Lawyering protest - critique and creativity: Where to from here in the public interest legal sector?
Authors: Chamberlain Lisa , Snyman Gina
Published: October 2022

Frequent protests, arising from a diversity of motivations, are a feature of the South African landscape. Despite the right to protest being entrenched in section 17 of the Constitution, it is under threat, and communities seeking to protest increasingly risk criminalisation. This article identifies some of the emerging themes in the protest landscape and the way the right to protest is being suppressed. Four dominant themes are highlighted through the lens of the experiences of the public interest legal sector: the conflation of notification and permission; heavy-handed state responses to protests; the abuse of bail procedures; and the use of interdicts. Law has become at least one of the sites of contestation in the protest arena. The political space held open by the existence of the right to protest is thus closing as a result of violations of this right. It is therefore both useful and necessary to interrogate the role of lawyers in such contestation. This article also examines the context and nature of the public interest legal sector’s response to these emerging themes.
Failing to respect and fulfill: South African law and the right to protest for children
Authors: Ally Nurina
Published: October 2022

Despite the historical and ongoing importance of protest as a vehicle for children to express themselves, current laws fail to protect and enable children’s participation in protest. More than two decades after the formal end of apartheid, a child may be subject to criminal processes for convening a peaceful, unarmed protest. This article highlights the importance of the right to protest for children and the obligation on the state to respect, protect and fulfil the right to protest, specifically taking into account children’s interests. Through a description of the Mlungwana & Others vs The State and Others case, the article highlights the manner in which the criminalisation of peaceful protest by the Regulation of Gatherings Act fails to take into account the best interests of children and violates the right to protest.

Comparison between different parameters for anaerobic digestion technologies
Authors: Rabaa K AL-Farajat , Mohamed R Gomaa
Published: October 2022

Due to the increased demand for energy and the near depletion of fossil fuel sources, in addition to the problems of global warming, the world has turned to renewable energy sources as an alternative solution. One energy source is the anaerobic digestion of organic matter, such as animal or food waste. Biogas is produced from this process, used to generate electricity and heat, or processed for use as a transportation fuel and compost production for agriculture. This process is affected by many factors like the potential of hydrogen (PH), temperature, carbon/nitrogen ratio (C/N), and other factors. Dry anaerobic digestion has higher total solid content (TS) than wet anaerobic digestion. On the other hand, it has lower maintenance and construction costs compared with wet anaerobic digestion. In this research, we will highlight the operational conditions of the process in addition to its different types. It also contains an overview of this system, its working principle, its advantages, and the system component and show the best ways to improve its efficiency.

Published: October 2022

The development and support of knowledge-based systems for experts in the field of social network analysis (SNA) is complicated because of the problems of viability maintenance that inevitably emerge in data intensive domains. Largely this is the case due to the properties of semi-structured objects and processes that are analyzed by data specialists using data mining techniques and others automated analytical tools. Firstly, new sources (e. g. online social networks, published databases) constantly become available for gathering, analyzing, and interpreting data. Thus, new sources should be modelled and embedded in existing data structures maintaining logical consistency. Secondly, new techniques and underlying algorithms are also constantly being developed. Therefore, analysis results should be integrated with source data, and metamodels that describe the integration should be adaptable and extensible. Thirdly, the dynamism of semi-structured objects entails constant changes in knowledge models produced by domain experts and knowledge engineers. Considering that the same data could be used by different domain experts it is crucial not only to support traceability of changes in models but also to ensure independence of expert interpretation of these models. The analysis of existing approaches to information integration shows lack of solutions implementing traceability of changes. This paper introduces a novel approach to information integration based on ontological and production knowledge models to fill this gap. A conceptual description of the approach and an underlying set-theoretical model are given. The main difference of the given approach from the existing ones is the uniformity to the integration of different kinds of ontologies as well as different versions of ontologies using rule-based model of ontological mappings, which is demonstrated by the example of solving the special case of the problem of identifying key users (so-called bridges) in social networks.

Published: October 2022

This paper describes a method for searching and recognizing extended underwater communication using a stereo camera mounted on an autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicle (AUV). The output data is a list of coordinates in three-dimensional space. The method uses a pair of stereo images as input data. The method uses stereo images to create a dense depth map and a map of height differences, with the help of which extended structures are detected. The problem of filtering the interference present on the seabed is also solved by screening out objects whose size does not correspond to the expected size of the pipeline. The algorithm calculates the coordinates of the selected point on a two-dimensional image and projects it into three-dimensional space. Thus, the algorithm gets the coordinates of the point through which the pipeline build. The objectives of the work are: description of the method, setting up an experiment on a virtual model, description of the experiment and its results. The paper presents a step-by-step method for solving the problem, presents the results of an experiment set on a virtual model. The algorithm confidently determined the selected pipe in clean areas, and areas with interference having a height greater than the pipeline. As a result, a list of coordinates is obtained through which the virtual pipeline runs. Further development and improvement of the developed method is possible

Keigo to use and to be used: Reevaluation of keigo learning in Japanese language classes
Authors: Maruki Yasutaka
Published: October 2022

For Japanese language speakers, including native speakers, the formal expression of polite, honorific, and humble forms, called keigo, has been a great challenge to master. This research summarizes the challenges discussed by the previous researchers and will introduce three pedagogical methods of learning and practicing keigo: a conversation with one’s future self, the first encounter conversation, and a spiritual or sacred conversation. Different from methods introduced in previous researches, these methods focus on the use of keigo in one’s true self-expressions rather than reactive or objective expressions.
DISTRIBUIÇÃO ÉTNICO RACIAL E FAIXA ETÁRIA DE ÓBITOS POR CÂNCER DE COLO DO ÚTERO NO NORDESTE BRASILEIRO.
Authors: Antunes da Silva Júnior Auvani Antunes
Published: October 2022

O câncer de colo uterino (CCU), no Brasil, é a terceira neoplasia maligna mais presente entre mulheres e o quarto motivo de óbito por câncer na população feminina. A incidência e prevalência dessa neoplasia é variável entre os diversos subgrupos femininos, a depender de fatores sociais, econômicos, culturais, étnicos, dentre outros, e englobam particularidades psicossociais típicas de cada mulher. Além disso, cada região brasileira apresenta particularidades que interferem na conjuntura do desenvolvimento ou não das repercussões da infecção pelo Vírus do Papiloma Humano (HPV), fator de risco para o câncer do colo uterino. Desta forma, sendo o CCU uma patologia de importante repercussão, este estudo tem como objetivo identificar a prevalência/número maior de casos de óbitos das mulheres acometidas pelo câncer do colo do útero de acordo com a etnia/raça na região Nordeste do Brasil. Para tal, esse estudo epidemiológico qualitativo do tipo retrospectivo usa de dados secundários do Sistema de Informações de Mortalidade (SIM), disponibilizados pelo Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) e da Sala de apoio a Gestão Estratégica do Ministério da Saúde (SAGE), no período de 2007 a 2017. Nesse contexto, as taxas de mortalidade aumentam consideravelmente após os 60 anos de idade o que segue a tendência a nível nacional, mais sendo seu maior pico de mortalidade por CCU encontrado após os 80 anos. Além disso, a soma da mortalidade em relação ao câncer de colo uterino de mulheres pretas e pardas (população negra) da região nordeste sempre foi maior que em relação às demais etnias, independente da faixa etária analisada. Assim, são necessários novos estudos epidemiológicos mais aprofundados sobre morbidade, ambiente socioeconômico dos indivíduos e relações étnico raciais.

Authors: Parkhi Mugdha Milind
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study was to clinically assess the efficacy of nasolabial flap for reconstruction of oral cavity defects post fibrotomy in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) patients. The study was implemented on ten patients with OSMF with mouth openings of less than 10 mm interincisal distance. The extent of mouth opening (inter incisal distance) along with the viability and vascularity of the flap was evaluated clinically over a period 6 months. In our study, complications like flap necrosis, flap loss, infection and obstructive sialadenitis were not observed. However, intra-oral hair growth was seen in our 7 patients, extra-oral scar at the donor site was seen in all our patients and salivary fistula formation was reported in 1 of the patient which underwent fistula repair later. Mean mouth opening of 37 mm was achieved at 6 months post-operatively, with a mean increase of 31.5 mm. No relapse was encountered, even at last follow-up. On the basis of the results, we conclude that the inferiorly based nasolabial flap is an efficacious, viable and a reliable option for reconstruction of oral cavity defects in OSMF.

Published: October 2022

Pediatric ICH peaks in the first year of life especially in neonatal period with hematological abnormalities or structural vascular disorders such as arteriovenous malformations (AVM) or aneurysms. Imaging modality of choice is NCCT head. Urgent surgery when indicated should be performed early.

To evaluate the causes of spontaneous ICH in paediatric patients and reviewing the literature.

We have discussed the causes of spontaneous ICH in our paediatric patient and we have discussed the management provided to this patient.

Taking a detailed history from the parents and the child is important for determining any history of head injury and bleeding episodes. Despite comprehensive evaluation, it may not be possible to determine the cause of ICH in some pediatric cases.
A rare anatomical star shaped branching pattern of spinal accessory nerve: A case report with review of literature
Authors: Kantharia Rajesh A , Banerjee Monalisa , Kantharia Shehnaz R , Teli Zahoor Ahmad
Published: October 2022

The spinal accessory nerve provides motor innervation to the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscle. It is an extremely important structure to be preserved during neck dissection to avoid sequalae related to shoulder dysfunctions. The incidence of shoulder dysfunction and morbidity can be attributed to varied anatomy and branching pattern of the nerve or the contribution by the cervical plexus to the motor innervations of the trapezius muscle. Hence it is important to have knowledge of the varied anatomy and branching pattern of the spinal accessory nerve to avoid the possible shoulder morbidity and dysfunction following neck dissections. Lanisnik B etal’s study showed that there are three recognizable branching patterns of the spinal accessory nerve for innervation of the trapezius muscle. In type 1, the SAN enters the Sternocleidomastoid muscle and a single trapezius muscle branch exits from the posterior border of the SCM after receiving communications from the cervical nerves, especially C2 and C3. In type 2, the motor branch for trapezius muscle separates from the main trunk at level II, before the nerve enters the sternocleido-mastoid muscle. In the type 3 pattern, CN XI enters the SCM in the same way as described in type 1, and the motor branch for the trapezius muscle exits from the SCM muscle behind its posterior border; however, it does not immediately travel to level V and the trapezius muscle, but instead takes a more medial course and mixes with the cervical nerves, predominantly C2 and C3. In this case report, we will discuss an unusual branching pattern of spinal accessory nerve similar to the type 3 variant as explained by Lanisnik that we have encountered during a modified radical neck dissection, in a case of Squamous cell carcinoma of right buccal mucosa.

Published: October 2022

The block policy caused by COVID-19 has made public life researchers cannot conduct their studies. However, in recent years, fewer public life studies have proposed new tools to reduce human job involved in data collection process. Hence, this article has proposed a new way to collect public life studies data: watching TikTok live streaming. This research aims to test the reliability of this new data collection method by comparing the contents of Hutong residents' public lives from field research and TikTok live streaming. The researcher conducted an ethnographic investigation in Hutong. In the field research process, the researcher used observation to collect data and recorded it by taking photos and taking notes. While watching TikTok, the researcher selected four anchors who often conduct live streaming in Hutongs to watch and recorded the data by taking screenshots. Data from two different collection methods was analyzed by thematic analysis separately. Results show that the data obtained by watching TikTok live streaming is more comprehensive than that obtained by field research; besides, using TikTok to collect data can sufficiently reduce the input of human jobs. The researcher thought the social function of TikTok may provide more help for data collection. Hence this study advised future research to test the reliability of conducting interviews using TikTok.

Published: October 2022

The goal of this research is to assess the impact of economic expansion as measured by GDP, industrial value added, and energy consumption. The error correction model (ECM) method is used in this work, which takes a quantitative approach. This research is necessary in order to address Indonesia's environmental issues. The findings of this study suggest that economic expansion has a favorable short- and long-term impact on CO2 emissions in Indonesia. The added value of the sector has an impact on both the short and long term rise in CO2 emissions in Indonesia. The energy consumption variable then has no influence on CO2 emissions in the short term but has a considerable positive effect on CO2 emissions over time. This demonstrates that increased energy or ecologically friendly technology utilization is still required. So that environmental damage, particularly CO2 emissions, can be considerably decreased.

In this article, a monitoring study was conducted on the content of hydrogen sulfide in the air of the city of Atyrau, the exceeded content of which is associated with reclamation work in the evaporation fields, where industrial wastewater from the Atyrau oil refinery and household water from all over the city have been drained for decades. Monitoring was carried out for the period from September 2021 to June 2022 on 15 observation points recorded by the Republican State Enterprise "Kazhydromet" through the mobile application “Air Kz". The measurements were carried out by the GANK-4AR gas analyzer. The data were analyzed taking into account the maximum permissible concentrations, the repeatability of concentrations of impurities in the atmosphere, the standard index, taking into account the average sample values of hydrogen sulfide content at 10 points out of 15, where increased hydrogen sulfide content was noted. Of the remaining these 10 points, the highest value was noted in the Drag and drop AOR (Atyrau Oil Refinery) point, the hydrogen sulfide content in which, according to the average maximum values, exceeded more than 36.5 MPC (maximum permissible concentration). In general, by month, we note that high values for the average values of the maximum hydrogen sulfide indicators were noted in September, April and June months. Especially strong increase is characterized during warm periods in industrial areas and residential areas as NCOC No. 109 (Vostok), NCOC No. 110 (Privokzalny), NCOC No. 112 (Akimat), NCOC No. 111 (Zhilgorodok), NCOC No. 113 (Avangard) and NCOC No. 114 (Zagorodnaya) points.

Custo de transação e a interveniência reflexa dos incentivos fiscais no desempenho do investimento
Authors: Lima Lauro Vinício de Almeida , Nóbrega Cavalcante Paulo Roberto
Published: October 2022

A pesquisa objetivou verificar, nas empresas de capital aberto listadas no Brasil Bolsa Balcão (B3), excluídas as do setor de financeiro, seguros e utilidades públicas, entre os anos de 2010 a 2017, a interferência dos custos transacionais, decorrentes dos incentivos fiscais, na relação entre a variação dos investimentos e o desempenho operacional das empresas. Definindo o lucro antes dos tributos e resultados financeiros como indicador de desempenho e o investimento em bens de capital como métrica para o investimento, o estudo se desenvolveu sob a ótica dos elementos da teoria do custo de transação. As evidências empíricas encontradas indicam que os custos adicionais de transação, decorrentes das cláusulas concessórias dos incentivos fiscais, no Brasil, podem ser capazes de influenciar negativamente no desempenho operacional das empresas, ante os investimentos realizados. Os achados reacendem a discussão sobre a utilidade dos incentivos fiscais para economia e para sociedade, além de demonstrar a necessidade de um acompanhamento adequado do aproveitamento dos incentivos fiscais obtidos e as suas repercussões no desempenho das empresas.

Published: October 2022

O trabalho visa analisar a estrutura da rede de pesquisadores em sustentabilidade e desenvolvimento  sustentável da Amazônia brasileira, formada entre os anos de 2016 a 2020, com base em estudos de redes sociais e com foco em pesquisas publicadas em periódicos da área de estudo das ciências sociais aplicadas. Quanto ao objetivo a pesquisa é caracterizada como descritiva, pois busca apresentar as propriedades estruturais dos pesquisadores que compõem a rede. Em relação ao método de pesquisa é classificada como quantitativa. O corpus de pesquisa foi formado por artigos científicos publicados nestes periódicos e que possuiam foco em sustentabilidade ou no desenvolvimento sustentável, disponibilizados nas bases de dados Scopus (Elsevier), Web of Science (WoS) e Scielo. Foram localizados 352 artigos. A aplicação dos critérios de exclusão resultou em uma amostra de 115 artigos. Foram identificados 459 autores, pertencentes a 171 instituições, 100 estrangeiras e 71 brasileiras, que tiveram ao menos uma publicação de artigo científico. A Universidade Federal do Pará e o Instituto Tecnológico Vale  se destacaram com o maior número de pesquisadores filiados. Quanto aos resultados referentes as medidas de centralidade, esta rede caracterizou-se como homogênia e através de uma média das três medidas analisadas pode-se dizer que a pesquisadora Rachael D. Garrett é uma colaboradora de grande importância para estudos na Amazônia brasileira.  Identificaram-se evidências de que a construção do conhecimento por meio das relações sociais para colaboração em pesquisa encontra-se em fase de interação na rede de pesquisadores da Amazônia brasileira, considerando as práticas isoladas identificadas.

Published: October 2022

As cidades se caracterizam, principalmente, por comportarem contingentes massivos de pessoas e ocuparem a maior parte da produção e consumo do mundo, na mesma medida em que abrigam diversos problemas ambientais e sociais urbanos. Este artigo objetiva analisar a produção científica internacional sobre os ODS na perspectiva de Cidades. Realizou-se uma pesquisa exploratória-descritiva e, utilizando VosViewer e CitNetExplorer, fez-se uma análise das redes bibliométricas que caracterizam a produção internacional acerca do tema. Verificou-se o conteúdo das obras de maior impacto do campo em desenvolvimento. Os resultados apontam para formações de clusters de autores, organizações e países – embora seja perceptível a dispersão nas redes, fruto aparentemente, da contemporaneidade do tema. Os termos mais destacados giram em torno das palavras-chave elencadas como foco do estudo. Quanto às obras de impacto no campo, o Fator H apontou para 5 publicações.  A principal foi Defining a Global Urban Development Agenda, de Pernell (2016).
Relação de causalidade entre os índices de sustentabilidade empresarial e Ibovespa no Brasil
Authors: Costa Lucas Edimilson , Carlos Yoshikuni Adilson , Di Agustini Carlos Alberto
Published: October 2022

O tema sustentabilidade empresarial tem sido objeto de atenção tanto de  acadêmicos quanto de empresários e investidores. Atentos a esses movimentos, os agentes dos mercados financeiros têm desenvolvido índices que reflitam o comprometimento das corporações com ações de sustentabilidade. Em 2005, a Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo criou o primeiro índice de sustentabilidade da América Latina, denominado Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE B3). Esse artigo objetiva analisar a relação causal entre o ISE B3 e o Ibovespa, um dos principais índices do mercado de capitais brasileiro, com o uso dos testes de causalidade de Granger e do modelo autorregressivo vetorial (VAR), além de suporte via decomposição por wavelets. Os resultados indicam que há uma relação de causalidade bidirecional entre o ISE B3 e o Ibovespa, consubstanciando mais informações aos investidores como forma de redução de riscos de investimentos. Dessa forma, de posse de informações relevantes a respeito do comportamento esperado do ISE B3 ou Ibovespa, os investidores poderão alocar recursos no índice de interesse em função do comportamento do outro e, vice-versa, como forma de tentar minimizar perdas no mercado financeiro.
Analysis of the conditions of movement of mobile devices of magnetic type on a ferromagnetic working surface
Authors: Koryagin S.I. , Sharkov O.V. , Velikanov N.L.
Published: October 2022

Mobile devices of magnetic type are used in technical systems for inspection, diagnostics, cleaning and repair of ferromagnetic working surfaces of various functional purposes. When moving such devices, it is necessary to ensure the constant contact of their working elements with the surface, as well as the minimum adhesion force that affects the accuracy and time of movement on the surface on which the device is installed. The task of analyzing and determining the geometric conditions, the relationship between the forces of adhesion and gravity, which ensure the possibility of functioning of a mobile device of magnetic type on an inclined surface, is set. To solve this problem, physical and mathematical models are proposed. They describe the relationship between the geometric and power parameters of a mobile device. The nature of the dependence of the required force of the electromagnet on the angle of inclination of the ferromagnetic surface and the adhesion coefficient is established. It is shown that with an increase in the adhesion coefficient, the force developed by the electromagnet decreases non-linearly and tends to a certain limit. The electromagnet can be omitted when the mobile device is moving on a horizontal surface and the coefficient of adhesion is high.
Influence of plastic instability of near-contact chip layers on the wear mechanism of a carbide tool

Published: October 2022

The mechanism of plastic deformation of the incised chip layer during cutting of carbon steels and titanium alloy is investigated. It is shown that high degrees of deformation cause melting and the vortex nature of the movement of particles of the processed material in it, causing intensive wear of the carbide tool.
The Trigger Effect: Cognitive Biases and Fake News
Authors: Ostillio Tommaso
Published: October 2022

This research study focuses on the problem of populistic propaganda online. In particular, this research study provides three case studies gathered in a Facebook Group of the Italian populistic movement Movimento 5 Stelle.

On the one hand, the three case studies provide three powerful counterexamples to the thesis that online media are purposeful aggregator of people. In fact, this research study finds that online media are the perfect environment for populism to thrive. For online media seem to foster the aggregation of people into groups whose main common denominator is the total refusal of anything that opposes the groups’ views. On this basis, this paper provides evidence that online media may impoverish democratic confrontation.

On the other hand, this paper finds that the one of the causes of the rapid rise of populistic movements in Western countries might also be related to the problem of cognitive biases. Indeed, the case studies presented in the paper posit the existence of something that is addressed as the trigger effect, i.e. agents’ tendency to react impulsively to any kind of content that fits agent’s views about current events. Specifically, this research study finds that the activation of the trigger effect might be a direct consequence of the activation of the narrow framing bias and of the anchoring heuristic in presence of fake news.

Published: October 2022

Fractal is a collection of geometric patterns found in nature and can also be a mathematical model visualization in which the pattern is repeated on a different scale. The formation of a fractal object can be done with a rule called chaos games. Chaos games explain a dot that moves erratically. On this research there will be random and non-random modification of the chaos game rules on a square. The purpose of this research is to make modifications and get visual results from modifications of the rules random and non-random chaos game. Depictions of random and non-random chaos game are carried out using MATLAB programs. Visualization of the random chaos game rule modification is a new fractal object that has self-similarity. Whereas modifications of the non-random rules by giving a particular sequence in selection a square point result in convergent points at specific coordinates. This is demonstrated by showing the value of the limit from the distance between points that produced by non-random chaos game is zero.
