Summary. Olive oil and fish products from the south of Hispania and North Africa played an important role in the Roman economy. The authors call attention to the asymmetrical distribution of archaeological data available on this subject, in particular the location of amphora kilns, and try to give an explanation, based on the evolution of European archaeology in the twentieth century.

Un deis principals problemes que existeixen avui en dia en I'estudi de la Terra Sigillata Hispanica és la manca d'una base correcta per a suportar les datacions proposades. Malgrat les discusions que entorn de la cronologia es plantegen actualment, el verdader problcma es troba en la seva base, donat que aquesta s'ha fonamentat sobre excavacions realitzades sense les condicions metodologiques necessaries.

Les excavacions realitzades a la Cerdanya han proporcionat l'evidencia arqueologica de la possible existencia d'una producció local de TSH, que inc10u les fonnes tradicionals i d'altres formes noves. Per tal de contrastar aquesta hipotesi, s'ha desenvolupat un estudi arqueometric per FRX i DRX. EIs resultats mostren l'existencia de diverses produccions desconegudes fins el present, sense que cap deis materials estudiats hagin pogut associar-se al taller d' Abella ni a les produccions de l'area de Tricio. Aquestes noves produccions ofereixen, a més, una important diversitat tecnologica.

Les actuacions arqueologiques portades a terme des dels anys se tanta a la ciutat de Badalona, han permes posar al descobert una part important d'estructures corresponents a la ciutat romana de Baetulo. A partir d'aquestes excavacions, l' analisi específica de la ceramica terra sigillata documentada en determinats contextos estratigrafics, on aquest tipus ceramic és l'element basic de datació, ens ha permes realitzar una revisió de les cronologies proposades inicialment per a aquests estrats i per a les estructures associades. Aquesta revisió, que afecta el període que va del regnat d' August fms a epoca flavia, ha suposat la clarificació del material de terra sigillata recuperat i, en alguns casos, la modificació de la interpretació de la seqüencia estratigrafica i la se va datació.

Per parlar deis drets de la Terra ens preguntem primer qui és la Terra i ens adonem que no estem parlant d' una massa compacta indiferenciada, separada de nosaltres mateixos, sinó al contrari, estem fent referencia a una totalitat magnífica. Vista de lluny, és gairebé rodona, de color blau, verd, ocre ... amb núvols blancs; vista de prop, formada per una diversitat meravellosa d'éssers que estan vivint amb interdependencia els uns amb els altres. Així, parlar deis drets de la Terra vol dir parlar deis drets de les muntanyes, de les glaceres mil-lenaries i deis cims d'intens silenci, de les cascades, de les valls verdes i els prats coberts de flors silvestres. Deis rius i rierols, deis llacs i els aqüífers, de la mar i del sol fertil que alimenta i acull.

L’alta taxa d’atur juvenil a Catalunya i la precarització persistent del mercat laboral per als joves, han provocat que molts d’ells es plantegin marxar a l’estranger per a provar sort. Segons l’INE, al 2012 van emigrar 10791 catalans i el 35,7% són joves d’entre 16 i 34 anys. El Regne Unit va ser la tercera destinació preferida, amb 958 catalans emigrants reconeguts. La globalització ha difuminat les fronteres i ha obert els horitzons a empreses i treballadors. Les experiències internacionals són cada cop més necessàries si volem formar part d’aquest món, però tenen les seves contrapartides. La present investigació estudia el cas de 10 joves catalans amb titulacions universitàries que han marxat a Londres a la recerca d’aquesta experiència internacional, tot desitjant assentar les bases d’una carrera professional exitosa. El focus d’estudi és conèixer les motivacions de l’emigració que han trobat a la ciutat anglesa i quines són les expectatives de futur

The Atlas Mountains in Morocco are considered as type examples of intracontinental chains, with high topography that contrasts with moderate crustal shortening and thickening. Whereas recent geological studies and geodynamic modeling have suggested the existence of dynamic topography to explain this apparent contradiction, there is a lack of modern geophysical data at the crustal scale to corroborate this hypothesis. Newly-acquired magnetotelluric data image the electrical resistivity distribution of the crust from the Middle Atlas to the Anti-Atlas, crossing the tabular Moulouya Plain and the High Atlas. All the units show different and unique electrical signatures throughout the crust reflecting the tectonic history of development of each one. In the upper crust electrical resistivity values may be associated to sediment sequences in the Moulouya and Anti-Atlas and to crustal scale fault systems in the High Atlas developed during the Cenozoic times. In the lower crust the low resistivity anomaly found below the Mouluya plain, together with other geophysical (low velocity anomaly, lack of earthquakes and minimum Bouguer anomaly) and geochemical (Neogene-Quaternary intraplate alkaline volcanic fields) evidence, infer the existence of a small degree of partial melt at the base of the lower crust. The low resistivity anomaly found below the Anti-Atlas may be associated with a relict subduction of Precambrian oceanic sediments, or to precipitated minerals during the release of fluids from the mantle during the accretion of the Anti-Atlas to the West African Supercontinent during the Panafrican orogeny ca. 685 Ma).

Background: Myotragus balearicus was an endemic bovid from the Balearic Islands (Western Mediterranean) that became extinct around 6,000-4,000 years ago. The Myotragus evolutionary lineage became isolated in the islands most probably at the end of the Messinian crisis, when the desiccation of the Mediterranean ended, in a geological date established at 5.35 Mya. Thus, the sequences of Myotragus could be very valuable for calibrating the mammalian mitochondrial DNA clock and, in particular, the tree of the Caprinae subfamily, to which Myotragus belongs. Results: We have retrieved the complete mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (1,143 base pairs), plus fragments of the mitochondrial 12S gene and the nuclear 28S rDNA multi-copy gene from a well preserved Myotragus subfossil bone. The best resolved phylogenetic trees, obtained with the cytochrome b gene, placed Myotragus in a position basal to the Ovis group. Using the calibration provided by the isolation of Balearic Islands, we calculated that the initial radiation of caprines can be dated at 6.2 ± 0.4 Mya. In addition, alpine and southern chamois, considered until recently the same species, split around 1.6 ± 0.3 Mya, indicating that the two chamois species have been separated much longer than previously thought. Conclusion: Since there are almost no extant endemic mammals in Mediterranean islands, the sequence of the extinct Balearic endemic Myotragus has been crucial for allowing us to use the Messinian crisis calibration point for dating the caprines phylogenetic tree.

Over the past two decades, several fungal outbreaks have occurred, including the high-profile 'Vancouver Island' and 'Pacific Northwest' outbreaks, caused by Cryptococcus gattii, which has affected hundreds of otherwise healthy humans and animals. Over the same time period, C. gattii was the cause of several additional case clusters at localities outside of the tropical and subtropical climate zones where the species normally occurs. In every case, the causative agent belongs to a previously rare genotype of C. gattii called AFLP6/VGII, but the origin of the outbreak clades remains enigmatic. Here we used phylogenetic and recombination analyses, based on AFLP and multiple MLST datasets, and coalescence gene genealogy to demonstrate that these outbreaks have arisen from a highly-recombining C. gattii population in the native rainforest of Northern Brazil. Thus the modern virulent C. gattii AFLP6/VGII outbreak lineages derived from mating events in South America and then dispersed to temperate regions where they cause serious infections in humans and animals.

Essay on the origin, use and development of the arcuated lintel in ancient Rome and the configuration of the so– called ‘Serlian motif’. These architectural elements will be related to the architecture of prestige on its technical, functional, visual and symbolic sphere. Its depictions, in addition to buildings, can offer a rich repertory of images that speak about the relations between visual culture, religion and power. Furthermore, the analyzed motifs will become important elements of the Western cultural legacy for centuries. The analysis of these events will contribute to the comprehension of the role played by some resources of ancient Rome architecture of prestige and its success
