Is immunotherapy an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease?
2004
Abstract Immunotherapy in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is rapidly becoming a hot topic of modern geriatric and clinical gerontology. Current views see immunization with Aβ peptide, the amyloidogenic protein found in senile plaque of AD patient's brains, or the infusion of preformed antibody specific for human Aβ, as possible therapeutic approaches to improve the cognitive status in the disease. Animal models of the disease have provided positive results from both approaches. Thus, an initial clinical trial using immunization with human Aβ in AD patients was started, but then shortly halted because of an unusually high incidence (6%) of meningoencephalitis. A long and currently ong…
Los derechos sucesorios del viudo en Vizcaya y Ayala (II)
2012
Dentro de la pluralidad de legislaciones civiles que conviven en España, el modelo vasco se convierte en paradigma de la idea, defendida doctrinalmente, de que en aquellos sistemas en los que el régimen económico matrimonial es el de separación de bienes, suelen concederse amplios derechos sucesorios al viudo, mientras que, en aquellos que parten de un sistema de comunidad, los derechos mortis causa que se le conceden o no existen, o son mínimos, puesto que la protección a su posible situación de desvalimiento se obtiene ya a través del régimen económico matrimonial. Éste es el caso del País Vasco, donde rige un sistema legal de comunidad como es el de comunicación foral de bienes. La exist…

2015
Carbó reviews every book of poetry by Carles Salvador from Plàstic (1923), to El fang i l’esperit (1952), through which he traces –in both general and specific terms– the evolution of Salvador and his contributions to the renovation of Valencian lyrics in Catalan during the crucial decades.
Juan Luis Vives ante la Fortuna
2011
En el presente artículo se analiza la significación ética y política de los conceptos de fortuna y providencia en Juan Luis Vives. A través de ellos se materializan dos antropologías distintas encarnadas respectivamente en N. Maquiavelo y el propio J.L. Vives. Un punto de cruce entre ambas visiones de la realidad es el Lazarillo de Tormes en el que una fortuna dominada por el esfuerzo deriva en un éxito que no es más que una indignidad moral. En Vives la actitud razonable no es vivir dominando la fortuna, sino vivir por encima de la fortuna. Es en ese punto donde emerge la providencia como el cuidado amoroso que conduce al ser humano al conócete a ti mismo. In the present paper we analyze t…
Is fatherhood allowed? : Media discourses of fatherhood in organizational life
2019
It has been claimed that in the context of organizations and management, fathers are invisible. One source of tension for fathers who work and who want to participate in family life is that even though involved fatherhood is emerging in many western societies, a family-oriented male identity is likely to be problematic for men in organizations. This article aims to contribute to a better understanding of a professional and managerial men's work-family relationship using discourse analysis on data from three different media sources in Finland, published during 1990-2015. We identified two competing discourses: one of stasis, the other of change. The stasis discourse is constructed around tra…

Ancora sui limiti del criterio letterale nell'interpretazione della legge penale: le Sezioni unite "contestualizzano" l'inapplicabilità dell'aggravan…
2010
Le Sezioni unite della Cassazione confermano l'applicabilità della circostanza aggravante, prevista dall'art. 7 d.l. n. 152/1991 conv. nella l. 203/1991, ai delitti punibili in astratto con l'ergastolo, qualora in concreto venga comminata una pena diversa da quella perpetua. Nel commento alla sentenza, viene preliminarmente ricostruito il contrasto giurisprudenziale sul punto e ripercorso l'iter logico-giuridico della decisione. A partire da alcune riflessioni che la sentenza suggerisce in merito all'interpretazione della legge penale, specie in relazione ai limiti del c.d. criterio letterale, il commento considera la decisione delle Sezioni unite fondata sul rifiuto di una lettura "atomist…
Closed due to COVID-19: effects of indoor sports restrictions on suburban adults’ physical activity behaviours
2023
During the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been required adaptations in leisure-time physical activity (PA) especially due to restrictive policies concerning indoor sport facilities (ISF). This study investigated the effects of the constraints on ISF among residents of two low socioeconomic status suburbs in Finland. Research questions were: (1) Are sociodemographic characteristics associated with a reduced use of ISF during the pandemic? (2) Are sociodemographic characteristics associated with changes in the overall PA amount among those respondents with a reduced use of ISF? (3) Is the reduced use of ISF associated with an increased use of other PA environments (home environment, built out…
CareACT - internet-based intervention for enhancing the psychological well-being of elderly caregivers – a study protocol of a controlled trial
2019
Abstract Background The rapid increase in the number of elderly family caregivers underlines the need for new support systems. Internet-delivered psychological interventions are a potential approach, as they are easy to access for family caregivers who are often homebound with their care recipient. This study examines the relative effectiveness of an internet-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) intervention or a standardized institutional rehabilitation program, first, in reducing depressive symptoms, and second, in improving the well-being and quality of life of elderly family caregivers compared to a control group receiving support from voluntary family caregiver associations.
