Mountains are social-ecological systems exposed to multiple climatic and socioeconomic drivers. The Pyrenees are a clear example of the concomitant challenges that these regions face, as they are exposed to stressors linked to depopulation, an economic shift towards tourism, and climate change.

Local governments and aging policies : an analysis of municipalities in the region of Madrid
/
Egea de Haro, Alfonso (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) ;
Navarro Gómez, Carmen (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid)
Local governments are increasing their efforts to provide services to older adults ranging from health and care for dependents to leisure and cultural activities. Despite the widespread adoption of the active aging paradigm, the intensity of the aging process and the capacity and preferences of local governments to address the consequences of aging are not uniformly distributed. [...] Els governs locals redoblen els seus esforços per oferir a les persones més serveis, que van des de la sanitat i l'atenció a les persones dependents fins al lleure i les activitats culturals. Malgrat que el paradigma de l'envelliment actiu està molt estès, la intensitat del procés d'envelliment i la capacitat i les preferències dels governs locals per fer front a les conseqüències de l'envelliment no es distribueixen de manera uniforme. [...] Los gobiernos locales redoblan sus esfuerzos para ofrecer a las personas mayores servicios que van desde la sanidad y la atención a las personas dependientes hasta el ocio y las actividades culturales.

This work explores resource recovery coupled to seawater desalination in small islands. As small islands depend on seawater desalination for water access, they make an excellent ground for exploring the trade-offs associated to resource recovery, like potential economic gains, energy use, and environmental impacts.

Los espacios rurales atraviesan una crisis demográfica, escenario que ha impulsado acciones dirigidas a promover un modelo de desarrollo endógeno basado en el aprovechamiento sostenible de los recursos territoriales. [...] Els espais rurals travessen una crisi demogràfica, escenari que ha impulsat accions adreçades a promoure un model de desenvolupament endogen basat en l'aprofitament sostenible dels recursos territorials. [...] Les zones rurales traversent une crise démographique, scénario qui a suscité des actions visant à promouvoir un modèle de développement endogène basé sur l'utilisation durable des ressources territoriales. [...] Rural areas are going through a demographic crisis, a scenario that has prompted actions aimed at promoting an endogenous development model based on the sustainable use of territorial resources. Under these circumstances, the main objective of this article is to analyse the possibilities offered by hunting as an economic activity in the rural territory of the Portuguese- Extremaduran border.

Despite the increasing number of studies related to the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production from sewage sludge of wastewater treatment plants, there is still a gap in the correlation between the operational conditions, such as the organic loading rate (OLR), and the intracellular polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) content, productivity and final recovery of the polymer.

Composting is one of the most viable alternatives to landfill disposal to reduce the environmental impacts of organic waste management, such as the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs). A community composting system consisting of four 1 m3 modules was installed in a selected primary school in Bellaterra (Spain) and monitored through daily analysis of the main process parameters (temperature, moisture content and interstitial oxygen) and weekly analysis of gaseous emissions (CH4, N2O and VOCs).
