The Implication of Groups with Direct Influences on Political Decision-Making: It’s a Chance to Stoke up Governments’ Role?

In this work we present a model basis on Bernheim-Whinston model, which considers that political decisions are the result of various interactions between groups with direct influence (GDI) on political decision making. According to our approach, this model stokes up government role which consists in to strengthen not only the competitiveness amongst lobbies which occurs in an flawed market and non-market and political framework, but also in the creation of counterweight power among the aforementioned lobbies, therefore a explicit regulation is required to give an efficient response to rapid politician market changes.flawed state, political decision-making, groups with direct influence (GDI), competitiveness, counterweight powers, and explicit regulation.

Competencia e incentivos a la cooperación en la interacción de grupos de interés que pretenden aumentar su influencia política directa: ¿cuál es la importancia de la presión política?

This study is about the interactions between GDI and government under political pressure, in a context with an agency relationship and the existence of relevant information. In particular, interactions are studied when the agency relationship is with symmetric information and it is build a research model of the GDI-government interactions in a context with an agency relationship and asymmetric information, where groups can operate in a competitive or cooperative manner. The model highlights that government expectations of utility are higher when the GDI works together, and the benefit when the GDI makes pressure in an independent way is limited to the reserve. Cooperation establishes a type of relations based on credibility that benefit to the government and the GIDI, and this will help to strengthen those linksGroups with Direct Influence (GDI), Political Pressure, Lobby (-ing), Agency Relationship, Symmetric and Asymmetric information

Effects of activist shareholding on corporate social responsibility reporting practices: an empirical study in Spain

New business practices are mainly characteristic of large firms especially those quoted on the stock market. Listed companies show a higher commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices because capital markets allow activists to become a firm's socially oriented shareholders. These actors although small in number have a significant influence over other larger block-holders. Recent decades have witnessed a significant increase in societal pressure to control the behavior of companies owing to the risks deriving from the economic social and environmental effects of their business activity. The aim of this work is to test the effect that CSR activist shareholders have on the decision to disclose corporate social responsibility information in the Spanish context controlling for the rest of the dimensions in Ullmann's theoretical framework.Las nuevas prácticas empresariales son eminentemente privativas de las grandes firmas especialmente aquellas listadas en los mercados de valores. Las firmas en mercado muestran un mayor compromiso hacia las prácticas de responsabilidad social corporativa (CSR por sus siglas en inglés) porque los mercados de capital permiten a los activistas convertirse en accionistas de la firma socialmente orientados. Estos actores aunque pequeños en Issueero tienen una influencia significativa sobre los grandes accionistas. En décadas recientes se ha observado un aumento importante en la presión social para controlar el comportamiento de las corporaciones debido a los riesgos sociales económicos y medioambientales causados por los efectos de su actividad empresarial. El propósito de este trabajo es evaluar el efecto que los socios activistas de CSR tienen sobre la decisión de publicar información sobre la responsabilidad social corporativa en el contexto español controlando por el resto de las dimensiones en el marco teórico de Ullmann

Impact of DM direct searches and the LHC analyses on branon phenomenology

Dark Matter direct detection experiments are able to exclude interesting parameter space regions of particle models which predict an important amount of thermal relics. We use recent data to constrain the branon model and to compute the region that is favored by CDMS measurements. Within this work, we also update present colliders constraints with new studies coming from the LHC. Despite the present low luminosity, it is remarkable that for heavy branons, CMS and ATLAS measurements are already more constraining than previous analyses performed with TEVATRON and LEP data.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figure

Maximal cluster sets of L-analytic functions along arbitrary curves

Let Ω be a domain in the N-dimensional real space, L be an elliptic differential operator, and (Tn) be a sequence whose members belong to a certain class of operators defined on the space of L-analytic functions on Ω. It is proved in this paper the existence of a dense linear manifold of L-analytic functions all of whose nonzero members have maximal cluster sets under the action of every Tn along any curve ending at the boundary of Ω such that its ω-limit does not contain any component of the boundary. The above class contains all partial differentiation operators ∂ α, hence the statement extends earlier results due to Boivin, Gauthier and Paramonov, and to the first, third and fourth authors.Plan Andaluz de Investigación (Junta de Andalucía)Ministerio de Ciencia y TecnologíaFondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regiona

Hausdorff and Box dimensions of continuous functions and lineability

Given s ∈ (1, 2], we study (among other questions) the algebraic genericity of the set of continuous functions f : [0, 1] → R whose graph has Hausdorff (or Box) dimension exactly s.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO). EspañaPlan Andaluz de Investigación (Junta de Andalucía

Universal Taylor series with maximal cluster sets

We link the overconvergence properties of certain Taylor series in the unit disk to the maximality of their cluster sets, so connecting outer wild behavior to inner wild behavior. Specifically, it is proved the existence of a dense linear manifold of holomorphic functions in the disk that are, except for zero, universal Taylor series in the sense of Nestoridis and, simultaneously, have maximal cluster sets along many curves tending to the boundary. Moreover, it is constructed a dense linear manifold of universal Taylor series having, for each boundary point, limit zero along some path which is tangent to the corresponding radius. Finally, it is proved the existence of a closed infinite dimensional manifold of holomorphic functions enjoying the two-fold wild behavior specified at the beginning

LA ORIENTACIÓN PROFESIONAL PEDAGÓGICA DESDE EL PROCESO DE EXTENSIÓN UNIVERSITARIA EN EL CUM TAGUASCO

Esta investigación pretende valorar la transformación sociocultural y resultados alcanzados en el territorio de Taguasco con la intervención del Centro Universitario Municipal (CUM) en la orientación profesional pedagógica, desde el proceso de extensión universitaria, el cual contribuye a fortalecer el vínculo universidad-comunidad, donde educandos y educadores resultan protagonistas del proceso docente educativo. Por este motivo constituye una necesidad apremiante la introducción de acciones  que logren un incremento significativo de la motivación hacia la profesión pedagógica, por la constante demanda de educadores que presenta este municipio. Se utiliza como base de la investigación el análisis cualitativo, estudio del contenido, la observación, entrevista a los implicados, y evaluación de los resultados en cada acción, lo que contribuye al logro de la motivación en estos discentes. Con este propósito surge el proyecto sociocultural extensionista “presente y futuro de luz”, que responde a la necesidad de fortalecer la orientación profesional pedagógica y la captación de estudiantes con actitud y aptitud para estudiar y ejercer el magisterio pedagógico. Entre los resultados alcanzados se pueden mencionar: el protagonismo del Centro Universitario Municipal en su vínculo con las comunidades, el incremento en la matrícula de carreras pedagógicas, crecimiento de la participación en los Círculos de Interés de Pedagogía, fortalecimiento de la atención a maestros jubilados, reincorporados y alfabetizadores, los estudiantes de práctica pedagógica están insertados en los proyectos y cátedras honoríficas del CUM. Todo esto corrobora la factibilidad del proyecto “presente y futuro de luz” en la orientación profesional pedagógica del municipio
