Seminario Administración pública y gestión de riesgos

Reseña del seminario organizado desde los Estudios de Derecho y Ciencia Política de la UOC por el Dr. Marc Tarrés. La actividad se realizó bajo el auspicio de la Escuela de Administración Pública de Cataluña y tuvo lugar en el Salón de Grados de la Universidad de Barcelona (UB), los días 19 y 20 de noviembre del 2008. El seminario contó con la presencia de reconocidos especialistas procedentes de los ámbitos académico y judicial, quienes expusieron ante una nutrida concurrencia el papel de los poderes públicos ante situaciones de riesgo. Los ponentes fueron el Dr. José Esteve Pardo, catedrático de Derecho Administrativo de la UB, el Dr. Juan Antonio Carrillo Donaire, profesor titular de Derecho administrativo de la Universidad de Sevilla, el Dr. Gabriel Doménech, profesor de Derecho administrativo del CEU - San Pablo de Valencia, el Ilmo. Sr. Manuel Táboas Bentanachs, magistrado de la Sala Contenciosa Administrativa del TSJ de Cataluña, y el Dr. Francesc Rodríguez Pontón, profesor titular de Derecho administrativo de la UB. En el transcurso de dos jornadas se abordaron especialmente los casos relacionados con la seguridad de los alimentos, la biotecnología y la protección medioambiental. En todos esos sectores se analizó la operatividad del principio de precaución, la responsabilidad de las administraciones públicas, el papel del procedimiento administrativo y la autorregulación.

Un testimonio tardío de ludi theatrales en Hispania

Una carta escrita por el rey Visigodo Sisebuto (612-621) y dirigida al obispo metropolitano de Tarragona, Eusebio, nos proporciona posiblemente la fecha más tardía para la exhibición de 'ludi theatrales' en Hispania (614/620). Esto no supone que debamos utilizar esta epístola para datar la última representación en 'Hispania' de otros tipos de juegos, como los 'ludi circeneses' o las 'venationes'. Es probable que los espectáculos mencionados en esta misiva fueran de tipo privado. Los obispos tenían prohibido asistir a éstos según algunos cánones de concilios eclesiásticos.

Edificio de 68 viviendas en el 22@ Barcelona

A partir de una volumetría marcada y definida, el proyecto consta de 68 viviendas de 70m2 repartidas en pb+6 y pb+11 en la parte de la torre. Se propone una planta tipo clara con una franja central de núcleo de servicios. Esto se consigue mediante pequeños recortes en la fachada que dan juegos de luz y color a la pieza estableciendo diferencias entre los alzados los cuales, a su vez,recuperan el uso de la ventana horizontal.

La geografía vital y psicológica de la interculturalidad

This article suggests and discusses the surroundings (geography) of the interculturality. Traditionally the intercultural studies in educational sciences have been reduced to educational practice in schools. Nevertheless, it is suggested other areas or geographies to research and intervene. Based on Bronfenbrenner¿s ecologic model and the "vital and psychological geography" term, I propose the existence of four types of intercultural geographies: micro-intercultural, meso-intercultural, exo-intercultural and macro-intercultural geography. After defining these concepts, we illustrate them with some examples from different experiences and intervention-research projects. Finally, I suggest the "cultural psychogeography" as a discipline to understand the cultural function, origin and causes of social, educative and psychological phenomenons like interculturality

LUDOLITERACY Informe sobre la alfabetización mediática en el juego digital. Experiencias en Europa

El informe que a continuación presentamos recoge 18 experiencias, proyectos, actividades,investigaciones o políticas más significativas que se realizan en Europa relacionadas con la alfabetización mediática en el contexto de los videojuegos (ludoliteracy). La ludoliteracy tiene como finalidad potenciar las capacidades y competencias analíticas, reflexivas y creativas alrededor del juego digital. Se trata, en conjunto, de propuestas que permiten al ciudadano (joven o adulto, profesional o usuario) y a la sociedad en general ser más conscientes de nuestros propios placeres, tener capacidad crítica y competencia creativa en el campo específico de los juegos digitales.El objetivo final del informe es ofrecer recomendaciones en un campo socialmente controvertido y económicamente situado a la cabeza de las industrias culturales pero institucionalmente emplazado en los márgenes de las políticas educativas estatales y europeas.

Prevalencia de la sintomatología del Síndrome de Asperger y variables asociadas en preescolares españoles

Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) forms part of the whole spectrum of autistic disorders. Until recently it has not been studied in early ages. The aim of this study is to determine the AS’s prevalence of symptoms in general preschool, rural and urban population. In addition, the association of the development areas and symptoms of anxiety and the presence of symptoms of AS was analized. The sample ofthis study consisted in 1104 preschool children between 3-6 years old. The presence of AS’s symptoms was evaluated by a screening tool for psychiatric disorders. This tool was applied to both, preschooler’s parents and their teachers The prevalence of symptoms of AS for parents and teachers was 11.7‰ and 8.1‰, respectively. The presence of AS’s symptoms was associated with language compression delays, general and fine motor coordination, self-help skills and impairment in game activities. In addition, our results showed that the AS has a strong association with specific phobia symptoms and tics. We conclude that an early detection of AS’s symptoms is possible since we found similar prevalence described in other recent researches. Given the impairment associated with AS, its detection is highly recommended

Estabilidade físico-química e mercado do mexilhão (Perna perna) cultivado em Ubatuba - SP

O presente estudo objetivou caracterizar o mexilhão Perna perna como alimento no que se refere à estabilidade físico-química, valor nutricional e consumo. Os mexilhões avaliados foram coletados em três regiões distintas do litoral norte de São Paulo: praia da Barra Seca, praia do Engenho da Almada e costão do Cedro. Determinou-se a composição centesimal (umidade, proteína bruta, carboidrato, lipídios e cinza), o valor calórico, o pH e as bases voláteis nitrogenadas totais. Paralelamente foi realizado estudo de mercado, através de questionários não estruturados, aplicados aos comerciantes e consumidores locais. Detectou-se variação dos constituintes químicos dos mexilhões em função da sazonalidade, bem como, do local de origem destes. Estes constituem uma fonte protéica (9,1 g.100 g-1), com baixo teor lipídico (1,1 g.100 g-1) e calórico (72,7 Kcal.100 g-1). Apresentaram uma estabilidade físico-química de 4 dias, sob temperatura de 10 °C (±1), conforme aferido pelos resultados apresentados, que não se correlacionaram entre si. No geral, os estabelecimentos comerciais apontaram uma preferência pela aquisição do mexilhão sem as conchas e uma maior demanda do produto preparado na forma de vinagrete. Foi diagnosticado o desconhecimento do produto pelos consumidores e conseqüente necessidade de marketing visando sua promoção.

Quality of mussels cultivated and commercialized in Ubatuba, SP, Brazil: monitoration Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus growth after post-harvest processing

Aiming at improving the quality of Perna perna mussels cultivated and commercialized in Ubatuba, SP, Brazil, the growth and elimination of Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus artificially inoculated in mussels were studied. The inoculation was carried out in "in natura" and pre-cooked mussels for 30 min, and after that the mussels were kept for 10 hours at room temperature (25 ± 1 °C) and under refrigeration (7 ± 1 °C). Six thermal treatments were evaluated: three using steam (5, 10 and 15 minutes) and three in boiling water (5, 10 and 15 minutes), in order to find the best time/temperature binomial to provide pathogenic control. Yield and physical-chemical and sensory characteristics were evaluated. All thermal treatments were efficient to eliminate microorganisms in 2 logarithmic cycles. However, the boiling water treatments presented better results than the steam treatments. The physical-chemical and sensory analyses did not show statistical differences among the thermal treatments studied. The best performances were reached in the shortest times of heat exposure. Overall, the treatments in boiling water presented better results than the steam treatments.
