Therapeutic architecture is an approach to healthcare design that integrates elements such as natural light, ventilation, spatial layout, and access to nature to promote healing and enhance the well-being of both patients and medical staff. This study investigates medical doctors' perceptions of the effectiveness of therapeutic architecture in general hospitals across Lagos State, Nigeria. A total of 60 doctors from various medical fields were surveyed through a structured questionnaire, aiming to explore their awareness, knowledge, and evaluation of therapeutic design principles in healthcare environments. The findings revealed that 70% of the respondents were familiar with therapeutic architecture, with most associating it with natural lighting, proper ventilation, and access to nature. Among the architectural elements evaluated, natural lighting was rated as the most impactful, with 85% of respondents agreeing that it positively influences patient recovery and reduces stress. Similarly, 78% of the doctors highlighted the importance of ventilation in preventing infections and improving air quality, particularly in surgical and emergency environments. However, despite the general agreement on the benefits of therapeutic architecture, only 60% of the respondents acknowledged the presence of such design features in their current work environments, indicating a gap between theory and practice. The study also noted varying perceptions across medical specialities, with paediatricians and psychiatrists emphasizing the calming effects of biophilic design, while surgeons prioritized efficient spatial layouts and air quality. Overall, the study concluded that therapeutic architecture is perceived as a valuable tool in enhancing patient care and staff efficiency, though its implementation in Lagos State hospitals is limited by cost constraints, space limitations, and existing infrastructure. The study recommends greater interdisciplinary collaboration between architects and healthcare professionals, retrofitting of older hospital buildings, and government support to encourage the widespread adoption of therapeutic design principles in healthcare environments.

Especially, due to the insisting English-only policies and the rise of multilingualism has led translanguaging to be a bright area of research. Namely, the literature emphasized that foreign language can be scaffolded with native language and these two could be integrated. This notion gave birth to this study as well. This small-scale study aimed to provide a good grasp of the phenomenon of translanguaging and its relation to teachers’ cognitions and practices. The study took place in Bucak, located in Burdur, Turkiye. Four female high school teachers attended the study, all of whom have over 10 years of experience in the field. The data were collected via semi-structured interview. Afterwards, the data were transcribed and analyzed by way of qualitative content analysis. The findings illustrated that the teachers favored translanguaging. Particularly four teachers endorsed that it increases understanding and proclaimed to use it for teaching grammar, three of whom touched upon its function of alleviating stress, only one teacher sticked up for using it for building rapport and many more. Nevertheless, the mindsets of three teachers were not overlapping with their practices. The reason for this might be curriculum-based. Further details were given in the study.

Authors: Lin Feng-Li , Wu Chia-Wei
Published: November 2024

As corporate priorities transition from traditional financial metrics such as earnings per share (EPS) to an integrated emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, both investor and stakeholder expectations have significantly transformed. Modern businesses are increasingly mandated not only to act with urgency but also to cultivate cross-sector partnerships aimed at establishing carbon-reducing ecosystems, thus addressing and mitigating pressing environmental and social risks. Within this shifting landscape, the board of directors assumes a central role, championing sustainable development and strengthening the principles of corporate governance. This study rigorously explores the influence of the board on environmental performance, identifying critical determinants that shape this relationship through a corporate governance lens. Employing a robust random-effects model, this research evaluates a comprehensive panel dataset comprising 5,616 firm-year observations from Taiwan’s electronics sector over the period from 2006 to 2020. Specifically, the study investigates how board size and meeting frequency impact environmental performance metrics. Findings reveal that larger board sizes are positively correlated with enhanced environmental outcomes, whereas meeting frequency does not yield a statistically significant effect on environmental performance. This investigation deepens the theoretical discourse on the intricate nexus between corporate governance and environmental performance while providing actionable insights for corporate leaders and regulatory bodies. By emphasizing the essential role of board composition, particularly board size, this study elucidates the fundamental connection between board structure and a firm’s enduring commitment to sustainability. These findings reinforce a governance framework that promotes long-term ecological stewardship and social responsibility, laying a robust foundation for corporate practices that are both effective and sustainable.

No presente trabalho investigou-se a viabilidade da efetivação dos direitos fundamentais no âmbito do município do Rio de janeiro relacionada a prática da terceirização de serviços, a partir da atuação da procuradoria do município do Rio de Janeiro, no qual foram tecidas considerações sobre a prevalência do princípio fundamental da dignidade da pessoa humana, do valor social do trabalho e da supremacia do interesse público sobre o privado. Para tanto, utilizou-se da doutrina da teoria dos princípios e dos direitos fundamentais de Robert Alexy, bem como de pesquisas de âmbito local e nacional. Chegou-se a conclusão de que terceirizar na Administração Pública municipal do Rio de janeiro é garantir o direito a ter direitos fundamentais, dos trabalhadores e dos administrados, porque cumpre com maestria princípios e valores constitucionais, que privilegiam a supremacia do interesse público, o valor social do trabalho e a dignidade da pessoa humana e concede a oportunidade de efetivar os direitos fundamentais, vez que permite ‘‘o Direito a ter Direitos’’ e que a posição desconfortante do gestor público, exemplificado, pela lenda grega de Dâmocles é amenizada ou extinta pela atuação proativa da PGM-RJ, o que não ocorre com a PGM-SP.

Gênero e Cidade: cinco verbos proibidos às mulheres conjugar na Cidade
Authors: INÊS VIRGÍNIA PRADO SOARES  , ARÍCIA FERNANDES CORREIA
Published: November 2024

Este ensaio aborda as interações entre Gênero, Cidade e Direito, inicialmente explorando a Sociologia Urbana e destacando verbos ligados ao Urbanismo que, devido ao comportamento da sociedade e ao planejamento urbano, são negados às mulheres. Em um segundo viés, a análise jurídica refere-se a teorias e decisões judiciais sobre o tema, prestando uma "licença poética" em homenagem a Elza Soares, que desafiou as restrições impostas às mulheres de sua época. O ensaio propõe um catálogo de verbos representando ações diariamente subtraídas às mulheres no exercício de seu direito à cidade, destacando cinco verbos do Direito à Cidade que Elza Soares incorporou em sua vida e arte. A cantora, uma voz poderosa na defesa dos direitos das mulheres, pessoas negras, LGBTQIA+ e outras minorias, é lembrada por usar sua voz para revelar o que é silenciado, conforme expresso na letra de "O que se Cala" do álbum "Deus é Mulher" (2018). Elza Soares é reconhecida não apenas como uma renomada artista brasileira, mas como uma musa que enfrentou as injustiças e discriminações que não podem ser ignoradas.
O impacto federativo da Reforma Tributária: a Emenda Constitucional nº 132/2023
Authors: ALBANO AMANDA
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo dedica-se a compreender a reestruturação da tributação sobre o consumo, a partir da reforma tributária materializada na Emenda Constitucional nº 132/2023, especificamente no que tange a figura do IBS - Imposto sobre bens e serviços de competência compartilhada. Pretende-se tecer considerações básicas sobre o conceito dinâmico de federalismo, compreendendo-o sob os aspectos fiscal e cooperativo, a fim de concluir se a nova conjuntura da competência tributária compartilhada está em consonância com os princípios federativos. Dessa forma, a análise estruturar-se-á em três eixos principais, sendo eles: (i) noções gerais sobre a forma federativa; (ii) o histórico da PEC 45/2019 até a sua consolidação na EC nº 123/2023, limitando-se à análise do IBS e do Comitê Gestor/Conselho Federativo; e (iii) a análise do grau de interferência na autonomia dos entes federativos provocada pela EC nº 123/2023.

Cet article dresse un tableau analytique de la coalition gouvernementale qui a vu le jour en République Démocratique du Congo après l’alternance politique au sommet de l’Etat consacrant l’élection à la magistrature suprême de Monsieur Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi. C’est un décryptage de cette alliance de circonstance justifiée par le fait que d’une part, la famille politique du Président sortant a recueilli la majorité parlementaire alors que l’entrant n’en disposait guère. Ainsi cette communion de gouvernance de la Res Publica sera ponctuée par crises répétitives qui conduiront le Président Tshisekedi de la rompre à l’issue des consultations des forces vives de la nations et quelques personnalités politiques emblématiques. Mots-clés : coalition, Front Commun pour le Congo, Cap pour le Changement, RDC.
DYSFONCTIONNEMENTS INSTITUTIONNELS DES PROVINCES A L’EPREUVE DE LA REGIONALISATION EN REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO

La République Démocratique du Congo fait face depuis son existence à la problématique de la gestion de son espace. A cet effet, elle a expérimenté plusieurs techniques. Si durant l’ère coloniale, les colonisateurs orientaient les techniques de gestion en fonction de leurs besoins du pouvoir, durant les régimes lui ayant succédé, les différents efforts de promouvoir le développement à tous égards, ont par contre, dans leurs actions, été à la base de plusieurs conflits. Ces conflits, devenant structurels paralysent ainsi la marche institutionnelle vers le développement recherché. En effet, sortant des conflits armés entre les forces en présence et face au défi du développement, la Constitution du 18 février 2006 telle que modifiée en 2011 adopte une forme hybride de gestion de l’Etat. Il s’agit du régionalisme. Celui-ci est une décentralisation très poussée en ce qui concerne les compétences exclusives entre les institutions centrales et provinciales voire concurrentes. Mais en pratique, suite aux velléités des unes et des autres l’on assiste à des dysfonctionnements et immixtions permanents. C’est dans cette logique que s’inscrit cette analyse, qui, tout en faisant une sociogenèse de l’histoire décentralisée du pays, relève les différents dysfonctionnements institutionnels au niveau des provinces en vue des pistes correctives pour le développement du pays. Ce, après avoir également présenté quelques conditions y afférentes. Mots-clés : Dysfonctionnement institutionnel, Décentralisation, Régionalisme, Développement, Contrôle.

Cette réflexion se penche sur la diplomatie régionale de la République Démocratique du Congo dans sa quête de refondation et repositionnement dans l’échiquier mondial, africain et sous-régionale (Afrique centrale). Elle mise sur la capacité des décideurs politiques et diplomates de développer une conscience géopolitique, susceptible de permettre au pays de devenir ce que ses filles et fils rêvent de lui : « la gâchette du revolver Afrique ». Mots-clés : Diplomatie, hégémonie, géopolitique, géostratégie, régionale, refondation.

Based on radiosounding and ERA-2 reanalysis data, the variability of tropopause height in the Arctic region affected by sudden stratospheric warming is considered. First of all, the analysis of the reaction of the tropopause height to the sudden stratospheric warming that occurred on January 23, 2009, is carried out; then its long-term change based on averaging over decades is investigated.

Three–dimensional wave activity Plumb’s fluxes were calculated and analyzed using JRA–55 reanalysis data to examine the dynamic interaction in the troposphere—stratosphere—troposphere system. The vertical component of wave activity flux values averaged over 64 years of observations in December, January, February and March allowed us to determine the longitude–latitude regions in the Northern Hemisphere to study the interannual variability of interaction between atmospheric layers and to assess the significance of the results obtained. In January and March, there is a significant trend observed over the Russian Far East, corresponding to the increase in wave activity flux from the troposphere to the stratosphere.
