El creyente religioso como un animal esperanzado: Wittgenstein y la creencia religiosa

Este trabajo pretende hacer una terapia, propia de la metodología sugerida por el segundo Wittgenstein, respecto de la visión que sostiene a la creencia religiosa como una creencia cuyo contenido es empírico, proponiendo que dicha visión debe ser disuelta y dando como posibilidad en cambio una nueva analogía que lleve a su comprensión a través de contextos de esperanza.

Demarcación teórica del optimismo y la resiliencia en el contexto de capital psicológico.

En este estudio se describe el constructo del Capital Psicológico y se hace el análisis de sus respectivos componentes; enfocándose en los conceptos de Optimismo y Resiliencia, con el fin de encontrar y demarcar teóricamente las diferencias que existen entre estos dos componentes. A consecuencia de la frecuente confusión entre estos dos términos en el ámbito académico, surge el interés de encontrar y analizar diferentes estudios e investigaciones que se hayan hecho hasta el momento, las cuales logren resaltar dichas diferencias, para aplicar este conocimiento a las personas con el fin de brindarles una mejor calidad de vida en el ámbito personal y profesional. La autoeficacia, en contextos organizacionales, hace referencia a la convicción y confianza con la que cuenta un trabajador, sobre sus habilidades para trabajar su motivación, teniendo en cuenta recursos cognitivos y/o cursos de acción necesarios para proyectar y completar exitosamente una prueba específica de su vida. El optimismo, se estudia como aquel estilo de pensamiento explicativo, que carga los eventos positivos a causas internas, continuas y penetrantes, y los eventos negativos a razones externas. Por otro lado, la esperanza es la capacidad de todo ser humano para llevar a cabo acciones que lo orienten a una meta deseada, a través de la propia motivación y el pensamiento seguro y positivo. Por último, la Resiliencia es tener la capacidad de recobrar frente a la adversidad, el fracaso, o incluso cambios efectivos que pueden parecer opresores.

Kant en los problemas de filosofía de la mente contemporánea entre D. Davidson y J. Kim: un argumento a favor del Monismo Anómalo

El Monismo Anómalo que Donald Davidson postuló como posible derrotero a propósito de los problemas latentes en filosofía de la mente contemporánea ha sido víctima de serias críticas, en especial aquellas planteadas por Jaegwon Kim. Sin embargo, una lectura que incluya las referencia que Davidson hizo del proyecto que Kant desarrolló en la Tercera Antinomia de la Razón Pura puede servir para ofrecer una lectura a favor de su proyecto.

Skilloscopy: Bayesian modeling of decision makers' skill

This paper proposes and demonstrates an approach, Skilloscopy, to the assessment of decision makers. In an increasingly sophisticated, connected and information-rich world, decision making is becoming both more important and more difficult. At the same time, modelling decision-making on computers is becoming more feasible and of interest, partly because the information-input to those decisions is increasingly on record. The aims of Skilloscopy are to rate and rank decision makers in a domain relative to each other: the aims do not include an analysis of why a decision is wrong or suboptimal, nor the modelling of the underlying cognitive process of making the decisions. In the proposed method a decision-maker is characterised by a probability distribution of their competence in choosing among quantifiable alternatives. This probability distribution is derived by classic Bayesian inference from a combination of prior belief and the evidence of the decisions. Thus, decision-makers’ skills may be better compared, rated and ranked. The proposed method is applied and evaluated in the gamedomain of Chess. A large set of games by players across a broad range of the World Chess Federation (FIDE) Elo ratings has been used to infer the distribution of players’ rating directly from the moves they play rather than from game outcomes. Demonstration applications address questions frequently asked by the Chess community regarding the stability of the Elo rating scale, the comparison of players of different eras and/or leagues, and controversial incidents possibly involving fraud. The method of Skilloscopy may be applied in any decision domain where the value of the decision-options can be quantified.

Avaliação da estratégia saúde da família na capital potiguar

This research aimed to evaluate the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, through its managers, professionals and users, having as its support the Theory of Belief and the Cognitive-Behavioral Theory. This is a multimethod research and is divided into three sub-studies. In the first study, nine managers answered to a semi-structured interview, to verify the knowledge and beliefs on SUS; the quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics with the aid of SPSS software and the qualitative data were submitted to lexical analysis with support of ALCESTE software. In the second study, we have a descriptive correlational research in which the antecedent variables are related to working conditions in the family health units (FHUs) and to the professionals‟ profile; the corresponding variables refer to the evaluations of the FHS; a stratified probabilistic sample with 475 professionals, who answered to two scales, both consisting of three factors: Physical infrastructure, Material resources, and Treatment effectiveness, and data were analyzed using descriptive, bivariate and multivariate statistics, with the aid of SPSS. The third study is a descriptive correlational research in which the antecedent variables refer to the treatment in the FHUs and to the users‟ profile, and the corresponding variables refer to the evaluations of the FHS, with a stratified non-probabilistic sample with 390 users, who contributed to the construction of a new scale with a factor, effectiveness in treatment, analyzed through descriptive, bivariate and multivariate statistics, with the aid of SPSS. The results showed problems which start from management, under the shape of admission due to political indication and lack of knowledge on SUS and the FHS; they pass through the low tenure of professionals and insufficient professional; and they end up spreading all over the analyzed items: infrastructure of FHUs, material resources, professionals‟ training, accessibility and referral system. One concludes that, despite following an ideal model, the FHS is in need of changes with regard to the barriers to its operational reality
