A utopia de Ernesto Cardenal: um poema de amor à Nicarágua Sandinista
No full textEsta tese tem como objetivo a investigação da trajetória literária de Ernesto Cardenal, bem como das consequências políticas de seu pensamento durante o período que antecedeu, e no qual se desenvolveu, a Revolução Sandinista, na Nicarágua. Ao longo de sua vida, Cardenal assumiu não apenas a faceta de poeta, que o consagrou mundialmente enquanto intelectual, mas também a de religioso e de revolucionário comprometido na luta contra a desigualdade social em seu país. Dessa forma, uniu valores éticos-cristãos à causa sandinista, tendo contribuído de forma decisiva no projeto de construção de uma cultura hegemônica cristã e revolucionária que, durante dez anos (desde o triunfo revolucionário em 1979, até as eleições que levaram ao poder a candidata de oposição, Violeta Chamorro, em 1989), conferiu legitimidade ao governo da Frente Sandinista de Libertação Nacional. Cada traço de seu pensamento humano e literário, portanto, pode ser revelado em sua atuação enquanto formador de opinião no período em que fundou a comunidade contemplativa de Nossa Senhora de Solentiname e durante a Revolução, em sua atuação como Ministro da Cultura. Compreender as faces do Amor emanadas em sua vida e obra, portanto, revela-se de fundamental importância para uma análise concreta do processo de formação de uma pretensa hegemonia cultural revolucionária na Nicarágua, projeto elementar do governo da FSLN do qual Cardenal fez parteThis thesis aims to research the literary trajectory of Ernesto Cardenal, as well as the political consequences of his thought during the period leading up to the Sandinista Revolution, during which this revolution was developed in Nicaragua. Throughout his life, Cardenal took on not only the role of a poet, whichbrought him worldwide fame as an intellectual, but also that of a religious man and a revolutionary committed to the fight against social inequality in his country. In this way, he united ethical-Christian values to the Sandinistacause and contributed decisively to the project of construction of a hegemonic Christian and revolutionary culture that, for ten years (from the triumph of therevolutionin 1979 until the elections that brought the oppositioncandidate, Violeta Chamorro,to power in 1989), gave legitimacy to the government of the Sandinista National Liberation Front. Every trace of his human and literary thought, therefore, can be seen in his role as a formerof opinion in the period when he founded the contemplative community of Our Lady of Solentiname; and during the Revolution, in his role as Minister of Culture. Understanding the faces of Love that emanate in his life and work is, therefore, of fundamental importance for a concrete analysis of the process of formation of an alleged revolutionary cultural hegemony in Nicaragua, a fundamental project of the SNLF government which Cardenalwas part ofCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superio

THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF EUROPEAN COMPANIES: A COMPARATIVE APPROACH
Get PDFThe present study empirically examines the financial performance of European companies and tries to identify the profitability differences that exist between: enterprises with same profile, economic sectors and between several countries from the European Union. Based on data of the year 2009, the newest available on the BACH-ESD database, three financial performance main indicators are being calculated, namely: Return on Assets, Return on Equity and Net Margin. Results are discussed and compared with the ones obtained in former similar studies and some conclusions are drawn. The most performing sectors are found to be mining, quarrying, professional, scientific and technical activities, utilities and IT&C. The sectors that perform the worst are transport and storage, agriculture, accommodation and food service. As shown in other studies the most profitable and competitive companies in the sample belong to the Nederland, Belgium and Austria and the least profitable ones are situated in Italy and Portugal. As a complementary useful result of the study, the average values obtained for the three variables, in the various sectors considered, can be utilized for future comparisons, for assessing the financial performance of companies that belong to same sectors as those surveyed. This paper is a dissemination of the results obtained by the author in the doctoral program "The financial performance of EU member states' companies", coordinator: Professor Carmen Corduneanu, PhD, carried out within West University of Timişoara, Romania, in the period October 2010- July 2012.financial performance, return on assets, return on equity, net margin, BACH-ESD database
Evaluación de fortalezas humanas en estudiantes de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y diferencias de sexo: relación con salud, resiliencia y rendimiento académico
Get PDFTesis de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de Psicología, Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamientos Psicológicos II, leída el 07-11-2014La Psicología Positiva supone el estudio científico del funcionamiento psíquico óptimo y de las condiciones que contribuyen al desarrollo de las personas, grupos e individuos (Seligman y Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). Estos autores establecieron que los tres temas principales de la Psicología Positiva son el estudio del afecto positivo, de los rasgos positivos de personalidad (es decir, las fortalezas psicológicas) y de las instituciones positivas. El estudio de las fortalezas ha sido, desde el inicio de la Psicología Positiva, una de los temas centrales de análisis e investigación (Peterson y Park, 2013).Existen varios modelos de fortalezas humanas en la actualidad. En esta investigación se utiliza el modelo Values in Action (VIA) (Peterson y Seligman, 2004). Se trata de una perspectiva importante de los rasgos positivos y las fortalezas humanas. Desde este modelo se afirma que existen 6 virtudes (características centrales del carácter valoradas moralmente) y 24 fortalezas (procesos psicológicos y mecanismos mediante los cuales se manifiesta una virtud) que son universales, además de haber temas situacionales subyacentes a estas fortalezas.El cuestionario VIA-IS es la forma de evaluar las fortalezas humanas desde el modelo VIA (LaFollete, 2010; Peterson y Seligman, 2004). Este instrumento ha sido traducido al español pero no se han realizado suficientes estudios que confirmen su fiabilidad y validación en España. La revisión sistemática de 22 estudios de 13 países con respecto al funcionamiento del VIA-IS en su apartado psicométrico permite concluir que la fiabilidad obtenida por consistencia interna y estabilidad temporal (test-retest) es adecuada. También se observa que el VIA-IS tiene buenos indicadores de validez de criterio, no obstante, su validez de constructo es cuestionable ya que se encuentran anomalías en la estructura factorial de primer y segundo orden, es decir, la composición de las virtudes y la unidimensionalidad de las fortalezas varía en función del país o la cultura a la que se administra el cuestionario...Character strengths-based inquiry has been, since the beginning of Positive Psychology, one of the central themes of analysis and research (Peterson & Park, 2013). The Values in Action Classification is an important perspective of positive traits and character strengths (Peterson & Seligman, 2004). The VIA Classification consists of 24 widely-valued character strengths organized under six broad virtues. In addition to this two levels, there are situational themes that underlie those character strengths. The VIA-IS is a measure based within the VIA project (LaFollete, 2010; Peterson & Seligman, 2004).Moreover, several studies indicate that there are differences between men and women in psychological strengths (Linley et al., 2007; Ovejero & Cardenal, 2011). The results show that women tended to score higher in interpersonal strengths, while men have higher scores on the intellectual strengths. However, there is no clear data about the influence of sex on the correlations among character strengths and wellbeing, satisfaction with life, academic performance, engagement, resilience and mental and physical health, and the role of that variable on the prediction of these wellbeing indicators using character strengths as independent variables...Depto. de Psicología Social, del Trabajo y DiferencialFac. de PsicologíaTRUEunpu

Stern, Alberto Flores Galindo and Hilldale Professor of History, Emeritus, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA One of the leading figures in Latin American folk music and art during her lifetime, Violeta Parra was a vital force in the artistic, musical, visual, cultural, and social cultural production of the Chilean 1960s. Fifty years after her death, she continues to deeply influence artists of the present day. This book revisits Parra’s work and legacy to illustrate her global impact across artistic and political boundaries. Contributors offer multi-disciplinary perspectives that delineate how Parra contributed to shaping and—at the same time—antagonizing, societal processes in mid-20th century Chile. Patricia Vilches is Professor of Spanish and Italian and Scholar in Residence at Harlaxton College, UK and Professor of Spanish and Italian at Lawrence University, USA (retired). She is author of Blest Gana via Machiavelli and Cervantes: National Identity and Social Order in Chile (2017) and co-editor of Seeking Real Truths: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Machiavelli (2007).“Readers discovering Violeta Parra for the first time and those who wish to deepen their understanding of her will appreciate this illuminating book.” —Nancy Morris, Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production, Temple University, USA “The editor and her collaborators have given us a gift—the ability to ‘listen’ differently to the music and art that embodied a nation, a social era, and a singular artist.” —Steve J.

The Benefits of Bilingual Education
Get PDFThis article explores the controversial issue of Bilingual Education. Violeta Mendoza Wagner argues against the notion that Bilingual Education has failed in California schools. Borrowing from personal experience and based on a review of relevant literature the author concludes that Bilingual Education is a means to provide immigrants with a gateway to becoming full participants in this society. Dismantling Bilingual Education will not only weaken the social fabric of the state of California, but could also have a negative impact on its economic future at a time when multiculturalism and diversity are of utmost importance in an increasingly globalized world
Al filo de la modernidad: Las décimas autobiográficas de Violeta Parra como literatura
Get PDFVioleta Parra’s life and work have been the object of countless studies highlighting the artist’s identifi cation with popular social classes. Apart from a few exceptions, the critics consider her compositions and writings as an authentic popular expression, without noticing their aesthetic intention. Parra’s autobiographical décimas have undergone a similar process. The scholarly analysis of the décimas has mainly focus on the social theme and on the author’s diaphanous identifi cation with common people. This paper attempts to demonstrate that — in spite of what has been said about the transparent quality of the mimesis in selfrepresentation — the Décimas of Violeta Parra are a literary text and, as such, resort to form, rhetorical resources, style and to other literary techniques in order to achieve a pre-determined goal.La vida y obra de Violeta Parra (1917-1967) han sido objeto de innumerables estudios que recalcan la identifi cación de la artista con los estratos populares chilenos. Salvo contadas excepciones, la crítica considera sus composiciones y escritos como una expresión popular auténtica, sin prestar atención a la voluntad estética. Su autobiografía en décimas no ha corrido mejor suerte. Los ensayos sobre la misma giran, sobre todo, en torno a la temática social, subrayando la identifi cación diáfana de la artista con el pueblo. El presente ensayo se dirige a demostrar que, contrariamente a lo que se ha repetido en cuanto a la transparente mimesis de la autorrepresentación, las Décimas de Violeta Parra son un texto literario y, como tal, recurren a la forma, la retórica y el estilo para perseguir un fi n determinado

Pavao Ritter Vitezović\u27s private records and verse correspondence as sources of insight into the quotidian life of the author in the pre-modern Habsburg Empire
Get PDFThis paper presents the results of research into several aspects of the everyday life of the Croatian polymath Pavao Ritter Vitezović during his stay in Vienna in the period from 1710 to 1712. It contains an introduction, two case studies, and final remarks, as well as the renditions of several epistles into Croatian language by Zrinka Blažević. The first study is based on the critical edition published in 2019 under the title Pavao Ritter Vitezović, Epistolae Metricae (edited by Violeta Moretti and Gorana Stepanić). It thematizes an episode from Vitezović\u27s life exploring a few striking elements that can be inferred from the epistolary conversation between Vitezović and the secretary for correspondence of the Hungarian Court Office Éliás Wanyeczy concerning a joint meal on St Leonard\u27s day. These elements include the question of the menu, and the nature of the relationship between the two correspondents. The letter addressed to Ritter (NSK, R 3953 b) facilitates the reconstruction of Vitezović\u27s relationship with Wanyeczy, and supplements the conclusions about the role of the Latin epistle in the conversational culture of the early eighteenth century.
The second study presents several insights into Vitezović\u27s work habits based on the exploration of the author\u27s personal notes contained within the booklet bearing the title Varia extracta et notitiae (archived in the National and University Library in Zagreb, Croatia, as manuscript R 3463). It shows that Vitezović, who is well known today as an extremely productive author, continues to build his own fund of proverbs, sayings and quotes in his mature years. Of special interest are two Croatian verses with atypical content compared to the rest of Vitezović\u27s œuvre, as well as his personal notes on sold copies of his recent editions. Although the selected sources are not diaries in the strict sense – considering the fact that epistolae metricae are verse epistles addressed to both the various correspondents from Vitezović\u27s time and to posterity, while Varia extracta et notitiae are prose records of a private character – yet they offer insight into Vitezović\u27s everyday life and, as such, need to be further explored if we wish to provide a basis for presenting Vitezović\u27s private life in greater detail
