Influence of environmental factors on the spatial distribution and diversity of forest soil in Latvia
2012
This study was carried out to determine the spatial relationships between environmental factors (Quaternary deposits, topographical situation, land cover, forest site types, tree species, soil texture) and soil groups, and their prefix qualifiers (according to the international Food and Agricultural Organization soil classification system World Reference Base for Soil Resources [FAO WRB]). The results show that it is possible to establish relationships between the distribution of environmental factors and soil groups by applying the generalized linear models in data statistical analysis, using the R 2.11.1 software for processing data from 113 sampling plots throughout the forest terri…
Los trabajos sobre negociación colectiva publicados en revistas españolas antes de 1995 e incluidos en la base de datos ISOC. Acercamiento biliométri…
1997
Legal literature is one of the areas most neglected by bibliometric studies, both in Spa in and abroad. Within this context, the general aim of this note is to check the utility of national databases in the retrieval and overview of the legal literature published in Spanish journals. 447 papers on collective bargaining and allied subjects published before 1995 and included in ISOC database have been retrieved. Using a computer file of these papers, the distributions by years, number of authors per paper, institutions of origin, journals and specific subjects was analysed from a bibliometric approach. As a case study, distributions of the publications which have been used in a research paper…
Adaptation and Initial Validation of the BRCS in an Elderly Spanish Sample
2012
Resilience is understood as a dynamic process encompassing positive adaptation within the context of adversity. This study examined the validity of the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), a 4-item measure designed to capture tendencies to cope with stress in a highly adaptive manner, in an elderly Spanish population. A total of 133 elderly people from an association of retired persons in Valencia (Spain) provided the responses for the validation study. The factorial validity of the scale was tested using confirmatory factor analysis, with a single dimension of resilience with adequate fit indexes emerging from this analysis. The BRCS has adequate internal consistency both at the scale and…
Effects of temperature and desiccation on ex situ conservation of nongreen fern spores
2012
Premise of the study Fern spores are unicellular and haploid, making them a potential model system to study factors that regulate lifespan and mechanisms of aging. Aging rates of nongreen spores were measured to compare longevity characteristics among diverse fern species and test for orthodox response to storage temperature and moisture. Methods Aging of spores from 10 fern species was quantified by changes in germination and growth parameters. Storage temperature ranged from ambient room to -196°C (liquid nitrogen); spores were dried to ambient relative humidity (RH) or using silica gel. Key results Survival of spores varied under ambient storage conditions, with one species dying within …
Los profesionales de la organización y gestión de actividad física y deporte en las instalaciones deportivas y entidades : características socio-demo…
2007
Este artículo pertenece al estudio realizado en la Comunidad Valenciana sobre la situación profesional de las personas que trabajan en funciones de actividad física y deporte. Primeramente se contextualiza las tareas de organización y gestión de la actividad física y deporte en el mercado laboral de la actividad física y el deporte y después se detalla aspectos específicos profesionales y técnicos de esta función laboral. Posteriormente se describe, reflexiona y concluye diversos aspectos sobre las características sociodemográficas de las personas que realizan las tareas de organización y gestión de la actividad física y deporte así como sus características formativas y las necesidad de que…
Actuaciones de alumnos instruidos en la resolución algebraica de problemas en la hoja de cálculo y su relación con la competencia en el método cartes…
2013
Presentamos resultados de una investigación en la que, entre otros objetivos, se pretendía determinar cómo influía la enseñanza de la resolución algebraica de problemas en la hoja de cálculo en la competencia en el método cartesiano. La comparación de los cuestionarios administrados antes y después de la enseñanza puso de manifiesto un aumento del uso polisémico de la equis cuando se resolvía con lápiz y papel, y una disminución del uso del lenguaje del álgebra en los problemas de edades. Mostramos que estos resultados pueden atribuirse a la aparición de estrategias de resolución en la hoja de cálculo en las que las situaciones descritas en el enunciado se modelizaban mediante relaciones fu…
Indistinguishability-enhanced entanglement recovery by spatially localized operations and classical communication
2021
We extend a procedure exploiting spatial indistinguishability of identical particles to recover the spoiled entanglement between two qubits interacting with Markovian noisy environments. Here, the spatially localized operations and classical communication (sLOCC) operational framework is used to activate the entanglement restoration from the indistinguishable constituents. We consider the realistic scenario where noise acts for the whole duration of the process. Three standard types of noises are considered: a phase damping, a depolarizing, and an amplitude damping channel. Within this general scenario, we find the entanglement to be restored in an amount proportional to the degree of spati…

Strategic Asset Building and Competitive Strategies for SMEs which Compete with Industry Giants
2014
This chapter studies companies which are arguably business super-heroes – the small firms which despite the apparent handicap of very limited resources are able to compete against much larger, multinational firms – the micro-giants Davids that take on Goliaths. Through a process of detailed case studies of actual firms, analysis of asset structure, and experiments with a simulation model, the relationships between key assets, critical success factors, and micro-giant competiveness are explored. The model produces six scenarios reflecting different strategies for developing tangible and intangible assets and, critically, the balance between them. A level of aggression is needed in asset buil…
Elementary school principals’ work from the ecological systems perspective: Evidence from Finland
2022
The present study aimed to investigate elementary school principals’ work from the ecological systems perspective and which elements of their work are experienced as demands or resources. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 principals. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the data. The results show that the way principals experience their work is individual and influenced by several internal and external factors. Some of the most extensive demands appear to be related to interaction with different stakeholders in situations where principals have the role of mediator in solving conflicting situations. Challenges also seem to arise in dealing with elements or issues…
