Nesta edição, foram acolhidas as recentes alterações ao Código de Processo Penal que incidiram, designadamente, sobre o tratamento dado às vítimas de terrorismo e sobre o direito de nomeação de intérprete e de tradução de documentos essenciais para o exercício da defesa. Tivemos ainda em atenção o vasto leque de diplomas que atingiram o Código Penal, os quais se dedicaram, entre outros, ao reforço e proteção das vítimas de crimes contra a liberdade sexual. No plano da legislação extravagante conexa com o processo penal, destacamos a Lei no 18/2024, de 5 de fevereiro, que regula o acesso a metadados referentes a comunicações eletrónicas para fins de investigação criminal. Continuamos a valorar os contributos doutrinais e jurisprudenciais (nacionais e comunitários) sobre os temas retratados.
Leprosy (or Hansen’s disease) is a chronic infectious granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis that affects predominantly the skin and peripheral nerves. Leprosy is one of the oldest known illnesses of mankind; however, it is still one of the most neglected diseases worldwide, impacting more than 120 countries, mainly in underdeveloped settings. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for reducing the burden of this disease and avoiding long-term irreversible consequences such as deformities and mutilations. Thus, the World Health Organization has focused its efforts on preventive programs as well as the search for easy-to-handle diagnosis tools and the implementation of new strategies to improve the therapeutic options available.

INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE FOR INTRACELLULAR CHOLESTEROL TRAFFICKING This volume is an elaboration of an earlier small meeting held in St. Louis, Missouri. In April 1997, many of the authors met for a two-day meeting devoted entirely to intracellular cholesterol trafficking. The rationale for this meeting was that investigators interested in this topic worked in a variety of fields, and rarely, if ever, all met together. Everybody knew each other's papers but mostly worked in isolation from one another. Understanding of cholesterol trafficking also appeared to have reached the point where it would start to rapidly expand beyond these few laboratories. Understanding of cholesterol trafficking...
O pós-guerra alçou o Direito Internacional a um patamar jamais visto como balizador das relações da sociedade internacional e, além disso, como garantidor da existência de mundo. Dessa forma, nasce o Jus Cogens como valores superiores à vontade dos Estados. Qualquer violação a essas normas pode causar responsabilidade internacional do país violador. Entretanto, questiona-se: as Cortes Judiciais têm efetivamente punido os Estados violadores das normas imperativas? Dessa forma, é necessário analisar as decisões das Cortes Internacionais a respeito do tema. Para isso, é preciso, antes, versar sobre o Direito Internacional (conceito, fundamentos, sujeitos, meios de solução de conflitos), discutir a influência da globalização na sociedade internacional e na redefinição de soberania, elucidar o Jus Cogens e a responsabilidade internacional pela sua violação. Por fim, procurou-se avaliar as decisões judiciais da Corte Internacional de Justiça, da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos e do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, a partir da questão da violação de normas imperativas.
An emblematic story of the shipwreck of the Arab Spring At his father's funeral, to the great consternation of all present, Abdel Nasser beats the imam who is celebrating the funeral rite. The narrator, a childhood friend of the protagonist, retraces the story of "the Italian" from his days as a free and rebellious adolescent spirit to the leader of a student movement and then affirmed journalist. Those were crucial years in Tunisia, years of great tension, change, and repression. Against this background full of revolutionary ferments stands the tormented love story between Abdel Nasser and Zeina, a brilliant and beautiful philosophy student. Their dreams will unfortunately end up being wrecked under the ruthless gears of a corrupt and chauvinist society. Abdel Nasser's transformation from a young idealist with high hopes to a successful, but disillusioned and tired journalist is masterfully narrated in a stream of stories, digressions and flashbacks in which the narrative tension is always high. Winner of the 2015 International Prize for Arabic Fiction
This is a compilation of bibliographic (historical and descriptive) information for the minerals first described from Brazil; it includes both valid and invalid, discredited species, unnamed, unidentified, problematic minerals, and so on. This work brings together as much data as possible concerning type mineral species. It will save future researchers a lot of work because it contains data from many publications that are difficult to obtain.
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
