Abstract

Insulin secretion is critical for glucose homeostasis, and increased levels of the precursor proinsulin relative to insulin indicate pancreatic islet beta-cell stress and insufficient insulin secretory capacity in the setting of insulin resistance. We conducted meta-analyses of genome-wide association results for fasting proinsulin from 16 European-ancestry studies in 45,861 individuals. We found 36 independent signals at 30 loci (p value <5×10⁻⁸), which validated 12 previously reported loci for proinsulin and ten additional loci previously identified for another glycemic trait. Half of the alleles associated with higher proinsulin showed higher rather than lower effects on glucose levels, corresponding to different mechanisms. Proinsulin loci included genes that affect prohormone convertases, beta-cell dysfunction, vesicle trafficking, beta-cell transcriptional regulation, and lysosomes/autophagy processes. We colocalized 11 proinsulin signals with islet expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) data, suggesting candidate genes, including ARSG, WIPI1, SLC7A14, and SIX3. The NKX6‐3/ANK1 proinsulin signal colocalized with a T2D signal and an adipose ANK1 eQTL signal but not the islet NKX6‐3 eQTL. Signals were enriched for islet enhancers, and we showed a plausible islet regulatory mechanism for the lead signal in the MADD locus. These results show how detailed genetic studies of an intermediate phenotype can elucidate mechanisms that may predispose one to disease.

Abstract

Sob a ótica do poder dominante, a sociedade constrói princípios sexualizantes, que estabelecem quais são as funções dos dominantes, dominados e dominadas. O poder dominante transforma o ato sexual em uma forma de dominação, de posse, que implica na naturalização do estupro das mulheres. O alto índice de absolvição nos crimes sexuais frente à quantidade de registro (um estupro a cada oito minutos) é um reflexo disso, pois os julgadores e as julgadoras são oriundos de uma sociedade patriarcal e, assim, são suscetíveis a interpretações enviesadas que não raro refutam à proteção das mulheres. Nesta pesquisa, utilizou-se como caso paradigma “Mariana Ferrer” referente ao caso de estupro para investigar a presença de vieses cognitivos na atuação jurisdicional em casos semelhantes. Para tanto, utilizou-se método de abordagem fenomenológico-hermenêutico, o método de procedimento monográfico e a bibliográfica e documental como técnicas de pesquisa. Por fim, concluiu-se a importância da multidisciplinariedade e do estudo dos vieses cognitivos, a fim de que as decisões judiciais, ao refutar ideias e crenças do patriarcado, aproximem-se da imparcialidade.

4. Constitucionalismo contemporâneo e constituição ficcional fundadora: o caráter construtivo e fictício das interpretações à luz da matriz direito-literatura

Author

Karam, Henriete, Araujo da Silveira Espindola, Angela, Karam, Henriete, and Araujo da Silveira Espindola, Angela

Abstract

This article discusses merging law and literature, in the light of constitucionalism and narratives to construct the Constitucion of Brazil and talk about contemporary constitutionalism, describing the Constitucion not as a fundamental law, but rather as a fouding fictional constitucion, which i also a narrative filter for constitucional., Centrado na temática “constitucionalismo e literatura”, inserido no contexto das reflexões da Constituição Balzaquiana e vinculado à matriz direito-literatura como referencial teórico e, simultaneamente, como metodologia de abordagem, com incursões na fenomenologia hermenêutica e na psicanálise, este artigo funde olhares jurídicos, e literários, para construir a Constituição de 1988 e narrar o constitucionalismo contemporâneo, descrevendo a Constituição não como lei fundamental, mas antes como Constituição ficcional fundadora, que é também filtro de narratividade para a interpretação constitucional.

5. A teoria da decisão e o homem que confundiu a mulher com um chapéu

Author

Araujo da Silveira Espindola, Angela and Araujo da Silveira Espindola, Angela

Abstract

The inspiration for this essay comes from the literary short story by Oliver Sacks – The man who mistook his wife for a hat. The proposal is to highlight possible and necessary interfaces between Law and Literature, without neglecting minimum methodological requirements. The object of reflection is the judicial decision and the problem of judicial activism. Specifically, we intend to explore, based on the literary short story, (a) the importance of narrative to Law and (b) the limits of jurisdictional action, all this in the context of the Brazilian Constitution’s thirtieth anniversary. All this, in order to establish a dialogue between Sacks’ story and the main theoretical references that guide the central argument., A inspiração para este ensaio surge a partir do conto literário de Oliver Sacks - O homem que confundiu a mulher com um chapéu. A proposta é evidenciar interfaces possíveis e necessárias entre Direito e Literatura, sem desatender exigências metodológicas mínimas. O objeto da reflexão é a decisão judicial e a problemática do ativismo judicial. Especificamente, pretende-se explorar, a partir do conto literário, (a) a importância da narrativa para o Direito e (b) os limites da atuação jurisdicional, tudo isso no contexto da Constituição trintagenária. Tudo isso, com vistas a estabelecer um diálogo entre aquele conto e os principais referenciais teóricos que orientam o argumento central.

6. O ensino jurídico no Brasil e o senso comum teórico dos juristas: um “olhar” a partir de Warat

Author

Araujo da Silveira Espindola, Angela, da Silva Seeger, Luana, Araujo da Silveira Espindola, Angela, and da Silva Seeger, Luana

Abstract

This essay aims at the formation of the jurist in the contemporary Brazilian context, with special attention to the search for alternatives to a crisis scenario in legal education in this thirty - year Federal Constitution. Of course, this is a multifaceted context marked by major challenges arising not only from the complexity and social complexity and the emergence of new rights, but also from the intensification of the crisis of jurisdiction in the 21st century as a substitute for the state crisis itself and the problem of legal interpretation and judicial decision in post-positivist times. The proposal of this brief article, written in the form of a short essay, starts from the premise of the exhaustion of the traditional model of law teaching, as well as the Waratian diagnosis of the jurist's theoretical common sense. Therefore, in order not to ignore minimal methodological requirements, the reflections depart from the Waratian work, adopting a phenomenological approach, based on qualitative and exploratory research, to describe a socially constructed reality with a view to questioning its foundations. At the end, it will be presented the proposal of the carnavalization of the teaching of law, as a way to overcome the exhaustion of the traditional model today based on the theoretical common sense of the jurist., Este ensaio tem como objeto a formação do jurista no contexto contemporâneo brasileiro, com atenção especial à busca de alternativas para um cenário de crise no ensino jurídico neste trintagenário da Constituição Federal. Por certo, trata-se de um contexto multifacetado, marcado por grandes desafios decorrentes não só na complexidade e complexificação social e pela emergência de novos direitos, mas sobretudo pelo acirramento da crise da jurisdição no século XXI, enquanto sucedâneo da própria crise do Estado e do problema da interpretação jurídica e da decisão judicial em tempos pós-positivistas. A proposta deste breve artigo, redigido na forma de breve ensaio, parte da premissa do esgotamento do modelo tradicional de ensino do direito, bem como do diagnóstico waratiano acerca do senso comum teórico do jurista. Para tanto, buscando não desatender exigências metodológicas mínimas, as reflexões partem da obra waratiana, adotando uma abordagem fenomenológica, sustentada em pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter exploratório, para descrever uma realidade construída socialmente com vistas a questionar seus fundamentos. Ao final, será apresentada a proposta da carnavalização do ensino do direito, como forma de superar o esgotamento do modelo tradicional hoje alicerçado sobre o senso comum teórico do jurista.

Abstract

In an educational stage that has been affected by changes due to neo-liberal society hegemonic interests, the school pedagogue's training, taken in this paper as the pedagogical coordinator, also changes. In this paper we aim to reflect on this professional training based on the historical constitution of the profession, setting up relations with the concepts of professionality and professionalism. Our methodological approach is based on a bibliographical research and on a documental analysis grounded on a theoretical production over the pedagogical coordinator's identity, but also his profession in a historical and social context based in the emerging, dominant, and residual categories. We highlight the need of rethinking teaching training policies with questions related to some particularities regarding pedagogical coordinators' work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

10. Entre a insustentabilidade e a futilidade: a jurisdição, o direito e o imaginário social sobre o juiz

Author

Araujo da Silveira Espindola, Angela and Araujo da Silveira Espindola, Angela

Abstract

This “essay” intends to take an unpretentious approach to the problem of the lack of sense in law and, consequently, in jurisdiction, based on the problem surrounding judicial decisions, and the (social) role of the judge, as well as the mode of production of law itself, led by the law and literature methodological approach. The reflection seeks for inspiration in the works of Milan Kundera to discuss the representations of law and the social imaginary about judges, criticizing the legalistic normativism and the legal functionalism as models of execution of jurisdiction and signaling “jurisprudentialism” as a counterpoint to the previous models, which assumes the paradigm of judgment-centered jurisdiction, not the logical-deductive subsumption or the simple decision., Este “ensaio” pretende tecer uma abordagem despretensiosa sobre o problema da “falta de sentido” (falta de base epistemológica) do direito e da jurisdição a partir da problemática da decisão judicial e do papel (social) do julgador bem como do modo de produção do próprio direito. A reflexão é feita a partir do paradigma do jurisprudencialismo de Castanheira Neves e sua obra “O direito hoje e com que sentido?”, bem como a partir do movimento law and literature, buscando inspiração em Milan Kundera para discutir as representações do direito e do imaginário social do juiz

11. O senso comum teórico do jurista e a arte de reduzir cabeças

Author

Abstract

This article recaptures Edgar Morin's proposal, especially in the book "A well-made head: rethinking reform, reforming thinking", written at the end of the 20th century, inaugurating the opening of the 21st century. The first translated edition was published in Brazil in the same year of publication of the original text in French and has been reissued in Brazil. This proposal adds Luiz Alberto Warat's critique of "jurist's theoretical common sense" and Dany-Robert Dufour's analysis of "The art of reducing heads"; The purpose of this brief reflection is to problematize the sufficiency, efficiency and effectiveness of legislative reforms to overcome the crisis of the law and the State, as well as the role of curricular reforms in undergraduate courses in law. Are the legislative reforms carried out in the Brazilian legal system and the curricular reforms carried out in legal education capable of transforming the way law is produced? For these reflections it is based on philosophical hermeneutics as a methodological perspective and of the authors mentioned above, with a view to indicating possible ways for the re-founding of the jurisdiction and for the construction of a methodological contribution for the teaching of the law, in order to contemplate fruitful interlacing between Theory and praxis, in a circular knowledge, O presente artigo recupera a proposta de Edgar Morin amadurecida, em especial, na obra “A cabeça bem-feita: repensar a reforma, reformar o pensamento”, escrito no final do século XX, inaugurando a abertura do século XXI. A primeira edição traduzida foi publicada no Brasil no mesmo ano da publicação do texto original em francês e desde vem sendo reeditado no Brasil. A esta proposta agrega a crítica de Luiz Alberto Warat quanto ao “senso comum teórico do jurista” e a análise de Dany-Robert Dufour na obra “A arte de reduzir cabeças”; Objetivo desta breve reflexão é, problematizar a suficiência, a eficiência e a efetividade de reformas legislativas para a superação da crise do direito e do Estado, bem como o papel das reformas curriculares nos cursos de graduação em direito. As reformas legislativas operadas no sistema jurídico brasileiro e as reformas curriculares realizadas no ensino jurídico tem o condão de transformar o modo de produção do direito? Para estas reflexões parte-se da hermenêutica filosófica como perspectiva metodológica e dos autores acima referidos, com vistas a sinalizar caminhos possíveis para a refundação da jurisdição e para a construção de um aporte metodológico para o ensino do direito, de modo a contemplar profícuo entrelaçamento entre a teoria e a práxis, em um saber circular

Abstract

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 100 genetic variants contributing to BMI, a measure of body size, or waist-to-hip ratio (adjusted for BMI, WHRadjBMI), a measure of body shape. Body size and shape change as people grow older and these changes differ substantially between men and women. To systematically screen for age- and/or sex-specific effects of genetic variants on BMI and WHRadjBMI, we performed meta-analyses of 114 studies (up to 320,485 individuals of European descent) with genome-wide chip and/or Metabochip data by the Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) Consortium. Each study tested the association of up to ~2.8M SNPs with BMI and WHRadjBMI in four strata (men ≤50y, men >50y, women ≤50y, women >50y) and summary statistics were combined in stratum-specific meta-analyses. We then screened for variants that showed age-specific effects (G x AGE), sex-specific effects (G x SEX) or age-specific effects that differed between men and women (G x AGE x SEX). For BMI, we identified 15 loci (11 previously established for main effects, four novel) that showed significant (FDR<5%) age-specific effects, of which 11 had larger effects in younger (<50y) than in older adults (≥50y). No sex-dependent effects were identified for B

Abstract

Fibrinogen, coagulation factor VII (FVII), and factor VIII (FVIII) and its carrier von Willebrand factor (vWF) play key roles in hemostasis. Previously identified common variants explain only a small fraction of the trait heritabilities, and additional variations may be explained by associations with rarer variants with larger effects. The aim of this study was to identify low-frequency (minor allele frequency [MAF] ≥0.01 and <0.05) and rare (MAF <0.01) variants that influence plasma concentrations of these 4 hemostatic factors by meta-analyzing exome chip data from up to 76 000 participants of 4 ancestries. We identified 12 novel associations of low-frequency (n = 2) and rare (n = 10) variants across the fibrinogen, FVII, FVIII, and vWF traits that were independent of previously identified associations. Novel loci were found within previously reported genes and had effect sizes much larger than and independent of previously identified

15. A refundação da jurisdição e as multidimensões da sustentabilidade: Qual a jurisdição que temos e qual queremos?

Author

Araujo da Silveira Espindola, Angela and Araujo da Silveira Espindola, Angela

Abstract

This paper outlines the symptoms of a crisis of the justice system signaled possible ways to overcome the dominant paradigm, now exhausted. The response to the unfolding of the crisis of the justice system has as base the democratization process, the defense of the realization of fundamental rights and democratic citizenship and participatory. The democratization of the process involves the idealization of a sustainable jurisdiction. Thus emerges the construction of a proposed rebuilding of the jurisdiction which includes the multiple dimensions of sustainability., O presente ensaio apresenta os sintomas de uma crise do sistema de justiça sinalizado caminhos possíveis para a superação do paradigma dominante, ora esgotado. A resposta para os desdobramentos desta crise do sistema de justiça terá como balizador a democratização do processo, a defesa da concretização dos direitos fundamentais e a cidadania democrática e participativa. A democratização do processo passa pela idealização de uma jurisdição sustentável. Emerge assim a construção de uma proposta de refundação da jurisdição a qual contempla as multidimensões da sustentabilidade.

Abstract

Levels of circulating glucose are tightly regulated. To identify new loci influencing glycemic traits, we performed meta-analyses of 21 genome-wide association studies informative for fasting glucose, fasting insulin and indices of beta-cell function (HOMA-B) and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in up to 46,186 nondiabetic participants. Follow-up of 25 loci in up to 76,558 additional subjects identified 16 loci associated with fasting glucose and HOMA-B and two loci associated with fasting insulin and HOMA-IR. These include nine loci newly associated with fasting glucose (in or near ADCY5, MADD, ADRA2A, CRY2, FADS1, GLIS3, SLC2A2, PROX1 and C2CD4B) and one influencing fasting insulin and HOMA-IR (near IGF1). We also demonstrated association of ADCY5, PROX1, GCK, GCKR and DGKB-TMEM195 with type 2 diabetes. Within these loci, likely biological candidate genes influence signal transduction, cell proliferation, development, glucose-sensing and circadian regulation. Our results demonstrate that genetic studies of glycemic traits can identify type 2 diabetes risk loci, as well as loci containing gene variants that are associated with a modest elevation in glucose levels but are not associated with overt diabetes.

19. O APRIMORAMENTO DA (CIBER)DEMOCRACIA A PARTIR DO DIREITO DE LIBERDADE DE EXPRESSÃO.

Author

de Ivanoff, Felipe and da Silveira Espindola, Angela Araújo

Abstract

Current paper deals with the right to freedom of expression as the basis of democracy and a manner for its evolution. It aims at identifying a democratic model compatible to the present one; demonstrating the right to freedom of expression as one of its basis; investigating the stance of the Brazilian Supreme Court in issues involving this right; showing how the exercise of the freedom of expression helps in the evolution of democracy, especially within the contemporary context of cyber democracy. The issue deals on the question whether freedom of expression is effectively a tool for the promotion of democratic ideals. Current analysis employs the induction method by investigating the bibliography for doctrine, law and jurisprudence. Democracy and freedom of expression will be analyzed separately and then investigated with cyberdemocracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This paper presents the transition from the Liberal Classical State to the Contemporary State, sketches a brief history of that process and describes the concept of law and procedure in each one of these states, highlighting the liberal rationalist paradigm and neoconstitutionalism. Then it analyzes the principle of judicial control, discussing its history and current design in the light of the effectiveness of adjudication and the needs of the Contemporary State. It concludes by presenting the findings of these reflections on the principle of due process, stressing the need for action appropriate to the concrete case for an effective protection of substantive rights.

22. Resultados preliminares sobre os teores de detergentes aniônicos na baía e estuário de Santos

Author

Silveira, Maria Angela Valin da, Pereira, Norival, and Tommasi, Luiz Roberto

Abstract

The highest level of detergents was obtained in the interior of the Santos Channely in front of Channel 6 and also in the vicinity of the Santos ocean outfall diffusor. There are thus three principal soucers of detergents in this region: a. the Cubatão industrial complex, and the Billings reservoir; b. the city of Santos (unauthorized sewage connections); c. the ocean outfall. Detergent levels obtained vary between 0.11 and 0.97 ppm ABS. Os maiores níveis de detergentes foram obtidos no interior do Canal de Santos, em frente ao Canal 6 e na região do difusor do emissário submarino de esgostos de Santos. Há, assim, três fontes principais de detergentes para a região: a) o complexo industrial de Cubatao - Sistema Billings; b) a cidade de Santos (ligações clandestinas de esgotos), e c) o emissário submarino. Os níveis de detergentes obtidos variaram de 0,11 a 0,97 ppm ABS.
