The petition, in the general theory of the suit, is identified as one of the elements of the lawsuit, on the side of the parties and of the cause of action. It is these elements, according to the theory of the three identifications, that make it possible to identify the lawsuits, avoiding contradictory decisions. It is through the elements of the lawsuit that we can visualize who is filing the petition, why the petition is being filed and what the petition is asking for. The word cumulation reminds us of accumulation, a gathering of things, and encompasses the idea of plurality. Thus it is so in a civil process that there can be a plurality of parties, petitions and, finally, with a single suit, there can be a multiplicity of suits. When we speak of plurality of parties we have a subjective cumulation, which is the hypothesis of forming a joinder, or rather, the plurality of parties on one or both sides of the legal procedural relationship. With regard to the plurality of petitions, we speak of objective cumulation, where, according to the procedural economic principle, it is possible to form various petitions in a single suit, thus avoiding the judgment of multiple claims from the same plaintiff against the same defendant. Our Civil Procedural Code provides for the cumulation of petitions in article 292, by stipulating that the cumulation of various petitions, in a single suit against the same defendant, is permitted, even if there is no connection among them. The procedural institution of the cumulation of petitions has basically two objectives. First, procedural economy and then to avoid conflicting decisions. When speaking of procedural economy in the cumulation of petitions, we can summarize it by saying that said institution tries to improve the resolution of the conflicts, while spending as little time, money and work as possible. The result of the cumulation of petitions is the optimization of the suit / O presente estudo tem por escopo a análise do pedido e da cumulação de pedidos no processo civil. O pedido na teoria geral do processo é identificado como um dos elementos da ação, ao lado das partes e da causa de pedir. São esses elementos, segundo a teoria das três identidades, que possibilitam a identificação das ações, evitando decisões contraditórias. Por meio dos elementos da ação é que podemos visualizar quem pede, porque pede e o que pede. A palavra cumulação lembra acumulação, reunião de coisas, encerra idéia de pluralidade. Assim é que no processo civil pode haver uma pluralidade de partes, de pedidos, enfim dentro de um mesmo processo pode haver uma multiplicidade de ações. Ao falarmos de pluralidade de partes estamos diante da cumulação subjetiva, que é a hipótese de formação de litisconsórcio, ou seja, a pluralidade de litigantes em um ou em ambos os pólos da relação jurídica processual. Já em relação à pluralidade de pedidos, falamos em cumulação objetiva, onde, atendendo ao princípio da economia processual, é possível a formulação de vários pedidos num mesmo processo, evitando-se assim o ajuizamento de uma multiplicidade de demandas do mesmo autor contra o mesmo réu. O nosso Código de Processo Civil prevê a cumulação de pedidos no artigo 292, ao dispor que é permitida a cumulação, num único processo, contra o mesmo réu, de vários pedidos, ainda que entre eles não haja conexão. O instituto processual da cumulação de pedidos visa basicamente dois objetivos. Primeiro a economia processual e depois evitar decisões conflitantes. Ao se falar em economia processual na cumulação de pedidos, podemos resumir que o referido instituto busca uma melhor resolução dos conflitos, com menor gasto de tempo, dinheiro e trabalho. O produto da cumulação de pedidos é a otimização do processo

L’injonction anti-suit ou anti-procédure est le seul moyen susceptible d’empêcher une partie de s’engager, de mauvaise foi, dans une procédure initiée devant un tribunal étatique de son choix dans le but d’entraver l’arbitrage. Sa forme la plus efficace est celle d’une mesure provisoire. Cet outil juridictionnel peut, conformément aux lois et règlement d’arbitrage modernes, être obtenu des tribunaux arbitraux, qui jouissent habituellement d’un imperium suffisant pour le prononcer ainsi que pour sanctionner tout non-respect de l’ordre. S’il peut être octroyé « avant dire droit », l’arbitre doit néanmoins le fonder sur une base légale se trouvant dans le champ de sa compétence juridictionnelle. L’apparence d’une possible violation de l’une des obligations découlant de la clause compromissoire, comme celle de l’exécuter de bonne foi, ou d’un manquement à une cause de confidentialité insérée dans le contrat principal en sont des exemples. Cette mesure d’interdiction est, en outre, disponible au juge étatique français, l’injonction « de ne pas faire » n’étant guère inconnue en droit français. En matière d’arbitrage, elle pourrait par ailleurs être autorisée, en dépit de l’arrêt West Tankers, au regard du nouveau Règlement Bruxelles I bis et, surtout, lorsqu’elle prend la forme d’une mesure provisoire. Lorsque son émission paraît légitime, il revient principalement au juge étatique du siège d’un arbitrage de décider si une injonction anti-suit doit être prononcée en soutien de l’instance arbitrale. Cependant, pour des raisons d’efficacité, la juridiction d’un autre Etat qui serait en mesure de mieux faire respecter l’injonction anti-suit peut aussi l’ordonner. / The anti-suit injunction is the only means capable of preventing a party from being involved in proceedings commenced before a domestic court of its choice in bad faith and with the only objective of disrupting arbitration. It is most efficient in the form of an interim measure. In accordance with modern arbitration laws and rules, this jurisdictional tool may be obtained, in this form, from arbitration tribunals, which normally have sufficient imperium to order it, as well as to impose sanctions on any non-compliant party. Although it can be issued before the parties’ rights have been determined, the arbitrator must nevertheless make sure that its legal basis falls under his jurisdiction. Examples of such legal bases are the prima facie potential breaches of one of the obligations contained in the arbitration clause, such as to perform it in good faith, or of a confidentiality clause contained in the main contract. This restraining measure is also available to the French judge, since prohibitory injunctions are hardly unknown to French law. In the field of arbitration, it appears that its use may be permitted under the new Brussels 1 bis Regulation in spite of the West Tankers case and, especially, where it takes the form of an interim measure. When its issuance appears to be legitimate, it is primarily for the court of the seat of an arbitration to decide whether it should be ordered in support of the arbitration proceedings. However, for reasons of efficiency, if the court of another country happens to be in a better position to ensure compliance with the anti-suit injunction, it may also order it.

Agatha Christie set a number of her popular novels in British colonies in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean. While there is a lot of research about the portrayal of the colonised in the Middle East, there is only little to be found on those of Africa and the Caribbean. Therefore, this thesis aims to compare the portrayals of the Middle Eastern, African and Caribbean colonised by analysing Christie's The Man in the Brown Suit, Murder in Mesopotamia, Appointment with Deah, and A Caribbean Mystery.

In the first chapter, issues related to the effectiveness of material protection of the environment will be described, since necessary to the fully comprehension of the central theme of this thesis. Accordingly, considerations will be drawn on environmental protection in the Constitution of 1988, the characteristics of the environmental good, the guiding principles of the effectiveness of environmental protection, environmental damage, liability and environmental forms of compensation for damage to the right of all to a balanced environment and/or to the environment itself. Following this overview of the material rights object to this analysis, the theme of injunction as an instrument to the effectiveness of the environmental protection will be dealt. Initially, the paper will evaluate the Microsystem of Collective Lawsuits, the access to justice under a collective prism, the effectiveness of the collective environmental lawsuit and jurisdictional cognition, and further the classification, adopted on this paper, of injunction as a type of a differentiated jurisdictional protection. Based on these premises, this paper proceeds to construe the legal statutes of injunction in environmental public civil suits, analyzing the concept and legal nature of the institute, the statutes applicable, the relation between judicial protection of satisfaction and injunction natures and the prerequisites for the concession of injunction protection in collective lawsuits. We further describe the application of injunction, the limits of the court when assessing the anticipatory request, the moment of the upholding decision, the possibility of revocation and modification of the decision that upholds or denies the injunction, the hypothesis of irreversibility of the upholding decision and liabilities resulting from improper handling of the injunction instrument. This paper will also verify how the injunction is applied in the different types of jurisdictional decisions, declaratory, constitutive and condemnatory, as well as the instruments for its application, the bill of review appeal as the correct procedural instrument to the revision of the injunction and injunction against the State, and the necessary abiding to the motivation principle. Finally, once analyzed the themes we understand necessary to the full comprehension of injunctions in environmental civil public suits, we will conclude describing our findings / O presente trabalho tem por escopo analisar o tema da antecipação de tutela nas ações civis públicas que objetivam a proteção do meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado. No primeiro capítulo serão analisadas as questões afetas à efetividade da tutela material do meio ambiente que se mostram necessárias à compreensão do tema central do presente trabalho. Nesse sentido, serão traçadas considerações sobre a proteção ambiental na Constituição Federal de 1988, as características do bem ambiental, os princípios orientadores da efetividade da tutela ambiental, o dano ambiental, a responsabilidade civil ambiental e as formas de reparação do dano ao direito de todos ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado e/ou ao bem ambiental em si considerado. A seguir, serão enfrentados especificamente os temas relacionados à antecipação de tutela como instrumento para a efetividade da tutela ambiental. Inicialmente, serão avaliados o Microssistema de Processos Coletivos, o acesso à justiça em sede coletiva, a efetividade do processo coletivo ambiental e a cognição jurisdicional, além da classificação, por nós adotada, da tutela antecipada como modalidade de tutela jurisdicional diferenciada. A partir dessas premissas, passaremos a expor nosso entendimento sobre o regime jurídico da antecipação de tutela em ações civis públicas ambientais, analisando o conceito e a natureza jurídica do instituto, o regramento aplicável, a relação entre os provimentos de natureza satisfativa e cautelar e os pressupostos para a concessão de tutela antecipada em sede de processos coletivos. Ato contínuo, voltaremos nossa atenção ao estudo do requerimento da tutela antecipada, dos limites impostos ao juiz quando da apreciação do pleito antecipatório, do momento para a sua concessão, da possibilidade de revogação e de modificação da decisão que concede ou nega a antecipação de tutela, da hipótese de irreversibilidade do provimento e da responsabilidade civil decorrente do manejo indevido do referido instrumento antecipatório. Também verificaremos como se dá a aplicação da tutela antecipada nos diferentes tipos de provimento jurisdicional, declaratório, constitutivo e condenatório, bem como estudaremos os meios de sua efetivação, o agravo de instrumento como recurso apto à revisão da decisão antecipatória e a antecipação de tutela em face do Poder Público, além da necessidade de observância do princípio da motivação. Ao final, analisados os temas que entendemos pertinentes e necessários à compressão da tutela antecipada em ações civis públicas ambientais, teceremos nossas considerações conclusivas

The paper discusses the levels of stress and anxiety in four subjects with historical and focal dystonia. The methodology used was a brief literature review and the application of questionnaires and (musician habits and the K-MPAI inventory. - Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory) in four subjects who self-reported diagnosed with Focal Dystonia Carry out a survey of habits current that may have been stimuli that led these professionals to develop the said disorder. It is concluded that there is still no full understanding of this disorder and there is little information on the matter between the parties concerned higher, affected musicians, which probably contributes to the great worsening of existing cases. However, it was possible to expand through this, references in English on the subject and propose reflections on a more critical and conscious musical practice. / O presente trabalho é o produto final do curso de Mestrado em Música na subárea Performance Musical e está dividido em duas partes: PARTE A: Produção Artística, composta por dois recitais, sendo um de Defesa e outro, chamado Recital I, referente a cumprimento de pré-requisito obrigatório do curso; e PARTE B: Artigo Científico, composta por um texto resultante da pesquisa formal que apresenta um estudo de caso sobre distonia focal. O texto discute os níveis de estresse e ansiedade em quatro sujeitos com histórico e distonia focal. A metodologia utilizada foi uma breve revisão da literatura e a aplicação de e questionários (hábitos do músico e o inventário K-MPAI – Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory, em quatro sujeitos que se autodeclararam diagnosticados com Distonia Focal. Faz-se um levantamento dos hábitos atuais que possam ter sido estímulos que levaram tais profissionais a desenvolver o referido distúrbio. Conclui-se que ainda não há total compreensão deste distúrbio e há pouca informação sobre o assunto entre os maiores interessados, os músicos afetados, o que provavelmente contribui para o grande agravamento dos casos existentes. Contudo, foi possível ampliar, através deste, as referências em língua portuguesa sobre o assunto e propor reflexões sobre uma prática musical mais crítica e consciente.

I en värld av påstådda dikotomiska ytterligheter söker studenterna svar på frågan om politisk korrekthet påverkar socionomens arbete. Studien hämtar inspiration från Glenn Lourys teoretisering av begreppet ”politisk korrekthet” för att finna konkreta mekanismer bakom begreppet som socialt fenomen. Studien är kvalitativ och utgår från 8 intervjuer av yrkessamma socionomer. Med hjälp av Goffmans dramaturgi och delvis narrativ analys finner studenterna, bland annat, att socionomen behandlar sina värderingar som ett tudelat ämne: privata och professionella. Detta ger socionomen en möjlighet att distansera sina egna uppfattningar och ta på sig en ”socionomkostym” för att utföra sitt arbete utan att uppleva negativa sanktioner från klienter, kollegor eller ledning. / In a world of alleged dichotomic extremes, students seek answers to the question if political correctness affects the social work. The study draws inspiration from Glenn Loury's theorization of the concept of "political correctness" to find concrete mechanisms behind the concept as a social phenomenon. The study is qualitative and is based on 8 interviews of professional social workers. With the help of Goffman's dramaturgy and partly narrative analysis, the students find, among other things, that the social worker treats his values as a two-part topic: private and professional. This gives the social worker the possibility to distance their own perceptions and wear a ”social worker suit” to carry out their work without experiencing negative sanctions from clients, colleagues or management.

Current options for maintaining or slowing aging-related bone mineral density (BMD) loss in postmenopausal women primarily include pharmaceutical agents. More recently, physical activity and exercise have been suggested as highly effective, low cost alternatives. Weighted aerobic exercise, utilizing load carriage systems (LCS), is known to increase the gravitational forces impacting bone, creating a higher osteogenic stimulus than standard aerobic exercise. In response to the positive research on aerobic exercise with well-designed LCS, Dr. Lawrence Petrakis, MD, developed a unique 5.44 kg uniformly weighted exercise suit. This study aimed to examine the effects of the uniformly weighted exercise suit on serum biochemical markers of bone formation (Amino- Propeptide of Type 1 Collagen [P1NP]; Carboxy-Terminal Propeptide of Type 1 Collagen [P1CP] and resorption (Carboxy-Terminal Telopeptide of Type 1 Collagen [CTX]) in response to submaximal aerobic exercise in postmenopausal women with low bone density. Nine volunteer, sedentary to lightly active, healthy postmenopausal women (Age: 58.7±1.1 years, BMI: 28.2±1.0, BMD T-score: -1.2±0.5) participated in this within-subjects study, wherein each participant exercised under two counterbalanced conditions (aerobic exercise with [ES] or without [NS] the exercise suit). During each condition, participants walked on a treadmill at 65%-75% of their age-predicted maximum heart rate until they reached their goal caloric expenditure (400kcal). There was a seven-day washout period between sessions. Serum was processed using ELISA protocols to investigate the change in biomarker at 24 and 72 hours post exercise, relative to baseline. The results indicated, when compared to the NS condition, the ES condition elicited a greater positive change in P1CP at 24 hours (Phours following exercise (P0.05). There was no effect of condition on P1NP at any time point (P>0.05). In sum, submaximal aerobic exercise while wearing the uniformly weighted exercise suit elicited an antiresorptive effect on bone collagen resorption with a simultaneous increase in bone collagen formation 24 hours post exercise.

Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering / William B. Kuhn / Balasubramaniam Natarajan / Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are an important part of the developing internet of things (IOT). NASA currently uses space suits with wired sensors to collect limited biomedical data. Continuous monitoring and collecting more extensive body vital signs is important to assess astronaut health. This dissertation investigates wireless biomedical sensor systems that can be easily incorporated into future space suits to enable real time astronaut health monitoring. The focus of the work is on the radio-wave channel and associated antennas. We show that the space suit forms a unique propagation environment where the outer layers of the suit’s thermal micrometeoroid garment are largely radio opaque. This environment can be modeled as a coaxial one in which the body itself plays the role of the coax center conductor while the space suit shielding materials play the role of the outer shield. This model is then validated through simulations and experiments. Selecting the best frequency of operation is a complex mixture of requirements, including frequency allocations, attenuation in propagation, and antenna size. We investigate the propagation characteristics for various frequency bands from 315 MHz to 5.2 GHz. Signal attenuation is analyzed as a function of frequency for various communication pathways through 3D simulations and laboratory experiments. Small-scale radio channel results indicate that using lower frequency results in minimal path loss. On the other hand, measurements conducted on a full-scale model suggest that 433 MHz and 2400 MHz yield acceptable path loss values. Propagation between the left wrist and left ankle yielded the worst overall path loss, but signals were still above –100 dBm in raw measurements for a 0dBm transmission indicating that the intra-suit environment is conducive to wireless propagation. Our findings suggest that the UHF bands are best candidate bands since there is interplay between the body conductivity favoring lower frequencies, and the difficulty of coupling RF energy into and out of the channel using suitably sized antennas favoring higher frequencies. Finally, a new self-shielded folded bow-tie antenna is proposed that can be a promising choice for the general area of WBAN technologies as well as potential new space suit environments.
