Nova técnica de julgamento de casos repetitivos à luz do novo Código de Processo Civil: o incidente de resolução de demandas repetitivas

A presente Tese analisa o incidente de resolução de demandas repetitivas. Trata-se de uma nova técnica de julgamento dos denominados processos de massa, instituída pelo Novo Código de Processo Civil. Inicialmente, procurou-se demonstrar o caminho trilhado pelo legislador brasileiro, por meio de sucessivas reformas ao Código de Processo Civil, no sentido de valorizar e tornar estável os precedentes dos Tribunais, em especial das Cortes de Superposição, chegando-se ao ápice de modificar, inclusive, a Constituição do Brasil, para esse fim. Também foi destacada a importância da uniformização de jurisprudência, que de certa maneira precedeu o novel instituto. Na sequência, apontou-se alguns aspectos relevantes, de ordem processual, do incidente, bem como os seus pressupostos de cabimento. Avaliou-se, ainda, um dos mais importantes efeitos que decorrem da admissibilidade do incidente de resolução de demandas repetitivas, no sentido de suspender os demais processos que veiculem idêntica tese jurídica e, também, como se defendeu ao longo do estudo, que guardem similitude de ordem fática. Ademais, especificou-se o procedimento de julgamento, fulcrado, principalmente, em uma notável ampliação do contraditório, que dá margem, inclusive, a que o acórdão prolatado nessa sede possa ser impugnado, via recurso especial e/ou extraordinário. Por fim, encerra-se com a análise do precedente resultante do incidente de resolução de demandas repetitivas. Explicita-se os seus efeitos, inclusive com a possibilidade de aplicação para o futuro, tendo em vista a objetivação do julgamento, voltado à definição de uma tese jurídica. No entanto, e aqui está a Tese defendida, a questão jurídica, ainda que julgada de modo abstrato, justamente para produzir efeitos mais amplos (aqui denominados expansivos), deve estar necessariamente atrelada às questões de fato que a envolvem.

Work-related health problems among resident immigrant workers in Italy and Spain

Background: in both Spain and Italy the number of immigrants has strongly increased in the last 20 years, currently representing more than the 10% of workforce in each country. The segregation of immigrants into unskilled or risky jobs brings negative consequences for their health. The objective of this study is to compare prevalence of work-related health problems between immigrants and native workers in Italy and Spain. Methods: data come from the Italian Labour Force Survey (n=65 779) and Spanish Working Conditions Survey (n=11 019), both conducted in 2007. We analyzed merged datasets to evaluate whether interviewees, both natives and migrants, judge their health being affected by their work conditions and, if so, which specific diseases. For migrants, we considered those coming from countries with a value of the Human Development Index lower than 0.85. Logistic regression models were used, including gender, age, and education as adjusting factors. Results: migrants reported skin diseases (Mantel-Haenszel pooled OR=1.49; 95%CI: 0.59-3.74) and musculoskeletal problems among those employed in agricultural sector (Mantel-Haenszel pooled OR=1.16; 95%CI: 0.69-1.96) more frequently than natives; country-specific analysis showed higher risks of musculoskeletal problems among migrants compared to the non-migrant population in Italy (OR=1.17; 95% CI: 0.48-1.59) and of respiratory problems in Spain (OR=2.02; 95%CI: 1.02-4.0). In both countries the risk of psychological stress was predominant among national workers. Conclusions: this collaborative study allows to strength the evidence concerning the health of migrant workers in Southern European countries.

Intérprete y portavoz: la figura del diputado en las elecciones de 1854 en España

Las elecciones de 1854 en España se desarrollaron en un contexto político que favoreció la participación en el marco del sufragio censitario. Un número significativo de candidatos publicaron manifiestos en la prensa, a través de los cuales es posible delinear varios rasgos de los modelos representativos existentes en la cultura política de la época. El análisis de los manifiestos constituye el núcleo central de este texto, donde apuntamos los elementos que conforman la figura del diputado a Cortes.

A new low magnetic field magnetar: the 2011 outburst of Swift J1822.3–1606

We report on the long-term X-ray monitoring with Swift, RXTE, Suzaku, Chandra, and XMM-Newton of the outburst of the newly discovered magnetar Swift J1822.3–1606 (SGR 1822–1606), from the first observations soon after the detection of the short X-ray bursts which led to its discovery, through the first stages of its outburst decay (covering the time span from 2011 July until the end of 2012 April). We also report on archival ROSAT observations which detected the source during its likely quiescent state, and on upper limits on Swift J1822.3–1606's radio-pulsed and optical emission during outburst, with the Green Bank Telescope and the Gran Telescopio Canarias, respectively. Our X-ray timing analysis finds the source rotating with a period of P = 8.43772016(2) s and a period derivative P = 8.3(2)×10−14 s s−1, which implies an inferred dipolar surface magnetic field of B sime 2.7 × 1013 G at the equator. This measurement makes Swift J1822.3–1606 the second lowest magnetic field magnetar (after SGR 0418+5729). Following the flux and spectral evolution from the beginning of the outburst, we find that the flux decreased by about an order of magnitude, with a subtle softening of the spectrum, both typical of the outburst decay of magnetars. By modeling the secular thermal evolution of Swift J1822.3–1606, we find that the observed timing properties of the source, as well as its quiescent X-ray luminosity, can be reproduced if it was born with a poloidal and crustal toroidal fields of Bp ~ 1.5 × 1014 G and B tor ~ 7 × 1014 G, respectively, and if its current age is ~550 kyr.

Simulation of the secondary electrons energy deposition produced by proton beams in PMMA: influence of the target electronic excitation description

We have studied the radial dependence of the energy deposition of the secondary electron generated by swift proton beams incident with energies T = 50 keV–5 MeV on poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA). Two different approaches have been used to model the electronic excitation spectrum of PMMA through its energy loss function (ELF), namely the extended-Drude ELF and the Mermin ELF. The singly differential cross section and the total cross section for ionization, as well as the average energy of the generated secondary electrons, show sizeable differences at T ⩽ 0.1 MeV when evaluated with these two ELF models. In order to know the radial distribution around the proton track of the energy deposited by the cascade of secondary electrons, a simulation has been performed that follows the motion of the electrons through the target taking into account both the inelastic interactions (via electronic ionizations and excitations as well as electron-phonon and electron trapping by polaron creation) and the elastic interactions. The radial distribution of the energy deposited by the secondary electrons around the proton track shows notable differences between the simulations performed with the extended-Drude ELF or the Mermin ELF, being the former more spread out (and, therefore, less peaked) than the latter. The highest intensity and sharpness of the deposited energy distributions takes place for proton beams incident with T ~ 0.1–1 MeV. We have also studied the influence in the radial distribution of deposited energy of using a full energy distribution of secondary electrons generated by proton impact or using a single value (namely, the average value of the distribution); our results show that differences between both simulations become important for proton energies larger than ~0.1 MeV. The results presented in this work have potential applications in materials science, as well as hadron therapy (due to the use of PMMA as a tissue phantom) in order to properly consider the generation of electrons by proton beams and their subsequent transport and energy deposition through the target in nanometric scales.

Influences islamiques dans la théologie chrétienne médiévale: l'adoptianisme espagnol (VIIIème siècle)

Aux origines de l'adoptianisme espagnol, selon l'A., il y a des doctrines islamiques «occultées» par des doctrines chrétiennes antérieures ou des erreurs judaïques parallèles. Il en souligne d'abord les éléments islamiques dus aux relations entre chrétiens et musulmans à Cordoue, à la doctrine islamisante de Migetius, à la culture profane d'Elipand de Tolède et aux efforts catéchétiques de Félix d'Urgel auprès des juifs et des musulmans: tout est réductible aux exigences de compromis de la polémique islamo--chrétienne où on incline à réduire l'importance de la divinité du Christ. Les erreurs musulmanes sont, par suite, condamnées comme étant judaïques et le recours à d'antiques doctrines chrétiennes légitime les thèses de l'adoptianisme, non sans subir des influences ariennes, sabelliennes et nestoriennes: le contexte socio-politique exigeait une telle «occultation» et favorisait de telles déviations.
