Aproximación cuantitativa y cualitativa al marketing con causa viral en redes sociales: un estudio cross-cultural
2020
La intensificación de la competencia entre marcas y la creciente dificultad para hacer llegar los mensajes corporativos a los clientes son dos de los grandes retos a los que las empresas actuales hacen frente con distintos tipos de estrategias de marketing. El marketing con causa y el marketing viral son dos ejemplos destacables de estrategias que continúan ganando protagonismo tanto en los planes de marketing como en la investigación académica. La presente Tesis Doctoral ambiciona hacer una aportación renovada a estas dos áreas de estudio tradicionales como son el marketing con causa y el marketing viral. Para ello, trata de estudiar el fenómeno de las comunicaciones de marketing con causa…
The reliability of spanish and german electricity forward prices. Databases and price discovery process
2021
Given the existence of different databases from different sources that offer information on forward electricity prices, the need to compare them arises to guarantee that research results and trading decisions based on them are not sensitive to the database used. We worked with forward electricity prices traded over the counter, closest month to maturity, covering the period from 2010 to 2016 for the Spanish over the counter (OTC) market, and from 2008 to 2016 for the German OTC market. The goal of this paper was to test whether there were significant discrepancies between the price series provided by two of the main agencies of financial information (Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg), as well …

I delitti di inquinamento ambientale e di disastro ambientale in una recente proposta di riforma del legislatore italiano.
2015
Abstract The reform concerning “ecocrimes” recently approved by the Parliament impressed a significant change to environmental criminal law in Italy. Amongst the most important novelties introduced by the reform, this paper considers the criminal offences of “Inquinamento ambientale” (environmental pollution) and of “Disastro ambientale” (environmental disaster), which are paradigmatic examples of the legislator’s attempt to balance the criminal-political needs for repressing the most serious forms of aggression against environment with the need for adopting a legislative technique of description of the offences coherent with the peculiarities of the protected legal good and with the modali…
On the semantic interpretation of complex causatives in Finnish: An experimental morphology approach
2009
It is well documented that in some languages, such as in Finnish, it is possible to stack derivational morphemes iteratively to word stems. However, such complex words are seldom used in real communication, and it is unclear whether they are interpreted compositionally in tandem with their morphological structure. Here I studied the matter by eliciting semantic interpretations from ten native speakers of Finnish for words whose complexity and morphemic content were systematically varied. The results show that although the frequency of semantic interpretation decreases linearly as a function of the number of morphemes in a word (contrary to the case of ungrammatical words where the semantic …
Problemas de la causalidad mental: el nuevo dualismo
2013
Llamamos “causalidad mental” la influencia de nuestros estados y procesos mentales sobre nuestra conducta. Como es sabido, el dualismo cartesiano no logró dar cuenta de la causalidad mental. Pero la causalidad mental desempeña un papel crucial en nuestras vidas. El trabajo se centra en la causalidad de los estados mentales intencionales. Tras presentar las dificultades con la causalidad mental con las que (un tanto paradójicamente) se enfrentan las versiones modernas del materialismo, conjeturo que, en l base de estas dificultades, hay una nueva forma de dualismo, de tipo materialista, un dualismo entre un órgano corporal, el cerebro, y el resto del cuerpo. Este dualismo sostiene dos tesis …
Recipes of success : the case of pulp and paper industry 1989-2015
2017
Explaining the variation in competitive positioning actions across firms in the face of environmental change has long inspired debates in the field of strategic management. Despite the importance of these questions, little effort has been done to examine the complex interdependencies among industry, organizational attributes, and strategic actions that potentially underlie the organizational performance in one model without controlling one or more of the three factors. Most of the studies on competitive dynamics primarily have focused on independently exploring the effects of organizational characteristics or the industry structure on competitive actions and reactions, which, in turn, impac…
Ba/Ca ratios in shells of Arctica islandica —Potential environmental proxy and crossdating tool
2017
Abstract Ba/Ca shell time-series of marine bivalves typically show flat background levels which are interrupted by erratic sharp peaks. Evidence from the literature indicates that background Ba/Ca shell ratios broadly reflect salinity conditions. However, the causes for the Ba/Ca shell peaks are still controversial and widely debated although many researchers link these changes to primary productivity, freshwater input or spawning events. The most striking feature is that the Ba/Ca shell peaks are highly synchronous in contemporaneous specimens from the same population. For the first time, we studied Ba/Ca shell in mature and ontogenetically old (up to 251 year-old) specimens of the long-li…
Cannabis and Psychosis: A Causal Association
2021
Nowadays, the use of cannabis is widespread around the world and THC content of confiscated cannabis has increased in the last years. This fact has raised some consequences, especially in the mental health of the people. Although there have existed some initial controversies about the relationship between cannabis and psychosis, at the present time there are some certainties of the causal association between them. Through the Bradford Hill postulates, we will try to demonstrate that cannabis produces psychosis. The strength of the association, the consistency along the studies, biological gradient, temporality, plausibility, coherence, experimentation, and analogies support the cause-effect…
Positive and Negative Media Effects on University Students’ Learning: Preliminary Findings and a Research Program
2019
Research in communication science highlights positive as well as negative effects of news and social media on learning but focuses predominantly on the largely unintended knowledge acquisition of the overall population. Research in educational science deals with students’ knowledge acquisition but is largely limited to formal learning such as in university courses. In this paper, we report findings of a pilot study combining both approaches by dealing with mass and social media effects on university students’ learning. While this study reveals several effects, their influences and causality remain largely unclear. Therefore, we propose a research program to explain positive and negative med…
