Muitas pessoas desocupadas, e muitas pessoas ocupadíssimas ocupam muito do seu tempo em redes sociais, entre as quais o facebook. O autor, que confessa de vez em quando sacrificar a essa nova divindade, faz um balanço provisório da sua experiência nesse meio.

Sebastianismo E Constituição, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Começam a aparecer de novo vozes e grupos cuja essência do respectivo programa político é a defesa do presidencialismo. Além de politicamente ser uma solução sem tradição em Portugal, com manifestações sempre autoritárias e ditatoriais (mesmo na versão de "presidencialismo do "Primeiro-ministro": Salazar), é importante que se saiba que uma tal solução carece, ou de outra Constituição (= golpe de Estado), ou de uma votação no Parlamento de 2/3 dos deputados (em revisão normal, agora já fora de tempo para esta matéria), ou 4/5 (extraordinária). Sem essa maioria excepcionalmente vasta, só um golpe de Estado permitiria adoptar o Presidencialismo. A …

Entrelinhas Políticas, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
É preciso saber interpretar. Os sinais e as palavras. E em momentos de crise, mais ainda. Há sinais de demagogia crescente. Bodes expiatórios são reencontrados, e as consabidas receitas de salvadores providenciais. O período eleitoral que certamente se avizinha (não era preciso ser profeta para o esperar neste artigo, escrito antes da demissão do Primeiro-ministro) será fértil em palavras. Mas as coisas são simples. E é preciso sobretudo traduzir o que será dito... É tão simples, afinal. Basta ver onde cada um quer chegar... E isso depende dos seus interesses e dos que defenda. Altruístas ou não.
Token Presence Or Substantive Participation? A Study Of Labor Trustees On Pension Boards, 2011 University of Toronto
Token Presence Or Substantive Participation? A Study Of Labor Trustees On Pension Boards, Anil Verma, Johanna Weststar
Management and Organizational Studies Publications
In contrast to their absence from corporate boards in North America, labor representatives do have a seat on many pension boards. Given the lack of research on the role of labor participation in these fora, this study reports findings from a survey of labor trustees. We find that labor trustees make greater contributions to procedure-oriented processes such as information sharing, rule-making and rule interpretation; and, fewer contributions to investment-oriented processes such as investment decisions, fund performance and manager selection. Gender does not seem to matter in explaining participation in board activities. Accountability in terms of a requirement to report back …

Data Note: Examining Collaboration Between State Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities Agencies And State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies, 2011 University of Massachusetts Boston
Data Note: Examining Collaboration Between State Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities Agencies And State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies, Kelly Haines, Heike Boeltzig, Jean E. Winsor
Data Note Series, Institute for Community Inclusion
Since Fiscal Year 1988, the Institute for Community Inclusion has administered the National Survey of State Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Agencies' Day and Employment Services. The FY 2009 survey included a module to assess the ways in which state intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) agencies collaborate with their state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies to support integrated employment outcomes for adults with IDD. A total of 40 agencies responded to the module. Their responses provide a broader understanding of the relationship between the two types of state agencies, and the ways in which they work together to provide integrated employment services.

Executive Compensation: The Role Of Shari’A Compliance, William Martin, Karen Ahmed

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this paper is to illuminate issues surrounding executive compensation as it relates to current understandings of Islamic business law. Methodology We review the emerging bodies of literature in the fields of executive compensation and opinions of stock options under Shari’a law. Findings It appears that the trend in offering employee stock options as part of a Shari’a compliant compensation package is acceptable in most cases, yet because of its close association with the more problematic idea of derivative transactions, the company must be vigilant in obtaining the approval from its Shari’a Standards Board before offering …

Assessing The Anti-Corruption Strategies. Theoretical And Empirical Models, Ani Matei, Lucica Matei
Lucica Matei
The preoccupations about conceiving and promoting efficient anti-corruption strategies exist in most states, especially in
the developing countries.
The opportunity of such strategies derives from the direct link, demonstrated theoretically and empirically, between the
effects of the anti-corruption strategies and government performance, translated both in the economic and social results
and living standard, welfare etc.
In the last decades, the transnational actors – UN, World Bank, OECD, EU etc. - have affirmed as promoters of own
anti-corruption strategies, directing the states’ efforts, conferring adequate levels of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency
or sustainability.
The South-Eastern European states incorporate own anti-corruption strategies in …

The SILVER Spark for Nevada: Sustainable Innovation Leading a Vital Economic Renaissance
Nevada. A State of stark contrasts, with historic booms and devastating busts experienced throughout its modern history. A State frequently forced to reinvent itself as ever-evolving circumstances have demanded. A State that has been driven to the edge time after time and, yet again and again, has managed to discover another way to prosper. A State that now finds itself in a precarious position as the “Great Recession” hit it harder than any other and has left it struggling to recover.
As you will conclude by reading The …

Mountain Monitor-4th Quarter 2010, Kenan Fikri, Jonathan Rothwell
Mountain Monitor Quarterly
The metros of the Intermountain West largely fell into two categories by the close of the fourth quarter of 2010 in December: those consolidating their gains from previous quarters on the way to recovery and those still struggling to turn around appreciably and reposition themselves for the next economy. Along those lines, three Intermountain West metros ranked in the top quintile of performers and three in the bottom at year’s end on a measure of overall performance that takes into account changes in employment levels, the unemployment rate, output (gross metropolitan product or GMP), and housing prices since the beginning …
Protecting Older Workers: The Failure Of The Age Discrimination In Employment Act Of 1967, 2011 New York University
Protecting Older Workers: The Failure Of The Age Discrimination In Employment Act Of 1967, Jessica Z. Rothenberg, Daniel S. Gardner
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
A growing number of older adults are finding that retirement is no longer affordable and they must work well into their later years. Unfortunately, over 42 years after passage of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967, age discrimination in the workplace continues to present serious impediments to employment in later life. Using a critical gerontology perspective, this paper reviews the history of work-related age discrimination and analyzes the ADEA and its limited effectiveness at protecting the civil and economic rights of older workers. The authors discuss implications and suggest policy alternatives that would support the employment and …

Direito Pensado, Sentido E Vivido Em L. A. Warat, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Em 16 de Dezembro de 2010 faleceu o jurista argentino que o Brasil sobretudo adoptou, Luis Alberto Warat. Era um iconoclasta, um heterodoxo. Este artigo é uma primeira evocação do seu pensamento, inseparável da sua própria vivência do Direito. Se crescermos na nossa cultura jurisfilosófica, um dia será considerado analfabeto em Direito quem não conhecer bem Warat. Se estagnarmos ou regredirmos, será um desconhecido, e nem sequer ilustre.

How Far Would You Drive For Fresh Food? How Some Rural New Hampshire Residents Navigate A Dismal Food Landscape, 2011 University of New Hampshire
How Far Would You Drive For Fresh Food? How Some Rural New Hampshire Residents Navigate A Dismal Food Landscape, Jennifer J. Esala
The Carsey School of Public Policy at the Scholars' Repository
Lack of access to food stores with healthy and affordable food is one of the central obstacles to eradicating hunger in America. Approximately 23.5 million Americans live more than a mile from a supermarket, which makes accessing healthy food more challenging. Among low income populations, especially those with young children and limited transportation, this distance can severely limit access to affordable and healthy foods. This brief reports the challenges that eighteen rural New Hampshire mothers face to secure healthy, affordable, and quality foods and suggests ways to help address these challenges.
