Large‐scale set partitioning problems: Some real‐world instances hide a beneficial structure
2006
In this paper we consider large‐scale set partitioning problems. Our main purpose is to show that real‐world set partitioning problems originating from the container‐trucking industry are easier to tackle in respect to general ones. We show such different behavior through computational experiments: in particular, we have applied both a heuristic algorithm and some exact solution approaches to real‐world instances as well as to benchmark instances from Beasley OR‐library. Moreover, in order to gain an insight into the structure of the real‐world instances, we have performed and evaluated various instance perturbations.

Overcoming Neuroessentialism. Towards an Integral Notion of Subjectivity for Moral Neuroeducation
2019
The aim of this chapter is to underscore a series of significant philosophical flaws encountered in current research devoted to neuroscience and neuroethics, and furthermore to challenge the neuroessentialist paradigm that locates subjectivity within the confines of the brain. Instead I argue for an integral concept of the self that is based within the body, and whose plural character is permeated with values, emotions and feelings, while also being situated within the community of the lifeworld. Research on moral neuroeducation, and neuroscience in general, should develop a more holistic approach towards subjectivity and look at the person as a psychophysical and social being, with a multi…
Historicism: Some Thoughts on Life-World
1993
More than three decades ago, Walter Biemel read a paper at the Third Colloquium of Philosophy at Royaumont on “The Decisive Phases in the Development of Husserl’s Philosophy” that seemed to be definitive.1 Notwithstanding the great value of the facts and reflections that he provided, and the numerous studies devoted afterwards to the same problem, it is not easy to fix different stages in Husserl’s work. This difficulty is increased by the lack of a strict synchrony between the works that Husserl himself published and those that remained unpublished after his death and have been laboriously recovered by his disciples. Actually, in manuscripts belonging to early moments in his life we find t…
TV politics showed in Twitter: Media and followers
2015
The aim of this work is to present an ongoing research relating to the use of Twitter by the media; a corpus of 3000 tweets from three TV politic shows are being analized (Los desayunos de TVE, in the public channel TVE1, and Las Mananas Cuatro and Al Rojo Vivo, of private channels Cuatro and La Sexta) and a corpus of 1523 tweets responses produced by followers. The analysis model used is a neuropragmatic based linguistic model, that consider brands of subjectivity and interaction as a direct corollary of the theory of mind.
Regional heterogeneity in the business environment: the case of Italy
2022
How do we evaluate the business environment of regional economies? This paper makes use of primary data from the World Bank’s Subnational Doing Business studies to analyze the capacity of Italian regions to facilitate entrepre- neurs in setting up and operating new businesses. By comparing data across locations and over time, we are able to identify best practices that may help policy makers in the implementation of reforms aiming at improving the business environ- ment of Italian regions and, as a result, of the country.
Audiovisual accessibility on the web: subtitling in the European Parliament
2020
El presente trabajo pone de relevancia la importancia de la accesibilidad en la sociedad de la información actual, en concreto, en Internet, por lo que analizaremos el cumplimiento de los requisitos de accesibilidad a los contenidos audiovisuales establecidos por las Pautas de Accesibilidad al Contenido Web (WCAG) 2.0 en el canal de televisión online EuroparlTV. Asimismo, trazaremos el vínculo inherente entre la accesibilidad web y la audiovisual y describiremos los subtítulos generados por profesionales de la traducción en el ámbito institucional, concretamente en el Parlamento Europeo. Para llevar a cabo nuestro objetivo y poder realizar el estudio sistemático y exhaustivo de distintos as…

Mapping 123 million neonatal, infant and child deaths between 2000 and 2017
2019
Since 2000, many countries have achieved considerable success in improving child survival, but localized progress remains unclear. To inform efforts towards United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3.2—to end preventable child deaths by 2030—we need consistently estimated data at the subnational level regarding child mortality rates and trends. Here we quantified, for the period 2000–2017, the subnational variation in mortality rates and number of deaths of neonates, infants and children under 5 years of age within 99 low- and middle-income countries using a geostatistical survival model. We estimated that 32% of children under 5 in these countries lived in districts that had attained ra…
Sustainability and Care: On a Philosophical Contribution to the Project of Sustainability
2015
In this chapter, Hans Herlof Grelland argues that care is an inherent element in how we can see the world. It is included in our lifeworld perspective. By using Heidegger and Kierkegaard, Grelland thereby shows how sustainability and care can be argued from a philosophical perspective. This provides a thought-provoking introduction to concern or care, setting the scene for a strategy in philosophical terms which highlights the role of education. “Care implies responsibility, and awareness of this responsibility is the beginning of the change which has to come”.
Patterns of Old World Hipparionine Evolutionary Diversification and Biogeographic Extension
1990
Hipparionine horses have long been united evolutionarily by the presence of three toes per digit, having high crowned cheek teeth with cement, and isolated proto-cones on upper cheek teeth (Christol, 1832). Geochronologically they have further been recognized as the preeminent large mammal “index” fossils for late Neogene Old World deposits. Their abundance in later Neogene mammal faunas has prompted the production of a staggering body of systematic and interpretive literature during the last 150 years. In the last 40 years there has been an increasing number of attempts to reorganize parts of Old World hipparionine systematics by regional studies of variable scope including Europe in gener…
