This research considers the importance of verbal maps in the constitution of Medieval cartographical corpora, as well as the relationship between said maps and universal chronicles. After evaluating both cartography and historiography, different instances of universal chronicles in Portuguese are considered. This framing allows not only to rethink the translation and preservation of a verbal map by Alfonso X but also to reflect upon future approaches to universal historiography which can be read as a cartographical repository in the Portuguese Middle Ages.

Rural depopulation has been a constant feature of contemporary Spanish history and has been amply studied from the perspective of geography. Recently, however, there has been considerable media attention given to the consequences of internal migration. Behind the alarming demographic statistics lies a nexus of processes which have been reflected in the cinema since its beginning. This paper explores these processes at work in the rural sending environment and receiving urban destination through an analysis of six representative Spanish films. The fictional representation through film of a complex reality provides insights into the internal and contextual keys to understanding the phenomenon of ‘empty Spain’ or ‘hollowed-out Spain’. The films illustrate the persistence of two conflicting ideas (the rural and urban), divergence about what constitutes development and the quality of life, and the processes leading to ‘demotanasia’.

<p>The risk of disappearing of cultural heritage of archaeological sites is directly related to the protection level by the corresponding administrations. This is the case of Cortijo Nuevo, an archaeological site with no known precedents in the Iberian Peninsula in the Bronze Age.</p> <p>The recent development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) used as platform carrying digital cameras, let to adapt the well-known classical Photogrammetry technique, in conjunction with Structure from Motion (SfM) and Multi View Stereo (MVS) algorithms, for very high accurate surveying of the terrain.</p> <p>In this work, several digital cartographic products including point cloud, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and orthoimage were obtained from UAV-Photogrammetric flight with the purpose of document and virtual reconstruction of a damaged archaeological site. All the technical prescriptions of the flight and photogrammetric project were designed for accurately representing the state of the terrain in both epochs, current and previous to damage. The quality control for quantify planimetric and altimetric errors, based on 33 ground control points, showed RMSE_xy&thinsp;=&thinsp;0.0246&thinsp;m, RMSE_z&thinsp;=&thinsp;0.0262&thinsp;m and the total error sum of 0.0359&thinsp;m. An integration of virtual 3D archaeological structures with the obtained terrain models was carried out through augmented reality technology, based on the information obtained in this work.</p>

Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of clinical and laboratory tests in prediction of outcome in patients at day 30 post presentation to hospital with shock and to determine the prognostic value of mid regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) on mortality prediction at 30 days in the same patient cohort.Method: This prospective multicenter cohort study analyzed data from patients who had presenting with shock to the emergency departments of eleven urban, tertiary-care University hospitals in Spain between March, 2011 and May, 2011. Recruitment of patients was via convenience sampling. Inclusion criteria included age between 14 and 100 years with clinical diagnostic criteria of shock on admission. Various patient parameters were analysed, such as age, sex, past medical history. Other clinical variables were measured on arrival to hospital, including sequential organ failure assessment score (score SOFA), blood pressure, oxygen saturations, capillary refill time and shock index (SI). Laboratory variables investigated included base excess, MR-proADM, lactate, C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT).Results: There were 212 patients included in the study from the eleven hospitals involved. The mean age was 72.2 years old and 60.4% of the patients were men. In the discriminant analysis only age, MR-proADM and PCT remained in the final discriminant equation. The separate analysis of MR-proADM showed that, in the non-survivors group, MR-proADM levels are significantly higher than those found in the group of survivors (p<0.001).Conclusion: Age, PCT and MR-proADM were useful to predict short-term mortality in patients presenting to the emergency department shock. This suggests that PCT and MR-proADM in combination with the most common prediction models will improve prognostic value.

The article deals with the peculiarities of national cuisine, which is a part of the cultural, historical and public heritage of Spain. According to UNESCO, the Mediterranean diet, which is the basis of Spanish gastronomy, was listed in the world’s intangible heritage of mankind. Special attention is paid to traditional dishes of various autonomous communities, in which their traditions and customs are preserved. The article lists the main dishes of national cuisine, which are widely known far beyond Spain, and explains the origin of their names. Knowledge of the traditions of the national cuisine is a manifestation of respect for the country and its people, the desire to better study its history and understand the features of the national character.

En las autopoéticas ensayísticas, los escritores ponen de manifiesto su ideología artística al tiempo que construyen una autofiguración que pretende guiar el derrotero de las interpretaciones de su producción total. Este trabajo se centra en el corpus de autopoéticas ensayísticas de José Ángel Valente para explorar el modo en que le otorga una dimensión ética radical a su ejercicio poético, la cual se corresponde con su concepción tanto del poeta como de la palabra poética. Siguiendo el magisterio de Cernuda, Valente toma la antorcha ética de su predecesor y avanza de modo más profundo y certero en la denuncia contra la ideologización del lenguaje y en la postulación de la poesía como “apuesta irrenunciable”.

Abstract Objective To explore the associations between health and how people evaluate and experience their lives. Methods We analysed data from nationally-representative household surveys originally conducted in 2011–2012 in Finland, Poland and Spain. These surveys provided information on 10 800 adults, for whom experienced well-being was measured using the Day Reconstruction Method and evaluative well-being was measured with the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale. Health status was assessed by questions in eight domains including mobility and self-care. We used multiple linear regression, structural equation models and multiple indicators/multiple causes models to explore factors associated with experienced and evaluative well-being. Findings The multiple indicator/multiple causes model conducted over the pooled sample showed that respondents with younger age (effect size, β = 0.19), with higher levels of education (β = −0.12), a history of depression (β = −0.17), poor health status (β = 0.29) or poor cognitive functioning (β = 0.09) reported worse experienced well-being. Additional factors associated with worse evaluative well-being were male sex (β = −0.03), not living with a partner (β = 0.07), and lower occupational (β = −0.07) or income levels (β = 0.08). Health status was the factor most strongly correlated with both experienced and evaluative well-being, even after controlling for a history of depression, age, income and other sociodemographic variables. Conclusion Health status is an important correlate of well-being. Therefore, strategies to improve population health would also improve people’s well-being.

The present work tries to analyze the processes against Mencía Álvarez and María Álvarez. They were sisters, and both of them were between the followers of Inés Esteban, known as the Moza de Herrera. Inés stimulated a messianic movement that developed around Herrera del Duque; it did that many judeoconverts were killed in the inquisitorial bonfires, between them sisters Álvarez. Both of them exemplify the situation of many of the followers of Inés Esteban: they were reconciled; they belonged to a family narrowly linked with criptojudaism; they developed a quite elementary practice of Judaism and they had a blind faith in the prophecies that were promising them a better life.

When the first voices of the Renaixença began to be heard in the 1930s, the historical romance novel was triumphant in Europe. However, the Catalan novel, which had reached a high level in the Middle Ages with the Joanot Martorell work Tirant lo Blanc, had practically disappeared and Catalan novelists were writing in Spanish. The first novel of the Renaixença, inspired by the model of Walter Scott, was not published until 1862. Thus began the process of reviving the Catalan novel, with the core being the historical novel in all its different variations.

La Naples de 1647 se prête parfaitement à l’interprétation du terme encrucijada / carrefour, dans toutes les acceptions concrètes et métaphoriques du vocable. Croisée des chemins et des civilisations, au milieu du XVIIe siècle, Naples offre une situation politique cruciale qui débouche sur une révolte que l’auteur n’hésite pas à qualifier de révolution. Dans ce cas extrême, les Napolitains furent acculés au dilemme d’avoir à choisir entre divers modèles politiques en vigueur alors en Europe, bien que les armes, en vérité, eussent fini de choisir pour eux. Cet article analyse différents aspects de la révolte de 1647 en accordant une attention toute particulière au rôle de modèle que d’autres soulèvements ou situations politiques européennes (telles celle des Pays Bas ou quelques autres) ont pu jouer.
