Eklezjalne cele „Pierwszej mowy o pokoju” Grzegorza z Nazjanzu
2020
Spośród trzech mów na temat pokoju pierwszą z nich Grzegorz z Nazjanzu wygłosił najprawdopodobniej w lutym 364 roku. Jej wątkiem wiodącym było przywrócenie pokoju i zgody u zwaśnionych stron we wspólnocie kościelnej Nazjanzu. Powodem sporu okazało się opaczne złożenie podpisu przez Grzegorza Starszego pod wyznaniem wiary, które było w tej miejscowości rozpowszechniane przez ariańskiego przedstawiciela. Dla mówcy podłożem do przywrócenia pokoju były wspólne idee łączące zwaśnione strony, czyli wiara w jednego Boga, zgodne interpretacje zagadnień trynitarnych i pragnienie jedności. Pokój, o który zabiegał Grzegorz, okazał się wartością jednoczącą wszystkich tworzących społeczność kościelną w …
Positive mood induction procedures for virtual environments designed for elderly people
2012
Positive emotions have a significant influence on mental and physical health. Their role in the elderly’s wellbeing has been established in numerous studies. It is therefore worthwhile to explore ways in which elderly people can increase the number of positive experiences in their daily lives. This paper describes two Virtual Environments (VEs) that were used as mood induction procedures (MIPs) for this population. In addition, the VEs’ efficacy at increasing joy and relaxation in elderly users is analyzed. The VEs contain exercises for generating positive-autobiographic memories, mindfulness and slow breathing rhythms. The total sample comprised 18 participants over 55 years old who used t…
Emotion recognition changes in a confinement situation due to COVID-19
2020
Abstract The confinement situation experienced as a result of COVID-19 will have consequences at a psychological level. These consequences can affect emotion recognition because, due to isolation, interactions and social contacts have been drastically reduced. The aim of this study was to find out if there were differences in facial emotion recognition in two groups of young adults, one confined during COVID-19 and the other unconfined. One hundred and sixty-four young adults were tested twice, the first time unconfined, to obtain the baseline, then the sample was divided into two subgroups so that 84 were evaluated in a confined situation and 80 in an unconfined situation. .

Effects of Age and Gender in Emotion Regulation of Children and Adolescents
2020
Emotional regulation, understood as the skills and strategies needed to influence and/or modify the emotional experiences, has a very remarkable implication within numerous emotional and behavioral disorders in childhood and adolescence. In recent years there has been a significant increase in research on emotional regulation, however, the results are still divergent in terms of differences in emotional regulation in relation to age and gender. This study aimed to assess emotional regulation in adolescents in relation to their age and gender. Two hundred and fifty-four adolescents from eight schools in the Valencian Community and aged between 9 and 16 years participated in the study. The ad…
Estudio computacional de ADN-Metiltransferasas. Análisis del mecanismo epigenético de metilación del ADN.
2015
La presente Tesis Doctoral se ha centrado en el estudio de la familia de enzimas ADN-Metiltransferasas (ADN-MTasas) mediante la metodología de la Dinámica Molecular (MD) y la metodología híbrida Mecánica Cuántica/Mecánica Molecular (QM/MM). Las ADN-MTasas catalizan la transferencia de un grupo metilo a una base nucleica objetivo del ADN. La transferencia de metilo tiene lugar desde el cofactor, S-adenosil-Lmetionina (SAM), a una base adenina o citosina que forma parte de una secuencia específica de bases nucleicas que son reconocidas por la enzima. Mediante la metilación de las bases nucleicas se puede codificar nueva información de manera estable pero reversible, siendo posible ampliar el …
Radiation damage in the DNA/RNA nucleobases: A theoretical study
2015
La comprensión de los mecanismos de daño en el DNA/RNA inducidos por luz UV y en condiciones de estrés reductor fue el principal objetivo de esta tesis. Para ello se usaron en monómeros y dímeros el método espacio activo complete campo autoconsistente / espacio activo completo teoría de perturbaciones hasta segundo orden de espacio activo complete(CASSCF/CASPT2) y estrategias computacionales precisas de determinación del camino de reacción. En cuanto al daño inducido por la luz UV en el ADN/ARN, hemos estudiado la fotoproducción de dímeros de pirimidina ciclobutano (CPDs) en nucleobases apiladas a través de las vías singlet y triplete. Estos mecanismos de fotodimerización son iniciados por …
Validation and application of a PCR primer set to quantify fungal communities in the soil environment by real-time quantitative PCR
2011
Fungi constitute an important group in soil biological diversity and functioning. However, characterization and knowledge of fungal communities is hampered because few primer sets are available to quantify fungal abundance by real-time quantitative PCR (real-time Q-PCR). The aim in this study was to quantify fungal abundance in soils by incorporating, into a real-time Q-PCR using the SYBRGreen (R) method, a primer set already used to study the genetic structure of soil fungal communities. To satisfy the real-time Q-PCR requirements to enhance the accuracy and reproducibility of the detection technique, this study focused on the 18S rRNA gene conserved regions. These regions are little affec…
That Crazy World We’ll Live in : Emotions and Anticipations of Radical Future Technology Design
2020
Humans behave towards and experience technological design in conflicting and contradictory ways. On the one hand, the very mention of the word ‘future’ conjures expectations of the radically new and unexpected. On the other hand, previous research has shown that people have a threshold for the level of change and the unexpected that they can cope with. Their expectations are dominated by mental images of familiar associations with what has been previously associated with the future. As a rule, humans cope with incremental changes, yet have difficulty accepting the entirely unfamiliar. This makes it harder to imagine a future of radical technology design and interactions, particularly when a…
“Tuvu attiecību” definēšanas principi geju un lesbiešu skatījumā
2017
Bakalaura darbā “”Tuvu attiecību” definēšanas principi geju un lesbiešu skatījumā” pētītas radniecīgu vai radniecībai ļoti līdzīgu attiecību definēšanas un veidošanas prakses geju un lesbiešu vidū, pievēršot uzmanību tam, kādas nozīmes tuvībai un tuvām attiecībām tiek piešķirtas. Tuvība un tuvas attiecības, kas sadzīves realitātē bieži tiek skatītas kā pašsaprotamas parādības, kas pastāv personas privātajā telpā un neprasa plašāku refleksiju kultūrsociālā kontekstā, pētījumā tiek aplūkotas kā kompleksi fenomeni, kurus nav iespējams definēt tikai privātajā vai tikai publiskajā telpā. Tuvību nosaka gan dziļi subjektīvas emocionālas, gan kultūrsociālas un politiskas kategorijas. Lauka darbā ti…
Recurrent domestication by Lepidoptera of genes from their parasites mediated by Bracoviruses
2015
Bracoviruses are symbiotic viruses associated with tens of thousands of species of parasitic wasps that develop within the body of lepidopteran hosts and that collectively parasitize caterpillars of virtually every lepidopteran species. Viral particles are produced in the wasp ovaries and injected into host larvae with the wasp eggs. Once in the host body, the viral DNA circles enclosed in the particles integrate into lepidopteran host cell DNA. Here we show that bracovirus DNA sequences have been inserted repeatedly into lepidopteran genomes, indicating this viral DNA can also enter germline cells. The original mode of Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) unveiled here is based on the integrativ…
