This research critically examines the process of constructing the policy problem of energy exclusion in the Spanish context. Focusing on three case studies of peripheral neighborhoods experiencing extreme energy deprivation, the study adopts a deservingness theory framework to deconstruct the narratives that frame the policy problem and consequently shape policy responses. Using qualitative methods, including qualitative interviews, articles, and policy documents, the research examines the impact of these framings on policy responses to energy exclusion. By analyzing the process of policy problem construction, we explore the fluid boundaries between ‘deserving’ and ‘undeserving’ individuals and communities, thereby challenging established narratives in energy support policies. Our findings highlight the ambiguous nature of deservingness, revealing the complex interplay between neighborhood dynamics, policy interventions, and power actors. The article emphasizes the need for a broader understanding of energy deprivation that goes beyond techno-economic perspectives to include spatial and infrastructural factors.

Neurosciences clinical trials continue to have notoriously high failure rates. Appropriate outcomes selection in early clinical trials is key to maximizing the likelihood of identifying new treatments in psychiatry and neurology. The field lacks good standards for designing outcome strategies, therefore The Outcomes Research Group was formed to develop and promote good practices in outcome selection. This article describes the first published guidance on the standardization of the process for clinical outcomes in neuroscience. A minimal step process is defined starting as early as possible, covering key activities for evidence generation in support of content validity, patient-centricity, validity requirements and considerations for regulatory acceptance. Feedback from expert members is provided, regarding the risks of shortening the process and examples supporting the recommended process are summarized. This methodology is now available to researchers in industry, academia or clinics aiming to implement consensus-based standard practices for clinical outcome selection, contributing to maximizing the efficiency of clinical research.

This research aims to scrutinize, from a tourist perspective, the enhancement of gastronomic offerings produced in Benedictine monasteries. The methodology is divided into two distinct phases. The initial phase entails an analysis of the web pages and the selection of monasteries that produce wine and gastronomic products, which totals 39 monasteries. Subsequently, interviews and question-and-answer forms were conducted at the selected monasteries, yielding a total of 13 responses. The monasteries that answered the questions also underwent a thorough examination of their daily operations, their online presence, the natural world, and their popular tourist spots. Among the many gastronomic products found are wine, liqueurs, beer, grappa, and cider, as well as food products such as olive oil, cheese, mustard, honey, and chocolate. In the majority of the monasteries examined, products are still being produced as a result of their monastic tradition and Benedictine lifestyle. The promotion and sale of these products serve as a source of revenue that is utilized for the upkeep, continuity, and preservation of the abbeys.
