International audience ; This poster aims to propose practical tools for archaeologists who have to preserve earthen architecture remains in an archaeological context. The initial lifecycle of the architecture is depicted into four major phases: when in use, then the decline, the remains' stabilisation by the erosion and finally the archaeological excavations. In the past, most of the sites were abandoned after this initial step and the erosion process was reactivated. Nowadays, heritage legislations and a general international awareness of the scientific community do not allow such a careless behaviour. Conservation of earthen archaeological remains has become a duty usually entrusted to archaeologists who have very little knowledge of the good practices. This poster presents easy reproducible conservation options based on three approaches: - preventive conservation, where the concept of "minimum interventions for maximum understanding" is applied - the conservation dedicated to the site presentation to the public, with an anticipation of the damages as well as the construction of pedagogical tools on site (museum, pathways, facilities, signage.) - a mixed approach which combines elements from the first with elements of the second as part of a step-by-step conservation plan. This analysis is the result of 40 years experience on earthen archaeological sites by the CRAterre laboratory experts, accumulating knowledge on theoretical and practical aspects of the conservation of earthen archaeological remains all over the world.

Este artículo ofrece una lectura ética de la responsabilidad, aplicada a las organizaciones de la esfera económica de nuestras sociedades. Teniendo como marco de referencia la actual situación de crisis y las medidas que se están planteando de manera general para hacerle frente, en este trabajo se cuestiona críticamente el protagonismo otorgado a la responsabilidad en ese escenario y subraya las debilidades de su vertiente hegemónica. A partir de aquí,el texto recoge una llamada a rescatar otros rostros de la responsabilidad que tienen mayor entidad ética y exigen mayor densidad política, y propone recuperar el valor edificante de la responsabilidad, que llama y nos obliga a todos a cuidar la sociedad que todos componemos. La eficacia o adecuación de las distintas políticas, estrategias y herramientas para la promoción de la responsabilidad social deben responder a los retos que este valor edificante de la responsabilidad propone. ; This article offers an ethical reading of responsibility applied to organisations in the economic sphere of our societies. Having the current crisis situation and the measures which are generally being put forward to confront it as its frame of reference, this work critically questions the protagonism given to responsibility in that scenario and underlines the weaknesses of its hegemony. From here, the text includes a call to rescue other aspects of responsibility which are more ethical and demand greater political density, and proposes recovering the edifying value of responsibility, which calls and obliges everybody to take care of the society we are part of. The effectiveness or suitability of the different policies, strategies and tools for promoting social responsibility must respond to the challenges that the edifying value of responsibility proposes. ; Este artigo ofrece unha lectura ética da responsabilidade aplicada ás organizacións da esfera económica das nosas sociedades.

A partir de aquí, recóllese unha chamada ao rescate doutros rostros da responsabilidade que teñen maior entidade ética e esixen unha maior densidade política, e proponse recuperar o valor edificante da responsabilidade, que chama e que nos obriga a todas as persoas a coidar a sociedade que compoñemos. A eficacia ou a adecuación das distintas políticas, estratexias e ferramentas para a promoción da responsabilidade social deben responder aos retos que este valor edificante da responsabilidade implica.

En el artículo se contrastan las demandas de dos de los principales movimientos estudiantiles que conociera América Latina durante el tercer cuarto del siglo XX, los de Brasil y México en 1968. Tarea original en la medida que las investigaciones en este campo han tendido a enfocarse solo en un movimiento y, además, han priorizado el examen de la que fuera su dimensión más dramática: la política. Eso significa que aquí no solo se abordan ambos movimientos simultáneamente, también se estudian de manera integrada sus planos políticos y educacionales. Para llevar adelante esta tarea se desplegó una metodología histórica que contempló la revisión de las principales fuentes tanto primarias como secundarias. Este ejercicio permitió apreciar que estos movimientos efectivamente fueron enjambres de protestas contra el autoritarismo, pero también permitirá observar que fueron tanto espacios de defensa de la autonomía universitaria como de promoción de una universidad más involucrada con los problemas sociales. ; This article contrasts the demands of two of the main student movements known in Latin America during the third quarter of the 20th century, those of Brazil and Mexico in 1968. This is an original task in that the investigations in this field have mainly focused only on one movement and, in addition, have prioritized the analysis of what was their most dramatic dimension: politics. This means that here, not only are both movements addressed, but also their political and educational aspects are studied in an integrated manner. In order to carry out this task, a historical methodology was employed which included a review of the main primary and secondary sources. This exercise concluded that these movements effectively constituted groups of protests against authoritarianism as well as spaces for the defense of university autonomy and the promotion of a university that was more involved in social issues. ; Cet article se propose de contraster les demandes des principaux mouvements étudiants en Amérique latine dans les années 60, à savoir ceux de Brésil et du Mexique. Il est important de remarquer qu'il s'agit là d'une approche originelle puisque ces mouvements sont étudiés ordinairement séparément et en privilégiant leur dimension politique. En ce sens, on propose d'étudier ces mouvements simultanément et en intégrant l'aspect politique et l'aspect éducatif. La consultation des sources permet d'apprécier que ces mouvements étudiants se sont mobilisés contre l'autoritarisme, mais il s'avère également important de noter qu'ils prétendaient défendre l'autonomie universitaire en tant qu'espace de promotion d'une université plus engagé dans les problèmes sociaux. ; ANID/FONDECYT Concurso Regular, n° 1180506 y por ANID/PIA/Fondos Basales para Centros de Excelencia FB0003.

As part of a reform of the water sector in Lebanon, the first attempt of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in Lebanon was conducted from 2003 to 2007. Ondeo-Liban, a subsidiary of the multinational Suez-Environment, was contracted to manage the drinking water service in the area of responsibility of the Tripoli Water Authority - which was later incorporated into the North Lebanon Water Establishment. The objective of the contract was to improve domestic water supply services in Tripoli and its suburbs while modernizing the public administration, which, until then, was unable to ensure proper service and was in very bad financial conditions. The Lebanese context is deeply marked by clientelism and cronyism and privatization has often been conducted for the benefit of economic and political elites. My presentation seeks to understand the interactions between the private firm and local elites during this time. Because literature on delegation of water management in developing countries often focuses on institutional aspects, through this case study, I would like to bring the politics back into the analysis and try to understand how the introduction of a private actors does, or does not affect clientelist networks. ; Dans le cadre de la réforme du secteur de l'eau menée au Liban depuis 2000, une première expérience de partenariat public-privé (PPP) est menée dans la ville de Tripoli entre 2003 et 2007. Ondeo-Liban, une filiale de la multinationale Suez-Environnement, est engagée pour gérer le service d'eau potable sur le territoire de l'Office des Eaux de Tripoli. L'objectif du contrat, financé par l'Agence Française du Développement, est d'améliorer l'approvisionnement en eau de Tripoli et de ses banlieues tout en modernisant une administration publique qui connaît d'importantes difficultés de fonctionnement depuis la fin de la guerre civile. Dans un contexte libanais fortement marqué par le clientélisme, cette présentation cherche à analyser les interactions entre l'entreprise privée et les élites locales pendant la durée du contrat. Alors que la littérature sur la gestion déléguée des services d'eau dans les pays en développement se concentre souvent sur les aspects institutionnels, je souhaite ici replacer le politique au cœur de l'analyse et essayer de comprendre l'impact de l'introduction d'une entreprise privée sur les réseaux de clientélisme organisés autour du secteur de l'eau à Tripoli

The role of music and words in Sufi practice is very high. It is through the musical component and the sounding word that the main attributes of the mystical direction in Islam are given, becoming a powerful sacred instrument in comprehending the truth. Sufism is a philosophical, aesthetic, religious, ethical doctrine and lifestyle. In the past, it had embraced all spheres of social life, influenced, and often determined the creative thinking of poets, musicians, architects, artisans, and other creators. Nowadays Sufism is an active practice of religious life in an unorthodox Islam. It is becoming a source of inspiration for contemporary composers and poets. Many ideas of Sufism were in conflict and opposition with the official line of the orthodox faith. Among these ideas was music, for which the Sufis use the term «sama» (literally «listening»). In Sufism, music as one of the ways to comprehend God, had special power. This study presents the theoretical aspect of the music and poetry influence on the aesthetic side of Sufism. Based on the research of Islamic scholars, and most importantly on the literary, philosophical works of the Sufis, previously not used with scientific intentions; Let us present a picture of the vision and understanding of the musical and aesthetic side of unorthodox Islam. It is also important to rediscover the relationship between the emergence and introduction of the musical aesthetics of Sufism into the modern musical ritual practice of an unorthodox Islam

The rapid growth of cities all over the world has inevitably led to the aggravation of economic, social and environmental problems. In this regard, developing «green», low-carbon, circular and other new economic models is necessary. Transport sector is an important source of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. The purpose of this work is to assess the impact of urban public transport, especially electric buses, on the air quality. The authors have analyzed international and Russia's experience of the low-carbon development of urban public transport and evaluated the environmental effects of transitioning to electric buses in Moscow using a regression model and data visualization tools. The results have shown that integrating electric buses into an urban transport system can be considered as a step towards the low-carbon development of the transport sector. The authors have identified a decrease in carbon monoxide (CO) pollution in the districts of Moscow where there are electric bus routes. Although the authors managed to demonstrate positive aspects of using e-buses instead of traditional ones, the proposed hypotheses were not fully confirmed due to limited data and a small number of electric bus routes at an early stage of the project. The results of the work can be used both in theoretical studies of sustainable development and practical implementation of programs for the low-carbon development of an urban transport network

"Why have Latin American democracies proven unable to confront the structural inequalities that cripple their economies and stymie social mobility? Brian Palmer-Rubin contends that we may lay the blame on these countries' systems of interest representation, which exhibit "biased pluralism," a system in which the demands of organizations representing economic elites--especially large corporations--predominate. A more inclusive model of representation would not only require a more encompassing and empowered set of institutions to represent workers, but would also feature spaces for non-elite producers--such as farmers and small-business owners to ahve a say in sectoral economic policies. With analysis drawing on over 100 interviews, an original survey, and official government data, this book focuses on such organizations and develops an account of biased pluralism in developing countries typified by the centrality of patronage--discretionarily allocated state benefits. Rather than serving as conduits for demand-making about development models, political parties and interest organizations often broker state subsidies or social programs, augmenting the short-term income of beneficiaries but doing little to improve their long-term economic prospects. When organizations become diverted into patronage politics, the economic demands of the masses go unheard in the policies that most affect their lives, and along the way, their economic interests go unrepresented." - Back cover

This book masterfully analyzes the last six crises of the global economy. It evidences that the crises are the most important phenomenon in economic life, and it highlights how crucial it is for economists to understand their causes and development. The book coherently combines a thoughtful theoretical analysis of crisis theory with a profound empirical analysis of their stubborn occurrence. Readers will be convinced of the relevance of the global economy as the righteous unit of economic analysis despite the dominance of the national economies. Sergio Cmara Izquierdo, Professor of Political Economy and Head of the Department of Economics, Universidad Autnoma Metropolitana-Azcapotzalco This book is about the crises of the world economy that have occurred from the 1970s to the present day. It makes the specific case that the global economy has experienced six crises during this 50-year period. Crises of the global economy are periods of substantial slowdown in world economic activityas measured by investment, industrial production, trade, or unemploymentin which many national economies are technically in recession. To pose the existence of crises of the global economy implies that the world economy is a real entity with its own dynamics; it implies also that the usual approach that views national economies as the appropriate units of economic analysis has major limitations. The author provides data illustrating the global and regional manifestations of these crises of the world economy, elaborates on the concepts of world economy and economic crisis, and discusses the theories that have been used to explain them. The book shows how these recurrent global crises are discrete, countable phenomena, distinct states of an entity that can be appropriately referred to as the world or global economy, or world capitalism.

International audience ; The research of the feminine resistance to Franco's regime has come up against a certain kind of marginalization by the "classic" antifrancoist historiography, as well as with the difficulty of constructing its object of study. This difficulty is overcome thanks to theoretical contributions from other historiographies that light up some aspects of the feminine political activities traditionally attributed to the private sphere. The action taken by womenenters progressively in the field of what are considered to be resistance actions against the dictatorship. Starting from the assumption that the specific repression towards the dictatorship subjugated women, this research revises the state of our knowledge about this feminine resistance, from the ones carried out in the field of daily life, to the effective membership to clandestine organizations of the antifrancoist opposition. ; La investigación de la resistencia femenina al franquismo se ha topado con cierta marginación por parte de la historiografía "clásica" del antifranquismo y a la vez con la dificultad de construir su objeto de estudio. Esta dificultad va siendo superada con aportes teóricos procedentes de otras historiografías que permiten iluminar aspectos de la actividad política femenina que tradicionalmente habían sido considerados pertenecientes a la esfera de lo privado. Diferentes acciones realizadas por mujeres van entrando así en el ámbito de lo que se considera como acciones de resistencia a la dictadura. Partiendo de la represión específica a la que el régimen franquista sometió a las mujeres, este trabajo repasa el estado de nuestros conocimientos acerca de esta resistencia femenina, desde las resistencias llevadas a cabo en el ámbito de la vida cotidiana hasta la pertenencia efectiva a las organizaciones clandestinas de la oposición antifranquista.

The impacts of global longevity are commonly regarded as a threat to future social policy systems and structure of future welfare organizations. Focusing future needs of older adults, social gerontologists have long since recognized the importance of different types of socially interventional aspects. The methods used in this article are based on a survey of scientific literature on some central topics related to social gerontology. The main object is to discuss how these may be imbedded in rethinking future Swedish eldercare. Challenges and needs of longevity in Sweden have been met with the efforts of reshaping eldercare through new aspects of training and education. The article draws attention to the educational program of elderpedagogy at the University of Malmö. The main goal of elderpedagogy is to comprehend the assets of social capital and social experiences of old adults, in order to reduce social isolation. The scientific soil of elderpedagogy is made of influences from traditional social gerontology as well as social pedagogy. Despite its ambitions and well proven innovative potentials, elderpedagogy faces difficulties in recruiting students. The obstacles are well known in an international context where similar educational programs within social work focusing the social dilemmas of older adults share the fate of having to cope with ageist discursive attitudes towards later life. ; Sparčiai augantis vyresnio amžiau žmonių skaičius visame pasaulyje vis dažniau tampa socialinės politikos ir mokslinio diskurso objektu, ieškant sprendimų, kaip mažinti vyresnio amžiaus žmonių socialinę atskirtį. Straipsnyje keliami tyrimo klausimai siejami su inovacijų paieška teikiant socialines paslaugas vyresnio amžiaus žmonėms. Trisdešimties mokslinės periodikos publikacijų, analizuojančių socialinės gerontologijos problemas, analizė leido išryškinti keletą paplitusių intervencijos metodų ir programų, taikomų socialinės gerontologijos ir socialinės pedagogikos srityse. Minėtų publikacijų analizė taip pat leido įsitikinti, jog intervencijos programose retai skiriama dėmesio prevencinėms priemonėms. Be to, intervencinės programos, skirtos vyresnio amžiaus žmonių gerovės užtikrinimui, per menkai atsižvelgia į jų per ilgą gyvenimą sukauptą socialinę patirtį ir socialinį kapitalą. Norint sukurti inovatyvius socialinio darbo su vyresnio amžiaus žmonėmis metodus kaip tik būtina užtikrinti, kad kuriant vyresnio amžiaus žmonėms skirtas prevencines programas būtų atsižvelgta į jų sukauptą socialinį kapitalą antroje gyvenimo pusėje. Vienas iš tokių pavyzdžių yra Švedijos edukacinė programa, skirta vyresnio amžiaus žmonėms, vadinama elderpedagogy (verčiant lietuviškai – vyresnio amžiaus žmonių pedagogika). Kaip atskleidžiama straipsnyje, šioje programoje buvo sėkmingai integruotos tradicinės socialinės gerontologijos ir socialinės pedagogikos įžvalgos, kurios buvo nukreiptos sprendžiant socialines dilemas, pasitaikančias antroje gyvenimo pusėje, tokias kaip socialinė izoliacija ir nepalankus požiūris į vyresnio amžiaus žmones. Šiame kontekste siūloma inovatyvi edukacinė programa, konkrečiai elderpedagogy, kuri yra vertinga dėl to, kad integruoja vyresnio amžiaus suaugusiųjų sukauptą socialinį kapitalą ir mažina jų socialinę izoliaciją. Edukacinės programos, skirtos darbui su vyresnio amžiaus žmonėmis, turi potencialą plėtoti naujus būdus, mažinančius vyresnio amžiaus žmonių stereotipizaciją ir pesimistinį požiūrį į gyventojų senėjimo procesą. Vis dėlto, reikia pripažinti, kad įvairios edukacinės programos, praktikuojamos gerontologinio socialinio darbo bare, turi esminių trūkumų. Socialinis darbas su vyresnio amžiaus žmonėmis daugeliui studentų nėra patrauklus, taip pat kaip ir visas vyresnio amžiaus žmonių globos ir priežiūros sektorius nėra prioritetinis studentams renkantis profesijas. Tai atskleidė ir Malmės atvejis, kaip ir daugybė panašių studijų programų vykdymo patirtys kitose šalyse. Dominuojančio socialinio diskurso kontekste, kuris vaizduoja antrąją gyvenimo pusę neigiamų nusistatymų ir amžiaus stereotipų sąvokomis, būtina ištirti priežastis, dėl kurių jauni žmonės vengia rinktis socialinį darbą su vyresnio amžiaus žmonėmis.
