Princípio da proteção : questão de direito material?

Orientador: Célio Horst WaldraffMonografia (graduação) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Jurídicas, Curso de Graduação em DireitoResumo: A presente monografia é realizada com a finalidade de aprofundar a discussão sobre a existência e a aplicabilidade do princípio da proteção no âmbito do Direito Processual do Trabalho. A ideia deste princípio, considerando reitor de todo o ordenamento trabalhista, está relacionada à própria formação do Direito do Trabalho, que surgiu como reação aos efeitos provocados pelo liberalismo. Através da edição de normas protetivas ao hipossuficiente, buscou-se limitar a autonomia da vontade como forma de manter o capitalismo e de atenuar a exploração da força de trabalho humana. A desigualdade das partes dessa relação laboral transcende o plano das relações materiais de produção, refletindo diretamente no plano processual, de modo que o trabalhador, faticamente hipossuficiente, também o é no contexto da lide. Assim, a proteção também é necessária ao Processo do Trabalho, pois um processo desatento à realidade do direito material presta um desserviço a este, já que não fornece meios adequados à tutela dos direitos sociais fundamentai

Yield and grape quality of three red grapevine cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.) in relation to altimetry

Environment has a great impact on berry composition. In this context we investigated the quality of extremely widespread grape varieties in Sardinia, cvs. Cannonau, Bovale sardo and Monica, cultivated at different altitudes. The work was conducted in a two-year period in two vineyards located respectively at 500 and 700 meters above sea level. Viticultural model and cultivation practices were the same for both vineyards. The following measurements were noted: (i) main phenological phases, (ii) yield and its components, (iii) must quality from veraison to harvest, and (iv) anthocyanin qualitative profiles at harvest. At higher altitude the phenological phases are delayed. Yield was not statistically influenced by altitude. The ripening of the main technological parameters, although similar among the vineyards, suggests that the effects of the different altitude are clear, but they vary according to year and are cultivar dependent. In cv. Cannonau, higher altitude promoted higher total soluble solids. The extractable anthocyanins were not influenced by altitude, although in all tested varieties the higher altitude favored a decrease in the ratio between non-acylated and acylated anthocyanins

Distinctive anthocyanin accumulation responses to temperature and natural UV radiation of two field-grown (<i>Vitis vinifera</i> L.) cultivars

The responses of two red grape varieties, Bovale Grande (syn. Carignan) and Cannonau (syn. Grenache), to temperature and natural UV radiation were studied in a three-years field experiment conducted in Sardinia (Italy), under Mediterranean climate conditions. Vines were covered with plastic films with different transmittances to UV radiation and compared to uncovered controls. Light intensity and spectral composition at the fruit zone were monitored and berry skin temperature was recorded from veraison. Total skin anthocyanin content (TSA) and composition indicated positive but inconsistent effects of natural UV light. Elevated temperatures induced alterations to a greater extent, decreasing TSA and increasing the degree of derivatives acylation. In Cannonau total soluble solids increases were not followed by increasing TSA as in Bovale Grande, due to both lower phenolic potential and higher sensitivity to permanence of high temperatures. Multi linear regression analysis tested the effects of different ranges of temperature as source of variation on anthocyanin accumulation patterns. To estimate the thermal time for anthocyanin accumulation, the use of normal heat hours model had benefit from the addition of predictor variables that take into account the permanence of high (&gt;35 °C) and low (&lt;15 °C and &lt;17 °C) temperatures during ripening

A participação popular no processo de revisão do plano diretor de Palmas-TO: um ensaio à luz da teoria da ação comunicativa em Habermas

This article aimed to verify the real effectiveness of citizen participation during the process of drafting Complementary Law Nº 400, of April 2, 2018, which instituted the new urban plan for the city of Palmas-TO. The problem had been analyzed from the perspective of the Theory of Communicative Action in Habermas, based on the dialectical method. The research considerations hover over the urban plan supported by the law and doctrinal material, followed by an analysis of the relation between the democratic principle of citizen participation and the concept of communicative action. Finally, conclusions were made in the sense that it is not possible to affirm, at least from the perspective of communicative action, that there was effective citizen participation in the plan's revision process due to the set of controversies and devices that made it impossible to read the process under the Habermasian interpretative optics.O presente artigo teve como objetivo verificar a real efetividade da participação popular durante o processo de elaboração da Lei Complementar nº 400, de 2 de abril de 2018, que instituiu o novo plano diretor da cidade de Palmas-TO. A problemática fora analisada sob a perspectiva da Teoria da Ação Comunicativa em Habermas, tendo como base o método dialético. As considerações da pesquisa pairam sobre o plano diretor com arrimo na lei e em material doutrinário, seguidas de análise da relação entre o princípio democrático da participação popular e o conceito de ação comunicativa. Por fim, foram feitas conclusões no sentido de que não é possível afirmar, pelo menos sob a perspectiva da ação comunicativa, que houve efetiva participação popular no processo revisional do plano em razão do conjunto de controvérsias e artifícios que inviabilizaram a leitura do processo sob a ótica interpretativa habermasian

Correlation between isolated sonographic finding of umbilical cord cyst and fetal anomalies

OBJETIVO: Correlacionar o achado ultra-sonográfico isolado de cisto de cordão umbilical com anomalias fetais, como cromossomopatias e alterações estruturais. Segundo a literatura médica, as implicações clínicas do achado ultra-sonográfico de cisto de cordão nos segundo e terceiro trimestres de gestação estão bem estabelecidas, entretanto, quando no primeiro trimestre, o significado ainda permanece controverso. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foi realizado estudo retrospectivo de gestantes da população geral, consecutivas, com fetos únicos e vivos, que apresentavam apenas o achado de cisto de cordão umbilical, num período de dez anos (1996-2006). Em todos os casos foram realizados exames ultra-sonográficos para o rastreamento de anomalias fetais após o diagnóstico de cisto de cordão. Os recém-nascidos e o cordão umbilical foram examinados após o parto para se verificar a presença de anomalias. RESULTADOS: Foram estudados nove casos que apresentavam cisto de cordão umbilical como único achado, sem outros marcadores ultra-sonográficos de anomalias fetais. Detectaram-se dois casos no primeiro trimestre de gestação e sete nos segundo e terceiro trimestres. Dois casos foram submetidos a estudo citogenético fetal, por meio de amniocentese. Nenhum recém-nascido apresentou anomalias estruturais ou aneuploidia. CONCLUSÃO: O achado ultra-sonográfico isolado de cisto de cordão umbilical não significou aumento de risco para anomalias estruturais ou aneuploidias.OBJECTIVE: To correlate the isolated sonographic finding of umbilical cord cyst with fetal anomalies such as chromosomopathies and structural changes. According to the medical literature, the clinical implications of the sonographic finding of umbilical cord cyst in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy are well established; however, the meaning of this finding in the first trimester still remains controversial. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was developed with consecutive, pregnant women with single living fetuses presenting with umbilical cord cyst as an isolated finding, over a 10-year period (1996-2006). Ultrasound studies were performed in all cases for screening of fetal anomalies after the diagnosis of umbilical cord cyst. Neonates and umbilical cords were evaluated after delivery for the presence of abnormalities. RESULTS: Nine cases presenting umbilical cord cyst as a sole finding with no other sonographic marker for fetal abnormality were evaluated. Two cases were detected in the first pregnancy trimester and seven cases in the second and third trimesters. Fetal cytogenetic study was done by means of amniocentesis in two cases. No newborn presented with structural anomalies or aneuploidy. CONCLUSION: Isolated sonographic finding of umbilical cord cyst did not imply increased risk for fetal structural anomalies or aneuploidies

Clinical perspectives of PSMA PET/MRI for prostate cancer

Prostate cancer imaging has become an important diagnostic modality for tumor evaluation. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) has been extensively studied, and the results are robust and promising. The advent of the PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has added morphofunctional information from the standard of reference MRI to highly accurate molecular information from PET. Different PSMA ligands have been used for this purpose including 68gallium and 18fluorine-labeled PET probes, which have particular features including spatial resolution, imaging quality and tracer biodistribution. The use of PSMA PET imaging is well established for evaluating biochemical recurrence, even at low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, but has also shown interesting applications for tumor detection, primary staging, assessment of therapeutic responses and treatment planning. This review will outline the potential role of PSMA PET/MRI for the clinical assessment of PCa

Carnauba wax enhances the insecticidal activity of entomopathogenic fungi against the blowfly Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Abstract Blowfly, Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae), is a problematic synanthropic insect pest, a vector of microbial pathogens, and the causal agent of secondary myiasis. Fungal biopesticides are considered eco-friendly tools, alternative to synthetic pesticides, for the control of arthropod pests; however, to date, little is known about their bioactivity against blowflies. In this study, we assessed the insecticidal activity of three well-known entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana, Beauveria pseudobassiana and Akanthomyces muscarius against L. sericata. In addition, we tested powdered carnauba wax as an electrically charged dust carrier in an attempt to enhance the virulence of fungal spores. Pathogenicity tests on adult flies, by adult immersion in conidial suspension (108 conidia mL−1), showed that the median lethal time (LT50) was 5.3, 5.9, and 6.2 days for B. bassiana, A. muscarius and B. pseudobassiana, respectively. In topical tests, when 108 dry conidia were mixed with or without carnauba wax, the LT50 was 7.7, 10.2, and 14 days without this carrier and 6.9, 8.6, and 13.8 days with it for B. bassiana, B. pseudobassiana and A. muscarius, respectively. Overall, our findings showed that, among the tested fungi, B. bassiana was the most virulent when formulated as a dry powder with carnauba wax, which greatly improved fungal efficacy against the blowfly. We discuss the utility of carnauba wax for electrostatic formulation powder of fungal spores in the integrated management of blowflies as an environmentally sustainable tool to reduce the over-reliance on chemical insecticides and their risk of resistance
