Perpetrators and Pariahs: Definitional and Punishment Issues For Child Sex Offenders, and Therapeutic Alternatives for the Criminal Justice System
Authors: Glab Charlotte Rose
Published: December 2016

A punitive approach to criminal sentencing is profoundly counterintuitive in circumstances where incarceration and criminal labelling expedites, rather than prevents, recidivism. In a bid to avoid physical contact offences some paedophiles self-manage with low-level offending, such as viewing child exploitation material. These individuals are child sex offenders who may be receptive to rehabilitation with therapeutic assistance, yet are punished in a system deficient of genuine rehabilitation methodology. Therapeutic jurisprudence approaches for paedophiles have seen great success in international jurisdictions. This article contends that it  is not without merit as an alternative for Australian sentencing practices.  
Editorial: Current Issues in Therapeutic Jurisprudence
Authors: Wexler David B , Perlin Michael L , Vols Michel , Spencer Pauline , Stobbs Nigel
Published: December 2016

On behalf of the guest editors of this special issue, leading scholars and practitioners in the therapeutic jurisprudence (‘TJ’) field in Australia, Europe, and the US, we congratulate QUT and the authors for a valuable contribution to the increasingly influential presence of TJ on the international stage.

TJ had its genesis in the early 1990s as a new interdisciplinary approach to mental health law in the US, but has expanded remarkably in scope, reach and influence since then. TJ sees law as a social force which inevitably gives rise to unintended consequences, which may be either beneficial or harmful (what we have come to identify as therapeutic or anti-therapeutic consequences). These consequences flow from the operation of substantive rules, legal procedures, or from the behaviour of legal actors (such as lawyers and judges). It is in this sense that we conceive of the role of the law as a ‘therapeutic agent’. TJ researchers and practitioners typically make use of social science methods and data to study the extent to which a legal rule or practice affects the psychological well-being of the people it affects, and then explore ways in which anti-therapeutic consequences can be reduced, and therapeutic consequences enhanced, without breaching due process requirements. The jurisdiction with which TJ was most often associated in its earlier days tended to the that of the drug courts (in which the drug court team assists drug addicted offenders to break out of their cycle of offending by facilitating and supervising treatment programs as part of the court process itself) and the other so-called problem solving courts (more commonly referred to as ‘solution focussed courts’ in Australia).
Fenomenología, sentimientos e identidad. La contribución de la fenomenología husserliana de los sentimientos a la cuestión de la identidad personal
Authors: Crespo Mariano
Published: December 2016

El artículo aborda la cuestión de la contribución de los sentimientos a la “conformación” y a la “revelación” de la identidad personal desde la perspectiva de la fenomenología husserliana. Para ello se parte de una breve descripción de qué entiende Edmund Husserl por “sentimientos” señalando el error de considerar esta esfera como una esfera homogénea. La distinción fundamental que cruza la misma es la existente entre sensaciones afectivas (no intencionales) y actos afectivos (intencionales). Manuscritos inéditos de Husserl a los que el autor ha tenido acceso amplían esta distinción y profundizan en los diversos tipos de intencionalidad afectiva. Una vez ofrecida una visión de conjunto sobre la concepción husserliana de los sentimientos, se analiza la contribución de éstos – entendidos en uno u otro sentido – a la conformación de los distintos, por así decir, “niveles” de identidad personal. De este modo, se reconstruye una suerte de “arqueología” de la identidad personal que va desde lo que Husserl denomina “fluyente presente viviente” hasta lo que en este trabajo se llama “identidad personal en sentido eminente”.

Sartre, Goffman, and Fictional Nazis: Homogeneity as Identity in Martin Amis's Time's Arrow (1991) and Edgar Hilsenrath's The Nazi and the Barber (1971)
Authors: Pettitt Joanne
Published: December 2016

This article seeks to consider the role of homogeneity as a character trait in literary representations of Holocaust perpetrators. It will engage with Erving Goffman's “on face-work” and Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialist philosophy. The drawing together of these two distinct theoretical approaches, while not new, is based on the conceptions of “social performativity” and “nothingness” that inform both methodologies. Thus, this article is concerned with the depiction of Nazi protagonists whose identity is enmeshed with that of the wider social discourse but who, at the same time, display the potential for other versions of selfhood (what I call self-potentiality). The analysis concludes by examining the possible ethical implications of this kind of characterization.
Prologue
Authors: Campbell Robert L. , Sciabarra Chris Matthew
Published: December 2016

The coeditors of this special double issue of the journal focus attention on the need to reassess the work and legacy of Ayn Rand's friend and collaborator Nathaniel Branden (1930–2014). This introduction explains why they asked a diverse group of scholars to examine Branden's entire body of work—from his Randian period through his years as the “father” of the self-esteem movement.
The Movement That Began on a Dining Room Table
Authors: Scott Duncan
Published: December 2016

It is well known that Nathaniel Branden was instrumental in launching the Objectivist movement. But less well known is how unlikely that achievement was. This article throws a spotlight on what this one man—almost single-handedly—accomplished. The author argues that an Objectivist movement was hardly inevitable. Ayn Rand's lifelong focus had always been fiction and she had little interest in creating, or even allowing, a movement built around her ideas. Branden overcame her objections, proved that a movement based on her philosophy would succeed, and laid the groundwork for the efforts that continue today.
My Years with Nathaniel Branden
Authors: Southern Michael E.
Published: December 2016

The author discusses his relationship with Nathaniel Branden from several perspectives, as client, intern, professional associate, and friend. As a client of Branden's, he provides firsthand documentation of his experiences, which illuminates some of the important contributions Branden brought to the field of psychology. Among the “six pillars” Branden identified as the foundation of a healthy self-esteem, the author focuses primarily on self-acceptance. He further explores Branden's eclectic array of therapeutic tools, including sentence completions, sub-personality work, and experimental Energy Psychology. The author credits Branden for having a huge impact on his psychological and intellectual development.
Social Groups as Deleuzian Multiplicities
Authors: Hammond Paul William
Published: December 2016

This article applies Deleuze's metaphysics of multiplicities to groups of people, arguing that organized groups can be said to have mental states in the same sense as individuals. I begin by outlining the genealogy of Deleuze's use of the concept of multiplicity, beginning with Riemann and continuing through Bergson. Deleuze's transformation of these two thinkers' ideas results in a concept of any individual as a conjunction of two types of multiplicity, one relating to its material parts and one relating to its ideal or virtual parts. I then turn to Deleuze's theory of the mental faculties and argue that it describes a virtual multiplicity that, for Deleuze, is instantiated in human beings and other entities that can be said to think or have minds. I argue that many organized social groups have these mental faculties in the same way that individual people do and that therefore they can be said to have minds and mental states of their own, independent of the mental states of their members.
Defying the Facts: Justice and Being in Speculative Materialism
Authors: Davies Christopher
Published: December 2016

Quentin Meillassoux claims that physical resurrection of the dead is necessary and sufficient for justice to be realized in the world. This article presents two arguments against Meillassoux's claim: (1) the permanence argument, which suggests that events of injustice cannot be erased by what happens later, and (2) the priority argument, which suggests that death is not the chief injustice. The article also investigates the consequences of rejecting Meillassoux's view, asking whether a commitment to justice is still viable if it cannot be fully realized in the world.
“A Conspiracy of the Rich”: Dystopianizing the Real in More's Utopia
Authors: Blaim Artur
Published: December 2016

The article presents an analysis of the ways in which Europe, at first presented in Book One of More's Utopia as superior or at least comparable to the New World, is gradually turned into a dystopia as Hythloday increasingly concentrates on its faults and vices, especially when explicitly or implicitly contrasted with the ideal functioning of Utopia. This process of “dystopianizing” what for the readers constitutes the real culminates in Hythloday's concluding harangue projecting Europe as the ultimate sin-driven dystopia.

On Sequential Learning for Parameter Estimation in Particle Algorithms for State-Space Models
Authors: Ji Chunlin
Published: December 2016

Particle methods, also known as Sequential Monte Carlo, have been ubiquitous for Bayesian inference for state-space models, particulary when dealing with nonlinear non-Gaussian scenarios. However, in many practical situations, the state-space model contains unknown model parameters that need to be estimated simultaneously with the state. In this paper, We discuss a sequential analysis for combined parameter and state estimation. An online learning method is proposed to approach the distribution of the model parameter by tuning a flexible proposal mixture distribution to minimize their Kullback-Leibler divergence. We derive the sequential learning method by using a truncated Dirichlet processes normal mixture and present a general algorithm under a framework of the auxiliary particle filtering. The proposed algorithm is verified in a blind deconvolution problem, which is a typical state-space model with unknown model parameters. Furthermore, in a more challenging application that we call meta-modulation, which is a more complex blind deconvolution problem with sophisticated system evolution equations, the proposed method performs satisfactorily and achieves an exciting result for high efficiency communication.
The Role of Arabic Calligraphy in Forming Modern Interior Design
Authors: Hussein Mayyadah Fahmi
Published: December 2016

The new resources in producing and configuring a new form of interior architecture in Arab world are the main focus that can adapt with human needs. Many internal and external facades in Arab region buildings always use the Arabic calligraphy as the main feature of decoration, reflecting the power of letters in minimize the impact on the massive scale. Taking into the consideration, the geometrical shapes and forms of Arabic calligraphy they all have the same power to make new designs of methodologies and concepts. The paper aims to look for the result and the interpretations of integrating the interior design contemporary trends within the Arabic cultural context, and find out new creative ideas to reconfigure the modern form in an innovative approach. This paper was cured out by experimental approach at University of Petra/Department of Interior Design, in the academic year 2013-2014. It is as a part of basic design course work (8) samples of the model which were chosen in this experiment that is related to these complexity and simplicity. The students have done these eight forms by transforming two dimensional forms to three dimensional within those three levels of design models and bridging the western trends in design approaches within the spiritual and potentials of the eastern Arabic calligraphy, which is the main focus of this paper.Finally, the result of teaching methods through seminars was discussed by elaborating the contribution of Arabic calligraphy in producing a new design methodology for contemporary interior design models.

Geen behandeling gehad en toch resocialisatie
Authors: Oppedijk Dick W.
Published: December 2016

No treatment yet rehabilitation

A mentally ill patient who commits a violent crime may undergo forced forensic psychiatric admission. Without treatment, he remains dangerous. Sometimes still takes place rehabilitation even though he is not treated. The guidance should then be firmly focused on the continuing dangerousness, in order to prevent a recidivism. Taking the responsibility for the offense by the inmate, the adherence of him to surveillance and the risk of recidivism must be weighed and confronted together when taking the decision on continuation of the forced admission.

The External Monitor of Forensic Psychiatric Patients and duration of treatment in the forensic hospital: meaningful information from the forensic psychiatric trajectory

The External Monitor of Forensic Psychiatric Patients (EMT) aims to increase the knowledge of forensic psychiatric patients and the effectiveness of mandatory forensic treatment. In the EMT, five judicial organizations merged their anonymized digital data on (ex-)patients for research purposes. Data originated from the databases of the NIFP, DJI, AVT, 3RO and WODC. By merging this data, a larger part of the trajectory of a forensic psychiatric patient becomes known. Results show that it is possible to combine data from the digital databases of separate organizations for research and analysis purposes. To illustrate the opportunities of the use of merged data, an explorative study was conducted into a current subject. In this study, 218 ‘tbs-patients’ were included and several characteristics of patients of whom the mandatory forensic treatment has ended were compared with those of patients still under mandatory treatment. Suggestions are made for merging data files and for future research.
Tussen praat en daad: politiecultuur en politieoptreden
Authors: Landman Wouter

Between talk and action: police culture and police behavior

In police practice and science, police culture is often seen as having a significant influence on the behavior of police officers. With his article Police (canteen) subculture, Waddington challenged this perspective in 1999. He argued that the expressive talk in the canteen is an area of action that is separated from the behavior on the street. This led to a discussion in the police literature about how to interpret the relation between police culture and police behavior. In this article this discussion is enriched with new empirical research. This research resulted in 22 patterns that police officers use to make sense of their environment in order to act in that environment. A distinction is made in three environments: organization (canteen), street (surveillance) and situation (encounter with citizens). The distinction in different environments for sensemaking helps to re-interpret the relation between police culture and police behavior and shows that police culture and police behavior are related in rather complex ways. Police culture influences the behavior on the streets through the cultural knowledge they share in the canteen, and which they use to make sense of concrete situations in which they have to act. At the same time, the point made by Waddington seems also true. The patterns of interaction between police officers have also a function in affirming their worldview and beliefs, regardless of their behavior on the streets. His perspective is just to one dimensional. A multidimensional view on the relation between police culture and police behavior is preferable if we want to understand the relation between police culture and police behavior.
The	Geographical	Distribution	of	the	Personal	Networks	of	People	Living	in	Catalonia:	a	dual	society
Authors: Molina José Luis , Lozares Carlos , Lubbers Miranda J.
Published: December 2016

Based on a survey concerning personal networks of a sample of 416 people living in Catalonia we address two questions: First, are there differences between native-born and foreign-born residents in terms of the geographical repartition of their personal networks? Second, regarding active contacts providing support, where do they live? Our data show that on average 70% of the active contacts of native-born residents live in the same city whereas immigrants have more than 50% of their active contacts living in another city or country, regardless of the length of residence in Catalonia. Natives and immigrants also differ in the location of supportive network contacts, mostly non-locals in the latter case. With regard to the social interactions among nationals and immigrants, our results bring us to characterize the Catalan society as a “dual society”, with a social divide between the two groups. We suggest that this situation can be applicable to most of the countries where a “sub-functional class” is working in a dual labour market
Juventud y lectura: una investigación sobre adolescentes en Barcelona.
Authors: Travancas Isabel
Published: December 2016

El objetivo de este artículo es dar a conocer las primeras conclusiones referentes a una investigación hecha con adolescentes de Barcelona sobre su relación con la lectura, que se llevó a cabo en 2013 en dicha ciudad. El estudio de campo tuvo inicio con una presentación de datos acerca de la lectura en España y se concentró en cuatro escuelas públicas pertenecientes a cuatro regiones distintas: Ciudad Vieja: Raval y Barceloneta, Sarrià –Sant Gervasi– Gràcia y Zona Franca. En cada escuela se aplicaron, en una primera etapa, cuestionarios que trataban de la lectura y que sumaron un total de 248. Ya en la segunda etapa se realizaron entrevistas grupales a cerca de 45 jóvenes, y en la etapa final, se realizaron también algunas entrevistas individuales. La investigación me hizo ver que la lectura forma parte de la vida cotidiana de esos jóvenes de diferentes maneras: por intermedio de la escuela y de la obligación de leer, o como fruto de un hábito de lectura ya adquirido y que se relaciona con el placer. Se hizo evidente que los padres que leen ejercieron influencia en la formación de lectores. Además, otro elemento importante en el contexto español fue la dimensión simbólica y cultural de las bibliotecas de barrio, las cuales son bastante frecuentadas por los jóvenes en cuestión. Finalmente, pude observar que los jóvenes precisan mucho de un espacio para expresarse libremente y que la escuela realmente es vista como un lugar de obligación en el que la lectura no se asocia al placer. Este trabajo forma parte de una investigación más amplia que abarca un trabajo comparativo con adolescentes de Río de Janeiro.
La perspectiva del transnacionalisme en l’estudi de les migracions

Aquest text pretén ser una breu anàlisi sobre el significat que han donat els diferents autors del terme transnacionalisme i d’altres relacionats amb aquest dins l’estudi dels moviments migratoris, així com de la seva evolució i trets més destacats, a l’hora que es cerca de veure’n les limitacions i de fer-hi alguna aportació. Actualment no es concep l’estudi de les migracions sense tenir en compte la perspectiva del transnacionalisme i amb la seva aplicació les recerques sobre migració es veuen ampliades a una pluralitat d’espais per tal de poder observar l’abast de les relacions i de les activitats que mantenen els seus protagonistes. És així que una recerca sobre un col·lectiu migrat no pot obviar el significat, el contingut i l’ús d’aquest concepte
BRINE SPRINGS OF TYRAWA SOLNA WITHIN THE SKOLE UNIT OF THE OUTER CARPATHIANS
Authors: Rajchel Lucyna
Published: December 2016

Brines, or in other words chloride waters with the TDS content exceeding 35g/dm3, have been found and documented in the Outer Carpathians in many wells drilled during prospecting for oil and gas. Such waters are associated with all the tectonic units of the Outer Carpathians and their basement. In the Carpathians the brines occur only in four springs: two of them are located within the Magura Unit in Sól near Żywiec, and two others in Tyrawa Solna near Sanok within the Skole Unit. The genesis of the Carpathian brines is much complicated. They represent diagenetic waters (synsedimentary, paleoinfiltrational, dehydrative ones), i.e., primary waters altered by diagenetic processes and mixed in various proportions with infiltration waters. The brine springs in Tyrawa Solna and Sól are of important historic aspect as they were used for salt making. This fact is also proved by the names of the localities in which they occur.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL GEOLOGICAL MAP OF THE ENVIRONS OF SHCHYRETS NEAR LVIV
Authors: JARZYNA Adrian
Published: December 2016

The Badenian (Middle Miocene) gypsum occurring in the Carpathian Foredeep basin is exposed in a great number of locations in Ukraine, including the environs of Shchyrets, 25 km SSW of Lviv. In this area the potential stratotype of the Badenian gypsum is exposed, known as the Tyras Suite in Ukraine. The area is also of great scientific value because of the anhydrite rocks exposed at the Pisky quarry (near Shchyrets). Recently, unique forms of caves known as hydration caves or swelling caves have been formed in the weathering zone of this anhydrite. In the territory of Ukraine, both morfological and geological cartographic data are incomplete. Nowadays, available archival documents need updating. This paper describes the way of preparation of a new, updated version of the geological map of Shchyrets environs in three-dimensional space (3D). The topographic and archival geological maps were used, which were subjected to process of vectorization. The main part of the work was done in ArcGIS 10.1. Usefulness of the constructred 3D map for quantitative geomorphological and geological analysis is shown on selected examples.
APPLICATION OF GEOMORPHOMETRIC METHODS IN MINING-RELATED GROUND DEFORMATION ANALYSIS – AN EXAMPLE OF THE “NOWY KOŚCIÓŁ” COPPER MINE (“THE OLD COPPER BASIN”, NORTH-SUDETIC SYNCLINORIUM)
Authors: KOWALSKI Aleksander , MACIEJAK Krzysztof
Published: December 2016

During mapping work carried out since October 2015 in the Nowy Kościół area in the Kaczawskie Foothills, Western Sudetes, a number of morphological forms were identified and catalogued. They indicate surface transformation due to ceased mining activity. Several depressions and grabens were recognized during the digital terrain model and satellite images analysis. The range of deformation has been determined, and their spatial parameters and the maximal depression of the ground level within the mining area have been estimated and described. Such ground level depressions have not been examined in detail before. The main aim of the studies was to determine the usefulness of geomorphometric methods based on LiDAR digital elevation models (DEM) for the purposes of high quality description of surface deformation caused by underground mining operations.
DATA COLLECTING METHODS USED IN THE FIELD WORKS ON THE SITE OF THE WEATHERING ANHYDRITE ROCKS AT PISKY NEAR LVIV
Authors: ŁUGOWSKI Damian , JARZYNA Adrian , BĄBEL Maciej , NEJBERT Krzysztof
Published: December 2016

In the quarry at Pisky, 30 km south of Lviv, due to weathering (hydration) of anhydrite (CaSO4), and its transformation into gypsum (CaSO4•2H2O) the volume of the rock increases and the unique forms of relief form called the hydration domes. In the interiors of the growing domes chambers are formed that gradually transform into the caves called the hydration caves (or the swelling caves). At the same time the rocks dissolve and their surface is covered with rillenkarren. The unusual weathering and geomorphological processes taking place today require the accurate documentation and monitoring. In this paper we describe the optimum field methods used to document the zone of weathering. These methods include: method of benchmarks, method of 3D laser scanning, method of scanning with structured light LED, method of terrestrial photogrammetry, and the method of modelling of 2.5D objects using photogrammetry. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the methods used.

The latter maps were the basis for the geological maps prepared after 1945.
FROM FLOOD TO DROUGHT – CHANGES OF HYDROGEOLOGICAL SITUATION IN POLAND BETWEEN 2010–2015
Authors: KOWALCZYK Agnieszka , WESOŁOWSKI Piotr , WOŹNICKA Małgorzata
Published: December 2016

Hydrogeological and hydrological situation is primarily conditioned by climate and natural features, however, land use and catchment management are also important. Both droughts and low groundwater levels, as well as floods and flooding have been occurring in Poland in the past and they will certainly be repeated in the future. Undertaking measures aimed at effective mitigation of effects of such extreme events is possible. Nevertheless, this requires reliable and verifiable hydrogeological forecasting. In order to meet these expectations, the Polish Hydrogeological Survey undertakes cyclic assessments of hydrogeological situation in Poland on a national scale and carries out projections of its changes. This paper presents results of an analysis of hydrogeological situation in Poland between 2010–2015, during which a transition from high groundwater levels in 2010 and 2011 (related to flood events in 2010) to low levels (related to the drought in 2015) were observed. To present the spatio-temporal changes of hydrogeological situation in years 2010–2015 the authors analyze extreme groundwater levels in the considered period based on data from the national groundwater monitoring network of the Polish Geological Institute - National Research Institute.
GEOELECTRICAL IMAGING OF HYDROGEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF THE COASTAL ZONE OF WOLIN ISLAND
Authors: PACANOWSKI Grzegorz
Published: December 2016

The article discusses the problem of complex hydrogeological conditions in the coastal zone of Wolin Island in Poland. Hydrogeological situation of the island was imaged by geoelectrical methods. Groundwater of the coastal zone is in constant contact with the saline sea waters. This fact constitutes a threat of groundwater degradation and has an influence on the methods of groundwater protection. The resistivity of Quaternary permeable and impermeable deposits is significantly different in areas where groundwater is characterized by low values of total dissolved solids (TDS). This implies that hydrogeological classification of the results obtained from electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is not difficult. In the study area, the situation is completely opposite and much more complicated because of salty sea water ingress into aquifers. This affects the resistivity values of permeable and impermeable deposits, obtained from geophysical tests.
GEOLOGY OF THE AQUIFER AREAS OF AN INDUCED INFILTRATION INTAKE IN THE CITY OF WROCŁAW
Authors: WOJEWODA Jurand , KOWALSKI Aleksander , GOTOWAŁA Roman , SOBCZYK Artur
Published: December 2016

The paper presents the results of geological research in the area of induced infiltration aquifer in the city of Wrocław. Based on drilling and geophysical prospection (GPR) data, a 3D model of the aquifer has been developed, showing the architecture of the aquifer-forming sediments. The best hydrogeological and spatial-related parameters are displayed by gravels directly overlying the impermeable basement represented most likely by pre-Odra River sediments and filling fossil valley structures. A geological-physiographic map, compiled based on the LiDAR digital elevation model, revealed two youngest sedimentary valley systems related to the recent channels of the Odra and Oława rivers. The structure of these deposits is typical of meandering river cyclothems. The use of its anisotropy can significantly improve the efficiency of infiltration of surface water into the water-bearing and conducting gravels that constitute the main usable aquifer.
HYDROGEOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF INTENSIFICATION OF WATER EXTRACTION FOR THE CITY OF WROCŁAW IN THE MOKRY DWÓR REGION
Authors: WCISŁO Marek , BUCZYŃSKI Sebastian , STAŚKO Stanisław , OLICHWER Tomasz , TARKA Robert
Published: December 2016

A new concept of water abstraction is to reduce the available surface of water-bearing areas only to the municipality of Wrocław. Under the new conditions it is necessary to intensify exploitation. To determine the impact of the new abstraction on the hydrogeological conditions a numerical model has been developed using Visual MODFLOW. The study covered the northern part of the water-bearing area of 6.68 km2. The total model balance was 28.3 k m3/d. To determine the optimum system performance and identify the sources of recharge, prognostic simulations (SYM I, SYM II, SYM III, SYM IV) were carried out. The forecasts rely on both ever more far-reaching expansion of the system, taking into account the wells operating under the previous (SYM I–SYM III), and the introduction of new sources of recharge in the form of ponds and horizontal drainages (SYM IV). The new barrier wells will increase the total yield of up to 25.9 k m3/d to 30.1 k m3/d. Only new ponds and horizontal drainage (65.3 k m3/d) allow meeting the desired discharge (61.0 k m3/d). As a result, we expect significant deformation of the direction of water flow and an increase in water quality risk.

Článek se zabývá také nedávným nálezem Ústavního soudu, kterým byl zrušen § 13 odst. 2 zákona o registrovaném partnerství, který registrovaným partnerům znemožňoval osvojit dítě. Vzhledem k tomu, že tato otázka se netýká pouze České republiky, čtenář bude ve stručnosti seznámen také s evropskými kontexty otázky osvojení dětí registrovanými partnery.
A APLICAÇÃO DA TEORIA DA COCULPABILIDADE COMO ATENUANTE GENÉRICA DO ART. 66 DO CÓDIGO PENAL À LUZ DA JURISPRUDÊNCIA DOS TRIBUNAIS DE JUSTIÇA BRASILEIROS
Authors: Coelho Ícaro Gomes , Soares Filho Sidney
Published: December 2016

A Teoria da Coculpabilidade, invocada, a princípio, pelo argentino Eugenio Raúl Zaffaroni, objetiva partilhar a responsabilidade do indivíduo que comete um delito em determinadas circunstâncias, de modo que o agente tenha sua culpabilidade diminuída, ou até mesmo afastada, em razão das falhas sociais e estatais que, comprovadamente, o levaram a incorrer na atitude criminosa. O presente trabalho tem a finalidade de analisar a posição dos tribunais de justiça brasileiros acerca da (in)aplicabilidade da Teoria da Coculpabilidade do Estado enquanto atenuante genérica do art. 66 do Código Penal. O estudo jurisprudencial das 27 (vinte e sete) cortes do País acerca do tema objetiva subsidiar uma análise tanto quantitativa quanto qualitativa das decisões destes tribunais e de seus respectivos fundamentos à luz do que leciona o autor da referida teoria, bem como do papel do Judiciário enquanto poder independente e harmônico ao lado do Legislativo e do Executivo.
DILEMAS DA EPISTEMOLOGIA AMBIENTAL
Authors: Felício Munir Jorge
Published: December 2016

A crise de percepção como parte da crise do conhecimento científico é expandida pelas inversões provocadas pelo desenvolvimento da mercadoria. São dimensões interdependentes dos dilemas da epistemologia ambiental analisadas por este texto, tais como a personalização das mercadorias e a coisificação das pessoas. Essas e outras inversões obstaculizam a compreensão de aspectos imprescindíveis, referentes à questão ambiental atual, advindos de um determinado modelo de desenvolvimento impulsionado pela produção e pelo consumo. A epistemologia ambiental é parte de uma ciência impulsionada pela conflituosidade permanente devido à inversão que mantém a realidade invertida desde o desenvolvimento da mercadoria. Tal ciência se constitui por intermédio do exercício interdisciplinar tendo no diálogo dos saberes o seu dinamismo.
La légitimité des discours narratifs autochtones dans le développement des connaissances en travail social
Authors: Guay Christiane
Published: December 2016

Le renouvellement des pratiques d’intervention sociale au sein des communautés autochtones est un défi de taille en travail social. Il suppose, d’abord et avant tout, de s’interroger sur la place à donner aux savoirs autochtones et aux nouvelles avenues possibles pour le développement de la connaissance. En rendant compte de ses recherches auprès des Innus de la communauté d’Uashat mak Mani-Utenam, l’auteure montre en quoi la place et le rôle, au sein de ses recherches, des discours narratifs produits par les autochtones sont le résultat d’un ensemble de choix théoriques, méthodologiques et épistémologiques faits par elle en tant que chercheure allochtone. Elle constate également qu’un basculement théorique et épistémologique peut non seulement mettre en dialogue les discours produits par la recherche, mais aussi permettre d’accéder à une meilleure compréhension des formes contemporaines que prennent les modes de gestion du social lorsque ceux-ci sont portés par des autochtones et en milieu autochtone.
Le programme d’aide pour la chasse, la pêche et le piégeage
Authors: Marquis Jean-Philippe
Published: December 2016

Il existe peu d’études sur les Naskapis de Kawawachikamach et encore moins sur leur programme d’aide pour la chasse, la pêche et le piégeage. Pourtant, cela fait presque quatre décennies que ce programme aide et soutient les Naskapis qui n’ont pas les moyens de pratiquer des activités de subsistance traditionnelles, en plus d’approvisionner les membres de la communauté en gibier et en poisson. Son fonctionnement et ses activités ont-ils changé au cours des années ? Est-il toujours un élément clé de leur stratégie identitaire ? Cet article répond à ces questions en présentant un portrait du programme.
HATE CRIMES: THEORETICAL PARADIGM
Authors: Lalić Velibor
Published: December 2016

Hate crimes are criminal offences, often violent and destructive, where the perpetratoris motivated by prejudice against the social group to which the victim belongs. Hatecrimes not only do great harm to the victims, but to society as a whole. Considering thespecifi c motive of commission and consequences of hate crimes, they have been distinguishedas a distinct type of crime, which is generally agreed upon in literature, and argumentsthat corroborate it are more convincing that those disputing it. The solution of basicconceptual issues paves the way to critically examine other dilemmas, which is not agreedupon by all either in theory or practice. The paper concludes that despite the fact that hatecrimes have been the subject of research for more than two decades, it is still necessary tocritically examine the theoretical soundness and practical usability of this concept.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL DIMENSIONS AND PROBLEMATIC INTERNET USE AMONG YOUNG ADOLESCENTS

Published: December 2016

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between parental dimensions,estimated by children and problematic Internet use among young adolescents. Thestudy also examined the relationship between parental control of their children's onlineactivities and problematic Internet use. For this purpose, 218 eighth and ninth graderscompleted a questionnaire composed of general data and data on Internet use, devised bythe authors, as well as Internet Addiction Test (IAT) (Young, 1998a), and Children's Reportsof parental Behavior Inventory (CRPBI-57) (Keresteš, 1999). The results showed astatistically signifi cant negative connection between the acceptance by mothers and fatherand problematic Internet use among young adolescents. As predicted, we found astatistically signifi cant positive connection between psychological control by the motherand father and problematic Internet use. We found no positive connection between behavioralcontrol of the mother and father and problematic Internet use. There was no statisticalsignifi cance in Young's revised Internet Addiction Test scoring in adolescents, pertainingto the degree of controlled Internet use by parents.

Published: December 2016

Macropinocytosis is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells to take up extracellular liquid into large vesicles. It critically depends on the formation of a ring of protrusive actin beneath the plasma membrane, which develops into the macropinocytic cup. We show that macropinocytic cups in Dictyostelium are organised around coincident intense patches of PIP3, active Ras and active Rac. These signalling patches are invariably associated with a ring of active SCAR/WAVE at their periphery, as are all examined structures based on PIP3 patches, including phagocytic cups and basal waves. Patch formation does not depend on the enclosing F-actin ring, and patches become enlarged when the RasGAP NF1 is mutated, showing that Ras plays an instructive role. New macropinocytic cups predominantly form by splitting from existing ones. We propose that cup-shaped plasma membrane structures form from self-organizing patches of active Ras/PIP3, which recruit a ring of actin nucleators to their periphery.

The interfacial atomic structure of epitaxial ultrathin Co2FeAl/MgO(001) heterostructures, which is related to the interface-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), was investigated using scanning transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. Al atoms from the Co2FeAl layer significantly interdiffused into MgO, forming an Al-deficient Co–Fe–Al/Mg–Al–O structure near the Co2FeAl/MgO interface. This atomic replacement may have enhanced the PMA, which is consistent with the observed large perpendicular orbital magnetic moments of Fe atoms at the interface. This work suggests that control of interdiffusion at ferromagnet/barrier interfaces is critical for designing an interface-induced PMA system.

Published: December 2016

We report on the selective-area growth and characterization of wurtzite (WZ) InP/AlGaP core–multishell nanowires. Quantum well (QW) structures were fabricated in AlGaP multishells by changing the alloy composition. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the AlGaP multishells were grown with a WZ structure on the side of the WZ InP core. The lattice constants of the WZ InP core and WZ AlGaP shell were determined by X-ray diffraction. Cathodoluminescence studies showed that the WZ AlGaP QW with an Al composition of 20% exhibited green emissions at 2.37 eV. These results open the possibility of fabricating green light-emitting diodes using WZ AlGaP-based materials.
