Understanding the effects of government spending on consumption

Recent evidence on the effect of government spending shocks on consumption cannot be easily reconciled with existing optimizing business cycle models. We extend the standard New Keynesian model to allow for the presence of rule-of-thumb (non-Ricardian) consumers. We show how the interaction of the latter with sticky prices and deficit financing can account for the existing evidence on the effects of government spending.

3-Core Fiber Modal Analysis

Multicore fibers (MCFs) are expected as a good candidate for overcoming the capacity limit of current optical communication systems. This paper describes the modal analysis of a 3-core MCF taking into account some geometrical and material degrees of freedom. A reasonable tailoring of the modal distribution is shown to be achievable

Understanding the Effects of Government Spending on Consumption

Recent evidence suggests that consumption rises in response to an increase in government spending. That finding cannot be easily reconciled with existing optimizing business cycle models. We extend the standard new Keynesian model to allow for the presence of rule-of-thumb consumers. We show how the interaction of the latter with sticky prices and deficit financing can account for the existing evidence on the effects of government spending.

La cultura somática del alumnado gitano : estudio de un grupo de 6º de primaria

La etnia gitana aparece, en palabras de Jurjo Torres, negada y silenciada en el curriculum, por lo que no se siente identificada con la educación que recibe. Una de las razones de esta situación es el conflicto existente entre la cultura somática escolar y la cultura somática de la propia etnia gitana, puesto que en la primera se prima el silenciamiento y la contención corporal y la segunda se caracteriza por la movilidad y la espontaneidad, por lo que no encuentra sentido a la quietud de sus cuerpos. Mediante este trabajo, trataré de conocer más aspectos acerca de la etnia gitana, realizando un pequeño estudio sobre un grupo de estudiantes gitanos de sexto Primaria, con el que pretendo extraer una serie de datos referidos a su cultura somática. Este trabajo pretende ser un punto de partida para que la cultura gitana tenga un lugar más respetuoso dentro del curriculum.Grado en Educación Primari

Characterization of Active Integrated Multicore Waveguides

This study includes the experimental both passive and active characterization of multicore waveguides written in phosphate glass codoped with erbium and ytterbium, with the aim of designing and optimizing photonic devices based on this type of structures. &nbsp

Agenesia de arteria pulmonar derecha en un neonato. La excepcionalidad del diagnóstico en período perinatal

Pulmonary artery agenesis is a congenital disorder that is usually linked to other congenital cardiac diseases, being infrequently found on an isolated manner. Although it can cause symptoms during childhood, pulmonary arteries isolated anomalies are frequently unnoticed until adolescence or early adulthood and for this reason, its perinatal diagnosis is quite unusual. A case of a newborn is presented in whom a computed tomography angiography (CTA) is performed to confirm the diagnosis of right pulmonary artery agenesis.La agenesia de arteria pulmonar es un trastorno congénito que normalmente se encuentra asociado a otros defectos cardiacos congénitos, siendo extraño que se presente de manera aislada. Aunque puede causar síntomas durante la infancia, las anomalías aisladas de las arterias pulmonares pasan con mucha frecuencia inadvertidas hasta la adolescencia o la edad adulta temprana y, por eso, su diagnóstico en período perinatal es muy poco frecuente. Se presenta el caso de un neonato al cual se le realiza una angiotomografía computarizada (angio TC) para la confirmación del diagnóstico de agenesia de la arteria pulmonar derecha
