Colonial Settlements in the Río de la Plata: Between Transference and Development of Spanish Urban Models

Historiographic approaches to colonial settlements in the Río de la Plata—today Argentina—must consider its condition as a space for the contact between different realities. Confronting European ideas with American reality opened the possibility of innovation when faced with that which was different and experimentation when faced with the unknown. It is vital also to consider the analysis of the territory and its components as a necessary means for understanding the process of the construction of new spaces

Towards a definition of a CRM system life-cycle

In recent years, the interest on research in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems has grown notoriously. Many authors have made individual proposals of interesting topics to be researched around CRM systems, but no overarching research agenda has yet been proposed. Based upon a recent research literature review that we have undertaken, which includes several real case studies conducted in order to learn from CRM experience within specific companies and industries, we propose and detail what appears to be a natural CRM Systems Life-cycle. Although a more focussed cycle has been mentioned for CRM systems implementations, we propose and define in detail a CRM Systems Life-cycle which covers other phases preceding and following implementation. We believe that such a well-defined cycle may help in future proposals of research agendas around CRM systems, as well as in the contextualization of more specific research themes.Postprint (published version

Exposure Monitoring in Developing Countries

Formaldehyde is widely used in the healthcare industry. Formaldehyde is used as a disinfectant and sterilant. In addition, formaldehyde/formalin is used as fixative/ preservative of anatomical specimens in pathology departments. Individuals may experience adverse effects following short term exposure above 0.1ppm. Following a laboratory study in the early 1980s, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified formaldehyde as a human carcinogen in 1987. Although the healthcare industry in the United States made major advancement in the safe use of formaldehyde/formalin since the implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) Formaldehyde standard, other developing countries are still struggling with the proper storage, handling and disposal of formaldehyde. As part of a Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation assessment team, a baseline industrial hygiene exposure assessment took place in the Dominican Republic’s Hospital General de la Plaza de la Salud. This assessment included conducting personal exposure and area monitoring. In addition, an instantaneous monitoring device was use to detect any fluctuations/ Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) conditions. Even though the data listed is limited, it was concluded that a significant level of overexposure to formaldehyde is expected during unplanned leaks from sterilizing equipment and the segregation of specimens from formalin in the morgue area

Notas sobre la revisicón jurisdiccional de las decisiones empresariales en materia de movilidad geográfica

La reforma del mercado de trabajo realizada a través de la modificación del Estatuto de Trabajadores supone un cambio fundamental en el régimen jurídico de la movilidad geográfica, sobre todo desde una óptica flexibilizadora de los contenidos del contrato de trabajo referidos concretamente a la movilidad de la fuerza de trabajo.Gipuzkoako Foru Aldundia/Diputación Foral de Gipuzkoa ; Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitate
