Book excerpt: En aquest informe es recopilen i s’avaluen els efectes directes i indirectes que el canvis climàtics tenen sobre la salut humana amb una mirada final sobre el territori de casa nostra. Primer es fa un breu repàs de la meteorologia i la climatologia, i les tendències que s’hi observen. Després s’hi detallen els efectes que aquests aspectes tenen sobre la salut humana, avui i en el futur, segons les tendències previstes. Els efectes poden ser directes o indirectes via alteracions de l’ecosistema o de l’estructura socioeconòmica. S’ha recopilat informació sobre aquests temes a partir d’un cicle de conferències sobre canvi climàtic i salut organitzat entre el 2018 i el 2019 per la Secció de Ciències Biològiques de l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans, de la literatura científica i d’informes d’organismes diversos.

Download or read book Multilingualism in European Language Education written by Cecilio Lapresta-Rey and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how different European education systems manage multilingualism. Each chapter focuses on one of ten diverse settings (Andorra, Asturias, the Basque Country, Catalonia, England, Finland, France, Latvia, the Netherlands and Romania) and considers how its education system is influenced by historical, sociolinguistic and legislative and political processes and how languages are handled within the system, stressing the challenges and opportunities in each area of study. The chapters provide the reader with insights around three key aspects: the management of the guarantee of the rights of regional language minorities; the incorporation of the language background inherited by immigrants living in Europe (whether they are European citizens or not) and the need to promote the learning of international languages. Individually, the chapters offer deep insights into a specific education system and, together, the studies allow for a comparison and holistic understanding of multilingualism in European education.
Download or read book Translation Studies and Ecology written by Maria Dasca and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative collection explores the points of contact between translation practice and ecological culture by focusing on the relationship between ecology and translation. The volume’s point of departure is the idea that translations, like all human activities, have a relational basis. Since they depend on places and communities to which they are addressed as well as on the cultural environment which made them possible, they should be understood as situated cultural practices, governed by a particular political ecology. Through the analysis of phenomena that relate translation and ecological culture (such as the development of ecofeminism; the translation of texts on nature; translation in postcolonial contexts; the role of dialect and minority languages in literary translation and institutional language policies and the translation of texts on migration) the book offers interpretive models that contribute to the development of eco-translation. Th volume showcases a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to an emerging disciplinary field which has gained prominence at the start of the 21st century, and places special emphasis on the perspective of gender and linguistic diversity across a wide range of languages. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in translation studies, linguistics, communication, cultural studies, and environmental humanities.
