The objective of this thesis is to explore in greater depth the process of creating a public health observatory and the processing of the information needed to take territorial decisions in the county of Alt Empordà. The outcome is the creation of Indika, the Health and Social Pole of the Alt Empordà. Indika is a public health agency that acts as the territory's health and well-being agent. The objective of Indika is to generate knowledge about the impact of social determinants of health in Alt Empordà. To do so, it uses a working framework based on three points: to inform, to discuss, and to act. This working framework served to produce the visual information solutions, including infographics, collections of indicators, and a web application whose purpose is to portray the existing problems in the territory to start debate with the different political and social agents to take decisions on improvement initiatives. Apart from creating a public health observatory, two parallel lines of action have also been developed in this thesis: the creation of public structures to store information based on events as a way of structuring medical information. These two lines of investigation have resulted in the creation of the "Indika Data Repository", an information repository about the county of Alt Empordà, using the collaborative platform GitHub and the implementation of the eventr package in R programming language, and currently published in the Comprehensive R Archive Network. Eventr is a package whose purpose is to facilitate the implementation of architectures based on events ; Aquesta tesi té com a objectiu aprofundir en el procés de creació d'un observatori de salut pública i el tractament de la informació necessària per a la presa de decisions territorials a la comarca de l'Alt Empordà.

This paper describes the steps undertaken by the Barcelona Institute of Culture (ICUB) to standardize criteria for describing and analysing the content of municipal museums' humanities heritage collections. The project began with an initial analysis, which led to a series of proposals based on documentation standards. These proposals were then examined with the museums in various work sessions. The result is a handbook of documentation guidelines and criteria that can be applied in all museums. At the same time, a work plan was made to adopt as a reference a Catalan translation of the Art & Architecture Thesaurus. The Catalan government's Directorate General for Cultural Heritage is responsible for the translation. Finally, the paper analyses the importance of this process of standardization in the context of new challenges for the dissemination of museum heritage online: Europeana and Linked Open Data.

This research analyses the patterns of social interaction of a specific group of young people who play on-line games in a cybercafe in Barcelona. This group can be classified as a hybrid -on-line/ off-line- since their face-to-face interaction alternates with, and is frequently superimposed on, their virtual interaction. This means that the delocalization that accompanies other uses of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) occurs only in a limited way. What does take place is a reinterpretation of the forms of social interaction of whatever group of young people; at the same time, there is also an interpretation of new information technologies, adapting them to traditional forms of socialization. It is possible to observe how physical place and cyberplace are united and intermingled in various ways, as are face-to-face life and cyber-experience.

El fenomen dels menors migrants no acompanyats (MMNA) és relativament recenten el nostre estat de benestar, i ha arribat a posar en dubte les premisses d'atenció a la infància desemparada. Analitzarem com va suposar la reacció d'una part de les entitats d'acció social. En concret veurem quina ha estat la trajectòria del Casal dels Infants per a l'Acció Social als Barris, entitat dedicada a la intervenció socioeducativa amb col·lectius de risc als barris amb més gran vulnerabilitat social. Mirarem d'analitzar sota quines premisses i anàlisis s'ha enfocat la intervenció, enumerant aquelles necessitats i problemàtiques que encara no han aconseguit una resposta social, política i educativa eficient. ; The phenomenon of unaccompanied migrant minors (UMM) has appeared in our welfare system relatively recently, and has tested theories on the care of abandoned children. The article analyses the outcome of the reaction from some of the social action entities. In particular, it shows the course of the Casal dels Infants for Social Action in the districts, an entity working in social and educational intervention for groups at risk in districts with the greatest social vulnerability. An analysis is made of the theories and analyses on which the intervention has focused, listing the needs and problems that have not yet received a response that is socially, politically and educationally effective. ; El fenómeno de los menores migrantes no acompañados (MMNA) es relativamente reciente en nuestro estado de bienestar, y ha llegado a poner en tela de juicio las premisas de atención a la infancia desamparada.

En concreto veremos cuál ha sido la trayectoria del Casal dels Infants para la Acción Social en los Barrios, entidad dedicada a la intervención socioeducativa con colectivos de riesgo en los barrios con mayor vulnerabilidad social. Trataremos de analizar bajo qué premisas y análisis se ha enfocado la intervención, enumerando aquellas necesidades y problemáticas que aún no han conseguido una respuesta social, política y educativa eficiente.

Un estudi de l'ICTA-UAB analitza els motius pels quals científics conscienciats amb el medi ambient no renuncien al consum de carn, causant d'importants impactes ambientals al planeta. Els científics no creuen en les accions individuals sinó en les que procedeixin de la política i la tecnologia. ; Un estudio del ICTA-UAB analiza los motivos por los que científicos concienciados con el medio ambiente no renuncian al consumo de carne, causante de importantes impactos ambientales en el planeta. Los científicos no creen en las acciones individuales sino en las que procedan de la política y la tecnología. ; A study by researchers at the ICTA-UAB analyses the reasons why environmentally-minded scientists find it difficult to give up meat consumption, one of the world's greatest environmental problems. Scientists do not believe in individual actions and prefer to rely on politics and technology.

This work raises the study of creativity and creative processes as a relevant field for the sociological Social Psychology. In this way, the main goal of this work is to consider the creativity and the creative process as social processes. Considering therefore the need to analyse them in the social-cultural-historical context in which they occur, thus opening a new scenario to think about creativity and the creative process in the present time. In this new scenario, the dominant forms of knowledge circulation based on an individualizing 'ontology of creative works' are no longer unique. And their pertinence and legitimacy can be re-raised in the present time. In this way, this work also argues that different forms of knowledge circulation mean different socio-political implications. Thus, to specify and to consider them as a choice in terms of knowledge production, allows us to problematize them from the standpoint of creator/ producer and from the creative process' standpoint.

El objetivo central del estudio es tratar de averiguar si existen diferencias significativas entre los países miembros de la Unión Europea y los candidatos desde una perspectiva novedosa: los medios de comunicación y la publicidad. De esta forma, mediante el análisis descriptivo y el de conglomerados jerárquicos se comprueba la coherencia entre los resultados que se obtienen de este análisis y los requisitos para formar parte de la Unión. Los primeros análisis corroboran las evaluaciones efectuadas a los países candidatos y resoluciones de la Comisión. Todo ello conduce a motivar un debate sobre las implicaciones sociales y económicas, que no creativas ni éticas, del mercado publicitario y de medios en el contexto de la Unión Europea. ; The main objective of the study is to try to find out if significant differences between the member countries of the European Union and the candidate ones from a novel perspective: the mass media and the publicity. Thus, by means of the descriptive analysis and the one of hierarchic conglomerates it is verified the coherence between the results and the requirements to comprise of the union. The first analyses corroborate the evaluations to the candidates countries and the resolutions of the European Commission. Al! it leads to motivate a debate on the social and economic implications, that non-creative nor ethical, of the advertising market and means in the context of the European Union.

. ; Presentación del primer documento del Estado español, formalizado en el Parlament de Calalunya, el 15 de julio de 2001, que desarrolla las bases políticas para buscar el camino de la integración de personas inmigradas. Ante el interrogantee de por qué hablamos de innovación y de perspectiva de futuro utilizando conceptos sin un ejercicio real de acciones, el artículo analiza cuál es y cuál ha sido la política migraroria en nuestro país, ligada al Estado Español y, también a las acciones y actuaciones de la Unión Europea. Atendiendo a un postulado básico de antropología, según el cual cualquier comportamiento responde a una situación determinada, es obvio que los cambios y las adaptaciones sociales a la nueva realidad exige nuevos planteamientos ; Presentation of the first document by the Spanish state formalised in the Parliament of Catalonia in July 15 2001, developing the political bases to search for a way to bring about the integration of immigrants. Faced with the question of why we talk about innovation and future outlook using concepts, without really being able to act, the article analyses migratory policies past and present in our country, linked to the Spanish State and also to European Union-driven actions and activities. From a purely anthropology standpoint, according to which any behaviour stems from a given situation, it is obvious that social changes and adaptations to the new reality require new approaches.

This editorial is not about pandemics. Or not only. After a long year, when most predictions about how society would change turned out to be wrong —or were revealed as mere wishful thinking—, if one thing has become clear it is the perennial difficulty, as Walker Kaplan noted in a recent article in LitHub (2020), of writing "about the swamp while still being waist-deep in it". Experiences of social and political unrest, trauma, or crises in the broadest sense "need time to percolate" and it is usually easier to look at them from a distance, obliquely, or with some measure of historical perspective (Power, 2020). And this applies to fiction as well as to historical, sociological or political analyses. In other words, the challenges of the last year are compounded by the difficulty of accurately diagnosing the present because, as the philosopher Patricia Manrique notes, faced with the novelty of a "crisis" the usual reflex is to interpret it within the parameters of the already known. We tend to appeal to tired tropes and dull meanings, for example our understanding of "time" and "crisis", in our attempt to name that which does not yet have a name. In these brief introductory notes, I turn to these three concepts —contemporaneity, crisis, time— as a means of providing a framework for approaching the eight articles that make up this monographic dossier. In their examination of literary texts that traverse the long twentieth century and reach into the twenty-first, they span almost a century, from Virginia Woolf's first modernist novel, published in 1922, to works published as recently as 2019.

La majoria de les vegades, l'escoltismes'explica millor per com li brillen els ulls a algú quan tracta de descriure les seves qualitats que per les paraules que usa. Això es deu al fet que l'escoltisme està molt més relacionat amb les experiències vitals que amb les explicacions, així com a la seva naturalesa profundament intuïtiva. Per això, més enllà d'analitzar la història, marc ideològic i estructura organitzativa i funcionament de l'escoltisme, en aquest escrit s'analitza com funciona realment l'escoltisme, i com podem extreure de la seva acció educativa intuïtiva certa informació sobre l'impacte d'aquesta acció. ; The qualities of the scout movement are easier to describe with feelings and expressions that with words. The reason for this is that the scout movement is closer to vital experiences and to a deeply intuitive nature than to explanations. That is why, instead of focusing on the analysis of history, ideological framework, organizational and working structure of the scout movement, this article analyses how the scout movement really works and how certain information about the impact of this action can be extracted from its intuitive education. ; La mayoría de las veces, el escultismo se explica mejor por cómo le brillan los ojos a alguien cuando trata de describir sus cualidades que por las palabras que usa. Esto se debe a que el escultismo está mucho más relacionado con las experiencias vitales que con las explicaciones, así como a su naturaleza profundamente intuitiva. Por eso, más allá de analizar la historia, marco ideológico y estructura organizativa y funcionamiento del escultismo, en este escrito se analiza cómo funciona realmente el escultismo, y cómo podemos extraer de su acción educativa intuitiva cierta información sobre el impacto de esta acción

In Greek pre-history, any position of power was based on owning and exploiting local and regional agricultural potential. The present study analyses how Greek cities opened up a new field of resources by embracing the sea. Athens provides a prototypical example for the advantage gained by activating sea-trade and large-scale domination of sea-routes. The introduction of the navy had far-reaching repercussions on Athenian domestic policy: because the thetes now played a vital part in the armed forces, they demanded and achieved more influence on the politics of their city. In this dual sense – domination of the sea as a source of power in foreign policy and a broadening of the demographic base of equal participatory rights in the state – a politicization of the sea took place. The study goes beyond the example of Athens to look at evidence for other poleis and encompasses developments from Archaic to Hellenistic times. ; En la prehistoria Griega, cada posición de poder estaba basada en poseer y explotar el potencial agricultor local y regional. El presente estudio analiza cómo las ciudades griegas abrieron un nuevo campo de recursos abarcando el mar. Atenas facilitó un ejemplo prototípico a través de las ventajas conseguidas mediante la activación del comercio marítimo y el dominio a gran escala de las rutas marítimas. La introducción de la marina tuvo repercusiones de largo alcance en la política doméstica de los atenienses: debido a que los thetes jugaron a partir de ese momento un parte vital en las fuerzas armadas, a que demandaron y accedieron a una mayor influencia en la política de su ciudad. En este doble sentido –la dominación del mar como una fuente del poder en la política foránea y la ampliación de la base demográfica con derechos participativos igualitarios en el estado– tuvo lugar una politización del mar. Este estudio profundiza en el ejemplo de Atenas para buscar las evidencias de otras poleis y encomienda el desarrollo desde el periodo arcaico al helenístico.

L'atemptat terrorista a Madrid tres dies abans de les eleccions generals de març de 2004 sembla que capgirà els resultat esperats pels sondejos decantant la balança del PP cap al PSOE. Investigadors de la UAB han aprofitat l'oportunitat única que els brinda aquest fet per analitzar l'impacte d'aquelles eleccions generals en les grans empreses espanyoles utilitzant les tècniques d'estudi d'esdeveniments, que mesuren l'impacte dels esdeveniments sorpresa en el mercat de valors, i així posar a prova algunes hipòtesis políticoeconòmiques. La seva conclusió és que l'impacte d'un o altre partit governant a Espanya no provoca grans canvis en les polítiques econòmiques generals, sinó que canvia el valor dels acords entre els polítics i les empreses. ; El atentado terrorista en Madrid tres días antes de las elecciones generales de marzo de 2004 parece que invirtió los resultados esperados por los sondeos decantando la balanza del PP hacia el PSOE. Investigadores de la UAB han aprovechado la oportunidad única que les brinda este hecho para analizar el impacto de aquellas elecciones generales en las grandes empresas españolas utilizando las técnicas del estudio de eventos, que miden el impacto de los eventos sorpresa en el mercado de valores, y así poner a prueba algunas hipótesis político-económicas. Su conclusión es que el impacto de uno u otro partido gobernante en España no provoca grandes cambios en las políticas económicas generales, sino cambia que el valor de los acuerdos entre los políticos y las empresas. ; The terrorist attack in Madrid three days before the general election of March 2004 seemed to be the cause of the unexpected election results, overturning all predictions and tipping the balance from PP to PSOE. UAB researchers have taken the opportunity this event presents to analyse the impact the 2004 election had on large Spanish firms. To do this, they used event study techniques, which measure the impact of surprise events on the stock market, and tested a series of politico- economic hypotheses. Their conclusion is that the impact produced by either of the ruling parties in Spain does not cause large changes in general economic policies. Instead, what changes is the value of agreements between politicians and firms.
