Effets de voisinage dans le modèle de Solow avec des externalités spatiales
2004
L’objectif de cet article est d’introduire des externalités spatiales dans le modèle de croissance de Solow afin de tenir compte de l’interdépendance géographique des régions. Ces extemalités sont générées par le stock de capital accumulé par les régions voisines. Par conséquent, une politique économique visant à augmenter le taux d’investissement d’une région influence l’ensemble des régions par un effet multiplicateur spatial qui agitd’autant plus sur le revenu par tête que les régions sont géographiquement proches. Ainsi, nous utiliserons cet effet afin d’évaluer les conséquences d’une politique régionale sur la répartition spatiale des richesses dans l’Union Européenne élargie à 27 memb…
Vivir como cristianos y pagar como moros: genealogía medieval de la servidumbre morisca en el reino de Valencia
2009
La conversión forzosa de los musulmanes del reino de Valencia, decretada en 1526, no implicó una igualación social entre cristianos «viejos» y «nuevos», ya que se mantuvo la diferencia de estatus que había existido anteriormente. El artículo examina los tres aspectos fundamentales del contenido de dicha diferencia: la intensidad de las rentas soportadas, la imposición de servicios obligatorios y las trabas a la migración interior y exterior; establece sus orígenes en las condiciones de dominación impuestas a la población infiel inmediatamente después de la conquista del siglo XIII, y traza los grandes rasgos de su evolución a lo largo de la Baja Edad Media. Se arguye que esta población estu…
Black German identities
2009
This study examines the reliability and validity of a German version of the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity (MIBI) in a sample of 170 Black Germans. The internal consistencies of all subscales are at least moderate. The factorial structure of the MIBI, as assessed by principal component analysis, corresponds to a high degree to the supposed underlying dimensional structure. Construct validity was examined by analyzing (a) the intercorrelations of the MIBI subscales and (b) the correlations of the subscales with external variables. Predictive validity was assessed by analyzing the correlations of three MIBI subscales with the level of intra-racial contact. All but one predictio…
Certification as support for resilience? Behind the curtains of a certification body — a qualitative study
2020
AbstractBackgroundCertification in healthcare often involves independent private sector bodies performing legally required or voluntary external assurance activities. These certification practices are embedded in international standards founded in traditional beliefs about rational and predictable processes for quality and safety improvement. Certification can affect organizational and cultural changes, support collaboration and encourage improvement that may be conducive to resilient performance. This study explores whether ISO 9001 quality management system certification can support resilience in healthcare, by looking at characteristics in the objectives, methods, and practice of certifi…
Productive Efficiency and Territorial Externalities in Small and Medium-Sized Industrial Firms: A Dynamic Analysis of the District Effect
2012
A series of works have analysed differential behaviour in terms of productive efficiency between companies inside a hypothetical industrial district and those outside the district. This objective has been addressed using measures of technical efficiency. The results obtained provide valuable information for quantifying the district effect at a given moment in time. However, constant changes in the market and business behaviour mean that it is worthwhile studying the business district effect from a dynamic point of view. In this study, we provide this new vision through the use of Malmquist productivity indices. This methodology enables us to analyse possible differential evolutions by compa…
The State-Trait Depression Scales: An International Comparison
2002
Equivalent English and German versions of the State-Trait Depression Scales (STDS) were developed and presented to samples of American and German students who were comparable with regard to gender and age. Factorial structure and equivalence of the two versions were determined by confirmatory factor analyses (CFA). The CFAs included multiple group analyses which were employed to compare factor patterns, loadings, factor variances and covariances across the two samples. In addition, statistical and psychometric properties of the items and scales were determined and mean differences between nationalities and genders on these scales were tested. In order to obtain information about the externa…
External iliac artery pseudoaneurysm complicating renal transplantation
2009
Objective: To assess the etiology, management and outcome of iliac pseudoaneurysms following renal transplantation. Methods: Eleven patients who underwent repair between 1982 and 2007 were identified. Five (Group 1) presented pseudoaneurysm at the anastomosis of the donor renal and native iliac arteries, and six (Group 2) presented iliac pseudoaneurysm following transplant nephrectomy. Intraoperative cultures and immunohistochemical examinations were obtained from all surgical cases to determine the existence of a relationship between infection or transplant rejection and pseudoaneurysm formation. Results: Endovascular repair (EVR) was used to treat three patients, while eight patients unde…

Correlation Analysis between External Factors and Students’ Physics Learning Achievement
2018
Research was conducted to determine whether there is 1) the relationship between the state of the family of learning achievement, 2) the relationship between the state schools of learning achievement, 3) the relationship between communities of learning achievement, and 4) the relationship between the state of the family, school and community environment against learning achievement. This research is associative quantitative correlational analysis techniques. The results showed: 1) There is a positive relationship between the state of the family of learning achievement, the result of the calculation shows r table> count r ie 0.51 > 0.38, 2) There is a positive relationship between the …
Revisiting the regulation of auditor independence: Spanish evidence on different perceptions
2012
Following the dramatic financial scandals at the turn of the millennium, the financial system reporting framework has changed considerably to restore confidence among investors. In 2002, Spain was one of the pioneer EU member countries to regulate audit quality and protect auditor independence. In the specific setting of Spain, the objective of this research is to obtain evidence that can contribute to the debate on whether there is a need for regulation in this field. In this sense, we find evidence on the existence of an expectations gap between two groups of agents affected by the important changes that the 2002 rules on independence and audit quality imposed on auditors, i.e., the audit…
