The objective of this article is to analyse empirically the problem mobbing in Spain. Based on fifth Spanish survey working conditions, we find that during 2003, around 5% workers declared being mobbed at their workplace. Some personal, job characteristics and conditions are found be significant explaining probability a victim. Finally, differences variables affecting such depending victim's gender.

The prostaglandin J₂ derivative 15-deoxy-Δ^12,14-prostaglandin (15d-PGJ₂) is a very active compound with important effects on inflammation, apoptosis, and cell growth processes. To exert this broad range of effects, 15d-PGJ₂ binds alters the activity diverse proteins, which consequently are postulated to be mediators its action. Among them transcription factors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ nuclear factor κB, thought play an essential...

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to evaluate effect mobbing in workers’ health. Design/methodology/approach Using a dataset Spanish workers from VI Survey on Working Conditions, authors identify mobbed and not use two different health indicators: worker's perception that work affects health, presence bad symptoms. analyze incidence both indicators then estimate an econometric model explain probability suffering terms set job characteristics. deal with potential endogeneity mobbing....

In the traditional literature on Lucas–Uzawa model, it is proved that in so‐called normal parametric case, human capital stock grows at a rate greater than its long‐run counterpart neighbourhood of balanced growth path. We first prove claim true outside neighborhood paths. More importantly, we identify crucial asymmetry: whatever case considered, physical always lower when ratio to above value.

Market liberalization and the expansion of variable renewable energy sources in power systems have made dynamics electricity prices more uncertain, leading them to show high volatility with sudden, unexpected price spikes. Thus, developing accurate modeling forecasting techniques is a challenge for all market participants regulatory authorities. This paper proposes approach based on using auction data fit supply demand curves. More specifically, we linear (LinX-Model) logistic (LogX-Model)...

AbstractThis article studies the services exchanged in a particular Spanish time bank. Using data from users and transactions, we analyse users' profile as well determinants of providing receiving different services. Our results show that representative user is female, not married, middle aged, highly educated unemployed. We also find differences personal characteristics driving supply demand services.Keywords: bankingcommunity currencyinformal economyprobit modelsJEL Classification:...

We study optimal sustainable policies in a benchmark logistic world (where both population and technological progress follow laws of motion) subject to pollution ceiling. The main policy the hands benevolent planner is abatement, ultimately leading control dirtiness index as early literature limits growth literature. Besides inclusion demographic dynamics, we also hypothesize that size affects negatively natural regeneration or assimilation rate, side product human activities (like...

Notifiable avian influenza (NAI) had never been reported in Spain, until July 2006 when a dead Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) was found positive to the highly pathogenic H5N1 subtype as part of active wild bird surveillance plan. The current program Spanish Ministry Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food (MAPA)'s strategic preventive plan against NAI is divided following parts: identification risk areas species, increased biosecurity measures, early detection infection with...

This paper studies technology adoption in an optimal growth model with embodied technical change. The economy consists of the final good sector, capital and sector which role is imitation exogenous innovations. Scarce labor resources are allocated to sectors. consumption sector. authors analytically characterize long run allocations. Using a calibrated version model, they find that acceleration rate change should not be responded by immediate strong effort. Instead, decrease short run,...

We construct optimal growth models where labor resources can be allocated either to production, technology adoption or capital maintenance. first characterize the balanced paths of a benchmark model without Then we introduce maintenance activity via depreciation rate capital. allocation across three activities. Although deepens technological gap by diverting from adoption, show that it generally increases long run output level. Moreover, find equilibrium and efforts respond in opposite...

We construct a vintage capital model à la Whelan (2002) with both exogenous embodied and disembodied technical progress, variable utilization of each vintage. The lifetime goods is endogenous it relies on the associated maintenance costs. study properties balanced growth paths. First, we show that an increasing (resp. decreasing) function rate embodied) progress. Second, use-related depreciation scrapping increase when progress accelerates. However, latter drops accelerates while former...

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background and objective.</bold> The available research on low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy in gynecology cancer has focused mainly treatment toxicity. It does not include aspects such as sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, satisfaction, or quality of life. This study assessed function life before after LDR cervical endometrial patients. We also identified risk factors that contribute to the loss those associated with an improvement 3–6 months...

This article uses transaction data from three time banks located in Barcelona to analyze their potential generate bonding and bridging social capital for members. Regarding capital, the findings are line with related literature terms of average number trading partners ego-network density. However, reciprocity is a more frequent form behavior our than other countries. Concerning considering different age groups, results show slight evidence homophilic behavior, although intergenerational...
