Both Europeans and Yacuruna arrived in Peru via water, are comparatively hairier than indigenous Peruvians. Both Europeans and Yacuruna also have harmed the Incans.
I am carrying out a research project in which I am conducting focus groups with older men and women to study the musical stereotypes learned in traditional Spanish oral music groups, but I am faced with generational and gender barriers. How do you think the dynamics of this type of tool could be approached in a different way? For example, launching them and having them start talking, or approaching them by thematic blocks and with structured questions?

I'ma writing to you in relation to the following publication:
Gottlieb, Henrik (2022) La semiótica y la traducción, Hermēneus. Revista de Traducción e Interpretación, 24 (2022), pp. 643-675. doi:10.24197/her.24.2022.643-675 [traducido del inglés por Laura Gata González y Anna Kuźnik]
It is a translation from English into Spanish by my student, Laura Gata González, and myself.
The first surname of Laura Gata González, i.e. "Gata" had been badly introduced by the editor of the scientific review, Hermeneus (afterwards it was corrected though), to the doi system and Crossref, actually as "Gato" (and not "Gata"). In consequence, it went to researchgate with its wrong spelling "Gato". How can I correct this?
Please, give me some indications on this.
I have already corrected the wrong spelling of my own surname, but I am not able to do the same with other authors' data.
With my best wishes,
Anna

Good afternoon, sir. Is it possible to write a thesis in the first person? I would like to know if the APA guidelines allow it, as sometimes I have read some theses in English written in the first person and other theses (in Spanish) written in the third person.
Thank you very much in advance for your kind attention!
I am looking for the most up-to-date book possible for an Argentinean University.
In the item added recently to my researchgate profile, in which I figure as co-translator of a Henrik Gottlieb's paper:

I have researched on multiple pages and the information tends to vary, so I am looking for the most accurate one.
The phrase 'mulata toribia' refers specifically to Encarnación Ezcurra de Rosas, the wife of the notorious dictator, Juan Manuel de Rosas. It was used as an insult by her enemies, the Unitarians. 'Mulata' refers to her dark hair and skin but 'toribia' is not as easy to define. I have looked at some explanations suggesting that it means 'controlling', 'domineering', 'spiritually aware', 'intelligent' and 'determined', but I am unsure as to whether any of these translations are accurate. Any further advice on this matter would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Edelberto Torres Rivas was tha author. Andrée Maihlot and Claude Morin translated the article from Spanish into French.
Can anyone tell me which Spanish design guideline could give me the Spain values (and a typical cross-section) for the geometrics of a rural road with design speed of 50 km/hr?

Doing research in multilingual contexts can be challenging, as many of you know. I do social science research in Spain, and occasionally come across terms that lack a direct translation between Spanish & English.
A real head-breaker is 'grassroot (initiatives)'. Does anyone have a good translation for this? I'm looking for a term that makes sense for the general public (as I work together with local communities), and is ideally also used in Spanish scientific literature.
Thanks!

Hi colleagues!
I am a PhD student in linguistics and am looking for volunteer participants who would like to take part in my study of cross-cultural pragmatics.
I am looking for native speakers of English, Spanish and Italian and for trilingual speakers of both English and Italian and Spanish.
To collaborate with my project all you need to do is complete an online questionnaire. Please, contact me by Researchgate.
Thank you for your help and I am available for any question or curiosity you may have about the project.
Thank you very much indeed.
University institutions create a scenario where teaching is not committed with social transformation, but mainly with an aspiration towards elitism and the students´ contentment (students understood as “clientele”); research, on its turn, no longer seeks to meet the demands of our society (Sparkes, 2013). On the contrary, it follows the priorities set by foreign multinational companies (Berbegal-Mirabent & Ribeiro-Soriano, 2015). The quality and scientific value of the work is therefore defined by those companies that then lead an “impact culture” difficult to escape from.
Hence the challenges and difficulties that the Spanish university runs into whilst meeting the dynamic and interests of the markets (Berbegal-Mirabent & Ribeiro-Soriano, 2015), especially after its adaptation to the European Higher Education Area.
So, the question could be: Quality assessment systems for university teaching staff: a tool for improving the quality of the system, or an instrument for precariousness?
Hi, I'm looking for the normative data of the semantic task "clothes" ("ropa") from the Spanish Verbal Fluency Assessment in a sample of young adults (20-49 years old). If someone has it, please, tell me, it would be extremely helpful for my current research. Thank you so much.
It doesn't matter if it is in English or Spanish.
In some publications you refer Deivid Chica (with Barranco) but the true first name is Maria Dolores Chica , in spanish Ma. Dolores Chica.

When trying to identify language proficiency for cognitive test administration (Spanish vs English) in a clinical trial, what is the best way to ask a participant (via survey) which language they want to be tested in?
A colleague suggested we use the standard way asked by the Dpt of Education in the followig order:
(a) "What language did you first learn?" and then
(b) "What language is spoken most frequently in your home?"
If responses do not coincide then they ask
(c) "If you were to take a test, in what language would you want to take it in to give your best performance?"
Being a native Spanish speaker, I believe we should first ask option c to reach our goal (cognitive testing). It seems to me that asking a and b first is not a personal choice. For example, many of us were raised in Spanish and speak Spanish at home with our parents, but our education was in English and we live immersed in English so we may respond better in English on a cognitive test than if given in Spanish.
What are your thoughts? Is there a scientifically proven approach to this? Thank you for your responses.
One of the most common methods is to submit the manuscript to an editorial (i.e. Springer, Elsevier, etc.). However, what if you want to publish a thesis in a book/chapter book or if you have a large study with an interesting/different approach? What would be the best alternative?
I would appreciate it if someone could give some options (in English or Spanish), indexes, (perhaps price), and an estimate of waiting times.
For a compilation survey we are conducting at the Spanish Geological Survey, we would be extremely thankful to anybody sharing published or public information (e.g., scientific paper, technical note, open-file report, database, etc.) addressing the presence, nature, concentration and/or chemical properties of dissolved organic compounds (including LMW and HMW) present in acidic systems of any kind (geothermal, volcanic, acid rock/mine drainage, lab cultures, etc.). Very much appreciated!
Good afternoon, I am currently researching body image in women with breast cancer and I would like to ask where can I get the Hopwood body image scale validated in Mexico or in Spanish? Thank you very much for your support
Lahore Journal of Policy Studies
Special Issue on Covid-19
Call for Papers
Dear Sir/Madam
We intend to take out the next issue of the Lahore Journal of Policy Studies on Covid-19. The novel Coronavirus has come as a major calamity out of the blue leading to a sudden economic halt across the world. There had been other pandemics earlier but the response was never so severe, widespread and universal. The Third World acted largely on the basis of scientific predictions and policies originating in Developed Countries without any policy based on locally grounded scientific/medical knowledge. With the high death rate reported from Italy and Spain followed in a couple of months by even higher deaths in US and UK the world was terrorized. The fast pace of statistics did not allow for a cool headed debate and reflection nor did people have any facts on which to develop some degree of understanding and make an opinion. Except for a few critical special publications, the media has been more interested in statistical reporting than any critical analyses. With the passage of time many riddles and paradoxes, have come to the fore and call for reflection. There is need to explore these riddles and paradoxes because many revelations are likely to come out of these. For instance,
· Why have there been far more deaths in the prosperous and highly developed countries of US and Britain than in the countries of the Third World
· Why have there been far more deaths in the urban areas which have more awareness and healthcare facilities compared to the backward rural areas
· Is the pandemic primarily a medical issue to be dealt with by doctors or a socioecological issue to be dealt with through political debate and policy
· What has been our experience of pandemics in the past. In India whether it was bubonic plague, Spanish flu or smallpox, in each instance the epidemic continued for many decades. What communities and what geographies were affected. What conditions brought the disease under control
· What was the role of vaccines in ending the pandemics
· What was the relation of poverty to the number of deaths and why? Was it because of hygiene or was it because of food and healthcare
· What is the relationship between our economic goals of productivity and development and the onset of disease
· Industrial agriculture including deforestation, monocultures, genetic selection and animal feed lots have greatly increased production. What is its relationship with the pandemics
· The growth of giant cities in the Third World has created new environment for the spread of disease. Why has this aspect not been highlighted in the coronavirus debate
· What is the role of globalization of commodity production, services and people in the generation and spread of pandemics
· Where has this virus come from? Has the frequency of deadly viruses like Ebola, MERS, SARS, Corona, H1N1 increased in the past few decades? Is there any common process of generation between them
· How has the pandemic changed the ecologies of work such as education, commerce, health, entertainment and hospitality
· The impact of the lockdowns on gender inequality
You may choose a topic or write generally about the impact and origin of the disease.

Lahore Journal of Policy Studies
Note: The Lahore Journal of Policy Studies is a refereed journal. The journal has a broad scope, covering national, regional and international political, economic, social and cultural issues of immediate relevance to public policy. It aims to be a forum for significant new ideas and seeks to challenge thinkers and intellectuals to policy debate. It is neither a journalistic magazine nor an overly technical one. Rather, it is a scholarly journal containing provocative, thoughtful, but well-researched writings with an educated and discerning readership in mind. It seeks originality and rigour of argument. The selection of papers will be based on topicality, originality, clarity, the extent to which they advance knowledge, understanding and application and their likely contribution towards inspiring further development, research and debate.
What is intended with this question is not only to answer it with a simple argument, but everything to the contrary. Contribute everything we know about immigration, positive and negative aspects that influence our society.
Spain is a country where immigration in recent decades has increased considerably. This is due to the territorial position of the country. It is not only due to this space, but also to the standard of living that we have in Spain compared to other countries.
I have to say that many Spanish citizens have found themselves in the situation of having to emigrate to other countries in search of economic and labor survival, so we can say that immigration to other countries is potentiated in the labor aspect.
Spain has a large flow of immigrants from Africa due to its proximity. Most arrive in small boats. How can we improve their situation when they arrive to the Spanish coasts?
I have found x2 application that fits the above category:
1] Very old 16-bit application but you can run it using opensource emulator otvdm (on github)
2] A modern application by university de Valencia. Allievi you can download requires free registration
Now the problem is that the 1st application I cannot get in touch with its author because I have no sample file & its help manual is limited
Second application has video tutorials but all in Spanish! Plus it also doesn't come with any sample files. Fortunately the application interface & PDF manual is in English
So if someone can help me with sample files for each application I be grateful.

Hello! I am looking for Spanish, English and Chinese native speakers to participate in my final survey for my PhD thesis.
This is the direct link.
Thank you for your participation.
Is it possible for Covid19 to disappear just like the Spanish flu which lasted for 2 years (1918 - 1920) and SARS 2003 which lasted for a fee months?
I'm looking for ways to automate the transcription of interview data.
Overall, the Spanish Flu is likely to be deadliest epidemic in the history of world. Estimates are that 1-3% of the world’s population died from the Spanish Flu. So many younger people died in the US in 1918 that the average US life expectancy was reduced by 10 years.
It is not clear why the second wave of the virus was so much more lethal than the first. There is some speculation that there may have been a mild and deadly version of the virus, but this has not been definitively confirmed. In the ‘developed’ world, the mortality rate was generally believed to be about 2%. In other counties, the mortality rate has been estimated to have caused up 14% of a population (Fiji islands) to die.
Eventually, toward the end of 1918 the number of deaths caused by the virus began to decrease. This is believed to be because there were so many people that had already been infected and/or the virus may have mutated again to be less invasive to the lungs. It eventually ‘devolved’ to be part of the seasonal flu. There was never a vaccine developed for the Spanish Flu.
I've obtained the English-language versions and permissions to use, but now looking for Spanish translations. I've had trouble reaching out to the authors of the validation studies. Anyone using these?
Hello!
I am looking for a SHORT questionnaire/scale to measure Quality of Life in chronic patients (e.g. fibromyalgia, or multiple sclerosis). Ideally, validated for English and Spanish speakers. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much :)
Can you recommend works in Spanish or English on botanical gardens as educational and learning contexts?
Thanks very much!!
I need to test the distribution of a very rare pattern in both languages, so input from native speakers is crucial. If you speak either language and you would be willing to spend 5 minutes on answering a very simple questionnaire, please comment here and I will contact you.
Thanks in advance and best,
Francesco
I would love to hear what people have come across in relation to language accessibility in publications. Ideally the journal focuses on Entomology and/or biodiversity, but I am also just curious on a broader scale if language friendly journals exist.
Can we make a comparison between spanish flu as it kills 1 millon in the first invasion and kills 50 millons in the second attack, so Dose COVID-19 act same behaviour as spanish flu?
Would you have any suggestions for bibliography on the grammaticography of Spanish? I have investigated how the Spanish standardization process took place through grammars.
I am looking for information about the distribution of Spanish paper in the Pacific in the 18th and 19th centuries. Did it arrive via Goa and/or via South and central America? In what quantities, and to what destinations?
Hi! I am interested in your work on the replaceability argument, but my French is very limited. Do you have any of your papers in English? (or Spanish) Thanks!
Why English in particular? Why not French, German, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, or any other language?
For an upcoming research project I will have audio files of interviews conducted in Spanish. I am looking for a company that can transcribe and translate these interviews - resulting in English transcripts. What companies have others used for this? Confidentiality and relatively low cost are important.
Hi all,
I am conducting oral history interviews in Spanish. From the interviews I have conducted so far, I have found transcribing them to be an impossibly slow process. Even with transcription software, it is taking me about an hour to transcribe 3 minutes of audio, not helped at all by the fact that Spanish is not my first language.
Can anybody recommend any audio transcription SOFTWARE which could help to transcribe my already-recorded audio files (interviews)? I say software because I have a budget to ask for software but not for paying somebody to transcribe. A few people have recommended Dragon (by Nuance).
Any help greatly appreciated.

A Spanish study has cast doubt on the feasibility of herd immunity as a way of tackling the coronavirus pandemic.
The study of more than 60,000 people estimates that around just 5% of the Spanish population has developed antibodies, the medical journal the Lancet reported.
Herd immunity is achieved when enough people become infected with a virus to stop its spread.
Around 70% to 90% of a population needs to be immune to protect the uninfected.
The prevalence of Covid-19 antibodies was below 3% in coastal regions, but higher in areas of Spain with widespread outbreaks, the report said.
"Despite the high impact of Covid-19 in Spain, prevalence estimates remain low and are clearly insufficient to provide herd immunity," the study's authors said in the report.
"In this situation, social distance measures and efforts to identify and isolate new cases and their contacts are imperative for future epidemic control."
The study is thought to be the largest of its kind on the coronavirus in Europe.

I am interested in measuring expressive and receptive vocabulary in English and Spanish in Spanish-English and English-Spanish bilinguals. I am considering the PPVT/EVT measures for English. I have also considered the ROWPVT-4 and EOWPVT-4 Spanish Bilingual kits, but I would not want to administer the same materials twice (once in English and once in Spanish). Suggestions of alternative options would be appreciated.
I like The Inventory of Attitude toward Seeking Mental Health Services (IASMHS) measure but cannot find a translated version in spanish.

Estimados colegas,
Me encuentro colaborando en un proyecto de Colombia y México para evaluar el estigma y discriminación que se ha generado hacia el COVID-19. Esto para contribuir de manera apremiante en la identificación del rol que el estigma y la discriminación podrían tener en el control de la epidemia por COVID-19 en Colombia y México, y por supuesto dar luces a países con contextos culturales similares. Por lo que agradezco infinitamente si pueden diligenciar y compartir la siguiente encuesta con sus familiares, amigos, colegas y/o conocidos en Colombia y México. El diligenciamiento es de aproximadamente 5 minutos, y cada participación es de gran valor para contribuir con este valioso estudio.

I am a Ph.D. graduate student at Alliant International University. I am in the process of gathering data for my research study. I am attempting to understand the obstacles parents face when seeking services for their children diagnosed with autism. I am attempting to figure out which barriers parents currently face by Mexican-American and Caucasian families. The most prominent barriers are geographic location, immigration status, which has been linked to language, limited knowledge/awareness of ASD, anti-immigration laws and cultural beliefs. Ideally, I would like to publish my results to encourage agencies to modify the services offered to families, specifically, ethnic minorities.
I am reaching out to you to help advertise my study to encourage parents to participate. The Alliant International University Institutional Review Board has approved my study. I am looking for Mexican American and Caucasian parents who have a child diagnosed within the Autism Spectrum between the ages of 3 and 17, who live in California. Parents, who are would like to participate, they will complete a 15-minute questionnaire online and enter for a chance to win one of three prizes, $50 Fandango card, $50 Amazon card or $50 Visa card. By participating in my research study, they will help us understand parent’s experience-seeking resources for their children. I have flyers and a brief explanation, in Spanish and English, of the study. I ask you to distribute them and courage parents to participate in my study. Here is the link ofr the English questionnaire https://alliant.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0rHNKaZGhNhCXAx. Spanish questionnaire , https://alliant.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_etD6QQMW1CvGPVr.

The coronavirus crisis is affecting all Spanish companies. The ignorance about the disease is having great impact on the country’s economy and most of the activities. Economic losses may be greater than those already estimated, but the crisis has just started and we still don't know how long it can last.
In the Romance languages, many syntactic contexts, especially in subordinate clauses, require a subjunctive mood on the verb, not leaving any romm for mood choice. In other contexts, however, there is a choice between subjunctive and indicative depending on the semantics a speaker may want to convey. I'm interested in research on the statistics of these two types. What is the percentage of syntactically triggered vs. modal subjunctive use in Spanish (or other Romance languages)? What are the percentages in the written language as opposed to spontaneous spoken discourse? Is there published research on this? On what criteria could such a statistical analysis be based, given that there is an important intermediate group of cases, where many speakers might already consider the subjunctive obligatory while others might still see some room for variation?
R0 represents the average number of susceptible individuals an infected person will transmit the disease to.
R0 = Attack rate x Contacts
Attack rate (the percent chance that a contact will get the disease).
If the R0 is < 1, a disease outbreak should wane over time, and if its >1, cases would continue to increase.
Seasonal flu has an R0 of around 1.5. The Spanish influenza of 1918-1919 had an R0 of 2. Chickenpox, a fairly infectious condition, has an R0 of around 5.
To predict the severity of a new disease, we need to look at both the basic reproduction number and the case fatality rate.
The case fatality rate of Spanish flu was reported to be as high as 10%.
Before treatment was available, HIV, with an R0 of around 6 globally, had a near 100% mortality rate. Smallpox, with an R0 of 5, had a mortality rate of 30% in the unvaccinated. Bubonic plague: R0 of 3, untreated mortality rate of 60%.
COVID-19
COVID-19 has R0 of 2.5 and a reported case fatality rate of around 2%.
Case fatality rate is defined as the number of fatal cases divided by the number of total cases.
In COVID-19, fatal cases have probably been assessed accurately; people who are that sick generally end up in hospitals. However, the number of total cases are probably being missed by huge margins, perhaps even an order of magnitude, as asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic people may not be getting tested. If this is the case, the case fatality rate would decrease as screening improves.
How to change the R0 number
One can do that by addressing the two elements inside it: the number of contacts an infected person has and the attack rate of the disease.
Limiting potential contacts can be achieved by means of isolation and quarantine.
Attack rate can reduce with the use of masks, handwashing, and vaccination, as and when a vaccine becomes available.
This depends on identifying cases, and it is still unclear as to whether transmission can occur in the asymptomatic period. The latent period is 5 days.
Hey,
I have a question concerning the methodology of my research. In my research I intend to discover if flipped classroom can improve the grammatical competence in Spanish. I fail to find a suitable design. Does someone have any suggestions?
Does anyone know of a reliable, validated instrument to measure self-efficacy for speaking an L2, and/or for the sources of self-efficacy for speaking an L2? I'm particularly interested in Spanish.
Is it recommendable to implement a questionnaire written in another language (for example English) if the participants of the sample have enough level to understand it (let us suppose a minimum of an FCE - CEFR B2 level) although it is not their mother tongue (for example Spanish)?
A very tempting Spanish research, aiming a new lecture of old sources, that still have so much to say, to set up a new references system.
BUT
Unfortunately, by trying to get on their Coursera curse, https://www.coursera.org/learn/burgos-deciphering-secrets-medieval-spain/home/welcome I could see, from the very beginning, how information was oriented the same old Catholic way, but with modern informatics tools and on-line teachings: presenting a map where Castilla was suppose to occupy half Spain ( when all Christian kingdoms together just represent 10% of Spain), with no date indication. I just renounced to that course. Too bad.
The last release of LiDAR data in Spain was a nice surprise for researchers, because they point clouds that were acquired under the National Plan had also NIR information. As a consequence, each point in the cloud has not only x, y and coordinates but also an specific value of NIR. I would like to know if your countries are doing the same, or at least are planning to incorporate the multispectral data capture at the same time the LiDAR one.
Thanks in advance for your help.
what are the reasons people prefer to learn English as foerign language? Why not Spanish or French for example?
I ´m finishing an article on case study as a convenient method to find the main characteriscs of a public policy. Most literature on methodology I´m using is not in Spanish and when analysing case studies in Mexico I find that most of them have been conducted outside a methodological framework. I need to find examples of case studies that followed a rigurous methogology recommended for case studies. I would be grateful if you could share articles titles and full texts with me. Thanks.
Now that election results in Spain are known, do you think there will be a change in Spanish policy, and what will be the effect on European countries and the rest of the world.
So far I have only found Wilson's Fantasy Questionnaire, and Child Identification Scale. Need SONAR, Bumby, etc. Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone! We are currently studying the learnability of the english resultative construction by spanish native speakers who learnt english as a foreign language. The resultative construction is of particular interest since it has no equivalent counterpart in spanish, unlike the depictive construction, which is present in both languages. Therefore, we aim to compare the speaker's comprehension of resultative and depictive english sentences, and to analyze the influence of variables such as english proficiency, age of exposure, frequency of use, immersion experience etc.
We have already conducted a pilot study where we assessed sentence comprehension by asking the subjects to choose the sentence that best described the item's meaning, in a multiple choice format. However, we were wondering what would be the best psycholinguistic experimental task to evaluate sentence comprehension. We noted that acceptability judgements of grammatical and ungrammatical sentences are widely used to study syntax structures. Therefore, I wanted to ask psycholinguistic researchers what would be best experimental paradigm to study the comprehension of these structures. In addition: would it be more appropiate to administer different tasks and then compare the results? And what would be the best tasks in that case?
Thank you so much for your kind attention!
I am wondering whether the WISC-V - Spanish version has used Latin American children to create their scoring tables or just Spanish children. In other words, are the two sample close enough to be able to use the test in Latin American countries? I would appreciate any information on this.
Could anybody advise me about how I should simulate using Digsilent the frequency-active power control of a photovoltaic plant in order to carry out a grid study in the spanish grid?
Dear members of the project,
I'm really interested in joining your project.
I'm an ESL teacher at the Education School at the Catholic University of Valencia and my PhD was on Metadiscourse features in English essays written by Spanish Speakers.
I'm currently working in a national metadiscourse project on the analysis of metadiscourse features in reasearch articles together with Marisa Carrió from the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
My main research interest is analysing metadiscourse interactional features using learners' corpora. I'm be deeply interested in carrying out a contrastive cross-cultural study on the use of interactional metadiscourse features in ESL writers with different L1.
I'm looking forward to receiving your feedabck on my proposal.
Kind regards,
Chiara Tasso
Roman system caused Murex shell to disappear, that way gently wiping out Phoenician's main industry, whose main clients were Romans. It was all about red, that precious vibrant red that marked Roman senators, and all the ones that wanted to look like them. Red as the symbol of power. Now have a look to that very interesting Spanish page, where it's explained that for a single gram of colorant, you needed at least 10.000 live shells. They say the Purple industry stopped in 1495. It's untrue. Murex colorant, due to over exploitation of the shell, had turned too expansive by 6th century. Just by the time Arabs developed a new bright red colorant, surrounded with secrets and alchemy and different names: al-kermes or Kermes or Carmin or Vermillon or Cochineal, the insect. It gave the bright red silks of Granada, the world was dreaming about, like a magical reminding of the Roman's power. That much that after Catholic Conquest of Spain, it was the arabic kermes chosen as the Spanish royal color (that's why Joaquin Cortez didn't brought to Spain the cochineal insect from Mexico).

Which approach is the more recommended approach in calculate EQ5D values for patients in different country in a normal study (no cost analysis or comparative study between countries)? I want to evaluate treatment effect on PRO of 2 treatments, which occurs in all participating centers.
A) Transform EQ5D response via one general value set (e.g. US population OR European population)
B) Transform each EQ5D response via country-specific value set (e.g. Spanish and Portuguese patients will use the Spanish value set, Japanese patients use the Japanese value set, German patients use the German value set and African patients use the Zimbabwe value set and so on...)
Thanks in advance
That toxic micro-alga is alarmingly developing in Western Mediterraneo and had been spotted in the bay of Napoles and the bay of Palma and erratic behaviour had been observed in merus fishes in Kabylia. This report from FAO in spanish evoques supercontainers boats washing their ballasts on high sea, that way bringing in the toxic micro-alga. There's only 3 entrances to Mediterraneo sea. How comes they are not severely monitored, f.e. forcing supercontainers to integrate a chip within their ballasts, controlling level changes? http://www.fao.org/3/a-y5486s.pdf
