Participatory Ergonomics: A Model for the Prevention of Occupational Musculoskeletal Disorders
2009
La ergonomía participativa es una estrategia de intervención sobre los riesgos por carga física en los lugares de trabajo escasamente conocida en España, aunque en otros países se cuenta con numerosas experiencias y evidencias en este campo. Son varias las razones que justifican su interés. En primer lugar, aborda una de las categorías de riesgos laborales que mayor impacto tiene sobre la salud de los trabajadores en la mayoría de países, tanto en términos de incidencia, como de prevalencia o incapacidad. En segundo lugar, el principio básico de la ergonomía participativa es la capacitación de los trabajadores para que participen tanto en la identificación de los riesgos y daños a la salud …
Vapauden kapea polku : István Bibón julkinen moralismi
2017
The task of this study is to listen to the moral voice of István Bibó, a Hungarian democrat. Listening to past ‘voices’ is an approach of intellectual history introduced by Stefan Collini, who has eavesdropped on the conversations of ‘public moralists’ in the British intellectual life from the period c. 1850–1950. What has been translated of and written on Bibó’s thought in Hungary – irrespective of a couple of notable exceptions not much is found abroad – is very ‘Hungarian’ in tone in particular, note the very productive workshop (Bibó Szellemi Műhely), whereas I have tried independently to develop Collini’s approach. Instead of uncovering the meanings of ideas and concepts in the context…

Maldivas y el delicado equilibrio entre India y China
2019
Maldivas es la nación más pequeña de Asia Meridional en términos de población, superficie y PBI. A pesar de ello, este pequeño archipiélago tiene una gran importancia estratégica, en virtud de su ubicación en medio de las rutas marítimas internacionales del océano Índico, y en su cercanía a las costas de la India. La propuesta de este artículo es exponer los cambios que se produjeron en Maldivas durante la presidencia de Abdulla Yameen en cuanto a la política interna, como así también a las relaciones exteriores, y observar en qué momento estas dos tendencias se cruzan para formar parte de una misma trama. A su vez, analizar finalmente las consecuencias que esto tiene para el país y para la…

Wewnętrzne podziały i opozycja wewnątrzpartyjna w Socjaldemokratycznej Partii Niemiec w drugiej połowie XX wieku
2016
The Social Democratic Party of Germany was (and still is) a political party, in which the existence of different informal groups and clubs (performing the function of the Opposition inside the party) is admissible. After the end of the war and the return of the SPD to a legał activity, there followed - within it - a revival of not only old structures, but also that of old divisions into the leit wing and the right wing, which referred to the ideas of revisionism and questions of reforms capable of changing or maintaining the capitalist political system. With time, there formed two main wings among the democrats: the right wing - known as Kanalarbeiter, and later on Seeheimer Kreis, and the …
"The Dutch Legacy in the Indonesian Parliament"
2013
th century; Parliamentary procedure Abstract The Indonesian parliament, the DPR, today presents its similar characteristics as the Dutch parliament in the 19 th century. The historical trajectories show that when establishing the core of the parliament institution, the founding fathers copied what the colonial government had been practiced, and maintained during the authoritarian regime in Indonesia, accordingly the Dutch legacy lingered. Consequently, in the wave of democratic era, after the fall of the authoritarian president, the same institution should have adapted itself into a more democratic institution, but remained weak due to its outdated characteristics. This paper shows the hist…
Prefazione

Most researches in Constitutional Law and many politicians assume that democracy is in danger because a lack of political participation by citizens. The aim of this brief paper is to demonstrate the value of political participation of citizens in a democratic system. The Articles 1st, 2nd, 48th and 49th of the Italian Constitution will be examined in this paper, including the speech of members of the Italian Constitutional Assembly, Aldo Moro (1947) and Pietro Calamandrei (1955). As a result, democracy, which is strongly linked with the citizens’ political participation, will emerge. Finally, it is necessary to assume the presence of citizens in the political debate, to render democracy ali…
INCLUSIVE DECISION MAKING: THE ONLINE COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGN AS AN EXAMPLE OF PARTICIPATIVE POLICY
2022
For decades, national states have confronted various challenges to the democratic form of government. In such a highly complex frame, the question is, can public participation to policymaking still be a way to reach a more effective governance? In this chapter, I will attempt to demonstrate how inclusive bottom-up decision-making could improve the results of single projects and of wider European public policies. In the first part, I describe the European frame in which inclusive policymaking was born; then, in the second part, I analyse the Oltre project and its results as an example of participatory practices.
