We are delighted to invite you to the next Iberian Meeting on Rheology (IBEREO 2017), which will be held in Valencia (Spain) September 6-8, 2017. The Meeting is an International event organized every two years, jointly by the Spanish Group of Rheology (GER) and the Portuguese Society of Rheology (SPR).

The current edition is hosted by the Universitat de València and IATA-CSIC and will take place in the ADEIT premises, located at the historical centre of the city of Valencia, Spain.

During the meeting, the most recent trends in rheology will be addressed, with a special emphasis on industrial applications. An important consideration will be given to health and sustainable development, as main drivers in nowadays product development. Recent developments in experimental techniques, modelling and simulation will be also covered. The meeting will include keynote lectures given by well-known scientists, and oral and poster contributions on the main topics. A round table with representatives from Industry and Science will also be organised.

The Department of Spanish, Modern and Classical Languages is pleased to announce the 13th Generative Approaches to Language Acquisition conference (GALA 13) to be held at the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), Palma de Mallorca (Spain) on September 7-9, 2017.

 This biannual conference brings together researchers from across Europe and overseas with the aim of communicating results from their research. It also provides a forum for discussion of recent, high-quality research on first and second language acquisition, bi/multilingual acquisition, heritage language acquisition, language pathology and language impairment, the acquisition of sign language and brain imaging research for acquisition and pathology. Language acquisition studies are central to building our understanding of human language and how it develops in the brain. The field has witnessed a continuous growth during the past three decades.

Following the success of previous GALA conferences held in Durham (1993), Groningen (1995), Edinburgh (1997), Potsdam (1999), Palmela (2001), Utrecht (2003), Siena (2005), Barcelona (2007), Lisbon (2009), Thessaloniki (2011) and, most recently, Oldenburg (2013) and Nantes (2015), this year GALA will be held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, organised by Pedro Guijarro-Fuentes and Cristina Suárez-Gómez and hosted by the Universitat de les Illes Balears.

GALA13

En la sociedad actual las denominadas nuevas terapias están cada vez más en apogeo debido a la gran expansión que hacen de éstas los diferentes medios de comunicación. Los vendajes neuromusculares son una estrategia de trabajo interdisciplinar que puede ser utilizada tanto por el fisioterapeuta como por el logopeda, viéndose aquí reflejada la capacidad de los profesionales para abordar al paciente de una forma conjunta, no como partes de un todo. Esta terapia dará a los logopedas una herramienta más en el tratamiento de los trastornos de las funciones orofaciales como la alimentación, la respiración o el habla. La aplicación de esta técnica va dirigida a todo tipo de pacientes, ya sean tanto niños como adultos con alteraciones musculo esqueléticas congénitas o adquiridas, anomalías neurológicas, sindrómicas; así como los trastornos funcionales orofaciales con otras etologías. Se puede aplicar a todo tipo de pacientes, siempre siguiendo unas pautas determinadas.
