Equity in local health: participatory tool to assess physical and socioeconomic settings in Spain

2020

Abstract To address local health with a focus on equity and social determinants in a participative way, an intersectoral health analysis must be within reach, with the participation of citizens in every step of the process, as well as the support and commitment of policy-makers. Tools that allow collective evaluation of the people's places and organized data collection are also required. In June of 2019, the translation and transcultural adaptation of the Place Standard Tool, as well as its validation in two municipalities was launched to have available a Spanish tool to evaluate places focusing on equity and social determinants, including equity in all the phases of the assessment process …

María Consuelo Reyna Periodista y empresaria en la Transición valenciana

2016

El pasado 31 de enero Las Provincias, el diario decano de Valencia, celebró su 150 aniversario. Los actos conmemorativos contaron con la asistencia del rey Felipe VI inaugurando la muestra ‘La huella de 150 valencianos en el 150 aniversario de Las Provincias’ y, sin embargo, faltó un personaje que ha dejado huella en su pasado de casi tres décadas, María Consuelo Reyna. Reyna, descendiente del fundador de Las Provincias y una de las primeras mujeres al frente de un medio, ha sido voz y testigo de la Transición desde la redacción. Destituida en 1999 por el Consejo integrado por las familias Reyna y Zarranz, la empresa pasa entonces a Vocento, y finaliza un largo ciclo, determinante en la rec…

Planning Research ‘with’ Minorities in Palermo: Negotiating Ethics and Commitments in a Participatory Process

2008

The paper will explore some ethical issues which arise when undertaking research with minorities (ethnic groups, children, poor people) in the context of an uncollaborative planning process, like the Palermo Local Agenda 21. There are important ethical issues that have to be carefully considered when undertaking research with people, particularly when these people are marginalised or excluded by wider society. Here, issues of powerlessness and vulnerability abound. If this is accepted, some questions arise. How are we supposed to consider planning researchers – understood as immersed in the policy process – as moral/political agents, given their political commitments? Here there are both ge…

Transparency of peer review: a semi-structured interview study with chief editors from social sciences and humanities

2021

Background Open peer review practices are increasing in medicine and life sciences, but in social sciences and humanities (SSH) they are still rare. We aimed to map out how editors of respected SSH journals perceive open peer review, how they balance policy, ethics, and pragmatism in the review processes they oversee, and how they view their own power in the process. Methods We conducted 12 pre-registered semi-structured interviews with editors of respected SSH journals. Interviews consisted of 21 questions and lasted an average of 67 min. Interviews were transcribed, descriptively coded, and organized into code families. Results SSH editors saw anonymized peer review benefits to outweigh t…

EUROMEDITERRANEAN BIOMEDICAL JOURNAL: THE RENEWED MANUSCRIPT LAYOUT AND WEB RENDERING FORESHADOW FURTHER JOURNAL IMPROVEMENT

2017

In January 2006, a new journal, Capsula Eburnea, was born into the Italian scientific publishing scene with the initial goal of creating, at the same time, “an open scientific forum and a blog”, based on the premise that “in medicine, nothing should be considered stable, immutable or unsusceptible to critical review at any time, by any scientist”. The Editorial Team progressively sought to improve the quality of the manuscripts published, introducing the requirement for all articles to be written in English, and changed the Journal’s name to EuroMediterranean Biomedical Journal in 2012. Over the last five years, approximately 125 articles by young doctors (including original articles, revie…

Euromediterranean biomedical journal: A new policy about self-referencing

2020

The median self-citation rate of a researcher normally ranged between 10% and 25%. Recent works demonstrated that, among a list of around 100,000 researchers worldwide, hundreds of authors have collected more than a half of their work citations from themselves or their co-authors. During last years, EuroMediterranean Biomedical Journal progressively sought to improve the quality of the manuscripts published, introducing the requirement for all articles to be written in English and, before acceptance, to undergone to a native English speaker proof-reading process from 2012. Moreover, a new publishing layout and a renewed web-portal of the journal were introduced in 2017, representing a furth…

Le personnage houellebecquien dans le monde décadent

2022

Michel Houellebecq in his novels Platform (2001), Map and territory (2010) and Submission (2015) shows the struggles of a man trying to find his place in the modern world. Author’s alter egos – writer, painter, clerk of the Ministry of Culture, researcher in literary studies, witness a deep crisis that heralds the end of Europe. Unbridled consumption, clumsy journalists, crisis of democracy and Church’s institution are leading to the collapse of the old world. The prospect of being absorbed by Muslims, led by an extremely skilled politician, confirms Houellebecq’s talent, arousing anxiety and opposition.

Debating Europe: Effects of the “Eurovision Debate” on EU Attitudes of Young German Voters and the Moderating Role Played by Political Involvement

2016

In the run-up to the elections to the European Parliament in 2014, EU citizens had the unprecedented opportunity to watch televised debates between the candidates running for president of the European Commission. The most important debate was the so-called "Eurovision debate", which was broadcasted in almost all EU member states. In this study we explore the responses of a sample of 110 young German voters, who watched this debate, to the candidates' messages and whether exposure to the debate caused a shift in the respondents' attitudes towards the EU. Combining data from a quasi-experiment, real-time response data, and data from a content analysis of the debate, we find that respondents' …
