This article proposes a teaching innovation aimed to deepen the education-research-sustainability teaching strategy by integrating the major challenges facing the planet as set out in the United Nations’ SDGs. Thus, the teaching process acquires a professional identity that integrates teaching and research through the interrelation between teaching...

The combination of P-splines and Kaplan–Meier weights provide a flexible approach to nonparametric modelling in the context of censored data. To apply this methodology, it is necessary to choose the smoothing parameter and the number and location of the knots. In this paper, we propose a new criterion for choosing the smoothing parameter adapted to...

This paper aims to assess the vulnerability of coastal areas to sectoral pressures from maritime-related socio-economic activities. To do this, a DEA-based method is proposed to construct a synthetic index of anthropogenic vulnerability with which to rank European Atlantic Area countries and regions down to a regional scale below the national level...

In this paper, we consider the problem of nonparametric curve fitting in the specific context of censored data. We propose an extension of the penalized splines approach using Kaplan–Meier weights to take into account the effect of censorship and generalized cross‐validation techniques to choose the smoothing parameter adapted to the case of censor...

Valuing goods and services from open oceans provides arguments for the ocean’s protection and plays an increasingly important role in debates on the use and management of natural resources. This paper identifies and estimates the monetary value of some of the most important goods and services provided by open oceans. The list of goods and services...

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of conversion from cyclosporine to tacrolimus, we analyzed 55 kidney transplant patients who were converted due to cosmetic reasons in 42 patients, acute rejection in 2 patients, and other causes in 11 patients. At the doses and levels used, the development of diabetes mellitus was minimized. Disappearance of cos...

Background There is an agreement in the fact that cancer incidence in transplant recipients increases at a rate disproportionately greater than in the general population. Several clinical studies have identified cancer risk factors, such as age, male gender, tobacco, UV radiation, viral infections, previous malignancies, intensity and duration of i...

en lugar de estudiar el cumplimiento de cada criterio en cada país individualmente (una tarea compleja dado el alto número de variables a tener en cuenta) nuestra propuesta pasa por analizar la evolución de cada país en el cumplimiento conjunto de los criterios de convergencia y/o estabilidad. Igualmente, una vez se ha alcanzado un acuerdo sobre có...

El presente artículo se propone utilizar la metodología para el análisis cíclico de la economía descrita en Fernández (1991a) en la construcción de un indicador sintético de referencia, así como sendos índices adelantado y retrasado, para la actividad económica de Euskadi. El resultado es un indicador sintético coincidente (ISC) con unas caracterís...

Resumen El presente artículo se propone utilizar la metodología para el análisis cíclico de la economía descrita en Fernández (1991a) en la construcción de un indicador adelantado de la inflación. Se analiza en primer lugar el Crecimiento Anual de la Tendencia (CAT) de una selección de indicadores relacionados con el Indice de Precios al Consumo. D...
