P-matrix completions under weak symmetry assumptions
2000
An n-by-n matrix is called a Π-matrix if it is one of (weakly) sign-symmetric, positive, nonnegative P-matrix, (weakly) sign-symmetric, positive, nonnegative P0,1-matrix, or Fischer, or Koteljanskii matrix. In this paper, we are interested in Π-matrix completion problems, that is, when a partial Π-matrix has a Π-matrix completion. Here, we prove that a combinatorially symmetric partial positive P-matrix has a positive P-matrix completion if the graph of its specified entries is an n-cycle. In general, a combinatorially symmetric partial Π-matrix has a Π-matrix completion if the graph of its specified entries is a 1-chordal graph. This condition is also necessary for (weakly) sign-symmetric …
BENEFICIOS RELACIONALES, SATISFACCIÓN Y LEALTAD EN EL COMERCIO MINORISTA: UNA COMPARATIVA INTERSECTORIAL / RELATIONSHIP BENEFITS, SATISFACTION, AND L…
2009
En el contexto del marketing de relaciones, resulta de gran importancia para el establecimiento minorista identificar el tipo de beneficios de la relación que influye en mayor medida sobre sus resultados en términos de satisfacción del cliente y lealtad hacia el minorista, de manera que se garantice una relación continua y satisfactoria. Dichos beneficios pueden tener distinto peso en función del tipo de actividad llevada a cabo por el minorista. El presente trabajo pretende analizar empíricamente un modelo que refleje los distintos tipos de beneficios relacionales obtenidos por los clientes, así como los beneficios obtenidos por la organización en términos de lealtad del consumidor para cu…
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CITIZENS’ TRUST IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL GOVERNANCE
2021
The article analyses the relationship between citizens’ trust in local government institutions and participation in local governance. The research results have revealed that citizens’ trust in local government is still low and participation lacks activeness. Civic participation is more active than political participation. According to the research results, the main reasons of absence of participation in local governance are lack of information and knowledge about public participation, lack of information about participation opportunities, lack of communication and response to expressed opinion and suggestions. The results of quantitative research showed that participation and trust dimensio…
From Marketing Mix to e-Marketing Mix: a literature overview and classification
2009
The marketing mix paradigm, in its famous version of the 4Ps, went all the way through the evolution of marketing theory: from the marketing concept, through relationship marketing, to digital economy, being object of discussion both in academic literature and managerial practice. If it is a fact that the 4Ps marketing mix is a milestone of marketing theory, it is also true that the evolution of business contexts has created, in many fields, the need to review the "controllable factors" which form the marketing mix. The digital business represents the more recent of the business contexts and the one with the greater needs of differentiation of the mix. Throughout this evolutionary process, …
The construction of citizenship in initial teacher training of Early Childhood Education
2020
Los graves problemas sociales y ambientales de nuestro mundo exigen un modelo de educación para una ciudadanía global, participativa y crítica. Para ello es necesaria una formación del futuro profesorado como educadores en ciudadanía, desarrollando la concienciación en relación con esos problemas y las actitudes de compromiso social, con un modelo didáctico que propicie la construcción de dicho modelo de ciudadanía en su futuro alumnado. Sobre esta fundamentación, se desarrolla una investigación cualitativa, mediante entrevistas grupales, que analiza el proceso de construcción de la ciudadanía en estudiantes del grado de Maestro en Educación Infantil de la Universidad de Sevilla, en el marc…
Recreational fish feeding affects coastal fish behavior and increases frequency of predation on damselfish (Chromis chromis) nests
2006
Wildlife feeding has become an integral part of the range of activities offered to protected area visitors. In marine protected areas (MPAs), fish feeding may cause changes in the behavior, and thus the density and distribution, of coastal fish species. We evaluated spatial variability in human-positive fish behavior around the Ustica Island MPA (Italy) and the potential indirect effects of behavioral change on other species. Two mensurative experiments demonstrated that ca. 1/3 of the species present in fish-feeding areas exhibited human-positive behavior, losing instinctive fear in the presence of humans and encircling people in the water even when food was not provided. A manipulative ex…

The Post-Enlargement Migration Experience in the Baltic Labor Markets
2009
In this chapter, we use Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian LFS data (2002-2007) complemented with several other surveys to compare the profile of Baltic temporary workers abroad before and after EU accession with that of stayers and return migrants. Determinants of migration and return, as well as selection issues are discussed. Post-enlargement migrants from all three countries were significantly less educated than stayers. Other things equal, medium-educated workers were most likely to move after accession, and human capital became increasingly less pro-migration over time. Return migrants differ from all movers in many ways and, in particular, are more educated. Although brain drain was no…
Migrants’ economic integration : problematising economic citizenship
2021
Labour market policies to include migrants in their host societies through strategic integration activities usually relate host country belonging to labour market success, commodifying citizenship. Labour market success, however, is not “belonging;” raising the question of whether “economic citizenship” is a misnomer. National citizenships embed territorial, social and ethnic hierarchies in unequal ways. Migrants at the moment of their mobility are outside these national solidarities, and thus are commodified, with their rights depending on their labour market value. Access to national citizenship rights is an important structuring element in segmenting globalizing labour markets. peerRevie…
