Refugees’ perception of their new life in Germany

2021

Since 2015, Germany has been hosting noticeable incoming flows of refugees and asylum seekers and despite the quality of life of refugees is expected to be improved in the aftermath of their arrival to Germany, refugees are still facing several problems of integration and economic deprivation. Using a sample of individuals from the first wave of the German IAB-BAMF-SOEP Survey of Refugees, we present some preliminary analyses on their life satisfaction (LS). A gamma glm was estimated to focus on the association among levels of LS and main socio-demographic characteristics as well as post-migration factors. Greater stability (both in the legal and personal sphere) in refugees’ lives is posit…

Long-termism e short-termism nella ricerca di strategie di sostenibilità

2021

The focus of legislators, authorities and academics on the temporal dimension of sus-tainable actions has led to the progressive re-emerge of the contrast between long-termism and short-termism, that is frequent indeed in corporate law. The orientation to long-term decisions and attempts to stem the short-term ones have been a main point of recent legislative measures on this topic. This paper aims to critically re-evaluate the above contrast, highlighting some of the most relevant areas that most need regulatory interventions and suggesting abandon-ing the frequent short-term disfavor.

La nueva oportunidad de la hipoteca inversa

2021

The reverse mortgage is a credit or loan guaranteed by a mortgage that falls on the applicant?s habitual residence, granted at once, or through periodic benefits, to a person who must be over a certain age or prove a degree of disability or dependency, and is not due until the time of death. In view of the doubts that the future of the public pension is raising and the concentration of savings in Spanish property, the reverse mortgage is once again being put on the table as a viable alternative to complement a public pension with little revaluation, in view of the increase in life expectancy and expenses after retirement.

Gastroplites cantianus Spath, 1937: an arctic ammonite in the Upper Albian from the anglo-Paris basin (Wissant section, northern France).

2021

Gastroplites cantianus Spath, 1937, an ammonite from the arctic province of the boreal realm, is described in the Upper Albian ofWissant, Pas-de-Calais (northern France). The occurrence of this exotic ammonite in the anglo-Paris basin, which itself belongs to thenorth european province of the boreal realm, is linked to an overall rise of the sea level (transgressive interval of a third-order eustaticcycle superimposed on a second order cycle). It is probably a shell that drifted post-mortem to Europe. This discovery allows to clarifythe correlations between the northern european and arctic provinces of the boreal realm.

Miracle diets : when eating guidelines cause health problems

2021

Globally, 1.9 billion adults are overweight, 650 million of which are obese, which in turn impacts both health and the economy. Treating obesity involves strategies such as physical activity and dietary planning, always under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Recent decades have brought many fad diets, although they originated at the beginning of the twentieth century. However, these can lead to health problems among their users. A practical way to detect them is that they promise rapid weight loss (more than 1 kg per week), are allegedly effortless, impose excessive energy restrictions, and exclude food or nutrients from the diet.

Design of Asymmetric Shift Operators for Efficient Decentralized Subspace Projection

2021

A large number of applications in decentralized signal processing includes projecting a vector of noisy observations onto a subspace dictated by prior information about the field being monitored. Accomplishing such a task in a centralized fashion in networks is prone to a number of issues such as large power consumption, congestion at certain nodes and suffers from robustness issues against possible node failures. Decentralized subspace projection is an alternative method to address those issues. Recently, it has been shown that graph filters (GFs) can be implemented to perform decentralized subspace projection. However, most of the existing methods have focused on designing GFs for symmetr…

The EU-Africa Trade Agreements

2021

This chapter scrutinizes the successive rounds of EU-Africa agreements and the four-tier preference system of the European Union for developing countries, with special attention to the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPA). Full EPAs and interim EPAs are reviewed in terms of the resulting country configurations in Africa and their impact on the officially intended consolidation of African regional communities. The analysis concludes that the artificial EPA configurations do not correspond to any existing REC in Africa. If they last, they will have a very critical effect on Africa’s regional economic integration, all the more as they start to be emulated in other trade agreements between Afr…

Gram-scale selective synthesis of WO3−x nanorods and (NH4)xWO3 ammonium tungsten bronzes with tunable plasmonic properties

2021

Localized surface plasmon resonance properties in unconventional materials like metal oxides or chalcogenide semiconductors have been studied for use in signal detection and analysis in biomedicine and photocatalysis. We devised a selective synthesis of the tungsten oxides WO3-x and (NH4)xWO3 with tunable plasmonic properties. We selectively synthesized WO3-x nanorods with different aspect ratios and hexagonal tungsten bronzes (NH4)xWO3 as truncated nanocubes starting from ammonium metatungstate (NH4)6H2W12O40·xH2O. Both particles form from the same nuclei at temperatures >200 °C; monomer concentration and surfactant ratio are essential variables for phase selection. (NH4)xWO3 was the prefe…

A Models-to-Program Information Systems Engineering Method

2021

The Model-Driven Development paradigm aims to represent all the information system features through models. Conceptual-Model Programming offers a similar approach, but with a focus on automatic code generation. Both approaches consider modeling and traceability of different abstraction levels, where each level can be tackled with different modeling methods. This heterogeneity introduces a challenge for the quality of the traceability and transformations among models, especially when aiming for automatic code generation. In this paper, we introduce a holistic conceptual-model programming method to generate code from different abstraction levels (from the problem space to the solution space),…

Computational Demography of Religion: A Proposal

2021

This paper proposes a new approach to the demography of religion and non-religion that builds on and expands agent-based modeling and social simulation techniques developed in prior work by the research teams led by the authors. Traditional demographic approaches to religion and non-religion understandably focus attention on self-reports of religious identity or affiliation, where longitudinal data is most readily available, and they employ a cohort-component methodology to make projections. We argue that demographic projections of religion and non-religion could be enhanced by using multi-agent artificial intelligence models of societies. After artificial societies with suitably cognitivel…

A General Approach on Picard Operators

2021

In the chapter there are presented the recent investigations concerning the existence and the uniqueness of fixed points for the mappings in the setting of spaces which are not metric with different functions of measuring the distance and in consequence with the various convergence concepts. In this way we obtain the systematized knowledge of fixed point tools which are, in some situations, more convenient to apply than the known theorems with an underlying usual metric space. The appropriate illustrative examples are also presented.

Wood-decaying fungi in old-growth boreal forest fragments: extinctions and colonizations over 20 years

2021

According to ecology theory, isolated habitat fragments cannot maintain populations of specialized species. Yet, empirical evidence based on monitoring of the same fragments over time is still limited. We studied the colonization–extinction dynamics of eight wood-decaying fungal species in 16 old-growth forest fragments (<14 ha) over a 20-year period (1997–2017). We observed 19 extinctions and 5 colonizations; yet, the distribution of extinctions and colonizations did not differ from the one expected by chance for any of the species. Twenty-six percent of the extinctions took place in two natural fragments amid large forest–peatland complexes. (Romell) Bourdot and Galzin decreased …
