Spreading of a density front in the K\"untz-Lavall\'ee model of porous media

We analyze spreading of a density front in the K\"untz-Lavall\'ee model of porous media. In contrast to previous studies, where unusual properties of the front were attributed to anomalous diffusion, we find that the front evolution is controlled by normal diffusion and hydrodynamic flow, the latter being responsible for apparent enhancement of the front propagation speed. Our finding suggests that results of several recent experiments on porous media, where anomalous diffusion was reported based on the density front propagation analysis, should be reconsidered to verify the role of a fluid flow

L’inventari de béns del doctor Jacint Garí, prevere i rector de la vila de Maçanet de Cabrenys (1738)

Estudiem i transcrivim l’inventari de béns de Jacint Garí (1723-1738), natural de Vic, que durant els anys indicats fou rector de Maçanet de Cabrenys. Es tracta d’un document del tot interessant, des d’un punt de vista cultural, perquè aquest rector posseïa una notable biblioteca de llibres de teologia i de predicació, principalment d’autors que s’estudiaven als seminaris regits pels jesuïtes.We study and transcribe the post-mortem inventory of Jacint Garí, born in Vic, who was the pastor of Maçanet de Cabrenys between 1723 and 1738. A very interesting document from a cultural perspective, because of the notable library of theology and preaching books the pastor owned, mostly by authors studied at Jesuit seminaries

Las novedades del seguro de transporte terrestre de mercancías en el anteproyecto de Ley de Código Mercantil

El ALCM contiene el régimen del contrato de seguros de transportes terrestres en el Título VIII, Capítulo II, Sección 4ª “De los seguros contra daños”. La regulación de los arts. 582-28 a 34 es sustancialmente coincidente con la actual de la LCS aunque se prevén algunas modificaciones. Se suprime el art. 56 LCS pero se desaprovecha la oportunidad de efectuar una diferenciación clara entre el seguro de transporte terrestre de mercancías y el seguro de responsabilidad civil del porteador. Se mantiene la delimitación del riesgo aunque con una variación respecto de su ámbito temporal al suprimir la posibilidad de admisión de pacto en contra. Se simplifica el régimen de indemnización de daños con la acertada eliminación del art. 62 LCS que se aparta del criterio genérico establecido en el art. 26 LCS para todos los seguros de daños.El presente trabajo se enmarca dentro del Proyecto: “La eficiencia del transporte como objetivo de la actuación de los poderes públicos: competencia, liberalización y responsabilidad”, Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, 2013-2015, DER2012-37543-C03-01 (IP Mª Victoria Petit Lavall)

Study of Inelastic Behavior of Reticular Structures of Steel Bars - Phenomena of Plastification

Technological advancement has increasingly helped solve engineering problems, but the designer who does not seek knowledge of the physical behavior of materials and mathematical techniques to solve them runs the risk of not being able to interpret the results provided by structural software. Computational techniques do not provide the exact solution of engineering problems, they provide approximations to the intervals where the solution of the differential equations governing the mechanics of the continuum are inserted. The engineer who does not know how to idealize the engineering problem in his mind will not be able to model the problem in the computer. One of the most intriguing and peculiar engineering problems is the plastification phenomenon of metallic objects

Luces y sombras de la regulación de los derechos de los viajeros por ferrocarril: a propósito de la necesidad de reformar el Reglamento del Sector Ferroviario

El Reglamento (CE) núm. 1371/2007, del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo, de 23 de octubre, sobre los derechos y obligaciones de los viajeros por ferrocarril, representa la norma europea básica en materia de derechos del pasajero en transporte ferroviario, tanto doméstico como internacional. De forma similar a como sucede en el transporte aéreo (Reglamento núm. 2027/1997, modificado por el Reglamento núm. 889/2002) y marítimo (Reglamento núm. 392/2009), el Reglamento ferroviario remite - en sus arts. 4, 11 y 15- a un convenio internacional: las Reglas Uniformes relativas al contrato de transporte internacional de viajeros por ferrocarril (Apéndice A al COTIF 1999). El Reglamento, sin embargo, contempla algunos derechos adicionales del viajero que no siempre encajan con fa cilidad en el marco diseñado por dichas Reglas Uniformes, especialmente en lo que se refiere a las obligaciones del porteador en caso de retraso, enlaces perdidos y cancelación. La única sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea sobre este particular (as. C-509/11, ÓBB-Personenverkehr) resuelve el problema solo parcialmente, esto es, en relación a la compensación por el precio del billete en caso de retraso. Además, el Reglamento (CE) núm. 1371/2007 no prohíbe la existencia de medidas nacionales que mejoren la protección del pasajero, de manera que el ordenamiento doméstico ha de tenerse en cuenta también. Pero ello no es óbice para constatar que la legislación sectorial española fue adoptada en el año 2004 y no ha sido reformada después de la entrada en vigor del Reglamento comunitario, con la consecuencia de que algunos de sus preceptos son incompatibles con el acervo comunitario. El presente estudio trata de describir el contenido exacto de los derechos de los pasajeros al amparo del Reglamento (CE) núm. 1371/2007 y de identificar aquellas normas domésticas que no pueden ya resultar de aplicación al considerarse contrarias al Derecho de la Unión Europea y que, por ello, deberían derogarse o sustituirse.Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 23 October 2007, on Rail Passengers' Rights and Obligations, contains the basic EU rules regarding the protection of passengers in rail transport, both on a domestic and an international leve/. Similarly to what happens in carriage by air (Regulation No 2027/1997, as amended by Regulation No 889/2002) and sea (Regulation No 392/2009), the Raíl Passenger Regulation refers -in its Articles 4, 11 and 15- to an international Convention, the Uniform Rules concerning the Contract of International Carriage of Passengers by Rail (Appendíx A to the 1999 COTIF Convention). However, it introduces sorne additional rights that do not a/ways fit easily into the framework designed by the Rules, especially as regards the liability of the carrier in case of de/ay, missed connections and cancellation. The only judgment of the European Court off ustice on this issue (Case C-509/11, ÓBB-Personenverkehr) addresses only part of the problem, in particular, the compensation of the ticket price in case of delay. Furthermore, Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 does not prohibí! the existence of national measures that improve the passengers' protection, so domestic law has to be taken into account, too. Tn Spain, the relevant legislation was adopted in 2004 and has not been amended after the Regulation carne into force, so sorne of its provisions are clearly inconsistent with the acquis communautaire. The present article seeks to describe the exact content of the passengers' rights under Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 and to identify those domestic rules that cannot be applied any more since they are contrary to European Union law and should therefore be repealed or amended.El presente estudio se ha realizado en el marco del proyecto de investigación «Transporte aéreo y por ferrocarril: competencia y responsabilidad» (Ref. P1·1B2012-58), financiado por la Universitat Jaume I de Castellón (investigadora principal: M.a V. Petit Lavall)

La música en el aula de inglés: una propuesta práctica

La presente propuesta nace a partir de los resultados y conclusiones de dos investigaciones llevadas a cabo en el curso académico 2010/2011. Las conclusiones muestran la necesidad de crear nuevos materiales que utilicen la música en el aula de inglés desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar. Es por ello que tras contextualizar el valor de la música en la educación en general y en el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras en particular, se presentan en este artículo una serie de propuestas didácticas que parten de rimas y canciones para trabajar el aprendizaje de la lengua inglesa en el aula de Infantil y Primaria.This proposal stems from the results and conclusions of two researches carried out in the academic year 2010/2011. Conclusions point out the need to create new materials that use music in the English classroom from an interdisciplinary perspective. After reaching the conclusion on the need to create new materials that use music as a fundamental pillar in the English classroom of Kindergarten and Primary school, setting clear learning objectives, we present a series of musical activities based on English folk songs and rhymes to develop English learning in Kindergarten and Primary education

Prava putnika u željezničkom prijevozu prema Uredbi (EZ-a) br. 1371/2007 i njihovo ostvarivanje u Španjolskoj: je li španjolsko uređenje željezničkog sektora usklađeno s pravnom stečevinom EU-a?

Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 23 October 2007, on Rail Passengers’ Rights and Obligations, contains the basic EU rules regarding the protection of passengers in rail transport, both on a domestic and an international level. Simi-larly to what happens in carriage by air (Regulation No 2027/1997, as amended by Regulation No 889/2002) and sea (Regulation No 392/2009), the Rail Passenger Regulation refers —in its Articles 4, 11 and 15— to an international Convention, the Uniform Rules concerning the Con-tract of International Carriage of Passengers by Rail (Appendix A to the 1999 COTIF Conven-tion). However, it introduces some additional rights that do not always fit easily into the frame-work designed by the Rules, especially as regards the liability of the carrier in case of delay, missed connections and cancellation. The only judgment of the European Court of Justice on this issue (Case C-509/11, ÖBB-Personenverkehr) addresses only part of the problem, in par-ticular, the compensation of the ticket price in case of delay. Furthermore, Regulation No 1371/2007 does not prohibit the existence of national measures that improve the passengers’ protection, so domestic law has to be taken into account, too. In Spain, the relevant legislation was adopted in 2004 and has not been amended after the Regulation came into force, so some of its provisions are clearly inconsistent with the acquis communautaire. The paper seeks to describe the exact content of the passengers’ rights under Regulation No 1371/2007 and to identify those domestic rules that cannot be applied any more since they are contrary to Euro-pean Union law and should therefore be repealed.Uredba (EZ-a) br. 1371/2007 Europskog parlamenta i Vijeća od 23. listopada 2007. o pravima i obvezama putnika u željezničkom prijevozu sadržava osnovna pravila EU-a za zaštitu putnika u željezničkom prijevozu na nacionalnoj i na međunarodnoj razini. Slično kao i u zračnom (Uredba br. 2027/1997, kako je izmijenjena i dopunjena Uredbom br. 889/2002) i morskom prijevozu (Uredba br. 392/2009), Uredba o željezničkom prijevozu u svojim člancima 4., 11. i 15. upućuje na Jedinstvena pravila za Ugovore o međunarodnom željezničkom prijevozu putnika (dodatak A Konvenciji COTIF iz 1999.). Međutim, ta Uredba uvodi i neka dodatna prava koja se ne uklapaju uvijek lako u okvir Pravila, posebno u pogledu odgovornosti prijevoznika u slučaju kašnjenja, propuštenih veza i otkazivanja. Jedina presuda Europskog suda vezana uz taj problem (Predmet C-509/11, ÖBB-Personenverkehr) odnosi se samo na dio problema, odnosno na refundaciju cijene karte u slučaju kašnjenja. Nadalje, Uredba br. 1371/2007 ne zabranjuje uvođenje nacionalnih mjera za poboljšanje zaštite putnika, pa tako valja uzeti u obzir i nacionalno zakonodavstvo. U Španjolskoj je relevantno zakonodavstvo usvojeno 2004. te nije izmijenjeno nakon što je Uredba stupila na snagu, pa su tako neke njezine odredbe neusklađene s pravnom stečevinom EU-a. U ovome ćemo izlaganju pokušati opisati točan sadržaj prava putnika prema Uredbi br. 1371/2007 i identificirati ona nacionalna pravila koja se više ne mogu primjenjivati jer nisu u skladu s pravom EU-a, pa ih stoga treba ukinuti

A qualitative analysis about the use of music in the English textbooks of Primary Education

La música posee una gran potencialidad para acelerar el aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera. En el presente artículo, hacemos un recorrido por la historia de la lingüística desde el tradicional método Gramática-Traducción hasta la actualidad con métodos como el CLIL y el Aprendizaje Centrado en el Alumno. Investigamos diferentes métodos de reconocidos pedagogos, que establecen paralelismos entre la música y el lenguaje, y concretamos en qué aspectos la música puede ayudar a facilitar un aprendizaje acelerado del inglés al proporcionar una educación holística. Finalmente llevamos a cabo un análisis cualitativo de los libros de texto de Inglés de 3º de Primaria de tres editoriales diferentes, mediante una plantilla de registro de datos en los cuales observamos cómo la música se utiliza como un recurso más y no se le da toda la importancia que ésta puede tener para establecer un aprendizaje significativo y duradero.Music has a great potential as a facilitator vehicle to accelerate the process of learning English as a foreign language. This article is a brief overview of the history of linguistics from the traditional Grammar-Translation method to the present methods like CLIL and Student Centered Learning. We investigated different methods of recognized educators and researchers who established parallels between music and language, and we concrete in which aspects music can help to facilitate accelerated learning of English by providing a holistic education. Finally we elaborated a qualitative analysis of textbooks of English 3rd grade of Primary Education of three different publishers, using a template for recording data in which we observe how music is used as a resource and it is not given all the importance it may have to establish a meaningful and lasting learning.peerReviewe

Social competence in higher education questionnaire (CCSES): Revision and psychometric analysis

Over the past decades several researches have addressed the social competence from the university setting by its importance for education and society (Hidalgo and Abarca, 1990; Johnson et al., 1991; Oberst et al., 2009). Social factors play an outstanding role in the learning process of higher education students as they are being professionally prepared to actively participate and contribute in a changing society (Del Prette et al., 1999; Marín and León, 2001). According to Schoon (2009), an increasing globalization and use of technologies have led to a series of socio-historical changes were social competence have been affected by the emergence of new values and lifestyles. Therefore, the development of social competence has become one of the main objectives of contemporary education systems and institutions (Gedviliene, 2012). Universities are providing indicators for generic competences to evidence their effectiveness in terms of students’ learning outcomes (Xie et al., 2014). In fact, the European Commission (2005) considers social competence an essential and one of the most important precursors of prosperity and social well-being in its Member States
