Die Grenzen der Solidarität
2020
This paper uses the COVID-19 pandemic to reflect on the relationship between governance and solidarity It considers how a social model based on self-regulating individuals has been complemented by a new form of state dirigisme reliant on evocations of solidarity However, this configuration may be approaching the limits of its viability Given that governance relies on the robust internalization and execution of both care and control and on an ethos of renunciation, especially among the middle and upper classes, the paper proposes the need for analyses that better incorporate concepts of social inequality © Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG, Gottingen 2020
GEM
2014
The widespread use of digital sensor systems causes a tremendous demand for high-quality time series analysis tools. In this domain the majority of data mining algorithms relies on established distance measures like Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) or Euclidean distance (ED). However, the notion of similarity induced by ED and DTW may lead to unsatisfactory clusterings. In order to address this shortcoming we introduce the Gliding Elastic Match (GEM) algorithm. It determines an optimal local similarity measure of a query time series Q and a subject time series S. The measure is invariant under both local deformation on the measurement-axis and scaling in the time domain. GEM is compared to ED and…
The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and Financial Integration: a first assessment for selected countries
2009
In this paper, we try to provide a first assessment on the extent of financial integration and convergence between selected European and Southern Mediterranean countries involved in the Barcelona process. In particular, we implement a simple test of capital mobility based on the verification of the international real interest parity hypothesis between domestic rates against the real rate of Germany, used as the European reference country, and against the real rate of the US. We repeat the test before and after the introduction of the Euro, and then measure the speed of real interest rate convergence.
La comunicación: disciplina y campo de estudio. La experiencia latina
2011
La investigación en comunicación presenta una serie de particularidades que le otorgan un interés específico y una cierta capacidad de adaptación a la hora de analizar los fenómenos sociales. Se trata de una disciplina y un campo de estudio a la vez, lo que implica una necesaria transdisciplinariedad en el proceso de estudio de los paradigmas sociales y de formación de los profesionales de la comunicación. Esta adaptación de los estudios de comunicación supone una redefinición de las características propias de cada contexto, especialmente si se ha de llevar a cabo este estudio en América latina y en la Europa latina (Francia, Portugal, España e Italia). Su consideración como un espacio prop…
European consensus on grading bone marrow fibrosis and assessment of cellularity.
2005
Quantification of characteristic bone marrow biopsy features includes basic parameters such as cellularity and fiber content. These are important to assess the dynamics of disease processes with a significant impact on risk stratification, survival patterns and, especially, therapy-related changes. A panel of experienced European pathologists and a foreign expert evaluated, at a multi-headed microscope, a large number of representative slides of trephine biopsies from patients with myelofibrosis in an attempt to reach a consensus on how to grade cellularity and fibrosis. This included a critical evaluation of previously described scoring systems. During the microscopic analysis and subseque…
Le commerce équitable et la société civile internationale : une chance pour la mondialisation d'un droit de l'économie solidaire
2003
SUMMARY The international trade law passes through a crisis of legitimacy following the inequitable character of its rules and the irrelevance of its principles to the peculiarities of the North-South relations. Being the legal translation of the capitalist free market economic system, these rules are to protect the mercantile and free trade values. In order to overcome this crisis the movement of fair trade has emerged and has since its origin been supported by members of the international civil society. Fair trade means taking into account the standard of living and the conditions of employment of the marginalized producers in developing countries so as to improve them. This study is an a…
La transparencia en la Unión Europea
2012
Este estudio versa sobre la formación histórica y vigencia del marco jurídico europeo, en materia de transparencia. Se centra en el derecho de la Unión Europea, por constituir un referente básico de los Estados miembros, en cuanto a la influencia en los ordenamientos jurídicos internos de los mismos. El estudio comprende los Tratados y el derecho derivado, junto a otros actos relacionados con la materia que nos ocupa, durante el periodo de vigencia de cada Tratado, con referencias a la jurisprudencia comunitaria. Además, los estudios sobre la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea y los Códigos de Buena Conducta Administrativa, efectuados por separado, a efectos de mayor cl…
Crossing the dripline to11Nusing elastic resonance scattering
2000
The level structure of the unbound nucleus N-11 has been studied by C-10+p elastic resonance scattering in inverse geometry with the LISE3 spectrometer at GANIL, using a C-10 beam with an energy of 9.0 MeV/ nucleon. An additional measurement was done at the A1200 spectrometer at MSU. The excitation function above the C-10+p threshold has been determined up to 5 MeV. A potential-model analysis revealed three resonance states at energies 1.27(-0.05)(+0.18) MeV (Gamma = 1.44 +/- 0.2 MeV), 2.01(-0.05)(+0.15) MeV (Gamma = 0.84 +/- 0.2 MeV), and 3.75 +/- 0.05 MeV (Gamma = 0.60 +/- 0.05 MeV) with the spin-parity assignments I-pi=1/2+,1/2,-,5/2+, respectively. Hence, N-11 is shown to have a ground …
What determines a positive attitude towards natural food products? An expectancy theory approach.
2021
Natural food products are becoming increasingly popular worldwide due to their health and environmental benefits. However, these products' increasing anecdotal popularity has not translated into their widespread adoption; in fact, demand for natural food products remains confined to a relatively small segment of consumers. Despite this, little is known about the facilitators and inhibitors of favourable attitude of consumers towards these products. Recognising this gap, our study employed the theoretical lens of expectancy theory to investigate these factors. Through an extensive review of the pro-environmental consumption literature, we identified four facilitating and inhibiting factors: …
P2D: a self-supervised method for depth estimation from polarimetry
2021
Monocular depth estimation is a recurring subject in the field of computer vision. Its ability to describe scenes via a depth map while reducing the constraints related to the formulation of perspective geometry tends to favor its use. However, despite the constant improvement of algorithms, most methods exploit only colorimetric information. Consequently, robustness to events to which the modality is not sensitive to, like specularity or transparency, is neglected. In response to this phenomenon, we propose using polarimetry as an input for a self-supervised monodepth network. Therefore, we propose exploiting polarization cues to encourage accurate reconstruction of scenes. Furthermore, we…
