Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) are computer programs that model individual learners and adapt instruction to help each learner differently. One way ITSs differ from human tutors is that few ITSs give learners a way to ask questions. When learners can ask for help, their questions have the potential to improve learning directly and also act as a new source of model data to help the ITS personalize instruction. Inquiry modeling gives ITSs the ability to answer learner questions and refine their learner models with an inexpensive new input channel. In order to support inquiry modeling, an advanced planning formalism is applied to ITS learner modeling. Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) differ from more widely used ITS architectures because they can plan complex action sequences in uncertain situations with machine learning. Tractability issues have previously precluded POMDP use in ITS models. This dissertation introduces two improvements, priority queues and observation chains, to make POMDPs scale well and encompass the large problem sizes that real-world ITSs must confront. A new ITS was created to support trainees practicing a military task in a virtual environment. The development of the Inquiry Modeling POMDP Adaptive Trainer (IMP) began with multiple formative studies on human and simulated learners that explored inquiry modeling and POMDPs in intelligent tutoring. The studies suggest the new POMDP representations will be effective in ITS domains having certain common characteristics. iv Finally, a summative study evaluated IMP’s ability to train volunteers in specific practice scenarios. IMP users achieved post-training scores averaging up to 4.5 times higher than users who practiced without support and up to twice as high as trainees who used an ablated version of IMP with no inquiry modeling. IMP’s implementation and evaluation helped explore questions about how inquiry modeling and POMDP ITSs work, while empirically demonstrating their efficacy

Illegitimate acquisition and use of data is a problematic issue faced by many organizations operating web servers on the internet today. Despite frameworks of rules to prevent ”scraping bots” from carrying out this action, they have developed advanced methods to continue taking data. Following research into what the problem is and how it can be handled, this report identifies and evaluates how machine learning can be used to detect bots. Since developing and testing a machine learning solution proved difficult, an alternative solution was also developed aiming to polarize (separate) bot and human traffic through behavioral analysis. This particular solution to optimize traffic session classification is presented and discussed, as well as, other key findings which can help in detecting and preventing these unwanted visitors. / Olaglig insamling och användning av data är problematiskt för många organisationer som idag använder sig av webbservrar på internet. Trots ramar av regler för att förhindra ”scraping bots” så har de utvecklat avancerade sätt att komma åt data. Efter forskning om vad problemet är och hur det kan hanteras, identifierar och evaluerar denna rapport hur maskininlärning kan användas för att detektera bottar. Då utvecklingen och testningen av en lösning med hjälp av maskininlärning visade sig bli svårt, utvecklades en alternativ lösning med målet att polarisera (separera) bottrafik och legitim trafik. Denna lösning presenteras och diskuteras i rapporten tillsammans med andra nyckelresultat som kan hjälpa till att upptäcka och förhindra dessa oönskade besökare.

Si l’expression liaison du contentieux est communément utilisée en jurisprudence administrative, dans les manuels et ouvrages de contentieux administratif, c’est pour être confondue avec la règle de la décision administrative préalable. Or, la liaison du contentieux est plus vaste que cette dernière, elle renvoie à une réalité différente qui reste à découvrir. L’étude pratique de la liaison du contentieux révèle qu’elle est dans l’intérêt des parties à l’instance et qu’elle est l’instrument de travail du juge car sans elle, le litige ne peut être réglé. Et comme le litige est avant tout l’affaire des parties à l’instance, ce sont elles qui devront lier le contentieux. Le juge, destinataire de la liaison du contentieux, va intervenir dans sa réalisation alors qu’il restait initialement à l’extérieur de celle-ci. L’analyse juridique de la liaison du contentieux montre qu’elle exerce en parallèle, et ce à tous les niveaux du procès, une emprise forte sur la matière litigieuse qu’elle délimite. Le contentieux, qui se lie devant les premiers juges du fond, se cristallise en effet après l’expiration du délai de recours avant d’être rendu totalement immuable à la clôture de l’instruction. Le litige, tel qu’il a été lié, est « transféré » dans les instances dérivées pour être, éventuellement, rejugé. La liaison du contentieux se poursuit alors devant le juge d’appel et de cassation mais tout en assurant au litige son unicité. / If expression link of contentious is commonly used in administrative case law, in manuals and books of administrative contentious, it is to be confused with the rule of administrative decision. But the link of contentious is vaster than this last, it returns in a different reality which remains to discover. The practical study of link of contentious reveals that it is in interest of litigants and that itis the working instrument of the judge because without it, litigation cannot be settled out of court. And as litigation is before the affair of litigants, it is them who will have to link contentious. The judge, addressee of the link of contentious, is going to play a part of link of contentious’srealization while he resided outside this one initially. The juridical analysis of the link of contentious shows that it exercises in the same time a strong hold, at all the law suit, over the litigation which it delimits. In effect, the contentious, which linked in front of the first investigation magistrates, is crystallized after the expiry of the deadline of submission for a legal settlement before being completely irremovable at the close of investigation of the case. Litigation, such as it was linked, is possibly “transferred” in other proceedings to be re-judged. The link of contentious continues then in front of the judge of appeal and cassation but while ensuring to the litigation his uniqueness.

本論文主要在探索間接請求語的回應策略，針對以英語為外語的台灣高中生做討論。共有120位受試者，分為3組，即以英語為母語的(Native American)高中生，以中文為母語的（Native Chinese）高中生，及以英語為外語的(Learning English as a Foreign Language)高中生。每組均有40位受試者，且男女數目相同。主要的實驗工具是「完成對話問卷」(DCT)，設計上有12個真實生活的情境，並以請求語的種類(傳統間接請求、非傳統間接請求)作為變因。所有回應策略被分成四類。策略(一)僅有是否、(S1 yes/ no alone)、策略(二)是否加上資訊或動作(S2 yes/ no plus information or action)、策略(三)資訊或動作(S3 information or action)及策略(四)其他(S4 others)。本研究量化方面以卡方檢定來辨別三組間是否有顯著差異，並輔以質性研究作為進一步的分析以求更全盤瞭解各策略的使用。 結果發現，普遍來說，台灣高中生在語用能力上仍顯不足。第二點、三組受試者在回應間接請求語上有不同的表現。以英文為母語的受試者偏好使用策略(二)是否加上資訊或動作(S2 yes/ no plus information or action)，而以英語為外語的高中生和以中文為母語的高中生卻都較偏愛使用策略(三)資訊或動作(S3 information or action)。第三點、以英文為外語的高中生在英語的使用上雖然有受到外語文化的影響，但其母語(即中文)對於其第二語言的使用影響更深遠。此外，三組受試者對於不同形式(CID, NCID)的間接請求語，在回應上採用不同的策略。再者，本研究顯示社會文化在請求語及其回應上扮演著重要的角色，在某個文化中被接受的語言使用可能在另一個文化中是不恰當的。最後，根據本文的探討，提出一些在英語學習與教學及日後研究的應用與建議。 / This study aims to explore and discuss the strategy use of EFL senior high school students in Taiwan when they respond to indirect requests. One hundred and twenty senior high school students participated in this study. They were divided into 3 groups--- native Americans (NA), native Chinese (NC), and EFL (English as a Foreign Language). There were 40 participants in each group, and the number of males and females were the same. The main instrument in this study was Discourse Completion Task (DCT), designed with 12 real life situations. One variable in the DCT was the different types of indirect requests--- Conventional Indirect (CID) and Non-conventional Indirect (NCID). The participants’ responses were divided into four exclusive categories, namely, S1 (yes/ no alone), S2 (yes/ no plus information or action), S3 (information or action) and S4 (others). To provide the quantitative results, Chi-square was employed to test the presence of statistically significant difference existing across the three groups. In addition, qualitative analysis was conducted to fully understand the employment of each strategy. The result showed that high school students in Taiwan generally had deficient pragmatic competence. Second, the three participant groups performed differently when responding to indirect requests. It was found that the NA group tended to select Yes/ no plus information or action (S2) whereas the NC and EFL groups preferred to employ Information or action (S3). Third, the performance of the EFL group heavily followed their L1’s cultural norms, although some of their behavior was influenced by the culture of their target language. In addition, participants among three groups tended to use different respondent strategies when encountering different indirect requests, namely, CID and NCID. Furthermore, this study also found that cultural norms play a crucial role in responses to requests. The influence of cultural norms should never be neglected because an acceptable behavior in one culture may be very inappropriate in another. At last, according to the findings, this study hoped to give some suggestions and implications for English learning and teaching as well as the future research.

Systeme zum automatisierten Fahren erlauben es, die Fahrzeugführung in einem gewissen Maß vom Fahrer an das Fahrzeug zu übertragen. Da der Fahrer auf diese Weise unterstützt, entlastet oder sogar ersetzt werden kann, werden Systeme zum automatisierten Fahren mit einem großen Potential für Verbesserungen hinsichtlich Straßenverkehrssicherheit, Fahrkomfort und Effizienz verbunden - vorausgesetzt, dass diese Systeme angemessen benutzt werden. Systeme zum hochautomatisierten Fahren stellen in diesem Zusammenhang eine besondere Herausforderung für die Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion dar: So wird es dem Fahrer bei diesem Automatisierungsgrad zwar zum ersten mal ermöglicht, das System nicht mehr permanent überwachen zu müssen und somit die Fahrtzeit potentiell für fahrfremde Tätigkeiten zu nutzen. Es wird jedoch immer noch erwartet, dass der Fahrer nach einer vorherigen angemessenen Übernahmeaufforderung die Fahrzeugführung im Bedarfsfall gewährleisten kann. Angemessenes Automatisierungsvertrauen stellt daher eine zentrale Komponente für die erfolgreiche Kooperation zwischen Fahrern und Systemen zum hochautomatisierten Fahren dar und sollte bei der Gestaltung derartiger Systeme berücksichtigt werden. Frühere Befunde weisen beispielsweise bereits darauf hin, dass unterschiedliche Informationen über automatisierte Systeme ein möglicher Ansatz sein könnten um das Automatisierungsvertrauen des Fahrers aktiv zu gestalten. Automatisierungsvertrauen als Variable in der Gestaltung von Fahrzeugtechnologie zu berücksichtigen erfordert jedoch zunächst auch in der Lage zu sein, Automatisierungsvertrauen adäquat messen zu können. In diesem Sinne war die Zielsetzung dieser Arbeit einerseits die Untersuchung verschiedener Methoden zur Messung des Automatisierungsvertrauens des Fahrers sowie andererseits die Identifikation, prototypische Umsetzung und Bewertung potentieller Ansätze zur Gestaltung von Automatisierungsvertrauen im Kontext von Systemen zum hochautomatisierten Fahren. Zu diesem Zweck wurden drei Fahrsimulatorstudien mit insgesamt N = 280 Probanden durchgeführt. Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass (i) sowohl Selbstberichtsverfahren als auch Verhaltensmaße prinzipiell dazu verwendet werden können um das Automatisierungsvertrauen des Fahrers in Systeme zum hochautomatisierten Fahren zu operationalisieren, (ii) eine vorherige Auseinandersetzung mit funktionalen Grenzen von Systemen zum hochautomatisierten Fahren einen nachhaltigen Effekt auf das Automatisierungsvertrauen des Fahrers in das System haben kann und (iii) insbesondere Informationen über die Funktionsweise von Systemen zum hochautomatisierten Fahren das Automatisierungsvertrauen des Fahrers in derartige Systeme verbessern können. Damit liefert die vorliegende Arbeit sowohl wertvolle Ansatze zur Messbarmachung als auch Hinweise für die Gestaltung von Automatisierungsvertrauen im Kontext des hochautomatisierten Fahrens. Darüber hinaus können die Befunde dieser Arbeit in gewissem Maße auch auf andere Arten von Fahrzeugautomatisierung sowie unterschiedliche Domänen und Anwendungen von Automatisierung übertragen werden. / Automated driving systems allow to transfer a certain degree of vehicle control from the driver to a vehicle. By assisting, augmenting or even supplementing the driver, automated driving systems have been associated with enormous potential for improving driving safety, comfort, and efficiency - provided that they are used appropriately. Among those systems, conditional automated driving systems are particularly challenging for human-automation interaction: While the driver is no longer required to permanently monitor conditional automated driving systems, he / she is still expected to provide fallback performance of the dynamic driving task after adequate prior notification. Therefore, facilitating appropriate automation trust is a key component for enabling successful cooperation between drivers and conditional automated driving systems. Earlier work indicates that providing drivers with proper information about conditional automated driving systems might be one promising approach to do this. Considering the role of automation trust as a variable in the design of vehicle technology, however, also requires that drivers` automation trust can be viably measured in the first place. Accordingly, the objectives of this thesis were to explore difffferent methods for measuring drivers` automation trust in the context of conditional automated driving as well as the identification, implementation and evaluation of possible approaches for designing drivers` automation trust in conditional automated driving systems. For these purposes, three driving simulator studies with N = 280 participants were conducted. The results indicate that (i) both self-report measures and behavioral measures can be used to assess drivers` automation trust in conditional automated driving systems, (ii) prior familiarization with system limitations can have a lasting effffect on drivers` automation trust in conditional automated driving systems and (iii) particularly information about the processes of conditional automated driving systems might promote drivers` automation trust in these systems. Thus, the present research contributes much needed approaches to both measuring and designing automation trust in the context of conditional automated driving. In addition, the current findings might also be transferred to higher levels of driving automation as well as other domains and applications of automation.

La popularité croissante des applications Internet très gourmandes en bande passante (P2P, streaming,...) nous pousse à considérer le problème suivant :Comment construire des systèmes de communications collectives efficaces sur une plateforme à grande échelle ? Le développement de schéma de communications collectives dans le cadre d'un réseau distribué à grande échelle est une tâche difficile, qui a été largement étudiée et dont de multiples solutions ont été proposées. Toutefois, une nouvelle approche globale et systématique est nécessaire, une approche qui combine des modèles de réseaux et la conception algorithmique.Dans ce mémoire nous proposons l'utilisation de modèles capables de capturer le comportement d'un réseau réel et suffisamment simples pour que leurs propriétés mathématiques puissentêtre étudiées et pour qu'il soit possible de créer des algorithmesoptimaux. Premièrement, nous considérons le problème d'évaluation de la bande passante disponible pour une connexion point-à-point donnée. Nousétudions la façon d'obtenir des jeux de données de bande passante, utilisant plateforme PlanetLab. Nous présentons aussi nos propres jeux de données, jeux obtenus avec bedibe, un logiciel que nous avons développé. Ces données sont nécessaires pour évaluer les performances des différents algorithmesde réseau. Bien qu'on trouve de nombreux jeux de données de latence,les jeux de données de bande passante sont très rares. Nous présentons ensuite un modèle, appelé LastMile, qui estime la bande passante. En profitant des jeux de données décrits précédemment, nous montrons que cet algorithme est capable de prédire la bande passante entre deux noeuds donnés avec une précision comparable au meilleur algorithme connu de prédiction (DMF). De plus le modèle LastMile s'étend naturellement aux prédictions dans le scénario de congestion (plusieurs connexions partageant un même lien). Nous sommes effectivement en mesure de démontrer, à l'aide des ensembles de données PlanetLab, que la prédiction LastMile est préférable dans des tels scénarios.Dans le troisième chapitre, nous proposons des nouveaux algorithmes pour résoudre le problème de diffusion. Nous supposons que le réseau est modélisé par le modèle LastMile. Nous montrons que, sous cette hypothèse, nous sommes en mesure de fournir des algorithmes avec des ratios d'approximation élevés. De plus nous étendons le modèle LastMile, de manière à y intégrer des artéfacts de connectivité, dans notre cas ce sont des firewalls qui empêchent certains nœuds de communiquer directement entre eux. Dans ce dernier cas, nous sommes également en mesure de fournir des algorithmes d'approximation avec des garanties de performances prouvables. Les chapitres 1 à 3 forment les trois étapes accomplies de notre programme qui visent trois buts. Premièrement, développer à partir dezéro un modèle de réseau de communication. Deuxièmement, prouver expérimentalement sa performance. Troisièmement, montrer qu'il peut être utilisé pour développer des algorithmes qui résolvent les problèmes de communications collectives. Dans le 4e chapitre, nous montrons comment on peut concevoir dessystèmes de communication efficaces, selon différents modèles decoûts, en utilisant des techniques combinatoires,tout en utilisant des hypothèses simplificatrices sur la structure duréseau et les requêtes. Ce travail est complémentaire au chapitre précédent puisque auparavant, nous avons adopté l'hypothèse que les connectionsétaient autonomes (i.e. nous n'avons aucun contrôle sur le routage des connexions simples). Dans le chapitre 4, nous montrons comment résoudre le problème du routage économe en énergie, étant donnée une topologie fixée. / The increasing popularity of Internet bandwidth-intensive applications prompts us to consider followingproblem: How to compute efficient collective communication schemes on large-scale platform?The issue of designing a collective communication in the context of a large scale distributed networkis a difficult and a multi-level problem. A lot of solutions have been extensively studied andproposed. But a new, comprehensive and systematic approach is required, that combines networkmodels and algorithmic design of solutions.In this work we advocate the use of models that are able to capture real-life network behavior,but also are simple enough that a mathematical analysis of their properties and the design of optimalalgorithms is achievable.First, we consider the problem of the measuring available bandwidth for a given point-topointconnection. We discuss how to obtain reliable datasets of bandwidth measurements usingPlanetLab platform, and we provide our own datasets together with the distributed software usedto obtain it. While those datasets are not a part of our model per se, they are necessary whenevaluating the performance of various network algorithms. Such datasets are common for latencyrelatedproblems, but very rare when dealing with bandwidth-related ones.Then, we advocate for a model that tries to accurately capture the capabilities of a network,named LastMile model. This model assumes that essentially the congestion happens at the edgesconnecting machines to the wide Internet. It has a natural consequence in a bandwidth predictionalgorithm based on this model. Using datasets described earlier, we prove that this algorithm is ableto predict with an accuracy comparable to best known network prediction algorithm (DistributedMatrix Factorization) available bandwidth between two given nodes. While we were unable toimprove upon DMF algorithm in the field of point-to-point prediction, we show that our algorithmhas a clear advantage coming from its simplicity, i.e. it naturally extends to the network predictionsunder congestion scenario (multiple connections sharing a bandwidth over a single link). We areactually able to show, using PlanetLab datasets, that LastMile prediction is better in such scenarios.In the third chapter, we propose new algorithms for solving the large scale broadcast problem.We assume that the network is modeled by the LastMile model. We show that under thisassumption, we are able to provide algorithms with provable, strong approximation ratios. Takingadvantage of the simplicity and elasticity of the model, we can even extend it, so that it captures theidea of connectivity artifacts, in our case firewalls preventing some nodes to communicate directlybetween each other. In the extended case we are also able to provide approximation algorithmswith provable performance.The chapters 1 to 3 form three successful steps of our program to develop from scratch amathematical network communication model, prove it experimentally, and show that it can beapplied to develop algorithms solving hard problems related to design of communication schemesin networks.In the chapter 4 we show how under different network cost models, using some simplifyingassumptions on the structure of network and queries, one can design very efficient communicationschemes using simple combinatorial techniques. This work is complementary to the previous chapter in the sense that previously when designing communication schemes, we assumed atomicityof connections, i.e. that we have no control over routing of simple connections. In chapter 4 weshow how to solve the problem of an efficient routing of network request, given that we know thetopology of the network. It shows the importance of instantiating the parameters and the structureof the network in the context of designing efficient communication schemes.

Our goal is identifying the demand and knowing the affectivity present in families under this situation. In the quantitative level, we verified that, in the period from July 2004 to March 2005, the Requests for Custody were the kind of process litigated in second position. Among the Social Workers, the Requests for Custody were in first position. Considering the families involved in Requests for Custody, the indication was that the majority in situation of poverty. Among the solicitors, the grandmother on the mother s side was remarkable. In the qualitative level, the research was developed, through two families, considering two axes that are interconnected and superposed. The first axis, having the affectivity as its category, characteristic of family relations and family living when we work with the themes of characterization of feelings and the tensions that constitute and engender the Requests for Custody. The other axis, having the social and individual disqualification as its category, refers to the interface of the family with the social context and the ethical-political suffering. We concluded that there is the need for higher attention from public policies in the town in order to include families with children in custody condition and also that these situations must be analyzed very carefully by the social workers due to the impressive demand and their complexity. At last, these requests must not be another responsibility for the family due to the inefficiency of the system of social protection as well as these families need a collective space for sheltering and elaborating their affectivity / Neste trabalho realizamos um estudo no plano quantitativo e qualitativo sobre os Pedidos de Guarda na Vara da Infância e Juventude na Comarca de Santos. Temos como objeto, as relações socioafetivas intergeracionais que ocorrem nos Pedidos de Guarda de criança, requeridos pelas avós maternas; como objetivos, identificar tais pedidos e conhecer as relações socioafetivas familiares na perspectiva intergeracional que sustentam as demandas de guarda. No plano quantitativo, constatamos que no período de julho de 2004 a março de 2005, o Pedido de Guarda foi o tipo de processo autuado em segundo lugar. Na demanda para os Assistentes Sociais, o Pedido de Guarda aparece em primeiro lugar. Em relação às famílias envolvidas em Pedido de Guarda a indicação foi de que a maioria está em situação de pobreza. Dentre os requerentes destacou-se a avó materna. No plano qualitativo, por meio de duas famílias selecionadas, a pesquisa se desenvolveu por dois eixos que se interligam e se sobrepõem: um, próprio das relações e vivências familiares, com a categoria da afetividade,quando trabalhamos com os temas da qualificação dos sentimentos e as tensões que compõem e gestam os Pedidos de Guarda; outro, relacionado à interface da família com o sociopolítico, com as categorias de desqualificação pessoal e social, e o sofrimento ético-político. Concluímos que estas situações devam ser analisadas comgrande atenção pelos assistentes sociais devido à expressividade da demanda e sua complexidade e que se faz necessário uma maior atenção de políticas públicas na cidade que inclua as famílias com crianças em situação de guarda. Enfim, que tais pedidos não devam ser mais uma responsabilização da família pela ineficiência do sistema de proteção social e que estas famílias necessitam de um espaço coletivo para acolhimento e elaboração de sua afetividade

Thesis (DAppLing)--Macquarie University, Division of Linguistics and Psychology, Department of Linguistics, 2008. / Bibliography: p. 404-418. / Introduction -- Literature review -- Methodology -- Results -- Discussion -- Conclusion. / This study sets out to examine the pragmatic competence of Cantonese adult learners of English possessing different levels of proficiency when performing the speech act of requesting for a formal purpose in writing. Pragmatic judgment - one of the two aspects of pragmatic competence - was examined by studying the most proficient group (i.e., native Cantonese-speaking EFL teachers at university), whereas pragmatic performance - the other aspect of pragmatic competence - was examined by studying the two weaker groups (i.e., university students at two language proficient levels). Both pragmatic judgment and pragmatic performance were examined by investigating the same four dependent variables (i.e., politeness, directness, formality and amount of information). Teacher data, collected through a Pragmatic Judgment Questionnaire completed and returned by sixteen EFL teachers (eight native Cantonese speakers and eight native English speakers) and by means of individual interviews, were analyzed quantitatively for responses to twelve questions and qualitatively for responses to an additional two questions. Student data, consisting of both experimental and authentic letters and e-mails, were analyzed quantitatively. -- Main research findings suggest: *It is possible for very proficient NNSs of English, (i.e., the EFL teachers in this study), to achieve native-like pragmatic judgments in most aspects, except for their views on several pragmatic considerations (i.e., "unnaturally polite" expressions, usefulness of "negative" words, supportive moves not to be used and writing plans preferred). *As the English proficiency of L2 learners improves from Grade E to Grade A/B (as determined by the Hong Kong A-level Examinations in the subject "Use of English"), their pragmatic performance shows improvement. -- For pedagogical reasons, a qualitative analysis was conducted for Questions 1 and 2 in order to generate examples of "unnaturally polite"/ "polite" / "impolite" expressions and to provide examples of inappropriate supportive moves in relation to three writing topics. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / xvii, 576 p

From the idea of justice through the process, we seek to understand the basic conceptual resources, talks are on the requests for clarification about the features and extraordinary and special, having prequestionamento as a conducting wire that is exposed. After some brief remarks on the origin and role of each of the aforementioned features and the doctrinal and jurisprudential understanding about prequestionamento, seeks to analyze intelligence about the requests for clarification as elements able to substantiate this requirement, mainly the position espoused by the S T F and the S T J because of the lack of judgment a quo to examine the point raised by the objector. Seen these points, the next step was to verify the discipline of requests for clarification in the draft text of the new Code of Civil Procedure, approved by the Senate of the Republic and through the House of Representatives. At this point, what matters is to see what the new code brings to light, especially in regard to Article 979, which is called the positive findings prequestionamento ficto and the spirit that pervades the Explanatory Memorandum of the new CPC, taking into account its main objectives. Afterwards, we sought to investigate the relationship between Article 979 and the two most important methodological conceptions of civil procedure in contemporary Brazil: instrumentalism and formalism-evaluative. After that, the objective was to verify the ontological, deontological, axiological, principled and constitutional dimensions of prequestionamento ficto, taking into account their positivization on the new CPC, article 979, and the implications of this positivization. Finally, one comes to the conclusion that no further provenance 211 from the S T J 211 Precedent, praising the initiative to the legislature put an end to a disagreement between the STF and STJ which had lasted for years and seemingly endless, thus ensuring, knowledge of special and extraordinary appeal, therefore, justice, legal certainty and effectiveness of the process / Esta dissertação trata dos embargos de declaração e da sua utilização, no direito brasileiro, como forma de fazer aflorar o requisito de prequestionamento das matérias constitucional ou infraconstitucional inerente, segundo entendimento jurisprudencial (acórdãos e Súmulas 282 e 356 do STF e 211 do STJ) e doutrinário, à interposição de recurso extraordinário ao STF ou de recurso especial ao STJ. A partir da ideia de justiça por meio do processo, busca-se a compreensão conceitual básica dos recursos, discorre-se sobre os embargos de declaração e sobre os recursos extraordinário e especial, tendo o prequestionamento como fio condutor do que se expõe. Após algumas breves considerações sobre a origem e o papel de cada um dos recursos supracitados e sobre o entendimento doutrinário e jurisprudencial acerca do prequestionamento, busca-se analisar a inteligência acerca dos embargos de declaração como elementos aptos a consubstanciar esse requisito, mormente a posição esposada pelo STF e pelo STJ diante da omissão do juízo a quo em analisar o ponto suscitado pela parte embargante. Vistos esses pontos, o próximo passo foi verificar a disciplina dos embargos de declaração no texto do projeto do novo Código de Processo Civil, já aprovado pelo Senado da República e em tramitação na Câmara dos Deputados. Nesse ponto, o que importa é verificar o que o novo Código traz a lume, principalmente no que tange ao artigo 979, que vem positivar o chamado prequestionamento ficto, e ao espírito que permeia a Exposição de Motivos do novo CPC, levando-se em conta seus principais objetivos. A seguir, buscou-se verificar a relação entre o artigo 979 e as duas mais importantes concepções metodológicas de processo civil no Brasil contemporâneo: o instrumentalismo e o formalismo-valorativo. Depois disso, o objetivo foi verificar as dimensões ontológica, deontológica, axiológica, principiológica e constitucional do prequestionamento ficto, levandose em consideração sua positivação no novo CPC, no artigo 979, e as implicações dessa positivação. Finalmente, chega-se à conclusão de que não haverá mais procedência a Súmula 211 do STJ, louvando-se a iniciativa de o legislador pôr fim, a uma dissensão entre o STF e o STJ que já durava anos e parecia interminável, garantindo, dessa forma, o conhecimento dos recursos extraordinário e especial e, consequentemente, justiça, segurança jurídica e efetividade do processo
