Car style-holon recognition in computer-aided design
2019
Abstract Multi-scale design can presumably stimulate greater intelligence in computer-aided design (CAD). Using the style-holon concept, this paper proposes a computational approach to address multi-scale style recognition for automobiles. A style-holon is both a whole—it contains sub-styles of which it is composed—as well as a part of a broader style. In this paper, we first apply a variable precision rough set-based approach to car evaluation and ranking. Secondly, we extracted and subsequently computed the each car's characteristic lines from the CAD models. Finally, we identified style-holons using the property of a double-headed style-holon. A style-holon is necessarily included in a t…
Some Considerations Regarding the Role and Importance of Talent Management
2018
The fact that human resources are an indispensable, vital resource, is unanimously accepted. Human resources enhance, improve the other resources and stand at the origin of all the performances of the company, of the achievement of its mission and goals. Every organization needs the right and talented people, specialists. Not only does an individual’s talent matter, it makes a difference. It is what grants more value to the company. Successful organizations are the ones that know how to find talented people, how to attract them, how to keep them and, particularly, how to enhance their talents.
Ética y Responsabilidad Social en las alianzas estratégicas. El caso de las alianzas entre entidades lucrativas y no lucrativas
2021
Las alianzas estratégicas han sido herramientas utilizadas por las organizaciones durante años para garantizar su desarrollo empresarial. En las últimas décadas, las demandas más exigentes de la sociedad han propiciado la necesidad de acuerdos de cooperación destinados a la creación de valor no únicamente para los socios implicados, sino también para los diferentes actores de la comunidad. Con esta finalidad, en el entorno actual se lleva a cabo un mayor número de alianzas estratégica entre entidades lucrativas y sin ánimo de lucro. Éstas no solo propician un impacto positivo para los socios a través de una mejora de su imagen o reputación, sino que también son propulsoras del desarrollo so…

DISTRIBUTISM - WAY FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC RECOVERY
2013
As history of the last centuries has shown, the capitalism and the communism are generating economic crisis, in connection with a deeper crisis, i.e. the spiritual crisis, driven by the tendency of man’s massification,, by which his spiritual qualities are strongly tainted over time. Distributism, promoting widespread ownership of productive ownership, is the only economic frame adequate to the anthropology of the person, namely of a true man.
Producción de personas, reproducción de representaciones. Reflexiones sobre dos programas de capacitación en liderazgo
2020
The present paper addresses the question of the role Executive Education performs in the strengthening and reproduction of neoliberal ideology. It aims to critically reflect on the way selected contents and teaching activities operate jointly enabling or inhibiting certain perspectives regarding work in organizations. Two Leadership training programs are analyzed in this article, currently delivered by the two most prestigious business schools in Argentina: IAE Business School, and Torcuato Di Tella Business School. I begin with a general description of each one and proceed analyzing their educational proposals. Finally, the critical review reveals their consistency with a set of social rep…
Mens sana in corpore exhausto. Emociones y gestión de sí en escuelas secundarias del sur global
2020
In recent years, emotional education has become a central element in a series of guidelines on a global scale that have been translated into various state initiatives aimed at education. Thus, Mens sana in corpore exhausto proposes to demonstrate the tension that is expressed between the growing series of discourses on emotional education and the school climate and the exhaustive bodies of teachers and directors of public secondary schools in the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires (RMBA). By way of hypothesis, these policies are considered to work on the bodies of teachers and directors, encouraging them to continue and not stop under the logic of management and self-management that throw …
Memory in action – Performative practices in a dispute about the past: Serbia and Croatia at the turn of the 20th and 21st century
2019
Memory in action – Performative practices in a dispute about the past: Serbia and Croatia at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuryThe article is an attempt to combine in one reflection the elements of two directions of critical thinking: discursive and performative. The starting point of the analysis is the assumption (derived from beliefs common in pre-performative times) that every space (including a city’s territory) can be treated as a text. This means that both static artifacts and activities in a given space communicate a certain message and can be seen as signs or symbols that refer to something outside of them. Our reflection focuses on practices in which the performative potential …
What a maritime history! The uses of maritime history in summer festivals in southern Norway
2009
This is a preprint of an article whose final and definitive form has been published in the Journal of Tourism History 2009 copyright Taylor & Francis. Article available at InformaWorld: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17551820902823259 This paper focuses on the growth of cultural heritage tourism in southern Norway, with a particular focus on maritime history presented at summer festivals during recent years. I will be using newly collected empirical data gathered from two festivals: Kjæmpestaden (Giant Town) in Arendal and Kapernatten (Privateer Night) in Farsund. In 2006 and 2007, both festivals included grand outdoor plays based on the history of the Napoleonic Wars (1807–1814). Since Tordensk…
Retóricas del momento: (per)versiones (mis)antropológicas
2018
Durante la organización del XIV Congreso de Antropología celebrado en Valencia en septiembre de 2017, bajo el lema Antropologías en transformación: sentidos, compromisos y utopías, los miembros del comité organizador dudábamos de cuál podría ser el tópico de la conferencia de clausura y qué insigne personalidad de nuestro campo podría ocupar ese lugar privilegiado. Como no teníamos a nadie en cartel ni tampoco osábamos importunar a algún/a colega con tamaña empresa emprendimos la tarea de crear un personaje ad hoc que reuniera el suficiente atractivo en una ocasión tan connotada. En seguida vimos que la idea ofrecía una oportunidad incomparable para reflexionar de forma crítica sobre la aca…
