Pia Haudrup Christensen:
Children’s perception of time spent with the family

This paper examines time spent with the family from children’s point of view. Since the 1960s notions of “quality time“ versus “quantity time“ have been employed to capture the everyday reality of working parents and their children. Some researchers have argued that parents should spend “more time“ together with their children and less time working, while others have suggested that it is important to examine how parents and children spend their time together. These discussions of what is “good“ for today’s children tend to neglect children’s perspectives. This paper draws on extensive ethnographic studies among 10-11 year old children about their understandings and use of time in an urban and a rural area of the North of England and in a district of Copenhagen, Denmark. The paper argues that the quality/quantity conundrum needs to be replaced by fuller and more representative accounts that include dimensions of family time that matter for children. The paper examines the six qualities of time that children value: “ordinary everyday family routines“, the notion of “hygge“ or coziness in Danish, “someone being there for you“, to “have one’s own time“, time for “peace and quiet“, and to be able “to plan own time“. It argues that children’s view of time spent with their families cannot be seen in isolation from the time they spend with friends, time at school and on their own. It concludes that children’s time needs to be situated in the everyday processes of balancing family, school and work life which both children and parents engage in.
Politiske identiteter i senmoderniteten: Belyst gennem unge kvinders fortællinger om politik og identitet

Ann-Dorte Christensen: Political Identities in Late Modernity: young women’s stories about politics and identity

The first part of this article examines various approaches to political identities that have been inspired by sociological discussions of identity construction as well as by discussions within political sociology about new forms of politics and power in late modernity. In the second part of the article, political identities among young women are analyzed. The results indicate that the processes of individualization and the constructions of life politics have a variety of meanings and different implications for the women. This means that it is crucial to construct more sensitive theories about gender and political identities in contemporary societies. These new theories must take into account political learning in individual life courses as well as feelings of belonging and participation in multiple
political communities in relation to both political institutions and organizations in civil society. The final section of the article discusses the contents of the political identities attempting to renew the theoretical understanding of political identities in late modernity and the potential for renewal of politics and political institutions in a gender perspective.
Filantropiens genkomst: Medborgerskab, fællesskab og frihed under ombrydning

Kaspar Villadsen: The reappearance of philanthropy: the break up of citizenship, community and freedom ?

That article argues that philanthropic principles for social work have achieved growing prominence in social policy and social work during the last 10-15 years. As a result of this process, new ways of categorising and governing social clients have begun to prevail at the expense of currently existing ones. Therefore, we need to ask what kind of regime is now being introduced in social work. Among the crucial questions are which forms of observation, discourse and power are now made possible, and which are consequently made impossible, how can knowledge be produced about social clients, and how can we turn them into objects of government. Other important issues are what is being displaced or transformed in the existing social work regime, can one no longer speak of obobjective human needs, societal conditions or social problems as structural effects, and, even more important, what kind of subject is now to be fostered in the social
client. The article analyses these issues and concludes that the re-activation of concepts and techniques invented by
19th century philanthropy puts existing forms of knowledge and government in social work in jeopardy. It also raises questions about general transformations of the welfare state and its concepts of citizenship, community and freedom.

Trust in food: Food consumption practice

Food consumption has become part of the political agenda in Denmark, in that responsibilities for environmental and similar concerns are increasingly being transferred to ordinary consumers. This article discusses how this new political agenda has influenced the every day understandings and practices as regards food consumption. It commences with a discussion of the concept of trust and its relevance to risk and handling risk in the arena of food consumption. Data come from a telephone survey carried out among a representative sample of adults in Denmark. On the one hand, Danish respondents expressed a general trust, and felt that the foods they eat are not harmful. On the other, they distrusted the safety of a list of specific but ordinary foods found on the market. In order to minimize risks, respondents employed differentiated shopping strategies, reflecting the structure of the food market. A majority of them replied that their shopping practices are influenced by concerns about health and environment, while only 8% report no concern at all about these issues. Danish consumers trusted personal networks more than either public food control systems or market mechanisms in order to procure good and safe food.
Vi hilser da på hinanden...: Social kapital i en dansk udkantskommune

Gunnar Lind Haase Svendsen:
“But at least we greet each other“. Social capital in an outlying Danish municipality

In recent years, many people living on social transfer incomes have moved to more outlying municipalities in Denmark. This includes Ravnsborg, a municipality situated in an outlying rural area in the northwest corner of the island of Lolland, about 150 kilometers southwest of Copenhagen. During the past two decades, the arrival of newcomers from Copenhagen, many of them fully dependent on these incomes, has lead to deterioration of an already overstretched municipal economy, resulting in tensions between groups of local people and the newcomers. This raises the question of the human and economic consequences of the confrontations between these two groups. In order to analyze this issue, fieldwork and interviews were carried out employing a bridging/bonding social capital theoretical framework. The study revealed both a physical and mental gulf between the local residents and the newcomers, especially between the “locally born“ and “Copenhageners“ living on income transfers. The mutual distrust and distance – increased by gossip, negative media reports and symbolic violence, led to group isolation and to an “oppose each other“ attitude, summed up as exaggerated binding social capital. The article focuses on the role of open and inclusive as opposed to closed and exclusive networks, which involves a qualitative focus on the positive side of social capital, as well as its “downside“. Such a qualitatively oriented, sociological approach can be seen as relatively new within research on social capital that has been dominated by macroeconomic and quantitative approaches.
The Potential Role of PPPs in Developing a Sustainable SME Sector in Developing Countries: A South African Experience
Authors: Mabuza Patrick 
Published: January 2018

The introduction of Public-private Partnerships (PPPs) in infrastructure provision has changed the way in which governments around the world now view infrastructure provision. However, the introduction of PPPs to deliver infrastructure has not benefited the broader public. Although SMEs are important for employment creation, inequality and poverty reduction, the participation of SMEs (small and medium enterprises) in PPP projects is very low in developing countries. This is because PPP models in developing countries are developed based on those used in developed economies, and such models ignore the socioeconomic realities facing developing countries. The objective of this study is therefore to demonstrate that PPP projects in developing countries present an opportunity for growing the SME sector and create the needed jobs and contribute to poverty alleviation. The study has found that PPP projects have the potential to develop a sustainable SME sector, as it has found that SMEs do participate in PPP projects; however, their participation is curtailed by a number of challenges such as: lack of access to finance, limited human resources, low technological capabilities, and lack of access to markets. It also found that linking SMEs to PPP projects may address some of these challenges to a certain extent, especially if SMEs provide services to PPP projects during both the implementation and the operational phases of PPP projects. It also found that PPPs have not yet been identified by the South African government as one of the initiatives that can facilitate SME development. Most focus on PPP projects is only on ensuring that they include ownership by previously disadvantaged South Africans. The study recommends that a policy be developed that will incentivise PPP firms to use SMEs in their projects and penalise those PPP firms that fail to comply with the policy imperatives. It went on and found that the different South African government institutional initiatives or frameworks to support SMEs seem to be adequate; however, what is needed is a cohesive approach that links all these initiatives together and ensures that they support one another.
Perceptions of the National Credit Regulator on the usefulness of the debt counselling process in South Africa
Authors: Masilo K. H. 
Published: January 2018

The South African National Credit Regulator is responsible for the regulation of credit industry, registration and training of debt counsellors, enforcement and monitoring compliance of the provisions of the National Credit Act. The aim of this paper is therefore to analyse the perceptions of the National Credit Regulator on the usefulness of debt counselling process in South Africa. A qualitative approach, which was exploratory in nature, was adopted for this study. Ten employees from the National Credit Regulator’s office were interviewed. There was no evidence that debt counsellors were managing the debt counselling service effectively. It was also observed that the debt counsellors received insufficient support from the National Credit Regulator. The paper recommends that the National Credit Regulator should adequately support the debt counsellors so that they can effectively manage debt counselling service and ultimately assist the overindebted consumers. Debt counsellors training curriculum should also be outcomes- based approach with exposure to business management.
Wpływ pokrycia dachu na ilość i wielkość zawiesin w spływach deszczowych

Among various drainage surfaces which allow rainwater to be utilised locally, roofs are frequently chosen solution. This is because they represent a big share of all sealed surfaces in cities and discharged liquids are considered potentially clean. Scientific reports confirm that pollutants accumulate on roofs and influence the quality of discharged water. Suspended solids are the biggest group of pollutants which occur in runoffs. The selection of rainwater pre-treatment installation and further use of the water depends on the concentration of suspended solids and their particle size. This article describes results of a research concerning suspended solids discharged from roofs made of traditional materials as well as green-roofs located in urban areas. The quantity and size of particles were assessed against rainfall characteristics: rainfall depth, length of antecedent dry weather periods and season. Results of the research show diversity of concentration levels and size of suspended solids within runoffs in reference to roofing materials, rainfall characteristics and season. The highest concentrations of suspended solids in runoff from traditional roofs were observed during rainfall depth less than 5 mm, after ancedent dry weather periods more than 50 h and in winter. These parameters did not have significantly influence on the low concentrations of suspended solids in runoff from green roofs. Suspended solids particles with the size of up to 200 μm constitute the biggest share of all roof runoffs.

Published: January 2018

Resumen: Durante el siglo XX tanto el cientifismo, como el darwinismo social hicieron un uso ideológico de la teoría científica de la evolución. En opinión del autor, esas ideologías, junto a otras —como los distintos tipos de totalitarismo— están generando nuevas ideologías que acechan a las sociedades avanzadas. Este nuevo pensamiento dominante es una amalgama de transhumanismo, ideología de género y laicismo. Es necesario que la filosofía ejerza una nueva crítica de las ideologías.Palabras clave: Evolucionismo, género, ideología, transhumanismo, laicismo. Abstract: In the 20th century the scientificism as well as the social darwinism made an ideological use of the scientific theory of evolution. According to the author, those ideologies and other ones such as the different types of totalitarism, are generating new ideologies that threaten the developed societies. This new po­litical correctness is a mixture of transhumanism, gender ideology and laicism. These new ideologies should be critized by philosophy.Key words: theory of evolution, ideologie, transhumanism, laicism. Recibido: 16/02/2011. Aprobado: 10/12/2011
Instrumentalismo y realismo en la física de James C. Maxwell
Authors: Herrero Miguel Ángel 
Published: January 2018

Resumen: Los tres artículos publicados entre 1856 y 1864 por Maxwell han sido analizados con el fin de estudiar el método de la analogía científica utilizado en la construcción de la teoría del campo electromagnético. Dicha teoría consiste en un formalismo matemático con significado físico. El procedimiento seguido por Maxwell proporciona un medio idóneo para examinar cómo se construyen los términos científicos y cuál es el papel que desempeñan en la formación de la teoría científica. A tenor del análisis realizado, la teoría de Maxwell muestra que el papel de la ciencia no es revelar entidades reales escondidas bajo apariencias sensibles, sino construir un formalismo matemático significante a partir de datos experimentales.Palabras clave: Método científico, instrumentalismo, realismo, campo electromagnético, Maxwell. Abstract: The three papers published between 1856 and 1864 by Maxwell have been analyzed in order to study the method of scientific analogy applied to construct the theory of electromagnetic field. The theory consists of a mathematical formalism with physical meaning. The procedure followed by Maxell is a valuable subject to examine in order to understand how scientific terms are defined and it is also a useful way of investigating the function they played in the construction of theories. This analysis shows that the role of the empirical science is not to discover real entities hidden under sensible appearances, but to build up a meaningful mathematical formalism from experimental data.Key words: Scientific method, instrumentalism, realism, electromagnetic field, Maxwell.

Los límites del universalismo metodológico: El problema de la complejidad
Authors: González Wenceslao J. 
Published: January 2018

Resumen: Universalismo metodológico es un planteamiento acerca de la Ciencia que adquiere formas muy diversas. Por un lado, su formulación puede ser explícita o bien puede tratarse de una concepción implícita, que incide en la visión de los procesos científicos. Por otro lado, su alcance varía de manera apreciable, pues puede dar lugar a una propuesta potencialmente irrestricta o bien se puede contentar con una orientación restringida. Estas diversas formas de universalismo metodológico en la Ciencia se enfrentan a la complejidad, que en su doble vertiente —estructural y dinámica— modula de hecho los límites de esta propuesta metodológica. Así, hay ciertamente obstáculos al universalismo metodológico debidos a la complejidad. Esto se aprecia con mayor nitidez en los obstáculos a los predictores, donde la complejidad desempeña un papel decisivo. Palabras clave: Universalismo metodológico, complejidad, Ciencia Abstract: Methodological universalism is an approach to science that takes several forms. On the one hand, it may acquire an explicit formulation or have an implicit conception that influences the vision of scientific processes. On the other hand, its scope varies to appreciate extent since it can set off a potentially unrestrained proposal, or be a view that embraces a restricted orientation. These various forms of methodological universalism in science need to deal with complexity, which its double, structural and dynamic, line modules de facto the limits of this methodological proposal. Hence, there are indeed obstacles to methodological universalism due to complexity. This is appreciated with greater clarity in the obstacles to predictors, where the role of complexity is crucial.

Ética, política y retórica del determinismo
Authors: González Quirós José Luis 
Published: January 2018

Resumen: La lógica del determinismo constituye una especie de epopeya cósmica que tiende a mimetizarse tanto en la metafísica como en la literatura, y puede contribuir a os­curecer el análisis moral y político, porque, en el fondo, siempre resulta difícil independizar esos análisis respecto de afirmaciones más básicas. El determinismo propor­ciona no solo una metafísica, sino una moral y una literatura, y eso acaba siempre teniendo consecuencias políticas. Palabras clave: Determinismo, libertad, necesidad, consecuencias, intenciones, excusas, épica, relato, lógica narrativa, acción humana, prudencia, deliberación Abstract: The logic of determinism is a kind of cosmic epic that tends to blend both me­taphysics and literature, and can contribute to obscure the nature of the etical questions and, of course, the understanding of political affairs. Determinism provides not only me­taphysics, but it is essentially a rhetoric of the unavoidable, and that always ends up having political consequences.

El espíritu de la materia
Authors: López Corredoira Martín 
Published: January 2018

Resumen: Lejos de los discursos de sectas y religiones, se habla aquí del “espíritu” como una metáfora poética de lo que los hombres son o ansían ser dentro de un mundo material, un discurso para la vida y su sentido espiritual dentro del sinsentido nihilista implícito en el materialismo/naturalismo. ¿Cómo puede esta contradicción sostenerse? ¿Cómo puede el “espíritu” sostenerse en la “materia” si ambos términos se contraponen como el día y la noche? Sólo como juicio estético, fuera de cualquier pretensión ontológica, tiene sentido el término “espíritu”. Palabras clave: materia, espíritu, estética, vida, poesía Abstract. Aside from discourses of sects and religions, the term “spirit” is used here as a poetic meta­phor of what human beings are, or they strive to become within a material world. This is a discourse for life and its spiritual sense within the context of the nihilistic nonsense which is implicit in mate­rialism/naturalism. How can this contradiction be sustained? How can the “spirit” be sustained inside “matter” when both terms are as contradictory as day and night are? The term "spirit" has only sense as aesthetical assertion, away from any ontological claim. Keywords: matter, spirit, aesthetics, life, poetry Recibido: 29/10/2012 Aprobado: 18/04/2013
