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.

Phytotherapy is probably the oldest form of medicine; however, it represents a new therapeutic tool for healthcare workers. Indeed plants are an infinite source of novel molecules, with countless possible combinations. This collection of articles (a Special Issue from Molecules) brings together the most up-to-date studies on the use of plant-derived compounds, ranging from their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects to the revision of the prominent literature.
O tema dos honorários assume uma importância nuclear na vida de um advogado. Matéria sensível no mosaico das normas de natureza deontológica da profissão, constitui, também, um momento delicado e fator de cada vez maior litigiosidade. O presente trabalho pretende ser um simples contributo para o estudo do tema dos honorários devidos ao advogado, resultando da experiência obtida pelo autor como relator-adjunto no Conselho Superior da Ordem dos Advogados desde o triénio 2014/2016. Sugere-se, na obra, um critério para a distinção entre trabalho intelectualmente complexo e o burocrático, atenta a mais recente orientação jurisprudencial das Relações e do Conselho Superior. De igual modo, o presente escrito ocupa-se do laudo de honorários, mecanismo pericial determinante para a qualificação e valorização dos serviços prestados pelo advogado à luz das normas estatutárias e regulamentares. Complementa-se este trabalho com excertos da legislação mais pertinente e minutas de solicitação de provisão e de conta de honorários.
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.
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 ...
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...
Sharp and tender at once, a humourous take on family dysfunction and human weakness seen through a young boy's eyes. Max lives with his grandparents in a residential home for refugees in Germany. When his grandmother—a terrifying, stubborn matriarch and a former Russian primadonna—moved them from the Motherland, it was in search of a better life. But she is not at all pleased with how things are run in Germany. His grandmother has been telling Max that he is an incompetent, clueless weakling since he was a child. While he may be dolt in his grandmother's eyes, Max is bright enough to notice that his stoic and taciturn grandfather has fallen hopelessly in love with their neighbour, Nina. When a child is born to Nina that is the spitting image of Max's grandfather, things come to a hilarious if dramatic head. Everybody will have to learn to defend themselves from Max's all-powerful grandmother.
