The Role of Valence in Perception: An ARTistic Treatment
Authors: Jacobson Hilla
Published: December 2021

Attempts to account for the phenomenal character of perceptual experiences have so far largely focused on their sensory aspects. The first aim of this article is to support the claim that (perceptual) phenomenal character has another, significant, aspect—the phenomenal realm is suffused with valence. What it’s like to undergo perceptual experiences—from pains to supposedly “neutral” visual experiences—standardly feels good or bad to some degree. The second aim is to argue, by appealing to theoretical and empirical considerations pertaining to the phenomenon of (perceptual) valence-variance, that perceptual valence cannot be accounted for by extending the prevalent representationalist account of phenomenal character. Thus, a revision in the understanding of phenomenal character is called for. Finally, the phenomenon of valence-variance serves to make some headway toward defending a new Attitudinal-Representational Theory of perceptual valence, according to which perceptual valence is constituted by first-order conative attitudes directed toward the representational objects of experiences.

Published: December 2021

Modern bony fishes possess a high morphological diversity in their auditory structures and auditory capabilities. Yet, how auditory structures such as the otoliths in the inner ears and the swim bladder work together remains elusive. Gathering experimental evidence on the in situ motion of fish auditory structures while avoiding artifacts caused by surgical exposure of the structures has been challenging for decades. Synchrotron radiation-based tomography with high spatio-temporal resolution allows the study of morphofunctional issues non-invasively in an unprecedented way. We therefore aimed to develop an approach that characterizes the moving structures in 4D (=three spatial dimensions+time). We designed a miniature standing wave tube-like setup to meet both the requirements of tomography and those of tank acoustics. With this new setup, we successfully visualized the motion of isolated otoliths and the auditory structures in zebrafish (Danio rerio) and glass catfish (Kryptopterus vitreolus).

Authors: Xu K-Z , Wei C-J , Hu D-J
Published: December 2021

Kinematics theory for a multi-body system is used to analyse translational joint error, rotational joint error, and quadrature error in a spherical grinding system. A virtual grinding point method is proposed that is based on process features, and the feasibility as well as effectiveness of this method is demonstrated. A volumetric error model of the grinding system is created and the compensation method is coded into a control computer program. A laser interferometer is used to experimentally measure the error both with and without the proposed error compensation scheme. The experimental results validate the proposed approach in that they show that the spherical surface grinding precision is significantly improved.
Electrolytic In-Process Dressing Superfinishing of Spherical Bearings Using Metal—Resin Bond Ultra-Fine CBN Wheels
Authors: Raffles M H , Stephenson D J , Shore P , Jin T
Published: December 2021

The use of electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) superfinishing has been investigated with the aim of substantially improving surface finish on spherical bearing balls as well as reducing process times. Using ELID in a superfinishing configuration is substantially different from the more conventional precision grinding set-up. With this ELID superfinishing system, metal—resin bonded (MRB) wheels containing very small superabrasives (30 to 0.12 μm) were employed. Surface finishes of 2 nm Ra were achieved with a #12 000 wheel, an order of magnitude better than balls produced using the conventional production techniques of barrelling or polishing. Consistently sub-10 nm Ra finishes were achieved with a #2000 wheel. Different ways of using the ELID system, including ELID 1, ELID 2, and ELID 3, were studied to examine how the different types control the cutting condition at the wheel's surface. It is the ability to control easily the cutting condition of superabrasives of this size that allows mirror surface finishes to be efficiently produced. Monitoring of wheel spindle and ELID power usage was found to provide useful information in assessing the wheel condition.
Flow drilling and thread forming of continuously reinforced aluminium extrusions
Authors: Engbert T , Heymann T , Biermann D , Zabel A
Published: December 2021

Light-metal extrusions are widely used as frame-structure elements. Joining these profiles via screw coupling is a challenging task due to the small wall thickness of the extrusions and the missing accessibility within a frame structure. The combination of flow drilling and thread forming offers a possibility to cope with this task. These processing techniques allow the manufacture of stable threads in thin-walled structures with the profile accessible from one side only. Nowadays, aluminium profiles can be continuously reinforced through composite extrusion. Mechanical properties, like increased tensile strength compared with homogeneous profiles, make reinforced profiles preferable for applications such as safety-relevant components. However, the reinforcement can seriously affect machining processes as well as the machining results. Therefore, the flow-drilling operation, the thread-forming operation, and the process results have been analysed in detail with a new, difficult-to-machine material combination, namely steel-wire-reinforced aluminium extrusions. The crucial factor when machining lightweight extrusions are the forces acting perpendicular to the thin walls, so the influence of the reinforcement and the processing parameters on the feed force during flow drilling is presented. To examine the effect of the reinforcement on the thread-forming result and to quantify the benefit of flow drilling, the threads are stressed with a defined tensile load until failure.
Understanding breast cancer as a global health concern
Authors: Wilkinson Louise , Gathani Toral
Published: December 2021

Breast cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world. The most recent global cancer burden figures estimate that there were 2.26 million incident breast cancer cases in 2020 and the disease is the leading cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. The incidence is strongly correlated with human development, with a large rise in cases anticipated in regions of the world that are currently undergoing economic transformation. Survival, however, is far less favourable in less developed regions. There are a multitude of factors behind disparities in the global survival rates, including delays in diagnosis and lack of access to effective treatment. The World Health Organization’s new Global Breast Cancer Initiative was launched this year to address this urgent global health challenge. It aims to improve survival across the world through three pillars: health promotion, timely diagnosis, and comprehensive treatment and supportive care. In this article, we discuss the key challenges of breast cancer care and control in a global context.
Nanopore sequencing of RNA and cDNA molecules in Escherichia coli
Authors: Grünberger Felix , Ferreira-Cerca Sébastien , Grohmann Dina
Published: December 2021

High-throughput sequencing dramatically changed our view of transcriptome architectures and allowed for ground-breaking discoveries in RNA biology. Recently, sequencing of full-length transcripts based on the single-molecule sequencing platform from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) was introduced and is widely used to sequence eukaryotic and viral RNAs. However, experimental approaches implementing this technique for prokaryotic transcriptomes remain scarce. Here, we present an experimental and bioinformatic workflow for ONT RNA-seq in the bacterial model organism Escherichia coli, which can be applied to any microorganism. Our study highlights critical steps of library preparation and computational analysis and compares the results to gold standards in the field. Furthermore, we comprehensively evaluate the applicability and advantages of different ONT-based RNA sequencing protocols, including direct RNA, direct cDNA, and PCR-cDNA. We find that (PCR)-cDNA-seq offers improved yield and accuracy compared to direct RNA sequencing. Notably, (PCR)-cDNA-seq is suitable for quantitative measurements and can be readily used for simultaneous and accurate detection of transcript 5′ and 3′ boundaries, analysis of transcriptional units, and transcriptional heterogeneity. In summary, based on our comprehensive study, we show nanopore RNA-seq to be a ready-to-use tool allowing rapid, cost-effective, and accurate annotation of multiple transcriptomic features. Thereby nanopore RNA-seq holds the potential to become a valuable alternative method for RNA analysis in prokaryotes.

Published: December 2021

Background: Postural skills are fundamental in motor activities, so far no evidence of a direct relationship has been found, it is therefore recommended to consider the following directions, the higher the level of sports competition, the better the body posture; or better athletes also have a better body posture. Around the age of 11-14 years, it is a period of aggressive development, if the rapid growth of the bone system is not associated and symmetrical with the development of soft tissues serious postural deficiencies may develop in table tennis players.
Methods: We used the web camera – photographic method (38) related to the Sensor Medica software that allows the acquisition of images in order to detect postural deficiencies and we considered it necessary to have a clear image of the level of technical-tactical training of female juniors III using 5 tests specific to topspin attack in order to assess the influence of body posture on such tests. Eighteen female juniors III (the mean ± SD age, height and weight were 11.1 ± 0.2 years, 147.7 ± 2.6 cm, 39.0 ± 2.0 kg). Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the procedures for establishing the normality of data distribution, Levene's Test for Equality of Variances, the t test for independent samples. The confidence interval was set at 95% (p < 0.05),
Results and Conclusions: Since Sig. (2-tailed) or p < α = 0.001 and taking into account that the confidence interval limits for the difference between the sample mean and the reference value (95% CI for the mean difference) do not contain the zero value, it is accepted that there are statistically significant differences between the shoulder inclination for the female athletes in the sample studied and the reference value. We identified that at the level of alignment between anatomical landmarks, the percentage of deficiency of the entire lot of female juniors III in the case of shoulders is 100% and at the level of PSIS is 66%, which validates several studies that stated that in this period of aggressive growth correlated with repetitive unilateral executions specific to the topspin attack lead to postural deficiencies. In terms of the influence of body posture on the quality level, we identified that Group 1 – (without PSIS imbalance) has a higher average overall efficiency of the 5 tests (11.33) compared to Group 2 (8.58), even if from a statistical point of view these differences are not significant.

Haloaerosoltherapy: Mechanisms of Curative Effect and Place in the Respiratory Rehabilitation
Authors: LEMKO Olha , LEMKO Ivan
Published: December 2021

Introduction. Management of patients with chronic pathology requires development of long-term programs with organic combinations of medicamental and non-medicamental influences. Haloaerosoltherapy is a group inhalation of rock salt aerosol with concentration of more than 2-3mg/m3 and certain dispersion (with presence of large-, medium- and small-grained aerosol) aboveground.
Material and method. On the basis of literature data review and results of own researches a comprehensive description of haloaerosoltherapy, its mechanisms, available technologies, indications and effectiveness at pulmonary pathology was given. Results and discussion. Basis of haloaerosol curative influence is hyperosmolar stimulus that improves drainage function of bronchi and provides sanitizing effect, which causes further changes at local and systemic levels. This justifies haloaerosoltherapy usage as method of rehabilitation treatment. Comparison of haloaerosoltherapy and other methods of halotherapy (use of halite), in particular, "salt rooms (caves)" was made. It has been proven that "salt rooms" can be used only as spa procedure.
Conclusions. Application of term "halotherapy" to all methods that use halite or underground treatment is incorrect. This determines necessity for stop using this term. It is necessary to differentiate clearly applied methods of treatment using terms that reflect the essence of therapeutic effect. Haloaerosoltherapy should be considered a method of respiratory rehabilitation with a proven mechanism of action and effectiveness. Haloaerosol is obtained using specific devices - halogenegenerators. The effectiveness of haloaerosoltherapy immediately after the course of treatment and in remote period is testified.

Assessment of the importance of physical activity and quality of life for patients diagnosed with osteoporosis during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: ANTONESCU Oana-Raluca  , SILIȘTEANU Andrei Emanuel , RACHERIU Mihaela , MIHALACHE Cosmin
Published: December 2021

Introduction. Osteoporosis is one of the most important ten diseases worldwide, still causing extreme suffering to patients and huge costs to the health system. The rapid increase of the population 's aging was involved in many aspects of human health, and, among these ones, osteoporosis was one of the main public health issues.
The aim of the study was to assess the importance of physical activity and the quality of life in patients diagnosed with osteoporosis during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Material and methods. The study is longitudinal, it was conducted in an outpatient setting for a period of 1 year and it included 20 patients diagnosed with osteoporosis. The demographic variables (age, living environment, body mass index) were assessed, and as parameters: pain (VAS scale), fracture risk (FRAX score), quality of life (Qualeffo-41 questionnaire), bone mineral density at the spine and at the femur (DEXA). The patients received pharmacological treatment such as bisphosphonates and underwent physiotherapy for pains: low frequency currents (TENS), ultrasound and physical therapy.
Results and discussions. In all the studied cases, it was considered that the pain decreased following the use of the medicinal and physiotherapeutic treatment. This is an expected result given that other studies have shown this. Postmenopausal women in Romania with osteoporosis have a lower HRQoL than healthy controls, measured with the SF-36 instrument and the total QUALEFFO-41 score.
Conclusions. The obtained data point out the correlation between bone mineral density, fracture risks and exercises in patients diagnosed with osteoporosis. The FRAX score is useful to identify patients who need the combination of drug therapy and exercises to prevent vertebral and non-vertebral fractures in the next 10 years.

Considerations regarding the relationship between Fitness, Wellness and Healthy Lifestyle
Authors: LIUȘNEA Cristian Ștefan
Published: December 2021

Introduction. Currently, the crises triggered by the pandemic, in the fields of health, freedom of movement, economic, with impact in the social and cultural spheres, bring back today the practical applicability of the concepts of fitness and wellness.
Material and method. In our study we will refer to the effects of the pandemic on health (everyone's well-being), to see how they accentuated the negative effects of the risks that specialists linked to sedentary lifestyle; increased stress; static anti-physiological positions for prolonged periods of time, which result in cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and even cancer, to which is added an irrational diet. We will also refer to the relationship between the quality of life of people and the need to find the most effective ways to combat the negative effects of risk factors, by overcoming the obstacles posed by the financial situation and cultural patterns both in terms of lifestyle, as well as the eating behavior of people from different backgrounds.
Results and discussions. We are of the opinion that specialists must go in their approaches, from the cultural understanding of man, to find ways to individualize the means of intervention so as to achieve the proposed objectives. The framework could be, for children and adolescents - the reorganization of school physical education, and for young people and adults - leisure activities, in which the emphasis could be falls on the concepts of Fitness and Wellness, with a beneficial effect on quality of life and personal satisfaction.
Conclusion In this context, we believe that it is necessary to reconsider the need to make the population aware of the formation of a healthy lifestyle. The means could be physical fitness, wellness, rational nutrition and recovery according to the effort made, their benefits can have a major impact on health and prolong life expectancy.

Η έκθεση του ηπατικού ιστού στην ισχαιμία, είναι μία καταστροφική αλλά και αναπόφευκτη διαδικασία στη χειρουργική του οργάνου. Η βλάβη η οποία προκαλείται σε κυτταρικό επίπεδο, κατά την ισχαιμική επαναιμάτωση του ήπατος, είναι αποτέλεσμα της επίδρασης ενός καταρράκτη βιολογικών διεργασιών, στις οποίες συμμετέχουν πολλά μόρια και φλεγμονώδεις μεσολαβητές. Το πολύ σοβαρό σύνδρομο, το οποίο εκδηλώνεται στις συνθήκες αυτές, είναι καθοριστικό για τη βιωσιμότητα, τη λειτουργική ικανότητα και την αρχιτεκτονική του ήπατικού παρεγχύματος, καθως οι βλάβες που προκαλούνται, ενδέχεται να περιλαμβάνουν την απλή δυσλειτουργία του οργάνου, την ηπατοκυτταρική καταστροφή και νέκρωση, έως και την ανάπτυξη ίνωσης. Εκτιμώντας αυτά τα δεδομένα η διεθνής πειραματική έρευνα έχει στραφεί, τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες, στην περαιτέρω διερεύνηση, αξιολόγηση και κατανόηση των μηχανισμών πρόκλησης του συνδρόμου ισχαιμίας έπαναιμάτωσης του ήπατος προκειμένου να διερευνηθούν οι δυνατότητες βελτιστοποίησης της κλινικής και διεγχειρητικής πρακτικής στην χειρουργική του ήπατος. Συγχρόνως ένα πλήθος βιολογικών και φαρμακολογικών πειραματικών εργασιών, έχουν ως αντικείμενο, την αναζήτηση παραγόντων, οι οποίοι θα μπορούσαν να συμβάλλουν στην μείωση ή και απάλειψη των δραματικών επιπτώσεων της ισχαιμικής επαναιμάτωσης.Η Σιλιμπινίνη είναι μία ουσία η οποία παράγεται στη φύση και είναι γνώστη για της ηπατοπροστατευτικές ιδιότητές της. Η ανάπτυξη της ιατροβιολογικής έρευνας των τελευταίων δεκαετιών τεκμηρίωσε και αύξησε το φάσμα των ευεργετικών δυνατοτήτων της. Όμως, η ιδιαίτερα χαμηλή υδατοδιαλυτότητα της σιλιμπινίνης, σε συνδυασμό με την έντονη βιομετατροπή πρώτης διόδου από το ήπαρ, έχουν σαν αποτέλεσμα την πολύ φτωχή βιοδιαθεσιμότητα μετά την από του στόματος χορήγηση, ενώ δεν επιτρέπουν την ενδοφλέβια χορήγηση της. Πρόσφατα, παρασκευάστηκε και αξιολογήθηκε invitro και invivo ένα υδατοδιαλυτό λυόφιλο προϊόν τηςσιλιμπινίνης μετην υδροξυπροπυλ-β-κυκλοδεξτρίνη (HP-β-CD),το οποίο αποδείχτηκε 10 φορές πιο βιοδιαθέσιμο σε σύγκριση με την μητρική ουσία 296, 297. Επιπλέον, μπορεί να χορηγηθεί ενδοφλεβίως δεδομένου ότι η HP-β-CD που έχει χρησιμοποιηθεί ως έκδοχο, είναι εγκεκριμένη τόσο από τον αμερικάνικο FDA(U.S. Food and Drug Administration) όσο και από τον EMA (European Medicine Agency). Ο σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης ήταν να διαπιστωθεί εάν η ενδοφλέβια χορήγηση Σιλιμπινίνης,με τη μορφή του υδατοδιαλυτου λυόφιλου συμπλόκου με την HP-β-CD,θα μπορούσε να αναστείλει τις βλάβες που προκαλεί η ισχαιμία επαναιμάτωση στο ήπαρ σε πειραματικό μοντέλο σε επίμυες. Οι βιοδείκτες οι οποίοι αξιολογήθηκαν με ανοσοϊστοχημικό και qRTPCR έλεγχο ήταν οι Προ-φλεγμονώδεις παράγοντες TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1 καθώς και οι μεταλλοπρωτεϊνάσες MMP-2, MMP-2 και ο αναστολέας της μεταλλοπρωτεϊνάσης-2 ο TIMP-2, και εκτιμήθηκε η δυνατότητα της Σιλιμπινίνης να αποτρέψει τις καταστροφικές επιπτώσεις αυτού του συνδρόμου, με μέτρο τη μεταβολή της έκφρασης των προαναφερόμενων βιοδεικτών.
Immigrant learners’ cultural identities in the vocabulary input of EFL textbooks through prototypical associations.
Authors: Cifone Ponte María Daniela , Mora Guarín Jaqueline
Published: December 2021

In recent decades, scholars’ attention has been focused on how the target and source cultures can be integrated to EFL materials. Despite significant progress in this respect, the source culture is still considered as the predominant culture in a classroom, even in countries where immigration is reaching unprecedented numbers (Suárez Orozco, 2001; McKay, 2003). This poses some challenges for selecting the vocabulary input for EFL materials and promoting cultural diversity in the classroom. For this reason, since semantic prototypes are anchored in the categorisation of mental lexicon (Taylor, 1989; Aitchison, 2003), they may shed light on what cultural words are being and should be integrated to EFL textbooks to foster the integration and balance of predominant and non-predominant cultures. This study aims to examine whether immigrant learners’ cultures are evidenced in the vocabulary input of two EFL textbooks used in La Rioja, Spain; and to analyse if these cultural identities are represented through prototypical associations by means of two semantic categories: free-time activities and festivities. The results suggest that (i) the target culture is pervasive while immigrant students’ cultures are scarcely included in EFL materials; (ii) there are similarities and differences regarding the cultural aspects drawn through prototypical associations in the two EFL textbooks selected; and (iii) the cultural identity aspects are scarce because most of the vocabulary input of EFL textbooks is focused on the use of words from the target language. The present study has implications for textbooks publishers and multilingual learners as it provides insights into the unbalanced cultural picture that EFL textbooks draw through word associations.
Speech acts in travel blogs: users’ corpus-driven pragmatic intentions and discursive realisations.
Authors: Pascual Daniel
Published: December 2021

Travel blogs epitomise an informal, digital environment where international users engage in dialogical interactions about their travelling experiences. While doing so, they deploy a range of pragmatic intentions to exchange information and build discussion. Speech acts (Searle, 1975) encapsulate those intentions, and are generally assumed to differ in their illocutionary force depending on users’ communicative needs, and on whether hosted in posts or in comments. This paper explores the frequency and saliency of speech acts in travel blogs, by undertaking a contrastive study as regards generic features in an exploratory corpus of 18 Englishmediated travel blog posts and 367 travel blog comments. The three circles of English (Bolton & Kachru, 2006) are used to balance bloggers’ sociolinguistic background and represent native and nonnative speakers. A corpus-driven typology of speech acts for the travel blog is designed, since aprioristic, traditional classifications may not match users’ intentions in asynchronous, globalised, computer-mediated settings. Connections of particular speech acts with each of the generic instances, whether posts or comments, are revealed, and prototypical discursive realisations of those speech acts are qualitatively provided. The study unveils bloggers’ communicative practices and yields pragmatic and discursive resources users can handle to encode their pragmatic intentions in travel blog posts and comments.
A Model for Integrated Inventory and Assortment Planning
Authors: Martínez-de-Albéniz Victor , Kunnumkal Sumit
Published: December 2021

Integrating inventory and assortment planning decisions is a challenging task that requires comparing the value of demand expansion through broader choice for consumers with the value of higher in-stock availability. We develop a stockout-based substitution model for trading off these values in a setting with inventory replenishment, a feature missing in the literature. Using the closed form solution for the single-product case, we develop an accurate approximation for the multiproduct case. This approximated formulation allows us to optimize inventory decisions by solving a fractional integer program with a fixed point equation constraint. When products have equal margins, we solve the integer program exactly by bisection over a one-dimensional parameter. In contrast, when products have different margins, we propose a fractional relaxation that we can also solve by bisection and that results in near-optimal solutions. Overall, our approach provides solutions within 0.1% of the optimal policy and finds the optimal solution in 80% of the random instances we generate.

Published: December 2021

Há um consenso na academia em atribuir a causa da crise internacional de 2008 ao processo de financeirização da economia dos Estados Unidos. Esta pesquisa considera esse entendimento correto, porém insuficiente para entender com profundidade como a crise impactou a economia mundial e o sistema interestatal. O objetivo deste trabalho é fugir do “nacionalismo metodológico” que permeia essa visão e entender a crise de 2008 como uma crise da conjuntura da economia-mundo capitalista. Seguindo a análise dos Sistemas-Mundo, o artigo é iniciado com o estudo da atual conjuntura, de expansão financeira do ciclo sistêmico estadunidense, que deve ser entendida através dos processos complementares de financeirização econômica e reestruturação produtiva mundial. Em um segundo momento, a pesquisa se volta para entender como esses dois processos construíram um “eixo sino-americano de acumulação”. Finalmente, entende-se que, apesar da aparente simbiose dessa relação, ela apresenta um desequilíbrio estrutural que originou a crise de 2008.Palavras-chave: Crise Financeira Internacional de 2008; China; Estados Unidos.ABSTRACTThere is a consensus in academia to attribute the cause of the 2008 international crisis to the financialization process of the United States’ economy. This research considers this understanding correct, but insufficient for a deep understanding of the crisis’ impact in the world economy and in the interstate system. This research aims to escape the “methodological nacionalism” that permeates this vision, understanding the 2008 crisis as a crisis in the conjuncture of the capitalist world-economy. Following the World-Systems Analysis, this research starts with the study of the current conjuncture, the financial expansion of the American systemic cycle of accumulation, which must be understood through the complementary processes of economic financialization and world productive restructure. In a second step, the research turns to understand how these two processes built a “Sino-American axis of accumulation”. Finally, it is understood that, despite the apparent symbiosis of this relationship, it presents a structural imbalance that originated the 2008 crisis.Keywords: 2008 International Financial Crisis; China; United States. Recebido em: 10/04/2021 | Aceito em: 17/07/2021.

Durante a segunda década do século XXI, é possível notar a maior proeminência de partidos de direita na Europa, que se fortalecem com base em discursos nacionalistas que exaltam a preservação de identidades estatais e fomentam narrativas anti-imigração. A proposta de leis mais rígidas quanto ao fluxo de pessoas feita pelo Ministro do Interior da Itália Matteo Salvini em nome da manutenção da segurança nacional e as declarações racistas proferidas pelo primeiro-ministro húngaro Viktor Orbán marcam a cena midiática internacional, expondo uma nova fase de políticas e posicionamentos orientados pelo que Denica Yotova (2017) chamou de “neonacionalismo”. Sendo assim, o presente trabalho terá como objetivo estabelecer uma análise sobre a ascensão de partidos de direita em diversos países do bloco europeu e a emergência de discursos xenófobos. Para isso, discursos midiáticos recentes de governantes e candidatos direitistas serão considerados. Palavras-chave: Neonacionalismo; Xenofobia; Direita Europeia.ABSTRACTDuring the second decade of the 21st century, it is possible to note the greater prominence of right-wing parties in Europe, which are strengthened on the basis of nationalist discourses that exalt the preservation of state identities and foster anti-immigration narratives.

A MEDIAÇÃO PENAL EM PORTUGAL E A VISÃO DOS MEMBROS DO MINISTÉRIO PÚBLICO CRIMINAL: breves e (des)pretensiosas considerações
Authors: Silva Fernando Laércio Alves da
Published: December 2021

A mediação como técnica alternativa de resolução de conflitos penais ancorada na ideia de justiça restaurativa foi introduzida em Portugal pela Lei n. 21/2007. Após um começo promissor, aos poucos a mediação foi sendo abandonada, estando em estado letárgico desde 2017. Buscando compreender as possíveis causas dessa decadência e perspectivar a possibilidade de sua retomada, analisamos neste trabalho se a visão e atuação dos membros do Ministério Público Português em relação à mediação figura entre as causas de seu abandono. Verificação essa conduzida, metodologicamente, por meio da coleta de dados documentais e pela auscultação dos próprios membros do Ministério Público.
AÇÃO RESCISÓRIA COM BASE EM VIOLAÇÃO A PRECEDENTE: PROPOSTA INTEPRETATIVA DE APLICABILIDADE NA AÇÃO ANULATÓRIA DE SENTENÇA ARBITRAL
Authors: Steffler Luan Eduardo
Published: December 2021

Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa exploratória, de procedimento monográfico, de abordagem dedutiva, objetivando analisar o cabimento de Ação Rescisória por violação a precedente judicial, especificadamente os contidos no rol do art. 927, do CPC15. Verificado isso, surge a proposta de aplicação da mesma regra nas sentenças arbitrais, sendo consequentemente cabível ação anulatória. Com base nas fontes adotadas, pode-se afirmar, tanto o cabimento  de ação rescisória nas sentenças jurisdicionais, como de ação anulatória nas sentenças arbitrais que violam precedentes judiciais, eis que atividade do juízo arbitral se equipara em todo aos pronunciamentos judiciais, não sendo correto  admitir que, de um lado, o juízo estatal encontre-se sujeito à incidência do precedente e, de outro, o juízo arbitral esteja livre de sua observância.

A PRIVATIZAÇÃO DO PROCESSO EXECUTIVO CIVIL PORTUGUÊS E A MUTAÇÃO DO PARADIGMA CLÁSSICO PARA O NEOLIBERALISMO E SEUS LIMITES JURÍDICOS
Authors: Pica Luís Manuel
Published: December 2021

A privatização da ação executiva revela-se como um fenómeno que tem marcado a transferência de poderes que cabiam na alçada do domínio público, concretamente do poder jurisdicional do Estado, para o domínio privado, sendo estes chamados a praticar atos inerentes e próprios do tribunal em sede de processo executivo. A privatização assenta numa lógica de auxílio e de cooperação entre o setor privado e o Estado, sendo aproveitado o potencial daqueles na atuação e na prática de atos de natureza jurisdicional com o intuito de obter uma justiça mais célere, eficiente e equitativa num mercado que se pretende ágil, coerente e juridicamente seguro.
OS NEGÓCIOS PROCESSUAIS NA TUTELA COLETIVA – BREVES APROXIMAÇÕES
Authors: Osna Gustavo , Vieira Isabelle Almeida
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo possui como objeto a temática da celebração de acordos processuais na seara da tutela coletiva, tendo em vista as especificidades que marcam esse campo. Em síntese, demonstra-se que o problema central que se coloca, aqui, dialoga com as próprias peculiaridades que caracterizam a inserção do tema da autocomposição no processo coletivo. Além disso, indica-se que a própria porosidade que ainda marca a matéria dos negócios processuais exerce um papel nesse jogo. De todo modo, partindo do pressuposto de que a composição no processo coletivo é admissível, defende-se que o mesmo valeria para os negócios processuais. Ainda assim, essa admissibilidade não afasta a obrigatoriedade de que sejam adotadas cautelas para preservar a legitimidade dessas convenções.
Jurisdição sustentável e a (im)possibilidade da revisão em decisão administrativa da gratuidade dos emolumentos extrajudiciais concedida pelo poder judiciário
Authors: Gonçalves Gonçalves Caetano , Gomes Magno Federici
Published: December 2021

O Estado Brasileiro possui como um dos seus objetivos fundamentais a construção de uma sociedade livre, justa e solidária. Não há dúvida que para efetivar estes objetivos é necessário um sistema judiciário acessível inclusive aos hipossuficientes financeiramente. Garantias constitucionais de acesso amplo ao Judiciário foram  ampliadas e reforçadas com o art. 98 do CPC/2015, que incluiu expressamente os emolumentos extrajudiciais no conceito de justiça gratuita, a qual será concedida e revogada pelo juiz da causa em respeito ao sistema uno de controle judicial.  O método de investigação escolhido foi o jurídico-teórico e raciocínio  com técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica.
A PRODUÇÃO ANTECIPADA DA PROVA PARA A BUSCA DE BENS NO PATRIMÔNIO DO DEVEDOR: RUMO A UMA EXECUÇÃO MAIS EFETIVA E RACIONAL
Authors: Hill Flávia Pereira
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo almeja analisar o cabimento da ação de produção antecipada da prova com vistas a promover a busca de bens no patrimônio do devedor e, dessa forma, permitir que, municiado de tais dados, possa o credor melhor avaliar a conduta a ser adotada: (a) elaborar proposta de acordo considerando as reais possibilidades financeiras do devedor; (b) desistir da instauração da execução, por se mostrar, a priori, infrutífera; ou (c) instaurar a execução de forma consciente e responsável. O estudo pretende trazer uma contribuição de lege lata em prol do incremento da efetividade da execução no Brasil, evitando a deturpada instauração de execuções judiciais com o principal e (de fato) preparatório propósito de perquirir se o devedor possui bens em seu patrimônio. O manejo da ação de produção antecipada da prova, em seu novel perfil traçado no CPC/2015, disponibiliza ao operador do Direito um relevante instrumento processual de lege lata, enquanto se discute e providencia a previsão, no Brasil, de um modelo nacional de procedimento extrajudicial pré-executivo (PEPEX) adotado, com sucesso, em Portugal
LITÍGIOS DE CONSUMO NAS RELAÇÕES TRANSFRONTEIRIÇAS – INJUNÇÃO EUROPEIA E PROCESSO EUROPEU PARA ACÇÕES DE PEQUENO MONTANTE NA ERA DA E-JUSTICE
Authors: Mesquita Lurdes Varregoso
Published: December 2021

O aumento das relações de consumo no mercado europeu potencia a litigiosidade transfronteiriça. A União Europeia, atenta a esta realidade, tem procurado criar as medidas e os instrumentos necessários a atenuar as dificuldades próprias dos conflitos plurilocalizados, numa atitude responsável de tutela do direito de acesso à justiça. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho pretende avaliar, no quadro judicial europeu, de que forma o processo europeu aplicado aos litígios de consumo tem evoluído, em especial na sua eficácia, através do uso das tecnologias de informação, ou seja, no âmbito da justiça electrónica. Efectivamente, o uso dos meios electrónicos nos procedimentos europeus de segunda geração – em especial na injunção europeia e no processo europeu para acções de pequeno montante – tem sido reforçado, procurando aliar os sistemas de informação aos processos, de forma a proporcionar acessibilidade e celeridade. Apesar desse esforço, os procedimentos europeus para litígios transfronteiriços não têm ocupado um lugar expressivo nas opções dos operadores forenses. Embora se conclua que a e-justice pode contribuir para a eficácia e celeridade dos processos europeus, constata-se que, em contraciclo, há alguma resistência à sua utilização. Há vantagens reconhecidas nestes instrumentos europeus, mas a sensibilidade jurídico-cultural para a sua efectiva utilização é variável, na arquitectura judicial europeia, o que tem contribuído para um desequilíbrio dos sistemas.

Surviving State-Led Disaster: The Legacies of Hillsborough
Authors: Day Sally , Stanley Elizabeth
Published: December 2021

This article explores the trajectories of survival in the aftermath of state-led disaster. In particular, it considers how survivors have experienced and understood their survival from the 1989 Hillsborough disaster and its subsequent injustices. Drawing upon interviews and conversations with those who experienced the disaster, as well as with key professional informants, it critically examines the factors that assist or inhibit survival attempts. The article shows that survival significantly depends upon wider official and social responses to survivors. Survival is a continual process, and responses towards survivors can support quality of life but also cause re-victimization and retraumatization.

Onsite reference infrared radiators are used to correct thermal imagers for noncontact fever screening in real time. We have developed a flat-plate reference radiator of the highest accuracy to enhance reliability of the fever screening. Our contact-durable blackbody composite with good heat transfer, which has a microcavity structured surface offering high emissivity (

), was employed for the emissive surface of the reference radiator. Evaluation of the developed reference radiator regarding the spectral emissivity, in-plane uniformity, and temperature stability demonstrated an unprecedentedly small uncertainty of 0.10°C for the radiance temperature (95% level of confidence).
Polycomb repressive complex 2 in adult hair follicle stem cells is dispensable for hair regeneration
Authors: Flora Pooja , Li Meng-Yen , Galbo Phillip M. , Astorkia Maider , Zheng Deyou , Ezhkova Elena
Published: December 2021

Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) are multipotent cells that cycle through quiescence and activation to continuously fuel the production of hair follicles. Prior genome mapping studies had shown that tri-methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3), the chromatin mark mediated by Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), is dynamic between quiescent and activated HFSCs, suggesting that transcriptional changes associated with H3K27me3 might be critical for proper HFSC function. However, functional in vivo studies elucidating the role of PRC2 in adult HFSCs are lacking. In this study, by using in vivo loss-of-function studies we show that, surprisingly, PRC2 plays a non-instructive role in adult HFSCs and loss of PRC2 in HFSCs does not lead to loss of HFSC quiescence or changes in cell identity. Interestingly, RNA-seq and immunofluorescence analyses of PRC2-null quiescent HFSCs revealed upregulation of genes associated with activated state of HFSCs. Altogether, our findings show that transcriptional program under PRC2 regulation is dispensable for maintaining HFSC quiescence and hair regeneration.
