L'ordinamento giudiziario. Ciclo di seminari (Palermo, marzo-maggio, 2018)
2019
The collected contributions constitute the backbone of a series of seminars on the “Judiciary rules”, which took place in the spring of 2018 in the context of the master's degree course in Law of the University of Palermo. The volume aims to offer the trainee lawyer a closer look at a profile not always investigated of the jurisdictional activity: that of the constitution and functioning of the offices of the ordinary judiciary. Even in their unity, the issues addressed can ideally be divided into two thematic areas: the first aims to provide a general view of the system; the second is dedicated to the analysis of specialized sections and the honorary judiciary. In the appendix, the feature…
EL PAPEL DE LAS CIUDADES EN LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE LA NACIÓN
2011
Una de las cuestiones importantes que surgieron en el periodo crucial 1810-1812 fue el de la legitimidad y la de la gobernabilidad. ¿Quién gobierna y en nombre de quién?, como ya planteó F.X. Guerra. Las ciudades reasumieron la soberanía y estuvieron al frente de las reivindicaciones nacionalistas. Ausente el monarca, se decide que la soberanía debe volver al pueblo de donde surgió. Ante la situación que vivía España elmundo americano se dividió de la misma manera que en la metrópoli. La disolución de la Junta Central y la constitución del controvertido Consejo de Regencia, conmovió a la sociedad americana y esa inquietud se reflejó en los cabildos. La ciudad como centro articulador y el p…
Public Employees as Politicians: Evidence from Close Elections
2017
We analyze the effect of municipal employees’ political representation in municipal councils on local public spending. We use within-party, as-good-as-random variation in close elections in the Finnish open-list proportional election system to quantify the effect. One more councilor employed by the public sector increases spending by about 1%. The effect comes largely through the largest party and is specific to the employment sector of the municipal employee. The results are consistent with public employees having an information advantage over other politicians, and thus, being able to influence policy.
Jāzeps Rancāns un uzsaukums vēlēšanām Eslingenē
2021
Raksts satur informāciju par Latvijas Universitātes Muzeja LU vēstures kolekcijas krājumā esošo Latvijas Centrālās padomes locekļa Jāzepa Rancāna vēlēšanu uzsaukumu Eslingenes latviešiem, kuri nonāca trimdā sakarā ar otrreizējo PSRS okupāciju pēc Otrā pasaules kara. Blakus Eslingenes vēlēšanu uzsaukuma analīzei tiek analizēt arī paša J. Rancāna personības loma Latvijas valsts un LU vēsturē, sasaistot ar Romas katoļu baznīcas lomu Latvijas politiskajā un sabiedriskajā dzīvē.
Romania: Regional Persistence in a Highly Nationalized Party System
2017
Romania has a nationalized party system whereby the effective number of parliamentary parties has gone down and the left-right dimension of political competition has become consolidated. Statewide parties manage to electorally homogenize the electorate through using a similar electoral system for regional and national elections and by holding regional elections just before national elections. However, in this chapter, we also find that regional parties are persistently present in some regions and some of them mobilize voters along an ethno-cultural dimension. These regional parties do not only have an important impact at the regional level by offering alternative policy options but they are…
Post-remission treatment with allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients aged 60 years and older with acute myeloid leukaemia: a time-dependent…
2015
Summary Background Acute myeloid leukaemia mainly affects elderly people, with a median age at diagnosis of around 70 years. Although about 50–60% of patients enter first complete remission upon intensive induction chemotherapy, relapse remains high and overall outcomes are disappointing. Therefore, effective post-remission therapy is urgently needed. Although often no post-remission therapy is given to elderly patients, it might include chemotherapy or allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) following reduced-intensity conditioning. We aimed to assess the comparative value of allogeneic HSCT with other approaches, including no post-remission therapy, in patients with acute…
Do firms benefit from interactions with public research organisations beyond innovation? An analysis of small firms
2021
Abstract In this paper we argue that there is an extensive number of studies examining how firms obtain new products from their interactions with scientific agents, but other type of benefits has been overlooked. Specifically, we add to previous literature by considering not only product innovation, but also exploratory (long-term) and exploitative (short-term) results. We administer a tailored survey to firms collaborating with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and data was completed with secondary sources. Results based on a sample of 756 firms suggest that firms consider all types of result as moderately important to them. Moreover, we observe that small firms report higher be…
Pero Tafur y Bertrandon de la Broquière en Constantinopla : la imagen ceremonial de María de Trebisonda y los encuentros diplomáticos en torno al con…
2018
Tras la caída de Constantinopla (1453), Pero Tafur y Bertrandon de La Broquière difunden sus libros de viajes, dos de los más importantes europeos escritos en el siglo XV. Ambos habían conocido, entre quince y veinte años antes, al emperador de Grecia, Juan VIII Paleólogo, al Papa Eugenio IV y a otros protagonistas de los concilios de Basilea (1431-1434) y Ferrara-Florencia (1438-1439), que decretaron la unión entre las iglesias romana y griega. Los viajeros fueron, así, testigos, pero también informantes y diplomáticos activos para los intentos de unión religiosa y política, que trató de reavivar el Papa Pio II tras la caída de Constantinopla (1453). Tafur y La Broquière conocieron en Cons…
