Efficacy and safety of bempedoic acid for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2020
Background Bempedoic acid is a first-in-class lipid-lowering drug recommended by guidelines for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Our objective was to estimate its average effect on plasma lipids in humans and its safety profile. Methods and findings We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase II and III randomized controlled trials on bempedoic acid (PROSPERO: CRD42019129687). PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases were searched, with no language restriction, from inception to 5 August 2019. We included 10 RCTs (n = 3,788) comprising 26 arms (active arm [n = 2,460]; control arm [n = 1,328]). Effect sizes for changes in lipids and high-…
Exploring the “Cozy Cabal of Academics, Dealers and Collectors” through the Schøyen Collection
2020
In the wake of the trade in ancient materials, several ethical and political issues arise that merit concern: The decimation of the cultural heritage of war-torn countries, proliferation of corruption, ideological connotations of orientalism, financial support of terrorism, and participation in networks involved in money laundering, weapon sales, human trafficking and drugs. Moreover, trafficking and trading also have a harmful effect on the fabric of academia itself. This study uses open sources to track the history of the private Schø
Teaching Archaeological Heritage Management: Towards a Change in Paradigms
2018
The concept of archaeological heritage management (AHM) has been key to wider archaeological research and preservation agendas for some decades. Many universities and other education providers now offer what is best termed heritage management education (HME) in various forms. The emphasis is commonly on archaeological aspects of heritage in a broad sense and different terms are often interchangeable in practice. In an innovative working-conference held in Tampere, Finland, we initiated a debate on what the components of AHM as a course or curriculum should include. We brought together international specialists and discussed connected questions around policy, practice, research and teaching/…
La dimensione giuridica dell'etica militare
2020
Unlike what happens for the civil administration, in which it conforms exclusively from a reputational perspective, the legal dimension of military ethics has a profile of characterization related, not only to the functions attributed to the Armed Forces, but, more precisely, to the role that they have in the constitutional structure. Military ethics has, in fact, an external declination, based on the neutrality of the military instrument with respect to political dynamics as an institution of guarantee and defense of republican institutions; and an internal, intimate interpretation connected to the organization as a factor of cohesion and functionality of the same in the framework designed…

Commuting accidents of Spanish professional drivers: when occupational risk exceeds the workplace
2019
Background. Work traffic accidents are an issue both in Spain and all over the world, and specific evidence on commuting accidents is scarce. Even though both industrial safety and welfare have been improved during the last decades, the commuting accidents rate is growing worldwide. Purpose. The aim of this study was to examine and describe the characteristics of commuting traffic crashes of Spanish professional drivers. Materials and methods. For this cross-sectional study, commuting accidents suffered by drivers during the last 12 years were analyzed. Crossed and heatmap-based analyses were performed in order to establish patterns and driver-based differences among commuting crashes. Resu…
Neuroética: ¿Las bases cerebrales de una ética universal con relevancia política?
2010
At the beginning of the XXI century neuroethics was born as a part of bioethics and also as a new kind of knowledge, capable of discovering the neural basis of the human behaviour. From that basis some neuroscientists intend to outline the foundations for a universal ethics. The article 1) analyses critically the process of foundation of such universal ethics, 2) takes into account the human cooperation paradox in order to complete the process, 3) tries to evaluate the contributions of neuroethics to ethics and its suitability to outline the foundations of a universal ethics.<br><br>En el siglo XXI nace la neurociencia de la ética con la pretensión de ser un nuevo saber (la neur…
Локус субъективного контроля и библейские максимы (Locus of subjective control and bible maximums)
2008
В статье рассматриваются интернальность и экстернальность как внутренние стратегии отношения личности к миру на фоне двух основных библейских заповедей: Моисеевой заповеди справедливости – правилом талиона, и золотым правилом – христианской заповеди любви. Сопоставляя обе заповеди по параметру их преимущественной активности, становится очевидным, что правило талиона отличает сравнительное «отставание» - его реактивность на вызовы внешней среды, что отчасти связывает его с экстернальностью. «Золотое правило», в целом, должно быть охарактеризовано как инициативная позиция личности, что сближает его с понятием интернальности.
