Formulation development and Stability Studies of Meropenem Extended-Release matrix Tablets
Authors: Sihare Mohini , Chouksey Rajendra
Published: April 2019

The aim of this research was to develop a new hydrophilic matrix system containing meropenem (MEX). Extended-release tablets are usually intended for once-a-day administration with benefits to the patient and lower discontinuation of the therapy. Formulations were developed with hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose or poly (ethylene oxide) as hydrophilic polymers, with different molecular weights (MWs) and concentrations (20 and 30%). The tablets were found to be stable (6 months at 40 ± 2°C and 75± 5% relative humidity), and the film-coating process is recommended to avoid MEX photo-degradation. The dissolution profiles demonstrated an extended-release of MEX for all developed formulations. Dissolution curves analyzed using the Korsmeyer exponential equation showed that drug release was controlled by both drug diffusion and polymer relaxation or erosion mechanisms. A more erosion controlled system was obtained for the formulations containing lower MW and amount of polymer. With the increase in both MW and amount of polymer in the formulation, the gel layer became stronger, and the dissolution was more drug-diffusion dependent. Formulations containing intermediate MW polymers or high concentration (30%) of low MW polymers demonstrated a combination of extended and complete in vitro drug release. This way, these formulations could provide an increased bioavailability in vivo.

Authors: Sharma Mohit
Published: April 2019

In Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh, groundwater is one of the substantial resources that need great concern as it is consumed by all the sectors of domestic, irrigation and industrial purposes. The present study examined the groundwater quality of the district on the basis of land use types. A total number of 6 sites were identified in the district from residential, industrial and agricultural areas during pre-monsoon (May 2017) season. It shows that, even the source is not protected; water is not contaminated all the time with faecal pathogens at source. Mostly, water has become contaminated at household because of the poor hygiene practice. The faecal pathogens pathway for water contamination is highly susceptible. Water treatment system is necessary to provide potable water for the community. Together with the water quality improvement, personal hygiene enhancement is also mandatory.  The community of Chotidanda is not aware of the links between hand hygiene and water quality. Even though people do not take any action to improve the water quality in household level they are positive about protecting the water source and for water quality improvement system in community level.

Published: April 2019

A complete urinalysis includes physical, chemical and microscopic examinations. Midstream clean catch collection is acceptable in most situations, but the specimen should be examined within two hours of collection. Cloudy urine often is a result of precipitated phosphate crystals in alkaline urine, but pyuria also can be the cause. A strong odour may be the result of a concentrated specimen rather than a urinary tract infection. Dipstick urinalysis is convenient, but false-positive and false-negative results can occur. Specific gravity provides a reliable assessment of the patient’s hydration status. Glomerular, renal and urologic causes of microhaematuria often can be differentiated by other elements of the urinalysis. Although transient proteinuria typically is a benign condition, persistent proteinuria requires further work-up.
Recent methods for diagnosis of diabetes mellitus
Authors: Tiwari Kuldeep , Kumar Dinesh
Published: April 2019

The diagnostic criteria for Diabetes mellitus have been modified from those previously recommended by the NDDG or WHO. Three ways to diagnose Diabetes are possible, and each must be confirmed, on a subsequent day, by any one of the three methods. For example, one instance of symptoms with casual plasma glucose >200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l), confirmed on a subsequent day by 1)^PG >126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l), 2) an OGTT with the 2- h postload value >200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l), or 3) symptoms with a casual plasma glucose >200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l), warrants the diagnosis of Diabetes.For epidemiological studies, estimates of Diabetes prevalence and incidence should be based on an FPG >126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l). This recommendation has been made in the interest of standardization and also to facilitate field-work, particularly where the OGTT may be difficult to perform and where the cost and demands on participants' time may be excessive.

Published: April 2019

Introduction. Toxic liver injury is becoming greater problem in today?s hepatology. Until today more than 900 drugs, toxins and herbs have been identified that can cause different liver injury. There was no significant research of this problem in Serbia so far. The aim of this study is to present the patient with severe form of acute hepatitis, whose etiology is exclusively toxic. Case outline. A 23-year-old male, from Belgrade, previously healthy, got sick with signs and symptoms that correlated with acute hepatitis. Biochemical analyses pointed to severe form of acute hepatitis with impending hepatocellular failure. The diagnosis of toxic liver injury was set. It was caused by the use of number substances and supplements: ecstasy, whey protein, branched-chain amino acid (BCAA), creatine, high doses of vitamin D, glutamine, and multivitamin complex. He was treated with infusion, gastroprotective, and substitution therapy. During hospitalization, the patient?s symptoms disappeared with gradual normalization of biochemical analyses of the liver. When the patient?s condition was satisfying, blind percutaneous liver biopsy was performed, with the following pathohistological findings: lobular hepatitis, with no fibrosis, etiology correlates to toxic. After a month and a half since the disease had begun, the patient fully recovered. Conclusion. Increased number of persons with toxic liver injury is being registered in developed countries worldwide. Similar trend can be noted in Serbia as well. By presenting young previously healthy man with the severe form of toxic acute hepatitis and impending liver failure, we are pointing out the significance of this problem. Multidisciplinary approach is needed to reach the most effective solutions.
Voluntary Carbon Transparency: A Substitute for or Complement to Financial Transparency?
Authors: Luo Le , Wu Hongjun
Published: April 2019

We analyze the relationship between financial transparency and carbon transparency based on the ethical and opportunistic perspectives. Our sample comprises 10,341 firm-year observations from firms in 55 countries or regions in the CDP (previously the Carbon Disclosure Project) during the period 2003–2015. We measure carbon transparency based on both managerial propensity to publicly disclose carbon information and the level and comprehensiveness of the voluntary carbon disclosure. We operationalize financial transparency based on firms' earnings management (EM). We find that our carbon transparency proxies are negatively associated with EM. These results are consistent with the ethical perspective, which suggests that carbon transparency complements financial transparency rather than substitutes for it. Furthermore, we find that the complementary relationship between carbon transparency and financial transparency is dependent on a country's stakeholder orientation, collectivism in the national culture, the presence of an emissions trading scheme, and regulatory governance.
Track geometry variations in selective laser melting processes
Authors: Volpp Joerg , Brueckner Frank , Kaplan Alexander F. H.
Published: April 2019

Selective laser melting processes are widely used for many industrial applications using a laser beam to melt preplaced powder material layer by layer to create technical parts. The building process of those structures requires remelting of adjacent tracks and layers in order to avoid cavities and achieve the joining of the new track to the previous track and layer. In order to achieve a sufficient overlap and minimize cavities, usually conservative processing parameters are chosen. A higher energy and powder usage efficiency would be achieved if knowing about the formation process of the single tracks and their geometrical dimensions depending on the available powder. In this work, it is shown that the cross-sectional track geometry significantly varies within one layer. A simple model is developed describing the influence of the available powder for each track within one layer. Depending on the hatch distance, different variation patterns are observed and modeled showing that the track variations are inherent phenomena of the process. It can be concluded that the variations of powder availability can cause the geometric variations of the tracks.

Published: April 2019

Single nanowire becomes attractive as a basic component of various nanodevices. Nanowire joining is one of the crucial operations in micro-nano manufacturing. Compared with other joining methods, such as electrical current heating and mechanical pressure, laser illumination can yield metallic contacts through local precision nanosoldering. In this paper, the authors report the joining of one single copper nanowire (CuNW) to a silver film by a laser illumination method. They first cut the silver film on a flexible substrate to form a gap of about 1–4 μm by a 1030 nm femtosecond (fs) pulsed laser. Then, they coat CuNWs by dripping nanowire solution onto the gap, bridge the gap, and then join single CuNW with the fs pulsed laser. By comparison with scanning electron microscope images after and before laser illumination, it is found that the local silver film melts, then wraps partial CuNW, and finally crystallizes. So, the joining is through a part of CuNW embedded in a silver film. In addition, the authors further analyze the joining situation by directly measuring the resistance variation between after joining (Ra) and before joining (Rb). It is demonstrated that the resistance ratio of Ra to Rb decreases from 0.835 to 0.172 with increasing laser power from 10 to 40 mW for 3 s of the laser illumination time. The resistance ratio of Ra to Rb decreases from 0.936 to 0.368 with an increment of the laser illumination time from 1 to 4 s at a laser power of 30 mW. Finally, the authors find that the welded single CuNW enables sensing of glucose at a concentration of 10−5M.
Operating performance of SMEs in Thailand after going public
Authors: Laokulrach Marisa
Published: April 2019

This study investigates the operating performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand, in terms of efficiency and profitability, after issuing initial public offering (IPO) in comparison to their pre-IPO performance. A cross-sectional analysis is also applied to examine the impact of ownership retention and underpricing on operating performance using different measurements. Studies in most developed countries identify a deterioration in post-IPO operating performance; however, few studies have been conducted in emerging markets, especially on SMEs performance after IPO issuance for fund raising. The results of 82 Thai SMEs listed in the Market for Alternative Investment (MAI) during 2001-2014 show the decline of the operating performance for post-IPO issuance compared to a year prior IPO whic99h are consistent with the “window dressing” and “market timing” concepts. SMEs improve their revenue significantly after going public even though their growth is lower than the assets’ growth rate. The original ownership retention has no significant impact on the operating performances in different measurements which are inconsistent with previous studies. The original owners of SMEs maintain relatively high managerial ownership after going public thus there is less agency cost problem. Underpricing has a negative impact on the changes in sales for post-IPO relative to pre-IPO, reflecting that the expectations of investors toward companies’ revenues are different from reality. The findings benefit company owners and management in the area of performance sustainability, and regulators in terms of auditing companies’ performances prior to going public.

Published: April 2019

The study aims to enhance the customer experience on hotel websites in the context of venue’s booking channels to others. The online filed survey is conducted with 321 internet bookers. The exploratory factor analysis is adopted to analyze the data. The progression of customer satisfaction proceeds in a linear fashion on luxury (ranking from 4-star to 5-star hotels) websites. Moreover, the study reveals how hotel website performance would affect the levels of customer attitude and its sustainable development in the context of perceived e-service quality. The exploratory results show that customer satisfaction in online environment has identical processes in the context of up-scale hotel industry. The female group compared to male group, has more sensitive to perceive the impact of functionality of lodging website in developing customer satisfaction. Caution is advised in generalizing findings of this study due to stratified sampling even though the study confirms results of previously conducted studies. This study provides practical tips for website sustainable progress especially for hotel management to pay more attention to the e-service formation process. Therefore, the appropriate marketing strategy can be established to fill gender specific expectations towards individual degree of customer satisfaction.
A critical view on the mainstream theory of economic cycles
Authors: Isaic Radu , Smirna Tudor , Paun Cristian
Published: April 2019

World economy is frequently affected by fluctuations that occur recurrently with a certain periodicity. The predictability of economic fluctuations is low. Frequency and magnitude of cycles is generally reduced. Economy cycles belong to the economy’s DNA. It is measured by different indicators, but the most important is GDP. There are four types of economic cycles: Kitchin (Stocks), Juglar (Investment), Kuznets (Infrastructure), Kondratiev (Technological Innovation). Right now, science and technology are going through major changes that lead to an economic crisis of the Kondratiev model. Fiscal and monetary policy can alleviate fluctuations. Theories explaining economic cycles: overinvestment (misallocation of rare resources), Keynesiana (insufficient aggregate demand), monetarist (lack of monetary discipline), real business cycle (aggregate supply in change), neo Keynesiana (market imperfections), consensus (all factors considered). The financial cycle has been little considered so far. The financial cycle greatly influences the economic cycle, finances allocate resources and creates purchasing power. The financial cycle has a different structure than the economic one. It can use fiscal and monetary policies to direct it. The only paradigm that links the economic and financial cycles is the Austrian economic paradigm. In practice and current economic theory, there is a desire for a coincidence in time between the phases of the economic cycles of the various state entities of the United States and a convergence of evolution towards the same qualitative and quantitative characteristics. This implies an identity of cultural, historical, economic, political, and psychological evolution of the EU, which can not be achieved even between close regions of the same national state. The lack of barriers to the circulation of economic information (goods, services) between regions will lead to an approximate coincidence of economic evolution, but starting from the psychic structure of the inhabitants of a region, the cultural, religious and cultural heritage passing through the capital, the economic zones differ and to force them in different directions will lead to unnecessary fragmentation lines. The anticipated outcome of the study: It is desirable to leave economic areas to evolve in their own terms rather than leveling and uniforming them by economic manipulation techniques. It is preferable to use the method of scientific abstraction and deductive apriorism during the study.
Financial impact analysis of going public at the Warsaw Stock Exchange: Using Fuzzy Set Theory to understand behaviours of mature companies
Authors: Skalická Martina , Zinecker Marek , Pietrzak Michał B. , Meluzín Tomáš , Dohnal Mirko
Published: April 2019

In this paper, we intend to contribute evidence in regard to going public financial impact and thus motivation on a sample of mature companies that launched an IPO at the Warsaw Stock Exchange between 2005 and 2015. First, we review recent literature focusing on financial and non-financial consequences of an IPO. Next, we use fuzzy sets and fuzzy reasoning to define a “mature” company and assess financial consequences of going public. Our main conclusion is that the majority of Polish mature companies use an IPO as a channel how to raise capital and accelerate their investments and growth. This contradicts many previous empirical studies highlighting that the main motivation of mature companies to go public is to use the capital raised within an IPO to rebalance their capital structure.

Authors: Emam Ali Salman , Jais Juraifa Bte , Tabash Mosab I.
Published: April 2019

This study examined the influence of employee empowerment on organizational commitment, and the level to which Tribalism plays a role in the relationship between the former two variables in the context of Islamic banks in Yemen. Indeed, the rationale for introducing employee empowerment is to increase levels of employee’s commitment to ensue positive outcomes. The interrelationships between the variables were analyzed to develop a strategy for increased organizational commitment in the Yemeni Islamic banking sector. This study used a social exchange theory to illustrate the study framework to link the relations between employee empowerment, organizational commitment, and Tribalism. This study relied on quantitative approaches. The study sample comprised of Yemeni Islamic banks’ employees. 450 questionnaires were distributed to employees, out of which, 292 were retrieved and deemed usable for analysis, constituting a 65% rate of response. The partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyze data and test the proposed hypotheses. The results indicated that there is a significant relationship between empowerment of the employees and their organizational commitment in Islamic banks in Yemen. More importantly, this study revealed that Tribalism is a significant mediator on the relationship between employee empowerment, and organizational commitment.

Published: April 2019

The energy sector is particularly important in the national economy as a whole, while the electricity sector is its main component. The developments in this area have strong economic and social repercussions. This article makes an overview of the electricity sector, illustrating the monthly evolution of consumption and production of instantaneous electricity in Romania in the past few years. Further on, the paper presents the monthly evolution of instantaneous consumption and production of electricity in Romania, the annual structure of electricity production and the depiction of some basic indicators of centralized electricity markets managed by OPCOM. The quantitative analysis presents the monthly evolution of weighted average prices on the competitive markets managed by OPCOM and a linear correlation analysis of the spot market prices in the Eastern European region. The conclusions of the article are in line with the research in the field and show that the electricity markets have registered important evolutions in Romania, both in terms of size and prices, evolutions based on both structural and behavioral factors. It also showed that spot market prices had relatively similar developments over the period analyzed in several countries in the region, with price correlations that seem to be even stronger as the interconnection of electricity grids is higher. Therefore, the results confirm the economic theory, namely that increasing the interconnection of electricity markets can lead to energy prices being brought closer, but also to mitigating the shocks affecting these markets.

Published: April 2019

Purpose: This article describes the development, implementation, and impact of a student-created pharmacy internship program with aspects of service-learning, professional development, and ambulatory care pharmacy practice.

Program Description: As the pharmacy profession continues to evolve, pharmacy internships present valuable opportunities for student pharmacists to explore career pathways and develop personal and professional skills. While internships in clinical and industry settings support interns’ professional development, service-based internships provide additional benefits to student pharmacists by promoting cultural awareness, community engagement, and commitment to serving underserved patients. Student leaders from the Student Health Action Coalition (SHAC) at the University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy created a service-learning, ambulatory care-focused pharmacy internship for fellow student pharmacists. Two rising third-year students were selected to participate in the internship in the summer of 2018. Over the two-month program, the interns participated in various program components including direct patient care activities, faculty-led workshops and topic discussions, and quality improvement projects. In addition to supporting the interns’ academic and professional growth, this program also furthered the mission of SHAC to promote positive health outcomes for underserved populations.

Summary: The SHAC Ambulatory Care in Underserved Populations Internship represents an innovative initiative by pharmacy student leaders to develop a service-focused internship for fellow student pharmacists. Participation in the internship provides unique opportunities not often available in conventional pharmacy curricula, including engagement with underserved patient populations and exploration of strategies to mitigate health disparities. Crafted by students for fellow students, this internship provides opportunities for personal and professional growth for both student developers and interns to carry into their future pharmacy careers.

Modular Protein Architectures for pH-Dependent Interactions and Switchable Assembly of Nanocellulose
Authors: Voutilainen Sanni , Paananen Arja , Lille Martina , Linder Markus
Published: April 2019

Protein engineering shows a wide range of possibilities for designing properties in novel materials. Following inspiration from natural systems we have studied how combinations or duplications of protein modules can be used to engineer their interactions and achieve functional properties. Here we used cellulose binding modules (CBM) coupled to spider silk N-terminal domains that dimerize in a pH-sensitive manner. We showed how the pH-sensitive switching into dimers affected cellulose binding affinity in relation to covalent coupling between CBMs. Finally, we showed how the pH-sensitive coupling could be used to assemble cellulose nanofibers in a dynamic pH-dependent way. The work shows how novel proteins can be designed by linking functional domains from widely different sources and thereby achieve new functions in the self-assembly of nanoscale materials.
Monophosphine Ligands Promote Pd-Catalyzed C–S Cross-Coupling Reactions at Room Temperature with Soluble Bases
Authors: Xu Jessica , Liu Richard , Yeung Charles , Buchwald Stephen L.
Published: April 2019

The Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of thiols with aromatic electrophiles is a reliable method for the synthesis of aryl thioethers, which are important compounds for pharmaceutical and agricultural applications. Since thiols and thiolates strongly bind late transition metals, previous research has focused on catalysts supported by chelating, bisphosphine ligands, which were considered less likely to be displaced during the course of the reaction. We show that by using monophosphine ligands instead, more effective catalysis can be achieved. Notably, compared to previous methods, this increased reactivity allows for the use of much lower reaction temperature, soluble bases, and base-sensitive substrates. In contrast to conventional wisdom, our mechanistic data suggest that the extent of displacement of phosphine ligands by thiols is, firstly, not correlated with the ligand bulk or thiol nucleophilicity, and secondly, not predictive of the effectiveness of a given ligand in combination with palladium.

Aim/Purpose: The growing complexity of the business environment and business processes as well as the Big Data phenomenon has an impact on every area of human activity nowadays. This new reality challenges the effectiveness of traditional narrowly oriented professional education. New areas of competences emerged as a synergy of multiple knowledge areas – transdisciplines. Informing Science and Data Science are just the first two such new areas we may identify as transdisciplines. Universities are facing the challenge to educate students for those new realities.

Background: The purpose of the paper is to share the authors’ experience in designing curriculum for training bachelor students in Informing Science as a concentration within an Information Brokerage major, and a master program on Data Science.

Methodology: Designing curriculum for transdisciplines requires diverse expertise obtained by both academia and industries and passed through several stages - identifying objectives, conceptualizing curriculum models, identifying content, and development pedagogical priorities.

Contribution: Sharing our experience acquired in designing transdiscipline programs will contribute to a transition from a narrow professional education towards addressing 21st-century challenges.

Findings: Analytical skills, combined with training in all categories of so-called “soft skills”, are essential in preparing students for a successful career in a transdiciplinary area of activities.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Establishing a working environment encouraging not only sharing but close cooperation is essential nowadays.

Recommendations for Researchers: There are two aspects of training professionals capable of succeeding in a transdisciplinary environment: encouraging mutual respect and developing out-of-box thinking.

Impact on Society: The transition of higher education in a way to meet current challenges.

Future Research The next steps in this research are to collect feedback regarding the professional careers of students graduating in these two programs and to adjust the curriculum accordingly.
A Contrarrevolução Democrática: A transição pelo alto e a Institucionalização das instituições (1974-1979)
Authors: Cardoso Pedro
Published: April 2019

Esse presente artigo tem como objetivo caracterizar o governo do general Ernesto Geisel (1974-1979), que deu início ao processo de abertura política em direção ao regime democrático. Iremos discutir em um primeiro momento os fatores responsáveis pela saída dos militares e nesse sentido um dos questionamentos é se a transição ocorreu por uma “crise” econômica – social ou se foi uma antecipação dos setores dirigentes a uma possível tensão política. A partir disso, iremos indicar como a Comissão Trilateral (CT) contribuiu através do cientista político estadunidense Samuel Huntington na formulação do projeto de distensão e buscar possíveis relações entre as suas recomendações e as principais características desse processo, limitando-se até a reforma partidária realizada no início do governo de João Figueiredo Batista (1979-1985).

Authors: Dos Santos Osnar Gomes
Published: April 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar o cíclico caminho trilhado pela diocese de Propriá-SE até a redemocratização do país, desde o início do seu processo, então desencadeado pela política de distensão da ditadura firmada pelo general Ernesto Geisel. A análise sobre a diocese de Propriá-SE pode oferecer uma compreensão luminosa acerca das distintas atuações da Igreja Católica no Brasil durante a ditadura militar. Além de esclarecer os seus múltiplos comportamentos no período marcado pela redemocratização no Brasil. Estimulado por estes requisitos, o estudo que segue apresenta um breve diagnóstico do processo circular da diocese de Propriá-SE entre o início e o fim da ditadura militar.Palavras-chave: Diocese de Propriá. Ditadura. Redemocratização.
Relações de Trabalho, Igreja Católica e Direitos na zona canavieira de Pernambuco: organização e mobilização de trabalhadores rurais no regime militar
Authors: Andrade Teixeira Raposo Cristhiane Laysa
Published: April 2019

O presente artigo busca discutir as relações entre as mobilizações de trabalhadores rurais e a Igreja Católica na zona canavieira de Pernambuco. O período abordado se estende do início do interesse da Igreja pelas relações no meio rural, com a renovação institucional impulsionada pelo Concílio Vaticano II e Conferência de Medellín, à repressão vivida pela instituição pelo regime militar com a vigilância e perseguição dos membros da Igreja na defesa dos princípios de justiça, dignidade e direitos da sociedade civil e em especial dos trabalhadores no Brasil. Para pensar esta análise, partimos da discussão historiográfica e do cruzamento de fontes produzidas pela Igreja, pelos meios de comunicação e pelos Serviços de Informação do regime autoritário vigente a partir de 1964.
“Comunistas na Igreja”: a atuação dos católicos progressistas no incentivo à participação popular na Região Sisaleira da Bahia nos anos finais do século XX
Authors: Miranda Cristian Barreto de
Published: April 2019

O trabalho proposto tem como objetivo fazer uma breve discussão sobre a atuação de religiosos e leigos, considerados de católicos progressistas, no incentivo à participação popular nas decisões sociopolíticas da cidade de Conceição do Coité, situada na Região Sisaleira da Bahia, nos anos finais do século XX. A ação política desses católicos contribuiu para minimizar uma estrutura política ligada ao período ditatorial e para fortalecer a vivência da Igreja Popular na sociedade coiteense. A perspectiva teórico-metodológica que orienta essa análise compartilha dos pressupostos adotados pela nova abordagem da historiografia política e articula-se com fontes de diversas naturezas.Palavras-chave: Católicos Progressistas; Igreja Popular; Atuação Política; Conceição do Coité.
Classes populares, cultura política e Constituinte (1984-1988)
Authors: Assis Charleston José de Sousa
Published: April 2019

O presente artigo tem por objetivo investigar a cultura política dos brasileiros nos anos da transição para a democracia a partir das sugestões da população à Assembleia Nacional Constituinte, encaminhadas por carta ao Congresso Nacional. As cartas analisadas no presente artigo integram um conjunto documental composto por 72.719 missivas encaminhadas entre os anos 1986 e 1987, nas quais ficaram registradas as queixas, as reivindicações, as sugestões, os elogios, as decepções e os sonhos dos brasileiros que, em maior ou menor grau, acreditavam estar participando da construção de novo um país. Tais registros foram cotejados com outros contemporâneos seus oriundos de outros espaços, como as empresas de comunicação, de entretenimento e partidos políticos. Na análise dos discursos dos missivistas considera-se que os mesmos integram a categoria de classes populares, entendida enquanto uma conformação social não alinhada aos projetos hegemônicos que atua de modo classista, sem que, contudo, seus integrantes pertençam a uma única classe social. Dessa forma, procurou-se compreender os vínculos que as pessoas comuns estabeleceram entre democracia e justiça social nas cartas, assim como identificar a perspectiva classista que aparece naqueles discursos e analisar as correspondências dos mesmos com outros discursos enunciados em diferentes espaços e por distintos atores sociais.
“O paraíso dos criminosos”: imprensa, política e crimes na cidade do Rio de Janeiro durante as eleições do início do século XX
Authors: Ottoni Ana Vasconcelos
Published: April 2019

Resumo: O artigo aborda como a imprensa retratava as supostas relações entre política e as ocorrências de crimes na cidade do Rio de Janeiro durante as eleições do início do século XX. No centro da atenção estão as publicações de crimes cometidos pelos cabos eleitorais/capangas de políticos divulgadas pelos três maiores jornais cariocas da época – Jornal do Brasil, Correio da Manhã e Gazeta de Notícias. Segundo os jornalistas, os delitos perpetrados por tais personagens podiam ser realizados tanto com fins eleitorais, já que agiam a mando dos políticos que buscavam ganhar as eleições a qualquer custo, quanto para finalidades pessoais dos cabos eleitorais/capangas. Procura-se avaliar as justificativas e explicações para tais crimes apresentadas pela imprensa carioca durante as eleições das duas primeiras décadas do século XX. Para isso, optamos por privilegiar duas variáveis localizadas na própria documentação: o relacionamento dos políticos com os criminosos e as influências/pressões políticas na polícia. Na perspectiva dos jornalistas da época, essas variáveis contribuíram para explicar a impunidade e o aumento das práticas criminais no Rio de Janeiro durante os pleitos eleitorais do período em foco.
