Cadenas de suministro, Derechos Humanos, Empresas Transnacionales e industria textil: de los AMI a un Instrumento Internacional Jurídicamente Vincula…
2019
espanolEl texto parte de la necesidad de elaborar normas vinculantes a nivel internacional sobre empresas transnacionales y derechos humanos con la finalidad de poner fin a la impunidad de la que gozan cuando, directamente o a lo largo de los distintos eslabones de su cadena de suministro, provocan violaciones de estos derechos, asi como asegurar la reparacion de las victimas y posibles secuelas. Existen distintas iniciativas en el plano internacional, tanto en el ambito de Naciones Unidas (Principios Rectores) como en el ambito de las propias corporaciones y sus relaciones con los sindicatos (Acuerdos Marco Internacionales), orientadas a impulsar a las empresas transnacionales hacia compor…
Work engagement among school directors and teachers' behavior at work
2016
The purpose of this paper is to analyze engagement at work among public primary school directors and to investigate the impact of school heads' management style on teachers' behavior at work, in a developing country. Results are based on a specific survey of workflow processes and a representative sample of around 1,000 public primary schools in Madagascar. These surveys gather extremely rare information on several aspects of the staff’s behavior at work and on the tasks performed as part of their workflow. Two-levels models and least square models are used to analyze engagement at work among school directors, and to evaluate the impact of school director's management style on teachers' eng…

Strangers on the board
2019
The internationalization of firms has led to boards becoming more international as well. In this study, we investigate the consequences of board internationalization. In particular, by drawing on research on language and board dynamics, we identify theory-based reasons why board internationalization could increase, or decrease, earnings management practices. We use agency theory, stressing how board internationalization may positively or negatively affect monitoring quality of boards. Next to agency theory, we use theories explaining how language differences in the boardroom complicates communication and how differences in language structures (referred to as linguistic relativity in the lit…
La transposición creativa de Volpone de J. Romain y M. Tourneur
2016
We are well aware that, no matter how valuable a text may be, its afterlife in other cultural and linguistic contexts is heavily dependent on the translator’s ability to meet the needs and expectations of its target audience. This is precisely what French screenwriter Jules Romains and film director Maurice Tourneur did when adapting Jonson’s Volpone [1940] for the new medium at the advent of sound films. It is the aim of this article to cast light on their creative transposition of Ben Jonson’s theatrical masterpiece. Keywords : Romains; Tourneur; Volpone ; creative transposition

Validity of the Mini-Nutritional Assessment Scale for Evaluating Frailty Status in Older Adults
2019
Objectives: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) may not be performed in clinical practice as it takes too much time and requires special training. The Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is widely used to assess nutritional status in older adults. We aimed to determine whether or not the MNA can estimate frailty status defined by the Fried criteria. Setting and Participants: Six hundred two outpatients aged 65 years or older who underwent the CGA were included the study. Measures: Frailty status was defined by 5 dimensions including shrinking, exhaustion, low levels of activity, weakness, and slowness: 0 for robust, 1–2 for prefrail, and 3–5 for frail. MNA was performed in all participan…
Dietary Protein Intake and Falls in Older People: Longitudinal Analyses From the Osteoarthritis Initiative.
2019
Objectives: Literature regarding dietary protein intake and risk of falls is limited to a few studies with relatively small sample sizes and short follow-ups, which have reported contrasting findings. Thus, we investigated whether dietary protein intake is associated with risk of falls in a large cohort of North American adults. Design: Data were drawn from the Osteoarthritis Initiative, a cohort study, with 8 years of follow-up. Setting and participants: Community-dwelling adults with knee osteoarthritis or at high risk for this condition. Methods: Dietary protein intake was recorded using the Block Brief 2000 food frequency questionnaire and categorized using gender-specific quartiles (Q)…
