Logistic Regression (LR) is widely used in credit risk assessment as it models the relationship between a binary response variable and a set of predictors. However, the traditional application of this technique overlooks fundamental aspects present in geographically heterogeneous contexts, such as spatial variation of risk determinants and autocorrelation among nearby observations, which are common in socioeconomic data of unequal countries like Brazil. This study addresses this limitation th...

This research is based on the observation that we are bombarded by images and subjected to visual overstimulation, which has affected our individual capacity for contemplative perception and created an anesthetic effect. The problem becomes more pronounced when the predominance of visual experience extends beyond the collective urban space and establishes other ways of coexisting in the contemporary city. In this sense, at a time of technological fear, in which the production of knowledge is ...

Grounded in Luigi Ferrajoli’s theory of constitutional guarantees, the research assumes that these institutions should not be conceived as discretionary political actors, but rather as bound bod...

The concept of sovereignty also appears to be under reformulation, one of the characteristics that provide the foundation for the concept of the State and that once seemed consolidated in s...

Objective: This study analyzed the acute effects of IHG on BP responses and cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM)...
