Abstract In the Valencian Community in Spain, the coexistence of Spanish and Catalan as co-official languages and English as a foreign language, which is learned as a third language (L3), shapes a unique multilingual setting. This study examined the extent to which multilingual learners’ use of two interpersonal pragmatic markers (PMs), i.e., hedges (e.g., I believe) and attitude markers (e.g., fortunately), is related across languages and whether the relationship changes over time. Participants were 313 Spanish-Catalan bilingual high school learners of L3 English. They wrote three opinion essays over one academic year in the three languages of instruction: Spanish, Catalan, and English. Quantitative results revealed a trend towards stronger correlations over time in both PMs. At Time 3, correlations were statistically significant for all language pairs in hedges and for two language pairs in attitude markers (Spanish and Catalan, Spanish and English). Qualitative analyses of the learners’ essays lend support to these results and show transfer at the phrase and discourse-level.

Translation is a par excellence cultural communication and translators are agents of cultural transfer by means of language. Literary texts provide the translator with a higher grade of freedom than any other type of texts because of the self-referentiality of art encoded in language. Decoding the original and creating a new body in a different referential system are individual hermeneutic acts of the translator. Deciphering an author’s world is a step closer to the heart of the source culture and an ever-open language-game. The challenges I met translating Irene Solà’s novel gave me a special insight to Catalan culture and the English, Italian and Spanish translations gave me the opportunity to study other translation strategies. This essay is the first in the series of traductography essays centred on the Catalan-Hungarian intercultural communication revealing the processes in the black-box of the translator’s mind that on the one hand can serve as a guide to Catalan culture and, on the other hand, as a basis for further translatology research.

This essay offers a few meditations on what the language and the homeland repre sent for the philosophy. These thoughts are motivated by the publication, in the present issue of Estudios, of the Essays from Catalan by Eduardo Nicol, philosopher who was forced to produce his works not only from exile from his homeland, but in a, to a certain extent, foreign language. The aim, nonetheless, is not to propose the corresponding questions from a particular nationalist point of view, but from a universal metaphysical one, activity to which Nicol devoted himself throughout his entire work.

El aniversario de la publicación de una obra fundamental en la historiografía modernista catalana y española como es Cataluña en la Carrera de Indias de Carlos Martínez Shaw, sirve no sólo para rendir obligado tributo al autor, sino también como punto de partida de un ensayo donde se reflexiona sobre la evolución seguida por una línea de investigación que, abierta por Cataluña en la Carrera de Indias, rindió sus mejores frutos en las dos últimas décadas del siglo pasado y que en la actualidad ha desaparecido de las agendas de investigación de las universidades catalanas, quedando las relaciones entre Cataluña y América a merced de las tergiversadas opiniones de supuestos investigadores. El eclipse de este ámbito de investigación no se debe, en modo alguno al agotamiento de sus fuentes, antes bien, en este trabajo se muestra cómo existen fuentes prácticamente inéditas que permitirían ampliar hacia atrás el marco cronológico de Cataluña en la Carrera de Indias extendiéndolo hacia el siglo XVI.AbstractThe anniversary of the publication of a fundamental work in the Catalan and Spanish historiography of the Early Modern period , Carlos Martínez Shaw’s Cataluña en la Carrera de Indias, serves not only to pay a worthy tribute to the author, but also as the starting point of an essay reflecting on the evolution followed by line of research which, opened by Cataluña en la Carrera de Indias, bore its best results in the last two decades of the last century, but which has currently disappeared from the research agendas of the Catalan universities. Relations between Catalonia and America have thus been left at the mercy of the distorted opinions of supposed researchers. The eclipse of this area of research is not at all due to the drying-up of its sources, and this paper shows that there are practically unpublished sources which would make it possible to extend the time frame of Cataluña en la Carrera de Indias back to the sixteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
This essay is an exploration of Seneca’s influence on the bilingual (Catalan and Castilian) production, including poems and prose works, of Fra Francesc Moner, an extraordinarily talented Catalan writer of the late Middle Ages. After sampling Moner’s pithy renditions of Seneca’s sententious rhetoric, this essay delves into Moner’s assimilation of the salient topics and motifs that distinguish the Stoic philosophical system of Senecan vintage. The essay takes into account, particularly, some points of coincidence between Moner’s senequismo and that of Ausiàs March, the incomparable Valencian poet of the first half of the fifteenth century. An analysis of these coincidences suggests that Moner inherits from March a keen sensitivity to the metaphysical bond between the literary text as an icon of subjectivity and the moment-to-moment unfolding of human existence.

Full textAbstract:
This doctoral thesis aims to investigate the role of human capital in some of the most economically dynamic areas under the control of the Hispanic monarchy. The period covered by this study extends from the 18th century, in regions that formed part of the colonial empire during the Old Regime, or in the peninsula itself during the pre-industrial period, to the creation of the 19th-century mass education systems during the transition to the liberal state. First, this research attempts to contribute to the debate on the role of institutions in human capital formation, transmission and persistence. With this objective in mind, an analysis of the case of the Guarani missions, which were established and led by the Jesuits in the 18th century, was performed. Moreover, it presents new quantitative evidence that encompasses a theoretical framework for reviewing the paradox of human capital and early industrialization in Catalonia from the beginning of the 18th century until the eve of the Civil War. In order to provide new indicators that contribute to a quantitative discussion on economic history, this research focused on the simplest form of human capital: basic literacy (the ability to read and write) and numeracy (the ability to count). After a review of the existing literature linking human capital and economic development in the introduction (Chapter 1), three essays are presented. The first, in Chapter 2, uses the age-heaping methodology to analyse the level of numeracy achieved by the Guarani missions during the 18th century, in which the Jesuits were responsible for educating the indigenous population, within the colonial context of the modern period, and allows for an assessment of the weight of institutions in human capital formation and transmission. The results reveal the high levels of numeracy achieved by the Jesuit missions and a wide diversity of institutions and situations within territories under the colonial rule of the Hispanic kings during the modern period, when the areas with the greatest economic dynamism had some institution that facilitated the transmission of elementary human capital; they also reveal, however, that the more extractive institutions hindered this process. Next, Chapter 3 focuses on Catalonia at the beginning of the 18th century and, using the same age-heaping methodology, examines the level of human capital in a varied sample of Catalan localities and by various occupations and social classes. Early 18th-century Catalonia had arithmetic levels that were relatively high in certain sectors, occupations and social groups and, more importantly, that were comparable to other dynamic areas of Europe. These contributions are consistent with the literature that examined the role that may have been played by useful knowledge in the promotion of innovation in the early phases of the Industrial Revolution to explain how economies embarked upon the path to modern economic growth. The third essay, in Chapter 4, then sets out to study the municipal-scale evolution of literacy rates in Catalonia between 1860 and 1930, for both men and women, in a key period for Catalan society and economy. The results show that in 1860, urban areas of Catalonia had higher literacy rates, although there were notable exceptions, and that the evolution between 1860 and 1900 was marked by a significant improvement that did not lead to increased territorial inequalities unlike the situation in Spain as a whole. Finally, Chapter 5 of the thesis presents some conclusions and proposes that a reassessment of the human capital paradox and early industrialization by means of new quantitative indicators from the European periphery, specifically in the case of Catalonia, may contribute to the debate on the measurement of human capital accumulation and its relationship with economic development.Aquesta tesi doctoral té com a objectiu investigar el paper del capital humà en algunes de les àrees econòmicament més dinàmiques sota el control de la monarquia hispana. El període cobert per aquest estudi s'estén des del segle XVIII, en les regions que van formar part de l'imperi colonial durant l'Antic Règim, o en la mateixa península durant el període preindustrial, fins a la creació dels sistemes d'educació massiva de segle XIX durant la transició a l'estat liberal. En primer lloc, aquesta investigació intent contribuir al debat sobre el paper de les institucions en la formació, transmissió i persistència del capital humà. Amb aquest objectiu, s'ha realitzat una anàlisi del cas de les missions guaranís, establertes i dirigides pels jesuïtes al segle XVIII. A més, es presenten noves proves quantitatives que abasten un marc teòric per revisar la paradoxa el capital humà i la industrialització primerenca a Catalunya des de principis de segle XVIII fins a la vigília de la Guerra Civil. Per tal de proporcionar nous indicadors que contribueixin a un debat quantitatiu sobre la història econòmica, aquesta investigació es va centrar en la forma més simple de capital humà: l'alfabetització bàsica (la capacitat de llegir i escriure) i el càlcul (la capacitat de comptar). Després d'un examen de la bibliografia existent que vincula el capital humà i el desenvolupament econòmic en la introducció (Capítol 1), es presenten tres assajos. El primer, en el capítol 2, utilitza la metodologia de càlcul numèric per edats per analitzar el nivell de coneixements numèrics assolit per les missions guaranís durant el segle XVIII, en què els jesuïtes es van encarregar d'educar a la població indígena, en el context colonial del període modern, i permet avaluar el pes de les institucions en la formació i transmissió del capital humà. Els resultats revelen els alts nivells de capacitat numèrica assolits per les missions jesuítiques i una gran diversitat d'institucions i situacions dins dels territoris sota el domini colonial dels reis hispànics durant el període modern, quan les zones de major dinamisme econòmic comptaven amb alguna institució que facilitava la transmissió del capital humà elemental; també revelen, però, que les institucions més extractives obstaculitzaven aquest procés. A continuació, el capítol 3 se centra en la Catalunya de principis de segle XVIII i, utilitzant la mateixa metodologia de l'època, examina el nivell de capital humà en una variada mostra de localitats catalanes i per diverses ocupacions i classes socials. La Catalunya de principis de segle XVIII tenia nivells aritmètics relativament alts en determinats sectors, ocupacions i grups socials i, el que és més important, eren comparables a altres zones dinàmiques d'Europa. Aquestes contribucions són coherents amb la literatura que va examinar el paper que poden haver exercit els coneixements útils en la promoció de la innovació en les primeres fases de la Revolució Industrial per a explicar com les economies van emprendre el camí cap al creixement econòmic modern. A continuació, el tercer assaig, en el capítol 4, es proposa estudiar l'evolució a escala municipal de les taxes d'alfabetització a Catalunya entre 1860 i 1930, tant d'homes com de dones, en un període clau per a la societat i l'economia catalanes. Els resultats mostren que en 1860, les zones urbanes de Catalunya tenien taxes d'alfabetització més elevades, tot i que amb notables excepcions, i que l'evolució entre 1860 i 1900 es va caracteritzar per una important millora que no va provocar un augment de les desigualtats territorials, a diferència de la situació en el conjunt d'Espanya. Finalment, en el capítol 5 de la tesi es presenten algunes conclusions i es proposa que una reavaluació de la paradoxa el capital humà i de la industrialització primerenca mitjançant nous indicadors quantitatius de la perifèria europea, concretament en el cas de Catalunya, pot contribuir al debat sobre el mesurament de l'acumulació de capital humà i la seva relació amb el desenvolupament econòmic.

In the Catalan public health system, the provision of services through the use of digital health tools has gone hand in hand with the increasing digitalization of society as a whole. Since these services are often implemented on an experimental basis in a search for innovation, and in the absence of a rule governing the adoption of public policies, they may be exempt from a comprehensive analysis of their pros and cons (an economic evaluation). However, digitalization involves the generation of objective evidence: information stored in databases which can be analysed. There has never been so much information of such good quality. As a result, this dissertation aims to evaluate digital health interventions undertaken by the public health system of Catalonia to analyse evidence regarding its efficiency. The compendium of articles, the main part of this document, consists of the evaluation of three interventions (interconsultation, teleconsultation and telemonitoring). It is concluded that certain digital health tools appear to be cost-effective, and it is recommended that they be supported and promoted; others require further evaluation before a decision can be taken as to whether they ought to be included in the provision of public services.Al sistema públic de salut de Catalunya, la provisió de serveis mitjançant eines de salut digital ha anat en paral·lel a la creixent digitalització de l’àmbit personal dels ciutadans. En la mesura que aquests sovint s’implementen amb una voluntat experimental i des de l’òptica de la innovació, i en absència d’una regla d’adopció de polítiques públiques, poden quedar exempts de l’anàlisi integral dels seus pros i contres (l’avaluació econòmica). La digitalització, però, implica la generació d’una evidència objectiva: informació que queda inevitablement emmagatzemada en bases de dades susceptibles de ser analitzades. Mai hi havia hagut tanta i tan bona informació. En aquest context, aquesta tesi té com a objectiu avaluar intervencions de salut digital promogudes pel sistema públic de salut de Catalunya per aportar evidències respecte de la seva eficiència. El compendi d’articles, nucli d’aquest document, es conforma de l’avaluació de tres intervencions (interconsulta, teleconsulta i telemonitorització). Es conclou que algunes eines de salut digital semblen provar ser cost-efectives i es recomana defensar-les i promoure-les; d’altres s’hauran de seguir avaluant per incorporar-les o no en la prestació de serveis públics d’acord amb els seus resultats.

Full textAbstract:
La Catalogne peut-elle etre caractérisée comme nation ou doit-elle demeurer au rang de région ? Ses caractéristiques géo-économiques, mais surtout historiques, ainsi que ses institutions multiséculaires feraient tendre vers la premiere hypothèse. Mais c'est surtout l'existence d'un fait différentiel articulé autour de fortes revendications d'autonomie et surtout autour de la défense de sa langue qui lui confèrent le titre de nation. La Catalogne a resisté pour exister : grâce aux relais de la société civile, fondements du catalanisme, grâce à la capacité de mobilisation de ses organismes politiques, et ce malgré les vicissitudes dues aux dictatures qui se sont acharnées sur son identité et sur ce à quoi elle tient le plus : le catalan. Depuis le décret de Nova Planta jusqu'au retour de la Generalitat avec la transition, en passant par les différents statuts dont elle a pu se doter, elle a su mobiliser sa puissance de revendication et fait entendre sa voix, même au plus profond des siècles de décadence ou des heures sombres du franquisme. Cette voix a souvent pris la forme de la poésie chantee, depuis les troubadours catalans jusqu'aux "cantautors" de la nova canco. La langue s'est maintenue, en depit des interdictions, des abandons, des mepris : lorsqu'elle bénéficiait de créateurs savants, grâce à eux ; lorsqu'elle n'en bénéficiait plus, grâce au peuple qui l'a gardée en vie dans une constante transmission orale, en particulier au moyen du chant, point fort de la culture populaire. Jusqu'à ce qu'un jour le renouveau revienne et que d'autres poètes savants lui redonnent un souffle neuf. Le catalan est redevenu langue officielle. Mais il doit encore lutter et résister face à l'hégémonie des langues mondiales. Pourra-t-il cesser de résister et devenir ce qu'il aspire à être : la langue des six millions de personnes qui vivent en Catalogne ? Saura-t-il résister au second millénaire qui s'amorce ? C'est toute la question des langues qui n'ont pas d'ÉtatCan Catalonia be called a nation, or should it still be considered as a region ? Catalonia's geographical, economic, and above all historical features, together with age-old institutions, would rather confirm the first assumption. Catalonia can be characterized as a nation essentially because of its existing distinctive claim for home rule and the defense of its language. Catalonia has struggled to survive : thanks to its supportive civilian society, the real foundation of catalanism, thanks to the rallying power of its political bodies, in spite of vicissitudes under dictatorial regimes that were bent on destroying its identity, and thanks to what it cares for most: the catalan language. From the decret de Nova Planta to the return of the Generalitat with the transition, through the various statutes it adopted, it managed to mobilize its power to claim and to be heard, even in the darkest ages of decadence or the sombre franco days. This voice often took the form of poetry songs, from the Catalan troubadours to the cantautors of the nova canco. The language survived interdiction, oblivion, contempt thanks to learned creators whenever it could benefit by their talent; when this was not possible, thanks to the people who kept it alive by continuously handing it over orally, mostly by singing, a strong point of popular culture. Until a new revival dawned with other poets breathing new inspiration. Catalan has become the official language again. But it must still fight and resist in front of the threat of domination by worldwide languages. Will this struggle ever end to enable catalan to become, as it longs to be, the language of the six million people living in catalonia ? Will it survive into the second millenium ? That is the question for languages that have no state

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse utilise des expériences quasi-naturelles, historiques et contemporaines, pour aborder de manière causale de grandes questions à la frontière des champs du développement et l’économie politique. En particulier, elle se penche sur les effets à long terme de l’émigration, la formation des identités et des préférences politiques, et les impacts à long terme de la ségrégation scolaire. Le premier chapitre examine les conséquences de l’émigration sur l’accumulation du capital humain, en prenant comme laboratoire la diaspora galicienne formée au début du XXe siècle. En s’appuyant sur des données couvrant plus de cent ans, il fournit les premières preuves d’un impact positif de l’émigration sur les communautés d’origine sur plusieurs générations. Le deuxième chapitre examine si les chocs émotionnels liés aux sports peuvent influencer l’identité et les préférences politiques. En me concentrant sur la Catalogne et le Football Club Barcelona (FCB) comme contexte, je montre empiriquement que les performances du FCB sont directement liées aux sentiments d’identité catalane et au soutien à la sécession. En outre, j’explore les mécanismes qui sous-tendent ce lien et ses possibles implications sur les résultats électoraux. Le troisième chapitre profite d’une grande réforme pendant la dictature de Pinochet, qui a introduit un système des chèques scolaires, pour analyser les effets à long terme de la ségrégation scolaire sur le bien-être subjectif. Les résultats montrent que la réforme a eu des conséquences involontaires, nuisant les enfants issus de familles pauvres qui affichent aujourd’hui, plus de 30 ans plus tard, des niveaux de bien-être subjectif nettement inférieursThis thesis exploits quasi-natural experiments, both historical and contemporary, to provide causal evidence on broad questions at the frontier of the development and political economy literature. In particular, it delves into the long-run effects of emigration, the formation of identities and political preferences, and the long-term impacts of school segregation. The first chapter examines the consequences of emigration for human capital accumulation at origin, taking as a laboratory the Galician diaspora formed at the beginning of the XXth century. Leveraging data spanning over one hundred years, it provides the first evidence of a positive impact of emigration in the communities of origin across several generations. The second chapter investigates whether the emotional trigger of sports can influence identity and political preferences. Focusing on Catalonia and Football Club Barcelona (FCB) as an ideal setting, I show empirically that FCB performance is directly linked with feelings of Catalan identity and support for secession. Furthermore, I explore the mechanisms behind this connection and its potential implications for electoral results. The third chapter takes advantage of a major reform under the Pinochet’s dictatorship, which introduced a system of school vouchers, to analyze the long-term effects of school segregation on subjective well-being. The findings show that the reform had unintended consequences, hurting children from poorer family backgrounds who today, more than 30 years later, have significantly lower levels of life satisfaction

Realise en collaboration avec elf aquitaine, ce travail s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet de recherche modef (modele de deformation) portant sur l'analyse des zones transverses en domaine de deformation distensive ou compressive. La presente etude porte sur le secteur turbon-roda de isabena, dans les pyrenees aragonaises. Il s'agissait notamment d'etablir le role tectonique d'un faisceau de failles et de plis nnw-sse repute correspondre a la rampe laterale occidentale d'un chevauchement subequatorial (chevauchement de boixols), situe plus au sud. Cette etude s'appuie sur differents moyens analytiques: - une bibliographie thematique, - une etude de photos aeriennes aboutissant a une carte morphostructurale, - une analyse systematique de sites structuraux, avec traitement informatique de donnees, ainsi que des phenomenes tectono-sedimentaires permettant l'elaboration d'un calendrier precis de la deformation. Des modelisations analogiques ont complete ce travail permettant de restituer partiellement l'evolution de ce secteur au sein de l'edifice pyreneen. En ce qui concerne le calendrier tectonique, il montre: - une distension proche de e-w dans le cretace superieur, - une compression proche de nw-se probablement d'age maastrichtien, - l'existence d'une compression ne-sw synchrone de l'ilerdien inferieur, - la predominance d'une tectonique decrochante avec un axe compressif nw-se, et un axe distensif ne-sw, tous deux horizontaux a partir de l'ilerdien superieur. Une etude statistique microtectonique effectuee dans d'autres secteurs de l'unite sud-pyreneenne confirme, a une echelle plus vaste, cette dualite d'evenements compressifs nw-se et ne-sw. En ce qui concerne l'aspect rampe laterale deux elements semblent a considerer: - le role de l'heritage: le fait que cette bande s'inscrive a l'aplomb d'une ligne de forte variation d'epaisseur des depots cretaces, vraisemblablement due a des jeux de failles normales, suggerent une origine heritee. Ceci est conforte par l'analyse des modeles analogiques prenant en compte cet heritage, notamment en ce qui concerne la cogenese de structures n-s et e-w. - la complexite de cette zone. En effet, si jusqu'a l'ilerdien inferieur, le jeu dextre avere par le faisceau de failles nnw-sse est compatible avec le deplacement frontal de l'unite de boixols, a partir de l'ilerdien moyen le jeu senestre est contraire a l'avancee vers le sud de la serie decollee. Cet evenement tectonique voit apparaitre en grand nombre des failles normales e-w. En conclusion, cette etude avance deux hypotheses de travail concernant l'evolution geodynamique des pyrenees et de l'iberie en integrant d'une part la notion d'heritage et d'autre part le caractere pendulaire des episodes compressifs nw-se et ne-sw

Full textAbstract:
Les zones de subduction sont les endroits les plus sismiquement actifs du monde et sont également le siège de méga-tremblement de Terre comme celui qui frappa le Chili en 1960 d’une magnitude estimée à 9.5. Les dernières grandes ruptures ayant frappées le Chili ont permis de mettre en évidence des intéractions sismiques-asismiques complexes. Afin d’étudier ces interactions nous nous sommes penchés sur deux crises sismiques : l’essaim sismique d’Avril 2017 ; la phase préparatoire du séisme d’Iquique (M w 8.1) du 1er Avril 2014. L’essaim sismique qui pris place près de la ville de Valparaiso dans une région connue pour avoir eu l’expérience de très grands séismes par le passé en 1730 et en 1906 notamment. Dans le but d’étudier la dynamique de cet essaim nous avons construit un catalogue riche de plus de 2000 séisme composant la séquence. Une activité sismique intense commença deux jours avec le séisme principal de la séquence M w 6.9 et fut accompagné par un glissement progressif le long de l’interface que nous avons observé à la fois dans les données GPS mais également à l’aide de repeaters. Enfin, un séisme de magnitude 8,2, survenu le 1er avril 2014 près de la ville de Iquique, a rompu un tiers de la lacune sismique au nord du Chili. Cet séisme a été précédé d’une séquence d’essaims sismiques précurseurs qui semblent avoir été également accompagnés par des glissements stables de l’interface de subduction. A l’aide d’un catalogue de séisme plus complet, nous avons pu analyser finement la préparation du séisme d’Iquique. Nous mettons en évidence, à travers une approche statistique, l’apparition d’une quiescence sismique dans la région du choc principale. Nous lions cette quiescence à un glissement asismique profond potentiellement relié à la circulation de fluide sous pression le long de l’interface de subductionThe subduction zones are the most seismically active places in the world and are also the seat of megathrust-earthquakes such as the one that stroke Chile in 1960 with a magnitude estimated at 9.5. The last major ruptures in Chile have revealed complex seismic-aseismic interactions. In order to study these interactions, we investigated on at two seismic crises: the seismic swarm of April 2017; the preparatory phase of the Iquique earthquake (M w 8.1) from April 1 st , 2014. The seismic swarm took place near the city of Valparaiso in an area known to have experienced mega-earthquakes in the past: in 1730 and in 1906. In order to study the dynamics of this swarm we have built a rich catalog of more than 2000 earthquakes composing the sequence. An intense seismic activity began on April 22 nd , two days before the main earthquake of the sequence M w 6.9 and was accompanied by a gradual slip along the interface that we observed both in the GPS data and using repeating-earthquakes. Our analysis suggest that the swarm was driven by aseismic slip. The second study concerns an earthquake of mag-nitude 8.2 which occurred on April 1 st 2014 near the city of Iquique and broke one-third of the seismic gap in northern Chile. This earthquake was preceded by a sequence of precursor seismic swarms that appeared to have been accompanied by stable slip in the subduction interface as well. By building a more complete earthquake catalog, we were able to thoroughly analyze the preparation of the Iquique earthquake. We show, following a statistical approach, the occurrence of a large-scale seismic quiescence in the region of the mainshock. We link this quiescence to a downdip transient-slip potentially related to fluid channeling along the subduction interface

Full textAbstract:
Magris appears so often in the Spanish national press as to make it nearly impossible to be exhaustive. It is very difficult and complicated to talk about Claudio Magris’ presence in Spain and the presence of Spain in his journalistic articles within a limited space. Therefore, the current essay focuses on some of his most important contributions, starting with his first interventions and relationships with the main newspapers, magazines and writers, as well as the editions of volumes in Castilian and Catalan, and the awards he has won. Magris is a fundamental point of reference for the intellectual world in Spain, where he is never perceived as a foreigner, let alone a stranger.

Full textAbstract:
Humans learned to talk a thousand years ago, but our written abilities are more modern. Technological progress—from writing to digitalization—have crucially changed the way we communicate with each other. Yet, research about linguistic uses, which happens under the area of sociolinguistics, is only a modern phenomenon. In fact, the concept sociolinguistics was only coined in 1949. In the Catalan culture, the first sociolinguistic studies took the form of anti-Franco essays. It was only during the late 1960s that these essays took a sociological dimension thanks to Lluís-Vicent Aracil and Rafael-Lluís Ninyoles. Nowadays, in a context of increasing multidisciplinary approaches, Catalan sociolinguistic studies have become a hybrid field. For the discipline, the main challenge that lies ahead is how find its own perspective and how to incorporate theoretical and methodological tools without eroding the goal of sustaining a collective identity, which is the ultimate purpose that led to its foundation.

This essay explores how Catalan traders repurposed the commercial techniques and patterns of human deployment used to create their country’s Mediterranean merchant empire in the late medieval period, to generate important trade networks in the Atlantic basin starting in the 18th century. After explaining the dynamics of this new, but simultaneously old, transatlantic system, it zeroes in on one of the key nodes of the network, Uruguay, and explores how successive generations of Catalans shaped the development of that country’s culture in fundamental ways.

In his essay, Architecture and Construction,Uruguayan engineer Eladio Dieste recalls a conversation in which a former colleague dismissed the work of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí stating that “Gaudi’s work has nothing do with us — in fact, I wouldn’t know how to draw one of his buildings”.2 This statement highlights what Dieste called the “tyranny of the drawing board” and the resulting technological dominance of planar geometries inmost modern and contemporary architecture.This dominance has had an effect on the separation between material knowledge and the conditions that shape the relationship among geometry, material, and labor.

RESUMO: A pretensão de uma indústria construtiva mais sustentável reflete na adoção de condutas como a minimização do consumo de matérias-primas, otimização dos recursos naturais e da utilização de novas e diversas tecnologias construtivas que possam reduzir os impactos ambientais gerados na produção de edificações. A Moradia Universitária do Cerrado (MUC), moradia estudantil, pertencente à Universidade Federal de Catalão (Em implantação) e foi construída pleiteando atender vários critérios, de modo a garantir a sustentabilidade desde a fase de projetos até a pós-ocupação do edifício. Visando mensurar as práticas sustentáveis das construções a Caixa Econômica Federal, lançou o programa Selo Casa Azul + CAIXA, estabelecendo critérios e verificando a gradação em quatro níveis (bronze, prata, azul e diamante). Ante ao exposto, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo verificar, caso fosse possível a certificação de obras públicas no programa, em qual gradação se enquadra a MUC, conforme os critérios estabelecidos pelo Selo. O estudo tem o intuito de demonstrar as beneficies desse tipo de construção e a conscientização da comunidade acadêmica quanto a essa vertente. Após análises dos parâmetros estabelecidos pelo programa, conferiu-se o Selo Bronze para a construção, sendo possível a gradação Prata, caso seja implantadas novas atividades após a ocupação do prédio.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: O gênero Bacillus é considerado um grupo altamente heterogêneo de bactérias, catalogadas em 268 diferentes tipos de espécies e 7 subespécies, tem formato de bastonete e pertence a família Bacilaceae. Ações dessa bactéria não se limitam à promoção da saúde humana, se estendem a macro benefícios no ecossistema e, a consolida como ferramenta no combate ao desequilíbrio ambiental. Mediante os expressivos benefícios, algumas espécies se tornaram foco de relevantes estudos, como o Bacillus subtilis. Essa espécie possui características categóricas, como, pertencem as rizobactérias Gram-positivas e promotoras de crescimento de plantas, termófila, saprófita, produz catalase positiva, não patogênica e capaz de realizar esporulação para manutenção de sua demanda metabólica e inibe a esporulação de fungos. Além disso, sintetiza biossurfactantes e antibióticos com diversas aplicabilidades biotecnológicas, principalmente na biorremediação de solos e água contaminados. O B. subtilis expressa algumas características antimicrobianas, incluindo antifúngicas, e até mesmo nematicidas, esta última característica foi a menos subestimada, considerando as aplicações de tratamento para doenças de nematoides. Enfatizando a produção dos diversos antibióticos, entre eles, lantibióticos e outros, gerados de forma não ribossômica, outras substâncias secundárias, como os compostos policetídeos com propriedade farmacológica, conhecida popularmente por claritromicina e azitromicina. Um exemplo de antibiótico polipeptídico produzido pelo B.subtilis é a bacitracina. Objetivo: Elucidar a ação antimicrobiana e biossurfactantes do B.subtilis, caracterizando-as como propriedades singulares de seu metabolismo que contribuem na síntese de produtos biotecnológicos sem acometer o meio ambiente. Metodologia: Revisão bibliográfica sistemática em sites como: Pubmed, scielo e sciencedirect, utilizando os descritores: “Bacillus subtilis”, “biossurfactantes” e “antimicrobianos”. Resultados: Através da revisão literária foi possível observar um padrão das informações a respeito do Bacillus subtilis que foram tanto como estáveis em suas relações como de suas causalidades, gerando uma nova visão à biotecnologia a favor da vida. Conclusão: Partindo da premissa de que o B.subtilis é uma espécie promotora do equilíbrio da biocenose, essa revisão possibilitou unir informações à nova perspectiva da capacidade promotora do seus metabólitos, principalmente os biossurfactantes e os antimicrobianos que possuem inúmeras aplicabilidades biotecnológica e, a sua coexistência para o fazer o bem à biocenose.
