Spatio-temporal cluster detection of chickenpox in Valencia, Spain in the period 2008-2012.

2015

Chickenpox is a highly contagious airborne disease caused by <em>Varicella zoster</em>, which affects nearly all non-immune children worldwide with an annual incidence estimated at 80-90 million cases. To analyze the spatiotemporal pattern of the chickenpox incidence in the city of Valencia, Spain two complementary statistical approaches were used. First, we evaluated the existence of clusters and spatio-temporal interaction; secondly, we used this information to find the locations of the spatio-temporal clusters via the space-time permutation model. The first method used detects any aggregation in our data but does not provide the spatial and temporal information. The second me…

Fuentes agrarias pre catastrales valencianas. Su utilidad geográfica

1998

Valencia agrarian precatastral sources. Its geographical utility. The socalled Llibres de Values de la Peyta and Cap-patrons are the oldest agrarian census in Valencia. As a geographic source, they give information about the properties, their division into plots, and about the types of lands and crops. They also make possible an approximate cartographic representation of all this.

An ‘Authoritarian Nexus’? China’s Alleged Special Relationship with Autocratic States in Latin America

2015

China’s rise is often interpreted as a harbinger of a new era in world politics and raises the question if such a power transition may impact upon patterns of democratic rule across the globe. There is growing interest in whether China acts as an outside stabilizer for other authoritarian regimes. This paper contributes to the emerging literature on the international dimension of autocratic rule by focusing on Chinese Latin American policy. Using the method of structured focused comparisons, we want to assess whether China’s relations towards the Latin American autocracies Cuba and Venezuela differ from those with structurally similar, but democratic cooperation partners in the region, name…

An Anthropological Insight on the Commonalities between Tourism and Archaeology

2019

Over the years, archaeology maturated towards something else than a scientific discipline. Archaeological sites are culturally showed as emerging and recycled tourist attractions (Robb 1998; Bateman 2006; Rowan & Baram 2004; Karlsson & Gustafsson, 2006). At a closer look, tourism is understood as a leisure activity which is enrooted in the needs of relaxing and evasion while archaeology -as a knowledge platform which is based on scientific method- explores the history of ancient cultures. This raises a more than interesting question respecting the commonalities and differences between archaeology and tourism. To some extent, archaeologists find ancient relics and objects whi…

Variabilidad espacial de los cambios de cauce en una rambla mediterránea en las seis últimas décadas (1946-2006)

2014

An analysis of morphological changes during the last six decades is presented for the Rambla de Cervera, a Mediterranean ephemeral stream located in the eastern sector of the Iberian Mountain Range. The studied channel (16.5 km) has two contrasted sectors: a horst confined sector (5.5 km) and a graben sector (11 km). Channel changes were analysed through the analysis of aerial photographs, with geographical information systems (GIS) and comparison of topographic surveys made with a GPS-RTK. Between 1946 and 2006 the Rambla de Cervera, underwent channel adjustments comparable to those observed in other Mediterranean rivers. The gravel channel markedly narrowed, losing width (68.5%) and chann…

Simuladores de lluvia y su aplicación a la Geomorfología : Estado de la cuestión

2013

During the last decades, Geomorphologists have developed a huge variety of scientific instruments as in the field as in the laboratory. Within the invented apparatus stand out the rainfall simulators, which have been used with different objectives since the 30s. His scientific benefit produced an increase in the variety of sizes, drop-formers, frames, rainfall characteristics, etc., for rainfall simulators based on drop former (tips) and on spray-nozzles systems. This paper reviews the history and the evolution of the rainfall simulators, and discusses the advantages and inconvenience of the simulated rainfall. We also point out the main uses: soil erosion rates measurements runoff, infiltr…

Characterization of a new, nonpathogenic mutant of Botrytis cinerea with impaired plant colonization capacity.

2006

International audience; Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic pathogen that attacks more than 200 plant species.Here, the nonpathogenic mutant A336, obtained via insertional mutagenesis, was characterized.Mutant A336 was nonpathogenic on leaves and fruits, on intact and wounded tissue, while still able to penetrate the host plant. It grew normally in vitro on rich media but its conidiation pattern was altered. The mutant did not produce oxalic acid and exhibited a modified regulation of the production of some secreted proteins (acid protease 1 and endopolygalacturonase 1). Culture filtrates of the mutant triggered an important oxidative burst in grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ) suspension cells, a…

Instituciones e intereses en conflicto ante la regulación contable internacional: el caso del sector financiero español

2014

ResumenEl trabajo analiza las interrelaciones entre las normas contables y la información financiera que elaboran las empresas y las instituciones y los incentivos empresariales a fin de contribuir al debate sobre el futuro de las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera (NIIF). Se destaca que las diferencias en las instituciones —y en concreto en el control de la aplicación de las normas— hacen muy difícil la comparabilidad de la información, lo que impide lograr todas las ventajas que podría conllevar la adopción de las NIIF. Se ilustra esta problemática a través del proceso que sigue la normativa contable española para el sector financiero, proceso en el que el Banco de España de…
