Muros de la vergüenza: concepciones desde la gobernabilidad
Authors: Eslava Zapata Rolando , Chacón Guerrero Edixon
Published: December 2024

This study proposes an exploratory approach to the different conceptions of walls of shame in the face of governance carried out by countries seeking to control migratory flows. From the qualitative paradigm, framed in hermeneutics and phenomenology, the main conceptions related to walls of shame as a means to stop migration in international contexts, motivated mainly by countries suffering economic crises and wars, are synthesized. The analysis shows various current representations of the walls of shame. Despite the existence of extensive international regulations on migration, there is a marked presence and proliferation of these walls in order to prevent the free mobility of migrants, who seek to improve their living conditions. This research represents an innovative contribution to the study of migration from the perspective of the walls of shame, a practice that continues to be carried out today in the context of governance and democracy.

Published: December 2024

Currently, there is controversy within the specialized doctrine about the legitimacy of political trials in accordance with the postulates arising from the American Convention on Human Rights, due to legal uncertainty about a specific regulation and the absence of jurisprudential development within the Inter-American System that functions as a scale to determine the Conventionality of this means of political control, which exists in most countries belonging to the Inter-American System. In this sense, the main objective of this article is aimed at establishing objective parameters that allow the harmonization of political trials with the ACHR. For this purpose, a contextualization of the genesis of this means of political control was carried out through a qualitative methodology, as well as its transfer in the panorama of Latin American constitutional law and, finally, the requirements that allow impeachment to coexist harmoniously with conventional requirements were addressed in a diaphanous way, having as a catalyst the teleological criteria mutatis mutandis within the framework of international guarantees decanted in the Corpus Iuris of  International Law of Human Rights.

Published: December 2024

This article shows the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of Problem-Based Learning in the teaching of Law, after presenting a general characterization that indicates its origin, development and adaptation in the legal field. For this purpose, arguments that show the improvement of skills and competencies based on the ABP to successfully practice the Law profession are pointed out and, also, the drawbacks of its application are indicated taking into account the specific social contexts in which it is carried out. It introduces the conditions of the learning environments and the treatment of issues that go beyond the curriculum, for example, that of ethical and quality training. In this way, it is possible to weigh arguments from side to side, in order to show how its implementation would be improved by attending to social, contextual and individual projection needs, since it is not a matter of suggesting this method can be dispensed within the processes of teaching and learning in the Faculties of Law, but recognizing its potentialities.

Authors: Andrade Navia Juan Manuel , Jiménez Zapata Elvia María , Sánchez Castillo Verenice
Published: December 2024

Environmental issues have become of significant interest worldwide due to the negative phenomena experienced. Thus, studies have emerged that analyse various anthropogenic factors that affect the environment, including research that warns of weak regulations on environmental issues. This study evaluates the environmental regulations based on the requirements of the environmental licences that hydroelectric projects require as a mandatory condition for their implementation, addressing the case of the El Quimbo hydroelectric plant. The research was carried out from the perspective of environmental impacts and their identification in previous (ex-ante) and subsequent (ex-post) studies in order to compare the reliability of environmental licences. As a result, it was found that the ex-ante environmental impact studies, carried out in the framework of the environmental licence application, are unreliable due to their accuracy because they underestimate, overestimate or omit environmental impacts.

Authors: Skapkareva Varvara , Latyushina Larisa , Malysheva Ludmila
Published: December 2024

Subject of study. In the current period, complex rehabilitation of patients with orthopedic structures supported by intraosseous dental implants is the leading method. Clinical situations of implant placement in areas of chronic periapical inflammation aren’t uncommon, while destructive forms of chronic periodontitis are characterized by processes that affect innate immunological reactions, which, in turn, affects osteoreparative processes, contributing to bone loss and complications. To minimize bone loss in the area of the extracted tooth, various methods of alveolar ridge preservation are currently proposed, however, there is a shortage of studies that study the quality of bone tissue and the inflammatory component. The purpose of the study is to analyze and evaluate the morphological and immunological indicators of the focus of chronic periapical inflammation in various forms of chronic periodontitis for dental intraosseous implantation using a delayed protocol.
Methodology. The study, characterized by a two-component design, included a clinical and laboratory examination of 60 dental patients. The first stage was a study of the indicators of phagocytosis of neutrophils in the separated tooth socket and a histological study of trephine biopsy specimens of the alveolar bone with calculation of the inflammation index in various forms of chronic periodontitis; at the second stage, 12–14 weeks after tooth extraction, before implant installation, the morphological characteristics of the bone biomaterial were studied, conducting a comparative analysis of the indicators of patients with socket preservation using the generally accepted method and without preservation.
Results. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that predictors of inflammatory complications were found in patients. regardless of the form of chronic periodontitis: significantly increased rates of wound neutrophil phagocytosis, and a histological index of bone tissue inflammation higher than the control data. The study of morphological parameters before the installation of intraosseous dental implants in patients with conservation of the socket of extracted teeth with chronic periodontal foci according to the generally accepted method made it possible to register histological signs of chronic intraosseous inflammation that persisted after 12–14 weeks.
The functions of A. S. Pushkin’s intertext in Yu. N. Tynyanov’s novel The Death of Vazir-Mukhtar
Authors:   Saratov State University, Dronova Tatiana I.
Published: December 2024

The article focuses on the formal and content role of Pushkin’s intertext in Yu. N. Tynyanov’s novel The Death of Vazir-Mukhtar. Different ways of introducing quotes, references, allusions to A. S. Pushkin’s works are revealed. Such features of quoting as non-attributiveness,
inexactness, pre-text reduction to single word images are elicited in the process of analysis. In the opinion of the author of the paper, this
indicates a play-based dialogue with the reader who should unravel Pushkin’s texts independently and discern the “mistakes” of reproduction. The titles of A. S. Pushkin’s works being mentioned (The Prisoner of the Caucasus, Eugene Onegin, Stances, Poltava) and allusions (to The
Fountain of Bakhchisarai, To Friends etc) are considered as one of the distinctive forms of their representation. Identifying the techniques of
introducing Pushkin’s intertext into Tynyanov’s novel through the consciousness of different characters (F. V. Bulgarin, A. S. Griboedov and
A. S. Pushkin himself) features largely in the article. The characterological, historic and literary functions of such characters as F. V. Bulgarin and
A. S. Griboedov’s reflection on Pushkin’s texts are elicited. The author of the article focuses on the motive of the creator of Woe from Wit competing with A. S. Pushkin, that is actualized through intertext. Along the lines of considering this issue in the paper, some inner connections
between the novel narrative and the scientific papers of Yu. N. Tynyanov are defined. The quotes from A Journey to Arzrum at the end of the novel, in the strong position, are given particular importance in the article: Pushkin’s evaluations of the fate and oeuvre of A. S. Griboedov
acquire the function of a highly respected statement, enriching the author’s understanding of the hero’s image. Studying the artistic functions
of Pushkin’s pre-texts enables to draw a conclusion that A. S. Pushkin is present throughout the whole narration due to the references to his
works, and his poetry is an inalienable part of the ‘thesaurus’ of his contemporaries.
Poetic texts in the perception of journals and the Internet literary criticism
Authors:   Saratov State University, Galishnikova Alina R.
Published: December 2024

Nowadays literary criticism on the Internet is actively developing, becoming an area of influence on the worldview of the modern
reader. The article provides a comparative analysis of literary and critical publications on the Internet and in literary and art journals on
poetic texts in the period from 2020 to 2023. The analysis of literary and critical publications suggests that journal criticism provides more
structured and formalized synopses of poetry collections and their reviews, since professional critics are published in “thick” journals, and
each article meets the requirements of the “editorial policy” of the issuing publication. Internet criticism is characterized by the lack of
regulation of creativity on the part of the editorial board, publications are not subject to professional censorship, therefore synopses and
reviews are extremely subjective, emotional and present the examples of “readers’ criticism”. The contradictory influence of the Internet on
the state of literary criticism is emphasized: on the one hand, online criticism is more accessible and democratic, and this allows a wide range
of people to express their opinions and create an interactive literary community, but, on the other hand, literary critical publications on the
Internet are most often superficial, express a subjective assessment, affect the reader psychologically, as they are extremely emotional and
subjective. The structural and content features of literary and critical publications in “thick” journals and the Internet are addressed. The principles of interaction between the critic and the reader, the peculiarities of style, the use of certain syntactic constructions in literary and
critical publications are considered, which help literary critics convey their feelings and evaluate works both in periodicals and on the Internet.

Authors:   Moscow City University, Kirsanova Maria A.
Published: December 2024

L’Équipe is one of the most popular French daily sports newspapers. It is ranked number one by circulation volume and readership
scope in sports events. The current study intends to highlight the process of L’Équipe becoming an institutionalized media outlet. The research
analyzes the newspaper’s development from the time of its foundation to the present days. The paper dwells on critical stages of the newspaper’s modernization and elaborates on the main sports events that L’Équipe was involved in and supported. These factors influenced the process
of the formation of the newspaper as an institutional publication of mass media discourse in the subject area of “sport”. Apart from that, this
study aims to analyze the target audience of L’Équipe. Using static data and newspaper content analysis the research differentiates categories of
readership classified by age and gender. It is noted that by providing a wide range of sport news topics L’Équipe considers various interests of
intended recipients. Online media format emphasizes timeliness as one of the key characteristics that define the newspaper. The further L’Équipe
television channel, Internet website and then Internet radio development made it possible to promptly inform the readership about the current
events in the sports world. The newspaper online version allows readers to get news, reports and interviews faster. It is therefore proved that
the categories of institutionality, targeting and timeliness are significant for sports news written discourse.

Lectinas de origem vegetal têm ganhado destaque como compostos imunomoduladores e cicatrizantes, um exemplo é a proteína extraída de Canavalia brasiliensis (ConBr). A ausência de informações relacionadas a ação de ConBr em feridas infectadas estimulou esta pesquisa. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar os efeitos terapêuticos da lectina ConBr em lesões cutâneas infectadas por Staphylococcus aureus. As feridas experimentais foram induzidas no dorso de camundongos Swiss, o processo infeccioso foi provocado pela adição de suspenções de S. aureus ATCC6538 (cepa padrão) ou SA01 (cepa clínica) nas feridas recém produzidas, que foram tratadas com a lectina ConBr (200 µg/mL) e clinicamente avaliadas por 10 dias. Após 3 e 10 dias de tratamento as feridas foram coletadas para avaliação da carga bacteriana e níveis óxido nítrico (NO). O uso de ConBr nas feridas infectadas não foi capaz de conter a inflamação, independentemente da cepa infectante, no entanto, a área das lesões foi diminuída. O tratamento com a lectina ainda promoveu uma redução da carga bacteriana, principalmente nas feridas infectadas pela cepa padrão, onde os níveis de NO foram aumentados pelo tratamento com a lectina.

Published: December 2024

Playing a fundamental role within organizations, Mendonça (2024) points out that the legal department is seen as an essential element both for corporate structuring and for responding to demands of an administrative and judicial nature, with a direct influence on the strategic planning to be adopted by companies. Regarding its daily activities, communication is a challenging process for the legal universe, requiring efforts to ensure that the message transmitted is understood by its recipient, regardless of the type of audience they are in. Given the importance of communication to the legal universe, this article aims to outline a strategic plan that proposes to innovate the internal communication of the Legal Advisory of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation - Embrapa, with the application of the Five-V tool. The theoretical framework used was based on the studies of Taran, et al. (2016), which proposes the innovation of the business model for an organization. The research methodology is descriptive, inductive, exploratory and bibliographic. The research highlights the importance of implementing a strategic internal communication plan, using the Five-V tool as support. This planning contributes to the improvement and innovation of the legal department's operating model in the organization studied, strengthening the effectiveness and alignment of legal activities with corporate objectives.

Authors: Müller Leidiani , França Juliana , De Col Lidiane , Sonza Elisa
Published: December 2024

The cooling of carcasses in slaughterhouses is of utmost importance to control microbial growth and ensure product safety. Among the methods used, water immersion cooling is common in poultry slaughterhouses, but it results in high water consumption. This study was conducted in a quail slaughterhouse with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness and validating the renewal of 400 mL of water per quail carcass during immersion cooling. Current legislation requires 1.5 liters of water for carcasses weighing up to 2.5 kg of meat, which may lead to waste when applied to quails due to their lower weight. Four tests were performed using a single-stage continuous chiller with immersion times of 25 and 30 minutes. Carcass and water temperatures were monitored, water absorption by the carcasses was measured, and microbiological analyses for Enterobacteriaceae and aerobic mesophiles were conducted. The results showed that 400 mL of water per carcass is sufficient for cooling without increasing microbial proliferation, meeting legal parameters for water temperature, carcass temperature, and water absorption by the quails. It is concluded that the use of this optimized volume reduces water consumption and operational costs without compromising product safety, and highlights the need for specific guidelines and legislation for quail processing.

Autorka zwraca uwagę, że obecny system rachunkowości tej jednostki nie dostarcza wystarczających danych na ten temat, co utrudnia skuteczne zarządzanie kosztami i podejmowanie decyzji. W literaturze brakuje również kompleksowych propozycji pomiaru i wyceny działań związanych z odpowiedzialnością społeczną Lasów Państwowych, co stwarza lukę badawczą, którą niniejsze opracowanie stara się wypełnić. Celem pracy jest ulepszenie systemu rachunkowości Lasów Państwowych, szczególnie w aspekcie zarządczym, poprzez zaproponowanie modelu identyfikacji i pomiaru kosztów społecznej odpowiedzialności. W ramach tego celu sformułowano szereg celów szczegółowych, takich jak analiza roli systemu informacyjnego rachunkowości, specyfiki działania Lasów Państwowych, czy ocena aktualnego systemu rachunkowości. Główna teza badawcza wskazuje na brak możliwości generowania informacji o kosztach odpowiedzialności społecznej w obecnym systemie rachunkowości Lasów Państwowych. Autorka argumentuje, że istnieje potrzeba rozbudowy tego systemu o elementy rachunkowości zarządczej, co umożliwi bardziej precyzyjne monitorowanie i analizę efektywności działań podejmowanych przez Lasy Państwowe w zakresie społecznej odpowiedzialności.

Role of Physical Activity in Positive Psychology Perspective
Authors: Parlakyıldız Sinem
Published: December 2024

Throughout the history of humanity, the question of what constitutes a good life has been a significant topic. Various philosophers have attributed different meanings to the concepts of well-being and happiness. Some associate a good life with a list of virtues, while others emphasize the importance of pleasurable feelings. Positive psychology emerged as an approach that emphasizes well-being and acknowledges happiness as a fundamental goal. The concept of well-being is defined in various ways to describe a positive state experienced by individuals and societies. Well-being encompasses both hedonic and eudaimonic approaches. Positive psychology utilizes scientific methods to understand well-being and examine the nature of happiness. According to the World Happiness Report, Turkey's low ranking in the international evaluation of happiness levels indicates a need for improvement in well-being areas. Globally, identifying the factors that can enhance happiness and quality of life, especially in countries that rank lower, is crucial for societies. Public policies and strategies need to focus on promoting happiness and well-being to enhance the welfare level of society. There is growing evidence that physical activity increases happiness levels and improves quality of life. Therefore, physical activity promotion may be an effective strategy for increasing happiness levels and has important potential for supporting societal well-being.

THE STRATEGIC ROLE OF BTN SYARIAH MARGONDA IN THE REALIZATION OF A USURY-FREE MURABAHA MORTGAGE AT PT. ABC GROUP: ANALYSIS BASED ON ISLAMIC LAW
Authors: Damanik Ade Zuki , Noor Afif , Ichrom Mohamad
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the application of the murabaha contract in the BTN Syariah Margonda Home Ownership Credit (KPR) product from the perspective of Islamic law. In the face of increasing demand for usury-free housing, BTN Syariah offers a solution through the murabaha contract, which guarantees home financing without involving the element of interest. Through cooperation with PT ABC Group, BTN Syariah Margonda provides a more transparent and fair financing alternative for the community. This research method uses a normative-empirical approach with interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results show that the application of the Murabaha contract at BTN Syariah Margonda is in accordance with Sharia principles, where the profit margin is determined from the start, and the installments are fixed throughout the payment period. However, the main challenge is the need for a more public understanding of the differences between sharia and conventional mortgages. Nevertheless, the murabaha contract provides a positive impact in the form of financial certainty for customers and supports stable financial planning without being trapped in usury practices. This research also identifies the need to increase public education on the advantages of Sharia-based financing and the importance of the role of property developers who fully implement Sharia principles.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: The Corona Virus Infectious Disease (COVID)-19 pandemic has impacted tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment in Indonesia, making Indonesia rank second in the world’s tuberculosis cases. Tuberculosis epidemiology worsened during the pandemic; an estimated 10.6 million people fell ill with tuberculosis worldwide in 2021, an increase of 4.5% from the previous year (Falzon et al., 2023). Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge, perception, and stigma toward tuberculosis prevention in the community in Jakarta. Methods: Respondents in this study were selected using simple random sampling with the criteria at least 17 years of age and currently not diagnosed as a TB patient. Those who were diagnosed with active TB and were on treatment were excluded from the study. Using a cross-sectional design, this study was analyzed with logistic regression. Results: Two factors were found to be associated with the level of tuberculosis prevention behavior. Respondents with better knowledge about tuberculosis were 5.13 times more likely to make good prevention in tuberculosis (OR=5.129; 95% CI=2.341-11.238; p-value <0.001). In addition, having a positive perception of tuberculosis prevention was also associated with better tuberculosis prevention practices (OR=3.301; 95% CI=1.402-7.772; p-value=0.006). Conclusion: Knowledge and perceptions can also eventually lead to stigma, which results in delayed diagnosis, increases the source of transmission, and hinders efforts to reduce its prevalence. A possible recommendation is to educate the community about TB transmission, treatment, and prevention to dispel myths and negative perceptions.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge and is included as one of the targets in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). TB case finding in Lubuklinggau City decreased from 967 in 2019 to 273 (24,37%) in 2020. Aims: This study aims to analyze the TB disease management program strategy implementation in contact investigation activities by utilizing the SULI SIMULATOR application. Method: A qualitative design with a participatory action research (PAR) approach was employed, involving focus group discussions, in-depth interviews with 36 informants, and document review. Data were validated using triangulation methods and sources, followed by thematic analysis. Result: The findings revealed that, in terms of input, some PHC lacked analysts in their human resources. In terms of process, the successful implementation of the TB disease prevention program, with the application of SULI SIMULATOR for TB contact investigation, led to an increase in the case detection rate (CDR) to 255 cases (22.76%) in 2021 compared to the previous year's 237 patients (21.16%). Conclusion: The active involvement of the community and family is crucial in promoting early detection of TB cases through contact investigation activities, as well as providing support for treatment in family and community-based health efforts

Aim: A direct effect of insulin on the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins has been described in extrahepatic organs. The current study investigates the role of insulin in type 1 collagen production in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).

Methods: Primary HSC cultures from wild-type mice and from L-SACC1 transgenic mice that exhibit hyperinsulinemia and resultant insulin resistance due to a defect in hepatic insulin clearance were used.

Results: Insulin significantly increased type I collagen synthesis in HSC primary cultures in the presence of high but not low glucose concentrations. Although HSCs contain a functional, insulin-activated PI3 kinase signaling pathway, insulin increases type I collagen synthesis by mechanisms independent of PI3 kinase. Insulin stimulated α5β1 integrin levels and phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase, a major signaling mediator in the integrin pathway. In addition, α5β1 integrin siRNA interference abolished insulin-mediated type I collagen synthesis by HSCs. L-SACC1 mice showed increased hepatic collagen deposition as compared to wild-type mice. HSCs isolated from L-SACC1 mice synthesize more type I collagen and α5β1 integrin than HSCs isolated from wild-type controls.

Conclusion: Insulin exerts a direct profibrotic impact on HSCs by an α5β1 integrin-mediated mechanism, independently of the PI3 kinase signaling pathway. Thus, chronic hyperinsulinemia may potentiate liver collagen deposition in insulin resistance states. This likely increases the risk of significant fibrosis burden in chronic liver disease associated with insulin resistance.

Published: December 2024

The increase in life expectancy over the last century has brought with it new challenges of providing quality care towards end-of-life. Saudi Arabia has embraced this new challenge and incorporated it within its governing Islamic principles. The country has invested heavily in building the necessary legislative framework and infrastructural support systems to not only enable provision of palliative care but also improve the quality of end-of-life care. Saudi Arabia's commitment to enhancing end-of-life care, aligned with its Vision 2030, reflects a dedication to providing comprehensive, compassionate support to individuals facing life-limiting illnesses and to their families. The country has found innovative local solutions in order to address the challenges unique to its population. It has made significant progress in recognising the importance of palliative care and addressing the cultural, legal, and ethical aspects of end-of-life care appropriate to its ethos.
FORMAÇÃO EM SERVIÇO SOCIAL: QUESTÃO ÉTNICO RACIAL EM DEBATE.
Authors: Guimarães da Silva Kallynne , Santos Rosemeire dos
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho é fruto de reflexões que compuseram o projeto de pesquisa para o ingresso ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Serviço Social da UFT. Que é continuidade aos estudos realizados no Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso-TCC da graduação, neste sentido busca-se analisar o debate étnico-racial na formação em Serviço Social nas Unidades de Formação Acadêmicas- UFA Federais da região norte, seguindo a divisão regional da Associação Brasileira de Ensino e Pesquisa em Serviço Social – ABEPSS, por isso os cursos de Serviço Social escolhidos para esse estudo são das Universidades Federais do Maranhão, Tocantins, Amazonas, Pará e Piauí. A proposta de análise qualitativa se debruça em atualizar os dados acerca do debate racial coletados no TCC e agora incluir o debate indígena, por isso busca-se verificar como as UFAs vêm tratando este tema na formação. O interesse por esse debate se desenvolve a partir de inquietações acerca do exercício da prática profissional, tendo em vista que, a formação social e cultural brasileira e a discussão étnico-racial na sociedade por muito tempo não foram pautas dentro da formação em Serviço Social, nesse sentido, chega-se à contemporaneidade com uma escassez de discussões teórico e crítico sobre a questão étnico-racial, no interior da profissão, colocando vários desafios para a compreensão das demandas que chegam até os espaços sócio ocupacionais dos assistentes sociais, que exigem a compreensão das relações sociais a partir do imbricamento de classe social, raça/etnia e gênero. Nesse ensaio que se publica apresenta-se as reflexões teóricas, os dados serão publicados ao final da pesquisa.
VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA A PESSOA IDOSA: DESAFIOS EM TEMPOS DE PANDEMIA DE COVID-19.
Authors: Da Costa Silva Kanela Joelma , Da Nóbrega Beserra Ingrid Karla
Published: December 2024

A pandemia de COVID-19 apresentou impactos complexos à sociedade, afetando especialmente grupos vulneráveis, como os idosos, e aumentando casos de violência. Parte-se do pressuposto de que o isolamento, medida necessária para conter os impactos da emergência, tenha sido um dos fatores. A violência contra os idosos é um grave problema de saúde pública, mas ainda carece de visibilidade acadêmica no Brasil. Este estudo visa apresentar as formas de violência contra os idosos durante a COVID-19, por meio da análise de 13 artigos com a temática, além de dados do DATASUS. Observou-se um aumento significativo nos casos de violência, atribuído, entre outras questões, ao isolamento, ausência de adesão dos idosos às medidas de segurança e outros desafios. A violência, seja física, sexual, psicológica, econômica, de abandono, negligência ou autonegligência, é um problema estrutural, institucional e interpessoal, exigindo políticas de proteção social imediatas que priorizem o bem-estar dos idosos.
