Considerations on Performance Management Models of Work Teams in the Context of Globalization
Get PDFIn the context of today ‘s business world the multinational companies use as managerial instruments the intercultural working teams (IWT). The performance management seems to be problematically within this kind of teams. Their members are liable to bring on a large scale different points of view related to proper ways of reward, recognize, estimate as well as train and develop the working team members. IWT are the interaction's expression between people with different values and behaviors, derived from various national and/or organizational cultures. This document is an introduction of an extensive study that is ongoing and aims to clarify if and why the intercultural teams are differently managed as the monocultural teams and what does this difference consist of. Ensuing from bibliographical research, I have identified up to now various performance management models applied to the working teams. Now I will follow how these models could be applied, improved or combined, in the context of intercultural component of working teams.management, performance, interculturality, work team, models

Dos siglos de historia: actualidad y debate histórico en torno a La Guerra de la Independencia (1808-1814)
No full textA partir de la celebración del Bicentenario de la Guerra de la Independencia Española (1808-1814) surge la iniciativa de desarrollar un balance histórico e historiográfico de los acontecimientos que marcaron el desarrollo de aquel conflicto en nuestro país, así como sus repercusiones a lo largo la historia hasta el momento presente desde una perspectiva internacional
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Extracellular concentrations of dopamine and metabolites in the rat caudate after oral administration of a novel catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor Ro 40-7592
No full textThe effect of the systemic administration of a novel, orally active, catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor, Ro 40-7592, on the in vivo extracellular concentrations of dopamine (DA) and its metabolites, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA), was studied by transcerebral microdialysis in the dorsal caudate of freely moving rats. Ro 40-7592 (at doses of 3.0, 7.5, and 30 mg/kg p.o.) elicited a marked and long-lasting reduction of HVA, and at doses of 7.5 and 30 mg/kg, an increase of DOPAC output. but it failed to increase DA output. The administration of L-beta-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA, 20 and 50 mg/kg p.o.) with a DOPA decarboxylase inhibitor (benserazide) increased both HVA and DOPAC output, but failed to modify significantly extracellular DA concentrations in dialysates; in contrast, combined administration of L-DOPA + benserazide with Ro 40-7592 (30 mg/kg p.o.) resulted in a significant increase in DA output. Ro 40-7592 prevented the L-DOPA-induced increase in HVA output and markedly potentiated the increase in DOPAC output. To investigate to what extent the increase in extracellular DA concentrations was related to an exocitotic release, tetrodotoxin (TTX) sensitivity was tested. Addition of TTX to Ringer, although abolishing DA output in the absence of L-DOPA, partially reduced it in the presence of L-DOPA + Ro 40-7592 and even more so after L-DOPA without the COMT inhibitor. The results of the present study suggest that metabolism through COMT regulates extracellular concentrations of DA formed from exogenously administered L-DOPA but not of endogenous DA. Therefore, inhibition of COMT results in a potentiation of L-DOPA effects not only by inhibition of its peripheral metabolism (conversion to 3-methoxy-DOPA), but also by inhibition of the metabolism of its active metabolite, DA, in the brain
