Se ha realizado la revisión de ejemplares de Plagiomnium T. Kop., en la Península Ibérica, registrados en los Herbarios de España, Portugal y Francia, así como en algunas colecciones privadas. Siete taxones de Plagiomnium están representados en España: P. affine, P. cuspidatum, P. elatum, P. ellipticum, P. medium subsp. medium, P. rostratum y P. undulatum, y en Portugal cuatro taxones: P. affine, P. medium subsp. mediurn, P. rostratum y P. undulatum. En Mallorca (Illes Balears), queda excluido P. cuspidatum y P. elatum es nuevo para estas islas. P. undulatum, P. affine y P. rostratum son las especies más comunes en los bosques y zonas montañosas de la Península; P. cuspidatum y P. elatum son frecuentes en la mitad septentrional de España, siendo muy escasos en la parte meridional; los más raros son: P. ellipticum y P. medium subsp. medium, que están restringidos a los hábitats mesofíticos, suelos oligotrofos y húmedos de Pirineos, Cordillera Cantábrica y el piso supra-oromediterráneo de los Montes de Cataluña, Sistema Ibérico septentrional (Macizo de La Demanda) y Sistema Central. Se aportan fotografías de las esporas al SEM de P. affine, P. medium subsp. medium, P. rostratum y P. undulatum así como los mapas de distribución de cada taxon.

The in-service teacher trainer: profile, career path and duties

This article is the result of a doctoral thesis that aims to understand the reality of teacher trainers at a given moment, when their professional role changes from being a managing training advisor to a role that is more centred on process counselling. Using in-depth interviews, we defined the personal and professional profile of training counsellors in the Balearic Islands, their career path, the process for their inclusion in Teacher Centres (CEP) and, finally, the duties and skills that they perform as teacher trainers. The data that has been collected shows the coexistence of different professional roles in the group of education advisors. Moreover, it also indicates a lack of definition of the profile needed to access an advisor's position. There are indeed some coincidences determining the access route to such a position when it comes to the teaching profession since their leadership qualities and group dynamics expertise are a common indicator in most cases. The research also shows that they are subjected not only to a wide range of roles and tasks but also to a vast array of competences required to tackle the education advisor's tasks.

A new teaching category at the Spanish University of Franco’s regime: the appearance on the scene of the senior lecturer

The Law of 17 July 1965 on the structure of university faculties and their teaching staff placed the figure of the university senior lecturer on stage. During the sixties, the gestation process, adoption and subsequent integration of the new figure in the academic pyramid did not escape controversy, leading to a complex phenomenon to which, however, non comprehensive studies have been devoted to reveal: how, when, why and under which conditions this teacher appeared in the Spanish University of Franco’s regime. This paper aims to provide an overview of the process of materialization of the senior lecturer, the legislative framework that definitely established this new educational category and the provisions that were in charge of regulating the processes to get tenure. Also, the first approved aggregate endowments and their distribution among universities, colleges and studies will be discussed. Finally, it was a first approach to the possible motivations that led to the creation of this new educational category in a university afflicted by serious problems waiting for a solution that had been delayed sine die. Asimismo, se analizarán las primeras dotaciones de agregados aprobadas y la distribución de las mismas por universidades, facultades y estudios. Para terminar, se realiza un primer acercamiento a las posibles motivaciones que condujeron a la creación de esta nueva figura docente en una universidad aquejada de graves problemas que esperaban a una solución que venía demorándose sine die.

Relation of the work of the artist Antonio Lopez with the photography. Methods of a teacher rejected as a professor

In 1966 the artist Antonio Lopez was rejected for the chair in “Preparatorio de colorido” (Preparatory Colouring) by the San Fernando School of Fine Arts where he himself presented his work Nevera de hielo (Ice Box). After 5 years as a “stand in” for this post he left the Institution. This article analyzes the circumstances and proof of a decade where there appears to be evidence of a definite change in his work, more toward Realism, uncomfortable in a system that maintained with difficulty the traditional academic model copy, and incompatible with, in those years was imposed by Spain. At the same time his relation with photography conditioned by the theoretical thoughts of the artist, and his work methods also are analyzed in this article.
