Identifying future steps to allow an efficient fisheries management advice among scientific committees in regional fisheries management organizations
Fish stocks around the world are managed by regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) with regulatory authority which usually have differences in the internal processes to provide scientific advice. To improve the cooperation between the different RFMOs, and contribute to the reinforcement of regional fisheries assessment bodies (RFABs), we compare the work procedures from the main organizations that evaluate most of the commercial stoc…
Mapping procurement areas of lithic resources and mobility patterns
Is it possible to define based on the circulation of chert and obsidian the patterns of mobility and the procurement strategies of lithic resources among the first inhabitants of the Western Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia? This paper tackles this question through the following research objectives: 1) To build, through bibliographic research, a systematic database including all published data concerning the presence of chert and obs…
Cal Sitjo
Cal Sitjo is a new archaeological sequence located in a chert-rich region of the NE Iberian Peninsula, in the town of Sant Martí de Tous (Anoia, Barcelona). The area has undergone significant anthropisation and several archaeological sites (e.g., Vilars de Tous), quarries and workshops for the exploitation of chert (e.g., La Guinardera) have been documented, corresponding to different periods. The abundance of chert made this region an almost obl…
Clinical Experience of Using Telemedicine for the Management of Patients Using Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion in a Highly Complex Latin American Hospital
The results of this study suggest that telemedicine is a strategy for maintaining glycemic control in patients using CSII. However, the lack of access to the internet and adequate telemonitoring devices make it difficult to use on a large scale in emerging countries like ours
Palaeolithic archaeology in the conglomerate caves of north-eastern Iberia
Large, conglomerate caves in north-eastern Iberia have been significant places since the Neolithic through to historical times; however, their significance during the Palaeolithic has barely been explored. This project is the first systematic study of the use of these iconic geological landmarks among Pleistocene hunter-gatherers
The Guinardera quarry (Sant Martí de Tous, Barcelona)
In 2014, an anthropic accumulation of chert material was discovered in La Guinardera area, at the southwest of the Sant Martí de Tous town (Barcelona, NE Iberian Peninsula). In 2018 a first archaeological intervention was carried out in two locations: La Guinardera and La Guinardera Nord. After the fieldworks, these two accumulations were interpreted as chert workshops. These workshops are in the St. Genís Formation, included within La Noguera la…
A Multi-Domain Group-Based Intervention to Promote Physical Activity, Healthy Nutrition, and Psychological Wellbeing in Older People with Losses in Intrinsic Capacity
The World Health Organization has developed the Integrated Care of Older People (ICOPE) strategy, a program based on the measurement of intrinsic capacity (IC) as "the composite of all physical and mental attributes on which an individual can draw". Multicomponent interventions appear to be the most effective approach to enhance IC and to prevent frailty and disability since adapted physical activity is the preventive intervention that has shown …

Mobilité territoriale pendant le Paléolithique moyen en contextes discoïde et Levallois
Le niveau M et le sous-niveau Oa du site de l’Abric Romaní (Capellades, Barcelona, Espagne), présentent différents types de contextes technologiques. Les chaînes opératoires du niveau M montrent des stratégies expéditives. L’assemblage lithique du sous-niveau Oa est associé à des stratégies hiérarchisées et à des chaînes opératoires Levallois. Le silex est la roche plus utilisée (80,8 % pour le niveau M, 91,6 % pour le niveau Oa). Toutes les form…
Fingerprinting of Quartzitic Outcrops at Oldupai Gorge, Tanzania
The African Early Stone Age record, including that of Oldupai Gorge, reveals widespread evidence for hominin exploitation of quartzose lithic raw materials such as quartzite. However, few studies have sought to characterize these rock types grounded on the assumption that they are not amenable for provenance studies. Through the use of macroscopic, petrographic, and EDXRF analysis, we characterize source material from five quartzitic outcrops bel…
Structural characterization and decontamination of dental calculus for ancient starch research
The silica road
During the 10th International Symposium on Knappable Materials (ISKM) held at Barcelona (Spain) in 2015, a field trip along “The Silica Road” was organized. It included the visit to different chert outcrops located along the Montsant Massif (Tarragona, NE Iberian Peninsula), and to the Middle Palaeolithic site of the Abric Romaní (Capellades, Barcelona), as important locations for the Prehistory of the North East of the Iberian Peninsula.This pap…
Procurement and mobility during the Late Pleistocene
The Picamoixons site is a rockshelter located in the province of Tarragona (NE Iberian Peninsula). It was object of two rescue campaigns during 1988 and 1993, which led to the recovery of a complete archaeological assemblage, including stone tools as well as faunal and portable art remains that date the occupation to the 14th to 11th millennium BP (calibrated). This study involves a petrographic characterisation of the stone-tool assemblage in or…

Potential siliceous sources during Prehistory
We present the results of prospecting in the NE of the Iberian Peninsula, with the aim of identifying the siliceous sources potentially used by the populations that occupied the marginal basins of the Ebro depression during the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic.We intend to define the main characteristics of the cherts in the region studied, taking into account the palaeoenvironment in which silicifications are mainly formed, and the premise that sil…
Nuevos datos para el Neolítico antiguo en el nordeste de la Península Ibérica procedentes de la Cova del Toll (Moià, Barcelona) y de la Cova de la Font Major (L’Espluga de Francolí, Tarragona)
La reactivación de la actividad arqueológica española a partir de los años 1950, especialmente prolífica en algunas regiones como Cataluña, incorporó algunos yacimientos clave para el conocimiento de los grandes procesos culturales del pasado. Es el caso de las cuevas del Toll y Font Major cuyas colecciones de cerámica cardial, por su cantidad y calidad, han sido de referencia para el Neolítico antiguo en distintos momentos. En cambio cuentan con…
A European study investigating patterns of transition from home care towards institutional dementia care
The current study, which is part of a large European project 'RightTimePlaceCare', generates primary data on outcomes and costs of long-term nursing care for people with dementia and their informal caregivers, specifically focusing on the transition from home towards institutional care. Together with data collected in three other work packages, knowledge gathered in this study will be used to inform and empower patients, professionals, policy and…
Changes in health related quality of life 3 months after an acute coronary syndrome
The dimensions most affected at three months after an acute coronary episode were those related to the physical component. Undergoing revascularisation improved the PCS in patients, but in the younger patients and those without personal antecedents or risk factors, the PCS was affected more, perhaps due to greater expectations for recovery in these patients
Physical and mental component summaries score of the SF-36 in coronary patients
