Rovviltforvaltning og reindriftsnæringen: Hvordan kan en todelt målsetting praktiseres i samsvar med internasjonale konvensjoner?
Authors: Eilertsen Svein Morten , Riseth Jan Åge
Published: November 2021

In Norway, both reindeer herders and sheep farmers base their meat production on natural outfield (utmark) pastures during the summer. In winter, most of the sheep are housed and fed indoors, while the reindeer survive on outfield pastures the whole year. During the last few decades, the losses of both sheep and reindeer to protected carnivores has increased in several areas in Norway. In this article, we focus on reindeer herding in the Troms and Nordland reindeer grazing area (reinbeiteområde). Due to large losses of reindeer calves, during the period from their birth in spring until late autumn, several reindeer herding districts hardly have any animals for slaughter. This has a very negative impact on both the economy and the cultural way of life. This article also discusses the reasons why it is difficult to document/prove who or what is responsible for the losses of reindeer calves. It is difficult to get permission to cull extra-active predators if the politically determined quota in each management region is not fulfilled. Documenting the correct number of predators inside each management region is therefore very important for reindeer herding and sheep farming. This has led to criticism and demonstrations by reindeer herders and sheep farmers. Norwegian predator policy formally builds on differentiated management. However, external review reveals that the management model builds on erroneous assumptions. Further, international law also requires that the burden created by predators does not unduly affect indigenous culture. The authors conclude that there is a need for extensive reforms in predator management in Norway.

Review on the Thermal Performance on the Basis of Different Types of Material used in Ball Bearings
Authors: Shukla Vinay Kumar
Published: November 2021

Bearing is a movable object, so frictional forces must be overcome in terms of moving the Bearing. To decrease the friction force on the movable methodology, different kinds of bearings have been used. The bearing gets its characterized by the fact that it is used to support a rotating axle or shaft. Because rolling bearings utilize balls or rollers, they are referred to as "rolling components." one can measure bearing expected lifespan depending on the material exhaustion if one can understand the operations and maintenance of loads and speeds. These computations should be based on the assumption that now the bearing is appropriately installed, lubricated, and moreover treated. It is unable to account for the impact of detrimental operating environment. Damaged bearing has a significant economic and industrial implications. Numerous substance are used in the bearing sector to several bearing elements. To achieve maximum bearing performance and durability, the products are deposited to obtain intended characteristics. The components listed in this are the most frequently used. The different materials used in ball bearings are discussed in this paper.

O extrativismo de bauxita é um dos mais importantes segmentos da indústria mineradora do Brasil. Apesar disso, sua exploração ocorre principalmente na região norte do país, onde encontra-se a Floresta Amazônica. O desmatamento para a prática extrativista pode levar a danos ambientais irreversíveis. O objetivo do estudo é a análise temporal da recuperação vegetal em uma área impactada pela mineração de bauxita no Pará, Brasil, por meio da técnica de regeneração natural. A análise foi realizada utilizando imagens de satélite Landsat para calcular o Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada - NDVI, o Índice de Vegetação Ajustado ao Solo - SAVI e o Índice de Vegetação Melhorado - EVI, por meio de análises numéricas e visuais. As datas das imagens cobrem o período pré impacto (1984-2006), durante a mineração (2007-2009) e após a aplicação da regeneração natural (2010-2019). A técnica de regeneração natural, mostrou-se eficiente para a melhoria da área. Pela análise numérica, a recuperação, após a aplicação da técnica, corresponde a um crescimento dos valores absolutos de 110% para o NDVI e SAVI e 120% para o EVI. Na avaliação visual detectou-se heterogeneidade quanto à recuperação, o que possibilita a definição de regiões passíveis de futuras intervenções. Verifica-se que após dez anos da aplicação da técnica, a região encontra-se em estágio de desenvolvimento próximo ao estágio avançado de recuperação. Assim, as técnicas de recuperação precisam ser estrategicamente escolhidas e acompanhadas a longo prazo.
Espacios para el arte en un edificio moderno. Móvil y murales | Cincinnati’s Terrace Plaza
Authors: Parga Andrea
Published: November 2021

El proyecto del Terrace Plaza en Cincinnati fue desarrollado de un modo particular por la firma de arquitectos Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) entre 1945-1948. El edificio reunió grandes almacenes, oficinas, bares, restaurantes y apartamentos en una única y singular intervención; numerosos recursos operativos sumaron matices importantes al complejo ensamblaje. Los niveles elevados presentaron interiores cuidadosamente diseñados con vistas hacia el derredor, y la extensión de las salas gastronómicas hacia las terrazas mejoró la calidad de estos ámbitos abiertos en altura. También fue significativa la forma en que el arte y el entorno construido se entrelazaron a través de eventos espaciales orquestados con esmero. Revistas especializadas y documentos de archivo evidencian el papel que los artistas Calder, Steinberg, Davis y Miró desempeñaron en la arquitectura del edificio. El ensayo se centra en el sistema espacial del hotel y, en específico, en la interacción del arte y el proyecto arquitectónico.

Formas de vida en el sueño de la ciudad. O cómo la arquitectura se convierte en el pastor del imaginario colectivo.
Authors: Tapia Martín Carlos , Minguet Medina Jorge
Published: November 2021

No es común analizar la ciudad y la arquitectura contemporáneas desde la noción de «sueño» y, sin embargo, un rastreo minucioso detecta en la historia de la arquitectura toda una batería de síntomas no metafóricos del sueño, compartiendo escenario con la acción del neoliberalismo que induce en las sociedades deseos como lo ha hecho en la historia la religión. Los humanos, que comparten ese escenario con otros seres, no humanos, se vuelven dóciles y sus problemas no se derivan de sus actitudes, sino que, a su vez, tienen «vida» propia, intratables. El artículo, para expresar cómo se convierte la arquitectura en pastor del imaginario colectivo, esgrime que los arquitectos ya no son ni demiurgos ni marionetas, como decía Lefebvre. Son pastores de esta religión de sueños individuales soñados por la ciudad que, a su vez, sueña, como forma de vida autónoma, la forma de vida de sus moradores.
Una huella del academicismo arquitectónico en Córdoba: la torre de la iglesia de Santa María Magdalena
Authors: Ruiz Carrasco Jesús María
Published: November 2021

La llegada del prelado Antonio Caballero y Góngora a la Diócesis de Córdoba significó la puesta en marcha de un proceso destinado a implantar a lo largo y ancho de la misma los novedosos preceptos artísticos academicistas. Para procurar su éxito requirió el establecimiento en Córdoba de tres artistas académicos, entre los que se encontraba Ignacio Tomás, arquitecto encargado de la proyección y dirección de nuevas obras constructivas que simbolizaran públicamente el codiciado cambio estético. Ejemplo de su actividad en la ciudad cordobesa es la torre de la iglesia de la Magdalena, cuya edificación representa cada una de las circunstancias que condicionaron la consecución de la iniciativa episcopal. Una obra paradigmática de la introducción del academicismo arquitectónico en Córdoba.
The Aim of Inquiry
Authors: Archer Avery
Published: November 2021

I defend the thesis that the constitutive aim of inquiring into some question, Q, is improving one’s epistemic standing with respect to Q. Call this the epistemic-improvement view. I consider and ultimately reject two alternative accounts of the constitutive aim of inquiry—namely, the thesis that inquiry aims at knowledge and the thesis that inquiry aims at (justified) belief—and I use my criticisms as a foil for clarifying and motivating the epistemic-improvement view. I also consider and reject a pair of normative theses about when inquiry goes awry or is inappropriate. The first is the normative thesis defended by Dennis Whitcomb who claims that inquiry goes awry if it culminates in a belief that falls short of knowledge and that one should not inquire into Q if one already knows the answer to Q. The second is the normative thesis defended by Jane Friedman who claims that one should not inquire into Q if one already believes some complete answer to Q.
Self-Heating Coal Waste Fire Monitoring and Related Environmental Problems: Case Studies from Poland and Ukraine

Published: November 2021

The self-heating of coal waste dumps is considered as a serious environmental issue, wherever active or inactive coal mining has been present. This issue is introduced from two active coal mining regions from Poland (Upper Silesian Coal Basin) and Ukraine (Donetsk Coal Basin) based on mineralogy, organic petrography and geochemistry, and remote sensing techniques. Thermally affected coal wastes reveal changes recorded by organic and mineral matter. Irregular cracks and fissures appear within and at the edges of organic matter particles, which are oxidised, devolatilised and plasticised. Mineral phases underwent oxidation, dehydration, structure rebuilding and recrystallisation. Highest temperatures generated during the fire cause melting and paralava formation. During self-heating, some chalcophile elements like Hg (mostly present as HgS), Pb, Zn can be enriched and released, or different organic pollutants like phenols (originated from vitrinite particles), different PAHs with alkyl substitutes, chlorinated PAHs, or sulphur heterocycles are formed. The introduced remote sensing techniques helped to localise and monitor hot spots with different temperature ranges. Applying SWIR bands of Landsat hot spots from extremely burning dumps in Ukraine were successfully localised, however, only night-time scenes with SWIR can be used. The sun’s disturbing effects should be considered as an influential factor for both thermal imaging camera or satellite images. Thermal cameras can reveal the most detailed signs of low to high temperature anomalies with different cracks and line shapes.
Non-coplanar volumetric modulated arc therapy for locoregional radiotherapy of left-sided breast cancer including internal mammary nodes
Authors: Xu Yuan , Ma Pan , Hu Zhihui , Tian Yuan , Men Kuo , Wang Shulian , Xu Yingjie , Dai Jianrong
Published: November 2021

Background

Non-coplanar volumetric modulated arc therapy (ncVMAT) is proposed to reduce toxicity in heart and lungs for locoregional radiotherapy of left-sided breast cancer, including internal mammary nodes (IMN).

Patients and methods

This retrospective study included 10 patients with left-sided breast cancer who underwent locoregional radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery. For each patient, the ncVMAT plan was designed with four partial arcs comprising two coplanar arcs and two non-coplanar arcs, with a couch rotating to 90°. The prescribed dose was normalized to cover 95% of planning target volume (PTV), with 50 Gy delivered in 25 fractions. For each ncVMAT plan, dosimetric parameters were compared with the coplanar volumetric modulated arc therapy (coV-MAT) plan.

Results

T here were improvements in conformity index, homogeneity index and V55 of total target volume (PTVall) comparing ncVMAT to coVMAT (p < 0.001). Among the organs at risk, the average V30, V20, V10, V5, and mean dose (Dmean) of the heart decreased significantly (p < 0.001). Furthermore, ncVMAT significantly reduced the mean V20, V10, V5, and Dmean of left lung and the mean V10 and V5 and Dmean of contralateral lung (p < 0.001). An improved sparing of the left anterior descending coronary artery and right breast were also observed with ncVMAT (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

Compared to coVMAT, ncVMAT provides improved conformity and homogeneity of whole P TV, better dose sparing of the heart, bilateral lungs, left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), and right breast for locoregional radiotherapy of left-sided breast cancer with IMN, potentially reducing the risk of normal tissue damage.

Theatre Associations in Working Class Neighbourhoods: between Politicisation and Public Action
Authors: Quercia Francesca
Published: November 2021

For about thirty years now, in the context of urban policies, number of theater associations carry out projects in working-class neighborhoods providing active participation of their inhabitants. Based on an ethnographic survey in France and Italy, this article highlights the discursive politicisation processes within these associations. Participatory theatre provides a framework a priori conducive to generate “public spirited-political conversations”. However, these processes can be hampered by a set of public funding constraints.

Academic tutoring as a form of personalized language education: a project and practice at the University of Gdańsk (Poland)
Authors: Hinc J. , Mampe J. , Jarosz A.
Published: November 2021

The current paper elaborates on the effects of introducing elements of personalized education in the academic tutoring programme realized at the University of Gdańsk (in short UG, Poland). It begins with an outline of the key objectives of the project called Ideal Quality in Good Quantity, which was introduced at the University of Gdansk in the years 2014–2016. The programme originally aimed at equipping academic teachers with tools suitable for implementing elements of individualized didactics. Moreover, the project assumed a practical application of the aforementioned tools in scholarly work of the tutors who realized their own tutoring sessions with students representing various fields of study (philological, pedagogical and culture studies, to mention some of them). The project’s initial conception, i.e. Ideal quality in good quantity, is continued forward in the so-called Centrum Tutorów UG as well as in the form of faculties’ internal initiatives. In the paper the reader will find a description of fragments of individualized didactic work implemented in teaching French and German as foreign languages and psychology.
Consumers’ Preference and Willingness-To-Pay for Different Varieties of Pepper in Osun State, Nigeria
Authors: Yesufu Olufemi Adedotun , Ojedokun Ajibola , Adegbile Mary Adetoun
Published: November 2021

The study was conducted to assess consumers’ preference and willingness to pay for different pepper varieties in Osun State, Nigeria. The study used the major pepper types – Capsicum chinenses (Rodo), C. annum (Tatase), C. frutescens (Sombo) and C. pubescens (Bawa), being sold in the markets in Osun State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was used to collect data from 100 respondents. The primary data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study showed that consumers mostly preferred and were willing to pay more for C. chinenses (Rodo) than any other types of pepper. Household size, primary occupation, total household income, availability and meal-making ability of pepper were the factors that influenced consumers’ preference for the different varieties of pepper while the willingness to pay for pepper varieties by consumers was influenced by affordability, availability, taste and thickness. The study recommends that since availability and affordability influenced preference and willingness to pay for pepper varieties, policies should be aimed at increasing farmers’ production as this will ensure that pepper is readily available and affordable for consumers.
Some Properties of Probiotic Yoghurt Produced for Babies by Adding Fruit Puree, Containing B. infantis, B. bifidum, B. longum, L. paracasei
Authors: Sözeri Atik Didem , Çoşkun Fatma
Published: November 2021

Probiotic yoghurt with fruit was produced to enrich the intestinal flora of infants and to prevent various ailments in infants when the flora is inadequate. Peach, apple and pear purees (10% and 20% each), cow milk, milk powder, starter culture (combination of Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus paracasei) were used in the production of probiotic yogurt for babies. Some properties of yoghurt samples were investigated during fermentation and on the 1st, 7th, 14th and 21st days of storage. After ten hours of fermentation, the lowest pH was observed in samples with apple puree. It has been determined that syneresis increases with increasing concentrations of fruit purees. The water holding capacity was less in yoghurts containing fruit puree compared to control yoghurt and in 20% fruit puree compared to yoghurts containing 10% fruit puree. The number of L. bulgaricus generally increased in all samples during storage. It was determined that the number of S. thermophilus in control sample was higher than other samples during storage. The number of L. paracasei and Bifidobacterium spp. decreased during storage. While the control sample remained probiotic until the 14th day of storage, other samples lost its probiotic properties before the 7th day of storage. Considering that the number of probiotic microorganisms in a probiotic product should be at least 106-107 CFU/g according to FAO, it has been decided that the most suitable fruits for probiotic yogurt with fruit puree are peach and apple, respectively. Considering the structural features, it is more appropriate to use 10% fruit puree, and considering the probiotic feature, it is more appropriate to use 20% fruit puree. Choosing the appropriate packaging and fixing suitable storage conditions will help probiotic microorganisms to preserve their vitality for a long time.

This study was performed to evaluate the chemical composition of the essential oils of Mentha arvensis and Thymus linearis and their antimicrobial activities. The complexity of the essential oils is a basic challenge for determining their reliable and accurate compositional data. Rapid advances in spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques have resolved this challenge to a large extent by examining essential oils. Essential oils were analyzed through Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) following extraction through steam distillation from their leaves for the first time in Miandam, District Swat, KP, Pakistan. The GC-MS analysis revealed 26 and 25 components in the essential oil of Mentha arvensis and Thymus linearis respectively. The major components were carvone (23.53%), P-Cymen-2-ol (20.35%), and caryophyllene oxide (18.81%) in Mentha arvensis but Thymus linearis has Thymol (2-isopropyl-5-methyl phenol) (40%), O-Cymene (2-Isopropyltoluene) (14.95%) and beta-bisbolene (12.54%). The essential oils of both plants showed bactericidal activities against five different bacterial strains (i.e. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klesiella pneumonia, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) during disc diffusion method and therefore it is suggested that they may be used as a natural antiseptic and could play important roles in food and pharmaceutical industry.

The present study was carried out to identify genomic regions associated with maltose in 2 F2 populations through assessment of sugars using HPLC and genotyping using SSR markers across the genome. SSR markers, Sat_216 (chr 12) and Satt681 (chr 6) in F2 population I and Sat_105 (chr 20) in F2 population II showed significant (P< 0.5) association with maltose content through single marker analysis (SMA) with LOD score of 3.18 (R2 =9.7), 2.54 (R2 =6.8), and 3.54 (R2 =10.4), respectively. Composite interval mapping analysis (CIM) let to identify different QTLs (other than SMA) for maltose content on chr 11, chr 13 and chr 17 in F2 population I while chr 6 and chr15 in F2 population II. QTLs identified for maltose content are in proximity of known functional genes responsible for degradation of starch into maltose. QTLs identified for maltose in the study may be deployed for improving efficiency of marker assisted breeding for development of soybean genotypes with high levels of this sugar.

Zea mays is an important crop and an essential source of fatty acids. Hence, increasing and adding new fatty acids led to the enhancement of these properties. Transformation of external Acetyl-CoA gene (Aco) can enhance fatty acid components, as ACo is expressed into Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) enzyme, which is the first essential step in the fatty acid production process. Chitosan nanoparticles are safe and fast polymer nanoparticles that are applied for gene transformation. Conventional PCR was performed for the detection of the ACo gene in both transgenic and nontransgenic maize lines. The results confirm the presence of the gene in the transgenic lines and absence in non-transgenic lines. The Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis for fatty acid contents in transgenic and non-transgenic maize lines showed an increase in fatty acid contents in transgenic lines compared to non-transgenic ones. Besides, the transgenic maize’s lines produced extra new fatty acids not found in non-transgenic ones.

In addition, due to the corrosive effect of some groups of microorganisms, such as iron-oxidizing bacteria and sulphatereducing bacteria, the present paper also aimed to detect their presence in order to signal the need for some disinfection measures. According to physicochemical analysis, there has been found an external drain that is suitable for use in balneotherapy, presenting a balanced content of mineral elements such as sulphur, calcium, silicon, chlorine and potassium. However, due to the presence of potentially toxic phytoplankton microorganisms such as Microcystis sp. and Phormidium sp. it is necessary to disinfect this water source before using it for any purpose. On the other hand, the identification of both sulphate-reducing bacteria and iron-oxidizing bacteria in the drainage waters of Siriu dam should be considered as an alarm signal as they may lead to bio-corrosion and deterioration of metallic or concrete structures, affecting the integrity of the dam and hydropower constructions.

Thermo-alkaline stable lipase producing B. coagulans was isolated and identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. The lipase production was optimized using different growth parameters. The enzyme was purified and characterized in terms of pH, temperature, solvents, heavy metal ions and inhibitors. Compatibility with commercially available detergents was also studied. The isolate showed maximum lipase production at 37 ⁰C; pH of 9 within 48 h. Addition of magnesium chloride increased lipase production. Sephadex G-100 chromatography was used to purify lipase. The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 8 of 30 ⁰C. Lipase form B. coagulans was active at a wide range of temperature between 30-70 ⁰C. It was stable in most of the solvents at a concentration 5 and 10%, except dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol. Iodoacetic acid (IAA) and p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (pCMB) had an inhibitory effect on lipase. The lipase was compatible with commercially available detergents that increased the brightness and whiteness of the tested cotton fabrics. Lipase from B. coagulans with alkaline stability at a wide range of temperature has potential application in the detergent industry.

Authors: Mozas Moral Adoración , Bernal Jurado Enrique
Published: November 2021

El sector del olivar y del aceite de oliva, constituye uno de los sectores estratégicos dentro del ámbito agrario andaluz. Sólo en la provincia de Jaén, el peso de su producción alcanza entre el 20 y el 25 por 100 del total mundial. Sin embargo, en torno al 90 por 100 de la producción se vende a granel. En estas circunstancias, el      uso de las TIC para fines comerciales representa una oportunidad de las empresas del sector para llegar a los consumidores finales mediante aceites envasados y/o la eliminación de intermediarios en la venta a granel. En   este contexto, el objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar, mediante los resultados de un trabajo de campo realizado al efecto, cuál es el nivel de utilización de Internet en la gestión empresarial, especialmente en  el   ámbito comercial, entre las empresas oleícolas jiennenses.
Population Ageing, Dependency and Healthcare Services Utilisation
Authors: HernandezNavarro Espigares Jose Luis , Hernández Torres Elisa , García Muñoz Teresa
Published: November 2021

The increase in the percentage of the elderly (the population 65 years or older) in developed countries is a cause for concern about the levels of health care services expenditures and the widening of long-term care services in these countries. The current debate includes the issue of establishing a system of protection for dependence as a new modality of social protection. The objective of this paper is to analyse the evolution of the degree of dependence in the Spanish population over 65 years during the period between 1997 and 2003, and to estimate the impact of dependence on health status and health care utilisation for the same period. An increasing trend of dependence prevalence as well as of the consumption of health care services has been found. A statistical association between the degree of dependence and the variables of health status, drug consumption and in-patient services has been observed. But this association is not significant in the case of medical consultations. The low degree of association between dependence and out-patient health care services strengthens the hypothesis that the elderly population presents specific necessities, oriented to assistance of dependence needs rather than ambulatory health care services.

Este trabajo pretende, en primer lugar, conocer la percepción de las empresas del País Vasco sobre la importancia y motivos para la valoración de los intangibles, en segundo lugar, constatar la tipología de intangibles predominantes en estas empresas; y finalmente verificar el grado de aplicabilidad del método de valoración financiera desarrollado por Rodríguez-Castellanos et al. (2006a, 2007). Para el logro de estos objetivos se han realizado 517 encuestas a directores financieros de empresas del País Vasco. Los resultados muestran el alto interés de las empresas por la valoración de los intangibles, siendo los intangibles asociados a competencias su principal factor de competitividad. Aún siendo posible la aplicación del método de valoración financiera contrastado, debe destacarse la necesidad de realizar esfuerzos previos para mejorar el conocimiento que las empresas tienen sobre sus intangibles.
La estructura de mercado del sector de las artes escénicas en España
Authors: Bonet Lluís , Villarroya Anna
Published: November 2021

La diversidad de agentes y de comportamientos, así como la complejidad que encierra la existencia e interrelación de dos mercados, el de la producción y el de la difusión, han dificultado el estudio del sistema escénico español desde perspectivas científicas. Con el objetivo de cubrir parcialmente ese vacío y presentar las especificidades de dicho sistema, el presente trabajo utiliza el marco analítico de la teoría de la organización industrial basado en la secuencia real estructura-estrategias-resultados, corregida y adaptada a las especificidades de un sector como el cultural, altamente intervenido por las Administraciones públicas. Este esquema analítico ha permitido no sólo una aproximación más completa al análisis del mercado escénico español, sino que ha proporcionado un nuevo marco teórico aplicable a otros sectores con un alto nivel de intervención gubernamental.
Estado actual y nuevas aproximaciones a la medición de la pobreza
Authors: HernandezNúñez Velázquez José Javier
Published: November 2021

En el presente artículo, se pasa revista a la evolución y las perspectivas futuras del análisis de la pobreza, con especial énfasis en los estudios llevados a cabo en el caso español. Así, en primer lugar, tras centrar el concepto de pobreza, se presenta el análisis unidimensional basado en la posición económica de las unidades perceptoras, analizando cada una de sus componentes, así como su estudio conjunto a través de curvas IID.Posteriormente, se pasa revista al análisis dinámico de la pobreza, desde la perspectiva del estudio del historial de pobreza que presentan las unidades, dando lugar a conceptos como episodios de pobreza, transiciones, o pobreza crónica y transitoria.Finalmente, se analizan las líneas de investigación más novedosas, que abarcan tanto la pobreza desde el punto de vista multidimensional como otros aspectos conexos como los de vulnerabilidad o exclusión social.
La medición de la calidad de vida en Europa, el papel de la información subjetiva

El estudio de la calidad de vida en la UE ha cobrado un especial interés en la segunda mitad de los años ochenta y en la década de los noventa ante la necesidad por parte de los políticos de disponer de una información de calidad que resulte útil en la toma de decisiones políticas y en su valoración.El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos de la Unión Europea reflexionado sobre si existen diferencias entre este concepto al emplear o no información de tipo subjetivo subjetiva. A la hora de medir y cuantificar la calidad de vida se han empleado diversas metodologías y aproximaciones, pero quizás la más importante y generalizada es la de los indicadores sociales. En este enfoque, el concepto a investigar es descompuesto en diversas dimensiones, que así mismo están integradas por indicadores sociales, de forma que la calidad de vida se obtiene como una combinación de la información de estos indicadores. En general, los métodos para construir indicadores sintéticos son particularmente interesantes en este campo de investigación, especialmente en el contexto de la UE, en concreto en este artículo proponemos utilizar la medida de distancia DP2.

Factores como la aparición en el mercado de nuevas formas de financiación, los nuevos patrones de consumo y ahorro, o la estabilidad macroeconómica de los últimos años han impulsado el incremento del endeudamiento de los hogares. Sin embargo, la situación de endeudamiento de una familia puede derivar en una de ahogo financiero y de quiebra familiar en escenarios de inestabilidad en el nivel de renta o los tipos de interés. La gravedad de este hecho ha animado a llevar a cabo este estudio sobre la situación de endeudamiento y sobreendeudamiento de las familias vascas. El estudio ha identificado un incremento muy significativo de hogares al borde de la quiebra financiera. Según este estudio, el 5% de las familias vascas sufren esta extremada situación.

Authors: Podadera Rivera Pablo
Published: November 2021

El propio proceso de construcción de la Unión Europea, supone en sí mismo un proceso de construcción social en Europa, en el sentido en que infiere una confluencia de actores, gubernamentales, no gubernamentales, nacionales, transnacionales y comunitarios, todos los cuales pretenden, o deben pretender, una dimensión supranacional, compatible con la dimensión local, regional y nacional, de lo social, es decir, el espacio social europeo. El presente artículo pretende ofrecer una visión temporal del mencionado proceso, a través del análisis de la evolución de la política social europea, del balance de situación actual de los resultados de aplicación de la Agenda de la Política Social y de la evolución de los indicadores de la Estrategia de Lisboa.
Evolución de la eficiencia técnica de la industria textil española en el periodo 1995-2005. Análisis mediante un modelo frontera estocástica*
Authors: Coll-Serrano V. , Blasco-Blasco O. M.
Published: November 2021

La industria textil española, con un peso relativo importante en la manufactura, se encuentra sumida en una profunda crisis como consecuencia de la cada vez más agresiva e intensa competencia ejercida por los países productores de bajo coste. Si bien la eficiencia no agota el conjunto de estrategias para ser competitivo, la presencia de competidores induce a su búsqueda (Porter, 1990). En este trabajo se examina la evolución de la eficiencia técnica del textil español. Con tal finalidad, para el periodo 1995-2005 y cada uno de los siete grupos de actividad en que puede subdividirse la industria textil, se estima una frontera de producción estocástica de tipo translog. Los resultados empíricos muestran que en la primera mitad del periodo la mayor parte de los grupos textiles presentaban elevados niveles de eficiencia, que atribuimos a una situación de complacencia y mantenimiento del estatus; y en la segunda mitad, posiblemente como consecuencia de la liberalización del sector (1 de enero de 2005), aumenta la ineficiencia, que identificamos con la respuesta de una parte de las empresas, motor de cambio y dinamizadoras del sector, al nuevo escenario competitivo.
The effects of KIBS outsourcing on Aragon firms’ efficiency
Authors: Rubiera Morollón Fernando , Gómez Loscos Ana , Pardos Eva
Published: November 2021

The use of Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS) has become an essential element for competitiveness in modern economies. New competitive advantages often relate to capacity of innovation, the correct use of information and communication technologies, product design or market analysis, among others. The activities related to these new advantages require a great specialization in order to obtain high levels of efficiency. This is the main reason that explains the general tendency to contract externally KIBS. Nevertheless, externalisation is not necessarily a guarantee of efficiency. This paper focuses on Aragon, with a relatively under-developed supply of KIBS, and explores the effect of the use and external provision of these services on regional firms’ efficiency. We use a database of tertiary and secondary firms and apply a non-parametric approach, the DEA technique, to this analysis. Results show that the mere use of KIBS has no clear effect on efficiency, but such a clear effect can be observed when some types of these activities are externally consumed.
