A la nación por la clase. La campaña electoral socialista de noviembre de 1933
2017
El artículo analiza la campaña electoral realizada por el Partido Socialista Obrero Español para las elecciones de noviembre del 1933. A partir de la importancia que la nueva historia sociocultural y política atribuye a los discursos en la conformación de las identidades y la acción colectiva, el artículo intenta poner de manifiesto la capital importancia que tuvo el uso de la narrativa nacional por parte del socialismo. Con ello, se trata de llamar la atención sobre una vía central en la (re)construcción y difusión social de la identidad nacional española, como los procesos de politización y el rol que el socialismo pudo jugar a tal efecto. The article deals with electoral campaign carried…
The evolution of the feudal income in the marquisate of Llombai (XVI-XIX centuries)
2006
Este artículo analiza la evolución de la renta feudal de un señorío valenciano particularmente bien documentado, el marquesado de Llombai, posesión de los duques de Gandía, en un período muy extenso que va de 1486 a 1819. Se estudia la renta nominal (tanto bruta como la neta, es decir la cantidad que percibía efectivamente el señor) y la renta real o deflactada, que es la más interesante, ya que tiene en cuenta el efecto de la evolución de los precios. Esta última muestra una tendencia a la baja durante el siglo XVI, lo que indica que no pudo resistir el efecto de la llamada revolución de los precios, una recuperación en el XVII, una vez superado el fuerte bache que supuso la expulsión de l…
Inter-industry job mobility in the knowledge economy in Finland

Design/methodology/approach – Census data representing 7 percent of Finnish residents were used. The micro-econometric estimation method with correction of sample selection bias was applied. Findings – The results show that young workers are the most mobile, whereas mobility decreased for those with previous work experie…

A composite indicator index as a proxy for measuring the quality of water supply as perceived by users for urban water services
2021
Abstract The objective of this study is to develop a composite indicator (CI) to measure the quality of water supply based on the variables that are considered to affect users’ perceptions of water supply quality. The proposed CI includes six relevant aspects that determine users’ perceptions of water supply quality (network quality, water quality, water price, complaints, inconvenience caused by upgrading the network, and continuity of service) in a simple, economical, and objective way, using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) with weights based on data envelopment analysis (DEA). The CI was applied to 32 municipalities in the metropolitan area of Valencia (Spain). The results show t…

Sustainable, circular and innovative value chains using growing substrata alternative to peat for the cultivation of nutraceutical species
2019
The modern agricultural system is wasteful, with Europe generating some 700 million tonnes of agricultural and food waste each year. In the context of the agri-food chain, the ‘circular economy’ aims to reduce waste while also making best use of the ‘wastes’ produced by using economically viable processes and procedures to increase their value. In this paper we will try to frame the key issues associated with food waste into the emerging bioeconomy and circular-economic mode, suggesting that these three concepts are intertwined, and considering them unitarily might provide win-win solutions that minimize wastage, promote income growth and job creation, and prompt sustainable local developme…
