A evolução da proibição das entorpecentes para consumo pessoal: um estudo das legislações sobre drogas ao encontro de direitos da personalidade
Authors: Castro Alexander de , Santos Ronaldo José dos
Published: September 2024

Atualmente a conduta de possuir drogas para consumo pessoal é criminalizada pela Lei n.º 11.343 de 2006, na qual se estabelecem penas alternativas ao usuário e ao dependente de drogas, afastando-se a pena de prisão. Foi a partir do século XX que se instalou no país um modelo intervencionista de controle das drogas, fundado em um discurso moral e médico, conduzindo o país a editar normas de repressão às entorpecentes que frequentemente levavam à violação de direitos fundamentais da personalidade do usuário e dependente de drogas. Dessa forma, o presente estudo busca verificar se, em uma tradição de legislações sobre drogas de caráter repressivo, houve um processo de reconhecimento de direitos fundamentais da personalidade do usuário e dependente de drogas, por meio da análise das normas que criminalizam a conduta de possuir drogas para o consumo pessoal. Para tanto, a pesquisa utilizará o método da análise qualitativa de documentos sobre o conteúdo dos diplomas legais sobre as entorpecentes.

Policy Informs Academia: A 6-Element Framework in Disaster Studies
Authors: Petraroli Irene , Baars Roger
Published: September 2024

This paper proposes a new conceptual framework to inform disaster preparedness research and to add a meaningful addition to established frameworks in DRR. The proposed framework is based on six elements: resources, procedures, context, risk, formation and information. This paper will discuss the characteristics of the framework, illustrating its origins in Italian Civil Protection and linkages to current international frameworks and UN definitions of DRR and vulnerability. The logic underlying this framework can help to better understand current challenges in disaster preparedness around the world and identify potential improvements to policy makers in terms of formation of the operators, information of the public, resources and procedures in my research on disaster preparedness. This paper argues that the framework could provide helpful insights into disaster preparedness in different cultural contexts, beyond its Italian origins. It is the hope of the authors that this framework will be tested in different cultural contexts to identify its weaknesses and strengths. Further research should also explore how to overcome or compensate the policy focus of the framework, to allow civil society to fully engage in disaster preparedness strategies.
DAVRANIŞSAL KAMU TERCİHİ (Davranışsal Politik İktisat’ın Doğuşu, Gelişimi ve Geleceği)
Authors: Aktan Coşkun Can
Published: September 2024

Kamu Tercihi (aynı zamanda Politik İktisat olarak da bilinir) siyasetin (politikanın) iktisadi analizini; Davranışsal İktisat ise iktisadın (ekonominin) psikolojik analizi yapar. Bir başka ifadeyle kamu tercihi ekonomiyi politikaya, davranışsal iktisat ise psikolojiyi ekonomiye uygulayarak araştırma yapan iki ayrı interdisipliner araştırma programıdır.

Kamu tercihinin öncülerinden birisi olan Dennis Mueller’in ifadesiyle “kamu tercihinin temel davranışsal önermesi insanın bencil, rasyonel ve fayda maksimizasyoncu olduğudur.” Davranışsal iktisat ise insanın iktisadi alandaki davranış, karar ve tercihlerinin öngörülemezliğini, tutarsızlığını ve mantıksızlığını açıklamaya çalışır.

Authors: Odložilová Šárka , Paral Jiri , Sirovy Miroslav , Zajak Jan , Fibír Aleš
Published: September 2024

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is presently employed across various medical disciplines, including surgical specialties. It is primarily used in the healing of chronic wounds, burn medicine, tissue regeneration support, and scar correction as well as in other surgical and orthopedic indications. Wounds, in general, possess a pro-inflammatory biochemical environment characterized by high protease activity that diminishes the effective concentration of growth factors. In contrast, PRP serves as a source of growth factors and exhibits mitogenic, angiogenic, and chemotactic properties. PRP is a biological product defined as a portion of the autologous blood's plasma fraction with a higher than physiological platelet concentration. PRP is obtained through the centrifugation of blood samples collected from patients. The insights into the biology, mechanism of action, and classification of PRP presented in this review can assist medical professionals in orienting themselves and comprehending the possibilities of the clinical application of this therapy, which remains a subject of investigation and validation. This review summarizes up-to-date information regarding the use of PRP, primarily in burn and reconstructive surgery, plastic surgery, traumatology, and general surgery.

Published: September 2024

Regular cellular materials produced using additive manufacturing (AM) techniques represent a significant development trend in modern engineering materials. Depending on the applied elementary unit cell of topology, it is possible to define the course of the structure deformation process in order to obtain the highest possible energy absorption effectiveness. This feature makes regular cellular structural materials particularly attractive for a number of industrial branches. This paper presents the results of technological trials and the results of experimental studies on the mechanical properties of regular cellular structures made using 3D printing technology under compression test loading conditions. The material used for their production was the Ultrafuse 316L filament and the fused filament fabrication (FFF) technique. The proposed material is a polymer-metal composite with a manufacturing process similar to metal injection moulding (MIM). The adopted research methodology included a feasibility study aimed at achieving material homogeneity and compression tests of the developed and manufactured regular cellular structures under quasi-static loading conditions. Several structural topologies were analysed. Experimental results indicated that regular cellular structures made from 316L steel exhibit high mechanical strength and extensive plastic deformation capabilities. The utilized in this work manufacturing technology used combines the advantages of 3D printing process with the potential of powder metallurgy. The proposed technique of structure manufacturing process is much cheaper than other based on melting metallic powders.

In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the use of rapid prototyping techniques that support industrial processes. The analysis of studies on strength tests of parts manufactured using additive techniques from model materials and hybrid composites usually includes tests of material and strength parameters based on uniaxial tension, bending, and compression tests. For elements manufactured from polymeric materials using traditional methods (e.g. injection moulding), data obtained from these tests are sufficient to determine the strength of the material and to apply the results in the product design process. In the case of the layered extrusion method, due to the model construction process, strength data based on standard samples do not have a direct transposition on the strength of machine parts operating under various load ranges, especially torsional loads. The publication presents the results of tests on the torsional strength of cylindrical samples with splines produced by layered extrusion, vacuum casting technology, and hybrid technology, which combines both technologies. The test samples were made using a Prusa i3 MK3 3D printer and the plasticised plastic modelling (fused filament fabrication, FFF) method, while PolyJet technology was used to create a reference model. The findings indicate that hybrid technology, in which a thin-walled mould is filled with a chemically hardened polymer, achieves the desired strength for the manufactured parts while maintaining dimensional accuracy and shape. The research results show that producing rotating elements using the hybrid technology reduces the sample core’s ability to undergo plastic deformation due to the adhesion between the materials and the occurrence of notches resulting from the model production process using the layered extrusion method.

This article explores the use of unmanned systems for evacuating wounded personnel from the battlefield. It focuses on conclusions drawn from conventional medical evacuation methods, particularly when wounded soldiers are still in the enemy’s operational zone, following the principles of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). Then, general conditions of the injured were determined, which would require evacuation to a safe zone. This allowed us to define the critical capabilities needed for unmanned systems to perform these tasks. The ability of the unmanned system to pick up an injured person who is unconscious and unable to cooperate was identified as crucial. In the further part of the work, existing unmanned systems intended for rescue tasks were collected and critically analysed.

A essência e finalidade da educação cristã Patrística
Authors: Silva Levi Leonido Fernandes da , Rodrigues João , Morgado Elsa
Published: September 2024

Nesta investigação pretendemos captar o papel que a pregação cristã desempenhou, ao longo do período da patrística, na difusão do Evangelho. Na continuidade da evangelização levada a cabo pelos Apóstolos, os Padres da Igreja assumiram a herança do imperativo missionário, dado por Cristo: o catecumenato se cristaliza como instituição eclesial na Igreja do séc. III (Katecumenoi no oriente, e audientes no ocidente), mas recebe a herança de um processo de evangelização cujas raízes se estendem não só à missão levada a cabo pelos próprios Apóstolos, mas também à missão evangelizadora do próprio Jesus. Por tudo isso, nos primeiros séculos, não podemos dissociar os conceitos de pregação e de educação. Centraremos a nossa atenção na figura de Santo Agostinho, salientando, por um lado, o seu contributo no lançamento dos alicerces teóricos e práticos da oratória sagrada, enquanto pastor e educador. A sua vida, a pregação, os seus escritos fizeram de Santo Agostinho o educador do ocidente, cuja matriz marcará definitivamente o futuro do cristianismo.
Usos políticos dos projetos de conversão na fronteira amazônica (Século XVII)
Authors: Pompeu André José Santos
Published: September 2024

O presente texto versa sobre as utilizações políticas que a conversão dos grupos indígenas suscitou na fronteira amazônica. A fronteira a que aludimos aqui diz respeito aos rios Marañon, Solimões e Negro, onde os limites das colônias europeias se encontravam. Se por um lado havia o caráter espiritual, em reduzir os indígenas a fé católica, por outro, as conversões foram amplamente utilizadas pelos estados ibéricos para garantir sua zona de influência, além de garantir a supremacia econômica no vale amazônico. E além dos ibéricos, a conversão foi uma política na qual os indígenas se aproveitaram para tirar vantagens da condição de “vassalo do rei”, que o fato de se tornar católico expressava. Desse modo, o presente trabalho dialoga com os estudos de fronteira, sobretudo, com a noção de Missão como instituição de fronteira, além do Protagonismo Indígena, em demonstrar a perspectiva dos grupos nativos, frente ao processo de conversão.
Aktuelle Herausforderungen des WTO-Streitbeilegungssystems
Authors: Kleist Moritz A.
Published: September 2024

Subject of the work is the solution-oriented analysis of the need for reform of the WTO in the context of its DSM, the judicial pillar of the WTO. Following the WTO DSM, the insufficiency of the legislative pillar of the WTO and the correlative influence of the two pillars are examined. In addition to a need for isolated reform within the pillars, the insights gained in this paper illustrate the necessity for a new understanding of existing concepts in the WTO, such as the WTO as a "member-driven organization", as well as the demand for an overarching reform. On this basis, existing reform proposals are legally and politically reassessed and own reform proposals are developed and drafted de lege ferenda.

Die Geschäftsführerhaftung in Insolvenznähe bei Verlegung des Centre of Main Interests
Authors: Wolf Anja
Published: September 2024

The debtor's Centre of Main Interests (COMI) is the central connecting factor under European insolvency law. With its cross-border transfer, the international jurisdiction for opening insolvency proceedings changes, as does the relevant insolvency law. This transferability creates flexibility on the one hand, but also harbours potential for abusive behaviour - especially in times of crisis. The work analyses the effects of a change in the connecting factor - triggered by forum shopping - with regard to the liability of the managing director within a German GmbH that is at risk of insolvency or already insolvent. It comprehensively examines all conceivable aspects of international procedural and private law.

Published: September 2024

Witness testimony is a written or oral statement given by an individual who has experienced an incident. It is collected during criminal investigations (including through investigative interviews, facial composites and identity parades). However, inaccurate witness testimony (such as the incorrect identification of a suspect) can lead to innocent people being wrongfully convicted. Wrongfully accused or convicted individuals are at risk of discrimination, relationship damage and poor mental health. Wrongful convictions are also costly, with a miscarriage of justice costing up to £1 million in compensation, and cause reputational damage to the police and legal system. Furthermore, the real perpetrators are not caught and may continue to harm society by committing further crime.

Increasing technology also results in the rapid development of home security equipment, especially Closed-Circuit Television cameras (hereinafter mentioned as CCTV). The right to privacy, to which everyone is entitled to personal self- protection Doctrinal legal research is a crucial aspect in recognizing various societal problems. Doctrinal research combines a systematic analysis of the provisions of legislation and the legal principles contained in it or derived from it, but also the logical and rational order of legal propositions and principles. Doctrinal legal research methods involve the analysis of legal propositions or legal concepts on which the main study is based. Case base approach demands the researcher to understand the reasons that used by the judges or another adjudicator until it reaches the final decision. Most personal data protection laws around the world distinguish between regular personal data and biometric data. At the beginning, Article 4 paragraph (1) of EU GDPR regular personal data commonly define on the laws as a set of data that able to identify a natural person either from electronic or non-electronic devices. Under the data protection laws regime especially GDPR, UK Data Protection Law and Indonesia Data Protection Law, mitigation during a data protection failure involving household CCTV systems typically involves taking immediate steps to minimize the impact of the breach Furthermore, stated in the Fairhurst v Woodard case homeowner could be held liable for failure to protect the personal data if they use camera on the outside boundary of their house and they could face hefty fine and/or tools removal. Finally, this writing contributes to undergoing discourse on cyber law field especially in data protection law and provide insights for academician, practitioner, and society.
"Gimme Some Truth"
Authors: Berkowitz Adam Eric
Published: September 2024

For the past 70 years, researchers and experimental musicians have been working with computer-synthesized music, forming a collaborative relationship with generative artificial intelligences known as human–AI co-creation. The last several years have shown that musical artists are quickly adopting AI tools to produce music for AI music competitions and for commercial production of songs and albums. The United States Copyright Office, in response to this trend, has released its latest policy revisions to clearly define what is eligible for copyright registration. Soon after, the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) also released new guidelines, providing recommendations for how library catalogers should address AI-generated materials. In both cases, they reject the notion of considering AI as a contributor. The language in each of these policies, however, is self-contradicting, showing that they are ill equipped to address generative AI. This study leverages critical textual analysis and qualitative content analysis and uses case examples to probe the manner in which these policies regard generative AI. Recommendations are made for addressing shortcomings in the PCC’s policies, and moral philosophical frameworks such as virtue ethics and consequentialism support arguments for supplementing catalog item records with information from authoritative external sources, deviating from this policy for the sake of truth-seeking.
Surgical Treatment of Primary Mast Cell Tumor in Mucosal Surface of Lower Lip in a Dog: A Case Report
Authors: Sajadian Jaghargh Ensiye , Mirshahi Ali , Shaterzadeh Yazdi Hanieh
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Mast cell tumors (MCTs) have been described as a form of cancer affecting a specific type of blood cell that typically plays a role in the body's reaction to allergens and inflammatory processes. The MCTs have been classified as skin tumors in dogs which can also affect other areas of the body, such as the spleen, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and bone marrow. The present study investigated the clinical and histological signs, biological behavior, and treatment of primary oral mast cell tumors.
Case report: A 3-year-old neutered female, weighing 18 kg and classified as a medium mixed breed, was referred to a veterinary clinic in Mashhad (Iran) due to the presence of a pink, lobulated mucosal mass located on the internal surface of her lower lip. Although the vital signs were normal, clinical examination, radiology, and an incisional biopsy were performed from the lesion site under general anesthesia for histology study. Histopathological features were similar to those of mastocytoma in this case. On presentation, no concurrent mass was found on other sides of the body. Mandibular lymph nodes were not enlarged; however, the incisor teeth of the mandible were loosed. Accordingly, the primary oral MCTs were diagnosed. The surgery was done and After a follow-up period of 150 days post-excisional surgery for a Mast cell tumor, the patient remained alive and exhibited no visible signs of tumor recurrence or surgical complications.
Conclusion: The current case report defined a primary Mast cell tumor with slow tumor growth and without metastasis in the mucosal surface of the lower lip in a dog treated by complete excisional surgery only, unlike some previous studies of primary oral MCTs in dogs with aggressive biological behaviors.

Published: September 2024

During COVID-19 pandemic, evidence showed lower immunity after infection and vaccination among immunocompromised individuals. In July 2022, a prophylaxis campaign using long-acting antibodies (LAAB), tixagevimab-cilgavimab was launched in Thailand to decrease hospitalizations among high-risk groups. To evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of LAAB for high-risk populations, a 6-month retro-prospective cohort study was conducted starting in March 2023. We included 1,249 participants aged ≥18 years with high-risk conditions who tested negative for COVID-19 using antigen test kits during the campaign in Thailand’s central, northern, and northeastern regions. Participants provided blood samples for anti-S and anti-N IgG testing and were monitored weekly by phone for six months for acute respiratory symptoms and were screened if COVID-19 was suspected. Positive cases were further tested with RT-PCR and sequencing. We matched 600 individuals who received the study drug tixagevimab-cilgavimab (exposed) by age and comorbidities to 600 individuals who did not receive the drug (non-exposed). Predominant strain was the omicron sublineage XBB. One participant who did not receive the drug was hospitalized without respiratory failure. Anti-N IgG was positive and high levels of anti-S IgG were observed. The effectiveness of tixagevimab-cilgavimab in preventing COVID-19 infections or hospitalizations among high-risk groups was not seen. Existing immunity from previous infections and vaccinations likely influenced these results. No serious adverse events related to the drug were reported. Despite these findings, there is a potential prophylactic role of LAAB for immunocompromised groups in the early phase of a pandemic while effective vaccines and treatments are unavailable.

Published: September 2024

The unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed that forecasting capability is critically needed in making strategic decisions and formulating reasonable countermeasures. This study aimed to assess the predictive accuracy in forecasting the numbers of COVID-19 cases using Thailand’s national COVID-19 surveillance database from January 2020– June 2021 based on three analytical models: a susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovery compartmental model, an auto-regressive integrated moving average model, and a long short-term memory (LSTM) network model. All forecasting methods had model parameters adjusted weekly according to the most recent situation and predictive accuracy measures, including the mean absolute percent error (MAPE). We found that the MAPE values ranged from 19.65%–22.54%, 28.95%–32.35%, 47.78%–53.55%, and 75.03–84.91% for forecasting one, two, four, and eight weeks ahead, respectively. Among the three models, the LSTM model had slightly higher accuracy than the other two models within the same forecasting range. These prediction models can be used for short-range forecasts in other similar settings while long-range forecasting requires monitoring and updating periodically.

Historical tourism in Indonesia, especially destinations such as Borobudur Temple, Prambanan, and Ratu Boko Palace, has great potential to attract both domestic and international tourists. However, negative reviews that come from user-generated content in the form of testimonials are often a factor that can affect the interest of tourist visits. This study aims to analyze the impact of negative reviews on interest in tourist visits to these historical destinations. This study aims to eval_uate the extent to which negative reviews affect interest in tourist visits to three main cultural destinations in Indonesia: Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple, and Ratu Boko Palace. This study uses a descriptive quantitative method by collecting data through a survey of 58 respondents who have visited the three destinations. The data was processed using SPSS software to test the validity, reliability, and influence of negative reviews on the interest of tourist visits. The results of the analysis showed that negative reviews did not significantly affect the interest of tourists visiting Borobudur Temple, Prambanan, and Ratu Boko Palace. All three destinations remain the top choice for tourists, despite the negative reviews, mainly due to their strong historical reputation and visual appeal. This study concludes that negative reviews do not have a significant influence on the interest in tourist visits to the historical destinations of Borobudur, Prambanan, and Ratu Boko Palace. Therefore, destination managers are advised to continue to pay attention to negative reviews as eval_uation material but do not need to worry too much about the impact on tourist visits.

El objetivo de este estudio es caracterizar y diseñar un sistema de tratamiento para las aguas residuales generadas en una planta procesadora de lácteos, ubicada en la provincia de Pastaza, en la parroquia Fátima. La planta produce una gran cantidad de aguas residuales, las cuales se descargan sin tratamiento, causando un impacto ambiental significativo en los cuerpos de agua dulce cercanos. Mediante la caracterización fisicoquímica y microbiológica de las aguas residuales, se propuso un sistema de tratamiento que incluye procesos de sedimentación, coagulación-floculación, y filtración.
Inicialmente, se midió el caudal durante siete días, obteniendo un promedio de 2.052 m³/h. Posteriormente, se realizó una caracterización de las aguas residuales mediante la toma de muestras de 1,25 L cada hora durante 8 horas, con el objetivo de obtener una muestra compuesta. Los análisis físicos, químicos y microbiológicos revelaron que los parámetros de demanda bioquímica de oxígeno (DBO), demanda química de oxígeno (DQO), aceites y grasas, nitrógeno total, sólidos totales y sólidos suspendidos superaban los límites permisibles establecidos, con valores de 1874 mg/L, 3300 mg/L, 295.43 mg/L, 171.4 mg/L, 2568 mg/L y 606 mg/L, respectivamente.
