The European Union's Global Health Actorness: A Research Agenda for a New Age of Pandemics
Whilst the European Union's (EU's) response to health emergencies has historically been subpar, some suggest that it emerged from COVID‐19 as a stronger global health actor. This prompts two interrelated questions: how have International Relations scholars conceptualised and assessed EU ‘actorness’ in the all‐too‐often neglected field of global health, and what adjustments are required in anticipation of a potential new age of pandemics? This art…
Parliamentary acceptability of EU military deployments in member states: Beyond rubber-stamping
La movilidad social de los emigrantes españoles en Europa
La migración española de la segunda mitad del siglo XX se ha caracterizado en un primer momento por su carácter masivo y poco cualificado, seguido por un interregno de procesos de retorno y finalmente por una migración estable, no masiva pero altamente cualificada. La atención prestada a la inmigración masiva que recibe España a finales del siglo XX relegó a un segundo plano esta emigración cualificada de españoles. En este artículo se considera …
The impact of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine on public perceptions of EU security and defence integration: A big data analysis
The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine sent shockwaves through Europe and led to rapid policy changes concomitant with variations in citizen perceptions. This article analyses how EU public opinion on security and defence matters has reacted to the war: what patterns of change and continuity can be detected, what differences are visible between Member States, and how might those be explained? Our analysis draws on big data-based sentiment analysis …

Este trabajo analiza las relaciones estructurales entre los perfiles sociodemográficos y la participación ele…
Improved bounds and high-accuracy estimates for remaining life expectancy via quadrature rule-based methods
Previous research has derived bounds on the remaining life expectancy function e(x) that connect survivorship and remaining life expectancy at two age values and therefore can be used to, among other things, estimate life expectancy at birth when the popul
Sistematización conceptual de las mediciones de ajuste ideológico entre la oferta de representación política y la demanda ciudadana
Este artículo se centra en mejorar el conocimiento de las claves explicativas que relacionen la demanda de representación política de la ciudadanía, la identificación ideológica y la capacidad de los partidos de responder a dicha demanda de representación. Se plantea una propuesta de conceptualización que mida el grado de ajuste entre dichos conceptos. Se aplican tres estrategias de medición, la operativización topológica, la operativización medi…
A Theory of Public Higher Education
What would American public higher education look like if it was unencumbered by its own history? What if it were designed from scratch today, in full view of everything we have come to know about student learning, schooling, and our projections about the future of knowledge and work? This thought experiment project does just that. After justifying the need for a thoroughgoing redesign now, the backward-designed axiomatic approach is used to deter…

Defining Quality of Life Levels to Enhance Clinical Interpretation in Multiple Sclerosis: Application of a Novel Clustering Method
BACKGROUND: To enhance the use of quality of life (QoL) measures in clinical practice, it is pertinent to help clinicians interpret QoL scores. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to define clusters of QoL levels from a specific questionnaire (MusiQoL) for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients using a new method of interpretable clustering based on unsupervised binary trees and to test the validity regarding clinical and functional outcomes. METHODS:…
Crisis política y juventud en España: El declive del bipartidismo electoral
This paper shows the increasing trend of Spanish young people towards non-conventional mechanisms of political expression, in a crisis context which has reduced its reliance on traditional political actors. As an alternative to bipartisanship, political participation moves towards increased interest and attention to new players, such as emergent political parties. Using a covariance structural model, factors such as political activism, awareness …
An Assessment of the Dynamic of Religious Ritualism in Sporting Environments
Commons and councils: Agrarian collectivism and balanced development in the north of Spain in the modern period
In light of the extensive presence and preservation of communal property and resources in territories in mainland Spain, the aim of this paper is to analyse the keys to the use, distribution and retention of such properties and resources, particularly those still in existence, with particular regard to common pasture lands and woodlands. A compilation of council by-laws from past periods, combined with the production of a catalogue of agricultura…
Malinowski and the New Humanism
In this article Bronislaw Malinowski's ideas on humanism are analysed with reference to unpublished texts and drafts, published texts such as A Diary in the Strict Sense of the Term, his personal letters to his wife Elsie Masson and articles in which his ideals were reflected. An attempt will also be made to set Malinowski's proposal for the New Humanism in its scientific and cultural context along with the work of other great thinkers and humani…
Las identidades transitorias. Estrategias de socialización de los residentes europeos en la Comunidad Valenciana
El artículo plantea un análisis en torno a las claves explicativas del proceso de formación de capital social y las estrategias de inserción en la sociedad civil española de los extranjeros europeos residentes en la Comunidad Valenciana. La hipótesis de trabajo plantea la existencia de dos discursos diferenciados (integración y coexistencia). Los resultados muestran cómo las variables “edad” y “posición laboral” determinan en gran medida la adscr…
La emigración cualificada española en Francia y Alemania
Malgrat l’interès que desperta el fenomen de les migracions qualificades, és difícil de trobar dades que permetin de fer una anàlisi detallada dels factors que condicionen la mobilitat. El cas espanyol constitueix un exemple de la modificació qualitativa en la composició de les migracions de sud a nord a Europa després de l’ingrés a la Comunitat Econòmica Europea. No es van produir migracions massives de treballadors sense qualificació; no obstan…

Educating for difference in a Romany community in Spain: An exercise in integration
The marginalization of the Romany community in Spain, as elsewhere in the world, has its roots in a centuries‐old history of ethnic segregation. In response, the Romany community has come to feel intimidated and rejected. This has led to the establishment of communities on the outskirts of cities, generally with very poor living standards. In this paper I shall describe the social integration process of Romanies in one particular state school, pr…
Tendencias actuales de las migraciones europeas
Una de las dimensiones que debe ser controlada cuando se estudian las migraciones internas de la Unión Europea es la de los factores de atracción y empuje (pull and push). A partir de una matriz de probabilidades de transición, el presente artículo aplica un modelo exploratorio de simulación del movimiento migratorio a partir de las actuales tendencias que permite contemplar, de una manera visual, las dinámicas internas de las migraciones europea…
El Árbol Y La Hoja Em Tres Cuentos: J.R.R. Tolkien, O. Henry Y María Luisa Bombal
Por muchos anos y siglos el árbol ha sido uno de los síbolos más empleados, figurando em la mitologia, la Biblia, en varios cultos y religiones, la filosofía, etc. También ha formado parte de la iconografía literaria. En tres cuentos, escogidos de entre muchas obras que se pondrían estudiar, el árbol y la hoja sirven de motivos y fuerzas principales en la renovación de la vida de tres seres humanos de regiones muy distintas. Em “Hoja por Niggle” …
The Naturalistic Novel of Brazil
The Contemporary Theatre in Rio de Janeiro and in Sao Paulo, 1953-55
During my most pleasant and profitable visit to Brazil last summer I found myself in the midst of the theatre season's activities (it was winter there).* My long-time interest in the stage led me to attend the performances being offered and I decided to prepare a short study on the Brazilian theatre, a genre almost completely unknown outside Brazil.' I became acquainted with theatrical companies, their repertories, casts, and techniques, had conv…
