Spectrally-Dispersed Kernel Phase Interferometry with SCExAO/CHARIS: Proof of Concept and Calibration Strategies
Authors: Chaushev Alexander
Published: June 2023

Discovering new actively-accreting protoplanets is crucial to answering open questions about planet formation. However, identifying such planets on true Solar System scales is technically challenging. The large distances to star-forming regions require moderate contrast at high angular resolutions which is difficult to achieve even with today's largest telescopes and extreme adaptive optics (AO) systems. Novel approaches are needed to process AO-corrected data to reach these planets.
Kernel phase interferometry (KPI) is a data processing technique that allows for the detection of asymmetries arising from companions or disks in high-Strehl AO-corrected images, close to or beyond the classical diffraction limit of the telescope. KPI allows us to access a region of parameter space interior to current direct imaging studies using coronagraphy, where planet formation is thought to be more efficient.
Here I will present results from a program which validates the use of KPI with the SCExAO/CHARIS instrument on the Subaru telescope. As well as demonstrating KPI and characterising SCExAO/CHARIS for future observations with the technique, I will also present a search for signs of Br-gamma accretion around multiple young stars with candidate protoplanets.
A Study on the Diagnostic Effect of Social Media on Libyan EFL University Students Writing Skills in General and Day-to-day Written Communication Specifically
Authors: Almushwat Ruya Faisal , Sabkha Sarab Assem
Published: June 2023

The present study aims to scrutinise the diagnostic effect of social media on Libyan EFL University Students Writing skills in General and day-to-day Written Communication specifically. As social media is a growing phenomenon that contributes to language change and the way we use it, the effects this language change has on EFL students is of particular interest. This research covers Facebook and Instagram, as it also employs a quantitative method with an online questionnaire as its research instrumentation to collect the data. The questionnaire was distributed online through Google forms using a closed-ended questionnaire. The findings indicated that Libyan EFL University Students believe that social media has a positive effect on their language. It was also found that writing is the most affected and improved skill when using social media for learning the English language. Results also indicated that social media helps learners acquire and practise new vocabulary and decrease spelling errors. The researchers recommended more research to assess the influence of other social media platforms on EFL learners, such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Furthermore, further research into the impact of social media on each skill independently is also advised.
“Where are you going?”: Investigating Spatiality from a Translocal Perspective in Forrest Gander’s Core Samples from the World
Authors: Sudesna Som
Published: June 2023

Abstract

An illustrious poet, editor and translator Forrest Gander probes into the conditions of modern human existence with a remarkable sensitivity towards the contemporary environmental challenges. The finalist for Pulitzer Prize 2012, Gander’s Core Samples from the World (2011) recounts his experience of distant, exotic places like China, Mexico, and Bosnia-Herzegovina from the perspective of an ecopoet writing in the Anthropocene. Composed from the objective viewpoint of a traveller the book exploits the Japanese Haibun form to juxtapose poetry, essays and photographs taken by his collaborators— Raymond Meeks, Graciela Iturbide and Lucas Foglia. Together the detached prose pieces, the disorienting poetry and the evocative photographs shed light on the severity of current ecological crisis and raise critical questions regarding one’s ecological self and identity. The present study aims to explore how Gander’s singular conception of space simultaneously instigates the readers to open dialogue regarding such pivotal questions and plays a seminal role in the evolution of his ecopoetic vision. This paper further aspires to analyse the ways in which Gander exploits his inclusive spatial engagement as a traveller to portray the world as a shared, connected space permanently altered by the reckless exploitation of nature and natural resources. It also intends to enquire the subsequent deterioration of the bond between human beings and their surroundings which ultimately results in a sense of fragmentation along with a loss of identity. The present study also scrutinizes how Gander’s unconventional imagination and delineation of translocal space which is essentially an open-ended, mobile and multilateral concept rather than a static geographical locale influence his engagement with contemporary environmental issues on various levels.
Counter-Narrative as a Powerful Narrative Technique for the Voice of the Voiceless in The Palace of Illusions
Authors: Dr. Ancy Elezabath John
Published: June 2023

India is a land of myth and legends. Indian epics are archives of our history and precedent culture which depicts what happened in the times of yore. They tell us about the events and developments that shaped our culture. Epics dole out as a testimony of our culture. Many Indian writers craft their plot from epics of Hindu mythology which is used as a literary device. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni uses Hindu mythology in her works broadly to instill audacity in her woman protagonists. She tries to demonstrate how myths steer women to surmount their conflicts in life. Her novels explicate how myths instruct humanity to lead a virtuous life. Draupadi, the heroine of The Mahabharata is presented through a fictional perspective in Divakaruni’s novel The Palace of Illusions, (2008). It is a retelling of The Mahabharata, from the perspective of Draupadi.  She breaks the stereotype of a conventional heroine in Indian literature. Counter-narration is a method of telling the stories of those people whose experiences are not often misrepresented or untold. It is also a tool for uncovering, examining, and stimulating mainstream historical texts. The author uses counter-narrative techniques in the novel to counter the position of women in The Mahabharata era addressing the prejudice, difficulties, and the male dominance that they had experienced. A descriptive analysis enumerates upon the author’s use of the counter-narrative technique in the novel through a detailed description of plot, settings, and characterization. Divakaruni midst of suffering has overcome the predicaments she faced challenging the old age convention that women must accept tradition and society without questioning. Draupadi could endeavour the subversion where most women would have given up. Narrative technique is the art of narrating a story in a literary work by using various techniques. The narrative technique is vastly an aesthetic enterprise. The feature of the narrative includes characters with clear personalities or identities and integrated dialogues. Through Draupadi’s life author dispels outdated notions about what it means to be a woman. The author explores the ancient and personal experiences of Draupadi, as distinct from the original Mahabharata. Draupadi ends up being the most nuanced and divisive female character in Hindu literature. Draupadi is an archetypal representation of the pain and humiliation a woman experiences in a patriarchal society.  The lives of women have not changed over time, whether it is the ancient or the modern era. There are still challenges to overcome the situations that call for specific actions. The novel The Palace of Illusions demonstrates the hardships a princess-born woman had to endure.
William Shakespeare’s Macbeth in Adaptation: A Cultural Materialist Reading of Bollywood Movie Maqbool
Authors: Satyam Kumar
Published: June 2023

The present research article focuses on Bollywood movie Maqbool (2004), the Hindi language movie adaptation of Shakespeare’s famous play Macbeth (1606). Shakespeare’s plays have become available in the cinematic adaptations in many different languages across the globe. All these adaptations focus on different aspects of the original texts, and come up with some entirely new movies which at times have the Shakespearean elements in them. The plots, settings and the timelines are of course different, but they make Shakespeare’s dramas available to a wider audience across different cultures. Maqbool is such a movie adaptation in Hindi, directed by Indian film-director, Vishal Bhardwaj. The movie relates to the incidents and events from Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, though it has entirely new flavours of its own as a typical Bollywood movie. Like Shakespeare’s plays, these movies also have something to offer to the critics. A close analysis of such adaptations, in relation to the original textual creations, can bring forth many new critical perspectives. This article aims at analysing the movie, Maqbool from the perspective of cultural materialism where it tries to bring out that how the movie interrelates with the contemporary social and political situations of the time which it depicts. There are certain hidden structures in the movie which remain unearthed when watched without critical eyes. The paper attempts a cultural materialist reading of Maqbool to bring out such hidden aspects of the movie.
Haruki Murakami’s Spellbinding Embodiments: Decoding the Feline Mystique
Authors: Shafqat Mushtaq  , Dr. Usha Jain
Published: June 2023

Being a vital spark in Japanese culture, cats made their way through Japanese Literature and became an imperative potion in the writings where they were often associated with mystery and incongruity owing to the rich symbolism and imagery. Murakami’s writing is sequestered with cats that add an exorbitant richness to his works. They possess an eccentric demeanor and play a vital role in his fiction, from their disappearance to the violence imposed on them, they open new pathways to enter the parallel worlds and allow the characters to enter the quest which ultimately leads them to search for their own identity. The present research work analyzes the representation of these cats in his three major novels of Haruki Murakami— The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Kafka on the Shore, and Wild Sheep Chase to show how these cats are used as a medium to enter a parallel world and how they help characters in confronting their darkest fears in order to make them aware of their own existence. Murakami is a prolific Japanese author, known for his surreal, introspective works blending fantasy, reality, and metaphysical themes. His novels, such as Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the Shore, and 1Q84, captivate readers with their poetic prose, symbolism, and enigmatic characters. These cats provide tenderness and warmth to the characters at their lowest and enables them to apprehend a sort of meaning to the relationships they possess. Due to their spellbinding eloquence, they prove to be therapeutic for the characters, aids them in attaining a subjective self and provide them solace in their darkest hours.
From Proscenium to Public: Explorations of Body and Space in Sircar’s Third Theatre
Authors: Amitabh Kumar  , Dr. Vivek Kumar Dwivedi
Published: June 2023

The name of Badal Sircar, the Bengali playwright, actor and theatre activist, holds a very prestigious position in the history of modern Indian theatre. Both in the field of the Indian mainstream proscenium theatre and in that of the Alternative/Street theatre, he has made significant contribution to the Indian drama. In the post-independence period, when Indian theatre world was caught in the debate of “modern” and “Indian”, he established a brand-new genre of theatre called “Third Theatre”. Third Theatre provided a potent resolution to the inherent dichotomy in modern Indian drama by skillfully reconciling indigenous theatrical tools and techniques with the Western proscenium tradition of a text-based, plot-driven idea of theatre. Sircar’s style is thus a hybrid of folk theatre and proscenium theatre. This was a creative attempt to create an alternate media to effectively spread the playwright's views among the populace. With all these innovative ideas, philosophies and techniques, Sircar’s primary purpose was to bridge the gap between the drama and the audience, between the rural and the urban, between the form and the content etc., and to attain to the ideals of liveness and direct communication in theatrical experience. This effort aids him in breaking sharply with the modern Bengali theatre, which is fixated on the manner of presentation used in the English Victorian drama, and elevating it to a hitherto unattainable level of artistry. The present paper seeks to explore how Badal Sircar experimented with the body of the actor and with the performance space in order to create a syncretic form of theatre accessible equally to the rural and urban.
The Dual Legacy: Mahasweta Devi as a Reformer and Revolutionary
Authors: Alka  , Prof. Sanjay Kumar Misra
Published: June 2023

This article presents an in-depth exploration of Mahasweta Devi’s multifaceted persona— a celebrated author, social activist, and a prominent figure in the realm of socio-political reforms in India. She is known for her rich literary contributions. Her works primarily emphasized the plight and the struggles of the marginalized sections of the society, often acting as a bridge between them and the wider world. For Mahasweta Devi the creation of literature is a solemn and responsible vocation. She uses her art as a weapon to fight against the socio-economic injustice meted out to the marginalized in Indian society. Literature is intrinsic to her advocacy for social justice, establishing Devi as a thoughtful, committed reformer and revolutionary. Her writings are imbued with calls for change and revolution, exhibiting her profound abilities as a writer equipped with a reformist vision and revolutionary determination. Devi is not merely a writer, but a crusader with a mission— a social commitment to the upliftment of tribal communities. Her narratives hold significant social relevance, pushing the contours of contemporary Indian literature with their often radical and provocative themes. Yet, Devi’s influence transcends her literary contributions, reflecting her intense passion as a reformer and revolutionary. Her untiring activism targeted the systemic oppressions entrenched in the Indian society, particularly towards tribals and Dalits. She exposed the blatant violation of human rights, often confronting the authorities, embodying the spirit of a revolutionary. Drawing a trajectory of her influence, the article suggests that Devi’s radicalism, uncompromising in its advocacy for the dispossessed, established her as a reformer, pushing for change at both grassroots and policy levels. Her relentless pursuit for social justice and equality, while shedding light on how her literary works served as tools of resistance and activism. Drawing upon various examples from her seminal works like Draupadi, Rudali, and Mother of 1084, it unravels how her narratives portrayed the unvarnished reality of the oppressed, compelling her readers to confront uncomfortable truths. The article also examines her influence on various contemporary movements and how her ideologies continue to inspire activists and reformers today. It highlights the life and works of Mahasweta Devi, not only as a celebrated author, but also as a fearless reformer and revolutionary activist whose enduring legacy continues to inspire generations of activists and writers in their fight against social injustices.
The Intersection of Traditional Wisdom and Modern Education: Unpacking the Potential of Folk Pedagogy in the Context of India’s National Education Policy 2020
Authors: Ashutosh K Prabhakar
Published: June 2023

This article explores the critical interface of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the potential of folk pedagogy in enhancing India’s educational landscape. The NEP 2020, with its emphasis on local, indigenous knowledge systems and a transformative vision for India’s education system, provides an unprecedented opportunity for mainstreaming folk pedagogy into contemporary teaching-learning practices. Approved by the Union Cabinet in 2020 National Education Policy ushered in avant-garde reforms to the education policy of India. Folk pedagogy, a term used to describe traditional modes of education practiced by various indigenous and local communities, carries immense value in terms of cultural preservation, community engagement, and learner-centric methodologies. It promotes experiential learning, critical thinking, and creativity by organically integrating local culture, resources, and traditional wisdom into education. Its salient features and key recommendations exceptionally call for flexibility, multi-disciplinarity, critical thinking and ethical values, multilingualism and the three-language formula. An exceptional emphasis on the power of language and the inclusion of mother/regional under the larger context of Indian ethos has been witnessed for the time.  NEP 2020 with such emphasis ushers a pedagogical paradigm shift that seeks to reestablish lost Indian pedagogical heritages and their folk orientation, where education is experiential, diverse, holistic, creative, critical, multidisciplinary and multilingual. By intertwining the principles of NEP 2020 with the rich, culturally diverse practices of folk pedagogy, the article envisages a dynamic, inclusive, and effective education system. It underscores the significant role folk pedagogy can play in achieving NEP’s objectives of creating an equitable and vibrant knowledge society by leveraging local knowledge systems and fostering a deep sense of respect towards the rich cultural heritage of India. The article critically reviews the extent to which NEP 2020 allows for the incorporation of folk pedagogy in its framework, and analyzes how this can be made more effective. It addresses challenges and potential strategies for incorporating folk pedagogy into the mainstream educational practices and curriculum development. The article argues for an extensive dialogue and collaboration among educators, policymakers, and community stakeholders to facilitate this integration, ultimately nurturing a pedagogical system that is grounded in the culture, context, and aspirations of learners. This strategic amalgamation could empower India’s education system to meet the future challenges of the rapidly evolving global knowledge economy, while staying true to its unique cultural roots.
Prone position in pregnant woman with major burns with severe ARDS on mechanical ventilation
Authors: Franck Claudio Luciano
Published: June 2023

Burns are skin lesions determined by the thermal energy of heat transfer with cellular protein denaturation. Although infrequent during pregnancy, they can be fatal for both the mother and fetus. The outcome depends on factors related to the burns themselves, such as depth and percentage of body surface burned. Burns that affect more than 20% of the body surface can cause systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with high rates of fetal death and asphyxia. In ARDS, the prone position has been used for over 40 years to promote homogenization of stress distribution and pulmonary strain with improved ventilation/perfusion. However, pregnancy and major burns may constitute relative contraindications related to the prone position due to abdominal and pelvic compression, difficulty in monitoring fetal heartbeats and complications in face and belly burns. The set of contraindications associated with the need for the prone position guided the objective of this case report, which aimed to describe and review the literature to discuss the clinical case, as well as demonstrate the favorable results of gas exchange and ventilatory mechanics in relation to the prone position in pregnant woman with major burns without complications.
POUVOIRS PUBLICS ET L’ENCADREMENT DE COMMERCE DES BOIS DANS LA PROVINCE DE LA TSHOPO.
Authors: Yalobali Gustave
Published: June 2023

Les pouvoirs publics ont la mission d’encadrer le commerce, en général, et commerce des bois, en particulier, non seulement pour rentabiliser ce secteur en le sortant dans l’informel, mais également pour sécuriser les commerçants dans l’exercice de leurs fonctions. Dans la Province de la Tshopo, les pouvoirs publics assistent impuissamment à la montée du commerce informel des bois. Comme l’on peut observer, la plupart des gens qui exercent le commerce des bois se livrent au commerce illicite et illégal des bois comme si ce secteur de la vie nationale n’est pas réglementé. Ce paradoxe démontre l’inefficacité d’encadrement de commerce de bois dans cette province. Cet article démontre que l’insuffisance des moyens de transport, le manque d’équipements des inspecteurs et contrôleurs, l’irrégularité de la paie des agents, la complicité de certains agents de l’Etat, le manque de contrôle rigoureux, l’impunité des récalcitrants, sont autant de causes de l’inefficacité d’encadrement de commerce des bois par les pouvoirs publics dans ladite province. Tandis que la faible mobilisation des recettes, la dégradation de l’écosystème forestier, la violation des textes juridiques, la disparition de certaines espèces de bois rares sont les conséquences qui en découlent.

Published: June 2023

Removable dentures  are a treatment option for replacing missing teeth. Use digital technologies in manufacturing of removable dental prosthesis is recent with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM). Additive or subtractive methods can be used for the fabrication of removable dentures. This review includes articles from the last 5 years on the use of CAD-CAM for manufacture of removable prostheses. The most frequent failures of the conventional system in the manufacture of removable dental prosthesis should avoid with digital workflow in clinical procedures, fabrication methods and materials used. Intraoral scans for removable dentures have been a lack of accuracy and difficulties in capturing soft tissues because. Manufacturing of removable dental prostheses with CAD-CAM has proven properties clinically acceptable, with milled, three-dimensional printer or laser‐sintered methods. CAD-CAM-milled and rapid-prototyped of removable denture are similar in terms of biocompatibility and surface roughness. This technology allows exploring the use of new materials such as polyetheretherketone for manufacture of frameworks for removable prostheses. Digital scanning, three-dimensional printing or milled method is more efficient and more comfortable, allowing advantages in terms of time and cost of prosthesis with predictable results. New studies are needed to show the benefits of CAD-CAM technology in removable dental prosthesis.
An Atypical Cutaneous and Histopathological Manifestation of Secondary Syphilis in an HIV-Positive Male: A Case Report
Authors: Kolansky Glenn
Published: June 2023

We present an atypical case of secondary syphilis concomitant with condyloma lata in an HIV-positive male. The patient presented with lesions on his lateral neck, soles, and palms. Spirochetes were examined on the biopsy of the palm, consistent with secondary syphilis, but not on the biopsy from the neck. The lesion on the neck was diagnosed as an evolving secondary syphilis lesion due to the extent of the lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, presence of acanthosis and epidermal hyperplasia, the accompanying diagnosis of secondary syphilis on the palm, the patient’s history of HIV, and the related diagnosis of condyloma lata on the dorsal shaft of the penis. Following this diagnosis, the patient was referred to an infectious disease specialist who treated him with a single intramuscular injection of 2.4 million units of benzathine penicillin, per CDC guidelines. This case highlights the importance of clinicians taking into consideration a variety of factors when diagnosing and treating cutaneous disorders with a broad-spectrum differential diagnosis, particularly in at-risk individuals.
Career Development and Progression for Emergency Physicians Training: From Apprenticeship to “ClinicianPlus”
Authors: Lateef Fatimah
Published: June 2023

Apprenticeship has always been the model of nurturing younger clinicians and medical students with “on the job” training. This period of experiential learning, astute observations and instructions are valuable in helping the growth and development of the next generation of professionals. The apprenticeship model is applicable across many disciplines of Medicine, including Emergency Medicine. This is also the model in use in the development of “Clinicians First; Clinicians Plus” program. Emergency physicians must be good, astute clinicians first. Then, based on their inclination, interest and talent, they have the option to select training tracks such as The Clinician-Educator, The Clinician-Scientist, The ClinicianInnovator or The Clinician-Entrepreneur tracks. These are just a few examples of the specialized training available. Each of the track will have a structured curriculum and training guidelines to ensure the necessary exposure, knowledge and information acquisition, immersive experiential learning with appropriate, dedicated mentors. For senior residents in Emergency Medicine, their growth in these different areas can be monitored using established frameworks. Commencing this immersion earlier, at the medical student level, is also possible. This is what is being done at Duke NUS Graduate Medical School. This unique approach helps prepare students not just to practice Medicine, but also, how to improve patients’ lives and make a difference, whilst at the same be allowed to pursue and develop in an area they find exciting and stimulating. Not only that, but their contributions, innovations, research and educational prowess will help shape the future of Emergency Medicine and how it is practiced.

Low body condition cattle (7.1%) had higher infection rates than medium (5.0%) and high (1.2%) scores. Conclusion. Bovine babesiosis was prevalent in the study area and poses a significant threat to cattle production overall.
Reflections on some learning from the Covid-19 pandemic:
Authors: Macpherson Catriona
Published: June 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the significance of pre-bereavement care for families and children, especially when faced with parental death. Holistic family care tailored to meet the needs of the particular crisis the family face is hugely challenging for practitioners to provide whilst also caring for patients. Parents need specific support which is appropriate to their children’s needs for information, expressing their opinions and sharing their emotional responses about what they are facing. Parental bereavement has wide reaching consequences for children’s’ lives and we know that the ability of the surviving parent to support them is crucial. Starting to support parents before death provides the opportunity to ensure children are included in ways that are appropriate for that family. If we agree that children have rights and that pre-bereavement support is a core health need, then we must find ways of providing it. A discrete service to provide this specialised support across all areas of care is needed.

Qath'i and zhanni in Usul fiqh are used to explain the source texts of Islamic law, be it al-Qur'an and hadith in two respects, namely al-tsubut (existence) or al-wurud (the arrival of the source truth) and al-dalalah (interpretation). In the context of qath'i and zhanny al-wurud, the scholars agree that the Qur'an and the mutawatir hadith are qath'i. However, they differ in terms of qath'i and zhanny from the side of al-dalalah. Ushul fiqh scholars state that if a religious text contains only one clear meaning and cannot open up the possibility of other interpretations, and mentions certain numbers, then the text is considered a qath'i text from the side of al-dalalah. Meanwhile, contemporary scholars argue that the concept of qath'i and zhanni al-dalalah, both the Qur'an and Hadith, cannot be seen from the clarity of the meaning of the pronunciation but also the desired essence of the pronunciation. Intellect is a thinking tool contained in humans, human reason is different from other creatures because reason is only given to humans and is not given to other creatures. This difference makes humans superior and smarter in managing their lives. Therefore, humans with clear intelligence will find God as the end result of real life.

Hibiscus sabdarrifa are cultivated and consumed as tea, whereas other hibiscus varieties are planted for the fibers they produce. Hibiscus sabdariffa known as roselle, is one of the underexploited food crops with nutritional and food industry processing potential. Thus, this study was undertaken to determine the effects of different drying methods (sun, solar and oven drying) and drying kinetics on the proximate composition of dried calyx (Proximate and Mineral composition) using AOAC Standard. The data obtained from this study was statistically analyzed using Tukey HSD (Tukey Honest Significant Difference). The values of the model constant and other Statistical parameters for moisture ratio were obtained. The two-term exponential model had the highest R2 and the lowest x2 and RMSE value. The model constants, the R2, x2 and RMSE for each model were obtained. The page model had the highest R2 and lowest x2 and RMSE and was selected as the best fit model for describing the drying kinetics zobo calyces in an oven dryer while Logarithmic model and Wang and Sing Model was selected for modeling of zobo calyces in sun and solar dryer respectively. The experimental and predicted moisture ratio values are very close to the each other given the R2 value and the straight-line graph when the predicted moisture ratio is plotted against the experimental moisture ratio. Sample dried with oven dryer gave the highest carotenoid and vitamin C content compared to other drying methods. Therefore, oven dryer is recommended for drying of zobo calyces as compared to sun and solar dryer.

Estudo quantitativo e transversal com o objetivo de avaliar os fatores que influenciam os níveis de estresse percebido em idosos, por meio da Escala de Estresse Percebido. Observou-se que 30% dos participantes obtiveram escores superiores ao percentil 75 e as médias de scores mais elevadas foram entre os idosos do sexo feminino, analfabetos, com estado civil não definido, do lar, sem renda familiar definida, que não realizam atividade física e de lazer. Houve diferença significativa relacionada ao sexo e a prática de lazer. Esses achados sugerem que intervenções para o controle do estresse percebido em idosos, possam contribuir para a redução dos possíveis desdobramentos negativos que o estresse possa provocar na saúde dessa população.

A vida é um bem jurídico que goza de ampla proteção no ordenamento jurídico pátrio. Neste sentido, a punição para aquele que a viola deve ser rígida, não afastando, porém, a possibilidade de ampla defesa por parte do acusado. No caso dos crimes dolosos contra a vida, de competência do tribunal do júri, fala-se em plenitude de defesa. Podendo a parte acusada valer-se uma série de artifícios para a consecução de seus objetivos. Neste sentido, buscou-se no presente artigo investigar se a atuação eloquente do orador tem o condão de influenciar a decisão dos jurados. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com enfoque qualitativo. Como conclusão observou-se que, embora o tribunal do júri apresente falhas quanto à consonância das decisões com a legislação vigente, tais dissonâncias também estão sujeitos a ocorrerem nas decisões dos juízes togados. Quanto à influência dos discursos esses devem ser analisados em conjunto com outros aspectos que envolvem os jurados.

Abstract. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to improving lung cancer patients’ quality of life and survival rate. This study aimed to investigate the value of dynamic enhanced scanning examination by computed tomography (CT) in early lung cancer diagnosis. One hundred and twenty patients with isolated lung nodules were selected to analyze this diagnostic method, using pathological diagnostic results of cancer as the gold standard. Of the 120 pa-tients with isolated pulmonary nodules, the diagnosis was confirmed by patho-logical examination in 96 patients with early lung cancer (adenocarcinoma of the lung) and 24 patients with benign lung lesions. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of CT dynamic enhancement scans for the diagnosis of early-stage lung cancer were 93.75%, 83.33%, 91.67%, 95.74%, and 76.92%, respectively. Early-stage lung cancer had significantly less blood volume and a noticeably shorter mean time to passage than benign lung lesions (p<0.01). Blood flow and surface permeability were higher in early-stage lung cancer than in benign lung lesions (p<0.05). The ar-eas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for blood volume, blood flow, surface permeability, and mean time to passage for the diagnosis of early-stage lung cancer were 0.737, 0.724, 0.779, and 0.946, respectively. In conclusion, CT dynamic enhancement scan has good application value in diag-nosing early lung cancer and is worth promoting in clinical practice.
