Get PDFThe financial activity of any enterprise in all its forms is connected with many types of risk, the impact of which on the result of a financial firm is very large.

POR QUE O AGRO QUER SER POP? A REALIDADE POR TRÁS DA CONSTRUÇÃO IDEOLÓGICA DO AGRONEGÓCIO COMO “INDÚSTRIARIQUEZA” DO BRASIL
Get PDFEm 1960 a agricultura transformou-se em agroindústria no Brasil. Visando a operação em escala e hegemonia na produção de alimentos, o agronegócio utiliza agrotóxicos, químicos, sementes transgênicas e outras práticas nocivas à saúde humana e ao meio ambiente. Seu poder se estabelece no país devido a alianças entre Estado, ruralistas e empresas privadas do setor de alimentos e agroquímicos. Nos últimos anos, o agronegócio vem construindo uma narrativa discursiva - que consideramos ideológica - para convencer a população de que se trata da melhor forma de se construir a “indústria- riqueza” do Brasil, tendo sido veiculadas propagandas de que o “agro é pop” e o “agro é tudo”. Este artigo tem como objetivo desvelar e evidenciar as externalidades negativas ocultadas nesse discurso ideológico. As perguntas norteadoras são: (a) De que forma e por que o agronegócio é perpetuado como um modelo econômico próspero no Brasil? (b) Quais são as externalidades negativas do agronegócio no uso de agrotóxicos para o meio ambiente e para a saúde da população? (c) Diante dos problemas gerados pelo agronegócio, que estratégias as organizações e indivíduos envolvidos com o setor têm adotado para fazer crer que o “agro é pop”? Seguimos pistas de investigação dadas pela Análise de Discurso. Seguindo o Paradigma Indiciário, construímos uma rede lógica de indícios buscando coerência analítica pela interpretação não ideológica das descobertas, considerando as causas e contradições sociais em torno das ações do agronegócio em sua totalidade. Concluímos ser urgente a emergência de um novo modelo de produção agrícola

Get PDFA Study of Personification as a Literary Figure in Poems of Fereydoon Moshiri and Nizar Qabbani
Get PDFPersonification is one of the most beautiful figures of speech in poetry and it is via this power of imagination that the poet gives life and dynamicity to inanimate objects and by this mental and perceptual relationship with nature and surrounding world, he injects human spirit and characteristics to them and starts a dialogue with them and creates a new world. The authors of current article intend to assay the place of personification as a figure of speech in the poetries of two contemporary renowned poets from Iran and Syria, i.e. Fereydoon Moshiri and Nizar Qabbani, and compare their use of various types of personification from the perspective of metaphorical relation and non-relational metaphor and contents like human characteristics and states and personification, human body members and personification, addressing and abstract concepts, as well as animation of natural phenomena and objects in the poems of these two poets are comparatively assayed and analyzed. The results of our study show the existence of similarities in presentation of mental pictures and poetic syntheses and its notions in the poems of these two poets who have taken advantage of personification for expression of their own emotions and internal states. High frequency of the use of personification and avoidance of natural norms of speech are among the key features and novelty of the poetry of these two poets
Identifying the Dimensions and Components of Knowledge-based Decisionmaking and Presenting an Effective Model
Get PDFThe objective of this study was to identify the dimensions and components of knowledge-based decision-making and to present an effective model. The statistical population of the present study consists of two groups. The first group consists of experts who are familiar with knowledge-based decision-making theories that their number is unlimited and scattered across the country. They were selected purposefully and their opinions were applied in this study in the formulating and designing of the model. The second group consists of top-level, low-level, and middle-level managers of the Iranian National Tax Administration (n=2115), who are working in the tax affairs of Iran’s provinces and cities. According to the Cochran formula, 325 of them were selected as samples. The methodology of this study was descriptive-survey and knowledge-based decision-making. A questionnaire with a validity of 93.8 and reliability of 94.6% was used to collect the data. Structural equation modeling through LISREL 8.8 version software was used to analyze the data. Based on the results, the power of the relationship between the dimensions and components of knowledge-based decision-making (performance factors, behavioral factors, attitudinal factors, and structural factors) in the Iranian National Tax Administration was at a desirable level. The t-test statistic was also larger than the critical t-value of 1.96 at a 5% error level and showed a significant correlation. Based on the fitted models, it can be stated that the knowledge-based decisionmaking dimensions and components of the Iranian National Tax Administration have a relationship with each other and this relationship is direct
Formation of the collective personality in the information society
Get PDFThe paper focuses on the problems related to the development of the personality in the information society. The aim of the work is to show that the formation of a new type of collective personality occurs as a result of regular transformations in the socio-cultural sphere. The subject of the study is the evolution of the "collective personality" at the present stage, which is influenced by the information culture. The methodology of the research is based on the principle of an integrated approach to the study of the process of collective personality formation. The paper presents a socio-cultural analysis of the concept of the collective personality considered in the process of its transformation. The conceptual analysis of modern society makes it possible to put forward a hypothesis about the dead-end in the development of both an individual and a person dissolved in mass culture, whose needs are formed by the political and economic environment. The paper points to the urgency of the problem of interaction between the individual and society, which is presented at a new stage of development, under the influence of the latest information and communication technologies. The article analyzes the process of personality transformation in the information space and its opposition to mass society. It is noted that as a result of a regular process, a person in the information society does not dissolve in mass, but creates new forms of realization of individual creativity potential. It is assumed that the main factors that determine the positive socio-cultural dynamics of modern society include a conscious desire of the individual to get out of the total control of the mass consumption society. The novelty of the research is the assertion that a mass society and new communication technologies together contribute to the awakening of the collective personality. The work concludes that the modern personality is experiencing a state of crisis of "atomicity", followed by the realization of its collective essence. The field of application of the obtained research results is the theory of personality as part of social philosophy

SOCIAL AND POLITICAL INTEGRITY AND POLITICAL AND LEGAL ORDER
Get PDFThe article analyzes the essence and main characteristics of political integrity and political order. It presents various interpretations and research positions related to the justification of the latter. The theoretical and methodological basis of the work is domestic and foreign studies of political scientists, sociologists and lawyers. The paper uses ideological (phenomenological, sociocultural, systemic, etc.), general scientific (analysis, synthesis, analogy, etc.), as well as concrete scientific (historical-political, the method of political modeling) approaches and methods. The authors argue that in the context of the interrelationship of state, legal, political integrity and order, it is necessary to use the concept of “political and legal order” as more adequate, since the latter allows to comprehensively present and investigate the institutional and normative organization of society, based on political, legal norms, ideas, values and ideals, that ensures the orderliness of relations and reflects the specifics and patterns of development of a particular socio-cultural system
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF LEGAL LANGUAGE TAKING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECT
Get PDFThe authors study the features of the of legal language use in the conditions of socio-political transformations. The use of various legal terms in the revolutionary periods of the formation of the Russian state and law from the beginning to the end of the twentieth century is analyzed. It is noted that a whole layer of terms reflecting new realities appeared in the legal language after the October Revolution; this fact allowed legal drafters to use them as a political tool, to formulate legal norms in such a way that they fit into the overall political agenda. In turn, the collapse of the Soviet Union also led to a radical change in social and political relations, the total destruction of the established legal system. Significant changes occurred in the legal language. The authors make the conclusion that the legal language is a kind of a conductor of political will and in some case the tool for manipulating the content of legal norms. Legal language is an indicator of social and political transformations. Emerging new words reflect the emerging social relations, demonstrate a new political course, chosen in one or another period of state development
