A «scaleup» company presupposes the next phase of expansion or growth of a «startup» company, taking into account parameters of employees and turnover growth. As the subsequent evolutionary phase of a «startup» company, the «scaleup» company is, also, considered to have an improved product or service. This paper analyses the "Scaleup Market", studying its legal and market configuration. Likewise, the figure of the Nominated Advisor and its legal regime are studied and analysed. At the time of development of this work, there are two companies trading on the «BME Scaleup » Market: ALFIL PATRIMONIAL SOCIMI, S.A. and SOLVENTO GROUP 2022 SOCIMI, S.A. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the main changes introduced by Law 28/2022, of 21 December, on the promotion of the startup ecosystem, commonly known as the "Startup Law", more than a year after its entry into force. We will focus on the issues that most directly affect the entrepreneurial and investor ecosystem, and we will address some of the issues that raise the most interpretative doubts or that we believe could have been reworded to cover a larger number of companies.

Despite the fact that the concept of inclusion is increasingly present in Spanish libraries, recent research has shown that libraries are normally still far from being inclusive. After reviewing the main definitions of the concept of inclusive library in the Ibero-American context, the library community is invited to broaden the scope and dimension of the term following the work done in the business sector and in libraries from English-speaking countries. This paper reviews some of the initiatives to achieve inclusion carried out in Spanish libraries and the differentiating aspects that make a library inclusive or not. The paper also offers some guidelines that may bring us closer to the creation of truly inclusive libraries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study is to establish the capacity of the cane and paper industry waste in order to obtain a source of auxiliary cellulose to the primary source, that is currently wood. It was shown that the paper made with the cellulose obtained from the African rachis and the cane bagasse has an equal tension force. The process to obtain cellulose was made by the treatment of lignine with nitric acid and ethanol and the treatment for the hemicellulose was made with sodium hydroxide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Start-ups, due to their high growth potential, face the problem of raising finance. This paper reflects on the empirical evidence dealing with conflicts of interest that arise in the field of equity financing by new partners. When the firm wishes to make a new share issue, it faces the problem of information asymmetry when setting an issue price. As a result, the shareholder tries to protect himself through anti-dilution clauses. Empirical studies show an interest of the majority shareholder in enjoying and retaining the private benefits of control. Empirical evidence also supports the lack of alignment between the director and the owner. We can draw the conclusion that business reality is a complex reality in which conflicts of interest arise. These conflicts of interest bring financing difficulties when trying to attract new capital contributions from new partners and thus cause capital constraints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. Describe the quality of life of health personnel, the work environment, and interactions between employees and their work environment during the pandemic. Methods. A scoping review was conducted. The electronic databases PubMed, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Literature Complete, and Google Scholar were used, as well as the repositories of the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Primary, secondary, and grey literature studies published between December 2019 and March 2021 in Spanish, English, and Portuguese were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Authority, Accuracy, Coverage, Objectivity, Date and Importance (AACODS) checklist; a tool for the measurement of multiple systematic reviews (AMSTAR); and the Critical Appraisal Checklist for Text and Opinion Papers. A thematic analysis was carried out based on the quality-of-life and well-being model. Results. Of a total of 208 articles, 11 were included. The quality of life of health personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic was affected by the characteristics of health personnel, the work environment, and interactions between employees and their work environment. Problems related to psychosocial and occupational factors were observed. Discussion. The quality of life of health personnel was characterized by stigmatization, stress, anxiety, and fatigue. Organizational management and the implementation of psychological interventions appear to affect interactions between employees and their work environment, and improve their quality of life.

Objective. The objective of this study was to investigate the funding received by papers of excellence on smoking at the global level between 2010 and 2014 through the Web of Science, and to find out if funding is associated with greater impact. Method. We searched the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) through the Web of Science platform on 20 May 2015 (typology consisting of originals and reviews for the period from 2010 to 2014). The search strategy was “smok*” OR “tobac*.” To select the papers of excellence, we picked those that had an h index (i.e., number of articles having at least that many citations) from among the papers in the overall sample generated by the strategy. Results. Of the 193 papers of excellence on smoking that were identified, 158 had received funding from 279 different financing institutions that intervened 522 times. The funding came primarily from government agencies, private foundations, and the pharmaceutical industry. Public funding declined and private funding increased over the years included in the analysis. Receipt of funding was not associated with greater impact at a later date. Conclusions. Most of the papers of excellence on smoking received external funding primarily from government agencies, private foundations, and the pharmaceutical industry. Public funding has decreased, while private funding has increased. Receipt of funding was not associated with greater impact at a later date. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The participation of librarians in the process of updating their libraries and in the design of their new services is not only essential, it guarantees success. Co-operation with companies in the field helps towards the achievement of the objectives planned and towards better communication with users. This co-operation enables the integration of the users' opinion in the decision-making process and contributes to the improvement of their perception of the services they are offered. Some examples illustrating this collaboration are included in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to study the res judicata effect of sentences handed down against legal persons on subsequent criminal proceedings against members of the organisation. Despite the legislator's preference for the joint prosecution of natural and legal persons, it is possible that the natural persons whose criminal actions determine the liability of the entities may be identified after the proceedings against them. Will the judgement declaring the criminal acts proven in the proceedings against the legal person be effective in the subsequent proceedings against the natural person? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper provides a critical review of the measures that have recently been adopted in the Spanish legal system with the aim to avoid that the declaration of child victims of sexual violence may result in a short of secondary victimization. In this way, we support the implementation of the pioneering Barnahus model, taking into account that it is an empirically validated and highly effective system that responds to two major challenges of our criminal procedure system: reducing the sources of secondary victimization for the minor victim and offering greater guarantees of obtaining a testimony in safe and calm conditions, while it ensures a fair balance between the rights and interests that converge in the process.

The attribution of the investigation to the Public Prosecutor's Office within the framework of the criminal process is, for many, a desideratum. Currently, however, the Public Prosecutor's Office itself arrogates this same attribution, under the pretext that the investigation carried out by it or under its direction is extra processum. In this regard, the Circular 2/2022 stresses that, in addition to the classic pre-procedural investigation proceedings regulated in the Organic Statute of Public Prosecutor's Office and in the Criminal Procedure Act, prosecutors can initiate what it calls «auxiliary investigation proceedings» and «post-procedural investigation proceedings». The aim of this paper is to analyze the regime designed for these newly baptized categories of proceedings and to highlight the risks involved in their use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Solar energy is a type of renewable energy that, due to its nature, it is intrinsically influenced by the variability of meteorological and geographical conditions of the site. To tackle variability, storage technologies such as batteries can be used, they enable the integration of renewable energy into the electricity network and a full supply of electrical loads at times of low generation. In this paper, a technical and economic analysis of a photovoltaic (PV) system including energy storage is carried out. Therefore, a model of a photovoltaic system with and without energy storage was developed in order to compare the technical and economic metrics for each case in the context of a residential system, while following a flat tariff. Based on the analysis, the results indicate that from the economic point of view, it is more profitable to install systems operating only with PV modules. On the other hand, the PV with storage systems allow a better use of the photovoltaic energy as can be seen from the metrics of self-consumption and autarky. Thus, this article contributes to the analysis of photovoltaic systems with energy storage through batteries, a relatively new technology in the country, collaborating with the generation of knowledge of systems that are expected to substantially change the electrical system.

This paper analyzes the sources of business financing, focusing on those that are part of the broad concept of non-bank financial intermediation ("NBFI"), as an alternative to traditional bank financing. The origin and evolution of the NBFI is analyzed, how the organizations that ensure financial stability pointed out the need for regulation and supervision of these new forms of financing, and how the European Union has created a highly harmonized legal framework, particularly in the field of collective investment institutions. The paper deals in particular with debt or direct lending funds, which, being part of the collective investment CIIs, lacked ad hoc regulation in Spain, despite the fact that certain regulated entities, such as closed-end investment entities, could carry out the activity of debt funds. It has been Act 18/2022, of September, on the creation and growth of companies ("Create and Grow Law") that has expressly regulated closed-end collective investment entities for loans, incorporating them into Act 22/2014 by which venture capital entities, other closed-type collective investment entities and the management companies of closed-type collective investment entities are regulated. The purpose of the regulation has been to alleviate the debt situation of some companies and facilitate their growth again, particularly after the economic crisis resulting from the pandemic.

User-centered libraries allow for the development of life skills. The importance of this capacity lies in the fact that one of the main focal points of education in the 21st century is 21st century skills. Organizations such as Unesco, EU, P21, AT, Annex, OECD, Nets, Naep, enGauge, etc. support this perspective and propose lists of skills needed to perform in today's society. However, what is the right place to acquire these skills? Although the first answer would be the school, this paper aims at explaining how libraries are the right places for the development of skills when they are able to deploy their capacity to be informal education centers. Being this a personal report, the paper shows different examples based on my personal experience, both related to the influence libraries had on the author and to the way the author, as a librarian, influences other users.

This paper reviews the configuration of FESABID's Observatory for the Defense of the Profession as well as the challenges faced by the profession that need to be tackled by professional entities. This paper examines the legal state of the professions of our sector and the situation regarding the access to the profession in the public sector. The access is done via a public examination and work contracts for the groups that require a university degree and also for inferior categories that do not require a specific qualification but have the possibility to establish a professional certification. In the private sector, a distinction is made between enterprises specific to the sector, and those of a general nature, and it is recommended to demand to the administration a socially responsible public recruitment. The paper reports on the state of the sectorial agreement recently approved in Gipuzkoa as well as on the situation of the education, the new professional roles and the public examination. Finally, a series of urgent demands are made to the administration and enterprises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is not specifically about collective agreements. It aims at showing how professional associations sometimes have, from an equidistant perspective, the ability to generate synergies and gather the necessary actors to promote positive and necessary changes for our profession and professionals. To this aim, this paper presents a real case study that accounts for the actions implemented by the Asociación Vasca de Profesionales de Archivos, Bibliotecas y Centros de Documentación ('Basque Association of Archives, Libraries and Documentation Centre Professionals') to achieve a labour agreement specific to the information management sector in its territorial scope.

The objective of this paper is to explain how we understand business sustainability, the ethical foundation of sustainability and how all this connects with the financial objective of the firm (maximizing shareholder's wealth). Sustainable companies must be profitable, they must take care of their financial performance; moreover, the only way to meet the long-term financial objective of the firm will be to be sustainable: the result must be positive for the shareholders and for the rest of stakeholders. But for this to work, greenwashing and socialwashing must be avoided; sustainability cannot be cosmetic and therefore must be verifiable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HEARTS in the Americas is the regional adaptation of the World Health Organization's Global Hearts Initiative, which will be the model for risk management for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in primary health care in the Region of the Americas by 2025. It has already been implemented in 21 countries and 1045 primary health care centers throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. It takes a public health and health systems approach to systematically introduce simplified interventions at the primary health care level and focuses on hypertension as a clinical entry point. This paper introduces a new, improved application (app), the main component of which is the calculator for CVD risk and hypertension management. The paper summarizes the risk assessment approach and the methodology used by the World Health Organization to update its cardiovascular risk charts in 2019; describes the app, its use, functionality and validation process; and provides a set of practical recommendations for optimizing CVD risk and hypertension management by using the app in clinical practice. The HEARTS app is a powerful tool to improve the quality of care provided in primary health settings. The creation and dissemination of the HEARTS app is an essential step in the journey towards eliminating preventable CVD in the Americas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the compensation system for pre-trial detention followed by acquittal or dismissal with prejudice after the jurisprudential change established in STC 85/2019, with special emphasis on the parameters that can be compensated via article 294 LOPJ. The main purpose is to determine, through the current judicial and administrative practice analysis, which are the main criteria and methods followed by the Courts in determining the compensation amount. Despite the high degree of discretion and subjectivity in which this research lies, it is intended to help determine the indemnity expectations an individual has after pretrial detention.

The health emergency caused by COVID-19 has led to the legal «resurgence» of the clause rebus sic stantibus as a tool that makes it possible to modify contractual relationships and achieve a balance between the services rendered by the contracting parties, a balance which had come to a sudden end with the onset of the pandemic. The renewed operability of the rebus clause has a direct impact on the judicial system as it has resulted in a proliferation of lawsuits aiming to modify contracted legal obligations. The aim of the present paper is to respond to the practical questions raised in the daily life of our judicial bodies, which have to deal with claims from members of the general public or companies seeking, during an eviction trial, to reduce their economic burden or release them from it by applying the rebus clause. This can raise procedural questions that condition both the judicial response and the procedural processing, and which legal operators have to deal with on a daily basis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HEARTS in the Americas is the Pan American Health Organization flagship program to accelerate the reduction of the cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden by improving hypertension control and CVD secondary prevention in primary health care. A monitoring and evaluation (M&E) platform is needed for program implementation, benchmarking, and informing policy-makers. This paper describes the conceptual bases of the HEARTS M&E platform including software design principles, contextualization of data collection modules, data structure, reporting, and visualization. The District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS2) web-based platform was chosen to implement aggregate data entry of CVD outcome, process, and structural risk factor indicators. In addition, PowerBI was chosen for data visualization and dashboarding for the analysis of performance and trends above the health care facility level. The development of this new information platform was focused on primary health care facility data entry, timely data reporting, visualizations, and ultimately active use of data to drive decision-making for equitable program implementation and improved quality of care. Additionally, lessons learnt and programmatic considerations were assessed through the experience of the M&E software development. Building political will and support is essential to developing and deploying a flexible platform in multiple countries which is contextually specific to the needs of various stakeholders and levels of the health care system. The HEARTS M&E platform supports program implementation and reveals structural and managerial limitations and care gaps. The HEARTS M&E platform will be central to monitoring and driving further population-level improvements in CVD and other noncommunicable disease-related health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper starts from the observation of the symptomatic absence regarding the interpretation of the mytheme of the encounter with the Sphinx, both in Freud's analysis of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and in his theory of the Oedipus complex. A detailed study is made of the allusions to the figure of the Sphinx in Freud's work and in the Sophoclean text, as well as their repercussions in the biography of the founder of psychoanalysis. A critical review is also made of later approaches to the subject, with particular emphasis on the work of Marie Delcourt and Didier Anzieu. Following a review of the concepts of castration and the primary scene in Freud's work, it is proposed to interpret the mytheme in question as a mythological manifestation of the primary scene, promoted to the status of gateway to the Oedipus complex and seen as the castration scene of the phallic mother. As the psychoanalytical reflection is developed, simultaneously the anthropological one is created. Freud's reflections on matriarchy are reviewed and the thesis is formulated that Sophocles' version of the Oedipus myth constitutes a precise manifestation of the patriarchal revolution, which put an end to a previous matriarchal regime in the Mediterranean world.

The new 'Crea y Crece' Law explicitly recognizes European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs) as investment vehicles that can be set up, managed and marketed in Spain. This recognition is essentially a formal update of Spanish law, since this type of funds were already set up, managed and marketed in Spain. However, it comes at an important time for ELTIFs, given the imminent approval of a reform that will make its regulation more flexible and will promote this type of funds. This paper analyzes the current legal regime of ELTIFs, their future reform and the specific tax regime that exists for these funds in Bizkaia and Alava, in the absence of a special regime at national level.

This paper presents the report resulting from the questionnaire launched by the “Grupo de Trabajo de Análisis y Prospectiva de las Bibliotecas en Andalucía” (Workgroup of Analysis and Prospective of the Libraries in Andalusia) of the AAB (Andalusian Librarians Association), in May and June 2021. It shows the situation of the Andalusian libraries during the lockdown and during the current world health alert situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The data analyze the situation from the perspective of the transformation of the services and their innovation: changes in the opening times of libraries, new work modes, among others. The paper analyzes a representative sample of Andalusian libraries and documentation centers extracted from the regional administration official directories. The report ends with some conclusions and thoughts, which hopefully will help to understand and verify the new Andalusian library reality, with the aim that they are taken into account and that they help in the future to make decisions regarding the profession.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on libraries is possibly the most important event in recent years. The aim of this paper is to analyze the thoughts in the professional field of libraries (especially within public libraries) prior to and during the pandemic, and to provide an outline of the responses and the impact on library services. The paper wraps up with an overview of the initial situation and how the public libraries of Galicia reacted. Through these analyses, the goal is to foresee possible ways which could guide the future library services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the state of implementation of Digital Justice at the national level, from the legislative efforts embodied in Law 18/2011, which regulates the use of ICTs in the Justice Administration, up to the current draft of the Digital Efficiency Law. . The future law will mean not only the definitive establishment of the digital judicial process but also the application of automated judicial action. If this happens, from dogmatics it will be necessary to take into account a new procedural scenario and approach a new approach to certain procedural categories, conceptualize new ones, in addition to carrying out a review of procedural guarantees, for their strengthening.

This paper addresses, in an introduction and three correlated parts, the intertheoretical links between discourse ethics (Diskursethik) in its pragmatictranscendental version and Vicent Martínez Guzmán's philosophy of making peace. The first part highlights the influence of the German professor Karl-Otto Apel on the work of Martínez Guzmán and elucidates some issues that bear witness to it; the second part consists of a brief discussion about the transkantian relations that go from Apel to Martínez and vice versa, placing the issue of transcendental solipsism at the center; In a final part, the issue of intersubjectivity is addressed, as the necessary consequence of having subsumed the ethics of discourse in a philosophy of peace such as the one proposed by Martínez. At the end, some brief conclusions and a note are offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The social and educational role of public libraries has been strengthened in the last years due to a series of economic, political, social and technological factors, which have entailed a crisis of values in society. However, this role is not new and, for a long time, public libraries all over the world have created programs and designed spaces and activities based on the social and educational needs of their community. The Network of Local Libraries of Salamanca has been a benchmark in this regard and, for more than thirty years, has had among its main aims to become a space for education, entertainment and citizen participation. This paper focuses on one of the key projects that the library has been developing for years: "Buscando aliados" ('Looking for allies'). Its main aim is to become a backbone for the community, thus strengthening its role within it and creating a solid foundation which allows it to resist both internal and external threats. It thus allows the community to survive in a world that is progressively more disinformed due to the abuse and excess of unverified information and the drifting direction of culture and socio-economy.

This paper presents a model for the analysis of the digital challenge of university libraries. This model, which has in its core the generation of value for users, can be structured in five layers crosscut by digital transformation: the service model, the processes, the professionals and the applications, the contents and the buildings and infrastructure. The digitalization forces the alignment in the operation of every action area of libraries, which requires a constant effort in professional training and profile adaption. New opportunities emerge at the same time as new risks arise which need to be faced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we study the heroism of Max Rockatansky in Mad Max: Fury Road, the fourth part of the iconic post-apocalyptic saga. Based on the perspective of Professor Jesús González Requena, this character appears shortly before the eighties, within the displacement of mass cinema to the post-classical story mode. After an intertextual analysis, we find that the post-classical saga, would reflect concerns of its historical context of production, representing, nonetheless a horizon of redemption with the heroic act. Mad Max: Fury Road narrates the restitution of a stripped and denied hero, confronted with an army of religious fundamentalists, a story that claims the return of a mythical heroism from and for a civilization, the West, traumatized after 9/11 and its consequences, stripped of any mythological symbolic system and capable of the worst barbarism, which would find in DAESH the embodiment of its nightmares.

The textual object, Un mundo sin Xóchitl, is articulated around a central axis, the incestuous love between two brothers entering puberty, a theme already announced by the writer in his first novel, El viejo saurio se retira (1969). Our hypothesis of analysis is that the prohibition is to be read as an initiatory experience, so we propose to approach the text from the bias of the hero's journey, understood according to the pattern proposed by Campbell in The Hero with a Thousand Faces (2014), namely the representation of the formula of initiation rites: separation, initiation, return. Based on a traditional literary analysis that we will combine with a sociocritical approach, we will begin by questioning the discourse on the family, focused on the reciprocal role of the father, Don Elías, and the mother, Constanza. The second part of this paper will delve into the various transgressions of her two children, Güencho (Wenceslao) and Xóchitl who, in the name of an absolute love, find through incest a way to 'flee from the father and the Others' and, especially for Xóchitl, a paradigm that makes possible the emergence of consciousness from the diffuse darkness of the collective unconscious.

This paper proposes a reflection on the relationship between threshold and time from the piece I am easy to find (Mike Mills/The National). To do so, it will problematise the commonplace in the readings of Joseph Campbell's forging of the hero, that pretend to make a template destined to maintain an idea of the unwounded and allpowerful hero from the structure of the monomyth. Instead, it will be suggested that precisely what is most proper to the heroic experience --a transcript of the psychoanalytic experience, at least for the Campbell of the 1950s-- is the acceptance of pain and of the fall of those signifiers and identifications, that allow us to accept the absence of definitive symbolic guarantees.

This paper aims at giving an insight of the past forty years since the creation of the Andalusian Association of Librarians (ABB, by its acronym in Spanish). The association emerged as a result of the library movement in the early 1980s in Andalusia. This paper presents only a brief summary, since a detailed description would require too many lines, and also because, specifically for the first twenty years of the AAB, such an account can be found in the book by Antonio Martín Oñate published in 2001 on the occasion of its anniversary.

The injured party for a wrongful act, for which the public administration is liable, can bring, along with other options, an action against, only and exclusively, the insurance company of the public administration, with the action residing in the civil jurisdictional order. This question has been the subject of a lively controversy, which still persists, and which has been echoed by the Supreme Court very recently. Although the considerable number of papers about the subject, there are many questions that are still awaiting a solution. The singularity of the substantive and procedural triangle that exists between the injured party, the insured Administration and the insurance company, means that there are many questions of a theoretical and practical nature that arise. This study intends to answer some of them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
