Yes / A program of Compassionate City or Community (CC) has been designed and developed in the City of Vic (43,964 habitants, Barcelona, Spain), based on The Compassionate City Charter and other public health literature and experiments, with the joint leadership of the City Council and the Chair of Palliative Care at the University of Vic, and as an expansion of a comprehensive and integrated system of palliative care. Methods: The program started with an assessment of needs of the city as identified by 48 social organizations with a foundational workshop and a semi-structured survey. After this assessment, the mission, vision, values and aims were agreed. The main aims consisted in promoting changes in social and cultural attitudes toward the end of life (EoL) and providing integrated care for people with advanced chronic conditions and social needs such as loneliness, poverty, low access to services at home, or conflict. The selected slogan was “Living with meaning, dignity, and support the end of life”. Results: The program for the first year has included 19 activities (cultural, training, informative, and mixed) and followed by 1,260 attendants, and the training activities were followed by 147 people. Local and regional sponsors are funding the initiative. After a year, a quantitative and qualitative evaluation was performed, showing high participation and satisfaction of the attendants and organizations. In the second year, the care for particular vulnerable people defined as targets (EoL and social factors described before) will start with volunteers with more organizations to join the project. Conclusions: The key identified factors for the initial success are: the strong joint leadership between social department of the Council and the University; clear aims and targets; high participation rates; the limited size of the geographical context; which allowed high participation and recognition; and the commitment to evaluate results.

Pesquisa do Estado de S?o Paulo (FAPESP) / The process of assembling the reinforcement and the density of the concrete in structural pieces demand time and displacement of labor. The use of reinforcement with fibers in partial replacement of the transverse reinforcement could reduce the time of manufacture and facilitate the densification of the parts. Given this scenario, this research aimed at the study of concrete reinforced with fibers and reinforced concrete beams, in order to verify their behavior. Traces of concrete reinforced with steel fibers and traces of concrete with alkali-resistant glass fibers were made. In addition, the asphaltic milling residue was used for partial replacement of the small and large aggregate in the percentage of 15%. The material characterization was performed according to ABNT standards. Tests were performed to evaluate the Compressive Strength, Indirect Traction, Elasticity Modulus, and Tenacity through the Barcelona and ASTM C-1399 Tests. The evaluation of the mechanical behavior was performed by means of four-point bending in reinforced concrete beams, aiming to show its behavior to the applicant efforts. The results show the positive effect of the fibers for concrete with residues in their composition, mainly with respect to the steel fibers. It was verified a greater performance of the fibers as the Residual Resistance of the concrete and its Tenacity. It was also apresentated the viability of the structural application of asphalt milling residue as partial replacement of natural aggregates. / O processo de montagem da armadura e do adensamento do concreto em pe?as estruturais demandam tempo e deslocamento de m?o de obra.

As of the 19th C up until our present day, big cities have set the stage for many literary works, and Barcelona is no exception to this occurrence.  This study aims to address the urban imagery of a postwar Barcelona through the walks described in three novels, written by Spanish women writers. Each one will be analyzed both individually and contrastively. The necessary comparisons will be established and we will further prove the suitability of the theories of Certau, Lefebvre and Lynch. Finally, we will establish the appropriate conclusions derived from our investigation. / Las grandes metrópolis han sido escenario de multitud de narraciones desde el s. XIX hasta la actualidad y Barcelona no es ninguna excepción de ello. Este estudio se aborda el imaginario urbano de la Barcelona de postguerra en los paseos descritos en tres novelas de escritoras españolas, analizándolas individual y contrastivamente. Se procede a establecer las comparaciones necesarias y se observa la idoneidad de algunas teorías de Certeau, Lefebvre y de Lynch. Se aportan, por fin, las conclusiones pertinentes

Aquesta tesi doctoral consisteix en una sèrie de deu articles (8 publicats y 2 en premsa) basats en dades recollides a l'estudi AMICS (Asthma Multicentre Infant Cohort Study), portat a terme a Ashford (UK) a Barcelona y a Menorca. A més dels propis articles, s'inclouen una introducció i una discussió generals per a mostrar de forma conjunta les troballes i posar-les en el context de l'evidència científica actual. També s'inclou un apartat sobre les implicacions dels resultats obtinguts tant per la recerca etiològica de l'asma com per a la salut pública, així com una llista de recomanacions finals. Des de l'any 1997 soc el responsable del estudi de cohort AMICS a Menorca, que ha comptat amb diverses beques del Ministeri de Sanitat i Consum, de la Comunitat Europea i d'una fundació privada. L'objectiu inicial principal del projecte europeu era mesurar el paper del aeroal.lergens domèstics més comuns en el procés d'iniciació de l'atòpia i l'asma. La cohort de Menorca va ampliar el seus objectius incloent dades addicionals sobre dieta i nivells d'organoclorats a la sang. El projecte continua a Menorca i en el moment de presentar la tesi s'està realitzant el seguiment del 9 anys. / The present doctoral thesis consists of a series of ten articles (8 published and 2 in press) based on data collected from the Asthma Multicentre Infant Cohort Study (AMICS), carried out in Ashford (UK) and Barcelona and Menorca (Spain). In addition to the articles themselves, a general introduction and a general discussion are included to put together the findings of the articles in the light of present scientific evidence. A section on the implications for the etiologic research of asthma and for public health and a list of final conclusions are also included. I have been responsible of the AMICS cohort in Menorca since its origin in 1997, which has been funded by different grants from the Spanish Ministry of Health, the European Commission and a private foundation. The main initial objective of the European project was to measure the role of common domestic aeroallergens in the inception of atopy and asthma. The Menorca cohort extended its objectives including additional data on dietary habits and blood levels of organochlorine compounds. The project continues in Menorca and at the moment of presenting this thesis the 9 years follow-up work is being carried out.

Aquesta Societat volia assolir l'objectiu d'incloure Barcelona i per extensió tota Catalunya dins dels circuits europeus de turisme. Creia que el turisme era una forma de modernitzar Catalunya, a més d'una manera d'enriquir-la cultural i econòmicament. I naturalment el referent era Europa perquè representa el desenvolupament industrial, i molt particularment França, que es el mirall on es vol que Catalunya es vegi reflectida, ja que era un dels països que més es preparava pel foment del turisme. Això provocà que conflueixin en aquesta Societat personatges molt compromesos amb aquesta idea de modernització i que bastants estiguessin propers a l'ideari de la Lliga Regionalista de Catalunya. La rellevància d'aquesta Societat es fomentar el turisme quan pocs creien en aquesta activitat, quan tot estava per fer, i emmarcar-la dins d'un projecte més global de modernització de l'economia catalana. / This society aimed at including Barcelona and, by extension, all of Catalonia, within European tours. It believed that tourism was a way to modernise Catalonia in addition to enriching it financially and culturally speaking. It goes without saying that the referent was Europe, envisaged as a symbol of industrial development, and particularly France, which became the mirror on which Catalonia wanted to reflect its own image as it was one of the countries that was already excelling in tourist promotion. This would explain why the society gathered together a number of important people that showed a commitment towards this idea of modernisation, some of them with ideas particularly close to the ideology of the Regionalist League of Catalonia. The importance of this society was the role it played in tourist promotion at a time when only a few believed in the power of this relatively-new practice and to include it within a more general project of modernisation of the Catalan economy.

L’Església catòlica baixmedieval, va aplicar la reforma que havia de regular la moral dels fidels centrant el seu control en les qüestions relatives a la moral sexual (segle XIV) a la diòcesi de Barcelona. Aquesta tesi explica els mecanismes d’aquest control i recull el que visites pastorals i processos episcopals expliquen sobre l’intent de regular les formes d’unió de parella i conductes com l’adulteri, l’incest, la prostitució i molt particularment, el concubinat del clergat. Sosté que, en posar en marxa aquests mecanismes de control, l’Església partia d’una posició de desconfiança, -o de temor-, envers la dona, que portà a un control ferri de la sexualitat dels feligresos en general i dels clergues en especial. Els esforços de reforma dels costums morals van tenir èxit divers, que van abocar en una conseqüència, potser no conscientment volguda, però real: la definició d’una imatge de la dona perillosa, la bruixa, que calia combatre. / Medieval Catholic Church attempted to reform the moral of its members by focusing on aspects related to sexual morality in the 14th C in Barcelona. This thesis explains the mechanisms of such control and compiles the information that pastoral visits and Episcopal trials provide about the attempts to regulate sexual relationship behaviors and conducts, such as: adultery, incest, prostitution and specially Clergy’s concubinage. This thesis supports the statement that when these mechanisms for control were activated by the Catholic Church, they stemmed from distrust –or suspicion- towards women. Such position led to a fierce control of sexual behavior for all Catholic Church members and particularly the Clergy. The efforts made to reform moral behavior had different effects on issues addressed. However, the real consequence –which might not have been deliberate- was the image definition of a dangerous woman, and fighting the Witch.

Syfte: Mot bakgrund kring en ökad turism i europeiska storstäder (Statista, u.å.) har syftet med studien varit att studera Barcelona som exempel för att bidra med en djupare förståelse kring hur turister och lokalbefolkning uppfattar varandra i stadsmiljöer med högt turistantal. Samt undersöka hur turismen har förändrat stadens stadskärna och miljö (Duran, 2005). Metod: I studien har ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt applicerats i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer och insamling av vetenskapliga artiklar till empirin. Tolv personer som har intervjuats som har koppling till Barcelona och det sammanfattas i empirin, tillsammans med de vetenskapliga artiklarna. Slutsatser: Den här studie har undersökt Barcelona som exempel för att belysa massturism som är ett omfattande problem som även går att finna i andra europeiska storstäder. Genom de insamlade intervjuerna och de vetenskapliga artiklar påvisades det att Barcelona har fått både positiva och negativa effekter av den massiva turism som finns i staden. Utifrån de insamlade intervjusvaren kunde slutsatsen dras att den sociala aspekten har störst negativ inverkan på lokalbefolkningen i staden. / Purpose: Against the background of increased tourism in European metropolitan areas (Statista, u.o.), the purpose of the study has been to study Barcelona as an example to contribute a deeper understanding of how tourists and locals perceive each other in urban environments with a high tourist number. As well as investigating how tourism has changed the city's city center and environment (Duran, 2005). Methodology: In this study, a qualitative approach has been applied in the form of semi-structured interviews and the gathering of scientific articles of empirical data. Twelve people interviewed who are connected to Barcelona and this is summarized in empirical section, along with the scientific articles. Conclusions: This study has explored Barcelona as an example to illustrate mass tourism, which is a major problem that can be found in other European cities. Through the collected interviews and the scientific articles, it was demonstrated that Barcelona has had both positive and negative effects of the massive tourism that exists in the city. Based on the collected interview answers, it could be concluded that the social aspect has the most negative impact on local people in the city.

L’ancienne phtisie pulmonaire, maladie sociale excellence au XIXème siècle, est encore, au début du XXème siècle, empreinte d’un fort imaginaire commun associé à la misère sociale. Cette thèse analyse l’inscription de cette maladie dans l’espace social barcelonais des années 1930, et pour ce faire, elle cherche à prendre en compte les multiples acceptions de la tuberculose, mêlant discours des médecins et vécu des patients.Avec la découverte du bacille de Koch en 1882, le microbe apparait comme l’unique cause de la tuberculose, ce qui suppose une redéfinition de la lutte antituberculeuse, désormais concentrée sur l’élimination de l’agent contagieux. Bien plus qu’auparavant, la tuberculose est alors associée aux recoins poussiéreux et à l’environnement insalubre comme à la promiscuité. A Barcelone entre 1929 et 1936, les autorités catalanes se concentrent sur la mise en place d’une lutte préventive qui vise à extirper le microbe de certains logements précisément identifiés dans la ville.La tuberculose est également une maladie sociale qui caractérise un groupe d’individus et l’isole du reste de la société. Outre une réflexion sur la construction sociale d’une catégorie homogène autour du dénominateur commun que constitue le microbe, cette thèse a pour but de prendre en compte la réalité vécue des individus malades soignés dans les dispensaires, hôpitaux et sanatoria gratuits et de comprendre leur intégration dans le panorama social barcelonais à cette époque. Il apparait dès lors que ces tuberculeux sont souvent des actifs avec une position sociale précaire liée à une moindre intégration dans la ville, sans être pour autant complètement « isolés » socialement. C’est la déclaration de la maladie qui les fait « basculer » dans un groupe d’exclus sociaux pris en charge médicalement.Mais plus qu’un identifiant commun, la tuberculose est surtout un vécu personnel. Le malade est un acteur essentiel de sa maladie comme de sa guérison et son parcours met au jour une pratique de la lutte qui permet de redéfinir par le bas les structures de soins, et la logique médicale moderne telle qu’elle est évoquée dans les discours. Enfin, ces parcours individuels de malades dans la capitale catalane brouillent surtout la catégorie unifiée et homogène mettant en avant des préoccupations personnelles qui dépassent l’exigence de santé et l’absolue nécessité de se prémunir contre le microbe, laissant apparaitre des visions divergentes de la lutte contre la maladie à la même époque. / « Consumption », a major concern of the late 19th century, was still a disease associated with misery in the collective imagination of the early 20th century. The present dissertation focuses on consumption in the Barcelonian social space of the 1930s: it seeks to circumscribe the multiple meanings of tuberculosis which emerge from medical discourse as well as from the patients’ experience.The discovery of the Koch bacillus in 1882 entailed a redefinition of the fight against tuberculosis, as the bacillus came to be seen as the single cause of the disease. Since priority was given to the eradication of the contagious agent, tuberculosis was more than before associated with dust, unsanitary and crowded environments. From 1929 to 1936, the Catalan authorities in Barcelona concentrated on preventive action, which consisted in the extirpation of the Koch bacillus from housing in some areas that were precisely identified.Besides the analysis of tuberculosis as a homogeneous social construct, the present dissertation takes the patients’ points of view into account. Tuberculosis is a social disease that characterises a group of individuals and isolates them from the rest of society. A focus on individuals who were treated in a network of free dispensaries, hospitals and sanatoriums helps us understand their position in the social landscape of Barcelona at that time : prior to being diagnosed with tuberculosis, the patients had been working and were often marginally integrated to the city’s life without being altogether socially isolated. Contracting the disease is what downgraded them to the category of medically treated paupers.More than a common status though, tuberculosis was a personal experience for the individuals struggling against the disease and getting cured. The latter’s clinical files provide a bottom-up perspective on medical institutions and on the logics of modern medical discourse. The patients’ individual trajectories in the capital of Catalonia further blur the unified and homogeneous reference to tuberculosis, as they give priority to personal concerns over health requirements and over the absolute necessity of the fight against the bacillus, thus revealing diverging contemporary understandings of the fight against tuberculosis. / La antes denominada tisis pulmonar, enfermedad social por excelencia del siglo XIX, sigue siendo, aun en el siglo XX, empreñada de un fuerte imaginario común asociado a la miseria social. Esa tesis doctoral pretende analizar la inscripción de esta enfermedad en el espacio social barcelonés de los años 1930 y con este fin toma en cuenta las múltiples acepciones de la tuberculosis, entremezclando discursos de los médicos y vivencias de los pacientes.Con el descubrimiento del bacilo de Koch en 1882, el microbio se convierte en la única causa de la enfermedad lo cual supone una redefinición de la lucha antituberculosa, ahora directamente orientada hacia la eliminación del agente contagioso. Aun más que antes, la tuberculosis es entonces asociada al rincón polvoriento, al ambiente insalubre y el hacinamiento. En Barcelona entre 1929 y 1936 las autoridades catalanas se concentran en el establecimiento de una lucha preventiva que aspira a extirpar el germen de ciertas viviendas precisamente identificadas en la ciudad.La tuberculosis también es una enfermedad social que caracteriza a un grupo de individuos aislándolo del resto de la sociedad. Además de una reflexión sobre la construcción social de una categoría homogénea alrededor del denominador común que constituye el microbio, esa tesis tiene como objetivo realzar la realidad vivida por los individuos enfermos curados en los dispensarios, hospitales y sanatorios gratuitos, así como entender sus maneras de desenvolverse en el panorama social barcelonés en esa época. Así aparece que los tuberculosos suelen ser unos activos con una posición social precaria, vinculada a una menor integración en la ciudad, sin ser por lo tanto completamente aislados socialmente. Es la declaración de la enfermedad la que les hace “bascular” en un grupo de excluidos sociales asumidos como tales por las autoridades médicas.Pero, más que un identificador común, la tuberculosis es sobre todo una vivencia personal. El enfermo es un actor esencial de su enfermedad tanto como de su curación, y su recorrido muestra una práctica de la lucha que permite redefinir desde abajo las estructuras asistenciales y la lógica médica moderna tal como es evocada en los discursos. Por fin, los recorridos individuales de enfermos en Barcelona nublan sobre todo la percepción de una categoría unificada y homogénea, realzando las preocupaciones personales que se sobreponen a la exigencia de salud, o a la absoluta necesidad de prevenirse frente al germen, dejando ver visiones discrepantes de la lucha contra la enfermedad.

B+B Barcelona/master’s thesis/Iva Křikavová/studio of Ivan Koleček/2010 Urban Plan of Poble Nou district of Barcelona in the past was strongly defined, factory halls fully built the block, streets and squares had a clear structure. Industry terminated operations and adjacent diagonals became attractive for various companies, hotels and developers, who started to build. Thirty-storey houses with undefined environment, the structure is lost, chaos prevails. To preserve the character of the plan, the old and the newly formed buildings, became a clear definition of the school block. Definition of block one hundred years ago lay in the absolute middle of the courtyard, but how to behave now in 2010? The answer is to define a block with three houses, each of then has its function - school, sports, library and dining room. Among them are moving teachers and students, experiencing the way, change the focus away leaving behind the school building and coming to do sports, eat or read a book. Actual volumes, however, could not become the answers, they could not become to be an integrated bloc. The space between them must band them together to give a complete character, followed by the part-built and connect everything to each other, gain mobility system common to all three. The solution became a principle belts - belt bound outdoors, belt inner freedom (hall, path to the target classroom, a room) and the target belt in the form of classrooms, gym and multipurpose halls. Cerda Plan for unique compared to other rectangular nets are the squares that are created with cutting off corner of the block. Project in such an urban network should respond to this. What is the city block and cut off the corner? In a project for me is not a barrier to good regular layout, but instead of entering the city and its principles into the project and school responses to these special places. In all four corners is resulting in an open hall houses all over the floor, becoming an indoor view schools in cities and towns for school. The system is one exception, it is an existing church, which has not an ambitions to become something special and unusual, but is part of the whole. Each object has its own ledge. This has become a symbol of an element that turns the house imide to the courtyard and other buildings. It connects the building and the downstream area, it gives him character building, sport connects with an outdoor playground, building a library with a place for rest and home school with a place with trees. All three ledges are the same height, thus uniting the whole school, the whole block. Facades are open underneath, glazed, thus having a different character than the rest.
