Caracterización de las empresas de economía social en la Comunidad Valenciana: nuevos yacimientos de empleo, competencias y perfiles profesionales
2017
El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las principales características de las empresas de Economía Social en la Comunidad Valenciana, con el fin de generar oportunidades de formación, empleo y emprendimiento. Algunas investigaciones en otras regiones españolas permitieron obtener una visión integral de las empresas de Economía Social, identificar los perfiles profesionales, competencias y los Nuevos Yacimientos de Empleo en esas Comunidades Autónomas. No obstante, los escasos estudios que existen en la Comunidad Valenciana acerca de los efectos de la crisis económica sobre las cooperativas y Sociedades Laborales, los perfiles profesionales, competencias y Nuevos Yacimientos de Empleo en…
Oral lesions and immune status of HIV infected adults from eastern Nepal
2013
Objective: To document the prevalence, age and gender distribution of oral lesions in HIV infected adults and the influence of highly active antiretroviral therapy and correlate them to the immune status of the patients. Materials and Methods: Oral lesions were diagnosed by a detailed physical examination by trained and calibrated examiners according to the case definitions established by the Oral HIV/AIDS research alliance. Demographic details, risk behavior patterns and oral symptoms and habits were collected by a questionnaire. Results: 81 patients; 54 men and 27 women aged between 20 ' 55 years participated in the study. A total of 49 patients; 60.5% had some oral lesion when examined. …
La incorporación de la perspectiva de género en la docencia universitaria del Grado en Relaciones Laborales y Recursos Humanos de la Universitat de V…
2020
[ES] En esta comunicación presentamos el Projecte d’Innovació Docent (PID) interuniversitari «Incorporar la Perspectiva de Gènere en la Docència Universitària del Grau en Relacions Laborals com a element d’Innovació i Pràctica de bona ciència» desarrollado en la Universitat de València. Este PID nace con la intención de dar impulso a la implantación de la perspectiva de género, de forma transversal, en la enseñanza del Grado en Relaciones Laborales y Recursos Humanos. Incorporar la perspectiva de género es necesario para formar profesionales en el mundo del trabajo. Los análisis de género con carácter integral son un elemento de Innovación de última generación que están logrando dar respues…
Biochemical Characterization of a Novel Channel-Activating Site on Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
1993
We have studied the interaction of the reversible acetylcholine esterase inhibitor (-)physostigmine and several structurally related compounds with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) from Torpedo marmorata electric tissue by means of ligand-induced ion flux into nAChR-rich membrane vesicles, direct binding studies and photoaffinity labeling. (-)Physostigmine acts as a channel-activating ligand at low concentrations and as a direct channel blocker at elevated concentrations. Channel activation is not inhibited by desensitizing concentrations of ACh or ACh-competitive ligands (including alpha-bungarotoxin and D-tubocurarine) but is inhibited by antibody FK1 and several other compoun…
Identification of Purine Binding Sites on Torpedo Acetylcholine Receptor
1994
Electrophysiological studies from this and other laboratories have suggested a direct action of ATP on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). To determine the site of binding of this purine derivative, we have covalently modified the nAChR from Torpedo marmorata electrocytes employing 2-[3H]-8-azido-ATP as a photoactivable affinity label. Covalently attached radioactivity was predominantly found in the beta-polypeptide of the receptor. Based on the results of protection studies with several nAChR ligands whose target sites at the receptor are known, we conclude that the purine site(s) differ from those of acetylcholine and of physostigmine, galanthamine and related ligands, and those of…
Approaching ‘kit-type’ labelling with 68Ga : the DATA chelators.
2015
The DATA chelators are a novel class of tri-anionic ligands based on 6-amino-1,4-diazepine-triacetic acid, which have been introduced recently for the chelation of (68)Ga. Compared with macrocyclic chelators based on the cyclen scaffold (i.e., DOTA, DO3A, and DO2A derivatives), DATA chelators undergo quantitative radiolabelling more rapidly and under milder conditions. In this study, a systematic evaluation of the labelling of four DATA chelators--DATA(M), DATA(P), DATA(Ph), and DATA(PPh)--with (68)Ga is presented. The results highlight the extraordinary potential of this new class of chelators for application in molecular imaging using (68)Ga positron emission tomography (PET).
Photochemical and photobiological studies with acridine and phenanthridine hydroperoxides in cell-free DNA.
1997
The acridine and phenanthridine hydroperoxides 3 and 7 were synthesized as photochemical hydroxyl radical sources for oxidative DNA damage studies. The generation of hydroxyl radicals upon UVA irradiation (lambda = 350 nm) was verified by trapping experiments with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide and benzene. The enzymatic assays of the damage in cell-free DNA from bacteriophage PM2 caused by the acridine and phenanthridine hydroperoxides 3 and 7 under near-UVA irradiation revealed a wide range of DNA modifications. Particularly, extensive single-strand break formation and DNA base modifications sensitive to formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (Fpg protein) were observed. In the photooxidat…
NODAPA-OH and NODAPA-(NCS)n: Synthesis, 68Ga-radiolabelling and in vitro characterisation of novel versatile bifunctional chelators for molecular ima…
2008
This report concerns synthesis, (68)Ga-radiolabelling and stability data of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4-diacetic acid-7-p-isothio-cyanatophenyl-acetic acid (NODAPA-NCS), 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1-acetic acid-4,7-di-p-isothiocyanatophenyl-acetic acid (NODAPA-(NCS)(2)) and 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4-diacetic acid-7-p-hydroxyphenyl-acetic acid (NODAPA-OH), versatile bifunctional chelators with potential for molecular imaging. Protein binding and exemplified conjugation are also reported.
Recombinant water-soluble chlorophyll protein from Brassica oleracea var. Botrys binds various chlorophyll derivatives.
2003
A gene coding for water-soluble chlorophyll-binding protein (WSCP) from Brassica oleracea var. Botrys has been used to express the protein, extended by a hexahistidyl tag, in Escherichia coli. The protein has been refolded in vitro to study its pigment binding behavior. Recombinant WSCP was found to bind two chlorophylls (Chls) per tetrameric protein complex but no carotenoids in accordance with previous observations with the native protein [Satoh, H., Nakayama, K., Okada, M. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 30568-30575]. WSCP binds Chl a, Chl b, bacteriochlorophyll a, and the Zn derivative of Chl a but not pheophytin a, indicating that the central metal ion in Chl is essential for binding. WSCP …
Biotin-Labelled and Photoactivatable Aldosterone and Progesterone Derivatives as Ligands for Affinity Chromatography, Fluorescence Immunoassays and P…
1996
New derivatives of progesterone and aldosterone were synthesized and functionally tested with commercially available antibodies. The covalent labelling of antibodies specific for aldosterone and progesterone was detected by SDS/PAGE analysis and subsequent autoradiography after using 3-(O-carboxymethyl)-oximino-(3-[125I]iodo-4-azidosalicylamidobu tylamine) derivatives of aldosterone and progesterone, respectively, as photoactivatable radioligands. Labelling was not observed in the presence of an excess of the unlabelled steroid. Aldosterone was labelled with biotin and used as a tracer in a time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay. The nonradioactive tracer is highly selective for its antibod…
