Educar para la salud en tiempos de pandemia

2021

La experiencia de la pandemia que estamos viviendo exige repensar la educación para la salud. En este trabajo lo hacemos a partir de dos conceptos procedentes de la Declaración Universal de los Derecho Humanos: primero, entender que el fin de la educación es el pleno desarrollo de la persona; y segundo, que los deberes para con la comunidad contribuyen a ese desarrollo. A partir de ellos, defendemos una concepción de la educación para la salud basada en el carácter relacional del ser humano, en la relevancia de los determinantes sociales de la salud y en los peligros del entorno digital, a pesar de los enormes beneficios que ha aportado durante la pandemia.

Moros y cristianos. De la batalla festiva a la discursiva

2008

Hace poco más de un año se acordaba en España admitir a trámite en el Congreso de los Diputados la proposición no de ley del Grupo Parlamentario Popular relativa a la proclamación de las "fiestas de moros y cristianos" como obras maestras del patrimonio oral e inmaterial de la humanidad. La solicitud se contextualiza en la democratización y universalización que el patrimonio ha experimentado y se explica por la vertiente cada vez más mercantilista de los procesos de patrimonialización. En el caso que nos ocupa la presentación estuvo envuelta en una interesante discusión política sobre la "tradición", la "libertad" y la "amenaza". Este artículo analiza la polémica sobre estas fiestas y su pr…

How does the journal impact factor affect the CV of PhD students?

2014

In his editorial “Dear DORA”, Howy Jacobs commented on the recent San Francisco Declaration of Research Assessment (DORA) to address the misuse of the journal impact factor (IF) and discussed alternatives. DORA stipulates that the IF must not be used as a surrogate measure of the quality of individual research articles, or to assess an individual scientist's contributions in hiring, promotion and funding decisions. DORA and many other commentators, such as Howy Jacobs, therefore advocate the use of additional, alternative metrics and other measures to make a more fair and realistic judgment about the quality of a scientist's or …

2018

La produccion agraria en fresco para el consumo de proximidad se plantea como una opcion para el mantenimiento de la Huerta como paisaje unico y como una estrategia complementaria de desarrollo (Especializacion Inteligente). El nuevo plan subregional de ordenacion del territorio de la Huerta de Valencia, y la ley que lo acompana, ponen en primer plano la recuperacion del valor productivo de este espacio como parte de la nueva Infraestructura Verde. En el articulo estas cuestiones se ponen en relacion con la declaracion de Valencia como capital mundial de la alimentacion; un ejemplo de «reconversion» de la estrategia de grandes eventos del pasado, pero con una orientacion diametralmente opue…

POEMS: A Case Study of an Italian Wine-Producing Firm

2006

Over the last decade, researchers paid much attention to concepts such as Design for Environment, Extended Producer Responsibility, Responsible Chain Management, and Eco-design. Many management tools and standards (such as EMAS, ISO 14001, LCA, EPD, Ecolabel) have been developed to support companies in the evaluation and management of their environmental performance and to pursue continual environmental improvement. The more recent development of the aforesaid fields looks at interorganizational environmental management. Such an approach can complement the more traditional intraorganizational corporate environmental management approaches and tools. A typical example of this new trend is the…

Constitutional rules and competitive politics: their effects on secessionism

2002

Albert Breton and Pierre Salmon argue that the effects of constitutiona l rules depend on the nature of political competition and on some meta-rules that contain procedures regulating the application and the modification of constitutiona l rules. They outline two models of competition - electoral competition and compound government competition - and describe the nature of the transactions between the parties involved in the two corresponding settings. In both, the transactions are over constitutional rules and ordinary goods and services, all of which are arguments in the utility functions of citizens. To make the discussion more concrete, the paper focuses on the demand for political auton…

Tax Burden, as Determining Factor of Tax Morale in Romania and European Union

2020

Tax burden and tax morale are economic variables that influence each other. Tax morale is one of the basic components of compliance decisions and fiscal pressure expresses the intensity with which revenue from taxpayers is collected from individuals and legal persons. The tax morale determines the taxpayer to voluntarily comply with the declaration and payment of taxes due to the budget. Any form of collection, other than voluntary compliance, entails additional costs that implicitly increase budget expenditures, and consequently reduce the standard of living. The creation and proper functioning of a control system, as well as voluntary compliance are imperative for achieving a high level o…

Future Research in Graves' Orbitopathy: From Priority Setting to Trial Design Through Patient and Public Involvement

2015

Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is a disfiguring autoimmune condition, which can sometimes cause blindness (1). The disease has profound effects on quality of life (2), psychological health (3), and socioeconomic status (4). Progress in understanding and treating this disease has been slow. However, recent advances include delineation of plausible immunological mechanisms (5), development of an animal model (6), and publication of randomized studies defining the role and limitations of intravenous steroids (7), rituximab (8,9), and selenium (10). Yet, some of this knowledge remains to be translated into improvement in clinical care. Access of patients to specialist treatments is patchy and seems t…
