Inflammatory process activates the immune system through pro-inflammatory mediators and subsequent triggers transformation into malignant cells. Some tumors or cancers has been associated with chronic infections, such as hepatitis B and C viruses (hepatocellular carcinoma), human papilloma virus (cervical cancer), Helicobacter pylori (gastric cancer and lymphoma), and prostatitis (prostate cancer). A considerable study have investigated the benefits of aspirin for the prevention and treatment of cancer or tumors. Objectives: This paper aims to describe the relationship between inflammation and cancer incidence, so that use of aspirin as an anti-inflammatory agent is a rational choice in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Conclusion: Aspirin potential for chemoprevention of various types of cancer. Considering the high risk of side effects of aspirin, aspirin is not intended as a routine therapy to prevent the occurrence of cancer.

Published: February 2018

Background. The incidence of Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) in extraintestinal E. coli has become a global problem in the world. In Indonesia, the greatest resistance to the uropathogen E. coli is resistant to ampicillin (91.9%), ciprofloxacin (83.7%) and cefixime (67.6%). Therefore it takes effort for the treatment of MDR uropathogen E. coli, one of them are development of new antibiotics from herbal isolates of Garcinia mangostana L., a-mangosteen. This study examined the activity of a-mangosteen in vitro on the growth of MDR uropathogen E. coli.Methods. Treatment of uropathogen E. coli is performed in vitro, using a-mangosteen with a range of levels 14 - 450 �g/mL. The antibacterial activity of a-mangosteen is measured by determine at the growth or death of bacteria at each concentration using indirect methods, which is absorbance reading. Uropathogen E. coli that had been treated with various concentration of a-mangosteen incubated for 18-20 hours, then read an absorbance at wavelenght 625 nm using a spectrophotometer.Result. The Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of a-mangosteen in this study was 450 �g/mL. Based on the linear regression (STATA 13.1) relationship between concentration of a-mangosteen and activity of growth inhibition of bacteria, obtained the F test value 0.0001 < 0.05, states that all concentrations of a-mangosteen simultaneously have a significant influence on the growth of uropathogen E. coli.Conclusion. MIC value is relatively large causing a-mangosteen activity against Gram-negative bacteria needs to be studied further. Potentially relevant activity in the clinic will occur if the value of in vitro MIC < 100 �g/mL. Likewise, the pharmaceutical industry prefers the development of antibiotics that have in vitro MIC values = 2 �g/mL.

A Universalidade da Democracia no Enfoque da Cultura Argumentativa para a Emancipação Humana: a Complementaridade entre a Abordagem Pragmática de Amartya Sen e Pragmática Formal de Habermas
Authors: Vanzella José Marcos Miné , Rampazzo Lino
Published: February 2018

O presente ensaio tem por objetivo contribuir com o debate sobre o valor e universalidade da democracia para a emancipação humana. Propõe pensar a compreensão da universalidade da democracia no enfoque abrangente da cultura argumentativa, a partir de Amartya Sen e Jürgen Habermas. Entende que as abordagens metodológicas, pragmática de um e pragmática formal do outro dos autores são complementares. Nesta perspectiva procura demonstrar que a democracia, além de suas raízes institucionais modernas, vincula-se também a expressões culturais da Índia, África e América pré-colombiana. Portanto não é mera expressão de domínio cultural e político ocidental, mas desenvolvimento de uma tendência profunda de governo mediante a discussão e razão pública. O que permite recepcionar de um ponto de vista mais amplo a contribuição do pensamento de Habermas que explicita o nexo interno entre Justiça, Direitos Humanos e Democracia, na perspectiva procedimental de uma esfera pública  crítica  com  uma  racionalidade  pública  que  inclui  a  todos.  Apresenta  o desenvolvimento das capacidades políticas e sociais, bem como o papel instrumental da democracia, na construção da compreensão dos direitos e da cultura que permitem o aprendizado, a emancipação e o desenvolvimento da própria identidade.
A Interpretação Dentro e Fora da Moldura: o Pensamento Jurídico Hermenêutico de Kelsen e seus Desafios no Século XXI
Authors: Corrêa Bianca Kremer Nogueira , Alves Natalia Silveira
Published: February 2018

O presente artigo tem o escopo de analisar as influências deixadas por Hans Kelsen e sua Teoria Pura do Direito para a Hermenêutica Jurídica e as incertezas ainda presentes em sua clássica obra sobre o processo interpretativo. O positivismo kelseniano, reconhecido pela separação entre direito e moral, não se omitiu quanto à realidade da interpretação jurídica, e, sem desconsiderar suas bases teóricas, deixou diretrizes para a consolidação de uma teoria da interpretação. Kelsen desenvolveu o conceito de moldura normativa como um limite para o intérprete autêntico da norma cuja subjetividade influenciaria o processo interpretativo, mas também viu possibilidades de interpretações fora desta moldura. O trabalho pretende entender estas possibilidades de interpretação, analisando Hans Kelsen e seus ensinamentos sobre interpretação jurídica.
Teorias Feministas do Direito: Contribuições a uma Visão Crítica do Direito
Authors: Santos Marina França
Published: February 2018

O presente trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de reunir as visões críticas do Direito trazidas pelos estudos feministas e refletir sobre as contribuições desses estudos para o pensamento  jurídico  contemporâneo.  Para  atingir  esse  propósito,  foi  adotada,  como referencial teórico, a classificação das correntes teóricas feministas do Direito proposta por Lacey  (2004).  O  trabalho  se  insere  em  um  esforço  ainda  minoritário  no  Brasil,  e relativamente recente no estudo da Filosofia do Direito, de inclusão das teorias feministas nos debates filosófico-jurídicos e de investigação do Direito a partir da compreensão da justificativa e do modo como as mulheres ocupam uma posição desfavorecida na sociedade. Conclui-se que o desenvolvimento da crítica ao Direito e a consequente ampliação da concretização  dos  propósitos  jurídicos  de  liberdade  e  de  igualdade  dependem  do aprofundamento da análise das questões de gênero no Direito, contribuições que podem ser obtidas das teorias feministas estudadas.

Authors: Eccard Ana Flávia Costa , Silva Leonardo Rabelo de Matos
Published: February 2018

O presente trabalho visa compreender as contribuições de Warat para uma visão nãoengessada do ensino jurídico. Trata-se de analisar a dogmática jurídica a partir de uma desconstrução que se dá no entrelaçamento entre Direito e Arte, perpassando pelo amor. Há ainda uma necessidade de ter uma cosmovisão para transformar a dogmática jurídica em um ensino jurídico plural, para isso é necessário sair da ordem (cosmos) e encontrar a desordem (caos) e o professor tem papel fundamental nessa transformação, pois este seduz e liberta. Essa didática libertadora é conduzida por uma concepção diferenciada entre razão e emoção.

A Estratégia Institucional do Supremo Tribunal Federal no Processo Legislativo
Authors: Bentes Fernando Bentes
Published: February 2018

A Constituição Federal brasileira fixou um desenho estrutural de competências que permite uma ampla atuação do Supremo Tribunal Federal sobre a vida social e os ramos de governo. No entanto, a análise da teoria institucionalista estratégica sobre os julgados relativos ao processo legislativo federal demonstra que não há um panorama assimétrico entre os departamentos estatais. Na verdade, o jogo entre poderes pode criar cenários conjunturais que libertam decisões baseadas na preferência individual dos julgadores ou que restringem a autonomia da Corte quando críticas ou retaliações externas ameaçam sua permanência e autoridade.

The Role of ‘Prediction Strategy’ in Reading Comprehension
Authors: KUŞDEMİR Yasemin
Published: February 2018

Reading comprehension is

deduction of meaning from the text and the structuring of it in the mind.

Strategies used in the reading process have an important place in the

development of reading comprehension skills. Strategies such as activating

preliminary information, determining the purpose of reading, forecasting,

taking notes, summarizing, subject/main idea distinction, questioning,

inferring, etc. are some of the strategies used by a good reader in the reading

process. One of these is the "prediction" strategy. Prediction is

making an estimation based on some evidence and data, on a possible future

situation. Prediction gives a reason to read; it is used to find out what is

right and what is wrong. Predictions serve as guiding points within the text.

Students put forth a purpose to read when they make predictions, and

expectations arise about what they will read. The predictions made prior to the

reading give the student the opportunity to develop a reading plan for him/her

and to discuss the topic. Before the teachers begin their reading studies, they

should enable students to share, write and explain their predictions about the

text through question-answers and through picture analysis and key words.

The products obtained in this area provide a significant contribution to the national economies. However, the number of organisms causing the decline in crop yield is quite high. The preferred applications for combating harmful organisms are the use of chemical insecticides. However, the high level of side effects of these insecticides led researchers to alternative study areas. Insecticide production through natural products that is under the title of biological struggle, is within popular areas. Lichens are also materials for natural insecticide sources due to their unique constituents in the constructions. For many years, the toxic effects of lichens utilized in many fields on different insect species have been tested through their extracts and pure components. At this point, it is noteworthy that while high yield is obtained from lichens, the studies are predominantly carried out on the extracts.

This is because service quality is considered as an important aspect for the success of the service provider. This study aims to assess the service quality of PT. TELKOM for IndiHome products. A preliminary study showed that there are many customers complaining about IndiHome's service quality. In addition, the tight competition and the emergence of several similar service providers as well as attractive promotion will inevitably attract customers not to be loyal if PT. TELKOM does not immediately improve the quality of the service. This research was conducted not only to assess the service quality of IndiHome (using SERVQUAL), but also to give some recommendations to PT. TELKOM especially Regional 1 Sumatra in order to attain customer satisfaction. There were 153 respondents who participated in this study.

TELKOM, but in reality the performance of the service is not as high as their expectations. Therefore, some recommendations are given to improve the performance of IndiHome’s service quality so that the customers are satisfied.
