Resumen: el objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar teórica y conceptualmente sobre el territorio y su resignificación en la construcción de la sustentabilidad. Se hace referencia a la teoría de sistemas complejos, desde un enfoque constructivista, y de la geografía y la ecología política, como aproximación a las nociones de apropiación territorial, territorialización, desterritorialización y reterritorialización. La discusión deductiva de cinco tesis concluye con un postulado que retoma la propuesta de Gunderson y Holling (2002), para explicar los procesos adaptativos de los sistemas socioterritoriales, los cuales están mediados a partir de cadenas dialógicas. Actualmente, desde los movimientos sociales emergentes, se tejen innovaciones que recrean de manera híbrida conceptos como diversidad, autonomía, equidad y sustentabilidad. Ello permite resignificar el diálogo político del paradigma por el territorio entre los espacios de esperanza –redes antisistémicas–, los exclusivos –redes globalizadas– y los de desesperanza –espacios fragmentados–.Palabras clave: territorialización; movimientos socioterritoriales; sustentabilidad; ecología política; globalización; sistemas sociales. From Reclus to Harvey, territory resignification in the construction of sustainabilityAbstract: the purpose of this article is to theoretically and conceptually reflect on the territory and its resignification in the construction of sustainability. It refers to the complex systems theory from a constructivist approach, and to geography and political ecology as an approximation to the notions of territorial appropriation, territorialisation, deterritorialisation and reterritorialisation. Deductive discussion of five theses concludes with a postulate that takes up Gunderson and Holling’s proposal (2002) so as to explain the adaptive processes of the socio-territorial systems, which are mediated through dialogic chains. Nowadays, the emerging social movements generate innovations that in a hybrid way recreate concepts such as diversity, autonomy, equity and sustainability. It enables to resignify the political dialogue of the paradigm through the territory among the spaces of hope (antisystemic networks), the exclusive ones (globalized networks) and the ones of despair (fragmented spaces).Key words: territorialisation; socio-territorial movements; sustainability; political ecology; globalization; social systems.

Systems Simulation

The theory of systems is presented as an operational theory that can be used to modelize the structure of technical or social systems. Simulation and optimalization techniques can be used to operate this model on a computer for analyzing different scenarios. A recent study of the economy of energy and of the particular role of hydrogen is presented as an example of such a use of the theory of systems in the studies on prospective.

Business: Conceptualizations of Organizational Change Viewed Through the Lens of Power: A Tutorial for the Speech-Language Pathologist/Audiologist Administrator

Or Organization

Both educational and health care organizations are in a constant state of change, whether triggered by national, regional, local, or organization-level policy. The speech-language pathologist/audiologist-administrator who aids in the planning and implementation of these changes, however, may not be familiar with the expansive literature on change in organizations. Further, how organizational change is planned and implemented is likely affected by leaders' and administrators' personal conceptualizations of social power, which may affect how front line clinicians experience organizational change processes. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to introduce the speech-language pathologist/audiologist-administrator to a research-based classification system for theories of change and to review the concept of power in social systems. Two prominent approaches to change in organizations are reviewed and then discussed as they relate to one another as well as to social conceptualizations of power.

Forms Of Knowledge

Educational strategies are designed to cope with and fulfill the multifarious pedagogical and educational needs of teachers and learners. Moreover, no educational plan can possibly yield the required results without incorporating suitable instructive strategies. This research paper advocates the role and importance of schemas in learning new forms of knowledge and data in the perspective of class room teaching-learning. Cognitive approach is adopted to understand how students learn new forms of knowledge and experiences through different mental processes, quite unlike that of behaviorism. The concept of schema helps us understand how learners can link new pieces of information to the already existing knowledge in their minds. The notion of ‘Constructivist Approach’ has been extracted from the field of educational psychology for triangulation. Extracts are taken from the textbooks of English used in matriculation and intermediate through purposive sampling. Their analysis shows that schemas can play a vital role in enhancing the learning experience and making new forms of knowledge a permanent part of the memory of students which is the ultimate goal of education.

Large Groups

Group size in primates is strongly correlated with brain size, but exactly what makes larger groups more ‘socially complex’ than smaller groups is still poorly understood. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and gorillas (Gorilla gorilla) are among our closest living relatives and are excellent model species to investigate patterns of sociality and social complexity in primates, and to inform models of human social evolution. The aim of this paper is to propose new research frameworks, particularly the use of social network analysis, to examine how social structure differs in small, medium and large groups of chimpanzees and gorillas, to explore what makes larger groups more socially complex than smaller groups. Given a fission-fusion system is likely to have characterised hominins, a comparison of the social complexity involved in fission-fusion and more stable social systems is likely to provide important new insights into human social evolution

The Impact

The value delivered by design thinking is almost always seen to be improvements in the creativity and usefulness of the solutions produced. This paper takes a broader view of the potential power of design thinking, highlighting its role as a social technology for enhancing the productivity of conversations for change across difference. Examined through this lens, design thinking can be observed to aid diverse sets of stakeholders’ abilities to work together to both produce higher order, more innovative solutions and to implement them more successfully. In this way, it acts as a facilitator of the processes of collectives, by enhancing their ability to learn, align and change together. This paper draws on both the author’s extensive field research on the use of design thinking in social sector organizations, as well as on the literature of complex social systems, to discuss implications for both practitioners and scholars interested in assessing the impact of design thinking on organizational performance.
