Social Bricolage as the Path to Social Entrepreneurship
2021
In the present chapter, the concept of social bricolage is applied to the particular case of Dr. Mateo. A contextualization of her environment is exposed, for the reader to understand the intrinsic and extrinsic motivators explained in Part I. These influences represent the starting point of her professional career. Dr. Mateo’s interests have always been placed in advancing local solutions for local problems. In Pilar’s case, the phenomenon of entrepreneurship began as an act of seeking economic solvency and survival through her ingenuity, creativity, and innovation. Similarly, the phenomenon of causation-related bricolage predominates, in which the process of incessant experimentation fost…
Bricolage in the marketing efforts of a social enterprise
2016
Purpose The paper aims to understand how resource constraints are addressed in the development of a marketing strategy by a social enterprise. Design/methodology/approach The authors have used an in-depth case study of collaboration between a Finnish university and an Indian social enterprise as the methodology for the research in which the data were collected over a period of two years. The data involve semi-structured interviews, field notes and student reports. Findings The authors propose bricolage as a method of marketing ingenuity in resource-constrained social enterprises. Network bricolage and entrepreneurship education bricolage were identified as two mechanisms adopted to address…
Spanish Darwinian iconography: Darwin and evolutionism portrayed in Spanish press cartoons.
2013
The theory of evolution has played a major role in the press since it was put forward by Charles Darwin in 1859. Its key role in biology and human philosophy is reflected by its presence in press cartoons, sections where the image of social reality is depicted in a more direct and satirical light. Through cartoons, artists have used their ingenuity or wit to portray one of the most controversial scientific figures of the past two centuries. This study examines the views portrayed by Spanish cartoonists about Charles Darwin and evolutionary theory in 2009, the bicentenary of the naturalist’s birth and the celebration of 150 years since the publication of On the Origin of Species. These cart…
Histochemistry of the Mitochondrial System
1964
It has been customary to introduce any discussion on the mitochondrion by summing up its functions as the energy center of the cell. Because of the extensive reviews and symposia in this field in recent years such an introduction would be repetitious and will therefore be omitted. — The relative ease by which mitochondria can be isolated from various cells and the considerable purity of such fractions permitted an analysis of the overall functions of mitochondria and the extrapolation of these results, on a statistical basis, to a single mitochondrion. Further fragmentation of isolated mitochondria into sub-units that carry segments of the functional activity of the whole organelle signific…
Monográfico. Cine: Arte e industria. [DOI:10.37785/nw.v4n2.a6]
2020
En 1895, en plena segunda revolución industrial, el cine emprendió su andadura con la patente del “cine- matógrafo” de los hermanos Lumière, un ingenio que, gracias a un procedimiento mecánico, permitía no solo la captación de imágenes “reales” –como lo hiciera en su momento la fotografía, pero esta vez añadiéndoles movimiento– sino también la proyección de esa continuidad de imágenes impresionadas. No cabe la menor duda de que con el objeto nació una industria, item est, una actividad lucrativa que explotaba la novedosa invención técnica con el fin de producir bienes comerciables que ofertar a la ociosa sociedad burguesa de finales del s. XIX y principios del s. XX. Rápid…
Functional annotation of genes overlapping copy number variants in autistic patients: focus on axon pathfinding.
2010
We have used Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analyses to uncover the common functions associated to the genes overlapping Copy Number Variants (CNVs) in autistic patients. Our source of data were four published studies [1- 4]. We first applied a two-step enrichment strategy for autism-specific genes. We fished out from the four mentioned studies a list of 2928 genes overall overlapping 328 CNVs in patients and we first selected a sub-group of 2044 genes after excluding those ones that are also involved in CNVs reported in the Database of Genomic Variants (enrichment step 1). We then selected from the step 1-enriched list a sub-group of 514 genes each of which was found to be deleted or dupli…
Money in the "Body Politick" : The Analysis of Trade and Circulation in the Writings of Seventeenth-Century Political Arithmeticians.
2005
International audience; This article discusses the analysis of trade and circulation in the writings of seventeenth-century political arithmeticians. Political arithmetic was in its way an anatomy of the social body. William Petty titled his 1672 book The Political Anatomy of Ireland. In his preface he explicitly claimed to be following Francis Bacon, highlighting the experimental method and the idea that analytical methods can be transposed from one discipline to another. He thus drew a parallel between the natural body and the body politic. It was a widely held idea that money guaranteed the nation's health; conversely its poor state of health could lead to the wasting away of the body po…
