The tourist project of the SETAP Group for the International Bid of Ideas for Maspalomas Costa Canaria

The city of Maspalomas began building in 1961, year of the celebration of the International Bid of ideas for Maspalomas Costa Canaria. This event was sponsored by the owner of the lands Mr. Alejandro de Castillo y Bravo de Laguna, the Count of Vega Grande. The group of French architects and city planners ATEA and SETAP where awarded first place in the bid. The project stood out due to its high quality details, the respectful distribution with the landscape and the majesty of its urban forms in the different enclaves that comprised the project. The analysis of the professional work of ATEA and SETAP, the city models that were developed in the atelier, the academic experience of working with the ateliers of the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in France by some of the members of SETAP, and the bid, are some of the ideas developed in this investigation.Peer Reviewe

Perspectiva y arbitrabilidad de la Convención Interamericana de Arbitraje Comercial Internacional

Desde una perspectiva internacional, la disciplina jurídica que dispone de los instrumentos más difundidos en el mundo para garantizar su efectividad probablemente es el arbitraje comercial. Dentro de tales instrumentos se destacala Convención de Nueva York de 1958. Adicionalmente, los Estados americanoscuentan con la Convención Interamericana de Arbitraje Comercial Internacional, suscrita en Ciudad de Panamá en 1975. Sin embargo, este documento ha sido objeto de críticas en cuanto a su contenido y posibilidad de ejecución, lo que ha ocasionado que su eficacia y aplicación hayan sido dejadas de lado por parte delos operadores del comercio transnacional para la solución de controversias. En efecto, sus requisitos de arbitrabilidad son poco claros y por ello es necesario precisar su existencia, de manera que la Convención pueda ser reconocida como una verdadera herramienta de consolidación jurídica de la solución pacífica de controversias

La responsabilidad social empresarial en la economía global

The objective of this paper is to show why an important issue in international business and foreign trade has not been taken into account by Latin American companies, in difference of the European companies are putting into practice CSR in their business strategies. The relationship between CSR and financial performance is examined using a new methodology. The average age of the company is highly correlated with the ranking of social responsibility that they have. After this analysis, it appears that there is some correlation between CSR and financial performance of companies.El objetivo de este ensayo es dar a conocer el porqué un tema tan importante dentro de los negocios internacionales y el comercio exterior no ha sido tenido muy en cuenta por las empresas latinoamericanas, a diferencia de las empresas europeas que están poniendo en práctica la RSE dentro de sus estrategias de negocio. La relación entre la responsabilidad social corporativa y el desempeño financiero es examinada con una nueva metodología. La edad promedio de las empresas se encuentra altamente correlacionada con el ranking de responsabilidad social que estas tienen. Este análisis evidencia que existe cierta correlación entre la responsabilidad social corporativa y el desempeño financiero de las empresas

Enlarged Kuramoto Model: Secondary Instability and Transition to Collective Chaos

The emergence of collective synchrony from an incoherent state is a phenomenon essentially described by the Kuramoto model. This canonical model was derived perturbatively, by applying phase reduction to an ensemble of heterogeneous, globally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators. This derivation neglects nonlinearities in the coupling constant. We show here that a comprehensive analysis requires extending the Kuramoto model up to quadratic order. This "enlarged Kuramoto model" comprises three-body (nonpairwise) interactions, which induce strikingly complex phenomenology at certain parameter values. As the coupling is increased, a secondary instability renders the synchronized state unstable, and subsequent bifurcations lead to collective chaos. An efficient numerical study of the thermodynamic limit, valid for Gaussian heterogeneity, is carried out by means of a Fourier-Hermite decomposition of the oscillator density.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure

Particle Identification Using The Threshold Cerenkov Detector with Radial Segmentation (TCDRS)

Presenta un nuevo método para detectar partículas subatómicas como electrón, protón, muón, kaón, protones, con energía máxima de 5 GeV/c. "The Threshold Cerenkov with Radial Segmentation (TCDRS) tiene tres cilindros concéntricos con diferente ambiente dieléctrico, cuatro sintillators que sirven para trigger los eventos de partículas en un tiempo de 5 ns. La correlación de número de fotones producido en el TCDRS y la masa de partículas con la ionización de energía perdida de la partícula son registrados

Analytical Phase Reduction for Weakly Nonlinear Oscillators

Phase reduction is a dimensionality reduction scheme to describe the dynamics of nonlinear oscillators with a single phase variable. While it is crucial in synchronization analysis of coupled oscillators, analytical results are limited to few systems. In this letter, we analytically perform phase reduction for a wide class of oscillators by extending the Poincar\'e-Lindstedt perturbation theory. We exemplify the utility of our approach by analyzing an ensemble of Van der Pol oscillators, where the derived phase model provides analytical predictions of their collective synchronization dynamicsComment: 9 pages, 5 figure

Puntos de corte para el acoso psicológico en el trabajo: el cuestionario breve de actos negativos (S-NAQ) en español

Antecedentes: el acoso psicológico en el trabajo es un estresor laboral severo de origen social. Sin embargo, en el contexto español, hay escasez de medidas que nos permitan diagnosticar de forma fiable si una persona está siendo objeto de acoso. Método: se informa de las propiedades psicométricas, la estructura factorial y los puntos de corte del Cuestionario Breve de Actos Negativos (S-NAQ) en una muestra española (N = 1.409). Resultados: el S-NAQ presenta unas buenas propiedades psicométricas. Los análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios revelan que la escala tiene una única dimensión. Los datos de las curvas ROC indican dos puntos de corte que nos permiten categorizar a las personas como “no expuestas a conductas de acoso” (puntuaciones menores de 15), “en riesgo de ser acosadas” (puntuaciones entre 15 y 22), o “víctimas de acoso” (puntuaciones mayores de 22). Conclusiones: estos puntos de corte pueden facilitar el diagnóstico de acoso y servir para diseñar intervenciones según cada categoría.Background: Workplace bullying is considered a major social stressor at work. However, in the Spanish context, there is a lack of measures that allow researchers and practitioners to distinguish between non-targets and targets of workplace bullying. Method: This study reports the psychometric properties, factor structure, and cutoff scores for the Short-Negative Acts Questionnaire (S-NAQ) in a Spanish sample (N = 1,409). Results: The S-NAQ demonstrated adequate psychometric properties. Moreover, both Exploratory and Confi rmatory Factor Analysis revealed that a unifactorial model of workplace bullying fi t the data best. Two cutoff points for the S-NAQ were formulated using receiver operating characteristic curves to categorize respondents as “not exposed to workplace bullying” (scores below 15), “at risk of being bullied” (scores between 15 and 22), and “targets of workplace bullying” (scores above 22). Conclusions: These cutoff scores may help researchers and practitioners in diagnosing workplace bullying and designing intervention strategies.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación PSI2017-83465-
