Practices in research, surveillance and control of neglected tropical diseases by One Health approaches: A survey targeting scientists from French-sp…
2021
One health (OH) approaches have increasingly been used in the last decade in the fight against zoonotic neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). However, descriptions of such collaborations between the human, animal and environmental health sectors are still limited for French-speaking tropical countries. The objective of the current survey was to explore the diversity of OH experiences applied to research, surveillance and control of NTDs by scientists from French-speaking countries, and discuss their constraints and benefits. Six zoonotic NTDs were targeted: echinococcoses, trypanosomiases, leishmaniases, rabies, Taenia solium cysticercosis and leptospiroses. Invitations to fill in an online q…
Del sacrilegio al desagravio. Culto y ritual de la imagen sagrada en la Valencia del primer franquismo
2021
El presente trabajo aborda, en primer lugar, la mirada sobre los ataques iconoclastas desde la perspectiva del primer franquismo y la construcción del discurso de regeneración nacional por medio de la idea del advenimiento de un nuevo tiempo cristiano. A continuación, se estudia la restitución al culto de las imágenes sagradas, seguido de un estudio del caso valenciano centrado principalmente en los ejemplos de la Virgen de los Desamparados y el Cristo del Grao como representantes de la activación de geografías devocionales. Las dos tesis principales del artículo son que los actos de desagravio se organizaron con la intención de construir un relato oficial de los actos iconoclastas y que fu…
L’immunità parlamentare nel contesto europeo (CGUE, Grande Sezione, sentenza 6 settembre 2011, C-163/10, Patriciello)
2012
Le immunità parlamentari rappresentano uno dei temi caldi del panorama giuridico contemporaneo, rispetto al quale si confonde il confine tra politica e diritto. Le guarentigie riconosciute ai membri delle Camere, nate in un’epoca in cui il potere Legislativo doveva essere protetto da interferenze altrui, hanno vissuto un periodo di abusi e vengono oggi continuamente messe in discussione. Le ripercussioni di questo vissuto sono profondamente sentite anche in ambito europeo, dove si susseguono interventi giurisprudenziali in materia. Con la sentenza che di seguito verrà esaminata, la Corte di Giustizia dell’Unione ha aggiunto un nuovo tassello al mosaico del sistema delle immunità degli europ…

Efectos de las consultas boca a boca en redes sociales en la compra de cosméticos en Ecuador.
2022
Las redes sociales han reestructurado el paradigma de la comunicación en el marketing. Investigaciones recientes demuestran que la conducta de consultar reseñas está adquiriendo un rol fundamental en la decisión de compra de los consumidores. En este contexto, el presente estudio desarrolló un marco de investigación para determinar la cadena de relación entre influencia social, credibilidad percibida del boca a boca, adopción del boca a boca e intención de compra aplicada a la industria cosmética del Ecuador. A través de una muestra de 406 consumidores y la aplicación del método de análisis de ecuaciones estructurales, los resultados evidencian el vínculo existente entre las variables plant…
Failure of the normalization of the RAS method : absorption and fabrication effects are still incorrect
2000
The r and s vectors of the RAS method of updating matrices are presented often as corresponding to an absorption effect and a fabrication effect. Here, it is proved that these vectors are not identified, so their interpretation in terms of fabrication and absorption effect is incorrect and even if a normalization was proposed to remove underidentification, this normalization fails and poses many difficulties..

Exclusive measurement of quasi-free η-photoproduction from deuterium
2003
Quasi-free photoproduction of eta-mesons from the deuteron has been measured at the tagged photon facility of the Mainz microtron MAMI with the photon spectrometer TAPS for incident photon energies from the production threshold at 630 MeV up to 820 MeV. In a fully exclusive measurement eta-mesons and recoil nucleons were detected in coincidence. At incident photon energies above the production threshold on the free nucleon, where final state interaction effects are negligible, an almost constant ratio of sigma(n)/sigma(p)=0.66+/-0.10 was found. At lower incident photon energies the ratio rises due to re-scattering effects. The average ratio agrees with the value extracted from a comparison …
APPLYING PERT AND CRITICAL PATH METHOD IN HUMAN RESOURCE TRAINING
2011
The subject of the article is referring to the modelling and simulating of the formation of human resources by applying the PERT/CPM (Program Evaluation and Review Technique/Critical Path Method) and the taking into consideration of some risks associated to this activity. The aim of the article is to offer practical support to the management of organizations in order to make a formation program of human resources, which implies activities of precedence and interrelated, critical paths, the distribution of time resources and necessary costs for the fulfilment of the organizational objectives.
The impact of classes of innovators on Technology, Financial Fragility and Economic Growth
2011
In this paper, we study innovation processes and technological change in an agent-based model. By including a behavioral switching among heterogeneous innovative firms, which can endogenously change among three different classes (single innovators, collaborative innovators and imitators) on the base of their R&D expenditures, the model is able to replicate, via simulations, well known industrial dynamic and growth type stylized facts. Moreover, we focus the analysis on the impact of these three innovation categories on micro, meso and macro aggregates. We find that collaborative companies are those having the highest positive impact on the economic system. The model is then used to study th…
