El fin último y el bien perfecto

A lo largo de la historia se han presentado diversos argumentos para defender que la multiplicidad de los fines de la acción sólo se encuentra en el nivel de los fines intermedios, mientras que puede reducirse a uno sólo cuando consideramos el fin último. En este artículo se intenta analizar las dos líneas posibles de argumentación, una de tipo formal o lógico y otra de carácter sustantivo, ambas de origen aristotélico y ambas, a mi entender, poco concluyentes.Throughout History, several arguments have been presented to support that though there are multiple intermediate ends, there is a single ultimate end. In this paper, we analyse the two possible lines of argument, one formal and the other of substantive nature. Both originate in Aristotle, but neither of them are conclusive in my opinion

¿Qué hay de positivo en la eugenesia positiva?.

El término «eugenesia» está lleno de connotaciones negativas, por lo general debidas a su asociación con los crímenes cometidos por los nazis y con prácticas tales como la esterilización forzosa. Al mismo tiempo, su significado es indeterminado. Esto influye en el debate contemporáneo sobre el conocimiento genético y las técnicas asociadas aplicadas a la reproducción humana. Con el objetivo de clarificar el debate, en este trabajo ofreceremos tanto una visión histórica más amplia de la eugenesia de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX como una discusión de los rasgos distintivos de la nueva eugenesia. Por último, centrándonos en la eugenesia liberal en su vertiente positiva, repasaremos algunas de las críticas principales, así como los argumentos ofrecidos en su defensa«Eugenics» is a term full of negative connotations, mainly due to its association with Nazi crimes and policies of compulsory sterilization. At the same time, its meaning is indeterminate. Both things have an enormous influence in the contemporary debate about the new genetic knowledge and technologies applied to the human reproduction. With the aim of clarifying this debate, we first offer a more accurate picture of the history of the old eugenic movement and a review of the distinctive characteristics of the new eugenics. In the last part, we focus on the positive liberal eugenics, considering some of the main criticisms as well as the arguments put forward in its favou

Linaria sagrensis (Plantaginaceae), a new high mountain species from the SE Iberian Peninsula

The authors have enjoyed the facilities given by the institutions to which they belong: University of Granada, University of Almería, Junta de Andalucía and Autonomous University of Barcelona, regarding herbification permits, travel, use of facilities and laboratories, use of SEM, etc. Loans have also been received from BC, G, GDA, GDAC, HUAL, MA, MGC and SEV herbaria.Linaria sagrensis, from the south-eastern Iberian Peninsula, is here newly described, illustrated, and compared with its morphologically closest relatives from L. sect. Supinae: L. pruinosa, L. nevadensis, L. glacialis and L. alpina subsp. alpina. The species is characterized by being perennial, entirely glandular-hairy, with inflorescence dense and corymbiform, and calyx lobes unequal; corolla small, pinkish-violet, with conspicuous dark veins and yellow to orangish palate, and spur shorter than the rest of the corolla; capsule globose, glandular-hairy at apex; seeds large, black to dark greyish, with apparently smooth disc, though with very few and scattered small tubercles, and light-grey wing. Linaria sagrensis is endemic to Sierra de la Sagra (N Granada province, Spain), growing in calcareous screes of the Mediterranean high mountain. Additionally, L. aeruginea subsp. pruinosa is here raised to species rank, L. pruinosa, and therefore a new combination is proposed. The value of seed characters in Linaria taxonomy is discussed based on newly discovered infraspecific variability in several taxa.University of GranadaUniversity of AlmeríaJunta de AndalucíaAutonomous University of BarcelonaBC, G, GDA, GDAC, HUAL, MA, MGC and SEV herbariaUniversidad de Granada / CBU

Female directorship on boards and corporate sustainability policies: Their effect on sustainable development

We aim to explore whether board gender diversity, specifically women institutional directors, improves the sustainability development and stakeholder engagement of listed firms by affecting corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies. Moreover, within female institutional directors we can differentiate between banks and insurance companies (pressure-sensitive female institutional directors) and mutual funds, investment funds, pension funds and venture capital firms (pressure-resistant female institutional directors). Thus, the effect of these categories of directors on CSR policies is also analysed. Our findings suggest that female institutional, as a whole, have a positive effect on CSR policies, the same behaviour that show pressure-resistant female institutional, while pressure-sensitive institutional do not impact on CSR policies. This research provides a new framework for the role played by certain types of female directors (female institutional directors, female pressure-sensitive directors and female pressure-resistant directors) in CSR policies and, thus, may help policymakers to promote CSR policies, and to take action to promote responsible behaviour among listed firms
