Antecedentes históricos de la medicina legal en España

L'obra està plantejada com una posada en antecedents per a l'actual disciplina de Medicina legal en l'àmbit de l'estat espanyol. Sense la voluntat de fer un estudi exhaustiu, que hauria estat massa extens, l'autor proposa l'estudi d'aquesta disciplina des de l'època visigoda i fins la meitat del segle XIX, moment en que la Medicina legal ja té les bases que seran les arrels de la disciplina actual.

Regime económico e financeiro para a GESTÃO DA ÁGUA no Directiva Quadro da Água (Directiva 2000/60/CE). Questões de transposição ITS no sistema jurídico espanhol

Se analiza la transposición de la Directiva Marco de Aguas 2000/60/CE al ordenamiento jurídico español, acotando la materia al régimen económico financiero de la obra pública hidráulica y en general del Dominio Público Hidráulico. A tal fin se estudian los principios rectores del régimen económico financiero comunitario del Dominio Público Hidráulico y su transposición al Ordenamiento Jurídico Español: a) Principio de recuperación de costes de los servicios relacionados con el agua y excepciones. El régimen tarifario del DPH (valor versus precio del agua). B) Principio de utilización eficiente de los recursos híbridos a través de una política de precios del agua que proporciona los incentivos adecuados a tal fin. c) Principio de contribución adecuada de los usos del agua desglosados, al menos, en industria, hogares y agricultura, basado en el análisis económico y en el principio del que contamina paga. d) Principio ambiental (creado por la OCDE): quien contamina paga (user-pays-principle). Finalmente también se analizan los costes de los servicios relacionados con el dominio público hidráulico

Citizen participation and the Lisbon Treaty : A legal perspective

How to "bring the [European] Union closer to its citizens" is a vexed and vital problem of European integration. Article 11 TEU on participatory democracy, recently introduced by the Lisbon Treaty, is meant to be part of the solution. The EU Economic and Social Committee has gone so far as to define this provision "a milestone on the road to a people's Europe that is real and feasible". This appears to be an overly optimistic assessment - partly because art. 11 relies heavily on the involvement of civil society organisations, which political science literature suggests is conceptually and/or practically irrelevant to citizen involvement; partly because it largely formalizes participatory practices that have been in existence for years without cognizable effects on citizen participation; and partly because even its most innovative element - the European citizens' initiative (ECI) - does not bring significant changes to the Union's constitutional arrangements in terms of redistributing decision-making power. In addition to that, secondary legislation places significant hurdles on the submission of ECIs and might prevent or delay their becoming a standard democratic practice. This is not to say that art. 11 TEU has no potential at all. Its insertion in the Treaty might provide impetus to rethink and develop past participatory practices, such as horizontal civil dialogue. Moreover, the effects of "popular input" in the form of ECIs on EU institutional dynamics is as yet unknown - and perhaps not negligible, to judge from the keen interest that the European Parliament and other bodies have demonstrated in "appropriating" it as a political asset. Finally, art. 11 raises the stakes of the Union's democratic challenge and might pressure EU institutions to make full use of its potential. Or, if eventually proved inadequate, art. 11 might constitute a constitutional experiment on the way to meaningful forms of direct democracy at EU level.
