Los consorcios han sido una de las novedades más influyentes en la realidad bibliotecaria mundial de los últimos cinco años. Su expansión territorial y en actividades los ha convertido en un fenómeno que ha cambiado profundamente las formas tradicionales de definir los servicios bibliotecarios. El examen atento de las actividades que ha desarrollado el Consorcio de Bibliotecas Universitarias de Cataluña (CBUC) en el ámbito de las bibliotecas digitales es una muestra de las posibilidades de cooperación existentes en estos inicios del Siglo XXI. El CBUC inició sus actividades de contratación de contenidos digitales en el 1998. Los productos y servicios licenciados se agruparon bajo el nombre de Biblioteca Digital de Catalunya (BDC). La BDC contiene actualmente unas 6.800 revistas-e, 58 BBDD y 4.100 libros-e. De forma bastante paralela en el tiempo nacieron un servidor de sumarios electrónicos de revistas y un servidor de tesis doctorales a texto completo. La evolución de las necesidades de las bibliotecas ha comportado que hoy en el CBUC se tenga la visión de la BDC como un servicio formado de dos grandes partes: a) los productos exteriores sujetos a contratación y accesibles remotamente a través de servicios comerciales, y, b) servidores de aquellos objetos digitales generados en el ámbito del CBUC y que solo pueden ser puestos en la red por nosotros mismos. Para gestionar esta segunda parte de la BDC debemos constituir almacenes o repositorios digitales. Entre las diferentes posibilidades, el CBUC ha optado por crear repositorios institucionales colectivos de diferente tipo según los materiales que contienen. Hasta el momento se han creado tres repositorios: uno para tesis, uno para revistas y uno para literatura gris de investigación. Está previsto crear un cuarto repositorio para imágenes. La ponencia finaliza con los aprendizajes del CBUC en materia de repositorios. El principal es que la mayor dificultad para crearlos no son los elementos tecnológicos sino establecer mecanismos de relación con el profesorado y la universidad para que los diferentes documentos creados de forma electrónica pasen a formar parte de los repositorios institucionales correspondientes.

La societat actual figura arrelada a un discurs sobre el femení, que desenvolupat durant el segle XVIII s'ha anat obrint camí insistentment a través de les imatges. A través de l'obra del pintor Paul Gauguin aquest treball presten mostrar que el confinament de la dona a l'espai domèstic i la pretesa relació d'aquesta amb altres elements és fruit de la mateixa ideologia que confina a la dona a l'espai privat i a l'home a l'espai públic.

An Alternative Mediterranean Conference under the auspices of several NGOs frorn several countries of the Mediterranean basin was held in Barcelona from 24th to 26th Novernber 1995. Its purpose was to discuss the relationships arnong the European Union and the eastern and southern shore countries in the Mediterranean basin from a non-official point of view, and to evaluate the project of a Euro-Mediterranean Association which was to be launched by the Intergovernmental Euro-Mediterranean Conference at its meeting in Barcelona on 27th and 28th November. This Serninar was the focus of most discussion at the Alternative Mediterranean Conference

Background: The COSMIN checklist (COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement INstruments) was developed in an international Delphi study to evaluate the methodological quality of studies on measurement properties of health-related patient reported outcomes (HR-PROs). In this paper, we explain our choices for the design requirements and preferred statistical methods for which no evidence is available in the literature or on which the Delphi panel members had substantial discussion. Methods: The issues described in this paper are a reflection of the Delphi process in which 43 panel members participated. Results: The topics discussed are internal consistency (relevance for reflective and formative models, and distinction with unidimensionality), content validity (judging relevance and comprehensiveness), hypotheses testing as an aspect of construct validity (specificity of hypotheses), criterion validity (relevance for PROs), and responsiveness (concept and relation to validity, and (in) appropriate measures).Conclusions: We expect that this paper will contribute to a better understanding of the rationale behind the items, thereby enhancing the acceptance and use of the COSMIN checklist.

Background: The COSMIN checklist is a tool for evaluating the methodological quality of studies on measurement properties of health-related patient-reported outcomes. The aim of this study is to determine the inter-rater agreement and reliability of each item score of the COSMIN checklist (n = 114). Methods: 75 articles evaluating measurement properties were randomly selected from the bibliographic database compiled by the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Group, Oxford, UK. Raters were asked to assess the methodological quality of three articles, using the COSMIN checklist. In a one-way design, percentage agreement and intraclass kappa coefficients or quadratic-weighted kappa coefficients were calculated for each item. Results: 88 raters participated. Of the 75 selected articles, 26 articles were rated by four to six participants, and 49 by two or three participants. Overall, percentage agreement was appropriate (68% was above 80% agreement), and the kappa coefficients for the COSMIN items were low (61% was below 0.40, 6% was above 0.75). Reasons for low inter-rater agreement were need for subjective judgement, and accustom to different standards, terminology and definitions.Conclusions: Results indicated that raters often choose the same response option, but that it is difficult on item level to distinguish between articles. When using the COSMIN checklist in a systematic review, we recommend getting some training and experience, completing it by two independent raters, and reaching consensus on one final rating. Instructions for using the checklist are improved.

Stress can cause damage and atrophy of neurons in the hippocampus by deregulating the expression of neurotrophic factors that promote neuronal plasticity. The endocannabinoid system represents a physiological substrate involved in neuroprotection at both cellular and emotional levels. The lack of CB1 receptor alters neuronal plasticity and originates an anxiety-like phenotype in mice. In the present study, CB1 knockout mice exhibited an augmented response to stress revealed by the increased despair behavior and corticosterone levels showed in the tail suspension test and decreased brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in the hippocampus. Interestingly, local administration of BDNF in the hippocampus reversed the increased despair behavior of CB1 knockout mice, confirming the crucial role played by BDNF on the emotional impairment of these mutants. The neurotrophic deficiency seems to be specific for BDNF since no differences were found in the levels of NGF and NT-3, two additional neurotrophic factors. Moreover, BDNF impairment is not related to the activity of its specific receptor TrkB or the activity of the transcription factor CREB. These results suggest that the lack of CB1 receptor originates an enhanced response to stress and neuronal plasticity by decreasing BDNF levels in the hippocampus that lead to impairment in the responses to emotional disturbances.

The pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) type I receptor (PAC1) is a G-protein-coupled receptor binding the strongly conserved neuropeptide PACAP with 1000-fold higher affinity than the related peptide vasoactive intestinal peptide. PAC1-mediated signaling has been implicated in neuronal differentiation and synaptic plasticity. To gain further insight into the biological significance of PAC1-mediated signaling in vivo, we generated two different mutant mouse strains, harboring either a complete or a forebrain-specific inactivation of PAC1. Mutants from both strains show a deficit in contextual fear conditioning, a hippocampus-dependent associative learning paradigm. In sharp contrast, amygdala-dependent cued fear conditioning remains intact. Interestingly, no deficits in other hippocampus-dependent tasks modeling declarative learning such as the Morris water maze or the social transmission of food preference are observed. At the cellular level, the deficit in hippocampus-dependent associative learning is accompanied by an impairment of mossy fiber long-term potentiation (LTP). Because the hippocampal expression of PAC1 is restricted to mossy fiber terminals, we conclude that presynaptic PAC1-mediated signaling at the mossy fiber synapse is involved in both LTP and hippocampus-dependent associative learning.

Aquest treball és un anàlisi de tres aproximacions pedagògiques en el camp de la música sorgides al segle XX; la de Shinichi Suzuki, Paul Rolland i Mimi Zweig. Les tres estan centrades en l’ensenyament del violí i formen part de les aproximacions pedagògiques més conegudes i amb més reputació en aquest camp. S’han volgut estudiar i analitzar de manera separada cada una d’aquestes aproximacions i, posteriorment, fer-ne una comparació que permeti observar aquells aspectes que comparteixen i aquells amb els quals difereixen. La conclusió extreta és que el coneixement de diferents aproximacions pedagògiques i l’adequada combinació d’aquestes, a l’hora d’impartir la nostra tasca com a docents, és el que ens enriqueix com a pedagogs i també com a persones.

El passat mes de novembre, l'Àrea de Cultura de la Diputació de Barcelona va organitzar Interacció'98, unes jornades de convocatòria estatal sobre polítiques i gestió cultural. La convocatòria d'enguany ¿la quarta edició¿ tractà d'un centre d'interès específic: «Cultura i poder local». Dins el marc d'Interacció'98, es va organitzar el seminari de «Sistemes d'informació per a l'acció cultural local». Aquest seminari es va organitzar amb l'intent de conjugar la reflexió teòrica amb la presentació de pràctiques amb resultats positius procedents d'organitzacions públiques de diversa adscripció temàtica i sectorial de tot l'Estat espanyol. El comú denominador va ser la seva significació quant a les possibilitats i limitacions dels sistemes d'informació per a l'acció cultural a escala territorial.
