La pintura de bodegones de Tomás Yepes (ca. 1600-1674)
2012
El objetivo del presente artículo es contribuir al conocimiento de la producción de Tomás Yepes (ca. 1600-1674) como bodegonista, destacando el papel decisivo que desempeñó en la configuración de este género en Valencia. Para ello se sitúa, en primer lugar, la figura de este pintor en la Valencia del siglo XVII, ofreciendo a continuación un análisis de los rasgos característicos de su producción en relación con la pintura de su época. This article furthers our understanding of the work by Tomás Yepes (ca. 1600-1674) as a still-life painter, emphasizing the decisive role he played in the development of this genre in Valencia. The article begins with an overview of the significance of Yepes i…
Can Differences in Characteristics Explain Ethnic Wage Gap in Latvia?
2017
Abstract We used anonymized micro data from Labour Force Survey to estimate the ethnic wage gap in Latvia and find the factors that explain it. We found that a notable ethnic wage gap still exists in Latvia with non-Latvians earning 10 % less than Latvians in 2015. The results of Oaxaca-Ransom decomposition show that approximately two thirds of the ethnic wage gap are explained by differences in characteristics with the most important effects in favour of Latvians caused by segregation in better paying occupational groups, having Latvian citizenship and better education (higher education levels and more favourable segregation by education fields). This was partly offset by favourable segreg…
When is there more employment, with individual or collective wage bargaining?
2019
Abstract In a standard Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides labour market with frictions, the authors seek to determine when there is more employment with individual wage bargaining than with collective wage bargaining, using a wage equation generated by the standard total surplus sharing rule. Using a Cobb-Douglas production function, they find that if the bargaining power of the individual is high compared to the bargaining power of the union, there is more unemployment with individual wage setting and vice versa. When the individual worker and the union have the same bargaining power, if the cost of opening a vacancy is sufficiently high, there is more unemployment with individual wage setting. …
Designing biochar properties through the blending of biomass feedstock with metals: Impact on oxyanions adsorption behavior
2018
Metal-blending of biomass prior to pyrolysis is investigated in this work as a tool to modify biochar physico-chemical properties and its behavior as adsorbent. Six different compounds were used for metal-blending: AlCl3, Cu(OH)2, FeSO4, KCl, MgCl2 and Mg(OH)2. Pyrolysis experiments were performed at 400 and 700 °C and the characterization of biochar properties included: elemental composition, thermal stability, surface area and pore size distribution, Zeta potential, redox potential, chemical structure (with nuclear magnetic resonance) and adsorption behavior of arsenate, phosphate and nitrate. Metalblending strongly affected biochars' surface charge and redox potential. Moreover, it incre…
Landscapes of loss and destruction: : Sámi elders’ childhood memories of the second world war
2019
The so-called Lapland War between Finland and Germany at the end of the Second World War led to a mass-scale destruction of Lapland. Both local Finnish residents and the indigenous Sámi groups lost their homes, and their livelihoods suffered in many ways. The narratives of these deeply traumatic experiences have long been neglected and suppressed in Finland and have been studied only recently by academics and acknowledged in public. In this text, we analyze the interviews with four elders of one Sámi village, Vuotso. We explore their memories, from a child’s perspective, scrutinizing the narration as a multilayered affective process that involves sensual and embodied dimensions of memory. ©…
Comportamiento del consumidor en la co-creación de valor y su relación con la satisfacción en el entorno universitario: una aplicación a la Universid…
2016
Aportes académicos señalan que el consumidor es el actor más importante en la co-creación de valor, pero pocos estudios se han centrado en descubrir y comprobar la influencia de los compor- tamientos del consumidor que co-crea valor en su satisfacción. En consecuencia, en este artículo se contrasta esta relación en el contexto universitario, para lo cual se plantea un modelo relacional con las variables: comportamiento del consumidor en la co-creación de valor y satisfacción. Dicho modelo se aplicó a una muestra representativa de estudiantes de una universidad colombiana. Los resultados evidencian algunas relaciones positivas. La contribución teórica del estudio radica en que esta es la pri…

Valts Ernstreits) and Latvian-Estonian dictionary (manager of the project Arvi Tavast) have been published at the same time and with the same design. Each of the dictionaries consists from more than forty thousand headwords, however they are not of the same size, Estonian-Latvian dictionary has significantly more pages. The reason is the Estonian-Latvian…
Phase I study of OM-174, a lipid A analogue, with assessment of immunological response, in patients with refractory solid tumors.
2013
International audience; BACKGROUND: Lipids A, the lipophilic partial structure of lipopolysaccharides, induce regression of several tumor types in animal models. Rather than exerting direct cytotoxic effect, these compounds trigger the immune system which in turn stimulates secretion of cytokines, and activates the inducible nitric oxide synthase, as well as immune cell infiltration of tumors. OM-174 is an analogue of lipid A with dual action on toll-like receptors 2 and 4. In an experimental model of peritoneal carcinomatosis induced in BDIX rats by intraperitoneal injection of syngeneic PROb colon cancer cells, it induced a complete regression of tumors. The present phase I trial was cond…
