GLOBAL ONGOING TRENDS IN DRUG DESIGNING FOR THE TREATMENT OF TYPE 2 DIABETES AND NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES
Authors: Choudhury Nandita , Kumar Kartavya
Published: September 2021

T2D and neurodegenerative disorders are the diseases which increases with the age of people. T2D is described by hyperglycaemia, insulin opposition or relative absence of insulin take-up though NDs are described by the decrease in intellectual capacity, diffuse of the amyloid plaques & neurofibrillary tangles in AD and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, prompting a decrease of striatal dopamine (DA) levels in Parkinsonâ€™s sickness or disease. Knowing the neurodegenerative infections is critical in guaranteeing sound matured life. Although a few instances of familial neurodegenerative messes have been accounted for, yet the instrument for inconsistent neuronal degeneration remains generally in the shade [1]. Since traditional medications neglect to outperform the regular CNS defensive hindrances, along these lines, all together to conquer these obstacles, designated drug conveyance is of first importance for the treatment of Advertisement and Parkinsonâ€™s disease. New age of medications has found through creative nanotechnology approaches, for example, polymeric nanoparticles are encouraginggenerators in the sighting of Promotion in light of the fact that nanoparticles are equipped for opening the tight intersections, crossing the BBB[2]. In this way, we can receive the updated things and fresher techniques, for example, nanotechnological, computational and quality treatment approaches for drug plan and conveyance.

Climate change has changed seasons, affecting the indoor temperature of buildings and causing a strong feeling of discomfort, especially in hot weather. This feeling of discomfort is mainly due to thermal inertia. The aim of this work is to reduce the indoor temperature of buildings by using a new brick with a low thermal inertia. As part of this work we have designed a brick with the same characteristics as the ordinary ones but which are perforated so that in the construction of the wall they form a conduit for the transport of air. The latter thus acts as a heat transfer fluid in its upward convective movement, bringing with it the heat stored in the wall. In order to improve thermal exchange, an air-extractor roller system has been installed. This air extractor allows to increase convection in the walls, reducing thermal inertia and implicitly improving thermal comfort.

Background: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is usually under diagnosed in resource-constrained countries as Africa. Although Real-time-reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing is considered to be the gold standard tool to diagnose or screen for COVID-19, chest imaging is a valuable tool to support the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia. Therefore, Radiologists usually play an important role in the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia, especially in resource-constrained environments. This study aimed to evaluate the patterns of chest CT findings in covid-19 pneumonia and to emphasize its diagnostic value in coronavirus disease. Materials and Method: This study was a retrospective cross-sectional study conducted in a reputable diagnostic center in Port Harcourt and comprised of 13 chest CT images diagnosed of Covid-19 pneumonia that met the inclusion criteria set for this study. All the chest CT examinations were performed by registered radiographers on a 64-slice CT scanner (GE Optima CT660, GE medical systems). Results: Chest CT findings in patients with confirmed covid-19 infection was evaluated and the results revealed that 13 (100%) had GGO. Out of 13 patients with GGO, bilateral distribution of the opacities was found in 11(84.62%), followed by peripheral opacities 9(69%) and the least 2 (15.38%) was unilateral distribution. Conclusion: The commonest chest CT appearance of covid-19 pneumonia is bilateral GGO with a predilection for the lower lobes of the lungs. Radiologists and clinicians should take cognizance of imaging appearances and diagnostic capabilities of Chest CT in covid-19 pneumonia, especially in the context of the current pandemic.

A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF POLICIES TO FIGHT ILLITERACY AND SCHOOL DROPOUT IN RURAL MOROCCO
Authors:   Research Scholar, Faculty of Education Sciences (FSE), Mohammed V University, Rabat-Morocco., Nait Belaid Youssef
Published: September 2021

Why, despite enormous efforts to reduce illiteracy and dropout rates in Morocco, are rural populations the most affected by these two scourges? The dominant explanation is the limited provision of education and literacy in rural areas. Previous studies in the fields of sociology of education and educational policy management have analyzed the problems of illiteracy and school dropout separately. These studies have not been comprehensive enough to explain the complex relationships between illiteracy, school dropout and the new dynamics of rural areas. Thus, this article aims to analyze the national strategies for education and literacy in rural areas in Morocco, and to show their limitations, in terms of quantitative and qualitative achievements. We believe that actions to combat illiteracy and school dropout, particularly in rural areas, must be comprehensive and more integrated. This is why we propose some improvements for the success of the national framework of intervention in education and literacy.

One of the effective techniques which has evolved in contemporary orthopaedic practice is C-arm ï¬‚uoroscopy in intra-operative orthopaedic procedures. Such techniques improve the competence of the surgeon while reducing the jejuneness and duration of the patients stay at hospital. Although having awareness about reported benefits of the device, there is increasing worry over the surgical teams elevated radiation exposure. The current research was undertaken on orthopaedic surgeons working in the region of Central India to assess the amount of radiation exposure if they follow the normal precautionary steps as well as to raise awareness and encouraging them to use the image intensifier safety in daily practice. In addition, to raise concerns of radiation safety and the befitting use of radiation in the operating room.Materials and Method: This is an observational review of data gathered by residents performing common orthopedic surgical operations in emergency and routine OT during one-year residency at a medical college hospital. We calculated the mean radiation exposure on each resident (orthopedic resident postgraduate-3yr) with and without lead apron protection, and compared it with the ICRP limit for radiation to body per year between 1st January 2020 and 31st December 2021.Result: Total radiation levels accumulated by one resident without lead apron over 1 year was calculated (35.88 milliSv). which was greater to ICRP limit for radiation to body per year (20milliSv).Total radiation levels accumulated by one resident with lead apron over 1 year was calculated (2.04 mSv).which was less than ICRP limit for radiation to body per year (20mSv).Conclusion: Orthopedic resident surgeons are not listed as Radiation personnel. Radiation toxicity, in addition to the risks of other surgical industries, is therefore an additional occupational danger. As a result, orthopedic resident surgeons should be concerned. During surgeries, junior orthopaedic residents vastly underestimate their level of radiation. They should adhere to the guidelines outlined above. The conventional assertion that radiation exposures during c arm use are negligible and should be disregarded, as the long-term adverse biological effects of continuous low-dose radiation exposure are uncertain at this time. Theres a chance of cancer, as well as genetic variations and fertility complications.

Aim of this research was to get insight into mistakes that occur while blind and visually impaired students, and students with no visual disabilities, when writing by dictation. Respondents sample was consisted of three groups of students: blind (N = 51), visually impaired (N = 42) and students with no visual disabilities (N = 123). Respondents sample included students from first to fourth grade of elementary schools in Tuzla Canton as well as blind and visually impaired students from boarding schools and students from first to fifth grade in centers for blind and visually impaired children and youth, as well as population of blind and visually impaired students from first to fourth grade that are integrated into regular elementary schools in Tuzla Canton in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Obtained results have shown that in variable groups for errors estimate in variables for writing by diction of words consisting of uppercase and lowercase letters, where blind and visually impaired students mostly made mistakes in form of inability to write dictated words, grammatical errors, errors in letters and syllables: relocation, leaving out, adding, separating words and concatenating them. Level of literal development is very important for preventive acting as well as timely rehabilitation.

Published: September 2021

The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether the length of sentences has influence on the frequency of speech disfluencies for children who stutter. The participants included 30 children who stutter 19 male participants and 13 female participants, whose age ranged between 4 years and 8 months to 6 years and 11 months (56 to 83 months of age). Research was conducted in kindergartens and primary schools in Tuzla Canton in Bosnia and Herzegovina2 . The test consisted of 36 sentences. In relation to the length, sentences were divided into three groups: in the first group there were 9 sentences which included 3 to 5 words, in the second group, there were 14 sentences which included 6 to 8 words and in the third group there were 13 sentences which included 9 to 11 words. Testing was conducted so that the examiner was pronouncing one sentence after which the participant repeated the same sentence. Each participant was requested to repeat exactly what he/she had heard. Speech and language pathologist has recorded all speech disfluencies in all sentences. The results showed that the sentences containing 9 to 11 words had most effects on the overall dynamics of speech disfluencies in children who stutter. The results suggest that during the process of assessment and diagnosis of children who stutter, it should be required to assess the child's ability to use complex linguistic statements and to assess the frequency of disfluencies in relation to the complexity of the sentences. Precision diagnostics would provide guidelines for the treatment of stuttering in terms of implementation of approaches and strategies which include language treatment and gradually increasing the length and complexity of statements of children who stutter during speech.

Published: September 2021

The aim of this study was to determine the level of development of learning strategies in high school students with respect to the age of students and type of high school they attend. We tried to answer the question of whether the years spent in school educate students to strategic approach to learning. The study sample consisted of students of the first and third grade students from three high schools in Tuzla, which are: Gymnasium "Mesa Selimović”, Secondary Commercial School and students of apprenticeships from the Mixed Secondary Technical School, a total of 731 students. Instruments used in this research are Scaler Learning Strategies (SUS) from 2009, by Nenad Suzić. The results showed that 85% of students while learning do not to use any strategy, and that first-grade students had a significantly higher level of development of learning strategies in relation to students of the third grade. This data is not encouraging and tells us that schools put little work into educating students to strategic approach to learning. The study found that answers of students with regard to the type of high school differ significantly on the general score of the SUS-scaler and all its subtests. Based on the arithmetic mean heights, it was found that students of apprenticeships achieved significantly lower values on the general score of the SUS-scaler compared to students of Gymnasium and Secondary Commercial School. Key words: learning strategies, high school students, learning to learn, type of high school.
ECONOMY AND PARA-FISCAL LEVIES IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Authors:   Faculty of Economics, University of Zenica, Mahmutović Hasan
Published: September 2021

The system of para-fiscal levies implies different types of benefits or compensation and payment of citizens and companies for the use of goods or services of state administration which are para-fiscal sources of income of the state. The main characteristics of para-fiscal levies are: they do not originate from all tax payers, but only from members of certain social groups that are linked to some common economic or social interests; they are not part of the budget funds and not regulate them fiscal authorities; they have the character of destined public revenues, as they regularly represent a dedicated revenue whit which a specific task of economic or social character would be solved; they represent a secondary tax levy, which means that they exist along with the country’s tax levy, to draw funds from the same economic resources and to have almost the same economic effects, as well as the collection of taxes; they shall be paid on the basis of laws and decisions or decision of the competent authorities (general obligation) or by contract (a specific levy, ie. an individual obligation); they shall be paid in the event of use of property of general interest and / or services of state administration; they represent giving of money, which is always direct, ie. giving cash on the basis of the decision and with the issuance of a receipt of payment (receipt from a box office or bank). Para-fiscal levies should be understood as fees that economic operators and citizens pay for the use of certain goods or services. These are not taxes and they do not serve to fill the budget. However, in Bosnia and Herzegovina the biggest part of para-fiscal levies is used as a parallel budget revenue, as revenue for the operation of the costly administrative apparatus. A large number of studies on para-fiscal levies in Bosnia and Herzegovina showed that they have a negative impact on economic growth and development. Basically para-fiscal levies, for business entities at higher levels of government, can be grouped into 25 fee and tax groups, and in 9 groups of special fees and membership fees (federal administrative fees, federal court fees, water fees, road fees, forest fees, environmental fees, fees for protection against natural and other disasters).

In this research the motivation for learning mathematics was tested,as well as the effect of grades on the motivation of primary school level students. On a sample of N=100 participants, primary school students, we conducted a survey, the results of which show that the participants are more motivated with extrinsic factors, then intrinsic factors for learning mathematics. Grades are the main factor that has the most influence on the motivation level of students for learning mathematics, because students need good grades for their further education. The results also show that punishment and rewards from parents for bad and good grades has no effect on the motivation level of students.

Health self-evaluation, as a subjective measure, is related to person’s well-being because it encapsulates physical and emotional health evaluation. It has been concluded that subjective health is, for most of people, number one trait of quality of living that is connected to health. Individual is to decide which aspects of objective situation are important for their satisfaction in life. In other words, way in which a person will perceive and react to an objective situation depends on their personal traits. Aim of this research was to examine the differences in relation to gender and health state of visually impaired older persons of that live in institutional accommodation, by self-evaluation. Respondents sample was comprised of 40 visually impaired older persons, both genders (13 male and 27 female) that live in nursing home “Dom penzionera” in Tuzla. Research has been conducted by interview, using questionnaire “Quality of life of adult persons with motoric disabilities in territory of Vojvodina” (Susnjevic, 2015). Because of the structure of questions in questionnaire, it was possible to apply it on visually impaired persons as well. Data acquired had been processed with descriptive statistics, hi-squre and t – test, in order to determine if there were differences in relation to gender and selfevaluation of physical and social functioning. Results of the research have shown that although means have proven that there are differences in acquired results between respondents of male and female gender, results of t-test have shown that those differences are not statistically significant. Presence of any kind of damage, and visual impairment as well can influence person’s psychological and physical integrity.

The experience of the environment in which the activity is performed is a significant factor of the outcome of this activity, that is, the efficiency of the work and the degree of achieving the goal. Within the work environment, physical and social conditions can be observed. The first, which includes material and technical means, are mostly static, easily perceivable and measurable. Others, which include social relations, are much more susceptible to change, more difficult to perceive and measure, and their experience with different individuals within the same group can be more distinct. Although all members of the group participate in group dynamics and relationships, not all are equally relevant to these processes. Considering the position that carries the right and responsibility of setting up a vision and mission, setting goals, creating conditions for work, making decisions and providing feedback, the leader is in most cases crucial. This paper analyzes the role of elementary school principals in creating a school climate, as a non - material environment in which educational activity is carried out, and in this sense it is a specific group / work organization. An estimate was used to measure both variables, i.e. teacher's experience. The instruments used are Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire - MLQ (Avolio and Bass) and School Level Environment Questionnaire - SLEQ (Johnson, Stevens and Zvoch). The survey was conducted in elementary schools in the wider city area of Tuzla, on a sample of 467 teachers and 25 principals. In statistical data processing, multiple regression (Ordinary least squares) and direct square discriminatory analysis were applied. The obtained results point to the connection between the perceived leadership style of elementary school principals and the school climate experienced by teachers, especially in the field of innovation in teaching and mutual cooperation.

Published: September 2021

The paper deals with crime scene investigation as a measure of inquiry, conceptually and substantially, subjects of investigation, as well as their mutual relations. The analysis of the existing legal framework suggests that the current Criminal Procedure Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina offers the appropriate basis for the cooperation between prosecutors and law enforcement. However, previous practice indicates certain shortcomings in the cooperation and coordination between prosecutors and law enforcement. With this paper, the authors wanted to examine the opinions of direct actors on this matter. The results show that they are satisfied with the legal regulation of their mutual relations during investigations, and they express positive opinions in terms of their cooperation. Of course, the possibility of improving that cooperation is also noted, and the methods of achieving it should be identified in further research.

The evolution of alternative dispute resolution and online dispute resolution in the European Un
Authors: Peters Shamaise
Published: September 2021

The evolution of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) as an augmentation from Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) may lead to an authentic paradigm shift in the way disputes are handled beyond the traditional court systems. To assess state of the art and convey awareness, this paper explores the regulatory landscape of the European Union (EU) using the United Kingdom and Estonia to illustrate the key advancements and shortcomings of the supranational strategy. It discusses the relationships between ADR capabilities and its productive use in ODR, the ODR deployment and adoption, and the consequences that may arise if dispute resolution technologies leapfrog. The paper also speaks of automation and suggests the need to build integrative models into Artificial Intelligence (AI) - powered ODR platforms. It is apparent that the early challenges in the development of the ADR culture in the EU are still unresolved, affecting the proper integration of ADR principles and ODR technologies. A more effective coupling could be expected to smooth digital trade interactions by increasing access to justice and consumer trust in the redress capacities of the Dispute Resolution System (DRS) as a whole.

Authors: Jacklin D. M. , Brink I. C. , Jacobs S. M.
Published: September 2021

The present study evaluated engineered media for plant biofilter optimisation in an unvegetated column experiment to assess the performance of loamy sand, perlite, vermiculite, zeolite and attapulgite media under stormwater conditions enriched with varying nutrients and metals reflecting urban pollutant loads. Sixty columns, 30 unvegetated and 30 Juncus effusus vegetated, were used to test: pollutant removal, infiltration rate, particulate discharge, effluent clarity and plant functional response, over six sampling rounds. All engineered media outperformed conventional loamy sand across criteria, with engineered attapulgite consistently among the best performers. No reportable difference existed in vegetation exposed to different material combinations. For all media, the results show a net removal of NH3-N, PO43−-P, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn and an increase of NO3−-N, emphasizing the importance of vegetation in biofilters. Growth media supporting increased rate of infiltration whilst maintaining effective remediation performance offers the potential for reducing the area required by biofilters, currently recommended at 2% of its catchment area, encouraging the use of small-scale green infrastructure in the urban area. Further research is required to assess the carrying capacity of engineered media in laboratory and field settings, particularly during seasonal change, gauging the substrate's potential moisture availability for root uptake.

In the present investigation, Achromobacter denitrifacians was isolated from industrial wastewater and used in the degradation of para nitro-phenol. Experiments were made as a function of different carbon sources, organic and inorganic nitrogen sources and metal ions to analyse the removal efficiency of para nitro-phenol present in the industrial wastewater sources. Observations revealed that the rate of phenol biodegradation was significantly affected by pH, temperature of incubation, glucose, peptone and metal ion concentration. The optimal conditions for phenol removal were found to be pH of 7.5, temperature, 35 °C and 0.25 gL−1 supplemented glucose level, 0.25 gL−1 supplemented peptone level, and 0.01 gL−1 zinc ion. The key importance of the present study is the utilization of a native bacterial strain isolated from the industrial effluent water itself having an impending role in the bioremediation process of phenol.

:

Exosomal vesicles enclose and carry a broad range of biological molecules,
such as nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins, and transfer them between cells. In cancer,
cells being mentioned could be neighbors in the same tumor microenvironment
communicating with each other, or they could be localized at distant sites of the body,
enabling suitable conditions for metastasis. Either way, it is a concrete fact that cells
under physiological or pathological conditions make crosstalk via exosomal secretion.
This review looks at the relation between exosomal cargo and mechanisms of cancer
through recent research.

El 2020 ha sido un año lleno de condiciones adversas y sobretodo retadoras para todas las esferas de la sociedad, si bien cierto, la pandemia de COVID- 19 trajo consigo nuevos escenarios y dinámicas, los avances en materia de investigación no se han quedado atrás; por ello, resulta imperativa la articulación entre organismos estatales, las instituciones de educación superior, representando la arista de la academia, y las organizaciones.
Equity home bias and consumption-real exchange rate puzzles: A joint solution
Authors:   Academy of Policy and Development (APD), International School of Economics and Finance, Hanoi, Vietnam, Tuan Dao Hoang
Published: September 2021

In a standard dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with a complete asset market, home agents should hold a foreign equity biased portfolio to hedge the non-traded labor income risk, which contradicts home equity biased portfolios observed worldwide. As the labor income share increases, the degree of home bias should decrease because there is more incentive to hold foreign equity. In the data, there is not any evidence that the labor income share and the degree of home bias are negatively correlated. The standard model also predicts that the consumption diﬀerential-real exchange rate correlation is positive, while it is negative in the data. I show that a combination of market incompleteness, non-tradable goods, and labor supply can explain the three features above. My model can generate a large equity home bias, despite the strong positive correlation of non-traded human capital return with domestic equity return. The home bias is not sensitive to the labor income share. The consumption diﬀerential-real exchange rate unconditional correlation generated by my model simulation is zero.
Value of 3D-DSA in the detection of intracranial aneurysms
Authors: Franjić Darjan , Mašković Josip
Published: September 2021

Aim: To determine the value of three-dimensional (3D) digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the detection of intracranial aneurysms and to compare 3D technique with DSA. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 50 patients with 60 intracranial aneurysms who underwent both conventional DSA and 3D-DSA for the evaluation of intracranial aneurysms was conducted. The presence of aneurysms, detection of aneurysmal neck, size, location, presence of additional and small aneurysms analyzed from the two protocols were compared. Results: Three-dimensional technique detected 54 aneurysms while conventional DSA detected 38 aneurysms. There was no correlation between aneurysm detection and aneurysm neck detection in the two technologies observed, but there was a difference in detection performance depending on the technology used. Three-dimensional technique detected 52 aneurysm necks while conventional DSA detected 24 aneurysm necks. There was a statistically significant and positive relationship between the detected size of the aneurysm using 3D technique and DSA technology. Three-dimensional technique detected 24 additional aneurysms while conventional DSA detected only six additional aneurysms. Conclusions: Three-dimensional technique are more successful in the detection of aneurysms, their necks and small aneurysms in comparison to digital subtraction angiography, but difference is not statistically significant. The size of the aneurysm statistically significant affects the aneurysm neck detection by conventional DSA.
Hipertrofični pahimeningitis i aortitis kao manifestacije bolesti povezane s imunoglobulinom G4 i uspješno liječene rituksimabom
Authors: Šević Ana , Javoran Dragan , Anić Felina , Novak Srđan
Published: September 2021

Cilj: Prikazati pacijenta s bolesti povezanom s imunoglobulinom G4 (engl. immunoglobulin G4-related disease; IgG4-RD) te dijagnostičke izazove vezane uz ovu bolest, kao i terapijske mogućnosti s naglaskom na liječenje rituksimabom. Prikaz slučaja: Šezdesetogodišnji pacijent primljen je na hospitalnu obradu nakon pregleda u gastroenterološkoj ambulanti u koju je zaprimljen zbog neredovite stolice, slabosti i gubitka 20 kg unutar dva mjeseca. U statusu je ustanovljena lezija desnog ličnog živca, ptoza, lagoftalmus i otežano gutanje. Obradom su potvrđene lezije desnog oculomotoriusa, facialisa i trigeminusa, a otorinolaringološkim pregledom utvrđena je pareza desne glasnice. Laboratorijski nalazi pokazali su anemiju i povišene upalne pokazatelje. Ultrazvukom otkrivena lezija jetre definirana je kao hemangiom. Kompjutorizirana tomografija (engl. computed tomography; CT) i magnetska rezonancija (MR) mozga pokazale su hipertrofični pahimeningitis u području srednje i stražnje lubanjske jame, uz desni tentorij, kavernozni sinus, Meckelovu jamu i gornju orbitalnu fisuru. CT aortografija pokazala je aortitis infrarenalne aorte. Serumska razina IgG4 protutijela bila je povišena te su zadovoljeni kriteriji za moguću dijagnozu IgG4-RD i započeta je terapija metilprednizolonom. Iduće je godine ponovno hospitaliziran radi reevaluacije bolesti. MR mozga pokazao je dobru regresiju hipertrofičnog tkiva dure, ali CT aortografija nepotpunu regresiju bolesti te su upalni pokazatelji i dalje bili visoki. Uvedena je terapija rituksimabom koja je dovela do remisije. Zaključak: IgG4-RD je rijetka i složena bolest koja često oponaša druge i predstavlja velik dijagnostički izazov, stoga bi poznavanje ove bolesti uvelike pridonijelo njezinom ranom otkrivanju i boljim terapijskim ishodima. Iako su glukokortikoidi standardna terapija, često ne daju željene rezultate, a inovativna terapija rituksimabom pokazuje odličnu učinkovitost.
Princípio da coculpabilidade na jurisprudência do TJRN
Authors: Castro Felipe
Published: September 2021

Embora o Brasil adote a forma de um Estado Democrático de Direito, que tem entre seus objetivos fundamentais a erradicação da pobreza, notadamente não cumpre esses objetivos em relação à parte significativa da população. Essas omissões contribuem para perpetuação de um contingente populacional em situação de subcidadania, sobre os quais atua mais incisivamente o aparato repressivo estatal. O princípio da coculpabilidade surge como uma possibilidade de minimização dos efeitos da omissão estatal quando da repressão penal, a partir do compartilhamento da culpabilidade entre o Estado e o autor do delito. O objetivo do presente trabalho é verificar a aplicabilidade do princípio no âmbito do Tribunal de Justiça do Rio Grande do Norte (TJRN) por meio da consulta e análise da jurisprudência concernente ao tema nos últimos dez anos (2010-1019). Após essa análise, procurou-se analisar as razões utilizadas para afastar a incidência da coculpabilidade, tendo em consideração que existem possibilidades legislativas, doutrinárias e nas experiências comparadas que reforçam sua aplicabilidade. Cotejando o estudo com outras pesquisas, concluímos que o momento judicial finda por confirmar a omissão estatal e a seletividade do sistema penal, na contramão da doutrina constitucionalmente mais adequada e da experiência comparada regional.
Terceirização
Authors: Molitor Thamíris Evaristo
Published: September 2021

O objetivo do presente artigo é investigar o fenômeno da terceirização de serviços principalmente no Brasil. Para tanto, inicialmente fará uma investigação histórica sobre seu surgimento no âmbito mundial, chegando à conclusão de que a terceirização se originou em países de capitalismo central e, após, foi levado para os países de capitalismo periférico como o Brasil. Em seguida serão analisadas as normas jurídicas que regulamentaram esse contrato, inicialmente através de leis restritivas à atividades especializadas, passando por normas do Superior Tribunal do Trabalho, e, ao fim, as leis da reforma trabalhista de 2017 e decisão pelo STF da ADPF nº 324. Por fim, fará uma proposta de análise do tema à luz da crítica marxista do direito. Conclui que a terceirização inicialmente lançou bases concretas na produção brasileira para, em seguida, os empresários buscarem sua “legalização”, tratando-se de um contrato que consegue estender a extração de mais-valor por áreas econômicas antes entendidas como improdutivas pela teoria marxista.
