The Nothing, the Void and the Silence in the Art of Yves Klein. A Phenomenological Interpretation
Authors: Pop Mihaela
Published: August 2023

This paper intends to offer an example of the way philosophy and artistic creativity could be connected. Using philosophical concepts and their profound meanings one can get a deeper and larger image of what art could reveal. We are going to use the already mentioned concepts as they were studied by two of the most relevant philosophers, Hegel and Heidegger. Those concepts prove their utility in the understanding of how the human thought functions and how it is capable to make the human being aware of his condition and also to make possible the human creativity, in art especially. We will discover that this process of creativity is based on the freedom of the human consciousness capable to surpass the nature restrictions imposed by human natural condition. This freedom of consciousness develops during life and experience and generates all the individual diversity. The human being as consciousness gets thus a wider capacity of expression assured by the wide range of determinations the thought gets during life. The artist is one of those capable to express this in various symbolic forms using however simple materials. The artistic works reflect thus exactly the superior consciousness and self-consciousness to which the artist elevates himself proving thus the ontological character of the human thought. We chose the works made by Yves Klein, a French artist of the mid of the 20th century.
Strategic Ambiguity and Article VII: Why the Framers Decided Not to Decide
Authors: Hills, Jr. Roderick M.
Published: August 2023

The U.S. Constitution ratified in 1788 contains a lot of appar-ently ambiguous language—abstract phrases like “executive pow-er,” “judicial power,” and “necessary and proper”—the meaning of which seemed to be reasonably debatable. The array of approaches to constitutional interpretation dubbed “originalist” all share the ambition of eliminating these apparent ambiguities by careful ex-humation of facts about linguistic usage and constitutional purposes in existence when the Constitution was ratified. This article argues that Article VII’s two-stage ratification process is one such original fact suggesting that apparently ambiguous language ought to be construed as deliberately ambiguous. That process gave the drafters at the Philadelphia convention (the first stage) incentives to choose deliberately ambiguous language as a strategy to mollify critics of the Constitution in the state ratifying conventions (the second stage). The drafters at Philadelphia were overwhelmingly drawn from “Federalists”—politicians who favored a strong national government. Because critics of cen-tralization (dubbed “Anti-Federalists” by their Federalist oppo-nents) were simply not present in significant numbers at the draft-ing stage, the Federalists could not use clarifying amendments to determine precisely what their opponents would tolerate in the ratifying conventions. Because Article VII did not permit the state ratifying conventions to approve clarifying amendments, the rati-fication process created a risk that, offended by specific language in an unamendable proposal, Anti-Federalist ratifiers would reject the entire proposal and doom the project of a stronger central gov-ernment that everyone desired. By proposing and approving delib-erately ambiguous language, Federalist drafters and Anti-Federalist ratifiers could sidestep their most intractable disagreements, mak-ing deliberate ambiguity a rational strategy for facilitating ratifica-tion. Moreover, this rational strategy is also normatively attractive. The critics of the Constitution deeply resented the Article VII pro-cess as an unjust device for “driving [the Constitution] down our throats.” By reducing the power of the Federalist agenda-setters to force through specific constitutional language with a reversion threat, the presumption of ambiguity respects contemporary norms of fair dealing, thereby advancing the goal of popular sovereignty with which Federalists defended the Constitution’s legitimacy.
The Executive Branch and the Origins of Judicial Independence
Authors: Arlyck Kevin
Published: August 2023

The early history of the federal judiciary as an independent branch of American government presents a puzzle. How did an institution that barely existed as a separate entity before the American Revolution be¬come coequal, and in some ways preeminent? Most accounts of the judiciary’s rise tell a story in which the courts consolidated their authority—especially the power of judicial review—by tacitly agreeing to withdraw from partisan politics. This article considers early judicial independence through a differ¬ent lens—the idea that the executive and legislative branches cannot interfere with judicial proceedings. This notion, which seems self-evident to us now, was less clear at the Founding. State legislatures in the 1780s routinely overrode judicial decisions, and it was not until the 1820s that courts seriously began to question the practice. As this article shows, the most insistent assertions of judicial invio¬lability came not from courts, but instead from the executive branch officials—in large part because they had little other choice. With a threadbare bureaucracy and no standing army, the early federal gov¬ernment existed more in theory than in fact. What it had was courts, which sat in every major port city and enjoyed broad jurisdiction over maritime matters. Forcing foreign disputants to adjudicate their claims in court spared the executive from making decisions that risked anger¬ing powerful European empires, and enabled it to leverage judicial resources to solve problems it could not manage on its own. In so doing, executive officers helped transform a still-undefined concept of judicial independence into a putatively hard barrier between the branches.

Authors: Slobodzian Nilton , Lima Renato Abreu , Pantoja Tatyanna Mariúcha de Araújo
Published: August 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho foi dar continuidade ao monitoramento, feito na pesquisa publicada por Melo; Lima; Pantoja (2019), nos pontos de ocorrência de ariranhas (Pteronura brasiliensis), no igarapé Esperança em zona urbana de Benjamin Constant-AM. No intuito de entender a conservação e implicações para a ocorrência da espécie, foi realizado um diagnóstico ambiental na área onde foi relatada a ocorrência da espécie durante o período da pesquisa e, apontadas possíveis interferências antrópicas que se relacionam direta ou indiretamente com a presença das mesmas no referido igarapé. Apesar do menor número de ocorrências da espécie no período, (se comparado com o anterior) atribuídas ao baixo nível das águas do Rio Javari e do igarapé Esperança, e também à menor precipitação de chuvas no ano de 2018 (se comparado aos anos anteriores), conseguimos dar continuidade ao monitoramento, sendo incluído um novo ponto de observações. Os dados aqui levantados denotam a necessidade de dar continuidade ao trabalho de monitoramento, buscando encontrar soluções para os problemas ora relacionados com as interações entre ariranhas-população humana-igarapé.

Authors: Dias Matheus de Souza , De Melo Brenda Barbosa , Santos Vandreza Souza dos , Lima Renato Abreu
Published: August 2023

A cutia (Dasyprocta spp) é um roedor silvestre e encontra-se em condições críticas devido à ação antrópica e degradação do seu habitat natural. Com isso, o objetivo deste trabalho é identificar as principais interferências antrópicas no habitat das cutias na BR 307 em Benjamin Constant AM. Os dados foram obtidos a partir de buscas de evidências em campo, diretas ou indiretas. Os resultados obtidos pelas idas a campo comprovam a presença da espécie no local através das observações feitas e sua alimentação se dá por frutos que auxilia ecologicamente na manutenção das florestas por meio da dispersão. A ocorrência das cutias na plantação da maioria dos agricultores vem aumentando significativamente, pois há relatos de todos os dias a ocorrência das mesmas nos plantios em busca de alimentar-se de mandioca. Quanto ao destino que se tem tomado e que ainda se estabelecerá envolvendo esta espécie na área de estudo, elencamos como primordial ação, o estabelecimento de diálogo com os agricultores no sentido de melhorar as relações interespecíficas entre as duas espécies.
AGENDA AMBIENTAL NA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA (A3P): ANÁLISE DA ADERÊNCIA DE UMA AUTARQUIA FEDERAL – RIO DE JANEIRO/RJ
Authors: Vieira Igor Laguna , Silva Elmo Rodrigues da
Published: August 2023

Na gestão ambiental pública é necessária a atuação ativa dos órgãos, não somente na regulação e fiscalização, mas também na execução de suas próprias atividades. Nesse sentido, os governos vêm implantando programas e projetos para estimular os gestores públicos em práticas que incentivem a responsabilidade socioambiental no setor, podendo-se citar, a esse exemplo, a Agenda Ambiental na Administração Pública (A3P), criada pelo Ministério do Meio Ambiente. Este artigo apresenta e discute os resultados de uma pesquisa qualiquantitativa que avaliou o grau de aderência de uma autarquia federal, localizada no Rio de Janeiro/RJ, aos eixos da A3P. O estudo ocorreu na sede do órgão, que consiste em duas edificações localizadas na mesma rua, com área total edificada de aproximadamente de nove mil metros quadrados, onde são executadas somente atividades administrativas. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo junto aos setores da organização, no intuito de verificar as ações de sustentabilidade socioambiental desenvolvidas pela autarquia. Foram solicitados também dados e documentos aos gestores que pudessem subsidiar tal verificação. Foi desenvolvida então uma lista de verificação a partir das práticas sugeridas nos documentos de referência da A3P. Após a aplicação da lista, foi obtida uma aderência de apenas 26% aos eixos da A3P, o que permite concluir que há deficiência na gestão socioambiental da organização, que deve incentivar mais práticas que reduzam possíveis impactos que estão sendo causados pela sua atividade.

A preocupação mundial frente à gestão dos resíduos sólidos se dá, principalmente, devido aos novos hábitos de consumo. Deste modo, a reciclagem torna-se uma alternativa para reintrodução destes resíduos ao ciclo produtivo. Contudo, para tanto, é necessário o efetivo engajamento do cidadão, entretanto, desafios devem ser superados relativos à forma como os indivíduos se envolvem nestas questões. Assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar a importância do engajamento dos cidadãos no descarte de resíduos sólidos recicláveis, em Belo Horizonte - MG. Para tanto, foram consultados documentos emitidos pela prefeitura e dados reportados pela Superintendência de Limpeza Urbana do município, o que permitiu se identificar um déficit da participação social na coleta seletiva. Tal resultado é possivelmente reflexo do baixo engajamento em políticas públicas de conscientização sobre a importância da reciclagem, além das questões culturais. Portanto, o município deve ampliar e aplicar novas iniciativas que visem à Educação Ambiental.

Testing the asymmetry hypothesis of tolerance: Thinking about socially disruptive protest actions
Authors: Verkuyten Maykel , Yogeeswaran Kumar , Adelman Levi
Published: August 2023

Under the asymmetry hypothesis, political tolerance and intolerance differ in their underlying psychology, making it easier to persuade the tolerant to become less tolerant than to convince the intolerant to become more tolerant. Using a representative sample of the Dutch population (N = 546), we examined this hypothesis for people’s tolerance or intolerance of socially disruptive protest actions of their least-liked group. Focusing on the relevant contrasting values of freedom of speech and public order, we found empirical evidence for the asymmetry of political tolerance: it was easier to persuade the tolerant to become less tolerant than to convince the intolerant to become more tolerant. In fact, we found a backlash effect among the intolerant participants with them showing higher intolerance as a result. These findings support the notion that tolerance is more fragile than intolerance because of the required self-restraint that involves psychological discomfort and uneasiness. However, tolerance is indispensable for our increasingly polarized liberal democratic societies making further research on the social psychology of tolerance and intolerance topical and urgent.

Authors: Cornejo Zapata Christian
Published: August 2023

La educación constituye una base muy importante en la sociedad, pues garantiza su desarrollo. Sin embargo, el actual escenario frente a la pandemia ha puesto en riesgo el acceso a educación de muchos niños peruanos. El presente estudio tiene como finalidad analizar los factores que afectan al acceso a la educación remota durante el estado de emergencia en Perú en el año 2020, para lo cual se utilizó la base de datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares. La investigación es de orden descriptivo y correla­cional. Se utilizó la estadística inferencial, en tanto que para el análisis econométrico se tomó en cuenta un modelo Probit. Los resultados muestran que existe una brecha de recursos tecnológicos, puesto que en las zonas rurales la diferencia en acceso a internet es de 20.35% mientras que en las zonas urbanas la diferencia es de solo 1.74%. De igual forma se pone en evidencia que los menores ingresos están asociados a familias en que el 29.99% de sus niños no asisten a la escuela por problemas económicos. Ade­más se estima que los factores dependencia económica, barreras de acceso a tecnología, pobreza y zona de residencia, incrementan la probabilidad de que un hogar con niños que no asisten a la escuela. Finalmente, se concluye que la desigualdad de acceso a tecnologías de comunicación y vulnerabilidad socioeconómica de la familia genera una barrera de acceso a la educación para los niños en el Perú.

In addition, the interview results revealed that the use of PBL affects students' engagement in a positive way and improves their motivation towards learning English. Furthermore, few challenges were also reported to provide sufficient information about the difficulties that teachers and students may encounter while using PBL.

This study aimed at investigating the reality of cross-training in Hebron Municipality, and the challenges that face its implementation. It also aims at providing appropriate proposals to develop this type of training and apply it to the employees of administration, departments, and sections at the municipality. The researchers used a descriptive exploratory approach, and a qualitative methodology to collect the data through structured and unstructured interviews on a purposive sample that included managers and heads of units. The population of the study included all of the (70) managers and heads of units in Hebron Municipality. A first purposive sample of (5) of them was taken, then a second purposive sample of (17) from the managers and head of department. The sample included those who implement "cross-training" even partially and informally to overcome operational difficulties that face them at work. After that, the interviews were analyzed. The study concluded with several outcomes, most notably, was that there is a partial application of cross-training in some administrations, departments, and sections without having any knowledge about it. This application is unofficial, and it is with individual initiatives by some managers of departments, and heads of sections, with the aim of facing operational difficulties facing them because of the absence of some of their employees from their work, or even facing the pressure of work with them. In light of these findings, the researchers recommended adopting the concept of "cross training" by the municipal administration, formally and within a systematic plan. They also need to limit jobs that are performed individually, or by a limited number of employees, so that the absence of one of them negatively affects the performance of work in their department. Moreover, they need to apply the concept of job rotation in the relevant departments to develop employees’ capabilities, provide them with expertise and skills of various jobs in the municipality, and create an official department concerned with implementing "cross-training" within a systematic plan that includes all municipal employees.
