Alberto Lista: An anglophile pioneer in Spanish translation
Alberto Lista es una figura pionera en la traducción literaria española.
Una persona multicultural del siglo dieciocho, miembro de un grupo literario
en Sevilla que tornó su mirada hacia la literatura inglesa en una época en la que
la mayoría de los escritores españoles estaban centrándose en la musa francesa.
Es un representante de la Ilustración. Su legado literario incluye poemas de
realización propia, trabajos traducidos desde otras lenguas así como obras que
están inspiradas en literatura foránea. Lista, educado bajo las doctrinas estéticas
de André, Batteux, Marmontel y Blair se dedicó a una poesía de factura cuidada
y de retórica sublime. Los poemas traducidos muestran su predilección por la poesía filosófica y cosmopolita similar a la de Meléndez y Cienfuegos. Le
corresponde un lugar pionero por haber traducido tanto a Milton como a
Alexander Pope al español, cuando la traducción de poesía de latitudes
extranjeras se consideraba como un ejercicio infructuoso. Lista y el grupo
hispalense representan un nuevo amanecer en la cultura española y allanan el
camino para escritores venideros tales como Belmonte Müller o Juan Valera.G.I. HUM 767 (ayudas a Grupos de Investigación de la Junta de Andalucía) / Editorial Comares (colección interlingua
Studies in Trade and Investment: The Development Impact of Information Technology in Trade Facilitation
This chapter describes the impact of information technology (IT) in trade facilitation on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Philippines. The definition of SME varies across countries, and the Government of the Philippines has adopted one that includes micro- and cottage enterprises. The Government classifies establishments into four categories: (a) micro/cottage (1-9 persons in the workforce and with asset limit of P 3 million); (b) small (10-99 workers, with an asset limit of P 15 million); (c) medium (100-199 workers, with asset limit of P 100 million); and (d) large (more than 200 workers, and more than P 100 million in assets).Trade facilitation, automation, garment industry, IT, SMEs, export, customs, Philippines
The Impact of Information Technology in Trade Facilitation on Small and Medium Enterprises in the Philippines
The paper is focusing on electronic lodgment through web-based applications of value-added service providers as the IT-based trade facilitation measure, the survey of Customs Brokers conducted in this study revealed that lodgment time in the Philippines dropped to one hour or less as a result, compared to previous lodgment times of one and a half to one day.Information Techonology, Trade Facilitation, SME, Philippines
High order and energy preserving discontinuous Galerkin methods for the Vlasov-Poisson system
We present a computational study for a family of discontinuous Galerkin
methods for the one dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system that has been recently
introduced. We introduce a slight modification of the methods to allow for
feasible computations while preserving the properties of the original methods.
We study numerically the verification of the theoretical and convergence
analysis, discussing also the conservation properties of the schemes. The
methods are validated through their application to some of the benchmarks in
the simulation of plasma physics.Comment: 44 pages, 28 figure
Space Decompositions and Solvers for Discontinuous Galerkin Methods
We present a brief overview of the different domain and space decomposition
techniques that enter in developing and analyzing solvers for discontinuous
Galerkin methods. Emphasis is given to the novel and distinct features that
arise when considering DG discretizations over conforming methods. Connections
and differences with the conforming approaches are emphasized.Comment: 2 pages 2 figures no table
Modelling the discrete and infrequent official interest rate change in the UK
This paper is an empirical analysis of the manner in which official interest rates are determined by the Bank of England. We use a nonlinear framework that allow for the separate study of factors affecting the magnitude of positive and negative interest rate changes as well as their probabilities. Using this approach, new kinds of monetary shocks are defined and used to evaluate their impact on the UK economy. Among them, unanticipated negative interest rate changes are especially important. The model generalizes previous approaches in the literature and provides a rich methodology to understand central banks' decisions and their consequences
