Functional constipation in children has become a serious medical issue that needs to be addressed immediately. They can significantly limit children’s physical activity and social integration, which emphasizes the importance of providing them with effective care. Purpose - to analyze and improve the results of the complex use of a lactulose-based drug and prophylactic phytocylinders with a lipophilic complex of rose hips and chamomile extract in the treatment of functional constipation in children. Materials and methods. We examined 78 children with constipation over the past 3 years. They were divided into two groups. The first group included 36 (46.2%) patients, the second - 42 (53.8%). Patients of the first group received standard treatment according to the protocols of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, patients of the second group received similar treatment and additionally lactulose in the form of syrup and a preparation based on prophylactic phytocylinders with a lipophilic complex of rose hips and chamomile extract during the course of treatment daily in the form of rectal suppositories. Results. Most patients were female (60.2%), had average physical development parameters. The duration of constipation ranged from 1 to 3 months, and stool retention - from 3 to 5 days. At the beginning of the observation, there were complaints of changes in the shape and consistency of stools, painful defecation, flatulence, periodic abdominal pain, strong straining during defecation, fear or anxiety in children before the act of defecation. An analysis of anamnestic data showed that in one third of patients, constipation was observed during the transition from breastfeeding to artificial feeding. Conclusions. The analysis of the addition to the complex of treatment of functional constipation, in addition to lactulose, of preparations based on prophylactic phytocylinders with a lipophilic complex of rose hips and chamomile extract is a safe and quite effective method of correcting these disorders in young children, as evidenced by the results obtained. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

Prawno-kryminalistyczne aspekty zjawiska pornografii dziecięcej
Authors: Pelczar Aleksandra
Published: March 2024

Zjawisko pornografii dziecięcej stanowi coraz większy problem społeczny. Rozwój technologii informatycznych oraz powszechność dostępu do internetu w zdecydowany sposób przyczyniły się do eskalacji produkcji, dystrybucji, a co za tym idzie – konsumpcji pornografii dziecięcej. Obecnie takie czynniki, jak anonimowość, dostępność do mass mediów, środków społecznego komunikowania się, łatwości nawiązywania kontaktów oraz szerokich ścieżek dystrybucji materiałów pornograficznych, powodują, że internet stał się atrakcyjnym środowiskiem dla przestępców seksualnych. Organizacje międzynarodowe współpracujące z wieloma państwami podejmują codziennie próbę zwalczania tych przestępstw na globalną skalę poprzez wymianę informacji, ściganie sprawców, a także ochronę potencjalnych ofiar. Ponadto poprzez swoją działalność inicjują powstawanie różnorodnych programów i kampanii mających na celu podniesienie świadomości dzieci, rodziców i nauczycieli dydaktycznych na temat zagrożeń związanych z pedofilią i pornografią dziecięcą. Wszystkie działania, zarówno na szczeblu legislacyjnym, operacyjnym, jak i edukacyjnym, mają na celu ochronę dzieci. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie uwarunkowań zjawiska pornografii dziecięcej. Przedmiotowe opracowanie porusza również kwestię związaną z wykładnią znamienia ustawowego posiadanie w odniesieniu do pornografii dziecięcej w formie cyfrowej. Ponadto autorka przedstawia różnice z zakresu typologii sprawców oraz charakteryzuje organizacje mające na celu zwalczenie seksualnego wykorzystywania dzieci.
Inicjowanie kontroli konstytucyjności ustaw przez Prezydenta RP w latach 1997–2020
Authors: Hadała-Skóra Anna , Piękoś Karol
Published: March 2024

Prezydent RP na mocy art. 122 ust. 3 Konstytucji Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej z dnia 2 kwietnia 1997 r. został wyposażony w wyłączną kompetencję do inicjowania prewencyjnej kontroli przepisów przed Trybunałem Konstytucyjnym, mającej na celu zbadanie ich zgodności z Konstytucją RP. Istotą tego działania jest dążenie do weryfikacji tych przepisów, które budzą wątpliwości głowy państwa w zakresie ich zgodności z ustawą zasadniczą. Regulacje prawne dotyczące procedury usuwania niezgodności znajdują się zarówno w Konstytucji RP, jak i w Regulaminie Sejmu. Z kolei legitymacja podmiotowa w zakresie występowania do Trybunału Konstytucyjnego z wnioskiem w sprawach wymienionych w art. 188 Konstytucji RP – tj. przepisu określającego właściwość rzeczową Trybunału Konstytucyjnego – została wskazana w art. 191 Konstytucji RP. Zgodnie z tym przepisem Prezydent RP jest jednym z podmiotów posiadających uprawnienie umożliwiające inicjowanie postępowania przed Trybunałem Konstytucyjnym w sprawach następczej kontroli hierarchicznej zgodności norm, jak również w kwestii konstytucyjności celów, a także działalności partii politycznych. Głowa państwa należy zatem do grona podmiotów posiadających szczególną legitymację – tj. legitymację nieograniczoną. Jej istota polega na uprawnieniu do kwestionowania wszystkich aktów normatywnych, które zostały objęte właściwością Trybunału Konstytucyjnego3. W niniejszym artykule podjęto próbę dokonania wstępnej analizy w zakresie inicjowania kontroli konstytucyjności ustaw przez polskich prezydentów w latach 1997–2023.
Cold-induced anaphylaxis triggered by drinking cold water
Authors: S Alrafiaah Abdulaziz , Netchiporouk Elena , Ben-Shoshan Moshe
Published: March 2024

Cold urticaria is an inducible urticaria in which hives and angioedema appear after exposure to cold. The symptoms of cold urticaria often are limited to hives/angioedema. However, in up to 20% of cases, cold exposure may trigger anaphylaxis. We report the case of an 11-year-old boy previously diagnosed with chronic spontaneous urticaria who developed facial swelling, itchy hives, difficulty in breathing, vomiting and abdominal pain within 5 minutes of drinking cold water. He received a standard dose of non-sedating second-generation antihistamines at home. He was observed in the emergency room for 2 hours and discharged with an epinephrin autoinjector. During the subsequent outpatient clinic visit, an ice cube test was performed which confirmed the new diagnosis of comorbid cold-induced chronic urticaria. On further questioning, the parents reported occurrence of hives following swimming in the swimming pool. Cold-induced urticaria should be suspected in cases of anaphylaxis associated with cold exposure. Patients with chronic forms of urticaria who present with new anaphylaxis should be assessed for a potential concomitant cold-induced form.
Safety of direct oral provocation test to delabel reported mild beta-lactam allergy in infants
Authors: Cunha Francisca , Cunha Inês , Gomes Eva
Published: March 2024

Background: Around 10% of people report a drug allergy and avoid some medications because of fear of allergic reactions. However, only after a proper diagnostic workup can some of these reactions be confirmed as allergic or nonallergic hypersensitivities. Beta-lactams (BLs) are the most common medication suspected of being involved in drug hypersensivity reactions (DHRs) in children. Recently, direct oral provocation tests (DPT) with BLs gained popularity within pediatric populations as a tool for delabeling children with suspected BL allergies. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of direct provocation tests in infants with mild cutaneous non-immediate reactions to BLs.
Methods: The authors retrospectively analyzed the data of 151 infants between 2015 and 2022, referred for evaluating a suspected allergy to BLs that occurred before age 24 months.
Results: The mean age of the children, including 55% male kids, at the suspected reaction was 15.9 months and the mean age at the time of the DPT was 39.6 months. In most cases, antibiotics were prescribed to treat common upper respiratory infections, such as acute otitis (54.3%) and acute tonsillitis (27.2%). Amoxicillin was considered the culprit drug in 62.9% of the cases, and the combination of amoxicillin–clavulanic acid in the case of 33.8% of children. The most frequent associated cutaneous clinical manifestations were maculopapular exanthema in 74.8% and delayed urticaria/angioedema in 25.2%. Of the 151 infants evaluated, parents of 149 infants agreed for a direct DPT, and only three had a positive test (2%). Symptoms resulting from the DPT were mild and easily treatable.
Conclusions: A direct DPT without prior tests is a safe and effective procedure to delabel BL allergy, even in infants. The authors wish to emphasize the importance of properly validating BL allergy suspicions by promoting appropriate diagnostic procedures in infants as, in most cases, DHRs can be excluded and there is no need for further therapeutic restrictions.

Authors: Mazurek-Durlak Zofia , Mularczyk Katarzyna , Kwinta Przemko , Lis Grzegorz , Cichocka-Jarosz Ewa
Published: March 2024

Morbihan syndrome (MS) is characterized by solid facial edema, usually related to rosacea or acne vulgaris. The facial edema deforms the patient’s features, can impair peripheral vision, and affects quality of life. Its pathophysiology remains unclear. The disease usually has a slow and chronic course. MS most commonly affects middle-aged Caucasian men with rosacea and is rare in people below 20 years of age. MS is a diagnosis of exclusion. There is no standard treatment for MS, though systemic isotretinoin and antihistamines are mainly used. We present the case of an adolescent girl with MS nonresponding to 19 months of isotretinoin treatment with add-on antihistamines. Therapy with monthly administration of omalizumab (anti-IgE) for 6 months was an effective therapeutic option, improving the quality of life. Our case is the second description of omalizumab use in Morbihan syndrome, the first in an adolescent.
"I Am Aware, but Who Am I to Comment.": Critical Stance in Indonesian EFL Students' Academic Essay
Authors: Suhandoko
Published: March 2024

The study examined the reporting verbs (RV) and tenses of RV in the academic essay of English-majored undergraduate students in Indonesia. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-method research design, the study first collected quantitative data in the form of frequency of RV using Hyland’s (2002) framework and tenses of RV using Thomas and Hawes’ (1997) framework. Qualitative data were then collected to explain the reasons behind the use of RV and the tenses of RV. The study found that discourse verbs are prevalent in the students’ essays, with 66,67% occurrence of total corpus, followed by research verbs, with 30,72% occurrence of the total corpus. Cognition verbs, however, were the least used, with 2,61% of the total corpus. The study also found that present tense (58,82%) and past tense (41,18%) were the most frequently used tenses in students’ RV. The interview revealed students’ reasons behind the frequent use of discourse and research verbs and the limited use of cognition verbs in their essays. Among which are their lack of engagement with literature and reticence to evaluate the author’s claims due to their inadequate cognitive competence and English proficiency. The study concludes that students’ use of discourse and research verbs reflects their relatively low criticality toward the cited materials.

Research into interpersonal relations in young offenders institutes
Authors:   University of Ostrava, Czech Republic, Sekera Julius
Published: March 2024

The article deals with the most important results of the grant research into interpersonal relations in young offenders institutes. The young offenders institutes are resocializing and reeducational establishments for maladaptive children and teenagers. In these institutes the research was done into relations between management workers and educators, relations among the educators themselves, relations between educators and wards and the attitudes of staff to the interpersonal behaviour. Information on results gained mostly by standardized methods are rather illustrative in the article. The main emphasis is put on the results of the so called non-structured participative observation. Students of the resocialization branch of counselling examined the communication of the pedagogical workers as well as the wards during the period of 4-10 weeks in 10 different institutes. The article informs mainly about the communication between management workers and educators and also between educators and wards.
Framework for evaluating TCP/IP extensions in communication protocols
Authors: Mantu Radu , Chiroiu Mihai , Tăpuș Nicolae
Published: March 2024

Most of the network and transport layer protocols had been designed with consideration for future extensions. As a result, variable-length sections had been devised in order to expand the fixed-size headers and allow the annotation of packets with metadata, known as protocol options. Although numerous enhancements such as MultiPath-TCP are based on these mechanisms, their support in the Internet is still generally considered to be opaque.
In this paper we introduce an extendable packet annotation tool for IP, TCP and UDP options, based on NetfilterQueue. Using this tool in conjunction with our testing framework that can incorporate multiple regions, we conducted a series of experiments to determine the acceptance rate of each type of option and whether new extensions will be readily supported in the Internet. Additionally, we discuss particularities of cloud provider infrastructures in dealing with certain options.
De Frankfurt a Konstanz: da estesia como ascese ao prazer comunicacional da catarse
Authors: Picado Benjamim
Published: March 2024

Resumo: Através de um exame sobre as ideias estéticas da Escola de Konstanz (em especial, nos textos de Wolfgang Iser e de Hans Robert Jauss), pretende-se fazer uma inflexão sobre os costumeiros enlaces entre comunicação e experiência estética, no modo como foram tradicionalmente cifrados, como aspectos de uma crítica aos processos de mediatização extremada, nas fases tardias do capitalismo - ilustradas pelo ideário filosófico da Escola de Frankfurt (especialmente nos escritos de Theodor W. Adorno e Walter Benjamin). Fixam-se como signos dessa inflexão a proposta de uma reabilitação de fenômenos como os do “efeito estético” (em Iser) e da “catarse” (em Jauss), como elementos que conjugam estados afetivos da receptividade estética de obras de arte com seu potencial de comunicabilidade, propondo, a partir daí, um outro tipo de enlace para a apreciação dos fenômenos, processos e produtos comunicacionais, em chave estética.
El significado de la necesidad y el determinismo en Spinoza
Authors: Medina Claudio Marín
Published: March 2024

Resumen: El problema del determinismo y la libertad en el ser humano ha sido un debate filosófico siempre fructífero. En esta discusión Spinoza es un referente al respecto, pues ya desde la publicación de sus obras ha generado controversia en torno a la problemática. Este trabajo busca clarificar el concepto de necesidad que utiliza Spinoza en su filosofía, para así desentrañar el sentido del determinismo que construye a partir de él. Dentro del análisis muestro que en la filosofía de Spinoza no hay una clara distinción entre necesidad lógica y necesidad metafísica. Además, argumento que los conceptos de contingencia y posibilidad son cuestiones de dicto y no de re en la filosofía del autor. Es decir, que ellas no son propiedades de las cosas mismas, sino maneras de hablar sobre ellas. Finalmente, concluyo que la tesis de Spinoza en torno al determinismo se debe entender principalmente como una teoría necesitarista, la cual puede ser compatible con un determinado sentido de la libertad en el ser humano.
A potência do educar: coisa singular, diferença e democracia em Espinosa
Authors: Silva Daniel Santos da
Published: March 2024

Resumo: O conceito de coisa singular e suas pegadas ético-políticas, na filosofia de Espinosa, orientam o texto a seguir, que se propõe pensar conjuntamente educação e civilidade. Com o filósofo holandês, aprende-se que união e conflito não são termos contraditórios, nem ética nem politicamente; enquadrar, daí, um campo de ação educativo põe a questão da democracia como fundante de um combate cotidiano ao medo e à servidão. Assim, a lida com a destruição - que não está nos seres singulares, mas surge nos encontros - e a ideia espinosana de um exemplar da natureza humana - abrem espaço para caracterizar a intensidade política da virtude como esforço de agir livremente e que passa pela educação. O texto assinala, pois, tempos de educação, a partir da diversidade de temporalidades que agem no corpo social e político.
Transformation of the consciousness of post-nomads in the context of globalization
Authors: Botokanova Gulnara , Alybaev Adylbek , Mursahmedova Gulnara
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Globalization has changed traditional society’s many aspects. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that one of the consequences of globalization is the loss of nomadic peoples’ traditions, culture, ideology and uniqueness, including post-nomads. The purpose of this study is a detailed analysis of the literature on how the post-nomads’ consciousness changes from globalization processes, and how nomads adapt to such processes. Having analysed all the problems and challenges for the post-nomads’ consciousness in the adaptation to globalization, it was revealed that the post-nomads’ cultural identity in the Kyrgyz Republic, with successful adaptation to modern living conditions, remains important. It is established that it is more expedient to introduce original development, in the form of a harmonious combination of traditions and innovations, to improve living standards. In the course of the study, recommendations were developed for the revival and preservation of post-nomads’ traditional values and culture, in the context of globalization, to preserve identity and ethnic identity.
Methods for identifying stress caused by fasting in commercial laying hens
Authors: Cesar Paula Horácio , Bedin Aline Félix Schneider , KunhenMayer Jaqueline , Souza Cleverson de , Gewehr Clóvis Eliseu
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT: Plasma corticosterone concentration (CORT), heterophil:lymphocyte ratio (H:L), catalase activity (CAT), total glutathione concentration (GSH), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance levels (TBARS) were evaluated in 48 Hy-Line Brown laying hens, at 79 weeks of age, after being fasted for 10 consecutive days. Blood was collected on days zero, two, four, six, eight, and 10 of fasting, and a completely randomized design was adopted, with eight replicates on each day of collection, with each bird being an experimental unit. The time of maximum stress was determined for each method, using the polynomial regression analysis. The Pearson correlation analysis was also performed to determine whether the methods were interchangeable. CORT and GSH concentrations indicated that the time of maximum stress occurred at 4.3 days of fasting, whereas, the H:L and CAT activity indicated that the time of maximum stress occurred at 10 days of fasting. The malondialdehyde concentration detected by the TBARS method was highest at day zero and lowest at day 5.5 of fasting, but this method was not a reliable measure of stress. The low Pearson correlation coefficients observed among the methods made it impossible to designate only one of the tested methods as a replacement for the others, to measure the stress in laying hens during fasting.

Published: March 2024

RESUMO O presente trabalho teve por objetivo apresentar os resultados obtidos para o comportamento mecânico do concreto considerando a substituição parcial dos teores dos agregados por resíduo industrial provenientes da usinagem de aço. Conhecidas as propriedades mecânicas dos metais, considera-se que a substituição parcial dos agregados em concretos por resíduos dessa natureza possa atuar não apenas como um fator de melhora no comportamento do material, mas também como uma maneira de se produzir uma destinação eficiente ao resíduo em questão, além de que, a substituição de agregados por materiais alternativos contribui para mitigar a escassez desses recursos. Dessa forma, o trabalho justifica-se pelas suas potencialidades em relação à engenharia de materiais cimentícios e impactos ligados à sustentabilidade das edificações. Para se investigar o material foram adotados três teores de substituições em relação ao peso de cimento, 5%, 10% e 15%, sendo efetuados ensaios para obtenção da absorção de água e consistência, além das resistências à tração indireta, compressão e módulo de elasticidade estático. A que a substituição dos agregados por resíduo de usinagem leva a maior qualidade do concreto produzido além de acréscimo de resistências, essa melhora se mostrou mais expressiva para a substituição do agregado miúdo, com aumento na resistência média à compressão e tração de até 73,70% e 73,71% respectivamente, obtendo-se através de aproximações não lineares o teor ótimo próximo a 12%, para as substituições de agregado graúdo teores acima dos estudados tendem a ser mais interessantes.
Tentativas clássicas de interpretação do efeito fotoelétrico – Parte 1: as hipóteses de Philipp Lenard, Arthur Haas e J.J. Thomson
Authors: Suttini Ronivan Sousa da Silva , Caluzi João José , Errobidart Nádia Cristina Guimarães
Published: March 2024

Estudos recentes têm renovado o esforço de chamar a atenção para a narrativa pseudo-histórica que descreve os resultados experimentais de Philipp Lenard sobre o efeito fotoelétrico como inexplicáveis e inconsistentes diante das predições da teoria ondulatória-eletromagnética clássica. No entanto, ao analisar o período de transição entre a rejeição e a aceitação da “hipótese de quantum de luz” de Albert Einstein, identificam-se pelo menos seis tentativas clássicas de interpretação do efeito fotoelétrico, as quais raramente são discutidas em livros didáticos ou textos acadêmicos. Neste primeiro artigo de uma série de três, são apresentadas quatro hipóteses clássicas de como o efeito fotoelétrico é produzido, formuladas, respectivamente, por Philipp Lenard (uma), Arthur E. Haas (uma) e por Joseph J. Thomson (duas). Os resultados fornecem subsídios para que professores e estudantes possam explorar aspectos conceituais, procedimentais e epistemológicos no contexto do desenvolvimento inicial da teoria quântica, a partir de uma visão problematizadora e histórica da atividade científica.

ABSTRACT Salt stress hampers the growth and physiology of nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), due to biochemical, physiological, and anatomical disruptions. The application of salicylic acid stands as an alternative to alleviate the detrimental effects of salt stress, but studies on nasturtium are scarce. Thus, the aim of present study was to assess the effects of foliar application of salicylic acid on nasturtium cultivated under salt stress. The experiment followed a completely randomized design in a 3 x 3 factorial scheme, with 0 (no stress), 50 (moderate salt stress), and 100 (severe salt stress) mM of NaCl, and application of 0, 0.5, and 1 mM of salicylic acid, each with six replications. Growth (plant height, stem diameter, and number of leaves), gas exchange (stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, transpiration, internal CO2 concentration, intrinsic water use efficiency, instantaneous water use efficiency, and intrinsic carboxylation efficiency), as well as chlorophyll indices and chlorophyll a fluorescence were evaluated. Salt stress affected the variables analyzed in this study. The application of salicylic acid had a positive effect on mitigating the effects of severe salt stress, resulting in a significant increase in the number of leaves. The most effective dose was 1 mM, also leading to notable improvements in water use efficiency and photochemical efficiency. However, other combinations of salinity and salicylic acid reduced growth and gas exchange in nasturtium plants.

ABSTRACT The use of Bacillus sp. mitigates salt stress and increases the productive yield in soybean plants. In this context, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the production of soybean grown under different forms of fertilization and salt stress, inoculated with Bacillus sp. The experiment was performed in the experimental area of the University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusophony (UNILAB), Redenção, Ceará, Brazil. A completely randomized design was used in a 4 x 2 x 2 factorial scheme, with five replications, corresponding to four forms of fertilization (F1 = 100% of the NPK recommendation; F2 = 50% of the NPK recommendation; F3 = 100% bovine biofertilizer; F4 = organomineral fertilization - 50% NPK + 50% bovine biofertilizer), two electrical conductivities of the irrigation water (ECw - 0.3 and 4.0 dS m-1), with and without inoculation of Bacillus sp. The forms of fertilization organic with 100% of the recommendation through bovine biofertilizer, organomineral fertilization - 50% mineral and 50% organic with bovine biofertilizer, and 50% of the NPK recommendation promote greater productive performance of the soybean crop irrigated with water of lower salinity. Organomineral fertilization - 50% mineral and 50% organic with bovine biofertilizer was more efficient for soybean production, in the absence or presence of Bacillus sp. Salt stress negatively affected the production components of soybean crop under all forms of fertilization.

ABSTRACT Salinity affects physiological processes, such as photosynthesis, in various agricultural crops, such as sorghum, around the world. Thus, mitigating techniques such as priming seeds with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can increase plant tolerance to salt stress. Thus, the objective of present study was to evaluate the priming of seeds with hydrogen peroxide on gas exchange and shoot phytomass of sorghum grown under salt stress. The treatments were distributed in a randomized block design, in a 4 × 4 factorial arrangement, with four levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water - (ECw- 0.3, 1.5, 3.5, and 5.5 dS m-1) and four concentrations of H2O2 (0, 6, 12, and 18 μM L-1), with three replications. The salinity of the water reduced gas exchange, shoot fresh and dry mass, in addition to shoot moisture content in sorghum plants. However, priming the seeds with H2O2 improved gas exchange and the accumulation of plant dry mass. Seed priming with H2O2 at dose of 8.2 µM increases the acclimatization of sorghum plants under salt stress.

As bases jurídico-institucionais da autonomia operacional do Banco Central do Brasil - 1999-2020
Authors: Schapiro Mario G.
Published: March 2024

Resumo Entre 1999 e 2020, o Banco Central do Brasil - BCB contou com um regime de autonomia operacional, mas, diferentemente da regra geral dos demais bancos centrais, seus dirigentes não contaram com um mandato funcional estabelecido em lei. Como explicar o funcionamento desta autonomia sem a existência de uma garantia legal? O artigo procura responder a esta questão realizando um estudo de caso em profundidade em que analisa a governança e a atuação do BCB. Seus achados confirmam a hipótese de trabalho de que uma complementaridade institucional de três fatores desempenhou o papel de substituto funcional de um mandato estabelecido em lei, são eles: a organização weberiana do BCB, as suas coalizões externas de proteção e a capacidade regulatória adquirida pela autarquia. A organização weberiana garantiu coesão à burocracia e limitou o controle político exercido por meio das nomeações; as coalizões externas reforçaram os poderes do BCB dentro do Estado e a capacidade regulatória institucionalizou a atuação do BCB, o que reforçou um comportamento deferente das demais autoridades em relação às suas políticas.

Resumo O tema das transferências, transplantes ou migrações constitucionais vem, com a abertura dos constitucionalismos ao âmbito internacional, sendo objeto de grandes discussões. Neste contexto, a reflexão sobre algumas ideias formuladas por alguns autores anglófonos pode ser relevante para o desenvolvimento da discussão no Brasil, sobretudo o conceito de migração, que permite a identificação de maiores nuances do que a noção de transferências ou transplantes. O trabalho busca apresentar um panorama do debate acerca da comparação constitucional, com enfoque nos autores anglófonos e no conceito de migração de ideias constitucionais. Para tanto, utiliza-se do método de revisão bibliográfica, a partir, notadamente, dos estudos de Ran Hirschl, Mark Tushnet, Vicki Jackson e Kim Scheppele. Espera-se que a reflexão possa servir de base para o desenvolvimento da temática no Brasil, um campo ainda em construção de fundamentação mais sólida.
Avivar a autonomia: movimentos sociais, economia solidária e experimentações democráticas para além do Estado
Authors: Oliveira Gustavo Moura de
Published: March 2024

Resumo Nos últimos 30 anos, diversos movimentos sociais brasileiros apostaram na tática da ação institucionalizada; e muitas foram as análises sobre interação socioestatal no período. Essa espécie de encantamento com a capacidade democrática do Estado brasileiro entregou menor importância às experiências de exercício democrático registradas na sociedade civil. No entanto, tal abordagem parece perder forças depois do Golpe de 2016 e da ascensão de Jair Bolsonaro à Presidência da República. Partindo de uma investigação mais ampla, o objetivo deste esforço foi o de explorar os períodos pré e pós-encantamento, no âmbito da trajetória do Movimento da Economia Solidária Brasileira, a fim de compreender como se dá o exercício da democracia para além ou apesar do Estado. Conclui-se que, tendencialmente, a ideia de autonomia-como-práxis-democrática poderia contribuir à elucidação de um tipo de democracia centrado na dupla território-comunidade, no qual autogestão e auto-organização importam mais do que a disputa democrática no âmbito do Estado.

Un ensayo de interpretación de los mecanismos de apropiación pedagógica: las prácticas decroly en españa (1910-1940)
Authors: Pozo-Andres Maria del Mar Del
Published: March 2024

RESUMEN Este artículo aborda los mecanismos de apropiación pedagógica de una innovación educativa, los denominados “centros de interés”, que se identifican con el pedagogo belga Ovide Decroly. Se analizan los modos en los que se produjo la circulación de los saberes pedagógicos sobre los centros de interés entre los grupos de iguales, es decir, de qué manera el profesorado se comunicó sus ensayos y prácticas escolares. Y se estudia cómo esos procesos de transferencia entre iguales transformaron los mecanismos de apropiación de las prácticas escolares decrolyanas.

In contemporary architecture, textile membranes offer a wide range of possible structural applications, especially for facades and roofs with large spans and where the reduction of self-weight plays an important role for an efficient and sustainable structural design. On 30 November 2021, the Al Bayt Stadium was inaugurated in Qatar; with its 190 000 m2 of textile membrane it is one of the biggest architectural membrane projects in the world. An innovative new membrane material with a natural textile appearance was developed from scratch to meet the specific requirements of the project. This makes the construction of Al Bayt Stadium, shaped like the local Bedouin tents, a milestone in modern membrane architecture; this is attributable not only due to the pure size of the membrane, but also to the significant advances made in textile membrane material design and development as part of the project. Other design aspects include the large, retractable roof above the pitch, which transforms the open-air stadium into a fully enclosed and temperature-controlled multi-purpose arena within minutes. This paper presents details of the design and construction aspects of the stadium, as well as the material development conducted for the inner membrane.
Monetary Policy Shocks: Data or Methods?
Authors: Brennan Connor M. , Jacobson Margaret M. , Matthes Christian , Walker Todd B.
Published: March 2024

Different series of high-frequency monetary shocks can have a correlation coefficient as low as 0.5 and the same sign in only two-thirds of observations. Both data and methods drive these differences, which are starkest when the federal funds rate is at its effective lower bound. Methods that exploit the differential responsiveness of short- and long-term asset prices can incorporate additional information. After documenting differences in monetary shocks, we explore their consequence for inference. We find that empirical estimates of monetary policy transmission from local projections and VARs are less affected by shock choice than forecast revision specifications.
Reichweite und Grenzen der völkerrechtskonformen Interpretation des Grundgesetzes
Authors: Polzin Monika
Published: March 2024

This article deals with the constitutional limits of interpretations of the German Basic Law in the light of public international law. To this end, it first presents the jurisprudence of the Second Senate of the German Constitutional Court that has developed constitutional limits for the accommodation of public international law within the interpretation of the German Constitution. The central assumption here is, that openness to international law can only be effective within the framework of the democratic and constitutional system of the Basic Law. However, two recent decisions of the First Senate call this approach into question. The triage decision of the First Senate of 16 December 2021, and the climate decision of 24 March 2021, point to a more creative and less restrictive approach to the use of international law when interpret the German Basic law. Finally, it is argued that it is absolutely necessary to adhere to the constitutional limits established by the Second Senate, especially because of the danger of a possible autocratisation of international law. The openness of the Basic Law towards international law is not arbitrary, but in the words of the German Constitutional Court connected to “an international legal order that preserves freedom and peace”.

b Source apportionment of PM2.5-10 and PM2.5 was conducted using two receptor models: the principal component analysis/absolute principal component scores (PCA/APCS) and the positive matrix factorization (PMF). Methods: The PCA/APCS model resolved four sources, namely, mineral dust, sea salt/secondary sulfur, a mixed source, and traffic and industry emissions. PMF model also resolved four sources of the same origin based on the proportion of each component from the analysis. All models identified the main sources that contribute to PM2.5-10 and PM2.5 emissions and reconfirmed that the potential sources were the dominants in particulate matter in the Capital city. Findings: The first four extracted component accounted for nearly 88.3% of the variability of the data set. The running matrix elements used for data processing within collected air particulate matter was BC, Na, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, Sr, Ba, and Pb. This discrimination of the area of Dakar cites according to the PCA/APCS results confirms the impact that the major activities have on the environment in the most appropriate way, and it verifies the results of previous studies about the influence of Industry emissions, mineral dust, traffic emissions and sea salt/secondary sulfur on the surrounding urban areas. Novelty: Continued collection of speciation data at the urban areas will enhance the understanding of local versus regional source contributions for air quality index in sub-Sahara region.
