Desde los años setenta el vínculo entre migración y desarrollo ha venidoapareciendo como un importante tema de debate político y científi co.Como muestra de un renovado interés, en el año 2009 el Programa deNaciones Unidas para el Desarrollo publicó el Informe sobre DesarrolloHumano titulado «Superando barreras: movilidad y desarrollohumanos». En este artículo, revisamos algunos de sus datos con el fi nde cuestionar ciertos lugares comunes en torno a la relación entre fl ujosmigratorios internacionales y procesos de desarrollo. Nuestra principalconclusión es que el vínculo entre ambos no se produce en un únicosentido, ni obedece a patrones generalizables, más allá de laconstatación de que son los países con un desarrollo humano mediolos más afectados por la migración, pero también los más benefi ciadospor ésta.

Although Drone technology has a great future, drones are here right now. In fact, drone is one of the current technological devices with the greatest prospects for use. It is estimated that last year the drone business mobilized more than 7 million dollars worldwide in the distribution sector, and that this figure would approach 30 million by 2021. Certainly, although its use is very widespread in the military field, it is in the civil field where its applications, with a broad range of use, presents the greatest challenges, although the actual legal framework reduces its possibilities due to a very restricted use of these devices. Nevertheless, we need to guarantee a safe use and fundamental rights protection in the civil use of drones. Our aim in this paper is to develop an overview on the actual EU legal framework for civil use of drones outlining these challenges, and also on the Spanish regulation as a national case example.

Background: Despite their proven efficacy, family work interventions on families of patients with schizophrenia are not being implemented in routine clinical practice in contexts where expressed emotion levels among caregivers are relatively high. Aims: This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of a family work intervention in a Mediterranean environment in Catalonia, Spain. Method: Participants were 23 patients and 35 key relatives in five different clinical settings. The family intervention was provided by 10 trained health care professionals during a nine-month period. A six-month follow-up was also conducted. Results: Statistically significant improvements were found in patients' clinical status, global functioning and social functioning levels, as well as in caregivers' burden of care. These results were maintained during follow-up. Conclusion: This is the first study to explore the effectiveness of family intervention in a high-expressed emotion context in Catalonia. The findings add weight to the growing literature supporting these interventions in different cultural settings.
