Listado taxonómico comentado de los Capitélidos (Annelida, Polychaeta) de la península Iberica, islas Chafarinas, Baleares y Canarias

2013

[EN] The present annotated checklist has been elaborated after revision of preserved materials (from the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid and the reference collection of the Marine Biology Laboratory of the University of Valencia) and published literature related to capitellids from the Iberian Peninsula, Chafarinas, Balearic and Canary Islands. Twenty-four species and subspecies belonging to thirteen genera are recognized as valid taxa. With this checklist we include some taxonomic details and information on distribution at both global and regional levels. This work includes the setal formula and diagrammatic representation of capitellid taxa treated in this study.

Environment in Megacities: Tehran Waterscapes

2021

Defining contemporary urban paradigms is the challenge of this time, especially when the urban dynamics are so fluid they spread uncontrollably in overextended and overpopulated territories. This is the case for megacities, metropolitan areas with more than 10 million inhabitants, which place the emphasis on how to manage energy consumption in such filled places. In this frame, the city of Tehran, the capital of the Islamic Republic of Iran, scene of political and cultural disputes, administrative and economic headquarter of the country, with its nearly 15 million residents and a daily traffic of more than 20 million people, is currently one of the most populous cities in the world and repr…

Smart City. Una strategia per ri-pensare lo sviluppo urbano sostenibile

La ricerca prende avvio dalle riflessioni sulla crescita della città contemporanea, alla luce del sempre più allarmante sfruttamento delle risorse della natura, criticità che contribuisce al riscaldamento globale. Interrogarsi sulla Smart City è stato un importante punto di riflessione in una fase storica in cui il tema della città intelligente rappresenta una strategia per ri-pensare lo sviluppo urbano sostenibile, partendo da una visione che metta a fattor comune progetti politici, ambientali, economici, sociali e culturali, è fondamentale che le Istituzioni siano messe in grado di attivare processi di medio e lungo periodo e di breve termine che creino le basi fondanti per l’evoluzione e…

Determination of glyphosate in water samples with the combination of cation-exchange chromatography and capillary electrophoresis

2003

An analytical method for determination of pesticide Glyphosate in water as a combination of cation-exchange chromatography and capillary electrophoresis is presented. Pure water was spiked with Glyphosate at concentrations 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mM and percolated through a strong cation-exchange column packed with Dowex 50WX4-400 resin in its H+ form. The extract was further analyzed by capillary electrophoresis in indirect detection mode. The calibration curve for the pesticide in the range 0.1–2.5 mM was linear and with high degree of reproducibility. The obtained recoveries for all the studied concentrations amount 85%. Afterwards, the possibility to determine Glyphosate at the concentrati…

Entrepreneurs (novices vs. experts) and investors: Interaction and rationality dynamics (effectual vs. causal)

2019

The paper studies the mechanisms that govern the interactions between the entrepreneur (novice or expert) and the specific investors of emerging firms (business angels (BAs) and venture-capital firms (VCs)). Combining both literatures on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial finance, our aim is to understand if the rationalities of these three actors help them or not to interact, and, to study how they influence each other during the firm's growth. In order to do so, we undertake two processual case studies. Our results show that effectual rationality underlines the interaction between the entrepreneur and the BAs at the creation of the firm, whilst causal rationality is helpful in the searc…

Valencia 1936-1939. La infancia bajo las bombas. Los refugios antiaereos de los centros escolares

2018

El objetivo de este trabajo es intentar un acercamiento histórico a la Guerra Civil española, a las circunstancias que convirtieron a la ciudad de Valencia en la capital de la II República, y las consecuencias que ello supuso para la propia ciudad y sus habitantes. El empleo del bombardeo estratégico, con ataques a las ciudades, tanto desde el mar como desde el aire, diluyó la diferencia entre los combatientes y población civil, empezándose ya a experimentar lo que pocos años después se denominó «la guerra total», con procedimientos bélicos tendentes a la completa destrucción del enemigo. A consecuencia de estas tácticas de ataques indiscriminados a las ciudades de la retaguardia, el gobier…

Cross‐country data on skills and the quality of schooling: A selective survey

2022

Scores in standardized international student achievement tests and some recent adult literacy studies provide interesting data on the quality of educational outputs and on the skill level of the population that can be a useful complement to the data on the quantity of schooling which have been most commonly used in the growth literature. This paper describes the most recent available primary data on the subject, reviews different attempts to organize, standardize, and summarize them, and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the existing indicators and their potential usefulness as explanatory variables in empirical analyses of the determinants of income and welfare levels and growth ra…

Demographic determinants of creativity: the analysis of the development of creative potential and forecast for the Baltic states

2017

AbstractHuman capital, affected by the demographic determinants, nowadays becomes a novel driver of change and regional development. Changes in the modern economy determine the future leading role of human capital, especially its creative dimension in the development of modern, sustainable competitive advantages of countries and regions. Considering the negative demographical tendencies in the Baltic States, the aim of this paper is to analyse and forecast the development of creative potential in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Our methodology is based on the estimation of a regression model describing the relations between Global Creativity Index (GCI) and its components with the available …

Of Friends and Foes in Organizations: A Theoretical Perspective Upon Performance at Work

2014

Abstract The present paper highlights, from a theoretical perspective, the main challenges which aim work performance, inside meta- analytical research studies in organizations, focusing, especially, on factors and organizational concepts, directly related to performance and their relations within. Results show that, in most cases, human resources oriented management resides in an increase of performance at work. In this manner, team effectiveness, group size and proactive behavior determine and influence the levels of work performance, from a positive perspective, whilst turnover is widely associated with a negative view.

Reflections on Human Resources – Vital Intangible Assets of Organizations

2014

Abstract Starting from the reality that human resources represent the most important strategic resource of the modern organization and that each human being is a unique entity, with own personality, needs and offer, the investment in human resources should become the most important investments of organizations, despite being the most risky investments. The only alternative to avoid this risk and to bring together employee and employer on the same level is career management. From a different perspective, human resources represent the intellectual capital of organizations, the only ones that can assimilate and, from the perspective of the new economy, make the most of knowledge. All these asp…
