Consumir la <em>obra de terra</em>. Los orígenes de la cerámica valenciana por el lado de la demanda (1283-1349)
2018
Los orígenes de las vajillas cerámicas valencianas, uno de los productos más codiciados de la Baja Edad Media, se han explicado tradicionalmente desde el punto de vista de la oferta. El interés por los aspectos tecnológicos y estilísticos —productivos— ha tendido a eclipsar las cuestiones que van más allá de los objetos, que afectan al punto de vista del consumidor: ¿hasta qué punto fue clave la demanda de obra de terra de la propia sociedad valenciana en el inicio de su producción? Este artículo valora esta cuestión a través de una muestra de 232 inventarios de bienes de entre 1283 y 1349, sobre los que se aplican los análisis cuantitativos propios de la historiografía del consumo. Se argu…
El administrador testamentario ¿venganza póstuma?
2019
El objeto del presente estudio es poner de manifiesto la escasa regulación en el Código civil de la figura del administrador testamentario. Esta figura ha sido creada con la intención de proteger el patrimonio del hijo menor o incapacitado del testador. Sin embargo, esta figura puede provocar graves problemas cuandola persona designada para el cargo de administrador testamentario mantiene malas relaciones con el progenitor del menor que ha sido expresamente excluido de la administración de aquellos bienes transmitidos a título gratuito. En este trabajo analizaremos las distintas soluciones planteadas por la jurisprudencia y la doctrina para aplicar analógicamente los regímenes de otras figu…
Taxation in Romania – Some Positive Aspects
2013
Abstract The field of taxation is often a subject of analysis, due to its importance for the formation and administration of public financial resources. By taking into account the local, national and international size of taxation, may be thus identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Although the taxation in Romania is often criticized both by taxpayers and by specialists, there is a progress in taxation field as a result of actions taken in forming and managing fiscal revenues. Without claiming an exhaustive approach, through this article we mention some positive aspects of Romanian taxation. We believe that these should be consolidated and continued.
The identification of social economy companies in Spain. Legal problems
2018
La Ley de Economía Social 5/2001 nace con el objetivo de configurar un marco jurídico que de visibilidad a la economía social y le otorgue mayor seguridad jurídica; y con esta finalidad define la economía social y establece los requisitos que deben cumplir las entidades denominadas de economía social. Esos requisitos hacen referencia a la condición de entidad privada, al desarrollo de una actividad económica con criterios empresariales y al cumplimiento de ciertos fines y principios. Las entidades de la economía social deben perseguir el interés general, de forma directa o en conjunción con los intereses de sus miembros usuarios, y deben actuar conforme con ciertos principios que pueden cal…
The negligence and lazy of the Administration: the greatest danger to the conservation of the unique lagerstätte sites
2019
An example is given of one of the most important sites in the Spanish fossil record, such as the almost a hundred moulds of ancient jellyfish of hydrozoan Medusozoa, Cnidaria, exceptionally preserved in an arkosic greywacke bedding plane of the Corduban/Terreneuvian Epoch (lowermost Cambrian) in the municipal district of Constantina (Seville). In spite of its scientific-patrimonial importance and the fact that it has been brought to the attention of the Andalusian autonomous administration for more than twenty-five years, it has still not been the object of an adequate legal protection figure. This lack of interest or bureaucratic slowness is causing an irreparable loss in many of its eleme…
The Transformation of Private Space in the Later Middle Ages: Rooms and Living Standards in the Kingdom of Valencia (1280-1450)
2020
This article undertakes a quantitative and qualitative analysis of probate inventories from a selection of towns and highly urbanized areas from the kingdom of Valencia in the period 1280-1460, which are used to explore the inner distribution of more than 300 housings. Agreeing with the historiographical statement that this period was one of general improvement as to living standards and housing, this article reveals Valencian dwellings were provided with more specialized rooms since the late fourteenth century. This phenomenon was present particularly in the residences of townspeople living in large urban centers. Despite the predominant spatial simplicity of most late medieval housings, …
Unequal poverty and equal industrialisation: Finnish wealth, 1750–1900
2018
We present the first comprehensive, long-run estimates of Finnish wealth and its distribution from 1750 to 1900. Using wealth data from 17,279 probate inventories, we show that Finland was very unequal between 1750 and 1850; the top decile owned about 90% of total wealth. This means that Finland was more unequal than the much wealthier economies Britain, France and the US, which goes against the common assumption of richer economies being more unequal. Moreover, when industrialisation took off in Finland, inequality started a downward trajectory. High inequality 1750–1850 was bottom-driven, by a large share of the population owning nothing or close to nothing of value, while economic develo…
Financiación de asociaciones: examen especial del ejercicio de actividades económicas
2019
The economic crisis has led to an increase in the funding needs of associations and at the same time, a decrease of its resources. In view of this situation, we will examine the different existing possibilities to obtain a stable financial framework and, in light of the limitations which other systems suffer from, we will conclude that implementation of economic activities will prove to be the most practical solution. However, this exercise faces the disapproval of the Administration which considers, in many cases, that said alternative leads to the loss of its declaration of public utility and subsequently the possibility of opting for the privileged tax regime inherent in Law 49/2002 on T…
Images of higher education: developing and administering translation studies programmes in Germany
2014
This paper will draw on Gareth Morgan’s management classic, Images of Organization, to explore how translation studies programmes are developed and administered at Mainz University in Germany. Morgan identifies various metaphors that can be used to interpret the ways in which organisations are structured and managed. In accordance with his suggestions for reading organisational life, I shall first provide a survey of how his entire range of metaphors can be applied to the management of translation studies programmes, and then proceed to integrate the insights gained by building two detailed storylines. Since there can be no single ‘correct’ interpretive frame, I shall create two alternative…
Violence and the Peasant Elite in Lower Satakunta (1550–1680)
2016
“The lengthy quarrels over inheritance hint that these people had fiery tempers”, wrote Mauno Jokipii in his pioneering article on the history of the Lavila family—one of the prominent families of freeholders in Lower Satakunta.1 In our study on the women from that same family, Virpi Nissila and I have encountered about 100 court cases from the 1620 to the 1650s, in which six women from two generations have been present. The most prominent of them is Anna Martensdotter who appeared in court 28 times in the four years for which we have the court minutes still intact. These records tell of her offensive behaviour: neighbours complaining about her physical violence, insults, appropriations, an…
