A presente dissertação objetiva analisar a definição de prevenção em matéria de segurança e saúde no trabalho proposta pela Convenção 187 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT), a fim de identificar elementos que possam contribuir para o aprimoramento da tutela à saúde do trabalhador no Brasil. Essa Convenção, aprovada em junho de 2006 durante a 95ª Conferência Internacional do Trabalho, representa a mais recente atuação normativa da OIT para a prevenção de acidentes do trabalho e de doenças ocupacionais. Trata-se de um marco normativo promocional de uma nova estratégia global em prol do meio ambiente do trabalho seguro e saudável. Neste sentido, defende-se a ideia de que a Convenção 187 da OIT constitui-se em um importante campo de juridicidade que poderá colaborar, caso seja ratificada, para a promoção da saúde do trabalhador no Brasil. Depreende-se que o Brasil, por meio da Constituição Federal de 1988 e das normas infraconstitucionais posteriores (especialmente a Lei 8080/90), já iniciou uma normatização em que a prevenção à saúde do trabalhador deve ser realizada levando-se em conta todos os fatores intervenientes no meio ambiente do trabalho. Tal prevenção está em consonância com um novo paradigma de tutela, o qual preconiza a proteção ao meio ambiente do trabalho em sentido integral (paradigma emergente). No entanto, identifica-se que o atual modelo brasileiro apresenta obstáculos, vistos como desafios, para uma plena proteção ao meio ambiente do trabalho. Esses obstáculos são representados, especialmente, pelos limites de tolerância; pela culpabilização da vítima e pela cultura do EPI. Através da pesquisa, identificam-se quatro elementos na Convenção 187 da OIT que poderão contribuir para aperfeiçoar a tutela à saúde do trabalhador no Brasil, e, consequentemente, para uma transição de paradigmas na prevenção. São eles: 1) respeito a um meio ambiente do trabalho seguro e saudável; 2) participação ativa dos trabalhadores; 3) sistema de direitos com responsabilidades e deveres definidos; 4) máxima prioridade ao princípio da prevenção. / This thesis aims to analyze the definition of preventative occupational safety and health proposed by Convention 187 of International Labour Organization (ILO), to identify elements that may contribute to the improvement of tutelage for occupational health in Brazil. This Convention, approved in June 2006 during the 95th International Labor Conference, is the latest normative work of the ILO for the preventative occupational accidents and occupational diseases. This is a promotional normative framework of a new global strategy for the safe and healthy work environment. In this sense, it is defended the idea that the Convention 187 of the ILO is an important legality field that will be able to contribute, if ratified, to promote occupational health in Brazil. This infers that Brazil, through the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil and subsequent infra-constitutional laws (especially Law 8080/90), it has already initiated a standardization in which the prevention of occupational health should be carried out taking into account all the factors involved in the work environment. Such a prevention is in line with a new tutelage paradigm, which advocates the protection of the work environment in its full sense (emerging paradigm). However, it is identified that the current Brazilian model presents obstacles, seen as challenges, to a full protection of the work environment. These obstacles are mainly represented by the threshold limit values, the victim-blaming and the culture of PPE. Through the research, four elements can be identified in the ILO Convention 187 that may contribute to improving the tutelage for occupational health in Brazil, and consequently for a transition of paradigm in prevention. They are: 1) respect to a safe and healthy work environment, 2) active participation of workers, 3) rights system with defined responsibilities and duties, 4) highest priority to the principle of prevention.

This thesis combines a philosophical interpretation of Epicurean attitudes to language with literary analysis of the language of DRN. Chapters 1-2 describe Epicurean attitudes to diachronic and synchronic linguistic phenomena. In the first chapter I claim that the Epicurean account of the first stage of the development of language involves pre-rational humans acting under a ‘strong’ form of compulsion. The analogies with which Lucretius describes this process were motivated by a structural similarity between the Epicurean accounts of phylogenetic and ontogenetic psychology. Chapter 2 explores the Epicurean account of word use and recognition, central to which are ‘conceptions’. These are attitudes which express propositions; they are not mental images. Προλήψεις, a special class of conception, are self-evidently true basic beliefs about how objects in the world are categorized which, alongside the non-doxastic criteria of perceptions and feelings, play a foundational role in enquiry. Chapter 3 offers a reconstruction of an Epicurean theory of metaphor. Metaphor, for Epicureans, involves the subordination of additional conceptions to words to create secondary meanings. Secondary meanings are to be understood by referring back to primary meanings. Accordingly, Lucretius’ use of metaphor regularly involves the juxtaposition in the text of primary and secondary uses of terms. An account of conceptual metaphor in DRN is given in which the various conceptual domains from which Lucretius draws his metaphorical language are mapped and explored. Chapter 4 presents a new argument against ‘atomological’ readings of Lucretius’ atoms/letters analogies. Lucretian implicit etymologies involve the illustration, via juxtaposition, of language change across time. This is fully in keeping with the Epicurean account of language development. Chapter 5 describes Lucretius’ reflections on and interactions with the Greek language. I suggest that the study of lexical Hellenisms in DRN must be sensitive to the distinction between lexical borrowing and linguistic code-switching. I then give an account of morphological calquing in the poem, presenting it as a significant but overlooked strategy for Lucretian vocabulary-formation.

The genus Bordetella contains several pathogenic species generally associated with upper respiratory tract infections in warm-blooded animals. Bordetella pertussis is the etiologic agent of whooping cough. Whooping cough is presently one of the ten most common causes of death from infectious diseases and reported by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to cause 50 million cases and 350000 deaths worldwide per year, mainly among unvaccinated individuals in poor countries. The term proteome, in analogy to the term genome, was coined to describe the complete set of proteins that an organism has produced under a defined set of conditions. Proteomics has been used to identify novel bacterial vaccine candidates against several human pathogens. Fueled by growing DNA sequence information, the analysis of the proteome becomes a valuable and useful tool for antigen discovery. Much of information about immunogenic component can be derived from proteomics coupled to Western blotting, namely immunoproteomics. v In the present study, we report first immunoproteomics analysis to identify candidate antigens of B. pertussis for vaccine development. Different sera from mice, which were immunized or challenged with B. pertussis, were analyzed for reactivity by Western blot against whole cell extracts of B. pertussis Tohama and Saadet strains separated by 2-DE. We identified 15 immunogenic proteins of Bordetella pertussis as a total (60 kDa chaperonin, heat shock protein, serum resistance protein, putative substrate-CoA ligase, ATP-dependent protease, preprotein translocase secA subunit, S-adenosylmethionine synthetase, elongation factor Tu, RNA polymerase alpha subunit, ketol-acid reductoisomerase, pertactin, lysyl-tRNA synthetase, serum resistance protein, carbamoyl-phosphate synthase large chain, 30S ribosomal protein S1 subunit), 6 of which being identified as immunogenic in a pathogenic microbe (ATP-dependent protease, carbamoylphosphate synthase large chain, lysyl-tRNA synthetase, putative chromosome partition protein, preprotein translocase secA subunit, 30S ribosomal protein S1 subunit) and 5 identified as immunogenic for Bordetella pertussis (RNA polymerase alpha subunit, S-adenosylmethionine synthatase, putative substrate-CoA ligase, elongation factor Tu, ketol-acid reductoisomerase) for the first time.

Šiame darbe analizuojama verslo ar verslo dalies perdavimo sąvoka bei darbuotojų teisių apsaugos tam tikri aspektai ES teisėje, teismų praktikoje, taip pat lyginama su šių nuostatų įgyvendinimu Lietuvos teisėje bei praktikoje. Siekiant nustatyti, ar šios direktyvos pilna apimti įgyvendintos Lietuvos teisėje, atlikta ETT praktikos analizė, kurioje atskleista, jog verslo ar verslo dalies perdavimas yra platesnė sąvoka, nei nustatyta direktyvose (77/187, 98/50 ir 2001/23) ir apima pačius įvairiausius perdavimo būdus, įskaitant ir tuos, kai perdavėjo bei perėmėjo nesieja jokia sutartis, administraciniu ar teismo sprendimu ir pan. Nustatyta, jog Lietuvoje verslo ar verslo dalies perdavimas tam tikrais atvejais gali būti laikomas savarankišku įmonės ar jos dalies įgyjimo būdu, šalia įmonės ar jos esminės dalies pirkimo-pardavimo, o taip pat ir reorganizavimo. Nepaisant to, Lietuvos teisėje nėra pateikta verslo ar verslo dalies perdavimo sąvoka, kaip ji yra apibrėžiama ES teisėje todėl praktikoje dažniausiai įvardinama kaip įmonės reorganizavimas arba struktūrinis pertvarkymas. Nagrinėti darbuotojų teisių apsaugos aspektai ES teisėje nustato aiškią apsaugą bei jos apimtį. Kita vertus, ETT praktika atskleidė darbo santykių apsaugos išimtis ir susiaurino jos taikymo sritį. Įgyvendinant direktyvas Lietuvos teisėje, nebuvo įtvirtinta jokia papildoma apsauga perimamiems darbuotojams, išskyrus tai, jog verslo ar verslo dalies perdavimas negali būti teisėta priežastimi nutraukti darbo...

The European Court of Justice case law is analysed with the aim to determine if the European directives regarding the safeguarding of employees’ rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of undertakings or businesses were introduced into the Lithuanian law on the whole extent. According to the judgements of the European Court of Justice, the concept of the transfer of business or part of business should cover a wider number of transfers than it is stated in directives, including those transfers, where there is no contract between transferor and transferee, transfers as a result of a legislative or administrative decision. Purchasing or reorganisation of enterprise does not always coincide with transfer of business or part of business and can be considered as a separate type of acquirement of business or part of business. However, the Lithuanian Labour Code does not provide for a definition of transfer of business, as it is done by The European Court of Justice and in Lithuanian case law it is often recognised as reorganisation or structural changes. The most basic protected employees’ rights were analysed and it showed that the European law provides clear protected rights and its... [to full text]

The current heated national debate over immigration policy is a reminder of the contentious relationship the United States historically has had with its immigrant population, especially those who enter the country without proper documentation. For example, a major issue confronting California voters in 1994 was Proposition 187, a plan to deny social services to the state’s undocumented immigrants, the vast majority of whom were nonwhite. In this study, I argue that this issue took place during an immigration “panic,” one of several that took place in the United States during the 20th century. In these “panics,” which also occurred in the 1930s, the 1950s and the 1970s, undocumented immigrants served as convenient scapegoats for larger social ills. A significant and under-researched aspect of these events was the role played by the major U. S. mainstream media in perpetuating this scapegoating process. The study takes an in-depth look at how the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times covered the 1994 debate over Proposition 187, which occurred during the most recent of these immigration panics. It concludes that these newspapers’ coverage of 187 was shaped by the discourse of California’s elite politicians (both liberal and conservative) that focused on the predominantly non-white population of undocumented immigrants as “the problem.” By framing the undocumented as deviant, this coverage helped perpetuate the elite “blame the victim” discourse that diverted public attention from other issues facing the state, such as the fact that California was enduring its most significant recession since the Great Depression. / text

Le traité Péri Parrhêsias (PHerc. 1471) de Philodème de Gadara représente une source majeure pour la compréhension de la parrhêsia épicurienne. Malgré l’état fort dégradé du papyrus, cependant contrebalancé par les ébauches d’éditions transmises par Henry, l’éditeur actuel, et par les résultats de la recherche bibliologique effectuée par White, une interprétation thématique du manuel Péri Parrhêsias, Sur la franchise, a été rendue possible, de telle sorte qu’elle peut désormais servir de fondement pour examiner la place de la parrhêsia dans les Actes des apôtres. En comparant la manière dont Luc utilise la parrhêsia avec celle de Philodème, il apparaît que la première s’appuie sur la seconde, tous les thèmes philodémiens étant présents dans quasiment toutes les péricopes lucaniennes. Néanmoins, Luc adapte la parrhêsia à son propre projet narratif, tout en lui donnant un rôle stratégique pour décrire l’expansion de l’évangile jusqu’aux extrémités de la terre. / The Peri Parrhêsias treatise (PHerc. 1471) of Philodemus of Gadara represents a major source for the comprehension of Epicurean parrhêsia. In spite of the extremely deteriorated condition of the papyrus, nevertheless compensated by the draft editions transmitted by the current editor, Henry, and by the results of the bibliological research effectuated by White, a thematic interpretation of the manuel Peri Parrhêsias, On frankness, has been made possible, in such a way as to provide henceforth a basis to examine the role of parrhêsia in the Acts of the Apostles. When comparing the manner in which Luke employs parrhêsia with that of Philodemus, it is apparent that the first relies on the latter, all of the Philodemus themes being present in practically all of the Lucan pericopae. However, Luke adapts the parrhêsia to his own narrative project, all while giving it a strategic role in describing the expansion of the Gospel unto the end.

Cette thèse s’attache à mettre en lumière les points de rencontre entre la philosophie épicurienne et l’épopée de Virgile. Si les relations entre la philosophie d’Épicure et l’œuvre de Virgile ont fait l’objet de nombreux développements, les correspondances et les liens mis en lumière concernent pour l’essentiel ses œuvres de jeunesse, soit les poèmes des Géorgiques et des Bucoliques. A contrario, on constate que dans l’épopée d’Énée, les empreintes de l’épicurisme se trouvent bien souvent mises au second plan.Chez Virgile comme chez Lucrèce et les épicuriens, ce qui a trait à la vision et au phénomène des songes tient une place importante. Cette étude envisage de montrer dans quelle mesure le traitement littéraire des différents épisodes de songes et d’apparitions qui rythment l’épopée virgilienne constitue un reflet des considérations épicuriennes qui ont participé à la formation philosophique du jeune poète. La façon dont il aborde le sujet des rêves et des apparitions au travers d’un récit épique codifié se trouve mise en parallèle avec les écrits d’Épicure et plus spécifiquement avec de De rerum natura de Lucrèce. Les questions épistémologiques en lien avec l’épicurisme, de même qu’une analyse du vocabulaire lié aux images et aux songes sont au cœur de ce travail.S’il y avait a priori un enjeu dans le choix d’appréhender une œuvre de l’ampleur de l’Énéide du point de vue de l’épicurisme et en se limitant aux seuls textes traitant des songes et des apparitions, l’analyse des vers de Virgile à la lumière du texte de Lucrèce permet de faire émerger des affinités tant au niveau du lexique que des thématiques traitées. Les empreintes d’une influence épicurienne dans l’épopée de Virgile sont, comme les songes et apparitions, d’une nature parfois ténue, mais si on veut bien y prêter attention, elles ne sont pour autant ni impalpables ni insaisissables. / This thesis aims to highlight links between the epicurean philosophy and Vergil’s epic. If the relations between Epicurus’ philosophy and Vergil’s work have been widely discussed, the highlighted interconnections and links mainly deal with his early works, ie. Georgics and Bucolics. On the other hand, it is possible to note that in Aeneas’ epic the footprint of epicureanism are often put on a second plan.Both as in Vergil and in Lucretius and the Epicureans, the topic dealing with the vision and the dream has an important status. This study aims to demonstrate the way the literary interpretation of the differents episodes of dreams and apparitions, that punctuate Vergil’s epic, is a mirror of the epicurean considerations that took part in the philosophical background of the young poet. The way he deals with the subject of the dreams and the apparitions through a codified epic story is compared with Epicurus’ writings and more specifically with Lucretius’ De rerum natura. Epistemological questions linked with the epicureanism, as well an analysis of the vocabulary refering to images and dreams are the main point of the study.through the epicureanism, limited to the texts dealing with dreams and apparitions, the analysis of Vergil’s verses thanks to Lucretius’ work allows us to highlight affinities in terms of the lexicon as well as the topics covered.The marks of an epicurean influence in Vergil’s epic are, as the dreams and the apparitions, of a tenuous essence, but if we look at this carefully, they are nevertheless neither intangible nor elusive.

Using the frames of analysis and language of political whiteness and anti-migrant hegemony, this paper examines the narrative of liberal immigration reformers transforming California’s political landscape within the period of 1994 to 2017. Taken as case studies the following articles of legislation are analyzed: Proposition 187 in 1994, the California Dream Act in 2010, the Trust Act in 2014, up to the present Senate Bill 54 in 2017. The paper finds that while California has experienced a recognizable shift in racial liberalism in rhetoric and legislation, its overall policy continues to work within the framework of anti-migrant hegemony that functions through criminalization and detention. The paper ends with the conclusion, informed by Gonzales’ writing in Reform without Justice, that the shift California has experienced is indicative of anti-migrant hegemony reconfiguring itself in changing social and political norms.

Use of Re-Os systematics in sulfides from the Bagdad porphyry Cu-Mo deposit provide information on the timing of mineralization and the source of the ore -forming elements. Analyzed samples of pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite mainly from the quartz monzonite and porphyritic quartz monzonite units are characterized by a moderate to strong potassic alteration (secondary biotite and K- feldspar). Rhenium concentrations in molybdenite are between 330 and 730 ppm. Two molybdenite samples from the quartz monzonite and porphyritic quartz monzonite provide a Re-Os isotope age of 71.7 ± 0.3 Ma. A third sample from a molybdenite vein in Precambrian rocks yields an age of 75.8 ± 0.4 Ma. These molybdenite ages support previous suggestions of two mineralization episodes in the Bagdad deposit. An early event at 76 Ma and a later episode at 72 Ma. Pyrite Os and Re concentrations range between 0.008-0.016 and 3.9-6.8 ppb, respectively. Chalcopyrite contains a wide range of Os (6 to 91 ppt) and Re (1.7 to 69 ppb) concentrations and variable ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratios that range between 0.13 to 22.27. This variability in the chalcopyrite data may be attributed to different copper sources, one of them the Proterozoic volcanic massive sulfides in the district, or to alteration and remobilization of Re and Os. Analyses from two pyrite samples yield an eight point isochron with an age of 77 ± 15 Ma and an initial ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os ratio of 2.12. This pyrite Re-Os isochron age is in good agreement with the molybdenite ages. We interpret the highly radiogenic initial 1870s/188Os as an indication that the source of Os and, by inference, the ore-forming elements for the Bagdad deposit, was mainly the crust. This conclusion agrees with previous Pb and Nd isotope studies and supports the notion that a significant part of the metals and magmas have a crustal source.
