Demandas homoeróticas e adoção em Belém

Esta pesquisa tem como o objeto de estudo o exame do tratamento dados pelos profissionais da área jurídica da Vara da Infância e da Juventude de Belém à adoção de crianças e adolescentes nesta cidade por demandantes homoeróticos. A hipótese que motivou a pesquisa era de que, Belém, como outras cidades no Brasil e fora dele, pessoas com orientação sexual homoerótica buscavam realizar a paternagem e a maternagem independente da procriação, acionando o Estado na legalização do desejo. A metodologia utilizada contemplou consulta documental da Vara, especificamente os processos de inscrição de adoção e a realização de entrevista com cinco técnicos de especialidades diferentes. Os resultados do estudo confirmam a existência de uma demanda reprimida, na medida em que, a intenção dos requerentes encontra bloqueio na legislação, que ainda não se posicionou sobre a realidade caracterizada pela emergência de novas relações familiares.

Uma análise empírica sobre o processo de recuperação econômica pela via judicial adotado pelas sociedades empresárias: a experiência no Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Rio de Janeiro

Este estudo objetiva analisar os processos de recuperação judicial iniciados, desde a vigência da Lei de Recuperação de Empresas (fevereiro de 2005) até 31/06/2011 nas varas empresarias da comarca da capital do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Além da aferição do tempo médio de cada uma das etapas previstas na Lei de Recuperação de Empresas (deferimento do processamento da recuperação judicial, concessão da recuperação judicial e encerramento do processo após cumprimento de todas as obrigações previstas no plano que se vencerem até dois anos depois da concessão da recuperação judicial), busco também verificar se, de fato, alguma sociedade requerente conseguiu se recuperar. Para tanto, considerarei recuperada a sociedade que, após o encerramento do processo, estiver cumprindo plenamente o seu plano de recuperação, sem que tenha havido qualquer requerimento posterior de falência. Considerando que a Lei de Recuperação de Empresas já está no seu sétimo ano de vigência, bem como o fato de o legislador ter idealizado o processo para que dure no máximo 3 anos, entendo não haver óbices à adoção do conceito supra, tendo em vista que já haver tempo suficiente para o início e encerramento desse tipo de processo. Diante disso, o presente estudo observou que o tempo médio para cumprimento das etapas ultrapassa o limite do razoável, bem como que nenhuma sociedade conseguiu se recuperar até o desfecho da pesquisa, havendo casos, inclusive, de convolação da recuperação judicial em falência.

Motivações para adoção: uma perspectiva da Psicologia Evolucionista

Parental investment increases the offspring s survival, though it decreases the opportunities for the parents to invest in a future progeny. In a broad sense, this investment is directed to one s own descendant, but in some cases, such as in adoption, resources are directed to non-relatives even in the absence of fitness benefits. Once there are many factors involved in adoption, this study investigated adopters candidates, aiming to analyze aspects considered by them for adopting, based on the Evolutionary Psychology s perspective. We analyzed the judicial proceedings´ files people who had been inlisted for adoption at the 2ª Childhood and Adolescence Law Court, Natal-RN. The adopter s motivations were classified into biological or social reasons. A relationship between adopters´ age and kind of motivation was found: requirements of young people were related to biological reasons while requirements of the old ones were related to social reasons. Fertility, mainly female requirer´s fertility, underlie this relationship, considering that women fertility is strongly influenced by age. The reasons to adopt were also related to the age of the desired child, once that people who wanted children older than 25 months alleged social reasons while those that wanted younger babies alleged biological reasons. There are lots of motives to adopt a child, but the phenomenon of adoption is broadly acknowledged by society as an act of love and the adoptive parents are often regarded as kind and generous people. It was observed, instead, that the reasons to adopt comes from the adopters themselves, related to the fulfillment of personal needs, such as increasing the family, carrying out mother/father role or having a company or someone to care form them in elderly age

Histórias de adoção tardia: considerações a partir da analítica existencial heideggeriana

Adoption establishes a filiation status, resulting from a legal act, which attributes to the child and parents the rights and obligations associated with such condition, being legally irrevocable. Nevertheless, in practice there are adoptions that do not concretize and the child returns to justice during or even after the legal process is closed. Late adoption is the denomination of the adoption of children over two years and it is still permeated by myths and stigmas, leading to a frequent return of the child to justice in these cases. The late adoption involves a process of building a unique relationship with a child whose backstory is commonly marked by the dissolution of the relationship with the family of origin, due to violation of rights and, in some cases, the experience of institutional care. Given such a scenario, this research, based on the Existential Analytic proposed by Martin Heidegger, seeks to understand the experience of mothers and children in the process of late adoption, in order to obtain subsidies to psychological attention in this context. This is a qualitative, phenomenological study with a comprehensive focus. The participants were two mothers and two children who have gone through late adoption for about two years. The procedures of data generation contemplated narrative interviews with mothers and individual meetings with children, in which ludic resources were used as mediators of expression (free drawings, unfinished children's story and "Story-Drawings" on late adoption). The procedures were audiotaped and transcribed. Data analysis was grounded in Heidegger's hermeneutics. The late adoption process, permeated by historical, social and cultural determinants and the web of meanings that create the historical singularity of each person involved have proved to be complex as seen in the narratives. The construction of the meanings of parenthood and filiation has been developing in the families in the study, from the experience of being-with-the-other, caring and dwelling in their peculiar modes of expression. The family of origin and the adoptive family mingle and differentiate by means of the experience of children, especially because of the existence of biological siblings. Data point to the importance of psychological care to family core in late adoption processes

Controle judicial da política de assistência farmacêutica: direito, ciência e técnica

Para identificar mecanismos de compatibilização entre a lei e as normas técnicas, foram considerados o conceito de saúde e as características do Estado Democrático de Direito. Tomando-se o exemplo brasileiro das normas da política de assistência farmacêutica, concluiu-se que racionalidade jurídica impõe verificar se sua elaboração obedeceu ao requisito constitucional que exige a "participação da comunidade", instaurando um controle democrático e judicial.

Um enfoque sanitário sobre a demanda judicial de medicamentos

No Brasil, apesar dos avanços da assistência farmacêutica, permanecem falhas na garantia do acesso dos cidadãos aos medicamentos pelo Estado. Nos últimos anos, vem crescendo a reivindicação de medicamentos por parte do cidadão via sistema judiciário. Os objetos dessas solicitações são tanto os medicamentos em falta na rede pública como aqueles ainda não incorporados pelo Sistema Único de Saúde. Este fenômeno pode ser analisado sob diferentes perspectivas, inclusive a sanitária, entendida aqui como os desfechos sobre a saúde dos indivíduos que demandam estes medicamentos. O presente texto busca discutir as principais características das demandas judiciais frente aos seguintes aspectos: o uso racional de medicamentos, o uso de evidências científicas para a indicação terapêutica proposta e o quanto as demandas se justificam diante do conceito de acesso adotado pelo campo da assistência farmacêutica. Ponderações podem ser feitas no sentido de minimizar os riscos à saúde dos demandantes de medicamentos por via judicial, sobretudo quando o objeto da ação são medicamentos não pertencentes às listas de fornecimento público, ou com uso off label, ou desprovidos de registro no país. Considera-se que o Judiciário, a partir do fornecimento de medicamentos, busca garantir a saúde dos demandantes, e assim a dignidade da pessoa humana. Cabe ressaltar que este objetivo só será atingido quando a garantia da saúde estiver associada aos aspectos que certificam a segurança do paciente, inclusive no uso de medicamentos.

Doing Courts Justice? Studying Judicial Politics in Latin America
