Omission of Quality Software Development Practices : A Systematic Literature Review
2018
Software deficiencies are minimized by utilizing recommended software development and quality assurance practices. However, these recommended practices (i.e., quality practices) become ineffective if software professionals purposefully ignore them. Conducting a systematic literature review (n = 4,838), we discovered that only a small number of previous studies, within software engineering and information systems literature, have investigated the omission of quality practices. These studies explain the omission of quality practices mainly as a result of organizational decisions and trade-offs made under resource constraints or market pressure. However, our study indicates that different aspe…

Los Mapas de Gestión de las Empresas Cotizadas Chilenas. Análisis Cuantitativo
2017
espanolEste articulo evalua las clases de gestion adoptadas por las empresas localizadas en la region de Las Condes (Chile) a traves de la metodologia contable de los graficos radiales. Esta metodologia aplicada sobre dos empresas que utilizan dos diferentes clases de gestion, justifica las relaciones que existen entre los indicadores radiales y financieros. Los resultados contrastados con los precios de las acciones de las empresas analizadas en el mercado secundario confirman la validez de las relaciones anteriores. El analisis realizado ha permitido obtener generalizaciones sobre las distintas clases de gestion en la comuna de Las Condes, de acuerdo con el sentido multidimensional de los…
Simplified Model to Predict Runoff Generation Time for Well-Drained and Vegetated Soils
2016
The study of generation process of subsurface stormflow, typical of well-drained and high permeable soils, can be theoretically carried out by applying the continuity and the motion equations with the appropriate boundary conditions. However, difficulties and uncertainness on determining soil hydraulic properties and soil physics heterogeneities let this way not always feasible. In a different way, processes dynamic can be derived by the local scale through a coarse graining procedure, allowing to preserve medium motion character, while hydraulic fluctuation of the motion are lost. Following an approach as this, in this paper a simplified model to predict the runoff generation time, the so-…
Isotopic composition of dissolved sulphate and hydrogen sulphide from some thermal springs of Sicily
1982
Samples of some thermal springs from Sicily have been analysed for the isotopic composition of sulphur-bearing species. The values of δ34S(SO42− (range: +7.3, +31.7‰), δ34S(H2S) (range: −12.2, +27.8), δ34S(S°) (range: +1.9, +24.5) and δ18O(SO42−) (range: −2.5, +23.9) obtained show such a remarkable variability in data as to hypothesize different genetic processes concerning these species. Furthermore, from the available experimental data, the relationship between the isotopic composition of the sulphur in the dissolved sulphate and in the associated hydrogen sulphide (ΔSO42− - H2S = 25 – 30‰) seems to indicate the bacterial reduction of sulphate ion as one of the processes most significantl…
Cultura, innovación y desarrollo local
2002
Juan.M.Albertos@uv.es La Geografía Económica se enfrenta a la necesidad de integrar en sus planteamientos un «giro cultural» sin que ello suponga un debilitamiento de sus bases teóricas y de su potencial como disciplina aplicada. El presente artículo plantea una posible vía de integración de los factores culturales, considerando su papel en los procesos de innovación y en el desarrollo local. Para ello se trata el papel de la cultural local en la generación de relaciones de confianza o en la transmisión de información y conocimiento; asimismo se analiza específicamente el papel de la cultura técnica y de la cultura empresarial como componentes cualificados de la cultura local. Economic Geog…
Reconfigurations in sustainability transitions : a systematic and critical review
2021
Two streams of literature have become especially prominent in understanding social change toward sustainability within the past decades: the research on socio-technical transitions and applications of social practice theory. The aim of this article is to contribute to efforts to create dialogue between these two approaches. We do this by focusing on the concept of reconfiguration, which has become a much-used, but poorly defined notion in the discussion on sustainability transitions. To understand what is defined as reconfiguration in systems and practices, and how the understanding of reconfiguration in regimes could benefit from insights about reconfiguration in practices, we conducted a …
Conceptualizing Core Aspects on Circular Economy in Cities
2021
Currently, there are many different interpretations in the literature of what a circular economy is and how it functions. As cities are still facing challenges to become fully sustainable, the need for a comprehensive analysis of how the circular economy can be implemented in urban areas is increasing. This article aims at outlining circular cities by their key characteristics and to further explore and provide a framework for fostering circularity at the city level. In order to achieve this goal, we performed a systematic review and analyzed key papers published in the field of circular economy to determine how circular economy practices form circular cities. We discovered that cities play…
Monoclinic model shear zones
1998
Abstract Although many ductile shear zones are supposed to have developed by approximately simple shear flow, some must have formed under different conditions. A few types of such ‘non-simple shear zones’ have been proposed in the literature such as transpression-, transtension- and stretching-shear zones. This paper presents a full three-dimensional kinematic model of shear zones with monoclinic flow geometry. Monoclinic shear zone types can be classified according to flow parameters, and according to the geometry and orientation of accumulating finite strain. Modelling of finite strain accumulation shows that a number of unusual and potentially problematic structural features may develop …
Contrasting Styles of Inter-Caldera Volcanism in a Peralkaline System: Case Studies from Pantelleria (Sicily Channel, Italy)
2022
The recent (<190 ka) volcanic history of Pantelleria is characterized by the eruption of nine peralkaline ignimbrites, ranging in composition from comenditic trachyte to comendite to pantellerite. The ~46 ka Green Tuff (GT) was the last of these ignimbrites, which was followed by many effusive and explosive low-volume eruptions of pantellerite from vents within the caldera moat and along the caldera rim. Although recent studies have shed additional light on the age, petrochemistry, and volcanology of the older ignimbrites, there is very little knowledge of magmatism that occurred between these older ignimbrites, primarily due to the very scarce exposures. In this paper, we present new fi…
