Commonalities and discrepancies in English language teaching programs: an outlook on the european scenario
No full textNowadays, an increasing number of postgraduate studies in language
and literature teaching are considering the possibility of moving abroad to teach
their mother tongue or their first foreign language. For this purpose, the
programs organized by governmental bodies in the field of culture and education
serve as an incentive and economic stimulus. In fact, in the case of Spain, the
Ministry of Education and Vocational Training offered 815 places in the call for
Spanish language assistants abroad for the academic year 2020-2021. The
network of countries participating in this program included Germany, Australia,
Austria, Belgium, Canada, United States, Russia, France, Ireland, Italy, Norway,
New Zealand, United Kingdom, Sweden and Switzerland
Diversity and agency in evolutionary friezes for teaching prehistory. An analysis based on Secondary Education Geography and History textbooks
No full textLos frisos evolutivos son un recurso didáctico fundamental en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la evolución humana, muy especialmente en Educación Secundaria. Sin embargo, el
modelo gráfico de representación de las homininas y homininos en el proceso evolutivo aún
responde a fuertes estereotipos y sesgos heredados del discurso arqueológico decimonónico,
mostrando un modelo unidireccional que limita la condición humana de diversidad. El trabajo analiza una muestra de 14 frisos evolutivos de libros de texto adscritos a la LOE, LOMCE y
LOMLOE. El objetivo es conocer los modelos de representación humana, su diversidad, así como
sesgos, estereotipos y errores. Se sigue un análisis de contenido descriptivo con enfoque mixto
y se construye un instrumento categorial ad hoc. Los resultados informan del predomino de un
modelo iconográfico que limita la condición de la diversidad humana con tendencia a una evolución finalista y direccionada hacia el hombre joven, blanco y occidental.Els frisos evolutius són un recurs didàctic fonamental en l’ensenyament i l’aprenentatge
de l’evolució humana, especialment a l’Educació Secundària. Tanmateix, el model gràfic de representació dels hominins i hominines en el procés evolutiu continua responent a forts estereotips
i biaixos heretats del discurs arqueològic del segle XIX, mostrant un model unidireccional que
limita la condició humana de diversitat. Aquest treball analitza una mostra de 14 frisos evolutius
de llibres de text vinculats a la LOE, la LOMCE i la LOMLOE. L’objectiu és conèixer els models
de representació humana, la seva diversitat, així com els biaixos, estereotips i errors que s’hi observen. S’hi aplica una anàlisi de contingut descriptiva amb enfocament mixt i es construeix un
instrument categorial ad hoc. Els resultats informen del predomini d’un model iconogràfic que
restringeix la diversitat humana i tendeix a presentar una evolució finalista i dirigida cap a l’home
jove, blanc i occidental.Evolutionary friezes are a fundamental teaching resource in the teaching and learning
of human evolution, especially in Secondary Education. However, the graphic model of representation of hominins and hominins in the evolutionary process still responds to strong stereotypes
and biases inherited from the nineteenth-century archaeological discourse, showing a unidirectional model that limits the human condition of diversity. The work analyzes a sample of 14
evolutionary friezes from textbooks attached to the LOE, LOMCE and LOMLOE. The objective
is to know the models of human representation, their diversity, as well as biases, stereotypes and
errors. A descriptive content analysis with a mixed approach is followed and an ad hoc categorical
instrument is built. The results report the predominance of an iconographic model that limits the
condition of human diversity with a tendency towards a finalistic evolution directed towards the
young, white and western man
Acculturazione e senso di appartenenza: donne emigrate nei racconti italo-canadesi
No full textIn keeping with current theories of migration and acculturation
(Berry 1995; Berry and Hou 2016), this article seeks to identify
the different stages of acculturation in relation to the concept of
“belonging” outlined by Nira Yuval Davis (2006) in three short
stories written in English by Italian Canadian female authors:
Delia de Santis, Caterina Edwards, and Licia Canton. These
emerging, first generation writers tend to concentrate on the
cultural connections between Italy and Canada (Caporale-Bizzini
2018), and thus provide a meaningful contribution to both worlds.
The varying nature of the protagonists’ bonding with their
country of origin and that of their settlement will reveal how these
relations affect the performative agency of fictional female Italian
immigrants in Canada.In linea con le attuali teorie della migrazione e dell'acculturazione
(Berry 1995; Berry e Hou 2016), questo articolo cerca di
identificare le diverse fasi dell'acculturazione in relazione al
concetto di “appartenenza” delineato da Nira Yuval Davis (2006)
in tre racconti scritti in inglese da autrici italo-canadesi: Delia de
Santis, Caterina Edwards e Licia Canton. Queste scrittrici
emergenti di prima generazione tendono a concentrarsi sulle
connessioni culturali tra Italia e Canada (Caporale-Bizzini 2018),
fornendo così un contributo significativo a entrambi i mondi. La
diversa natura del legame delle protagoniste con il loro Paese
d'origine e con quello di insediamento rivelerà come queste
relazioni influenzino l'agency performativa delle donne italiane
immigrate in Canada
Almenara de Adaja-Puras (Valladolid, İspanya) Roma Villası Üzerine: Mimari Yapı, Duvar Resimleri ve Mozaikler
No full textAcross the Douro Basin, in Spain, there are a number of remarkable uillae that have been documented both for their magnificent architecture and for the beauty of their mosaics. The Roman Villa of Almenara de Adaja-Puras, in the province of Valladolid, is one of them. Discovered and partially excavated in the first half of the 20th century, it was not until the beginning of the following century that it was completely excavated and, therefore, its decorative designs for floors and walls were uncovered.
The most notable features are the good state of preservation of the mosaic floors -all of them are almost entirely preserved-, their distribution throughout the house, the presence of other types of flooring -opus signinum and mortar-, and also, the existence of a notable group of mural paintings, some of them preserved in situ, while others recovered from debris on pavements. Based on all these remains, the functionality of each room in the house is analysed in its entirety, taking into account the type of floor, the decorative content of the mosaics and the painted decoration of the walls. Finally, markings on the mosaics provide evidence of the internal circulation in the house.Douro Havzası boyunca, İspanya’da, hem görkemli mimarileri hem de mozaiklerinin güzelliğiyle belgelenmiş
çok sayıda dikkat çekici villa bulunmaktadır. Valladolid kenti sınırlarındaki Almenara de Adaja-Puras Roma
Villası da bunlardan biridir. 20. yüzyılın ilk yarısında keşfedilip kısmen kazılan yapı, ancak bir sonraki yüzyılın
başında tamamen kazılmış ve böylece hem zemin hem de duvarlardaki dekoratif tasarımlar açığa çıkarılmıştır.
En dikkat çekici özellikler arasında, mozaik döşemelerin iyi korunmuş olması –hemen hepsi neredeyse
bütünüyle günümüze ulaşmıştır–, ev içerisindeki dağılımları, başka tür döşemelerin varlığı (opus signinum
ve harç), ayrıca dikkate değer bir duvar resmi grubunun bulunması sayılabilir; bunların bir kısmı yerinde (in
situ) korunmuş, bir kısmı ise döşemeler üzerinde döküntülerden toplanarak kurtarılmıştır. Bu kalıntılardan
yola çıkarak, her bir odanın işlevi; döşeme türü, mozaiklerin dekoratif içeriği ve duvarların boyalı süslemeleri
birlikte değerlendirilerek bütüncül bir biçimde analiz edilmiştir. Son olarak mozaikler üzerindeki işaretler, ev
içindeki dolaşım düzenine ilişkin kanıt sağlamaktadı

La transición hacia una economía circular a través de la contratación pública
No full textDesde hace más de una década, los planes de acción para una economía
circular se integran en las estrategias de la Unión Europea dirigidas a consolidar un modelo económico climáticamente neutro, sostenible y eficiente en el
uso de los recursos. En la actualidad, la transición hacia una economía circular sigue formando parte de la agenda legislativa europea, configurándose
como el objetivo climático fundamental para garantizar la autonomía energética de la Unión Europea y reducir la dependencia de materias primas importadas en un contexto geopolítico cada vez más incierto.
La transformación del modelo de producción y consumo conforme a las
prácticas de circularidad requiere actuaciones específicas desde distintas políticas públicas. En este marco, la contratación pública se erige como un instrumento estratégico para el impulso de dicho proceso, no solo por su potencial efecto ejemplarizante, sino también por su capacidad para dinamizar un
mercado emergente de bienes y servicios alineados con los principios de la
economía circular.For over a decade, circular economy action plans have been incorporated
into the European Union’s strategies aimed at consolidating a climate-neutral,
sustainable, resource-efficient, and competitive economic model, while
strengthening energy autonomy and security. At present, the transition towards
a circular economy remains a priority on the EU legislative agenda, also serving to reduce reliance on imported raw materials in an increasingly uncertain
geopolitical context.
The transformation of production and consumption systems in line with
circularity principles requires specific actions across multiple public policy
areas. Within this framework, public procurement emerges as a strategic instrument to foster such a transition, not only due to its exemplary function
but also because of its capacity to stimulate a developing market for goods
and services consistent with the principles of the circular economy.Este trabajo ha sido elaborado en el marco del proyecto de investigación «Fomento de la economía circular a través de la contratación pública local» (TED2021-132503A-I00) financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación
Effects of Whey Protein, Carbohydrate, and Fibre Combination on Health Indicators: A Systematic Review
No full textThis systematic review has synthesised the available evidence on healthy indicators of whey protein combined with carbohydrates and fibre intake in adults, providing a comprehensive overview of existing research. For this purpose, a comprehensive search was performed across the following databases to retrieve all relevant studies (n = 21; Kappa = 0.758): Scopus®, EBSCOhost, and PubMed®. The studies included, which involved both athletic and non-athletic participants, argue that the intake of whey protein and carbohydrates has a positive impact on the average blood glucose and insulin response, while others have found no significant effects. When projecting the research toward the health benefits of whey protein and fibre consumption, the divergence decreased. Researchers demonstrate that the whey-protein-with-fibre combination intake improves glycemic control more effectively than consuming whey protein or carbohydrate alone. One potential approach is the balance by incorporating fibre, which may help mitigate adverse effects, contributing to reducing hepatic toxicity, caused by whey protein intake, due to dietary fibre’s ability to promote partial nutrient absorption. These findings support the use of whey protein and fibre combination as an efficient dietary approach to improved functional food formulations designed for specific health outcomes such as supporting chronic disease prevention and health-promoting diets worldwide. Nevertheless, there are a few limitations in the research, such as the heterogeneity of population characteristics, participants’ diet, and lifestyle

Archaeomagnetic Tools Applied to the Study of Middle Palaeolithic Hearths: The Level R (ca. 60 ka BP) at Abric Romaní (NE Iberian Peninsula)
No full textDue to its long occupation throughout the Middle Palaeolithic and the abundance of its pyrotechnological evidence, the Abric Romaní rockshelter (Capellades, Barcelona) provides an ideal setting for studying Neanderthal fire use. We conducted an archaeomagnetic study of four hearths from Level R (ca. 60 ky BP). Rock magnetism experiments, including hysteresis loops, and backfield, isothermal remanent magnetisation acquisition and thermo-magnetic curves, were conducted on three specimens per hearth to investigate their magnetic mineralogy. To explore the raw material’s ability to become magnetised, we performed a laboratory-induced partial thermo-remanent magnetisation acquisition in a 50μT field at various increasing temperatures. Our results indicate that the material is predominantly diamagnetic, but contains a small proportion of low coercivity magnetic minerals, likely magnetite. A total of 106 oriented specimens underwent progressive thermal demagnetisation up to 580 °C. Directional results at the specimen level show either a single component or two: one between 250 and 420 °C and another between 300 and 550 °C. Three out of the four hearths yielded normal-polarity archaeomagnetic directions, within the range of secular variation expected for their estimated age; the poor quality of the data prevented any analysis of the remaining structure. These findings suggest that, despite the hearths’ low content in ferromagnetic minerals, they are able to acquire a thermal or thermochemical-remanent magnetisation, accurately recording the Earth’s magnetic field though their high-temperature component. The low-temperature component may reflect a subsequent thermo-chemical or chemical alteration that partially remagnetised the original direction.This work was funded by the FPU20/03664 contract granted by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, the project PID2019105796GB-I00 of the Agencia Estatal de Investigación, Junta de Castilla y León, the European Regional Development Fund (project BU037P23), and Fundación PALARQ.
