Dans ma thèse j’étude la normativité monastique et les aspects institutionnels de l’Ordre de Vallombrosa entre le XIème et le XVème siècle. L’étude a apporté de nouveaux résultats et il est divisé en trois parties :Dans la première j’introduis le lecteur aux sources et à l’historiographie sur le sujet.Dans la deuxième je déroule le thème de la normativité. Pour les origines j’approfondis le lien entre les sources hagiographiques, le mouvement réformateur de Florence, les premiers moines et l’institutionnalisation en congregatio de Vallombrosa. Je discute d’une façon systématique et textuelle le problème de la datation des coutumiers, des rédactions des constitutions et la diffusion et l’usage des constitutions et des statuts.Dans la troisième j’étude les institutions de l’Ordre singulièrement avec l’aide des sources normatives et du contexte historique, en vérifiant leurs changements ou cours des siècles. Les chapitres sont dédiés aux principales institutions de l’Ordre, c’est-à-dire l’abbé général, le chapitre général et les visiteurs.Enfin la thèse est dotée d’importantes annexes où on peut trouver : l’édition critique des constitutions à partir du 1323 jusqu’au 1455, des tables de concordances des normes du XIème siècle jusqu’à l’an 1310, et celles de statuts de Vallombrosa (1323-1455). / In my thesis, I study the monastic normativity and the institutional aspects of the Vallombrosa Order between the 11th and the 15th centuries. The study has brought new results and it is divided into three parts:In the first part I introduce the reader to sources and to historiography on the subject.In the second I develop the theme of normativity. For the origins, I explain the connections with the hagiographic sources, the reforming movement in Florence, the first monks and the institutionalization in congregatio of Vallombrosa. I discuss in a systematic and textual way the dating’s problem of the customary, the writing of the constitutions and the diffusion and the use of the constitutions and statutes.In the third I study the institutions of the Order with the help of normative sources and the historical context, by checking their changes through the centuries. The chapters are devoted to the main institutions of the Order, that is the Abbot General, the General Chapter and the Visitors.Finally, the thesis is completed with important appendices where one can find: the critical edition of the constitutions from 1323 to 1455, the tables of the concordances of the norms from the 11th century until 1310, and those of Statutes of Vallombrosa (1323-1455).

The rights and responsibilities of parents are viewed very seriously in South Africa in that they are emphasised by the Act of Parliament. The South African Schools Act, No 84 of 1996, places the governance of every school in the hands of parents. The parents are in this way required to perform their roles within the orbit of this Act of parliament. This study is therefore directed at analysing the Schools Act and those sections of the law are discussed which have a direct bearing on the responsibilities and the rights of parents when involved with the school. A comparison is drawn between the national determinants of yesteryears regulating parental involvement as well as the new paradigm statutes regulating parental involvement in the school system. The findings of the literature study led to the empirical study. A questionnaire on this study comprising 46 items was developed. The subjects of this study were made up of 150 parents in the Lichtenburg District of the Department of Education in the North-West Province. The results of 137 respondents were statistically analysed. The study revealed that parents lack knowledge on the statutes relating to their involvement in the schools. Also, there are no measures taken by the schools to capacitate the parents to understand and apply the laws correctly. Finally, parents are not performing their roles adequately as is expected by the law. The findings of this study led to the recommendations on how parents could be helped to do what the law requires. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

Šeimos teisės esmę ir jos įgyvendinimo svarbiausius būdus nustato ir išreiškia šeimos teisės principai. Kadangi gyvenime vyksta tokie spartūs socialiniai pokyčiai, liečiantys ir šeimos santykius, kyla klausimas, ar šeimos teisės principai bėgant laikui taip pat negali pamažu transformuotis. Todėl yra svarbu ir aktualu išnagrinėti šeimos santykių teisinio reglamentavimo principus ir atskleisti, ar jie atitinka visuomenės lūkesčius. Lietuvos Respublikoje šeimos santykių teisinis reglamentavimas grindžiamas monogamijos, santuokos savanoriškumo, sutuoktinių lygiateisiškumo, prioritetinės vaikų teisių ir interesų apsaugos ir gynimo, vaikų auklėjimo šeimoje, motinystės visokeriopos apsaugos principais bei kitais civilinių santykių teisinio reglamentavimo principais. Darbe yra kompleksiškai analizuojama ir atskleidžiama šeimos teisės principų samprata, apibrėžiamas jų turinys. Nagrinėjama Lietuvos nacionalinių teismų formuojama praktika šia tema, nustatomos šių principų įgyvendinimo problemos, principų santykis su kitais šeimos teisės institutais (santuoka, ištuoka, vaikų ir tėvų tarpusavio teisės ir pareigos ir kt.). Darbe taip pat yra pateikiama lyginamoji analizė su kai kuriomis užsienio valstybėmis (Rusija, Lenkija) šeimos teisės principų atžvilgiu. Išanalizavus darbo temą bei išnagrinėjus teismų praktiką, prieita prie išvados, jog tarp šeimos teisės principų jokios hierarchijos nėra. Jie visi egzistuoja lygiagrečiai ir yra taikomi visi ar keli iš jų kartu sprendžiant...

Due to the rapid social changes, which have the impact on the family relationship, the question arises: do the principles of family law also change as the time passes? That is why examination of the principles of legal regulation in family law and establishing whether they correspond to the expectations of the society is crucial and of great relevance. The legal regulation of family relationship in Lithuania is based on the principles of monogamy, the equality of spouses, the voluntariness of marriage, the priority of the protection of child rights and interests, the upbringing of the child in the family, the protection of motherhood and on other principles of regulation of civil relationship. In this paper the concept of family law principles is explored and the content of these principles is defined. The special attention is devoted to the practice, formed by the courts in Lithuania. Also the problems of implementation of the principles are established, the relations of the principles with the relevant institutes of family law (marriage, divorce, mutual rights and obligations of parents and children, etc.) are analyzed. The paper also provides the comparative analysis of the principles with those applied in Russian Federation and Poland. After the topic has been explored and the court practice has been examined, the following conclusions are made: there is... [to full text]

The objectives of this thesis were to observe how the Canadian youth justice system has dealt with the regulation of the transfer of young offenders to the adult court and how the Canadian statutes have regulated the imposition of adult offences for young offenders. For this, I drew a distinction between two levels of observation: first, I observed the process of "creation of statutes" by the political system. Second, I observed the process of "understanding and interpretation of statutes" by the judicial system. The notion of "political system" includes the legislation enacted by Parliament, parliamentary debates, and reports published by the Government of Canada. The notion of "judicial system" includes the decisions of the Montreal Youth Court. For the first level of observation ("creation of statutes"), I observed and analyzed the work of the political system for the period 1842 to 2012. Starting in 1857, many statutes regulated different aspects of the criminal law system as it applied to young people. The first statute to deal with youth offenders comprehensively and different from adult offenders was the Juvenile Delinquents Act (1908); this statute was replaced by the Young Offenders Act (1982). The current statute is the Youth Criminal Justice Act (2002). With regard to the Juvenile Delinquents Act (1908) and the Young Offenders Act (1982), I observed how the political system regulated the mechanism of transferring a young person to the adult court. This mechanism allowed the youth court to decide a question of jurisdiction: whether the young person would be processed and sentenced within the youth justice system, or whether the young person would be sent to the adult court for him to be dealt with and sentenced therein. With regard to the Youth Criminal Justice Act (2002), I observed how the political system has regulated the imposition of adult sentences by the youth court. This statute replaced the mechanism of transfer under the two previous statutes by the imposition of adult sentences within the youth justice system. For the second level of observation ("the understanding and interpretation of statutes"), I observed how the Montreal Youth Court had understood and interpreted the statutory provision that allowed the youth court to transfer a young person to the adult court for the young person to be dealt with and sentenced therein. My period of observation is from 1911 to 1995. I argue that both the political and the judicial systems have been strongly influenced by the theories of deterrence, denunciation, retribution, and rehabilitation. The influence that each theory has exercised on each system varies. The political system, originally focused on the rehabilitation of young people, has been slowly “contaminated” by the most punitive theories, such as deterrence and denunciation. This shift started in the 70’s and slowly increased over the years. Conversely, while the judicial system does not seem to have been originally influenced by the theories of rehabilitation, its focus has slowly shifted towards this objective as the primary goal of their intervention towards young offenders since the 70’s. However, the “successful rehabilitation” of a young person has become a goal in itself, where “unsuccessful offenders” have been transferred to the adult court and dealt with the adult punitive justice system.

Die Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit dem Partikularrecht mittelalterlicher Ordensgemeinschaften, wobei im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung ein struktureller Vergleich der Statuten und Konstitutionen ausgewählter religiöser Orden und Kommunitäten des Hoch- und Spätmittelalters steht. Vom ius commune blieb das Recht der Orden recht unberührt, wobei einer der Gründe - neben der unüberschaubaren Vielfalt - die den Orden vom Papst zugebilligte weitgehende Rechtsautonomie gewesen sein dürfte. Die Orden nutzten diesen Freiraum in extensiver Weise und schufen sich eigene partikulare Rechtstexte. Zu den basalen Normen der hochmittelalterlichen Orden und Gemeinschaften gehören die Regel, sodann consuetudines, Statuten und weitere normative Texte. Es hat jedoch den Anschein, dass für die Zeitgenossen oft keine klaren Unterscheidungsmerkmale zwischen den verschiedenen Bezeichnungen existierten. Der kleinste gemeinsame Nenner der bisherigen Forschung für eine Definition von Statutentexten ist wohl der, dass es sich um schriftliche, im Konsens gesatzte, in die Zukunft wirkende Normen handelt. Die Studie soll diese Auslegung überprüfen und genauer bestimmen. Dabei wird ein möglichst breiter Vergleich der Statutentexte verschiedener mittelalterlicher Orden und Religiosengemeinschaften angestrebt. Hierbei muss freilich auch auf die Eigenheiten und unterschiedlichen Verfassungsstrukturen der Verbände eingegangen werden, um zum einen diejenigen Institutionen zu beschreiben, welche legislative Kompetenzen besaßen und zum anderen zu erörtern, wie stark diese Befugnisse jeweils ausgeprägt waren. Ein weiterer Schritt ist schließlich die vergleichende Untersuchung der Texte selbst sein. Hierbei steht weniger der inhaltliche, sondern vielmehr der strukturelle Vergleich im Vordergrund, um Aussagen zum Typus ‚Statut‘ treffen zu können. Das heißt, dass Aufbau und Anlagemethode der Texte sowie ihr eigentümlicher Duktus beziehungsweise Formulierungsmuster beleuchtet werden. Im Ergebnis zeigen sich vergleichend unterschiedliche Entwicklungen und Strukturmuster auf.

This article considers the nature of interpretation as important question in constitutional interpretation from a theonomic epistemological perspective. Theonomic epistemology is summarily described. The modem language philosophy's view of the nature of interpretation is then investigated, after which a theonomic definition of interpretation and hermeneutics is suggested. Different approaches to interpretation commonly found in legal practice are evaluated on the basis of the suggested definition. The theonomic approach is then applied to another issue in constitutional interpretation, the nature of the judicial function, and broad guidelines are given for the practical application of theonomic epistemological considerations. / Hierdie artikel ondersoek die wese van interpretasie as belangrike vraagstuk by grondwetuitleg vanuit die perspektief van die teonome epistemologie. Die teonome epistemologie word oorsigtelik beskryf. Die modeme taalfilosofie se beskouing van interpretasie word dan behandel, waama 'n teonome definisie van interpretasie en hermeneutiek voorgestel word. Die verskillende uitlegbenaderings wat algemeen in die praktyk voorkom, word aan die hand van die voorgestelde definisie geevalueer. Vervolgens word die teonome benadering op 'n ander vraagstuk van grondwetuitleg - die aard van die regterlike funksie - toegepas, en word bree riglyne vir toepassing van teonome epistemologiese oorwegings in die praktyk van regspraak gegee. / Department of Constitutional International and Indigenous Law / LL.M.

Foi realizado um estudo teórico fundamentado no pensamento materialista dialético, visando identificar as principais questões que sustentam a biologia, considerando a sua história de construção e o olhar da filosofia da ciência sobre ela. Fez-se um levantamento documental principalmente nas fontes secundárias sobre a história e filosofia da biologia, também em algumas fontes primárias. Tendo realizada esta etapa, fez-se uma análise do conteúdo disciplinar dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Médio (PCNEM), PCNEM+ e as Orientações Curriculares. O estudo foi direcionado por três questões: Quais são os elementos que caracterizam a biologia como tal ao longo da sua construção? Como estes elementos se caracterizam e se articulam? Os documentos curriculares oficiais consideram estes elementos na sua formulação? Como resultado, é trazida a história das ideias sobre os seres vivos na Antiguidade à Idade Média, sendo possível identificar algumas das questões que a biologia veio a se debruçar nos séculos seguintes. Em seguida, enfatiza-se a mudança ocorrida na visão de mundo na Idade Moderna que se opôs a Escolástica e suas implicações na organizaçãoda ciência que culminou na Revolução Científica. O século XIX marca o surgimento da biologia enquanto ciência. No início do século alguns ramos já se configuravam, porém ainda vinculados com a filosofia da natureza. Constitui-se a partir daí um olhar específico sobre a natureza considerando-se três teorias principais: teoria celular, teoria do equilíbrio interno e a teoria da seleção natural e origens das espécies. Duas perspectivas centrais se estruturaram, uma Mecanicista e outra Histórica, as quais sustentaram... / The thesis was developed in order to identify the elements necessary for an understanding of biological vision about the nature, historical and philosophical perspective. We conducted a theoretical study based on dialectical materialist thought, to identify the key issues underpinning biology, considering its history of construction and look at the philosophy of science about it. There was a documentary survey mainly on secondary sources on the history and philosophy of biology, also in some primary sources. Having performed this step, there was a review of disciplinary content of National Curriculum of Secondary Education (PCNEM) PCNEM + and Curriculum guidelines. The study walked directed by three questions: What are the elements that characterize the biology as such throughout its construction? How these elements are characterized and articulate? Documents of curriculum consider these elements in its formulation? As a result, it brought the history of ideas on living in antiquity to the Middle Ages, it is possibile to identify some of the questions that biology came to look over the following centuries. Then, we seek to emphasize the change in worldview in the modern era who opposed scholasticism and its implications to the science that culminated in the Scientific Revolution. The nineteenth century marks the emergence of biology as a science. At the beginning of the century there were already some branches, but still tied to the philosophy of nature. It consists from there a specific look on nature by considering three main theories: cell theory, theory of internal equilibrium and the theory of natural selection and origin of species. Two central perspectives are structured, a Mechanistic and another Historic, which ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

The objectives of this thesis were to observe how the Canadian youth justice system has dealt with the regulation of the transfer of young offenders to the adult court and how the Canadian statutes have regulated the imposition of adult offences for young offenders.

The goal of my diploma thesis is to describe the problems of financing housing in flats owned by housing cooperatives, impact of economic on the price of flats or influence of the cooperative ownership on the selling price of the flat. In this work there are examined other factors which might motivate or demotivate new team members to join the cooperative in order to ensure their own housing.
