Railroad integration and uneven development on the European periphery, 1870-1910
2021
This study explores the relationship between railroad integration and regional development on the European periphery between 1870 and 1910, based on a regional dataset including 291 spatial units. Railroad integration is proxied by railroad density, while per capita GDP is used as an indicator of economic development. The period under study is of particular relevance as it has been associated with the second wave of railroad construction in Europe and also coincides with the industrialization of most of the continent. Overall, we found that railroads had a significant and positive impact on the growth of per capita GDP across Europe. The magnitude of this relationship appears to be relative…
Educación superior femenina y nuevas conformaciones identitarias: Juventud Universitaria Femenina (1919-1930)
2017
This article analyses the way the Juventud Universitaria Femenina (JUF) was set up in 1920, just a few years after women were allowed to take higher studies in Spain,with the main aims of building and giving meanings to the new identity of "female university students ".In a social setting in which some tinycracks were being made in the model of household femininity, the JUF disseminated the discourse and action taken by these intellectually trained professional women who, from 1928, extended their social-political participation, also demanding equal rightsfor women.By forming linguistic structures and with new life experience and practices, this was how the JUF trained a minority sector of …
Enfermar lejos de casa : la atención médica y veterinaria en los hostales de la Corona de Aragón durante la Baja Edad Media
2013
During the late Middle Ages the mobility of people was intense, for various reasons. Frequently, people stayed in hostels, which were abundant in all cities and in the countryside and where they could rest, eat and receive medical care for themselves and their horses. These hostels were favourable environments to the intervention of barbers and surgeons, because many fights resulting in injuries took place there.Durante la baja Edad Media la movilidad de las personas fue muy intensa, por razones diversas. Frecuentemente la gente se alojaba en hostales, abundantes en todas las ciudades y también en el mundo rural, donde podían descansar, alimentarse y recibir atención médica para ellos y par…
Domestic Homicide and Emotions from the Late Nineteenth Century to the 1920s
2020
Some scholars have suggested that a significant change in homicides and interpersonal violence occurred in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This new type of violence was characterised by strong feelings between the offender and their victim, and the change was connected to modernisation, changes in power balance between men and women, and individualism. Based on the Court of Appeal documents, we deduced that the murder of one’s spouse, father, or brother were the most prevalent homicides within families in Finland at the time. The Court documents, in conjunction with newspaper accounts, captured the trend of troubled family relationships and demonstrated that lethal family…
Intervenir à titre privé dans la diplomatie de sa cité : l'exemple de la paix de Nicias chez Thucydide
2013
Act on private basis in diplomacy of one’s own city. The example of Nicias’ peace in Thucydides. During the diplomatic exchanges related at the beginning of the fifth book, Thucydides shows two explicit private interventions using words connected with idia. First, two ephores, Cleoboulos and Xenares, make private propositions. Then, an Athenian, Alcibiades sends a private messenger. Whereas these two actions are unique in the fifth book, because Thucydides’ vocabulary is specific, some other citizens express opinions different from the majority decisions. Some of them act against the policy of their City. Self-interest may incite some citizens to participate in civic action, and the private…
Liturgia domowa sprawowana przez małżonków w codzienności
2020
Określenie chrześcijańskiej rodziny mianem „sanktuarium domowego Kościoła” pokazuje, że jest ona miejscem przygotowywania się jej członków do udziału w liturgii sprawowanej we wspólnocie parafialnej. Jednocześnie jest też miejscem przedłużania w domu kultu sprawowanego w kościele parafialnym. Jedną z głównych potrzeb rodziny i małżeństwa jest religijna kultura rodzinna, wyrażana w domowym zaciszu na wspólnej modlitwie. Jej pielęgnowanie ma prowadzić do stworzenia swoistego rytuału religijnego danej rodziny. Aby taki rytuał był także akceptowany i praktykowany przez młode pokolenie, musi być czymś autentycznie przeżywanym przez małżonków. Formacja, którą dzieci otrzymują od rodziców, ma im p…
Mi.P.A.F. targeted project for evaluation of European and Japanese plum rootstocks in Italy: Results of six years of observations
2007
The Mi.P.A.F. (Italian Ministry of Agriculture) targeted project "National Lists of Recommended Rootstocks and Cultivars", coordinated by Prof. F. Loreti, University of Pisa, aims at evaluating the performance of fruit rootstocks introduced into the Italian nursery market. As part of this project, trials were established to compare some of the most interesting rootstocks for European and Japanese plum in 9 different locations in Italy. The rootstocks tested were: 'Citation-Zaipime', 'GF 31', 'Marianna GF 8/1', 'Ishtara-Ferciana', 'Jaspi-Fereley', 'Julior-Ferdor', 'Myrobalan 29C', 'Myrobalan B', 'MrS 2/5' and 'Myrocal'. In 1995, nine orchards were planted at 5 × 5 m spacing; in each orchard,…
Domestic pig prioritized in one health action against fascioliasis in human endemic areas: Experimental assessment of transmission capacity and epide…
2021
The Northern Bolivian Altiplano is the human fascioliasis hyperendemic area where the highest prevalences and intensities in humans have been reported. Preventive chemotherapy was implemented in the last ten years. Surveillance showed high human infection and re-infection rates in between the annual triclabendazole monodose treatments. A complementary One Health control action was launched to decrease the infection risk. Among the multidisciplinary axes, there is the need to establish animal reservoir species priorities for a more efficient control. Laboratory and field studies were performed for the first time to assess the Fasciola hepatica transmission capacity of the pig and its potenti…
Program for the Prevention of Violence among Teenage Couples in the School Setting
2015
Domestic violence remains one of the major problems in the 21st century entailing severe costs and consequences for the victims. Despite the promulgated laws, this type of violence has increased among adolescents. Although several theories have been put forward to explain the causes of domestic violence, a psychobiological or social-educative explanation that proposes an agreed starting point for understanding and preventing this phenomenon is lacking. Experts in the field agree on the need for programs that focus on this relational problem; however, existing programs for adolescents have a broad spectrum where the prevention of domestic violence is just one more aspect of their objectives.…
The Effect of Hydrology on Soil Erosion
2020
In this Special Issue, we have tried to include manuscripts about soil erosion and degradation processes and the accelerated rates due to hydrological processes and climate change. We considered that the main goal was successfully reached. The new research focused on measurements, modelling, and experiments under field or laboratory conditions developed at different scales (pedon, hillslope, and catchment) were submitted and published. This Special Issue received investigations from different parts of the world such as Ethiopia, Morocco, China, Iran, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Spain, among others. We are happy to see that all papers presented findings characterized as unconventional, provo…
