Xanastur (brachiopoda, stringocephalacea) nomen novum pro Xana García-Alcalde, 1972 (non Xana kurdjumov, 1917, hymenoptera, hexapoda)

2021

Garcia-Alcalde (1972) proposed the new genus Xana (type species Xana bubo Garcia-Alcalde, 1972) for a terebratulid brachiopod included in the superfamily Stringocephalacea from the Lower Devonian of the Cantabrian Mountains (Northwestern Spain). In an email message sent on April 3, 2018, the entomologist Dr. Eduardo I. Faundez, from the Patagonia Institute, Magallanes University, Chile, warned the author that Xana was a name previously used by Kurdjumov (1917) for a hymenopteran genus. Xana Garcia-Alcalde, 1972 would be so a later homonym of Xana Kurdjumov, 1917. In accordance with articles 52.3, 52.4, 53.2, 60.3 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) (2000), it is prop…

Validating Test Score Interpretations by Cross-National Comparison

2015

Cross-national assessment of students’ competences in higher education is becoming increasingly important in many disciplines including economics but there are few available instruments that meet psychological standards for assessing students’ economic competence in higher education (HE). One of them is the internationally valid Test of Understanding in College Economics (TUCE), which has been adapted and employed successfully in HE systems in various countries, but the test results have seldom been used for international comparisons of students’ Economic Content Knowledge (ECK). Here, we compare the German and the Japanese test adaptations of the TUCE with reference to the American origin…

An International Comparison of Skills, Traits and Job Mobility

2019

Making use of an international survey that directly assesses the cognitive skills of the adult population, I document systematic differences in the effect of skills on job mobility across the 37 countries in the sample. While economic growth is associated with relatively higher job mobility among skilled workers, the prevalence of information and communication technology (ICT) in the workplace is associated with relatively lower job mobility. The documented patterns are in line with Schumpeterian growth models of creative destruction in which skilled workers transition to jobs with advanced technologies more easily.

García & Cernadas (eds.), Reginae Iberia: El Poder Regio Femenino en Los Reinos Medievales Peninsulares (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 2015)

2017

The volume "Reginae Iberia" is a compilation of some of the papers presented at the International Congress on Queens and Infantas in Medieval Iberian Kingdoms, held in Santiago de Compostela from the 21 st to 23 rd May 2014. The editors of this volume, Miguel Garcia and Silvia Cernadas, selected a total of 12 articles, which despite focussing on very different topics, all served to emphasise a shared central idea. With these articles, the editors aimed to present a range of new and complementary readings on the Iberian monarchy, whilst highlighting the leading role of women at the heart of these houses and challenging the perception that they served purely for decorative or reproductive pur…

La educación para la promoción de los derechos humanos de la tercera generación

2008

The paper deals with the ways to promote the third generation human rights through education. It underlines the evolutionary dynamism of human rights and the necessity to promote a culture based on their recognition. Solidarity is analysed as the value which specify this generation of rights. Then the author defends the rights to a healthy environment, to peoples’ development, and to peace, as key components of any international political community or local communities aiming to meet the requirements of human dignity. Finally, he proposes some pedagogical practices to help the students to become conscious and responsible citizens, so they have the competence to ask to individuals and groups…

FIRST experiment: Fragmentation of Ions Relevant for Space and Therapy

2013

International audience; Nuclear fragmentation processes are relevant in different fields of basic research and applied physics and are of particular interest for tumor therapy and for space radiation protection applications. The FIRST (Fragmentation of Ions Relevant for Space and Therapy) experiment at SIS accelerator of GSI laboratory in Darmstadt, has been designed for the measurement of different ions fragmentation cross sections at different energies between 100 and 1000 MeV/nucleon. The experiment is performed by an international collaboration made of institutions from Germany, France, Italy and Spain. The experimental apparatus is partly based on an already existing setup made of the …

Problemi di giurisdizione nel contrasto al traffico di migranti via mare

2018

I trafficanti di esseri umani si avvalgono con sempre più insistenza di ben collaudati protocolli operativi. Questi ultimi consentono loro di sottrarsi alla giurisdizione penale italiana che non si radica qualora – in ossequio ai criteri di cui all’art. 6 c.p.ed in conformità alla Convenzione sull’Alto Mare– l’azione illecita avvenga in acque internazionali.Così, premesse alcune linee concettuali sui limiti spaziali alla efficacia della legge penale, l’indagine si sofferma sulla soluzione ermeneutica offerta dallaCassazione che, apparentemente in modo sbrigativo e per esigenze di effettività della risposta punitiva, ha fatto ricorso alla controversa figura dell’autore mediato per sanzionare condott…
