Political Parties Transition into the Digital Era
This chapter outlines the main dimensions of analysis for assessing how mainstream and new parties are building their digital platforms and transitioning from traditional (offline) organisations into the digital world. So far, most of the academic attention has been focused on the impact of the use of digital technologies on party competition and campaigning, while the intra-organisational dimensions have been significantly under-researched. However, several parties in Europe and around the world, both traditional and digital native, have increasingly used digital technologies such as online platforms for internal decision-making, funding, communication and membership mobilisation. We provi…

Biology curriculum in twentieth-century Spain
One hundred years of history of Spanish biology curricula are reviewed in this article. The aim of this analysis is focused on the relationship between socially con- troversial biological issues and the decisionmaking procedures in the construction of the national curricula published under the different regimes that have governed Spain over the last 100 years. The study covers the secondary level of schooling (age 10 up to university), and is based mainly on the data afforded by the official publications of the nine national curricula in twentieth-century Spain, and some of the main textbooks used for this schooling level. Special attention is given to the teaching of evolution, the most se…
Historia del concepto de especie en biología

Cubre la evolución del concepto de especie en los últimos 2300 años, y sus muchos altibajos de la biología ya desde Aristóteles. Se discute el papel que el concepto moderno de especies biológicas juega en la biología evolutiva, y enfatiza su importancia en la enseñanza de la biología. ESP
Restructuring of the electoral competition in the Autonomous Community of Valencia (2011-2019)
Electoral competition in the Valencian Autonomous Community has long been articulated through the left-right and national identity divides. Although voter identities have generally remained stable over time, some shifts between 2011 and 2019 indeed seemed to be connected to the breakthrough of new political parties. The aim of this article was to show the electoral spaces occupied by new and mainstream political parties in the Valencian region through the last three regional electoral cycles. This, in turn, allowed us to trace the evolution of the main political areas dominated by each party, as well as to highlight spaces in which the electoral competition was more demanding. This Valencia…
La reestructuració de la competició electoral a la Comunitat Valenciana (2011-2019)
La competició electoral a la Comunitat Valenciana generalment s’ha articulat amb base en els eixos esquerra-dreta i la identitat nacional (p. ex. Martín Cubas, 2007). Encara que la identitat dels electors ha romàs generalment estable, sí que s’han produït alguns canvis entre 2011 i 2019 que, possiblement, han facilitat l’emergència de partits polítics nous. El propòsit principal del text és mostrar en quina mesura s’han produït canvis en els espais electorals ocupats pels partits nous i vells de la Comunitat Valenciana en els últims cicles electorals autonòmics. Això permet, al seu torn, mostrar l’evolució de les àrees de predomini d’alguns partits, així com aquells espais en els quals la c…
Ho volem tot! La CUP y la articulación del independentismo de izquierda radical en Cataluña
Este articulo analiza la evolucion politica y organizativa de la Candidatura d’Unitat Popular (CUP), un partido independentista de izquierda radical de Cataluna cuyos origenes son proximos a lo que la literatura ha definido como partidos movimiento ( e. g., Kitschelt, 2006 ). Mas alla de su caracterizacion inicial, el principal proposito del articulo es tratar de senalar las razones por las cuales este partido ha sido capaz de adaptarse a importantes cambios en el contexto politico derivados de su entrada en el Parlamento regional (2012-2015) y de situarse como un apoyo clave para la gobernabilidad (2015-2017), sin alterar fundamentalmente su modelo organizativo inicial. La principal e…
Two isorhamnetin triglycosides from Anthyllis sericea
Abstract A fraction of a methanolic extract of aerial parts of Anthyllis sericea yielded vicenin 2 and the two new compounds isorhamnetin 3- O -(2- O -β-glucopyranosyl-6- O -α-rhamnopyranosyl)-β-galactopyranoside and isorhamnetin 3- O -(2- O -β-glucopyranosyl)-βl-galactopyranoside-7- O -β-glucopyranoside.
El trabajo práctico en la enseñanza de las ciencias: una revisión
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Resumen en inglés Se presenta una revisión sobre la efectividad de las prácticas en educación científica en los niveles secundario y terciario. A través de la revisión de más de cien referencias, se concluye que no se han proporcionado argumentos sólidos para justificar la gran cantidad de recursos materiales y humanos necesarios para la implementación de esta herramienta educativa. A pesar de estos resultados decepcionantes, los autores no se niega el papel central de las prácticas en la educación científica y se justifican estos resultados negativos al invocar la gran complejidad del tema, la ambigüedad que rodea el término «prácticas», y una metodol…
The PSOE's deliberation and democratic innovations in turbulent times for the social democracy
In the midst of the great recession, the Spanish Socialists Worker's Party (PSOE) lost the Government and experienced a process of instability while trying to reconnect with its electorate. The party's strategic response was embracing highly inclusive deliberations on both key institutional and policy issues that eventually sparked tensions and division. These internal debates led to the introduction and implementation of other democratic innovations, such as direct votes and consultations that substantially transformed key features of the PSOE's organizational model. The article discusses the main features and problems of such deliberations and democratic innovations, and their wider conse…
Phenolic and acetylenic metabolites from Artemisia assoana
Abstract Nine flavones, three coumarins, two flavone glycosides, p-hydroxyacetophenone and methyl caffeate have been isolated from the aerial parts of Artemisia assoana. Six diacetylenic spiroketal enol-ethers, a mixture of n-alkyl p-coumarates and a new phenylpropanoid metabolite, sinapyl alcohol diisovalerate, have been isolated from root extracts of the same plant. 1H and 13C NMR spectra of some of these compounds are given and taxonomic aspects are discussed.
El papel que desempeñan las teorías en la Biología
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Resumen en inglés Se trata de enfatizar la importancia del término interpretación de la teoría y su uso indebido en la educación científica. También se discute la conveniencia de enseñar biología como una ciencia hipotético-deductiva, y el papel que el mapeo conceptual juega en estos elementos. ESP
El “Aprendizaje Basado en Equipos (TBL)” aplicado a la Ciencia Política
[EN] Like other disciplines of social sciences, political science learning has traditionally been based on the individual student work, and the magisterial teaching, farthest from the work most characteristic group of science experimental laboratory whose practices were the groupware a need inculcating in students from an early age the ability to work in groups In this context new teaching and learning techniques emphasize autonomous student learning at individual and group level in parallel, such as the "Group Based Learning" (commonly known as TBL for its acronym in English). This article applies and compares the traditional methodologies of lecture and group-based learning on a sample of…
New parties’ linkages with external groups and civil society in Spain: A preliminary assessment
The aim of this article is to assess the linkages between the Spanish new parties with groups and civil society. After outlining a short framework on the new linkages between parties and external groups in times of social and political unrest and discussing the case selection, it brie y introduces the classic patterns of interaction between Spain's mainstream parties, the PP and the PSOE and the main interest groups since the late 1970s. Then, the paper analyses the emerging links of two new parties, Ciudadanos and Podemos, in order to provide a general assessment of the main di erences between their linkages and the ones of the traditional parties, and to discuss its possible implications …
The Digitalisation of Political Parties in Comparative Perspective
This chapter outlines the main findings of the edited book. Through the study of a wide range of political parties from Europe and beyond, this book has explored the different degrees of digitalisation that political parties present, and, at the same time, discussed the main technological, democratic issues and trade-offs that political parties have faced in their digital transition. The most relevant finding is that all political parties operating in the democracies analysed have digitalised their organisations to some extent. Our main finding across several cases shows that the digitalisation of parties does not entail a homogenous process of convergence towards a new mode of managing par…
