The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of adopting a medium-term budgetary framework by Romania and the role that…
Muscular Strength Imbalances Are not Associated with Skin Temperature Asymmetries in Soccer Players
2020
Although strength imbalances using isokinetic dynamometer have been examined for injury risk screening in soccer players, it is very expensive and time-consuming, making the evaluation of new methods appealing. The aim of the study was to analyze the agreement between muscular strength imbalances and skin temperature bilateral asymmetries as well as skin temperature differences in the hamstrings and quadriceps. The skin temperature of the anterior and posterior thigh of 59 healthy male soccer athletes was assessed at baseline using infrared thermography for the identification of hamstrings-quadriceps skin temperature differences and thermal asymmetries (>

"LA FINANZA PER L'ESTERO:IL PUNTO DI VISTA DELLE BANCHE LOCALI E DELLE PMI MARCHIGIANE"
2009
Questo studio descrive la relazione tra funzione finanziaria e strategie di internazionalizzazione delle PMI, visto che non risulta possibile tracciare una netta linea di demarcazione tra aspetti finanziari e di economia reale, soprattutto a seguito delle sfide competitive lanciate dalla globalizzazione e dalla diffusione di un nuovo modo di concepire il rapporto banca-impresa secondo le regole di Basilea 2. Un’attenta analisi degli aspetti attinenti sia all’offerta da parte delle banche locali della Regione Marche di prodotti/servizi finanziari volti a favorire l’ingresso delle PMI nei mercati esteri, in modo da poter valutare quanto tali prodotti/servizi siano conosciuti dalle banche loca…
Las creencias del profesorado y la educación del cuerpo : aproximación histórico-sensible y descriptivo-comprensiva a las creencias fundantes de la i…
2013
La investigación parte de dos presupuestos epistemológicos. El primero, tiene que ver con la revalorización de los estudios históricos de la vida escolar; en este caso de la presencia oculta o visible de lo corporal en la escuela básica primaria. En los últimos tiempos ha ido ganado presencia en el ámbito educativo un estímulo burocrático relacionado con la desmemoria educativa conveniente (reformas sin memoria). Atreve Gimeno (1999), que el “porvenir” solo puede rellenarse desde el presente con proyectos, y estos se enraízan en los ideales del pasado y del presente. Creemos que la proyección de la educación del cuerpo y sus procesos de curricularización (selección cultural) pasa por una co…

Literatura encarnada: modelos de corporalidad femenina en la Edad Moderna.
2002
Partiendo de un triple presupuesto teórico y metodológico. En primer lugar, se sostiene que es posible escribir una historia del cuerpo, de aquello que, aparentemente, se presenta como una realidad natural, dada y, por tanto, ajena a la historia. Se afirma, en segundo lugar, que esa historia del cuerpo debe situar en su centro las formas en que se construye socialmente la diferencia de los sexos. Y se defiende, por último, que ese proceso puede abordarse tomando la literatura como fuente histórica.
Machine Translation and Gender biases in video game localisation: a corpus-based analysis
2021
The video game industry has been a historically gender-biased terrain due to a higher number of male protagonists and hypersexualised representations [Dietz, 1998; Downs & Smith, 2010; Lynch et al., 2016]. Nowadays, echoing the debate on inclusive language, companies attempt to erase gender disparity by introducing main female characters as well as non-binary characters. From a technological point of view, even though recent studies show that Machine Translation remains largely unadopted by individual video game localisers [Rivas Ginel, 2021], multilanguage vendors are willing to invest in these tools to reduce costs [LIND, 2020]. However, the predominance of the masculine in Natural La…
