Homogenization of nonlinear partial differential equations

This dissertation is concerned with properties of local fields inside composites made from two materials with different power law behavior. This simple constitutive model is frequently used to describe several phenomena ranging from plasticity to optical nonlinearities in dielectric media. We provide the corrector theory for the strong approximation of fields inside composites made from two power law materials with different exponents. The correctors are used to develop bounds on the local singularity strength for gradient fields inside microstructured media. The bounds are multiscale in nature and can be used to measure the amplification of applied macroscopic fields by the microstructure. These results are shown to hold for finely mixed periodic dispersions of inclusions and for layers

Traduction annotée d’un poème québécois

Emprender la traducción de un poema constituye un desafío que se revela apasionante pues nos exige construir un puente intercultural que nos permite acceder al universo profundo del otro. Esto es lo que nos proponemos hacer al abordar la traducción anotada de un poema que consideramos muy representativo del espíritu quebequense contemporáneo.Fil: Jiménez, Noemí.

La presencia de las finanzas corporativas en revistas de ámbito turístico

Con este estudio pretendemos observar la presencia de investigaciones en finanzas corporativas aplicadas al turismo en el período 1995-2012. Se ha utilizado la base de datos Scopus para revistas turísticas indexadas en el Journal Citacion Reports, y el gestor bibliográfico Mendeley para gestionar los resultados. Se han seleccionado 121 artículos con contenido básicamente relacionado con finanzas de empresa. Los resultados revelan que la tipología de investigación mayoritariamente empleada ha sido la empírica; la temática de mayor interés son la gestión financiera de la empresa, la creación de valor, estructura de capital y decisiones de inversión. También destaca International Journal of Hospitality Management como la revista de mayor presencia financiera en la empresa.The purpose of this study is to observe the presence of corporate finance research applied to tourism during the 1995-2012 period. The Scopus database has been used for tourism journals indexed in Journal Citation Reports and the Mendeley reference manager was used to manage the results. One hundred and twenty-one articles were selected with basically financial content. The results reveal that in the majority of cases empirical research typology was used; the subject matter that aroused most interest was corporate finances and, within this, company financial management, value creation, capital structure and investment decisions. The International Journal of Hospitality Management also stands out as the journal with the greatest presence of finances

Creación, dinamización y puesta en valor del destino turístico emergente: campiña turística sevillana

En el presente artículo intentamos mostrar un modelo de dinamización de La Campiña Turística Sevillana. Para ello, comenzaremos con la creación y justificación del destino turístico, diseñaremos el producto y lo orientaremos hacia la demanda y segmentos turísticos adecuados. Ello está justificado en que esta área geográfica, en los últimos cinco años, ha apostado firmemente por la diversidad y el desarrollo integral del destino, con la vista puesta en un desarrollo turístico sostenible y de calidad, que ha contribuido a mejorar la calidad de vida de su sociedad. La clave turística de este destino está en la diversidad histórica y paisajística que la caracteriza. En estos momentos, Campiña Turística se encuentra en una situación favorable de cara al turismo potencial. Por ello, distintos organismos públicos como Prodetur, S.A., aúnan esfuerzos para unir siete localidades no pertenecientes a una organización territorial determinada, formar el destino turístico emergente Campiña Turística, y dinamizarlo cumpliendo todos los requisitos vigentes en la normativa en materia turística, dotándolo de todos los instrumentos necesarios para poder elevarlo hacia la excelencia.In this article we attempt to provide a dinamization model of the Tourism in the Sevillian Countryside (Campiña Turística Sevillana). To do this, we start with the creation and justification of the destination; we will design the product and demand- driven and appropriate tourist segments. This is justified in this geographic area, as in the last five years, is strongly committed to diversify and arrive at the integral development of destination, in order to reach a sustainable tourism development and quality, which has helped improve the quality of life of their society. The key of this tourist destination is the historic and scenic diversity that characterizes it. At present, Tourism in the Sevillian Countryside is in a good position facing the tourism potential. Therefore, various public bodies as Prodetur SA join forces to connect seven locations without territorial organization determined to form the emerging tourist destination Tourism in the Countryside, doing a dinamization, meeting all requirements in the tourism industry standards, and providing it with all the tools they need to raise it toward excellence

Objective and subjective quality of life in adults with autism spectrum disorders in southern Spain

Subjective and objective measures of quality of life (QoL) were obtained for adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) living in Andalusia (Spain). Seventy-four families responded to question- naires about objective QoL indicators such as employment, health, adaptive behaviour and social network, and were asked to act as proxies for subjective QoL measures. Outcome on objective QoL was extremely poor. Social networks were most frequently composed of family members. Community-oriented resources were absent in most cases. For two-thirds of the families, the ability to act as proxies for subjective QoL was seriously limited by the participants’ poor social and communicative abilities. The results are indicative of the need for additional support to families of adults with ASD and increased community-based resources. Further conceptualization of indicators and measurement of subjective QoL in individuals with severe disabilities and ASD is also needed in order to include their own perspective in the evaluation of service provision

La oferta académica del nuevo grado en turismo en la EUEE de la Universidad de Sevilla y las necesidades formativas demandadas por el sector turístico

El trabajo que se presenta realiza un estudio comparativo entre la oferta académica del Grado en Turismo en la Escuela Universitaria de Estudios Empresariales de la Universidad de Sevilla, en fase de aprobación, y las necesidades formativas que demanda el sector turístico. Mediante una encuesta a entidades, empresas y corporaciones, con las que la EUEE mantiene acuerdos de práctica, se intenta detectar los puntos fuertes y débiles que la oferta formativa del Centro tiene para el sector profesional. Los resultados muestran que los módulos que desarrollan competencias transversales son más valorados que los que desarrollan competencias específicas modulares. Además, todas las materias del Grado tienen una valoración media o alta. Finalmente, los estudiantes realizan actividades de prácticas en empresa que poseen escaso nivel creativo y baja responsabilidad en la organización.This paper presents a comparative study between the offer of an academic Tourism degree at the Business School in the University of Seville, in the process of adoption and the training needs required by the tourism industry. Through a survey of institutions, companies and corporations, with which EUEE maintains placement agreements, we try to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the training Center for the professional sector. The results show that the modules that develop transversals skills are more valued than those that develop specific modules. In addition, all subjects have a medium or high assessment. Finally, students execute work placements that have little creativity and low-level of responsibility in the organization
