El lenguaje jurídico con perspectiva de género. Algunas reflexiones para la reforma constitucional
2019
Language shows culture and describes reality, but also the language allows you to retain and preserve the existing values, to maintain and perpetuate male values, which are patriarchal because society is patriarchal. Thus the language has served to contribute to the construction of that patriarchal culture. If the language has the power to create, it has the power to transform, therefore language can serve to build another type of relations and culture based on equality and consequently other more fair society. The construction of a more fair society depends in part on the use of another kind of language, language with gender perspective, and the overcoming of sexist and androcentric langua…
The public sector's roles in the sharing economy and the implications for public values
2019
Abstract Motivated by the growing significance of the sharing economy, we discuss the roles the public sector may play within the sharing economy and the corresponding implications for public values. The sharing economy represents a transformative agent for the public sector within the current landscape of digital transformation. While the public sector has so far acted mainly as a regulatory body in the sharing economy, we here discuss implications for other roles the public sector may take on, including the roles of customer, service provider, and platform provider. Framed within the context of the public value ideals (professional, efficiency, service, and engagement), we examine the opp…
Think transformational leadership – Think female?
2015
This study examines whether the behaviors of transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership are perceived as being more typical of female or male leaders. In a questionnaire study, 113 participants in Germany were asked to rate the probability of occurrence of a specific leadership behavior for male and female leaders, respectively. A diagnostic ratio for each leadership behavior allows the determination of the direction and degree of gender-specific evaluations. As predicted, transformational leadership is believed to be more typical of female leaders. Nevertheless, inspirational motivation and idealized influence attributed are rated as being gender neutral. For transactio…
Validation study of an evaluation scale of ‘perceived social justice’ in the primary and secondary education
2018
La evaluación educativa se ha basado fundamentalmente en el éxito académico. Sin embargo, estudios recientes han valorado estudiar la percepción que el propio alumnado tiene sobre otros aspectos como, por ejemplo, el de la justicia social. Así pues, el objetivo general de nuestro trabajo es el diseño de un instrumento que permita evaluar la percepción que crea el alumnado sobre justicia social educativa (JSP-E) a partir de las interacciones y relaciones que se establecen entre alumnado y profesorado. El constructo “Justicia Social Percibida en la Educación" se incluye dentro de la dimensión de equidad del modelo de evaluación de instituciones y sistemas educativos definido en Jornet (2012) …
Solid state ionics and optical materials technology for energy efficiency, solar energy conversion, and environment control
1991
The fundamental electronic properties (including optical) of a solid are determined by the character of the interaction between its ionic and electronic subsystems. The state of the ionic subsystem can be changed persistently and reversibly by an external stimulus (current, light). The pertinent ion-controlled phenomena in the solids (solid electrolytes or mixed conductors) causes the ions to be inserted, extracted, transferred, or absorbed or transforms the states of the ions by redox reactions in the bulk or on the surface of the solid or on the interface of a (laminar or planar) solid ionic heterosystem. Several functions can be accomplished: (1) the optical response function of the soli…
Variable fractional Fourier processor: a simple implementation
1997
A new set of optical implementations of the fractional Fourier transform (FRT) is developed by use of Wigner matrix algebra. The reinterpretation of some elementary operations that synthesize a rotation in the phase-space domain allows us to propose a lensless setup for obtaining the FRT. This compact configuration is also very flexible, because the fractional degree of the transformation can be varied continuously by shifting the input and the output planes along the optical axis by proper amounts. The above results permit one to build an optical FRT processor formed by two FRT systems in cascade, with a spatial filter between them. We present the design of such a variable FRT processor, w…
Towards a Deep Integration of Socio-Economic Action and Spatial Planning
2012
It is now time to recognize that self-organizing socio-economic actors can and must act directly on the pursuit of territorial development and cohesion or, in other words, that the broadest possible number of socio-economic actors must be involved, to this end, in co-creating products, services and innovative content. ICTs can greatly help to go forward in this direction, allowing the merging of regulation, implementation of policies and spontaneous transformation, thanks to their interactivity and their potential of diffusion of “usable knowledge” (Lindblom and Cohen, 1979). The proposed approach relies on the notion of Living Labs (LLs), or better on that of “Territorial Living Labs” (TLL…
Covariant Operator Formalism for Quantized Superfields
1988
The Takahashi-Umezawa method of deriving the free covariant quantization relations from the linear equations of motion is extended to superfields. The Cauchy problem for free superfields is solved, and an expression for the time independent scalar product is given. For the case of interacting fields, we give the general Kallen-Lehmann spectral representation for the two-point superfield Green functions and, after the introduction of the asymptotic condition for superfields, we give the superfield extension of the Yang-Feldman equation. The case of the D = 2 real scalar superfield and the case of the D = 4 chiral superfield are discussed in detail.
A dynamic business modelling approach to design and experiment new business venture strategies
2018
Abstract Business Modelling has evolved as a key activity to reflect new business venture strategy by framing the way a firm will operate and how it will function in achieving its goals (e.g., profitability, growth, innovation, social impact). However, scholars and practitioners have criticized the adoption of a too static perspective in the design and use of conventional Business Model representations. Such a static perspective prevents nascent entrepreneurs experimenting with their Business Models and, as a result, identifying the most effective strategies, especially in terms of business sustainability and profitability. In this paper, we argue that combining conventional Business Model …
Quasi diabatic CASSCF state functions
2002
A new method to determine quasi diabatic (QD) CASSCF states is presented. The adiabatic states are subjected to a unitary transformation resulting from diagonalization of a state-selection operator. The latter is constructed from the overlap of the adiabatic states with a suitable set of reference states. The multi-state (MS) CASPT2 method is used to account for the dynamical correlation effects in an approach where the QD-CASSCF wave functions are used as reference states. The procedure is applied to avoided crossings in excited states of BeH, LiO and ozone. The advantages of the proposed formulation are discussed.
