Suprastatehood and supranationality in the prism of modern international law
Authors: Pasechnyk Olena
Published: April 2023

Suprastatehood and supranationality is a legal quality of an international organization that allows it, following the procedure approved by the member states, to make binding decisions, including without the direct consent of an individual state. In modern international law, the role of suprastatehood and supranationality has changed. Therefore, taking into account the dynamics of development and the rapidity of change, it is necessary to analyze the place of suprastatehood and supranationality in the prism of modern international law. The purpose of the work is to examine the peculiarities of the influence of supranational institutions on international relations and international law. The methodological basis of this study is such methods as a method of formal-logical analysis, historical method, comparative method, and functional method. As a result of the conducted research, the peculiarities of the manifestation of suprastatehood and supranationality in the prism of modern international law were analyzed. Definitions of the terms "suprastatehood", "supranationality", "supranational Union" are provided. The peculiarities of the contractual regulation of relations between states and the impact of such regulation on the international legal order and international law are remarked on. It is finalized that the presence of supranational and supranational institutions is a characteristic feature of modern international relations.

Published: April 2023

The purpose of the article is to determine the relationship between the characteristics of social marketing stakeholders and the degree of development of marketing systems in the digital economy. The results of the study are based on a critical analysis of the tools and processes of functioning of marketing systems in the context of digitalisation, and the changes it causes in marketing systems at basic and extended levels due to specific features inherent in the digital economy. The concept of cultural dimensions by Hofstede (2010) is applied to determine the collective behavioural characteristics of the most numerous stakeholders of social marketing, which are members of society in selected countries. A positive statistically significant correlation between the share of online shoppers against the indulgence index (R=.77) and the individualism index (R=.73) was found. There is a negative statistically significant correlation between the share of online shoppers against uncertainty avoidance (R=-.76), power distance (R=-.67), gender culture type (R=-.27) and long-term orientation (R=-.27). In general, a significant part of the expected impact of uncertainty avoidance is taken over by mechanisms that guarantee the protection of personal data from unauthorised use and security from fraud and crime committed in cyberspace.

The article deals with the problem of professional training of future teachers of preschool education institutions to implement the development of child abilities in the modern information society. Attention is paid to the impact of childhood education on achieving significant success in various fields of Science and Art in the future. The analysis of the works of scientists allowed us to generalize the interpretation of the categories: "makings", "abilities", "giftedness". The foundation of a creative personality is its creativity, the determinant of which is the activity of the individual as a search and transformative activity that is not stimulated from the outside. The introduction of information and communication technologies affects the education system, causing significant changes in the content and methods of teaching. The tasks that should be based on the use of information and communication technologies in preschool education are presented. The functions should be performed by modern information and communication technologies in the educational and information environment of preschool educational institutions.

Published: April 2023

Triatoma jatai Gonçalves et al., 2013 is a wild triatomine known so far only from the state of Tocantins, Brazil. This work aims to report a new occurrence of T. jatai in the state of Ceará and update its geographic distribution in the country by means of a map. In August 2022, during sampling in Dr. José Maria Soares Barata private collection, a female specimen of T. jatai was found. This specimen was collected in 1998 at a wild environment in the locality of Coqueiro, municipality of Salitre, Ceará. The identification was based on the original description of T. jatai. The specimen was donated and deposited in the collection of the Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas, Unesp, Araraquara, São Paulo, Brazil. With this new first record, the distribution of the species is extended to the state of Ceará, which is represented by ten Triatominae species.
Contribution on the eating habits and new records of Mirothrips arbiter Cavalleri, Souza, Prezoto & Mound, 2013 (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) in Polistes Latreille, 1802 (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) wasp nests
Authors: Corrêa Barbosa Bruno , Maciel Tatiane Tagliatti , Cavalleri Adriano , Prezoto Fábio
Published: April 2023

New host wasps attacked by Mirothrips arbiter (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) are recorded and their possible feeding on fungi and mites in colonies of Polistes melanosoma and Polistes ferreri is evaluated. No predation events on mites or fungal ingestion were observed, indicating that these thrips only use wasp eggs as food. Thrips do not parasitize wasps’ bodies, they only live at the expense of their colonies, where they find food and shelter. However, as these insects feed on the immature stages of the wasps, it is possible that they cause or accelerate colony decline. Given this, we can say that the ecological relationship between thrips and social wasps is that of social parasitism, that is, thrips are parasites of wasps colonies, they depend directly on them for their survival and cause damage to them. From our findings, the number of host wasp species of this thrips rose to five, all belonging to the Polistinae subfamily.
Pollen niche of Melipona crinita Moure & Kerr, 1950 (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in a meliponary of Acre, Brazil: a study case
Authors: da Silva Correia Francisco Cildomar , Peruquetti Rui Carlos
Published: April 2023

Melipona crinita is widely used in meliponiculture for the production of honey, in several places in the Amazon. Thus, the aim of this study was: (i) determine the seasonal characteristics of the pollen collected by M. crinita, regarding the botanical origin; (ii) the growth habit of plants visited by workers and (iii) the contribution of wild and agricultural species in providing pollen for this bee. Our hypotheses were: (i) M. crinita is a generalist species in the use of its pollen sources; (ii) M. crinita adjusts pollen foraging according to flowering variation and (iii) M. crinita visits mainly wild trees and shrubs to collect pollen. The research was carried out from April 2018 to March 2019 in a meliponary located in the rural area of Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil using a colony of M. crinita. The collected samples revealed 46 pollen types, distributed in 25 families and 41 genera of plants. Fabaceae (Mimosoideae) presented a higher frequency of occurrence, FO = 41.67%. The pollen types with the highest frequency of occurrence were: Solanum, FO = 19.72%; Alchornea, FO = 16.13% and Senna, FO = 11.93%, with the least seasonal being: Solanum and Aparisthmium cordatum. From the total plants visited by M. crinita, 71.74% were wild; 28.26% agricultural; 36.96% trees; 34.78% shrubs; 15.22% herbs; 6.52% lianas and 6.52% sub-bushes. Wild trees and shrubs represented 64.80% of all pollen collected by M. crinita. Thus, the conservation of these plants is essential for the successful management of M. crinita in meliponaries
Social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) associated with Eucalyptus sp. plantations from an Altitude Field in Southern Minas Gerais State, Brazil
Authors: Pereira de Gouvêa Taiguara , Magalhães de Souza Marcos , dos Santos Mireile Reis
Published: April 2023

In Brazil, there is little information about social wasp communities in Altitude Fields (Campos de Altitude), a phytophysiognomy of the Atlantic Forest with a high rate of endemism, which is being altered and reduced in area by human activities, such as the cultivation of Eucalyptus spp. Therefore, the present study aimed to inventory the species of Polistinae (Vespidae) presente in an Altitude Field associated with Eucalyptus sp. plantations in the municipality of Poços de Caldas, Southern Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study was conducted in Morro do Ferro, central region of the Poços de Caldas Plateau, from 2020 to 2021, using active search and Malaise traps. Thirteen species of social wasps were recorded, which have a wide geographic distribution, and explore anthropic environments, such as agricultural areas, pasture and Eucalyptus sp. plantations. Many of them behave as synanthropic, suggesting this altitude field to be a degraded area in Poços Caldas, MG. However, further studies must be carried out in the region, in order to know and preserve these remaining ecosystems.

Published: April 2023

Scorpions and assassin bugs are arthropod predators that may impact in trophic chain, coexisting in similar microhabitats and exhibiting antagonistic interactions. This study reports the first case of predation of the scorpion Physoctonus debilis by the assassin bug Microtomus tibialis in a Brazilian Seasonal Dry Tropical Forest biome. During a nocturnal collection, an adult individual of M. tibialis was observed, with the head and body facing downwards, while holding a female of P. debilis, with the aid of the mouthparts under the vegetation. Reports like these are important to understand the evolutionary dynamics and natural history of predators that cohabit in the same microhabitat.

Authors: de Oliveira Jader , Chaboli Alevi Kaio Cesar , Nascimento Juliana Damieli , Mendonça Vagner José , Freitas de Araújo Renato , da Rosa João Aristeu
Published: April 2023

Triatoma melanocephala is an endemic species of Brazil. Phenotypic (external morphology) and molecular studies were performed to contribute to the taxonomy and phylogeny of triatomines, since few studies on the internal morphology of these were found. In order to contribute to the biological, morphological and taxonomic knowledge of the subfamily Triatominae, this work describes the internal morphology of the reproductive apparatus of adult males and females of T. melanocephala. For this work 30 specimens from Jequié, Bahia, Brazil were used. Triatoma melanocephala’s reproductive system included slim spermathecae insertions, large/medium rounded terminal bodies, and irregular ellipsoid-shaped testicles with a transparent, vitreous appearance. These results contribute to the knowledge of the reproductive biology of this species of vectorial importance and show taxonomic relevance, as well as possible application in systematic studies.
De Kafka a la judicialización de la sociedad: deberes y derechos en la posmodernidad
Authors: Iturralde Roberts Fernando
Published: April 2023

A partir de un análisis de dos novelas de Kafka y la interpretación que de su obra hicieron dos críticos importantes, este artículo se propone analizar las relaciones psicosociales que se establecen entre los ciudadanos y las leyes que emanan del Estado. En una problematización que posee todavía los rasgos del viejo dilema que oponía el Estado a la sociedad civil, se intentará comprender el horror que puede producir un enfrentamiento demasiado abrupto y violento con la modernidad institucional estatal y cómo esa confrontación a su vez da lugar a proyecciones idealizadas de formas de convivencia donde no hay una institucionalización moderna. Finalmente, se propondrán algunas ideas para salir del atolladero en el que parece sumirnos la contradicción entre individualización y pertenencia corporativa de reivindicación de derechos con tendencia a una organización autoritaria. Con vistas a alcanzar estos objetivos, propondremos tres momentos de análisis: primero, Kafka, sus novelas y la visión de un Estado inalcanzable y una ley ambivalente. Luego, veremos los efectos de la individualización y mostraremos que, ahí donde ésta fracasa, corren el riesgo de fracasar los extremos del individualismo judicial también. Por último, propondremos vías que eludan el doble vínculo de lo comunitario y lo individualista.
Il maestro e l'allievo sulla via dei vulcani dell'Italia meridionale
Authors: Alberghina Mario
Published: April 2023

Charles Sainte-Claire Deville (il maestro) e Ferdinand André Fouqué (l'allievo) hanno scritto fascinosi rapporti dei loro viaggi scientifici nelle terre dei vulcani italiani. Sulla scia della politica di forte attivismo esplorativo del Collège de France a metà Ottocento la scienza europea gode di uno speciale status ed esprime un maggiore incremento dell'internazionalismo di scienziati ed intellettuali, non solo per progredire nella loro area di ricerca, ma anche per validare una scelta ideologica di un modello di ordine mondiale "benigno". Il maestro e l'allievo francesi possono essere inclusi in questa cornice storica. Le eruzioni dell'Etna e del Vesuvio sono per loro teatri di esplorazione, ricerca e sistematizzazione dei fenomeni geologici visibili sulla crosta terrestre.
Los programas generativos “Transformer” AI, entre los que está ChatGPT, ¿una oportunidad para la evaluación formativa?
Authors: Zapata-Ros Miguel
Published: April 2023

Cada vez hay más evidencia de que las improvisaciones estadísticas de programas como ChatGPT producen textos aparentemente creíbles pero que no tienen ninguna sustentación. El problema no es tanto que permitan el fraude en proyectos y artículos, como que hagan pasar por correctos lo que sólo son generación de textos "sin alma", sin beingness, o simplemente escritos sin validar teórica o empíricamente, que se aceptan como ciertos acríticamente.El aprendizaje no es dar cuenta sólo mediante exámenes y proyectos, de datos o de textos describiendo conceptos o hechos. Supone según los clásicos (Gagne, Merrill, Reigeluth) comprender, atribuir sentido, aplicar autónomamente lo aprendido y transferirlo a entornos distintos y cambiantes.Para eso tiene que haber procesos de interacción y de retroalimentación. Y, si se utilizan proyectos, deben, en la evaluación, ser supervisados en su realización, en la comprensión y en la atribución de sentido que el prendiz hace.Toda esta constelación de ideas, métodos y prácticas constituye, en el contexto del diseño instruccional, la evaluación formativa.La evaluación formativa (formative assesment) es evaluación continua + feedback. En ese sentido debería haber actividades de evaluación continua que ofrezcan a los estudiantes comentarios formativos sobre su progreso o para ayudarles a autoevaluar el desarrollo y la calidad del diseñoLa evaluación para el aprendizaje (comúnmente conocida como evaluación formativa se centra en la retroalimentación tanto para profesores como para estudiantes.En un mundo donde la IA aprende y nos supera en una lista creciente de dominios cognitivos, *Beingness* es el dominio final del esfuerzo intelectual humano y debe ser el núcleo de la educación. Y la evaluación formativa debe ser un instrumento para ello.

Quo Vadis Employee Participation concerning Share Ownership in Companies in Indonesia
Authors: Sari Andari Yuriko , Wicaksana Arif , Amriyati Amriyati , Utomo Gabriel Bramantyo
Published: April 2023

In general, in various companies, workers are rarely considered company assets, so that in various company developments, the role of workers is not an important thing to consider. However, along with the times, workers are then considered as company assets and have even begun to develop in various companies that include workers in share ownership of the company concerned and by participating in company share ownership (ESOP: Employee Stock Ownership Program), thus workers feel become part of the company. Article 43 Paragraph (3) letter a Law no. 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies (“UUPT”) basically states that companies can offer shares to their own employees. However, basically there is no obligation for companies to include their workers in the ownership of company shares according to the Company Law. The problems in share ownership in companies for workers are (1) What are the legal problematic dilemmas regarding workers' participation in share ownership in companies in Indonesia? (2) What is the normative regulation of workers' share ownership in a company if it is to be regulated in sources of employment law, both autonomous and heteronomous? . In general, it can be concluded that there are still many obstacles in terms of workers wanting to be included in company ownership because according to laws and regulations participation in company share ownership is not a mandatory thing for companies to do, but must be an initiative of workers' associations and/or unions. Apart from that, there is also the problem of how to regulate normatively related to share ownership in the company for workers so that workers have a legal basis to own shares in the company.

The presence of spontaneous plants in agricultural cultivation areas can result in damage to the crop of interest due to competition for natural resources and allelopathy, requiring systematic monitoring for an adequate cultivation management. In this way, the objective was to identify the spontaneous plant communities species in an area of a one-year fallow conventional corn crop in the southeastern of Pará state, in the Brazilian amazon. A phytosociological survey of the plants in the experimental area of the Technological Center of Family Agriculture (CETAF) was carried out, by applying the inventory square method with 1.0 m2, randomly launched twenty times in an area corresponding to 1.1 hectare. The phytosociological parameters analyzed were frequency, relative frequency, density, relative density, abundance, relative abundance and importance value index (IRI). It was found 19 species of spontaneous plants distributed in 11 botanical families, being, Euphorbiaceae (4), Asteraceae (3), Amaranthaceae (2) and Poaceae (2) the most representative in numbers of species sampled. The most important species were Sorghum arundinaceum (IRI = 55.70), Commelina benghalensis (IRI = 47.78) and Synedrella nodiflora (IRI = 42.39). A high diversity of spontaneous plants was verified, emphasizing the need for phytosociological surveys for the definition of integrated control practices in face of the type of cultivation system adopted.

O cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum S.) é um fruto comestível e originário da região Amazônica brasileira, sendo hoje encontrado em várias partes do mundo. A polpa, bem como a semente, apresenta em sua composição compostos que possuem influência sobre fatores biológicos e consequentemente, podem apresentar efeitos preventivos contra algumas doenças. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito protetor do cupuaçu como antioxidante nos tecidos (fígado e cérebro) e na medula óssea de camundongos machos Swiss, através da inibição da mutagenicidade induzida pelo agente alquilante ciclofosfamida (CPA). O extrato aquoso in natura do cupuaçu (EAC) foi usado para os testes in vivo de biomarcadores de estresse oxidativo (superóxido dismutase, catalase, glutationa-S-transferase, glutationa reduzida, ácido ascórbico e carbonilação de proteínas) e do micronúcleo  para a avaliação do potencial antimutagênico/mutagênico . Os animais (n= 6 /grupo) foram tratados por 15 dias consecutivos com EAC (via gavagem) e no 15º dia receberam intraperitonealmente NaCl (0,9%) ou CPA (25 mg/Kg), sendo sacrificados 24 horas após o tratamento para avaliação dos parâmetros acima citados e da frequência de eritrócitos policromáticos micronucleados (MNPCE). Os resultados mostraram que o pré-tratamento por 15 dias com o EAC somente aumentou a atividade da superóxido dismutase cerebral e na presença da CPA houve redução desta atividade no fígado. Esta dose de CPA não promoveu alterações per se no status redox, porém o extrato não reduziu a frequência de MNPCE induzida pela CPA, quando comparado com o grupo controle positivo. Ainda, o grupo tratado somente com a polpa não mostrou efeito mutagênico. Diante dos resultados foi possível verificar que o cupuaçu não apresentou atividade antimutagênica/mutagênica e ainda que o processo de congelamento das amostras pode ter interferido nas respostas frente aos parâmetros bioquímicos do status redox avaliados.

O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar doses crescentes de adubação fosfatada em dois diferentes híbridos de milho cultivados em solo arenoso. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 2 x 5, sendo dois híbridos de milho (Brevant 688 e Agroceres 1051) e cinco doses de fósforo (0; 50; 100; 150 e 200 kg ha-1 de P2O5), replicadas quatro vezes. A fonte de fósforo utilizada foi o monofosfato de amônio. O solo utilizado foi coletado de um Neossolo Quartzarênico com 903 g kg-1 de areia. Aos 45 dias após o plantio dos híbridos foram mensuradas as características estruturais como altura de plantas e o diâmetro de colmo. A biomassa vegetal foi pesada e seca para a obtenção dos dados que foram submetidos à análise de variância e estudo de regressão. As plantas híbridas de milho diferem em suas respostas à aplicação de fósforo em solo de textura arenosa, indicando a necessidade de diferentes recomendações de adubação fosfatada no mesmo solo para diferentes híbridos, sendo que para o genótipo Brevant 688 ocorreram as maiores produções indicando maior potencial para a utilização desse material para as condições de textura extremas impostas neste estudo.

O manjericão (Ocimum basilicum L), é um arbusto herbáceo pertencente à família Lamiaceae. No Brasil é cultivado para fins comerciais, como planta ornamental, medicinal e aromática. Sendo assim, o trabalho objetivou avaliar a melhor forma de propagação vegetativa de manjericão (O. basilicum L) por estacas de diferentes posições cultivadas sob diferentes substratos. Foram testados cinco tipos de substratos (areia, solo, solo+areia, solo+esterco com serragem, solo+esterco) e três partes vegetativas da planta (apical, medial, basal) com aproximadamente 12,5cm de comprimento em tubetes 55cm³. O delineamento utilizado foi de inteiramente casualizados, em esquema de parcelas subsubdivididas e mantidas em sombrite (50% de sombreamento). Após cinquenta e oito dias foram avaliados os comprimentos e o número das raízes e altura de planta. Com base nos resultados apresentados no presente trabalho pode se afirmar que as melhores mudas foram feitas a partir da parte apical da planta e com o substrato composto apenas de solo.

Copaiba oil reveals therapeutic properties and has actions such as anti-inflammatory, healing, antiseptic, antitumor, antibacterial, germicidal, expectorant, diuretic and analgesic. Given the anti-inflammatory properties of copaiba oil, the present study aims to evaluate the action of the oil on possible nephrotoxic effects of rats with liver dysfunction caused by the drug thioacetamide. Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups, consisting of the control group (C), copaiba oil group (O), thioacetamide group (TAA) and thioacetamide + copaiba oil group (TAA + O). The animals received treatment via gavage for eight weeks and were fed standard rodent chow. The kidney fragments were histologically prepared using the historresin technique and HE staining and, later, the images were photographed and processed in an image analyzer for histological characterization of the kidney tissue. The histological results showed an intact kidney tissue with a homogeneous pattern between the groups. Typical cortical and medullary layers and very distinct renal tubules with their well stained and healthy cells. The renal corpuscles showed regular contours, well-distributed anastomosed capillaries and typical macula densa. Histopathological analysis of the kidneys did not reveal alterations or any type of lesion in important structures such as renal tubules and renal corpuscles, and no lymphocytic infiltrate was observed in the renal interstitium. In contrast, the liver tissue from the parallel histological study developed cirrhosis in the group treated with thioacetamide, however, this drug did not compromise the renal histological pattern of the present study. It is concluded that the kidney tissue did not show morphological changes when submitted to thioacetamide, supposedly due to the exposure time, the dose used or that the thioacetamide has been metabolized into less toxic compounds to the kidneys to the detriment of hepatic damage. However, the parallel study of liver tissue and the present study ensure the use of copaiba oil for therapeutic purposes.
Movimentos sociais no Brasil em tempos extremos: criminalização e resistências
Authors: Nunes Francivaldo Alves
Published: April 2023

Neste texto analisamos as situações vivenciadas pelo Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra (MST) e o Movimento Negro, duas principais organizações sociais vítimas de criminalização por parte de agentes e autoridades públicas no Brasil, na segunda década do século XXI. A proposta é fazermos uma reflexão sobre a tentativa de criminalizar, sem deixar de perceber a força popular dos movimentos frente a uma deturpação de lutas e demandas que são importantes para a própria garantia da democracia. Para isso utilizamos, em diálogo com a bibliografia sobre o tema, os jornais e documentos produzidos pelas organizações sociais, com a perspectiva de compreender os ataques sofridos por esses movimentos nos últimos anos no Brasil, considerando também suas demandas de atuação, inclusive de luta contra estas ações que buscam criminalizar atos legítimos de reivindicações.
