Análisis geodemográfico y planificación territorial en España

2002

This article studies the current role of geodemographic analysis in Spanish spatial planning; its importance, gaps and problems. This is done both from a theoretical and planning perspectives. The theoretical perspective studies the references to the population in the legal norm of the several forms of planning, and in particular in the very recent Autonomous Regions' laws. The planning perspective refers to the specific spatial plans that have been aproved. The article identifies three types of spatial planning: urban planning, town and country planning and environmental planning. Therefore, excluding the sectorial planning with spatial incidence.

Neil MacCormick's Second Thoughts on Legal Reasoning and Legal Theory. A Defence of the Original View

2011

This paper offers a diachronic reconstruction of MacCormick's theory of law and legal argumentation: In particular, two related points will be highlighted in which the difference between the perspective upheld in Legal Reasoning and Legal Theory and the later writings is particularly marked. The first point concerns MacCormick's gradual break with legal positivism, and more specifically the thesis that the implicit pretension to justice of law proves legal positivism false in all its different versions. The second point concerns MacCormick's acceptance of the one-right-answer thesis and the consequent thinning of the differences between MacCormick's theory of legal reasoning and that of Ron…

Letter to the Editor: Comment on “The Application of Artificial Intelligence for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Liver Diseases”

2021

among the forthcoming articles to be published in Hepatology, I noticed the extensive review by Ahn, Connell, Simonetto, Hughes & Shah concerning "The application of artificial intelligence for the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases" [1]. As a bioethicist, I need to raise some concern about the perspective given by this review, which disregards some important issues concerning ethical aspects and patient-physician relationship.

Between constitution and interpretation: Identity as history

2015

The paper focuses on the possibilities to constitute meaning in the „borderline- situations“ (Jaspers) of the social sphere, such as the loss of validity of orientation within and experience of reality in the socially shared structures of the lifeworld. On the one hand, I will refer to A. Schutz’ and his constitution-analysis of foreign understanding and of shared meaning; on the other hand, I bear onto I. Kertesz literary project to narrate the biography of an Auschwitz-survivor as close to his experiential perspective as possible. I will focus both on the concept of constitution and of interpretation with respect to their enabling of the transcending of a typologized everyday’s world whic…

Spatial and temporal systems in child language and thought: a cross-linguistic study

1999

This research was designed to evaluate the interaction of conceptual and linguistic factors during the acquisition of the spatial and temporal systems of Polish, English and Finnish from 3 to 6 years of age. In the conceptual-spatial task, children reconstructed a layout from a 180-degree change in perspective, and in the conceptual-temporal task they arranged three picture cards in a sequence while telling a story. In the linguistic domain, there were two comprehension tests and one production test containing spatial and temporal contrasts requiring either a single or multiple referent object(s)/event(s). The main effects (i.e., age, dimension, complexity) were always significant. There w…

Las funciones interactivas del marcador español ‘¿no?’ Las fronteras entre la atenuación y la protección de la imagen

2020

In this paper the functions of the Spanish discourse marker ?no? are analysed from a pragmatic and an interactive perspective. Specifically, we explore the values of ?no? taking the pragmatic phenomena of mitigation and boosting, as well as the notion of affiliation as described in conversation analysis. The previous literature devoted to the study of this linguistic form has consistently identified its uses as a confirmation request or a phatic device (Fuentes, 1990, 2009; Santos Rio, 2003; Garcia Vizcaino, 2005; Montanez, 2008, 2015; Rodriguez Munoz, 2009; Moccero, 2010; Santana, 2017). This work, however, analyses how the mitigating uses interact and share features with neighbouring cate…
