Los beneficios del mar: negocios e inversiones económicas de la oficialidad naval en el siglo XVIII

2019

Throughout the eighteenth century, the Spanish navy was extensively reformed and enhanced as a consequence of the new model of Monarchy that the Bourbons introduced. Among the measures adopted, it is remarkable the erection of the naval officers corps according to the needs and obligations that maritime war had in this century. This group becomes the paradigm of the new professionalization and new training approach, and its members had great relevance due to its great mobility around the empire and the power of the naval institution. This means that a part of the naval officers were placed in privileged positions and at the intersection of diverse political, social and economic networks. Th…

Wykorzystanie środków unijnych w obszarze edukacji w województwie opolskim w latach 2004 - 2015. Wybrane problemy

2017

Korzystanie przez Polskę ze środków unijnych bywa kontestowane. Wydaje się konieczna i rzetelna ocena w różnych obszarach naszego życia społecznego, zwłaszcza w edukacji, zakresu i sposobu ich wykorzystania. Środki unijne w dużym stopniu wsparły różne działania. Jednak od nas samych zależy na co je wykorzystamy i jak je spożytkujemy. Badania przeprowadzone na terenie województwa opolskiego i gmin z województw sąsiednich pozwalają na stwierdzenie, że środki te przyczyniły się do aktywizacji nauczycieli, dyrekcji szkół, gmin, placówek edukacyjnych w pozyskiwaniu środków na działania podnoszące poziom wiedzy i umiejętności uczniów. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że środki pozyskane za sprawą…

Considerations on the Advantages and Disadvantages of Romania's Accession to the European Union

2015

Abstract After nine years from Romania's accession to the European Union, the advantages are sustained with specific statistical markers, which could have been more positive if the effect of certain identified causes (reduced administrative ability, political instability, extended corruption, high tax evasion etc.) would have been diminished. Counterbalancing the benefits of the accession the opinion polls show the disadvantages. If a poll conducted four years prior to the accession showed that 66% of Romania's population considered that the accession to the European Union would produce positive effects, after six years from the accession things have reversed and 58% of Romanians considered…

Proanthocyanidins and Where to Find Them: A Meta-Analytic Approach to Investigate Their Chemistry, Biosynthesis, Distribution, and Effect on Human He…

2021

Proanthocyanidins (PACs) are a class of polyphenolic compounds that are attracting considerable interest in the nutraceutical field due to their potential health benefits. However, knowledge about the chemistry, biosynthesis, and distribution of PACs is limited. This review summarizes the main chemical characteristics and biosynthetic pathways and the main analytical methods aimed at their identification and quantification in raw plant matrices. Furthermore, meta-analytic approaches were used to identify the main plant sources in which PACs were contained and to investigate their potential effect on human health. In particular, a cluster analysis identified PACs in 35 different plant famili…

Changes in Family Income around the Time of Birth of Children in Germany between 1985 and 2004

2010

Während der Verlauf und die Ursachen des Geburtenverhaltens intensiv erforscht wurden, sind die finanziellen Folgen einer Geburt empirisch kaum beachtet worden. Daher werden hier kurzfristige Wohlstandsveränderungen von Familien (hinsichtlich verfügbarem Haushaltseinkommen und Äquivalenzeinkommen) rund um die Geburt eines Kindes in längsschnittlicher Perspektive analysiert und auf ihre Ursachen untersucht. Zu diesem Zweck wurden die Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (1984-2005) mittels Fixed-Effekt-Panelregressionsmodellen analysiert. Als Ergebnis kann festgehalten werden, dass die finanziellen Folgen einer Geburt in den letzten Jahren deutlich gewachsen sind und vor allem das erste Kind…

A cost efficiency analysis of flood proofing measures for hydraulic risk mitigation in an Urbanized riverine area

2020

Non-structural measures for flood risk mitigation are often more economically accessible, easier to implement, and are highly effective, especially in view of the pursuit of risk resilience objectives. Among the non-structural measures, more importance is increasingly being attributed to flood proofing interventions. There are two main types of flood proofing: dry proofing and wet proofing. An example of dry proofing is shielding, which involves the use of flood barriers that can be installed in the entrances of buildings or outside the buildings in order to avoid contact with the houses and deviate the water flow. Their use must be supported by a detailed hydraulic analysis to ensure the c…

New opportunities and perspectives of high pressure treatment to improve health and safety attributes of foods. A review

2015

Abstract High pressure (HP) treatment has emerged as a novel, additive-free food preservation technology. It has been scientifically and commercially proven that HP can produce microbially safe and stable products with improved quality characteristics such as enhanced flavor and color. Recent studies have focused on the effects of HP on health attributes and allergenic potential of foodstuff to develop the next generation of convenience foods. This review provides an overview on the current knowledge of HP treatment to improve the extraction and bioavailability of bioactive compounds, to reduce allergenicity, to retain essential fatty acids, to reduce the salt content, and to reduce formati…

La integración de la Dependencia en los Servicios Sociales Municipales

2011

La integración de la 'Ley de la Dependencia' en los Servicios Sociales de Base en el Territorio Histórico de Gipuzkoa no ha supuesto ningún descalabro de competencias entre los diferente organismos implicados.

Las solicitudes son enviadas desde las unidades de base al Departamento de Política Social a través de una aplicación informática, agilizando de esta manera la tramitaci…
