A micro-model of managerial power
Authors: Templer Andrew J.
Published: January 2020

In this second article in a series of three on power, the general model of managerial power presented in the first article is expanded to cover the micro-level of power analysis. At this level the focus is upon the interpersonal power relationship between manager and subordinate. It is suggested that a key facet of the micro-model of managerial power is the concept of a psychological contract between manager and employee. It is concluded that management is only able to exercise power to the extent that employees perceive that the terms of their psychological contract have been honoured. In hierdie tweede artikel in 'n reeks van drie oor mag, word die algemene model van bestuursmag in die eerste artikel uitgebrei om die mikrovlak van magsontleding in te sluit. Op hierdie vlak val die klem op die interpersoonlike magsverhouding tussen bestuurder en ondergeskikte. Dit word aangevoer dat die begrip van 'n sielkundige kontrak tussen bestuurder en werknemer 'n sleutelfaset is van die mikromodel van bestuursmag. Daar word tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat bestuurders alleen in staat is om mag uit te oefen in die mate waarin werkgewers van mening is dat daar aan die terme van hulle sielkundige kontrak gestand gedoen word.

Management and environmental change. The firm currently operates in a fast-changing environment in which variables such as technology, the economy and social change create a complex and often unstable environment. The creation of new and often complex goods and services through technological innovation poses new marketing, production and financial problems for management. To keep the firm in equilibrium with this changing environment requires changes in management. It is therefore necessary that management carefully consider the management of change and that management education incorporate the education of managers of change. This calls for a greater environmental awareness by management, changes in management approaches and more multidisciplinary research and environmental scanning as aids to management.Die onderneming beweeg tans in 'n snelveranderende omgewing waarin veranderlikes soos die tegnologie, die ekonomie en sosiale verandering 'n komplekse en dikwels onbestendige omgewing skep. Die oorlewingsvraagstuk van die onderneming berus op die omgewing waarin die omgewingsveranderlikes toenemend die gedrag en ontwikkelingsgang van die onderneming bepaal. Om die onderneming in ewewig te hou met hierdie snelveranderende omgewing is ewe snel bestuursverandering nodig en het dit nodig geword dat bestuur besin oor die bestuur van verandering en dat bedryfsekonomiese opleiding besin oor die opleiding van bestuurders van verandering. Dit eis groter omgewingsbewustheid deur bestuur, verandering in bestuursbenaderings en meer multidissiplinere navorsing en omgewingsverkenning as hulpmiddels vir bestuur.
South African conglomerates: A qualitative analysis
Authors: Mackintosh R. G.J. , Bisotto F. E.
Published: January 2020

This qualitative analysis is based on research on conglomerates not previously undertaken in South Africa. Founded on the work of corporate strategy and development theorists, the research is aimed at establishing a 'character profile' of South African conglomerates. What differentiates passive and acquisitive conglomerates in terms of organizational structure, management function, style, and strategy, is also considered. The information for this analysis is derived from the results of a mail survey. The research findings indicate that in general South African conglomerates are structured on a multi-divisional basis with divisions specializing in product-market rather than functional relationships. Divisions tend to be controlled at arm's length by their corporate head offices, who perform auxiliary and co-ordinating functions. Compared to acquisitives, passives appear to be less flexible in their management style, function, and control. In terms of their strategy, passives tend to be, for the immediate future at least, more aggressive than acquisitives.Hierdie kwalitatiewe ontleding is gebaseer op navorsing oor konglomerate wat nie voorheen in Suid-Afrika onderneem is nie. Die navorsing, gebaseer op die werk van teoretici oor ondernemingstrategie en -ontwikkeling, beoog om 'n 'karakterprofiel' van Suid·Afrikaanse konglomerate daar te stel. Die verskilpunt tussen passiewe en aankopende ('acquisitive') konglomerate wat organisasiestruktuur, bestuursfunksie, styl en strategie betref, word ook beskou. Die inligting vir hierdie ontleding is verkry uit die resultate van 'n opname wat per pos geloods is. Die navorsingsbevindinge dui aan dat Suid-Afrikaanse konglomerate in die algemeen gestruktureer is op 'n multi-afdelingsbasis, met afdelings wat meer spesialiseer volgens produkmark as volgens funksionele verwantskappe. Afdelings word dikwels op 'n afstand beheer deur die moedermaatskappy se hoofkantoor, wat ondersteunende en koordinerende funksies verrig. In vergelyking met aankopende maatskappye, is passiewe maatskappye skynbaar minder buigsaam in hulle bestuurstyl, funksionering en beheer. Wat hulle strategie betref, neig passiewe konglomerate om ten minste ten opsigte van die onmiddellike toekoms, meer aggressief as aankopende konglomerate te wees.
Some tentative comments on the black manager in a white world
Authors: Human Linda
Published: January 2020

This paper argues that, with respect to the black manager in a white world, our theories, methodologies and research programmes have tended to concentrate on behaviour and frequency at the expense of experience and meaning, with the result that we may have failed to isolate some of the reasons for the underperformance of some black managers within white organizations. Investigation of both behaviour and experience suggests that underperformance may be associated as much with the marginal position of the black manager as with culture, education and discrimination. Therefore - apart from solutions to the problems associated with blatant or obtrusive cultural differences (such as language), apart from the problems associated with an educational system grossly inferior to that of Whites and apart from solutions to problems associated with discrimination - solutions must also be found to the problems associated with the peculiar situation in which the black manager finds himself. In other words, an attempt must be made to reduce the inconsistencies, ambiguities and conflicts with which black managers are faced. Some potential solutions to the problems confronted by black managers are suggested.In die artikel word aangevoer dat, wat die swart bestuurder in 'n wit wereld betref, ons teoriee, metodologiee en navorsingsprogramme geneig was om te konsentreer op gedrag en frekwensie ten koste van ervaring en betekenis. Die benadering mag veroorsaak het dat ons sommige van die redes vir die onderprestasie van sommige swart bestuurders binne blanke organisasies, nie behoorlik geisoleer het nie. Ondersoek van sowel gedrag as ervaring dui aan dat onderprestasie in net so 'n groot mate met die marginale posisie van die swart bestuurder mag verband hou, as met kultuur, opleiding en diskriminasie. Dus - naas oplossings vir die probleme wat verband hou met blatante of opvallende kultuurverskille (soos taal), naas probleme met 'n onderwysstelsel wat merkbaar minderwaardig is teenoor die van Blankes en naas oplossings vir probleme wat met diskriminasie verband hou - moet oplossings ook gevind word vir die probleme wat te doen het met die besondere situasie waarin die swart bestuurder hom bevind. Met ander woorde, 'n poging moet aangewend word om die teenstrydighede, dubbelsinnighede en konflikte waarteenoor die swart bestuurder te staan kom, te verminder. Sommige potensiele oplossings vir die probleme wat swart bestuurders moet konfronteer, word voorgestel.

Published: January 2020

The aim of our study was to determine the effect of preoperative urodynamic reading of valsalva leak point pressure on the result of mid-urethral sling surgery. From January 2010 to December 2014, a total of 207 patients underwent mid-urethral sling surgery at the Toronto Western Hospital. An incontinence questionnaire was sent to 94 patients who accepted to be involved in the study to examine satisfaction post-surgery. Forty-five patients replied and were included in the analysis. The patients were divided into three groups according to valsalva leak point pressure (< 60, 60-80 and > 80 cm H2O) determined on urodynamic testing. Of the forty-five patients who responded to the questionnaire, seven were excluded for only having had stress testing done and two were excluded due to intermittent catheterization. Thirteen patients had evidence of detrusor overactivity on urodynamic testing. Simple linear regression analysis was done for the three groups of the valsalva leak point pressure values and correlation to satisfaction was found -0.263, -0.236, and -0.148, respectively. In this current study, we could not find a relation between valsalva leak point pressure values and the self-reported satisfaction post-surgical correction.

Published: January 2020

In the absence of specialized care centers for hemoglobinopathies in Saudi Arabia, there are insufficient data on prevalence of clinical complications in this population. This is a retrospective record review about the clinical complications associated with hemoglobinopathies at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, for patients followed between January 1st 2010 through June 30th 2016. A total of 349 patients were included, with a mean age of 25.45 years, including 266 with sickle cell disease and 80 with thalassemia. Of those receiving regular transfusions, 17.5% developed alloantibodies, 16.6% tested positive for hepatitis C virus antibodies and the mean ferritin level was 2487 ng/ml. Almost half of the patients were screened for renal disease, and more than 50% were found to have proteinuria. Of 203 patients with recent echocardiograms, 15.8% had pulmonary hypertension. Thirty-one (8.9%) patients died at a mean age of 28.5 years. In conclusion, the prevalence of disease related complications is high in hemoglobinopathies. Our results reiterate the need for specialized care hemoglobinopathy centers, which can further improve patient outcomes.
Monthly and Seasonal Variation of the Tropopause Pressure on the Middle East
Authors: Abdulhaleem Hussin Labban Abdulhaleem Hussin Labban
Published: January 2020

tropopause is the natural boundary between two different atmospheric layers, that is, stratosphere and troposphere. However, both of these layers (stratosphere and troposphere) differs significantly in terms of various dynamical and chemical parameters (for example, temperature, pressure, water vapors, etc.). It is therefore necessary to study the tropopause in order to better understand the static and dynamic conditions of aforementioned atmospheric parameters. This study therefore highlights the monthly and seasonal variation of tropopause pressure over the Middle East region. For this, reanalysis data set of tropopause pressure over Middle-East through the period from 1948 to 2006 are acquired from National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). Average of monthly and seasonal tropopause pressure distribution over the study region are estimated and discussed. The results of the study show that the summer seasons and the first month of autumn season have similar tropopause pressure distribution over the study region. The results of the study also show that the distribution of tropopause pressure for summer season started as a short wave at the end of spring season. In addition, northern part of the study region has zonal distribution of tropopause pressure with the exception of summer season as well as for the first month of autumn season.
Insecticidal Activity of Diverse Extracts of the Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Against the Blue Green Aphid Acyrthosiphon Kondoi Shinji
Authors: Naimah Asid Alanazi Naimah Asid Alanazi
Published: January 2020

The efficiency of three different extracts from stem and leaf of Citrullus colocynthis against the blue green aphid Acyrthosiphon kondoi Shinji was studied. Results showed that the ethanolic extracts from the two parts of C.colocynthis caused higher mortalities of aphids after 48 hours (96 % and 93 % for the stem and leaf, respectively). Toxicological parameters demonstrated that ethanolic extract from the stem of C.colocynthis was more toxic to aphids than leaf extract. This study suggests that detailed chemistry on the stem of C. colocynthis is required before applying it in the integrated pest management of aphids.
Determination of Pesticide Residues in Most Commonly Consumed Leafy Vegetables in Riyadh Region (Al-Kharej Province)
Authors: Turki Kh. Faraj Turki Kh. Faraj
Published: January 2020

A total of 81 samples of various leafy vegetables viz., Rocket (Eruca sativa), Lettuce (Lactuca sativa), Coriander (Coriandrum sativum), Corchorus (Corchorus olitorius), Parsley (Petroselinum crispum), Spinach (Spinacia oleracea), Radish (Raphanus sativus), Dill (Anethum graveolens), Mint (Mentha sachalinensis) and Green onions (Allium cepa) were collected from 20 different areas in Riyadh region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Liquid-Liquid Extraction of extraction partitioning method and confirmation by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer for the presence of various pesticide residues was performed. Pesticide residues were detected in all the collected samples with varying concentrations. A variety of pesticides including organochlorines, organophosphates, pyrethroids, carbamates, herbicides, acaricides and insecticides have been identified in the samples. While the residue levels were low for most pesticides, higher levels of chlorpyrifos (0.123 mg/kg and resmethrin (0.1 mg/kg) were found in Rocket, carbaryl (0.92 mg/kg) in spinach and corchorus (0.116 mg/kg), permethrin (total cis + trans permethrin) inlettuce (0.103 mg/kg) and coriander (0.126 mg/kg), and cypermethrin in parsley (0.126 ppm). The highest maximum residue limit (MRL) values of pesticide residues on leafy vegetables of 0.10 mg/kg were observed for carbaryl in Spinach and Corchorus, whereas in Parsley an MRL of 0.5 mg/kg was found. The current research shows that in some leafy vegetables, higher doses of pesticides were found.
A Quality Improvement Initiative to Increase the Number of Pediatric Resident Laceration Repairs
Authors: Wagner Tracey L. , Dunn Michael W. , Iyer Maya S. , Buckingham Don , Spencer Sandra P.
Published: January 2020

Background

Pediatric residents must demonstrate competence in several clinical procedures prior to graduation, including simple laceration repair. However, residents may lack opportunities to perform laceration repairs during training, affecting their ability and confidence to perform this procedure.

Objective

We implemented a quality improvement initiative to increase the number of laceration repairs logged by pediatric residents from a baseline mean of 6.75 per month to more than 30 repairs logged monthly.

Methods

We followed the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Model for Improvement with rapid plan-do-study-act cycles. From July 2016 to February 2018, we increased the number of procedure shifts and added an education module on performing laceration repairs for residents in a pediatric emergency department at a large tertiary hospital. We used statistical process control charting to document improvement. Our outcome measure was the number of laceration repairs documented in resident procedure logs. We followed the percentage of lacerations repairs completed by residents as a process measure and length of stay as a balancing measure.

Results

Following the interventions, logged laceration repairs initially increased from 6.75 to 22.75 per month for the residency program. After the number of procedure shifts decreased, logged repairs decreased to 13.40 per month and the percentage of lacerations repaired by residents also decreased. We noted an increased length of stay for patients whose lacerations were repaired by residents.

Conclusions

While our objective was not met, our quality improvement initiative resulted in more logged laceration repairs. The most effective intervention was dedicated procedure shifts.
The soil organic carbon stabilization potential of old and new wheat cultivars: a 13CO2 labelling study

Published: January 2020

Abstract. Over the past decades, average global wheat yields have increased by about 250 %, mainly due to the cultivation of high-yielding wheat cultivars. This selection process not only affected aboveground parts of plants, but in some cases also reduced the root biomass, with potentially large consequences for the amount of organic carbon (OC) transferred to the soil. To study the effect of wheat breeding for high-yielding cultivars on subsoil OC dynamics, two old and two new wheat cultivars from the Swiss wheat breeding program were grown for one growing season in 1.5 m-deep lysimeters and pulse-labelled with 13CO2, to quantify the amount of assimilated carbon that was transferred belowground and potentially stabilized in the soil. The results show that although the old wheat cultivars with higher root biomass transferred more assimilated carbon belowground compared to more recent cultivars, no significant differences in net soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization were found between the different cultivars. As a consequence, the long-term effect of wheat cultivar selection on SOC stocks will depend on the amount of root biomass that is stabilized in the soil. Our results suggest that the process of wheat selection for high-yielding cultivars resulted in lower amounts of belowground carbon translocation, with potentially important effects on SOC stocks. Further research is necessary to quantify the long-term importance of this effect.
Dimensional analysis of a landscape evolution model with incision threshold
Authors: Theodoratos Nikos , Kirchner James W.
Published: January 2020

Abstract. The ability of erosional processes to incise into a topographic surface can be limited by a threshold. Incision thresholds affect the topography of landscapes and their scaling properties, and can introduce non-linear relations between climate and erosion with notable implications for long-term landscape evolution. Despite their potential importance, incision thresholds are often omitted from the incision terms of landscape evolution models (LEMs) to simplify analyses. Here, we present theoretical and numerical results from a dimensional analysis of an LEM that includes terms for threshold-limited stream-power incision, linear diffusion, and uplift. The LEM is parameterized by four parameters (incision coefficient and incision threshold, diffusion coefficient, and uplift rate). The LEM's governing equation can be greatly simplified by recasting it in a dimensionless form that depends on only one dimensionless parameter, the incision-threshold number Nθ. This dimensionless parameter is defined in terms of the incision threshold, the incision coefficient, and the uplift rate, and it quantifies the reduction in the rate of incision due to the incision threshold relative to the uplift rate. Being the only parameter in the dimensionless governing equation, Nθ is the only parameter controlling the evolution of landscapes in this LEM. Thus, landscapes with the same Nθ will evolve geometrically similarly, provided that their boundary and initial conditions are normalized according to appropriate scaling relationships, as we demonstrate using a numerical experiment. In contrast, landscapes with different Nθ values will be influenced to different degrees by their incision thresholds. Using results from a second set of numerical simulations, each with a different incision-threshold number, we qualitatively illustrate how the value of Nθ influences the topography, and we show that relief scales with the quantity Nθ + 1 (except where the incision threshold reduces the rate of incision to zero).
Impact of impurities in bromocresol green indicator dye on
spectrophotometric total alkalinity measurements
Authors: Seelmann Katharina , Gledhill Martha , Aßmann Steffen , Körtzinger Arne
Published: January 2020

Abstract. Due to its accurate and precise character, the spectrophotometric pH detection is a common technique applied in measurement methods for carbonate system parameters. However, impurities in the used pH indicator dyes can influence the measurements quality. The work described here focuses on influences from impurities in the pH indicator dye bromocresol green (BCG) on spectrophotometric seawater total alkalinity (AT) measurements. First, a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purification method for BCG was developed. A subsequent analysis of BCG dye from four different vendors with this method revealed different types and quantities of impurities. After successful purification, AT measurements with purified and unpurified BCG were carried out using the novel autonomous analyzer CONTROS HydroFIA® TA. Long-term measurements in the laboratory revealed a direct influence of impurity types and quantities on the drift behavior of the analyzer. The purer the BCG, the smaller was the drift increment per measurement. Furthermore, we could show that a certain impurity in some indicator dyes changed the drift pattern from linear to non-linear, which can impair the AT measurements during a long-term deployment of the system. Laboratory performance characterization experiments revealed no improvement of the measurement quality (precision and accuracy) by using purified BCG as long as the impurities of the unpurified dye do not exceed a quantity of 2 % (relationship of peak areas in the chromatogram). However, BCG with impurity quantities higher than 6 % provided AT values, which failed fundamental quality requirements. Concluding, to gain optimal AT measurements, an indicator purification is not necessarily required as long as the purchased dye has a purity level of at least 98 %.
Improved GNSS-R bi-static altimetry and independent DEMs of Greenland and Antarctica from TechDemoSat-1
Authors: Cartwright Jessica , Banks Christopher J. , Srokosz Meric
Published: January 2020

Abstract. Improved Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets are presented, derived from Global Navigation Satellite Systems-Reflectometry (GNSS-R). This builds on a previous study (Cartwright et al., 2018) using GNSS-R to derive an Antarctic DEM but uses improved processing and an additional 13 months of measurements, totalling 46 months of data from the UK TechDemoSat-1 satellite. A median bias of under 10 m and root-mean-square (RMS) errors of under 53 m for the Antarctic and 166 m for Greenland are obtained, as compared to existing DEMs. The results represent, compared to the earlier study, a halving of the median bias to 9 m, an improvement in coverage of 18 %, and a four times higher spatial resolution (now gridded at 25 km). In addition, these are the first published satellite altimetry measurements of the region surrounding the South Pole. Comparisons south of 88° S yield RMS errors of less than 33 m when compared to NASA’s Operation IceBridge measurements. Differences between DEMs are explored and the future potential for ice sheet monitoring by this technique is noted.
Espectros

Published: January 2020

Este editorial reflexiona sobre que la memoria colectiva se transmite, cada vez con mayor frecuencia, en y desde los medios de comunicación. De manera continua, estos medios están produciendo formas simbólicas sobre el pasado. Con frecuencia, se construyen acontecimientos inmediatos y en serie, siguiendo la lógica de producción de una fábrica. Esto sucede, sobre todo, en los medios de información que paradójicamente son los menos estudiados. La consecuencia de esta producción en masa del acontecimiento es la de un presente continuo, obturado y “autista”, que, como lo diría Jacques Derrida, produce espectros, los que, cuando los hechos se refieren a un conflicto armado, no logran articularse en una memoria coherente que posibilite entender las razones de la guerra.
Deshumanización y legitimación de los conflictos armados en los videojuegos bélico
Authors: González-Vázquez Alejandro , Igartua Perosanz Juan José
Published: January 2020

En este artículo se pretende recoger la representación o representaciones de la guerra presentes de manera predominante en los videojuegos de géneros bélicos. Para ello, se desarrolló un análisis de contenido sobre una muestra de 62 videojuegos elaborada siguiendo como criterio de muestreo el volumen de ventas o el número de descargas en España entre los años 2005 y 2015. Dicho análisis se articuló a partir de tres ejes conceptuales: a) los elementos legitimadores de los conflictos, b) los elementos deshumanizadores del enemigo y c) los elementos desindividualizadores de los jugadores. Los resultados muestran a) la prevalencia de un discurso legitimador del conflicto centrado en la defensa, sin motivaciones territoriales o de recursos y con ausencia de civiles durante la acción del videojuego, b) un predominio de enemigos de apariencia y comportamiento homogéneo, carentes de rasgos distintivos y representados de forma realista, y c) unos personajes protagonistas caracterizados por su diseño predeterminado, su trasfondo heroico y su irreal invulnerabilidad al daño. La presente investigación, poseedora de carácter meramente descriptivo, permitie establecer una base empírica para estudios posteriores sobre la construcción de creencias y actitudes en los usuarios habituales de esta clase de ocio a través de la Teoría del Cultivo.
Del libro rojo de Winston al Black Mirror: dispositivos de control en la sociedad de la vigilancia
Authors: Arango María Rocío
Published: January 2020

Este artículo presenta una reflexión teórica respecto de la vigilancia como dispositivo garante del orden social. Afirma que el nuevo ensamblaje de vigilancia que se inaugura con la puesta en marcha de internet tiende hacia el control total de la vida mediante la coacción directa y violenta, o el entretenimiento y la diversión. Se ocupa de tres dispositivos de vigilancia significativos, a saber, el panóptico como punto de encuentro entre la sociedad disciplinaria que ya no somos y la sociedad de vigilancia que comenzamos a ser, el sinóptico o el control y la vigilancia de la vida privada, íntima y emocional, y la analítica predictiva o la preferencia por la búsqueda de correlaciones entre millones de datos disponibles sobre la cotidianidad que pretende, si no explicar la causa de los fenómenos, sí buscar nuevas formas de coacción, así como de las razones por las cuales el funcionamiento de estos dispositivos hace de la sociedad contemporánea una sociedad de la vigilancia. Al exponer las características propias de cada uno de estos dispositivos, el artículo pretende mostrar el papel de la vigilancia en la regulación de la vida social. Por último, plantea reflexiones a propósito de la pérdida de libertad que trae consigo la ganancia en confianza y seguridad producto del sometimiento voluntario o, en algunos casos, irreflexivo a nuevos modos de control sutiles y en apariencia inocentes, tales como la pertenencia a redes sociales, la suscripción electrónica a distintos servicios o la mera consulta en alguno de los buscadores más populares.
Las imágenes de las víctimas del conflicto armado en la revista Semana: políticas, significados culturales y visibilización
Authors: Olaya Gualteros Dixon Vladimir
Published: January 2020

El artículo analiza el modo en que fueron visibilizadas las víctimas a través de algunas publicaciones de la revista Semana. Se estudia cómo las imágenes, en correlación con textos periodísticos, coadyuvan en la construcción un régimen visual que contiene y refuerza la noción que de los sujetos víctimas es identificable en la Ley 975/2005, de 25 de julio y la Ley 1448/2011, de 10 de junio. Al tiempo, se sugiere que dichas imágenes interpelan a los espectadores desde lo simbólico-sensible, por lo que se constituyen en dispositivos de formación para la comprensión y narración del conflicto en Colombia. En pro de lo enunciado, se analizan algunos de los temas y de los discursos que con respecto a las víctimas circularon entre 2010 y 2014. Se estudian los componentes morfológicos de las imágenes en relación con los artículos que las acompañan, y se identifican sus relaciones con los significados culturales de la época. El artículo concluye que las imágenes que se refieren a las víctimas dan un alto valor a lo sensible como móvil para la significación de lo político, la guerra y lo humano, pero desde allí también se constituyen visibilidades que hablan del horror y son inmovilizadoras. A través de los artículos y las fotografías se construye una visibilidad de las víctimas que coadyuva a que se planteen relaciones estáticas e identidades suspendidas. Además, sitúan los acontecimientos en un peligroso presentismo que construye un marco de interpelación para los espectadores que los conduce a reconsiderar y construir ciertas significaciones ideológicas.

Triangulaire arbeidsrelaties in de platformeconomie: een voorstel tot een vermoeden van uitzendbureau

De opkomst van de platformeconomie, met als prominente voorbeelden Uber en Deliveroo, deed de discussies omtrent de aard van de arbeidsrelatie heropleven. Zijn deze platformwerkers in werkelijkheid werknemers, en is het arbeidsrecht aan hervorming toe indien ze het wel of niet zijn? Deze bijdrage heeft eveneens tot doel om de werkingssfeer van het arbeidsrecht ter discussie te stellen door de regelgeving omtrent private arbeidsbemiddeling en uitzendarbeid toe te passen op platformen. Dienaangaande bepleit deze bijdrage om ten eerste de regelgeving omtrent private arbeidsbemiddeling aan te wenden om ook de bemiddeling van dienstverleningsovereenkomsten tussen werkzoekenden en opdrachtgevers te omkaderen. Ten tweede wijst de bijdrage op de mogelijke totstandkoming van ‘verdoken’ uitzendarbeid door middel van digitale platformen. Om dit te voorkomen stellen de auteurs een ‘vermoeden van uitzendbureau’ voor.

Una exposición invisible: "Publicidad entre el arte y el diseño". Primera Parte: el marco y las historias
Authors: González Solas Javier
Published: January 2020

El artículo plantea la paradójica situación de una exposición cuyo fracaso puede consistir en que no se vea lo que se pretende por interposición de una forma de mirar estandarizada que hace invisible la lectura propuesta. El problema puede no ser exclusivo de un sector como el diseño, sino pandémico. Se intenta explicar por su dependencia de la estetización de la sociedad, propia de la situación llamada postmoderna, en la que la omisión del sentido histórico pervierte de manera ideológica el lenguaje, incluso, o sobre todo, el de la visión. La percepción original se ha transformado en visión estética, según la ideología de la una sociedad del ocio y de la emoción, que ha impuesto su hegemonía. La visión estética del mundo convierte en simulacro y espectáculo (estéticos) toda propuesta de lectura razonada.
Austin, Grice and Strawson
Authors: Rainey Stephen ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2020

Austin discusses the supposed opposition between performative and constative utterances in a paper delivered to a French audience in 1962 entitled Performative—Constative. It is his aim in this paper in a sense to recant his earlier views that such a distinction was clear. A translation of this paper made by G. J. Warnock appeared in 1972 in a collection of essays on the philosophy of language, edited by John Searle. Alongside this translation were criticisms and comments by P. F. Strawson and H. P. Grice. Taken altogether, I regard these papers as containing several important insights that have informed contemporary notions regarding meaning and communication, particularly as they are thought of by Brandom and Habermas. I follow the course of Austin's discussion in assessing the status of the distinction that gives his paper its name and consider its merits, as well as drawing upon some of Strawson's and Grice's thoughts on the matter. After these discussions, I hope that it shall be clear how indebted to these past thinkers are those important theorists of our time.
A Rawlsian Perspective on Justice for the Disabled
Authors: Cureton Adam ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2020

I aim to identify and describe some basic elements of a Rawlsian approach that may help us to think conscientiously about how, from the standpoint of justice, we should treat the disabled. Rawls has been criticized for largely ignoring issues of this sort. These criticisms lose their appeal, I suggest, when we distinguish between a Rawlsian standpoint and the limited project Rawls mainly undertakes in A Theory of Justice. There his explicit aim is to find principles of justice, which are to govern the basic structures of a closed, well-ordered society that exists under reasonably favorable conditions, that would be chosen by parties in the original position from among a small set of traditional conceptions of justice. Once we develop a conception of justice for a society like that, Rawlsians hope we can make certain revisions to find principles of justice for a society like ours. Finally, I sketch what seems to me a plausible way for a Rawlsian to begin thinking about how a society like ours should provide justice for its disabled citizens.
Aristotle and Hume on the Idea of Natural Necessity
Authors: Botting David ,   University of South Bohemia
Published: January 2020

There is a tension in scholarship about Aristotle’s philosophy, especially his philosophy of science, between empiricist readings and rationalist readings. A prime site of conflict is Posterior Analytics II.19 where Aristotle, after having said that we know the first principles by induction suddenly says that we know them by nous. Those taking the rationalist side find in nous something like a faculty of “intuition” and are led to the conclusion that by “induction” Aristotle has some kind of idea of “intuitive induction”. Those taking the empiricist side resist this temptation but then struggle to explain how we can know first principles by induction and usually end by relegating induction to a mere subsidiary role; well-known problems of induction, with which Aristotle shows some familiarity, militate against taking anything we learn from induction to be a first principle or even certain. I am on the side of the empiricists, and would like to adopt as a methodological assumption that no concept of intuition occurs in any of Aristotle’s works. That is a far more ambitious project than I am attempting here, however. Here, I want to defend a non-intuitive, enumerative kind of induction against a raft of criticisms raised against it in the collection Shifting the Paradigm: Alternative Approaches to Induction (Biondi & Groarke 2014). I want to defend the position that Hume and Aristotle have basically the same conception of induction and of what it can and cannot do. What it cannot do, for both, is prove natural necessities. A paradigm shift is neither necessary nor desirable for a proper understanding of Aristotle’s philosophy of science. Aristotle is still the empiricist philosopher we all thought he was before reading Posterior Analytics II.19
Aristóteles e Bruce Wayne: uma aula sobre Estética através do filme Batman (1989)
Authors: Yashinishi Bruno José
Published: January 2020

Aristóteles (384 a.C. – 322 a.C.), um dos principais filósofos da história, considerava a Arte como um instrumento pedagógico que possibilita repensar atitudes e tornar as pessoas melhores. Por meio da catarse, as obras trágicas são capazes de promover intensas reflexões sobre o caráter e o destino dos seres humanos. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo objetiva elucidar as concepções aristotélicas sobre a Estética através do filme Batman (1989), de Tim Burton. A proposta é relacionar a história do personagem Bruce Wayne com o conceito aristotélico de catarse, utilizando o filme como recurso didático nas aulas de Filosofia para séries do Ensino Médio.
¿Coincidencias, imitaciones, extratextualidad?
Authors: Pardo Arcadio
Published: January 2020

Se presentan en este trabajo algunos versos de poetas distantes en el tiempo y/o en el espacio. Se trata, en general, de coincidencias, de extratextualidad, sin que se pueda afirmar que haya imitación. Se señala que algunos poetas han utilizado para titular sus poemarios versos o fragmentos de versos de otros autores anteriores. En muchos casos, las coincidencias son únicamente aprovechamiento de ideas o de dichos de época, o de temas que la tradición transmite (Sin Dios, sin vos y sin mí), o de formas frecuentes (Estos que...).This article studies verses of poets who were active in diff erent times and places. In general, their verses are examples of extratextuality, as we cannot confi rm them to be the product of imitation. Nevertheless, we do exemplify how certain poets did indeed use verses or parts of verses from other earlier poets in the title of their works. Yet, in many cases, the coincidence is simply the result of incorporating ideas or popular expressions of the day, or traditional themes (Sin Dios, sin vos y sin mí, ”Without God, without you, without myself”), or common everyday grammar structures (Estos que..., “These that...”).
Impactos do eSocial na construção civil e reflexos na segurança do trabalho
Authors: Cynthiacarita Cynthia Carita Luciano da Silva Brito , Fernandes Fernando Antônio da Silva
Published: January 2020

A construção é um setor de grande representação econômica para o país, em virtude da geração de emprego e renda. Apesar da sua importância, é um setor que apresenta altos riscos de acidente no trabalho, sendo considerado um dos setores de maiores índices de acidente e morte no trabalho no país. Nesse sentido, o governo vem implantando novas técnicas para fiscalização e facilitação da regularização de empresas, inclusive de obras da construção civil, entre elas encontra-se o eSocial. Criado em 2014, o objetivo do eSocial é facilitar a administração de informações relativas aos trabalhadores, unificando e padronizando a execução de 15 obrigações fiscais, previdenciárias e trabalhistas. Dentre as obrigações trabalhistas, verifica-se a presença de documentos relativos à Saúde e Segurança no Trabalho, que devem ser regularizados pelos empregadores junto ao governo federal. Frente ao exposto, buscou-se investigar os impactos do eSocial na construção civil e seus reflexos na segurança do trabalho. Identificou-se que o eSocial é altera significativa e positivamente a rotina dos profissionais de segurança e saúde ocupacional, bem como a indústria da construção civil, visto que ele não só altera a legislação da área, como também é uma forma de verificar a prática destas legislações nas empresas. Apesar disso, muitos empregadores vem criticando o sistema, em virtude da ampla obrigatoriedade de apresentação de documentos, o que burocratiza a execução dos serviços nas empresas, o que fez com que o governo federal anunciasse a extinção do eSocial por um sistema mais simples, onde no que se refere à Saúde e Segurança no Trabalho, o novo sistema contemplará somente a obrigação quanto ao Comunidade de Acidente no Trabalho, podendo ser um impasse para a fiscalização do ambiente da construção civil.
Opresión y resistencias desde los márgenes (televisivos): El caso de 3% (Netflix, 2016-)
Authors: Aguado-Peláez Delicia
Published: January 2020

El presente estudio se adentra en la serie 3%, la primera creación brasileña de Netflix, un thriller distópico que presenta una sociedad dividida en dos órdenes antagónicos donde la población del Continente malvive entre escasez y violencia, mientras que la de Mar Alto vive un aparente sueño tecnológico. Dos estamentos impermeables cuya puerta tan sólo se abre al cumplir 20 años cuando, a través de un método de selección, el 3% de los jóvenes puede pasar a El Otro Lado. En definitiva, una creación de gran interés tanto por su temática como por ser un relato construido desde un país no hegemónico con proyección internacional. Así, a través del Análisis de Contenido Cualitativo y las herramientas del enfoque interseccional se analiza cómo se construyen las violencias y resistencias simbólicas a través de dos dimensiones: la construcción de personajes y ambientes. En conclusión, puede afirmarse que 3% supone una interesante crítica estructural a la geopolítica que pone en el centro de la trama las desigualdades existentes, alejándose de miradas hegemónicas.

This research explores the TV series 3%, the first one in being produced in Brazil, which is a dystopian thriller series where the population of the Continente survives between poverty and violence, whereas people from Mar Alto live an apparent technologic dream. A privileged life which can only be reached by the 3% of the participants of a selection process, in which twenty-years old habitants of the Continente have to complete a series of test to achieve The Other Side. In essence, a interesting production due to its thematic focus and because this narrative belongs to a non hegemonic country. Thus, using Qualitative Content Analysis and the intersectionality, this research enters into this production to understand how symbolic violence and resistances are built using these dimensions: characters and environments. In conclusion, 3% is an interesting systemic critique of the geopolitics which brings the existing inequalities into the centre of the plot, away from other hegemonic gazes.
El Ready-made de Duchamp Renueva pero no Innova: el Urinario Fontaine como Fantasmagoría Make-ready
Authors: Fortuny Agramunt Jaume
Published: January 2020

El autor analiza el efecto traumático de la idea de shock con la que Walter Benjamin describe la vida moderna y, a través de la revisión de Buck-Mors sobre esta perspectiva sensorial, realiza la interpelación siguiente: si el mundo tecnológico moderno conforma un sistema anestésico para evitar el shock perceptivo ¿cómo puede existir un objeto signo suficientemente traumático por sorprendente para ser considerado vanguardista? El artículo plantea que el único objeto artístico que puede escarnecer esta nomología anestésica es el que se muestra aislado de cualquier relación semántica con otra cosa en su propio proceso manual de realización. Un objeto carente de aproximación alusiva a otra forma. Una opción retórica que no permita la transferencia de un estilo del sujeto. La representación icónica totalmente imparcial. La forma que no pueda existir como una representación. El texto argumenta que la duplicación perfecta del ready-made Le Fontain podría serlo y concluye que Duchamp renueva pero no innova, porque el urinario queda como fantasmagoría make-ready.

The author analyzes the traumatic effect of the idea of shock with which Walter Benjamin described modern life and, through the review of Buck-Mors on this sensory perspective, makes the following interpellation: if the modern technological world forms an anaesthetic system To avoid perceptual shock, how can there be a sufficiently traumatic sign-object to be considered avant-garde? The article states that the only artistic object that can deride this anaesthetic name is that which is isolated from any semantic relationship with anything else in its own manual process of realization. An object lacking approximation allusive to another form. A rhetorical option that does not allow the transfer of a style of the subject. The iconic representation totally impartial. The form that cannot exist as a representation. The text argues that the perfect duplication of the ready-made Fontaine could be and concludes that Duchamp renews but does not innovate, because the urinal remains as a make-ready phantasmagoria.
