The doctrine of the “right to be forgotten” from the perspective of relationship between citizens

O direito ao esquecimento vem sendo difundido no Brasil, especialmente após dois recentes julgamentos pelo Superior Tribunal de justiça (STJ), sendo que um deles possui conteúdo de repercussão geral e aguarda pronunciamento do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). Todavia, a matéria em questão ainda não conta com legislação específica, mesmo tendo origens da década de 1930. Por meio do presente artigo pretende-se fazer um breve histórico sobre o direito ao esquecimento e os seus precedentes nos Estados Unidos e na Europa, para, logo após, adentra- -se nos julgados nacionais e no conflito de princípios constitucionais invocados pelas partes e pelos julgadores. Na parte final, o objetivo é trazer ensinamentos de doutrinadores como Jürgen Habermas e Robert Alexy sobre o tema, em especial sobre a autonomia e o princípio da igualdade.The right to be forgotten has been widespread in Brazil, especially after two recent judgments by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), one of which has general repercussions content and is awaiting pronouncement of the Supreme Court (STF). However, this subject does not have a specific legislation, even though the origins in the 1930s. Through this article is intended to make a brief background on the right to be forgotten and their precedents in the United States and Europe, as soon after, enters on national and judged the conflict of constitutional principles invoked and judges. In the final part, the goal is to bring scholars of Jürgen Habermas and Robert Alexy on the subject, in particular the autonomy and the principle of equality

Symmetry and order parameter dynamics of the human odometer

Bipedal gaits have been classified on the basis of the group symmetry of the minimal network of identical differential equations (alias cells) required to model them. Primary bipedal gaits (e.g., walk, run) are characterized by dihedral symmetry, whereas secondary bipedal gaits (e.g., gallop-walk, gallop- run) are characterized by a lower, cyclic symmetry. This fact has been used in tests of human odometry (e.g., Turvey et al. in P Roy Soc Lond B Biol 276:4309–4314, 2009, J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 38:1014–1025, 2012). Results suggest that when distance is measured and reported by gaits from the same symmetry class, primary and secondary gaits are comparable. Switching symmetry classes at report compresses (primary to secondary) or inflates (secondary to primary) measured distance, with the compression and inflation equal in magnitude. The present research (a) extends these findings from overground locomotion to treadmill locomotion and (b) assesses a dynamics of sequentially coupled measure and report phases, with relative velocity as an order parameter, or equilibrium state, and difference in symmetry class as an imperfection parameter, or detuning, of those dynamics. The results suggest that the symmetries and dynamics of distance measurement by the human odometer are the same whether the odometer is in motion relative to a stationary ground or stationary relative to a moving ground

Rotational Invariants and Dynamic Touch

Skilled users of a long-cane are quite fluid in registering the layout of surfaces that surround them. What they need to know, of course, concerns properties with consequences for behavior—whether the ground is sufficiently flat and solid to be negotiated safely, whether discontinuities in that ground surface are gaps that can be stepped over or brinks that must be descended. At first blush, this skill may seem like a remarkable cognitive achievement, one in which the unsighted individual has managed to associate tactile impressions with some basic spatial elements, perhaps plugging them into modified variants of the inferential algorithms presumed to serve vision. Such a characterization, however, ignores the fundamental informativeness of the haptic perceptual system in its own right. The skillful use of a long-cane is possible because the properties registered through touch are lawful and reliable. Wielding the cane and using it to strike and probe surfaces deforms the tissues of the hand, arm, and body. Despite moment to moment, incidental variation in the impressions on the skin, we argue that there must be reliable structure in the deforming tissue that informs about not only the probed surfaces but about the probe itself. The commonality between perceiving probes and perceiving by means of probes—more generally, between perceiving objects and perceiving by means of objects—reinforces the anchoring of wha

Movement Sequencing and Phonological Fluency in (Putatively) Nonimpaired Readers

Reading-disabled children often have accompanying defi-cits in motor coordination. Rather than assuming impairment of a shared neural mechanism, we conjecture that coordination difficulties that undermine normal speech would also undermine development of phonological awareness, which is necessary for reading fluency. Non-impaired readers who vary in fluency, therefore, should also covary in coordination. Reliable interrelationships between phonological de-coding skills and the speed and variability of sequentially tapping the fingers of one hand (either dominant or nondominant) were, indeed, found for college undergraduates. Reading measures that do not empha-size phonological decoding did not show the same connection. Charac-terizing phonological decoding as a skill and the long-term consequences of failure to master that skill suggest that it could benefit from practice even in high-literacy populations. Although reading seems like a quintessentially cognitive activity, the constellation of tasks that impaired readers do or do not find trou-blesome belies that intuition. Metacognitive tasks are a problem for impaired readers only when linguistic segments are the focus (Fowler, 1991). Indeed, the specific designation “reading disabled ” applies to in-dividuals who have poor reading skills compared with others of similar general intelligence. Perhaps surprisingly, however, reading-disabled children often have accompanying deficits in motor coordination. Com-pared with age-matched control children, dyslexics are slower, more variable, or more prone to errors in a variety of manual coordination
