El derecho penitenciario: disfunciones prácticas y propuestas de cambio

Se pretende analizar la situción actual real de las prisiones del Estado Español, en comparación a su creación, evolución y los cambios realizados a lo largo de los últimos siglos. Desde su aparición se han oido voces discrepantes, como Montesquieu, Beccaria, Boltarie y Foucault entre otros, contra este sistema represivo, de control social y de remuneración penal, habiendo sido objeto de crítica desde su implantación. No solo sobre su eficacia y efectividad como freno de la criminalidad, sino también sobre su estigma social como herramienta utilizada por unos pocos poderosos frente a la clase menos favorecida. La pregunta principal que me surge es si la prisión en la actualidad tiene los resultados deseados en su aplicación, ¿están todos los que son y son todos los que están?, otra de las preguntas que me hago es ¿con su aplicación se reducen los índices de criminalidad y de delitos?

Mescla conceptual em O Pasquim

Este estudo, de cunho cognitivista, trata do humor e da ironia multimodal em cinco capas do jornal O Pasquim. Nele, constam análises sobre a percepção da ironia e do humor presente nas capas das edições n 187, 271, 514, 654 e 668, e a discussão sobre o papel do contexto histórico, da imagem e do texto como gatilho para a formulação de mesclas. O trabalho também postula configurações de mesclas a partir dos sentidos construídos por quatro grupos distintos de colaboradores, um grupo formado por leitores jovens à época de publicação das capas, e outros três grupos de jovens universitários, tendo o primeiro grupo visualizado a imagem e depois o texto que compunha a capa, o segundo acessado primeiro o texto e depois a imagem e o último visualizado as capas completas. Para tanto, foram utilizados alguns dos principais conceitos da linguística cognitiva, a saber, frames, domínio, mesclagem e metáfora conceptual, além de estudos relativos à ironia e humor. Também é proposta uma nova configuração para mesclas irônicas, apresentando a fusão dos inputs de entrada e dos espaços de reação esperada e confrafactual, cunhados por Coulson (2005) no modelo de estruturação do espaço

Integrated conceptual ecosystem model development for the Florida Keys/Dry Tortugas coastal marine ecosystem: MARine Estuarine goal Setting (MARES) for South Florida

The overall goal of the MARine and Estuarine goal Setting (MARES) project for South Florida is “to reach a science-based consensus about the defining characteristics and fundamental regulating processes of a South Florida coastal marine ecosystem that is both sustainable and capable of providing the diverse ecosystem services upon which our society depends.” Through participation in a systematic process of reaching such a consensus, science can contribute more directly and effectively to the critical decisions being made by both policy makers and by natural resource and environmental management agencies. The document that follows briefly describes the MARES project and this systematic process. It then describes in considerable detail the resulting output from the first two steps in the process, the development of conceptual diagrams and an Integrated Conceptual Ecosystem Model (ICEM) for the first subregion to be addressed by MARES, the Florida Keys/Dry Tortugas (FK/DT). What follows with regard to the FK/DT is the input received from more than 60 scientists, agency resource managers, and representatives of environmental organizations beginning with a workshop held December 9-10, 2009 at Florida International University in Miami, Florida.

Integrated conceptual ecosystem model development for the southeast Florida coastal marine ecosystem: MARine Estuarine goal Setting (MARES) for South Florida

The overall goal of the MARES (MARine and Estuarine goal Setting) project for South Florida is “to reach a science-based consensus about the defining characteristics and fundamental regulating processes of a South Florida coastal marine ecosystem that is both sustainable and capable of providing the diverse ecosystem services upon which our society depends.” Through participation in a systematic process of reaching such a consensus, science can contribute more directly and effectively to the critical decisions being made both by policy makers and by natural resource and environmental management agencies. The document that follows briefly describes MARES overall and this systematic process. It then describes in considerable detail the resulting output from the first step in the process, the development of an Integrated Conceptual Ecosystem Model (ICEM) for the third subregion to be addressed by MARES, the Southeast Florida Coast (SEFC). What follows with regard to the SEFC relies upon the input received from more than 60 scientists, agency resource managers, and representatives of environmental organizations during workshops held throughout 2009–2012 in South Florida.

The EBM-DPSER conceptual model: integrating ecosystem services into the DPSIR framework

There is a pressing need to integrate biophysical and human dimensions science to better inform holistic ecosystem management supporting the transition from single species or single-sector management to multi-sector ecosystem-based management. Ecosystem-based management should focus upon ecosystem services, since they reflect societal goals, values, desires, and benefits. The inclusion of ecosystem services into holistic management strategies improves management by better capturing the diversity of positive and negative human-natural interactions and making explicit the benefits to society. To facilitate this inclusion, we propose a conceptual model that merges the broadly applied Driver, Pressure, State, Impact, and Response (DPSIR) conceptual model with ecosystem services yielding a Driver, Pressure, State, Ecosystem service, and Response (EBM-DPSER) conceptual model. The impact module in traditional DPSIR models focuses attention upon negative anthropomorphic impacts on the ecosystem; by replacing impacts with ecosystem services the EBM-DPSER model incorporates not only negative, but also positive changes in the ecosystem. Responses occur as a result of changes in ecosystem services and include inter alia management actions directed at proactively altering human population or individual behavior and infrastructure to meet societal goals. The EBM-DPSER conceptual model was applied to the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas marine ecosystem as a case study to illustrate how it can inform management decisions. This case study captures our system-level understanding and results in a more holistic representation of ecosystem and human society interactions, thus improving our ability to identify trade-offs. The EBM-DPSER model should be a useful operational tool for implementing EBM, in that it fully integrates our knowledge of all ecosystem components while focusing management attention upon those aspects of the ecosystem most important to human society and does so within a framework already familiar to resource managers.
