De venta en venta hasta El Quijote. Un viaje europeo por la literatura de Mesón
2007
On these pages travel from the Canterbury Tales to the Quijote going from inn to inn throughout a European literary geography. We stop and lodge in the italian series of novelle (Sacchetti, Bandello), in the Chevalry Poems of the Renaissance (Pulci, Ariosto), in the Sixteenth Century theatre (from Gil Vicente to Lope de Rueda and the Intronati di Siena), in the Comedia Nueva and especially in the comedias de meson de Lope de Vega, in the Elizabethan Theatre (Shakesperare above all), in the Guzmán de Alfarache, in La ilustre fregona (the novel and also the commedy), and so on until the Quijote, where the multiple experience of inns and roads is closely examined. At every stop I reflecton the…
Anàlisi dels qüestionaris d'avaluació docent de les universitats públiques espanyoles sota el marc de l'Espai Europeu d'Educació Superior. Què avalua…
2015
La investigació col•labora en la reflexió teòrica sobre el perfil del bon professorat universitari des de 1936 fins a l’actualitat, si bé centra l’atenció en els models formulats a partir de competències docents en l’àmbit de l’Espai Europeu d’Educació Superior (EEES). No hi ha cap dubte que estem experimentant un altre model d’universitat al qual s’haurà d’acomodar un nou perfil docent que implique l’alumnat en un procés d’aprenentatge més madur i autònom. L’estudi centra el seu interès en l’anàlisi de la correspondència que existeix entre els models teòrics més recents i el perfil docent que les universitats públiques espanyoles prenen com a referència als qüestionaris d’avaluació que l’e…
Physical inactivity increases oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis.
2005
Objective— Sedentary lifestyle is associated with increased cardiovascular events. The underlying molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. An important source of vascular ROS is the NADPH oxidase. Methods and Results— C57BL6 mice were subjected to regular housing (physical inactivity) or voluntary training on running wheels (6 weeks). Inactivity increased vascular lipid peroxidation to 148±9% and upregulated superoxide release to 176±17% (L-012 chemiluminescence) and 188±29% (cytochrome C reduction assay), respectively. ROS production was predominantly increased in the endothelium and the medi…
Integrazione europea, ragione pubblica, negoziazione. Qualche riflessione a partire dalla questione delle "radici cristiane"
2007
Il presente lavoro consta di tre parti. La prima parte è dedicata all’analisi delle ragioni favorevoli e di quelle contrarie all’inserimento di una menzione alle radici cristiane nel preambolo della Costituzione europea. Nella seconda parte, a partire da una distinzione tra due possibili (macro-)modelli di integrazione europea, viene introdotta la nozione rawlsiana di ragione pubblica, nozione che può essere utilmente tenuta sullo sfondo di una concezione «sottile» dell’identità europea. In questa sede non vengono tuttavia sottaciuti alcuni limiti della nozione di ragione pubblica come strumento per l’integrazione europea. In breve, una «ragione pubblica europea» è una condizione tutt’al pi…
Performance Dissimilarities in European Union Manufacturing: The Effect of Ownership and Technological Intensity
2021
Our paper addresses the relevance of a set of continuous and categorical variables that describe industry characteristics to differences in performance between foreign versus locally owned companies in industries with dissimilar levels of technological intensity. Including data on manufacturing sector performance from 20 European Union member countries and covering the 2009–2016 period, we used the random forests methodology to identify the best predictors of EU manufacturing industries’ a priori classification based on two main attributes: ownership (foreign versus local) and technological intensity. We found that EU foreign-owned businesses dominate locally owned ones in terms of size, wh…
KOSMOS 2017 Peru Side Experiment: nutrients, phytoplankton abundances, enzyme rates, photophysiology
2022
This data was collected during an short-term incubation experiment in March 2017 that investigated the response of a surface plankton community to upwelling. This experiment was carried in the framework of the SFB754-funded KOSMOS mesocosm study that took place in La Punta, Callao, Peru between February-April 2017. A total of six different treatments were used to disentangle chemical and biological characteristics of deep water that influence surface plankton blooms: 2 different deep water sources with different nutrient concentrations; 3 treatments to distinguish the effects of inorganic nutrients, organic nutrients and deep water microbial populations. Measured variables include inorganic…
Criminalità organizzata transanazionale ed intervento europeo fra contrasto e garanzie
2011
L’attenzione dell’Unione Europea al contrasto della criminalità organizzata è rinnovata dalla risoluzione votata dal Parlamento Europeo il 25 ottobre 2011. Proseguendo una ormai ultradecennale serie di interventi in materia, il documento – ancorché solo di valore politicamente rilevante - si caratterizza per una prospettiva di analisi del fenomeno aggiornata e comprensiva dei vari possibili profili di intervento. L’occasione si presta per fare il punto sulle competenze dell’UE in materia penale dopo il Trattato di Lisbona e sul ruolo che in essa svolge proprio il tema del contrasto alla criminalità organizzata, cruciale sin dagli albori del diritto penale europeo. Una rilevanza che non vien…
Financial Performance of Mandatory Private Pension Funds in Countries of Central and Eastern Europe. A Comparative Study Between Romania and Slovakia
2020
Decreased birth rate and aging population represent a treat to PAYG public pension systems implemented in countries of Central and Eastern Europe, due to the fact that the financing is direct dependent of the social contributions payed by the taxpayers active on labor market. As solution, World Bank promotes the diversification of funding sources for pension systems and a multi-pillar structure that includes privately managed pension funds. The purpose of this paper is to present how the multi-pillar structure was implemented in Romania and Slovakia, focusing on the evolution and performance of mandatory private pension funds. The main conclusion of this article highlights that in the curre…
The territorial dimension in the EU programming and the New Framework for Public Policies: Territorial Tural Development, CAP Reform and new LEADER
2012
Lo que venimos denominando como perspectiva territorial del desarrollo es un fenómeno bastante reciente en el contexto de la Unión Europea, de apenas dos décadas. En esencia esta perspectiva territorial del desarrollo se ha centrado en un enfoque local de los procesos de desarrollo en las áreas rurales, de la mano, principalmente, de instrumentos como LEADER. La necesidad de incorporar la dimensión territorial a los procesos de desarrollo proviene no solo del éxito global de estos instrumentos, sino también por el convencimiento de que puede constituir un elemento fundamental de cara a la cohesión económica y social en el seno de la UE. Avances recientes, como el Libro Verde de la Cohesión …
Measurement of Low Concentration of Nanosized Objects Suspended in a Liquid Medium
2018
The new optical scheme of refractometer with temperature stabilisation 10-2 °C is developed, which allows measuring a refractive index of the sample with accuracy not worse than 10-5; dependence of refraction index on concentration of SiO2 nanoparticles in liquid suspension is obtained within the framework of the research.
