An Analysis on the Decline in the Authoritative Powers of the Papacy and its Application to Challenges to Authoritative Powers Faced By the Permanent Membership of the UN Security Council

The organizational authority of the Papacy in the Roman Catholic Church and the permanent membership of the UN Security Council are unique from institutions that are commonly compared with the UN, like the Concert of Europe and the League of Nations, in that these institutional organs possessed strong authoritative and veto powers. Both organs also owe their strong authority during their founding to a need for stability: The Papacy after the crippling of Western Roman Empire and the P-5 to deal with the insecurities of the post-WWII world. While the P-5 still possesses similar authoritative powers within the Council as it did after WWII, the historical authoritative powers of the Papacy within the Church was debilitated to such a degree that by the time of the Reformation in Europe, condemnations of practices within the Church itself were not effective. This paper will analyze major challenges to the authoritative powers of the Papacy, from the crowning of Charlemagne to the beginning of the Reformation, and compare the analysis to challenges affecting the authoritative powers of the P-5 since its creation. From research conducted thus far, I hypothesize that common themes affecting the authoritative powers of the P-5 and the Papacy would include: major changes in the institutions organization (i.e. the Avignon Papacy and Japan’s bid to become a permanent member); the decline in power of actors supporting the institutional organ (i.e. the Holy Roman Empire and the P-5 members); and ideological clashes affecting the institution’s normative power (i.e. the Great Western Schism and Cold War politics).

Aged embankment imaging and assessment using surface waves

Rapid, non-intrusive surface wave surveys provide depth profiles from which ground models can be generated for use in earthwork condition assessment. Stiffness throughout earthworks controls the behaviour under static and dynamic loads, and characterising heterogeneity is of interest in relation to the stability of engineered backfill and life-cycle deterioration in aged utility and transportation infrastructure. Continuous surface wave methods were used to identify interfaces between fine- and coarse-grained fill in an end-tipped embankment along the Great Central Railway in Nottinghamshire, UK. Multichannel analysis of surface wave (MASW) methods were used to characterise subsurface voiding in a canal embankment along the Knottingley and Goole canal near Eggborough, Yorkshire. MASW methods are currently being used to study extreme weather impacts on the stability of a highplasticity clay embankment along the Gloucestershire–Warwickshire railway near Laverton. Optimal results were obtained using equipment capable of generating and detecting over wide frequency ranges.

A IMPLANTAÇÃO FERROVIÁRIA NO ESTADO DO RIO DE JANEIRO: 1854-1898

Esse artigo é parte da pesquisa que pretende analisar a importância da ferrovia para a circulação na região Norte Fluminense do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A pesquisa, ainda não concluída, está baseada nos preceitos da Geografia Histórica (ver SILVA, 2008). Com isso é necessário analisar o processo maior de implantação ferroviária no Estado do Rio de Janeiro desde o início da implantação ferroviária, em 1854, da primeira ferrovia brasileira, a Imperial Companhia de Navegação a Vapor e Estrada de Ferro de Petrópolis. A partir daí surge a Ferrovia Dom Pedro II, uma das mais importantes do país e depois a Estrada de Ferro Cantagalo. São então implantadas diversas ferrovias, sempre atendendo à interesses regionais capitaneados por lideranças locais. Assim é que a ferrovia chega em Campos dos Goytacazes em 1875. Outra importante ferrovia do estado foi a Estrada de Ferro Leopoldina, que foi incorporando várias pequenas linhas férreas, até a transformação desta ferrovia em outra empresa a “The Leopoldina Railway Company”, que começa a funcionar em 1898, substituindo o caos reinante na companhia anterior. O conhecimento do período inicial de configuração de uma rede ferroviária no Norte Fluminense passa a ser de fundamental importância devido à importância da Companhia Leopoldina para a região Norte Fluminense em períodos posteriores.
