The Concept of Authentic and Inauthentic Existence in the Philosophy of Martin Heidegger: The ‘Quarrel’ of Communitarians and Libertarians
Authors: Anowai Eugene , Chukwujekwu Stephen
Published: March 2019

The everyday use of the term ‘authenticity’ tends to mean ‘real’, ‘genuine’ or ‘true’, and ‘inauthentic’ as ‘fake’, ‘fraud’ or ‘impostor’. These terms are more value-judgments with something inherently better than ‘inauthentic’.The idea of authentic wishes to liberate the individuals from the constraints of their own socio-historical limitations; and to establish being as limitless potential, where we are free to be whatever we want,unconstrained by the values of instrumental or calculative thought prized by social exigencies and ideologies. It means that we have to use our potentialities as free Beings to overcome unfavourable circumstances,fight against, or protest against the ugly situation, but as ‘authentic-being, we at the same time ‘inherit and choose’ our own possibilities. So in transcending our socio-historical condition,our aim should be to be free from constraints, free from ‘the-they’ and be true to who we are.This paper holds brief for the Libertariansand liberals and supports the view that individual choice is important. But then, the community is indispensable in defining and shaping individuals in the light of communitarians.

Published: March 2019

O trabalho visa a averiguar a evolução do instituto da reclamação nos trinta anos de vigência da Constituição Federal, principalmente com a entrada em vigor do CPC 2015, que a previu como mecanismo de salvaguarda do sistema de precedentes vinculantes. Mais especificamente, será abordada a nova hipotese de cabimento de reclamação, inserida pela reforma da Lei 13.256/16 - cabimento de reclamação proposta para garantir a observância de acórdão com repercussão geral reconhecida ou de acórdão proferido em julgamento de recursos extraordinári ou especial repetitivos - cuja propositura depende, no entanto, do ësgotamento das instâncias ordinárias". Ao final do ensaio, pretende-se apresentar uma tentativa de sistematização do conceito, tendo por base a doutrina e a jurisprudência dos tribunais superiores.
A ética do discurso e o direito à democracia nas instâncias decisórias mundiais: o caso da OMC
Authors: Mozelli Gustavo Sarti , Doehler Ivan Dutra
Published: March 2019

O presente artigo busca a compreensão crítica dos processos de decisão no âmbito da Organização Mundial do Comércio enquanto locus privilegiado da discussão de questões ambientais transfronteiriças que emergem das controvérsias comerciais entre os países. Discute-se também, diante da substituição da política pelos mercados no plano internacional na esteira do processo de globalização da economia, a necessidade do elemento ético como base do exercício do direito à democracia, considerado como direito humano fundamental indispensável na formulação de políticas de desenvolvimento sustentável em escala planetária. Para tanto, utiliza-se o método hipotético-dedutivo baseado na pesquisa explicativa e qualitativa, com base na revisão bibliográfica.
Da necessidade de modernização da política internacional antidrogas como forma de efetivação dos direitos humanos
Authors: Flores Andrea , Teixeira Digiany Da Silva Godoy
Published: March 2019

Ao redor do mundo, governos começaram a questionar abertamente a eficácia das políticas repressivas de combate às drogas, o que torna oportuna a propositura, nesse momento, de medidas intermediárias entre o proibicionismo e a legalização, com forte influência das estratégias de redução de danos que procurem minimizar o alcance da esfera repressiva, na linha do direito penal mínimo. Ademais, o proibicionismo como política internacional de drogas é responsável por uma gama de violações de direitos humanos ao redor do mundo, o que torna esse diálogo urgente e necessário. O artigo analisa as mudanças do modelo atual de combate às drogas – de viés proibicionista –, a partir de novas experiências internacionais e da última Sessão Especial da Assembleia Geral da ONU (UNGASS), diante da ineficácia de políticas repressivas que geraram violência, encarceramento e violações de direitos. Com base na análise dos efeitos da implementação do Regime Internacional de Controle de Drogas e de elementos críticos em relação a violações de direitos humanos no Brasil e no Mundo, são apontados os desafios para próximas décadas como: a necessidade de implementação de políticas públicas que priorizem os grupos mais vulneráveis, a estruturação de programas de prevenção e redução de danos, a adoção de penas alternativas e a criação de critérios objetivos para diferenciar o uso e o tráfico de drogas, tudo isso de forma sustentável, respeitando as diversidades regionais e combatendo a pobreza e o cerceamento de direitos.
Princípios do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e da Equidade Intergeracional sob a ótica do conceito de “Outro” de Lacan
Authors: Rezende Elcio Nacur , Nascimento Simone Murta Cardoso do
Published: March 2019

Este artigo pretende demonstrar a necessidade de alteração da concepção ética e cultural para a adequada aplicação dos princípios jurídicos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e da Equidade Intergeracional, para preservar a qualidade ambiental e a saudável condição de vida da geração presente e das futuras. Para tanto, é preciso desvincular a ação humana sobre o meio ambiente da tradição exploratória, assim como adotar a chamada posição antropocêntrica alargada que deve ser permeada pela responsabilidade tanto em relação aos outros seres que compõem a biodiversidade quanto pelos descendentes. A contribuição de diversas áreas do conhecimento é relevante para a análise da questão. Assim, toma-se de empréstimo o conceito de grande “Outro” oriundo da teoria lacaniana que demonstra como a introjeção de significantes simbólicos torna possível a ação moral em razão das gerações futuras.
Leading Beautifully: The Creative Economy and Beyond
Authors: Adler Nancy J.
Published: March 2019

Only by investing in the artistry of our humanity
will we create a peaceful, prosperous planet
 “These times are riven with anxiety and uncertainty” asserts John O’Donohue.1 “In the hearts of people some natural ease has been broken. … Our trust in the future has lost its innocence. We know now that anything can happen. … The traditional structures of shelter are shaking, their foundations revealed to be no longer stone but sand. We are suddenly thrown back on ourselves. At first, it sounds completely naïve to suggest that now might be the time to invoke beauty. Yet this is exactly what … [we claim]. Why? Because there is nowhere else to turn and we are desperate; furthermore, it is because we have so disastrously neglected the Beautiful that we now find ourselves in such a terrible crisis.”2 Twenty‑first century society yearns for a leadership of possibility, a leadership based more on hope, aspiration, innovation, and beauty than on the replication of historical patterns of constrained pragmatism. Luckily, such a leadership is possible today. For the first time in history, leaders can work backward from their aspirations and imagination rather than forward from the past.3 “The gap between what people can imagine and what they can accomplish has never been smaller.”4 Responding to the challenges and yearnings of the twenty‑first century demands anticipatory creativity. Designing options worthy of implementation calls for levels of inspiration, creativity, and a passionate commitment to beauty that, until recently, have been more the province of artists and artistic processes than the domain of most managers. The time is right for the artistic imagination of each of us to co‑create the leadership that the world most needs and deserves.

Die Regulierung anlagevermittelnder und -beratender Internet-Plattformen
Authors: Winde Viktoria
Published: March 2019

Investment brokerage and advice platforms, such as crowd-investing platforms and robo-advisors, are innovative forms which raise new legal questions and test conventional legal ways of thinking as well as traditional legal rules. The research paper examines the complicated legal structure of investment broking and advice platforms with regard to the legal requirements in civil, supervisory, and telecommunication law.
Contrary to the academic discourse, the book does not only examine the relation of several fields of regulations, but ascertains the legal structure in its entirety, so that a general picture is visible.
Within the book, a main emphasis is put on areas of tension which arise due to the fact of norm conflicts, collision of judicial principles of law and divergence of terminology. Taking up these findings and inspired by French law, the author discusses more effective alternatives for the regulation of these platforms.

Published: March 2019

O artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a Lagoinha, tradicional bairro de Belo Horizonte, localizado na região central a partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa baseada na técnica da observação participante e tem como objetivo a compreensão do processo de transformação do bairro. Por meio do resgate de sua história, constatou-se a importância do bairro, que foi alvo de várias intervenções do poder público em função da malha viária da área central e da estruturação do transporte público metropolitano, e, com os anos passou por um processo de decadência que, recentemente, vem se manifestando, de forma marcante, pela degradação e também pela apropriação de seu espaço por usuários de crack. A apreensão da realidade do lugar se deu a partir de suas representações e apontam para mudanças em sua dimensão simbólica.

The results show which are the categories associated with inter-communication and technological knowledge which should operate for short-term organizational change impacts when it is intended to facilitate entry into a process associativity within the sector. The analysis shows that inter-communication has an impact on organizational change. However, technological knowledge is still scarce, and does not show enough evidence to affect organizational change.
A Trajetória das Cervejarias Artesanais Brasileiras em Busca de Legitimação e Institucionalização: Uma Análise a partir de suas Práticas Estratégicas Discursivas
Authors: Tonelli Adriano Olímpio , Borges Alex Fernando , Brito Mozar José de , Zambalde André Luiz
Published: March 2019

This work aims to identify and understand the discursive practices conducted by craft breweries in search of legitimacy in the Brazilian brew industry. To this end, we combine strategy as practice, institutionalism and critical discourse analysis. The results show that the Brazilian industry of craft beer is seeking for institutionalization towards the regulatory environment and customers. This quest for legitimacy is based on discursive practices that reveal power struggles with large scale breweries. In this sense, the production and consumption of beer is seen as an ideology characterized by strong confrontation and opposition to institutionalized practices in Brazil. Therefore, possibilities for building through discursive practices, a field conductive to the craft brew movement in Brazil are identified. Ultimately, these discursive practices can lead the microbreweries to emancipate from the field institutionalized by the large-scale beer production.

Published: March 2019

The budget allotment among federal universities is based on a mathematical model that considers the production and the academic performance of each institution in a set of variables, presenting as result the budget amount that each university is entitled. It is essential that university administrators know, follow and are structured in favor of the best results in the variables that follow this model. Investigating the university's commitment to improve its management skills in support of effective incorporation of the budget model in its habits and routines can lead to discoveries and important contributions to the improvement of management. It has been appealed to the Institutional Theory, from the perspective of stages of Habitualization, Objectification and Sedimentation to identify motivators and inhibitors of the complete institutionalization of the model, the perception of the six managers of budget planning area that, in the period 2001-2011, occupied Forplad’s coordinators function and its Model Committee. Characterized as a descriptive research with a qualitative approach, the applied interviews were submitted to Content Analysis Technique. It can be concluded that the budget model is an instrument of great importance in the process of transparency and university public administration, however, it presents inhibiting factors to its best level of institutionalization in the three stages.
Estruturas de governança híbridas em redes de cooperativas de crédito brasileiras e canadenses sob a ótica da teoria dos custos de transação
Authors: Arruda Alessandro Gustavo Souza , Faria Ana Cristina de , Romeiro Maria do Carmo , Fernandes Francisco Carlos
Published: March 2019

This paper aims at building a theoretical model that characterizes the influence of Hybrid Governance Structures (HGS) in Transaction Costs (TC) of credit cooperatives networks in Brazil and Canada. From the characterization of the variables that influence the TC, it's possible to perform a discrete analysis of hybrid forms of governance which is characteristic of strategic networks of credit cooperatives canadian Desjardins and brazilian Sicredi. The case studies analysis proved that the evolution of HGS was simultaneous with the evolution of the legal and institutional environment, in a dialectical process. However, one can see that while evolving from different legal and institutional environments, there is a tendency to homogeneity in these networks, at least in the creation of ad hoc institutions to deal with the most significant TC. An equation was inferred at the final section of the work, to perform the comparison of the costs of HGS with the transaction of financial intermediation of credit cooperatives networks. The model can be used to compare the analysed TC with the correpondent costs of lean financial institutions. According to this equation, the cost to carry out internal transactions to the network, in addition to the costs arising from the political and social pressures present in this type of institution, must be less than or equal to TC of financial institutions with hierarchical governance structures. This not only corroborates the discriminating alignment hypothesis of Williamson (2005), but adds elements for classification and analysis of these costs.

Published: March 2019

This study proposes a model for organizational strategic management of a credit union, through the use of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and the perspectives proposed by Kaplan and Norton (1997), to identify what are the benefits that the implementation of the BSC can offer for a credit union. Characterized as an exploratory case study applied to a credit union in the state of Santa Catarina, with analysis of qualitative data. For structuring the proposal considered the responses of managers and employees and the four perspectives proposed by the BSC, pondering goals, objectives and initiatives for financial prospects, customers, internal processes and learning and growth. The study results show that: (i) the weaknesses of the institution can be corrected based on goals and initiatives especially from the standpoint of customers and improve internal processes; (ii) identification of goals and objectives allows the definition of initiatives directly focused on achieving better outcomes for the entity; (iii) strategies for the management of the credit union are reflected in initiatives that aggregate and involve all employees through the methodology proposed by the BSC.

Authors: Palma Lisiane Celia , Pedrozo Eugênio Ávila , Alves Nilo Barcelos
Published: March 2019

Sustainability has imposed challenges to organizations. It increasingly requires organizations to consider in their strategies issues that go beyond the strictly economic focus. That way, in order that organizations can move towards sustainability-oriented strategies, they should go through a process of change. In this process, Business Administration Schools play a fundamental role, since many managers who lead organizations today, or will do it soon, are influenced and learn to acquire, in these schools, a particular vision in relation to human beings, organizations and their relationship with nature. Therefore, this article aims to identify whether Bachelor’s degree courses in Business Administration in Rio Grande do Sul (RS), have proposed the inclusion of sustainability into their programs. The results demonstrated that the courses already have subjects related to the topic in their curricula, however sustainability does not seems to be a central issue in the courses.

The purpose of this work was to identify the elements that make up the psychological contract of professionals with higher education qualifications and who previously worked in the private sector, but who now work in public organizations. The recent trend in the Brazilian job market favoring positions in the public sector, as evidenced by the growing interest shown in openings in this area, is the main motivation behind this present work, which seeks to understand what the main attractions of this particular kind of employment might be. The results of the survey that were carried out suggest that among the main attractions of working in the public sector include a steady pace of work, job stability and good wages and benefits, although aspects such as corporate image, professional challenges and incentives for furthering one’s education are also relevant according to those interviewed.
Assessing emerging multinationals “Global Mindedness” profiles
Authors: Reis Germano Glufke , Fleury Maria Tereza Leme , Fleury Afonso , Zambaldi Felipe
Published: March 2019

Despite the relevance of developing a global mindedness (GM) in order for firms to explore global opportunities, extant literature on GM has mostly focused on developed country multinationals, overlooking its relevance to emerging country multinationals which have unique features and internationalization patterns. In addition, the studies addressing the impacts of GM on internationalization have mostly relied on the assumption of homogeneity rather than differentiation of GM among multinationals of the same country. This study addresses this theme by exploring GM diversity among Brazilian multinationals. For that purpose, a previously developed multidimensional GM scale is adapted and validated by means of a pretest and a confirmatory factor analysis with Bayesian estimators, and used as the basis for a hierarchal cluster analysis, later optimized by means of the K-means algorithm. As a result, a GM taxonomy is identified, encompassing fully globally minded, cross-culturally skilled, international market-oriented, and domestic market-oriented multinationals. To illustrate the taxonomy, four case studies involving major Brazilian multinationals are brought to the fore by means of interviews and secondary data. The configurations identified points to the need to study GM in conjunction with both institutional and economic factors in order to explain singularities of the internationalization of emerging companies and also differentiations among firms from a single emerging country.

Authors: Matos Hélio Trindade de , Ramos Heidy Rodriguez , Rodrigues Jaime Blanco
Published: March 2019

This article presents the inhibitory factors perceived by Business Administration students to the promotion of adequate conditions for creativity expression and development in professional training. It investigates the factors inhibiting the promotion of creativity in Higher Education, pointed out individually in the literature, but also investigates them collectively in three groups: board of the higher education unit, pedagogical coordination and teaching staff. The research was carried out in Higher Education Institutions (HEI), both private and public, with the participation of 262 students. The results indicated that the main factors inhibiting creativity promotion are those related to the board and the teaching staff of HEI. Individually the three main inhibitory factors pointed out by the students were: scarcity of material resources, high number of students in the classroom and presence of undisciplined students that disrupt teaching work. It should be noted that the perception regarding inhibitory factors did not vary among students from public and private institutions.
Abordagem da perspectiva neoinstitucional para processos de internacionalização de empresas de países emergentes
Authors: Silva Luciano Messina Pereira da , Lopes Fernando Dias
Published: March 2019

This theoretical essay seeks to associate the current knowledge of internationalization processes that considers economic aspects as motivators and cultural aspects as barriers, with aspects related to the Institutional Theory. Institutional theory concepts aren’t considered thoroughly when dealing with country level variables regarding to internationalization processes, and these authors barely study institutions’ influence in the internationalization process of a given company. A review of literature regarding internationalization processes and institutional theory was performed, and it was complemented by an approach that assumes an institution-based view complementing the industry-based view and resource-based view for internationalization strategy, forming the strategy tripod. The literature review also considers the influence of the institutional environment when a multinational company chooses the entry mode in a new country. It concludes that the presence of institutional aspects is at least implied when dealing with cultural issues in internationalization processes and cannot be disregarded.

This work aims at analysing how gym academies are responding to the phenomenon of population ageing. Some research and studies have already pointed out specific needs of the elderly segment. However, this work intends to discuss the aging market and the supply of sports services and academies for individuals over 40 years old (the aging segment), who start to present physical needs and limitations associated with the aging process. The research approach is qualitative descriptive and the data was obtained through interviews with owners or staff of academies located in the metropolitan region of Campinas. The analysis of the results indicated the recognition of the potential of senior and mature consumers (between 40-59 years old). However none of the respondents had practices and services that exclusively met the needs of this group of consumers. In this context, the research sought to identify the factors and attributes most relevant to the supply of services of academies to the aging public, based on the recognition of the opportunity and the potential posed by this market. The study presents some contribution to the area of marketing services, as also adds relevant aspects to the development of businesses that seek this potential market.

Population concentration in urban centers has been a hallmark of the world development process. In this sense, the challenges of sustainable development are increasingly concentrated in cities. Thus, considering the relevance of city planning for a more sustainable development, especially for living in an increasingly urban society, this study aims to identify the main characteristics of the international scientific production related to this theme in the last ten years. For that, a bibliometric study was developed through the Web of Science database, relating the terms "sustainable development" and "urban". It should be noted that when analyzing the citations of related publications, it is observed that this combination of topics is considered a hot topic, while it has a high impact index and can be considered as an exclusive topic, with a scope in several areas of knowledge or unique characteristics.

This study aimed to identify the competencies for sustainability of the public servers of a Brazilian public university in order to better understand the skills necessary to achieve sustainability in higher education institutions. A study carried out by documental research was conducted to identify how the sustainability is treated in the institution’s documents, in sequence a survey was conducted with 549 subjects. The findings reveal that the skills for sustainability are more focused on the individual level. It is necessary, therefore, that the university develops strategies and actions focused on the collective level. Institutionally, the university can promote and encourage training courses on education and sustainable management, development announcements that value stocks and interdisciplinary projects for sustainability and structuring of a sector that manage environmental issues at a strategic level.

Published: March 2019

O presente texto tem como objetivo compreender a maneira pela qual as crianças Sem Terrinha do acampamento Elizabeth Teixeira, em Limeira-SP, além de sujeitos testemunhas passam a ser protagonistas da luta pela terra. A pesquisa teve como espaço e tempo de observação as atividades educativas da Ciranda Infantil, entre 2010 e 2014. A terra foi ocupada em abril de 2007, foram despejados/as violentamente em novembro do mesmo ano e voltaram a reocupar a terra em dezembro. As crianças vivenciaram todo esse processo. Elas trazem esses elementos e memórias que se transformam em brincadeiras na Ciranda Infantil. Com o processo de reorganização interna da área, a Ciranda Infantil tornou-se um dos poucos espaços de vivência do coletivo infantil do acampamento. Lugar em que a maioria das crianças podiam se encontrar, brincar, discutir, aprender, produzir as culturas infantis participando da construção da realidade social. As questões deste artigo são provenientes do trabalho educativo e investigativo realizado pelo autor com as crianças Sem Terrinha em um acampamento de reforma agrária. Os processos vivenciados pelas crianças são foco deste texto que, a partir das observações e relatos das atividades com as crianças proveniente do exercício etnográfico do pesquisador, coloca em evidência os seus pontos de vista, possibilitando falarem de si e de suas experiências de infância no acampamento, assim como das possibilidades de transformação da realidade em que vivem, da luta por direitos e de sua constituição como sujeitos e protagonistas da história e da luta pela terra.
Experimental Study of Active T-Foil Control of Longitudinal Motions of a Trimaran Hull in Irregular Waves

High-speed ships often experience over larger ship motions in waves. Therefore, highspeed ships without motion control hardly have practical commercial values. Recent years saw wider adoptions of T-foils on high-speed ships, which greatly improve ship performances in waves. In this study, we designed a series of model tests to study the motion-reducing effects of T-foils in waves. Heaves, pitches, and bow accelerations are quantities to be measured in the experimental tests. The study shows that the reduction effects of T-foil-controlled longitudinal motions of a trimaran model are prominent. Comparing with naked model tests, it is found that active T-foil controls may reduce motions of trimaran ships in irregular waves by about 20–30%. In the most favorable case, the reduction is as high as 51%. This study shows that installation of T-foils may dramatically reduce the motions and, thus, provide an efficient control tool to mitigate ship motions in waves. The main aims of the present study were to provide an experimental setup for model testing of an active T-foil control system and determine the control equations. Although the control and actuation systems designed in this study are simple, they do produce the required effects. The model-tested control equations can be used for high-speed foil-type ship design directly if proper similarity ratios are used to project the model test results to real ships.

1. Introduction

Increasing the length-to-beam ratio is one of the most effective ways to reduce wave-making resistance so that high speed can be achieved (Ackers et al. 1998). High-speed ships with very slender hulls are, however, not stable. Placing two small side hulls on the port and starboard with displacements less than 10% of the total ship displacements improves the ship's stability greatly. This simple consideration led to the fast development of trimaran hull forms in recent years (Coppola & Mandarino 2001; Degiuli et al. 2003; Oh et al. 2005). Encouraged by the successful sea trials of the 127-m-long littoral combat ship Independence at the speed of 50 knots, researchers move forward to search for new technology to improve the motion performances of trimaran hull forms in waves (Li et al. 2002; Hebblewhite et al. 2007; Jia et al. 2009). This is because high-speed ships are faced with the big challenge of severe oscillations in waves. Too large motion responses in waves would counterbalance the high-speed benefits. Therefore, motion control is crucial for high-speed trimaran ships.
Lygia Clark: Os limites do gênero do corpo na série Roupa-corpo-roupa
Authors:   Universidade Federal do Paraná, Bortolon Flavia Jakemiu Araujo
Published: March 2019

O artigo pretende debater as questões dos limites do corpo conforme proposto pela artista plástica brasileira Lygia Clark, por meio de suas obras sensoriais (1965/1969). Para tal fim, foi realizada uma pesquisa documental em textos de críticos de arte, jornais e cartas da artista, durante o período de sua produção até exposições mais recentes. O corpo passou a fazer parte da obra, possibilitando o questionamento das sensações que são impostas por instrumentos (objetos sensoriais) e por espaços onde se inserem. A obra desses artistas passou a questionar não somente o que é arte, mas também o local onde essas peças podiam ser apresentadas. Leitora do filósofo Merleau-Ponty, Clark propunha experiências fenomenológicas, participativas, que não deixavam o espectador passivo perante os movimentos do objeto e do corpo. Assim, Lygia Clark posicionou-se diante dos limites, sensoriais e éticos do corpo, a interação entre corpo e obra por meio da problematização ou mesmo da inversão de performances generificadas.

In this article, we examine how social studies teachers’ say they interpret and use different parts of the curriculum in order to teach for democracy. The empirical material of the study is based on a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with teachers in secondary school in Norway. We present three main find-ings. A first finding is that most social studies teachers plan their instruction based on the subject-specific competence aims. For most teachers, the general part of the curriculum, where democratic education is highlighted, does not constitute an articulated part of instruction. Some teachers feel, however, that they still work in accord with this part of the curriculum, but in a way better described as tacit. A second finding is that teachers agree that the subject-specific competence aims are comprehensive and that many teachers agree they are too comprehensive. A third finding is that the teachers disagree about whether conditions for democratic citizenship education are adequate or not. We suggest two inter-related reasons for this disa-greement. One reason is somewhat different interpretations of and emphasis put on the mandate to teach for democracy by different teachers. A second reason is differences in pedagogy and school culture.
