A chi si rivolgono le norme di diritto internazionale?

2023

In this chapter the traditional legal issues concerning the identification of the subjects of international law is examined according to an original perspective. First of all, the legal regimes of self-determination, minorities and national reconciliation processes are seen, as a whole; namely, as expressions of the increasing legal value of civil societies (peoples, groups) in international law. Second: the legal regime of State sovereignty is dealt with in this chapter, since sovereignty is considered as being the logical corollary of state international capacity. Third and most importantly: the legal position of individuals is not examined in general terms, but with specific regard to so…

Actitudes hacia la maternidad y el apoyo social como predictores de trastornos emocionales en mujeres jóvenes con cáncer recientemente diagnosticadas…

1970

espanolObjetivo. Mujeres jovenes con cancer pueden beneficiarse de opciones para la preservacion de su fertilidad. Se necesitan estudios que determinen las implicaciones psicologicas de someterse a estas tecnicas y de la propia decision de recibirlas. Este estudio analiza el distres emocional, las preocupaciones sobre la fertilidad, las actitudes ante la maternidad, la satisfaccion con la informacion recibida y el apoyo social en mujeres con cancer que reciben un tratamiento de preservacion de la fertilidad. Metodo. Una muestra de 115 mujeres (edad media 31 anos) recien diagnosticas de cancer fueron evaluadas (Entrevista semiestructurada, Escala de apoyo social percibido, BSI-18) el mismo d…

Family Transformation: The Case of the Textile and Clothing Industry Workers in Valencia / La transformación de la familia: el caso de los trabajador…

2014

The main goal of this article is to assess the infl uence of the individualisation process on working-class family relationships. This is a relevant analysis, bearing in mind the importance of the family in welfare provision in Spain and the transformative capacity that the individualisation process has had for the conception and management of family bonds; however, the main theoretical work which has dealt with this process to date has failed to address the working class. The in-depth interviews conducted with workers from the textile and clothing industry of the Valencian regions of l’Alcoia, Comtat and Vall d’Albaida led to the conclusion that their concept of family and care responsibil…

The determinants of efficiency: the case of the Spanish industry

2002

The aim of this paper is to analyse the factors explaining the technical efficiency of Spanish industrial sectors during the period 1991–1994 using the Survey of Business Strategies (SBE) of the Ministry of Industry and Energy. It analyses whether efficiency can be explained by factors external to the firm such as the degree of competition in the markets in which it operates, characteristics of the firm (size, organization, advantages of location, participation of public capital, etc.), as well as the effects of dynamic disturbances that may affect the degree of utilization of the productive capacity.

A DSS for Strategic Planning

2005

This chapter presents an innovative approach for assisting entrepreneurs in making long term capacity decisions in Advanced Manufacturing Systems (AMSs). AMSs require high investment costs in manufacturing equipment, human resources and technology knowledge. Such high investments together with the wideness and the variability of the competition scenario contribute to increase the perception of the risk for industrial entrepreneurs especially in SMEs. This problem could be approached by providing the entrepreneur with a Decision Support System (DSS) able to assist her/him in making long term capacity decision in AMS. The DSS proposed in this chapter allows the entrepreneur to plan its produc…

A Wideband MIMO Channel Model Derived From the Geometric Elliptical Scattering Model

2006

In this paper, we present a reference model for a wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel based on the geometric elliptical scattering model. The model takes into account the exact relationship between the angle of departure (AOD) and the angle of arrival (AOA). Based on this relationship, the statistical properties of the reference model are studied. Analytical solutions are presented for the three- dimensional (3D) space-time cross-correlation function (CCF), the temporal autocorrelation function (ACF), the 2D space CCF, and finally the frequency correlation function (FCF). The correlation properties are studied and visualized under the assumption of isotropic as well as no…

On the first- and second-order statistics of the capacity of N*Nakagami-m channels for applications in cooperative networks

2012

This article deals with the derivation and analysis of the statistical properties of the instantaneous channel capacitya of N*Nakagami-m channels, which has been recently introduced as a suitable stochastic model for multihop fading channels. We have derived exact analytical expressions for the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), level-crossing rate (LCR), and average duration of fades (ADF) of the instantaneous channel capacity of N*Nakagami-m channels. For large number of hops, we have studied the first-order statistics of the instantaneous channel capacity by assuming that the fading amplitude of the channel can approximately be modeled as a lognor…

Seismic evaluation of ordinary RC buildings retrofitted with externally bonded FRPs using a reliability-based approach

2020

International audience; Despite the extensive literature on reinforced concrete (RC) members retrofitted with fiberreinforced polymer (FRP) composites, few studies have employed a reliability-based approach to evaluate the seismic performance of RC buildings in terms of their collapse capacity and ductility. In this study, the performance of a poorly-confined RC building structure is investigated for different FRP retrofitting schemes using different configurations and combinations of wrapping and flange-bonded FRPs, as two well-established techniques. A nonlinear pushover analysis is then implemented with a computational reliability analysis based on Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) to deter…

Structural performances of pultruded GFRP emergency structures – Part 2: Full-scale experimental testing

2019

Abstract This paper presents an experimental testing of a pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) structure used for emergency applications continuing the discussion presented in a previous paper (part 1) where the study of the characteristics of material and elements are presented. First, the design of the composite structure and components and the evaluation of the structural behavior by means of numerical and analytical approach according to current regulatory codes are described. In this frame, the global and local response was observed according to load paths deriving from the design loads at limit states. Then, the experimental test on a full-scale 2D model is presented at diff…
