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.

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…
Coauthorship networks and institutional collaboration patterns in reproductive biology.
2007
Objective Reproductive biology is a highly productive area. By analyzing papers published in the major journals in the period 2003–2005, the collaborative patterns were characterized. Design Original research papers published in 2004 in the journals included in the first quartile of the category "Reproductive Biology" of the Journal Citation Reports (2005) were selected. A bibliometric analysis was carried out with the information obtained, thus building up the networks of coauthorship and institutional collaboration. Result(s) A total of 4,702 papers were analyzed, 96.75% signed in collaboration by two or more authors, the authors per paper index being 5.24; 73.73% of the papers were colla…
Decomposition analysis of bioresources: Implementing a competitive and sustainable bioeconomy strategy in the Baltic Sea Region
2021
Bioeconomy development has become one of the new trends in policy design and research. This study looks at biotic resource extraction in the Baltic Sea region countries providing detailed country by country analyses of factors affecting changes in resource extraction. The study is based on the index decomposition analysis including factors related to bioeconomy strategies such as the population, share of people employed in bioeconomy, labour intensity, biotic resource extraction productivity, share of bioeconomy, export intensity, and share of bioresource export. The main factors increasing biotic resource extraction were the growth in labour material intensity, biotic extraction productivi…
How the EU regional policy can shape urban change in Southern Europe: learning from different planning processes in Palermo
2019
The article provides an interpretation of the role played by the EU regional policy in the process of urban change experienced in Palermo, the fifth Italian city by population and capital of one of the largest Europe’s less developed regions (Sicily). Through an analysis of various EU-funded planning initiatives implemented over the last two decades – from the Urban Community Initiative in the late nineties to the current Integrated Territorial Investments under the 2014–2020 urban agenda –, the work explores their effects from three main perspectives: urban regen- eration, local governance, and planning innovation.
Methodology, Sources and New Evidence
2018
This chapter presents the methodology used to construct the new estimates of regional GDP in Spain, breaking down the territory into NUTS3 and NUTS2 regions (provinces and autonomous communities respectively) and dividing sectors homogeneously into five production areas: agriculture, mining, manufacturing and public utilities, construction and services. Taken as a whole in combination with data on regional population, this information provides a picture of regional inequality in per-capita income in Spain over the long term, starting from the early stages of modern economic growth. This new quantitative evidence enables to point out some of the stylized facts observed in the regional distri…
The importance of Hygienics and Clean Water Treatment in Valencia (1860-1910)
2016
El siglo XIX se caracteriza por numerosos cambios tanto a nivel social como estructural de la población: se produce un acelerado desarrollo urbano sin planificación y carente de servicios que da lugar a una mala calidad de vida y numerosas epidemias. Estos cambios tienen como resultado un nuevo movimiento, el Higienismo, que pretende mejorar las condiciones de vida de la población. En España, todas las reformas higiénicas se desarrollaron mediante los planes de Ensanche. Uno de los puntos clave de este pensamiento es el abastecimiento de agua potable como medio para evitar enfermedades. La ciudad de Valencia es un claro ejemplo de la importancia de este movimiento y cómo el abastecimiento d…
