Restrição de domínio, distributividade e a expressão kar em um dialeto de língua Kaingang / Domain restriction, distributivity and the expression kar in a dialect of the Kaingang language

Navarro, Michel Platiny Assis 25 May 2012 (has links)
Esta dissertação apresenta uma análise semântica, no paradigma da Semântica Formal, da (i) restrição de domínio no DP e da (ii) expressão kar, que veicula a ideia de totalidade, no dialeto paranaense da língua Kaingang, do tronco Macro-Jê, família Jê, falada nas regiões sul e sudeste do Brasil. Num primeiro momento, o artigo definido parece ter, no Kaingang Paranaense, uma distribuição não trivial: aplica-se primeiro a um determinante quantificacional e restringe, via essa combinação, o domínio do quantificador, tal como no Basco, Grego e Státimcets (Giannakidou 2003, Etxeberria 2005 e Etxeberria & Giannakidou 2009), línguas muito parecidas com o Kaingang no domínio nominal. Alguns dados, contudo, apontaram a análise em outra direção. Entendemos que certos padrões de comportamento semântico e sintático apresentado por kar nas sentenças, tal como sua neutralidade quanto à propriedade de distributividade e a possibilidade da conjunção de duas sequências de [NP+kar] sob um mesmo artigo definido (ao contrário do Basco, no qual a mesma estrutura é agramatical, sugerindo que os quantificadores universais em Basco criam um QP), são algumas das evidências que, no conjunto, dão suporte para a hipótese, defendida nesta dissertação, de que kar, no Kaingang Paranaense, parece ser um modificador - à la Lasersohn (1999) -, não tendo, por isso, uma força quantificacional própria. A função semântica de kar seria de controlar o quanto de desvio da verdade é pragmaticamente permissível. Como consequência desta análise, no Kaingang Paranaense o artigo definido não operaria sobre um determinante quantificacional, mas sim sobre um NP. O que aponta no sentido de que os artigos definidos ag/fag (os/as) no Kaingang Paranaense, em contextos em que eles co-ocorrem com kar, não perderiam a sua função max, i.e., de formadores de indivíduo a partir de um conjunto, para funcionar meramente como um operador preservador de tipo e restritor de domínio adjungido ao determinante quantificacional, como proposto por Giannakidou 2003, Etxeberria (2005) e Etxeberria & Giannakidou (2009) para o Basco e o Grego. Ag/fag continuariam sendo artigos definidos clássicos ocupando o núcleo de uma projeção DP e kar um modificador. Também discutimos brevemente algumas das vantagens e problemas de se tentar estender esta análise para o Basco, Grego e Státimcets. E, por último, investigamos o comportamento de kar na sentença, as possíveis leituras quando da sua interação com indefinidos, numerais, tipos de predicados e o operador distributivo introduzido via reduplicação verbal. Com base nos dados, nossa proposta é de que - em função de a leitura distributiva, na maioria dos exemplos, ser permitida pelos informantes somente quando houve reduplicação verbal - kar é neutro quanto à propriedade da distributividade e que o operador distributivo introduzido por reduplicação verbal tem escopo sobre todo o VP. / This dissertation presents, in the paradigm of formal semantics, a semantic analysis of both (i) the phenomenon of domain restriction in the DP and (ii) the expression kar, which conveys the idea of totality, in a dialect of the Kaingang language, a Brazilian language from the Macro-Jê Stock, Jê family, spoken in southern and southeastern Brazil. Although, at first, the definite article in Kaingang seems to have a non-trivial distribution: it applies first to a quantificational expression, and via such combination restricts the domain of quantifier, such as in Basque, Greek and Státimcets (Giannakidou 2003, Etxeberria 2005 and Etxeberria & Giannakidou 2009), some data pointed the analysis in another direction. Patterns of semantic and syntactic bevavior presented by kar in some sentences, such as its neutralite regarding the property of distributivity and the possibility of conjoining two [NP + kar] sequences under the same definite article (unlike Basque, which does not allow such structure, suggesting that in Basque the universal quantifier creats a QP), seem to be as a whole evidences for the hypothesis, advocated in this thesis, that the expression kar may be a modifier - à la Lasersohn (1999) - and as such would not have a quantificational force of its own. The semantic function of kar would be to control how much deviation from the truth conditions of the sentences is pragmatically allowed. As a result of this analysis, the definite articles ag/fag in Kaingang do not operate on a quantificational expression, as in Basque and Greek, but on the NP. Such fact suggests that the definite articles in Kaingang, in contexts they co-occur with kar, do not lose their max function in order to work merely as a type preserver and a domain restrictor combined with a quantificational expression, as proposed by Giannakidou 2003, Etxeberria (2005) e Etxeberria & Giannakidou (2009) for Basque and Greek. Ag/fag would still be a classical definite article occupying the head of a DP projection and kar a modifier, instead of a universal quantifier. We also discuss briefly some of the advantages and problems of trying to extend this analysis to the Basque, Greek and Státimcets languages. And lastly, we investigated the behavior of kar in the sentence, its interaction with indefinites, numerals, types of predicates and the distributive operator introduced via verbal reduplication. Based on such data, once distributive readings were permitted by the informants only via verbal reduplication, our proposal is that kar is neutral regarding the property of distributivity and that the distributive operator introduced via verbal reduplication has scope over the VP.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Sandra Coimbra da Silva Tavares.pdf: 5264968 bytes, checksum: 763385db1dc379dd6f52a6f5ef94af7b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-09-16 / The research is inserted on the text and discourse search field of the oral and written genre. The main objective is to identify the passions of the lecturer (student) uses to compose his opinion article and also identify and examinate how develops the construction the nearly logics arguments during the adolescence period. For this result, has been analyzed school writings (opinion articles) made by nineteen students, among boys and girls, with ages between sixteen and seventeen years old, from the second year of a public state high school, not in downtown area, located in Taboão da Serra SP. The methodology used to develop this research is the rhetorical analysis of eight opinion articles and passion identifying of the current arguments in another eleven of them. The theoretical base for this analysis is focused on Aristóteles studies (2013) about passions and from Perelman & Olbrechts-Tyteca (2014) about arguments. The results acquired by analyzing school writings, appoint the need of a new sight upon to the adjustments made on the text produced by those students, with the purpose of teachers and students notice the argumentative route chosen, and through this way, will have productions better argued over, structured and grounded, essential characteristics to the opinion article within of the referred age and class / Essa pesquisa insere-se na linha de pesquisa Texto e discurso nas modalidades oral e escrita. O objetivo é identificar as paixões que o orador (aluno) movimenta ao redigir seu artigo de opinião e, também, identificar e examinar como desenvolve a construção dos argumentos quase-lógicos na adolescência. Para tal, analisam-se redações (artigos de opinião) elaboradas por dezenove alunos, entre rapazes e moças, com idades que variam entre dezesseis e dezessete anos, do segundo ano do Ensino Médio, de uma escola estadual da periferia da cidade de Taboão da Serra - SP. A metodologia utilizada para desenvolver essa pesquisa é a análise retórica oito artigos de opinião e identificação das paixões e dos argumentos recorrentes em outros onze. A base teórica para a análise centra-se nos estudos de Aristóteles (2013) sobre as paixões e de Perelman & Olbrechts-Tyteca (2014) sobre os argumentos. Os resultados obtidos na análise das redações apontam para a necessidade de um novo olhar para as correções dos textos produzidos pelos alunos, a fim de que alunos e professores observem o percurso argumentativo escolhido e, dessa maneira, garantam uma produção melhor argumentada, estruturada e fundamentada, características fundamentais ao artigo de opinião dentro da referida idade e série

\'Está lá tudo\': o constructo literário nas crônicas de José Saramago / \"It\'s all there\": the literary construct in José Saramago\'s articles

Saulo Gomes Thimóteo 09 December 2014 (has links)
José Saramago, em sua obra, procura construir uma compreensão do mundo (em seus aspectos políticos, sociais e humanos) a partir do envolvimento do Homem com a Palavra. Nas crônicas, produzidas ao longo de oito anos (1968-1975), essa relação é explorada por vários enfoques, uma vez que esse gênero permite uma oscilação do trivial ao filosófico, do riso à melancolia, do irônico ao panfletário, tornando-se uma espécie de \"laboratório de estilos\" para o futuro Nobel. Com isso, as crônicas constituem-se como elemento central na formação do escritor, sendo responsáveis por construir aspectos da persona saramaguiana. No presente trabalho, três eixos principais se estabelecem: a Linguagem, a Paisagem e a Viagem; e é a partir deles que todo o jogo literário saramaguiano se estabeleceria. / José Saramago, in his work, intends to build an understanding of the world (in its political, social and human aspects) from the interaction between Man and Word. His articles, published from 1968 to 1975, explored that relationship through many approaches, reflecting a genre that allows a fluctuation from trivial to philosophical subjects, from laughter to sorrow, from irony to pamphleteering. This genre became a form of styles laboratory for the future Nobel prize winner. Thus, the articles contains in them the main elements of the writers formation, being responsible for building aspects of Saramagos persona. In this work, three main axes are established: the Language, the Landscape/Prospect and the Journey; and is on them that all of Saramago\'s literary puzzle is produced.

Acordo de voto: elementos e vinculação / Voting agreements: elements and binding effects.

Carvalho, Eduardo Henrique Pinto de 27 May 2013 (has links)
Esta dissertação procura analisar os acordos de acionistas tipificados pelo art. 118 da Lei nº 6.404/76, mais especificamente, os acordos que regulam o exercício do voto e/ou o exercício do poder de controle. O interesse pelo tema é decorrente da falta de consenso da doutrina e da jurisprudência acerca do assunto, o que contribuiu fortemente para a insegurança jurídica no uso do instituto. Além disso, tal falta de consenso foi acentuada com a reforma da lei acionária pela Lei nº 10.303/01. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho busca, a partir da análise da doutrina pátria e da doutrina estrangeira, delimitar corretamente os principais conceitos acerca do acordo de voto. Com este objetivo, o presente trabalho começa com a análise das características históricas das sociedades anônimas, focada na definição de competência e interação entre os órgãos da companhia, resultando na conclusão de que no direito brasileiro, não há uma divisão fixa de competências entre os órgãos e há hierarquia entre tais órgãos, prevalecendo a assembleia geral de acionistas. Nos demais capítulos, o presente trabalho analisa: (a) o conceito de partes, estabelecendo que apenas acionistas podem ser partes em acordo de votos, (b) o objeto, reconhecendo o exercício do direito de voto e o exercício do poder de controle como objetos legítimos, admitindo-se assim a diferenciação entre acordo de comando e acordo de defesa, (c) as delimitações do objeto, demonstrando que interesse social e abuso de poder de controle são dois fortes delineadores do conteúdo dos acordos de voto, e (d) os efeitos dos acordos de voto, especificamente os acordos de defesa e os acordos de comando, vez que podem irradiar efeitos para os órgãos administrativos da companhia. Espera-se que este trabalho possa contribuir com o debate acerca do tema acordo de voto. / This dissertation endeavors an investigation on shareholders agreements set forth by Article 118 of Federal Law N. 6,404/76, more precisely, shareholders agreements that regulates the exercise of voting rights and/or the control over the company. The interest for the subject developed in view of the nonexistence of an agreement on the matter, either by the legal doctrine or the case law. Furthermore, the dissensions were heightened by the modifications Federal Law N. 10,303/01 implemented to Federal Law N. 6,404/76. In this sense, the present study pursues to correctly circumscribe the main concepts regarding voting agreements, through an analysis of Brazilian and foreign legal doctrine. With such purpose, this work starts with an examination of historical characteristics of joint-stock corporations, focusing on the definition of the powers regarding each body of the company, and on the interaction between them, coming to the conclusion that, under Brazilian law, there is no fixed partition of powers between the bodies, but there is hierarchy between them, being the shareholders meeting the prevalent body. Moreover, this dissertation investigates: (a) the concept of parties, concluding that only shareholders can be parties in voting agreements; (b) the object of shareholders agreements, recognizing the exercise of voting rights and the control over the company as lawful objects, acknowledging, therefore, the difference between commanding agreements and defense agreements; (c) the delimitations of the object, demonstrating that social interest and abuse of control over the company are two main aspects that bound the content of voting agreements; and (d) the effects of shareholders agreements, more specifically, the commanding agreements and defense agreements, considering that they may be effective over administrative bodies of the company. This work is expected to contribute with the debate regarding the matter on voting agreements.

A tutela penal dos direitos autorais / Criminal protection of copyright

Nascimento, Elisa Gattás Fernandes do 24 March 2015 (has links)
O presente estudo tem como objeto a norma contida no artigo 184 do Código Penal, consistente no crime de violar direitos de autor e os que lhe são conexos. A ideia central da pesquisa é perceber as raízes e a finalidade da criminalização das condutas violadoras que, em certa extensão, revelam a eventual dignidade do bem jurídico penal e, aliada à eventual necessidade, fundamenta a manutenção do dispositivo no ordenamento jurídico. Nesse contexto, a preliminar delimitação do bem jurídico penalmente protegido se mostra indispensável para a compreensão da matéria proibida, bem como para o processo de interpretação casuístico. Contudo, o tema é controverso, haja vista que a criminalização das infrações aos direitos intelectuais de forma geral não é consenso entre os penalistas ao redor do mundo, assim como a efetiva aplicação das respectivas penalidades pelos magistrados brasileiros. Isso porque equivocadamente se entende que os direitos de autor seriam, em analogia aos demais direitos intelectuais, uma espécie de direito de propriedade, e a incriminação das condutas infratoras teria por finalidade única a tutela do direito exclusivo de exploração econômica de sua criação ou invento. Da referida análise concluiu-se que, diferentemente dos direitos de Propriedade Industrial, os autorais não se resumem a direitos de cunho patrimonial. O sistema francês denominado Droit d Auteur, absorvido pela legislação brasileira, está guiado para a proteção do autor enquanto criador, de sua personalidade e individualidade, e se concretiza pela concessão de um direito exclusivo de participação pela utilização econômica de sua criação. Trata-se, pois, de um Direito sui generis, haja vista a índole imaterial de seu objeto, bem como sua natureza jurídica peculiar, que o aparta dos demais direitos privados. Portanto, sua colocação em risco produz, de forma mediata, prejuízos a toda a sociedade, como o desincentivo dos esforços e investimentos realizados por sujeitos interventores no processo criativo e comercial, e, consequentemente, a diminuição do progresso técnico, econômico, cultural e social. Concluiu-se, desse modo, que os direitos de autor são dignos da tutela penal ante a seriedade das lesões aos direitos de autor e as consequências nocivas para o livre desenvolvimento da comunidade. Igualmente, a tutela faz-se necessária e adequada diante da falibilidade dos meios de proteção menos gravosos, tal qual a via administrativa e a civil. Por outro lado, criticou-se a previsão normativa contida no caput do artigo 184, em termos de oportunidade, porque a incriminação genérica de toda a esfera do Direito de Autor degenera a finalidade do Direito Penal e, em termos de legalidade, porque carece da determinação, fundamental ao tipo incriminador, visto que não descreve minimamente a conduta típica de modo a permitir ao destinatário da norma orientar a sua conduta. Tais desacertos trazem consequências danosas tanto para o equilíbrio do sistema penal quanto para a aplicação concreta da norma ao fato concreto. Para tanto, sugeriu-se a criação de uma abertura legal para que a prática da administração da justiça permita, em algumas situações nas quais o castigo penal resulte desproporcional ou ineficaz, minimizá-lo, substituí-lo ou, inclusive, afastá-lo. Do mesmo modo, o sistema penal deve hierarquizar os direitos intelectuais no sentido de atribuir-lhes os valores sociais, econômicos, materiais e espirituais que lhes tenham sido dados pelos ordenamentos jurídicos internacionais, constitucionais e legislativos especiais. / The object of the present study is the provision of the article 184 of the Brazilian Criminal Code, consistent on the crime of violating copyright and neighbor rights. The central idea of the research is to identify the background and the purposes of copyright violating conducts criminalization. That understanding, to some extent, reveals the dignity of the legal protected right and, allied with its potential need, justifies the maintenance of the referred provision in the legal system. In that context, the preliminary delimitation of the legal protected right under criminal law shows itself to be essential to comprehend the forbidden behaviors, as well as to the process of interpretation on a case by case basis. The topic is controversial, however, since the criminalization of intellectual property rights infringements is not in consensus among the indoctrinators around the world, as well as the effective execution of the respective penalties this is also the case in the Brazilian magistrates. The reason for that is because copyright is erroneously considered by some a sort of property right similarly to other intellectual property rights and the sole purpose of criminalization would consist on the protection of an exclusive right regarding to the economic exploitation of their creation or invention. From this analysis it was concluded that, unlike industrial property rights, copyright may not be reduced to patrimonial rights. The French system called Droit d\' Auteur, absorbed by the Brazilian legislation, seeks the protection of the author as creator - his personality and individuality - and is materialized by the granting of an exclusive right of participation in the economic use of his creation. This is, therefore, a sui generis right, given the intangible nature of its object, as well as its peculiar legal nature, which separates it from the other private rights. Hence, the threat to such rights produces, indirectly, losses for the whole of society, as the discouragement of the efforts and investments made by the creativity industry, and, subsequently, a reduction in technical, economic, cultural and social progress of the country. It was concluded, therefore, that copyright justifies a criminal protection in face of the seriousness of the injuries to the authors and the harmful consequences for the free development of the community. Also, the criminal safeguard is necessary and appropriate given the failure of other protection fields less severe, such as administrative and civil spheres. On the other hand, the normative contained in the head of article 184 it was criticized, in terms of opportunity and legitimacy. In relation to opportunity because the generic criminalization of the broad field of copyright degenerates the purposes of criminal law. Additionally, vis-à-vis legitimacy, it lacks determination - vital to the incriminating articles , since it does not minimally describe the illegal conduct in order to allow the receiver to guide his behavior. Such misunderstandings have harmful consequences to the balance of the criminal system, as well as to the concrete application of the criminal law. As a result, the creation of a legal breach has been suggested so that the practice of Justices administration allows - in some situations where the criminal punishment will result disproportionate or ineffective to minimize it, replace it or even not to consider it. Likewise, the criminal system must designate the intellectual rights in order to assign them the social, economic, spiritual and material values that have been given by international legal systems, special laws and constitution.

O ensino do artigo de opinião: das teorias às atividades didáticas dos apostilados da rede pública paulista / The teaching of opinion articles: from the theories to the didactic activities of booklets in São Paulos public schools

Carvalho, Sílvia Mamede de 04 August 2015 (has links)
Esta dissertação trata de questões voltadas ao ensino do gênero artigo de opinião no 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental e tem por propostas conhecer e explicitar de que modo os alunos são orientados quanto à aprendizagem desse gênero e quais resultados se observam quanto aos textos produzidos por esses estudantes. Para tal fim, procedemos à análise do Currículo Oficial de Língua Portuguesa, adotado nas escolas da rede estadual de ensino do Estado de São Paulo, além de descrevermos e analisarmos as atividades propostas para a aprendizagem do artigo de opinião contidas no Caderno do Aluno. Nos textos produzidos pelos alunos, examinamos a estrutura do artigo de opinião e o uso estratégico da língua portuguesa em termos de persuasão. A base teórica que fundamentou nossa investigação está pautada na definição de texto e gênero do discurso de Bakhtin (2011[1959-61]), que concebe a linguagem como um conjunto de práticas sociointeracionais, realizadas por sujeitos históricos e reconhece os gêneros como elementos fundamentais para a comunicação humana. Quanto às estratégias de ensino de produção textual recorremos a Koch (2012; 2013; 2014). No que tange à Argumentação, conceitos e procedimentos que necessitam ser mobilizados na produção de textos argumentativos, recorremos aos pressupostos da Nova Retórica, elaborados por Perelman e Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005[1958]) e, também aos estudos de Amossy (2011), Aquino (1997) e Koch (2011) referentes ao trabalho com estratégias argumentativas e critérios para a análise de textos argumentativos. Como resultado, observamos um distanciamento entre o que está prescrito no Currículo de Língua Portuguesa e as atividades propostas aos alunos para a aprendizagem do artigo de opinião. Verificamos, ainda, que as Situações de Aprendizagem analisadas não contribuem para uma aprendizagem significativa desse gênero discursivo, uma vez que os encaminhamentos propostos para o ensino da produção textual não possibilitam que os alunos vivenciem a escrita argumentativa como prática social significativa. Quanto à análise das produções textuais dos alunos, constatamos que, embora sejam capazes de assumir um posicionamento claro a respeito da polêmica apresentada, os estudantes apresentam dificuldades tanto na estruturação do artigo de opinião, quanto no emprego dos fatores linguísticos e discursivos que contribuem para a construção da coerência textual. / This dissertation deals with matters related to the teaching of opinion articles in the 9th grade of Elementary Schools. It aims at recognizing and rendering explicit the way in which students are oriented with regard to the learning of this genre and the results that can be obtained from students articles. In order to achieve such a goal, the Official Portuguese Curriculum, which is followed by the schools run by the State Government of São Paulo, was analyzed, and the activities proposed in the Caderno do Aluno (Students Booklet) that intend to enable students to write opinion articles were described and analyzed. The structure and strategic uses of Portuguese in texts written by students were also examined. The theoretical basis for the research was Bakhtins (2011[1959-61]) definition of text and discourse genre, which conceives of language as a set of socio-interactional practices carried out by historical subjects and sees genres as elements that are fundamental to human communication. Kochs (2012; 2013; 2014) works were also used in order to account for the teaching of oral production. With regard to argumentation, concepts and procedures that are necessary for the production of argumentative texts, the research resorted to the theoretical assumptions of the New Rhetoric, developed by Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005[1958]), as well as to studies by Amossy (2011), Aquino (1997) and Koch (2011), which deal with argumentative strategies and criteria for the analysis of argumentative texts. The results obtained suggest that there is a gap between what is prescribed by the Portuguese Curriculum and the activities aiming at the learning of opinion articles that are proposed to students. It was observed that the Learning Situations which were analyzed do not contribute to the meaningful learning of the genre, since the practices do not allow students to experience argumentative writing as a meaningful social practice. As far as the analysis of texts written by students is concerned, it is noticeable that although pupils are able to take stands in relation to the controversial issues they are put in contact with, they have difficulty both in structuring their texts and in employing linguistic and discursive factors that contribute to the construction of textual coherence.

Do deficiencies in data privacy threaten our autonomy and, if so, can informational privacy rights meet this threat?

Bernal, Paul Alexander January 2011 (has links)
This thesis sets out a model to examine how the internet functions. 'The symbiotic web' suggests a symbiotic relationship between corporations that have built business models dependent upon the gathering of personal data from people, and the individuals themselves who have begun to rely on apparently 'free' services (from search to email, social networking to YouTube). Having set out the model, the thesis looks at its implications: how it has contributed to many, both the positive and negative, developments on the internet in recent years, but also driven the mass gathering, use and holding of personal data. The symbiotic web is currently essentially beneficial to both businesses and individuals, but there are significant risks attached - risks associated with the accumulation of data and risks that the symbiotic relationship could become negative and parasitic, putting individuals' privacy and autonomy at risk. The implications of this model are examined through the use of case studies: the dispute between Google and the Article 29 Working Party over data retention, Phorm's 'Webwise' behavioural targeting system, and a number of smaller case studies about data vulnerability from the HMRC data disc loss to the ACS:Law hack/leak. The thesis suggests the development and use of specific rights designed for the internet to address the associated risks: a 'right to roam the internet with privacy', a right to monitor those who monitor us, and a 'right to delete data'. These rights would be set out as principles rather than enacted and enforced as laws, and brought into play through Murray's model of symbiotic regulation. These rights would support the positive development of the web symbiosis and encourage and shape new business models that are more supportive of individual autonomy and privacy.

Respect for the inviolability of state territory

Ezenwajiaku, Josephat Chukwuemeka January 2017 (has links)
This dissertation examines the problems associated with the restrictive interpretation of Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations (hereinafter referred to as UN Charter) to the threat or use of force. This restrictive approach appears no longer helpful in furthering the maintenance of international peace and security. Equally, it does not adequately protect the entire territory of States for the following two reasons. Firstly, the UN member States shelter in the first limb of Article 2(4) to engage in conducts that violate the territory of other States while claiming subservience to the provision of Article 2(4). This occurs through mere frontier incidents, covert and overt support of the activities of the non-State actors. However, the State practice shows that such conducts are always resisted by the victim State no matter how insignificant the breach might be. Secondly, the UN member States have asserted their jurisdiction in cyberspace by adopting appropriate legislation to regulate the cyberspace activities and to curb cybercrimes. To legislate is an exercise of the sovereign power which is by nature, territorial. Thus, it is difficult to equate the non-kinetic character of the cyberspace activities to physical armed attack if Article 2(4) were narrowly construed. Because of these developments, this dissertation advocates for a broad interpretation of Article 2(4), which is respect for the inviolability of State territory. The fact that State practice is repugnant to mere frontier incidents indicates that the restrictive approach is unacceptable. Moreover, Article 2(7) of the UN Charter which prohibits intervention in the internal affairs of a State supports a broad approach. This dissertation adds to the scholarly debate as to whether Article 2(4) applies in cyberspace. It answers in the affirmative if the international community accepts the broad interpretation it proposes. Otherwise, the answer would be negative given the non-kinetic nature of the cyberspace activities.

Saudi researchers' perspectives on the ethics of children's participation in research : an exploration using Q-methodology

Bashatah, Lina January 2016 (has links)
In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), little is known about Saudi educational researchers' perspectives concerning the issue of ethics when recruiting children to participate in research. It has come to light that researchers use children to collect their data from but do not give them the opportunity to express their wishes regarding participation in that research, and no ethical consent form is specifically required for children's use unless the topic of research is sensitive. Accordingly, in the context of KSA, this research aims at identifying and exploring educational researchers' perspectives about children's rights when conducting research with children. This research used two methods: Q-methodology and interview. Q-methodology was used to determine the viewpoints of educational researchers working in education departments at two universities in Riyadh city in the KSA (King Saud University and Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University). Fifty-two (52) female educational researchers sorted 54 Q-methodology statements, according to personal opinion, ranging from (+5) most agree to (-5) most disagree, while the interviews were conducted with three policymakers from the National Commission for Childhood and the Ministry of Education. Following analysis of the data, a number of findings were identified from the Q analysis, five factors, and the interview analysis: the need for more childhood and children's rights studies; the challenges facing researchers when including children as research participants; the weak belief pertaining to children's capabilities; the low level of awareness of children's participation rights and how the ethics process is in the KSA. These findings illustrate the acceptance of ethics as a process in research. Finally, the effectiveness of using Q-methodology as an approach was confirmed. This research is in a position to inform the Saudi research community and policymakers about current understandings and practices in terms of children's participation in research. The viewpoints that emerged strongly indicate agreement with the concept of ethics when children participate in research. Educational researchers call for ethics guidelines and for them to be compulsory in the KSA and, more significantly, policymakers support their demand.
