TL;DR: According to the origin of the word "humanism" and the concept of humanitas where the former comes from, management could be called humanistic when its outlook emphasizes common human needs and is oriented to the development of human virtue, in all its forms, to its fullest extent as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: According to the origin of the word "humanism" and the concept of humanitas where the former comes from, management could be called humanistic when its outlook emphasizes common human needs and is oriented to the development of human virtue, in all its forms, to its fullest extent. A first approach to humanistic management, although quite incomplete, was developed mainly in the middle of the 20th century. It was centered on human motivations. A second approach to humanistic management sprang up in the 80's and centered on organizational culture. This implied a wider approach to the human condition while taking into account the influence of culture on behaviors and decision-making, but it is incomplete, too. There is a third approach to humanistic management, which is still emerging, that considers a business enterprise as a real community of persons. That means promoting unity and favoring the acquisition of human virtues. This humanistic management approach is a real challenge in order to achieve a higher moral quality in management, human virtues among people and more efficient organizations.

TL;DR: The present review examines the contribution of the endogenous opioid system and mu-opioid receptors to the modulation and adaptation of the organism to challenges, such as sustained pain and negative emotional states, which threaten its internal homeostasis.
Abstract: Unraveling the pathways and neurobiological mechanisms that underlie the regulation of physical and emotional stress responses in humans is of critical importance to understand vulnerability and resiliency factors to the development of a number of complex physical and psychopathological states. Dysregulation of central stress response circuits have been implicated in the establishment of conditions as diverse as persistent pain, mood and personality disorders and substance abuse and dependence. The present review examines the contribution of the endogenous opioid system and mu-opioid receptors to the modulation and adaptation of the organism to challenges, such as sustained pain and negative emotional states, which threaten its internal homeostasis. Data accumulated in animal models, and more recently in humans, point to this neurotransmitter system as a critical modulator of the transition from acute (warning signals) to sustained (stressor) environmental adversity. The existence of pathways and regulatory mechanisms common to the regulation of both physical and emotional states transcend classical categorical disease classifications, and point to the need to utilize dimensional, "symptom"-related approximations to their study. Possible future areas of study at the interface of "mind" (cognitive-emotional) and "body" (physical) functions are delineated in this context.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the relationship between political pluralism as a constitutional principle and the possibility of making such pluralism effective by the Mexican judiciary, specifically the Mexican Supreme Court, per the constitutional powers that were given to parliamentary minorities and partisan minorities to challenge before it in “Accion de Inconstitucionalidad” (unconstitutional law challenges).
Abstract: The research herein presented explores the relationship between political pluralism as a constitutional principle and the possibility, if such, of making such pluralism effective by the Mexican judiciary, specifically by the Mexican Supreme Court, per the constitutional powers that were given to parliamentary minorities and partisan minorities to challenge before it in “Accion de Inconstitucionalidad” (unconstitutional law challenges). It explores the influence that the different understandings of democracy have taken in these matters, from democracy as majority, democracy as pluralism and deliberative democracy. Approaching judicial behavior and case law observed by the Supreme Court in these filings, we seek to shape the judicial protection or enforcement of political minorities.

TL;DR: In this article, a panorama of metodos qualitativos of the metodo de pesquisa em Psicologia is discussed, with a particular focus on fenomenologia.
Abstract: Neste texto, pretendemos discutir questoes relativas ao metodo de pesquisa em Psicologia, partindo de uma perspectiva geral da Pesquisa Qualitativa e, em particular, da Pesquisa Fenomenologica. Nosso objetivo e empreender uma discussao em torno da diversidade dos metodos qualitativos de pesquisa em Psicologia, com especial destaque para o metodo fenomenologico, como um modelo compreensivo que apresenta significativa relacao com o fenomeno psicologico. Para tal, o artigo traca um panorama dos metodos qualitativos, discutindo alguns modelos, tais como o modelo etnografico, a pesquisa heuristica, a hermeneutica, a grounded-theory , a pesquisa historiografica, o estudo de caso, a pesquisa biografica, para por fim, destacar a pesquisa fenomenologica.
