O declínio de casamentos, especialmente os religiosos, documentados em várias pesquisas sócio-demográficas, tem suscitado inúmeras indagações. Paralelamente a esse declínio, as uniões consensuais, que independem de vínculo civil e religioso têm aumentado e, no plano da vida cotidiana, expressam rompimentos com valores e normas tradicionais, tornando-se uma prática comum atualmente. Contudo, o fiel que contrai matrimônio na Igreja Católica e se separa do cônjuge fica proibido de participar plenamente das atividades da Igreja se constituir nova união. Entretanto, nem todo casamento católico é válido. Para verificar a validade de um casamento, o poder judiciário da Igreja, a pedido do interessado, inicia um processo de nulidade matrimonial, por meio do qual, os juízes eclesiásticos apreciam a história conjugal do casal. Após várias fases, é homologada a sentença final e se for declarada a nulidade matrimonial, o fiel pode contrair novas núpcias. Tal procedimento da Igreja ainda é pouco conhecido entre os próprios fiéis. Os colaboradores da pesquisa foram dez pessoas, cinco homens e cinco mulheres, que deram entrada ao processo de nulidade matrimonial e já conseguiram a sentença final, tendo se casado novamente. A coleta de dados foi realizada através de entrevistas individuais, gravadas e transcritas na íntegra, e de observações registradas nas residências dos colaboradores, que foram anotadas em diário de campo. O trabalho objetivou compreender as motivações das pessoas que solicitaram a nulidade do casamento religioso através do Tribunal Eclesiástico, como souberam da possibilidade de nulidade matrimonial e por que iniciaram o processo de nulidade. Pretendeu-se ainda investigar como se deu o primeiro casamento, os significados que atribuíram à separação conjugal, como vivenciam a nova união e organizam a vida familiar após contraírem outra união e a influência que a Igreja exerce nessa nova união. A análise desses dados foi qualitativa e está fundamentada em referenciais teóricos da Psicologia, da Antropologia e do Direito Canônico. A análise dos dados indica que desde o início da primeira união o relacionamento com o cônjuge mostrou-se pouco profundo, e a isso foram se somando diversas dificuldades, inclusive a infidelidade, apontada como um dos motivos de separação. Os colaboradores descreveram o período da separação e o da tramitação do processo de nulidade matrimonial como doloroso, mas o fato de terem se casado novamente na Igreja - direito adquirido com a declaração de nulidade do casamento - é percebido e avaliado como conquista positiva, que contribui para o êxito do matrimônio atual. A interpretação dos dados aponta ainda que diversas instâncias da Igreja podem atuar em trabalhos preventivos para que as pastorais, especialmente a do curso de noivos, ofereçam formação adequada para a orientação dos nubentes. / The decline of marriages, especially the religious ones, well documented in several socio-demographic researches, has raised countless issues. Aside to this fall, the consensual unions that do not depend on civil and religious bond have grown daily and they express the rupture of traditional values and rules, which has become a pervasive practice nowadays. However, the churchgoer who marries in the Catholic Church and later separates from his or her spouse becomes prohibited from fully partaking in the Church activities if a new union may happen. Nevertheless, not every Catholic marriage is valid. In order to verify the authenticity of a marriage, upon request of the interested person, the judiciary power of the Church initiates a matrimonial nullity process in which the ecclesiastic judges examine the conjugal history of the couple. After several phases, a final sentence is homologated and if the matrimonial nullity is granted, the churchgoer is deemed enabled to remarry. Such Church procedure is little known among the churchgoers. There were ten research collaborators, five men and five women, who began the matrimonial nullity process. They were awarded the final sentence and have already remarried. The data collection was acquired through personal interviews, recorded and entirely transcribed, and from observations registered within the collaborators households, which were noted in a field diary. The project aimed to comprehend the motivation of the people requesting the religious matrimonial nullity through the Ecclesiastic Tribunal, how they found out the possibility of such process, and the reasons for pursuing it. In addition, this project sought to investigate details on how the first marriage happened, the meaning allotted to the marital separation, how the new union is lived as a family life after the new union, and the influence that the Church has in this new union. The analysis of these data was qualitative as it is supported by theoretical references of Psychology, Anthropology, and Canonized Law. The data analysis indicates that since the beginning of the first union the relationship with the spouse was not profound. As a result, various difficulties began to add up including infidelity, which was appointed as one of the reasons for the separation. The collaborators described the period of separation and the matrimonial nullity process as painful, however the fact of having been able to marry in the Church again a right acquired with the declaration of the matrimonial nullity is perceived and appraised as a positive accomplishment, which contributes to the success of the current matrimony. Furthermore, the data interpretation also reveals that various jurisdictions of the Church can act in preventive works so that the pastoral, particularly the pre-marital counseling courses, offer an adequate foundation for the orientation of the betrothed.

This thesis proved, that in the Czechoslovakia they didn't negotiate about the Munich Accord only in the sixties and seventies, but also immediately after the beginning of the Second World War. The arguments for its nullity brought E. Beneš and his colleagues. In 1945 the Czechoslovak government delt with this problem by tranfering the German inhabitants. The Munich Accord appeared again in 1967, when Czechoslovakia wanted to cooperate with Federal republic of Germany within the Ostpolitik. Finally, the problem was definitely solved in 1973, when both of the states signed and ratificated a Treaty on Bilateral Relations.

In light of women’s marginal status in church governance and ministry through most of recorded history, feminist trinitarian ecclesiology is needed to transform the church’s institutional and spiritual life. While Vatican II provided the paradigm shift and promising anthropology essential for an egalitarian church, feminist ecclesiology prompts a radical transformation of its hierarchical and patriarchal structures and practices so that it may truly embody the Trinity. Trinitarian life provides practical and radical consequences for Christian life, and provides a model of church marked by relationships of equality, mutuality, unity and reciprocity. It also provides a strong ecclesiological argument for reform of the juridical Catholic nullity of marriage process, which may pave a pathway for the civilly remarried to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist.

Given a simple graph G with vertex set V(G)={1,2,...,n} define S(G) to be the set of all real symmetric matrices A such that for all i not equal to j, the ijth entry of A is nonzero if and only if ij is in E(G). The range of the ranks of matrices in S(G) is of interest and can be determined by finding the minimum rank. The minimum rank of a graph, denoted mr(G), is the minimum rank achieved by a matrix in S(G). The maximum nullity of a graph, denoted M(G), is the maximum nullity achieved by a matrix in S(G). Note that mr(G)+M(G)=|V(G)| and so in finding the maximum nullity of a graph, the minimum rank of a graph is also determined. The minimum rank problem for a graph G asks us to determine mr(G) which in general is very difficult. A simple graph is planar if there exists a drawing of G in the plane such that any two line segments representing edges of G intersect only at a point which represents a vertex of G. A planar drawing partitions the rest of the plane into open regions called faces. A graph is outerplanar if there exists a planar drawing of G such that every vertex lies on the outer face. We consider the class of outerplanar graphs and summarize some of the recent results concerning the minimum rank problem for this class. The path cover number of a graph, denoted P(G), is the minimum number of vertex-disjoint paths needed to cover all the vertices of G. We show that for all outerplanar graphs G, P(G)is greater than or equal to M(G). We identify a subclass of outerplanar graphs, called partial 2-paths, for which P(G)=M(G). We give a different characterization for another subset of outerplanar graphs, unicyclic graphs, which determines whether M(G)=P(G) or M(G)=P(G)-1. We give an example of a 2-connected outerplanar graph for which P(G) ≥ M(G).A cover of a graph G is a collection of subgraphs of G such that the union of the edge sets of the subgraphs is equal to the E(G). The rank-sum of a cover C of G is denoted as rs(C) and is equal to the sum of the minimum ranks of the subgraphs in C. We show that for an outerplanar graph G, there exists an edge-disjoint cover of G consisting of cliques, stars, cycles, and double cycles such that the rank-sum of the cover is equal to the minimum rank of G. Using the fact that such a cover exists allows us to show that the minimum rank of a weighted outerplanar graph is equal to the minimum rank of its underlying simple graph.

La hiérarchie des normes est une notion commune du langage juridique. Les conventions, à l’instar de la Constitution à l’égard de la loi, peuvent-elle entretenir entre elles des relations hiérarchiques ? Trois éléments feraient obstacle à cette hypothèse. L’effet relatif des conventions, l’identité de nature juridique de ces actes et, enfin, le fait que les conventions ne soient pas des règles de Droit mais des actes d’exécution du droit.Lever un à un ces obstacles qui ne sont pas rédhibitoires et démontrer que le contrat est une règle de Droit, autorise alors à admettre théoriquement cette hypothèse. L’étude du droit positif permet ensuite de confirmer que des conventions peuvent entretenir des rapports hiérarchiques. Tel est le cas du contrat de société à l’égard des conventions de la société contractante ou bien encore du mandat à l’égard du contrat projeté.Il est alors possible d’étudier les conditions dans lesquelles un lien de nature hiérarchique peut apparaître. Les conditions préalables à cette mise en ordre supposent une pluralité d’actes et la nature conventionnelle de ceux-ci. Les « éléments constitutifs » du lien hiérarchique supposent eux que la convention qui occupe la place de norme supérieure soit impérative à l’égard des parties à la seconde convention / The hierarchy of norms is a common notion of juridical language. Can contracts, like the Constitution regarding law, organize into a hierarchy? Three elements would put an obstacle in the way of this assumption. The relative effect of contracts, the juridical identity of theses acts and, finally, the fact that contracts are not rules of law but acts of law enforcement.Raising these obstacles one by one, obstacles that are not totally unacceptable, and demonstrating that the contract is a rule of law, allows then to theoretically admit this possibility. The study of substantive law confirms afterwards that cont can be organized into a hierarchy. This is the case of the society contract regarding the conventions of the contracting society, and of the mandate with the contract that is planned.It is then possible to study the conditions under which a hierarchical link can appear. The prerequisites for this hierarchical organization require a plurality of acts and their contractual nature. The "making up elements" of the hierarchical link are based on the assumption that the contract that holds the higher norm is with regard to the parties of the second contract

"Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures en vue de l'obtention du grade de maîtrise en droit (LL.M.)" / La question à laquelle ce travail tente de répondre est la suivante: l'intérêt d'assurance doit-il être considéré comme un élément constitutif de la déclaration initiale du risque en assurance de dommages? Notre hypothèse de travail dans ce contexte est que l'intérêt doit être déclaré dans la mesure où il constitue un risque moral. Afin de soutenir notre argumentation, nous avons divisé notre étude en deux parties. Premièrement, nous avons examiné toutes les facettes de l'intérêt d'assurance. Tout d'abord son historique, ensuite sa définition et enfin l'interprétation qu'en ont donnée les tribunaux au fil des ans. Puis, nous avons fait de même avec la notion de déclaration initiale de risque. Plus particulièrement, nous avons examiné les conséquences d'une brèche à l'obligation de l'assuré à l'étape de la formation du contrat. Les conclusions que nous avons tirées de cette analyse sont les suivantes: 1. Il existe toujours un questionnement quant au moment précis où l'assuré doit remplir son obligation de détenir un intérêt d'assurance. L'intérêt d'assurance pourrait être examiné uniquement à l'arrivée du sinistre, alors que la déclaration initiale de risque doit être examinée au moment de la souscription de l'assurance; 2. Les différents intérêts qu'une personne peut avoir dans un bien n'influent pas directement sur le risque assurable, contrairement à la déclaration initiale qui sert justement à circonscrire le risque. Cette conclusion est par ailleurs conforme à l'historique de l'exigence de l'intérêt lui-même, quoique certains jugements affirment le contraire; 3. L'intérêt d'assurance peut être modifié en cours de contrat sans entacher la validité du contrat alors que la déclaration initiale de risque ne peut être modifiée sans encourir le risque de voir la prime d'assurance augmentée ou le risque d'assurance refusé: 4. Par contre, l'intérêt particulier qu'une personne détient dans une chose peut constituer un risque subjectif accru pour l'assureur dans certaines circonstances. / This work tries to answer one question: should the insurable interest be an element of the initial declaration of risk? Our main hypothesis is to prove that the interest must be declared when it constitutes a moral risk. To support our opinion, we divided our argument in two parts. The first one is dedicated to the insurable interest : its definition, its history and its interpretation given by the court through the years. ln the second part, we discuss the representation of risk. Particularly, we examine the consequences of a breach in the insured's obligation to divulgate ail the pertinent information to the insurer. Our conclusions are the following : 1. An interrogation still exists concerning the insured's obligation of having an insurable interest at the moment of the loss or also at the signing of the contract. Some authors consider that the insurable interest has to exist only at the loss; 2. The different interest which a person can have should not influence directly the risk, contrarily to the initial declaration which is used to identify and Iimit the risk. This conclusion is conform to the historie background of the insurable interest; 3. The insurable interest can be modify without changing the validity of the contract. On the contrary, the initial declaration of risk can not be modified without a raise in the premium or a refusaI; 4. The particular interest detained by an individual can constitute an increased subjective risk for the insurer in certain circumstances.

D’une nature juridique que le droit français peine à mettre en valeur, la procédure de consultation constitue une règle atypique qui, plutôt que de constituer une contrainte à l’exercice du pouvoir, doit être perçue comme proposant un modèle aux manifestations du pouvoir de direction de l’employeur. Là où la règle de droit tutélaire interdit à l’employeur de faire, ou, lui dicte une stricte ligne de conduite afin de protéger les destinataires de sa décision, la règle de procédure dresse un processus, un cheminement vers l’obtention d’une décision dont le contenu a fait l’objet d’une concertation avec ses destinataires. La règle de procédure borne le pouvoir de l’employeur sans le brimer. Et, elle intègre ses destinataires dans le processus d’élaboration de la décision patronale qu’ils ont vocation à subir.La diversité des manifestations du pouvoir de l’employeur rend complexe sa définition. La procédure de consultation se perçoit alors comme un outil d’analyse du pouvoir, permettant de le sonder. De la fonction empirique de la règle de procédure ressortent deux catégories juridiques de procédures de consultation : les consultations « sur un projet de décision » et les consultations « sur une politique générale ».Toutes deux bénéficient d’exigences procédurales communes : information précise et écrite, délai d’examen suffisant, réponse motivée de l’employeur aux observations, remise de l’avis, et suite à donner à l’avis. Le schéma de ces exigences procédurales est tourné vers la transformation de l’information en un savoir mobilisable lors d’un échange avec l’employeur sur la pertinence d’un projet de décision ou de stratégies, de politiques de gouvernance. Au terme de cet échange, le comité d’entreprise pourra exprimer un avis selon l’intensité requise par le code du travail : un « avis motivé ».Au-delà de l’aspect pratique que présente la catégorisation opérée, il nous semble que son principal critère de distinction, l’objet du pouvoir appréhendé par la procédure, commande le régime de la sanction civile de leur transgression. Consultations « sur une politique générale » et Consultations « sur un projet de décision » ne peuvent recevoir un traitement uniforme. La particularité de l’objet appréhendé dans certaines décisions ou savoirs par la procédure, a justifié une intervention du législateur, celui-ci décrivant avec plus de précisions les exigences procédurales (on pense notamment aux délais plus longs, à l’intervention de commissions). Autrement dit, elles ne sont pas appréhendées de manière uniforme par le code du travail, comme le laisserait présager la description générale des modalités procédurales opérées par les articles L. 2323-2 à L. 2323-4 C.T. Certains objets plus que d’autres sont aménagés de manière spécifique. Il existerait ainsi une hiérarchie des décisions et savoirs de l’employeur qui serait fonction de la spécialisation de leur régime dans le code du travail (licenciements économiques, transferts d’entreprise, modifications de la structure économique/juridique, etc.). Elle pourrait faire l’objet d’une étude spécifique.La catégorisation proposée induit un parti pris quant à leur hiérarchie. Les consultations « sur un projet de décision », qui captent l’exercice le plus autoritaire du pouvoir, doivent être assorties la sanction la plus stricte. La nullité s’impose comme la sanction adéquate. Elle ne pourra être invoquée que plus rarement dans le cadre de la transgression des règles de consultation « sur une politique générale ». / Literally translated as “enterprise committee”, the French “Comité d’entreprise” (“Works Council” in the UK) owns specific abilities in regard to employer initiatives concerning especially the organization and management of the enterprise: its consultative competence. Rather than a constraint on the exercise of power, the consultation process must be seen as offering a model for demonstrations of the power of the employer. Where the “tutelary law” prohibits employers to do, or dictate a strict course of action, the procedural rule provides a process, a path to obtain a decision whose content has been discussed with its recipients, the workers. The procedural rules limit the power of the employer without bullying it.The consultation process can also be perceived as a category of analysis, a tool for describing the various ways in which managerial prerogatives are exercised by the employer. Thereby, two legal categories of procedures for consultation are emerging: consultations "on a draft decision" and consultations "on policy." Consultations "on a draft decision," which capture the most authoritarian exercise of power, must be accompanied by strict enforcement. The invalidity of the decision seems to be the appropriate sanction.

The registered capital and contributions by the company members at the stage of forming and incorporating a capital company In my thesis I deal with the issues of the registered capital and company members' contributions at the stage of forming and incorporating a capital company. The subject is compared with European and German legislation and the proposal of the new civil code and the legislation of the trading companies and cooperatives is also considered in connection with the ongoing re-codification of the private law. According to the title of the thesis the subject is limited to the stage of forming and incorporating the company. Therefore the terms of the increase and decrease of the registered capital are not included in the thesis. At first I deal with the explanation of the term of trading companies and their division into personal and capital companies. This part contains an interesting comparison of legislation concerning partnership limited by shares in the Federal Republic of Germany, not being included in the Czech legislation. According to my opinion the re-establishment of such limited partnership would be practically positive because of the possibility of the stock brokerage. This would lead to the higher number of companies, which can be established according to the Czech...

It considered that in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Dominican Republic, for concordat force among the State and the Church, the religious celebration of the marriage and the nullity declaration dictated by the Ecclesiastical Tribunal have civil effects once assisted the determination in the law. It presented proposal so that in Brazil, as well as the married couple can attribute civil effects to the religious celebration of the marriage proceeding to the previous or posterior recording of the celebration before the civil official registration, and having certification of inexistence of impediments to request the registration in the occupation of the Civil registration of the Natural People so that the religious marriage has civil effects, there also be, legal disposition that checks civil effects to the declaration of nullity of those marriages when dictated by the Ecclesiastical Tribunal / Analisou no presente estudo a declaração de nulidade matrimonial no Direito Canônico e no Direito Civil, a luz do Código de Direito Canônico de1983, e do Código Civil brasileiro que entrou em vigência em 10 de janeiro de 2003, apresentando preliminarmente as propriedade essenciais do matrimônio, conceito, os motivos ensejadores da nulidade matrimonial nessas duas legislações; ao final tratou dos efeitos e do procedimento para obtenção da declaração de nulidade no Direito Canônico. Considerou que na Espanha, Itália, Portugal e República Dominicana, por força de concordata firmada entre o Estado e a Igreja, a celebração religiosa do matrimônio e a declaração de nulidade ditada pelo Tribunal Eclesiástico tem efeitos civil uma vez atendido o disposto na lei. Apresentou proposta para que no Brasil, assim como os nubentes podem atribuir efeitos civis à celebração religiosa do casamento uma vez procedendo à habilitação previa ou posterior à celebração perante o oficial do registro civil, e havendo certificação de inexistência de impedimentos requerer a inscrição no ofício do Registro Civil das Pessoas Naturais para que o casamento religioso tenha efeitos civis, haja também, disposição legal que confira efeitos civis à declaração de nulidade desses casamentos quando ditadas pelo Tribunal Eclesiástico

In view of that, we shall do a historical introduction to tax as an instrument of power and its interaction with the State; we shall highlight the constitutional principles importance as essential guarantees to be followed at a Democratic Constitutional State; shall emphasize the enlargement of the due process of law and highlight our tax ruling and assessment act conceptions. We support the thesis that without the due process of law tax power cannot be balanced provided that in a statutory law system, the constitutional guarantees are the main compass of justice sense. Moreover, we understand that disrespecting the enjoyment of the due process of law, whether if in its material or procedural sphere, would lead up to the nullity of tax exigency interposed at the Federal Government Collectible Debt as a severe offense to the 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution / O presente trabalho tem por escopo trazer a lume a efetividade da garantia fundamental do devido processo legal na aplicação do Direito Tributário, como condição indispensável à possibilidade de exigência de valor a título de tributo forçadamente pelo Estado. Para tanto, fazemos, em suma, uma introdução histórica do tributo como instrumento de poder e sua relação com o Estado; realçamos a importância dos princípios constitucionais como garantias primordiais a serem obedecidas no Estado Democrático de Direito; ressaltamos a amplitude da garantia do devido processo legal; e salientamos nossa concepção de norma jurídica tributária e de ato de lançamento. Defendemos a tese de que, sem obediência ao devido processo legal, inexiste equilíbrio necessário do poder tributário ´, uma vez que, num sistema de direito positivo, as garantias constitucionais são a bússola central do sentimento de justiça. Mais do que isso, sustentamos que o desrespeito à fruição do devido processo legal, seja na faceta material ou processual, acarreta na nulidade de exigência tributária permeada na Dívida Ativa do Estado, por grave ofensa à Constituição Federal de 1988
