Los estudios clásicos en Barcelona durante la primera mitad del siglo XVI

El autor repasa primero la recepción de Nebrija y Erasmo en el medio intelectual de Barcelona durante la primera mitad del siglo XVI y después analiza la reforma del programa de estudios clásicos en la universidad de la misma ciudad, realizada en 1544. Inclye también informaciones sobre la vida universitaria de la década de 1550 y establece la nómina de profesores de dicha universidad desde 1508 hasta 1559.The author makes un approach to the reception of Nebrija and Erasmus in the intellectual world of Barcelona during the first half of the Sixteenth Century. Providing a great amount of dates about University life during the 1550s as well as lists of University teachers from 1508 tu 1559, Fernández Luzón analyzes the applied in 1544 reform of classical studies programme in the University of Barcelona

Voltaire, ¿apóstol de la tolerancia?

Voltaire, máximo referente del Siglo de las Luces, fue también el principal adalid de la libertad de conciencia en la Europa de su tiempo. Sin embargo, su imagen como "apóstol de la tolerancia", que él mismo contribuyó a forjar, requiere cierta matización. Partidario de la intolerancia contra quienes amenazaran el orden y la paz social, como los fanáticos y ateos, sus airados ataques a Rousseau distaron mucho de ser tolerantes con el filósofo ginebrino.Voltaire, top reference of the Age of Enlightenment, was also the main champion of freedom of conscience in the Europe of his time. However, his image as an "apostle of tolerance," which he himself contributed to forging, requires some qualification. Supporter of intolerance against those who threaten order and social peace, such as fans and atheists, his angry attacks on Rousseau were far from being tolerant of the Geneva philosopher

Structure of Alluvial Valleys from 3-D Gravity Inversion: The Low Andarax Valley (Almería, Spain) Test Case

This paper presents a gravimetric study (based on 382 gravimetric stations in an area about 32 km2) of a nearly flat basin: the Low Andarax valley. This alluvial basin, close to its river mouth, is located in the extreme south of the province of Almería and coincides with one of the existing depressions in the Betic Cordillera. The paper presents new methodological work to adapt a published inversion approach (GROWTH method) to the case of an alluvial valley (sedimentary stratification, with density increase downward). The adjusted 3D density model reveals several features in the topography of the discontinuity layers between the calcareous basement (2,700 kg/m3) and two sedimentary layers (2,400 and 2,250 kg/m3). We interpret several low density alignments as corresponding to SE faults striking about N140?145°E. Some detected basement elevations (such as the one, previously known by boreholes, in Viator village) are apparently connected with the fault pattern. The outcomes of this work are: (1) new gravimetric data, (2) new methodological options, and (3) the resulting structural conclusions

Executive summary: Diagnosis and Treatment of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection: Clinical Guidelines of the Spanish Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (SEIMC) and the Spanish Society of Intensive Care Medicine and Coronary Units (SEMICYUC)

Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) constitute an important cause of hospital-acquired infection associated with morbidity, mortality, and cost. The aim of these guidelines is to provide updated recommendations for the diagnosis and management of CRBSI in adults. Prevention of CRBSI is excluded. Experts in the field were designated by the two participating Societies (Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica and the Sociedad Española de Medicina Intensiva, Crítica y Unidades Coronarias). Short-term peripheral venous catheters, non-tunneled and long-term central venous catheters, tunneled catheters and hemodialysis catheters are covered by these guidelines. The panel identified 39 key topics that were formulated in accordance with the PICO format. The strength of the recommendations and quality of the evidence were graded in accordance with ESCMID guidelines. Recommendations are made for the diagnosis of CRBSI with and without catheter removal and of tunnel infection. The document establishes the clinical situations in which a conservative diagnosis of CRBSI (diagnosis without catheter removal) is feasible. Recommendations are also made regarding empirical therapy, pathogen-specific treatment (coagulase-negative staphylococci, Sthaphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp, Gram-negative bacilli, and Candida spp), antibiotic lock therapy, diagnosis and management of suppurative thrombophlebitis and local complications
