A presente dissertação tem por objetivo o estudo da aplicação do princípio da congruência no Processo Individual do Trabalho. Tal princípio caracteriza-se pelo caráter restritivo da atuação judicial, vinculando a prolação de sentença aos limites da lide. A problemática centra-se no entendimento do conceito de lide, ora entendido simplesmente como pedido, ora como a matéria fática e jurídica levada aos autos, permitindo-se ao magistrado conhecer de pedidos não formulados expressamente, desde que os fatos a eles pertinentes tenham sido discutidos nos autos. A partir da Teoria Instrumentalista do Processo, que admite este modo de resolução de conflitos como um meio para a efetividade do Direito Material, buscou-se identificar a possibilidade de flexibilização do princípio da congruência no Processo Individual do Trabalho, tendo em vista que o estudo deste princípio revelou que a doutrina e a jurisprudência civil e trabalhista já permitem sua relativização ou mitigação em determinados casos, em especial quando se trata da aplicação de norma de ordem pública, uma das características do Direito Material do Trabalho. Ademais, considerando as questões linguísticas implicadas na formulação da pretensão da parte e da sentença, foi feita pesquisa jurisprudencial no sítio eletrônico do Tribunal Superior do Trabalho, de modo a identificar as relações hermenêuticas estabelecidas entre o pedido e a decisão final neste tribunal. Para tanto, foram selecionadas 149 decisões em que se discute a existência ou não de julgamento além dos limites da lide, destacando-se os casos em que o tribunal considerou desnecessária a formulação de pedido expresso para a concessão de direito trabalhista / The purpose of this dissertation is to study the use of the Principle of Ne Ultra et Extra Petita in individual labor process. This principle is defined by the restrictive aspect of the acts of the judge, binding the sentence to the matters under dispute. The core discussion lies on the identification of such matters, which can be seen as simply the pleadings expressed by the parties or as all the matters in connection with the facts merely mentioned by them. The latter position would allow the judicial authority to pronounce a sentence addressing additional matters that were not expressly pleaded by the parties. Based on the idea that the due process of law is an instrument to achieve effectiveness of legal commands, on the already accepted exception of this principle when it comes to public order rules, and also on the assumption that labor law is of public order, this dissertation analyzed the possibility of disregarding the Principle of Ne Ultra et Extra Petita in individual labor process in order to enhance the legal award. In addition to the theoretical analysis, a wide research on the website of the superior labor court (Tribunal Superior do Trabalho) was carried out in order to verify the hermeneutical relations between the pleadings and the dispositions of the judicial decision. Bearing such an objective in mind, 149 decisions on the alleged violation of the Principle of Ne Ultra et Extra Petita were selected and analyzed, focusing on those awards in which the court considered irrelevant the existence of an express pleading in order to grant or deny a specific labor right.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Júlio César Maggio Stürmer_.pdf: 2323770 bytes, checksum: fdfa09d6e4ea4c23c8913aba6208b4bf (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-12-12 / Nenhuma / O presente trabalho pretende, a partir da Crítica Hermenêutica do Direito de Lenio Streck, que tem por base uma visão hermenêutico-filosófica do Direito, estudar o processo, estabelecendo uma nova concepção teórica e prática. Para tanto, foi investigado como o processo é compreendido e manejado no Direito brasileiro, em especial no tocante às suas eventuais amarras ao direito privado (instrumento) e ao trato regionalizado (divisão por ramos), confrontando esses elementos com a ideia de unidade ou núcleo fundamental existente no processo. Essa unidade fundamental, cujo conteúdo é atravessado por elementos paradigmáticos, é apresentada como o ponto a partir do qual se deve pensar o processo. Assim, sob aportes filosóficos de Heidegger e Gadamer, procura-se demonstrar que a compreensão é um fenômeno que ocorre de forma única, partindo da pré-compreensão do intérprete, que é povoada por pré-conceitos, alguns legítimos (devem ser considerados), outros não. Fazendo a conexão entre Filosofia e Direito, sustenta-se que é preciso atribuir um sentido adequado ao processo, como processo democrático. Trata-se de uma concepção de processo que respeita os paradigmas entregues pela tradição (jurídica e filosófica). São eles que darão o mundo inserido no qual o intérprete deve compreender adequadamente o processo (direitos, garantias etc.) para a obtenção de repostas (decisões/interpretações) adequadas, na linha defendida por Lenio Streck. Aliado a essa nova visão teórica, tem-se o aspecto prático daí decorrente, em relação ao qual se entende que é necessária a existência de critérios ou de filtros que orientem o intérprete em sua atividade, permitindo que, em sua reflexão, ao “se dar conta de seus pré-juízos”, possa avaliá-los como legítimos ou ilegítimos. Da mesma forma, tais critérios/filtros irão permitir que, além do decisor, os demais membros da comunidade jurídica – partes e doutrina, por exemplo – possam avaliar a adequação da decisão, viabilizando o “constrangimento” (Streck) em busca da resposta adequada. Defende-se, assim, que: a) o processo democrático deve ser considerado como elemento da pré-compreensão e, portanto, condição de possibilidade de toda e qualquer compreensão; b) o processo jurisdicional (seja civil, penal, trabalhista etc.) possui uma unidade – ou núcleo fundamental –, pensada a partir dos paradigmas entregues pela tradição e que dão sentido ao que se nomina de processo democrático. Portanto, considerando o lugar de fala desta tese (paradigmático, como já exposto), a ideia de processo democrático deve atravessar, com todo seu conteúdo, qualquer perspectiva disciplinar de processo, informando, também, o intérprete/aplicador do direito; c) O processo democrático, cujo conteúdo paradigmático é uniforme em todas as áreas do Direito, é um pré-conceito legítimo que deve ser considerado pelo intérprete para que se obtenha uma resposta constitucionalmente adequada. Caso o intérprete não se dê conta desse pré-conceito, ou não o aceite, decidindo sem considerá-lo, a resposta judicial será marcada pela arbitrariedade; d) É necessária a existência de critérios ou de filtros que orientem o intérprete em sua atividade, permitindo que, em sua reflexão, ao “se dar conta de seus pré-juízos”, possa avaliá-los como legítimos ou ilegítimos, contribuindo para a interpretação/resposta adequada. / From Lenio Streck’s Hermeneutical Critique of Law and its hermeneutical-philosophical reading of Law, the present study seeks to study the legal process, establishing new theoretical and practical conceptions. In order to do that, this work investigates how the legal process actually works in the Brazilian legal system, especially regarding its possible bindings to private law (instrumental) and its separation into branches, confronting these elements to an idea of unity and fundamental core to legal procedures. This fundamental unity and its content crossed by paradigmatic elements is presented as the starting point from which the legal process must be thought. This way, under philosophical insights from Heidegger and Gadamer, this study aims to show that the process of understanding is a phenomenon that happens in a unique way, starting from the interpreter’s pre-understanding and its pre-judgments (some of them are legitimate and should be considered, while others should not. Connecting Philosophy and Law, this work seeks to establish an adequate conception of legal process as a democratic process, a conception that respects the paradigms that come from the legal and philosophical tradition. These are the paradigms that will support the world in which the interpreter shall adequately understand the process (its rights, guarantees, etc.) in order to reach adequate interpretations and decisions. From this new theoretical conception, the consequent practical aspect is the need for criteria and filters that guide the interpreters and their activity, allowing them to understand their own pre-conceptions and therefore evaluate them as legitimate or illegitimate. In the same way, such criteria/filters allow not only the judge, but all the legal community – the parties and legal scholars, for instance – to evaluate if a sentence is adequate, making it possible for a public “constraint” (Streck) in search of an adequate decision. This study defends that: a) the democratic process should be considered an element of the pre-understanding step, and therefore condition of possibility of every understanding; b) the legal process has a unity – or fundamental core – established by the paradigms of tradition that give significance to the conception of a democratic process. Therefore, considering the paradigmatic role of this thesis, the idea of a democratic process shall be present with all of its content in any legal process approach by the Law interpreter. c) The democratic process, and its paradigmatic content that is uniform to all legal areas, is a legitimate pre-conception and must be considered by the interpreter in order to obtain a decision according to the Constitution. If the judge/interpreter does not consider such pre-conception, or does not accept it, deciding a case without considering it, arbitrariness will taint the legal decision. d) It is necessary to establish criteria and filters that guide the legal interpreters in their activity, allowing them to understand their own pre-conceptions and therefore evaluate them as legitimate or illegitimate, contributing to an adequate interpretation and one right answer in the legal decision.

Each day, millions of people ask questions and search for answers on the World Wide Web. Due to this, the Internet has grown to a world wide database of questions and answers, accessible to almost everyone. Since this database is so huge, it is hard to find out whether a question has been answered or even asked before. As a consequence, users are asking the same questions again and again, producing a vicious circle of new content which hides the important information. One platform for questions and answers are Web forums, also known as discussion boards. They present discussions as item streams where each item contains the contribution of one author. These contributions contain questions and answers in human readable form. People use search engines to search for information on such platforms. However, current search engines are neither optimized to highlight individual questions and answers nor to show which questions are asked often and which ones are already answered. In order to close this gap, this thesis introduces the \\emph{Effingo} system. The Effingo system is intended to extract forums from around the Web and find question and answer items. It also needs to link equal questions and aggregate associated answers. That way it is possible to find out whether a question has been asked before and whether it has already been answered. Based on these information it is possible to derive the most urgent questions from the system, to determine which ones are new and which ones are discussed and answered frequently. As a result, users are prevented from creating useless discussions, thus reducing the server load and information overload for further searches. The first research area explored by this thesis is forum data extraction. The results from this area are intended be used to create a database of forum posts as large as possible. Furthermore, it uses question-answer detection in order to find out which forum items are questions and which ones are answers and, finally, topic detection to aggregate questions on the same topic as well as discover duplicate answers. These areas are either extended by Effingo, using forum specific features such as the user graph, forum item relations and forum link structure, or adapted as a means to cope with the specific problems created by user generated content. Such problems arise from poorly written and very short texts as well as from hidden or distributed information.

The World Wide Web has become a medium for people to share information. People use Web-based collaborative tools such as question answering (QA) portals, blogs/forums, email and instant messaging to acquire information and to form online-based communities. In an online QA portal, a user asks a question and other users can provide answers based on their knowledge, with the question usually being answered by many users. It can become overwhelming and/or time/resource consuming for a user to read all of the answers provided for a given question. Thus, there exists a need for a mechanism to rank the provided answers so users can focus on only reading good quality answers. The majority of online QA systems use user feedback to rank users’ answers and the user who asked the question can decide on the best answer. Other users who didn’t participate in answering the question can also vote to determine the best answer. However, ranking the best answer via this collaborative method is time consuming and requires an ongoing continuous involvement of users to provide the needed feedback. The objective of this research is to discover a way to recommend the best answer as part of a ranked list of answers for a posted question automatically, without the need for user feedback. The proposed approach combines both a non-content-based reputation method and a content-based method to solve the problem of recommending the best answer to the user who posted the question. The non-content method assigns a score to each user which reflects the users’ reputation level in using the QA portal system. Each user is assigned two types of non-content-based reputations cores: a local reputation score and a global reputation score. The local reputation score plays an important role in deciding the reputation level of a user for the category in which the question is asked. The global reputation score indicates the prestige of a user across all of the categories in the QA system. Due to the possibility of user cheating, such as awarding the best answer to a friend regardless of the answer quality, a content-based method for determining the quality of a given answer is proposed, alongside the non-content-based reputation method. Answers for a question from different users are compared with an ideal (or expert) answer using traditional Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing techniques. Each answer provided for a question is assigned a content score according to how well it matched the ideal answer. To evaluate the performance of the proposed methods, each recommended best answer is compared with the best answer determined by one of the most popular link analysis methods, Hyperlink-Induced Topic Search (HITS). The proposed methods are able to yield high accuracy, as shown by correlation scores: Kendall correlation and Spearman correlation. The reputation method outperforms the HITS method in terms of recommending the best answer. The inclusion of the reputation score with the content score improves the overall performance, which is measured through the use of Top-n match scores.

近年線上教學平台有著很大的發展，不管是國內的均一教學平台，或國外知名的可汗教育平台，都提供各種學科便利學生自主學習。而在高中化學計算的領域中，這些平台上均提供各種教學課程。美中不足的是在線上的練習系統中，往往題目數量少、題目變化少、無詳細解題步驟，這樣將不足以透過題目衡量一個學生在各個主題的學習上有無明顯的進步。 本論文的目的是改善上述問題。我們設計並實做一系統，只要使用者輸入簡單需求，即可自動產生高中化學問題以及伴隨詳細解答，可方便出題者快速產生各式不同主題的高中化學應用題目。我們的系統提供一個Web前端供使用者輸入所需要生成的題目之資訊。系統由此收齊相關參數之後，接著即可依據參數產生符合題目限制條件的化學問題生成模型。此問題模型為一hypergraph，節點代表已知或未知相關化學量，超連結(hyperedge)則代表數個化學量間的相依關係。有了此一以ASP(Answer Set Programming)表達的問題模型之後，系統即可利用ASP求解器(Solver)進行單一或多個題目生成，後續工作則是驗證每一生成題目之可行性並產生解題步驟，最後經由Django整合呈現於Web上。 / In recent years there has been great progress in the development of online learning. Well-known platforms such as international Khan Academic or local Junyi Academy in Taiwan provide courses in various subjects allowing interested students to study in a very convenient and autonomous way. As expected, courses on common subjects such as high school chemistry are offered with rich content by these platforms. However, there are shortcomings in these courses about the problems they provide for the students to practice or test. In addition to rich content, an ideal course should provide abundant problems of all possible topics, with each given detailed solution, so that students can evaluate their achievement of study by practicing or testing themselves with these problems. Unfortunately, no courses on these platforms meet the above requirements. The purpose of this thesis is to improve the above shortcoming by providing a system which can generate automatically word problems on various topics of high school chemistry, together with detailed accompanied solutions. Our system is a web-based application implemented using Django. It provides a front-end enabling the users to enter related information for the word problems they want the system to generate. According to the parameters collected from the front-end, our system will generate a corresponding chemical problem model. The model is a hypergraph with nodes representing known or unknown chemical quantities related to the problem and hyperedges representing relations or dependencies among these quantities. After the model is generated as a logic program of ASP(Answer-set Programming), the system will use an ASP solver to generate one or more candidate problems. Subsequent works are then used to verify the feasibility of each problem and produce a solution for the feasible one. Finally the generated problems as well as solutions are wrapped in the server side and then sent to and presented friendly in the client's browser.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / The lime application decrease soil acidity and increase the exchangeable calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) level. calcitic and dolomitic limes cannot present the same efficiency in soil acidity correction and since it can enlarge or narrow the Ca:Mg soil relationship, it also may cause nutritional problems to the plants or even to harm their development. Four experiments were carried out: one in a greenhouse and three in field conditions. The greenhouse experiment aimed to quantify the calcium and magnesium supply to the soybean roots cultivated in soil with Mg growing saturations in CEC pH 7. A no-liming Oxisoil was used; it was collected right on the 0-20 cm layer, dry, grind and sieved through 2 mm. Then CaCO3 or the CaCO3+MgCO3 mixture was applied aiming at elevating the water pH up to 6, making possible Mg growing saturations in CEC pH 7. The soil was conditioned in pots and, after incubation, cultivated with soybean for a period of 80 days. During the experiment, dry matter production evaluations, content and accumulation of calcium and also magnesium on tissue were carried out as well as the supply of those to the roots. The three field experiments were accomplished with two main objectives: a) to evaluate the resulting alterations of the calcitic and dolomitic limestone proportions application in the soils exchangeable level of calcium and magnesium and also to verify their effects in plants nutrition; and b) to evaluate the efficiency of calcitic and dolomitic limestone with superficial and incorporate application in soil acidity correction and in the productivity of crops in no-tillage. These experiments were carried in october 2004, in Rio Grande do Sul state different physiographic areas through no-tillage and cultivated with annual crops. The treatments consisted in an enough dose of calcitic and dolomitic limestone application proportions to elevate the pH in water up to 6, applied in the surface or incorporated. The production of black oats dry matter and soybean, wheat, canola grains yeild, and content of Ca and Mg in the vegetable tissue of these cultures were evaluated. After 42 months from the treatment application, soil samples were collected in the layers of 0-5; 5-10; 10-15; 15-20 and 0-10 cm and then the exchangeable level of Ca, Mg and Al, pH in water and saturation for bases were determined. The results show that the Ca and Mg plants content alterations are due to the magnitude of the supply of those to the roots more than to the Ca:Mg ratio. The limestone considerably alter the level of Ca and exchangeable Mg and also the Ca:Mg ratio of the soil, what does not provoke nutritional problems to the cultures as long as the soil tenors are enough, the interaction among both cations in the plant absorption is of low intensity or it does even exist. The calcitic and dolomitic limestone present the same agronomic efficiency in the acidity correction and the crops productivity is not affected by the type of applied limestone. / A aplicação de calcário corrige a acidez do solo e eleva os teores de cálcio (Ca) e magnésio (Mg) trocáveis. Os calcários calcítico e dolomítico podem não apresentar a mesma eficiência na correção da acidez do solo e, por aumentar ou diminuir a relação Ca:Mg do solo, causar problemas nutricionais às plantas e prejudicar o seu desenvolvimento. Foram conduzidos quatro experimentos: um em casa de vegetação e três em condições de campo. O experimento de casa de vegetação teve como objetivo quantificar o suprimento de cálcio e magnésio às raízes de soja cultivadas em solo com saturações crescentes de Mg na CTC pH 7. Utilizou-se um solo Latossolo Vermelho distrófico típico sem histórico de calagem, que foi coletado na camada 0-20 cm, seco, moído e passado em peneira de 2 mm. Em seguida, aplicou-se CaCO3 ou a mistura de CaCO3+MgCO3 em quantidade suficiente para elevar o pH em água até 6 e capaz de criar saturações crescentes de Mg na CTC pH 7. O solo foi acondicionado em vasos e, após incubação, cultivado com soja por um período de 80 dias. Durante o experimento, foram realizadas avaliações da produção de matéria seca, teores e acumulo de cálcio e magnésio nos tecidos e o suprimento destes às raízes. Os três experimentos de campo foram realizados com dois objetivos: a) avaliar as alterações resultantes da aplicação de proporções de calcários calcítico e dolomítico nos teores trocáveis de cálcio e magnésio de solos e verificar seus efeitos na nutrição de plantas; e b) avaliar a eficiência de calcários calcítico e dolomítico com aplicação superficial e incorporada na correção da acidez de solos e na produtividade de culturas em sistema de plantio direto. Estes experimentos foram instalados em outubro de 2004, em diferentes regiões fisiográficas do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, conduzidos sob Sistema Plantio Direto e cultivados com culturas anuais. Os tratamentos consistiram da aplicação proporções de calcários calcítico e dolomítico em dose suficiente para elevar o pH em água a 6, aplicados em superfície ou incorporados por lavração e gradagem. Foram avaliadas a produção de matéria seca de aveia preta, rendimento de grãos de soja, trigo e canola e teores de Ca e Mg no tecido vegetal destas culturas. Aos 42 meses da aplicação dos tratamentos foram coletadas amostras de solo nas camadas de 0-5; 5-10; 10-15; 15-20 e 0-10 cm e determinados os teores trocáveis de Ca, Mg e Al, pH em água e saturação por bases. Os resultados mostram que a alteração dos teores de Ca e Mg das plantas está mais ligada à magnitude do suprimento destes às raízes do que à relação Ca:Mg. Os calcários alteram consideravelmente os teores de Ca e Mg trocáveis e a relação Ca:Mg do solo, o que não provoca problemas nutricionais às culturas, pois quando os teores do solo são suficientes, a interação entre estes dois cátions na absorção pela planta é de baixa intensidade ou não existe. Os calcários calcítico e dolomítico apresentam a mesma eficiência agronômica na correção da acidez e a produtividade das culturas não é afetada pelo tipo de calcário aplicado.

The Linz Center of Mechatronics’ SymSpace platform is designed to provide intelligent design and training for the traditional engineer training and industrial design approach in the field of motor design, which relies on the engineer’s own experience and manual work. This paper first analyzes and explores the usage patterns and possible improvement perspectives of motor design components using SymSpace user data. Then an attempt is made to summarize the motor design manual provided by LCM using a text summary model and use it for training engineers. Next, a question-and-answer system model was used to try to provide an aid system for engineers in design. The evaluation of text summaries and question and answer systems is difficult in the motor design domain because the amount of redundant textual information in this domain is small and key information is often presented in detail rather than in the main stem of the sentence. In this case, instead of evaluating the model using traditional machine scores, this paper refers to the feedback from LCM experts as future users. The final results show that, despite the problems of difficulty in explaining the reasons; the possibility of being misleading; and the loss of information details, both attempts are generally positive and the exploration in this direction is worthwhile. / Symspace från Linz Center of Mechatronics är utformad för att tillhandahålla intelligent design och utbildning för den traditionella ingenjörsutbildningen och den industriella designmetoden inom motorkonstruktion, som bygger på ingenjörens egen erfarenhet och manuellt arbete. I den här artikeln analyseras och utforskas först användningsmönster och möjliga förbättringsperspektiv för komponenter för motorkonstruktion med hjälp av användaruppgifter från Symspace. Därefter görs ett försök att sammanfatta den motorkonstruktionshandbok som tillhandahålls av LCM med hjälp av en modell för textsammanfattningar och använda den för att utbilda ingenjörer. Därefter användes en modell för ett system med frågor och svar för att försöka tillhandahålla ett hjälpsystem för ingenjörer vid konstruktion. Utvärderingen av textsammanfattningar och fråga-och-svar-system är svår inom motorkonstruktionsområdet eftersom mängden överflödig textinformation inom detta område är liten och nyckelinformation ofta presenteras i detalj snarare än i huvudstammen av meningen. I det här fallet hänvisar den här artikeln i stället för att utvärdera modellen med hjälp av traditionella maskinpoäng till feedback från LCM-experter som framtida användare. De slutliga resultaten visar att trots problemen med svårigheten att förklara orsakerna, möjligheten att vara vilseledande och förlusten av informationsdetaljer är båda försöken generellt sett positiva och att utforskningen i denna riktning är värd att fortsätta.
