(2014). Negotiating conventions and creating community: the case of Cartoon and European animation. Journal of Economic Geography. 14(5):973-993." is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jeg/lbu025This article examines the processes of negotiation and institution building through which transnational networks of learning are fashioned. It does so by examining the case of the European animation industry and the activity of an association, Cartoon, which facilitated the development of common conventions supporting cooperation and learning in this industry. The case draws attention to how issues of institutional context can frustrate collaboration and limit the scope of learning; simultaneously, it illustrates interventions that permitted the negotiation between situated and context-specific understandings on the one hand and the development of shared understandings and common conventions for action within the industry on the other. In sum, the article sheds light on the institutional work required to mobilize situated forms of knowledge and the important bridging functions that institutional entrepreneurs can play in this process.Cole, A.; Barberá Tomás, JD.

Creatividad musical y su impacto en las lenguas extranjeras

Treball Final de Grau en Mestre o Mestra d'Educació Primària. Codi: MP1040. Curs acadèmic: 2018/2019La propuesta inicial en la que he enfocado mi trabajo trata sobre el uso didáctico que nos proporciona la música en diferentes contextos, donde los niños trabajan diferentes tipos de canciones a través de la creatividad e improvisación musical con la finalidad de observar los múltiples beneficios que puede aportar la música para aprender una lengua extranjera, en este caso el inglés. De esta manera, tras contextualizar el valor de la música en la educación en general y en el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras en particular, se presentan diferentes propuestas didácticas partiendo de canciones y juegos musicales para trabajar las distintas áreas (vocabulario, gramática, comprensión.) que componen el aprendizaje de la lengua inglesa en el aula de Primaria. La propuesta final está centrada en la creación de un video musical, donde recopilado la mayor parte del vocabulario en inglés trabajado durante el curso a través de canciones inventadas y desarrollando la creatividad y la improvisación, los niños seleccionen una del repertorio musical tratando un determinado tema y la representen mediante un baile o una danza.The study that is going to be carried out deals with the educational use that music provides us in different contexts, where kids can work on different types of songs through musical creativity and improvisation. The main purpose is to observe the multiple benefits that music can provide to learn a foreign language, in this case English. In this way, after contextualizing the value of music in general education and in the learning of foreign languages in particular, several teaching proposals are introduced by musical games and songs to work on the learning of the English language (vocabulary, grammar, listening comprehension...) in the primary classroom. Finally, an educational project based on creating a music video is introduced. In this project, the children choose one of the songs that they worked on throughout the course developing skills like creativity and improvisation and then they represent it with a dance

The impact of one of the most highly cited university patents: formalisation and localization

Ingenio Working Paper SeriesThis paper examines the underlying mechanisms of knowledge diffusion and interrelationships between formal and informal channels attending to the localisation of spillovers between university and industry. With this aim we present a historical in-depth case study centred in one of the most highly cited university patents, developing and applying a theoretical approach that combines formalisation and localisation analytical dimensions. Our findings show how knowledge diffused through channels with different degrees of formalization (patent licenses, “pure” spillovers and consultancy contracts with the inventors). The case also evidences the pervasive delocalization of several knowledge diffusion channels and the complexity of achieving local impact, even at a privileged environment like California. The crucial diffusion mechanism channel stemmed from bidirectional knowledge flows between the university and a non-regional company, which provided the university with the specific fabrication capabilities needed to create an open-lab programme, which ultimately achieved local impact.Peer reviewe

Dynamic perspectives on technology transfer: introduction to the special section

[EN] Theoretical frameworks acknowledge the dynamic and evolving nature of technology transfer. However, there is a scarcity of empirical work in the field incorporating a dynamic and longitudinal perspective. Several literature reviews call for technology transfer research agendas to include longitudinal studies. In response to such calls, this special section comprises selected contributions to the 2018 Technology Transfer Society (T2S) Conference which address this gap from different angles. The three qualitative and three quantitative works chosen contain research questions and methodologies related to dynamic aspects of technology transfer. We argue that historical and processual studies offer additional new directionsThe editors are grateful to 2018 T2S Conference participants for their comments on the papers published in this special section. We thank the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the Polytechnic Innovation City for their support and hospitality. We are indebted to the reviewers of the papers submitted to this special section. The Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities funded Joaquin M. Azagra-Caro's and Pablo D'Este's contribution to the special section as part of the CSO2016-79045-C2-2-R and the RTI2018-101232-B-100 Projects of the Spanish National R&D&I Plan, respectively.Barberá Tomás, JD.; Azagra-Caro, JM.; Deste Cukierman, P.

Evolution of innovation policy in Emilia-Romagna and Valencia: Similar reality, similar results?

Ingenio Working Paper Series.This paper examines the evolution of regional innovation policy in Emilia-Romagna and Valencia, two regions with similar economic features that implemented close innovation policies in the 1970s and 1980s. We investigate whether their similarities have led to parallel targets, policy tools and governance developments. We show that innovation policy in both regions suffered from the effects of privatization, budget constraints and changes to manufacturing during the 1990s and we highlight the consequences. Although Emilia-Romagna experienced deeper changes to its innovation policy, privatizations and/or the replacement of public funds promoted commercial approaches and induced market failures in both regions. The worst effects of these policies were the implementation of less-risky innovation projects, the shift towards extra-regional projects and markets, and the favouring of large firms.Peer reviewe

What do biomarkers add: Mapping quantitative imaging biomarkers research

[EN] Purpose: To understand the contribution of the concept of "biomarker" to quantitative imaging research. Method: The study consists of a bibliometric and a network analysis of quantitative imaging biomarkers research based on publication data retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) for the period 1976-2017. Co-authorship is used as a proxy for scientific collaboration among research groups. Research groups are disambiguated and assigned to an institutional sector and to a medical specialty or academic discipline. Co-occurrence maps of specialties are built to delineate the collaborative network structure of this emerging field. Results: Two very distinct growth patterns emerged from the 5432 publications retrieved from WoS. Scientific production on 'quantitative imaging biomarkers >> (QIB) began 20 years after the first publications on 'quantitative imaging >> (QI). The field of QIB has exhibited rapid growth becoming the most used term since 2011. Among the 12,882 institutions identified, 56% include the term QIB and 44% include the term QI; among the 14,734 different research groups identified, 60% include the term QIB and 40% the term QI. QIB is characterized by a well-established community of researchers whose largest contributors are in medical specialties (radiology 17%, neurology 16%, mental 10%, oncology 10%), while QI shows a more fragmented and diverse community (radiology 13%, engineering 13%, physics 10%, oncology 9%, neurology 6%, biology 4%, nuclear 3%, computing 3%). This suggests a qualitative difference between QIB and QI networks. Conclusions: Adding biomarkers to quantitative imaging suggests that medical imaging is rapidly evolving, driven by the efforts to translate quantitative imaging research into clinical practice.This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors. Adrian A. Díaz-Faes has received support from a Juan de la Cierva Incorporacion postdoctoral grant from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (IJCI-2017-31454).Meseguer-Castillo, E.; Barberá Tomás, JD.; Benito Amat, C.; Arias-Diaz-Faes, A.; Martí-Bonmatí, L.

¿Innovaciones ocultas en enfermedades raras? Analizando las diversas formas de retorno social de la investigación clínica

Se autoriza la reproducción del contenido, siempre que se cite la procedencia.[ES] El origen de algunas mejoras (o innovaciones ocultas) en la práctica asistencial parece aconsejar paradigmas evaluativos más abiertos a aprehender las diversas, sutiles e indirectas vías potenciales de retorno asistencial de la investigación clínica. En el caso de las enfermedades raras, ya se ha puesto de manifiesto la importancia de los valores europeos compartidos para garantizar la atención sanitaria a estos pacientes mediante las redes europeas de centros de referencia. La gestión que estas redes hagan de las sinergias entre actividades clínicas y de investigación contribuirá a dar forma al futuro de las enfermedades raras en Europa.Barberá Tomás, JD.; Palau, F.; Villanueva-Felez, Á.; Richard Derle, W.
