Integrating soil survey, land use management and political ecology: A case study in a border area between Peru and Ecuador
2013
In Latin America countries, competition for access to natural resources among different groups has been a major reason for the outburst of violence over the last decades. One of the main aims of the political ecology concerns the understanding of the environmental conditions that can underlies the social conflict among people. Such understanding needs to be based on a detailed investigation of the natural resources of the landscape, mainly the soils. Few years ago the Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs financed a soil survey with a humanitarian purpose: the development of a peace plan between Peru and Ecuador by improving the socio-economic conditions of the rural populations living in th…

PEDAGOGICAL CONFLICT – THE CONTEMPORARY TECHNOLOGY OF THE COMPETENCY-BASED APPROACH
2019
In the 21st century, the creative role of education in the socio-economic development is increasing. Therefore, education is focused not only on the acquisition of certain amount of knowledge by learners, but also on the development of creative abilities and personal qualities, including the ability and desire to study, the ability and desire to act and the ability and desire to create. These key competencies develop in the process of learning on the basis of the technologies of the competency-based approach. The research problem is the development of positive learning motivation for students as the means of transforming inter-personal conflict into pedagogical conflict, which promotes indi…
La regulación del derecho de alimentos en la Unión Europea
2015
El trabajo aborda una de las cuestiones más relevantes hoy en día en el marco de las relaciones familiares a nivel internacional. En efecto, el constante movimiento transfronterizo de personas implica inevitablemente un aumento de las relaciones familiares mixtas. Ello, a su vez, provoca un incremento de los conflictos de carácter familiar. De hecho, la inmensa mayoría de los casos, las reclamaciones de alimentos a nivel transfronterizo tienen su origen en un procedimiento de divorcio o separación judicial. Si a todo ello le unimos el nuevo marco económico surgido de la crisis económica global que estamos atravesando llegamos a la conclusión que el número de reclamaciones alimenticias a niv…
El camino hacia el reconocimiento legal de la violencia sexual contra la mujer en tiempos de guerra
2020
El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar el proceso de configuración de un Derecho Internacional que atienda al fenómeno de la violencia sexual contra las mujeres en contextos de conflictos armados, analizando el alcance del cambio de paradigma logrado en los años noventa con la tipificación y enjuiciamiento de la violencia sexual contra las mujeres en conflictos armados en el ámbito de la justicia penal internacional y, en última instancia, identificando posibles elementos sobre los que seguir avanzando hacia un Derecho Internacional que reconozca un estatus jurídico de las mujeres y huya de la imagen única de la mujer como víctima. © 2020 University of Valencia, Human Rights Institute.

The Rhetoric of Healthcare Inequality in Capitalist Classed Societies: Blomkamp’s and Romanek’s Dystopian Visions
2018
The future of democratic societies has been widely debated among futurologists, including the possible ways medicine could advance, changing the lives of individuals and communities. Yet, what seems a reasonable question to ask is – how the unequal access to healthcare might perpetuate social and economic divisions and turn democracy into tyranny. This paper advances a rhetorical analysis of the reciprocal relations between healthcare and the classed capitalist system as portrayed in two dystopian pictures: Mark Romanek’s Never Let Me Go (2010) and Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium (2013). The realities depicted in these movies, as well as their narratives, vary considerably; however, they both pres…
Dislocated Temporalities : Immigration, Identity, and Sexuality in Najat El Hachmi?s «L?últim patriarca»
2018
Recent Catalan criticism has focused on place and space, as well as immigration, but has overlooked temporality. Yet migrations are not only a matter of space (of demographic movements and geographical relocations), but also of time: immigration questions the idea of origins and the possibility of a shared future, and problematizes the rhythms of everyday life. Temporality, in fact, is a key axis in the formation of identities and in cultural conflicts, not just regarding the uses of the past and the projection of societies towards the future, but also in relation to the normative uses of the body. The coexistence of asynchronous temporalities provoked by immigration is a factor in both cul…
Parental experience of a risky environment leads to improved offspring growth rate.
2014
Abstract Parasites (or diseases) are major selective force for the evolution of life history traits and parasite-host evolution. Mothers can show a variety of responses to parasites during pregnancy with different consequences for them or their offspring. However, whether information in the maternal environment before pregnancy can cause a change in the phenotype of the offspring is unknown. To avoid the confounding effect of pathogens and to reduce the risk of direct effect of mother's immune activation, we injected female laboratory mice with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) before mating. In order to provide a constant information on the potential infectious risk of the environment, females wer…
The Novel as Third Space in the Struggle for One’s Own Place: Witold Gombrowicz’s Hidden Polemic with German Literature in „Pornografia”
2020
This paper deals with Gombrowicz’s novel „Pornografia” which can be interpreted as a third space where different literary discourses and philosophical concepts are interwoven. In this respect two German authors deserve special attention: Thomas Mann and Friedrich Nietzsche. It is the aim of this article to show to what extent Gombrowicz refers to the writings of these two authors in his attempt to establish himself as an important writer during his exile in Argentina. The novel „Pornografia” works in this respect as a sphere of interferences and a space of emerging hybridity, where Gombrowicz creates a special textuality consisting of hidden references to and even polemic with both Mann and…
