Assessing the indirect and long-term ecological impacts of innovation in agriculture is a real challenge: the GM example
2003
All innovation in agriculture constitutes a significant and complex ecological disturbance, even if limited to a single and simple action. Indeed, whatever the nature and objective of the action, a large number of ecological processes are affected and numerous discontinuities may occur within the agro-ecosystem, in both time and space. As the GMO example illustrates, it is not sufficient to focus on direct effect of innovation, it is necessary to forecast mid- and long-term impacts of innovation with respect to the environment. Modelling phenomena appear then to be a key element to achieve this goal.
Automated Dental Identification with Lowest Cost Path-Based Teeth and Jaw Separation
2016
Abstract Teeth are some of the most resilient tissues of the human body. Because of their placement, teeth often yield intact indicators even when other metrics, such as finger prints and DNA, are missing. Forensics on dental identification is now mostly manual work which is time and resource intensive. Systems for automated human identification from dental X-ray images have the potential to greatly reduce the necessary efforts spent on dental identification, but it requires a system with high stability and accuracy so that the results can be trusted. This paper proposes a new system for automated dental X-ray identification. The scheme extracts tooth and dental work contours from the X-ray…
Universidad e Hispanidad. Tres décadas de trayectorias entrecruzadas del ministro José Ibáñez Martín y el catedrático exiliado Mariano Ruiz-Funes
2017
Presentamos la lucha desde el exilio intelectual republicano contra dos de las políticas del franquismo, la reforma de la universidad y la apropiación del término de hispanidad para los fines propagandísticos y proselitistas del nuevo régimen. Estas cuestiones son tratadas a partir de las trayectorias profesionales y vitales de dos políticos destacados, Mariano Ruiz-Funes y José Ibáñez Martín, desde sus inicios en la provincia de Murcia durante la década de 1920, en la cátedra de derecho penal uno y de enseñanza secundaria el otro, su militancia política, los servicios en misiones internacionales durante la guerra y, finalmente, la actividad de uno en la Unión de Profesores Universitarios E…
Changes in the international wine market competitiveness
2017
This study offers a contribution to understanding the complexity of the international wine trade analysing the specialisation patterns of 14 among the most important wine world actors in the period 2007â2016, in order to verify if the patterns of comparative advantages for the trade of this countries have experienced significant changes. Using the Lafay index, as a comparative advantage measure, our results reveal deep changes in the global wine market exchange. Our result constitutes a base element for the future development of the competitive scenario and provides some both theoretical and practical implications. In the baseline projection, the maintenance of the competitive position is…
Motivational strategies, working alliance, and protherapeutic behaviors in batterer intervention programs: A randomized controlled trial
2020
ABSTRACT Motivational strategies are among the most promising approaches to improve the effectiveness of batterer intervention programs (BIPs). An individualized motivational plan (IMP) is one of these motivational strategies. The present study aimed to explore whether adding an IMP to a standard BIP improved the participant-facilitator working alliance and participants' protherapeutic behaviors. To this end a randomized controlled trial was conducted. One hundred fifty-three men convicted of intimate partner violence were randomly assigned to either a standard BIP (control condition, n = 79) or a standard BIP plus IMP (experimental condition, n = 74). Working alliance (i.e., general workin…
Testosterone and attention deficits as possible mechanisms underlying impaired emotion recognition in intimate partner violence perpetrators
2016
Several studies have reported impairments in decoding emotional facial expressions in intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators. However, the mechanisms that underlie these impaired skills are not well known. Given this gap in the literature, we aimed to establish whether IPV perpetrators (n = 18) differ in their emotion decoding process, attentional skills, and testosterone (T), cortisol (C) levels and T/C ratio in comparison with controls (n = 20), and also to examine the moderating role of the group and hormonal parameters in the relationship between attention skills and the emotion decoding process. Our results demonstrated that IPV perpetrators showed poorer emotion recognition and …
Constitución y verdad. La controversia entre Rafael de Vélez y Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva a propósito de la <em>Apología del Trono</em>
2017
El trabajo aborda el lugar del discurso antiliberal reaccionario en los primeros años de la Revolución en España. Se centra para ello en la controversia que mantuvieron el diputado liberal Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva y el publicista y fraile capuchino Rafael de Vélez entre 1820 y 1825. Las fuentes utilizadas remiten directamente a los escritos de ambos polemistas tomando como punto de partida la «Apología del Trono» del Padre Vélez. Metodológicamente, la perspectiva de análisis adoptada parte de la consideración teórica de que la crítica al liberalismo, en sus diversas manifestaciones, fue parte inherente al proceso revolucionario y no un elemento marginal del mismo. El examen confrontado de…
Book Clubs and Book Commerce
2019
In the twentieth century, cumulative millions of readers received books by mail from clubs like the Book-of-the-Month Club, the Book Society or Bertelsmann Club. This Element offers an introduction to book clubs as a distribution channel and cultural phenomenon, and shows that book clubs and book commerce are linked inextricably. It argues that a global perspective is necessary to understand the cultural and economic impact of book clubs in the twentieth and into the twenty-first century. It also explores central reasons for book club membership, condensing them into four succinct categories: convenience, community, concession and, most importantly, curation. This title is also available as…

La protección en la jurisdicción penal internacional del derecho a la cultura : los crímenes internacionales de destrucción del patrimonio cultural |…
2019
Resumen: El presente artículo pretender dar una visión global de la protección del derecho a la cultura a través del derecho internacional penal y en concreto, a través de la tipificación de los crímenes de destrucción del patrimonio cultural. La persecución de tales delitos internacionales ha seguido la senda de otros crímenes en derecho internacional penal, englobándose en un primer momento entre los crímenes de guerra para de forma posterior superar dicha tipificación para poder ser tratado como crímenes de lesa humanidad de persecución e incluso, como indicios de una conducta genocida. En el presente contexto internacional, la denegación del derecho a la cultura como método de guerra es…
