Os limites da arbitrariedade do magistrado nas medidas atípicas de execução civil e os direitos da personalidade
Authors: Soares Marcelo Negri , Centurião Luís Fernando , Baldin Cristiano Rebelo
Published: January 2024

Em 2017, o Poder Judiciário contava com um acervo de 80,1 milhões de processos pendentes de baixa, sendo que mais da metade desses (53%) referia-se à fase de execução. Assim, a nova sistemática processual civil, em vigor desde 2015, com o propósito de evitar o insucesso da satisfação dos créditos pendentes no judiciário, trouxe a inserção de meios alternativos ao credor para a garantia da quantia devida na fase de execução, restaurando a lesão sofrida com uma sanção proporcionalmente correspondente. Essas novas formas buscam coibir o devedor da realização de manobras para esquivar-se ao pagamento de seus débitos, como, por exemplo, dilapidando o patrimônio ou acobertando-o em nome de terceiros. Considerando a determinação esculpida no artigo 139, IV, do Código de Processo Civil, tem-se que o julgador pode, ao verificar que o devedor está se eximindo de sua obrigação intencionalmente, determinar medidas coercitivas indiretas a fim de que realize o pagamento da dívida. Tais medidas podem ser, à luz de referido artigo, indutivas, coercitivas, mandamentais ou sub- rogatórias, uma vez sendo estas necessárias para assegurar o cumprimento de ordem judicial, inclusive nas ações que tenham por objeto prestação pecuniária, baseando-se no tripé da necessidade, proporcionalidade e razoabilidade; Ainda, sendo amplo o poder do juiz na determinação de medidas de satisfação da obrigação, é necessária uma análise sobre a efetividade e legalidade dessas novas medidas adotadas, ponderando os efeitos gerados tanto no Executado e seus direitos da personalidade, quanto no Exequente, e verificando a repercussão e as consequências dessas determinações.

Objetivou-se realizar a caracterização morfométrica da Área de Drenagem da Barragem do Rio Juramento (ADBRJ), por meio de ferramentas geotecnológicas livres, visando subsidiar estudos relacionados à dinâmica hidrológica e ambiental da bacia hidrográfica. Para realização desse estudo foi utilizado um banco de dados cartográfico, software QGIS e alguns Apps de geolocalização. Por meio dessas ferramentas foram determinados alguns parâmetros (Forma da Bacia, Sistema de Drenagem e Relevo) essenciais e fundamentais para a caracterização morfométrica da ADBRJ, bem como os principais indicadores e coeficientes utilizados para quantificar a influência da forma da bacia hidrográfica em resposta à ocorrência de uma precipitação. A ADBRJ foi considerada como área de menor propensão a gerar grandes enchentes. Embora a área de estudo possui, em média, padrão de drenagem regular, a variabilidade espacial deste parâmetro é muito evidente, apresentando-se menores valores nas áreas planas e maiores valores nas áreas íngremes. Com declividade média de 17,20%, predomina na bacia o relevo do tipo ondulado (32,80% da área total), com altitude variando de 626 m (altitude mínima) a 1253 m (altitude máxima), com altitude média de 914,61 m. O mapeamento detalhado da ADBRJ, por meio de ferramentas geotecnológicas livres, permite realizar a caracterização morfométrica da bacia, o qual pode subsidiar estudos associados à dinâmica hidrológica e ambiental, bem como orientar as tomadas de decisão quanto ao uso e manejo racional dos recursos naturais.

Cooperative spectrum sensing based on data fusion from multiple sensors
Authors: Mazuro Maciej
Published: January 2024

The development of technology is progressing in every area of our lives. Each of us has anelectronic device that emits electromagnetic energy. Radiation of radio signals is an essential element ofwireless communication, satellite navigation or real-time monitoring. Modern armies have technologicalsolutions based on wireless technologies that improve operational efficiency, increase situationalawareness and allow us for faster decision making, but at the same time, in the electromagneticspectrum, equipment using electromagnetic energy can be compared to a flashlight ‒ the enemycan observe “glowing” points on the spectrograms and frequency domain images. This enables us toeasy detect and localise the target and then to eliminate it. This is a domain where radio-electronicreconnaissance techniques work well ‒ a type of military reconnaissance that uses the electromagneticspectrum to gather information about the enemy. One of the methods is spectrum sensing, based onthe analysis of received radio signals. Currently, there is a tendency in which information from onesensor is not enough. It is necessary to collect reconnaissance products from many devices, and thento make effective data fusion. DF (Data Fusion) algorithms allow us for cooperative sensing of theelectromagnetic spectrum, which translates into a higher probability of signal detection. It is worthconsidering the introduction of software-defined radio and unmanned aerial vehicle solutions in orderto miniaturise reconnaissance systems and to increase a range through the use of flying platforms.Implementations of unmanned systems and artificial intelligence algorithms, capable of making quickand accurate decisions will help to avoid human losses.Keywords: signal intelligence, unmanned aerial vehicle, software defined radio, data fusion, artificialintelligence

An office is a building that is the center of all activities of a company. Offices can be built on a variety of land including unstable land or slopes and cliffs. Development on slopes can be easily disrupted by various things. Office buildings built on slopes require cantilever type retaining walls where cantilever type retaining walls are commonly used in soil conditions such as slopes or cliffs. The purpose of the study was to design a retaining wall and calculate the costs involved in the construction of the retaining wall. The research was conducted on an 8-story office building located on a slope or cliff by planning a cantilever type retaining wall. The cantilever type retaining wall planning method uses AutoCad and Microsoft Excel using the SNI 8460-2017 reference standard. The cantilever type retaining wall designed has dimensions of 6,00 m high and 4,20 meters wide in order to withstand the soil around the office building. The results showed that the safety factor on the slope using the Fellinius method obtained a value of 1,77 by having a retaining wall dimension area of 17,76 m2. The stability obtained in the form of shear stability of 1,51, rolling stability of 2,38 and stability of soil bearing capacity using the Terzaghi equation was found to be 5,64. The total settlement that occurred in the soil amounted to 15,56 mm. The reinforcement required on the retaining wall is D19-200, D19-166 and D19-142 on the vertical wall reinforcement while the reinforcement on the footplateis D19-142.Theresultsof the calculationofthe costbudgetplan whichincludes excavation of soil, wall formwork, reinforcement, ready mix concrete and landfill are estimated for the planning of cantilever type retaining walls amounting to Rp. 2.114.518.361.

Computing: Paradigm shifts, adoption, new digital professionals rising

Dr Joanna Leng, School of Computing, University of Leeds, UK and Dr Phillip Brooker, School of Sociology, University of Liverpool, Emeritus and Prof Wes Sharrock, School of Sociology, University of Manchester, focus on computing: paradigm shifts, charting the adoption and the rise of new digital professions. The historical lineage of research software delivery models is visualised in Fig 1, showing that research software delivery in universities is now cyclic, breaking approximately every ten years. In recent cycles, the research software delivery model in universities has been systematically centralised and administratively unified, making the model similar to Hick’s model of pre-1960s computing labour where programming was gendered towards women as sub-clerical support work, as opposed to being foundational to academic teaching and research practice.

Canadian workers at risk: Removing barriers to treatment for public safety professionals (PSP)

Gregory S Anderson, from Thompson Rivers University and Helen Dragatsi, from Government of Canada speak to us about removing barriers to treatment for Canadian workers at risk. It has long been recognized that public safety personnel (PSP) experience a high risk of psychological impacts caused by traumatic events within their occupations. Such exposures have been linked to increased incidence of posttraumatic stress injuries (PTSI), including anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive disorders, suicide ideation, and substance abuse. In response, most Canadian jurisdictions (provinces and territories) have adopted new workers’ compensation legislative amendments that create a presumption in favor of PSP who suffer from trauma-induced mental disorders. In these situations, the mental disorder is presumed to have been caused by the responder’s employment. These presumptive clauses facilitate access to workers’ compensation for public safety professionals (PSP) who previously had the onus of proving that their psychological impairments resulted from their work.

Innovating polymers: 100% recycled ECOPLASTOMER®

Katarzyna Pokwicka-Croucher, Founder and CEO of Ecopolplast, tells us about the company’s mission to innovate polymers through their eco-friendly Ecoplastomer® product, made with 100% recycled content that reduces CO2 emissions and ensures complete independence from virgin raw materials. Global production of polyolefins has increased by over 1000% since the 1950s. The amount of municipal waste based on these polymers each year is 2.1 billion tonnes. This is the amount of only one selected group of materials. Considering other types of polymers such as PET, PS, PA, PC, or cross-linked materials, i.e., XLPE and rubber, this amount will be several dozen times higher. This problem, along with environmental regulations, has increased consumer awareness and producers’ responsibility for plastic recycling. Certain laws and regulations (the European Union’s REACH (EC) No. 1907/2006, the United Nations’ Paris Agreement, and Canada’s carbon pricing policy (the ‘carbon tax’)) help to significantly mitigate the environmental impact of waste. A study of the EU market on a global production scale showed that the countries with higher conversion were Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Great Britain, and Poland (starting with the largest producers), which produced ~80% of plastic waste. Moreover, the depletion and the slow disappearance of fossil fuels, which are the raw material for the production of plastics worldwide, emphasize the need to find uses for the collected waste that will be recycled.

Harnessing crop breeding innovations for a sustainable agricultural future

Dr. Sebastian Schultheiss, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Computomics, walks us through harnessing crop breeding innovations for a sustainable agricultural future. Our agricultural production today faces the dilemma of addressing two challenges at once. Food security and nutrition on the one hand, sustainability and resource efficiency on the other. In other words, farmers must produce enough food to feed the world’s growing population today while also protecting the environment and ensuring that they can continue producing food tomorrow. Extreme weather conditions like droughts, heat waves, floods and storms have become alarmingly common and are worsening yearly. These events erode the foundation of our crops, the livelihoods of millions of farmers, and, by extension, the global food supply chain. Addressing these challenges is an urgent concern for a sustainable agricultural future.

COP28: The fossil fuel COP and political leadership on climate

Richard Beardsworth, Professor of International Relations and Head of School from POLIS, University of Leeds, reflects on COP28, focusing on the fossil fuel COP and political leadership on climate. The 2023 Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai has been designated by participants (governments as well as the UN secretariat and civil society actors) as the ‘fossil fuel COP’. What are the stakes in this designation and what political leadership is required to address them? This article rehearses these stakes as well as the political response necessary. Although it will be evident by the time this article is published to what extent COP28 has been a successful ‘fossil fuel COP’, the political leadership so desperately needed for the average global temperature increase of 1.5°C to retain meaning will remain an absolute priority for climate leaders throughout 2024.

Building resilience: Key to protecting adolescent mental health

Essi Viding, Pasco Fearon, Tom Wu, Alexander Lloyd, Laura Lucas, Roslyn Law, and Jaime Smith discuss new approaches to preventing adolescent mental health problems from emerging. Adolescence is a period of heightened vulnerability to developing mental health problems. Rates of mental health disorder among adolescents have increased in the last decade(1). In light of the vast associated interpersonal and economic costs(2,3) , it is striking how few resources have been invested in advancing our understanding of how to effectively prevent mental health problems developing before they become entrenched, particularly in adolescents who are at high risk.

Primary care and medical education for Japan’s ageing population

Prof Junji Haruta from Keio University highlights Japan’s ageing population, focusing on challenges and innovations in primary care, plus medical education. Japan has announced in its latest population estimates that the ageing rate for those aged 65 and above has reached 29.0% (Cabinet Office, 2023). This marks a 12-year consecutive decline in Japan’s total population, positioning it as the country with the highest proportion of elderly worldwide. A significant study predicts that by 2040, over 27% of Japan’s elderly population will face limitations in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) and social functions (Chen et al., 2016).
