La Magdalena oculta de Büchner y Herzog
2011
Fritz Saxl se propuso demostrar el poder magnético de las imágenes, actuando éstas como esferas de atracción e influencia para otras creaciones. Esto mismo puede aplicarse a algunos personajes, los cuales han dejado su herencia en otras figuras posteriores. En el presente artículo se demostrará cómo María Magdalena es uno de estos personajes que ha servido de génesis para la configuración de otras figuras femeninas. Dicha hipótesis se mostrará a través del análisis de la película Woyzeck (Woyzeck, 1979), dirigida por Werner Herzog, y de la obra teatral homónima de Georg Büchner en la que está basado el film. (A)
Multiple independent variants at the TERT locus are associated with telomere length and risks of breast and ovarian cancer
2013
Journal article TERT-locus SNPs and leukocyte telomere measures are reportedly associated with risks of multiple cancers. Using the Illumina custom genotyping array iCOGs, we analyzed ~480 SNPs at the TERT locus in breast (n = 103,991), ovarian (n = 39,774) and BRCA1 mutation carrier (n = 11,705) cancer cases and controls. Leukocyte telomere measurements were also available for 53,724 participants. Most associations cluster into three independent peaks. The minor allele at the peak 1 SNP rs2736108 associates with longer telomeres (P = 5.8 × 10!-7), lower risks for estrogen receptor (ER)-negative (P = 1.0 × 10!-8) and BRCA1 mutation carrier (P = 1.1 × 10!-5) breast cancers and altered promot…
El catolicismo social desafiado. Tres acercamientos críticos a la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia, desde experiencias teológicas contextuales
2009
Desde los años sesenta se ha desarrollado un intenso debate teológico que ha tratado de sistematizar la relación entre el fenómeno del Catolicismo Social y la Teologías Contextuales o de la Liberación. El vínculo entre ambos conceptos es imposible de soslayar, tanto por motivos históricos como metodológicos. Pero es evidente que esta vinculación es fundamentalmente una relación crítica, que no ha estado exenta de conflictividad y polémica. Since the sixties has developed an intense theological debate that has sought to systematize the relationship between the phenomenon of Social Catholicism and Contextual Theologies and Liberation. The link between the two concepts is impossible to ignore,…
Una habitación propia en los márgenes de la cultura
2006
El texto está enteramente dedicado a “Una habitación propia” de Virginia Woolf. En primer lugar, se repasan las dificultades que han pesado históricamente sobre las mujeres con vocación de escritoras y a las que alude la autora. Después, se presta atención a una de las tesis centrales de la teoría literaria contenida en este libro, a saber, la idea de que las grandes mentes creadoras de la literatura han sido esencialmente andróginas. A la luz de este principio se comparan las figuras de dos de las novelistas más sobresalientes del siglo XIX: Charlotte Brontë y Jane Austen. Se hace referencia, por último, a la necesidad, tanto simbólica como real, de que las mujeres dispongan de una habitac…
Effect of thyroid function on assisted reproduction outcomes in euthyroid infertile women: A single center retrospective data analysis and a systemat…
2022
BackgroundThe influence of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) on gestational outcomes have been studied and checked whether differing TSH levels are relevant on human reproduction outcomes. International guidelines recommend TSH values <2.5 mIU/L in women trying to conceive, since values above this level are related to a higher frequency of adverse reproductive outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate whether TSH values correlate with different gestational outcomes in euthyroid infertile women without autoimmune thyroid disease.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 256 women who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. The participants were divided into tw…
Milk quality as affected by grazing time of day in Mediterranean goats.
2008
We evaluated the effect of grazing time of day on goat milk chemical composition, renneting properties and milk fatty acid profile in a Mediterranean grazing system. Sixteen lactating Girgentana goats were divided into two experimental groups and housed in individual pens, where they received 500 g/d of barley grain. For 5 weeks the two groups were left to graze in two fenced plots on a ryegrass sward as follows: morning group (AM), from 9·00 to 13·00; afternoon group (PM), from 12·00 to 16·00. In selected herbage, water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) increased in the afternoon (204 v. 174 g/kg dry matter, DM; P=0·01), whereas crude protein (CP) and linolenic acid decreased (respectively, 16·7…
Boceprevir is highly effective in treatment-experienced hepatitis C virus-positive genotype-1 menopausal women
2014
AIM: To investigate the safety/efficacy of Boceprevirbased triple therapy in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-G1 menopausal women who were historic relapsers, partial-responders and null-responders. METHODS: In this single-assignment, unblinded study, we treated fifty-six menopausal women with HCV-G1, 46% F3-F4, and previous PEG-α/RBV failure (7% null, 41% non-responder, and 52% relapser) with 4 wk lead-in with PEG-IFNα2b/RBV followed by PEGIFNα2b/RBV+Boceprevir for 32 wk, with an additional 12 wk of PEG-IFN-α-2b/RBV if patients were HCV-RNA-positive by week 8. In previous null-responders, 44 wk of triple therapy was used. The primary objective of retreatment was to verify whether a sustained virolo…
Numerical prediction of Biphasic Titanium Alloys Microstructure in Hot Forging Operations.
2012
Modern transportation industries shall comply with two demanding requirements: reducing operational consumption together with production costs coming from materials and labour. Current trend of engineering is oriented to meet both requirements increasing the rate of polymer matrix composites which implies association with structures made of titanium alloys. Hot forming can be used to reduce the production costs of titanium components: forging in closed dies of billets or semi finished form, in the temperature range where the Beta phase of titanium is stable, grants an adequate plasticity of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the most commercially used, allowing production of complex shapes with limited a…
Influence of the evolutionary optimization parameters on the optimal topology
2016
Topological optimization can be considered as one of the most general types of structural optimization. Between all known topological optimization techniques, the Evolutionary Structural Optimization represents one of the most efficient and easy to implement approaches. Evolutionary topological optimization is based on a heuristic general principle which states that, by gradually removing portions of inefficient material from an assigned domain, the resulting structure will evolve towards an optimal configuration. Usually, the initial continuum domain is divided into finite elements that may or may not be removed according to the chosen efficiency criteria and other parameters like the spee…
Microstructure and diversity of the bursa copulatrix wall in Tortricidae (Lepidoptera).
2012
The inner surface and muscle structure of the bursa copulatrix are examined for the first time with Electron Microscopy in some representatives of the family Tortricidae (Lepidoptera). The internal microprotuberances reveal taxon dependent characters unstudied in the Lepidoptera until now. Acanthae occur in almost all taxa studied, whereas ctenidia and papillae are found only in representatives of Tortricinae and Olethreutinae, respectively. Muscles are radially arranged from the signa. Areas of muscle insertion on the bursal wall are not covered by other muscle fibers. Muscle attachments to evaginated areas, e.g. capitulum and diverticulum, suggest an apodeme role for these structures, cor…
