopathological diagnosis showing lymphocytic infiltration of bowel wall, chronic inflammation in the mesenteric veins. There are also features intraluminal thrombosis and features ofbowel ischaemia. It is important to know this condition as its treatment is different from other causes of mesenteric venous thrombosis.

Abstract
Abdominal pain due to pancreatic diseases like idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis is difficult to manage with medications alone in some patients. Celiac plexus innervates abdominal organs including liver, gallbladder, pancreas, etc. We are presenting a case of successful pain management of a 13-year-old boy with recurrent pancreatitis by application of celiac plexus block. Patient was admitted to hospital with severe abdominal pain. Multimodal analgesia was provided to manage his pain, but he continued to have moderate to severe pain in abdomen. So, he was scheduled for celiac plexus block under fluoroscopy in the operating room. Block was performed under conscious sedation, bilaterally via paramedian technique at the level of L1 using 22G Chiba needle. Injection Ropivicaine 0.25% with dexamethasone was injected on each side. His pain was significantly reduced and he was discharged after two days.

Mathematical Analysis of Efficacy of Condom as a Contraceptive on the Transmission of Chlamydia Disease
Authors: Yunus Akeem Olarewaju , Omoloye Musibau Abayomi
Published: March 2022

Chlamydia disease caused by the Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the major sexually transmitted infectious diseases globally. The progression of this disease has deadly effects cumulating into millions of death. Chlamydia causes numerous complications such as infertility in female, chronic pelvic pain and inflammation. Previous studies did not consider the effects of undetected infected individuals on the dynamic spread of the disease. Hence, this work investigated the effects of undetected infected individuals and efficacy of condom as a contraceptive in the dynamic spread of the disease. A six compartmental model to study the dynamic spread of chlamydia disease was developed using system of ordinary differential equation. The population was divided into susceptible, exposed, infected undetected symptomatic, infected detected symptomatic, infected asymptomatic and recovered individuals. The well-posedness of the model was investigated by the positivity of solution technique. Basic reproduction number (R0) was computed using Next Generation Matrix Method. The endemic equilibrium was investigated by the use of Lyapunov function. The results showed that the disease free equilibrium was stable whenever the basic reproduction number is less than unity (R0<1). The endemic equilibrium was found to be stable as a results of constructed Lyapunov function being negative definite. Numerical analysis showed that increasing in the undetected infected individuals enhanced the spread of the disease. Findings showed that undetected infected individuals played a vital role in the spread of Chlamydia disease. Moreover, using condom as a contraceptive reduced the spread of the disease.

Os corantes desempenham um papel importante nos alimentos visto que é um parâmetro de atratividade para o consumidor. A ANVISA considera corante como a substância ou a mistura de substâncias que possuem a propriedade de conferir ou intensificar a coloração de alimento e bebida, além de apresentar poder oxidante. Na produção de alimentos existem duas classes de corantes, os artificiais e os naturais. Os corantes artificiais são aqueles que são obtidos por síntese química e os naturais são obtidos de matrizes naturais, como vegetais. O azul índigo, a púrpura e os tons de vermelho foram os corantes de maior destaque na história onde eram utilizados em tecidos, pinturas corporais, de casas e objetos, em artes rupestres, para tingir os cabelos, estes eram extraídos de animais, frutos, flores, cascas e raízes de plantas. Entre os principais corantes naturais alimentícios se destacam o urucum, o carmim de cochonilha, as antocianinas, as betalaínas e a curcumina. Os principais métodos de extração encontrados foram extração por maceração, extração em fluído supercrítico, extração enzimática, extração em líquido pressurizado, extração em água subcrítica, extração por campo elétrico pulsado, extração assistida por micro-ondas, extração por queda de pressão instantânea controlada e extração assistida por ultrassom.
MESSIANISMO BENJAMINIANO E SUA RELAÇÃO COM A EDUCAÇÃO EM HISTÓRIA

Published: March 2022

O presente artigo toma por objetivo analisar, principalmente, a função e a importância do conjunto de teses coletivamente denominadas “messianismo benjaminiano” no contexto geral do ensino de História. Para tanto, uma revisão bibliográfica de alguns dos principais livros e artigos de e sobre Walter Benjamin foi realizada, alvejando-se determinar o curso de ação apropriado para historiadores e professores da disciplina, à luz das teses benjaminianas, diante do contexto de empobrecimento dos atos narrativos e de influência paulatinamente maior da chamada “história dos vencedores”, apoiada pelas instituições de ensino e pela mentalidade hegemônica sobre a História no meio social. Com dita análise, busca-se demonstrar, em primeiro lugar, a presença constante de alusões e glorificações à marcha dos vencedores na forma atual do ensino de história, tal qual a possibilidade de pensar o devir de forma distinta, qual seja, tendo em mente os inúmeros grupos sociais subalternizados por dito processo e, por fim, a necessidade de diálogo entre tais teses e o processo de ensino da disciplina histórica em todos os níveis. Desta forma, o artigo procura evidenciar a inevitável humanização da História por meio do messianismo, tal qual a indispensabilidade de tal fenômeno.

The consumer literature of social networks underscores the growing importance of this new marketing channel in on-line connection and engagement with social customers. The Internet and social media transformed the interaction between customers and brands dramatically. The literature studied on social media involvement identifies gaps may concern future scholars. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, activities, events and interests within their individual networks. Social media content are more likely to spread faster and quicker than any other object in the context of awareness. Apart from customer engagement, website traffic and brand awareness social media is playing an important role in the consumer buying decision making.
Urban Forest Impacts on Regional Cooling and Heating Energy Use: Sacramento County Case Study
Authors: Simpson James
Published: March 2022

Urban forests impact energy use for cooling and heating as a result of their moderating influence on climate. To evaluate the regional magnitude of these impacts, a large-scale analysis framework was developed and applied to Sacramento County, California, as a case study. Heating, cooling, and peak electrical energy use changes resulting from modification of solar radiation, air temperature, and wind speed by the existing urban forest were estimated for representative residential and commercial buildings. This is combined with building age and size, canopy and tree cover, and tree density (trees/ha) for 71 county subdivisions. Annual cooling savings are approximately 157 GWh (US$18.5 million) per year—12% of total air conditioning in the county. Net effects on heating are small, with 145 TJ (US$1.3 million) saved annually. Peak energy-use reductions result in avoided costs of US$6 million. The resulting large-scale analysis incorporates a manageable level of detail not previously available. Sensitivity of results to selected input data is demonstrated.
Effect of Organic and Mineral Mulches on Soil Properties and Growth of Fairview Flame® Red Maple Trees
Authors: Iles Jeffery , Dosmann Michael
Published: March 2022

Five mineral mulches (crushed red brick, pea gravel, lava rock, carmel rock, and river rock) and 3 organic mulches (finely screened pine bark, pine wood chips, and shredded hardwood bark) were evaluated over 2 years to determine their influence on soil temperature, moisture, and pH, and to quantify their effect on growth of Fairview Flame® red maple (Acer rubrum L). Soil temperatures were highest and moisture percentages lowest under the mineral mulches and nonmulched control. Soil pH readings were highest under shredded bark and wood chips, and lowest in the nonmulched control. Trees growing in river rock, crushed brick, pea gravel, and carmel rock had larger stem calipers than those growing in shredded bark plots. Crushed brick, pea gravel, and carmel rock treatments also resulted in greater leaf dry mass than did shredded bark. These results, however, should not be interpreted as an indictment of organic mulches. Because stem caliper and leaf dry mass measurements of trees growing in wood chips and any of the mineral mulches were not statistically different, blanket statements and generalizations regarding the performance of woody plants mulched with organic or mineral (rock) materials are unwise.
An Indoor Mobile Robot Localization in perspective of Analysis and Performance using Unscented Kalman Filter
Authors: Ali Rashid , He Yongping , Fu Wenpeng , Cao Zhiqiang
Published: March 2022

This paper describes a method in an indoor environment for the estimation and position, using an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). The UKF algorithm applied for the position estimation proposing a new measurement uncertainty model that fixes the error covariance according to the distance measurement. In addition, this approach sets the non-diagonal component of the error covariance matrix for the uncertainty of the speed information and the measurement uncertainty to a value other than zero. This method is evaluated through an experiment using a wheel-type mobile robot with an LRF sensor in an indoor environment. In this experiment, we differentiate the estimation execution of the proposed approach with a conventional method that does not employ an adaptive uncertainty model. Moreover, the results improved the estimation performance by setting the non-diagonal component of the error covariance to a value other than zero. The main emphasis of this paper is to implement a practical UKF method for location estimation of a mobile robot and analyze it with better performance.
A juvenilização na educação de jovens e adultos: o perfil dos alunos e das alunas jovens da Região dos Inconfidentes-MG
Authors: Araújo Regina Magna Bonifacio , Coutrim Rosa Maria da Exaltação
Published: March 2022

O artigo aborda os resultados parciais da pesquisa intitulada A juvenilização da Educação de Jovens e Adultos: compreendendo o fenômeno e buscando alternativas para a educação nesta modalidade de ensino. Os jovens alunos e alunas da EJA são sujeitos com trajetórias escolares distintas daqueles que cursam o que identificamos como “ensino regular” pois, em muitos casos, possuem histórias de vida marcadas por rupturas, reprovações, discriminação, indisciplina e evasão da sala de aula. Com esta pesquisa empírica, nos propusemos responder à seguinte questão: quem é o jovem com menos de 18 anos que frequenta os cursos de EJA na Região dos Inconfidentes, em Minas Gerais? Para responder a pergunta, traçamos, como principal objetivo, conhecer qual o perfil do estudante jovem da EJA nas escolas públicas dos municípios da Região dos Inconfidentes. Os dados revelam jovens e adultos que buscam a EJA independentemente do gênero, pois, dos 1.106 questionários aplicados, 588 são mulheres e 518 são homens. Destes, 592 possuem menos de 25 anos. Dos jovens com menos de 18 anos, 82,3% moram com os pais e apenas 27,1% não trabalham. Trata-se de um perfil de estudante muito diferente do adulto trabalhador que frequentada as salas de aula da EJA e que necessita de políticas públicas específicas para atender às suas demandas.
A universidade e a função educativa da pesquisa para o desvelamento dos mecanismos de desumanização utilizados por perpetradores de violações de direitos humanos no regime militar
Authors: Silva Alexsander de Carvalho , Brennand Edna Gusmão de Góes
Published: March 2022

O artigo mostra a relevância da pesquisa científica para a geração de conhecimento para reconstituição da memória, corroborando que esse processo pode levar a atitudes propositivas de compartilhamento, enfrentamento e reparação, não só no caso das atrocidades cometidas durante a Ditadura Militar, mas também nos instrumentaliza para a ação diante de outros processos históricos que demandem uma posição da sociedade. O objetivo foi investigar a atuação dos perpetradores de violações de direitos humanos na ditadura militar brasileira em ações penais ajuizadas no Ministério Público Federal (MPF). Foram analisadas 31 ações penais entre 2012 e 2018, ocorridas em São Paulo e no Rio de Janeiro. Os dados permitem iluminar como o regime militar montou um sistema de repressão envolvendo vários órgãos públicos capitaneados pelo exército. As violações tiveram como perpetradores militares e civis, até mesmo médicos legistas. As funções de cada parte do sistema eram bem delineadas e todas em articulação atuavam para a consecução do objetivo final: impedir que o regime instalado desde 1964 tivesse oposição. Os resultados apresentados contribuem para o desvelamento de formas de violação de direitos humanos no regime militar e vão ao encontro dos preceitos contidos no Programa Mundial de Educação em Direitos Humanos, que advoga a construção de uma cultura universal de direitos humanos por meio do conhecimento, de habilidades e atitudes, e aponta para as instituições de ensino superior a nobre tarefa de formação de cidadãos(ãs) hábeis para participar de uma sociedade livre, democrática e tolerante.
Benjamin’s Ecologue: Language and Environmental Trauma in the Anthropocene
Authors: Johannssen Dennis
Published: March 2022

Walter Benjamin’s theory of language has ecocritical implications. His panlogue, the idea that everything speaks, includes an ecologue––an understanding of natural environments based on the stories of exploitation they communicate. Benjamin’s ecologue questions the supremacy attached to the uniqueness and superiority of human language. At the same time, it preserves the task of human language to turn the wounds of the past into political narratives that interrupt the cycle of environmental destruction. This article examines Benjamin’s theory of language from an ecological perspective, discussing the objection of anthropomorphism, the sadness and mourning of nature, and the pedagogical impulse of a weak ecological power in Benjamin’s political historiography.

Objectives

IgG4-related disease is a potentially systemic disease mimicking and overlapping with different autoimmune diseases, such as primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS). The involvement of salivary glands, previously called Mikulicz’s disease, has been reclassified as IgG4-related sialadenitis (SA). The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of IgG4-SA in a cohort of Italian Caucasian patients presenting with xerostomia and to evaluate the eventual overlap between IgG4-SA and pSS.

Material and methods

We included 154 patients – 15 males and 139 females, mean age 54.18 ±14.24 years, who underwent minor salivary gland biopsy between March and December 2019 for xerostomia. Histopathology was evaluated using Chisholm-Mason (CM) and focus score (FS) for pSS and immunohistochemical study with IgG4 staining for IgG4-SA were performed. Serum autoantibodies (anti-SSa/RoAb, anti-SSB/LaAb, antinuclear antibodies, rheumatoid factor) were also assessed.

Results

In 69 patients (44.8%) FS 0 was found, while FS ≥ 1 was presented in 85 (55.2%). Chisholm-Mason score < 3 and CM ≥ 3 was found in 73 (47.4%) and 81 (52.6%) cases, respectively. IgG4/high-power field level was 20 in 3 pSS patients (1.9%), but none of them had an IgG4/IgG ratio ≥ 40, as well as tissue fibrosis with storiform pattern, obliterative vasculitis, and tissue eosinophilia. The diagnosis of pSS, was confirmed in 92 patients (59.74%). No patient was definitively diagnosed with an IgG4-related disease.

Conclusions

In the case of xerostomia, the evaluation of the histopathological specimen for IgG4 should not be routinely performed, at least in an Italian-based Caucasian population. Moreover, immunohistochemistry should not be requested in the case of a negative result of biopsy for pSS.

Published: March 2022

O presente artigo busca investigar a legitimidade política da execução fiscal na seara da Justiça Federal, com base no binômio fiscal eficiência-justiça. Nesse sentido, lança-se a hipótese de que há uma crise de legitimidade no modelo de execução contra devedores de tributos. Essa é verificada no âmbito desta pesquisa a partir de referenciais empíricos colhidos de revisão de literatura no tocante aos anos de 2011 e 2013, em especial, para, ao fim, ser vista como verídica. Em termos gerais, objetiva-se a apresentação de um panorama compreensivo da situação da execução fiscal na Justiça Federal, de modo a explicitar os limites do modelo.
O ORDENAMENTO COERCITIVO DE HANS KELSEN: UMA ANÁLISE (CRÍTICA) ACERCA DA CENTRALIDADE DA SANÇÃO
Authors: Simon Azevedo Nascimento Maria Cândida
Published: March 2022

Estudar clássicos como a Teoria Pura do Direito de Hans Kelsen é de suma importância para entender, ao menos minimamente, a história e a origem do Direito. Não se trata de uma teoria ultrapassada, mas sim uma das mais (senão a mais) importante teoria do direito já desenvolvida. O caráter coercitivo de um ordenamento jurídico encontra seu respaldo através da sanção, elemento central da estática jurídica kelseniana. Isto posto, o presente estudo objetiva estudar especialmente as concepções de estática jurídica propostas por Hans Kelsen, no tocante à centralidade da sanção, bem como as críticas de outros autores impostas a essa particularidade. Nesse sentido, questiona-se: em que medida o Direito pode ter a sansão como questão central da estática do ordenamento jurídico e quais são possíveis substituições para essa centralidade? Por certo é notória a existência de normas que estatuam sanções em qualquer ordenamento jurídico, mas trazer a sanção para o centro da estática do Direito é, de certa forma, um conceito insuficiente para explicar a complexidade de um ordenamento jurídico. Dessa forma, as teoria propostas por autores como Norberto Bobbio, Herbert Hart, assim como Pontes de Miranda, se mostram mais adequadas e menos radicais no tocante ao assunto estudado.
O DIREITO À EDUCAÇÃO AOS ADOLESCENTES EM CONFLITO COM A LEI E SUA APLICABILIDADE NOS CENTROS SOCIOEDUCATIVOS
Authors: Sella Thiene Nogueira , Motta Ivan Dias da
Published: March 2022

O presente artigo versa sobre a questão dos adolescentes em conflito com a lei, os que percorrem uma trajetória no contexto social marcada por intitulações estigmatizantes e degradantes. Entretanto, tem-se o direito à educação, como uma possível mudança dessa realidade, a partir do aperfeiçoamento educacional nos centros socioeducacionais, contribuindo na reeducação e reinserção desses adolescentes infratores na sociedade. A internação constitui medida socioeducativa privativa de liberdade, aplicada nos centros de socioeducação e sujeita aos princípios que regem o atendimento socioeducativo, especialmente, os de brevidade, excepcionalidade e respeito à condição inerente do adolescente como pessoa em desenvolvimento. Este trabalho discorre sobre as legislações pertinentes ao tema e problematiza a garantia do direito à educação ao adolescente infrator, alvo de debates entre os estudiosos desde a promulgação do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente no ano de 1990. A análise recairá sobre a medida socioeducativa de privação de liberdade, a qual deveria ter um enfoque pedagógico e não punitivo, conforme as premissas do Sistema Nacional de Atendimento Socioeducativo - SINASE. O texto aborda ainda o direito à educação enquanto parte de uma integralidade de políticas públicas prioritárias, destinadas aos adolescentes que se encontram com seus direitos violados a partir do momento em que passam a ser tutelados pelo Estado.

SEPARAÇÃO DAS TEORIAS CRÍTICA CONTEMPORÂNEAS DO MATERIALISMO DIALÉTICO: as não-implicações no processo de descontração do Estado democrático de Direito Brasileiro.
Authors: Xavier Felipe Rodrigues
Published: March 2022

O artigo pretende analisar teorias críticas contemporâneas apartadas do materialismo dialético e as consequências desta separação para a força deste criticismo para auxiliar na contenção ou reversão do amplo desmonte do frágil e incipiente Estado Democrático de Direito brasileiro, instaurado em 1988, mas constantemente sob o influxo de movimentos de construção e desconstrução. Trata-se, enfim, do conflito entre teoria e práxis, o qual encontra milenar ilustração no mito da caverna platônico e, mais especificamente quanto ao tema do artigo, da relação e das diferenças entre a teoria fundamentada no materialismo dialético para com todas as demais.
