Background of INCASI Project H2020-MSCA-RISE-2015 GA 691004. WP1: Compilation Este artículo tiene dos objetivos. En primer lugar, queremos analizar si el peso del origen social de los graduados universitarios influye en la inserción laboral, tomando como indicador los ingresos que obtienen los titulados que trabajan, cuando controlamos la titulación obtenida. En segundo lugar, intentamos observar si los graduados universitarios provenientes de orígenes sociales más desfavorecidos se encuentran más desocupados y más inactivos que los provenientes de hogares con más recursos. Para tal fin analizamos a los titulados que egresaron de universidades públicas catalanas en el curso 2006-2007, entre…
Vulnerability of different nerves to intrafascicular injection by different needle types and at different approach angles: a mathematical model
2019
Background and objectivesWe assume that intrafascicular spread of a solution can only occur if a large enough portion of the distal needle orifice is placed inside the fascicle. Our aim is to present and evaluate a mathematical model that can calculate the theoretical vulnerability of fascicles, analyzing the degree of occupancy of the needle orifice in fascicular tissue by performing simulations of multiple positions that a needle orifice can take inside a cross-sectional nerve area.MethodsWe superimposed microscopic images of two routinely used nerve block needles (22-gauge, 15° needle and 22-gauge, 30° needle) over the microscopic images of cross-sections of four nerve types photographed…
Differential impact of allelic ratio and insertion site in FLT3-ITD-positive AML with respect to allogeneic transplantation.
2014
The objective was to evaluate the prognostic and predictive impact of allelic ratio and insertion site (IS) of internal tandem duplications (ITDs), as well as concurrent gene mutations, with regard to postremission therapy in 323 patients with FLT3-ITD-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Increasing FLT3-ITD allelic ratio (P = .004) and IS in the tyrosine kinase domain 1 (TKD1, P = .06) were associated with low complete remission (CR) rates. After postremission therapy including intensive chemotherapy (n = 121) or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT, n = 17), an allelic ratio ≥ 0.51 was associated with an unfavorable relapse-free (RFS, P = .0008) and overall survival …
Implant-supported overdenture manufactured using CAD/CAM techniques to achieve horizontal path insertion between the primary and secondary structure:…
2015
This report describes the case of an edentulous patient with an atrophic maxilla and severe class III malocclusion. Prosthetic rehabilitation was performed using CAD/CAM techniques for manufacturing an implant-supported overdenture with horizontal insertion. A vestibulo-lingual insertion overdenture is a precision prosthesis with a fixation system affording a good fit between the primary and secondary structure. Both structures exhibit passive horizontal adjustment. This treatment option requires the same number of implants as implant-supported fixed dentures. The horizontal assembly system prevents the prosthesis from loosening or moving in response to axial and non-axial forces. The techn…
Evaluer un dispositif d'accompagnement périscolaire : quelle mobilisation des acteurs pour quels résultats ?
2005
Actes édités sur support cédérom; En 1993, le Conseil Général des Hauts-de-Seine a mis en place un Plan pour la Réussite à l'Ecole et une Meilleure Insertion Sociale (PREMIS). Ce dispositif d'accompagnement péri-scolaire prend place hors du temps scolaire et se destine prioritairement aux collégiens en échec scolaire et/ou manifestant des comportements difficiles sur la base du volontariat. Cette action ne vise pas la remédiation cognitive mais cherche davantage à replacer l'élève sur une trajectoire propice à la réussite scolaire en modifiant ses attitudes à l'école et face aux savoirs. Dix ans après la mise en place de ce projet, la recherche-action engagée avec une équipe de chercheurs c…
The Arabidopsis COPT6 Transport Protein Functions in Copper Distribution Under Copper-Deficient Conditions
2013
Copper (Cu), an essential redox active cofactor, participates in fundamental biological processes, but it becomes highly cytotoxic when present in excess. Therefore, living organisms have established suitable mechanisms to balance cellular and systemic Cu levels. An important strategy to maintain Cu homeostasis consists of regulating uptake and mobilization via the conserved family of CTR/COPT Cu transport proteins. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, COPT1 protein mediates root Cu acquisition, whereas COPT5 protein functions in Cu mobilization from intracellular storage organelles. The function of these transporters becomes critical when environmental Cu bioavailability diminishes. Ho…
Correct oligomerization is a prerequisite for insertion of the central molecular domain of staphylococcal α-toxin into the lipid bilayer
1995
Staphylococcal alpha-toxin is a primarily hydrophilic molecule that binds as a monomer to target membranes and then aggregates to form amphiphilic oligomers that represent water-filled transmembrane channels. Current evidence indicates that a region located in the center of the molecule inserts deeply into the bilayer. In the present study, we sought to determine whether membrane insertion was triggered by the oligomerization process, and whether insertion correlated with pore formation. Double mutants of alpha-toxin were prepared in which His-35 was replaced by Arg, and cysteine residues were introduced at positions 69, 130 and 186. Substitution of His-35 with Arg rendered the toxin molecu…
Rapid Detection of the ERV-K(C4) Retroviral Insertion Reveals Further Structural Polymorphism of the Complement C4 Genes in Old World Primates
2001
The fourth component of complement (C4) is coded for by two tandem-duplicated genes located in the class III region of the MHC of humans as well as a number of primates. A C4 gene size polymorphism giving rise to two gene variants of 16 and 22.3 kb length can be attributed to a complete endogenous retroviral insertion of 6.3 kb termed ERV-K(C4) in intron 9 of the long C4 genes. We developed a simple PCR-based screening assay to detect the presence of this insertion, and tested a number of unrelated animals from old world primate species. The presence of the ERV insertion in the orangutan, rhesus macaque and green monkey as well as its absence in gorillas and chimpanzees could be confirmed. …
La renta mínima como instrumento para combatir la pobreza : el caso de la Comunidad Valenciana
2020
Recientemente, la Comunidad Valenciana ha reformado la renta mínima y ha instaurado la denominada renta valenciana de inclusión (RVI). En este trabajo realizamos una evaluación de este programa utilizando técnicas de microsimulación a partir de microdatos proporcionados por la Administración valenciana.Se hace una descripción del nuevo programa respecto a la anterior renta garantizada de ciudadanía (RGC), que ha mostrado problemas de agotamiento, y se señalan las diferencias más relevantes. A partir de los datos existentes, calculamos el coste presupuestario estimado de la RVI y los efectos de este programa en términos de pobreza y desigualdad. Aunque el gasto se incrementará respecto a la …
NADH dehydrogenase deficiency results in low respiration rate and improved aerobic growth of Zymomonas mobilis.
2008
The respiratory chain of the ethanol-producing bacterium Zymomonas mobilis is able to oxidize both species of nicotinamide cofactors, NADH and NADPH. A mutant strain with a chloramphenicol-resistance determinant inserted in ndh (encoding an NADH : CoQ oxidoreductase of type II) lacked the membrane NADH and NADPH oxidase activities, while its respiratory d-lactate oxidase activity was increased. Cells of the mutant strain showed a very low respiration rate with glucose and no respiration with ethanol. The aerobic growth rate of the mutant was elevated; exponential growth persisted longer, resulting in higher biomass densities. For the parent strain a similar effect of aerobic growth stimulat…
