Resumen Baltasar Merino y Román (1845-1917) fue un botánico español, autor de la obra ‘Flora Descriptiva e Ilustrada de Galicia’ cuya base se encuentra en los herbarios que confeccionó. Son bien conocidas las colecciones conservadas en los herbarios LOU (Lourizán, Pontevedra) y MHN (Museo de Historia Natural de Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña). Sin embargo, también confeccionó un herbario que donó al Instituto de Pontevedra en los primeros años del siglo XX y que ha pasado relativamente desapercibido en los estudios florísticos de Galicia. En este trabajo se ha realizado un inventario completo de esa colección, procedente de las actividades herborizadoras de Merino en todo el territorio gallego con una selecta representación de los taxones más significativos de su catálogo. Se han reconocido un total de 1.031 pliegos de 90 familias distintas de Cormophyta. Las familias Gramineae y Compositae son las mejor representadas con más de 100 pliegos cada una, pero hasta 21 familias superan la decena de taxones. Sólo el 47,75 % de los taxones de la Flora de Galicia de Merino no se encuentran representados en este herbario, lo que subraya la importancia del mismo. El herbario fue entregado por Merino al Instituto de Pontevedra entre 1900 y 1905, probablemente a través de las peticiones realizadas por Ernesto Caballero Bellido y/o Alejandro de Colomina y Cárolo, por entonces, miembros del claustro de la institución. Abstract Baltasar Merino y Román (1845-1917) was a Spanish botanist, author of the work ‘Flora Descriptiva e Ilustrada de Galicia’. He developed several herbaria. The collections kept in the herbaria LOU (Lourizán, Pontevedra) and MHN (Museum of Natural History of Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña) are well known. However, he also produced a herbarium that he donated to the Institute of Pontevedra in the early years of the 20th century. This herbarium has gone unnoticed in the floristic studies of Galicia. In this work a complete inventory of this collection has been made, coming from the Merino collecting activities throughout the Galician territory. It contains a select representation of the most significant taxa in its catalogue. A total of 1,031 sheets of 90 different families of Cormophyta have been recognized. The families Gramineae and Compositae are the best represented. They have more than 100 sheets each and 21 families exceed ten taxa. Only 47,75 % of the taxa of Flora de Galicia de Merino are not represented in this herbarium, which underscores its importance. The herbarium was delivered by Merino to the Institute of Pontevedra between 1900 and 1905, probably through the requests made by Ernesto Caballero Bellido and/or Alejandro de Colomina and Cárolo, at that time, members of the institution.

Anatolij Nikiforovich Tyuryukanov (1931-2001), Dr.Sci (Biol.), professor was a remarkable Russian natural scientist, who made a signifi contribution to soil science and the theory of the biosphere. Investigation of Tyuryukanov’s works shows both evolution of the author’s scientifi interests and development of natural history in Russia in 20th century. He formulated the biosphere natural history principle founded on a new fundamental category of sciences foundation in 20th century. Th principle is based on genetic soil science, biogeocenology, landscape geochemistry and main branches of the Earth biosphere and vitasphere study. Interesting and sometimes unexpected assertions of A.N. Tyuryukanovs provide food for thought about both further studies of nature, development of biosphere study and refl on the human and biosphere relationships.

La referencia constante al civismo es uno de los rasgos más distintivos de la historia urbana de Pereira. Al igual que en muchas ciudades colombianas, la ideología del civismo asume la necesidad de establecer una especie de simbiosis entre la ciudad, sus espacios públicos y sus ciudadanos, tanto en lo material como en lo espiritual. En el caso de Pereira se busca identificar los aspectos más relevantes del discurso cívico que desarrollaron entidades como la Sociedad de Mejoras y el Club Rotario a través de diferentes medios escritos, poniendo especial énfasis en los valores morales que debían exhibir los ciudadanos cívicos o los "ciudadanos de bien" de la ciudad, en el proceso de transformación y modernización vivido a lo largo del siglo XX.Palabras clave: discurso, civismo, prensa, clubes y sociedades, historia local, siglo XX.The discourse of civism in Pereira, or The “sacredness” of public matters during the 20th century AbstractThe constant reference to civism is one of the most distinct characteristics of the urban history of Pereira. Similar to many Colombian cities, the ideology of civism assumes that there is a need to establish a kind of symbiosis between the city, its public spaces, and its citizens, in material as well as spiritual matters. In the case of Pereira, the author seeks to identify the most relevant aspects of the civic discourse which developed entities like the Improvement Society and the Rotary Club, through different written means, putting special emphasis on the moral values which the civic citizens (or ciudadanos de bien) must have exhibited in the process of transformation and modernization experienced throughout the 20th century. Keywords: discourse, civism, press, clubs and societies, local history, twentieth century.

The 1960S

The Ottawa Field-Naturalists’ Club (OFNC) represents an unbroken chain of organized, non-governmental natural history investigation and education dating back to the early days of the city of Ottawa itself. The Club originated in 1863 with the formation of the Ottawa Natural History Society which became the Natural History branch of the Ottawa Literary and Scientific Society in 1870, from which the OFNC formally separated in March 1879. Since that time, it has grown into Canada’s oldest and largest regional natural history organization and has produced a diverse and internationally recognized publication program. Since 1880 The Canadian Field-Naturalist and its predecessors have constituted the scientific core of the OFNC’s publication program, with Trail & Landscape being an important Ottawa Valley publication since the late 1960s. The importance of both publications to the growth and health of the organization is reflected in the major surges in Club membership experienced when each of these publications was established. The focus of membership activities has changed over the history of the OFNC, with enlightened natural resource management, then original scientific research and local exploration directing energies in the early decades. By the early years of the 20th century the publications program become the raison d’etre of the Club, almost to the exclusion of local field activities. A renewed interest in field discovery and the growth of conservation awareness in the 1960s, however, rekindled local activities and re-established the balance which has sustained the organization throughout its history. Natural environment education has remained a critical theme within OFNC programs and activities. Over and above inspiring the professional careers and private interests of thousands of individuals for more than a century, the OFNC has had an important and lasting impact on the conservation of natural environment features and landscapes in Canada and North America.

O presente artigo analisa concepções de Biologia que estavam em disputa no processo de mudança curricular em que o curso de História Natural, da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), é extinto em 1972 e substituído pelo de Ciências Biológicas. As questões que orientam a pesquisa incluem: Quais pretensões de formação profissional articuladas às concepções de Biologia foram valorizadas e selecionadas no currículo acadêmico nesse processo de mudança curricular? De posse de referenciais da História Nova e da História do Currículo, investiga-se a trajetória do curso de Ciências Biológicas da UFSM como uma construção sócio-histórica, isto é, em conexão com a história das forças sociais que a atravessou e a configurou desta forma, e não de outra. Em suma, a investigação revela que o processo de mudança de História Natural para Ciências Biológicas, na UFSM, não ocorreu apenas em torno da denominação, mas foi também um espaço de disputas e negociações entre distintas concepções de Biologia. Em virtude destas distintas concepções, articuladas e legitimadas por diferentes forças sociais, o curso de Ciências Biológicas da UFSM acabou priorizando a formação do especialista, em detrimento da formação do historiador natural e do professor de Biologia. Palavras-chave: História do Currículo. Formação de Professores. Ciências Biológicas. História Natural. UFSM.  This article  explores concepts of biology that were in dispute in the process of curriculum change of the course of Natural History, Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), when it was abolished in 1972 and replaced by the Biological Sciences one. Based on the studies of New History and History of Curriculum the research  investigates the trajectory of UFSM Biological Sciences course  in a socio-historical perspective. In other words, the research highlights the connections with the history of social forces that crossed and configured this way and not another. In short, research shows that the process of change of Natural History to Life Sciences in UFSM was not related  to the name, but it was also an area of disputes and negotiations between different conceptions of Biology. Due to these distinct conceptions, articulated and legitimized by different social forces, the UFSM Biological Sciences course had put emphasis on the specialist preparation at the expenses of the naturalist and the Biology teacher one.

PRUEBA - A mediados del siglo XX se inicia la revalorización de los centros históricos en Es- paña, especialmente de aquellas ciudades vinculadas con la historia de nuestro país, buscando desarrollar su potencial turístico como pieza clave para mejorar la economía nacional y ofrecer una imagen de modernidad en el extranjero.En esa labor tiene especial importancia la Sección de Ordenación de Ciudades de Interés Artístico Nacional, organismo dependiente de la Dirección General de Arquitectura, cuyos arquitectos son los encargados de diseñar proyectos de mejora y embellecimiento urbano, los cuales generalmente se complementaban con otras intervenciones acometidas en los edificios monumentales por otras instituciones (como, por ejemplo, la Dirección General de Bellas Artes o los cabildos municipales).A través de este estudio pretendemos analizar las intervenciones acometidas en la ciudad de Jaén durante la década de los 60 y 70, proyectos urbanísticos llevados a cabo si- guiendo otros ejemplos en la provincia como las reformas acometidas en Úbeda y Baeza una década antes, y que pretendían embellecer espacios tan emblemáticos como la Plaza de Santa María y el histórico barrio de la Magdalena. In the middle of the 20th. century began the revaluation of the historical centers in Spain, especially those cities linked to the history of the country, seeking to develop their tourist potential as a key piece to improve the national economy and to offer a modern image abroad. In this work it has special function the Section of Ordination of Cities of National Artistic Interest, organism dependent of the Directorate General of Architecture, whose architects are in charge of designing projects of improvement and urban beautification, which were generally complemented by other interventions in monumental buildings by other institutions (such as the Directorate General of Fine Arts). Through this study we intend to analyze the interventions undertaken in the city of Jaén during the decades of the ' 60s and ' 70s, urban projects carried out following other examples in the province as the reforms undertaken in Úbeda and Baeza a decade before, and which sought to beautify so emblematic as the Square of St. Mary and the historic district of the Magdalene.

O siqueirismo se tornou um derivativo de uma palavra que era comum desde a criação do Estado nos meios políticos. Com a configuração de um grupo político praticamente hegemônico no Tocantins, os políticos, sejam deputados, prefeitos, vereadores e senadores ligados ao grupo de Siqueira Campos eram chamados de siqueiristas. Desta forma objetivamos fazer uma análise do siqueirismo comparativamente a outras formas de dominação, na perspectiva weberiana, no Brasil contemporâneo. O interesse é pontuar, em um recorte deliberado de algumas formas de poder que possam servir à percepção do que é o siqueirismo no Tocantins e compará-lo com outros personagens da política brasileira na segunda metade do século XX.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Tocantins; siqueirismo; dominação; política.     ABSTRACT Siqueirism has become a derivative of a word that was common in political circles since the creation of Tocantins state. With the configuration of a practically homogeneous political group in Tocantins, the politicians that were affiliated to Siqueira Campos were called “siqueiristas”, whether they were congressmen, mayors, councilman or senators. Thus, we aim to make an analysis of siqueirismo with respect to other forms of domination in contemporary Brazil using a Weberian perspective. Our interest is to point which forms of power can be used to built a perception of what is siqueirism and compare it to other political characters from Brazilian history of the mid-late 20th century.   KEYWORDS: Tocantins; siqueirism; domination; politics.     RESUMEN El siqueirismo se convirtió en un derivado de una palabra que era común desde la creación del Estado en los círculos políticos. Con la configuración de un grupo político prácticamente hegemónica en Tocantins, los políticos son diputados, alcaldes, concejales y senadores vinculados al grupo de Siqueira Campos fueron llamados siqueiristas. De esta manera se pretende analizar la siqueirismo en comparación con otras formas de dominación, en la perspectiva de Weber, en el Brasil contemporáneo. El interés es anotar en un corte deliberado de algunas formas de poder que puede servir a la percepción de lo que se siqueirismo en Tocantins y compararlo con otros personajes de la política brasileña en la segunda mitad del siglo XX.     PALABRAS CLAVE: Tocantins; Siqueirismo; Dominación; Política.
