The current Suchet bedroom in the Can Papiol house is the result of the traditional belief that French general Louis Gabriel Suchet stayed at the great manor of the Papiol family in Vilanova i la Geltru during the Spanish War of Independence. However, there is no documentation that allows us to confirm whether or not he stayed at Can Papiol. The supposed chamber of the general allows us to analyse and understand how and why the Louis XVI style was used in Vilanova and applied, precisely, in the bedroom destined to host the supposed stay of the general. On the other hand, the documentation of the Papiol archive has brought relevant information on the original distribution of the house through unprecedented plans from the mid 19th century, an 1817 inventory, the family accounts and the receipts of the craftsmen who worked in the manor during its construction and its later maintenance.

Esta tesis examina en profundidad el tratado de montería que contiene el manuscrito de Alonso de Valdevira cuyo original se guarda en la biblioteca de esta escuela, el doctorando ha restituido según los actuales convenios y sistemas del medio gráfico los difíciles y secos dibujos del arquitecto del siglo XVI deduciendo (hasta agotarlos) los procesos geométricos de los que se valían nuestros canteros renacentistas para obtener los planos de moneea, las plantillas a tamaño natural y finalmente las dovelas (o bolsores como les llamaron en aquel momento) y su decoración. Examinó el doctorando los escasos y sencillos instrumentos de los que se valían los profesionales: la llamada saltarreglas y el baibel . Finalmente ha ilustrado la tesis con reproducciones fotográficas de los ejemplos siontectónicos reales que mejor se adaptan a los títulos que represento Alonso de Valdevira

International audience; OBJECTIVES: To delineate the clustering of energy balance-related behaviors in adolescents and investigate whether these behaviors are associated with the household socioeconomic status and parental education level. METHODS: Two cross-sectional studies assessed information on sedentary behavior, physical activity, sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit and vegetable consumption, and sleep duration by self-reported questionnaires in adolescents (12.5-17.5 years old) from Maringa/Brazil (BRACAH Study; n = 682) and ten European cities (HELENA Study; n = 1252) from nine different countries. Gender-specific cluster analyses were performed separately for each study, applying a combination of hierarchical and non-hierarchical methods. RESULTS: Girls showed equivalent behaviors: Sedentary; Active; Unhealthy Eating; Healthy Eating; while boys differed (Brazilian: Sedentary; Active; Healthy Eating; European: Sedentary; Healthy; Unhealthy Eating). In Brazil, we found no association between socioeconomic status and parental education. In European girls, the high socioeconomic status and both parents' university degree were associated with Healthy Eating. In European boys, the high socioeconomic status was associated with Unhealthy Eating, and the mothers' university degree was associated with the Healthy cluster. CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents show Sedentary behavior, regardless of their sex, country of origin, or socioeconomic condition.

Muqarnas domes and cornices represent a unique element in Islamic architecture. Muqarnas embody a form of architectural ornament with a cellular structure. This style includes an endless variety of longitudinal friezes and, in particular, generates a system that builds astonishing vaults consisting of complex combinations of units that are challenging to distinguish. The geometric divisions of a squinch create a large number of mini-squinches that produce various Muqarnas arrangements. The Muqarnas architectural ornament can be understood by juxtaposing the different individual forms together to cover a space, creating a vault, dome or linear cornice. Here, we aim to investigate the origins of the Muqarnas cellular structure and to establish the substantial difference between the Muqarnas located in the Eastern and Western regions. Emphasis is then placed on the methodologies for assembling and building the Muqarnas in the Maghreb and Andalusia.

During the months after the decree of the state of alarm in Spain, and due to the health emergency due to COVID-19, different types of artificial respirators are developed in Spain by different groups of makers for the treatment of patients affected by pneumonia bilateral. The object of the study focuses on the analysis of the viability of the different solutions offered to the market as an alternative to commercial options at a key moment such as supply during a pandemic. In this paper, the advantages and technological potential of these solutions are evaluated and their limitations are identified. Through the methodology of semi-open interviews with developers and access to opensource manufacturing resources, data is extracted regarding the design, materials and manufacturing processes of mechanical respirators. MET techniques and analysis by functional hierarchies are carried out in order to offer an objective study on the advantages and disadvantages of campaign resources, presenting and ranking data on functionality, material and manufacturing processes that save time and may result useful in similar situations. An in-depth study of each of the solutions provided and a comparison at an industrial level is carried out, which has made it possible to establish that adequate access to opensource resources, IoT connectivity, the use of additive manufacturing techniques, reducing the use of ferric materials and the optimized design for rapid manufacturing are potential future solution advantages in case of similar emergency situations. Durante los meses posteriores al decreto del estado de alarma en España, y por la emergencia sanitaria debida al COVID-19, se desarrollan en España, por parte de distintos grupos de makers, diferentes tipos de respiradores artificiales para el tratamiento de pacientes afectados de neumonía bilateral. El objeto del estudio se centra en el análisis de la viabilidad de las distintas soluciones ofrecidas al mercado como alternativa a las opciones comerciales en un momento tan clave como el abastecimiento durante una pandemia. En este trabajo se evalúan las ventajas y el potencial tecnológico de estas soluciones y se identifican sus limitaciones. Mediante la metodología de entrevistas semiabiertas a los desarrolladores y el acceso a los recursos de fabricación opensource se extraen datos referidos al diseño, materiales y procesos de fabricación de los ventiladores mecánicos. A continuación, se realiza una comparativa MET y un análisis por jerarquías funcionales con objeto de ofrecer un estudio objetivo sobre las ventajas e inconvenientes de los recursos de campaña, presentando y jerarquizando datos sobre funcionalidad, material y procesos de fabricación que ahorren tiempo y puedan resultar útiles en situaciones similares. Se realiza un estudio en profundidad de cada una de las soluciones aportadas y una comparativa a nivel industrial lo que ha permitido establecer que el acceso adecuado a los recursos opensource, la conectividad IoT, el uso de técnicas de fabricación aditiva, reducir el uso de materiales férricos y el diseño optimizado para la fabricación rápida son potenciales ventajas de soluciones en el futuro en caso de situaciones de emergencia similares.

Màster Oficial en Estudis Avançats en Història de l'Art. Facultat de Geografia i Història de la UB. Curs: 2019-2020, Tutor: Rosa M. Creixell i Cabeza, La investigació té com a objecte d'estudi la casa pairal de la nissaga Papiol, coneguda com a Can Papiol (1790 - 1801). El recorregut que es proposa en la investigació parteix de l'estudi històric local per tal de contextualitzar l'edificació de la casa Papiol i la seva ocupació durant el segle XIX. Per entendre la rellevància que té la casa familiar i la família en el sistema de l'Antic Règim, és indispensable estudiar el llinatge dels Papiol. En aquest punt, cal fer especial referència al rígid sistema que estructura la família catalana des del segle XVI: el pairalisme, i com a resultat vertebrador del sistema, la casa pairal. Els interiors històrics i el mobiliari de la planta noble de Can Papiol són el principal objecte d'estudi i en el qual s'ha centrat gran part de la tesi. L'evolució dels usos de les cambres i el mobiliari d'aquestes articulen el discurs teòric de la investigació i l'anàlisi crítica de la disposició museística actual.

The principle of complexity as the evolution vector of the gothic style was an idea largely developed by Paul Frankl. The high complexity reached in the 15th and 16th centuries was possible thanks to the geometrical resources developed in the workshops of the medieval stonemasons. The search for more sophisticated designs was possible also with the higher standardization, so that the most complex ribbed vault could be built with ribs that had all the same curvature and with voussoirs that were therefore identical. Spanish Gothic architecture has been deeply studied from a historical and artistic point of view. The present paper, as a complement to these analyses, aims to point out some of the geometrical methods and technological improvements that late medieval masons were able to develop. In that way, some selected vaults have been measured, in order to study their geometry and design process. Also scale models of some vaults have been built at the Escuela de Arquitectura (Madrid) to validate these geometrical principles. More than just a research method, the scale models allow to understand the medieval construction techniques, and they are a powerful pedagogical tool with which pupils can reach a rewarding experience based on the “medieval-way” praxis.
