Análisis de la distancia recorrida y velocidad de desplazamiento en pádel
2013
El conocimiento de la carga física en el deporte de competición, de los indicadores que determinan los niveles de rendimiento y éxito para cada nivel, así como los aspectos específicos de los jugadores en función de su rol o su posición en el campo, son claves para una mejor planificación de los entrenadores, siendo por tanto objeto de este estudio. Los resultados indicaron que los jugadores de pádel recorrieron 2900 m en 59 min. A medida que sube el nivel de juego, se incrementa la velocidad de desplazamiento de los jugadores, siendo en nivel medio donde se obtuvo un densidad de carga mayor. Los perdedores del punto corrieron significativamente más que los ganadores, debido a las diferenci…
Performance Dissimilarities in European Union Manufacturing: The Effect of Ownership and Technological Intensity
2021
Our paper addresses the relevance of a set of continuous and categorical variables that describe industry characteristics to differences in performance between foreign versus locally owned companies in industries with dissimilar levels of technological intensity. Including data on manufacturing sector performance from 20 European Union member countries and covering the 2009–2016 period, we used the random forests methodology to identify the best predictors of EU manufacturing industries’ a priori classification based on two main attributes: ownership (foreign versus local) and technological intensity. We found that EU foreign-owned businesses dominate locally owned ones in terms of size, wh…
Low-protein vegetarian diet does not have a short-term effect on blood acid¿base status but raises oxygen consumption during submaximal cycling
2012
Background. Acid–base balance refers to the equilibrium between acids and bases in the human body. Nutrition may affect acid–base balance and further physical performance. With the help of PRAL (potential renal acid load), a low-protein vegetarian diet (LPVD) was designed to enhance the production of bases in body. The aim of this study was to investigate if LPVD has an effect on blood acid–base status and performance during submaximal and maximal aerobic cycling. Methods. Nine healthy, recreationally active men (age 23.5 ± 3.4 yr) participated in the study and were randomly divided into two groups in a cross-over study design. Group 1 followed LPVD for 4 days and group 2 ate normally (ND) …

Literacy, Age and Recentness of Education Among Nordic Adults
2017
The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between reading literacy and age in an adult population aged 25 to 65 in Nordic countries using PIAAC 2012 data. More specifically, the study examined to what extent variations in the literacy proficiency of adults are explained by age and the recentness of qualifications when variables related to education, occupation, and skill use are controlled. The statistical method was regression analysis. The recentness of education explained only a part of the performance gap between the oldest adults and others. The significance of the length and scope of initial education in developing literacy proficiency overall, is difficult to c…
The Experimental Study of Heat Waste Conversion into Useful Electric Power
2009
This paper presents the practical results ofthe design solutions, executing and experimentaltesting of a prototype model of o thermoelectricgenerator, based on the conversion of residualthermical energy into electric power, by improving theSeebeck effect. To this purpose, high performancethermoelectric modules have been used, taken from therecent production of the American Corporation Hi-ZTechnology. The prototype thermoelectric generatorbuilt for a demonstrative purposes has got the lowefficiency category. The results taken from the testsand experimental measurements have showntheimportance of the constructive solution of materialsand technologies that have been used. These resultsdirect t…
Relación entre la innovación y el performance en empresas de base tecnológica (ebts) del sector de tecnologías de información en Colombia
2017
El presente trabajo busca contribuir mediante el examen de los procesos de innovación a nivel microeconómico, a la identificación de las dificultades e incentivos de las empresas para emprender esfuerzos de innovación, y los efectos que tienen sobre el desempeño de las firmas que emprenden esos procesos de innovación. En el contexto relacionado de los procesos de innovación, las organizaciones buscan mantener o desarrollar ventajas competitivas que les permitan aprovechar y lograr un posicionamiento estratégico en el entorno socio económico al cual pertenecen. Estas ventajas competitivas se vinculan habitualmente con los recursos y capacidades empresariales u organizativos que desarrolla ca…
Relationship between management Control and Organizational learning: An exploratory Study
2019
International audience; Cet article traite la question de la relation du contrôle de gestion et de l’apprentissage organisationnel. La méthodologie de recherche mobilisée, basée sur une approche qualitative, est fondée sur une étude de cas de la filiale d’une multinationale industrielle. Les résultats obtenus ont d’abord montré l’exisitance d’une relation en double sens entre le contrôle de gestion et l’apprentissage organisationnel. En plus de sa mission traditionnelle de régulation, l’usage interactif du système de contrôle de gestion favorise le développement des configurations de l’apprentissage en double boucle qui permet de questionner la pertinence et la validité de la stratégie ains…
Structure de propriété et communication financière des entreprises françaises
2005
The objective of this empirical study is to test the hypothesized relation between ownership structure and the quality of financial reporting of French firms. The results confirm that the relation between shareholding dilution and the quality of investors' relations is not linear but curvilinear.
Evaluation of rehabilitation impact on hydraulic and environmental performance of sewer systems (WP3 CARE-S Project)
2005
The research project CARE-S (Computer Aided RE-habilitation of Sewer Networks) deals with public sewer and storm water networks of any dimension. CARE-S aims to analyse the structural and functional reliability of wastewater networks at minimum cost and disturbance. The ultimate product will be a Decision Support System (DSS) that will enable municipal engineers to establish and maintain effective management of their sewer networks. The project work plan follows a logical structure for the necessary work. It is divided in 10 Work Packages (WP) and each WP is distributed among several partners. The present paper presents the structure and the final results of WP 3 .The work package aim is th…
