CRÉDITOS NÃO SUJEITOS À RECUPERAÇÃO JUDICIAL SOB A PERSPECTIVA DA ANÁLISE ECONÔMICA DO DIREITO
RESUMOO instituto da recuperação judicial foi positivado por intermédio da Lei 11.101/2005, substituindo o vetusto Decreto-lei 7.661/1945, que há muito tempo já não correspondia às necessidades das empresas em crise, sendo que, invariavelmente, elas sucumbiam perante a situação que se encontravam. Este novo diploma legal trouxe modernidade para o Direito Concursal brasileiro, adotando procedimentos completamente diversos dos até então vigentes, alinhando a nova lei com os institutos correspondentes das principais economias mundiais. Incorporou ao seu texto os princípios constitucionais da preservação da empresa, do tratamento diferenciado às microempresas e empresas de pequeno porte (VILLAS BÔAS; MARUCO, 2018, p. 367)(i), da proteção ao trabalho, da função social da propriedade, entre outros.

A PERÍCIA PRÉVIA COMO REQUISITO PARA O DEFERIMENTO DA RECUPERAÇÃO JUDICIAL E A MITIGAÇÃO DO PRINCÍPIO DA PRESERVAÇÃO DA EMPRESA
RESUMOO presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar a exigência pelos Juízes que atuam em casos de insolvência da perícia prévia como requisito para o deferimento do processamento da recuperação judicial. Trata-se de medida que visa constatar, por intermédio de um expert, alguns pontos relacionados à empresa em crise que busca o socorro judicial para manter suas atividades. Visa identificar se a documentação exigida para o ingresso do pedido de recuperação está de acordo com o que determina a Lei de Recuperação de Empresas e Falências (LREF), se a sociedade empresária tem condições de se recuperar, gerando empregos, tributos, produtos, serviços, enfim, produzindo riquezas, bem como identificar possíveis fraudes a credores, evitando, assim, a utilização do instituto da recuperação judicial por empresas inviáveis. Porém, por mais nobres que pareçam ser os objetivos da perícia prévia, este requisito, que não encontra respaldo legal, e que vem sendo utilizado com frequência pelos tribunais, causa sérios problemas para a devedora, que vê protelado o deferimento de seu pedido de recuperação judicial e dos pedidos liminares que permeiam esse tipo de procedimento, causando uma demora desnecessária para que a empresa obtenha a proteção legal a ela destinada. A decisão que determina a realização da perícia prévia é, prima facie, ativismo judicial, interferindo o judiciário diretamente na atividade do legislador. A metodologia utilizada foi o estudo bibliográfico e documental
A CONSTITUCIONALIZAÇÃO DO DIREITO E A NORMATIVIDADE DA LEI TRIBUTÁRIA
O artigo analisa o fenômeno da constitucionalização do Direito Tributário brasileiro. A análise trata da relação entre a Constituição e a legislação infraconstitucional. Busca-se avaliar o modo como a constitucionalização em matéria tributária repercute efeitos em face das necessidades de mudanças exigidas pela atividade econômica na realidade brasileira. Discute-se os fundamentos da constitucionalização e os efeitos interpretativos de modo a indicar uma perspectiva de desconstitucionalização compatível com a preservação dos direitos fundamentais em matéria tributária. Adota-se uma metodologia dedutiva, com bases bibliográficas e documentais
Microporous polyolefin strands as controlled-release devices for mosquito repellents
The main vectors of malaria in Africa, i.e. An. arabiensis, An. gambiae s.s. and An. funestus, are attracted by human foot odour and they tend to bite victims in the ankle area. Hence, affordable mosquito-repellent polymer-foot bracelets with long lasting protection could reduce infective lower limb bites and therefore help to reduce the overall malaria transmission rate. This study investigated the possibility of increasing the duration of repellence activity by incorporating repellents into inexpensive thermoplastic polymers, namely poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). Volatile repellents need to be released into the surrounding air to be effective, i.e. they are continuously lost to the atmosphere. This means that the bracelet should also act as a reservoir for relatively large quantities of the active compound. Towards this goal, polymer strands containing mosquito repellent were prepared by twin-screw extrusion compounding. A co-continuous phase structure was achieved by rapid quenching in an ice bath of the homogeneous polymer-repellent melt mixture exiting the extruder. Phase separation occurred through spinodal decomposition that trapped the liquid repellent in the microporous polymer matrix. A skin-like membrane that covered the extruded polymer strands controlled the release rate. Strands that contained up to 30 wt-% of either DEET or Icaridin provided effective protection against mosquito bites even after 12 weeks of ageing at 50 °C.The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Germany, under Grant AN 212/22-1.http://http://www.elsevier.com/locate/cej2020-03-15hj2019Chemical EngineeringMedical VirologyStatistic

Mosquito repellent microporous polyolefin strands
Pyrogenic silica and organoclay nanocomposite strands containing liquid mosquito repellents were prepared by twinscrew extrusion compounding. The mosquito repellents DEET and Icaridin were immobilized in the pores of a microporous
polyolefin matrix. The nature and levels of the repellent and nanofiller employed affected the material phase morphology. The
repellent release was followed as a function of ageing time in convection ovens set at 50 qC. The release rates were a described
by a mathematical model that considered the microporous internal structure. In most cases, the integral skin covering the strands
determined the repellent release rate. The implication of these findings is that Icaridin is an attractive candidate for long-lasting
wearable mosquito repellent devices.The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)https://aip.scitation.org/journal/apcpm2021Chemical EngineeringUP Centre for Sustainable Malaria Control (UP CSMC
Solid–liquid–liquid phase envelopes from temperature-scanned refractive index data
A novel method for estimating the upper critical
solution temperature (UCST) of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide
(DEET)-polyethylene systems was developed. It was validated
using data for the dimethylacetamide (DMA)-alkane
systems which showed that refractive index mixing rules,
linear in volume fraction, can accurately predict mixture
composition for amide-alkane systems. Furthermore,
rescaling the composition descriptor with a single adjustable
parameter proved adequate to address any asymmetry
when modeling the DMA-alkane phase envelopes. This
allowed the translation of measured refractive index cooling
trajectories of DEET-alkane systems into phase diagrams
and facilitated the estimation of the UCST values by
fitting the data with an adjusted composition descriptor
model. For both the DEET- and DMA-alkane systems, linear
behavior of UCST values in either the Flory–Huggins critical
interaction parameter, or the alkane critical temperature,
with increasing alkane molar mass is evident. The UCST
values for polymer diluent systems were estimated by extrapolation using these two complimentary approaches.
For the DEET-polyethylene system, values of 183.4 and
180.1 °C respectively were obtained. Both estimates are
significantly higher than the melting temperature range of
polyethylene. Initial liquid–liquid phase separation is therefore likely to be responsible for the previously reported
microporous microstructure of materials formed from this
binary system.https://www.degruyter.com/view/journals/polyeng/polyeng-overview.xmlam2022Chemical EngineeringUP Centre for Sustainable Malaria Control (UP CSMC
Development, characterization and modeling of mosquito repellent release from microporous devices
Nanocomposite strands with mosquito repellent DEET or Icaridin incorporated in a poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) matrix, with either pyrogenic
silica or an organoclay as a nanofiller, were prepared by a twin-screw extrusion
compounding technique. The nature and levels of the repellent and nanofiller
that was used affected the material phase morphology. The repellent release
was followed as a function of aging time in convection ovens set at 30 and
50 C. The experimental release data of the mosquito repellent from the microporous polymer swellable matrix strands was mathematically modeled and
fitted using a range of semi-empirical models. In the majority of case, the
Korsmeyer-Peppas power law model provided the best data fit. As expected,
the wide range of internal morphologies also resulted in quite different release
profiles. These models were found to be valuable as they provided insights into
the mechanism of repellent release from EVA swellable matrices. It was possible to differentiate between diffusion and relaxation mechanisms. Surprisingly,
strands containing nominally more than 30 wt% Icaridin showed accelerating
mass loss during the initial phase, consistent with Super Case II transport. Diffusional exponents as high as 1.81 were found. Furthermore, the internal
microporous region of the extruded EVA strands was covered by a surface
membrane that acted a diffusion barrier that, in effect, controlled the release
rate of the mosquito repellents. Some of the investigated samples exhibited
release profiles that suggest that longer lasting effective release of repellents is
possible than currently achieved by available commercially products.Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/26903857hj2021Chemical EngineeringUP Centre for Sustainable Malaria Control (UP CSMC
