Authors: Cabral Flávio Garcia 
Published: February 2016

Trata-se de artigo que possui como objetivo precípuo a abordagem acerca de tema da mais alta relevância: a prestação de contas estatal. Procurar-se-á, inicialmente, compreender sua significação, extraindo seus principais elementos, e verificando-se que, em uma acepção ampla, pode ser considerado termo que possui a mesma carga axiológica do vocábulo anglo-saxão accountability. Após esse primeiro momento, observar-se-á quais os regimes e fenômenos políticos que justificam essencialmente a prestação de contas. Nesse aspecto, será analisado, primeiramente, o complexo fenômeno da representação política, seguindo-se, adiante, da verificação da forma de governo que é capaz de sustentar a accountability, distinguindo-se, assim, se a justificativa repousa exclusivamente nos regimes democráticos ou nos republicanos. The political foundations of accountability This is an article that has as it main objective deal with a theme that has higher relevance: accountability. At first, we will try to understand its significance, drawing its main elements, and verifying that, in a broad sense, it can be considered as a term that has the same axiological load as the Anglo-Saxon word accountability. After this first step, we will observe which regims and political phenomena justify essentially the accountability. In this aspect, it will be analyzed first, the complex phenomenon of political representation, followed, later, by checking the form of government that is able to support accountability, distinguishing, thus, if the justification rests exclusively in democratic or Republican regims.
A proibição do non liquet e o princípio da inafastabilidade do controle jurisdicional
Authors: Koatz Rafael Lorenzo-Fernandez 
Published: February 2016

Sustenta-se, com fundamento no art. 5º, XXXV, da Constituição (inafastabilidade do controle jurisdicional), que o juiz não pode deixar de julgar uma causa que lhe foi submetida (proibição de juízos de non liquet). O propósito deste artigo é discutir essa proposição a partir da teoria dos direitos fundamentais. Pretende-se demonstrar: (i) que a inafastabilidade do controle jurisdicional tem característica de princípio, o que impõe sua aplicação de acordo com as possibilidades fáticas e jurídicas subjacentes; (ii) que a Constituição não veda de forma absoluta o non liquet e que ele pode ser válido, em circunstâncias excepcionais, para ampliar o diálogo institucional; e (iii) que o enquadramento do art. 5º, XXXV, como princípio traz importantes consequências práticas. The non liquet prohibition and the non-obviation of judiciary jurisdiction principle Based on the provisions of Article 5, XXXV, of Brazilian Constitution (non-obviation of judiciary jurisdiction), some believe a judge cannot refrain from judging a claim presented to judiciary (prohibition of non liquet). The purpose of this article is to discuss such proposition, based on the Theory of Fundamental Rights. Its purpose is to demonstrate (i) that such constitutional provision contain characteristic of principles, imposing that such provisions be applied in accordance with the legal and factual possibilities; (ii) that the Constitution does not entirely forbid judges to declare non liquet, accepted in exceptional circumstances to enhance the institutional dialogue and (iii) such understanding of Article 5, XXXV as a principle has several important consequences.

Fire Sales and House Prices: Evidence from Estate Sales Due to Sudden Death
Authors: Andersen Steffen , Nielsen Kasper Meisner 
Published: February 2016

This study investigates when forced sales of real estate turn into fire sales by using a natural experiment that allows us to separate supply and demand effects: Forced sales result from sudden death of house owners and are thus unrelated to current market conditions. We find that forced sales result in fire sale discounts. Discounts increase when the sale is urgent, market conditions are poor, and the seller is financially constrained. Overall, our study identifies when forced sales lead to fire sale discounts, and highlights that fire sales occur even in the absence of temporary demand shocks.

Sulistyo A, Sumartini. 2016. Evaluation of soybean genotypes for resistance to rust diseaseÂ (Phakopsora pachyrhizi).Â Biodiversitas 17: 124-128. Pest and disease are one of limiting factor in soybean cultivation in Indonesia. One of the diseases that canreduce soybean production is rust diseases caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi. The use of resistant varieties can reduce yield losses dueto this disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance of soybean genotypes to rust disease and to study the interactionbetween agronomic traits with rust disease on soybean genotypes. This study was conducted at a screen house of the IndonesianLegumes and Tuber Crops Research Institute (ILETRI)Â
in Malang, Indonesia from April to July 2015. A total of 10 soybean genotypesconsist of eight lines and two varieties (Argomulyo and Grobogan).Â
The experiment was arranged as randomized completely block design with four replications. Eachgenotype planted in five plastic pots for each replicate. Three weeks after planting, all plants were inoculated with rust disease.Inoculation was done by spraying a suspension of spores (spore density of 10Â 4Â spore mL-1)Â
to the surface of leaves. Observations werecarried out on rust disease severity based on the method of International Working Group on Soybean Rust rating system, days toflowering, plant height, number of branches, number of fertile nodes, number of pods, and seed weight per plant. The results showedthat all genotypes classified as moderately resistant to rust disease. In this study, days to flowering and plant height influence thedevelopment of rust disease severity. There are three lines that have seed weight per plant significantly heavier than Argomulyo (4.97 g) and Grobogan (4.30 g), namely K/I100//B63///G-7 (6.55 g),Â K/I100//B63///G-8 (6.15 g), andÂ I100/B54//A-5 (5.85 g). The high value ofÂ the scales of seed weight per plant for the three lines is supported by high-performance plants with a lot of number of fertile nodes and pods. These three soybean genotypes potentially serve as genetic material to develop high yielding soybean varieties and resistant to rust disease.

Abstract
Using wooden waste as insulation material benefits society by using waste products, reducing building thermal load, and sequestering carbon dioxide. In this study on heat insulating materials, a novel low-density wooden mat was fabricated from wood shavings and kenaf fibers. This research addressed the influences of fabrication conditions on the thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat of the materials used. The raw materials (wood shavings and kenaf fibers) were mixed with a binder component, and the mixture was thermoformed. The thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat of the mats were measured, and the influence of mixing ratio, density, and heat flux was evaluated. The results demonstrated that thermal conductivity was largely affected by the mat density and mixing ratio but was largely unaffected by changes in the heat flux. The volumetric specific heat of the mats was largely unaffected by the raw material mixing ratio but was greatly affected by the mat density. The tendency of the thermal conductivity decrease was changed according to the combination ratio of the wood shavings and the kenaf. The wood shavings are flake shaped and curled, and the kenaf is fibrous. It was thought that the internal void was made smaller effectively by mixing two different shaped fibers and the thermal conductivity was minimized. As a result, the thermal performance of the subject mats, as compared with glass wool, exhibited a slightly lower thermal insulation level and higher heat capacity. The results are important in improving efficiency and the commercial design of insulation materials.

Published: February 2016

Introduction Elastofibromas are rare, pseudo-tumours arising at the inferior pole of the scapula that have a characteristic presentation. Due to their tissue of origin and size, they may often be mistaken for soft tissue sarcomas. We present the management of patients diagnosed with elastofibroma at a single institution. Methods Patients diagnosed with elastofibroma between January 1995 and January 2015 were identified from a prospectively maintained histopathology database. Electronic patient records, imaging and pathology reports were retrieved and reviewed. Results Thirty seven patients were identified, with a median age of 66 years and a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.6. All tumours occurred in the characteristic subscapular location. The median maximum tumour diameter was 8.2cm. A synchronous contralateral lesion (15.8%) was found in six patients. Cross-sectional imaging was performed in 29 patients, with magnetic resonance imaging the most common modality (59.5%). Diagnosis was confirmed with percutaneous biopsy in all but one patient, who proceeded directly to surgery. Eighteen patients were managed non-operatively; 19 opted for surgical excision due to significant symptoms. Excision was performed in a marginal fashion and, at a median follow-up of 5 months, no functional impairment or local recurrences were observed. Conclusions Soft tissue masses greater than 5cm in diameter should prompt the clinician to exclude soft tissue sarcoma. The diagnosis of elastofibroma may be alluded to by its typical presentation and can be confirmed by percutaneous biopsy. After excluding malignancy, these lesions can be safely managed non-operatively, with surgery reserved for symptomatic patients.
Cost implications and oncological outcomes for laparoscopic versus open surgery for right hemicolectomy

Published: February 2016

Introduction Recent studies have suggested that laparoscopic surgery for colorectal resection confers a cost benefit compared with open surgery. These studies have considered a wide range of colorectal operations together rather than focusing on a single procedure. Our study compared direct clinical costs for laparoscopic versus open right hemicolectomy. Methods Clinicopathological data and cost of treatment for all patients who underwent a right hemicolectomy between 2012 and 2013 were collected. The primary outcome was total cost of treatment. Secondary outcomes were length of stay, operative time and morbidity. The minimum follow-up duration was 12 months. Costs for laparoscopic and open surgery for elective resection alone were compared. Further analyses were performed comparing emergency cases with elective cases and cancer with non-cancer cases. Results There were 83 patients who underwent a right hemicolectomy during the study period and of these, 65 had an elective procedure. The total cost of a laparoscopic procedure was £3,998.12 compared with £3,427.50 for open surgery (p=0.039). The length of stay was shorter for laparoscopic surgery while the cost of an emergency right hemicolectomy was significantly greater than for elective surgery. Conclusions Although the length of stay for laparoscopic surgery was shorter, this did not translate to a reduction in cost. The cost benefit from a shorter length of stay was offset by a greater cost of consumables. Cost effectiveness analyses should be designed carefully, and they should consider individual operations separately when making healthcare management and funding decisions.

Published: February 2016

Abstract
The assessment of changes in the population spread of individual ichthyofauna species (lampreys and fishes) as well as the identification of unfavourable impacts is the necessary prerequisite for the correct selection of corrective measures. The river network in the Czech Republic belongs to the three sea-drainage areas (North Sea, Baltic Sea, and Black Sea). The species composition of the original ichthyofauna and the extent of the threat to some species differs in the individual sea-drainage areas. The original ichthyofauna in the Czech Republic consists of 4 lamprey species and 55 fish species. Out of this, only one lamprey species and 31 fish species originate in all three sea-drainage areas. There are 37 fish species considered as the original ones in the North Sea drainage area, there of 4 species are EX, 1 species EW, and 11 species (29.7%) are threatened. In the Baltic Sea drainage area, there are 4 species EX, 1 species EW, and 8 species (22.8%) threatened out of the total 35 assessed species. Out of 49 species in the Black Sea drainage area, there are 4 species EX and 23 species (46.9 %) threatened.
The most important reasons considered as the causes of the disappearance or reduction in the presence of some fishes are the water pollution, adjustments to water flow beds, the limitation of floods in alluvial areas, the permanent river basin fragmentation, and the spread of invasive species. Out of these factors, the only positive change has been noticed in the pronounced decrease in water flow pollution after 1990. Angling is also considered as the set of targeted bio manipulation which purposefully and often one-sidedly influences fish populations for the benefit of species being interesting for the angling sport.

Published: February 2016

Abstract
Katowice is the largest city within the Upper Silesian Industrial District (S Poland). The investtigation conducted in this town earlier (1998-2000) showed limited number of epiphytic species. Recent study showed significant increase in number of localities of obligate epiphytes (mainly from the genera Orthotrichum and Ulota). They colonize mainly the edges of strongly urbanized areas bordering forest complexes and larger parks. This paper is an attempt to answer the question as currently in Katowice shape the main factors determining the occurrence of epiphytes. Crucial factors which govern epiphytes colonization processes in urban areas have been confirmed: bark chemistry (taking into account natural attributes and the influence of pollution) and air humidity. The preference of epiphytes towards inhabited phorophytes was confirmed as well. The most commonly and abundantly inhabited species were poplar and willow trees (which have a higher pH of bark).

Abstract
Teo, SYM, Newton, MJ, Newton, RU, Dempsey, AR, and Fairchild, TJ. Comparing the effectiveness of a short-term vertical jump vs. weightlifting program on athletic power development. J Strength Cond Res 30(10): 2741–2748, 2016—Efficient training of neuromuscular power and the translation of this power to sport-specific tasks is a key objective in the preparation of athletes involved in team-based sports. The purpose of this study was to compare changes in center of mass (COM) neuromuscular power and performance of sport-specific tasks after short-term (6-week) training adopting either Olympic-style weightlifting (WL) exercises or vertical jump (VJ) exercises. Twenty-six recreationally active men (18–30 years; height: 178.7 ± 8.3 cm; mass: 78.6 ± 12.2 kg) were randomly allocated to either a WL or VJ training group and performance during the countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ), depth jump (DJ), 20-m sprint, and the 5-0-5 agility test–assessed pre and posttraining. Despite the WL group demonstrating larger increases in peak power output during the CMJ (WL group: 10% increase, d = 0.701; VJ group: 5.78% increase, d = 0.328) and SJ (WL group: 12.73% increase, d = 0.854; VJ group: 7.27% increase, d = 0.382), no significant between-group differences were observed in any outcome measure studied. There was a significant main effect of time observed for the 3 VJs (CMJ, SJ, and DJ), 0- to 5-m and 0- to 20-m sprint times, and the 5-0-5 agility test time, which were all shown to improve after the training (all main effects of time p < 0.01). Irrespective of the training approach adopted by coaches or athletes, addition of either WL or VJ training for development of power can improve performance in tasks associated with team-based sports, even in athletes with limited preseason training periods.

Abstract
García-Pinillos, F, Soto-Hermoso, VM, and Latorre-Román, PÁ. Do running kinematic characteristics change over a typical HIIT for endurance runners?. J Strength Cond Res 30(10): 2907–2917, 2016—The purpose of this study was to describe kinematic changes that occur during a common high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT) session for endurance runners. Twenty-eight male endurance runners participated in this study. A high-speed camera was used to measure sagittal-plane kinematics at the first and the last run during a HIIT (4 × 3 × 400 m). The dependent variables were spatial-temporal variables, joint angles during support and swing, and foot strike pattern. Physiological variables, rate of perceived exertion, and athletic performance were also recorded. No significant changes (p ≥ 0.05) in kinematic variables were found during the HIIT session. Two cluster analyses were performed, according to the average running pace—faster vs. slower, and according to exhaustion level reached—exhausted group vs. nonexhausted group (NEG). At first run, no significant differences were found between groups. As for the changes induced by the running protocol, significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) were found between faster and slower athletes at toe-off in θhip and θknee, whereas some changes were found in NEG in θhip during toe-off (+4.3°) and θknee at toe-off (−5.2°) during swing. The results show that a common HIIT session for endurance runners did not consistently or substantially perturb the running kinematics of trained male runners. Additionally, although some differences between groups have been found, neither athletic performance nor exhaustion level reached seems to be determinant in the kinematic response during a HIIT, at least for this group of moderately trained endurance runners.
