Heterogeneous distribution in ATLAS

The ATLAS platform allows unsophisticated programmers to include advanced features in their applications with no or very little extra information and effort. These features include network distribution of cooperating processes, a powerful macro-language, a flexible journaling system and some other mechanisms directly related to graphics applications problems. In this report we describe how ATLAS is able to distribute the application processes among different architectures without needing a previous configuration information of the available processes for each architecture.Postprint (published version

Evolución de los géneros de opinión en la España democrática: de la transición a la sociedad de la información

Treball final de Grau en Periodisme. Codi: PE0932. Curs acadèmic 2013/2014El 6 de diciembre de 1978, fecha de ratificación de la nueva Constitución española, supuso uno de los días más relevantes de la corta historia de la nueva prensa del país. Tras múltiples años de represión e inestabilidad debido a la fuerte presión del régimen franquista, los periodistas al fin podían ejercer libremente su profesión refrendados por la carta magna. 32 años después de las primeras elecciones democráticas en la España posfranquista, la prensa generalista ha tenido que adaptarse rápidamente a una sociedad influida por la modernización tanto legislativa como tecnológica. A pesar de haber dejado atrás viejas sombras, problemas como las presiones de, la fragilidad económica o la concentración de medios mantienen su presencia y condicionan la labor profesional de los medios de información y, especialmente, pueden influir a la hora de gestionar la línea editorial del medio. Mediante entrevistas a periodistas, columnistas y expertos hemos indagado en la evolución temática, léxica y pragmática que ha debido hacer la prensa española para adaptar su mensaje en su género que teóricamente más libre, la opinión

La inseparabilidad y el grado de adaptación como determinantes de la internacionalización de las empresas de servicios

[email protected] [email protected] mayor parte de enfoques teóricos de internacionalización han surgido en el marco del sector industrial y, por tanto, algunas explicaciones podrían no ser generalizables al sector servicios en su globalidad. Por ello, las características sectoriales deben ser tenidas en cuenta en el análisis de los modos de entrada de las empresas de servicios, ya que es posible encontrar patrones de comportamiento muy diferentes no sólo con respecto a las empresas industriales sino también entre las propias empresas de servicios. En este trabajo se proponen la inseparabilidad de los servicios y el grado de adaptación a las necesidades del cliente como dimensiones clave para agrupar lo servicios debido a las importantes repercusiones que éstas tienen en un contexto internacional. A partir de un análisis de conglomerados no jerárquico aplicado a una muestra de 113 empresas de servicios españolas, en el trabajo se identifican cuatro grupos de servicios y se constata la existencia de algunas diferencias en los patrones de elección de métodos de entrada según la naturaleza del grupo analizado.The vast majority of theoretical approaches in internationalisation have emerged from manufacturing sector and, thus, some explanations may not be true in the whole service sector. This paper analyses the importance of sector characteristics in the entry mode choice and shows that there are different behaviours patterns not only among the service and manufacturing sectors but also among service firms. In this paper, we propose two characteristics of services, inseparability and customisation degree, as key dimensions to classify services because of their importance in the international arena. From a cluster analysis in a sample of 113 Spanish service firms, this paper identifies four groups of services and it provides evidence about the existence of some differences in the entry mode choice patterns according to the nature of the group being analysed

Josep Antoni Balcells: la ambigüedad política de un catedrático de física-química

Josep Antoni Balcells was professor of physics and chemistry and head of the College of Pharmacy in Barcelona during its whole existence. He warmly and publicly welcomed the inauguration in 1820 of the constitutional period but later worked openly for its liquidation. This alternation of loyalties brought him difficulties first in the década ominosa and then during Espartero’s regency, that he affronted with some writings in his defence. Working in retrospect from the last of these, a little known booklet entitled Dionisio y Honorato, the authors have described the sequence of events

Inseparability and customisation degree as determinants of service firms’ internationalization

Incidence and survival of lymphoid neoplasms in Spain, 2002-2013: A population-based study from the Spanish Network of Cancer Registries (REDECAN)

Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe incidence, incidence trends and survival patterns of lymphoid neoplasms (LNs) and its subtypes in Spain in the period 2002-2013 using data from the Spanish Network of Cancer Registries (REDECAN). Materials and Methods: Data were extracted from 13 Spanish populationbased cancer registries. LNs incident cases were codified using the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, third edition (ICD-O-3) and grouped according to the WHO 2008 classification. Age-standardized incidence rates to the 2013 European standard population (ASIRe) were obtained. Poisson regression models were used to analyze trends in incidence rates and estimate the annual percentage change (APC) for each subtype. The number of cases in Spain for 2023 was estimated by applying the estimated age-specific rates for the year 2023 to the 2023 Spanish population. Observed survival (OS) was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and net survival (NS) by the Pohar-Perme method. Sex- and age-specific estimates of 5-year NS were calculated, as well as its changes according to two periods of diagnosis (2002-2007 and 2008-2013). Results: LNs accounted for 69% (n=39,156) of all hematological malignancies (n=56,751) diagnosed during the period of study. Median age at diagnosis was 67 years (interquartile range (IQR) = 52-77). The overall ASIRe was 34.23 (95% confidence interval (CI): 33.89, 34.57) and showed a marked male predominance in almost all subtypes (global sex ratio = 1.45). During the study period, incidence trends of LNs remained stable (APC: 0.3; 95% CI: -0.1, 0.6), nevertheless some subtypes showed statistically significant variations, such as LNs NOS category (APC: -5.6; 95% CI: -6.8, -4.3). Around 17,926 new cases of LNs will be diagnosed in 2023 in Spain. Survival rates differed considerably across age-groups, while they were similar between men and women. Five- year NS was 62.81% (95% CI: 62.1, 63.52) for all LNs, and varied widely across LNs subtypes, ranging from 39.21% to 90.25%. NS for all LNs improved from the first period of diagnosis to the second one, being 61.57% (95% CI: 60.56, 62.61) in 2002-2007 and 64.17% (95% CI: 63.29, 65.07) in 2008-2013. Conclusions: This study presents the first complete and extensive populationbased analysis of LNs incidence and survival in Spain. These population-based data provide relevant information to better understand the epidemiology of LNs in Southern Europe and it features some useful points for public health authorities and clinicians. However, additional improvements regarding the registration of these hematological neoplasms can be implemented.Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute FIJC110
