Further on the differences between traineeships and internships are detailed according to the Romanian framework and international sources to see exactly what do these mean and which one weights more for a company at the time of interviewing. Taking into the account what has been mentioned a s…

Distritos industriales y renta económica: el efecto distrito – renta

2019

En el presente trabajo se expone una primera aproximación al efecto distrito desde la variable de la renta económica, lo que se ha denominado efecto distrito – renta. Esta aproximación al fenómeno distritural se realiza desde la perspectiva del desarrollo local neomarshalliano para enfatizar la centralidad del distrito industrial como fuente de interpretaciones propias sobre el cambio económico y sujeto activo del mismo. A nivel empírico se realiza una aproximación a la contrastación de la existencia o no de efecto distrito – renta en los distritos industriales españoles para el año 2013; estos datos son analizados a través de la comparativa de la renta total, per cápita y por ocupado expre…

The Village of the Year Competition Constructing an Ideal Model of a Rural Community in Finland

2016

The Village Action Association of Finland (SYTY) organizes the Village of the Year competition annually to award active rural communities. The competition has taken place since 1985, but after the village action movement was integrated into Finnish rural policy networks in the 1990s, it also became a part of rural policy instruments. The competition can be considered a governing technique that constructs norms and an ideal model for rural communities to pursue. In this article, I study the representation of an ideal rural community by analysing the criteria of the competition. I also look for changes to see whether the integration of the village action movement into rural policy is reflecte…

Whose Narrative is it Anyway? Narratives of Social Innovation in Rural Areas – A Comparative Analysis of Community‐Led Initiatives in Scotland and Sp…

2020

Social innovation is a process in which local communities build social and cultural capital to address challenges and social needs. The diffusion of social innovation requires compelling narratives that encourage people to join them. Using qualitative techniques and a multiple case study methodology, this paper examines the content of narratives of social innovation in rural areas and how actors construct, spread and change them. We propose a narrative analytical framework comprising four key components: problematisation; solutions and goals; actors; and plot, which we apply to three initiatives in Scotland and Spain. Our findings suggest that marginalisation, the natural environment and co…

Predicting shifting sustainability trade-offs in marine finfish aquaculture under climate change

2018

Defining sustainability goals is a crucial but difficult task because it often involves the quantification of multiple interrelated and sometimes conflicting components. This complexity may be exacerbated by climate change, which will increase environmental vulnerability in aquaculture and potentially compromise the ability to meet the needs of a growing human population. Here, we developed an approach to inform sustainable aquaculture by quantifying spatio-temporal shifts in critical trade-offs between environmental costs and benefits using the time to reach the commercial size as a possible proxy of economic implications of aquaculture under climate change. Our results indicate that optim…

Contribución al análisis sociológico de la creatividad y la digitalización del campo cultural: creación, intermediación y crisis

2019

The so-called transition to the digital paradigm is eroding the autonomy of the cultural field achieved during the XIX and XX Centuries, subjugating them to economic and technological dynamics. However, the hegemonic discourse tends to interpret this as an overall positive process for the creative domain, focusing on the increase in information resource and creativity tool availability. However, an analysis of the theories and concepts of the sociology of culture reveals a more ambivalent balance. While the notion of authorship and creation can be interpreted from a more cooperative and relativistic view it is arguable whether this concept can be eliminated altogether. Also, although cultur…

Esplorare la povertà urbana in una prospettiva mediterranea: il caso del quartiere CEP a Palermo

2020

The paper addresses the issue of the multiple dimensions of urban poverty through mixed analyses carried out in the CEP neighborhood of Palermo. The article tries to avoid incurring the dichotomy between the Global North and South and adopts a Mediterranean perspective, attempting to describe the neighborhood from below and starting from the voices of its youngest inhabitants. In light of the most recent pandemic events, the issue of urban poverty deserves to be explored with renewed academic debates.

Neandertal spatial patterns and occupation dynamics: a regional focus on the central region in Mediterranean Iberia

2020

En el siguiente trabajo se estudian varios conjuntos pertenecientes al Paleolítico medio procedentes del mediterráneo peninsular ibérico con el objetivo de examinar los patrones de ocupación y las estrategias de gestión del territorio. Se presta especial atención al abastecimiento de las materias primas y los comportamientos tecnológicos, los datos procedentes de la fauna y los análisis microespaciales. La variabilidad en los tipos de ocupación de los distintos conjuntos nos muestra una gran diversidad y una multitud de factores, aunque no parece tener una sola explicación cultural, funcional, temporal o ambiental. Más bien son explicaciones que responden a una amplia variabilidad en los co…

L’Autonomia speciale, la variegata attuazione del regionalismo differenziato e gli spazi per un rilancio

2018

L'articolo esprime la posizione di un’autonomia speciale (anche se le speciali prima del 2001 venivano parimenti definite differenziate), che, nonostante quanto spesso comunemente si affermi, ha visto progressivamente restringersi gli spazi di autonomia, sopratutto in materia finanziaria, sul percorso dell’inveramento delle previsioni dell’art. 116, terzo comma, Cost. e il ruolo delle Regioni speciali ed, in particolare, di quelle insulari del sud nel percorso ormai decisamente avviato dal regionalismo italiano che, abbandonata - almeno temporaneamente - la prospettiva di una revisione del quadro costituzionale di riferimento, si proietta verso un’attuazione piena delle norme vigenti e ciò …
