Diploma thesis "Regulation Brussels I and other procedural legislation of European private international law" (with regards to recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters) is focused on the procedure of recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in the European Union. The beginning of the thesis is dedicated to the European legislative development of the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. The key part of the thesis, analysis of recognition and enforcement according to Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, so called Brussels I Regulation, is contained in the third chapter. This chapter describes the procedure required for recognition and enforcement of judgments given in one member state in another member state, lists related significant decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union and provides critical evaluation of this procedure by specialists. The aim of Chapters four and five is introduction of regulations that came into force after the Brussels I Regulation.

Attention is drawn to the fact that there is not only one analyticity conception in the course of Kant´s philosophy. The central matter in this debate involves the nature of constitutive judgments of mathematics. Against Kantian position, according to which mathematics is based on synthetic a priori judgments, Frege´s thesis states that the analytical judgments are this science foundation. It is shown, however, favorable on accepting the same synthetic a priori judgments concerning geometry. This debate also includes the non Euclidean geometry and David Hilbert´s formalism that will play an important role as distinct positions Euclidean geometry conception which is shared by Kant and Frege / Este trabalho tem por objetivo estabelecer a comparação entre os pensamentos de Frege e Kant acerca da distinção entre os juízos analítico e sintético. Chama-se a atenção para o fato de que não há somente uma única concepção de analiticidade no transcurso da filosofia de Kant. O ponto central nessa discussão envolve a natureza dos juízos constitutivos da matemática. À posição kantiana segundo a qual a matemática fundamenta-se em juízos sintéticos a priori, Frege opõe sua tese em que sustenta ser os juízos analíticos a base dessa ciência. Contudo, por outro lado, mostra-se positiva ao aceitar os mesmos juízos sintéticos a priori na geometria. Inseremse nesse debate, também, a geometria não-Euclidiana e o formalismo de David Hilbert que desempenharão papel importante como posições divergentes à concepção de geometria Euclidiana da qual compartilham Kant e Frege

Thesis (MAcc)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The primary aim of this study is to provide a critical evaluation of the correctness of the judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal in the case of Commissioner: South African Revenue Services v Brummeria Renaissance (Pty) Ltd [2007] SCA 99 (RSA). The primary question investigated in this study, is whether the court had indeed decided correctly when it concluded that: “…the right to retain and use the borrowed funds without paying interest had a money value, and accordingly that the value of such a right must be included in the companies‟ gross income for the years in which such rights accrued to the companies.” The question will be investigated by: i. evaluating the relevance of the doctrine plus valet quod agitur quod quam simulate concipitur (the “plus valet-doctrine”) and the in fraudem legis-doctrine, in relation to the facts of the Brummeria-case; ii. consideration of certain basic principles regarding „rights‟ (real rights, corporeal rights as well as rights of recovery and performances), „property‟, interpretation of contracts as it manifests in South African Law, and the common law principles regarding mutuum and considering the relevance thereof in the Brummeria-case; iii. considering the principles of pactum antichreseos and the relevance thereof to the facts of the Brummeria-case; iv. considering further legal tax technical aspects with a view to consider whether the “accruals” of the Brummeria-case have indeed constituted an „amount‟ for purposes of the „gross income‟-definition in section 1 of the Act; and v. considering the exact moment (or year of assessment) when an amount (based on the assumption that an „amount‟ has accrued to the taxpayer) had to be included in the taxpayer‟s gross income. The relevance of United States tax rules (regarding the income tax implications of interest-free loans) on interest-free loans in Life Rights Agreements will also be considered. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die oorkoepelende doelstelling van hierdie studie is om ‘n kritiese evaluering van die korrektheid van die Hoogste Hof van Appèl se uitspraak in die saak van Kommissaris: Suid-Afrikaanse Inkomstediens v Brummeria Renaissance (Edms) Bpk [2007] SCA 99 (RSA) te verskaf. Die oorkoepelende vraagstuk wat in hierdie studie ondersoek word, is of die Hof inderdaad gelyk gehad het ten opsigte van die beslissing dat: “…the right to retain and use the borrowed funds without paying interest had a money value, and accordingly that the value of such a right must be included in the companies’ gross income for the years in which such rights accrued to the companies.” Hierdie vraagstuk sal ondersoek word deur: i. die toepaslikheid van die leerstelling plus valet quod agitur quod quam simulate concipitur (die “plus valet-leerstelling”) en die in fraudem legis-leerstelling op die Brummeria-feitestel te oorweeg; ii. sekere basiese beginsels rakende ‘regte’ (saaklike regte en sake sowel as vorderingsregte en prestasies), ‘eiendom’, uitleg van kontrakte soos dit in die Suid-Afrikaanse Reg manifesteer, en die gemeenregtelike beginsels rakende mutuum te ondersoek en die toepaslikheid daarvan in die Brummeria-saak te oorweeg; iii. die beginsels van pactum antichreseos en die toepaslikheid daarvan in die Brummeria-feitestel te oorweeg; iv. verdere regstegniese aspekte vanuit ‘n belastingoogpunt te ondersoek ten einde te oorweeg of die “toevallings” van die Brummeria-saak inderdaad ‘n ‘bedrag’ vir doeleindes van die ‘bruto inkomste’-definisie in artikel 1 van die Wet daarstel; en v. oorweging te skenk aan die juiste tydstip (oftewel jaar van aanslag) waarop ‘n bedrag (gebaseer op die aanname dat ‘n ‘bedrag’ die belastingpligtige wel toegeval het) by die belastingpligtige se bruto inkomste ingesluit moet word. Voorts sal die toepaslikheid van Amerikaanse belastingreëls (betreffende die inkomstebelastingimplikasies van rentevrye lenings) op die rentevrye lenings in die Lewensregooreenkomste ook oorweeg word.

o presente trabalho objetivou identificar e analisar as decisões jurídicas que se referem à responsabilidade médica, quanto à ocorrência de formação jurisprudencial relativa às faltas decorrentes de atos ou procedimentos técnicos, assim como das faltas contra o humanismo médico, nas esferas civil e penal. Pesquisou-se as decisões judiciais relativas à responsabilização da atividade médica, de 1960 a 1989, apresentadas na Revista dos Tribunais e Revista de Jurisprudência do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de São Paulo. Foram estudados os casos relativos a faltas por erro de diagnóstico, determinação do tratamento, condução do tratamento e elaboração de falsos atestados médicos, classificados como faltas técnicas. Como faltas cometidas contra o humanismo médico foram estudadas as decisões concernentes ao direito ao consentimento, à informação, à liberdade, à privacidade, à segurança e o dever da solidariedade. Analisa-se e comenta-se as diversas tendências jurisprudenciais envolvendo a matéria pesquisada, através de abordagem que possa subsidiar os profissionais de saúde ao melhor conhecimento da realidade da interpretação jurídica da atividade médica. / The aim of this thesis was to identify and to analyse the juridical resolutions which refer to the medical responsibility for the ocurrence of the jurisprudence concerning failures due to performance or technical procedures, as well as failures against medical humanism, in civil or penal fields. The responsibility of medical activity, from 1960 to 1989, published by Revista dos Tribunais and Revista de Jurisprudência do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de São Paulo, were searched. Ocurrences related to failures due to errors on diagnosis, instruction and conduction treatment, the filling out of wrong medical certificates, all of these, classified as technical failures, were inquired. As failures against medical humanism, resolutions regarding the right to consentment, to information, to liberty, to privacy and to security and the duty of solidarity were studied. A number of jurisprudential tendencies involving the searched matter were analysed and commented, through an approach which could give elements to health professionals for a better knowledge of the reality of juridical understanding of the medical activity.

Neste trabalho, concentramo-nos em uma grande questão norteadora: a produção do discurso decisório, pelos representantes do Estado (juízes e desembargadores), no processo de subsunção da norma abstrata ao caso concreto, resulta em discursos imparciais, pautados exclusivamente na lei, ou estes discursos podem refletir decisões totalmente influenciadas e permeadas por outros discursos, representando as outras vozes que comporão conjuntamente estes discursos dialógicos? Para responder a esta questão, realizamos uma análise de sete sentenças judiciais e sete acórdãos, versantes sobre a situação jurídica de negros escravos. Como são decisões proferidas no século XIX, anos de 1873, 1874(3), 1875(3), 1876(4), 1877(3) e 1878, período de pré-vigência da Lei Áurea, encontram-se manuscritas. Por isso, utilizamos, para compreensão linguística dos manuscritos, da ciência filológica e de uma de suas formas de transcrição, a edição semidiplomática. Após a edição destas decisões, levantamos todos os aspectos do campo de produção deste gênero e do processo enunciativo, para então, posteriormente, detectarmos os recursos linguísticos e discursivos utilizados pelos magistrados em suas decisões, que revelaram como este juiz-autor de seu discurso- maneja as diversas vozes que os perpassam, as vozes dos personagens (autor, réu do processo, testemunhas), as vozes de outros julgamentos, outros tribunais ou a própria voz interior deste sujeito-autor-juiz, como uma singularidade. Com isto, objetivamos, debater o estatuto discursivo destas decisões judiciais e de suas constituição como gênero e como práxis discursiva dialógica, discussão esta amparada pelo arcabouço da teoria dialógica do discurso. / In this work, we concentrate on one major leading question: the decisive speech production by the representatives of the State (judges and high level court judges), the process of subsumption of the abstract norm to the concrete case, results on impartial speeches, guided only by the law or these speeches may reflect decisions totally permeated and influenced by other discourses, representing the other voices that compose together these dialogical discourses? To answer this question, we analyzed seven judicial judgment sentences and seven high level court judgments, about the legal status of slaves. As the decisions were made in the nineteenth century, years of 1873, 1874 (3), 1875 (3), 1876 (4), 1877 (3) and 1878, period of the Golden Law pre-term, they are handwritten. Therefore, we used, for linguistic understanding of the manuscripts, philological science and one of its forms of copying, the semidiplomatic edition. After editing these decisions, we raised all aspects of the production field of this gender and the enunciation process, and then, subsequently, detect the linguistic and discursive resources used by judges in their decisions, which showed how this Judge-author of their speech manages the several voices that permeate them, the characters voices (author, accused of the case, witnesses), the voices of other judgments, other courts or their own interior voice within this subject-author-judge, as a singularity. With this, we intend to discuss the discursive policy (statute) of these decisions and their constitution as a genre and as a dialogical discursive praxis, such discussion supported by the theoretical framework of the dialogical theory of discourse.

O público alvo consistiu em 240 crianças e adolescentes da terceira à oitava séries do ensino fundamental de oito anos, entre oito e quatorze anos, de escolas com características diversificadas, pública e privada, confessional e não confessional, com e sem proposta pedagógica bem definida e de diferentes níveis socioeconômicos, que participassem de projeto de Educação Ambiental há mais de dois anos. Os instrumentos de investigação utilizados foram observações das crianças e dos adolescentes no ambiente escolar e uma entrevista semiestruturada, contendo questões de conhecimento e de dilemas morais sobre temas ambientais. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a maioria das crianças e dos adolescentes investigados apresenta juízo moral de respeito para com temas ambientais, assim como casos de juízo moral de desrespeito ambiental independente da idade. O conhecimento ambiental das crianças e dos adolescentes, de modo geral, é preliminar e intermediário, ou seja, eles não possuem entendimentos sistematizados das inter-relações entre os elementos do sistema ambiental e muitos não apresentam conhecimento da constituição de diferentes tipos de matéria presentes no meio ambiente. O conhecimento ambiental das crianças e dos adolescentes, diferentemente do juízo moral ambiental, apresentou uma tendência moderada de ampliação com a idade, entre oito e quatorze anos. O juízo moral de respeito ambiental não apresentou relação com o conhecimento que as crianças e os adolescentes possuíam dos temas ambientais. No entanto, verificamos na análise e interpretação dos dados que, apesar do conhecimento ambiental e do Juízo Moral sobre questões ambientais...

The target audience was consisted of 240 children and teenagers from third to eighth grade of elementary education of eight years, between 8 and 14 years, of schools with different characteristics, public and private, confessional and non-confessional, with or without a pedagogical propose, and different socioeconomic levels, who participate in environmental education project for over two years. The research instruments used were observations of children and teenagers in the school environment and a semi-structured interview, with questions of knowledge and moral dilemmas on environmental issues. The results showed that most of the investigated children and teenagers show Moral Judgment of respect for environmental issues, as well as cases of Moral Judgment atmosphere of disrespect for all ages, regardless of age. The environmental knowledge of children and teenagers, in general, is preliminary and intermediate, in other words, they have no systematic understanding about the interrelationships between the elements of the environmental system, and many have no knowledge of the different constitution of various themes present in environment. The environmental knowledge of children and teenagers, unlike the Moral Judgment environmental showed a moderated trend of growth with the age, between 8 and 14 years. The Moral Judgment of respect for the environment didn't show any relation with the knowledge that children and teenagers have about the environmental issues. However, we found in the analysis and interpretation of data, that despite the environmental knowledge and Moral Judgment on environmental issues not being determinant, they are constraints, mainly after 11 years...
