Bacteria use structural imperfect mimicry to hijack the host interactome
No full textBacteria use protein-protein interactions to infect their hosts and hijack fundamental pathways, which ensures their survival and proliferation. Hence, the infectious capacity of the pathogen is closely related to its ability to interact with host proteins. Here, we show that hubs in the host-pathogen interactome are isolated in the pathogen network by adapting the geometry of the interacting interfaces. An imperfect mimicry of the eukaryotic interfaces allows pathogen proteins to actively bind to the host's target while preventing deleterious effects on the pathogen interactome. Understanding how bacteria recognize eukaryotic proteins may pave the way for the rational design of new antibiotic molecules.Funding: Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MEC): Marc Torrent RYC-2012-09999; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MEC): Marc Torrent SAF2015-72518-EXP; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MEC): Marc Torrent SAF2017-82158-R; European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID): Marc Torrent ESCMID-201

El torrent de Muntanya
No full text[cat] Presentam la topografia i descripció del torrent de Muntanya, situat al terme d’Escorca, a la vessant nord del puig Tomir. En el seu recorregut travessa les terres de la possessió de Muntanya, s’engorja minsament a un espectacular paratge càrstic tot just abans d’obrir-se definitivament a la vall d’en Marc d’on pren camí definitiu cap a la vila de Pollença. El torrent comparteix protagonisme al llarg de bona part del recorregut amb el traçat del camí Vell de Lluc; via d’unió entre el Santuari i la citada vila. De la mateixa manera com a complement de la descripció paisatgística de la zona presentam la topografia de dues fonts: la font de Muntanya i la font de s’Hort Nou que, amb les seves aportacions, alimenten una sèrie de canaletes i espais de conreu.[eng] We present the survey and description of the Torrent de Muntanya, which is situated in the municipality of Escorca, on the north slopes of the Puig Tomir. It crosses the land of the Possessió de Muntanya, where it forms a gorge in a spectacular karstic area just before finally opening into the Vall d’en Marc where it heads towards the village of Pollença. The torrent follows for a good part of route of the ancient Lluc track, which links the Santuari and the cited village. At the same time and to complete the description of the landscape we present the survey of two springs: the Font de Muntanya and the Font de s’Hort Nou, which feed a series of channals and farmland
Un torrent oublié mais catastrophique en Haute-Ariège
No full textThe forgotten torrent : the spasmodic nature of the « Torrent du Lagal » in the commune of Perles-le-Castelet, 1771-1986. The Ariège valley between Tarascón and Ax-les-Thermes, has experienced an intense torrential activity : this is proven in the archives from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, and traces of it can be found in the stratification of alluvial cones. The history established from these sources shows a cyclical pattern of torrent phenomena, which are concentrated in genuine erosive crises at the end of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The Torrent du Lagal, at Perles-le-Castelet reflects this history of hydrological disasters : it has suffered about fifteen torrential crises in two centuries and it has a sizeable cone with a stratigraphy that describes, through a depth of several meters, the alternate phases of calm and crisis. After a lull of 70 years, the torrent, which had been somewhat forgotten, once again, made known its menacing presence in 1985 (as did several other torrents) in a number of villages and along a main road.Le Val d'Ariège, entre Tarascon et Ax-les-Thermes, a connu une intense activité torrentielle ; elle est attestée par les archives au cours de la période XVII-XIXe siècle et on peut en retrouver les traces dans la stratigraphie des cônes de déjection. La chronologie établie à partir des sources montre une réapparition cyclique des phénomènes torrentiels, qui se concentrent en véritables crises érosives à la fin du XVIIe, XVIIIe et XIXe siècle. Le torrent du Lagal, au Castelet, est représentatif de cette histoire catastrophique : il a connu une quinzaine de paroxysmes torrentiels en deux siècles et possède un cône important avec une stratigraphie montrant, sur plusieurs mètres d'épaisseur, la succession des phases de calme et de crise. Après 70 ans d'accalmie, le torrent qui avait été un peu oublié a rappelé en 1985 la menace qu'il fait peser, ainsi que plusieurs autres, sur des villages et un axe fréquenté.Resumen. — El torrente olvidado. Permanencia y paroxismos de la torrencialidad catastrófica en haute-ariège : el torrente del lagal, termino municipal de Perles-le-Castelet, 1772-1986. El valle del Ariege, entre Tarascón y Ax-les-Thermes ha sufrido intensa actividad torrencial. Para el período siglos XVII al XIX, los archivos atestan esta actividad cuyas huellas se pueden encontrar en la estratigrafía de los conos de deyección. La cronología establecida partiendo de las fuentes muestra la aparición cíclica de los fenómenos de torrencialidad que representan auténticas crisis de erosión a finales de los siglos XVII, XVIII y XIX. El Torrente del Lagal, en Castelet, es buena muestra de esta historia catastrófica con unos quince paroxismos torrenciales en dos siglos. La estratigrafía de su importante cono muestra, en varios metros de espesor, la sucesión dz las fases de calmé y de crisis. En 1985, olvidado o casi por todo el mundo, y después de 70 años de calma, el torrente ha hecho recordar la amenaza que representa, con otros torrentes, sobre algunos pueblos y un eje de fuerte tráfico.Antoine Jean-Marc.

UKMARC AMC: Draft Rev 4.0: UK MARC format for archives and manuscripts control (UK MARC AMC)
No full textThis draft is the first attempt to establish a UK MARC specifically for Archives and Manuscripts Control since the British Library indicated that it would countenance such extensions to the national UK MARC format. In order to keep consistency with the general UK MARC format, standard UK MARC subject fields are not included in this document, since they should be taken from the latest version of the UK MARC manual. {A note of them should perhaps be included in UK MARC AMC.} {NB Text in braces is intended to be explanatory material for readers of this draft}. Certain other fields have not been included that might occasionally be used in the cataloguing of archival materials but would generally only be used for such materials in organizations which were combining archive
databases with library databases. This MARC version is intended for use with descriptions of archive or anuscript material that follow, or fit, the traditional style of cataloguing: we assume that these will normally relate
to paper or parchment originals. It is not intended for use with descriptions of other kinds of material. For these, fields may be drawn from the appropriate UK MARC document. MARC versions for use with archives in special formats should be developed, in order to complete the full range of facilities available to archivists and curators
An outlook on the Spanish pensions and their recent reforms
No full textTreballs Finals del Grau d'Economia, Facultat d'Economia i Empresa, Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2015-2016 , Tutor: Joan Marc Torrent Dedeu(cast)En este trabajo se pretende establecer una visión global de la evolución del sistema de pensiones español en vista a las medidas de ajuste recientemente aplicadas y la expectativa de que nuevas reformas se aprueben en los próximos años en respuesta a las diferentes causas que amenazan la sostenibilidad del sistema. Se estudiará la efectividad de dichas medidas y se compararán con las seguidas en otros países desarrollados, con tal de poder ofrecer ajustes adicionales o alternativas a los ya aplicados. Por último, se hablará de otros desafíos a los que se enfrenta el sistema de pensiones. Las conclusiones son que el problema de la insostenibilidad es real y exigirá futuros cambios de diseño del sistema en línea con los ya impuestos, que siguen la mayoría de países europeos. No obstante, es difícil determinar un equilibrio entre eficiencia y equidad, por lo que las reformas deberán dirigirse también al sector privado, que es marginal en España, para garantizar unas tasas de reposición que permitan –hasta cierto punto- mantener los niveles de vida de los pensionistas.(eng)This research project aims at establishing a global vision of the evolution of the Spanish Pension System in light of the measures of adjust recently applied and under the expectation of new reforms being approved in the forthcoming years in response to the different causes that threaten the sustainability of the system. The effectivity of these last measures will be studied; additionally, they will be compared and contrasted with those imposed in most of the developed countries in order to offer potential additional adjustments or alternatives to those already applied. Finally, I present an overview of further challenges to the pension system. The conclusions are that the unsustainability problem is real and will require future changes in the system’s design in line with the already made so far, which most of the European countries follow. Nonetheless, it is hard to determine an equilibrium between efficiency and equity, and therefore the measures should involve the private sector, which is marginal in Spain, in order to guarantee that the replacement rates allow –to some extent- the preservation of the standard of living of the pensioners
