Clasificamos los diferentes tipos de investigaciones y analizamos los puntos más significativos de tal modelo, cuya finalidad es la de mejorar las capacidades de investigación del alumnado.

Análisis y clasificación de la vegetación leñosa de Galicia (España)

Después de los ensayos anteriores, de los que se hace un análisis histórico, de definir la diversidad de la vegetación gallega se propone una nueva ordenación basada en criterios actuales (florísticos, sucesionales, corológicos, respecto al Código de Nomenclatura Fitosociológica). El análisis se limita, en este caso, a las comunidades leñosas comprendidas en las clases Alnetea glutinosae, Calluno-Ulicetea, Cisto-Lavanduletea, Cytisetea scopario-striati, Pino-Juniperetea, Quercetea ilicis, Querco-Fagetea, Rhamno-Prunetea, Salicetea purpureae y Vaccinio-Piceetea, con un total de 65 asociaciones. Cada clase lleva una pequeña descripción que incluye su distribución en el territorio, las especies representativas y un comentario de sus afinidades con otras clases. Tras cada asociación aceptada se relacionan las tablas o grupos de inventarios gallegos que se asimilan a la misma con indicación del nombre originalmente osado y la referencia bibliográfica correspondiente.

1. Oxalidi latifoliae-Veronicetum persicae Br.-Bl. 1967 corr. Loidi, nombre correcto en contra del CNF

Loidi (Lazaroa 4:74. 1983) corrigió en contra del CNF el nombre de la asociación "Chenopodio-Oxalidetum violaceae Br-Rl. 1967", basándose en la determinacion errónea de la especie de Oxalis presente en la comunidad, ya que se trata de Oxalis latifolia Kunth y no de O. violacea L., según experiencia directa y referencias anteriores (cf. LAINZ, Collect. Bot. Barcelona 5 (3): 684, y DÍAZ GONZÁLEZ. Rev. Fac. Cienc. Oviedo, 15 (2): 482). Subsiguientemente, propuso el nombre Oxalidi latifoliae-Veronicetum persicae Br-Rl. 1967 corr. Loidi.

A History of Women in Ireland, 1500-1800

The first general survey of the history of women in early modern Ireland. Based on an impressive range of source material, it presents the results of original research into women’s lives and experiences in Ireland from 1500 to 1800. This was a time of considerable change in Ireland as English colonisation, religious reform and urbanisation transformed society on the island. Gaelic society based on dynastic lordships and Brehon Law gave way to an anglicised and centralised form of government and an English legal system.

The Afroporteña press and Afro-Argentine’s thought in the late nineteenth century

The journalistic boom that occurred in Argentina from the second half of the nineteenth century saw the emergence of an active afroporteña press that defend the interests of the black community. This paper, in addition to reviewing the history of the Afro-Argentines newspapers, emphasizes the role played by the elite of African descent in the promotion of modernity among his brothers, while exploring the possible bases for an identity in the ideas spread.

Press, politic, and social order in Buenos Aires during the 1850s

The paper examines some reflections and discussions about the role and nature of the press that took place in Buenos Aires during the 1850s, referring to the difficulties involved in congenial freedom and order. This was caused by the fact that the press was considered a pillar of republican and civilized societies, but also an agent capable of corroding the social and political order.

'Dare the boist'rous main': the role of the Belfast Newsletter in the process of emigration from Ulster to North America 1760-1800

Before the mass migrations from Ireland in the nineteenth century, earlier waves of migration in the eighteenth century saw significant numbers of people leave Ireland, predominantly from Ulster, to settle in North America. This article, using as its principal data source the Belfast News Letter ( BNL), its letters, advertisements and reports, focuses firstly on reconstructing the late eighteenth-century migration process and voyage, highlighting the barriers represented by the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to the challenges of the sea, there were problems with the ships, the ever-present danger of disease and also threats from other vessels, from privateers to press gangs. The voyage was recognized as a ‘universal dread’, and the risks taken to ‘dare the boist’rous main’ were perhaps not minimized in the pages of the BNL, whose editorial stance was antipathetic to the migration for the potential harm it caused to Ulster by removing so many of its industrious young. The second part of this article goes on to consider the newspaper’s and others’ vested interests in the emigration process, demonstrates how these were manifested in the press and sets the coverage of this very significant early emigration flow within the context of contemporary religious and colonial discourses at a period of very lively transatlantic interactions.

Non-agrocultural co-peratives and economy transformation in Cuba: politic processes and strategies

Contribution of co-operatives has been demonstrated since the 1970s as the main development line in agricultural production in Cuba. In contrast, there has been a late recognition of urban co-operatives, even if the need of transformations based on the realization of property in different territorial scenarios had been identified. The article analyses the reform processes launched since the first decade of the 21st century focusing on the nature of the initiatives fostering formation and promotion of nonagricultural co-operatives including follow up of their performance. The potential and limitations of the recent experiences are examined in order to reflect on the organizational processes and transformations from the point of view of their members. To conclude, some questions are posed about whether these co-operatives are capable of avoiding the impact of earlier employment circumstances and of developing strategies aimed at reinforcing voluntary membership and autonomy on which they are founded.
