Combined Innovation Policy: Linking Scientific and Practical Knowledge in Innovation Systems
2012
New research indicates that firms combining the science-based STI (Science, Technology, Innovation) and the experience-based DUI (Doing, Using, Interacting) modes of innovation are more efficient when it comes to improving innovation capacity and competitiveness. With regard to innovation policy, the STI mode calls for a supply driven policy, typically aimed to commercialise research results. The DUI mode suggests a demand driven policy approach, such as supporting the development of new products or services to specific markets. This paper analyses how the two types of innovation policy and the two innovation modes can be combined in regional innovation systems. The analysis builds on studi…
¿El Estado de Derecho en peligro? El juez constitucional contra la Constitución y a favor de la reelección presidencial indefinida : caso Bolivia
2021
In Bolivia, the third term and the habilitation of former President Evo Morales to the 2019 presidential elections was allowed with the acquiescence of the Plurinational Constitutional Court. Despite the fact that the Constitution prohibited it and there was a referendum that rejected indefinite presidential re-election. This occurred through the judicialization of politics that produced a non-formal reform of the Constitution producing a case of abusive constitutionalism and the destabilization of the rule of law.
El consentimiento informado de los menores de edad en el ámbito sanitario
2021
: El consentimiento informado aparece como un derecho de todo paciente a decidir en el ámbito sanitario. En este marco, es necesario determinar si los menores de edad han de ejercitar este derecho o si, por el contrario, precisan de la intervención de un tercero para llevarlo a cabo. A este respecto, nuestra legislación actual reconoce, con carácter general, el derecho a decidir de este colectivo. No obstante, en ocasiones pueden producirse limitaciones a su ejercicio motivadas bien por la ausencia de capacidad real, bien por el principio de interés superior. En definitiva, se trata de alcanzar el mayor beneficio para los menores de edad en el campo de la salud, evitando que se produzcan pe…
Getting married or entering into a partnership : the patrimonial issues of choice in french law
2021
In French law, there are only two models of couples between which a choice is really possible to organize their patrimonial relationships: partnership or marriage. But, if the couple intends to organize a transfer of assets between companions both during the union and in case of death, it is definitely marriage that offers more possibilities than partnership. Often, young French couples, who do not wish to marry, either not at the begining of their relationship or not at all, have the idea that, if marriage organizes a legal protection of the couple, the partners have the possibility to provide conventionally equivalent protection. In fact, this idea is wrong.
Análisis cuantitativo del hueso alveolar y palatino en las zonas de colocación de minitornillos utilizando CBCT
2022
OBJETIVOS: La estabilidad de los minitornillos está relacionada con la calidad y cantidad ósea existente en el complejo craneofacial. En este estudio se analizaron, tanto en el maxilar como en la mandíbula, los espacios interradiculares, la cortical ósea vestibular, la anchura del proceso alveolar, así como el espesor del hueso palatino y la densidad ósea de la cortical. Las mediciones se realizaron utilizando el CBCT y se analizó la correlación existente de las mismas con el patrón facial, la clase esquelética, la edad y el sexo de los sujetos. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: 129 CBCTs fueron seleccionados de pacientes pertenecientes a la Clínica Odontológica de la Universitat de València. Se realizar…
Corporate social responsibility reporting and institutional theory
2016
Objeto: La investigación sobre divulgación de información de sostenibilidad se ha centrado en el ámbito de la empresa, siendo escasos los trabajos que analizan las diferencias entre países. El objetivo es identificar los factores que explican las diferencias en el suministro de información de sostenibilidad a nivel macroeconómico. Diseño/metodología/enfoque: La muestra incluye 9,570 memorias elaboradas en el marco de la Global Reporting Initiative en 53 países en el periodo 2007-2012. La información para cada país se ha estandarizado por millón de habitantes en cada año. Se han utilizado modelos de regresión múltiple para estudiar la incidencia de la gobernabilidad, la cultura y la globaliz…
Deep-Sea Bioluminescence Blooms after Dense Water Formation at the Ocean Surface
2013
The deep ocean is the largest and least known ecosystem on Earth. It hosts numerous pelagic organisms, most of which are able to emit light. Here we present a unique data set consisting of a 2.5-year long record of light emission by deep-sea pelagic organisms, measured from December 2007 to June 2010 at the ANTARES underwater neutrino telescope in the deep NW Mediterranean Sea, jointly with synchronous hydrological records. This is the longest continuous time-series of deep-sea bioluminescence ever recorded. Our record reveals several weeks long, seasonal bioluminescence blooms with light intensity up to two orders of magnitude higher than background values, which correlate to changes in th…
Stress-strain analysis of specimens subjected to tensile loading during moisture uptake
2015
Abstract: A robust and efficient numerical method for the calculation of the internal stress state that develops within structures subjected to mechanical and steady state or transient hygroscopic loading conditions, has been developed. The method encompasses a layer by layer approach whereby the structure is discretised into plies with different material properties corresponding to the different ply moisture content. The proposed method has been validated against finite element solutions, and results from its application on a fully characterised EDT (technical name) polymer binder are presented. The impact of the moisture induced viscoelastic behaviour on the structural response of the cas…
Permeability of three-dimensional random fiber webs
1998
We report the results of essentially ab initio simulations of creeping flow through large threedimensional random fiber webs that closely resemble fibrous sheets such as paper and nonwoven fabrics. The computational scheme used in this Letter is that of the lattice-Boltzmann method and contains no free parameters concerning the properties of the porous medium or the dynamics of the flow. The computed permeability of the web is found to be in good agreement with experimental data, and confirms that permeability depends exponentially on porosity over a large range of porosity.
