Itzel A. Sosa-Sánchez

Full Text Available Resumen A partir de un estudio cualitativo, exploramos los vínculos entre discursos médicos sobre género y sexualidad, y las regulaciones corporales, sexuales y reproductivas en los espacios de salud reproductiva. Entrevistamos a médicos de servicios públicos de salud en México e indagamos sobre las prácticas reproductivas y sexuales de las usuarias, así como sobre las asignaciones sociales y profesionales de cuidado del cuerpo en las relaciones sexuales. Los testimonios revelan cómo los discursos y normatividades sobre género y sexualidad legitiman, en los espacios de salud reproductiva, las desigualdades sociales, especialmente las de género, y la doble moral sexual imperantes en la sociedad mexicana. Las mujeres emergen como saturadas de una sexualidad “desordenada” que debe ser controlada a través de diversas regulaciones corporales, sexuales y reproductivas. Estas regulaciones inciden en el reconocimiento de su autonomía sexual y reproductiva, e impactan negativamente en sus derechos.

Full Text Available Se trata de una investigación de campo, de tipo correlacional que buscó determinar la relación entre la maduración biológica y la potencia muscular de los miembros superiores en nadadores de categorías menores. Se evaluaron 23 niños(as edades comprendidas entre los 10 y los 13 años. La muestra se caracterizó a través de mediciones antropométricas: estatura, masa corporal, envergadura, composición corporal y superficie corporal, maduración sexual (Tanner, 1975. Se aplicó Test de Wingate (laboratorio y piscina según Dotan y Bar-Or (1983 y Morouco (2009 para miembros superiores para estimar potencia máxima, potencia relativa, potencia promedio, índice de fatiga. Los datos se presentan en medidas de tendencia central y dispersión; se calcularon las diferencias de un factor y se estimaron las correlaciones con la técnica Pearson y Spearman. Los resultados indican que el entrenamiento fuera del agua influyó en el rendimiento dentro del agua. El tamaño de las dimensiones corporales y el número de horas de entrenamiento tiene incidencia sobre la potencia producida por los nadadores, con diferencias notables a partir de los 10 años. Las dimensiones corporales y la mayor frecuencia de entrenamiento semanal generan valores altos de potencia muscular. Se recomienda realizar evaluaciones periódicas de fuerza y potencia, crear y mantener actualizado el perfil antropométrico, aplicar cuestionario de autoevaluación de caracteres de maduración sexual y ajustar los periodos de duración de las horas de entrenamiento, en tanto se incrementen las edades.

Full Text Available Actualmente los adolescentes manifiestan su afinidad hacia una determinada estética corporal impuesta por la sociedad contemporánea; esto hace que los más jóvenes presenten una preocupación excesiva por su cuerpo y lleven a cabo conductas de riesgo para el desarrollo de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. En esta investigación se entrevista a 482 estudiantes universitarios/as a los que se les aplica el Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI y un cuestionario sobre comportamientos alimentarios e imagen corporal. Los resultados muestran la mayor preocupación de las mujeres por el peso y la imagen corporal, siendo ellas además las que en mayor medida recurren a las dietas para alcanzar el peso ideal. Siendo el colectivo de chicas las que presentan en mayor medida tanto variables cognoscitivas como comportamentales de riesgo para el desarrollo de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria, lo que justifica la necesidad de implementar programas de prevención al colectivo de estudiantes universitarias.

Full Text Available Durante el ciclo de la vida, la figura corporal de la mujer se modifica paulatinamente, pero al llegar la edad mediana, a consecuencia de la pérdida folicular de la función ovárica entre otros factores, se acentúan los cambios fisiológicos que pueden aumentar el riesgo para la salud y el bienestar. La androgenia, en asociación con la obesidad, aumenta el riesgo de padecer diabetes, hipertensión, dislipidemia, arterosclerosis, enfermedades cardiovasculares, colelitiasis, artrosis, artritis, carcinomas femeninos y otras patologías de la edad mediana. El ejercicio físico ha adquirido cada vez mayor importancia dentro de la terapéutica en el climaterio. Se han demostrado los efectos positivos del ejercicio sobre las enfermedades cardiovasculares y el mantenimiento del peso. Por todo ello, el estudio pretende conocer la influencia de un programa de actividad física de cinco meses de duración sobre factores de riesgo cardiovasculares como la hipertensión arterial y la composición corporal en mujeres premenopáusicas. Participaron 20 mujeres premenopáusicas, separadas en dos grupos de mujeres: menores de 35 años (n=10, y mayores de 35 años (n=10. Las valoraciones previas y al finalizar el programa fueron: valoración de la tensión arterial y de la composición corporal. Los resultados mostraron una reducción significativa en mayor medida en la tensión arterial diastólica y en la masa grasa en el grupo de mujeres mayores de 35 años premenopáusicas. Por ello, practicar un programa de ejercicio físico basado en el aeróbic, clases de step y tonificación con mancuernas, mejora factores de riesgo cardiovasculares como la hipertensión arterial y la composición corporal en mujeres adultas mayores de 35 años premenopáusicas.

El ascetismo pentecostal gitano y la gestión corporal. Una aproximación desde la antropología del cuerpo

Ignacio Ramón Mena Cabezas

2008-02-01

Full Text Available Las creencias y prácticas religiosas pentecostales constituyen un conjunto elaborado de estrategias de transformación y renacimiento personal. Tanto la reforma corporal como diferentes aspectos de la experiencia vital y biográfica se convierten en factores decisivos de la construcción social de la realidad de los gitanos pertenecientes a la Iglesia de Filadelfia. El trabajo que presentamos se detiene en aspectos como: el cuerpo como objeto y sujeto de prácticas biopolíticas y religiosas; las relaciones entre experiencia religiosa y gestión corporal; las nuevas interacciones sociales y dinámicas comunitarias; los discursos autobiográficos como vehículos ideológicos de la conversión y transformación personal. Todos estos procesos reflejan el modo como las prácticas sociales reelaboran y canalizan los comportamientos y significados del cuerpo. Por otro lado, los dones carismáticos pentecostales canalizan y expresan las demandas individuales y comunitarias de los conversos de la Iglesia de Filadelfia y suponen elementos centrales de la gestión corporal y vital pentecostal. El objetivo es, pues, analizar las prácticas corporales que permiten la transformación de los creyentes y configuran los rituales e interacciones comunitarias de las congregaciones.

Full Text Available This work focuses on the effect of gender diversity on corporate performance. The current work, an extension of previous studies, focuses on the presence and effect of female stockholders, directors and top managers by analysing their impact on various accounting ratios, market value and technical efficiency. With a view to testing these hypotheses, we selected Spanish corporations that were listed on the Madrid Stock Exchange over the period 2004-2006 as an objective population. Corporate governance information on these companies is available from the CNMV database. Our findings show that companies with higher levels of gender diversity do not obviously outperform other companies with lower levels, in terms of several market and accounting measures. Therefore, gender diversity may not influence corporate performance.Este trabajo se centra en analizar el efecto de la diversidad de género en el rendimiento empresarial. El trabajo que se presenta, como extensión de estudios anteriores, se centra en analizar la influencia que tiene la presencia de mujeres accionistas, directivas y altos cargos en los Consejos de Administración de las empresas, así como en analizar el impacto que tiene dicha presencia en el rendimiento empresarial, tomando como variables representativas de dicho rendimiento medidas contables, de valor de mercado y de eficiencia técnica. Con la finalidad de testar las hipótesis planteadas, se han seleccionado las empresas españolas que cotizaban en la Bolsa de Madrid durante el período 2004-2006, constituyendo el período objeto de estudio. La información sobre gobierno corporativo se ha obtenido de la base de datos disponible en la Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las empresas con mayores niveles de diversidad de género no superan a otras empresas con niveles más bajos, en términos de medidas contables y de mercado y en definitiva, la diversidad de género parece no influir

Se utilizó: la escala de Stunkard y cols. (1983 para establecer la satisfacción con la IC; el cuestionario de Marsh y Southerlan (1994 para medir el AF general y sus dimensiones y otro cuestionario elaborado para esta investigación, donde se recopiló datos personales, sociales e indicadores de la composición corporal para el cálculo del IMC. Los resultados mostraron que el grupo de adolescentes satisfechas con su IC reportaron un puntaje promedio mayor en apariencia física pero menor en el AF general en comparación con las insatisfechas. Se encontró relación significativamente negativa entre IMC y la apariencia física. Por lo tanto se concluye que la muestra en estudio basa la satisfacción de su IC en relación con indicadores corporales como el peso, de manera que a menor peso más satisfechas están con su apariencia física e IC, por lo tanto, se le debe dar una orientación adecuada a esta muestra de sujetos para evitar que puedan caer en algún tipo de trastorno de alimentación, como método drástico para la reducción de peso.

Full Text Available This work analyzed the morfometric measures (hip, withers height and thoracic circumference and Guzera bulls body weight, and determined the correlation between its traits, as well as age and farm effect. Bulls from 12 to 72 months old were used and raised in four farms in the North and Northwest area of Rio de Janeiro state. The data are from October 2004 to June 2005. In order to verify farm and age effects on morfometric measures and body weight, variance analysis was carried out. The age influenced the morfometric measures and body weight (P<0,05. The hip and withers height increased until 36 months of age, whereas the thoracic circumference and the corporal weight, until 48 months. The farm effect (P<0,05 was significant for all animal ages, suggesting that different management, weather and genetic herd breed could influence size and body weight. Morfometric measures had high correlations between itself and body weight (0,73 to 0,98, which shows that higher bulls tended to be heavier. Thoracic circumference was highly correlated to body weight (r= 0,97, that is to say this trait can be used to estimate body weight.Objetivou-se estudar as medidas morfométricas (altura de cernelha, garupa e circunferência torácica e o peso corporal de touros da raça Guzerá, e calcular a correlação de Pearson entre as características, assim como analisar os efeitos de idade e de fazenda. Foram utilizados, de outubro de 2004 a junho de 2005, um total de 45 touros com idade entre 12 e 72 meses, mantidos em quatro fazendas do Norte e Noroeste Fluminense. Para verificação dos efeitos de idade e fazenda, foi realizada análise de variância. A idade influenciou as medidas e o peso (P<0,05. As alturas de cernelha e de garupa aumentaram até os 36 meses, e a circunferência torácica e o peso aumentaram até os 48 meses de idade.

A GST, GSC e GSM foram comparadas com as medidas de gordura obtidas pela Dexa. A CC, a RCQ e a GSC foram comparadas com as medidas de gordura obtidas pela TCA. Na análise estatística, utilizou-se o coeficiente de correlação de Pearson (r e foi utilizado o teste de Mann-Whitney. RESULTADOS: A gordura medida pela Dexa foi correlacionada com GST, a GSC e GSM, mesmo após o ajuste pela idade (r>0,80 para todos. A gordura total de abdômen medida pela TCA foi correlacionada com a CC, RCQ e a GSC após o ajuste pela idade (r>0,80 para todos. CONCLUSÕES: Os métodos de estimativa da gordura corporal devem ser escolhidos de acordo com o tipo de gordura a ser avaliada e podem ser utilizados em pesquisas e nos serviços de saúde como alternativa à Dexa e TCA para portadores do HIV/Aids.

Los objetivos de este estudio fueron investigar si la personas con DI podían identificar correctamente su imagen corporal y determinar si participar en un programa terapéutico de pérdida de peso (PTPP influenció de alguna manera esa percepción. Para ello, a lo largo de un PTPP, se realizó una comparación entre una medida objetiva (IMC y una medida subjetiva (escala de Stunkard de imagen corporal. Los resultados mostraron que los individuos con DI (n = 24 percibieron de manera errónea su imagen corporal incluso antes de la realización de cualquier programa de intervención (58%. Después de aplicar el PTPP durante diez semanas se observó una acentuación de esta distorsión (83% con respecto a los valores reales de IMC. La conclusión más importante que se puede sacar de este estudio es que las personas con DI no identifican correctamente su imagen corporal. Asimismo, la participación en PTPP tiene influencia en la imagen corporal, en el sentido de que el control de dos variables, como el ejercicio físico y la restricción calórica, causa una mayor distorsión que el control de solamente una de ellas.

Los géneros Osillatoria, Euglena y Strombomonas (clases Cyanophyceae y Euglenophyceae, predominaron en la dieta de las larvas de anuros en el sitio menos alterado. Las larvas de los sitios más alterados consumen menor cantidad de alimento y registran una menor condición corporal. La presencia de determinadas algas, indicarían un mayor grado de contaminación en los agroecosistemas. La eutrofización de lagunas podría alterar la disponibilidad de alimento para larvas de anuros que podría tener consecuencias poblacionales negativas. Se sugiere el análisis de dietas larvarias como un potencial bioindicador de salubridad ambiental.

2015-12-01

Full Text Available ResumoEste artigo problematiza como os jovens em conflito com a lei são administrados nas medidas socioeducativas de internação e busca a discussão das diferenças entre as formas de atender aqueles que recebem medidas de proteção e aqueles que recebem medidas socioeducativas. No que concerne à gestão, encontra-se uma separação na administração das medidas de proteção e das medidas socioeducativas em meio aberto, geridas pela Assistência Social, e as medidas socioeducativas de internação, geridas pela Segurança Pública. A pesquisa se desenvolveu pelo método cartográfico, que abrangeu entrevistas realizadas com profissionais do sistema socioeducativo, visitas às unidades de internação, leitura de processos jurídicos e oitivas de audiências na Vara da Infância e da Juventude. Conclui-se que a proteção integral preconizada pelo ECA não atinge todos, como é o caso dos adolescentes em conflito com a lei que estão internados, tendo seus direitos violados em prol da manutenção da segurança da população.

Full Text Available Objetivo. Analizar la relación entre el índice de masa corporal (IMC y la percepción de la imagen corporal. Metodología. A 199 estudiantes de enfermería, Universidad de Antioquia, 2007, se calculó el IMC y la imagen corporal utilizando la escala de siluetas propuesta por Sorensen et al. Se utilizaron las medidas de tendencia central, dispersión y proporciones. Se evaluó el nivel de concordancia entre el IMC real y la percepción de la imagen corporal y el nivel de concordancia de estas dos variables con la edad y con el semestre académico que cursaban. Resultados. Edad promedio 23,3 años, IMC de 22,7, 68,4% sobreestiman su imagen corporal (p= 0,05 y 4,5% la subestiman. Hubo concordancia entre el IMC real y la percepción de la imagen corporal sólo en 38,2%. Conclusión. La sobreestimación de la imagen corporal podría afectar el modelo de atención de enfermería y por ende alterar en los pacientes su autopercepción y estado nutricional.Objective. To explore the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI and body image's perception. Methodology. BMI and body image silhouettes from 199 Universidad de Antioquia's female students, from Medellin - Colombia, 2007 Body image's perception were calculated using the Sorensen et al's scale. We used measures of central tendency, dispersion, and proportion, besides, we measured the level of agreement between actual BMI and body image perception and level of agreement of these two variables with age and undergraduate level. Results. Average age 23.3 years, BMI 22.7 (SD: 2.9, 68.4% overestimated their body image (p = 0.05 and 4.5% underestimated it. There was concordance between actual BMI and body image perception in only 38.2%. Conclusion. This overestimation of body image's perception might affect the care model assistance that nurses provide to their patients and consequently it might distortion patients self perception and nutritional status.

Realizou-se um experimento em duas fases, utilizando-se 27 cabritos machos da raça Saanen em cada uma, distribuídos nos tratamentos: alimentação à vontade, 30 e 60% de restrição. O peso vivo (PV inicial foi de 5 kg na Fase 1 e 20 kg na Fase 2, abatendo-se os animais ao atingirem 20 e 35 kg de PV, respectivamente. Foram determinadas as medidas biométricas e avaliada a condição corporal no animal vivo e, após o abate e resfriamento de 24 horas, as medidas da carcaça. Estimaram-se o peso em jejum (PJ, o peso da carcaça fria (PCF e a compacidade da carcaça, em função das medidas biométricas. O perímetro torácico e o comprimento corporal foram as medidas biométricas que apresentaram melhor ajuste para estimar o PJ, o PCF e a compacidade da carcaça e, por isso, são recomendados, por serem precisos, práticos e de fácil execução.Biometric measures of dairy goats were taken to estimate equations for prediction of weight and carcass characteristics of animals with different nutritional conditions.

Não houve diferença significativa entre os valores para as medidas dos dois grupos (P>0,05, mas verificou-se correlação positiva entre a distância entre os planos da linha coronária e do ápice do processo extensor (afundamento da falange distal e indicadores de deposição de gordura localizada no pescoço e na base da cauda. Os achados demonstram que a morfometria radiográfica do dígito dessa população de equinos Mangalarga Marchador difere da de raças estrangeiras. Além disso, nos animais estudados, éguas com escore corporal 7 e 8 não aparentaram estarem mais sujeitas à laminite, uma vez que não houve diferença entre a morfometria de éguas com escore inferior. Entretanto, as correlações positivas entre índices de obesidade e a distância de afundamento da falange distal indicam que éguas Mangalarga Marchador também estão sujeitas à ocorrência de laminite associada à obesidade.

This research examines 126 manufacturing companies which are listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange (ISX and have issued an audited financial statement for 2006. The statistical method used to test the hypothesis is Path Analysis. The result suggests that Good Corporate Governance influences both the disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Financial Performance and that Corporate Social Responsibility significantly influences Corporate Financial Performance. The result also suggests that CEO Tenure, the controlling variable, holds a significant influence on the disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility.

Full Text Available En este trabajo analizaremos usos y representaciones corporales de los integrantes de una "hinchada" de fútbol, buscando reconstruir el modelo corporal de estos actores. Pelearse en un estadio contra parcialidades rivales, beber o consumir drogas prohibidas y concebir de forma positiva la gordura son prácticas y representaciones que constituyen a los hinchas y que conforman una particular idea de cuerpo. Estos parámetros forman y delinean una corporalidad que tiene vínculos directos con la masculinidad. Ésta se sustenta en usos y representaciones corporales; la prueba final de ser comprendido como un "verdadero hombre", un "macho", según los estándares del grupo, se concreta por intermedio del rol testimonial del cuerpo. Corporalidad y hombría son vehículos que posibilitan identificar a estos actores con determinados espacios sociales, distinguiéndose de aquellos cuyos usos y prácticas los ubican en las antípodas del mapa socialIn this work we will analyze the uses and corporal representations of a gang hooligans, seeking to reconstruct the corporal pattern of these actors. To fight in a stadium against rival gangs, to drink or to consume forbidden drugs and to conceive the obesity in a positive way are practices and representations that configure the hooligans and that form a particular idea of the body. These parameters outline a corporality that has direct links with the masculine identity. This is based on uses and corporal representations; the final test for being identified as a "true man", as a "male", according to the group standards, is by means of the body's testimonial role. Corporality and manliness are means that facilitate the identification of these actors with certain social spaces, being distinguished of those whose uses and practices locate them in the antipodes of the social map.

A través de la técnica de análisis de contenido cualitativo se analizan las versiones taquigráficas de los debates parlamentarios con el fin de responder los siguientes interrogantes: ¿cómo fue caracterizado el problema público al cual ambas leyes darían respuesta?, ¿cómo fue conceptualizada la misión de ambas leyes?, ¿en qué medida dicha definición implicó poner en entredicho las nociones de salud y enfermedad con relación a la cobertura de tratamientos de optimización o modificación corporal por parte del sistema público de salud? El proceso de sanción de ambas leyes implicó tensionar los conceptos de salud y enfermedad como categorías morales.

Full Text Available O termopar ou par termoelétrico é utilizado na obtenção da temperatura do ar com ótima precisão, sensibilidade e com grande vantagem sobre o termômetro de mercúrio ou álcool, pois geram sinais elétricos que podem ser armazenados em sistemas automatizados. No entanto, quando se trata da obtenção da umidade relativa a partir de termopar, o processo se torna mais cauteloso devido a outros fatores envolvidos. Neste estudo, avaliaram-se dois conjuntos psicrômetros de termopar, aspirado e não aspirado, em relação a um conjunto Vaisala, no período de 17 a 31/01/2008 (15 dias. A partir de medidas de temperaturas de bulbos seco e úmido foram obtidas medidas da umidade relativa, e com isso, foi possível compará-las com as medidas obtidas pelo conjunto Vaisala. Os dois tipos de psicrômetros apresentaram precisão e exatidão nas medidas de temperatura do ar, e apenas precisão nas medidas de umidade relativa do ar, sendo que o psicrômetro aspirado foi o mais preciso. Apesar do psicrômetro não aspirado ter apresentado menor precisão nas medidas, ele é mais robusto porque independe do micro-ventilador de 12 VDC, o que faz dele um sensor com menos riscos de medidas inadequadas. Ambos os psicrômetros, aspirado e não aspirado, não medem com exatidão a umidade relativa do ar no período noturno.

Fueron estudiadas 59 jugadoras de balonmano, todas ellas pertenecen a las categorias juvenil, junior y senior. Las variables analizadas fueron: 20 medidas antropometricas, el indice de masa corporal, sumatorio de cuatro pliegues, porcentaje muscular, el somatotipo y las velocidades de lanzamiento. No se encontraron diferencias estadisticamente significativas (p . 0,05 en las variables que caracterizan a la muestra asi como en el somatotipo y velocidad de lanzamiento en los distintos equipos nacionales. Todas las selecciones estudiadas presentan un somatotipo endo-mesomorfico a excepcion del equipo juvenil que presenta un somatotipo meso-endomorfico. Los resultados corroboran que existe un prototipo de jugadora de balonmano similar en todas las categorias. El componente mesomorfico es el predominante por lo que se puede deducir que la robustez musculo-esqueletico en el balonmano femenino puede ser determinante.

Full Text Available Breve repaso al desarrollo de la concepción métrica en la tipografía en plomo, alternativa y complemento de la visión habitual en lo que conocemos como “tipometría”. Se parte de una noción amplia de medida: el factor cuantitativo se dilata con la articulación de relaciones proporcionales e integra la dimensión cualitativa de los sistemas métricos tradicionales. La tipografía se considera bajo presupuestos similares: como sistema articulado de piezas materiales cuyas magnitudes contienen usos y valores específicos, más allá de su simple expresión numérica. Con tales premisas, se revisan fuentes documentales significativas del “período de la imprenta manual”. Su examen, vinculado a los usos y costumbres de oficio, desvela la distinta aproximación métrica, que puede resumirse en tres fases evolutivas: hermética, intensiva, expansiva –como recogen las referencias de los cuerpos tipográficos: adjetivas, sustantivas, numéricas. Se proporciona así un marco para apreciar el cambio de sentido en las medidas tipográficas hasta nuestros días.

Parte do aparato legal do Estado, a partir da promulgação do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, significaram, essas medidas, uma chamada à responsabilização do jovens, em face da transgressão cometida. No entanto, avalia-se, o que dá a essas medidas o caráter socioeducativo, fazendo com que o trabalho desenvolvido nas instituições diferencie-se do cumprimento de pena? Estrutura física, formação de recursos humanos, ações educativas e trabalho transdiciplinar são alguns dos aspectos implicados nesta questão.

El trabajo en Smith: valor o medida del valor?

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Adolfo Rodríguez Herrera

2016-12-01

Este artículo revisa los conceptos desarrollados por Smith para formular su teoría del valor (valor, precio real y valor de  cambio. Nuestra interpretación de sus textos sobre el valor no coincide con la que tradicionalmente se ha hecho. De acuerdo con nuestra interpretación, no sería correcta la crítica de Ricardo y Marx a la posición de Smith sobre el papel del trabajo como medida de valor. Para estos autores, Smith no es consistente al proponer que el valor de una mercancía es definido o medido como la cantidad de trabajo necesaria para producirla y simultáneamente como la cantidad de trabajo que puede ser comprada por esta mercancía. Tratamos de demostrar que para Smith el trabajo tiene un doble papel –como fuente y como medida del valor–, y que a ello se debe la confusión generada por su uso de algunos términos: Smith propone el trabajo como una medida de valor porque lo concibe como una fuente de valor. Con esta interpretación queda claro, paradójicamente, que la teoría del valor trabajo de Smith corresponde sustancialmente con la que más tarde desarrollarán Ricardo y Marx.

Full Text Available RESUMO Neste artigo, partindo do objetivo de compreender a relação entre violência juvenil e a resposta do Estado através das medidas socioeducativas, buscamos explicitar o pano de fundo das pesquisas científicas atuais. Realizamos uma meta-análise dos artigos publicados sobre adolescência e medidas socioeducativas, no campo da psicologia, entre os anos de 2000 e 2012. Concluímos que essa produção nacional pode ser reunida em três grandes categorias: (a prático-experiencial, que apresenta relatos analíticos da prática na aplicação das medidas socioeducativas, privilegiando a experiência concreta; (b político-institucional, que discute criticamente a dimensão política da lógica socioeducativa, detendo-se na análise estrutural de sua legislação e de suas instituições; (c sociocultural, que analisa os determinantes sociais e psíquicos do fenômeno da violência juvenil.

Full Text Available Actualmente, el ejercicio de funciones jurisdiccionales atribuidas a las autoridades administrativas ha generado interpretaciones judiciales confusas, en la aplicación de medidas cautelares innominadas para la protección de derechos de autor y conexos en Colombia; así lo evidencia el análisis realizado a las medidas cautelares descritas en la Ley 1493 del año 2011, que otorgó competencias de inspección, vigilancia y control sobre las sociedades de gestión colectiva de derechos de autor y conexos; en este sentido se requiere describir las funciones jurisdiccionales de la Dirección Nacional de Derecho de Autor respecto a las medidas cautelares y su importancia en la protección de los derechos de autor y conexos, al igual que analizar las medidas cautelares innominadas desde su origen, las características y lo propuesto por la Corte Constitucional en materia de funciones jurisdiccionales de la Dirección Nacional de Derecho de Autor y respecto de la procedencia de las medidas cautelares innominadas como competencia de esta entidad. Se concluye que las medidas cautelares nominadas no son suficientes, y que se hace necesario acudir a las medidas cautelares innominadas, como herramienta jurídica del funcionario administrativo, sin que ello implique arbitrariedad y prejuzgamiento en el proceso.

Full Text Available O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar os efeitos das medidas não tarifárias, especificamente as medidas sanitárias e fitossanitárias - SPS e medidas técnicas - TBT, sobre as exportações brasileiras de fumo e se tais efeitos permaneceram nos períodos subsequentes à emissão das notificações. Para tal, foi estimado um modelo gravitacional utilizando uma amostra de 89 países importadores do fumo do Brasil entre o período de 1997 a 2011. O método utilizado na estimação das equações foi o modelo Poisson-Pseudo Maximum Likehood-PPML. Os resultados obtidos mostram que as medidas ou SPS afetaram negativamente o fluxo internacional do comércio de fumo. Além disso, verificou-se que esses efeitos perduraram nos períodos posteriores à emissão da notificação, sendo que as empresas exportadores podem demorar até dois anos para se ajustarem às exigências requeridas. Dentre os objetivos das notificações SPS, a maior parte está relacionada a medidas para proteção da saúde humana e proteção da planta, o que pode explicar a maior dificuldade de adequação, pois são exigências que demandam grandes investimentos. Já as medidas TBT não foram estatisticamente significativas, confirmando o caráter não restritivo dessas notificações sobre o comércio internacional de fumo. Apesar da maior parte das notificações ao fumo estarem associadas a medidas técnicas, os resultados indicaram que elas não configuraram como barreiras ao comércio de fumo. Isso pode sugerir que as exigências a elas referidas, que, em sua grande maioria, foi referente à rotulagem e/ou embalagem, foram atendidas pelo Brasil sem maiores dificuldades. Dessa forma, torna-se importante a inclusão de questões referentes à regulamentação dessas medidas nas discussões e processos de tomada de decisão das empresas exportadoras de fumo. Em termos de ações governamentais, seria interessante a criação ou aperfeiçoamento de políticas no sentido

Corporate Brand Trust as a Mediator in the Relationship between Consumer Perception of CSR, Corporate Hypocrisy, and Corporate Reputation

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Hanna Kim

2015-03-01

Full Text Available The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between consumer perception of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR, corporate brand trust, corporate hypocrisy, and corporate reputation. Based on the one-to-one interview method using a structured questionnaire of 560 consumers in South Korea, the proposed model was estimated by structural equation modeling analysis. The model suggests that consumer perception of CSR influences consumer attitudes toward a corporation (i.e., perceived corporate hypocrisy and corporate reputation by developing corporate brand trust. This in turn further enhances corporate reputation while decreasing corporate hypocrisy. The findings of our study demonstrate that consumer perception of CSR is an antecedent to corporate brand trust, which fully mediates the relationship between consumer perception of CSR and corporate reputation. In addition, corporate brand trust has the role of partial mediator in the relationship between consumer perception of CSR and corporate hypocrisy. These results imply that to better understand the relationship between consumer perception of CSR and consumer attitudes toward a corporation, it is necessary to consider corporate brand trust as an important mediating variable. The theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed, together with its limitations and potential for future research.

Full Text Available OBJETIVO: Analisar a validade de métodos para avaliação de gordura corporal em crianças e adolescentes. MÉTODOS: A busca foi realizada por dois pesquisadores independentes, nas bases eletrônicas MEDLINE, BioMed Central, SciELO e LILACS. Como critérios de inclusão, os artigos deveriam ser escritos nas línguas inglesa ou portuguesa, ter utilizado como medida critério modelos multicompartimentais, com medida de gordura corporal em crianças e adolescentes não atletas. RESULTADOS: A busca preliminar resultou em 832 artigos, e após todas as etapas de seleção 12 compuseram esta revisão. Os trabalhos selecionados foram publicados entre 1997 e 2010, com amostras formadas por crianças e adolescentes com níveis de gordura corporal relativa de 20,7-41,4%. Os métodos utilizados foram: absortometria radiológica de dupla energia (58,3%, diluição de isótopos (41,6%, espessura de dobras cutânea (33,3%, pesagem hidrostática (25%, impedância bioelétrica (25%, pletismografia por deslocamento de ar (16,6% e condutividade elétrica corporal total (8,3%. CONCLUSÃO: A partir da análise dos estudos, concluímos que os métodos diluição de isótopos e pletismografia por deslocamento de ar foram os que se apresentaram mais confiáveis, apesar do número reduzido de investigações. Já para a utilização clínica e em estudos populacionais, a equação de Slaughter et al., que utiliza a espessura das dobras cutâneas tricipital e subescapular, foi a que apresentou melhores resultados para avaliação da gordura corporal nessa população.

Full Text Available La diversidad individual que alberga la escuela representa un reto ineludible. Para promover el desarrollo integral del alumnado resulta necesario favorecer competencias para la vida, como la inteligencia emocional, que les ayuden a lograr un mejor ajuste sociopersonal y escolar. Sin embargo, la diversidad conceptual en torno a la inteligencia emocional ha contribuido a la proliferación de medidas y ha dificultado la integración de la investigación. En todo caso, atendiendo a las propiedades psicométricas y a las dimensiones que miden, este trabajo recoge los principales instrumentos de medida de la inteligencia emocional que posibilitan una evaluación más rigurosa y exhaustiva del constructo en niños, niñas y adolescentes.

Se aplicó una encuesta a 64 productores, con el fin de documentar el sistema de producción. Se realizó una caracterización fenotípica de la población caprina; se registraron medidas corporales de 509 animales. El sistema se diferenció en insatisfacción de la producción, distancia a las áreas urbanas y tipo de trabajadores. La alimentación de los animales se basa en el pastoreo con una suplementación mínima. Las medidas corporales incluyen: altura a la cruz (77.0 ± 0.3 cm, circunferencia del pecho (87.0 ± 0.3 cm y longitud del cuerpo (78.0 ± 0.3 cm, obtenidas hasta los 4 años de edad. Edad al primer estro = 6.9 meses, edad al primer servicio = 8.3 meses, intervalo entre partos = 1 año, longitud de lactación =7.4 meses y crías promedio por parto =6.3. La mayoría de los productores (40 % evalúa a sus hembras en base a la producción y a los fenotipos (no se cuenta con un registro. El principal recurso para los machos se obtiene fuera del rebaño, sin considerar las características de adaptación y productividad. Todos los productores comentan que las cabras de raza europea con alto porcentaje de mejoramiento genético muestran problemas de adaptación.

Full Text Available Se informa que con el neuromonitoreo y el manejo intensivo del traumatismo craneoencefálico grave, se han identificado un grupo de fenómenos fisiopatológicos diferentes, los cuales requieren de medidas disímiles y específicas para cada paciente, lo que hace más racional el tratamiento de ellos. De la misma manera esto ha propiciado que cambien radicalmente las concepciones acerca de antiguos patrones terapéuticos establecidos durante muchos años; ejemplo de esto es el cambio en la reposición hídrica de ellos, los cuales antes se mantenían sobre una vertiente seca y hoy se preconiza la euvolemia estricta, la sustitución de la hiperventilación de rutina por la ventilación optimizada, cambios en la política del uso de agentes osmóticos, la terapia barbitúrica y la craneotomía descompresiva en casos de hipertensión intracraneal refractaria a medidas terapéuticas convencionales. En este trabajo se hace una revisión actualizada de las principales medidas terapéuticas utilizadas en estos pacientes, acorde con lo que plantean los lineamientos para el tratamiento del traumatismo craneal grave de la Asociación Americana de Cirujanos Neurológicos y los del consorcio europeo para la lesión cerebral. Las medidas terapéuticas utilizadas en estos pacientes se dividen en 2 fases. En este tercer trabajo de actualización se aborda el manejo de la primera fase que corresponde a la estabilización urgente inicial antes de establecer la medición de la presión intracraneal (PIC, así como las medidas generales de la segunda fase una vez iniciado el monitoreo de la PIC.

Se plantea un estudio comparativo sobre la no rmativa relacionada con los fenómenos de acoso escolar o bullying y ciberacoso o cyberbullying en ocho CC.AA. seleccionadas al azar. El objetivo principal es conocer cómo se ha abordado esta problemática, así como comparar los protocolos de actuación propu estos y el carácter de las medidas recogidas para su intervención en cada CC.AA. Los resultados indican que la mayoría de las políticas hacen referencia expresa al bullying y una de cada cuatro menciona el cyberbullying, también se detectó que la mitad de los protocolos proponen medidas de actuación ante violencia escolar. En cuanto al carácter de las medidas adoptadas, el análisis demuestra que éstas se dirigen, casi exclusivamente, al alumnado agresor y que, en la mayoría de los casos, son de índole corre ctiva/disciplinaria. Se destaca que en las normativas apenas se hace referencia a medidas de carácter educativo, dejando sin respuesta la propuesta del Defensor del Pueblo que hacía hincapié en las medidas educativas.

Full Text Available This paper aims to determine the trend of the relationship between corporate environmental responsibility and corporate reputation by focusing on a study of the European automotive sector. The starting point of our research is content analysis of the sustainability or social responsibility reports published in 2010, 2011, and 2012 by 13 businesses operating in the European automotive industry. Content analysis was carried out in order to identify the indicators used to assess corporate environmental responsibility. The methodology aimed to produce an evaluation model for corporate environmental responsibility based on the following variables reported by companies: carbon dioxide emissions, water consumption, energy consumption, and amount of waste. Corporate reputation of sampled organizations was assessed based on content analysis of the 2010, 2011, and 2012 reports of the Reputation Institute. We applied the correlation of panel data and emphasised the fact that high levels of corporate environmental responsibility sustain high levels of corporate reputation. The study highlights the theoretical considerations that support this relationship. As companies become increasingly accountable, the methodology described in our study can be developed in further research by using other variables to measure corporate environmental responsibility.

Two kinds of safety measures can be considered: those applying to the personnel, and those that protect the equipment. The efficiency and trouble free completion of the work will depend on the nature of the safety measures that are taken. Accidents are easy to avoid in general if the right safety precautions are taken. Such accidents involve both moral and financial damage, and a consequent loss of efficiency.Las medidas de seguridad que deberán adoptarse en cualquier trabajo serán las precisas, puesto que puede ser tan perjudicial señalar demasiadas como no señalar ninguna.

MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 30 obesos, de ambos os gêneros, com IMC maior ou igual a 30 Kg/m². Inicialmente, os voluntários foram submetidos às avaliações de medidas antropométricas a fim de calcular o valor do IMC. Em seguida, foram submetidos ao teste de equilíbrio corporal estático Balance Error Scoring System (BESS e a plantigrafia para a identificação da impressão plantar. Por meio do método de Viladot, os voluntários foram classificados em grupos: pé plano (GPP, pé cavo (GPC e pé neutro (GPN. A correlação entre as variáveis IMC e BESS foi calculada por meio do coeficiente de correlação linear de Pearson e associação entre o IMC e a configuração plantar foi realizada por meio da análise de variância (Anova. Para todas as análises, nível de significância considerado foi p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Os valores da correlação entre o IMC e o BESS foram r = - 0,1 e p = 0,59. Os valores da associação do IMC entre GPN - GPP; GPN - GPC; GPP - GPC foram respectivamente: p = 0,76; p = 0,001; p = 0,07. CONCLUSÃO: O índice de massa corporal de adultos obesos não influencia o equilíbrio corporal, porém influencia na configuração plantar.

Full Text Available El presente estudio tiene como objeto utilizar el IAT (Implicit Association Test para medir actitudes hacia las mujeres, de modo de comparar dichas evaluaciones de carácter automático con las obtenidas por medio de una medida explícita. Además, los participantes respondieron a un inventario de roles sexuales de modo de ver si los sujetos manejaban el estereotipo dominante asociado a lo femenino y sus efectos sobre el prejuicio. La muestra quedó conformada por 80 estudiantes universitarios. No se detectaron diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres en los estereotipos asociados a la mujer, ni en la evaluación que se hace de estas (medida explícita. En la medida de IAT las diferencias entre sexos aparecen, indicando que los hombres muestran una actitud implícita más negativa hacia las mujeres. De este modo se confirma que la aparente disminución del prejuicio que puede constatarse en los cuestionarios podría encubrir el hecho de que las actitudes negativas se mantienen a nivel implícito.

Full Text Available In the developed stock markets the corporate governance aspect is crucial in the stock portfolio selection process for investor seeking to achieve shareholder value sustainability. In the emerging markets the importance of the corporate governance role just starts to be realized by the investors and by the corporate managers. The present research, looking at the stock performance leaders and laggards, analyzes whether the corporate governance system matters to achieve long-term shareholder value within the Central and Eastern European stock markets universe. Corporate governance quality was assessed and compared among the out- and underperformers. The financial results plausibility and the ownership structure were considered as well. Additionally, the authors analyzed whether the quality of corporate governance influences the economic performance of the company. The obtained results provide the proof that the corporate governance does matter as the market outperformers have above average corporate governance quality and provide trustworthy financial results more often than the underperforming companies. Besides, well-governed companies are also able to deliver more attractive financial results.

Measuring Corporate Sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance Value Added

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Alena Kocmanová

2016-09-01

Full Text Available The aim of the paper is to propose a model for measuring sustainable value which would complexly assess environmental, social, and corporate governance contribution to value creation. In the paper the concept of the Sustainable Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Value Added is presented. The Sustainable Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Value Added is based on the Sustainable Value Added model and combines weighted environmental, social, and corporate governance indicators with their benchmarks determined by Data Envelopment Analysis. Benchmark values of indicators were set for each company separately and determine the optimal combination of environmental, social, and corporate governance inputs to economic outcomes. The Sustainable Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Value Added methodology is applied on real-life corporate data and presented through a case study. The value added of most of the selected companies was negative, even though economic indicators of all of them are positive. The Sustainable Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Value Added is intended to help owners, investors, and other stakeholders in their decision-making and sustainability assessment. The use of environmental, social, and corporate governance factors helps identify the company’s strengths and weaknesses, and provides a more sophisticated insight into it than the one-dimensional methods based on economic performance alone.

Medida del coeficiente d33 de piezocomposites por interferometría láser

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Montero de Espinosa, F.

2002-02-01

Full Text Available The measurement of piezoelectric coefficient d33 is made using devices like the Berlincourt Meter ®, based on a force generator internally calibrated by a reference piezoelectric element which measures the charge ratio Culomb/Newton. For estructures such as piezoelectric composites, formed by materials of very different elastic properties, the measurements made by the described system present a great dispersión which depends on both the size of the pressing head and the aplied arm pressure. This work presents a set of systematic measurements of d33 for several piezocomposite geometries by means of optical interferometry. These measurements are compared with those obtained with the Berlincourt. It is observed that both techniques render closer results as the net step is reduced.La medida del coeficiente piezoeléctrico d33 se realiza utilizando equipos como el Berlincourt Meter ®, basados en un generador de fuerza calibrado internamente por un elemento piezoeléctrico de referencia que mide la relación de carga, Culombio/ Newton. Estos sistemas están absolutamente contrastados, tomando los grupos de investigación sus medidas como estándar. En el caso de estructuras tales como los composites piezoeléctricos, en los que la estructura está formada por materiales de muy distinta elasticidad, bien por este hecho, bien por la misma estructura, las medidas con el sistema descrito presentan una gran dispersión dependiendo del tamaño de la cabeza presionante y la presión del brazo. Dado que en el modelado de resonadores piezocomposite para su uso en aplicaciones con acoplamiento en aire es necesario conocer dicho parámetro sin incertidumbre, se presentan en el trabajo una serie de medidas sistemáticas de dicho coeficiente para varias geometrías de piezocomposites utilizando interferometría óptica. Se relaciona así mismo estas medidas con el resultado obtenido con el equipo estándar antes referido observando como cuanto más pequeño es

La recolección de la información fue realizada por 12 estudiantes de sexto semestre de fisioterapia previamente entrenados entre Agosto y Octubre de 2008. Las variables evaluadas fueron sexo, edad, principal patología y los aspectos relacionados con la CIF, como sigue: Funciones corporales, Estructuras corporales, Actividades y participación y Factores ambientales.  Resultados: La muestra estuvo conformada principalmente por hombres (57,1%,  el 82% se encontraba entre los 55 y 94 años y la patología más frecuente fue la hipertensión arterial (29,6%. En las funciones corporales, las más comprometidas corresponden a las relacionadas con la movilidad (38,7% y fuerza (34,7%. Las estructuras corporales de la región pélvica y los miembros inferiores fueron las más afectadas, ambas con el 34,8%.  En actividades y participación se presentó mayor compromiso en el uso fino de la mano (66,8%. El principal facilitador ambiental corresponde a los productos y tecnologías para la movilidad (81,8% y la principal barrera ambiental la constituye la infraestructura física de la institución (50,9%. Conclusiones: La función corporal más afectada fue la movilidad, lo cual puede explicarse por el mayor compromiso que presentan la pelvis y los miembros inferiores.  Este problema se sobrelleva con la utilización de los principales facilitadores encontrados, pero su uso se ve entorpecido por la infraestructura física de la institución, que se constituye en la principal barrera detectada por la población.

Creating corporate advantage.

Science.gov (United States)

Collis, D J; Montgomery, C A

1998-01-01

What differentiates truly great corporate strategies from the merely adequate? How can executives at the corporate level create tangible advantage for their businesses that makes the whole more than the sum of the parts? This article presents a comprehensive framework for value creation in the multibusiness company. It addresses the most fundamental questions of corporate strategy: What businesses should a company be in? How should it coordinate activities across businesses? What role should the corporate office play? How should the corporation measure and control performance? Through detailed case studies of Tyco International, Sharp, the Newell Company, and Saatchi and Saatchi, the authors demonstrate that the answers to all those questions are driven largely by the nature of a company's special resources--its assets, skills, and capabilities. These range along a continuum from the highly specialized at one end to the very general at the other. A corporation's location on the continuum constrains the set of businesses it should compete in and limits its choices about the design of its organization. Applying the framework, the authors point out the common mistakes that result from misaligned corporate strategies. Companies mistakenly enter businesses based on similarities in products rather than the resources that contribute to competitive advantage in each business. Instead of tailoring organizational structures and systems to the needs of a particular strategy, they create plain-vanilla corporate offices and infrastructures. The company examples demonstrate that one size does not fit all. One can find great corporate strategies all along the continuum.

A amostra foi composta por 14 voluntárias atendidas pelo Ambulatório de Transtornos Alimentares da Universidade Estadual de Campinas. O Software de Avaliação Perceptiva foi utilizado para avaliar a insatisfação com o corpo. A preocupação com o corpo, checagem e evitação corporal foram avaliadas pelo Body Shape Questionnaire, Body Checking Questionnaire e Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire, respectivamente. A análise descritiva e as correlações entre as medidas mostraram elevados níveis de insatisfação, checagem, evitação e preocupação com o corpo, com associações significantes. Estes achados evidenciaram a importância dos parâmetros investigados na dinâmica dos transtornos alimentares. Conhecer esses componentes da imagem corporal favorece a ampliação das possibilidades de melhor compreender como se organiza a representação mental do corpo dessas pacientes e planejar mais cuidadosamente as intervenções no decurso do tratamento.

Full Text Available In decades, various organizations worldwide engaged with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR in order to show their corporate commitments and responsibilities towards societies at large. These commitments and responsibilities are coming from monetary and non-monetary resources for example cash, equipment’s and human resources whom are used for social purposes and activities that leads to a betterment of society and also to improved organization reputation. However, in today’s knowledge and innovation led economy, organizations can no longer affords to get involve in charity and community services merely to fulfil social return without having any sort of economic payoffs. This situation warrants organizations moving beyond CSR to Corporate Social Innovation. This paper explores conceptual understanding between CSR and Corporate Social Innovation. CSR is a traditional philanthropy and old paradigm which is somewhat no longer sufficient in coping with current economic situation. Hence, this paper provides an insight and suggests that corporate social innovation as an emergence new paradigm that perhaps could provide a comprehensive representation in the era of knowledge and innovation led economy that will leads to real change in improving the well-being of people’s life, enhance economic and technological growth. Furthermore, this paper also highlighted knowledge resource is the most significant resource of Corporate Social Innovation.

Full Text Available Corporations are at present operating in demanding and highly unsure periods, facing a mixture of increased macroeconomic need, competitive and capital market dangers, and in many cases, the prospect for significant technical and regulative gap. Throughout these demanding and highly unsure times, the corporations must pay particular attention to corporate strategy. In present times, corporate strategy must be perceived and used as a function of various fields, covers, and characters as well as a highly interactive system. For the corporation's strategy to become a competitive advantage is necessary to understand and also to integrate it in a holistic model to ensure sustainable progress of corporation activities under the optimum conditions of profitability. The model proposed in this paper is aimed at integrating the two strategic models, Hoshin Kanri and Integrated Strategy Model, as well as their consolidation with the principles of sound corporate governance set out by the OECD.

Corporate governance and corporate social responsibility: A typology of OECD countries

Patricia Crifo

2016-06-01

Full Text Available This article investigates the relationships between corporate governance and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR. The underlying intuition is that governance factors are major determinants of CSR policies and extra-financial performance. More precisely, we identify three main factors that determine the strength of CSR engagement at the firm level: the structure of equity ownership (identity of shareholders, the composition and structure of board of directors, and the regulatory framework on corporate governance and CSR. We show how evolutions regarding corporate governance over the three previous decades have paved the way and shaped the rise of CSR. In addition, we elaborate a typology of CSR and governance structures that characterize OECD countries depending on whether the CSR reporting regime is stringent versus non-stringent, and on whether the corporate governance model is based on the shareholder, stakeholder or hybrid regime.

Does Corporate Social Responsibility Shape the Relationship between Corporate Governance and Financial Performance?

Full Text Available The correlation between theoretical and empirical of corporate governance (CG and corporate financial performance (CFP is not there without controversy. This paper aims to determine the moderating effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR, on the relationship between corporate governance and corporate financial performance. The sample of this research are banking companies that are listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange between the period of 2010-2014, taken by using purposive sampling method. Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA analysis was used in this study. The results of this study indicate that corporate governance affects the company's financial performance positively. Aspects of corporate governance such as audit committees and number of board meetings have a positive relationship with financial performance, but there is no relationship from the aspect of independent board of commissioners. Furthermore, CSR can only strengthen the positive relationship between the number of board of commissioners’ meetings and the financial performance of the company. The frequency intensity of board of commissioners’ meetings can increasingly address corporate governance reforms by improving and realizing social responsibility as part of sustainability innovation by optimizing media and CSR reporting methods.

Pediatricians differ on the optimal ways to discipline children. The major controversy surrounds the use of corporal punishment. In an effort to resolve this controversy, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) cosponsored a conference entitled "The Short and Long-Term Consequences of Corporal Punishment" in February 1996. This article reviews scientific literature on corporal punishment and summarizes the proceedings from the conference. The authors conclude that, although the research data are inadequate to resolve the controversy, there are areas of consensus. Practitioners should assess the spanking practices of the parent they see and counsel parents to avoid those that are, by AAP consensus, dangerous, ineffective, or abusive.

Medidas Sanitarias y Fitosanitarias, ¿Barreras al Comercio?: el Caso Peruano en el Asia-Pacífico

2016-01-01

Full Text Available Los aranceles han dejado de representar la principal barrera al comercio exterior, debido a la reducción constante de éstos en el ámbito multilateral o bilateral. Contrariamente, las medidas no arancelarias han ido en aumento, siendo la principal preocupación para las exportaciones mundiales. En este escenario, se presentan las medidas sanitarias y fitosanitarias, las cuales sirven para proteger la salud de las personas, animales y plantas en contra de riesgos asociados con enfermedades, pestes u otros; sin embargo, por la naturaleza de las mismas pueden distorsionar el comercio hasta ser utilizadas con fines proteccionistas en favor de las industrias nacionales de los países importadores. El presente artículo cuestiona si es que a pesar de contar con una serie de acuerdos comerciales internacionales, los cuales han disminuido progresivamente los aranceles, el Perú ha logrado un acceso real al mercado del Asia-Pacífico con productos agropecuarios y pesqueros. En ese sentido, se presentan casos históricos y pendientes en materia de acceso a mercados por medidas de carácter sanitario o fitosanitario, tal como el acceso de paltas a Japón. Asimismo, se analizan las disposiciones de los acuerdos comerciales en materia de medidas sanitarias y fitosanitarias y se presentan las potenciales oportunidades que se establecen en estos acuerdos, a fin de agilizar el acceso a mercados internacionales, y que no se han aprovechado.

Corporate Risk Disclosure and Corporate Governance

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

2009-12-01

Full Text Available To date, research which integrates corporate governance and risk management has been limited. Yet, risk exposure and management are increasingly becoming the core function of modern business enterprises in various sectors and industries domestically and globally. Risk identification and management are crucial in any business strategy design and implementation. From the investors’ point of view, knowledge of the risk profile, risk appetite and risk management are key elements in making sound portfolio investment decisions. This paper examines the relationships between corporate governance mechanisms and risk disclosure behavior using a sample of Canadian publicly-traded companies (TSX 230. Results show that Canadian public companies are more likely to disclose risk management information over and above the mandatory risk disclosures, if they are larger in size and if their boards of directors have more independent members. Minority voting control ownership structures appear to negatively impact risk disclosure and CEO incentive compensation shows mixed results. The paper concludes that more research is needed to further assess the impact of various governance mechanisms on corporate risk management and disclosure behavior.

Medida de la dureza de sólidos mediante nanoindentación

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Alkorta, J.

2005-10-01

Full Text Available Hardness is not readily measurable by means of instrumented indentation since the value of the contact area depends on the pile-up or sink-in occurring near the contact surface of the sample. The most widespread method to estimate it by means of the loading/unloading curve of indentation, Oliver and Pharr’s method, deviates, in the extreme cases, up to a 25% from the real values since it only takes into account the elastic deflection. In this work, a new correction based on Oliver and Pharr’s method is proposed that agrees with the numerical calculations. Plastic hardening behaviour of the sample must be known to accurately estimate the contact area.

La medida de la dureza mediante indentación con registro de carga y desplazamiento no es evidente, dada la incertidumbre sobre el tamaño de huella debido al levantamiento (pile-up o hundimiento (sink-in plásticos de la superficie de la muestra alrededor del indentador. El método más utilizado para la medida de la dureza mediante la curva de carga/descarga de indentación, el de Oliver y Pharr, sólo tiene en cuenta hundimiento elástico, por lo que el error en la medida de la dureza y el módulo de Young puede llegar hasta un 25% en los casos más extremos. En el presente trabajo se discute una posible corrección al método de Oliver y Pharr para una obtención más ajustada del área de contacto de la huella. Esta corrección requiere de un conocimiento a priori o a posteriori del comportamiento plástico del material.

Las investigaciones sobre esta clase de violencia en el ámbito internacional muestran, por un lado, que es una realidad existente en la universidad, de la misma forma que lo es en otros ámbitos sociales. Por otro lado, el análisis de las actuaciones implementadas por universidades de prestigio muestra la existencia de diferentes medidas para prevenirla y superarla. Estas evidencias, contrastadas con las percepciones de diferentes colectivos de la comunidad universitaria sobre la aplicabilidad de estas medidas en las universidades españolas, son el punto de partida para iniciar el desarrollo de medidas que erradiquen la violencia de género en nuestras universidades. In this article we present the findings from the research “Gender violence in Spanish universities”, the first study that analyses gender violence in the university context in Spain. Studies on gender violence at the international level show, on the one hand, that gender violence is a reality that exists in universities, in the same way that it exists in other social contexts. On the other hand, the analysis of the actions implemented in prestigious universities shows the existence of measures to prevent and overcome it. Contrasting these evidences with the perceptions of different university collectives about the applicability of these measures in Spanish universities is the starting point to develop measures to eradicate gender violence in our universities.

Medidas de protección del menor en los casos de violencia de género

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Francisca Ramón Fernández

2013-04-01

Full Text Available En el presente trabajo nos proponemos realizar un análisis de los distintos preceptos que contemplan las medidas de protección del menor en los casos de violencia de género, tanto en la legislación internacional, estatal y autonómica. El menor como sujeto, directo o indirecto, de la violencia sobre la mujer es protegido a través de una serie de medidas y reconocimiento de derechos, que es más amplio en una legislación que en otra de las estudiadas. Sería conveniente una uniformidad sobre esa protección al menor, ya que en la mayoría de las veces sufre esa violencia en el entorno familiar. La reflexión del análisis de los preceptos nos indica que es el interés superior del menor el que tiene que prevalecer en todas las situaciones, y que, en muchas ocasiones, la legislación no dota de suficientes medidas de protección al menor que se encuentra en una situación de violencia doméstica.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE AND CORPORATE DIVERSIFICATION: EVIDENCE FROM THE MALAYSIAN LISTED COMPANIES

Ayoib Che Ahmad

2003-01-01

Full Text Available Previous research has contributed much to our understanding of the relationship between corporate diversification strategy and corporate governance quality. The majority of published works has been on sophisticated and mature markets in first world nations. This paper extends previous knowledge by examining this relationship in a developing country. Malaysia is a developing country that provides a rich setting for corporate governance research. The structure of the business environment and the availability of published data make it an interesting research site.The results showed that outside blockholding especially non-institutional blockholding was negatively associated with diversification. However, evidence of significant relationship between managerial ownership and diversification was not found although the directions were generally as expected. Similarly, good corporate governance was shown to reduce diversification activities. The variable for separate board structure was consistently significant in most of the estimations. However, the other measure of corporate governance namely the proportion of outside directors was not as significant as might be expected. The study opens the way for a richer understanding of the links between corporate governance, ownership structure and corporate diversification in a developing country.

Full Text Available With an estimated workforce of 285 million and the establishment of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN Economic Community in 2015, ASEAN faces vast challenges in human resource development (HRD and higher education. These challenges in Thailand have resulted in the rise of corporate universities and corporation-university partnerships. Corporate partnerships in education adapt quickly to industry needs and are increasingly popular and complimentary to traditional higher education. This research looks at one corporate university and one corporation-university partnership to investigate how, if at all, corporate universities and partnerships address HRD issues such as adult learning, leadership development, organisational change, corporate social responsibility (CSR, as well as ethical and global issues. This research finds initial evidence that corporate educational strategies address a variety of HRD issues and have the potential to revolutionise and compliment higher education in Thailand in a way that drives the nation toward a more sustainable future.

From Corporate Social Responsibility to Corporate Sustainability: Features of Financing Sustainable Development

Full Text Available The theoretical basis of the concepts of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development are studied. It is revealed that scientists mainly distinguish two main stages in the evolution of the concept of corporate social responsibility. There argued the expediency of singling out the third stage of the development of the concept (version CSR 2.0, which is characterized by the integration of the theoretical and practical foundations of the concepts of CSR and sustainable development as well as by their implementation into activities of corporations. The presence of the necessary prerequisites for singling out the new stage in the evolution of these concepts (version CSR 3.0, which is based on the provisions of the collaborative theory and provides for the cooperation of social enterprises and sustainable corporations in achieving the goals of sustainable development, is revealed, its expediency is justified. The determinant of the stage is the use of opportunities for sustainable development, the dominant is the social orientation, and its content is characterized by the slogan “doing common good to do common well”. Using generalization, there identified the features of the established models of sustainable development of corporations by key aspects (goals, principles, methods. On this basis, the features of approaches to financing sustainable development at the macro and micro levels are determined, and the principles for financing the activities of corporations in the new conditions are defined. It is concluded that achieving sustainability requires an effective system of financing corporate measures aimed at sustainable development, for the creation of which in Ukraine it is necessary to use the experience of “best practices” at the national, local and corporate levels.

Full Text Available Corporate governance is a key element of today’s economic reality being more and more present in many countries around the world. This paper has two main objectives. The first one is to offer more insight into the concept of corporate governance by a thorough literature review and by presenting and analyzing a framework of corporate governance. The second objective of this paper is to investigate the corporate governance situation in three developing economies (Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. The World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development published a series of reports on corporate governance. The present study uses data from these reports in order to illustrate how these developing economies are dealing with corporate governance. Based on ROSC Reports a corporate governance score was calculated. As this score shows, there is room for improvement for all three developing economies. This study is important because it shows the differences in corporate governance among developing economies and the need to study these nations at the individual country level. Corporate governance has many benefits for developing economies. It helps developing economies to register sustainable growth rates, to increases investors’ confidence in the national economy, and to increase the ability of capital markets to mobilize savings.

Impacts of Socially Responsible Corporate Activities on Korean Consumers’ Corporate Evaluations in the Agrifood Industry

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Dongmin Lee

2016-12-01

Full Text Available The variety of socially responsible corporate activities employed in the agrifood industry has been broadening. An increasing number of agrifood companies have been employing strategic approaches to socially responsible activities, reinforced by Porter and Kramer’s concept of creating shared value (CSV. This study compares the effects on corporate evaluations of two socially responsible corporate activities: philanthropic giving and CSV. Because prior studies concerning the effects of corporate prosocial behaviors on consumer responses have yielded mixed results, the present study examines the effects of a priori perceptions of companies by using corporate stereotypes as moderators. The results show that the type of socially responsible corporate activity (CSV vs. philanthropic giving does not influence corporate evaluations. However, in cases of CSV (vs. philanthropic giving, consumers evaluate an unwarm but competent company more attractively and place higher value on an incompetent but warm company. This research is important not only for enriching existing literature, but also for providing guidelines to practitioners with respect to selecting appropriate corporate initiatives based on perceived consumer stereotypes.

Corporate Taxation and Investment: The Case of the Split Rate Corporate Tax System in Macedonia

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Ilija Gruevski

2018-12-01

Full Text Available The majority of experts agree that taxes are distortionary in nature. This is relatively true for all of the different groups of taxes, but for the corporate taxes is exceptionallyobvious. The existence of the corporate tax system can affect the company’s behavior in number of ways and one of the most criticized is the ability for distortion of the choice of the sources of finance. In the following article, we explore the effects from corporate taxation on investment, through the methodological frame of the effective marginal tax rates. The objective is to analyze the investment decision in the case of isolated implementation of corporate taxes which means that the effects from the so-called “double taxation”, induced by the personal taxes are not taken in consideration. We hope to prove that these conditions generate “uneven” distribution of the burden across the projects covered with different sources of finance. Also, we intend to test and explore the properties of some alternative corporate tax systems which are widely known as neutral, such as: the comprehensive business income tax system (CBIT, the imputation corporate tax system (ICT, the full imputation corporate tax system (FICT, the allowance for corporate equity tax system (ACE and the split rate corporate tax system (SRCT. In addition, we support our findings with a practical example: the case study from the implementation of the split rate corporate tax system in Macedonia.

Full Text Available En este documento se elaboran y evalúan medidas alternativas de núcleo inflacionario para Costa Rica. La idea fundamental contempla al núcleo inflacionario como un indicador de la tendencia subyacente de la inflación capaz de capturar el componente del cambio total de precios común a todos los bienes y servicios, cuya persistencia se mantendría en el mediano y largo plazo y que excluye los cambios en los precios relativos de estos. La medida de núcleo inflacionario seleccionada se contrasta con el Índice de Núcleo Inflacionario (INI, indicador de inflación subyacente actualmente utilizado por el Banco Central de Costa Rica (BCCR.El Índice Subyacente de Inflación (ISI, definido como una medida de núcleo inflacionario que excluye un 30,7% del peso total del Índice de Precios al Consumidor (IPC, refleja más fielmente la tendencia subyacente de la inflación y logra capturar el movimiento más permanente del nivel general de precios, aislando las variaciones en precios relativos. Además, el ISI es fácil de calcular e interpretar lo cual ayuda a incrementar la transparencia y credibilidad de la política monetaria. También es un indicador oportuno, aumentando su valor para los que formulan la política monetaria. Por último, el ISI supera algunas de las limitaciones del INI, como son la falta de un criterio estadístico para definir el punto de corte de los bienes y servicios a excluir y el alto porcentaje del peso total del IPC eliminado. AbstractThis paper builds and evaluates several alternative measures of core inflation for Costa Rica. The chosen measure of core inflation is contrasted with the core inflation index (INI, which is the indicator of underlying inflation used today by the Central Bank of Costa Rica (BCCR.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING AND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: RESULTS OF AN EMPIRICAL STUDY

Full Text Available Corporate Volunteering (CV is a phenomenon that emerged in the second half of the 20th century and began to grow and globalize at the beginning of the 21st century. There seems to be a consensus that the recent growth of Corporate Volunteering is related to the development and growing legitimacy of the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR. Nevertheless, the theoretical discussion on how the two concepts (Corporate Volunteering and Corporate Social Responsibility are related is just beginning, while empirical research on how this relationship operates in corporate practice is still incipient. This paper presents preliminary results of a research on this subject carried out in Uruguay in 2016. This is a statistical study that analyses the relationship between the application of corporate volunteering activities and the incorporation of a CSR approach to the management of companies. The incorporation of both types of practices is measured by a self-assessment questionnaire that includes 81 indicators (using a Likert scale to assess them, which were designed based on ISO 26000 Guidance of Social Responsibility. The questionnaire was administered to 96 companies, using a comparative analysis between those that practice Corporate Volunteering and those which do not. The results obtained allow us to support the hypothesis that the application of Corporate Volunteering is positively associated with the incorporation of CSR when managing the relationship between the company and its employees and also with the community. Moreover, these results contribute to a better understanding on how both concepts are related.

Sujetos a una disciplina que disciplina. Un análisis crítico de las prácticas de gimnasia dominantes en el gimnasio

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Cecilia Bettina Crespo

2013-06-01

Full Text Available Las prácticas de gimnasia en los gimnasios proponen/imponen, normalizan y naturalizan determinadas relaciones de poder/saber entre sus adeptos que, a partir de ellas, disciplinan y corrigen sus cuerpos pero no por ello necesariamente se hacen más libres y sapientes de sus prácticas y discursos corporales, de lo que hacen con sus propios cuerpos o de lo que piensan, sienten o dicen acerca de ellos. Cuando el poder se transforma en dominación, la educación corporal generada no permite resistencias ni cuestionamientos y lo que se adquiere no se transforma en herramienta crítica para gobernar las próximas elecciones corporales cotidianas. En este artículo se analizan, en primer lugar, algunos términos pertenecientes a Michel Foucault tales como sujeto, discurso, práctica, poder, dominación y disciplina; en segundo lugar, se examina el concepto de educación aportado por Inés Dussel y Marcelo Carusso. Por último se utilizarán todas estas aproximaciones conceptuales a modo de herramientas teóricas para establecer algunas conclusiones iniciales y provisorias que permitan la dinámica de algunas clases colectivas de gimnasia de un gimnasio de la ciudad de la Plata, en las cuales se recabaron datos empíricos con observación participante. Este trabajo forma parte de los estudios iniciales pertenecientes al proyecto de tesis perteneciente a la Maestría en Educación Corporal: “La gimnasia en los gimnasios, ni educación, ni física"

OBJETIVO: Comparar e avaliar a correlação entre os níveis de PA obtidos por meio da automedida da pressão arterial (AMPA com a medida casual e com a monitorização ambulatorial da pressão arterial (MAPA. MÉTODOS: Avaliamos hipertensos que realizaram as três metodologias de medida da PA com intervalo menor que 30 dias; as médias das pressões foram utilizadas para comparação e correlação. Foram empregados os aparelhos: OMRON 705 CP (medida casual, OMRON HEM 714 (AMPA e SPACELABS 9002 (MAPA. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 32 pacientes, 50,09% mulheres, idade média 59,7 (± 11,2 anos, média do IMC 26,04 (± 3,3 kg/m². Valores médios de pressão sistólica (PAS e pressão diastólica (PAD para a AMPA foram de 134 (± 15,71mmHg e 79,32 (± 12,38 mmHg. Na medida casual as médias da PAS e PAD foram, respectivamente, 140,84 (± 16,15mmHg e 85 (± 9,68 mmHg. Os valores médios da MAPA na vigília foram 130,47 (± 13,26 mmHg e 79,84 (± 9,82 mmHg para PAS e PAD, respectivamente. Na análise comparativa, a AMPA apresentou valores semelhantes aos da MAPA (p > 0,05 e diferentes da medida casual (p < 0,05. Na análise de correlação a AMPA foi superior à medida casual, considerando a MAPA como o padrão de referência nas medidas tensionais. CONCLUSÃO: A AMPA apresentou melhor comparação com a MAPA do que a medida casual e também se correlacionou melhor com a aquela, especialmente para a pressão diastólica, devendo ser considerada uma alternativa com baixo custo para o acompanhamento do paciente hipertenso.

Convencidos de que es fundamental identificar los factores de riesgo que conducen a tales situaciones iniciamos nuevas vías de investigación con tal propósito. En este sentido, la autopercepción de la propia imagen, así como el grado de satisfacción que el adolescente manifiesta en relación a su aspecto y morfofisiología pueden ser un determinante del riesgo a desarrollar comportamientos alimentarios inadecuados que, finalmente, desemboquen en trastornos como la anorexia o la bulimia. Con este fin, se recogió, en Institutos de Enseñanza Secundaria de Madrid, una muestra de jóvenes entre 12-16 años, período de especial sensibilidad ante la influencia de patrones comportamentales trasmitidos por los medios de comunicación.

2017-03-01

Full Text Available Corporate governance is a process, relation and mechanism set up for the corporations and firms based on certain guidelines and principles by which a company is controlled and directed. The principles provided in the system ensure that the company is governed in a way that it is able to set and achieve its goals and objectives in the context of the social, regulatory and market environment, and is able to maximize profits and also benefit those whose interest is involved in it, in the long run. The division and distribution of rights and responsibilities among different participants in the corporation (such as the board of directors, managers, shareholders, creditors, auditors, regulators, and other stakeholders and inclusion of the rules and procedures for making decisions in corporate affairs are identified with the help of Corporate Governance mechanism and guidelines. The need to make corporate governance in India transparent was felt after the high profile corporate governance failure scams like the stock market scam, the UTI scam, Ketan Parikh scam, Satyam scam, which were severely criticized by the shareholders. Thus, Corporate Governance is not just company administration but more than that and includes monitoring the actions, policies, practices, and decisions of corporations, their agents, and affected stakeholders thereby ensuring fair, efficient and transparent functioning of the corporate management system. By this paper, the authors intend to examine the concept of corporate governance in India with regard to the provisions of corporate governance under the Companies Act 2013. The paper will highlight the importance and need of corporate governance in India. We will also discuss the important case laws which contributed immensely in the emergence of corporate governance in India.

Role of the Occupational Physician in Corporate Management of Health Risks: An Important Aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

Science.gov (United States)

Sugita, Minoru; Miyakawa, Michiko

2016-01-01

There are various risks involved in corporate activities conducted both within and outside the corporation. Among these, health risks are very important and should be managed effectively as an integral part of corporate social responsibility (CSR). A corporation is responsible for health impairments caused by its activities and suffers great moral and economic loss when they occur. It is essential that corporate management takes proper preventive measures against such risks. Occupational physicians possess substantial knowledge of health risks in corporations. In this study, we examine the role of occupational physicians in the management of corporate health risks. Information was obtained from articles in print and on the Internet. Health risks due to corporate activities involve not only the employees of the corporation but also individuals outside the corporation. Each corporation should effectively use available resources to manage health risks. Occupational physicians are one such valuable resource. However, many corporations do not actively involve occupational physicians in health risk management. According to a current Japanese law, health risks for employees in corporations are managed by occupational physicians, but in general, health risks outside corporations are not. The 1984 Bhopal Disaster in India is an example in which physicians of the corporation were only minimally, if at all, involved in assessing and treating impaired health outside the corporation. The role of occupational physicians should be expanded to include management of health risks outside the corporation. This places a greater burden on the physicians and they must make the effort to train in many academic fields in order to better understand the entire context of health risks due to corporate activities. Some occupational physicians may be hesitant to take on such added responsibilities. Some corporations may not recognize the overall health risks due to its activities and do not

Corporate contestability and corporate expropriation

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Abdul Hadi Zulkafli

2016-12-01

Full Text Available This paper presents evidence on the role of ownership in dealing with corporate expropriation of listed companies in Malaysia. From the perspective of expropriation, a single controlling shareholder is always associated with such behavior due to their power and control at the expense of minority shareholder. However, subsequent individual or coalition of large shareholders can be an important corporate governance tool by providing effective monitoring that would lessen the possibility of expropriation by the controlling shareholder. Relating to that, this study evaluates the role of controlling and large shareholders in dealing with corporate expropriation. It is found that there is a negative relationship between single controlling shareholders and dividend payout ratio indicating that firms with only controlling shareholder will pay a lower dividend due to possible expropriation through profit diversion by controlling shareholder. Using Herfindahl Index as a proxy for ownership contestability, the presence of large shareholders along with controlling shareholder has a positive relationship with dividend payout implying that increased contestability helps to curb the power of controlling shareholder to expropriate fund for their own benefit. In accordance with agency theory, the outcome suggests that large shareholders play a monitoring role in minimizing the Type II agency problem. It is also verifying the argument made based on the Catering Theory of Dividend that the presence of large shareholder brings benefit to all shareholders as they are able to reduce profit diversion by demanding for higher dividend

Corporate Governance Quality, Board Gender Diversity and Corporate Dividend Policy: Evidence from Jordan

Full Text Available This paper examines the impact of corporate governance quality and board gender diversity on the corporate dividend policy for a set of all non-financial companies listed on Amman Stock Exchange (ASE during the period 2009-2015. The results documented that corporate governance quality and board gender diversity proxies have positive impact on corporate dividend policy. The results also showed that the women representation on the boards of non-financial companies in Jordan is considered low relative to other countries. Particularly, the causes of the poor board gender diversity in Jordan range from lack of awareness about the benefits of gender diversity to the lack of legislation that regulates this issue. It is recommended to non-financial companies in Jordan to boost their compliance with the corporate governance code and adopt diversity policies to enhance the effectiveness of the boards and keep favorable relationships with their shareholders. Furthermore, regulatory bodies in Jordan should take a step towards encouraging gender diversity on boards.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY – CORPORATE BRANDING RELATIONSHIP: AN EMPIRICAL COMPARATIVE STUDY

2009-01-01

Full Text Available Current academic research on the relationship of firms’ CSR activities with corporate branding typically focuses on consumers’ and shareholders’ viewpoints. This research aims to shed light on how organisational members in firms perceive to be the impact of CSR activities upon their corporate brand strategy. Using a survey administered to companies in the U.K. and Bulgaria, the author investigate, firstly, organisational members’ perceptions of the impact of different CSR-related activities upon corporate branding and, secondly, their beliefs about what customers and shareholders think are the impacts of CSR-related activities upon brand image and brand identity. The findings indicated that while organisational members rated quality products, customer service and corporate governance highly as key components of CSR activity, they were much more ambivalent about their companies'commitment to broader actions which involve the 'community' and 'society'. This paper concludes by discussing the implications of the findings for future 'CSR education' among companies.

Corporate crime: Criminological and cultural aspects

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Keković Zoran

2011-01-01

Full Text Available The process of economic transition in Serbia has highlighted the problem of socially responsible behavior of corporations and especially the growing phenomenon of corporate crime. The consequences of corporate wrongdoing are almost everywhere and cannot be overseen. The most tremendous ones are those related to human casualties, environmental disasters, long-term negative health effects and great material budget losses on local and state levels. The fact that corporations are profiting from criminal activity which causes enormous damage to society and individuals makes public policy makers face the ultimate choice - either to devise new effective measures for reducing and controlling this phenomenon or to retain the standard model of crime control, in accordance with the principles of classical criminal law. The first choice would require one of the pillars of criminal law - the principle of individual and subjective guilt of physical persons as the exclusive grounds for imposing criminal liability - to be either modified and widened in order to be used as a base for imposing corporate criminal liability or partially changed by new criminal law categories which would introduce different grounds for imposing criminal liability on an organization. The second choice would require the decision-makers to refuse to change old and well-established principles. The criminal reality, however, has made most legislatures in Europe and around the world choose the first option and introduce different forms of corporate criminal liability. Serbian criminal legislation has been headed in the same direction since 2008, when it was changed in order to enable the imposing of liability for criminal acts on corporations. However, although corporate criminal liability is becoming the European legislative standard, one question remains - Is this the only measure of criminal politics which can be used as a means of reducing and preventing corporate crime?

Discourses and Inter-Corporeity

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Algis Mickūnas

2015-10-01

Full Text Available Contemporary European theories have focused attention on corporeity, its surface excitations and passions, and even on politically constructed bodies – how do men and women “carry their bodies”. The great variety of such claims suggests transformations in theoretical thinking, yet such changes were already articulated at another level by phenomenological studies: kinesthetic body. It is obvious that to speak of corporeity is possible only on the basis of analyses of corporeal movements. Thus, the aim of this essay is to disclose the structures of bodily movements, constituting the basis of primordial awareness – not “I think” but “I can”. In the essay there are presented a number of theses of post modernists who have not developed adequate analyses of corporeal movements.

De modo específico o estudo busca investigar a percepção dos gestores quanto à importância atribuída às medidas de desempenho tradicionais e não tradicionais e aos recursos estratégicos de capital humano, estrutural e físico em empresas brasileiras. O estudo pauta-se na pesquisa realizada por Widener (2006 em empresas norte americanas. Assim, um levantamento foi realizado junto aos gestores das empresas listadas na BM&FBovespa nos níveis 1 e 2 de Governança Corporativa. Na análise dos dados foi aplicada estatística descritiva e análise fatorial. Os resultados mostram que os gestores atribuem importância a várias medidas de desempenho, mas a estatística descritiva evidencia que a maior importância é atribuída às medidas de retorno e financeiras tradicionais. Dentre os recursos estratégicos, o capital humano desponta como o recurso mais importante para as empresas analisadas, seguido do capital estrutural e do capital físico. A partir das relações estabelecidas na pesquisa de base e aplicadas neste estudo, conclui-se que as medidas de desempenho são variáveis mediadoras entre a importância dos recursos estratégicos e o desempenho na percepção dos gestores.

The Conceptual Review of Interaction between Corporate Wisdom and Corporate Entrepreneurship

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Metehan ORTKARPUZ

2017-12-01

Full Text Available Wisdom is an important point of view in the literature as the highest desired attainment of knowledge management and a new goal. Wisdom is a mysterious concept existing at the top of the hierarchy of data, information, and knowledge that occurs by the evolving of knowledge with experience and thought. This concept constitutes institutional wisdom when dealt with on an institutional basis. Today's competition conditions move corporate wisdom understanding on the agenda due to the insufficiency of traditional knowledge management approach towards sustainable targets and keeping the business vulnerable to rapidly changing conditions. Entrepreneurship is one of the most popular phenomena influenced by the developments in knowledge management. Entrepreneurship necessitates the creation of value by seeing opportunities, reaching different information before others, and using it differently from others, thereby becoming a member of the information society. Entrepreneurship processes aiming to create value through transformation and innovation studies in an existing organization are called "corporate entrepreneurship". Corporate entrepreneurship is a capability that enables businesses to gain competitive advantage through conscious efforts which actuate internal and external initiatives against changing conditions and uncertainties. It is thought that the factors of corporate wisdom understanding are interacting with elements of corporate entrepreneurship. In this study, a conceptual review is carried out in order to reveal the mentioned interaction, to take all dimensions of the elements which the concepts are based on.

Full Text Available RESUMO Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar, por meio de simulações hidrológicas e hidráulicas, o desempenho de algumas medidas de controle de inundação, estruturais e não estruturais. Para tanto, os mapas e demais informações espaciais da bacia hidrográfica do Córrego do Gregório, em São Carlos (SP, foram digitalizadas com auxílio do software de geoprocessamento ArcGIS(r e imagens de satélite de alta resolução. Com base nessas informações, foram propostos cenários alternativos que incorporaram as medidas de controle. Através da utilização dos softwares HEC-HMS e HEC-RAS realizaram-se as modelações hidráulicas e hidrológicas, utilizando tempos de retorno de 25, 50 e 100 anos para a chuva de projeto. Com os resultados obtidos (hidrogramas de cheia e manchas de inundação referentes a cada tempo de retorno, foi possível analisar as medidas, comparando-se os diferentes cenários. Concluiu-se, para este caso, que os melhores resultados correspondem à associação das medidas estruturais e não estruturais. Contudo, também foi verificado que, mesmo com a concretização do cenário mais favorável, o problema das inundações não seria satisfatoriamente equacionado, o que revela a necessidade de se considerar outras medidas para minimizar os prejuízos decorrentes das inundações, tais como medidas de controle na fonte, seguros contra inundações e sistemas de alerta antecipados.

Na coleta de dados utilizou-se uma fita métrica para as medidas antropométricas de circunferência, uma balança da marca Filizola para a aferição do peso e um adipômetro da marca Cescorf para a medida da espessura das dobras cutâneas utilizadas na estimativa da composição corporal. As médias obtidas no pré e no pós-teste dos grupos foram comparadas pelo teste “t” de student a um nível de significância de 5% (p < ou =0,05. Analisando os resultados obtidos na comparação do pós-teste entre o grupo 1 e o grupo 2, pode-se concluir que não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas, porém, o grupo 2, com base no modelo de treinamento não-linear de musculação, obteve um aumento estatisticamente significativo na massa corporal magra, na comparação entre o seu pré e pós-teste, levando a crer que a estruturação dos mesociclos utilizando esse modelo seja uma forma eficaz e segura para a sua aplicação no treinamento de força visando a hipertrofia muscular.

Corporate accountability and transitional justice

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Sabine Michalowski

2015-10-01

Full Text Available Traditionally, transitional justice processes do not address the role of corporations in dictatorships or in armed conflicts that give rise to the need for dealing with grave and systematic human rights violations. However, there is a growing awareness that in many contexts corporations contribute to these violations, often in the form of corporate complicity with the principal violators. An argument can therefore be made that to achieve the aims of transitional justice and establish a holistic narrative of the past as well as obtain justice and reparations for victims requires investigating and addressing the role of corporate actors. This article uses the example of Colombia’s Justice and Peace process to show some of the complexities, opportunities and challenges that arise if transitional justice measures focus primarily on criminal law and create a specific legal framework, outside of the ordinary justice systems, only for a limited group of primary perpetrators, in the Colombian case for members of the armed groups who demobilised. It is argued that the exclusion of corporate actors in contexts where their role is regarded as significant leads to victims seeking alternatives ways to obtain justice and that both victims and corporations would benefit if transitional justice mechanisms addressed the role of corporations.

Corporate moral responsibility in health care.

Science.gov (United States)

Wilmot, S

2000-01-01

The question of corporate moral responsibility--of whether it makes sense to hold an organisation corporately morally responsible for its actions, rather than holding responsible the individuals who contributed to that action--has been debated over a number of years in the business ethics literature. However, it has had little attention in the world of health care ethics. Health care in the United Kingdom (UK) is becoming an increasingly corporate responsibility, so the issue is increasingly relevant in the health care context, and it is worth considering whether the specific nature of health care raises special questions around corporate moral responsibility. For instance, corporate responsibility has usually been considered in the context of private corporations, and the organisations of health care in the UK are mainly state bodies. However, there is enough similarity in relevant respects between state organisations and private corporations, for the question of corporate responsibility to be equally applicable. Also, health care is characterised by professions with their own systems of ethical regulation. However, this feature does not seriously diminish the importance of the corporate responsibility issue, and the importance of the latter is enhanced by recent developments. But there is one major area of difference. Health care, as an activity with an intrinsically moral goal, differs importantly from commercial activities that are essentially amoral, in that it narrows the range of opportunities for corporate wrongdoing, and also makes such organisations more difficult to punish.

Motives of corporate political donations: industry regulation, subjective judgement and the origins of pragmatic and ideological corporations.

Science.gov (United States)

Harrigan, Nicholas M

2017-12-01

What motivates corporate political action? Are corporations motivated by their own narrow economic self-interest; are they committed to pursuing larger class interests; or are corporations instruments for status groups to pursue their own agendas? Sociologists have been divided over this question for much of the last century. This paper introduces a novel case - that of Australia - and an extensive dataset of over 1,500 corporations and 7,500 directors. The paper attempts to understand the motives of corporate political action by examining patterns of corporate political donations. Using statistical modelling, supported by qualitative evidence, the paper argues that, in the Australian case, corporate political action is largely motivated by the narrow economic self-interest of individual corporations. Firms' interests are, consistent with regulatory environment theory, defined by the nature of government regulation in their industry: those in highly regulated industries (such as banking) and those dependent on government support (such as defence) tend to adopt a strategy of hedging their political support, and make bipartisan donations (to both major parties). In contrast, firms facing hostile regulation (such as timber or mining), and those without strong dependence on state support (such as small companies) tend to adopt a strategy of conservative partisanship, and make conservative-only donations. This paper argues that regulatory environment theory needs to be modified to incorporate greater emphasis on the subjective political judgements of corporations facing hostile regulation: a corporation's adoption of conservative partisanship or hedging is not just a product of the objective regulation they face, but also whether corporate leaders judge such regulation as politically inevitable or something that can be resisted. Such a judgement is highly subjective, introducing a dynamic and unpredictable dimension to corporate political action. © London School of

Full Text Available This study explores the relationship between spirituality in the corporate environment and corporate or organisational citizenship behaviour. The relationships amongst the sub-dimensions of workplace spirituality (meaningfulness of work, sense of community, alignment with organisational values and the sub-dimensions of corporate or organisational citizenship behaviour (altruism, conscientiousness, sportsmanship, courtesy, civic virtue are also examined. The extent to which the sub-dimensions of organisational citizenship behaviour predict workplace spirituality are analysed. The study was undertaken in a retail products outlet that focuses on quality and professionalism. The sample was drawn using cluster sampling and the adequacy of the sample was assessed using the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity. Data was collected using a closed-ended, established questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results reflect that the organisation is fairly high on workplace spirituality with the focus being on meaningfulness of work and, on corporate or organisational citizenship behaviour with altruism and civic virtue being its greatest strength. There is a significant relationship between spirituality in the corporate environment and corporate or organisational citizenship behaviour, with sportsmanship and civic virtue being strong predictors of workplace spirituality. The results therefore, display the dynamic relationship between spirituality in the corporate environment and corporate or organisational citizenship behaviour, which when nurtured has the potential to enhance both bottom-lines of profits and people as well as society as a whole

1992-06-01

This paper is based on, and summarises, papers read at the second annual international conference of Nurse Education Tomorrow held at the University of Durham (UK) September 1991. To this end this paper will offer: Some Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) definition and process as reflected in the literature available. A distinction will be made between APL and Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) although the procedures and processes for assessing them will be shown to be the same. A brief outline of corporate strategy, as it applies to APL, will be given to form the basis for logical demonstration of how Derbyshire Institute of Health and Community Studies has employed such a corporate strategy. Insights developed and gained from APL research currently being undertaken through the college of nursing and midwifery will be used to inform the development and nature of corporate strategy. A flowchart of the operationalisation of the corporate strategy is offered as an integrative summary of how all the APL ideas have had a positive cumulative effect. The paper finishes by highlighting the possible strengths and limitations of APL corporate strategy.

2014-10-01

Corporal punishment is used for discipline in most homes in the United States. It is also associated with a long list of adverse developmental, behavioral, and health-related consequences. Primary care providers, as trusted sources for parenting information, have an opportunity to engage parents in discussions about discipline as early as infancy. These discussions should focus on building parents' skills in the use of other behavioral techniques, limiting (or eliminating) the use of corporal punishment and identifying additional resources as needed.

MÉTODOS: Avaliaram-se 80 adolescentes de uma escola pública de Alfenas, Minas Gerais, com pelo menos 12 meses pós-menarca. As medidas antropométricas foram realizadas conforme procedimentos padronizados. A proporcionalidade corporal foi avaliada pelo Índice de Cormic. A população foi dividida em grupos de estudo (Índice de Cormic > mediana e controle (Índice de Cormic mediana, em comparação ao grupo controle (37,2%. Quanto aos indicadores de adiposidade global ou localizada, não foram observadas diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos. CONCLUSÃO: As diferenças na proporcionalidade corporal não se relacionaram com a estatura. Altos valores de Índice de Cormic parecem estar associados a elevado índice de massa corporal, mas não à composição corporal e à topografia da gordura corporal. Questiona-se, assim, a utilização exclusiva do índice de massa corporal para avaliação antropométrica em serviços de saúde, visto que pode gerar resultados inexatos em populações com comprometimento na proporcionalidade corporal.OBJECTIVE: To verify body proportion performance in pos-menarche adolescents and its influence in anthropometric assessment, emphasizing weight-height ratio. METHODS: Eighty adolescents from a public school in Alfenas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, were evaluated, with at least 12 months pos-menarche.

Utilizaram-se 41 cabritos, machos e fêmeas, de três grupos raciais (A - Alpino; ½ BA - ½ Boer + ½ Alpino; e ¾ BA - ¾ Boer + ¼ Alpino, avaliados aos 60, 90 e 120 dias em sistema de confinamento. As médias foram comparadas por análise de variância utilizando-se o teste Tukey. O desempenho não diferiu entre os grupos raciais. O escore corporal foi maior nos animais ¾ BA, o que pode representar vantagem econômica ao produtor se esses animais forem comercializados vivos. Com o avanço da idade, houve aumento do comprimento corporal, da altura anterior, da altura posterior, do perímetro torácico, do perímetro da perna, da largura da garupa e da largura do peito. Os machos foram superiores às fêmeas quanto às medidas biométricas e quanto ao peso ao nascimento, aos 60 e aos 90 dias. Os machos Alpinos foram mais pesados aos 120 dias e apresentaram, ainda, maior ganho de peso no intervalo dos 30 aos 60 dias. O menor custo de produção relativo à alimentação por quilograma de cabrito produzido foi observado aos 90 dias de idade.The objective of this trial was to evaluate performance (weight and weight gain, body measurements, feed conversion, and production costs of purebred (Alpine and crossbred [½ Boer + ½ Alpine (½ BA and ¾ Boer + ¼ Alpine (¾ BA] goat kids at different ages (60, 90 and 120 days.

Participaram 40 meninas, entre oito e 16 anos, vítimas de abuso sexual. As medidas de proteção adotadas pela rede foram mapeadas através de entrevista semi-estruturada. A revelação foi feita aos pais em 42,5% da amostra e 92,5% das pessoas acreditaram. O abrigamento ocorreu em 35% dos casos e o restante permaneceu com a família que afastou o agressor. A atitude de confiança da família na revelação e a denúncia da violência constituíram-se em um fator de proteção. Contudo, o alto índice de abrigamento e o não acompanhamento efetivo do afastamento do agressor representaram fatores de risco.

Corporate brand building from the corporate stories perspective: a Brazilian football teams study

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Edson Roberto Scharf

Full Text Available Abstract The study aims to investigate the content of corporate stories of the Brazilian’s football clubs and how these stories are used to build their corporate brands. The stories were collected from the corporate websites of football clubs in Brazil belonging to series A, B and C. A qualitative analysis of the corporate stories was carried on by means of content analysis of the corpus resulting from them. The results showed that emotion is a key element and is most strongly represented in the websites. The findings also revealed that although the clubs work with human talent, and positive results of the teams in the pitch are dependent on talent, this important aspect is practically forgotten on the websites. Academic and managerial implications, as well as limitations of the study are presented at the end.

Full Text Available The main purpose of this paper is to present the modern model of integrated corporate communication. Beside this, the authors will describe the changes occurring in the corporate environment and importance of changing the model of corporate communication. This paper also discusses the importance of implementation of the suggested model, the use of new media and effects of these changes on corporations. The approach used in this paper is the literature review. The authors explore the importance of implementation of the suggested model and the new media in corporate communication, both internal and external, addressing all the stakeholders and communication contents. The paper recommends implementation of a modern model of integrated corporate communication as a response to constant development of the new media and generation changes taking place. Practical implications: the modern model of integrated corporate communication can be used as an upgrade of the conventional communication models. This modern model empowers companies to sustain and build up the existing relationships with stakeholders, and to find out and create new relationships with stakeholders who were previously inaccessible and invisible.

The aim of our study was to broaden our understanding of the role of standards and codes of good corporate governance in improving governance practices.We found that not only formal regulations, standards, and governance codes, but also corporate governance indices-which make the assessment of companies’ governance practices possible-are important in measuring and improving governance quality. The results of the research based on the SEECGAN Index methodology indicated that mandatory requirements and voluntary recommendations of high governance standards had a positive impact on the corporate governance practice in Slovenia.

Measuring instruments of corporate reputation

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Damir Grgić

2008-12-01

Full Text Available The subject of this paper is focused on the instruments for the measurement of corporate reputation. Recent research of the elements which influence the success of a company shows a growing interest in intangible values. Corporate reputation itself has been identified as one of the key intangible assets which create the company’s added value. Understanding of the importance of corporate reputation has been determined as a significant component of the company’s competitiveness, that is, of its competitive edge. Reputation is a normal part of our life and an integral part of our society. Our interest in the honesty and integrity of others is firmly established in all cultures and nowadays the focus of this interest is switching increasingly on companies. Corporate reputation can be acquired by means of strong, well-developed strategies, which are crucial for the opinion of stakeholders regarding future stability and competitive sustainability of the company. On the other hand, it should be emphasized that in order to manage it, corporate reputation has to be measured first. However, although the concept of corporate reputation is universally accepted and its significance has been recognized especially in the last two decades, the process of its measurement is still at an early stage and there is no universally accepted instrument for its measurement. Therefore, the author of this paper gives an overview of the instruments used for the measurement of corporate reputation which have gained a foothold through former practical usage.

Full Text Available CONTEXTO: As prevalências de insatisfação com a imagem corporal vêm crescendo e as relações entre a autoimagem e diferentes indicadores antropométricos ainda não são bem conhecidas em muitos grupos. OBJETIVO: Identificar a relação entre a percepção da imagem corporal e diferentes indicadores antropométricos em idosas ativas. MÉTODOS:Participaram do estudo 62 idosas, inseridas em programa de hidroginástica há pelo menos cinco anos. A análise da percepção da imagem corporal foi realizada utilizando-se o protocolo de Stunkard et al. (1983. Foram realizadas medidas de massa corporal, estatura, circunferências (cintura, quadril e braço e da dobra cutânea tricipital. Para a análise dos dados, foi utilizada análise de correlação de Spearman, regressão linear múltipla e regressão de Poisson. RESULTADOS: As silhuetas 5 e 6 e as silhuetas 4 e 3 foram as mais indicadas como reais e ideais, respectivamente. A maior parte das idosas (72,6% estava insatisfeita com sua imagem corporal em função do excesso de peso. Os modelos de regressão com maior poder de predição da silhueta real levaram em consideração a circunferência de cintura (74% de explicação e a circunferência da cintura e dobra cutânea tricipital (77% de explicação. A prevalência de insatisfação com a imagem corporal foi 1,42 vez maior nas idosas classificadas em situação de risco, considerando-se a área de gordura do braço. CONCLUSÕES:As medidas de cintura e de braço foram as mais relevantes para a imagem corporal do grupo. A grande prevalência de insatisfação com a imagem corporal remete à necessidade de intervenções nutricionais e psicológicas no grupo de idosas.BACKGROUND: The prevalence of body image dissatisfaction have grown, and relationships between self-image and different anthropometric indicators are not yet well known in many groups. OBJECTIVE:Identify the relationship between body image perception and different anthropometric

Os principais objetivos deste estudo foram identificar as diferenças em termos de corporeidade e sexualidade entre homens e mulheres, o perfil sexual de homens e mulheres, bem como o perfil da satisfação corporal e sexual para cada sexo. Os participantes que afirmam gostar do corpo tendem a considerá-lo fisicamente bonito e proporcional, como também causar boa impressão. Participantes que relatam sentir satisfação corporal tendem a encontrar-se sexualmente satisfeitos, porém ao se controlar o sexo biológico, a correlação é verificada apenas entre os homens, os quais também demonstram tendência a ter maior intimidade corporal enquanto as mulheres valorizam carícias íntimas preliminares. Participantes com parceiro fixo chegam mais rápido ao orgasmo, embora reações corporais sejam percebidas mais comumente entre as mulheres.This research aimed to identify and compare the corporeity and sexuality aspects of male (n = 54 and female (n = 54 participants with distinct sexual and gender orientations at the I Floripa Diversity Games, in Florianópolis, July/ 2006, using the Questionnaire of Body Identity - QIC anonymously.

Full Text Available The paper presents a theoretical framework for assessing the impact of risk management on corporate value. As the relevant factors that determine this impact, the paper analyzes market imperfections and investors’ risk aversion. The results of the present research indicate that risk management contributes to an increase in corporate value if, under the influence of market imperfections, corporate risk exposure is concave. As an expression of market imperfections, the paper analyzes the costs of financial distress, agency costs, and taxation. The results of the research also indicate that the risk management policy should not aim to minimize, but rather optimize risk exposure, by taking into account the costs of risk management, investors’ risk aversion and the competitive advantage a corporation has on the relevant market.

In a research project about work-related issues and corporate sustainability conducted in Brazil, the goal was to better understand how work-related issues were addressed in the corporate context. Particularly, there are some specific initiatives that serve as guides to organizational decisions, which make their performance indicators for the context of corporate sustainability. 1) To explore the presence of work-related issues and their origins in corporate sustainability approach, analyzing a) corporate disclosures; b) sustainability guidelines that are identified as relevant in corporate disclosures; c) documents that are related to sustainable development and also identified as key-documents for these guidelines and initiatives. 2) To present the activity-centered ergonomics and psychodynamics of work contributions to work-related issues in a corporate sustainability approach. An exploratory study based on multiple sources of evidence that were performed from 2012 to 2013, including interviews with companies that engaged in corporate sustainability and document analysis using the content analysis approach. Work-related issues have been presented since the earliest sustainable development documents. It is feasible to construct an empirical framework for work-related issues and corporate sustainability approaches. 1) Although some authors argue that corporate sustainability has its roots based only on the environmental dimension, there is strong empirical evidence showing that social dimension aspects such as work-related issues have been present since the beginning. 2) Some indicators should be redesigned to more precisely translate the reality of some workplaces, particularly those indicators related to organizational design and mental health.

No cabe duda que uno de los problemas que más alarma social genera en la población es la delincuencia cometida por los menores con responsabilidad penal. Inicialmente se hace un repaso a la literatura criminológica actual sobre la reincidencia, programas de prevención, tratamiento a menores delincuentes y la evaluación de la eficacia de dichos programas. En el presente trabajo, siguiendo la metodología de otros estudios nacionales como el de Catalunya, analizamos la reincidencia de la delincuencia juvenil en Extremadura, concretamente de las medidas privativas de libertad. Se analizan los expedientes judiciales cerrados de aquellos jóvenes que hubieran finalizado una medida de este tipo en el año 2007 y se realiza el seguimiento de los mismos hasta el año 2010. En el año 2007, 115 jóvenes cumplieron o estaban cumpliendo una medida privativa de libertad en un Centro de Menores o Permanencia Fin de Semana, de los cuales 63 (57 varones y 7 mujeres resultaron pertenecer a la muestra final objeto de análisis. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que la tasa de reincidencia es del 52,4%, similar a la de otras Comunidades Autónomas, como País Vasco o Catalunya, e inferior a la de Asturias. Otro dato relevante es que un 41,9% de los menores objeto de estudio presentaban antecedentes, por lo que se refleja un comienzo en carreras delictivas acorde con los estudios existentes. La presente investigación ayuda a conocer la eficacia de los diferentes programas que se aplican a los menores delincuentes que cumplen medidas de internamiento, así como también hace una crítica de ésta al situarla con una elevada tasa de reincidencia.After more than 10 years of the entry into force of the

Full Text Available Agency theory studies have had almost no attention to antecedents of the causes leading agent-principal problem. As there is yet no consensus over what constitutes a perfectly working corporate governance mechanism, this discursive analysis tries to draw attention to the hidden reason of agent-principal problem in order to help the constitution of healthy corporate governance with corporate social responsibility. The purpose is to put forward that Founder’s Syndrome could be one of the reasons behind agency problem and a threat to corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. This paper is the first to extend Agency Theory by associating it with a syndrome analysing the psychological and behavioural instigations of it, which fills the void in literature. A theoretical lens to enhance organizations’ ability to be the corporate social responsibility-focused by overcoming Founder’s Syndrome is provided bearing implications especially for organisational behaviour researchers.

Product market competition and corporate governance

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Julia Chou

2011-04-01

Full Text Available This paper investigates whether product market competition acts as an external mechanism for disciplining management and also whether there is any relationship between the degree of competition a firm faces and its corporate governance. We find that firms in competitive industries or with low market power tend to have weak corporate governance structures. Results are robust to various competition measures at firm and industry levels, even after controlling for firm-specific variables. We further find that corporate governance quality has a significant effect on performance only when product market competition is weak. The overall evidence suggests that product market competition has a substantial impact on corporate governance and that it substitutes for corporate governance quality. Finally, we provide evidence that the disciplinary force of competition on management is from the fear of liquidation.

Corporate communications and stakeholder management

Full Text Available Corporate communications represent a modern communications discipline used by businesses across the globe to communicate with key stakeholders. Chief executive officers and executive management teams strive to create, protect and advance corporate reputation through corporate communications. Further, by communicating with key stakeholders the company adequately prepares for good news and future problems. With the benefit of technology and greater transparency, corporations of the future will continue to use corporate communications approaches to advance their business. Company's reputation derives from the way stakeholders perceive the organization, how they think, feel or act towards it. It is therefore vital that organizations interested in developing and building their reputational capital; pay careful attention to the way they are perceived and that they manage the relationships with their various stakeholders like a strategic resource. Stakeholders represent both opportunity and threat for the organizations. For instance, if an institution has a good reputation with stakeholders they may provide the organization more latitude to operate. On the other hand a poor reputation may result in creating the legislative that can make it more difficult for an institution to operate.

Full Text Available Corporate governance represents a complex concept, being an assembly of mechanisms used to set order into company leaders’ decisions. The rules of corporate governance are the ones keeping the score between the economic entity’s leaders and the third parties who invest their resources in the business. The corporate governance issue did not appear by hazard, but it resulted from the necessity to reconcile many business interests within a company (sometimes contradictory issues, especially the ones between the shareholders and the business leaders. The Anglo-Saxon view, in which the business power is given to the Equity items, is traditionally opposing the European (continental vision, where focus is being made on the Stakeholders’ interests. Within a world dominated by globalization issues, and where the financial markets evolve on an exponential curve, the two above mentioned corporate governance models ought to interact one with another in a constructive manner. Even if the corporate governance concept has developed recently, mainly during the last 25 years, its origins are rooted way back into the world history. Corporate governance is organically linked to the capitalist society and economy. After the 11 September attacks, many of the contemporary authors had the tendency to declare this date as the beginning of the XXIst century. If the ‘Twin Towers’ had hosted companies like: Tyco, Enron, Xerox, Wordcom and many other Stock Exchange-quoted businesses, it is likely that the financial crisis from 2000-2002 would have been differently perceived, and corporate governance had developed slightly different evolutionary mechanisms. A scientific article, based on the comparison between the classical and modern corporate governance experiences, would therefore suit the Romanian business environment.
