Comparative studies of water governance: a systematic review
2018
[EN] Governance is key to tackling water challenges and transforming water management under the increasing pressures of competing water uses and climate change. Diverse water governance regimes have evolved in different countries and regions to regulate the development and management of water resources and the provision of water services. Scholars and policy analysts have been comparing these water governance regimes to analyze elements and processes, to assess performance, or to draw lessons. Although the number of such studies has increased since the 1980s, no comprehensive synthesis exists. We present such a synthesis by conducting a systematic review of the emerging field of comparative…
Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies six novel loci associated with habitual coffee consumption
2015
Contains fulltext : 155360.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Coffee, a major dietary source of caffeine, is among the most widely consumed beverages in the world and has received considerable attention regarding health risks and benefits. We conducted a genome-wide (GW) meta-analysis of predominately regular-type coffee consumption (cups per day) among up to 91,462 coffee consumers of European ancestry with top single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) followed-up in ~30 062 and 7964 coffee consumers of European and African-American ancestry, respectively. Studies from both stages were combined in a trans-ethnic meta-analysis. Confirmed loci were examined for putative functional and b…
L'identité de Fay en théorie des systèmes intégrables
2011
Fay's identity on Riemann surfaces is a powerful tool in the context of algebro-geometric solutions to integrable equations. This relation generalizes a well-known identity for the cross-ratio function in the complex plane. It allows to establish relations between theta functions and their derivatives. This offers a complementary approach to algebro-geometric solutions of integrable equations with certain advantages with respect to the use of Baker-Akhiezer functions. It has been successfully applied by Mumford et al. to the Korteweg-de Vries, Kadomtsev-Petviashvili and sine-Gordon equations. Following this approach, we construct algebro-geometric solutions to the Camassa-Holm and Dym type …
La configuración formal de las palabras idiomáticas originadas por acortamiento en locuciones en español: los casos de amén, estampía, mor y ton
2022
En el presente artículo pretendemos analizar la configuración formal con la que han quedado fijadas cuatro palabras idiomáticas (amén, estampía, mor y ton) que se han formado mediante aféresis, síncopa y apócope, es decir, procesos de acortamiento o eliminación de un fragmento respecto a una base originaria. Nos centraremos en fenómenos habituales que presentan este tipo de voces así formadas, como la estructura silábica, la acentuación paroxítona o la dislocación acentual respecto a sus bases. Reservamos para estudios futuros un análisis fraseológico centrado en los sintagmas y funciones de las cinco locuciones que estas conforman. The aim of this paper is to analyze the morphology of four…
Survival analysis of author keywords: An application to the library and information sciences area
2020
[EN] Our purpose is to adapt a statistical method for the analysis of discrete numerical series to the keywords appearing in scientific articles of a given area. As an example, we apply our methodological approach to the study of the keywords in the Library and Information Sciences (LIS) area. Our objective is to detect the new author keywords that appear in a fixed knowledge area in the period of 1 year in order to quantify the probabilities of survival for 10 years as a function of the impact of the journals where they appeared. Many of the new keywords appearing in the LIS field are ephemeral. Actually, more than half are never used again. In general, the terms most commonly used in the …
Semantic retrieval: an approach to representing, searching and summarising text documents
2011
Nowadays, the internet is the major source of information for millions of people. There are many search tools available on the net but finding appropriate text information is still difficult. The retrieval efficiency of the presently used systems cannot be significantly improved: ‘bag of words’ interpretation causes losing semantics of texts. We applied the functional approach to represent English text documents. It allows taking into account semantic relations between words when indexing documents and use ordinary English sentences as queries to a search engine. The proposed retrieval mechanisms return only highly relevant documents. They make it possible to generate content-aware summarie…
A critical analysis of corruption and anti-corruption policies in Italy
2020
Purpose This study aims to critically analyse the Law 9 January 2019, n. 3, on “Measures to fight crimes against the public administration and on the transparency of political parties and movements” (so-called bribe-destroyer law). Design/methodology/approach This paper draws on reports, legal scholarship and other open-source data to examine a legislative innovation for the corruption in Italy in relation to the general guarantees of the trial process and with the controversial paradigm of the national perception index of bribery. Findings The Italian legislative initiative that will be examined is innovative in nature and goes beyond the constitutional and conventional principles on proc…
Pas de titre
2011
A number of phonetic and phonological changes have lately been observed in most geographical varieties of British English. This phenomenon seems to have been accelerated by increasing social and geographical mobility in the past decades. Based on a corpus mainly consisting of several hours of spontaneous interaction between a number of native NW Yorkshire speakers divided into different age groups, this research identifies and analyses several segmental and suprasegmental innovations observed in apparent time in a set of accents associated with a circumscribed geographical area. This thesis discusses the motivation behind some of these changes and addresses the question of whether the same …
Pedagogia Social i investigació aplicada. Aproximació a una dècada de quefer universitari a Galícia
2012
Aquest article presenta els elements clau de sis projectes d'investigació alicada dins la realitat local gallega entre els anys 2001 i 2011. Tots ells han sigut realitzats pel grup SEPA (Pedagogia Social i Educació Ambiental) de la Universitat de Santiago de Compostela en conveni amb diverses entitats; en els casos que s'analitzen, ajuntaments, Diputació, Fundació Ciutat de la Cultura de Galicia i Eix Atlàntic del Nord-oest Peninsular. També s'ofereix una reflexió des de l'experiència respecte al potencial i las limitacions d'aquesta mena d'investigació.
Gli ebrei in Italia, il dibattito su Israele e la questione ebraica. Quattro riflessioni recenti
2022
La storia degli ebrei nell'Italia contemporanea è stata molto discussa dalla recente storiografia. In questa nota si prendono in esame quattro libri pubblicati tra il 2018 e il 2020 che affrontano il tema da prospettive differenti come il ruolo politico degli ebrei nell'Italia liberale e negli anni della grande guerra, la storia delle persecuzioni in età fascista, il problematico avvento della Repubblica, la raffigurazione degli ebrei e di Israele nelle sinistre italiane e la più generale percezione di Israele nel mondo politico e culturale italiano.
