چکیده
In the last decade we have faced important changes in the framework of ideologies at the international level. On the one hand we have seen a consolidation of the awareness upon the environment. On the other hand, since the fall down of the Berlin wall, the world-wide discredit of socialism has grown up, it has bad press. In words of O’Connor (1998: 49) “during the past two or three decades, ecology and the colour green have become respectable, while socialism and the colour red have been expelled from “normalized” political discourse”. Nevertheless, in order to answer to the question that is the origin of this essay, I will propose that these two ideologies are not contradictory, but they can go by the same common way. That is, since both of them criticise the present model of development and both are radical strategies of transformation, they can overcome the narrowness that they sometimes show in certain aspects of their ideologies. The main idea will be that, at practical levels, we can overcome the contradiction between the ecologist ecocentrism and the socialist anthropocentrism if we yield before an integrative holism. Moreover, I will argument in favour of socialism to give up the tradition of economic growth, and I will insist that capitalism has, by necessity, a tendency to grow. Thus, the idea of eco-capitalism is not viable. However, before going deep into the analysis, I will state briefly what I understand as socialism and ecologism.

Photocatalytic activities of coke carbon/g-C3N4 and Bi metal/Bi mixed oxides/g-C3N4 nanohybrids for the degradation of pollutants in wastewater
Different g-C3N4 composite systems (coke carbon/g-C3N4, Bi/Bi2WO6/g-C3N4 and Bi/Bi2MoO6/g-C3N4) have been assessed as photocatalysts for wastewater pollutants removal. The coke carbon/g-C3N4 hybrid, produced by thermal treatment at 550 °C of a composite made from melamine cyanurate and coke, only showed activity under UV-light irradiation. On the other hand, inorganic Bi spheres/Bi mixed oxides...

BACKGROUND Patients infected with influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 virus requiring admission to the ICU remain an important source of mortality during the influenza season. The objective of the study was to assess the impact of a delay in diagnosis of community-acquired influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 virus infection on clinical outcome in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU. METHODS A prospective mul...
