NINJAS FAZEM BICO? Um estudo de plataforma de crowdsourcing no Brasil
Authors: Carelli Rodrigo de Lacerda , Bittencourt Angela Tavares de Castro
Published: December 2020

O presente trabalho realiza uma análise sobre a plataforma de crowdsourcing GetNinjas. Baseado em pesquisa empírica, por meio de questionário semi-estruturado apresentado a vinte e quatro trabalhadores inscritos na plataforma, que se voluntariaram a responder às perguntas on-line em formulário eletrônico disponibilizado, o artigo conclui que o objeto de pesquisa pode ser definido como uma plataforma de crowdsourcing mista e genérica que atua tanto em nível global (on-line) quanto em nível local (off-line). O estudo, além de apontar problemas relacionados com a concorrência entre trabalhadores, em uma espécie de leilão negativo, e com a avaliação unilateral publicizada dos prestadores de serviços por parte dos clientes, sem a existência de um contraditório antes da qualificação, argumenta que a cobrança de “moedas virtuais” realizada pela empresa para os profissionais acessarem as propostas de trabalho não é lícita, tendo em vista o princípio da não-mercantilização do trabalho, a Convenção nº 181 da OIT (Organização Internacional do Trabalho) e a aplicação analógica da Lei nº 6.019/1974.

Authors: Artur Karen , Grillo Sayonara
Published: December 2020

A partir do marco teórico das tradições democráticas e, numa abordagem neoinstitucionalista, este artigo tem por objetivo destacar os sentidos da reconfiguração do Direito do Trabalho presentes nas disputas sobre a terceirização no Brasil. Para tanto, procede a uma pesquisa sobre o tema nas principais arenas, legislativa e judicial, por meio da análise da produção das normas em suas relações com as instituições e os agentes sociais. Como resultado, aponta para a ilegitimidade das mudanças institucionais pautadas na racionalidade econômica do mercado, em detrimento daquelas conformadas em arenas democráticas e estabelecidas na Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil.
ESTADO ADMINISTRATIVO NORTE-AMERICANO E COVID-19: contexto e perspectivas
Authors: Almeida Maíra Villela , Oliveira Beatriz Scamilla Jardim de Moraes
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo pretende analisar as transformações e legitimidade do Estado Administrativo norte americano nas respostas institucionais à pandemia da Covid-19. Tomam-se como marco teórico as teorias acerca da constitucionalidade, legalidade e legitimidade desse modelo. A principal hipótese do presente trabalho é que o Estado Administrativo se justifica pela necessidade de constante resposta institucional em meio a tensões inevitáveis ao ordenamento jurídico a partir de casos práticos. Especificamente com relação ao Covid-19, objetiva-se destacar a reafirmação das propriedades do Estado Administrativo no cenário de crise. Nesse contexto, o protagonismo assumido pelo Executivo decorre da sua capacidade de, com maior eficiência, lidar com ambientes de incerteza. Essa hipótese representa a ideia de que a busca de superação permanente das dificuldades pelo Executivo, uma atuação permanente entre Executivo e Judiciário, além de uma simbiose entre teorias e casos, garantem a manutenção e perpetuação do pacto firmado pelos new dealers com a promulgação do APA até o momento.

LIMITES DO CONSEQUENCIALISMO NO DIREITO: dos dilemas Trolley ao coronavírus
Authors: Streck Lenio Luiz
Published: December 2020

Nestes tempos de crise provocada pelo Coronavírus, tem se popularizado a ideia de que o direito deve ceder a argumentos consequencialistas. Neste breve ensaio, pretendo levantar questionamentos sobre esse consequencialismo jurídico, mostrando seus problemas, frequentemente negligenciados por seus defensores. Critico a importação de discussões puras de filosofia moral para o direito, como a disputa entre utilitarismo e deontologia ilustrada pelos dilemas trolley. Os raciocínios jurídicos operam sob outra lógica, de concretizar direitos já existentes. Demonstro como uma criteriologia jurídica, apesar de ter sido constituída sob elementos de moralidade política, não se confunde com juízos morais para a solução de casos. Para tanto, ofereço uma série de exemplos que mostram o caráter distinto que uma teoria da decisão assume no direito. Por fim, analiso dois casos judiciais extremos no enfrentamento da pandemia, em que se decidiu de modo consequencialista ou formalista, e defendo uma terceira via, na linha de Ronald Dworkin: as decisões por princípio.

O SIGNIFICADO DO USO DE MÁSCARAS
Authors: Sunstein Cass Robert
Published: December 2020

Muitos incentivos são monetários e, quando instituições públicas ou privadas buscam mudar de comportamento, é natural mudar os incentivos monetários. Mas muitos outros incentivos são resultantes de significados sociais, sobre os quais as pessoas podem não deliberar, mas que podem operar como subsídios ou tributos. Em alguns momentos e lugares, por exemplo, o significado social do tabagismo tem sido positivo, aumentando o incentivo ao fumo; em outros tempos e lugares, foi negativo e, portanto, serviu para reduzir o tabagismo. No que diz respeito à segurança e à saúde, os significados sociais mudam radicalmente ao longo dos anos e podem ser drasticamente diferentes a depender do lugar. Muitas vezes, as pessoas se manifestam de acordo com os significados que lamentam ou, pelo menos, desejam que seja de outra forma. Mas é extremamente difícil para os indivíduos alterar os seus próprios conceitos. A alteração de conceitos pode advir da lei, que pode, por meio de um mandato, transformar o significado da ação em um mero: "Eu cumpro a lei", ou em algo menos brando, como: "Sou um bom cidadão". A alteração de significados sociais também pode advir de ação privada em larga escala, projetada ou promovida por "empreendedores que ressignificam", que pode transformar o significado da ação de "Eu sou um excêntrico" para "Eu cumpro meu dever cívico" ou  "Eu protejo outras pessoas de danos." Às vezes, subgrupos se rebelam contra significados novos ou alterados, produzidos pela lei ou por empreendedores que ressignificam, mas geralmente esses significados permanecem e produzem mudanças substanciais.
Surrogacy: A Commodification That Needs Legislative Attention
Authors: A/p Jayabalan Sheela , Randawar Daleleer Kaur , Hashim Normawati
Published: December 2020

Fatwa prohibits surrogacy agreements for the Muslims in Malaysia. The legal stand for non-Muslims is left in silence, whereas surrogacy raises issues concerning women and children that necessitate legal attention. Regulative measures are imminent to regulate issues arising in a surrogate arrangement. Malaysia has yet to report of any surrogacy cases. Thus, this article analyses decided cases from other countries that have gained international attention to synthesize issues arising in surrogacy arrangements. Based on the case study analysis, this article discourses areas that regulation should encroach specifically to safeguard the welfare and safety of women and children.

Authors: Kimwah Junior , Jusilin Humin , Sahibil Zaimie
Published: December 2020

This paper discusses the relevance that exists in a cave used as a place of residence since the time of Neolithic. This archaeological site contains important artefacts that show modern civilization (homo sapiens) at the end of the Neolithic period. This research focuses on the cultural development of the ancient people through the discovery of artefacts in the Kain Hitam Cave. Preliminary findings show that ritual activities have been practised. Initial conclusions indicate that the ancient people practised animism. The linkages between the two aspects are essential in giving new insight into the cultural elements they were practising years ago.

Assessing the Relevance of Education for SelfReliance in Public Secondary Schools in Meru District Council in Arusha-Tanzania
Authors: Jerome Gabriel , Mkulu Demetria Gerold
Published: December 2020

Education for Self-Reliance has been in practice in Tanzania for several years since 1967. The country made reforms in various education policies and programs to ensure that students in secondary schools are provided with Education for Self-Reliance (ESR) to realize national education objectives. This study sought to examine the relevance of ESR in secondary schools on helping students to have independent living after graduation. The study was guided by the following objectives, to assess the relevance of Education for Self-Reliance and to ascertain the subjects empowering students in Self-Reliance in secondary schools. The study adopted the human capital theory developed in 1776 and adopted by Theodor Schultz in the field of education in 1969. The researcher used a mixed research approach and convergent parallel research design to collate data. A sample size of 192 informants was used to provide data in quantitative and qualitative terms. Quantitative data were analyzed with the support of SPSS program version 20, while qualitative data was analyzed through coding, categories and themes. Content and face validity of the instrument were observed and reliability tested in split-half system to obtain 0.80 correlation coefficient which showed the research instruments were valid and reliable. The findings postulated that ESR is relevant as it helps students to alleviate poverty, create employment, increase confidence, promote students’ knowledge and skills and free them from crimes and immoralities after graduation. Also, the researcher found that physical education, music, fine arts, commerce, business studies, computer studies and agriculture are very crucial subjects in empowering students in Self-Reliance, however, teachers do not teach these Self-Reliance subjects in public secondary schools. Therefore students are completed secondary schools with inadequate skills for Self[1]Reliance which leads to unemployment, engaging in crimes and failure to seize opportunities around. The researcher further recommended that the Ministry of Education Science and Technology to contrive an educational policy framework to emphasize the teaching of ESR subjects in secondary schools. Also, training and retraining of teachers on Self-Reliance can be an effective way to provide ESR in public secondary schools.
Long-Term Data Preservation Data Lifecycle, Standardisation Process, Implementation and Lessons Learned
Authors: Albani Mirko , Maggio Iolanda , Data Stewardship Interest Group CEOS
Published: December 2020

Science and Earth Observation data represent today a unique and valuable asset for humankind that should be preserved without time constraints and kept accessible and exploitable by current and future generations. In Earth Science, knowledge of the past and tracking of the evolution are at the basis of our capability to effectively respond to the global changes that are putting increasing pressure on the environment, and on human society. This can only be achieved if long time series of data are properly preserved and made accessible to support international initiatives. Within ESA Member States and beyond, Earth Science data holders are increasingly coordinating data preservation efforts to ensure that the valuable data are safeguarded against loss and kept accessible and useable for current and future generations. This task becomes increasingly challenging in view of the existing 40 yearsâ€™ worth of Earth Science data stored in archives around the world and the massive increase of data volumes expected over the next years from e.g., the European Copernicus Sentinel missions. Long Term Data Preservation (LTDP) aims at maintaining information discoverable and accessible in an independent and understandable way, with supporting information, which helps ensuring authenticity, over the long term. A focal aspect of LTDP is data Curation. Data Curation refers to the management of data throughout its life cycle. Data Curation activities enable data discovery and retrieval, maintain its quality, add value, and allow data re-use over time. It includes all the processes that involve data management, such as pre-ingest initiatives, ingest functions, archival storage and preservation, dissemination, and provision of access for a designated community.

The paper presents specific aspects, of importance during the entire Earth observation data lifecycle, with respect to evolving data volumes and application scenarios. These particular issues are introduced in the section on 'Big Data' and LTDP. The Data Stewardship Reference lifecycle section describes how the data stewardship activities can be efficiently organised, while the following section addresses the overall preservation workflow and shows the technical steps to be taken during Data Curation. Earth Science Data Curation and preservation should be addressed during all mission stages - from the initial mission planning, throughout the entire mission lifetime, and during the post- mission phase. The Data Stewardship Reference Lifecycle gives a high-level overview of the steps useful for implementing Curation and preservation rules on mission data sets from initial conceptualisation or receipt through the iterative Curation cycle.
Research Data Management Policy and Practice in China
Authors: Huang Yingshen , Cox Andrew , Sbaffi Laura
Published: December 2020

On April 2, 2018, the State Council of China formally released a national research data management (RDM) policy â€œMeasures for Managing Scientific Dataâ€. Literature review shows that university libraries have played an important role in supporting Research Data Management at an institutional level in countries in North America, Europe and Australasia. The aim of this paper is to capture the current status of RDM in Chinese universities, in particular how university libraries have involved in taking the agenda forward.

This paper uses mixed methods: a website analysis of university policies and services; a questionnaire for university librarians; and semi-structured interviews. Findings from website analysis and questionnaires indicate that RDS at a local level in Chinese Universities are in their infancy. On the whole there is more evidence of activity in developing data repositories than support services. Despite the existence of a national policy there remain significant barriers to further service development, such as the lag in the creation of local policy, insufficient funding for technical infrastructure, shortages of staff skills in data curation, and language barriers to international data sharing and open science. RDS in Chinese university libraries are still lagging behind the English-speaking countries and Europe.
Updating the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model
Authors: Choudhury Sayeed , Huang Caihong , Palmer Carole L.
Published: December 2020

The DCC Curation Lifecycle Model has played a vital role in the field of data curation for over a decade. During that time, the scale and complexity of data have changed dramatically, along with the contexts of data production and use. This paper reports on a study examining factors impacting data curation practices and presents recommendations for updating the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model. The study was grounded in a review of other lifecycle models and informed by a site visit to the Digital Curation Centre and consultation with expert practitioners and researchers. Framed by contemporary conditions impacting the conduct of research and provision of data services, the analysis and proposed recommendations account for the prominence of machine-actionable data, the importance of machine learning for data processing and analytics, growth of integrated research workflows, and escalating concerns with fairness, accountability, and transparency of data and algorithms.

Finalidad y logro de la educación teológica en un mundo plural
Authors: Rojas Cadena Leonardo
Published: December 2020

Theological training has lost prestige in the university world in the face of the scientific and individualistic rationality that has prevailed in modernity. Being able to rethink its purpose and its contribution in said context allows to locate the formation processes and reconfigure the means of approaching theological knowledge to educational contexts. Being able to identify the achievement according to the purposes imposed by the context, allows one to whether the mediation carried out in a didactic way is adequate for those purposes. Based on the fragmentation of a case study, the aim is to present the reflection that emerges from the data about the practices of theology teaching in a Catholic-inspired university, its achievements and, its challenges confronted with the perceptions of the students of the to know. The proposal of this article aims to reflect from the results obtained about the relationship that is established between the theological content, knowing and knowing, but particularly between knowing and knowing, as a process of meaning and meaning of life.

Published: December 2020

Food and water contaminations with heavy metals have been increasing due to the environmental pollution. Decontamination of mercury as one of the most toxic heavy metals seems necessary. The aim of this study is to use L. acidophilus ATCC 4356 to reduce the mercury amount in milk. All possible process variables (including contact time, bacterial count, mercury concentration, temperature, contact time and shaking rate) were screening by Plackett Burman design for determination of main effects. Then main effects (contact time, as well as Hg and biomass concentration) were studied in 5 levels with response surface methodology to reach maximal bioremoval efficiency. The highest decontamination efficiency (72%) was achieved in the presence of 80 μg/L of initial Hg concentration, 1 × 1012 CFU of L. acidophilus ATCC 4356 in the 4th day. Finally, the capacity of this bacterium for Mercury bioremoval was determined at different Hg initial concentrations by using the isotherm models of Langmuir and Freundlich. The results showed the higher correlation coefficient in Langmuir model so, Mercury absorptions obey Langmuir isotherm model. This study indicated that in the case of milk contamination to Hg, as reported in some countries, one of the solutions for metal decontamination could be the bioremoval by lactobacillus as natural valuable biosorbents as an environmental friendly technology.

Authors: Khodier Aya A. , Saafan Amal , Bakeer Walid , Khairalla Ahmed S.
Published: December 2020

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic microorganism commonly found in intensive care units (ICUs), and it is responsible for a broad span of hospital-acquired infections. Persistence of nosocomial infection caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. baumannii is an alarming health care issue in Egypt, and at present, colistin remains the treatment of choice for the management of MDR A. baumannii infections. A. baumannii possesses great capacity to develop and acquire resistance to a broad range of antibiotics. The acquisition and dissemination of antibiotic-resistant determinants in A. baumannii strains are mediated by integrons, especially class I integrons. This study focuses on the characterization of some genetic mechanisms underlying the multidrug-resistant phenotypes of A. baumannii isolates in Egypt. Forty-eight A. baumannii specimens were isolated from different hospitalized patients; least resistance was observed against amikacin and tigecycline, with 60% and 58.5% of the isolates resistant, respectively, whereas 62.5% of the isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem. The highest sensitivity was found for colistin. Genetic analysis revealed that blaoxa-51 was detected in all isolates, the blaoxa-23-like gene was detected in 80% of the isolates, and blaoxa-24 and blaoxs-58 were not detected in any isolate. Finally, PCR analysis revealed that 6.6% of isolates carried the class I integron gene.

Authors: Ravi Lokesh , Girish Shabari , Harshini M. , Sreenivas B.K. Anirudh
Published: December 2020

This study aims at investigation of antibacterial property of Parthenium hysterophorous against aquatic bacterial pathogens and to identify the key bioactive compound of the same. Antibacterial activity of the crude extracts confirmed that chloroform extract PHC has strong antibacterial activity against aquatic pathogens V.anguillarum and V.harveyi with 16mm and 15mm ZOI at 1mg/well concentration. The crude extracts were subjected for GC-MS analysis to identify the secondary metabolites. PHC was subjected to silica-gel column chromatography to separate the individual phytochemicals. PHC was separated into 9 fractions, among which Fraction No.2 demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against V.anguillarum and V.harveyi with 19mm and 17mm ZOI at 10µg/well concentration. Fraction No.2 was identified to be β-sitosterol based on mass spectrometry analysis and fragmentation analysis. In-silico protein ligand docking demonstrated that β-sitosterol has highest affinity to inhibit dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme with -10.10Kcal/mol binding energy. This prediction was further validated using molecular dynamic simulation for 20ns. Based on these computational analyses, it was proposed that β-sitosterol exhibits antibacterial activity via inhibition of DHFR enzyme. β-sitosterol is a well known nutritionally valuable compound that reduces cholesterol levels in humans. It is also been used as supplement feed to increase the nutritional value of cultured fishes. β-sitosterol has also been proven to have positive effect in growth and reproduction of cultivated fishes. Findings of this study strongly suggest the usage of β-sitosterol in aquaculture, as nutritional supplement and also as disease control agent to prevent and control fish diseases caused by Vibrio species.
Estimating Microbial Diversity via Morphological Based Microscopic Image Analysis: Methods and Metrics
Authors: Dhindsa Anaahat , Bhatia Sanjay , Agrawal Sunil , Sohi B.S.
Published: December 2020

To accelerate the monitoring and counting of biodiversity of various species, there is a need for automating the process of computing biodiversity. The calculations of the alpha and beta biodiversity indexes are fundamental for the analysis of ecological and biodiversity studies. Sukhna and Dhanas lakes, India are critical for the maintenance of the health of the residents and aquatic life thriving in them. Both lakes are prone to pollution. Due to these factors, there is a need for building digitized infrastructure for monitoring the health of these lakes. Hence in this research work, an automated algorithm has been devised for the computation of biodiversity of microorganisms. The work focuses on the surface water of both these lakes. The automation of biodiversity computation is done with image processing algorithms and is applied to the primary data collected. From this study, it is apparent that the counting of microorganisms using image processing algorithms is an easier and efficient way for biodiversity studies as compared to the manual process of estimating the population of microbes. The results show that the species richness of Dhanas Lake is more as compared to Sukhna Lake. The dissimilarity between the two lakes is five species as per the primary data collected. This shows that the biodiversity of Dhanas Lake is better than the Sukhna Lake but it is prone to harmful algal blooms. This may be attributed to the fact that Dhanas Lake may have multiple sources of pollution that need to be identified.

Authors: Mahadevaiah Shilpa , Basavaiah Renuka , Parida Manmohan , Batra Harsh Vardhan
Published: December 2020

The enzyme β-galactosidase (β-gal) has extensively used for improvement of lactose intolerance condition. Present study, was designed to assess the potential of β-gal enzyme produced by Lactobacillus fermentum, a kefir isolate, as a biocatalyst for the manufacture of prebiotic galactooligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose. The efficiency of L. fermentum to produce β-gal of 4,254 u/ml was determined by permeabilizing the cells with solvents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and chloroform. Different parameters contributing β-gal production including reaction time, temperature, pH, carbohydrates, and substrate concentration on L. fermentum were studied and optimum β-gal activity was found to be 6,232.13 u/ml. It was observed that different experimental parameters for pH (7.0), temperature (35°C), and carbohydrates (galactose) were statistically significant (p<0.05). L. fermentum was found to produce GOS by transgalactosylation catalysed by β-gal during lactose hydrolysis which yielded di, tri, and tetra oligosaccharides, confirmed by TLC and HPLC. The culture showed β-gal activity, suggesting biotechnological applications and a promising organism for industrial β-gal production.
Estudio comparativo de escamas de las líneas laterales y corporales del Bacalao de profundidad Dissostichus eleginoides (Teleostei: Nototheniidae)
Authors: Sáez Sylvia , Jaramillo Roberto
Published: December 2020

Se estudió la morfología de las escamas situadas en ambas líneas laterales de D. eleginoides y fueron comparadas con las escamas corporales obtenidas de 12 sectores diferentes a lo largo de los ejes antero-posterior y dorso-ventral del tronco. Las escamas de ambas líneas son del tipo cicloídeas y ovaladas; están constituidas por una placa de la escama, un tubo central con una abertura anterior (ausente en algunas escamas del sector medio del tronco) y otra posterior. El análisis morfológico no mostró diferencias entre las escamas de ambas líneas; sin embargo, las escamas corporales se diferencian de las escamas de la línea lateral por la ausencia del tubo central. La mayoría de las escamas del sector anterior del cuerpo son cicloídeas y sólo algunas son del tipo ctenoídeas; mientras que en la zona media y posterior es característica la presencia de ambos tipos de escamas en el lado derecho e izquierdo del cuerpo. Los resultados obtenidos entregan nuevos antecedentes morfológicos básicos tanto para las escamas presentes en ambas líneas laterales como las corporales. Es recomendable en el caso de las escamas de las líneas laterales continuar con estudios histológicos para determinar la conexión nerviosa entre ambas y obtener así una visión más completa del sistema mecanosensorial de D. eleginoides.

Published: December 2020

El presente estudio analiza el impacto de la implementación del sistema de etiquetado nutricional en los alimentos procesados desde la perspectiva del consumidor, en la IV Región de Chile. El nuevo etiquetado nutricional que, desde Junio del 2016, de manera obligatoria y de acuerdo a la Ley N° 20.606 incorpora el sello octagonal en la parte frontal de los alimentos envasados que sobrepasen los límites reglamentados, es una política pública bastante reciente y de la cual no existen estudios en la zona respecto al resultado que ha tenido y si ésta ha cumplido con el propósito por la cual fue dictaminada. En base a esta desinformación, el principal objetivo de esta investigación es describir los posibles cambios que ha inducido el nuevo etiquetado en la decisión de compra de los consumidores. La información que se pretende obtener es determinar el nivel de entendimiento de la población respecto al etiquetado nutricional, evaluando el conocimiento que tienen los consumidores respecto al sello, cómo interpretan este signo de advertencia y finalmente cómo incide esta información en su decisión de compra. Se realizaron 400 encuestas de manera aleatoria. Los resultados obtenidos indican que el patrón de consumo de alimentos o hábitos alimenticios no está cambiando, es decir, el etiquetado nutricional influye poco en la decisión de compra de los consumidores.
