Montefrío is a paradigmatic case because, since the conquest of the Nasrid village by the Catholic Monarchs in 1486, it was named one of the seven towns that will supply cereal, mainly wheat to the capital Granada. From those times the cereal was extended by the ample municipal area of 254 km2, accompanied by the cattle ranch in the zones of dehesa of the municipality. It was in the 18th century that the first oil mills, documented in the Ensenada Cadastre, appeared. During the nineteenth century there was an increase in the extension of olive groves in Montefrío, as a result of the various agrarian reformations that took place at this time. This fact will provoke a greater number of peasants that will accede to the fields, and therefore, a greater extension of hectare analyse the evolution of the oil mills and their owners from the 18th cents dedicated to the culture of the olive tree, consequently, an increase of the number of oil mills and factories of oil by all the municipal term. Next, we analyse the evolution of the oil mills and their owners from the 18th century to the middle of the 20th century. For this we will use several sources of information: the Cadastre of Ensenada, Madoz, wealth and neighbourhood registers conserved in the Town Hall of Montefrío, the oral information and that of the property register. For it we join the information coming from the remains and conserved mills of this type of industry located in the municipe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this work is determining the habits of medication in dogs by the owners before the veterinary consultation, and to classify the drugs used by pharmacological group. A study of drug use was performed by means of a questionnaire sent to 196 owners in six veterinary clinics. In 95% of owners, medication habits were evidenced before medical consultation. In 6.4% of cases, administered medication to pets did not match with the final diagnosis issued by the veterinarian, since the pathology derived from another system. 63% opted for using mouth for giving medication. The two pharmaceutical forms most used were liquid (55.91%) and solid (32.8%). The most used pharmacological group was the non-steroidal analgesics (24.73%). According to the drug-dose-frequency-pathology correlation, 98% of owners did not administer medications properly. The findings are: the owners medicate their pets without veterinary doctor recommendation, most of them do it with products which are not approved for being used in dogs, and doses used are incorrect and do not take into account the frequency of administration.

Based on the case of the Nahuas of Pahuatlán, a settlement located in the western part of the Sierra Norte -Northern Mountain Range- of Puebla, evidence shows that corn, above and beyond being the basis of subsistence, is one of the main reasons that have enabled us to comprehend these people's way of thinking and interacting with the world. Through ritual activity and narrative, one can see an economy that, unlike the capitalist economy, in which corn is a commodity among many others, the Nahua economy forms one of the most complex components of their cosmology in relation to the Lords, or itekome in Nahuatl, entities associated with a power and a specific domain, usually related to the preservation of things such as animals, water or corn.

Toxoplasma gondii prevalence is sometimes associated to the low perception of infection risk of this protozoan in human population, which could also influence negatively in pets. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to determine the level of knowledge about toxoplasmosis in owners and its association with seroprevalence in Felis catus in Havana. Three hundred owners of sampled cats were interviewed for obtaining answers to 10 questions related to: etiology, transmission, system of organs affected, diagnosis and control. Frequency analysis was carried out to determine the level of general knowledge and per subjects (for the first, 10 points per each correct answer were assigned, 100 in total). Significant association was considered between the level of knowledge and seroprevalence (70%), pW0.05 according to the Chi-square test. A five-level scale was established: 90-100 (very abundant knowledge), 70-89 (abundant knowledge), 50-69 (moderate knowledge), 30- 49 (scarce knowledge) and <30 (very scarce knowledge). One hundred twenty one cats were positive (90%) in owners with very scarce knowledge and 52 seropositive (87%) to owners who had scarce knowledge (pW0.05). Also, ignorance in the analysis per subjects was high; diagnosis had the biggest value with 99% (297), unlike the system affected in the owner with 24% (72), the rest of the subjects indicated between 30-53% of ignorance. In conclusion, the high seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in Felis catus in Havana is associated to the low level of knowledge in their owners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the impact of the Mexican Revolution of 1910 on female Spanish nationals living in the country. The authors examine the extensive instances of theft, arson, and economic damage as a result of revolutionaries' actions directed toward this group. They also comment on the attempts made by these women to garner some economic compensation from the Mexican government. The social conditions and roles of women living in Mexico during and immediately following the revolution are also explored.
