El happening y la creación de situaciones en dos novelas de Julio Cortázar espacios de liberación y metáfora de la escritura
2013
In his 60’s theoretical texts Julio Cortázar wrote about the happening as an avant-garde and radical practice. He underlined as well the difficulties of the 60’s intelligentsia to conceptualize it properly. His novels 62. Modelo para armar and Libro de Manuel experimented with the structure of happening as a model for narrative exploration. In fact, Cortázar used the happening and the debordian idea of situation for giving a possible answer to the main debate about the relationship between critical intelligentsia and political activity.
Vers une tridimensionalité du contrôle interactif
2011
We propose in this paper to revisit the concept of interactive control, highlighted by Robert Simons, examining the use of "environmental control systems" in Ten French Companies proactive in ecology. By showing that interactivity of "control systems" is not limited to a vertical dimension as suggested by Simons, but it tends towards three-dimensional (vertical, transversal and external), this study highlights the interest of explore further upstream the concept of interactive control little studied in the literature.
Cost-Effective Congestion Management for Interconnection Networks Using Distributed Deterministic Routing
2010
The Interconnection networks are essential elements in current computing systems. For this reason, achieving the best network performance, even in congestion situations, has been a primary goal in recent years. In that sense, there exist several techniques focused on eliminating the main negative effect of congestion: the Head of Line (HOL) blocking. One of the most successful HOL blocking elimination techniques is RECN, which can be applied in source routing networks. FBICM follows the same approach as RECN, but it has been developed for distributed deterministic routing networks. Although FBICM effectively eliminates HOL blocking, it requires too much resources to be implemented. In this …
VEF Traces: A Framework for Modelling MPI Traffic in Interconnection Network Simulators
2015
Simulation is often used to evaluate the behaviour and measure the performance of computing systems. Specifically, in high-performance interconnection networks, the simulation has been extensively considered to verify the behaviour of the network itself and to evaluate its performance. In this context, network simulation must be fed with network traffic, also referred to as network workload, whose nature has been traditionally synthetic. These workloads can be used for the purpose of driving studies on network performance, but often such workloads are not accurate enough if a realistic evaluation is pursued. For this reason, other non-synthetic workloads have gained popularity over last dec…
SimuRed: A flit-level event-driven simulator for multicomputer network performance evaluation
2009
The interconnection network is one of the most important multicomputer components, since it has a great impact on global system performance. Many models and simulators have been proposed to evaluate network performance. This paper presents SimuRed, an event-driven flit-level, cycle-accurate simulator to evaluate different orthogonal network configurations. The core of the simulator has been designed to be expandable and portable to different situations. Some of the advantages of this simulator over other similar tools are its visual interface, its fast execution and its simplicity. Moreover, it is multiplatform and its source code versions (C++ and Java) are freely available under GNU open-…
Was the European Commission Green Paper Right? An Evaluation of the French Experience with Joint Auditing
2012
The Green Paper entitled “Audit policy: Lessons from the crisis” (European Commission, 2010) recommends the introduction of joint audit for European listed companies, based on the French experience, to limit the market dominance of the Big 4 and to promote audit quality. However, the regulation passed by the European Parliament in April 2014 does not require, but only encourages the use of two auditors for public-interest entities (European Parliament, 2014). Since many groups of interests tried to influence the European Commission during the consultation process, it is relevant to evaluate the costs and benefits for investors of the unique joint audit system that persists among the occiden…
Determination and separation of diarylheptanoids from alder growing in Latvia
2015
The composition of diarylhepatnoids fraction isolated from bark of two alder species (grey alder and black alder) was studied. The efficiency of three extraction methods used for isolation of diarylhepatnoids from alder bark was compared. Two diarylhepatnoids: 1,7-bis-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-heptan- 3-one-5-O-β-D-xylopyronoside (oregonin) and 1,7-bis-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxyheptane-5-O-β-D- xylopyranoside were isolated from the bark of grey alder. The phenolic components of the extracts were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Quantitative determination of oregonin was performed using an internal standard method. The results obtained show that alder barks are ric…
Un análisis empírico del impacto de la regulación contable en el mercado de auditoría
2017
El objetivo de la presente tesis se centra en el estudio de la estructura del mercado de la auditoría así como en analizar el impacto económico que la regulación contable ejerce sobre determinados elementos del mercado de auditoría (honorarios y rentabilidad de las firmas de auditoría). A partir de la publicación del Reglamento europeo 1606/2002 se requirió a los grupos cotizados que formulasen sus estados financieros consolidados desde el 1 de enero de 2005, conforme a las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera o NIIF. En España, la adaptación de las NIIF al resto de empresas, no se llevó a cabo hasta la aprobación del Nuevo Plan General Contable (NPGC) y del plan para pequeñas y…
Board Evaluation in Italian Listed Companies
2016
In the last decade performance evaluation of the Board of Directors has become a best practice at national and international level. Italy is an interesting area of analysis given the high concentration of ownership that characterizes companies, including listed companies. In this context the choices of governance that affect the level of disclosure, for which the expectation is to have a low level of disclosure on the practice of BE (Board Evaluation).The first purpose of this paper is to present a resume on the state of the art in terms of BE for Italian listed companies at 31st December 2012, in terms of presence/absence of the practice of disclosure and its more or less extensive disclos…
Dynamic capabilities in the internationalization process of companies distributing products of the agribusiness sector
2016
The agri-food sector faces important internal and external barriers to internationalization that could be overcome by the development of dynamic capabilities. Generic dynamic capabilities generate sector and environment specific dynamic capabilities that directly contribute to overcome the barriers of internationalization. Our contribution is to determine which specific dynamic capabilities of the distribution companies collaborate to overcome these barriers and as a consequence to improve international results. A qualitative study with directors and managers of the sector was carried out. The results give rise to confirm that the specific dynamic capabilities largely help to resolve the in…
