Antropologia filosòfica i literatura: G. Anders interpreta S. Beckett
2004
Abstract: This paper is intended to stress the importance of studying the relationship between philosophy and literature, or, to put it more precisely, between philosophical anthropology and contemporary dramaturgy. To this purpose, it analyses a deep text that has gone largely unnoticed up to now, namely the interpretation, elaborated in 1955 by the writer and thinker Günther Anders, of one of the most radical and innovative revolutions in contemporary drama: Samuel Beckett’s En attendant Godot (Waiting for Godot). In addition to introducing the life and work of Anders’s, this paper presents the different sections of the central chapter of his most important work, Die Antiquierheit des Men…
El poder representado: Alfonso V el Magnánimo (1416-1458)
2015
La tesis se enmarca en el campo de investigación de la representación del poder político. Se estudia la construcción de la estructura representativa o discurso de la imagen de la monarquía en el ámbito de la Corona de Aragón, en el período de transición de los modelos medievales de representación a los modernos que el Humanismo italiano recupera de la Antigüedad en el siglo XV, a través del caso excepcional de Alfonso V el Magnánimo, desde su advenimiento al trono de Aragón en 1416 hasta su fallecimiento en 1458. La investigación se concentra en el análisis de todos los testimonios materiales conservados en los que aparece representado el soberano o alguno de sus símbolos: los manuscritos c…
Adaptación de tres variables contextuales en estudiantes universitarios argentinos
2017
Una de las dificultades que han presentado los estudios destinados a identificar las causas de deserción universitaria es la falta de consideración de variables sociales/contextuales que, según se ha demostrado en la literatura, se relacionan con el proceso de progresión de la carrera. Para la evaluación de dichas variables, el primer paso consiste en la adaptación de pruebas que permitan su medición. Por lo cual, el objetivo del presente trabajo consistió en la adaptación de las escalas de Apertura a la Diversidad, Percepción de Prejuicios y Discriminación y Experiencias Académicas. En este estudio participaron 1295 estudiantes que se encontraban cursando diferentes carreras en la Universi…

Giustizia ambientale e recupero delle aree verdi: il caso di Palermo
2021
L’urban shrinkage è diventata una questione centrale tanto nel dibattito scientifico quanto nell’agenda politica di diverse città europee. Secondo i dati EUROSTAT (2019), circa il 40% delle città europee con più di 200.000 abitanti stanno perdendo popolazione; una contrazione che si esplicita maggiormente, sotto il profilo spaziale, in una progressiva sottoutilizzazione del patrimonio edificato, così come nel contestuale incremento di aree e terreni in stato di abbandono. In questo quadro controverso di mutazione strutturale della città, così come l’abbiamo conosciuta, le politiche urbane alla prova in Europa tentano di declinare la decrescita quale occasione strategica di investimento sull…
Parenting, Peer Relationships, Academic Self-efficacy, and Academic Achievement: Direct and Mediating Effects
2017
The aim of the present study is to analyze the relation between authoritative and permissive parenting styles with the kinds of adolescent peer relationships (attachment, victimization, or aggression), and of the latter ones, in turn, with academic self-efficacy, and academic performance, in three waves that range from the early-mid adolescence to late adolescence. Five hundred Spanish adolescents, of both sexes, participated in a three-wave longitudinal study in Valencia, Spain. In the first wave, adolescents were either in the third year of secondary school or the fourth year of secondary school. The mean age in the first wave was 14.70 (SD = 0.68; range = 13–16 years). Child Report of Pa…
Human Fetal Aorta Contains Vascular Progenitor Cells Capable of Inducing Vasculogenesis, Angiogenesis, and Myogenesis in Vitro and in a Murine Model …
2007
Vasculogenesis, the formation of blood vessels in embryonic or fetal tissue mediated by immature vascular cells (ie, angioblasts), is poorly understood. We report the identification of a population of vascular progenitor cells (hVPCs) in the human fetal aorta composed of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells that coexpress endothelial and myogenic markers. Under culture conditions that promoted cell differentiation, hVPCs gave rise to a mixed population of mature endothelial and mural cells when progenitor cells were stimulated with vascular endothelial growth factor-A or platelet-derived growth factor-betabeta. hVPCs grew as nonadherent cells and, when embedded in a three-dimensional collagen…

Noise contribution to resonance phenomena and information propagation in non linear electronic networks
2015
This manuscript presents research aiming to show possible positive effects of deterministic and stochastic perturbations on the responses of different nonlinear systems. To that end, both numerical and experimental studies were carried out on two kinds of structures : an elementary electronic FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillator and an electrical line developed by resistively coupling 45 elementary cells. In the first section, the elementary cell characterization was undertaken in a deterministic regime. In the presence of a bichromatic stimulus, it is shown that when the low frequency component is subthreshold, its detection can be maximized for an optimal magnitude of the second component thanks to…
Fatigue, sleep, and nocturnal complaints in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
2012
Background and purpose: Fatigue is a common symptom in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Although sleep disturbances are a candidate factor that may interfere with fatigue in patients with ALS, the role of sleep-related abnormalities in determining fatigue in ALS is unknown. Objective: To evaluate the frequency and determinants of fatigue in a group of 91 consecutive patients with ALS, with special attention to the relationship between fatigue and sleep problems. Methods: Measures included the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), ALS Functional Rating ScaleRevised (ALSFRS-R), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: The…
