Tensions and expression in Milos Forman’s American films
2012
Milos Forman’s American films require a plural outlook. The director has always been drawn to stories of conflicts that are essential, according to him, to study human passion. This tension, thematic as well as esthetic, allows him to show the smallest mechanisms that lead to oppression in European and American stories, providing the viewer with a lesson of anatomy that pinpoints the most invisible magnetic forces leading to power. This course is accompanied by a journey to individualism, through forces involved in the identification with attractive though realistic characters, through the rediscovery of individual freedom within primitive or regressive worlds, insisting on the necessity of…
Valencia moneda de canvi de la resta d’Espanya i el “mesinfotisme” Valencià. L’últim episodi: el sistema financer valencià
2018
Durant els ultims anys s'ha portat en Espanya la reestructuracio financera de les entitats de credit espanyoles. La major part d'esta reestructuracio s'ha centrat en les caixes. La major part d'elles han desaparegut. Centrant-mos es la Comunitat Valenciana que tenía la tercera i la quarta mes grans en tamany s'ha quedat sense ninguna. Ademes, l'unic banc que tenía s'ha adjudicat per un euro a La Caixa en una inyeccio de capital de 5.500 millons d'euros lo que li ha permes a la caixa catalana passar d'unes perdues de 3.000 millons en 2013, lo que haguera acarrejat l'intervencio pel Banc d'Espanya a uns guanys de 500 millons, salvant d'esta forma la Caixa i el sistema financer catala a costa …
Un bastion de la résistance aux IFRS, la macro-couverture
2016
The lingering memory of the opposition within the EU to the endorsement of IAS 39 is still very much alive, and the so - called “carve out” standard is a daily remembrance of this fact . It is most commonly associated with the widespread use, within this standard, of the fair - value. This presentation aims at studying another battlefield, the banking practice of macro - hedging and the way French banks are still accounting for it. To This topic will be dealt with through the economic models at stake and their impact on the financial statements, in order to observe how an entity may, or may not, account for this specific activity.
Two-carbon bridge substituted cocaines: enantioselective synthesis, attribution of the absolute configuration and biological activity of novel 6- and…
1999
In an effort to learn more about the general structure-activity relationships of cocaine with the aim to elucidate those structural features that might confer antagonistic properties to such analogues, we describe herein our synthetic efforts to prepare two-carbon bridge functionalized (methoxylated and hydroxylated) analogues. Our approach makes use of a modification of the classical Willstatter synthesis of cocaine: Mannich type cyclization of acetonedicarboxylic acid monomethyl ester with methylamine hydrochloride and 2-methoxysuccindialdehyde in a citrate buffer solution afforded the 6- and 7-substituted 2-carbomethoxy-3-tropinones 3a,b and 4a,b in approximate yields of 64%.

APLIKASI MEDIA BATU APUNG PADA BIOFILTER ANAEROBIK UNTUK PENGOLAHAN LIMBAH CAIR RUMAH POTONG AYAM
2018
Sistem biofilter anaerobik merupakan salah satu alternatif teknologi yang dapat diaplikasikan untuk menangani limbah cair Rumah Potong Ayam (RPA). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: 1) mengidentifikasi karakteristik limbah cair RPA dan 2) mengkaji efisiensi penyisihan kadar BOD dan COD dengan sistem biofilter anaerobik menggunakan media batu apung. Penelitian dilaksanakan selama 10 hari dengan adanya variasi volume reaktor yaitu 30 cm x 30 cm x 60 cm, 25 cm x 25 cm x 60 cm, and 20 cm x 20 cm x 60 cm. Penelitian dilaksanakan secara duplo sehingga dibutuhkan 6 buah reaktor yang terbuat dari bahan akrilik. Parameter yang diukur dalam penelitian ini adalah nilai suhu, pH, kadar BOD, dan COD limbah…
Prenatal cocaine exposure alters spontaneous and cocaine-induced motor and social behaviors.
2005
The abuse of cocaine in pregnant women could affect emotional behaviors in their descendents. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure on spontaneous and cocaine-induced motor and social behaviors in mice. Three kinds of prenatal treatment were used: non-treated animals; mice treated daily with physiological saline during the last week of pregnancy; and finally, those treated with cocaine (25 mg/kg) during the same period. Behavioral studies took place on adult males, which were housed in two different conditions: grouped (non-aggressive), or isolated (aggressive). Cocaine-pretreated animals exhibited slight differences in spontaneous motor activity, but…
Even free radicals should follow some rules: a guide to free radical research terminology and methodology.
2014
Free radicals and oxidants are now implicated in physiological responses and in several diseases. Given the wide range of expertise of free radical researchers, application of the greater understanding of chemistry has not been uniformly applied to biological studies. We suggest that some widely used methodologies and terminologies hamper progress and need to be addressed. We make the case for abandonment and judicious use of several methods and terms and suggest practical and viable alternatives. These changes are suggested in four areas: use of fluorescent dyes to identify and quantify reactive species, methods for measurement of lipid peroxidation in complex biological systems, claims of…
Autopsia de un body packer al que le habían extraído la droga siendo cadáver
2015
Existen multitud de métodos empleados por los narcotraficantes para el traslado internacional de la droga, siendo el más peligroso para el individuo el transporte en el interior de su organismo, el denominado “body packer”. En ocasiones, alguno de los paquetes puede romperse y provocar la muerte por la salida masiva del tóxico. El hallazgo del envoltorio roto y el resto de paquetes íntegros, con la droga en su interior, al realizar la autopsia, son muy importantes para el diagnóstico. En el caso que nos ocupa, la previa manipulación del cadáver para extracción y recuperación de la droga, ha dificultado la determinación de la causa de la muerte. There are many methods used by drug trafficker…
