Análise e balanço do quadro legislativo para o relacionamento intercomunitário: o caso da Lei Paz-Andrade

[Resumo] Neste trabalho analisamos o grau de aplicação e fazemos um balanço da satisfação dos grupos denvolvidos na aprovação da “Lei 1/2014, de 24 de marzo, para o aproveitamento da lingua portuguesa e vínculos coa lusofonía”, conhecida de maneira geral pela opinião pública como Lei Paz-Andrade (LPA). Para lograrmos os nossos objetivos empregamos um corpus levantado a partir dos discursos gerados pelos grupos promotores, pela Administração autonómica da Galiza e pelos partidos políticos, para além de revisarmos informação de meios de comunicação galegos e portugueses, e consultarmos bibliografia secundária em forma de monografias, trabalhos académicos, manuais e outros recursos sobre legislação linguística e sobre relacionamento intercomunitário (da Galiza e de casos análogos). Desenvolvemos o nosso trabalho em três pontos: (a) situação prévia à LPA, para conhecermos os precedentes legislativos e a situação nos campos de atuação recolhidos na Lei, assim como para compreendermos as origens e motivações alegadas na sua aprovação; (b) grau de aplicação da LPA, para conhecermos as ações desenvolvidas pelo Governo galego e pelas organizações promotoras; e (c) grau de satisfação dos grupos envolvidos sobre o desenvolvimento da LPA. As nossas conclusões destacam a ausência de concreção, planificação, orçamentos e objetivos concretos na aplicação da LPA da parte da Administração galega, que alega o carácter processual e não substantivo da própria Lei, perante a iniciativa documentada no caso dos grupos promotores, os quais desenvolveram ações nos campos da LPA (nomeadamente no ensino e na diplomacia), para além de acompanharem a oposição política no controlo e crítica das ações levadas a cabo pelo Governo galego.Traballo fin de grao (UDC.FIL).

Phytoremediation potential depends on the degree of soil pollution: a case study in an urban brownfield

Phytoremediation is a cost-effective nature-based solution for brownfield reclamation. The choice of phytoextraction or phytostabilization strategies is highly relevant when planning full-scale treatments. A suitable approach to identify such species involves the evaluation of plants that grow spontaneously on the contaminated sites. Here, we sought to determine the phytoremediation potential of three spontaneous plant species, namely the trees Acer pseudoplatanus L (A. pseudoplatanus) and Betula celtiberica Rothm. & Vasc (B. celtiberica), and the shrub Buddleja davidii Franch (B. davidii), for the recovery of an urban brownfield. To determine the response of the species to the degree of contamination, we conducted soil and vegetation sampling inside and outside the site. The concentrations of As, Cu, and Zn in soil and plant samples were measured, and then various indexes related to phytoremediation were calculated. The translocation factor and transfer coefficient indicated that vegetation outside the brownfield had phytoextraction capacity while the same plants inside the brownfield revealed phytostabilization properties. Given our results, we propose that the selected species are suitable for phytostabilization strategies in areas with high concentrations of contaminants, whereas they could be used for phytoextraction only in soils with low or moderate levels of pollution.Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature.

Impact of Old Pb Mining and Metallurgical Production in Soils from the Linares Mining District (Spain)

[EN] Mineral processing and metallurgy production centers may leave a far-reaching fingerprint of soil contamination. This scenario is particularly relevant in the mining district of Linares (Southern Spain), where former industrial sites are now dedicated to other land uses. Within this context, we selected five sectors of concern in Linares region, which are currently used as agricultural and residential areas. The study began with an edaphic characterization, including grain-size fractioning and soil chemical analyses, which were complemented by mineralogical and sequential extraction information. Anomalous soil concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were found, with higher values than the admissible regional guideline limits. Moreover, chemical speciation indicated that in general, Pb, Zn, and Cd were highly available and bound mainly to the carbonate fraction. In addition, health risk assessment evidenced potential threats by Pb and As. Regarding remediation approaches, we observed that, in soils affected by mining and ore dressing activities, the clay and silt size fractions contained the highest pollution load, making them suitable for a size classification treatment. By contrast, in areas affected by metallurgical activity, pollutants were prone to be evenly distributed among all grain sizes, thereby complicating the implementation of such remediation strategies

RECUPERACIÓN DE MATERIAS PENDIENTES EN LA ESO: ENTRE LA LOGSE Y LA LOCE

-El objetivo de este artículo es dar a conocer la situación actual de la evaluación del rendimiento del alumnado, concretamente del procedimiento de recuperación de las materias pendientes al pasar de curso, en los Institutos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) y Centros de Enseñanza Obligatoria (CEOS) de las Islas Canarias en España. Como instrumento de recogida de datos, se diseñó un cuestionario con 82 preguntas; se administró en 87 centros repartidos en las siete islas que conforman el archipiélago. Los institutos fueron seleccionados mediante una técnica de muestreo aleatorio estratificado. Los cuestionarios fueron cumplimentados por los miembros del departamento de orientación y, en su defecto, por los del equipo directivo. Al analizar los resultados obtenidos, pudo observarse entre otras cuestiones, que existen muchos aspectos que deben mejorarse para garantizar una eficaz recuperación del logro de capacidades y CCBB, cuando se promociona con materias y áreas pendientes de cursos anteriores.-The aim of this article is to inform about the current situation regarding the assessment of pupils’ performance, specifically about the resit procedure of failed subjects when promoting to the next academic year, in Secondary Schools (ESO) and Schools of Obligatory Education (CEOS) of the Canary Islands, Spain. As atool to obtain data, an 82 item questionnaire was created. This questionnaire was run in 87 schools distributed in the seven Canary Islands. The schools were selected using a random layered sampling. The questionnaires were completed by the members of each Orientation Department or Directing Board. When analyzing the results, it could be perceived that many aspects should be improved in order to guarantee an efficient resit of the general students’ capacities and their key competences when promoting to the next academic year with failed subjects from previous years

Silver-Free Gold-Catalyzed Heterocyclizations through Intermolecular H-Bonding Activation

Modulable monosulfonyl squaramides have been shown to exert activation of gold(I) chloride complexes through H-bonding in an intermolecular way. Combinations of (PPh3)AuCl or IPrAuCl complexes and an optimal sulfonyl squaramide cocatalyst bearing two 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl groups efficiently catalyzed diverse heterocyclizations and a cyclopropanation reaction, avoiding in all cases undesired side reactions. Computational studies indicate that the Au–Cl bond breaks by transligation to the triple bond in a ternary complex formed by the actual AuCl···HBD catalyst and the substrate

El consumo de psicofármacos en pacientes que acuden a Atención Primaria en el Principado de Asturias (España)

En este estudio se analiza el consumo de psicofármacos en los pacientes que acuden a los centros de Atención Primaria del Principado de Asturias, así como las variables relacionadas con el uso de estas sustancias. La muestra se compuso de 602 personas seleccionadas mediante un muestreo por conglomerados en dos etapas. Los resultados señalan que el 37,9% de los pacientes consume psicofármacos. El consumo de estos medicamentos es significativamente superior en las mujeres, en las amas de casa, en los desempleados y en las personas con bajo nivel educativo. Los trastornos de ansiedad, del sueño y los síntomas depresivos son los motivos más frecuentes. El 28% de la muestra cumplía los criterios de dependencia a este tipo de sustancias. Estos resultados indican unas tasas de consumo muy elevadas y sugieren la necesidad de la puesta en marcha de estrategias que reduzcan el uso de psicofármacos en esta población

Strain-induced enhancement of the thermoelectric power in thin films of hole-doped La2NiO4+δ

We propose a novel route for optimizing the thermoelectric power of a polaronic conductor, independent of its electronic conductivity. This mechanism is exemplified here in thin-films of La2NiO4+δ. Tensile stress induced by epitaxial growth on SrTiO3 doubles the thermoelectric power of ≈15 nm thick films relative to ≈90 nm films, while the electronic conductivity remains practically unchanged. Epitaxial strain influences the statistical contribution to the high temperature thermopower, but introduces a smaller correction to the electronic conductivity. This mechanism provides a new way for optimizing the high temperature thermoelectric performance of polaronic conductorsThis work was supported by the European Research Council (ERC StG-259082, 2DTHERMS), and Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad of Spain through the project MAT2010-16157, and a Ph.D. grant of the FPI program (J.M.V.-F.)S
