Redes sociales y negocios. La red de inversión del Banco de Barcelona en la economía catalana a mediados del siglo XIX

The appearance of the Banco de Barcelona involved the formation of an investment compact network between its directors. In this work we studied how this investment network grew within a larger one, the one formed by the major investors in Catalonia during the period 1815-1866, as well as the role played by the top executives of the Bank inside it. Our findings indicate that some of the directors of the Bank held a central position in the main Catalan investors" network. This important role guaranteed reliable information on the progress of businesses. This information not only favored the operations of the institution, but also allowed its directors to take investment decisions inside the network. Moreover, the Bank interconnects individuals who were associated with different investors" sectors, which made the institution coalesced around an investing core with different important influences and connections.

Els erudits rossellonesos del segle XIX i Jacint Verdaguer. Codis disponibles: estudis, gramà tiques i diccionaris

Com és que Jacint Verdaguer fou reconegut com a poeta nacional al Rosselló? Com és que Canigó tingué una recepció tan favorable de part rossellonesa? Què féu que els rossellonesos anomenessin Jacint Verdaguer el seu Mistral? És un mèrit indiscutible de Verdaguer haver provocat amb el poema Canigó el renaixement català al Rosselló i el desvetllament literari de la nostra llengua allí (Torrent, 1993: 195 i 202-203); tanmateix, abans que fos així l’èxit d’aquesta empresa no havia pas de semblar ben assegurat.

Estudio geoeléctrico de la depresión de la Selva (Girona)

Mediante la interpretación de una campaña de sondeos eléctricos se caracterizan las resistividades del Neogeno de la depresión de La Selva así como su potencia. En general estas resistividades están comprendidas entre 10 y 30 0hm.m característicos, en general, de formaciones predominantemente arcillosas. La presencia de materiales arcósicos y de basaltos en el Plioceno se caracteriza por resistividades superiores. El mapa de isobatas del basamento resistivo paleozoico muestra la irregularidad del fondo de la cubeta, destacando zonas deprimidas con potencias de sedimentos neógenos de más de 300 m separadas por umbrales en 1os que el basamento está a muy poca profundidad.

Population-based incidence of myeloid malignancies: fifteen years of epidemiological data in the province of Girona, Spain

Myeloid malignancies (MMs) are a heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies presenting different incidence, prognosis and survival.1–3 Changing classifications (FAB 1994, WHO 2001 and WHO 2008) and few available epidemiological data complicate incidence comparisons.4,5 Taking this into account, the aims of the present study were: a) to calculate the incidence rates and trends of MMs in the Province of Girona, northeastern Spain, between 1994 and 2008 according to the WHO 2001 classification; and b) to predict the number of MMs cases in Spain during 2013. Data were extracted from the population-based Girona Cancer Registry (GCR) located in the north-east of Catalonia, Spain, and covering a population of 731,864 inhabitants (2008 census). Cases were registered according to the rules of the European Network for Cancer Registries and the Manual for Coding and Reporting Haematological Malignancies (HAEMACARE project). To ensure the complete coverage of MMs in the GCR, and especially myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a retrospective search was performed. The ICD-O-2 (1990) codes were converted into their corresponding ICD-O-3 (2000) codes, including MDS, polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) as malignant diseases. Results of crude rate (CR) and European standardized incidence rate (ASRE) were expressed per 100,000 inhabitants/year

Técnicas de estudio en estudiantes de Secundaria que asisten a clases extraescolares en la provincia de Girona
