The origin of strong ties: the role of weak ties in the evolution of alliance networks
2017
Studies on the structure of alliance networks have explained how the formation, maintenance, and decay of local within cluster ties and shortcuts with semi-distant and distant organizations drive the emergence and evolution of small world architecture in such networks. Interorganizational ties are distinguished into strong and weak on the basis of their strength. Nonetheless, by focusing mainly on strong alliances ties, previous research has fallen short to explain the role of weak ties among organizations for the evolution of alliance networks. With the aim of scrutinizing the role of weak ties in the establishment, maintaining, and transforming of alliance ties, we develop a conceptual fr…
apuesta por un reconocimiento constitucional amplio del derecho al trabajo y a la seguridad social en Ecuador
2021
espanolLa integracion del derecho al trabajo en el constitucionalismo social de posguerra se caracterizo, entre otras cuestiones, por la incorporacion de la division del trabajo, diferenciando entre aquel remunerado, integrado en las normas constitucionales y sobre el que se asento en gran medida el reconocimiento de un amplio conjunto de derechos sociales; y el no remunerado, ausente del reconocimiento constitucional y normativo y condenado a la invisibilizacion y a ser acumulado sobre el anterior. Esta diferenciacion se fundamento, evidentemente, en la division sexual del trabajo integrada en la conjuncion del patriarcado con el sistema capitalista y recogida en las normas del constitucio…
Implementation Challenges for Supporting Coworking Virtual Enterprises
2013
The creation of co working alliances is usually restricted to the coworkers in the same workspace. However, they might not necessarily be best partners to take advantage of a collaboration opportunity. To break the spatial constrains and find the best partners irrespective of their co working spaces location, our proposal is to represent and manage the co working alliances as virtual enterprises (VEs) and to develop a multi-agent system (MAS) that serves as Virtual Breeding Environment (VBE). In this paper we provide the basis for the future development of this system. Thus, we introduce the co working VEs distinguishing features and the initial proposals on how to implement the MAS to addr…
Studi greci e latini nell?antica Università di Altamura (1748-1821)
2019
The article tries to highlight, despite the scarse of available documentation, the Greek and Latin studies (language and texts) in the ancient Apulian University in Altamura (1748-1821). Furthermore, on the basis of unpublished archival materials (school registers and student workbooks) it is possible to shed light on the ancient authors explained at school, the teaching methods, and the study practices.
Consumers in postmodern society and alternative food networks: The organic food fairs case in Sicily
2012
New consumption habits stand out against the idea of a rational consumer, which is aimed at maximizing utility according to budget constraint. Presently, people have the tendency to behave differently according to various purchase opportunities; a significant role is played by both ethical sides and selfless motivations. These new trends fall within the context of a new social paradigm that foresees postmodern society’s rise. Consumers have the tendency to use the market as an arena in which political, ethical and environmental issues may arise, starting a new trend of an alternative consumption called “political consumerism”. In this paper we’ll try to understand how new consumption habits…
Análisis de las métricas alternativas de Archivos de Bronconeumología durante el periodo 2014-2018
2020
Introduction: Alternative metrics or altmetrics are non-traditional measurements of scientific production that reflect a publication's influence in social networks and similar channels of dissemination. The aim of this study was to analyze the media impact of ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGÍA according to 2 altmetric aggregators and website visits. Methods: This was an observational study of the original articles and review and consensus articles published in ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGÍA during the period 2014-2018. Data from the PlumX Metrics and Altmetric aggregators and visits to the ARCHIVOS DE BRONCONEUMOLOGÍA website were analyzed. Five comparisons were made: by specialty area, by funding …
Disentangling Sources of Gene Tree Discordance in Phylogenomic Data Sets: Testing Ancient Hybridizations in Amaranthaceae s.l.
2019
AbstractGene tree discordance in large genomic data sets can be caused by evolutionary processes such as incomplete lineage sorting and hybridization, as well as model violation, and errors in data processing, orthology inference, and gene tree estimation. Species tree methods that identify and accommodate all sources of conflict are not available, but a combination of multiple approaches can help tease apart alternative sources of conflict. Here, using a phylotranscriptomic analysis in combination with reference genomes, we test a hypothesis of ancient hybridization events within the plant family Amaranthaceae s.l. that was previously supported by morphological, ecological, and Sanger-base…
Italian Amateur Pop-Rock Musicians on Facebook: Mixed Methods and New Findings in Music Making Research
2017
This chapter investigates how and why amateur musicians use social networking sites, employing a mixed-methods approach. Attention is focused on four big Italian Facebook communities of pop-rock musicians: drums, bass, guitar, and keyboard players (overall, 2,101 active users), analyzing the relational and textual data extracted from the web. The chapter analyzes the network structures emerging from the interactions among the users. It also identifies and maps the main areas of discussion (sound shaping, studio recording, marketplace, musical references, computer production, and relations) and the latent semantic dimension characterizing Facebook users’ activities, through social network an…
Riesgo de inundación de la ciudad de Iquitos, Perú
2015
<p>El presente trabajo constituye un diagnóstico aproximado sobre el riesgo de inundación de la ciudad de Iquitos. La finalidad del estudio fue identificar las áreas que presentan riesgos de inundación, en referencia al registro histórico del caudal del río Amazonas en el 2012, para establecer propuestas de gestión y ordenación territorial. La metodología empleada para la elaboración de la cartografía de riesgo se basó en el trabajo de Camarasa y Soriano (2008, 2012), como referencia para la identificación de las unidades de peligro de inundación y vulnerabilidad, a partir de las cartografías de geomorfología, uso actual del suelo, valoración económica del suelo y exposición humana.&…
An Autonomic System for Estimating Human Presence through Bayesian Networks
2010
In the Ambient Intelligence (AmI) context, a relevant research topic is represented by the methods for determining users' presence in order to design context-aware systems capable of monitoring the environment in which they operate, and of timely reacting to changes. This work describes an autonomic software agent comprising a double-level reasoning. At the lower level, a Bayesian network merges the available sensory information related to the users' presence, whereas the upper level performs a meta-reasoning on the system performance and configuration in order to enable the system self-assessment. Experimental results show the validity of the proposed method on a sample scenario.
