Los programas de cumplimiento penal : Aspectos generales
2021
In Spain, as in many other countries, corporate criminal liability has been a reality for years, as well as criminal compliance programs that allow them to be mitigated or exonerated from liability. In this article we will present some of the main keys to consider for the implementation of these mechanisms. This is a series of general considerations that can serve as a guide to understand the complex system of crime prevention provided by the organization and management models in the corporate environment.
Energy compensation and adiposity in humans
2021
Publisher Copyright: © 2021 The Authors Understanding the impacts of activity on energy balance is crucial. Increasing levels of activity may bring diminishing returns in energy expenditure because of compensatory responses in non-activity energy expenditures.1–3 This suggestion has profound implications for both the evolution of metabolism and human health. It implies that a long-term increase in activity does not directly translate into an increase in total energy expenditure (TEE) because other components of TEE may decrease in response—energy compensation. We used the largest dataset compiled on adult TEE and basal energy expenditure (BEE) (n = 1,754) of people living normal lives to fi…
Ability of Preissmann slot scheme to simulate smooth pressurisation transient in sewers
2010
Urban drainage networks are generally designed to operate in a free-surface flow condition. However, as a consequence of heavy rainfall events or network malfunctioning, filling of sewers (pressurization) and network overflowing may occur. Several softwares are commonly used to simulate floods in drainage networks and their results are usually thought to be reliable and robust. However, no specific studies have been carried out on the behaviour of these softwares during the pressurization transient. Actually, mathematical models based on the momentum equation appear to be more suitable in correctly simulating the pressurization moving jump but models based on the energy equation are much mo…
Universities' Reporting on SDGs: Using THE Impact Rankings to Model and Measure Their Contribution to Sustainability
2021
Higher education institutions (HEIs) have voiced growing concerns about sustainability issues since Agenda 2030 was approved, but this is not enough for societal stakeholders seeking and delivering innovation and excellence. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action, and pose a challenge for HEIs as for the efforts made to fulfill them and knowing how to assess their performance. However, the metric management system implemented by HEIs quickly led to rankings emerging, which compare HEIs to metrics not related to the sustainability dimensions of the 17 SDGs. The main aim of the paper is to assess the level of repo…
A Contribution to the analysis of the first Spanish public-private partnership in primary and specialized maternity care: a social network analysis a…
2021
The La Ribera University Hospital (Alzira, Valencia) was the first experience of public-private partnership in the Spanish National Health System. In addition to the need to coordinate two levels of health care (primary/specialised), two models of human resource management (public/private) had to be coordinated. To illustrate this complexity, the group of midwives in the health area has been taken, analysing their relational patterns through the methodological approach of Social Network Analysis. In terms of results, out of a population of 31 midwives, those of the public model occupy peripheral positions and cooperate poorly, both internally and externally. However, those of the private mo…
Human Resource Management Models: Aspects of Knowledge Management and Corporate Social Responsibility
2014
AbstractOver time, changes have affected not only the attitude towards people employed in organizations and the knowledge and intellectual capital, but also social values and responsibility. The aim of the paper is to analyse and assess the aspects of knowledge management and corporate social responsibility and their development in different human resource management (HRM) models. While researching the issue of HRM impact on the organizational performance, the authors have analysed several HRM models that show the relationship between HRM practices, the factors influencing their choice, and the organizational outcomes. The models differ with the unitary approach, which believes that employe…
Importancia de la integración e implementación de un Modelo de Gestión de Medicamentos en programas de Cooperación Internacional
2020
La gestión de los medicamentoscontinúa siendo un reto en la mayoría de los paísesen vías de desarrollo, dónde no existen sistemasde gestión que garanticen la calidad/disponibilidadde los medicamentos, lo cual implica un grave impacto en la salud de la población atendida.Es por ello muy importantedisponer de unModelo de Gestión de Medicamentos. Este modelo esundocumento que sirve como referencia para organizar el trabajo en torno a los medicamentos y cubre todos los pasos involucrados en la gestión de los mismos; desde su compra hasta la utilización por parte del pacientey en su caso,suposterior eliminación regulada.Los documentos,protocolos y guíasque serán parte de este modelo estarán siem…
Receiving water body quality assessment: an integrated mathematical approach applied to an Italian case study
2011
This study presents a basin-scale approach to the analysis of receiving water body quality considering both point and non-point pollution sources. In particular, this paper describes an extensive data gathering campaign carried out in the Nocella catchment, which is an agricultural and semi-urbanised basin located in Sicily, Italy. Two sewer systems, two wastewater treatment plants and a river reach were monitored during both dry and wet weather periods. A mathematical model of the entire integrated system was also created. Specifically, a detailed modelling approach was developed by employing three well known models: Storm Water Management Model, GPS-X and Soil and Water Assessment Tool. T…
Anthropogenic Influences in Land Use/Land Cover Changes in Mediterranean Forest Landscapes in Sicily
2016
This paper analyzes and quantifies the land use/land cover changes of the main forest and semi-natural landscape types in Sicily between 1955 and 2012. We analyzed seven representative forest and shrubland landscapes in Sicily. These study areas were chosen for their importance in the Sicilian forest panorama. We carried out a diachronic survey on historical and current aerial photos; all the aerial images used to survey the land use/land cover changes were digitalized and georeferenced in the UTM WGS84 system. In order to classify land use, the Regional Forest Inventory 2010 legend was adopted for the more recent images, and the CORINE Land Cover III level used for the older, lower resolut…
