Šiuolaikinės įmonių teisės modernizavimo bei liberalesnio reguliavimo tendencijos lėmė naujo teisinio instituto įtvirtinimą Lietuvos įmonių teisės sistemoje. Kaip kiekvieno naujo socialinio teisinio reiškinio, taip ir mažosios bendrijos įtvirtinimas šiandieninėje praktikoje lemia tam tikrą neaiškumą, neapibrėžtumą, mokslinių žinių stygių apie naują Lietuvos įmonių teisės institutą. Šiame darbe, remiantis Lietuvos bei užsienio doktrinos analize, siekiama atskleisti mažosios bendrijos sampratą, požymius bei reikšmę Lietuvos įmonių teisės kontekste. Pirmoje šio darbo dalyje autorė atskleidžia mažosios bendrijos bei naujų užsienio valstybių verslo vystymo formų atsiradimo priežastis. Antrojoje dalyje yra analizuojama partnerystės bei iš jos kildinamos mažosios bendrijos sampratų santykis, atliekant lyginamąją pastarąsias sampratas kvalifikuojančių požymių analizę, atskleidžiami mažosios bendrijos ir partnerystės koncepcijų skirtumai. Trečioje dalyje charakterizuojami pagrindiniai mažosios bendrijos reglamentavimo ypatumai. Šioje dalyje atskleidžiami mažųjų bendrijų reguliavime per plačiai taikomo asmeninėmis savybėmis grįsto bendradarbiavimo principo trūkumai, ribotos dalyvių atsakomybės doktrinos įtvirtinimo priežastys ir reikšmė mažosios bendrijos teisiniam savarankiškumui, kapitalo palaikymo doktrinos eliminavimo bei lanksčios valdymo struktūros įtvirtinimo tikslingumas. Mažosios bendrijos bei kitų panašių užsienio valstybių naujų verslo vystymo formų ypatumų analizė...

As with each new social legal phenomenon, the consolidation of a small partnership in today’s practice results in particular ambiguity, uncertainty, the lack of scientific knowledge about a new Lithuanian company law institute. With reference to the analysis of Lithuanian and foreign doctrine, this paper aims to reveal the concept and characteristics of a small partnership, and its importance in the context of Lithuanian company law. In the first part of this paper the author reviews the origin causes of a small partnership and business development forms of new foreign countries. The second part analyses the relation between partnership and a small partnership that derives from it. The comparative analysis of characteristics that qualify the latter concepts, the differences between small partnership and partnership concepts are revealed. The third part characterizes the main features of a small partnership regulation. This part describes the lacks of collaboration principles that are based on personal characteristics and widely applicable in the regulation of small partnerships, this part also reviews the reasons for consolidation of a limited liability doctrine, the importance for a legal autonomy of a small partnership, the expedience of the elimination of capital maintenance...

The intellectual and political roots of present-day China lie in the late imperial era and the transition to modern statehood. As the last chain of the thousands years of dynastic rule in China, the Qing Dynasty ended in 1911 with a revolution. Even though the Republican regime was immediately established after their revolution, it took three decades until thenew government (People&rsquo / s Republic of China) achieved full sovereignty on the territory. The thesis argues that the 1911 Revolution is a major turning point in Chinese transformation not only because of the regime change but also the ideological shift towards modern statehood. In this study, first, the social forces and actors on the eve of the Revolution are analyzed. The gentry-domination of society and the power relations within the forces involved in the Revolution - especially the intellectuals and the military - appear to be the two major reasons why the transition was not completed with the Revolution. The second focus of the study: the process of breaking with the past. In other words, how was the shift in people&rsquo / s mind achieved? In China, this turning point did not coincide with the 1911 Revolution and/or regime change. It came later in 1910s, reaching its peak in 1919, with the New Culture Movement of the May Fourth intellectuals. There had been some influential intellectuals building a nationalist discourse even before the May Fourth Movement (e.g. Liang Qichao, reformist and ideologue in late Qing dynasty) but the radical and outspoken tone of the New Culture Movement achieved the grounds for a shift in minds. I will briefly analyze the intellectual work of the period and its politicization. A special emphasis is given on Sun Yat-sen&rsquo / s political and intellectual contribution to the transition since he was not only a major political activist but also a theoretician whose works (Three Principles of People) have been influential on China&rsquo / s nation-building process.

Orientador: Lucia Helena de Oliveira Gerardi / Banca: Darlene Aparecida de Oliveira Ferreira / Banca: Walquíria Kruger Corrêa / Resumo: Com base em pesquisa, que envolveu a realização de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, faz-se um estudo das Unidades de Produção Familiar, do 20 Distrito, Vila Toroquá, São Francisco de Assis-RS. Para melhor compreender o contexto em que se situa o estudo, aborda-se o seu processo de colonização do Rio Grande do Sul. Destaca-se o processo recente de modernização da agricultura no Brasil, apresentando uma breve caracterização do setor agrícola, salientando-se a diversificação de atividades e a predominância da agricultura familiar. Trabalha-se, a seguir, a questão do desenvolvimento sustentável e da sustentabilidade, procurando reter conceitos e perspectivas, ao mesmo tempo em que se agregam aspectos que indicam um quadro de transição para a sustentabilidade nas relações homem-meio. A partir da revisão de literatura, caracterizam-se de forma sucinta as formulações teóricas que embasam a compreensão de categorias relacionadas com o tema de estudo. Em continuidade, a partir dos dados levantados na pesquisa de campo e com base nas categorias estudadas, examinam-se as Unidade de Produção Familiar, seu funcionamento, suas dificuldades e potencialidades. Ressalta-se, nas conclusões, que as Unidades de Produção Familiar locais se constituem num espaço em construção com vistas à sustentabilidade no desenvolvimento rural. / Abstract: This study based on Family Production Units has counted on a previously prepared series of questions to gather data on the Second District, Vila Toroquá, São Francisco de Assis-RS. In order to best comprehend the context of this study, the process of colonization of the Rio Grande do Sul State has been approached. The recent process of Agriculture Modernization in Brazil is shown to present a brief characterization of the agricultural sector, especially as far as the variety of activities and the predominant family agriculture is concerned. The issue of the sustainable development and sustainability is presented as a means of bearing both concepts and perspectives as well as aspects that indicate a transition framework to sustain the relationship of man and the environment. Theorical formulation is briefly drawn from literature review, and upon such formulation the comprehension of issues related to the theme of this work is based. Once all data has been collected in the field, and based on the categories herein proposed, the Family Production Units are then examined in terms of their operations, their difficulties and their potential. Last but not least, the author will conclude that the Family Production Units materialize in a space currently being contructed aiming at the development of the rural area. / Mestre

Fosfor är ett nödvändigt näringsämne inom jordbruket, trots detta är vi på väg att använda upp den fosfor vi har tillgång till i marken. Denna studie har därför valt att fokusera på en stor källa till fosfor som inte tas till vara på i många av dagens samhällen: mänsklig avföring. Många samhällen har genom historien använt mänsklig avföring som en resurs, bland annat som gödsel vid matodling, vilket återför en stor del av fosforn till marken. I dagens samhällen ses mänsklig avföring som någonting oönskat och äckligt. Vad är det som skapat denna ovilja att använda denna källa till fosfor? Varför slutade samhällen använda mänsklig avföring som gödsel vid matodling? Syftet med denna studie är att belysa de anledningar som ligger bakom att människor slutar att använda mänsklig avföring vid odling av mat. En tematisk analys, och utvalda delar av en komparativ analys, har använts för att analysera lämpligt publicerat material. Denna analys har skapat resultatet som sedan har ställts mot studiens teoretiska ramverk vilket inkluderar: människans syn på sin egen avföring, smuts och renhet, och mänsklig avföring som resurs. Studiens resultat tyder på att det främst är en accelererad urbanisering och en modernisering av samhället som leder till att människor slutar att använda mänsklig avföring som gödsel inom matodling. Människans syn på renhet ställs mot synen av mänsklig avföring som en resurs. Valet att använda mänsklig avföring eller ej styrs av den kulturella uppfattningen om vad som är rent och smutsigt. När de negativa associationerna kring mänsklig avföring överväger de positiva så leder det till att människor tar avstånd från mänsklig avföring trots att exkrementer fortfarande skulle kunna användas som en resurs. / Phosphorus is an essential nutrient in agriculture, despite this fact we are well on our way to using up the phosphorus we have access to in the ground. This study has therefore focused on a major source of phosphorus that is not taken into consideration in a vast majority of today’s societies: human excrement. Many countries have used human excreta as a resource throughout history, including as a fertilizer when producing food, which ensured that a major part of the phosphorus was returned to the soil. In societies today human excrement is viewed as something unwanted and disgusting. What is it that makes humans hesitant to use this source of phosphorus? Why did societies stop using human excrement as a fertilizer when growing food? The purpose of this study is to examine the underlying causes for why people stop using human excrement as a fertilizer when producing food. A thematic analysis, combined with selected parts of a comparative analysis, has been used to analyze apt publicized material. This analysis has resulted in the study’s result, which has then been pitted against the theoretical framework for this study. The theoretical framework includes: people’s view of their own excreta, dirt and cleanliness, and human excreta as a resource. The result suggests that it primarily is an increased urbanization and a modernization of society that leads people to stop using human excrement as a fertilizer when producing food. Human perception of purity is pitched against the view of human excrement as a resource. The choice of using human excrement or not is governed by the cultural perception of what is clean and what is dirty. When the negative associations connected to human excrement outweigh the positive, then humans distance themselves from it, even though the excrement could still be used as a resource.

Environmental strategies implemented today are strongly influenced by the ideologies capitalism, neoliberalism and ecomodernism. As such, they should promote global economic expansion while mitigating environmental impact. This is in line with the prevailing environmental political discourse of sustainable development, in which economic, ecological and social dimensions are considered compatible and dependent on each other. However, this essay challenges the normative assumption regarding the win-win-win narrative by examining the economic, ecological and social consequences of Max Burgers’ environmental strategies through three critical scientific theories. By posing an ideology critique and through the lens of our theoretical framework, we find that Max Burgers mystifies the apparent relation between local economic growth, global ecological impact and divided social progress, thus reinforcing unequal power dynamics and patterns of uneven development.

Orientador: Carlos Eduardo Jordão Machado / Banca: José Ribeiro Júnior / Banca: Francisco Cabral Alambert Júnior / Resumo: A importância da obra de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda para a experiência intelectual brasileira é indiscutível. Livros como Raízes do Brasil, Monções, Caminhos e Fronteiras e Visão do Paraíso se inserem no cenário da historiografia brasileira como clássicos da interpretação da história do Brasil. O objeto desta pesquisa, o livro Raízes do Brasil, foi escrito em 1936, um ano antes da instauração do Estado Novo em 1937 e um ano após a tentativa de revolução comunista de 1935. Neste meio termo, o autor procura desvendar a contradição entre aquilo que nomeia como herança ibérica - o patriarcalismo, o ruralismo - e a modernização brasileira desencadeada no mesmo período. Podemos dizer, desse modo, que tanto a Revolução de 1930, quanto o Estado Novo, em suas complexas tramas de "tradição" e "modernização", exerceram um apelo substancial sobre a intelectualidade brasileira. O nosso objetivo é analisar especificamente, essa trama no pensamento político de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda. Além disso, analisaremos a obra de um autor que contribuiu para o conhecimento da realidade brasileira na medida em que, utilizando-se de métodos novos, embora de diferentes formas, reagindo a diversos climas intelectuais e políticos, transformou as interpretações historiograficas tradicionais feitas até então e, a partir daí, abriu precedente para refletir sobre o Brasil e a formação de sua sociedade e cultura. / Abstract: The relevance of Sérgio Buarque de Holanda's works to the Brazilian intellectual experience is unquestionable. Works such as Raízes do Brasil, Monções, Caminhos e Fronteiras, and Visão do Paraíso hold an outstanding position within the Brazilian historiography being regarded as classical works for the explanation of the Brazilian history. The subject of this research, Raízes do Brasil, is a book written in 1936, one year before the establishment of the Estado Novo in 1937, and one year after the Communist Rebellion in 1935. In this middle-of-the road position, the writer tries to disclose the contradiction between the issues he calls the Iberian heritage - patriarchy, ruralism - and the Brazilian modernization process which took place in that period. For that reason, one can say that both the 1930 Revolution and the Estado Novo, within their complex schemes of "tradition" and "modernization", exerted a substancial influence over the Brazilian intellectuality. Our purpose here is to analyze such schemes within the scope of the political thought of Sérgio Buarque de Holanda. Furthermore, we analyzed the work of a writer who made an important contribution to explain the Brazilian reality, a historian who, by using new methods in various ways and by reacting to different intellectual and political environments, changed the traditional historiographical explanation given so far to those issues and from then on he set a precedent to reflect on Brazil and the development of its society and culture. / Mestre

Ce travail de recherche s'intéresse aux pratiques de maîtrise des risques d'acteurs engagés dans des situations critiques, distribuées et instables, à savoir de vastes projets de modernisation des installations ferroviaires. Il interroge la façon dont la division technique et « morale » du travail, la complexité socio-technique, la distribution du travail et des pressions de production peuvent affecter ces pratiques, en développant une perspective interactionniste. Il montre le rôle joué par les dynamiques intra et inter-groupes professionnels dans la maîtrise des risques, et questionne tout particulièrement le lien entre travail d'articulation et sécurité. Il s'appuie sur une méthodologie dite de « retour d'expérience élargie » de plusieurs incidents, ainsi que sur des entretiens et des observations de situations de travail. Il s'inscrit dans le cadre d'un programme de recherche lancé en 2006 par la FonCSI intitulé ‘Facteurs socio-culturels du retour d'expérience'. / This work is about the risk control practices of workers engaged in critical, distributed and unstable work situations, i.e. large modernization projects of railway operation system. It questions the way the technical and “moral” division of work, socio-technical complexity, distribution of work and production pressures can affect these practices, by adopting an interactionnist approach. It shows the role played by intra and inter-groups dynamics in risk control practices and questions especially the link between articulation work and safety. It uses a “broad learning from experience” methodology based on the comparative analysis of several near-misses and “normal” work situations. This work falls within the framework of a research program supported by the FonCSI called ‘Socio-cultural factors of learning from experience'.

The diploma thesis was focused especially on train station service supplies and on the potential offered by unutilized or misused spaces of a train station hall. The main goal was to find, define and examine this potential in a chosen station within Trade and Tourism development in a chosen place. The railway station in Ceske Budejovice became the chosen train station. The thesis contains a mapping of the given place, a marketing research carried out among train passengers travelling with the Czech Railway company, as well as on social networks through an on-line survey. The secondary objective was a determination of several possible suggestions to improve the train station, out of which one main suggestion was chosen and subsequently analysed.

No. of bitstreams: 1 11.pdf: 1881060 bytes, checksum: c1c555cab7a10a96442c3c9da4bf8aa5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender o impacto para a modernização administrativa da Polícia Militar da Bahia (PMBA) e qual a receptividade, dos atores envolvidos, decorrente da reforma que cria os Núcleos de Gestão Administrativa e Financeira (NUGAF). Esta mudança acarreta transformações não apenas no aspecto formal, mas também nas relações de poder e de confiança, pois altera parcialmente a cultura dominante na Corporação. Para tanto, protagonizou-se a observação direta sobre a realidade concreta e das relações de trabalho que ocorrem nos NUGAF e entre eles e as Unidades Operacionais (UOp). Também são aplicados à população finita composta de 51 Comandantes e Ex-Comandantes das UOp vinculadas aos NUGAF, questionários estruturados com questões fechadas numa escala tipo Likert, assim como, são realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com pessoas relevantes nesse processo. Os dados resultantes da observação direta e das entrevistas são tratados qualitativamente a partir dos referenciais teóricos e da percepção e vivência deste pesquisador, que na condição de oficial superior da PMBA, teve a oportunidade de conviver, desde a implantação, com o objeto da pesquisa. Os dados oriundos do questionário estruturado recebem tratamento quantitativo de estatística descritiva, com o uso da técnica de análise multivariada para buscar o estabelecimento de correlações entre as variáveis, realizando agrupamentos sempre que pertinente com utilização da análise fatorial. Foram identificados cinco fatores, porém dois foram desprezados em razão da difícil caracterização. A caracterização dos outros três se mostraram aderentes com as análises qualitativas e da estatística descritiva. Os resultados sinalizam o impacto favorável dessa reforma para a modernização administrativa da PMBA, assim como, sugere que os Comandantes foram receptivos a essa mudança. Por outro lado, infere-se a necessidade de aperfeiçoamento e realinhamento das práticas decisórias e de gestão que possibilitem a valorização dos Comandantes das UOp vinculadas, viabilizem sua efetiva participação na gestão e otimizem a atuação dos NUGAF. / Salvador
