Our penetration in our area of influence continues to grow, especially in ambulatory activity (57% of the IMAS’s outpatients consultancy activity comes from the IMAS’s area of influence), working through community programs that improve the relationship between the population and health services. With the integration of the hospital’s specialists in primary care and the women’s health program, our relationship with the population in our catchment area has become better and better. The consolidation of our staff, with several invitations for applicants to definitively cover jobs formerly occupied by temporary assignment and the signing of the labor agreement for the years 2000-2003, laid an optimum foundation for embarking on the plan’s guidelines.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

Una, de deixadesa i desolació, és la sorgida de la ploma i de la imagi- nació d’un jove i sarcàstic Josep Pla:1 A la Secció Filològica de l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans, quan el veuen entrar, petit, encorbat, grasset, amb aquella expressió tan desolada d’home abandonat, tothom tremola. Els plecs de l’armilla plens de cendra i de llumins apagats, el barret espès de tinya sobre una cara mal afaitada, plena de barbs, les calces com dues boques de canó a la funerala, la corbata a tres quarts de quinze, les ungles vellutadament negres, els ulls mullats d’humors rogencs damunt d’unes bosse- tes de color de rosa, el bigoti torrat i caigut com una cortina esfilagarsada... Ruyra s’asseu davant la taula. Al mig, hi acaben de posar una plata de dolços. Ruy- ra és llaminer i es complau, abans d’engolir el producte delicat, de palpar-lo, de constatar la densitat de la crema, de digitejar sobre les gracioses flaqueses de la confitura, de cercar el punt més suau de la crosta de la xocolata. — Que no mengen? Són una delícia... [...] Naturalment, ningú no menja. Quins treballs, però, per a fer-li entendre, amb la discreció exigida pel respecte, el desmenjament absolut que de cop i vol- ta s’ha apoderat de la filologia oficial.

    VII. EL COMPROMÍS DE POMPEU FABRA AMB L’IEC POMPEU FABRA I L’INSTITUT D’ESTUDIS CATALANS JORDI MIR I PARACHE, INSTITUT D’ESTUDIS CATALANS Simposi Pompeu Fabra.indb 237 31/7/20 9:00 Quan ens posem a analitzar el lligam entre Pompeu Fabra i l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans arribem ben aviat i invariablement a la conclusió que per a Fabra l’Ins- titut va ser l’eina que li va permetre materialitzar el seu projecte, llargament viscut, de codificació de la llengua, i que l’Institut va trobar en ell la persona amb la capacitat necessària per dur a bon terme l’objectiu que s’havia proposat. L’Ins- titut i Fabra es van complementar, doncs, en una simbiosi perfecta. Per arribar a aquesta coincidència positiva calia, però, conjuminar volun- tats. I això no va ser difícil perquè la decisió de l’Institut, en la persona de Prat de la Riba com a impulsor màxim del projecte, d’aconseguir el retorn de Fabra de Bilbao i la seva incorporació a la nounada Secció Filològica va ser corresposta per Fabra amb el lliurament absolut a l’encàrrec que assumia. Com que de com es resolguessin aquells moments inicialment vacil·lants de la Secció n’havia de sortir el resultat desitjable, pot ser interessant de veure quin va ser el camí que hi va menar. La Secció va ser creada, ensems que la de Ciències, el dia 14 de febrer de 1911 i per constituir-la van ser designats els set membres següents: Antoni Maria Alcover, Lluís Segalà, Pompeu Fabra, Joan Maragall, Frederic Clascar, Àngel Guimerà i Josep Carner, dels quals només Alcover i Fabra tenien la lingüística com a primer objectiu.

This article ana- lyzes Spanish challenges and policies approaches towards the manage- ment of immigration related diversity in education. The main finding is that there is not one approach, but several, due to both the decentralized character of the education system and the multiplicity of diversity that is at stake (i.e. language, religion, culture etc.). ❚Key Words : Education, Diversity, Immigration, Spain, Europe. Introduction: Spain in the European debate In the critical European dilemma between increasing diversity policies and an assimilationist policy,1) education is seen as an in- strument of social integration and a mean of constructing identity. Education continues to be, perhaps more than ever, the most crucial socialization institution.
