AbstractFor the past 10 years, immigration has had an enormous impact on citizenship and, more recently, on the content of European citizenship:— the presence of immigration has led most European countries to modify their nationality codes, enlarging them to more rights of soil, while European citizenship has induced a plurality of identities and a plurality of choices, putting an end to a sacralised and unitary citizenship— new values are appearing within European citizenship, under the pressure of civic immigrant associationism: antiracism (article 13 of the Amsterdam treaty), multi-culturalism, solidarity with southern European countries and beyond, support of the undocumented.— but European citizenship may also be built as a community of reciprocal rights and interest, closing itself one to the other, and reinforcing its image of alterity.

In Spain and France, a lot of attention was initially given to the #Me Too initiative that Alyssa Milano started in October 2017 and was later fuelled by Oprah Winfrey and her #Time’s Up claim in January 2018. However, in both Southern European countries the #MeToo was focused as a way for ordinary women to denounce the sexual abuse and harassment they had been suffering, sometimes for decades, in the past. Unlike Hollywood, the implication of well-known actors or powerful personalities was almost non-existent in Spain and France, but on the other hand the #MeToo movement did play a significant role when supporting women, individually or collectively, in their way to denounce, stop and overcome sexual abuse and harassment.

Modern academic disciplines of anthropology, history and archaeology are founded in the cultural, social, political context of the 18th and 19th centuries, at the times of the colonial expansion of the West European countries. Although demarcated by the objects of their study ("primitive societies", the past according to written sources, or material evidence), all these disciplines are grounded in the need to distinguish and strengthen the modern identity of the Europeans as opposed to the Others in space and time.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be one of the main causes of mortality in the western world, however approximately only two-thirds of all episodes can be attributed to traditional environmental and genetic risk factors. Over the past decade it has emerged that a moderate elevation in plasma concentrations of the amino acid homocysteine (tHcy) constitutes a risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease in the coronary, cerebral and peripheral vessels. Furthermore, this association is a graded one with no apparent threshold and is independent of, but may enhance the effect of conventional risk factors. Plasma homocysteine is determined by both genetic and nutritional factors. The B-vitamins folate, B-12 and B-6 all play a key role in homocysteine metabolism and in fact it has been proposed that about two-thirds of all cases of hyperhomocysteinemia are due to an inadequate status of one or all of these vitamins. Of the three, folate appears to be the most important determinant and has been shown to significantly lower homocysteine concentration when administered at doses ranging from 0.2 to 10 mg/d in both healthy and hyperhomocysteinemic subjects. There is considerable variation in the rate of CVD mortality between northern and southern European countries. A common dietary element in regions with lower CVD incidence i.e. southern European countries appears to be the higher consumption of fruit and vegetables. In the past this protective effect of fruit and vegetables has been primarily attributed to antioxidants. Fruit and vegetables are however also one of the main sources of folate in the diet, contributing to more than 30% of total dietary folate intake (even in countries where consumption of fruit and vegetables is low). Thus, in light of the evidence that folate may play a role in primary prevention of CVD via homocysteine-lowering the protective effect of fruit and vegetables may be partly explained by folate.

At the recent EUROCALL conference at the University of Limerick, my co-editor, Graham Chesters, remarked on two very heartening changes in the constituency of EUROCALL conference participants over the past ten years: one was the increasing number of younger teachers and researchers; the other was the multi-national representation, compared to the relatively small number of European countries who made up EUROCALL’s main body of members at the Hull conference in 1993.

The French Revolution

Nationalism as we understand it is not older than the second half of the eighteenth century. Its first great manifestation was the French Revolution, which gave the new movement an increased dynamic force. Nationalism had, however, become manifest at the end of the eighteenth century almost simultaneously in a number of widely separated European countries. Its time in the evolution of mankind had arrived, and although the French Revolution was one of the most powerful factors in its intensification and spread, it was not its date of birth. Like all historical movements, nationalism has its roots deep in the past. The conditions which made its emergence possible had matured during centuries before they converged at its formation. These political, economic, and intellectual developments took a long time for their growth and proceeded in the various European countries at different pace. It is impossible to grade them according to their importance or to make one dependent upon the other. All are closely interconnected, each reacting upon the other; and although their growth can be traced separately, their effects and consequences cannot be separated otherwise than in the analysis of the scholar; in life, they are indissolubly intertwined.

Among the accounts of travels in Spain in the 1st half of the 19th century, there is a rather unknown memoir of Piotr Falkenhagen-Zaleski, written on the basis of his 1843 experiences. This exceptionally capable and flexible emigrant began his career in international trade, having successfully tried his hand at journalism and politics in the past. He became an employee at the Henry Hall department store in London, and then opened his own company of the same sort, establishing contacts in many European countries. The travel to Spain aimed at securing another contract. It appears that he did not achieve this goal. On the other hand, the stay behind the Pyrenees, mainly in Barcelona and Madrid, and the very travel from France to Spain allowed the Polish traveller to become familiar with two elements of the Spanish (political and cultural) reality through an incident with the Carlists and the corrida spectacle. He put those experiences in an interesting, although brief report from Spain.

This article is based on the concept of strategic coordination as formulated by Gary Cox. The first part is a theoretical one: it deals with the theory behind the studies on electoral strategic coordination. The second part, more empirical, examines the voters’ coordination in form of strategic voting. The research encompasses three southern European countries – Spain, Greece and Portugal – in which operate a reinforced proportional electoral system. So, the question is: in what extent does this kind of electoral system stimulate strategic voting? To answer it, an analysis of electoral results at district level is provided. And, in particular, the article focuses on three indicators: the effective number of electoral parties; the percentage of waste votes; the percentage of votes cast for the two main parties. It concludes by discussing the results and by attempting to explain the differences between Spain and the other two countries.

Seismological compilations of the past two centuries have represented one of the main sources of supporting data for the compilers of current parametric earthquake catalogues, On the one hand, their quality and reliability was proved as varied and, in many cases, fairly low; on the other hand, it is not clear whether all the earthquake records they supply have been exploited to become part of the present knowledge of the historical seismicity of some European countries. This paper analyses one of these compilations, Die Erdbeben von Tirol und Vorarlberg, published in 1902 by J. Schorn, which covers an area today shared among Austria, Switzerland and Italy, with the aim of checking its reliability and its usefulness towards a revision of the knowledge on the seismicity of historical "Tyrol".

Abstract The research on territorial reforms on the local level has so far focused on municipal amalgamations. However, less is known about municipal splits – a phenomenon that is less frequent, but that occurred in several European countries in recent decades. This paper deals with municipal splits in Slovakia after 1989, and it examines a set of factors that supported municipalities in their effort to obtain independence. The findings show that the massive wave of splits that began shortly after 1989 was primarily motivated by the aim of reversing the consequences of the amalgamation that had been conducted by the Communist regime. Hence, the question of identity was the main trigger leading to municipal splits. On the other hand, the analysis found that economic factors had only a limited role in the establishing of new municipalities in Slovakia.
