A Responsabilidade Civil do Advogado sob a perspectiva civil-constitucional

Thaita Campos Trevizan 13 April 2011 (has links)
Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / A responsabilidade civil do advogado é um tema que merece destaque sob a perspectiva civil constitucional. A abrangência dessa relação jurídica pelo Código de Defesa do Consumidor e a natureza negocial multiforme da relação estabelecida entre o advogado e o cliente, cuja normativa deve ser estabecida tendo em vista o caso concreto, são pontos de destaque desse trabalho, assim como a aplicabilidade do consentimento informado. Nessa toada, pretende-se conferir o enfoque funcional a partir da releitura das classificações tradicionais da responsabilidade civil em contratual, extracontratual, subjetiva, objetiva e entre as obrigações de meio e resultado para em seguida, analisarmos das hipóteses mais frequentes de responsabilização, quais sejam: a perda de uma chance, o abuso do direito processual e a reversão de liminares revertidas ao final do processo. Por fim, dentre as tendências de prevenção e precaução de danos da responsabilidade civil, revela-se a formalização de seguros de responsabilidade profissional para advogados. / Liability of attorney is a topic that deserves attention from the perspective of the constitutional civil measure. The scope of this legal relationship by the Consumer Protection Code and the nature of multifaceted relationship between lawyer and client, whose rules must be developed further in view of the case, are highlights of this work, as well as the applicability of informed consent. In this tune, it is intended to confer the functional approach from the rereading of traditional classifications of liability in contract, tort, subjective, objective, and between the obligations of means and results to then analyze the most common assumptions of accountability, which are: the loss of a chance, the abuse of procedural law and the reversal of court orders reversed at the end of the process. Finally, among the trends of precaution and prevention of damage to civil liability, it is the formalization of professional liability insurance for lawyers.

Nossa hipótese é que, ao problematizar as concepções de mundo elaboradas pela tradição poética ligada às representações da alegoria da “máquina do mundo” e pela física dos últimos séculos, o poeta procura compor uma visão de presente que coloca o desprestígio das pretensões totalizadoras do saber como uma das principais características da contemporaneidade. Para analisar essa hipótese, dividimos o trabalho em três partes, que correspondem a questões suscitadas por cada um dos três cantos em que se divide o poema. Nelas, abordamos, respectivamente, as relações do poema com a tradição poética da “máquina do mundo”, suas relações com a história da ciência moderna e, finalmente, a maneira como o poema problematiza as relações da poesia com a imaginação, ao compor a sua visão de modernidade. Nossa conclusão é que, ao abordar as visões de mundo elaboradas pela poesia e pela ciência tradicionais, A máquina do mundo repensada encontra na figura da contradição uma forma de encenar as decepções do saber, em sua busca repetida por respostas definitivas sobre a existência. Com isso, o poema procura apontar a incerteza e a dúvida como aspectos constitutivos da maneira de a poesia contemporânea pensar a sua relação com o presente. / This work aims at understanding the relations between science and poetry in the work of the Brazilian poet Haroldo de Campos (1929-2003), taking as a starting point the reading of his poem A máquina do mundo repensada (2000). Our hypothesis is that Haroldo de Campos intends to create a concept of present time which puts the discredit of wisdom totalizing pretensions as one of the most important features of the contemporary world. He does so by discussing the world view created by the poetic tradition linked to the representations of the renaissance allegory of “machine of the world” and by the history of physics in the last centuries. In order to examine this hypothesis, we divide this work into three parts that correspond to questions suggested by each of the cantos of the poem. We deal with the relations of the poem with the poetic tradition of the “machine of the world” (first part), its relations with the modern history of Physics (second part) and, finally, with how the poem discusses the relations of poetry and imagination in order to create his view of Poetry and Modernity. We conclude that, dealing with the world views made by the traditional poetry and by the traditional science, A máquina do mundo repensada meets a way of dramatizing the deceptions of the wisdom in its search for definitive answers about the existence in the rhetoric figure of contradiction. Hence, the poem intends to point to the uncertainty as a constitutive feature by which contemporary poetry thinks its relation with the present.

No. of bitstreams: 1 RibeiroJunior_LeopoldoUberto_D.pdf: 7603056 bytes, checksum: 74ce20bf0fd942a64b1199863b05ffc9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: As pesquisas referentes às mudanças do clima são de extrema relevância para a sociedade; contudo, vêm resultando em divergências no meio científico e o tema necessita de mais estudos. Caso as projeções do Painel Intergovernamental sobre Mudanças Climáticas (IPCC), que apontam para mudanças futuras do ambiente sejam verificadas, as consequências para as atividades humanas devem se manifestar de diversas formas. No Brasil, a hidroeletricidade é a principal fonte da matriz energética, e com a perspectiva de alterações do clima, os conflitos pelo uso da água nos reservatórios podem se acentuar. Dessa forma, analisa-se o possível impacto das mudanças climáticas sobre a Usina Hidrelétrica de Furnas e propõe-se uma abordagem metodológica para mitigação dos conflitos. Como o estudo do comportamento hídrico é fundamental para a eficiência do sistema de gestão, foi realizada análise de tendência temporal das variáveis precipitação e vazão, com base nos registros históricos por meio de sete testes não paramétricos. Diversos critérios restringiram a análise a 15% do total de postos pluviométricos na bacia, o que representa a deficiência do sistema de coleta, tratamento e gerenciamento dos dados, sendo que em 40% das estações avaliadas, as alterações foram significativas; contudo, as distribuições do número de dias chuvosos se mantiveram inalteradas. Em relação aos dados fluviométricos, foram identificadas tendências de aumento não significativas. Para estimativa da disponibilidade hídrica futura, foi utilizado o modelo hidrológico chuva-vazão MGB, que obteve bom ajuste e calibração em relação aos dados observados. A fim de alimentar o MGB, foram utilizados dados do modelo atmosférico global HadCM3; no entanto, o modelo possui limitações devido à alta resolução e custo computacional. Para contornar essa limitação, foi utilizada a técnica do "downscaling" para melhor representação dos processos físicos locais, por meio do modelo regional Eta desenvolvido pelo INPE. Foram projetados cenários por meio de seis variáveis climatológicas de quatro membros, sendo o cenário "medium" o mais restritivo, dentro dos parâmetros do cenário A1B do IPCC, que foram bem ajustados para prever condições futuras, no período 2011 - 2099. Caso os cenários do Eta se verifiquem e a produção de energia de Furnas se mantenha próximo dos registros históricos, o reservatório pode esvaziar-se intensamente devido a uma estiagem prolongada. Assim, buscou-se o aprimoramento de uma metodologia para que as os aproveitamentos hidrelétricos venham atender tanto a produção de energia como a necessidade da comunidade ribeirinha e de jusante. Com base nos dados históricos da operação, prosseguiu-se para fixação da duração e frequência de transgressão de referência, com base na cota 762 m, sendo determinado como condição ideal para um período de cinco anos que o reservatório deva ficar apenas dois ciclos distribuídos em 15 meses abaixo deste nível, que pode ser alcançado com adoção de uma regra operativa por meio do armazenamento de um percentual da vazão afluente planejada para o mês subsequente, sempre que as condições de frequência e duração não sejam atingidas. Como resultado, verifica-se a possibilidade de uso integrado mais eficiente, embora o efeito sobre o Sistema Interligado Nacional não tenha sido analisado / Abstract: The research related to climate change are very important to society; however, has resulted in differences in the scientific community and the topic requires further studies. If the projections of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - IPCC that point for future changes in the environment, the consequences for human activities should manifest itself in many way. In Brazil, hydroelectric power is the greatest of the energy matrix, and with the possibility of climate change conflicts related to the water use in the reservoirs can be accentuated. In This way, were analyzes the potential impact of climate change on Furnas Hydroelectric Power and proposes a methodology to mitigation the conflicts. As the hydrology study is critical to the efficiency of the water management system, analysis trends of precipitation and flow variables, based on historical records using seven non-parametric tests. Some criteria analysis restricted to 15% of all pluviometer in the Furnas basin, which represents the deficiency in the collection, treatment and data management system, and in 40% of the stations evaluated the changes were significant, however the distributions of the number of rainy days remained without changed. In relation to runoff data, trends were identified no significant increase. To estimate future water availability, was used a hydrological rainl-flow model - MGB, which got good adjustment and calibration to the observed data. In order to use the MGB, were used data from HadCM3 global atmospheric model; however, the model has limitations due to the high resolution and computational cost. To work around this limitation, it was used the technique of "downscaling" for better representation of local physical processes, through the regional model Eta developed by INPE. Scenarios were projected through six climatological variables of four members, the "medium" scenario show the most restrictive, within the parameters of the IPCC A1B scenario, which were well adjusted to predict future conditions in the period 2011 - 2099. If the Eta scenarios occur, and the energy production of Furnas remains similar to historical records, the reservoir may empty intensely due to a prolonged drought. Thus, to improve the hydroelectric plants system will be proposed a methodology to consider energy production, such as the need of the riverside community and downstream public. Based on historical data of the operation, was fixed the duration and frequency of transgression of reference, based on 762 m level, being determined as optimal ideal condition for a period of five years that the reservoir should stay only two cycles distributed in 15 months under this level, which the adoption of an operation rule by storing a percentage of the influent flow planned for the following month, whenever the conditions of frequency and duration are not affected. As a result, there is the possibility of integrated use more efficient, although the effect on National Interconnected System has not been analyzed / Doutorado / Recursos Hidricos, Energeticos e Ambientais / Doutor em Engenharia Civil

Mallarmé : les plis et déplis du hasard à la recherche de l’infini : poésie, philosophie et politique / Mallarmé : folding and unfolding chance in search of infinite : Poetry, philosophy and politics

Drigo Agostinho, Larissa 23 January 2015 (has links)
Pour saisir l’importance et le champ d’action du hasard dans la poésie mallarméenne, nous allons procéder selon une démarche triple, recomposer l’histoire politique, poétique et philosophique qui a rendu possible l’apparition et l’instauration du hasard comme événement, à la fois révolutionnaire, créateur et conceptuel. À partir de Baudelaire, la poésie chante les révolutions échouées, mais pour maintenir vivant le désir d’un monde différent. Le hasard dans ce contexte est d’abord l’irruption imprévisible, fulgurante et éphémère d’un désir qui ne trouve pas un espace propre à l’intérieur de la vie sociale, Pour maintenir vivant et vivace le rêve d’un monde différent, la poésie doit : fournir la preuve que son action, tout en étant restreinte, compte ; faire durer un hasard voué à l’évanouissement, en constituant un espace où il puisse demeurer, se multiplier et ainsi retrouver la consistance qui le fera durer. Faire durer le hasard à l’origine de toute nouveauté, c’est la tâche que Mallarmé attribue à sa poésie. Sur le plan philosophique, cette démarche requiert une critique radicale de la raison et de la représentation. Dans ce contexte, Mallarmé a non seulement annoncé le hasard, mais il a cherché à découvrir la logique de ce qui échappe à la raison en composant une oeuvre capable de rendre réel, visible et intelligible, la puissance imprévisible et inépuisable que le hasard enserre. / The purpose of this work is to comprehend the importance and scope of chance in the poetry of Mallarmé. In order to do that, we will proceed according to a three-pronged approach; recompose the political, poetic and philosophical context that made possible the emergence and establishment of chance as an event both revolutionary, creative and conceptual. Since Baudelaire, poetry sings the failed revolutions, but willing to preserve the desire for a different world. Chance in this context is the unpredictable bursts, lightning and transient of a desire that can not find its place within the social life, to keep alive and vivid the dream of a different world, poetry must: provide evidence that its action, even restricted, counts; make last chance doomed to fade, constituting a space where it can remain, multiply itself and thus find the consistency to remain. Prolonging a contingency that creates novelty is the task that Mallarmé attributes to his poetry. Philosophically, this approach requires a radical critique of reason and representation. In this context, Mallarmé has not only announced chance, but he sought to discover the logic of what escapes from reason composing a work capable of making real, visible and intelligible, the unpredictable and inexhaustible power that chance grips.

The relationship between locus of control and academic achievement among at risk students

Kirchner, Marthina Jacoba 26 October 2004 (has links)
The main aim of this study was to determine whether the locus of control construct could be used to predict academic success. The study differentiated between short-term academic success (successful completion of the first year of study) and long-term academic success (successful completion of pre-graduate degree). Both generalised and domain specific locus of control measurements were used to determine which of these correlate with academic success. A further aim was to investigate the role of self esteem and level of defensiveness in the relationship between locus of control and academic achievement. Four measurement instruments were administered to an effective sample of 53 first year students at the University of Pretoria. The measurement instruments were the Internal, Powerful other and Chance Scales (Levenson, 1981), the Multi-dimensional, Multi-attributional Causality Scale (Lefcourt, 1981), the Social Desirability Scale (Crowne&Marlowe, 1960) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). The statistical analyses consisted of descriptive statistics and correlational analyses. Analysis of the data showed no significant correlation between locus of control and academic achievement for the group as a whole but did show a significant positive correlation between long-term academic success and generalised internality among black students. The data further showed a significant negative correlation between self esteem and long-term academic success. Self esteem correlated positively with an external orientation in both black and white students. The only significant predictor of academic success among white students was social desirability. / Dissertation (MA (Research Psychology))--University of Pretoria, 2005. / Psychology / unrestricted

Hasard et individuation. Penser la rencontre comme invention à la lumière de l'œuvre de Gilbert Simondon / Chance and individuation. Thinking the encounter as invention in the light of Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy

Morizot, Baptiste 10 December 2011 (has links)
L’objet de cette recherche revient à interroger le rôle du hasard dans le processus d’individuation tel qu’il est théorisé par Gilbert Simondon. Dans cette perspective, le hasard, élaboré à partir du concept darwinien de chance, doit être considéré comme opérateur théorique et concept explicatif d’une théorie des processus de genèse de forme individuelle, et non comme un principe métaphysique ou une mesure de l’ignorance. Il qualifie dans l’individuation la modalité de la rencontre entre la singularité, qui donne forme à l’être individuel, et le milieu métastable individuel, susceptible de transformations. Suivant cette perspective, le hasard devient un des opérateurs de l’invention des structures individuelles singulières, plurielles, et novatrices, formes de vie et manières d’exister, qui sont élaborées comme solution à des problèmes par le processus d’individuation. Cette analyse de la pensée simondonienne va permettre de mettre en place les linéaments d’une théorie de la rencontre individuante, induisant une conception particulière de l’individualité humaine, qui est susceptible d’entrer en dialogue avec les thèses de la sociologie dispositionnelle (P. Bourdieu, B. Lahire). Comme invention, l’opération d’individuation sera alors analysable à partir du concept biologique d’exaptation (S. J. Gould), qui explicite dans l’évolution l’invention de couples structuro-fonctionnels nouveaux, à partir d’un jeu entre hasard et invention vitale. / This research aims to question the role of chance in the individuation process as it was theorized by Gilbert Simondon. In this context, chance, which was drawn up based on the Darwinian concept of chance, must be considered as a theoretical operator and as an explanatory concept of the genesis of individual form, and not as a metaphysical principle or as a measure of ignorance. It characterises within the individuation the modality of the encounter between the singularity which shapes the individual being and the individual metastable environment which is capable of being transformed. From this point of view, chance turns out to be one of the invention operators of singular, individual, plural and innovative structures which are ways of existing, created as solutions to problems by the individuation process itself. This analysis of Simondon’s philosophy allows us to outline a theory of the individuating encounter leading us to think of human individuality through a specific approach which enters into dialogue with the theses of the dispositional sociology (P. Bourdieu, B. Lahire). From an invention point of view, the individuation operation can thus be analysed using the biological concept of exaptation (S. J. Gould) which makes very explicit the invention of new structure-function couples in evolution based on an articulation between chance and vital invention.

Three Postmodern Detectives Teetering on the Brink of Madness in Paul Auster´s New York Trilogy : A Comparison of the Detectives from a Postmodernist and an Autobiographical Perspective

Sondén, Björn January 2020 (has links)
As the title suggests, this essay is a postmodern and autobiographical analysis of the three detectives in Paul Auster´s widely acclaimed 1987 novel The New York Trilogy. The focus of this study is centred on a comparison between the three detectives, but also on tracking when and why the detectives devolve into madness. Moreover, it links their descent into madness to the postmodern condition. In postmodernity with its’ incredulity toward Metanarratives’ lives are shaped by chance rather than by causality. In addition, the traditional reliable tools of analysis and reason widely associated with the well-known literary detectives in the era of enlightenment, such as Sherlock Holmes or Dupin, are of little use. All of this is also aggravated by an unforgiving and painful never-ending postmodern present that leaves the detectives with little chance to catch their breath, recover their balance or sanity while being overwhelmed by their disruptive postmodern objects. Consequently, the three detectives are essentially all humiliated and stripped bare of their professional and personal identities with catastrophic results. Hence, if the three detectives start out with a reasonable confidence in their own abilities, their investigations lead them with no exceptions to a point where they are unable to distinguish reality from their postmodern paranoia and madness. And in the meantime, no crime is resolved and no social order restored. The autobiographical back drop of the three detectives and protagonists in the three novellas is the author´s own life in the late seventies and early eighties. In that sense the three protagonists all illustrate the parallel lives the author could have had, if chance and trivial every day decisions had not turned Auster´s life around, at certain critical junctures during the darkest moments of his life in connection with the painful divorce from his first wife.

Advanced Decomposition Methods in Stochastic Convex Optimization / Advanced Decomposition Methods in Stochastic Convex Optimization

Kůdela, Jakub Unknown Date (has links)
Při práci s úlohami stochastického programování se často setkáváme s optimalizačními problémy, které jsou příliš rozsáhlé na to, aby byly zpracovány pomocí rutinních metod matematického programování. Nicméně, v některých případech mají tyto problémy vhodnou strukturu, umožňující použití specializovaných dekompozičních metod, které lze použít při řešení rozsáhlých optimalizačních problémů. Tato práce se zabývá dvěma třídami úloh stochastického programování, které mají speciální strukturu, a to dvoustupňovými stochastickými úlohami a úlohami s pravděpodobnostním omezením, a pokročilými dekompozičními metodami, které lze použít k řešení problému v těchto dvou třídách. V práci popisujeme novou metodu pro tvorbu “warm-start” řezů pro metodu zvanou “Generalized Benders Decomposition”, která se používá při řešení dvoustupňových stochastických problémů. Pro třídu úloh s pravděpodobnostním omezením zde uvádíme originální dekompoziční metodu, kterou jsme nazvali “Pool & Discard algoritmus”. Užitečnost popsaných dekompozičních metod je ukázána na několika příkladech a inženýrských aplikacích.
