Who owns the child in hospital? A preliminary discussion

Aim. To 'own' a person is considered an infringement of human rights, but we suggest that concepts of ownership influence interactions between parents and staff when a child is admitted to hospital. This paper aims to stimulate debate and contains an explanation of the exploration of the literature for research and discussion of ownership of the child. Method. A wide variety of library indexes, databases and populist media were examined although it was impossible to examine all literature which may have contained references to this topic, and, apart from databases which contained abstracts in English, we could not include literature written in any language other than English, Swedish, and Icelandic. Findings. We found no research that examines how concepts of ownership of a child affects communication between health professionals and parents and, ultimately, the delivery of health care. This paper begins discussion on the issues. Discussion. Historical literature shows that ownership of humans has been a part of many cultures, and parents were once considered to own their children. Ownership of another has legal connotations, for instance in guardianship struggles of children during marriage breakup and in ethical debates over surrogacy and products of assisted conception. Within health care, it becomes a contentious issue in transplantation of body parts, in discourse on autonomy and informed consent, and for religious groups who refuse blood transfusions. In health care, models such as family centred care and partnership in care depend on positive communication between parents and staff. If a hospital staff member feels that he/she owns a child for whom he/she is caring, then conflict between the staff member and the parents over who has the 'best interests of the child' at heart is possible. Conclusion. We encourage debate about concepts of who owns the hospitalized child - the parents or the staff? Should it be argued at all? Is the whole concept of ownership of another, be it adult or child, the ethical antithesis to modern beliefs about human rights? Comment on this issue is invited.

Plano de desenvolvimento sustentável e articulação de políticas públicas: o controle de políticas ambientais pelo poder judiciário

The right to the preservation of a healthy environment is perceived as a Fundamental Right, inserted in the National Constitution and referring to present and future generations. The preservation of the environment is directly connected to the right to Health and Human Dignity and, therefore, must be treated as a personal right, unavailable, claiming for a positive response from the Brazilian State, through the development of related public policies, control of potentially harmful economic activities, with special focus on the principles of precaution and solidarity. The Brazilian judiciary must thus be attentive to the guardianship of the Fundamental Right. The judiciary control over the execution of public policies is based on obeying the principle of the separation, independence and harmony between the Powers, however it should never deviate from the constitutional obligation of caring for the effectivation of the rights and guarantees within the Magna Carta. In the balance between the principle of human dignity, from which springs the right to a healthy environment and the principle of separation of powers, the former should prevail, maintaining the latter to a core minimum.

A Guarda Nacional Republicana face ao paradoxo : Eclosão e dissolução de Gendarmeries

À semelhança do que acontece noutros países, é essencial analisar o sistema dual de polícia que se encontra em vigor em Portugal. Existem países cujas reformas têm implicado a criação e desenvolvimento de forças tipo Gendarmerie, e outros países em que se tem assistido à sua extinção. Assim, o presente Trabalho de Investigação Aplicada visa compreender a importância da GNR como força Gendarmerie e, tendo em consideração as alterações que se têm vindo a verificar ao nível das forças deste tipo, quais as linhas força de reconfiguração para a GNR. A investigação inicia-se com o estudo da génese das forças de Gendarmerie e são analisados casos de evolução e dissolução deste tipo de forças, nomeadamente: França, Espanha, Itália, Bélgica e Áustria. São identificadas as potencialidades e vulnerabilidades destas forças e os seus fatores de evolução e dissolução. A Guarda Nacional Republicana é abordada enquanto força de segurança de natureza militar, ao nível da sua tutela, das suas missões, da sua organização e da própria condição militar. A metodologia adotada no trabalho segue o método hipotético-dedutivo. Neste sentido, estabelecem-se questões derivadas com o intuito de responder ao objetivo do estudo (questão central) e para cada uma delas é formulada uma hipótese de investigação. Como forma de recolha de dados, realiza-se uma entrevista a oito elementos da área da segurança interna. De acordo com os dados obtidos, as hipóteses de investigação são verificadas e responde-se às questões derivadas. Consequentemente, dá-se resposta à questão central. Conclui-se que a GNR face aos fatores de dissolução de Gendarmeries deve evitar as suas fraquezas e, eventuais ameaças, devendo potenciar algumas das suas valências e tirar partido dos seus pontos fortes.
