For this, we are taking, as an example, the royal town of Alcoy in the <i>Cortes</i> of 1443. We have based our study in the <i>Proceso de Cortes</i> and in municipal sources.<br><br>Mediante este trabajo, pretendemos analizar el peso que tenían en la hacienda de las villas reales los gastos derivados de su asistencia a Cortes.

Belief in God, Confidence in the Church and Secularization in Scandinavia
2021
We used the three latest rounds of the religion module of International Social Survey Programme to study secularization in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, focusing on belief in God. We restricted our sample to the affiliated with the majority Protestant churches and the unaffiliated and analyzed the trends toward disaffiliation and disbelief in God. Then, we studied the association between confidence in churches, religious/secular upbringing, and demographic controls with belief in God using multinomial logistic regression models. Our treatment of belief in God as a nominal variable allowed the inclusion of both the element of doubt and different images of God in the analyses. The trends towar…
Back to School : Labor-Market Returns to Higher Vocational Schooling
2019
This paper examines the labor-market returns to a new form of postsecondary vocational education: vocational master's degrees. We use individual fixed effects models on a matched sample of students and non-students from Finland to capture any time-invariant differences across individuals. We find that attendance in vocational master's programs leads to an earnings increase of more than seven percent five years after entry. The estimated effect remains positive even if selection on unobservables is twice as strong as selection on observables. Earnings gains are similar by gender and age, but they are marginally higher for those in the health sector than for those in the business or technolog…
Impact de la proximité identitaire « publics-musée d'art » sur la fréquentation des lieux culturels : le cas des musées d’art
2017
The value that individuals attach to a cultural object can be explained, among other things, by their identity project of belonging to a group. This thesis proposes new strategic orientations for museums that increase museum attendance, change the relationship of the art museum with the public and attract other individuals.This research allowed the conceptualization of the proximity of the "public-art museum" identity, the confirmation of its dimensions and antecedents, and finally the analysis of the relationship between the "public-art museum" identity proximity and the art museum attendance. Moreover, the development of a "public-art museum" identity proximity scale, offers to broaden th…
Proximité identitaire « publics musée d’art » et fréquentation du lieu culturel
2018
The value that individuals attach to a cultural object can be explained, among other things, by their individual identity project or belonging to a group. We will try to consider new strategic orientations for art museum professionals that can achieve several objectives regarding the museum visitors (or non-visitors): increase their attendance, change the relationship of the art museum with the public and attract other individuals.This work allows the conceptualization of the "public-art museum" identity proximity, the confirmation of its dimensions, and finally, the analysis of the relationship between the "public-art museum" identity proximity and the attendance the behaviour of the cultu…
Flipping burgers or flipping pages? Student employment and academic attainment in post-Soviet Latvia
2007
Latvian higher education has undergone a dramatic transition since 1991. This study employs a survey of nearly 1000 social science students studying in 13 different institutions in Latvia to consider the impact of the increase in the number of students who are working while studying. Evidence indicates employment has a strong and significant negative impact on school performance, and the negative impact increases as weekly hours worked increase. This manifests itself through reduced class attendance and reduced time spent in independent study. Finally, we find that the probability of student employment is most significantly affected by the availability of financial aid, gender, ethnicity, a…
Predictors of sports spectators' proclivity for riotous behaviour in Finland and Canada
1996
Male spectators (N = 178) attending hockey games in Finland and Canada provided ratings of the strength of their motives for attendance. Of six plausible reasons, liking to watch player fights was rated least important by the Finns whereas it was third in importance for Canadians. Subjects also provided information with regard to their age, fight history, the number of accompanying persons and completed a measure of sensation seeking. With the exception of the number of accompanying persons, all variables were related in both countries to subjects self-reported likelihood of escalating a crowd disturbance. The results were discussed in the context of previous findings from a series of field…
Blended learning in master studies in Mathematical Information Technology &#x2014; Impacts on attendance and learning outcomes
2011
Blended learning based on lecture videos and face-to-face teaching provides good opportunities for students for participation in education, regardless of time or place. This article examines the impacts of blended learning, as it has developed in connection with master studies in information technology, on participation in education and on learning outcomes. The solution is based on face-to-face teaching and the use of streaming lecture videos. According to the results, the use of lecture videos increases participation activeness, and the increase in participation has a positive impact on completion of courses. However, the use of lecture videos does not seem to have any clear-cut effect on…
Emotion Elicitation Oriented to the Development of a Human Emotion Management System for People with Intellectual Disabilities
2010
The integration of people with intellectual disabilities into working and social environments is one of the main issues in applying Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into Assistive Technology field. In order to solve this problem, the use of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) is a fact among the attendance community. Human Emotion Management System (HEMS) enhances the performance of ITSs. In this work a HEMS is included in a new ITS system (LAGUNTXO) which adds user affective information. People with intellectual disabilities and elderly need physical and intellectual support. This may be achieved by a HEMS which attempts to solve critical situations, like those presented in b…
Trajectories Based on Postcomprehensive and Higher Education: Their Correlates and Antecedents
2008
The aim of this study was to investigate different trajectories of education, based on annual attendance in postcomprehensive and higher education between ages 15 and 42, and their correlates and antecedents. A special focus was on education that occurred after spending several years in the labor market (i.e., off-time education). Analyses were based on the Finnish Jyvaskyla Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development in which the same participants have been followed from age 8 to 42. Four trajectories were obtained: no or early, off-time, on-time, and continuing education. Through adulthood, career stability, and occupational status were lower among off-time and no or early ed…
