[pt] As recentes crises econômicas pelas quais o Brasil passou nos últimos dois anos - como a pandemia de Covid-19 e a guerra entre Rússia e Ucrânia - geraram inúmeras perturbações no cumprimento dos contratos e, por conseguinte, o desequilíbrio de suas prestações. A implementação do contrato de execução continuada ou diferida e seus reflexos no tempo geram, por si sós, uma gama de riscos que precisam ser geridos de modo eficaz. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar os limites do negócio jurídico da tutela ex lege do equilíbrio contratual prevista nos artigos 317 e 478 a 480 do Código Civil brasileiro, amplamente negociada por partes paritárias, em que estas estabeleçam seus próprios critérios para a configuração da excessiva onerosidade, modificando, restringindo ou excluindo a tutela ex lege do equilíbrio contratual, bem como afastando, definitivamente ou provisoriamente, as ações revisional e/ou resolutiva previstas nos citados dispositivos legais. Essa análise se mostra relevante, uma vez que a legislação civil pátria não declarou, nem forneceu qualquer indicativo sobre a natureza das referidas normas. / [en] The recent economic crises that Brazil has experienced in the last two years - such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the war between Russia and Ukraine - have generated numerous disruptions in the fulfillment of contracts, and, consequently, the imbalance of its benefits. The implementation of the continuous or deferred execution s contract and its effects in time generate, by itself, a range of risks that need to be managed effectively. The present study aims to analyze the limits of the juristic act of the ex lege protection of the contractual balance provided for in articles 317 and 478 to 480 of the Brazilian Civil Code, widely negotiated between parity parties and, in which contractors establishes its own criteria for the configuration of excessive burden, modifying, restricting or excluding the ex lege protection of the contractual balance, and removing, definitively or provisionally, the revisional and/or the resolutive actions provided in the aforementioned provisions. Such analysis is relevant, since the national civil legislation did not state, nor provided any indication as to the nature of those rules.

The main objective of this project is to investigate the applicability of the IMO second-generation intact stability criteria in enhancing the process of designing fishing vessels, which often face stability challenges due to their narrow hulls and harsh operating environments. The study involves analyzing the impact of these criteria, specifically focusing on dead ship conditions and Level 1 and Level 2 excessive acceleration criteria, on the design of three fishing vessels. Through thorough theoretical examination and practical assessment, the research seeks to provide naval architects with valuable insights into designing safer and more stable fishing vessels. The investigation also explores the potential benefits of incorporating bilge keels to mitigate lateral acceleration effects, aiming to enhance crew safety. Finally, a discussion of the computation results is held, followed by a conclusion. / Huvudsyftet med detta projekt är att undersöka tillämpbarheten av IMO:s andra generationens kriterier för intaktstabilitet för att förbättra processen med att designa fiskefartyg. Denna typ av fartyg har ofta flera stabilitetsutmaningar på grund av deras smala skrov och krävande driftsmiljöer. Studien innefattar att analysera effekterna av dessa kriterier, med särskild fokus på "dead ship" villkor samt nivå 1- och nivå 2-kriterierna för kraftiga acceleration, på designen av tre fiskefartyg. Genom teoretisk granskning och praktisk bedömning ämnar forskningen ge fartygskonstruktörer insikter för att designa säkrare och mer stabila fiskefartyg. Undersökningen utforskar också de potentiella fördelarna med att inkludera slingerkölar för att mildra effekterna av lateral acceleration och därmed öka besättningens säkerhet. Rapporten avslutas med en diskussion kring beräkningsresultaten, följt av en slutsats.

Le financement constitue le nerf de l’activité de l’entreprise et de son développement. Dès lors, le fournisseur de concours est le partenaire privilégié à qui incombe la difficile mission de financer les entreprises, particulièrement lorsque s’ouvre une procédure. L’octroi de crédit est ainsi au cœur du droit des entreprises en difficulté. De fait, le débiteur « failli » va manquer à ses engagements et perturber l’ordre juridique. Apparaît alors le facteur risque dans l’octroi de crédit aux entreprises en difficulté. Ce risque se traduit, pour le banquier, par l’incertitude de recouvrement de sa créance ou par les vicissitudes du contrat bancaire dont la continuation ou la cession peut lui être imposée. Cependant, le risque ne doit pas justifier le refus du banquier d’accorder du crédit au débiteur défaillant. Le droit se doit d’intégrer la prise de risque dans la fourniture de crédit. Dans ce contexte, le fournisseur de concours ne se présente pas comme un créancier comme les autres. Il y a alors inégalité des créanciers en fonction de leur influence dans le sauvetage du débiteur. C’est cette hypothèse qui nous a servi de fil conducteur. La recevabilité de l’action est neutralisée et devient une technique au service d’une finalité : la sauvegarde de l’entreprise. A cet égard, le fournisseur de concours dispose d’un traitement protecteur d’une part, et demeure exposé aux règles de la procédure d’autre part. Le pendant de la protection est par conséquent son incontournable exposition par le maintien de sa responsabilité. / Financing is the nerve of the firm’s activity and its development. From then on, the financial assistance provider is the privileged partner who has the difficult mission of financing firm’s activities, particularly when a bankruptcy procedure is opened. So, crediting is the heart of bankruptcy law. De facto, the insolvent debtor will miss in his commitments and will disrupt the legal order. So appears the financial assistance provided to ailing firm’s risk. This risk is translated, for the banker, by the uncertainty of recovering of its debt or by the vicissitude of the banking contract which continuation or transfer can be imposed. However, the risk does not have to justify the banker to refuse granting credit to the failing debtor. Legal system has to consider risk-taking into the supply of credit. In this context, the financial assistance provider does not appear as other creditors. Then there is disparity of creditors according to their influence in the rescue of the debtor. It is this hypothesis that led our work. The admissibility of the action is neutralized and becomes a technique in the service of a purpose: the saving of the firm. In this respect, the financial assistance provider has a best treatment, on one hand, and he still being exposed to bankruptcy rules, on the other hand. The result of this best treatment is consequently he’s main exposure to the implementation of its liability.

Narcolepsia é uma doença neurológica crônica caracterizada por sonolência diurna excessiva e ataques de sono. Ocorre na população de uma para cada mil pessoas. Fenômenos de sono REM (rapid eye movement), cataplexia, paralisia do sono e alucinações hipnagógicas podem também ocorrer. Afeta todos os aspectos da vida e pode causar dificuldades para os pacientes em manter seus empregos, nos relacionamentos interpessoais e riscos de acidentes devido à sonolência excessiva e à cataplexia. Acredita-se que seja causada por um interjogo de fatores genéticos e ambientais. O risco para familiares de primeiro grau é estimado em de 1-2%. Recentemente foi demonstrado que os pacientes com narcolepsia têm uma deficiência de hipocretina também chamada de orexina na parte lateral do hipotálamo. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos: a) caracterizar os aspectos psicodinâmicos mais freqüentes da amostra; b) verificar a eficácia adaptativa do ego; c) verificar o equilíbrio e o funcionamento psíquico e relacionar com aspectos clínicos dos pacientes. A amostra foi de 23 pacientes portadores de narcolepsia, 15 mulheres e 8 homens, com média de idade de 44 anos. Eles foram avaliados através da Escala Diagnóstica Adaptativa Operacionalizada (EDAO), de R. Simon. O Questionário do Sono, de Giglio, foi utilizado para levantar os principais problemas no sono e as conseqüências na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. A Escala de Sonolência Epworth avaliou a intensidade da sonolência diurna. A dinâmica do funcionamento mental foi avaliada através do Teste das Relações Objetais de Phillipson (TRO), segundo os pressupostos teóricos da psicanálise. Os resultados mostraram que: 1) a narcolepsia está associada a sério prejuízo na eficácia adaptativa, com diagnóstico de Adaptação Ineficaz Moderada e Severa na maioria dos sujeitos; 2) sonolência severa excessiva diurna, ataques de sono e sono noturno fracionado; 3) a análise do funcionamento psíquico revelou que estes pacientes apresentam respostas, as quais, na maioria das vezes, impedem seu desenvolvimento. Os principais mecanismos de defesa, mais freqüentes, são pertinentes à posição esquisoparanóide, medo de rejeição e abandono e desejo de proteção e contato. Revelou também dificuldades em relação aos vínculos interpessoais, com mecanismos de fuga e evitação principalmente nas situações grupais e de três pessoas. / Narcolepsy is a chronic brain disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep attacks. It affects up to one in a thousand people. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phenomena such as cataplexy, sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations can also occur. The condition impinges on every aspect of life, and can make it difficult for sufferers to keep their jobs as well as personal relationships. There can be accident risks caused by the excessive sleepiness and cataplexy. It is believed to be caused by an interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The risk to first-degree relatives is estimated at 1-2%. Patients with narcolepsy have recently been shown to be deficient in hypocretin, also called orexin, in the cerebrospinal fluid and have a reduction in hipocretin cells in the lateral hypothalamus. The present study characterizes a sample of 23 patients suffering from narcolepsy, of which 15 female and 8 male patients, 44 years-old in average. They had their adaptive efficiency evaluated by R. Simon\'s Adaptive and Operationalised Diagnostic Scale (AODS). Major sleep disorders and their effects on patient\'s life quality were surveyed by Giglio\'s Sleep Questionnaire. Intensity of sleepiness was evaluated through Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Mind functioning dynamics was assessed by Phillips on Test (ORT) obeying psychoanalytic theoretical presuppositions. Up to the moment, results show that: 1) narcolepsy is associated to serious damage to adaptive efficiency, with moderate and severe inefficient adaptation, prevailing in most patients; 2) severe excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep attacks and fractioned nocturnal sleep are frequent in most of patients even when medicated with stimulants; 3) the analysis through ORT showed that these patients presented responses that for most of the time, impede their progress Paranoid-schizoid position defense mechanisms were frequent, with fears of being rejected and abandoned. The Object Relations Test revealed interpersonal links impairment, mainly in group and triangular situations.

L’objectif principal de cette recherche est de comprendre la signification de l’accumulation d’objets pour la personne présentant des comportements de hoarding. Dans une perspective constructiviste, nous utilisons la construction empirique de la théorie afin d’analyser 8 entrevues. Les théories d’Erving Goffman et d’Howard Becker sur la stigmatisation et la culture d’exclusion nous permettent de comprendre et d’analyser la construction des liens sociaux chez les personnes présentant des comportements de hoarding. De même, l’application de l’approche d’Elkaïm à cette problématique nous permet de comprendre un des principaux défis de l’intervention auprès de cette population, la double contrainte. L’analyse nous permet de distinguer 3 profils de hoarder. Ce travail s’inscrit sous un paradigme encore jamais utilisé pour comprendre la problématique du hoarding et propose une compréhension propre au travail social, différente du modèle médical qui prédomine actuellement dans l’intervention et la littérature scientifique. / The main objective of this research is to understand the meaning of the accumulation of objects for the person presenting hoarding behaviours. Based on a constructivist framework, we used the empirical construction of theory to analyse 8 interviews. Stigma and the culture of exclusion of Erving Goffman and Howard Becker theories allowed us to understand and to analyze the construction of social ties among people with hoarding behaviours. The application of the theory of Elkaïm to this problem allowed us to understand one of the great challenges of the intervention with this population, the negative feedback. The analysis allowed us to distinguish 3 profiles of hoarder. This research work proposes a different perspective to hoarding, based on a paradigm that was never used before in the comprehension of that problematic and that is proper to social work, in contrast with the prevailing medical model that dominates the literature.

本研究旨在以Spence和Robbins（1992）工作狂熱建構中的內在驅迫因素和工作樂趣因素為基礎，並加入外在驅迫因素，來探討高科技研發人員過度工作的不同因素對於工作時數以及健康生活工作等層面變項的預測力或關聯性，最後由因素劃分出過度工作者類型，並比較不同類型過度工作者的差異性。本研究採問卷調查法，以249位台灣北部地區的高科技研發人員為樣本以及52位高科技行政人員為工作時數的對照組。研究結果發現：（1）研發人員與全國製造業工作者及高科技行政人員相較下，有顯著的過度工作現象。（2）外在驅迫因素意指源自專業工作環境而迫使個體長時數工作的各影響因素。針對研發人員，包括工作負荷過重、產業特性、組織文化酬賞等外在驅迫因素，以及內在驅迫因素，皆對過度工作具有顯著的預測力。而外在驅迫因素對研發人員過度工作的相對預測力高於內在因素。（3）對於健康生活工作三層面的影響性而言，內在因素中的內在驅迫有廣泛不利於三層面的顯著影響性而屬於健康生活工作的危險因子，內在因素中的工作樂趣則相對地於三層面皆有顯著助益而在三層面居於保護因子的角色；外在驅迫因素中的工作負荷過重，對於生活層面有顯著的不良影響，但對健康和工作沒有顯著影響。（4）辨識出三類型的過度工作研發人員，其中內在驅迫高工作樂趣低的「被驅迫狂」在各層面皆有最不利的行為表現，屬於積極的健康定義下的高危險群，內在驅迫高工作樂趣高的「幹勁狂」則較「被驅迫狂」有顯著較高的生活滿足，內在驅迫普通而工作樂趣高的「幹勁者」雖然長時數工作，但各層面狀況反而有優於全體研發人員平均值的傾向。最後，本研究針對上述研究結果做更深層的探討，並說明在個人層次和組織層次實務上的意涵。 / Two internal factors, “driveness” and “enjoyment of work” from the workaholism model of Spence and Robbins (1992), and “external force” factors were adopted to investigate the phenomenon of excessive work (defined as long hours of working) in the population of high-tech R&D professionals. The purpose of this study is to clarify the effects of these factors on high-tech R&D professionals’ working habits, as well as on their health and life styles. These factors were used to categorize high-tech R&D professionals further. The results showed (1) R&D professionals worked significantly longer hours than high-tech administrative staff and workers in manufacturing industry. (2) “Work overload”, one external force factor, compared to other factors, predicted best to R&D professionals’ hours of working. Moreover, the amount of variance explained by the external force factors was relatively larger than the internal factors. (3) Driveness was constantly found to be a risk factor for one’s holistic health, whereas the enjoyment of work was found to be a protective factor. The third factor, work overload, influenced one’s health only on one’s social life. (4) Three types of overworkers were identified: the nonenthusiastic workaholics (NWs), the enthusiastic workaholics (EWs), and the enthusiasts (Es). Among these overworkers, the NWs acted most consistently with the indicators of unhealthiness, showing that the NWs may be most vulnerable to health complaints, unsatisfied social life, and inefficient work habits. The EWs, though acted similarly as the NWs, were not as extreme as the NWs and had higher life-satisfaction than the NWs. As for Es, who also worked long hours, their health complains were the least of all workers and they had relatively healthy life styles than the other two kinds of workers. Implications of the internal and external factors on the high-tech R&D professionals, as well as the typology of the overworkers, were discussed.

In terms of section 186(1)(e) of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 constructive dismissal occurs where an employee terminated a contract of employment with or without notice because the employer made continued employment intolerable. Work stress is becoming more and more imminent in the workplace. Some employees feel that the amount of work stress also makes their continued employment intolerable, and then they claim constructive dismissal. This raises the question whether the courts should apply the same tests they apply in constructive dismissal cases as well as in cases where the employee resigns because of work stress. But, if the same tests that are used to determine if there has been a constructive dismissal are used in a case where an employee resigns because of work stress, a real danger exists because then it can lead to the misuse of a claim of constructive dismissal by employees who cannot handle a minimum amount of work stress. Over the years the courts have indicated that they apply an objective test in cases of constructive dismissal. This leads to the argument whether subjectivity should play a role, and whether one should look at the subjective perspective of both the employer and the employee. This research looks at numerous court decisions, from both the South African legal system as well as the United Kingdom legal system, in order to determine which tests the South African courts need to apply when they are confronted with a constructive dismissal claim where the employee resigned due to work stress. Constructive dismissal – resignation – work stress – stress due to an excessive workload – work stress and employee wellness – stress based claims. / Thesis (LL.M.

Le devoir d’accommodement raisonnable a fait couler beaucoup d’encre, au Québec et ailleurs au Canada, au cours de la dernière décennie. Depuis la première fois où elle fût énoncée par la Cour suprême du Canada en 1985, les tribunaux ont été appelés à se prononcer à maintes reprises sur cette notion. Partant d’un concept juridique vague et peu précis, les décideurs ont cherché à définir le concept d’accommodement raisonnable à travers une étude approfondie de sa seule limite : la contrainte excessive. Il est désormais acquis que les employeurs ont l’obligation d’adapter le travail et les lieux de travail pour permettre aux personnes handicapées d’avoir accès à l’emploi sans discrimination. Le syndicat, tout comme le salarié visé par une demande d’accommodement, a également l’obligation de collaborer à la recherche de mesures de redressement. Ce mémoire propose une étude jurisprudentielle des concepts d’accommodements raisonnables et de contrainte excessive. Notre analyse portera sur les décisions des tribunaux judiciaires et administratifs rendues au Québec entre 1999 et 2010. La présente étude a pour objet principal d’analyser l’étendue de la notion de contrainte et à la circonscrire avec clarté et précision. / The obligation of reasonable accommodation has been the object of much discussion during the last decade, in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada. Since this issue was first broached by the Supreme Court of Canada in 1985, the courts and tribunals have had many occasions to render decisions on the topic. Starting at the onset with a very vague and indistinct legal concept, decision makers have since sought to define the concept of reasonable accommodation through studying its only limit: undue hardship. It is now accepted that the employers must adapt work and workplaces to enable disabled workers with an access to employment without discrimination. Trade unions, just like employees aimed by a request for accommodation, also both have the obligation to collaborate in the search of measurements of rectification. This Master’s thesis proposes a jurisprudential study of the concepts of reasonable accommodation and undue hardship. Our analysis will relate to the decisions of the judicial and administrative tribunals rendered in Quebec between 1999 and 2010. The present study has for main objective to analyze the extent of the concept of undue hardship and to define it clearly and with precision.
