Möglichkeiten der 16-Schicht-CT bei der linksventrikulären Funktionsbestimmung: Beurteilung zweier unterschiedlicher Software-Tools zur quantitativen…
2004
PURPOSE To determine global and regional left ventricular (LV) function from retrospectively gated multidetector row computed tomography (CT) by using two different semiautomated analysis tools and to correlate the results with those of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen patients (5 females, 14 males, mean age 69 years) underwent 16-slice spiral-CT (MS-CT) with standard technique without administration of beta-blockers for a decrease in the cardiac rate. Ten series of images were reconstructed at every 10 % of the RR-interval. With commercially available software capable of semiautomated contour detection, end-diastolic and end-systolic LV volumes (EDV and ESV)…
IL CONTRATTO AZIENDALE IN TEMPI DI CRISI. Esperienze euro-mediterranee a confronto
2017
Nell’ultimo decennio il decentramento contrattuale ha conosciuto una forte accelerazione soprattutto negli Stati convenzionalmente racchiusi nel modello “euro-mediterraneo” (Italia, Francia, Grecia, Portogallo e Spagna) parallelamente all’acuirsi della crisi economico-finanziaria: il contratto aziendale può infatti derogare sempre più alle disposizioni di legge e alle clausole del contratto nazionale, venendo a incrinare il paradigma novecentesco dell’inderogabilità. In tale processo di riscrittura della contrattazione un ruolo chiave è stato giocato dalle istituzioni europee ed internazionali attraverso strumenti di harde soft law (New European Economic Governance), sulla base dell’assunto…
Le due crisi: crisi del capitalismo e crisi ambientale. Una soluzione sostenibile?
2015
Le due crisi in titolo sono due facce di una stessa medaglia; e il tema verrà trattato su questa rivista in due parti divise solo al fine di agevolare la lettura. Nella Parte I si evidenzia come la crisi ambientale derivi dal generale rapporto di predazione e spoliazione delle risorse naturali, caratteristico del modo capitalistico di produzione e consumo; ancor più devastante nella sua attuale fase “iperliberista”. I danni sociali della crisi economica sono drammaticamente evidenti alla maggior parte dell’opinione pubblica – la critica alle attuali teorie e modelli economici sarà oggetto della Parte II – mentre le altrettanto drammatiche conseguenze della crisi ambientale faticano a diveni…
Determinantes industriais da solidariedade transnacional: política intersindical global em três setores
2014
Introdução: Oaumento da concorrência global prejudica o poder dos sindicatos pois enfraquece seu controle sobre a competição no mercado de trabalho. Os sindicatos, por vezes, combatem essa ameaça mediante cooperação além das fronteiras nacionais. Apesar do interesse crescente por atividades sindi - cais transnacionais, existem poucas comparações sistemáticas entre setores. Este artigo compara exemplos de cooperação transnacional de sindicatos na indústria automotiva, no transporte marítimo e na indústria têxtil e de vestuário. Argu - mentamos em seguida que os sindicatos adotam diferentes tipos de estratégias internacionais por causa de: (1) diferentes manifestações da competição entre trab…
The Strategy and the Reasons of the Republic of Moldova's Association with European Union
2014
Abstract The European Union and the Republic of Moldova negotiated an Association Agreement (AA) in 2010, and a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) in 2012. After completion of negotiations and initialling of AA, before the full Agreement can enter into force, action is needed to ensure that the Parties are able to enjoy the full benefits of the Agreement. SMEs play a focal role in the implementation of the future DCFTA. The article describes the economic and political basis for association/integration, outlining the importance of SMEs. This article is reasoning for future PhD research in this area.
La corresponsabilità educativa scuola-famiglia-società e la prospettiva montessoriana: per un ritorno all’autenticità del fatto educativo
2020
The paper focuses on the connection between the Montessori principles related to child edu-cation and the school-family educational co-responsibility for the common construction of meaning.This combination can represent a keystone of school architecture for the authenticity of the educational fact. A practical-operational tool is the school-family educational pact. A survey has shown the correlation and the practical implications of the twoaspects according to teachers and parents.
Strategic Accounting Choice Around Firm-Level Labor Negotiations
2014
Prior literature argues that managers make opportunistic income-decreasing accounting choices to limit the concessions made to trade unions. However, empirical research to date presents mixed evidence, potentially due to a common theoretical approach that views labor bargaining as a one-shot game in nature. Using a sample of U.S. firms that engage in firm-level labor collective agreement negotiations, we study whether managers act strategically to reduce the transfer of wealth to employees, and its consequences over investment efficiency. We expect that the repeated nature of this negotiation leads to cooperation among the parties and limits the incentives for earnings manipulation, partic…
Despidos laborales. Fracturas sociales e identitarias
2008
The thousands of collective dismissals which have opened the beginning of the century in Spain do not just mean nearly two hundred thousand jobs (lots of them with a very long validity) and the same amount of broken life projects, but also ways of social reproduction, broken identities, institutions and social guarantees that crumble. Amazingly, these social upheavals often become eclipsed by discourses that appeal to economic considerations, the requirements of modernization or the requests of the logic of globalization. At this article, the consequences of the break of the social link intertwined along the second half of the twentieth century are investigated. For that, we have been rebui…
The EU-Africa Trade Agreements
2021
This chapter scrutinizes the successive rounds of EU-Africa agreements and the four-tier preference system of the European Union for developing countries, with special attention to the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPA). Full EPAs and interim EPAs are reviewed in terms of the resulting country configurations in Africa and their impact on the officially intended consolidation of African regional communities. The analysis concludes that the artificial EPA configurations do not correspond to any existing REC in Africa. If they last, they will have a very critical effect on Africa’s regional economic integration, all the more as they start to be emulated in other trade agreements between Afr…
Trade balances and exchange rates in the long run for European Union countries
2000
This paper has found evidence that real effective exchange rates have a positive impact on the trade balance in the long run for major European Union countries. This result sheds more light on the long-run statistical relationship between those two variables, at least in the context of the Community. The existence of that link is sustained by the effects that income variables have on the trade balance. The outcomes of this analysis in support of a long-run equilibrium relationship are consistent with the imperfect substitutes model, confirming the validity of this model for economic policy implementation purposes. Low, long-run elasticities of the trade balance with respect to the real effe…
