En este estudio se describe algunos aspectos de la gametogénesis (ovogénesis) del pepino de mar Cucumaria califórnica Semper 1868, especie común de las costas del Pacífico mexicano. El presente estudio tiene como finalidad caracterizar algunos aspectos del ciclo gonádico durante la ovogénesis del pepino de mar Cucumaria californica (Semper, 1868), especie ampliamente distribuida en costas del Pacífico mexicano. Los ejemplares analizados fueron recolectados en aguas someras de las costas de Jalisco, Isla Cocinas, Chamela. Se procesaron 30 ejemplares seleccionando exclusivamente hembras que presentaran estadios en ovogénesis; según literatura la presencia de ovocitos maduros indica que la actividad gonádica se incrementa durante los meses de verano (julio-agosto), la estación en que se realizaron dichas recolectas en nuestra especie de estudio se presentó a finales de otoño (noviembre), bajo esas circunstancias el presente estudio nos lleva a definir parcialmente el ciclo reproductivo visto desde el punto de vista en ovogénesis; describiendo ciclos parciales del índice gonádico caracterizando con ello una escala citológica, checando la maduración gonádica entre hembras de diferentes tallas, no se halló diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cuanto a longitud y peso entre hembras y machos, aun cuando las hembras fueron ligeramente más grandes, examinando principalmente ovocitos primarios, secundarios con algunos pre-vitelos; detectados por medio de exámenes histológicos, revelando tallas promedio entre los 25.03 y 36 µm. Algunos autores manifiestan que factores ambientales controlan la gametogénesis mientras que el desove parece ser desencadenado principalmente por la temperatura y salinidad del agua, así como la disponibilidad de alimento durante el ciclo reproductivo, tales observaciones indican que se puede identificar la variación en la talla de los ovocitos durante el desarrollo gonádico, en el presente estudio se presentan algunos aspectos de la ovogénesis del pepino de mar Cucumaria califórnica con la finalidad de contar con datos específicos como herramienta de estudio en pos de la conservación como recurso económico.

A salmonelose é uma das principais zoonoses de importância para Saúde Pública no mundo, evidenciando-se pelas suas características de endemicidade, alta morbidade e, sobretudo, pela dificuldade para o seu controle. O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar a ocorrência de Salmonella spp. em amostras de linguiças mistas produzidas artesanalmente no Município de Terra Roxa - PR. Foram visitados seis mercados e três açougues, totalizando 150 amostras coletadas entre novembro e dezembro de 2018, sendo acondicionadas e transportadas ao Laboratório de Microbiologia da UFPR – Setor Palotina. Após análise microbiológica convencional, 16 amostras foram positivas para Salmonella spp. e posteriormente submetidas ao teste de suscetibilidade antimicrobiana pela técnica de disco-difusão e à PCR. Durante as coletas foram aplicados questionários epidemiológicos para verificar a presença de fatores de risco. As amostras foram 100% resistentes a amoxicilina + ácido clavulonato e o antibiótico com menos resistência foi a ciprofloxacina. Na técnica da PCR, apenas quatro amostras foram positivas. Estas foram submetidas ao sequenciamento e à sorotipagem para confirmação, cujo resultado foi Salmonela Typhimuriun. Nenhum fator de risco analisado foi significativo. A presença de Salmonella spp. indica contaminação da matéria-prima, portanto as linguiças do tipo mistas artesanais, precisam receber maior atenção quanto aos aspectos higiênico-sanitários de sua produção, armazenamento e comercialização. Os proprietários dos estabelecimentos foram orientados sobre a higienização das mãos e dos utensílios e também a implementar uma rotina de trabalho.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo comparar os efeitos de dois protocolos pré-anestésicos sobre os parâmetros fisiológicos, eletrocardiográficos e o grau de sedação em cadelas que seriam submetidas a ovário-salpingo-histerectomia. Vinte animais foram divididos de forma randomizada em dois grupos (n=10) de acordo com o protocolo empregado, grupo 1 (G1: dexmedetomidina + metadona) e grupo 2 (G2: dexmedetomidina + midazolam). Foram coletados dados (frequência cardíaca e respiratória; pressão arterial sistólica; eletrocardiograma) antes (tempo 0) e após 15 minutos da aplicação intramuscular dos fármacos (tempo 15), sendo nesse último realizada a avaliação do grau de sedação. Notou-se uma redução significativa nos valores da pressão arterial sistólica (G1; p=0,002) e das frequências cardíaca (G1; p=0,0003 e G2; p0,0001) e respiratória (G2; p=0,034). Não foi notada diferença entre os protocolos empregados no que se refere à incidência de arritmias cardíacas nos animais, porém as mesmas foram notadas em aproximadamente 80% dos animais de ambos os grupos, sendo a mais frequente a parada sinusal, seguida dos bloqueios atrioventriculares (1º e 2º grau) e da bradiarritmia sinusal. Não houve diferença significativa no grau de sedação entre os grupos (p=0,969) e ambos protocolos induziram boa sedação (mediana ≥ 9; score máximo = 15). Conclui-se que a dexmedetomidina associada à metadona (G1) ou ao midazolam (G2) induziu, de maneira indistinta, arritmias cardíacas na maioria dos animais avaliados nesse estudo, bem como, alterações significativas nos parâmetros fisiológicos analisados (frequências cardíaca e respiratória e pressão arterial sistólica), apesar de promover um grau de sedação desejável em ambos protocolos empregados.

A busca por materiais sustentáveis e de desempenho semelhante ao cimento tem aumentado, visto as complicações ambientais causadas pela produção do material. Uma das opções de material “substituto” são os microrganismos produtores de uréase, capazes de precipitar carbonato de cálcio, responsável pela cristalização. Esses microrganismos podem ser utilizados de diferentes formas para aumentar a resistência de argamassas. A biodeposição é o processo de aspersão de uma solução bacteriana em corpos de prova endurecidos. Neste estudo foram realizadas aspersões semanais de solução bacteriana em amostras de argamassa, e deixadas outras amostras como referência, com aspersão apenas de água, com o objetivo de verificar se a precipitação de carbonato de cálcio produziria aumento na resistência da argamassa. Ao romper os exemplares à compressão e tração, verificou-se aumento significativo nos que tiveram adição de bactérias, indicando que houve preenchimento de poros.
Danos da larva Diabrotica speciosa em milho Bt / Damage larvae Corn rootworn Diabrotica speciosa in Bt Corn
Authors: Machado Josemar Neri Corrêa , Teston Renan , Salvadori José Roberto
Published: March 2022

A larva-alfinte, Diabrotica speciosa (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), é um inseto de hábito subterrâneo que muitas vezes passa despercebido, porém pode causar sérios danos às plantas de milho. As injúrias da espécie iniciam com raspagens dos adultos nas folhas, nos estádios iniciais das plantas (V2 a V4), que muitas vezes são confundidas com as ocasionadas pela lagarta do cartucho, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepdopetra: Noctuidae). Os adultos fazem postura no solo, junto as plântulas de milho, onde as larvas eclodem e passam a danificar as raízes. A diminuição do sistema radicular prejudica a absorção de água, de nutrientes e predispõe a planta ao tombamento na fase de enchimento dos grãos. Além disso, os pontos de ataque das larvas servem de porta de entrada para fitopatógenos. Uma das estratégias de controle que está sendo oferecida no mercado é o uso de genótipos geneticamente modificados que expressam a proteína Cry3Bb1, que confere resistência à larva-alfinete. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar os danos das larvas de D. speciosa em raízes de milho, em genótipos com e sem esta proteína, sob infestação natural, a campo. O trabalho foi conduzido em Cruz Alta, RS na safra 2013-14, em delineamento em blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições. Foram comparados três híbridos de milho Bt com diferentes proteínas: a) Cry3b1 + Cry1A105 + Cry2 Ab2, b) Cry1A105 = Cry2Ab2 e c) VIP3Aa20. Cada parcela mediu 10,8 m2 (3 linhas de 6 m de comprimento, com espaçamento de 0,6 m). Em cinco plantas por parcela, no estádio R2, os danos foram avaliados nas raízes de milho através de notas visuais, com base na escala de Olson (2005). O hibrido que contém a proteína Cry3Bb1 apresentou menor escore de dano em raiz e menor tombamento de plantas indicando performance superior aos demais, mesmo sob alta pressão de D. speciosa.

Published: March 2022

O consumo de carne de aves tem crescido mundialmente, a busca por alimentos orgânicos e que ressalta costumes regionais faz com que a população compre produtos oriundos de feiras urbanas. Entretanto, nos abates artesanias são observado precariedade das instalações e negligência quanto a higiene, tornando propício a contaminação das carcaças de galinha, que pode resultar em surtos de DTA. Este trabalho realizou analises microbiológicas quantitativas de Escherichia coli, e qualitativas de Salmonella spp. e Staphylococcus coagulase-positiva, a fim de ressaltar a importância de ser realizado uma fiscalização nestes estabelecimentos. Foram analisadas 12 amostras, coletadas de forma aleatórias em feiras urbanas do Distrito Federal (DF), em todas as amostras foi realizada a contagem de unidade formadora de colônias (UFC) de Escherichia coli, e pesquisou presença de Staphylococcus coagulase-positiva e Salmonella sp. Nenhuma amostra apresentou positivo no teste da coagulase-positiva da Staphylococcus sp. Apenas uma amostra confirmou em prova bioquímica a presença de Salmonella sp.

Consideramos el Artículo 54 de la Constitución Política del Perú (1993) sobre Territorio, Soberanía y jurisdicción, en condición de espacio inalienable e inviolable que comprende suelo, subsuelo, dominio marítimo y espacio aéreo que lo cubre, tendría una extensión real de 5 501 723.92 Km2 y no de 1 285 215.16 Km2. La revisión de la vigente Constitución Política del Perú, la revisión y estudio de los mapas oficiales del Perú, el empleo de la cartografía, la geomática y en general las ciencias de la Tierra han permitido detectar áreas o dominios que no se precisan en el mapa oficial actual. Dichas imprecisiones derivan hacia un proceso educativo deforme y equivocado en todos sus niveles, desvían la formación de una identidad nacional que salvaguarde la soberanía territorial como parte esencial del Estado, tornándose entonces en un Estado débil que no comprende la importancia que implica el verdadero conocimiento de sus áreas territoriales de dominio y por tanto, no establece Políticas de Estado referidas a la vigilancia, cuidado, protección y desarrollo sostenible de su territorio.Basados en lo descrito y en el uso de herramientas como el Arc GIS (que contienen productos de software en el terreno de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica o SIG) se propone una nueva versión de la representación geográfica del Perú al Bicentenario de su Independencia, para que sea tomada en referencia por los actuales gobernantes del país.
How democratic institutions dealt with COVID-19: A case study of the United States of America and France
Authors: Willows Robert
Published: March 2022

This paper analyses the democratic institutions of the United States and France,
regarding the media, science, and politics relating to COVID-19 pandemic. As
democratic institutions are central to this paper, it is extensively defined, avoiding
any possible vagueness that an incoherent definition might provide. Furthermore,
the conditions that resulted from the COVID-19 virus are analysed, focusing on
the fiscal stimulus and public health protocols, and comparing them in relation to
both the United States and France. The focus shifts to the drugs
hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir, exploring the conditions around the drugs,
analysing and comparing the actions institutions have taken within the respective
nations, as well as between the nations. The institutions that are key in both
nations include the presidential offices and the representatives of the presidents.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, the CS-COVID
council that was created to handle the protocols and regulations in France, The
decentralised Federal government of the United States, and the centralised
Unitary State of France are critical in the comparison of the institutions and
actions relating to the pandemic.

Ed-Tech speak around iPads in educational technology research
Authors: Mertala Pekka
Published: March 2022

This position paper contributes to the field of critical educational technology (Ed-Tech) research by providing empirical evidence for the qualities of the phenomenon known as Ed-Tech speak. The research question, how does Ed-Tech speak in research articles about Apple's iPad contribute to promoting and validating the importance and utility of the iPad for teaching and learning, is addressed by applying critical genre analysis to investigate empirical research articles discussing the use of iPads in institutional education. As a result, four categories were formed: the self-evident importance of iPads, overgeneralization of references, the use of strong reporting verbs (to boost weak references), and the use of boosting devices when discussing the findings. Possible explanations for the existence of Ed-Tech speak in research articles are offered.
Forming the Higher Derivatives of Characteristics of Non-Linear Elements
Authors: Svirid V. L.
Published: March 2022

It was suggested to form higher derivatives, including the fourth one, characteristics of non-linear elements based on altering the synchronous, phase insensitive active band-stop filter to the needed harmonic component of the researched antiderivative of the characteristic of the examined element, which is proportional to the according derivative, which allows, if needed, to reestablish the missing phase component using a synchronous, sensitive to phase demodulating filter, which is agreed to the specially formed control signals, or to exclude it using a simple amplitude demodulator. The use of the proposed shaper of higher derivatives for the purpose of determining the primary parameters of various objects with nonlinear characteristics of antiderivatives makes it possible to substantially increase the accuracy of their measurements, bringing this process to the level of tenths of a percent, which is a very important result in the measurement technique, first of all, the Q-factor of radiotechnical elements, for example, varicaps, with a wide range of its change.
Highly sensitive vibration measurement method of nanomechanical resonators using a convolutional neural network
Authors: Tsumune Kohei , Warisawa Shin’ichi , Kometani Reo
Published: March 2022

Nanomechanical resonators can detect various small physical quantities. It is necessary to increase the sensitivity of nanomechanical resonators. In this study, a deep learning-based method is developed for sensitive detection of vibration states of nanomechanical resonators. It enables one to explore the most highly sensitive vibration states without missing targets while conventional methods focus only on the resonant frequency. The proposed method was evaluated with laser intensity. Sensitive measurement of laser intensity has the potential for applications in laser wavelength measurement. The proposed method could identify laser intensity at intervals of 0.03 mW at which the resonance frequency did not shift. Grad-CAM was used to clarify features on the vibration spectra used in the convolutional neural network. Frequency bands other than the resonance frequency band were used for the laser intensity measurement. This result implies that there is a possibility that highly sensitive vibration behavior exists outside the resonance frequency.

Conclusion and future scope will be suggested.
Safe Human-Robot Collaboration via Collision Checking and Explicit Representation of Danger Zones
Authors: Lacevic Bakir , Zanchettin Andrea Maria , Rocco Paolo
Published: March 2022

This paper deals with safe human-robot collaboration in the context of speed and separation monitoring paradigm. The core of the approach is to continuously track the separation distance between the robot and the human. The robot speed is then adjusted according to the perceived distance so that it will be able to stop before eventually come into contact with the human. We present an approach that aims at maximizing the productivity of the robot, i.e., its speed, while keeping the prescribed safety requirements satisfied. The method is based on explicit representation of danger zones – regions around the robot, where safety requirements are violated. The motion is then generated such that the robot moves as fast as possible, while its danger zone still does not collide with human operators. The approach is validated within an experimental study.
The Existence Formula. Boundaries of the Metafiction in Andrej Bitov’s Čelovek v Pejzaže
Authors: Trukhanova Olga
Published: March 2022

Man in a Landscape, a central tale of The Monkey Link: A Pilgrimage Novel, is a poetic, meditative piece, concentrated on human life and its reasons, and on the figure of the Creator in a double sense: religious and artistic. Its structure is based on various dichotomies, such as ‘landscape’ and ‘view’, ‘genius’ and ‘mediocre’, ‘arts’ and ‘nature’, the boundaries of which become a focal point in the long conversations between the icon restorer, Pavel Petrovich, and the first-person narrator, a painter who eventually turns out to be a novelist. This paper focuses on the revelation of the author’s self-knowledge process. On the one hand, the process manifests in the characters representing Bitov’s alter-ego, and on the other, through the journey that evokes both Dante’s descent into the underworld and the drunken journey of Venička from Moscow to Petuški. By offering a reading of the text that considers the postmodern theory of narcissistic literature and a photographic approach, the analysis discloses how the ‘layer-theory’ of the main character Pavel Petrovich is transforming into an attempt at self-literary criticism by Bitov.

The author analyses and discusses the five articles published in the thematic block. She remarks on the novelty of Pavlyshyn’s and Kočerha’s methodological approaches and interpretations of the kind of Orientalism or Post-Orientalism represented by the poem Khamsin and some poetic plays of Lesja Ukrajinka. Hundorova also highlights the interest of Achilli’s multifaceted analysis of Lesja Ukrajinka’s modernism, and gives a challenging evaluation of the interpretation of non-finito by O. Visyč. Among the most relevant contributions – Hundorova maintains – is Andrianova’s proposal of an ecofeminist interpretative clue to Forest Song.

رمى البحث التعرف بأساليب التعلم  وايضاً التعرف على مستوى الحاجة الى المعرفة وما هي العلاقة بينهما لدى طلبة المرحلة الاعدادية ، ولغرض التحقق من ذلك تم استعمال مقياس اساليب التعلم المعد من قبل ريشارد فلدر(Richard Felder) وباربارا سولومون (Barbara Solomon) عام (2000) المبني في ضوء نموذج فلدر وسلفرمان ترجمة (السناوي 2013) ومقياس الحاجة الى المعرفة المعد من كاسيوبو وبيتي وكاو( 1984) Cacioppo ,Petty & Kao ، إذ بلغ عدد فقرات مقياس اساليب التعلم (44) فقرة ومقياس الحاجة الى المعرفة (18) فقرة وقد تم التحقق من الخصائص السايكومترية للمقياسين وبعدها تم تطبيق الاداتين على عينة البحث والتي بلغت (300) طالب وطالبة من طلبة المرحلة الاعدادية تم اختيارهم بالطريقة العشوائية الطبقية، واظهرت نتائج ان افراد عينة البحث ليس لديهم اسلوب محدد من التعلم ولديهم حاجة الى المعرفة أذ كان متوسط درجاتهم اعلى من الوسط الفرضي وكذلك، وجود علاقة ارتباطية طردية بين الحاجة الى المعرفة واساليب التعلم ،وقد يعود السبب الى ان الطلبة الذين لديهم حاجة  الى المعرفة عالية يستخدمون اساليب تعلم معرفية كثيرة ويستخدم كل متعلم جميع الأساليب في أوقات مختلفة ولكن ليس من الضروري أن تكون جميعها في المستوى نفسه من الاستخدام وكما جاء في النظرية المتبناة.
Examining teachers’ well-being during the pandemic: a mixed methods study on teachers’ psychological, emotional and identity responses to online education
Authors:   University of Pécs, Hungary, Fekete Adrienn
Published: March 2022

This mixed methods study investigates teachers’ well-being in online education by looking at their linguistic and professional identity construction in the context of offline and online education. Teachers’ identity construction in online education sheds light on their virtual identities (Kramsch 2009) as well as their emotional and psychological responses (Fekete 2020a, 2020b) to online education. The paper seeks to prove that identity construction is shaped by the language spoken by the person, the context of the person, and other individual differences of the person. Therefore, the author proposes that identity construction should be envisaged as a complex dynamic system of the person’s individual differences that responds to changes in the levels of the system as well as environmental stimuli. Twenty-six teachers from eight countries participated in the research by completing a sentence completion task administered online. The large textual datasets were analyzed using qualitative content analysis that pointed out emerging themes. Then, descriptive statistics was employed to detect trends and frequencies, shining light on changes in the participants’ emotions and identity construction in the various contexts. The findings point out that offline and online education shape teachers’ identity construction as well as their psychological and emotional responses very differently. The results also pinpoint the difficulties teachers were faced with in online education and how these difficulties shaped their psychological, emotional and identity responses to the novel circumstances of their profession. / Key words: linguistic identity, professional identity, virtual identity, online education, teachers, emotions, complex dynamic systems, individual differences
Systems fail, technology disappoints, and relying on optimism is not enough: A short analysis of teacher wellbeing and digital learning solutions
Authors:   International University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kovačević Ervin
Published: March 2022

This is a call for support that teachers, students, and a large number of education systems need in order to prevent teacher attrition, improve learning experiences, and invest in the future of schooling. The call is based on a brief review of recent studies and reports, which reveal teachers’ dissatisfaction with their working conditions, the negative results generated by online teaching solutions during COVID-19, and the limitations which characterize our education systems. The conclusions recommend taking immediate actions which would improve teacher wellbeing and job satisfaction, lead to the massive preparations that digital teaching solutions require, and offer quality schooling opportunities to all schoolchildren worldwide. The humility of this call lies in the recognition that it cannot achieve much on its own. However, by arguing that decreasing in trends in the levels of motivation among both students and teachers be evaluated as outgrowths of systematic flaws in education rather than of the characteristics of individual students and teachers, the paper encourages broader engagement with the potential to lead to meaningful reform. / Keywords: education systems, online education, teacher attrition, wellbeing, COVID-19
Greek preschool teacher’s views about language activities in early childhood education during Covid‑19. A chance for change?
Authors:   University of Patras, Greece, Apostolou Zoi , Lavidas Konstantinos ,   University of Patras, Greece
Published: March 2022

The aim of this research is to investigate the views of preschool teachers about their "readiness" for e-learning, the barriers they had faced while using it in early childhood education, the teaching practices during distance learning of language, and the transformations that had to be done in these, their effectiveness, and finally the utilization of the digital tools in the teaching of language after their return to the real classes. Views from ten Greek preschool teachers were collected with semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic content analysis. The results showed that teachers had no "readiness" for distance education and some students have fewer opportunities than others to learn and conquer some skills at home during distance learning. Furthermore, during distance learning the oral language was cultivated naturally and effortlessly, while the cultivation of the written language encountered significant difficulties due to the mediation of the digital tools, according to teachers. But as they seem to acknowledge the power of digital tools, they overcome their initial embarrassment and set aside the difficulties they encountered. Indeed, teachers seem to acknowledge this e-learning teaching experience supplied them with technological skills that could be utilized in similar situations. However, they highlight the need for training in distance learning and mainly how they could effectively integrate the technology in class./ Keywords: teaching of language, preschool education, teachers’ opinions, pandemic, distance learning, online learning

Authors: Conaway Ann , Tsoflias Peter
Published: March 2022

The authors conclude that the Delaware series supplies a beneficial, efficient use of a combined contractual Delaware entity form when pooled with sensible, informed planning by sophisticated business attorneys. Such benefits are particularly noticeable in investment vehicles where managers embark to minimize risk by diversifying the fund’s assets or receive funding with specific covenants attached that limit the acceptable uses of the funds. The series is not, however, for general practitioners who have the occasional client wishing for the latest benefit Delaware has to offer its investors. To provide context, Parts II-IV of this article provide a brief overview of how the series structure evolved and introduces the reader to the Delaware Series. Next, Part V of this article sheds light on the Delaware series LLC and provides practitioners with a useful guide to facilitate forming this specialized business entity. Part VI answers some of the commonly asked questions about a Delaware series. Finally, Part VII of this article addresses the common mistakes made by practitioners when forming a Delaware LLC series
The Dog That Didn't Bark: Private Investment Funds and Relational Contracts in the Wake of the Great Recession
Authors: Illig Robert
Published: March 2022

In the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis, the contract rights of numerous hedge funds and venture capital funds were breached. These contracts were complex and sophisticated and had been negotiated at great time and expense. Yet despite all of the assumptions of neo-classical contracts theory, nothing happened. Practically none of these injured parties sued to enforce their rights. Professor Illig uses this dearth of litigation to conduct a form of natural experiment as to the value of contract law. Discrete market participants contracted before the crash and then pursued their rights in court afterwards, while relational market participants contracted but refrained from suing. Given this bifurcated response to the identical stimulus, Professor Illig queries: why did the relational parties bother to contract in the first place? If they could have predicted the likelihood of their ex post inertia, then as rational economic actors they must have valued contracting for something other than as insurer of their reasonable expectations. For them, a contract must provide significant symbolic and ceremonial value. Based on this finding—as well as on complementary research from the field of behavioral economics—Professor Illig concludes by arguing against a universalist approach to contract law. Instead, he recommends that contract doctrine be evolved to reflect its dual nature—as insurer of expectations in the context of discrete exchanges and as a source of imagery and ritual in the context of relational affiliations. Doing so would enhance the impact of social norms as a mechanism for avoiding and resolving disputes.
Private Equity in Brazil: Industry Overview and Regulatory Environment
Authors: Guy Shannon
Published: March 2022

The overall goal of this note is to paint a picture of the current state of the private equity industry in Brazil and the existing regulations which must be obeyed to participate as a private equity investor. Part II of this note provides a brief history of the private equity industry in Brazil, discusses recent investor interest in the growing area, and introduces the main regulatory bodies in Brazil. Part III explains several specific rules that govern a private equity investment by breaking down the “life” of a private equity investment into four stages: (1) setting up the private equity fund, (2) investing in a targeted company, (3) managing the targeted company, and (4) exiting the investment. At each of these stages, the focus is on explaining the general ground rules that a private equity investor must abide by, with the goal of introducing practitioners to the regulations governing an investment in Brazil throughout the investment’s life cycle. In a complementary note, which will be published in Issue 2 of this Journal, I will build on this introduction to Brazil’s private equity industry and main regulators and provide a critical analysis of the underlying policy choices inherent in Brazil’s regulatory regime, and provide modest suggestions for future reforms.
The Compliance Case for Social Enterprise
Authors: Yockey Joseph
Published: March 2022

Social enterprises generate revenue to solve social, humanitarian, and ecological problems. Their products are not a means to the end of profits, but rather profits are a means to the end of their production. This dynamic presents many of the same corporate governance issues facing other forprofit firms, including legal compliance. The author contends, however, that traditional strategies for corporate compliance are incongruent to the social enterprise’s unique normative framework. Specifically, traditional compliance theory, with its prioritization of shareholder interests, stands at odds with the social enterprise’s mission-driven purpose. Attention to this distinction is essential for developing effective compliance and enforcement policies in the future. Indeed, arguably the greatest feature of the social enterprise is its potential to harness organizational characteristics that inspire the values and culture most closely linked with ethical behavior— without resort to more costly or intrusive measures.
The Risk of Money Laundering Through Crowdfunding: A Funding Portal's Guide to Compliance and Crime Fighting
Authors: Robock Zachary
Published: March 2022

With the recent passage of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) and proposed regulations, equity crowdfunding is poised to play an important role in fundraising for many types of emerging growth companies. A fundamental purpose of crowdfunding is to reduce economic barriers to capital markets for emerging growth companies, in part by relaxing rigorous information disclosure requirements currently mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Relaxed regulation should help reduce the cost of fundraising, but it will also present certain risks. Investor fraud is a common concern, which is addressed at length in the JOBS Act and related regulation. Perhaps less obvious, but nonetheless present, is the risk of money laundering, which is the subject of this Note.
