    In the centennial of the apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, this chapter analyzes the religious tourism at Cova da Iria: historical and anthropological contextualization of the religious phenomenon; the initial stages of the pilgrimage as spontaneous occurrences without organized touristic facilities; tourism development while the rural landscape was being transformed by the construction of buildings and structures to the religious cult and host facilities appropriating icons and symbols related to the apparitions; the consolidation of the cult with the papal devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, the seers beatifcation, and canonization and the centennial celebrations imposing a complex management of the sanctuary activities and spaces; as well as a challenging communication of its religious meanings. Conceived as a case study, this research is based on a qualitative methodology involving a bibliographic research towards a theoretical framework, as well as anthropological methods such as direct observation

    Poster apresentado ao VIII Congresso Nacional de Geologia, em Braga (9-16 de Julho 2010)Apresenta-se o estudo das descontinuidades e das potenciais situações de instabilidade de uma pedreira de calcário ornamental que se localiza nas imediações de Valinho de Fátima (freguesia de Fátima). Definiram-se três famílias principais de descontinuidades, bem como as suas principais características: orientação, espaçamento, persistência, abertura, material de preenchimento, rugosidade, presença da água, índice de diaclasamento volumétrico e ângulo de atrito. Através da análise cinemática, em que utilizou o método de Markland, identificaram-se situações de instabilidade de rotura em cunha.This article presents the study of discontinuities and potential slope instability of an ornamental limestone quarry located in Valinho de Fátima. Three joints sets were defined, as well as its characteristics such as: orientation, spacing, persistence, aperture, filling, roughness, percolation, volumetric joint count and friction angle. A kinematic analysis, based on Markland’s method was carried out, which allowed the identification of wedge failures occurrences

    Geometric conditions for regularity in a time-minimum problem with constant dynamics

    Get PDF
    Continuing the earlier research on local well-posedness of a time-minimum problem associated to a closed target set C in a Hilbert space H and a convex constant dynamics F we study the Lipschitz (or, in general, Hölder) regularity of the (unique) point in C achieved from x for a minimal time. As a consequence, smoothness of the value function is proved, and an explicit formula for its derivative is given

    El capital social como enfoque teórico en Dirección Estratégica

    Get PDF
    [EN] The objective of this research paper is to investigate, from a theoretical point of view, the strategic relevance of social capital. In recent years, academic literature in this field has witnessed remarkable growth, recognizing social capital as a key element for companies, due to its contribution to the creation of competitive advantages. However, it might be said that its development is still emerging, given the number of discrepancies among researchers regarding its definition, measurement, and its positive or negative impact on other variables. For this reason, a set of empirical studies that show the social capital effect on diverse types of organizational results have been reviewed, taking as a reference the definition and dimensions proposed by Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998). Additionally, different theoretical links between social capital and four related Strategic Management approaches are presented, such as the Intellectual Capital-Based View, the Knowledge-Based View, the Resource-Based View and the Dynamic Resource-Based View. A main conclusion drawn from this review is that social capital, being a knowledge-based resource, enables access to both internal and external resources and thus a firm’s competitive advantage and, consequently, its value creation can be generated from the combination of both areas. Going in depth and clarifying this strategic linkage are thus a challenge to address in future studies.[ES] El principal objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar la relevancia estratégica del capital social organizacional desde un punto de vista teórico. En los últimos años, la literatura académica relacionada con este concepto ha experimentado un notable crecimiento, reconociendo que el capital social es un elemento fundamental para que las empresas generen ventajas competitivas. Sin embargo, se podría afirmar que su desarrollo es todavía incipiente al existir multitud de discrepaciancias entre los investigadores acerca de su conceptuación, la medición de sus dimensiones o los efectos positivos o negativos que podría tener sobre otras variables. Por este motivo, tomando como referencia la definición y dimensiones propuestas por Nahapiet y Ghoshal (1998), se ha realizado una revisión de las investigaciones que, de manera empírica, han estudiado las relaciones entre el capital social y distintos tipos de resultados organizacionales. Igualmente, se exponen diferentes nexos teóricos encontrados entre el capital social y los principales enfoques en Dirección Estratégica como son Enfoque Basado en el Capital Intelectual, el Enfoque Basado en el Conocimiento, el Enfoque Basado en los Recursos y el Enfoque Basado en las Capacidades dinámicas. Se concluye que el capital social, como recurso basado en el conocimiento, podría permitir el acceso a otros recursos internos o externos, y que la creación de valor y la generación de ventajas competitivas de una empresa puede provenir de la combinación de ambos ámbitos. Así, futuros estudios deben encaminarse hacia la profundización y clarificación de este nexo estratégico
