Caesaraugusta, la actual Zaragoza, acabó siendo la gran ciudad del valle medio del Ebro en la Antigüedad manteniendo su estatus a través del tiempo y de las diferentes etapas históricas. ¿Pero y si hubiera sido otro enclave el que había estado destinado a hacer ese papel de gran capital de la región? En este programa nos vamos hasta la Hispania romana para conocer la historia de la Colonia Victrix Lépida Iulia Celsa, la ciudad que nunca fue.

În acest episod am adus în discuție un subiect destul de rar abordat și nu foarte clar definit din perspectiva psihologică. „Love addiction”, sau dependența de îndrăgostire, nu apare în manualele de psihologie, dar e înțeleasă ca nevoia compulsivă de a simți atracția și dorința de la începutul unei relații, insă fără a lăsa relația să evolueze și atașamentul să se formeze. Iulia Hau ne spune cum se simte nevoia de a găsi următoarea doză de îndrăgostire, ce impact are această adicție și ce putem învăța cu toții din ea. Iulia e jurnalistă, interesată de antropologie, și îi puteți citi articolele în Scena 9, platforma Iscoada (unde recent a publicat un text chiar despre Love Addiction) , sau Hotnews. De asemenea, Iulia a moderat recent o discuție despre monogamie și non-monogamie desfășurată la Influx.

A continuación pueden escuchar a Iulia Scorojanu, nutricionista, en su charla "Desmintiendo mitos en alimentación" nos hace un buen repaso por los muchos mitos existentes con detalles de cómo nos pueden afectar en la salud. Los mitos, o falsas creencias, están a la orden del día en la alimentación y, aunque no suelen ser perjudiciales, pueden boicotear una dieta saludable y hasta llegar a afectar a nuestra salud. De hecho, es fácil dejarse llevar por estas ideas erróneas porque están tan popularizadas que se repiten sin comprobar su evidencia científica. Las consecuencias de incluir los mitos o bulos en la alimentación son: Tomar decisiones equivocadas en la dieta Sentirnos culpables por algo que no es cierto Sustituir ciertos alimentos saludables por otros que no lo son tanto Tener miedo a alimentos básicos como la leche, por la intolerancia que provoca en algunas personas, y excluirlos de nuestra dieta
