El Llibre de cetreria del vescomte de Rocabertí
2021
Resum: En el present article oferim una edició crítica del Llibre de cetreria, un breu tractat de falconeria escrit en català i conservat en manuscrit únic pertanyent a una col·lecció privada. També n’estudiem l’estructura i el contingut, a més de les relacions amb altres obres de falconeria, especialment les escrites a la Corona d’Aragó. Oferim una hipòtesi sobre la identificació del seu autor i l’època de la composició del tractat. Com que es tracta de l’obra escrita en català que major nombre d’ocells de caça esmenta, a la present edició ens ha semblant oportú de fer una exposició detallada de les aus emprades pels caçadors, com també tota la terminologia que la llengua catalana va desen…
La iconografía en la era digital: hacia una heurística para el estudio del contenido de las imágenes medievales
2014
Este artículo invita a reflexionar sobre la validez de la iconografía como método para describir los temas representados en las obras artísticas medievales. En esta ocasión, se ha puesto un mayor énfasis en investigar sus implicaciones epistemológicas y los sesgos que resultan del proceso de transformar las imágenes en palabras. El objetivo principal es tratar de que aflore la llamada 'brecha semántica', una especie de barrera que impide representar verbalmente un medio no léxico, como es el visual, de manera satisfactoria y sin mermas. Tras un sucinto recorrido por el pensamiento griego, con un especial interés por la écfrasis, se sugiere que el aparente equilibrio entre las capacidades se…
THE OLIGARCH AND THE PAINTBRUSHES: A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF ANDREU GARCIA, PRIEST = EL OLIGARCA Y LOS PINCELES: BREVE SEMBLANZA DEL PRESBÍTERO ANDREU…
2014
The documents regarding the Valencian priest Andreu Garcia († November 1452) show a quite interesting character. Garcia’s family belonged to local oligarchy. Moreover, he had a substantial income related with the Cathedral. He had contact, too, with Carthusians, Observant Friars and probably with Beghards (the books of his library suggest this last idea). Garcia took part, as an intermediary or as a sponsor, in many artistic orders that involved the best workers and the best customers of the city. Besides, he had a strong relationship with painters like Simó Llobregat, Jaume Mateu, Gonçal Sarrià and Joan Reixac. The priest could also have practiced painting, judging by the belongings that w…
Observational Study of Antibiotic Usage at the Children’s Clinical University Hospital in Riga, Latvia
2018
Background and objectives: Many pediatric patients have been treated with antibiotics during their hospitalization. There is a need to improve antibiotic prescribing for pediatric patients because many of these prescriptions are inappropriate. Antibiotic consumption analysis was conducted at the Children&rsquo
Relation between temperature and mortality in thirteen Spanish cities
2010
In this study we examined the shape of the association between temperature and mortality in 13 Spanish cities representing a wide range of climatic and socio-demographic conditions. The temperature value linked with minimum mortality (MMT) and the slopes before and after the turning point (MMT) were calculated. Most cities showed a V-shaped temperature-mortality relationship. MMTs were generally higher in cities with warmer climates. Cold and heat effects also depended on climate: effects were greater in hotter cities but lesser in cities with higher variability. The effect of heat was greater than the effect of cold. The effect of cold and MMT was, in general, greater for cardio-respirator…
The need for harmonizing methodologies for assessing soil threats in Europe
2010
Central to the EU thematic strategy for soil protection is that areas affected by soil degradation through erosion, soil organic matter (SOM) decline, compaction, salinization and landslides should be identified in a clear and consistent way. However, the current methodologies to achieve this often differ and this can result in different perceptions of risks amongst EU Member States. The aims of this paper are to: (i) assess the current status of assessment methodologies in Europe (EU27) associated with erosion, SOM decline, compaction, salinization and landslides and (ii) discuss the issues associated with harmonization of these methodologies throughout the EU27. The need for harmonization…
Water Level Measurement Locations for Coastal Aquifer Management
2003
The coefficient of variation of the optimal cost (CVOC) method is applied to the Acqua dei Corsari coastal aquifer in Sicily's north coast to find the best point for a new water-level measurement location. The purpose of collecting data from the new measurement location is to reduce uncertainty associated with a stochastic management model for salt-water intrusion control. Assuming that uncertainty mainly stems from spatial variability of permeability, the structural parameters of the stochastic spatial permeability field are estimated using data from a nearby aquifer with similar geological properties. It is first shown through sensitivity analysis that the lack of previous information inh…
Moving Ahead from Assessments to Actions by Using Harmonized Risk Assessment Methodologies for Soil Degradation
2010
Almost all developed countries use risk assessment methodologies (RAMs) for the evaluation of risks related to soil degradation, viz. soil organic matter decline, erosion, landslides, salinization and/or compaction. However and for various reasons, seldom the use of such RAMs seldom results in actual measures to combat soil degradation in practice. In this study the current status of RAMs in EU-27 was evaluated and factors hampering the implementation of action plans were explored. To do so we used a so-called risk assessment chain, which describes the five successive steps of any risk assessment for soil threats viz., (1) notion of the threat, (2) data collection, (3) data processing, (4) …
Cuencas de montaña y la construcción de una encuesta interdisciplinaria
2021
Este estudio presentó una reflexión sobre la encuesta como estrategia de investigación social, dentro de un contexto específico, como lo representan las cuencas de montaña. Y más aún, la problemática se enfocó en la recolección de datos que tienen que darse dentro de los sistemas de riego; por esta razón, el objetivo fue la identificación de aquellos aspectos que deben ser tomados en cuenta para la construcción de una encuesta interdisciplinaria en ese contexto. Se realizó una revisión sistemática exploratoria de literatura sobre el tema propuesto y en la región señalada. Los principales hallazgos establecieron la necesidad de que los estudios sobre estos ecosistemas, tienen que tomar en cu…
AUTOMATIC ORGANIZATION OF MULTIMEDIA DATA COLLECTIONS
2014
La fotografia digitale ha avuto uno sviluppo sempre crescente negli ultimi dieci anni. Prima la diminuzione dei prezzi delle apparecchiature di acquisizione e poi l’integrazione di queste nei dispositivi portatili di uso quotidiano (i.e. smartphone, tablet) ha permesso a chiunque di potere creare e conservare semplicemente un enorme numero di immagini. Inoltre l’immagine stessa é diventata uno strumento di comunicazione, portando alla nascita di social networks basati unicamente sulla condivisione di fotografie (flickr, instagram, etc...). La gestione di tali quantitá di dati é quindi diventato un problema reale per molti utenti, in quanto il ritrovamento e l’organizzazione di questi dati é…
