Społeczne i ekonomiczne konsekwencje medykalizacji starości i starzenia się
Authors: Wieczorkowska Magdalena
Published: March 2018

Procesy medykalizacji dotykają wszystkich obszarów codziennego życia, nie powinno zatem dziwić, że objęły także ostatnie etapy cyklu ludzkiego życia – starzenie się i umieranie. Zmieniająca się sytuacja demograficzna w krajach rozwiniętych spowodowała szybki przyrost populacji 65+. Generuje ona szereg wyzwań w różnych obszarach życia, m.in. w medycznym, ekonomicznym, edukacyjnym, usługowym. „Siwiejąca populacja” staje się coraz bardziej widoczna, jednak w wielu obszarach życia społecznego jest ona marginalizowana. Widoczność starości, spowodowana rosnącą liczbą seniorów, a także wydłużaniem się życia, sprawia, że w społecznej percepcji jawi się ona jako coś nieuniknionego i – być może dlatego – generuje lęk, nazywany gerontofobią. Nieefektywność wielu instytucji w rozwiązywaniu problemów seniorów powoduje ekspansję medycyny i przejęcie społecznej kontroli medycznej nad procesami starzenia się. Medykalizacja starości i starzenia się niesie ze sobą szereg konsekwencji, które zostaną omówione w artykule. Artykuł oparty jest na badaniach własnych – analizie danych zastanych i analizie treści – oraz studiach literatury przedmiotu. Część pierwsza i druga przybliżają istotę procesów medykalizacji starości i starzenia się, pokazują jej główne wymiary i aspekty. W trzeciej części omówione są przykłady medykalizacji starości. Czwarta część poświęcona jest pokazaniu przykładowych kosztów związanych z medykalizacją starości w Polsce i na świecie, a piąta obrazuje konsekwencje traktowania starości jako choroby w wymiarze medycznym, społecznym i ekonomicznym. Postrzeganie starości jako stanu patologicznego powoduje nasiloną marginalizację osób starszych, ich piętnowanie, budowanie relacji z nimi w oparciu o stereotypy. W kontaktach z seniorami często pojawia się zjawisko ich infantylizacji. W wymiarze ekonomicznym starość, jako jednostka chorobowa, generuje nowe koszty. Dynamika relacji między medycyną a ekonomią jest niezwykle silna w przypadku tej najstarszej grupy społecznej. Osoby stare postrzegane przez pryzmat chorób stają się też łatwym celem koncernów farmaceutycznych, co pociąga za sobą kolejne konsekwencje medyczne, ekonomiczne i społeczne. Świadomość tych wielowymiarowych relacji jest niezbędna, by efektywnie planować i wdrażać rozwiązania dla osób starszych, umiejętnie bilansując ich potencjalne korzyści i straty.

Published: March 2018

Celem artykułu jest analiza wpływu korupcji na wybraną miarę przedsiębiorczości. Relacja między korupcją a przedsiębiorczością jest bezsprzeczna, lecz jej charakterystyka w literaturze (głównie zagranicznej) jest uboga. Poniższy artykuł stanowi próbę opisania najważniejszych zależności między korupcją a przedsiębiorczością i funkcjonowaniem przedsiębiorstw w warunkach skorumpowania urzędników. Badanie przeprowadzono za pomocą analizy dostępnej literatury, wykorzystano również dostępne dane do zbudowania modeli ekonometrycznych weryfikujących postawioną hipotezę badawczą o nieliniowej zależności między korupcją a przedsiębiorczością. Badanie przeprowadzono na danych zebranych dla 28 państw europejskich. Na podstawie przeprowadzonej analizy literatury i badań ekonometrycznych stwierdzono, że zależność między miernikami korupcji a przedsiębiorczością jest nieliniowa. Najlepsze wyniki uzyskano dla modelu z logarytmem wskaźnika korupcji, który cechował się lepszymi wartościami wybranych statystyk. Wartość przeprowadzonych analiz stanowi uporządkowany opis zależności między korupcją a przedsiębiorczością, który każdorazowo był oceniany. Na podstawie analizy literatury opisano charakterystykę wklęsłej relacji między korupcją a przedsiębiorczością, która wskazuje na malejące korzyści wynikające ze zwalczania korupcji dla rozwoju gospodarczego.
Diversity, Inclusion, and Storying: Connecting across Cultures to Give Meaning to Patients ‘Whole Health
Authors: Sinkfield-Morey Tammy
Published: March 2018

Transcultural nursing inspires us for humanness. The breadth of a culture is handed down through stories. Storytelling creates understanding and mutuality within a culture and between cultures. Deeper understanding can lead to better patient outcomes across variances in health, wellness, and social standing. The intentional use of storying by six nurses in a project called Story Care led to more appreciative understanding of the other's culture and raised awareness of self in interaction with another. The nurses, patients, and their families had deliberate opportunities to learn more about another who was culturally different, to understand how historical perspectives influence the dynamics of interactions, and to explore a sense of commonality and mutuality in nurse-patient engagements. As we strive for cultural intelligence, diversity, and inclusion in our organizations, transcultural nursing helps nurses connect to and be mindful of cultural ways in which we understand a patient's or population's vulnerability determination, spirit, and strengths that give meaning to their whole health.
Gray Reflections: Poetry as a Pathway to Nursing Student Empathy and the Creation of Meaning in a Long-Term-Care Clinical Practicum
Authors: Adams Sara B. , Scott Linda D.
Published: March 2018

The unique needs of the aging adult require caregivers who can completely comprehend the experience of this population. Purposefully educating nursing students to enhance development of empathy is crucial for the provision of adequate care. Innovative pedagogical strategies that produce opportunities for nursing students to reflect on patient care experiences are an opportunity for educators to guide the creation of meaning in practice for nursing students. The use of poetry reading and writing enhances the student reflective process in clinical practicum environments and may serve as a strategy to support empathic development in nursing students.
A Look At The Merchant Marine Act Of 1920: Is It Time For The U.S. To Change Course?
Authors: Cope Rachelle F. , Woosley John M. , Cope III Robert F.
Published: March 2018

Due to recent changes in global shipping, we investigate the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 – also known as the Jones Act. When constructed, our governing body decided that the Act was necessary for the country’s naval defenses and for proper growth of foreign and domestic commerce. The plan was for the fleet to be owned and operated privately by citizens of the United States. However, in today’s economic conditions some are wondering if the Jones Act is a liability to foreign commerce. In our work, we explore the advantages of naval defense and shipbuilding as well as the disadvantages on commerce and U.S. transportation infrastructure. To conclude, we offer opinions for policy changes to create a more level playing field for the U.S. to compete in global logistics.
How Marketing Factors Influence Online Browsing and Sales: Evidence From China's E-Commerce Market
Authors: Wang Zheng , Kim Yongjune
Published: March 2018

As the e-commerce market evolves from being primarily transactional to being more subtle, sellers now seek to form online strategies. Previous studies have investigated buyers’ purchasing patterns, online transaction trust, electronic word-of-mouth, online resale behavior as well as online auctions. However, less is known about the antecedents that effect store traffic and sales. By using real market data from a major Chinese C2C e-commerce site, this article investigates C2C transactional formation and identifies sellers’ performance payoffs that result from various marketing factors. Marketing factors that influence store traffic and sales will be analyzed by means of the Negative Binomial model and Tobit model. Results point out that strong store reputation and high service quality are crucial indicators for increasing number of browsers and sales amount. In accordance with the results of prior research, advertising is confirmed as an effective tool for positively influencing both store traffic and sales. In addition, we found that guarantee policies can positively impact store sales only by interacting with reputation ratings. Drawing on empirical findings, we also discuss the managerial implications for C2C sellers and put forth some recommendations.
The Effect Of Ownership Structure On Future Stock Price Crash Risk: Korean Evidence
Authors: Park Soo Yeon , Song Younghyo
Published: March 2018

This paper examines the effect of ownership structure on firm-specific stock price crash risk using listed firm (KOSPI) data in Korea. Prior literatures suggest that corporate governance has an impact on the level of disclosure and the quality. Managers may stockpile negative information about the company, but when such accumulated bad news crosses a threshold, the negative information suddenly becomes publicly available and a stock price crash is observed (Hutton, Marcus, & Tehranian 2009). Prior studies have documented the determinants of future stock price crash risk (Jin & Myer 2006; Hutton et al. 2009; Kim, Li, & Zhang 2011; Hamm, Li, & Ng 2013; Xu, Jiang, Chan, & Yi 2013; Jo, Moon, & Choi 2015; Kim & Zhang 2016). However, it is hard to find the papers about corporate ownership and future stock price crash risk at the term of determinants of the risk. Compare to some financially advanced countries where ownership and management are effectively separated, there is no clear distinction between ownership and management in Korea. Using the percentage of managerial ownership and that of foreign ownership as proxies for ownership structure and measures for future stock price crash risk which was used by Callen and Fang (2013, 2015) and Kim and Zhang (2016), we conducted an empirical analysis examining the link between corporate ownership structure and companies’ subsequent stock price crash risk.

We collect 4,294 firm-year observations listed on Korean market from 2002 to 2015, and we use the measures of firm-specific stock price crash risk based on Callen and Fang (2013, 2015) to examine the relation between corporate ownership structure and subsequent stock price crash risk.

From the empirical tests, the percentage of managerial ownership is negatively associated with future stock price crash risk. It implies that managerial ownership increases to align the interests of shareholders and managers, it could alleviate the agency problem between them (Jensen & Meckling 1976), helping to resolve information asymmetry and prevent bad news from being withheld, ultimately lowering future stock price crash risk. In addition, we find that higher foreign ownership significantly weakens the negative relation between the percentage of managerial ownership and future stock price crash risk. We interpret this results that the negative side of foreign ownership failed to effectively reduce agency costs, weakening the negative correlation between managerial ownership and future stock price crash risk.

Our study may shed some light on the understanding of the ownership structure as a determinant of future stock price crash risk to firms and investors who want to handle crash risk in the stock market.

The Consequences of Corruption on Economic Growth in Mediterranean Countries: Evidence from Panel Data Analysis
Authors: Boussalham Hicham
Published: March 2018

This study attempts to assess the impact of corruption on economic growth in the Mediterranean countries, during the period from 1998 to 2007. Econometric analysis using panel regression has been adopted to test this effect. Individual effects models such as random effects model and fixed effects model were applied to the study sample of 160 observations, and to choose the suitable model, we implemented several tests. For our analysis, we used a basic model that includes the dependent variable GDP per capita as a factor of economic growth and the corruption perception index as the independent variable concerned. Then we completed the model with several standardized macroeconomic control variables mentioned above and applied the individual effects models. The outcomes illustrate that corruption has a negative impact on the selected Mediterranean countries’ economic growth.
Improving Dormancy and Germination of Piquín Chili Pepper (Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum) by Priming Techniques
Authors: Quintero Castellanos Maria Fernanda , Castillo Oscar Guillen , Sánchez Pablo Delgado , Sánchez José Marín , Carrasco Ana Isabel Guzmán , Guzmán José Miguel
Published: March 2018

The effects of different priming techniques were evaluated to improve the dormancy and germination of wild seeds of “Piquín” chili pepper. Three experiments were designed for pre-sowing treatment of seeds: a) chemical seeds digestion; b) halopriming (with K+ or NH4+ of NO3-, SO42- or Cl-) at different priming times (24, 48 or 72 h) and osmotic potential (-5, -10 or -15 atm) and c) previously selected halopriming (KNO3 and NH4NO3) + Gibberellic acid (GA3, at 100 or 200 ppm) were tested. Digestion treatments did show a negative effect on seed germination. Recommended values of osmotic potential (Ψs), to improve Piquín chili seed germination, must be between -10 and -15 atm (-1.0 and -1.5 MPa) and the priming time must be between 48 and 72 hours. Priming techniques can considerably reduce Capsaicinoids content on seeds, improve dormancy, seed germination performance, and increase the rate and uniformity of seedling establishment. KNO3 and secondly GA3 treatments may improve rapid and uniform germination and seedling emergence. The results provide basic information to develop guidelines for commercial establishment of Piquín pepper crops.
Influence of Steel Plate Roughness on the Frictional Properties of Cereal Kernels
Authors: Kaliniewicz Zdzisław , Żuk Zbigniew , Krzysiak Zbigniew
Published: March 2018

The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the external friction angle of cereal kernels and the roughness of a steel friction plate. The experiment was performed on the kernels of five principal cereals: wheat, rye, barley, oats and triticale. Flat seed units composed of three spaced kernels joined by adhesive tape were analyzed in each experimental variant. The external friction angle of flat seed units was determined on 9 steel friction plates with different roughness. Measurements were performed in 3 replications with a photosensor device which registered the external friction angle of cereal kernels. On friction plates with surface roughness Ra=0.36 to Ra=6.72, the average values of the angle of external friction ranged from 17.56° in rye kernels to 34.01° in oat kernels. The greatest similarities in the angle of external friction were observed between wheat and triticale kernels, whereas the greatest differences were noted between barley and oat kernels and between barley and triticale kernels. Friction plates made of ST3S steel should be characterized by the lowest surface roughness to minimize energy consumption during grain processing. The optimal surface roughness of steel friction plates was determined at Ra=0.9.

Published: March 2018

This paper investigates the effects of geometrical features of tailored textures on friction reduction of a surface with a lubricant-film thickness of several to several-tenths micrometers, using the Navier-Stokes equations and the orthogonal experimental design. The results indicate that the surface textured with the selected sawtooth riblets in lubricant can have up to 93.83% less friction than an untextured surface. The thickness of the lubricant film plays the most important role in friction reduction; the height and the ridge angle of the riblets are the secondary factors. The results and principles obtained can potentially be used in the designing of low-friction surfaces in precision machines with transmission parts.

Published: March 2018

This study investigated the process evaluation of robot development projects. We propose a quantitative method to evaluate whether the projects advanced to the social experiment phase and analyze their causes of failure. With the proposal analysis method, proposals for future similar developments were submitted across six development projects by staff members in accordance with their actual experience. By analyzing the amounts of proposals classified into phases, categories, and factors, the issues that occurred during each process could be identified. These issues consisted of delays, unclear specifications, and confusion with regard to the organizational structure. The proposed method was suitable for robot development projects with very short time spans such as support robots for disaster victims and guide robots for guests of the Olympic Games.

This research was conducted to select, to identify LAB isolates and to investigate the effects of the LAB as probiotics candidate in the rumen fermentation. Nine isolates exhibited the potency as candidate probiotics for cattle. The experiment was arranged in randomized block design with ten treatments and three different times of in vitro as a block. The substrate consisted of 70% forage and 30% concentrate proportion. The substrate was incubated at 39oC using serum bottle of 100 ml capacity for fermentation. Approximately 0.75 g of substrates was put inside the serum bottle glass and filled with 73 ml of buffered rumen fluid and 2 ml of LAB inoculant. Gas production was measured every 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h of the incubation period. Gas production kinetic was estimated by the Ørskov’s equation. The LAB with the highest gas production, as probiotics candidate, were identified using partial 16S rDNA sequence. The results of this research indicated that nine LAB produced high gas production in the range of 193-198 ml compare to that of control (173 ml). The addition of LAB in rumen fermentation resulted in digestibility 65-75%, organic matter digestibility 51-73%, and 6.67-6.68 pH. Based on the molecular identification, 8 isolates are Lactobacillus plantarum and 1 of uncultured bacteria. The LAB strain 32 L. plantarum showed the best for a ruminant probiotic candidate based on the in vitro rumen fermentation characteristic.

Authors: Hartati Sri Yuni , Sukamto NFN , Karyani Nuri , Zulhisnain NFN
Published: March 2018

Budok is one of the most important patchouli diseases caused by Synchytrium pogostemonis, spread out through seeds, soil, and water. A research to develop botanical pesticides based on essential oils was conducted at Indonesian Spices and Medicinal Crop Research Institute  in 2014. The research was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of single formula of clove, eucalyptus, neem, and citronella oil against budok disease. Research was conducted in disease endemic area in Cimanggu Research Installation, Bogor. Single formula of clove, eucalyptus, neem, and citronella oils were tested their efficacy against budok disease. Two synthetic fungicides of benomyl and bourdeaux mixture were used as comparison, and water as control. One month-old healthy patchouli plants were sprayed with each essential oil (5ml.l-1), benomyl (3 g.l-1), and bourdeaux mixture (1%) every two weeks for 5 times respectively. Experiment was arranged in  randomized completely block design (7 treatments, 3 replication, and 20 plants/replication). Neem oil was the most effective formula in suppressing budok disease  incidence  (58.30%)  compared to citronella (33.30%), clove (26.65%), and eucalyptus (8.30%), although it was still lower than benomyl (100%) and bourdeaux mixture (100%). Application of neem oil, benomyl, and bourdeoux mixture could inhibit S. pogostemonis infection and budok disease development. However, the application of clove and citronella oils only capable of inhibiting budok disease development. Those tested essential oils are potential to be developed as botanical pesticides to control budok disease of patchouli. However, their efficacy should be increased by producing formula mixtures of those essential oils.

Published: March 2018

Botanical pesticide is one of the alternatives to control pest and relatively safe for the environment. Cinnamon oil and citronella oil commonly used as botanical pesticide to control leaf roller Pachyzancla stultalis attack on patchouli, hence maintaining patchouli productivity. This study aimed to find the best botanical insecticide formula made of cinnamon oil and citronella oil to control leaf roller attack without decreasing the quality of patchouli oil. Research was conducted in patchouli farmer's plantation in Solok Regency, Kenagarian Gantung Ciri from January to October 2013. The research was arranged in  Randomized Block Design with four treatments (Pesnab KM 40, Pesnab SW 50, synthetic insecticide deltamethrin 25 EC and without pesticide as control) repeated six times. Botanical pesticide, Pesnab KM 40 and SW 50, were formulated using 40 % cinnamon oil  (KM 40) and 50 % citronella oil (SW 50). The plant tested was one month old Sidikalang variety in polybags. The KM 40 botanical pesticide formula was more effective  to  control P. stultalis larvae pest than control and SW 50 botanical pesticide, and as effective as synthetic pesticide. The herb yield, oil yield, oil content and patchouli alcohol (PA) content of KM 40 treatment were not significantly different compared to synthetic pesticide, but higher than control. Patchouli oil components such as alpha pinene, beta pinene, limonene, copaene, karyophylen, guanen, allo-aromadrene and gurjunen, was not significantly different among treatments. Botanical pesticides made from cinnamon oil can be used as alternative to control P. stultalis larvae attack in patchouli.
 
Health-Related Quality of Life in University Dance Students
Authors: White Hayley M , Hoch Johanna M , Hoch Matthew C
Published: March 2018

Injuries are common among dancers and may negatively affect health-related quality of life (HRQL). The modified Disablement in the Physically Active Scale (mDPA) is a generic patient-reported outcome instrument that could be used when providing care to patients participating in performing
arts. The objective of this pilot study was to examine the internal consistency of the mDPA and assess overall HRQL using the mDPA in university dance students. Thirty-one female university dance students completed the mDPA during one data collection session. Higher scores on the Physical
Summary Component (mDPA-PSC), the Mental Summary Component (mDPAMSC), and mDPA-Total indicated increased disablement. The internal consistency was determined using Cronbachs alpha. The mDPA-Total, mDPA-PSC, and mDPAMSC scores were examined descriptively using mean and standard deviations.
Individual item responses were also examined. The proportion of university dance students with clinically relevant levels of disablement on the mDPA-Total was examined using a previously established minimally clinically important difference value. The internal consistency for the mDPA-MSC
(a=0.91) and mDPATotal (a=0.90) was excellent and good for the mDPA-PSC (a=0.88). A large proportion (71%) of university dance students demonstrated clinically relevant levels of disablement despite fully participating in dance-related activities. Pain, impaired motion, and stress were the
greatest contributors to increased disablement in these individuals. The mDPA scores observed in this pilot study indicate that many dance students experience levels of disablement and decreased HRQL which may warrant physical and mental intervention. Clinicians providing healthcare services
to performing artists should consider using the mDPA to provide patient-centered care.
Musculoskeletal Assessments Used in Quantitatively Based Studies About Posture and Movement in High String Players: A Systematic Review
Authors: Schemmann Heike , Rensing Nadine , Zalpour Christoff
Published: March 2018

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to identify and systematically categorize musculoskeletal assessments used in quantitatively based studies about posture and movement in musicians playing high string instruments (violin, viola) in order to inform further research and help to identify
gaps in knowledge. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted in the databases Cochrane, CINAHL, and PubMed as well as the journal Medical Problems of Performing Artists. Additional studies were searched within the reference lists of relevant articles. Sixty-four studies conducted
since 1999 until May 2017 were included according to predefined inclusion criteria. RESULTS: Various biomechanical measurement instruments were used in 24 of the selected studies in order to collect two- and three-dimensional kinematic data: optoelectronic systems with active and passive markers,
electromagnetic systems, ultrasonic motion analysis systems, and image-based analysis of posture. In 11 studies, kinetics were measured by optoelectronic systems, force sensors, and a posturographic device. Further studies used electromyography to evaluate muscle activity (19 studies) as well
as instruments to measure range of motion (2 studies). Additionally, a broad range of clinical examination techniques (35 studies) and self-reports (36 studies) were used to assess the musculoskeletal system of high string players. CONCLUSION: The identified assessments could be used both
in further research and in practical work in order to evaluate posture and movement in high string players. For future research, qualitatively based studies as well as psychometrically tested quantitatively based self-report assessments are required.

Cotton Varietal Responses to Tillage Type in the Upper Southeastern U.S. Coastal Plain
Authors: Longest Robert , Frame William , Abaye Ozzie , Hodges Steven
Published: March 2018

Core Ideas

Evaluation of cotton varieties across tillage systems in the upper Southeast coastal plain.

Cotton variety selection had a greater impact on development and yield than tillage system.

No‐till systems produced slightly lower yields then other conservation tillage systems.

No‐till resulted in greater soil compaction than other tillage systems.

Current reduced tillage systems produced the highest lint yield during the study.

Current understanding of the effects of tillage systems on cotton growth and development of contemporary varieties is limited for producers of the Upper Southeast Coastal Plain of the United States. Tillage studies were conducted in Suffolk, VA, from 2013 to 2016 evaluating conventional, minimal, no‐tillage, and strip‐tillage systems on early season growth, soil compaction, and lint yield of four contemporary varieties using a split‐plot design. Soil compaction was greatest in the no‐till system with yearly depths to a root restrictive layer ranging from 8–26 cm. No‐till resulted in shorter plant heights compared to other tillage methods in 2 out of 4 yr. Relative yield for no‐till was 0.78, an 8% reduction compared to the other tillage systems. Deltapine 1321 B2RF was consistently taller than other varieties in all years; with significant varietal differences being present during all sampling intervals each year except 2013. Fibermax 1944 GLB2 was shorter than other varieties. In‐season plant development was affected more by variety than tillage. Lint yield differed among varieties in 2013, 2014, and 2016. Deltapine 1321 B2RF produced the highest lint yields of 1746 kg ha−1, 1467 kg ha−1, and 693 kg ha−1 in 2013, 2014, and 2015, respectively. Differences in lint quality parameters were influenced more by variety than tillage system. In the short term there was no significant growth or yield penalty associated with no‐till cotton production as compared to other tillage systems. Variety selection and environment were the most important factors contributing to cotton yield during this four year study.
Mental Models of Soil Management for Food Security in Peri‐Urban India
Authors: Friedrichsen Claire N. , Daroub Samira H. , Monroe Martha C. , Stepp John R. , Wani Suhas P.
Published: March 2018

Agricultural development during the Green Revolution brought India food sovereignty but food insecurity persists. Increased crop production was promoted without considering the more holistic impact on food security. Scientists, extension agents, and farmers have different perspectives on how soil health relates to food security. Understanding stakeholders’ perspectives is essential to improving extension communication and mitigating consequences. This study uses qualitative interviews to construct mental models of soil health for food security. The study site is a peri‐urban watershed, which is currently participating in the Integrated Farmer Participatory Watershed Management Model (IFPWM). Our study details and defines stakeholders’ mental models of soil health, soil nutrient management, soil sodicity, and food security. A triad belief held by farmers shows the strongly perceived causal relationship between soil health, plant health, and human health. Healthy soil produces healthy food and humans that eat such food will be healthy. Scientists only perceive one condition to achieving food security in the community—food quantity. However, all other stakeholders perceived another risk to food security—food quality. Eating poor quality food is perceived as linked to human health problems in the community. This research suggests the importance of including a fifth dimension of food security, cultural acceptability, within agricultural technology development and dissemination.

Sobre la escuela de París: una nota sobre Jean Pierre Vernant y Marcel Detienne
Authors: Cadavid Ramírez Lina Marcela
Published: March 2018

En Mito y sociedad en la Grecia antigua, Jean Pierre Vernant dedica la últimaparte de su libro a presentar extensamente las escuelas que han abordado elestudio del mito griego desde el siglo XIX. Antes que ser una exposición de loque podríamos llamar, no sin cierta resistencia, su propio método, el autor haceun esbozo del surgimiento de una ciencia de los mitos y su cambio radical en elsiglo XX gracias a la introducción del análisis estructural que el propio Vernantseguirá a través de Georges Dumezil y Claude-Lévi Strauss.
Constitución de la conducta moral en la filosofía de Hannah Arendt: el testigo en el pensamiento y en el mundo de las apariencias
Authors: Sanabria Cucalón María Camila
Published: March 2018

El presente texto se propone resaltar la figura del testigo en la conducta moral,partiendo del presupuesto de que dicha conducta se constituye tanto en elpensar como en el actuar. Para ello se comenza mostrando la participación delas facultades de la memoria y la imaginación en la concepción arendtiana de“conciencia moral”, teniendo en cuenta sus distintas facetas. Más adelante, seofrece una descripción del actuar de dicha conciencia tanto en el pensamientocomo en el mundo de las apariencias, haciendo énfasis en la faceta del testigo.Puesto que la conducta moral implica un determinado comportamiento en elmundo de las apariencias, se abordará la facultad de la voluntad como condiciónde dicha conducta. Finalmente, se argumentará que la influencia de la concienciaen la voluntad está condicionada por la presencia del testigo.

José de Nazaret, un creyente ensombrecido
Authors: Echeverri Alberto
Published: March 2018

La exhortación de Francisco sobre la familia retoma en algunos pasajes la figura deJosé de Nazaret, el llamado padre putativo o nutricio de Jesús. Su consideraciónpor parte de la iglesia católica romana fue, durante mil quinientos años, exigua. Ladoctrina y la devoción popular en torno a él en los siglos ulteriores han cooperadoa dejarlo casi en la penumbra. La encuesta a los escasos documentos oficialesque lo tienen en cuenta y a las deformaciones piadosas de su culto propone unreplanteamiento del significado de san José y de la “sagrada familia” para la fe delcreyente cristiano. El ensayo procede partiendo de los símbolos ofrecidos por laprimera alianza, la establecida entre Yahvé y su pueblo, procurando encontrar elpleno sentido de los mismos en la segunda, iniciada por Jesús como revelador deun misterio que parecía envuelto en la sombra.
Los ecos de la revolución francesa en el pensamiento poético de Friedrich Hölderlin
Authors: Gutiérrez Cadavid Jhoana Andrea
Published: March 2018

Los acontecimientos de la vida de J. C. Friedrich Hölderlin y su producciónintelectual y poética están estrechamente relacionados e interconectados;podríamos decir que toda su producción es reflejo del momento histórico enel que vivió y los sucesos personales que le acaecieron. La Revolución francesainfluyó en su pensamiento político, intelectual y poético. Los primeros años estánllenos de optimismo, sin embargo, el desencadenamiento de los hechos hizoque el poeta se refugiara en su espíritu, en su silencio y su palabra poética paradesvincularse de un modo radical de la realidad de su tiempo y tejer desde supoesía la construcción del camino hacia la Hesperia. De esta manera, el objetivoprincipal de este texto será identificar de qué manera influyó el pensamiento y loshechos de la Revolución francesa en la vida y obra de Friedrich Hölderlin, a travésde un análisis conceptual y hermenéutico de algunas de sus correspondenciaspersonales de este periodo y de obras poéticas para determinar en qué aspectostiene afinidad y en cuáles se aleja de este acontecimiento.
Sexualidad, afectividad y corporeidad: ícono en la relación trinitaria
Authors: Tobón Monsalve Jonathan Stiven
Published: March 2018

La Constitución pastoral Gaudium et spes es la lupa por la que se intentarávisualizar el entramado trinitario en el conjunto de relaciones que conformanla naturaleza humana: sexualidad, afectividad y corporeidad; ya que a la base desu cuerpo teórico se halla el principio antropológico de la teología: el hombreha sido creado a imagen y semejanza de Dios Trinidad (Gn 1,26). Por tanto, elhombre es trinidad por participación. La pregunta que subyace es ¿de quémanera comprender a la persona humana como un ser trinitario? Para esto esindispensable adentrarse en el misterio de la Trinidad con el fin de esclarecer elmisterio del hombre (GS. 22).

Intellectual Capital (IC) Determinants: Impact on Productivity of Islamic Banks
Authors: Ab. Aziz Muhammad Ridhwan , Meor Hashim Ahmad Azwan
Published: March 2018

This research aimed to investigate the relationship between the Intellectual Capital (IC) efficiency empirically. It consisted of human capital, structural capital, capital employed, and relational capital with the impact on the productivity of Islamic banks in Malaysia. The Pulic’s Value-Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) method with the extended and modified version introduced by former scholars was used to measure IC, whereas bank productivity was measured through Assets Turnover Ratio (ATO). Three internal factors that might have determinants effect on VAIC, namely bank size, bank risks, and leverage were further tested to find their relationship. Structural stability tests and dynamic regression models for panel data were also used for the data of 16 Islamic banks in Malaysia from 2009 to 2016. The panel-corrected standard errors estimation technique was used to estimate a panel regression model with bank productivity and VAIC as the dependent variables. The regression analysis suggests that Malaysian Islamic banks are depending heavily on the capital employed component of intellectual capital, followed by human capital, structural capital, and relational capital. The results also suggest that bank’s risks and leverage play a major role in determining intellectual capital. The findings may serve as a useful input for Islamic bankers to indicate whether the contribution of intellectual capital and its components needs further improvement which it has produced the best results, and internal factor might affect IC.
