The article titled "GLOBAL RESURGENCE OF THE RIGHT: CONCEPTUAL AND REGIONAL PERSPECTIVES" analyzes the rise of the right worldwide, especially since the 2008 economic crisis and the arrival of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States in 2016. The book examines case studies in different countries and regions, from Europe to Latin America, in order to understand and explain the growth of right-wing forces and leadership at an international level. The totalitarian and punitive component of current neoliberalism is highlighted, as well as inequality as a 21st-century pandemic. The article also mentions the rise of Vox in Spain and its influence on right-wing parties in Latin America. In Western Europe, the rise of the right after 1945 is analyzed, with examples in Austria, Spain, and Italy. In summary, the article offers a global perspective on the phenomenon of the resurgence of the right and its impact on different regions of the world. [Extracted from the article]

Social support networks are a subject of major interest in relation to elderly people. Their effect on allround wellbeing has been extensively shown and they have thus been included among the main objectives, strategies, plans and international recommendations directed towards the elderly population. This study aims to both identify and characterize the bonds of the social support network that provide the most satisfaction in this phase of life, and also to evaluate the support functions that these fulfil, according to the subject's living arrangements. A non-experimental, cross-sectional design was implemented for this descriptive-correlational study. A non-probability/intentional sample of 120 elderly people (aged from 60 to 85) was selected, of both sexes and from three types of living arrangements: living alone, living only with a partner, and living with other family members. A questionnaire of socio-demographic data and the Structured Interview of Social Support Sources (Vaux & Harrison, 1985) was applied to the sample. The results show the central role that children, the partner and friends play in old age. Furthermore, there were statistically significant differences in the bond that gave the most satisfaction according to gender and living arrangements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
