La actividad productiva de la fábrica de harinas “La Montserrat” (Girona) en el año agrícola de 1903-1904 = The Production Activities at the Company Harinera “La Montserrat” (Girona) over the Agricultural Year 1903-1904

Harinera La Montserrat, S.A, a company involved in the manufacturing and trading of cereals and flour, was founded in Girona in 1898 by José Ensesa y Cía., Sociedad en Comandita. With the objective to determine how the product activity of this business was structured, we have studied in detail the operations that were carried out over the agricultural year 1903-1904. We have focused on three main aspects. Firstly, the purchasing of wheat (origin, transportation, prices); secondly, the production of flour (using internal and external wheat, profits); and thirdly, its distribution (customers, destination). Finally, we have analyzed the profit and loos account for this period in order to find out if this business was profitable

Presence of the Nearctic Water Boatman Trichocorixa Verticalis Verticalis (Fieber, 1851) (Heteroptera, Corixidae) in the algarve region (S Portugal)

This paper describes the presence of the nearctic water boatman Trichocorixa verticalis verticalis in southern Portugal. This species has been cited recently for the first time in Europe from individuals captured in southern Spain. This species, native to Atlantic coast of America, has also been cited from New Caledonia and South Africa, and has been found in the open sea. Two kinds of introduction are reported for this species: involuntary introduction with exotic fish, and passive dispersion through marine currents and severe storms. The possibility of this kind of introduction in Europe is discussed

Chopin & Leopardi : dues sensibilitats bessones

Aquest treball vol estudiar les relacions que s'estableixen entre dos artistes d'un mateix període estètic: Frédéric Chopin i Giacomo Leopardi. Ho fa analitzant 7 parelles de música i poesia, analitzades per descobrir què és allò que les uneix. Després d'una reflexió al voltant de l'art, el treball reflexiona sobre què aporta a l'estudi d'un període artístic, d'unes determinades obres o a l'escolta d'un concert, la combinació de dues o més disciplines artístiques. Chopin & Leopardi: dues sensibilitats bessones, doncs, que acaben connectant també amb nosaltres, descobrint en l'art l'expressió de quelcom universal que uneix artista, intèrpret i públic.
