El crèdit a la Catalunya dels segles XVI i XVII ; un estat de qüestió

Aquest treball és un recull de les principals aportacions que diferents autors realitzen en torn del crèdit durant l’alta edat moderna a Catalunya, en especial al món agrari. Aquests són dos segles d’endeutament creixent on diferents despeses que durant els segles anteriors estaven previstes per l’economia familiar esdevenen motiu de crisis. Una característica clau d’aquest període també és la creixent diferenciació social i els canvis en el model productiu pagès que aquest procés va comportar.

Enseñar historia: indumentaria y mapas conceptuales

Ante las dificultades que presenta la concepción del tiempo para la didáctica de la historia es necesario aportar herramientas o estrategias que faciliten los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Aquí se proponen dos estrategias combinadas basadas, por un lado, en introducir a los niños desde edades tempranas en la historia a través de marcas temporales asociadas a una tipología de objetos (en este caso la indumentaria), enseñarles en etapas posteriores a relacionarlas entre sí y con otros conceptos históricos de creciente complejidad, y, por otro lado, en facilitar su aprendizaje a través de la creación de mapas conceptuales.

Wonderalp. Une science émerveillée. Les Alpes et la culture de la curiosité

WonderAlp est un cabinet de curiosités réalisé à partir d'une documentation provenant d'anciens ouvrages de voyages dans les Alpes. L'app présente des images de dragons, de fossiles, de cristaux, de plantes, d'animaux, de phénomènes naturels. Elle donne des clés pour retrouver et comprendre l'émerveillement devant la nature qui animait la science à l'époque de la curiosité (XVIe-XVIIIe siècles). WonderAlp is a cabinet of curiosities that transforms your iPad or Android into an Early Modern Wunderkammer. It displays objects discovered in the Alps during the early period of exploration. These are grouped under three titles : "Dragons of the Alps", "Fossils and Crystals", "Plants to Landscapes". It helps apprehend a natural world that is both rational and wonderful, scholarly and popular, unlike the compartmentalized thinking of modern life.

Vieraiden grafeemien väistyminen varhaisnykysuomesta etenkin Jakob Johan Malmbergin tuotannon valossa

Deleuze, lector de Spinoza. Del problema de la expresión a la filosofía práctica

[spa]El objetivo de este artículo es presentar la interpretación deleuziana de la filosofía de Spinoza como una vía posible para la crítica del primer proyecto moderno. Para ello partimos de la premisa de que la expresión es un problema insoluble para el cartesianismo, y que el spinozismo intentó explorar este asunto para mostrar la naturaleza paradójica de este concepto. El estudio se centra en dos obras de Deleuze: Spinoza y el problema de la expresión y Spinoza: filosofía práctica.

Food webs in the era of molecular revolution – Like resolving the Gordian knot with a tricorder

Living nature consists of countless organisms, which are classified into millions of species. These species interact in many ways; for example predators when foraging on their prey, insect larvae consuming plants, and pathogenic bacteria drifting into humans. In addition, abiotic nature has a great initiative impact on life through many factors (including sunlight, ambient temperature, and water. In my thesis, I have studied interactions among different life forms in multifaceted ways. The webs of these interactions are commonly referred to as food webs, describing feeding relationships between species or energy transfer from one trophic level to another. These ecological interactions – whether they occur between species, between individuals, or between microorganisms within an individual – are among the greatest forces affecting natural communities. Relationships are tightly related to biological diversity, that is, species richness and abundances. A species is called a node in food web vocabulary, and its interactions to other species are called links. Generally, Artic food webs are considered to be loosely linked, simple structures. This conception roots into early modern food webs, where insects and other arthropods, for example, were clumped under one node. However, it has been shown that arthropods form the greatest part of diversity and biomass both in the tropics and in Arctic areas. Earlier challenges of revealing the role of insects and microorganisms in interactions webs have become possible with the help of recent advances in molecular techniques. In the first chapter, I studied the prey diversity of a common bat, Myotis daubentonii, in southwestern Finland. My results proved M. daubentonii being a versatile predator whose diet mainly consists of aquatic insects, such as chironomid midges. In the second chapter, I expanded the view to changes in seasonal and individual-based variation in the diet of M. daubentonii including the relationship between available and observed prey. I found out that chironomids remain the major prey group even though their abundance decreases in proportion to other insect groups. Diet varied a lot between individuals, although the differences were not statistically significant. The third chapter took the study to a large network in Greenland. I showed that Artic food webs are very complex when arthropods are taken into account. In the fourth chapter, I examined the bacterial flora of M. daubentonii and surveyed the zoonotic potential of these bacteria. I found Bartonella bacteria, of which one was described as a new species named after the locality of discovery. I have shown in my thesis that Myotis daubentonii as a predator links many insect species as well as terrestrial and aquatic environments. Moreover, I have exposed that Arctic food webs are complex structures comprising of many densely linked species. Finally, I demonstrated that the bacterial flora of bats includes several previously unknown species, some of which could possibly turn in to zoonosis. To summarize, molecular methods have untied several knots in biological research. I hope that this kind of increasing knowledge of the surrounding nature makes us further value all the life forms on earth.

Metaphysics in Königsberg prior to Kant (1703-1770)

The present contribute aims to reconstruct, using the methodology of intellectual history, the broad spectrum of metaphysical doctrines that Kant could know during the years of the formation of his philosophy. The first part deals with the teaching of metaphysics in Königsberg from 1703 to 1770. The second part examines the main characteristics of the metaphysics in the various handbooks, which were taught at the Albertina, in order to have an exhaustive overview of all metaphysical positions.
