Are "good guys" more likely to participate in local agriculture?
2015
Abstract In recent years a new form of food production and distribution organisation, as part of small-scale and local agriculture, has been gaining ground. Generically termed short supply chains (SSCs), this new model of food procurement comprises various forms such as community-supported agriculture, box schemes and solidarity purchase groups. Consumer participation in SSCs is dictated by deep motivations: while consumers are principally encouraged by the desire to preserve local producers, as well as the social and environmental aspects of farming, the attraction of SSCs is also tied to different and more complex ways of perceiving food quality. The quality issue in SSCs is not only seen…

2007
Several analysts have pointed out the emergence of a global consciousness that is closely related to the process of globalization of social life. It has been dered that this global consciousness, which is supported on an expansion of the geographical space of responsibility from which citizens feel they are being begged for aid, is encouraged by the rev lution of information and communication technologies (ICT), the contents broadcast by the mass media and the action of international NGOs. From the context of these and starting from the data c ntained in a CIS survey (E-2419), this paper seeks to contrast empirically the hypothesis of the modifying action of the «cultural reference framewor…
Novel spectra in the supercontinuum generation with applications in the biodiversity conservation
2014
This paper presents some spectra of the supercontinuum generation obtained with microstructured fibers and tapered fiber devices excited with quasi-continuous pumps. These spectra are part of a group (collection) of multiple configurations that were studied and evaluated by our working group, and that could be very useful in LIDAR as well as bio-imaging applications. This work is limited to present some spectra that could be useful in applications of biodiversity conservation. The prototypes for specific applications will be evaluated in future research.
Organic consumption and consumer participation in food community networks
2012
Due to improvements in welfare, new food consumption concerns have emerged in Europe. Such concerns go beyond issues related to food safety and market prices. Solidarity Purchasing Groups (GASs) are one way to combine utilitarian and ethical aspects: in these groups the trade in organic products predominates. The aim of GAS groups is to primarily develop a local economy which is both ethical and fair, providing networks of economic solidarity through social relations and economic-territorial districts. This paper sets out to determine the profiles of the consumer groups that constitute GASs in Sicily (southern Italy) in order to search for key elements of the movement in terms of both commu…

La alteridad en el discurso de la ciencia ficción : identidad y desarraigo en Beforeigners (HBO: 2019- )
2021
La representación del miedo hacia el Otro ha sido una de las temáticas más recurrentes en el género de la ciencia ficción. En esta línea, esta investigación articula un análisis de la serie noruega Beforeigners en torno al discurso de la identidad. Desde una perspectiva cualitativa, se ha realizado un análisis textual que ha puesto de manifiesto que en la serie prevalecen los valores comunitarios y solidarios. En la discusión se han contrapuestos los resultados con otras series del género y se ha evidenciado que la serie rompe con las narrativas típicas de la ciencia ficción. Asimismo, se destaca el tono crítico de la serie hacia las políticas de inmigración de la Unión Europea. The portray…

The idea of international solidarity at UNESCO is dwingling
2015
UNESCO’s role to building solidarity, peace and security internationally seems to be threatened and weakened. In 1946, UNESCO made a social contract to use culture, education and science as a tool for buiding international solidarity, peace and security. Its trajectory presents challenges related to vopice, representation, power and hegemony which often result in conflict in most parts of the globe. For instance, the recent acceptance of Palestine to UNESCO has increased tensions amongst states because of Palestine’s positioning in global peace processes. This research surfaces some of these challenges and recomends further research on how to ensure the independents of UNESCO in fulfilling …
