L'espace de liberté comme mesure synthétique du développement territorial durable
2011
By discussing the concept of development itself, authors propose two synthetic indexes relying on estimation of potential: Development Space Value and Development Space Creation Under the weak hypothesis that any successful development improves future possibilities, changes in potential are a good development measure. In their path, authors show how development space is tied with freedom: a shrink in it results mechanically in indexes fall. So, "sustainable" and "economic" become two sides of same piece rather than enemies. Reliable in simulations, the approach is to be tested in real conditions, to verify full data availability and to secure calculating methods.
Ethical issues in the teaching and learning of health topics in schools: the conceptions of teacher trainees
2013
There has been little research on how teacher trainees can be educated to deal with ethical issues, or on trainees' conceptions of these issues. Using written essays, this study aimed to examine health education teacher trainees' (N = 35) conceptions of the ethical aspects involved in teaching and learning health topics. A qualitative content analysis revealed three broad themes: health education as an ethical subject, the teacher as an ethical professional, and spaces for learning. The results reflect the content areas focused on in health education teacher training, and provide new insights into topics that can be useful in developing teacher training. peerReviewed
Effects of home-based physical exercise on days at home, healthcare utilization and functional independence among patients with hip fractures : a ran…
2021
Objective To evaluate the effects of a physical exercise program on days lived at home, the use and costs of healthcare and social services mortality and functional independence among patients with hip fractures. Design Randomized controlled trial with parallel two-group design, consisting of a 12-month intervention and 12-month registry follow-up. Setting Home-based intervention. Participants Patients with operated hip fracture, living at home, aged ≥60 years, randomized into physical-exercise (n=61) or usual-care (n=60) groups. Intervention Supervised physical exercise twice a week. Main Outcome Measures The primary outcome was the number of days lived at home over 24 months. Secondary ou…
The Work of Hermeneutic Phenomenology
2020
This paper is an illustration of the application of a hermeneutic phenomenological study. The theory of meaning and interpretation, drawing on philosophical hermeneutics and the work of Gadamer and Heidegger, and its alignment with phenomenological thought is presented. The paper explains and aims to make visible how key concerns in relation to the fusion of horizons, hermeneutic understanding, hermeneutic circle and hermeneutic phenomenological attitude were implemented. The purpose is to provide practical guidance and illustrate a fully worked up example of hermeneutic phenomenological work as research praxis. This present paper makes a case that hermeneutic phenomenological work is deta…
Axiology of the historial city and the cap rate. The case of the old town of Ragusa Superiore
2017
Il contributo affronta il tema del ruolo che il mercato immobiliare assume nei processi di valorizzazione dei tessuti urbani storici nella logica dell’approccio al valor capitale. L’articolazione, eterogeneità e multi-contestualità del patrimonio immobiliare della città storica, la molteplicità delle relazioni tra valori e prezzo, la complessa dialettica fondo/flusso, l’eterogeneità dei profili dei soggetti economici che interagiscono nel mercato, danno vita ad un assortimento di approcci all’investimento immobiliare che in questo contributo, attraverso l’analisi del saggio di capitalizzazione si intendono rappresentare. La convergenza tra valori di contesto e potenzialità inespresse da una…

La falta de reproducibilitat de la investigació: L'estadística com a legitimació del resultat
2014
La investigació científica es legitima mitjançant la replicació dels seus resultats, però els esforços per replicar afirmacions enganyoses exhaureixen el finançament. Ens centrarem en una d’aquestes errades: els resultats de proves estadístiques que ofereixen falsos positius a causa de l’atzar. Els mètodes estadístics clàssics confien en un p-valor per a ponderar les proves enfront d’una hipòtesi nul·la, però les proves d’hipòtesis bayesianes ofereixen resultats més fàcils de comprendre, sempre que hom puga especificar distribucions a priori per a la hipòtesi alternativa. Descriurem noves proves, les UMPBT, tests bayesians que ofereixen una especificació per defecte de les alternatives a pr…
Toward modernizing the systematic review pipeline in genetics: efficient updating via data mining
2012
Purpose: The aim of this study was to demonstrate that modern data mining tools can be used as one step in reducing the labor necessary to produce and maintain systematic reviews. Methods: We used four continuously updated, manually curated resources that summarize MEDLINE-indexed articles in entire fields using systematic review methods (PDGene, AlzGene, and SzGene for genetic determinants of Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, and schizophrenia, respectively; and the Tufts Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) Registry for cost-effectiveness analyses). In each data set, we trained a classification model on citations screened up until 2009. We then evaluated the ability of the model to class…

La destrucció del patrimoni artístic i la seua reconstrucció. Un exercici de microhistòria: el cas de Llíria i la Confraria de la Sang (1936-1949)
2020
The problem of artistic destruction and its reconstruction has been little studied. Using a microhistorical analysis method, we study the town of Lliria (Valencia) and its brotherhood of ?La Sang de Jesucrist? (had a great heritage from the 16th to the 19th centuries), and we also analyze how and why this destruction and reconstruction was generated during the context of the civil war. We use and combine different sources (public of the ?Causa General? and private of the ?Minute Books?) for this research, with the intention of specifying the analysis of this complex process. We also explain social and artistic relationships of these two processes, that help us study the workshops of the mos…
