Empowering vulnerable women by participatory design workshops

This contribution addresses the issue of homeless women’s empowerment through design workshops and according to the capability approach. The paper presents small, ordinary stories of women that experience being designers. Besides the professional label, being a designer means to approach reality from the transformative perspective of pursuing a positive change. It also translates in claiming the space for the expression of a personal vision of the world, within a cooperative environment. It enables to experiment innovative strategies to solve problems and to pursue self-determination in practical activities

SBE16 Brazil & Portugal - Sustainable Urban Communities towards a Nearly Zero Impact Built Environment

Vol. IThe organizers of SBE 16 Brazil & Portugal were challenged to promote discussions and the development of solutions for an important and, at the same time, very ambitious topic ? Sustainable Urban Communities towards a Nearly Zero Impact Built Environment. This is the main focus of the international conference SBE16 Brazil & Portugal; the only event of the SBE16/17 conference series being held in Latin America, more precisely, in Vitória (Espírito Santo), Brazil, from the 7th until the 9th of September 2016. The conference offered a unique opportunity to bring together researchers from all over the world to share evidence-based knowledge in the field and succeeded to achieve its goals since many contributions from various parts of the planet were received, addressing a tiny part of the problem or trying to perform the difficult task of making the sum of the parts a coherent whole.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The existence of World Literature depends on specific processes, institutions, and actors involved in the global circulation of literary works. Looking at Latin American 20th and 21st century literatures, this book analyzes the role of publishing houses, politics of translation, mediators and gatekeepers, to provide insights into the processes that enable books to cross borders and to be transformed into globally circulating commodities

Una propuesta metodológica para la valoración de los intangibles empresariales

644 p.La presente tesis doctoral plantea una metodología general para la valoración de los intangibles empresariales. La relevancia de los intangibles como fuente de ventaja competitiva es aceptada tanto por la comunidad académica como por el mundo empresarial. Sin embargo, la información de la que disponen las empresas sobre sus intangibles es limitada siendo su valoración una posible solución. Las empresas muestran interés en conocer el valor de sus intangibles impulsadas tanto por motivos internos como externos.Las metodologías de medición y valoración de los intangibles desarrolladas hasta la actualidad muestran deficiencias que limitan su generalidad y aplicabilidad por parte de las empresas.Se propone una metodología basada en el cálculo del valor de las competencias básicas de carácter intangible, tanto como proyecto básico como de las opciones reales que pueda llevar incorporadas.A continuación, y para comprobar el grado de aplicabilidad de esta propuesta se realiza un estudio de campo que recoge la percepción de los gestores empresariales sobre su capacidad de estimación de los distintos parámetros que requiere la aplicación de la metodología. Asimismo se realiza la implantación de la metodológica en dos casos concretos.La aplicabilidad de la metodología planteada está condicionada por la capacidad de gestión de las empresas. Se observa que aquellas empresas que son capaces de valorar sus intangibles obtienen un rendimiento superior. La gestión de los intangibles precisa de mecanismos que permitan evaluar el efecto de las decisiones adoptadas en el valor de los intangibles
