Investment and growth in Europe during the Golden Age
2009
During the ‘Golden Age’, the high investment rates reached by the European countries have been considered crucial in explaining growth. The literature about the Golden Age has emphasized supply-side explanations based on structural change, the reconstruction effort and the catch-up hypothesis, but also demand-side explanations focused on the effects of demand stability for promoting high rates of investment. In this article we have focused our attention on the evolution of the user cost of capital for explaining the high rates of investment. Our hypothesis is that the increase in investment rates was propelled by the decline in the user cost of capital, the consequence largely of the drop i…

Purpose This study assessed the prevalence of physical and cognitive doping in recreational triathletes with two different randomized response models, that is, the Cheater Detection Model (CDM) and the Unrelated Question Model (UQM). Since both models have been employed in assessing doping, the major objective of this study was to investigate whether the estimates of these two models converge. Material and Methods An anonymous questionnaire was distributed to 2,967 athletes at two triathlon events (Frankfurt and Wiesbaden, Germany). Doping behavior was assessed either with the CDM (Frankfurt sample, one Wiesbaden subsample) or the UQM (one Wiesbaden subsample). A generalized likelihood-rati…

Expansión de la temporalidad y erosión de la relación de empleo estándar en España: ¿La irrupción de un nuevo paradigma de relación de empleo?
2018
Desde la década de los ochenta el mercado de trabajo español ha venido caracterizado por la persistencia de unas tasas muy altas de temporalidad hasta convertirse este en un problema crónico de la sociedad española, que, además, no ha tenido -en cuanto a magnitud- parangón en el resto de países de la UE. Las diferentes fórmulas de contratación temporal creadas e incentivadas por la vía normativa en un proceso de “reforma laboral permanente” se han convertido, en conjunción con otros factores entre los que destaca la utilización empresarial de los contratos temporales en el límite de la legislación, cuando no en claro fraude de ley, en una efectiva vía para la segmentación laboral y una clar…
Development and Study of a Micromegas Pad-Detector for High Rate Applications
2015
In this paper, the design and the performance of two prototype detectors based on Micromegas technology with a pad readout geometry is discussed. In addition, two alternative implementations of a spark-resistent protection layer on top of the readout pads have been tested to optimize the charge-up behavior of the detector under high rates. The prototype detectors consist of 500 pads with a size of 5x4 mm, each connected to one independent readout channel, and cover an active area of 10x10 cm. The design of these prototypes and its associated readout infrastructure was developed in such a way that it can be easily adapted for large-size detector concepts.
Propuestas para un enfoque transdiagnóstico de los trastornos mentales y del comportamiento: Evidencia, utilidad y limitaciones = Proposals for a tra…
2012
The high rates of comorbidity and cross-sectional covariation between disorders are oneof the main limitations of current psychiatric diagnostic approaches, which moreover are based oncategories defined by clinical features rather than assumptions about etiology. These limitations areespecially manifest as regards anxiety and depressive disorders, and also are evident in eating disorders.The accumulating evidence on symptom overlap has led several authors to suggest the existenceof common and shared pathology dimensions across anxiety and depressive disorders,postulating a transdiagnostic approach to these disorders. At the same time, transdiagnostic treatmentsfor emotional disorders have b…
Prognostic value of PCR, IL-6 and IL-10 serum levels in determining postoperative complications after geriatric surgery in diabetic patients
2010
Background The onset of postoperative septic complications has been associated to serum levels of interleukin (IL) IL-6 and IL-10. [1,2]. We have extrapolated a diabetic group from a previous study to evaluate pre and postoperative profiles of some inflammatory markers (IL-6 , IL-10 and CRP). We related the data obtained to the onset of postoperative complications. Diabetic patients have been selected because of their high rate of post-operative complications, especially surgical wound infection.
Perfil sociodemográfico asociado a la ideación suicida de las personas transexuales
2020
Las personas transexuales experimentan tasas extremadamente altas de conductas suicidas. Sin embargo, aunque la ideación suicida se considera un precursor importante de intento de suicidio, se ha prestado poca atención a esta problemática y al perfil sociodemográfico de este colectivo. Así, nos proponemos identificar la prevalencia de ideación suicida en una muestra de pacientes transexuales y explorar su perfil sociodemográfico. Para ello, se recogió información sociodemográfica de 172 transexuales (58.7% mujeres transexuales, 41.3% hombres transexuales) de entre 18 y 61 años que acudieron a la Unidad de Trastornos de Identidad de Género del Complejo Hospitalario Carlos Haya. Los resultado…
ATLAS TileCal Read Out Driver production
2007
The production tests of the 38 ATLAS TileCal Read Out Drivers (RODs) are presented in this paper. The hardware specifications and firmware functionality of the RODs modules, the test-bench and the test procedure to qualify the boards are described. Finally the performance results, the temperature studies and high rate tests are shown and discussed.
Formación y orientación para el emprendimiento. lo que dicen la bibliometría y los emprendedores noveles
2019
RESUMENEl actual contexto socioeconómico obliga a realizar una revisión profunda del sentido del trabajo en la población. En momentos de escasez de oportunidades laborales y de redefinición del sentido y el significado del trabajo muchas personas consideran la opción del autoempleo como alternativa al desempleo y la precariedad laboral. Sin embargo, informes oficiales muestran altas tasas de abandono de los proyectos empresariales en sus primeros años. Con la intención de conocer las razones de esta situación, se centra la atención en analizar el papel que juega la orientación profesional en las fases iniciales del emprendimiento para favorecer una reflexión profunda sobre los motivos y las…
