The well-being of employees in terms of eudemonia has recently gained popularity among researchers. The aim of the study was to verify the relationship between employee well-being and mental resilience. The study was conducted on 109 soldiers from the corps of privates and non-commissioned officers. The subjects were men aged 27 to 57 years (mean age: M = 37.37, SD = 5.60), mainly soldiers of the Polish Air Force (89%). The study used the Workplace Well-being Questionnaire (EWWQ), the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9) and the Psychoimmunological Structure Scale (SSP), which examined resilience. The results showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between employee well-being and mental resilience. The obtained results are in agreement with previous scientific reports. Engagement as a mediator between correlation mental resilience (will and desire for a meaningful life, coping in difficult situations and proactive behaviour) and employee well-being.

A partir de un ejercicio etnográfico, este artículo identifica apuestas de paz territorial impulsadas por dos organizaciones campesinas del suroccidente colombiano, distintas a las de los gobiernos de Juan Manuel Santos e Iván Duque para implementar el Acuerdo Final de Paz, ligadas a unos horizontes propios de territorialidad campesina. Se identifica la existencia de unos conflictos de índole territorial, de los cuales emergen elementos ligados a una Paz Territorial Campesina, como la soberanía alimentaria, la gobernanza comunitaria y el reconocimiento del campesinado como sujeto de derechos.

Este artículo analiza el feminicidio en México: definición, tipología e incidencia (2015-2021) a través de los datos proporcionados por el Secretariado Ejecutivo del Sistema Nacional de Seguridad Pública (SESNSP) referidos en la incidencia delictiva del fuero común; se realiza un análisis a nivel estatal y municipal de los registros para identificar
las entidades y municipios con mayor cantidad de reportes en el periodo analizado. El supuesto de la incidencia del feminicidio intencional vincula la motivación y dolo por parte de los perpetradores desde presupuestos sexistas y misóginos, tal como lo anuncian las tipologías relativas al feminicidio en México.

Por meio de um estudo empírico comparativo, a presente pesquisa propõe-se a comparar as práticas judiciais para apuração de autoria de ato infracional e os discursos legitimadores em Porto Alegre (RS) e no Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Verificou-se, em ambos os locais, um abismo entre teoria e prática. Percebeu-se que o sistema de justiça juvenil fluminense não confere maiores garantias aos adolescentes, em comparação com o gaúcho. Observou-se a permanência de resquícios da lógica tutelar nas decisões judiciais e nas manifestações dos atores processuais em sentido contrário às conquistas do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA).

<p class="first" id="d416445e73">The biomedical crisis of COVID-19 in India has amplified several other crises, namely;
social, cultural, communal, religious, geographical, economic, political, racial and
gender. It is important to note that these crises are not new - they were already
socio-culturally embedded and functional in the pre-COVID-19 era. With the inception
of COVID-19, these crises have been further aggravated through the re-configuration
and re-systematisation of various forms of social, cultural, political, economic,
racial, geographical, religious and economic violence. With respect to these arguments,
this commentary focuses on how the outbreak of COVID-19 has led to an alarming rise
in racial hatred against the residents of Northeast India in the contemporary era.
Through socio-historically analysing the problematic rise of racial hatred, the commentary
also identifies the various ways through which the pandemic of COVID-19 is not only
functioning as a disease, but also as a “disease” of body-politics and racism.

<p>A atividade conhecida como policiamento vem passando por importantes mudanças em diversas partes do mundo. O processo de expansão dos serviços de segurança privada figura como importante aspecto dessa transformação.

El origen de la pasión por el fútbol se halla en los años veinte y treinta del siglo pasado, período en el que se produjo la profesionalización del deporte. El Real Madrid, con sus éxitos en la Copa de España y la Liga, fue uno de los equipos que contribuyó a la consolidación del deporte como espectáculo de masas. Los medios de comunicación como la prensa, la radio y el cine dieron testimonio de esta difusión del fútbol. La expansión del espectáculo deportivo se produjo al mismo tiempo que la población reivindicaba una mayor participación en los asuntos públicos. El ocio de masas convivió con la movilización política, no fue un instrumento para someter a la población.

Congressional scholars have a unique opportunity to reconnect the histories of American state and society, a task central to the new generation of political historians. As MarkLeff (1995:852) recently argued, social and political historians have come to realize that they “ignored the other at their peril” and that “interaction was the only way to interrogate power—how it was structured and changed, where it was contested, how it was exerted, what its impact was, and what assumptions shaped the discourse that framed it” (see also Gillon 1997).To accomplish the challenge of integrating social and political history, congressional historians will have to examine how the institution’s development related to external forces. Much of what has been written about Congress thus far remains insular.A handful of books published in the past two decades suggest how integration can be accomplished. InSectionalism and American Political Development 1880–1980, Richard Bensel (1984) situates the internal development of Congress within the larger context of sectional tensions between the “industrial northern core” and the “underdeveloped southern and western periphery.” He pays close attention to key policy decisions and the ongoing struggle between decentralized committee and centralized partisan power to show the influence of sectionalism.
La situación de violencia institucionalizada es anticristiana, “por más que los responsables de ella se empeñen en profesar de palabra su cristianismo”: el documento hace una larga enumeración de violencias de los derechos: asesinatos, fusilamientos, torturas, detenciones arbitrarias, rechazo al derecho del “Habeas Corpus” y de la defensa legal de los presos políticos, atentados contra la libertad de expresión, contra el derecho de asociación, etc.
Se persigue sistemáticamente a todo el que disiente de las medidas del gobierno: se tilda de extremista, comunista o guerrillero a los opositores del gobierno. Se olvida que la paz solo se obtiene creando un orden nuevo que comparta una justicia más prefecta entre los hombres, y que “la oposición ejercida por los grupos de poder pueda dar impresión de mantener la paz y el orden, pero en realidad no es sino el German continuo e inevitable de rebeliones y guerras” (CELAM, Medellin, Paz, 14a).
