O conceito de direito em Pontes de Miranda
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciencias JuridicasPropusemo-nos, na presente tese, investigar o conceito de direito em Pontes de Miranda, procurando resgatar sua memória jusfilosófica, sua contribuição epistemológica para a teoria jurídica contemporânea e mostrar a importância do seu pensamento jurídico na atualidade. A proposta metodológica do trabalho é analisar crítica e reflexivamente o significado do direito pontesiano, a partir das obras produzidas pelo autor tematizado, dedicando especial atenção às de filosofia do direito por se inserirem nas linhas da pesquisa escolhida, que, por sua vez, servirão como uma espécie de âncora para a indagação de caráter interdisciplinar empreendida; por isso, também são tematizadas as obras sociológicas , políticas, jurídicas, literárias e outras. O estudo, porém, não se reduz à análise do autor em si mesmo, na reflexão da definição única por ele defendida. Visamos ainda analisar sua concepção do direito em relação a determinados autores contemporâneos, discípulos seus e estudiosos de suas obras. Aspecto que igualmente não descuramos foi o de procurar, sempre que possível e no interesse temático, recuperar suas fontes de influência, residentes principalmente no pensamento jurídico alemão. Estruturamos a tese em cinco capítulos. No primeiro, examinamos a tematização da ciência em Pontes de Miranda, envolvendo a relatividade do conhecimento jurídico, o problema fundamental do conhecimento e a formulação de princípios sociológicos. O segundo capítulo dedicamos o método na visão de Pontes de Miranda, onde destacamos o método indutivo como o privilegiado pela ciência jurídica na concepção do jurista brasileiro mencionado. No terceiro capítulo, cuidamos do conceito jurídico em Pontes de Miranda, objeto temático propriamente dito, onde buscamos trabalhar sua natureza sociológica, realçar sua função de coexistência social e sua concepção enquanto fenômeno de paz. O quarto capítulo destinamos ao estudo do objeto do direito em Pontes de Miranda, em que realçamos sua origem nos círculos sociais e a formação dos sistemas jurídicos, examinados o problema das fontes do direito, a insuficiência da forma tradicional de conflitos sociais, no caso, o silogismo lógico, face ao mito da plenitude lógica da ordem jurídica, destacando a concepção valorativa das regras do direito. No último capítulo, abordamos o normativismo dogmático e a política jurídica na perspectiva de Pontes de Miranda, chamando a atenção para a missão delicada da política jurídica que é a de prover o justo, dimensão esta compreendida no conceito do direito pontesiano e que pode servir de resposta para a pergunta tantas vezes formulada e com bastante insistência respondida por lidadores do direito de forma tão diversas e até mesmo contraditórias: que é direito? Em síntese, pretende refletir sobre o significado do direito em Pontes de Miranda, como condição de possibilidade de repensar a matriz jurídica sob a perspectiva da política jurídica, que pode servir de um novo topo legitimador do direito
Viajantes ex-cêntricas nas histórias de Ana Miranda
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.No conjunto das narrativas ficcionais da escritora brasileira Ana Miranda, a temática da viagem # considerada uma das mais férteis da literatura ocidental de todos os tempos # ocupa um espaço de centralidade, podendo até mesmo ser vista como o mais importante eixo de estruturação de suas obras. O estudo realizado pela presente tese tem por objetivo analisar o tratamento dado ao tema da viagem nos romances Desmundo, O retrato do rei, Dias & Dias e Amrik, evidenciando que por intermédio das narradora-viajantes # Oribela, Mariana, Feliciana e Amina # a autora promove um diálogo entre diferentes culturas, gêneros, etnias e gerações, ao mesmo tempo em que estabelece um profícuo diálogo com o passado em sua invariante problematização concernente aos limites e cruzamentos entre o discurso ficcional e os discursos narrativos extraliterários que o cercam, sobretudo o histórico e o biográfico. In the whole of Brazilian writer Ana Miranda#s fictional narrative, the travel thematic # considered one of the most fertile themes of the western literature of all times # occupies a central space, and can even been seen as the most important structuring axis of Miranda#s works. The aim of the present thesis is to analyze the treatment given to the travel subject in the novels Desmundo, O retrato do rei, Dias & Dias and Amrik, emphasizing that, through the traveling narrators, Oribela, Mariana, Feliciana and Amina, the author promotes a connection between different cultures, genders, ethnics and generations, at the same time that establishes a profitable dialogue with the past in her invariant problematization concerning the limits and crossings between the fictional and the extra-literary narrative discourses that surrounds it, mainly the historical and the biographic ones

Ancestral polymorphisms in Drosophila pseudoobscura and Drosophila miranda
No full textAncestral polymorphisms are defined as variants that arose by mutation prior to the speciation event that generated the species in which they segregate. Their presence may complicate the interpretation of molecular data and lead to incorrect phylogenetic inferences. They may also be used to identify regions of the genome that are under balancing selection. It is thus important to take into account the contribution of ancestral polymorphisms to variability within species and divergence between species. Here, we extend and improve a method for estimation of the proportion of ancestral polymorphisms within a species, and apply it to a dataset of 33 X-linked and 34 autosomal protein-coding genes for which sequence polymorphism data are available in both Drosophila pseudoobscura and Drosophila miranda, using Drosophila affinis as an outgroup. We show that a substantial proportion of both X-linked and autosomal synonymous variants in these two species are ancestral, and that a small number of additional genes with unusually high sequence diversity seem to have an excess of ancestral polymorphisms, suggestive of balancing selection

The plant ecology of Miranda wetland: Restoration options
No full textWetlands are increasingly recognised and valued. Communities are accepting the challenges of restoring these severely degraded ecosystems. This study discusses the problems and opportunities associated with restoring Miranda wetland, that forms part of the Firth of Thames, and is an internationally recognised wetland area.
A review of wetland restoration emphasises the unique characteristics and interacting factors operating in wetland ecosystems. Sound planning including specific objective setting and vegetation communities were surveyed for composition, distribution and structure. Basic environmental factors were measured monthly to form community type characteristics and assist in delineating habitat boundaries.
Impacts affecting native vegetation types are assessed and specific attention is given to the control of Carex divisa including tests on salinity tolerance to identify potential competitor species. Restoration options include revegetation, continued grazing, and returning the original hydrology

Sarax timorensis Miranda & Reboleira 2019
No full textSarax timorensis Miranda & Reboleira, 2019 Fig. 103; Table 8 Sarax timorensis Miranda & Reboleira, 2019: 4–8, figs 1–4. Diagnosis Based in part on Miranda & Reboleira (2019), this species may be separated from other species of Sarax in Southeast Asia and Oceania by the following combination of characters: large size (total length 12.82 mm); eight anterior setae; only two pairs of lateral eyes; cheliceral claw with six teeth; male gonopod with base of fistula, dorsal lobe and lateral lobe II sclerotized; pedipalp tarsus with two dorsal spines; leg basitibia with four pseudo-articles; leg IV distitibia sc and sf series each with six trichobothria. The presence of only two pairs of lateral eyes is a unique character state among Amblypygi, otherwise known only in a few extinct species, e.g., Kronocharon longicalcaris Wunderlich, 2015 and Paracharonopsis cambayensis Engel & Grimaldi, 2014. Sarax timorensis differs from these species by its much larger size and the number of spines on the pedipalp. The female is unknown. Etymology Adjective referring to the island of Timor, on which the species is found. Type material (examined) Holotype TIMOR-LESTE • ♂; Lautém District, Puropoko Cave; 08°32′37.7952″ S, 127°03′58.374″ E; 6–12 Sep. 2016; A.S.P.S. Reboleira leg.; ZMUC. Distribution Known only from the type locality. Natural history The cave in which the type material was collected is on the border of Ira Lalaro Lake, a large closed karst depression in the eastern part of Timor Island. The temperature in the cave is constant at about 32°C and a stream runs through it. A large bat colony contributes extensive guano deposits, resulting in high densities of cockroaches throughout the cave.
