  • Grupo 5’S Nursing Homes Activities
    PRESS RELEASE Korian strengthens its Spanish platform by acquiring Grupo 5’s nursing homes activities Paris, June 12, 2019, Korian Group, European expert in care and support services for the elderly, announces the acquisition of a portfolio of six nursing homes on the Balearic Islands from Grupo 5, a care service operator specialized in the fields of mental health, neurologic rehabilitation and social care. One step further to build a strong platform in Spain This acquisition expands the offering of Seniors, a Spanish company acquired by Korian early 2019 which operates 7 high-end facilities in Andalusia and 2 facilities in Valencia , representing a diversified portfolio of more than 1,300 beds, including nursing homes, assisted living and day care services. These 6 additional facilities, located on the island of Mallorca1 care for nearly 700 residents (private and concerted beds2) and 130 day centre visitors. ISO 9001 certified, they meet Korian’s quality standards both in terms of comfort and care. In particular, they rely on experienced multidisciplinary teams that operate according a people- centered model to provide personalized and adapted care to the needs while promoting proximity as well as facilitating connection with families, in line with Korian’s Positive Care. All the centres are operating under land concession agreements of 27 years on average, linked with secured concerted bed agreements of the same duration. Thanks to this new acquisition, Korian now benefits from a strong Spanish platform of 15 facilities with c. 2,160 beds and a total turnover of about €34m, which gives it a presence in three regions in which equipment needs in terms of elderly care and dependency are important.

  • Quaternary Beach Deposits in Mallorca: Paleontological and Geomorphological Data 
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Biblioteca Digital de les Illes Balears Quaternary beach deposits in Mallorca: paleontological and geomorphological data Damià Vicens1, Francesc Gràcia2,3 & Angel Ginés2,3 1 Societat d’Història Natural de les Balears, Palma, Spain. 2 Karst and Littoral Geomorphology Research Group, Universitat de les Illes Balears, Palma, Spain. 3 Federació Balear d'Espeleologia, Palma, Spain. 1. Research on Quaternary shorelines from Mallorca. Historical background Many researchers have worked on the Quaternary deposits scattered along the littoral zones of Mallorca Island. As a consequence, there are a significant number of publications on this topic, being almost impossible to assemble a comprehensive review in a general chapter like this one. Therefore, the present paper exclusively provides a historical background on the knowledge of Mallorcan Quaternary shorelines, along with their paleontological remains and chronology. La Marmora (1834) was the first geologist writing about Quaternary deposits on Mallorca Island. This author reports the presence of sandstones (with modest fossil content) in the southern flat areas of the island and conglomerates with marine shells, resembling those of present-day beaches, in just a few places. Haime (1855) dedicates only a paragraph in his study on the Quaternary paleontology, citating 12 species. Hermite (1879) distinguishes two levels within the marine raised beaches existing to the east of Palma Bay. The lower level is composed of some conglomerates previously mentioned by Haime, containing Acanthocardia tuberculata, along with other species currently living in the Mediterranean Basin, except for the thermophilous species Strombus bubonius.

  • 5. La Cultura Postalayótica (650/550-123 Ac) M
    5. LA CULTURA POSTALAYÓTICA (650/550-123 AC) M. Calvo y V. Guerrero (Universitat de les Illes Balears)25 5.1. INTRODUCCIÓN La Cultura Postalayótica es la última fase de la prehistoria de las Islas Baleares. A lo largo de este periodo veremos aparecer profundos cambios en la estructura social, económica e ideológica de estas últimas comunidades prehistóricas. En relación a todo este proceso, debemos situar una presencia cada vez mayor del mundo púnico en las Baleares, con el establecimiento de la factoría de Na Guardis, un aumento significativo de los intercambios y una modificación, cada vez más marcada, tanto en las estructuras socio-económicas como en los esquemas de racionalidad y en la ideología de las comunidades baleáricas. Todo ello provocará una continua transformación de la sociedad, con la aparición de procesos de segmentación social y acceso diferencial a los recursos. Por primera vez en la Prehistoria de las Baleares, parte de este proceso quedó registrado por las fuentes escritas de los historiadores griegos y romanos que, desde su perspectiva, nos dan una interesante visión de cómo eran los habitantes de las Baleares. Como se verá a lo largo de los diferentes apartados de este capítulo, la delimitación cronológica del Postalayótico no es sencilla. Los procesos de cambio en las sociedades se dan a lo largo de un determinado periodo, en el que vemos cómo las estructuras socio-económicas e ideológicas se van trasformando. En algunos casos, los procesos finales de estas transformaciones, pueden estar concentrados en cortos espacios de tiempo, aunque las razones y orígenes debamos buscarlos en un lapsus temporal más largo.
