Evolució, justificacions i propostes de la gran obra hidràulica a les conques de la Muga i del Fluvià (1850-1980). La irrigació com a protagonista

Als darrers 150 anys, les grans infraestructures hidràuliques, per acció o per omissió, han jugat un paper destacat però força desconegut a les conques hidrogràfiques gironines de la Muga i del Fluvià. Així, s’efectua, a continuació, una reconstrucció retrospectiva i comparada de les propostes de gran obra hidràulica (embassaments, canals complementaris...) que, en aquest període, han estat ideades i en el seu cas executades, a ambdues conques. S’atorgarà una atenció especial a les justificacions, finalitats, discursos i agents socials que han inspirat la seva concepció i les causes que han conduït al seu èxit o al seu fracàs. Tot plegat es contextualitza dins dels plans, les polítiques i la legislació hidràulica estatals. Aquí s’afegirà la influència del proper riu Ter, a partir de la dècada de 1950-59, des del moment en què es decideix l’abastament parcial amb els seus cabals a Barcelona i a la seva zona d’influència

Trends in mortality from hepatocellular carcinoma in Europe, 1980-2004.

Upward trends in mortality from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were recently reported in the United States and Japan. Comprehensive analyses of most recent data for European countries are not available. Age-standardized (world standard) HCC rates per 100,000 (at all ages, at age 20-44, and age 45-59 years) were computed for 23 European countries over the period 1980-2004 using data from the World Health Organization. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to identify significant changes in trends, and annual percent change were computed. Male overall mortality from HCC increased in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and other western countries, while it significantly decreased over recent years in countries such as France and Italy, which had large upward trends until the mid-1990s. In the early 2000s, among countries allowing distinction between HCC and other liver cancers, the highest HCC rates in men were in France (6.8/100,000), Italy (6.7), and Switzerland (5.9), whereas the lowest ones were in Norway (1.0), Ireland (0.8), and Sweden (0.7). In women, a slight increase in overall HCC mortality was observed in Spain and Switzerland, while mortality decreased in several other European countries, particularly since the mid-1990s. In the early 2000s, female HCC mortality rates were highest in Italy (1.9/100,000), Switzerland (1.8), and Spain (1.5) and lowest in Greece, Ireland, and Sweden (0.3). In most countries, trends at age 45-59 years were consistent with overall ones, whereas they were more favorable at age 20-44 years in both sexes. CONCLUSION: HCC mortality remains largely variable across Europe. Favorable trends were observed in several European countries mainly over the last decade, particularly in women and in young adults.

[8 lettres autographes signées de Jules Barbier à Henri Heugel, 1891]

9 mai 1891. Le prie d'envoyer 300 francs à son fils Pierre. - 30 juin 1891. Le prie de donner 200 francs à sa fille. - 29 juillet 1891. Lui demande 300 francs d'avance. - 16 août 1891. Au sujet de "Néron" qui pourrait être repris sur la scène du théâtre de Nice. Evoque la distribution qui paraît la plus adéquate et ses relations avec le compositeur Antoine Rubinstein. Barbier voit dans cette reprise un avantage, celui de "mettre enfin la pièce au point, ce qu'[il n'a] pu encore faire, avec la diable de collaboration fantaisiste et vagabonde de Rubinstein.". - 20 août 1891. Au sujet de "Néron" et de la distribution la plus convenable : "Ce qui me séduit le plus, c'est la possibilité de parfaire l'ouvrage et d'en donner enfin une version définitive et dont je sois content". - 23 août 1891. Au sujet de "Néron". S'incline devant les choix de son éditeur et le met en garde sur le compositeur : "Avec son génie (car il en a), c'est un homme à rater tous les succès du monde! Son art l'aveugle et lui masque les nécessités du théâtre". - 12 septembre 1891. Au sujet de "Néron" et des hésitations d'Eugène Bertrand à monter la pièce. Le directeur de théâtre préfèrerait monter "Paul et Virginie". - 15 septembre 1891. Lui renvoie son "traité" signé de "Paul et Virginie" et lui demande une avance

Trends in motor vehicle crash mortality in Europe, 1980-2007.

Recent trends (1980-2007) in mortality from road traffic crashes in European countries, and, for comparative purposes, in the USA and Japan were reviewed. Data came from the World Health Organisation database. Age-standardised rates, at all ages and at 15-24, 25-64, >=65 years, were computed. Joinpoint regression analyses to evaluate significant changes in trends were performed. In the European Union as a whole rates declined from 20.2 in 1987 to 13.5/100,000 in 2007 in men, and from 6.3 to 3.7/100,000 in women; European Union rates remained lower than USA, but higher than Japanese ones. In 2007, the highest male rates were in Lithuania (36.7/100,000), the Russian Federation (35.2), Ukraine (29.8), and Latvia (28.5), and the lowest ones in the Netherlands (6.2) and Sweden (6.9); the highest female rates were in the Russian Federation (11.3), Lithuania (9.7), Belarus, Latvia, and Ukraine (around 8), and the lowest ones in Switzerland (1.7), the UK, and Nordic countries (around 2). Mortality from motor vehicle crashes declined in northern and western European countries and - though to a lesser extent - in southern European countries, too. Mortality trends were also favourable in the Czech Republic and Poland since the mid 1990's, whereas they were still upwards in Romania and the Russian Federation. No trend was observed in Hungary and Ukraine. Trends were consistent in various age groups considered. Thus, additional urgent and integrated intervention is required to prevent avoidable deaths from motor vehicle crashes, particularly in selected central and eastern European countries.
