Con ocasión de las ventajas que ofrecen las tecnologías de la sociedad de la información y las redes sociales han proliferado conductas ilícitas centradas, principalmente, en delitos patrimoniales. Las conductas más habituales son aquellas destinadas a la compraventa de productos de segunda mano, las que exponen un modo de vida constituyéndose en influencers, o los delitos relativos a la publicidad engañosa, entre otros, aunque el abanico delictual es mucho más amplio. El estudio desvela que, en cualquier caso, no se trata de estafas informáticas propiamente dichas; el número de perjudicados es muy numeroso, existiendo, además, importantes dificultades en su investigación, por no mencionar la concurrencia de problemas concursales en no pocos casos.

[EN] The rural development policy applied by the European Union during the 2007-2013 pro-gramming period represented an important turning point, as it incorporated a transversal methodological approach reflected in Axis 4. LEADER, which transfers the accumulated experience from 1991 by the LEADER Initiative to the rural development programming. Among other aspects, local actors embedded in the territory are entrusted with the design and implementation of the rural development strategy. These local actors are formally organized in Local Action Groups (LAGs). The aim of this paper is to determine to which extent the 264 LAGs have assumed the philosophy of this rural development approach. To accomplish this objective, we apply amultivariate technique, the Cluster Analysis. This allows for the identification of significant differences between LAGs and their classification in homogeneous clusters. ; [ES] La política de desarrollo rural llevada a cabo por la Unión Europea en el periodo de programación 2007-2013 representó un importante punto de inflexión al incorporar una concepción metodológica transversal reflejada en el Eje 4.

This is the first interdisciplinary collection of articles addressing the unique history of Chicana women. From a diverse range of perspectives, a new generation of Chicana scholars here chronicles the previously undocumented rich tapestry of Chicanas' lives over the last three centuries. Focusing on how women have grappled with political subordination and sexual exploitation, the contributors confront the complex intersection of class, race, ethnicity, and gender that defines the Chicana experience in America.The book analyzes the ways that oppressive power relations and resistance to domination have shaped Chicana history, exploring subjects as diverse as sexual violence against Amerindian women during the Spanish conquest of California to contemporary Chicanas' efforts to construct feminist cultural discourses.The volume ends with a provocative dialogue among the contributors about the challenges, frustrations, and obstacles that face Chicana scholars, and the voices heard here testify to the vibrant state of Chicano scholarship.Trenchant and wide-ranging, this collection is essential reading for understanding the dynamics of feminism and multiculturalism

The rates of young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) in the Mediterranean European Economic Area (MED EEA) are high. Hence, the European Union and national governments have developed and implemented different policies aimed to tackle the NEET situation. In this article, we try to identify and understand the most relevant barriers that keep vulnerable people as NEETs. We focused on youth as being at the highest risk of becoming NEETs: migrant women aged 25–29. By using semi-structured interviews and focus groups with key stakeholders and NEETs in the Spanish region of Murcia, we collected their views on and experiences with different programs and strategies. We conclude that this group is exposed to additional barriers due to the intersectionality of their characteristics. There are structural and contextual aspects, such as motherhood, a lack of social networks, or not knowing the language, which NEET policies do not address. We highlight the need of (i) improving the adaptiveness of relevant policies by being tailored to specific problems NEETs face, (ii) expanding the focus of NEET policies, and (iii) including the regional perspective in NEET policy design. In our comprehensive approach, we stress that the NEET policy alone cannot solve the NEET problem.

New immersive technologies (NITs) can be an ally or a rival when it comes to brand relationships. Given the multiplicity of options, marketers need to understand their customers also as audiences seeking experiences. However, such experiences need to exist within a company's digital ecosystem. This study presents an analysis of six companies that have used NITs to varying degrees. We propose a framework in which more cases of NIT usage in companies can be studied. We conclude that the more the initiatives come from a company's top-management overall ecosystem transformation, the more likely NIT adoption will fit into a general strategy for a brand-strengthening process and the more it will be effective. This exploratory analysis opens up a path for building new frameworks to measure a company's degree of involvement with and usage of interactive technologies.

Las políticas de desarrollo rural llevadas a cabo por la Unión Europea han evolucionado en paralelo a los cambios en el medio rural producidos durante las últimas décadas. La principal innovación en el anterior periodo de programación 2007-2013 fue incorporar una nueva metodología transversal fundamentada en el eje LEADER o eje 4. Para fomentar la interacción entre los diferentes agentes económicos y los sectores público y privado, el diseño y puesta en marcha de la estrategia de desarrollo rural se pone en mano de colectivos agrarios y rurales presentes en las diferentes comarcas, es decir, de actores locales, denominados Grupos de Acción Local (GAL) o Grupos de Desarrollo Rural. Los 264 Grupos encargados de gestionar los procesos de desarrollo rural en España, aunque integrados bajo el mismo sistema normativo, presentan pocos elementos comunes. Por el contrario, muestran enormes diferencias tanto en sus características internas como en las de los territorios sobre las que han actuado durante el citado periodo. El objetivo de esta comunicación es determinar si las características internas de cada GAL están relacionadas con la eficacia de su actuación, es decir, con el desarrollo de los municipios rurales, especialmente, de aquellos que precisan ser revitalizados de manera prioritaria. El contraste se realiza mediante el análisis estadístico de tablas de contingencia obtenidas de la categorización de las variables indicativas de la revitalización territorial (evolución demográfica, mercado laboral y creación de empresas) y de las representativas de las características de los GAL (dimensión, concentración de la población y composición de sus órganos de participación y gobierno). ; Rural development policies applied by the European Union have evolved in parallel with changes in rural areas over the last few decades. The main innovation in 2007-2013 programming period was the inclusion of a new crossmethodological axis, the Axis LEADER or axis 4. In order to ensure a greater interaction between different economic ...

Pyroelectrics are a material class that undergoes a change in polarization as the temperature of the system is varied. This effect can be utilized for applications ranging from thermal imaging and sensing to waste-heat energy conversion to thermally driven electron emission. Here, we review recent advances in the study and utilization of thin-film pyroelectrics. Leveraging advances in modeling, synthesis, and characterization has provided a pathway forward in one of the more poorly developed subfields of ferroelectricity. We introduce the complex physical phenomena of pyroelectricity, briefly explore the history of work in this space, and highlight not only new advances in the direct measurement of such effects but also how our ability to control thin-film materials is changing our understanding of this response. Finally, we discuss recent advances in thin-film pyroelectric devices and introduce a number of potentially new directions the field may follow in the coming years. ; Over the years, our team received support from numerous sources for the development of these techniques and scientific studies, including the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (Grant No. AF FA 9550-11-1-0073), the Army Research Office (Grant Nos. W911NF-10-1-0482 and W911NF-14-1-0104), the Office of Naval Research (Grant No. N00014-10-1-0525), the National Science Foundation (Grant Nos. DMR-1149062, DMR-1451219, and DMR-1708615), the European Union's Horizon 2020 (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Grant No. 797123), and the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences [Grant Nos. DEFG02-07ER46459 and DE-AC02-05-CH11231 (Materials Project Program No. KC23MP)].
