O REGISTRO EXTRAJUDICIAL DE PARENTALIDADE POR CASAIS HOMOAFETIVOS DIANTE DA REPRODUÇÃO CASEIRA
Authors: HARMATIUK MATOS ANA CARLA , CORRÊA KARINE
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo visa refletir acerca da (des)necessidade de judicialização do registro de parentalidade por casais homoafetivos, com recorte específico no que diz respeito às mulheres lésbicas e bissexuais, casadas ou em união estável, que planejaram ter filhos conjuntamente. Isso porque nosso ordenamento jurídico preconiza a autonomia reprodutiva e o livre planejamento familiar. Entender essa problemática é fundamental para que, diante do julgamento da ADI 4722/ADPF 132, que reconheceu como entidade familiar a união estável entre pessoas do mesmo gênero, exercite-se plenamente a igualdade entre casais heterossexuais e homoafetivos, por meio do livre planejamento familiar, sem que seu direito à privacidade seja violado. Objetiva-se analisar os requisitos para a presunção dos filhos nascidos na constância do casamento ou da união estável, da parentalidade responsável e do livre planejamento familiar, dispostos tanto na Constituição Federal quanto no Código Civil. A metodologia utilizada foi a hipotético-dedutiva, partindo-se do pressuposto de que a presunção de paternidade, disposta no art. 1.597, V, do Código Civil, não inclui casais formados por mulheres que optam pela reprodução caseira, deixando de observar o princípio da igualdade e do livre planejamento familiar, contemplado na Constituição Federal de 1988, e da metodologia civil-constitucional, hermenêutica que visa à tutela da pessoa humana, sem qualquer distinção apriorística. Conclui-se, a partir da análise da legislação, que o princípio da igualdade substancial não é aplicado diante das diferenças, principalmente no que diz respeito aos casais formados por pessoas do mesmo gênero, em especial, às mulheres.

Published: September 2024

Wetlands play an important ecological function of sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide and thereby moderating adverse impacts of climate change. It is therefore important to understand the dynamics of carbon stocks in wetland vegetation and soils. This study investigated the spatio-temporal dynamics of aboveground, belowground, and total carbon stocks in Kanyabaha Wetland, located in Rukiga District, Uganda, spanning from 1990 to 2021. Through field sampling and laboratory analysis, aboveground carbon stocks were assessed by harvesting vegetation biomass and converting it to carbon stock using established conversion factors. Soil samples collected at different depths (0-20cm, 20-50cm, 50-100cm) were analyzed for soil organic carbon content to determine belowground carbon stocks. The study reveals variable spatio-temporal patterns of carbon stocks across land use types, with papyrus-dominated areas exhibiting the highest aboveground carbon stocks (49.66 tC/ha), followed by small-scale farmlands (33.73 tC/ha) and tree plantations (23.01 tC/ha). Conversely, built-up areas exhibit the lowest carbon stocks (1.29 tC/ha). Temporal analysis reveals fluctuating patterns in carbon stocks, with increases observed in built-up areas and small-scale farmlands, and decreases in grasslands and tree plantations that could be due to changes in hydrological cycle. Belowground carbon stocks follow similar trends, with papyrus areas maintaining the highest stocks (39.96 tC/ha), particularly at deeper soil depths that exhibit the highest carbon accumulation due to its extensive network of papyrus rhizome. Changes in land use, especially reclamation of the wetlands for farming and settlements affected carbon capture and storage in the wetland ecosystem. These findings highlight the importance of targeted conservation of natural wetlands and sustainable land management strategies in the Kanyabaha Wetland catchment for enhanced carbon sequestration. Further, in depth studies in the variability of carbon stocks due to various eco-climatic factors and anthropogenic activities are necessary to support sustainable wetland land management practices in Uganda.

Published: September 2024

This paper shares the results from a big bird survey at Nanjarayan Lake in Tamil Nadu. It ran from 2022 to 2024. To check out the bird variety, see how it changes with the seasons and look at how well different bird species are doing there. Over three years, we did lots of field surveys during different times of the year. We used methods like point counts, transect walks, and habitat checks. In total, we found 184 bird species resident birds that live there all year and migrating ones that visit. We even spotted some species that need special attention. This shows how important the lake is for both local birds and those just flying between. When we looked closely at the numbers through the seasons, we found some big changes in how many birds there were. Winter was especially busy, with a lot of different kinds showing up and the migratory birds arriving. The study also identified key threats to avian biodiversity in the lake, such as habitat degradation, water pollution, and human disturbances. Based on these findings, the study recommends urgent conservation measures, including habitat restoration, pollution control, and the implementation of strict regulations to minimize human impact. This survey underscores the importance of Nanjarayan Lake as a vital bird habitat and calls for enhanced conservation efforts to protect its rich avian diversity. The findings provide valuable baseline data for future ecological studies and contribute to the broader understanding of lake ecosystems in Tamil Nadu.

Modelling beach volume changes caused by moderate and weak hydrodynamic conditions
Authors: Bugajny Natalia
Published: September 2024

The goals of this study were the calibration of the XBeach model for moderate and weak hydrodynamic conditions in 2D mode and the determination of the volumetric changes induced by them. An evaluation of model performance was made based on the Brier Skill Score (BSS), the visual match of the profile shape (VMS), the absolute volumetric change error (m3/m) and the relative volumetric change error (%). An analysis of accuracy in determining volumetric changes in the dune coast, with XBeach applied, provided an average absolute error in determination of volumetric changes of 4.0 m3/m for a significant storm and 1.5 m3/m for moderate and weak hydrodynamic conditions in a 2D model calibration process. Simulations of morphological changes caused by moderate and weak hydrodynamic conditions for seven timeframes classified into three groups have been run in 2D mode. Within a validation process, the average absolute error in the determination of volumetric changes in the beach was ranging from 0.64 m3/m to 2.42 m3/m depending on the group of hydrodynamic conditions. A high value of the correlation coefficient (R) between the measured and modelled balance of volumetric changes (m3/m) for all timeframes – 0.79 and for the ‘strongest’ group no. 3 – 0.91 were revealed. For the remaining groups, i.e., group no. 1 and no. 2 of hydrodynamic conditions, no such correlation was observed. Furthermore, the temporal analysis of the sum of beach volumes proved that a rising trend was observed over 4 months. Thus, moderate and weak hydrodynamic conditions dominated the accumulation within the area of study. XBeach reflected this trend well, producing a difference between the measured and modelled sum of volumes at the end of the timeframe of 7.27 m3/m, which is close to the volume determination error by the model.

Published: September 2024

This study investigates the impact of board attributes on sustainability reporting among listed firms in Nigeria from 2013 to 2022, using a correlational research design. The research population encompasses all Nigerian listed firms, with a stratified sampling technique deemed appropriate for the study. Secondary data were sourced from the audited annual reports and accounts of sampled firms available on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) website. The analysis of the extracted panel data was conducted using multiple regression techniques with STATA version 13. The findings of the study reveal that board size, gender diversity, and independence positively influence sustainability reporting, while board commitment has a negative impact on sustainability reporting. Consequently, the study recommends that the management of Nigerian listed firms should view large and diverse boards as an asset for promoting sustainability reporting. Such boards, comprising experienced and knowledgeable members, are more likely to make effective decisions on sustainability-related issues. Additionally, the presence of women on boards should be considered a valuable factor in encouraging comprehensive financial reporting, which includes qualitative and quantitative information on the social, environmental, and economic activities of the business for stakeholders.
MEDIATING EFFECT OF INTERNAL AUDITORS’ ETHICAL CONDUCT ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN USAGE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, MANAGEMENT SUPPORT FOR INTERNAL AUDIT DEPARTMENT, AND INTERNAL AUDIT EFFECTIVENESS: A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Authors: Badamasi Nura , Ahmad Adura Binti
Published: September 2024

Low level of internal audit effectiveness is practically increasing in the Nigerian ministries, department, and agencies. In proffering solution to this lingering issue, this present study proposed a framework to examine the degree of effectiveness of internal audit functions in Kano state, Nigeria MDAs. The proposed framework is motivated by agency theory with the mediating effect of auditor’s ethical conduct. This present study extends the already extant body of knowledge in the area of internal audit effectiveness by expanding agency theory with the mediating effect of auditor’s ethical conduct. Also, this study has implication to support management, shareholders and other policy makers in addressing ineffectiveness and corrupt practices in the Nigerian MDAs. If this framework is authenticated, it would provide more evocative insight on the extends of internal audit effectiveness in Kano Nigerian MDAs, the legislators and government official would benefit greatly from this study if eventually concluded as it would assist MDAs to enhance internal audit effectiveness and curb corruption. In the subsequent studies the proposed framework will be empirically tested through data collection and analysis of relevant data.
Sacred Scents in Early Christianity and Islam
Authors: Thurlkill Mary
Published: September 2024

Medieval scholars and cultural historians have recently turned their attention to the question of “smells” and what olfactory sensations reveal about society in general and holiness in particular. Sacred Scents in Early Christianity and Islam contributes to that conversation, explaining how early Christians and Muslims linked the “sweet smell of sanctity” with ideals of the body and sexuality; created boundaries and sacred space; and imagined their emerging communal identity. Most importantly, scent—itself transgressive and difficult to control—signaled transition and transformation between categories of meaning.

Christian and Islamic authors distinguished their own fragrant ethical and theological ideals against the stench of oppositional heresy and moral depravity. Orthodox Christians ridiculed their ‘stinking’ Arian neighbors, and Muslims denounced the ‘reeking’ corruption of Umayyad and Abbasid decadence. Through the mouths of saints and prophets, patriarchal authors labeled perfumed women as existential threats to vulnerable men and consigned them to enclosed, private space for their protection as well as society’s. At the same time, theologians praised both men and women who purified and transformed their bodies into aromatic offerings to God. Both Christian and Muslim pilgrims venerated sainted men and women with perfumed offerings at tombstones; indeed, Christians and Muslims often worshipped together, honoring common heroes such as Abraham, Moses, and Jonah.

Sacred Scents begins by surveying aroma’s quotidian functions in Roman and pre-Islamic cultural milieus within homes, temples, poetry, kitchens, and medicines. Existing scholarship tends to frame ‘scent’ as something available only to the wealthy or elite; however, perfumes, spices, and incense wafted through the lives of most early Christians and Muslims. It ends by examining both traditions’ views of Paradise, identified as the archetypal Garden and source of all perfumes and sweet smells. Both Christian and Islamic texts explain Adam and Eve’s profound grief at losing access to these heavenly aromas and celebrate God’s mercy in allowing earthly remembrances. Sacred scent thus prompts humanity’s grief for what was lost and the yearning for paradisiacal transformation still to come.
Confucianism in Contemporary Chinese Politics
Authors: Zhang Shanruo Ning
Published: September 2024

This book examines the ways in which Confucian political culture operates in contemporary Chinese politics and influences its development. The author argues that the authoritarian political culture performs functions similar to the democratic political culture, drawing on a wide range of data—surveys, interviews, archives, Public Hearing Meeting records, and the Party Congress Reports of the Chinese Communist Party—to substantiate and illustrate these arguments. In an authoritarian political system, the “legitimating values” of the authoritarian political culture persuade the public of their government’s legitimacy and the “engaging values” equip individuals with a set of cultural dispositions, resources, and skills to acquire political resources and services from the state. In the context of Chinese politics, personal connections infused with affection and trust—the Social Capital in the Confucian culture—facilitate political engagement. Despite the country’s continuous advocacy for the “rule of law,” state and public perceptions of legal professionals and legal practices, such as mediation and lawyer-judge relations, are fundamentally moralized. A new “people ideology,” which originated in the Confucian political culture, has been re-appropriated to legitimate the Party’s hegemonic governing position and policies.

How did agriculture come about in the American Southwest? What environmental and social factors led to the cultivation of plants? How, in turn, did the use of these new agricultural products affect the ancient peoples living in the region? In pursuit of answers to these questions, Barbara Roth synthesizes data from both CRM and academic research to explore the emergence and impact of Southwestern agriculture.

Roth examines agricultural beginnings across the entire Southwest, both northern and southern, and across culture groups residing there. Beyond simply addressing the arrival and widespread adoption of specific cultigens, she pays particular attention to human factors such as patterns of production andvariability in agricultural developments. Her consideration of broad social and environmental dynamics affecting forager diets and adaptive strategies sheds new light on what we know—and what we should ask—about the transition fromforaging to farming.
Memory and Nation Building
Authors: Galaty Michael L.
Published: September 2024

Memory and Nation Building addresses the complex topic of collective memory, first described by sociologist Maurice Halbwachs in the first half of the 20th century. Author Michael Galaty argues that the first states appropriated traditional collective memory systems in order to form. With this in mind, he compares three Mediterranean societies – Egypt, Greece, and Albania – each of which experienced very different trajectories of state formation. Galaty attributes these differences to varying responses to collective memory in all three places through time, with climaxes in the Ottoman period, during which all three were under Ottoman control. Egypt was characterized by deeply meaningful memory tropes concerning national unity, which spanned all of Egyptian history, while Greece experienced memory fragmentation, a condition exacerbated by periods of imperial conquest. Albania adapted and assimilated when faced with foreign domination, such that an indigenous Albanian state did not form until 1912.

Galaty builds a diachronic model of state formation and its relationship to memory and political control. Memory and Nation Building culminates in an analysis of modern collective memory systems and resistance to those systems, which are often framed as conflicts over “heritage”. The formation and eventual fall of the short-lived Islamic State serves as an example of extreme memory work, with lessons for other modern nations.

True Lies and Short Takes
Authors: Stelzig Eugene L.
Published: September 2024

This gathering of autobiographical essays focuses on different experiences and periods of the author’s life and hybrid identity: a childhood spent in Austria, teenage years in an American school and then a lycèe in France, coming to the U.S. as a young adult and attending college, studying in England for two years, and then settling permanently in the U.S. into an academic career. The word “essay” in the title is meant in its original or French sense, as an attempt or trial. The twenty-four items in this gathering are a kaleidoscopic collection of such attempts at different modes of self-reflexivity. They are arranged not so much in the chronological order of their composition as by way of loosely assembled thematic clusters. “True lies” suggests that by transforming lived experiences into language--by way of memory, imagination, and reflection--and often years and decades later, we inevitably alter them as we write them down. But we also re-experience them, and in so doing shift them into another register. These recollections cover a wide range of experiences: Stelzig’s early years, his absurd encounter with a barber in Salzburg, his mysterious Buddha experience in Hong Kong, his travel misadventure in Spain, his career as an aspiring poet, his commitment to teaching Shakespeare’s plays, his love of dogs and of tennis, and the death of a nineteen-year old Austrian au pair girl. True Lies is divided into three parts. “Austrian Roots” addresses Stelzig’s early years, including his relationship with his Austrian parents. “Adult Branchings” focuses on his American adult life and identity. The final section, “Falling Leaves,” is for the most part a set of reflections on the later stages of life and the sense of mortality and of time running out—the challenge of “being in time” and the question of “what remains.”
Black Liberation through Action and Resistance

Five Rising Democracies
Authors: Piccone Ted
Published: September 2024

Shifting power balances in the world are shaking the foundations of the liberal international order and revealing new fault lines at the intersection of human rights and international security. Will these new global trends help or hinder the world's long struggle for human rights and democracy? The answer depends on the role of five rising democraciesIndia, Brazil, South Africa, Turkey, and Indonesiaas both examples and supporters of liberal ideas and practices.

Ted Piccone analyzes the transitions of these five democracies as their stars rise on the international stage. While they offer important and mainly positive examples of the compatibility of political liberties, economic growth, and human development, their foreign policies swing between interest-based strategic autonomy and a principled concern for democratic progress and human rights. In a multipolar world, the fate of the liberal international order depends on how they reconcile these tendencies.
Small Isn't Beautiful
Authors: Latimer Trevor
Published: September 2024

“Eat local” has become a popular marketing slogan in recent years, based on the idea that food grown or raised nearby is better for you and friendlier to the environment than similar products shipped in from many miles away. That slogan reflects a broader worldview suggesting that everything local, including government and knowledge, is better than what originates somewhere else.

Small Isn’t Beautiful acknowledges that some things that are local are good, but denies that what’s local is always or even often better than what’s far away. “Localism” is based on an “undeserved aura of respectability, virtue, and good sense” and can produce results that are misguided or even dangerous. Particularly when it comes to public policies, decisions made at the local level are rarely superior and are sometimes unjust. Small Isn’t Beautiful exposes the supposed “virtue” of localism as a hodgepodge of weak arguments and misleading hunches. Trevor Latimer's engagingly written and provocative book will appeal to all readers who want to understand localism beyond slogans and marketing.
Revitalizing a Nation
Authors: Winston Clifford , Yan Jia
Published: September 2024

An efficient transportation system reduces the cost of distance by moving people and goods from their origins to their destinations as cheaply, quickly, and safely as possible. By enabling individuals and firms to be more productive, transportation provides the foundation for the development and growth of industries and an entire economy.

Clifford Winston, Jia Yan, and Associates argue that competition and innovation are the key drivers of an efficient transportation system. The authors provide new evidence that transportation deregulation and privatization that spur additional competition among carriers and infrastructure providers, as well as new innovations that create autonomous transportation services, have the potential to rid the US transportation system of its major inefficiencies and revitalize the nation.
