Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo ejecutar un análisis del cumplimiento de la Normativa Laboral en la Industria Atunera de Manabí con el fin de determinar cuáles son los factores laborales que no se están cumpliendo a cabalidad de acuerdo a lo estipulado por la ley, dicho análisis se apoyó de la investigación bibliográfica permitiendo conocer que la legislación laboral del sector pesquero está dado por un sinnúmero de reglamentos y normativas cada uno con su propósito en particular, además se logró identificar que la gran mayoría de los accidentes laborales presentados en Manabí se dieron en la pesca sobre todo en el tipo artesanal donde los trabajadores están expuestos a mayor riesgo, esto porque es el sector más vulnerable debido a que la relación laboral es más verbal y no gozan de sus derechos como es: a la afiliación, a un sueldo justo; en la pesca industrial sufren accidentes como: caídas, cortes, lesiones en la columna, entre otros. Un dato preocupante es que en 2013 los accidentes mortales en la pesca fueron de 31.20%, en el análisis descriptivo se pudo afirmar que dar cumplimiento de la legislación laboral es de mucha importancia para cualquier sector, ya que la organización se evita ser sancionada o multada por el organismo competente, por otro lado, también se ejecuta una descripción del proceso de evaluación de cumplimiento de la normativa por el Ministerio de Trabajo. Se utilizó el método analítico que contribuyó en el análisis de la información del incumplimiento por parte de la Industria Atunera de Manabí. Palabras claves: Pesca, Trabajo, Accidente, Contrato, Legislación, Reglas. ABSTRACT This research aimed to run an analysis of the compliance work in the tuna industry of Manabí in order to determine what business factors that are not being met fully according to the stipulated by the law, This analysis is supported of the bibliographic research allowing to know that the labour legislation in the fisheries sector is given by a myriad of regulations and standards each with its purpose in particular, also managed to identify the vast majority of presented in Manabi accidents occurred in fishing throughout the craft type where workers are exposed to greater also is the most vulnerable sector because the employment relationship is more verbal and they do not enjoy their rights as it is : the affiliation, a salary, in industrial fisheries suffer accidents such as: falls, cuts, injuries in the column, among others. A worrying fact is that the 2013 accidents mortals in fisheries were 31.20% in the descriptive analysis is could say that giving labour legislation compliance is very important for any sector since the Organization avoided being penalized or fined by the competent body, on the other hand also runs a description of the process of evaluation of compliance with regulations by the Ministry of labour. The analytical method that contributed to the analysis of the information of the default by the tuna industry of Manabí. Keywords: Fishing, Work, Accident, Contract, Law, Rules.

Thesis specially prepared to obtain the PhD degree in Social Sciences, specializing in Strategic Studies ; Esta tese pretende identificar a relevância da economia nacional para a autonomia estratégica de um estado e, mais especificamente, responder à pergunta: em que medida a economia nacional é relevante para a autonomia estratégica de um estado? Durante a maior parte da História, a Estratégia preocupou-se com a guerra e o uso da força militar para resolver disputas interestaduais. A força militar também foi o principal instrumento com que os países poderiam expandir rapidamente a sua riqueza e protegê-la de ameaças predatórias de outros, pelo que, de certo modo, a riqueza dependia da capacidade de ganhar guerras. Mesmo quando na Era Moderna o comércio se tornou num potente instrumento para o enriquecimento rápido, como mostram as repúblicas marítimas italianas ou as subsequentes potências dominantes do comércio oriental, como Portugal, a supremacia militar, especialmente no mar, continuou a ser fundamental para adquirir e manter os monopólios comerciais que permitiam o enriquecimento desejado. Nos tempos mais recentes, a envolvente favorável às acções bélicas mudou consideravelmente. Por um lado, conquista e pilhagem deixaram de ser instrumentos a que os estados possam recorrer facilmente, pois terão pela frente toda a comunidade internacional. Por outro lado, as condições económicas evoluíram de uma maneira que permitiu aumentar rapidamente a riqueza apenas com um melhor uso dos recursos domésticos. E por fim, o potencial de destruição do mundo, resultante do armamento nuclear, juntamente com a menor vontade de lutar à medida que as sociedades se tornam mais afluentes, tornou paradoxalmente a guerra menos provável como modo de resolução de disputas internacionais. Neste novo contexto, o poder militar permanece importante e é garante da estabilidade necessária, nomeadamente para o bom funcionamento das economias. E continua sendo uma fonte determinante na formatação do poder nas relações internacionais. Mas esse poder é principalmente uma preocupação para os países que são, ou aspiram ser, potências mundiais ou regionais. Como tal, diz respeito a um pequeno número de estados. Para a maioria dos estados (incluindo potências económicas, como a Alemanha e o Japão) – que designamos por "estados comuns" por não serem ou não aspirarem a ser potências mundiais ou regionais e não terem a sua existência em risco –, e uma vez asseguradas condições de paz mundial pelas potências e pelas organizações para o efeito instituídas pela comunidade internacional, as suas aspirações – nas quais a prosperidade tem um lugar central – e os seus interesses disputam-se sobretudo no campo da economia. É nesse campo que os países se confrontam e competem entre si continuadamente. Não em confrontos diretos, como são os jogos de soma zero, mas em disputas indiretas, como se fossem corridas em que todos podem ganhar alguma coisa, ajustando as ambições às suas capacidades. Todavia, a competição económica, mesmo quando decorre em entornos cooperativos, não deixa de ser confrontadora, na medida em que os competidores disputam recursos mundiais – recursos produtivos e poder de compra – que são escassos por natureza. Só que essa disputa, mesmo sendo confrontadora, é um jogo de soma positiva, na medida em que o seu resultado amplia o conjunto dos recursos que disputa. Desta forma, a economia tornou-se um teatro estratégico relevante. É, pois, essa realidade que as teorias da estratégia devem reconhecer e incorporar, e é para isso que esta tese pretende contribuir. A autonomia estratégica é uma condição fundamental para as opções estratégicas na ação dos estados. Muito se fala dela em vários quadrantes políticos – nomeadamente em França, nas instâncias da União Europeia e na India –, mas o termo nunca foi bem definido. Nos documentos europeus, subentende-se que a autonomia pretendida, sobretudo no caso francês, é em relação aos Estados Unidos (o que não é partilhado por muitos outros estados, incluindo a Alemanha). E na Índia, a autonomia estratégica é uma adaptação do conceito de nãoalinhamento, usado durante a Guerra Fria, ao contexto subsequente ao seu fim. Neste caso, e para além da autossuficiência militar, o conceito de autonomia passou a estender-se também explicitamente ao campo económico.Sendo uma parte essencial do objeto da pesquisa, foi necessário avançar com uma definição clara e operacional do conceito, não apenas para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, mas também para usos futuros. Uma definição que tivesse em conta os instrumentos de poder ao alcance do estado, a estrutura do sistema internacional e as circunstâncias históricas. Para esse efeito, e para orientar a procura da resposta à pergunta de pesquisa, foi desenvolvido um quadro analítico, assumindo que uma (grande) estratégia nacional, englobando todos os recursos do país e coordenando todas as políticas nacionais, é um instrumento estratégico fundamental de boa governação do estado. E para a eficaz afirmação do estado na esfera internacional, assim como para a promoção dos interesses fundamentais do país. Instrumento que terá que ter uma natureza determinada, mas dinâmica, ancorada num propósito claro que assegure o rumo, mas flexível o suficiente para atender aos desafios, muitas vezes inesperados, que o correr do tempo e a mudança de circunstâncias hão-de ir opondo no seu caminho. Sem um tal instrumento, o estado não terá um rumo definido e limitar-se-á a navegar as circunstâncias procurando delas tirar o melhor partido, mas sem a orientação necessária para atender rápida e eficazmente à mudança da sorte circunstancial e sem perder o sentido do caminho. E porque a incerteza é o que de mais certo e permanente se tem no caminho do porvir, a autonomia estratégica – a margem de manobra para escolher meios e destinos possíveis – torna-se na melhor salvaguarda para lidar com as surpresas estratégicas que o futuro inevitavelmente colocará no caminho estratégico do estado. E por isso, uma boa estratégia nacional deve sempre conter, juntamente com os objetivos finais que pretenda atingir, o objetivo instrumental de preservação e ampliação da autonomia estratégica do país. A autonomia estratégica depende dos instrumentos de poder de que o estado disponha ou a que possa recorrer e também da eficácia e eficiência de cada um desses instrumentos nas circunstâncias concretas em que o seu uso seja necessário. Isto porque certos instrumentos de poder são mais eficazes numas circunstâncias do que noutras, pelo que, por exemplo, uma potência económica pode, em tempo de paz, ter mais autonomia estratégica do que uma potência militar. O poder económico é, pois, um dos instrumentos que pode proporcionar autonomia estratégica e em graus variados, consoante as circunstâncias, e é aquele sobre o qual esta pesquisa se debruça, como resulta claro do seu objeto. Como fatores mais relevantes para a construção do poder económico de um país e, por conseguinte, para a sua autonomia estratégica, foram destacados a dimensão da economia, a inserção nas redes mundiais de comércio, de conhecimento e de tecnologia, a capacidade tecnológica, a poupança, a riqueza e a parcimónia no recurso a fontes externas de financiamento. A dimensão económica, em si, tem reduzida relevância estratégica se não for suscetível de poder variar em resultado de acções deliberadas dos decisores estratégicos dirigidas a esse objetivo. Assim, e relativamente a esta componente, o que se torna estrategicamente relevante são os fatores suscetíveis daquelas acções. O que não é (ou só o é em níveis muito limitados) o caso da população, que sendo uma âncora importante tem um reduzido potencial dinâmico. Mas é o caso do capital físico – dependente de investimento – e humano – dependente da formação – e da eficiência económica – dependente da organização no uso daqueles fatores e que se reflete na sua produtividade. O comércio com o exterior oferece aos países a oportunidade de expandir o seu potencial económico, proporcionando um mercado de dimensão mundial e dessa forma permite à economia especializar-se em segmentos nos quais possa ser mais eficiente ou desfrutar de vantagens particulares e, portanto, expandir o seu tamanho económico para além do que o limitado mercado doméstico poderia proporcionar. A tecnologia, sobretudo se dominada nas áreas de ponta, também é um gerador e um diferenciador de poder, do mesmo modo que o seu não comando acarreta dependências limitadoras da autonomia. E a poupança é crucial para a acumulação de riqueza, que é, em si mesmo, uma fonte de poder que permite realizar, influenciar, pressionar e coagir, ao mesmo tempo que permite preservar o controlo nacional das economias nacionais. Controlo sem o qual a economia se torna dependente de centros estratégicos alheios, quando não adversos, aos interesses do país. No entanto, há que ter em conta, que os processos de integração em cadeias globais, de comércio, tecnologia e finanças, ao mesmo tempo que criam oportunidades de expansão da autonomia estratégica, também podem criar dependências que, se não forem devidamente controladas, se podem tornar muito limitadoras da autonomia estratégica dos estados. Finalmente, para que o poder económico gerado pela sua economia, mas disperso por vários agentes independentes na sua propriedade e controlo, seja plenamente potenciado na autonomia estratégica do Estado, é necessário que o governo e a sociedade consigam articular os seus interesses e compartilhar uma visão comum. do papel do país no mundo. A China e a Alemanha representam dois casos paradigmáticos que validam as considerações teóricas avançadas pela tese. ; The aim of this thesis is to identify the relevance of the national economy to the strategic autonomy of a state and, more specifically, to answer the question: To what extent is the national economy relevant to a state's strategic autonomy? For most of History, strategy has been concerned with war and the use of military force to solve interstate disputes. Military force was also the main instrument by which countries could rapidly expand their wealth or protect it from predatory threats from others. In recent times, this underlying environment has changed considerably. Economic conditions have evolved in a way that has allowed wealth quickly to increase just by making better use of domestic resources, and war has become less and less seen as a way to solve international disputes. In this new context, it is essential to recognize the economy as a relevant strategic theater where countries confront and compete with each other on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, the economy is the theater where most states – not risking their existence or aspiring to become world or regional powers – can act strategically. Therefore, theories of strategy must acknowledge and incorporate this new reality, and it is to this area of research that the thesis intends to contribute.Strategic autonomy is a fundamental condition for the strategic options in the action of states. Much talked about in various political quarters, no one has managed to define the term well. Being an essential part of the research object, a clear and operational definition is therefore necessary, not only for the development of this research, but also for future uses by researchers and analysts. With the economy recognized as a relevant strategic theater and with a definition of strategic autonomy, the path was opened to seek the answer to the research question into the realm of the economy. The size of a state's economy is a primary source of its economic power and this power is a source of strategic autonomy. Population size is both an anchor and a relevant scale variable, but its dynamic potential is limited. On the other hand, capital accumulation – physical and human, tangible and intangible –, together with the efficiency of its use, has far greater potential to change dynamically the size of an economy. Trade offers states an opportunity to expand their economic potential, providing the national economy with a world market and allowing it to specialize in segments where it can be more efficient or enjoy particular advantages. And, therefore, trade is the means to expand the economic size of the country beyond that which its limited domestic market could allow. Technology can also be a generator of state power, providing opportunities to seize competitive advantage, both directly in the economy and indirectly on other fronts of power. Savings are crucial to building wealth, offering the power to realize, influence, pressure, and coerce, while also ensuring the nation is able to preserve control of its economy. Finally, in order for the economic power generated by a country's economy to be fully projected in the strategic autonomy of the state – not forgetting how ownership and control is dispersed among several independent agents – it is necessary to share a common vision of the country's role in the world. This involves government, society in general, and its economic elite in particular being able to align private interest with the common interest of the country. China and Germany provide two paradigmatic cases that validate the theoretical considerations advanced by this thesis. ; N/A

Results are presented from a search for new physics in final states containing a photon and missing transverse momentum. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb?1 collected in proton–proton collisions at s=8 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC. No deviation from the standard model predictions is observed for these final states. New, improved limits are set on dark matter production and on parameters of models with large extra dimensions. In particular, the first limits from the LHC on branon production are found and significantly extend previous limits from LEP and the Tevatron. An upper limit of 14.0 fb on the cross section is set at the 95% confidence level for events with a monophoton final state with photon transverse momentum greater than 145 GeV and missing transverse momentum greater than 140 GeV ; California Earthquake Authority Fonds pour la Formation à la Recherche dans l'Industrie et dans l'Agriculture European Regional Development Fund State Fund for Fundamental Research of Ukraine: Ukraine Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro CS Fund: Croatia Fuel Cell Technologies Program Joint Institute for Nuclear Research Ministry of Education - Singapore Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission: Pakistan Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología National Science and Technology Development Agency: Thailand Ministry for Business Innovation and Employment Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences Fundacja na rzecz Nauki Polskiej Foundation for Promotion of Material Science and Technology of Japan: Taipei Hispanics in Philanthropy Korea Research Council for Industrial Science and Technology Compagnia di San Paolo California Department of Fish and Game National Research Foundation Qatar National Research Fund Secretaría de Estado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación Canadian Mathematical Society A.G.

The first study of W boson production in pPb collisions is presented, for bosons decaying to a muon or electron, and a neutrino. The measurements are based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34.6 nb?1 at a nucleon–nucleon centre-of-mass energy of sNN=5.02 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment. The W boson differential cross sections, lepton charge asymmetry, and forward–backward asymmetries are measured for leptons of transverse momentum exceeding 25 GeV/c, and as a function of the lepton pseudorapidity in the |?lab|>2.4 range. Deviations from the expectations based on currently available parton distribution functions are observed, showing the need for including W boson data in nuclear parton distribution global fits ; California Earthquake Authority European Regional Development Fund Joint Institute for Nuclear Research Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission: Pakistan National Science and Technology Development Agency: Thailand Fundacja na rzecz Nauki Polskiej Korea Research Council for Industrial Science and Technology Hispanics in Philanthropy Compagnia di San Paolo California Department of Fish and Game Qatar National Research Fund Secretaría de Estado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación National Research Foundation Ministry of Science ICT and Future Planning Canadian Mathematical Society A.G.

A model-independent search for a narrow resonance produced in proton-proton collisions at s=8 TeV and decaying to a pair of 125 GeV Higgs bosons that in turn each decays into a bottom quark-antiquark pair is performed by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 17.9 fb-1. No evidence for a signal is observed. Upper limits at a 95% confidence level on the production cross section for such a resonance, in the mass range from 270 to 1100 GeV, are reported. Using these results, a radion with decay constant of 1 TeV and mass from 300 to 1100 GeV, and a Kaluza-Klein graviton with mass from 380 to 830 GeV are excluded at a 95% confidence level ; California Earthquake Authority Fonds pour la Formation à la Recherche dans l'Industrie et dans l'Agriculture European Regional Development Fund State Fund for Fundamental Research of Ukraine: Ukraine Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro CS Fund: Croatia Fuel Cell Technologies Program Joint Institute for Nuclear Research Ministry of Education - Singapore Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission: Pakistan Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología National Science and Technology Development Agency: Thailand Ministry for Business Innovation and Employment Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences Fundacja na rzecz Nauki Polskiej Foundation for Promotion of Material Science and Technology of Japan: Taipei Hispanics in Philanthropy Korea Research Council for Industrial Science and Technology California Department of Fish and Game Compagnia di San Paolo Secretaría de Estado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación National Research Foundation Qatar National Research Fund Ministry of Science ICT and Future Planning Canadian Mathematical Society A.G.

A search for a neutral Higgs boson decaying to a pair of b quarks, and produced in association with at least one additional b quark, is presented. Multijet final states with three jets identified as originating from b quarks, at least one of which may include a non-isolated muon, are studied. The data used in this analysis correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.7–4.8 fb-1, collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. This search is particularly sensitive to Higgs bosons in scenarios of the Minimal Supersymmetric Model (MSSM) with large values of tan ß. No excess over the predicted background from standard model processes is observed. Stringent upper limits on cross section times branching fraction are derived and interpreted as bounds in the MSSM tan ß and mA parameter-space. Observed 95% confidence level upper limits reach as low as tanß?18 for MA?100 GeV. © 2013 CERN ; California Earthquake Authority Serbia European Regional Development Fund Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Fuel Cell Technologies Program, FCT Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, JINR: Ukraine Marketing Science Institute Bundesministerium für Wissenschaft und Forschung, BMWF Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission: Pakistan Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología National Science and Technology Development Agency: Thailand Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences Fundacja na rzecz Nauki Polskiej Hispanics in Philanthropy Fonds pour la Formation à la Recherche dans l'Industrie et dans l'Agriculture, FRIA Korea Research Council for Industrial Science and Technology, ISTK California Department of Fish and Game Compagnia di San Paolo Secretaría de Estado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación National Research Foundation Canadian Mathematical Society A.G.

WOS:000459324100001 ; A search for long-lived particles decaying into jets is presented. Data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The search examines the distinctive topology of displaced tracks and secondary vertices. The selected events are found to be consistent with standard model predictions. For a simplified model in which long-lived neutral particles are pair produced and decay to two jets, pair production cross sections larger than 0.2 fb are excluded at 95% confidence level for a long-lived particle mass larger than 1000 GeV and proper decay lengths between 3 and 130 mm. Several supersymmetry models with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking or R-parity violation, where pair-produced long-lived gluinos or top squarks decay to several final-state topologies containing displaced jets, are also tested. For these models, in the mass ranges above 200 GeV, gluino masses up to 2300-2400 GeV and top squark masses up to 1350-1600 GeV are excluded for proper decay lengths approximately between 10 and 100 mm. These are the most restrictive limits to date on these models. ; BMBWF (Austria); FWF (Austria)Austrian Science Fund (FWF); FNRS (Belgium)Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique - FNRS; FWO (Belgium)FWO; CNPq (Brazil)National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq); CAPES (Brazil)CAPES; FAPERJ (Brazil)Carlos Chagas Filho Foundation for Research Support of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ); FAPERGS (Brazil)Foundation for Research Support of the State of Rio Grande do Sul (FAPERGS); FAPESP (Brazil)Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP); MES (Bulgaria); CERN; CAS (China)Chinese Academy of Sciences; MoST (China)Ministry of Science and Technology, China; NSFC (China)National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC); COLCIENCIAS (Colombia)Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion Colciencias; MSES (Croatia); Croatian Science Foundation (Croatia); RPF (Cyprus); SENESCYT (Ecuador); MoER (Estonia); ERC IUT (Estonia)Estonian Research Council; ERDF (Estonia)European Union (EU); Academy of Finland (Finland)Academy of Finland; MEC (Finland); Helsinki Institute of Physics (Finland); CEA (France)French Atomic Energy Commission; CNRS/IN2P3 (France)Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS); BMBF (Germany)Federal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF); DFG (Germany)German Research Foundation (DFG); HGF (Germany); GSRT (Greece)Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT; NKFIA (Hungary); DAE (India)Department of Atomic Energy (DAE); DST (India)Department of Science & Technology (India); IPM (Iran); SFI (Ireland)Science Foundation Ireland; INFN(Italy)Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN); MS (Republic of Korea); NRF (Republic of Korea); MES (Latvia); Lithuanian Academy of Sciences (Lithuania); MOE (Malaysia); UM (Malaysia); BUAP (Mexico); CINVESTAV (Mexico); CONACYT (Mexico)Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CONACyT); LNS (Mexico); SEP (Mexico); UASLP-FAI (Mexico); MOS (Montenegro); MBIE (New Zealand); PAEC (Pakistan); MSHE (Poland); NSC (Poland); FCT (Portugal)Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology; JINR (Dubna); MON (Russia); RosAtom (Russia); RAS (Russia)Russian Academy of Sciences; RFBR (Russia)Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR); National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" (Russia); MESTD (Serbia); Secretaria de Estado de Investigacion, Desarrollo e Innovacion (SEIDI) (Spain); CPAN (Spain); PCTI (Spain); FEDER (Spain)European Union (EU); MOSTR (Sri Lanka); Swiss Funding Agencies (Switzerland); MST (Taipei); ThEPCenter (Thailand); Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology of Thailand (IPST) (Thailand); Special Task Force for Activating Research (STAR) (Thailand); NSTDA (Thailand); TUBITAK (Turkey)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK); TAEK (Turkey)Ministry of Energy & Natural Resources - Turkey; NASU (Ukraine); SFFR (Ukraine)State Fund for Fundamental Research (SFFR); STFC (United Kingdom)Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC); Department of Energy (USA)United States Department of Energy (DOE); National Science Foundation (USA)National Science Foundation (NSF); Marie-Curie program (European Union)European Union (EU); European Research Council (European Union)European Union (EU)European Research Council (ERC) [675440]; Horizon 2020 Grant (European Union)European Union (EU) [675440]; Leventis Foundation; A.

No digas nada (Spanish Edition) Patrick Radden Keefe Reservoir Books, Madrid, 2020 Patrick Radden Keefe is an American journalist of Irish ancestry who worked on this story based on a visit to documentary repositories in Boston, from which he reconstructs a sort of memoir of the 30 years of the Northern Ireland conflict - often referred to in local journalistic jargon as the troubles - as well as chronicling the process that led to the Good Friday armistice of 1998, which decreed the end of hostilities and the beginning of Sinn Fein activity. It is also a chronicle of the political party built by Gerry Adams as a definitive replacement for the IRA army (to which Adams always denied his membership, which this book attempts to disprove), as well as an account not only of the difficult years, but also of the persistence to date of an unresolved conflict that would only be resolved with the annexation of Ulster (a territory of Northern Ireland still part of the United Kingdom) to the Republic of Ireland. ; No digas nada Patrick Radden Keefe Reservoir Books, Madrid, 2020 Patrick Radden Keefe es un periodista estadounidense de ancestros irlandeses que trabajó en esta historia basada en la visita a repositorios documentales obrantes en Boston, desde los cuales reconstruye una suerte de memorial sobre los 30 años del conflicto de Irlanda del Norte –que se suelen denominar en la jerga periodística local, the troubles o las dificultades-, además de historizar el proceso que llevaría al armisticio del Viernes Santo de 1998, que decretaría el fin de las hostilidades y el inicio de la actividad del Sinn Fein. Se trata asimismo de una crónica de ese partido político construido por Gerry Adams en reemplazo definitivo del ejército IRA (al cual Adams siempre negó su pertenencia, lo que este libro trata de desmentir) así como del relato no solo de los años difíciles, sino de la persistencia hasta ahora de una conflictividad no resuelta que solo se lograría con la anexión del Ulster (territorio de Irlanda del Norte todavía integrado al United Kingdom) a la república de Irlanda. ; No digas nada (Edição em Espanhol) Patrick Radden Keefe Reservoir Books, Madrid, 2020 Patrick Radden Keefe é um jornalista americano de ascendência irlandesa que trabalhou nesta história com base em uma visita a repositórios documentais em Boston, a partir da qual ele reconstrói uma espécie de memoir dos 30 anos do conflito da Irlanda do Norte - muitas vezes referidos no jargão jornalístico local como os problemas - bem como crônicas do processo que levou ao armistício da Sexta-feira Santa de 1998, que decretou o fim das hostilidades e o início da atividade do Sinn Fein.

Background. Body weight dissatisfaction is a hindrance to following a healthy lifestyle and it has been associated with weight concerns. Objectives. The aim of this study was to assess the association between the adherence to the Mediterranean lifestyle (diet and exercise) and the desired body weight loss in an adult Mediterranean population with overweight. Methods. Cross-sectional analysis in 6355 participants (3268 men; 3087 women) with metabolic syndrome and BMI (Body mass index) between 27.0 and 40.0 kg/m2 (55–75 years old) from the PREDIMED-Plus trial. Desired weight loss was the percentage of weight that participants wished to lose. It was categorized into four cut-offs of this percentage (Q1: <10%, n = 1495; Q2: 10–15%, n = 1804; Q3: <15–20%, n = 1470; Q4: ≥20%, n = 1589). Diet was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire and a 17-item Mediterranean diet questionnaire. Physical activity was assessed by the validated Minnesota-REGICOR and the validated Spanish version of the Nurses' Health Study questionnaire. Results. Participants reporting higher percentages of desired weight loss (Q3 and Q4) were younger, had higher real and perceived BMI and were more likely to have abdominal obesity. Desired weight loss correlated inversely to physical activity (Q1: 2106 MET min/week; Q4: 1585 MET min/week. p < 0.001) and adherence to Mediterranean diet (Q1: 8.7; Q4: 8.3. p < 0.001). Conclusions.

The Latin aphorism societas delinquere non potest, which means that companies can notcommit a crime has been undisputed for a long time in the science of criminal law.However, in recent years there have been legal research pointing to the imputation ofcriminal liability for juridical person. Traditionally we have two theories about the legalpersonality, the first of them, the Fiction, whose representative is Savigny, who argues that legal entities lack of will, they are creations of the law therefore they cannot be punishedby their commited crimes, only responding the subject acting on their behalf; this thesis isbased on the principle societas delinquere non potest. The second is Gierke's Theory ofthe Reality of Corporate, which states that legal persons should be seen as a real group,whose pursuit of purpose transcends the sphere of individual interests, granting them freewill. From the side of Venezuelan legislation the Roman Maxim quote previouslymentioned has been used. However, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court inJune 2009 issued a ruling in which advocates that legal persons may be creditors of suchliability. This documentary research, is to analyze the feasibility of applying criminal liabilityfor legal persons in Venezuela, concluding that the political need to impute criminalresponsibility to the legal entities cannot lead to cracking of the existing structure on whichrests the theory of crime is based; consequently, new alternatives to broadening thesubject of law and its incorporation into the Penal Code need to be seek ; El aforismo latino societas delinquere non potest, el cual significa que las sociedades nopueden delinquir, ha sido indiscutible durante un largo tiempo en la ciencia del DerechoPenal. Sin embargo, en los últimos años han surgido investigaciones jurídicas queapuntan hacia la imputación de una responsabilidad penal para las personas jurídicas.Tradicionalmente se conocen dos teorías acerca de la personalidad jurídica, la primera deellas, la Ficción, cuyo representante es Savigny, quien expone que los entes moralescarecen de voluntad, pues son creaciones de derecho, por lo cual no pueden ser penadospor los delitos que perpetren, respondiendo únicamente el sujeto que actúa en surepresentación; esta tesis se inspira en el principio societas delinquere non potest. Lasegunda, es la Teoría de la Realidad, ideada por Gierke, quien plantea que las personasjurídicas deben concebirse como un ser colectivo real, cuya consecución de finestransciende la esfera de intereses individuales, reconociéndoseles voluntad propia. Por suparte, la legislación venezolana se acoge a la máxima romana previamente mencionada.No obstante, la Sala Constitucional del Tribunal Supremo de Justicia emitió en junio de2009 una Sentencia en la que se propugna que las personas jurídicas pueden seracreedoras de dicha responsabilidad. La presente investigación, de tipo documental, tienecomo finalidad analizar la viabilidad de la aplicación de responsabilidad penal para laspersonas jurídicas en Venezuela, concluyéndose que la necesidad político-criminal deimputar responsabilidad a los entes ideales no puede llevar a resquebrajar la actualestructura sobre la cual descansa la teoría del delito; por ello, deben buscarse nuevasalternativas tendientes a la ampliación del sujeto de derecho y su incorporación en elCódigo Penal.

O presente trabalho constitui uma reflexão acerca da importância de se oferecerem oportunidades institucionais de participação política aos cidadãos a fim de se consolidar o regime democrático de governo. Argumenta-se que a participação é indispensável para a consecução de duas metas: a) Conferir maior legitimidade ao regime e às decisões elaboradas em seu âmbito. Discute-se o argumento sobre como a carência de oportunidades de participação acaba por tornar os cidadãos apáticos e insatisfeitos com a democracia. Considera-se, então, a necessidade de promover mecanismos de intervenção mais fortes e frequentes para a esfera civil; b) Implementar as políticas públicas de maneira mais efetiva. A participação possui uma faceta instrumental, por possibilitar uma melhor qualidade na formulação, implementação e efetividade das decisões políticas e programas governamentais. Assim, no texto, defende-se a adoção de novos dispositivos participativos institucionais por meio da demonstração de suas vantagens. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: democracia, participação, legitimidade, instituições, políticas públicas. POLITICAL PARTICIPATION, LEGITIMACY AND DEMOCRATIC EFFECTIVENESS Francisco Paulo Jamil Almeida Marques This paper is a reflection on the importance of offering institutional opportunities for political participation for the citizens, in order to consolidate the democratic system of government. It is argued that participation is essential to achieve two goals: 1) Confer more legitimacy to the regime and the decisions elaborated in its scope. An argument is made about how the lack of participation opportunities eventually make citizens apathetic and dissatisfied with democracy. The need to promote for more frequent and stronger intervention mechanisms to the civil sphere is considered. 2) More effectively implement public policies. Participation has an instrumental facet, by providing a better quality in the formulation, implementation and effectiveness of policy decisions and government programs. So, in this text, the adoption of new participatory institutional devices through the demonstration of its advantages is defended. KEYWORDS: democracy, participation, legitimacy, institutions, public policies. PARTICIPATION POLITIQUE, LÉGITIMITÉ ET EFFICACITÉ DÉMOCRATIQUE Francisco Paulo Jamil Almeida Marques Ce travail présente une réflexion sur l'importance d'offrir des opportunités institu-tionnelles de participation politique aux citoyens en vue de consolider le régime démocratique de gouvernement. Il est estimé que la participation est indispensable pour atteindre deux objectifs: 1) Attribuer une plus grande légitimité au régime et aux décisions élaborées dans son champ d'application. On y discute de l'argument concernant le manque d'opportunités de participation qui rend les citoyens apathiques et insatisfaits quant à la démocratie. C'est alors que l'on prend en considération la nécessité de promouvoir des mécanismes d'intervention plus forts et plus fréquents pour la sphère civile. 2) Mettre plus efficacement en oeuvre des politiques publiques. La participation a un aspect instrumental, car elle permet une meilleure qualité de formulation, de mise en place et d'effectivité des décisions politiques et des programmes gouvernementaux. On défend donc l'adoption de nouveaux dispositifs institutionnels de participation grâce à la démonstration de leurs avantages. MOTS-CLÉS: démocratie, participation, légitimité, institutions, politiques publiques.

Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Relações Internacionais com o Mundo Árabe e Islâmico. ; This dissertation analyses the political and legal reactions that Muslim communities are currently experiencing in contemporary Western countries against the backdrop of shifting and narrowing definitions of pluralism and democracy. The objective is to emphasize that the real threat to liberal democracies around the world is not only Islamic extremism, but also the continuation of policy-making decisions anchored on a misunderstanding of Islam and of Muslims in the West. As such, this work examines the political and cultural mood of several countries in Europe and North America, analyses the current social realities for Muslims in the West, explores the concept of human rights in Islamic sources, and considers various opinions – including Muslim voices – on the relationship between Islam and the West. The aim is to escape the divisive dialogue that pits one ‗civilization' against another, and contribute to a conversation that understands the urgent need for solutions to the escalating tensions being experienced today.--- Cette disssertation analyse les réactions politiques et juridiques vécues actuellement par les communautés musulmanes dans les pays occidentaux contemporains, face au retour en arrière et aux limitations qui marquent les définitions de pluralisme et de démocratie. L'objectif est de souligner que la menace réelle aux démocraties libérales dans le monde n'est pas seulement l'Islamisme radical, mais aussi la continuation d'un processus de décision enraciné dans une incompréhension de l'Islam et des musulmans en Occident. À ce titre, ce travail examine l'atmosphère politique et culturelle de différents pays européens et nord-américains, analyse les réalités sociales actuelles des musulmans en Occident, explore le concept de droits de l'Homme au sein des sources islamiques, et considère diverses opinions — y compris des voix musulmanes — à propos des relations entre l'Islam et l'Occident. Le but est ici d'échapper à un dialogue basé sur la division, opposant une "civilisation" à une autre, et de contribuer à une lancer une conversation qui comprenne la nécessité de solutions à l'escalade de tensions vécue aujourd'hui.--- Esta dissertação estuda as reacções políticas e jurídicas vividas pelas comunidades islâmicas nos países ocidentais contemporâneos, frente ao retrocesso e ao estreitamente das definições de pluralismo e democracia. O objectivo é de sublinhar que a ameaça real às democracias liberais no mundo não é apenas o radicalismo islâmico, mas também a continuação de processos decisionais enraizados na incompreensão do Islâo e dos muçulmanos pelo Ocidente. Como tal, este trabalho examina o ambiente político e cultural de vários países na Europa e na América do Norte, aprofunda as realidades sociais actuais dos muçulmanos no Ocidente, explora o conceito de direitos humanos nas fontes islâmicas, e considera várias opiniões — incluíndo vozes muçulmanas — sobre as relações entre o Islão e o Ocidente. O objectivo é de escapar a um diálogo marcado pela divisão que aponta uma "civilização" contra uma outra, e contribuir para um entendimento que possa incluir a necessidade urgente de soluções à escalada de tensões presenciada nos nossos dias.

No intuito de ordenar espaços e devolver aos centros urbanos o papel hegemônico perdido, políticas urbanas contemporâneas vêm procurando fomentar diferentes modos de intervenção designados por "revitalização" ou "requalificação". A cidade, voltada para a valorização de seu patrimônio histórico, torna-se então objeto de remodelações e reformas arquitetônicas, com vistas à preservação, ensejando imagens e marcas. Refletir sobre as intervenções em centros urbanos de metrópoles contemporâneas, incluindo experiências mais recentes realizadas em cidades nordestinas, constitui o objetivo central do presente artigo. Com menos interesse em fazer avaliações propositivas, o artigo analisa concepções e conflitos simbólicos que balizam práticas de "revitalização". A presença de consumidores variados do espaço público (turistas, moradores, comerciantes etc.) e as polêmicas estabelecidas em torno dos investimentos culturais e econômicos servirão de baliza para as ideias presentes no texto. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: centro urbano, "revitalização", espaço público, turismo, metrópole.PULSATIONS IN THE HEART OF THE CITY: scenarios for intervention in contemporary urban centers Irlys Alencar F. Barreira Barreira In order to sort spaces and give back to urban centers their lost hegemonic role, contemporary urban policies have been seeking to foster different modes of intervention called "revitalization" or "requalification". The city, facing the valorization of its historical heritage, then becomes the object of architectural renovations and reforms, aimed at preservation, allowing for images and brands. The central objective of this paper is to reflect on the interventions in the contemporary metropolitan urban centers, including the most recent experiences conducted in Brazilian northeastern cities. This paper, less interested in making propositional assessments, analyzes symbolic concepts and conflicts that guide practices of "revitalization." The presence of various consumers of public space (tourists, residents, merchants etc.) and the controversies surrounding the cultural and economic investments will serve as a guide for the ideas in the text. KEYWORDS: urban center, "revitalization", public space, tourism metropolis.PULSATIONS EN PLEIN COEUR DE LA VILLE: Scénarios d'intervention dans les centres urbains contemporains Irlys Alencar F. Barreira Barreira En vue d'organiser les espaces et de rendre aux centres urbains leur rôle hégémonique perdu, les politiques contemporaines cherchent à promouvoir divers modes d'intervention appelés "revitalisation" ou "requalification". La ville, penchée sur la valorisation de son patrimoine historique devient alors l'objet de travaux de rénovations et de réformes architecturales destinées à la préservation, donnant lieu à des images et à des marques. Réfléchir aux interventions qui ont lieu dans les centres urbains des métropoles contemporaines, y compris aux expériences plus récentes réalisées dans des villes du nord-est, constitue l'objectif principal de cet article. Plutôt que de vouloir faire des évaluations en vue de propositions, l'article analyse les conceptions et les conflits symboliques qui jalonnent les pratiques de "revitalisation". La présence de consommateurs diversifiés de l'espace public (touristes, habitants, commerçants, etc.) et les controverses établies concernant les investissements culturels et économiques serviront de jalon aux idées présentes dans le texte.
