Innovación social y desarrollo territorial. Estudio de casos en áreas rurales de España y Escocia
2022
La innovación social amplía los paradigmas contemporáneos de desarrollo territorial en áreas rurales definiendo las dinámicas de transformación de las relaciones sociales como innovación, en lugar de ser únicamente un medio para introducir innovaciones en las comunidades locales. A través de la reconfiguración de las relaciones sociales, las comunidades rurales conciben nuevas iniciativas que construyen capital social y cultural, lo que les permite adaptarse a los cambios externos y ser más resilientes. Este trabajo está motivado por dos aspectos principales: a) la necesidad de mejorar la categorización de la innovación social desde una perspectiva territorial; y b) la necesidad de consider…
Hunger and sustainability
2019
This paper examines the problem of world hunger and discusses potential solutions to it. It reflects on the debate about whether transgenic foods should be used, which is more of a social controversy than a scientific one. Sustainability is considered a key driver for innovation that can be used as a basis for assessing the problem of hunger in the world, and the question is inseparable from its ethical aspects. Given that economic growth does not directly equate to human development, this paper states that it is necessary to address the problem of poverty and hunger from the capacity development framework according to human rights. Poverty causes disability by limiting human development; i…
Les miraculés a bierność edukacyjna i zawodowa młodych mieszkańców wsi - case study Polska i kraje UE
2018
Poziom wykształcenia jako składnik kompetencji może odgrywać ważną rolę w określaniu szans społecznego i materialnego sukcesu, jak i w podnoszeniu jakości życia jednostek i społeczeństw, tworząc odpowiednie warunki wzrostu gospodarczego. Znajduje to odzwierciedlenie zarówno w dokumentach strategicznych Unii Europejskiej, jak i poszczególnych państw członkowskich, stając się tematem debaty publicznej. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie skali zjawiska bierności zawodowej i edukacyjnej młodzieży w wieku 15-34 lata w Polsce i w UE (młodzież NEET), w szczególności społeczności wiejskiej, w kontekście opinii mieszkańców wsi na temat wpływu wykształcenia na ich sytuację oraz oczekiwań w zakresie w…
The tourist values of "small homeland" in the regional education
2013
The concept of "small homeland" is a complex term, because it consists in something called the "spirit of place” and what is difficult to define, since it touches human consciousness, their feelings and experiences. It is therefore a kind of mystical space, which is the spatial component of world outlook, the concept of morality and location of values, which a human being associates with and accepts in their pragmatic actions. Regional education is a common and natural phenomenon. It results from the need to preserve, consolidate and hand down future generations the heritage of thought, knowledge, skills and achievements not only in the sphere of cultural output and history, but in every as…
Substituent effects of nitro group in cyclic compounds
2020
AbstractNumerous studies on nitro group properties are associated with its high electron-withdrawing ability, by means of both resonance and inductive effect. The substituent effect of the nitro group may be well described using either traditional substituent constants or characteristics based on quantum chemistry, i.e., cSAR, SESE, and pEDA/sEDA models. Interestingly, the cSAR descriptor allows to describe the electron-attracting properties of the nitro group regardless of the position and the type of system. Analysis of classical and reverse substituent effects of the nitro group in various systems indicates strong pi-electron interactions with electron-donating substituents due to the re…
Manoeuvring in Between: Mapping Out the Transnational Identity of Russian-Speaking Latvians in Sweden and Great Britain
2019
AbstractThe proportion of the Russian-speaking population in Latvia increased dramatically during the Soviet period from 12% in 1935 to 42% in 1990 due to organised labour migration within the Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, especially since the end of the 1990s, many Russian-speaking Latvians have migrated to Western countries. Very little is known about the national identities of these Russian-speaking Latvians. By analysing 30 life histories of Russian-speaking migrants from Latvia in Sweden and Great Britain, this study aims to analyse the transnational identities of Russian-speaking Latvians abroad. The analysis shows that the migrants’ own migration patterns in a…
DESARROLLO ECONÓMICO DE UN PUEBLO LACUSTRE: CAPULHUAC, ESTADO DE MÉXICO
2017
Resumen Capulhuac se localiza en la Cuenca del Alto Lerma en el Estado de Mexico, en sus origenes prehispanicos mantuvo un desarrollo sociocultural y economico lacustre. Durante la epoca colonial la poblacion se dedico a la produccion y venta de pulque, a la cria de ganado menor, al comercio de estos productos y de los obtenidos de la cienaga. En la decada de 1940 comenzo la construccion del acueducto que dirige las aguas del Alto Lerma hacia el Distrito Federal, lo que disminuyo la cantidad de recursos lacustres para el sustento y el comercio, esto incremento la explotacion del maguey y la cria de ganado, para la elaboracion de pulque y la manufactura de prendas de lana, respectivamente. L…
Migration Flows in Finland: Regional Differences in Migration Determinants and Migrant Types
2003
The present study analyzes interregional migration flows in Finland during 1985-96 using a large sample from the longitudinal census data file. The regional concentration of population has sped up in recent years, and most migrants now head to five urban growth centers. The empirical analysis reveals that it is particularly the human capital component (young, educated individuals) that moves to, and stays in, the growth centers. They are attracted by the higher expected wages and employment chances. Conversely, some individuals, mainly older and less educated ones, move back to their original home regions. This countermovement reduces the speed of population concentration. Declining region…
Regional Policy Lessons from Finland
2005
The Finnish economy and society has long been dominated by primary production. Post-war economic development was rapid and welfare gaps between the much more developed economies and Finland narrowed and were even partly reversed. Rapid economic expansion together with structural change has had the effect of centralizing both economic activity and population. The trend has been towards the southern and central regions where the metropolitan area of Helsinki and most of the other larger towns and urban centres are located. Together with vigorous technological progress in agriculture and forestry the rapid urbanization and industrialization of the 1960s and 1970s the fastest in Europe altered …
URBANIZATION PROCESSES AND ITS SPECIFICS IN LATGALE
2010
<p>Urbanization is an important demo-geographical process and a complex social phenomenon under impact of which changes are made not only to the global, regional or national settlement systems, but all socio-economic processes are also substantially transformed. Changes caused by urbanization have an impact on traditional way of life, cultural particularity, community and individual psychology and other aspects of spiritual life, therefore expressions and regularities of this process might be of interest not only for demographers, geographers and economists, but also for representatives of the field of humanities.</p><p>Paper presents the progress of urbanization processes…
