What makes music emotionally significant? Exploring the underlying mechanisms
2013
A common approach to study emotional reactions to music is to attempt to obtain direct links between musical surface features such as tempo and a listener’s response. However, such an analysis ultimately fails to explain why emotions are aroused in the listener. In this article, we propose an alternative approach, which seeks to explain musical emotions in terms of a set of underlying mechanisms that are activated by different types of information in musical events. We illustrate this approach by reporting a listening experiment, which manipulated a piece of music to activate four mechanisms: brain stem reflex; emotional contagion; episodic memory; and musical expectancy. The musical excer…
Genre-adaptive Semantic Computing and Audio-based Modelling for Music Mood Annotation
2016
This study investigates whether taking genre into account is beneficial for automatic music mood annotation in terms of core affects valence, arousal, and tension, as well as several other mood scales. Novel techniques employing genre-adaptive semantic computing and audio-based modelling are proposed. A technique called the ACTwg employs genre-adaptive semantic computing of mood-related social tags, whereas ACTwg-SLPwg combines semantic computing and audio-based modelling, both in a genre-adaptive manner. The proposed techniques are experimentally evaluated at predicting listener ratings related to a set of 600 popular music tracks spanning multiple genres. The results show that ACTwg outpe…
Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the tonsil: A new management
2015
Introduction: Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare tumor of all plasma cell neoplasms. The tumor is mainly localized in the head and neck region, but rarely involving the tonsil. Case presentation: The authors report the 5th case of EMP of the tonsil in the literature occurred in a 57-year-old Caucasian male. Conclusions: Through a review of the relevant literature, we consider adjuvant radiotherapy not necessary for EMP of tonsil because of an adequate resection achieved by surgery.
Determinantes de la calidad de vida percibida por los ancianos de una residencia de tercera edad en dos contextos socioculturales diferentes, España …
2009
La Tesis, analiza la influencia de diferentes variables sobre el nivel de calidad de vida que perciben los residentes de dos residencias de tercera edad ubicadas en España y Cuba respectivamente. La combinación de métodos de análisis cuantitativos y cualitativos para analizar la salud, la capacidad funcional, la dotación estructural y los recursos de ambos centros, así como las relaciones, las actividades diarias y la satisfacción con la vida, es uno de los aspectos más destacables de la investigación y trata de comprobar si la calidad de vida de las personas que viven en residencias de tercera edad, depende más directamente de los aspectos materiales y estructurales del centro o de otros a…
La responsabilidad de los trabajadores en materia de prevención de riesgos laborales.
2007
Actualmente, uno de los ámbitos más estudiados es la materia de prevención de riesgos laborales, especialmente, las obligaciones y responsabilidades del empresario. De hecho, la Ley de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales dedica gran parte de su articulado a las obligaciones que tiene el empresario. Sin embargo, esto no debe conducir al equívoco de que el único sujeto obligado es el empresario, pues existe una segunda realidad, muchas veces desconocida, ya que los trabajadores son sujetos sobre los que también pesan obligaciones en la prevención de los riesgos laborales. Por ello, el objetivo principal de esta tesis es analizar los diferentes tipos de responsabilidad en que puede incurrir el tra…

Fibroblast growth factor-21 enhances mitochondrial functions and increases the activity of PGC-1α in human dopaminergic neurons via Sirtuin-1
2014
Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunctions accompany several neurodegenerative disorders and contribute to disease pathogenesis among others in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) is a major regulator of mitochondrial functions and biogenesis, and was suggested as a therapeutic target in PD. PGC-1α is regulated by both transcriptional and posttranslational events involving also the action of growth factors. Fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21) is a regulator of glucose and fatty acid metabolism in the body but little is known about its action in the brain. We show here that FGF21 increased the levels and activity of PGC-1α and elevated mito…
