The paper analyses the contribution of services vis-à-vis manufacturing as a driving force economic growth in developing regions. In doing so, we test Kaldor´s first and second laws for different service categories, providing comparative view across Asia, Latin America, Africa. work focuses attention on importance sector-level disaggregation exploring relationship between productivity growth. H...

with the emergence of new legal regimes such as intellectual property rights, new complexities in the process of determination of applicable law are involved in private international law. the dilution of physical center of gravity for disputes related to intellectual property rights and the effects of utilitarianism in law with an emphasis on public interest has led to the adoption of new metho...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the association between smoke-free laws and asthma prevalence, symptoms, and severity among nonsmoking youth (aged 3-15 years). METHODS We examined data from the 1999-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a cross-sectional survey designed to monitor the health and nutritional status of the US population. Survey locations were dichotomized as having o...

We derive conservation and balance laws for the translational gauge theory of dislocations by applying Noether’s theorem. We present an improved translational gauge theory of dislocations including the dislocation density tensor and the dislocation current tensor. The invariance of the variational principle under the continuous group of transformations is studied. Through Lie’s-infinitesimal in...

This article analyzes the development and framing of Catalonia’s “Law on Centers Worship”, an innovative law dedicated exclusively to regulation religious temples that was passed by regional Parliament in 2009. The a legal novelty Spain, as well Europe, where regulations pertaining places worship are typically folded into or municipal laws ordinances dealing with zoning construction. My analysi...

Much good work on Translation Studies (TS) has concentrated on the verbal text. Nevertheless, in our post-modern world, multi-modality is exploited to the maximum, as advertising shows. In turn, hyper-textuality is also a common feature of today’s advertising messages. Furthermore, both multi-modality and hyper-textuality are ideologically designed not only to sell products but to promote entir...

I review in this presentation some aspects of phenomenology in High Energy Physics which are related to recent and possibly future progress in lattice QCD. In particular, I cover (i) the extraction of CKM matrix elements from B physics, (ii) the determination of ǫ ′ /ǫ , as well as (iii) some issues emerged in the physics of high energy jets produced in hadronic collisions, where input from non...
