An economic model for water allocation in North Eastern Spain
No full textThe aim of this paper is to construct and apply a model for the allocation of water between two competing users, namely irrigation and hydropower. The model is applied in a case study of a specific water system located in North Eastern Spain. Starting with an irrigation-hydropower joint income function, we develop a constrained maximisation process that takes into account the environmental, institutional and actual priority of the water rights. The resulting solution can be useful as a guide for potential bargains between users. Furthermore, we evaluate the results for different supply (precipitation) and water allotments (increase in irrigated land). The results show that there are sufficient incentives so as to reach agreements that lead to improvements in a Pareto sense without side payments.Environmental and Natural Resource Economics, Water Economics, Bargaining, Cooperative Games

Size and linkages of the Spanish construction industry: key sector or deformation of the economy?
No full textUntil its recent end, the Spanish construction industry enjoyed a decade of unprecedented growth, absorbing labour and capital from other sectors of the economy in huge amounts. Using the input--output methodology, we compare the picture for different countries in order to seek patterns and identify possible distortions associated with the extraordinary growth of the construction sector in Spain. We find that the sector is plainly oversized in Spain in comparison to its closest benchmarks, namely a group of OECD advanced economies. The available input--output data for Spain, covering several years, also provide evidence of a process of 'deformation' of the economy. On this basis, we provide an initial estimate of the impact a hypothetical adjustment in the industry would have on total income and employment in the economy. Copyright The Author 2010.

Integration of hydrological and economic approaches to water and land management in Mediterranean climates: an initial case study in agriculture
No full textA distinction is commonly drawn in Hydrology between ‘green’ and ‘blue water’ in accounting for total water availability in semi-arid regions. The criterion underlying this classification is important for successful water management, because it reveals how much natural water is and/or could be used by households, industry and, especially, agriculture. The relative share of green and blue water is generally treated as a constant. In recent years, a growing hydro-geological literature has focused on a phenomenon that significantly affects the stability of the green/blue water ratio. This is the increase in land cover density and its impact on runoff in regions with a Mediterranean climate, such as the Ebro Basin in Spain. We seek to carry this knowledge over into the parameters of disciplines concerned with the economic valuation of water and territorial resources, and translate it into the language used by water management professionals in the expectation that this contribution will improve the way we assess and account for real water availability. The heart of the matter is that the increasing density of forest cover produces both positive and negative environmental and economic impacts, presenting new economic and environmental problems that must be examined and assessed in a hydrological-economic context. We will show that these positive and negative effects are sufficiently important to merit attention, whether they are measured in physical or economic terms. Finally, we make an initial proposal for the economic valuation of some of the effects produced by these hydrological changes.blue water; green water; hydro-economic framework; water resources accounting

El valor del agua en el río: ¿cuánto, cómo y por qué?
No full textThis paper shows and analyses the concept of instream value of water. New concepts both on water accounting and management show up by building an appropriate framework to deal with these instream uses. More precisely, real or net consumption definition highlight the fact that there is no such a thing as non-consumptive uses. Moreover, competition between users in and off-stream appears clearly and rises the need for new kinds of collective water management
Elderly abuse and its nursing approach from Primary Health Care
No full textEl maltrato a los ancianos es una realidad hasta hace unas décadas escondida. Sin embargo, con el envejecimiento progresivo de la población a nivel mundial y los diversos cambios políticos y sociales que se avecinan, el maltrato se va a convertir en un problema de primer orden a nivel mundial.
A lo largo de los años se ha dado una mayor importancia al maltrato en la infancia y a la violencia de género; dejando a un lado a las personas mayores. Por eso, el propósito de éste trabajo es investigar acerca del maltrato a las personas mayores. Y para poder entender mejor la realizad se ha realizado una búsqueda bibliográfica en la que se han investigado las teorías, los indicadores y los factores de riesgo. Cabe destacar la ausencia de bibliografía actualizada y novedosa; ya que casi ningún texto examinado describe el papel del profesional de enfermería.
Se debe remarcar la importancia de la Enfermería como hilo conductor debido a la cercanía y conexión con el paciente y con otros profesionales; sobre todo desde la Atención Primaria.
En conclusión, la concienciación y la formación en prevención y actuación ante el maltrato son imprescindibles; y hoy en día insuficientes.The Elder Abuse has been a reality hidden until a few decades ago. However, due to the progressive aging of the world’s population, and the diverse political and social changes looming, the abuse will become a number one priority problem around the world.
Over the years, infant abuse and gender violence had received great importance; leaving the Elder Abuse behind.
Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate about elder abuse. And to better understand the reality, a bibliographic research has been made to investigate the theories, the indicators and the risk factors. It is imperative to highlight the lack of new and updated bibliography; since almost none of the texts examined described the role of nurses
It is important to emphasize the importance of Nursing as a connector due to the nearness and connection with the patience and other professionals; especially in Primary Heath Care.
To sum up, awareness and training in prevention and action against abuse is vital; and nowadays insufficient.Grado en Enfermerí
