Aguirre Gamarra, Carlos Antonio
The concept of Socioemotional wealth has emerged as a promising theoretical framework which will help us to explain the particular aspects of family firms and to differentiate family firms from non-family firms (Dehlen, 2013). Similarly, the Socioemotional wealth approach is called to become the potential dominant paradigm in the family business field and the most important differentiator of the family firm as a unique entity (Berrone et al., 2012; Debicki et al., 2016; Hauck et al., 2016)....

We study selected aspects of quantum gravity phenomenology inspired by the gravitational analogy in Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs). We first review the basic ideas and formalism of analogue gravity in BECs, with particular emphasis on the possibility of simulating black holes. We stress that the dispersion relation in a BEC has a relativistic form in the hydrodynamic limit, and acquires non-relativistic, ‘superluminal’ modifications at high frequencies. This makes it a particularly...

The Invariant Subspace Problem is, probably, one of the most important open problems in Operator Theory on Hilbert spaces. One of the most successful approaches that have been considered to obtain results for such a problem consists in studying particular classes of operators and taking advantage of their properties. This strategy has provided results for certain cases, although nowadays there are plenty of apparently simple classes of operators for which the existence of non-trivial closed...

The ongoing debate over a possible extension of the explanatory corpus of evolutionary biology touches many aspects of philosophical interest, among which is the role that chance plays in its models and explanations. In particular, how evolutionary variation relates to chance seems to differ under the classical and the evo-devo perspectives. While some tools of the philosophy of probability and chance have been incorporated into important aspects of evolutionary biology, this discrepancy has...
