This article uses the endogenous growth theory framework to examine long term prospects of the Brazilian economy. It is argued that Brazil's educational system performance is poor even compared with Latin American standards. There are still too many market restrictions and other barriers to trade and technology. Infrastructure services and investments are deficient and the tax system is too unbalanced and complicated. Hence, while these factors persist, is not likely that the country's economy will grow at rates comparable to those experienced two decades ago. (Rev Econ Polit/DÜI)
O texto é uma pequena parte de pesquisas sobre a esquerda brasileira num período compreendido entre 1920/1946. Trata de observações sobre o início das influências do Kornintern no PCB, e de como essas impediram um desenvolvimento dentro do marxismo que pudesse fornecer à organização nacional, uma teoria da revolução que viesse condicionar o partido numa perspectiva histórica-bibliografia.
O texto contém uma análise da relação política e sua possível consciência no seu momento específico compreendido pelo processo eleitoral (Londrina - eleições 92). Como este processo eleitoral em nossos dias, nutre-se de algumas técnicas conhecidas como Marketing Político-Eleitoral, e de como estas, contribuem para uma dinâmica de esvaziamento da vida política propriamente dita. Procura ainda, conectar esse esvaziamento político e suas consequências, com o avanço da concepção neoliberal cujo ápice parece fazer coincidir a política como mais uma manifestação de Mercado.
Este trabalho mostra que nao so a tendencia de longo prazo (de 1970 ate 1993) dos investimentos publicos em infra-estrutura como proporcao do produto e declinante, mas tambem que esta queda vem se acelerando recentemente em todos os setores, acarretando impacto negativo sobre o produto e, se nao for revertida decididamente nos proximos anos, seja atraves de investimentos publicos diretos, parcerias, vendas ou concessoes para o setor privado, a taxa de crescimento do PIB e da produtividade da economia brasileira encontrara limites rigidos em um futuro bem proximo.

O nível de satisfação quotidiana com a democracia tem sido relativamente elevado na juventude portuguesa, sobretudo após a fase de transição para o regime democrático, mas as tendências actuais tendem a revelar uma certa deterioração desse nível de satisfação. Dados recentes de um inquérito realizado mostram que o apoio à ideia de democracia tende a enfraquecer quando aumenta a distância entre o ideal democrático e a realidade concreta do seu exercício, ou seja, a forma como a política é percepcionada pelos jovens. Por esta razão, o artigo explora a questão da aceitação do sistema democrático e das suas regras processuais. Os resultados apontam para o facto dessa aceitação depender das circunstâncias e das relações sociais que enquadram as diferentes situações juvenis. A partir de uma arrumação tipológica, procura-se caracterizar e compreender as atitudes de confiança, de crítica e de distanciamento que se manifestam na juventude portuguesa no limiar do século XXI.
Purpose Through a systematic literature review, this paper aims to endeavor to present a thorough historical perspective on the evolution of employee-based brand equity (EBBE), offering a comprehensive understanding of its development. The study explores the general model, causes and effects of EBBE, as well as the role of culture, leadership and brand management in building EBBE. The paper proposes an integrative framework to understand the interrelationships between the various dimensions of EBBE and offers practical guidelines for future research and the business world.
Design/methodology/approach The paper uses a systematic literature review approach to analyze and synthesize 30 studies on EBBE retrieved from SCOPUS and Web of Science. The analysis involves a thematic and content-based examination of the literature, which is organized into three thematic groups.
Findings The review highlights the importance of EBBE as a driver of organizational performance and success. The paper identifies the evolution of the major themes, trends and debates in the literature and suggests areas for future research. It underscores the need for more qualitative, multi-level and longitudinal research on EBBE, as well as the exploration of the links between EBBE and other forms of brand equity.
Originality/value This paper is one of the first systematic literature reviews of EBBE, offering a comprehensive and integrated view of the existing literature since the beginning of this concept. The paper's originality lies in its proposed integrative framework that captures the interrelationships between the various dimensions of EBBE and provides practical guidelines for future research and the business world.
Resumo O presente trabalho almeja, em uma leitura de Pachukanis, ressaltar a vinculação feita pelo autor entre forma jurídica e forma valor, para, daí, extrair posteriormente a possibilidade fazer uma analogia entre as formas aparentes do valor (valor de troca) e as formas aparentes do direito (momento judicial e momento legislativo), a partir de uma leitura de trechos encontrados na obra Teoria Geral do Direito e Marxismo. Como resultado, torna-se possível colocar em xeque percepções que reduzem a interpretação de Pachukanis a um economicismo de cariz circulacionista, uma vez que valor e direito são vistos como formas centrais à reprodução da sociabilidade capitalista em sua totalidade.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, most workers had to work from home due to the successive lockdowns across European countries. This constraint posed significant challenges to many workers and companies regarding working conditions and work–life balance. Framed by the job demands–resources model (JD–R), the goal of this paper is to examine the association of perceived organizational support (POS) and individual resilience (IR) with work–life balance (WLB) during the COVID-19 pandemic across European countries. This goal is complemented by assessing the role of work-from-home (WFH) as a mediator. Based on a quantitative approach, data were extracted from the second round of the survey "Living, Working, and COVID-19" from Eurofound. A series of regressions using SEM-PLS tested the hypothesis. Findings reveal that WFH negatively influences WLB. POS positively influences WFH and negatively influences WLB when mediated by WFH. IR negatively influences WFH and positively influences WLB when mediated by WFH. These results have essential theoretical implications related to the relations between individual and organizational resources and WLB and practical implications for the management of WFH, namely, the importance of providing adequate organizational resources and promoting the development of individual resources.
Temporary workers already represent a relevant percentage of the total workforce in several European countries. This type of employment is usually associated with more precarious contractual and working conditions. This situation can lead to several negative outcomes in terms of workers' physical and mental health. According to Job Demands-Resources (JD-R), the precarious situation of temporary workers can reduce the number of available resources and lead to mental health problems. This research aims to examine the importance of personal resources—in the form of resilience—with burnout and its three dimensions (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal fulfillment), as a consequence of the job strain generated by this employment. The empirical study follows a quantitative, correlational, and cross-sectional approach. A sample of 2050 individuals participated in the study. Responses were collected through an online questionnaire for Portuguese temporary workers in March 2021. The questionnaire was sent to active temporary workers registered in temporary agencies The hypotheses established through a structural model were tested by the Partial Least Square method. The results show that resilience, as a personal resource, is related to the three dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal fulfillment). As such, personal resources can be considered an important aspect to take into account when managing temporary agency workers' burnout levels. Theoretically, this research contributes to understanding the role of personal resources, especially resilience as an important inhibitor of negative effects on workers' mental health, such as burnout. Empirically, this study contributes to the discussion of the mental health challenges of temporary agency workers, reinforcing the importance of developing strategies to strengthen personal resources as a way to improve mental health.
Analisa-se o impacto sobre os resultados do nascimento de recém-nascidos de trabalhadoras grávidas que foram afetadas pela proibição do fumo em seus locais de trabalho. Analisamos o caso de São Paulo, Brasil, primeiro estado a restringir a lei antifumo em locais fechados em 2009. Nossos achados mostram que a lei melhorou a saúde da gestante, medida pelo aumento do peso médio ao nascer em torno de 28g. Esses efeitos positivos foram mais fortes para grupos relacionados `a gravidez indesejada: mães não casadas e jovens. Essas descobertas, juntamente com a hipótese da origem fetal, indicam que a nova legislação pode ter impactos de bem-estar de longo prazo. ; We explore the impact of the smoke-free law on birth outcomes of the newborn from pregnant workers affected by the legislation. We analyzed the case of S˜ao Paulo, Brazil, the first state to restrict smoke-free law in indoor places in 2009. Our findings show that the law improved infant health, measured by the increase in mean birth weight of around 28g. These positive effects were stronger for groups related to unintended pregnancy: single and young mothers. These findings along with the fetal origins hypothesis indicate that new legislation may have long-term welfare impacts.
