Patrimonio cultural para el desarrollo humano desde el Enfoque de Capacidades de Amartya Sen
2017
Este trabajo de investigación tiene por objetivo analizar la relación entre ciudadanía y patrimonio cultural bajo los postulados del Enfoque de Capacidades (EC) promovido principalmente por Amartya Sen y otros autores que se han sumado a este enfoque. El EC nos permite metodológicamente evaluar el estado social de las cosas (nivel de desarrollo humano) desde lo que el sujeto (individual y colectivo) quiere hacer y ser en la vida contando para ello con recursos en forma de bienes culturales del pasado (objeto/elemento patrimonial) que reconoce y le permite funcionamientos relevantes en su vida. En el desarrollo de este trabajo retomamos conceptos que ya hemos formulado y usado en anterio…
Desnutrición crónica infantil, daño social del cerebro y su impacto en la capacidad del adulto para expresar juicios morales. Una mirada desde la Neu…
2015
La tesis que presento con el título “Desnutrición crónica infantil, daño social del cerebro y su impacto en la capacidad del adulto para expresar juicios morales. Una mirada desde la Neuroética” aborda uno de los problemas que ha acompañado al ser humano durante su evolución: la desnutrición y sus consecuencias, y lo hace desde una perspectiva basada en el desarrollo que las neurociencias, específicamente la neurociencia cognitiva, han tenido en las últimas décadas en el conocimiento del cerebro y su relación con la generación de los juicios morales. Parte de la hipótesis que la desnutrición crónica infantil produce daño social en el cerebro, lo que afectaría en la vida adulta la capacidad …
Sicilian Populations of Capparis spinosa L. and Capparis orientalis Duhamel as Source of the Bioactive Flavonol Quercetin
2023
The genus Capparis is a taxon of difficult delimitation that has several species and ecotypes due to its wide heterogeneity, its extreme phenotypic diversity, and the presence of intermediate forms linked to hybridization phenomena. The Sicilian territory hosts numerous wild and cultivated populations of two spp. Capparis spinosa L. and Capparis orientalis Duhamel, which are ecologically and morphologically distinct. The caper has considerable interest and economic value for its medicinal properties, culinary uses, and cultivation characteristics. It is one of the foods with the highest quercetin content. Quercetin is a flavonol with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulant prope…
Chemical Compositions and Antioxidant Activities of Essential Oils, and Their Combinations, Obtained from Flavedo By-Product of Seven Cultivars of Si…
2022
In this work, seven Citrus aurantium essential oils (EOs) derived from flavedo of cultivars ‘Canaliculata’, ‘Consolei’, ‘Crispifolia’, ‘Fasciata’, ‘Foetifera’, ‘Listata’, and ‘Bizzaria’ were investigated. EOs were also combined in 1:1 (v/v) ratio to identify possible synergism or antagonism of actions. GC-MS analysis was done to investigate Eos’ phytochemical profiles. The antioxidant activity was studied by using a multi-target approach based on FRAP, DPPH, ABTS, and β-carotene bleaching tests. A great difference was observed in EOs’ phytochemical profiles. d-limonene (33.35–89.17%) w…
Effects of Long-Term Habitat Protection on Montane Small Mammals: Are Sorex araneus and S. minutus More Sensitive Than Previously Considered?
2022
Protection of natural areas by restricting human activities aims to preserve plant and animal populations and whole communities, ensuring the conservation of biological diversity and enhancement of ecosystem services. Therefore, it is expected that the longer the protection, the stronger the desired effects. We evaluated the responses of small mammals at the population and community levels under protection in the southern Carpathian Mountains. We surveyed small mammals for five years in sites with long- and short-term protection and non-protected. Besides protection status, we included elevation, habitat heterogeneity, and the month of survey as predictors in our models. As response variabl…
Tiger King and the Exegesis of COVID-19 Media Coverage of Nonhuman Animals
2022
Beginning with the premise that the media participates in the manufacturing of the societal consent that enables and perpetuates the systematized exploitation of nonhuman animals, this article explores how media coverage of such nonhuman animals (and of wildlife in particular) during the COVID-19 crisis may influence our consumption of popular entertainment in a way that centralizes the discussion on the implications of established speciesist practices. I specifically focus on the impact of the first season of Netflix’s successful docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness, directed by Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin, which was released in March 2020, a key moment in the world…
Improved bioaccessibility and antioxidant capacity of olive leaf ( Olea europaea L.) polyphenols through biosorption on Saccharomyces cerevisiae
2016
Abstract Olive ( Olea europaea L.) leaves (OL) are natural by-products that can be used as an advantageous rich source of bioactive compounds, especially polyphenols. This study investigated the potential use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a new carrier of OL antioxidants and a means to protect their bioactivity during simulated gastrointestinal digestion. The biosorption on S. cerevisiae allowed the recovery of 25.17 mg/g and 49.40% of the polyphenols from olive leaf (var. Chemlali ) infusions. Both infusions and suspensions before and after biosorption were analyzed for total soluble polyphenols and total antioxidant capacity (oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and trolox equivalen…
Buffer-gas-free mass-selective ion centering in Penning traps by simultaneous dipolar excitation of magnetron motion and quadrupolar excitation for i…
2012
A new excitation scheme of the radial ion-motional modes is introduced for Penning-trap ion-cyclotron-resonance experiments. By simultaneous dipolar excitation of the magnetron motion and resonant quadrupolar excitation for the conversion between magnetron motion and cyclotron motion, a mass-selective recentering of the ions of interest is performed while all other (contaminant) ions are ejected from the trap. This new technique does not rely on the application of a buffer gas as presently used [G. Savard, St. Becker, G. Bollen, H.-J. Kluge, R.B. Moore, Th. Otto, L Schweikhard, H. Stolzenberg, U. Wiess, Physics Letters A 158 (1991) 247] and will thus prevent charge-exchange reactions and da…
Calibration of microscopic traffic simulation models for evaluating operation and safety performance at roundabouts
Le prix des paysages périurbains
2007
L'évaluation économique du prix des paysages périurbains utilise des analyses géographiques (occupation des sols, composition paysagère, distance à des biens paysagers, paysages vus : champ de vision, objets, formes). L'article fait le point sur la littérature en matière de méthode et de résultats et présente l'estimation du prix d'attributs paysagers dans la ceinture périurbaine de Dijon.
