Multidimensional prognostic index and the risk of fractures: an 8-year longitudinal cohort study in the Osteoarthritis Initiative
2021
Abstract Summary In this longitudinal study, with a follow-up of 8 years, multidimensional prognostic index (MPI), a product of the comprehensive geriatric assessment, significantly predicted the onset of fractures in older people affected by knee osteoarthritis. Purpose Frailty may be associated with higher fracture risk, but limited research has been carried out using a multidimensional approach to frailty assessment and diagnosis. The present research aimed to investigate whether the MPI, based on comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), is associated with the risk of fractures in the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) study. Methods Community-dwellers affected by knee OA or at high risk f…
Semi-terminal continua in homogeneous spaces
2016
A semi-terminal continuum Y in a space X is defined by the condition that no two disjoint subcontinua of X intersect both Y and X-Y. Though numerous obvious examples of such continua can be found in arcs, trees and tree-like continua, these examples are related to the non-homogeneity of the space, and having semi-terminal continua in a homogeneous continuum is counter-intuitive. Recently, a large collection of homogeneous spaces with semi-terminal, non-terminal subcontinua has been found. This paper is devoted to studying these spaces and the general structure of homogeneous continua related to the presence of semi-terminal subcontinua.
Utebarnehager – et sted for demokratisk praksis?
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Nordisk barnehageforskning. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.nordiskbarnehageforskning.no/ Open access The questions in the title is posed to discuss how an outdoor kindergarten space is contextualized and understood by those who are staying there.

The activities the children participate in and the employees expressed attitudes and practices are part of different discourses, which give certain limits or possibilities for what is going on at the Hut, and thus influenc…

An analytical review of destination competitiveness´ indicators
2015
The role of indicators in assisting tourism planners and decision-makers in evaluating performances, setting targets and anticipating future scenarios has been widely acknowledged by scholars. The purpose of this study is to provide an evaluation of existing composite indicators of tourism destination competitiveness (TDC) and propose a statistical toolbox/protocol to assess their effectiveness in empirical evaluations. We built the study’s protocol by enriching the OECD technical guidelines to build composite indicators. The protocol contains now 15 criteria used to examine the reviewed indicators, among these two useful quality measures. Ten studies were identified as providing a composit…
Las agencias de calificación y la deuda pública en la Comunidad Valenciana
2020
Resumen El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la influencia que han tenido los mayores niveles de endeudamiento público sobre los ratings emitidos por las agencias de calificación para la Comunidad Valenciana. La acumulación de déficits junto con el estallido de la burbuja inmobiliaria terminó por afectar de manera negativa a la contabilidad pública. Asimismo, los recursos transferidos a través del sistema de financiación tampoco ayudaron a revertir la insuficiencia de ingresos para la administración valenciana. Las restricciones presupuestarias fueron reflejadas de inmediato por las agencias de calificación a través de una reducción en sus ratings, generando dificultades para obten…
A BRIEF ANALYSIS ON DEVELOPMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS – CONSIDERING THE WORLD’S TOP TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS
2012
Development represents a strategic goal for every country of the world. But it also is a “complicated issue”, given the multitude of (micro and macro economic) approaches that academics and strategists have proposed for development. By this paper we consider competitiveness as measure and indicator of development – based on World Economic Forum researches and findings. This kind of approach allows us to make some (time - and space - based) comparisons – at country level and to identify some key figures – at industry level – of the world’s top transnational corporations (ranked by UNCTAD) that can be valorised by countries (and TNCs as well) on their journey through economic development and …
