Determinants of COVID-19 Vaccine Rollouts and Their Effects on Health Outcomes
2022
Background Vaccination against the coronavirus disease (SARS-CoV-2) is understood to be the key way out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Limited evidence exists on the determinants of vaccine rollouts and their health effects at the country level. Objective Examine the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine rollouts and their effects on health outcomes. Methods Ordinary least squares regressions with standard errors clustered at the country level for Cross-section and Panel daily data of vaccinations and various health outcomes (new COVID-19 cases, fatalities, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions) for an unbalanced sample of about 200 countries during the period 16 December 2020 to 20 June 2021.

Scalable and Privacy-Preserving Admission Control for Smart Grids
2015
International audience; Energy demand and production need to be constantly matched in the power grid. The traditional paradigm to continuously adapt the production to the demand is challenged by the increasing penetration of more variable and less predictable energy sources, like solar photovoltaics and wind power. An alternative approach is the so called direct control of some inherently flexible electric loads to shape the demand. Direct control of deferrable loads presents analogies with flow admission control in telecommunication networks: a request for network resources (bandwidth or energy) can be delayed on the basis of the current network status in order to guarantee some performanc…
Les défis de l'orientation dans le monde (Dossier)
2005
05013; L'ensemble des textes traite des résultats de l'orientation en se fondant sur les notions communes d'efficacité et d'équité. Les textes font apparaître les outils de l'orientation. Ils sont regroupés en trois ensembles et l'objet traité dans chaque ensemble est particulier : l'orientation au collège pour le premier, l'admission et l'orientation dans l'enseignement supérieur pour le second, les politiques d'orientation pour le troisième. Chaque ensemble est en outre organisé de telle sorte que la diversité économique, politique et scolaire initiale soit peut ou prou respectée au sein de chacun d'eux.
El artículo 18 del estatuto de los trabajadores italiano a la luz de las últimas reformas laborales
2015
En las siguientes líneas se realizará un somero repaso sobre las principales las modificaciones de la disciplina italiana de los despidos individuales recogida en el artículo 18 del Estatuto de los Trabajadores italiano, introducidas por las últimas reformas laborales. En ellas se constará el impacto de dichas reformas en el cuadro legislativo de referencia, viéndose reducida la posibilidad de readmisión del trabajador en el caso de despido individual improcedente. Además se harán unos apuntes críticos sobre el concepto de flexsecurity, de cual se destaca una gran inflación en el presente contexto de crisis económica. This paper examines the amendments made to the Italian regulation of indi…
El carácter contingente de las elecciones y la experiencia universitaria : riesgo y origen social
2021
Este trabajo pretende estudiar la experiencia de los estudiantes universitarios de origen social bajo en un contexto de incremento de las dificultades económicas y de endurecimiento de las condiciones institucionales en la universidad. Los momentos que se analizan son: la elección de estudios que realizan estos jóvenes, las condiciones de su paso por la universidad y su proyección de futuro en relación con las decisiones próximas que prevén tomar. Para ello se analizan entrevistas hechas a estudiantes de diferentes universidades catalanas y andaluzas. Entre los jóvenes de origen social bajo se detecta un estilo evitador del riesgo muy consciente de los obstáculos que, en un marco de incerti…
An exploratory study of the implications of free admission to museums and monuments : perceptions and effects on visiting behaviors.
2007
International audience; What perceptions of free admission to museums and monuments do French visiting and non-visiting audiences have ? What are the consequences of such perceptions on individuals' perceptions, visit-planning and behavior patterns in museums and monuments ? Research conducted between 2002 and 2003 tried to answer these questions by multiangulation applied to data production and analysis. Results show that free admission alter the perceptions of museums and monuments, it is secondary in planning and implementation of visit-planning, and finally it can spark a learning process from the visit that results in the appropriation of a free admission scheme. Conclusions are relate…
Une étude exploratoire des représentations de la gratuité et de ses effets sur le comportement des publics des musées et des monuments

Conclusions are related to the need to create …
Un nouvel invariant des algèbres de Lie et des super-algèbres de Lie quadratiques
2011
In this thesis, we defind a new invariant of quadratic Lie algebras and quadratic Lie superalgebras and give a complete study and classification of singular quadratic Lie algebras and singular quadratic Lie superalgebras, i.e. those for which the invariant does not vanish. The classification is related to adjoint orbits of Lie algebras o(m) and sp(2n). Also, we give an isomorphic characterization of 2-step nilpotent quadratic Lie algebras and quasi-singular quadratic Lie superalgebras for the purpose of completeness. We study pseudo-Euclidean Jordan algebras obtained as double extensions of a quadratic vector space by a one-dimensional algebra and 2-step nilpotent pseudo-Euclidean Jordan al…
Adverse Clinical Events and Mortality During Hospitalization and 3 Months After Discharge in Cognitively Impaired Elderly Patients
2012
BACKGROUND: Controversial findings are reported on hospital outcome in cognitively impaired patients. The aim of this study was to explore mortality risk according to cognitive status during hospitalization and after 3 months in elderly patients. METHODS: Sixty-six internal medicine and geriatric wards in Italy participated in the "Registry Politerapie SIMI (REPOSI)" during 2010. Of the 1,380 in-patients, aged 65 and older enrolled, 1,201 were included. Cognition was evaluated with the Short Blessed Test (SBT). Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association of questionable and impaired cognition (according to SBT cutoff points) with mortality during hospitalization and at follow-u…
Care Dependency in Patients with Heart Failure: A Cross-Sectional Study in Spain.
2020
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a progressive and debilitating condition that represents an ever-growing problem for health systems worldwide. HF patients feel that they are a burden on their families, they feel socially isolated and have a low perception of their health. Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to: (1) to explore the profile of care dependency in a representative sample of Spanish HF patients through the Care Dependency Scale (CDS), and (2) to identify correlates of care dependency in this population. Material and Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 187 patients admitted for HF decompensation to the Hospital Clínico of Zaragoza (Spain). Results: Only 1…
