Odyssey Towards a Sirenic Thinking: An Attempt at a Self-Criticism of the Listening Paradigm Within Sound Studies
2021
Abstract This text departs from a contradictory claim in deaf studies and sound studies: both disciplines describe a hierarchical regime of the sensible – visuocentrism and audiocentrism – which they try to counter with conceptualisations as “acoustemology” or “deaf gain.” However, as we argue, they both thereby erect what they claim to overcome: a sensual regime that privileges one sense over another and a restricted conception of subjectivity deriving from it. First, we draw a philosophical line in the critique of sensual regimes. Then we propose a figure for the transcendence of the separation of the sensible: in re-reading of the myth of Odysseus and the sirens, we engage various exampl…
Predicting habitat suitability for Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Finland
2022
AbstractBackgroundTicks are responsible for transmitting several notable pathogens worldwide. Finland lies in a zone where two human-biting tick species co-occur:IxodesricinusandIxodespersulcatus. Tick densities have increased in boreal regions worldwide during past decades, and tick-borne pathogens have been identified as one of the major threats to public health in the face of climate change.MethodsWe used species distribution modelling techniques to predict the distributions ofI.ricinusandI.persulcatus,using aggregated historical data from 2014 to 2020 and new tick occurrence data from 2021. By aiming to fill the gaps in tick occurrence data, we created a new sampling strategy across Fin…
The Fate of Bacteriophages in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)—Towards Developing Phage Therapy for RAS
2019
Aquaculture production has increased tremendously during the last decades, and new techniques have been developed, e.g., recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). In RAS, the majority of water volume is circulated via mechanical and biological filters and reused in the tanks. However, the prevention and treatment of diseases in these systems are challenging, as the pathogens spread throughout the system, and the addition of chemicals and antibiotics disrupts the microbiome of the biofilters. The increasing antibiotic resistance has made phage therapy a relevant alternative for antibiotics in food production. Indeed, as host-specific and self-replicating agent they might be optimal for target…
Serological Follow-Up Study Indicates High Seasonal Coronavirus Infection and Reinfection Rates in Early Childhood
2022
Seasonal human coronaviruses (HCoVs) cause respiratory infections, especially in children. Currently, the knowledge on early childhood seasonal coronavirus infections and the duration of antibody levels following the first infections is limited. Here we analyzed serological follow-up samples to estimate the rate of primary infection and reinfection(s) caused by seasonal coronaviruses in early childhood. Serum specimens were collected from 140 children at ages of 13, 24, and 36 months (1, 2, and 3 years), and IgG antibody levels against recombinant HCoV nucleoproteins (N) were measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Altogether, 84% (118/140) of the children were seropositive for at least one s…
Cinesiterapia global en la enfermedad arterial periférica
2010
En el caso de la cinesiterapia global indicada en la enfermedad arterial periférica, se incluye el protocolo de marcha a velocidad y/o inclinación programadas. Éste busca incrementar progresivamente la distancia recorrida hasta la aparición de dolor claudicante, y en el se distinguen tres fases diferenciadas: el calentamiento, la pauta de esfuerzo y el enfriamiento.
Prueba de Ratschow-Börger

La prueba de Ratschow-Börger permite valorar la presencia de un compromiso isquémico de miembros inferiores.
Test de marcha en cinta rodante
2010
El test de marcha en cinta rodante es un test de trabajo incremental que es muy utilizado, tanto para el diagnóstico como para el tratamiento de los pacientes con claudicación intermitente.
Optimization of care through film music: practices in Secondary Education
2015
La estimulación del alumnado con Trastorno por Déficit de Atención debe implicar una activación del proceso cognitivo, físico y motor. El proceso metodológico que se propone para garantizar dicha estimulación atencional en el aula de Secundaria se centra en la audición, el movimiento, la composición y la improvisación a partir de música cinematográfica. La utilización de este tipo de música más próxima al alumnado supone un aumento de las posibilidades de cambio y la mejora de las respuestas de aprendizaje significativo, debido a la optimización de la atención a través de actividades musicales, más atractivas para el alumnado. Abstract: Stimulation of students with Attention Deficit Disorde…
Optical-data storage-readout technique based on fractal encrypting masks
2009
We propose the use of fractal structured diffractive masks as keys in secure storage-readout systems. A joint transform correlator based on a photorefractive crystal in the Fourier domain is implemented to perform encryption and decryption. We discuss the advantages of encrypting information using this kind of deterministic keys in comparison to conventional random phase masks. Preliminary experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.
Action in Perception: Prominent Visuo-Motor Functional Symmetry in Musicians during Music Listening.
2015
Musical training leads to sensory and motor neuroplastic changes in the human brain. Motivated by findings on enlarged corpus callosum in musicians and asymmetric somatomotor representation in string players, we investigated the relationship between musical training, callosal anatomy, and interhemispheric functional symmetry during music listening. Functional symmetry was increased in musicians compared to nonmusicians, and in keyboardists compared to string players. This increased functional symmetry was prominent in visual and motor brain networks. Callosal size did not significantly differ between groups except for the posterior callosum in musicians compared to nonmusicians. We conclude…
