The use of armed drones for counter-terrorism purposes: whether customary international law?

2019

The vast and rapid development of technologies constantly creates gaps in the law within both the international and national law systems. One of such technologies the increased usage of which for military purposes has instituted a debate on the applicable law for its use under the existing legal frameworks is the technology of armed drones, also known as armed unmanned aerial vehicles (AUAVs). The source of the debate is the presumption that armed drones are almost exclusively used for counter-terrorism purposes, thus involving their use against non-state actors operating in a country that a state is not in war with. The author of this thesis will, first of all, identify the established leg…

Impact des allocations en ressources sur l'efficacité des écoles primaires en Côte d'Ivoire

2011

The quality of primary education in Côte d'Ivoire has deteriorated sharply over the past three decades. This situation is the result of an approximate management of the education system, which is characterized by a lack of educational support, a misallocation of resources, a congestion of classrooms (42 students for a teacher in primary school) and a lack of skilled and well trained teachers. In addition, the military-political conflict in September 2002 did not allow to improve this situation; on the contrary, it has further deteriorated the situation. Thus, the aim of this thesis is first to analyze the influence of resource endowments on the effectiveness of primary schools in Cote d'Ivo…

Nemo teneatur ad impossibile. Las consecuencias de la pragmática para la extirpación del bandolerismo valenciano: cláusulas relativas a la punición d…

2014

Obsesionado con atajar a cualquier precio el problema del bandolerismo, a mediados de 1586 el virrey Aytona publicó en Valencia una pragmática que hacía recaer sobre los dueños de lugares y las autoridades municipales la responsabilidad principal de la lucha contra el crimen. A tenor de las cuantiosas multas que, en aplicación de la misma, se les impondrían durante los 18 años en que la norma estuvo en vigor, en particular por incumplir las cláusulas concernientes al esclarecimiento y sanción de homicidios, cabe concluir que la corona encontró en ella un poderoso instrumento para obligar a los señores y a las oligarquías locales a colaborar más estrechamente en la ardua tarea de asegurar la…

The Keeper of the Salt. Hidden economy and clash of jurisdiction in the Valley of Cofrentes in the mid XVIIIth Century

2006

La muerte violenta de un guardia de la real renta de salinas en un barranco de Cofrentes, en febrero de 1747, puso al descubierto la existencia de una fábrica clandestina y de una red de contrabando de sal que abastecía a numerosos conventos valencianos. Dos factores coyunturales propiciaron su aparición: las dificultades de suministro de uno de los principales alfolíes reales y el impuesto extraordinario fijado sobre el precio de la sal con motivo de la guerra de Sucesión austríaca. Pero, al margen de ello, el caso revela las carencias estructurales del aparato de vigilancia y las contradicciones entre los distintos ámbitos jurisdiccionales implicados, que hicieron posible la articulación …

Regalismo e inmunidad eclesiástica en la España del siglo XVIII: la resistencia del clero valenciano a la imposición del estanco del tabaco

2007

The charters abolition decree of the Kingdoms of Valencia and Aragon kept the traditional regulation on the jurisdiction and ecclesiastic immunity, and this exception was ratified in the Royal Order the 7th of September in 1707. As the members of this class thought that it was implying a reinforcement of their privileges, they presented an intense resistance to the imposition of the tobacco monopoly, which the monarchy considered as a «well-known royalty» inherent in its sovereignty. Initially, the opposition was assumed by the ecclesiastic hierarchy and it generated jurisdictional conflicts so serious that Philip V proceeded to the emission of dispositions in favour of his royal prerogativ…

To transmit genes without becoming mother: An evolutionary conflict behind denial of pregnancy

2016

Aim: The etiology of pregnancy denial remains poorly understood. Neither necessary nor sufficient conditions can be synthesized from the risk factors identified from psychological analyses. In accordance with clinical observations, we aim to explain denial of pregnancy from an evolutionary conflict perspective. Methods: Authors investigate evolutionary biology aspects and emphasize on the transition from solitary animal species to social species. The possibility of conflicts between primitive species-perpetuation forces and subjective social-identity forces are explored. Results: As members of a social species, human beings have a dual, contradictory character of independent organisms but i…

Relationships between burnout and role ambiguity, role conflict and employee absenteeism among health workers

2014

The aim of this research was to analyze the influence of some psychosocial risk factors in the development of burnout and to analyze the influence of this phenomenon on employee absenteeism. The study sample included 142 health care workers. The data analysis included descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression models. The results confirmed the influence of role ambiguity and role conflict on burnout [F (2.139) = 26.720; p < .001], but the influence of burnout on employee absenteeism was not confirmed. However, a significant and positive relationship has been shown between burnout and employee absenteeism (β = 0.197; p < .05). In conclusion, the findings of this study support the …

Analyzing Stakeholder Diversity in G2G Efforts: Combining Descriptive Stakeholder Theory and Dialectic Process Theory

2008

Author's version of an article published in e-Service Journal, 6 (2), 3-23. Previous research indicates that the benefits of e-government initiatives are slower to realize than initially expected. This has partly been ascribed to the particularly complex settings of e-government projects, consisting of a variety of stakeholders promoting different and often conflicting objectives. Yet few studies have explicitly addressed the inherent challenges of this diversity. This study presents an analytical approach for investigating contradictory stakeholder interests by combining descriptive stakeholder theory and dialectic process theory. Descriptive stakeholder theory is concerned with why some s…
