Social capital and inequality in immigrant entrepreneurship: pathways and barriers
No full textImmigrant entrepreneurs who belong to marginalized populations face significant financial, social, cultural, and legal barriers (Hernandez, 2024). While founding and sustaining a new business is not an equal experience for all (Guzman & Kacperczyk, 2019), entrepreneurship offers marginalized people a pathway to greater economic inclusion and social mobility (Min & Bozorgmehr, 2003; Hwang & Phillips, 2023; Rider et al., 2023). Furthermore, despite the risks associated with new enterprises, immigrants are more likely than their native-born counterparts to become entrepreneurs (Kerr & Kerr, 2020). Considering this evidence, entrepreneurship has the potential to offer marginalized immigrants a pathway to economic inclusion and social mobility. As organizational scholars and members of an unequal society with growing anti-immigrant sentiment, it is crucial to investigate the mechanisms that could reduce barriers to entrepreneurial entry and growth for marginalized immigrants. The literature on social capital identifies it as a powerful resource facilitating entrepreneurial success (Burt, 1992; Lin et al., 2001; Adler and Kwon, 2002; Samila & Sorenson, 2017; Portes & Sensenbrenner, 1993). However, in the context of immigrant entrepreneurship, the role of social capital is far from straightforward.. Immigrants, being foreign to the host country, often lack access to the social networks that facilitate entrepreneurial entry, especially in the absence of resource-rich ethnic enclaves (Portes & Stepick, 1985). Even when such networks exist, cultural norms or an overreliance on insular perspectives within these enclaves can limit entrepreneurial ambition and growth (Portes, 2014). Finally, first-order barriers such as marginalized identities may further constrain immigrants’ ability to cultivate resourceful social ties. This symposium tackles such intricacies in the literature to advance our understanding of social capital and inequality in the context of immigrant entrepreneurship. It will feature research that explores how social capital shapes inequities in immigrant entrepreneurship and examines interventions to mitigate these disparities. Key questions addressed include: a) Can social capital offset financial inequities that hinder entrepreneurial entry? b) How do multiple overlapping identities of people influence their engagement with entrepreneurial ecosystems and networks? c) What interventions, such as macro policy changes or digital tools, can reduce the social network-driven inequities faced by immigrant entrepreneurs?

Control and Continuity: Sustainability, Land Rights, and the Politics of Food in Guatemala
No full textThis thesis seeks to understand the intersection of cultural identity and food security in a country that has had a difficult time feeding its people. The discourse on food in Guatemala, in the realm of development and international studies, maintains a focus on the lack thereof. Moreover, the author examines the food traditions and beliefs people in Guatemala feel are important as well as the obstacles they face in realizing food self-sufficiency. Many Guatemalans have an intimate connection with their land, and unequal land distribution hinders farmers’ abilities to access the foods they most value. In addition to this, the unfolding sustainable development agenda has resulted in biofuel projects that threaten the livelihoods of many rural farmers. Through interviews with chefs, agricultural workers, and agricultural commodity traders, the author pieces together the differing perspectives of various stakeholders to present a complex mosaic of Guatemalan foodways

SISTEM PENDUKUNG KEPUTUSAN PENERIMAAN SISWA BARU PADA MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH NEGERI 1 YOGYAKARTA MENGGUNAKAN METODE MULTI OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION ON THE BASIS OF RATIO ANALYSIS (MOORA): Pendahuluan
No full textThe New Student Admission (PSB) at Madrasah Ibtidayah Negeri 1 Yogyakarta, a public educational institution, previously relied on an inefficient and error-prone manual selection process. This research introduces a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) using the MOORA (Multi-Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis) method to enhance selection accuracy by considering criteria such as age, Iqro reading ability, reading, writing, and arithmetic. Data were collected through observation and interviews with the PSB committee, followed by system design and implementation using the CodeIgniter 4 framework. System functionality was tested using BlackBox and WhiteBox methods. The MOORA calculations, involving Decision Matrix, Normalization, and Optimization processes, ranked candidates based on their scores. Results indicated that alternatives A1 (Ayudia Inara), A4 (Mikaila Jannati Ahmad), A2 (Kyara Ghania Humaira), and A3 (Muhammad Salman Ali Al Masykur) had the highest scores, while A5 (Arkana Kinandra Ahsan) had the lowest. The DSS significantly improved the efficiency and accuracy of the selection process, reduced errors, and expedited decision-making, providing a more effective solution.Penerimaan Siswa Baru (PSB) di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 1 Yogyakarta, sebuah institusi pendidikan negeri, sebelumnya mengandalkan proses seleksi manual yang tidak efisien dan rentan terhadap kesalahan.

Ao alcance da razão : uma investigação sobra a ação livre em Aristóteles
No full textAristóteles é considerado um precursor do problema da vontade livre. Apesar disto, ele é também considerado por muitos de seus intérpretes ou um determinista, alguém que negou precisamente a liberdade da vontade, e um compatibilista, isto é, alguém que procurou compatibilizar o determinismo com a responsabilização ou um autor que iniciou a discussão, mas que não tinha muita clareza sobre o problema, pois este não apareceria com toda a sua força senão após os desenvolvimentos da filosofia estóica. Esta tese pretende responder a ambas estas interpretações. Para isso, é feita uma análise das passagens em que Aristóteles trata da responsabilização moral, na Ética Eudêmia II.6-11 e na Ética Nicomaquéia III.1-7. O objetivo é mostrar que sua teoria da responsabilização moral não é apenas incompatível com o determinismo da vontade, e, portanto, ele não pode ser um compatibilista, mas que a sua teoria dos atos voluntários humanos é coerente com isso, ou seja, ele produziu uma teoria dos princípios das ações que é indeterminista. Aristóteles pode assim ser considerado como tendo definido, sem confusões, o que significa para a ‘vontade’ ser livre, mesmo que ele não tenha se valido e nem definido o termo ‘vontade’. Ele não faz uso deste termo, porque tem outro termo que cumpre esta função: ‘escolha deliberada’. Aristóteles, portanto, defende uma tese da escolha livre que é necessária para sua teoria da responsabilização moral não compatibilista.Aristotle is taken to be a precursor to the ‘free-will’ problem. In spite of that, he is considered also by many scholars to be either a determinist, someone who deny the freedom of the will, and a compatibilist, someone who tried to make cohere determinism and responsibility, or an author that begun this discussion, but did not have much clarity about it, because this would have to wait the developments of the Stoic School, in Antiquity. This thesis answers both these interpretations. To accomplish this, an analysis of the passages in which Aristotle deals with moral responsibility is done, in the Eudemian Ethics II.6-11 and in the Nicomachean Ethics III.1-7. The goal is to show that his theory of responsibility is not compatible with determinism of the will and, therefore, he cannot be sustained a compatibilist, and that his theory about voluntary acts is consistent with it: he left an indeterminist theory of the principles of actions. That is why Aristotle can be taken to have answered, without any confusions, what means to the ‘will’ to be ‘free’, even though he has not used the term, ‘will’. He does not use this term, because he has another one that can play this role: deliberate choice. Aristotle, therefore, claims that free choice is necessary to his incompatibilist theory of responsibility
