Testing explosive bubbles with time-varying volatility: the case of Spanish public debt
2023
In this paper the dynamics of the Spanish public debt-GDP ratio is analysed during the period 1850–2021. We use recent procedures to test for explosive bubbles in the presence under time- varying volatility (Harvey et al., 2016; Harvey et al., 2019, 2020; Kurozumi et al., 2022) in order to test the explosive behavior of Spanish public debt over this long period. We extend previous analysis of Esteve and Prats (2022) where assume constant unconditional volatility in the underlying error process.

Matlab/Simulink-Based Modeling for Industrial Electric Vehicle
2023
The land transport sector has passed through multiple phases of evolution in design, development, and manufacturing of vehicles. In particular, the construction site continues to progress towards the autonomous vehicles (also called self-driving), which were one of its big trends and have become a hot topic in the industrial and academic world. By now, with this new technology of autonomous driving, we can ensure safety by reducing the number of road accidents, also the environmental impact and energy consumption is lessened. The modeling and simulation phases had become a mandatory step to design, characterize and simulate vehicle dynamics while reducing the cost of development. As they pr…
Development of an Agile Requirements Risk Prioritization Method : A Design Science Research Study
2023
The practice of information systems development (ISD) has changed during the past two decades from very structured approaches to agile ISD methods. However, many methods available for managing requirements-related risks in the literature follow the structured way of doing ISD. If any, few methods offer solutions to prioritize requirements risks for agile ISD projects based on recognizing requirements-related risks and patterns to mitigate these. To fill this gap in the literature, we apply the design science research methodology to develop an agile requirements risk prioritization method together with industry experts (n=54) in Finland and New Zealand in a multi-year study. The method was d…
Staging the Narrative
2023
Throughout this thesis, I will look at the concept album as a discursive genre with a focus on La Dispute’s second full-length album Wildlife, released in 2011. By engaging with the narrative and the performance of Wildlife, I will analyze and discuss aspects that are germane to the musical genre of post-hardcore, which will aim to answer the following research question: How do authenticity and performativity inform the listener’s response to the interplay of narrative and performance in La Dispute’s concept album Wildlife? Part one of this thesis will focus on the theoretical framework I base my discussion on. The terms “performance” and “narrative” will be thoroughly examined, and my find…
Castellaccio of Monreale: From the Survey to the Visualisation of Virtual Reconstructions
2023
On Monte Caputo near Monreale stands a castle, presumably built in the twelfth century. The paper presents the first results of a still in progress survey activity, carried out on the entire monument using laser scanning and photogram-metric methods. This activity was carried out as part of a scientific agreement stipu-lated between the University of Palermo, Department of Architecture and the Club Alpino Siciliano, owner of the Castle. The graphic restitution of the survey provided new information and unpublished images of the castle. It was then possible to formu-late hypotheses on the virtual reconstruction of lost configurations. This was achiev-able thanks to the survey analytical read…

Turismo musical: conceptualización e implicaciones territoriales. Un análisis exploratorio de los procesos de coordinación turístico-musicales de la …
2023
Some important territories in Central countries have been offering high-value musical activities to their residents for the last two decades, which also attract visitors and therefore generate tourism. In order to address the conceptualization of musical tourism as a general objective, the thesis conducts an in-depth review of the literature and proposes an initial social, economic, and territorial analysis of music and its international evolution, as well as in Spain, where tourism activity constitutes a possible higher evolution for music and requires a local network with coordination relationships between public and private agents. However, there is little empirical evidence and academic…
Assessment of vineyard vigour and yield spatio-temporal variability based on UAV high resolution multispectral images
2023
Accurate, timely assessment of the vineyard on a field scale is essential for successful grape yield and quality. Remote sensing can be an effective and useful monitoring tool, as data from sensors on board Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) can measure vegetative and reproductive growth and thus directly or indirectly detect variability. Through the images obtained from UAV, the Vegetation Indices (VIs) can be calculated and compared with various agronomic characteristics of the vineyard. The objective of this study was to evaluate the multispectral response of the vineyard in three specific phenological phases and to analyse the spatial distribution of vegetative vigour. A multirotor UAV equi…
Teknofili, teknologiske trusler og tid - En tematisk analyse av TV-serien Years and Years
2023
In a world saturated with ever-evolving technology art forms such as TV-series can help us process and reflect on what is going on around us and give us insight into possible future developments with regards to technology. This thesis explores these themes by doing a treatment of the British dystopian TV-series Years and Years (2019) which depicts how a middle class family in Manchester experiences societal and technological changes from 2019 to 2035. Within the framework of research on contemporary complex TV series (Dunleavy, 2017; Mittell, 2015), this thesis undertakes an in-depth, chronological close reading of all six episodes of Years and Years where, among other things, dialogue, int…
Individual and shared digital repertoires : older adults managing digital services
2023
The rise of public and other non-recreational digital services is based on the idea of catering to the daily needs of the citizens cost-efficiently and with ease. Previous research has approached the use of digital services mainly from the perspective of an individual, while the significance of shared practices of use has attracted only a little attention. In this article, we (1) examine the incentives and limitations associated with the use of non-recreational digital services, which either encourage or discourage older adults to use them. Based on the first question, we then ask (2) how older adults in this study manage those non-recreational digital services they have chosen to use. Our …

2023
Este artículo profundiza en el papel jugado por las mujeres como mediadoras culturales en el siglo XVIII. Su punto de partida es la figura poco conocida de María, condesa de Fernán Núñez, embajadora de España en Portugal (1777-1787) y Francia (1787-1791), quien llevó una vida transnacional marcada por viajes, cortes internacionales y embajadas, todos espacios de sociabilidad tradicionalmente vinculados al estudio de la mediación cultural, ámbito que en los últimos años ha comenzado a ser estudiado desde la perspectiva de género. La experiencia de la condesa arroja luz sobre las contribuciones de las esposas de los embajadores y diplomáticos a la vida política y cultural europea y sobre las …
Socioeconomic and attitudinal differences between service users of private and public early childhood education and care in the Finnish context
2023
The marketisation and privatisation of welfare services such as early childhood education and care (ECEC) have been a global trend in recent decades. Earlier research suggests that market-based ECEC provision often leads to inequalities and stratification of service users. In Finland, as in other Nordic countries where provision of ECEC has traditionally been a public responsibility, ECEC services have also been undergoing marketisation and privatisation. Until now, especially in Finland, little has been known about service users of public and private ECEC or parental decisions between public and private ECEC. This study addresses that gap by showing that the clientele of private and public…
Trace amine associated receptors (TAARs) response to amines are largely affected by sequences variants
2023
The Trace Amine Associated Receptors (TAARs) are a family of chemosensory receptors that recognize volatile amines. These receptors are few in number and highly conserved, compared to regular olfactory receptors. Polymorphisms in the TAAR family can have a drastic impact on our perception of amine compounds. Our study combine numerical simulations with in vitro experiments to reveal the activation mechanisms of the human TAAR5 receptor. The study focused on the hTAAR5-S95P polymorphism, which is found at high frequency in Nordic countries. This mutation affects the perception of trimethylamine (TMA), making individuals less able to perceive the smell of rotten fish caused by this molecule. …
Yhteisöjen työkulttuurien piiloon jäävän dynamiikan tutkiminen
2023
Yhteisöissä kaikkea tekemistä ja olemistamme ohjaavat paitsi julkilausutut tavoitteet, myös vaikeammin havaittava, piiloon jäävä dynamiikka. Ongelmalliset tilanteet yhteisöissä liittyvät usein tähän piiloon jäävään dynamiikkaan, joka on läsnä kaikessa vuorovaikutuksessa. Tämä dynamiikka muokkaa ihmisten työn arkea, kokemuksia omista toimintamahdollisuuksista sekä yhteisöön kuulumisen mahdollisuuksista. Arkikielellä ilmaistuna tällaiset asiat menevät “ihon alle”, ja siksi saattavat aiheuttaa voimakkaitakin reaktioita. Yksilöiden työkyky ja hyvinvointi löytyvät usean organisaation henkilöstöstrategian keskiöstä. Työ- ja elinkeinoministeriön työolobarometrin (Lyly-Yrjänäinen 2022) mukaan työel…

Social and sensory deficits in Rett syndrome: neuroanatomical and behavioural analyses in a mouse model deficient for mecp2
2023
El síndrome de Rett es una enfermedad rara del neurodesarrollo que afecta a 1 de cada 10.000 niñas en todo el mundo, y que supone la segunda causa de discapacidad intelectual de origen genético en mujeres. No existe una cura eficaz, y el tratamiento médico es meramente sintomatológico. Sin embargo, esta condición es mucho menos estudiada que otras enfermedades raras que afectan principalmente a niños. Se sabe que el síndrome de Rett está causado principalmente por mutaciones en el gen MECP2, que se localiza en el cromosoma X, haciendo que los niños mueran durante el primer año de vida y las niñas desarrollen la sintomatología característica de Rett a los 6-18 meses de edad. Entre los síntom…

Real-Time Fault Diagnosis of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor and Drive System
2023
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) have gained massive popularity in industrial applications such as electric vehicles, robotic systems, and offshore industries due to their merits of efficiency, power density, and controllability. PMSMs working in such applications are constantly exposed to electrical, thermal, and mechanical stresses, resulting in different faults such as electrical, mechanical, and magnetic faults. These faults may lead to efficiency reduction, excessive heat, and even catastrophic system breakdown if not diagnosed in time. Therefore, developing methods for real-time condition monitoring and detection of faults at early stages can substantially lower maintenance…
