Rogerio Bacono mokslo vizija
No full textStraipsnyje analizuojama XIII amžiaus pranciškonų mokslininko Rogerio Bacono mokslo samprata. Baconas suvokė mokslo svarbą reformuojant visuomenės gyvenimą, todėl jo tikslas buvo įgyvendinti tarpdisciplininę komunikaciją. Jis siekė sukurti universalią mokslo sistemą (scientia integralis), kurioje derėtų tiek Biblija, tiek filosofija, tiek gamtos mokslai. Jungiančioji grandis šioje mokslų sistemoje yra matematika ir eksperimentinis mokslas (scientia experimentalis). Pasaulio ir gamtos supratimas, Bacono teigimu, galimas tik apjungiant proto ir eksperimento pradus. Bacono mokslo vizija analizuojama remiantis jo traktatu „Opus Maius“. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Rogeris Baconas; Scientia integralis; Scientia experimentalis; Pažinimas; Matematika; Roger Bacon; Scientia integralis; Scientia experimentalis; Cognition; MathematicsThe article considers the concept of science as it is expressed by 13th century Franciscan scientist Roger Bacon. Hi realized the importance of science for the reformation of social life and therefore strived to promote interdisciplinary communication. He sought to constitute the universal system of science (scientia integralis) which would encompass Bible, philosophy, and natural sciences. The integrating core of this system would be mathematics and experimental science (scientia experimentalis). According to the author, the cognition of the world and nature was possible if and only if the principles of reasoning and experimenting were united. Bacon’s vision is analyses is based on his treatise "Opus Maius"
Informal gold mining and mercury pollution in Brazil
Get PDFThe Amazon region has been responsible for a major share of Brazilian gold production in recent years. The region has witnessed a sizable gold rush comparable only to the California gold rush last century. The gold rush has spawned a powerful informal mining sector and has attracted many people - some who have come to the region in search of wealth and some who were already there but were displaced from other, unsuccessful economicactivities. What these people encounter at the mining sites are dreadful living and working conditions. Gold mining also causes substantial environmental problems, which may persist whether gold deposits do or not. The author discusses the environmental effects of gold mining in the region, focusing on mercury pollution. Mercury, an important input in gold extraction, is being discharged into the atmosphere and the rivers at alarming rates. The environmental costs of the present extraction, is being discharged into the atmosphere and the rivers at alarming rates. The environmental costs of the present extraction technology will be faced primarily by future generations, because of natural chemical processes. Although removing the mercury already discharged from the Amazonian environment may be an enormous task, at least future discharges should be curtailed through the use of appropriate technology, environmental education, and a combination of command and control measures and market-based incentives. The author describes the gold extraction process and the extent of mercury use and contamination. He analyzes key elements of the environmental problem, especially the informal miner and the fish economy. Finally, he suggests a combination of command and control regulations and market-based incentives adapted to the informal gold mining economic environment. He emphasizes the need for an education campaign about the perils of using mercury and the availability of more appropriate, and inexpensive, alternative extraction technologies.Mining&Extractive Industry (Non-Energy),Montreal Protocol,Water and Industry,Coastal and Marine Resources,Primary Metals

Meios de impugnação à decisão monocrática
No full textEm meio a uma crise que ameaça engessar o Poder Judiciário, várias medidas vêm sendo tomadas para manter o acesso à prestação jurisdicional, de forma eficaz e célere, garantia prevista constitucionalmente. Uma delas é a “relativização” do julgamento colegiado recursal, prestigiando a atividade julgadora do relator como órgão fracionário. Devido à aproximação que nosso sistema processual civil está tendo da “common law”, permite-se que uma decisão singular seja proferida a nível de análise de recurso, desde que pautada pelas orientações jurisprudenciais das cortes superiores. Essa decisão monocrática é medida constitucional? Há meios de impugná-la? Quais seriam os instrumentos cabíveis para que uma decisão dessa espécie seja firmada dentro dos parâmetros legais? O agravo interno como recurso por excelência expressamente previsto para insurgir-se contra a decisão, os sucedâneos recursais, as ações autônomas, bem como as especificidades dos diversos meios que são disponibilizados às partes pelo sistema, serão objeto desse estud
UN Peace-Building, Transitional Justice and the Rule of Law in East Timor:The Limits of Institutional Responses to Political Questions
Get PDFA series of UN peace-building missions have taken the leading role in reconstructing the rule of law in East Timor, most notably through the hybridised Special Panels trials from 2000 to 2005 and ongoing hybridised participation in prosecution and judging in the years since then. While UN peace-building doctrine place great faith in transfusions of international expertise in the institutions of justice to secure their autonomy, the experience in East Timor has been one of consistent governmental interference to restrain politically sensitive prosecutions and systematic pardon of those convicted of committing crimes of political violence. Beginning with the thwarted prosecution of Indonesian generals accused of crimes against humanity before the Special Panels, and moving on to consider episodes of prosecutorial interference and systematic pardon in trials dealing with crimes committed during serious civil unrest in 2006 and attempted assassinations of the President and Prime Minister in 2008, this article examines the UN's ongoing failure to secure the autonomy of the judicial institutions it is mandated to assist. It cites a preoccupation on the part of the UN with the institutional aspects of the rule of law which has been emphasised at the expense of the more contentious cultural and behavioural aspects of the rule of law at a political level which are essential if the institutions of justice are to operate independently
Modelling hydrodynamic interactions between deformable droplets
Get PDFDeposited with permission of the author. © 2007 Rogerio Manica.Understanding deformations during interaction of colloidal or nano droplets. has important implications in a wide range of applications such as flotation collection and emulsion stability. The present work is important and necessary because current models are unable to properly describe recent experimental results obtained using the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and Surface Force Apparatus (SFA). We revisit and improve on theories involving interacting deformable droplets. A detailed theoretical model of the experiments, which accounts for surface forces, hydrodynamic interactions, droplet deformation and AFM cantilever detection, has been developed. The new feature of the model is the use of matched asymptotic expansions to derive a new boundary condition at constant volume to obtain results that are independent of the size of the computational domain. The AFM experiments provide measurements of dynamical forces between two interacting droplets as well as between a drop and a colloidal particle of micrometre radii in solution when they are driven together and then are retracted from each other. The SFA experiments measure (time dependent) surface profiles of a millimetre size mercury drop interacting with a mica surface. Different configurations have been studied including mechanical and electrical perturbations to a thin film stabilized by double layer repulsion. Interesting experimental features were observed when approaching or retracting the mica from the mercury drop
Between experience and invention: autobiographical incidences in AntonioTorres' fiction
No full textIn Antonio Torres' literature, the presence of artistically elaborated elements that refer to personal experiences and specific features of his life causes the memorialism that governs the telling of the characters' story to interfuse, at times, with the writer's own intimate memories. Based on these aspects, this paper aims to explore the procedures of fictionalization of experiential data in Antonio Torres' novels, given its relevance to the development of the narrative and to the author-text-reader relation. From the dialogic reading of the author's body of work, we seek to define a writer's myth or a literary personality and the consequent edification of an autobiographical space that translates to a singular fictional universe where characters, issues and situations are often recurring, producing a communicative connection between the texts and causing the immediate familiarization of the reader. Besides the production of a literary image of Antonio Torres, we examine how the migration of personal elements to his work allows the social-political reality he witnesses to penetrate into the fictional plan. Resorting to his homeland and his people to portrait the impact of social transformations on the backwoods population, the author's work ends up reflecting the need to show the identity crisis of the backwoods northeastern, clinging to memories of a past that is no longer connected to the present.Univ Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Filho UN, Sao Jose Do Rio Preto, SP, BrazilUniv Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Filho UN, Sao Jose Do Rio Preto, SP, Brazi
Julgamento parcial de mérito e o novo código de processo civil
Get PDFTrata-se o presente trabalho de monografia de conclusão do curso de PósGraduação Lato Sensu – Especialização em Direito Processual Civil, na Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, sob a orientação do Prof. Dr. Rogério Licastro Torres de Mello, apresentada no mês de março de 2017. Para o desenvolvimento do estudo que se propõe, em um primeiro momento, buscar-se-á fazer uma análise acerca da base principiológica que motivou a inserção da técnica do julgamento parcial de mérito no novo Código de Processo Civil. Ainda na primeira parte, para contextualizar o tema e alcançar a compreensão da técnica em toda sua extensão, é realizada uma abordagem assertiva acerca do conceito de mérito, a evolução da conceituação da sentença e da decisão interlocutória, bem como serão traçadas considerações acerca dos capítulos da sentença, profundidade da atividade cognitiva do juiz e hipóteses de cumulação de pedidos. Delineado o quadro principiológico e conceitual, a segunda parte passará a cuidar especificamente da técnica de julgamento parcial de mérito, percorrendo temas como a sua natureza jurídica e origem, analisando-se, nesta seara, os institutos previstos no código de Processo Civil de 1973 que já sinalizavam a possibilidade de fracionamento do mérito, bem como a temática da quebra do dogma chiovendiano della e unità e unicitá della decisione. Nesta segunda parte do trabalho também será feita uma abordagem necessária acerca de seus requisitos e das hipóteses de incidência. Feitas estas análises, passaremos a enfrentar os desafios de cunho prático e técnico da aplicação do instituto e as consequências do julgamento parcial do mérito sob uma perspectiva do contexto trazido pelo Novo Código de Processo Civil. Seus reflexos no sistema recursal, na coisa julgada, na fase de cumprimento de sentença e na contagem do prazo decadencial para a propositura da ação rescisória. Por fim, são elaborados alguns parágrafos à guisa de conclusão e serão elencadas as obras doutrinárias e artigos utilizados como base e inspiração para a realização do trabalho que se pretende desenvolverThis monograph was presented in march 2017 for the conclusion of the Lato Sensu Postgraduate Course - Specialization in Civil Procedural Law, at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, under the orientation of Prof. Dr. Rogério Licastro Torres de Mello. For the development of the study that is proposed, in the first moment, will be analysed the principiological basis that motivated the insertion of the technique of fractionation of judgment in the new Civil Procedure Code. Also in the first part, to contextualize the theme and to reach the comprehension of the technique to its full extent, will be held an assertive approach on the concept of merit, the evolution of the conceptualization of sentence and interlocutory decision, as well as considerations will be drawn about the chapters of the sentence, depth of judge's cognitive activity and hypothesis of joinder of claims. Drafted the conceptual and principiological framework, the second part of the study will focus specifically on the technique of partial judgments on the merits, covering topics such as its legal nature and origin, analyzing, in this area, the institutes existents in the Civil Procedure Code of 1973 that already demonstrated the possibility of fractionation of judgments, as well as the issue of the end of the dogma from Giuseppe Chiovenda about the “unità e unicitá della decisione”. In this second part of the paper, a necessary approach will also be made about its requirements and hypotheses. After that, will be faced the practicals and technicals challenges of applying the institute, and also the consequences of the partial judgment of merit from a perspective of the context brought by the New Civil Procedure Code. Its reflexes in the appeals system, in the res judicata, in the execution phase and in the counting of the peremptive period for the filing of the rescissory action. Finally, some paragraphs will be drawn up as a conclusion and will be listed the doctrinal works and articles used as the basis and inspiration for the stud
The non-place of the Brazilian northeastern migrant in Essa terra, by Antonio Torres
No full textThis paper analyzes, in the novel Essa terra, by Antonio Torres, the journey of the character Nelo, who migrates to Sao Paulo in search of opportunities for social mobility, returning twenty years later to his homeland, in the backwoods of Bahia, where he ends up committing suicide. From the consideration of the individual story of this character as a representation of a collectivity, this text discusses the pessimistic view that the novel transmits about the condition of the northeastern migrant in Brazil, for whom there is no place in society. The narrative discusses the backcountry man situation, who is looking, with the flight to the cities, for a way to escape drought and misery. On the other hand, it also focuses on the circumstances arising from the migration process, such as the marginalization of the poor northeastern man in urban space. On the journey of the character, we evaluate as well the psychological consequences of the social and cultural influence process undergone by him from the contact with another reality, such as the impossibility of readaptation to the place of origin. Leaving Nelo in a state of deterritorialization in relation to the backwoods and not belonging in relation to the city, this relativized space places him in a kind of threshold zone, triggering the identity crisis and the subsequent suicide of the character.UNESP Univ Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Fi, Inst Biociencias Letras & Ciencias Exatas, Programa Posgrad Letras, Dept Estudos Literarios, BR-15084060 Sao Jose Do Rio Preto, SP, BrazilUNESP Univ Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Fi, Inst Biociencias Letras & Ciencias Exatas, Programa Posgrad Letras, Dept Estudos Literarios, BR-15084060 Sao Jose Do Rio Preto, SP, Brazi
