Esse artigo é um estudo de origem social e da trajetória profissional das oficiais policiais militares femininas e seu pioneirismo na profissão. Optou-se pela abordagem qualitativa de modo a identificar padrões socioculturais e o saber adquirido pela vivência, além das estratégias de sobrevivência, afirmação e autoproteção na carreira policial. Ouvindo seus relatos, percebe-se a herança identificadora da instituição pelas agentes, que mesmo na reserva preservam o habitus adquirido ao vestir a farda. Percebeu-se que as policiais sofrem violência quando são estigmatizadas como minoria, que seu trabalho é relegado à esfera administrativa, não havendo reconhecimento de suas habilidades, além ser percebido haver preconceito e discriminação pelas cotas de inserção e distribuição de cargos.

Surrogacy is the arrangement made by at least three people, in order for a surrogate or gestational mother to carry a pregnancy for the two intended parents, with the objective of the former party relinquishing all rights to the child, once the child is born. As it has only been in recent years that that same reproductive method has begun to be commonly accepted due to certain modern scientific developments that thus diminished ethical and moral negative stances, there is still an unsettling legal void (both at a national and international level) in regards to such subsidiary form of reproduction. As such, some countries have not only left their citizens with no choice but to travel abroad in order to enter a surrogacy arrangement (leading to private international law issues on establishing parenthood and nationality of the born child) or to resort to surrogacy within black market conditions. Unfortunately, one of those countries is Portugal as it has been considered, both by its political parties and experts in the area, and by its citizens as not dealing adequately with such theme and thus being poorly equipped to deal with surrogacy, at both a legal and social level. The present paper attempts to analyse Portugal's current legal perspective by looking at the present efforts being made to contradict the current situation, and thus outline altruistic gestational surrogacy's tangible future within such nation. In order to also become aware of possible improvements specifically regarding to the full protection of human rights and human dignity as a whole, the United Kingdom's legal standpoint in relation to surrogacy was also studied. Via direct comparison of both social and legal perspectives, a new approach to altruistic surrogacy is thus proposed with view to suggest a harmonious solution for countries that have at least recognized that the present issue deserves to be duly noticed and that altruistic gestational surrogacy may exist in order to grant protection of human dignity and not to place it in check. ; A gestação por substituição é um acordo celebrado por pelo menos três pessoas, para que a mãe de substituição ou gestacional possa levar a termo uma gravidez e dar à luz a uma criança que será entregue a outros que serão considerados os pais sociais e legais da criança. No entanto, tal método de reprodução apenas começou a ser aceite recentemente devido a desenvolvimentos científicos e tecnológicos modernos que possibilitaram a redução de problemas éticos e morais que desde outrora assombravam o crescimento e reconhecimento deste método subsidiário de reprodução. Consequentemente, existe ainda inquietantes lacunas legais no que toca à regulamentação cuidada, tanto a nível nacional como internacional, da gestação por substituição. Assim, certos países têm indiretamente forçado os seus cidadãos a procurar celebrar tais acordos no estrangeiro (gerando dessa forma problemas a nível de direito privado internacional no que toca ao reconhecimento da parentalidade e da nacionalidade da criança) ou até a sucumbir à gestação por substituição do mercado negro. Infelizmente, Portugal é um desses países, que tem até sido considerado tanto por partidos políticos, peritos na matéria como por os seus próprios cidadãos como um pais que não tem lidado de forma adequada com a temática em apreço- podendo até, por vezes, ser considerado como inapto para lidar presentemente, no âmbito social e legal, com a gestação por substituição. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a análise da posição legal de Portugal, tendo em conta os esforços que têm sido feitos de forma a contrariar o vazio legal existente, de forma a delinear o futuro possível da gestação por substituição altruísta, no nosso país. De forma a colocar ênfase nas melhorias possíveis, tendo em conta especificamente a total proteção dos direitos humanos relevantes para este efeito e ainda a dignidade humana como um todo, foi também estudado o regime em vigor no Reino Unido. Através de uma comparação direta de ambas as perspetivas sociais e legais, é sugerida uma nova abordagem à problemática em questão com vista a propor uma solução harmoniosa para países que tenham pelo menos reconhecido a necessidade de reconhecer a importância da legalização formal da gestação por substituição altruísta pois tal facto é passível de garantir a proteção da dignidade humana, ao invés do que sido frequentemente argumentado.

Der Autor analysiert Entwicklungsstrategien und Entwicklungspolitiken Guinea-Bissaus im Hinblick auf Kooperation mit dem Ausland, etwa im Rahmen von Strukturanpassungsprogrammen. Dabei unterscheidet er die Perioden 1974-83 und 1983-91. Während in der ersten Phase staatliche Lenkung ein zentrales Element war, würde die zweite von dem Zwang zur ökonomischen Liberalisierung bestimmt. (DÜI-Kör)

The Quilombola communities are fighting hard for the right to their traditional territories. A struggle which started before the legal instruments that influence the debates about the rights of rural black communities in Brazil were established in 1988. The struggles of these communities are for land not as a market good, but for a territory in which their own expressions and perceptions of the world are rooted. This article is based on field research conducted with the Quilombola communities, in the municipality of Salvaterra, Island of Marajó, Brazil and describes how these communities define the appropriation of spaces such as land, forest, rivers and houses. It reveals that the Quilombola spaces are imbued with the symbolic expressions of these populations' ways of being and living.

"This book focuses on the conceptualization of the court, palace and ruler of the Umayyad Caliphate of al-Andalus. Western terminology still plays a normative role in the representation of foreign courts, determining concepts that fit poorly into chronologies with their own dynamics and specificities, which is the case of Muslim courts. While Court Studies is a well-developed field for modern Western societies, Muslim medieval courts lack a consistent field of research. Sources elaborate a specific terminology for medieval Muslim court societies. In the specific case of the Umayyad Caliphate of al-Andalus, the court is usually articulated as Bāb Suddat al-Khalīfa ("The door of the Sudda of the caliph") - a reference to the symbology of the main city gate of Cordoba - or simply as Bāb. Bāb Suddat al-Khalīfa became the most emblematic concept to name the Umayyad palace and its society, which will be additionally interpreted in the framework of the performance of ceremonial. The strong conceptualization of the Umayyad court of Cordoba was highlighted through the articulation of ceremonial, as the mis-en-scène of the conceptualization, expressed by gestures, insignia and hierarchies. The preliminary comparative perspective with the Umayyad Caliphate of Damascus, the 'Abbasid and Fatimid Caliphates, and the Byzantine Empire further discusses the Umayyad Andalusi model in relation to other dynasties. While the book focuses on the Umayyad conceptualization and articulation of ceremonial, this model will be discussed within the Mediterranean and Eastern framework of the tenth and 11th centuries, which broadens the interest of the book to other fields of research"--

In São Paulo during Brazil's post-dictatorship period, noise control became a recurrent controversy, and the ecological agenda against noise as a harmful pollutant has significantly reconfigured the presence of environmental sounds in the city. Sound-Politics in São Paulo argues that the framing of specific sounds as unavoidable, unnecessary, or as harmful "noise" has been an effective strategy to organize spaces and administer group behavior in this rapidly expanding city.
