Sommario/riassunto |

"By the mid-nineteenth century, efforts to modernize and industrialize Mexico City had the unintended consequence of exponentially increasing the risk of fire while also breeding a culture of fear. Through an array of archival sources, Anna Rose Alexander argues that fire became a catalyst for social change, as residents mobilized to confront the problem. Advances in engineering and medicine soon fostered the rise of distinct fields of fire-related expertise while conversely, the rise of fire-profiteering industries allowed entrepreneurs to capitalize on crisis. City on Fire demonstrates that both public and private engagements with fire risk highlight the inequalities that characterized Mexican society at the turn of the twentieth century"-- |

Sommario/riassunto |

Malnutrition lurks in the background of hospitalized medical patients. A large proportion of patients are malnourished upon hospital admission and patients often experience further nutritional deterioration during their stay and during disease recovery. However, although the negative effects of malnutrition on the outcomes of patients are well recognized, we still struggle to identify appropriate patients and efficacious nutritional interventions to overcome this problem. Recent studies have produced convincing evidence that adequate and timely nutritional management of medical in-patients can contribute to the prevention of negative consequences and thus improve the clinical outcome of patients. This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine focuses on multiple practical aspects of nutritional management of medical in-patients, from screening for nutritional risk to the practical implementation of nutritional therapy and its possible complications, including financial aspects, to |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Au départ est la cellera. Ce noyau originel des villages n'est rien d'autre que l'espace sacré entourant l'église, de forme le plus souvent circulaire, de trente pas de rayon, incluant donc le cimetière et servant d'asile aux habitants des campagnes en période de violences. En ce sens, la cellera roussillonnaise semble s'identifier formellement à la sagrera de la Catalogne du Sud. De fait, l'origine est la même, mais l'évolution fut divergente : c'est ce qu'établit magistralement cet ouvrage et c'est ce qui fait en grande partie l'originalité des villages roussillonnais. Aymat Catafau devient, dès ce premier livre, un |

spécialiste incontesté de l'histoire du Roussillon. Mais au-delà, par l'exemple qu'il a développé, par les perspectives qu'il ouvre, il apporte une contribution d'importance à notre connaissance de la vie des campagnes médiévales. Aussi bien sait-on depuis longtemps qu'il n'est pas de hiatus entre histoire générale et histoire locale.L'une vit de l'autre». Pierre Bonnassie, professeur à l'Université de Toulouse-Le Mirail. « En mariant la dimension diachronique et thématique, Aymat Catafau restitue deux mouvements simultanés : la création d'un réseau villageois (par une sorte de sélection darwinienne) et la création d'un tissu villageois (par cernes de croissance autour de la cellera primitive). Paradigme du village ecclésial, thème de recherche majeur de cette dernière décennie, la cellera a bien trouvé son historien ». Benoît Cursente, directeur de recherches au CNRS. « Une étude très fine des documents relatifs aux celleres roussillonnaises, étayée par une exploration très minutieuse des plans anciens et des morphologies villageoises actuelles a permis de développer et d'étayer une thèse originale : les celleres ont joué un rôle essentiel entre l'église et le castrum dans la genèse du village roussillonnais. C'est une vision dynamique, neuve et séduisante du village roussillonnais au Moyen Âge ». Pierre Toubert, professeur au Collège de France. |
