Predatory Open-Access Publishing in Anesthesiology.
2018
Predatory publishing is an exploitative fraudulent open-access publishing model that applies charges under the pretense of legitimate publishing operations without actually providing the editorial services associated with legitimate journals. The aim of this study was to analyze this phenomenon in the field of anesthesiology and related specialties (intensive care, critical and respiratory medicine, pain medicine, and emergency care). Two authors independently surveyed a freely accessible, constantly updated version of the original Beall lists of potential, possible, or probable predatory publishers and standalone journals. We identified 212 journals from 83 publishers, and the total number…
An Analytic Hierarchy Process for The Evaluation of Transport Policies to Reduce Climate Change Impacts
2007
Transport is the sector with the fastest growth of greenhouse gases emissions, both in developed and in developing countries, leading to adverse climate change impacts. As the experts disagree on the occurrence of these impacts, by applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), we have faced the question on how to form transport policies when the experts have different opinions and beliefs. The opinions of experts have been investigated by a means of a survey questionnaire. The results show that tax schemes aiming at promoting environmental-friendly transport mode are the best policy. This incentives public and environmental-friendly transport modes, such as car sharing and car pooling.
Centri storici meridionali: verso quale futuro?
2020
Il contributo prende le mosse da una domanda di fondo, e cioè se i centri storici delle grandi e medie città meridionali, interessati da processi di recupero e di riqualificazione, possano sfuggire a un destino settoriale basato prevalentemente sull’eccellenza del patrimonio, sul turismo e sulle attività culturali o possano continuare a svolgere il ruolo di strutture urbane vitali, dotate di un mix di attività ordinarie e di funzioni, prima fra tutte, quella residenziale. L’intervento sui centri storici richiede un’ottica multidisciplinare integrata, che dalla visione complessiva dei problemi faccia discendere strategie per la conservazione e la rivitalizzazione urbana. The contribution sta…
La conciliación: dilemas abiertos. Malestares latentes, pactos incumplidos, incoherencias y desencuentros.
2014
El origen de las políticas de conciliación hemos de situarlas en los años 90 del pasado siglo. Nacen como un mecanismo para ayudar a las mujeres a superar el handicap de tener que cargar con los 'deberes domésticos' al tiempo que desarrollan iniciativas para insertarse o mantenerse en el empleo (Torns, 2005). Este trabajo se plantea como objetivos clave el estudio, desde una perspectiva de género, de la conciliación como herramienta para afrontar las necesidades derivadas de las transformaciones experimentadas en la sociedad. El abandono progresivo de los modelos tradicionales de división sexual del trabajo, los cambios sociales en las expectativas individuales de hombres y mujeres, las tra…
”Meillä ei ole politiikkaa valtionavustuksissa!”
2021
Valtionavustustoiminta on olennainen osa suomalaista yhteiskuntapolitiikkaa ja valtionhallinnon ohjausjärjestelmää. Avustamista toimeenpanevat ministeriöt, tulosohjatut virastot sekä muut asiantuntijaorganisaatiot. Artikkelimme tutkii kulttuurihallinnon virkakunnan vallankäyttöä opetus- ja kulttuuriministeriön (OKM) valtionavustuspolitiikassa. Ymmärrämme kulttuurihallinnon ohjausvälineineen merkittävänä valtaa käyttävänä organisaatiorakenteena. Tarkastelu pohjautuu arviointitutkimukseen OKM:n tulosohjaaman asiantuntijaviraston Taiteen edistämiskeskuksen (Taike) valtionavustusprosessista. Artikkelimme on tapaustutkimus, jossa kuvaamme kulttuuripolitiikan toimeenpanorakent…
Prostitution voluntary or forced. A contribution to the debate
2011
La tesis abolicionista de que nadie puede elegir libremente vender su cuerpo ha sido cuestionada por quienes reclaman el reconocimiento de derechos laborales para los trabajadores del sexo, lo cual ha dado lugar a una encendida polémica sobre el carácter voluntario o forzado de la prostitución. Los testimonios de veintitrés mujeres (incluyendo cinco ex prostitutas), recogidos mediante entrevistas en profundidad, sugieren que todas ellas están situadas en un punto intermedio del continuum que va desde la coerción criminal hasta la opción vocacional. Los pasajes relativos específicamente al itinerario de acceso a este mundo permiten distinguir tres tipos de prostitución en función del grado d…
A global perspective on effectiveness of aid for trade
2013
Recent global initiatives on debt relief and development assistance call for increasing aid for trade to the poorest countries. The paper applies a multi-country computable general equilibrium model to measure the effectiveness of alternative aid for trade categories. The findings show that aid for trade policies expand trade and alleviate international income inequalities in the recipient countries, that will benefit mainly from aid for trade adjustment and technical assistance.
Dynamic reconfiguration systems for PV plant: Technical and economic analysis
2020
Solar plants suffer of partial shading and mismatch problems. Without considering the generation of hot spots and the resulting security issues, a monitoring system for the health of a PV plant should be useful to drive a dynamic reconfiguration system (DRS) to solve bottlenecks due to different panels’ shading. Over the years different DRS architectures have been proposed, but no suggestions about costs and benefits have been provided. Starting from technical subjects such as differences of the topologies driving the hardware complexity and number of components, this paper identifies the cost of DRS and its lifetime, and based on these issues it provides an economic analysis for a 6 kWp PV…

Mens sana in corpore exhausto. Emociones y gestión de sí en escuelas secundarias del sur global
2020
In recent years, emotional education has become a central element in a series of guidelines on a global scale that have been translated into various state initiatives aimed at education. Thus, Mens sana in corpore exhausto proposes to demonstrate the tension that is expressed between the growing series of discourses on emotional education and the school climate and the exhaustive bodies of teachers and directors of public secondary schools in the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires (RMBA). By way of hypothesis, these policies are considered to work on the bodies of teachers and directors, encouraging them to continue and not stop under the logic of management and self-management that throw …
