Production et commerce, quelques aspects dans le nord de la Gaule romaine (Ier-IIIe siècle de notre ère)
2023
L’étude de l’économie de la Gaule romaine par les archéologues a traditionnellement privilégié l’analyse des lieux de production agricole et artisanale, ainsi que la diffusion des produits manufacturés. La large diffusion de produits à l’échelle du bassin méditerranéen et jusque dans les provinces septentrionales de l’Empire, voire en dehors, suggère une économie ouverte aux échanges à longue distance. Les recherches montrent cependant que la diffusion n’atteint jamais la totalité de l’Empire, voire du Bassin méditerranéen, si ce n’est de manière marginale. Par ailleurs, à l’écart des rivages de la Méditerranée, l’examen des mobiliers provenant de sites d’habitat conduit à nuancer la place …
Comparison between various bituminous binders modified with crumb tyre rubber
2009
The aim of this paper is to show how the rheology, the performance and the storage stability of different bituminous binders, obtained from two bitumens with different asphaltenes content, change their properties when they are modified with recycled tyre crumb rubber. Physical, chemical and performance characterisation followed by rheological and storage stability analyses have been undertaken as the basis for the comparison. The results of the investigation indicate that bitumen with lower asphaltenes content is more influenced by the modification with the rubber. However, the modification of the bitumen with the higher asphaltenes content gives a binder with better performance and storage…
Finnish-Chinese intercultural negotiation : power positioning and search for common ground
2018
‘Rising China’ is a term that has come to refer to China’s march to being number one, the speed of its economic growth, and its investment around the world during last two decades. In Finland, government agencies have been established to promote investment, trade, and co-operation with China, while regional and local governments are also actively involved. Meanwhile, much of the world is now competing for the attention of China, so the power dynamic is tending to shift in favour of the Chinese. This developing context has been examined in previous studies primarily from the perspectives of politics, economics, and management studies. The overarching aim of this study is to investigate emerg…
Is it possible to make a diagnosis of raw, heated and baked egg allergy in children using cut-offs? A systematic review
2015
The diagnosis of IgE-mediated egg allergy lies both on a compatible clinical history and on the results of skin prick tests (SPTs) and IgEs levels. Both tests have good sensitivity but low specificity. For this reason, oral food challenge (OFC) is the ultimate gold standard for the diagnosis. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature in order to identify, analyze, and synthesize the predictive value of SPT and specific IgEs both to egg white and to main egg allergens and to review the cutoffs suggested in the literature. A total of 37 articles were included in this systematic review. Studies were grouped according to the degree of cooking of the egg used for OFC, age…
Primary Data Collection and Environmental/Energy Audit of Hot Mix Asphalt Production
2020
The development of the road construction sector determines the consequences on consumption of non-renewable resources, energy expenditure and environmental pollution. Recent sustainability issues have highlighted the importance of efficient design and quality-oriented techniques in this sector, due to the huge amount of materials involved in construction and maintenance activities. Thus, it is necessary to properly quantify the environmental impacts of asphalt mixtures used for pavement construction, considering the whole life cycle of the products. Life cycle assessment (LCA) represents the most appropriate methodological framework for assessing the environmental burdens of a product, from…
Tourist consumption behaviour in a sun and beach Mediterranean mature destination and its implications for local development
2015
El comercio de buena parte de los destinos maduros de sol y playa, a lo largo de la orilla norte del mar Mediterráneo, ha tenido que afrontar varios años de rendimientos decrecientes a causa de la crisis económica que han sufrido los principales mercados de origen (nacional e internacional), y a la competencia de nuevas formas y destinos turísticos. En la mayoría de los casos, se trata de núcleos urbanos con un comercio estacional de proximidad que solo se activa durante la breve temporada alta. El resto del comercio urbano apenas se beneficia del consumo de un turismo que permanece recluido en el espacio de playa. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un análisis empírico de los h…

Indigon sinisestä kokenillin punaiseen : tekstiilivärjäyksessä käytettyjen luonnonväriaineiden tuonti Suomeen (1791–1856)
2022
Tutkimme ulkomaisten luonnonväriaineiden tuontia Suomeen 1790-luvun alusta 1850-luvun puoliväliin. Ajankohtaa voidaan luonnehtia murroskaudeksi väriaineiden käytön historiassa. Selvitämme mitä väriaineita Suomeen tuotiin, millaisia määriä, minneniitä tuotiin sekä mistä satamista väriainelastit olivat lähtöisin. Lähdeaineistomme perustan muodostavat Tanskan Juutinrauman tullitilit, joista on koostettu suomalaisia satamia koskeva tietokanta (FIN-STRO: 1560/1791–1856). Lähdepohjaa on täydennetty muulla tilastoaineistolla sekä laadullisella materiaalilla, kuten värjäysoppailla ja Kansalliskirjaston digitaalisella sanomalehtiarkistolla. Tutkimme erityisesti sinistä, punaista ja keltaista väriä t…
Los beneficios del mar: negocios e inversiones económicas de la oficialidad naval en el siglo XVIII
2019
Throughout the eighteenth century, the Spanish navy was extensively reformed and enhanced as a consequence of the new model of Monarchy that the Bourbons introduced. Among the measures adopted, it is remarkable the erection of the naval officers corps according to the needs and obligations that maritime war had in this century. This group becomes the paradigm of the new professionalization and new training approach, and its members had great relevance due to its great mobility around the empire and the power of the naval institution. This means that a part of the naval officers were placed in privileged positions and at the intersection of diverse political, social and economic networks. Th…
DESARROLLO ECONÓMICO DE UN PUEBLO LACUSTRE: CAPULHUAC, ESTADO DE MÉXICO
2017
Resumen Capulhuac se localiza en la Cuenca del Alto Lerma en el Estado de Mexico, en sus origenes prehispanicos mantuvo un desarrollo sociocultural y economico lacustre. Durante la epoca colonial la poblacion se dedico a la produccion y venta de pulque, a la cria de ganado menor, al comercio de estos productos y de los obtenidos de la cienaga. En la decada de 1940 comenzo la construccion del acueducto que dirige las aguas del Alto Lerma hacia el Distrito Federal, lo que disminuyo la cantidad de recursos lacustres para el sustento y el comercio, esto incremento la explotacion del maguey y la cria de ganado, para la elaboracion de pulque y la manufactura de prendas de lana, respectivamente.
