La segunda expedición de Balmis, revolución y vacuna

Cuatro años después de concluir la Real Expedición Filantrópica de la Vacuna (REFV) (1803-1806) en calidad de director, Francisco Xavier Balmis emprendió una nueva comisión con destino a México que le mantuvo allí desde 1810 a 1813. El objetivo inicial para el que fue comisionado pasaba por verificar si la estrategia de vacunación implantada a través de las Juntas era eficaz y, asimismo, encontrar una fuente de fluido vacuno autóctona que permitiera continuar la acción vacunadora. Balmis ejerció también una actividad política en favor de la monarquía hispánica, involucrándose en el conflicto revolucionario que preludiaba la independencia del país.

Sobre la cronología final de la TSHTM: el ejemplo del Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete)

En el presente trabajo realizamos una serie de valoraciones sobre el conjunto de fragmentos de hispánica tardía meridional (TSHTM) recuperados en el Tolmo de Minateda, cuyo análisis se relaciona con los datos preliminares que se desprenden del estudio pormenorizado de miles de fragmentos de cerámica para el servicio de mesa recuperados a lo largo de más de dos décadas de investigaciones en el yacimiento manchego.

El papel del clero en la expulsión de los jesuitas decretada por Carlos III en 1767

El presente trabajo trata sobre la reacción del clero secular y regular ante la expulsión de los jesuitas de la monarquía hispánica en 1767. Veremos las opiniones de algunos de los obispos favorables a la política regalista de Carlos III, y cómo actuaron antes la operación mejor diseñada y más eficaz contra la Compañía de Jesús en los amplios territorios del monarca Borbón. Al mismo tiempo, analizaremos los comentarios de los propios expulsos sobre el clero español y las consecuencias que tuvieron ambas reacciones.

Composição química da folha e do caule de Calamintha baetica

A área das plantas aromáticas e medicinais teve uma dinâmica de crescimento notável nos últimos anos incentivada pela procura de novos produtos bioativos mas também como fonte de nutrientes. O género Calamintha pertence à família Lamiaceae e em Portugal o seu uso está intrinsecamente associado às suas propriedades aromáticas, condimentares, ornamentais ou medicinais, tendo como exemplos a Salvia (salva), Ocimum (manjericão), Origanum (orégão), Mentha (hortelã), Romarinus (alecrim), Melissa (erva cidreira) e Calamintha (erva-das-azeitonas). A espécie da planta Calamintha baetica Boiss et Heldr encontra-se largamente distribuída pela região do Mediterrâneo e é considerada uma espécie pioneira colonizadora, principalmente de prados secos; de berma dos caminhos rurais, de terrenos selvagens na orla dos pinhais. As folhas produzem um aroma agradável, entre hortelã e orégãos, sendo muito apreciadas para temperos na cozinha e para fazer infusões. Em alguns lugares é usada para temperar azeitona e talvez por isso seja também conhecida por erva-das-azeitonas, mas também é designada por nêveda ou calaminta. Neste trabalho pretende-se caracterizar a folha e o caule da espécie C. baetica no que respeita à sua composição química. Para o efeito quantificaram-se os seguintes parâmetros: humidade, cinzas, gordura, proteínas, hidratos de carbono e valor energético e também se estudou o perfil em ácidos gordos por cromatografia gasosa acoplada a um detetor de ionização de chama (GC/FID). A amostra de folha de C. baetica revelou uma maior percentagem em proteína, com 11,81% (m.s.) e o caule em hidratos de carbono, com 20,54%. No que respeita a teores em gordura, a amostra de folha evidenciou valores ligeiramente superiores (3,30%, m.s.) aos do caule (1,13%, m.s.). A análise por cromatografia gasosa permitiu identificar três ácidos gordos maioritários (% relativas), entre os quais os polinsaturados α-linolénico, com 69,11% e 44,93% e o linoleico com 10,03% e 23,83% e ainda o saturado palmítico, com 11,55% e 17,09% para a amostra de folha e caule, respetivamente.

l bilanciamento tra le libertà economiche e i diritti sociali collettivi operato dalla Corte di Giustizia è un contemperamento tra diritti equiordinati?* = The balance between economic freedoms and collective social rights and actions; Court of Justice is a choice between rights equiordinati? Actions by the Court of Justice. WP C.S.D.L.E. “Massimo D’Antona”.INT – 98/2012

In the Viking and Laval judgments and more recently in the Comm. v. Germany ruling, the Court of Justice applied the proportionality test to collective rights, setting a series of restrictions to the exercise of the right to strike and the right to collective bargaining. The way the ECJ balances the economic freedoms and the social rights is indeed very different from that of the Italian Constitutional Court. Unlike the European Union Treaties, the Italian Constitution recognizes an important role to the right to take collective action which has to be connected with article 3, paragraph 2, consequently the right of strike is more protected than the exercise of economic freedoms.

Medicinal plants - prophylactic and therapeutic options for gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases in calves and piglets? A systematic review.

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases in calves and piglets lead to significant economic losses in livestock husbandry. A high morbidity has been reported for diarrhea (calves ≤ 35 %; piglets ≤ 50 %) and for respiratory diseases (calves ≤ 80 %; piglets ≤ 40 %). Despite a highly diverse etiology and pathophysiology of these diseases, treatment with antimicrobials is often the first-line therapy. Multi-antimicrobial resistance in pathogens results in international accordance to strengthen the research in novel treatment options. Medicinal plants bear a potential as alternative or additional treatment. Based on the versatile effects of their plant specific multi-component-compositions, medicinal plants can potentially act as 'multi-target drugs'. Regarding the plurality of medicinal plants, the aim of this systematic review was to identify potential medicinal plant species for prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases and for modulation of the immune system and inflammation in calves and piglets. RESULTS Based on nine initial sources including standard textbooks and European ethnoveterinary studies, a total of 223 medicinal plant species related to the treatment of gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases was identified. A defined search strategy was established using the PRISMA statement to evaluate 30 medicinal plant species starting from 20'000 peer-reviewed articles published in the last 20 years (1994-2014). This strategy led to 418 references (257 in vitro, 84 in vivo and 77 clinical trials, thereof 48 clinical trials in veterinary medicine) to evaluate effects of medicinal plants and their efficacy in detail. The findings indicate that the most promising candidates for gastrointestinal diseases are Allium sativum L., Mentha x piperita L. and Salvia officinalis L.; for diseases of the respiratory tract Echinacea purpurea (L.) MOENCH, Thymus vulgaris L. and Althea officinalis L. were found most promising, and Echinacea purpurea (L.) MOENCH, Camellia sinensis (L.) KUNTZE, Glycyrrhiza glabra L. and Origanum vulgare L. were identified as best candidates for modulation of the immune system and inflammation. CONCLUSIONS Several medicinal plants bear a potential for novel treatment strategies for young livestock. There is a need for further research focused on gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases in calves and piglets, and the findings of this review provide a basis on plant selection for future studies.

Pollen profile of sediment core Dethlingen, Germany

To better understand the environmental variability during the Holsteinian interglacial, we have palynologically analyzed a new core from Dethlingen, northern Germany, at a decadal resolution. Our data provide insights into the vegetation dynamics and thus also climate variability during the meso- to telocratic forest phases of the interglacial. Temperate mixed forests dominated the regional landscape throughout the Holsteinian. However, changes in the forest composition during the younger stages of the interglacial suggest a climatic transition towards milder conditions in winter. The strong presence of boreal floral elements during the older stages of the Holsteinian interglacial suggests a high seasonality. In contrast, during the younger stages the development of sub-Atlantic and Atlantic floral elements suggests increasingly warm and humid climatic conditions. Peak warming during the younger stage of the Holsteinian is marked by the maximum pollen abundances of Buxus, Abies, and Quercus. Although the vegetation dynamics suggest a general warming trend throughout the Holsteinian interglacial, abrupt as well as gradual changes in the relative abundances of temperate plants indicate considerable climatic variability. In particular, two marked declines in temperate taxa leading to the transient development of boreal and sub-temperate forests indicate short-term climatic oscillations that occurred within full interglacial conditions. The palynological signatures of these two regressive phases in vegetation development differ with regard to the expansion of pioneer trees, the abundances and rates of change of temperate taxa, and the presence of frost-sensitive taxa. These differences point to different mechanisms responsible for the individual regressive phases. Assuming a correlation of the interglacial at Dethlingen with Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 11, our data suggest that temperate forests prevailed in northern Germany during the younger parts of MIS 11c.
