Entre la ortodoxia y la revolución: Schumpeter y Keynes
2019
Tal vez, Joseph Alois Schumpeter y John Maynard Keynes fueron los economistas que mejor diagnosticaron la naturaleza de los nuevos cambios del capitalismo. ¿Cambios? ¿Qué cambios? ¿Cuándo? A finales del siglo XIX. En este texto se repasan sus principales contribuciones. En el contexto de la crisis, la profunda crisis de la modernidad más reciente. En este artículo se examina y se revisa su distinto compromiso, su compromiso con la realidad política. Sus propuestas fueron no solo un ataque contra la ortodoxia heredada, sino también una alternativa razonable y razonada a la revolución.
Lawrence Kohlberg i el seu llegat
2018
espanolEn esta introduccion al monografico sobre Kohlberg y su obra, se detallan los diferentes proyectos que protagonizo – de investigacion y practica en Psicologia moral– con un amplio equipo de colaboradores, que cristalizo en el famoso «Manual de Medicion del Juicio Moral». Otra iniciativa destacable fueron los encuentros democraticos, donde se votaban los asuntos academicos; asi como la evaluacion exhaustiva de los efectos del programa mencionada, sobre alumnos y docentes, en los talleres de mediciones de entrevistas de juicios morales. Gran impacto causaria por todas partes la teoria de los seis episodios del desarrollo del razonamiento moral, asi como el desarrollo de la empatia, en …
Kieltenopetus vuosiluokilla 1–3: Miten oppilaat siihen suhtautuvat ja mitä tuloksia sillä saavutetaan puolen vuoden opiskelun aikana?
2019

 
 
 As of January 2020, all Finnish pupils are to start their foreign language studies in the first grade. This study examined the effects of early language teaching by comparing pupils in grades 1, 2 and 3. The pupils had started studying English in August 2017 and had all had roughly the same number of English lessons by the time of the study in early 2018. The study examined pupils’ attitudes towards English and studying English as well as how pupils use English in their free time. Pupils also self-assessed their English skills and completed vocabulary and text segmentation tasks. The results show that the pupils had an overall positive attitude towards English and langu…
La motivació del mestre i de l'alumne, des de la pedagogia agustiniana
2019
espanolLa motivacion es uno de los elementos por excelencia de la educacion convirtiendose en la herramienta esencial para conseguir que el alumno o el receptor consiga comprender lo que escucha para alcanzar el tan manido aprendizaje significativo. Encontramos numerosas definiciones que concluyen en decir que en la motivacion influyen tanto factores o variables personales como contextuales. Tratandose, pues, de un elemento esencial en la educacion es importante volver nuestra mirada a los siglos iv y v y, mas concretamente, al pedagogo, teologo, filosofo y maestro de retorica San Agustin de Hipona. Los motivos que nos han llevado a fijarnos en esta figura es por su aportacion al desarrollo…
An Emulator Toolbox to Approximate Radiative Transfer Models with Statistical Learning
2015
Physically-based radiative transfer models (RTMs) help in understanding the processes occurring on the Earth’s surface and their interactions with vegetation and atmosphere. When it comes to studying vegetation properties, RTMs allows us to study light interception by plant canopies and are used in the retrieval of biophysical variables through model inversion. However, advanced RTMs can take a long computational time, which makes them unfeasible in many real applications. To overcome this problem, it has been proposed to substitute RTMs through so-called emulators. Emulators are statistical models that approximate the functioning of RTMs. Emulators are advantageous in real practice because…

Predicting Earthquake-Induced Landslides by Using a Stochastic Modeling Approach: A Case Study of the 2001 El Salvador Coseismic Landslides
2023
In January and February 2001, El Salvador was hit by two strong earthquakes that triggered thousands of landslides, causing 1259 fatalities and extensive damage. The analysis of aerial and SPOT-4 satellite images allowed us to map 6491 coseismic landslides, mainly debris slides and flows that occurred in volcanic epiclastites and pyroclastites. Four different multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) models were produced using different predictors and landslide inventories which contain slope failures triggered by an extreme rainfall event in 2009 and those induced by the earthquakes of 2001. In a predictive analysis, three validation scenarios were employed: the first and the second …
Factor selection procedures in a Google Earthtm aided landslide susceptibility model: application to the Beiro river basin (Spain)
2011
A procedure to select the controlling factors connected to the slope instability has been defined. It allowed to assess the landslide susceptibility in the Rio Beiro basin (about 10 km2) over the north-eastern area of the city of Granada (Spain). Field and remote (Google EarthTM) recognition techniques allowed to generate a landslide inventory consisting in 127 phenomena. Univariate tests, using both association coefficients and validation results of single parameter susceptibility models, allowed to select among 15 controlling factors the ones that resulted as good predictor variables; these have been combined for unique conditions analysis and susceptibility maps were finally prepared. In…
Indirect chronology method employing rare earth elements to identify Sagunto Castle mortar construction periods
2017
A novel indirect chronology method has been developed to identify Sagunto Castle construction periods. The method is based on the use of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to determine rare earth elements (REE) and other trace elements in mortars. Additionally, a no destructive geochemical analysis based on X-ray fluorescence (XRF) was employed for major elements determination. Collected chemical data were processed through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to highlight any differences among the mortars belonging to different buildings and construction periods. The results show that PCA analysis permits to discriminate construction periods according to mortar sample REE …
Sexual dimorphism in the vertebral wedging of the human lumbar vertebrae and its importance as a comparative framework for understanding the wedging …
2020
Lumbar lordosis is a key element of the upright posture, being interpreted as a consequence of bipedal locomotion. There is consensus that the generic modern human pattern of metameric vertebral body wedging is sexually dimorphic in modern humans. However, recently published studies have compared this pattern with other hominins, such as Neanderthals. These tried to establish whether the (male) Neanderthal lumbar vertebrae express a pattern that falls within or outside the range of modern human males. In the present study, data collected by 3D landmarks of the lumbar vertebrae of modern humans from different geographic regions and Neanderthals (Ntotal = 505 individual vertebrae) are used to…
