Análisis del impacto de la actividad repobladora en la estadística del desempleo, durante el periodo de tiempo entre 1946 y 1961, en varias provincias españolas

Con el objetivo de analitzar el impacto que tuvo la política repobladora en el paro rural se analizan para cada una de las províncias españolas la evoluación de la tasa de desempleo agrícola i forestal y la actividad repobladora durante el perido de 1946-62. En este análisi descriptivo previo, no se han econtrado evidencias claras de esta relación si bien en algunas provincias el efecto repoblador sobre el desempleo parece reflejarse

Jesuitas y franciscanos bajo el Sol Naciente: El Japón del siglo XVI y los proyectos cristianos de evangelización

En este trabajo se exponen los procesos históricos de conformación políticosocial de Japón en el siglo XVI, así como los diferentes códigos que componen el lenguaje filosófico-religioso. Desde el origen del budismo hasta su expansión por el sudeste asiático y su llegada al archipiélago nipón, sirviendo de vehículo de transmisión cultural. Por último, se estudia la llegada de la Compañía de Jesús y su proyecto evangelizador, mostrando los procesos de adaptación cultural y su confrontación con la llegada de órdenes mendicantes, especialmente la franciscana, en el marco de la expansión de la corona ibérica y la primera globalización.In this work are exposed the historical processes of political-social conformation of Japan in the 16th century, as well as the different codes that make up the philosophicalreligious language.

On the optimaL response of q-vortex

Wingtip vortices represent a hazard for the stability of the following airplane in airport highways. These flows have been usually modeled as swirling jets/wakes, which are known to be highly unstable and susceptible to breakdown at high Reynolds numbers for certain flow conditions, but different to the ones present in real flying airplanes. A very recent study based on Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) shows that a large variety of helical responses can be excited and amplified when a harmonic inlet forcing is imposed. In this work, the optimal response of q-vortex (both axial vorticity and axial velocity can be modeled by a Gaussian profile) is studied by considering the time-harmonically forced problem with a certain frequency ω. We first reproduce Guo and Sun’s results for the Lamb-Oseen vortex (no axial flow) to validate our numerical code. In the axisymmetric case m = 0, the system response is the largest when the input frequency is null. The axial flow has a weak influence in the response for any axial velocity intensity. We also consider helical perturbations |m| = 1. These perturbations are excited through a resonance mechanism at moderate and large wavelengths as it is shown in Figure 1. In addition, Figure 2 shows that the frequency at which the optimal gain is obtained is not a continuous function of the axial wavenumber k. At smaller wavelengths, large response is excited by steady forcing. Regarding the axial flow, the unstable response is the largest when the axial velocity intensity, 1/q, is near to zero. For perturbations with higher azimuthal wavenumbers |m| > 1, the magnitudes of the response are smaller than those for helical modes. In order to establish an alternative validation, DNS has been carried out by using a pseudospectral Fourier formulation finding a very good agreement.Universidad de Málaga.

Thermal Performance Assessment of Walls Made of Three Types of Sustainable Concrete Blocks by Means of FEM and Validated through an Extensive Measurement Campaign

The thermal behavior of three different walls, made with and without by-products, is assessed by means of the Finite Element Method, aiming to evaluate its performance in terms of the sustainable construction of the blocks. Results were compared to those obtained from an experimental campaign, aiming at validation of the model. The by-products used for the blocks were “lime sludge” and “sawdust”, whose performance was compared against the traditional blocks made of concrete as a reference, aiming to demonstrate its sustainability, showing decreases of the thermal transmittance up to 10.5%. Additionally, following the same methodology, the thermal behavior of these above-mentioned blocks but now with added internal insulation made of “recycled cellulose” was assessed, showing higher decreases up to 25.5%, increasing sustainability by addressing an additional reduction in waste, so the right combination of using by-products and the insulating filler in their cavities has been revealed as a promising way of optimizing the walls, offering a relevant improvement in energy savings. Finally, when comparing the U-values of the blocks made of concrete without insulation versus those made of by-products, with insulation, improvements up to 33.3% were reached. The adaptation of the procedure through a moisture correction factor was also incorporated

The Valencian silos were constructed to house the underground grain storage of Valencia City. This architectural complex is composed of three buildings and a big square (silo-yard), under which 41 silos are placed. The construction of the silo-yard pavement extended for two centuries (16 18th century) following different construction systems. Historical archives confirmed seven pavement construction periods. However, archive data provided scant information on pavement layers and the construction periods. A GPR survey was carried out for pinpointing the seven pavement construction periods. A GSSI SIR-3000 equipment with a 400-MHz frequency antenna was used for collecting 1 × 1 m grid −141 profiles across the square (5110 m2), reaching 1.5-m depth. In addition, a GPS survey was performed specifically for surface mapping the silo-yard in detail. The combined use of the GPR data (2-D reflection profiles, spectra, and amplitude slice maps) with the historical archives allowed identifying and delineating the different pavement construction periods on the silo-yard map in terms of materials and thicknesses. These results demonstrate GPR is a noninvasive and nondestructive technique for mapping soils and near surface horizons. Additionally, the combined use of the GPR data with the historical documentation makes this technique even more efficient for the comprehension of shallow ground layers, especially in cultural heritage studies.This work was supported by the Valencian Government under Grant ACIF/2011/032.

Understanding Motivations for Individual and Collective Sustainable Food Consumption: A Case Study of the Galician Conscious and Responsible Consumption Network

[Abstract] Although consumer attitude towards sustainable food has increased over time, scientific research suggests that more profound comprehension is needed of the social and psychological dimensions that condition consumers’ willingness to purchase food items produced in a sustainable way. The current study attempts to understand the individual motivations that drive conscious consumption, in both the individual and collective spheres, expressed through joining a local social innovation in the food domain. A multi-method design was used, which combined participatory observation, document analysis, and twenty-six in-depth interviews with members of eight local food consumption initiatives located in the Galician region (Spain). The findings reveal that sustainable food purchasing is driven by the individual’s motivation to maintain a healthy diet, pro-environmental and social values, environmental awareness, and attachment to Galician rural areas. Concerning motivations underlying people’s willingness to engage in conscious and responsible consumption initiatives, the first reason relates to the fulfilment of basic needs (affordability and accessibility to organic, low-carbon, and fair-trade goods), followed by sociopolitical goals and the aspiration to satisfying social and psychological needs such as the need for connectedness or the desire for autonomy and control over one’s purchasing decisions

Understanding subterranean grain storage heritage in the Mediterranean region: The Valencian silos (Spain)

Underground space has widely been used through history, provided either by natural or by dug cavities that were used as storage for farming production. In particular, cereals has constantly been present in the Mediterranean cultures. Their preservation was crucial in the Mediterranean grain trade for local and urban growth. The main goal of this multidisciplinary study is to analyse the typological and architectural characteristics of underground Mediterranean granary structures. It also discusses the excavation process for building a silo, focusing in a study of the Valencian silos at the Spanish Mediterraean shore. The Valencian silo-yard was essential for the socio-economic city development in the 16th century. this is the first research performed on this subterranean ensemble, by searching through historical documents and using a non-destructive technique (NDT) as Ground Penetrating Radar (SIR-3000, GSI) with 100 MHZ and 400 MHZ antennae. The composition soil was obtained for hydrogeological characteristics by goetechnical tests. Besides, laser scanner and GPS surveys were carried out for mapping the silo-yard in detail. Since the Valencian silos are a relevant example of subterranean engineering storage, we were able to carry out a comparative study of significant Mediterranean silos (from Algeria, Italy, Jordan, Malta and Turkey) by reviewing documentation. As a result, these underground spaces share numerous features, as type of terrain, excavation process, geographic location, morphology, dimensions, sealing system, usage, etc. These similar features illustrate that a subterranean grain storage stereotype is present in the Mediterranean región heritage.The authors would like to thank Valencia and Burjassot city councils for letting us carry out this research of the Valencian silos, as well as to the Historical Archive of Valencia for the attention and helpful suggestions. We would like to show our gratitude to the people who have collaborated with diverse information, as the author Mr. Miret and the manager of Events & Customer Care in Malta Tourism Authority, Mr. Morana. Also we would like to express our appreciation to the Valencian Government, which through a pre-doctoral grant has funded this research (ACIF/2011/032).Valls Ayuso, A.; García García, F.; Ramírez Blanco, MJ.; Benlloch Marco, J.

An efficient VWO control measure is the use of tolerant/resistant cultivars. Low information is available about olive secondary metabolites and its relationship with VWO tolerance. In this study, a comprehensive metabolic profiling of the roots of six olive cultivars differing in their level of tolerance/susceptibility to VWO was addressed. Potential changes in the metabolite profiles due to the presence of the pathogen were also assessed. A strong relationship between the quantitative basal composition of the root secondary metabolic profile and VWO tolerance/susceptibility of olive varieties was found. Tolerant cultivars showed higher content of secoiridoids, while the susceptible ones presented greater amounts of verbascoside and methoxypinoresinol glucoside. The presence of V. dahliae only caused few significant variations mostly restricted to the earliest times after inoculation. Thus, a rapid activation of biochemical- based root defense mechanisms was observed.Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades (MICIU)/Agencia Estatal de Investigacion (AEI) PID2019-106283RB-I00, BES-2017-081269, FPU19/00700MCIN/AEI RYC2021-032996-IEuropean Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR RYC2021-032996-IFEDER/Junta de Andalucia-Consejeria de Conocimiento, Investigacion y UniversidadJunta de Andalucia Transformacion Economica, Industria, Conocimiento y Universidades P20_00263FEDER/Junta de Andalucia-Consejeria de Economia y Conocimiento B-AGR-416-UGR1
