No full textCo-creation as a driver of social innovation and public service reform?
No full textCo-creation has come to the forefront of policy as an innovative way of planning,
managing, delivering and assessing public services, especially in the fields of
social care, health, education and housing. Although far from universally applied,
it has powerful support and many committed champions. Co-creation implies
but goes beyond making public services more responsive to the needs and
wishes of individuals and communities. It means that people often thought of
as ‘users’, ‘targets’ or ‘beneficiaries’ have knowledge and experience that is of
value for shaping service innovations. As the Co-creation of Service Innovation
in Europe (CoSIE) pilots progressed, engaged with diverse stakeholders and
began to share their learning, it became more prominent and explicit across the
project that co-creation can only be said to take place when people no longer
have services ‘done to’ them. The mantra of disability activism, ‘nothing about
us without us’, gained traction in the consortium.
Following the conceptual exposition of co-creation in Chapter 2, this
chapter highlights its advance in public policy and emphasises the association
of co-creation with social innovation. Innovation means new ideas that are
put into practice (Hartley, 2014). Social innovation is specifically about
human needs (Brandsen et al, 2016; Marques et al, 2017)
La dinámica del paisaje en la Sierra del Aramo (Macizo Central Asturiano): procesos naturales y antrópicos
No full textThe natural and anthropic processes that intervene in the landscape dynamics of the Sierra del Aramo are analyzed. Particularly, we focus on the analysis of slope dynamics and climate warming, as well as the depopulation and changes of land uses in mountain environments. The methodology has combined field work, imagery and climate data analyses, as well as demographic and agrarian sources. The depopulation and abandonment of traditional activities explain the decline of pastures. However, the intensity of the current snow avalanches prevents the reforestation in some slopes. In the Sierra del Aramo 3.7 km2 are deforested by the recurrence of such avalanches. The relevance of snow avalanches in the dynamics of the landscape of the middle mountains in temperate latitudes are revealed.Se analizan los procesos naturales y antrópicos que intervienen en la dinámica del paisaje de la Sierra del Aramo, en especial la dinámica de laderas y el calentamiento atmosférico, así como el despoblamiento y los cambios de usos del suelo en los medios de montaña. La metodología ha combinado el trabajo de campo, la fotointerpretación de imágenes aéreas, el análisis de datos climáticos, fuentes demográficas y agrarias. El despoblamiento y el abandono de las actividades tradicionales explican la disminución de los pastizales. No obstante, la intensidad de los aludes de nieve actuales interfiere en buena medida en la recuperación de los bosques. En efecto, 3,7 km2 de la Sierra del Aramo se hallan deforestados por la recurrencia de tales avalanchas. Se muestra, por tanto, la relevancia de los aludes de nieve en la dinámica del paisaje de las montañas medias en las latitudes templadas
The Morcin tectonic window (Aramo structural Unit. Cantabrian Zone, Asturias)
No full textThe existence of a tectonic window in the northern area of the Aramo-Morcin anticlinorium is demonstrated. The thrust sheet is formed of an early Devonian detritical and calcareous succesion called the Raneces Group, whereas the autochton is made up by a Carboniferous sucession of shales and sandstones belonging to the Riosa Unit (upper Westphalian). The occurrence of such a window can be interpreted as the result of superposed folding related to front and lateral ramps and allows the interpretation for this area of a shallower basal thrust plane than the one previously proposedLa existencia de una ventana tectónica en el área norte del anticlinorio del Aramo-Morcin ha sido demostrada. El manto está formado por una sucesión detrítica y calcárea del Devónico temprano denominada Grupo Rañeces, mientras que el autóctono está compuesto por una sucesión de pizarras y areniscas del Carbonífero pertenecientes a la Unidad de Riosa (Westfaliense superior). La formación de la ventana se puede interpretar como el resultado de pliegues superpuestos relacionados con rampas frontales y laterales, y permite la interpretación de esta área como un cabalgamiento basal menos profundo de lo que hasta entonces se había supuesto
Multiparametric topological analysis (MTA) for the study of the primary CR composition: Performances with Auger simulated data
No full textWe describe the application of a multiparametric analysis to estimate the UHE Cosmic Rays composition. The proposed method, MTA (Multiparametric Topological Analysis), is based on the study of the correlations among different shower observables. This technique is designed to fully exploit the complementarity of Auger fluorescence and ground array data. In the present work, we report the results of the application to Conex showers, fully simulated through the Auger detector, using only parameters describing the longitudinal development of air showers as recorded by fluorescence detector for hybrid data
Epithermal (Cu-Co-Ni) mineralization in the Aramo mine (Cantabrian mountains, Spain) : correlation between paragenetic and fluid inclusion data
No full textThe Aramo mine is an epigenetic, carbonate-hosted ore deposit formed by major Cu-Co-Ni sulphides and arsenides, with minor precious metals and others. Based on low-temperature sulphide geothermometers and fluid inclusion data a detailed evolutive sequence is proposed with temperatures from 85 °C up to 170 °C and two maxima at 95-100 °C and 120-125 °C. On this basis a genetic model of hydrothermal systems related to the distensive Late-Hercynian tectonic activity in the Cantabrian Mountains is proposed. The nice agreement observed between the paragenetic geothermometers and the fluid inclusion data confirms the validity of fluid inclusion studies in the epithermal domain.La mine d' Aramo est un gisement épigénétique encaissé dans des roches carbonatées. La minéralisation est formée surtout par des sulfures et arséniures de Cu-Co-Ni, avec moindre concentration de métaux précieux. Les faibles températures obtenues par les géothermomètres à sulfures sont en accord avec les données des inclusions fluides et permettent l'établissement d'une séquence évolutive détaillée avec des températures de 85 à 170 °C et deux maxima vers 95-100 °C et 120-125 °C. A partir de ces données, on essaie d'établir un modèle génétique de systèmes hydrothermaux en relation avec la tectonique distensive tardihercynienne dans la Cordillère Cantabrique. La bonne corrélation obtenue entre les géothermomètres de la paragenèse minérale et les données des inclusions fluides confirme la validité des études d'inclusions fluides en domaine épithermal.Paniagua Andrés, Loredo Jorge, Garcia Iglesias Jesus.
