The evolution of the Polish central bank’s views on Eurozone membership

2016

AbstractThis article analyses the reports published by the National Bank of Poland (NBP – Narodowy Bank Polski) between 2004 and 2014. These reports shed light on the evolution of official thinking on the possibility of Polish participation in the Eurozone, revealing a decline in enthusiasm over time. This change has taken place against a backdrop of a shift in general public attitudes (in Poland) towards the European Union, and a more specific shift in public opinion on the desirability of monetary integration on the supranational level caused by the economic crisis. These two factors explain the shift in conclusions and arguments contained in the official reports of the National Bank of P…

Effects of the European Monetary Union on High-Technology Exports

2021

AbstractOur study estimates the effects of the European Monetary Union (EMU) on high-technology (HT) export and assesses the potential knowledge spillovers of such trade. Irrespective of the importance of the HT trade channel, none of the previous studies in the literature focus on the effects of a common currency on HT trade. Increasing trade in the HT sector may lead to more efficient use of resources and help countries to move towards a knowledge-based economy. Moreover, it may lead to higher overall growth. After considering multilateral resistances, pair fixed effects and bias correction in the preferred (three-way bias-corrected) model, EMU membership becomes negative and statisticall…

Educación para la paz y la ciudadanía desde la música como lenguaje universal de las emociones

2016

La música tiene la gran capacidad de transferir sentimientos para cambiar /transformar la sociedad. Por tanto, la música puede resultar una terapia para trabajar tanto con niños como con adultos, en la escuela o fuera de ella. La música es un eje para el desarrollo integral de nuestra realidad. Da luz a nuestra oscuridad y puede, si nos lo proponemos, convertirse en un pertinente recurso terapéutico para la humanidad, generando bases sólidas de comportamiento, que nos guiaran por un verdadero camino ético hacia la generosidad. Asumimos que la música como código de circulación ética, es una fuente de alimento para el espíritu, ayuda al hombre a través de su semántica a ser mejor persona, a l…

Prevención VIH/SIDA en la adolescencia y juventud en el marco integral de la educación para la salud

2002

La Pandemia del Sida, ha hecho que du¬rante los últimos 20 años se haya introduci¬do la educación sexual, no por considerarla una materia básica en la información y for¬mación de nuestros adolescentes y jóvenes, sino que con demasiada frecuencia, y desde estos últimos 7 años, limitándose únicamen¬te a los aspectos perniciosos de las prácticas sexuales: enfermedades de transmisión sexual, embarazos no deseados, sexo seguro, hepatitis B y VIH/SIDA., etc. .Vistos los resultados, la evolución de la incidencia yprevalencia en jóvenes y adolescentes, desde hace años, en nuestro país, fallan sin duda, las estrategias, el abordaje, los mensajes y las campañas. Todo esto nos tendría que hacer reflex…

GeoMaTech: Integrating Technology and New Pedagogical Approaches Into Primary and Secondary School Teaching to Enhance Mathematics Education in Hunga…

2015

During the past decades, technology has been becoming an integral part of everyday life and slowly shaping mathematics and science teaching and learning (e.g. Heid & Blume, 2008). Although there have been enormous investments on educational technologies in many countries technology has yet to make a sizable impact on education (e.g. Drijvers et al., 2010). On the one hand students are becoming increasingly proficient users of technology while on the other hand opportunities offered by technologies have still little been utilized. Nevertheless, as technologies are becoming more integrated into education, they are providing new opportunities for pedagogical approaches and classroom organizati…

Beta Rebound as an Index of Temporal Integration of Somatosensory and Motor Signals

2020

Modulation of cortical beta rhythm (15-30 Hz) is present during preparation for and execution of voluntary movements as well as during somatosensory stimulation. A rebound in beta synchronization is observed after the end of voluntary movements as well as after somatosensory stimulation and is believed to describe the return to baseline of sensorimotor networks. However, the contribution of efferent and afferent signals to the beta rebound remains poorly understood. Here, we applied electrical median nerve stimulation (MNS) to the right side followed by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on the left primary motor cortex after either 15 or 25 ms. Because the afferent volley reaches the …

The effects of the economic crisis on the school to work transitions of youths in France

2013

Using longitudinal data from the 'Generation' surveys carried out by Céreq that provides information on the first seven years on the labour market, this paper focuses on the consequences of the 2008 crisis on employment and job quality for the youth. Firstly, using the Generation 2004 survey, the situations are studied in terms of employability and vulnerability for two sub-periods (2004-2008 and 2009-2011). Secondly, youth transition is analyzed in terms of labour market segmentation or access to the primary segment or to the 'good jobs'. By doing so, it is possible to observe the effects of the crisis in terms of access to 'good jobs' using a model regression and another youth cohort (Gen…

L'intégration sociale étudiante : relations et effets au sein des parcours de réussite en Licence

2017

Since 1970’s and 1980’s, educational research reveals the importance of interactional process in the explanation of student careers, especially with Tinto’s work (1975), by demonstrating the significant influence of social integration on student persistence in university. However, the effects on students’ academic success are rarely explored. Moreover, there is no consensus on the conceptualization of this explanatory factor since it shows different dimensions of social integration. From data collected from 1365 students enrolled in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade of common “Licence”, this research proposes firstly to improve measurement of student social integration as a multidimensional concept. T…

An Advanced Numerical Model in Solving Thin-Wire Integral Equations by Using Semi-Orthogonal Compactly Supported Spline Wavelets

2003

Abstract—In this paper, the semi-orthogonal compactly sup- ported spline wavelets are used as basis functions for the efficient solution of the thin-wire electric field integral equation (EFIE) in frequency domain. The method of moments (MoM) is used via the Galerkin procedure. Conventional MoM directly applied to the EFIE, leads to dense matrix which often becomes computation- ally intractable when large-scale problems are approached. To overcome these difficulties, wavelets can be used as a basis set so obtaining the generation of a sparse matrix; this is due to the local supports and the vanishing moments properties of the wavelets. In the paper, this technique is applied to analyze elec…
