Which is the most spoken language in the world? Definitely, Catalan is not. Its use is at risk in schools and other cultural spaces.

Design of a sustainable house in Súria (by Núria Reguant)

2025-12-01 13:02:25 UTC

Since I was little, I have been watching TV programs about building houses. Also, the current situation of climate change made me think about helping the planet with architecture. Building houses in a sustainable way can save money using good insulation and modern systems. In fact, architecture in cities is just as important as architecture in towns. If only cities try to be more sustainable, but towns don't, it is not enough to improve the environmental situation. Now, you are into sustainable architecture, aren't you?

The wisdom beyond the ring (by Marc Badia)

2025-12-01 13:03:01 UTC

Have you ever delved deep into a book? Every piece of art contains in itself a never-ending well of hidden meanings and inspirations. To experience it is to take a glance at the author's life and inner world. However, it is sometimes a tough job to deepen your understanding of a work; most times, our superficial "first take" of art is the one we end up with. As a helpful guide, we can take the history of philosophical thought, and compare its similitudes and differences with our chosen work. That's our case with Tolkien's Lord of the Rings: it is possible to get a better and more thorough read of it through the analysis of western philosophy tradition.

From Àfrica to Spain (by Ona Guerrero)

mroura08 — 2025-12-01 13:10:51 UTC

Migration from Africa to Spain happens mainly because people seek better economic opportunities, safety, and living conditions. Many leave Africa due to poverty, unemployment, conflict, or environmental problems, while Spain attracts them with job possibilities and geographic proximity. Migrants travel by sea across the Strait of Gibraltar, to the Canary Islands, or attempt entry through Ceuta and Melilla, often facing dangerous conditions and exploitation. This movement brings challenges and benefits: Spain gains workers but must manage integration, while African countries lose young labor but receive important remittances. Overall, the journey from Africa to Spain reflects both the hardships migrants face and their hope for a better future.

If we expose children to different images twice throughout a long period of time, and during this time we play games and read books by using those words, we can conclude that they will acquire the majority of this new vocabulary. With games and books, children are more open to the possibility of learning, rather than by memorizing random words or writing them in the exam and getting a grade.

It is very important to be conscious about how mental health can affect footballers. Imagine you are in the middle of a football field when, suddenly, a football match starts.

Pain Neuroscience (by Jaume Beltran)

ecasas33 — 2025-12-15 22:26:12 UTC

I am sure that at least once, you hurt yourself, and you did not realize it until you saw the blood. The situation may seem surprising, but it is a "superpower" that our body has. That is possible because of the descending inhibition, which is a fascinating capacity of our nervous system. Our brain does not only receive pain, but it can also modulate it depending on a lot of personal contexts. This makes pain a subjective experience, which is why it is so difficult to quantify the pain a person feels.
