Abstract

Background
. Oxidative stress may play an important role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) etiopathogenesis. The thiol group is a very strong antioxidant. In this study, we aimed to investigate the presence of oxidative stress in patients with RA by evaluating thiol/disulfide homeostasis.

Material and methods
. A total of 50 female RA patients and 50 healthy female controls were included in this study. Thiol and disulfide values were calculated utilizing novel methods.

Results
. Native thiol (p < 0.001) and total thiol (p < 0.001) levels of RA patients were significantly lower compared to values in the control group. However, the disulfide (p < 0.001) levels of RA patients were strongly higher than in healthy individuals. A negative correlation was found between thiol and disease activity score-28 among the patients, whereas a positive correlation was found between disulfide and disease activity score-28 among the patients.

Conclusion
. We found that the thiol–disulfide rate deteriorated in RA patients, with the proportion of disulfide increasing. There is a strong correlation between the decrease in thiol levels, increase in disulfide levels and the disease activity scores.
Oil Price Volatility and Business Cycles in Nigeria
Authors: Aigheyisi Oziengbe Scott 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The effect of oil price volatility on the business cycle (measured as fluctuations in real GDP) in Nigeria is investigated, while controlling for effects of other variables such as inflation, exchange rate, money supply, trade openness and foreign direct investment. Volatility in real GDP and oil price is generated through the EGARCH process. The ARDL approach to cointegration and error correction modeling is employed for analysis of data covering the period from 1970 to 2015. The study finds positive and significant short-run effect of oil price volatility on real GDP volatility, and no significant long-run effect. The short-run and long-run effects of other variables on business cycle (real GDP volatility) in Nigeria are not statistically significant. This suggests that short-run fluctuations in real GDP are engendered mainly by oil price volatility. This could be attributed to the precarious dependence of the country on oil export. The paper recommends channeling of efforts by the government towards diversifying the productive base and exports of the country as measure to reduce volatility in the real GDP.
The Impact of the Asian Crisis on Governance: Does OECD Membership or Income Levels Matter?
Authors: Kaya Halil Dincer 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
We examine the impact of the 1997 Asian Crisis on governance. We look into how the crisis affected High-Income OECD, High-Income Non-OECD, Upper-middle Income, Lower- Middle Income, and Low Income Countries. For measures of governance, we use the World Bank’s Governance Indicators dataset which includes six measures of governance. We find that pre- and post-crisis, the ranking of each income group has not changed except for year 2004 when the High-Income Non-OECD Countries surpassed the High-Income OECD Countries in “Political Stability and Absence of Violence” category. In other words, our results show that, other than that exception in 2004, both pre- and post-crisis, the High-Income OECD Countries had the best governance measures, the High-Income Non-OECD Countries had the second best measures, and so on, in the order shown above. One point to note here: The High-Income Non- OECD Countries performed much better than the other groups after year 1998. After 1998, this group improved in all six dimensions of governance. We conclude that although crises affect all income groups, because of certain characteristics of the High-Income Non-OECD group, they tend to better react to crises.
O PRINCÍPIO DA BOA-FÉ NA INTERPRETAÇÃO E INTEGRAÇÃO DOS CONTRATOS NO CÓDIGO CIVIL BRASILEIRO E NO DRAFT COMMON FRAME OF REFERENCE
Authors: De Araújo Alessandra Matos 
Published: September 2018

O princípio da boa-fé encontra-se presente no direito brasileiro e no direito europeu. A boa-fé pode ser subjetiva, servindo como critério para nortear a intenção das partes, atuando no plano da interpretação dos contratos, quando presentes ambiguidades ou incoerências. De igual forma, a boa-fé pode ser considerada sob o ponto de vista objetivo, quando é aplicada na prática negocial, facultando ao aplicador da lei, atribuir ao contrato efeitos que não foram previstos, mas que conforme a boa-fé e a natureza do contrato, dele deveriam derivar. O presente artigo objetiva demonstrar como o princípio da boa-fé é utilizado na interpretação e na integração dos contratos especialmente no código civil brasileiro de 2002 e no Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR)
TRATADO DE ESTABILIDADE FISCAL EUROPEU, SOBERANIA E O (RE) DESENHO CONSTITUCIONAL DO ORÇAMENTO
Authors: Monteiro de Souza Raphael Ramos 
Published: September 2018

Firmado no auge da crise financeira do início da década como uma das principais medidas jurídicas para atenuá-la, o tratado de estabilidade fiscal europeu, em vigor a partir de 2013, contém duas previsões de especial interesse teórico. A primeira, no sentido da incorporação de regras de equilíbrio orçamentário e endividamento público pelos Estados, preferencialmente em nível constitucional, nos limites parametrizados e supervisionados pela União Europeia. A segunda, sujeitando os membros a sanções por parte do Tribunal de Justiça Europeu, na hipótese de sua inobservância. O presente artigo objetiva examinar de que maneira a introdução de novos condicionantes no ciclo orçamentário – dotado de dimensões políticas, econômicas e regulatórias precípuas dos poderes nacionais – repercute na estrutura tradicional da soberania estatal, ante arranjos constitucionais já impactados pela integração supranacional. Adota-se como ponto de partida o fenômeno da soberania compartilhada ou pós-soberania, em Habermas e MacCormick, sob a perspectiva que supera o contorno clássico do conceito e gera novas leituras naquele continente, de viés temperado, limitado ou multinível. Após abordar os antecedentes e consequentes normativos do tratado, o estudo enfrenta o debate face ao papel de atores externos na fixação dos percentuais de déficit e de dívida pública, instrumentos de planejamento estatal. Investigam-se recentes julgados de Cortes Constitucionais sobre a questão. Conclui-se que, à luz da dinâmica de interdependência do bloco, acentuada pela moeda única, a lógica supranacional é agora transplantada para a realidade orçamentária, esvaziando-se parte das prerrogativas nacionais em prol da preservação dos objetivos de unidade, cooperação solidária e desenvolvimento comum.

Para tanto faz-se necessário analisar qual a dimensão do interesse público tutelável pelo Estado, e até que ponto não se confunde interesse do aparato estatal com o verdadeiro interesse público.
LEGISLAÇÃO AMBIENTAL BRASILEIRA LICENCIAMENTO AMBIENTAL
Authors: Sombrio Neide Aparecida de Souza 
Published: September 2018

O presente trabalho propõe-se a estudar o Instituto do licenciamento ambiental no contexto do Direito Ambiental Brasileiro, trazendo noções gerais quanto ao conceito de licenciamento, entendimentos doutrinários quanto sua natureza jurídica, bem como procedimentos para concessão, suspensão, cancelamento, utilizando-se do método indutivo. O licenciamento, como forma preventiva e de aplicação do princípio da precaução é um instrumento de extrema importância para que danos ambientais possam ser evitados, ou ainda, possam ser fiscalizados e acompanhados pelos entes da federação envolvidos no processo, acarretando um avanço na prevenção aos danos ambientais. Também é fundamental a mudança de comportamento da população em compreender que a atuação ativa da comunidade impulsiona o ente público responsável a criar mecanismos de proteção ambiental cada vez mais eficientes. O licenciamento ambiental está atrelado a procedimentos que não podem ser suprimidos, o poder de polícia dos entes públicos, envolvidos nesse processo, deve ser rigorosamente observado. O dano ambiental ocorre, muitas vezes, quando os mecanismos criados para sua proteção são negligenciados. A responsabilidade por um meio ambiental saudável, direito constitucionalmente protegido, é obrigação de todos.

QUESTÕES CONTROVERTIDAS ENVOLVENDO A LEI 8.742/93
Authors: Pierotti Wagner Oliveira 
Published: September 2018

O § 3º, do artigo 20, da Lei 8.742/93, conhecida como a Lei Orgânica da Assistência Social, malgrado já ter sido objeto de Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade, julgada improcedente pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, declarando constitucional o dispositivo sob análise, ainda hoje desperta novas interpretações e teses no sentido de estender o benefício assistencial a famílias cuja renda per capita seja superior a ¼ do salário mínimo, isto em face da Lei 10.689/03, que dispôs acerca do Programa Nacional de Alimentação, que aduz que para ser beneficiário das ações dirigidas ao combate à fome e à promoção da segurança alimentar e nutricional, a família há de comprovar que a sua renda per capita seja de até ½ salário mínimo. Por seu turno, o Estatuto do Idoso – Lei 10.741/03, em seu artigo 34, estabelece que o benefício de Prestação Continuada concedido a qualquer membro da família idoso, não será computado para os fins do calculo da renda familiar per capita. Em função deste abrandamento, indaga-se se a renda de algum benefício previdenciário do idoso membro da família, que seja de mesmo valor do benefício assistencial (ou até mesmo inferior) será ou não levado ao cálculo da renda per capita? Ou se o benefício de prestação continuada, acaso percebido por um deficiente, pertencente à família do(s) idoso(s), será levado ou não em conta no cálculo da renda per capita. Estas são questões intrigantes que serão analisadas em pormenores no decorrer deste artigo.
Commercial Security’s’ Effect on Security of Kenyans in Private Venues
Authors: Mutonyi Gerald Peter , Sirera Ann 
Published: September 2018

The strategic interplay between the Commercial security industry and security is complex. The realists view the provision of security as a fundamental obligation of the state. But to the liberalists, the pursuance of security can be achieved with the involvement of other actors offering the same. The question of whether the growing recognition of commercial security industry has marked an important shift in the norm of the state monopoly on violence in Africa needs answers. Despite this development, few studies have evaluated the effect of commercial security on security in Private Venues. Using Situational crime prevention theory, this study sort to demonstrate the effect of commercial security on security of Kenyans in Private Venues. The study adopted a cross sectional survey design, and was carried out in Nairobi with the target population of the adult residents in Nairobi. Customers and management of the commercial security industry were purposively sampled, whereas the general public and the security guards were systematically sampled. Questionnaire, interviews and structured observation were used to collect data. Qualitative data was analysed thematically. While quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics like percentages, average and mean, and pie charts. There is an accepted positive effect on security of Kenyans in private functions and venues where commercial security present. But efficiency would be achieved if, the commercial security personnel provide indiscriminate security responses where there is a breach. Grey area needing legal backing were identified as: arming of the commercial security personnel, proper uniforms and kitting, and training and skills. It is expected that the findings of this study will be of great significance to the commercial security industry stakeholders in their quest to provide security to their customers. The findings will also be used to inform policy and practice that can beneficial to national security in Kenya. It is also hoped to stimulate the academic community and the government of Kenya towards more research in the field, and for the formulation of policies that will improve the general security of the citizens.

PLANOWANIE W ZARZĄDZANIU GMINNYMI ZASOBAMI MIESZKANIOWYMI
Authors: Muczyński Andrzej 
Published: September 2018

Przedstawiono ogólne zasady i metody tworzenia wieloletnich programów gospodarowania zasobami mieszkaniowymi gmin. Celem badań własnych była ocena stopnia realizacji wieloletniego programu gospodarowania zasobem mieszkaniowym miasta Olsztyna w latach 2012–2015. Zakresem badań objęto takie składniki programu, jak: wielkość zasobu mieszkaniowego, nakłady remontowe, rozmiary sprzedaży mieszkań komunalnych oraz uzyskane dochody z tego tytułu, a także koszty bieżącego utrzymania nieruchomości gminnych i wspólnych. Badania wykonano metodą analizy dokumentacji źródłowej i wywiadu bezpośredniego. Oceniono wykonanie wytypowanych planów szczegółowych w ujęciu względnym przez porównanie wielkości rzeczywistych z odpowiadającymi im wielkościami planowanymi. Wykazano w badaniach znacznie szybsze tempo – w relacji do planu – zmniejszania się wielkości analizowanego zasobu wskutek szerokiej prywatyzacji mieszkań i braku inwestycji gminnych, pomimo niedoboru lokali komunalnych i socjalnych. Stwierdzono też, że realizacja planów remontowych nie zatrzymała dekapitalizacji zasobu, gdyż stanowiły one niewielką część potrzeb remontowych obiektów gminnych. Sprzedaż lokali komunalnych nie poprawiła również gospodarki zasobem, gdyż uzyskane z niej dochody wyprowadzono ze sfery mieszkaniowej gminy.
Na bazie wyników badań i wniosków przeprowadzono krytyczną ocenę wieloletniego programu gospodarowania mieszkaniowym zasobem miasta Olsztyna.
AKTYWNOŚĆ SPOŁECZNA MIESZKAŃCÓW GMIN WOJEWÓDZTWA LUBELSKIEGO, W KTÓRYCH REALIZOWANO PRACE SCALENIOWE GRUNTÓW ROLNYCH – STUDIUM PRZYPADKU

Published: September 2018

Scalanie gruntów rolnych wpływa na rozwój obszarów wiejskich. Według FAO [2008] wpływ scaleń gruntów rolnych ma miejsce na trzech poziomach. Pierwszym – mikro, w ramach którego scalenia gruntów skupiają się na zmianie struktury gospodarstw rolnych i ich bezpośrednim otoczeniu. Drugim – na poziomie mezo, w którym scalenia gruntów mają szersze cele dotyczące m. in. zmian sięgających wiejskiej społeczności. Na poziomie trzecim – makro, w którym proces koncentruje się na zmianach mogących pozytywnie wpłynąć na zjawiska na terenie całego kraju, poprzez m.in. zmniejszanie dysproporcji między obszarami miejskimi i wiejskimi. Dacko [2006] pisała, że „cel powinien koncentrować się na poprawie życia na wsi, a nie tylko podniesieniu wydajności produkcji rolniczej, końcowym rezultatem powinno być odnowienie wsi poprzez trwały ekonomiczny i polityczny rozwój całej społeczności.”
Upływ czasu przyniósł zmiany w szerszym postrzeganiu prac scaleniowych, nie tylko w aspekcie ściśle technicznym, ekonomicznym, ale również społecznym i przyrodniczym. Jedną z korzyści społecznych wynikających z realizacji scaleń jest aktywne włączanie społeczności lokalnej w zagadnienia kształtowania warunków przestrzennych i zwiększenie aktywności społecznej mieszkańców. Te przesłanki powodują, iż celem artykułu jest badanie poziomu aktywności społecznej mieszkańców w gminach, w których zrealizowano scalenia gruntów rolnych i porównanie do poziomu aktywności w gminach wiejskich województwa lubelskiego. Przeprowadzono analizę i syntezę literatury oraz badania z grupy podejść przestrzennostatystycznych. Obszar badań obejmował gminy wiejskie województwa lubelskiego.

Published: September 2018

Many organizations use design applications to draw the products they create. The drawings are digital files that have various formats of type and size. The images sometimes have to be protected because they are secret designs, such as the design of military vehicles, weapons and other designs. In order to secure digital data, cryptography is one of the solution, including if the data to be secured in the form of digital images. Algorithms that can be used to perform cryptography in digital image one of them is chaos map using Arnold cat map, logistics map and application of selective technique. Chaos was chosen for three reasons: sensitivity to initial conditions, random behavior, and no repetitive periods. While the application of selective technique means only encrypt some elements in the image but the effect of the whole image is encrypted. Cryptography in the image is also implemented because the organization using an intranet network to deliver its design drawings from one division to another. This allows for data tapping or exploitation of digital images while inside the intranet network. So it is necessary to develop a cryptographic system on the intranet network that has the ability to secure digital images that are in the network. The results obtained from black box testing, white box and network security testing show that the built system has been able to secure digital images when sent over the organization's intranet network.
