The Financial Crisis: An Introduction
2020
This section discusses the origins of the Eurozone crisis in European Monetary Union before discussing various dimensions of how the Eurozone coped, its impact on integration, and the crisis’ implications for the future of the EU. While the authors all show that the EU’s response to the financial crisis reflected the scenario ‘muddling through,’ they have different perspectives on the future of integration post crisis. Rosen and Olsen point out that the austerity policies implemented after crisis resulted in collective protest movements across Europe. Tranoy and Stenstad highlight the failure of financial sector reforms to reset the social role of finance in a more equitable way. Caporaso a…
La construcción de los límites a la libertad de expresión en las redes sociales
2016
La generalización de las comunicaciones electrónicas, junto a otras muchas transformaciones, ha facilitado enormemente tanto la comunicación interpersonal como la participación en el debate público a cualquier ciudadano. Como resultado, el pluralismo se ha visto indudablemente enriquecido, así como las posibilidades de recibir información y ser miembro activo de la comunidad política. Otras consecuencias de esta transformación, sin embargo, presentan algunas aristas. Así, esta ampliación del espacio público ha limitado también los espacios de estricta privacidad, incluyendo aquellos ámbitos donde históricamente la expresión de todo tipo de ideas y opiniones quedaban en la intimidad, que cad…

2013 ECONOMY MOMENTUM CHALLENGES FOR NEXT 10 YEARS
2013
Last 5 years of almost unprecedented financial market turmoil it s still generating comprehensive crisis theories, market paradigms and nevertheless unprecedented situations. The aim of this paper is to explain 2013 milestone momentum for new market rules and regulations implementation - Basel III. The expected immediate cushion factors as well the possible negative impact on financial markets is presented from financial institutions perspective. Finally, the paper seeks for an exploratory after 10 years scenario connected with imminent market evolution and tendencies.
¿Marxismo o diferenciación social?
2018
Para la sociología, el debate con el marxismo forma uno de los telones de fondo intelectuales y prácticos en el surgimiento de esta joven ciencia durante el siglo xix. Uno de los puntos más interesantes de esta disputa trata del grado necesario de diferenciación de las categorías analíticas para comprender los mecanismos básicos de la sociedad. La capacidad y la necesidad de reducir la compl ejidad que requiere cada ciencia, si quiere ll egar a un nivel de generalización que permita la acción social, se contrapone a una diferenciación analítica que tenga en cuenta la máxima cantidad posibl e de elementos relevantes para la comprensión de lo social. El presente artículo alumbra las relacione…
Providing a general framework about spin-off success factors in complex environments
2018
Spin-off organisations are the main vehicle for knowledge transfer from universities and/or high educational institutions (HEIs) to the economic system. Spin-off firms are complex phenomenon which requires particular conditions to its creation, survival and development. In the last decade, the scientific debate recognised the importance and the role of spin-off organisations, but the main factors and actors that impact on their creation, survival and development are not always clear. This paper aims to fill this gap, shedding light on this black box. In a first step, this research will identify the main 'success factors' for creation of spin-offs. In the second step, the relationship betwee…
Pre‐clinical evaluation of the effect of a volume‐stable collagen matrix on periodontal regeneration in two‐wall intrabony defects
2021
Aim To histologically evaluate the effect of a new collagen matrix on periodontal regeneration. Materials and methods Two-wall intrabony defects were surgically created bilaterally distally to the maxillary first and third pre-molars in beagle dogs. The defects were randomly allocated to open flap debridement either with (test) or without (control) a volume-stable collagen matrix (VCMX). After 12 weeks, the dogs were euthanized, and the specimens histologically processed. Descriptive, histomorphometrical (vertical gain of periodontal tissues) and statistical analyses were then performed. Results Healing was uneventful in most cases. Residual VCMX was still present and showed integration int…
Five-year results following treatment of intrabony defects with enamel matrix proteins and guided tissue regeneration
2004
Treatment with enamel matrix proteins (EMD) or guided tissue regeneration (GTR) has been shown to enhance periodontal regeneration. However, until now there are limited data on the long-term results following these treatment modalities.The aim of the present clinical study was to present the 5-year results following treatment of intrabony defects with EMD, GTR, combination of EMD and GTR, and open flap debridement (OFD).Forty-two patients, each of whom displayed one intrabony defect of a probing depth of at least 6 mm, were randomly treated with one of the four treatment modalities. The following parameters were evaluated prior to surgery, at 1 year and at 5 years after: plaque index, gingi…
Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Periodontal Regeneration Using a Porous Collagen Scaffold.
2021
(1) Aim: To immunohistochemically evaluate the effect of a volume-stable collagen scaffold (VCMX) on periodontal regeneration. (2) Methods: In eight beagle dogs, acute two-wall intrabony defects were treated with open flap debridement either with VCMX (test) or without (control). After 12 weeks, eight defects out of four animals were processed for paraffin histology and immunohistochemistry. (3) Results: All defects (four test + four control) revealed periodontal regeneration with cementum and bone formation. VCMX remnants were integrated in bone, periodontal ligament (PDL), and cementum. No differences in immunohistochemical labeling patterns were observed between test and control sites. N…
