O presidencialismo de coalizão e a sala de máquinas da Constituição
Authors: Bercot El-Jaick Monica
Published: May 2021

O presente estudo parte da análise histórico-constitucional, buscando evidenciar a importância de uma parte constitucional orgânica tão eficaz quanto promete a parte dogmática, notadamente em relação a Constituição Federal brasileira de 1988. Tais conceitos precisam ser estudados cuidadosamente, por isso este artigo tem como marco teórico o conceito de sala de máquinas desenvolvido por Roberto Gargarella no livro “Constitucionalismo latino-americano: direitos sociais e a “sala de máquinas” da Constituição. Dois séculos de constitucionalismo na América Latina (1810-2010)”, importante obra para toda a literatura jurídica latino-americana e mundial, em que pese sofrer críticas de parte dessa literatura.

 A pesquisa a respeito de como as constituições brasileiras e de países vizinhos se deram e se desenvolveram ao longo da história é de fundamental importância para avaliar os rumos que se pretende seguir no futuro. Sem dúvida a questão é intrínseca ao direito público em geral e tangencia temas como o rule of law e a public choice, fundamentais para o direito público em geral, mas o objetivo principal do presente trabalho é analisar em que medida o presidencialismo de coalizão, da forma como é exercido hoje no Brasil, contribui para a manutenção da chamada sala de máquinas constitucional. Para tanto, serão estudadas obras de renomados nomes da literatura jurídica, fomentando uma postura do direito mais comprometida com a realidade e com a concreta efetivação de seus mandamentos.
Permissibilidade do juiz robô no sistema jurídico brasileiro
Authors: Ferro Salus
Published: May 2021

A evolução tecnológica propiciada pela inteligência artificial, traz-nos um personagem novo que visa resolver a atual crise do judiciário, o juiz robô. O anseio tecnológico brasileiro por mecanismos paulatinamente mais sofisticados dentro da estrutura judiciária, possibilita uma operacionalidade de avançados instrumentais da inteligência artificial, nos quais a autonomia da máquina assemelha-se as tradicionais tarefas humanas com níveis superiores de produtividade. Esse paradigma é real e particularmente atrativo no contexto jurídico brasileiro, uma vez que a problemática jurídica encontra na morosidade processual seu principal problema, o que nos faz pensar interpretativamente sobre a aplicação de um juiz robô dentro dessa estrutura. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do trabalho é evidenciar a permissibilidade do juiz robô, dotado de inteligência artificial para solucionar problemas jurídicos no judiciário brasileiro, de acordo com o ordenamento jurídico vigente, além de traçar possíveis formas de inclusão da máquina no âmbito jurisdicional, utilizando-se de uma metodologia hipotético-dedutiva, através de material bibliográfico e do atual ordenamento jurídico para vislumbrar tais possibilidades. Conclui-se que o ordenamento jurídico impossibilita uma operacionalidade da máquina na estrutura jurídica de tomada de decisões no país, na qual a limitação legislativa pressupõe uma figura humana com suas características inerentes, o operador da justiça, contudo, não impede de ser um conciliador judicial, embora não seja viável por sua limitação binária.
O fim das organizações sociais na gestão de saúde do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e agora?
Authors: Maurity Soraya
Published: May 2021

O presente artigo traz para discussão os efeitos e consequências pragmáticas da Lei nº 8.986, que, no ano de 2020, previu a revogação da Lei nº 6.043/2011, a qual, por sua vez, disciplina a qualificação de entidades sem fins lucrativos como organizações sociais, no âmbito da saúde do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, mediante contrato de gestão.

Para tanto, abordaremos sucintamente as diferentes modalidades de gestão direta e indireta da saúde – sem adentrar a temática da saúde complementar –, destacando as vantagens e desvantagens de cada um desses modelos dentro de uma administração complexa.

Em seguida, serão estudados, mais detidamente os arranjos institucionais concebidos para dar musculatura às fundações governamentais de direito privado, apontadas, pelo Governo do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, como alternativa da política pública de saúde, com destaque para a figura do contrato estatal de prestação de serviço. Nesta dianteira, do ponto de vista da eficiência gerencial do Estado, é essencial investigar em que medida um modelo “reestatizante” é adequado e conveniente para a melhoria na prestação dos serviços públicos de saúde. Uma ordem de preocupação na estabilidade institucional reside no tratamento jurídico que se tem dado, na prática, às fundações governamentais de direito privado pela sua patológica “autarquização”.

Por isso, a ideia é pesquisar as ordens de conformação que as funções do Poder e órgãos de controle para compreensão da modelagem das fundações públicas de direito privado, sob três enfoques: a desorçamentação das fundações estatais; o regime de contratações públicas e o regime de pessoal celetista. Nesta toada, o ponto mais relevante será identificar a necessidade de computar, em termos orçamentários, os serviços prestados por intermédio do contrato estatal de prestação de serviço como contraprestacionais e autossustentáveis, de sorte a não comprometer a sustentabilidade financeira e garantir a valorização dos empregados privados em fundação governamental.
Direito à educação, federalismo e financiamento nas constituições brasileiras:
Authors: Mascarenhas Caio
Published: May 2021

O objetivo deste texto é relatar um breve histórico da evolução do direito à educação, traçando um paralelo com a descentralização política (federalismo) e o financiamento público do ensino no histórico constitucional brasileiro. Analisam-se brevemente as Constituições de 1824, 1891, 1934, 1946, 1967/69, 1988, bem como atos normativos infraconstitucionais correlatos. Três breves conclusões podem ser apontadas: 1) há uma relação íntima entre a história do federalismo e a da educação brasileira, cujos conteúdos adaptam-se conforme o pensamento político predominante na época e as novas dimensões de direitos que se pretende proteger; 2) as autocracias (ditaduras de 1937 e 1964) não lidam bem com a ideia de autolimitação trazida pela vinculação de receita de impostos ao setor educacional; 3) há uma clara evolução das técnicas de finanças públicas educacionais, que se adaptam às novas necessidades sociais, políticas e econômicas de cada momento constitucional brasileiro. A pesquisa é teórica, utilizando-se de materiais bibliográficos, com o amparo na doutrina nacional e na análise de textos normativos. As fontes de dados são basicamente: constituições, livros, teses, dissertações e artigos de revistas.

CHALLENGES IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF SATELLITE UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES IN CHINA - A CASE STUDY BASED ON HARBIN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SHENZHEN
Authors: Gu Yu , Zhang Peng
Published: May 2021

Running satellite campuses in different locations is a regular feature in Chinese society nowadays due to the combined result of the complexities in enrolling students, the restricted scale of schooling, geographical limitations, and government policies. With the Reform and Opening-up, some of China's underdeveloped cities have become new economic engines. At the same time, their lack of higher education resources has limited their development. However, some colleges and universities have started satellite campuses to break through these limitations. The Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), co-founded by the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) and the Shenzhen Municipal Government, is a satellite campus of Harbin Institute of Technology. The paper summarised and sorted out the existing studies, interviewed the students of the Shenzhen campus of the Harbin Institute of Technology. Through studying the current situation, existing problems and their causes have been analysed. It was concluded that the current crisis facing the Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) revolves around the following points: brand awareness, school size, government policies, international situation, as well as faculty and campus management. Based on the research findings, it was recommended that Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) improve their brand marketing, expand the scale, train teachers further, upgrade risk management and research, and put forward concrete measures for several aspects of the negotiations.

Authors: Brauer Sanna , Ratinen Ilkka , Kumpulainen Kaisu , Kyrö-Ämmälä Outi , Nikander Leena , Väänänen Ilkka
Published: May 2021

Fundamental changes in working life highlight the demands on the co-operation between the educational sector and working life, that should contribute to students’ employability. In addition to discipline-specific expertise, the development of working life skills has received increasing attention when it comes to employment. Drawing on data from Finnish universities of applied sciences (n=5) and universities (n=3), this paper examines how students (n=380) value the generic competences needed in in the world of work. The study is based on European reforms of labour markets and educational structures. This paper adds to current discourses around employability by highlighting differences between students of universities and universities of applied sciences. The implications of this research suggest paying attention to the concepts of agency, expertise and working life skills as outlined in the integrative pedagogy model, as well as emphasising the requirement for soft skills and generic competences needed in working life.

USING ANALOGY IN SOLVING PROBLEMS: A CASE STUDY OF TEACHING THE RADICAL INEQUALITIES
Authors: Uyen Bui Phuong
Published: May 2021

In mathematics education, teachers can use several reasoning methods to find solutions such as inductive, deductive and analogy. This study was intended to guide students to find solutions to problems of radical inequalities through analogical reasoning. The experiment was conducted on 36 grade 10 students at a high school in Can Tho city of Vietnam. The instrument used was a problem of radical inequalities. A three-phase teaching process had been organized with this class comprising individual work phase, group work phase and institutionalization phase. The data collected included student worksheets and was qualitatively analyzed. As a result, many students discovered how to solve the above inequality by using the analogy, and they had a considerable improvement in their problem-solving skills. Additionally, a few ideas were discussed about the use of analogy in mathematics education.

Curative embolization of a vein of Galen malformation with a dual-lumen balloon and ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer
Authors: De Castro-Afonso Luís Henrique , Abud Daniel Giansante
Published: May 2021

The endovascular approach is the standard treatment of vein of Galen malformations (VOGMs,) however the morbidity and mortality rates of VOGMs treated by embolization are still significant. Embolization with ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) by a dual-lumen balloon (DLB) is a promising. In the present case we demonstrated two strategies of transarterial (TA) embolization of a mural type VOGM presenting with two direct shunts. The first shunt was embolized using coils to reduce the flow through the shunt, following by an EVOH injection which resulted in the complete occlusion of that shunt. The second shunt was embolized also with EVOH but through a DLB. In the second embolization a very precise cast of EVOH could be created resulting in a complete occlusion of the VOGM. This case demonstrated the advantages of DLB compared to other embolization techniques
Resection of a large left opercular cavernoma in a child using neuronavigation

Published: May 2021

The insular lobe is a complex structure constituting anatomic, cytoarchitectonic, and functional interface between the allocortex and the neocortex. This area is a part of a larger system that includes the orbitofrontal, temporopolar, and insular regions, constituting the paralimbic system or mesocortex. For a long time, the issue in studying this entity accounted for the poor understanding of its precise functionality. Because of the technical complexity in approaching and dissecting this region, very few neurosurgeons attempted surgery of the insula. Particularly on the dominant side, the natural history of these lesions must be carefully balanced with the surgical morbidity involved in their resection. Surgical treatment of cavernomas arising around the insula (especially in dominant cerebral hemisphere) is challenging in reason of the proximity to the internal capsule and lenticulostriate arteries. The advent of image guidance systems and intraoperative mapping of the subcortical language pathways has broadened the surgical indications for these lesions. In the case reported here we removed a cavernous angioma of the left dominant operculum in a child with the aid of a neuronavigation system guidance.
How do we change practice?
Authors: Kestle John
Published: May 2021

OBJECT: The goal of this video lecture was to show the importance to research group organizing protocols to reduce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infection at Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN) centers (from 8.7% to 5.7%). Antibiotic-impregnated catheters (AICs) were not part of the protocol but were used off protocol by some surgeons. The authors therefore began using a new protocol that included AICs in an effort to reduce the infection rate further. The improvement of quality was related to reduce variation and improve outcome. METHODS The previous protocol was implemented at HCRN centers on January 1, 2012, for all shunt procedures (excluding external ventricular drains [EVDs], ventricular reservoirs, and subgaleal shunts). Compliance with the protocol and outcome events up to March 30, 2014, were recorded. The actual protocol is based on 7 points (HCRNq centers): intravenous antibiotics, skin preparation, hand scrub, double gloves, iodophoretic surgical field, catheter and antibiotics, and vancomycin irrigation RESULTS. Before protocol implementation in 30 participating centers, and 1318 subjects (1571 surgical cases) enrolled the overall infection rate was 6.0% (95% CI 5.1%-7.2%). The actual infection rate when using this new protocol has been analyzed. CONCLUSIONS CSF shunt procedures performed in compliance with a new infection prevention protocol at HCRNq centers had a lower infection rate than noncompliant procedures. Based on the current data, HCRNq centers the role of AICs compared with other infection prevention measures is still under analysis.

Authors: Afifi Mona H. , Alharby Reema H. , Alanizy Haya A. T.
Published: May 2021

Context: Palliative care (PC) is a form of care that aims to enhance the life quality of patients and their families who are dealing with the effects of the life-threatening disease by preventing and alleviating distress by early detection, accurate evaluation, and management of pain and other physical, psychosocial, and spiritual issues. Aim: This study aimed to assess the awareness and attitude of undergraduate nursing students at King Saud bin Abdul-Aziz University regarding palliative care. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was utilized to achieve the aim of this study. The study was conducted at the College of Nursing - Riyadh, affiliated to King Saud bi Abdul-Aziz University. A convenience sample of 273 nursing students from level five to level eight voluntarily participated in this study. Data were collected by using two tools. A self-reported questionnaire was designed to assess the students' awareness of palliative care. Frommelt Attitude Towards Care of the Dying (FATCOD) Scale was adopted to measure participants’ attitudes toward providing care to dying patients. Results: The results show that about 36.3% of nursing students were in the age group of 21 years old, and 73% were in the sixth academic level. 75.5% of the nursing students were not aware of palliative care, 30.30% knew about PC from the elective course. 96.33% of students had no experience caring for terminally ill patients and their family members previously. The students' response analysis of PC definition revealed that 89.74 of them could not define it correctly, 41% could not know the aim from PC, 43% of students identified the need of terminally ill to reduce the physical suffering. The students' attitudes toward palliative care showed a swing between positive and negative attitudes. As 81% of students believe that giving nursing care to the dying person is a worthwhile learning experience, 65.5% agreed about nursing care for the patient's family should continue throughout grief and bereavement. In comparison, 77.3% would hope the person they cared for dies when they are not present, and 41.5% of the students believe that they would be uncomfortable talking about impending death with the dying person, and 40.9% were uncertain about this. Conclusion: Knowledge about palliative care among undergraduate nursing students remained relatively poor overall. Attitude toward end-of-life care shows a swing between positive and negative attitudes yet still reflected an evident lack of comfort in dealing with death and dying. Structured courses in palliative care are recommended as a core part of undergraduate nursing education. The suggested course should encompass basic professional skills, symptom control, patient-centered communication, ethical issues, decision-making at the end of life, whole-person care, and interdisciplinary work.
COVID-19 And Smoking: A Cross-Sectional Study Done In Lebanon
Authors:   Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences, School of Arts and Sciences, Lebanese International University, Beirut, Lebanon, Baassiry Najwa
Published: May 2021

Background: to assess smoking habits and investigate any impact of smoking on COVID-19 susceptibility and symptom development. Study design: a cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 1642 participants volunteered and took part in answering the questionnaire. Information about the level of knowledge on COVID-19, smoking habits, and COVID-19-related symptoms of participants were collected using an online questionnaire. Results: The study revealed that a very high percentage of the Lebanese population, especially males, are smokers. Smoking was independent of age and level of education; however, we detected a shift in preference among the younger smokers from cigarette to shisha smoking. We did not detect any influence of smoking, level of education, or geographical location on the probability of contracting COVID-19. COVID-19 patients who are also shisha smokers were significantly more likely to experience severe body pain and speaking and moving difficulty compared to cigarette smokers. In addition, infected shisha smokers who used artificial coal as a burning agent were more likely to experience loss of smell and taste compared to those that used natural coal. Conclusions: Shisha smokers, and especially those that use artificial coal, may be at a higher risk of developing more severe symptoms of COVID-19 and possibly other respiratory-related illnesses. The increased tendency of the younger generations to smoke shisha is alarming

Authors:   Department of Livestock Services (DLS), Farmgate, Dhaka, Bangladesh, Akhtar A.
Published: May 2021

This piece of work was conducted to investigate the genetic improvement of body weight (BW) in Black Bengal goat (BBG) in-situ through a community based breeding program under a low input production system. Data on a total of 466 individuals from three villages; Gangatia, Borochala and Pachpai at Bhaluka upazila in Mymensingh district from 2009 to 2015 with three progressive generations were taken for this work. Two breeding strategies (BS); mating among selected superior bucks and does (denoted as BS1) and mating existing does with selected superior bucks (denoted as BS2) were followed for mating plan of the community breeding program. A control or test group with mating among existing bucks and does (denoted as BS3) were also observed to compare with treatment groups. Phenotypic performance and genetic parameters for BW traits were studied. Data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 and VCE 4.2.5. The average BW at birth, 3-month, 6-month, sexual maturity, 9-month, and 12-month were 1.42±0.03, 5.14±0.07, 8.48±0.17, 9.88±0.16, 11.75±0.16 and 15.19±0.16 kg, respectively, having significant effect for sex (p<0.05-p<0.001), generation (p<0.001) and BS (p<0.001). The heritability estimates for BW traits were medium ranging from 0.45 to 0.57. The genetic correlation (rg) and phenotypic correlation (rp) for BW traits were positive with low to high strengths (0.02 to 0.99 for rg and 0.17** to 0.99** for rp). The average realized responses due to selection in three progressive generations for BW traits varied from 0.123 to 0.480 kg per generation. It may be concluded that community based breeding program with selected superior bucks and does is very rationale under low input production system, as it improved BW in progressive generations. However, estimates of heritability and rg indicated further scope of improvement by continuous culling of inferior does and bucks in breeding program.

LA ARGUMENTACIÓN JURÍDICA EN LA TOMA DE DECISIÓN JUDICIAL
Authors: EZQUIAGA GANUZAS FRANCISCO JAVIER
Published: May 2021

La toma de decisión judicial no es sólo una actividad mental, sino que
tiene un componente argumentativo que tomado en cuenta puede mejorar la decisión.
Una teoría de la argumentación jurídica que se ocupe del contexto de descubrimiento permite
determinar de una manera más precisa los requisitos de una motivación legal, racional,
suficiente y completa de la sentencia y, en consecuencia, su control. Aspectos que
frecuentemente escapan del contenido de una adecuada motivación, como la selección de
los argumentos interpretativos empleados, la forma de su uso, la presentación y debate de
los argumentos de las partes o de otros magistrados, quedarían incluidos de este modo
entre los requisitos motivatorios de la sentencia.

Erabaki judizialak ez dira jarduera mental hutsak, badute argudiozko osagai
bat ere, eta hura kontuan hartzeak hobetu egin dezake erabakia. Aurkikuntzaren testuingurua
kontuan hartzen duen argudio juridiko batean errazago zehaztu ahal dira epai baten
motibazioa legala, arrazionala, nahikoa eta osoa izateko baldintzak. Sarritan, motibazioak ez
ditu kontuan hartzen erabilitako argudioen hautaketa, haien erabilera, alderdien edo beste
magistratuen argudioen aurkezpena eta debatea, eta horiek, era honetan, epaia motibatzen
duten baldintzen artean leudeke.

The judicial decision making is not only a mental activity but it has an
argumentative part that if it is taken into account can improve the decision. A theory
about the legal reasoning that deals with the context of discovery allows to establish in a
more precise way the requirements for a legal, rational, sufficient and complete reasoning
and accordingly its control. Aspects that do often elude the content of an appropriate
motivation, as the choice of the used interpretative arguments, the form of its use, the
introduction and debate of the arguments by the parts or other judges, which would in this
way be included among the motivating requisites of the judgment.
