Durante o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, os determinantes do feminismo foram analisados bem com os seus impactos para a liderança da ONG. Metodologia – A pesquisa é baseada em dados primários através de entrevistas a pessoas com uma relação próxima com a organização. Para obter conclusões validas, a data foi analisada usando uma framework protocolo. Resultados – A presença de diferentes perspetivas de feminismo que coexistem em harmonia podem ser um grande fator para preparar o líder de uma organização para lidar com ambientes complexos. Usando uma estratégia de Ambos/e leva a resultados organizacionais mais efetivos e de maior sucesso. Limitações de Pesquisa – Este trabalho tem o foco numa ONG localizada no Brasil, mais especificamente no Rio de janeiro. ONGs de outras localidades não foram cobertas pela data, o que significa que conclusões gerais sobre a liderança de ONGs de outros locais não podem ser tiradas. Implicações Práticas – Esta pesquisa pode ajudar empresas a perceber a importância de feminismos e como serem capazes de responder a paradoxos pode levar a resultados mais efetivos e de sucesso. Originalidade – Para conhecimento do autor, este é o primeiro estudo que combina tópicos de feminismo e liderança de ONGs, para melhor entender a relação entre eles. / Purpose – This work aims to identify how different perspectives of Feminism influence the leadership practices of an NGO from Latin America. In the course of this work, determinants of feminisms are analyzed and implications for the NGO leadership are drawn. Design/Methodology – The research relies on primary data collected through interviews with three people that have a close relationship with the organization. To draw valid conclusions, the data was analyzed using a protocol framework. Findings – The presence of different perspectives of feminisms that co-exist in harmony can be a main factor to prepare the organization’s leader to deal with complex situations. Using a strategy of both/and leadership leads to effective and successful organizational outcomes. Research limitations – This work focused on an NGO located in Brazil, more specifically inRio de Janeiro. NGOs from other locations were not covered by the data, therefore no general conclusions on the leadership of NGOs from other places can be drawn. Practical implications – This research can help organizations in the business world to understand the importance of feminisms and how being able to respond to paradoxes can lead to effective and successful organizational outcomes. Originality – To the knowledge of the author, this is the first study that combines the topics of Feminism with the leadership of NGOs, to better understand the relationship between them.

Não há garantias para o sujeito que ama; o relacionamento com o outro é uma tentativa de busca da felicidade, mas também é ao amar que o sujeito se torna mais suscetível ao sofrimento. A psicanálise aponta para esse paradoxo desde Freud e Lacan lança mão do paradoxo como figura de linguagem possível para falar de amor. O principal aforisma lacaniano sobre o tema é amar é dar o que não se tem, mas, para chegar até esse ponto de seu ensino, Lacan se debruçou sobre inúmeras questões ao longo de seus seminários. Desse modo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar o uso que Jacques Lacan fez do paradoxo para falar sobre o amor. A Análise do Discurso Pêcheutiana (AD) contribuiu para elucidar a interpelação do indivíduo em sujeito e a identificação com formações discursivas dominantes sobre o amor, sendo essa identificação fundadora de uma unidade imaginária. Visto que algumas obras de arte foram utilizadas para ilustrar a relação entre amor e paradoxo, foi a partir da AD que tais obras foram analisadas e incorporadas aos resultados. Além disso, essa metodologia indiciária auxiliou na interpretação do percurso empreendido por Lacan, principalmente no seminário VIII no qual ele se utiliza do texto O Banquete, de Platão, para relacionar, por exemplo, o conceito de falta com o tema do amor, análise esta cuja compreensão foi fundamental para o cumprimento do objetivo proposto neste trabalho. Foi possível então apontar, como um dos principais resultados dessa análise, que o objeto que o sujeito busca no desejo, em suas mais variadas formas, nunca é aquilo que ele encontra. Essa falta é central na relação de objeto, do ponto de vista psicanalítico, uma vez que a frustração inerente a essa busca faz do dom algo mais importante do que a presença ou ausência do objeto em si, pois o que está realmente em questão é o amor daquele que pode fazer do objeto um dom. Dessa forma, existe algo para além da relação amorosa, que falta a ela e só pode ser oferecido enquanto falta. É só quando algo falta ao amor, tornando-o imperfeito e diferente de uma fusão, que ele pode acontecer entre dois sujeitos que nunca, já que são sujeitos, poderiam passar a ser um só ou a desejarem a mesma coisa. Conclui-se, portanto, que em uma sociedade capitalista que valoriza investimentos lucrativos e seguros, amar significa mergulhar em vulnerabilidade e encarar a falta constitutiva que esburaca qualquer tentativa de controle e escancara impossibilidades. Iluminar o caráter paradoxal do amor é uma alternativa para defendê-lo dos discursos securitários que acabam matando as chances que a experiência amorosa tem de trazer algum sentido à vida / There is no guarantee for the subject that loves; The relationship with the other is an attempt to seek happiness, but it is also in loving that the subject becomes more susceptible to suffering. Psychoanalysis points to this paradox since Freud and Lacan uses the paradox as a possible figure of speech to talk about love. The main Lacanian aphorism on the subject is \"to love is to give what you do not have,\" but to get to that point of his teaching, Lacan dwells on countless questions throughout his seminars. Thus, the purpose of this work was to investigate Jacques Lacan\'s use of the paradox to talk about love. The Pêcheutian Discourse Analysis (AD) contributed to elucidate the subject\'s interpellation into subject and the identification with dominant discursive formations on love, being this identification founder of an imaginary unit. Since some works of art were used to illustrate the relation between love and paradox, it was from AD that such works were analyzed and incorporated into the results. In addition, this indexing methodology helped to interpret Lacan\'s course, especially in Seminary VIII in which he uses Plato\'s text \"The Banquet\" to relate, for example, the concept of lack with the theme of love, An analysis whose understanding is fundamental for the accomplishment of the objective proposed in this work. It was then possible to point out, as one of the main results of this analysis, that the object that the subject seeks in desire, in its most varied forms, is never what he finds. This lack is central to the object relationship from the psychoanalytic point of view, since the frustration inherent in this search makes the gift something more important than the presence or absence of the object itself, because what is really in question is the love of one who can make the object a gift. In this way, there is something beyond the love relationship, which is lacking in it and can only be offered while lacking. It is only when something is lacking in love, making it imperfect and different from a fusion, that it can happen between two subjects who never, since they are subjects, could become one or desire the same thing. In conclusion, therefore, in a capitalist society that values lucrative and secure investments, to love means to plunge into vulnerability and to face the constitutive lack that bursts any attempt of control and opens impossibilities. To illuminate the paradoxical character of love is an alternative to defend it from security speeches that end up killing the chances that the love experience has to bring some meaning to life

Modelos de escolha perante incertezas incorporando ambiguidade se tornaram uma tema importante de pesquisa após a apresentação do Paradoxo de Ellsberg.

First we present a survey of the literature, then analyse and finally suggest a further understanding of Faros model with respect to the independence axiom

Esta pesquisa foca na natureza caótica e paradoxal de Água viva, de Clarice Lispector, obra publicada em 1973 pela editora Artenova. Entre os vários aspectos estudados, prezouse trabalhar com o conceito de Kháos empregado na Teogonia, de Hesíodo; bem como com as mais distintas visões da crítica de Lispector a respeito dos princípios de alteridade, de análise do objeto, da ruptura com o cronotopo e do abandono aos padrões romanescos. A autora luta por provar que a qualidade de sua obra está diretamente relacionada ao enfrentamento ontológico e à reflexão aprofundada, captada no momentoinstantâneo e transcrita em imagens no texto. Mais do que uma obra recheada de personagens, de farto enredo, de situações espáciotemporais e de diálogos, Água viva é uma narrativa livre de molduras, que erige para registrar a coragem literária de uma escritora que não teme trabalhar, sem rédeas ou convenções, com a matériaprima do pensamento. / This research focus on the chaotic and paradoxical nature of Água viva, from Clarice Lispector, published in 1973 by Artenova Books. Among innumerous aspects, it was settled the study of the concept of Kháos applied in the Theogony of Hesiod; as well as the most peculiar visions of the Lispectors critics in relation to the principles of alterity, the analysis of the object, the rupture of the chronotope, and the Romanesque patterns. The author struggles to prove that the quality of her book is directly related to the ontological questioning, and to the deep reflection, captured in the instantaneousmoment, afterwards transcribed into text images. Much more than a production filled with characters, plot, spacetime situations and dialogues, Água viva is a narrative free of frames, rising up to register the literary courage of a writer who does not fear to work with, free of leashes or conventions, the raw material of the thought.

O pensamento de Rudolf Otto possui particular importância para este tema, pois este teólogo alemão buscou alcançar a essência do fenômeno religioso ao propor suas ideias sobre o numinoso e a categoria do sagrado, e ao afirmar a precedência da experiência sobre o conceito. A filosofia de Søren Kierkegaard, por sua vez, é também importante para a ciência da religião devido, entre outros aspectos, à sua perspicaz análise comparativa entre o pensamento filosófico grego e o cristianismo, especialmente nas suas obras publicadas sob o pseudônimo Johannes Climacus. A presente pesquisa pretende propor uma leitura das ideias kierkegaardianas de Instante e Paradoxo Absoluto, desenvolvidas no livro Migalhas Filosóficas, como expressões de uma experiência religiosa, interpretando-as a partir do instrumental teórico encontrado nas obras de Otto, particularmente em O Sagrado. / Religious experience is one of the main themes in Religious Studies. Rudolf Otto’s thought has particular importance to this theme, for this German theologian sought to reach the essence of the religious phenomenon when he proposed his ideas about the numinous and the category of the holy, and when he stated the precedence of experience over concepts. The philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard, on the other hand, is also important to Religious Studies because, among other reasons, it proposes a discerning comparative analysis between Greek philosophical thought and Christianity, especially in its works published under the pseudonym Johannes Climacus. The present research intends to propose a reading of the kierkegaardian ideas of Moment and Absolute Paradox, in the way they are developed in the book Philosophical Fragments, as expressions of a religious experience, interpreting them using the theoretical tools found in Otto’s works, particularly in The Idea of the Holy.

De uma média de 4,3 filhos por mulher no início do período, as taxas recuaram para próximo de 2,0 em 2000, e para bem abaixo disto no final da primeira década do século XXI. Nesta última década, a educação infantil, que na etapa de creche era praticamente inexistente, registrou crescimento expressivo, porém assimétrico, em todo o país. Não deixa de ser paradoxal que a etapa inicial do processo de educação só tenha se tornado importante quando a participação das crianças de 0 a 3 anos na população já se reduzira de forma significativa em todos os municípios do país. Este trabalho aborda este paradoxo, e busca conhecer as imbricações entre a queda da fecundidade e a expansão da educação infantil nos maiores municípios das regiões Sul e Sudeste do Brasil. A pergunta chave é "por que tivemos pouca creche quando tínhamos muitas crianças e só viemos a ter mais creches quanto já não temos tantas crianças?" Para tanto, analisam-se os dois processos à luz da literatura internacional e brasileira, e propõe-se um modelo explicativo baseado na combinação do esgotamento dos arranjos privados de cuidado infantil com o aumento da capacidade de financiamento das creches, proporcionado justamente pelo alívio da pressão demográfica sobre os orçamentos familiares e as redes de ensino / Abstract: From 1980 to 2010 Brazil experienced a steep decline in fertility rates. From an average of 4.3 children per woman at the beginning of the period, by the year 2000 the rate had dropped to nearly 2.0 and to well below this at the end of the 21st Century's first decade. During the last decade, early childhood education, until then nonexistent, registered impressive but skewed growth throughout the country. In what seems to be a paradox, early childhood education only became important when the proportion of children below 3 years of age with respect to the whole population had already dropped considerably in all of the country's municipalities. This paper addresses this paradox and endeavors to identify the mutual relationships between fertility rate decline and the growth of early child education in the largest cities of Brazil's South and Southeast regions. The key question is "Why did Brazil have a small number of early age schools while the infant/toddler population was large and why did the number of such establishments increase after the decline in the number of infants and toddlers?". To address this question, both trends were analyzed from the viewpoints of international and Brazilian literature and an explanation model is being proposed, based on both the exhaustion of the former private solutions in child care and the increase in the availability of monies to maintain early childhood education, which only became possible with the relief of the demographic pressure on family budgets and on education networks / Mestrado / Demografia / Mestre em Demografia

Denna avhandling undersöker hur investeringar i IT, och digitaliseringen av informationsflöden, har påverkat produktiviteten inom sjukvården. Genom empiriska undersökningar av avgränsade sjukvårdsprocesser – samt diskussioner baserade på idéer och teorier relaterade till ekonomi, ”produktivitetsparadoxen”, så kallade General Purpose Technologies (GPTs), och medicinsk informatik – detekteras och analyseras effekter av digitaliseringen. Produktivitetsparadoxen – vilken ställer frågan varför tidigare omfattande investeringar i IT till synes inte har genererat de förväntade produktivitetsökningarna – är en viktig utgångspunkt i föreliggande studie. Forskare har dryftat detta dilemma i många år men hittills har inga fullständigt tillfredsställande förklaringar lagts fram. Detta beror till stor del på att tidigare forskning huvudsakligen har inriktat sig på makroekonomisk statistik och aggregerade data, vilket har resulterat i otydliga eller ofullständiga slutsatser angående IT och ekonomisk tillväxt. För att verkligen beskriva effekterna av digitaliseringen är denna forskning istället baserad på undersökningar på mikronivå (organisations- eller avdelningsnivå) ur ett historiskt och kvalitativt perspektiv. En annan viktig tanke som genomsyrar denna avhandling är att för snäva definitioner av IT och produktivitet har bidragit till förbiseende av många nyttor till följd av digitalisering. Därför utvidgas termen IT här till att inkludera teknologi för att samla, lagra, bearbeta, återfå och kommunicera data, text, bilder och tal. Dessutom omfattar denna definition både administrativ och inbäddad IT. Vidare ifrågasätts de traditionella definitionerna av produktivitet, och begreppet ges en bredare betydelse för att fånga upp alla möjliga nyttor och/eller nackdelar som kan härledas till IT investeringar. Resultaten och analysen som presenteras i denna studie visar att produktiviteten inom sjukvården har ökat enormt tack vare IT-investeringar. Generellt sett så har sjukvårdsprocesserna snabbats upp avsevärt, sjukvårdskvaliteten har förbättrats, och kostnadseffektiviteten har ökat. Med andra ord, genom att introducera nya tankar gällande produktivitetsparadoxen, har fler effekter kunnat detekteras och analyseras. Det finns emellertid också många problem förknippade med implementering, användande och spridning av IT, vilka ges tillbörlig uppmärksamhet i denna undersökning. I förlängningen bidrar analysen av digitaliseringseffekterna till en ökad förståelse för hur IT-fieringen” av modern sjukvård påverkar dess produktivitet i form av exempelvis bättre (och även helt nya) behandlingsmetoder, förkortad konvalescens och snabbare patientflöden. Vidare ges förslag på hur implementeringsförfaranden kan skötas smidigare än tidigare, vilka problem relaterade till digitalisering som bör beaktas och lösas, samt vilka möjliga framtida nyttor som skulle kunna realiseras och hur. Detta torde vara av intresse för yrkesverksamma inom sjukvården, patienter, politiker som kall besluta om sjukvård, och även samhället i stort. Det övergripande målet med avhandlingen är således att underlätta utvecklingen mot en alltmer digitaliserad – och förhoppningsvis därav förbättrad – sjukvård genom att fördjupa förståelsen för relationen mellan IT och produktivitet. / This thesis examines how investments in IT, and the digitization of information flows, have affected health care productivity. Through empirical investigations of health care processes – along with discussions based on notions derived from theories related to e.g. economics, the Productivity Paradox, General Purpose Technologies, and medical informatics – effects from digitization are detected and analyzed. An important point of departure is the so called Productivity Paradox, which raises the question why previous comprehensive investments in IT seemingly have not generated the anticipated productivity growth. Researchers have debated this dilemma for many years now but no sufficient explanations have been put forth. This is so due to a prior focus on snapshot descriptions, founded on macroeconomic statistics and aggregated data, which has resulted in ambiguous conclusions about IT and economic development. Thus, in order to really describe the effects from digitization, the process investigations mainly are carried out at the organization or department level, and from a qualitative and historical perspective. Furthermore, in the current research, it is believed that too narrow definitions of IT and productivity have contributed to the overlooking of benefits from digitization. Therefore the term IT is extended to include technology for collecting, storing, processing, retrieving, and communicating data, text, images and speech. Moreover, this definition includes both administrative and embedded IT. Also, the traditional definitions of productivity are questioned, and the concept is given a broader meaning in order to capture all possible benefits and/or disadvantages from IT investments. The results and analysis presented in this thesis show that productivity within health care has increased immensely thanks to investments in IT. In general, the treatment processes have been speeded up, health care quality has improved, and the cost effectiveness has been significantly enhanced. In other words, by introducing new thoughts regarding the Productivity Paradox, more effects from digitization are detected and analyzed. However, there are some problems connected to the implementation, adoption and diffusion of IT within health care, and they are also given proper attention throughout the current work. / <p>Report code: LIU-TEK-LIC-2007:37.</p>

In the light of corporate scandals, pressure has increased on organizations to communicate information related to their corporate social responsibility (CSR). In order to keep up with the increased pressure on social commitment, organizations’ self-descriptions may be future-oriented rather than reflections of reality. The future-oriented communication may improve the organizational culture and thereby motivate staff to perform more efficiently. On the other hand, if the organization does not fulfill their CSR communication it could lead to internal skepticism. This thesis constitutes a case study of the organization Coop, comprising whether the relationship between its CSR communication and the internal perception of Coop’s CSR work in store has affected their organizational culture.   In order to answer How does Coop communicate it sustainability work through its external communication? and How does the staff perceive Coop's sustainability work? a qualitative content analysis and interviews with Coop’s staff have been conducted. The theoretical framework consists of Nils Brunsson’s (2006) theory about Organized hypocrisy, and Christensen's (1997) Autocommunication.   A conclusion that can be made from the results of this thesis, is that the image communicated from Coop (regarding their sustainability work) does not seem to be fully aligned with the staff’s perception of Coop’s sustainability work. Coop’s definition of their sustainability work had only been acknowledged by some, whereas half of the staff had individual interpretations of Coop’s sustainability work. The various definitions of sustainability among the staff led to various attitudes towards Coop’s sustainability work, which ultimately resulted in a fragmented organizational culture.

This retroductive study aims to examine in what way paradoxes figure in contemporary political discourse, and what political effects arise therefrom. To this end, the study will address an extreme example – Swedish right-wing nationalism - which often is accused of being paradoxical; for example, when right-wing nationalistic discourse – often explicitly anti-feminist – begins to appropriate a feminist analysis in order to engage in contemporary political events. Such was the case when news of what happened in Cologne on New Year’s 2015/2016 reached Sweden. An important theoretical framework for this study is Michael Billig’s Ideological Dilemmas, and his theories on common sense and intellectual- versus lived ideology. According to Billig ‘doxa’ constitutes various contradictory values, and in this way, doxa is inherently paradoxical. Therefore, in order to understand and define the figure paradox, first we need to investigate how our own liberal doxa operate paradoxically, and what are both the rhetorical and political implications of the paradoxes constitutive of liberal common sense. The analysis of this study suggests that liberal discourse has, to a certain degree, facilitated the growth and effectiveness of right-wing nationalist discourse that has drawn on cultural differences as a permissible ground for a debate surrounding the future of western liberal principles and the defence of women’s rights.

Empirical research shows that co-opetition is a double-edged sword such that it can both help and hurt the achievement of desired performance outcomes. Despite the proliferation of co-opetitive alliances (i.e., simultaneous pursuit of competition and cooperation between firms), the field still lacks a theoretical framework that could help explain the dynamic mechanisms and conditions leading to these contradictory results. This thesis attempts to distill and integrate arguments from different literature streams of paradox, ambidexterity, and emotion to develop a framework in which experienced paradoxical tension (i.e., individual level cognitive difficulty and emotional ambivalence that pulls managers in opposite directions) serves as the main underlying mechanism through which co-opetition (i.e., an inter-firm level paradox) differentially affects performance in co-opetitive alliances. I further propose that firms' failure or success to achieve performance objectives in co- opetitive alliances is also contingent upon having a strong co-opetition capability (i.e., a multidimensional capability comprising analytical, emotional, and balancing dimensions). This thesis includes four appended papers that have used various methodologies such as anecdotes, exemplar cases, and particularly survey questionnaires to test some parts of the developed theory. The results from different papers show support for most of the tested relationships. Overall, the thesis contributes by proposing a much- need theory of experienced paradoxical tension that address the core issues related to the nature, source, consequence, and management of such tension in co-opetitive alliances. My theory has implications for research on organizational paradox and emotion, as well as for senior managers who are responsible for the success of co-opetitive alliances.
