El urbanismo participativo exige una gobernanza urbana democrática,
transparente y colaborativa, por lo que el rol desempeñado tradicionalmente
por la administración pública en el diseño de ciudad debería cambiar,
abriendo nuevos canales de participación para involucrar a la ciudadanía que revindica
visibilidad y protagonismo en las políticas públicas urbanas. El objetivo
de este trabajo es analizar cómo los gestores públicos deberían plantear un nuevo
enfoque en las políticas públicas en materia urbanística, con el fin de dar respuesta
al fortalecimiento de la participación ciudadana en este ámbito, siendo, entre
otras cuestiones, el uso de las tecnologías una herramienta necesaria para poder
alcanzar el éxito. En este escenario, son propuestas las cooperativas digitales,
como figuras jurídicas idóneas, para que los gestores públicos puedan interactuar
con la sociedad civil, debatir y consensuar políticas públicas urbanas, en el marco
de un verdadero urbanismo participativo y con los valores propios del cooperativismo.
Hirigintza parte-hartzaileak hiri-gobernantza demokratiko, garden
eta kolaboratibo bat eskatzen du, eta, beraz, administrazio publikoak hiriaren
diseinuan jokatu izan duen rola aldatu egin beharko litzateke. Hori horrela, parte
hartzeko bide berriak ireki beharko lirateke, herritarrek ikusgarritasuna eta protagonismoa
izan dezaten hiri-politika publikoetan. Lan honen helburua da aztertzea
nola kudeatzaile publikoek ikuspegi berri bat planteatu beharko luketen hirigintzaarloko
politika publikoetan, herritarrek eremu horretan gehiago parte hartu dezaten.
Gainera, teknologien erabilera arrakasta lortu ahal izateko beharrezko tresna
bat izango da. Egoera horretan, kooperatiba digitalak proposatzen dira, figura juridiko
egokiak baitira kudeatzaile publikoak eta gizarte zibila interakzioan ibili ahal
izateko, eta hiri-politika publikoak eztabaidatu eta adosteko, benetako hirigintza
parte-hartzailearen esparruan eta kooperatibismoaren berezko balioekin.
Participatory urbanism requires democratic and participatory
urban governance, so the role traditionally played by the administration in city
design should change, opening new channels of participation in order to involve
citizenship that demand visibility and a higher profile in urban public policies.
The aim of this paper is to analyze how public managers should carry out the
governance of collaborative urban planning, knowing which the technologies are
a necessary tool to achieve success. In this scenario, platform cooperatives, with
the values of cooperativism, are very useful for public managers, as they allow the
administration and society to interact, discuss and agree on urban policies, within
the framework of a true collaborative urbanism.

RESUMO A pandemia do novo coronavírus (Covid-19) é uma realidade no Brasil e no mundo com potencial para desencadear sintomas psicológicos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre saúde mental e pandemias. Foram cruzados os unitermos "saúde mental AND Covid-19 OR coronavírus OR pandemias AND intervenções em saúde mental OR psicotrópicos OR sintomatologia psiquiátrica OR psicopatologias OR fator de proteção em saúde mental" nas bases Scientific Electronic Library Online, Centro Latino-Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde e National Library of Medicine (PubMed), resultando em 1.642 artigos publicados em português, inglês e espanhol, no período de 2015 a 2020. Foram selecionados 43 artigos, de acordo com critérios de inclusão e exclusão, e todos foram publicados em 2020, referindo-se ao primeiro ano da pandemia de Covid-19. Sintomas depressivos e ansiosos, estresse e insônia foram frequentemente relatados e estiveram relacionados a ser profissional da saúde, adulto jovem, mulher; ter menor escolaridade e renda, histórico de doença crônica ou transtorno psiquiátrico e maior exposição nas mídias. Algumas intervenções psicológicas podem ser utilizadas para minimizar os impactos negativos da pandemia de Covid-19. Além disto, fatores de proteção podem ser explorados para reduzir os prejuízos na saúde mental dos indivíduos e das coletividades.

Las actividades desarrolladas por los sectores constructor e inmobiliario presentan una indudable relevancia en términos económicos y sociales, lo que ha tenido su reflejo en dos adaptaciones sectoriales del Plan General de Contabilidad, que regulan aquellos aspectos específicos y particulares de las empresas constructoras y promotoras inmobiliarias. El actual proceso de armonización contable europeo, con la adopción de las Normas Internacionales de Contabilidad del IASB plantea diversos interrogantes en cuanto a su incidencia en regulación contable española, y por ende en las referidas adaptaciones sectoriales, ocupándose este trabajo de analizar tales cuestiones. ; Economic and social significance of construction and property development industries is unquestionable. This importance has been recognized by the Spanish governmental standards setter, ICAC (Institute of Accounting and Auditing), which has issued two Adaptations of General Chart of Accounts to these industries in order to regulate the particular aspects and specific nature of their activities. The present accounting harmonisation process in European Union, with a strategy to adoption of International Accounting Standards from IASB, raises several questions regarding to impact in Spanish accounting regulation and, particularly, in the cited adaptations to construction and property development industries. The aim of this paper is to analyse that impact and repercussions to future accounting regulation for construction and property development sectors, two significant industries not just in Spain but in every developed country around the world.

The concept of ecosystem services has gained a strong political profile during the last 15 years. However, there is no specific EU policy devoted to governing ecosystem services. This article shows that the ecosystem services concept is already embedded in recent EU (environmentally-related) policies, such as the Biodiversity Strategy 2020 and the Invasive Alien Species Regulation. Our review of 12 policies shows that, overall, the coherence between existing policies and the ecosystem services concept is moderate. Policies showing very high coherence are confined to the policy arenas that address natural ecosystems, forestry, or agriculture. Given the sectoral nature of most EU policies and the limited options for revision in the near future, opportunities for improving coherence are most apparent in furthering the integration of the ecosystem services concept in the implementation of existing EU policies at national and regional levels.

This report provides a synthesis of argumentation analysis in real-world cases in "multi-level biodiversity governance", investigated within the BESAFE project. The following broad research questions guided the synthesis of argumentation analysis in the case studies: • Which (different types of) arguments can be identified at different levels and units of biodiversity governance? • How are these arguments exchanged and put to work in multi-level and networked interactions (i.e. within and across different levels and units of biodiversity governance)? • How are these arguments rooted in and how do they feed into different perspectives, worldviews and functioning of social groups or institutions at the different levels and units of biodiversity governance? The study's approach to answering these questions is guided by a three layer analytical framework. This framework comprises three different perspectives to argument-making practice. Together these enable a comprehensive understanding of the role of argumentation in multi-level biodiversity governance. The first layer takes the perspective that arguments are "products" of communication. The analysis focuses on the verbal content of arguments, i.e. what these arguments "say". By comparing argument contents between global, European, national, regional and local governance levels, it was revealed that at both global and regional level, social arguments were most dominant, while at the European level economic arguments were more prominent. Comparison between European and national governance levels revealed little differences. Comparison between types of actors showed some differences of emphasis. Whereas most actors use the argument that biodiversity should be protected because of its inherent value, regional authorities more often referred to social wellbeing and national authorities to legal obligation. The analysis also considered variety of arguments. In general, variety was very limited. Politicians used the smallest variety of arguments, while the largest variety was found in the science actors. Furthermore, variety depended on communication channels (e.g. internet forums showed much variety). Lastly, arguments do change over time. Arguments on ecosystem services, for instance, became prominent at both global and European levels, but they often do not reach or persist at local levels of governance. The second layer of the framework uses the perspective of arguments being transactions between arguers and audiences. The focus here is on what actors "do" D3.1 Final report synthesising the analysis of argumentation in multi-level governance interactions in case studies with arguments, that is, what they aim to achieve with the arguments and what strategies they use. Plenty of strategies were identified, such as particularisation (e.g. stressing the uniqueness of a natural area to increase policy attention), upscaling (e.g. situating a biodiversity problem at a higher level of space or time to make it more important), dichotomisation (e.g. polarising between two alternatives to exclude the possibility of an intermediate solution) and aligning arguments to the goals and interests of others to affect policy outcomes in a way that suits own interests. Finally, actors used various channels to transmit argument. Main examples were local politicians, NGOs and mass media. The third layer takes the perspective of arguments as being conditioned by the social-institutional networks in which they are transmitted. The analysis focuses on how the arguments and the reasoning they communicate "fit" into the different perspectives, worldviews and functioning of social groups and institutions. It was shown that argumentation was highly conditioned by law and regulations, institutional roles and established practices. International obligation, in particular, empowered member states to implement biodiversity policy and to finish disputes. But legislation (and uncertainty about it) also hampered conservation efforts. Furthermore, established criteria used in conservation practice (e.g. rarity, threat and species richness) supported justification of the need for implementing biodiversity conservation measures. Finally, what actors considered as their interests and what they valued as a legitimate policy process (democratic, science-based and sufficient societal support) conditioned the argumentation.

This paper provides an outline of a new interdisciplinary project called FixOurFood, funded through UKRI's 'Transforming UK food systems' programme. FixOurFood aims to transform the Yorkshire food system to a regenerative food system and will work to answer two main questions: (1) What do regenerative food systems look like? (2) How can transformations be enabled so that we can achieve a regenerative food system? To answer these questions, FixOurFood will work with diverse stakeholders to change the Yorkshire food system and use the learning to inform change efforts in other parts of the UK and beyond. Our work will focus on shifting trajectories towards regenerative dynamics in three inter-related systems of: healthy eating for young children, hybrid food economies and regenerative farming. We do this by a set of action-orientated interventions in schools and the food economy, metrics, policies and deliverables that can be applied in Yorkshire and across the UK. This article introduces the FixOurFood project and concludes by assessing the potential impact of these interventions and the importance we attach to working with stakeholders in government, business, third sector and civil society. ; Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.

Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however, also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against the level of progress being made in stimulating the societal changes needed to address challenges like climate change. In this research we used a novel futures-oriented and participatory approach that asked what future envisioned knowledge systems might need to look like and how we might get there. Findings suggest that envisioned future systems will need to be much more collaborative, open, diverse, egalitarian, and able to work with values and systemic issues. They will also need to go beyond producing knowledge about our world to generating wisdom about how to act within it. To get to envisioned systems we will need to rapidly scale methodological innovations, connect innovators, and creatively accelerate learning about working with intractable challenges. We will also need to create new funding schemes, a global knowledge commons, and challenge deeply held assumptions. To genuinely be a creative force in supporting longevity of human and non-human life on our planet, the shift in knowledge systems will probably need to be at the scale of the enlightenment and speed of the scientific and technological revolution accompanying the second World War. This will require bold and strategic action from governments, scientists, civic society and sustained transformational intent.
