Authors: Морозов Василий , Morozov Vasilii
Published: January 2018

The article describes the main elements of the education system, including the history of education as a direction of state social policy and its main points from ancient times to the present day. It also describes the elements of progress and regress in the education system, starting with school education. The author presents the main problems appeared in the last decade in the education system with the emergence of new types of education and educational institutions of different levels. The article touches upon the main aspects of Russian education of the last few years – such as a possible alternative to the Centralized State Exam (CSE). The article lists the disadvantages of the Western system of education, appeared in recent years in the Russian education; implemented "innovative" ideas of education, which often have a negative impact on the rules of the Russian education existing for many years. Also the author lists possible methods of fighting with the Pro-Western elements of education, their advantages and disadvantages at different levels. The key positive and negative elements of innovation in the education system, as well as the possible consequences of such action are identified. It is concluded that the solution to the problem of regression in the education system is a very important component of the state policy in this sphere and the main aim of it is to prevent the degradation of this sphere of human activity. The author specifies the possible directions and ways of solving most of the problems arising in the educational field with possible using innovations implemented in the past few years.

The 19th Party Congress: Personnel Changes and Policy Guidelines
Authors: BRØDSGAARD KJELD ERIK , CHRISTENSEN NIS HØYRUP
Published: January 2018

The 19th Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in BeijingOctober 18-24 2017. Leading up to the congress there was intense speculation concerning the new line-up of the most important leadership bodies of the CPC: the Politburo and the Politburo Standing Committee. Would the Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) continue to consist of seven members, or would it be expanded to nine members, as was the case during Jiang Zemin's era, or would it instead be reduced to five members, as was the case during the late 1980s? Would unwritten rules such as '68 down, 67 up' be observed? Or would veteran leaders such as Wang Qishan (69) continue to serve on the committee? Would Xi Jinping pack the Politburo and the PSC with his own close allies, or would he try to achieve a factional balance observing the interests of former leaders such as Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao? There was also much speculation concerning Xi Jinping's status. Would the 'Chairman of Everything' have hisname and thought written into the CPC Constitution alongside that of MaoZedong and Deng Xiaoping and ahead of his two immediate predecessors?Xi Jinping's report to the Party congress was also awaited with muchinterest. Such a report is usually a long document setting out the Party'spriorities and policy objectives for the next five-year period. Would XiJinping's report signal new policy initiatives, and would it outline strategicguidelines reaching beyond 2022? This article examines these questionsand assesses the future impact of the Party congress on Chinese politics.
A importância da microbiota no organismo humano e sua relação com a obesidade
Authors: Ramirez Ana Valeria Garcia
Published: January 2018

Este trabalho é uma revisão bibliográfica com o objetivo de descrever a Importância da microbiota no
organismo humano e sua relação com a obesidade. Foram realizadas compilações bibliográficas de
artigos científicos originais e de revisão em revistas indexadas, Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia,
Scielo PubMed/Medline, SeCS. O trabalho descreveu que a microbiota é uma população de
organismos microscópios que habitam o corpo humano. A microbiota intestinal influencia nas doenças
gastrointestinais, e em uma variedade de condições imunológicas, como o diabetes mellitus tipo1,
doenças cardiovasculares, doenças desmielinizantes autoimunes, alergia, asma, e na obesidade.
Há uma associação entre a microbiota intestinal e o peso corporal, havendo uma modificação na
composição das bactérias intestinais em obesos diferente das pessoas com IMC normal. O aumento do
número de microrganismo promotores da saúde no trato gastrointestinal pode ser feito pela alimentação
com prebióticos e probióticos, os quais modificam a composição da microbiota, formando uma barreira
contra as bactérias ruins do ecossistema. O trabalho mostrou que com a integridade intestinal é possível
evitar o surgimento de doenças impedindo a entrada de microrganismos patógenos e antígenos.

Authors: Trivunic-Dajko Sandra , Bogdanovic Jovo , Andrejic-Visnjic Bojana , Popovic Milan , Hes Ondrej
Published: January 2018

Background/Aim. Ultrastructural analysis of tumours has shown many common characteristics of certain neoplasms, as well as their specificities. Primary renal epithelial tumours with granular oncocytic cytoplasm is a very heterogeneous group in their histological origin and biological behaviour, which results in a difference in treatment and prognosis of the disease, making accurate morphological diagnosis necessary. The aim of this study was to determine ultrastructural similarities and differences among primary renal epithelial tumours with granular oncocytic cytoplasm. Methods. The analysis of archival and routine material in the archives of the Department of Pathology, University Hospital in Plzen, Czech Republic, as well as archival and routine material in the Centre for Pathology and Histology, Clinical Centre of Vojvodina in Novi Sad, discovered 346 primary renal epithelial tumours with granular oncocytic cytoplasm and divided them into 5 groups: 1) renal oncocytoma (RO) (234 tumours), 2) oncocytic papillary renal cell carcinoma (OPRCC) (12 tumours), 3. sporadic renal hybrid oncocytic/ chromophobe tumour (HOCT) without evidence of Birt Hogg Dub? syndrome (BHD) (14 tumours), 4) chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC) (21 tumours) and 5) granular renal cell carcinoma (RCC) [64 tumours + 1 clear cell RCC (CRCC) with hyaline globules]. Ultrastructural analysis of tumour cells at the subcellular level was done using electron microscope (Philips electron microscope TEM 208) at the Department of Pathology, University Hospital in Plzen, Czech Republic. Cellular organelles and pigments were evaluated in 5 tumours from each group according to the simple random sample principle with a total of 30 analysed tumours. Results. In all analysed primary renal epithelial tumours with granular oncocytic, cytoplasm dominant organelles were mitochondria. Specific ultrastructural characteristics of RO were round mitochondria with lamellar cristae, whereas ChRCC had numerous typical cytoplasmic microvesicles 100?700 nm large and mitochondria with tubulovesicular, lamellar and circular cristae. Ultrastructural specificity of hybrid tumours were rare microvesicles and numerous mitochondria of O-PRCC mitochondria with lamellar cristae and small intracytoplasmic vesicles, 100?200 nm large, and of granular RCC, in addition to mitochondria, also glassy hyaline globules (GHG). Conclusion. Ultrastructural analysis indicates mitochondria as the dominant organelle in the analysed tumours. Electron microscopy showed specificities, i.e., differences in appearance of cristae, presence and size of vesicles as well as deposition of pigment in and out of cytoplasm and glassy hyaline globules.

Background/Aim. Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents one of the most common cancers worldwide. CRC is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages with poor prognosis, indicating the need for new diagnostic and prognostic markers. The aim of this study was to determine systemic and fecal values of galectin- 1 (gal-1) and ratios between gal-1 and proinflammatory cytokines: tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1?) and interferon gamma (IFN-?), in the patients with CRC and the relationship with clinicopathological aspects of the disease. Methods. The blood samples and feces liquid fraction of 58 patients with CRC were analyzed. The serum and fecal levels of TNF-?, IL-1? and IFN-? and gal-1 were measured using sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Results. The fecal level of gal-1 was increased in the CRC patients with higher nuclear grade and poor tumor tissue differentiation. The gal-1/TNF-? ratio in the serum and feces had a higher trend in the patients with the advanced tumor-nodemetastasis (TNM) stage as well as the detectable lymphatic and blood vessel invasion. The gal-1/TNF-? and gal-1/IFN-? ratios were increased in the serum of patients with presence of lung/liver metastasis or peritoneal carcinomatosis, while the enhanced gal-1/IL-1 ratio was detected only in the serum of patients with lung metastasis. A positive correlation between the gal-1 value in feces and histological differentiation of tumor and biomarkers alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and cancer antigen- 19-9 (CA 19-9), respectively, was also observed. The fecal values of gal-1 higher than 13,708.29 pg/g presented a highly sensitive and specific marker for histological differentiation of tumor tissue. Conclusion. We believe that the predomination of gal-1 over pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-?, IL-1? and IFN- ? in the patients with advanced and progressive CRC may implicate on an immunomodulatory role of gal-1 in the limiting ongoing proinflammatory processes. The fecal values of gal-1 can be used as a valuable marker for the severity of CRC.
Transferencias directas y su contribución a la reducción de la desigualdad en México / Direct Transfers and their contribution to reducing inequality in Mexico
Authors: Barboza Carrasco Irene , Guillén Velázquez Julio , Grajales Castillejos Octavio
Published: January 2018

En sociedades con un alto nivel de desigualdad, el Estado implementa medidas para disminuirlas. Puede utilizar herramientas como el gasto social directo (transferencias en efectivo y en especie), impuestos y gastos fiscales. El gasto social se ha convertido en la principal herramienta en México para reducir la desigualdad, si bien el resultado no es completamente satisfactorio. El objetivo del documento fue mostrar los sectores de la población que más beneficios obtienen ante las transferencias externas, como pueden ser las transferencias gubernamentales realizadas a través del gasto social. Para el análisis, se utilizaron los multiplicadores contables obtenidos de una de matriz de contabilidad social construida para el año 2012, también se realizó la descomposición de los mismos para analizar las transferencias directas, efectos cruzados y efectos circulares. Los resultados muestran que los hogares del decil I impulsan fuertemente la economía si reciben la inyección exógena unitaria, ya que presentan altas propensiones medias a consumir. Su contribución es mayor que si se apoya cualquier actividad productiva,. El efecto contrario sucede con el decil IX y X. Además, los hogares del decil X se benefician considerablemente cuando el resto de las cuentas endógenas son estimuladas y captan ingresos por los factores productivos que poseen, principalmente el capital. A través de la descomposición de multiplicadores, se muestra con detalle la desigualdad del ingreso entre los hogares. Una inyección exógena unitaria en el decil X genera multiplicadores pequeños en el resto de los hogares, pero altos sobre sí mismos. Lo contrario sucede en el decil I, en el que las transferencias de efectos multiplicadores son más grandes sobre el resto de los hogares y pequeños sobre sí mismos. En conclusión, las transferencias monetarias y en especie para atender los hogares de bajos ingresos han impulsado la economía, al incrementar el consumo de bienes y servicios. Los hogares ubicados en los deciles de bajos ingresos presentan una mayor capacidad que los grupos de ingresos altos para generar beneficios a la economía, al incrementar los ingresos de las actividades, factores e instituciones, pero tienen poca capacidad de beneficiarse cuando el resto de la economía es estimulada.

Authors: Akbar Nashr , Haeikaly Muhamad
Published: January 2018

The existence of financial intermediation institution is quite necessary to support the economic activity. It serves both surplus unit and deficit unit to meet their wants whereby the former wants to invest his money in the lack of skill, while the latter wants to develop their businesses but does not have adequate capital. Bank institution is the most common institution serving the people’s need of financial intermediation. However, bank has several weaknesses that may harm and hamper the economic development. This paper aims to explore the weaknesses of banks as financial intermediary institutions and then promote Islamic Private Equity Fund as alternative. The result showed that the weaknesses of banks are: 1) fractional reserve banking, 2) fiat money, 3) debt-based investment, 4) risk averse. Furthermore, the study also found that Islamic Private Equity Fund can serve as an ideal financial intermediary institution due to some strengths: 1) no fractional reserve banking, 2) equity-based investment and 3) risk taker

Published: January 2018

The purpose of this study was to find out the correlation between the theoretical model of the organization’s capability contribution, participation, and the climate of change to the commit-ment to change. Subjects were Islamic University lecturers in Indonesia who experienced the organizational change. Findings reveal (a) the theoretical model designed in this study fitted the empirical data; (b) the determination coefficient (R2) of the commitment to change was 15.1%, which showed that 15.1% of the commitment to change can be explained or predicted through the organization’s capability, participation, the climate of change and the open-mindedness to changes variables; (c) the model was acceptable based on the fit model test with 60.785 chi-square value and .275 (> .05) probability, the CFI value was .997 (almost 1), and the RMSEA value was .022 (< .08). This study has found out the determining theoretical model of the commitment to change based on the organization’s capability, participation, the climate of change, and the open-mindedness to changes’ roles in establishing the commitment to change. The open-mindedness to changes as a mediator is significant, because without the mediator, the organization’s capability, participation, and the climate of change have no effects to the commitment to change.
The Role of Cultural Value Orientations and Sexual Desire in Predicting Cybersex Behavior in Unmarried Young Adults
Authors: Hartoyo Virgon , Abraham Juneman
Published: January 2018

The presence of Internet technology has opened up the emergence of new forms of sexual behavior, such as cybersex, which seems more massive nowadays. Regardless of the merits intended by the facilitating technology, in the context of Indonesian culture in which premarital sexual behavior (especially cybersex) is perceived as immoral, it is important to determine predictors of cybersex in order to minimize (or possibly eliminate) its negative impacts. This predictive-correlational designed study on 333 unmarried young adults participants (144 males, 189 females; mean of age = 20.724 years old, standard deviation of age = 1.902 years) employed the five dimensions of Hofstede‟s cultural value orientations (at individual level) and sexual desire as the predictors. The finding of this study was that only the long term orientation and sexual desire play significant roles in predicting cybersex, in positive ways; while four other cultural value orientations (power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity/femininity, and collectivism/individualism) are not able to predict it.
Argument Evaluation Test for Critical Thinking Ability Assessment: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Lunggito Christin N. K. , Aditomo Anindito , Siaputra Ide Bagus
Published: January 2018

Critical thinking is a highly valued learning outcome in all educational levels. This study explores students ability to evaluate arguments as one manifestation of critical thinking. Using a newly developed instument (the Argument Evaluation Test), we describe high school graduates’ (N = 2201) ability to distinguish between sound and fallacious arguments, without explicit instruction. The results indicate that about half of the participants were able to spontaneously evaluate arguments and identify logical fallacies. This is significant considering that argumentation and logical fallacies are not part of the school curriculum in Indonesia. Thus, the ability to identify at least some types of logical fallacies could be obtained through informal learning and therefore the knowledge underlying this ability is likely to be implicit. Another finding was that the ability to evaluate arguments seem to vary depending on the type of fallacy, with ad hominem arguments easier to be identified as fallacious compared to ad populum arguments, as well as demographic variables such as gender and ethnicity.
No Harm No Foul Behavior and Consumption Motivation Among Indonesian Students
Authors: Abraham Juneman , Maulida Ammeta Firly
Published: January 2018

Large scale corruption could start from everyday unethical daily behavior. Due to its “everyday” nature, the effects of such behavior often go unnoticed. This research examines the no harm no foul behavior (NHNF) as a behavior that is located in the “gray area” but can be perceived as unethical by some people. The psychological predictors of the behavior will be investigated, i.e. utilitarian and hedonic motivation in a world of consumption. Participants were late adolescent students recruited through convenience sampling technique in the Greater Area of Jakarta, the Capital of Indonesia (148 males, 72 females; Mage = 20.055 years old, SDage = 1.181 years). It was found that utilitarian motivation can predict the evaluation of NHNF as an unethical behavior in a positive direction while hedonic motivation was not found to be able to predict it. Suggestions to improve the NHNF measurement and implications also issues to be considered when applying the results of the study will be discussed at the end of this article.

Published: January 2018

Most working women find it difficult to get work-family balance because when they are in one domain, the other suffers. Work-family balance will be useful for organization, family, and the individual himself. This research was aimed at finding out factors that influence workfamily balance of working mothers in Semarang, using descriptive qualitative method. The research subject was selected using purposive technique with informant characteristics as follow: working mother, working husband, living together with husband, and having child under 18 years old. Based on the research result, it was revealed that there are six factors influencing work-family balance, either from internal or external factors. Internal factors that influence work-family balance are commitment, understanding towards women’s role, and individual’s character. Meanwhile, external factors that influence work-family balance are social support, either from husband, family, supervisor, or colleagues, the presence of a child, and working autonomy.
Empathy of Regular Junior High School Students on Children With Special Needs
Authors: Meiliani Rheni , Hapsari Elisabet W.
Published: January 2018

Children with special needs (ABK) who are enrolled in regular (public) schools will elicit empathy or negative behavior, because regular students cannot comprehend and tolerate the behavior of the ABK. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between empathy and attitude towards ABK on students of a regular junior high school in Surabaya. Subjects are 11-16 year old students (N = 25) who have interacted with an ABK, obtained through total population study. Data was collected with scales for attitude towards ABK and empathy, and was further analyzed with a non-parametric Kendall's Tau-b correlation. Results showed values for r = .229 and p = .124 (p >.5), indicating a lack of correlation between empathy and attitude towards ABK on regular students of the junior high school. This lack of correlation was argued to be because attitude includes a cognitive component that acts as a source of information, and empathy of an individual is objective and situational. It was further argued that external factors such as experience, culture, learning process, direct contact, and information can also contribute to the lack of relationship between the two variables. Descriptively, a majority of subjects have a moderately positive to very positive attitude (92%) and empathy towards ABK was categorized as very high (96%).

Authors: Adishesa Made Syanesti , Halim Magdalena S.
Published: January 2018

The aim of this study was to examine the diagnostic utility of the Indonesian version of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV-ID) in classifying between typical aging and Alzheimer’s dementia (AD). We administered the WAIS-IV-ID to 47 AD patients (28 females and 19 males; mean age 68 ± 8 years). Severity of dementia was classified into three categories: mild (20 patients), moderate (13 patients), and severe (14 patients). On the basis of receiver operatic characteristic (ROC) analysis, the areas under the curve (AUCs) of each index are as follows: (a) .83, 95% CI [0.738, 0.895] for Full IQ, (b) .88, 95% CI [0.81, 0.94] for Perceptual Reasoning, (c) .79, 95% CI [0.69, 0.86] for Processing Speed, (d) .78, 95% CI [0.69, 0.86] for Verbal Comprehension, and (e) .71, 95% CI [0.61, 0.8] for Working Memory. These AUC values indicate that the WAIS-IV-ID has moderate accuracy in identifying people with AD. This study also raised awareness for the necessity of a standardized process in translating and using cognitive tests, especially in clinical practices.

Published: January 2018

Exercising at a fitness center is one of the methods to obtain an ideal body shape.The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were differences in body dissatisfactions based on the type of exercise motivation. Participants were 100 male members of a fitness center who exercise at least twice a week for at least one hour per session. Measures used were body dissatisfaction questionnaire (Tylka, Bergeron, & Schwartz, 2005) and exercise motivation questionnaire by Markland and Tobin (cited in Vlachopoulos, 2012). Results showed a difference in body dissatisfaction between men with internal exercise motivation and those with external exercise motivation (Z = - 3.142, p < .05). Men who engaged exercises as driven by external exercise motivation had higher body dissatisfaction than those with internal motivation. This indicates that men with external exercise motivation were more dissatisfied with their body image, who were more likely to quit exercising if they did not obtain the expected result, or else they became obsessive with exercises because they was dissatisfied with their figures.

Published: January 2018

The aim of this study was to compare the intelligence of Indonesians residing in different islands using the Indonesian WAIS-IV (WAIS-IV-ID), which could be further considered in standardized norm development. Statistical analyses using ANOVAs were performed on the 15 subtests, four indices, and the Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) of the WAIS-IV-ID. This study involved 506 healthy participants, the majority were females, in productive age-groups ranging from 16 to 59 years old, and from middle educational background. Results showed that three indices and 13 subtest scores had significant results and the sample from Java Island had significantly higher scores than the sample from Sumatra, Borneo, and Sulawesi Islands. Based on the conducted analysis, the normative data of the WAIS-IV-ID need to be classified differently between islands or between Java Island and Non-Java Island for more accurate score interpretation. The interpretations and implications of the findings are discussed.

Published: January 2018

Although Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a common mental illness worldwide (1-3%), there was no data about the prevalence of BD or bipolar spectrum disorder in Indonesia. This study aimed to screen bipolar disorders in various communities Surabaya and its variations of symptoms characteristics. Through a cross-sectional design and non-random sampling survey (N = 1,104) was conducted using the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), a screening tool for BDs, and validated self-report instrument. The SPSS 17.0 and chi square was used for analysis. Results showed the lifetime proportion of MDQ positive was 10.7% (n = 118). The proportions of MDQ positive by gender were 4.8% males and 5.9% females, no gender (p = .444) and educational background differences (p = .470). The highest proportions of MDQ positive were 4.4% in the 25-60 year group, 4% having an education level of senior high school and 6.7% having unmarried status. Among participants who had MDQ positive, 22% had an awareness of having psychological problems, unfortunately only 5.9% had visited a medical professional. Overall, the lifetime proportion of suspected bipolar disorder spectrum in Surabaya was higher than that reported in other studies. Conducting a periodic research regarding other psychosocial-cultural backgrounds will help clinicians and government identify the exact prevalence of bipolar disorder in the society and their risk factors. Furthermore, it will help to prevent the increased rate of bipolar disorders.
Moisture and temperature in a proppant-enveloped silt block of a recharge dam reservoir: Laboratory experiment and 1-D mathematical modelling

Published: January 2018

Mosaic 3-D cascade of parallelepiped-shaped silt blocks, which sandwich sand- lled cracks, has been discovered in the eld and tested in lab experiments. Controlled wetting-drying of these blocks, collected from a dam reservoir, mimics field ponding-desiccation conditions of the topsoil layer subject to caustic solar radiation, high temperature and wind, typical in the Batinah region of Oman. In 1-D analytical modelling of a transient Richards’ equation for vertical evaporation, the method of small perturbations is applied, assuming that the relative permeability is Avery-anov’s 3.5-power function of the moisture content and capillary pressure is a given (measured) function. A linearized advective dispersion equation is solved with respect to the second term in the series expansion of the moisture content as a function of spatial coordinates and time. For a single block of a nite thickness we solve a boundary value problem with a no- ow condition at the bottom and a constant moisture content at the surface. Preliminary comparisons with theta-, TDR- probes measuring the moisture content and temperature at several in-block points are made. Results corroborate that a 3-D heterogeneity of soil physical properties, in particular, horizontal and vertical capillary barriers emerging on the interfaces between silt and sand generate eco-niches with stored soil water compartments favourable for lush vegetation in desert conditions. Desiccation significantly increases the temperature in the blocks and re-wetting of the blocks reduces the daily average and peak temperatures, the latter by almost 15°C. This is important for planning irrigation in smartly designed soil substrates and sustainability of wild plants in the region where the top soil peak temperature in the study area exceeds 70°C in Summer but smartly structured soils maintain lash vegetation. Thee layer of dry top-blocks acts as a thermal insulator for the subjacent layers of wet blocks that may host the root zone of woody species.
Designing the Implementation of Model and Instructional Media
Authors: Mawardi Mawardi
Published: January 2018

The indicator of a professional teachers is the extent to which the teachers has the ability to design instructional well. A good instructional design will effectively achieve the instructional objectives that have been set. The problem that arises is that there is a signal that the teachers implement the learning without first doing systematic instructional design. This paper aims to provide guidance on how instructional components are designed. The instructional components include instructional objectives, materials, model / strategy / method, instructional media and instructional evaluation. The model of instructional component design is using system approach such as Dick model, Carey and Carey. The use of Dick, Carey and Carey model will produce frame of instructional objectives, materials, model / strategy / method, media, and instructional evaluation as needed. Among five components of learning above, the model components and media need to get serious attention because they follow the technology trend. Thus, it needs the signs for choosing and designing the model and the media. The lecturers' view of the process of how the learning act takes place will have implications for the choice of model and the media / delivery technology of the material to be applied. There are two extremes of extreme views about the epistemology of knowledge and the way in which a student's knowledge is acquired, although both are connected through the polar opposite continuum. The two views are: a) an objectivistic view (direct instruction) that is influenced by behavioristic learning theory and cognitive theory, especially information processing theory; b) constructivist views.

OBJECTIVE To determine risk factors for surgical intervention, complications, and outcome in dogs with an esophageal foreign body (EFB).

DESIGN Retrospective observational study.

ANIMALS 224 incidents of EFB in 223 dogs evaluated at a veterinary teaching hospital from 1995 through 2014.

PROCEDURES Hospital records were reviewed to collect data regarding signalment, history, clinical signs, EFB type and location, procedures, complications, and outcomes. Breed distributions were compared between dogs with EFB and the entire canine patient population during the study period. Variables were tested for associations with each other and with outcomes.

RESULTS Terrier breeds were most common (71/233 [30.5%]). Duration of EFB entrapment, body weight, anorexia, lethargy, rectal temperature, and esophageal perforation were associated with the need for surgical intervention. Older age, longer duration of EFB entrapment, and perforation were associated with a poorer prognosis. Endoscopic retrieval or advancement into the stomach was successful for 183 of 219 (83.6%) EFBs, and 16 of 143 (11.2%) entrapments resulted in postprocedural esophageal stricture. Overall median duration of hospitalization was brief (1 day), and the need for surgical intervention was associated with a longer duration. Overall mortality rate was 5.4% (12/223); 90 of 102 (88.2%) dogs with a median follow-up period of 27 months after EFB treatment had an excellent outcome.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Study findings suggested that endoscopic EFB retrieval remains the initial treatment option of choice for affected dogs, provided that esophageal perforation does not necessitate surgical intervention. Although esophageal stricture formation was the most common complication, the overall rate of this outcome was low.

CASE DESCRIPTION A 10-year-old spayed female Rottweiler was referred for evaluation because of a 2-month history of regurgitation and weight loss, despite no apparent change in appetite. The dog had received antiemetic and antacid treatment, without improvement.

CLINICAL FINDINGS Physical examination revealed a low body condition score (2/5), but other findings were unremarkable. Diffuse, global esophageal dilatation was noted on plain thoracic radiographs, and normal motility was confirmed through videofluoroscopic evaluation of swallowing. Transhepatic ultrasonographic and CT examination revealed a circumferential, intraparietal lesion in the distal portion of the esophagus causing distal esophageal or cardial subobstruction and no metastases. Incisional biopsy of the lesion was performed, and findings of histologic examination supported a diagnosis of esophageal leiomyoma.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME In view of numerous possible complications associated with esophageal surgery, the decision was made to palliatively treat the dog by transcardial placement of a self-expanding, covered, nitinol esophageal stent under endoscopic guidance. Two weeks after stent placement, radiography revealed complete migration of the stent into the gastric lumen. Gastrotomy was performed, and the stent was replaced and fixed in place. Twenty-four months after initial stent placement, the dog had a healthy body condition and remained free of previous clinical signs.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE Diffuse benign muscular neoplasia should be considered as a differential diagnosis for acquired esophageal dilatation in adult and elderly dogs. In the dog of this report, transcardial stent placement resulted in resolution of the clinical signs, with no apparent adverse effect on digestive function. The described procedure could be beneficial for nonsurgical treatment of benign esophageal tumors in dogs.

A (IN)EFETIVIDADE DO ACESSO DO INDIVÍDUO AO SISTEMA INTERAMERICANO DE DIREITOS HUMANOS: AS DECISÕES CONTENCIOSAS PROFERIDAS PELA CORTE ENTRE 2012 E 2016
Authors: Menengoti Gonçalves Ribeiro Daniela , De Souza Rocha Maria Luiza
Published: January 2018

O presente estudo analisa a efetividade do acesso do indivíduo à Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos. Inaugurado com a Declaração Americana de Direitos e Deveres do Homem de 1948, o Sistema Interamericano é composto pela Comissão e a Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, destinados a receber e processar resolução de demandas de violação de direitos humanos no âmbito da Organização dos Estados Americanos. Para tanto, o presente artigo desenvolve-se através da análise de decisões proferidas pela Corte no lapso temporal referente aos últimos cinco anos. Busca analisar a efetividade do acesso à Corte, utilizando como parâmetro o tempo entre o fato e a resposta obtida pela vítima no âmbito internacional. Utiliza-se, para tanto, o método de abordagem dedutivo através de expediente procedimental bibliográfico, com pesquisas em textos e análise de casos concretos referentes às decisões contenciosas proferidas pela Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos no período de 2012 a 2016.
APLICAÇÃO CONTEMPORÂNEA DA TEORIA DA CONSTITUCIONALIZAÇÃO SIMBÓLICA À CONSTITUIÇÃO DE 1988

A  dificuldade  de  concretização  da  Constituição  de  1988  é um  tema  inquietante, principalmente quando se leva em consideração a acentuada desigualdade enfrentada pela sociedade brasileira. No Brasil há uma concretização restrita e excludente dos dispositivos constitucionais. Na tentativa de buscar um novo olhar sobre o antigo problema, o presente trabalho se propõe a analisar a viabilidade da teoria da constitucionalização simbólica, formulada  por  Marcelo  Neves,  para  explicar  o  momento  atual  vivido  pela  sociedade brasileira. A partir de uma releitura da teoria sistêmica de Luhmann, Marcelo Neves propõe um novo modelo, adaptado às especificidades de países periféricos, no qual o Brasil desponta como  exemplo  claro.  Na  visão  do  mencionado  estudioso,  em  países  pertencentes  à modernidade  periférica  há  um  bloqueio  permanente  e  estrutural  da  concretização  dos programas jurídico-constitucionais pela injunção de outros códigos sistêmicos, daí porque textos  constitucionais  includentes  contrapõem-se  a  uma  realidade  excludente.  Como decorrência dessa situação, não seria possível sustentar a existência da autonomia do sistema jurídico, daí porque Neves vai concluir ser o Direito um sistema alopoiético, marcado pela sobreposição de outros sistemas, em especial da política. Um indício dessa situação seria verificado através da análise de três princípios constitucionais basilares: a regulação jurídica constitucional do procedimento eleitoral, a separação dos poderes e o respeito aos direitos e garantias fundamentais. Assim, no presente trabalho procura-se tecer uma visão geral sobre o atual estágio de desenvolvimento destes pilares constitucionais, para ao final verificar a adequação da teoria da constitucionalização simbólica para explicar a sociedade brasileira contemporânea.
Estado de Direito, Superação do Positivismo e os Novos Rumos do Constitucionalismo
Authors: Ricardo Schier Adriana Da Costa , Brunken Flores Pedro Henrique

O Direito passou por grandes evoluções no decorrer dos séculos. Primeiro, com o surgimento da Teoria Positivista que buscava afastar o Direito da moral, buscando-se um ideal de justiça. Após, com a superação de tal teoria e da necessidade de se pensar na proteção dos direitos humanos e fundamentais, o constitucionalismo surge e dele, após, decorre a teoria neoconstitucional, onde se dá maior atenção aos princípios estampados no mundo jurídico, possibilitando a interpretação da Constituição e das leis, a fim de garantir na maior medida possível a dignidade do ser humano, a proteção dos direitos fundamentais.

Published: January 2018

Objetivou-se com este trabalho analisar o problema da delimitação da responsabilidade ambiental em danos causados pelos condomínios urbanísticos. A doutrina então revisada considera que a responsabilidade poderá ser solidária entre os agentes que criaram o risco do empreendimento ou somente daquele que causou o dano, portanto dividindo-se em um campo vasto de teorias. O estudo de casos e revisão bibliográfica foi o método utilizado com o escopo de se provar qual teoria de forma mais adequada, se aplica à relação presente entre meio ambiente urbano e condomínios.
