Published: September 2021

Resumo A dação em pagamento constitui uma das modalidades de exclusão do crédito tributário. Contudo, levando em consideração as várias formas de dar fim ao crédito tributário, dedicar-se a compreender melhor uma delas possibilita aos demais operadores do Direito maior domínio sobre as questões que envolvem a temática. Portanto, o objetivo do presente artigo é responder indagações como: existem limites para o poder de tributar? Qual o papel do Estado na regulamentação das ações de cunho tributário? Questionamentos dessa natureza, bem como outros que possam surgir, serão respondidos ao longo do trabalho, sem, contudo, findar as discussões envolvendo o assunto.
Palavras-chave: Tributo. Exclusão. Propriedade.
Abstract The donation in payment is one of the many ways to exclusion from the tax credit. However, considering that there are other possibilities to end the tax credit it is so important dedicating ourselves to better understand one of them. This article may allows other Law defenders truly get the meaning of the issues surrounding the theme. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to answer questions such as: are there limits to the power to tax? What is the role of the State in the regulation of tax actions? Questions of this nature, as well as others that may arise, will be answered throughout the development, without, however, ending the discussions involving the subject.

Delação Premiada e uma Sentença Anunciada
Authors: Almeida Jhonatan Costa 
Published: September 2021

ResumoO estudo tratará de analisar as imperfeições e fragilidades da técnica jurídica entre delação premiada e a sentença, considerando as formas e limitações que o processo requer. Tendo como objeto de estudo as significações, muito além da semântica, das delações premiadas e o que estes institutos contribuíram para que fosse possível prolatar uma sentença que expõe de forma clara a opção do julgador pela radicalização e uso do direito para fins políticos. Consoante, o problema central deste estudo pode ser expresso na seguinte pergunta: O punitivíssimo promovido, com base nas delações premiadas, pelos protagonistas do sistema judiciário, de forma livre, sem a devida correição e sem leitura consequencial de suas ações, implicaria em uma fragilidade da técnica jurídica? Ademais, este trabalho, também, mostrará a forma de como são, sem generalizar, utilizados os conceitos e noções que seguem uma trilha condenatória, reverberando convicções particulares e presunções formuladas em matéria penal em desconformidade com a análise de fatos em provas, com desorientação, sem guia e sem princípios estáveis, preocupados exclusivamente em escapar dos monstros, ou do monstro, que o ameaçavam, fazendo com que alguns casos vaguem ao acaso no vasto mar da incerteza.
Palavra-chave: Colaboração. Organização. Pronuncia. Condenação. Fragilidade Jurídica.
AbstractThe study will try to analyze the imperfections and weaknesses of the legal technique between the award and the sentence, considering the forms and limitations that the process requires. Having as object of study the meanings, far beyond the semantics, of the awarded statements and what these institutes contributed to make it possible to extend a sentence that clearly exposes the judge's option for radicalization and use of the law for political purposes. Accordingly, the central problem of this study can be expressed in the following question: The punitivism promoted, based on the prizes awarded, by the protagonists of the judicial system, freely, without due correction and without consequential reading of their actions, would imply a fragility of legal technique?In addition, this work will also show how the concepts and notions that follow a condemnatory trail are used, generalizing particular convictions and presumptions formulated in criminal matters in disagreement with the analysis of facts in evidence, with disorientation, without a guide and without stable principles, concerned exclusively with escaping the monsters, or the monster, that threatened him, causing some cases to wander at random in the vast sea of uncertainty.

Published: September 2021

Resumo O presente estudo tem como foco o debate sobre a Castração Química, a qual, diga-se, vem sendo aplicada como pena para aqueles julgados culpados de crimes sexuais envolvendo pedofilia em vários países, como Inglaterra, País de Gales e Estados Unidos. Uma reflexão ética e moral a respeito do referido tema se faz eminente e necessária, até para que se possa haver um posicionamento crítico distante de falsos preconceitos e de verdades apriorísticas. No formato de um ensaio de discussão teórica, tem-se aqui o intuito de apresentar a castração química como alternativa de sanção para criminosos pedófilos já condenados. Como questão norteadora tem-se: Existe a possibilidade de diminuição dos casos de crime de Pedofilia, adotando no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro a Castração Química voluntária como forma de tratamento para criminosos pedófilos?
Palavras-chave: Pedofilia. Violência Sexual. Castração Química.
AbstractThe present study focuses on the debate on Chemical Castration, which, it should be said, has been applied as a penalty for those found guilty of sexual crimes involving pedophilia in several countries, such as England, Wales and the United States. An ethical and moral reflection on the referred subject is eminent and necessary, even so that there can be a critical positioning distant from false prejudices and a priori truths. In the form of a theoretical discussion essay, the intention here is to present chemical castration as an alternative sanction for already convicted pedophile criminals. The guiding question is: Is there a possibility of reducing the cases of crime of pedophilia, adopting voluntary chemical castration in the Brazilian legal system as a form of treatment for pedophile criminals.

Published: September 2021

Background: Parkinson disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after dementia Alzheimer. In neurodegenerative disease such as PD, there is a disturbance of cholesterol metabolism in the brain that could affect plasma cholesterol level. Laboratory test of cholesterol level could be used as an alternative parameter in assessing the severity degree of PD. Our objectives in this study are to analyze the correlation between cholesterol level and the severity of PD. Methods: This study is a cross sectional study. The sample is collected from patients with PD that came too neurology clinic in Prof Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado Hospital. Patients will then be assessed whether they meet the inclusion criteria which is examined using unified Parkinson disease rating scale (UPDRS) questionnaire and Hoehn and Yahr (H and Y). If the inclusion criteria are met, subject will be tested for total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), and low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels in plasma.Results: There are 60 subjects of PD patients with mean age 64.37±8.26 years old. Male subjects were more dominant (53.3%) than female. Total cholesterol level and LDL have moderate negative correlation with UPDRS I, UPDRS II, UPDRS III, and UPDRS total score. Total cholesterol and LDL level also has moderate negative correlation with H and Y severity.Conclusions: There is a moderate negative correlation between total cholesterol level and LDL with PD severity degree based on H&Y degree and UPDRS I, II, III, and UPDRS total score.

Authors: Saproo Nipun , Singh Roma 
Published: September 2021

Background: Peripheral neuropathies are a heterogeneous group of disorders, but common among patients attending neurology clinics. A systematic approach, like sural nerve biopsy, is the need of the hour, for a cost effective diagnosis. Studies have shown that nerve biopsy improves treatment in up-to 60% patients. Present study was conducted to evaluate the clinical profile and usefulness of sural nerve biopsy in peripheral neuropathy.Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the Department of Neurology in collaboration with Department of Pathology, Medanta: The Medicity, Gurugram, for a period of six months from January 2019- June 2019. Out of total 82 randomly selected patients, 43 patients were selected for nerve biopsy.Results: Mean age in the biopsy group was 45.61±19.24 years. Duration of illness was less than 1 year in 60.5% patients. In 39.5% of cases, nerve biopsies established the diagnosis and in total 77% of cases it was worthwhile. Hansen’s disease was diagnosed in 44%, CIDP in 12%, Vasculitis in 14%, and diabetes in 7% patients. Biopsy proved more diagnostic when tingling and numbness was there. Diminished DTRs was also statistically significant symptom in biopsy favoring group. Nerve biopsy in multiple mononeuropathy (65.1%) proved more beneficial than in polyneuropathy (32.6%). Similarly, motor-sensory was a predominant presentation in 28 (65.1%) patients with nerve biopsy being more valuable.Conclusions: Nerve biopsy, having a good diagnostic yield, can be a useful aid in cases with multiple mono-neuropathy. It can be the key to prevent long term neurological complications in patients.

Authors: Sowjanya D.S , Ravindranath M 
Published: September 2021

Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder wherein there are recurrent episodes of sleep disordered breathing resulting in disrupted sleep and other sequelae. The symptoms of hypothyroidism are very similar to OSA, a number of studies have been performed to analyze their association with conflicting results. A questionnaire based on the Wisconsin Sleep Apnea questionnaire for quality of sleep, sleep pattern, symptoms during sleep, snoring were asked to 118 patients included in the study. The day time sleep patterns were assessed by the Epworth Sleepiness scale. Polysomnography testing, Saturated oxygen levels, sleep efficiency and arousal index were also done for all the patients. Blood was collected for the detection of thyroid hormones. There were 82 (69.5%) males and 36 (30.5%) females on the present study out of 118 patients. The mean age of the patients under study was 53.91 ± 4.69 years, the weight was 89.48 ± 12.83 kgs and the BMI was 34.86 ± 6.11. Amongst the patients with OSA and hypothyroid, the apnea hypoapnea index was 66.22 ± 18.31 episodes per hour, and Epworth sleepiness scale was 15.18 ± 5.26 while in patients with OSA and without hypothyroid, it was 24.17 ± 6.29 and 8.25 ± 5.82 respectively. Our study shows a significant association between OSA and hypothyroidism among patients, thus having a considerable implications in managing the thyroid condition of the patients.
Intolerancia en las sociedades contemporáneas: una mirada al problema religioso desde una postura feuerbachiana
Authors: Valero Sánchez Gerardo José 
Published: September 2021

El siguiente texto se circunscribe en el ámbito de la filosofía de la religión; tiene como objeto central analizar la alienación del hombre dentro del fenómeno religioso (particularmente en las religiones monoteístas) y cómo esta origina intolerancia social en las sociedad contemporáneas entre hombres que no comparten las mismas creencias; esta postura ha causado momentos de violencia extrema a lo largo de la historia humana y otra tanta en la actualidad como el conflicto en el Medio Oriente – Judíos y Musulmanes. Para tal empresa tomaremos como referencia la crítica a la religión expuesta por el pensador alemán del siglo XIX Ludwig Feuerbach en su obra principal: La esencia del cristianismo (Das Wesen des Christentums), complementándolo con otros críticos religiosos (Voltaire, Kirsch, Freud, etc.). Por último, expondremos el ateísmo humanista de Feuerbach como alternativa para la superación de la intolerancia social.
Rayleigh-Bénard convection in air: out-of-plane vorticity from stereoscopic PIV measurements
Authors: Valentina Valori , Thieme Alexander , Cierpka Christian , Schumacher Joerg 
Published: September 2021

We present results from stereoscopic PIV measurements in a Rayleigh-Benard convection (RBC) cell filled with (compressed) air at Rayleigh numbers: Ra = 1.5×104, 2×104, 1×105, 2×105, 5×105, and Prandtl number Pr ' 0.7. The three largest Rayleigh numbers are obtained pressurising the whole set-up including cameras and objective lenses, up to 4.5 bars. The main goal of this study is to reproduce DNS data that are acquired at the same Rayleigh numbers to study far-tail events of the out-of-plane vorticity component (ωz). The measurements are performed in a RBC cell with aspect ratio Γ = W/H = 10, where W is the width and H = 3 cm is the height of the domain. The cell is equipped with a transparent bottom plate heated by a thin oxide layer (for details see Kastner et al. (2018)), which allows us to measure 3C2D velocity fields on ¨a horizontal plane at mid height of the cell. The RBC cell set-up is inserted in the SCALEX facility of TU Ilmenau, a pressure vessel with several optical accesses that can be pressurised up to 10 bars
The experiments aim firstly at improving the quality of previous measurements performed in the sameset-up [Kastner et al. (2018), Cierpka et al. (2019)], regarding the accuracy of the out-of-plane velocity ¨component. This has been realised by positioning the cameras at a larger stereo angle (about 25◦), which is possible by placing them inside the pressure vessel. Major challenges of the current measurements are caused by optical distortions due to the temperature gradients that are typical for thermal convection (see Valori (2018), Valori et al. (2019)).
Probability Density Functions (PDFs) of ωz from stereo PIV experiments and from DNS data are shown respectively in figure 1(a) and 1(b) for all Rayleigh numbers studied. We can observe that for both kind of data the tails of the PDF becomes wider while increasing the Rayleigh number, which may be connected to intermittency. This crossover from Gaussian to intermittent statistic was recently studied in Valori and Schumacher (2021) from DNS. Figure2(a) shows the temporal evolution of ωz at the position of its largest (extreme) value at Ra = 2.5 × 105, while figure2(b) shows the spatial distribution of ωz at the time of its extreme event in the experiments.
The experimental results are able to reproduce well the statistics of DNS data of the same flow, and allow the study of extreme events of ωz.

Aim: Sensorineural hearing losses in adults may prevent communication with the environment, leading to social isolation, mental problems, loss of business and a reduced quality of life. Cochlear implantation is an important treatment method enabling restoration of hearing in selected patients who have postlingual severe hearing loss and fail to benefit from hearing aids. In this study, we aimed to research the effect of cochlear implant on the quality of life of geriatric patients aged 60 and over with post lingual hearing loss, who underwent unilateral cochlear implantation due to severe and profound sensorineural hearing loss.
Materials and Method: 17 geriatric post lingual patients aged 60 and older who underwent unilateral cochlear implantation due to severe and profound sensorineural hearing loss between 2008 and 2015 were included in this study. A Turkish language version of the Short-Form 36 survey was used to evaluate the patient's quality of life.
Results: The patients were aged between 61 and 84 years, and the mean age of the patients was 69,5±7 years. The etiology of hearing loss included sudden hearing loss 6 patients, progressive hearing loss in 10 patients, and a sequel of meningitis in 1 patient. According to the result of the Short-Form 36 survey, physical condition, general condition, and psychological condition results were found to be positive at the rates of 76,4%, 88,2%, and 94,1% respectively.
Conclusion: In selected patients of advanced age, cochlear implantation is a treatment method that improves, aside from hearing rehabilitation, the patients' relationship with the environment, eliminating the need for additional care and support, contributing to increased self-confidence and emotional happiness, and consequently, positively affecting the quality of life.
Türkiye’de kamu hastanelerinde laboratuvar testlerinin kullanımı ve gider analizi
Authors: KÜÇÜK Aziz 
Published: September 2021

Amaç: Türkiye’de kamu hastanelerinde laboratuvar testlerinin kullanım durumunu çeşitli göstergelerle analiz etmek ve hastane maliyetleri üzerindeki etkisine dikkat çekmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kamu hastanelerinde 2015-2019 yıllarına ait laboratuvar testlerinin kullanımı, test istem oranları, laboratuvar giderleri ve tıbbi hizmet verileri Sağlık Bakanlığı’ndan temin edilmiştir. Sağlık Bakanlığı’nın çeşitli veri tabanlarından elde edilen veriler, sentezlenerek analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: 2019 yılında 2,7 milyar liraya yükselen laboratuvar giderlerinin, kamu hastanelerinin toplam gideri içindeki oranı %5,67 düzeyindedir. Volüm ve gelir olarak ilk 25 teste bakıldığında; testlerin genellikle benzer olduğu, farklılıkların ise geri ödeme fiyatlarının yüksekliğinden kaynaklandığı görülmektedir. Dal eğitim ve araştırma hastanelerinde test istem oranı ile test başı giderin fazla olduğu bulunmuştur. Yaşlı nüfusun ve ortanca yaşın yüksek olduğu illerde aynı zamanda test istem oranının da fazla olması, kronik hastalık takibinin test istemini artıran bir etken olduğu kanıtı niteliğindedir. Gereksiz test istemleri (D vitamini gibi), hastane giderleri üzerinde önemli bir mali yük oluşturmaktadır.
Sonuç: Türkiye’de laboratuvar giderlerinin sürekli artış göstermesinin nedenlerinden biri olan fazla veya gereksiz test isteminin önüne geçilebilmesi için, akılcı laboratuvar kullanımı projeleri etkin bir şekilde yürütülmelidir. Laboratuvar testlerinin uygunluğunu geliştirmek, sadece maliyet etkinliği sağlamakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda daha fazla klinik fayda ve hasta güvenliğine katkı sağlar.

Authors: BAHÇECİ İlkay , YILDIZ İlknur Esen 
Published: September 2021

Amaç: Helicobacter pylori’ (H.pylori) ye bağlı gelişen gastrit dünyada birçok ülkede yaygın olup insanda en sık görülen kronik enfeksiyonların başında gelmektedir. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından H. pylori’nin, mide karsinogenezisinin etyolojisinde temel rol aldığının bildirilmesiyle birlikte tüm dikkatler üzerine çevrilmiştir. Çalışmada ilimizdeki H.pylori pozitifliği sıklığı ve yıllar içindeki dağılımının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: 01.01.2013 ile 31.12.2019 tarihleri arasında Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Üniversitesi (RTEÜ) Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi mikrobiyoloji laboratuvarına rutinde gelen gaita örneklerin kayıtlarının retrospektif olarak taranması şeklinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tüm klinik birimlerden gelen gaita örnekleri kabul edilmiş olup gelen numuneler kromatografik immünoassay bir test olan Rapid Cassette Test (Feces) (Acro, Biotech, Germany) kitleri ile hızlı antijen testleri üretici firmanın önerileri doğrultusunda çalışılmıştır.
Bulgular: Toplam 8551 hastaya ait örnek çalışıldı. 806 tanesinin sonucu pozitif olarak sonuçlandı. Çalışılan örneklerin 5270’i (%61,6) kadın hastalara aitti. Bireylerin yaş ortalaması erkeklerde ±33.4 kadınlarda ±66.6 olup yaş ortalaması ±47.2 idi. Yıllar içindeki H. pylori pozitiflik sıklığı yaklaşık %1,2 -%21,2 arasında olup ortalaması %8,9 olarak bulundu.
Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda ilimizdeki H.pylori sıklığının ülke ortalamasının altında olduğunun görülmesine karşın yıllar içindeki sıklık artışı dikkat çekiciydi. Tanıda kullanılan hızlı antijen testi hızlı, güvenilir, basit olmasına karşın yanlış negatifliklere neden olabileceği de göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
