Desigualtats territorials en l'ensenyament a la ciutat de València
2011
Aquesta tesi pretén identificar els factors que incideixen en la persistència de les desigualtats en el sistema educatiu en un context urbà com la ciutat de València. Per donar resposta ens hem plantejat de quina manera la persistència de les desigualtats està relacionada amb la desigual distribució territorial del context socioeconòmic, dels recursos, de l’escolarització o dels resultats educatius. A continuació hem aplicat una metodologia que permet comprovar les hipòtesis plantejades a partir de l’anàlisi causal d’uns índexs agregats basats en una selecció d’indicadors dels factors que afecten a la persistència d’aquestes desigualtats. En la part central del nostre treball presentem, des…
L'anticatalanisme al País Valencià: Identitat i reproducció social del discurs del "Blaverisme"
2009
Aquesta tesi doctoral estudia des de la sociologia el blaverisme. Aquest moviment sociopolític del País Valencià nascut a la dècada del setanta del segle XX farà de l'anticatalanisme la raó principal de ser però es revestirà d'autoctonisme, és dir, es fa passar com "valencianista" i, en aquest sentit, esdevindrà un anticatalanisme valencià específic. El blaverisme no sols té com a objectiu l'oposició al catalanisme i/o als catalans sinó fonamentalment desplaçar els "catalanistes" del País Valencià de les posicions hegemòniques que haurien ocupat realment o imaginativa i, sobretot, d'ocupar el poder a partir d'un discurs que reinventa la tradició i la identitat regional valenciana. Per acons…
Absències en els estudis universitaris. Ubicacions i itineraris heterogenis
2010
La tesi doctoral s’emmarca en l’estudi del sistema universitari i, més en concret, en les maneres que tenen els estudiants de vincular-se a la universitat i als estudis, en un moment de transformacions i amb un estudiantat cada vegada més heterogeni. En aquest sentit, s’estan produint canvis tecnològics substancials que possibiliten nous escenaris en relació amb l’aprenentatge i l’ensenyament i, també, perquè el sistema universitari es troba immers en una reforma important d’abast europeu. Aquest panorama en transformació produeix desajustos en la informació i el coneixement actualitzat que es té sobre l’estudiantat universitari i planteja noves qüestions i respostes a la institució univers…
Does the platform matter? Social media and COVID-19 conspiracy theory beliefs in 17 countries
2021
While the role of social media in the spread of conspiracy theories has received much attention, a key deficit in previous research is the lack of distinction between different types of platforms. This study places the role of social media affordances in facilitating the spread of conspiracy beliefs at the center of its enquiry. We examine the relationship between platform use and conspiracy theory beliefs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Relying on the concept of technological affordances, we theorize that variation across key features make some platforms more fertile places for conspiracy beliefs than others. Using data from a crossnational dataset based on a two-wave online survey cond…
Where Did the Money Go? Endogenous Money Creation for International Fraudulent Purposes - The Case of the 2015 Moldovan Banking Scandal
2015
On Monday 4 May 2015, the speaker of Parliament of the Republic of Moldova published the Kroll report on his Internet blog after thousands of people rallied on Sunday 3 May in the capital, Chisinau, to protest against endemic corruption in the country, and demand recovery of the missing billions in the Ilan Shor group scandal. The Kroll report aims at investigating the apparent theft of nearly one-fifth of the country's annual GDP. In a spectacular lender-of-last resort move, the Moldovan central bank was forced to issue some 16 billion lei ($870 million) in emergency loans to keep the economy afloat. The Kroll report focuses on three commercial banks that account for a third of the country…
Measuring Populist Attitudes on Three Dimensions
2018
Theoretically, populism has been conceptualized as a political ideology with three sub-dimensions: anti-elitism attitudes, a preference for popular sovereignty, and a belief in the homogeneity and virtuousness of the people. However, empirical research to date has treated populist attitudes as a unidimensional construct. To address this issue, we propose to conceptualize populist attitudes as a latent higher-order construct with three distinct first-order dimensions. A 12-item inventory was developed using two survey studies conducted in Switzerland in 2014 and 2015. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to test the construct validity of this measure of populist attitudes. …
Longitudinal Leisure Activity Profiles and Their Associations with Recovery Experiences and Job Performance
2017
We aimed to identify longitudinal leisure activity profiles among working adults and their links to recovery experiences and job performance. Leisure activities, recovery experiences, and job performance were investigated among 831 employees using survey data collected in spring 2013 (T1) and 2014 (T2). Through latent profile analysis (LPA), four stable longitudinal leisure activity profiles were identified. “Social Sports(wo)men” (46%) engaged in physical and social activities but rarely in creative or cultural activities. “Active Artists” (23%) pursued all leisure activities, particularly creative activities. “Socially & Culturally Inactives” (17%) exercised frequently but seldom engaged …
The role played by doctors, the Government and the who in the implementation of poliomyelitis, measles and rubella serological surveys in Spain (1958…
2020
Serological surveys, which acquired considerable importance in the mid twentieth century, are still a key tool to address infectious diseases. This article, using archival and printed sources from the WHO and the medical and general press, analyses the role of doctors and scientists, government, and the WHO in the implementation of serological surveys to evaluate the situation of poliomyelitis, measles and rubella in Spain and to set up a plan of action against them. The paper shows the role of Florencio Pérez Gallardo and his group at the National School of Health, favoured by the Franco regime to receive the support of WHO collaborative programmes after Spain joined in 1951, and the impac…
Estrategia medioambiental de la empresa y rendimiento. El rol intermedio del aprendizaje organizativo: Un aplicación a las industrias minerales.
2004
Uno de los temas más polémicos relacionados con la incorporación a la gestión empresarial del condicionante medioambiental es su impacto en el rendimiento. Mientras unos defienden la existencia de estrategias win-win gana la empresa, gana el medio ambiente , otros anuncian que no es fácil ser verdes. Para buscar una explicación a este pensamiento dispar, consideramos la posible existencia de una o más variables intermedias que pudieran moderar incluso modificar esta relación.Los trabajos relacionados con el aprendizaje organizativo hacen atribuciones casi milagrosas a las learning oganizations. Estas organizaciones son poseedoras de una ventaja competitiva sostenible en el tiempo: la capaci…
OSSOS. IX. Two objects in Neptune's 9:1 resonance: implications for resonance sticking in the scattering population
2018
We discuss the detection in the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS) of two objects in Neptune's distant 9:1 mean motion resonance at semimajor axis $a\approx~130$~au. Both objects are securely resonant on 10~Myr timescales, with one securely in the 9:1 resonance's leading asymmetric libration island and the other in either the symmetric or trailing asymmetric island. These objects are the largest semimajor axis objects with secure resonant classifications, and their detection in a carefully characterized survey allows for the first robust resonance population estimate beyond 100~au. The detection of these objects implies a 9:1 resonance population of $1.1\times10^4$ objects with $H_r&…
