La amistad y el amor en el epistolario de Séneca
2008
Joaquin.Beltran@uv.es El motivo por el que nos hemos decidido a estudiar en un mismo trabajo la amistad y el amor no es otro que histórico, por la conocida ambigüedad en la que se movían los primitivos filósofos griegos y, además, para llegar a saber la posición concreta de Séneca. Ello nos ha llevado a intentar codificar su pensamiento sobre la amistad y el amor en relación, sobre todo, con Aristóteles y Cicerón. Así, hemos intentado demostrar que Séneca ha unido a los conceptos de amistad e incluso amor otras ideas nuevas, que le dan un aire diferente, como la de solidaridad, asociación o sociedad, y que nos inducen a pensar en una definición afirmativa y muy positiva de la amistad frente…
THE SHAPLEY-SOLIDARITY VALUE FOR GAMES WITH A COALITION STRUCTURE
2013
A value for games with a coalition structure is introduced, where the rules guiding cooperation among the members of the same coalition are different from the interaction rules among coalitions. In particular, players inside a coalition exhibit a greater degree of solidarity than they are willing to use with players outside their coalition. The Shapley value is therefore used to compute the aggregate payoffs for the coalitions, and the solidarity value to obtain the payoffs for the players inside each coalition.
Índice de Capacidades Asociativas : construcción teórica y propuesta metodológica de cálculo para organizaciones de economía solidaria
2018
La construcción del concepto de capacidades asociativas y el diseño de una metodología para calcular sus índices, han sido la razón principal de este estudio que tomó como unidad de análisis a la nacionalidad Tsáchila. Este grupo poblacional indígena está radicado en el cantón de Santo Domingo en Ecuador, y posee limitaciones económicas, organizacionales, educacionales y culturales que ponen en riesgo su conservación étnica. Al aplicar la investigación sobre capacidades asociativas en la nacionalidad Tsáchila, se pretendió identificar las fortalezas y las debilidades presentes en las relaciones económicas de solidaridad de este grupo étnico, de manera que puedan invertir su situación defici…
Germany: Where Have We Been?
2012
Germany’s health system organization is based on three major principles: compulsory insurance, compulsory contributions from both employers and employees and solidarity. A vast majority of German citizens follow the idea that health risks should be shared collectively by the community of all insured persons [9]. Irrespective of the amount each person had paid into the social system, all have access to comprehensive coverage. In order to understand Germany’s peculiarities in health policy, this chapter provides an introduction into Germany’s model of health care and then discusses which kinds of resource allocation strategies already have evolved. The second chapter deals with prospects for …
The Program of Health Volunteer Promoters for OlderAdults: The Well-Being of the Volunteers at Leisure Time
2018
The study of ageing processes has gained increased attention in recent years, partly due to the growth of this population group (United Nations, World population prospects: The 2015 revision. New York: United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. https://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/publications/files/key_findings_wpp_2015.pdf. Accessed 25 Sep 2016, 2015). Research into this area has focused on older adult well-being (Au et al, Clinical Gerontologist 38:203–210, 2015) and the identification of factors having an influence on well-being at this stage of the life cycle (Carstensen, Current Directions in Psychological Science 4:151–156, 1995). These lines of research have emphasized the con…
Decentralization, the State and Conflicts over Local Boundaries in Northern Ghana
2006
Decentralization projects, such as that initiated by the Rawlings government in Ghana at the end of the 1980s, create a political space in which the relations between local political communities and the state are re-negotiated. In many cases, the devolution of power intensifies special-interest politics and political mobilization aiming at securing a ‘larger share of the national cake’, that is, more state funds, infrastructure and posts for the locality. To legitimate their claims vis-a-vis the state, civic associations (‘hometown’ unions), traditional rulers and other non-state institutions often invoke some form of ‘natural’ solidarity, and decentralization projects thus become arenas of…
The Rise and Fall of Humanitarian Citizen Initiatives: A Simulation-Based Approach
2020
Citizen Initiatives for Global Solidarity (CIGS) are small, ad hoc, volunteer organizations that arise in certain humanitarian and development contexts. They operate outside of traditional aid structures and may or may not cooperate with traditional government and nongovernmental organizations. Using agent-based modeling, we derive narrative-based, qualitative scenarios from simulation data to extend the theoretical discussions of CIGS as a phenomenon. The scenarios allow further discussion of the role that CIGS may play as development and humanitarian response actors outside of the traditional context-specific descriptions of CIGS that permeate the development literature. We find that scen…
Late-modern Hegemony and the Changing Role of Voluntary Associations in Finland
2015
Voluntary associations in Finland have traditionally dominated the field of collective action and been core agents in the (re)production of hegemonic blocs. Major changes in the institution of voluntary association may have a greater impact on the Finnish political regime than in many other countries, so the Finnish case might serve as a laboratory for the analysis of general tendencies of associational development common to all developed democracies. This article addresses (1) the main differences between older and newer types of associations, (2) the challenge posed by the development of a new type of hegemony to the ability of new kinds of associations to create general trust and solida…
