Organización del tiempo de sueño y descanso en la educación preprimaria de Suecia y España. Una lectura desde el bienestar de la primera infancia
2021
Los tiempos de sueño y descanso juegan un papel fundamental en el bienestar y el aprendizaje de los niños y niñas más pequeños. La gestión del tiempo escolar, que es organizado por los sistemas educativos, afecta a las horas de instrucción del alumnado o al régimen de organización de la jornada lectiva, así como a los momentos dedicados al descanso y a las funciones vitales (comer, dormir, etc.). Este artículo se centra en el análisis normativo en el nivel estatal en España y Suecia en relación con estas cuestiones pedagógicas. Los resultados muestran cómo ambos sistemas educativos organizan el tiempo escolar de forma variable, lo que se traduce en diferentes organizaciones del tiempo, espa…

Internationalisation process of Spanish banks: strategic orientation after the mergers
2003
The present globalisation of the economy is one of the main forces driving the internationalisation process of firms, a phenomenon that has been one of the most widely studied in the literature and which has given rise to numerous explanatory theories. The manufacturing sectors of machinery, food, textiles, furniture have already consolidated their presence in international markets, induced by the increased competition deriving from liberalisation of foreign trade and the desire to conquer new markets. If in manufacturing sectors globalisation has been high, the service sector has not been far behind. One of the sectors that has been most influenced by changes in the competitive framework i…
The economic metaphor of Italian politics for dynamic coalition regeneration in the robocup competition of Aibo robots
2005
The variation version of the economic metaphor of Italian politics, an architecture that loosely takes inspiration from the political organizations of democratic governments, following the example of Italian government, and which provides a solution for the coordination of a spare colony of robots, is competent to allow the coordination of the behaviors of a team of four robots in order to play soccer in the Robocup competition. The development of an evolution of economic metaphor of Italian politics is now outlined. This new approach proposes a mechanism to make a new coalition caused by the failure of the government strategy and by a general inefficiency of the whole colony during the rea…
Interspecific hybridisation among diverse Saccharomyces species: A combined biotechnological solution for low-temperature and nitrogen-limited wine f…
2019
Lack of the prezygotic barrier in the Saccharomyces genus facilitates the construction of artificial interspecific hybrids among different Saccharomyces species. Hybrids that maintain the interesting features of parental strains have been applied in industry for many beneficial purposes. Two of the most important problems faced by wine makers is nitrogen deficiency in grape must and low-temperature fermentation. In our study, hybrids were constructed by using selected low nitrogen-demanding cryotolerant S. eubayanus, S. uvarum strains and S. cerevisiae. The fermentation capacity of the hybrid strains was tested under four conditions by combining two temperatures, 12 °C and 28 °C, and two ni…
Competición intrasexual en el trabajo: diferencias sexuales en celos y envidia en el trabajo
2012
ResumenDesde una perspectiva evolucionista, este articulo aborda las diferencias sexuales en las caracteristicas del rival que provocan celos y envidia en el trabajo, y como se relacionan con la competicion intrasexual. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 114 trabajadores de diferentes sectores profesionales. Los rivales provocaron mas celos y envidia en las mujeres que en los hombres cuando eran fisicamente atractivos. En ambos sexos, las habilidades sociales y el poder social y dominancia fueron las caracteristicas del rival que provocaron mas celos y envidia. En las mujeres, los celos provocados por el atractivo fisico del rival se relacionaron con la competicion intrasexual, mientras que en…
The entangled scalarities of football clubs in a competitive metropolitan space: investment, identity and international events
2021
Football clubs located within competitive metropolitan spaces and owned by local municipalities develop their socio-spatiality through strong multiscalarities. Drawing from the sociology of footbal...
Morphological Enhancement and Triangular Matching for Fingerprint Recognition
2008
Among the principal problems for realizing a robust Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) there are the images quality and matching algorithms. In this paper a fingerprint enhancement algorithm based on morphological filter and a triangular matching are introduced. The enhancement phase is based on tree steps: directional decomposition, morphological filter and composition. For the matching phase a global transformation to overcame the effects of rotation, displacement and deformation between acquired and stored fingerprint is performed using the number of similar triangular, having fingerprint minutiae as vertexes. The performance of the proposed approach has been evaluated on…
Resource Allocation for Edge Computing-Based Blockchain: A Game Theoretic Approach
2020
Blockchain has been progressively applied to various Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. As the efficiency of the blockchain depends on its computing capability, how to make sure the acquisition of the computational resources and participation of the devices would be the driving force. In this work, an edge computing-based blockchain network is considered, where the edge service provider (ESP) offers computational resources for the miners. The focus is to investigate an efficient incentive mechanism for the miners to purchase the computational resources. Accordingly, a two-stage Stackelberg game is formulated between the miners and ESP. By exploring the Stackelberg equilibrium of the optima…
Lost in space? The concepts of planetary phenomena held by trainee primary school teachers
1997
The teaching of science in primary education has, at least according to the behaviourist tradition, sought to eliminate pupils’ faulty conceptualisations of scientific phenomena. This paper suggests that such conceptualisations are an integral part of learning and should be encouraged. The paper begins by reporting on an experiment originally developed to elicit information on the various concepts of planetary phenomena held by prospective primary school teachers in Finland. Through examining their conceptions, however, students became aware of their own cognitive processes and the underlying logic and consistency of their thinking. The paper suggests that this awareness and the methodology…
