Sustainable procurement

The power of public and private consumption for an inclusive green economy

“It's a fight against time." That is how the book begins, presenting a historical background of how the topic of sustainable production and consumption was included in the global agenda and reached Brazil. It is clear in the work who and what the potential actors and instruments that interact for that purpose are. In a fun way, thematic infographics show the impact from consumption and production, inspired by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). In Chapters 2 and 3, readers will find inspiring examples of institutional procurement collected through exclusive interviews, news articles, corporate reports and scientific articles describing successful experiences in the public and private sectors, highlighting which institutions broke the resistance and became protagonists in the use of transformation potential through sustainable consumption and production. In Chapter 4, under a guidance perspective, two tools are recommended for continuously improving management of public and business procurement - the former was developed by ICLEI, for the Procura+ campaign, and the latter by the UN Global Compact. Also, propositions are presented in order to incorporate sustainability attributes in the procurement and supply management systems. Based on our experiences with consultancies and projects in partnership with governments, business platforms and academic researches, a survey was conducted with about 50 institutions, among public bodies and businesses, organizing lessons learnt and calling attention for facilitators and barriers of institutional consumption aimed at sustainability. Among the institutions we surveyed, we picked up the examples described in this work. Finally, in Chapter 5, under an integrated perspective of sectors and actors, including individual consumers, we made a critical analysis of the advancements and challenges faced in the past years, and point to guidelines for the future of the so-wanted 'inclusive green economy', considering institutional procurement as an essential tool to (re)build a global scenario that is more favorable to sustainable development.

Relações de Consumo no Brasil

Decisões e Temas Contemporâneos

By: Amanda Celli Cascaes,Fabiola Meiras A. Breseghello,Ligia Lima Godoy,Priscila David Sansone Tutikian

Trata-se de edição bilíngue que reúne 15 artigos de renomados advogados da área de defesa do consumidor que tratam de temas sensíveis como o regime de responsabilidades das plataformas de marketplace, a lei do Superendividamento e as relações de consumo no mercado digital. O trabalho foi elaborado pelo Comitê de Consumo do IBRAC que identificou a necessidade de tratar de decisões e temas contemporâneos de relações de consumo. Possivelmente agravada pela pandemia, identificou-se a situação em que operadores do Direito, por meio da iniciativa privada, órgãos de defesa do consumidor ou mesmo Poder Judiciário, precisaram se reinventar para trazer à sociedade respostas disruptivas, não mais encontradas exclusivamente em nosso Código de Defesa do Consumidor. Novas tecnologias trouxeram inovação às relações de consumo. Modelos disruptivos de negócios consumeristas foram surgindo e se tornaram realidade entre nós. Plataformas de intermediação, economia de compartilhamento, proteção de dados, aprimoramento do e-commerce, foram alguns dos temas que precisaram ser aprofundados e enfrentados pelos operadores do Direito, de modo a apresentar à sociedade de consumo diretrizes para o seu efetivo funcionamento. Do ponto de vista processual, novos temas também começaram a ocupar espaço no dia a dia. A sobrecarga do Poder Judiciário justificou o estudo aprofundado de on line dispute resolutions, como forma alternativa de soluções de conflitos. Os danos coletivos, em casos de violação a direitos individuais homogêneos, também passaram por reflexões perante o Superior Tribunal de Justiça. Assim, com o objetivo principal de agregar tecnicamente aos principais e atuais temas que circundam as relações de consumo em nosso país, nosso grupo entrega mais esse trabalho coletivo que, acima de qualquer coisa, é motivo de orgulho e satisfação.

Introduction to Soliton Theory: Applications to Mechanics

By: Ligia Munteanu,Stefania Donescu

This monograph is planned to provide the application of the soliton theory to solve certain practical problems selected from the fields of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics and biomechanics. The work is based mainly on the authors’ research carried out at their home institutes, and on some specified, significant results existing in the published literature. The methodology to study a given evolution equation is to seek the waves of permanent form, to test whether it possesses any symmetry properties, and whether it is stable and solitonic in nature. Students of physics, applied mathematics, and engineering are usually exposed to various branches of nonlinear mechanics, especially to the soliton theory. The soliton is regarded as an entity, a quasi-particle, which conserves its character and interacts with the surroundings and other solitons as a particle. It is related to a strange phenomenon, which consists in the propagation of certain waves without attenuation in dissipative media. This phenomenon has been known for about 200 years (it was described, for example, by the Joule Verne's novel Les histoires de Jean Marie Cabidoulin, Éd. Hetzel), but its detailed quantitative description became possible only in the last 30 years due to the exceptional development of computers. The discovery of the physical soliton is attributed to John Scott Russell. In 1834, Russell was observing a boat being drawn along a narrow channel by a pair of horses.

Abortion in Latin America and the Caribbean

The Legal Impact of the American Convention on Human Rights

By: Ligia De Jesús Castaldi

Abortion in Latin America and the Caribbean is the first major book to analyze the abortion laws of the Latin American and Caribbean nations that are parties to the American Convention on Human Rights. Making use of a broad range of materials relating to human rights and abortion law not yet available in English, the first part of this book analyzes how Inter-American human rights bodies have interpreted the American Convention’s prenatal right to life. The second part examines Article 4(1) of the American Convention, comparing and analyzing the laws regarding prenatal rights and abortion in all twenty-three nations that are parties to this treaty. Castaldi questions how Inter-American human rights bodies currently interpret Article 4(1). Against the predominant view, she argues that the purpose of this treaty is to grant legal protection of the unborn child from elective abortion that is broad and general, not merely exceptional. Abortion in Latin America and the Caribbean offers an objective analysis of national and international laws on abortion, proposing a new interpretation of the American Convention’s right-to-life provision that is nonrestrictive and provides general protection for the unborn. The book will appeal not only to students and scholars in the field of international human rights but also to human rights advocates more generally.
