This article has as its main theme the disorder of self-love, according to the thought of Louis Lavelle. For this philosopher, self-love is something that not only tarnishes man's conscience but also his relationships with others. In the egoist there is a process of losing consciousness, since the idea or image that he has of himself is unfair to reality, it is always exaggerated. This false self-image, for being unfounded, prevents your conscience from being perfect, thus making it impossible for one of the philosopher's basic principles: to know oneself. The article discusses self-love, supported by the notion of sincerity towards oneself. This sincerity is only possible when there is detachment from fantasies, that is, detachment from vanity. The reflection carried out in this article was guided by the reading, analysis and interpretation of texts by Lavelle, such as The error of Narcissus, Conduite à l'égard d'autrui, Traité des valeurs, De l'Acte.

Objective: Evaluates the personality of Administration students at night of a University in the northwest of Rio Grande
do Sul, looking from the identification of personality traits and indicative of disorders of it. Method: Quantitative,
descriptive, conducted from April to June of 2010. It used a sociodemographic questionnaire and a neuroticism scale
factor – it investigates vulnerability, psychosocial disturbance, anxiety and depression. Results: The prevalence of
leisure activities, that are related with welfare and quality of life. In the personality evaluation was found that most of
the students showed expected scores in the four dimensions evaluated, what means that they do not show disorders
symptoms. Conclusion: A large percentage of students showed scores that were not expected in the four dimensions
evaluated, indicating that important symptoms are experienced eventually

The aim of this work is to present and investigate a model that departs from three considerations. First, fiscal policy and debt sustainability are two sides of the same coin: the former is the policy instrument that government manages in the present time to achieve its social objectives, whereas, the latter is the repercussion of the former in the long run. Second, fiscal policy has a direct impact on industries capital accumulation because it affects the available income and, therefore, their savings; such an impact can be evaluated through the intertemporal optimization of industries saving decisions. Finally, fiscal policy has to be characterized on both the revenue and the spending side: revenues are determined through a unique tax rate, while spending is represented as an industry-based subsidy with a fixed fraction, Φ, that must be re-invested in capital. The production function in each industry is assumed AK and investment is subjected to quadratic adjustment costs. The consequences of assuming a convex adjustment cost function are twofold: the model does not display growth in the long run and the invested capital due to the public incentivization program hyper-crowds out private saving, consequently the optimal Φ is 0. Another advantage, due to the simplicity of the framework, is that the notion of debt sustainability, contrary to the majority of literature on fiscal policy sustainability, is defined unambiguously therefore it is always possible to determine whether a certain public debt can be sustained. In section 4, the model is solved as a Nash bargaining problem by assuming an explicit welfare function and it is found that the optimal government size results undetermined whenever the optimal Φ is 0. However, in the conclusions, it is proposed a way to modify slightly the model in order to overcome the problem of the hyper-crowding-out and letting the designed public program of capital incentivization work effectively.

Abstract: Justice Reform in developing countries is one of the most important priorities of international economic organizations. Reform is frequently pursued by setting up new institutions beyond national authorities, in order to prevent national government interference with their functions. The theories linking economic growth and rule of law models offer legitimization to the legal transplants required to meet international standards. The Cambodian case shows that this connection is often unbalanced and the regulation of the new models seeks productive increase rather than better justice in the field of fundamental rights.Resumo: Areforma da justiçanos países em desenvolvimentoé uma dasprioridades maisimportantes das organizaçõeseconômicas internacionais.Esse objetivo éfrequentementeseguido pela criação denovas instituiçõespara alémdas autoridades nacionais, a fim deimpedir que estasinterfiram emsuas funções.Teoriasque ligamo crescimento econômico e anormatividadede modelosjurídicosoferecemlegitimaçãoàs migraçõeslegaisnecessárias para cumprir ospadrões internacionais.O casodo Camboja, no entanto, destacaque esta ligaçãoé muitas vezesdesequilibradae a regulamentaçãodo novomodelo buscamaisumincrementoprodutivo do quemelhorar a Justiça nodomínio dos Direitos Fundamentais.

Questo saggio mira a presentare un modello in divenire volto ad analizzare gli spazi pubblici urbani (UPS), fondato su quattro dimensioni localmente situate –socioeconomica, socioculturale, socio-ambientale e politico-amministrativa – e una dimensione esterna, strutturale. In quanto modello relazionale, si concentra sul modo in cui le istituzioni capitaliste/statali e le loro rappresentazioni dello spazio plasmano luoghi e possibilità disuguali e sul modo in cui i cittadini percepiscono, vivono e si appropriano di questi luoghi, conformandosi in misura maggiore o minore allo spazio sociale della città. Un caso studio incentrato sulle persone di Rio de Janeiro che hanno fatto della strada un mezzo di produzione/riproduzione esaminerà il valore euristico del modello, rivelando come gli utenti si sentono nello spazio pubblico urbano, lo pensano e come reagiscono allo spazio "astratto". This essay aims at presenting a model with four non-exhaustive local content dimensions – socioeconomic, sociocultural, socio-environmental, and political-administrative – with an external dimension as a base to analyze urban public spaces (UPS). As a relational model it focus on how capitalist/state institutions and their representations of space conform unequal places and possibilities and how citizens perceive, live and appropriate these places, conforming to greater or lesser degree the city social space. A case study focusing on those who depend on the streets as means of production/reproduction in Rio de Janeiro examines the heuristic value of the model, revealing how users feel and think about UPS and how they react to the abstract space

A reflection on the possibility of drawing up a filing plan model that all Italian public administrations can adopt, with suitable modifications, for managing records of the current archive. The task assigned to the Working Group, by the Agency for Digital Italy - AGID, for developing a model of filing plan scheme has been analysed with the aim to identify both the strong points of a shared project and the related difficulties and problems found.The functional analysis of different types of government has identified a considerable overlap of the generic parts, referring to the general and instrumental functions, assuming a real feasibility of a shared filing plan model in a large scale. It has also highlighted the difficulty in maintaining the same consistency in translating specific and particular functions of other types of public administrations within the same filing plan model. ; Una riflessione sulla possibilità di predisporre un modello di Titolario di classificazione che tutte le pubbliche amministrazioni italiane possano adottare, con gli opportuni adattamenti, per la classificazione dell'archivio corrente. Il lavoro svolto Gruppo di Lavoro, promosso dall'Agenzia per l'Italia Digitale – AGID, incaricato di elaborare lo schema tipo di Titolario è analizzato con l'intento di individuare, da una parte, i punti di forza di un progetto condiviso e dall'altra, le difficoltà e le criticità riscontrate. L'analisi funzionale di diverse tipologie di pubbliche amministrazioni ha individuato una cospicua sovrapponibilità delle parti generiche, relative alle funzioni generali e strumentali, ipotizzando una reale fattibilità di un modello di Titolario condivisibile a larga scala; ha nel contempo, tuttavia, evidenziato la difficoltà di mantenere la medesima coerenza progettuale nel tradurre nello stesso modello di Titolario le funzioni specifiche e peculiari delle diverse tipologie di pubbliche amministrazioni.

Abstract Environments for access to government data, viaInformation and Communications Technologies, may expand possibilities for citizen monitoring, providing feedback for future demands. The aim of this study is to identify, in the available data via active transparency, the existence of elements that allow the construction of new proposals of dimensional models, enabling an anticipation of demands on data access. The theoretical-methodological framework, the text uses the concepts Citizen Intelligence and Business Intelligence. As a result, a dimensional model was proposed, building on a dimensional model from a daily expenses query, available in the Transparency home-page of the Brazillian Federal Government. Keywords Public Transparency, Information and Communication Technologies, Collecting Data, Citizen Intelligence, Data Warehouse. ; Resumo Ambientes para acesso a dados governamentais, via Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação, podem ampliar possibilidades de acompanhamento pelo cidadão, retroalimentando futuras demandas.

This is an investigation of Michael Sandel's critique of Ronald Dworkin's thought. Through this analysis it will be possible to evaluate whether or not Dworkin was inconsistent in his egalitarian proposal. In other words, it will be possible to ascertain whether Dworkin, an avowed deontologist, ends up falling into utilitarian arguments to support his own theory. If this statement is true, we will assess the philosophical consequences of this incoherence. To do so, we will use, as a paradigmatic example, the distributive justice argument of Dworkin, more specifically, the question of affirmative action in the United States. In this sense, we will use as conducting threads the works 'Liberalism and the limits of justice' of Michael Sandel and 'A matter of principles' of Ronald Dworkin.

This paper outlines the EU regulatory framework and analyses current practice in four European countries in respect of public procurement and tendering of ferry services. Tender management for major ferry services resides with national government agencies, while tenders for smaller volume regional and/or inter-isles services are generally managed by local authorities and/or regional transport authorities. Operator selection criteria increasingly emphasises service quality aspects, and environmental impacts, as well as price (i.e. amount of subsidy required). There is a continued trend towards privately-owned operators providing and investing in essential ferry services, with an increasing role played by larger international integrated transport organisations. For transport authorities, ferry service procurement involves a continuous evolutionary process of specifying, offering, selecting, monitoring and reviewing services supplied. Based on the information collected and analysed, the authors have developed a 'tender route map' which explains the different stages and key issues concerning public procurement of ferry services.

With the proliferation of social media, textual emotion analysis is becoming increasingly important. Sentiment Analysis and Emotion Detection can be useful to track several applications. They can be used, for instance, in Customer Relationship Management to track sentiments towards companies and their services, or in Government Intelligence, to collect people's emotions and points of views about government decisions. It is clear that tracking reputation and opinions without appropriate text mining tools is simple infeasible. Most of these tools are based on sentiment and emotion lexicons, in which lemmas are associated with the sentiment and/or emotions they evoke. However, almost all languages but English lack high-coverage inventories of this sort. This thesis presents several sentiment analysis tasks to illustrate challenges and opportunities in this research area. We review different state-of-the-art methods for sentiment analysis and emotion detection and describe how we modeled a framework to build emotive resources, that can be effectively exploited for text affective computing. One of the main outcome of the work presented in this thesis is ItEM, which is a high-coverage Italian EMotive lexicon created by exploiting distributional methods.It has been built with a three stage process including the collection of a set of highly emotive words, their distributional expansion and the validation of the system. Since corpus-based methods reflect the type of the corpus from which they are build, in order to create a reliable lexicon we collected a new Italian corpus, namely FB-NEWS15. This collection has been created by crawling the Facebook pages of the most important Italian newspapers, which typically include a small number of posts written by the journalists and a very high number of comments inspired by long discussions among readers about such news. Finally, we describe some experiments on the sentiment polarity classification of tweets. We started from a system based on supervised learning that was originally developed for the Evalita 2014 SENTIment POLarity Classification task (Basile et al., 2014) and subsequently explored the possibility to enrich this system by exploiting lexical emotive features derived from social media texts.
