Legitimação discursiva do reforço militar em estados pacifistas. Análise da retórica de segurança no Japão e Shinzo Abe e Fumio Kishida (2014-2024)

Esta dissertação analisa as estratégias discursivas utilizadas por líderes políticos para legitimar a expansão de capacidades de defesa em Estados com identidades pacifistas, com o foco no caso do Japão no período entre 2014 e 2024. O caso japonês é paradigmático devido aos constrangimentos constitucionais únicos do Artigo 9.º num contexto de perceção de uma crescente instabilidade regional e global. (...).

2026-01-01 - Costa, Maria; Oliveira, Cidália; Martins, Nayra
There is a growing concern about the inclusion of individuals with disabilities, given this growing trend towards integration, this study seeks to assess the effectiveness of authentic leadership (AL) in organizations in promoting the inclusion of individuals with disabilities as employees. The effects of leadership on the integration and performance, so as the perceptions of leaders as authentic leaders in the organizational relationship with their subordinates are deepened in this research, based on a qualitative ground, interviews, content analysis. The insights from this study make it possible to promote the legitimacy of human resource management practices, with a focus on increasing job satisfaction and employee commitment, as well as the consequent improvement in individual and organizational performance. Finally, trends for creating a positive and collaborative work environment are described, as AL appears to be a promising tool for promoting diversity and inclusion in organizations.
Does a Foreign Language Make Us More Rational, or Just Less Capable of Moral Thought?
2026-05-16 - Costa, Eva Dias
Bilinguals often choose more utilitarian options when reasoning in a second language. This pattern is commonly read as improved rationality through emotional distance. I argue the better explanation is processing cost and reduced expressive capacity: these nudge people toward simpler, outcome-counting heuristics and thinner deontic justification. The critique has prior defenders, who drew on the somatic marker hypothesis to show that native-language reasoning tends to produce more ethical choices. The present paper extends that line of argument in a specific direction. Model-based decomposition studies show that the foreign-language effect reduces both deontological and utilitarian inclinations simultaneously; the apparent utilitarian shift arises because deontological sensitivity drops further in high-conflict dilemmas, not because utilitarian motivation increases. This dissociation is the empirical backbone my justificatory thinning account requires. Emotions here are not mere noise but epistemic inputs that supply moral concepts and appraisals; their attenuation under expressive constraint matters for how decisions are justified, not only chosen. I propose a processing-cost mechanism with testable predictions by proficiency and dilemma type, a five-item coding scheme for justificatory texture, and practical safeguards for multilingual deliberation – including native-language stages at key decision points, slower pacing with interpreters, and records that separate outcomes from justifications.
