The Technological University of Bahía de Banderas offers the career of Advanced University Technician and Engineering in Renewable Energies. Considering that its program of studies is 70% practical and 30% theory, it is of the utmost importance to have inside a system that serves to perform tests of operation and assembly of hybrid systems (wind, photovoltaic) so that students can acquire the necessary skills to a demanding work field. In addition, a space for solar pumping is contemplated, due to one of the eco-economic areas of the regios; agriculture and livestock, although there are irrigation channels there are remote areas with water needs. It is intended to use equipment, accessories and conditions attached to a common facility in the field of work, so that students when they arrive at a private facility are familiar with real, not theoretical marks, models and diagnoses, as the academic modules normally do. of manufacturers.

This perspective discusses the impact of political economy on the regulation of modern biotechnology. Modern biotechnology has contributed to sustainable development, but its potential has been underexplored and underutilized. We highlight the importance of the impacts of regulations for investments in modern biotechnology and argue that improvements are possible via international harmonization of approval processes. This development is urgently needed for improving sustainable development. Policy makers in the European Union (EU) in particular are challenged to rethink their approach to regulating modern biotechnology as their decisions have far ranging consequences beyond the boundaries of the EU and they have the power to influence international policies.

The use of recycled materials to replace natural and artificial materials represents an interesting and real possibility for all industrial sectors to contribute to the reduction of the amount of waste disposed of and non-renewable resources consumed. This study reports the results of the measurements of the sound absorption coefficient carried out on specimens obtained from the recycling of different materials. A sustainable development of our planet requires us to adopt materials recycling policies to ensure the economical use of resources. Two types of materials have been studied: material obtained from the recycling of plastic bottles, and a material obtained from the recycling of asphalt milled. Both materials showed interesting sound absorption performances covering different frequency ranges.

This article uses the recent concept of ‘creative economy’ to argue in favour of a dynamic and holistic approach to the promotion of the cultural heritage. This implies namely that the heritage is viewed in both its material and intangible forms and as a driver of sustainable development. After an overview of the diverse interpretations, at natioanl, regional and international levels, of the creative economy, the author illustrates how the cultural heritage can benefit from the growing importance given to unlilited, renewable resources for the development of individuals and communities, especially in the developing countries. The article contains, however, words of caution on the negative effects of the creative economy and submits that these can be overcomed by extending the sphere of the cultural heritage to all areas of developement.
