DSpace for e-print archives
No full textDSpaceTM (http://dspace.org/) is the new open source digital repository system from the MIT Libraries and Hewlett-Packard Labs designed to support the digital collections of academic research institutions, as well as the SPARC conception of Institutional Repositories for digital research material. The DSpace system has been described elsewhere in detail so the focus of this article is on its implementation at MIT for archiving e-prints and other artifacts of scholarly communication, and making these available to the public. The MIT Libraries are deeply concerned about the well-documented crisis in scholarly communication and are committed to working
towards innovative solutions. We share this concern with many of the MIT faculty and administration, several of who have been key supporters of the DSpace project and related
initiatives at the university. The MIT Libraries were a founding member of SPARC, and are a signatory of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI). This article will describe how MIT Libraries have implemented DSpace to support these goals
Alexandra Kollontai: a mulher, o direito e o socialismo
No full textA presente pesquisa aborda o pensamento de Alexandra Kollontai, autora russa marxista e feminista que se destacou durante o regime de transição socialista iniciado com a Revolução Russa Proletária de outubro de 1917. Foi a primeira mulher a ocupar um cargo junto ao alto escalão do governo, como Comissária do Povo do Bem-Estar Social, a ocupar o posto de Embaixadora em diversos países, e finalmente ao receber o título de Ministra Plenipotenciária, na Noruega. Seu pensamento feminista tornou-se notável (e objeto de embates polêmicos), ao propor nova moral sexual, a se estabelecer na futura sociedade comunista, fundada nos princípios proletários da solidariedade, da camaradagem e da coletividade, como meio de propiciar cidadania. Por meio de detalhada análise sob a perspectiva marxista, Kollontai concebe a problemática feminina como questão social, haja vista a estreita ligação existente entre a exploração e opressão da mulher no mercado de trabalho e no âmbito familiar e o regime econômico capitalista. Como forma de assegurar a libertação da mulher, com sua participação nas fileiras de trabalho em igualdade de condições com os homens, Kollontai propõe a socialização dos serviços domésticos e dos cuidados com os filhos. Aprofundando a linha de pensamento desenvolvida por Engels em A origem da Família, da Propriedade Privada e do Estado, a autora propõe a abertura dos relacionamentos entre os sexos, sob a forma de união livre, e antecipa os contornos da forma familiar futura, definindo-a como família universal proletária, em que não mais haverá diferenciação entre os filhos. Sua notoriedade também é vista em virtude da sua participação como líder da Oposição Operária, facção criada dentro do Comitê Central do Partido Comunista Bolchevique durante o regime de transição, que se opunha frontalmente a decisões adotadas por líderes do Partido, em especial, Vladimir Ilich Ulianov (Lenin), bem como aos caminhos adotados no curso da revolução.This research addresses the thought of Alexandra Kollontai: Russian Marxist and feminist author who stood out during the transitional socialist started with the Russian Revolution Proletarian October 1917, being the first woman to hold office with the highest levels of government, as Commissioner People's Welfare, to occupy the post of ambassador in several countries, and finally to receive the title of Minister Plenipotentiary, in Norway. Her feminist thinking became notable (and controversial object collisions) for proposing new sexual morality, to establish in the future communist society, founded on the principles of proletarian solidarity, camaraderie and community, as a means of promoting citizenship. Through detailed analysis from the perspective of Marxism, Kollontai conceives the question of women as a social issue, given the close link between the exploitation and oppression of women - in employment and in the family - and the capitalist economic system. As a way to ensure women's liberation, with their participation in the labor ranks on equal terms with men, Kollontai proposed socialization of housework and child care. Deepening the line of thought developed by Engels in The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, the author proposes the opening of the relationships between the sexes in the form of free union, which will run no longer necessarily the duty of exclusivity (or fidelity) and anticipates the future contours of the familiar form by defining it as proletarian universal family where there is no longer differentiate between children. Her notoriety is also seen as a result of its participation as a leader of the Workers' Opposition, faction created within the Central Committee of Communist Party of Bolsheviks during the transition regime, which flatly opposed to decisions made by party leaders, in particular, Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov (Lenin) and the paths taken in the course of the revolution.Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquis

Minimização do risco em carteira: aplicação da moderna teoria do portfólio
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro Sócio-Econômico. Economia.O elevado nível de oscilação no preço dos ativos no mercado acionário, ocasionado por expectativas dos agentes econômicos resulta em alto risco para os investidores, uma vez que tal comportamento torna-se imprevisível na presença de choques econômicos. Nesse sentido, os investidores procuram ao máximo inibir o componente aleatório dos preços dos ativos financeiros, por meio de um processo de diversificação de ativos. Dentre as metodologias existentes para a minimização do risco estão a de Markowitz e Sharpe. A metodologia de Markowitz é caracterizada pela otimização do trade-off entre risco e retorno, e permite delinear uma fronteira eficiente de portfólios, no qual se identifica as melhores composições de ativos para cada nível de risco assumido. Enquanto isso, o método de Sharpe, mais conhecido como CAPM, complementa a base da teoria moderna do portfólio. Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente estudo é utilizar uma metodologia de otimização de portfólio capaz de minimizar o risco e identificar seu maior retorno médio para cada nível de risco assumido. A partir da inclusão de um ativo livre de risco à fronteira eficiente de Markowitz, é possível determinar seu retorno exigido para os ativos. Conclui-se que a aplicação dos métodos à um caso real, por meio da utilização do software MatLab, apresentou-se eficaz, uma vez que foi possível identificar a minimização do risco mediante o procedimento de diversificação de ativos e a composição ideal para o alcance do ponto máximo do índice Sharpe

Commentaries on experimenting with openness and engagement
No full textThis chapter focuses on experimentations with openness and engagement with animal research. It presents three separate commentaries – two from invited respondents to this chapter of the book, and one from the chapter editor. The first commentary is from Bella Lear, a social researcher and science communicator who works to drive and support change in the animal research sector. Her commentary charts changes to the openness agendas in animal research from the perspective of someone closely involved with those changes. She reflects on how the three chapters in this section create new points of entry to discussions about animal research, which can add dynamism to debates. The second commentary is from Louise Mackenzie, an artist who experiments with the imaginative possibilities of extending animal welfare and care to all manner of organisms. This commentary brings artistic practice into conversation with the three chapters, arguing that honesty and truth are at stake in how openness is performed, for whom, and for what purpose. The section editor’s closing commentary looks across all of the book chapters and commentaries, with the aim of identifying key themes. In this final piece, Roe identifies how the contributors have created activities where participants lead in how, where, and when they engage with animal research, rather than being presented with a preformatted vision or version of animal research. These build to reveal the contours of the animal research industry’s contemporary culture of both openness and closedness
