Interactions of Societal Actors and Local Government in Institutionalized Governance Arrangements: The Book’s Scope and Content
2020
The chapter sets the stage for a comparative analysis of institutionalized governance networks grouping local governments and individual and collective or corporate societal actors unfolding at the municipal, sub-municipal and inter-municipal level. It details the premises for analyzing these networks with an emphasis on organized interests and interest intermediation and their relationship with the notion of democracy. It then reviews existing literature on the relationship between local governments and societal actors at two different levels. With reference to the municipal (micro) level, it looks at interest theory, the community power debate and the local governance approach. With refer…
Induction of rapid and reversible cytokeratin filament network remodeling by inhibition of tyrosine phosphatases
2002
The cytokeratin filament network is intrinsically dynamic, continuously exchanging subunits over its entire surface, while conferring structural stability on epithelial cells. However, it is not known how cytokeratin filaments are remodeled in situations where the network is temporarily and spatially restricted. Using the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor orthovanadate we observed rapid and reversible restructuring in living cells, which may provide the basis for such dynamics. By examining cells stably expressing fluorescent cytokeratin chimeras, we found that cytokeratin filaments were broken down and then formed into granular aggregates within a few minutes of orthovanadate addition. After …
¿Por qué existen los bancos?
2004
Victor.E.Barrios@uv.es La incorporación reciente a la teoría bancaria contemporánea de las herramientas de análisis de las teorías de la agencia y de la economía de la información ha modificado nuestra visión tradicional del negocio bancario, ampliando las funciones que realizan estos intermediarios. El estudio de estas funciones y de las ventajas comparativas que poseen los bancos en el ejercicio de las mismas constituirá el eje central de nuestro trabajo. De los resultados de este análisis concluiremos que la existencia de los bancos se justifica porque estas entidades, a través de las funciones que realizan, permiten una mejor colocación de los recursos financieros, beneficiando a demand…
A model for the γN → ππN reaction
1996
We have studied the γN → ππN reaction using a model wich includes N, Δ(1232), N*(1440) and N*(1520) intermediate baryonic states and the ρ-meson as a intermediate ππ resonance. The model reproduces fairly well experimental cross sections below Eγ=800 MeV and invariant-mass distributions even at higher energies. One of the interesting findings of study is what the γN → N*(1520) → Δπ process is very important and interferes strongly with the dominant Δ-Kroll-Ruderman term to produce the experimental peak of the kross section.

El género Ulota Mohr en la Península Ibérica y una nueva visión del Complejo de U crispa (Hedw.) Brid. (Orthotrichaceae, Musci)
2015
La presente tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo general tratar de avanzar de una manera significativa en la taxonomía del género Ulota, sentando las bases para el estudio moderno de su diversidad. Para conseguirlo, primero se ha tratado de obtener una perspectiva general del género,centrada en el hemisferio norte aunque no restringida al mismo, mediante el estudio de más de 1.500 especímenes procedentes de numerosos herbarios (ALA, BCB, BM, BP, DUKE, FCO, FH, G, H, HIRO, LISU, MA, MAUAM, MHA, MO, MUB, NICH, NYBG, S, TU VIT, y herbarios personales de P. Boudier y D. Callaghan), así como de recolecciones realizadas ex profeso en diferentes partes del mundo por el equipo de trabajo (Turquía, Pe…
Light-induced resistance of the keratin network to the filament-disrupting tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor orthovanadate.
2003
Epidermal keratinocytes respond to low-dose light irradiation by inducing signaling cascades that lead to long-term effects on gene transcription thereby protecting cells against damage. In contrast, little is known about immediate light-induced alterations of structural proteins. We have made the intriguing observation that light produces fundamental changes in the properties of the keratin filament system of cultured epidermoid A-431 cells. A short light exposure (1–10 min) causes the keratin cytoskeleton to become immediately resistant to the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor orthovanadate, which otherwise disrupts the keratin filament network completely in just a few minutes. This protecti…
Effect of Short-Term Temperature Change on Cercarial Release by Rhipidocotyle fennica (Trematoda, Bucephalidae) from the Freshwater Bivalve Host, Ano…
2015
Cercarial release from the first intermediate host is an important stage in the transmission of trematode parasites. Besides long-term (seasonal) temperature fluctuations, short-term temperature changes can also influence cercarial emergence. We tested the response of the bucephalid trematode, Rhipidocotyle fennica (R. fennica), acclimatized to 17 °C, to an abrupt temperature change. As the natural cercarial shedding by this parasite takes place annually during the warmest season, we expected a positive effect of temperature increase. Monitoring during one hour after the transfer from 17 °C to 20 °C revealed a significant increase in R. fennica cercarial release compared to the preceding on…
Sources of Financing for Social Entrepreneurship
2021
The following chapter discusses the main forms of financing for social entrepreneurship. The ultimate goal of social entrepreneurship is to create social value. To this end, financial means act as intermediaries to achieve this goal. These means must be aligned with the mission, vision, and values of the new venture. Therefore, there must be certain parallelism in the modus operandi of the entrepreneurial companies and the institutions supporting their launch in the market with economic resources. Since social entrepreneurship arises as a new paradigm to create the business, its financing sources represent a new method to obtain economic resources. Ethical banking is the core concept of the…
Crowdfunding and Social Entrepreneurship: Spotlight on Intermediaries
2019
This study contributes to the literature by describing how crowdfunding platforms that host social entrepreneurship projects build and preserve legitimacy. We study three intermediaries, analyzing the actions they take to ensure that creators and funders perceive crowdfunding as a trustworthy form of alternative finance. This study shows that the legitimacy that funders ascribe to a project&rsquo
