Due to the globalization evolution, the barriers among countries have been decreasing considerably, leading to a bigger circulation of goods, people and capital. The development of new methods help improve the relationship among nations, as well as the improvement of the international legal cooperation, thus, creating a larger respect and coordination among countries that are seeking validity/accomplishment of their decisions in other States. The reciprocity of having alien decisions being accomplished in each others territory, in other words, a policy of reciprocity assistance between sovereign entities. In Brazil, there was an important change brought by the edition of the Constitutional Amendment nº 45 on December 30th, 2004. This legislative instrument transferred the original competence to decide about the exequatur of a letter rogatory and to homologate foreign sentences to Superior Tribunal de Justiça. The present study aims to show the pertinence about the possibility of the Extraordinary Appeals to refute the decisions pronounced by STJ related to the approval of a foreign sentence, including also the newest of them, the general repercussion The objective is to make a perfected and meticulous study to conclude in a coherent and justified way about the viability or not of this instrument of impugnation / A cooperação jurídica internacional constitui uma importante maneira de incremento nas relações entre nações. Com a evolução da globalização, as barreiras entre os países têm diminuído consideravelmente, levando a uma maior circulação de bens, pessoas e capitais. Desenvolver métodos que ajudem na boa convivência entre as nações, assim como o incremento da cooperação jurídica internacional, gera um maior respeito e coordenação nas relações entre os países que buscam ver as suas decisões sendo cumpridas em outro ordenamento jurídico, assim como ter decisões alienígenas sendo cumpridas em seu território, ou seja, uma política de ajuda recíproca entre entes soberanos. No ordenamento brasileiro, houve uma importante mudança a partir da edição da Emenda Constitucional nº 45 em 30 de dezembro de 2004. Esse instrumento legislativo transferiu a competência originária para dar exequatur em cartas rogatórias e homologar sentenças estrangeiras passou do Supremo Tribunal Federal para o Superior Tribunal de Justiça. O presente estudo pretende abordar a possibilidade de cabimento do Recurso Extraordinário para impugnar as decisões proferidas pelo STJ a respeito da homologação de uma sentença estrangeira. Abordando-se todos os requisitos de admissibilidade de tal recurso, inclusive, o mais novo deles, qual seja, a repercussão geral. Busca-se assim após um estudo acurado e minucioso concluir da maneira mais coerente e justificada sobre a viabilidade ou não dessa maneira de impugnação

Referred Requirement is also known as General Repercussion. Such studies are justified due to the importance of the subject regarding the profound alteration in a constitutional environment and the legal and regimental changes over them, and how the whole set of bylaws reflected in the Federal Supreme Court as well as in the extraordinary Law System. As to understand these alterations, firstly, we have to analyse the historical and conceptual aspects in the North- American system concerning its influence since the appeals to the Supreme Court genesis. Thus, we move on to the analysis of a similar institutution of remedy qualification named Relevance Allegement which was in full force between 1975 and 1988 in the Brazilian Law System. Going through the necessary historical events, we move to the inspection of different implications from the gradual adoption of law precedents until its binding effect in the current Law System and how the concepts and especificalities of Relevance Allegement, together with those of the Relevance Allegement, are necessary to the theoretical understanding of vague concept and the judicial discricionariety. At last, the procedimental issue is shown from the legislation and update of the subject concerning the Federal Supreme Court. The goal of this current work is to understand the institute which names it from the systematization of various historical, conceptual, and practical aspects able to illustrate an important convergency between the Civil Law and the Common Law traditions as well as the conjugation of these factors that contributed to the allignment precipuos purpose of the Federal Supreme Court as one of an essencial constitutional Court / O presente trabalho tem por objetivo o estudo da exigência surgida com a reforma constitucional de 2004, para o recurso extraordinário, consistente na demonstração da relevância e transcendência da matéria nele tratada. Referida exigência foi nominada como Repercussão Geral. Justificam-se os estudos pela importância de tema relacionado à essa profunda alteração de âmbito constitucional e das mudanças legais e regimentais sobrevindas, e como todo esse conjunto normativo trouxe reflexos no Supremo Tribunal Federal e no sistema processual extraordinário. Para compreensão dessas alterações, primeiramente, examina-se os aspectos históricos e conceituais do sistema norte-americano, em razão de sua influência desde a gênese do recurso extraordinário. Passa-se, então, à análise de similar instituto de qualificação recursal denominado Argüição de Relevância, que vigeu de 1975 a 1988 no sistema processual brasileiro. Percorridas as quadras históricas necessárias, passa-se ao exame das diferentes implicações decorrentes da gradual adoção dos precedentes judiciais até seu efeito vinculante no sistema processual vigente, e como os conceitos e especificidades da Argüição de Relevância, cotejados com os da Repercussão Geral, são necessários para compreensão teórica do conceito vago e da discricionariedade judicial. Por fim, coloca-se a questão procedimental a partir da legislação e da atualidade da matéria perante o Supremo Tribunal Federal. O objetivo do presente trabalho é o de compreender o instituto que o nomina, a partir da sistematização dos vários aspectos históricos, conceituais e práticos capazes de demonstrar uma importante convergência entre as tradições da civil law e da commnon law, e como a conjugação desses fatores contribuíram para o alinhamento da finalidade precípua do Supremo Tribunal Federal como a de uma Corte essencialmente constitucional

Action for retrial and for nullity Abstract This diploma thesis deals with action for retrial and for nullity. The aim is to provide a systematic interpretation about both of these institutes and characterize them in a system of extraordinary remedies. Although both of them are regulated in part four chapter two of the Act No. 99/1963 Coll., Civil Procedure Code, as amended, their respective purposes are completely different. Action for retrial serves for a remedy of factual defects as a final decision could not stand due to a fundamental change of facts whereas action for nullity serves for a remedy of important procedural defects which affected court decision itself or proceeding preceding it. Both institutes can challenge a final decision and break the legal certainty brought by it. This diploma thesis contains four chapters. The first of them deals with remedial systems and remedies containing a brief characteristic of individual types of remedial systems and remedies. The second chapter addressing action for retrial and the third chapter dealing with action for nullity represent main parts of the thesis. Division into subchapters is almost identical for both of them and the subchapters cover the following topics: historical development of both institutes, conditions of and grounds for admissibility,...

This thesis is a queer analysis of two graphic novels by writer Alan Moore: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series (art by Kevin O’Neill, 1999-Present) and Lost Girls (art by Melinda Gebbie, 1992-3). These two works re-contextualize familiar characters such as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Mina Murray, and Alice to uncover both the liberating desires and the sexist, homophobic, and imperialistic anxieties underlining historically popular fiction. Focusing on three characters utilized in Moore’s work, this thesis argues that the ideological associations with those chosen characters and the reconstructions of queerness in their narratives offer contemporary subjects resistance to limiting cultural tendencies and create an alternative space that call attention to phobic societal constructs. Both Lost Girls and the League series redefine discursively constituted identities and offer the potential to re-write normative codes of sex and sexuality.

Recent developments in the field of nanotechnology allowed the access to adequate length scale necesary to closely investigate spins and opened large prospects of using electrons spin degree of freedom in new generation electronic devices. This have lead to the development of a vibrant field dubbed spintronics.Here, we present experiments that combine two very promising materials: namely cardon nanotubes and palladium-nickel (PdNi), with the purpose to manipulate the electronic spin both in the classical and in the quantum regime. We implement a quantum dot connected to two non-collinear ferromagnetic leads that acts as a spin-valve device. The versatility of carbon nanotubes to fabricate quantum dots when connected to PdNi electrodes via tunneling barriers is combined with the particular transversal anisotropy of the PdNi when shaped in nanometric stripes.For devices exploiting actively the electronic spin, however control over classical or quantum spin rotations has still to be achieved. A detailed understanding of the magnetic characteristics of PdxNi 100-x alloy is crucial both for understanding the switching characteristics of such the spin-valve device and for optimizing its electronic properties. We present a magnetic study of Pd20Ni80 and Pd90Ni10 nanostripes by means of extraordinary Hall effect measurements, at low temperature, for various dimensions, thicknesses and capping films. In the case of Pd20Ni80, this experiment is a first at low temperature.The CNT-based device proposed here was tested both in linear and nonlinear transportregimes. While the linear spin dependent transport displays the usual signatures of electronicconfinement, the finite bias magnetoresistance displays an impressive magnetoresistance antisymmetric reversal in contrast with the linear regime. This effect can only be understood if electronic interactions are considered. It is accompanied by a linear dispersion of the zeromagnetoresistance point in the bias-field plane. Simulations based on a proposed model confirm a current induced spin precession, electrically tunable due to the quantum nature ofthe device.

This dissertation presents subwavelength optics with focus on the theory and applications of subwavelength apertures in a metal film. Two main issues regarding the optics with subwavelength apertures are investigated. As the first issue, the extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) through a single hole in a metallic waveguide is presented. A total transmission through a single subwavelength aperture is theoretically predicted for a perfect electric conductor regardless of the aperture size, without relying on aperture arrays and surface corrugations as presented in previous works. The waveguide EOT is then applied to boost the optical throughput of an apertured near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) probe. Using a new structure for the apertured NSOM probe which allows for waveguide EOT, the optical throughput and the damage threshold are boosted by 100× and 40× as compared to a conventional structure, and the experimental findings are backed-up by comprehensive finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. Single fluorescent molecules are scanned using the EOT apertured NSOM probe, and a spatial resolution of 62 nm is achieved. As the second issue, subwavelength apertures are found useful for optical trapping. A small dielectric particle can significantly change the optical transmission through an aperture by dielectric loading, and subsequently, a large optical force is induced which favors trapping. A self-induced back-action (SIBA) optical trap is designed using a circular nanohole in a gold film. Trapping of 50 nm polystyrene particle is experimentally achieved, which is not possible using a conventional single beam optical tweezers. The circular nanohole SIBA trap works beyond the perturbative regime, as proven by FDTD simulations and a Maxwell stress tensor analysis. We further improve the nanohole trapping using a double-nanohole, which is more sensitive for small dielectric changes due to the intense local field enhancement between its two sharp tips. A single 12 nm silica sphere is experimentally trapped using the double-nanohole, as the smallest trapped dielectric particle reported. We also achieve the trapping of a single protein – a bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein with a hydrodynamic radius of 3.4 nm in the folded form. The trapped BSA is also unfolded by the large optical force, as confirmed by experiments with changing optical power and changing pH. The high signal-to-noise ratio of 33 in monitoring single protein trapping and unfolding shows a tremendous potential for using the double-nanohole as a sensor for protein binding events at a single molecule level. / Graduate

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Granular magnetic systems can be composed by magnetic particles or clusters with size of some nanometers. These magnetic nanoparticles present different magnetic order phases, as superparamagnetic, and they can be embedded in both, metallic or insulating matrix. These systems present several phenomena such as the giant magnetoresistance (GMR), extraordinary Hall effect (EHE), tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) and Coulomb blockade. That phenomena use to disappear when a small termal fluctuation is high enough to reverse the magnetization of the clusters leading the lost the magnetic information in a very short time range. When it occurs, the particles are in superparamagnetic phase. In order to maintain the magnetic information at high values of temperature, or even to suppress the superparamagnetic limit, many works have tried to use an antiferromagnetic matrix, to induce the increase of the energy barrier among the two easy directions of magnetization by the exchange coupling in the grain(FM)/matrix(AFM) interfaces, with the purpose of stabilizing the particles magnetization. In this work, we have produced Co granular samples embedded in SiO2/CoO insulating/antifferomagnetic matrix through a sequential deposition by magnetron sputtering, in order to study the exchange bias of Co grains laterally surrounded by CoO.Were perfomed measurements of transmission eletronic microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), measures low fields thermomagnetics (ZFC-FC), to obtain answers of the structural and magnétic charater of the samples. The Exchange Bias were investigated by extraordinary Hall effect, meauresments in differents temperature values in a cooling field (FC) of 5kOe. These non conventional measurements, are carried out with field cooling and the applied external field to perfomed the loop hysteresis both with perpendicular direction to the substrate. The effective anistropy, changes the magnitude up to three ordes of magnitude for different thicknesses of CoO in the limit T!0. On the other hand, the HEB linearily decreases, and goes to zero at a certain temperature. This temperature, is approximately, equal to that where the split of ZFC-FC curves occurs. This split is associated with the CoO blocking temperature, i.e. the ordering temperature of CoO. These results are reported from the finite size effect present in thin films. For the specific case of CoO, these effects lead to a nonzero net magnetization coming from uncompensed moments present on the surface that, in some cases, are responsible for the magnetic coupling governed by a local disorder and frustration, a spin-glass-like behavior. The extraodinary Hall effect and giant magnetoresistance were study of thin Fe-rich amorphous films and Fe-rich/Cu multilayers. Were investigated and compared the extraordinary Hall effect in these two types of samples and discussed it in terms of thickness and sample structure. The thicker films exhibited a strong in-plane magnetic anisotropy, and by decreasing film thickness both saturated Hall resistivity and Hall sensitivity increase. Electrical conductance increases and Hall resistivity decreases when the films are sandwiched with Cu. / Sistemas granulares magnéticos podem ser formados por grãos ou aglomerados magnéticos cujo tamanho é de alguns nanômetros. Estes grãos magnéticos apresentam diferentes fases de ordenamento magnético, como o superparamagnetismo, e podem estar envolvidos tanto por matrizes metálicas como matrizes isolantes. Estes sistemas possuem uma riqueza de fenômenos, como a magnetorresitência gigante (GMR), Efeito Hall Extraordinário (EHE), magnetorresistência túnel (TMR), bloqueio de coulomb entre outros. Estes fenômenos muitas vezes desaparecem quando à energia térmica for suficiente para inverter a magnetização dos grãos, levando-os a perder informação magnética num intervalo de tempo muito curto. Quando isto ocorre dizemos que os grãos estão na fase superparamagnética. Para reter a informação magnética a temperatura ambiente, ou até mesmo suprimir o superparamagnetismo, tem-se tentado o uso de uma matriz antiferromagnética (AFM) onde os grãos ficam imersos, e o acoplamento de troca na interface grão (FM)/matriz (AFM) pode induzir um aumento na barreira de energia entre as duas direções de fácil magnetização e com isso estabilizar a magnetização dos grãos. Neste trabalho foram produzidas amostras granulares de Co imersos em matriz isolante/antiferromagnética de SiO2/CoO pela deposição alternada do metal e dos isolantes por magnetron sputtering , com a finalidade de estudar a evolução do exchange bias entre os grãos de Co que estão lateralmente envolvidos por CoO. Foram realizadas medidas de Microscopia Eletrônica de Transmissão (TEM), Difração de raios-X (XRD), medidas termomagnéticas a baixos campos (ZFC-FC), para obter respostas quanto ao caráter estrutural e magnético das amostras. O Exchange bias foi investigado por efeito Hall extraordinário, medidas à diferentes temperaturas sob um campo de resfriamento (FC) de 5kOe. Estas medidas, diferente do convencional, são realizadas com o campo de resfriamento e o campo externo aplicado para realizar a curva de magnetização ambas na direção perpendicular ao substrato. A anisotropia efetiva, varia, na sua magnitude, até três ordens de grandeza para diferentes espessuras de CoO para o limite T !0. Por outro lado, o HEB decresce linearmente, até ir à zero numa dada temperatura. Esta temperatura onde extingue-se o HEB é, aproxiamdamente, a mesma onde ocorre à separação das curvas ZFC-FC. Esta separação nas curvas está associado com a temperatura de bloqueio de CoO, ou seja, temperatura de ordenamento dos grãos de CoO responsáveis pelo acoplamento direto com os grãos de Co. Estes resultados reportados são oriúndos dos efeitos de tamanho de grão, presentes em filmes muitos finos. Para o caso específico do CoO, estes efeitos levam há presença de uma magnetização diferente de zero oriúndos dos momentos não compensados presentes na superfície que, para alguns casos, são responsáveis pelo acoplamento magnético governado por uma desordem local e frustação, um compotamento do tipo spin-glass-like . Efeito Hall extraordinário e magnetorresistência gigante foram estudados em filmes finos amorfos de FINEMET e multicamdas FINEMET/Cu. Foi investigado e comparado o efetio Hall nos dois tipos de amostras, e discutido em termos da espessura e estrutura da amostra. Para os filmes mais espessos foi observado uma forte anisotropia no plano do filme, por outro lado, quando a espessura diminui ambos, a resistividade Hall satura e a sensibilidade Hall aumenta considerável. A condutividade elétrica aumenta e a resistividade Hall diminui para as multicamadas FINEMET/Cu.

The thesis deals with the psychosocial assistance and the entire complex of associated activities which have become a standard in helping people who have been affected by extraordinary events, critical situations and by the actions which are connected with the protection of people. The activities have become the standard in daily work of members of the Fire Rescue Service of South Bohemian Region, as well as of some other institutions, which are parties of the integrated rescue system, during their cooperation and joint intervention. Extraordinary events of various intensity, frequency and extent affect lives of people. The state creates various tools and measures and strives to be ready for harmful effects of these phenomena, address them effectively and minimize their impact. The Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic is the guarantor in this field; its work is based on Act No. 320/2015 Coll., On Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, as amended. The main task of the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic is, among others, to protect lives and health of citizens of the Czech Republic. To fulfil its mission, the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic also provides psychosocial assistance to affected people during performing their rescue and relief activities. In that way, the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic develops its care and responds to overall needs of the citizens of the Czech Republic. Such an offer to citizens is expanded even further during joint interventions of more parties of the integrated rescue system. Act no. 239/2000 Coll., On the Integrated Rescue System, as amended, sets the possibilities of coordination and the broad platform of collaboration and cooperation with other important governmental and nongovernmental organizations and institutions. The aim of my thesis was to evaluate the entire complex of activities of psychosocial assistance to people affected by exceptional events. Having known the theoretical sources and especially after the subsequent evaluation of my qualitative research, I wanted to make some suggestions and recommendations for changes and improvements in providing psychosocial assistance. I have formulated five research questions which reflect the full scope of the examined issues. The thesis is divided into two parts: a standard theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part includes the research and analysis of scientific literature and related laws which deal with the tasks of the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, psychological services, parties of the integrated rescue system and primarily with the psychosocial assistance. The practical part implements the tried and tested qualitative survey, which has been carri

The aim of this diploma thesis is to evaluate the needs and preparedness of municipalities with extended competence of the South Bohemian Region for an extraordinary event of drought. To achieve the stated goal, a search of available literature and foreign sources was carried out, which helped obtain the basic information necessary to understand this issue. A qualitative research method based on a structured interview was used to analyze the needs and readiness of municipalities with extended competence. This research was carried out among the crisis management personnel of municipalities with extended competence in the territory of the South Bohemian Region. Other experts such as those involved in the crisis management department of the South Bohemian Regional Office, the Department of the Environment of Municipalities with Extended Powers or the Fire Brigade of the South Bohemian Region were also questioned. The available documents also examined details of selected aspects that increase the resilience and preparedness of municipalities with extended jurisdiction for drought. These documents examined the extent of involvement of state administration and self-government in drought preparedness issues and the way of implementation in the analyzed documents. Afterwards, the information collected was arranged and evaluated. The research has shown that the preparedness of the municipalities with extended powers for the extraordinary event of drought is insufficient. Documentation dealing with drought issues has not been elaborated for individual administrative districts of municipalities with extended competence and has not been incorporated in the emergency plan of the region or the crisis plan of the municipality with extended competence. Another problem is the insufficient information of municipalities with extended competence on drought episodes in the administrative districts of municipalities with extended competence in the territory of the South Bohemian Region. The research also identified a problem with a low number of drinking water sources and insufficient provision of alternative or emergency drinking water sources.
