Importancia del proyecto en la documentaci??n geom??trica del patrimonio

[ES] La medida y representaci??n del un elemento patrimonial debe responder a unas necesidades. Ser?? dif??cil plantear un proceso de documentaci??n geom??trica encaminado exclusivamente a conservar la informaci??n sobre su forma y dimensiones, si no son determinadas previamente las caracter??sticas de la informaci??n que se requiere conservar: su cantidad, c??mo se almacenar??, se gestionar??, se reproducir?? y difundir??. Se considera al Proyecto de Documentaci??n Geom??trica como el eje vertebrador de la intervenci??n, entendiendo por tal, el documento que recoge las necesidades y circunstancias que rodean al elemento patrimonial, propone resultados para satisfacerlas, plantea alternativas tecnol??gicas junto a la evaluaci??n de los recursos temporales, instrumentales y econ??micos de cada una de las opciones; y en definitiva supone el dise??o de la intervenci??n para la medida y la representaci??n. En este art??culo se analizan las circunstancias que justifican la redacci??n del proyecto y la transcendencia de la generaci??n de este documento en el proceso de la documentaci??n geom??trica.

De Leioa hacía Aracaju: sembrando experiencias transformadoras y construyendo ciudadanía

[ES] Este trabajo de intervención, construido desde la perspectiva sociocrítica, presenta una intervención socioeducativa desarrollada en la ciudad de Aracaju, Brasil. La citada intervención, en, con y para un grupo de personas con escasos recursos económicos, sobre todo mujeres, se basa en la cooperación al desarrollo entendido como instrumento capaz de generar experiencias que posibilitan hacer frente a las consecuencias nefastas de los modelos económico, cultural, político y social dominantes en la actualidad. Entre los impactos de este trabajo podemos citar la fundación de una asociación de vecinas y vecinos, la creación de un perfil de dicha asociación en Facebook y la puesta en marcha de acciones comunitarias como un bingo solidario, talleres de empoderamiento de mujeres y un bazar solidario. Los resultados de este trabajo permiten afirmar que urge el fomento de estrategias, medidas y acciones que favorezcan el paso de un modelo asistencial a un modelo de autonomía.

Análisis de los viveros de empresas en Galicia según su orientación tecnológica o generalista

[ES] El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en analizar la contribución de los viveros de empresas a la economía gallega desglosando entre tecnológicos y generalistas, y si realmente los primeros contribuyen en mayor medida al desarrollo económico que los no tecnológicos. Para ello, se hará una revisión de la literatura que permita conceptualizar la innovación, innovación tecnológica y empresas de base tecnológica. Posteriormente se identificarán los criterios que permitan clasificar a los viveros en tecnológicos y generalistas, se analizarán sus características, propiedad, modelos de gestión, ubicaciones, requisitos de entrada, oferta de servicios, espacios ofertados, años de funcionamiento, así como se estudiarán los recursos económicos, ingresos propios y dependencia de fondos públicos, espacio físicos para los emprendedores, zonas comunes y los recursos humanos asociados por tipo de viveros. Otro apartado será analizar el perfil del emprendedor según el vivero, tipo de actividad desempeñada, género, edad, formación, dificultades para emprender. Finalmente se analizarán las contribuciones por tipo vivero a través de los indicadores de creación de empresas, generación de puestos de trabajo y sostenibilidad empresarial, usando el método de comparación de muestras independientes, con la prueba de Levene para la igualdad de varianzas, tratado con el paquete estadístico SPSS en su versión 22.0.0.0 Terminaremos con las principales conclusiones del presente trabajo.

R&D Policy in Economies with Endogenous Growth and Non-Renewable Resources

The aim of this paper is to analyze how active R&D policies affect the growth rate of an economy with endogenous growth and non-renewable resources. We know from Scholz and Ziemens (1999) and Groth (2006) that in infinitely lived agents (ILA) economies, any active R&D policy increases the growth rate of the economy. To see if this result also appears in economies with finite lifetime agents, we developed an endogenous growth overlapping generations (OLG) economy à la Diamond which uses non-renewable resources as essential inputs in final good’s production. We show analytically that any R&D policy that reduces the use of natural resources implies a raise in the growth rate of the economy. Numerically we show that in economies with low intertemporal elasticity of substitution (IES), active R&D policies lead the economy to increase the depletion of non-renewable resources. Nevertheless, we find that active R&D policies always imply increases in the endogenous growth rate, in both scenarios. Furthermore, when the IES coefficient is lower (greater) than one, active R&D policies affect the growth rate of the economy in the ILA more (less) than in OLG economies.

Social, economic, and health impact of the respiratory syncytial virus: a systematic search

Background: Bronchiolitis caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and its related complications are common in infants born prematurely, with severe congenital heart disease, or bronchopulmonary dysplasia, as well as in immunosuppressed infants. There is a rich literature on the different aspects of RSV infection with a focus, for the most part, on specific risk populations. However, there is a need for a systematic global analysis of the impact of RSV infection in terms of use of resources and health impact on both children and adults. With this aim, we performed a systematic search of scientific evidence on the social, economic, and health impact of RSV infection. Methods: A systematic search of the following databases was performed: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Spanish Medical Index, MEDES-MEDicina in Spanish, Cochrane Plus Library, and Google without time limits. We selected 421 abstracts based on the 6,598 articles identified. From these abstracts, 4 RSV experts selected the most relevant articles. They selected 65 articles. After reading the full articles, 23 of their references were also selected. Finally, one more article found through a literature information alert system was included. Results: The information collected was summarized and organized into the following topics: 1. Impact on health (infections and respiratory complications, mid-to long-term lung function decline, recurrent wheezing, asthma, other complications such as otitis and rhino-conjunctivitis, and mortality; 2. Impact on resources (visits to primary care and specialists offices, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, ICU admissions, diagnostic tests, and treatments); 3. Impact on costs (direct and indirect costs); 4. Impact on quality of life; and 5. Strategies to reduce the impact (interventions on social and hygienic factors and prophylactic treatments). Conclusions: We concluded that 1. The health impact of RSV infection is relevant and goes beyond the acute episode phase; 2. The health impact of RSV infection on children is much better documented than the impact on adults; 3. Further research is needed on mid-and long-term impact of RSV infection on the adult population, especially those at high-risk; 4. There is a need for interventions aimed at reducing the impact of RSV infection by targeting health education, information, and prophylaxis in high-risk populations.

Distribution of Healthcare resources II.Study and Comparison of a Linear Programming Problem and its Dual. Resolution and Evaluation of a Practical Case and its Programming using Excel and Win QSB.

[EN]This research had as primary objective to model different types of problems using linear programming and apply different methods so as to find an adequate solution to them. To achieve this objective, a linear programming problem and its dual were studied and compared. For that, linear programming techniques were provided and an introduction of the duality theory was given, analyzing the dual problem and the duality theorems. Then, a general economic interpretation was given and different optimal dual variables like shadow prices were studied through the next practical case: An aesthetic surgery hospital wanted to organize its monthly waiting list of four types of surgeries to maximize its daily income. To solve this practical case, we modelled the linear programming problem following the relationships between the primal problem and its dual. Additionally, we solved the dual problem graphically, and then we found the optimal solution of the practical case posed through its dual, following the different theorems of the duality theory. Moreover, how Complementary Slackness can help to solve linear programming problems was studied. To facilitate the solution Solver application of Excel and Win QSB programme were used.
