Gravitational rescue of minimal gauge mediation

Gravity mediated supersymmetry breaking becomes comparable to gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking contributions when messenger masses are close to the GUT scale. By suitably arranging the gravity contributions, one can modify the soft supersymmetry breaking sector to generate a large stop mixing parameter and a light Higgs mass of 125 GeV. In this kind of hybrid models, however, the nice features of gauge mediation like flavor conservation, etc. are lost. To preserve the nice features, gravitational contributions should become important for lighter messenger masses and should be important only for certain fields. This is possible when the hidden sector contains multiple (at least two) spurions with hierarchical vacuum expectation values. In this case, the gravitational contributions can be organized to be ``just right.'' We present a complete model with two spurion hidden sector where the gravitational contribution is from a warped flavor model in a Randall-Sundrum setting. Along the way, we present simple expressions to handle renormalization group equations when supersymmetry is broken by two different sectors at two different scales.

Gestión y negociación intercultural

El objetivo principal de este trabajo de fin de grado es analizar la cultura de la región del País Vasco y Francia, a través de encuestas y entrevistas a un colectivo homogéneo, con el fin de obtener información sobre ellas y de este modo poder analizar sus efectos en las técnicas de gestión, liderazgo y negociación de cada sociedad.

Intercultural leadership and negotiation

This project will examine cultural differences and dimensions and how they affect negotiations and intercultural management. It is necessary to consider that the cultural characteristics of each society, which in turn is made of different individuals, make intercultural relations complex and with many subtleties. We will apply these proposals to draw a comparison between Spain and two Southeast Asian countries: India and Sri Lanka using Hofstede’s cultural dimensions.This project will examine cultural differences and dimensions and how they affect negotiations and intercultural management.

Intercultural Management and Leadership in the Context of Language Academies

Throughout this undergraduate thesis, a study of intercultural management and leadership will be carried out with a special focus on language academies. We begin by analyzing the importance of cultural values and their effects on the perception of a leader. We then study the role of Strategic Human Resources Management in an intercultural environment. Finally, as an original contribution to this thesis, an investigation is performed that examines three local language academies and their management practices. After reviewing the findings, we hope to propose a sort of ‘best practices’ for language academies that could lead to a more harmonious relationship between teachers and their managers.

Direito Penal Intercultural: possibilidades filosóficas e dogmáticas caso específico Direito Penal Econômico

O presente trabalho parte das concepções morais de Kant sobre o imperativo categórico, sua ideia de punir e a noção de cosmopolitismo, como uma forma de integrar os povos nos mais diversos cantos através de parâmetros racionais, visando alcançar o que o filósofo denomina de Paz Perpétua. O pós kantiano Hoffe é tomado como base para um modelo de Direito Intercultural, no qual, os cidadãos são unidos por valores universais em torno de pretensões comuns. Neste contexto emerge o Direito Penal Intercultural como forma de se consagrar bens comuns, através da tipificação de delitos que representam preceitos éticos globais, os quais merecem ser tutelados por estarem associados a direitos humanos. Nesta sociedade moderna marcada por grandes transformações em diversos setores, como decorrência da globalização, fala-se em uma nova área criminal, qual seja, o Direito Penal Econômico, trazendo crimes existentes em qualquer lugar do mundo, como as infrações tributárias, praticadas por criminosos de colarinho branco. A impunidade destes crimes é um fator notório. Em razão de tal fato e, por questões de justiça e solidariedade defende-se um modelo criminal de punição, que tem uma fundamentação moral e se mostra aplicável em qualquer país, independentemente de suas especificidades locais. Para tal é necessário uma releitura dos paradigmas tradicionais do Direito Penal e uma maior eticização de suas normas, proporcionando o que se chama Direito Penal Intercultural.

A module-based approach to foster and document the intercultural process before and during the residence abroad.

This article contributes to the debate on what form of preparation and support can enhance the intercultural student experience during the Year Abroad. It presents a credit-bearing and multi-modal module at a UK university designed to both prepare students prior to departure through a series of workshops and activities on an e-portfolio and help them engage in meta-reflection on intercultural issues during their stay. The presentation of the curricular components of the course and instances extracted from student blogs are contextualised within theoretical considerations on intercultural education and a holistic approach to student development. The longitudinal evolution of the module is presented in the context of an iterative approach leading to a cycle of revisions and amendments. With its pragmatic stance this article aims to address one of the concerns recently expressed about intercultural education, namely that although intercultural theories are suitably incorporated in the latest thinking on communicative competence, there is a lack of evidence-based practice.

Hacia una educación intercultural: diversidad y convivencia en un centro de Pamplona

“Hacia una educación intercultural: diversidad y convivencia en un centro de Pamplona” es un trabajo que hace un recorrido por la sociedad multicultural actual y pretende acercar la experiencia multicultural vivida en un colegio del barrio de San Jorge de Pamplona. Este trabajo se centra en la interculturalidad como realidad social y la educación intercultural como elementos fundamentales para convivir desde la comunicación y el intercambio cultural. Ante los cambios sociales producidos en España debido a la inmigración, la escuela se ha visto inmersa en un proceso de cambio. La educación intercultural encuentra una respuesta positiva ante esta nueva realidad y, mediante el trabajo, podemos hacernos una idea de cómo se está viviendo este cambio y qué supone para el sistema educativo.
