El establecimiento y expansión de la misión evangélica The Christian and Missionary Alliance en el sur de Chile (1897-1905)
Authors: Escobar Sepúlveda Darío , Núñez Paula Gabriela
Published: February 2021

Este artículo explora el establecimiento misional de la misión evangélica The Christian and Missionary Alliance, de origen estadounidense, en el sur de Chile. Indaga en la construcción de un territorio de fe, a la luz de la integración socioespacial resuelta en torno a este culto. La hipótesis que guía este trabajo apunta a que para investigar el establecimiento de una misión religiosa se debe problematizar tanto en el movimiento como en las marcas territoriales de esta, en diálogo con la propuesta teológica que busca expandir. Se observa aquí que a partir del establecimiento efectivo de la misión evangélica, se modificaron la modalidad pastoral y sus marcas.
Grupo de referencia etario, régimen simbólico y religiosidad. La religiosidad como sistema abierto de creencias en estudiantes universitarios
Authors: Sánchez García Olivia , Plascencia Martínez Fernando , Bernal Guzmán Luis Gerardo
Published: February 2021

En este artículo, sus autores pretenden mostrar la relación entre el grupo de referencia etario de estudiantes de licenciatura de la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes y la religiosidad como sistema abierto de creencias opuesto a la religión institucional, expresada como forma del régimen simbólico diurno, en el sentido de Gilbert Durand. Se parte de la teoría de los grupos de referencia, la antropología de la imaginación y la sociología, y la antropología de la religión, para formar un modelo teórico que otorgue sentido a datos recopilados mediante la encuesta cuantitativa muestral, la entrevista cualitativa por muestreo intencional de máxima variedad y autoetnografías, en levantamientos de información realizados en diversos momentos de un proyecto de investigación sobre estudiantes de licenciatura. También se aborda la incidencia de los grupos de referencia en su rendimiento escolar, en el que se contempla la religión como una dimensión relevante del capital simbólico y la modelación de la conducta. Los resultados muestran la construcción de un régimen simbólico denominado nocturno en la antropología de la imaginación, con raíces grupales etarias de naturaleza abierta, tolerante e inclusiva, el cual es reactivo a toda forma de exclusión, discriminación y represión, que da lugar a diversas formas expresivas, entre ellas la religiosidad según la concibe la sociología de la religión de Ferrarotti (1993).
A Comparative Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy between Dexmedetomidine and Midazolam Infusions for Procedural Sedation during Septoplasty
Authors: Sundar Siyam , Jahagirdar Sameera M , Kumar VR Hemanth , Krishnaveni N
Published: February 2021

Background:

Septoplasty is often performed under sedation with local anesthesia. Midazolam is one of the commonly used sedative but it lacks analgesic effect. Dexmedetomidine is now preferred, owing to the side effects of midazolam. However, there seems to be addressable literature void in this regard. This study was aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of sedation between midazolam and dexmedetomidine infusions for procedural sedation during septoplasty under local anesthesia

Patients and Methods:

This was a randomized clinical trial involving sixty patients undertaking elective septoplasty under local anesthesia randomized into Group A that received intravenous dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg over 10 min, followed by continuous infusion 0.5 μg/kg/h and Group B receiving intravenous midazolam 50 μg/kg (over 10 min), followed by continuous infusion 50 μg/kg/h. The Ramsay sedation score (RSS) and patient and surgeon satisfaction scores were documented. The analysis was done using the Chi-square test and Student t-test.

Results:

A significant change in the heart rate from 10 to 60 min was observed between the two groups (P < 0.05). The midazolam group showed a significant increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) from baseline to 40 min time interval (P < 0.05). The respiratory rate remained constant in both groups. Patients attaining target RSS of 3–4 were significantly higher in the dexmedetomidine group (P < 0.05). Patient satisfaction score and surgeon satisfaction score were higher in the dexmedetomidine group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Dexmedetomidine for septoplasty under local anesthesia is more effective than midazolam infusion in providing adequate sedation and provides stable hemodynamics and well-preserved respiratory functions.

Published: February 2021

Background:

Hemispherotomy is the treatment of choice for children with refractory epilepsy. Although hemiplegia, sensory and motor impairments result from this surgical procedure, seizure control is effective as well as anticonvulsant dose reduction. Description of functional gains after rehabilitation of these children are still incomplete.

Aims:

To evaluate the effects of an early intensive rehabilitation program in the gross motor function of lower limbs after 30, 90, 180 and 360 days of surgery for the treatment of epilepsy (hemispherotomy), and compare to historic controls.

Materials and Methods:

prospective and longitudinal case series, with historic controls. Fourteen out of sixteen children who underwent hemispherotomy from January 2012 to February 2013 received an early rehabilitation protocol (ERP). Functional assessment included the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Fugl-Meyer Scale (FMS) lower limb subscale, and Gross Motor Function System of Classification (GMFCS), as well as the need of wheelchairs and walking aids. A historical group of 13 children who received a conventional rehabilitation protocol (CRP) was used as control.

Results:

FMS and BBS improved in ERP subjects until 6 months after surgery and reached a plateau. One year after hemispherotomy, all children in the ERP group could walk independently and had mild limitations to mobility whereas, among those in the CRP subjects, there was a higher prevalence of musculoskeletal deformities and severe gait restrictions.

Conclusions:

ERP promotes rapid functional recovery during one-year follow-up and, as compared to the CRP group, the average functional capacity of the ERP group was considerably higher. These data support the beneficial effects of a specific, individualized and early rehabilitation approach for such patients.
A Call to Develop Standardized Guidelines for Treatment of Spasticity
Authors: Qureshi Ahmad Zaheer
Published: February 2021

Due to the lack of understanding of spasticity across different medical disciplines, the approach and treatment strategies vary considerably among clinicians. This is further disjointed in health systems around the world due to differences in training, resources and infrastructure. Spasticity guidelines available in the literature mainly focus on clinical or specialized aspects of care. The vast majority of patients in the community across the world do not have access to specialized treatment of spasticity. To meet these requirements, this article calls for professional organizations to take the initiative at the international level to develop guidelines by involving stakeholders across different levels of health systems.

Authors: Cavalcante Tavares Jorge Henrique , Sturzeneker Guilherme , Morales Melina Correia , Belfort Rubens N.
Published: February 2021

The purpose of the study is to report a case of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) related to choroidal osteoma treated with intravitreal injections of bevacizumab. This was a case report in which antivascular endothelial growth factor intravitreal injections were used to treat choroidal osteoma-related CNV. A 27-year-old man with a history of blurred vision in his left eye for 15 days presented best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/60. Fundus examination, ultrasonography, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography revealed a nasal and superior juxtapapillary choroidal osteoma with a choroidal neovascular membrane, associated with serous retinal detachment affecting the macula. After three intravitreal injections of bevacizumab, the patient improved to a BCVA of 20/30 and partial resolution of subretinal fluid. Choroidal osteoma with CNV may present a good response to bevacizumab therapy.

Migracije niso le selitve z enega prostora na drugega, motivirane z zaslužkom, ljubeznijo, vojno, avanturo, kar raziskujejo različne vede že precej časa, temveč so povezane s spreminjanjem posameznika, ki se seli. To pa vključuje spreminjanje znanja, samopodobe, mentalnih vzorcev, vrednot in vsakdanjih praks. Prav zato postajajo migracije tudi izziv za andragogiko (prim.

Authors: Kurfi Mainasara Yakubu , Msughter Msughter Eric , Mohamed Idris
Published: February 2021

Misinformation becomes rampant in the digital age and social media provide people with the opportunities for engaging more actively in society. The objectives of the study are: (i) to ascertain the extent to which residents of Kano have been exposed to digital images on Covid-19 that often accompany fake news in social media; (ii) to establish the extent to which residents of Kano are influenced by fake news on Covid-19 with images; (iii) to find out the factors that often lead to the influence of fake news with digital images on Covid-19 among social media users in Kano; (iv) to ascertain the social media platforms mostly used in spreading fake news about Covid-19 in the state. Theoretically, Technological Determinism and Perception theories were adopted to analyze these issues. A Positivist approach to data generation and analysis was adopted using the survey method. Two local governments were selected for the study: Tarauni and Kano Municipal. Tarauni local government area had the highest number of the Covid-19 cases, while Kano Municipal had the lowest number. The population of the study consist of 593,087 with a sample size of 400 respondents derived from Taro Yamane’s sample size prediction table. The respondents were reached through cluster sampling. A total of 400 copies of questionnaires were administered to respondents in Tarauni and Kano Municipal. However, only 385 copies, which represent (96%), were retrieved and found usable for the study as the remaining 15 were not returned. The study found that Kano residents were significantly exposed to digital images that often accompany fake news in social media. They read news online every day, prefer news accompanied by images, share and like news online. The study also found that Kano residents are influenced by fake news with digital images on Covid-19 to a very great extent, especially on Facebook. Factors responsible for proliferation of fake news on social media include: perception or instinct, eagerness to be the first to share images and lack of knowledge about image verification tools. The study concludes that ignorance and the old belief that pictures do not lie were responsible for this.
Приватное и публичное в цифровом пространстве: размывание границ
Authors: Trufanova Elena O.
Published: February 2021

В статье анализируются изменения, происходящие с частной жизнью человека под воздействием современных цифровых коммуникационных технологий. Объектом исследования выступает проблема соотношения приватной и публичной сфер человеческой жизни в рамках современной системы цифровых коммуникаций в ее взаимодействии с офлайн-миром. Показывается, что выделение сферы приватного и нормы соблюдения границ этой сферы возникают в ходе истории человечества постепенно; осознание необходимости охраны приватного и юридическое закрепление права на неприкосновенность частной жизни формируются лишь к концу XIX в. Демонстрируется, что в связи с прогрессом в сфере информационных технологий сформированных ранее систем защиты приватного оказывается недостаточно. На современном этапе развития цифровых технологий происходит тесное переплетение офлайн- и онлайн-жизни человека, в котором его манифестации в Интернете начинают играть не меньшую роль, чем его действия в материальном мире. Происходит расширение личностной идентичности человека, ее дополнение цифровыми или сетевыми идентификациями. В этой ситуации по-новому встает проблема приватности – не только с точки зрения защиты информации о пользователе от несанкционированного доступа извне, но с точки зрения рассмотрения личных страниц пользователя, его профилей в социальных сетях, в качестве приватных. В то время как человек считает свою страницу в соцсети своим приватным пространством, внешние пользователи оценивают ее как пространство публичного: следствием этого оказываются разного рода конфликты. Неправильно оценивая границы приватного пространства в Сети, многие люди позволяют себе поступки и высказывания, которые из-за смешения сфер публичного и приватного становятся заметными онлайн-событиями, способными повлиять на офлайн-жизнь. Показывается, что в современной Сети любое высказывание может оказаться в фокусе внимания множества людей, и автор высказывания попадет в ситуацию ответственности за свои слова перед всем миром. Неспособность справиться с подобной тотальной ответственностью может вести к отказу от ответственности как таковой, что чревато не только личностными, но и глобальными социальными кризисами.

Authors: Akhter Naseem , Munir Arshad
Published: February 2021

The basic characteristics and moral values of Islamic society include peace, harmony, brotherhood, equality, justice, respect and tolerance. Islam advises humans to spend their life according to the characteristics of Islamic society. The word ‘ethic’ brings harmony in the spiritual and physical attributes of a person. Islamic system preaches good moral values and indicates ways to avoid ill-mannered behavior. An individual with good moral values reflects good faith and blessings of Almighty Allah. But the studies show that Pakistani society and especially the youngsters are growing up without proper training & teachings about ethics and moral values. This research work aims to explain the need for ethical teachings in Islamic society. Quantitative method has been used in this study. Two hundred questionnaires have been filled by the three Universities’ students. The opinion of the students has been presented through SPSS in tabular forms and figures. According to this fieldwork, the majority of students had a lack of training related to ethical values from home to institutions, due to which we are facing ill-mannered behavior in Universities. This research work may be significant for its specific theme and research background; hence it can be used for the benefit of the policy makers, the scholars and the readers at large.

غیر مسلموں کے حقوق  اور انسانی جان کی حرمت : عہدِنبویﷺو خلفائےراشدین کی روشنی میں

Islam guarantees the protection of life, property, honour, and dignity of all the members of society, regardless of their religion, colour, race or ethnicity. Sanctity of human life is the fundamental issue and Islam emphasized on it the most. Holy Quran declared the murder of a single person as the killing of all humanity. Islam always secured the rights of non-Muslims. Protecting the lives, dignity and property of non-Muslim living in an Islamic state is a duty of a Muslims in general and the Islamic State in particular. The manner in which the rights of non-Muslims were protected in the era of the Prophet (S.A.W) and the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs is unprecedented. The Prophet (S.A.W) gave this protection constitutional and legal status through his teachings and practice. Our Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) declared that “The one who killed any Dhmmī would not get the fragrance of Paradise though its fragrance can be sensed at a distance of forty years journey”. In the era of the righteous caliphs, the rights of non-Muslims were also safeguarded. This article is a description of the rights of non-Muslims with reference to the sanctity of human life in Islam. It also throws light on the unique teachings of Islam regarding the fundamental rights of minorities in the period of the Prophet and the Rightly Guided Caliphs. A descriptive and analytical research methodology will be used in this research to obtain results and recommendations. The expected results and recommendations of the study will guide the Muslims and non-Muslims to harmonize the social set up around the globe.
Aristotle’s Virtue of Justice as an Ethical Solution to Political Corruption: Analysis and Reflection
Authors: Kuhumba Kevin Shijja
Published: February 2021

This paper attempts to discuss Aristotle’s concept of justice as an ethical solution to political corruption. The goal of this paper is to present corruption as a form of injustice that deprives the majority from a common good. This paper is very important because it provides ethical solution to grand corruption whereby unscrupulous individuals divert funds meant for development of the entire society into private hands. Due to grand corruption the poor masses are deprived of quality basic needs. The paper focuses on corruption as an immoral act through the lens of Aristotle’s ethical and political insights. The virtue of justice in Aristotle’s ethical and political works are spelled out. The methodology used in this paper is analytical and applied. It is analytical because it analyses Aristotle’s understanding of virtue of justice in his moral theory especially in his book entitled Nicomachean Ethics and justice in his political theory. Finally, the paper makes subsequent applications of Aristotle’s virtue of justice in the realm of ethical solutions to the problem of corruption.

El Sacramento de la Penitencia como fuente de la misericordia
Authors: Pastor de los Cobos Vicente , Gómez García Enrique
Published: February 2021

Tras el Concilio de Trento prolifera la literatura contrarreformista que aborda la manera de confesarse. La juridización de este sacramento y las controversias establecidas entre protestantes y católicos, jansenistas y ortodoxos, contricionistas y atricionistas, exigían cierta claridad para administrar válidamente un sacramento en cierta medida magificado y expuesto a la escrupulosidad. Al final de sus días, Pastor de los Cobos escribió una muestra de ello, en la que, amén de traslucir los tópicos teológicos del momento, presenta la Penitencia como un acontecimiento de misericordia divina, subraya su procesualidad e incluso barrunta lo que se puede denominar causalidad intencional del sacramento.

Published: February 2021

In the era of globalization which is laden with competition, good service quality is a concern for companies that want to continue to exist, especially companies in the service sector such as banks in Indonesia. Institutions with low service quality will be less desirable or even abandoned by customers. Therefore, identification of service quality characteristics is needed in an effort to improve service quality. One of them is the teller who plays the most important role in customer service. Of course the selection of the best tellers must be done as well as possible. Based on these problems, the PSI method used in this study is to determine the teller by considering aspects of the determination that has been determined by the Bank. The aspects of determination which are the basis of determination by the Bank in determining the best teller are attitude, skill and appearance. By using the PSI method it is expected to be able to assist the leadership of the CIMB Niaga Bank in determining the teller process so that it is faster and more effective.

The Dynamic Progression of the Redenomination and Sovereign Risk in the Price Discovery Process of Italian Banks’ CDSs
Authors: Cinefra Francesca , Anelli Michele , Patanè Michele , Gioia Alessio
Published: February 2021

The recent global financial crisis and the subsequent sovereign debt crisis of the Eurozone peripheral countries have generated historic levels of volatility and instability in the financial markets. In particular, during the sovereign debt crisis market operators have begun to focus on the so-called “redenomination risk”, that is the hypothesis of exit from the EMU (Euro Monetary Union) by one or more countries and the consequent redenomination of their debt in the past national currency. This type of risk constitutes a form of additional credit risk premium due to expected systemic failure of the Eurozone. The effects of the economic-financial crisis, the weak economic growth and the political instability that have characterized especially the Italian system in recent years provide the ideal starting point to analyze the evolution of the redenomination risk in the pricing process of the Italian banks’ CDSs (Credit Default Swaps).
The contribution of this work is to evaluate the dynamic evolution of sovereign and redenomination risk in the price discovery process of the Italian banks’ CDS spreads (or premia) by using rolling window regressions. Results show that redenomination risk explains a great part of the variance in the CDS spreads during periods of financial distress. The sovereign risk component explains a large part of the variance for almost the entire considered period.

Financial Engineering and Financial Performance of Deposit Taking Savings and Credit Co-operative Societies in Kenya.
Authors: Kiprotich Charles , Onsomu Zipporah
Published: February 2021

The study explores the effect of financial engineering on financial performance of
deposit taking Savings and Credit Co-operative Societies (SACCOs) in Kenya.
Population constituted of 163 SACCOs and a sample of 45 was considered. The
results depicted that SACCOs have adopted financial engineering practices in three
forms: product engineering, process engineering and financial solutions engineering.
In terms of their effect on performance, only process engineering was found to have
a positive and significant relationship with financial performance. Product
engineering and financial solutions engineering were found to have a positive but
insignificant relationship was obtained. The study recommends that SACCOS
should adopt financial engineering practices so as to improve their performance.
More focus should be on process engineering. As such, SACCOs should automate
their operations, adopt paperless services, use mobile banking services platform,
use electronic funds transfer and install ATMs so as to improve their performance.
In terms of control variables, the amount of loans were found to positively and
significantly influence financial performance. As such, SACCOs should strive to

Didikan Allah Kepada Bangsa Israel Menurut Kitab Hakim-Hakim
Authors: Belo Yosia
Published: February 2021

Abstract: The Book of Judges is a book that is paradoxical. Because in it there are several historical stories of the Israelites starting from the most famous and also the ones that are not well known. The book of Judges contains many interesting things, but also maybe a lot more disgusting things that the Israelites had done at that time, such as idolatry, adultery, civil war, mixed marriage, and so on. The teaching is simple, but difficult to understand, because in the book of Judges it shows the darkest sins of mankind, but in it the light of God's grace can be seen clearly. Based on the description above, teaching that comes from God is very necessary. It was useful to lead the Israelites on the right path or to bring the Israelites back to their God, who had freed them from slavery in Egypt and also gave them the land of Canaan as an inheritance. This article is an analysis and literature study, which describes some of the ways that God used to educate the Israelites who were corrupted by sin to become Israelites who obeyed God's Law.

Abstrak: Kitab Hakim-hakim adalah kitab yang bersifat paradoks. Oleh karena di dalamnya terdapat beberapa cerita sejarah bangsa Israel mulai dari yang paling terkenal serta yang juga yang tidak terkenal. Kitab Hakim-hakim mengandung banyak hal menarik, akan tetapi juga mungkin lebih banyak hal yang menjijikkan yang pernah dilakukan oleh bangsa Israel pada zaman itu, seperti penyembahan berhala, perzinahan, perang saudara, kawin campur, dan sebagainya. Pengajarannya sederhana, akan tetapi sulit untuk dimengerti, karena dalam kitab Hakim-hakim ini memperlihatkan dosa manusia yang paling hitam pekat, tetapi di dalamnya cahaya rahkmat Allah dapat dilihat dengan jelas. Berdasarkan uraian di atas, maka pengajaran yang bersumber dari pada Allah sangat diperlukan. Berguna untuk membawa bangsa Israel kepada jalan yang benar atau membawa kembali bangsa Israel kepada Allah mereka, yang telah membebaskan mereka dari perbudakan di Mesir serta juga memberikan tanah Kanaan kepada mereka sebagai milik pusaka. Artikel ini adalah sebuah analisis dan studi pustaka, yang memaparkan beberapa cara yang Allah gunakan untuk mendidik bangsa Israel yang telah rusak karena dosa menjadi bangsa Israel yang taat terhadap Taurat Tuhan.

Ethics in a multinational company environment is related to business problems, but the position of corporate partnership determines sustainable companies. The study aims to integrate the concept of social investment (SI) with state defense in multinational mining companies' environment. Social Investment (SI) business ethics as part of Corporate Citizenship (CC) has a different concept base. CSR for companies is an honest effort for companies towards the surrounding community. Whereas the State Defense is a political concept of the State that regulates citizens' rights and obligations in defending the country. The ethnographic method can combine the CSR and State Defense models in the multinational company oil mine environment. Chevron Pacific Indonesia Inc.'s CSR in international companies is called Social Investment (SI) has a dilemma; because CSR is seen as a long-term corporate interest, on the other hand, the regional Government distributes a small portion of profits to the surrounding community. After analyzing PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia's CSR and the Regional Government's strategy in realizing public welfare in the context of state defense, researchers can formulate the Corporate Citizenship (CC) as the State Defense CSR model.

As relações de gênero no início do socialismo chinês: Reflexões a partir dos cartazes de propaganda do I Plano Quinquenal (1953-1957)
Authors: Parnov Edelson Costa , De Figueiredo Tatiana Silva Poggi
Published: February 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo elucidar as funções e os usos relacionados às representações de gênero dos cartazes de propaganda chineses do I Plano Quinquenal (1953-7). As fontes estão disponíveis no site http://chineseposters.net/, mantido pela Leiden University. Ele reúne pôsteres da coleção de Stefan Landsberger, professor emérito dessa instituição, e de uma coleção particular anônima. Utilizou-se o método iconológico para a análise imagética e a Análise Crítica do Discurso para o estudo das legendas dos cartazes. Defende-se que o Partido Comunista usou os pôsteres para construir hegemonia na sociedade chinesa acerca das relações de gênero consideradas em acordo com o socialismo, valorizando modelos de mulheres ativas no mundo do trabalho e de casais harmoniosos. Com isso, esses sujeitos não transportariam seus problemas pessoais para a esfera da produção, possibilitando o seu incremento, fator tido como fundamental à transição socialista.
“Não há pessoa alguma por pequena que seja que não saiba”: uma família e sua fama de “Cristã-novice” no Maranhão setecentista.
Authors: Lacerda Lima João Antonio Fonseca
Published: February 2021

A exigência quanto à “pureza de sangue” era presente na maioria das instituições do Império Português. Em vista de averiguar se os pleiteantes de fato detinham os requisitos necessários, as instituições lavravam processos cuja finalidade era descobrir algum possível impedimento. Porém, o aparente rigor possuía brechas, de modo que muitas vezes candidatos com alguma “impureza” passavam no crivo. O presente trabalho versa sobre estas situações. Aqui apresentaremos a trajetória de Felipe Camello de Brito, membro de uma notória família de “cristãos-novos” que durante anos, a despeito de seu impedimento, exerceu importantes cargos no bispado do Maranhão. Veremos como, através de processos de investigação genealógica, no âmbito da Cúria diocesana do Maranhão e do Tribunal do Santo Ofício, Felipe consegue purgar de uma vez por todas a fama que acompanhara sua família há gerações.
Cristianização e Inquisição em Goa: a confessionalização portuguesa e católica no Estado da Índia no século XVI
Authors: Tonon da Silva Luiza
Published: February 2021

Este artigo intenciona buscar elementos sociais, culturais, políticos e religiosos do Estado da Índia no século XVI relacionados à conversão de mulheres e homens asiáticos ao Cristianismo e à busca da normatização de seus habitantes na ordem portuguesa colonial e cristã, num processo aqui entendido como de confessionalização. Para isso, analisa-se por meio de provisões, correspondência e manuscritos do Santo Ofício as medidas tomadas a partir das primeiras décadas do colonialismo português na Ásia em prol não apenas do número de cristãos, mas também do controle da população, ao qual a criação do único tribunal inquisitorial além do Reino foi de grande importância. Por fim, explora-se os intuitos da ação do Santo Ofício de Goa a partir de seu início, em 1560, de modo a compreender como a confessionalidade católica era almejada também a partir da capital oriental do Império Português.
Self-employment of Syrian refugees: unveiling social networks and human capital of food stall owners in Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Falcão Roberto Pessoa de Queiroz , Cruz Eduardo Picanço , Piccoli Dayane Andrade Campos , Mancebo Rafael Cuba
Published: February 2021

Abstract Integration of immigrants in their host societies is a key-issue on the refugee crisis throughout the world. Self-employment appears as means of survival representing the so-called necessity-driven entrepreneurship, which is rather common among immigrant survival strategies. Syrians in Brazil are the fourth largest nationality to seek refuge in the country. Therefore, the present paper aims at analyzing how ethnic and local networks of support are configured and influence the creation of new businesses, such as food stalls and restaurants. For that purpose, an exploratory study through in-depth interviews was conducted with Syrians in Rio de Janeiro, generating reflections on the institutional picture as well as the hosting conditions of the country. Key-findings include contingency factors showing evidences that social capital is more a function of brokerage across structural holes than closure within a network articulation, the family network importance as well as the establishment of a local support network. Keywords: immigration, refugee, Syrians, Brazil, self-employment.

Authors: Ferreira Frederico Leocádio , Ferreira Júlio César Benfenatti , Reis Kamyla Espíndola Gibram , Santos Paulo Augusto dos
Published: February 2021

RESUMO As micro e pequenas empresas (MPE) tem uma importância pautável para o cenário econômico brasileiro, apesar de sofrerem uma percentagem de mortalidade preocupante até o quinto ano de existência, causadas, dentre vários fatores, pela falta de uma gestão estratégica eficiente, ou de um conhecimento estratégico formal. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar o perfil estratégico dos empreendimentos nascentes e novos no município de Bambuí-MG, de acordo com as escolas de pensamento estratégico de Mintzberg et al. (2009). Dentre todos os 383 CNPjs cadastrados na cidade, apenas 56 caracterizavam MPEs, e destas, apenas 17 continuavam abertas. Os dados foram tratados por meio de uma análise de clusters a fim de formar agrupamentos estratégicos dentro desta amostra. Chegou-se à classificação dos Clusters: Estrategistas lobos (cluster 1), Estrategistas aranhas/búfalos (cluster 2), Estrategistas aranhas (cluster 3), Estrategistas camaleões (cluster 4) e Estrategistas búfalos heterogêneos (cluster 5). Com os clusters comprova-se a falta de conhecimento formal da amostra estudada acerca da gestão estratégica, apesar de reconhecida sua importância para o desempenho da organização. O conhecimento poderia dar suporte para uma tomada de decisão mais precisa, trazendo maior competitividade. Palavras-chave: MPE, Perfil estratégico, Escolas do pensamento estratégico.
O “Terceiro Setor” como uma nova modalidade de intervenção social: o retiro do direito de cidadania e o dever do Estado
Authors: Montaño Carlos
Published: February 2021

O presente artigo trata do chamado “Terceiro Setor”, não como uma alternativa oposta ao Estado e ao mercado, mas como um projeto ideológico de alteração dos fundamentos constitucionais da intervenção na “questão social”, de uma ação estatal, por via de políticas sociais, fundada no direito de cidadania e dever do Estado, como reza a Constituição de 1988, para uma ação voluntária e “solidária”, na sociedade civil (transmutada num abstrato e ideológico “terceiro setor”) ou no mercado, conforme a programática neoliberal. Assim, avaliamos o que está por trás do chamado “terceiro setor”, e a funcionalidade deste com as contra-reformas neoliberais do Estado.
