La formación profesional y su incidencia en el desarrollo local.
2015
La Formación Profesional en sus diferentes vertientes (formales, no formales e informales) ha tenido un papel importante en el desarrollo territorial , pero no solo desde los aspectos formativos de capacidades técnicas para la empleabilidad del individuo; como recurso educativo, puede también tener un papel de construcción social ya que puede incidir en la reflexión de modelos de sociedad de consumo, la participación o el medio ambiente. Estos ámbitos también son aspectos fundamentales también en el aparato productivo nacional y local, por lo cual, merecen ser tenidos en cuenta. Los centros de Formación Profesional tienen un potencial que los diferencia de otros actores del escenario local …
Using fractal dimensions for characterizing intra-urban diversity : the example of Brussels
2003
International audience; The objective of this paper is to compare fractal-based parameters calculated by different fractal methods for urban built-up areas and to link the observed spatial variations to variables commonly used in urban geography, urban economics, or land-use planning. Computations are performed on Brussels, Belgium. Two fractal methods (correlation and dilation) are systematically applied for evaluating the fractal dimension of built-up surfaces; correlation is used to evaluate the fractal dimension of the borders (lines). Analyses show that while fractal dimension is ideal for distinguishing the morphology of Brussels, each estimation technique leads to slightly different …
Study on the financial performance of companies operating in the pharmaceutical industry in romania
2016
Abstract The study aims at determining the financial performance of companies in the pharmaceutical industry between 2009 and 2014 by means of the indicator of the financial return rate, using multiple linear regressions as research method. By analysing the evolution of the share of companies in the pharmaceutical industry based on the trend of the financial rate of return, we can estimate that the number of entities that resort to supporting the financial activities from loans and liabilities is growing in the period under analysis. This is due mainly to the liquidity crisis faced by entities, as a result of the high recovery duration of debts. Also, using the multiple linear regression we…

El turismo, ¿fin de època?. Desafíos de España como destino turístico en un nuevo escenario
2022
La pregunta sobre el fin de época del turismo que se plantea en el título no es una alusión a un cambio de ciclo o de fase, ni tampoco al fin del turismo, sino a la emergencia de un nuevo modelo, una transformación de alcance estructural, tanto de sus factores inductores como de sus manifestaciones multidimensionales en un mundo interrelacionado. Los indicios de esta transición empezaron a intensificarse a lo largo de la última década, antes de la aparición de la COVID-19, cuyos efectos se han sumado a otros factores. Ante la diversidad de los procesos específicos de transformación, el contenido de la obra se ha centrado en el análisis y la valoración de cuatro factores clave que, interrela…
Sostenibilidad en las áreas metropolitanas
2022
Las áreas metropolitanas son, por su complejidad, un atractivo objeto de estudio para científicos sociales de todas las especialidades. El presente libro es producto de dicho interés, y en él confluyen diferentes perspectivas y enfoques provenientes de la Geografía, la Sociología, el Trabajo Social y la Ciencia Política. Concretamente, el origen de este conjunto de estudios sobre los aspectos territoriales, sociales y políticos más relevantes de las áreas metropolitanas es el 'I Congreso Internacional sobre Sostenibilidad Metropolitana', celebrado en Valencia en 2013. Las ponencias invitadas a este congreso son las recogidas en este libro. El origen de dicho congreso es anterior, pues parte…
The Context of Rural–Urban Relationships in Finland, France, Hungary, The Netherlands and Spain
2009
This paper presents a comprehensive view of the empirical research findings concerning rurban relationships in different European countries (Finland, France, Hungary, the Netherlands and Spain), through two types of rurban territories: those that are placed close to (or included in) a metropolitan area and those that are close to (and influenced by) an important tourist area or place. Its main aim is to show the diversity of European experiences with regard to urban pressure in this type of areas, highlighting the socio-economic and institutional contexts in explaining similarities and differences between five countries. The results will review the various meanings of ‘rural’ and ‘rurality’…
Territorial Connection and Cohesion - The Case of Agrigento Inland Area
2014
The Europe 2020 strategy and the Horizon 2020 program can begin a real path about the role that the city will be able play for a new development. Usually, it is in the cities that are intensifying tangible and intangible social relations and, given that they focused almost 70% of the world population, it is clear that the city must begin to start any development scenario: the problems / opportunities related to the management of natural resources, energy to move. The culture is a «primary factor of urban creativity (...), the city's identity that has its roots the program schedule of history and extends its branches in the future» [4], awaiting a new model of development local self-sustaina…
Maritime antarctic lakes as sentinels of climate change
2012
Remote lakes, such as lakes from the Maritime Antarctica, can be used as sentinels of climate change, because they are mostly free of direct anthropogenic pressures, and they experience climate change as a main stressor capable of modifying the ecosystem structure and function. In this paper, the content of a lecture that has been presented at the First Conference of Lake Sustainability, which has been centred in our studies on lakes from Byers Peninsula (Maritime Antarctica), are summarized. These included physical, chemical and biological studies of these lakes and other freshwater ecosystems, which highlighted the relevance of biotic interactions for these ecosystems and its sensibility …
Recent Change—Terrestrial Cryosphere
2015
This chapter compiles and assesses information on recent and current change within the terrestrial cryosphere of the Baltic Sea drainage basin. Findings are based on long-term observations. Snow cover extent (SCE), duration and amount have shown a widespread decrease although there is large interannual and regional variation. Few data are available on changes in snow structural properties. There is no evidence for a recent change in the frequency or severity of snow-related extreme events. There has been a decrease in glacier coverage in Sweden and glacier ice thickness in inland Scandinavia. The European permafrost is warming, and there has been a northward retreat of the southern boundary…
