In recent years, the debate about the role of the Public Institutions in the fields of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development has gained momentum. Nevertheless, the ambiguity of the latter concepts makes it difficult both to measure them and to estimate the impact that the different public initiatives may have on them. In this sense, the present research has the aim to design a fuzzy logic-based methodology applied to the evaluation of the above-mentioned processes in relation to the state-aid (...) policies for the European industry. Regarding the study contour, the European Union state aids seems not to have introduced important changes leading to socially responsible results and, therefore, favourable for the sustainable development generated by the European manufacturing industry.

In the context of reproductive health, policies focused on decriminalising abortion that resulted in religious beliefs, attitudes and behaviours being affected. The main purpose of this article was to identify the religious beliefs of abortion in the emergency situations such as COVID-19. Although there is no general consensus regarding abortion, there is almost ‘general opposition to causing harm to life’ in most religions. In the current study, 28 indicators and four factors (seven for each factor) related to pregnancy termination were (...) explored through an exploratory factor structure. The study was therefore non-experimental, cross-sectional and exploratory, with 100 students selected in a non-probabilistic way. Contribution: The main contribution of this research is to find the variable effects on abortion in emergency conditions regarding religious beliefs. Given the results, behavioural intentions determine a structural model, but religious beliefs explain the solution. Furthermore, data generalisation is not possible due to the context, sample selection and type of analysis. In the local population, a confirmatory factor analysis should be performed with a probabilistic sample selection. (shrink)

A public health emergency, as the COVID-19 pandemic, may lead to shortages of potentially life-saving treatments. In this situation, it is necessary, justifiable and proportionate to have decision tools in place to enable healthcare professionals to triage and prioritise access to those resources. An ethically sound framework should consider the principles of beneficence and fair allocation. Scientific Societies across Europe were concerned with this problem early in the pandemic and published guidelines to support their professionals and institutions. This article aims (...) to compare triage policies from medical bodies across Europe, to characterise the process of triage and the ethical values, principles and theories that were proposed in different countries during the first outbreak of COVID-19.

La Psicología de la Sustentabilidad (PS) estudia las problemáticas hídricas considerando la relación entre disponibilidad per cápita y consumo de agua. A partir de conceptos tales como; densidad poblacional, infraestructura hídrica y provisión de agua plantea tres estilos de vida relativos al almacenamiento de agua, la reparación de fugas y el consumo hídrico. La PS advierte que las relaciones causales entre las problemáticas hídricas y los estilos de vida son relevantes si se considera el Desarrollo Local Sustentable más que regional (...) y global. A medida que las problemáticas hídricas se intensifican, procesos actitudinales y de austeridad prevalecen sobre el dispendio de agua. En contraste, las situaciones hídricas en equilibrio con el consumo residencial facilitan el dispendio. La discusión alusiva a las problemáticas hídricas y los estilos de vida permitirá construir un sistema tarifario de consumo y delimitar las políticas públicas que se requerirán en el marco de la crisis de abastecimiento y distribución que se espera en los próximos años.

RESUMENEl presente trabajo trata de exponer el trasfondo (neo)kantiano de la filosofía del cine de Hugo Munsterberg. Nuestro autor, reputado psicólogo experimental y profesor de Harvard, elaboró en 1916 una obra que está considerada la primera manifestación sistemática de la filosofía del cine: The photoplay: a psychological study. Nos centraremos en este libro y lo pondremos en relación con otros textos de Munsterberg en los que su teoría estética aparece. Por otro lado, y sin perder de vista la intención de (...) rescatar los aspectos kantianos de su posición, intentaremos ofrecer un contexto teórico e intelectual de las motivaciones y temáticas de nuestro autor. PALABRAS CLAVEFILOSOFÍA DEL CINE; TEORÍA DEL CINE; MUNSTERBERG; KANTISMO; ESTÉTICA; COGNITIVISMOABSTRACTThis paper aims to explain the Kantian background of Hugo Munsterberg’s philosophy of film. Our author, who was a renowned experimental psychologist and professor at Harvard, in 1916 produced a work that is considered the first systematic manifestation of film theory: The photoplay: a psychological study. We will focus on this book but also we’ll relate it to other Munsterberg’s texts in which his aesthetic theory appears. On the other hand, we will try to offer a theoretical and intellectual context in order to contextualize all his motivations and themes.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying safety measures, including confinement, has meant an unprecedented challenge for the world population today. However, it has entailed additional difficulties for specific populations, including children and people with disabilities. Being out of school for months has reduced the learning opportunities for many children, such as those with less academic resources at home or with poorer technological connectivity. For students with disabilities, it has entailed losing the quality of the special attention they often need, in (...) addition to a more limited understanding of the situation. In this context, a case study was conducted in a special education classroom of a secondary education school. This class started implementing Dialogic Literary Gatherings with their special education students before the COVID-19 confinement and continued online during the confinement. Qualitative data was collected after a period of implementation of the gatherings showing positive impacts on the participants. The case study shows that interactive learning environments such as the Dialogic Literary Gatherings can provide quality distance learning for students with disabilities, contributing to overcome some of the barriers that the pandemic context creates for the education of these students.

El presente artículo discute los conceptos de «autoconservación» y «trabajo» en Lo que aprendemos de los lirios del campo y las aves del cielo. El análisis del discurso edificante escrito por Kierkegaard en 1847 permite definir la perspectiva que el danés asume ante el proyecto filosófico de la Modernidad. A partir de una crítica a las concepciones estéticas y éticas de la vida, el autor edificante propone un modelo de existencia religiosa que combina la autoconservación y la dependencia.

Mais do que uma investigação estritamente historiográfica acerca da influência do Livro de Eclesiastes no pensamento de Kierkegaard, o presente artigo pretende sobretudo mostrar até que ponto a lição edificante do autor dinamarquês sobre a passagem evangélica relativa às aves do céu e aos lírios do campo (Mt. 6, 25-34) encontra em Quoleth uma verdadeira chave interpretativa. Mostra-se, com efeito, até que ponto o tema da culpabilidade e do arrependimento, tão recorrente na obra de Kierkegaard, encontra correspondência na crítica de (...) Qohelet à potência terrenal: nesta, por um lado, levanta-se insistente o reconhecimento de uma insuperável finitude e, por outro, faz-se a proposta de assumir com serenidade, e até mesmo com alegria, a condição deste estado. Mostra-se ainda que a exposição à queda está, de algum modo, inscrita na estrutura essencial da consciência finita, pois não se trata de uma necessidade, mas antes de uma possibilidade essencial. Contudo, à necessidade de uma resolução positiva só pode responder uma consciência que mova da confissão da própria condição essencial e da experiência recorrente das suas quedas de facto para um efectivo abandono ao exercício da fé. Mais ainda, mostra-se também até que ponto Kierkegaard fala de arrependimento como de um acto que parte da essência e que, em definitivo, constitui o exercício mesmo da fé. Ou seja, o arrependimento não é entendido relativamente a esta ou àquela culpa, como se nele se tratasse apenas de saldar uma determinada conta, ainda que a culpa corresponda sempre a um determinado mal, mas aquilo que sobretudo deve importar é o reconhecimento de que, no fundo de todo o mal, está uma condição essencial que, de facto, e sem necessidade, acaba por se traduzir na pretensão de uma identidade meramente finita, no querer ser apenas e só por si mesmo. Nesse sentido, mostra-se também que o arrependimento mais autêntico está na demissão da finitude ou no abandonar-se à excedência do Infinite que em si recolhe e dá sentido às identidades singulares finitas. Em suma, este abandonar-se, este "repouso no arrependimento", revela-se como o movimento mesmo da fé e, assim, como o repouso no horizonte de um amor infinito, daquele amor que é propriamente um encontrar-se em Deus. Daí a palavra de Kierkegaard segundo a qual a linguagem mais apropriada para falar do amor de Deus é aquela que está centrada na noção de "arrependimento". /// This article, more than an historical investigation about the influence of the Book of Ecclesiastes in the thought of S. Kierkegaard, aims at showing the extent to which the edifying lesson of the Danish thinker on the passage of the Gospel about the birds in the sky and the lilies of the field (Mt. 6, 25-34) finds in Quoleth a true interpretative key. The author of the article shows that the themes of culpability and repentance, so frequent in the work of Kierkegaard, have a correspondence in Quoleth's criticism of earthly power: on the one hand, is raised the awareness of a radical finitude, and on the other, is advanced the proposal for the need to assume with serenity, and even with joy, such condition. It is also shown that the exposition to the fall is, one way or the other, inscribed in the essential structure of finite consciousness: it is not a necessity, but precisely an essential possibility. Its positive resolution can only be achieved by a consciousness able to move from the confession of its essential condition and of the recurrent experience of the factual falls to abandonment to the exercise of faith. Therefore, repentance is not understood in relation to this or that fault, as if the problem had to do with solving a debt, but with the recognition that, at the bottom of all evil, resides an essential condition, which, without a need, consists in the will to achieve a finite identity, to be only by and for itself. This means also that the most authentic repentance consists in the letting go of finitude and in the abandonment to the Infinite that in itself recollects and gives meaning to all singular and finite identities. Above all, this abandonment, this "repose in repentance" reveals itself as the proper movement of faith and, thus, as the repose in the horizon of an infinite love, of that love that properly consists in meeting with God. Hence Kierkegaards proposition according to which the most appropriate language to speak about the love of God is the language of "repentance". (shrink)
