Privileged Rebels: A Longitudinal Analysis of Distinctive Economic Traits of Catalonian Secessionism
During the last decade, the Catalonian secessionist challenge induced a chronic crisis within Spain’s politics that does not offer hints of a viable arrangement.

Casimir energy and the superconducting phase transition [PDF]
We study the influence of Casimir energy on the critical field of a superconducting film, and we show that by this means it might be possible to directly measure, for the first time, the variation of Casimir energy that accompanies the superconducting transition.

Canonical Noether symmetries and commutativity properties for gauge systems [PDF]
For a dynamical system defined by a singular Lagrangian, canonical Noether symmetries are characterized in terms of their commutation relations with the evolution operators of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms. Separate characterizations are given in phase space, in velocity space, and through an evolution operator that links both spaces.

Evolución de la enseñanza pública en Manresa durante la Segunda República y efectos de la represión franquista sobre el profesorado [PDF]
Las elecciones municipales del 14 de abril de 1931 en España conllevaron el paso de la monarquía a la república y un cambio profundo en las administraciones municipales. En Manresa (Cataluña) eso significó el ascenso al gobierno municipal de los partidos

The Asymmetrical Effect of Polarization on Support for Independence: The Case of Catalonia
The article analyses the consequences of elite polarization at the mass level in the centre-periphery dimension. We analyse the rapid rise in support for independence in Catalonia, focusing on the role of party competition around the centre-periphery ...

Fibre derivatives: some applications to singular lagrangians [PDF]
The fibre derivative of a bundle map is studied in detail. In the particular case of a real function, several constructions useful to study singular lagrangians are presented. Some applications are given; in particular, a geometric construction useful to solve the Euler-Lagrange equation of a singular lagrangian.

Education, language and identity [PDF]
The process of individual identity formation is still an enigma, as is the capacity of public bodies to intervene in it. In 1983, the Catalan education system became bilingual, and Catalan, along with Spanish, was taught in schools.

From interaction possibilities to real engagement: Paradoxes of media participation and the case of Banda Ampla, from the public Catalan television TV3 [PDF]
The concept of citizens’ participation in everyday life has strong roots in the ancient Greek culture, commonly accepted as the birth of the occidental civilization.

Singular lagrangians: some geometric structures along the Legendre map [PDF]
New geometric structures that relate the lagrangian and hamiltonian formalisms defined upon a singular lagrangian are presented. Several vector fields are constructed in velocity space that give new and precise answers to several topics like the projectability of a vector field to a hamiltonian vector field, the computation of the kernel of the ...
