“…Warnings against the romanticizing community are commonplace in the academic literature (e.g., Bourke, 1994;Amin, 2004) and Gilbert (1995, p. 51) argues that mining communities should be seen as "constructed and contested places." Conflicts in the mining industry were always embedded in communal contexts (Smith, 1980;Barron, 2010). In the Durham case, particular forms of communal life were constructed to which the Gala gave expression.…”

The annual Durham Miners' Gala (or "Big Meeting"), first held in 1871, was a distinctive feature of the coalfield throughout its productive life. It became an important date in the calendar of national labor movement. But it was also a festival of music and banners. The Durham Miners' Association represented a crucial component of the British working class and a cornerstone of Laborism. But its distinctive class practices also marked out a region (see Cooke, 1985) with particular political traditions. The last mine closed in 1994. Yet the Gala has survived the demise of industry and the conflicts and struggles which it produced. In July 2019, the 135th Gala attracted tens of thousands of people. This paper reviews the existing academic literature on the Gala and draws on a range of sources (including memoirs, novels, paintings, films, and biographies) to chart the shifting cultural history of the Gala. I show that the form and content of the Gala has changed throughout its history and has been freighted with a range of meanings. The Gala can be seen as an example of "intangible cultural heritage" in which knowledge of the past aspects of working class and communal life are reproduced and reimagined even when the material basis for them has apparently disappeared.

“…86 Nevertheless, Barron notes that over 1,000 compensation cases relating to fatal and non-fatal accidents were heard during 1926, possibly out of the desire to 'avoid costly court cases' . 87 Subsequent to the dispute, the South Wales Miners' Federation found that many light employment men were not taken on again by the employers and so was forced to attempt to negotiate their re-employment as best it could. 88 The Federation also emphasised its belief that employers continued to have a responsibility to find light work for men injured or impaired in their employment, and utilised test cases and negotiations to successfully secure concessions from the employers.…”

Por nuestra parte, dado que el objetivo del presente artículo es abordar la representación y modelización de las mismas en sistemas informáticos, nos centraremos a continuaciónúnicamente en las ecuaciones que determinan estas superficies, mostrando algunos ejemplos arquitectónicos concretos de cada una de ellas.…”

Existe una amplia gama de sistemas CAD destinados a modelar objetos tridimensionales. Basados en una creación y transformación intuitiva de objetos geométricos básicos, el fundamento matemático de estas herramientas es generalmente desconocido por sus usuarios. La incorporación de las mismas en el aula de Matemáticas es una pieza clave para lograr captar la atención del alumnado de aquellas titulaciones universitarias en las que los sistemas CAD no sólo son atrayentes, sino que son además de suma importancia para la futura vida profesional. El presente artículo trata acerca de la experiencia docente llevada a cabo en este sentido durante losúltimos cinco años en el Grado de Ingeniería de Edificación de la Universidad de Sevilla. La búsqueda metodológica de modelos matemáticos que les permita construir virtualmente edificios reales ha mejorado no sólo el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, sino también su interés en la materia y su rendimiento académico. Un recorrido virtual a través de sus construcciones es una perfecta excusa para tratar también el fundamento matemático en los que se basan los mismos.There exists a wide range of CAD systems devoted to model three-dimensional objects. Based on an intuitive creation and transformation of basic geometrical objects, the mathematical foundation of such systems is generally unknown to their users. The incorporation of this kind of software in Math classes is a fundamental key to get the attention of students of those degrees for which CAD systems are not only attractive, but also extremely important in the future professional career. The current paper deals with the experience carried out in this regard during the last five years by students of the Building Engineering Degree of the University of Seville. The methodological search of mathematical models that allow them to construct virtually real buildings has improved not only the process of teaching-learning, but also their interest in the subject and their academic efficiency. A virtual tour through their constructions is a perfect excuse to deal also with the mathematical foundation on which they are based on.
