The age of excess : America 1920-1932.

Entre 1920 y 1932 Estados Unidos aumentó en gran medida su nivel de prosperidad y, a continuación, se estrelló en las profundidades de la depresión. América es la tierra de la oportunidad y su sistema democrático ofrece un sueño de libertad a pesar de los problemas raciales, la intolerancia política, la prohibición, los gangsters, la violencia y las diferencias religiosas. Estos años fueron los locos años veinte que terminaron con el Crash de 1929.Incluye fragmentos de fuentes históricas originales, así como, material de aprendizaje activo: ejercicios, preguntas y pruebas.

A New Deal : America 1932-1945.

En 1932 el Presidente Roosevelt prometió un New Deal para sacar a los Estados Unidos de la depresión. Consistió en la creación de planes orientados a los desempleados, a los campesinos, para la tierra y la industria. Se muestra cómo tuvo que enfrentarse a la oposición a estos planes y a la participación de su país en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Por último, se repasan los juicios emitidos por los contemporáneos y valoraciones posteriores sobre su figura y su New Deal.

Practicantes, matronas y cirujanos dentistas en la España contemporánea (1855-1932)

En el transcurso de los setenta y siete años que abarca la tesis, se investiga en torno a unas realidades socio-profesionales concretas que se generan a partir del estado de la cuestión historiográfica y de una preliminar cronología antepuesta al inicio del periodo de estudio. Contextualizado el estudio, se centra en las diversas normas legales que fueron normativizando la estructura social, profesional y de relación de esas actividades; en la conexión entre los manuales formativos y la praxis ocupacional-profesional; la determinación de los orígenes geográficos y sociales de los colectivos, así como su herencia profesional y el acceso de la mujer a las profesiones sanitarias; el asociacionismo profesional y sus publicaciones corporativas; los diversos ámbitos del ejercicio profesional liberal o dependiente y los relatos biográficos. El núcleo de esta tesis lo constituyen las personas, hombres y mujeres, a los que hay que considerar como los verdaderos protagonistas de la evolución histórica de esas tres profesiones sanitarias, es por ese motivo que se incluye el nomenclátor de los dos mil seiscientos cuarenta y cuatro personas que se titularon en Cataluña (1877-1932)

Flavonoid intake in European adults (18 to 64 years)

Background Flavonoids are a group of phenolic secondary plant metabolites that are ubiquitous in plant-based diets. Data from anthropological, observational and intervention studies have shown that many flavonoids are bioactive. For this reason, there is an increasing interest in investigating the potential health effects of these compounds. The translation of these findings into the context of the health of the general public requires detailed information on habitual dietary intake. However, only limited data are currently available for European populations. Objective The objective of this study is to determine the habitual intake and main sources of anthocyanidins, flavanols, flavanones, flavones, flavonols, proanthocyanidins, theaflavins and thearubigins in the European Union. Design We use food consumption data from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the FLAVIOLA Food Composition Database to estimate intake of flavonoids. Results Mean (±SEM) intake of total flavonoids in Europe was 428±49 mg/d, of which 136±14 mg/d were monomeric compounds. Gallated flavan-3-ols (53±12 mg/d) were the main contributor. The lowest flavonoid intake was observed in Mediterranean countries (monomeric compounds: 95±11 mg/d). The distribution of intake was skewed in many countries, especially in Germany (monomeric flavonoids; mean intake: 181 mg/d; median intake: 3 mg/d). Conclusions The habitual intake of flavonoids in Europe is below the amounts found to have a significant health effect.

A obra do poeta politradutor Armand Robin: marcas de uma existência em fuga

Armand Robin was a prodigious translator, that is to say: his works were translated into 22 different languages, not to mention his missing texts. During his bulletin on the radio, it was also possible to notice that 18 idioms were fluently received. This poet was notable not only because of his capacity of knowing several languages, but also because of his conception about translation. According to Robin, the meaning was not enough; a target text (TT) must be based on the recreation of the source text (ST), signification by signification; sound by sound, language by language. Since his first book, Ma Vie sans Moi, was released, Robin always wanted his translated texts were presented as works of his own, creating the idea that there was no difference between ST and TT, before giving priority to translation, either in publications or in radio transmissions. In 1942, ÉditionsGallimard published his single “novel”, Le temps qu’ilfait, which was object of studies related to the poet as a translator, emphasizing the pulse of life, which was visible in his TTs. However, in our paper, we are going to observe his production as an author, more specifically his writings, his novel and some of his fragments, in order to deepen the knowledge about his experience and also understand the dramatic and peculiar speech which is present in his writings.

Bessie Harper Radio Talk Records - Accession 26 - M8 (18)

The Bessie Harper Radio Talk records consist of a draft of a radio talk on "Family Finance" that was broadcast over WIS, Columbia, South Carolina on Monday, January 25th, 1932. Bessie Harper served as chairman of the American Home Department of the South Carolina Federation of Women's Club (SCFWC). The aim of the talk is to educate families how to budget their finances and to plan their expenses which was particularly important when this talk was given in 1932 during the Great Depression.

L'architettura di Pietro Bottoni a Ferrara: Occasioni di moderna composizione architettonica negli ambienti storici (1932-1971)

Ferrara è tra le città con le quali Piero Bottoni (1903-1973) ha istaurato un rapporto proficuo e duraturo che gli permise di elaborare molti progetti e che fu costante lungo quasi tutta la parabola professionale dell’autore milanese. Giunto nella città estense nei primi anni Trenta, vi lavorò nei tre decenni successivi elaborando progetti che spaziavano dalla scala dell’arredamento d’interni fino a quella urbana; i diciannove progetti studiati, tutti situati all’interno del centro storico della città, hanno come tema comune la relazione tra nuova architettura e città esistente. Osservando un ampio spettro di interventi che abbracciava la progettazione sull'esistente come quella del nuovo, Bottoni propone una visione dell'architettura senza suddivisioni disciplinari intendendo il restauro e la costruzione del nuovo come parti di un processo progettuale unitario. Sullo sfondo di questa vicenda, la cultura ferrarese tra le due guerre e nel Dopoguerra si caratterizza per il continuo tentativo di rendere attuale la propria storia rinascimentale effettuando operazioni di riscoperta che con continuità, a discapito dei cambiamenti politici, contraddistinguono le esperienze culturali condotte nel corso del Novecento. Con la contemporanea presenza durante gli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta di Bottoni, Zevi, Pane, Michelucci, Piccinato, Samonà, Bassani e Ragghianti, tutti impegnati nella costruzione dell’immagine storiografica della Ferrara rinascimentale, i caratteri di questa stagione culturale si fondono con i temi centrali del dibattito architettonico italiano e con quello per la salvaguardia dei centri storici. L’analisi dell’opera ferrarese di Piero Bottoni è così l’occasione per mostrare da un lato un carattere peculiare della sua architettura e, dall’altro, di studiare un contesto cultuale provinciale al fine di mostrare i punti di contatto tra le personalità presenti a Ferrara in quegli anni, di osservarne le reciproche influenze e di distinguere gli scambi avvenuti tra i principali centri della cultura architettonica italiana e un ambito geografico solo apparentemente secondario.
