Interpretation of Ocular Melanin Drug Binding Assays. Alternatives to the Model of Multiple Classes of Independent Sites
2016
Melanin has a high binding affinity for a wide range of drugs. The determination of the melanin binding capacity and its binding affinity are important, e.g., in the determination of the ocular drug distribution, the prediction of drug effects in the eye, and the trans-scleral drug delivery. The binding parameters estimated from a given data set vary significantly when using different isotherms or different nonlinear fitting methods. In this work, the commonly used bi-Langmuir isotherm, which assumes two classes of independent sites, is confronted with the Sips isotherm. Direct, log-log, and Scatchard plots are used, and the interpretation of the binding curves in the latter is critically a…
Importance and methodologies of endodontic microleakage studies: A systematic review
2017
Introduction It is very important to obtain a tight seal in obturated root canal, making it necessary to conduct clinical or laboratory studies on the sealability of endodontic materials. Different methodologies have been historically used to assess microleakage of different endodontic materials. The aim of the present study was to comprehensively review different material testing methods used in microleakage studies, their interpretation and importance in endodontic literature. Material and methods A systematic search was conducted in Medline, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases. In addition, the reference lists of review articles on the topic were searched. No language restriction was …
Beginning Becoming: The First 1000 Days
2019
Thomas Balmes’ (Babies. Studio Canal documentaries, 2010) ‘Babies’ (Baby(ies) or Bebes) provides a glimpse into the earliest experiences of four infants from four different localities in the world. Although this movie offers no interpretation of what takes place, the discerning viewer is left in no doubt of the significance of these powerful images about infants and their ways of being, doing and knowing in the earliest phases of life. The provocations of ‘Babies’ offer a useful beginning orienting place for a book – almost 10 years later – that promises to focus on becoming in the first 1000 days across a different set of five countries – this time Australia, Finland, New Zealand, Norway a…
Equidad y educación de la primera infancia en la agenda educativa mundial
2019
Resumen (descriptivo): El presente trabajo se inspira en la necesidad de abordar un análisis de la equidad en la etapa de educación infantil desde un enfoque holístico, para contribuir al debate actual sobre la importancia de la equidad en la nueva agenda educativa y sus metas para la primera infancia. Parte de fundamentos del estudio teórico de la equidad en educación desde un enfoque holístico que permita aplicar este análisis a la educación de la primera infancia en las sociedades iberoamericanas, en aras de aportar una perspectiva más amplia en la discusión de sus logros y desafíos. Finalmente, este entendimiento posibilita la interpretación de los límites y posibilidades de los objetiv…

The Theory of the Flying Geese Pattern of Development and Its Interpretations
1994
An interpretation is made of Akamatsu Kaname's theory of the flying geese pattern of development, launched in Japan during the 1930s. This theory explains how an undeveloped country can become developed relatively quickly. The undeveloped country adopts suitable labour-intensive industries from more developed countries. It produces first for the home market, but starts to export as soon as the industries have grown strong enough. Initially, products are simple, crude and cheap, but gradually the level of quality is elevated. The procedure is repeated over and over again, leading to a rapid process of national economic development. In Japanese postwar industrial policy, certain industries w…
¿Puede un factor réplica del crecimiento económico futuro (PIB) explicar los rendimientos de los activos financieros cotizados en la bolsa española?
2020
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar si un factor con capacidad predictiva sobre el crecimiento económico futuro, captura los rendimientos de los activos cotizados en la bolsa española. A su vez, se analiza la posible interpretación racional económica de los factores de Fama y French y momentum, como variables con información sobre dicho crecimiento económico futuro. Se cuantifican estos efectos para las etapas de crisis (económica: 1993-1997 y financiera: 2008-2011) y de expansión económica (1998-2007). Los resultados subrayan la relevancia y capacidad explicativa de este factor predictivo pero se encuentra una interpretación económica débil de los factores tamaño y ratio book-to-market…
An adult life cycle perspective on public subsidies to higher education in three countries
1986
Studies of the incidence of public susidies to higher education have commonly disregarded adjustements to an appropriate age range in the parental reference populations. Even where the need for such adjustements is noted, implications have rarely if ever been systematically analyzed. Moreover, no attention whatsoever seems to have been paid to implications for adult life-cycle experiences let alone secular changes in experiences over successive cohorts. The present paper seeks to fill part of these gaps, drawing on relevant parts of our research on "the political economy of government support of higher education : studies in Chile, France and Malaysia".
Two stories, one fate: age-heaping and literacy in Spain, 1877-1930
2021
This study looks at human capital in Spain during the early stages of modern economic growth. In order to do so, we have assembled a new dataset on ageheaping and literacy in Spain for both men and women between 1877 and 1930 based on six population censuses with information for 49 provinces. Our results show that age-heaping was less prevalent during the second half of the 19th century than previously thought and did not decrease until the early twentieth century. By contrast, literacy increased throughout the whole period. Interestingly, age-heaping and illiteracy rates depict similar spatial patterns which confirm the stark differences in human capital within Spain. Lastly, we raise crit…
An Augmented Static Olley-Pakes Productivity Decomposition with Entry and Exit Measurement and Interpretation
2015
We develop an augmented Olley–Pakes (OP) decomposition that allows us to examine how entering and exiting firms contribute to the popular OP covariance measure of allocative efficiency. Applying the decomposition to a comprehensive micro-level data, we find that a large part of the OP covariance component can be attributed to entrants and exiting firms. We also build a model of firm dynamics that is consistent with our main empirical results. In the model economy, the standard OP covariance component tends to increase with certain type of distortions because of endogenous changes in firm entry and exit.
