For Hegel the right is the objective realization of freedom, but not every law or positive institution is indeed a law of freedom, criteria is necessary to determine when a law or positive institution is justifiable or not, that is, satisfies the demands of reason for freedom. This dissertation aims to determine the criteria for the evaluation and correction of positive law in Hegel and the relation between the concept of right and the actuality of right. The present dissertation will have as main bibliographical reference the work of G.W.F. Hegel, Elements of the Philosophy of Right, as well as complementary works by the author himself (Phenomenology of Mind, Philosophy of History, etc.) and other authors and commentators who contribute to our objective. We will conclude that Hegel conciliates in his Philosophy right the historicity and normativity of freedom, that is, for Hegel, freedom would presuppose norms and would be historically effective, and that the criteria for evaluating and correcting positive law would be historical and normative. / Na tradição filosófica, a filosofia do direito é a disciplina que tematiza o direito enquanto tal, não este ou aquele direito específico de um ou outro Estado, não se interessa detalhadamente pela realidade do direito, mas pelo conceito do direito. Para Hegel o direito é a realização objetiva da liberdade, porém nem toda lei ou instituição positiva é de fato uma lei da liberdade, são necessários critérios para determinar quando uma lei ou instituição positiva é ou não justificável, isto é, satisfaz as exigências da razão pela liberdade. Essa dissertação tem como objetivo determinar quais os critérios de avaliação e correção do direito positivo em Hegel e a relação entre o conceito do direito e a efetividade do direito. A presente dissertação terá como principal referência bibliográfica a obra de G.W.F. Hegel, Linhas Fundamentais da Filosofia do Direito, assim como obras complementares do próprio autor (Fenomenologia do Espírito, Filosofia da História etc) e de demais autores e comentadores que contribuam com o nosso objetivo. Concluiremos que Hegel concilia em sua Filosofia do Direito a historicidade e normatividade da liberdade, isto é, para Hegel a liberdade pressuporia normas e seria historicamente efetivada e que os critérios para avaliar e corrigir o direito positivo seriam históricos e normativos.

The prevalent use of the Internet not only brings with it numerous advantages, but also some drawbacks. The biggest of these problems is the threat to the individual’s personal privacy. This privacy issue is playing a growing role with respect to technological advancements. While new service-based technologies are considerably increasing the scope of information flow, the cost is a loss of control over personal information and therefore privacy. Existing privacy protection measures might fail to provide effective privacy protection in these new environments. This dissertation focuses on the use of new technologies to improve the levels of personal privacy. In this regard the WSP3 (Web Service Model for Personal Privacy Protection) model is formulated. This model proposes a privacy protection scheme using Web Services. Having received tremendous industry backing, Web Services is a very topical technology, promising much in the evolution of the Internet. In our society privacy is highly valued and a very important issue. Protecting personal privacy in environments using new technologies is crucial for their future success. These facts, combined with the detail that the WSP3 model focusses on Web Service environments, lead to the following realizations for the model: The WSP3 model provides users with control over their personal information and allows them to express their desired level of privacy. Parties requiring access to a user’s information are explicitly defined by the user, as well as the information available to them. The WSP3 model utilizes a Web Services architecture to provide privacy protection. In addition, it integrates security techniques, such as cryptography, into the architecture as required. The WSP3 model integrates with current standards to maintain their benefits. This allows the implementation of the model in any environment supporting these base technologies. In addition, the research involves the development of a prototype according to the model. This prototype serves to present a proof-of-concept by illustrating the WSP3 model and all the technologies involved. The WSP3 model gives users control over their privacy and allows everyone to decide their own level of protection. By incorporating Web Services, the model also shows how new technologies can be used to offer solutions to existing problem areas.

Magister Legum - LLM / The development of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has radically changed the landscape of the conventional family. It has permitted a platform for the creation of families and family structures with tremendous diversity in their demographic characteristics. It has also changed the way in which individuals become parents. The advances in medical and scientific fertility treatments have meant that for many the dream of having a child of their own has now become a real possibility. Public perception and attitudes towards infertility treatments and more latterly surrogacy has changed tremendously and becoming increasingly acceptable. While there are those who have celebrated the advancement in reproductive technologies and potential freedoms that this may contain, ART has opened the proverbial Pandora's Box amongst scholars and the public policy makers, principally in the area of rights.

A mi-chemin entre le droit et la pratique, le droit de grève demeure principalement le produit d’une jurisprudence ouverte aux influences extérieures. Loin d’être enfermé dans une morale théorique et immobile, le droit de grève rayonne donc par son dynamisme et sa facilité à répondre aux défis conjoncturels et structurels auxquels doit faire face l’entreprise. Dans ces conditions, comment est juridiquement façonné l’exercice du droit de grève ? Quelles sont les interactions réciproques et permanentes entre la jurisprudence et la pratique, qui confèrent à ce droit toute son effectivité ? Quelles sont les influences, juridiques et a-juridiques, qui viennent guider son exercice au quotidien ? / Half way between the law and common practice , the right to strike is the result of a case law open to external influences. Far from being stuck in a theoritical and fixed ideology, the right to strike lies on dynamic grounds and on its ability to challenge the temporary and structural contexts that a company must cope with. In these conditions, how can the right to strike be legally shaped? What are the mutual permanent interactions between a case law and common practice which confers to this right its total effectiveness ? What are the legal and contextual influences that guides its daily practice ?

Since 1979 the UK has experienced the most decisive break in the providing style and underlying principles of welfare provision since 1944 to 1948, or perhaps ever. This thesis provides an historical overview of the succession of Acts in regards to state education, health and housing. It looks at the effects of, and reasons for, the reforms in these areas, showing how these have changed each sectors' operational style and ethos. A close insight into the reforms is provided by surveys of head teachers of Grant-Maintained schools, chief executives of NHS trusts, directors of local government housing departments and chief executives of housing associations and of Local Government. The questionnaires investigated issues such as, finances, changes in their functions, effects upon staff and external relations and highlights benefits and disadvantages. In general these sectors have experienced the introduction of a quasi-market, via the separation of the provider, purchaser and enabler roles. The aim has been to increase competition and consumer power in the state sector. In reality, competition is expanding, but these welfare markets have been subjected to increased scrutiny and control from Central Government. The market ethos is spreading across the nation, and although many people who are living through it are unaware of the rapid changes, this period may be looked back upon in history as being the most radical and far-reaching alteration of British economic, social and political structures.

Master thesis "The comparison of political and cultural activities of the extreme right in the Czech Republic and Germany during 90's in the 20th century" is firstly defining the terms related to study of the extreme right. Secondly, the thesis is analyzing success of German and Czech extreme right wing parties in the elections, then establishing and forms of membership in the extreme right organizations, making demonstrations, protest events and violent acts with extreme right context which are organized by supporters of the extreme right thoughts. Thirdly, the thesis is focusing on cultural activities, such as live music events with extreme right music artists, with outlining the lyrics of these Czech and German artists. Finally, comparative analysis is describing the form and frequency of all political and cultural activities. Conclusion of the thesis is that forms of the extreme right in the Czech Republic and Germany in the 90's were very similar, however in Germany these activities were more regular and more brutal. KEYWORDS Extreme right wing, ultra - right, neo - Nazism, extreme right wing parties, extreme right organizations, skinheads.

Abstract Right heart failure may be caused by several etiologic factors such as pulmonary embolism, post coronary bypass, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and right heart infarction. Traditionally, treatment has consisted of fluid loading (volume expansion) and the use of inotropic agents. In the present series of studies, an experimental model of acute right heart failure was developed using right heart infarct. Treatment with drugs chosen to specifically improve right heart performance was then evaluated. The drugs used in this series were aminophlline, adenosine, nitric oxide (NO) and losartan. Aminophylline transiently improved cardiac index and pulmonary vascular resistance, but simultaneously caused an increase in heart rate and a decrease in stroke volume. Although it may reduce right heart afterload, aminophylline did not improve overall cardiac function in this experimental model of right heart infarction. Adenosine affected an increase in cardiac index during the adenosine infusion and in stroke index, while pulmonary vascular resistance and mean pulmonary pressure were decreased. There was a marked decrease in systemic vascular resistance as a result of the drug. Heart rate remained unchanged by the infusion. Discontinuation of the drug resulted in a rapid reversal of the hemodynamic changes. The continuous infusion of adenosine therefore appears to cause an effective arterial vasodilation, with a consequent unloading of right heart afterload. NO treatment significantly reduced right heart afterload. A significant deterioration was observed in cardiac output as well as in left and right ventricle stroke work indices. The use of NO in this model of right heart infarct affected a decrease in both right heart afterload and left heart preload, with an overall deterioration in global hemodynamics. Losartan was shown to decrease central venous pressure and wedge pressure, while cardiac output, left ventricle stroke work and stroke volume all showed improvement. Compared to the control animals, pulmonary vascular resistance, systemic vascular resistance and systemic pressures were unaffected by the drug, as was heart rate. An inhibition of angiotensin II action may therefore be of benefit in the treatment of right heart failure symptoms during the first hours after right heart infarct.
