La rigidité du cadre constitutionnel espagnol en ce qui concerne la répartition territoriale du pouvoir et le processus catalan de «déconnexion»
2016
Le processus démocratique que les institutions catalanes ont commencé avec l'intention de "déconnecter" de la réalité constitutionnelle et juridique espagnole, visant la création d'une République catalane, garde le cap après les élections régionales qui ont eu lieu en septembre 2015. Le renforcement du mouvement indépendantiste en Catalogne, au point d'être devenu presque majoritaire, ne peut être expliqué que par un défaut de fonctionnement du modèle constitutionnel espagnol de répartition territoriale du pouvoir. Ce modèle, créé par la Constitution espagnole de 1978, est le produit d'une conception rigide de la question « nationale » et de l'unité de l'Espagne. Après 2006, les événements …
Safety and Tolerance Evaluation of Milk Fat Globule Membrane-Enriched Infant Formulas: A Randomized Controlled Multicenter Non-Inferiority Trial in H…
2014
ObjectiveThis multicenter non-inferiority study evaluated the safety of infant formulas enriched with bovine milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) fractions.MethodsHealthy, full-term infants ( n = 119) age ≤14 days were randomized to standard infant formula (control), standard formula enriched with a lipid-rich MFGM fraction (MFGM-L), or standard formula enriched with a protein-rich MFGM fraction (MFGM-P). Primary outcome was mean weight gain per day from enrollment to age 4 months (non-inferiority margin: –3.0 g/day). Secondary (length, head circumference, tolerability, morbidity, adverse events) and exploratory (phospholipids, metabolic markers, immune markers) outcomes were also evaluated.Res…
Conseqüències psicològiques i socials del fenomen del desnonament: un estudi qualitatiu
2016
espanolEl desahucio plantea problemas en la salud fisica y mental de los individuos, ademas de aumentar las desigualdades sociales. El objetivo de este estudio es ayudar a los profesionales que intervienen en esta problematica social, explorando su percepcion en relacion con este tema. Se ha llevado a cabo un estudio cualitativo, exploratorio y descriptivo. Se han desarrollado 1 Focus Group y 9 entrevistas en profundidad a profesionales «claves», regidores y politicos de Servicios de la administracion publica, tecnicos y/o trabajadores sociales y mediadores de conflictos sociales. El desalojo se percibe como un proceso de duelo, con un impacto emocional severo que afecta a la salud de la pe…
Mācību sasniegumus ietekmējošie faktori Latvijas vispārizglītojošās skolās
2017
Promocijas darba mērķis ir izpētīt datus par izglītojamo mācību sasniegumiem starptautiski salīdzinošajos izglītības pētījumos, valsts pārbaudes darbos un izglītojamo gada vērtējumiem mācību priekšmetos, sniegt rekomendācijas par iespējamiem Latvijas vispārējās izglītības optimizācijas virzieniem. Promocijas darba rezultātā ir izstrādāti ierosinājumi, kuru īstenošana ļautu paaugstināt izglītojamo mācību sasniegumus vispārējās izglītības posmā. Promocijas darbu veido ievads, sešas savstarpēji saistītas nodaļas par četrām tēmām un nobeigums. Atslēgas vārdi: vispārējā izglītība, izglītības sistēmas optimizācija, mācību sasniegumi, kavējumi, skolas un klases lielums, obligātās izglītības uzsākš…
Scientific productivity and collaboration in viticulture and enology in Latin American countries
2013
[EN] The aim of this study was to analyze the scientific activity of Latin American researchers in viticulture and oenology through bibliometric analyses of articles included in the Science Citation Index Expanded database for the period of 2006 to 2010. A total of 917 research articles were published in 364 domestic and international journals. We highlight the important growth in the number of research papers published during the period, especially in Brazil, Argentina and Chile, as well as an increasing number of international collaborations, mainly with non-American grape- and-wine producing countries. A social network analysis of collaborations between institutions and countries was als…
BEMOD: A DSGE Model for the Spanish Economy and the Rest of the Euro Area
2006
In this paper we present the theoretical foundations and the simulation results obtained with a new dynamic general equilibrium model developed at the Banco de España for the Spanish economy and the rest of Euro area. The model is designed to help in simulating the effect of alternative shocks on the main aggregate variables. The main contributions of this work from a theoretical perspective are the modelling of a monetary union composed of two regions, the inclusion of housing as a durable good with its own sector of production and the degree and detail of the disaggregation considered for each country in the model, which replicates the Quarterly National Accounts. On the empirical side, t…
Enhancing the user authentication process with colour memory cues
2022
The authentication process is the first line of defence against potential impostors, and therefore is an important concern when protecting personal and organisational data. Although there are many options to authenticate digital users, passwords remain the most common authentication mechanism. However, with password numbers increasing, many users struggle with remembering multiple passwords, which affects their security behaviour. Previous researchers and practitioners have attempted to suggest ways to improve password memorability and security simultaneously. We introduce novel approach that utilises colour as a memory cue to increase password memorability and security. A longitudinal stud…
Emotional Profile and Intellectual Functioning
2015
Insufficient literature has been produced addressing children with borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) and gifted intellectual functioning (GIF). The goal of this work is to compare levels of self-esteem, depression, anxiety at school, and insecurity among children with BIF and GIF, and a control group of average intellectual functioning (AIF). There were participants of 104 children (fourth grade of primary school). Analyses revealed that children with BIF showed a lower level of self-esteem and higher levels of depression and school anxiety. Moreover, our findings highlight the co-occurrence of school anxiety, depressed mood, and insecurity among the BIF and AIF groups. One of the …
High precision numerical approach for Davey–Stewartson II type equations for Schwartz class initial data
2020
We present an efficient high-precision numerical approach for Davey–Stewartson (DS) II type equa- tions, treating initial data from the Schwartz class of smooth, rapidly decreasing functions. As with previous approaches, the presented code uses discrete Fourier transforms for the spatial dependence and Driscoll’s composite Runge–Kutta method for the time dependence. Since DS equations are non-local, nonlinear Schrödinger equations with a singular symbol for the non-locality, standard Fourier methods in practice only reach accuracy of the order of 10−6or less for typical examples. This was previously demonstrated for the defocusing integrable case by comparison with a numerical approach for …
Understanding the sense of community and continuance intention in virtual communities: The role of commitment and type of community
2019
Virtual communities (VCs) have become essential in current organizations and society, and so their sustainability is a topic of interest for researchers and practitioners. We focus on the sense of virtual community (SoVC) and commitment as relevant antecedents in achieving the success and maintenance of different types of VCs (communities of interest, virtual learning communities, and virtual communities of practice). Specifically, this study examines a moderated mediation model in which the type of virtual community moderates the indirect effect of a SoVC on the intention to continue through the perceived commitment of the users of the VC. The sample consists of 299 members of Virtual comm…
