Cuerpos moldeables y vidas modulables: La invención del estado holísticamente saludable como bienestar (integral)
2020
The article argues ?from the Deleuzian concepts of society of control, moulding and modulation and the Rosean theory on the economization and medicalization of life? that the expansion of the concept of health in terms of integral and subjective well-being is the effect of a socio-historical shift in the way we relate to this signifier, and therefore to our bodies and ourselves. We use this interpretative network to analyze the effects that the biopsychosocial health paradigm has had in the context of aesthetic surgery and fitness practice. As a result, we see that the expansion of the concept of health has extended the domain of medicine into the spheres of personal care and physical appea…
An Expert System for the Design of Agents
2007
The growing interest for the design and development of multi-agent systems has brought to the creation of a specific research area called Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE), specifically conceived for the development of complex systems. The development of such systems needs the support of appropriate tools that could help the designer in producing the design artefacts. We developed a tool called Metameth that may be used to define a new (agent-oriented) design process as well as to apply it. In this paper, we describe only a slice of this complex tool, specifically addressing the interaction with human actors (the designers). This subsystem is conceived as a collaborative multi-agen…
Brief an Garlieb H. Merkel
1798
Ms. 930a, Nr. 13, Bl. 35r-[36v] August Hennings. Brief an Garlieb H. Merkel, Ploen, den 20. Dece[mber] 1798 Autora rokraksts / Autograph, vācu val. / Deutsch [3] lpp. / S. Attēlu numuri / Bildnummern: 930a-013-1, 930a-013-2, 930a-013-3 Hennings, der dänische Amtmann in Plön und Bekannte des dänischen Ministers Schimmelmann, schreibt in seiner Funktion als Herausgeber der Zeitschrift „Genius der Zeit“ an Merkel. Er kündigt an, einen Aufsatz zu drucken, in dem Merkel Partei für seinen Schriftstellerkollegen Johann(es) Falk ergreift, worum ihn dieser in einem anderen Brief gebeten hat (vgl. Ms. 930a-012). Merkels Aufsatz soll in der Februarausgabe 1799 erscheinen. Der Aufsatz sowie der hier üb…
Kollokationen in Leserbriefen der Wochenzeitschrift Die Zeit
2020
Im Rahmen der Phraseologieforschung haben Kollokationen traditionell nur wenig Beachtung gefunden. Im Gegensatz zu Idiomen sind sie in der Regel semantisch transparent und bereiten daher Fremdsprachenlernern selten rezeptive Schwierigkeiten. Bei der Textproduktion muss jedoch die Problematik der Kollokationen beachtet werden. Aus diesem Grund halten wir Kollokationen für einen wichtigen Bereich der Phraseologie. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Aufmerksamkeit auf die syntaktische Struktur, den Gebrauch und die Funktion von Kollokationen in 243 Leserbriefen der Zeitschrift Die Zeit gerichtet. Nach Heranziehung zweier Kollokationswörterbücher sowie einiger anderer Quellen konnten 278 Kollokat…
Infectious Tolerance
2002
Regulatory CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells (Treg) are mandatory for maintaining immunologic self-tolerance. We demonstrate that the cell-cell contact-mediated suppression of conventional CD4(+) T cells by human CD25(+) Treg cells is fixation resistant, independent from membrane-bound TGF-beta but requires activation and protein synthesis of CD25(+) Treg cells. Coactivation of CD25(+) Treg cells with Treg cell-depleted CD4(+) T cells results in anergized CD4(+) T cells that in turn inhibit the activation of conventional, freshly isolated CD4(+) T helper (Th) cells. This infectious suppressive activity, transferred from CD25(+) Treg cells via cell contact, is cell contact-independent and partially medi…
The Role of the Cerebellum in Social and Non-Social Action Sequences: A Preliminary LF-rTMS Study
2021
An increasing number of studies demonstrated the involvement of the cerebellum in (social) sequence processing. The current preliminary study is the first to investigate the causal involvement of the cerebellum in sequence generation, using low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS). By targeting the posterior cerebellum, we hypothesized that the induced neuro-excitability modulation would lead to altered performance on a Picture and Story sequencing task, which involve the generation of the correct chronological order of various social and non-social stories depicted in cartoons or sentences. Our results indicate that participants receiving LF-rTMS over the cerebe…

2013
Il volume Tommaso Maria Napoli Utriusque Architecturae Compendium Roma 1688 Breve trattato sulle fabbriche civili e militari e la conservazione delle architetture del frate domenicano Tommaso Maria Napoli, vuole contribuire ad accrescere le nostre conoscenze sui principi che dovevano sottendere alla realizzazione dell’architettura civile e militare del periodo barocco e tardo barocco, così come espressi nel breve trattato scritto dal frate architetto, nato a Palermo, Tommaso Maria Napoli (1659-1725), e pubblicato a Roma alla fine del Seicento. Alla traduzione dal latino del trattato, redatta da esperti (Fabio Zarbo e Pietro Zarbo), è inclusa un’interessante ricerca, redatta congiuntamente c…
Early and Later Predictors of Outcome in Brief Therapy: The Role of Real Relationship
2012
Objectives The study examined whether clients who continued longer in brief therapy reported stronger associations of real relationship and working alliance with therapy outcome than clients who received very brief treatment. It also examined whether real relationship and working alliance assessed early in treatment predicted outcome differently from that assessed later in therapy. Method Fifty clients (32 women; Mage = 22.3 years) were recruited from a university counseling center. Thirty-two clients (very brief therapy) completed the post-third session assessment of real relationship and working alliance, and 18 (brief therapy) had both the third and eighth assessment. Results The real re…
Profetismo político, milenarismo y creencias mesiánicas en el último periodo del reinado de Fernando el Católico (1500-1516)
2019
This study analyzes the presence of messianic and millennial beliefs in the last period of Ferdinand the Catholic?s reign. For this and after a brief state of the art, we analyze the use of the Christian prophecy of the millennium in speeches and memorials arising from the war in Naples, the North African campaign and the Pisan schism.
Evidence for Transmission of Taenia solium Taeniasis/Cysticercosis in a Rural Area of Northern Rwanda
2021
Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by the metacestode larval stage (cysticercus) of Taenia solium. In humans, cysticercosis may infect the central nervous system and cause neurocysticercosis, which is responsible for over 50,000 deaths per year worldwide and is the major cause of preventable epilepsy cases, especially in low-income countries. Cysticercosis infection is endemic in many less developed countries where poor hygiene conditions and free-range pig management favor their transmission. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 680 children from a rural primary school in Gakenke district (Northern province of Rwanda). Stool samples were collected from participants and analy…
