Proyecto: cámara de conservación de libros para la Biblioteca Histórica de la Universitat de València
2017
Las dificultades para conseguir unas condiciones ambientales óptimas para la conservación de nuestro patrimonio bibliográfico y el elevado consumo energético necesario para mantenerlas han sido algunas de las premisas que nos han llevado a la proyección y realización de esta cámara de conservación. En ella se ha creado un espacio libre de influencia exterior que facilita la obtención de un clima adecuado y estable, con un consumo mínimo de energía, en el que se controlan los principales factores de degradación ambiental: temperatura y humedad precisas y estables, así como un control minucioso de la contaminación atmosférica y biológica; todo ello dirigido a aumentar la esperanza de vida de …
Corporate entrepreneurship and governance: Mergers and acquisitions in Europe
2022
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are a form of corporate entrepreneurship involving strategic decisions that require discussion and approval by the board of directors of the acquiring firm. We focus on board attributes to analyze the entrepreneurial function of the board of directors and its involvement in corporate entrepreneurship. Building on different theories (agency theory, resource dependence theory, stewardship theory, and stakeholder theory), we examine whether board composition affects the number of acquisitions, the risk involved in bids, and the creation of value for the acquirer's shareholders. For a sample of European firms over the period 2002 to 2020, we find that board size a…
Innovations in Corporate Governance and Performance Management
2018
In recent years, both corporate governance and performance management have been subject to significant forces for change: externally (as a reaction to changing regulatory requirements around the world) and internally (new managerial practices and initiatives inside enterprises). These emerging trends affect all enterprises from all sectors whether they are historically subject to formal external and government regulation (such as the financial services sector or healthcare), listing requirements (public companies and multinational companies) or informally structured family businesses and SMEs where wider groups of stakeholders are beginning to become active. For all enterprises changes in t…
Teoría de la educación : revista interuniversitaria
2014
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave también en inglés y francés En un intento por analizar en profundidad la contribución de John Elliott al campo de los estudios curriculares, se comienza situando el trabajo de este pedagogo en el contexto de los debates ideológicos fundamentales del siglo XX, cuyas consecuencias determinaron el campo de las ciencias humanas y sociales. El posicionamiento de Elliott en esta encrucijada ideológica se define como «liberal», a causa de la manera en la que conectó su propia filosofía de la educación con la esfera de la ética y de los medios de la educación, en oposición a perspectivas finalistas de la educación, como la cons…

Il presente saggio offre un momento di riflessione critica sul dettaglio architettonico indagandone le potenzialità espressive e comunicative quando restituisce la prima idea del progettista o quando, come elemento o componente, concorre alla struttura-zione e alla caratterizzazione dell’opera.

Formal use of the term Creative Industries is quite recent (1994), marking the digital e…

2012
The paper analyses the Italian National Plan for Training the English Teachers at Primary Schools. This Plan was promoted by the Italian Ministry of Education to cope with the last and most recent educational reform that introduced English as a school subject into the curriculum at primary schools. A panel of experts worked to a national training plan for English primary teachers which will soon be tested. In this paper we will deal with three main topics: 1) the teachers’ awareness of their blended professional training, 2) the theoretical foundations underpinning this new educational challenge, 3) the new teaching models involving integrated technology that the Plan for Training the Engli…
Innovazione finanziaria e instabilità: il trasferimento del rischio di credito
2011
This paper aims to point out the role of credit risk transfer market in the financial system. The advent of a credit risk market has profoundly altered the role of banking firms into one of asset originator and asset distributor rather than the asset holder. The traditional economics of banking has changed in an important way and the new business model has evolved as a result of financial innovation. The main results of the paper are that the lending process disintegration and the development of the credit risk transfer market represent a key element in the recent financial risis. Incentive structures faced by various agents in the financial intermediation chain also became dysfunctional. B…
How do different network positions affect crowd members' success in crowdsourcing challenges?
2023
In the crowdsourcing challenges, crowd members can interact with each other by, for example, chatting, exchanging feedback, providing advice, discussing, and commenting on ideas. These social interactions shape a network structure, which is a set of social relationships developed by crowd members. This study aims at investigating how occupying diverse network positions within a crowdsourcing challenge network increases the members' likelihood to succeed in a competition. Leveraging prior literature on social networks and crowdsourcing research, we theorize how central and structural hole network positions influence the crowd members' likelihood of winning crowdsourcing challenges by leverag…
