Escritura y ciudad en María Zambrano : reencuentro de una amistad perdida tras la derrota sufrida
2015
En este trabajo abordamos la reflexión que sobre el acto del escribir y la escritura realiza María Zambrano en sus escritos "Del escribir" y "Por qué se escribe", para relacionarlos con uno de los espacios más importantes para la pensadora: la ciudad. Aunque Zambrano no desarrolló una "teoría" sobre la ciudad propiamente dicha, su significado e imagen se encuentran en gran parte de su obra. La escritura, como logos que existe físicamente en el mundo, construye la ciudad: ese lugar de la palabra y de la libre expresión que nos protege. Una ciudad que parece derrotada ante la desaparición del pensamiento creativo, no instrumental, en el espacio público y que exige su reencuentro.
Historical competencies and narratives: the historical thinking of students and pre-service teachers
2015
Se analizan las competencias de pensamiento histórico de estudiantes españoles de bachillerato y del Máster de Profesorado, y sus narrativas sobre historia de España. Se utilizan métodos cualitativos para identificar: a) su pensamiento histórico, que comprende conocimientos sustantivos y uso de metaconceptos; b) en cuanto a sus narrativas, la gradación cognitiva (taxonomía SOLO) y el sujeto narrativo utilizado. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los estudiantes de secundaria no utilizan metaconceptos. La complejidad del pensamiento histórico del profesorado en formación está relacionada con el empleo de contenidos sustantivos. Los resultados apuntan a la necesidad de mejorar la educa…
L'uomo e il suo ambiente nella Grecia antica: per una "ecopoiesi"
2017
The modern concept of “nature” was born in the XVIIIth Century: a nature as object, submitted to man’s reason. A long traditon sees the origin of the modern notion of nature in the Greek phúsis. To go from phúsis invites us on the contrary to be critical towards the modern paradigm of a nature opposed to culture. Actually the domination of nature and the exploitation by man of what are for us “natural resources” is at the core of the ideological, economical and financial model imposed on us by neoliberal capitalism. This model shapes and destroys the communities of men as well as their environments. To face anthropologically the Greek phúsis invites us to break off with a technological capi…
Complexity and Action: Reflections on Decision Making and Cybernetics.
2013
This paper highlights some theoretical and epistemological reflections about the relevance of action for managerial studies. These reflections show how the cybernetic paradigm of complexity management can be used for better decision making that unites knowledge and action in a comprising, dynamic, and evolving approach. Cybernetics can help to overcome the fear of decision making in the face of uncertainty in complex scenarios, and can be an effective tool for improving the viability and competitiveness of firms in the twenty-first century.
Come pensiamo noi antropologi? Per nugoli di polvere e brezze d’aria
2015
In front of my window, at home, I am dusting some books and, by doing it, I think of some possible ways to capture my stream of consciousness. What is my ambition? By connecting a simple and daily life action (dusting) to the general and pervading act of thinking, I try to do an anthropology of daily life and of thinking.
Technology-Supported Guidance Models Stimulating the Development of Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Systematic R…
2020
BackgroundCritical thinking is an essential skill that nursing students need to develop. Technological tools have opened new avenues for technology-supported guidance models, but the challenges and facilitators of such guidance models, as well as how they stimulate the development of critical thinking, remain unclear.ObjectiveWe developed a protocol for a mixed methods systematic review to investigate the use of technology-supported guidance models that stimulate the development of critical thinking in nursing education clinical practice.MethodsA convergent integrated design following the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual for Evidence Synthesis will be employed. A pair of authors will select t…
SUP R DSS: A sustainability-based decision support & system for road pavements
2019
Road pavement community members are increasingly becoming aware of the need to incorporating the principles of sustainable development into the sector. Policies are also going in this direction and as a consequence in the recent years researchers and practitioners are coming up with new materials, technologies and practices designed to reduce the negative impacts of their activities in the surroundings. Within this framework the road pavements sector is witnessing a paradigm shift towards the development of pavement technologies incorporating high-content of recycled materials, as well as best practices to decrease the overall carbon footprint. These are all promising solutions that to the …
Systems Thinking and Sustainability in Organisations
2015
This set of articles arises from a series of conferences (Business Systems Laboratory Symposia, 2013-2015) and in particular from the 2nd Business systems Laboratory International Symposium, Rome 2014 with the theme ‘Systems Thinking for a Sustainable Economy’, concerned with systems thinking and its relations with sustainable management, where the relevance of systems thinking was demonstrated. The current period of our global society is characterised by intense transformations in the competitive logics of organisations, markets, and, generally speaking, society. Social circumstances today are typified by dynamism, connectivity, nonlinearity, and emergent properties — in other words by ‘co…
The supermarket of future
2020
As the last trends demonstrate, the supermarket of the near future will change face. Here, we will find only high-quality products, belonging to the category of ‘fresh’ and purchasable by smartphone. The packaged products, belonging to the category of ‘dry’, will be more conveniently purchasable on-line. Therefore, cash-registers and the areas before cash-registers will disappear at the entrance and the exit of supermarket. And most of physical space of the today supermarket will be useless. Here is the problem – nowadays the space ingeniously designed of the area before cash-register yields 30% of the whole profit of the supermarket, thank to the irrational buying. How will the supermarket…
