Several Institute members and invited speakers present to an open audience the state-of-the-art of the selected subject.Part of the presentations were prepared by the authors to be included in this book. As usually, the willingness of the Institute is to promote interdisciplinary work. With this aim chapters on the management of seasonal reservoirs in Sicily, dam removal in the USA, legal aspects of infrastructures, managed aquifer recharge and constructed wetlands and lagoons for water quality improvement in a river - both in Spain - and the relationships between water and energy in reversible dams are included in the book.ÍNDICE.List of authors.Prolegomena .Presentation .Chapter 1.

Obra colectiva que recoge los trabajos de más de cuarenta profesores universitarios y profesionales de la Comunicación especialistas en medios de comunicación y redes sociales y en las últimas tendencias en contenidos digitales.El contexto actual de constante evolucion de las tecnologias de la informacion y de la comunicacion (TICs) ha creado un nuevo modelo de periodismo vinculado a Internet y a las Redes Sociales (RRSS), transformando el perfil tradicional de periodistas, usuarios y Medios de Comunicacion para siempre; como sujetos activos que conviven a diario en la misma globosfera ejerciendo sus derechos de comunicacion de forma distinta. El ejercicio masivo de dichos derechos de comunicacion por la ciudadania en Internet y RRSS ha democratizado el acceso y el dialogo, al tiempo que ha generado un nuevo modelo de consumidor de noticias alejado del pasivo receptor de antaño, un consumidor que surge con nuevas caracteristicas y exigencias digitales que necesitan conocer los Medios si desean captarle como nueva audiencia social. Unos Medios conscientes de que ya no son los periodistas los unicos creadores de noticias, sino que los usuarios lo hacen tambien y cada vez con mayor calidad. Y donde el impacto del uso de Internet y RRSS exige a todos nuevas habilidades y competencias en una sociedad que vive mirando a la Red. Un cambio que ha llegado para quedarse, transformado el ecosistema del tradicional roll informativo, donde periodistas y Medios se integran en la actividad de las RRSS en paralelo a miles de usuarios creadores de noticias que saben viralizar sus tweets, una coexistencia multiple y compleja que se genera dentro de este mundo global y abierto a la informacion, que late sin fronteras territoriales ni horarias, gracias a Internet.

Este trabajo recoge las ponencias presentadas a unas jornadas celebradas los días 24 y 25 de octubre de 2017 en Bilbao bajo el título Nuevas Perspectivas del Derecho Ambiental en el Siglo xxi / New Perspectives on Environmental Law in the 21th Century. Las jornadas abarcaron una serie de temas que se estan abriendo camino en el ordenamiento juridico ambiental, como puede ser el derecho a la alimentacion, la respuesta juridica a las catastrofes naturales o el futuro de la lucha contra el cambio climatico tras el Acuerdo de Paris de 2015. Otros quizas no respondan a una comprension enteramente novedosa, como sucede con el control de la aplicacion del ordenamiento europeo, la potestad inspectora o la proteccion de biodiversidad ante una nueva edad geologica denominada Antropoceno. Sin embargo, constituyen sectores que se encuentran en evolucion permanente o que estan experimentando una importante consolidacion, lo que exige un estudio paralelo de los mismos. Igualmente, se examina la figura de los tribunales ambientales en Reino Unido como mecanismo de resolucion de los no pocos conflictos que rodean a la proteccion del medio ambiente, en los que se ven involucradas distintas partes con intereses contrapuestos.

No writer has captured the absurdity of the human condition as acutely as Nikolai Gogol In a lively new translation by Oliver Ready this collection contains his great classic stories The Overcoat The Nose and Diary of a Madman alongside lesser known gems depicting life in the Russian and Ukrainian countryside Together they reveal Gogol s marvelously skewed perspective moving between the urban and the rural with painfully sharp humour and scorching satire Strikingly modern in his depictions of society s shambolic structures Gogol plunders the depths of bureaucratic and domestic banalities to unearth moments of dark comedy and outrageous corruption Defying categorisation the stories in this collection range from the surreal to the satirical to the grotesque united in their exquisite psychological acuteness and tender insights into the bizarre irrationalities of the human soul

El presente libro nace con el objetivo de plantearnos si es posible recurrir al derecho penal como herramienta de protección ambiental para actuar frente a la contaminación provocada por el ruido submarino de origen antropogenico, planteando la posibilidad de encuadrar la contaminacion acustica marina dentro de los delitos ambientales. La falta de regulacion sobre la contaminacion acustica marina y la consecuente ausencia de disposicion de valores de emision limite en el ambito administrativo constituyen hoy los principales factores limitantes.
