<p>Self control is affected by self-regulatory strength depletion (Hagger et al., 2010) as well as construal-level mindset (Fujita et al., 2006). However, two conflicting perspectives have emerged predicting differential interactive effects of construals and depletion. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the independent and interactive effects of construal levels and self-control strength in an effortful cycling exercise task. Using a randomized 2 X 2 factorial design, undergraduate participants (<em>N </em>= 67, <em>n</em> = 34 women) completed a baseline cycling task, followed by a self-control depletion manipulation (Stroop task vs. quiet rest; Wallace & Baumeister, 2002), a construal-level manipulation (category vs. exemplar naming task; Fujita et al., 2006), and then a 10-minute strenuous cycling test trial. The results showed no main effects for either self-control strength depletion or construal level (<em>p</em> > .20). However there was a near-significant interaction effect (<em>p </em>= .07) indicating the depleted group outperformed the non-depleted group in the low-construal condition, whereas the opposite effect occurred in the high-construal condition. The results provide novel insights of the effects of self-control strength depletion and construal mindsets on exercise performance and implications for the design of construal level and self-control depletion research.</p> / Master of Science (MSc)

Para aceder a essa compreensão, as análises aqui engendradas são pautadas pela inserção deste tema no contexto das intensas transformações observadas na relação capital-trabalho, decorrentes dos processos dinâmicos adotados pelo capital para superar sua crise estrutural e suas implicações nas políticas de avaliação da educação superior. Busca, nesse sentido apontar uma tendência de que as políticas de avaliação são instrumentos utilizados pelo Estado para regular e controlar a educação superior com vistas a atender os interesses do mercado. Os princípios metodológicos que guiaram as análises aportam-se nas bases materialismo histórico-dialético, em sua ênfase nas categorias da totalidade, da contradição e da relação necessária entre essência e aparências dos fenômenos estudados. Quanto ao procedimento técnico e aos instrumentos para coleta e análise de dados, elegeu-se a análise documental dos documentos oficiais referentes à avaliação da educação superior brasileira, quais sejam: PARU, CNRES, GERES, PAIUB e SINAES. Como resultado da pesquisa constatamos que as políticas públicas de avaliação, condicionadas por determinantes que exigem a garantia de padrões de qualidade referendados internacionalmente, cumprem o papel de regulação e controle da produção acadêmica e produz efeitos sobre o trabalho docente, transmutando-o em trabalho adaptado ao produtivismo e ao eficientismo. / The main objective of this thesis is to analyze public policies for the evaluation of higher education in Brazil and its repercussions on teaching work and on academic production, considering its relations with international processes of regulation of university activity, from a clipping Which considers the period covering the years between 1990 and present, although it considers that the contours of this question have been drawn since the early years of 1968 with the advent of the University Reform. In order to access this understanding, the analyzes generated here are guided by the insertion of this theme in the context of the intense transformations observed in the capital-labor relation, arising from the dynamic processes adopted by capital to overcome its structural crisis and its implications for higher education evaluation policies . It seeks, in this sense, to point out a trend that evaluation policies are instruments used by the State to regulate and control higher education in order to meet market interests. The methodological principles that guided the analysis are based on historical-dialectical materialism, in their emphasis on the categories of totality, contradiction and the necessary relation between essence and appearances of the studied phenomena. As technical procedure and instruments for data collection and analysis, we used the documentary analysis of the official documents concerning the evaluation of Brazilian high education: PARU, CNRES, GERES, PAIUB and SINAES. As a result of the research, we find that the public policies of evaluation, conditioned by determinants that demand the guarantee of internationally endorsed quality standards, fulfill the role of regulation and control of academic production and effects on the teaching work, transmuting it in adapted work to productivism and to efficiency.

Along with the World Trade Organization constitutive treaty, Brazil has incorporated the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASCM) in the national legal system. That treaty limits de scope of subsidies concession by governments since this practice can constitute a mechanism of commercial disloyalty, affecting national industrial development in the importing country. At the same time, the multilateral agreement grants defense legitimate instruments to States, among them the possibility of domestically and unilaterally imposing countervailing measures to subsidized products that enter the national territory. Since the issue concerns both international and domestic level in complementary grounds, this research, besides investigating the treaty related obligation, aims at studying the national legal fundaments to ASCM s application by the Brazilian State. Therefore, the essential point resides in the State s conduction of its international trading and also in its available and constitutionally established mechanisms of economic intervention. State s regulating power reveals itself as a fundamental prerogative to succeed in the internalization of international agreement s requirements in the domestic legal system, which represents a basic prerequisite to the implementation of countervailing measures. Once the whole normative outlines are apprehended, this study shall scan the administrative process of trading defense main elements, along with the means of controlling public administration acts. The action taken by the public organs that directly intervene in foreign trade shall be analyzed as well, so as to enable reasoning if the unilateral application of countervailing duties by the Brazilian State is happening on legitimacy grounds / O Sistema Multilateral do Com?rcio evoluiu e adveio com normas internacionais de cumprimento obrigat?rio pelos Estados. Juntamente com o acordo constitutivo da Organiza??o Mundial do Com?rcio, o Brasil incorporou em seu ordenamento jur?dico interno o Acordo sobre Subs?dios e Medidas Compensat?rias (ASMC). Este tratado internacional limita a margem de concess?o de subs?dios pelos governos em raz?o de a pr?tica poder constituir um mecanismo de deslealdade comercial, afetando o desenvolvimento da ind?stria nacional do pa?s importador. Ao mesmo tempo, o acordo multilateral outorga aos Estados instrumentos leg?timos de defesa, dentre os quais se destaca a aplica??o, a n?vel interno e de maneira unilateral, de medidas compensat?rias aos produtos que adentrarem o territ?rio nacional com o incentivo das subven??es. Em se tratando de mat?ria em que as ?rbitas internacional e interna complementam-se, a presente pesquisa, al?m de perscrutar acerca dos deveres oriundos do tratado internacional, prontifica-se a estudar os fundamentos jur?dicos dom?sticos para a aplica??o do ASMC pelo Brasil. A quest?o insere-se, por conseguinte, na condu??o estatal de seu com?rcio internacional e tamb?m nos mecanismos de interven??o na ordem econ?mica, consagrados constitucionalmente. O poder regulamentar do Estado brasileiro revela-se fundamental para a internaliza??o dos requisitos do acordo internacional no ordenamento jur?dico p?trio, o que, inclusive, representa requisito basilar para a aplica??o das medidas compensat?rias. Uma vez compreendido todo o arcabou?o normativo pertinente, este estudo procurar? deslindar os elementos essenciais do processo administrativo de defesa comercial, juntamente com os meios de controle da administra??o p?blica. A conduta dos ?rg?os p?blicos diretamente envolvidos no tratamento do com?rcio exterior brasileiro ser?, finalmente, analisada, como forma de se apreender se a implementa??o unilateral dos direitos compensat?rios pelo Estado brasileiro ocorre, como deve ser, de maneira leg?tima

VYŠNÝ, Peter: State, Law, and Everyday Life in Aztec Tenochtitlan. Dissertation. Charles University, Faculty of Arts, Centre for Ibero-American Studies. PhD Programme: Ibero- American Studies. Field of Study: History. Adviser: doc. Markéta Křížová, Ph.D. Prague, 2018. 384 pp. The present dissertation, under the title of State, Law, and Everyday Life in Aztec Tenochtitlan, is the result of the research of a society that existed in the Aztec city-state of Tenochtitlan from its founding (about AD 1325) to its conquest by the Spaniards (1519 - 1521). In the dissertation, based on historical sources and secondary literature, three essential, complementary aspects of this society are examined, namely: 1. its organization and functioning, whose character indicates that Tenochtitlan was a consolidated (urban) state; 2. its legal order, which was developed and systematically exercised by the state; and 3. typical forms of everyday life of its members (of different categories). By exploring the three aspects of the society existing in Tenochtitlan, the following aim of the dissertation was achieved: 1. to examine the state organization, the legal order and the everyday life forms of the inhabitants of pre-Hispanic Aztec Tenochtitlan, both in their interrelated contexts and in the diachronic perspective; and...

Ces dernières années, l'Algérie a amorcé un plan national ambitieux en matière de construction de logements tous types confondus. À titre d'exemple, 1,6 millions de logements sont inscrits pour réalisation dans le programme quinquennal 2015-2019. Néanmoins, et en raison du manque de main d'œuvre qualifiée, les entreprises chargées de construire ces logements ont fait appel à une main d'œuvre venue de l'étranger : la Chine, le Japon, l'Espagne, l'Égypte, etc. Devant cette situation, il a été constaté que le secteur du BTP algérien représente actuellement environ le tiers des accidents du travail et des maladies professionnelles à l'échelle nationale. Cependant, aucune indication n'est fournie sur la question de l'émergence des risques psychosociaux dus à l'organisation du travail de cette filière globalisée avec importation de mains d’œuvre. C'est la raison pour laquelle une réflexion a été initiée en ce sens, dont la réalisation d'une thèse de doctorat en France sur ces questions. Cette thèse consiste donc à acquérir les théories sur les risques psychosociaux et celles des organisations. Pour ce faire, j’ai volontairement mis l'accent sur l'historique de ces risques en Europe et surtout en France, sur la mise en agenda de l'émergence des RPS, particulièrement via l'affaire des suicides et tentatives de suicide chez France Télécom fortement médiatisée et relayée syndicalement. Pour creuser sur cette question, nous avons posé deux hypothèses d'aggravation des RPS. En premier lieu, les RPS s'aggraveraient par déséquilibre entre régulation de contrôle (managériale) trop élevée, et régulation autonome (par les employés qui organisent leur activité de la façon qui semble la mieux indiquée) en référence à la théorie de J.D. Reynaud. En deuxième lieu, les RPS s'aggraveraient par déficit de démocratie organisationnelle de forme participative, ce qui complète la première hypothèse. Cela étant dit, nous soulignons que le chapitre que nous avons consacré à l'épistémologie (les six schèmes d'intelligibilité de J.M. Berthelot qui ont été repris, amendés et opérationnalisés par Pascale De Rozario dans le cadre de l'étude du phénomène du suicide) nous a permis de faire l'inventaire des théories dédiées aux RPS et de les évaluer au regard du modèle implicite (non dit) qu'elles portent sur les relations entre organisation et individu. Il faut également souligner que nous avons opté pour une approche constructiviste, objet du dernier chapitre de la thèse. En commençant d'abord par une approche « top-down » ; nous avons utilisée notre revue de littérature théorique (J.D. Reynaud, Marie-Hélène Bacqué, Yves Sintomer et autres auteurs) pour la confronter à une revue pratique et managériale de 4 observatoires (observatoires analysés au regard des contenus sur les RPS diffusés et des manières dont ils diffusent, interprètent, explicitent les rapports entre RPS, organisation et régulation managériale de l'activité) et puis nous avons suivi une approche « bottom-up ». Et c'est à ce moment-là que nous avons fait du constructivisme. Ce dernier chapitre représente notre proposition théorique, méthodologique et opérationnelle une fois de retour en Algérie pour amorcer une politique publique nationale de sensibilisation, de gestion et de prévention des RPS, notamment au travers la mise en œuvre d'un observatoire des RPS adapté au secteur du BTP. / These last years, Algeria began an ambitious national plan on housing construction of all types. For example, 1,6 million homes are registered for realization under the five-year period 2015-2019. However and due to lack of skilled labor, companies in charge to build these homes used a workforce from abroad: China, Japan, Spain, Egypt, etc. In front of this situation, it was noticed that the sector of building and public works currently represents about a third of occupational accidents and professional diseases at national scale. However, no indication is provided on the question of emergence of psychosocial risks due to the organization of work. This is why a study was initiated in this direction, of whom the realization of a doctoral thesis in France. This thesis thus consists in acquiring theories on psychosocial risks and those of organizations. To do this, it was necessary in particular to put the accent on history of these risks in Europe and especially in France, the agenda setting on the emergence of psychosocial risks, particularly via the case of suicides and suicide attempts at France Télécom. In this wake and dig on this question, we put two hypotheses of worsening of psychosocial risks. Firstly, psychosocial risks aggravate by imbalance between regulation of control (managerial) too high, and autonomous regulation (by workers who organize their activity of the way which seems the best indicated) in reference to the theory of J.D. Reynaud. In the second place, psychosocial risks aggravate by deficit of organizational democracy of participative form, which joins and completes the first hypothesis. That being said, we indicate that the chapter that we devoted to epistemology (six schemes of intelligibility of J.M. Berthelot, which were taken, amended and operationalized by Pascale De Rozario within the framework of the study of the phenomenon of suicide) allowed us to make the inventory of theories dedicated to psychosocial risks and to evaluate them taking into consideration model which they carry on the relation between organization and individual.It should also be noted that we opted for a constructivist approach, object of the last chapter of the thesis. While starting initially with a top-down approach; we took our review of theoretical literature (J.D. Reynaud, Marie-Hélène Bacqué, Yves Sintomer and others authors) and we confronted it with a practical and managerial review of 4 observatories (observatories analyzed with regard to the contents on diffused psychosocial risks and in the manners of which they diffuse, interpret, clarify the reports between psychosocial risks, organization and managerial regulation of the activity) and then we followed a bottom-up approach. And It's at this moment there that we made constructivism. This last chapter represents our theoretical, methodological and operational proposal once return in Algeria to initiate a national public policy of sensitizing, management and prevention of psychosocial risks, in particular with through the implementation of an observatory of psychosocial risks adapted to the sector of building and public works.
