Weaving Futures. Family Transnationalism in the migration from Dominican Republic and Brazil to Spain

This article explores forms of migrant families��� reorganization within a (new) global economic crisis and the hardening of migration control in Europe; based on the cases of Dominican and Brazilian migration to Spain.Our goal is not to characterize the wholeness of strategies from these collectives, instead visualize its heterogeneity. Displacement of Dominican and Brazilian population to Spain shares the role of women as the first link of migration chains. In both cases women are the economic support of transnational families and they lead reunification's processes. Nevertheless, differences in the time spent in the destination country, migratory status, origin (rural-urban), level of education, class and labor insertion in destination country, affect differently, the planning and start up of migration projects, the organization of care and family reunification strategies. These findings question the predominant place granted to national origin in the study of international migration.

The gendered effects of family migration law: contextual interpretation as a possible judicial remedy

At all normative levels, family migration law can disproportionally and negatively affect immigrant women���s rights in this field, producing gendered effects. In some cases, such effects are related to the normative and judicial imposition of unviable family-related models (e.g., the ��good mother �� the one-breadwinner family, or a rigid distinction between productive and reproductive work). In other cases, they are due to family migration law���s overlooking of the specific needs and difficulties of immigrant women, within their families and in the broader context of their host countries��� social and normative framework.To effectively expose and correct this gender bias, in this article I propose an alternative view of immigrant women���s right to family life, as a cluster of rights and entitlements rather than as a mono-dimensional right. As a theoretical approach, this construction is better equipped to capture the complex experiences of immigrant women in the European legal space, and to shed light on the gendered effects generated not by individual norms but by the interaction of norms that are traditionally assigned to separated legal domains (e.g., immigration law and criminal law). As a judicial strategy, this understanding is capable of prompting a consideration by domestic and supranational courts of immigrant women not as isolated individuals, but as ���individuals in context���. I shall define this type of approach as ���contextual interpretation���, understood as the consideration of immigrant women in the broader contexts of their families, their host societies and the normative frameworks applicable to them. Performed in a gendersensitive manner, a contextual judicial interpretation has the potential to neutralize the gendered effects of certain family migration norms. To illustrate these points, I will discuss selected judicial examples offered by the European Court on Human Rights, as well as from domestic jurisdictions of countries with a particularly high incidence of immigrant women (Italy and Spain).

Facultad por Facultad. Origen familiar y empleo de los licenciados en CCSS y Humanidades de la UCM en el a��o 2003

Muchos estudios encuentran un efecto del origen social sobre la ocupaci��n y el salario incluso tras controlar la educaci��n. Este efecto, que suele ser peque��o, puede ser un artificio resultante del deficiente control de la educaci��n. Este trabajo examina la importancia de controlar en detalle la educaci��n desagregando las carreras universitarias. Estudiamos el clasismo del mercado de trabajo para una promoci��n de titulados en Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) en los seis a��os entre su graduaci��n en 1997 y 2003. Esta es la fecha de la encuesta gracias a la cual podemos medir la influencia del status social de los padres sobre las oportunidades de empleo de los hijos no con t��tulo universitario en general, sino con el mismo t��tulo universitario. Encontramos que la influencia del origen social sobre la clase profesional y los ingresos disminuye mucho cuando se controlan las titulaciones, y que no se observa en la mayor parte de ellas, pero s�� en algunas, en concreto Pol��ticas y Sociolog��a y Econ��micas. Esta concreci��n allana el camino para investigar las v��as por las que esta influencia se produce.

As mudan��as e o aumento da concorr��ncia em todos os segmentos econ��micos t��m exigido das empresas um grau de profissionaliza����o cada vez maior. As empresas familiares, al��m desse desafio frente ao mercado, ainda se deparam com dificuldades intr��nsecas ��s suas caracter��sticas, como a dificuldade em separar o que �� fam��lia, empresa e patrim��nio. Portanto, �� necess��rio se preparar para continuar no mercado e desenvolver um plano de sucess��o para as pr��ximas gera����es. O objetivo geral deste trabalho �� propor um instrumento de avalia����o do processo sucess��rio em empresas familiares. Dentre os objetivos espec��ficos, encontram-se identificar itens de maturidade no processo sucess��rio, oferecer diretrizes estrat��gicas para promover a sucess��o em empresas familiares e avaliar a aplicabilidade do instrumento de pesquisa. Para a empresa estar preparada para a sucess��o, ela n��o pode tratar somente o assunto isoladamente. Portanto, os temas estrat��gia, planejamento estrat��gico, distin����o entre fam��lia, propriedade e gest��o, governan��a corporativa e maturidade, tamb��m s��o aprofundados ao longo da revis��o de literatura. Por meio de um estudo de caso com abordagem explorat��ria, o trabalho foi desenvolvido tendo-se como base modelos dispon��veis na literatura para avalia����o de maturidade. Antes da aplica����o, o instrumento foi submetido �� avalia����o por cinco especialistas em empresas familiares. Como resultado, foi poss��vel propor uma avalia����o para o processo sucess��rio, identificando itens de maturidade e oferecendo diretrizes estrat��gicas para promover a sucess��o em empresas familiares. Conclui-se que a avalia����o do processo sucess��rio pode contribuir para a empresa identificar seus pontos fortes, minimizando dificuldades e superando obst��culos para sua sobreviv��ncia no mercado ao longo das gera����es. / The advance of competition in all of the economy markets has being demanding companies to have professional businesses, in an increasing way. The family business, beyond this challenge, still faces particular difficulties, such as the difference among family, business and ownership. So, it is a necessity for them being ready for their continuity in the market and developing a succession plan for the next generations. The main objective of this work is to propose an evaluation instrument for succession process. Specific objectives are to identify maturity items in the succession process, offer strategic directions to promote succession in family businesses and evaluate the usage of the research instrument. To get ready for succession, the company can not work just this subject. Therefore, it includes topics like: strategy, strategic planning, difference among family, business and ownership, corporate governance, and maturity are reviewed along the literature.

Prior to the application, the research instrument was applied to five specialists in family businesses. As a result, it was possible to propose an evaluation model for succession, identifying maturity items and offering strategic perspectives to promote the succession process in family businesses. As conclusion, the succession evaluation could contribute for the company identifies its strengths, minimizing difficulties and overcoming obstacles for survival throughout generations.

Mapeando fundamentos do Constructo Neuromarketing com profissionais de empresa de publicidade

This study aims to acknowledge the domain level and influence of the neuromarketing construct. This is done considering professionals at advertising agencies in Brazil. The presence of concepts related to this new approach is very little divulged, and there are little analysis performed on this area. Thus, the research is of qualitative and exploratory nature and used as primary fonts books, articles related to marketing, neuroscience, and psychology as well as secondary fonts. A profound interview was realized aiming the main advertising agencies in Brazil. The public was composed by managers responsible for planning. A content analysis was performed afterwards. The advances related to the brain science have permitted the development of technological innovation. These go primarily towards knowledge and unconscious experiences of consumers, which are responsible for the impulse of decision making and consumer behavior. These issues are related to Neuromarketing, that in turn, uses techniques such as FMRI, PET and FDOT. These scan the consumer s brain and produces imagines on the neuron s structures and functioning. This is seen while activities such as mental tasks for the visualization of brands, images or products, watching videos and commercials are performed. It is observed that the agencies are constantly in search of new technologies and are aware of the limitations of the current research instruments. On the other hand, they are not totally familiar with concepts related to neuromarketing. In relation to the neuroimage techniques it is pointed out by the research that there is full unawareness, but some agencies seem to visualize positive impacts with the use of these techniques for the evaluation of films and in ways that permit to know the consumer better. It is also seen that neuroimage is perceived as a technique amongst others, but its application is not real, there are some barriers in the market and in the agencies itself. These barriers as well as some questioning allied to the scarce knowledge of neuromarketing, make it not possible to be put into practice in the advertising market. It is also observed that even though there is greater use of neuromarketing; there would not be any meaningful changes in functioning and structuring of these agencies. The use of the neuro-image machines should be done in research institutes and centers of big companies. Results show that the level of domain of the neuromarketing construct in the Brazilian advertising agencies is only a theoretical one. Little is known of this subject and the neurological studies and absolutely nothing of neuroimage techniques

A tomada de decis��o nas institui����es particulares de solidariedade social

Introdu����o e objetivo: Atualmente as Institui����es Particulares de Solidariedade Social deparam-se com mudan��as de caracter social, econ��mico e legislativo, que t��m afetado o seu funcionamento e financiamento. Pelo que, imp��e-se ��s suas dire����es responder ��s necessidades sociais com maior responsabilidade e efici��ncia num contexto de maior escassez de recursos. Neste sentido, o presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender o modo como as Institui����es Particulares de Solidariedade Social tomam decis��es, ao n��vel do financiamento, para um funcionamento eficiente das mesmas. Metodologia: Optou-se por realizar estudos de caso com uma amostra constitu��da por quatro Institui����es Particulares de Solidariedade Social. A recolha de dados foi feita atrav��s de entrevistas semiestruturadas e an��lise documental. O tratamento de dados foi feito atrav��s de an��lise de conte��do e com recurso ao software QRS Nvivo vers��o 10. Resultados: Os principais resultados indicam que: a) as necessidades sociais influenciam decis��es de aumento e diminui����o da capacidade de respostas das institui����es; b) o sistema legal influencia a perpetua����o de interven����es de caracter institucional; c) a conjuntura econ��mica influencia a press��o sobre o pre��o da comparticipa����o familiar e o aumento da concorr��ncia entre institui����es; d) a escassez de recursos constitui-se como denominador comum entre institui����es, influenciando decis��es de investimento que assumem o financiamento p��blico como um facto consumado; e) as pr��ticas de lideran��a e gest��o desenvolvidas por dire����es com elementos que t��m conhecimentos na ��rea financeira s��o mais propensas a assumir o risco e a aumentar a complexidade operativa das institui����es f) as pr��ticas de envolvimento de stakeholders internos e externos contribuem para a aquisi����o de apoio na prossecu����o dos seus objetivos. Conclus��o: As tomadas de decis��o das institui����es com acordos com a seguran��a social assemelham-se por prevalecer o desenvolvimento de respostas tipificadas, com acordo com a seguran��a social. Apesar disso, os resultados evidenciam a import��ncia de pr��ticas de lideran��a e gest��o desenvolvidas com a presen��a de elementos com conhecimentos na ��rea financeira, para o desenvolvimento de respostas tipificadas com rentabilidade econ��mica. Salienta-se ainda que o desenvolvimento de pr��ticas de envolvimento de stakeholders internos e externos, baseados na responsabiliza����o e transpar��ncia, promovem o alcance de apoios para assegurar o desenvolvimento das atividades institucionais, com maior incid��ncia na institui����o sem acordos com a seguran��a social, mas que os mesmos n��o asseguram a sua efici��ncia econ��mica.

Live Work: The Impact of Direct Encounters in Statutory Child and Family Social Wor

The aim of this research project was to examine the impact of direct work on practitioners in the field of statutory child protection. The author���s premise was that this work was anything but straightforward and that surprisingly, given the intense scrutiny on Children���s Services following a child death, there was little research into the day-to-day practice of front line staff. The aim was to explore whether psychoanalytic theory could be useful in understanding and making sense of the social work task. Data was collected through observation and semi-structured interviews in one Local Authority Child in Need team over a period of six months. The findings indicated that practitioners experienced direct work with some individuals and families as profoundly disturbing and that this affected them physiologically as well as psychologically. These effects persisted over time and appeared very difficult for the workers to process or articulate. This could be expressed through embodied or non-verbal communication in the interview. Practitioners appeared to be ���inhabited��� by particular clients, suggesting phenomena such as projective identification were in operation. The intensity and persistence of the impact on the practitioners appears to be directly related to the quality, nature and intensity of the psychic defences functioning for the particular client. Significantly, the research indicated that when practitioners were dealing with the negative and disturbing projections from the (adult) clients it seemed from the data that the focus on the child would slip so that the child appeared to recede from view. Symptoms experienced by the practitioners were akin to trauma and research and theory on primary and secondary trauma were considered. Other issues raised included shame, which affects the clients, practitioners and the organisation and the meaning and implications of this are explored. Links between neuroscience and projective identification are addressed as well as the role of the organisation, particularly as a container for these toxic and disturbing encounters.

Desempenho e background familiar: um estudo no acesso a uma institui����o de ensino t��cnico federal no Brasil

This paper comprises an investigation on the influence of the variable family backgrounds (father school level, mother school level and family income) over the pupil s performance in admissions examination (entrance test or PROITEC) at Instituto Federal de Educa����o, Ci��ncia e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN). From that point of view, the main goal of this research is to analyze the influence of the family background as a determiner of the pupil��s performance in the access to Technical and Professional education at IFRN. Secondary data were used from two databases (entrance test and PROITEC) adding up to 19.226 observations to the vacancies offered in the year of 2013. Aiming at achieving the proposed goal, a conceptual model composed of three hypothesis was developed. The results were presented in four stages: stage I presentation of the descriptive statistical results of the two databases; stage II separation of the campi in clusters; stage III analysis of multiple regressions; stage IV analysis of the logistics regressions. Two statistical tests were used to validate the hypothesis: T-test and Wald test. Hypothesis 1 and 2 were confirmed and H3 was refused. The results presented favorable causal connections to the family income and the father school level variables (with bigger effect for fathers with a higher education degree). The mother school level variable did not provide statistical significance for this research. Based on this result, after this work, this institution is to develop a strategic plan to assist in the success rate of students preparing diagnoses in order to diminish the effects of the variables that impacted negatively

A separa����o do patrim��nio da fam��lia e do patrim��nio afecto ao neg��cio �� uma condi����o necess��ria para um bom relacionamento entre estes dois subsistemas. �� semelhan��a dos ��rg��os de administra����o da empresa familiar tamb��m a fam��lia empres��ria tem os seus ��rg��os de governo: reuni��o de fam��lia, assembleia de fam��lia, conselho familiar, comiss��es familiares ad-hoc, protocolo familiar e family office. S��o estes ��rg��os que v��o ser apresentados. ABSTRACT The importance that family firms have in today���s economy requires that one understands the decision making process in these types of firms, particularly the decision making process that stem from within the family circle that controls the firm. In order to understand these processes and the relationship between the two ���subsystems of decision-making��� one must separate the family���s resources from the family���s resources that has been engaged in the business. The family businesses, likewise the family firm, also have its own bodies of administration, such as family assemblies, family councils, family commissions and meetings, family��� protocols, as well as family office.

Viv��ncias de cuidado familiar �� crian��a dependente de tecnologias: subs��dios para a enfermagem

Crian��as dependentes do uso de tecnologias para viver necessitam de cuidados diferenciados, tanto dos profissionais da sa��de como de sua fam��lia. Para o enfermeiro atuar junto �� fam��lia da crian��a dependente do uso de tecnologias �� necess��rio que compreenda quais s��o os recursos importantes para o enfrentamento de situa����es estressantes que envolvem, necessariamente, o conviver com a doen��a e o cuidado. Ao vivenciar a rela����o com essa fam��lia, o enfermeiro estuda e desenvolve sua pr��tica de aprendizado e de ensino sobre o cuidado humano, criando o fazer profissional e, nesse processo de aprender/ensinar/criar, ele concebe, organiza e expressa a����es de cuidado. A compreens��o da experi��ncia da fam��lia no processo de cuidar da crian��a em seu cotidiano pode subsidiar as interven����es da enfermagem nessas situa����es. Assim, objetivou-se conhecer as viv��ncias de fam��lias no cuidado ��s crian��as dependentes de tecnologias. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e explorat��ria no primeiro semestre de 2014. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com treze familiares cuidadores de crian��as dependentes de tecnologias atendidas em uma Unidade de Pediatria de um hospital universit��rio do sul do pa��s e submetidos �� an��lise tem��tica. Encontraram-se como categorias: caracteriza����o da popula����o do estudo; identifica����o da percep����o do familiar cuidador a cerca do cuidado �� crian��a dependente de tecnologia; recep����o do diagn��stico da crian��a; mudan��as do cotidiano familiar em fun����o do cuidado �� crian��a; profissionais de sa��de e a enfermagem: contribui����es para a instrumentaliza����o do familiar cuidador; facilidades e dificuldades encontradas pelo familiar cuidador durante o cuidado �� crian��a dependente de tecnologia; recebimento de ajuda da rede de apoio social para o cuidado �� crian��a. Acredita-se que este estudo possibilitou a compreens��o da experi��ncia de fam��lias no processo de cuidar da crian��a dependente de tecnologias em seu cotidiano, subsidiando as interven����es da enfermagem nessas situa����es.

Conciliaci��n y corresponsabilidad entre la vida laboral y familiar : aspectos relevantes de su regulaci��n y an��lisis de la Directiva 2010/18/UE

En los ��ltimos a��os, la conciliaci��n de la vida laboral y familiar ha constituido un motor de impulso para el desarrollo normativo y la creaci��n de pol��ticas en esta materia, desde las que se fomenta la igualaci��n de los roles sociales entre hombres y mujeres. En este art��culo se realiza un estudio general acerca de la evoluci��n de conciliaci��n de la vida laboral, familiar y personal, haciendo referencia a las principales disposiciones normativas adoptadas en la materia en el ��mbito internacional y en el marco de la Uni��n Europea, para luego centrarse en el an��lisis de esta instituci��n en el ordenamiento jur��dico espa��ol. Asumir una orientaci��n moderna en materia de conciliaci��n de la vida familiar y laboral exige desarrollar e implementar pol��ticas integrales de promoci��n de la corresponsabilidad, una de cuyas m��s recientes manifestaciones ha sido la adopci��n de la Directiva 2010/18/UE, de 8 de marzo de 2010, por la que se aprueba el Acuerdo marco revisado sobre el permiso parental, celebrado por Business Europe, la UEAPME, el CEEP y la CES.

La estructura familiar dibujada por los propios ni��os/as. Una aproximaci��n al dibujo como mediador social en las relaciones sist��micas familiares

Con esta investigaci��n se pretende analizar la idea de familia que tienen los ni��os/as en la actualidad y c��mo la representan a trav��s del dibujo infantil. El estudio ha sido realizado a partir de un muestreo realizado a ni��os/as de entre 4 y 6 a��os, extra��do de tres escuelas, dos p��blicas y una privada en Granada (Espa��a). La investigaci��n mantiene un car��cter cualitativo. Para la realizaci��n del mismo hemos utilizado los siguientes procedimientos: recopilaci��n de 100 dibujos, otras tantas entrevistas grabadas en audio, observaci��n visual y notas de campo. Nos aseguramos as�� un seguimiento tanto del proceso creativo como de la propia opini��n de los infantes. En la investigaci��n, los ni��os/as mostraron pl��sticamente una idea de familia nuclear, de cuyos progenitores, el padre fue representado apenas participando en las tareas del hogar; mientras que la madre se represent�� asociada a las tareas dom��sticas y al cuidado de sus hijos. Sobre otras realidades familiares, en concreto la familia homosexual, carecen absolutamente de referencias.
