Ciència catalana a Madrid: el discurs de Jesús M. Bellido Golferichs a la Biblioteca Nacional (1927)

We analyze Dr. Bellido"s discourse at the Spanish National Library in Madrid (1927) in the framework of what has been called Medical Catalanism. Further development of this case study will provide a better understanding of Catalan as a scientific language, the importance of the role played by Catalan publishing industry and the cultural and political relationship between Madrid and Barcelona.

'Making Science Understandable'. Divulgació científica i mediació editorial: el cas de The Wisdom of the Body de Walter B. Cannon (1871-1945)

The present paper aims at an historical reconstruction, in the framework of the publishing industry in the years between the two World Wars, of the role played by the publisher William W. Norton in the genesis, published in 1932, and new edition in 1938, of Walter B. Cannon"s book The Wisdom of the Body. With the analysis of this case study, we aimed at contributing to the current criticism of the «dominant view», which tries, in an uncritical manner, that scientific popularization follows an ineluctable, continuous and linear evolution.

AV40 - Técnicas de rediseño. Prototipos virtuales

Rediseño de una tabla de planchar ropa aplicando diferentes técnicas de metodología de diseño de productos

Equip per a la recuperació de fluids d'un automòbil

El projecte defineix un equip per a l'extracció de fluids d'un vehicle fora d'ús. Aquest extreu per separat els combustibles, els olis, el líquid de frens i l'anticongelant. El sistema d'extracció es realitza per una bomba de buit, a partir del buit creat en un calderí hi entra el líquid corresponent per diferència de pressió i conduint els líquids als dipòsits d'emmagatzematge. L'equip consta d'un conjunt de conductes, vàlvules, filtres i sensors i també inclou un autòmat pel seu control automàtic.

Planificación y ejecución de un objeto de uso cotidiano: etapas y metodología aplicada desde las alternativas e ideas previas hasta su construcción material final.

Fortalecimiento de valores comunitarios en los niños y niñas de primaria de la comunidad Nuevo Horizonte de Guatemala

El objetivo del proyecto es el fortalecimiento de valores comunitarios en los niños y niñas de Primaria de la comunidad Nuevo Horizonte de Guatemala. En esta primera fase, se persigue despertar la identidad de la comunidad y promover su empoderamiento y desarrollo. De este modo, se crea un espacio socioeducativo de carácter lúdico, diseñado y elaborado por los diferentes agentes comunitarios. Previamente a su creación, el proyecto se centra en la sensibilización de la comunidad y la formación de sus agentes. Esta actividad es de vital importancia para alcanzar la influencia e impacto esperados que nos garanticen el éxito del mismo.

Sponge Mass Mortalities in a Warming Mediterranean Sea: Are Cyanobacteria-Harboring Species Worse Off?

Mass mortality events are increasing dramatically in all coastal marine environments. Determining the underlying causes of mass mortality events has proven difficult in the past because of the lack of prior quantitative data on populations and environmental variables. Four-year surveys of two shallow-water sponge species, Ircinia fasciculata and Sarcotragus spinosulum, were carried out in the western Mediterranean Sea. These surveys provided evidence of two severe sponge die-offs (total mortality ranging from 80 to 95% of specimens) occurring in the summers of 2008 and 2009. These events primarily affected I. fasciculata, which hosts both phototrophic and heterotrophic microsymbionts, while they did not affect S. spinosulum, which harbors only heterotrophic bacteria. We observed a significant positive correlation between the percentage of injured I. fasciculata specimens and exposure time to elevated temperature conditions in all populations, suggesting a key role of temperature in triggering mortality events. A comparative ultrastructural study of injured and healthy I. fasciculata specimens showed that cyanobacteria disappeared from injured specimens, which suggests that cyanobacterial decay could be involved in I. fasciculata mortality. A laboratory experiment confirmed that the cyanobacteria harbored by I. fasciculata displayed a significant reduction in photosynthetic efficiency in the highest temperature treatment. The sponge disease reported here led to a severe decrease in the abundance of the surveyed populations. It represents one of the most dramatic mass mortality events to date in the Mediterranean Sea

Learning journalistic opinion genres using CLIL methodology

The Faculty of Business and Communication recently started an internationalization process that, in two year’s time, will allow all undergraduate students (studying Journalism, Audiovisual Communication, Advertising and Public Relations, Business and Marketing) to take 25% of their subjects in English using CLIL methodology. Currently, Journalism is the degree course with the greatest percentage of CLIL subjects, for example Current Affairs Workshop, a subject dedicated to analyzing current news using opinion genres. Moreover, because of the lack of other subjects offered in English, ERASMUS students have to take some journalism subjects in order to complete their international passport, and one of the classes they choose is the Current Affairs Workshop. The aim of this paper is to explore how CLIL methodology can be useful for learning journalistic opinion genres (chat-shows, discussions and debates) in a subject where Catalan Communication students –with different levels of English- share their knowledge with European students of other social disciplines. Students work in multidisciplinary groups in which they develop real radio and TV programs, adopting all the roles (moderator, technician, producer and participants), analyzing daily newspapers and other sources to create content, based on current affairs. This paper is based on the participant observation of the lecturers of the subject, who have designed different activities related to journalistic genres, where students can develop their skills according to the role they play in every assignment. Examples of successful lessons will be given, in addition to the results of the course: both positive and negative. Although the objective of the course is to examine professional routines related to opinion genres, and students are not directly graded on their level of English, the Catalan students come to appreciate how they finally overcome their fear of working in a foreign language. This is a basic result of their experience.
