Uma das mais primordiais funções de uma constituição no sistema jurídico é operar como espaço normativo a partir do qual se disciplina a distribuição de poder como competência concreta. As cartas magnas teriam, assim, um papel de- terminante para viabilizar democracias através da estruturação de procedimentos, positivação de direitos e, sobretudo, por meio da imposição de limites ao exercício arbitrário da autoridade. A tarefa de dizer o que a constituição é acaba por se tornar o centro de interesses da hermenêutica constitucional. Como espaço de reflexão sobre o ato de interpretar e aplicar as normas fundamentais da república, a hermenêu...
This book analyzes different facets of anuran amphibian distribution in South America. We integrate alternative biological metrics employing cutting-edge methods to understand the dynamic processes underlying species distribution patterns. By using the modern biogeographic toolbox, we explore how richness gradients, phylogenetic diversity, functional diversity, and range size/endemism distribution of amphibians vary along the continent. Moreover, we present a robust proposal for priority areas for conservation of anurans in South America that maximizes representativeness of distinct biodiversity facets.
The authors argue that, for 25 years, the U.S. has experienced a great wave of prosperity as a result of supply-side economics, or Reaganomics. They caution that Americans risk losing their high standard of living if the policies of the past are reversed by a Democratic president.
O negócio jurídico processual é um instituto jurídico processual antigo, por muito tempo esquecido pela doutrina majoritária publicista brasileira, mas que ressurgiu, nos últimos anos, com o advento do Código de Processo Civil de 2015. No Direito Processual Tributário, apenas em 2018 houve a edição de algumas portarias pela Procuradoria Geral da Fazenda Nacional permitindo o seu uso em âmbito federal. Ademais, o livro busca trazer um olhar principiológico, especialmente com relação ao princípio da igualdade, mas sem esquecer os demais, com o objetivo de verificar de que forma deve ser a melhor aplicação desse instituto processual pelo Poder Judiciário, pelo Poder Legislativ...
Among contemporary Portuguese architects there is a large group whose members, while trained or influenced by Alvaro Siza, have embarked on an independent line of common research; one of these is Eduardo Souto de Moura (b.1952). This monograph presents the designer who has combined great attention to the 'principle of settlement' with a respect for local architecture, expressed through the use of natural materials. Souto de Moura transforms the figurative elements of classical architecture using a modern sensibility. A minimalist approach and the discreet use of local materials are the essential components of his activity. Among his best known projects: the Municipal Market in Braga (1980-84), the cultural centre for the S.E.C. at Oporto (1981-91), houses at Miramar (1987-91) and Alcanena (1987-92), the patio houses at Matosinhos (1993-99) and the Portuguese pavilion at the Hannover Expo 2000 with Siza (1999). Essays by the authors, along with an interview with Siza, Francisco Tàvora, and Souto de Moura himself, introduce the architect's work.
Governments must innovate if they are to be effective. In a world of change, a government that stands still will soon be overtaken by events and shifting citizen expectations. This report explores the past, present and possible future journey of the innovation system of the Brazilian public service.
This book represents the first comprehensive edition, in English, on the soils of Brazil, in the challenge of illustrating all the biomes of a country of truly continental dimension. In addition to presenting the first geosystemic view of Brazilian soils, in all geological, geomorphological and environmental aspects, the book also makes a key contribution to the discussion of current topics in Pedology, such as Anthrosols, Technosols, Soil Management trends and sustainability, Pedometrics and advanced techniques of digital soil mapping. The soils of Brazil were conveniently stratified into sectors and treated within the different biomes, without neglecting any area of the Brazilian territory...
