Managing information security risks during new technology adoption
2012
Author's version of an article in the journal: Computers and Security. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cose.2012.09.001 In the present study, we draw on previous system dynamics research on operational transition and change of vulnerability to investigate the role of incident response capability in controlling the severity of incidents during the adoption of new technology. Toward this end, we build a system dynamics model using the Norwegian Oil and Gas Industry as the context. The Norwegian Oil and Gas Industry has started to adopt new information communication technology to connect its offshore platforms, onshore control centers, and suppliers. In oil co…
Shall we follow? Impact of reputation concern on information security managers’ investment decisions
2020
Information security (infosec) is important for organizations. While budgeting for infosec is a crucial resource allocation decision, infosec managers may choose to follow other fellow experts’ recommendations or baseline practices. The present paper uses reputational herding theory to explain the decision made by infosec managers to use a “let's follow others” strategy in this context. Based on a sample of 106 organizations in Finland, we find that infosec managers’ ability to accurately predict the benefit of infosec investment, as well as their reputations, have significant effects on motivating them to discount their own information. Infosec managers’ discounting of their own informatio…
Innovación educativa a través de la realidad virtual y el paisaje sonoro
2019
Se presentan los resultados de una investigación dirigida a la formación del profesorado en el marco de la Red de innovación educativa L’Hort/Ieducarts2.0 (UV-SFPIE_GER17-588805), de la Universitat de València, cuya finalidad es aproximar al alumnado al estudio del paisaje sonoro utilizando la realidad virtual. Mediante la creación y recreación de paisajes virtuales se conecta el medio físico con la percepción sensorial y emocional integrando las áreas científicas y musicales y fomentando la creatividad y la adquisición de las competencias clave. Para ello, se elaboran materiales didácticos basados en la indagación y el juego como medio de adquisición de experiencias sensoriales a partir de…
Inversión en Investigación, Desarrollo, Maquinaria y Equipo: Desempeño de la Industria Panificadora
2020
La inversión en actividades de investigación y desarrollo, maquinaria, equipo que permiten la construcción de procesos de innovación en el sector panificador han demostrado mejorar notablemente el desempeño corporativo. En la presente investigación se analizan estas inversiones, en 68 organizaciones del sector panificador, descubriendo el efecto de estas inversiones en investigación y desarrollo, así como en tecnología asociada a maquinaria y equipos; logrando reconocer el impacto positivo para el sector panificador de ambas inversiones, especialmente en una industria con importantes barreras a la innovación y un sistema productivo tradicional. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la importan…
La colaboración interinstitucional en la producción científica española en Enfermería: análisis de redes sociales
2013
[EN]: [Objective]: The objectives of this paper are to analyze the Spanish scientific production in nursing, define its temporal evolution, its geographical and institutional distribution, and observe the interinstitutional collaboration. [Method]: We analyze a comprehensive sample of Spanish scientific production in the nursing area extracted from the multidisciplinary database SciVerse Scopus. [Results]: The nursing scientific production grows along time. The collaboration rate is 3.7 authors per paper and 61% of the authors only publish one paper. Barcelona and Madrid are the provinces with highest number of authors. Most belong to the hospitalary environment, followed closely by authors…
Educación científica basada en pruebas
2020
El sistema educativo es muy grande y, por eso, hay mucha resistencia a los cambios en la práctica educativa, debido a que los profesores están aislados en sus aulas y no forman grupos de investigación e innovación, lo que dificulta que los cambios se propaguen; y a que los profesores siguen la tradición ¿repiten lo que hicieron con ellos en su larga época de estudiantes¿, o toman sus decisiones por ensayo y error. Frente a esto ¿es posible una educación científica basada en pruebas? Nuestra respuesta, quizá optimista, es afirmativa.
Evolution formalisms of Einstein equations: Numerical and Geometrical Issues
2009
The topic treated along this thesis is the theoretical and numerical study of formalisms of Einstein equations, with the final aim of applications to black holes and gravitational waves. The General Relativity theory of Einstein (1915) postulated that light and trajectories of all particles are curved by the geometry of spacetime. Schwarzschild a few months later and Kerr in 1963 found solutions which describe non-rotating and rotating black holes. From an astrophysical point of view, a stellar black hole can be seen as the final result of some kind of collapse of massive stars or merger of compact binaries objects. One of the predicted consequences of General Relativity, not detected yet, …
Understanding german fdi in latin america and asia: a comparison of glm estimators
2020
The growth of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in developing countries over the last decade has attracted an intense academic and policy-oriented interest for its determinants. Despite the gravity model being considered a useful tool to approximate bilateral FDI flows, the literature has seen a growing debate in relation to its econometric specification, so that which is the best estimator for the gravity equation is far from conclusive. This paper examines the determinants of German outward FDI in Latin America and Asia for the period 1996-2012 by evaluating the performance of alternative Generalized Linear Model (GLM) estimators. Our findings indicate that Negative Binomial Pseudo Maximum …
The Logic of Gift: Inspiring behavior in organizations beyond the limits of duty and exchange
2016
[EN] Giving without the expectation of reward is difficult to understand in organizational contexts. In opposition to a logic based on self-interest or a sense of duty, a "logic of gift" has been proposed as a way to understand the phenomenon of free, unconditional giving. However, the rationale behind, and effects of, this logic have been under-explored. This paper responds by first clarifying the three logics of action¿the logic of exchange, the logic of duty, and the logic of gift¿and then explains how their balanced integration promises to enhance organizational life and outcomes. Having explicated the unique character and contributions of the logic of gift, the paper further suggests p…
