Espacio, Tiempo y Forma. Serie III. Historia Medieval, 2024
This study examines the fiscal implications of the conversion to the Christian faith of the Mudejars of Castile in 1501-1502, with special emphasis on the situation of the communities settled in the lordships of the Military Orders, as well as on the collective negotiating process of the new Morisco statute. Although baptism entailed the suppression of «differential taxation» perceived by the Christian powers on the Muslim communities, the persistence of tax collecting by, and requirement of services to the lords generated conflicts in the first years of the sixteenth century. The Morisco communities reacted by defending their new legal and fiscal status, supported by the Crown's policy aimed at recognizing the exemption of this burden as a way to facilitate assimilation. The result observed in the lordships of the kingdom of Murcia, Campo de Calatrava and the community of Hornachos are analysed as representative case studies.
Canada Watch, 2022
Myths, Damn Myths, and Voting System Change argues that the debate over voting system reform in Canada is all wrong-and that political scientists must bear most of the blame. Academics have framed the debate on the issue as a kind of popularity contest, one where the public is encouraged to take sides on the basis of the values they prefer their institutions embody. They claim that different voting systems reflect value tradeoffs on issues like simplicity, stability, local representation, and accountability. But these are myths. This essay examines each of these claims as well as arguments that insist referenda should be required to effect change, and finds that all lack compelling evidence. By contrast, Myths, Damn Myths, and Voting System Change argues that voting system reform is really an attempt to apply democratic values of inclusion, equality, and equity to Canadian electoral institutions, and offers a sounder, historically informed, evidence-based way to do it.
Journal of Spatial Information Science, 2020
Over the past 50 years or so the representation of spatial information within computerized systems has been widely addressed and developed in order to provide suitable data manipulation, analysis, and visualisation mechanisms. The range of applications is unlimited and nowadays impacts almost all sciences and practices. However, current conceptualisations and numerical representations of geospatial information still require the development of richer abstract models that match the complexity of spatial and temporal information. Geospatial ontologies are promising modelling alternatives that might favour the implementation and sharing of geographical information. The objective of this vision paper is to provide a short introduction to the principles behind semantic ontologies and how they can be applied to complex geospatial information, by evaluating their potential and limitations.

IDEARIO BOLIVARIANO: 350 PENSAMIENTOS DE SIMÓN BOLÍVAR.De Simón Bolívar el Libertador, se ha dicho mucho, existen centenares sino millares de libros referentes a él. Desde su misma época ya se habían publicado obras valiosísimas, como el “Diario de Bucaramanga” de Perú de la Croix. A Bolívar, como a todo genio y héroe, lo han interpretado desde los más opuestos puntos de vista, lo han hecho: comunistas, socialistas, conservadores, liberales, derechistas, izquierdistas, etc. Por ello, este trabajo recoge 350 pensamientos de Bolívar extraídos. de sus proclamas y cartas, bajo los capítulos:Pensamientos Militares, Políticos, Sobre Religión Y Filosofía, Sobre Sí Mismo Y Sobre El Pasado Presente Y Porvenir De América Latina. Seleccionados con la intención de mostrar una visión directa del pensamiento del Libertador, seguidos de un estudio histórico bibliográfico, sin juicios de valor ni interpretaciones personales.
