EU tourism funding
European Union funding has long been a key driver of regional and tourism development, shaping destination trajectories and investment priorities. The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), introduced under Next Generation EU, represents a new model of performance-based public investment, linking financial disbursement to predefined milestones and targets. This paper examines the implementation of Tourism Destination Sustainability Plans in Spai…

Spatial distribution and challenges in European Union funding
Policy proposals to promote inclusion of caregivers in the research funding system
Research funding is critical for scientific production and career advancement in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM). The COVID-19 pandemic has unmasked a deeply flawed research funding system riddled by inequitable policies, biased evaluations, and a lack of transparency and accountability. While most scientists were affected by the pandemic to some extent, evidence shows that women with caregiving responsibilitie…
Air pollution exposure and its effects on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Introduction Major urban pollutants have a considerable influence on the natural history of lung disease. However, this effect is not well known in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Aim This study aimed to investigate the effects of air pollution on clinical worsening, lung function, and radiological deterioration in patients with IPF. Methods This exploratory retrospective cohort study included 69 patients with IPF, monitored from 2011 to 202…
“A las riberas de mis ojos”
This article reflects on recent work (predominantly on Anglophone and Francophone contexts) that blends Relevance Theory with an embodied account of language that is particularly sensitive to the kinesic features of the poetic text. Early-modern Spanish poetry is generally sidelined from these discussions. Representative poems by the Conde de Salinas and Gabriel Bocángel will be taken, therefore, as a testing ground in which to explore how insigh…
Relationship between air pollution exposure and the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in Madrid
Introduction Air pollution has a significant impact on the morbidity and mortality of various respiratory diseases. However, this has not been widely studied in diffuse interstitial lung diseases, specifically in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Objective In this study we aimed to assess the relationship between four major air pollutants individually [carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), ozone (O 3 ), and nitrogen oxides (NO x )] and the…
Generation Y and Brand Love
Given the lack of research into the link between the individual cultural values of the millennial generation mediated by religious commitment (RC) and brand love (BL), this research intends to the following: (a) identify the individual cultural values of the millennial generation and (b) explain how these values influence BL when mediated by RC. A quantitative methodology with structural equation modelling is used. Data were collected from member…
Trevor J. Dadson (1947–2020)
For Trevor J. Dadson, the renowned philologist and historian, “ser hispanista” was the driving and defining force of his existence. When prompted to reflect on his career in an interview carried out in Madrid in 2018, he communicated the passion that had shaped his engagement with Spanish culture, and marked out the trajectory of his life:These words, never intended to serve as an epitaph, seem now to have acquired a special weight in Trevor’s st…

Poetry ‘Bodied Forth’ in Time
In 1981 Andrés Amorós welcomed modern criticism’s re-evaluation of Cervantes’ poetry as indicative of a new attitude that recognized Cervantine irony in the writer’s assessment of his own poetic performance. This article will suggest that having belatedly identified the ironic weight of Cervantes’ poetic self-fashioning, we must now attempt to understand it. Cervantes’ final poetic journey, the Viaje del Parnaso (1614), a parodic policing of the …

Metaphor and Matter(s) Arising
This article focuses on the concept of metaphor as metaphorai, as varied means of transfer and transport, specifically on Góngora's innovative development of the metaphor as a vehicle for experiential transformation and epistemological exploration; ultimately emphasizing a hitherto neglected valorization of affect in the liberation of the imagination. Although Góngora's use of metaphor became a major source of controversy in the debate unleashed …
Pues tanto se esconde’
El conde Partinuplés (first published 1653) is one of only two extant plays written by the Sevillan poet/dramatist Ana Caro Mallén de Soto (‘la décima musa sevillana’). Despite McKendrick's dismissal of the play as ‘extremely bad’, it has been the object of substantial critical scrutiny since the 1970s, impelled in great part by the production of modern editions (Luna and Delgado) and by Kaminsky's bio-biographical study (1973). Two responses hav…
Broaching the Void
Góngora's indeterminate poetics fuelled a controversy of extravagant antithetical positions. This article argues that (a) we do the original participants, and Góngora's poetry, little justice, if we fail to take account of the epistemic and politico-ideological factors which informed these interferential acts of reading and writing; (b) the diachronic imperatives of Góngora's poetics, its strategies of aemulatio, gain sense only when perceived in…

Consensus on context-specific strategies for reducing the stigma of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in Zambézia Province, Mozambique
Stigma has been implicated in poor outcomes of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) care. Reducing stigma is important for HIV prevention and long-term treatment success. Although stigma reduction interventions are conducted in Mozambique, little is known about the current nature of stigma and the efficacy and effectiveness of stigma reduction initiatives. We describe action research to generate consensus o…
Initiation to Methamphetamine Use in a Binational Sample of Women at the US–Mexico Border
This article examines comparative risk behaviors associated with methamphetamine use in a binational sample of women in the border cities of Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego, California. Specifically, the study examined the differences and similarities in drug use and sexual risk behavior and the patterns of initiation to methamphetamine use. The binational pilot sample consisted of 70 adult women in Tijuana and 55 women in San Diego. Although ther…
Interloping Lope
Entering the world of Lope de Vega's lyric poetry is akin to stepping out into space. The gravitational force generated by the poetry's persistent autobiographical underpinnings never fully resists
Neo-Parkerism
‘One may differ with him, but one cannot ignore him’. This was the conclusion reached by James Parr in his 1985 review of the Festschrift for Alexander Parker;1 the same year in which Parker's The

Assessing physical activity among minority women
A Su Salud
Although it is important to address the cultural needs of all Mexican American women, it is also important to understand the tangible environmental barriers faced by the older women
Pues no entiendo tus palabras, / y tus bofetones siento
Pues no entiendo tus palabras, / y tus bofetones siento
In recent years substantial critical attention has been devoted to an exploration of the darker voices at work in Lope de Vega's drama. Within this reassessment of Lope's work, the subversive role of language has been highlighted, most significantly from the perspective of speech act theory. This study of Lope's play El perro del hortelano, operating within a similar theoretical perspective, analyses the way in which the constantly shifting rheto…
