A joint reading of positional and relational goods
2013
Both relational and positional goods are based upon an idea of joint consumption - though with opposite signs. Indeed, in both cases, individuals' consumption choices take into account not only the individuals themselves, but others, as well. Given that relational goods provide a form of identity to their consumers, we show that a certain degree of positionality emerges within the consumption of relational goods. Analogously, except in a two-agent context, each positional good also has a relational component. What emerges is a complex structure of economic outcomes based on both relational and positional motives.
Repeat Assessed Values Model for Housing Price Index
2017
Abstract This study proposes an innovative methodology, named Repeat Appraised Price Model (RAV), useful for determining the price index numbers for real estate markets and the corresponding index numbers of hedonic prices of main real estate characteristics in the case of a lack of data. The methodological approach proposed in this paper aims to appraise the time series of price index numbers. It integrates the principles of the method of repeat sales with the peculiarities of the Hedonic Price Method, overcoming the problem of an almost total absence of repeat sales for the same property in a given time range; on the other hand, the technique aims to overcome the limitation of the repeat …
Mariano Cabrerizo: literary initiatives and liberal energy in the time of Fernando VII
2018
La actividad del editor Mariano Cabrerizo ilumina el itinerario de la novela y la burguesía. El espíritu exaltado del Trienio lo condujo a la cárcel y al destierro, lo que supuso un duro golpe para la producción editorial y la economía familiar. Pero gracias a la inteligencia y al oportunismo pudo relanzar su negocio por medio de la Colección de novelas, poderoso instrumento en la difusión de la narrativa europea y española. Las suscripciones de los particulares, de las grandes instituciones y de las bibliotecas privadas ayudaron a consolidar las iniciativas comerciales y literarias de Cabrerizo. Los avatares personales condujeron al famoso editor a una nueva situación de bonanza económica …
Väärinymmärretty kuningas : asteekkihallitsija Montezuma Meksikon valloittaneiden espanjalaisten konkestadorien selonteoissa
2011
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan Meksikon espanjalaisvalloittajien asteekkihallitsija Montezumasta laatimia kuvauksia. Kirjallisuudessa Montezuma on nähty arkana ja alistuvana johtajana, jonka heikkouksia on pidetty syynä asteekkien tappioon vieraita valloittajia vastaan. Käsitys juontuu asteekkeilta valloituksen jälkeen kootusta perimätiedosta, jolle espanjalaisten valloittajien laatimien muistelmien ja raporttien tiedot on nähty vahvistuksena. Artikkelissa selitetään Montezuman kuvauksia sijoittamalla Montezuman omin silmin nähneiden valloittajien kirjoittamat lähteet konteksteihinsa tutkimuksen ja aikalaiskirjallisuuden avulla. Artikkelissa osoitetaan, että mikäli lähteiden kohdalla otetaan hu…
Economic Sustainability of Italian Greenhouse Cherry Tomato
2014
Greenhouse tomato cultivation plays an important role in Sicily, being the primary production area in Italy, due to its favorable pedo-climatic conditions that permit extra-seasonal productions. In Sicily, more than half of greenhouse tomato production is derived from the Province of Ragusa on the southeastern coast, where especially cherry tomato typologies are cultivated. Over the last decade, the Ragusa Province has registered a decrease both in terms of greenhouse tomato area and harvested production due to several structural problems that would require restructuring of the tomato supply chain. Thus, since recognition of real costs and profitability of tomato growing is a vital issue, b…
ESTADOS PROVINCIALES Y OFICIOS DE HACIENDA EN EL REINO DE FRANCIA (SIGLOS XVI A XVIII): LOS CASOS DE BORGOÑA Y DE BRETAÑA
2014
Los estados provinciales de Borgoña y Bretaña crearon un personal financiero específico para recaudar sus impuestos, con cronologías distintas — desde el siglo XVI en Borgoña, en el siglo XVIII en Bretaña. El sistema no sólo fue la base de arbitrios financieros utilizados para satisfacer necesidades puntuales de fondos, vendiéndose los cargos u obligando a sus titulares a costear el aumento de su sueldo. Las asambleas provinciales también se valieron de él para preservar cierta autonomía y mantener una forma de separación, aunque sólo fuera formal, entre la fiscalidad real tradicional que estaba admitida —cuyo volumen ya casi no variaba— y unasexigencias extraordinarias. Éstas requerían un …
Levels and Changes of Physical Activity in Adolescents during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Contextualizing Urban vs. Rural Living Environment
2020
The COVID-19 pandemic and the social distancing implemented shortly after influence physical activity levels (PALs). The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the changes in PAL and factors associated with PALs among Croatian adolescents while considering the impact of community (urban vs. rural living environment). The sample included 823 adolescents (mean age: 16.5 ±
Restoration of High Frequency Auditory Perception After Robot-Assisted or Manual Cochlear Implantation in Profoundly Deaf Adults Improves Speech Reco…
2021
Background and Purpose: Robot-assisted cochlear implantation has recently been implemented in clinical practice; however, its effect on hearing outcomes is unknown. The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate hearing performance 1 year post-implantation whether the electrode array was inserted manually or assisted by a robot.Methods: Forty-two profoundly deaf adults were implanted either manually (n = 21) or assisted by a robot (RobOtol®, Collin, Bagneux, France) with three different electrode array types. Participants were paired by age, and electrode array type. The scalar position of the electrode array in the cochlea was assessed by 3D reconstruction from the pre- and post-implant…

Crystal structure of the pyridine–diiodine (1/1) adduct
2015
In the title adduct, C5H5N·I2, the N—I distance [2.424 (8) Å] is remarkably shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii. The line through the I atoms forms an angle of 78.39 (16)° with the normal to the pyridine ring.
