Ecoviles a Espanya: buscant una transformació social emancipadora?
2020
Segons dades de la Global Ecovillage Network (2018), l'Estat espanyol és actualment el segon país més important del món, després dels Estats Units, en nombre d'ecoviles, la xifra de les quals no ha cessat de créixer al llarg dels darrers anys. Seguint la teoria d'Erik Olin Wright sobre transformacions socials emancipadores, tractarem la qüestió de si aquest boom representa una mostra d'una transformació social incipient i d'un canvi cultural que està experimentant el medi rural. Aquest treball es divideix en cinc seccions principals. La primera introdueix el problema, per abordar tot plegat la metodologia realitzada per a l'estudi de 29 ecoviles a Espanya utilitzant sis variables sobre inte…
Erosion of universal health coverage in Spain
2013
Whereas the recent UN resolution urges governments to accelerate progress towards universal access to affordable and quality health-care services, the Spanish Government, bypassing the parliamentary procedure, enacted a Royal Decree to limit access to free services at the point of delivery for all-undermining the principle of universal coverage. Spanish health and social service budgets have been subjected to large cuts (13,7% in 2012 and 16,2% in 2013) with some regions imposing additional budget cuts.
Examen crítico de la bibliografía sobre la historia de la traducción en España
2013
This article deals critically and succinctly with the development of the studies on translation history in Spain, starting from counting the bibliographic production (researches, studies, articles, publications, etc.). Given the existing thematic dispersion and the increase that these studies have experienced in the last few decades, this historiographical review highlights the need for a synthesis in future works establishing periods and classification in order to provide a panoramic and practical view to research and theorizing. El artículo aborda de forma crítica y sucinta el recorrido de los estudios sobre historia de la traducción en España, partiendo tanto de los hitos bibliográficos …
The genetic structure of the cosmopolitan three-partner lichenRamalina farinaceaevidences the concerted diversification of symbionts
2012
The epiphytic lichen Ramalina farinacea is distributed throughout the northern hemisphere in which the same two algal Trebouxia species (provisionally named TR1 and TR9) coexist in every thallus. Ramalina farinacea symbionts were characterized based on the two fungal nuclear loci (nrITS and rpb2 ) along with the primary and secondary structures of nrITS from each Trebouxia species in the Iberian Peninsula and Canary Islands. The results indicated a noticeable genetic differentiation between mycobionts from these two geographic areas and also suggested concerted changes in the three partners of a lichen symbiosis toward two clearly distinguishable ‘holobiont’ lineages. Modeling of ITS2 RNA s…
Occurrence of DBPs in Drinking Water of European Regions for Epidemiology Studies
2016
International audience; A three-year study was conducted on the occurrence of disinfection by-products (DBPs) - trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), and haloacetonitriles - in drinking water of regions of Europe where epidemiology studies were being carried out. Thirteen systems in six countries (i.e., Italy, France, Greece, Lithuania, Spain, United Kingdom) were sampled. Typically chlorinated DBPs dominated. However, in most of Catalonia (Spain) and in Heraklion (Greece), brominated DBPs dominated. The degree of bromine incorporation into the DBP classes was in general similar among them. This is important, as brominated DBPs are a greater health concern. In parts of Catalonia,…
Turismo rural en España : un análisis de la evolución en el contexto europeo
2005
Este artículo presenta la evolución del turismo rural en España en relación a Europa. Se repasan las diferentes etapas del turismo rural en España, los elementos que han contribuido a su aparición, las diferentes fórmulas y denominaciones que han adoptado las Comunidades Autónomas y se compara con la dinámica del sector en Europa. Mientras en Europa el turismo rural ha sobrepasado la etapa únicamente del alojamiento en las casas rurales y apuesta por la diversificación de los productos, la calidad y una oferta regularizada, en España el sector está aún muy centrado en el alojamiento. Concluimos que es imprescindible en España unificar las denominaciones y clasificar por niveles el producto …
Análisis del comportamiento de la demanda de turismo rural desde la experiencia de la comarca El Alto Palancia
2004
This study is intended to delve into the tastes and preferences of tourists visiting rural areas in Spain as an alternative to the traditional sun and beach holiday that dominates Spanish tourism. This paper is focused on the demand side of rural tourism; more specifically the extent to which tourists visiting a Spanish rural area. El Alto Palancia region, exhibit different behaviours depending on age, gender, incomes and educational background. The homogeneity of behaviour across several categories of tourists was tested in two sets of variables. First, «interest in certain resources associated with rural tourism», focused on natural and architectural resources that sustains the tourist's …
The role of the economic crisis on the competitiveness of the agri-food sector in the main Mediterranean countries
2014
Th e world economic crisis that, since 2008 has also struck the real economy, cannot be attributed only to the United States bubble which in 2007 involved the mortgage credit market, but it is the result of a series of factors among which the imbalance of the fi nancial market, of the public accounts of the main economies and the real sector. Also agricul- ture, which has always been considered an anti-cyclic sector, has seen a strong slowdown with a plunge in the trade fl ows. Th is paper analyses the changes which happened to the competitive position in the world market of some Mediterranean countries and of France, Italy, Spain and Turkey in particular trying, moreover, to understand the…
Examination of Escherichia coli from poultry for selected adhesin genes important in disease caused by mammalian pathogenic E. coli
2001
A collection of 1601 extraintestinal and intestinal Escherichia coli isolated from chickens, turkeys and ducks, in Belgium, France and Spain, was hybridised with gene probes specific for fimbrial and afimbrial adhesins (F17, F18, SSfa/F1C, Bfp, Afa, Cs31A, IntiminEae, Aida-1) of intestinal, urinary and invasive E. coli of mammals and with a probe specific for the P (Pap/Prs) fimbrial adhesin of urinary and invasive E. coli of mammals and birds. Three hundred and eighty-three strains (23.9%) were P-positive, 76 strains (4.8%) were Afa-positive, 75 strains (4.7%) were F17-positive, 67 strains (4.2%) were S-positive, 23 (1.4%) were Intimin-positive, and all were F18-, Cs31A-, Aida1- and Bfp-ne…
Chumy Chúmez. Una biografía. Autoficción, testimonio y homenajes
2016
En 1973 el dibujante y humorista Chumy Chúmez publicó la novela gráfica, Chumy Chúmez. Una biografía. A partir de la técnica del collage, recupera grabados del siglo XIX y brinda un explícito homenaje a sus grandes ilustradores. La obra, escrita en los años finales del régimen franquista, requiere ser analizada en el contexto político de su producción, pero también en el sistema literario y artístico de los años 70. De ambas coordenadas surge un relato gráfico que mediante la fragmentación, la elipsis y la sugerencia, interna al lector en el clima moral de la dictadura. Al mismo tiempo revela indicios inequívocos de un cambio de ciclo, histórico y estético. In 1973 the cartoonist and humori…
