Abstract:
A performance assessment of two different indices (the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI)) for monitoring short-term and short–medium-term drought impacts on daily specific-cause mortality in Spain was conducted. To achieve a comprehensive, nationwide view, a meta-analysis was performed using a combination of provincial relative risks (RRs). Moreover, the subdivisions of Spain based on administrative, climatic, and demographic criteria to obtain the measures of combined risks were also taken into account. The results of the SPEI and SPI calculated at the same timescale were similar. Both showed that longer drought events produced greater RR values, for respiratory mortality. However, at the local administrative level, Galicia, Castilla-y-Leon, and Extremadura showed the greatest risk of daily mortality associated with drought episodes, with Andalucía, País Vasco, and other communities being notably impacted. Based on climatic regionalization, Northwest, Central, and Southern Spain were the regions most affected by different drought conditions for all analyzed causes of daily mortality, while the Mediterranean coastal region was less affected. Demographically, the regions with the highest proportion of people aged 65 years of age and over reflected the greatest risk of daily natural, circulatory, and respiratory mortality associated with drought episodes.

Abstract:
In the town of Oñati (Basque Country, Spain) we find the community project of Eltzia: a public initiative aimed at enriching local cultural life through the articulation of its creative people. Eltzia is enlightening for having a model of organisation that can be related to the Basque Country’s cooperative movement, but also for showing the benefits of popular participation in culture policymaking. This research explores Eltzia as an example of democratization of cultural policy through the involvement of citizens; an expression of cultural rights that engages with how law is interpreted. Eltzia emerged from a municipal initiative and its creation was influenced by the participation of the local groups and a private company providing mediation services in social processes of community development. The analysis will focus on the contributions that are drawn from Eltzia in relation to the fields of cultural policy and socio-legal studies. El proyecto comunitario de Eltzia se desarrolla en Oñati (País Vasco, España): se trata de una iniciativa pública que tiene por objetivo enriquecer la vida cultural local a partir de la articulación de las personas con intereses creativos. Eltzia es ilustrador de un modelo de organización que se puede relacionar con el movimiento de cooperativas del País Vasco, pero que también muestra los beneficios de la participación popular en los procesos de diseño de política pública. Esta investigación explora Eltzia como un ejemplo de la democratización de la política cultural a través de la participación ciudadana; una expresión de derechos culturales que atiende a los procesos de interpretación del derecho. Eltzia surge de una iniciativa municipal y su creación fue influenciada por la participación de grupos locales y una compañía privada dedicada a los servicios de mediación en procesos sociales de desarrollo comunitario. El análisis se enfocará en las contribuciones que se derivan de Eltzia en relación con los campos de la política cultural y los estudios socio-jurídicos.

Resumen: El objetivo de esta investigación es visibilizar la relevancia del deporte para el desarrollo social y económico de las zonas rurales, y se centra en un escenario concreto, el espacio rural vasco, que actúa como soporte de unas actividades deportivas cada vez más amplias y diversas.Para ello, se analizan los expedientes de los proyectos vinculados al deporte en las dos últimas programaciones de desarrollo rural (2000-2014), junto a otra información de interés. Los principales resultados reflejan el papel difuso del deporte dentro de la política de desarrollo rural del País Vasco, a pesar del impacto económico y social de los proyectos deportivos en estas zonas. Las conclusiones reflejan la necesidad de incorporar el deporte como un vector más del desarrollo rural especialmente en aquellos territorios que cuentan con condiciones idóneas para su práctica.Abstract:The aim of this study is to bring to light the relevance of sport for the social and economic development of rural areas, and it focuses on a specific zone, the Basque rural space, which acts as a support of a more wide-ranging and profuse sports activities. For that purpose, there are analyzed the project files linked to sports along the last two rural development programs in the Basque Country (2000-2014) together with other relevant qualitative information. Main findings evidence the diffuse role of sport at the Basque rural development policy despite the progressive social and economic impact of sport projects on these areas. The conclusions reflect the need to include sport as a vector for rural development, particularly on those territories that ensure optimal conditions for sport practice.

Abstract:
El Contact Improvisation es una danza posmoderna de origen estadounidense (1972) con una lenta evolución en España: se inicia en los años 80 en un núcleo catalán y balear y se encuentra aún en periodo de crecimiento. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la expansión geográfica de esta danza en los años 90 así como su evolución en el periodo seleccionado. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo donde se combina el análisis de contenido con las comunicaciones personales mediante correspondencia y entrevistas. Los resultados indican que el Contact Improvisation se extiende desde finales de los 80 hacia regiones como Madrid, Andalucía y País Vasco. Se constata como durante su desarrollo se amplía su concepción desde la investigación coreográfica hacia una experiencia aplicable a otros ámbitos artísticos así como educativos y/o terapéuticos. Se da el paso de una danza escénica a una danza social multidireccional.Abstract. Contact Improvisation is a postmodern dance form originating in the USA (1972) which slowly spread and evolved in Spain: it started in the eighties in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands and continues to be in a growth phase. The aim of this paper is to analyse the geographic expansion of this dance in the 90’s and track its evolution during this period. This is a qualitative study combining the analysis of content with personal interviews and mails. The results indicate that from the late 80’s Contact Improvisation extends to regions like Madrid, Andalusia and the Basque Country. During its development it changes from being a choreographic investigation to an experiential one applicable to other areas such as education and/or therapy. It takes a step away from being a stage dance and moves toward a social multidirectional dance.

Abstract:
ResumenEste artículo toma el modelo de cinturón verde en Vitoria-Gasteiz (País Vasco, España) como un caso de estudio referente en planificación socio-ecológica. Más conocido como Anillo Verde, se analiza aquí con el objeto de contribuir a la revisión crítica de esta figura de planificación e informar su reinvención actual. El artículo presenta una síntesis de los trabajos de análisis y caracterización realizados a partir de la documentación vectorial y cartográfica generada en los primeros veinticinco años de este caso de estudio (1993-2018). Las distintas lecturas que se superponen en su evolución e implementación en el borde urbano, proporcionan los siguientes resultados: (i) muestran aspectos clave tanto en términos de proceso y estrategia, como de diseño y gestión; (ii) plantean la necesidad de una nueva mirada al proceso de planificación como un ensamblaje socio-ecológico complejo que trasciende la rigidez del planeamiento urbano convencional, y (iii) evidencian la necesidad de nuevos planteamientos, mecanismos y figuras que permitan avanzar hacia una integración sistémica entre ciudad y naturaleza.AbstractThis paper uses the green belt model in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country, Spain) as reference case study in socio-ecological planning. The analyses of this better known as “Anillo Verde”, aims to contribute to the critical review of this planning policy and to inform its reinvention. This paper presents a synthesis of the characterization and analysis based on the vector and cartographic documentation generated over the first twenty-five years of this case study (1993-2018). The various methods that overlap in its evolution and implementation on the urban boundary, deliver the following results: (i) They show key lessons in terms of process and strategy, and in terms of design and management; (ii) they uncover the need for a new approach towards the planning process, as a complex social-ecological assemblage that transcends the rigidity of conventional urban planning, and (iii) they demonstrate the need for new mechanisms and policies that allow progress towards a systemic integration between city and nature.

Abstract:
Condiciones histórico-estructurales vinculadas al colonialismo, la pervivencia de estructuras de poder heredadas del franquismo y los actuales procesos de globalización del capital son algunos de los factores que explican que Guinea Ecuatorial continúe siendo un país expulsor de refugiados y migrantes desde su independencia en 1968. Y que España, como antigua metrópoli colonial, sea el país receptor de gran parte de su diáspora. El origen y el desarrollo de ésta no hace más que incidir en la asociación que en los estudios migratorios y transnacionales se ha establecido entre condiciones estructurales tanto en países expulsores como receptores con los modos de incorporación de refugiados y migrantes en los lugares de asentamiento, con el desarrollo de redes sociales y de relaciones transnacionales poscoloniales. A partir de investigaciones etnográficas llevadas a cabo con migrantes y refugiados ecuatoguineanos asentados en la región metropolitana de la Comunidad de Madrid, este artículo describe y analiza cómo estos factores afectan sus modos de incorporación y adaptación a esta región metropolitana, así como el mantenimiento de relaciones sociales y culturales con sus sociedades de origen.Historic structural conditions from colonialism, power political structures coming from franquismo, and current processes of capital globalization are factors explaining that Equatorial Guinea has become a postcolonial country expelling refugees and migrants to is former colonial metropole (Spain) since its independence in 1968. This migratory movement is an example in which we can observe how postcolonial structural conditions linking sending and receiving countries and social networks affect current refugees and migrants’ dynamics as well as the development of postcolonial transnational relationships. Based on ethnographic research done with refugees and migrants from Equatorial Guinea settled in the Madrid metropolitan region, this article describes and analyzes how these factors affect their modes of incorporation and adaptation to this host metropolitan area while maintaining social and cultural relationships with their home societies.

Abstract:
Resumen: Este artículo analiza la presencia de la población extranjera en las zonas rurales vascas con el objetivo de conocer su perfil sociodemográfico y laboral, y valorar la sostenibilidad de su proyecto migratorio, que resulta oscilante según el ciclo económico. Para ello, el estudio examina los principales rasgos de este colectivo e incorpora algunas comparativas con el colectivo de extranjeros residente en las zonas urbanas vascas con el propósito de conocer si existen rasgos diferenciales. Con esta misma finalidad se contrasta la situación laboral de la población rural extranjera, y el rural total. La aproximación metodológica que se utiliza recurre a la explotación estadística confeccionada ad-hoc para este trabajo. Los resultados muestran que la población extrajera presenta un gran potencial para el frenar el despoblamiento y rejuvenecer las zonas rurales en declive. Se trata de un colectivo joven, equilibrado según el género, y con una elevada presencia de la generación soporte. Sin embargo, el análisis también refleja un mercado de trabajo segmentado según el origen de la población que es, además, desigual en cuanto a las condiciones laborales y las actividades que ocupan los trabajadores extranjeros. Una situación que puede desequilibrar la sostenibilidad de su estancia a largo plazo Palabras clave: Población extranjera, medio rural, migración laboral, País Vasco. Abstract: This paper analyses the presence of international migrant population in the Basque rural areas for the last two decades with the aim of understand their sociodemographic and labour profile, and estimate the sustainability of their migration project which might fluctuate depending on the economic cycle. For that, the research studies the main characteristics of this group and adds some comparisons with the international migrants living in Basque urban areas with the purpose of knowing if there are distinguishing features. Having in mind the same purpose, the labour situation of rural international migrant population is compared with the rural overall ones. The methodological approach focuses on a statistical analysis that has been elaborated ad hoc for this research. The results show that international migrant population presents a huge potential for reversing depopulation and revitalizing the most declining rural areas. They became a group with a significant presence of support generation, being young and gender balanced. However, the analysis also reflects a segmented labour market depending on the origin of population which is, besides, unequal in labour conditions and regarding the working activities foreign population occupy. A situation that might unbalances the sustainability of a longer term stay. Key words: International migration, rural areas, labour migration, Basque Country

Abstract:
Being a person with functional diversity can´t be an ideal for not playing sport, although their motivations will differ from those without disabilities. Adapting the different formats to the conditions of its practitioners has made wheelchair basketball today the most practiced. Different studies show that it promotes a person´s independence and covey’s great values such as overcoming, being also a great agent of social integration and rehabilitator (Moreno, 2019). In view of this premise, the purpose of this article is to know the reasons why 30 players belonging to the federations of Andalusia, Aragon, the Basque Country and Catalonia have to start in this sport, as well as the benefits that it brings to them. The study was conducted under a non-experimental and descriptive empirical research design, based on survey techniques, the questionnaire being the strategy used to gather information. The results show recreational and social motivations when deciding to practice this sport, finding benefits linked to the improvement of its physical condition, the overcoming of barriers, psychological and emotional stability, mutual support and the generation of new social relations, aspects that significantly improve your quality of life. Ser una persona con diversidad funcional no puede ser óbice para no practicar deporte, aunque sus motivaciones diferirán de aquellas que no tengan discapacidad. La adaptación de los diferentes formatos a las condiciones de sus practicantes ha hecho que el baloncesto en silla de ruedas sea hoy de los más populares. Diferentes estudios evidencian que promociona la independencia de la persona y transmite grandes valores como la superación, siendo además un gran agente de integración social y rehabilitador (Moreno, 2019). Ante esta premisa, el propósito de este artículo es conocer los motivos por lo que 30 jugadores y jugadoras pertenecientes a las federaciones de Andalucía, Aragón, País Vasco y Cataluña tienen para iniciarse en este deporte, así como los beneficios que les reporta. El estudio se realizó al amparo de un diseño de investigación empírica no experimental y descriptivo, basado en técnicas de encuesta, siendo el cuestionario la estrategia empleada para recoger información. Los resultados muestran motivaciones recreativas y sociales a la hora de decidirse por practicar este deporte, encontrando beneficios ligados a la mejora de su condición física, a la superación de barreras, a la estabilidad psicológica y emocional, al apoyo mutuo y a la generación de nuevas relaciones sociales, aspectos que mejoran de un modo significativo su calidad de vida. Ser uma pessoa com diversidade funcional não pode ser um obstáculo para não praticar esportes, embora suas motivações sejam diferentes daquelas que não possuem deficiência. A adaptação dos diferentes formatos às condições dos seus praticantes fez do basquete em cadeira de rodas um dos mais populares populares da atualidade. Diferentes estudos mostram que promove a independência da pessoa e transmite grandes valores como o auto-aperfeiçoamento, sendo também um grande agente de integração social e reabilitação (Moreno, 2019). Tendo em conta esta premissa, o objectivo deste artigo é conhecer as razões pelas quais 30 jogadores pertencentes às federações da Andaluzia, Aragão, País Basco e Catalunha têm para se iniciar neste desporto, bem como os benefícios que lhes traz. O estudo foi realizado sob um delineamento de pesquisa empírica não experimental e descritiva, baseada em técnicas de inquérito, sendo o questionário a estratégia utilizada para recolher informação. Os resultados mostram motivações recreativas e sociais quando se decide praticar este desporto, encontrando benefícios ligados à melhoria de sua condição física, superação de barreiras, estabilidade psicológica e emocional, apoio mútuo e geração de novas relações sociais, aspectos que melhoram significativamente a sua qualidade de vida .

Abstract:
La estructura educativa de la población joven en España es única en comparación con otros países de nuestro entorno. Ésta se caracteriza por la polarización del nivel de formación de sus jóvenes. España es el único país de la OCDE con altas tasas, tanto de jóvenes con educación superior, como de jóvenes con un nivel educativo bajo. Nos interrogamos sobre las condiciones educativas y laborales de este colectivo de jóvenes sin estudios obligatorios completados, muy castigados por el contexto de crisis económica. Precariedad, temporalidad, contratos de formación o prácticas, contratos a tiempo parcial se están cronificando en el mercado laboral español, y se están convirtiendo en una norma informal de acceso al empleo y de precarización prolongada del mismo; en parte, a consecuencia de los cambios en las políticas educativas que limitan sus oportunidades de promoción o mejora. Se pretende conocer, a través de los datos de la Encuesta de Población Activa, la situación sociolaboral de los jóvenes con escasos estudios, en un período sumamente convulso: entre el final del boom económico y la crisis económica en España. Y tratamos de interrogarnos hasta qué punto ambas coyunturas socioeconómicas han roto con la igualdad de oportunidades, propiciando la construcción de una sociedad dualizada, desde un punto de vista educativo y laboral.Palabras-clave: Jóvenes con escasos estudios; Desigualdad de oportunidades; Mercado laboral. ABSTRACTThe educational structure of the young population in Spain is unique compared to other neighbouring countries. It is characterized by the polarization of the levels of education of its young people. Spain is the only country in the OECD with the highest rates of young people with both higher education and low education level. We are considering the educational and working conditions of this part of our society who haven’t finished compulsory education and are really punished by the context of the economic crisis. Precariousness, temporality, training contracts or internship and part-time contracts are a constant in the Spanish labour market. They are becoming an informal norm of access to jobs and also a way of prolonged instability about employment. All this is partly due to changes in the educational policies that limit young people’s opportunities for promotion or improvement. This article intends to gain insight into the social and occupational situation of young people with low educational attainment in Spain. In order to do so, the Spanish Labour Force Survey will be used, analyzing the period of time ranging from the end of the economic boom from the beginning of the century to the current economic crisis. The research question focuses on the effect of both economic scenarios in the equality of opportunities and to what extent a dual society has emerged both in the educational and occupational realms.Keywords: Young people with low educational attainment; Inequality of opportunities; Labor market

Abstract:
Numerosos estudios han abordado las características y antecedentes de las personas que se encuentran o han estado en prisión, así como las importantes consecuencias que esta condición ha implicado en el devenir de sus vidas. Sin embargo, muchos menos trabajos han sido dedicados a analizar específicamente la conexión entre aquella y la situación de sinhogarismo, sin que apenas se haya prestado atención a dicha cuestión en nuestro país. Las investigaciones en esta materia apuntan a que ambas circunstancias se encuentran estrechamente relacionadas e interactúan de forma compleja a lo largo del tiempo, en conexión con otros factores, tanto relativos al pasado como al presente, en la conformación final de la historia de vida de cada individuo. Con base en los datos recopilados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística en la más reciente Encuesta a las personas sin hogar, realizada en el año 2012, se analizan diversos aspectos relacionados con las características, antecedentes personales y familiares y condiciones de vida de las personas en situación de sin hogar en función de si habían estado o no en prisión en algún momento de su vida. A nivel global, y en la línea de la literatura previa, los hallazgos sugieren que esta experiencia aporta un valor negativo añadido a la ya de por sí desafortunada situación de sinhogarismo, comportando unas peores condiciones de vida, a la vez que caracteriza a las personas sin hogar con antecedentes más desfavorables a lo largo de su infancia y adolescencia. Tales resultados evidencian la necesidad de diseñar e implementar estrategias de intervención que resulten eficaces para el logro efectivo de la inserción social y laboral de estos colectivos y, particularmente, de apostar por estrategias preventivas que incidan sobre las raíces de ambas condiciones. A lot of research has been conducted on the characteristics and backgrounds of people who are or have ever been imprisoned, as well as on the impact this condition has entailed on their lives. However, much less work has been specifically aimed at analysing the connection between imprisonment and homelessness, and hardly any attention has been paid to this topic in Spain. Previous research in this area has shown that both circumstances are closely related and interact in complex ways over time, in connection to other factors, both referring to the past and present time, in the final shaping of the individual’s life story. On the basis of the data collected by the National Institute of Statistics from its latest Survey to Homeless People, conducted in 2012, characteristics, backgrounds and life conditions of homeless people who had and had not been in prison are compared. In support of previous research, overall findings suggest that the fact of being an exprisoner adds negative value to the already adverse situation of homelessness, since life conditions were less favourable among individuals from the second group, who also reported coming from disadvantaged backgrounds to a greater extent. Such results evince a need for designing and implementing intervention strategies that are truly effective for achieving social inclusión and employability among these groups and, particularly, the relevance of developing preventive strategies to address the roots of both conditions.

Following the dismantling of most border controls within the European Union as a consequence of the 1985 Schengen Agreement, many communities located in border zones have had to reassess their socio-cultural, economic and legal relationships with neighbouring communities on the other side of state frontiers. This has been true, among others, for the inhabitants o f the towns of Irun and Hondarribia on the Spanish side of the Franco-Spanish frontier and o f the nearby town of Hendaia on the French side. Since the late 1980s, Irun, Hondarribia and Hendaia have sought to strengthen their relations with each other. This led, in 1999, to the launching of the Bidasoa-Txingudi Cross-Frontier Consortium - Bidasoa-Txingudi Mugaz Gaindiko Partzuergoa in Basque - formalising at the level of their municipal administrations the ties between the three towns that form the area now known as Bidasoa-Txingudi. For more than a decade, the promoters of cross-frontier co-operation in Bidasoa-Txingudi have been active in setting up cultural and social projects with the aim of encouraging the population of the three towns to develop a common sense of local belonging. This thesis will examine the ways in which the Bidasoa-Txingudi Cross-Frontier Consortium attempts to win legitimacy in the eyes of the local population, including a particular emphasis on ‘culture’. Reflecting the dominant influences of the states of which they form part, the communities on either side of the frontier operate within different social and cultural contexts. But they also share a common Basque cultural and linguistic heritage, thanks to their location in the Basque-speaking region that straddles the Franco-Spanish border at the western end of the Pyrenees. The result is an environment in which contrasting and sometimes conflicting issues of identity, nationality, language and culture mingle and interreact. This thesis is intended as a contribution to the ongoing debate in the social sciences concerning the concepts o f identity and ethnicity. It will examine the different ways in which identity, as experienced by different inhabitants of Bidasoa-Txingudi, is constructed and expressed. In doing so, it will challenge notions of fixed identity among members of groups often perceived as homogeneous. By illustrating the varying expressions of self that can be observed in the area, it will seek to build on current debates on the relationship between collective and individual identity and contribute to the analysis of relationships between culture and identity in changing border areas throughout Europe. By way of conclusion, the thesis will point to the problems and challenges associated with attempts to forge a new sense of common belonging in the complex sociocultural and political contexts of the Basque Country. By highlighting the discrepancies between the theoretical objectives of initiatives such as the Bidasoa-Txingudi Cross-Frontier Consortium and the realities of identity formation and expression at grass-roots level, it will attempt to shed light on issues of identity and selfhood in this and other border communities whose inhabitants are subject to potentially conflicting identity allegiances.
