Saneamiento por vicios ocultos: las acciones edilicias

¿Una cosa que no cumple o cumple imperfectamente con su función es la cosa prometida en el contrato o es una cosa distinta ¿La función que debe cumplir una cosa hace parte de su definición contractualDe estas preguntas que, a primera vista, pueden parecer eminentemente teóricas se desprenden consecuencias prácticas de gran importancia: ¿Puede el comprador servirse de la acción por incumplimiento de la obligación de entrega o, más bien, debe reclamar por vicios ocultos o, incluso, solicitar la nulidad por error en las calidades sustanciales de la cosa ¿Y qué decir de la posibilidad de recurrir a las garantías especiales (como la garantía por buen funcionamiento) ¿O a las acciones propias del derecho al consumoSi se tiene en cuenta que estas diferentes vías le ofrecen al demandante plazos de prescripción diversos que en Colombia van desde seis meses hasta diez años y dan lugar a pretensiones distintas, todo abogado litigante para no mencionar a los académicos- se verá en la inminente necesidad de preguntarse sobre las definiciones funcionales de las cosas contractuales y sobre la delimitación del campo de aplicación de las distintas acciones del comprador insatisfecho. Éste es precisamente el objetivo que persigue y, sin duda, alcanza el autor en su libro.

Série: musée fabrique, musée communautaire (fragments)

Nous présentons, à présent, un texte à cheval sur les concepts sur lesquels reposent les différentes formes de musées actuels et la terminologie qui en découle dans sa partie des définitions. Intitulé “la révolution muséale passe par l’exposition (Mayrand, 2007), le texte introduit de nouvelles combinaisons de mots afin de catégoriser les grandes tendances tant à gauche, qu’à droite, qu’au centre. Comme l’indique l’appellation que nous lui attribuons, cette catégorie de musées répondant aux critères de changements les plus radicaux dans le fonctionnement du musée, deviennent des unites (chaînes) de production au même titre que l’entreprise commerciale ou industrielle. Elle rejoint le Festival, la Foire, le Cirque. Elle emprunte à l’industrie sa terminologie: Vente, consommateur, client, satisfaction, rentabilité, recherche–développement, attraction, exportabilité, et tant d’autres. Le commanditaire ou partenaire financier y joue un role de premier plan. Autrefois, on allait au musée (la sortie familiale du Dimanche). A présent on va voir l’exposition X, annoncée à grands renforts de publicité (transports publics, panneaux routiers). Cette exposition “vedette” accompagnée d’expositions satellites quand ce n’est pas le bâtiment lui-même offert à voir (Bilbao), peut être considérée de deux façons, soit de l’intérieur, soit de l’extérieur (le parcours mental et physique du visiteur-client).

The relationship between challenging parenting behaviour and childhood anxiety disorders

Background: This research investigates the relationship between challenging parenting behaviour and childhood anxiety disorders proposed by Bögels and Phares (2008). Challenging parenting behaviour involves the playful encouragement of children to go beyond their own limits, and may decrease children’s risk for anxiety (Bögels & Phares, 2008). Method: Parents (n = 164 mothers, 144 fathers) of 164 children aged between 3.4 and 4.8 years participated in the current study. A multi-method, multi-informant assessment of anxiety was used, incorporating data from diagnostic interviews as well as questionnaire measures. Parents completed self-report measures of their parenting behaviour (n = 147 mothers, 138 fathers) and anxiety (n = 154 mothers, 143 fathers). Mothers reported on their child’s anxiety via questionnaire as well as diagnostic interview (n = 156 and 164 respectively). Of these children, 74 met criteria for an anxiety disorder and 90 did not. Results: Fathers engaged in challenging parenting behaviour more often than mothers. Both mothers’ and fathers’ challenging parenting behaviour was associated with lower report of child anxiety symptoms. However, only mothers’ challenging parenting behaviour was found to predict child clinical anxiety diagnosis. Limitations: Shared method variance from mothers confined the interpretation of these results. Moreover, due to study design, it is not possible to delineate cause and effect. Conclusions: The finding with respect to maternal challenging parenting behaviour was not anticipated, prompting replication of these results. Future research should investigate the role of challenging parenting behaviour by both caregivers as this may have implications for parenting interventions for anxious children.

Le développement de la prosodie dans le syndrome de Williams et le syndrome de Down chez des enfants de langue anglaise

The aim of the present study is to investigate the developmental profile of three aspects of prosody function, i.e. affect, focus and turn-endings in children with Williams and in those with Down’s syndrome compared to typically developing English speaking children. The tasks used were part of the computer-based battery, Profiling Elements of Prosody for Speech Communication (Peppe, McCann & Gibon, 2003). Cross-sectional developmental trajectories linking chronological and non-verbal mental age and affects and turn-ending functions of prosody were constructed. The results showed an atypical profile in both clinical populations. More interestingly, the profiles were atypical for different reasons, suggesting multiple and possibly different developmental pathways to the acquisition of prosody in these two populations.

Essays on growth and environment

This thesis consists of a summary and four self-contained papers. Paper [I] Following the 1987 report by The World Commission on Environment and Development, the genuine saving has come to play a key role in the context of sustainable development, and the World Bank regularly publishes numbers for genuine saving on a national basis. However, these numbers are typically calculated as if the tax system is non-distortionary. This paper presents an analogue to genuine saving in a second best economy, where the government raises revenue by means of distortionary taxation. We show how the social cost of public debt, which depends on the marginal excess burden, ought to be reflected in the genuine saving. We also illustrate by presenting calculations for Greece, Japan, Portugal, U.K., U.S. and OECD average, showing that the numbers published by the World Bank are likely to be biased and may even give incorrect information as to whether the economy is locally sustainable. Paper [II] This paper examines the relationships among per capita CO2 emissions, per capita GDP and international trade based on panel data spanning the period 1960-2008 for 150 countries. A distinction is also made between OECD and Non-OECD countries to capture the differences of this relationship between developed and developing economies. We apply panel unit root and cointegration tests, and estimate a panel error correction model. The results from the error correction model suggest that there are long-term relationships between the variables for the whole sample and for Non-OECD countries. Finally, Granger causality tests show that there is bi-directional short-term causality between per capita GDP and international trade for the whole sample and between per capita GDP and CO2 emissions for OECD countries. Paper [III] Fundamental questions in economics are why some regions are richer than others, why their growth rates differ, whether their growth rates tend to converge, and what key factors contribute to explain economic growth. This paper deals with the average income growth, net migration, and changes in unemployment rates at the municipal level in Sweden. The aim is to explore in depth the effects of possible underlying determinants with a particular focus on local policy variables. The analysis is based on a three-equation model. Our results show, among other things, that increases in the local public expenditure and income taxe rate have negative effects on subsequent income income growth. In addition, the results show conditional convergence, i.e. that the average income among the municipal residents tends to grow more rapidly in relatively poor local jurisdictions than in initially “richer” jurisdictions, conditional on the other explanatory variables. Paper [IV] This paper explores the relationship between income growth and income inequality using data at the municipal level in Sweden for the period 1992-2007. We estimate a fixed effects panel data growth model, where the within-municipality income inequality is one of the explanatory variables. Different inequality measures (Gini coefficient, top income shares, and measures of inequality in the lower and upper part of the income distribution) are examined. We find a positive and significant relationship between income growth and income inequality measured as the Gini coefficient and top income shares, respectively. In addition, while inequality in the upper part of the income distribution is positively associated with the income growth rate, inequality in the lower part of the income distribution seems to be negatively related to the income growth. Our findings also suggest that increased income inequality enhances growth more in municipalities with a high level of average income than in municipalities with a low level of average income.

"Fábrica PIPMO": uma discussão sobre política de treinamento de mão-de-obra no período 1963-1982

Dissertação que se propõe recompor a trajetória do Programa Intensivo de Preparação de Mão-de-Obra (PIPMO), sua origem, expansão e suas vinculações como um instrumento do Estado na condução do projeto desenvolvimentista. O objetivo principal do estudo é dar conta da funçao dos desdobramentos e da ação concreta que o PIPMO cumpriu dentro do processo histórico em que surgiu e se desen volveu. Criado em 1963 como um programa de natureza tran sitória que deveria durar 20 meses, iniciou suas atividades em 1964, funcionando junto ao setor secundário até 1970; estendeu-se aos setores primirio e terciirio em 1971 e es teve em ação até 1982, principalmente junto aos projetos governamentais. Procurou-se localizar, pela discussão IItrabalho e venda da força de trabalho", as vantagens do treinamento e da desqualificação da classe trabalhadora para 'a acumul~ ção capitalista, e situar o PIPMO nos contextos polftico e sócio-economico em que foi criado e se desenvolveu, os antecedentes que lhe deram as bases operacionais e cionais. instituSem manter unidades próprias e funcionando atraves de acordos com inúmeras instituições de formação profissional, o PIPMO conseguiu adestrar milhares de trabalha dores. Neste sentido, o estudo objetivou, ainda, evidenciar as principais relações econõmicas, sociais e pol itfcas que possibiIitaram o desenvolvimento de um programa com suas caracteristicas especificas. Considerando que educação e formação profissional naO são fenômenos isolados dos demais elementos do to do social, pretendeu-se desvendar o real por meio do exame do lugar que o PIPMO ocupou no conjunto dos programas de formação profissional do pars; suas funçôes, contradições e efeitos, bem como os interesses que o sustentaram e sua relação com o processo de produção.

Feira de São Cristovão: a reconstrução do nordestino num mundo de paraíbas e nortistas

A presente dissertação estuda uma feira nordestina, a Feira de são Cristóvao, situada na zona norte do Rio de Janeiro e que se realiza há mais de trinta anos. Mostra o surgimento desta Feira como vinculado ao fenômeno das migrações nordestinas para as grandes cidades do Centro-Sul nos primeiros anos da década de 50. Reconstitui a história da Feira onde se evidencia a existência de formas associativas. Estas, disputaram entre si, através de mecanismos autoritários, o domínio e a exploração da Feira até a sua legalização em 1982. Focaliza a maneira como o nordestino migrante se apropriou do espaço da Feira, registrando as principais características desse espaço. Discute o significado de paraiba e nortista. Paraiba, denominação de cunho depreciativo, é dada ao migrante originário do Nordeste pelos demais habitantes da cidade; nortista, é a autodenominação que o nordestino se atribui para sua identificação. Analisa, como uma das manifestações específicas da Feira, a produção e venda da comida regional. Esta é produzida através de práticas e técnicas sedimentadas na educação do senso comum caracterizando um tipo de saber que é próprio das classes populares. Finalmente, trata de conhecer e interpretar a Feira de São Cristóvão como um espaço de expressão da cultura popular que contribui no processo de reconstrução da identidade do nordestino na cidade que o batizou de paraíba.

Caminho possível para o desenvolvimento do RN: a utopia do Polo Gás Sal

La présente étude sur la modernisation économique qui s est opérée dans le Rio Grande do Norte, constitue un débat concernant les tentatives de faire aboutir un projet de développement industriel fondé sur l exploitation des matières premières locales telles que le sel, le calcaire, les eaux mères et le pétrole, entre les années 70 et 90 du XXe siècle. Elle cherche à montrer, à partir de l observation de l action planifiée de l État national et régional, soutenu par le capital international et par les groupes économiques et politiques locaux, comment on a tenté d implanter, dans des conjonctures économiques distinctes, une industrie d intrants de base moyennant la création de deux pôles de développement : le Pólo Químico Industrial (1974) et le Pólo Gás Sal (1996). Elle est centrée sur l analyse des actions orientées vers la concrétisation de ces pôles, et prendra pour objet les politiques de développement émanant de l État national, en particulier celles qui relevaient du II PND et qui visaient, au cours des années 70, à l implantation d une industrie décentralisée dans la région Nordeste ; les règles fixées par le Plano Nacional de Desestatizações, destinées à promouvoir les privatisations des entreprises publiques brésiliennes, lesquelles ont rendu possible la vente d Alcanorte au groupe industriel commandé par Fragoso Pires, et les politiques définies par l État national et régional, rassemblées sous le titre de « guerre fiscale » afin d attirer des capitaux internationaux susceptibles de rendre viable le Pólo Gás Sal. Il y est démontré que l État a coordonné un ensemble d actions dans les domaines de l infrastructure et des exonérations fiscales et financières, dans le but d accélérer la transition d une économie primaire et exportatrice vers une économie moderne, industrialisée. Et que le concours simultané de forces économiques et sociales particulièrement expressives le capital national et international, les élites locales n a pas suffi pour promouvoir la modernisation industrielle escomptée des secteurs chimique et pétrochimique. Parmi les différentes raisons qui ont contribué à un tel échec, on peut mentionner : l absence d une accumulation interne préalable de capital ; la dépendance de l économie locale par rapport à la technologie et au capital des groupes économiques internationaux ; l inconsistance des stratégies de développement relevant de la politique qui caractérisait la « guerre fiscale », et la fragilité de la représentation politique locale

O apoiador caipira: o desafio/arte de articular redes regionais a partir de territórios/desejos singulares

Considering the experience taken from the institutional support given by the Humanization’s Brazilian Policy in three health’s regions in São Paulo State, Brazil, this text intends to expose some problems refering to the articulation process of other health’s regional networks mainly composed by cities with less than twenty thousands inhabitants. By problematizing the articulation of inlad health’s networks it is put on the agenda the process of descentraliztion and the interfederaditive relations emphasizing the political and institutional aspects that goes through and modulates these relations, mainly in the small cities. Thus, we are questioning the ways how the current health policies are implemented in these territories and the way how they are articulated, having as a goal the challenge of the process’ ascendance and transversality.
