Habiri and Hebrews
No full textU raspravi o značenju izraza Habiri i Hebreji (Jevreji) nadrabin dr Beno Heisz iznosi nekoliko naučnih mišljenja i istorijskih činjenica o njihovom poreklu. U uvodnom delu objašnjava da je opšta seoba semitskog naroda oko 2500 godine pre Hrista i seoba Izraelaca oko 1800. god. pre Hrista, promenila lice Prednje Azije i unela nov život i novu kulturu u područje Jordana. Glavno poprište istorijskih događaja bila je Palestina. Za njeno prisvajanje dugi niz godina naročito su se borili Hebreji i Filistejci. Palestina je od drevnih vremena bila raskrsnica naroda koji se se selili sa juga i severa. Mišljenja stručnjaka se razilaze po pitanjima ko su bili i odakle su Hebreji došli i da li su istovetni sa Izraelcima. Hebreji su živeli još i pre Abrahama, koji je sačinjavao samo jedno ugledno pleme među ostalim Hebrejima. Druga hebrejska plemena imala su po svoj prilici svoje sedište u Kananu, Egiptu i Vavilonu. Samo na taj način moglo bi se protumačiti večito iseljavanje i useljavanje starih Hebreja. Narodi koji su u 15. veku p.n.e preplavili stare kulturne zemlje, pokrenuli su i semitska plemena. Među njima su se naročito istakli "Habiri", koji su pozvali pojedine kraljeve u svoju zemlju, da ratuju sa susedima i ostalim neprijateljima. Jedno od mišljenja koje dr Heisz analizira je da su ovi (Habiri) po svoj prilici identični sa Hebrejima; dakle iza 1450. godine p.n.e. počinje prvo useljavanje Izraelaca, koje se završilo osnivanjem kraljevstva. Autor navodi delo Petera Thomsen-a "Pälestina und seine Kultur" in 5. Jahrtausende koji smatra da su Habiri, Hebreji i Izraelci jedan te isti narod, tj. da su se u početku zvali Habiri, kasnije Hebreji, a na kraju Izraelci. Ovo Thomsenovo mišljenje slede i prof. Gavro Manojlović u svom delu "Povijest staroga Orijenta" i prof. Sović u svom delu "Habiri i Izraelci". Iako dr Heisz smatra da je njihov rad značajan primećuje da ne postoji biblijsko-istorijska podloga i da tvrdnja ne odgovara istorijskim činjenicama. Dr Heisz smatra da je poistovećivanje Hebreja i Habira izmišljena hipoteza pošto se iz starog talmudskog izvora (Gitin, Jebamot, Kidušin) jasno vidi da su Habiri bili neki stari perzijski narod, koji je prema izraelskom ili judejskom narodu često bio neprijateljski raspoložen. U navedenom talmudskom izvoru su istodobno veoma lepo opisani religiozni običaji "Habira" i njihove religiozne ceremonije koje nemaju nikakve sličnosti sa religioznim običajima starih Hebreja.In the discussion on the meaning of the terms Habiri and Hebrews (Jews), Dr Rabbi Beno Heisz presents several scientific opinions and historical facts about their origin. In the introductory part, he explains that the general migration of the Semitic people around 2500 BC and the migration of Israelis around 1800. BC changed the face of Asia Minor and brought a new life and a new culture to the Jordan area. The main scene of historical events was Palestine. The Jews and the Philistines, in particular, fought for its appropriation for many years. Palestine has been a crossroads of peoples migrating from the south and the north since ancient times. Experts differ on who they were and where the Hebrews came from and whether they are identical with the Israelites. The Hebrews lived even before Abraham, who made up only one respectable tribe among the other Hebrews. Other Hebrew tribes probably had their headquarters in Canaan, Egypt, and Babylon. Only in this way could the eternal emigration and immigration of the ancient Hebrews be interpreted. The peoples who flooded the old cultural lands in the 15th century BC also started Semitic tribes. Among them, the "Habiri" stood out, who invited certain kings to their country to fight with their neighbours and other enemies. One of the opinions that Dr Heisz analyzes is that these (Habiri) are probably identical with the Hebrews; hence after 1450 p.n.e. the first immigration of the Israelites begins, which ends with the establishment of the kingdom. The author cites the work of Peter Thomsen "Pälestina und seine Kultur" in the 5th Jahrtausende, who believes that the Habirians, Hebrews and Israelis are one and the same people, ie. that in the beginning they were called Habiri, later Hebrews, and finally Israelis. This opinion of Thomsen is followed by prof. Gavro Manojlović in his work "History of the Old Orient" and prof. Sović in his work "Habiri and the Israelis". Although Dr Heisz considers their work significant, he notes that there is no biblical-historical basis and that the claim does not correspond to historical facts. Dr Heisz believes that the identification of Hebrews and Habir is a fictional hypothesis since the old Talmudic source (Gittin, Jebamot, Kiddushin) clearly shows that the Habiri were an ancient Persian people, who were often hostile to the people of Israel or Judah. At the same time, the above-mentioned Talmudic source very nicely describes the religious customs of the "Habir" and their religious ceremonies, which bear no resemblance to the religious customs of the ancient Hebrews

Social choice and topology a case of pure and applied mathematics
No full textAbstractThe existence of a social choice model on a preference space P is a topological, even homotopical problem. It has been solved 50 years ago, under different terminology, by the author and, a little later, jointly with T. Ganea and P.J. Hilton. P must be an H-space and either contractible or homotopy equivalent to a product of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces over the rationals
Group Work Camp: Rekindling the campfire
No full textAbstract: A group facilitator and retired social worker describes and reflects on experiences, activities and learnings as participant facilitator at three Group Work Camp events. A mechanism through which personal and professional growth occurs using experiential learning is described. The author shares aspects of workshop design, workshop execution, and workshop as intervention, as well as a limit to and successful uses of emergent design. Collaboration and relationship growth across differences when diversity is respected is illustrated, as is the use of song for claiming voice, empowerment and healing. The ability of groups to assist when individuals fear losing or have lost their professional voice through life changes is demonstrated. Impacts occur on various levels: on the individual and interpersonal/interactional levels as the author relates personal insight into Erikson’s developmental stages and interactions with a co-facilitator; on the group/organizational level as the author relates empowerment through song to help rekindle benefits of song around the campfire; and on the societal/community level relating to social justice, generativity across differences and disciplines, international symposia participation and publication.Keywords: group work; experiential learning; nondeliberative; song; empowerment; collaboration; groupwor

Os determinantes para o sucesso do franchising em Portugal
No full textA utilização do franchising tem vindo a ganhar espaço no tecido empresarial português. O conceito de uma economia global é cada vez mais nítido nos dias de hoje espelhando um mundo cada vez mais interligado e complexo. Os fluxos de comércio, capital, tecnologia e conhecimento são os principais condutores ao fenómeno da internacionalização. O franchising pode ser um meio fácil para atingir o sucesso no mercado, uma vez que utiliza um modelo de negócio já existente. Contudo, a entrada e saída de empresas é recorrente.
Sendo assim, o objetivo da presente dissertação é identificar os principais fatores que levam a que as empresas cessem a sua atividade. Neste sentido, o autor realiza uma análise de sobrevivência às 1660 empresas franqueadas em Portugal entre 1996 e 2016, utilizando um conjunto de variáveis reconhecidas como determinantes pela literatura económica. O estudo debruça-se sobre uma base de dados que contém um total de 20 variáveis que são testadas à sua significância. Adicionalmente, o autor introduz variáveis macroeconómicas, utilizando relatórios publicados.
O principal resultado da investigação elucida que a distância entre o país de origem e Portugal, a capacidade de exportar da empresa, o investimento inicial, a presença no sector terciário e o crescimento do salário no sector antecipam a saída do mercado. Por outro lado, o crescimento do sector e o número de lojas franqueadas adiam o fim da atividade económica.Franchising has been gaining influence in the Portuguese economy. The concept of a global economy is increasing progressively, reflecting a world which is becoming interconnected and complex. Furthermore, the movements of commerce, capital, technology and knowledge are the main drivers of the internationalization phenomenon. Franchising can be straightforward to achieve market success, as it uses an existing business model. However, the entry and exit of companies is frequent.
Therefore, the aim of this dissertation is to identify the main factors that lead companies to cease their activity. In this sense, the author applies a survival analysis to a dataset of franchised companies in Portugal between 1996 and 2016, using a set of relevant determinants recognized by the economic literature. Basing the study on a dataset which contains a total of 20 variables that will be tested for their significance. Additionally, the author reinforced the range of macroeconomic variables using published reports.
The main result of the present research elucidates that the distance between the home country and Portugal, the export capacity of the firm, the initial investment required, the presence in the tertiary sector and the wage growth in the sector anticipate the exit. On the other hand, the growth of the sector and the number of franchised stores postpone the end of economic activity
