Cosmopolitan Capital and the Internationalization of the Field of Business Elites: Evidence from the Swiss Case

The aim of this contribution is to explore how the recent internationalization and the increasing importance of 'cosmopolitan capital' has impacted on the structure and character of the field of the Swiss business elite. For this purpose we will develop the notion of cosmopolitan capital and comparatively investigate the field of the Swiss business elite in 1980, 2000 and 2010 with multiple correspondence analysis. We can show that in this period international managers with transnational careers and networks not only grow in number, but come to conquer the apex of the biggest and highest capitalized Swiss firms. At the same time, national forms of capital decline in importance and Swiss managers themselves are differentiated increasingly into national and international fractions.

Cumulative frequency-dependent selective episodes allow for rapid morph cycles and rock-paper-scissors dynamics in species with overlapping generations.

Rock-paper-scissors (RPS) dynamics, which maintain genetic polymorphisms over time through negative frequency-dependent (FD) selection, can evolve in short-lived species with no generational overlap, where they produce rapid morph frequency cycles. However, most species have overlapping generations and thus, rapid RPS dynamics are thought to require stronger FD selection, the existence of which yet needs to be proved. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that two cumulative selective episodes, FD sexual selection reinforced by FD selection on offspring survival, generate sufficiently strong selection to generate rapid morph frequency cycles in the European common lizard Zootoca vivipara, a multi-annual species with major generational overlap. These findings show that the conditions required for the evolution of RPS games are fulfilled by almost all species exhibiting genetic polymorphisms and suggest that RPS games may be responsible for the maintenance of genetic diversity in a wide range of species.

Extensão Universitária: Estudo de Caso do ISCEE Cabo Verde Business School

o objectivo da presente comunicação é apresentar o resultado da investigação aplicada no ISCEE sob a forma de extensão universitária. Este novo paradigma no Ensino Superior deve ser aplicado em todas as IES, de forma a demonstrar à comunidade em geral as três dimensões da missão das Universidades, nomeadamente, o ensino, investigação e extensão. Aliás estas três dimensões deverão igualmente ser contabilizados na elaboração de rankings universitários que normalmente não avaliam os mecanismos de extensão universitária. Em África, as Universidades são promotoras do desenvolvimento local e trabalham directamente com as comunidades no processo de partilha e disseminação do conhecimento para dotar as comunidades de ferramentas e instrumentos para o seu desenvolvimento. O Estudo de caso apresentado, IRT, Itinerário de Recursos Turísticos, mostra como o ISCEE se candidatou a um concurso público lançado para fazer o levantamento exaustivo dos itinerários turísticos em Cabo Verde nas principais ilhas, Santiago, São Vicente, Santo Antão e São Nicolau. Estiveram envolvidos nestes projectos vários docentes e alunos do ISCEE, no terreno, o que também demonstra a importância da extensão universitária promover “ in loco” a simbiose na relação entre docentes e alunos em termos de trabalho de campo e ao mesmo tempo cumprir a missão do ISCEE que é a de reforçar a competitividade de Cabo Verde, através da formação de recursos humanos qualificados e ao mesmo tempo responder aos grandes desafios do País, em especial, a dinamização do cluster do Turismo. A transmissão e difusão do conhecimento universitário para a sociedade, o conhecimento pluriversitário é o grande desígnio do ISCEE em Cabo Verde.

Análisis y mejora de los procesos excepcionales de una multinacional del sector de la electrónica utilizando la metodología Business Process Management

El presente documento ilustra la aplicación de la metodología Business Process Managementpara el caso de una empresa multinacional del sector de la electrónica. Para ello se han tomado los procesos excepcionales de Supply Chain Operations en el área EMEA (Europa, Oriente Medio y África). Se ha analizado la situación inicial, donde la aparición de incidencias de calidad en productos terminados y listos para entregar a clientes generaba una serie de acciones descoordinadas y con resultados insatisfactorios. Todos los departamentos implicados comprometían recursos, tiempo y esfuerzo, sin estar alineados entre sí. A partir de la aplicación sistemática de la metodología BPM definida en 10 fases, se ha desarrollado una solución completa para los procesos excepcionales. El documento describe con detalle en proceso de Reflash y la documentación necesaria para poner el proceso bajo control y en mejora continua.

The Brauer group and the second Abel-Jacobi map for 0-cycles on algebraic varieties

This paper focuses on the connection between the Brauer group and the 0-cycles of an algebraic variety. We give an alternative construction of the second l-adic Abel-Jacobi map for such cycles, linked to the algebraic geometry of Severi-Brauer varieties on X. This allows us then to relate this Abel-Jacobi map to the standard pairing between 0-cycles and Brauer groups (see [M], [L]), completing results from [M] in this direction. Second, for surfaces, it allows us to present this map according to the more geometrical approach devised by M. Green in the framework of (arithmetic) mixed Hodge structures (see [G]). Needless to say, this paper owes much to the work of U. Jannsen and, especially, to his recently published older letter [J4] to B. Gross.
