Towards an International Economic Security Regime for Alternative Development in Illicit Drug Producing Countries: Exploring International Support fo…
2013
Esta investigación explora la estrategia de la reducción de la oferta dentro del contexto del fenómeno global de las drogas ilícitas. Tiene un enfoque especial en las políticas nacionales e internacionales del desarrollo alternativo y de comercio que pretenden reducir la oferta de plantas narcóticas, drogas y sustancias psicotrópicas a través de políticas de desarrollo económico en países productores. El argumento central de la investigación es que se podría considerar Colombia como un punto de referencia para establecer un régimen internacional eficaz de apoyo transfronterizo para estrategias de desarrollo alternativo para abordar la oferta de drogas ilícitas por el mundo. Este régimen -un…
La responsabilitat social universitària i la construcció d’una societat per a totes les edats
2019
espanolEl presente ensayo ofrece una reflexion sobre el rol que puede ejercer la responsabilidad social universitaria en la construccion de una sociedad para todas las edades, concepto propuesto por Naciones Unidas (1995a; 2003) e inspirado en los principios de respeto, proteccion, solidaridad intergeneracional e inclusion de las personas mayores. Durante anos las personas mayores representaron un grupo minoritario excluido y socialmente estigmatizado. En virtud de los avances cientificos y tecnologicos que han prolongado la vida, el progresivo aumento del numero de aquellas, a nivel mundial, ha suscitado la creacion de politicas en favor del respeto e igualdad social, que frenen la reprodu…
Uwarunkowania parentyfikacji doświadczanej w dzieciństwie i okresie dorastania z perspektywy młodych dorosłych
2016
Parentyfikacja to termin najczęściej zamiennie określany jako odwrócona rola w rodzinie. Mimo że pojęcie to do literatury naukowej weszło już w latach 70., jest to obszar zaniedbany naukowo, którego zarówno przyczyny, jak i mechanizmy powstania nie zostały gruntownie przebadane. W Polsce parentyfikacja opisywana jest marginalnie, nieznana jest ani skala zjawiska, ani jej uwarunkowania oraz konsekwencje. Brakuje również praktycznych wskazań do pracy z rodzinami, w których dochodzi do odwróconej roli rodzicielskiej. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było poznanie skali zjawiska, uwarunkowań parentyfikacji w dzieciństwie i okresie dorastania, jej rodzajów doświadczanych przez młodych dorosłych. W b…
Two decades of discussion on charitable food aid in Finland : analysing the framing by and through the media
2016
Jo kaksi vuosikymmentä virallisen sosiaalipolitiikan rajapinnoilla toiminut ruoka-apu on murrosvaiheessa: Tulisiko toiminta hiljaisen hyväksynnän sijaan tunnustaa, jolloin avun kohdentamista ja järjestämistä voidaan avoimesti kehittää yhdessä kirkon, kunnallisen sosiaalitoimen ja yksityisen sektorin kesken? Onko toiminnan fokus siirtymässä väliaikaiseksi tarkoitetusta akuutin nälän torjunnasta kohti sosiaalipoliittisen ruoka- köyhyyden ja ekologisen ruokahävikin ongelmat yhdistävää ratkaisumallia? Julkisen, yksityisen ja kolmannen sektorin yhteistyönä toteutettavan saksalaisen ruoka-apumallin (Berliner Tafel -ruokapankkiverkosto) rantautuminen Suomeen (Yhteinen Pöytä …
Corporate responsibility in the food chain: The criteria and indicators
2012
Corporate responsibility (CR) is becoming a key issue in the food chain. In order to make sense of this phenomenon, a seminal aper by Maloni and Brown (2006) called for further empirical investigation on the criteria of responsibility in the food supply chain. The purpose of this paper is to answer the call by identifying the criteria for defining CR and develop indicators for measuring the responsibility performance of the food chain. The study was based on interactive and participatory stakeholder dialogues with diverse experts, corporate representatives and other stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and governmental bodies. Through an iterative research process w…
School Staff-centered School Development by Communicative Action: Working Methods for Creating Collective Responsibility - From the Idea to Action
2020
School development is often seen as a concerted (re-)action to educational policies, curriculum development, and change in education laws or regulations, and sometimes, as stakeholders’ reactions to low school performance. Generally, school development incorporates organizational, managerial, and educational activities and measures. This is done to adapt to the new situation to achieve the desired changes and goals initiated by a given curriculum reform. In contrast, this paper focuses on school staff–driven development: It describes how teachers together with paraprofessionals contribute to school-development. Using collective responsibility creating working methods of communication, the e…
How Virtuous is Your Firm? A Checklist
2009
Scholars are noting a change in the way business is being conducted. Many firms --one scholar estimates the number at 15%-- are concerned about values rather than focusing exclusively on maximizing profits. This new kind of capitalism considers factors such as societal needs, quality, needs of employees, and environmental sustainability in business decision making. In addition, a large number of consumers (approximately 70 million Americans), known as values-driven consumers, prefer doing business with companies that have values. This paper provides a checklist that can be used by firms to determine whether or not they are indeed virtuous; if they are not, the authors provide reasons why th…
Els serveis socials municipals en risc de desaparició. L'avantprojecte de Llei de racionalització i sostenibilitat de l'Administració local
2013
This bill endangers the municipal social services system because it deeply modifies the conception thereof (leaning social services towards charity), the distribution of powers (taking competences to the town and city councils) and the public responsibility (encouraging private management and the commercial exploitation thereof). During the last thirty years, the Social Services system had been consolidated throughout Spain, being the proximity to the citizenry its most fundamental value. Such proximity has been achieved thanks to the benefits provided by the town and city councils, which have become the closer public bodies to citizens and their needs with great capacity to understand and …
Feasibility of a Responsibility-Based Leadership Training Program for Novice Physical Activity Instructors
2021
Most coaches and instructors would like to teach more than just sport skills to their athletes and children. However, to promote athletes’ or children’s holistic development and teach them to take responsibility and lead, requires the coaches and instructors to first master the skills themselves. Therefore, feasible, high quality leadership training programs where coaches and physical activity instructors are taught to teach and share leadership are needed. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the feasibility of a leadership training program to optimize it and to determine whether to proceed with its evaluation. In the leadership training program, eight Finnish novice physical activ…
Social Entrepreneurship Discourses and Contributions : A Literature Analysis
2017
Differing from traditional type of entrepreneurship (i.e. business/ commercial entrepreneurship), social entrepreneurship embeds social value creation as its main objective. Recently, social entrepreneurship research is gaining popularity; meanwhile, ethics within social enterprises have not been comprehensively analyzed and debated. How to teach and train social entrepreneurs has also become a point of pedagogical significance. With a critical review of extant literature related to social entrepreneurship, a series of concepts emanate. We categorized our findings into three conceptual groups – ethics, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and sustainability. Based on a qualitative meta-an…
