Published: October 2021

The article analyzes the characteristics of the legal regulation of road safety in different countries of the world. In addition, current issues in the field of road safety are revealed, which can be conditionally divided into several groups. Such issues include legal regulation; the structural organization of legal regulation: personnel, material, technical and financial support.

Linguistic approaches and modern communication technologies in political discourses in Europe and the USA (contrastive aspect)
Authors: Shkvorchenko Nataliia , Cherniaieva Irina , Petlyuchenko Nataliya
Published: October 2021

In this study, we analyze the political discourse of the United States and Europe in terms of linguistic approaches. Among the methods we use are systemic, structural, functional, content analysis, discourse analysis and thesaurus method. Its application took place within the theory of discourse. The study found that the main difference between the political discourses of Europe and the United States are the forms and means of communication, the formats of their distribution and the massive indicators of inclusion of the population (recipient of political discourse) in the communicative interaction. The difference is also the centralization and the levels at which the discourse develops. For example, the focus of political rhetoric on the institution of the U.S. presidency makes the presidential speech a reflection of public opinion. This is not typical of European countries, as pluralism of opinion is widespread there, communication takes place at local, regional, national, and supranational level. In addition, the European identity is in the process of being deeded. However, both discourses have in common the commitment to the values of democracy, but they manifest themselves differently.

Authors: Mousavi Sayed Alireza , Ghasemi Massoud , Jafari Mohammad Javad
Published: October 2021

The primary concern of justice department law enforcement as the arms of the criminal justice system is the rapid discovery of the crime. This article seeks to investigate the attitude of Iran's criminal policy or, more specifically, Iran's criminal policy towards the observance of the right to remain silent in trials. In line with this, the problem of the study translates into the question: what are the results of the observance of the right to silence of the accused in the different stages of the criminal process? Utilizing the documentary investigation method, issues related to the right of the accused to remain silent in Iran's criminal proceedings at the stage of discovery of the crime, the initial investigation stage, and the trial stage in Iran's laws on criminal procedures were investigated seminally. Among the main conclusions is that Iran's trial system, which was in line with the inquisitorial trial system, changed its procedures with the passage of the law on criminal trial procedures in 2013 and was influenced by the effect of international human rights regulations.

Published: October 2021

Questionable questions are studied on the annulment of the measure of procedural coercion applied in the form of seizure of property in the event of termination of a criminal proceeding (criminal prosecution) with voluntary compensation for damages caused by a crime. The authors propose to specify the cases in which it is possible to cancel the seizure of property, that is, in case of expiration of the period of detention imposed on the property established by the court, or refusal of extension, as well as in cases of termination of the criminal case (criminal proceedings) and the refusal of the plaintiff of the declared civil claim. Attention is also given to the issues of seizure of property to compensate for moral damage caused by a crime. Based on the results of the consideration of this issue, it is concluded that the use of a measure of procedural coercion in the form of a seizure of property is possible not only for the purpose of compensating for property damage but also to create legal guarantees. Guarantee compensation for moral damage caused by a crime, as specific additions to the current criminal procedure law in Russia are justified.

Lactação em doenças reumáticas
Authors: Aikawa Nádia Emi
Published: October 2021

Doenças reumatológicas autoimunes frequentemente se desenvolvem mais em mulheres em idade reprodutiva e a amamentação é o melhor método de alimentação de recém-nascidos e lactentes, tendo em vista aspectos nutricionais, imunológicos, desenvolvimento psicológico, social e econômico. No entanto, a decisão dessas mulheres por amamentar enfrenta diversos desafios. As tradicionais categorias de risco do Food and Drug Administration (FDA) têm utilidade clínica limitada no tratamento de pacientes com doenças reumatológicas crônicas ativas durante o período de lactação. Elas combinam a avaliação de risco e benefício durante a gestação e são, para a maioria das drogas, baseadas em estudos em animais. Estudos de drogas em lactantes dificilmente são realizados com novos medicamentos. Dados em humanos se baseiam particularmente em relatos de eventos negativos relacionados à exposição inadvertida à droga durante a amamentação. Dessa forma, as taxas de iniciação da amamentação em mulheres em uso de medicações crônicas são baixas, mesmo sob recomendações a favor da manutenção do aleitamento durante a terapia. Lee et al. demonstraram que as taxas de iniciação do aleitamento são de aproximadamente 50% para mulheres que faziam uso crônico de carbamazepina ou propiltiouracil, ambas as drogas compatíveis com a amamentação, comparadas com até 90% em mulheres controles. Informações equivocadas podem influenciar negativamente sobre a decisão das mulheres com doenças crônicas em amamentar, ainda que durante o tratamento com drogas seguras.
Os desafios de lidar com um sistema biológico Zen
Authors: Andrade Luís Eduardo Coelho
Published: October 2021

A imunologia permeia amplamente o universo das doenças reumáticas, especialmente aquelas de natureza inflamatória sistêmica. De fato, o processo inflamatório, uma das características fundamentais das doenças reumáticas, é uma manifestação essencial da atividade do sistema imunitário. Em suas vertentes inata e adaptativa, o sistema imunitário está diuturnamente promovendo algum grau de inflamação. No estado fisiológico, a atividade do sistema imunitário não é percebida, pois se restringe ao âmbito localizado de focos descontínuos de distúrbios mínimos que são prontamente resolvidos sem repercussão clínica e sem deixar sequelas. Na verdade, há um estado inflamatório mínimo em equilíbrio no indivíduo sadio. O processo inflamatório só é percebido quando alcança maiores dimensões em função de um distúrbio local ou sistêmico de maior monta. Ainda na esfera fisiológica, o processo inflamatório mais intenso tende a se resolver com a remoção do agente agressor, restaurando-se a homeostase. Do ponto de vista imunológico, a faceta fisiopatológica se inicia quando há anomalia nesse ciclo harmônico, ou seja, quando a resposta inflamatória é exagerada em face do agente desencadeante ou quando o processo inflamatório não consegue se resolver espontaneamente, ocasionando doenças inflamatórias crônicas. Parte dessas enfermidades ocupa a atenção do reumatologista e vem sendo categorizada como doenças autoimunes ao longo dos últimos 70 anos.
Síndrome de fragilidade
Authors: Castro Charlles Heldan de Moura , Szejnfeld Vera Lúcia
Published: October 2021

A síndrome de fragilidade é um conceito relevante na Geriatria, cuja importância está associada à capacidade de predizer o benefício do tratamento e estabelecer o prognóstico. Existem várias definições sutilmente diferentes de síndrome de fragilidade utilizadas na pesquisa clínica. A definição mais relevante para o clínico é a de uma síndrome clínica que inclui três ou mais das seguintes variáveis: perda de peso não intencional, autorrelato de exaustão, fraqueza, velocidade de caminhada lenta e/ou baixa atividade física1. Tem sido demonstrado que o fenótipo da síndrome de fragilidade em idosos é um preditor independente do risco de queda, incapacidade, hospitalização e morte. Além disso, os idosos frágeis correm um maior risco de desenvolver outras síndromes geriátricas. A identificação da fragilidade em um paciente muitas vezes pode mudar a trajetória do cuidado porque implica uma expectativa de vida mais limitada e um aumento da carga de doença.
A avaliação do estado funcional é um componente importante da avaliação geriátrica e deve fazer parte dos cuidados geriátricos de rotina. A incapacidade funcional, definida como uma limitação da capacidade para realizar tarefas básicas, como tomar banho ou vestir-se, pode ser o primeiro prenúncio de uma síndrome geriátrica. Condições específicas comumente descobertas como parte da avaliação de síndromes geriátricas, como fraqueza das extremidades, depressão e perda visual e auditiva, são preditoras de declínio funcional futuro, tanto por conta própria quanto como parte de uma síndrome geriátrica.
A síndrome de fragilidade é definida conceitualmente como um estado clinicamente reconhecível de adultos mais velhos com maior vulnerabilidade, resultante de declínios associados à idade na reserva fisiológica e função em múltiplos sistemas de órgãos, de modo que a capacidade de lidar com estressores cotidianos ou agudos é comprometida. Grandes esforços internacionais têm sido feitos recentemente para alcançar um consenso acerca da síndrome de fragilidade. Embora nenhuma definição operacional ou simples ferramenta de avaliação tenha sido acordada, um consenso foi estabelecido para a síndrome de fragilidade: 1) é uma síndrome clínica; 2) indica maior vulnerabilidade aos estressores, levando ao comprometimento funcional e a resultados adversos para a saúde; 3) pode ser reversível ou atenuada por intervenções; e 4) é útil na atenção primária à saúde.
Doenças da coluna vertebral no idoso
Authors: Natour Jamil
Published: October 2021

No crescimento e desenvolvimento de uma criança, vemos espelhada a evolução filogenética do homem. Ao tornar-se bípede e adquirir a posição ereta, o homem passou por transformações musculoesqueléticas das quais a mais marcante é a transformação da cifose única da coluna vertebral (CV) em uma curva tipo “S” no plano sagital, presente no homem adulto. Se por um lado a postura ereta liberou as mãos para atividades de maior precisão, ela criou novas possibilidades de conflitos mecânicos, os quais, em determinados indivíduos e em determinadas situações, podem conduzir às doenças chamadas de origem mecânico-posturais.
A unidade funcional da CV é composta por dois segmentos: o anterior, contendo dois corpos vertebrais, separados por um disco; e o segmento posterior, funcionalmente composto por duas articulações zigoapofisárias ou interfacetárias. O segmento anterior é uma estrutura de sustentação, suporte de peso e amortecedora de choques, enquanto o segmento posterior normalmente não suporta peso e tem por função principal a de guia direcional dos movimentos.
Indigenous peoples and natural hazard research, policy and practice in southern temperate Australia: an agenda for change
Authors: Williamson Bhiamie , Weir Jessica
Published: October 2021

Engaging with Indigenous peoples is clearly on the agenda of natural hazard leaders in southern Australia, but there is very little research, policy or practical experience to support this work. Indeed, with a few important exceptions, natural hazard organisations and research institutions have had little engagement with Indigenous peoples, their organisations or research priorities or protocols. While there are substantial gaps in the research evidence, it is important to start identifying the issues at hand and consider what might be done in response. This paper provides a brief overview of the fraught relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Australia and some common misunderstandings. The paper includes specific suggestions for current research, policy and practice, noting that natural hazard agencies and research institutions are influential and closely related. It is clear there are challenges. However, changing practice is essential to foster more respectful terms between Indigenous peoples and Australia’s natural hazard and emergency management sector.
Pre-incident planning of fires in underground hard rock mines: old and new risks
Authors: Hansen Rickard
Published: October 2021

Fires in underground mines may pose a challenge to fire and rescue personnel where the complex environment and multiple influences of a fire are poorly considered during pre-incident planning. A better knowledge of pre-incident planning in underground mines would improve the safety of personnel. This study on pre-incident planning in underground mines applied data from experiments, inventories and design fire studies. A number of questions were considered related to information sources, fire modelling, capturing complexity and using fire scenarios. When performing fire modelling, empirical models could be used to complement other modelling tools. The study found that for modelling of spatially extensive mine sections, the use of ventilation network-based mine fire simulations could be a better option. Using an analytical toolbox, an iterative testing of plans and an ongoing planning process, the pre-planning challenges for a mine can be mitigated. The purpose of this study was to examine existing pre-incident planning and propose information sources, tools and specific actions for future plans.
A systematic review of the emergency planning for flash floods response in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alrehaili Naif Rashed
Published: October 2021

Every year, flash floods hit many cities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabia) leading to many injuries and deaths as well as a huge amount of damage to infrastructure. Risks of frequent flash floods have been linked to a lack of emergency planning. This paper presents a systematic review of emergency planning for flash floods response currently in place in Saudi Arabia. Collected information was analysed based on the suitability of content and data for emergency planning in flash floods response. Aspects of the dominant approach of emergency planning and the community-based approach are examined and considered against applications in Saudi Arabia. A case study is used about flash floods in Jeddah in 2009 and 2011 to consider these approaches. This may be the first systematic review of emergency planning for flash floods response in Saudi Arabia and shortcomings listed may lead to improvements in policy, planning and training, particularly given the scientific consensus of an increase in the frequency and magnitude of flash floods in Saudi Arabia.

PREVARICAR: CONSIDERACIONES TEÓRICAS SOBRE SU APLICABILIDAD, POR PARTE DEL JUEZ, EN EL MARCO DE SUSTANCIACIÓN Y RESOLUCIÓN DE GARANTÍAS JURISDICCIONALES DE CONTROL CONSTITUCIONAL
Authors: Vera Pinto Andrés Salustio
Published: October 2021

Los jueces de la Corte Constitucional no pueden ser objeto de acciones pre-procesales y procesales penales por el contenido de sus resoluciones o fallos, consignados en el ejercicio del cargo. El delito de prevaricato establece que los administradores de la justicia deben seguir el precedente judicial de las altas cortes. De tal manera, que las personas encargadas de sentenciar y aplicar la ley, al apartarse injustificadamente del precedente, desconocen directamente los preceptos constitucionales de un acto administrativo de carácter general. Este estudio, se basó en la sentencia de la Corte Constitucional del Ecuador, dentro del proceso de garantías jurisdiccionales de derechos constitucionales de acción extraordinaria de protección No. 0635-11-EP, sentencia N° 141-18-SEO-CC, conocido por la opinión pública como el caso Cervecería Nacional, sobre los derechos laborales; para argumentar y declarar que los jueces, en la sustanciación y/o resolución de una garantía jurisdiccional de control constitucional no podrían prevaricar en ningún caso. La metodología se enmarcó dentro del paradigma crítico propositivo. El tipo de investigación empleada es la documental, de nivel descriptivo, puesto que se analizó y describió la situación desde un enfoque teórico, basado en un diseño de carácter bibliográfico, de una revisión sistemática de materiales impresos, a través de diversas técnicas como fichajes, subrayados, internet. En conclusión, existen las bases y normativa legal para sancionar a cualquier administrador de la justicia por alguna acción que esté fuera de los parámetros de la ley.

Authors: Andreev Dmitry A. , Zavyalov Aleksander A.
Published: October 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on healthcare systems in many countries around the world, including the cancer care system in the Netherlands. During the first smart lockdown, the number of consultations by family physicians (general practitioners) decreased by 70%, and the number of referrals of patients to specialized centers (hospitals) decreased by 75 %. Since the 9th week of 2020, in which the first case of COVID-19 in the Netherlands was confirmed, there has been a marked decrease in the number of diagnosed oncological diseases. When compared with the first weeks of 2020, the number of diagnoses at the peak of the pandemic decreased by 20-4 0%. 20th week and onwards saw the recovery of the diagnostic system, although the number of detected cases of cancer remained low. Screening programs for breast, colon and cervical cancer have been suspended at 12th week of 2020. Further clinical studies are needed to identify the real effects of the pandemic on long-term outcomes (survival and quality of life) in cancer patients. It is important to remove unnecessary barriers for patients to seek care in primary health care and to ensure continued regular care during the pandemic.

Fashion, Performance, and Performativity
Authors: Kollnitz Andrea , Pecorari Marco
Published: October 2021

In the first comprehensive study of the interactions between fashion, performance and performativity, a group of international experts explore fashion as the ideal “complex space” – or, in other words, the ideal space where performance and performativity come together, according to the works of seminal theorists Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Andrew Parker.

Bringing together western and non-western, historical and contemporary case studies and theories, the book explores the magazines, photography, exhibitions, global colonial divides, digital media, and more, which have become key markers of the fashion industry as we know it today.

Using existing literature as a springboard and incorporating perspectives from fashion studies, art history, media studies, and gender studies, as well as from artists and practitioners, Fashion, Performance & Performativity is an innovative and essential work for students, scholars, and practitioners across multiple disciplines.
Experimental Filmmaking and Punk
Authors: Garfield Rachel
Published: October 2021

Just as punk created a space for bands such as the Slits and Poly Styrene to challenge 1970s norms of femininity, through a transgressive, strident new female-ness, it also provoked experimental feminist film makers to initiate a parallel, lens-based challenge to patriarchal modes of film making.

In this book, Rachel Garfield breaks new ground in exploring the rebellious, feminist punk audio-visual culture of the 1970s, tracing its roots and its legacies. In their filmmaking and their performed personae, film and video artists such as Vivienne Dick, Sandra Lahire, Betzy Bromberg, Ruth Novaczek, Sadie Benning, Leslie Thornton, Abigail Child and Anne Robinson offered a powerful, deliberately awkward alternative to hegemonic conformist femininity, creating a new “punk audio visual aesthetic”. A vital aspect of our vibrant contemporary digital audio visual culture, Garfield argues, can be traced back to the techniques and forms of these feminist pioneers, who like their musical contemporaries worked in a pre-digital, analogue modality that nevertheless influenced the emergent digital audio visual culture of the 1990s and 2000s.
Discourse and Ideology
Authors: Martin Craig
Published: October 2021

Drawing on poststructuralist approaches, Craig Martin outlines a theory of discourse, ideology, and domination that can be used by scholars and students to understand these central elements in the study of culture.

The book shows how discourses are used to construct social institutions—often classist, sexist, or racist—and that those social institutions always entail a distribution of resources and capital in ways that capacitate some subject positions over others. Such asymmetrical power relations are often obscured by ideologies that offer demonstrably false accounts of why those asymmetries exist or persist.

The author provides a method of reading in order to bring matters into relief, and the last chapter provides a case study that applies his theory and method to racist ideologies in the United States, which systematically function to discourage white Americans from sympathizing with poor African Americans, thereby contributing to reinforcing the latter’s place at the bottom of a racial hierarchy that has always existed in the US.
Film Editing
Authors: Lambden Julie
Published: October 2021

Film editing is part of the long process of formulating, acquiring and presenting the images and sounds that make a film. The film editor makes decisions about the arrangement of the visual and aural material that they receive in the cutting room, not for their own satisfaction but to stimulate the participation of the cinema and television viewer. Three interrelated aspects, Emotion, Performance and Story, influence this decision-making.

Combining history, practice, study and theory, Film Editing: Emotion, Performance, Story investigates why certain editorial decisions can encourage the emotional and narrative engagement of the audience. With full-color examples from features, short films and commercials, this book introduces a range of different editing styles and techniques to provide editors with a context on which to build their practice.

Julie Lambden takes a discursive approach exploring the many options open to the editor whether this is the fine point at which to cut or the exact structuring of scenes within a whole film. Examples are closely analysed and discussed using frame grabs, graphics and plans. The book opens discussions on our psychological and cognitive behavior, and asks why certain picture and sound configurations can affect us emotionally. Interspersed with chapters on the fundamental tools of editing are studies of three editing strategies. Each is a method of persuasion that the editor can use to elicit a response in the audience, whether that is sympathy for a character or belief in the fictional world.
Popular Music, Power and Play
Authors: Heiser Marshall
Published: October 2021

Once the domain of a privileged few, the art of record production is today within the reach of all. The rise of the ubiquitous DIY project studio and internet streaming have made it so. And while the creative possibilities available to everyday musicians are seemingly endless, so too are the multiskilling and project management challenges to be faced. In order to demystify the contemporary popular-music-making phenomenon, Marshall Heiser reassesses its myriad processes and wider sociocultural context through the lens of creativity studies, play theory and cultural psychology.

This innovative new framework is grounded in a diverse array of creative-practice examples spanning the CBGBs music scene to the influence of technology upon modern-day music. First-hand interviews with Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads), Bill Bruford (King Crimson, Yes) and others whose work has influenced the way records are made today are also included. Popular Music, Power and Play is as thought provoking as it will be indispensable for scholars, practitioners and aficionados of popular music and the arts in general.

La democracia y su cultura política
Authors: Berrocal Elena , González Luis Armando
Published: October 2021

El propósito de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la importancia y el sentido de la cultura política democrática, en su articulación con el régimen político que la genera y al que sirve de sostén. Este análisis arranca de una pregunta clave: ¿qué es lo que permite que los ciudadanos acepten los mecanismos democráticos para la resolución de sus problemas? La respuesta que se ensaya es doble: por un lado, la confianza en las instituciones democráticas; y, por el otro, el rechazo a las soluciones de fuerza para resolver los problemas de la sociedad.

Language is one of the domains of individual development. Language development is related to literacy skills, both from the beginning of life as well as in later times. Individual literacy abilities are related to academic achievement. Early childhood in the early stages of pre-school is the basis for the introduction and understanding of basic children's literacy. Therefore the concept of development and also efforts to maximize the potential for children's development is in accordance with their uniqueness. Because of its importance, this article will discuss developments related to language and literacy in children and the methods used in efforts to develop children's language skills and literacy.

Abstract. A major source of uncertainty in both climate projections and seasonal forecasting of sea ice is inadequate representation of surface–atmosphere exchange processes. The observations needed to improve understanding and reduce uncertainty in surface exchange parameterizations are challenging to make and rare. Here we present a large dataset of ship-based measurements of surface momentum exchange (surface drag) in the vicinity of sea ice from the Arctic Clouds in Summer Experiment (ACSE) in July–October 2014, and the Arctic Ocean 2016 experiment (AO2016) in August–September 2016. The combined dataset provides an extensive record of momentum flux over a wide range of surface conditions spanning the late summer melt and early autumn freeze-up periods, and a wide range of atmospheric stabilities. Surface exchange coefficients are estimated from in situ eddy covariance measurements. The local sea-ice fraction is determined via automated processing of imagery from ship-mounted cameras. The surface drag coefficient, CD10n, peaks at local ice fractions of 0.6–0.8, consistent with both recent aircraft-based observations and theory. Two state-of-the-art parameterizations have been tuned to our observations with both providing excellent fits to the measurements.

Abstract. This study analyzes the flux transfer event (FTE)-type flux ropes and magnetic reconnection around the dayside magnetopause during BepiColombo’s Earth flyby. The magnetosheath corresponds to a high plasma β (~ 8) and the IMF has a significant radial component. Six flux ropes are identified. The motion of flux rope together with the maximum magnetic shear model suggests that the reconnection X-line swipes BepiColombo near the magnetic equator due to an increase of the radial IMF. The flux rope with the highest flux content contains a clear coalescence signature, i.e., two smaller flux ropes merging, supporting theoretical predictions the flux content of flux ropes can grow through coalescence. The secondary reconnection associated with coalescence exhibits a large normalized guide field and a reconnection rate comparable to the reconnection rate measured at the magnetopause (~ 0.1).
