EMU and Trade Revisited: Long-Run Evidence Using Gravity Equations

2013

In this paper, we present evidence of the long-run effect of the euro on trade for the twelve initial EMU countries for the period 1967–2008 from a double perspective. First, we pool all the bilateral combinations of trade flows among the EMU countries in a panel cointegration gravity specification. Second, we estimate a gravity equation for each of the EMU members vis-a-vis the other eleven partners. We apply panel cointegration techniques based on factor models that account for cross-dependence and structural breaks. Whereas the joint gravity equation provides evidence on the aggregate effect of the euro on intra-European trade, by isolating the individual countries, we assess which of th…

A fuzzy approach to multidimensional material deprivation measurement: the case of foreigners living in Italy

2014

This paper provides a new approach to the measurement of multidimensional material deprivation, based on partial order theory and on fuzzy set measurement. The main feature of the methodology is that the information needed for the deprivation assessment is extracted directly from the relational structure of the dataset, avoiding any kind of scaling and not proper aggregation procedure, so as to respect the measurement level of the data. An empirical illustration, using data from a special EU-SILC survey on migrants in Italy, provides a new insight on the material deprivation of foreigners living in Italy

Màdel, una modalidad de pelota a mano para todos los públicos

2021

El màdel és una nueva modalidad deportiva nacida en 2013 en València con el objetivo de aprovechar las instalaciones de un deporte en auge como el pádel para la práctica de la pelota a mano (Pilota Valenciana). Desde su aparición, cada vez son más los practicantes y los clubes que se han interesado por esta práctica. Una modalidad con un gran componente lúdico y recreativo, muy completa físicamente. Gracias a las características de las instalaciones, el material necesario para su práctica y su reglamento de fácil comprensión y aprendizaje se erige en un activo muy interesante para el fomento de la iniciación a la práctica deportiva para todos los públicos.

Box 35, Jyvaskyla, 40014 Finland. Email: juha.m.holma{at}jyu.fi The aim of this study was to examine the beliefs health care personnel have about patients who experience family violence. This was done by analyzing the positions constructed for such patients using content analysis. The data comprise six focus groups conducted with physicians, nurses, social workers, and psychologists working in a maternity unit, a psychiatric ward, and an emergency department. The research team collected the data in…

Tēvu bērnības pieredze, depresijas un trauksmes simptomi perinatālajā periodā un to saistība ar viņu iesaistīšanos jaundzimušā aprūpē

2016

Maģistra darba pētījuma mērķis ir longitudināli izpētīt, kāda saistība pastāv starp vīrieša bērnības pieredzi un viņa iesaisti jaundzimušā bērna aprūpē, kā arī, vai topošo tēvu psiholoģiskais stāvoklis bērna perinatālajā periodā paredz viņa iesaistīšanos jaundzimušā aprūpē. Pie tam bija nozīmīgi izprast vīrieša psiholoģiskā stāvokļa dinamiku perinatālajā periodā, un vai izmaiņas psiholoģiskajā stāvoklī ir nozīmīgs faktors vīrieša iesaistei sava bērna aprūpē. Maģistra darba pētījums sastāvēja no diviem etapiem. Pētījumā pirmajā etapā piedalījās 36 respondenti - vīrieši vecumā no 23 - 39 gadiem, kuri uz pētījuma brīdi pirmo reizi savā dzīvē gatavojās kļūt par tēviem, un kuru bērnu mātes atrad…

Salud del cuidador familiar de personas en situación de dependencia: modelo explicativo

2014

En el primer capítulo se describe el envejecimiento de la población en el que nos encontramos actualmente y analizamos el concepto de dependencia, haciendo referencia tanto al propio término como a los desencadenantes de la limitación funcional y a los principales tipos de apoyo. Se hará referencia también al mito del envejecimiento como sinónimo de dependencia y al marco legislativo en el que se enmarcan las personas dependientes. Además, analizaremos la relación entre el cuidado familiar y los recursos comunitarios. Finalmente, nos cuestionaremos la futura disponibilidad del cuidador familiar a la hora de proveer cuidados en el hogar y describiremos los motivos por los que el fenómeno de …

Appropriateness of requests for human serum albumin at the University Hospital of Palermo, Italy: a prospective study

Beneficial coinfection can promote within-host viral diversity

2018

Abstract In many viral infections, a large number of different genetic variants can coexist within a host, leading to more virulent infections that are better able to evolve antiviral resistance and adapt to new hosts. But how is this diversity maintained? Why do faster-growing variants not outcompete slower-growing variants, and erode this diversity? One hypothesis is if there are mutually beneficial interactions between variants, with host cells infected by multiple different viral genomes producing more, or more effective, virions. We modelled this hypothesis with both mathematical models and simulations, and found that moderate levels of beneficial coinfection can maintain high levels o…
