A antropologia contribui para a pesquisa em psicanálise? Sobre o perspectivismo e a experiência psicanalítica

This article intends to discuss the implications of certain questions posed by Amerindian perspectivism to psychoanalytical experience. That’s because a central question of perspectivism raised by Viveiros de Castro can be transposed to the field of psychoanalysis: how to create conditions for ontological self-determination of the other when we all have our ontological presuppositions? Following the author’s claim that the anthropologist should make a good enough description, an articulation is traced with the experience in psychoanalysis from considerations raised by Winnicott’s theory. Finally, to illustrate the discussed issues, an experience report in clinical research is presented.O artigo visa discutir as implicações de certas questões colocadas pelo perspectivismo ameríndio para a experiência psicanalítica. Isso porque uma pergunta central do perspectivismo levantada por Viveiros de Castro pode ser deslocada para o campo psicanalítico, a saber: como criar condições para autodeterminação ontológica do outro quando todos nós temos nossos pressupostos ontológicos? Acompanhando a aposta do autor de que o antropólogo deve fazer uma descrição suficientemente boa, traça-se uma articulação com a experiência em psicanálise a partir de considerações suscitadas pela teoria winnicottiana. Por fim, para ilustrar as questões discutidas, apresenta-se um relato de experiência em pesquisa clínica a partir da psicanálise

A Model for Estimating the Number of Taxpayer That Fullfill Mexican Income Law

In this chapter, methodologies for estimating the total number of taxpayers in Mexico’s tributary system are proposed. The methodologies are based on the theory of optimization and consist of an initial model with differentiated results, a prototype model with constant and differentiated returns, and a generic model for Mexican income tax (ISR). Based on the theoretical results, the models permit to estimate efficiently the expected number of contributors under different scenarios. Moreover, when the estimated data is contrasted with official data, they give satisfactorily results. The proposed models may be even adaptable to the inner conditions of Mexican tributary authority and may become an important tool for the Mexican government in their overall fiscal process

Reflexión para el fomento del emprendimiento de alto impacto en el ecosistema empresarial de la ciudad de Cartagena /

En gran medida se ha hablado de la importancia del desarrollo de emprendimientos para la dinámica económica y social de un paí­s o una región en particular; es de suma importancia entender el porqué de la necesidad de crear emprendimientos que generen cambios significativos en la realidad de la sociedad en la cual se ejecutan y con esto buscar las estrategias que permitan su sostenimiento. Se realiza una revisión de la literatura referente al desarrollo de ecosistemas de emprendimiento en diferentes territorios con el fin de presentar una reflexión en cuanto a las necesidades que existen en la ciudad de Cartagena para la adecuada articulación y fomento de emprendimientos de alto impacto. A manera de reflexión se concluye que Cartagena cuenta con los pilares necesarios para conformar un ecosistema de que fomente el emprendimiento de alto impacto pero es necesario que se trabaje desde las instituciones en la erradicación de la pobreza y se fomente la cultura emprendedora.Incluye referencias bibliográficas

Desenvolvimento do índice de qualidade de vida do idoso - IQVI: base teórico-conceitual, metodologia escolhida e geração de itens relevantes

PURPOSE: To describe the initial steps of the construction process of a quality of life evaluation instrument for the elderlythe theoretic-conceptual framework for the construct, Quality of Life in Old Age; the construction methodology; and the generation of relevant items. METHODS: The first step was to conceptualize and define the construct, determining how much the elderly are able to perform of what they believe to be important in their lives and whether they are satisfied with what was possible to perform. The next step was to select and describe the construction methodology (the Clinical Impact Method) and the phase of generation of relevant items for the research object. The necessary procedures were delineated through a pilot study, which helped to establish all phases of the used methodology. The viability of the construction of the Quality of Life in Old Age evaluation instrument was demonstrated along with the needed adaptations. RESULTS: From 1032 answers by older people, 138 relevant items for the construct were identified by the items generation process. The pilot study demonstrated the suitability of the application of the methodology and established modifications to the preliminary items list, resulting in a new 139-item list. DISCUSSION: Now that the theoretical-conceptual framework of the construct as well as the construction methodology and the items generation are established, the next step will consist of administering the resulting list to a sample of elderly people for item reduction and distribution of items into dimensions.OBJETIVO: Descrever os passos iniciais do processo de construção de um instrumento de avaliação de qualidade de vida de idosos: a base teórico-conceitual do constructo Qualidade de Vida na Velhice, a metodologia escolhida para a construção e a geração dos itens relevantes. MÉTODOS: O primeiro passo foi conceituar e definir o constructo, evidenciando o quanto os idosos realizam do que consideram importante para suas vidas e se estão satisfeitos com o que foi possível concretizar. O segundo, escolher e descrever a metodologia de construção (Método do Impacto Clínico) e a fase de geração de itens relevantes ao objeto de estudo. Através de estudo piloto, foram delineados os procedimentos necessários, estabelecendo-se todas as fases da metodologia. Demonstrou-se a viabilidade de seu emprego na construção de um instrumento de avaliação de qualidade de vida de idosos, com as adaptações necessárias. RESULTADOS: A geração de itens selecionou, de 1032 respostas de idosos, 138 itens relevantes ao constructo. O estudo-piloto mostrou a viabilidade de aplicação da metodologia e estabeleceu modificações na lista preliminar de itens, resultando nova lista (139 itens). DISCUSSÃO: Estabelecida a base teórico-conceitual do constructo e a metodologia de construção, selecionados os itens e realizado o piloto, a etapa seguinte consistirá em submeter a lista a uma amostra de idosos, para redução dos itens e distribuição em dimensões

Susceptibility of Several Northeastern Conifers to Fusarium circinatum and Strategies for Biocontrol

Producción CientíficaFusarium circinatum, the causal of pine pitch canker disease (PPC), is now considered among the most important pathogens of Pinaceae in the world. Although in Europe PPC is only established in the Iberian Peninsula, the potential endangered areas cover over 10 million hectares under the current host distribution and climatic conditions. It is therefore a priority to test the susceptibility of those species and their provenances, within Central and Northern Europe and find biological control agents (BCAs) against the disease. In this study, the susceptibility of Pinus sylvestris, P. mugo and Picea abies Romanian provenances to F. circinatum was tested using three inoculum doses. In parallel, the potential use of Trichoderma atroviride and Trichoderma viride as BCAs against F. circinatum was also tested. This study has demonstrated, for the first time, the susceptibility of P. mugo to F. circinatum. Likewise, the susceptibility of P. abies was also confirmed. The fact that the Romanian provenance of P. sylvestris has not been susceptible to F. circinatum suggests genetic resistance as a potential tool to manage the disease. This, together with the apparent effectiveness of Trichoderma species as BCAs, seems to indicate that an integrated management of the disease might be feasible.European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST Action FP1406 PINESTRENGTH)Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad (projects AGL2012-39912 / AGL2015-69370-R)Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (grant SFRH/BPD/122928/2016
