La defensa de la especificidad española frente al advenimiento de la cultura liberal (1833-1839)
Authors: Blanchard Rubio Laetitia
Published: December 2020

Lors de la Première Guerre Carliste s’affrontent deux grands principes de gouvernement qui se fondent sur une interprétation divergente de la notion de civilisation. Les carlistes dénoncent les ravages de la nouvelle culture universaliste que leurs adversaires cherchent à implanter dans une Espagne soi-disant préservée de la « maladie » civilisatrice qui affecte les nations européennes. Cette réaction aux changements imposés par les libéraux implique l'éloge d'une culture basque qui se construit en contradiction avec celle que propose la capitale. Selon les défenseurs du carlisme, ces Espagnols exemplaires luttent pour sauver le type de culture qu'ils souhaitent non seulement pour l'Espagne, mais aussi pour l'ensemble des pays européens. Pour atteindre cet objectif, ils proposent une vision idéalisée du peuple basque. Cette représentation d'un peuple primitif, très proche du mythe de l'Âge d'Or ou de l'état de nature théorisé par Rousseau, se retrouve non seulement dans la propagande politique carliste, mais également sous la plume de nombreux libéraux dont la culture romantique les pousse à s'intéresser aux us et coutumes d'une société qui est en train de perdre ses valeurs et ses repères.

Authors: Solinas Andrea , Cau Luca , Fanari Massimiliano , Flaviani Ignazio , Manca Francesco , Melis Maurizio
Published: December 2020

Giant hydronephrosis in adults is a rare entity. It is defined as an extensive dilatation of the pyelocaliceal cavities occupying a large part of the abdominal cavity. Giant hydronephrosis is usually due to pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction and is usually diagnosed in children and infants. Ureterocele, which is a cystic dilatation of the terminal ureter, often drains the upper part of the kidney in patients with a duplex system. Massive hydronephrosis in a patient with duplex system and obstructive ureterocele was described by Aeron et al. in 2017. A thorough search of the major medical databases disclosed that no other cases have been reported since. We describe a second case of unilateral complete duplex system with ureterocele and massive hydronephrosis of the upper moiety in an adult man with intermittent abdominal pain associated with constipation and a decrease in appetite. The renal function of the left kidney was 8% of total function by radionuclide renal scan. The patient subsequently underwent left laparoscopic nephrectomy.

Published: December 2020

Objectives: Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common cause of acute kidney injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of butein on renal I/R injury. Materials and methods: Twenty-seven rats were randomly allocated to three groups (n = 9): a sham group, a renal I/Runtreated (control) group, and a renal I/R-butein group. The sham group underwent only opening and closing of the peritoneum. In the control group, an experimental I/R model was created and 1 cc isotonic saline was applied to the peritoneum. In the butein group, the experimental I/R model was created and 1 mg/kg butein was administered intraperitoneally 15 minutes before the beginning of ischemia. The left kidneys of the rats were histopathologically examined for tissue damage caused by I/R. Results: Histopathological examination of the tissue damage revealed that all kidneys in the sham group were normal. By contrast, 2 in the control group (22.2%) had small focal damaged areas, 1 (11.1%) had < 10% cortical damage, 5 (55.6%) had 10-25% cortical damage, and 1 (11.1%) had 25-75% cortical damage. The butein group had 1 (11.1%) normal kidney, 2 (22.2%) with small focal damaged areas, 4 (44.4%) with < 10% cortical damage, and 2 (22.2%) with 10-25% cortical damage. Tissue damage was significantly lower in the sham group than in the control and butein groups (p < 0.01). No statistically significant differences were observed in the histopathology of the control and butein groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Intraperitoneal administration of butein had no significant effect on renal tissue injury.

Published: December 2020

Aim: To date, various molecules have been investigated to reduce the effect of renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, none have yet led to clinical use. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effect of cordycepin (C) on renal I/R injury in an experimental rat model. Materials and methods: Twenty-four mature Sprague Dawley female rat was randomly divided into three groups: Sham, I/R, I/R+C. All animals underwent abdominal exploration. To induce I/R injury, an atraumatic vascular bulldog clamp was applied to the right renal pedicle for 60 minutes (ischemia) and later clamp was removed to allow reperfusion in all rats, except for the sham group. In the I/R + C group, 10 mg/kg C was administered intraperitoneally, immediately after reperfusion. After 4 hours of reperfusion, the experiment was terminated with right nephrectomy. Histological studies and biochemical analyses were performed on the right nephrectomy specimens. EGTI (endothelial, glomerular, tubulointerstitial) histopathology scoring and semi-quantitative analysis of renal cortical necrosis were used for histological analyses and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidant status (TOS) for biochemical analyses. Results: Histopathological examination of the tissue damage revealed that all kidneys in the sham group were normal. The I/R group had higher histopathological scores than the I/R + C group. In the biochemical analysis of the tissues, SOD, MDA, TOS values were found to be statistically different in the I/R group compared to the I/R + C group (p: 0.004, 0.004, 0.001 respectively). Conclusions: Intraperitoneal cordycepin injection following ischemia preserve renal tissue against oxidative stress in a rat model of renal I/R injury.

Authors: Ozer Cevahir , Tekin Mehmet Ilteris
Published: December 2020

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SWL treatment in elderly patients with kidney stones. Materials and methods: Data from a total of 3024 patients who underwent SWL treatment for urinary tract stone disease in three centers of our university were evaluated retrospectively. A total of 1433 patients in the adult age group treated for single kidney stones were included in the study. The patients were divided into 3 groups (18-40, 41-64 and ≥ 65) years depending on their age. Demographic data, stone parameters, stone-free rate (SFR) and clinically insignificant residual fragment (CIRF) rate, number of SWL sessions and complication rate were analyzed according to the age groups. Results: The mean age of the patients was 47.38 ± 13.24 years. Stone size was significantly lower in the 18-40 years age group compared to other groups (p = 0.000) and the stones were mostly located on the right side in this age group (p = 0.007). There was no significant relationship between age groups and gender, stone localization, and number of SWL sessions. The overall SFR was 66.4%. Although the SFR was lower (61.4%) and the rate of multiple sessions (27.2%) was higher in ≥ 65 years group, there was no statistically significant difference between age groups regarding SFR, CIRF, need for additional sessions, and complication rates. Conclusions: Due to its similar clinical results, treatment of SWL should not be ignored as a treatment option in the geriatric patient group with kidney stones.

Published: December 2020

Malposition of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulas is not frequently reported in central cannulation technique: we aimed to present an ECMO cannula malposition in follow-up in a neonate case. The patient was followed up three days on ECMO support with optimum hemodynamics. On the third day swelling occurred in the left face area within hours. Chest radiography showed that the arterial cannula tip was identified upwardly facing, which implied malposition of the cannula in the left carotid artery. After repositioning the cannula, swelling on the left side of the face completely disappeared in 4 hours. Clinicians should be alert for ECMO cannula malposition. Chest radiography which can be accessed quickly and easily can be beneficial for the diagnosis.

A Thorough knowledge and understanding of all echocardiographic view is essential for complete assessment of atrial septal defect, associated physiological status and assessment of neighbouring intracardiac structures. Complete evaluation is crucial for planning the modality of treatment whether it is suitable for catheter intervention or needs surgical intervention.
Aortic Arch Anomalies and Pulmonary Artery Anomalies : Echocardiographic Evaluation
Authors: Mahawar Prashant
Published: December 2020

Congenital variants and anomalies of the aortic arch are important to recognize as they may be associated with vascular rings, congenital heart disease, and chromosomal abnormalities, and can have important implications for prognosis and management. The purpose of this article is to describe the embryology and anatomy of the aortic arch system, discuss aortic arch variants and review other malformations of the aortic arch, including interrupted aortic arch (IAA), hypoplastic aortic arch, and coarctation of aorta. I have also described few anomalies of pulmonary artery (PA) origin and bifurcation like PA sling which has clinical presentation similar to vascular ring and anomalous origin of PA from aorta which present as large aorto-pulmonary communication with congestive heart failure. Aortic arch variants and anomalies will be reviewed in the context of a theoretical double aortic arch system. Arch anomalies can be associated with symptoms, such as dysphagia lusoria in the setting of left aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery. Arch variants that form a vascular ring, such as double aortic arch, can result in respiratory distress due to tracheal compression.
Vanishing Tumor of the Heart: Very Unusual Location of Left Ventricular Thrombus
Authors: Gurmukhani Sunil , Gupta Deebanshu , Mutha Samkit , Patel Aman , Shah Sanjay , Patel Tejas
Published: December 2020

Left ventricular (LV) cavity mass is common in clinical practice. Most of the time, it is a thrombus at the LV apex. Nonapical location of mass leads to confusion in the diagnosis with possibilities of tumors or vegetations. Here, we describe a case of LV thrombus in an extremely unusual location. Multimodality images helped us to come to a proper diagnosis. The mass vanished completely from LV cavity with medical management. Our case is unique, as presentation of clot was at very unusual location, only few such cases have been reported in literature. With the help of multimodality imaging, we were able to successfully manage the case conservatively with oral anticoagulation. Left ventricular thrombus is a common complication in patient with ischemic or nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Nonapical location of a thrombus is not only extremely rare but also creates diagnostic confusion. Although echocardiography is a screening imaging modality of choice, magnetic resonance imaging is extremely useful before planning surgical versus nonsurgical treatment option.
“It Never Hurts to Keep Looking for Sunshine”: The Motif of Depression in Works for Children and Youth Inspired by Classical Antiquity
Authors: Rejter Dorota , Paulouskaya Hanna , Gerus Angelina
Published: December 2020

The paper analyzes a handful of works for children and youth that are based on mythology and deal with depression, a topic that is becoming more frequent in contemporary children’s and young adults’ culture, mainly because of the need to break the mental he­alth taboo. These are the newest edition of Laura Orvieto’s Storie di bambini molto antichi (2014, first published in 1937), Rachel Smythe’s digital comics Lore Olympus (2018–2020), Patricia Satjawatcha­raphong’s short animation Reflection (2010), and the webcomic series Therapy created by Anastasia Gorshkova (2019–2020). They provide examples from literary and audio-visual culture for very young re­aders and more adult teenagers and youth, raising the issue of deep sadness utilizing storytelling and not in a didactic way. Some of the protagonists struggling with the problem are far from lively chara­cters in conventional interpretations of the myths (including Hades, Hydra, or Medusa), so the texts play upon stereotypes entrenched in the culture. It appears that children’s works inspired by classical antiquity have significant interpretative potential and educational value – as well as the ability to surprise the audience.

Authors: Mahmoud Ahmed , Bakr Ashraf , Elsaid Afaf , Wahba Yahya
Published: December 2020

Background: Limited data are available about the prevalence of helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection among primary NS children.

Objectives: To assess the frequency and risk factors of H.pylori infection among children with primary NS.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Mansoura University Children’s Hospital, Egypt during the period from 2017 to 2019 including 100 NS children (NS group) and 100 healthy controls. NS group included 88 steroid sensitive (SSNS) and 12 steroid resistant (SRNS) cases. All patients were assessed for H.pylori infection using H.pylori stool antigen (HpSA) test. Statistical analysis was done using chi-square, fisher exact and Mann-Whitney tests.

Results: With regard to HpSA test results, no significant differences were detected between control and NS groups (p = 0.193) and between SSNS and SRNS groups (p = 0.286). Concerning total biopsied cases and MCD (proven plus presumed) cases, no significant differences were found between those with positive and negative HpSA test (p = 0.648 and 0.126, re- spectively). The high dose of steroid therapy was associated with a higher risk of H.pylori infection among NS group (Odds ratio = 3.8; 95% confidence interval = 1.3-11.3).

Conclusion: The current study negates the increased risk of H.pylori infection in children with primary NS.

Keywords: Children; H.pylori; primary nephrotic syndrome.

Authors: C Onyishi Grace , C Nwosu Godwin , E Eyo Joseph
Published: December 2020

Background: A study on the biochemical indices of albino mice infected with Plasmodium berghei and treated with Alstonia boonei aqueous and ethanolic extracts was undertaken.

Methods: 216 males mice were randomly assigned to six treatment groups each containing six mice for both aqueous and ethanolic extracts experiments. P. berghei NK-65 was inoculated into the mice intraperitoneally and establishment of infection confirmed. Administration of extracts of was done after phytochemical and acute toxicity tests at varying concentrations, for both suppressive and curative tests. Blood samples collected by ocular puncturing were examined for the biochemical indices; ALT, AST, ALP, creatinine and total protein using the standard procedures.

Results: A. boonei extracts suppression of P. berghei in mice was comparable to the standard drug. Significantly higher (p<0.05) recovery of mice treated with A. boonei extracts was observed. The biochemical indices examined all had signif- icantly (p<0.05) increased concentration after 7 days post-infection, except for total protein concentration which had no significant increase or decrease due to A. boonei extracts administration.

Conclusion: The antiplasmodial potentials of A. boonei leaf and root extracts were dosage and duration-dependent, and have demonstrated satisfactory normalization of altered biochemical indices due to malaria.

Ectopic pregnancy in the ampulla of the fallopian tube at 16 gestational weeks: lessons from a case report
Authors: Chibuoke Ngene Nnabuike , Lunda Ongombe
Published: December 2020

Background: It is uncommon to find ampullary tubal pregnancy in the second trimester.

Methods: A 35-year-old G4P3 at 16 gestational weeks presented with a day history of sudden severe lower abdominal pain and no vaginal bleeding. The patient had a normal pulse of 82/minutes, haemoglobin concentration of 6.3 g/dl and ultrasonography showed an empty uterus with an alive fetus in the right adnexa. She was provisionally diagnosed to have an abdominal pregnancy.

Results: The patient had an emergency laparotomy where 2.2 L of haemoperitoneum and a slow-leaking right ampullary tubal pregnancy were found. Right total salpingectomy was performed and she had an uncomplicated post-operative fol- low-up. Histology of the lesion confirmed tubal pregnancy.

Conclusion: The growth of a pregnancy in the ampulla beyond the first trimester is possibly due to increased thickness and or distensibility of the fallopian tube. A tubal pregnancy may present with a normal pulse despite significant haemorrhage.

Keywords: Abdominal pain; ampullary tubal ectopic pregnancy; Bezold–Jarish-like reflex.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Nigeria has a large estimated burden of AIDS-related mycoses. We aimed to determine the proportion of pa- tients with AIDS-related opportunistic fungal infections (OFIs) at an urban antiretroviral treatment (ART) centre in Nigeria.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of a cohort of ART-naïve, HIV-infected patients, assessed for ART eligibility and ART- experience at the PEPFAR outpatient clinic at Lagos University Teaching Hospital over a 12-year period (April 2004-Feb- ruary 2016) was conducted.

Results: During this period, 7,034 patients visited the clinic: 4,797 (68.2%) were female; 6161 patients had a recorded base- line CD4 count, and the median CD4 count was 184 cells/µl (IQR, 84-328). A baseline HIV-1 viral load (VL) was recorded for 5,908 patients; the median VL was 51,194 RNA copies/ml (IQR, 2,316-283,508) and 6,179/7046(88%) had initiated ART. Some 2,456 (34.9%) had a documented opportunistic infections, of whom 1,306 (18.6%) had an opportunistic fungal infection. The total number of OFI episodes was 1,632: oral candidiasis (n=1,473, 90.3%), oesophageal candidiasis (n=118; 8%), superficial mycoses (n=23; 1.6%), Pneumocystis pneumonia (PJP) (n=13; 0.8%), and cryptococcal meningitis(CM) (n=5; 0.4%). 113 (1.6%) were known to have died in the cohort.

Conclusion: Approximately 1 in 5 HIV-infected patients in this retrospective cohort, most of whom had initiated ART, were clinically diagnosed with an OFI. Improved access to simple accurate diagnostic tests for CM and PJP should be pri- oritised for this setting.

Keywords: Opportunistic fungal infections; ART Adherence; Advanced HIV disease.

KANAL İSTANBUL İÇİN EMNİYETLİ BİR SEYİR ÖNERİSİ: ENTEGRE RÖMORKÖR–BARÇ SİSTEMİ
Authors: BAYIRHAN İrşad
Published: December 2020

2011 yılında resmi olarak açıklanan “Kanal İstanbul”; gemi trafiğinin rahatlatılması amacıyla tasarlanmış, İstanbul Boğazı’na alternatif bir suyolu projesidir. Gemi trafiğinin rahatlatılması hususundan asıl kasıt, İstanbul metropolüne yönelik önemli oranda risk oluşturan tanker trafiğinin Kanal İstanbul’a aktarılmasıdır. Belirlenen ebatlar doğrultusunda projeye yapılan eleştirilerin temelinde ise bir başka risk unsuru olan emniyetli seyir olanakları konusu ve bu anlamda ortaya çıkan daha düşük tonajlı taşımacılığın ekonomiklik ölçütü ön plana çıkmaktadır.

Aslında, Dünya’daki tüm yapay kanallarda (canal), doğal su geçitlerine (channel) nazaran proje oluşturulmadan evvel optimum geçiş yönetimi konusunda deniz taşımacılığının tarafları arasında benzer kaygılar yaşanmakta ve gerekli projeksiyon çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Aynı şekilde Kanal İstanbul için de bu tür çalışmalar yapılmış ve simülasyonlar navigasyon anlamında doğrulanmıştır. Burada kaygı yaratan asıl konu, simülasyonlarda esas alınan ebatlarda bir geminin mevcut filo ile kıyaslandığında ticari ve teknik anlamda ne ölçüde etkin olacağı sorunudur. Ancak böyle bir su geçidinin optimum kullanımı, bir takım ulaştırma mühendislik stratejileri ve kanal kullanımının rekabetçi ve çevreci yönünü ön plana alan bir sistem ile çözülebilir.

Bu çalışmada henüz yapımı tamamlanmayan Kanal İstanbul için en ideal taşıma sisteminin, entegre römorkör–barç sistemi (ITBS) olacağı düşünülmüştür. Dünya kanal ve suyolu taşımacılığında yaygın bir şekilde kullanılan ITBS sisteminin, mevcut su yollarının optimum kullanımına katkısı ve çevreci oluşu, bu çalışmanın ana motivasyon kaynağı olmuştur. Konu hakkında detaylı literatür çalışması yapılmış, bu taşıma şeklinin dünyadaki örnekleri incelenmiş ve Kanal İstanbul için kullanılabilir formu belirtilmiştir. Ayrıca Kanal İstanbul hakkında yapılan eleştiriler çalışmanın sorunlar kümesini oluşturmuş, bu sorunlara ise önerilen taşıma sisteminin kullanışlılığı ile makul çözümler sunulmuş, sistemin avantajları açıklanmıştır.

Published: December 2020

In an electric power grid connected wind generation system, dynamic control strategy is essential to use the wind energy efficiently as well as for an energy optimization. The present study has focused on decoupled power regulation of doubly fed induction generator, operating in wind turbine, in accordance with the vector control approach by applying fractional order proportional integral (FOPI) controller. The FOPI controller is designed based on a simple method; up such that the response of closed loop process is similar to the response of a specified fractional model whose transfer function is Bode’s ideal function. In this tuning operation, the parameters of the proposed fractional controller are established analytically using the impulse closed-loop response of the controlled process. To show the superior action of the developed FOPI controller in comparison with standard PI controller in different function conditions, the study is validated through simulation using the software MATLAB/Simulink

Published: December 2020

In this paper, we propose a new numerical method for ultrasonic pulse detection of an acoustics microwaves signal during the propagation of acoustics microwaves generated by piezoelectric substrate LiNbO3 Cut Y-X in ultrasonic transducer. We have used the classifications by support vector machines (SVM) , the originality of this method is it provides the accurate values and help us to identify undetectable waves that we can not identify with the classical methods; in which we classify all the values of the real part and the imaginary part of the coefficient attenuation with the acoustic velocity in order to build a model from which we note the Ultrasonic Pulse or microwaves acoustics ( bulk waves ). By which we obtain accurate values for each of the coefficient attenuation and acoustic velocity. This study will be very interesting in modeling and realization of acoustics microwaves devices (ultrasound) based on the propagation of acoustics microwaves.

Published: December 2020

Güneşlenme şiddeti (solar radyasyon), çeşitli fiziksel, kimyasal ve biyolojik süreçlerin enerji dengelerinde önemli bir rol oynar. Güneş enerjisinin ana parametresi olan güneşlenme şiddetinin miktarındaki değişimler, hidrolojik döngüyü, ekosistemi ve iklimin değişimini büyük ölçüde etkiler. Bunun yanında, güneş enerjisi, fosil yakıtlar gibi geleneksel kaynaklardan çok daha düşük bir çevre kirliliğine sahiptir. Dünyanın dört bir yanındaki tüm yenilenebilir ve sürdürülebilir enerji kaynaklarının en bol olanı güneş enerjisi, ticari olarak ta çok geniş çapta kullanılmaktadır. Bu nedenden dolayı, güneşlenme şiddetinin zamansal ve mekânsal değişimlerinin doğru belirlenmesi ve anlaşılması, meteorolojik ve hidrolojik süreçler, tarımsal ve endüstriyel üretim ile birlikte güneşten enerji üretimi açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Şanlıurfa iline ait, 1982-2010 yılları arasındaki yıllık ve aylık ortalama güneşlenme şiddeti değerleri parametrik olmayan Mann-Kendall ve Spearman’ın Rho ve Yenilikçi Şen Yöntemleri ile trend analizi yapılmıştır. Trend eğimleri ise Sen’in Trend Eğim Metodu ile yapılmıştır. İç bağımlılık etkilerinden arındırılmış zaman serilerinin trend analizi sonucunda, Mann-Kendall ve Spearman’ın Rho testlerinde sadece Mart ve Ekim aylarında anlamlı artan yönde trend belirlenmiştir. Ancak Şen’in trend testi ile yapılan trend analizi çalışmasında aylık ve yıllık güneşlenme şiddeti değerlerinde anlamlı artan yönde trend belirlenmiştir. Sen’in trend eğim metoduna göre en fazla artış yıllık 3.21 cal/cm2 ile Mayıs ayında, en az artış ise yıllık 0.44 cal/cm2 ile Şubat ayında gerçekleşmiştir.

Published: December 2020

Diante do processo de degradação do bairro do Recife, planos e projetos de requalificação urbana foram elaborados desde a década de 1970. Procurando dotar o bairro de novos equipamentos de turismo, lazer e adequá-lo para atividades da economia criativa, o grande projeto urbano da zona portuária foi concebido como parte da preparação da cidade para a Copa de 2014, sendo uma expressão do planejamento urbano estratégico. O presente artigo analisa a implementação do referido projeto, destacando os equipamentos implantados, os conflitos e contradições referentes ao uso e apropriação do espaço público. Para tanto, faz uma discussão sobre os planos e projetos que o antecederam, ressaltando o esforço do poder público e os interesses da iniciativa privada na requalificação desse bairro da área central da cidade. Um elemento positivo do projeto refere-se à conservação das estruturas degradadas. Porém, sua concepção é bastante seletiva, ao priorizar o consumo da classe média. Já a apropriação do espaço público vai na contramão, com a copresença de grupos citadinos “periféricos”, que deixam em evidência que o uso do espaço público é um direito à cidade

Authors: Lima Temóteo Camurça Wagneriana , De Carvalho Freitas Alves Lívia , Martins Cavalcanti Camilla
Published: December 2020

Objetiva-se neste artigo, através de pesquisa bibliográfica, de natureza qualitativa e com fins descritivos e exploratórios, analisar a atuação da Defensoria Pública diante das audiências de custódia implantadas no Brasil no início de 2015, como forma de se concretizar o direito constitucional do acesso à justiça (este, como uma das expressões dos direitos da pessoa humana) ao preso provisório. Delineia-se, ainda, o processo de implementação da audiência de custódia no Brasil e no Ceará bem como os meios usados para a viabilização desta, com o foco principal no mutirão realizado pelo Poder Judiciário cearense entre fevereiro e março de 2016. Inicialmente, descortinou-se os índices carcerários no sistema prisional brasileiro, atentando para o excesso de presos provisórios no país. Em seguida, abordou-se a noção de acesso à justiça, ao tempo em que se demonstrou o grave congestionamento dos processos criminais em todo o Judiciário e a sensação de que diante de tais fatos, o preso, especialmente o provisório, não consegue realizar tal direito fundamental. Após, elencou-se o conceito de audiência de custódia, expondo sua regulamentação e implementação no Brasil. Por fim, analisou-se o papel da Defensoria Pública dentro do instituto e como se deu o mutirão de audiência de custódia realizados em fevereiro de 2016 no Ceará. Concluiu-se, que a audiência de custódia é um instrumento válido para o acesso à justiça ao preso provisório, apesar de serem necessárias inúmeras melhorias para a realização de tais audiências.
Drogas nas Forças Armadas, perfil do usuário e persecução criminal:
Authors: Frota Bitencourt Nidival
Published: December 2020

Este trabalho objetiva traçar o perfil dos usuários de drogas nas Forças Armadas e analisar a inconvencionalidade do art. 290 do Código Penal Militar, que proíbe a posse de drogas para consumo pessoal em área sob administração militar. A pesquisa apontou que o referido dispositivo serve majoritariamente à incriminação de usuários de drogas, jovens cabos e soldados de 18 a 21 anos, de baixa renda e baixa escolaridade, a maioria dos quais prestando o serviço militar obrigatório, que, no momento do crime, estavam desarmados, não cumpriam serviço de escala e foram flagrados na posse de ínfima quantidade de maconha para consumo pessoal. Por se tratar de um grupo vulnerável, as Convenções da ONU sobre Drogas e a novel Resolução S-30/1 aprovada na Sessão Especial da Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas de 2016 (UNGASS 2016) exigem a implementação de medidas práticas pertinentes à faixa etária, bem como a proteção da saúde, da segurança e do bem-estar desses indivíduos. No entanto, ao invés de adotar tais medidas sociais e de saúde, o Brasil segue encarcerando usuários de drogas com base no art. 290 do CPM por até cinco anos. Portanto, tal dispositivo obsta o cumprimento do compromisso internacionalmente assumido pelo Brasil perante a UNGASS 2016 e vulnera as referidas Convenções da ONU. Ante o exposto, concluiu-se pela inconvencionalidade do art. 290 do CPM e a consequente descriminalização da posse de drogas para consumo pessoal em área sob administração militar.

Considerações sobre a decadência contra o beneficiário no âmbito do Direito Previdenciário
Authors: Levin Eduardo
Published: December 2020

O presente trabalho visa abordar algumas questões importantes sobre o instituto da decadência no Direito Previdenciário, no que diz respeito à decadência contra o beneficiário, não sendo incomuns as consultas dos assistidos da Defensoria Pública da União sobre suas possibilidades de revisão de seus benefícios, quando devemos obrigatoriamente enfrentar o tema, à luz da legislação vigente e da jurisprudência mais atual. Até 27 de junho de 1997, data da publicação da Medida Provisória nº 1523-9/97, depois convertida na Lei nº 9.528/97, a legislação previdenciária desconhecia o instituto da decadência. Tendo sido inserido no sistema um prazo para o exercício de direitos, por parte dos segurados, muitos foram os debates acerca da interpretação de sua verdadeira natureza, bem como sobre os contornos de sua aplicação às diversas situações que se apresentam na prática. Embora o Supremo Tribunal Federal, no julgamento do RE 626.489/SE, tenha pacificado alguns entendimentos sobre o tema, muitas outras questões controvertidas continuam em aberto, como as referentes à aplicação do prazo de decadência nas ações para reconhecimento de tempo de serviço ou contribuição, à aplicação do prazo de decadência para a revisão de benefício antecedente em caso de pensão por morte, à possibilidade de interrupção do prazo decadencial nos casos de requerimento administrativo, entre outras. O presente artigo procura trazer ao leitor o panorama atual do debate doutrinário e jurisprudencial sobre o tema.

Authors: Alves Cleber Francisco , Gonçalves Filho Edilson Santana , Rocha Jorge Bheron
Published: December 2020

Em novembro de 2019, na cidade de Rio de Janeiro, foi realizada a segunda edição do  PAINEL DE DEBATES do Grupo “ESCREVENDO A DEFENSORIA”, durante o qual foram apresentados trabalhos de Defensores Públicos de diversas regiões do Brasil, dos mais variados ramos da instituição, incluindo-se membros das Defensorias Públicas dos Estados e da Defensoria Pública da União. Foram admitidos à participação quaisquer interessados, desde que membros das referidas instituições, mediante a apresentação de “comunicações livres”, realizadas oralmente, sobre temas que haviam sido indicados em resumos escritos, previamente apresentados e aprovados pela comissão avaliadora. Para maior difusão e intercâmbio de ideias, esses resumos estão sendo agora publicados na Revista da Defensoria Pública da União. Os trabalhos apresentados no I Painel de Debates (que foi realizado em 2017) também foram publicados, no 11º número da Revista da Defensoria Pública da União. Há registro de que os trabalhos que fizeram parte daquela publicação foram citados em trabalhos científicos, o que revela o potencial estratégico do Painel para a pesquisa e divulgação institucional. O Grupo “Escrevendo a Defensoria” foi criado através do aplicativo de comunicações eletrônicas WhatsApp e é formado por Defensores Públicos e Defensoras Públicas engajados na produção científica, com desdobramentos não apenas teóricos, mas - e principalmente – práticos.
novo instituto do juiz das garantias no processo penal:
Authors: Matos Santos Francisco Geraldo , Lobato Martins Urá
Published: December 2020

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar a Lei nº 13.964, de 24 de dezembro de 2019, dandoseênfase aos impactos legais orçamentários decorrentes da criação do juiz das garantias. A problemática reside no fato de que algumas alterações decorrentes do novo pacote anticrime acarretam custos, devendo ocorrer um estudo prévio com relação ao impacto econômico e orçamentário decorrente de tal mudança. A pesquisa foi orientada pelas seguintes questões norteadoras: o novo pacote anticrime observou a necessidade de estudo prévio com relação ao impacto econômico e orçamentário decorrentes da criação do juiz das garantias? Quais os limites constitucionais e legais para a criação de novos cargos? Para responder tais questões, utilizou-se o método hipotético-dedutivo, com pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, através de abordagem qualitativa.

PENGEMBANGAN PULAU TARAKAN SEBAGAI PANGKALAN MILITER UDARA UTAMA DI WILAYAH KALIMANTAN UTARA (STUDI KASUS: LANUD ANANG BUSRA - TARAKAN, KALIMANTAN UTARA)
Authors: Azzqy Andrea Abdul Rahman , Puspitasari Anggun
Published: December 2020

Pada teori keamanan nasional, terdapat beberapa alasan mengapa penyelidikan ilmiah dalam keamanan intelijen merupakan suatu analisis penting terutama untuk mengurangi ketidak-akuratan data dalam suatu perumusan kebijakan. Pada lingkungan strategis yang kompleks, aktifitas atau peristiwa kecil sekalipun dalam pembentukan kebijakan keamanan dapat mengakibatkan efek yang luar biasa dan bersifat konfliktual karena memiliki variabel-variabel sensitif. Dengan demikian dapat dilihat bahwa terdapat urgensi untuk meminimalisir ketidakpastian strategis dalam produk analisis mengenai suatu kebijakan keamanan, salah satunya adalah mengenai pengamanan daerah perbatasan. Dalam konteks Indonesia, terdapat beberapa variabel yang harus dikaji terkait dengan perencanaan pembangunan infrastruktur pertahanan di daerah perbatasan terluar. Salah satu variabel utama adalah aspek sosial budaya untuk mengukur keterbukaan masyarakat terhadap pembangunan infrastruktur keamanan. Kesediaan dan keterbukaan masyarakat merupakan salah satu indicator utama kesuksesan sebuah penerapan kebijakan. Selaras dengan hal tersebut, pada penelitian ini akan difokuskan kajian mengenai Pengembangan Pulau Tarakan Sebagai Pangkalan Militer Udara Utama di Wilayah Kalimantan Utara dengan Studi Kasus: Lanud Anang Busra - Tarakan, Kalimantan Utara. Analisis terhadap peran dan keberadaan Kapal perang dan Pesawat TNI di wilayah perbatasan terluar Indonesia sebagai salah satu infrastruktur pertahanan harus dikorelasikan dengan kondisi keterbukaan masyarakat wilayah perbatasan di tempat tersebut, serta berbagai kepentingan nasional yang harus diamankan. Data dalam penelitian ini akan diolah dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif untuk memahami perspektif masyarakat dengan mendalam.
