Jurisdiction of courts with a focus on the Special Chamber of the Supreme Court of Kosovo
Authors: Halili Mr.Sc. Sabri
Published: August 2016

The legal solution offered by the Law establishing the Special Chamber of the Supreme Court of Kosovo is rather challenging for practical implementation. Due to this fact, the decisions of the Special Chamber contain various dilemmas of judges on the jurisdiction of the Chamber on the matters related to natural persons sued by the PAK, which are related to various liabilities of these persons to socially-owned enterprises, namely to the PAK. Since the PAK administers and represents socially owned property in general, it is naturally bound to seek for legal resolutions for all legal contests before a competent court. Naturally, the PAK would seek for such a solution before the Special Chamber of the Supreme Court of Kosovo on PAK-related matters, which is already bound by the title itself, “on PAK-related matters”.Comparisons of remedies by various laws related to subject competence are based on legal literature used in higher education in Kosovo. Analysis of subject competences of regular and special courts is two-fold: the Commercial Court and the Military Court, while the competence of the Special Chamber is only analysed in relation with the Law on Courts, and the Law on the Special Chamber of the Supreme Court, comparing it with the Law on Contested Procedure and the Law on the PAK.The Special Chamber has before and still continues to avoid jurisdiction of this Court, which is sanctioned by Articles 4 and 5 of the Law on the Special Chamber, due to the fact that in cases in which the PAK has sued a natural or legal person, due to debts, occupation of socially owned property, or any other disputed matter, which is directly related to socially owned properties, the Special Chamber proclaims itself incompetent, and transfers the case to regular courts, although the Special Chamber adjudicates “on PAK-related matters”, but in this case only when the PAK is respondent, not when it is claimant.
Role of the Legislature in the Budget Procedure: The Case of Kosovo Assembly
Authors: Peci Dr.Sc. Bedri
Published: August 2016

Frequent political-legal changes as well as the form of organization of the government in Kosovo from 1999 until the second part of 2008 have been reflected in the budget procedure. Budget procedure in Kosovo under the administration of United Nations Missions in Kosovo (UNMIK) was a sui generis case alike UNMIK administration itself, where role of the Kosovo Assembly was nothing more than symbolic. With declaration of the independence on 17th February 2008 and promulgation of the Constitution on 8th April 2008 de jure, the role of the Assembly in the budget procedure has been empowered. However, regardless improvements in the constitutional position of the Assembly, a survey of the Assembly of Kosovo revealed many shortcomings that are necessary to be addressed in order to increase the role of the Assembly in the budget procedure. In this direction we shall emphasize increasing of the role of the Assembly in accordance with constitutional authorizations in the budget procedure, increasing of the technical capacities of the Assembly to conduct research and analysis of the budget and undertaking steps on facilitation the communication between MEFGovernment-Assembly-the Budget and Finance Committee.

Published: August 2016

Flexicurity as one of the most important priorities of employment policies in the EU and its Member States is considered to be also important for the other states of Central and Eastern Europe, including the Western Balkans. According to European Commission (2007, p.7), flexicurity as a combination of flexibility and security in working arrangements can be suggested as an answer to dynamic changes happening in today’s national and international economies; it is an answer to the EU’s dilemma on how to maintain and improve competiveness while reinforcing the European social model.The countries of the Western Balkan which have suffered from the transition process still cannot have a desirable performance of the labour market. Even though the economies of Western Balkan have experienced some economic growth that followed the post-socialist recession, it did not reflect also on better labour market performance, in other words it was considered a “jobless growth”.To address this issue, this paper provides a literature review of the notion of flexicurity and then investigates the relevance of flexicurity for the countries of the Western Balkans through its found components (flexible and reliable contractual arrangements, lifelong learning, active employment policies and social security system). Even though flexicurity can be a way out for low performed economies it is considered as highly costly.
Correlation between Government and Economic Growth –Fiscal Policy during the Transition in Albania
Authors: Syka MSc. Xhenet , Kaduku Dr.Sc. Ilir
Published: August 2016

In this paper we tried to analyze some aspects of fiscal policy in our country, without pretending to give our own sample. Fiscal policy is the use of government expenditures and taxes which affect economic activity. Determination of fiscal policy in a given year takes into account the time virtually the past (current socio-economic status) and the implications for the future (fiscal sustainability).In general the cases dealt the role fiscal policy plays toward economic growth. The analysis many focused both in the theoretical treatment as well as the role that fiscal policy has played in our country, going even further in some suggestions for the future. The most important issue was addressed in the long-term fiscal policy view, fiscal sustainability. In the final everything is addressed to the role of fiscal policy on social issues.The role that fiscal policy should play in economic and social development has long been a controversial issue and is still different among economists. While a restrictive fiscal policy means increasing taxes and cut government spending. Fiscal policy may be expansionary or restrictive. An expansionary fiscal policy means a reduction of direct and indirect taxes and increased government expenditures. Choose between two types of fiscal policy is not an easy decision, both in terms of the current state of the economy, as well as political decisions.
The impact of Oil Prices on the International Economic Arena: The Economic Factors and International Players
Authors: Salihu MA. Arben
Published: August 2016

Throughout history the new technologies and discoveries revolutionized the way we live. The discovery, the oil, has been critical for society, becoming the world’s most profitable and essential industry transforming itself from domestic to international business. The aim of this paper, above all is to analyze the role of oil and its price volatility in world economy. The ongoing changes and transformations in world oil industry tend to have a great effect not only on the oilimporting countries but also on oil-exporting nations. The demand or supply-triggered oil price volatility differ in its effects to world economic activity. Although it may have different effect for the oil importing nations in comparison to oil exporting nations, still inflationary pressure may be a common feature. A number of points relevant to the study are put forward highlighting pros and cons of issues discussed. The paper also elaborates the environmental concerns, deriving from the increase of oil consumption and the necessity (globally) to increase efforts in finding a decent,(environmentally friendly) replacement for oil.

Authors: Hashani MSc. Muhamet , Badivuku-Pantina Dr.Sc. Myrvete
Published: August 2016

A good business environment means a catalyst for small and medium enterprises, a good business environment facilitates development and sustainability of small and medium enterprises. The development of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) is very important to the economic development of a country, and intentionally, MSMEs are considered to be amongst the most efficient instruments for economies in transition, because of their production of sustainable economic growth, employment and poverty reduction.Small and medium enterprises are a generator of new products and technologies; they are are a source of new ideas and advanced strategies of management. Development and sustainability of small and medium enterprises depends on the business environment, which implies a series of social, legal, economic, political or institutional conditions, which are uncontrollable in nature, and affect the organizations’ functions.This study addresses the baseline documents which were taken into consideration by the Government of the Republic of Kosovo in developing economic policies, thereby analysing their advantages and disadvantages. By analysing reports, statistics on MSMEs and other documents, and further complementing the study by a research section (business survey), this paper aims at identifying the key problems faced by the MSMEs in Kosovo, and provide adequate recommendations which may be of service in resolving such problems, but also resulting into a better business environment, and economic development in general.

Authors: Hajdari Dr.Sc. Azem , Ibrahimi MSc. Shpresa , Hajdari MSc. Albulena
Published: August 2016

Law no. 03/L-199 on Courts1 represents a law of significant importance which regulates the organisation, functioning and jurisdiction of courts of the Republic of Kosovo. This law has made numerous reforms in the judicial system of the country. It has set the bases of a modern and sustainable judicial system. In fact the Law on Courts in addition to having changed the judiciary of Kosovo in the aspect of organisation, it has opened the paths in the aspect of ensuring an efficient functioning thereof. Moreover, this law has repealed the application of the Law of former SAP of Kosovo on Regular Courts which in some aspects did not correspond to the trends of contemporary developments in this field. Law on Courts in its solutions embeds the bases of an independent and impartial justice, further on being multiethnic, non-discriminatory, efficient and in principle having an advanced approach of the opportunity for the public opinion to follow the judicial activities. Consequently, within this work, the background of the development of judicial system in Kosovo shall be discussed, some aspects of its reforming and challenges currently the judicial system of the country faces.In the course of preparation of this work, legal-historical method has been applied, the dogmatic method too, method of comparison and the method of analysis and synthesis. Through the legal-historical method, the manner of organisation and activity of the judicial system in Kosovo has been reflected covering the time of Turkish rule up to 2013 basing it on the laws and the Albanian customary law.The dogmatic method has helped on reflecting the manner of organisation and activity of the judicial system in Kosovo, viewing it in the context of regulating these matters through the Law on Courts presently applicable.The comparative method has reflected the features of the new judicial system in Kosovo and a comparison has been undertaken to the characteristics of earlier judicial system. The method of analysis and synthesis has been applied to elaborate in detail specific articles of the Law on Courts, they were commented and in some cases concrete proposals have been given for solution, considered as advanced.
Rational Dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia - Way Toward Reconciliation
Authors: Dalipi Dr.Sc. Samet , Demiri MSc. Nehat
Published: August 2016

Within a decade, Kosovo has compromised twice: accepting the process of decentralization in order to achieve independence and international recognition, through the President Martti Ahtisaari’s Comprehensive Proposal for the Kosovo Status Settlement (2 February 2007), and finally, by approving to offer autonomy for Kosovo Serbs for the sovereignty, but still within the limits of the Ahtisaari Plan.Coincidentally, the same Serbian political parties which had fought three wars, resulting in dissolution of the state (Former Yugoslavia) at that time (the Socialist Party and the Serbian Radical Party), now are in power in the Republic of Serbia, and have the possibility to finally solve the Kosovo case, and to open the perspective for this part, Europe’s black hole, to be engaged in global integration. Statements by senior Serbian politicians are positively shifting, compared to the radicalization of the relations between Albanians and Serbs three decades ago and it is believed that the developments will evolve towards rational choice and acceptance by the parties. Being under pressure by difficult socio-economic situation and need for integration processes, both sides undertake risky and unpopular steps by signing unclear political and verbal agreements on normalization of relations, which may produce difficult solving externalities in the future. The risk lies in the possibility of further damaging the Kosovo’s “piece of the cake”, after every refusal step by the Serbian side, which will damage the interest of Kosovo side according to the “zero sum” game. Analyses of the dialogue process between Kosovo and Serbia reflect the mixed benefits to the parties, resulting in not very soon European integration, and with hope on difficult but necessary reconciliation between Albanians and Serbs in the region. The broken, after the war established, status quo is better than entering into a protracted conflict in the middle of Europe.
The Balkans and Syria’s Civil War: Realities and Challenges
Authors: Gutaj MA. Perparim
Published: August 2016

The prime objective of this research paper is to look at the realities and challenges confronting the Balkan states and societies in light of Syria’s civil war. By examining the mobilization process of Balkan militants who are joining Syria’s rebel cause, especially the Islamic radical groups linked to al-Qaeda, this paper proposes a model that explains why and how Balkan militants are joining the fight in Syria. Drawing upon reliable media reports, personal observations, academic accounts, and other consistent sources, this paper argues that Balkan militants are joining Syria’s rebel cause because foreign Islamic radical groups (that have been operating in the Balkans since the early 1990s) have successfully indoctrinated them. This paper challenges the argument that Islam in the Balkans is a threat to the region, and the claim that Balkan Islam and Muslims in the region are becoming an increasing threat to the West. The central findings of this paper exemplify that the future of Balkan militants is bleak and that they will be confronted with a massive modern and democratic resistance that offers them nothing but reintegration into Balkan Islam, their natural “religious nest.” Notwithstanding the trends related to Syria’s civil war, Balkan Muslims belong to the West, culturally and mentally.

Published: August 2016

The changes that are happening in businesses dictate the changes in all kinds of needed resources to develop the organization. The environment in which the organizations operate is in constant change and becomes more and more unpredictable. Managing these changes is a challenge that all enterprises face. The rapid changes that are happening in business are increasing the need to manage these changes. Enterprises have to develop and use different kinds of management models so that they can grow their performance in order to ensure a competitive position in the market. The changes in enterprises sometimes are not accepted by the organization employees, and seem to have negative effects towards them (exemption from work, reduction of working hours, reduction of income). Changes have negative and positive effects. Successful and rational managers can achieve having successful changes and minimizing the negative effects that come due to changes. Changes are vital for organizations so that they can replace the old plans and models with new and successful ones. In this paper we talk about the role and importance of managing the changes, the types of changes, models of changes, the resistance against changes and also the obtained results of the paper are introduced. Literature was used to support the research in the study field, and based on that to explain the role of changes in the business environment. There are quantitative methods and an inductive analysis used in this paper.

El problema del crecimiento sostenible ¿cómo crecer sin destruirse?
Authors: Saravia Rios Jorge
Published: August 2016

De una u otra forma las organizaciones perciben el crecer como una meta necesaria en la planeación estratégica y cuando se logra el crecimiento buscado se supone una gestión exitosa. Sin embargo, en ocasiones no hay claridad sobre lo que significa crecer, cuáles son sus efectos y no se comprende con profundidad el significado de una buena gestión.Es común ver a las organizaciones formular preguntas como:¿Crecer significa vender más?, ¿Hasta dónde puedo crecer? ¿Crecer es tener mayor infraestructura y personal? ¿Qué tan rentable seré creciendo? o presentando afirmaciones como: “la meta del plan estratégico para este año es crecer un 20%, eso nos posicionará como el número uno en el sector”. La meta de una organización debe ser: ser sostenible y el crecer, puede ser una estrategia para lograrla, sin embargo, el crecer por sí mismo no necesariamente genera sostenibilidad, por esto, si una organización lo entiende como su meta puede comprometer su viabilidad.El problema del crecimiento tiene varias dimensiones de análisis que involucran todas las instancias de una organización, por ejemplo, se necesita tener acceso a la información del mercado y el entorno, se necesita tener la inteligencia para comprender esta información, se necesita una estructura organizacional dinámica, flexible e innovadora, es necesario comprender cómo los diferentes procesos interactúan y qué recursos necesitan. Para entender el crecer como una estrategia, se hace necesaria su formalización, y el uso de herramientas que permitan su manejo, estas herramientas deberán incluir las diferentes dimensiones de análisis. Mediante el uso de estos modelos, una organización puede diseñar una estrategia de crecimiento coherente con sus metas, y sin el riesgo de comprometer su estabilidad.
An empirical investigation of market timing behavior: evidence from Indian IPOs
Authors: Mayur Manas
Published: August 2016

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the market timing behavior of issuers of Indian Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). It was found that investor’s expectation that earnings growth will continue after IPO were not even sustained in post IPO period. The constant decline in P/E and M/B suggested that firms took advantage of over-optimism of investors. The deterioration in post IPO performance show that issuer took benefit of pre IPO profit margin knowing that the level would not be continued in the future. Considering that the issuers took advantage of favorable market condition, a multivariate analysis was carried out to examine whether issuers tried to maximize their proceeds through IPO or not. The idea is that any market timing aspect should get reflected in the effort to maximize proceeds in the favorable market condition. The result based on multivariate regression suggest that market timers, identified as firms that go public when the market is hot, tried to maximize the total proceeds at the time of IPO. The hot issue market effect was remarkably robust; it was significant for both firm and industry-level characteristics
Comparison of different two-pathway models for describing the combined effect of DO and nitrite on the nitrous oxide production by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria
Authors: Lang Longqi , Pocquet Mathieu , Ni Bing-Jie , Yuan Zhiguo , Spérandio Mathieu
Published: August 2016

The aim of this work is to compare the capability of two recently proposed two-pathway models for predicting nitrous oxide (N2O) production by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) for varying ranges of dissolved oxygen (DO) and nitrite. The first model includes the electron carriers whereas the second model is based on direct coupling of electron donors and acceptors. Simulations are confronted to extensive sets of experiments (43 batches) from different studies with three different microbial systems. Despite their different mathematical structures, both models could well and similarly describe the combined effect of DO and nitrite on N2O production rate and emission factor. The model-predicted contributions for nitrifier denitrification pathway and hydroxylamine pathway also matched well with the available isotopic measurements. Based on sensitivity analysis, calibration procedures are described and discussed for facilitating the future use of those models.

A migránsok fogalmának meghatározását követően a vizsgálat eredményeit mutatjuk be. A felmérés eredményeként megállapítható, hogy az önmagukat alapvetően toleránsnak tartó hallgatók a gyakorlatban elutasítóak a migránsokkal szemben. A migránsok iskolai végzettségével kapcsolatos válaszok szerint az alapfokú végzettség és a szakmaismeret feltételezhető a migránsokról, amennyiben a válaszadók úgy ítélték meg, hogy a migránsok egyáltalán rendelkeznek mérhető iskolai végzettséggel. A válaszadók szerint a migránsok munkához való hozzáállása általánosságban rossz. Talán ezért sem szívesen dolgoznának együtt migránsokkal vagy alkalmaznának migránst a kérdésre válaszoló kitöltők.
Néhány választott egyéni sportág jelenlegi helyzetének és versenyképességének elemzése Magyarországon
Authors: Madarász Tamás
Published: August 2016

Az elmúlt néhány évben, hazánkban a sport jelentősége megnövekedett. 2010-ben kiemelésre került 16 egyéni sportág, melyek kiemelt állami támogatásban részesülnek a 2013-2020 közötti időszakban. Jelen kutatásban a kijelölt sportágak közül négy szakágnak – kajak-kenu, öttusa, birkózás, cselgáncs – vizsgáltam a hazai helyzetét és versenyképességét. A sportágak versenyképességét a médiában elfoglalt szerepük alapján vizsgáltam, a Nemzetközi Olimpiai Bizottság (NOB) módszerének megfelelően. A NOB, illetve az ötkarikás játékok szervezőbizottsága (OCOG) a közvetítésekből befolyt összegeket szétosztja a sportágak között, támogatás gyanánt. Fontosnak érzem a sportágak versenyképességét vizsgálni, továbbá a nemzetközi jótapasztalatokat felhasználva később megoldást javasolni a nézettségi adatok növelésére. Ennek első lépcsője ez a kutatás, mely bemutatja a sportágak Magyarország-i helyzetét, feltárja azok különbségeit, és párhuzamot állít a hasonlóságok között.

Authors: Morauszki Kinga , Lajos Attila
Published: August 2016

A szerzők különböző hazai és nemzetközi háttérirodalom feldolgozásával adnak rövid áttekintést arra vonatkozóan, hogy milyen kapcsolattípusokról beszélhetünk az autóiparban. Melyek azok a formák, amelyeket a felek jobban preferálnak, elterjedtebbek, továbbá milyen megkülönböztető jegyeket viselnek az egyes kapcsolati formák. A vevő – beszállító kapcsolatok alapvető kérdése, hogy a vevők miként kezelik beszállítóikat, mint partnereiket. A beszállítói kapcsolat akkor igazán értékes, ha nem csak egyszerű termékszállításról beszélünk, hanem pozitív partnerkapcsolat alakul ki a két fél között. A tanulmány célja egy irodalmi áttekintés, mely a kutatási témakör elméleti alapjait hivatott összefoglalni, ezáltal egyfajta kiinduló pontot jelent a gyakorlati alkalmazás során.
Japán és német kultúra beillesztése a Magyar vállalat működésébe

Magyarországon működő- részben német tulajdonban lévő vállalat- működésébe, hogyan lehet beilleszteni a japán kultúrát. A bemutatásra kerülő cikkemben a különböző szervezeti kultúra modelleket tanulmányoztam, és párhuzamba állítottam a mi vállaltunk szervezeti kultúrájával, hasonlóságokat és ellentéteket kerestem. Megvizsgáltam azokat a környezeti tényezőket, erőforrásokat, amelyek hatással vannak a gyártásra. A tanulmányozás során azt is figyelembe vettem, hogy a különböző nemzetiségek kultúrait, hogyan lehet összehangolni, és ezek összességében hogyan hat ki a termelésre. A robotok alkalmazásának bevezetését tanulmányoztam, és arra kerestem megoldást, hogyan lehetne a gyártást minél gazdaságossá tenni. Sajnos ugyanis a népesség folyamatos csökkenése, és a szakember hiány miatt robotokat kell alkalmazni ahhoz, hogy a vevőket időben, megfelelő mennyiségű és az elvárt minőségű áruval lehessen kiszolgálni. A japán, Toyota-módszer szerint csak akkor sikeres automatizálni egy technológiát, ha az legalább tízszer van letesztelve, erre azonban- a rendelkezésre álló idő hiánya miatt- nincs lehetőségünk. Mivel a gyártási paraméterek, a tapasztalatok még nem megfelelő módon alakultak ki, ezért a selejt termék aránya még magasabb, mint ahol elegendő idő áll a rendelkezésre, a technológia kialakítására.
Who Are the Young People Choosing Web-based Mental Health Support? Findings From the Implementation of Australia's National Web-based Youth Mental Health Service, eheadspace
Authors: Rickwood Debra , Webb Marianne , Kennedy Vanessa , Telford Nic
Published: August 2016

Background

The adolescent and early adult years are periods of peak prevalence and incidence for most mental disorders. Despite the rapid expansion of Web-based mental health care, and increasing evidence of its effectiveness, there is little research investigating the characteristics of young people who access Web-based mental health care. headspace, Australia’s national youth mental health foundation, is ideally placed to explore differences between young people who seek Web-based mental health care and in-person mental health care as it offers both service modes for young people, and collects corresponding data from each service type.

Objective

The objective of this study was to provide a comprehensive profile of young people seeking Web-based mental health care through eheadspace (the headspace Web-based counseling platform), and to compare this with the profile of those accessing help in-person through a headspace center.

Methods

Demographic and clinical presentation data were collected from all eheadspace clients aged 12 to 25 years (the headspace target age range) who received their first counseling session between November 1, 2014 and April 30, 2015 via online chat or email (n=3414). These Web-based clients were compared with all headspace clients aged 12 to 25 who received their first center-based counseling service between October 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015 (n=20,015).

Results

More eheadspace than headspace center clients were female (78.1% compared with 59.1%), and they tended to be older. A higher percentage of eheadspace clients presented with high or very high levels of psychological distress (86.6% compared with 73.2%), but they were at an earlier stage of illness on other indicators of clinical presentation compared with center clients.

Conclusions

The findings of this study suggest that eheadspace is reaching a unique client group who may not otherwise seek help or who might wait longer before seeking help if in-person mental health support was their only option. Web-based support can lead young people to seek help at an earlier stage of illness and appears to be an important component in a stepped continuum of mental health care.

A cronística portuguesa de expansão tem como um de seus grandes nomes o cronista Fernão Lopes de Castanheda que em meados do século XVI traz à luz sua História do descobrimento e conquista da Índia pelos portugueses. A questão condutora deste artigo diz respeito ao fato de o Primeiro Livro dessa obra, constituído por 95 capítulos, ter se tornado público em uma primeira versão, no ano de 1551, e ter ganhado, em 1554, uma segunda edição, também elaborada por Castanheda, com acréscimo de mais três capítulos. O objetivo do trabalho é refletir a respeito dos prováveis motivos dessa inclusão, porque esse Primeiro Livro ganhou muita divulgação – ao menos comparativamente a outros que também abordam a expansão – na segunda metade do século XVI, com traduções para o francês, o castelhano, o italiano e o inglês.
A Utopia Andina e a construção de uma identidade peruana no pensamento de Alberto Flores Galindo
Authors: Pineiro Marcos Sorrilha
Published: August 2016

Alberto Flores Galindo (1949 – 1990) é reconhecidamente um dos principais intelectuais da história contemporânea do Peru. Autor de cerca de nove livros, sua obra mais conhecida e divulgada, de 1987, tornou-se em muito pouco tempo um “best-seller” no Peru. Historiador de matriz marxista, sua trajetória política sempre esteve declaradamente vinculada aos movimentos políticos de esquerda, porém sem uma adesão partidária declarada. Neste artigo procuramos destacar o papel do intelectual peruano no esforço de compreender, traduzir e explicar seu tempo. Diante dos desafios enfrentados pela fragmentada sociedade peruana da década de 1980, Flores Galindo viu na história um caminho para se construir um elemento capaz de trazer identidade e união para os peruanos, colocando-os diante de uma nova etapa de sua sociedade: o socialismo.
Matriz Energética Brasileira: consolidação, expansão, políticas e meio ambiente. (1971-1979)
Authors: Colacios Roger Domenech
Published: August 2016

Este artigo tem como mote a caracterização da política energética do Brasil na década de 1970, enfatizando as discussões entre especialistas e governo brasileiro suscitadas sobre as opções de fontes energéticas e a questão ambiental. A matriz energética no país neste período, tanto se consolidava pelo uso intensivo do petróleo e das hidrelétricas, quanto buscava se expandir ao investir no álcool e nas usinas nucleares. Tais fontes eram questionadas por especialistas brasileiros quanto aos encaminhamentos e decisões que a política nacional adotava, além de serem criticadas internamente e externamente pelos problemas ambientais que causavam.
Caminhos Da Historiografia Chilena Sobre O Golpe De 1973: Linhas Teóricas E Debates
Authors: Kallás Ana Lima
Published: August 2016

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar e discutir as principais linhas teóricas que permeiam a produção historiográfica sobre o golpe civil-militar no Chile em 1973. O estudo procura mostrar a predominância de concepções denominadas “politicistas” em contraposição a análises supostamente estruturalistas e economicistas. Ao buscar “superar” a historiografia produzida pela esquerda chilena ao longo dos anos de governo da Unidade Popular (1970 – 1973), alguns autores – considerados influentes no meio acadêmico chileno e brasileiro – optaram por uma linha de interpretação que reduz a democracia a uma questão de método, dissociado dos fins, valores e interesses que animam a luta de atores coletivos.
Revisitando o Semiárido: Cenários de Vidas e de Sol
Authors: Aguiar José Otávio , Buriti Catarina De Oliveira
Published: August 2016

O artigo analisa relação entre natureza e cultura na literatura regional do Nordeste, através da leitura da obra Vidas Secas, de Graciliano Ramos. Escrito em 1938, este livro é considerado paradigmático para que se pesquise a especificidade do pensamento do escritor alagoano.  Considerou-se, para tanto, a historicidade de sua escrita, bem como as formas pelas quais se configuravam, em sua literatura, as inter-relações históricas entre os homens e o Semi-árido brasileiro durante os anos 1930. Observa-se que, embora inseridos em um habitat considerado, por vezes, “hostil” e “adverso”, as personagens da trama criavam astúcias de sobrevivência biológica e cultural em interação com esse espaço, de modo que os fatores que os levavam a migrar do sertão nos períodos de seca não eram encarados como conseqüências desse fenômeno natural em sentido estrito, mas, decorrências da forma como tradicionais oligarquias político-econômicas da região utilizaram-se desse momento de vulnerabilidade para intensificar as relações de mando e exploração no ambiente de sertão.
Cartas ao Coronel: A Construção da Dependência de sua Legitimação Pelos Subalternos
Authors: Elmir Cláudio Pereira
Published: August 2016

O artigo apresenta e analisa uma série de cartas pessoais remetidas por correligionários ao coronel Victor Dumoncel Filho na primeira metade dos anos trinta do século XX. Por meio delas, e especialmente dos pedidos que elas contêm, é possível identificar de que maneira os subalternos constroem simbolicamente sua dependência em relação ao coronel, legitimando, desta forma, a autoridade do líder político.
Halbwachs e a Memória: contribuição à História Cultural
Authors: Weber Regina , Pereira Elenita Malta
Published: August 2016

O objeto deste artigo é a fecundidade do conceito de memória coletiva proposto por Maurice Halbwachs, percebida através das críticas que recebeu e diálogos que promoveu em várias disciplinas. A partir de algumas das críticas mais importantes que o autor recebeu em vida – principalmente de seus colegas em Strasbourg –, e de alguns estudos recentes em ciências humanas, pretendemos verificar como suas noções contribuíram para os estudos históricos, particularmente para o campo da história cultural.
Inobservância ou desconhecimento? Dilemas e limites na atuação dos juízes de paz (Rio Grande do Sul – Século XIX)
Authors: Witt Marcos Antônio
Published: August 2016

O presente texto pretende discutir se os dilemas e os limites presentes na atuação dos juízes de paz do Litoral Norte do Rio Grande do Sul (LNRS) estiveram pautados pela inobservância ou pelo desconhecimento das leis. O recorte temporal compreende a década de 1830. Pelo que foi pesquisado, conclui-se que os juízes souberam usufruir da criação deste cargo, atuando de acordo com seus próprios interesses e de acordo com os interesses de seus aliados. Tateando entre a inobservância e o desconhecimento, estes atores locais foram protagonistas e intermediadores de inúmeros conflitos.
Os "ribeirinhos" do Pantanal Norte: por uma reflexão sobre práticas rurais e os códigos legais (1870-1930)
Authors: Borges Ana Carolina da Silva
Published: August 2016

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir e analisar a relação estabelecida entre a sociedade e a natureza na extensa área alagável do Pantanal Norte, tendo um interesse maior pelos moradores da beira dos rios São Lourenço e Cuiabá, entre os anos de 1870 a 1930, chamados externamente de “ribeirinhos”. Adentraremos no universo pantaneiro que os “ribeirinhos” ajudaram a compor, percebendo suas lógicas e as práticas diárias no contexto das transformações ocorridas em Mato Grosso após o fim da Guerra com o Paraguai (1870) e a reabertura da navegação fluvial, tendo em vista o aumento das relações de troca e comércio locais com as embarcações fluviais, que permitiram a intensificação da exploração dos recursos naturais e a alteração na paisagem pantaneira.

A propósito do Beribéri
Authors: Leonzo Nanci
Published: August 2016

Por um bom período de tempo o beribéri foi visto como uma doença epidêmica e contagiosa. Na Província de Mato Grosso ela teria se manifestado por ocasião do episódio conhecido como Retirada da Laguna, narrado por Taunay logo após o fim do conflito com o Paraguai. Nos primeiros anos do século XX a causa da moléstia e a maneira de combatê-la passaram a ser conhecidas em nível mundial, mas não o bastante para evitar que interpretações errôneas ainda prevaleçam na produção historiográfica brasileira contemporânea.

Published: August 2016

Este artigo abordará alguns dos trabalhos sobre a História de Mato Grosso, no período colonial, desenvolvidos nas últimas décadas, bem como os textos dos cronistas setecentistas e fontes manuscritas, com o intuito de divulgar o que tem sido feito, já que muitas vezes esses trabalhos ficam restritos aos seus locais de produção.
A cidadania e a política educacional do governo Fernando Henrique Cardoso
Authors: Carvalho Alexsandro Donato de , Alves Luis Alberto Marques
Published: August 2016

Objetiva-se historicizar o tema cidadania, referindo como intelectuais e historiadores o definiram, na tentativa de realizar um balanço sobre a presença da temática na contemporaneidade. Com base nessas análises, discutem-se as políticas educacionais do governo FHC e sua relação com a cidadania. A conclusão a que se chega é que, mesmo presente nas políticas de governo, nas propostas pedagógicas, nos currículos de diversas disciplinas, como é o caso da História, a cidadania ainda parece ser uma meta longe de ser alcançada
O Imperador Juliano entre a Filosofia Neoplatônica e a Arte Militar
Authors: Carvalho Margarida Maria de
Published: August 2016

Juliano, Caesar e Augustus no período de 355 a 363 d.C. no Império Romano, participou como general de duas importante batalhas no contexto político-militar do século IV d.C. As atividades militares desse Imperador são muito pouco exploradas pela historiografia da Antiguidade Tardia. O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar a possibilidade da relação existente entre a concepção neoplatônica de Juliano e suas práticas militares o que teria facilitado as negociações desse Imperador com os bárbaros dentro do Exército Romano do século IV d.C.
