This contribution provides a hypothesis to account for semantic change undergone by adjectives designating the concept pleasant smelling in American English, which have come to increasingly denote artificial smells at the expense of natural ones. It is postulated that social and technological developments which occurred in American society during the First and Second Industrial Revolutions might well have steered the semantic fluctuations undergone by the concept. To test this hypothesis, methods used in recent research on the interplay between social and linguistic change are resorted to. In particular, a dictionarybased approach is first adopted, the results of which are then complemented by a more data-driven approach that investigates the conceptualization of a series of semantic domains that might reflect the aforementioned extralinguistic developments. Results offer support to the claim that the semantic change undergone by adjectives from the domain of smell has in all likelihood been influenced by the societal developments taking place in the United States in the period examined. This general move towards more artificiality can therefore not be coincidental, but must be the result of some underlying motivation steering change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Exclusion should be studied extensively as a phenomenon that disregards concrete reality, the histories of lives within that reality and which itself excludes the exclusion. In the same way, social intervention programs part with this extensive vision but actually act from specifics, generating a break from the exclusion which gives but a partial solution. In this present article the author analyses the concept of the Other as a possibility of opening new practices of analyzing and intervention in the different realities of exclusion; researching and achieving a quantitative and economic vision tied exclusively to inclusive answers on a concrete level. This concept results, especially when observing the difficulties underlying the current economic crisis in which politics and budgets forget the excluded, in proposing a new vision of a social and reconciliatory intervention, not only inclusive, in which it is important that some values revised at their root level such as responsibility and solidarity acquire a protagonist role.

Among the archaeological materials recovered from urban contexts, the glass is one of the most common, wich shows the growing consumption of this kind of articles since final XIXth century. This progress can be explained because of the massification in the production of the glass artifacts of foreign origin, besides of the incipient development of the local industry at that time. In this paper we apply a methodology of analysis for vitreous artifacts, as well as we offer some proposals for the interpretative approach to the cultural formation processes. This will be achieved from de study of recovered materials from two sites of the city of Buenos Aires: "Rodríguez Visillac" and "Corralón de Floresta", wich represent two differential contexts of disposal.

The article presents a reprint of the article "La cultura de la resistencia" by Marta Traba, published in the book "Literatura y praxis en América Latina" compiled by Fernando Alegría. The author discusses the historical struggle against cultural and political dependence in Latin America, focusing on the relationship between art, cultural expression and reactions to political dependence.

Introduction. Older people have the highest suicide rates in the world. In turn, they have the lowest rates of suicide attempts. Many studies have found greater health contact, especially with general practitioner, prior to suicidal behaviour in this age group. Less information is availbale about prior contact with other health services. Objective. The objective of the study is to know the characteristics of contact with all levels of health services, prior to a suicide attempt in people over 65 years of age in a defined population. Material and methods. Along the period January 2015 to December 2017, all persons over 65 years of age admitted by suicide attempt to emergency room in the health area of Santiago de Compostela were interviewed. The interview included a psychiatric evaluation and the collrection of relevant clinical and sociodemographic variables, in particular, data on prior contact with health services. Results. 80 suicide attempts were recorded, which represents an incidence of 35.3 / 100,000. The average age of our sample was 74.85 ± 7 years, the ratio between male: female was 2: 3. 61.3% had visited their general practitioner the month prior to the attempt, 72.5% had visited a health centre. On the other hand, 41.3% were not under the follow up of Mental Health services. Conclusions. The facts hat two out of three people over 65 years who commit suicide attempt in our area visit their general practitioner the previous month and 90% visit a health service along the previous three months, raise the question of wheter preventive measures of suicide could take place beyond the scope of Primary Care.
