Municipal Council Fundación Albaicín: Report and analysis of a municipal agency in charge for the protection of an UNESCO World Heritage Site

Esta publicación presenta un recorrido por el nacimiento e historia de la Fundación Albaicín, órgano municipal de gestión fundado en 1998 y dedicado a la tutela patrimonial del barrio del Albaicín. Este barrio fue declarado Patrimonio Mundial en 1994, como ampliación de la inscripción previa de la Alhambra y el Generalife en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial en 1984. Se realiza un análisis de los estatutos y las principales actividades de la Fundación, como su gestión e implementación de diversas subvenciones, programas y proyectos europeos, mostrando las debilidades y fortalezas de dicho organismo. Finalmente, se incluye una reflexión final sobre el presente y el futuro de dicho órgano municipal.This paper shows the history and evolution of the Albaicín Foundation, a municipal agency born in 1998 to manage and protect the Albaicín district in Granada. This district was nominated as a World Heritage Site in 1994 as an extension of the previous inscription of the Alhambra and the Generalife on the World Heritage List in 1984. We analyse the statutes and main activities of the Foundation, such as the management and implementation of several European grants, programs and projects, showing its strengths and weaknesses. Finally, we include some conclusions about the present and future of the FoundationUniversidad de Granada. Departamento de Historia del Art

Iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari. Un futuro para su pasado

Tipología: Pertenece al grupo de parroquias erigidas por la bula de 10 de diciembre 1501 del cardenal Pedro González de Mendoza. Se finalizan las obras en 1925 dirigidas por el maestro Rodrigo Hernández. Tipológicamente es un programa constructivo gótico - mudéjar. Planta rectangular de 19 metros por 33 dividida en cinco tramos mediante cuatro arcos diafragmas de tipo ojival sobre ménsulas . Con cinco capillas laterales. Cerramientos de tapial y de poca calidad. La torre se construye en 1543 en la que aparece el escudo de Francisco Niño de Guevara, séptimo arzobispo

Therophytic pastures of the SE Iberian: Los Filabres mountain (Oriental Andalusia, Spain)

La sierra de Los Filabres es una interesante encrucijada biogeográfica, donde existen grandes contrastes ambientales, produciéndose muchos gradientes ecológicos. Los pastizales de terófitos, tanto de la Cl. Helianthemetea como de la Cl. Ruderali-Secalietea, responden a estos cambios ecológicos y biogeográficos, mostrando una gran variabilidad. Hemos registrado la presencia de veintiuna fitocenosis (asociaciones y subasociaciones) diferentes, de las que dos son novedad sintaxonómica (Bromo-Scleranthetum burnatii ass. nova y Campanulo-Chaenorrhinetum grandiflorum ass. nova), asi como dos variantes ecológicas de la as. Eryngio-Plantaginetum ovatae.The Filabres mountain is an interesting biogeographical junction, where clear environmentals contrasts exist, with a lot of ecological gradients. The terophytic plants pastures, belong to Cl. Helianthemetea and Cl. Ruderali-Secalietea, respond to this ecological and biogeographical changes. We have record the presence of twenty one different communities (associations and subassociations), with two syntaxonomic developments (Bromo-Scleranthetum burnatii ass. nova and Campanulo-Chaenorrhinetum grandiflorum ass. nova), as well as two ecological variants from the Eryngio-Plantaginetum ovatae association

Intramolecular hydrogen bond activation for kinetic resolution of furanone derivatives by an organocatalyzed [3+2] asymmetric cycloaddition

Herein, a formal highly enantioselective organocatalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition of furanone derivatives and azomethine ylides is presented. The success of this reaction resides in an intramolecular hydrogen bond activation through an o-hydroxy group at aromatic ring of the imine, allowing the formation of highly multifunctional bicyclic adducts with five stereogenic centers in a stereocontrolled manner. Furthermore, the reaction is paired to a highly efficient kinetic resolution of butenolides, achieving selectivity factors above 200. Using this methodology, furan-2(5H)-ones as well as furo[3,4-c]pyrrolidinones were obtained with high enantioselectivities. Quantum chemistry calculations reveal the crucial role of hydrogen bond formed between the catalyst donor-units and the two reagents, which modify their arrangement and promote effective facial discrimination resulting in a highly selective kinetic resolution. In addition, further applicability of the kinetic resolution process is shownPID2019-110091GB-I00, PID2021-122299NB-I00, TED2021-130470B-I00, TED2021-129999B-C32, “Comunidad de Madrid” for European Structural Funds (S2018/NMT-4367) and (Y2020/NMT6469), CEX2018-000805-

Aproximación a la checklist de los gipsófitos ibéricos

Approximation to the Iberian gypsophytes checklist. The close relationship between some kinds of soils and the flora growing on them has been long known. Gypsum soils stand as a prominent example of this relationship, since some plants exclusively grow on gypsum outcrops. Nowadays this close relationship is known as gypsophily and the plant species exhibiting it are called gypsophytes. As Cavanilles already found out in the 18th century, the Iberian flora is rich in gypsophytes. From then on many botanists have considerably enlarged the list of gypsophytes. However we still lack a more or less conclusive catalogue of the Iberian gypsophytes. Only some publications dealing with the gypsum flora or vegetation may serve as references for the drafting of a preliminary catalogue. This idea has recently inspired a preliminary list of gypsophytes which has been later enlarged with the addition of new species recorded now and then in a number of specific Floras and other works of a general scope. On the basis of this list, 12 botanists adept at gypsum flora have been asked to rank the liking of these species for gypsum soils. The gypsophilous character of 140 species have been thus ranked on a scale ranging from 1 to 5 (with 5 representing an absolute liking for gypsum soils). According to the median values, some 50 species can be considered as either absolute or preferent gypsophytes
