LA FUSIÓN CARULLA-VIVERO, ¿CREÓ VALOR?
No full textEl presente trabajo busca determinar si la fusión de las empresas Carulla-Vivero ocurrida en el año 2000 generó valor. Para esto, se estudia el conceptode valor, posteriormente se explica el estudio de caso como metodología deinvestigación para concluir con la exposición del caso mismo de la fusión, ysu resultado. Una vez realizado el análisis de las dos empresas, se hace unacomparación y una valoración por dos metodologías ampliamente aceptadas:los métodos Economic Value Added (EVA) - Weighted Average Cost of Capital(WACC) y Flujo de Caja Histórico, con lo cual se explora en su interior la fusióny se explican los resultados obtenidos en ella. Finalmente, se hace una seriede observaciones, conclusiones y recomendaciones sobre la fusión, asícomo de la metodología del estudio de caso, para el abordaje de temas de laadministración
Jaume Ferran Obra menor i dispersa publicada a Cervera (1953-2004)
No full textAquell recull, que ara presentem, conté peces publicades des de juny de 1953 fins agost de 2004. Més de cinquanta anys de la vida del poeta i escriptor cerverí. Les primeres encara estan redactades i publicades en castellà, però a partir de 1971 ja ho són gairebé sense excepció en català.
Majoritàriament es tracta de textos que va publicar a la revista local Segarra (recordem que la publicació va rebre aquest nom fins desembre de 1996, i que des de gener de 1997, encetant una nova època que encara perdura, es publicà amb el nom de Segarra Actualitat, tot i que a partir d’octubre de 2009 es recuperava la capçalera històrica de Segarra). A banda d’aquesta font majoritària, també hi trobem, amb Jaume Ferran com a autor, una felicitació de Nadal (1955), un recordatori de primera comunió (1958), un text per a una exposició (1971) i diversos textos publicats en diverses seus: revista local Montserè (1985 i 1986), Miscel·lània Cerverina (1988), llibre col·lectiu sobre Tordera (1989), La Revista del CMC (1996) i Quaderns Barri de Sant Magí (1990, 1996, 2001, 2002 i 2004). Aquest recull és exhaustiu respecte de les seves contribucions a la revista Segarra i a la resta de premsa cerverina, però no exhaureix l’obra menor i dispersa de Jaume Ferran, en la recuperació de la qual hi segueix treballant Ramon M. Razquin

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

The new Horizon Europe programme 2021–2028: Should the gap between the burden of mental disorders and the funding of mental health research be filled?
No full textGiven the high burden of mental health disorders, we aimed to assess the extent of funding in Europe addressed to mental health. We observed that the last call of Horizon 2020 addressed only 2.3% of the calls to mental health. Although a greater investment in mental health research and a more equal distribution of funding across European countries has been claimed by European Commission, the actual funding indicates the opposite. Therefore, a better focus on chronic conditions beyond cancer or infectious diseases, including mental health, should be incorporated to the missions of the Horizon Europe programme
SDS-PAGE analysis of Aβ oligomers is disserving research into Alzheimer's disease: Appealing for ESI-IM-MS
No full textThe characterization of amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) oligomer forms and structures is crucial to the advancement in the field of Alzheimeŕs disease (AD). Here we report a critical evaluation of two methods used for this purpose, namely sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), extensively used in the field, and ion mobility coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-IM-MS), an emerging technique with great potential for oligomer characterization. To evaluate their performance, we first obtained pure cross-linked Aβ40 and Aβ42 oligomers of well-defined order. Analysis of these samples by SDS-PAGE revealed that SDS affects the oligomerization state of Aβ42 oligomers, thus providing flawed information on their order and distribution. In contrast, ESI-IM-MS provided accurate information, while also reported on the chemical nature and on the structure of the oligomers. Our findings have important implications as they challenge scientific paradigms in the AD field built upon SDS-PAGE characterization of Aβ oligomer samples
