2015
La tesis que presento con el título “Desnutrición crónica infantil, daño social del cerebro y su impacto en la capacidad del adulto para expresar juicios morales. Una mirada desde la Neuroética” aborda uno de los problemas que ha acompañado al ser humano durante su evolución: la desnutrición y sus consecuencias, y lo hace desde una perspectiva basada en el desarrollo que las neurociencias, específicamente la neurociencia cognitiva, han tenido en las últimas décadas en el conocimiento del cerebro y su relación con la generación de los juicios morales. Parte de la hipótesis que la desnutrición crónica infantil produce daño social en el cerebro, lo que afectaría en la vida adulta la capacidad …

Ethical Climate as Social Norm: Impact on Judgements and Behavioral Intentions in the Workplace.
2021
We present a study that looks at the relationship between the ethical climate, considered as a set of social norms, and judgments and behaviors in the workplace. In this case we think that an ethical rule reflecting the climate is only actualized in conduct and/or decisions if the rule is applicable, is shared, and is the subject of social expectations. A total of 277 professionals responded to a questionnaire measuring the normativity of three ethical rules, socio-moral judgment, trust in supervisors, turnover intention, and discrimination as well as abusive supervision. The results confirm our hypothesis. This leads to a different view of how the ethical climate is measured and constructe…
La objeción de conciencia sanitaria en el ámbito penitenciario
2010
Lo mas coherente con la doctrina constitucional es concebir la objecion de conciencia como una manifestacion del derecho fundamental a la libertad ideologica del art. 16.1 CE (asumiendo, por tanto, la legitimidad de toda conducta objetora), pero entendida como un principio; es decir: cualquier conflicto entre el derecho fundamental del sujeto y el deber juridico que se rehusa debe ser resuelto por el juez realizando un juicio ponderativo de bienes y valores. Este derecho fundamental persiste y puede ser invocado y ejercido por reclusos y personal sanitario en el contexto penitenciario, frente a las previsiones de imposicion coactiva de tratamientos medico previstas por la LOGP y el RP, sin …

The Separating Role of Collateral Requirements in Credit Markets with Asymmetric Information
2001
In this paper we test Bester's (1985, 1987) prediction about the separating role of contracts that involve both interest rates and collateral requirements in credit markets. To test this prediction we use data from natural credit markets and controlled experiments. Using a sample of credits to small and medium size firms in Valencia, Spain, we relate two different types of contracts with the ex post risk type of the borrower and other relevant variables. We then design two incentive compatible contracts and analyze decisions under two different experimental treatments, one with moral hazard. Our empirical results confirm that borrowers of ex post lower risk choose contracts with higher coll…
Prevention of occupational injuries: moral hazard and complex agency relationships
2004
This paper exploits the results of agency theory with the aim of contributing a new viewpoint and a form for analysis of the current functioning of the occupational injury and disease section of the French Social Security system in its mission of providing incentives for prevention. After outlining the organization and specific features of insurance against occupational risks, an initial level of analysis highlights the presence of moral hazard in relations between insurer and company and between company and employee. A second level of analysis with the appeal to complex agency relationship models, multitask model and third-party model, is necessary to take into account the consequences for…
The role of punishment in the works of Adam Smith
2009
The reformation of criminal justice is one of the great themes in Enlightenment culture and concerned its main exponents from Montesquieu to Beccaria, Filangieri, Bentham. One of the traits of greater modernity in the theories worked out by juridical Enlightenment is the resort to the utilitarianinspired economic analysis. Adam Smith doesn't back out of this scientific and civil commitment, but his doctrine appears significantly different though contemporary to juridical Enlightenment, and is also based on economic argumentations. In this work we will look through the main writings which contain the Smithian thought in search of those parts dealing with the theme of punishment and its socia…

Spontaneous echo contrast caused by platelet and leukocyte aggregates?
2001
Background and Purpose —Spontaneous echocardiographic contrast (SEC) is correlated to clinical thromboembolic events. We sought to determine the origin of SEC by utilizing direct analysis of left atrial blood. Methods —We examined the blood of 13 patients with and 19 without SEC. Blood samples were taken from the femoral vein and artery and from the right and left atria after transseptal puncture. Samples were incubated with fluorescence-labeled antibodies directed against the platelet (CD41a-PE, CD42b-PE, and CD62p-FITC) and leukocyte membrane epitopes (CD45-APC and CD14-FITC). The expressed epitopes were analyzed by dual laser flow cytometry immediately after blood withdrawal. Results —I…
