Deweyan Democracy, Neoliberalism, and Action Research
2019
This article aims to establish a line of continuity between John Dewey's democratic and educational ideals and the practice of action research, to justify that the latter affords an adequate means to enact Dewey's ideals against the destructive challenges that neoliberalism poses to democracy today. This aim involves three ideas that will be developed in three corresponding sections. After the Introduction, the first section analyzes at length the main tenets of Dewey's thoughts about democracy by emphasizing the role of the educational dimension. The article then approaches neoliberalism by focusing on one of its variants, New Public Management, and explains why the latter implies a direct…
Deliberatiivinen demokratia käytännössä : kanadalaisten kansalaiskeskusteluiden tarkastelua
2015
Tämä työ käsittelee deliberatiivisen demokratian teorioita erityisesti institutionalisoitujen kansalaiskokousten (citizens' assemblies) viitekehyksessä. Työssä tarkastellaan deliberatiivisen demokratian teorioita sen kahden pääsuuntauksen, John Rawlsin liberaalin konstitutionalismin ja Jürgen Habermasin kriittisen teorian kautta. Erityistä painoarvoa annetaan myös deliberatiivisen demokratian feministiselle kritiikille. Deliberatiivisen demokratian teorioista muodostetaan analyyttinen kriteeristö, jolla tarkastella deliberatiivisen demokratian mukaisia institutionaalisia kokeiluja. Esimerkkeinä institutionalisoiduista deliberatiivisista kansalaiskokouksista työssä tarkastell…
Comentarios a la ponencia del prof. Vives
2015
De los siete apartados en que el Prof. vives divide su artículo, sólo discrepo del apartado sexto, en el que discute la cuestión de fundamentación de los principios de justicia, dando por superados los elementos metafísicos de la filosofía política y del Derecho de Kant. Procederé haciendo primero una exposición de la teoría de la justicia de Rawls, centrándome en los temas kantianos de Rawls. Me referiré después al posible punto de discrepancia con la posición de Vives. Por último, acompañaré a Vives en su defensa del liberalismo.

Development of an lbuprofen-Releasing Biodegradable PLA/PGA Electrospun Scaffold for Tissue Regeneration
2009
Our aim was to develop a biodegradable fibrous dressing to act as a tissue guide for in situ wound repair while releasing Ibuprofen to reduce inflammation in wounds and reduce pain for patients on dressing changes. Dissolving the acid form of Ibuprofen (from 1% to 10% by weight) in the same solvent as 75% polylactide, 25% polyglycolide (PLGA) polymers gave uniformly loaded electrospun fibers which gave rapid release of drug within the first 8 h and then slower release over several days. Scaffolds with 10% Ibuprofen degraded within 6 days. The Ibuprofen released from these scaffolds significantly reduced the response of fibroblasts to major pro-inflammatory stimulators. Fibroblast attachment…
Colon-specific drug delivery: Influence of solution reticulation properties upon pectin beads performance.
2006
In this study, pectinate gel beads were produced by ionotropic gelation method with different solutions of cross-linking agents and ketoprofen was entrapped as model drug. The influence of these formulation parameters was investigated upon bead properties and upon their performance to target the colon. Zinc pectinate beads obtained with 10% of counter-ions solution at pH 1.6 exhibited the strongest gel network due to "egg-box" dimmer formation helped by hydrogen bonding. Furthermore the gel network formed at low pH was arranged in a compact three-fold conformation. Thus, this matrix structure in enteric capsules induced the lowest drug release in the upper gastro-intestinal tract (pH 1.2 fo…
Information quality life cycle in secondary use of EHR data
2021
Abstract The paper argues that existing research on information quality (IQ) mainly focuses on the primary use of electronic health record (EHR) data, whereas IQ in secondary use of EHR data needs further deliberation. The current view of IQ in a healthcare context is static. It assumes that once the EHR system generates the information product, individual users may act on the information based on their subjective perception of its quality. However, this view ignores the complexities of secondary use of EHR data, in which users are actively involved in (re)generating and communicating the information product. Thus, IQ does not remain static but keeps on transforming through active engagemen…
Goal-Oriented Development of BDI Agents: The PRACTIONIST Approach
2006
The representation of goals and the ability to reason about them play an important role in goal-oriented requirements analysis and modelling techniques, especially in agent-oriented software engineering, as goals are more stable than other abstractions (e.g. user stories). In PRACTIONIST, a framework for developing agent systems according to the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) model, goals play a central role. Thus, in this paper we describe the structure of the goal model in the PRACTIONIST framework and how agents use their goal model to reason about goals, desires, and intentions during their deliberation process and means-ends reasoning as well as while performing their activities.
JURISDICCIÓN, PROCESO, JUEZ EN EL SISTEMA DE LAS LIBERTADES CIVILES
2020
La tesis mantenida en este trabajo parte de la afi rmación de la “imparcialidad” del juez, puesto que “cualquiera” puede declarar el Derecho y restablecer el orden y la certeza quebrantados por la controversia, a excepción sólo de las partes. Así como de que el juez, para cumplir con su labor, tiene la obligación absoluta de conocer lo mejor posible los hechos, ya que en ellos reside, la norma que se quiere constatar y declarar, pero de esos hechos él no sabe nada. Únicamente las partes, conocedoras de los mismos, están en condiciones de suminitrárselos. Dejando a un lado la cuestión sobre el fi n del proceso —la restauración del derecho subjetivo, o bien del derecho objetivo, o incluso si …
