Constraints on the unitarity triangle angleγfrom Dalitz plot analysis ofB0→DK+π−decays
2016
The first study is presented of CP violation with an amplitude analysis of the Dalitz plot of B0→DK+π- decays, with D→K+π-, K+K-, and π+π-. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to 3.0 fb-1 of pp collisions collected with the LHCb detector. No significant CP violation effect is seen, and constraints are placed on the angle γ of the unitarity triangle formed from elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix. Hadronic parameters associated with the B0→DK∗(892)0 decay are determined for the first time. These measurements can be used to improve the sensitivity to γ of existing and future studies of the B0→DK∗(892)0 decay.
Future Linear Colliders: Detector R&D, Jet Reconstruction and Top Physics Potential
2016
RESUMEN: Durante el siglo XX, los descubrimientos de nuevas partículas y las medidas realizadas en los colisionadores, junto con el progreso de la física teórica, nos permitieron formular el Modelo Estándar (SM) de las interacciones entre los constituyentes de la materia. El descubrimiento del bosón de Higgs en el LHC fue un gran paso en nuestra compren- sión de las interacciones fundamentales de la naturaleza y la estructura de la materia descrita por el Modelo Estándar. Con el fin de establecer el mecanismo de ruptura de simetría electrodébil, todas las propiedades del bosón de Higgs (masa, acoplamientos, amplitud de desintegración, espín) deben medirse con precisión. El LHC tiene excelen…
Oxidative stress in preterm infants: Overview of current evidence and future prospects
2020
Preterm birth (PTB), defined as parturition prior to 37 weeks of gestation, is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal population. The incidence and severity of complications of prematurity increase with decreasing gestational age and birthweight. The aim of this review study is to select the most current evidence on the role of oxidative stress in the onset of preterm complication prevention strategies and treatment options with pre-clinical and clinical trials. We also provide a literature review of primary and secondary studies on the role of oxidative stress in preterm infants and its eventual treatment in prematurity diseases. We conducted a systematic literature s…
An Importance-Performance Matrix Analysis of the Factors Influencing US Tourists to Use Airbnb
2019
After 10 years of Airbnb and its significant growth, this research is conducted to identify which factors really matter to Airbnb users today. It provides an integrated approach, since it aggregates factors that other studies have considered separately. With a sample of 101 US respondents, the partial least squares structural equation modelling results evidence that the only factors that influence future intentions to use Airbnb are its unique and varied accommodations and satisfaction. Enjoyment was also found to have a positive effect on Satisfaction. The study further investigates these factors with an Importance Performance map, providing guidance for the prioritization of managerial ac…
Diagnóstico en educación y transiciones
2014
RESUMENEl artículo presenta una reflexión sobre el papel del Diagnóstico en Educación en las transiciones. Las premisas clásicas del diagnóstico tradicional se desmoronan con la incorporación de nuevas consideraciones relacionadas con el carácter procesual, la impredecibilidad del futuro y cambios sociales y con las nuevas tendencias metodológicas del diagnóstico. Desde una perspectiva sistémica, se sugiere un diagnóstico centrado en dos áreas prioritarias: a) la exploración de las causas que impiden el desarrollo de los individuos y el proceso de transformación de sus habilidades y, b) el compromiso paralelo con una transformación educativa y social. Asimismo, el artículo repasa el sentido…
(Un)Routinization of the Environmental Performance Measures – A Case Study; BSC Rules but Does not Routinize
2009
This study focuses on the (un)routinization of environmental performance measures (EPMs). It studies how new environmental measures were implemented within the new environmental management system (EMS) and how they became connected with the financial measures, like cost savings and profitability. By doing so, they were connected to the taken-for-granted profit orientation of the case company in order to overcome these values and to make them succeed in organization. Later on these new measures were also included in the new BSC. In conditions of the profit oriented taken-for-granted values, the BSC locked the rule status of the environmental measures, but it locked them at the operational le…
Sulla domanda di storia del pensiero economico. Alcune evidenze, alcune riflessioni
2020
In questo saggio si presenta un panorama dello stato attuale e del possibile futuro della Storia del Pensiero Economico (SPE). Nella prima parte ci concentriamo sulla domanda di SPE proveniente dall’interno del mondo accademico, da settori disciplinari diversi, a livello mondiale. La seconda parte invece individua alcuni ambiti esterni alla nostra professione che manifestano interesse nei confronti della SPE. Nella terza parte proviamo infine a proiettarci nel futuro, segnalando alcuni percorsi che ci sembra potrebbero andare incontro alle richieste identificate In this chapter we offer a presentation of the current state and possible evolution of studies in the History of Economic Thought.…
Expanding the protein catalogue in the proteome reference map of human breast cancer cells
2006
In this report we present a catalogue of 162 proteins (including isoforms and variants) identified in a prototype of proteomic map of breast cancer cells. This work represents the prosecution of previous studies describing the protein complement of breast cancer cells of the line 8701-BC, which has been well characterized for several parameters, providing to be a useful model for the study of breast cancer-associated candidate biomarkers. In particular, 110 spots were identified ex novo by PMF, or validated following previous gel matching identification method; 30 were identified by N-terminal microsequencing and the remaining by gel matching with maps available from our former work. As a c…
“How Real People Really Need Mathematics in the Real World”—Authenticity in Mathematics Education
2018
This paper discusses authenticity from the perspective of mathematics education. Often, school mathematics offers students inauthentic word problems, which don’t show the authentic usefulness of mathematics in real life. In some tasks, authentic aspects are combined with inauthentic ones (e.g., an authentic context, but the question is artificial and different from what people within that context would ask). Several studies show that students are more motivated by authentic questions than by authentic contexts. Embedding these findings, I discuss issues associated with defining authenticity in education. A first issue is that philosophers use the term to characterize a person’s existential …
Teacher Agency and Futures Thinking
2022
Problems encountered in top-down school reforms have repeatedly highlighted the significance of teachers’ agency in educational change. At the same time, temporality has been identified as a key element in teachers’ agency, with teachers’ beliefs about the future and experiences of the past shaping their agentic orientations. However, research on teachers’ future orientations is typically limited to short-term trajectories, as opposed to long-term visions of education. To address this, we draw on a futures studies perspective to give more explicit attention to teachers’ long-term visions of their work. We argue that the method of future narratives, already well…
