O agravo de petição como provimento recursal adequado para impugnar sentenças, decisões interlocutórias e despachos-decisórios na execução trabalhista

A idéia central nasceu em função da atividade profissional. Assistindo no dia-a-dia a dificuldade daqueles que, inconformados com um ato praticado na fase de execução de um processo do trabalho, não encontram, com a segurança desejada, um provimento judicial adequado para submeter a apreciação de tal ato a uma decisão colegiada. Cabe agravo de petição, no prazo de 8 (oito) dias, das decisões do Juiz ou Presidente, nas execuções. Isso é o que consta da legislação específica. Problema dos mais sérios na interpretação desse comando é saber o que são “decisões” proferidas na execução trabalhista, que podem ser impugnadas por meio do recurso de agravo de petição. Essa problemática encontra-se inserida dentro de um contexto processual, daí porque tivemos que seguir um roteiro iniciando com noções básicas de processo, como instrumento utilizado pelo Estado para o exercício de sua função jurisdicional. Saindo do geral para o particular, chegamos no processo do trabalho e suas fases, nos atendo mais na de execução, como ela inicia e termina. O cerne da questão é a reação à execução, os meios reagentes, em especial o recurso, como uma decorrência do princípio do duplo grau de jurisdição, sendo ou não uma garantia constitucional. De acordo com a previsão legal, esse recurso é o agravo de petição. Tratamos dele e dos atos que o juiz pode praticar na execução trabalhista, dizendo da natureza de cada um deles. Cuidamos das decisões interlocutórias, registrando nossa preocupação quanto à dificuldade que temos para sua identificação, mormente na fase de execução. Abordamos, na parte final do trabalho, a matéria relacionada com a possibilidade ou não de recurso contra uma decisão interlocutória, ilustrando esse estudo com alguns exemplos baseados em casos concretos e a solução que foi dada a cada um deles.

Seroepidemiological analysis of toxoplasmosis in college students

Background Toxoplasmosis is a zoonosis caused by an obligate intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, which affects warm-blooded animals including humans. Its prevalence rates usually vary in different regions of the planet. Methods In this study, an analysis of the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among Brazilian students was proposed by means of IgG specific antibodies detection. The presence of anti-Toxoplasma gondiiantibodies by indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) was also evaluated in order to compare it with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to assess the use of 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride chromogens. Results The IFAT method showed a seroprevalence of 22.3%. These results were similar to those obtained by ELISA (24.1%). The seroprevalence was directly estimated from the IgG avidity, which showed that in a sample of 112 students, three of them had acute infection, an incidence of 1.6% in the studied population. Conclusion In this study, the use of different chromogenic substrates in immunoenzymatic ELISA assays did not display different sensitivity in the detection of T. gondii-reagent serum. The extrapolation of results to this population must be carefully considered, since the investigation was conducted on a reduced sample. However, it allows us to emphasize the importance of careful and well prepared studies to identify risk factors for toxoplasmosis, to adopt preventive measures and to offer guidance to at-risk populations about the disease.

The College of Arts and Sciences proudly presents the eighth issue of the Book of Abstracts, which highlights the work conducted by students in collaboration with faculty mentors. This collection of abstracts represents many hours of scholarly activity in which students further developed their research, critical thinking, and writing skills and engaged in learning well beyond the classroom.

Undergraduate Scholarship in the College of Arts and Sciences 2011 Book of Abstracts

The College of Arts and Sciences proudly presents Undergraduate Scholarship in the College of Arts and Sciences Book of Abstracts, our ninth annual issue documenting the work conducted by students in collaboration with their faculty mentors. As you will see by the depth and variety of the projects, these students successfully used their research, critical thinking, and writing skills to produce scholarship that has been recognized by the larger scholarly community.

Undergraduate Scholarship in the College of Arts and Sciences 2008 Book of Abstracts

The College of Arts and Sciences proudly presents Undergraduate Scholarship in the College of Arts and Sciences, our sixth Book of Abstracts that features the scholarship conducted in the college by our students in collaboration with faculty mentors. In the above quote, Ralph Waldo Emerson goes on to say the following: “The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself.” Indeed, the high level of scholarship reflected in this book is a testament to the students’ development as scholars and the effective mentorship provided by the Winthrop faculty as they share in the practice of their disciplines.

Undergraduate Scholarship in the College of Arts and Sciences Book of Abstracts 2009 Book of Abstracts

The College of Arts and Sciences proudly presents the seventh Book of Abstracts, highlighting the undergraduate scholarship conducted by students in collaboration with faculty mentors. This collection of abstracts represents many hours of scholarly activity in which students further developed their research, critical thinking, and writing skills and engaged in learning well beyond the classroom. We congratulate the students and their faculty mentors for the quality of their work and their willingness to share it with the academic community through publications in refereed journals and presentations at regional, national, and international meetings. We also thank Evan Adams for editing the abstracts and Chris Richter, a visual communication design major, for designing the cover and producing the book.
