This article reflects on the scope and impact of rural development policies on Andalusian youth, through the results of the line of research in this field that the authors have developed in recent years. It illustrates the context, expectations and representations of youth, often negative, from the time after the Great Recession to the present day. The perspective of the managers of such policies is also presented, as well as the results of two programs aimed at increasing youth participation and their integration with rural development structures. All this shows the limited impact perceived by young people, as well as the difficulties and inconsistencies faced by rural development policies to reverse this situation, despite their potential and achievements in other moments and fields. 

Remote rural areas experiencing a process of population decrease are very vulnerable and sensitive to population movement: out-migration of local people as well as the arrival of new residents. This article explores the impact of the 2008 crisis on pro-rural migration patterns towards this type of rural areas. In order to do that, the case of Las Batuecas-Sierra de Francia, in Salamanca, has been analised. Fieldwork was qualitative in nature, and it consisted of a series of semi-structured interviews conducted to key informants and new residents. The analysis of the interviews allows us to observe the impact of the crisis in a double way. On the one hand, a pro-rural migration forced by the crisis as the last strategy to overcome the crisis. On the other, a pro-rural migration resembling a kind of amenity migration. In this case, new residents found in the crisis the incentive to set in motion a dormant dream.   

In this article we try to expose some of the mechanisms that are currently applied in the workplace in order to shape the behavior of workers and creating subjectivities. Specifically, the object of study focuses on the financial sector in Spain, which is immersed in a context of rapid transformation that is still unfinished, analyzing those strategies followed by these organizations, deploying dynamics aimed at promoting self-control by the employee and the use of their personal skills and aimed at achieving business objectives.

Este artículo presenta una revisión del concepto de sujeto neoliberal a través de sus distintas caracterizaciones en la filosofía política contemporánea. Bajo las nociones de empresa, deuda y reto, se estudian las obras de los principales autores que se han ocupado de la subjetividad neoliberal y se muestran sus diferencias, así como el hilo conductor que, mediante acuerdos implícitos, ha avanzado la investigación hasta alcanzar una concepción del sujeto neoliberal como aquel que toma su vida como una sucesión de retos deportivos. Así, se concluye que el concepto de reto ha recogido los análisis basados en la empresa y en la deuda, ofreciendo la definición más completa y exacta del sujeto neoliberal.

El imperativo cultural de la monogamia impregna toda la arquitectura jurídica del Estado y, al mismo tiempo, la excede, saturando las relaciones sociales de formas no siempre evidentes. A partir de ese presupuesto, este trabajo se centra, geográficamente, en Brasil y, temporalmente, en el contexto abierto por la pandemia de covid-19, con el objetivo de defender la hipótesis de que la monogamia se ha visto reforzada en cuanto principio organizador del campo de la sexualidad y de las relaciones de parentesco durante el episodio pandémico. El análisis propuesto pretende alertar, además, sobre las formas en que las normas de excepción implementadas durante las crisis pandémicas se sedimentan en el cuerpo social, pasando así a formar parte constitutiva del orden público. 

The various challenges of change for the sustainability of life in rural areas serve a series of processes, dynamics and public policies that are exposed in this article. It points to a series of processes such as the construction of cosmopolitan rural areas, as spaces of intense mobility or vital projects for a youth with their own needs and lifestyles. We confront these dynamics of low-density territories require appropriate public policies to fight inequalities and imbalances in order to sew the rural-urban gaps. Next, the materials that compose this monograph are introduced, articles that trigger the debate on those pillars that slow down or encourage the phenomenon of depopulation.

This paper has the purpose of evaluating the viability from the production of second generation ethanol from the cellulose contained in green coconut. To do so, Topics as fermentation inhibitors, the fermentative process itself and the analysis of the acid hydrolysis methodology are discussed. Thus, a study about how viable would be to produce a biofuel using the mesocarp of the green coconut as a source was made, concluding that theoretically the yield of ethanol from the green coconut is inferior comparing to the sugarcane bagasse, however, in sustainable and enviromental aspects, is considerable to be done. The coconut consume generates not only industrial but also coastal regions waste, and there are very few discussions about ways to reuse that waste. The biofuels production, specifically of the second generation ethanol, brings a solution to this problem. The chemical aspects about the green coconut reuse are still little widespread, being common the use of sugarcane, however, the yield by using the green coconut can expand the biofuel production and also revolutionize the industry with the utilization of this new source.

This research aims to understand the meanings attributed to "living the university" with an academic posture for the development of an experiential formation, by perceiving the learning experienced in the acts of a curriculum as a possibility of an existential formation. It is based on Another Rigor (Macedo, 2009), encompassing human beings in their formation, including poetic, philosophical, literary and the uncertainties inherent by the subjects. We were inspired by Multireferentiality (Ardoino, 1998), Life Stories (Josso, 2004) and the Curriculum Acts (Macedo, 2020), building self-narratives from the Research Journal (Barbosa, 2010) and digital tracks (Santos, 2014). As research sources we used books, scientific articles, dissertations and the Pedagogical Project from the Pedagogy Course. Therefore, we understand the meanings of "living the university" extrapolating the limits of the established curriculum, or any intention of just filling out a formal curriculum, but as a posture assumed in the face of the training implied and engendered in the Curriculum Acts.
