“Desde que começa a ação da justiça, cessa a ação da polícia”: as reformas da justiça criminal no Brasil do século XIX by Thiago Pinheiro Corrêa, Nefi Cordeiro

“…Investiga as razões que levaram às sucessivas reformas por meio de revisão bibliográfica e consulta aos debates parlamentares da época. Defende, nesse contexto, que, para além do estabelecimento de procedimentos judiciários, as reformas veicularam concepções de justiça criminal distintas, e analisa como, e em que medida, o Código de Processo Criminal de 1832, a Lei de 3 de dezembro de 1841 e a Lei n. 2.033 de 1871 regularam as relações recíprocas entre a polícia e o Poder Judiciário, com especial destaque para a criação do inquérito policial e das consequências processuais advindas desse instrumento.…”

Survey on network system security metrics by Chensi WU, Weiqiang XIE, Yixiao JI, Su YANG, Ziyi JIA, Song ZHAO, Yuqing ZHANG

“…With the improvement for comprehensive and objective understanding of the network system,the research and application of network system security metrics (NSSM) are noticed more.The quantitative evaluation of network system security is developing towards precision and objectification.NSSM can provide the objective and scientific basis for the confrontation of attack-defense and decision of emergency response.The global metrics of network system security is a crucial point in the field of security metrics.From the perspective of global metrics,the status and role of global metrics in security evaluation were pointed out.Three development stages of metrics (perceiving,cognizing and deepening) and their characteristics were analyzed and summarized.The process of global metrics was described.The metrics models,metrics systems and metrics tools were analyzed,and their functions,interrelations,and features in security metrics were pointed out.Then the technical challenges of global metrics of network systems were explained in detail,and ten opportunities and challenges were summarized in tabular form.Finally,the next direction and development trend of network system security metrics research were forecasted.The survey shows that NSSM has a good application prospect in network security.…”

Fuzzy evaluation for response effectiveness in cases of incomplete information by Fenghua LI, Yongjun LI, Zhengkun YANG, Han ZHANG, Lingcui ZHANG

“…,missing elements of judgment matrix and missing data of indicators) and the response effectiveness was evaluate.Firstly,a hierarchical indicator tree was design to characterize the effectiveness from the perspectives of both attack and defense.Then,the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) was used to calculate the comprehensive weight of each indicator.Finally,the response effectiveness was calculated using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation.In particular,to deal with the problem of incompleteness of fuzzy judgment matrix in the process of FAHP,the missing elements were completed based on the transitivity of elements.And to deal with the problem of loss data in the comprehensive evaluation,the missing data was completed based on matrix completion.The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can accurately recover the missing data and can effectively evaluate the effectiveness of response.…”

Los Santos en el Teatro de Lope y el Mundo Laboral by Josep Lluís Sirera

“…Concrètement, cet état de conflit était dû non pas tant au traitement marginal (ou plutôt, informel) des classes laborieuses dans le théâtre hagiographique, qu’à la défense de modèles de vie dans lesquels le travail n’était plus érigé comme la seule voie valable pour les nécessiteux, auxquels on offrait, en échange, une charité aveugle et illimitée pratiquée non seulement par les classes dirigeantes, qui trouvaient là une justification sociale à leur existence, mais aussi par les classes laborieuses elles-mêmes que l’on exhortait à l’exercice de la charité aux dépens de leurs propres intérêts.…”
