The obstacles to the development of secondary education in Spain, 1857-1900
2023
Human capital is one of the pillars of economic growth and development. However, the economic analysis of human capital presents a large number of difficulties, especially since the mechanisms that allow the accumulation of this type of capital, skills and knowledge, are intrinsic to human nature and, in general, are difficult to determine. But, in addition, the formation of human capital results from formal and informal learning and occurs throughout life, so its measurement is a challenge. Trying to overcome the drawbacks that the analysis of human capital poses, some researchers have proposed the differentiation of human capital into types or levels in order to see its differential effec…

Occurrence of priority pollutants in WWTP effluents and Mediterranean coastal waters of Spain
2011
A comprehensive study aimed at evaluating the occurrence, significance of concentrations and spatial distribution of priority pollutants (PPs) along the Comunidad Valenciana coastal waters (Spain) was carried out in order to fulfil the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). Additionally, PP concentrations were also analysed in the effluent of 28 WWTPs distributed along the studied area. In coastal waters 36 organic pollutants of the 71 analysed, including 26 PPs were detected although many of them with low frequency of occurrence. Only 13 compounds, which belong to four different classes (VOCs, organochlorinated pesticides, phthalates and tributyltin compounds (TBT)) showed a frequency o…
Satisfaction with the clinical practice among nursing students using regression models and qualitative comparative analysis
2020
Abstract Background Clinical practice is considered fundamental in nursing studies for the effective education of nurses and students' satisfaction. Both the clinical environment and the clinical educator are key factors in students´ satisfaction. Objectives To analyze the influence of the socio-demographic variables of clinical educators and nursing students on satisfaction with the clinical practice. Design This was an observational, cross-sectional study. Settings A clinical practice course at a private university in Valencia, Spain. Participants The study included 527 nursing students enrolled on the clinical practice, supervised by 187 clinical educators. Methods Two statistical method…
Triumphus musicae. Contributions musicales et spectacles éphémères en l’honneur de Charles III à Palerme (1735)
2017
L'articolo esamina le notizie musicali connesse ai festeggiamenti per l'incoronazione a Palermo nel 1735 di Carlo III di Borbone. In particolare si seguono le fasi fondamentali delle celebrazioni, partendo dagli eventi musicali promossi dal viceré duca di Montemar e da altri nobili palermitani prima dell'arrivo del sovrano, per poi spostarsi all'evento vero e proprio. L'attenzione si concentra quindi sulla serenata ai Quattro Canti per l'entrata trionfale, sugli spettacoli musicali organizzati nel 'Teatrino' della Marina e infine sulle sontuose musiche eseguite durante l'incoronazione in cattedrale.
Agrarian development and state building in Spain: the contest for irrigation in the Valencian Region, 1770–1860
2022
AbstractA determined expansion in the productive capacity of Spanish agriculture was a fundamental and contentious objective during the crisis of the country’s ancien régime and the formation of the liberal state, in the years of transition from the eighteenth to the nineteenth centuries. In this study we examine a fundamental reorientation that occurred in an ambitious project for the expansion of irrigation in the region of Valencia. In this region, characterised by a well-rooted commercial agriculture, the original scheme, initiated by an enlightened aristocrat well connected with the royal court, would be profoundly altered in the transition from one political regime to another. The irr…
Urban environment and cognitive and motor function in children from four European birth cohorts
2021
[EN]Background: The urban environment may influence neurodevelopment from conception onwards, but there is no evaluation of the impact of multiple groups of exposures simultaneously. We investigated the association between early-life urban environment and cognitive and motor function in children. Methods: We used data from 5403 mother-child pairs from four population-based birth-cohorts (UK, France, Spain, and Greece). We estimated thirteen urban home exposures during pregnancy and childhood, including: built environment, natural spaces, and air pollution. Verbal, non-verbal, gross motor, and fine motor functions were assessed using validated tests at five years old. We ran adjusted multi-e…
La Unión Europea y el urbanismo valenciano. ¿Conflicto jurídico o político?
2009
Eugenio.L.Burriel@uv.es Se intenta explicar el origen, evolución, causas y consecuencias del insólito conflicto planteado desde 2005 entre el Parlamento Europeo y el urbanismo de la Comunidad Valenciana, que ha acabado extendiéndose al urbanismo de toda España. En particular se busca mostrar cómo se entremezclan los aspectos jurídicos y políticos, pero son éstos los determinantes claves del conflicto. This paper explains the origin, evolution, causes, and consequences of the unusual conflict started in 2005 between the European Parliament and urban policies of the Comunidad Valenciana that has ended up extending to the national level. In particular it seeks to demonstrate how legal and poli…
Retrospective analysis of pesticide metabolites in urine using liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry
2016
Abstract A comprehensive retrospective analysis of pesticide metabolites in urine was developed, using liquid chromatography coupled to Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) that includes both post-run target (suspect screening) and non-target screening. An accurate-mass database comprising 263 pesticide metabolites was built and used for the post-run screening analysis. For non-target analysis, a “fragmentation-degradation” relationship strategy was selected. The proposed methodology was applied to 49 real urine samples from pregnant women. In the post-target analysis 26 pesticide metabolites were tentatively identified, 8 of which (2-diethylamino-6-methyl-pyrimidinol; 3-…
Food predictability determines space use of endangered vultures: implications for management of supplementary feeding.
2013
Understanding space use of free-living endangered animals is key to inform management decisions for conservation planning. Like most scavengers, vultures have evolved under a context of unpredictability of food resources (i.e. exploiting scattered carcasses that are intermittently available). However, the role of predictable sources of food in shaping spatial ecology of vultures has seldom been studied in detail. Here, we quantify the home range of the Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus), a long-lived raptor which has experienced severe population decline throughout its range and is qualified as endangered worldwide. To this end six adults were tracked by satellite telemetry in Spain d…
