An economic perspective on crime, its costs, crime fighting and rehabilitation efforts
2010
This study will examine the economic issues surrounding crime and reintegration measures aimed at prisoners, particularly but not exclusively in Germany. To do so it will be necessary to give an overview about the crime and crime-fighting situation in Germany. The focus is on violent and street crime. White collar crime will be mentioned only briefly. The starting point will be to examine the cost of crime and the problems concerning its measurement. These include for example the economic costs of murder or the largely ignored cost of rehabilitating the victims of crimes such as rape. They often suffer from severe trauma. Further it will prove necessary to add the indirect, immaterial costs…
Ethnographic context and spatial coherence of climate indicators for farming communities : a multi-regional comparative assessment
2015
Accurate seasonal predictions of rainfall may reduce climatic risks that farmers are usually faced with across the tropical and subtropical zones. However, although regional-scale seasonal amounts have regularly been forecasted since 1997/98, the practical use of these seasonal predictions is still limited by myriad factors. This paper synthesizes the main resultsof a multi-disciplinary ethnographic and climatic project (PICREVAT). Its main objective was to seek the climatic information ? beyond the seasonal amounts ? critical for crops, both as an actual constraint to crop yields and as identified by the current and past practices and perceptions of farmers. A second goal was to confront t…
L’accertamento del trasferimento d’azienda in caso di cambio di appalto nel rito “Fornero”
2021
Con la sentenza n. 2315/2020 la Suprema Corte ha affermato il principio che l’accertamento dell’anzianità di servizio conseguente ad un trasferimento d’azienda può essere affrontato nell’ambito del rito speciale di impugnazione del licenziamento introdotto dalla L. n. 92/2012. Nella decisione in commento la Corte ha altresì modo di dare continuità all’orientamento per cui la fattispecie traslativa si perfeziona anche in presenza di un mero passaggio di personale in forza di obbligo contrattuale o di legge. Infatti se in un determinato appalto di servizi un imprenditore subentra ad un altro e ne acquisisce il personale e i beni strumentali organizzati (cioè l’azienda), la fattispecie no…
Work engagement y su relación con la performance y la satisfacción laboral
2018
El presente trabajo, basado en los aportes de la Psicología Organizacional Positiva (POP),consistió en un análisis del concepto de Work Engagement. Por un lado, se buscó explorar las concepciones que tienen personas con personal a cargo sobre el work engagement mediante entrevistas realizadas a 38 voluntarios de la población general de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y el conurbano bonaerense (18 hombres, 47.37%; 20 mujeres, 52.63%). La edad promedio fue de 49.87 años (DE = 9.48). Del análisis de contenido realizado se obtuvieron una serie de categorías que reflejan concepciones acerca del engagement. Por ejemplo, los participantes consideraron que las personas con engagement son aquellasque mues…
Palaeontological Virtual Congress: A new way to make science
2019
On the first month of 2018, one of the authors (VDC) of this preface had an interesting idea: to hold a virtual congress. At first, he did not know of the existence of this kind of congress, but a quick internet search showed him that there were some examples in the fields of medicine and veterinary medicine; however, it had never been done in palaeontology. For that reason, with the help of other co-workers from the Universitat de València, Museo Paleontológico de Alpuente and Museu Valencià d’Historia Natural, we decided to undertake this adventure.

Penser la peine à l'âge des Lumières
2012
L'image du mouvement intellectuel des Lumières qui remettrait en cause le droit de punir des siècles précédents, doit être nuancée. Philosophie et histoire sont convoquées pour savoir comment on pense la peine au XVIIIe siècle. L'histoire de la justice permet de se pencher sur la diversité des systèmes judiciaires européens et d'observer l'évolution de leur "rigueur" dans les discours normatifs et les pratiques pénales. Quant à l'histoire de la philosophie, revenant notamment sur Foucault, elle renoncera à présenter la pensée pénale des Lumières comme indistinctement humaniste, et ses adversaires comme unanimement hostiles à des vues utilitaristes. Les questions qui persistent dans la réfle…
PARAMETER ESTIMATION FOR FRACTIONAL ORNSTEIN-UHLENBECK PROCESSES: NON-ERGODIC CASE
2011
We consider the parameter estimation problem for the non-ergodic fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process defined as $dX_t=\theta X_tdt+dB_t,\ t\geq0$, with a parameter $\theta>0$, where $B$ is a fractional Brownian motion of Hurst index $H\in(1/2,1)$. We study the consistency and the asymptotic distributions of the least squares estimator $\hat{\theta}_t$ of $\theta$ based on the observation $\{X_s,\ s\in[0,t]\}$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$.
Interpretation of the depths of maximum of extensive air showers measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory
2013
To interpret the mean depth of cosmic ray air shower maximum and its dispersion, we parametrize those two observables as functions of the first two moments of the ln A distribution. We examine the goodness of this simple method through simulations of test mass distributions. The application of the parameterization to Pierre Auger Observatory data allows one to study the energy dependence of the mean ln A and of its variance under the assumption of selected hadronic interaction models. We discuss possible implications of these dependences in term of interaction models and astrophysical cosmic ray sources.
