Tetanus is an acute, serious and life-threatening infectious disease that affects the nervous system. It is caused by a neurotoxin called tetanospasmin produced by the bacterium clostridium  tetani. This infection is infrequent and is not contagious; but it still occasionally affects our population. The clinical case of a 65-year-old patient, who was admitted to the IESS General Hospital of Latacunga, province of Cotopaxi, due to a post-traumatic injury in the left leg and ten days later, she developed generalized  tetanus, is presented. The patient was unaware of her history of childhood  immuni zations and never received tetanus vaccine as an adult. Initially the patient exhibited with dysphagia and trismus and 24 hours later it evolved with an increase in generalized muscle tone and respiratory muscle compromise, so she was admitted to the intensive care unit  where she remained for six weeks. She was given antitetanus immunoglobulin, tetanus antitoxin, antibiotic therapy, muscle relaxants and supportive treatment. The superinfected wound required skin graft after which it achie ved full recovery. Regarding this case, a brief update of the literature about this unusual pathology was made, due to the systematic immunization included in the national immunization strategy, which has a fatality rate around 30%.

This article offers the results obtained by evaluating the transfer, with a questionnaire that has been validated ex professo, in 105 activities belonging to two types of training modalities: self-training (AF) and face-to-face instruction (CP). This research took place during the 2017/2018 academic year at the ‘Centro del Profesorado’ (CEP) in Malaga where the responses of 1242 teachers were analyzed. The results suggest that the transfer process is slightly higher in AF than in CP. Likewise, a series of factors have been identified, common to both modalities, that facilitate or hinder this process. Among the first, we highlight the need of training for the job, the help of colleagues and the motivation to transfer; among the latter, the lack of time and resources and the resistance of the students. Finally, in the light of the analyzes carried out, a series of improvement proposals aimed in order of increasing the efficiency of the transfer process have been outlined.

This contribution is a further partial anticipation of the critical edition of the mythological faules by Joan Roís de Corella(15th century) for Editorial Barcino, following a previous one also appeared in Magnificat CLM (3, 2016). It focuses onone of Corella's most mature and significant faules, as well as one of the most prestigious testimonies both of the presence of the myth of Hero and Leander in the Iberian 15th century, and of the peninsular reception of the Heroides. The paper has two parts. The first part, Introduction, summarizes the current situation of the studies related to the Istòria. Next, an analysis of the literary memory that supports the faula’s discursive construction is provided, aiming to demonstrate how it actualizes a game of mirroring, projections, refractions, intertextual references, and symbolic-allusive evocations that make res and characters the revival of a plurality of classical and medieval models. Such a revival becomes loaded of a new pathetic energy. Our analysis is based on certain thematic words and specific topical-rhetorical matrixes, reused either a lo profano or a lo divino, always within the idea of “dying together" and of love beyond death. It focuses on the communication strategies through which this ficció sentimental’s text (a point of convergence for thematic, metaphorical and figural weaving, anchored to the Tristanian, lyrical-amorous, ausiasmarquiana, cancioneril and Passionist imagery of planctus virginis) transforms memory and reuses it into an invention. The second part of the paper is the critical edition of the text. Anticipated by the Criteria of Edition, it contains the Text, with footnotes concerning the constitutio textus, and the Critical Apparatus.

The present article attempts to establish as accurately as possible the chronological trajectory of the unique codex ofthe Cancionero de Baena (PN1 in the Dutton nomenclature). It begins with a detailed examination of the codicologicalaspects of the manuscript, which serve to date its origin to around 1465. This origin, combined with the historical data,supports a conjecture that the manuscript probably belonged to Gonzalo de Beteta, an official of both Enrique IV andthe Catholic Kings. It would have passed from him to his grandson, Jorge de Beteta y Cárdenas, who gave it to the RealBiblioteca de El Escorial in 1576. The article then follows the vicissitudes of the manuscript from its disappearance fromthe Escorial at the beginning of the 19th c. until its sale in London in 1824 and its acquisition in 1836 by the Bibliothèque nationale de France, its current home. In passing, the article refutes the thesis that the manuscript would have belonged to the library of Isabel I in 1503 and would have been left by her, along with other books, to the Capilla Real of the cathedral of Granada, whence it would have passed to El Escorial.

Following in the footsteps of Ian Macpherson, I offer an interpretation of an anonymous invención found in the Cancionero general (11CG-517) and the British Library Cancionero (LB1-251). I maintain that the image displayed by the jouster was inspired by the iconography of the virgin-martyr Saint Margaret of Antioch, and I propose a theory about the identity of the lady addressed and, with less certainty, about the identity of the jouster and the occasion when the invención was displayed, using Pinar’s Juego trobado as a tool of research and invoking a passage on the sinfulness of the fashion among ladies and damsels for wearing hooped petticoats in a treatise by Hernando de Talavera.

The study of archival collections from medieval religious orders has made it possible to locate a second fragment of amedieval Spanish Bible, from the Hieronymian monastery of Santa María de la Sisla (Toledo). It is a bifolia from the bookof Psalms that belonged to the same codex as the recently identified Ezekiel fragment (=S1). In this article the finding isreported, the liber tradens is described, specifying its meaning and value to ensure monastery rents, the fragments that ittransmits are given: part of a bifolia in parchment of the s. XIII and biblical bifolia that serves as cover, focusing especiallyon the description of this second fragment (= S2). Next, the relationships between S2 and Esc. I-I-3 are examined, afiliation hypothesis and, finally, a palaeographic transcription of the text are offered.

The sirventes of the troubadour era has been broadly studied, but there are not overall explanations concerning theevolution of the sirventes genre in the Catalan-speaking lands of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. This paperpropounds a catalogue of sirventesos concerning its historical development, the troubadour models, rhetorical andgrammatical treatises, and genre assignment in rubrics. Our catalogue contains thirty-one Catalan sirventesos, includingtwenty-eight extant items and three items lost. In some cases the literary motifs of the sirventes cross boundaries in aprocess of poetic hybridization with other moral genres which borrow out themes, images and rhetorical strategies fromthe sirventes. In order to reflect this complexity, our catalogue also includes an annex with twenty-seven texts that are notproperly sirventesos but, due to their idiosyncrasy, can be placed in the periphery of the genre.

This paper analyses from a material and textual viewpoint the four preserved manuscripts containing the Doctrina moral,a work written in the first half of the 15th century by a man from Majorca from the Pacs family. The study of these copiesgives us new information about some of the most controversial aspects of this work, such as authorship and date. The twowitnesses owned by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France are related to the Italian city of Naples, while the manuscript ofthe Biblioteca de Catalunya could have been in possession of a branch of the Pacs family, the Conilleres. The codex of theArxiu de la Corona d’Aragó, edited by Bofarull (1857), presents a more innovative copy, with many different lessons fromthe other three witnesses.

El objetivo fue determinar la relación que existe entre la inversión pública en infraestructura de riego y el crecimiento económico del producto agrario en el Perú, en el periodo 2001-2015. El tipo de investigación es no experimental longitudinal, mediante un análisis, descriptivo, correlacional y explicativo. Se estudió una muestra total del país con datos del periodo 2001 – 2015, de 105 observaciones en el modelo, producto de las 7 variables y los 15 años de serie histórica. El resultado obtenido de la hipótesis general de la relación entre la inversión pública en infraestructura de riego y el crecimiento económico del producto agrario en el Perú, en el periodo 2001-2015, fue positiva y significativa, con una elasticidad inversión/producto de 0.21. Es decir, ante el incremento del 1% en la inversión pública de infraestructura en riego, el PBI agrario aumenta en 0.21%, con un alto coeficiente de determinación (R2= 0.907584). Este resultado, nos estaría ratificando que la inversión en riego tiene un efecto directo e importante en el crecimiento del sector agrario, como la encontrada en Australia, por (Ali & Pernia, 2003), en su estudio del Banco Asiático de Desarrollo, que obtienen una elasticidad de 0.41. Se puede concluir que, la inversión pública en infraestructura de riego es fundamental para el crecimiento económico del sector agrario, en especial de las agroexportaciones no tradicionales y del crédito agrario.  DOI:https://doi.org/10.24265/iggp.2018.v5n1.02 Palabras clave: Inversión pública, riego, crecimiento económico.
