A viability study of social economy companies in the market economic system. A case study of southern Spain

In recent years Social Economy has become more accepted in the current Economic System because capitalist economic system has been shown to be imperfect. In fact, in Spain a Social Economy Law was passed last March, and Andalusia is expected to sign up to the III Pact for Social Economy. Thus, this sector is seen as a possible alternative to the current economic system. This research has attempted to quantify the qualitative components of entrepreneurial ability (innovation, cooperation, functional and productive dependence) in the companies belonging to the Social Economy sector in the territory of Seville and compare them to the traditional entrepreneurial structure from Andalusia through descriptive analysis, to confirm whether this business model based on Social Economy is a viable and a sustainable alternative over time. The results have shown that Social Economic businesses could be a better alternative to the predominant entrepreneurial model

Time-dependent Mechanics and Lagrangian submanifolds of Dirac manifolds

A description of time-dependent Mechanics in terms of Lagrangian submanifolds of Dirac manifolds (in particular, presymplectic and Poisson manifolds) is presented. Two new Tulczyjew triples are discussed. The first one is adapted to the restricted Hamiltonian formalism and the second one is adapted to the extended Hamiltonian formalism

Molecular Diagnostics in the Mycosphaerella Leaf Spot Disease Complex of Banana and for Radopholus similis

Mycosphaerella leaf spots and nematodes threaten banana cultivation worldwide. The Mycosphaerella disease complex involves three related ascomycetous fungi: Mycosphaerella fijiensis, M. musicola and M. eumusae. The exact distribution of these three species and their disease epidemiology remain unclear, since their symptoms and life cycles are rather similar. Diagnosing these diseases and the respective causal agents is based on the presence of host symptoms and fungal fruiting structures, but is time consuming and not conducive to preventive management. In the present study, we developed rapid and robust species-specific diagnostic tools to detect and quantify M. fijiensis, M. musicola and M. eumusae. Conventional species-specific PCR primers were developed based on the actin gene that detected as little as 100, 1 and 10 pg/µl DNA from, respectively, M. fijiensis, M. musicola and M. eumusae. Furthermore, TaqMan real-time quantitative PCR assays that were developed based on the ß-tubulin gene detected quantities as low as 1 pg/µl DNA of each species from pure cultures and 1.6 pg/µl DNA/mg of M. fijiensis from dry leaf tissue. The efficacy of the tests was validated using naturally infected banana leaves. Similar technology has been used to develop a quantitative PCR assay for the banana burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, which is currently being validate

Endurance of quantum coherence due to particle indistinguishability in noisy quantum networks

Quantum coherence, the physical property underlying fundamental phenomena such as multi-particle interference and entanglement, has emerged as a valuable resource upon which modern technologies are founded. In general, the most prominent adversary of quantum coherence is noise arising from the interaction of the associated dynamical system with its environment. Under certain conditions, however, the existence of noise may drive quantum and classical systems to endure intriguing nontrivial effects. In this vein, here we demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, that when two indistinguishable non-interacting particles co-propagate through quantum networks affected by non-dissipative noise, the system always evolves into a steady state in which coherences accounting for particle indistinguishabilty perpetually prevail. Furthermore, we show that the same steady state with surviving quantum coherences is reached even when the initial state exhibits classical correlations.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1709.0433

Marketing y turismo rural: una aplicación metodológica en la provincia de Córdoba

El presente estudio trata de determinar los factores que influyen la demanda del turismo rural en Andalucía, así como las estrategias de marketing que se han de aplicar para modificar dichos factores, todo ello complementado con una investigación de campo en la provincia de Córdoba donde se ha estimado a través de modelos econométricos la influencia de la publicidad en la demanda de turismo rural, así como el grado de satisfacción respecto al destino turístico escogido.In this study we try to establish the different factors which have an influence on the demand of rural tourism in Andalusia, and, at the same time, the marketing strategies we must put into practice in order to modify these factors. Moreover, we complement it with a field research in the province of Cordoba where some econometric models have estimated the influence of advertising on the demand of rural tourism and the degree of satisfaction related to the chosen tourist destination

El turismo como motor de desarrollo económico en ciudades patrimonio de la humanidad

En los albores del siglo XXI el turismo se está convirtiendo en un importante motor económico en diversas áreas geográficas. En este trabajo analizamos la relación que existe entre turismo, cultura y economía, y de cómo cada uno de estos campos están íntimamente unidos en el concepto de turismo cultural. Asimismo, presentamos un análisis del impacto económico que dicho segmento turístico podría tener en las Ciudades Patrimonio de la Humanidad. A tal fin, diseñamos una metodología para realizar dicho análisis y presentamos un estudio empírico del impacto económico producido sobre una ciudad, Córdoba, así como una simulación a corto y medio plazo en el número de pernoctaciones en dicha ciudad que podría ser utilizado para planificar políticas públicas e iniciativas privadas.In the beginning of 21st century, tourism is one of the more important elments in the development of certain geographical areas. I this paper we analyse the relation between tourism, culture and economy, and how all of this subjects are linked to the concept of cultural tourism. Similarly, we present the analysis of the economic impact that this tourist sector culd have on the World Heritage Cities. With this objective, we design a methodology to accumplish this analysis and show an empirical study of the economic impact produced in a city, Córdoba. Furthermore, we plan to make a simulation to the short and medium term of the number of overnights in this city that could be used to plan public politics and private enterprises
