Estudios estratégicos para la lucha contra la fascioliasis humana a nivel mundial = Strategic studies for the fight against de human fascioliasis wor…
2013
Fascioliasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica. Emergence of human fascioliasis prompted a worldwide control initiative including a pilot study in several countries. Given the necessity to characterize the fasciolid populations involved, the overall aim of the present research is, first, the phenotypic characterization of faciolid adults and eggs implicated in human endemic areas, where this initiative has been implemented, through a computer image analysis system (CIAS) applied on the basis of standardized measurements. Second, new immunological techniques and their potential use as immunological diagnostic tests in those areas are evaluated. The …
Public-service provision in clientelist political settlements: Lessons from Ghana's urban water sector
2015
The politics of public-service delivery continues to be neglected under the supposedly more context-sensitive post-Washington Consensus. Using interviews and documentary evidence from Ghana, this article provides an account of the networks of political interference and informal practices in Ghana's public water utility. It argues that, in order to understand why private-sector participation succeeds or fails and why similar arrangements have different outcomes across developing countries, we need to examine the effects of the informal institutional context, particularly the country-specific political settlement in which public-service provision operates.

Editorial: Positive Technology: Designing E-experiences for Positive Change
2019
While there is little doubt that our lives are becoming increasingly digital, whether this change is for the better or for the worse is far from being settled. Rather, over the past years concerns about the personal and social impacts of technologies have been growing, fueled by dystopian Orwellian scenarios that almost on daily basis are generously dispensed by major Western media outlets. According to a recent poll involving some 1,150 experts, 47% of respondents predict that individuals’ well-being will bemore helped than harmed by digital life in the next decade, while 32% say people’s well-being will bemore harmed than helped. Only 21% of those surveyed indicated that the impact of tec…
Prowadzenie pozarolniczej działalności gospodarczej jako tytuł ubezpieczeń społecznych - wybrane zagadnienia
2021
Prowadzenie pozarolniczej działalności gospodarczej stanowi szczególny tytuł ubezpieczeń społecznych. Wynika to z faktu, że w zakresie podlegania ubezpieczeniom społecznym wyłącznie przedsiębiorcy (spośród wszystkich osób prowadzących pozarolniczą działalność) posiadają uprawnienia do okresowego wyłączenia obowiązku ubezpieczeń społecznych oraz zawieszenia wykonywania działalności gospodarczej, nie tylko z powodu sprawowania osobistej opieki nad dzieckiem. Z kolei w sferze opłacania składek na ubezpieczenia społeczne istnieją trzy sposoby ustalania podstawy wymiaru składek z tego tytułu (podstawa zwykła, preferencyjna i uzależniona od dochodu). Ogólnie należy stwierdzić, że prowadzenie poza…
Unfair play? Video games as exploitative monetized services: An examination of game patents from a consumer protection perspective
2019
Video games as a consumer product have changed significantly with the advent of in-game purchasing systems (e.g., microtransactions, ‘loot boxes’). This review examines consumer protections related to in-game purchasing by anticipating some of the potential design strategies that might contribute to higher risk consumer behavior. Attention was directed towards the analysis of patents for potential in-game purchasing systems, with 13 identified on Google Patents. The design features were analysed in relation to the consumer rights and guarantees described in the terms of use agreements of the patent assignees. The analysis revealed that some in-game purchasing systems could be characterized …
La aplicación de los tributos en los casos de delito contra la hacienda pública
2021
The paper analyses the multiple tax procedures to be developed by the different bodies of the Spanish Tax Authorities (tax management procedures, tax inspection procedures, tax collection and tax penalty procedures) in the case of appreciation of an alleged crime against the Public Treasury. To attain this goal, a study of the new Tax crime configuration after 2012´ criminal reform is carried out, as well as a study of Act 34/2015.
Prenatal exposure to diazepam and alprazolam, but not to zolpidem, affects behavioural stress reactivity in handling-naïve and handling-habituated ad…
2002
A gentle long-lasting handling produces persistent neurochemical and behavioural changes and attenuates the impairment in the behavioural reactivity to novelty induced by the prenatal exposure to diazepam (DZ) in adult male rat progeny. This study investigated the consequences of a late prenatal treatment with three GABA/BDZ R agonists (DZ) alprazolam (ALP) and zolpidem (ZOLP)), on different stress-related behavioural patterns, in non-handled (NH), short-lasting handled (SLH) and long-lasting handled (LLH) adult male rats exposed to forced swim test (FST), acoustic startle reflex (ASR) and Vogel test (VT). The effects on motor activity were evaluated in the open field and in the Skinner box…
Prezidenta kā intelektuāļa lomas izvērtējums Latvijā
2020
Maģistra darba “Prezidenta kā intelektuāļa lomas izvērtējums Latvijā” mērķis ir noskaidrot, cik lielā mērā un kādas intelektuālim raksturīgas iezīmes ar Latvijas prezidentu saista viedokļu paudēji Latvijas preses rakstos. Lai arī salīdzinājumā ar prezidentālajām un pusprezidentālajām sistēmām, parlamentārās sistēmās valstu prezidenti pēc sava pilnvaru apmēra tiek piedēvēta samērā maza politiskā ietekme, tiem nereti tiek piedēvētas vairākas ar intelektuālismu saistītas kvalitātes, kas var radīt situācijas, kurās sabiedrība no prezidenta sagaida vairāk nekā konstitūcijā noteikto pilnvaru īstenošanu. Līdz ar to šajā darbā padziļināta uzmanība tiek pievērsta tieši prezidenta intelektuālajām kva…
Ceramic Production in the Indigenous Settlement of Entella (Western Sicily) During the Archaic Age
2010
Indigenous fine tablewares (both plain and with painted geometric patterns/decorations) were widely diffused in western and central Sicily between the seventh and the fifth centuries BC (Gargini 1995; Spatafora 1996; Trombi 1999; Campisi 2003 However, the considerable recurrence of shapes and decorative subjects inhibits the identification of specific production centres merely on the basis of stylistic and morphological analyses. Therefore, the extent of the distribution of objects manufactured in different workshops cannot be fully appreciated, and the network of ceramic trade in Archaic Sicily is acknowledged only in terms of the relationships between the Phoenician and Greek colonies and…
