Experimental studies at JYFLTRAP
2007
JYFLTRAP is a Penning trap system at the accelerator laboratory in Jyvaskyla, Finland that enables high-precision experiments with stored, exotic species that are produced at the IGISOL facility. On one hand, these can be performed within the trap itself, like e.g. mass spectrometry. On the other hand, the trap can be used to provide the highly purified species for further experiments, e.g. for trap-assisted nuclear decay spectroscopy. This contribution focuses on these two possible applications with the presentation of some recent results on superallowed beta decays.
Normal and Abnormal Tissue Classification in Positron Emission Tomography Oncological Studies
2018
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging is increasingly used in radiotherapy environment as well as for staging and assessing treatment response. The ability to classify PET tissues, as normal versus abnormal tissues, is crucial for medical analysis and interpretation. For this reason, a system for classifying PET area is implemented and validated. The proposed classification is carried out using k-nearest neighbor (KNN) method with the stratified K-Fold Cross-Validation strategy to enhance the classifier reliability. A dataset of eighty oncological patients are collected for system training and validation. For every patient, lesion (abnormal tissue) and background (normal tissue around …
What is a tree in the Mediterranean Basin hotspot? A critical analysis
2019
Background: Tree species represent 20% of the vascular plant species worldwide and they play a crucial role in the global functioning of the biosphere. The Mediterranean Basin is one of the 36 world biodiversity hotspots, and it is estimated that forests covered 82% of the landscape before the first human impacts, thousands of years ago. However, the spatial distribution of the Mediterranean biodiversity is still imperfectly known, and a focus on tree species constitutes a key issue for understanding forest functioning and develop conservation strategies. Methods: We provide the first comprehensive checklist of all native tree taxa (species and subspecies) present in the Mediterranean-Europ…

Discrepancy between individual and organizational values : occupational burnout and work engagement among white-collar workers
2013
Abstract This pilot study aimed to investigate the level of discrepancy between individual and organizational values, and assessed its impact on white-collar workers' job burnout and work engagement. The study examined the hypothesis that the better the fit between individual and organizational values, the higher the work engagement and the lower the risk of professional burnout. The modified Schwartz's typology of values, focusing on work related issues, was used as a framework for the study. Also, organizational level analysis was incorporated into the study questionnaire in order to capture the potential mismatch effect between the person and his or her work environment. A total of 480 w…
Corroborar llegendes, invocar imatges, renovar la memòria i presentar models. El valor dels goigs en la religiositat valenciana durant la Contrarefor…
2015
Resum: El present article aplica el metode de Pafnosky a l’analisi dels goigs durant el periode de la Contrareforma a Valencia. Determina, amb independencia de la seua forma poeticomusical i melodia, quina va estar la funcio cultural, centrant-nos en quatre exemples diferents. Es confronten les idees subjacents amb altres expressions culturals coetanies –textos historics, hagiografics i devocionals i obres pictoriques-, i s’estableix la relacio reciproca entre els valors culturals del goigs i els de la societat que els genera, demostrant que no foren expressio ingenua de la devocio popular, sino versions reduides i assequibles dels les erudites hagiografies i histories d’imatges i, per tant…
¿Qué creen? No soy chismoso pero…. Mexican gossip: Affiliation or self-interest?
2017
Whilst being taken more seriously, especially in anthropological and sociological studies, gossip is still often regarded trivial and of little academic research interest. Given that it is unstoppable, persistent and often enjoyable (Epstein, 2011), gossip has been examined in terms of function (e.g. talk about intimate matters to express shared values) and as a form of communication *for example, to express resistance (Goodman & Ben-Ze’ev, 1994). In this chapter, I examine the importance of gossip in the Mexican context. In Mexico, gossip has been examined in terms of function e.g. (Hagene, 2010), situation (Vázquez Garcia y Chávez Arellano, 2008) and resistance (Vázquez García 2007). …
The role of news values in the discur-sive construction of the Brexit refer-endum in the UK press
2022
El objetivo principal de este estudio es explorar el discurso periodístico de la campaña del referéndum del Brexit en Reino Unido desde la perspectiva de los estudios del discurso asistidos por corpus (CADS). En concreto, se analiza cómo se construyeron discursivamente diferentes temas y debates relacionados con el Brexit en la cobertura de la prensa británica de calidad durante la campaña del referéndum. Asimismo, se investigan las diferencias ideológicas en la construcción discursiva de dicha cobertura según las afiliaciones políticas (izquierda-derecha) y las posturas ideológicas hacia el Brexit (Bandos de Salida-Permanencia). Para ello, se recopiló un corpus de cuatro diarios británicos…
Encuentro de servicio, valor percibido y satisfacción del cliente en la relación entre empresas
2005
Irene.Gil@uv.es Gloria.Berenguer@uv.es La literatura en marketing de servicios ha argumentado que el proceso de servicio puede ser el antecedente más importante de la evaluacióm del cliente sobre el resultado del servicio y que en ese juicio evaluativo último, el valor del servicio adquiere un papel esencial. Sin embargo, la naturaleza de este proceso de formación no ha sido extensamente estudiada, especialmente, en un contexto de relación interorganizativa. El presente estudio intenta contribuir al conocimiento de cómo el encuentro de servicio y el valor del servicio, contribuyen a aumentar la satisfacción del cliente. El trabajo explora la relación entre ambos, analizando el caso de una o…
A combination of umbilical artery PI and normalized blood flow volume in the umbilical vein: Venous–arterial index for the prediction of fetal outcome
2008
Abstract Objective The objective was to assess the diagnostic power of the umbilical venous–arterial index (VAI) as a combination of the pulsatility index in the umbilical artery and the normalized blood flow volume in the umbilical vein for the prediction of poor fetal outcome. Study design This was a prospective clinical study in which the umbilical artery PI (UAPI), the normalized umbilical vein blood volume flow rate ( n UV; ml/min/kg estimated fetal body weight), the venous–arterial index (VAI; n UV/UAPI), and the pulsatility index (PI) in the umbilical artery (UA), uterine artery (utA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), and aorta were determined in 181 fetuses once (at between 17 and 41 w…
