This article examines the political activism of conservative civil society in postrevolutionary Mexico through the lens of American service clubs. It focuses on the case of the Rotary Club of Monterrey, which gathered the city's industrial elites and some of the most vocal opponents of the Mexican state, particularly the presidency of Lázaro Cárdenas (1934–40). Monterrey is significant because of its economic and political clout; by the 1930s, it was the powerhouse of heavy industry and in the 1940s a key center of support for the Partido Acción Nacional. After Monterrey Rotarians dissolved their club in 1936, following a disagreement with Rotary International's policy against political involvement, they regrouped and established throughout Mexico the only service club that blended pro-business goals with right-wing hispanidad ideology: the Club Sembradores de Amistad. This story illustrates how conservative civil society in Mexico adopted seemingly contradictory transnational influences (Catholic Hispanist thought and American service clubs) to challenge the postrevolutionary state in a less confrontational way.

Background and context: Rotary International (RI) is an international service organization whose stated purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and to advance goodwill and peace around the world. The Rotary Club of Dhaka Mavericks, with the notion to work on cancer care has partnered with an US-based organization to bring cancer care specialists from the US. These 2 partners mainly work with the National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital, the government-owned tertiary level cancer care and research institute in Bangladesh, to transfer the skills and provide vocational training to Bangladeshi oncologists, nurses and allied health professionals by oncologists, nurses and allied health professionals from the US. Aim: The overall aim of this project is to create a cadre of cancer care professionals - oncologists, nurses and allied health professionals - in Bangladesh who would have the vocational skills through on-the-job training and skills transfer session from experienced and skilled oncologists, nurses and allied health professionals from the US. Strategy/Tactics: The international platform of RI has been used to reach out to a US-based not-for-profit organization Partners for World Health. This US-based organization has sourced in cancer care professionals from the US and brought them to Bangladesh using the partnership of 1 rotary club in the US and another rotary club in Dhaka. Later on, these 2 Rotary Clubs and Partners for World Health collaborated with the National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital, where this long-term skills transfer and vocational sessions are taking place. Program process: In this partnership, the Rotary Clubs and the US-based organization arranged all necessary funding and relevant permission and accreditation, while the National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital patients - who were served - and oncologists, nurses and allied health professionals - who were trained. Outcomes: This partnership is currently for 5 years starting from October of 2017. The plan is to have 2-week vocational and skills transfer session every 6 months. The first session took place in October of 2017 and the second one on March of 2018. The third session will take place on October of 2018. In the October 2018 session, total 100 doctors and 35 nurses were trained on US standard cancer treatment protocols and chemotherapy administration. Number of complicated surgical techniques were also taught to the Bangladeshi surgeons by the US team. During the March session, the focus was on radiation oncology. A total of 100 radiation oncologists were trained on March of 2018.

A pesquisa etnográfica realizada entre 2008 e 2011 no Langata Rotary Club em Nairobi descreve a sociabilidade profissional, organizada em torno das reuniões semanais e dos eventos de caridade, das elites quenianas que se apropriam das representações globalizadas do sucesso econômico e social. A comunidade inter-regional do Rotary mostra a forma como as aspirações individuais de sucesso econômico, o reconhecimento social e a autoestima são combinadas com a promoção dos mantras da "boa governança" e da liberalização do Quênia. Os rotarianos têm um relacionamento paradoxal com o Estado, evitam a concorrência política e seus excessos e imitam suas práticas de legitimação: a burocracia, a tributação e, por meio da filantropia, o serviço público. A pesquisa, portanto, consegue mostrar o mais próximo possível, desde a intimidade de círculos de sociabilidade elitista, até a tradução para a vida quotidiana dos "jogos simbólicos de importação e exportação", através dos quais se legitima esse segmento das classes dominantes.

Clinical practice and research are frequently seen as two worlds apart, in psychiatry as in the vast majority of medical specialties. In order to bridge the gap between them, economic founds and grants are required, not always easy to obtain. In this contribution we report the birth of the Association for Research in Psychiatry (ARPSY) and its main activities. ARPSY was born in May 2016 thanks to a research prize assigned to dr. Giorgio Mattei by the eight Rotary Clubs of the Province of Modena, Italy (Rotary Club Modena, Mirandola, Carpi, Sassuolo, Vignola Castelfranco Bazzano, Frignano, Modena L.A. Muratori, Castelvetro di Modena Terra dei Rangoni, that altogether make up the so-called “Ghirlandina Group”). Aim of the association is to promote mental health among students and trainees, mental health professionals, patients and their families, and among the general population by means of fund raising, in order to finance research projects, clinical interventions and educational activities.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Le rotary-club, comme d'autres associations a un but humanitaire, celui de "servir" les desherites. Pourtant ce groupe est la plupart du temps assimile a une assemblee de notables qui se reunit pour traiter des affaires et organiser des banquets. On cherche ici a expliquer l'illegitimite du groupe qui n'est pas sans liaison avec son origine americaine. En decrivant la difference dans la maniere dont est defini le groupe et dont il fonctionne a l'interieur de chacun des espaces nationaux, on tente d'amorcer une reflexion sur la specifite du lien civique et des formes d'expression de la citoyennete dans les deux pays
LIKE MANY OTHER ASSOCIATIONS, THE ROTARY CLUB HAS HUMANITARIAN GOALS : "SERVING" THE DEPRIVED. YET AS A GROUP THIS CLUB IS PRIMARILY SEEN AS AN ASSEMBLY OF NOTABLES WHO GET TOGETHER TO DO BUSINESS AND ORGANIZE BANQUETS. WE TRY TO EXPLAIN THE ILLEGITIMACY OF THIS GROUP, IN FRANCE IN TERMS OF ITS AMERICAN ORIGINS. DESCRIBING THE DIFFERENT WAYS THE GROUP IS DEFINED AND HOW IT FUNCTIONS within DIFFERENT NATIONAL CONTEXTS, WE WOULD LIKE TO PROVOKE THOUGHT ABOU THE SPECIFICITY OF CIVIC LINKS AND THE FORMS OF EXPRESSION OF CITIZENSHIP IN THE TWO COUNTRIES

In this research, the spotlights are aimed on the historical years between 1959 and 1967, with the main purpose of showing the scenic arrangements of the installation, organization and performance of a Rotary Club in a geographical scenery that was in mutation phase. That territory, formerly denominated Promised Earth or Canaan of the Industry, was soon substituted by the nomenclature Steel Valley .The partners founders of that first Rotary Club conceived themselves as foreigners from the Canaan of the State of Minas that emanated "milk and honey". Native from another lands, they met each other and they were met in order to form a service club in the Nacional Valley of Redemption, but with intense institutional entails to an international corporation. Organized under the doctrine of the interest well understood, the associated agents, each one, with his composition and capital volume, of economic, cultural, social, symbolic or political nature, they allowed, through the mechanism of capital convertibility, to concentrate, in the regional community, a power, capable to produce real effects without apparent waste of energy. As a voluntary and oligarchical association, this service club was, in a way, a institutional vehicle, in the local sphere, of appropriation, incorporation, reproduction and diffusion of visions of world of the ideological corpus of International Rotary.
Nesta pesquisa, os holofotes estão apontados sobre os anos históricos, compreendidos entre 1959 e 1967, com a finalidade última de mostrar os arranjos cênicos da instalação, organização e atuação de um Rotary Club num cenário geográfico que se encontrava em fase de mutação. Esse território, outrora denominado Terra Prometida ou Canaã da Indústria, foi logo substituído pela nomenclatura Vale do Aço. Os Sócios fundadores desse primeiro Rotary Club conceberam-se como forasteiros da Canaã do Estado de Minas que emanava leite e mel . Originários de outras terras, encontraram-se e foram encontrados para formarem um clube de serviço no Vale da Redenção Nacional, mas com fortes vínculos institucionais a uma corporação internacional. Organizados sob a doutrina do interesse bem compreendido, os agentes associados, cada qual, com sua composição e volume de capital, sejam eles de natureza econômica, cultural, social, simbólico e/ou político, que permitiu, através do mecanismo de convertibilidade de capital, potencializar, na comunidade regional, um poder capaz de produzir efeitos reais sem dispêndio aparente de energia. Como uma associação voluntária e oligárquica, esse clube de serviço foi, em alguma medida, um veículo institucional, na esfera local, de apropriação, incorporação, reprodução e difusão de visões de mundo do corpus ideológico do Rotary Internacional.

Cette thèse porte sur les clubs Rotary pris comme “objet carrefour” et étudiés sous divers angles, notamment comme espace de sociabilité bourgeoise et espace politique à la fois national et transnational. Elle vise en particulier à faire progresser la connaissance des sociabilités bourgeoises. La thèse comporte cinq parties consacrées respectivement à la spécificité de l'objet et aux difficultés à l'approcher, au recrutement et aux caractéristiques de cette population, à sa sociabilité, aux liens entre sociabilité et politisation, et à la dimension philanthropique et internationale de l'action rotarienne. L'auteure s'appuie sur un travail de terrain de quatre ans, avec une véritable immersion quasi ethnographique dans le milieu, et utilise diverses approches théoriques pour étudier cet objet longtemps ignoré des sciences politique et sociales

A service club is a voluntary association of individuals, professionals with a common goal. It is an area of civic and political socialization where its members implement citizenship. Rotary International is one of the largest service club in the world with 105 years of existence. It has been conducted a quantitative and qualitative research to verify the characteristics of a service club of Rotary International, Rotary Club São Paulo Avenida Paulista, which develops social projects in various areas relevant to society. It is presented the socio-economic relations of the associates and relationships that they lay in the formulation and implementation of social projects. The analysis of network and social capital is the pillar of support of the members for the existence of social relevance. It discusses the importance of partnerships in the implementation of projects. The donation system, that permeates the club, brings an understanding for the commitment of the volunteers involved. Through network analysis it has been verified the internal and external relationships of the club, as well as the movement of capital by reciprocity and the motivations of volunteers. The research has revealed that the associate profile is a well established businessman, interested in using their profession to improve the quality of life of society. The internal network between members, reveals a leadership based on knowledge. The leadership does not follow the hierarchical structure of the club. The national and international network has proved to be small without large amounts of bonds. There are subgroups where the members participate in several at once. Social capital highlights the cooperation and trust between members of the international organization. The associates use the individual networks to implement the projects. There is a retribution of volunteer work performed, proving the theory of giving supports and motivates members
Um clube de serviço é uma associação voluntária de pessoas, profissionais, com um objetivo comum. É um espaço de socialização política e cívica onde seus associados implementam a cidadania. O Rotary Internacional é um dos maiores clubes de serviços no mundo, com 105 anos de existência. Foi feita uma pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa para verificar as características de um clube de serviço do Rotary Internacional, o Rotary Club São Paulo Avenida Paulista, que elabora projetos sociais relevantes em diversas áreas para a sociedade. É apresentado o perfil sócio-econômico dos associados e as relações que eles estabelecem na formulação e execução dos projetos sociais. A análise da rede e do capital social constitui o pilar de sustentação dos associados para existência de projetos sociais de relevância. Discute-se a importância das parcerias na execução dos projetos. O sistema de dádiva que permeia o clube traz um entendimento sobre o comprometimento dos associados voluntários. Mediante a análise da rede, verificaram-se os relacionamentos internos e externos do clube, assim como a circulação do capital social pela reciprocidade e pelas motivações dos voluntários. A pesquisa revelou que o perfil do associado é o de um empresário já bem estabelecido, interessado em realizar por meio de sua profissão a melhoria de qualidade de vida da sociedade. A rede interna entre os associados revela uma liderança baseada no conhecimento e não na estrutura hierárquica do clube. A rede nacional e internacional revelou-se pequena, sem grande quantidade de laços. As motivações formam subgrupos nos quais os associados podem participar em vários ao mesmo tempo. O capital social evidencia a cooperação e a confiança existente entre os membros da organização internacional. Os associados se utilizam de suas redes individuais para implementar os projetos. Existe uma retribuição do trabalho voluntário efetuado, comprovando a teoria da dádiva como sustentação da motivação dos associados

Este trabalho é resultado de uma pesquisa que tem como escopo central apresentar como ocorreu o desvelamento da gênese da Escola Estadual Rotary de 1° Grau, entre os anos de 1956 a 1971, levando em consideração as relações estabelecidas entre o público e o privado nesta instituição de ensino. Tem-se como objetivos específicos responder algumas questões ligadas à implementação desta escola no município de Ituiutaba que, nos anos selecionados, era considerado “Capital do Arroz”, por apresentar destaque em pujança econômica pela sua produção intensiva deste grão. Para tanto, nosso propósito ainda foi conhecer e analisar as diretrizes educacionais governamentais presentes no período em questão; analisar os documentos, recortes jornalísticos e iconográficos referentes ao surgimento da Escola Rotary nos anos de 1956 a 1971; compreender e caracterizar os agentes históricos neste processo e quais mecanismos foram efetivados para a permanência destes na escola, assim como discutir como era organizado o tempo e o espaço para o seu funcionamento; descobrir a relevância da implantação da escola e sua contribuição para a população do município; identificar de que forma circulou o pensamento educacional na época pautado nas categorias difundidas por meio da Instituição Rotary Club Internacional; e entender como se deu a correlação/conexão entre a organização internacional e a Escola Rotary. O procedimento metodológico para a investigação aqui proposta ficou definido em cinco fases distintas: visita à Escola Estadual Rotary de 1° Grau para levantamento no arquivo escolar dos documentos oficiais e da iconografia da escola; visita à Fundação Cultural de Ituiutaba para leitura de jornais referente ao período proposto e à Prefeitura Municipal de Ituiutaba para leitura das atas da Câmara Municipal; visita à Instituição Rotary Club de Ituiutaba para leitura das atas do período em questão, além de jornais e revistas rotarianas; consulta ao IBGE para compreensão dos dados estatísticos oficiais referentes ao município e ao Arquivo Público Mineiro; e levantamento de referencial bibliográfico, das mensagens presidenciais, das Revistas Pedagógicas e do ensino. Os resultados sinalizaram que a relação entre público e privado presente na gênese da escola comprova que estas nem sempre aparecem no cenário da história da educação brasileira sob forma de conflitos, mas também de troca e convívio. Isto possivelmente evidenciou a omissão do Estado brasileiro para com a educação pública. Assim, concluimos que esta pesquisa proporcionou o desvelamento a respeito da situação da escola pública instituída no município de Ituiutaba no período histórico selecionado, em especial a respeito da gênese da Escola Rotary. Ter concretizado este trabalho ampliou ainda mais o corpus de conhecimento sobre instituições escolares, ao se realizar um movimento transnacional que discutiu a condição da institucionalização da escola pública não apenas em nível local, mas regional e nacional. Neste movimento transnacional, compreendemos ainda a respeito da vinculação da Instituição Rotary Club de Ituiutaba com o Rotary Club Internacional refletindo, dessa maneira, a sua dinâmica de funcionamento, bem como a ideologia implícita nos princípios rotarianos que se refletiram no interior da Escola Rotary e na sociedade ituiutabana por meio de algumas categorias.
This work is the result of a research whose main purpose is to present the discovery of the genesis of the 1st Grade Rotary State School between 1956 to 1971, taking into account the relationships established between the public and the private in this educational institution. Its specific objectives are to answer some questions related to the implementation of this school in the municipality of Ituiutaba that in the selected years was considered "Rice Capital", because it standed out in economic strength for its intensive production of this grain. Therefore, our purpose also was to understand and analyze the governmental educational guidelines present in the period in question; to analyze documents, newspapers and iconographic clippings related to the emergence of the Rotary School in the years 1956 to 1971; to understand and characterize the historical agents in this process and what mechanisms were made for their stay in school, as well as discuss how the time and space for their operation was organized; to discover the relevance of the school's implementation and its contribution to the population of the municipality; to identify how educational thinking circulated during the era in the categories disseminated through the International Rotary Club Institution; and to understand how the correlation/connection between the international organization and the Rotary School has taken place. The methodological procedure for the research was defined in five distinct phases: a visit to the 1st Grade Rotary State School for the collection of official documents and school iconography in the school archives; visit to the Cultural Foundation of Ituiutaba to read newspapers for the proposed period and to the Ituiutaba Town Hall to read the minutes of the City Council; visit to the Rotary Club of Ituiutaba to read the minutes of the period in question, Rotary journals and magazines; consultation with the IBGE to understand the official statistical data regarding the municipality and the State Public Archive; and survey of bibliographic references, presidential messages, Pedagogical Magazines and of teaching. The results showed that the public and private relations present in the genesis of the school prove that they do not always appear in the Brazilian history of education in the form of conflicts, but also of exchange and conviviality. This possibly evidenced the omission of the Brazilian State towards public education. Thus, we conclude that this research provided the disclosure regarding the situation of the public school instituted in the municipality of Ituiutaba in the selected historical period, especially regarding the genesis of the Rotary School. Having completed this work has expanded the corpus of knowledge about school institutions even more, by making a transnational movement that discussed the condition of the institutionalization of the public school, not only at the local, but also in regional and national level. In this transnational movement we also understand the connection between the Rotary Club of Ituiutaba and the International Rotary Club, thus reflecting its dynamics and the ideology implicit in the Rotary principles reflected in the Rotary School and in the Ituiutaban society by some categories.

There are numerous projects developed by non-governmental organizations promoting peace and international understanding. There are numerous people involved who use their time off volunteering for a cause. However, centenary organizations like Rotary International still have a low degree of notoriety. This thesis is presented in form of case study, unveils outlines of what Rotary is and its main challenges: aging membership and the reduced level of public recognition. To take a representative picture of what is happening in various international clubs 47 surveys were conducted in geographically different clubs. Then, it was created a case study based on these data and also my knowledge of the movement, as a member, participant in various conferences, congresses, seminars, workshops and district councils, as well as conversations and interviews with Rotarians. The suggested approach in solving the case will make it possible to come into direct contact with representatives from Rotary, knowing their actions at the source and have a chance of “being one of them” suggesting strategies for the problems presented, by creating a plan of action to conquer new members and communicate the concept in their community properly.
São inúmeros os projetos desenvolvidos por organizações não governamentais em prol da paz e da compreensão mundial. São inúmeras as pessoas envolvidas e que tomam o seu tempo livre como voluntários por uma causa. Porém, organizações centenárias como o Rotary Club continuam a ter um reduzido grau de notabilidade. Esta tese em forma de Estudo de Caso, dá a conhecer linhas gerais do que é Rotary, e alguns dos seus principais desafios: envelhecimento do quadro social e pouco nível de reconhecimento público. De modo a ter um panorama representativo do que acontece em vários clubes internacionais, foi realizado inquéritos a 47 clubes. Em seguida, foi criado um caso de estudo baseado nestes dados e também no meu conhecimento do movimento, enquanto integrante, participante em várias conferências, congressos, seminários, workshops e conselhos distritais, bem como em conversas e entrevistas a rotários. A abordagem proposta na resolução do caso fará com que seja possível entrar em contacto direto com representantes de Rotary, conhecer na fonte as suas ações e “estar no seu lugar” sugerindo estratégias adequadas para os problemas apresentados, criando um plano de ação que visa conquistar novos membros e comunicar melhor o conceito na comunidade.

The most recent data available from the Ministry of University and Research (2017) confirm that in Italy, students of foreign origin who have reached the age of secondary school still prefer to enrol in technical and professional institutes rather than in high schools. The same data also reveal how their school performance tends to be on average lower than that of their peers not of foreign origin, especially in scientific or technical subjects. Very often, the causes of this are to be found in a not yet adequate level of CALP. In this paper we illustrate a project (Po.Li.S.: Potenziamento Lingua dello Studio), the purpose of which was to improve the CALP of these students and in so doing their overall school results and motivation to study.
