This paper addresses the Castilian lanza, making a proposal on its origin, and reveals our stance on an underlying issue regarding this topic: it has been discussed by many Historians from different perspectives that, far from removing all doubt, have generated some confusion. One of these is the time frame. While the available data allow to determine a specific point in time for the emergence of the lanza in Castile, some authors have formulated different hypotheses as a result of either tracking semantic records in all kinds of texts -mainly literary- or following evidence in a military-organizational context. Another research line, also military-related, has been focused on finding equivalents in other late medieval European territories. Este trabajo pretende incidir en el tema de la lanza Castellana, realizando una propuesta sobre su origen, y poniendo de manifiesto nuestra postura ante un problema latente: la cuestión ha sido abordada por gran parte de la historiografía desde diversos enfoques que, lejos de despejar dudas, han generado cierta confusión. Uno de ellos es el marco temporal, pues, aunque los datos disponibles permiten establecer un ámbito cronológico concreto para la aparición de la lanza en Castilla, algunos autores han planteado ciertas hipótesis, como resultado de rastrear antecedentes semánticos en todo tipo de textos, principalmente literarios; o a través de pistas indiciarias de carácter organizativo-militar. Otra línea de investigación, también de carácter militar, ha orientado sus pesquisas a buscar equivalencias en el entorno europeo bajomedieval.

There has been increasing attention in implementation science to optimizing the fit of evidence-based interventions to the organizational settings where they are delivered. However, less is known about how to maximize intervention–context fit, particularly in community-based settings. We describe a new strategy to customize evidence-based health promotion interventions to community sites. Specifically, leaders in African American churches completed a memorandum of understanding where they were asked to identify two or more health promotion implementation strategies from a menu of 20 and select a planned implementation time frame for each. In a pilot phase with three churches, the menu-based strategy and protocols were successfully implemented and finalized in preparation for a subsequent randomized trial. The three pilot churches identified between two and nine strategies (e.g., form a health ministry, allocate space or budget for health activities, include health in church communications/sermons). The selected strategies varied widely, reinforcing the need for interventions that can be customized to fit the organizational context. Despite the challenges of integrating health promotion activities into non–health focused organizations, this approach has promise for fostering sustainable health activities in community settings.
