It presents studies that cover a wide range of topics, from phonetics to learning strategies. It will be of interest to students and researchers working in SLA research, language planning and language teaching.
Miradas y voces
Con la presencia de diversas lenguas de uso, la presión de una lengua global y la diversidad creciente de las lenguas y culturas aportadas por la inmigración, la investigación sobre la educación lingüística y literaria de los futuros ciudadanos se convierte en una necesidad y un reto insoslayables.
Mirades i veus
El llibre recull les aportacions dels grups de recerca de la xarxa LLERA sobre l'Educació Lingüística i Literària en Entorns Plurilingües. Aquesta xarxa reuneix setze equips de recerca procedents de set universitats catalanes que han investigat d ́una manera continuada sobre l ́ensenyament i l ́aprenentatge de les llengües i de la literatura a Catalunya, des de visions compartides i complementàries.
Facilitative Glucose Transporters

Estudi tipològic, ecològic i funcional de les pastures de la plana de Vic
En aquesta obra es fa un estudi aprofundit de les característiques i l’ecologia de les pastures naturals i seminaturals que formen el mosaic de vegetació dels turons característics de la plana de Vic. A la primera part del llibre es fa la descripció i tipificació de tot el conjunt de prats i pastures naturals i seminaturals que hi ha en els turons de la plana de Vic. La segona part se centra en l’estudi dels factors ecològics, climàtics i edàfics que incideixen en la composició i distribució dels diferents tipus de pastures. I a la tercera i última part s’aprofundeix en els aspectes funcionals de les pastures, amb l’avaluació i el seguiment de la productivitat de les comunitats pradenques més comunes i més esteses en els turons, les joncedes mesòfiles i els llistonars.
Active Aging and Disease Management
Population aging and the associated burden of chronic diseases are one of the main challenges in public health worldwide. This Research Topic on "Active Aging and Disease Management" provides a comprehensive overview of population aging through fourteen comprehensive papers. Chapter 1 discusses an overview of health systems in active and healthy aging, while Chapter 2 focuses on the role of lifestyles, exercise and new technologies. Chapter 3 debates psychological and cognitive issues in aging and finally in Chapter 4, an older people self assessment is proposed and the role of communities and supporters are highlighted. We think that real social and health care integration at community level could be the key point to deliver effective health promotion and preventive intervention. Enjoy the reading!
