Les nouvelles coopérations politico-administratives locales, transnationales et infranationales
Authors: Verdier Marie-France
Published: January 2024

De nouvelles coopérations horizontales entre collectivités locales, tant transnationales, au-delà des frontières politiques nationales, grâce à la coopération transfrontalière, qu'infranationales, au-delà des frontières administratives nationales, parla politique de pays, ont été mises en place en raison du développement des politiques régionales en Europe et de la volonté d'aménagement du territoire national. Elles sont fondées sur la recherche de territoires pertinents non seulement, manifestement, d'un point de vue économique et social, mais aussi, de façon latente, par une approche en termes d'identité. La reconnaissance juridique de ces coopérations de proximité s'inscrit dans le cadre du principe de l'unité de l'Etat limitant d'une part l'action extérieure des collectivités locales et d'autre part la prise en compte de la diversité du territoire et du pluralisme sociologique. La mise en œuvre de ces nouvelles coopérations locales esquisse une recomposition stratégique des espaces territoriaux participant de réseaux de solidarités du fait de l'initiative locale volontariste. Cette adaptation marginale mais pragmatique de l'Etat fondée sur une logique économique, sociale et culturelle tend à prouver que l' Etat-nation n'a pas épuisé toutes ses virtualités.
Les mutations de la notion de Constitution et le droit international
Authors: Mouton Jean-Denis
Published: January 2024

The nature of the concept, constitution, is not really discussed in International Law which, as it is primarily concerned with the effectiveness of political power, raises neither the question of its constituent nature nor of the founding act on which this power is based.

This lack of interest corresponds with a period in international society which, even though it exists on a world-wide basis, is organised on very different principles to those in constitutional systems.

KELSEN's Normative Theory explains this difference by distinguishing between basic international legal norms and basic norms prevailing within States ; this difference runs parallel to an equally radical difference between the legal system within a State and that prevailing in the international community. For KELSEN, a State has a centralised, hierarchical system, while the international system is all-embracing but highly decentralised. However this dichotomous analysis is also cosmopolitic in that only the creation of a World State, foreseen by KELSEN, would put an end to this radical dichotomy, the basic legal norm of the international legal system becoming the World State's constitution.

However, there's no question but the changes occurring in international society, particularly in recent years, have called this dichotomous and cosmopolitic view into question. We analyse the impact of the changes on the constitutional concept, firstly by considering the possible internationalisation of existing state constitutions, and then the possible "constitutionalisation" of a World State.
La production constitutionnelle au cours des transitions africaines
Authors: Mampuya Auguste
Published: January 2024

The introduction of democracy in Africa, when a number ex-colonial states were granted independence, was the occasion for the creation of a variety of constitutions, a technique frequently used thereafter, the constitutional arrangements invariably being an attempt to find a solution to political crises or even armed conflict.

Ironically, this fetishisation of constitutions, treating them as a panacea, subsequently became the favourite instrument of dictators, thus rapidly disproving the legal and historical belief that a constitution limits a ruler's powers.

Under the pressure of events, however, the traditional view of the constitutional concept finally triumphed when, in the 1990s, Africa started turning its back on dictatorships, and embracing democracy.

Specialists talked of a renewal of African constitutionalism. The sovereign national conference phenomenon was considered, not only an African invention, but also a genuine revolution. However, while the method of drawing up new constitutions in Africa could well be considered revolutionary, the results were simply traditional.

As with so many previous reforms, sovereign national conferences have, since independence, not achieved anything more than the traditional cycle of democracy -"strong, stable regimes" -dictatorships -and a return democracy again. . . .

The problem, however, is less in the mechanism itself, as François BORELLA accurately pointed out, "but in the context in which it is applied".
Crise de légitimité du pouvoir politique en Afrique subsaharienne francophone. Quel remède ?
Authors: Gueye Babacar
Published: January 2024

En África como en otras partes del mundo, no se puede aludir al tema del poder político sin asociarlo al de su legitimidad. La legitimidad es consustancial al poder político. Pero esta verdad universal tiene una resonancia particular en África dónde la autoridad política debe realizar la hazaña de ser ejercida sobre sociedades plurales, de hacer convivir etnias, tribus, valores a menudo rivales, en un mismo territorio nacional. El balance del ejercicio del poder demuestra un déficit o una escasez de legitimidad. Lo que ha engendrado la oposición al poder que no es sino la expresión de una falta de legitimidad que la transición democrática pendiente trata de solucionara través de un nuevo constitucionalismo. Pero un régimen político ya no puede legitimarse de forma suficiente ni por el origen, ni por la finalidad del poder echando mano del derecho constitucional occidental como lo sugieren los neoconstituyentes africanos. Toda búsqueda de una nueva legitimación que no se fundamente en los valores africanos, en la sociedad real en lo que tiene de más auténtico, nos parece condenada al fracaso.
L'évolution du droit constitutionnel en situation de crise
Authors: Sierpinski Batyah
Published: January 2024

El ánalisis de la evolución del derecho constitucional en situación de crisis depende de la forma de entender la idea de situación de crisis, de modo que el enfoque puede ser interno o internacional. Si nos limitamos a este último, hay que interesarse por los efectos de una crisis internacional sobre el derecho constitucional. Sin embargo, la socieadad internacional ha evolucionado en lo tocante a las interacciones entre lo interno y lo internacional especialmente a lo largo del siglo que ha acabado.

En un primer período que va del fin del siglo XIX al primer cuarto del siglo XX, lo que se llama sociedad internacional o al menos algunos Estados que se consideran representativos de esta sociedad han reaccionado frente a situaciones de crisis por el cauce de la intervención humanitaria o mediante el tratamiento de las minorías. En los dos casos, el derecho interno de los Estados interesados por la intervención, entre otros, el derecho constitucional, quedó modificado.

La Segunda Guerra mundial y la creación de la ONU han modificado la sociedad internacional y han originado la aparición de lo que se llama la comunidad internacional. Esta comunidad también se enfrenta con crisis que ha intentado e intenta todavía resolver. Algunas crisis pueden ser engendradas por un problema interno como lo han demostrado el caso de Bosnia-Herzegovina y el de Kosovo. Sin embargo, de nuevo, la solución deseada -dícese -por la comunidad internacional, de esa crisis, ha tenido a veces un impacto directo, o indirecto sobre la propia constitución del estado interesado.
Le Sénat et la représentation des collectivités locales
Authors: Robbe François
Published: January 2024

According to Paragraph 3 of Article 24 of the French 1958 Constitution, the Senate represents the Republic's local and regional authorities. This constitutional provision determines the way in which the Senate is appointed : elected by an electoral college in which local councillors are in a majority, the French Upper House is indirectly based on universal suffrage, thus paying due respect to the principle of the sovereignty of the people. At the same time, the particular way in which the Senate is selected ensures that it is composed of members representing different parts of the body politic than the National Assembly This enables the Senate to express a different point of view, in particular on proposed legislation. The principle of having local and regional authorities represented thus makes a positive contribution to the bicameral nature of French parliamentary procedure. The Senate today would appear to be tempted by a different reading of Paragraph 3 of Article 24 that goes beyond the way in which it is elected and to see itself as representative of local and regional authorities, the Upper House's role being to defend their interests at a national level. Proposals have already been made to increase the powers of the Senate in the discussion of proposed laws concerning local administration. However, such reforms could well upset the present balance of power in the French parliament and call the National Assembly's dominance into question.
La réforme du mode d'élection des sénateurs : point de départ ou d'arrivée ?
Authors: Verdier Marie-France
Published: January 2024

Is the change in the way in which French senators are elected, introduced by the Law of 10 July 2002 in spite of the Senate's opposition, a new departure or the culmination of earlier changes ?

The Constitutional Council's decision of 6 July 2000, giving its interpretation of Article 24 of the Constitution, struck out much of the government's proposed text which had been intended to improve the French Senate's representativeness, and increased the number of municipal representatives in the electoral college in particular. The Constitutional Council thus re-emphasised the Senate's role representing local authorities, giving a relatively nuanced interpretation of the one person, one vote principle. The way in which senators are elected today is based on an electoral college determined by the Constitutional Council.

The Senate's representativeness could nevertheless be improved by introducing a more equitable representation of the municipalities, by a more balanced representation of county (departmental) councils, and by a reduction in the senators' term of office.

That done, one could imagine its constitutional powers being increased, a precondition for its continuing relevance, in matters affecting local authorities, without granting it as much power as the House of Deputies. In addition, stabilising the terms and conditions under which senators are elected, and insisting on their approval for the reforms, would give them greater authority in the role they are called upon to play.
La composición del Tribunal Constitucional y su función de órgano de solución de las controversias territoriales (A propósito de las previsiones del llamado «Plan Ibarretxe» en relación con la justicia constitucional territorial)
Authors: Roura Gomez Santiago A.
Published: January 2024

L'un des éléments les plus importants du «plan Ibarretxe » représente la réforme de la justice constitutionnelle, puisqu'il établit une chambre spéciale au sein du Tribunal constitutionnel, chargée des litiges concernant la Communauté autonome basque. Le point de départ de cet aspect de la proposition constitue la considération qu'il faut que la solution de ce type de différend nécessite une instance neutre ou médiatrice.

L'article s'interroge sur la question posée et essaie de la résoudre à la lumière de la théorie générale du droit constitutionnel au sein des Etats décentralisés , du point de vue politique et du droit comparé. L'auteur trouve que les fédérations n'attribuent pas à des organes à caractère arbitral la solution des litiges territoriaux. La raison est que cet organe juridictionnel est conçu comme un organe d'un Etat décentralisé et constitutionnel.
La reconnaissance de la personnalité juridique des confessions religieuses en Autriche
Authors: Torres Gutiérrez Alejandro
Published: January 2024

En este artículo se analiza la evolución de la legislación austriaca en materia de libertad religiosa, hasta llegar a la reciente Ley 19/1998 sobre reconocimiento de la personalidad jurídica de las comunidades confesionales de carácter religioso, que crea una nueva categoría intermedia entre las dos únicas soluciones maximalistas que admitía la legislación austríaca hasta ese momento :

a) El pleno reconocimiento como confesión religiosa, que suponía el otorgamiento de un régimen privilegiado con numerosas connotaciones públicas, como la posibilidad de recaudar el impuesto religioso entre sus fieles.

b) El desconocimiento jurídico por parte del Estado. En este trabajo se estudian los requisitos exigidos para acceder a esta nueva categoría intermedia de comunidad confesional de carácter religioso, así como los exigidos más adelante para llegar a conseguir el pleno reconocimiento estatal, alguno de estos últimos abiertos a clara polémica, como la exigencia de una indefinida actitud positiva hacia la sociedad y el Estado, o un mínimo de fíeles que representen el 2 por 1000 de la población, exigencia que no cumplen muchas de las confesiones religiosas ya plenamente reconocidas por parte del Estado.
Variable pressure foaming on functionality and structural properties correlation in flexible polyurethane foam
Authors: Singh Vratika , Gopalasamudram Mahesh N , Maitra Jaya
Published: January 2024

The production cost of flexible polyurethane foam is significantly dependent on the cost of polyol, which constitutes the largest percentage of materials used in foam production with the characteristics to induce superior mechanical properties. Suitable fillers that are relatively cheap can be introduced in the foam as replacement for polyol. Certain compositions of filler have deleterious effect on some relevant mechanical properties of the foam. This paper investigates the Effects of Variable Pressure Foaming on functionality and structure property correlation in polyurethane foam using different percentage of inorganic fillers at different pressure in flexible polyurethane foam for the dual purposes of achieving sustained mechanical properties of polyurethane foam and reduction in the production cost by using the VPF Technique. Government restricts the use of certain auxiliary blowing agents like chlorofluorocarbon, trichloroethane, carbon dioxide, methylene chloride, acetone, pentane and water. VPF machine, in which we can make different densities of foam without adding auxiliary blowing agents which are banned in the Europe and other countries. These blowing agents are highly carcinogenic and ozone depletors, which are also harmful for human beings’ health and greenhouse effect. Water is a natural blowing agent, producers have tried to raise the water level substantially as an ABA agent, With the high exotherm associated with high water level formulations, there is so much urea formation that it is difficult to make flexible PU foams and inferior foam quality and durability, scorching in the foam and pose a fire hazard during foam manufacturing. For the rapid cooling process, it required excess Toluene Diisocyanate usage and allowed excess TDI vapour to be released into the atmosphere. In VPF, enclosed chamber and the exhaust is vented through carbon beds, it filters the TDI fumes which are very harmful for human beings’ health and for the environment. Foams can be achieved by foaming under vacuum, thus substantially reducing the water level and TDI usage. VPF technique offers a unique combination of environmental friendliness, superior product consistency and unique foam properties. It provides us with a platform for new product technology and a reliable process to meet the increasingly stringent environmental regulations.

Published: January 2024

The welding industry is known for having significant occupational health risks. For this reason, the occupational hazards of welders have been previously examined by many researchers in the literature. However, the traditional hazards-outcomes focused analyses do not show the big picture in which occupational health and safety (OHS) is neglected due to global competitive conditions. Therefore, it may be important to define the determinants of OHS that deepen inequalities, especially in developing countries. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between OHS indicators and OHS determinants among welders in a developing country. In this descriptive study, the data were collected from 88 welders by telephone interview. Health outcomes were also confirmed from clinical records. In addition to the indicators of OHS, independent variables such as education level, sector, business size, union membership, security, wage, weekly working hours, etc were investigated in the study. According to the results, the work accident rate was higher in welders who started their careers as a child. Leading OHS indicators were found to be significantly worse in the working environments of those with low education, low wages, workers in the private sector and who are non-unionized. Additionally, a positive correlation was found between being unionised and high education level, high socioeconomic development (SED) level, business size, and working in the public sector. There was a negative correlation between union membership and weekly working hours. Since the concept of OHS is related to many factors, working life should be considered from a holistic perspective.

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the Korean Counselor’s Ethical Sensitivity Scale (K-CESS). To this end, in Study 1, preliminary items were prepared to measure the counselor’s ethical sensitivity based on previous studies, and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted on 262 counselors. As a result of the EFA, 7 factors and 30 items were derived. In Study 2, to confirm the validity of the factor structure derived from Study 1, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed on 304 counselors. Correlation analysis with related variables was conducted to confirm its convergent and discriminant validity, and criterion-related validity. Based on the results, implications were presented for understanding and using the counselor's ethical sensitivity scale.

“Nuevo Figurativismo Andino” - El paisaje actual en la pintura ayacuchana 2000 - 2020
Authors: Meza Untiveros Miguel Angel
Published: January 2024

En la región de Ayacucho a mediados del siglo XX se fundó la Escuela de Bellas Artes “Felipe Guamán Poma de Ayala”, con la finalidad de formar artistas pictóricos que valoren y representen su cultura influenciado y referenciado por las distintas tendencias y estilos pictórico; por otro lado en la actualidad los maestros fundadores y egresados forman parte de la expresión pictórica ayacuchana. En ese sentido la pintura del paisaje fue desarrollando sus propias características, tomando aspectos históricos, sociales y culturales de índole local, nacional e internacional; de esta manera se propone generar un valor significativo a la pintura paisajística ayacuchana entre los años 2000 al 2020, teniendo en cuenta sus antecedentes y desarrollo para denominarlo “Nuevo Figurativismo Andino”. Evidenciándose así las diversas técnicas empleadas, el simbolismo en la forma, contenido y mensaje en torno al contexto socio cultural de la región. De esta manera se plantea la siguiente pregunta: ¿Qué expresa la pintura paisajística en Ayacucho? para responder se empleará una metodología de análisis visual, desarrollando un estudio iconográfico e iconológico de cada una de las obras a investigar. Por otra parte, se tiene como hipótesis, ¿En qué medida la pintura paisajística en Ayacucho expresa valores tradicionales y costumbres locales?

Authors: Gb. TOTIN Florentin , BAMISSO Rafiatou , AMOUSSOU Ernest , AMOUSSOU Narcisse
Published: January 2024

Lake Nokoué is experiencing serious environmental problems which threaten its existence and contribute to the reduction of goods and services for the beneficiary population. The objective of this study is to understand the dynamics of ecological factors and their impacts on the biocenosis. This study is based on bathymetric data collected in 11 stations on the lake following seasonal sampling from February 2017 to January 2018 and from March 2019 to February 2020. Documentary research, field surveys, interview guides, a camera digital and labeled sachets are the tools and materials used for data collection from 120 households. In addition, images from aerial and satellite photographs of the LANDSAT type (TM and ETM) were used to assess the dynamics of the acadjas of Lake Nokoué. The results were analyzed with the FPEIR model. The results show that from 2000 to 2020 Lake Nokoué experienced an increase in the number of acadja which went from 667 to 1417 or 47.07% followed by a decrease in its depth from West to East of the order of 0.5m. The factors favorable to the filling of Lake Nokoué are according to 70% of the population surveyed: the flood and its solid inputs, the proliferation of water hyacinth in the rainy season and its degeneration in the dry season, the erosion of the banks, the intrusion of marine water and stations with high human and economic densities (implantation and decomposition of acadja, agricultural activities, etc.). These internal and external factors contribute to the morphological dynamics of Lake Nokoué, thus hindering the socio-economic development of populations dependent on Lake Nokoué. Faced with this situation, measures have been proposed for better management of this ecosystem, which is essential to the survival of its population.

Explorando as possibilidades do uso da propaganda e da publicidade, destaco que é preciso compreenda-las em seu tempo e espaço. Ao eleger propaganda e publicidade como objeto da História é necessário explorar os interesses que perpassam a sua produção, as representações e as possibilidades de leitura do vivido. Desse modo, ao analisar os anúncios publicitários noto que o Jornal dos Sports utilizou diversas estratégias para anunciar produtos e serviços. A publicidade nas páginas do Jornal dos Sports se mostra também como um espaço de construção de representações sobre a sociedade e o campo esportivo nas décadas de 1930 e 1940, no Rio de Janeiro, e de uma forma mais ampla no Brasil.

Mesmo campo, diferentes cores de pele
Authors: Pires Francisco Quinteiro
Published: January 2024

Este artigo investiga como processos de racialização e a ideologia do colorismo operam nos jogos de futebol disputados, na cidade de São Paulo, entre times de brasileiros negros contra times de brasileiros brancos entre 1927 e 1939 e em uma partida de 2003 registrada pelo documentário Preto contra branco. Com base em interpretações de autores que analisaram textos jornalísticos sobre essas partidas, ele argumenta que esses jogos encarnam narrativas políticas que se contrapõem à ideologia do colorismo. Essas disputas também estabelecem uma divisão racial semelhante à regra da gota única nos Estados Unidos e subversivamente a reencenam para desestabilizar o mito da democracia racial no Brasil. Desafiando um discurso colorista que promove uma integração nacional limitada enquanto reforça uma hierarquia racial, essas partidas representam uma crítica ao racismo e ao mito da harmonia entre as raças. Eles também contestam a noção redutora de Gilberto Freyre de que os afro-brasileiros jogam o futebol como “uma arte de songamonga”.

Authors: Kosiom Thomas , Sasaka Peter , Oloo Darius , Bana Wahida , Uzel Jean
Published: January 2024

The strategic capabilities and the sustainable competitive advantage have remained a central locus of academic discourse, though their comprehensive examination within the developing world, particularly in Kenya, in the area of seed industry has been noticeably limited. The objective of this study was to look into the influence of strategic organizational learning capability on the sustainable competitive advantage of seed companies in Kenya. The theories that supported the study were: organizational learning theory and dynamic capability theory. The research adopted a positivist approach because the role of the researcher was limited to data collection and interpretation in a manner which was observable and verifiable. The research used cross-sectional and descriptive designs where qualitative data was collected through reviewing of company manuals. A questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from 76 private seed firms in Kenya, using stratified sampling technique, with 280 respondents from top management, finance, operations, and information communication technology departments. Data acquired through the administration of questionnaires was analyzed utilizing multiple regression analysis, and a rigorous assessment of hypotheses. The investigation yielded an array of insightful findings, notably, strategic organizational learning capability emerged as a pivotal determinant, displaying a robust and statistically significant positive relationship. The study concluded that strategic organizational learning capability indeed had a significant influence on the sustainable competitive advantage of seed companies in Kenya. The study stresses the importance of investing in and strengthening strategic organizational learning capability. Seed companies should therefore foster a culture of continuous learning, measure and assess learning outcomes, and promote sustainable competitive advantage.

O MAL DA MORTE NO PESSIMISMO: CONSIDERAÇÕES A PARTIR DE ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER E DAVID BENATAR
Authors: Dossena Felipe
Published: January 2024

Neste trabalho, investigo a possibilidade de compatibilidade entre o pessimismo filosófico e a compreensão da morte como um mal para quem morre. Por pessimismo filosófico, compreendo a doutrina filosófica que mantém como tese fundamental que a não-existência é preferível à existência, de modo que o pessimismo é tomado como a filosofia de que a vida não vale a pena ser vivida. Por mal da morte, me refiro à compreensão da morte como um dano para o indivíduo que morre, cujo pressuposto em diferentes abordagens contemporâneas é o de que a morte só é um mal no caso de continuar existindo ser preferível a deixar de existir. Desse modo, o problema discutido é a aparente incompatibilidade entre a tese de que a não-existência é preferível à existência e a tese de que continuar existindo é preferível a deixar de existir. Busco demonstrar que essa (in)compatibilidade depende do modo como fundamentamos o pessimismo filosófico. Para tanto, examino dois argumentos para o pessimismo filosófico e suas implicações para o mal da morte: o argumento a priori de Arthur Schopenhauer e o argumento da assimetria de David Benatar. Concluo que o primeiro desses argumentos nos leva para a conclusão de que a morte não é um mal, mas que o segundo argumento compatibiliza o pessimismo filosófico e a compreensão da morte como um mal para quem morre.
BREVES NOTAS SOBRE RAZÕES PARA AGIR NAS INVESTIGAÇÕES DE HUME
Authors: Taufer Lucas
Published: January 2024

A finalidade deste ensaio é apresentar algumas contribuições de David Hume à discussão do tema razões para agir a partir dos textos “Da liberdade e necessidade”, oriundo de Uma investigação sobre o entendimento humano, e “Dos princípios gerais da moral” e “Sobre o sentimento moral”, ambos oriundos de Uma investigação sobre os princípios da moral. Partindo da provocação de Bernard Williams em sua descrição do que seria um modelo “sub-humeano” de concepção sobre razões para agir, intentamos apresentar qual seria o modelo “propriamente humeano” de compreensão sobre a temática. Os esforços da tentativa estão expostos em três momentos respectivamente orientados à reconstrução do argumento humeano. As relações entre sentimentos, razão, ações, motivação para agir e juízos morais serão discutidas, na primeira seção, enquanto tributárias do debate sobre as disposições de entendimento sobre a liberdade e a necessidade que dizem respeito às tratativas humeanas de compreender a condição humana em seus aspectos epistemológicas. Já na segunda e na terceira, buscamos expor a compreensão possível dos conceitos acima mencionados nos quadros da filosofia moral humeana propriamente dita. A partir disso, podemos afirmar que, em Hume, as razões para agir, isto é, os elementos que se caracterizam como motivadores das ações e dos comportamentos, podem ser ditas como residentes, em última instância, na subjetividade da condição humana e originárias da sensibilidade humana, constituída por sua vez pelas paixões, emoções, vontade, desejos e sentimentos morais.
O PROBLEMA DA DEMARCAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA E O STATUS DA METAFÍSICA NO RACIONALISMO CRÍTICO DE POPPER
Authors: Parmeggiani Rodrigo Pedro Mella
Published: January 2024

This article aims to present the main ideas surrounding the problem of scientific demarcation from the perspective of the philosopher of science Karl Popper. Firstly, it will seek to present the problem related to inductive reasoning, known as the problem of induction. Subsequently, Popper's demarcation criterion will be presented, namely, falsifiability and, finally, the treatment given to metaphysics. It is concluded that the criterion of falsifiability is characterised by its unilateral negative decisiveness, i.e. science should seek to falsify its theories and not verify them. This criterion enables a logical-deductive justification of the demarcation between scientific and metaphysical statements. Scientific knowledge comes to be understood as a corollary arising from conjectures and refutations.  Metaphysics is elevated to the category of rational criticism, as well as a contributor to scientific endeavour through metaphysical research programmes.

Kantian Cosmopolitanism and the Challenge of its Racist Prejudices
Authors: Mballo Ousmane
Published: January 2024

In the years 1788, Kant develops a conception of racial inequality in which he not only affirms the superiority of the « European » white race over other races, but also appears to approve of the enslavement of Black people. Kant’s theory of racial inequality baffles many, considering that in the moral philosophy he develops during the same period, he makes no compromises on the inviolability of human dignity. The aim of this text is not to deny Kant’s racism between 1764 and 1790, which is evident in his courses on physical geography and anthropology, but rather to demonstrate that Kant’s primary objective, which he never loses sight of in his various writings on race, is to explain the unity in diversity of the human species. While Kant’s theory of racial inequalities leaves no doubt about his racism between 1764 and 1790, it is inaccurate to claim that he remained constant in his views on non-European peoples. From 1795 onwards, in the Project for a Perpetual Peace and later in The Metaphysics of Morals (1797), Kant reevaluates his appreciation of non-European peoples, develops a more egalitarian conception of rights and race, and condemns European colonization.

Authors: Alves de Lima Paulo
Published: January 2024

Este texto analisa a ascensão da China como uma nova potência global, enfatizando a perspectiva de uma reconfiguração na ordem mundial capitalista. Adicionalmente, explora a dicotomia existente entre diversas potências globais, notavelmente no contexto das ações promovidas pelos Estados Unidos e seus aliados, como o cerco e a possível guerra contra a Rússia. O autor também destaca a crescente polarização entre forças democráticas e antidemocráticas, marcada pelo avanço da ultradireita e pelo declínio do poder político do campo democrático conservador. Ademais, aborda a complexidade da transição da revolução russa para o socialismo em detrimento do comunismo, discutindo as implicações da revolução tecnológica e do surgimento do quarto órgão da máquina na configuração da ordem mundial. O texto conclui ressaltando a relevância da contenda pela emancipação humana diante dos desafios advindos da crise estrutural do capital.
Elementos estruturantes da industria de reciclagem
Authors: Pereira da Silva Pablo
Published: January 2024

O presente trabalho aborda alguns elementos estruturantes da indústria da reciclagem com propósito de fundamentar a crítica a suposta capacidade de promoção do dito desenvolvimento sustentável, bem como da inclusão socioprodutiva de catadoras(es) de materiais recicláveis, conferida a este setor industrial. Para tanto, a presente análise se fundamenta prioritariamente na obra de Karl Marx, mais especificamente nos livros I e III d’O Capital. As questões aqui abordadas são apresentadas a partir de três eixos, são eles: a abordagem do material reciclável enquanto uma mercadoria própria do modo de produção capitalista; a indústria da reciclagem enquanto aparato tecnológico; e, por fim, a inter-relação entre a produção de matérias-primas por setores produtivos distintos.
Analytical Study of Fazlur Rahman's "Revival and Reform in Islam: A Study of Islamic Fundamentalism"
Authors: Mir Khalid Hussain
Published: January 2024

In Islam, there is freedom of every thought and along with that, respect for every thought. In the present era, freedom of thought is considered the summum bonum. It is generally believed that this freedom is the result of the scientific revolution in the West. The immediate and proximate cause of this revolution is indeed the modern scientific revolution, but this scientific revolution itself was the result of the unified revolution of Islam. What is meant by the modern reconstruction of Islamic Thought? What this means is that the new intellectual and practical problems that have arisen in the present age should be addressed in such a way that it comprises the complete concession of the spirit and temperament of Islam on the one hand, and on the other hand, it fully embraces the modern requirements. A lot has been said and written about how modern Islamic thought developed in the current period. Probably the first person to write and draw attention to this subject was Syed Jamaluddin Afghani. Similarly, the names of Sheikh Muhammad Abdah, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Mohammad Iqbal, Syed Amir Ali, Namik Kamal, etc. can be taken in this regard. All these people tried to redefine Islam. It had two purposes. One is to make modern ideas compatible with Islamic principles, and at the same time to reassure Muslims that Islam is still important and relevant for their guidance. the current review paper is an endeavor to meticulously present the outline of the revivalist and reformist approach of Fazlur Rahman presented by him in his book "Revival and Reform in Islam: A Study of Islamic Fundamentalism".
