    Full text link
    [EN] In the context of higher education in the XXI century, the different stakeholders (markets, firms, households, States) assume prospective University graduates will be responsible for providing solutions to the most challenging societal problems, delivering sustainable projects and contributing to improve the quality of life of citizenship controlling for the local but also global impact. Academic staff adapt their role continuously to foster students into the acquisition of competences and skills to better fulfill the societal demands.This paper deals with the process of conceptualization, design and implementation of a PBL workshop in an international and multidisciplinary environment. The ISA lab workshop was envisioned by an academic who ideated, planned, designed and empowered others into action. The result was the first edition of the ISA lab workshop, an international multidisciplinary workshop on sustainability.http://ocs.editorial.upv.es/index.php/HEAD/HEAD18Orozco-Messana, J.; De La Poza, E.

    How and Why the Metric Management Model Is Unsustainable: The Case of Spanish Universities from 2005 to 2020

    Full text link
    [EN] The metric management model is a method based on quantitative indicators called metrics and is used to evaluate individuals and organizations. Organizations' sustainability is related to risk and expectation concepts and both are, in turn, related to the metric management model (MMM). The main objective of the present research work is to analyze the MMM applied to the Spanish university system (SUS) and the propagation of its consequences. The secondary objective is to study alternatives to the metric management system applied to the SUS to avoid its negative socio-economic consequences. Our results reveal how applying the MMM to the SUS, based on the metric evaluation and the ranking monitor model, deteriorates research quality, students' levels of education and working people's well-being at university. Finally, university managerial boards, teased with the "mirror" of university rankings and the picture a simulacrum of reality, are still unaware of the damage.Jódar Sánchez, LA.; De La Poza, E.

    Modelling Human Behaviour in the Digital Era: Economic and Social Impacts

    Full text link
    [EN] This paper critically analyses the implications the digitalisation process has on individuals and organization `s behaviour. The digital era has positive aspects such as the access to information on real time from almost any geographical place combined with the shorten the length of time of processes. In addition, new economic trends and paradigms emerge in the digital era. However, we cannot deny the existence of negative or at least unexpected aspects of the digitalization. This work highlights some of the most alarming aspects of digitization that require the attention and implementation of measures by public authorities to prevent from the collateral damages the digitalisation can produce on citizenship well-being.De La Poza, E.; Jódar Sánchez, LA.

    [EN] This work analyzes the relationship between the digital information provided by the search engine Google on the Internet and the volume of sales or revenues in the art market in order to quantify the variable artist's reputation. In particular, the usefulness of digital media information is analyzed to interpret past sales in the art market or, conversely, to estimate future sales in the short term. Finally, we study the ability of digital information to explain the volume of activity (number of lots sold) or what is the same the degree of liquidity of the secondary market of artworks.Castelló Fos, D.; De La Poza, E.; Guadalajara, N.

    [EN] This work deals with the design and development of the SSVC module, which is organised and implemented by European Higher Education Institutions in partnership with Vietnamese Universities. The reform of the Higher Education in Vietnam requires new pedagogical practices and methods which are used in the SSVC module. In addition, the  process of design must include the adjustment of the European content and pedagogical methods into Vietnamese circumstances. Finally, the programme needs to be piloted and assessed.http://ocs.editorial.upv.es/index.php/HEAD/HEAD18Rietbergen, M.; De La Poza, E.; Orozco-Messana, J. (2018).

    Explaining shopping behavior in a market economy country: A short-term mathematical model applied to the case of Spain

    Full text link
    [EN] In recent decades, pathological consumption has become a growing behavioral misbehavior. Impulsive consumption is governed by two internal behavioral mechanisms that respond fundamentally to the hedonism or Pascal effect and to the emulation or Veblen effect. Today's development of technology acts as a catalyst of consumption by increasing access and availability to products, as well as the advertisement impact. This paper presents a compartmental discrete matrix mathematical model that allows short-term estimates of ordinary, impulsive, and pathological buyers in Spain in three different economic scenarios. The results show that impulsive and pathological buyers will increase in all the economic scenarios. Notable differences in the number of ordinary buyers are found for the group aged over 65 years.Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades, Grant/Award Numbers: Spanish MTM2017-89664-PMerello, P.; De La Poza, E.; Jódar Sánchez, LA.

    Modeling Political Corruption in Spain

    Full text link
    [EN] Political corruption is a universal phenomenon. Even though it is a cross-country reality, its level of intensity and the manner of its effect vary worldwide. In Spain, the demonstrated political corruption cases that have been echoed by the media in recent years for their economic, judicial and social significance are merely the tip of the iceberg as regards a problem hidden by many interested parties, plus the shortage of the means to fight against it. This study models and quantifies the population at risk of committing political corruption in Spain by identifying and quantifying the drivers that explain political corruption. Having quantified the problem, the model allows changes to be made in parameters, as well as fiscal, economic and legal measures being simulated, to quantify and better understand their impact on Spanish citizenship. Our results suggest increasing women's leadership positions to mitigate this problem, plus changes in the political Parties' Law in Spain and increasing the judiciary system's budget.De La Poza, E.; Jódar Sánchez, LA.; Merello, P.

    Modeling the Spread of Suicide in Greece

    Full text link
    [EN] Suicide can be defined as the act of purposely ending one's life. The reasons that explain why people commit suicide are complex and encompass multiple and combined factors (demographic, economic, emotional, social). In recent years, deaths by suicide have increased incessantly in Greece, becoming a social problem. The aim of this study is to build a dynamic model through a system of difference equations that quantifies the number of hidden cases of suicide in Greece during the period July 2015 to January 2019. Then, the results obtained from computing the model are compared with the Spanish ones for the same period from previous research.De La Poza, E.; Jódar Sánchez, LA.; Douklia, G. (2019).

    Experiences in Transdisciplinary Education for the Sustainable Development of the Built Environment, the ISAlab Workshop

    Full text link
    [EN] There is a growing recognition and acceptance that society needs to develop new pathways to achieve a more sustainable;future. Our current model of development poses significant challenges when it comes to achieving a more just society based on respect for nature and human rights, and demands a sustainable economy supported by a new circular model supporting the UN sustainable development goals. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) accordingly have developed Master programs that are responsible for providing fundamental services in the joint effort towards sustainability. Meanwhile, leading Universities around the world have developed other very relevant programs. The open and unstructured challenge of sustainability poses an obstacle to existing academic structures. Specifically, the built environment is one of the leading contributors to challenges addressed in the programs such as: Anthropogenic climate change, resource depletion, waste generation and pollution, poverty, and inequity. The Interdisciplinary Sustainable Architecture lab (ISAlab) explores these issues as part of a multidisciplinary approach involving the collaboration of leading Universities from different areas on the world through an innovative initiative. This paper explores the experiences of the ISAlab workshop, which has been taking place yearly in Valencia since 2017. The workshop draws together students from a range of disciplines from across engineering and science, law and the social sciences and from a range of countries and backgrounds, including North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Its purpose is to facilitate a rich co-creative learning environment led by (engineering) academic faculties from across Europe (Spain, the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands and Ireland) as well as North America (the US and Canada), as well as local experts who helped provide participants with appropriate context and guidance. The objective is educating future engineers that are capable of finding robust ways to implement sustainability at a practical level on the built environment, taking account of the multidisciplinary perspective and with the incentive of solving real-life problems.This research has been co-funded by the Erasmus+ KA2 program of the European Union under the "SAUNAC" project.Orozco-Messana, J.; De La Poza, E.; Calabuig-Moreno, R.

    On March 24, 2015, the largest air accident on the European continent of the last decade took place; the Germanwings Flight 9525 crashed. The main objective of this research is to determine the economic-financial impact of this air crash on the market stock price of the involved companies, Lufthansa airline, and its manufacturer Airbus. This study also contributes to determining whether the financial value of both companies was impacted by the media activity after the event. The primary methodology used is the event study methodology, applying both the market model and the Fama–French model. The results reveal that the impact of the Germanwings Flight 9525 on the financial value of the companies involved is different, since there is a significant effect on the financial value of Lufthansa under the market model, and this effect is immediate, but there is no significant effect on the financial value of Airbus with any of the models analyzed. In the same way, it happens when analyzing the impact of the media, since there is only a significant relationship between Lufthansa's share prices and the impact of media research with the market model. These results are important for the companies involved, and especially for their investors. It also shows that the manufacturing company is less vulnerable to the impact of the media, and it does not suffer significant losses on the stock market
