Las políticas culturales en el sur de Europa tras la crisis global [Recurso electrónico] : su impacto en la participación cultural = Cultural policie…
2020
El último tercio del siglo XX supuso el inicio de un proceso de convergencia en la formulación y en la implementación de las políticas culturales de los países del sur de Europa con respecto al norte. Sin embargo, la crisis global ha conllevado un retroceso en los indicadores de participación cultural, rompiéndose la tendencia de la europeización de esta política pública. Analizamos desde un enfoque comparado, como la densidad institucional de la educación artística no formal, el sistema formal educativo y el tipo de gobernanza de los equipamientos culturales, determinan, además de los recortes públicos en la cultura, la mayor caída de la participación cultural en el modelo de política cult…
A novel approach for parameters determination in four lumped PV parametric model with operative range evaluations
2013
The paper presents a novel numerical approach for the parameters determination of crystalline silicon PV models four lumped parameters equivalent circuit. The novel approach basically deals with a new method, alternative to the iterative one known in literature, to calculate the series resistance. Particularly, it allows the evaluation of the lumped parameters on the basis of the manufacturer’s datasheet. The new approach has been validated both in the Maximum Power Point (MPP) and close to it by comparing values and curves obtained by means of the model implementation in Matlab/Simulink environment with those related to some five parameters models and manufacturer curves. Results show that…
Family Activity Patterns as related to the symmetry in the division of labour in the family, children’s socialization to work and the significance of…
1986
The paper is based on empirical material collected in connection with the research project ‘Way of life in the family parental awareness of parenthood, and children’s social development’. The sample consisted of 212 families with both parents and a six-year-old child. It was relatively homogeneous with regard to the educational background of the parents. Comparisons were made between groups of families which differed with regard to (1) symmetry in the division of labour, (2) socialization of children to work, and (3) the relative significance of work vs. family life to the parents. Symmetry in the division of labour was strongly reflected in the family time consumption patterns and their co…
Estimating the substitutability between private and public consumption: the case of Spain, 1960–2003
2005
This paper examines the relationship between private and public consumption using Spanish data over the period 1960–2003, using a two-good permanent-income model. We extend previous analysis addressing the question of whether this relationship is stable over time, or exhibits a structural break allowing the instability to occur at an unknown point in time. Our empirical results indicated the existence of a long-run relationship between private and public consumption. We also detect a structural change of regime shift in the cointegration regression around the time of 1973–74. Finally, the estimated intratemporal and intertemporal elasticities of substitution between the two types of expendi…
Los inventarios <em>post mortem</em> de la Valencia medieval. Una fuente para el estudio del consumo doméstico y los niveles de vida
2017
Los inventarios post mortem de la Valencia bajomedieval apenas han sido sometidos a algunas cuestiones básicas sobre su naturaleza ¿Qué los distinguía de otras listas de bienes y cuál era su fundamentación legal? ¿Por qué se realizaban? ¿Qué bienes recogían y cuáles omitían? ¿Cuántos inventarios se conservan en la actualidad? ¿Qué sectores de la sociedad medieval los solicitaban? Las respuestas que proporciona este artículo hacen evidente la potencialidad de un uso seriado y cuantitativo del inventario valenciano para el estudio del consumo doméstico, una vía de análisis que permitiría medir con precisión cambios en los niveles de vida de la sociedad bajomedieval a un nivel muy difícil de l…
Brokers in the tea trade between China and West Africa
2021
Brokers have played important roles in the trade of green tea between China and Mali, from the 19th century when tea first came to Mali up to the present. They mediate between tea buyers and sellers, work on their own account, use soft skills, knowledge and networks and make a living from the commission they gain. This article examines the work of brokers in the tea trade, the social constellations in which they are active and the scope of their activity. Based on extensive field research in Mali and China, this article shows how brokers create their own jobs in a dynamic business landscape, which is often delimited by governmental policies, competing entrepreneurial activities and social …
The Physical Economy of France (1830–2015). The History of a Parasite?
2019
Abstract This article explores long-term trends and patterns of material use in France for a 185-year period. It is the first long-term study of material flows for France with national and yearly data for most of the period. Based on a material flow analysis (MFA) that is fully consistent with current standards of economy-wide MFAs and covers domestic extraction, imports, and exports of materials, we investigated the evolution of the French metabolism from industrialization to financialized capitalism. Over the whole period, there is a 9-fold increase in domestic material consumption, an expansion of material use per capita, and a spectacular addition of abiotic resources (fossil fuels and …
A set of indices to assess the real performance of daylight-linked control systems
2017
Abstract The installation of Building Automation Control Systems (BACs) in general is an effective action to achieve relevant energy savings. Commercial BACs, installed in residential or small offices, often include functions of lighting control, acting as Daylight-Linked Control Systems (DLCSs). Nevertheless, because system performance is strictly dependent on different parameters, BAC’s hardware and software configuration and as well as an inaccurate commissioning do not always allow a perfect execution of the desired tasks; therefore, the system could not work as expected. Moreover, it is well known that energy saving potential is specifically related to the variability of the light envi…
Neuromuscular function during drop jumps in young and elderly males
2011
The Hoffman reflex (H-reflex), indicating alpha-motoneuron pool activity, has been shown to be task - and in resting conditions - age dependent. How aging affects H-reflex activity during explosive movements is not clear at present. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of aging on H-reflexes during drop jumps, and its possible role in drop jump performance. Ten young (26.8 ± 2.7 years) and twenty elderly (64.2 ± 2.7 years) subjects participated in the study. Maximal drop jump performance and soleus H-reflex response (H/M jump) 20 ms after ground contact were measured in a sledge ergometer. Maximal H-reflex, maximal M-wave, Hmax/Mmax-ratio and H-reflex excitability curves wer…
Transformative Teaching and Learning Through Engaged Practice : Lecturers’ and Students’ Experiences in a University and Underserved Community Partne…
2018
peer-reviewed The Community Wellness, Empowerment, Leadership and Lifeskills (CWell) program is a two-year community-driven program developed in partnership between an underserved-community in Limerick City, and staff at the University of Limerick (UL), Ireland. This paper explores the transformative teaching and learning experiences that arose throughout the duration of the progam for the lecturers and students. Data were collected through interviews and focus groups with lecturers and students involved in the program. Students supported the notion of “learning differently” and focused around prior learning and attitude to learning, learning about learning and impact of learning. Lecturers…
