    We describe the pioneering attempts made by Ruy Luís Gomes (1905–1984) and other Portuguese physicists to develop a research and teaching seminar in theoretical physics at the University of Oporto in 1942–1944 under the leadership first of the refugee Austrian theoretical physicist Guido Beck (1903–1988) and then of the Romanian-French theoretical physicist Alexandre Proca (1896–1955).These efforts failed, however, owing to lack of sustained financial support from the Portuguese government and to the political repression of the Salazar regime,which dismissed Gomes and other prominent Portuguese physicists and other scientists from their university positions

    La filosofía del derecho de Alexandre Kojève

    No full text
    This article is a presentation of Alexandre Kojève’s philosophy of law, exposed in his Esquisse d’une phénoménologie du droit (1981). Little attention has been paid to this work. So there is a gap that has to be filled with a critical reflection of its strengths. Among them, undoubtedly, we count the fact that Kojève is introducing a conception of international justice that casts a singular light on current debates about cosmopolitanism and globalization. According to this author, citizenship is the key element of the process of global expansion of the juridical sphere. In sum, Kojève’s philosophy is useful to reflect upon the contrast between the juridical and the political, which is the basis for all philosophy of law, in order to achieve world peace and international justice.Este artículo es una presentación de la filosofía del derecho de Alexandre Kojève contenida en su Esquisse d’une phénoménologie du droit (1981). La poca atención que dicha obra ha recibido es un vacío que debiera llenarse con una reflexión crítica de sus puntos fuertes. Entre ellos destaca una concepción de la justicia internacional que proyecta una luz muy singular sobre los actuales debates en torno a la globalización y el cosmopolitismo. A ojos de este autor, la ciudadanía es el elemento clave para aquilatar la expansión global de lo jurídico. En suma, Kojève aparece como un valioso referente en la labor de pensar la contraposición entre lo jurídico y lo político que está en la base de toda filosofía del derecho, con la aspiración al logro de la justicia internacional y la paz mundial en el horizonte

    No full text
    Partimos da evolução histórica do consensualismo contratual salientando os principais carateres que, nos diversos momentos históricos, se foram evidenciando. Numa segunda etapa exploramos os fundamentos dogmáticos do modelo de transmissão contratual assumido pelo legislador e a sua viabilidade no sistema jurídico global, em particular, no direito dos valores mobiliários. Constatamos a crescente necessidade na prática mercantil e inevitabilidade no sistema jurídico global da admissibilidade da existência de contratos de compra e venda de natureza meramente obrigacional. Num terceiro momento desenvolvemos os principais aspetos do regime jurídico aplicável às ações tituladas nominativas fora do mercado regulado, em particular, os principais limites à transmissão, enquanto instrumentos/barreiras ao consensualismo contratual.We start from the historical evolution of contractual consensualism emphasizing the main aspects that, in different historical moments, were showing up. In a second stage we explore the dogmatic foundations of the transmission model contractual assumed by the legislator and its viability in the global legal system, in particular, in securities law. We note the growing need in commercial practice and inevitability in the global legal system the admissibility of the existence of contracts of sale purely obligatory. In the third stage we develop the main aspects of the legal regime applicable to nominative titled actions outside the regulated market, in particular, the main limits to the transmission, as instruments / barriers to contractual consensualism

    El Libro de Alexandre es un texto de s. XIII, que se escribió en la España medieval. En este escrito, el autor pretende demostrar que, en el Alexandre, algunas de las situaciones que se ponen a prueba son aceptadas, pero eso no significa que el macedonio gane la prueba. El articulo esta dividido en tres apartados. En el primero, el autor da cuenta de la historia textual de la obra y también dedica ciertas líneas al Estado de la cuestión del texto; mientras que, en la segunda parte, nos guía a conceptos etimológicos de los términos prueba, evidencia y demás. En el tercer apartado se centra en algunas pruebas expuestas en el Libro de Alexandre.The Libro de Alexandre is a literary work, written during the medieval Spain. In this paper, the author tries to demonstrate that, carefully reading the L.A, some of the situations that are set as proves are accepted, but it does not mean that Alexander can be a victor. This paper is divided in three sections: firstly, the author tells the textual history of the L.A and, then, tries to update the State of art: on the other hand, in the second part, the author offers meanings about terms as: prueba and evidencia. Finally, the author focuses on certain passages contained in the Libro de Alexandre that can be taken as failed proves

    Mixing the Immiscible: Improvisation within Fixed-Media Composition

    No full text
    This paper will explore ways in which mastered improvisation practice, with the studio as an instrument, is a proposed avenue to bridge the historical dichotomy between what Ted Gioia describe as ‘the aesthetics of perfection’ and ‘the aesthetics of imperfection’. It is proposed as a way to re-embody fixed music, as experimented by the author through the composition of his last fixed-media work. This will be put in the context of a wider trend observed amongst the current emerging generation of composers interested in the aesthesics of the work, by opposition to the previous generations that placed the value of the work in its poietics. The vital and primal importance of practice outcome as practice-based research’s main document will also be advocated for, as these trends are happening in the laboratory of live music

    The cognitive theory / therapy (CT) produced profound changes in psychiatry and psychology contributing thus to treat a variety of disorders. In diagnostic terms, the CT use psychometric scales and other instruments. For example, in 1961, Beck developed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) revised in 1978 (BDI-1A) and in 1996 the BDI-II was published. In 2001, the Beck Youth Inventory (BYI-II) was prepared for children and adolescents aged 7-18 years consisting of an inventory of five scales that assess symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, disruptive behavior and self-concept. The aim of this work was to construct a systematic review of national and international scientific production of the Beck Depression Inventory for Youth (BDI-Y), the Beck Anxiety Inventory for Youth (BAI-Y) and the Beck Disruptive Behavior Inventory for Youth (BDBI-Y); furthermore, we considered studies that employ these tools in the clinical area and overall health. The review was carried from the use of descriptors: Beck Depression Inventory for Youth , Beck Anxiety Inventory for Youth and Beck Disruptive Behavior Inventory for Youth . The references selection criteria were: presence of the descriptor in the text, articles written in English, Spanish and Portuguese; repeated references in other databases will be selected only in one base; references that were related to the theme, with the guiding criterion focus on using the BAI-Y , the BDI-Y and BDBI-Y. The results were: following criteria for inclusion, 11 articles, with the descriptor \"Beck Depression Inventory for Youth\"; with the descriptor \"Beck Anxiety Inventory for Youth\", 11 studies were selected. Already with the descriptor \"Beck Disruptive Behavior Inventory for Youth\" were selected only three references. Therefore, undertake a review of the scientific production of three inventories Beck Youth Inventory (BYI-II) was essential to verify the scarcity of studies about BDI-Y, BAI-Y and BDBI-Y. Results show no Brazilian studies, most are from the United States and only one reference reported use of Beck Inventories, second edition, adapted and validated for the Chinese reality. These results can contribute to raising awareness about the need to researchers to continue this discussion, considering the great necessity of their inclusion in research and research development with emphasis on studies of the psychometric properties of these instruments and their appropriateness to the Brazilian reality. Finally, with the guarantee of further studies, will be possible to evaluate the competence of this scales and their utility in the academic and clinical community.Mestre em Psicologia AplicadaA teoria/terapia cognitiva (TC) promoveu profundas mudanças na psiquiatria e psicologia colaborando, assim, para o tratamento de uma ampla variedade de transtornos. Em termos diagnósticos, a TC faz uso de escalas psicométricas e de outros instrumentos. Por exemplo, em 1961, Beck desenvolveu as Escalas de Depressão de Beck (BDI) revisadas em 1978 (BDI-1A) e em 1996 a BDI-II foi publicada. Em 2001, elaborou o Beck Youth Inventory - (BYI-II) para crianças e adolescentes com idades entre 7 a 18 anos, que consiste em um inventário de cinco escalas que avaliam os sintomas de depressão, ansiedade, raiva, comportamento disruptivo e autoconceito. O objetivo deste trabalho foi construir uma revisão sistemática da produção científica nacional e internacional do Beck Depression Inventory for Youth (BDI-Y), do Beck Anxiety Inventory for Youth (BAI-Y) e do Beck Disruptive Behavior Inventory for Youth (BDBI-Y); além disso, foram considerados estudos que empregam esses instrumentos na área clínica e da saúde em geral. A revisão foi realizada a partir da utilização dos descritores: Beck Depression Inventory for Youth ; Beck Anxiety Inventory for Youth e Beck Disruptive Behavior Inventory for Youth . Os critérios de seleção da amostra foram: presença do descritor no corpo do texto; artigos escritos na língua inglesa, espanhola e portuguesa; referências repetidas em outras bases foram selecionadas apenas em uma base; referências que estavam relacionadas ao tema, tendo como critério norteador do estudo o enfoque sobre o uso do BAI-Y, do BDI-Y e do BDBI-Y. Após critérios de inclusão, os resultados obtidos foram: 11 artigos, com o descritor Beck Depression Inventory for Youth ; com o descritor Beck Anxiety Inventory for Youth , 11 estudos foram selecionados. Já com o descritor Beck Disruptive Behavior Inventory for Youth foram selecionadas apenas 3 referências. Portanto, empreender uma revisão da produção científica de três inventários do Beck Youth Inventory (BYI-II) foi essencial para tornar possível a verificação da escassez de estudos para os inventários BDI-Y, BAI-Y e BDBI-Y. Os resultados mostram que nenhuma referência nacional foi encontrada, a maioria é oriunda dos Estados Unidos da América e apenas uma referência relatou o uso dos Inventários Beck, segunda edição, adaptados e validados para a realidade chinesa. Esses resultados podem contribuir para um maior esclarecimento acerca da necessidade de pesquisadores darem continuidade a esta discussão, considerando a grande necessidade da inclusão destes instrumentos em trabalhos de pesquisa e o desenvolvimento de investigações com ênfase em estudos das propriedades psicométricas desses inventários e de sua adequação à realidade brasileira. Por fim, com a realização de mais estudos, torna-se possível avaliar a eficácia destas escalas e sua utilidade na comunidade acadêmica e clínica

    O presente estudo circunscreve-se na área de Literatura, alicerçando-se especialmente entre dois campos: Literatura e Intermidialidade. Ancora-se, sobremaneira, em uma pesquisa das representações da infância nas kid strips Armandinho, de Alexandre Beck (cartunista e ilustrador catarinense). Busca-se observar, nas personagens infantis que as protagonizam, características psicológicas, como desconcerto, humor, inteligência, sátira e transgressão. Assinala-se que o objetivo geral é compreender efeitos de sentido – no campo da ficção – nas tirinhas (impressas ou virtuais) que envolvem a personagem Armandinho, assim como os demais personagens infantis que integram sua turma. Para tanto, basear-nos-emos nos seguintes teóricos: Thierry Groensteen (2015), Will Eisner (2010) e Scott McCloud (2005) para compreender o sistema dos quadrinhos; Sophie Van der Linden (2018) em sua abordagem acerca dos processos de ilustração, diagramação e tipografia; Paulo Ramos (2007, 2017) e Vítor Nicolau (2013), com o intuito de aprofundarmos os estudos sobre conceito, história e linguagem; Márcio Antônio Gatti (2013) e Renan Silva Duarte (2018), no que abarca o universo kid strips e as representações da infância

    El artículo reflexiona sobre la educación que recibe Alexandre “El grande” a manos de su profesor Aristóteles, retratado en el “Libro de Alexandre”; a continuación analiza las disciplinas que compusieron dicho programa con el interés de proponer una interpretación de la lista de las siete artes liberales mencionadas. Este artículo ofrece una visión de las diferentes maneras en las que los textos reflejan la “clerecía” del protagonista así como de otros personajes, incluyendo el anónimo autor de los mismos. Cualquiera que se dedique a las mencionadas artes liberales será glorificado y Alexandre se presenta él mismo como modelo ideal de un príncipe en quien la nobleza y al inteligencia van unidas, una defensa clara de la “clerecía” como fuente fundamental de toda excelencia. This article deals with the education imparted on Alexander the Great by Aristotles, as portrayed in the “Libro de Alexandre”, analyzes the disciplines and proposes an interpretation of the list of the seven liberal arts mentioned therein. This article also offers an encompassing view of the different ways in which the text reflects the “clerecía2 of the protagonist as well as that of the other characters, including the anonymous author himself. Anyone who dedicates him or herself to the aforementioned liberal arts is thereby glorified, and Alexander presents himself as the ideal model of a prince in whom nobility and cleverness are joined, in a clear defense of the “clerecía” as the fundamental source of all excellence

    Why is unemployment so high in Bulgaria?

    No full text
    The author seeks to determine the main factors behind poor labor market outcomes in Bulgaria. Unemployment in Bulgaria is high and of long duration. The accumulation of the unemployment stock has been caused by relatively high inflows into unemployment coupled with limited outflows. These features of the Bulgarian labor market are typical of other transition economies in Central Europe and exploring their sources is of broad interest. The author focuses on determinants of and constraints to job creation. He uses data on job creation and job destruction from a survey of employment in all registered firms. He finds that the source of large inflows into unemployment is intensive enterprise restructuring associated with a high pace of job reallocation. However, job creation falls short of job destruction. Three main factors account for the limited job creation and hiring, and thus for low outflows from unemployment: a) The unfriendly business environment, reflected by a low rate of new firm formation, and a relatively small, small and medium enterprise sector. b) Labor market rigidities, including excessive hiring and firing costs. c) Skill and spatial mismatches brought about by enterprise restructuring, as well as low skills and marginalization of the long-term unemployed who cannot successfully compete for new jobs. The author recommends a three pronged strategy to improve labor market performance: (1) removing bureaucratic constraints to entry and expansion of firms; (2) enhancing labor market flexibility through lowering hiring and firing costs; and (3) improving the educational system so as to equip workers with broad and portable skills.Environmental Economics&Policies,Labor Policies,Labor Markets,Public Health Promotion,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Labor Markets,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Labor Standards,Banks&Banking Reform
