Ciclo y dinámica económica en Europa
1999
El objeto de estudio de la tesis son los ciclos económicos, realizándose cuatro estudios empíricos utilizando técnicas de series temporales. La tesis consta de cuatro capítulos, a los que se añade un apartado final de conclusiones El objetivo del primer capítulo es determinar si el ciclo económico es un fenómeno con características similares en las principales economías de mercado, para ello se caracterizan las propiedades cíclicas de un grupo amplio de países (países del G-7 más España y Suiza). Adicionalmente, en este capítulo se analiza la robustez de las propiedades cíclicas al método de filtrado, así como la estabilidad temporal de éstas. Los resultados indican que el ciclo es un fenóm…
La teoría de las metas de logro en la formación del maestro en Educación Física: Análisis de un programa de intervención docente.
2005
Esta investigación analiza los efectos de un Programa deIntervención Docente aplicado desde el plan de estudios de Magisterio,especialidad Educación Física y su repercusión sobre los ambientesmotivacionales en clases de Educación física en Escuelas de EducaciónPrimaria.El marco conceptual que se ha utilizado en este estudio es el de laperspectiva de las metas de logro (Ames, 1984, 1992; Dweck, 1986;Maehr, 1984; Maehr y Nicholls, 1980; Nicholls, 1984a, 1984b, 1989,1992). En el ámbito de la Educación Física ha habido muchasintervenciones (Ames, 1992; Ames y Archer, 1989; Treasure, 1993;Treasure y Roberts, 2001) que sirven de precedente para el presentetrabajo. Treasure (1993) demostró que las…
El TEDH y la Contaminación Acústica: Comentario a la STEDH sobre el caso cCuenca Zarzoso C. España
2018
El presente texto analiza el último caso originario de España sobre contaminación acústica y su afección al derecho a la protección de la privacidad reconocido en el artículo 8 CEDH. Se lleva a cabo de manera conjunta con el caso Moreno Gómez, habida cuenta de sus similitudes.
HUMAN SAFETY PERFORMANCE IN HIGH RELIABILITY ORGANIZATIONS: THE CASE OF THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY
2018
Over the last few decades, the study of safety in high reliability organizations has not paid enough attention to the human role and its contribution to a reliable operation. Therefore, the literature about human safety performance is scarce and disjointed. The present paper integrates the existing knowledge on workers’ safety performance in high risk industries, specifically in the nuclear industry. In order to do this, we provide a literature review in which the concept of “safety performance” is clarified, and at the same time, we present the most recent research studies and models on this concept.
Hormone therapy is associated with better body composition and adipokine/glucose profiles
2012
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of preventing the metabolic health consequences of postmenopausal hypogonadism with the use of long-term hormone therapy (HT). Methods: We used a monozygotic co-twin control design including 10 twin pairs (aged 56-62 y) discordant for HT (duration of HT, 2-10 y). In addition, 14 premenopausal women (aged 29-35 y) who did not use HT were studied to evaluate the differences in metabolic health between the premenopausal and postmenopausal states. Body composition was determined, and waist-to-hip ratio was used as an estimate for fat distribution. Serum sex steroids, sex hormone-binding globulin, and serum lipid and glucose profil…
CD4+ CCR5+ and CD4+ CCR3+ lymphocyte subset and monocyte apoptosis in patients with acute visceral leishmaniasis
2004
The potential involvement of apoptosis in the pathogenesis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was examined by studying spontaneous and Leishmania antigen (LAg)-induced apoptosis using cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of Sicilian patients with VL. Results indicate that monocytes and T lymphocytes from acute VL patients show a significantly higher level of apoptosis compared with that observed in healed subjects. The percentage of apoptotic cells was higher in monocytes than in T lymphocytes. T cells involved in programmed cell death (PCD) were mainly of the CD4(+) phenotype. In particular, the T helper 1-type (Th1) subset, as evaluated by chemokine receptor-5 (CCR5) expres…
Increase of CCR7- CD45RA+ CD8 T cells (TEMRA) in Chronic Graft-versus-host Disease
2006
Among the late effects of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD) still remains as the major determinant of long-term outcome and quality of life. The disease typically appears between 3 months to 1.5 years following an allogeneic transplantation and is characterized by symptoms similar to those of autoimmune disease.
Eosinophil-selective mediators in human strongyloidiasis
2006
SUMMARY Strongyloides stercoralis infection is characterized by the production of IgE and eosinophils in peripheral blood. Experimental studies have demonstrated that eosinophils play an important role in protection against Strongyloides stercoralis, but the mechanisms regulating eosinophils are not known. In this study we have focused on analysing the molecules that selectively regulate eosinophil migration, namely eotaxin and interleukin-5 (IL-5), using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in patients with strongyloidiasis. Serum expression of eotaxin and IL-5 were significantly increased in patients compared with the control group. This rise suggests that selective mediators of the eosin…
Chemokines: reliable markers for diagnosis of rejection and inflammation following orthotopic liver transplantation.
2001
The role of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in orthotopic liver transplantation.
2003
Hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury as well as acute graft rejection (RE) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) are associated with leukocyte invasion of the graft. Local synthesis of chemokines is a key reaction in the recruitment and activation of inflammatory leukocytes and consequent liver damage. In this paper we describe the role of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 (CCL2) in human OLT. We investigated the serum CC-chemokine levels for MCP-1 by specific ELISAs after OLT in 105 human liver allografts between September 1997 and January 2001. One hour after reperfusion we saw a significant (t test) increase of MCP-1 in peripheral blood (92.5 +/- 85.8 pg/mL to 774.2 +/- 319.…
