Literacy skills seem to fuel literacy enjoyment, rather than vice versa
2023
Children who like to read and write tend to be better at it. This association is typically interpreted as enjoyment impacting engagement in literacy activities, which boosts literacy skills. We fitted direction-of-causation models to partial data of 3690 Finnish twins aged 12. Literacy skills were rated by the twins' teachers and literacy enjoyment by the twins themselves. A bivariate twin model showed substantial genetic influences on literacy skills (70%) and literacy enjoyment (35%). In both skills and enjoyment, shared-environmental influences explained about 20% in each. The best-fitting direction-of-causation model showed that skills impacted enjoyment, while the influence in the othe…
A Long Term View on the Short Term Co-movement of Output and Prices in a Small Open Economy
2012
- One assumption behind inflation targeting as objective for monetary policy is that inflation rates in the short run to some extent reflect output cycles. The present paper investigates the historical co-movements of output and prices for a small open raw material based economy, in this case Norway 1830 – 2006. Looking at contemporaneous movements we find more often negative correlations between the two variables than positive. The correlations do not give any evidence of causality. However, they may indicate that supply side shocks, often caused by the foreign sector, were more important for historical output cycles in Norway than assumed hitherto
Information Decomposition in Multivariate Systems: Definitions, Implementation and Application to Cardiovascular Networks
2016
The continuously growing framework of information dynamics encompasses a set of tools, rooted in information theory and statistical physics, which allow to quantify different aspects of the statistical structure of multivariate processes reflecting the temporal dynamics of complex networks. Building on the most recent developments in this field, this work designs a complete approach to dissect the information carried by the target of a network of multiple interacting systems into the new information produced by the system, the information stored in the system, and the information transferred to it from the other systems; information storage and transfer are then further decomposed into amou…
Synergistic Information Transfer in the Global System of Financial Markets.
2020
Uncovering dynamic information flow between stock market indices has been the topic of several studies which exploited the notion of transfer entropy or Granger causality, its linear version. The output of the transfer entropy approach is a directed weighted graph measuring the information about the future state of each target provided by the knowledge of the state of each driving stock market index. In order to go beyond the pairwise description of the information flow, thus looking at higher order informational circuits, here we apply the partial information decomposition to triplets consisting of a pair of driving markets (belonging to America or Europe) and a target market in Asia. Our …
Riesgo de errores de medicación y conocimientos de farmacología del profesional de enfermería en una unidad de cuidados críticos
2017
La farmacoterapia no está exenta de riesgos para los pacientes, puede generarle una serie de daños, ya sean de naturaleza iatrogénica inherente al medicamento o como consecuencia de errores cometidos durante los procesos que componen el complejo sistema de utilización de medicamentos en los hospitales. Conocemos que los efectos adversos en España presentan una incidencia del 8,4%, siendo los más comunes los errores de medicación (37,4%). Estos datos se desprenden de grandes estudios nacionales multicéntricos, pero en cambio, no se conoce, o se estudia de manera escasa la magnitud y naturaleza de los errores de medicación que ocurren en el día a día en la práctica clínica, o si existen unida…

Impact of vine water status on berry mass and berry tissue development of Cabernet franc (Vitis vinifera L.), assessed at berry level
2019
Background Berry size is considered an important quality factor in red wine production. The objective of this work was to study the effect of vine water status on berry mass in field conditions, with a specific focus on berry tissue masses. Results The study was carried out over 2 years in a plot located in Sicily (Italy). Two irrigation treatments were established. Dynamic evolution of berry mass and berry tissue masses at harvest were recorded. Berries produced under water deficit conditions were smaller and characterized by a higher skin-to-flesh ratio. However, this ratio did not change when berry mass varied independently from vine water status, showing coordinated growth of flesh and …
Medida del resultado de las intervenciones sanitarias en España: una aproximación mediante el análisis temporal y espacial de la mortalidad evitable …
2006
Fundamento: Muchos estudios proponen la mortalidad evitable (ME) como indicador para monitorizar los servicios de salud aunque su generalización está limitada por el gran número de listas de causas utilizadas. El objetivo es analizar la evolución temporal del período 1986-2001 y la distribución geográfica de la mortalidad evitable utilizando una lista de causas consensuada. Métodos: Se analiza la mortalidad evitable global (ME) y agrupada en causas ISAS (intervenciones de los servicios sanitarios) y causas IPSI (políticas intersectoriales). Se analiza la evolución temporal ajustando una recta de regresión de Poisson o un modelo de regresión de Joinpoint, según el caso, y se estima el porcen…
El enriquecimiento injusto en los procedimientos de familia
2021
En las relaciones familiares post crisis de pareja pueden darse situaciones que originen el enriquecimiento sin causa de una de las partes en perjuicio de la otra. Encontramos ejemplos de ello en cuestiones como la pensión de alimentos, atribución de la vivienda familiar, o indemnizaciones por rupturas de parejas de hecho.
