Negócios internacionais: Estratégias de investimentos no contexto luso-brasileiro

Este ensaio descreve e analisa novos desafios e oportunidades no âmbito dos negócios internacionais no contexto Luso-Brasileiro. Inicialmente, o ensaio desafia a hegemonia do conhecimento acadêmico em negócios internacionais alcançado por conexões Anglo-Americanas para sustentar que a valorização das conexões Luso-Brasileiras em um mundo globalizado pode promover conexões mais sólidas com outros países e regiões. A seguir, o ensaio descreve e analisa dados referentes aos fluxos de entrada e saída de investimentos direto externo no contexto Luso-Brasileiro com propósito de destacar, dentre os desafios e oportunidades contemporâneos, a crescente internacionalização das empresas portuguesas e brasileiras nas últimas duas décadas. Como considerações finais, o ensaio sustenta que a intensificação das conexões Luso-Brasileiras em termos de fluxos de investimentos requer estudos interdisciplinares entre os âmbitos de economia política internacional, negócios internacionais e gestão internacional.

Ergonomics as authoritarian or libertarian: Learning from colin ward's politics of design

Ergonomics is intrinsically connected to political debates about the good society, about how we should live. This article follows the ideas of Colin Ward by setting the practices of ergonomics and design along a spectrum between more libertarian approaches and more authoritarian. Within Anglo-American ergonomics, more authoritarian approaches tend to prevail, often against the wishes of designers who have had to fight with their employers for best possible design outcomes. The article draws on debates about the design and manufacturing of schoolchildren's furniture. Ergonomics would benefit from embracing these issues to stimulate a broader discourse amongst its practitioners about how to be open to new disciplines, particularly those in the social sciences.

All Is not English that Glitters: False Anglicisms in the Spanish Language of Sports

Over the past decades, many studies have dealt with Anglicisms in Spanish, not only in science and technology, but also in other areas such as business, fashion and even sports. However, in spite of the large number of works on Spanish Anglicisms in sports, these have often disregarded the distinction between Anglicisms and false Anglicisms. Given their importance as evidence of the particular relationships between languages, this article focuses on the use of false Anglicisms in the Spanish language of sports, which has not only adopted English words giving them new meanings and usage, but has also either imported items with an English appearance from other languages or created its own forms based on English patterns. Although these false Anglicisms, which have proven extremely popular in various European languages (not only Spanish), have frequently been used and disseminated, as some examples will prove, little attention has been paid to their differences with the English term or their non-English origin.

TAKING ORGANIZATIONS SERIOUSLY: RESPONSIBLE AGENCY, ORGANIZATIONS AND THE CRIMINAL LAW

In the post-Enlightenment period, Anglo-American criminal law has been applied with increased force, and an ever expanding scope, to collective actors like corporations and other organizations. Recent scholarship has focused on developing “truly organizational” bases of liability that break with the conventional approach of imputing individual conduct to an organization and instead analyze culpable conduct and intent in a way that reflects the distinct and independent capacity of organizations to pursue their interests or goals collaboratively. In 2004, Canada enacted amendments inspired by these ideas in the hope they would lead to more effective criminal enforcement against organizations. Twelve years later, however, the promise of Bill C-45 is largely unfulfilled. In this thesis, I explore how much of this failure of law reform to deliver transformational change is attributable to an individualist bias that permeates how we think about what it means to be responsible and how this then shapes the responsibility ascription process. Using an analytical framework that combines criminal law theory with selected aspects of rational-structural theory and organization culture, I suggest that a promising way forward may lie in reframing the essential qualities required to be a subject of the criminal law in a way that captures the unique attributes that make organizations different from individuals. The resulting organizational concept of responsible agency allows for an integration of organizational reality into how we assess organizational culpability while keeping the ambit of criminal liability within the limits of what is practicable and fair. This better aligns with the spirit of Bill C-45: to impose criminal liability in a way that takes organizations – and their crimes – seriously.

Epistemic, Ontic, Axiologic, and Praxic Constructs in Knowledge Organization Research

The work of knowledge organization requires a particular set of tools. For instance we need standards of content description like Anglo-American Cataloging Rules Edition 2, Resource Description and Access (RDA), Cataloging Cultural Objects, and Describing Archives: A Content Standard. When we intellectualize the process of knowledge organization – that is when we do basic theoretical research in knowledge organization we need another set of tools. For this latter exercise we need constructs. Constructs are ideas with many conceptual elements, largely considered subjective. They allow us to be inventive as well as allow us to see a particular point of view in knowledge organization. For example, Patrick Wilson’s ideas of exploitative control and descriptive control, or S. R. Ranganathan’s fundamental categories are constructs. They allow us to identify functional requirements or operationalizations of functional requirements, or at least come close to them for our systems and schemes. They also allow us to carry out meaningful evaluation.What is even more interesting, from a research point of view, is that constructs once offered to the community can be contested and reinterpreted and this has an affect on how we view knowledge organization systems and processes. Fundamental categories are again a good example in that some members of the Classification Research Group (CRG) argued against Ranganathan’s point of view. The CRG posited more fundamental categories than Ranganathan’s five, Personality, Matter, Energy, Space, and Time (Ranganathan, 1967). The CRG needed significantly more fundamental categories for their work.1 And these are just two voices in this space we can also consider the fundamental categories of Johannes Kaiser (1911), Shera and Egan, Barbara Kyle (Vickery, 1960), and Eric de Grolier (1962). We can also reference contemporary work that continues comparison and analysis of fundamental categories (e.g., Dousa, 2011).In all these cases we are discussing a construct. The fundamental category is not discovered; it is constructed by a classificationist. This is done because it is useful in engaging in the act of classification. And while we are accustomed to using constructs or debating their merit in one knowledge organization activity or another, we have not analyzed their structure, nor have we created a typology. In an effort to probe the epistemological dimension of knowledge organization, we think it would be a fruitful exercise to do this. This is because we might benefit from clarity around not only our terminology, but the manner in which we talk about our terminology. We are all creative workers examining what is available to us, but doing so through particular lenses (constructs) identifying particular constructs. And by knowing these and being able to refer to these we would consider a core competency for knowledge organization researchers.

Antecedente nacional e internacional sobre la percepción y los derechos de las niñas, los niños, los y las adolescentes

Until the middle of the XVIII Century, children were considered as miniature adults, but with Jean Jacob Rousseau the study of the development of the human being was started and the foundation was set up for the new science of Paidology (the study of children), wich focuses on the different intellectual and physical conflicts which children face, and also for other sciencies such as Paidofilaxis, Pueroculture and Pediatrics. The Society of Nations, created, in 1919, the Consultancy for the Trafficking of Women and the Protection of Children, and in Geneva, the International Union for Aid was founded in 1920. In Argentina, the First American Congress for Children was organized in 1916, and others followed. The first Declaration of Childrens Right was proclaimed in 1924 and then followed the first Ten Commandments of Childrens Rights. In Costa Rica in 1929, a project was presented for the Constitutional Congress to establish an institution for the protection of children, wich was duly enacted into law in 1930 with the name of National Institution for the Protection of Children (Patronato Nacional de la Infancia, PANI) whose duty was to oversee the welfare of minors and their physical, intellectual, moral and emotional development. In 1930, the first Declaration of the Rights for Costarrican Children was proclaimed. The creation of the PANI, the declaration of Childrens Rights, and the enactment of a Code for Infants (1932), constitute the three events that signal Costa Rica as one of the pioneers countries in Latin American and the World, in the protectionof children and mothers. At the end of the article, some of the crucial events that have happened during the decades that PANI has been working in the country are analized.

La progresividad del artículo 1° de la Declaración Americana de los Derechos y Deberes: el aporte del desarrollo de los derechos reproductivos en América Latina

 Resumen  El desarrollo progresivo del derecho a la vida, la libertad y la seguridad personal se han visto enriquecidos con la lucha y posterior positivación de los derechos reproductivos, en tanto estos han generado una ampliación de los criterios sobre los cuales se basa la obligación del Estado respecto de los derechos humanos en general, y en particular de aquellos consagrados en el primer artículo de la Declaración Americana de Derechos y Deberes. Los países de América Latina, en el marco de dicha obligación, han adoptado posturas diversas frente a los derechos reproductivos, específicamente en lo que refiere a la despenalización del aborto consolidando tres grandes tendencias regionales que muestran aciertos y desaciertos. El presente artículo que surge como reflexión personal propuesta como aporte académico en el marco de los debates jurídicos llevados a cabo durante el I Congreso Latinoamericano Jurídico sobre Derechos Reproductivos, tiene como objetivo realizar una mirada a dichas tendencias con el fin de dar un panorama general de la situación de América Latina y su deuda frente a los derechos reproductivos y de esta manera pensar propuestas más holísticas para alcanzar la realización de dichos derechos, y consecuentemente seguir promoviendo progresivamente el desarrollo del derecho a la vida, la libertad y la seguridad personal.Palabras clave: derechos reproductivos, vida, libertad personal, progresividad.AbstractThe progressive development of the right to life, liberty and personal security has been enriched by the struggle for and subsequent onset of reproductive rights, in as much as they have widened the State’s obligations towards the respect of human rights and in particular those enumerated in the first article of the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties. Latin American countries, within these requirements, have taken diverse stances towards reproductive rights, specifically with regards to the decriminalization of abortion, which can be reduced into three major trends representing successes as well as errors. This article comes as a personal reflection, and proposed as an academic contribution, in the context of legal debates held during the First Latin American Congress on Reproductive Rights Law. It is aimed at taking a look at these trends in order to give an overview on the situation in Latin America and its debt to reproductive rights, and, in this way, to ponder about more holistic proposals to achieve their fulfillment, hence progressively promoting the development of the right to life, to liberty and to personal security. Keywords: Reproductive rights, life, personal liberty, progressiveness.

Patrimoni storici e fondi speciali nelle biblioteche d'ateneo. Valutazione e impatto dell'Università

Quali benefici possono apportare alla società le biblioteche degli atenei che conservano patrimoni storici e fondi speciali? Per rispondere a questa domanda occorre indagare l’impatto delle loro attività, cioè il cambiamento che il contatto coi servizi della biblioteca determina in un individuo o in un gruppo, secondo la definizione della ISO 16439:2014. Scopo della ricerca è proporre una metodologia per valutare l’impatto delle iniziative di valorizzazione di tali patrimoni attuate dalle biblioteche degli atenei. Il campo d’indagine coincide con il contesto universitario pubblico italiano, osservato criticamente in una prospettiva internazionale grazie all’analisi di esperienze non italiane. Dopo un inquadramento storico della biblioteca di università e della sua apertura alla società, il lavoro si sofferma sull’interpretazione del concetto angloamericano di «special collections» ed esamina le più diffuse modalità di valorizzazione adottate dalle biblioteche di ateneo. Per disporre di un quadro sulla gestione dei patrimoni storici e dei fondi speciali nelle biblioteche degli atenei italiani, il lavoro ha previsto una ricerca sui sistemi bibliotecari degli atenei pubblici del nostro Paese. Le attività di valorizzazione svolte dalle biblioteche di ateneo possono contribuire allo sviluppo culturale del contesto in cui sono radicate, nell’ottica della Terza Missione dell’Università. Alle sollecitazioni della Terza Missione si aggiunge che i benefici della valorizzazione possono legarsi al concetto di «cultural welfare» e promuovere altresì il valore della biodiversità culturale, fattore concorrente alla realizzazione della società auspicata dall’Agenda 2030 delle Nazioni Unite. La tesi propone una metodologia per valutare la risposta delle biblioteche di ateneo che svolgono attività di valorizzazione dei patrimoni storici e dei fondi speciali rispetto alle cornici strategiche di Terza Missione e di Agenda 2030. A completamento della parte teorica, si presentano due casi studio posti a confronto, l’uno riferito alla Biblioteca Històrica della Universitat de València (Spagna) e l’altro alla Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna.

Ritradurre il fantastico femminile: scelte e pratiche nel panorama editoriale italiano, con uno sguardo alle opere di Daphne du Maurier, Shirley Jackson e Angela Carter

La presente tesi si concentra sulla tendenza, riscontrata nel panorama editoriale italiano, al repêchage e ritraduzione di letteratura fantastica angloamericana femminile. Il corpus di case studies individuati a tale scopo è costituito da una selezione di testi delle autrici Daphne du Maurier, Shirley Jackson e Angela Carter. Di ogni autrice si sono analizzati il romanzo e il racconto con più pubblicazioni editoriali fra lingua inglese e italiana. Di questi testi si sono esaminate le ritraduzioni italiane, che vanno dal 1958 al 2017, con particolare attenzione alle ritraduzioni degli anni Novanta e Duemila pubblicate dagli editori di cultura. Lo studio prende avvio da un apparato teorico sul problema della ritraduzione e sulle teorie formulate in merito alla letteratura fantastica femminile, coadiuvato da una ricerca all’interno dei cataloghi delle case editrici di cultura che hanno pubblicato le ritraduzioni in esame, confrontati con quelli di tre case editrici di riferimento per quanto riguarda il settore fantastico-gotico. Una seconda parte della ricerca è inoltre dedicata agli studi sulla ricezione e sul paratesto, come ulteriore strumento d’analisi del processo di repêchage editoriale quando coadiuvato dalla pratica ritraduttiva. L’apparato teorico è supportato da una ricerca qualitativa in merito all’evoluzione paratestuale dei testi selezionati e della ricezione degli stessi nel loro contesto originario e d’arrivo. La terza e ultima sezione della ricerca è dedicata all’analisi letteraria dei testi in esame. In questo contesto ha infine un suo spazio lo studio traduttologico contrastivo di una casistica di esempi linguistici tratti dai testi. A partire dall’osservazione delle parabole editoriali delle tre autrici, la presente ricerca si propone dunque di fornire uno sguardo d’insieme sul recente fenomeno del repêchage letterario di opere fantastiche femminili nel panorama editoriale italiano, e di investigare il ruolo e la portata socioculturale che la ritraduzione occupa all’interno di questo processo.

Projeto de intervenção para prevenção de casos de gravidez na adolescência no município de Alvorada de Minas

A gravidez na adolescência tornou-se nos últimos tempos um grande problema de saúde publica, pois apresenta sérias implicações de ordem biológica, familiar e econômica as quais atingem o indivíduo isoladamente e a sociedade como um todo, visto que são, muitas vezes, não planejadas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi propor um projeto de intervenção tendo como ponto de partida o mapeamento e a análise dos estudos científicos publicados no Brasil a fim de subsidiar um projeto de intervenção voltado para a promoção da saúde do adolescente no Município de Alvorada de Minas. Foram utilizados como descritores de busca, nas bases de dados, os seguintes termos: gravidez, adolescência e prevenção. As ações multidisciplinares aqui propostas serão desenvolvidas no decorrer do ano de 2014 cujas estratégias acarretarão na implantação do Projeto "Empoderamento a Força da Mudança para o Sexo Seguro", com ações em Educação Sexual voltadas para Adolescentes do Município de Alvorada de Minas, com apoio da Organização não Governamental Reprolatina e da Empresa Anglo American. Inúmeras ações educativas para adolescentes serão realizadas no ano de 2014 com vistas à redução da incidência de gravidez na adolescência, tais como: a criação do grupo de adolescentes; a implantação da consulta do adolescente; a implantação de oficinas educativas nas escolas; a inserção dos adolescentes nas campanhas de mobilização social.

The formative platform of the Congress of Panama (1810-1826): the Pan-American conjecture revisited

This article examines the formative platform of the Congress of Panama of 1826. It seeks to support the hypothesis that the nature and scope of the first test of integration in the Western Hemisphere depended critically on the platform created by Simón Bolívar and other Latin American Independence heroes from the Declaration of Independence of Venezuela in 1810 until the last bilateral agreement of 1826. In that respect, it corroborates the Latin American Identity of the initiative.
