El estallido de la burbuja inmobiliaria y la crisis financiera global han permitido destapar de forma más evidente las consecuencias del modelo inmobiliario español, basado en la concepción de la vivienda como un instrumento de creación y apropiación de rentas, y apoyado en una progresiva financiarización de la vivienda. Así, la proliferación de vivienda vacía o inacabada, mientras se desbocan los desahucios, representa la principal manifestación de una situación paradójica.El trabajo desarrolla un análisis en clave territorial de la crisis inmobiliaria en Cataluña. Para ello, una de las variables clave es el estudio de los desahucios por ejecución hipotecaria. Ante la falta de datos oficiales sobre el volumen y distribución de este fenómeno a una escala inferior a la provincial o a la del partido judicial, el trabajo propone el uso de las viviendas de segunda mano propiedad de la banca como fuente secundaria alternativa. Ello permite desarrollar una aproximación a este fenómeno a escala inframunicipal a través de tres casos de estudio (Tarragona, Terrassa y Salt). Además de confirmar la utilidad de esta fuente, los resultados del trabajo permiten demostrar empíricamente como los desahucios por ejecución hipotecaria han tendido a concentrarse en aquellos barrios más desfavorecidos, contribuyendo, así, a profundizar la desigualdad en las ciudades.
A new species of the family Anaxyelidae (Eosyntexis parva n. sp.) is described. This is the first record of the family from Lower Cretaceous Spanish amber. The specimen is mostly well preserved, except for dorsally. This makes it possible to identify several important details rarely or never observed in compression fossils. Eosyntexis spp. and the closely related genus Cretosyntexis are confined to the Eurasian Lower Cretaceous, whereas the extant monotypic genus Syntexis is restricted to western North America. The morphology of this new species suggests xylophagous habitus, and its relation with Syntexis libocedrii implies a possible relationship with burned wood, apparently a frequently available resource in northern Spanish forests of the Lower Cretaceous.
Two new species of Orchestina (Araneae: Oonopidae) are described as O. gappi sp. nov. and O. rabagensis sp. nov. from the Cretaceous of France and Spain, respectively. Two additional specimens from Spain are placed within Orchestina but not assigned to species. These formal descriptions are the oldest for the genus and the family Oonopidae. The discovery of these older Orchestina is not surprising, as the genus is considered a basal member of the Oonopidae and one of the most diverse and long-lived spider lineages. Two of the spiders were imaged at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility using propagation phase-contrast X-ray synchrotron microtomography, demonstrating once again the enormous potential of this technique for studying fossil inclusions in amber.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
