Unnecessary Hysterectomy: The Lack of Informed Consent

Women, as well as men, are socialized to believe that the ethics and expertise of the medical community ensure competent behavior on the part of physicians. This belief, however, is misguided; the evidence indicates that women\u27s health care is grossly inadequate and in dire need of effective external control and regulation. The power necessary for such regulation may be found in the judiciary. Several courses are available to the legal practitioner when faced with claims of medical misconduct. But because profit motivation dominates the health field, the reality of malpractice suits and their accompanying awards may act as an effective means to monitor physician behavior. Although the medical abuses inflicted upon women are many, this Comment will deal specifically with unnecessary hysterectomies and the various tort actions available to the patient

Desarmonia planejada: uma análise da segunda instância de prisões preventivas por tráfico de entorpecentes no Distrito Federal com base na garantia da ordem pública

A prisão preventiva é medida cautelar excepcional que restringe a liberdade do indivíduo em um momento pré-processual. Dentre as fundamentações dessa prisão, a garantia da ordem pública é certamente a mais genérica, posto que não tem definição legal, tampouco pacificação na doutrina e jurisprudência. Em meio a uma política de guerra às drogas - em especial no contexto de pandemia de COVID-19 - faz-se necessário avaliar efetivamente quem está sendo preso preventivamente por entorpecentes no Distrito Federal, bem como sob qual razão. A investigação foi feita através de análise de acórdãos do Tribunal de Justiça do Distrito Federal sobre o objeto. Foi possível concluir que não há um perfil específico de traficante preso preventivamente a qual o tribunal mantém a aludida cautelar. Trata-se de mecanismo que dá aspecto de legalidade para as decisões de primeira instância, com uma presença ínfima de crítica e de reforma dessas decisões de primeiro grau

Early modern intertextuality: post structuralism, narrative systems, and 'A midsummer night's dream'

Central to both early modern critical study and the theory of intertextuality are concepts such as the plurality of discourse, the mutually informing relationship between cultural ideologies and texts, and the instability of texts. Following revised critical approaches, this essay argues that there is potential in the direct application and exploration of the theory of intertextuality in early modern literature, particularly in the sense of engagement with and the extensive refiguring of elements from available narrative systems including classical mythology, folklore, and contemporary continental writing through allegory, allusion and translation. Critical consideration of reading, creative imitation, and interpretative variety are central to both fields. This essay argues that these central aspects of early modern creative writing constitute a valid application of intertextual theory, which can be used to generate detailed and multilayered critical readings. It outlines an understanding of intertextuality, demonstrates how the theory is illustrated both in the period and in inherited classical textual theory, and offers a brief applied case study, reading Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1595) as an overtly intertextual text
