Las capacidades ético discursivas como capacidades para el reconocimiento recíproco: bases de un modelo de desarrollo humano

Je défends actuellement trois capacités éthiques et discursives en faveur de la réalisation des êtres humains: 1) La capacité de se comprendre soi-même ; 2) La capacité de faire reposer ses jugements sur un dialogue avec les personnes concernées ; 3) La capacité de mettre en oeuvre -avec autrui- les projets de justice convenus conjointement. Je les considère ici comme des capacités visant à la «reconnaissance mutuelle». Je soutiens que les types de relation à soi du sujet qui ont été définis par Axel Honneth complètent la capacité de se comprendre soi-même. Honneth propose également une idée de justice que la deuxième capacité mentionnée réexamine. Cependant, à partir de la troisième capacité, je remets en question le concept de «lutte» chez Honneth, en présentant les avantages de la coresponsabilité. Je montre ensuite que ces trois capacités peuvent constituer des indicateurs dans toutes les sphères de la société qui sont aux prises avec des questions éthiques importantes et je donne pour exemple le milieu des entreprises. Enfin, je défends une procédure qui vise à mesurer ces indicateurs au moyen de données concrètes. Cette procédure nous permettra d’estimer la grandeur éthique d’une société grâce à l’évaluation des «capacités éthiques» de ses citoyens.

Las capacidades ético-discursivas como capacidades para el reconocimiento recíproco: bases de un modelo de desarrollo humano

I defend three discourse ethical capabilities for human development: 1) Capability for selfunderstanding; 2) Capability to ground judgements in a dialogue with the affected; 3) Capability to carry out, with others, the justice projects agreed by common consent. Here I interpret them as capabilities for “reciprocal recognition.” I claim that the forms of selfrelation of the subject, defined by Axel Honneth, complement the capability for selfunderstanding. Honneth also offers an idea of justice that reviews the second mentioned capability. But I question the concept of “struggle” in Honneth from the perspective of the third capability, showing the advantages of co-responsibility. Then, I show that the three capabilities can be specified in indicators in each one of the spheres of the society where important ethical issues are confronted, and I give the example of what happens within the business sector. Finally, I defend a procedure to measure such indicators with concrete data. This procedure will allow us to evaluate the ethical level of a society evaluating the “ethical capabilities” of their citizens.

Modelo de avaliação competitiva de destinos turísticos com base nas capacidades dinâmicas

Over the past few decades, the phenomenon of competitiveness, and the underlying competitive advantage thereof, has been analyzed in diverse ways, in terms of its sources (external and internal environment) and competitive management strategies, as well as different scopes (nations, economic sectors and organizations) and fields of study (economy and organizational theory). Moreover, competitiveness is a complex phenomenon and, thus, reflected in the many methods and approaches which some frameworks have developed throughout the period to try to examine it in the tourism sector as well as other industries. In this research a framework for destinations is presented on the basis of dynamic capabilities. This is an important contribution to the research, since previous studies for the tourism sector have not approached this relevant aspect of the competitive development of tourist destinations, i.e. based on the capabilities of innovation, transformation, creation and research presents a competitive evaluation of the dynamic capabilities of tourist destinations, on the basis of 79 activities, distributed in eight , this work presents an empirical application of the framework in a sample of twenty Brazilian cities, considered, by the Brazilian Tourism Minister, as indicative tourist destinations for regional development. The results obtained from this evaluation were submitted to tests of statistical reliability and have demonstrated that the destinations possess heterogeneous levels of capabilities between themselves (different levels developed in the categories between the cities) and inside each destination (developed levels of capability between the categories of the destination). In other words: heterogeneity is not only between category to category.

Desempenho internacional de empresas exportadoras: um modelo estrutural baseado em capacidades organizacionais e ambiente

The internationalization as an organizational phenomenon fundamentally strategic had as theoretical contributions some Schools that throughout the decades 60, 70, and 80 developed behavioral and economic approaches in order to explain the process. The behavioral approach deals with the perception of phenomenon as a gradual process from the perspective of the executives behavior (JOHANSON and VAHLNE, 1977; HALLÉN and WIEDERSHEIM - PAUL, 1979; CZINKOTA, 1985). This phenomenon in permanent theoretical and managerial evolution made an opportunity to build this investigation, whose goal is to analyse the impact comes from organizational capabilities and the external environment on the international performance of exporting firms. For both, were used as theoretical basis two types of analysis for the comprehension of international performance: Strategic Management - Industrial Organization and Resource-Based View and International Businesses - Current Economic and Behavioral. It was made a cross-sectional survey-based explanatory research, including 150 exporting companies with operations in the Northeast of Brazil. A conceptual model was made with eight constructs and eight research hypotheses, representative of the effects of external factors on international performance. The data were processed using the Exploratory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. The structural equations model was reespecified and estimated through the use of the maximum-likelihood method up to achieve adequated values of indexes of adjustment. As the main theoretical contribution, were identified organizational and physical resources which shows the importance of the management skills development, of the learning capability and capability to establish strategic alliances abroad. That because the knowledge, as the operational point of view as in its strategic application, offers to organization conditions of market positioning which can create opportunities sustainable competitive advantages and which impact the performance of international companies

Efeito do modelo de periodização com cargas seletivas sobre capacidades motoras durante um mesociclo preparatório em jogadores de futsal

The aim of this study was to verify the effect of selective loads model in professional futsal players, during a preparatory mesocycle. Nine futsal professional players (23±2 anos), from the team of Federation Paulista of soccer indoor championship, composed the sample, characterized by intentional. The players were evaluated in two moments although of a preparatory mesocycle, microcycle 2 (PRE) and microcycle 7 (POS), by the tests of intermittent aerobic fitness, horizontal jump, one leg triple jump, velocity of 15m, agility and anaerobic power. The statistical analysis included the Student-t and Wilxocon tests (P<0.05). The results of horizontal jump, intermittent aerobic fitness and medium power improved, the velocity at 15 m decreased. The select loads model is a good option for the periodization to preparatory mesocycle in futsal.

Estudio de las capacidades físicas específicas de la escalada de dificultad. Modelo de planificación para la Copa del Mundo 2013

Hasta hace poco tiempo, la escalada estaba muy vinculada al montañismo y no se concebía la posibilidad de desarrollar métodos y formas de entrenamiento más allá de la propia actividad. Es la aparición de la escalada deportiva lo que permite una visión más relacionada con el deporte, visión que se afianza con la aparición de las competiciones a finales de los años ochenta. A partir de entonces se puede hablar de entrenamiento para escalada. Este entrenamiento se basa en el desarrollo de las capacidades físicas a nivel específico para la mejora del rendimiento. Un escalador debe entrenar en gran porcentaje la fuerza, la resistencia y la flexibilidad sobre el rocódromo para que la ganancia en estas capacidades sea de la forma más específica posible y transferible al gesto competitivo. Otras formas de entrenar, como el aeróbico general o la musculación se ven como trabajo complementario. Según el tipo de escalada deberán desarrollarse distintos tipos de fuerza y de resistencia, aunque todos los tipos deben trabajarse en el proceso de entrenamiento. En la competición de dificultad, las vías energéticas predominantes son las anaeróbica láctica (tolerancia al lactato) y la aeróbica (potencia). El proceso de entrenamiento debe tender al desarrollo de estas, como al desarrollo de la fuerza específica.

El modelo de apoyo a las personas con capacidades modificadas judicialmente según Naciones Unidas

Este artículo se basa en una investigación social sobre el sistema de protección jurídica de las personas con algún tipo de discapacidad o en situación de dependencia que se encuentran sometidas a las figuras de tutela o curatela, en aplicación de lo previsto y establecido en el Código Civil Español, en sus artículos 199 y 200, así como en la Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil. La investigación se plantea como un estudio comparado entre diferentes países de la Unión Europea para ver su adecuación a lo establecido en el artículo 12 de la Convención de Naciones Unidas sobre derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad (en adelante, CDPD) en los procedimientos de incapacitación. Los resultados se analizan sobre la base de modelos técnico-sociales de intervención, los análisis jurídicos y la experiencia adquirida por las Fundación Tutelares de Castilla y León. Se proponen y diseñan algunas alternativas y servicios que pueden mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas adultas incapacitadas judicialmente y el tipo de apoyos que se les puede prestar, de acuerdo a lo establecido en la Convención de Naciones Unidas.
