Entrepreneurs’ Exit and Paths to Retirement: Theoretical and Empirical Considerations
2019
The number of ageing entrepreneurs in micro- and small-sized companies is rapidly increasing in Finland and other European Union countries. Over half a million jobs, in over one hundred thousand companies within the EU, are lost annually due to unsuccessful, predominantly retirement-related transfers of businesses. This challenge coincides with EU Grand Challenges and has been highlighted in the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan (European Commission 2013). It has been estimated that in Finland, some 8000 jobs are lost yearly due to the ageing of entrepreneurs. Therefore, entrepreneur ageing has implications not only for the ageing individual but also for the company and the society at large…
Les petites agglomérations françaises et espagnoles face à la grande vitesse ferroviaire : comment convertir l'accessibilité en attractivité ?
2013
Characterized by a similar size and radial structure, high-speed rail French and Spanish networks are designed to meet long distance accessibility needs of major metropolitan systems. However, the two systems serve a number of towns with less than 100,000 inhabitants, which understand this opportunity as means to improve their attractiveness. The comparison of the two networks, which systems obey to different operating principles, allows specifying the role played by the high speed in the precise situation of these small towns. Moreover, this comparison allows analyzing interactions between accessibility gains and development strategies that have been implemented. Beyond their diversity, th…
Nuevos datos sobre la sociedad y el derecho celtibéricos: la regulación de la cabaña ganadera
2012
Basándose en varios documentos medievales, mediante los cuales los reyes de la Corona de Aragón restablecieron un tribunal especial consuetudinario (tribunal del ligallo) para devolver a sus dueños el ganado mostrenco, el Autor determina el origen de este tribunal como antiquísima institución celtibérica y reconstruye su funcionamiento y papel en las sociedades célticas de la Península Ibérica. Esta corte de justicia, propia de todas las agrupaciones celtibéricas de siete miembros (oppida), se reunía dos veces por año, coincidiendo sus sesiones con las dos grandes festividades de Beltene (1 de mayo) y de Samain (1 de noviembre), y tenía como misión resolver todos los conflictos pecuarios su…

Great Event, a new Strategic Instrument for urban Developpement: On the impact of World Expo on City and Society
2003
Exposition grand public : "Nature Incognito, la face cachée des villes", Jardin des Sciences, Dijon, France, 5 avril au 17 novembre 2019
2019
Une expo dédiée à la biodiversité en ville.Du 5 avril au 17 novembre 2019, le Jardin des Sciences de Dijon accueille l’exposition "Nature Incognito, la face cachée des villes". La séquence dédiée à la biodiversité des sols urbains a bénéficié de l’expertise scientifique de Pierre-Alain Maron (UMR Agroécologie).La ville y est évoquée en tant que milieu "naturel", avec ses caractéristiques propres, la diversité des espèces qui y vivent, les adaptations au milieu urbain, etc. à partir d'études précises sur la faune et la flore menées dans les agglomérations. Immeubles, trottoirs, parcs et jardins... Venez découvrir une vie grouillante constituée de millions d’espèces sauvages, animales ou végé…
Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with IceCube
2012
We present the first results in the search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the IceCube detector, a subsurface neutrino telescope located in the South Polar ice cap containing a volume of 1 km$^{3}$. This analysis searches data taken on the partially completed detector during 2007 when roughly 0.2 km$^{3}$ of ice was instrumented. The lack of candidate events leads to an upper limit on the flux of relativistic magnetic monopoles of $\Phi_{\mathrm{90%C.L.}}\sim 3\e{-18}\fluxunits$ for $\beta\geq0.8$. This is a factor of 4 improvement over the previous best experimental flux limits up to a Lorentz boost $\gamma$ below $10^{7}$. This result is then interpreted for a wide range of mass …
Automatic landmark detection and 3D Face data extraction
2017
Abstract This paper contributes to 3D facial synthesis by presenting a novel method for parameterization using Landmark Point detection. The approach presented aims at improving facial recognition even in varying facial expressions, and missing data in 3D facial models. As such, the prime objective was to develop an automatically embedded process that can detect any frontal face in 3D face recognition systems, with face segmentation and surface curvature information. Using the hybrid interpolation method, experiments on facial landmarks were performed on 4950 images from Face Recognition Grand Challenge database (FRGC). Distinctive facial landmarks from the nose–tips, Limits mouth and two e…
Masculinidad(es), diversidad(es) y género en la literatura infantil: un caso práctico
2022
Las masculinidades no hegemónicas ocupan cada vez más los espacios de reflexión, de diálogo, de información, de producción de conocimiento y, en definitiva, de la vida en nuestras sociedades. Se trata de un proceso necesario y que quizá llega con retraso, pero esta generalización de la necesidad de articular formas de vivir la masculinidad alejadas de esquemas cerrados y tóxicos es sin duda un soplo de esperanza para el conjunto de la sociedad, y también para todas aquellas personas que trabajan en favor de la igualdad desde todos los ámbitos del conocimiento y de la acción social (De Stefano, 2020). Planteamos en este trabajo la necesidad de llevar a las aulas esta sensibilidad, de maner…
The Blind Bard and the Unflagging Hierarch: Memories of War and Self-Representations in Fascist Italy
2013
The aim of this paper is to study two different and conflicting memories of the Great War developed in fascist Italy. In particular, an attempt will be made to focus on the cases of Carlo Delcroix and Roberto Farinacci. They were both born in 1890’s and took part in the war, during which Delcroix was severely mutilated. Alongside the few traits they had in common, many differences divided their political lives. Farinacci soon joined Fascism, became one of the leaders of the radical wing and, in the second half of 1930s, supported the alliance with Nazi Germany. Delcroix, who led one of the most important veterans associations, defined himself in the public debate mainly as a war invalid and…
