A pesquisa que ensejou na publicação do presente livro buscou auferir a contribuição (ou não) do art. 489, §1o, para a efetividade dos direitos da personalidade no âmbito judicial após o CPC/2015, bem como a análise sobre a redução (ou não) da insegurança jurídica e, por reflexo, se diminuída em virtude da maior transparência e democratização do conhecimento das partes sobre a racionalidade dos mandamentos judiciais. Nesse contexto, indagou-se: com algumas delimitações do que vem a ser uma decisão não fundamentada, os comandos judiciais ficaram mais justificados, transparentes e coerentes? Foram proferidas decisões justas, em que não foram enfrentados somente os ponto...
O objetivo da presente obra é oferecer um conjunto de reflexões sobre o admirável mundo novo em que estamos vivendo e os impactos provocados na garantia dos direitos fundamentais, os quais ainda constituem uma barreira para o potencial inesgotável dos avanços tecnológicos, os quais, sem os cuidados necessários, podem tornar os seres humanos elementos secundários de toda uma nova dinâmica social, expressão que usamos na falta de uma outra que dê conta do atual movimento histórico criado pelo homem mas que possui grande potencial de subtraí-lo da condição de protagonista. Ora, caso os avanços tecnológicos não estejam a serviço dos seres humanos, por meio da criação de condições cada vez mais facilitadoras da libertação dos obstáculos ao desenvolvimento existencial com dignidade, tanto mais os exponenciais avanços tecnológicos serão opressores, expressados muito comumente pela obtenção sem controle de dados pessoais dos indivíduos, sem contar com as grandes transformações que acarretam no mercado de trabalho, eliminando da inclusão social milhares de pessoas que não conseguem acompanhar as rápidas mudanças em todas as esferas da engenharia social.
A series of interviews with the Chilean author.
We investigate how corporate stock returns respond to geopolitical risk in the case of South Korea, which has experienced large and unpredictable geopolitical swings that originate from North Korea. To do so, a monthly index of geopolitical risk from North Korea (the GPRNK index) is constructed using automated keyword searches in South Korean media. The GPRNK index, designed to capture both upside and downside risk, corroborates that geopolitical risk sharply increases with the occurrence of nuclear tests, missile launches, or military confrontations, and decreases significantly around the times of summit meetings or multilateral talks. Using firm-level data, we find that heightened geopolitical risk reduces stock returns, and that the reductions in stock returns are greater especially for large firms, firms with a higher share of domestic investors, and for firms with a higher ratio of fixed assets to total assets. These results suggest that international portfolio diversification and investment irreversibility are important channels through which geopolitical risk affects stock returns.

Social entrepreneurship is one of the most controversial actualities of the modern economy. On the one hand, social entrepreneurship makes up for "market failures" and prevents the deficit of socially essential goods and services in the marketplace, acting as their supplier. On the other hand, the survival of social entrepreneurship in an aggressive market environment is a challenging task, the fulfilment of which may distort the original essence of social entrepreneurship. Comprising a collection of research presented at the International Scientific Conference Advanced Issues on Social Entrepreneurship, this contributed volume offers a global economic analysis of social entrepreneurship.
