common theme
from a bilingual abstract on a study of Concepcion Arenas:
"Sus aportaciones reformistas y comprometidas con la sociedad de su tiempo tuvieron como *hilo conductor* su incansable defensa de la dignidad del ser humano.
"Her reformist contributions and commitment to society at that time are linked by the *common theme* of her tire¬less defence of the dignity of human beings."
http://europa.sim.ucm.es/compludoc/AA?articuloId=693768&dond...
The office block’s public rooms follow a *common theme* with a clean, modern design creating an elegant, sophisticated and functional environment.
"El conjunto de la oficina sigue un* hilo conductor* coherente entre las estancias y consecuente con un estilo limpio y moderno, que logra crear un ambiente elegante y sofisticado a la par que funcional."
