Probing the bond order wave phase transitions of the ionic Hubbard model by superlattice modulation spectroscopy
2017
An exotic phase, the bond order wave, characterized by the spontaneous dimerization of the hopping, has been predicted to exist sandwiched between the band and Mott insulators in systems described by the ionic Hubbard model. Despite growing theoretical evidences, this phase still evades experimental detection. Given the recent realization of the ionic Hubbard model in ultracold atomic gases, we propose here to detect the bond order wave using superlattice modulation spectroscopy. We demonstrate, with the help of time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group and bosonization, that this spectroscopic approach reveals characteristics of both the Ising and Kosterlitz-Thouless transitions …
Ciencia del Comercio, Economía Política y Economía Civil en la Ilustración Española (1714-1808)
2019
The chronology of economic ideas in Spanish Enlightenment is well known. However, the most accepted periodization does not fit with the evolution of moral philosophy and political economy in the 18th century, nor does it reflect the alternation in economic ideologies. After considering a joint articulation of national and generational approaches to the European economic thought, it seems important to differentiate the contents of political economy and civil economy to study the Spanish case. Below is a new periodization in five stages of enlightened economic thought in Spain: the time of colbertism and projectism (1714-1740), this of the learning of the science of commerce in Ensenada’s per…
La evolución de las pautas de consumo de las familias valencianas. Una aproximación a los cambios de comportamiento en el siglo XVIII
2019
En las áreas más dinámicas de la Europa Occidental la llamada revolución del consumo hizo su aparición a finales del xvii. También en la España Mediterránea se produjeron cambios significativos en las pautas adquisitivas de las familias, derivados del excepcional desarrollo económico experimentado a lo largo del siglo xviii. Cambios que dudamos en calificar de revolucionarios –ya que responden a un proceso progresivo en el que intervienen múltiples variables–, y que en nuestra opinión consideramos que el término que mejor caracteriza este período es el de evolución del consumo. La base documental utilizada en este estudio comparativo la constituye un conjunto de escrituras de dote repartida…

Aspectos convergentes del pensamiento crítico y las cuestiones sociocientíficas
2014
In this work, we present an analysis of the conceptualization of the critical thought, based on references from the Philosophy and Didactics of science, in a group of university students. We found that interpretations made by the participants in front of this kind of thought involve important aspects of socio-scientific questions (SCQ), related to the questioning of information, multidimensionality of science and decision making. Keywords. critical thought, socio-scientific questions, science education issues. En este artículo se presenta un análisis de la conceptualización del pensamiento crítico, a partir de referentes de la filosofía y de la didáctica de las ciencias, en un grupo de estu…
Part 2. They scare because we care: The relationship between obsessive intrusive thoughts and appraisals and control strategies across 15 cities
2014
Abstract Cognitive models of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) purport that obsessions are normal intrusive thoughts that are misappraised as significant, leading to negative emotional responses and maladaptive attempts to control the thoughts and related emotions. This paper utilised a large multi-national dataset of interview data regarding intrusive thoughts, to investigate three questions related to the cognitive model of OCD and to its stability across cultures. First, the paper aimed to investigate the implicit yet-hitherto-untested assumption of cognitive models that misappraisals and control strategies for intrusive thoughts relate similarly across cultures. Second, this study aim…
Eurosceptic Contagion and European Elections
2021
At the onset, the starting perspective here has been that the main arena for political struggle is the national one. One of the most influential approaches in the study of European and European Union politics has been the second-order election thesis (Reif & Schmitt, 1980). According to this school of thought, elections to the European Parliament have actually functioned as somewhat less important national elections (hence second order, akin to US midterm elections), and the main arena for political conflict over EU policy lies at the national level. This book has so far largely shared these assumptions and premises and has as a consequence focused on the effect of Eurosceptic Parties’ succ…
Systematic reasoning: Formal or postformal cognition?
1995
The focus of this study was to investigate the relationship between formal and postformal systematic metasystematic reasoning. Shayer's (1978) chemicals task and a modified version of Kuhn and Brannock's (1977) plant task were used to measure formal thinking and Commons, Richard, and Kuhn's (1982) multisystem task and balance-beam task to detect postformal reasoning. Subjects were university students from the humanities and social sciences (N=35). For each subject, a composite score was defined by taking into account the highest score in the tasks measuring the same developmental stage. Findings indicated that composite scores of formal and postformal reasoning were significantly correlated…
What Can Linguistics Do to Technology Design?
2021
Intelligent technologies have already revolutionized the economy, and they will continue to do so via autonomous, AI-based systems and artefacts. Artefacts can handle much more intellectually complicated tasks than was possible before. However, the technological transformation will set new demands for technology design and designers. Designing electromechanical technologies has been based on natural science, but intelligent technologies will extensively use knowledge of human research and information processing to create new artefacts. Intelligent information processing has so far been possible only for biological systems and especially for human minds. Therefore, their functions and behavi…
'Economy' in European History. Words, Contexts and Change over Time
2022
Starting from the Greek idea of the law of the household, Luigi Alonzi traces the different meaning assumed by the word ‘economy’ during the modern ages and the early modern era, highlighting the semantic richness of the word and its uses in various political and cultural contexts.
