La intervención arqueológica en el Castillo de Cote (Montellano, Sevilla). Campaña 1998

La investigación en el Castillo de Cote (Montellano, Sevilla, España) se planteó con un enfoque multidisciplinar del estudio del yacimiento y su entorno. Arqueólogos, geógrafos, historiadores y filólogos trabajaron juntos para diagnosticar la potencialidad del yacimiento y delimitarlo. La integración de la diferente información obtenida nos permite presentar en este artículo un yacimiento medieval muy complejo (donjon, castillo, villa intramuros, arrabal y huertas extramuros). Se identificaron y localizaron los principales hitos del paisaje histórico: topónimos, manantiales de agua dulce y salada, pozos, tierras de labor, bosques y vías de comunicación (rutas, senderos, caminos, pasos de montaña, puentes). También descubrimos los vestigios de una organización del paisaje romano precedente.The research in Cote castle (Montellano, Seville, Spain) was planned as a multidisciplinary approach to the site and its environment. Archaeologists, geographers, historians and philologists worked together focused on diagnosing the site potentiality and on establishing its boundaries. The different data produced were combined and allowed us to depict expund in this paper a complex medieval settlement (donjon, castle, village within walls, suburb – arrabal – and outlying orchards) and its evolution. The main landmarks of the historic landscape were identified and located: place-names, fresh and salt water springs, wells, farm lands, woods and communication routes (tracks, paths, roads, mountain passes, bridges). We also found clear vestiges of the former Roman landscape layout

University Mentoring Programmes for Gifted High School Students: Satisfaction of Workshops

Abstract: This paper analyses the degree of participant (mentees, mentors, and technical-research team) satisfaction with two university mentoring programmes for pre-university students with high intellectual capacities in Spain. Three versions of a Likert-type scale questionnaire were applied (mentees, mentors, and technical research team), resulting in a total sample of 43 questionnaires from mentors, 314 from mentees, and 43 from the technical-research team in 43 workshops o ered by the GuíaMe-AC-UMA Programme; and 27 questionnaires from mentors, 203 from mentees, and 27 from the technical-research team in the 27 workshops o ered by the Amentúrate Programme. The results indicate a high level of satisfaction with the development of the workshops o ered by both programmes, on the part of all participants. No significant di erences were found in terms of thematic area or gender, although there were di erences in age. The participation of the three agents involved in this training o er was very successful, and our results supported the findings of previous investigations. More work is required on the transfer and maintenance of the impact that this type of programme can have on young pre-university students with high abilities

Enterramientos infantiles en el oppidum en El Mólón (Camporrobles, Valencia)

Se analizan las inhumaciones perinatales identificadas en el oppidum de El Molón. Se trata de tres enterramientos, uno de ellos doble, probablemente gemelar, procedentes de espacios domésticos o áreas de producción, en algún caso con presencia de ajuar. Se fechan hacia el siglo II a.C.---------------------This article analyzes three perinatal burials from the oppidum of El Molón. One of them was double and probably a twin pregnancy. The burials seem to be originally from domestic spaces and production areas, in some cases they were found in the presence of funeral offerings. The burials are dated in around the second century BC

Pasados y presente. Estudios para el profesor Ricardo García Cárcel

Ricardo García Cárcel (Requena, 1948) estudió Historia en Valencia bajo el magisterio de Joan Reglà, con quien formó parte del primer profesorado de historia moderna en la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. En esta universidad, desde hace prácticamente cincuenta años, ha desarrollado una extraordinaria labor docente y de investigación marcada por un sagaz instinto histórico, que le ha convertido en pionero de casi todo lo que ha estudiado: las Germanías, la historia de la Cataluña moderna, la Inquisición, las culturas del Siglo de Oro, la Leyenda Negra, Felipe II, Felipe V, Austrias y Borbones, la guerra de la Independencia, la historia cultural, los mitos de la historia de España... Muy pocos tienen su capacidad para reflexionar, ordenar, analizar, conceptualizar y proponer una visión amplia y llena de matices sobre el pasado y las interpretaciones historiográficas. A su laboriosidad inimitable se añade una dedicación sin límites en el asesoramiento de alumnos e investigadores e impulsando revistas, dosieres, seminarios o publicaciones colectivas. Una mínima correspondencia a su generosidad lo constituye este volumen a manera de ineludible agradecimiento

All-cause mortality in the cohorts of the Spanish AIDS Research Network (RIS) compared with the general population: 1997Ł2010

Abstract Background: Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has produced significant changes in mortality of HIVinfected persons. Our objective was to estimate mortality rates, standardized mortality ratios and excess mortality rates of cohorts of the AIDS Research Network (RIS) (CoRIS-MD and CoRIS) compared to the general population. Methods: We analysed data of CoRIS-MD and CoRIS cohorts from 1997 to 2010. We calculated: (i) all-cause mortality rates, (ii) standardized mortality ratio (SMR) and (iii) excess mortality rates for both cohort for 100 personyears (py) of follow-up, comparing all-cause mortality with that of the general population of similar age and gender. Results: Between 1997 and 2010, 8,214 HIV positive subjects were included, 2,453 (29.9%) in CoRIS-MD and 5,761 (70.1%) in CoRIS and 294 deaths were registered. All-cause mortality rate was 1.02 (95% CI 0.91-1.15) per 100 py, SMR was 6.8 (95% CI 5.9-7.9) and excess mortality rate was 0.8 (95% CI 0.7-0.9) per 100 py. Mortality was higher in patients with AIDS, hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection, and those from CoRIS-MD cohort (1997. Conclusion: Mortality among HIV-positive persons remains higher than that of the general population of similar age and sex, with significant differences depending on the history of AIDS or HCV coinfection
