Títulos al 2x1: el proceso de una doble titulación

The aim of this article is to present in a general way the process of elaboration of a double degree agreement. This modality allows you to have two titles or academic degrees in different universities, through a single study plan. his modality offers multiple benefits for students since being in contact with two universities presents mobility processes, contacts with other university students and expands the field for international projects. Some conditions are presented that allow the double degree between both universities. Once the Higher Education Institution with which to work has been selected, a curricular review is carried out and the agreement is presented. Important steps and challenges are presented during the development of the agreement, as well as the areas in charge of coordinating it and monitoring the participating students. As an example, the double degree agreement between the University of Cordoba in Spain and the Faculty of Medicine of the UNAM for the degree of Surgeon is presented. Keywords: Double degree; international cooperation; curricular internationalization; academic flexibility; educational agreements.

Inscripciones latinas inéditas de Casa del Olivo

Presentamos aquí tres inscripciones romanas, inéditas y presumiblemente procedentes del territorio de la actual provincia de Córdoba, dos de ellas registradas en el segundo volumen de la autobiografía de Carlos Castilla del Pino titulada Casa del Olivo. Las dos primeras son de carácter funerario y, al menos la segunda, se acomoda en tipología y contenido a los parámetros usuales de la epigrafía funeraria de la antigua Colonia Patricia Corduba; por el contrario, la tercera, fragmentada, corresponde a un epígrafe de carácter métrico

Architecture and urbanism of Colonia Patricia in Hadrian’s times: new contributions

espanolLa llegada al poder de Adriano no solo influyo en Italica, sino que tambien parece haber repercutido en Cor-doba, caputprovinciae de Baetica. El objetivo de la presente contribucion es tratar de reconstruir la imagen urbana de Co-lonia Patricia en epoca adrianea, prestando especial atencion a la arquitectura publica, pero sin olvidar la infraestructura defensiva, viaria e hidraulica, asi como la arquitectura do-mestica, productiva y funeraria. A la hora de alcanzar dicha meta hemos recopilado y analizado diversos testimonios ar-queologicos, arquitectonicos, escultoricos y epigraficos. Aun cuando en muchos casos la documentacion sugiera una data-cion del siglo II d.C., o mas concretamente de la primera mi-tad de dicha centuria, en ocasiones si hemos podido identifi-car determinados elementos bien fechados en epoca adrianea. EnglishHadrian’s government impacted not only in Italica,but also in Corduba, caput provinciae of Baetica. The aim of this contribution is to reconstruct the urban image of Colo-nia Patricia during Hadrian’s times, highlighting the public architecture, without forgetting the defensive, road, and hy-draulic infrastructures, as well as the residential, industrial, and funerary architectures. In order to achieve this objective, we have gathered and studied a wide range of archaeological, architectural, sculptural and epigraphic testimonies. Although in many cases the available documentation suggests a dating within the second century AD, it has been possible to identify certain elements dated in Hadrian’s times.

El relato del traslado de los santos mártires Jorge, Aurelio y Natalia: un valioso escrito hagiográfico y documental histórico de mediados del siglo IX

La obra De translatione sanctorum martyrum Georgii monachi, Aurelii et Nathaliae ex urbe Corduba Parisios, escrita por Aimonio de Saint Germain-des-Prés hacia el año 871, estaba falta de un comentario profundo. Los hechos que narra, los acontecimientos a los que alude y los personajes que nombra son tan importantes para la historia de España y de Francia en la Alta Edad Media, que trascienden el marco hagiográfico del relato y le confieren un gran valor documental. El autor de este artículo pasa revista a todos ellos dentro de su contexto socio-religioso, y ofrece la traducción al castellano del primer libro de los tres que componen la obra, el de mayor interés y donde mejor se combinan historia y hagiografía.

PHOTOGRAMMETRIC AND LIDAR DOCUMENTATION OF THE ROYAL CHAPEL (CATHEDRAL-MOSQUE OF CORDOBA, SPAIN)

Abstract. At present, cultural heritage documentation projects use a variety of spatial data acquisition techniques such as conventional surveying, photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanning. This paper deals with a full documentation project based on all those techniques in the Royal Chapel located in the Cathedral-Mosque of Cordoba in Spain, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. At present, the Royal Chapel is under study for a detailed diagnostic analysis in order to evaluate the actual state of the chapel, pathologies, construction phases, previous restoration works, material analysis, etc. So in order to assist the evaluation, a documentation project with photogrammetric and laser scanner techniques (TLS) has been carried out. With this purpose, accurate cartographic and 3D products, by means of the integration of both image and laser based techniques, were needed to register all data collected during the diagnostic analysis.

Psychological adaptation of Moroccan and Ecuadorean immigrant adolescents in Spain

In adapting to the host society, immigrant adolescents may have problems negotiating the challenges of acculturation. The factors that promote and those that hamper psychological adaptation may not play the same role in all ethnic groups. Our study focuses on psychological adaptation of two main immigrant groups in Spain that differ in cultural distance to the host society and level of societal acceptance: adolescents of Moroccan and Ecuadorean origin. Our findings show, first, that mainstream cultural orientation is positively related to psychological adaptation, whereas perceived ethnic discrimination is negatively associated with adaptation. Second, the relationship between ethnic cultural orientation and psychological adaptation and between length of residence in Spain and adaptation is stronger for the Moroccan youth than for their Ecuadorean peers. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.

Self-Efficacy and Intrinsic Motivation Guiding Environmental Behavior

The authors examine whether self-efficacy relates to the environmentally responsible behavior of recycling and whether intrinsic motivation serves to mediate the relationship between self-efficacy and recycling. The authors measure those constructs, along with extrinsic motivation and the self- regulatory behaviors of satisfaction with and intentions toward recycling. Residents ( n = 1,501) of 55 localities in Cordoba Spain are interviewed at home. Results show that all variables are positively related to self-reported recycling, except that extrinsic motivation is negatively related to recycling. As the authors hypothesize, the relationship between self-efficacy and recycling diminishes when intrinsic motivation is added to the model, which suggests that intrinsic motivation accounts for some of the relationship between self-efficacy and recycling. With the use of structural equation modelling, all variables, except extrinsic motivation, provide a good model fit; explained variance in reported in-home recycling is also substantial (adjusted R2 = .45). The meditational analysis provides insight regarding the dynamics of motivation; the model suggests that self-efficacy relates to recycling directly, by giving rise to intrinsic motivation, which in turn relates to recycling.

Nitrate finds a place in the sun.

Nitrate, an ion more accustomed to the subterranean darkness of the soil, found its place in the sun for four days in July 2002 when it was the focus of the Fifth International Symposium on Nitrate Assimilation: Molecular and Genetic Aspects (NAMGA) at the University of Cordoba in Spain. The highly
