THE PREVENTION OF BRIBERY IN PUBLIC SECTOR (CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE CRIMINOLOGY, FROM THE CORPORATE COMPLIANCE AND PUBLIC COMPLIANCE)
No full textDissertação de Mestrado em Direito apresentada à Faculdade de DireitoCurrently, some studies already propose that the public compliance incorporates the lessons learnt in the context of the corporate compliance, which has developed most in recent decades. At the same time, as the compliance was incorporated in the universe of criminal law, in the direction of the principles of a “global science of the criminal law”, it seems to be useful checking the contributions which can be provided by criminology in order to its improvement. The aim is to check which contributions for the public compliance improvement can be provided by criminology and by the corporate compliance, specially outlining guidelines for the improvement of the prevention of bribery in the public administration. White-collar crime theory, situational crime prevention perspective and techniques of neutralization are analysed. The corporate compliance is subsequently examined in its essential aspects and elements (compliance-culture, institutionalization, gap analysis, compliance programme and internal investigation procedure). Some guidelines for the improvement of public compliance are outlined at the end. The contributions provided by criminology has primarily focused on the compliance-culture, the gap analysis and the compliance programme. It was possible to notice a greater weight of the corporate compliance contributions in public compliance institutionalization, in internal investigation procedures and in the incentives for the adoption by the public sector of an effective system to prevention and detection of irregularities. A better definition of these incentives, in the frame of public compliance, deserves, however, a deep approach.Atualmente, alguns autores já propõem que o public compliance – entendido, numa primeira aproximação, como conjunto sistemático de medidas tendentes a garantir que todos os agentes públicos ajam, no âmbito da Administração Pública, em conformidade com o ordenamento jurídico-penal – assimile lições aprendidas, nas últimas décadas, no âmbito do corporate compliance, por ter este se desenvolvido mais no período. Ao mesmo tempo, como o compliance foi integrado ao universo penal, na perspectiva de uma “ciência conjunta do direito penal”, parece natural a verificação de contribuições que podem ser prestadas pela criminologia para seu aprimoramento. O objetivo, aqui, é examinar algumas contribuições para o aprimoramento do public compliance que podem ser extraídas da criminologia e do corporate compliance, com a expectativa de esboçar, em seguida, diretrizes para o aperfeiçoamento da prevenção da corrupção na Administração Pública. São analisadas as teorias do crime de colarinho branco, da prevenção situacional do delito e das técnicas de neutralização da culpa. O corporate compliance, na sequência, é examinado, em seus aspectos e elementos essenciais (cultura de compliance, institucionalização, análise de riscos, programa de compliance e procedimento de investigação interna). Algumas diretrizes para o aperfeiçoamento do public compliance são, ao final, esboçadas. As contribuições prestadas pela criminologia centraram-se sobretudo na implantação de uma cultura de compliance, na análise de riscos e na organização do programa de compliance. Foi possível notar um peso maior das contribuições do corporate compliance na institucionalização do public compliance, no desenho de procedimentos de investigação interna e nos estímulos para a adoção, pelo setor público, de um sistema eficaz de prevenção e detecção de delitos. Uma melhor definição de tais estímulos, no marco do public compliance, merece, todavia, futuro aprofundamento
A recuperação de ativos, o regime do reconhecimento mútuo e os pedidos de cooperação judiciária relacionados a confisco non-conviction based em Portugal
Get PDFThe present work seeks to answer the following question: in Portugal, does the mutual recognition regime cover a request for judicial cooperation, from another Member State of the European Union, based on non-conviction based confiscation ?. After a brief analysis of the instruments of forfeiture (criminal) adopted by Portugal (classic forfeiture and extended forfeiture), non-conviction based forms of forfeiture (of a civil nature and of criminal nature) and models of judicial cooperation in Europe, concludes that the mutual recognition model nowadays covers both the classic and extended forfeiture, but not any of the non-conviction-based forms of forfeiture - civil or in criminal prosecution. Thus, in the end, we conclude that the question that motivated the present work should be answered negatively.O presente trabalho procura responder à seguinte questão: em Portugal, o regime de reconhecimento mútuo abrange pedido de cooperação judiciária, de outro Estado-Membro da União Europeia, fundado em confisco non-conviction based? Após breve análise das modalidades de confisco (criminal) existentes em Portugal (perda clássica e perda alargada), das formas de confisco non-conviction based (o de índole civil e o de índole criminal) e dos modelos de cooperação judiciária na Europa, conclui-se que o modelo de reconhecimento mútuo, nos dias de hoje, abrange quer a perda clássica, quer a perda alargada, mas não qualquer das formas de confisco non-conviction based– civil ou em processo criminal. Assim, ao final, concluímos que se deve responder negativamente a pergunta que motivou o presente trabalho
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
