    Published 2008-01-01
    “…Se considera el comportamiento oportunista de las agencias al vender las pólizas emitidas por la aseguradora que le ofrece la comisión mas alta. Se consideran también diferentes estructuras de mercado: un duopolio de aseguradoras que compiten en comisiones (competencia entre aseguradoras), la colusión entre aseguradoras con las agencias manteniendose independientes (colusión horizontal o monopolio de aseguradoras) y la colusión entre aseguradoras y agencias (integración vertical o agentes exclusivos). …”

    What on Earth! Slated Globes, School Geography and Imperial Pedagogy by Mahshid Mayar

    Published 2020-11-01
    “…Focusing on their production and use in the US context at the turn of the twentieth century, and following an examination of their role in teaching American children the fundaments of terrestrial geography, I probe these now forgotten, blank, black, educational table globes’ capacity in offering a timely “spatial fix” to the prosaic finality of an already overly and overtly known world that the globally rising US Empire was grappling with. …”

    Reziliența rețelei școlare în România – dinamica structurilor spațiale ale școlilor primare rurale by Victoria Buza

    Published 2025-02-01
    “… Recent research into the geography of education frequently addresses the consequences of declining birth rates and demographic ageing in relation to the shrinking rural school network. Although studies often present conflicting views, whether it is pro- or anti-restructuring, the motivations of decision-makers converge around similar dilemmas: a small school is not financially sustainable, although the institution itself in a small village is perceived by the local community as the "heart of the village". …”

    Diagnostic Validity of Clinical Signs Associated with a Large Exophoria at Near by Pilar Cacho-Martínez, Ángel García-Muñoz, María Teresa Ruiz-Cantero

    Published 2013-01-01
    “…ROC analysis showed the best diagnostic accuracy for receded near point of convergence (NPC) recovery (area = 0.929) and binocular accommodative facility (BAF) (area = 0.886). Using the cut-offs obtained with ROC analysis, the best diagnostic validity was obtained for the combination of NPC recovery and BAF (S  =  0.77, Sp = 1, LR+ = value tending to infinity, LR− = 0.23) and the combination of NPC break and recovery with BAF (S  =  0.73, Sp = 1, LR+ = tending to infinity, LR− = 0.27). …”

    System- and sample-agnostic isotropic three-dimensional microscopy by weakly physics-informed, domain-shift-resistant axial deblurring by Jiashu Han, Kunzan Liu, Keith B. Isaacson, Kristina Monakhova, Linda G. Griffith, Sixian You

    Published 2025-01-01
    “…This challenge is particularly pronounced in label-free imaging of thick, heterogeneous tissues, where assumptions about data distribution (e.g. sparsity, label-specific distribution, and lateral-axial similarity) and system priors (e.g. independent and identically distributed noise and linear shift-invariant point-spread functions are often invalid. Here, we introduce SSAI-3D, a weakly physics-informed, domain-shift-resistant framework for robust isotropic three-dimensional imaging. …”
