Domestic Homicide and Emotions from the Late Nineteenth Century to the 1920s
2020
Some scholars have suggested that a significant change in homicides and interpersonal violence occurred in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This new type of violence was characterised by strong feelings between the offender and their victim, and the change was connected to modernisation, changes in power balance between men and women, and individualism. Based on the Court of Appeal documents, we deduced that the murder of one’s spouse, father, or brother were the most prevalent homicides within families in Finland at the time. The Court documents, in conjunction with newspaper accounts, captured the trend of troubled family relationships and demonstrated that lethal family…
Los maestros del colegio del arte mayor de la seda de Valencia en una fase de crecimiento manufacturero (1686-1755)
2014
El presente trabajo se basa en el estudio de los 2.077 nuevos maestros que ingresaron en el colegio del arte mayor de la seda de Valencia entre 1686 y 1755, y revela la complejidad de la evolución que experimentó la corporación. El repliegue en favor del propio colectivo artesanal que se produjo en el reclutamiento de sus miembros como respuesta a las dificultades del siglo XVII no tuvo un carácter definitivo, ya que el crecimiento manufacturero de finales de la centuria favoreció el ingreso de candidatos de una procedencia más diversa. Fue el incremento de la presión fiscal y la influencia de la política mercantilista que impulsó la monarquía tras la finalización de la guerra de Sucesión l…
Twenty-five years of analysis of the spanish populations sportive behaviour (1980-2005)
2006
The study of the Spanish population sport behaviour from the beginning of the democratic transition until de middle of the first decade of the XXI century, relies on a strong theoretical and empirical basis, six national social surveys that cover the 2005-1990 period. All the six sport social surveys have the same sponsorship, the Sport Council (CSD), the same Institute of Social Research (CIS), and the same author, the one that has prepared the present article. The longitudinal analysis of the main results allows to frame, both theoretically and empirically, the advance of the posmodernization processes in the Spanish sport social system as well as in the sport behaviour of the Spanish pop…
Veinticinco años de análisis del comportamiento deportivo de la población española (1980-2005)
2006
El estudio de los hábitos deportivos de la población española desde los inicios de la transición democrática hasta mediados de la primera década del siglo XXI, cuenta con una rigurosa base empírica de resultados, ya que en el periodo 1980-2005 se han llevado a cabo con una periodicidad quinquenal seis encuestas probabilísticas de alcance nacional con una continuidad tanto en su patrocinio, el Consejo Superior de Deportes, como en el instituto de investigación que ha realizado las encuestas, el Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas, y en la dirección de la investigación y análisis y publicación de los resultados. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis resumido y diacrónico de los resultado…
Introduction: 50 years after the General Education Act of 1970
2021
The commemorative opportunity is only a circumstance that prompts to investigate the General Education Act (LGE) of 1970 fifty years after its approval. Another more essential reason invites its study: to investigate with new analyzes and new perspectives on what the LGE meant for the modernization of the country and for the transition between Franco's education and constitutional education. This requires examining the precedents of the 1970 Law and paying attention to the place that the LGE has occupied in educational historiography, in which an evolution towards current historiographic trends is visible. In these highlights the study of international influences in the process of education…

The Indian Scenario
2016
The architecture of the Indian higher-education system is not a simple one, with the legacy of the British Empire, the distinction between deemed and non-deemed universities, aided and non-aided colleges, rural and urban institutions. The youth of the Indian population arguably constitutes the most decisive asset in the knowledge economy. The mass-scale of Indian higher-education as well as the increasingly significant role of the private sector, are posing new challenges to regulatory bodies. The supply of graduates assumes great importance in twenty-first-century India. The enhancement and the modernization of the Indian higher-education system have been redefined as a national priority, …
What future for decommissioned historic irrigation canals? Crafting new identities in the Lower Ter (Spain)
2020
Historic irrigation canals are valuable socioecological systems capable of delivering several ecological and cultural services. However, ecological modernisation initiatives are leaving decommissioned ditches in limbo. A case study strategy is used to analyse the history of a decommissioned 700-year-old canal network in northeastern Spain and the unexpected intervention of several stakeholders who have attempted to redefine the former canals through new uses. The study relies on the analysis of documents and eight semistructured interviews with key stakeholders. We argue that this case reflects a policy failure in the application of multifunctionality, integrative planning and social partic…
Izglītības sistēmu modernizācija efektīvai mācīšanai un vielas apguvei Kamerūnas vispārejā vidējā izglītībā
2022
Vidusskolu modernizācija piedāvā inovatīvus instrumentus mācību un mācīšanās procesu pārstrukturēšanai, sagatavojot skolēnus 21. gadsimta prasmēm. Tomēr nav pietiekamu pētījumu par to, kā izglītības modernizācija iederas dažādās Kamerūnas vidusskolu kultūrās un kā skolotāji un skolu vadītāji vidusskolās ar atšķirīgu pedagoģisko kompetenci un mācību pieredzi spēj darboties dažādās tīkla mācību vidēs. Šajā maģistra darbā aplūkotas skolotāju un administratoru perspektīvas par to, kā modernizēt vidējo izglītību, pamatojoties uz Kamerūnas vidusskolās veikto pētījumu. Pētījums tika veikts, izmantojot jaukto metožu pieeju, sajaucot kvantitatīvos un kvalitatīvos datus, kombinējot atvērtā un slēgtā …
Negotiating the symbolic power of information and communication technologies (ICT): The spread of Internet-supported distance education
2009
Submitted version of an article in the journal: Information Technology for Development The deposited fulltext is a preprint of the definitive article at Wiley Interscience http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/itdj.20110 The Internet may be, as typically suggested, important in distance education for facilitating connections between groups of students, educational institutions, and external learning resources. This article, however, reveals why this is not the only reason for applying information and communication technologies (ICT) in higher education in a remote area in a developing country. In addition, the Internet seems to be of great importance in symbolizing modernization and progress, thereby a…
