Para além do garantismo: uma proposta hermenêutica de controle da decisão penal

A presente pesquisa parte do pressuposto de que, no Brasil, não se segue uma teoria consistente da decisão penal. Tem por finalidade desenvolver argumentos para demonstrar que a epistemologia garantista de Luigi Ferrajoli apresenta problemas que a afastam do mundo prático e dificultam a construção de fundamentos para impor limites ao poder do juiz criminal. Embora se preocupe bastante com o relativismo interpretativo, propondo uma técnica de formalização da linguagem para reduzir os espaços de incerteza, a teoria do garantismo ainda admite uma margem insuprimível de discricionariedade (sempre pro reo). A proposta da tese é a superação desse modelo semântico de percepção do Direito por uma compreensão hermenêutica do fenômeno. A partir da hermenêutica filosófica (Hans Georg Gadamer) e da teoria do Direito como integridade (Ronald Dworkin), a pesquisa defende a hipótese de que o Direito não é fruto de descobertas (convencionalismo), tampouco de invenções (pragmatismo). Não está, pois, escrito em algum lugar do passado, também não é aquilo que os juízes pensam que ele é; o Direito é uma prática social interpretativa, é fruto da melhor argumentação moral possível. A partir da articulação de conceitos caros a Gadamer (tais como estrutura prévia da compreensão, fusão de horizontes, tradição, diálogo, experiência, finitude e linguagem) com a análise da integridade em Dworkin, a pesquisa – sem a pretensão de corrigir a epistemologia garantista, mas objetivando superar os entraves que uma teoria semântica do Direito pode causar – apresenta a hermenêutica como uma via privilegiada para o controle da decisão penal.

Formation of multiple pulmonary nodules during treatment with leflunomide

O comprometimento pulmonar é uma das manifestações extra-articulares da artrite reumatóide e pode ser devido à própria doença ou secundário às medicações utilizadas para seu tratamento. Este trabalho relata um caso de uma paciente de 60 anos de idade com diagnóstico de artrite reumatoide que evoluiu com múltiplos nódulos pulmonares durante o tratamento com leflunomida.

Projeto comédia popular brasileira da Fraternal Campanha de Artes e Malas-Artes (1993-2008): trajetória do ver, ouvir e imaginar

O principal objetivo do presente trabalho é registrar e compreender a trajetória do Projeto Comédia Popular Brasileira (CPB) e, consequentemente, da Fraternal Companhia de Arte e Malas-Artes por meio das personagens criadas durante 15 anos de pesquisa estética (1993-2008). São objetos de análise os projetos específicos desenvolvidos a cada fase do Projeto CPB, suas respectivas peças e espetáculos, concepções de personagens, o trabalho e formação dos atores e a relação estabelecida com o alvo principal de sua vida teatral: o público. Em sua primeira fase (1993-1997) - VER, a Fraternal cria personagens-tipo brasileiras, influenciada pelos comediógrafos Martins Pena, Artur Azevedo e Ariano Suassuna, retomando o diálogo com os tipos fixos da commedia dell´arte. Na segunda fase (1998-2001) - OUVIR, as personagens-tipo cedem o protagonismo às personagens inspiradas nas festas populares medievais, pautadas no estudo teórico de Mikhail Bakhtin. E, na terceira fase (2002-2008) - IMAGINAR, atores saltimbancos apresentam as personagens por meio da narração e da representação. Neste período, a Cia. aprofunda sua prática no jogo cênico estabelecido entre personagens, atores e narradores para a construção dramatúrgica e interpretativa de seus espetáculos, inspirada em Bertolt Brecht e Luigi Pirandello. A escolha de personagens como interlocutoras dos anseios e da história do povo brasileiro refletiu, desde o início, a específica visão de mundo e de cultura popular adotada pela Fraternal, referendada no ponto de vista contrário ao da classe dominante, o da classe dominada. Dario Fo (1999), Mikhail Bakhtin (1987), Walter Benjamin (1994) e Bertolt Brecht, pautados tanto no que concerne a uma apreensão da encenação e da interpretação cômica, quanto a seus posicionamentos críticos perante a atividade artística, foram essenciais à compreensão da trajetória da Cia.

The Buffalo Genome and the Application of Genomics in Animal Management and Improvement

The publication of the human genome sequence in 2001 was a major step forward in knowledge necessary to understand the variations between individuals. For farmed species, genomic sequence information will facilitate the selection of animals optimised to live, and be productive, in particular environments. The availability of cattle genome sequence has allowed the breeding industry to take the first steps towards predicting phenotypes from genotypes by estimating a genomic breeding value (gEBV) for bulls using genome-wide DNA markers. The sequencing of the buffalo genome and creation of a panel of DNA markers has created the opportunity to apply molecular selection approaches for this species.The genomes of several buffalo of different breeds were sequenced and aligned with the bovine genome, which facilitated the identification of millions of sequence variants in the buffalo genomes. Based on frequencies of variants within and among buffalo breeds, and their distribution across the genome compared with the bovine genome, 90,000 putative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were selected to create an Axiom (R) Buffalo Genotyping Array 90K. This SNP Chip was tested in buffalo populations from Italy and Brazil and found to have at least 75% high quality and polymorphic markers in these populations. The 90K SNP chip was then used to investigate the structure of buffalo populations, and to localise the variations having a major effect on milk production.

Uma viagem entre Tabucchi, Pessoa e Pirandello: proposta de tradução de Il signor Pirandello è desiderato al telefono, de Antonio Tabucchi

The present monography consists in a translation of the play “Il signor Pirandello è desiderato al telefono”, by the Italian writer Antonio Tabucchi. This translation is still unpublished in Brazil. The introduction emphasizes the relevance of this translation in the Brazilian literary context, due to its goal of dissemination of a piece that, besides presenting the contemporary author’s characteristics, shows the aspects of two important writers in the 20th century, Fernando Pessoa and Luigi Pirandello. The introduction also brings some biographical and bibliographical data about the involved authors. In the development section, before the translation itself, there is a selection of comments about the translated play, with the objective of contributing to the constitution of the Brazilian reader’s context. In our conclusion, there are the last comments about the translation and the importance of the monography to its writer

Estudo da produção de hidrogênio eletrolítico a partir de fontes eólica, solar e hidrelétrica

Introduces technical, economic and environmentally competitive solutions in the energy market is a great challenge for society. This work examines each of these aspects considering the production of electrolytic hydrogen with energy from wind power, solar and hydropower, in order to ensure an overview of this energy carrier. Initially, an assessment of the technical aspects is made addressing existing electrolysers technologies, its main characteristics and differences. The geographical distribution of wind, solar and hydroelectric potential in Brazil is also mapped, and a configuration scheme of a hydrogen production system is discussed. Subsequently, the economic analysis calculates the cost of investment in the alkaline electrolyser of 60 Nm³ / h, similar to the Brazilian bus powered by hydrogen project, coordinated by EMTU. Since the main input of electrolysis is electricity, is analyzed the latest energy auctions of each primary source and it is calculated the cost of production of the wind, solar and hydropower hydrogen. Postponed to this, are investigated the intrinsic environmental impacts of electricity generation process, proposing a readjustment of an indicator of ecological efficiency for the production of hydrogen. Finally, the work discusses the concept of externalities and demonstrates how the incorporation of external costs can leverage the hydrogen economy. In short, it is evident that the wind and hydroelectric hydrogens are more promising compared to solar hydrogen, whether in the economic aspect, because it achieved lower costs, whether in the environmental aspect, because it reached the highest ecological efficiency

Genotoxic effect of phenol on the cells of onion (Allium cepa ) roots

The roots of onion (Allium cepa ) stand out for having cells with large size and small number of chromosomes. These characteristics make them useful in bioassays for the measurement of a variety of cytogenetic and morphological parameters, in which they can be used as toxicity indicators of the induction and formation of micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations. Based on this background, the potential genotoxic effect of phenol concentration on cells of A. cepa roots was investigated either in terms of induced aberrations or micronuclei formation. The results demonstrated that the higher the concentration of phenol, the higher the incidence of abnormalities, thus confirming the genotoxicity of this pollutant.

Um passeio pelos bosques ficcionais de Antonio Tabucchi

The Italian writer Antonio Tabucchi (Pisa-1943, Lisbon-2012) is considered by the critic as one of the most representative voices in the contemporary European literature. The Literature, according to Tabucchi, exerts a fundamental role in society and it, still according to the writer, must cause disquietude, evoke doubts, raise questions and not tranquilize people’s mind. Thereby, it’s noticed that it’s one of the reasons why the tabucchian narrative incessantly dialogues with Luigi Pirandello’s and Fernando Pessoa's poetics, establishing a great fictional game in wich the people, the truths, the history and the world are shown, at the least, duplicated.

Biomass burning fuel consumption rates: a field measurement database

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the fraction of the biomass that is actually combusted, and can be combined with estimates of area burned to assess emissions. While burned area can be detected from space and estimates are becoming more reliable due to improved algorithms and sensors, FC is usually modeled or taken selectively from the literature. We compiled the peerreviewed literature on FC for various biomes and fuel categories to understand FC and its variability better, and to provide a database that can be used to constrain biogeochemical models with fire modules. We compiled in total 77 studies covering 11 biomes including savanna (15 studies, average FC of 4.6 t DM (dry matter) ha 1 with a standard deviation of 2.2), tropical forest (n = 19, FC = 126 +/- 77), temperate forest (n = 12, FC = 58 +/- 72), boreal forest (n = 16, FC = 35 +/- 24), pasture (n = 4, FC = 28 +/- 9.3), shifting cultivation (n = 2, FC = 23, with a range of 4.0-43), crop residue (n = 4, FC = 6.5 +/- 9.0), chaparral (n = 3, FC = 27 +/- 19), tropical peatland (n = 4, FC = 314 +/- 196), boreal peatland (n = 2, FC = 42 [42-43]), and tundra (n = 1, FC = 40). Within biomes the regional variability in the number of measurements was sometimes large, with e. g. only three measurement locations in boreal Russia and 35 sites in North America. Substantial regional differences in FC were found within the defined biomes: for example, FC of temperate pine forests in the USA was 37% lower than Australian forests dominated by eucalypt trees. Besides showing the differences between biomes, FC estimates were also grouped into different fuel classes. Our results highlight the large variability in FC, not only between biomes but also within biomes and fuel classes. This implies that substantial uncertainties are associated with using biome-averaged values to represent FC for whole biomes. Comparing the compiled FC values with co-located Global Fire Emissions Database version 3 (GFED3) FC indicates that modeling studies that aim to represent variability in FC also within biomes, still require improvements as they have difficulty in representing the dynamics governing FC.
