This article aims towards studying the paradigm shift proposed by the Supreme Court of Justice in Sentence SC-13925 (2016) that discards the causal nexus as criterion of imputation of damages and proposes a substitution for the normative imputation. Thus, the Court includes the criterion aforementioned and uses it in the Sentences S-C002 (2018) as an imputation element. Likewise, the fundamentals for the restructuring of civil responsibility are constituted. The second one recognizes the position of the Supreme Court of Justices regarding the new element introduced to the sentences that are the object of study. Lastly, the article performs an explanation to the restructuring of civil responsibility. For achieving these objectives, the study found through document and jurisprudential analysis that there is a doctrinal contraposition in regards to causality as a criterion for imputation. Furthermore, the study concluded that, due to the flaws in causality, a restructuring of civil responsibility is imperative. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Southeast Mexico is a region of profound social, economic, environmental and political contrasts, with vast natural wealth, and for this reason, a factor in constant environmental conflicts for several decades. For this reason, one of the critical aspects that we will address in this work in a specific way, refers to the perverse logic known in specialized literature as "the paradox of abundance" or "the curse of natural resources" (Acosta, 2016: 391), which deals with the marked contradiction between the wealth generated by the extraction and export of abundant natural resources and the meager benefits for the bulk of the population. This historical natural wealth has been, paradoxically, the trigger for the great social and economic transformations linked to international exchanges and the globalization process. Under this tenor, development policies have accelerated in the region a process of disagreement between the productive sectors immersed in modernization, with a significant part of society facing a climate of uncertainty and violence, since in the Mexican southeast generating a fragmentation and accentuated social differentiation. This work pretends to be a first approach, especially descriptive, of the socioenvironmental conflicts in Campeche. Based on a newspaper review of the local newspapers with the highest circulation and impact, such as Por Esto, Tribuna de Campeche and Expreso de Campeche. From 2011 to mid-2017, 39 environmental conflicts were registered, which were classified as follows: agricultural, fishing, forestry, industrial and urban. This will allow the construction of a socio-territorial analysis of the collective socioenvironmental actions in the state and their respective responses as collective actions of the actors involved.

This case examines the corporate restructuring process of SMU Group, a Chilean retail supermarket chain. The restructuring process was triggered by an internal situation involving operational inefficiencies between the years 2007 and 2012, following an aggressive acquisition process. These problems were the result of an aggressive "Buy-and- Build" strategy, thanks to which by the end of 2012 the Group had grown to become the third largest player in the supermarket industry in Chile. Although this strategy allowed the conglomerate to consolidate its competitive position, it was based on inorganic growth that hid the differences in the operational performance of the different chains and did not allow the Group to take advantage of its own synergies in the process of consolidating the holding company. Around mid-2013, this lack of definition in SMU's competitive strategy resulted in a serious deterioration of its financial position, due to the significant indebtedness taken on to finance acquisitions, as well as the insufficient generation of cash flow. Furthermore, when compared to the two main players in the industry, SMU showed lower levels of profitability and sales per square meter. To overcome this crisis, SMU implemented a three-year strategic plan (2014-2016), reinforcing three fundamental areas: finance, operations and commercial. The goal was to restore financial viability to the conglomerate by the end of 2016. After executing its plan, SMU achieved an improvement at the operational and commercial levels. However, in the first months of 2017, the risk rating agencies still had doubts about SMU's future performance and its crisis management capacity. For this reason, Álvaro Saieh, who was serving at the time as Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, had several questions: could SMU's 3-year operational and strategic restructuring plan be considered successful? what are the critical variables that will ensure the sustainability of the company and its growth in the coming years? will I be questioned again like I was in 2013? and finally, what possibilities do I have to create corporate value in the future?

This paper aims to shed light on the key semantic and syntactic aspects of an understudied Spanish construction, («to put something ~ someone to + infinitive»). It will be argued that the preposition a plays a crucial role in determining its causative semantics and its aspectual restrictions (inchoativity); furthermore, a syntactic analysis will be developed in order to explain its hybrid properties, between control and restructuring.

Sovereign debt crises constitute one of the most pressing shortcomings in the current state of financial globalization. The evolution of international sovereign credit markets has made sovereign debt restructuring processes more complex. Unlike in corporate bankruptcies, sovereign debt defaults entail systemic national and global macroeconomic implications. The current contractual approach to sovereign debt restructuring may become increasingly less effective in overcoming problems requiring collective action. However, this is the only viable option at present. Recent proposals from the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) could substantially improve this approach. Although interesting as an idea, the statutory alternative is still not feasible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to enunciate those different ways of looking and perspectives that try to explain the importance of the regional dimension development into a context of global transformations of the economy, in order to understand and analyze the particular cases and processes that occur around the global regional spaces and have influence in territorial organization. For this purpose I consider as startup the structural changes of the world economical processes from the last decades of the XXth century that forced the searching of new alternatives for local and regional development with new adjusted models according to world's economical patterns. I identify two fundamental aspects of the regional economic development from these theoretical points of view: on one side, exist the importance of the territorial dimension and, on the other hand, we have the endogenous process criteria.

The determinism of childhood captured the attention of psychoanalytic thought and overshadowed the crucial role of adolescence, which Freud himself recognized. New approaches to the specificity and importance of adolescence begin to crop up in the mid-twentieth century, supported in clinical practice with adolescents developed after WWII. Finally the integration of the concept of "afterwards" {Nachträglichkeit} in these theories best validates the thesis that adolescent psychic transformations are not confined to the recapitulation of previous problems.

The new concept of the "reset economy" refers to rehabilitating resources and abilities that have been damaged when business projects have developed adversely, generating new projects and skills that only become visible following an unsatisfactory prior experience. This economic reaction is called a reset because it resembles the process of activating the operation of devices that stop working properly at a certain point for reasons which are not final. In theory, the social economy presents negative peculiarities in a reset analysis because it is less able to anticipate the vagaries of the markets strategically and is slower in identifying alternatives. Following case studies of businesses, however, it is concluded that social economy enterprises have displayed greater flexibility in their adjustments to the recent economic crisis.

Ante la presencia de dificultades financieras las empresas tienen a su alcance diferentes alternativas para reestructurarse y evitar su liquidación. Estas medidas se pueden clasificar en operativas y financieras. En este artículo repasamos dichas medidas, describimos los procedimientos existentes para llevar a cabo la reorganización de la empresa y analizamos las consecuencias que los intentos de reestructuración tienen sobre el valor de los recursos propios. También estudiamos qué ocurre cuando la reorganización fracasa, esto es, cuando la empresa debe liquidarse. A lo largo del trabajo mostramos ejemplos de las medidas tomadas por algunas de las empresas que presentan problemas financieros en la actualidad. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Beginning with a review of Cuba's economic situation, this study analyzes some aspects relevant to the Island's new insertion into the world economy in the 1990s and at the beginning of the 21st century. It proposes that the impact of external factors during the last decade of the 20th century sharpened its structural economic problems, obliging the country to take decisions on economic policy that led inevitably to an economic and institutional transition during that period. It then examines how the transformation of productive and institutional structures gradually occurred, including property rights, with severe inefficiencies, political fluctuations, and with considerable social costs and high Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rates in unfavorable external conditions due to the U.S. embargo. Finally, it concludes that Cuba is undoubtedly an economy in transition with large ambiguities regarding the route it will have to follow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Literature on management, work and organizational psychology commonly shows a positive influence of both teamwork and work teams on both the psychosocial needs and the organizational outcome. However, such overrepresentation of optimistic outputs might not realistically reflect the consequences of teamwork implementation to organizations, groups and individuals. This paper explores the many difficulties associated with teamwork implementation, specifically those difficulties linked to the restructuring of both power and work organization. This manuscript also examines individual resistances associated to teamwork-driven organizational change. This paper does not question teamwork potential in terms of achieving individual, group and organizational goals, but its effectiveness when adequate structure, training, management and support are missing. A more critical approach to the costs and benefits of teamwork implementation would allow a better use of work teams in organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
