First Steps Toward A Systemic Ontology

It is necessary for the so-called \u201dsystemic approach\u201d to be structured also as \u201dsystemic thinking\u201d and to show that it is capable of elaborating a philosophical perspective that tests its scope in philosophical contexts and problems that somehow are \u201dclassical\u201d: ontology, anthropology, philosophy of mind, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, the philosophy of language, social philosophy, the history of philosophy, etc. For many of these domains there already are contributions of great interest, while for others \u2014 and I think of ethics \u2014 we can glimpse a great potential still waiting to be exploited. The aim of this work is to take the first steps in the elaboration of a systemic ontology, testing its possibilities, its theoretical efficacy, its limits

A genetic symbiotic algorithm applied to the one-dimensional cutting stock problem

This work presents a genetic symbiotic algorithm to minimize the number of objects and the setup in a one-dimensional cutting stock problem. The algorithm implemented can generate combinations of ordered lengths of stock (the cutting pattern) and, at the same time, the frequency of the cutting patterns, through a symbiotic process between two distinct populations, solutions and cutting patterns. Working with two objectives in the fitness function and with a symbiotic relationship between the two populations, we obtained positive results when compared with other methods described in the literature.<br>Neste trabalho desenvolvemos um algoritmo genético simbiótico com objetivo de minimizar o número de objetos processados e o setup num problema de corte unidimensional. Nosso algoritmo genético gera seus próprios padrões em conjunto com soluções para o problema, através de um processo simbiótico entre duas populações distintas, a de soluções e a de padrões. Trabalhando com os dois objetivos na função de aptidão e com a relação simbiótica entre as duas populações, obtivemos resultados competitivos em relação aos métodos descritos na literatura

Relacionamentos interpessoais e emoções nas organizações: uma visão biológica Interpersonal relationship and emotion in organizations: a biological perspective

Este artigo questiona o tratamento dado pela teoria organizacional aos relacionamentos interpessoais, por sua forma dominantemente racionalista, instrumental e prescritiva e apenas parcialmente integrada ao seu elemento central: a emoção. Sugere uma nova linha de pesquisa para desenvolver uma teoria substantiva sobre relacionamentos intra e interorganizacionais centrada na emoção do amor, conforme seu conceito biológico. E propõe que a investigação tome como referência a experiência do projeto de economia de comunhão.<br>This article discusses the treatment given by the organizational theory to interpersonal relationships, for its dominantly rationalistic, instrumental, and prescriptive form, only partially integrated to its main element: emotion.
