Relocating within the university : proposal of a relocation rate based on a study of educational trajectories

2017

La universidad ha vivido transformaciones importantes en los últimos años como es la expansión de una mayor heterogeneidad en el perfil de los estudiantes. Esta realidad ha implicado cambios significativos en el acceso a la universidad, los resultados y la salida hacia el mercado laboral de los universitarios. Los estudiantes provienen de entornos socioeconómicos diferentes, de vías de acceso diversas y se incorporan a la universidad con distintas expectativas y ritmos están produciendo una diversificación de las trayectorias educativas. En este sentido, esta diversificación conduce a una mayor frecuencia de trayectorias que desencadenan cambios de grado y abandonos de los estudios, lo que …

The Chinese Bittersweet Cake in Orbea’s Internationalization

2017

Orbea is the oldest and biggest bicycle manufacturer in Spain and one of the most recognized bike brands in the world. With more than 175 years in the market, in the year 2007 Orbea decided to set up its third manufacturing plant in the Industrial park of Kunshan. After 8 years with activity there, in 2015 the company decided to close down the factory and reallocated its resources closer to the Headquarters. Some of the reasons that influenced its entry and exit decisions had their origin in the specific context of investment (place): China and the country-of-origin (COO) cluster in Kunshan. Other reasons of the reshoring and backshoring were related with the evolution of the sector, public…

Temporal variability analysis reveals biases in electronic health records due to hospital process reengineering interventions over seven years

2019

[EN] Objective To evaluate the effects of Process-Reengineering interventions on the Electronic Health Records (EHR) of a hospital over 7 years. Materials and methods Temporal Variability Assessment (TVA) based on probabilistic data quality assessment was applied to the historic monthly-batched admission data of Hospital La Fe Valencia, Spain from 2010 to 2016. Routine healthcare data with a complete EHR was expanded by processed variables such as the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Results Four Process-Reengineering interventions were detected by quantifiable effects on the EHR: (1) the hospital relocation in 2011 involved progressive reduction of admissions during the next four months, (2) th…

Oltre i confini: verso la regionalizzazione dell'urbano. W 1.2 Il paradigma bio-regionale per il progetto di ri-territorializzazione (re-embedding) d…

2019

Il capitolo rende conto di una rilettura ed interpretazione del paradigma bio-regionale come riferimento per pratiche interpretative, di governance e progetto di territorio finalizzate alla “ril-ocalizzazione” dell’insediamento umano nel suo milieu socio-culturale ed ambientale di prossimità. Il riferimento primario è all’ampio e polifonico movimento culturale bio-regionale sviluppatosi in particolare negli Stati Uniti tra la fine degli anni sessanta e l’inizio degli anni settanta del XX secolo.

Multi-disciplinary analysis to construct a crustal model of the Sicily Channel using geological and geophysical techniques (data): impacts on geologi…

2023

To understand the dynamics of crustal deformation and earthquakes in active orogenic systems, it is essential to have a detailed view of the lithospheric structures in three dimensions (3D). Several studies in the literature explain how 3D visualization can enable the recognition of tectonic structures or to be able to establish connections between intraplate volcanoes (Wu et al., 2016; Lei & Zhao, 2016; Tan et al., 2019). This work aims to define and discretize a 1D-velocity model of the Sicily Channel; create a detailed 3D lithospheric model of the Sicily Channel using a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate the geological hazard elements that affect the Iblean foreland integrating bathy…

Toward a conceptual understanding of acute cultural adaptation: A preliminary examination of ACA in female swimming

2012

This paper considers a novel approach to researching adaptation in transnational athletes. The first part introduces a conceptualisation of acute cultural adaptation (ACA), which extends the current literature in sport psychology by offering original insights into mechanisms underpinning adaptive processes to a new cultural site during an interim relocation. Rereading a self-determination theory through the lens of cultural epistemology, the proposed theorisation suggests that ACA is realised in everyday practices drawing on a range of material and symbolic cultural resources to satisfy basic psychological needs. The second part of the paper engages the conceptualisation of ACA to make sens…

A Novel Approach for Accelerating Bitstream Relocation in Many-core Partially Reconfigurable Applications

2013

International audience; Partial Bitstream Relocation (PBR) has been introduced in recent years, as a means to overcome the limitations of the traditional Xilinx Partial Reconfiguration flow, particularly in terms of the limited module placement, a fact that can greatly reduce the memory footprint of applications which require multiple implementations of the same module... However, PBR consumes scarce resources in hardware implementations, and introduces a prohibitive time overhead when done in software. This is particularly true in applications such as large scalable systems, which typically require multiple copies of the same module to accelerate a task, but in which the relocation time ov…

Metro Manila’s Challenges: Flooding, Housing and Mobility

2014

Among the many challenges faced by MetroManila, the National Capital Region of the Philippines, three appear as the most pressing issues for the everydaylife of its citizens: housing, flooding and traffic. The rapid increase in population of the metropolitan area had led to a mushrooming of substandard housing and squatting, sometimes in danger areas such as waterways and transport lanes. In a tropical context of heavy monsoon rains and frequent typhoons, riverside slums impeding the flow of water appear as one of the reasons—not the only one—why Manila floods, when at the same time people are placed at high risk. Coupled with a lack of available space throughout the metropolis, the high po…

On FE-grid relocation in solving unilateral boundary value problems by FEM

1992

We consider FE-grid optimization in elliptic unilateral boundary value problems. The criterion used in grid optimization is the total potential energy of the system. It is shown that minimization of this cost functional means a decrease of the discretization error or a better approximation of the unilateral boundary conditions, Design sensitivity analysis is given with respect to the movement of nodal points. Numerical results for the Dirichlet-Signorini problem for the Laplace equation and the plane elasticity problem with unilateral boundary conditions are given. In plane elasticity we consider problems with and without friction. peerReviewed
