Dona, endevinació i mite a l’antiga Grècia

El plantejament de fer un treball final en la modalitat acadèmica permet a l’estudiant d’aprofundir en algun aspecte acadèmic que li hagi semblat interessant i del que cregui no tenir gaire o suficients coneixements. Aquest és el meu cas. En el segon any del màster vaig cursar l’assignatura Elaboracions del mite, impartida per l’Emilio Suárez, que em va permetre accedir a l’antiga Grècia amb una àmplia panoràmica que abraçava la mitologia des de diferents fonts —arqueològiques i textuals—, la història i la literatura. Si bé la majoria d’assignatures que he cursat s’han centrat —casualment— en les arts de finals del segle XIX i principis del XX, les referències a la cultura antiga han sigut constants en el màster i aquesta perseverança és el motiuque em va conduir cap a un tema que mirés cap aquest passat llunyà que, tanmateix, gaudeix de la reminiscència pròpia de qualsevol llegat.

An observational study of the 7 September 2005 Barcelona tornado outbreak

This paper presents an observational study of the tornado outbreak that took place on the 7 September 2005 in the Llobregat delta river, affecting a densely populated and urbanised area and the Barcelona International airport (NE Spain). The site survey confirmed at least five short-lived tornadoes. Four of them were weak (F0, F1) and the other one was significant (F2 on the Fujita scale). They started mostly as waterspouts and moved later inland causing extensive damage estimated in 9 million Euros, three injured people but fortunately no fatalities. Large scale forcing was provided by upper level diffluence and low level warm air advection. Satellite and weather radar images revealed the development of the cells that spawned the waterspouts along a mesoscale convergence line in a highly sheared and relatively low buoyant environment. Further analysis indicated characteristics that could be attributed indistinctively to non-supercell or to mini-supercell thunderstorms.

Educational attainment and timing of fertility decisions

This paper focuses on timing of fertility decisions, conditional on the level of educational attainment of parents. Timing of fertility and educational attainment of parents rationalize the negative relationship observed in the data between hourly wages and childbearing. It is shown how the recent evolution in total fertility rates observed in developed countries could be in part the result of a transition from an early childbearing regime to a late childbearing regime. I develop a general equilibrium overlapping generations model in order to understand the joint determination of timing of childbearing decisions together with other household economic decisions in a life cycle framework. I show how idiosyncratic uncertainty might have asymmetric efects on completed fertility depending on timing of childbearing, generating the diferences in completed fertility observed between households that difer in their level of educational attainment.
