El poblament vegetal de les valls de Barravés i Castanesa. I. Flora i vegetació

The study area lies in the central Pyrenees and corresponds to the basins of two adjacent rivers,Noguera Ribagorçana and Valira de Castanesa. Theyflow from North to South, and meet near El Pont deSuert. The area stretches from this point (875 m a. s. l.) to more than 3000 m, at the North summits bordering it.

Desenvolupament de les competències transversals d'intervenció : disseny del seminari de 4t curs de psicologia

L’objectiu principal d’aquest projecte és concretar la manera de desenvolupar les competències transversals del futur psicòleg de grau en el seminari de 4rt curs, tenint present les matèries a les que està vinculat i la coherència de tot el curriculum de grau. Els objectius específics són tres: 1) integrar l’experiència de més de quinze anys al seminari de 4rt curs al nou pla d’estudis, 2) definir les estratègies d'ensenyament-aprenentatge i els instruments didàctics que afavoreixin l'assoliment dels objectius establerts i, 3) reflexionar sobre l’avaluació del seminari tot establint criteris compartits. El mètode ha estat el del treball cooperatiu, partint de les competències transversals a treballar al seminari. El resultat és una guia de treball comú que estableix unes bases mínimes per garantir un nivell d’assoliment de competències transversals, especialment les relacionades amb la intervenció psicològica, amb respecte per a totes les orientacions teòriques i perfils professionals. Les competències bàsiques les hem relacionat amb els eixos identitaris de Blanquerna com són: Saber (conèixer les principals orientacions teòriques), Saber Ser (gestió de les emocions) i Saber Fer (treballar en equip, comunicar, intervenir). Les diferents activitats s’han integrat en els eixos de les competències bàsiques i en els diferents moments temporals del seminari (inici, desenvolupament i finalització).

Monitoring the decreasing trend of testicular cancer mortality in Spain during 2005-2019 through a Bayesian approach

Purpose : To assess time trends of testicular cancer (TC) mortality in Spain for period 1985-2019 for age groups 15-74 years old through a Bayesian age-period-cohort (APC) analysis. Methods: A Bayesian age-drift model has been fitted to describe trends. Projections for 2005-2019 have been calculated by means of an autoregressive APC model. Prior precision for these parameters has been selected through evaluation of an adaptive precision parameter and 95% credible intervals (95% CRI) have been obtained for each model parameter. Results: A decrease of -2.41% (95% CRI: -3.65%; -1.13%) per year has been found for TC mortality rates in age groups 15-74 during 1985-2004, whereas mortality showed a lower annual decrease when data was restricted to age groups 15-54 (-1.18%; 95% CRI: -2.60%; -0.31%). During 2005-2019 is expected a decrease of TC mortality of 2.30% per year for men younger than 35, whereas a leveling off for TC mortality rates is expected for men older than 35. Conclusions: A Bayesian approach should be recommended to describe and project time trends for those diseases with low number of cases. Through this model it has been assessed that management of TC and advances in therapy led to decreasing trend of TC mortality during the period 1985-2004, whereas a leveling off for these trends can be considered during 2005-2019 among men older than 35.
