Changes of land use, particularly those affecting agriculture, constitute an important issue in Galicia due to the consequences they carry from the environmental, economic and cultural points of view. Nevertheless, it is largely pending of being studied in greater detail, especially from the perspective of its location on the territory. This paper presents the use of statistical tools to evaluate the influence of several biophysical, structural, social and economic variables on the pattern of changes affecting the the distribution of agricultural land in the district of Terra Chá in the period 1956-2004. Among other results, it is shown that although the abandonment of agriculture took place mainly in less productive parcels located far from farms, the result of this transition was different in those areas located at higher altitude and farther from populated places (where shrubs covered most of former agricultural plots) and in more accessible areas where tree cover increased significantly. The opposite transition (from shrublands to agricultural use) was demonstrated to be closely correlated with the structure of parcels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Spanish cinema has recently joined as a central theme the human mobility processes (especially international) and the construction of subjectivities in the context of the departure and receiving migrant groups. But the perceptive density of migration as a cinematographic "phenomenon" has as its counterpart the occupation of political, cultural and media agendas by the imaginary of migration, building a vision of Spain as a destination for immigrants from 1990. The purpose of this paper is a brief reading of the central notions of this cinematic otherness taking aim at the construction of the 'alien' group, 'exiles', 'diasporics' and 'Illegals' in some of the most representative Spanish movies dealing with the relations between cinema, memory and identity.

The paper examines the challenges that exist in Brazil, with respect to the institutionalization of geographical indications of agricultural food products, based on the European experience. The recent expansion in the number of experiences of differentiation has not been able to engender changes required to stabilize a system that currently shows up extremely fragile and lacking coordination. The study is based on a comparative approach between the Brazilian and European legal framework considering the existence of diverse experiences of geographical indications of Spain (Andalusia) and Rio Grande do Sul (Serra Gaucha).

This paper seeks to clarify the mechanisms of gender-based differentiation in everyday practices of work organization within a profession where employees face a particularly high level of stress: secondary school teaching. It compares France and Spain, two countries where the professional teaching standards differ and ask for a particular commitment at work. Focusing on the results of a qualitative survey, the author gives prime importance to the speeches and representations that individuals use to describe their experiences at work. Taking into account the various working environments (career-related and non career-related), it leads us to observe that, although the impacts are not alike within the two countries studied, gender-differentiated spatial and temporal arrangements have consequences from a health point of view, namely in terms of stress. However, the commonly identified feeling of "overload" remains often unrecognised, or even officially unspeakable, within this profession with a family-friendly reputation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The international expatriate adjustment would be major factor in the development of the company's international activities and is defined by Ali (2003) as the comfort level of the worker in the host country. Realizing the importance of expatriate's adjustment in the international business, this paper aims to assess how the international Brazilians expatriates process occurred in china and Spain, considering the two levels of analyze proposed in the black, Mendenhall e Oddou ( 1991) model: anticipated adjustment( before moving to abroad) and adjustment in the host country.the methodology used was an qualitative exploratory research with ten Brazilian expatriates: five individuals assigned to work in Spain, and the others five to assigned to work in China. Among the mains findings, perceived to lack of preparation prior to expatriation by the People Management team and found that the difference adversely affects the mental adjustment, but the challenges and grasping the global mindset of the executive appease this factor.

The aim of this paper is to offer a general perspective on the "victor/vanquished" dichotomy as a result of the new power balance in the period following the Spanish Civil War. The power balance administered by the Franco regime includes, inevitably, the "vanquished" management. I argue that the "victor/vanquished" distinction provides a sociological background to speak about the "two Spains" meta-historical metaphor as a social reality during Francoism.

Th e reduction of information asymmetry leads to a sound economic distribution with better investment opportunities. From this perspective, this paper aims to investigate factors that aff ect the extent of voluntary information disclosure by companies listed in the Spanish stock exchange. Th e statistical technique ordinary least squares was used for the sake of analysis. Th e results suggest that factors like: fi rm size, economic industry, debt ratio, level of internationalization, age and diff erence between common stock value and book value explain the greater extent of information disclosure for intangible resources. In turn, factors like profi tability, level of monopoly and floating capital of the company explain the lower levels of information disclosure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The information sector is, by its nature, an heterogeneous sector. The diversity of the professional environments where these activities occur, the diversity of its actors and interpenetration of their duties make difficult to characterize the professional areas and their names. In this sense, the boundaries that separate the occupations of this sector are not clear. According Abbott (1988), all the professions form a system. In this system, the professions divide their spaces in accordance with the power of that each one. The history of these disputes determines the history of professions. The difficulty in define the field of the information professions is a consequence of these interactions, the uncertainty of roles that these professionals should play in a reality where technological change is very rapid. The term "information professional" covers a wide field of activities with various This paper aims to reflect on the reality of the information professional, evoking the contradictions between the different meanings of the words that describe these professionals from the literature of Information Science from Brazil and Spain. It is based in research on the sociology of professions, following mainly Abbott (1988) and Dubar (2005). The content analysis is based on Bardin's technique, and considers three variables: the names of the professions, their definitions and their competences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to show how Bibliometrics is a quantitative study of scientific production, dissemination and use of information in different fields of information: bibliometric indexes are analyses and standards of measure for printed intellectual authoring, crucial to librarian management. The impact factor is the by-product of the statistic analysis that quantifies ranking and other categories of periodic publications -- the mathematical calculation of the impact factor is shown and exemplified. We suggest the application of the impact factor to monographs. For this purpose we will mention the pioneering studies of Urban Cristóval of the Universitat de Barcelona. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
