Introduction: In physical education lessons, the proper rationalization of methods targeting psychomotor components will lead to improved coordination, perception, and analysis of body movements and the movements of its various parts in their interaction. A rationalized training system applied in teaching can prevent the phenomenon of insufficient or excessive exercise, promoting the standardized performance of exercises, which plays an important role in students’ physical and mental health. Objective: The general objective of this study is the rationalization of specific methods aimed at optimizing balance and flexibility in the instructional process for students aged 6-10 years. Methods: The Flamingo Test was used to determine lower body balance, and the Sit and Reach Test was used to measure flexibility. Results: The results of this study revealed significant differences in balance and flexibility performance among students in grades 1-4, both by gender and overall. The Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests were used to evaluate these differences. For balance on one leg, p-values ranged from 0.003 to 0.75, indicating significant differences in some classes, particularly in grades 1 and 2. Flexibility, measured through jumping tests, showed significant differences in grade 2 (p=0.011) and grade 1 (p=0.032). These findings suggest the need for personalized interventions in balance and flexibility training to optimize physical development at these ages. Conclusions: Proper structuring of exercises, based on a detailed assessment of each student’s individual needs, facilitates improvements in balance and flexibility. This is reflected in both student performance and physical activities, having a positive impact on the overall educational process.

ocupaciones indígenas en las islas de Choele Choel: un abordaje arqueológico
Authors: Mange Emiliano , Romano Victoria , Saghessi Daniela , Prates Luciano
Published: December 2024

Se presentan los primeros estudios arqueológicos realizados en las islas de Choele Choel (provincia de Río Negro, Argentina), y se describen con mayor detalle los hallazgos en el sitio Fábrega. Allí, las excavaciones sobre un médano permitieron recuperar artefactos líticos y restos óseos humanos y faunísticos, compatibles con una ocupación residencial. Los resultados muestran que el conjunto es similar a otros cercanos e incluye principalmente materiales provenientes de sectores altos del valle. Sobre la base de los materiales presentes y el estudio de imágenes satelitales se propone que el sitio habría sido una ocupación en un meandro externo a la isla, incorporado al área insular por su resección. A escala microrregional, la escasez de sitios arqueológicos y la baja densidad de artefactos sugiere que las islas de Choele Choel no constituyeron un lugar destacado en momentos prehispánicos como si lo fueron para las sociedades indígenas de los últimos siglos.
The cyclicality of fiscal policy during Covid-19 pandemic in the OIC countries
Authors: Wibowo Muhammad Ghafur , Nurdany Achmad , Berakon Izra , Ihsan Akmal
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this research is to explore the cyclical behavior of fiscal policy during Covid-19 pandemic in 42 countries under Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Most of the OIC countries experienced doubled fiscal deficit along with slower growth during this unprecedented pandemic, which then led them to deal with an increase in debt burden. We use fixed effect panel estimation procedure to investigate macroeconomic determinants of fiscal deficits. The paper focused on secondary data of the democracy index, population, GDP growth, FDI, inflation, interest rate, current account balance, grant and expenditure variables between 2001 to 2022 period. The study revealed that macroeconomic variables determine the fiscal deficit, while good governance which is represented by the voice accountability and democracy index don’t. Further analysis showed that public participation, government accountability, and the democracy index strengthen the relationship between government spending and FDI in dealing with fiscal deficits. However, if good governance has interacted with the current account balance and grant funds, it turns out to have a significant negative effect. The findings are appropriate for the OIC country’s decision-makers to incorporate the need for recovery funds and fiscal deficit policy.

Authors: Jiang Jiuhua
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The growing global focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards necessitates that companies optimize their corporate governance to balance economic, social, and ecological responsibilities. This study examines how the synergistic effects of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental Responsibility (ER) can promote sustainable corporate development. Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the critical elements of corporate governance structure optimization and to explore how companies can enhance their governance to achieve sustainable development through strengthened social and environmental management practices. Methods: The study uses case analysis and literature review to assess high-performing enterprises in CSR and ER integration, examining their governance, policy, and environmental strategies to uncover the factors behind their success in economic, social, and environmental spheres. Results: The research shows that optimizing governance structures markedly improves operational effectiveness. Companies need to create strong internal controls for equitable and transparent decisions, embedding CSR and ER into their strategies. CSR fulfillment builds public trust and environmental support, whereas ER improves brand reputation and competitiveness, driving sustainable and mutually advantageous development. Conclusion: The key to sustainable development in ESG practice lies in optimizing corporate governance and strengthening the synergy between social and environmental responsibilities. It is imperative for companies to build a governance structure that complies with ESG standards and to incorporate social and environmental considerations into their corporate strategies to effectively manage the triple bottom line of economic, social, and environmental performance.

Prestação de alimentos com partes residentes em diferentes países e a relevância da cooperação internacional: considerações jurídicas para fins de propositura e fixação de alimentos
Authors: Terres Mari Giane Ricardo da Cruz , Gonçalves Ane Elise Brandalise
Published: December 2024

O dever de prestação de alimentos e a necessidade destes pode ultrapassar fronteiras, afinal, com o aumento e a mobilidade de pessoas, existem inúmeras famílias em que uma das partes reside em um país diferente daquele que pleiteia alimentos. Sendo assim, surge a necessidade de criação de mecanismos internacionais cooperativos para regular as relações das pessoas que não residem no mesmo país, sobretudo em matéria de alimentos, nas quais uma das partes necessita destes para manutenção e sobrevivência. Nessa perspectiva, como a pesquisa é voltada ao estudo da prestação de alimentos com partes residentes em diferentes países, o artigo tem por objetivo expor as três principais convenções de que o Brasil faz parte em matéria de alimentos, e abordar também sobre seus conceitos gerais. São as referidas convenções analisadas: (1) Convenção da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) sobre a prestação de alimentos no estrangeiro ou Convenção de Nova Iorque; (2) Convenção Interamericana sobre Obrigação Alimentar; (3) Convenção sobre a Cobrança Internacional de Alimentos para Crianças e Outros Membros da Família ou Convenção de Haia. A metodologia aplicada nessa pesquisa é qualitativa, tendo como método de abordagem o dedutivo, utilizando-se de revisão bibliográfica extraída a partir da doutrina e legislação. Ao final do artigo, destacam-se os principais aspectos jurídicos para fins de propositura e fixação de alimentos com base nas convenções analisadas.
A “pornografia de vingança” como abuso sexual baseado em imagens: um caso de continuum de violência sexual
Authors: Mathias Mozara , Borges Eduardo
Published: December 2024

Nos últimos anos, surgiu em diversos países o fenômeno coloquialmente conhecido como “pornografia de vingança”, fenômeno que ganhou notoriedade e recebeu tratamento criminal, tendo, muitos países, sendo introduzido leis que combatem. Embora o enfrentamento a essa prática represente um avanço positivo, a resposta social a partir do termo empregado tem sido fragmentada e normalmente se concentra apenas nas práticas de ex-parceiros vingativos. Ao mesmo tempo em que o termo restringe e minimiza a sua aplicação, acaba por atribuir culpa às vítimas-sobreviventes ao refere-se como pornografia, centralizando nelas a falsa percepção de escolha e legitimidade e incentivando – por via indireta – a erotização e incentivando o interesse lascivo da mídia na divulgação desses fenômenos. Assim, em consonância com a literatura estrangeira, propomos que a “pornografia de vingança” seja entendida como “abuso sexual baseado em imagem” e como apenas uma forma de um conjunto de práticas de abuso sexualizadas e generificadas com características comuns que constituem o que conceituamos como um continuum de abuso sexual. Também argumentamos que o abuso sexual baseado em imagem está em um continuum com outras formas de violência sexual.

Authors: Portella Rafaela da Silva , Toporoski Elizeu Luiz
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo visa demonstrar como deve ocorrer a tributação para empresas de pequeno porte enquadradas no regime do simples nacional, sendo que a criação do referido regime tem como objetivo trazer diversos benefícios, a fim de tornar a tributação mais simplificada, para que empresas menores consigam expandir economicamente. A tributação no simples nacional ocorre de forma unificada, englobando diversos tributos em uma única guia de pagamento, todavia, mesmo com um regime tributário mais benéfico, as empresas ainda enfrentam problemas na rotina tributária. Utilizando a pesquisa através do método dedutivo, pode-se verificar que muitas empresas são prejudicadas pelo pagamento indevido ou a maior de tributos, sendo que este pagamento pode ser ressarcido às empresas, conforme preceitua a constituição federal e o código tributário nacional.
Exploring the Relevance of Values Generated by Music Organisations in Consumers
Authors: Berné Carmen , Cuadrado-García Manuel , Múgica Ana
Published: December 2024

The digital revolution has significantly changed the way music is consumed, particularly among young people. This technological transformation, coupled with economic and sociocultural shifts, has heightened interest in studying music consumption across various scientific disciplines. However, the identity of music consumers, demographic influences and the diversity of consumption in today’s context remain areas ripe for exploration. To contribute to this line of inquiry, this paper employs the arts and cultural organisation (ACO) model (Addis & Rurale 2021) to conduct exploratory research on music values from the consumer perspective. An electronic survey was utilised as the data gathering technique among music listeners. The results highlight the significance of music in fostering personal joy and creating community, along with the considerable value attributed to music as a catalyst for discussion and innovation. Moreover, the well-being value is associated with entertainment, joy and relaxation derived from listening to music. Finally, age emerges as a variable capable of elucidating trends in the assessment of creativity and well-being values.

STANCE OF APPROBATION AND GENEROSITY MAXIMS: A CASE STUDY OF A RURAL-BASED COMMUNITY
Authors: Nephawe Farisani Thomas
Published: December 2024

The politeness maxims have been sustaining peace and harmony among rural communities from times immemorial by minimising the expression of praise of self and maximising the expression of dispraise of self. Nevertheless, the current philosophies of life surreptitiously devalue their social practice. This study investigated approbation and generosity maxims as the behavioural and cultural perspectives that build holistic narrative descriptions among the rural community. Grounded by Leech’s politeness principle and Wenger’s communities of practice, the study adopted the ethnographic qualitative approach. The study population comprised seven purposively selected rural community members and three traditional Vhangona leaders. Data were collected using formal and informal semi-structured interviews for over a year. Two informants participated in the investigation to ensure accurate data collection. A thematic analysis was employed to identify patterns, create codes, and arrange thematically. The preliminary investigation on five rural community members and one traditional chief found that some community members despised approbation and generosity maxims. Nonetheless, after applying a ‘foot-in-the-door’ technique, most community members cherished these maxims exceptionally.’ The implication of this study promotes observation of approbation and generosity maxims. The study argues for incessant resoluteness and resilience in this regard.

Ecological Grief and Anxiety: The Voice of Native American in Joy Harjo’s Selected Poems
Authors: Astuti Epata Puji , Iskarna Tatang
Published: December 2024

The arrival of European colonizers led to the disruption of the nature and ecosystem. As the indigenous people with a close relationship to nature, Native Americans express their grief and anxiety about the condition of nature through literary work. The study presented in the present article aims to scrutinize three selected poems by Joy Harjo “Remember”, “Praise the Rain”, and “I am a Prayer” to see how the poet expresses her ecological grief and anxiety. The lines and stanzas of each poem are analyzed using the theory of intrinsic elements and the five stages of grief by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. The researchers use a descriptive qualitative method and employ a psychological approach to reveal the speaker's suffering in the poem psychologically in which she feels grieved because of the loss of nature. The findings were that there were five stages of grief portrayed in the poems implicitly, that is, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The speaker’s grief and anxiety can be seen from the personification, repetition, and imagery used in the poems. Joy Harjo offers a different way to experience the stage of ecological grief and anxiety. She invites us to honor the journey of grief with empathy, wisdom, and a profound appreciation for the natural world. Harjo invites a deeper awareness that is both accepting of past wounds and open to future possibilities. The acceptance of grief is a crucial step toward reconnection. It is only by accepting the grief of what has been lost that one can truly remember, appreciate, and care for what remains.

Scopus Indexing Delays of Articles Published in Major Pharmacy Practice Journals
Authors: Adeosun Samuel
Published: December 2024

Background: Authors of bibliometric studies often wait for an arbitrarily prolonged period to allow for complete indexing of documents in the Scopus database after the end of the period to be studied (period-of-interest), thus negatively affecting recency (interval between publication date the date of the latest data reported) in bibliometric studies.
Objective: The goal of this study was to determine the indexing delays in Scopus following online publication, to provide evidence-based recommendations for when data collection in Scopus should start after the end of the period-of-interest.
Methods: Scopus indexing dates were prospectively collected for documents published in 2022 in 7 major pharmacy practice journals (aim 1). A time-to-event analysis was done on all documents published online from August to October 2022 (aim 2). Median indexing delays and Kaplan-Meier curves of indexing delays were also compared between Scopus and PubMed using Wilcoxon signed-rank and Log-Rank tests, respectively. 
Results: All 7 journals (843 documents) and 4 journals (212 documents) were included (aims 1 and 2, respectively). Median indexing delay was significantly longer in Scopus versus PubMed (36 vs. 3 days). The Kaplan-Meier curves were also significantly different; with median survival time of indexing in Scopus and PubMed being 4 and 2 weeks, respectively. Notably, 91% of the subset studied have been indexed in Scopus (versus 97% in PubMed) by 10 weeks after online publication.
Conclusion: Scopus indexing delays do not support the arbitrarily prolonged wait for bibliometric data to accumulate. A 10-week wait time provides a reasonable balance between the recency and completeness of published data. This evidence-based recommendation would improve recency without sacrificing data completeness in bibliometric studies.
ABDOMINAL SPLANCHNIC ARTERIAL MAPPING OF Cerdocyon thous: HELPING IN SURGICAL PLANNING
Authors: Pereira Rogério Silva , Lima Ana Rita de , Branco Erika
Published: December 2024

Inconceivable that in the 21st century, veterinary extrapolate knowledge of domestic animal anatomy to wild animals, neglecting the patient, especially in the face of the increasing number of professionals claiming to be wild animal specialists. Thus, we mapped the abdominal splanchnic arterial vasculature of Cerdocyon thous, with the aim of contributing to professionals who work directly with wild animal surgery. In specimens whose arterial system was evidenced by stained latex, we identified anatomical variations when compared to other species. The jejunal arteries issued nine branches, and the caudal abdominal phrenic and cranial arteries arose from the common trunk of the abdominal aorta. The cranial abdominal artery was bifurcated and inserted into the cranial pole of the left kidney, while the left renal artery was bifurcated in one specimen; in another specimen, the left renal artery was double and penetrated the renal pelvis. One specimen had the right kidney more caudally in relation to the left kidney, similar to the corresponding renal artery. The left renal artery originated from the left adrenal artery, and the right internal iliac artery was bifurcated. Given these findings, such knowledge is crucial in the clinical and surgical care of this species, as it will allow for the greatest success of the professionals involved.

Published: December 2024

Aim. To determine the level of professional burnout among pharmacists in different regions of Ukraine and evaluate the main factors contributing to the occurrence of this condition.
Materials and methods. During the study, the methods of system analysis, generalization, comparison, logical analysis, as well as the survey method according to Maslach and the developed author’s questionnaire were used.
Results. Most pharmaceutical workers experience fatigue, reduced interest in work and difficulty waking up in the morning, which indicates a high level of occupational stress and burnout. In addition, a significant percentage of respondents complain of emotional exhaustion and depression, which deepens the negative impact on their motivation. The main factors contributing to burnout are job monotony, low financial remuneration, workplace conflicts and lack of proper support from colleagues and management. In addition, most pharmaceutical workers feel that their work is underestimated, which reduces overall satisfaction with the profession. The consequences of professional burnout are deterioration in the quality of customer service, an increase in the number of errors in the pharmacists’ work, and an increase in staff turnover in pharmacies.
Conclusions. The vast majority of pharmacists experience signs of professional burnout, which often forces them to change their workplace or even their field of activity. In order to reduce this phenomenon, it is necessary to take comprehensive measures aimed at optimizing the workload, providing psychological support, creating favorable working conditions and properly evaluating the professional efforts of pharmaceutical workers. Special attention should be paid to the implementation of programs for the development of professional stress management skills.
Oligarchic Hegemony in Elections: A Criminal Offense Undermining Integrity and Threatening Democracy in Indonesia
Authors: Hosnah Asmak Ul , Antoni Herli , Rohaedi Edi , Nuraeny Henny , Faturachman Fauzan Azima
Published: December 2024

The election of the President and Vice President serves as a fundamental pillar of democracy and a crucial moment in the democratic process in Indonesia. However, in recent decades, the hegemony of oligarchs has posed a significant threat to the fairness and integrity of the electoral system. Oligarchs, wielding substantial power and influence, frequently manipulate the electoral process for personal and group interests, often resorting to criminal activities such as bribery, political intimidation, and the misuse of state resources. These actions undermine the legitimacy of elections and erode public trust in the democratic process. This research seeks to analyze the methods employed by oligarchs in the presidential election as criminal acts that damage the integrity of the electoral process in Indonesia. Using a normative legal approach, this research examines various written sources, including books, journals, and empirical data from past elections. The findings reveal a consistent pattern of legal violations by oligarchs that significantly compromise the electoral process. Based on these findings, the research recommends reforms aimed at strengthening the enforcement of criminal laws related to elections and enhancing the capacity of electoral oversight institutions to prevent oligarchic interference. These reforms are crucial for preserving an inclusive and fair democracy in Indonesia.
Neglecting Transparency in the Qur'an Recitation Test for Legislative Candidates in Aceh
Authors: Karim Zahlul Pasha , Muazzinah Muazzinah , Bantasyam Saifuddin , Efendi Sumardi
Published: December 2024

This research examines the neglect of the principle of transparency in Qur'an literacy tests for legislative candidates in Aceh, which has hindered voters from making informed decisions. It explores two key questions: What forms does the neglect of transparency take in the Qur'an literacy test for legislative candidates in Aceh? And what are the causes and impacts of this neglect? The findings reveal that the neglect of transparency occurs in two primary forms: first, the establishment of subjective score standards, and second, the refusal of the Independent Electoral Commission (KIP) Aceh to publicly announce the test results. This issue arises from the absence of regulatory mechanisms that would require KIP Aceh to disclose the test outcomes and from the closed process by which the score standards are determined in collaboration with the Qur'an Reading Test Team. The impact of this neglect is the limited public access to vital information needed to elect legislators with religious competence, a quality of significant importance in Aceh, where religious knowledge plays a key role in qualifying individuals for public office.
A formação docente como estratégia para prevenir o tecnoestresse e a violação de limites trabalho-família em professores da educação básica
Authors: Demboski Gabriela , Silva Raquel Corrêa da Silva da , Costa Carlos
Published: December 2024

O uso crescente de tecnologias de informação e comunicação no contexto educacional tem gerado o tecnoestresse (também conhecido como estresse tecnológico – um estado psicológico negativo causado pelo uso excessivo ou inadequado de tecnologias de informação e comunicação), que afeta a saúde mental dos professores. Este estudo examinou a relação entre tecnoestresse e conflito trabalho-família em 455 professores da educação básica, levando em consideração as características dos setores público e privado. Os resultados indicam que os professores de escolas públicas apresentaram níveis mais elevados de tecnoestresse, enquanto os professores de escolas privadas apresentaram níveis mais altos de inibição a esse estresse tecnológico. As descobertas deste estudo podem ser úteis para os gestores escolares na implementação de estratégias como políticas de flexibilidade, suporte de automonitoramento digital e treinamento sobre o uso de tecnologias de informação e comunicação, a fim de mitigar os efeitos do tecnoestresse. No entanto, pesquisas futuras com delineamentos longitudinais são necessárias para aprofundar a compreensão dessa relação.
Migração estudantil e preconceito de origem geográfica: um estudo com estudantes do Norte e Nordeste brasileiro na Universidade Federal de Goiás
Authors: Alves Higo Gabriel Santos , Noleto Sylvana de Oliveira Bernardi
Published: December 2024

Compreende-se que a migração estudantil interestadual tem se estruturado enquanto política educacional devido ao conjunto de ações empreendidas pelo Estado brasileiro, que intencionam para essa finalidade. Neste sentido, objetiva-se com este texto conhecer as vivências dos estudantes brasileiros nortistas e nordestinos que migram para acessar à educação superior e a sua percepção do preconceito de origem geográfica. Após realizar entrevistas com estudantes provenientes dessas regiões, constatou-se que, além das dificuldades encontradas para se afiliarem institucional e intelectualmente à universidade, os que são provenientes dos estados do Norte e Nordeste do país, lidam com o preconceito de origem geográfica. Para tanto, a análise dos dados foi fundamentada nos estudos de Albuquerque Júnior (2011; 2012; 2016), Goffman (2008) e Santos (2012). Conclui-se que a permanência do estudante está vinculada às suas condições objetivas, mas não se pode diminuir o impacto de questões que afetam a subjetividade desses sujeitos, como é o caso do preconceito de origem geográfica.

The results showed that the highest adsorption capacity was obtained at a flow rate of 30 mL/min compared to other flow rate variations. At that flow rate, the nitrate sorption capacity reached 4.10 mg/g with biochar, 0.20 mg/g using biochar : polyurethane foam (1 : 1) media, and 13.12 mg/g using biochar : polyurethane foam (2 : 1) media. The biochar : polyurethane foam (2 : 1) media showed the highest nitrate adsorption capacity, which was caused by an increase in the contact time of the flow in the media due to more polyurethane foam volume. This study concludes that sufficient contact time between the contaminant and the adsorption media in the column is a key factor for nitrate removal optimization in addition to the adsorbent material used.Keywords:Â Adsorption, Biochar, Polyurethane foam, NitrateÂ ABSTRAKPenelitian ini mengkaji penyisihan nitrat dari limbah cair menggunakan metode adsorpsi kolom dengan variasi rasio biochar dan busa poliuretan, serta variasi laju alir. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kapasitas adsorpsi tertinggi diperoleh pada laju alir 30 mL/menit dibandingkan variasi laju alir lainnya. Pada laju alir tersebut, kapasitas sadorpsi nitrat mencapai 4,10 mg/g dengan biochar, 0,20 mg/g menggunakan media biochar : busa poliuretan (1 : 1), dan 13,12 mg/g menggunakan media biochar : busa poliuretan (2 : 1). Media biochar : busa poliuretan (2 : 1) menunjukkan kapasitas adsorpsi nitrat paling tinggi, yang disebabkan oleh peningkatan waktu kontak aliran dalam media akibat kandungan busa poliuretan yang lebih banyak. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa waktu kontak yang cukup antara kontaminan dan media adsorpsi dalam kolom merupakan faktor kunci untuk optimasi penyisihan nitrat selain material adsorben yang dipakai.Kata kunci:Â Adsorpsi, Biochar, Busa poliuretan, Nitrat

Roads and highways are of paramount importance for national trade and transportation. Linked to this, we observe various environmental impacts, including the invasion of wildlife habitat, the roadkill of wild animals, and consequent harm to the fauna in the vicinity of the highways. The aim of the study was to characterize the intestinal parasitic fauna of wild animals killed by roadkill in Northern Paraná. Wild animals killed by roadkill were collected in situ on the main highways in the northern region of Paraná and were sent to the State University of Londrina for autopsy and biological material collection. The parasitological fecal examinations performed included Willis, Faust, and Hoffmann methods. Our results revealed a large quantity of parasites, and even though the research was conducted with a small number of animals, the results may have broader implications. Many of the parasites found have zoonotic potential, such as parasites from the classes Trematoda and Cestoda, subclass Coccidia, family Trichostrongylidae, and genera Ancylostoma spp. and Capillaria spp. It can be concluded that the identification of the intestinal parasitic fauna of wild animals killed by roadkill is a valuable tool for investigating parasites with zoonotic potential. Further studies focusing on this characterization are necessary due to the increasing interaction between humans and wild animals. This is the first report of Octosporella-like oocysts in Nasua nasua in Brazil. Molecular studies are required for confirmation.
A DEMOCRACIA DIGITAL COMO INSTRUMENTO DE FISCALIZAÇÃO DA REPRESENTAÇÃO POLÍTICA
Authors: Leão José Bruno Martins , Oliveira Michel Elias de Azevedo
Published: December 2024

A tecnologia proporcionou uma releitura da participação política no Estado democrático. Com o avanço tecnológico, cidadania e democracia não podem mais ser interpretadas de maneira conceitualmente fechada e limitada ao entendimento clássico da matéria. Neste cenário de interações sociais dinâmicas e virtuais, a concepção de cidadão, antes circunscrita à ideia de um titular de direitos vinculado à nacionalidade, tornou-se insuficiente, assim como a perspectiva da prática democrática somente atrelada à existência de um governo para o povo e pelo povo também não fornece uma compreensão integralmente adequada e adaptada aos novos tempos de interferência cívica nos rumos do Estado. Por isso, hoje, considera-se que a cidadania e a democracia digital são expressões cuja observação se faz necessária para se manter a atualidade dos meios de ação política, nos quais o cidadão desempenha um papel mais ativo na sociedade, aproximando-se das instituições políticas, dos gestores públicos e dos representantes eleitos, com o intuito de obter informações e reivindicar prestações de contas referentes ao controle da representatividade política. Com base em revisão de bibliografia, neste artigo, apresentou-se a concepção de democracia por meio da reprodução da classificação tradicional de regime político exercitável direta ou indiretamente; além disso, analisou-se os conceitos de cidadania e democracia digital como produto do avanço da tecnologia informacional e comunicacional, a partir do que se concebeu a participação política nas redes de interação interpessoal e virtual enquanto técnica de controle e fiscalização dos negócios públicos e da atuação dos representantes eleitos.
ANÁLISE CRÍTICA SOBRE O ENSINO JURÍDICO NO BRASIL
Authors: Rissi Rosiane Sasso
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo promover uma análise crítica sobre o modelo de ensino jurídico vigente nas instituições brasileiras de ensino superior, bem como verificar o papel do docente no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Neste sentido, parte de sua contextualização histórica a fim de delinear os motivos de sua má qualidade na atualidade. Busca ainda situar o direito como um objeto cultural, considerando as três dimensões da experiência jurídica: a normativa, a fática e a valorativa, para que se possa compreender de forma integral o fenômeno jurídico, priorizando uma formação humanística em detrimento da técnico-legalista. Enfatiza também a importância do papel do docente no processo de ensino-aprendizagem e a necessidade de uma formação continuada voltada para a prática pedagógica. Por fim, conclui pela necessidade de mudança, apresentando algumas propostas que podem contribuir para a superação da crise experimentada. Essas questões foram analisadas com a utilização do método dedutivo, partindo-se da identificação histórica acerca do modelo de ensino jurídico vigente, para depois, apontar os atuais desafios enfrentados pela comunidade acadêmica no que se refere à qualidade do ensino, propondo soluções para tanto.
A JUSTIÇA COMO EQUIDADE: UMA EXPLORAÇÃO DO LIBERALISMO POLÍTICO DE JOHN RAWLS
Authors: Greco Junior Raul , Greco Patricia Gasparro Sevilha , Soares Marcos Antônio Striquer
Published: December 2024

Este artigo explora a teoria da justiça do filósofo John Rawls, uma influência significativa na filosofia política do século XX. O trabalho de Rawls é analisado, resgatando os princípios fundamentais que sustentam sua teoria e as várias críticas e interpretações que surgiram em resposta a ela. O artigo começa com uma discussão sobre o Liberalismo Político, uma doutrina que defende a garantia de direitos fundamentais, como a liberdade, a propriedade e a igualdade perante a lei. O trabalho de Rawls é então apresentado, com foco em sua obra mais influente, "Uma Teoria da Justiça", que introduziu conceitos revolucionários como a posição original e o véu da ignorância. Estes conceitos têm sido fundamentais para debates subsequentes sobre justiça e equidade. O artigo também explora os princípios fundamentais da teoria da justiça rawlsiana: o Princípio da Liberdade e o Princípio da Diferença. Analisa-se como Rawls concebe a liberdade individual e os bens sociais, e como ele propõe equilibrá-los para promover a justiça como equidade. Finalmente, o artigo examina as críticas e interpretações que surgiram em resposta à teoria da justiça de Rawls. O objetivo do artigo é não apenas apresentar os princípios fundamentais da teoria de Rawls, mas, também, explorar as críticas e interpretações que surgiram em resposta a ela, destacando a relevância contínua do trabalho de Rawls para as discussões contemporâneas sobre justiça social e política. Para tanto, utilizou-se do método de levantamento bibliográfico e análise qualitativa.
VIOLÊNCIA SEXUAL NA ERA DIGITAL: UM ESTUDO SOBRE A CRIMINALIZAÇÃO DO ESTUPRO VIRTUAL

Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa a criminalização do estupro virtual sob a lente do Código Penal Brasileiro, destacando os entendimentos normativos e os desafios enfrentados pelas autoridades jurídicas na sua efetiva caracterização e punição. Por meio de uma revisão de literatura e estudo de caso, observa-se que o Brasil caminha a passos lentos para uma instrumentalização técnico-normativa da prática de estupro virtual em seu ordenamento jurídico. Verifica-se que as práticas de cibercrimes na legislação brasileira carecem de uma definição-tipificação legal para o delito de estupro virtual. A ausência de uma tipificação legal clara tem exigido do Poder Judiciário uma transformação em seus aparatos normativos e tecnológicos, visando celeridade ao processo legal e a superação das barreiras que as vítimas enfrentam ao denunciar o crime e buscar justiça.
