The Role of Capital Accumulation in the Evolution of Total Factor Productivity in Spain
2017
GDP growth in Spain was strong for much of the last half century, whereas the country’s productivity performance during these years has been mediocre. The reasons for this situation have frequently been analysed with the focus on labour productivity. But, as this article highlights, the evolution of capital productivity should also be taken into account when looking for explanations for poor productivity performance. This article analyses the sources of growth in the Spanish economy, in comparison with major economies, and takes into account the effects that the improvements in the measurement of inputs (labour and capital) have on TFP estimates. Once problems are identified and the role pl…
Antônio Etíope e Benedito, o mouro: o escravinho Santo e o preto eremita
2009
This article discusses the process of canonization of two African slaves, Benedict and Anthony, who were taken to Sicily through a combination of privacy wars, the slave trade and conflicts between Christian states and the Ottoman Empire in the context of modern-era Mediterranean. Along with other "servants of God" with exemplary lives, they both joined the Franciscan Order and were elevated to the altar after their deaths, while enslaved Christians in African territory "took the turban" with some even became local Muslim authorities. Sicily, a Spanish vice-kingdom near the northern African coast, was a cultural crossroad and for at the same time a privileged laboratory for the activity of …
Colegialidad docente: un estudio comparativo (España/México) de validación de constructo para el diseño de un instrumento de evaluación
2014
En Bakieva (2011) y Bakieva, Jornet y Carmona (2012) se aportan las bases teóricas y una primera validación de constructo realizada en España para el desarrollo de un instrumento de evaluación de colegialidad docente en Educación Primaria y Secundaria. Aquí presentamos un segundo análisis comparativo de los juicios de dos grupos de profesorado de España y México, que han valorado las dimensiones que componen la Colegialidad Docente. Finalmente, identificamos tres dimensiones de Colegialidad Docente: Satisfacción Laboral, como percepción de lo que “recibe” el sujeto en esa institución, Clima Institucional, como percepción exterior de lo que se vive en la institucional, y Compromiso Instituci…
Evaluación de la efectividad de las actividades preventivas (planes de actuación preferente) sobre la incidencia de las lesiones traumáticas no morta…
2007
Fundamento. Los planes de actuación preferente (PAP) han sido las principales actividades preventivas desarrolladas por las comunidades autónomas (CCAA) frente a las lesiones por accidentes de trabajo (LAT) en España desde 1999. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar la efectividad de los planes. Métodos. Fueron seleccionados 4.714.080 casos incidentes de LAT no mortales con incapacidad laboral, ocurridos entre 1994 y 2004 durante la jornada laboral producidos por causas mecánicas y por sobreesfuerzo en empresas manufactureras y de servicios no públicos. A partir de las incidencias anuales se estimó en cada CCAA el porcentaje de cambio anual y su intervalo de confianza al 95% (IC95%) para e…
Distance learning training in genetics and genomics testing for Italian health professionals: results of a pre and post-test evaluation
2022
BackgroundProgressive advances in technologies for DNA sequencing and decreasing costs are allowing an easier diffusion of genetic and genomic tests. Physicians’ knowledge and confidence on the topic is often low and not suitable for manage this challenge. Tailored educational programs are required to reach a more and more appropriate use of genetic technologies.MethodsA distance learning course has been created by experts from different Italian medical associations with the support of the Italian Ministry of Health. The course was directed to professional figures involved in prescription and interpretation of genetic tests. A pretest-post-test study design was used to assess knowledge impr…
CLINICAL STUDY OF TRANSVERSAL AUGMENTATION IN BONE DEFECTS OF THE MAXILLARY AESTETHIC AREA
2015
Scope: To outline the importance of autogenic bone graft addition for correcting bone defects in the frontal and lateral maxillary area, and for achieving outstanding esthetic results in cases of large bone defects. Materials and method: A total number of 478 argumentations has been performed in the implantology and dental clinic of the Emergency Military Hospital Sibiu between 2009 and 2013. Results and discussion: The transversal rehabilitation techniques of frontal maxillary ridges, representing 57.2% of all addressed cases, were the most frequent ones, justifying the fact that the frontal maxillary area, aesthetically sensitive, is of special attention for both patients and specialists.…
Informal conversations in a community health program: process evaluation
2013
Objetivo: Evaluar la calidad del proceso de las conversaciones informales (CI) con perspectiva de género, realizadas por dos agentes de salud, una mujer y un hombre de origen latinoamericano, en un programa dirigido a población inmigrante. Diseño: Se utiliza triangulación de técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas con perspectiva de género. Método: Las CI transcritas se leen y analizan por tres investigadores, cuantificando variables socio-demográficas: sexo, edad y país de origen y seleccionando segmentos textuales que se agrupan en categorías. El análisis cualitativo se basa en la teoría fundamentada (grounded theory). Resultados: 165 (CI), el 53 % son con mujeres; fundamentalmente de Ecuad…
Ansiedad ante las ciencias y pruebas de evaluación científicas: efectos del nivel académico y género
2019
Resumen En este trabajo se hace una primera aproximación a la ansiedad de los estudiantes de secundaria ante las ciencias. Se han aplicado a 175 estudiantes de educación secundaria de diferentes cursos dos cuestionarios validados y una prueba de evaluación de competencias científicas. Un cuestionario mide la ansiedad ante diversos contextos científicos y el otro evalúa la ansiedad generada por una prueba de evaluación de ciencias. El análisis de los resultados obtenidos por medio de pruebas Anova evidencia que: a) la ansiedad ante situaciones científicas es mayor que en otras situaciones y disminuye significativamente con el aumento del nivel académico; b) la ansiedad generada en la prueba …
A Quantitative Method for Localizing User Interface Problems: The D-TEO Method
2009
A large array of evaluation methods have been propo sed to identify Website usability problems. In log-based evaluation, inform ation about the performance of users is collected and stored into log files, and used to find problems and deficiencies in Web page designs. Most methods require the programming and modeling of large task models, which are cumbersome processes for evaluato rs. Also, because much statistical data is collected onto log files, recognizing which Web pages require deeper usability analysis is difficult. This paper suggests a novel quantitative method, called the D-TEO, for locating problematic Web pages. This semiautoma ted method explores the decomposition of interacti…
Lead Excretion in Spanish Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
2015
Among epigenetic factors leading to increased prevalence of juvenile neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, exposure to metals, such as lead (Pb) have led to conflicting results. The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of Pb in the urine of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared with typically developing children (TD) age- and sex-matched, and to analyze any association between core symptoms of ASD, special diets, supplements intake or prescription drugs and the concentration of Pb. The study was performed in a group of children with ASD (n = 35, average age 7.4 ± 0.5 years) and TD (n = 34, average age 7.7 ± 0.9 years). Measurement of…
