Those that took place between 2009 and 2017 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, their quantitative dimension and their intra-urban distribution are analysed in this study. This perspective allows an appreciation of their relationship with the unequal distribution of income and alien status, factors leading the investigations on the loss of property. In order to achieve this objective, the records of the Common Service of Notifications and Seizures have been used together with data of the Inland Revenue Ministry and Municipal Register, combining statistical and cartographical analysis with the purpose of finding associations Received: 07.06.2020 Accepted: 23.08.2020 Published: 19.11.2020 Published under the terms and conditions of an Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license. and predictive factors. The study reveals that there is a great concentration of real estate deprivation in the central areas of the city and that the standards of distribution of dispossession are inversely related to the level of income of the urban districts and directly related to the foreign population.

In this article, we shall focus on the teachers' use of the Moodle platform as well as their training in ICT in the adults centres of Canary Islands, Spain. For this purpose, we administered a questionnaire to the teachers with items about the existence and use of the Moodle platform in their centre. The results obtained revealed a body of teachers trained in ICT who use the Moodle platform and the tools available at their centres. Reality shows that most adult centres do not have many resources that teachers can use. © 2019 Published by Future Academy www.FutureAcademy.org.UK Keywords: Adult education, educational platform, ICT, moodle, teachers.

Medieval documentation of this type is relatively rare. Having outlined the cases made by the architects summoned to give their opinions on the development of the cathedral, the discussion considers three particular junctures. The first is that of illumination and affect, particularly jucunditas and laetitia; the second is that of nobility and magnificence; and the third is the juncture of the palace and church. I suggest that there is significant common ground between secular and religious buildings in regard to aesthetic experience and verbal articulation. Arguing against comprehensive aesthetic and theological orders of thought and experience, and in favour of the occasional character of medieval experience (that is, the sense in which experience should be understood within a particular set of circumstances, appropriately), I conclude that much of the known language of this sort sits ill with Romantic and post-Romantic concepts of the Sublime. KEYWORDS: Girona cathedral, Gothic, expertise, affects, nobility, magnificence, Sublime RESUMEN El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar aspectos de la experiencia estética medieval y la crítica de la arquitectura a través de las visuras redactadas en catalán y en latín, que tuvieron lugar en la Catedral de Girona en 1416-1417.
