Determinants of user behaviour and recommendation in social networks

2014

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the determinants of social network use behaviour using Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and Uses and Gratifications Theory. Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative study was carried out with data gathered by personal interview using a structured questionnaire. Relationships proposed in the theoretical model were estimated through structural equation models. In total, 811 users of social networks over 14 and residents in Spain were part of the sample. Findings – Results indicate that use attitude and the subjective norm, both TPB variables, directly and significantly influence social network loyalty. Thus, network loyalty can be achiev…

Empirical perspectives from the self-model theory of subjectivity: a brief summary with examples

2007

Abstract A concise sketch of the self-model theory of subjectivity (SMT; Metzinger, 2003a), aimed at empirical researchers. Discussion of some candidate mechanisms by which self-awareness could appear in a physically realized information-processing system like the brain, using empirical examples from various scientific disciplines. The paper introduces two core-concepts, the “phenomenal self-model” (PSM) and the “phenomenal model of the intentionality relation” (PMIR), developing a representationalist analysis of the conscious self and the emergence of a first-person perspective.

Gubernamentalidad neoliberal y producción de conocimiento en la universidad: genealogía de una configuración subjetiva

2016

This article claims that any questioning of the conditions related to the feasibility of critical research projects needs to be done by taking into account the process of commodification of knowledge that has developed in universities due to the incorporation of the modes of neoliberal governmentality. This is a process which redefines the value and use that we give to produced knowledge as well as the subjectivity of university collectives. The way knowledge is understood and the subjective configurations that promote instrumental ways of relating to knowledge in an individualizing and competitive environment need to be taken into account. Therefore, we consider it politically relevant to …

Subordinated debt in banking: a regulatory perspective

2018

The banking industry during the 1980s was characterised by the rapid spread of products and services innovations. A vast growth in this area belongs to subordinated debt. Among the instruments created for the banks' need of self-financing, subordinated debts are identified as a particular category: people who are granted a subordinated debt mainly assume the risk of the issuer's insolvency accepting to place themselves in an intermediate position between the owners and all the other creditors. Purpose of this study is to analyse the framework of this particular class of debt. Subordinated debts tend to be the first shock absorber able to incorporate the losses and tend to be very volatile w…

Violent and/or delinquent women: a vision from the biopsychosocial perspective

2015

Violence and/or delinquency in women have been masked to some extent by society. Thus, the main goal of this work is to deeply analyse the published works on these matters, in order to understand this phenomenon from a neurobiological perspective. Firstly, the theory of the cycle of violence as a facilitating mechanism of violence in women will be analysed, with a special emphasis on neuroanatomical correlates. Subsequently, the relation between drug consumption and violence in women will be explained. Finally, the main biological correlates known as facilitating mechanisms of violence in women will be exhaustively described. The main risk factors for the facilitation of violence and/or del…

Guidelines to compare additive and subtractive manufacturing approaches under the energy demand perspective

2020

In order to characterise the environmental performance of additive manufacturing (AM) processes, comparative analyses are required. Different manufacturing approaches (such as additive and subtractive ones), besides adopting different equipment, use different kinds and amounts of material. Therefore, the material-related flow has to be followed throughout the entire product life. Differences in environmental impact arise at each step of the life cycle: material production, manufacturing, use, disposal, and transportation. A life cycle-based methodology able to take due account of all the factors of influence on the total energy demand for the production of metal components is given in this …

Real-time flaw detection on complex part: Study of SVM and hyperrectangle based method

2002

We present in this paper the study of two classifications methods used in order to control in real-time some industrials parts. We present the practical frame in which is made the operations, natures of the anomaly to be detected as well as the features extractions method. We tested two techniques of classification, with different algorithm complexities and performances. We compare the results obtained on various features spaces. We end by a combinatorial perspective of results of classification.

Educación y Sostenibilidad en la Universidad de Valencia: construyendo futuro desde el pasado

2019

Una práctica académica de calidad en educación superior requiere estructuras institucionales que apoyen los principios de la Sostenibilidad y los lleven a la práctica, pero también requiere profesorado que esté motivado y capaz de impregnar su forma de enseñar y las materias que enseña desde criterios y valores relacionados con la sostenibilidad. El contexto de este trabajo es la educación e investigación para la sostenibilidad (EIpS) en la Universitat de València (UV) en los últimos 12 años. El método utilizado ha sido el Análisis de documentos que siguiendo los criterios de pertinencia, exhaustividad y actualidad ha permitido encontrar la información necesaria para desarrollar el estudio …
