El principio de buena administración y la gobernanza en la contratación pública
2020
Las exigencias de la sociedad sobre la administración pública pasan por profundizar en el comportamiento y en la dedicación profesional, sobre todo, de los administradores y gestores públicos. Todo ello no es más que trasunto del principio de buena administración que, como ya he destacado, es hoy un derecho de los ciudadanos, que reclama mayor objetividad en la toma de decisiones, mayor intensidad en la defensa de los derechos de los ciudadanos, más transparencia, más control y, sobre todo una más proactiva rendición de cuentas. Se trata, en definitiva, de imbuir a los gestores públicos y a los ciudadanos que más frecuente y estrechamente se relacionan con ellos, de sentimientos de ética, d…
Comer nada o la defensa del vacío / To eat nothing or the defense of emptiness
2017
Resumen: Este artículo pone de relieve el enfoque que el psicoanálisis lacaniano adopta frente a la anorexia nerviosa. Desde una perspectiva clínica y teórica, describe sumariamente la consideración de dicho síntoma, distinguiendo su manifestación en las diferentes estructuras clínicas. El núcleo de esta parte del trabajo lo constituye la anorexia en la neurosis, mostrando que la anorexia se encuentra en estrecha relación con el deseo y, por consiguiente, con la demanda del Otro y la castración. 
 Asimismo, el trabajo abunda en mostrar cómo no solo el Otro primordial y la elección del sujeto son decisivos en la aparición del síntoma, sino también cómo el Otro social supone un papel age…
‘Teachers see nothing’ : exploring students’ and teachers’ perspectives on school bullying with a new arts-based methodology
2020
Even though bullying is a perennial problem, there are still significant gaps in the research. The sensitive nature of the issue prompted us to develop and test a new arts-based method – a set of incomplete, problem-focused comic strips that were given to the participants for creative completion and were subsequently used as individualised interview prompts. The study took place in Russia with 14 teachers and 39 school children. The findings indicated that students and teachers agreed that instances of bullying should not be reported. However, there is a significant difference in how bullying is perceived by teachers and students. The majority of teachers indicated either seeing no bullying…
“Don't try to teach me, I got nothing to learn”: Management students' perceptions of business ethics teaching
2019
[EN] Interest is growing towards including business ethics in university curricula, aiming at improving ethical behaviour of future managers. Extant literature has investigated the impact of ethics education on different ethics-related students' cognitive and/or behavioural outcomes, considering variables related to training programmes and students' demographic aspects. Accordingly, we aim at assessing students' understanding of business ethics issues, by focusing on the differences in students' perceptions depending on gender, age, work experience, and ethics courses taken. Testing our hypotheses on a sample of 307 management students at a Polish university, and controlling for social desi…
Modeling and Measuring Competencies in Higher Education
2020
Measuring competencies acquired in higher education has to be regarded as a widely neglected research field. The progress made in empirical research on the school system since the 1990s – for example, through large-scale assessments such as the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and through a massive expansion of instructional research in general – has revealed that nothing comparable exists at the higher education level.
The Hopeless and the Ict Transformation
2018
Nothing is better than attempting to transform people by boosting their knowledge and improve their living conditions. In Africa and especially in Togo, Elderly people, Artist Painters and Fishermen even though they would like to contribute to their country’s development by their everyday hard-work, are not emerging. Government is not helping and their activities lack efficiency, proper management and appropriate internal communication and with the external world. This is the reason why the ICT in particular People.net, the knowledge charity infrastructure’s potential are proposed as a solution. Communities and various economic sectors could then reinforce their capacity by acquiring the pr…
The ABC of society: Perceived similarity in agency/socioeconomic success and conservative-progressive beliefs increases intergroup cooperation
2020
Abstract The dimensions that explain which societal groups cooperate more with which other groups remain unclear. We predicted that perceived similarity in agency/socioeconomic success and conservative-progressive beliefs increases cooperation across groups. Self-identified members (N = 583) of 30 society-representative U.S. groups (gays, Muslims, Blacks, upper class, women, Democrats, conservatives etc.) played an incentivized one-time continuous prisoner's dilemma game with one self-identified member of each of these groups. Players knew nothing of each other except one group membership. Consistent with the ABC (agency-beliefs-communion) model of spontaneous stereotypes, perceived self-gr…
The hermeneutic relevance of Aristotle
2020
El presente artículo pasa revista a las dimensiones hermenéuticas presentes en la filosofía aristotélica, y se detiene en la filosofía moral. El concepto φρόνησις llamó la atención de Heidegger, que acabó aproximándolo al de conciencia (Gewissen), y de Gadamer, que encuentra en él un modelo de los problemas de la aplicación (Anwendung) en la tarea hermenéutica. El propio Gadamer acabará defendiendo el carácter dialogal y hermenéutico de la retórica, que no es más que una forma de la φρόνησις. This article reviews the hermeneutical dimensions present in Aristotelian philosophy, and focuses on moral philosophy. The concept of “prudence” caught the attention of Heidegger, who brought it close …
Nothing matters: the significance of the unidentifiable, the superficial and nonsense
2019
ABSTRACT Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore the ways in which “small things” may be of importance for people with mental health difficulties. Method: Empirical material from three different studies was reanalysed through a phenomenological, dialogical, approach. Results: We discovered some paradoxical aspects of small things: i.e., they could be about “something” that was difficult or even impossible to identify. The unidentifiable could be about bodily, sensual experiences that are superficial (i.e., belonging to the surface). The interaction with others highlighted as significant could be about doing something fun, talking nonsense or kidding around, and hence not at all about m…
The Myth of French Influence Over Spanish Codification: The General Part of the Criminal Codes of 1822 and 1848
2018
The chapter aims to explore the scope of the foreign influences, that of the French in particular, in the criminal codes of 1822 and 1848/50. In doing so, the author departs from the views of some 19th century criminal lawyers who, like J. F. Pacheco, stated that in the old criminal laws “nothing was worthy of respect, or conservation” and “there was only one legitimate and viable system, the system of codification, the system of absolute change,” and recognizing that drafters were fully acquainted with the case of France, a jurisdiction that managed to turn its old laws—including the criminal ones—into modern codes (1804–1811). The author briefly presents the status quaestionis of the dich…
