Towards a Degrowth Critique of Aeromobilities: An Urban Political Ecology Perspective on the Airport Expansion Resistance in Barcelona
Aeromobilities—socio‐technical systems that lock in dependence on fossil fuel‐based mobilities—contribute substantially to climate change and uneven geographies. They represent paradigmatic capitalism‐driven forms of metabolism, permeated by logics of efficiency and growth. While existing literature has examined resistance to airport expansion, it has overlooked opposition to the metabolic dimensions of aeromobility. Using an urban political ecol…
Militant Research and Public Policy: From Action to Reform and from Reform to Action
There exists a political tradition that views research as a transformative tool that empowers people to diagnose their own realities and enact change. Drawing on the legacy of militant research, this paper examines its role in shaping and influencing public policy, identifying two distinct frameworks: Action‐to‐Reform, which focuses on leveraging grassroots knowledge to achieve systemic reforms, and Reform‐to‐Action, which integrates public–commu…
An Approach to the Basis of the Right to Freedom of Association According to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights
As it occurs in any democracy, each State has a particular regulation of the scope of the rights recognized in its constitution and secondary legislation. However, the existence of regional and universal jurisdictions that address human rights to which States have a membership presents a broader view of interpreting these rights and enables a complementary vision with each constitutional system. The right to freedom of association is one example,…
Cognitive similarity and the regional development of inventions: Heterogeneity across renewable energy technologies
This paper finds that the development of inventions in renewable energy technologies seems to arise from cognitively similar knowledge located in the region, this being more the case in the last years (from 2010 onwards). However, despite this general conclusion, we observe a certain variability across technologies within the renewable energy realm. Our findings suggest that the role of knowledge obtained from local similar technologies depends o…
Geographical distribution of the Covid-19 pandemic and key determinants: Evolution across waves in Spain
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, most research has examined specific temporal snapshots. This study diverges by offering a comprehensive analysis of COVID-19 incidence across the Spanish provinces throughout six distinct waves of the pandemic. Using spatial exploratory techniques, we find no single pandemic; rather, there have been waves. Significant differences in the spatial distribution of cases and deaths across six waves show that each has uniq…
The Role of Relatedness and Unrelatedness for the Geography of Technological Breakthroughs in Europe
This article proposes a framework to study how the existing knowledge portfolio of regional economies affects the emergence and occurrence of breakthrough technologies. The study discusses the relevance of cognitive distance between the technology of a breakthrough invention and the existing technological base in their geographic vicinity. Theoretically, it introduces the idea that both relatedness and unrelatedness between the technologies in br…
Knowledge flows and technologies in renewable energies at the regional level in Europe
This study provides a new insight into the impact of knowledge flows for renewable energy (RE) technologies. With patent data for the European regions in the period 2000–10, we observe that RE technologies have more analytical knowledge content than the rest of the technologies. They also seem to benefit highly from both scientific knowledge flows and technological knowledge flows coming from distant places. This pattern is peculiar to the RE fie…
Physical fitness, physical activity, sedentary behavior and psychological predictors in Chilean adolescents: Differences by gender
The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of physical fitness, physical activity, sedentary behavior and psychological predictors of physical activity among male and female Chilean adolescents. A total of 70 male and 56 female Chilean adolescents (aged 13.00 ± 1.00 years old) were assessed for physical fitness (body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness), habitual physical activity and sedentary behavior (GT3X accelerometer) and psy…
Green regions and local firms' innovation
Relatedness, external linkages and regional innovation in Europe
Relatedness, external linkages and regional innovation in Europe. Regional Studies. This paper analyses if the generation of new knowledge benefits from the combination of similar or dissimilar pieces of existing technologies, in terms of their technological content (related versus unrelated variety), for the case of European regions. Specifically, it analyses the relevance of variety in the case of local knowledge as well as in the case of the k…
Introduction: Intangible Assets and Regional Economic Growth
Agglomeration economies and regional intangible assets: An empirical investigation
This article examines the impact of agglomeration economies on economic outcomes and is specifically concerned with analysing the effect on standard regressions of including variables that measure intangible assets that might boost productivity as well. Thus, in assessing the relationship between agglomeration and productivity, we consider endogeneity issues arising from the omission of these variables, together with problems of simultaneity and …
Research Networks and Inventors' Mobility as Drivers of Innovation: Evidence from Europe
Miguélez E. and Moreno R. Research networks and inventors' mobility as drivers of innovation: evidence from Europe, Regional Studies. This paper investigates the importance of the labour mobility of inventors, as well as the scale, extent and density of their collaborative research networks, for regional innovation outcomes. To do so, a knowledge production function framework at the regional level is used. The empirical approach presented takes f…
Profitability of Investments in Education: Evidence from Spanish Regions
n The objective of this paper is to furnish new evidence concerning the aggregate profitability of the accumulation of educational human capital. In addition to the traditional measure of the return to human capital, combining the information on its shadow price with the social cost of providing education allows us to confirm the profitability of investments in education as a tool for promoting economic growth. The possibility of obtaining estima…
The Role of Network Access on Regional Specialization in Manufacturing across Europe
Mora T. and Moreno R. The role of network access on regional specialization in manufacturing across Europe, Regional Studies. This paper focuses on the debate over the importance of infrastructure in the course of European integration. It aims to analyse whether the accessibility created by the improvement in the access to the transport network has any effect on European regional specialization levels within manufacturing. The results point to th…
Measuring the adoption of innovation. A typology of EU countries based on the Innovation Survey
Based on the Community Innovation Survey, this paper suggests new indicators of innovation adoption. The magnitude of innovation adoption is assessed for 22 EU countries and different industries. The most striking feature is the correlation between the innovation activities and the adoption rate. Countries with strong R&D and human resources and high innovation output exhibit the highest adoption rates. This supports the idea that innovation adop…

Influence of Quality of Life on Urban Growth: A Case Study of Barcelona, Spain
Royuela V., Moreno R. and Vayá E. Influence of quality-of-life on urban growth: a case study of Barcelona, Spain, Regional Studies. There are several determinants that influence household location decisions. More concretely, the recent economic literature assigns an increasingly important role to the variables governing quality-of-life. Nevertheless, the spatial stationarity of the parameters is implicitly assumed in most studies. The paper analy…
Does the modality principle hold for different media? A test of the method‐affects‐learning hypothesis
Does the modality of instructional messages affect learning? How does it affect different media? In this paper, I offer an answer to these questions by first proposing a theoretical framework from which effective instructional methods can be derived. Then, I report a set of studies where one method, the modality principle, was tested across different media and found to produce significant learning benefits. Based on the findings and those of a re…
Spatial Spillovers and Innovation Activity in European Regions
This paper explores the spatial distribution of innovative activity and the role of technological spillovers in the process of knowledge creation and diffusion across 175 regions of seventeen countries in Europe (the fifteen members of the pre-2004 European Union plus Switzerland and Norway). The analysis is based on a databank set up by CRENoS on regional patenting at the European Patent Office, spanning 1978–2001 and classified by ISIC sectors.…

Morphological changes related to the climateric period of the adult Cuban women
The aim of the present study is to analyze the morphologic changes occurring along the period of a woman's life thatareknown as climacterium. Our sample consists of 648 women from different provinces of Cuba, but who lived in Havana for at least 15 years. Morphological variables such as height, weight, biliocristal and biachromial diameters and six subcutaneous fat skinfolds were measured. With regard to the menopausic condition, the sample was d…
The underreporting of deaths of American Indian children in California, 1979 through 1993
OBJECTIVES: This study linked birth and death certificates to determine misclassification of deaths of American Indian children in California. METHODS: Birth records for 1979 to 1993 were matched with mortality records through a computerized system. RESULTS: The number of deaths to American Indians was estimated to be three to four times greater than that reported on death certificates. Children in urban counties and those who died before 1987 we…
Demography and H‐Le a salivary secretion of the Macá Indians of Paraguay
The Macá Indians living at Fray Bartolomé de las Casas show a high rate of endogamy, high mortality (36% of them die before the age of reproduction), low fertility (average of 3.6 livebirths per female who completed her reproductive performance) and low variance in family size. The index of opportunity for selection (0.88) is lower than the one obtained in other populations of agriculturalists and in industrialized communities. The frequency of H…
