The Fatou coordinate for parabolic Dulac germs
2017
We study the class of parabolic Dulac germs of hyperbolic polycycles. For such germs we give a constructive proof of the existence of a unique Fatou coordinate, admitting an asymptotic expansion in the power-iterated log scale.
Efficient GRASP+VND and GRASP+VNS metaheuristics for the traveling repairman problem
2011
Abstract: The traveling repairman problem is a customer-centric routing problem, in which the total waiting time of the customers is minimized, rather than the total travel time of a vehicle. To date, research on this problem has focused on exact algorithms and approximation methods. This paper presents the first metaheuristic approach for the traveling repairman problem.
Exploring Associations of Housing, Relocation, and Active and Healthy Aging in Sweden : Protocol for a Prospective Longitudinal Mixed Methods Study
2021
Background: While housing and neighborhood features have the potential to impact opportunities for active aging, there is a lack of knowledge related to how older people reason regarding their housing situation and how housing and fulfillment of relocation are associated with active and healthy aging. Objective: The objectives of Prospective RELOC-AGE are to study housing choices and relocation and explore effects on active and healthy aging among men and women aged 55 years and older in Sweden considering relocation. Methods: The estimated sample (2800) will include people aged 55 years and older being listed for relocation at either of two housing companies: a local public housing company…
¿Quién decide qué y cómo? el conflicto en torno a la participación ciudadana en el contexto del desarrollo de la iniciativa urbana: Cuenca-San Antón …
2018
This article describes the main results of an ethnographic study on citizen participation carried out in the context of the development of the Urban Initiative (2007-2015): Cuenca-Barrio de San Antón. Managed by the City Council of Cuenca and financed by the European Regional Development Funds (FEDER) under the Ministry of Economy and Finance at the Government of Spain The results of the research show how in the context of the application of neoliberal policies, citizen participation becomes the trigger for new conflicts between institutions and citizens. In this sense, it is worth noting how, in practice, institutions in their capacity as experts and not willing to dis-empower themselves, …
International Physical Activity and Built Environment Study of Adolescents : IPEN Adolescent design, protocol and measures
2021
IntroductionOnly international studies can provide the full variability of built environments and accurately estimate effect sizes of relations between contrasting environments and health-related outcomes. The aims of the International Physical Activity and Environment Study of Adolescents (IPEN Adolescent) are to estimate the strength, shape and generalisability of associations of the community environment (geographic information systems (GIS)-based and self-reported) with physical activity and sedentary behaviour (accelerometer-measured and self-reported) and weight status (normal/overweight/obese).Methods and analysisThe IPEN Adolescent observational, cross-sectional, multicountry study …
Hybridizing large neighborhood search and exact methods for generalized vehicle routing problems with time windows
2021
International audience; Delivery options are at the heart of the generalized vehicle routing problem with time windows (GVRPTW) allowing that customer requests are shipped to alternative delivery locations which can also have different time windows. Recently, the vehicle routing problem with delivery options was introduced into the scientific literature. It extends the GVRPTW by capacities of shared locations and by specifying service-level constraints defined by the customers' preferences for delivery options. The vehicle routing problem with delivery options also generalizes the vehicle routing problem with home roaming delivery locations and the vehicle routing problem with multiple time…
Multiple Theories of Change for innovation governance
2023
The Theory of Change approach aims to clarify the underlying logic of an intervention by first identifying the problem addressed and the desired outcome, and then backwards mapping the actions taken and the expected results and outcomes. In so doing, it aims to simplify the expression of intermediate goals and indicators and provide a common reference for the participants and stakeholders of the intervention itself. As such, it is similar to corporate ‘mission statements’ in that it aims to provide a single, unifying description of the what, why and how of an intervention. By framing the approach in terms of the ‘change’ required as a means of addressing a problem, Theory of Change is essen…
Eiropas Savienības un Azerbaidžānas attiecības Eiropas kaimiņattiecību politikas kontekstā
2019
Šajā pētījumā tiek izvērtētas Azerbaidžānas un Eiropas Savienības (ES) divpusējās attiecības. Pētījuma autore analizējusi šo attiecību daudzpusību, kas izpaužas tādās sfērās kā ekonomika, enerģētika, tirdzniecība un politika. Šis pētījums arī uzsver virkni ES pieņemtu politiku, kas saistītas ar Azerbaidžānu, tostarp Eiropas kaimiņattiecību politiku un Austrumu Partnerības programmu. Autore izmantojusi arī empīrisko analīzi, lai izvērtētu cik ciešas ir Azerbaidžānas un ES ekonomiskās un tirdzniecības saites. Ar teorētisku un analītisku pētījumu vērtēta Eiropas Kaimiņattiecību politikas rīcības plāna īstenošana Azerbaidžānā. Autore salīdzinājusi galvenos ekonomiskos statistikas datus starp Ei…
Pointwise k-Pseudo Metric Space
2021
In this paper, the concept of a k-(quasi) pseudo metric is generalized to the L-fuzzy case, called a pointwise k-(quasi) pseudo metric, which is considered to be a map d:J(LX)×J(LX)⟶[0,∞) satisfying some conditions. What is more, it is proved that the category of pointwise k-pseudo metric spaces is isomorphic to the category of symmetric pointwise k-remote neighborhood ball spaces. Besides, some L-topological structures induced by a pointwise k-quasi-pseudo metric are obtained, including an L-quasi neighborhood system, an L-topology, an L-closure operator, an L-interior operator, and a pointwise quasi-uniformity.
Neighborhood Risk, Parental Socialization Styles, and Adolescent Conduct Problems
2010
Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la influencia de los estilos parentales de socialización (autoritario, autorizativo, indulgente y negligente) y el nivel de riesgo percibido en el barrio en tres indicadores de problemas de conducta en la adolescencia (conducta escolar disruptiva, delincuencia y consumo de sustancias). La muestra está compuesta por 1.017 adolescentes, con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y 17 años. Los resultados obtenidos a partir de cuatro diseños factoriales multivariados revelaron únicamente efectos principales de los estilos parentales y del nivel de riesgo percibido en el barrio. Los adolescentes de padres indulgentes y autorizativos presentaron menores probl…
