Coincidencias y disparidades entre los propietarios. El regadío valenciano del siglo XIX

2003

Recent developments in socio-economic research have centred on the key periods of the Liberal Revolution and state building in Spain, focusing on the analysis of specific landowners. This article discusses the theoretical issues raised by this type of analysis. The authors argue the importance of this method in view of the inadequacy of structure-based analysis of class, experience, interest and action Instead, attention should be paid not only to the simple fact of landowners hip, but to a series of simultaneous and opposite circumstances in terms of income, seigneurial rights and privileges, political traditions and abilities, and relations between landlords and tenants. The main elements…

Anverso y reverso de la nación: el discurso de la antiespañolada durante los primeros años 40

2015

During the immediate postwar years, different voices from the new francoist regime produced a discourse relatively spontaneous but, at the same time, recognizable enough addressed to denounce what they considered as an unacceptable deformation of the Spanishness. Basically, and in spite of the ideological differences amongst its producers, the critic raised from a common and painful nationalism which pointed at the foreign look —specially, the French romantic look— as creator and supporter of what they called España de pandereta. This look supposed a distortion and mystification of Spain as a picturesque nation that resulted in the españolada. The aim of this article is to explore this disc…

Slimnīcas pedagoģija kā ilgtermiņa skolas vecuma pacientu izglītības risinājums

2021

Slimnīcu pedagoģija ir izglītības daļa, kas pēdējo gadu laikā ir ļoti attīstījusies. Tā ietilpst iekļaujošās izglītības jomā, jo tās galvenais mērķis ir nodrošināt slimiem bērniem piekļuvi kvalitatīvai izglītībai, ievērojot principu "izglītība visiem". Tomēr tā ir disciplīna, kurai vēl ir tāls ceļš ejams, jo ne visās valstīs tā pastāv vienādi. Šmaģistra darbs kalpo, lai tuvāk iepazītu slimnīcu pedagoģiju, gan vispārīgāk par tās situāciju juridiskā līmenī, gan konkrētāk par Spāniju un Latviju, aplūkojot tās situāciju sociālā un tuvākā aspektā. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir padarīt slimnīcu pedagoģiju sabiedrībā redzamāku, lai motivētu cilvēkus vairāk uzzināt un pētīt šo tēmu, jo tā ir būtiska gan iz…

The treatment of madness in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: discourses about curability in Spanish mental health care, 1890-1917

2016

Resumen En el trabajo se estudian los discursos sobre la cura que elaboraron los médicos mentalistas españoles en la transición del siglo XIX al XX. Si en las décadas de los años 1870 y 1880 el discurso preponderante promulgado por los médicos pertenecientes a instituciones privadas era extremadamente optimista, posteriormente cambió y se orientó hacia un mayor pesimismo terapéutico. Sin embargo, dadas las necesidades profesionales de los frenópatas, siguieron mostrando una confianza más o menos firme hacia las capacidades terapéuticas de la psiquiatría. La recepción de las nuevas nosologías, como la de Kraepelin, estuvo condicionada, en parte, por la actitud hacia la cura de los médicos me…

Inmates of the mid nineteenth-century Valencian asylum 'Hospital dels Ignoscents, Folls e Orats'. Is their illness diagnosable?

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 IMPACT OF FIRE ON REDISTRIBUTION OF SOIL ORGANIC MATTER ON A MEDITERRANEAN HILLSLOPE UNDER MAQUIA VEGETATION TYPE

2010

Soil organic matter (SOM) changes affect the CO2 atmospheric levels and is a key factor on soil fertility and soil erodibility. Fire affects ecosystems and the soil properties due to heating and post-fire soil erosion and degradation processes. In order to understand fire effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) balance research was undertaken on a fire-prone ecosystem: the Mediterranean maquia. The spatial distribution of SOC was measured in a Burnt site 6 months after a wildfire and in a Control site. Samples were collected at two different depths (0–3 and 3–10 cm) and SOC was determined. The results show that 41·8 per cent of the SOC stock was lost. This is due to the removal of the burnt ma…

Concise review of interrill erosion studies in SE Spain (Alicante and Murcia): erosion rates and progress of knowledge from the 1980s

2005

From the 1980s onward studies on interrill soil erosion were intensified in SE Spain. The main achievements of the research carried out in the field areas of Alicante and Murcia concern: first, (1) the estimation of erosion rates directly in the field under a wide range of methodologies, different scales and different environmental conditions; (2) estimations based on existing models, such as the USLE, carried out for different subcatchments of the Segura and Júcar catchments; and (3) other parametric and physical event-based models have also been calibrated and validated. Second, the progress of the knowledge in understanding erosion mechanisms. New and reviewed concepts regarding mainly h…

Asthma attributable to atopy: does it depend on the allergen supply?

2007

The use of the population attributable fraction (PAF) of asthma owing to atopy has not been widely used in epidemiological studies on childhood asthma, especially to compare regions of the same country. The present study includes 1039 children from Cartagena, Spain (Mediterranean coast) and 663 from Madrid (centre of Spanish plateau) using the ISAAC phase II methodology (questionnaire and prick test to the most common allergens). While there were no differences in asthma symptoms between school children (aged 10–11 yr) from Madrid and Cartagena, atopy to any allergen was significantly higher in those from Madrid (40.9% vs. 29.3%, respectively, p < 0.0001). However, children from Madrid were…
