Emerging Market Contagion Under Geopolitical Uncertainty
2019
We find that 10 emerging stock markets have high risk of contagion on the regional level but lower spillover with respect to the global markets, implying a potential for diversification benefits between emerging and global markets. Regional market integration seems to have been caused by trade integration, which has a policy implication for trade agreements’ systemic risk effects. We find that the geopolitical risk has no impact on either the return, or volatility spillovers. However, the general stock market risk (VIX) is connected to individual market volatilities, while the oil market is largely receiving the spillovers from the other markets. peerReviewed
La calidad periodística en España según la percepción de los periodistas
2015
Este artículo expone los resultados de una investigación sobre la percepción que tienen los periodistas españoles de la calidad periodística, teniendo en cuenta el contexto económico, tecnológico, empresarial, laboral y profesional. Los resultados de una encuesta, en la que participan 363 periodistas españoles con al menos tres años de experiencia en diferentes medios, ponen de manifiesto carencias relativas tanto a la relevancia y diversidad de los temas abordados como al acceso a las fuentes o el tratamiento y verificación de los datos, así como a las condiciones laborales o a los retos derivados de la adaptación a las nuevas tecnologías y a las imposiciones de la acuciante inmediatez.

APIS to extract information in social channels in educational context
2018
In this days the world is involved in the research and development of new resources, and methods that allow the use of new technologies fulfilling a goal that is the learning of education through the Web, thus using resources such as different APIs for different purposes. Taking into account the functionalities provided by the APIs, the objective was to obtain information about the different educational resources in the social channels of the Universidad Tecnica Particular de Loja (UTPL). The study of pervious APIs is a part of the project Use of Cloud Computing tools, Bodies of Knowledge and affective computing in the process of developing technological skills focused on problem solving of…
Prosthetic design and prototype development
2020
Abstract In recent years, there has been worldwide interest in improvement of the mobility of people with lower-limb amputations. Despite significant development of new technologies over the last decade, commercial below-knee and above-knee prostheses are still energetically passive devices. However, many locomotive functions, like walking up stairs and slopes, need significant power in the knee and ankle joints. The additional power for carrying out these previously mentioned activities needs to be achieved by means of external energy sources, which should be integral prosthetic components. This chapter presents preliminary investigations and development towards an active robotic prosthesi…
Strategic cyber threat intelligence : Building the situational picture with emerging technologies
2020
In 2019, e-criminals adopted new tactics to demand enormous ransoms from large organizations by using ransomware, a phenomenon known as “big game hunting.” Big game hunting is an excellent example of a sophisticated and coordinated modern cyber-attack that has a significant impact on the target. Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) increases the possibilities to detect and prevent cyber-attacks and gives defenders more time to act. CTI is a combination of incident response and traditional intelligence. Intelligence modifies raw data into information for decision-making and action. CTI consists of strategic, operational, or tactical intelligence on cyber threats. Security event monitoring, event-…
La Nueva Realidad Laboral y Empresarial. Los Nuevos Prestadores de Servicios y las Nuevas Tecnologías, Robotización, Digitalización, Inteligencia Art…
2018
Actualmente, la nueva realidad laboral y empresarial y los nuevos prestadores de servicios y las nuevas tecnologías, robotización, digitalización, inteligencia artificial han hecho que el ámbito de las relaciones laborales haya quedado trastocado dejando sin cobertura y en desprotección a un gran número de colectivos que prestan sus servicios mediante plataformas digitales y nuevas modalidades empresariales.
 La delimitación de las nuevas categorías de trabajadores impide la protección por el derecho del trabajo clásico, quedando éste, en entredicho, permitiendo el trabajo sin la cobertura del derecho laboral a un gran colectivo de trabajadores que prestan sus servicios de forma muy pr…
Management of Distribution Risks and Digital Transformation of Insurance Distribution—A Regulatory Gap in the IDD
2021
The Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) aims to regulate insurance distribution in the EU regardless of distribution channels and means. Although new technologies affect insurance distribution, the IDD does not explicitly regulate this digital transformation. Insurers and intermediaries must comply with detailed business conduct rules that aim to counteract distribution risks. However, the IDD exempts ancillary insurance intermediaries from its scope when they meet certain conditions. The article highlights the regulatory framework on insurance, requiring insurers and intermediaries to address distribution risks, and analyses how this exemption affects the management of distribution risk…
El poder financiero de los municipios y su marco constitucional
2017
La Constitución establece un marco para el ejercicio del poder financiero por parte de los distintos entes territoriales. Los Municipios, en aplicación de preceptos de la Carta Manga, dispondrán de autonomía y suficiencia financiera (art. 140 y 152 CE). Asimismo, y en aplicación del principio de competencia, los Entes Locales podrán desarrollar su potestad reglamentaria en las materias que le sean propias. Por todo ello, el presente trabajo tiene por objeto el análisis y valoración de la aplicación y eficacia que despliegan estos principios constitucionales en el ejercicio del poder financiero municipal y sus límites cuando confluyan con otras Administraciones The Constitution establishes a…
Are robots in rich countries a threat for employment in emerging economies?
2022
The effects of robotization on labor market outcomes have been widely investigated within developed countries. Conversely, few studies have tried to assess how automation in advanced economies affects less industrialized countries. In this work, we analyze the impact of robotization in a group of developed European countries (EU15) on employment dynamics in a country-industry panel data of emerging markets. Our findings indicate that EU15 robotization is associated with a decline of sectoral employment in emerging economies, especially in Asia, tradable and more robotized industries. Ultimately, a small set of major European countries - namely, Germany, Italy, Denmark and United Kingdom - s…
Electricity demand response schemes in China: Pilot study and future outlook
2021
Abstract Electricity demand response (DR) improves the overall energy management efficiency and allows for the integration of large-scale renewable energy into the power grid through interactive management and control of the supply and demand sides. However, in China and other emerging countries (e.g., Japan and Australia) with DR programs, the DR market mechanism is not well-established. This is particularly the situation in countries where the state power system is not freely open to participate in the DR market. Previous research has proven that considerable DR resources are largely existing in the demand side; however, the dearth of a market mechanism hinders the development of DR. Henc…
