Thirty years of Political Science in Spain: professionalization, expansion and adjustment

The return of democracy to Spain in 1977 cleared the way for the institutional differentiation and launch of the discipline in the country. However, this double process did not actually crystallize until the mid 1980’s, when the “Political Science and Public Administration” was approved by the government as a separate field of knowledge. This article intends to provide an account of the most relevant milestones that took place since then until the last few years of the 20th century, when full institutionalization of the discipline was reached with the publication of the first issue of this Journal. Moreover, the article systematizes a comprehensive set of data on students, faculty staff, teaching and research structures, scientific congresses, etc., with an aim at offering a balance of the main events and changes experienced by the discipline and the profession during their consolidation phase in the 21st century. The developments covered here have contributed to the evolution from the initial amateurism to the professionalization of scholars dedicated to this social science, which has gained full recognition in the academic sphere both nationally and internationally, even if it still suffers from a lack of legitimacy concerning the specificity of its subject vis-à-vis other social sciences.</p

Proyecto, investigación e innovación en urbanismo, arquitectura y diseño industrial

Actas de congresoLas VII Jornadas de Investigación “Encuentro y Reflexión” y I Jornadas de Investigación de becarios y doctorandos. Proyecto, investigación e innovación en Urbanismo, Arquitectura y Diseño Industrial se centraron en cuatro ejes: el proyecto; la dimensión tecnológica y la gestión; la dimensión social y cultural y la enseñanza en Arquitectura, Urbanismo y Diseño Industrial, sustentados en las líneas prioritarias de investigación definidas epistemológicamente en el Consejo Asesor de Ciencia y Tecnología de esta Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Con el objetivo de afianzar continuidad, formación y transferencia de métodos, metodología y recursos se incorporó becarios y doctorandos de los Institutos de investigación. La Comisión Honoraria la integraron las tres Secretarias de Investigación de la Facultad, arquitectas Marta Polo, quien fundó y María del Carmen Franchello y Nora Gutiérrez Crespo quienes continuaron la tradición de la buena práctica del debate en la cotidianeidad de la propia Facultad. Los textos que conforman las VII Jornadas son los avances y resultados de las investigaciones realizadas en el bienio 2016-2018.Fil: Novello, María Alejandra. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.

Una experiencia de partido regional: el caso del Partido Socialista de Andalucía, Partido Andaluz

Se describe el proceso de formación del Partido Socialista de Andalucía, su participación en la transición democrática en España hasta su fracaso electoral de 1982, su estructura interna e ideología. Usando el modelo de ?esquematización? propuesto por Derek. W. Urwin en Harbinger, Fossil or Fleabite? The European Mosaic of Regional Parties, también se estudia la estrategia del partido y el lugar que ocupa dentro del contexto de los partidos regionales en Europa. Las fuentes citadas incluyen documentos congresuales del Partido, datos electorales, noticias de la publicación del partido Andalucía Libre, publicaciones del líder del Partido y actas de las reuniones de los Parlamento

La trágica historia de la familia del político republicano Emilio Martínez Jerez

Antonio Martínez Pérez (1840-1927) and Piedad Jerez López (1844-1910) founded a family of wealthy agricultural landowners in the province of Granada. From their five sons, just one accomplished Higher Education studies, graduating as an attorney. He was Emilio Martínez Jerez, who became Secretary of the Supreme Court and elected Deputy by Granada�s province in the Popular Front electoral coalition, as a member of Unión Republicana, in February 1936. In spite of his political relevance as a Republican, he could not prevent the assassination of two of his brothers and many other close relatives, perpetrated by uncontrolled revolutionaries during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) in the Republican area of the District of the Oriental Mounts of Granada. Our data support the hypothesis that the assassinations were due to multiple causes, among which the major would be the economic interests and the class hatred.La familia fundada por Antonio Martínez Pérez (1840-1927) y Piedad Jerez López (1844-1910) pertenecía al sector de grandes terratenientes de la provincia de Granada. Solo uno de sus cinco hijos, Emilio Martínez Jerez, estudió en la Universidad, licenciándose en Derecho. Emilio ejerció la abogacía en Madrid y llegó a ser secretario de sala del Tribunal Supremo durante la Segunda República, siendo elegido diputado por la provincia de Granada en la coalición electoral del Frente Popular, como miembro de Unión Republicana, en febrero de 1936. A pesar de alcanzar una cierta relevancia como político republicano, no pudo impedir el asesinato de dos de sus hermanos ni el de otros muchos familiares próximos por revolucionarios incontrolados en la zona republicana de la comarca de los Montes Orientales de Granada durante la Guerra Civil (1936-1939). Nuestros datos apoyan la hipótesis de que los asesinatos fueron debidos a multiples causas, entre las cuales las principales serían los intereses económicos y el odio de clases

Clinical phenotypes of acute heart failure based on signs and symptoms of perfusion and congestion at emergency department presentation and their relationship with patient management and outcomes

Objective To compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with acute heart failure (AHF) according to clinical profiles based on congestion and perfusion determined in the emergency department (ED). Methods and results Overall, 11 261 unselected AHF patients from 41 Spanish EDs were classified according to perfusion (normoperfusion = warm; hypoperfusion = cold) and congestion (not = dry; yes = wet). Baseline and decompensation characteristics were recorded as were the main wards to which patients were admitted. The primary outcome was 1-year all-cause mortality; secondary outcomes were need for hospitalisation during the index AHF event, in-hospital all-cause mortality, prolonged hospitalisation, 7-day post-discharge ED revisit for AHF and 30-day post-discharge rehospitalisation for AHF. A total of 8558 patients (76.0%) were warm+ wet, 1929 (17.1%) cold+ wet, 675 (6.0%) warm+ dry, and 99 (0.9%) cold+ dry; hypoperfused (cold) patients were more frequently admitted to intensive care units and geriatrics departments, and warm+ wet patients were discharged home without admission. The four phenotypes differed in most of the baseline and decompensation characteristics. The 1-year mortality was 30.8%, and compared to warm+ dry, the adjusted hazard ratios were significantly increased for cold+ wet (1.660; 95% confidence interval 1.400-1.968) and cold+ dry (1.672; 95% confidence interval 1.189-2.351). Hypoperfused (cold) phenotypes also showed higher rates of index episode hospitalisation and in-hospital mortality, while congestive (wet) phenotypes had a higher risk of prolonged hospitalisation but decreased risk of rehospitalisation. No differences were observed among phenotypes in ED revisit risk. Conclusions Bedside clinical evaluation of congestion and perfusion of AHF patients upon ED arrival and classification according to phenotypic profiles proposed by the latest European Society of Cardiology guidelines provide useful complementary information and help to rapidly predict patient outcomes shortly after ED patient arrival
