Abstract. The Raman Lidar for Meteorological Observations (RALMO) is operated at the MeteoSwiss station of Payerne (Switzerland) and provides, amongst other products, continuous measurements of temperature since 2010. The temperature profiles are retrieved from the pure rotational Raman (PRR) signals detected around the 355 nm Cabannes line. The transmitter and receiver systems of RALMO are described in detail, and the reception and acquisition units of the PRR channels are thoroughly characterized. The FastCom P7888 card used to acquire the PRR signal, the calculation of the dead time and the desaturation procedure are also presented. The temperature profiles retrieved from RALMO PRR data during the period going from July 2017 to the end of December 2018 have been validated against two reference operational radiosounding systems (ORSs) co-located with RALMO, i.e. the Meteolabor SRS-C50 and the Vaisala RS41. The ORSs have also served to perform the calibration of the RALMO temperature during the validation period. The maximum bias (ΔTmax), mean bias (μ) and mean standard deviation (σ) of RALMO temperature Tral with respect to the reference ORS, Tors, are used to characterize the accuracy and precision of Tral along the troposphere. The daytime statistics provide information essentially about the lower troposphere due to lower signal-to-noise ratio. The ΔTmax, μ and σ of the differences ΔT=Tral-Tors are, respectively, 0.28, 0.02±0.1 and 0.62±0.03 K. The nighttime statistics provide information for the entire troposphere and yield ΔTmax=0.29 K, μ=0.05±0.34 K and σ=0.66±0.06 K. The small ΔTmax, μ and σ values obtained for both daytime and nighttime comparisons indicate the high stability of RALMO that has been calibrated only seven times over 18 months. The retrieval method can correct for the largest sources of correlated and uncorrelated errors, e.g. signal noise, dead time of the acquisition system and solar background. Especially the solar radiation (scattered into the field of view from the zenith angle Φ) affects the quality of PRR signals and represents a source of systematic error for the retrieved temperature. An imperfect subtraction of the background from the daytime PRR profiles induces a bias of up to 2 K at all heights. An empirical correction f(Φ) ranging from 0.99 to 1 has therefore been applied to the mean background of the PRR signals to remove the bias. The correction function f(Φ) has been validated against the numerical weather prediction model COSMO (Consortium for Small-scale Modelling), suggesting that f(Φ) does not introduce any additional source of systematic or random error to Tral. A seasonality study has been performed to help with understanding if the overall daytime and nighttime zero bias hides seasonal non-zero biases that cancel out when combined in the full dataset.
The era of infiltration
Authors: Beven Keith 
Published: February 2021

Abstract. Inspired by a quotation from Howard Cook in 1946, this paper traces the evolution of the infiltration theory of runoff from the work of Robert Horton and LeRoy Sherman in the 1930s to the early digital computer models of the 1970s and 1980s. The reasons for the popularity of the infiltration theory are considered and its impact on the way in which hydrological responses were perceived by several generations of hydrologists. Reconsideration of the perceptual model for many catchments,
partly as a result of the greater appreciation of the contribution of
subsurface flows to the hydrograph indicated by tracer studies, suggests a more precise utilisation of hydrological terms and, in particular, that the
use of runoff and surface runoff should be avoided.

Información participativa ciudadana a través de WhatsApp
Authors: Sierra Gutiérrez Luis Ignacio 
Published: February 2021

Esta investigación identifica y analiza manifestaciones de información ciudadana participativa, a través de WhatsApp. Un estudio exploratorio, realizado sobre una muestra aleatoria, no representativa, de tres medios alternativos de comunidades urbanas seleccionadas: Eje Central y Emisora La Buena 95.4 FM en las comunas tres y cuatro del municipio de Bello, Valle de Aburrá, y Mi Comuna Dos, en la comuna dos de la ciudad de Medellín (Colombia). La técnica de investigación cualitativa en las comunidades seleccionadas, se realizó mediante observación no participativa, una encuesta semiestructurada a población aleatoria y entrevista estructurada con líderes de los medios seleccionados. El trabajo de campo se realizó entre octubre de 2018 y junio de 2019. Los resultados revelan el uso incipiente que la ciudadanía de los sectores escogidos hace de WhatsApp, entre otras plataformas digitales, para divulgar sus procesos informativos. Los resultados, a partir de los casos analizados, evidencian el crecimiento progresivo de una nueva práctica de información participativa, mediante el paradigma digital informativo. No obstante, se detecta en dichas comunidades la falta de una estrategia planificada con fines netamente informativos de manejo de plataformas digitales, como WhatsApp y otras. Se invita, finalmente, a apoyar nuevas manifestaciones de activismo mediático participativo, desde las voces ciudadanas a reivindicar el derecho a su visibilidad y protagonismo, a partir de su propia cotidianidad.
“As I Twirl This Spindle, …”: Ritualization and the Magical Efficacy of Household Tasks in Western Antiquity
Authors: Frankfurter David 
Published: February 2021

AbstractIn Mediterranean antiquity the ritual acts of binding and charming were often associated with ordinary domestic tasks reoriented through accompanying incantations and sometimes the adjustment of the task's gestures. Drawing on theories of ritualization (Bell, Humphrey, and Laidlaw) and extending the classical evidence with medieval and modern comparative materials, this article addresses how mundane economic practices are brought into service for magical performance. Ritualization highlights the process by which a domestic “agent” can isolate and transform some particular element or stage in an overall activity (clothes-making, cooking) to reflect a sense of stipulation, of traditional and efficacious action, and thus reorient the isolated domestic task for curse or binding charms.

Authors: Da Silva Jorge Ferreira , Formosinho Walter Pereira , Carneiro Jorge Manoel Teixeira , Ferreira Jorge Brantes 
Published: February 2021

This study investigates whether oil multinational oil companies (MNCs) have adopted distinct strategic positioning and whether strategic positioning and firm performance are related. Cluster analysis of 50 firms identified 10 strategic types. Although no statistically significant differences were found in expected future performance on an annual basis, there were statistically significant differences in past performance between strategic types in five out of the eight years (2000 – 2007) of the study. Also, averaged over the entire period, some strategic types presented higher expected future performance and some achieved higher past performance. Moreover, stability in strategic positioning – that is, keeping the same strategic positioning for a longer period of time – was also associated with better performance. DOI:10.5585/riae.v12i4.2000
An analytical framework for miles and snow typology and dynamic capabilities
Authors: Martins Tomas Sparano , Kato Heitor Takashi , Martins Roberta Da Rocha Rosa , Da Silva Eduardo Damião 
Published: February 2021

The literature on dynamic capabilities is confusing, full of overlapping definitions, and contradictions. The theoretical and practical importance of developing and applying dynamic capabilities to sustain competitive advantage in complex external environment is central in studies about strategy nowadays. In this paper, we offer a definition of dynamic capabilities under two aspects: first, it refers to the shifting character of the environment; second, it emphasizes the key role of strategic management in appropriately adapting, integrating, and re-configuring internal and external organizational skills, resources, and functional competences towards a changing environment. This paper aims to clarify the concept of dynamic capabilities, propose an analytical framework that connects this “new” concept to a well known and recognized generic strategic model (Miles and Snow, 1978) and to the concept of sustainable competitive advantage and evolutionary fit.

Authors: Banzato Carlos Roberto , Volpp Sierra Julio Cesar 
Published: February 2021

Strategic Leadership: Theory and Research on Executives, Top Management Teams, and Boards by Finkelstein, Hambrick and Canella Jr. (2009) is one of the most important references in strategy studies. This work is a critical review of this book and attempts to answer why organizations do what they do or play the way they play. In this paper, we review all eleven chapters that make up the book. We then suggest the implications of this theory on strategy and organizations. We also consider how this book affects the development of the field of study. The book offers considerable foundations for executives and serves as a reference for researchers who wish to understand the phenomenon related to strategic leadership, considering the CEO, Board and Top Management Team. The major contribution of this paper is that it summarizes the theory and concepts of the book in a few pages and identifies the main characteristics, antecedents and consequences of leadership in organizations.
The misleading route of the last Brazilian tax system reforms
Authors: Marquezini Simone Vilela 
Published: February 2021

This article is intended to analyze how the Brazilian tax system reached its present form by remarking the effects of the tax nature over both the economic efficiency and the social equity. Theoretically, systems which inflict at higher rates over the production are used to burdening the consumers in an indistinct way. On the order hand, if income and propriety are charged over, it can result in less efficiency of the productive resource position. Indeed, this article is aimed to clear up Brazil’s landscape, in which added-value taxes and several social contributions prevail, as a way for income collection. Brazilian society is evaluating some proposals for reforming its tax system, the outlook for real changes with the productive chain deburdening, the “ fiscal war”, and the high level of concealment together with a tributary planning.

This essay focus on the reinsertion of the aging worker, specialized worker, connected to the productive sector of micro, small and middle companies, satisfactorily and deservingly, in a cluster or in a Local Productive Arrangement (LPA), defined for this study as community. Aging people is considered, in this work, as a multiplier of knowledge, bringing as consequence the valuation and the perpetuation of the local culture, by means of the permanence of the new generations on their communities, resulting on a sustainable development. The study of this ques-tion is justified by the necessity of a greater com-mitment and effort from each society sector on creation of a new paradigm to the work, which includes the aging people reinsertion together the young workers insertion. An effort which will preserve the competitiveness market benefits with clear rules and borders, keeping the human development and the equity as main objectives, which enlarges the child and the young formation focused on the market job, creating conditions of work to aging people, that are abandoned in many aspects of their social life, specially by the family, and that in its great majority are destitute of financial resources to live with dignity.

The need to develop new surviving strategies and competitive advantage by individuals and organizations make cooperation to obtain complementary competences and potentialities very important, through the insertion of social actors in multiple networks of relationships and interactions. This research was made in an Association Network of Carrinheiros[1] located in Curitiba and in the coast of Paraná. The objective of the study was to analyze the structural characteristics of the network and its implications to develop collective actions. The data was collected through questionnaires, interviews, document analysis, and the daily direct observation of the network. An interaction system between individuals and organizations from various sectors in society could be verified. This interaction stimulates the structured work connected to associations and cooperatives. Between the actors of the network, concepts and realities are different, as well as individual objectives are distinct. However, they converge to a common general objective that establish a common base for collaborative work.

An emotional relationship between business and consumers can create positive aspects. However, complexity of emotional processes can become a challenge concerning the long-term growth of companies pursuing to implement such a strategy. Therefore, this study aspires to evidence possible fragilities of organizational strategies, which create value through emotional aspects. Consequently, we conducted a case study of the Canadian company Cirque du Soleil, with data collection consisting of: an interview with the firm’s head publicist; in addition to interviews undertaken by secondary data; three months spent amongst one of the company’s shows; and by secondary data from both the electronic and press media. Data analysis and interpretation were established by using the content analysis technique. It was acknowledged that despite the rapid growth and success of the company, there are still certain challenges relating to the continued growth associated with the consolidation of emotional relationships.
Husserl and Schutz on Cultural Objects
Authors: Yu Chung-chi 
Published: February 2021

Lester Embree is very concerned with the issue of culture in his philosophical thinking. Besides his preoccupation with the cultural disciplines, he explores the notions of culture in Schutz and Gurwitsch. He even brings up the term “phenomenology of culture.” With inspirations from Embree, the present paper intends to explore culture as a phenomenological theme. Starting with elaboration on the concept of cultural object in both Husserl and Schutz, the paper focuses on the question of cultural difference and universalism. I contend that despite apparent differences between Schutz and Husserl, there is close positioning between them. In the final part of my paper, I make a deeper reflection on the problem of cultural difference.Lester Embree está muy preocupado con el tema de la cultura en su pensamiento filosófico. Además de su preocupación por las disciplinas culturales, explora las nociones de cultura en Schutz y Gurwitsch. Incluso menciona el término "fenomenología de la cultura". Con inspiraciones de Embree, el presente documento pretende explorar la cultura como un tema fenomenológico. Comenzando con la elaboración del concepto de objeto cultural tanto en Husserl como en Schutz, el artículo se centra en la cues-tión de la diferencia cultural y el universalismo. Sostengo que a pesar de las aparentes diferencias entre Schutz y Husserl, existe un posicionamiento cercano entre ellos. En la parte final de mi trabajo, hago una reflexión más profunda sobre el problema de la diferencia cultural.
