Abstract. In the evolving landscape of scientific research, ORCID identifiers are essential for maintaining academic integrity and enhancing research visibility. This study proposes a methodological framework for identifying and analysing the presence and characteristics of researchers in a specific country in ORCID, using complementary data from OpenAlex to improve results. Our objectives were…

Abstract. The European Union’s (EU) response to the Rule of Law (RoL) crisis has received considerable academic attention. However, the EU’s interactions with other international organisations in addressing the crisis remain understudied. This paper examines how the European Commission (‘the Commission’) has increasingly drawn on the expertise of the Venice Commission (VC), the Council of Europe’…

Abstract. In recent decades, support for the far right has surged in many countries. One common explanation for this is that far-right support is a backlash against left-wing governments and their policies. We investigate the causal effect of the partisan make-up of governments on the electoral results of far-right parties. Evidence from over-time comparative data and a quasi-experimental…

Abstract. A well-established finding in public opinion research is that women are more supportive than men of government intervention in the economy. This paper examines correlates of this gender gap using five waves of nationally representative survey data from Spain (2020–2024). We address two questions. First, are structural economic factors (income, employment status, perceived fiscal benefit…

Resumen. El rechazo a las evidencias suele interpretarse como un error cognitivo, lo que se asocia a rasgos irracionales de los actores. Este trabajo muestra las incongruencias de este modelo explicativo, siguiendo las contradicciones del comportamiento humano. En su lugar se propone interpretar la formación de preferencias desde la interacción social. Lo que es un error en el primer modelo (el…

Abstract. This chapter examines the biological pathways through which prenatal maternal stress, triggered by natural disasters, affects maternal and foetal health. Key mechanisms include HPA axis dysregulation and increased cortisol exposure, which may alter foetal development and long-term stress regulation. The chapter also explores epigenetic modifications, particularly DNA methylation, as…

Abstract. In the classic preference reversal (PR) phenomenon, individuals often choose the safer of two gambles but assign a higher monetary evaluation to the riskier one. A key distinction between choice and evaluation tasks is that the former typically require comparative processing of the two bets, while the latter can be conducted in isolation for each bet. If this task-mode difference plays…

Abstract. Increased intensity and frequency of extreme wildfires impose significant societal costs worldwide, affecting not only landowners’ properties but also society at large. Private landowner efforts to self-mitigate wildfire risks may become insufficient, as many benefits accrue as positive externalities to society, thus not entering sufficiently into private cost-benefit calculations.…

Resumen. El CISNS constituye para algunos un modelo de cooperación y coordinación dentro del sistema español de relaciones intergubernamentales. Para otros observadores, sin embargo, este órgano no ha llegado a cumplir las funciones que podrían esperarse de él y encarna bien todos los problemas y deficiencias de los que adolece nuestro modelo territorial. A partir de la reciente pandemia, este…

Abstract. Efforts to involve patients in medical decision-making have led to the development of various models for structuring clinical encounters. Among them, Shared Decision-Making (SDM) is now a cornerstone of contemporary healthcare, based on the ethical imperative to involve patients through the articulation of preferences. However, in practice, SDM often relies on a rationalist model of…
