Obedience to the law in De Republica
No full textEl problema de la obediencia a la ley ha sido sujeto de investigación desde la antigüedad. En el presente texto se busca presentar una república unificada de De República de Cicerón que permita comprender, a partir de la filosofía política del autor, este problema de tal manera que se puedan vislumbrar motivos para la obediencia de la ley, así como sus condiciones y limitantes. Para hacer esto es necesario que se introduzca el texto del romano y se presenten los conceptos centrales de su teoría política, por lo que se da un paso por las nociones de pueblo, ley, república, e interés común. Es a partir de esta teoría política y sus comentaristas contemporáneos que el texto procede a buscar respuestas al problema de la obediencia, suponiendo por supuesto que se dé la existencia de una república como fue concebida por Marco Tulio Cicerón. (Texto tomado de la fuente).Obedience to the lo has been subject to investigations throughout history and going back to the classical era. This text aims to present an unified lecture of Cicero’s De Republica that would allow the reader to understand the issue at hand from the political theory of the roman author. Hence, the motives for obeying the law, as well as its limits and conditions will be the goal of the present investigation. For this purpose, it is imperative to present Cicero’s text and its core concepts such as the law, the republic, the law, and the common interest. Based on this political theory as well as contemporary readers this text aims to present answers to the problem of disobedience, assuming that a republic as conceived by Marco Tulio Cicero can exist.MaestríaMagíster en FilosofíaFilosofía antigu
Public health: community learning disability nurses' perception and experience of their roles - an exploratory sequential multiple methods study
No full textPURPOSE
Research into how public health policy is translated into role specifications within job descriptions of community learning disability nurses is important. In addition, the need for research that focuses on describing how community learning disability nurses perceive, and enact their public health roles has been identified. Furthermore, there is need to explain the 'moderators' of how community learning disability nurses enact their public health roles.
METHODS
This was a 3-stage exploratory sequential multiple methods study. Stage 1 was documentary, and involved collecting and analysing community learning disability nurses' job descriptions, and or person specifications. Stage 2 was descriptive, and used a grounded theory approach. Stage 3 was explanatory, and involved an on-line questionnaire survey.
MAIN FINDINGS
There were inconsistencies in public role health expectations in community learning disability nurses' job descriptions and person specifications. The public health roles were academic, health education, health prevention, health promotion, health protection, health surveillance, healthcare access facilitation, healthcare delivery, leadership, and policy development and implementation. The moderators of public health role enactment by community nurses identified in this study were complex and extended beyond current explanations of role theory. Some of the correlates of the moderators of public role health enactment by community learning disability nurses included role clarity in job descriptions, periodic review of role expectations, role perception, perceived role value, community learning disability nurses' perceptions of employing organisations' priorities, and community learning disability nurses' perceptions of employing organisations' knowledge of the public health needs of people with learning disabilities, band, and finally the type of employer.
SIGNIFICANCE FOR RESEARCH AND PRACTICE
There is a need for clarity of community learning disability nurses' public health roles locally, and nationally. It is important that relevant organisations have structures that can respond appropriately to public health policy changes in order to meet the often complex and co-morbid health needs of people with learning disabilities
