Cities as Enablers of Innovation
2018
The relationship between cities and innovation in present times can be regarded from a distinctive perspective. As it is vital to rethink our development patterns, in order to contrast global warming and its ominous threats, cities are themselves concrete materials for innovation. Therefore, cities challenge the very same concept of innovation by adding the long-term perspective to its social assessment framework. Cities are therefore seen both as hotbeds of creativity and innovative culture and places where different actors (policy makers, civil servants, NGOs, citizens, start-uppers, entrepreneurs, etc.) receive continuous stimuli to engage in innovations that fulfil specific needs (be th…
Garantías legales del concepto de privacidad: Entre el derecho al olvido y el nuevo reglamento europeo de protección de datos
2018
The operation of new technologies and the supply of digital goods involves for users to disclose their personal data. The market data is already a reality with the danger that this entails for the privacy of citizens. The new General Data Protection Regulation has created a new legal framework that aims to radically change the current model, giving users greater powers to control their data. A good example of this is the express statement, and for the first time, of the right to be forgotten, which allows citizens to digitally erase their data when other fundamental rights are endangered.
Reflections about the authentic document in "post mortem" fecundation
2018
[EN] The legislation on assisted reproduction contemplates the ¿post mortem¿ fecundation. Nevertheless, the document for the presentation of the assent raises some doubts in relation with the principle of party autonomy and the new technologies of the information and communication (ICTs). In the present work one thinks about these questions and one tries to contribute some solution of application in the Spanish legal system.
El bienestar del menor por nacer: ¿un interés a ponderar en el acceso a las técnicas de reproducción asistida?
2020
La necesidad de aproximar las legislaciones de los distintos Estados europeos en el ámbito de la reproducción asistida, para evitar el llamado “turismo reproductivo”; así como la conveniencia de realizar una valoración previa de las personas que solicitan ser receptoras de estas técnicas con fines reproductivos, en orden a acercar las distintas formas de filiación, hace que nos planteemos en el presente trabajo la introducción del “bienestar del menor por nacer” como un “interés” más a ponderar para acceder a las técnicas de reproducción asistida. The need to approximate the legislation of the different European States in the field of assisted reproduction, in order to prevent the so-called…
Semantically-enhanced advertisement recommender systems in social networks
2016
El suministro de recomendaciones en los sistemas sociales lleva ya algún tiempo en el punto de mira tanto de los académicos como de la industria. Los gigantes de las redes sociales como Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace, etc., están ansiosos por encontrar la bala de plata de la recomendación. Estas aplicaciones permiten a los clientes dar forma a unas determinadas redes sociales a través de sus comunicaciones sociales cooperativas cotidianas. Mientras tanto, la experiencia online actual depende progresivamente de la asociación social. Una de las principales preocupaciones en la red social es establecer un plan de negocio exitoso para obtener más beneficios de la red social. Hacer un negocio en ca…

The section will present the recent results, achieved by IAPS researchers and the IAPS partners in the following research fields: optical phenomena in gas, liquid, solid state and biological samples, optical methods for diagnostics, chemical analysis and optical sensor technologies, quantum optics and telecommunication, modelling, novel nanomaterials and their biomedical applications. Total 27 abstracts.
The European Regional Convergence Process, 1980-1995: Do Spatial Regimes and Spatial Dependence Matter?
2002
International audience; The authors show that spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity matter in the estimation of the ß-convergence process among 138 European regions over the 1980 to 1995 period. Using spatial econometrics tools, the authors detect both spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity in the form of structural instability across spatial convergence clubs. The estimation of the appropriate spatial regimes spatial error model shows that the convergence process is different across regimes. The authors also estimate a strongly significant spatial spillover effect: the average growth rate of per capita GDP of a given region is positively affected by the average growth rate of …
Quantification of LAI interannual anomalies by adjusting climatological patterns
2011
International audience; Scaling variations and shifts in the timing of seasonal phenology are central features of global change research. In this study, we propose a novel climatology fitting approach to quantify inter-annual anomalies in LAI seasonality. A consistent archive of daily LAI estimates was first derived from historical AVHRR satellite data for the 1981-2000 period over a globally representative sample of sites. The climatology values were then computed by averaging multi-year LAI profiles, gap filling and smoothing to eliminate possible high temporal frequency residual artifacts. The inter-annual variations in LAI were finally quantified by scaling and shifting the seasonal cli…
LATIN AMERICA AND ABYA YALA IN TEACHING SPANISH HISTORY: THE "DISCOVERY", THE CONQUEST AND CONTROVERSIES OF THE BLACK LEGEND
2019
RESUMO O trabalho explicita as representações contemporâneas da História da América no ensino de História na Espanha. Explicita e problematiza as configurações textuais e iconográficas que pretendem ensinar uma história do “descobrimento”, da conquista e da colonização da América. Usou-se a metodologia da pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo, com técnica de fichamento e observações analíticas de obras historiográficas contemporâneas, livros didáticos e lugares de memória (museus e monumentos históricos). Em relação aos manuais didáticos, foram selecionados e analisados 18 livros de ensino de História editados por seis editoras no período de 2000 a 2015. Analisou-se a história do “descobrimento…
Comparison of in Situ Land Surface Temperatures Measured with Radiometers and Pyrgeometers: Consequences for Calibration and Validation of Thermal In…
2018
Land surface temperature (LST) is a key magnitude in many exchange processes between the surface and the atmosphere. LST measurement from satellites provides an efficient way to monitor its change across wide areas on Earth, an essential issue being LST validation using in situ measurements to assess its accuracy and precision. Presently, there are two widely used methodologies: temperature measurements made by wideband radiometers observing the land surface with a given viewing angle and a limited field of view, and measurements provided by total radiation pyrgeometers with a nearly hemispheric field of view. Although both measurements are correlated, they are not equivalent; thus, it is r…
