CONSIDERATIONS ON CONFLICT MANAGEMENT DURING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
2021
Organizational conflict is not based on personal values; it occurs due to dynamic changes within the structure of the organization. When these dynamics are neglected, they generate conflict within the organization. Any organization reunites groups of individuals with different personalities, job outlooks, education, systems of values and different behaviors. The maintenance of a perfect harmony is hard to be achieved, conflicts being inevitable.
When earwig mothers do not care to share: Parent–offspring competition and the evolution of family life
2017
Kin competition often reduces – and sometimes entirely negates – the benefits of cooperation among family members. Surprisingly, the impact of kin competition on the fitness effects of family life only received close scrutiny in studies on sibling rivalry, whereas the possibility of parent–offspring competition has attracted much less attention. As a consequence, it remains unclear whether and how parent–offspring competition could have affected the early evolution of parental care and family life. Here, we examined the occurrence and consequences of parent–offspring competition over food access in the European earwig Forficula auricularia, an insect with facultative family life reminiscent…

This study is an integrative review where a combination of different approaches allow me to summarize empirical and theoretical literature into comprehensive knowledge about a phenomenon. The theoretical perspectives…
La sfida delle coppie a doppia carriera tra strategie di coping e nodi conflittuali. Un contributo di ricerca
2015
Nella dimensione privata e in quella sociale e organizzativa, il bilanciamento famiglia-lavoro e la genitorialita si risolvono in un sovraccarico di responsabilita a sfavore delle madri e nella effettiva disparita nella professione. Nelle famiglie a doppia carriera, il conflitto tra vita familiare e vita lavorativa ha effetti su varie dimensioni; la ricerca che presentiamo prende in esame la presenza di conflitti WIF (work to family) e conflitti FIW (family to work) in un campione di 483 genitori di coppie a doppia carriera e ha permesso di evidenziare che l’aumento dei compiti familiari relativi alla nascita e all’accudimento dei figli e associato a una strategia di bilanciamento che rifle…
Argumentar el presente desde la explicación histórica del pasado
2014
La presente investigación analiza la forma en que el alumnado argumenta sobre el pasado reciente a partir del actual marco curricular y los libros de texto. Aquí se presentan los resultados de un análisis cualitativo que examina, por una parte, el tratamiento de la argumentación en los libros de texto mayoritarios y, por otro lado, la visión del alumnado sobre los “tiempos difíciles” al acabar la enseñanza obligatoria y su capacidad de argumentar al respecto. El estudio examina la estructura y el planteamiento didáctico de los manuales escolares actuales, y la capacidad argumentativa del alumnado a partir de una muestra de cuestionarios y ejercicio de argumentación realizados en un centro d…
The Need for More Rhetoric in the Public Sphere. A Challenging Thesis About Post-Truth
2018
Since it hit the headlines and aroused the interest of scholars, the phenomenon of posttruth has received two main different interpretations: someone has observed that in the phenomenon there is nothing really new: lies and fakes are always existed and the only real difference is represented by the speed with which today, thanks to the means of communication, they spread. Others, on the other hand, have emphasized the close relationship between postmodernism and post-truth, arguing that the first one is the ideological background of the second one. Our paper aims to show that in order to frame post-truth in the right perspective, we need the theoretical framework offered by the rhetoric. In…
The Preservation of Art and Culture in Times of War
2022
Conflict over cultural heritage has increasingly become a standard part of war. Today, systematic exploitation, manipulation, attacks, and destruction of cultural heritage by state and non-state actors form part of most violent conflicts across the world. Such acts are often intentional and based on well-planned strategies for inflicting harm on groups of people and communities. With this increasing awareness of the role cultural heritage plays in war, scholars and practitioners have progressed from seeing conflict-related destruction of cultural heritage as a cultural tragedy to understanding it as a vital national security issue. There is also a shift from the desire to protect cultural p…
Planning in the Face of Conflict in Un-Democratic Contexts: Lessons from Two Sicilian Municipalities
2015
Within planning theory, the disciplinary tradition that is more attentive towards conflicts can be placed in a triangular position between politics, citizens and power, where the different research directions can be identified as studies into the élites, the hierarchy of governance and, last but not least, the role of social movements. Through élite theories and theories of classical pluralism, the reflection on conflicts has been measured mostly against the enigma of “who is in power” applied to city management, whereas in the sphere of urban economic policy, questions have mainly regarded the objectives, despite their having to come to terms with the limitations of rational choices (Bish …
Los poderes locales en la sociedad agraria : una propuesta de balance
2000
El artículo, derivado de la contribución al curso de verano celebrado en Águilas (Región de Murcia) en septiembre de 2000, sobre los diez últimos años de Historia Agraria en España, considera las investigaciones recientes acerca de los poderes locales en la sociedad agraria española desde el siglo XVIII. Se. destacan tanto los distintos enfoques metodológicos como los problemas principales en la evolución de las relaciones entre las clases sociales, el peso de la comunidad local y el contexto político de la sociedad rural. Se otorga una importancia especial a un cierto `ámbito comunitario` que, pese a los avances del individualismo agrario y de la diferenciación social, muestra actuar como …
Interactively Learning the Preferences of a Decision Maker in Multi-objective Optimization Utilizing Belief-rules
2020
Many real life problems can be modelled as multiobjective optimization problems. Such problems often consist of multiple conflicting objectives to be optimized simultaneously. Multiple optimal solutions exist to these problems, and a single solution cannot be said to be the best without preferences given by a domain expert. Preferences can be used to find satisfying solutions: optimal solutions, which best match the expert’s preferences. To model the preferences of the expert, and aid him/her in finding satisfying solutions, a novel method is proposed. The method utilizes machine learning combined with belief-rule based systems to adaptively train a belief rule based system to learn a domai…
