Acesso à Justiça

  • Categories: Law

O contencioso no Brasil afigura-se cada vez como um gigante que é retroalimentado pelas novas demandas que surgem em virtude de uma cultura de litigiosidade arraigada na sociedade como um todo. O conflito é parte do cotidiano e deve ser considerado não como algo negativo, mas como instrumento para aperfeiçoar as relações interpessoais. É com este objetivo que a presente obra foi organizada, como ferramenta para a construção de uma cultura de pacificação, na busca por uma ordem jurídica justa. O acesso à justiça foi analisado sob uma perspectiva multidisciplinar, visando tanto a prevenção como a solução do conflito, e buscando fomentar novas reflexões na busca por mecanismo...

Direito Transnacional, Globalização e Sustentabilidade na Amazônia

Nos dias atuais, ao abrir qualquer canal de informação, deparamo-nos com notícias sobre a Amazônia. As notícias repetem, à exaustão, a imprescindibilidade da preservação do meio ambiente para a qualidade de vida da humanidade e, até mesmo, em uma projeção temporal não muito distante, para a viabilidade do próprio existir humano. Na avassaladora maioria das vezes, as notícias veiculadas, seja em jornais impressos, telejornais ou canais da internet, são ruins, catastróficas até. Vez ou outra, tem-se um sopro de esperança com informações mais favoráveis. Algo assim como: "O desmatamento diminuiu no governo x". Mas é preciso não perder o senso crítico e saber que matéri...

Neurological, Psychiatric, and Developmental Disorders

Brain disordersâ€"neurological, psychiatric, and developmentalâ€"now affect at least 250 million people in the developing world, and this number is expected to rise as life expectancy increases. Yet public and private health systems in developing countries have paid relatively little attention to brain disorders. The negative attitudes, prejudice, and stigma that often surround many of these disorders have contributed to this neglect. Lacking proper diagnosis and treatment, millions of individual lives are lost to disability and death. Such conditions exact both personal and economic costs on families, communities, and nations. The report describes the causes and risk factors associated with brain disorders. It focuses on six representative brain disorders that are prevalent in developing countries: developmental disabilities, epilepsy, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and stroke. The report makes detailed recommendations of ways to reduce the toll exacted by these six disorders. In broader strokes, the report also proposes six major strategies toward reducing the overall burden of brain disorders in the developing world.

The Italian Gothic horror genre underwent many changes in the 1980s, with masters such as Mario Bava and Riccardo Freda dying or retiring and young filmmakers such as Lamberto Bava (Macabro, Demons) and Michele Soavi (The Church) surfacing. Horror films proved commercially successful in the first half of the decade thanks to Dario Argento (both as director and producer) and Lucio Fulci, but the rise of made-for-TV products has resulted in the gradual disappearance of genre products from the big screen. This book examines all the Italian Gothic films of the 1980s. It includes previously unpublished trivia and production data taken from official archive papers, original scripts and interviews with filmmakers, actors and scriptwriters. The entries include a complete cast and crew list, plot summary, production history and analysis. Two appendices list direct-to-video releases and made-for-TV films.

The "Gothic" style was a key trend in Italian cinema of the 1950s and 1960s because of its peculiar, often strikingly original approach to the horror genre. These films portrayed Gothic staples in a stylish and idiosyncratic way, and took a daring approach to the supernatural and to eroticism, with the presence of menacing yet seductive female witches, vampires and ghosts. Thanks to such filmmakers as Mario Bava (Black Sunday), Riccardo Freda (The Horrible Dr. Hichcock), and Antonio Margheriti (Castle of Blood), as well the iconic presence of actress Barbara Steele, Italian Gothic horror went overseas and reached cult status. The book examines the Italian Gothic horror of the period, with an abundance of previously unpublished production information drawn from official papers and original scripts. Entries include a complete cast and crew list, home video releases, plot summary and the author's analysis. Excerpts from interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors are included. The foreword is by film director and scriptwriter Ernesto Gastaldi.

From the entry of the Germans into Turin on September 10, 1943 to the liberation of the city on April 28, 1945, Ada Gobetti, translator, educator, and resistance activist, recorded an almost daily account of her life in the resistance movement against the fascist government and the Nazis. Part diary, part memoir, Gobetti's Diario partigiano (Partisan diary) provides a firsthand account of who the anti-fascist partisans in the Piedmont region of Italy were and how they fought.
