Distribution of socio-economic features in urban space is an important source of information for land and transportation planning. The metropolization phenomenon has changed the distribution of types of professions in space and has given birth to different spatial patterns that the urban planner must know in order to plan a sustainable city. Such distributions can be discovered by statistical and learning algorithms through different methods. In this paper, an unsupervised classification method and a cluster detection method are discussed and applied to analyze the socio-economic structure of Switzerland. The unsupervised classification method, based on Ward's classification and self-organized maps, is used to classify the municipalities of the country and allows to reduce a highly-dimensional input information to interpret the socio-economic landscape. The cluster detection method, the spatial scan statistics, is used in a more specific manner in order to detect hot spots of certain types of service activities. The method is applied to the distribution services in the agglomeration of Lausanne. Results show the emergence of new centralities and can be analyzed in both transportation and social terms.

Amb l'evolució de les noves tecnologies, els Sistemes d'Informació Geogràfica (SIG) es basen cada vegada menys en plataformes propietàries (únicament a l'abast de grans companyies). L'objectiu que persegueix el Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) és que tot el món pugui beneficiar-se de la informació geogràfica, fent que els serveis estiguin disponibles en qualsevol xarxa, aplicació o sistema.

The reproductive assurance hypothesis emphasizes that self-fertilization should evolve in species with reduced dispersal capability, low population size or experiencing recurrent bottlenecks. Our work investigates the ecological components of the habitats colonized by the snail, Galba truncatula, that may influence the evolution of selfing. Galba truncatula is a preferential selfer inhabiting freshwater habitats, which vary with respect to the degree of permanence. We considered with a population genetic approach the spatial and the temporal degree of isolation of populations of G. truncatula. We showed that patches at distances of only a few meters are highly structured. The effective population sizes appear quite low, in the order of 10 individuals or less. This study indicates that individuals of the species G. truncatula are likely to be alone in a site and have a low probability of finding a partner from a nearby site to reproduce. These results emphasize the advantage of selfing in this species.

En el entorno del ejercicio profesional, las destrezas, los valores y actitudes personales, tienen un papel relevante y complementario al de los conocimientos. Este es el motivo de que la enseñanza basada en competencias, como una combinación de saber, ser, hacer y estar con otros, esté en la línea deseada. En este sentido, las universidades han estado elaborando nuevos planes de estudio en los que se desarrollan los nuevos Grados de acuerdo al EEES, incluyendo en estos, las competencias genéricas de cada titulación, que en general, se ciñen a las propuestas presentadas en el proyecto Tuning 2003.La investigación llevada a cabo sobre la competencia comunicativa escrita en el Grado de Ingeniería en Informática, se ha centrado en universidades de toda la geografía española. La información se ha analizado en función de dos marcos de clasificación: el marco curricular (planes de estudio y memorias de verificación de Grado) y el marco de evaluación (rúbricas).La investigación ha corroborado, que la competencia comunicativa escrita, una competencia instrumental genérica que está en el grupo de las destrezas lingüísticas, se trabaja de forma natural en una variedad de asignaturas repartidas a lo largo de los planes de estudio del Grado de Ingeniería en Informática, hecho que favorece la consecución de esta competencia. Aunque solo alrededor de un 20% de los planes de estudio analizados presentan una asignatura, la cual, uno de sus objetivos principales sea la de favorecer la competencia comunicativa escrita, se entiende, además de por la transversalidad de la competencia comunicativa escrita en un plan de estudios TIC, porque esta competencia, como se ha señalado, se puede trabajar de forma eficaz dentro de las metodologías de otras asignaturas.La investigación nos ha llevado a la conclusión, de que un futuro Graduado en Ingeniería Informática de una universidad española, presentará suficiencia en la competencia comunicativa escrita, ya que en esa dirección apuntan las referencias analizadas. El uso de rúbricas se hace necesario para evaluar el aprendizaje de dicha competencia, ya que sin evaluación, no hay posibilidad de constatar si realmente se alcanzan los niveles de calidad deseados.El modelo educativo que propone la UOC, permite que se desarrollen de forma preeminente una serie de competencias transversales, que resultan básicas a la hora de enfrentarse a los retos que nos propone la sociedad, preparando a profesionales, además de con los conocimientos técnicos propios de un Ingeniero en Informática, con las habilidades y competencias transversales necesarias que completan su formación técnica.

Attempts over the past 50 years to explain variation in the abundance, distribution and diversity of plant secondary compounds gave rise to theories of plant defense. Remarkably, few phylogenetically robust tests of these long-standing theories have been conducted. Using >50 species of milkweed (Asclepias spp.), we show that variation among plant species in the induction of toxic cardenolides is explained by latitude, with higher inducibility evolving more frequently at lower latitudes. We also found that: (1) the production of cardenolides showed positive-correlated evolution with the diversity of cardenolides, (2) greater cardenolide investment by a species is accompanied by an increase in an estimate of toxicity (measured as chemical polarity) and (3) instead of trading off, constitutive and induced cardenolides were positively correlated. Analyses of root and shoot cardenolides showed concordant patterns. Thus, milkweed species from lower latitudes are better defended with higher inducibility, greater diversity and added toxicity of cardenolides.

Switzerland appears to be a privileged place to investigate the urban political ecology of tap water because of the specificities of its political culture and organization and the relative abundance of drinking water in the country. In this paper, we refer to a Foucauldian theorization of power that is increasingly employed in the social sciences, including in human geography and political ecology. We also implement a Foucauldian methodology. In particular, we propose an archaeo-genealogical analysis of discourse to apprehend the links between urban water and the forms of governmentality in Switzerland between 1850 and 1950. Results show that two forms of governmentality, namely biopower and neoliberal governmentality, were present in the water sector in the selected period. Nonetheless, they deviate from the models proposed by Foucault, as their periodization and the classification of the technologies of power related to them prove to be much more blurred than Foucault's work, mainly based on France, might have suggested.

L'article transcriu el que va ser una sessió del seminari 'Medi ambient, trajectòries de vida i interdisciplinarietat'. Nous reptes en geografia del gènere, inserit en el programa de tercer cicle en geografia humana de la UAB, corresponent al curs 1991-1992. S'hi presenta una àmplia panoràmica d'un enfocament de gènere per a l'anàlisi dels problemes del medi ambient; això es concreta, d'una banda, en la presentació d'un esbós de la situació de les dones en relació el medi ambient; diferenciant, segons les seves especificitats d'índole diversa, entre països desenvolupats i subdesenvolupats, i, d'altra banda, en un intent de sistematització de les línies de recerca i acció que són impulsades per les estudioses i les activistes en matèria de medi ambient i gènere

This article lies within the sphere of studies initiated recently in various social sciences and which aim to introduce women's problems as an element of analysis, or in other words, the gender perspective. In the field of geography, the earliest contributions of this nature were made in English-speaking countries. It is only in the 1980s that similar contributions begin to appear in Spanish geography, albeit sporadically . In the first part of this article, an analysis is made of the presence of women geographers in Spanish universities, based on a questionnaire submitted to twenty-six departments of geography. The questionnaires provide information on the age, sex and marital status of women staff, and other relevant facts. It becomes evident that women lecturers are in the minority in Spanish university Geography Departments, especially in the top posts, although the percentage compares favourably with English-speaking countries. The second part of the article consists of a study of the written contributions of women geographers through the analysis of the various geographical magazines published by geography departments and other related bodies. The author reaches the conclusion that the percentage of articles written by women geographers is even lower than the corresponding percentage of staff members. Especially noteworthy is the very limited number of articles in the fields of physical geography and geographical theory, in contrast to a certain tendency to publish studies on, for example, population or urban topics with a highly restricted territorial scope

The perception of the landscape is a broad, multidisciplinary. complex field of study, but one which is vital for systematic landscape planning. This is especially true with regard to tourism, which is particularly sensitive to landscape considerations. Both the article's analysis from the point of view of human geography, and the process by which the individual and the collective group perceive and engage in an aesthetic evaluation of the landscape, are of fundamental importance to any interaction with the landscape
