A hipertrofia do presente no direito da era da globalização

Este estudo procura refletir sobre o novo quadro que se abriu ao direito com a desestruturação do projeto da modernidade societária. Tendo atingido o seu ponto mais elevado entre a Segunda guerra mundial e a queda do muro de Berlim, este projeto, realizado no quadro do Estado-nação, vinculou o indivíduo (societário) a uma rede de instituições e procurou determiná-lo, juridicamente, a partir de uma elaborada pirâmide normativa amiga da previsibilidade, da segurança e do futuro. O mundo das autonomias, da profusão estatutária, dos particularismos, de um complexo mosaico de fontes em concorrência, aquele mundo medieval ligado a um passado imemorial, a um tempo fechado sobre si próprio, é agora superado por um modelo social e jurídico de pendor monolítico, em que o presente, já liberto da vis atrativa do passado, vinculado aos valores da calculabilidade e da utilidade, se projeta no futuro. Pois bem, o fenómeno da globalização e a progressiva construção de uma sociedade e de um mercado globais não deixam de pôr em causa aquele projeto da edificação de uma sociedade integral dentro do território de cada Estado-nação. Hoje, as fronteiras, as estruturas fixas e a própria tradição, tudo é sacrificado no altar da instantaneidade, tudo se reduz ao “êxtase do presente”. Ora, como é cada vez mais evidente, esta “presença hipertrófica do presente” não é amiga da lei. Outras fontes do direito como os direitos do homem, a jurisprudência, a lex mercatória e o contrato parecem ser mais adequadas. Daí que se fale já de uma legalidade branda, de direito «flexível», de direito «líquido», de direito «solúvel», etc.

Hermenéutica de los altares domésticos en Quito

La “hermenéutica de los altares domésticos en Quito”, propone una lectura política de sentido e interpretación en la relación psicoanálisis comunicación en el momento en que los grandes símbolos están en retirada. En comunicación los altares son una interpretación simbólica-reflexiva de la cotidianidad, en el psicoanálisis son catexis, sin pretensiones universales; necesarios para unos, de malestar sobrante para otros, en los dos casos ponen en discusión a la sociedad y a Dios. Los altares son artefactos de posibilidades interpretativas que aseguran la existencia de los creyentes católicos en la mixtura de los manes y los santos, son lugares en donde el poder divino es apropiado por el poder del sentido cotidiano, o si se quiere, lo divino habita en un rincón de la casa bajo la vigilancia de los deseos y búsquedas humanas. Las imágenes del altar no son tanto arte como vida, comunican sentimientos del ser, estar y la nada, conectan perseverancia y memoria para trascender la amnesia de los límites, los imaginarios; en el que cada uno se reconoce sin necesidad de cursos y talleres de autoestima. Se estudió el valor contemplativo del koinos (comunión) como síntoma y metáfora entre psicoanálisis y comunicación, la otra mixtura: deseo y transgresión en los altares en la ciudad de Quito, en el año 2003. La entrada fenomenológica permite que la cotidianidad se muestre “haciéndose”, no se pierde el valor pragmático del pasado, nada es irrelevante; todo está construyéndose, es un psicoanálisis que busca arreglar el pasado porque nada esta hecho para mañana. La sospecha, el filicidio, la transmutación del sufrimiento al dolor, el recuerdo del material visual que construyen la luz y la memoria, la configuración simbólica-reflexiva de la madre devenida en memoria, las metáforas temporales y las estéticas del pasado, la violencia simbólica de los fundamentalismos y los objetos, hacen el altar y la vida altarera.

Estilo de vida individual de universitários jovens com excesso de peso da Universidade Católica de Murcia-Espanha

Individual lifestyle includes health and risk behaviors that can altar health status. Excess weight is a public health problem of modern civilization and there is an estimated mean prevalence of 45% in European countries. In Spain, the Murcia Region is an area of high morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disorders. In this study we assess the differences in health and risk behaviors in ove/weight and normal weight undergraduates at the Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM). Methods: Transversal design of parallel groups (overweight - cases and normal weight - control) , formed using the anthropometric technique. A questionnaire applied to a sample of 471 undergraduates of either sex, between the ages of 18 and 29 years, enrolled in 4 bachelor degree courses (ADE, CA, PER, PUB) at UCAM. We performed a standardized measurement of body mass (weight in kg), height (in meters) using a Seca® scale with calibrated stadiometer, waist and hip circumferences (in cm) with an inelastic tape and skinfolds thickness (triceps and subscapular in mm) with a Holtain® caliper, to calculate body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and the sum of skinfolds (SSF). We applied a lifestyle questionnaire about alcohol and tobacco consumption, knowledge and behaviors related to health indicators (arterial pressure and cholesterol), diet and physical activity. The information was collected in April and May, 2001 at the UCAM laboratory of Applied Nutrition. Statistical analysis: analysis of independent groups, contingency tables that reveal which qualitativa variables show differences and associations between the groups, Pearson's chi-square,and a significance levei of p < 0.05 followed by a residual analysis (1.96). Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used to establish the two groups: case and contrai with 65 men and 26 women each who had BMI < 25 kg/m2. Results: A total of 65 of the men assessed (14%) and 26 (6%) of the women were overweight. Mean body mass index of the case group was 27. 78 ±: 2.83 kg/m2 in the men and 26.26 ± 1.37 kg/m2 in the women, while contrai group men had mean BMI of 22.36 ± 1.72 kg/m2, while for the women it was 20.76 ±: 2.13 kg/m2. The self-declared values of weight and height were underestimated, but with high accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. Thus, these can be used to calculate the BMI of overweight Spanish undergraduates. Regular vigorous physical activity was observed only in normal weight men. The analysis showed the following significant differences for the qualitativa variables of the two groups. The contrai group was interested in arterial hypertension, believed that they were not overweight, that they had no abdominal fat, and had not considered controlling 'fatty food consumption. Those who thought of controlling it sometimes, did so without professional help. However, part of the overweight group believed that they were overweight and had abdominal fat between average and considerable, had often or always considered controlling fatty foods and had often or always tried to control consumption with the help of professionals. They had always thought of engaging in physical activities, unlike the normal weight individuals. Nearly all (95%) of the overweight undergraduates and most (75%) of the normal weight group reported that they sometimes or always controlled fatty food ingestion. Mean physical activity was nearly twice as high in the summer than in the winter. Conclusions: The overweight undergraduates in this sample displayed a lifestyle with a greater number of healthy behaviors when compared to normal weight individuals

Der gesunde Sinn der Arbeiter oder: Eine Stimme aus den Rehbergen: Am 29sten Mai 1848 waren auf dem Dönhofsplatze eine Menge Arbeiter versammelt ...

Welsch (Projektbearbeiter): Propagierung einer Methode zur Überwindung der herrschenden Arbeitslosigkeit und Finanznot (in der Form einer Unterhaltung zwischen einem Bürger und einem Arbeiter): Arbeiter und Bürger sind aufeinander angewiesen und sollten sich nicht gegeneinander kehren. Vonnöten ist zuallererst Vertrauen zwischen Bürgern und Arbeitern und sodann die Abtragung der Schulden. Die Verschuldung der Regierung in Staatspapieren ist von Übel, denn sie verhindert, daß brachliegendes Kapital wieder in den Wirtschaftskreislauf gelangt; die Folge ist Arbeitslosigkeit. Der Ausweg liegt in der Abkehr von der Schuldenwirtschaft (Entwertung der Staatspapiere) sowie in privaten Spenden seitens des Königs und der vermögenden Teile der Bevölkerung "Gold und Silber [a]uf den Altar des Vaterlands". So wird dreierlei bewirkt: Wiederherstellung des Vertrauens in König, Staat und Wirtschaft, Schuldentilgung sowie die Wiederingangsetzung des Geldkreislaufs, welche wiederum die Einstellung von Arbeitern ermöglicht

Eocene-Oligocene diatoms in the western Indian Ocean

The occurrence of diatom species in the Eocene-Oligocene sections of Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 115 sites and Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Sites 219 and 236 in the low-latitude Indian Ocean are investigated. Diatoms are generally rare and poorly preserved in the Paleogene sequences we studied. The best-preserved assemblages are found close to ash layers in early Oligocene sediments. The low-latitude diatom zonation established for the Atlantic region by Fenner in 1984 is fully applicable to the Paleogene sequences of the western Indian Ocean. Correlation of the diatom zones to the calcareous nannofossil stratigraphy of the sites places the Coscinodiscus excavatus Zone of Fenner within calcareous nannofossil Subzone CP16b. For the Mascarene Plateau and the Chagos Ridge, the times when the sites studied, together with the areas upslope from them, subsided to below the euphotic zone are deduced from changes in the relative abundance between the group of benthic, shallow-water species and Grammatophora spp. vs. the group of fully planktonic diatom species. The Eocene section of Site 707, on the Mascarene Plateau, is characterized by the occurrence of benthic diatoms (approximately 10% of the diatom assemblage). These allochthonous diatoms must have originated from shallow-water environments around volcanic islands that existed upslope from ODP Site 707 in Eocene times. In Oligocene and younger sediments of Sites 707 and 706, occurrences of benthic diatoms are rare and sporadic and interpreted as reworked from older sediments. This indicates that the area upslope from these two Mascarene Plateau sites had subsided below the euphotic zone by the early Oligocene. Only Grammatophora spp., for which a neritic but not benthic habitat is assumed, continues to be abundant throughout the Oligocene sequences. The area of the Madingley Rise sites (Sites 709-710) and nearby shallower areas subsided below the euphotic zone already in middle Eocene times, as benthic diatoms are almost absent from these Eocene sections. Only sites located on abyssal plains, and which intermittently received turbidite sediments (e.g., Sites 708 and 711), contain occasionally single, benthic diatoms of Oligocene age. The occurrence of the freshwater diatom Aulacosira granulata in a few samples of late early Oligocene and late Oligocene age at Sites 707, 709, and 714 is interpreted as windblown. Their presence indicates at least seasonally arid conditions for these periods in the source areas of eastern Africa and India. Three new species and two new combinations are defined: Chaetoceros asymmetricus Fenner sp. nov.; Hemiaulus gracilis Fenner, sp. nov.; Kozloviella meniscosa Fenner, sp. nov.; Cestodiscus demergitus (Fenner) Fenner comb, nov.; and Rocella princeps (Jouse) Fenner comb. nov.
