Digital Work

This chapter seeks to outline in a preliminary way the consequences of the pandemic in work in general and especially in digital work in its connection with emotions and the politics of sensibilities. Based on public and private reports and the opinion of experts, some traces are presented here that allow us to reconstruct some changes in the politics of sensibilities that have occurred due to the socio-labour pandemic impact. In this sense, the following argumentative strategy has been developed: 1) the theoretical perspective on the connection between digital and political work of sensibilities is outlined, 2) some of the main consequences of the pandemic at work are synthesized, and 3) brief final openings are given to connect the described scenario and the modifications of the politics of sensibilities.

The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a tool for strategic management that is used in many companies and organizations worldwide, both in the public and private sector. With this purpose it has also been used in healthcare organizations and institutions but there are not many studies on the implementation of BSC methodology in the day-to-day clinical laboratory. This review shows the strategy for the development of a BSC, which includes theoretical perspective objectives, as well as some indicators and goals with which the monitoring and quantitative measurement of the achievements of a strategic plan in a clinical laboratory can be done. Moreover, the results of the indicators allow the prioritization of the initiatives to be implemented each year. The methodology for the development of the proposed BSC includes the following steps: definition of theoretical objectives of each of the perspectives most used in the management of a clinical laboratory (customers, financial, internal processes and learning) taking into account the vision and the organizational model of the laboratory; creation of a strategic map of perspective objectives; definition of the relevant indicators to follow up on the objectives in a quantitative manner and establishment of the goals. Whether or not the laboratory is a reference laboratory, in which specific and infrequent analysis and health population programs are performed, is another fact to take into account. In this review a BSC for a reference clinical laboratory of the Spanish public sector is shown.

This paper explores the degree and nature of sustainability reporting practices of listed banks in Bangladesh in compliance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines. Data are gathered from annual reports through content analysis of 29 banks listed in the Dhaka   Stock   Exchange (DSE) and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) for the period between 2011 and 2018. Stakeholder and legitimacy theory is the theoretical perspective underlying the study. The findings of the study revealed that 0% in 2011 and 17.14% in 2018 disclosed sustainability reports in line with GRI. On the other hand, the disclosure of sustainability information trend has increased from 32% in 2011 to 59% in 2018 considering 22 categories of information where most of the banks disclosed the highest information relating to green banking (C7) least information relating to public policy (C19). The major limitations of the study are the size of the sample, only secondary sources of data, and descriptive. This study only involved 29 listed banks in DSE and CSE. The policymakers (Bangladesh Bank, Ministry of finance, commerce, law, and environment), management of the respective organization, the NGOs, and professional accounting bodies can progress to enact and amend corporate laws for effective sustainable reporting design for the public and private entities. This research recognizes the gap of sustainable reporting practices to implement the vision of 5'ps (people, prosperity, partnership, peace, and the planet) according to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030.

Education In Brazil

This article aims to analyze the process that gave rise to the Innovative Higher Education Program (ProEMI) as a way of understanding the actions taken by public and private actors in the construction of a new project for secondary education in Brazil. The analysis seeks to understand the cognitive and normative framework that gave rise to and legitimized this educational policy, considering that policy is the result of a process of interaction and relations of force. ProEMI is a policy that seeks to transform the public action of managers, teachers, and students in the country's high schools. The study examines the period 2003-2016 and was developed in the cognitive theoretical perspective of public policies, a perspective focused on understanding the formulation and implementation of public policies based on the relationship between politics and the construction of social order and not just as a troubleshooting mechanism. We find that ProEMI originates from the public actions of a number of actors that construct and accept a matrix of interpretation, resulting in the emergence and legitimization of the choice of a public policy that calls for a counterhegemonic high school.

Epistemic Strategies

Fundadora del llamado segundo feminismo histórico chileno, la obra de Julieta Kirkwood presenta una intensa trayectoria por espacios que incluyen el ejercicio académico y el activismo político, buscando establecer un diálogo entre las prácticas democráticas que la sociedad civil luchaba por recuperar en el contexto de la dictadura militar de Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990) y el respeto a los derechos de las mujeres tanto en la vida pública como en la privada. Para Kirkwood, el mejoramiento de la situación de las mujeres era una dimensión ineludible de la recuperación de la democracia, razón por la cual afirmó que “el feminismo enriquece y contribuye a quitar el carácter restrictivo al concepto de liberación social y política, haciéndolo extensivo a las mujeres como grupo específico, y respecto de las cuales bajo enfoques más globales de interpretación histórica, se planteaban formas muy difusas... de ‘emancipación femenina’”. En este trabajo analizo la reflexión feminista elaborada por Julieta Kirkwood en relación al proceso de redemocratización chileno y a la producción y difusión de un conocimiento feminista como tarea crucial para la creación de un nuevo tipo de ciudadanía para mujeres y hombres. Específicamente, reviso los cuadernos de discusión académica que publica en la FLACSO (Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales) de Santiago durante la década de 1980, así como las obras póstumas Feminarios (1987) y Tejiendo rebeldías (1987), con el objetivo de determinar las estrategias epistémicas con las que buscó interrumpir el debate (masculino) sobre la democracia e introducir el feminismo como eje fundamental para una mejor convivencia de todos los chilenos.Julieta Kirkwood, Re-democratización. Chile"There is no democracy without feminism": Julieta Kirkwood, feminist theory and teaching for a new social contract in ChileAbstractFounder of the so-called second historic feminism in Chile, Julieta Kirkwood’s trajectory encompassed academic and political work with the aim of establishing a dialogue between the democratic practices civil society struggled to recover during Augusto Pinochet’s military dictatorship (1973-1990), and the respect for the rights of women in both public and private life. The improvement of women’s situation in the country was, for Kirkwood, an ineludible dimension of the return to democracy, a context in which she believed “feminism contribute[d] to remove the restrictive connotation of social and political liberation as it was understood by global frames of historical interpretation, by making it extensive to women as a specific group and regarding to whom there ha[d] only existed diffuse ideas… for a ‘feminine emancipation’”. In this essay I analize the feminist thought elaborated by Julieta Kirkwood in relation to the redemocratization process in Chile and the production and dissemination of feminist knowledge as a crucial task for creating a new type of citizenship for women and men. I am specifically looking at the notebooks she published at FLACSO (Latin American School of Social Sciences) in Santiago during the 1980s, as well as to her posthumous works Feminarios (1987) and Tejiendo rebeldías (1987), in order to determine her epistemic strategies to interrupt the (male) debate on democracy and to introduce feminism as a fundamental axis for a better coexistence of all Chileans.Julieta Kirkwood’s, Redemocratization.

This article discusses the nature of the capitalist crisis and its effects on the dismantling of the hard achievements of the universal health care entitlement in recent Brazil. It performs an analysis based on the limits of Brazilian state’s action, organically linked to capital movement and its crisis, particularly on ‘legal form’. In order to deepen this subject, it is based on the theoretical perspective of Pachukanis’ General Theory of Law, emphasizing its analysis on the difficult coexistence between public and private law, in order to understand the crisis of the right to health care.

Educational Financing

This paper proposes an overlapping generations model along the lines of the papers by Glomm and Ravikumar (1997). Its aim is to provide a theoretical extension in which we establish, in an original framework, a comparison of public and private educational financing systems in terms of economic growth. The results provide a critique of the literature that suggests that private expenditure will inevitably lead to greater economic growth than a policy of public education.

The Individual

This book seeks to demonstrate that contrary to conventional histories of the discipline, various nineteenth-century writings on Private International Law (PrIL), which focused on the individual, rather than the state, adopted an account of the individual as social and relationally constituted. The book dispels two common assumptions about the nineteenth-century intellectual history of the field: first all individual- and private-law-centered perspectives were overly liberal and individualistic; and second, the association between public and private international law enabled the latter to focus on global public goods and global justice generally. By contrast, the book shows that while many nineteenth-century theories focused on the relationship between public and private international law injected much of the formalism and alleged neutrality of today’s private international law, several individual-centered perspectives adopted a relational, rather than individualistic image of the individual. By recovering academic debates in private international law between the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, the book traces how this “relational internationalist” perspective was misunderstood and eventually disappeared from the memory of the field. Through a detailed analysis of the writings of the three main protagonists of the “relational internationalist” perspective, namely Joseph Story, Carl von Savigny, and Josephus Jitta, the book recovers the analytical foundation of this theoretical perspective with respect to rights, legitimate authority, and the cosmopolitan dimensions of private international law.

Abstract The purpose of this article is to present and analyse public and private signs in the Linguistic Landscape of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Nuuk is a trilingual environment including the indigenous language (West Greenlandic), the former colonial language (Danish), and a global language (English). West Greenlandic is a somewhat unusual case among indigenous languages in colonial and postcolonial settings because it is a statutory national language with a vigorous use. Our analysis examines the use of West Greenlandic, Danish, and English from the theoretical perspective of centre vs. periphery, devoting attention to the primary audiences (local vs. international) and chief functions (informational vs. symbolic) of the signs. As the first investigation into the Greenlandic Linguistic Landscape, our analysis can contribute to research on signs in urban multilingual indigenous language settings.
