Tortura y malos tratos en la España democrática

2020

La tortura en la España contemporánea y democrática es una realidad preocupante, como lo muestran Informes de los más relevantes organismos internacionales en la lucha y prevención de la tortura, como el Comité Europeo para la Prevención de la tortura del Consejo de Europa, ONG, sentencias internas del Estado español y, gravemente, sentencias del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. Estas condenas a España del TEDH se producen por la violación del artículo 3 del Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos, por no realizar de manera exhaustiva y adecuada las investigaciones ante denuncias por malos tratos y torturas, y la última condena también por tratos inhumanos.

2017

Abstract Background The present study aims to increase bicycling and level of physical activity (PA), and thereby promote health in parents of toddlers, by giving access to different bicycle types. There is a need for greater understanding of e-bikes and their role in the transportation network, and further effects on PA levels and health. Moreover, longtail bikes could meet certain practical needs not fulfilled by e-bikes or traditional bikes, hence increased knowledge regarding their feasibility should be obtained. No previous studies have investigated whether providing an e-bike or a longtail bike over an extended period in a sample of parents of toddlers influence objectively assessed a…

‘Back to the Future’—Oak wood-pasture for wildfire prevention in the Mediterranean

2021

In the summer of 2021, enormous wildfires in the Mediterranean eliminated huge areas of mainly coniferous forest, destroyed adjacent settlements and claimed the lives of many people. The fires indicate effects of climate change and expose consequences of rural demographic changes, deficits in regional and touristic development planning and shortcomings in forest policy. This forum article highlights the dimensions of the problem, calls for a paradigm shift and shows solutions. Land abandonment, woody plant encroachment and non-reflective afforestation are leading to increasing amounts of combustible biomass. To prevent disastrous fires in future, fundamental changes in tree species composit…
