MycoKey Round Table Discussions of Future Directions in Research on Chemical Detection Methods, Genetics and Biodiversity of Mycotoxins
2018
MycoKey, an EU-funded Horizon 2020 project, includes a series of “Roundtable Discussions” to gather information on trending research areas in the field of mycotoxicology. This paper includes summaries of the Roundtable Discussions on Chemical Detection and Monitoring of mycotoxins and on the role of genetics and biodiversity in mycotoxin production. Discussions were managed by using the nominal group discussion technique, which generates numerous ideas and provides a ranking for those identified as the most important. Four questions were posed for each research area, as well as two questions that were common to both discussions. Test kits, usually antibody based, were one major focus of the…
Ámbito de relación entre el poder real y los municipios de la Corona de Aragón durante la época foral moderna
2006
La gobernación efectiva de los territorios que integraban la monarquía hispánica descansaba en gran medida en la operatividad de las diversas vías de comunicación establecidas entre el centro y la periferia. En este contexto temático, se tratará de esbozar aquí un breve recorrido por los distintos cauces a través de los cuales se desenvolvían las relaciones entre la administración real y la municipal, en el ámbito de la Corona de Aragón durante la época de los Austrias. Más allá de las diferencias y peculiaridades propias de cada reino, se ha primado un enfoque que, a partir de las similitudes institucionales, trate de dar cuenta de los rasgos que caracterizaban los diversos marcos de relac…
Sin la protección de ser una profesión reglada
2013
El Anteproyecto de Ley de Servicios Profesionales, puesto en circulación hace unos meses, nos anima a una reflexión y toma de conciencia de la situación de nuestra profesión. Una mirada que intenta responder a esta cuestión ¿Es Trabajo Social una profesión regulada? Entramos en el tema con un breve recorrido histórico para pasar a ocuparnos de la revisión de la normativa que define y enumera qué se entiende por profesión regulada. Comprobamos que no lo somos, y que quizá fue una oportunidad perdida, pero en el momento actual no parece que debamos centrar nuestras fuerzas en conseguir serlo, ya que los actuales vientos empujan a una mayor liberalización de las profesiones. The draft bill on …
Assessment of Referees in Terms of Building a Positive Climate and Responsiveness to the Health, Emotional, and Social Needs of Rugby Players in Comp…
2021
One of the key elements of effective sports programs that contribute to a child’s sense of joy and satisfaction in participating in sports is contact with an adult who builds a caring climate deliberately and intentionally. Referees play a special role in providing positive experiences for young athletes. The main aim of this study was to assess the quality of referee–player interactions in terms of building a positive climate during the game and the referee’s responsiveness to the health, emotional, social, and cognitive needs of young rugby players aged 6–12 years. The research was conducted among 23 referees refereeing children’s rugby matches in Poland. The structure observation method …
La planificación basada en competencias en los másteres oficiales: un reto para el profesorado universitario
2010
To focus the attention on competences means a radical change for the teaching design. It is one of the places where the most effective changes are expected. The research presented here tries to analyze the way that competences are used when describing official Master degrees. The competences of 87 Master degrees from 9 universities are analyzed. The results show that most Masters do not specify their competences. The most common ones refer to the knowledge application and that an enormous heterogeneity exists when classifying the types of competences. Desde la planificación docente, centrar la atención en las competencias supone un giro radical. Es uno de los elementos en los que se aspira …
The FBN2 gene: new mutations, locus-specific database (Universal Mutation Database FBN2), and genotype-phenotype correlations.
2009
International audience; Congenital contractural arachnodactyly (CCA) is an extremely rare disease, due to mutations in the FBN2 gene encoding fibrillin-2. Another member of the fibrillin family, the FBN1 gene, is involved in a broad phenotypic continuum of connective-tissue disorders including Marfan syndrome. Identifying not only what is in common but also what differentiates these two proteins should enable us to better comprehend their respective functions and better understand the multitude of diseases in which these two genes are involved. In 1995 we created a locus-specific database (LSDB) for FBN1 mutations with the Universal Mutation Database (UMD) tool. To facilitate comparison of …
La représentation de l'identité sicilienne à l'époque fasciste, des bâtiments publics aux villages ruraux
In Sicily, the walls of many public buildings built in the interwar period house scenes related to official events – historical milestones for the fascist government, such as the March on Rome or the creation of the Empire, and episodes referring to the “micro-history” of the island, such as the visits of Mussolini – or which depiction realistic characters evoking the local population in their context. These murals show the dichotomy of “central power/local technocracy”, which affects the representation of local contexts, ideally placed within the national framework or, on the contrary, far removed from city centres and immersed in remote countryside. The link between the representation of …
Justice for All? Issues Faced by Linguistic Minorities and Border Patrol Agents during Interpreted Arraignment Interviews.
2015
The Tijuana (Mexico) - San Ysidro (San Diego County, CA) international border is the world’s busiest port of entry. The US Customs and Border Protection Agency hires over 60,000 employees, 21,000 of whom are agents in the US Border Patrol. Several steps must be taken to become a border patrol agent, but being bilingual is not a pre-requisite. In order to communicate with detainees, and interrogate them, the US Border Patrol Agency hires the services of Telephone Interpreting Companies. In this study I present segments of a 2 hour and fifty minute transcript that captures a typical border patrol agent /detainee interaction facilitated by an ad-hoc interpreter. I examine the power differentia…
Climate Aridity and the Geographical Shift of Olive Trees in a Mediterranean Northern Region
2021
Climate change leverages landscape transformations and exerts variable pressure on natural environments and rural systems. Earlier studies outlined how Mediterranean Europe has become a global hotspot of climate warming and land use change. The present work assumes the olive tree, a typical Mediterranean crop, as a candidate bioclimatic indicator, delineating the latent impact of climate aridity on traditional cropping systems at the northern range of the biogeographical distribution of the olive tree. Since the olive tree follows a well-defined latitude gradient with a progressive decline in both frequency and density moving toward the north, we considered Italy as an appropriate case to i…
Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection and Diverse Physical Health Outcomes: An Umbrella Review of Meta-analyses of Observational Studies.
2019
Abstract Background Our aim was to assess both the credibility and strength of evidence arising from systematic reviews with meta-analyses of observational studies and physical health outcomes associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) but not acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Methods We performed an umbrella review of observational studies. Evidence was graded as convincing, highly suggestive, suggestive, weak, or nonsignificant. Results From 3413 studies returned, 20 were included, covering 55 health outcomes. Median number of participants was 18 743 (range 403–225 000 000). Overall, 45 (81.8%) of the 55 unique outcomes reported nominally significant summary results (P < .05). O…
