<![CDATA[This article tries to show the way in which three prominent 20th century philosophers –– Edmund Husserl, José Ortega y Gasset and José Gaos–– have dealt with cultural diversity. Linked to each other by strong intellectual ties, the protagonists of the text propose three different ways of approaching this crucial and thorny issue in which the role assigned to reason is of special relevance. Husserl will trust her fully. Ortega, even the most Husserlian Ortega, will considerably lower such claims. And Gaos, radicalizing the perspectivist theses of his teacher, will consider that it is better to assume his impotence. The set of mirrors that the essay intends to create with the intersection of the three proposals aims to highlight the relevance of the philosophy made in Spanish in the most pressing debates of the present.]]>

<![CDATA[A rede mundial de computadores desponta não somente como um meio de comunicação, mas confere o caráter instrumental ao exercício de direitos, inclusive o de participação na subpolítica, de modo que passa a ser de interesse do indivíduo colocar -se como ator participativo no processo de discussão sobre a sua regulação. Nestes moldes, propõe-se a seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: é possível identificar no cenário comparativo da atuação de múltiplos atores na regulação da Internet traços de uma subpolítica reflexiva? Mostra-se relevante compreender a posição dos múltiplos atores no cenário de discussão sobre a regulação da Internet, o que somente é possível mediante o estudo de direito supranacional comparado contextualizado no que tange à subpolítica. A base empírica repousa em consultas sobre conferências da Organização das Nações Unidas, da Organização dos Estados Americanos, da União Europeia e do Conselho Europeu. Já a base teórica concentra-se em Ulrich Beck e Anthony Giddens e o conceito de modernidade reflexiva associado à política, conformando o que se denomina subpolítica reflexiva. Associando tais bases empíricas e teóricas apresenta-se uma pesquisa exploratória e qualitativa desenvolvida pelo método hipotético-dedutivo. Concluiu-se provada a hipótese de que, quanto à regulação da internet, percebe-se a emergência de agendas sobre a sua regulação que cada vez menos se restringem aos tradicionais atores regulamentares, permitindo uma maior participação do indivíduo nesse processo, com a verificação do delineamento da subpolítica em um conceito mais simplificado de mundialização, distanciado porém do que idealmente seria a subpolítica reflexiva. O artigo fornece à comunidade científica e à sociedade fundamentos cognitivos necessários para a sua inserção como atores sociais em espaços virtuais no campo da regulação supranacional das novas tecnologias da informação, apresentando um panorama teórico-fático desses processos de interação subjetiva. Os termos globalização e mundialização possuem múltiplos significados, o que não diminui a importância de compreendê-los cientificamente. Por seu turno, evidencia-se que o fenômeno da mundialização impõe o reconhecimento de que não cabe falar na política – e na atividade de regulação – como algo restrito aos Estados. A relevância do tema a ser pesquisado não é acompanhada de uma produção científica suficiente na área, eis que raríssimas são as abordagens sobre a governança digital na regulação da rede em âmbito supranacional.]]>

<![CDATA[Uno de los cimientos del federalismo fiscal es el principio de la respon-sabilidad tributaria. Tal y como se ha demostrado en la práctica federal, este principio asegura comportamientos fiscalmente responsables tanto de la federación como, sobre todo, de los entes subestatales. El presente estudio analiza la responsabilidad fiscal del sistema autonómico español en comparación con la responsabilidad fiscal en otros modelos federales como EE.UU. y Alemania. La comparación entre modelos federales tiene como objetivo la detección de posibles deficiencias en los diferentes modelos y la propuesta de posibles mejoras en la corresponsabilidad fiscal que pudieran corregir determinados comportamientos fiscales de los entes subestatales.]]>

<![CDATA[En las dos décadas anteriores a la llegada de la crisis, numerosos países comenzaron a poner en marcha iniciativas que implicaban la participación de otros actores distintos al sector público en el Gobierno y la gestión de las políticas sociales. La difícil situación económica de los últimos años ha revivido el debate sobre las fórmulas del welfare-mix, acerca de cuál deba ser su alcance y, especialmente, sobre sus consecuencias en políticas que, como las sociales, tienen un fuerte impacto entre los ciudadanos en épocas de crisis. El análisis de tres políticas sociales en el caso de España permite observar que el welfare-mix se ha transformado de distintas maneras durante la crisis, atendiendo a diversos motivos, incluida la percepción por parte de los responsables públicos de que se estaba produciendo cierta privatización del riesgo social.]]>

<![CDATA[Este artigo objetiva apresentar ao leitor à revolução paradigmática representada pelo Big Data, além de incentivá-lo a imaginar como o direito poderá lidar com os desafios que advirão da modernidade tecnológica. O texto foi construído a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica destinada a explicar o fenômeno do Big Data e a problematizar, à luz da teorização de Immanuel Wallerstein sobre a modernidade, suas implicações no direito. O artigo apresenta as principais características do fenômeno inovador do Big Data, com ênfase nas potenciais implicações danosas à participação democrática no processo regulatório, para, em seguida, relacioná-las com os conceitos de modernidade tecnológica e modernidade da libertação, elaborados por Immanuel Wallerstein. O artigo serve como convite ao pesquisador interessado nas repercussões da modernidade tecnológica nas instituições jurídicas que modulam e legitimam o processo regulatório, com especial enfoque no Big Data. O estudo inova na pesquisa jurídica brasileira na medida em que auxilia na introdução, em língua portuguesa, da temática das implicações jurídicas do Big Data, cuja pesquisa, mesmo em língua inglesa, é ainda incipiente.]]>

<![CDATA[Preponderant agent is a new instrument for preventing and reverting adverse impact in competition due to highly concentrated markets. Therefore, this paper's objective is to present and analyze the preponderant agent concept in Mexico with emphasis on the broadcast sector, the telecommunication regulator decisions and the courts' interpretation. The objectives were achieved by researching and analyzing the main legal documents, the Congress reports and debates, the regulator's decisions and other relevant regulator's documents, as well as final decisions by the courts in connection with broadcast sector. Among the findings are that certain topics were not duly addressed by the Mexican regulator, or by the Congress, whereas the courts were more willing to hold decisions in favor of public interest based on constitutional intent and deference to the regulator's decision. This paper will be valuable for persons interested in telecommunications, broadcast and antitrust. Although the preponderant agent concept created in Mexico is not necessarily a “best practice”, it does provide an alternative. instrument in antitrust. Moreover, the courts decisions also provide criteria regarding regulatory deference for the regulator.]]>

<![CDATA[The paper examines the main regulatory frameworks of the telecommunications industry through the concept of market failure and analyses how and why the policy often leads to undesirable outcomes that might be considered as regulatory failure. The research uses the EU regulatory framework for electronic communications as a base for the analysis of the main policy objectives through the prism of the market failure theory with an eye to the interests of the main market players in the telecommunications markets. About any aspect of regulation allows to find ways to create opportunities for some groups of the industry and stifle activity of others. Despite the theory of market failure provides reasonable justifications for regulation of telecommunications markets, it is possible to argue that many of these problems are mainly the consequence of the policy and could be better solved by market mechanisms. The results of the research allow to look at the problems of telecommunications development and issues of the high level of concentration of the telecommunications markets as regulatory formed problems rather than consequences of the inherited industry’s characteristics.]]>

<![CDATA[Los movimientos migratorios entre las dos orillas del Atlántico han sido de gran relevancia, tanto por su cantidad como por su heterogeneidad, desde el momento en que estos territorios entraron en contacto. El flujo constante de personas, así como de bienes e ideas en este ambiente oceánico, hizo que en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII los círculos republicanos ingleses y estadounidenses estrecharan sus lazos, con algunas mujeres como destacadas activistas. La escritora inglesa Catharine Macaulay (1731-1791), además de escribir sobre los hechos cruciales del momento, cruzó el océano con el deseo de estar cerca y vivirlos en primera persona. Por otra parte, por intereses comunes, mantuvo una intensa relación epistolar durante más de veinte años con la escritora estadounidense Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814). A pesar de las limitaciones que encontraron en áreas mayoritariamente masculinas, como la historia y la política, el aporte de estas mujeres no se limitó al apoyo esperado, sino que sus inquietudes quedaron reflejadas en algunos escritos importantes para la causa republicana. A pesar de ello y paradójicamente, estos movimientos revolucionarios no produjeron cambios significativos en la situación y los derechos de las mujeres.]]>

<![CDATA[Service is the best service provided by hospital employees to meet or even exceed the expectations of hospital service users. With the increasing demands of patients and families, hospitals must provide quality, fast, and professional services, especially for nurses who are 24 hours with patients. Excellent service is needed because it has an impact on patient and family satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of nurses in providing excellent service to VIP patients at Panti Nirmala Hospital. This phenomenological qualitative study involved 15 nurses who worked in the VIP room, the sampling technique used purposive sampling to select informant according to the inclusion criteria of the nurses in the VIP room who had more than 5 until 10 years of experience, were able to communicate and speak Indonesian and were willing to become informant. The data were collected by in-depth interviews for 30-60 minutes with the researcher as the main instrument. The transcribed interview results were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results obtained 6 themes, namely the character of VIP patients facilitating the assessment process, the patient's critical thinking pattern requires nurses to be more careful in implementing actions, active client communication patterns require nurses to be more communicative, nurses are required to look attractive, nurses are required to provide excellent service, and the complexity of the challenges in caring for VIP patients. In the application of nursing care to VIP patients, nurses are required to provide more performance and improve therapeutic communication. And it is suggested that in improving the quality of nursing services, it is necessary to increase cognitive abilities and soft skills related to service excellence.]]>
