The term, kept in English throughout this work for lack of equivalence in Portuguese, could be translated as "relentless persecution of" someone. The most frequent victims are women, and the action often derives from a relationship ended against the will of the one who will become the stalker. After discussing some concepts in stalking, built especially by jurists, physicians and psychologists, we will present the constitutive elements of the phenomenon, its categories and a brief history, also listing the framework of stalking under the laws of countries like the United States and European nations. The emphasis of this dissertation is on the Civil Law, which is why the criminal aspects of stalking will not be covered, even though they are basal to the prevention of the damage caused by the pursuer. Starting from the only two civil cases judged on stalking so far in the country, we will show how the stalker can be civilly liable based on Brazilian legal grounds, without the need for a specific antistalking civil law. We will then access the damage suffered by victims, which forms the basis for due compensation. Finally, we will discuss the principles of prevention and solidarity, as the damage caused by the practice of stalking is so onerous that effectively compensating the victim becomes an impossibility. Precisely because of the severity and growth of the phenomenon over the past few years is that we believe in the importance of the study of stalking by legal practitioners / A presente dissertação trata do stalking, um fenômeno social antigo, embora pouco conhecido e estudado no Brasil. O termo, mantido na língua inglesa ao longo deste trabalho por falta de correspondência fiel em português, poderia ser traduzido como perseguição implacável a alguém. As vítimas mais frequentes são mulheres, e a ação costuma ser decorrente de um relacionamento interrompido contra a vontade daquele que virá a se tornar o perseguidor. Após expor alguns conceitos de stalking construídos especialmente por juristas, médicos e psicólogos, apresentaremos os elementos constitutivos do fenômeno, suas categorias e um breve histórico, enumerando também o enquadramento do stalking consoante a legislação de países como os Estados Unidos e nações da Europa. A ênfase desta dissertação está no Direito Civil, razão pela qual os aspectos criminais do stalking não serão abordados, ainda que sejam basais para a prevenção dos danos causados pelo perseguidor. Partindo dos dois únicos julgados cíveis acerca do stalking existentes até o momento no país, mostraremos como o perseguidor pode ser civilmente responsabilizado, com base no arcabouço jurídico brasileiro atual, sem necessidade de uma lei cível antistalking específica. A partir da responsabilidade civil, adentraremos os danos sofridos pelas vítimas, os quais servirão de base para a devida indenização. Por fim, abordaremos os princípios da prevenção e da solidariedade, visto que os danos provocados pela prática do stalking são tão gravosos que tornar a vítima indene torna-se uma impossibilidade. Justamente por conta da gravidade e do crescimento do fenômeno ao longo dos últimos anos é que acreditamos na importância do estudo do stalking pelos operadores do Direito

Studenters uppfattning om stalkning skiljer sig åt. Kvinnor anser att flerh ändelser är stalkning medan män tänker att händelserna inte klassificeras som stalkning. Män tänker även att det oftare är offrets egna fel att denne blir utsatt. Det finns ideala brottsoffer och icke-ideala brottsoffer, vilket har att göra med brottsoffrets karaktärstyp. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur studenter uppfattar brottsoffrets utsatthet, beroende på om brottsoffret är idealt eller icke-idealt. Studien har använt en mixed design vilket innebär att de finns både en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ analys. Undersökningen genomfördes på så sätt att respondenter fick läsa en av två berättelser och besvara en tillhörande enkät. Resultaten visar att det finns skillnader i män och kvinnors uppfattning. Kvinnor ansåg att brottsoffrens utsatthet var lika allvarligt oavsett karaktärstyp medan män ansåg att det ideala brottsoffrets utsatthet var allvarligare än det icke-ideala. Kvinnor uppfattar däremot att det icke-ideala brottsoffret hade utsatts för stalkning i högre utsträckning än det ideala, medan män bedömde motsatsen. Respondenterna ansåg att brottsoffren skulle hantera sin utsatta position genom att bland annat anmäla och kontakta sina närstående. Det övergripande resultatet i studien visar att majoriteten studenter uppfattar stalkning som allvarligt men skillnaden är hur allvarligt respondenterna anser att utsattheten är. / Students perception on stalking differ. Women consider that more casesare stalking while men consider that these cases do not classifies asstalking. Men is more often thinking that it is the victims own fault thathe or she is a victim of crime. There is ideal victims and non-idealvictims, which depending on the victims’ characteristics. The purposewith this study is to examine how students perceive the victims’vulnerability, depending on if the victim is an ideal victim or non-ideal.The study has used a mixed design which means that there will be bothquantitative results and qualitative results. The study was conductedthat the respondents read one out of two cases and then answered aquestionnaire. The results show that there are differences between menand women’s perceptions. Women consider the victims exposure to beequally severe while men consider the ideal victim’s exposure onstalking to be more severe than the non-ideal. Women however,perceive that the non-ideal victim had been exposed to stalking ingreater extent than the ideal victim while men consider the opposite.The respondents consider that the victims should handle theirvulnerable positions through reporting to the police and contact theirrelatives. The overall result of the study shows that the majority of thestudents perceive stalking as severe but the differences lays in howsevere the students perceive there is.

This exegesis interrogates the mental illness Pure Erotomania, the rare delusional disorder which presents with the sufferer having the delusional (and therefore unshakeable) belief that the person they objectify is in love with them. My play Yellow Roses in Fortitude Valley is about one woman's emotional journey as she is relentlessly stalked by a Pure Erotomanic male. It is a fascinating mental illness, which includes all the 'box office type' features, which make it an exciting and frightening subject to write a dramatic work about. It is confusing, illusory, surreal and frightening, but best of all for the writer and audience it is a real human condition. Yellow Roses in Fortitude Valley is written in a style that truthfully represents and portrays the journey and struggle for both the victim and the sufferer. The research undertaken for both the play and exegesis was a hybrid of many overlapping disciplines involved in the current discourse. As a recently diagnosed and recognized disorder, it is still new territory for professionals in the field and for audience members. I believe this makes it an opportune time for an academically researched creative project to enter into current discourse. Previous creative works on this topic, some of which I have interrogated, have approached the issue of stalking as a predator/victim scenario, an unrequited love or a domestic violence situation. I wished to portray the stalking as a mental illness in the form of the psychiatric disorder Erotomania, my approach undertaking to explain victim impact and the prolonged and chronic course of Erotomanic stalking. I also wished to illustrate the underlying themes which I uncovered during my research, being; female victims of sex crimes; dominant patriarchal ideology; and the current interventions in stalking by the legal and mental health systems.

Abstract The diploma thesis on the theme ?Factors influencing adolescents´ opinion on issues of the domestic violence? deals in the theoretical part with all important aspects of the domestic violence and stalking. The research part has been focused on adolescents aged 17 to 19 years living in Vysočina region, the research sample has consisted of 858 respondents. The aim of the thesis was to find out, by statistical methods on a statistically significant sample of adolescents, key factors influencing the adolescents´ opinion on the issue of the domestic violence. In relation to the aim of the thesis there were determined following hypotheses, which were tested on 5% significance level with six survey questions. Hypothesis 1: ?Statistically significant factor for the domestic violence among adolescents is their personal experience? was confirmed in four areas. Respondents having the personal experience with the domestic violence differ from the respondents without such experience in the following: they are more aware of a possibility of a partner´s violence at their age, they more refuse to tolerate the domestic violence, they better recognize a definition of the domestic violence and they are often aware of a possibility of a trans-generation transmission of the violence. In connection with this hypothesis it is important the finding, that 57 respondents (7%) have their personal experience with the domestic violence; 49 girls and 8 boys. Hypothesis 2: ?Statistically significant factor for the domestic violence among adolescents is the education? was not confirmed due to a low variability of responses and insufficient data to evaluate the hypothesis. Hypothesis 3: ?Statistically significant factor for the domestic violence among adolescents is the gender (women)? was confirmed in two areas. Girls differ from boys in the following: they are more aware of a possibility of the partner´s violence at their age and they more refuse to tolerate the domestic violence. The diploma thesis can serve as a source of current information related to the issue of the domestic violence, it provides an up-to-date data on the prevalence of the domestic violence in the adolescence and it presents information and opinions of adolescents on the domestic violence or partner relationship. The thesis can be used by professionals as well as lay public interested in the domestic violence and it can be a basis or a comparison for other studies and researches.

The plant has a taproot that could reach over 2mts depth. On chapter one, it has been researched the regrowing of the species in its own habitat, in order to evaluate the increment of vegetal material, in a given period of four years to attain technical information on cultivated stuff and a sprout production method. The selected part of plant was the stem in natural habitat, close-cut regrowing at ground-surface. The population had 75% of plants with average height of 50 cm. On following four years, after being cut to measure average height, 75 % of plants have reached maximum height between 28 to 30cm. As a main conclusion, it could be inferred that, according field observation the caferana plant needs at least the minimum of four years to recompose its growth after being cut. It has been observed a rather slow regrowth increment, because unknown factors. On chapter two, it has been used the agronomic stake technique aiming at to evaluate plant viability for sprout production. It was adopted a casual design experiment absolutely at random in factorial scheme 4 x 4 with four types of stakes ligneous, semi-ligneous, herbaceous and semi-herbaceous and four types of soil; S1 with sand 100%, S2 with 50% sand plus 50% clay, S3 with clay 100%, and S4 with composite soil 30% plus 30% clay plus 40% sand. Best kind of soil for caferana has been S4 composite 21,67%, and best stakes were: ligneous 29,16% and herbaceous 20%. On a general mood, roots were only established after one and a half year of sprout maintenance, turning rather difficult its identification, diminishing sprout development, making non-feasible the stake-technique for sprout production. On chapter three, it has been evaluated caferana plants sprouting with seeds collected at UFAM-AM. The experiment was sketched in blocks at random, with four types of soils; S1 (100% sand); S2 (50% sand plus 50% clay); S3 (100% clay) S4 (30% composite plus 30% clay plus 40% sand), during four years. At the green-house caferana has been watered with automatic sprinkling every ten minutes at 60 second - irrigating period. The largest percentage sprouting average was with substratum S4 (41.02%) followed by S3 (31.92%) and S2 (30,29%) which do not differed between them. The worst performance has been for substratum S1 (22,94%). Germination techniques in green-house, for Picrolemma spruce Hook sprout production has had a rather medium yield. It has been concluded that there is a great dependence on moisture for this species germination, already proved by best treatments (S4, S3, S2), containing (clay and humus) moisture retaining particles, which was also verified in its habitat next to Igarapes (creeks), where they develop in larger quantities. It is highly recommended to test other sprout production techniques, as in B.O.D chambers where could prove better results than in soil substrata germination. On chapter four, it has been evaluated the analysis by genetic markers conducted by three different combinations of four EcoRI-Msel starters, resulting in a total number of 443 polymorphic bands. These data has been used for the analysis of genetic divergence among populations. It was observed low-levels of genetic divergence among them. Genetic similarity at must has been of 88.8% inside C population, 39% inside D population, being similar inside P population, indicating, and lower genetic variability on C population, then influenced to endogamy crossing. Clustering populations has being displayed in the form of a dendrogram; inferring that, populations with greater Jaccard coefficient tend to have more similarity, and trees next to each other tend to be more similar among them. / Atualmente, há um grande interesse em plantas para extração de princípios ativos com atividade antimalárica, principalmente na Amazônia, onde a doença já se alastra há tempos, sem uma ação eficaz para sua erradicação. A Caferana (Picrolemma sprucei Hook. f.) é uma planta Simaroubaceae, conhecida como antimalárica por povos nativos da região Amazônica, sendo utilizada sem critérios como chá medicinal para combate à doença. A planta possui uma raiz pivotante e atinge em torno de 2 m de profundidade. No capítulo I, foi investigado o recrescimento da espécie em seu habitat, a fim de avaliar o incremento do material vegetal, num período de quatro anos, para obter informações sobre recrescimento do material selvagem e o melhor método de produção de mudas. A planta foi cortada no caule (corte rente à superfície do solo) em seu habitat natural. A população original apresentava 75% das plantas com altura média de 50 cm. Nos quatro anos seguintes, o recrescimento médio de 75% das plantas atingiu a altura de (28 a 30 cm). Concluiu-se que a planta necessita, conforme observações em campo, não menos que quatro anos para se recompor em recrescimento depois de cortada. Tendo um incremento de recrescimento lento e com grande variabilidade, devido a fatores desconhecidos. No capítulo II, utilizou-se a técnica agronômica de estaquia a fim de avaliar a viabilidade na propagação da planta nativa para produção de mudas. Adotou-se experimento em delineamento inteiramente ao acaso em esquema fatorial (4X4) com quatro tipos de estacas (lenhosa, semi-lenhosa, herbácea e semi-herbácea) e quatro tipos de substratos: (S1) com areia (100%); (S2) com 50% de areia + 50% de solo argiloso; (S3), com solo argiloso (100%); e (S4) com 30% de terra compostada + 30% de solo argiloso + 40% de areia). O melhor substrato para caferana foi o compostado S4 (21,67%), e as melhores estacas foram: lenhosa (29,16%) e herbácea (20%). De um modo geral, as raízes só apareceram após um ano e meio de manutenção da muda, tornando difícil sua identificação, diminuindo o desenvolvimento da muda e inviabilizando a técnica de estaquia para produção das mudas nativas. No capítulo III, avaliou-se a germinação de plantas de caferana com sementes coletadas na UFAM/AM. O experimento foi delineado em blocos ao acaso, com quatro tipos de substratos: S1 (100% areia); S2 (50% areia + 50% solo argiloso); S3 (100% solo argiloso) e S4 (30% composto + 30% solo argiloso + 40% areia). Na casa de vegetação regou-se com aspersão automática a cada 10 min., com período de rega de 60s. A maior percentagem média de germinação foi com o substrato S4 (41,02%) seguido de S3 (31,92%) e S2 (30,29%) que não diferiram entre si. Obtendo o pior desempenho o substrato S1 (22,94%). A técnica de germinação em casa de vegetação para produção de mudas da espécie Picrolemma sprucei, apresentou um rendimento apenas mediano. Conclui-se que há dependência de umidade para germinação da espécie, provada pela composição dos melhores tratamentos S4, S3 e S2, contendo partículas redutoras de argila e húmus, grande retentora de água, e, também verificada em seu habitat, próximas aos igarapés, se desenvolvem em maior quantidade. Recomenda-se testar outras técnicas de produção de mudas, em câmaras de BOD, onde poderá demonstrar melhores resultados do que a germinação em substratos de solo. Com relação ao experimento com marcador molecular AFLP, capítulo IV, obteve-se um índice de similaridade genética máxima em torno de 29% para a população P (ZF2), 33% para apopulação D (Ducke) e o maior índice em torno de 87% para a população C (cultivada), mostrando definitivamente a baixa variabilidade genética em populações cultivadas, possivelmente devido ao endocruzamento. A análise por marcador genético foi realizada por sete diferentes combinações de iniciadores EcoRI-MseI, resultando num total de 443 bandas polimórficas. Esses dados foram utilizados para análise da divergência genética entre populações e dentro delas. Foram detectados baixos níveis de divergência genética entre populações. O máximo de similaridade genética foi de 88,8%, dentro de população C , o de 39% dentro da população D e semelhante dentro da P (39%), indicando uma menor variabilidade genética na população C que ficou sujeita a cruzamentos endogâmicos. O agrupamento das populações, a partir do dendrograma (Apêndice I) encontrado, sugere que populações com maior coeficiente de JACCARD, tenham maior similaridade e árvores próximas tendem a ser mais similar entre si.

This study applied the impression management theory in the context of social networking to investigate the generalized research question of this dissertation which is "Do active social media presence and various privacy concerns influence online behaviors of students on social media?" The results and conclusions are presented via the conduct of three different studies and the summary provides insights and explain the overall contribution of the research. For each study we developed a research model for which data was collected separately for each of these models. Hypotheses of each model were tested by partial least squares- structural equation modeling techniques using SmartPLS 2.0. Our findings confirm the hypotheses and showed that all the predictors positively influence online social networking behaviors. Active social media presence is operationalized as predictors such as SNS stalking awareness, Selective disclosure, desired differential persona, impression motivation, and information trustworthiness. Privacy concerns have been operationalized as SNS privacy awareness, technology awareness. Online behaviors have been operationalized as responsible image and reckless image.

This thesis deals with the current issue of discrimination in the workplace, especially focuses on discrimination based on age and sex, sexual harassment and bullying in the workplace, legislation that regulates the area of discrimination in labor relations. The theoretical section includes explanations of terms and connections to a given focus and the practical part includes a probe into five large companies examining whether the effects mentioned in the theoretical part actually occur in practice, or how these problems are solved. This probe was in the form of semi-structured interview respondents in their workplaces. The results confirmed the claim that one of the most vulnerable group are women. Larger companies are trying to provide them a variety of advantages as for example flexible-time work, etc. Some companies have confirmed that there were some cases of bullying or sexual harassment in their firm, but these situations have not been solved other than by the dismissal of one of the participants. However, the occurrence of age discrimination was in the surveyed companies not confirmed - despite the theoretical claims and personal experience. It also showed that the respondents, HR professionals from large companies, have a poor conception of the possible solutions of those situations and...

Le « harcèlement moral » est une expression née en 1998 sous la plume de la psychologue M.-F. Hirigoyen. La notion, floue et imprécise, connaît alors une émergence fulgurante, jusqu'à sa juridisation en 2002. Paradoxalement, le « harcèlement moral », qui est au centre d'une littérature prolifique, n'a guère fait l'objet d'une enquête sociologique. Notre étude, basée sur une enquête qualitative auprès de harcelés et d'acteurs de l'entreprise, vise à analyser le phénomène, en essayant de comprendre ce qu'il recouvre en termes de mode de lecture et d'expression de la souffrance. <br />Dans une première partie, nous faisons la genèse de la notion, en retraçant les différentes étapes de sa diffusion jusqu'à son appropriation par les juges. Ce retour sur l'histoire de l'émergence du harcèlement moral donne à voir les avatars qu'a connus la définition de la notion. <br />Dans une deuxième partie, nous donnons une définition subjective du harcèlement moral, c'est-à-dire que nous étudions comme « harcèlement moral » ce que les acteurs interrogés définissent comme tel. Les cas de harcèlement moral sont d'une extrême diversité, et le terme apparaît d'une appropriation large et aisée, sans exclusive d'un âge, d'un sexe ou d'une origine sociale.<br />Dans une dernière partie analytique, nous confrontons les matériaux empiriques obtenus avec une explication récurrente : le « harcèlement moral » contribuerait à occulter les causes organisationnelles et socio-économiques de la souffrance au travail. C'est la thèse de la « psychologisation » du social, dont nous montrons les apports et discutons les limites.
