The purpose of this work is to anticipate the most important consequences generated by the installation of a micro-hydropower plant on mountain rivers, on the main components of the environment, and also to identify and locate the potential disruptions caused by the implementation of these projects. In addition, the authors would like to clarify certain aspects regarding the changes brought to the natural setting, the extent to which they affect the components of the environment, the capacity of nature to withstand these micro-hydropower plants and to naturally or artificially recover after the project is put into operation. Another aim is to establish measures for limiting the modifications that appear in time due to the installation of the micro-hydropower plants in order to ensure the good functioning of the respective plants. The main anthropic factors, that represent the subject of the analysis, act synergically, thus making it difficult to understand the impact of this project on the environment, especially since nature recovers itself under certain circumstances.

Abstract. During the last decades, several studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of sexual abuse prevention programs implemented in different countries. In this article, we present a review of 70 studies (1981–2017) evaluating prevention programs, conducted mostly in the United States and Canada, although with a considerable presence also in other countries, such as New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The results of these studies, in general, are very promising and encourage us to continue this type of intervention, almost unanimously confirming its effectiveness. Prevention programs encourage children and adolescents to report the abuse experienced and they may help to reduce the trauma of sexual abuse if there are victims among the participants. We also found that some evaluations have not considered the possible negative effects of this type of programs in the event that they are applied inappropriately. Finally, we present some methodological considerations as critical analysis to this type of evaluations.
