Modelli ed evoulzione delle politiche
2008
Questo contributo propone alcune riflessioni utili all’inquadramento ed alla valutazione delle politiche a sostegno dell’innovazione. L’attenzione viene posta, in particolare, sull’evoluzione dello scenario nel quale opera l’impresa innovativa, sul ruolo di alcune tipologie di agglomerazioni emerse in questo nuovo scenario, quali le reti per l’innovazione ed i distretti tecnologici, sui sistemi territoriali innovativi nei quali i processi istituzionali hanno un ruolo sempre più importante, come nel caso dei sistemi d’innovazione nazionale e regionale, ed infine sulla questione dell’identificazione e della misurazione dei fattori chiave dell’innovazione utili per una valutazione delle politi…
On the trail of local welfare innovations in rural Finland
2019
Final Draft In Finland, the rural areas have been most affected by the developments threatening the survival of the welfare state as well as by conflicting efforts to save it. However, there are rural communities that have—as a response to the mainstream policy emphasizing economic efficiency and individual responsibility—developed innovative solutions to secure their welfare. Based on a case study focusing on two of such communities, these local welfare innovations are a result from a combination of external causes and local resources including the sense of community and a diverse enough community structure. The authors argue that in the context of welfare policy, the promotion of local we…
Evolución del tratamiento jurisprudencial del control de transparencia en contratos de préstamo hipotecario
2022
Las condiciones generales de la contratación incorporadas en los contratos de préstamo hipotecario, celebrados entre entidades financiera y consumidores, han sido objeto de estudio por los tribunales naciones y por el TJUE con el fin de controlar prácticas abusivas por parte de los profesionales. El obligado control de transparencia es el mecanismo que garantiza la supresión de cláusulas abusivas en los contratos de adhesión. En consecuencia, observamos una jurisprudencia cambiante del Tribunal Supremo sobre cómo interpretar los principios generales fijados en la Directiva 93/13/ CEE para declarar la abusividad de las cláusulas, distanciándose en la actualidad de la doctrina comunitaria, as…
A cognitive/decision-making model of evaluation for ethical urban and building renewal
2009
Creativity is a strategic factor not only in the production sector, but also for planning, development and management of the city. The physical shape of the city is determined by the plan of buildings and settlements as a whole. Nevertheless, the functional and aesthetical criteria alone are inadequate, if you adopt the view of sustainability. In particular, from biological, ecological and economic points of view, the shape of the sustainable city is the result of a process of creative choice of traditional and innovative forms, materials and technologies that contribute to the quality of buildings and urban ambient. This principle applies a fortiori in cities interested by not-negligible p…
User Experience as a Challenge for Cognitive Psychology and Ergonomics
2011
Research on human–technology interaction has been concerned with assessing the experience of interacting with technology that is already in the process of being designed. However, the challenge nowadays is to help industry find out what technology should be designed. In this new context, cognitive psychology and ergonomics should be able to assist the innovation process through an analysis of the actions that constitute human life and the role that technology plays in these actions. In this paper, we present our approach to the definition of the role of cognitive psychologists and cognitive ergonomists in the innovation process. We aim to define new concepts and methodologies that would hel…
Can Money buy Love? : The Impact of the Cohesion Policy of the European Union on European Identity
2019
Master's thesis Innovative governance and public management ME523 - University of Agder 2019 This Master thesis explores the relationship between Cohesion policies of the EU and European identity. After first describing the history and context of Cohesion policies of the EU, the literature on European identity studies is reviewed. This discussion develops an economic utilitarian argument, that citizens in Europe develop their identification with the EU partly on rational considerations, and that the added quality of life provided by investments of the EU would positively influence their European identity. This effect is expected to be different throughout European regions.The hypothesesare …
Colector de agua solar. Impulsando un nuevo modelo de consumo para un presente y un futuro sostenible
2014
La producción de energía mediante el uso indiscriminado de los recursos naturales no renovables como el carbón, el petróleo y el gas natural provoca una situación de agotamiento de dichos recursos con inevitables consecuencias para el medio ambiente. Son numerosas las formas de contaminación y los problemas ambientales que los seres humanos estamos provocando desde los inicios de la revolución industrial y, muy en particular, desde la segunda mitad del siglo pasado. Una contaminación sin fronteras asociada a todas las actividades humanas y que, junto a otros graves problemas, está degradando todos los ecosistemas y contribuyendo a un cambio climático cuyas consecuencias estamos viviendo ya.…

Perceived service quality in postgraduate studies: an integrated perspective in the IMBA program
2011
This work proposes a comprehensive evaluation system for service quality in the International Master in Business Administration (iMBA) at Universitat de València. Going further than the current system for measuring service quality and considering students as stakeholders in the university in the context of relationship marketing, this present experience develops a process for evaluating service quality where the student designs the measurement instrument itself from an integral vision of the service s/he receives. The results suggest that students perceive the service experience as a multidimensional concept covering not only the academic experience, but also the quality of the facilities a…
