Juan Fernández de Vallejo y el taller de Arnao de Bruselas

El obrador que Arnao de Bruselas poseyó en Logroño desde 1553 hasta su muerte fue comprado por Juan Fernández de Vallejo, según nueva documentación que permite proponer algunas adjudicaciones y nuevas relaciones artísticas. Fernández de Vallejo concluyó el retablo de Aldeanueva de Ebro (La Rioja) y con la ayuda de los dibujos, modelos y trazas del taller adquirido acometió el retablo de Lanciego (Álava). También debió de colaborar en el retablo de Estavillo (Álava) y en otras obras contratadas por Pedro López de Gámiz.The Logroño workshop belonging to Arnao de Bruselas from 1553 to his death was acquired by Juan Fernández de Vallejo, according to new documentation that allows us to suggest some ascriptions and new artistic relationships. Fernández de Vallejo concluded the altarpiece of Aldeanueva de Ebro (La Rioja) and executed the altarpiece in Lanciego (Álava) using the drawings, models and traces he had in the purchased workshop.

The economic consequences of the spanish Reconquest: The long-term effects of medieval conquest and colonization

This paper shows that a historical process that ended more than five centuries ago, the Reconquest, is very important to explain Spanish regional economic development down to the present day. An indicator measuring the rate of Reconquest reveals a heavily negative effect on current income differences across the Spanish provinces. A main intervening factor in the impact the Reconquest has had is the concentration of economic and political power in a few hands, excluding large segments of the population from access to economic opportunities when Spain entered the industrialization phase. The timing of the effect is consistent with this argument. A general implication of our analysis is that large frontier expansions may favor a political equilibrium among the colonizing agents that is biased toward the elite, creating the conditions for an inegalitarian society, with negative consequences for long-term economic developmenTUniversidad de Málaga.

La génesis social de las familias ilustradas vascas en el siglo XVIII.

Through the case study of the Álava family, this paper explores the social behavior of the Enlightened Basque families linked to the careers in the administration and in the army. With this study I want to stimulate a line of research that looks for a review of the Enlightened Basque family departing from Social History and applying new methodological elements such as Prosopography and Relational Studies. In this sense, this research departs from the analysis of the social origins of the Álava family and of the resources used for their social reproduction in order to establish solid methodological bases towards a new approach on the study of the Sociology of Power.A través del ejemplo de la familia Álava se pretende descubrir las claves para conocer el comportamiento social de las familias ilustradas vascas más estrechamente vinculadas a las trayectorias de carrera al servicio de la Corona. Mediante este estudio se quiere impulsar una línea de investigación que busca una revisión de los ilustrados vascos partiendo de la Historia social y aplicando elementos metodológicos novedosos para este tema como la prosopografía y los estudios relacionales. En este sentido, este estudio parte del análisis de los orígenes sociales de la familia Álava y de los medios utilizados para su reproducción social con el fin de llegar a establecer unas bases metodológicas sólidas hacia próximos estudios sobre la sociología del poder

A Metabolically Healthy Profile Is a Transient Stage When Exercise and Diet Are Not Supervised: Long-Term Effects in the EXERDIET-HTA Study

Metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) is a regular state in people with primary hypertension (HTN), obesity, and who are physically inactive. To achieve and maintain a metabolically healthy overweight/obese (MHO) state should be a main treatment goal. The aims of the study were (1) to determine differences in metabolic profiles of overweight/obese, physically inactive individuals with HTN following a 16-week (POST) supervised aerobic exercise training (SupExT) intervention with an attentional control (AC) group, and (2) to determine whether the changes observed were maintained following six months (6 M) of unsupervised time. Participants (n = 219) were randomly assigned into AC or SupExT groups. All participants underwent a hypocaloric diet. At POST, all participants received diet and physical activity advice for the following 6 M, with no supervision. All measurements were assessed pre-intervention (PRE), POST, and after 6 M. From PRE to POST, MUO participants became MHO with improved (p < 0.05) total cholesterol (TC, ∆ = −12.1 mg/dL), alanine aminotransferase (∆ = −8.3 U/L), glucose (∆ = −5.5 mg/dL), C-reactive protein (∆ = −1.4 mg/dL), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) compared to unhealthy optimal cut-off values. However, after 6 M, TC, glucose, and SBP returned to unhealthy values (p < 0.05). In a non-physically active population with obesity and HTN, a 16-week SupExT and diet intervention significantly improves cardiometabolic profile from MUO to MHO. However, after 6 M of no supervision, participants returned to MUO. The findings of this study highlight the need for regular, systematic, and supervised diet and exercise programs to avoid subsequent declines in cardiometabolic health.P.C., A.M.A.-B., and I.G.-A. were supported by the Basque Government with predoctoral grants.
