En torno al Segundo Tratado del Gobierno Civil de John Locke : Seminario de Actualización Filosófica.

Este documento recoge materiales de Filosofía para aplicar a los temarios, elaborados en el Seminario de Actualización Filosófica que se desarrolla en la Universidad de Alcalá de Henares, con el apoyo del Centro de Profesores de la localidad. Los nueve textos tratan sobre la obra de Locke sobre el gobierno civil: El enigma de John Locke; El Segundo Tratado de Locke en la Historia de la Filosofía; Locke y la política de su tiempo; La obediencia al poder político; El hombre como propietario según Locke; Estado de naturaleza; Una teoría del origen y desarrollo de la sociedad, el Estado de Naturaleza en John Locke; Individuo y Estado en Hobbes; El problema de la tolerancia en Locke.

Alumnos y alumnas de tres años empiezan a aprender un idioma nuevo en las aulas. Esta enseñanza de idiomas desde edades tempranas se manifiesta como la mejor fórmula para favorecer el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera, en un ambiente donde los más pequeños sienten el placer de escuchar y practicar, aprendiendo a través del juego.

A igual cidadania na filosofia política de John Rawls

Neste artigo pretendemos mostrar que a reflexão política de Rawls sobre a natureza e o âmbito dos princípios de justiça em sociedades caracterizadas pelo pluralismo de fins tem como problema de fundo determinar como nelas se pode justificar o ideal da igual cidadania democrática.

Understanding safety and production risks in rail engineering planning and protection

Much of the published human factors work on risk is to do with safety and within this is concerned with prediction and analysis of human error and with human reliability assessment. Less has been published on human factors contributions to understanding and managing project, business, engineering and other forms of risk and still less jointly assessing risk to do with broad issues of ‘safety’ and broad issues of ‘production’ or ‘performance’. This paper contains a general commentary on human factors and assessment of risk of various kinds, in the context of the aims of ergonomics and concerns about being too risk averse. The paper then describes a specific project, in rail engineering, where the notion of a human factors case has been employed to analyse engineering functions and related human factors issues. A human factors issues register for potential system disturbances has been developed, prior to a human factors risk assessment, which jointly covers safety and production (engineering delivery) concerns. The paper concludes with a commentary on the potential relevance of a resilience engineering perspective to understanding rail engineering systems risk. Design, planning and management of complex systems will increasingly have to address the issue of making trade-offs between safety and production, and ergonomics should be central to this. The paper addresses the relevant issues and does so in an under-published domain – rail systems engineering work.
