Is COVID‐19 infection more severe in kidney transplant recipients?
2021
International audience; There are no studies which have compared the risk of severe Covid-19 and related mortality between transplant recipients and non-transplant patients. We enrolled two groups of patients hospitalized for Covid-19, i.e., kidney transplant recipients from the French Registry of Solid Organ Transplant (n=306) and a single-center cohort of non-transplant patients (n=795). An analysis was performed among subgroups matched for age and risk factors for severe Covid-19 or mortality. Severe Covid-19 was defined as admission (or transfer) to an intensive care unit, need for mechanical ventilation, or death.Transplant recipients were younger and had more comorbidities compared to…
El debat pro i antifeminista a la literatura catalana medieval
1987
This 1987 PhD dissertation, was de facto supervised by professors Lola Badia (Universitat de Barcelona) and Alan Deyermond (Queen Mary University of London), although, because of legal limitations at that time, supervision was officially signed by another professor). This was a pioneer work in the field of women’s studies, particularly in the so-called “querelle des femmes”, although, as the dissertation study specifies, this label would only become known as such in post-medieval times. This work, then, does not deal with all misogynistic references in the whole corpus of medieval Catalan literature (that would be quite impossible in one publication), but only with those texts arguing for o…
Josefa Verride y Martina de los Ángeles. El difícil camino hacia la santidad.
2016
Resumen: A través de la información que nos proporcionan las vidas de Josefa Verride, tercera de la orden dominica en Huesca y Martina de los Ángeles, religiosa de la misma orden, fundadora del convento de san Pedro de Benabarre, pretendo aportar nuevas ideas acerca del proceso de adquisición de la fama de santidad de algunas mujeres en la Edad Moderna española. Las órdenes religiosas debieron idear estrategias que ayudasen a legitimar y consolidar la fama de santidad de estas mujeres. Una de estas estrategias fue la vinculación de las religiosas con otras mujeres con fama de santidad, creando genealogías femeninas que les permitiesen perpetuar su memoria y prestigio a lo largo del tiempo. …
Joan Cardona, pintor de la Ciudad de Valencia (1523-1556) y su versátil taller
2023
Joan Cardona es un pintor que, como muchos otros de su época, refleja la versatilidad que era necesaria, y, como pocos, el éxito profesional, aunque no se acompañe de reconocimiento historiográfico. Este se justifica en la escasez de obra identificable y en el prejuicio que ha supuesto reducirlo a una vertiente meramente decorativa, sustentada en el hecho de que figure como cortinero en la solicitud de colegio de pintores de Valencia de 1520; una propuesta en la que tuvo especial protagonismo. Sin embargo, el análisis de su trayectoria a través de distintos fondos documentales nos muestra amplia capacidad figurativa en distintos soportes. Durante el segundo cuarto del siglo XVI fue el pinto…
Merit, Competition, Distinction
2018
The article presents a critique of competition by introducing a concept called 'distinction'. Competition is thought to work as a guarantee of the fairness of meritocratic procedures (merit-based recruiting in the job market or e.g. entrance examinations). However, fairness created by competition is, even at its best, only relative. This critique is then used a part of a larger critique of the role of merit in society.
The Italian Society of Gastroenterology (SIGE) and the Italian Group for the study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IG-IBD) Clinical Practice Guideline…
2010
Biological therapies are an important step in the management of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. In consideration of high cost and safety issues there is the need to have clear recommendations for their use. Despite the American Gastroenterological Association and the European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation have published exhaustive Inflammatory Bowel Disease guidelines, national guidelines may be necessary as cultural values, economical and legal issues may differ between countries. For these reasons the Italian Society of Gastroenterology and the Italian Group for the study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease have decided to elaborate the Italian guidelines on the use of biologics in Inflammatory…
A microstructure based mechanical model for planar fibrous scaffolds.
2010
Cardiac valve and myocardium tissue regeneration has consistently raised interest for cell-seeded/microintegrated planar fibrous scaffolds. Electrospun constructs, decellularized tissues and collagen/fibrin gels often show a similar microstructure mainly characterized by the fibrous network topology. Microstructure based mechanical modeling enable fabrication parameters and scaffolds morphology to be related to mesomacro mechanical response. A novel approach to (1) characterize the material fibers network microarchitecture, (2) reproduce stochastically equivalent fiber network models, and (3) predict the mechanical response at meso-macro level is presented in this work. Electron micrographs…
Il potenziale formale della coppia Ti(IV,III) a 25°C nel mezzo HCl 1 M NaCl 2 M
2009
Nell’ambito delle diverse coppie ossidoriduttive di un elemento in soluzione acquosa, vengono indicate come ipoossidate le specie appartenenti a quelle coppie il cui potenziale standard è inferiore a quello di riduzione dell’acqua ad idrogeno, e come iperossidate le specie che fanno parte di coppie con valore del potenziale di riduzione superiore a quello dell’ossigeno ad acqua. Si tratta in entrambi i casi di specie termodinamicamente poco stabili che si trasformano rispettivamente nella forma ossidata con evoluzione di idrogeno e nella forma ridotta con evoluzione di ossigeno. Tali processi sono modulati dall’attività idrogenionica della soluzione (Figura 1). Figura 1. Intervallo di stabi…
Imágenes posmodernas de la heroína siniestra: los referentes artísticos y su representación en la cultura popular
2021
En esta investigación hemos pretendido averiguar por qué en la cultura visual posmoderna occidental se multiplican imágenes e historias de un tipo de personaje femenino contradictorio y ambiguo, que hemos denominado como heroína siniestra. Una figura contradictoria en sí misma, pues comporta dentro de sí dos tipos de personajes que por definición son opuestos (la mujer siniestra y la heroína), por lo que hemos tenido que indagar primero en la construcción histórica, simbólica y cultural de los dos tipos de personajes de forma separada, para entender así sus características visuales y sus motivaciones psicológicas. Esta primera parte del estudio la planteamos de forma general, aunque analiza…
Le donne non mobbizzano: l'alibi del "gentil sesso"
2012
Un dato diffuso vuole che il maggior numero di persone mobbizzate sia donna. Le statistiche ufficiali sono spesso poco chiare al riguardo; infatti, a seconda della fonte e dei metodi di rilevazione gli indici variano sensibilmente. Le ricerche che riportano la donna come più mobbizzata degli uomini assumono una comprensibile quanto discutibile indignazione che deriverebbe dal concepire l’azione di mobbing sulla donna come una riedizione della discriminazione di genere nel mondo del lavoro, naturalmente a scapito del genere femminile. Nel contributo si esamina come qualsiasi pregiudizio in tal senso non aiuti ad attuare la parità dei generi soprattutto se la rappresentazione sociale di una d…
