Priming effect increases with depth in a boreal forest soil
2016
Abstract Climate warming increases labile carbon (C) inputs to soil through increased photosynthesis and C allocation belowground. This could counterintuitively lead to losses of soil C via priming effects (PE): the stimulation of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition caused by labile C addition. Systematic quantification of PEs in different ecosystems is needed. We measured PEs of free-living soil microbes in different layers of a boreal forest soil, and found that the relative magnitude of the PE increased with soil depth. The relationship between relative PE and the added glucose amount also depended on the soil layer. Our results indicate that the decomposition of SOM in deeper soil l…
Lon Fuller’s Philosophical Affiliation: Prescriptive Legal Positivism (Neither Natural Law Theory nor Principialism)
2022
En este trabajo expondré el que considero el sentido apropiado de las tesis de Fuller sobre la moral interna del derecho. Tras argumentar que la tesis de la moral interna no dice mucho sobre la conexión entre el derecho y la moral en el sentido en que normalmente se discute sobre esta cuestión en los debates entre los partidarios del positivismo jurídico y sus críticos, explicaré en qué sentido el derecho es, para Fuller, un fenómeno moral. Esto me permitirá pronunciarme sobre la cuestionada filiación iusfilosófica del autor: sostendré que la filosofía del derecho de Fuller está en las antípodas de una concepción iusnaturalista o de una concepción principialista no-positivista del derecho y…
El principio de proporcionalidad como criterio hermenéutico en la justicia constitucional
2011
RESUMEN. La presente contribución realiza un análisis crítico sobre la aplicación judicial del principio de proporcionalidad para la concretización del contenido material de los derechos fundamentales, en contraposición a las posturas divergentes, que señalan que este instrumento ha traído inseguridad al plano de la interpretación constitucional, dada la visión de los derechos fundamentales como principios y de establecer una jerarquía axiológica movediza, además de inestabilidad e imprevisibilidad a la solución del mismo conflicto en casos futuros. La visión que ofrecemos sitúa al principio de proporcionalidad como un instrumento de la hermenéutica constitucional, capaz de brindar una fund…
Using Private Social Care Services in Finland : Free or Forced Choices for Older People?
2016
Use of private social care services among older people is increasing in Finland. This study aims to understand why older people choose private care in a comprehensive tax-subsidized social care system and examines whether people choose private service as a free choice or a forced choice as well as what factors contribute toward making these choices. Data for this study (N = 1,436) were gathered in 2010 from people aged 75 and above living independently at home in two Finnish cities: Tampere and Jyväskylä. Data were analyzed with several quantitative tests: chi-squared tests, multinomial regression analysis, and qualitative content analysis (for the open-ended responses from the survey quest…
Strategic renewal : Can it be done profitably?
2022
Industry transformation requires strategic renewal at the level of individual firms. Executives then face the dilemma of choosing renewal paths in the face of uncertainty over the competitive environment of the future, and hence the profitability of potential strategies. This dilemma motivates us to study industry transformation from the perspective of strategic renewal among 208 large firms in the global pulp and paper industry. The findings of our qualitative comparative analysis show that only a minority of firms in our sample succeeded in profitable proactive renewal. Content-wise, there were similarities in the pursued strategies over the wider population, but only a few maintained sup…
Matematica in sezione: tradizioni culturali, pedagogiche e didattiche vicine e lontane
2014
The Math Teaching at School means to reflect on the pedagogical and didactical traditions that are present in the classroom didactical practice; cultural references emerging since the first years of the kindergarden. This work claims to discuss a possible epistemic reflection on our way of working in School through a possible comparison with a didactic setting very different from ours, the Chinese one. We present the practice of variation, that can be found in textbooks as a significant methodology for the teaching/learning of the mathematical thought at Kindergarten and Primary School.

Are importing and exporting complements or substitutes in an emerging economy? The case of Colombia
2021
The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of two trading strategies (exporting and importing) on total factor productivity (TFP) and the potential complementarity/substitutability effects of these strategies. In order to assess these effects, robust estimates of TFP are obtained using a general method of moments approach that explicitly determines the ability of a firm's trading experience to affect productivity. Data from the Annual Manufacturing Survey spanning from 2007 to 2016 is used for Colombian manufacturing firms. Our estimation results suggest that, regardless of the technological intensity of the industry in which the firm operates, active trading strategies (exporting o…
Product market regulation, innovation and productivity
2014
Several recent policy and academic contributions consider that liberalising product markets would foster innovation and growth. This paper analyses the innovation-productivity relationship at the industry-level for a sample of OECD manufacturing industries. We pay particular attention to the vertically-induced influence of product market regulation (PMR) of key input sectors of the economy on the innovative process of manufacturing and its consequences on productivity. We test for a differentiated effect of this type of PMR depending on whether countries are technological leaders or laggards in a given industry and for a given time period. Contrary to the most widespread policy claims, the …
The profession conceptualization in the Valencian Community
2002
La Comunidad Valenciana es un lugar estratégico en el sector de Turismo y Hostelería. La formación tiene que responder a la realidad laboral a la que los futuros trabajadores deben dar respuesta.Los Ciclos Formativos, de grado medio y de grado superior, que actualmente están implantados en la Comunidad Valenciana son la herramienta que proporciona el sistema educativo formal para responder a las necesidades y nuevas demandas que genera el factor empleo en los mercados de trabajo locales en la Comunidad Valenciana. Los profesores que imparten estos Ciclos Formativos poseen una propia concepción de la profesión de este sector y es la que transmiten a los alumnos que acuden a estos ciclos. A s…
