Purpose. A research is presented which explores the factors influencing the willingness to benefit from Temporary Leave (TL), a life-course policy consisting of the entitlement to temporary paid leaves from work in exchange for delayed retirement. Design/Methodology/Approach. Such factors are probed by means of a multivariate analysis (binary logistic regression) of the results of a survey conducted amongst the occupied workforce of a Spanish town. The analysis is framed in an age-gender perspective. Findings. The noteworthy favourable predisposition towards TL emerging from the survey, mainly for the purposes of caring for children and parents, studying and preparing for a new job, appears mostly influenced by the level of studies and by the fact of having or not children, without clear sex variations. Research limitations, practical and social implications, and originality/value. Notwithstanding the local scope of the survey, its results might orientate future research on TL, an emerging policy issue crosscutting several widely recognised social-policy targets within the European Union, such as the extension of working life, lifelong learning and gender equality throughout the life course.

Este proyecto traza los discursos globales punitivos dentro de la legislación española sobre violencia de género, con un enfoque particular en la dialéctica entre la ley y los movimientos políticos feministas. Examina el surgimiento del feminismo institucional en España y como su adhesión a la gobernanza social neoliberal culminó en una legislación de violencia de género muy punitiva. El proyecto compara las lógicas carcelarias y tácticas incorporadas en la Ley Orgánica de Medidas de Protección Integral contra la Violencia de Género (BOE n 313, 29 de diciembre 2004; a partir de ahora: la ley 1/2004) y el Anteproyecto de Ley Orgánica de Garantía Integral de la Libertad Sexual (2020 de octubre, la ley Sí es Sí), propuesto recientemente. La ley 1/2004 y la ley Sí es Sí no se ilustran todas las contestaciones feministas sobre las tácticas punitivas en las últimas dos décadas, pero sirven como casos de estudio productivos dado que son textos legislativos que establecen guías para prevenir, acceder e intervenir en la violencia de género y también expanden el Código Penal. Usando una metodología híbrida de análisis crítico de discurso legal y feminista con una aproximación genealógica, este proyecto resalta las diferencias y similitudes entre los discursos carcelarios globalizantes en las leyes. Cuenta con las resistencias feministas anti-carcelarias en la forma de artefactos activistas para complicar el reclamo normativo que el castigo es la manera más "justa" y efectiva para resolver la violencia de género. Criminólogxs feministas transnacionales, investigadorxs queer y trans y feministas de color contextualizan como estructuras de poder racializadas y de género, viajan e influyen los discursos legales y estrategias políticas de violencia de género. Este proyecto contribuye a otras maneras de reconciliar la violencia de género que mantienen segurxs a lxs sobrevivientes y sus comunidades sin perpetuar violencias contra cuerpxs queer, trans y racializadxs. ; This project traces global punitive discourses in Spanish gender violence legislation by focusing particularly on the dialectic between the law and feminist political mobilizations. It examines the rise of institutional feminism in Spain and how its embrace of neoliberal social governance culminated in very punitively focused gender violence legislation. The project compares the carceral logics and tactics embedded in the Organic Law 1/2004 for Comprehensive Measures Against Gender Violence (BOE n 313, December 29, 2004; hereafter: Law 1/2004) and the more recently proposed Organic Law for the Comprehensive Guarantee of Sexual Freedom (hereafter: The "Yes Means Yes" Law). Law 1/2004 and The Yes Means Yes Law do not illustrate all the feminist contestations around punitive tactics in the last two decades, yet they act as productive case studies given that each are cornerstone pieces of legislation that set national guidelines for preventing, accessing and intervening in gender violence and happened to dramatically expand the penal code. Using a mixed-modal methodology of legal, feminist critical discourse analysis (CDA) with a genealogical approach, this project locates the converging and diverging globalizing carceral discourses in the laws. It features anti-carceral feminist resistances, in the form of organizing artefacts, to trouble the commonsensical claim that punishment is the most "just" and effective way to resolve gender violence. Transnational feminist criminologists, queer/trans scholars, and feminists of color further contextualize how globalizing carceral logics and carceral feminisms, embedded in gendered and racialized structures of power, travel and influence legal discourses and gender violence political strategies. This project contributes to other ways of reconciling gender violence that keep survivors and their communities safer and do not perpetuate violence against queer/trans and racialized bodies. ; MÁSTER ERASMUS MUNDUS GEMMA.

This article studies the contribution of exploitative and explorative innovation to the perceptions of economic and social value of local authorities in charge of sustainability-related innovation. The model proposed is tested capturing the perceptions of 656 local authorities. The research findings contribute evidence of complex linkages between innovation forms (i.e. exploitative and explorative) and facets of perceived value. Overall, the link between the perceptions of both forms of innovation and economic value fits March's (1991) view. A positive effect of both exploitative and explorative innovation on economic value is found, coupled with a negative interaction effect. The influence of exploitative innovation is stronger than that of explorative innovation. However, this is only part of the story. We also consider the link between exploitative/explorative innovation and one additional facet of value: social value (in the form of network identification). The roles of both predictors are virtually opposite: identification is mostly explained by explorative innovation, rather than exploitative innovation. The social value dimension considered in this research adds an explanation as to why public organisations may focus on exploration or combine both exploitation and exploration. Points for practitioners • Public managers may focus on exploitative innovation (when economic value considerations are dominant) and on explorative innovation (when social value thinking prevails), or combine both activities. • Network promoters should not assume that public managers favour exploitative innovation over explorative innovation.

32 Pag., 7 Fig. ; The hydrological and geomorphic effects of land use/land cover changes, particularly those associated with vegetation regrowth after farmland abandonment were investigated in the Central Spanish Pyrenees. The main focus was to assess the interactions among slope, catchment, basin, and fluvial channel processes over a range of spatial scales. In recent centuries most Mediterranean mountain areas have been subjected to significant human pressure through deforestation, cultivation of steep slopes, fires, and overgrazing. Depopulation commencing at the beginning of the 20th century, and particularly since the 1960s, has resulted in farmland abandonment and a reduction in livestock numbers, and this has led to an expansion of shrubs and forests. Studies in the Central Spanish Pyrenees, based on experimental plots and catchments, in large basins and fluvial channels, have confirmed that these land use changes have had hydrological and geomorphic consequences regardless of the spatial scale considered, and that processes occurring at any particular scale can be explained by such processes acting on other scales. Studies using experimental plots have demonstrated that during the period of greatest human pressure (mainly the 18th and 19th centuries), cultivation of steep slopes caused high runoff rates and extreme soil loss. Large parts of the small catchments behaved as runoff and sediment source areas, whereas the fluvial channels of large basins showed signs of high torrentiality (braided morphology, bare sedimentary bars, instability, and prevalence of bedload transport). Depopulation has concentrated most human pressure on the valley bottoms and specific locations such as resorts, whereas the remainder of the area has been affected by an almost generalized abandonment. Subsequent plant recolonization has resulted in a reduction of overland flow and declining soil erosion. At a catchment scale this has caused a reduction in sediment sources, and channel incision in the secondary streams. At the regional scale, the most important consequences include a reduction in the frequency of floods, reduced sediment yields, increasing stabilization of fluvial channels (colonization of sedimentary bars by riparian vegetation and a reduction in the braiding index), and stabilization of alluvial fans. These results demonstrate the complexity and multiscalar nature of the interactions among land use and runoff generation, soil erosion, sediment transport, and fluvial channel dynamics, and highlight the need to adopt a multiscale approach in other mountain areas of the world. ; Support for this research was provided by the projects PROBASE (CGL2006-11619/HID, Consolider) financed by the Spanish Commission of Science and Technology; ACQWA (FP7-ENV-2007-1), financed by the European Commission; and PI032/08, financed by the Aragón Regional Government.

To access the final edited and published work see http://doi.org/10.1021/acs.inorgchem.8b00778 ; [EN] alpha(R)-In2Se3 has been experimentally and theoretically studied under compression at room temperature by means of X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements as well as by ab initio total-energy and lattice-dynamics calculations. Our study has confirmed the alpha (R3m) -> beta' (C2/m) ? beta (R (3) over barm) sequence of pressure-induced phase transitions and has allowed us to understand the mechanism of the monoclinic C2/m to rhombohedral R (3) over barm phase transition. The monoclinic C2/m phase enhances its symmetry gradually until a complete transformation to the rhombohedral R (3) over barm structure is attained above 10-12 GPa. The second-order character of this transition is the reason for the discordance in previous measurements. The comparison of Raman measurements and lattice-dynamics calculations has allowed us to tentatively assign most of the Raman-active modes of the three phases. The comparison of experimental results and simulations has helped to distinguish between the different phases of In2Se3 and resolve current controversies. ; The authors acknowledge financial support from Spanish government MINECO, the Spanish Agencia Estatal de Investigacion (AEI), and Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER) under Grants No. MAT2016-75586-C4-1/2/3-P and MAT2015-71070-REDC. ; Vilaplana Cerda, RI.; Gallego-Parra, S.; Jorge-Montero, A.; Rodríguez-Hernández, P.; Muñoz, A.; Errandonea, D.; Segura, A.
