The Actuarial Balance Sheet for Pay-As-You-Go Finance: Solvency Indicators for Spain and Sweden
2008
This paper provides the first estimate of the actuarial balance of the Spanish contributory pension system for the old-age contingency, based on official data. The main accounting entries are developed from the principles of double-entry bookkeeping. The novel entry in the balance sheet, entitled the ‘contribution asset’ or ‘hidden asset’, is at the centre of the theoretical discussion. A comparison between the official balance sheet for the Swedish notional account system and our balance sheet for the Spanish contributory pension system is also provided. The main finding is that the Spanish pension system has an insolvency rate of 31.4 per cent. The policy implication is that unless curren…
Improved chemometric approach for XRF data treatment: application to the reverse glass paintings from the Lipari collection
2023
The Aeolian cultural heritage preserves hundreds of testimonies of the past that have passed through six millennia of history. Among these, the Archeological Park of the Aeolian Islands with the Museum Luigi Bernab`o Brea (Italy) preserves a valuable set of artworks, which are related to a little-known ‘popular’ figurative heritage. It is an assemblage of small glass foils decorated using the technique of reverse painting, datable to between the end of the 17th century and the end of the 18th century, and actually under investigation by historians. Here, an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy study (performed with portable equipment) is combined with a multivariate approach that allows us…
Suomen Metsästäjäliiton rooli vuoden 1962 metsästyslain valmistelussa
2011
Vuonna 1962 Suomessa hyväksyttiin uusi metsästyslaki, jonka seurauksena koko metsästysorganisaatio uudistui. Lain myötä perustettiin metsästäjien omatoimisuuteen perustuva Metsästäjäin Keskusjärjestö, joka sai tehtäväkseen metsästyksen ja riistanhoidon käytännön järjestelyn Suomessa. Muutkin lain muutokset merkitsivät suuria uudistuksia metsästysasioissa. Lain valmistelu aloitettiin virallisesti vuonna 1947 asetetun Louekarin metsästyslakikomitean myötä ja valmistelu vaati toisenkin komitean asettamista. Lisäksi osa metsästäjistä oli toivonut lain uudistamista jo nopeasti edellisen, vuoden 1934 metsästyslain, voimaantulon jälkeen. Pitkä valmistelu oli monivivahteinen prosessi ja tässä tutki…

La buona morte di Filippo iv e la proclamazione del suo successore. Un modello di comunicazione in età barocca
2021
Nella prima età moderna, l’importanza attribuita dalla società del tempo al rituale funebre ha portato l’attenzione degli studiosi sulle pratiche funerarie e sugli apparati effimeri commissionati agli artisti di corte, con il susseguirsi di numerosi studi che hanno analizzato il fenomeno sotto vari punti di vista, trovando spesso una contestualizzazione territoriale della produzione effimera, esaminando scrupolosamente le cerimonie funebri della monarchia spagnola: Il trattamento dei corpi, imbalsamazione, l’abito dei monarchi, il tipo di sepoltura, il corteo funebre, le cappelle ardenti o i modi di mostrare il dolore. Un impegno comune inizia ad apparire dalla serie di belle morti, che acc…
The most important Roman cities in Valencian Land until the 3rd century
2011
The region of Valencia is the geographic link between southern and northern Mediterranean Iberia, between the Betis Valley and the islands of Ibiza and Formentera. Its strategic location is the reason behind the early Romanisation of Saguntum, Valentia and Ilici. They were neither large cities nor had costly monuments compared to Hispania as a whole; however, their interest lies in the fact that they display a model of integration into Roman lifestyles that preserves some traits from the local past, as can be gleaned from their reputation (see Sagunt) or their epithets (Valentia Edetanorum).

Foot and Lower Limb Clinical and Structural Changes in Overuse Injured Recreational Runners Using Floating Heel Shoes: Preliminary Results of a Rando…
2021
Foot-strike and the associated load rate are factors related to overuse injuries in runners. The purpose of this study was to analyse structural and functional changes in runners using floating heel running shoes, compared with runners using conventional footwear. A randomised control trial was conducted. Twenty runners with overuse injuries were followed over a 12-week gait retraining programme using floating heel running shoes or their conventional footwear. Pain was measured with pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), structural changes were measured with ultrasonography, and severity and impact of injury was scored on the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC-…
