El Cort a Catalunya

El cort és una magistratura judicial local documentada des del tombant del segle XI al XII amb un caire representatiu comtal pròpia dels indrets repoblats tant sota domini del titular de Barcelona com de l’urgellenc, la qual es veurà afectada per la feudalització, pel desenvolupament urbà i per l’aplicació de fórmules romanistes, alhora que aviat serà espill de les relacions entre el poder municipal i la corona fins haver d’integrar-se, a partir del pas del segle XIII al XIV, en les institucions jurisdiccionals batliars i vicarials. Malgrat la seva arrelada presència, la historiografia sols n’ha apuntat determinats trets destacats gràcies a notoris treballs aïllats fruit, bàsicament, de l’esforç de Klüpfel i Lalinde, cosa que no ha impedit les evidents i excesssives dificultats actuals en la comprensió de la institució i el seu desenvolupament. Potser, doncs, és bo de contribuir a l’homenatge al Dr. Manuel Riu amb l’atenció posada en el cort, malgrat que la limitació d’espai disponible obliga a reduir l’aportació a l’esbós dels eixos articuladors de la figura i la seva evolució.

Produção e qualidade de frutos de cultivares de laranja-doce no norte do Paraná

O objetivo do trabalho foi a caracterização de acessos de laranja-doce [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] do Banco Ativo de Germoplasma de Citros (BAG Citros) do IAPAR, em Londrina-PR. Foram estudados os acessos I-02 'Piralima'; I-03 'Barão'; I-11 'Natal', I-16 'Hamlin', I-17 'Seleta-Vermelha', I-60 'Natal', enxertados sobre limão- 'Cravo' (Citrus limonia Osbeck). As plantas foram conduzidas em espaçamento de 7,0 m x 7,0 m e sem irrigação. Os dados de produção (de 1983 a 1997) e as características físico-químicas dos frutos (de 1984 a 2000), como massa (MF), sólidos solúveis totais (SST), acidez titulável total (ATT), ratio (SST/ATT), rendimento em suco (Suco) e índice tecnológico (IT) foram submetidos à análise de variância, complementada pelo teste de Tukey, a 5% de probabilidade. O acesso I-16 'Hamlin' foi o mais produtivo (218,1 kg por planta) e diferiu-se dos demais. Para a massa do fruto, destacaram-se os acessos I-17 'Seleta-Vermelha' (208,8 g) e I-11 'Natal' (142,0 g), sem diferença entre si. Com relação às características químicas dos frutos, os acessos apresentaram resultados semelhantes, dentro dos padrões considerados adequados para as cultivares, exceto o acesso I-17, 'Seleta- Vermelha', que teve índice tecnológico menor que 2,0 kg.caixa-1 de SST.

Univariate Parametric Survival Analysis using GS-distributions

The GS-distribution is a family of distributions that provide an accurate representation of any unimodal univariate continuous distribution. In this contribution we explore the utility of this family as a general model in survival analysis. We show that the survival function based on the GS-distribution is able to provide a model for univariate survival data and that appropriate estimates can be obtained. We develop some hypotheses tests that can be used for checking the underlying survival model and for comparing the survival of different groups.

Impacts des technologies de l'information sur les modes de coordination à travers quatre études en systèmes d'information

L'évolution de l'environnement économique, des chaînes de valeur et des modèles d'affaires des organisations augmentent l'importance de la coordination, qui peut être définie comme la gestion des interdépendances entre des tâches réalisées par des acteurs différents et concourants à un objectif commun. De nombreux moyens sont mis en oeuvre au sein des organisations pour gérer ces interdépendances. A cet égard, les activités de coordination bénéficient massivement de l'appui des technologies de l'information et de communication (TIC) qui sont désormais disséminées, intégrées et connectées sous de multiples formes tant dans l'environnement privé que professionnel. Dans ce travail, nous avons investigué la question de recherche suivante : comment l'ubiquité et l'interconnec- tivité des TIC modifient-elles les modes de coordination ? A travers quatre études en systèmes d'information conduites selon une méthodologie design science, nous avons traité cette question à deux niveaux : celui de l'alignement stratégique entre les affaires et les systèmes d'information, où la coordination porte sur les interdépendances entre les activités ; et celui de la réalisation des activités, où la coordination porte sur les interdépendances des interactions individuelles. Au niveau stratégique, nous observons que l'ubiquité et l'interconnectivité permettent de transposer des mécanismes de coordination d'un domaine à un autre. En facilitant différentes formes de coprésence et de visibilité, elles augmentent aussi la proximité dans les situations de coordination asynchrone ou distante. Au niveau des activités, les TIC présentent un très fort potentiel de participation et de proximité pour les acteurs. De telles technologies leur donnent la possibilité d'établir les responsabilités, d'améliorer leur compréhension commune et de prévoir le déroulement et l'intégration des tâches. La contribution principale qui émerge de ces quatre études est que les praticiens peuvent utiliser l'ubiquité et l'interconnectivité des TIC pour permettre aux individus de communi-quer et d'ajuster leurs actions pour définir, atteindre et redéfinir les objectifs du travail commun. -- The evolution of the economic environment and of the value chains and business models of organizations increases the importance of coordination, which can be defined as the management of interdependences between tasks carried out by different actors and con-tributing to a common goal. In organizations, a considerable number of means are put into action in order to manage such interdependencies. In this regard, information and communication technologies (ICT), whose various forms are nowadays disseminated, integrated and connected in both private and professional environments, offer important support to coordination activities. In this work, we have investigated the following research question: how do the ubiquity and the interconnectivity of ICT modify coordination mechanisms? Throughout four information systems studies conducted according to a design science methodology, we have looked into this question at two different levels: the one of strategic alignment between business and information systems strategy, where coordination is about interdependencies between activities; and the one of tasks, where coordination is about interdependencies between individual interactions. At the strategic level, we observe that ubiquity and interconnectivity allow for transposing coordination mechanisms from one field to another. By facilitating various forms of copresence and visibility, they also increase proximity in asynchronous or distant coordination situations. At the tasks level, ICTs offer the actors a very high potential for participation and proximity. Such technologies make it possible to establish accountability, improve common understanding and anticipate the unfolding and integration of tasks. The main contribution emerging from these four studies is that practitioners can use the ubiquity and interconnectivity of ICT in order to allow individuals to communicate and adjust their actions to define, reach and redefine the goals of common work.

Dissatisfaction of hospital patients, their relatives, and friends: Analysis of accounts collected in a complaints center.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyze complaints of patients, their relatives, and friends who consulted a complaints center based (Espace Patients & Proches (EPP)) in a hospital so as to better understand the reasons that motivated them and their underlying expectations. METHODS: This study was based on the analysis of written accounts of the 253 situations that occurred during the first year of operation of the EPP. The accounts were analyzed qualitatively using an inductive, thematic analytic approach. RESULTS: We identified 372 different types of complaints and 28 main analytic themes. Five clustered themes emerged from the analysis of the interconnections among the core themes: (1) interpersonal relationship (N=160-the number of accounts including a complaint related to this general theme); (2) technical aspects of care (N=106); (3) health-care institution (N=69); (4) billing and insurance; (5) access to information (N=13). CONCLUSION: The main reason for patients, their relatives, and friends going to EPP was related to the quality of the interpersonal relationship with health-care professionals. Such complaints were markedly more frequent than those concerning technical aspects of care. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: These results raise important questions concerning changing patient expectations as well as how hospitals integrate complaints into the process of quality health care.

La música i els valors de la paciència i la constància

En la etapa infantil la música i els valors, per exemple la paciència i la constància, estan units, i els podem desenvolupar alhora aprenent a escoltar i a expressar el nostre mon intern. La música és una eina important, amb una gran força, doncs influeix directament en les emocions i permet treballar el nostre desenvolupament com a éssers humans. Atesa la gran plasticitat neuronal dels nens fins als 5 anys, és molt recomanable introduir la música dins la seva educació.

What to compare and how: Comparative transcriptomics for Evo-Devo.

Evolutionary developmental biology has grown historically from the capacity to relate patterns of evolution in anatomy to patterns of evolution of expression of specific genes, whether between very distantly related species, or very closely related species or populations. Scaling up such studies by taking advantage of modern transcriptomics brings promising improvements, allowing us to estimate the overall impact and molecular mechanisms of convergence, constraint or innovation in anatomy and development. But it also presents major challenges, including the computational definitions of anatomical homology and of organ function, the criteria for the comparison of developmental stages, the annotation of transcriptomics data to proper anatomical and developmental terms, and the statistical methods to compare transcriptomic data between species to highlight significant conservation or changes. In this article, we review these challenges, and the ongoing efforts to address them, which are emerging from bioinformatics work on ontologies, evolutionary statistics, and data curation, with a focus on their implementation in the context of the development of our database Bgee (http://bgee.org).

Los inicios de la conquista romana de Hispania. Los campamentos de campaña del curso inferior del rio Ebro.

La investigación arqueológica de los campamentos de campaña romano-republicanos localizados en el curso inferior del río Ebro permite una nueva perspectiva de estudio sobre los inicios de la conquista romana en la península ibérica.

La desaparición de los espectáculos de gladiadores en Hispania

Tradicionalmente se ha sostenido que los espectáculos de gladiadores desaparecieron en Hispania durante los primeros decenios del siglo IV. Sin embargo, un examen critico de las fuentes aducidas -cánones pseudoiliberritanos, mosaico de Rielves e inscripciones constantinianas del anfiteatro de Tarragona- pone de manifiesto que no pueden utilizarse para sostener este aserto. En nuestra opinión, tal desaparición está relacionada con el declive municipal iniciado en Hispania en época de los Severos, por lo que cabria fechar los últimos espectáculos de gladiadores celebrados en Hispania durante el primer tercio del siglo III.
