Social rights. A proposal for an interpretation in conformity in the constitutional review of legislation

En este trabajo se pretende ofrecer algunas pautas para lograr la mejor protección, desarrollo y expansión de los derechos sociales a través de la interpretación constitucional. En concreto, se propone la necesidad de configurar el principio de interpretación de la ley conforme al derecho social involucrado, con especial énfasis en el control constitucional de la ley. En suma, una interpretación pro social de la ley. El análisis utiliza como marco el sistema constitucional español pero los argumentos podrían ser trasladables a cualquier sistema de control constitucional de la leyThis paper seeks to provide some guidelines for achieving the best protection, development and expansion of social rights through constitutional interpretation. Specifically, it proposes the need to set the principle of interpretation of the law under social right involved, with special emphasis on the judicial review; in sum, a pro-social interpretation of the statutes. The analysis uses as a framework the Spanish constitutional system but the arguments could be useful to any system of constitutional review of legislatio

Do biosphere reserves bolster community resilience in coupled human and natural systems? Evidence from 5 case studies in Spain

16 p.Our research provides evidence that critical junctures in coupled human and natural systems may stimulate the undertaking of sustainability transition actions in biosphere reserves (BRs). Specifcally, we explored whether BRs bolster community resilience, defned according to eight parameters identifed in disaster management theory. We found that, based on evidence from fve case studies in Spain, BR initiatives enhanced community resilience though governmental obstacles to local community initiatives and increasing telecoupling mediated by the institutional legacy efect of corporatism continues to constrain the ability of BR managers to develop what they perceive as more social-ecologically sustainable landscape management and commodity productionMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidade

Optimización de Coeficientes de Absorción para Simulación Numérica Acústica

The following work presents a methodology to optimize the absorption coefficients, conventionally considered as the main input parameters of room acoustical simulators. In the first place a presentation of the main characteristics of the acoustic simulator is made. Next, the procedure that is based on a modified “hill-climbing” approach is detailed. It performs the optimization of the coefficients value in an iterative procedure, which includes the calculation of the acoustic quality parameters (AQPs) with the results of an acoustic simulation of a real room. The AQPs from each simulation are compared with experimental measurements performed in the room, used as a reference for iterative adjustments. Finally, the results of the last iteration show a substantial reduction of the error, showing differences of 5.83% with the AQPs measured in the real room. &nbsp

Real Time Auralization Module for Electronic Travel Aid Devices for People with Visual Disability

This paper presents a software module for real-timeauralization that was used to recreate the acoustic perceptionproduced by a sound obstacle in virtual and real environments.This module fulfills the function of inserting, in any audio signal,a three-dimensional positioning effect that allows the listenerto determine the location of a sound source within the chosentest environment. This effect was achieved with a processingtechnique called segmented convolution and several functionscontained in a database of head related impulse responses(HRIRs). The module was tested in a real environment anda virtual one. In the real test environment, the user had astereoscopic camera that fulfilled the function of an obstacledetector, as well as a computer and headphones, in which themodule was installed and three-dimensional sound alerts weregenerated. In this way, the effects could be recorded, analyzed,discussed and finally validated

Music preferences as an instrument of emotional self-regulation along the business cycle.

This paper studies the influence of macroeconomic conditions on subjective wellbeing and music preferences. The macroeconomic cycle exerts an effect on happiness and well-being that consumers counterbalance by modifying music consumption. We use machine learning techniques to make a weekly classification of the top 100 songs of Billboard Hot 100 into positive and negative lyrics over the period 1958?2019. When unemployment is high, society generally prefers more positive songs. Other macroeconomic indicators such as high inflation, high interest rates or low stock market prices also affect musical preferences. These results provide initial evidence regarding the use of cultural consumption to offset business cycle oscillations

A development and implementation of a tinnitus treatment method

Tinnitus is a physiological phenomenon where a person listens sounds which have not been generated by any external source. Today, many people suffer this condition. Although, in very few cases therapeutic methods completely eliminate tinnitus, it is possible to apply a variety of techniques to improve the quality of life of people with this condition. One of the most used methods to treat tinnitus consists of masking the tinnitus using an external sound. The main goal of this work is to present the development of a tinnitus treatment method, which optimizes the synthesized sounds in order to improve the life's quality of the user. Subjective tests and experimental results are used to analyze the performance of the method.Fil: Uriz, Alejandro José. Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata. Facultad de Ingeniería.

Estado actual y perspectivas de las bibliotecas digitales latinas

En este trabajo, se hace una revisión de las bibliotecas electrónicas disponibles para profesionales de la Filología latina. Se parte de la base de que el uso de las Tecno- logías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (TIC) no puede ser considerado ajeno a nuestro normal desempeño, pero tampoco una moda más. Las herramientas deben servir para algo concreto, de donde que la evaluación de su utilidad sea un elemento básico del trabajo de cualquier campo científico. Tras una reflexión inicial acerca del concepto y lí- mites de las bibliotecas electrónicas, se hace un repaso por las principales, atendiendo so- bre todo a su facilidad de uso y a la utilidad de los materiales que proporciona

Drafting 'better regulation": The economic cost of regulatory complexity

Different public agencies are seeking to draft ?better regulation?. Complex or poorly drafted norms are more difficult for economic agents to implement, tending to erode economic efficiency. The literature has so far concentrated on the analysis of regulatory complexity as a phenomenon related to the ?quantity? of norms. This article guides the process of adopting new regulations, taking into account that norms can also be complex due to new ?qualitative? reasons such as linguistic ambiguity or relational structure (references between legal documents). To perform the analysis, we develop new indicators for legibility and regulatory interconnectedness. Specifically, we construct a new database (RECOS ? REgulation COmplexity in Spain) by extracting information from 8171 norms (61 million words) which comprise the regulations of all the Spanish Autonomous regions. Our analysis reveals the relationship between measures of ?qualitative? complexity and relevant economic (productivity) and institutional (judicial efficacy) variables. This researc
