The economic impact of future increase in tropical cyclones in Japan
2009
Published version of an article from the journal:Natural Hazards. Also available from SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11069-010-9522-9 This article estimates the non-first-order economic loss in Japan due to a future increase in tropical cyclones. One possible effect of global warming could be the increase in intensity of tropical cyclones. Using historical storm tracks between the years 1978 and 2007 and altering their intensities due to this potential increase in their intensity, this paper calculates the future potential regional GDP loss in a certain area that is affected by tropical cyclones. Most of the literature is concerned with physical damage and the loss of lives due to…
La crisis que hace temblar al capitalismo

Territorio industrial, crisis económica y género: 'No trabajo, pero me siento bien' ¿Las contradicciones de un modelo agotado?
2013
¿Cómo afecta la crisis económica en un ámbito local concreto, con una industria muy concreta y a la población masculina? Ha ido surgiendo una re‐construcción de la masculinidad, tal y como hasta ahora la veníamos entendiendo, encontrándose esta en tránsito hacia una redefinición de sus valores y de una nueva representación social que se mostraría en sus manifestaciones públicas. Con todo, se observa una situación polarizada que se mantiene aún en algunos sectores productivos que son más reticentes a esos cambios. Se estigmatiza al hombre que no actúa según un patrón identificador dentro del grupo de iguales. Tomando como base entrevistas realizadas a 80 hombres desempleados procedentes de l…
THE INFLUENCE OF SPATIAL COGNITION IN THEORY OF MIND AND CENTRAL COHERENCE TASKS: STUDY IN AUTISM
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ADS) is a severe developmental disability characterized by impairments in social interaction and communicative skills. Despite a growing research interest in the field, the causes of these impairments remain unknown. Two lines of research, Theory of Mind (ToM) and Central Coherence (CC), using experimental tasks such as visuo-spatial perspective Taking (VPT) and the local and global levels have suggested that visuo-spatial attention and spatial variables in the self-versus other recognition, may be the basis of the cognitive processes underlying social interaction. According to spatial attention, such as observed in the Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) may contribu…
The One Savior Paradigm
2009
The one savior paradigm is discussed not only as doctrinal aspect of religious teachings but as one of mostly manifested aspect of our psychic, that should be adequately investigated. We suggest simple idea that could serve as starting cognitive model for the one savior paradigm, that might give effect in considering global aspects of humanity, e.g., such as global economy and exact sciences in more friendly connection with religious thinking.
MR3090050 Reviewed Belabbas, Mohamed Ali On global stability of planar formations. IEEE Trans. Automat. Control 58 (2013), no. 8, 2148–2153. (Reviewe…
2014
The focus of the paper is planar formation control, i.e. the design of control laws to stabilize agents at given distances from each other, under the constraint that the dynamics of each agent only depends on a subset of the other agents. The main contribution of the paper is the following: It is shown that a simple four-agent formation cannot be globally stabilized using twice differentiable control laws (this is not the case for three-agent formations), even up to sets of measure zero of initial conditions. This suggests that for four-agent formations one needs to look for control laws that are either not differentiable (or even not continuous) or of higher order in the dynamics. The appr…
Enrique Dupuy de Lôme (1851-1904).La biografía global de un diplomático valenciano
2021
Resumen: Esta Tesis Doctoral tiene como objetivo el estudio de la creciente interconectividad mundial a lo largo del siglo XIX, especialmente, durante su último tercio, a través de las vivencias del diplomático Enrique Dupuy de Lôme y Paulín (Valencia, 1851-Paris, 1904). Como viajero empedernido, burgués y escritor su vida estuvo marcada por la movilidad, el cruce de fronteras y la atención al comercio. Los vínculos familiares tuvieron gran influencia en su vida, por lo que sus experiencias también han tenido un papel muy importante a lo largo del estudio. Desde sus antepasados franceses, vinculados con la burocratización estatal francesa, hasta el exiliado francés Claude-Louis Dupuy que or…

Prevalence of 'borderline' values of cardiovascular risk factors in the clinical practice of general medicine in Italy: results of the BORDERLINE stu…
2011
Introduction: The prevalence of patients with 'borderline' levels of cardiovascular risk factors has been rarely investigated, being often reported in studies evaluating abnormal values of these parameters. The BORDERLINE study represents a pilot experience to primarily identify the prevalence of 'high-normal' conditions, such as pre-hypertension, lipid and glucose levels in the upper range of normality in the setting of general practice in Italy. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of patients with 'borderline' values of cardiovascular risk factors in Italy. Methods: Involved physicians were asked to evaluate the first 20 outpatients, consecutively seen in June 2009. …
