El entorno de desarrollo del talento está compuesto por los aspectos psicológicos, sociales y fisiológicos, más allá de las condiciones físicas y materiales que influyen en dicho desarrollo, dentro y fuera del mundo deportivo. El objetivo de este estudio era verificar si el contexto del atletismo brasileño puede ser un elemento propulsor o inhibidor del desarrollo de los atletas. Para ello, se entrevistó a 19 deportistas de ambos sexos, de las categorías de menores de 18 años y menores de 20 años, y a cinco directivos de cinco equipos de entre los 35 mejores clasificados por resultados en las competiciones celebradas en 2015, 2016 y 2017. El modelo de entrevista se basó en los siete factores presentes en el Cuestionario del Entorno de Desarrollo de Talentos, preparado por Martindale. El modelo de análisis se basó en la teoría bioecológica de Bronfenbrenner, que busca analizar el desarrollo humano a través de procesos próximos, las características de las personas, el contexto y el tiempo. Las teorias utilizadas consideran el entorno del talento de forma generalizada. Entre los resultados obtenidos, se encontró que las principales diferencias presentes entre los contextos, tanto para los atletas como para los directivos, se encuentran en las estructuras físicas y humanas. Los equipos que presentaron mejores resultados son los que cuentan con un mayor número de profesores y una mejor infraestructura y, por lo tanto, pueden atender a un mayor número de atletas. Se concluye que el entorno de desarrollo impacta el rendimento desportivo y la progresión que tendrá el desportista en su carrera. The environment for the development of talent is composed of psychological, social and physiological aspects, beyond the physical and material conditions that influence such development, inside and outside the world of sport. The aim of this study was to verify if the context of Brazilian athletics can be a propelling or inhibiting element in the development of athletes. For this reason, 19 athletes of both sexes were interviewed, in the categories of under-18 and under-20, and five managers of five teams among the 35 best classified by results in the competitions held in 2015, 2016 and 2017. The interview model was based on the seven factors in the Talent Development Environment Questionnaire, created by Martindale. The analysis model was based on Bronfenbrenner's bioecological theory, which seeks to analyse human development through proximate processes, people's characteristics, context and time. The theories used consider the talent environment in a generalized way. Among the results obtained, it was found that the main differences present between the contexts, both for athletes and managers, are in the physical and human structures. The teams that presented the best results are those that have a greater number of teachers and a better infrastructure and, therefore, can serve a greater number of athletes. It is concluded that the development environment impacts sports performance and the progression that the athlete will have in his career. O ambiente de desenvolvimento do talento é composto pelos aspectos psicológicos, sociais e fisiológicos, além das condições físicas e materiais que influenciam o desenvolvimento do talento dentro e fora do mundo esportivo. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se o contexto do atletismo brasileiro pode ser um elemento propulsor ou inibidor do desenvolvimento dos atletas. Para tal, foram entrevistados 19 atletas homens e mulheres, das categorias sub-18 e sub-20, e cinco gestores de cinco equipes classificadas entre as 35 equipes melhores ranqueadas por resultados em competições realizadas nos anos de 2015, 2016 e 2017. O modelo de entrevista se baseou nos sete fatores presentes no questionário Talent Development Environment Questionnaire, elaborado por Martindale. O modelo de análise utilizou como base a teoria Bioecológica de Bronfenbrenner, que busca analisar o desenvolvimento humano por meio dos processos proximais, das características das pessoas, do contexto e do tempo. As teorias utilizadas consideram o ambiente de talentos de forma generalizada. Dentre os resultados obtidos, foi constatado que as principais diferenças presentes entre os contextos, tanto para atletas quanto para gestores, estão nas estruturas física e humana. As equipes que apresentam melhores resultados são as equipes que contam com número maior de professores e melhor infraestrutura e, logo, podem atender um número maior de atletas. Conclui-se que o ambiente de desenvolvimento impacta no desempenho esportivo e na progressão que o atleta terá em sua carreira.

Central Purpose

This book, comprised of 13 chapters, presents papers which discuss the processes related to the career along one’s life cycle, from adolescents’ professional choices until processes of retirement. Notwithstanding the diversity of life and work contexts, present in the different chapters, they all somewhat correspond in their central purpose, presenting both perspectives and challenges related to contemporary career interventions. Some chapters address themes that are still seldom explored in national literature, while others discuss subjects that are long established in the area, however they are innovative. The authors study them in the context of changes in the world of work in the second decade of the 21st century, of the new career models and psychosocial processes that are linked to human development throughout life. The studies and practices in vocational guidance, career development and retirement, included in this book, are the results of research and practice in recent years carried out by professionals, professors and academics that in different ways have collaborated with the activities of LIOP - Laboratory of Information and Professional Guidance, at the Federal University of Santa Catarina.

The Indo-Pacific region is an area adjacent to some oceans and the gateway that connects the great power and small countries to the world; this region is always considered by Vietnam as a key strategic geographic area, having direct impacts on national security, position and its role in this region. While big powers have different perceptions to the Indo-Pacific region, as a country occupying an important geographic position in the Pacific region, Vietnam shares a common vision of an open and rule-based area, and a common interest in maintaining peace, stability and prosperity as well as building a common space for coexistence and development with the belief that the Indo-Asian-Pacific is large enough for every nation to grow and prosper. This article finds out that recent changes in the Indo-Pacific region in geopolitics, economics, security and national defence have made many countries, including Vietnam, to redefine their global and regional policies to refresh their strategic perceptions. Vietnam has its own perception, position, approach and national orientations, which is shaping its state behaviour and perspectives in this geopolitical vibrant Indo-Pacific region. Besides, this article uses the SWOT analysis model to determine the challenges, strengths and weaknesses of Vietnam in the Indo-Pacific region. Moreover, while the future of the Indo-Pacific in a post-COVID-19 pandemic world remains filled with uncertainty and economic challenges, the crisis also presents an opportunity for Vietnam to re-evaluate its position. Today, Vietnam always maintains its foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralism and diversification of international relations, which attaches great importance to enhancing multi-faceted cooperation with countries in the Indo-Pacific region. Thus, with its own perception and geostrategic advantage, Vietnam—a developing country in the region and in the world with relatively stable economic growth, pursuing rules and order will be a positive factor for a stable, peaceful and prosperous development in the region.

The Way

This article addresses the work of the German artist Hannah Höch in the light of the struggle for abortion rights in the Weimar Republic. I attempt to show how Höch’s uses of the technique of photomontage can be read as a way of introducing a distance between the work and the viewer that allows us to question the beliefs we use to make sense of the world. Specifically, I discuss her photomontage Mutter (‘Mother’), a version of a photograph taken by John Heartfield, and some of her writings and interviews. I also examine closely the material conditions and political debates in which Höch’s work – as a social practice – developed. After a brief introduction and a methodological outline, I present Höch in the context of Berlin Dada and summarise the main underlying arguments of my hypothesis. Namely, that the major interest of Höch’s photomontages lies in the complex articulation of activism and philosophy, and in the way in which they put mainstream categories into question by ‘distancing’ fragments of reality.

AbstractWith a global extent, the pandemic of the new coronavirus and the resulting measures to contain the contagion imposed immediate changes in the routine of people and societies. In view of this historical event, the first part of this theoretical study discussed its relationship with the concept of crisis, while circumscribing human development processes, mobilizing reorganizations in life trajectories. In the second part, the intensification of the use of digital tools to support communication during social isolation was highlighted, particularly reflecting on new interactive arrangements and inter-corporeal experiences. The paper reflects on the proximal processes in the new interactive and contextual configurations through the bioecological theory of human development and, based on concepts of the enactive theory, discusses possible implications of the new perceptual fields and the production of meanings with the repositioning of the body and new modes of engagement. The study highlights that the changes, events, relationships, and effects that we are experiencing (trans)form our forms of sociability and bases of psyche.

The Problem It has been argued correctly that of all the resources that nations are endowed with including physical resources such as land, gas, oil, mineral resources, and financial resources, the most durable resource is people. It is also a truism that regions endowed with large populations such as Brazil, China, and India are now emerging nations with very strong and growing economies. As the world of work changes globally, the demand for talent development is becoming one of the greatest opportunities for profit and nonprofit organizations in emerging economies such as Kenya. Africa with its young and educated population and its competition for talent poses both opportunities and challenges as the continent tries to address this critical component. Nowhere is this opportunity for talent development (TD) more urgent than in Kenya. The Solution Given the rising of Africa’s youth population and the need to develop talent in this region of the world, there is no easy or ready-made solution to guide human resource development (HRD) researchers and practitioners and policy makers in developing and optimally utilizing Africa’s best resource—its people. However, this article seeks to demonstrate how strategic planning and provision of quality education are the best form of intervention for TD in Africa. The fact that individuals have talent is not sufficient, hence the importance of developing talent through learning. Thus, learning requires well-designed quality education and training programs that can lead to people being open to new ideas and a disposition to question what people already know. This is even more seminal especially in the fast-changing technology-controlled workplace. The Stakeholders Human resource officers, learning and development officers, Directors of Human Resource Management, HRD researchers, HRD practitioners.

AbstractPsychodynamic theory and practice has evolved from its psychoanalytic roots. The modern psychodynamic approach is among the most inclusive and versatile schools of thought available to therapists. With both cross-cultural application and a growing evidence base, psychodynamic therapy is practiced in many countries and cultures around the world. The dynamic approach is a system that touches on human development, personality, mental disorders, and of course, therapy. This article presents an overview of contemporary dynamic theory, its underlying philosophy, and its main objectives.

The holistic ecological approach puts an emphasis on the environment in which prospective elite athletes develop. Applying the holistic ecological approach, this article examines talent development among male under-19 football players at Ajax Amsterdam which has a history of successfully developing several of its juniors to top-level international players. Principal methods of data collection include interviews, participant observations of daily life in the environment, and analysis of documents. The environment was centred around the relationship between players and a clubhouse community consisting of a team of coaches, teachers, experts, and managers that helped the players to focus on: Handling dual careers (sport and school), developing mental toughness, social skills and work ethic. Furthermore, the environment was characterised by a strong, open, and cohesive organisational culture based on each player as an investment, social responsibility and individual development before winning matches. We argue that the holistic ecological approach holds the potential to inspire coaches and practitioners to be sensitive to and analyse not only the individual player’s athletic development but also the overall strategies and organisational settings, in the talent development environment.

O desenvolvimento humano dos países se trata de um tema em destaque que exige ações governamentais para a melhoria da qualidade de vida de seus cidadãos. O problema de dimensionar este desenvolvimento frente às ações de governo determina o objetivo de analisar a existência de correlação entre os indicadores de governança dos países calculados pelo Banco Mundial (WGI) com o índice de desenvolvimento humano calculado pela Organização das nações Unidas (IDH). Para investigar essa hipótese foram efetuadas análises de correlação entre o IDH e as seis dimensões de governança do WGI. Os resultados da pesquisa confirmam a existência de significativa correlação positiva entre o IDH e o WGI, estabelecendo assim o entendimento da complementariedade destes indicadores, e a possibilidade de sua utilização no estabelecimento de ações governamentais.Palavras-chave: Governança dos países.

Dea Approach

Purpose This paper aims to assess the efficiency levels of World Cup teams via the slack-based data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach, which contributes to filling an important gap for performance measurement in football. Design/methodology/approach This study focuses on a comparative analysis of the past two World Cups. The authors initially estimate the efficiency of the World Cup teams via the slack-based DEA approach, which is a novel approach for sports performance measurement. The authors also present the conventional DEA results to compare results. The authors also include improvement ratios, which provide significant details for inefficient countries to enhance their efficiency. Besides, the authors include effectiveness ratings to present a complete performance overview of the World Cup teams. Findings According to the analysis results of the slack-based DEA approach, titleholder Germany and France are found as efficient teams in the 2014 and 2018 World Cup, respectively. Besides, Belgium and Russia recorded the highest efficiency improvement in the 2018 World Cup. The novel approach for sports performance measurement, the slack-based DEA approach, significantly overlaps with the actual performance of teams. Originality/value This study presents novelty in football performance by adopting the slack-based DEA with an undesirable output model for the performance measurement of the World Cup teams. This empirical analysis would be a pioneer study measuring the performance of football teams via the slack-based DEA approach.
