The Place of Indications of Geographical Origin in the Intellectual Property System
2014
As indicated in the introductory chapter of this book, different designations are used for denoting goods and services in the trade which are not congeneric from the legal point of view. Among those designations, there are also those which contain a reference to a particular geographical place, i.e. geographical designations. This situation is successfully revealed in materials of one international conference by indicating that many designations which are used in commerce may contain a geographical reference (yet their legal nature is different) by distinguishing three different groups of such designations:

Effect of steel collars on the seismic behaviour of axially-cracked historical stone columns
2014
Granite and heavy stone circular columns could often be found in the cultural heritage among ancient churches and historical buildings in all the Mediterranean area. Their good strength properties allow them to carry big load values, while their bright colours and aesthetical characteristics were used by a lot of architects in the past to achieve structural solutions with great visual impact.Though such materials have great compressive strength values, environmental effects, especially long term effects, can damage the structural members, by cracking them. In this way the slenderness of the column increases, and the presence of an imposed ground motion can be very dangerous, since the colum…
Letras de cine : tipografía queer para formar a docentes en diversidad y cultura visual
2021
En este trabajo presentamos una serie de propuestas para innovar en el ámbito de la formación de docentes desde una perspectiva crítica. Basándonos en el arte y el diseño incorporamos aspectos creativos que van desde los discursos textuales de la cultura visual (cine) o el diseño (tipografías) hasta cuestiones de diversidad sexual y disidencias queer. Impulsamos experiencias creativas introduciendo como elemento de referencia el estudio de las tipografías diseñadas para películas de temática LGTB. Revisamos la tradición tipográfica de los elementos gráficos vinculados al cine como los carteles o las cabeceras de películas. Abordamos cuestiones transversales desde una óptica multidisciplinar…
Health-Related Quality of Life in Old Age: How to Define it, How to Study?
1995
Quality of life, in the words of Alvan R. Feinstein is something like intelligence. “Everyone knows it exists and thinks they can identify it in various ways, but we may not be able to evoke universal agreement on what it is” (Feinstein, 1987, p. 639). This is also true of quality of life when we consider it from a health point of view. The concept itself seems to be perfectly useful, but at the same time there is something very confusing and even irritating about it. What are we talking about when we talk about health-related quality of life? Do we really need this concept if we think of all the countless number of terms and concepts that refer to different dimensions of health-related phe…

Clustering Analysis of Questionnaire for Ph.D. studies in Electrical and Information Engineering in Europe
2013
The ELLEIEC ERASMUS thematic network was running from October 2008 to September 2011. This project deals with several aspects linked to Lifelong Learning in Electrical and Information Engineering in Europe. Within this project, Task 4 is dedicated to “Implementation issues across EIE”. The idea of this task was to see how we can, thanks to implementation using Programs available from the European Commission, and associates (ERASMUS, CD, ERASMUS-MUNDUS, ATLANTIS, IP) to emphasize and develop mobility and cross-recognition. Another aspect, strongly connected, was to analyze the existing and possible interactions of Higher Education Institutions and Lifelong Learning. The European consortium o…

Business Cooperation - Improving The Working Life Relevance of Higher Education
2021
Education programmes should provide students with the skills for working life. This is important not only for students, but also for companies. Skills refers, in addition to competence in a specific area, to general competencies, working life practices in common use and, for example, knowledge of software used in the business world. It is even more important to take into account the needs of working life when teaching adult students, who often study alongside work with the aim of progressing in their careers. In spring 2019, Kokkola University Consortium Chydenius conducted a survey targeting information and communication technology (ICT) companies in its local area. The results highlighted…
