This dissertation presents a contribution to measure the church order and ecclesiastical law in the Nederduitsch Hervormde Church of Africa against the Presbyterial-synodal understanding of church government. The latter forms the canonical outline of Biblical Reformative Theology as an indication of the theology currently practiced in the Nederduitsch Hervormde Church of Africa. At the outset a historical overview is given on the origin and development of the Presbyterial-synodal church government that was mainly shaped by Calvin in Geneva and later elaborated upon in Paris, and then further developed in the Netherlands. Reference is also made to the Algemeen Reglement of 1816, the 1951 church order of the Nederlandse Hervormde Church, as well as the 1951 church order of the Nederduitsch Hervormde Church of Africa. A description is given of what is understood by Biblical Reformative Theology as a revelation theology, which objectively assesses man as a sinner redeemed by grace through Jesus Christ. In this regard the church is willed by God and exists in eschatological expectation when Jesus will be everything in everyone. An exposition of Presbyterial-synodal church government calls attention to the church's existence from the beginning of time, founded by God, and it is therefore of a covenantal nature. Offices are seen as gifts from God to mankind to bring those who had been saved by Jesus Christ to faith in Him. Office bearers gather together in an assembly of offices to govern the church according to the Word of God. The church is a confessing church who confesses its faith with the church of all ages, as summarized in the ecumenical creeds and the three formularies of unity. Reference is also made here to the sacraments, ceremonies, church festivals and days of remembrance. The chapter concludes with a reference to church discipline as well as the relationship between church and state. Finally the church order and ecclesiastical law in the Nederduitsch Hervormde Church of Africa is measured against the previous definition of the Presbyterial-synodal understanding of church government. / Thesis (PhD (Theology))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Church History and Church Policy / unrestricted

This thesis deals with use of the measuring system MAAS-1 for direct determination of vertical deviations at the points specified field. The main input data are geographical and astronomical coordinates of points. The aim of this thesis is to complete the processing of data measured in the locality.

This thesis deals with bridging of a lowland valley and the creek Dolanský in the section Jánovce – Jablonov on the Slovak motorway D1. Four variants of the bridge have been developed. Subsequently prestressed single box gilder with large overhangs that are supported by precast struts was selected as the most suitable variant. The construction of the bridge will take place in a formwork suspended on overhead launching scaffolding. The static assessment according to the Europan standard has been drawn up for this variant. The load of the bridge is projected according to the ČSN EN 1991-2 - Traffic loads on bridges and the dimensoin of concrete structures according to the ČSN EN 1992-2 - Concrete bridges - Design and detailing rules. The calculation of load is done using computer software SCIA Engineer 10.1 and Midas Civil.

Bakgrund: Rytmisk insmörjning enligt Wegman/Hauschka (RI) är en beröringsterapi inom antroposofisk vård. RI utförs av sjuksköterskor inom landstingsfinansierad integrativ vård. Patienter får RI i primärvård, öppenvård och slutenvård. Det centrala i den antroposofiska synen på kropp, hälsa och lidande överrensstämmer i stor utsträckning med den vårdvetenskapliga livsvärldsteorin. Syfte: Att belysa hur patienter som fått eller får RI i öppenvård upplevt att behandlingen har påverkat dem. Metod: Kvalitativ innehållsanalys enligt Lundman och Hällgren Graneheim (2012) baserad på semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem patienter.   Resultat: Patienter som fått RI i öppenvård upplevde att deras hälsa förbättrades kroppsligt, själsligt och andligt. Kroppsligt lidande som smärta, nedsatt lungfunktion, tarmbesvär och sömnsvårigheter förbättrades. Själsligt och existentiellt lidande minskade i form av förbättrade kognitiva funktioner och ökad möjlighet att känna avslappning, avgränsning, mening, hopp, bekräftelse, trygghet samt livskraft. Slutsats: I denna studie på patienter i öppenvård liksom i tidigare studier på patienter i slutenvård upplevs RI kunna stärka hälsan kroppsligt, själsligt och existentiellt. RI är en vårdaktivitet där patienten bemöts utifrån ett helhetsperspektiv och vårdvetenskaplig teori omsätts i praktik. Större, jämförande studier med till exempel kontrollgrupp utan behandling eller med läkemedelsbehandling eller samtalsterapi liksom studier över tid är nödvändigt innan RI kan integreras i större utsträckning inom dagens hälso- och sjukvård. / Background: Rhythmical Einreibungen according to Wegman/Hauschka (RE) is a soft massage therapy for use in medicine and nursing extended through anthroposophy. RE is practiced by nurses working with integrative health care in the public financed health system, both with inpatients and outpatients (e.g. in primary care). The ontological definitions of caring science grounded in lifeworld theory of the human body, health and suffering is to a high extent corresponding with anthroposophic medicine. Aim: To explore how outpatients receiving RE have experienced that the therapy have affected them. Method: A quality content analysis, according to Lundman and Hällgren Graneheim (2012), based on semi structured interviews with five patients. Results: A decrease in physical suffering such as pain, reduced lung capacity, IBS and sleeping disorders was experienced. Psychological and spiritual improvement was experienced in cognitive functions, sense of relaxation, meaning, hope, confirmation, security and vitality. Improved health was experienced despite severe illness. Conclusion: RE is a therapy where caring science seems to be put in practice. This study on outpatients receiving RE indicates that it may improve health physically, psychologically and spiritually. The results match with earlier studies on inpatients receiving RE. Further studies, e.g. in comparison with psychotherapy or medical treatments, would be of great interest.

The law of railway transportation is a phenomenon affecting several other law branches in particular European Law, Commercial Law and Administrative Law.

The theme was observed in historical perspective, as from University Reform in 1968, and taking as fundamental reference three periods (1970, 1990 and today) as also three authors Martins (1988, 1993, 2000, 2005 and 2009), Grigoli (1990), and Freitas (2004 a, 2004b and 2012); a question was applied to the students of graduation course in Business Administration and two technology courses (Logistics and Human Resources).The 588 characteristics obtained from 164 undergraduate students and 105 students of technological courses were analyzed as a whole, allowing grouping them into three categories: knowledge, didacticism, and interpersonal relationship; thereafter, two additional analysis were performed: for each collaborator, individually, and a comparison between courses and periods. According to the results, firstly the professor s didacticism stands out and the interpersonal relationship comes secondly, as an exception only for the undergraduate students of the morning period, for whom, in individual analysis, the knowledge is the second option. The comparison of these three moments in the history of higher education in the country illustrates that the business logic increased, to expand the supply of jobs for the middle layers of population in the 1970´s and for the low income classes twenty years later. It also shows that this expansion led to the public education this business logic, which started with the university reform inherited from the 1964 civil-militar government / Nesta pesquisa pretendeu-se analisar as características mais valorizadas no professor universitário na percepção de alunos de duas instituições particulares. Olhado o tema em perspectiva histórica, a partir da Reforma Universitária de 1968, e tendo como referência fundamental três momentos (anos 1970, 1990 e hoje) e três autores Martins (1988, 1993, 2000, 2005 e 2009), Grigoli (1990) e Freitas (2004 a, 2004b e 2012), foi aplicada uma questão a estudantes de curso de graduação em Administração e de dois cursos tecnológicos (Logística e Recursos Humanos). As 588 características, obtidas de 164 alunos de graduação e 105 alunos de cursos tecnológicos, foram analisadas em seu conjunto, permitindo agrupálas em três categorias: conhecimento, didática e relacionamento interpessoal; na sequência, mais duas análises foram realizadas: para cada respondente, individualmente, e uma comparação entre cursos e períodos. Os resultados mostram sempre muito à frente a Didática do Professor e o Relacionamento interpessoal em segundo lugar, exceção apenas para os estudantes de graduação do período da manhã para quem, na análise individual, o Conhecimento é a segunda opção. A comparação dos três momentos da história do ensino superior no país permite ver que a lógica empresarial acentuou-se, ao ampliar a oferta de vagas para as camadas médias da população nos anos 1970, para as camadas populares vinte anos depois. Mostra ainda que esta expansão conseguiu levar para o ensino público esta lógica empresarial iniciada com a reforma universitária herdada do governo civil-militar de 1964

When facing danger, the prevalent emotions are fear, despair and anxiety. Therefore, the exegetical study will be conducted using psychology, a science that studies human behavior and mental processes. Based on the theoretical principles of Bible study as literature, the goal of the present study is to perform an exegetical analysis of the biblical narrative in Mark. The miracle description includes all issues related found in manuals and biblical commentaries with their multivisions. It also includes a parenetic, coeval analysis of the text based on the sciences of human behavior aimed at updating and application in modern life. Therefore, the text exegesis sheds light on the history, the validity of the pericope and update for modern life based on psychology. It applies to the study in question the historical-critical method over the structuralist and fundamentalist / Esta tese busca realizar uma leitura da narrativa em Marcos 4,35-41. Postula centrar-se no caráter dos personagens querendo entender o comportamento dos mesmos diante da situação de perigo na tempestade no mar expressa na inquirição dirigida a Jesus: ―Mestre, não te importa que pereçamos?‖ Diante de um perigo, as emoções sobressalentes no humano são medo, ansiedade e desespero. Por isso, o estudo exegético será realizado em diálogo com a psicologia, ciência que estuda o comportamento humano e os processos mentais. Tendo como base os pressupostos teóricos de estudo da Bíblia, enquanto literatura, este trabalho realiza análise exegética da narrativa bíblica em Marcos. Reúne em torno da narrativa de milagre todas as questões relativas ao tema que se encontram em manuais e comentários bíblicos com suas multivisões. Realiza ação parenética coeva do texto em diálogo com as ciências do comportamento humano visando atualização e aplicação na vida hodierna. Deste modo, a exegese do texto em questão, lança luz sobre a historicidade, a validade da perícope e atualização para a vida hodierna com corte psicológico. Aplicou-se ao estudo em questão o método histórico-crítico em detrimento ao estruturalista e ao fundamentalista

The classical elements for establishing the employment relationship and for qualifying the worker as an employee, which are (i) being a natural person, (ii) working in personal character (intuitu personae), (iii) habitually, (iv) under subordination and (v) for payment, are hereby studied in light of the Brazilian Federal Constitution, as a way to promote maximal protection of the working person's dignity. For such, the articles 2nd and 3rd of the Consolidated Labor Laws are examined by means of two mechanisms: the interpretation under the Constitution, and under the theory of the "dialogue des sources". The former focuses on securing the supremacy of the constitutional principles; the latter considers the legal norms to be of complementary, rather than of excluding nature, allowing for a combined analysis in light of the fundamental rights protected by the Constitution. Drawing on this new interpretation of the employment relationship s criteria, the core concept in Labor Law Studies ceases to be the one of subordination, giving way to the actual human being. The natural personhood gains in relevance and inspires the analysis of the remaining elements defining the employment contract. The personal character (intuitu personae) is then viewed in conjunction with the personhood rights and their protection; the non-eventuality, with the values that maintain the employment relationship and prevent abusive dismissals; the subordination, with the worker s right to resist against the employer s excesses; and the remuneration, in conjunction with the principle of good faith, social function of the contract and the economical balance of the contractors, thus avoiding adjustments that may damage the equality and equity of the relationship / O objeto da presente tese é a análise conceitual e aplicada dos requisitos caracterizadores da relação de emprego sob a ótica dos direitos fundamentais. Os elementos clássicos de configuração do vínculo empregatício e que também qualificam o trabalhador como empregado, quais sejam, ser pessoa física, pessoalidade, habitualidade, subordinação e onerosidade, são estudados à luz da Constituição Federal, como forma de maximizar a proteção da dignidade da pessoa humana que trabalha. Para tanto, os artigos 2º e 3º da CLT são examinados por meio de dois mecanismos: a interpretação conforme a Constituição e a teoria do diálogo das fontes. Para a primeira, importa a leitura do texto legal da maneira que mais favoreça a supremacia dos princípios constitucionais; para a segunda, as normas jurídicas não se excluem, complementam-se, permitindo sua análise conjunta à luz dos direitos fundamentais protegidos pela Constituição. A partir dessa nova leitura dos pressupostos da relação de emprego muda-se o núcleo de estudo do direito do trabalho, que deixa de ser a subordinação e passa a ser a pessoa humana. O ser pessoa física ganha maior relevância e inspira o estudo dos demais elementos que configuram o contrato de trabalho. Pessoalidade passa a ser lida em conjunto com os direitos da personalidade e a sua proteção; habitualidade, com os valores que preservam a manutenção do vínculo empregatício e obstam despedidas abusivas; subordinação, com o direito de resistência que possui o trabalhador frente a abusos cometidos pelo patrão e que possam atingir a sua dignidade; onerosidade, com a boa-fé, a função social do contrato e o equilíbrio econômico dos contratantes, evitando-se ajustes que atentem contra a igualdade e a equidade

A presente dissertação dedica-se ao estudo da relação entre a teoria e a prática do Supremo Tribunal Federal no que diz respeito aos limites da interpretação conforme a Constituição. A partir do confronto entre as principais lições doutrinárias sobre o tema e os acórdãos proferidos pela Corte nos processos do controle abstrato de constitucionalidade, verifica-se que os limites reconhecidos pela doutrina e pelo Tribunal não são obedecidos em muitos dos precedentes, casos nos quais tem-se a utilização da interpretação conforme como mecanismo de correção e integração judicial do direito. Nesse cenário, busca-se averiguar a legitimidade de tal conduta pelo aplicador do direito. Chega-se, assim, a conclusão de que, nos casos em que o Supremo Tribunal Federal se vê diante de hipóteses em que há lacuna ou antinomia que não podem ser resolvidas pela interpretação conforme em sua função de decisão, o princípio da inafastabilidade da jurisdição impõe a aplicação da integração conforme a Constituição, desde que ela não esteja vedada tácita ou expressamente pelo ordenamento e que a decisão que a determine esteja fundamentada. / This study tries to understand the relationship between theory and practice regarding the limits of the interpretation according to the Constitution. Confronting the most common jurisprudence that relates to the topic and the decisions that the Supreme Court emitted in the cases of abstract judicial review, it becomes clear that the before mentioned limits of the interpretation according to the Constitution aren\'t respected by the decisions of the Court and that the technique is used as a mechanism of correction and integrity of the law. In this scenario, this study tries to reveal the legitimacy of the decisions the Supreme Court took on this basis. The conclusion one has arrived at states that in the cases in which the Supreme Court confronts itself with antinomy or law blanks that can\'t be resolved by regular interpretation, the non liquet principle forces the Court to correct or to integrate the law, as long as: 1) it isn\'t expressly or implicitly forbidden by the constitutional text; and 2) the decision is thoroughly motivated.

The implementation of the stop-and-frisk duty of the police is extremely closely related to the intervention of people¡¦s freedom of action, privacy and moral integrity right. In the past, the basis of law for the fulfillment of the stop-and-frisk duty by the police authorities was only the ¡§Regulations of the Police Duties.¡¨ Nevertheless, the Regulations contained no content of the objective for initiating the stop-and-frisk duty, the stop-and-frisk procedures and the means of relief. The Regulations only mention the term of stop and frisk, but lack the soul and body of stop and frisk. Based on the term of stop and frisk, the police always legitimized the enforcement of many banning acts, such as searching the house of a citizen in the midnight in the name of fulfilling the stop-and-frisk duty of the household. Similar behaviors were frequently found, thus creating many complaints from the citizens. After the chancellor of Judicial Yuan made an explanation of Shih No. 535, a lot of feedbacks from the police were undoubtedly created. To Taiwan, this is a great leap in marching towards a country under the rule of law. It has made the police authorities understand the importance of administrative procedures, and urged the birth of ¡§Act of Exercise of the Police Powers.¡¨ In the new Act, the behavior of stop and frisk is replaced by the term ¡§checking of identity.¡¨ A local scholar, Wu Keng once mentioned that ¡§stop and frisk¡¨ had been abolished and not been used. However, is it the fact? This paper is going to investigate the issue. Besides, does the constitution of the Act mean that the stop-and-frisk legal system is sound enough? This is another issue worthy of studying. Due to the vastness and un-limitedness of Administration Act, there is no country in the world having a sound and complete Administration Act. Nevertheless, viewing at the theories and principles of Administration Act, it can be generally divided into five main structures: basic principles, administrative organization, limit of administrative rights, administrative relief and administrative surveillance. If an administrative legal system is fearless to receive the examination based on each item of the five main structures of Administrative Law, it can be called a sound and complete administrative legal system. Another local scholar, Li Chen-Shan thinks that the separation of criminal law from Administration Act has led to the division of the police¡¦s mission of maintaining public security into two parts: ¡§prevention of harm¡¨ and ¡§criminal arrest,¡¨ which prevents the administrative harm and the criminal harm respectively. While they cross over the administrative area and the criminal area, stop-and-frisk duty belongs to an administrative behavior. Since it just belongs to the ¡§prevention of harm,¡¨ it should be regulated by the theories and principles of Administration Act. Therefore, this paper takes the stop-and-frisk legal system of police officers as the main body of the study. From the viewpoint of the science of law, this paper employs the abovementioned basic theories of Administration Act, i.e. the ¡§five major structures¡¨ of administrative principles, administrative organization, limit of administrative rights, administrative relief and administrative surveillance, as the research approaches of the study to examine the stop-and-frisk system of the police officers of Taiwan. Under this mode of thinking, the study is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 is Introduction, which firstly raises queries over the practice of fulfilling stop-and-frisk duty by the police authorities, and then introduces the motives, objectives, research approaches, research area and research structure of the paper. Chapter 2 is Basic Principles of Stop-and-Frisk Legal System, which firstly reviews the basic concepts of the two terms, the police and stop and frisk, and then investigates the background for the constitution of stop-and-frisk legal system. In this chapter, substantial information from the social aspect of the practical phenomena, the economic aspect of the optimal adjustment, the political aspect of negotiation and compromising, and the legal aspect of acts and regulations, is presented, enabling us to have a deeper understanding of the practical phenomena of stop-and-frisk legal system. After that, the chapter analyzes and compares the international aspects of the stop-and-frisk legal system of three countries, Germany, Japan and the United States, so as to take them as the references for the improvement of local legal system. Then, the chapter investigates the concepts of the rule of law of stop-and-frisk legal system, as well as the nature of stop and frisk from the angles of the three administrative principles according to laws and the seven principles of procedural justice. Finally, the chapter explores the relationship between stop-and-frisk legal system and the participation of the parties concerned. It is hoped that through the participation methods of the parties concerned, the stop-and-frisk legal system can become more sound and complete. Chapter 3 introduces the administrative organization of stop-and-frisk legal system by starting from the organizational structure of the existing police organization, and then investigates the organizational structure of the police authorities, staff on duty (including the assistants on duty), the budget and other problems. It is expected that a complete organizational structure can be formed to achieve a smooth operation of the stop-and-frisk practices of police officers. Chapter 4 discusses about the design and use of the limit of the rights of stop-and-frisk legal system. The chapter investigates each item stipulated in Administrative Procedure Act,¡¨ including the administrative plan, administrative legislation, legislative punishment, administrative investigation, administrative agreement, administrative guidance and the fulfillment of administrative obligations, hoping to make a comprehensive investigation of the limit of the stop-and-frisk rights. Chapter 5 introduces the relief and problem-solving measures of stop-and-frisk legal system. There is an ancient saying about law, ¡§Where there is right, there is relief.¡¨ This chapter firstly mentions the right of dissent, and then discusses about the issues of pleading, administrative lawsuit, national compensation, compensation of loss and referendum, intending to cover every detail of the rights of citizens. Chapter 6 talks about the administrative surveillance of stop-and-frisk legal system, and investigates the internal surveillance mechanism of the police authorities themselves and the external fair surveillance mechanism of the third parties. It is hoped that the surveillance mechanisms can meet the national and public requirements, no matter from the legal facet or the practical facet. Chapter 7 is the Conclusions and Suggestions, which synthesize the researcher¡¦s discussion of the five main structures of Administration Act. Over some specific items of the existing stop-and-frisk legal system of the police officers that need to be revised or deleted, the chapter proposes concrete suggestions, which can be a reference for the police authorities in exercising their powers, and working on the goals of building the administrative standards of Taiwan according to law, and improving the legal image of Taiwan under the rule of law.
