El cuerpo materno en la red: entre el orden de lo ?deseable? y el de lo real
2019
El estilo de vida fitness se realiza en, y a través de, un entramado subjetivo y de poder en el que circulan y se ensamblan dispositivos empresariales, terapéuticos, sanitarios y de espectacularización de los cuerpos, tendientes a inscribir la vida de la población en las tramas conflictivas de un capitalismo heterosexista, neoliberal e informacional. En dicho marco, la temporalidad, metamorfosis y plasticidad del cuerpo materno irrumpe como problema y objeto de intervención de tecnologías diversas orientadas a ajustar su tamaño, forma y devenir a los parámetros de la vida activa y saludable. En escenarios digitales, dicha tensión se materializa, por un lado, a través de dispositivos visuale…

A Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) Modeling Approach to Prioritize Soil Conservation Management in River Basin Critical Areas Coupled With Future Cl…
2021
About 44% of the Indian landmass experiences the adverse impact of land degradation. This loss of sediments caused by soil erosion reduces the water quality of local water bodies and decreases agricultural land productivity. Therefore, decision-makers must formulate policies and management practices for sustainable management of basins that are cost-effective and environment friendly. Application of the best management practices (BMPs) to properly manage river basins is difficult and time-consuming. Its implication under various climate change scenarios makes it more complicated but necessary to achieve sustainable development. In this study, the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model…
Mismatch, Empowerment, Fatigue or Balance? Four scenarios of physical activity up to 2030 in Finland
2022
Sedentary lifestyles and the lack of physical activity (PA) are a major concern among all age groups, and current generations tend to be less fit than the previous ones in the Western World. At the same time, there is an urgent need to cut transport-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Major gains can be foreseen if current car-centred lifestyles and sedentary behaviour are addressed from an integrated perspective. In this study, we explore future scenarios in the intersections of PA and active lifestyles as well as related environmental and health benefits in Finland. We used a disaggregative Delphi approach to examine the topic. Although frequently used in health-related research, Delp…
ARCHITETTURA/INFRASTRUTTURA. Tessuti urbani e nuovi paesaggi
2013
Attraverso il materiale raccolto in questo volume, si vuole contribuire all’ordinamento e alla sistematizzazione degli apporti critici e degli apparati documentali intorno alla tematica che indaga il rapporto tra architettura e opera infrastrutturale. La sempre maggiore necessità di una verifica e messa a punto di strategie capaci di creare le basi migliori per determinare una sintesi operativa sulle questioni che derivano dalle trasformazioni che l’opera infrastrutturale determina all’interno dei nostri territori, urbani e naturali, si ritiene debba anche passare da un esame che proviene dal dibattito disciplinare e dall’esperienze sul campo, quest’ultima attraverso lo studio di opere e pr…
STUDY REGARDING THE MARKOWITZ MODEL OF PORTFOLIO SELECTION
2015
The Markowitz model was introduced through the work of Harry Markowitz (1952) and analyzes the risk and the rentability of a diversified portfolio of securities. In our research, we want to use the Markowitz model in order to identify the structure of the optimal portfolio of risky assets, in other words the efficient portofolio. The study, conducted on three romanian companies from the construction sector, listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, leads to the conclusion that the portfolio is illegitimate, so it is necessary to sell the securities of the companies in the absence, procedure known as short sell.
NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS - SCENARIOS FOR ROMANIA
2012
Competitiveness remains a continuous concern of nations in any stage of development, from factor based economy to innovation based economy. The present paper aims to emphasize the current level of national competitiveness of Romania, on one hand, and to identify possible ways to improve the current level by building scenarios in order to eliminate the uncertainty, on the other hand. The paper proposes four scenarios for increase GCI (growth competitiveness index) and four scenarios from pessimistic point of view (in these scenarios GCI will be decrease). In the near future, Romania must improve their pillars of national competitiveness and must increase their GDP per capita for transition p…
Recent climate change affecting rainstorm occurrences? A case study in East China
2008
The paper aims to investigate the occurrences of rainstorms and their relationship with the climate change scenario. The study period under investigation refers to the period of greatest recent warming between 1976–2000 whereas the study area covers China east of 105 E longitude. This region is commonly considered to be controlled by the monsoon type of climate over East Asia. <br><br> Positive (increasing) trends of rainstorm occurrences, both in annual and summer respects, have been shown for subtropical China whereas a non-uniform picture is associated with temperate China. The increase of rainstorms in subtropical China corresponds with an increasing trend of precipitation. …
Contingent Convertible Bonds for Sovereign Debt Risk Management
2018
Abstract We consider convertible bonds that contractually stipulate payment standstill, contingent on a market indicator of a sovereign’s credit worthiness breaching a distress threshold. This financial innovation limits ex ante the likelihood of debt crises and imposes ex post risk sharing between creditors and the debtor. Drawing from literature on contingent contracts, neglected risks, and bank CoCo, we extend prevailing arguments in favor of sovereign CoCo (S-CoCo). We discuss issues relating to their design: which market trigger, market discipline and sovereign incentives, and errors of false alarms or missed crises, and provide supporting evidence with eurozone data and a simple simul…
Clinical Scenario: Unexpected Positive Nodes at Radical Cystectomy
2014
Positive lymph nodes are found in 20–30 % of patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. Their presence is associated with poor survival in the majority. Super-extended lymph node dissection is recommended in the presence of positive lymph nodes to possibly improve oncologic outcome. In patients with unsuspicious lymph nodes, dissection should be performed at least up to the common iliac vessels. Even in the presence of lymph node metastases cystectomy is indicated to reduce local tumor complications. The type of urinary diversion should not be altered by lymph node positivity unless the diversion would otherwise negatively influence the extent of the procedure.
