Despite the generalised increase in population in Asturias in the eighteenth century, in certain areas the opposite trend was observed, as in the case of the Oscos-Eo district and other westerly parts of the region. This article presents a detailed study of the demographic situation in Oscos-Eo in the eighteenth century based on population censuses, parish records and moneda forera (a type of monetary tax) registries, in an attempt to establish the causes and phases of the decline in the district's population during this period.

Concerning the demographic issue we have gone from alarmist statements from those who feared a non-controlled population overflowing, to a more realistic and scientifically founded view, based on the extension of the demographic transition to the whole world. Even if the population continues to grow, because of a still young age structure, United Nations population prospects estimate the moment when it will reach a maximum at about the 2080 decade. The most remarkable result of this process is an enormous change in the geographical distribution of people, with the center of gravity heading to the african continent. In the short term, the migratory issue will continue to stand, complicated by becoming a deceiving political conflict in the affluent countries. In the medium and long term, changes in the age structure of the population (ageing) will extend to the whole planet, beginning with the emerging countries (BRICS). A disturbing perspective for poor countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents, for the first time, complete annual series of the Mexican population by states during the period 1820-70. It is based on the available contemporary surveys and the most recent estimates, as well as on some calculations made in order to fill the remaining gaps. We also estimate the percentage changes and the growth rates among significant years that are implicit in the new series. These, together with other indicators, allow us to conclude that Mexican demographic growth was slow. To conclude, we explore the most significant factors that may explain such behavior, namely, wars, invasions and political instability, epidemics, and economic development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rivers are fundamental elements in populations and at the same time represent risks arising from extreme events. The objectives of this work were to identify the main environmental effects caused by the overflow of the Pindo Grande River in the Shell parish and to know the state of emergency preparedness of the population. A survey format was developed that collects socioeconomic information, housing, services and effects due to the river floods, which was applied to 135 people located in neighborhoods surrounding the river. It was determined that the majority of the population has not been trained for emergencies and the flashlight as the most reported equipment and the main impact was on the water and electrical service provisions. It is concluded that the areas surrounding the river are exposed to risks due to flooding and the majority of the population has not been trained in emergency management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discloses the results of the evaluation, the essence of the political dimension in education and its impact on General Basic Education of the "Coronel Héctor Espinosa" Educational Unit, located in the Toacaso parish, Latacunga canton, Cotopaxi province. The research work carried out assumed a qualitative approach, the inductive method and the interview were used, with their respective instruments, which allowed the authors to gather information from the different educational actors and determine the impacts of the political dimension. From the discussion of the results, they allowed us to conclude that the political dimension of education, taking the study carried out as a reference, is being affected in the Basic General Education of the aforementioned rural institution. The impacts on the general population are negative, affecting areas such as infrastructure, access to educational services, quality and equity, participation in educational action, educational offer at various levels and sub-levels, as well as State investment in the educational system, limiting compliance with the objectives set out in the curriculum and consequently educational quality. The results shown are evidence of the little interest that the Ecuadorian State pays to education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The GO-PEG project is a research project funded by the European Commission, which has been carried out between 2019 and 2023. Its goal is to provide access to harmonized thematic datasets and their corresponding metadata in the areas of the environment, emergencies, and management. A specific use case, known as POPIMPACT, will be presented within the framework of GO-PEG. In this context, a high-value dataset has been generated to identify the population in each building of an area affected by an emergency, documenting lessons learned and best practices. A methodology is established in PostGIS using various functions to harmonize the information and assign the population based on different selectable methods (building footprint, volume, and residential area). The results are validated using the FAIR principles and are published through the OGC API in the European Metadata Catalog. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this research was to analyze some socioeconomic and environmental variables (timber forest production, forest fires, the National Agricultural Consumer Price Index, the agricultural Gross Domestic Product, the planted agricultural area, the rural population, and the urban population ) that influence deforestation in Mexico, during the period 1990-2020. The analysis used an estimated multiple linear regression model built using the Ordinary Least Squares method. The statistical results indicated that the statistically significant variables were forestry production, the National Agricultural Consumer Price Index, and the agricultural Gross Domestic Product.

Since the mid-20th century, a large part of Spain's rural areas have experienced an unprecedented demographic exodus. Although this is a phenomenon that is mainly seen in the northern half of the country, there are territories located on the southern slopes where the intensity of depopulation makes them particularly special. Among these, the regions that make up the interprovincial node of the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula stand out. The main objective of this work is to examine both the notable depopulation suffered by these territories and the causes that have driven this process. The methodology used to cover this question is based on the analysis of the demographic dynamics experienced since 1900 and the evaluation of the data obtained from indicators such as vegetative and migratory growth or economic income, among others. Together with this main objective, the aim is to ascertain the effects that Covid-19 may have had on the demographic dynamics and the future prospects they present. In this respect, different variables relating to ageing, birth and death rates and the weight of the foreign population are studied. The results obtained show both the seriousness acquired by depopulation since 1950 and the poor forecasts for the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a context of increasing demand for long-term care, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing care homes in Spain has highlighted the need for structural improvements. At the same time, there are notable territorial inequalities in the coverage of residential places. This study aims to estimate the need for new residential places to reach the average ratio of OECD countries -5 places for every 100 person aged 65 and over-in the short, medium and long term, at national, provincial, urban and rural area level. It is based on the data of existing nursing homes, census and population projections. It would be necessary to create 255 000 new nursing places in the period 2021-2035 and a further 145 000 in the period 2035-2050 in Spain. The greatest deficit of nursing places is concentrated in large urban areas and certain coastal provinces. The medium and long-term forecast for nursing homes is being reflected to a greater extent in reports by private entities than in competent public administration plans. Likewise, for adequate spatial planning of nursing homes, it is necessary to adopt criteria of proximity, integration in the community and environments that facilitate active ageing, safety, sociability and physical and mental health.

Self-medication is a widespread practice throughout the world. Those who carry it out seek relief or cure of diseases, without professional supervision. The medications consumed are varied; among them, antibiotics; It is of interest to characterize the phenomenon and propose solutions; This requires discovering its associated factors, and the consequences on public health. For this, a narrative review was carried out based on scientific publications in the time window of 15 years, emphasizing the treatment of COVID19 in the last three years, taking into account the intensification of self-medication with antibiotics during the pandemic. The scenario projected for humanity in relation to self-medication, particularly antibiotics, requires measures in fields such as education of both the general population and health professionals and the implementation of government policies to control it.

Objective: to compare air pollution’s behavior during quarantine in the city of Bogota, in regard to other cities in the world in aspects such as population, area, among others, through a statistical analysis of the concentration data of pollutants PM10, PM2.5 and NO2, for the period from January to July 2020. Materials and methods: 20 cities were selected according to the matrix for the study. Using the BOOTSTRAPPING technique, a correlation matrix and histograms were made for each of the pollutants per phase. For the application of the PCA, the analysis was carried out using MATLAB software, with respect to the averages per phases and change magnitudes. SPSS software was used to normalize the data for the treatment of the variables of interest. Making use of ARIMA and ETS modeling, the data were analyzed longitudinally, the forecast of concentrations with and without quarantine, including the comparison between cities. Results: In the reactivation phase, Bogota presented a significant increase in its pollution levels, especially in PM10. In the differences between the phases before and reactivation, Bogota obtained a lower magnitude in the case of PM2.5, while for NO2 it was more remarkable. Conclusions: In the quarantine, Bogota experienced a significant decrease in the concentration of PM10 and NO2. This was not the case for PM2.5 concentration due to different temporary events (fires and particulate matter transportation). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The public pension system in Spain has been in a complicated situation for years. Institutions are questioning its sustainability in the medium and long term. Despite these warnings, no changes are being made to bring about an improvement. This article analyzes, from the perspective of behavioral economics, the biases and heuristics involved that are holding back change. In addition, behavioural proposals are put forward that would boost individual savings and could be the solution to the problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes an analytical model to understand, analyze and compare the state migration policies in the presence of persistent and increasingly migratory flows nowadays. Thus, migration policies are analyzed from the most critical concepts and with the historical reconstruction of the origin and development of migratory instruments and regulations. Finally, it proposes a model for analyzing the State's Governmental Logic with the help of Neo-institutionalist perspective and the Public Policies Approach; the Foucaultian-inspired debate on "technologies of power" for population control, and sociological developments on individuals' migration practices.

In the second half of the 18th century, the presidios had some changes in terms of their objectives. One of them was to become a settlement enclave as well as being a defensive bastion. To measure the success of the presidio as a demographic settlement, the objective of this article is to analyze the population dynamics and nuptiality in the case of the Monclova presidio from 1776 to 1823. The sources used are the records of baptisms, marriages and burials of the presidio that will be analyzed with the aggregative method. It is concluded that there were some similarities between the presidio and other settlements in terms of their demographic structure, but the natural growth remained negative due to the excess mortality due to the epidemics of the period. In this sense, nuptiality failed to sustain population growth due to the scarcity of second marriages that created new families and self-regulate their growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this research, perceptions of high school students on the rights of migrants have been identified and described. The sample consisted of 40 students from educational establishments in Greater Concepción-Chile. The methodology used was qualitative and the speeches of the students interviewed were analyzed in depth. The results indicate that they conceive immigration as a new phenomenon that they cannot explain clearly. Their speeches are contradictory because they show solidarity with immigrants but consider that prevent access to sources of work and that they cannot have the same rights as the national population.

Long-term mayors in the local government system in Spain can be defined as mayors who have remained at least four terms in office; as a result, they constitute agents of special interest for Political Science after four decades of municipal democracy. Based on an analysis of the scientific literature, this research note elaborates a proposal about the individual factors (autonomy, previous experience, female gender and political career) and contextual ones (population size, motion of censure, type of investiture, crisis produced by nationalization of local life and turncoat tendency) that affect the prolongation in time of local leadership. This way, we analyze the influence of these factors upon the temporal continuity of a sample of long-term mayors of elected in province capital cities and autonomous cities between 1979 and 2019. As a result, it is noted that previous professional experience, the local political career, the smaller demographic size and the type of investiture are the factors positively influencing local leaders to consolidate as long-term mayors.

The purpose of this work is to reflect on two fundamental aspects of rural development in Mexico. The first is related to the intrinsic value of both natural and social-human capital. The second analyzes the problems and opportunities inherent to rural development and the formal proposals for its development expressed in the National Development Plan (PND). The study is justified from the aspects of academic and scientific assessment by recognizing the diverse wealth of rural areas. It is also assumed as necessary from the political perspective given the necessary actions to be implemented in favor of these regions. The methods used are qualitative and quantitative. The results show that the rural areas of Mexico require policies to transform from an adverse reality to one of progress. It concludes on the need to strengthen the various support mechanisms, among which are investment in education, entrepreneurship, investment in infrastructure, access to basic services and other opportunities for the population living in these communities to privilege the roots.

Objective. To analyze the effect of Physical Activity (PA) on the Quality of Life (QL) of people aged 15 years and over considering sociodemographic, epidemiological, and psychosocial characteristics collected in a national survey carried out in Chile. Materials and methods. Quantitativeanalytical-transversal developed in Chile 2020. Descriptive and inferential statistics. Results. Average age of 49 years, 63% female. 15% reported practicing some sport or training intensely; 75% have a good or very good QL, and 53% have a good or very good QL in health. Those who practiced an intense sport were more likely to have a good or very good QL (OR= 1.58; 95%CI= 1.28,1.96) and QL associated with health (OR= 1.67; 95%CI= 1.40,1.99) compared to those who did not do it. Conclusions. PA is an aspect that impacts people's QL, cheap, easy to establish, and positively impacts the general health of the population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EP-BLEE) are present in the feces of individuals in the community. In Peru, self-medication, type of diet and sanitary conditions could be associated with this colonization. Objective: to determine the frequency of rectal colonization by EP-BLEE in outpatients of the "Hospital Regional Lambayeque", as well as the factors associated with it, during the months of July 2018 to February 2019. Material and methods: 331 participating patients were interviewed, and three serial samples of freshly emitted stool were obtained from them. The samples were cultured on McConkey agar. EP-BLEE were confirmed with the combined disc test (American method). Results: 85.8% of patients were colonized by EP-BLEE, and Escherichia coli was the most frequent isolate (87.7%). Bivariate analysis associated the consumption of pork (RP=1.15, 95% CI: 1.07 - 1.24), goat (RP=1.18, 95% CI: 1.10 - 1.25) and frequent consumption of salads (RP=1.15, 95% CI: 1.05 - 1.28) with a higher probability of being a rectal carrier of EP-BLEE. Self-medication presented values close to the limit of validity (p=0.051, RP 1.12, 95% CI 0.98 - 1.26). Conclusions: Consuming pork, goat meat and salads increase the probability of being a carrier of EP-BLEE, while self-medication could be associated, so further research is needed, since the reasons for this finding are unknown.
