Una Iglesia para ultramar: el Concordato de 1851 y su (no) aplicación en las Antillas españolas

Tras la firma del Concordato de 1851 las Iglesias del Ultramar español vivieron una situación de excepcionalidad. Su no inclusión en el Concordato supuso que las Iglesias de estos territorios continuaran sometidas al patronato real y a las Leyes de Indias hasta la independencia de 1898. En este contexto general, el artículo analiza los principales problemas que desde 1836 obstaculizaron la normal administración de la Iglesia en las Antillas españolas, particularmente en Cuba, y las gestiones infructuosas del nuncio apostólico en Madrid por darles una respuesta en el marco de un Concordato, donde la pretendida inclusión de las Iglesias Ultramarinas fue leído por Madrid como una cesión de sus regalías.After the signing of the Concordat of 1851 the Spanish Overseas Churches lived in an exceptional situation. As they were not included in the Concordat, the Churches in these territories were still subject to the «Patronato real» and the Laws of the Indies until their independence in 1898. In this general context, the article analyzes the main problems that hampered the normal administration of the Church in the Spanish Antilles, particularly in Cuba, from 1836 onwards. It documents the unsuccessful efforts of the apostolic nuncio in Madrid to give the Church in the Spanish Antilles a solution in the framework of a concordat. However, Madrid saw the inclusion of the Overseas Churches in its articles as a cession of its privileges

Ecology of Fucus vesiculosus (Phaeophyceae) at its southern limit of distribution: Growth and production of the early stages of development.

Growth and survival of two populations of Fucus vesiculosus were studied at its southern limit of distribution on the eastern Atlantic coast. Experimentally denuded areas at an estuarine and a semi-exposed site in an upwelling area (NW Spain) were followed for 17 months. Three different cohorts were detected during the sampling period. Differences among the three cohorts in terms of growth, reproduction and survival were detected. These differences may be due to the different time of appearance of the different cohorts or the presence of the previously established individuals when the second and third cohorts were recruited. Although the growth of the cohorts recruiting in autumn was higher than for the cohorts recruiting in spring and summer, the individual growth was represented in all cases by a logistic function, as the fastest rates of increase in length occurred during the first 6 months of life, and maximum length was attained after the thallus reached 1 year in age. In the same way, production was maximum for the first cohort, recruiting in autumn, even when it had the lowest survival rate, because of the rapid growth of survivors during spring and summer. For both populations, reproduction was continuous through the year but it was maximal during spring and summer. Protection from waves might have been thought to favour higher production and standing stock biomass values at the estuarine site compared with the semi-exposed site, while turnover rates of biomass were higher at the latter. Contrary to expectations, most of the nutrients available for the studied populations were not related to upwelling. Despite the fast initial growth of new recruits, both populations appeared to be very sensitive to denudation.Projects ANILE (CTM2009-08396, CTM2010-09904-E) Plan Nacional I+D+i and RADIALES (IEO)En prensa1,828

Differential processing of anthropogenic carbon and nitrogen in benthic food webs of A Coruña (NW Spain) traced by stable isotopes

proyectos ANILE (CTM2009- 08396 and CTM2010-08804-E) del Plan Nacional de I+D+i y RADIALES del Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO). C.M. e I.G.V. disfrutaron de contratos FPI del IEO y del Ministerio de Economía y Competividad respectivamente.In this study the effect of inputs of organic matter and anthropogenic nitrogen at small spatial scales were investigated in the benthos of the Ria of A Coruña (NW Spain) using stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes. This ria is characteristically enriched in nutrients provided either by marine processes (as coastal upwelling) or by urban and agricultural waste. Stable isotope composition in trophic guilds of infaunal benthos revealed spatial differences related to their nutrient inputs. The main difference was the presence of an additional chemoautotrophic food web at the site with a large accumulation of organic matter. The enrichment in heavy nitrogen isotopes observed in most compartments suggests the influence of sewage-derived nitrogen, despite large inputs of marine nitrogen. Macroalgae (Fucus vesiculosus) resulted significantly enriched at the site influenced by estuarine waters. In contrast, no differences were found in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis), thus suggesting a major dependence on marine nutrient sources for this species. However, the estimations of anthropogenic influence were largely dependent on assumptions required to model the different contributions of sources. The measurement of stable isotope signatures in various compartments revealed that, despite anthropogenic nutrients are readily incorporated into local food webs, a major influence of natural marine nutrient sources cannot be discarded.IEO, Plan nacional I+D+iPreprint2,277

Graph based study of allergen cross-reactivity of plant lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) using microarray in a multicenter study.

The study of cross-reactivity in allergy is key to both understanding. the allergic response of many patients and providing them with a rational treatment In the present study, protein microarrays and a co-sensitization graph approach were used in conjunction with an allergen microarray immunoassay. This enabled us to include a wide number of proteins and a large number of patients, and to study sensitization profiles among members of the LTP family. Fourteen LTPs from the most frequent plant food-induced allergies in the geographical area studied were printed into a microarray specifically designed for this research. 212 patients with fruit allergy and 117 food-tolerant pollen allergic subjects were recruited from seven regions of Spain with different pollen profiles, and their sera were tested with allergen microarray. This approach has proven itself to be a good tool to study cross-reactivity between members of LTP family, and could become a useful strategy to analyze other families of allergens

Desarrollo de representaciones volumétricas como metodología docente para el autoaprendizaje en el Área de Anatomía

El Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) implica la utilización de metodologías activas en las que el alumno sea el centro del proceso enseñanzaaprendizaje. En nuestro ámbito de trabajo, las Ciencias de la Salud, creemos que el desarrollo de sistemas de autoaprendizaje aplicando principios de integración de conocimientos básicos y clínicos facilita dicho objetivo. Estos profesionales tienen una necesidad de formación cada vez mayor en la compresión de las imágenes médicas (diagnóstico, tratamiento, planificación quirúrgica, educación, etc.). La visualización de volúmenes a partir de imágenes médicas es el proceso de transformar de manera precisa una descripción de superficie o volumen obtenida a partir de una modalidad de captura de imagen médica en una imagen compuesta por píxeles. Actualmente, las representaciones volumétricas se aplican cada vez más en el proceso educativo para permitir que el alumno pueda tener una comprensión visual más cercana a la realidad tridimensional del objeto de estudio. Concretamente, en el ámbito del aprendizaje de estructuras anatómicas, el alumno puede beneficiarse de la manipulación de representaciones tridimensionales extraídas a partir de imágenes médicas, con el objetivo de comprender su forma, elementos constituyentes, ubicación relativa y relaciones. En base a estos hechos, el Grupo de Docencia en Anatomía y Embriología de la Unidad de Calidad de las Universidades Andaluzas, presenta el Proyecto de innovación docente que está desarrollando con la finalidad de obtener un material multimedia de las zonas más complejas de la anatomía humana que permita una metodología docente activa por parte del alumno.SIN FINANCIACIÓNNo data 200

Growth and production of new recruits and adult individuals of Ascophyllum nodosum in a non-harvested population at its southern limit (Galicia, NW Spain)

Populations near the geographic distribution limits of the species are considered to live under suboptimal conditions, and hence slight environmental changes can be critical for their survival. The potential sensitivity to disturbances of the long living macroalga Ascophyllum nodosum was analyzed by the determination of growth, recruitment, mortality, and production of biomass in a population near its southern distribution limit. Recruitment, survival and growth rates of 2 yr old individuals were obtained from individuals in the original population after estimating their age from the number of gas bladders in the thallus. Growth and survival were described as continuous non-linear functions of age applied to the population and were further used to make demography-based production estimates. Recruitment of A. nodosum in denudated substrates required a previous cover of other macroalgae (as Fucus vesiculosus) but subsequent settlement of new recruits was not observed, as only one cohort was detected during the 26 month-period of the study. The low production estimates (2,033 g m-2 for a 10 yr period) and poor recruitment indicates high sensitivity of this population to denudation. However, the large variability observed in the growth curves of different populations along this southern distribution area suggest a large potential for adaptation to local conditions that may overcome environmental changes at regional scales.proyecto ANILE (CTM2009-08396 y CTM2010-09904-E) Plan Nacional de I+D+I (España)Preprint2,011
