Visioni dell’America. Viaggio, spazialità e narrazione in De Amicis e Amado
2021
Nella prospettiva della geografia culturale l’odeporica offre l’opportunità di studiare alcune dinamiche di (ri)produzione simbolica relative al modo di concepire e rappresentare concetti chiave quali lo spazio, il paesaggio e le interazioni umane. Questo lavoro, partendo dall’analisi di alcuni brani significativi di due raccolte di scritti, In America (1897) di Edmondo De Amicis e In giro per le Americhe (2001) di Jorge Amado, studia, con un approccio geografico-culturale e semiotico, le modalità di costruzione e descrizione dello spazio fisico e simbolico comprese le «frontiere», nonché le interazioni e la socialità attraverso la testualizzazione di esperienze diverse. La comparazione fra…
Ordenación territorial supramunicipal de tipo bottom-up y top-down en España: el caso valenciano
2023
La principal entidad supramunicipal española actual es la provincia, cuya función primordial es apoyar a los municipios más pequeños que, a menudo, no pueden prestar los servicios que requieren sus habitantes. La escasa eficiencia que ha mostrado, en general, la institución provincial como entidad local, y la necesidad de crear una organización territorial autonómica propia y eficiente, ha llevado a las comunidades autónomas a implementar otro tipo de entes locales supramunicipales, tanto de tipo top-down (comarcas, áreas funcionales, áreas metropolitanas) como, sobre todo, de tipo bottom-up (mancomunidades, consorcios). Estos entes locales intermedios entre municipio y provincia tienen fun…
La hostelería valenciana: un sector en cambio
1988
ESTE ARTICULO INTENTA ANALIZAR LA HOSTELERIA DE LA COMUNIDAD VALENCIANA, SECTOR TURISTICO TRADICIONAL QUE SUFRE HOY LA DURA COMPETENCIA DE OTRAS FORMAS DE ALOJAMIENTO. ADEMAS, SU ESTRUCTURA POPULAR Y MINIFUNDISTA Y LA FUERTE ESTACIONALIDAD DE SU DEMANDA SON PROBLEMAS AÑADIDOS QUE NECESITAN UNA URGENTE SOLUCION PARA SALIR DE LA CRISIS ACTUAL. (A)
Development of environmental health competencies through compulsory education. A polyhedral approach based on the SDGs
2020
This paper focuses on the competencies in environmental health acquired by students during compulsory education. Questionnaires addressing environmental health problems were completed by 923 students of primary and secondary schools from five different Spanish regions. The results for five challenging situations related to hunger, consumerism, climate change, pollution in the cities and allergies are analysed according to the internal coherence of each sub-competency, i.e., addressing knowledge, skills and attitudes towards these topics. Our results show that problems related to air and water pollution were the most commonly described by the students. Focusing on competency achievement, the…
Hydropower: renewable and contributing to sustainable development? A critical analysis from the Mazar-Dudas project (Ecuador)
2022
The energy transition has provided a framework for designing and implementing renewable energy policies in a growing number of countries in recent years. The discourse from both international energy organisations and national governments around these renewable energy policies highlights its -supposed- sustainable nature. However, much evidence shows that the 'renewable' component of these energy policies and the impact on local communities' sustainable development are much smaller than what is claimed in their discourse. This paper analyses the Mazar-Dudas hydropower project (Ecuador) case study, which is officially classified as a small renewable energy project (21 MW) with presumable low …
Public Policies to Promote Sustainable Transports : Lessons from Valencia
2021
Bicycling appears in the literature on urban mobility as a more sustainable transportation mode for future transportation, based on empirical evidence of the potential benefits of bicycling on the environment, society, and health. In this context, public interventions to promote and maintain bicycling as a sustainable practice and its positive effects are salient. This article reviews different cycling policies with respect to cycling facilities present in the literature and compares them with a case study in Valencia (Spain). We collected information on the public policies implemented in Valencia and the traffic intensity in bike lanes over detecting loops distributed around the city. The …
Sustainable development of apple snack formulated with blueberry juice and trehalose
2021
Novel products that carry concrete and relevant health benefits, with texture and flavor not substantially different from already available products, are generally well accepted by consumers. Vacuum impregnation is a non-thermal technology that allows the enrichment of fruit with different ingredients in solution. The characteristic of the resulting product is a combination of both the solid matrix and the impregnation solution. This work aimed at: (i) evaluating the effect of trehalose on anthocyanin retention after drying of apple snacks vacuum impregnated with blueberry juice
Modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para predecir el bienestar y la dependencia funcional en adultos mayores de la República Dominica
2009
Objetivo. Generar un modelo estructural multifactorial que explique la dependencia funcional y el bienestar a partir de algunas características sociodemográficas asociadas con esos dominios, en adultos mayores de la República Dominicana. Métodos. Estudio transversal mediante encuesta en una muestra de 1397 personas de 65 años o más representativa de la población de adultos mayores de la República Dominicana. Se recabó información sociodemográfica de los entrevistados (sexo, edad, nivel de estudios, si realizaba alguna actividad remunerada y nivel de ingresos) y los datos necesarios para calcular el índice de Barthel y las respuestas a las preguntas de las escalas del bienestar psicológico d…

The metabolic versatility of PAOs as an opportunity to obtain a highly P-enriched stream for further P-recovery
2015
The effects of two sequencing batch reactor operation strategies for phosphorus stream enrichment over the biological phosphorus removal performance have been studied. The objective of both strategies is of performing an extraction cycle in order to obtain a new stream highly enriched with phosphorus. In the 1st strategy the amount of influent volatile fatty acids (VFAs) is the same in each cycle; while in the 2nd strategy the influent VFAs concentration is increased during phosphorus extraction experiments. Despite the strong decrease of the stored poly-P inside the cells in both strategies after the recovery cycles, the ability of the systems to remove phosphorus was not affected. The P-r…
