Gobernanza territorial para el desarrollo sostenible : estado de la cuestión y agenda
2008
Joaquin.Farinos@uv.es La gobernanza territorial se ha convertido en el instrumento en el que se encuentran depositadas las esperanzas de una más efectiva gestión y gobierno de las políticas de desarrollo territorial. A lo largo del presente texto, en los sucesivos epígrafes, se analizan sus puntos fuertes y limitaciones; las estratégicas relaciones dialécticas –en ascendente sinergia– entre la gobernanza territorial, los objetivos de Lisboa y la cohesión territorial; porqué la planificación del desarrollo territorial sostenible es uno de los campos predilectos de aplicación de nuevas formas de gobernanza (entre ellos el Método Abierto de coordinación). Cierra el artículo una interpretación …

Free movement of services in the European Union and in the Eurasian Economic Union. Similarities and differences
2017
The European Union (EU) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) are international organizations integrating member states, primarily in the economic field. Both organizations guarantee four economic freedoms: free movement of goods, services, labor, and capital. One of these freedoms:free movement of services is particularly important. It should be noted that within the customs union of the EU and the EAEU the internal customs barriers have been eliminated, and for the exchange of services between these organizations, only the borders between the two unions remain an obstacle. For this reason, legal regulations concerning the free movement of services in the EU and the EAEU determine the opp…
CONCESSIONI DEMANIALI MARITTIME E DIRITTO EUROUNITARIO: LA FINE DEL TEMPO DELLE MORE
2023
Il contributo analizza il frammentario quadro normativo delle concessioni demaniali marittime, lacuali e fluviali con finalità turistico-ricreativa alla luce degli orientamenti della giurisprudenza domestica, con le significative pronunce del Consiglio di Stato e di quella della Corte di Giustizia dell’Unione europea, in particolare della recentissima sentenza 20 aprile 2023 (C-348/22).
The evolution of technological inequalities: country effect vs industry composition
2013
PurposeUsing the EU‐KLEMS database for 12 countries and 16 industries, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the differences in technological capital intensity (R&D capital stock as a percentage of GVA) between industries and the evolution of inequalities between the EU‐11 and the USA, as well as between EU countries.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use shift‐share analysis and a Theil inequality index to break down these inequalities and to quantify the importance of either a country or a specialization effect.FindingsResults from the shift‐share analysis show that there was a technological gap in favor of the USA until the mid‐1990s linked to the greater accumulation of techno…
ANALYSIS OF A RECIPROCATE ENGINE–BASED COGENERATION PLANT WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE HEAT RECOVERY FOR INDUSTRIAL USES
2012
In consequence of the increasing awareness on the future scarcity of fossil energy sources and the global warming impact of energy conversion processes, the European Union has been planning several actions to enhance the efficiency of energy use and reduce the environmental impact. The declared goals of EU actions are synthetized in the 20-20-20 formula, consisting of an expected 20% increase of energy efficiency, a 20% contribution to the total energy supply by renewable sources and a 20% abatement of pollutant emissions. Applications of cogeneration in process industry can significantly contribute to achieve these targets. In this paper a reciprocate engine-based Combined Heat and Power (…
The photovoltaic growth in the European Union requires stronger RES support
2016
Since the adoption of the EU Directive, 2001/77/EC, the production of electricity from renewable energy sources has progressed. Apart from the indicative target proposed by the Directive, actually no other tools of policy monitoring exist. To fill this gap, we propose a dynamic method able to capture this multidimensional phenomenon, providing an assessment tool to measure the technical efficiency performances of EU countries in the photovoltaic sector (1996–2010). Results show how technical efficiencies of countries are, from one hand, due to problems belonging to the economic and political contexts in which they operate, on the other hand driven by specific political support schemes adopt…
Combined Forward-Backward Asymmetry Measurements in Top-Antitop Quark Production at the Tevatron
2018
The CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron have measured the asymmetry between yields of forward- and backward-produced top and antitop quarks based on their rapidity difference and the asymmetry between their decay leptons. These measurements use the full data sets collected in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s=1.96 TeV. We report the results of combinations of the inclusive asymmetries and their differential dependencies on relevant kinematic quantities. The combined inclusive asymmetry is At¯tFB=0.128±0.025. The combined inclusive and differential asymmetries are consistent with recent standard model predictions.
Methane oxidation at a surface-sealed boreal landfill.
2009
Abstract Methane oxidation was studied at a closed boreal landfill (area 3.9 ha, amount of deposited waste 200,000 tonnes) equipped with a passive gas collection and distribution system and a methane oxidative top soil cover integrated in a European Union landfill directive-compliant, multilayer final cover. Gas wells and distribution pipes with valves were installed to direct landfill gas through the water impermeable layer into the top soil cover. Mean methane emissions at the 25 measuring points at four measurement times (October 2005–June 2006) were 0.86–6.2 m 3 ha −1 h −1 . Conservative estimates indicated that at least 25% of the methane flux entering the soil cover at the measuring…
Suomen ja Ruotsin välisen rajan merkitys Tornionjokilaaksossa : tapauskohteena Kolarin lukion nuoret ja EU-rahoitteisen Interreg III A -yhteistyöproj…
2008
Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää millainen merkitys Ruotsin ja Suomen rajalla on Tornionjokilaaksossa. Alueen yhteisölisyys yli rajan kesti vuosisatojen ajan. Myöhemmin valtioiden kansallistamistoimien myötä raja on kuitenkin noussut erottavampaan asemaan. Nykyään EU:n hallinnollisten toimien kautta pyritään uudelleen luomaan yhteisöllisyys, joka nousi aikaisemmin alueen väestön arjen keskuudesta itsestään. Tutkimuksessa vertaillaan keskenään alueen nykynuorten ja hallinnollisen päätöksenteon muodostamia käsityksiä rajan merkittävyydestä. Lähtökohta on, että hallinnollisella tasolla raja näyttäytyy yhteistyöalueena, kun taas arjen keskellä rajan sanotaan nousseen erottavampaan asemaan. Ai…
