Ensuring the Consistency of Biosimilars
2017
Background: Biological products are subject to constant reappraisal by regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical companies once they have entered the market, since every improvement in their manufacturing process has the potential to alter the basic properties of these molecules. Methods: Narrative review focusing on scientific literature as well as legal documents from regulatory agencies. Results: Evaluating the impact of each manufacturing change of these drugs requires rigorous analyses in proportion to the anticipated risk of inducing more or less molecular micro-heterogenicity. There are currently more than 30 biosimilars of TNF-alpha blockers at different stages of testing, each with a …
Innovations sociales et création de valeur partagée au sein des entreprises
2017
This work focuses on social innovations that are likely to create shared value, that is, to seek commercial success that has the potential to generate benefits for the society. This shared value deals with the wellbeing of low-income consumers and poor people. These innovations are also a lever to reduce the pressures that can be exerted by stakeholders in the social-political sphere (regulatory authorities and soft power), if the company does not reduce the negative externalities produced by its activities.

Methods We performed a systematic qualitative review of disaster research ethics guidelines to collect and compare existing regulations. Guidelines were identified by a three-tie…
The sleep of (scientific) reason produces (literary) monsters. : or, how science and literature shake hands
2016
La rao il·lustrada i la imaginacio romantica van ser vistes com dues maneres oposades de concebre l’art i la vida. Ara be, amb la perspectiva que ens atorga la historia, sembla dificil entendre l’una sense l’altra. Com si els malsons de la ciencia no fossin en el fons altra cosa que l’aliment dels monstres romantics. Aquest article analitza l’evolucio de la narrativa fantastica i el naixement de la narrativa cientifica en el segle xix, i l’enfrontament entre allo racional i allo sobrenatural.
Absorptive capacity and its impact on innovation and performance: findings from SEM and fsQCA
2018
Innovation can provide sustainable competitive advantages to service companies that consider the absorption of external knowledge a key strategic issue. Using the four dimensions of absorptive capacity, this study examined the impact of absorptive capacity on innovation in service delivery processes and explored how this innovation influences business performance. Structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) were applied to a sample of 134 companies drawn from the Colombian tourism sector. The results of the SEM indicate that innovation in service delivery processes is positively influenced by two of the four dimensions of absorptive capacity…
Cultural and psychological variables predicting academic dishonesty: a cross-sectional study in nine countries
2021
Academic dishonesty has serious consequences for human lives, social values, and economy. The main aim of the study was to explore a model of relations between personal and cultural variables and academic dishonesty. The participants in the study were N = 2,586 individuals from nine countries (Pakistan, Israel, Italy, India, the USA, Peru, Romania, Ghana, and Poland). The authors administered the Academic Dishonesty Scale to measure academic dishonesty, the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale to measure distress, the Almost Perfect Scale – Revised to measure perfectionism, the Brief Self-Control Scale to measure self-control, and the Singelis Scale to measure independent self-construal. Th…
El dispositivo emprendedor : Interpelación ética y producción de nuevos sujetos del trabajo
2021
Asistimos actualmente a una multiplicación de prácticas de promoción del emprendimiento que, aunque desplegadas en diversos espacios y géneros, confluyen en la difusión de nuevos fundamentos de interpelación ética. El artículo propone el concepto foucaultiano de dispositivo como herramienta de acercamiento a estas prácticas. Tras describir el potencial heurístico de esta herramienta, se procede a aplicarla al estudio de la promoción de las éticas de la empleabilidad. Se destacan tres pilares que conforman dichos procesos de interpelación ética y que conforman un nuevo sujeto del trabajo: cultura de la evaluación y de la (auto)vigilancia; ethos de la responsabilidad y de la autonomía (repert…
Managers’ Moral Struggle : A Case Study on Ethical Dilemmas and Ethical Decision-making in the Context of Immigration
2019
This qualitative study explores the types of ethical dilemmas that Finnish managers working in reception centres for asylum seekers have encountered and whether the moral intensity of the ethical issues was observable in the ethical decision-making. It concludes that the majority of the managers interviewed encountered ethical dilemmas relating to the termination of reception services. The ethical dilemmas were stratified into seven groups: ambiguous or complete absence of relevant instructions, lack of support, conflicting values, withholding information, pressure, discretionary stress, and unjust decisions on asylum applications. In addition, various dimensions of moral intensity were obs…
Desarrollo de habilidades de modelación desde las ecuaciones más simples de la Hidrodinámica
2017
[EN] The development of modeling skills is a very important issue in Science teaching nowadays. The present workillustrates how, from the simplest equations of hydrodynamics, it is possible to contribute to this end. Bernoulliand continuity equations are included in Physics syllabi of secondary and university levels, and can be seen as alinking between general and professional education. By means of the proposed project, students are taken throughgeneral stages which are usually present in any engineering project or research work based on modeling and simu-lation. such as the formulation of the problem, the statement of the Physics model, a computational simulationand the comparison between…
