Objectives:

The objective of our study was to describe spontaneously reported haemorrhagic adverse events associated with rivaroxaban and dabigatran in Australia.

Methods:

Data were sourced from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) Database of Adverse Event Notifications between June 2009 and May 2014. Records of haemorrhagic adverse events in which rivaroxaban or dabigatran was considered as a potential cause were analysed.

Results:

There were 240 haemorrhagic adverse events associated with rivaroxaban and 504 associated with dabigatran. Age was specified for 164 (68%) haemorrhages associated with rivaroxaban, of which 101 occurred in people aged ⩾75 years. Age was specified for 437 (87%) haemorrhages associated with dabigatran, of which 300 occurred in people aged ⩾75 years. Time from treatment initiation to haemorrhage was specified for 122 (51%) haemorrhages associated with rivaroxaban, with 69 (57%) haemorrhages occurring within 30 days of rivaroxaban initiation. Time from treatment initiation to haemorrhage was specified for 253 (50%) haemorrhages associated with dabigatran, with 123 (49%) haemorrhages occurring within 30 days of dabigatran initiation. Gastrointestinal (GI) haemorrhages were the most frequent type of haemorrhages associated with both rivaroxaban ( n = 105, 44%) and dabigatran ( n = 302, 60%). Data were available on the severity of haemorrhage for 101 (42%) haemorrhages associated with rivaroxaban, with haemorrhage leading to death in 17 people. The severity of haemorrhage was specified for 384 (76%) haemorrhages associated with dabigatran, with haemorrhage leading to death in 61 people.

Conclusions:

Our study highlights the need for research on the haemorrhagic complications of anticoagulation in clinical care. A considerable proportion of reported haemorrhagic events occurred within 30 days of rivaroxaban and dabigatran initiation. This highlights the importance of considering bleeding risk at the time of treatment initiation.
Toward an African Community-Based Research (ACBR) Methodology
Authors: Ibhakewanlan John-Okoria , McGrath Simon
Published: November 2015

Based on an expressed need in the past few years for an appropriate research methodology for colonized peoples, this article proposes a way of conducting research that is faithful to the essential tenets of the African culture. The article delineates principles of a community-based participatory approach to research in Africa. After first outlining the essential tenets of a community-based research (CBR) that are relevant for research projects in Africa, the article argued that the existing CBR lacked a specifically African philosophical basis. It explained the uniqueness of the African philosophy. It then summed up the research principles based on that philosophy. Last, the challenges of conducting such a research study in Africa were outlined. Despite the African emphasis of the overall approach, this proposed methodology may be employed in similar settings where issues such as decolonization are important variables in the research strategy.
L3 Acquisition of Simple and Present Progressive Tenses by Iranian EFL Learners
Authors: Jabbari Ali Akbar , Salimi Hemrah
Published: November 2015

This study sought to investigate the role of transfer at the initial states of the third language (L3) acquisition. The following hypotheses were investigated in this study: (a) the second language transfer hypothesis (“L2 Status Factor”) proposing that L2 impedes transfer from L1 into L3; (b) the Cumulative Enhancement Model (“CEM”), proposing selective transfer from the previously learned languages, here L1 and L2; and (c) the Full Transfer/Full Access Hypothesis (FT/FA), suggesting that the Universal Grammar (UG) is available in acquiring the succeeding languages. The data were elicited via two experimental groups: one, Persian learners of English as a second language, and the other, Turkmen learners of English as a third language who had already acquired Persian as a second one. The structures tested in this study were simple present and present progressive tenses across the languages mentioned above. The L2 and L3 learners were tested at the initial state of their English acquisition. Data were gathered through grammaticality judgment and translation tasks. The results demonstrated that there is a significant advantage of L1 transfer in L3 acquisition.
Marriage Age, Fertility Behavior, and Women’s Empowerment in Nigeria
Authors: SOLANKE Bola Lukman
Published: November 2015

This study examines the relationship between age at first marriage and women’s fertility behavior and empowerment. Data were extracted from the 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. The Poisson regression and multinomial logistic regression were applied using Stata version 12. Results show that the incident rate of children ever born for women aged 15 to 19 years is less than the incident rate of children ever born for women aged 14 years or less (incident rate ratios = 0.8177, p < .01), and that the relative risk of being in high empowerment category instead of moderate category will increase by a factor of 2.0988 for those aged 15 to 19 years at first marriage compared with those aged 14 years or less. Age at first marriage is significantly related to women’s fertility behavior and empowerment.
Do employers prefer migrant workers? Evidence from a Chinese job board
Authors: Kuhn Peter , Shen Kailing
Published: November 2015

We study urban, private sector Chinese employers’ preferences between workers with and without a local permanent residence permit (hukou) using callback information from an Internet job board. We find that these employers prefer migrant workers to locals who are identically matched to the job’s requirements; these preferences are strongest in jobs requiring lower levels of education and offering low pay. While migrant-native payroll tax differentials might account for some of this gap, we argue that the patterns are hard to explain without some role for a migrant productivity advantage in less skilled jobs. Possible sources of this advantage include positive selection of nonlocals into migration, negative selection of local workers into formal search for unskilled private sector jobs, efficiency wage effects related to unskilled migrants’ limited access to the urban social safety net, and intertemporal labor and effort substitution by temporary migrants that makes them more desirable workers.

Published: November 2015

A package of amendments to the federal law on local self-government introduced in 2014 has had a major impact on the formation of new institutional design of local authorities. The key areas of institutional changes were the introduction of management models, excluding the direct elections of heads of municipalities by the population, at the same time endowed with the status of the heads of administrations and replacing them with a model of city manager. Legislative novels of 2015 expanded the range of models of management variability by municipalities and proposed options for the elections of heads of municipalities, authorized heads of administration and deputies, were actively used by the regional authorities for the implementation in practice of the organization of municipal management in different areas. The general trend of structural and personnel changes in the organization of the local government areas of the Central Chernozem Region is its further integration into the "vertical of power".

Violation of corporate law is the basis of protective legal relationship that always exists in relation to the regulatory one. The nature of the legal relationship makes possible the use of those remedies which arise from the nature of the legal relationship, so in violation of the right of participation (membership) corporate remedies may be used.
ESTIMATION OF LEVELS AND STRUCTURE OF STATE SUPPORT FOR AGRICULTURE IN THE COUNTRIES OF EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION
Authors: Шагайда  , Shagayda Natalya , Гатаулина  , Gataulina Ekaterina
Published: November 2015

The article gives the detailed analysis of the levels and structure of state support of countries of Eurasian Economic Union on the basis of official notifications of the volumes of state support for agriculture in 2012. It is shown that countries differ significantly in these indicators, which could be a problem when forming a single agricultural market. The analysis revealed the imperfection of methodological approaches in determining the level of state support of agriculture as well as in filling in reporting forms, which leads to ambiguity of the reported data on the size and structure of state support presented by the countries. In particular, the assessment of the level of support of the Republic of Belarus in 2012 could be 19,1% instead of the submitted 8.7% due to the difference in the method used for calculating this index. It is proposed to increase the official involvement of the expert scientific community in monitoring the state support of agriculture.

SLAVIC COLONIZATION OF THE TERRITORY OF VERKHOVSKY HISTORICAL-GEOGRAPHICAL PROVINCE
Authors: Майоров  , Mayorov Anatoliy
Published: November 2015

Settlement of the territory of Ancient Russia was implemented by the various Eastern Slavic tribes, which retained their own specific features of historical development for a long time caused by underlying problems of ethnogenesis, and specificity of military and strategic position of their territories, by opportunities of the development of transit trade. Vyatiches had differences from their neighbours longer than others, who had settled in the Upper Oka basin called Verkhovsky historical geographical province. In the VIIIth – XIIth centuries that region was characterized by the presence of a common set of political, economical, social and geographical features that were the reasons of prolonged existence of the autonomous tribal vyatich’s ethno-political union. The appearance of specific features of that territory was due to the forms and methods of its Slavic colonization, during which the rapid assimilation of the local original population took place.
Does the family “need” depression? A pilot study of family consultations

Published: November 2015

Cel

Celem badania jest analiza związków między lekooporną postacią depresji a sposobem, w jaki choroba jest opisywania przez pacjenta i członków jego rodziny. W szczególności weryfikacji wymaga hipoteza, zgodnie z którą choroba i chorowanie mogą stanowić czynnik stabilizujący system rodzinny, a w konsekwencji leczenie tego rodzaju depresji może napotkać na dodatkowe trudności i wzmacniać „lekooporność” poprzez „zatrzymywanie depresji” przez rodzinę.

Metoda

Badaniem objęto 20 pacjentów i ich rodziny. Konsultacje przeprowadzone z każdą z tych rodzin stanowiły materiał do prezentowanych badań. Wstępne wyniki badania wskazują na wyraźny związek między tym, w jaki sposób pacjent i jego rodzina definiują okoliczności choroby i leczenia a typem interakcji pomiędzy nimi, manifestowanymi werbalnie i niewerbalnie.

Wyniki

Wyniki analizy ilościowej wskazują, że jeśli pacjent w czasie konsultacji zastanawia się, jak opisać sytuację, w której się znalazł i uwarunkowania jego choroby, to najczęściej ma to miejsce w opozycji do członków rodziny generacyjnej. Natomiast w sytuacji, kiedy manifestuje objawy depresyjne, wchodzi bardziej w rolę zależną od członków rodziny, którzy wyrażają wobec niego postawę ciepła.

Wnioski

Lekooporność depresji powinna być rozpatrywana także z uwzględnieniem kontekstu rodzinnego pacjenta.

Cette étude traite de l’un des textes les plus emblématiques du plurilinguisme qui s’épanouit dans l’Orient islamique à l’âge mongol, un glossaire en six langues connu sous le nom d’Hexaglotte rassoulide. La découverte du préambule inédit de ce document invite à le replacer dans le cadre plus vaste des activités savantes du « roi grammairien » et sultan du Yémen al-Afḍal (1363-1377) et à explorer les différentes dimensions idéologiques de cette tentative d’ordonner le monde par le recours aux sciences du langage. L’article invite plus largement à reconsidérer la place de l’Arabie occidentale dans les mutations culturelles de l’Islam entre le XIIIeet le XVesiècle.
Les débats médiévaux sur la foi volontaire et la généalogie de l'individualisme moderne
Authors: Robert Aurélien
Published: November 2015

Est-il possible de vouloir croire en quelque chose ? Si le débat qui opposa William James et William Clifford est bien connu et continue d’alimenter la réflexion contemporaine, la question de la foi volontaire n’est toutefois pas nouvelle. Deux livres récents, l’un dirigé par Laurent Jaffro, Croit-on comme on veut ? Histoire d’une controverse, et l’autre de Christophe Grellard, De la certitude volontaire. Débats nominalistes sur la foi à la fin du Moyen Âge, proposent une généalogie de ces débats sur la foi volontaire depuis Augustin jusqu’à certains nominalistes du XVe siècle, en insistant sur le tournant imposé par Guillaume d’Ockham au début du XIVe siècle. Quel rôle ont pu jouer ces débats médiévaux sur la foi dans l’émergence de la modernité et, plus précisément, dans l’avènement de l’individualisme ? Pour y répondre, nous confrontons dans cet article les dernières recherches en histoire de la philosophie médiévale avec les lectures de la modernité esquissées jadis parMichel de Certeau et Louis Dumont.
Ancient Greece: The Historical Needle’s Eye of Modern Politics and Political Thought
Authors: Raaflaub Kurt A.
Published: November 2015

A broad range of political procedures, principles, and ways of thinking that are crucial, widespread, and fairly generally accepted (though not always fully realized) components of political life in our modern world have their origin in ancient Greece, even if they were developed further in recent centuries. Most prominent among these are normative laws enacted by the community or its representatives, constitutions and constitutional theory, the principles of popular sovereignty, checks and balances, and representation, majority voting, the secret ballot, the concept of citizenship, and political thought and theory. This paper examines the question of when and why each of these “items” was invented by the Greeks, and why they were invented in Greece in the first place (in a small, mountainous, and mostly poor country beyond the reach of the great empires of the time) rather than in Mesopotamia or Egypt—in societies that developed marvelous early civilizations by which the Greeks were inspired in many other ways.
Heroes and Outcasts: Ambiguous Attitudes Towards Impaired and Disfigured Roman Veterans
Authors: Van Lommel Korneel
Published: November 2015

This paper will focus on physically impaired and disfigured soldiers and their perception in Roman antiquity from the late Republic until the early Imperial era (third century bc until third century ad ). Based on case studies from literary sources, this paper aims to explore the integration of impaired and disfigured veterans into Roman civil society. The first part outlines the ambiguous attitudes shown towards these veterans, who were both praised and ridiculed, and seeks explanations. The second part argues that few impairments and disfigurements precluded veterans from holding political or religious office.
The Role of Libraries in Contemporary African Society
Authors: Mchombu Kingo , Beukes-Amiss Catherine Maggy
Published: November 2015

The focus of this paper is on library development in contemporary African society. A discussion of library development in the context of countries now enjoying rapid economic development is attempted here. Focusing on countries undergoing rapid economic development brings an alternative perspective to an analysis of library development in Africa and helps us to understand not only what is lacking but also what is going well as a basis for future development. The paper is divided into three parts: one that considers the contemporary landscape of librarianship in Africa; one that describes the characteristics of African society; and one that concerns the major role that information and communication technologies (ICTs) have played in the renaissance of libraries in Africa. Several drivers of change in African library development stand out—most notably: 1) the achievement of stronger economic circumstances; 2) the increased prevalence of ICTs and access to the internet; 3) expanded public awareness of the value of libraries in society; and 4) partnership between the new generation of government leaders and partner agencies that are more focused on social impact than maintaining influence and dominance.
The Drive for School Libraries in South Africa: Intersections and Connections
Authors: Hart Genevieve , Zinn Sandy
Published: November 2015

This paper traces the important developments in school librarianship in South Africa since 2007, during which time the drive to address huge backlogs in school library provision has gained momentum—largely, it argues, from the intersections of two phenomena: the Library and Information Services (LIS) Transformation Charter ; and Equal Education, a civic-action NGO campaigning on behalf of school libraries. South African youth face daunting challenges, and their schooling is perhaps where the heritage of apartheid is most visible. The lack of libraries, it is argued, has undermined the attempts at curricular reform since the late 1990s. The daunting backlogs in school library provision mean that innovative models of service will be needed that cut across existing divisions. Given the impact of the lack of school libraries on all sectors of LIS, the paper examines the recommendations in the LIS Transformation Charter that South African LIS should turn to the concept of ecosystem to provide the framework for concerted action.
Estructuras dramáticas y zoomorfismo en Los gatos de Jesús González Dávila
Authors: Barrios Armín Gómez
Published: November 2015

Mexican author Jesús González Dávila shows in his Los gatos a primitive world wherein irrationality prevails and the ideals of civilization and progress are destroyed. In this dramatic representation of the slums of Mexico, children learn to act pragmatically, discarding their dreams and aspirations in order to obey their instincts. González Dávila grew up in the rugged landscape of Sabinas, Coahuila, and later worked with street children in Mexico City, an experience from which he captures in his drama the vulnerability of childhood. The play was written in the 70’s and reworked in 1999, but its subject remains valid. The author retains a mysterious, poetic spirit in the representation of Mexican children, especially Polo, his iconic character. The main dramatic structures of the play are studied through the lens of Dramatology, while that of Ethology provides a zoomorphic perspective of the characters.
Literature is Not Just a Battlefield
Authors: Lahire Bernard
Published: November 2015

It is impossible nowadays to discuss literary creation as a sociologist without taking an explicit position on the theory of the literary field, as a particular version of the general theory of fields. This task becomes all the more difficult as the ostensible ambition of this theory is to consider not only those dimensions of the literary world most commonly recognized as “social” (the literary and social trajectories of writers; the spatial structure of literary positions and struggles for symbolic domination; the social inception of literary institutions like publishing companies, literary series, and journals; editorial strategies, movements, trends, and schools of thought; manifestos and literary expressions of every kind; and the role of all those, ranging from publishers to critics, educational institutions to the media, and sponsors of literary awards, who contribute to establishing the value of a work), but also to approach works through their most specifically literary aspects (such as themes, composition, and style).

Pro-Nuclear Environmentalism: Should We Learn to Stop Worrying and Love Nuclear Energy?
Authors: van Munster Rens , Sylvest Casper
Published: November 2015

In light of repeated failures to reach political agreement on effective policies to combat climate change, pro-nuclear environmentalists have set out to reverse the traditionally anti-nuclear inclinations of environmentalists. This essay examines the ideological commitments and assumptions of pro-nuclear environmentalism by performing a critical, historical analysis of the nuclear-environment nexus through the prism of documentary film. We focus on the work and career of documentary filmmaker Rob Stone, whose most recent production, Pandora’s Promise ( PP ) (2013), has emerged as a central statement of this creed. PP actively forges a new political imaginary that replaces the apocalyptic image of nuclear fallout with that of catastrophic climate change. In terms of its rhetorical and visual strategies, however, PP also reveals that pro-nuclear environmentalist arguments have a long lineage. A close study of such continuities reveals a number of political implications that call for reflection as well as caution.
Simulation and Spacecraft Design: Engineering Mars Landings
Authors: Conway Erik M.
Published: November 2015

A key issue in history of technology that has received little attention is the use of simulation in engineering design. This article explores the use of both mechanical and numerical simulation in the design of the Mars atmospheric entry phases of the Viking and Mars Pathfinder missions to argue that engineers used both kinds of simulation to develop knowledge of their designs’ likely behavior in the poorly known environment of Mars. Each kind of simulation could be used as a warrant of the other’s fidelity, in an iterative process of knowledge construction.
Designing to the Test: Performance Standards and Technological Change in the U.S. Automobile after 1966
Authors: Vinsel Lee Jared
Published: November 2015

Performance standards have played an important part in the regulation of technology for many years, yet they have received little attention from historians. This article presents a three-part framework of analysis for examining the role of regulatory performance standards in technological change. Parts one and two of the framework focus on how regulatory agencies construct and enforce standards for technological risks, or “negative externalities.” The final part addresses the important question of whether and how firms choose to internalize these standards in their design procedures and other organizational routines. The article provides examples from the history of automotive regulation in the United States to illustrate each part of the framework, and it gives some thoughts on how regulatory performance standards fit within the voluminous literature on standardization, including other work on de facto and voluntary consensus standards.

Desafios metodológicos no estudo da relação das crianças com as notícias: o recurso a metodo logias participativas na dinamização de grupos de foco
Authors: Silveira Patrícia
Published: November 2015

Este estudo pretende apresentar a opção e o procedimento metodológico deuma tese de doutoramento em curso, que tem como objeto de estudo as crianças e as suas representações sobre a atualidade e o mundo. Partindo de um referencial teórico que se apoia na sociologia da infância, defendemos a ideia de criança como indivíduo competente e criativo na construção de significados sobre a realidade, e como interveniente do processo investigativo. Em simultâneo, entendemos as notícias como importantes referentes para o modo como a criança conhece o mundo, considerando que é fundamental que esta desenvolva competências de literacia mediática face à informação. Com base nestes pressupostos, damos conta do recurso a metodologias participativas na dinamização de grupos de foco com crianças, com o propósito de as colocar numa relação autónoma e criativa com as notícias, com vista ao desenvolvimento de posturas críticas face aos modos de olhar o mundo propostos pelos media.
O rádio na educação: explorando a linguagem radiofônica no estudo das artes
Authors: Andrelo Roseane , Almeida Lígia Carvalho de
Published: November 2015

A experiência brasileira revela que, apesar da presença do rádio nas escolasbásicas, seu potencial é subaproveitado por educadores que não detêm conhecimento aprofundado sobre a estrutura de sua linguagem, composta por palavra, músicas, efeitos sonoros e silêncio, sobretudo no que diz respeito a três aspectos centrais: a oralidade, a interatividade e a mídia‑educação. Assim, com base no conhecimento empírico das autoras e em literatura especializada, analisa‑se o potencial da linguagem radiofônica, considerada o alicerce para o uso educativo do rádio, tanto em suporte analógico quanto em digital. Contando com apoio de ambiente virtual, delineia‑se uma proposta para o ensino de artes, alinhada aos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais, que solicitam o despertamento da sensibilidade, da criatividade e o enfoque da diversidade de manifestações artísticas e culturais nas escolas básicas.
POLÍTICAS EDUCACIONAIS ATUAIS: VALORIZAÇÃO OU PRECARIZAÇÃO DO TRABALHO DOCENTE
Authors: Carvalho Elma Júlia Gonçalves de , Wonsik Ester Cristiane
Published: November 2015

No presente texto, abordando as políticas de valorização do docente propostas a partir de 1990, procuramos mostrar que a elas se relaciona a precarização das condições de trabalho desse profissional. Inicialmente, considerando que a reforma educacional brasileira se orienta principalmente por critérios estabelecidos por organizações internacionais, abordaremos o discurso de valorização do trabalho docente. Na sequência, focalizando os encaminhamentos das políticas educativas brasileiras, estabelecemos uma relação entre essa pretensa valorização e a precarização do trabalho docente. Por fim, entendendo que as políticas expressam as relações sociais mais amplas, vincularemos as novas condicionalidades do trabalho docente às mudanças no mundo do trabalho em geral e teceremos considerações sobre os encaminhamentos da atual política educacional no que diz respeito às condições do trabalho docente.
ATIVIDADE DE ENSINO, MEDIAÇÃO E APRENDIZAGEM DA DOCÊNCIA NA RESIDÊNCIA PEDAGÓGICA: UMA ANÁLISE A PARTIR DA TEORIA HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL
Authors: Moretti Vanessa Dias , Martins Edna
Published: November 2015

A partir dos pressupostos da teoria histórico-cultural, a pesquisa apresentada investiga o movimento de aprendizagem da docência desencadeado em estudantes do curso de Pedagogia da universidade pública do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, por uma proposta específica de estágio supervisionado – o Programa de Residência Pedagógica (PRP). Partindo das categorias atividade de ensino e mediação, foram analisados o processo de elaboração do Plano de Ação Pedagógica (PAP) e os relatos das vivências dos residentes em um Diário de Campo on-line. A análise da produção do PAP evidencia que a aprendizagem da organização do ensino é possível no contexto do PRP ao ser desencadeada por elementos que têm constituído esse modelo de estágio: a necessidade instaurada de produção do PAP e a imersão contínua no ambiente escolar. A mediação configura-se como um elemento essencial à aprendizagem docente, ao permitir que, ao compartilhar experiências diárias no contexto escolar, o estudante tenha suas aprendizagens marcadas pela mediação de outros, ao mesmo tempo em que também medeia a aprendizagem dos colegas. Por meio da unidade entre aspectos cognitivos e afetivos, a aprendizagem da docência vai se constituindo de forma mediada e em atividade de ensino no espaço propiciado pela Residência Pedagógica.

O presente artigo elabora uma reflexão sobre os transtornos relacionados à leitura e à escrita a partir da concepção de sujeito como uma construção discursiva. A leitura e a escrita são práticas constituídas historicamente que possibilitam modos de posicionar-se no mundo. Assim, entendem-se, nesse estudo, os desvios quanto às normas de escrita e leitura não como meras disfunções biológicas, mas como modos diferentes de ler e escrever produzidos por sujeitos com corpos que se relacionam também de modos diferentes com os instrumentos, os suportes e os métodos mais tradicionais de leitura e escrita. Ressalta-se, portanto, uma perspectiva sociológica e histórica para a compreensão dos problemas de aprendizagem, refutando a biologização excessiva presente atualmente nos diagnósticos dos aprendentes com dificuldades.
DIÁLOGO ENTRE PENSAMENTO COMPLEXO E HERMENÊUTICA FILOSÓFICA
Authors: Menezes Nilton Rodrigues , Lago Clenio
Published: November 2015

A ruptura da metafísica evidenciou os limites não só da modernidade e do seu projeto educacional, como colocou em questionamento o próprio pensamento ocidental em sua estrutura gerando, por um lado, um relativismo esteticista ao mesmo tempo em que possibilitou o emergir da diversidade. Por isso, quais as perspectivas de novos caminhos para compreender e transcender o ser e o saber do projeto educacional moderno em meio aos desafios contemporâneos da educação? Frente a este questionamento, o presente artigo objetivou, no horizonte do diálogo entre Pensamento Complexo de Edgar Morin e Hermenêutica Filosófica de Hans-Georg Gadamer, que os propósitos educacionais precisam ser vislumbrados para além do dualismo no âmbito da Complexidade Hermenêutica. Efetivou-se o diálogo entre tais proposições, visto tais proposições constituírem-se relevantes dentre muitas temáticas de reflexão no campo educacional: a primeira por significar uma produção desde as ciências da natureza e a segunda, desde as ciências do espírito e ambas proporem-se para além dos propósitos modernos, tanto quanto a ciência quanto a educação. Cada uma, a sua maneira, apresenta estruturações e reflexões que, se entrelaçadas, podem potencializar referenciais aos desafios da fragmentação entre matéria e espírito, ciências naturais e humanas, aos processos lineares e homogeneizantes em educação, na medida em que possibilita compreender o humano como modos de ser históricos.

Estimativas da separação do escoamento superficial em escoamento superficial direto e escoamento de base são importantes para avaliar, entre outros aspectos, a capacidade de manutenção de vazões em períodos de estiagem e a análise das relações entre o escoamento de base e as classes hidrogeológicas pode contribuir para o entendimento dos processos hidrológicos envolvidos. O presente trabalho objetivou estimar o escoamento de base em oito seções de cursos d’água que caracterizam os sistemas hidrogeológicos do Estado de Minas Gerais. Para isto foi utilizado um filtro numérico de modo a avaliar a relação entre sistemas aquíferos e regime de fluxo d’água. Foram utilizados dados diários de vazão, no intervalo de 01/10/1981 a 30/09/1991. Em todos os casos, o escoamento de base foi responsável por mais de 50% da vazão dos cursos d’água. Os aquíferos compostos por litotipos xistosos, pelíticos e por cobertura detrítica apresentam relação entre o escoamento de base e o escoamento superficial menor do que os demais e, portanto, a mesma classificação estatística. Com base nos resultados apresentados, conclui-se que a hidrogeologia exerce influência indireta na relação entre o escoamento de base e a vazão dos cursos d’água.

A desproporcionalidade da criminalização do abortamento de feto anencéfalo: anacronismo da lei penal frente à nova ordem constitucional
Authors: Teixeira Caroline Köhler
Published: November 2015

Este artigo tem objetivo de acusar a desproporcionalidade das normas incriminadoras do aborto quando o feto é portador de anomalia incompatível com a vida extrauterina. Traz à baila o princípio da proporcionalidade como instrumento de veriicação da inconstitucionalidade de normas. Destaca, assim, o anacronismo da legislação penal que tipiica o aborto e a desproporcionalidade da criminalização da antecipação terapêutica do parto de gravidez de feto anencéfalo. Submete as normas penais acerca do aborto ao crivo dos elementos parciais do princípio da proporcionalidade – adequação, necessidade e proporcionalidade em sentido estrito – para, ao inal, concluir pela desproporcionalidade do tratamento criminalizante do aborto quando a gravidez abriga feto anencéfalo.

A responsabilidade civil dos pais pelo abandono afetivo dos filhos menores
Authors: Gomes Fernando Roggia
Published: November 2015

Este artigo versa sobre a responsabilidade civil dos pais pelo abandono afetivo dos filhos menores. Nos dias atuais, o afeto constitui o principal elemento identificador da entidade familiar, fundamental à formação da criança e do adolescente. Sabe-se, porém, que comumente genitores deixam sua prole em situação de completo desamparo moral. Daí surge o questionamento sobre a possibilidade, ou não, de o filho abandonado ser indenizado por danos morais nessa hipótese. Tem-se como objetivo analisar tal questão por meio de entendimentos doutrinários e jurisprudenciais, bem como da legislação vigente e dos projetos de lei correlatos. Ao final, conclui-se que referido pleito é juridicamente possível, embora com alguns fatores condicionantes.
