Background Health apps for the screening and diagnosis of mental disorders have emerged in recent years on various levels (eg, patients, practitioners, and public health system). However, the diagnostic quality of these apps has not been (sufficiently) tested so far. Objective The objective of this pilot study was to investigate the diagnostic quality of a health app for a broad spectrum of mental disorders and its dependency on expert knowledge. Methods Two psychotherapists, two psychology students, and two laypersons each read 20 case vignettes with a broad spectrum of mental disorders. They used a health app (Ada—Your Health Guide) to get a diagnosis by entering the symptoms. Interrater…
A single key-odorant accounts for the pheromonal effect of rabbit milk : Further test of the mammary pheromone's activity against a wide sample of vo…
2003
In the rabbit, lactating females emit a volatile compound in milk, the mammary pheromone (MP), that triggers rooting for the nipple and its grasping in pups. Previous studies have shown that the MP seems to act selectively, in terms both of intensity and quality. Here, we aimed to add new evidence to these properties of the MP. Newborn rabbits (n=825) were submitted to an oral activation test allowing to measure their searching/grasping responses towards different stimuli. In Experiment 1 we assessed whether pups respond to the MP in an intensity-dependent manner. In Experiment 2 we assessed the activity of 20 volatiles previously identified in rabbit milk, other than the MP, which were nev…
Los orígenes de los estudios sobre la salud pública en la España renacentista
2006
José María López Piñero (Jose.M.Lopez-Pinero@uv.es) Se sintetizan muy brevemente los resultados de las investigaciones históricas que el autor inició hace más de cuatro décadas sobre los orígenes de los estudios en torno a la salud pública en la España renacentista. Sucesivamente se considera la función desempeñada por el poder real, desde la perspectiva de los orígenes del Estado moderno, la influencia del ambientalismo hipocrático, el mantenimiento para privilegiados de la higiene a nivel individual, los inicios de la higiene colectiva en relación con las epidemias de peste y las aportaciones sobre la asistencia médica condicionadas por el cambio de valores acerca de la pobreza.
Loss of a novel tumor suppressor gene locus at chromosome 8p is associated with leukemic mantle cell lymphoma
2001
Abstract Patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) may present with either nodal or leukemic disease. The molecular determinants underlying this different biologic behavior are not known. This study compared the pattern of genetic abnormalities in patients with nodal and leukemic phases of MCL using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for specific gene loci. Although both leukemic and nodal MCL showed similar genomic patterns of losses (involving 6q, 11q22-q23, 13q14, and 17p13) and gains (affecting 3q and 8q), genomic loss of chromosome 8p occurred more frequently in patients with leukemic disease (79% versus 11%,P < .001). Subsequent…
The Right to Education and ICT during COVID-19: An International Perspective
2020
There is a lack of concluding evidence among epidemiologists and public health specialists about how school closures reduce the spread of COVID-19. Herein, we attend to the generalization of this action throughout the world, specifically in its quest to reduce mortality and avoid infections. Considering the impact on the right to education from a global perspective, this article discusses how COVID-19 has exacerbated inequalities and pre-existing problems in education systems around the world. Therefore, the institutional responses to guaranteeing remote continuity of the teaching&ndash
Longitudinal metagenomics
2018
Culture-independent approaches are revolutionizing biology. Whether in a clinical or in an environmental sample, metagenomics can reveal which microorganisms exist and what they actually do. Metagenomic studies have unveiled more microbial diversity in a few years than traditional microbiology in centuries. From the top branches down to the roots, its discoveries are reshaping the tree of life dramatically. Metagenomics is a powerful tool for the study of microbial communities, but it requires equally powerful methods of analysis. Current challenges in the analysis of metagenomic data include the accurate comparison of samples, the estimation of the uncertainty in the results, and the effec…
The Forgotten Representatives of the School of Mathematics in Sciences of Management
2017
Szybki rozwój technologii, wzrost poziomu życia i zmiany demograficzne przyczyniają się do dynamicznych zmian zachodzących we współczesnym społeczeństwie. Specjaliści w dziedzinie demografii, zwracają szczególną uwagę na zjawisko „starzejącego się społeczeństwa”, co przyczyni sie do wzrostu zapotrzebowania na usługi medyczne świadczone przez lekarzy specjalizujących się w leczeniu ludzi starszych, oraz miejsca w ośrodkach opiekuńczo-leczniczych (sanatoriach czy hospicjach). Głównym celem niniejszego opracowania była ocena pozycji Polski na tle krajów Unii Europejskiej na podstawie wybranych wskaźników charakteryzujących system opieki zdrowotnej. W badaniach starano sie odpowiedzieć na pytan…
Método y técnica en la traducción de modismos en obras audiovisuales: el caso Archer
2020
espanolEl debate en torno a la traduccion literal y su idoneidad a la hora de hacer frente a una traduccion es ciertamente antiguo. Cuando dicho debate se aplica a la traduccion audiovisual, este se encrudece todavia mas. En la actualidad, es comun encontrarse con comentarios posicionados en contra de la traduccion literal como opcion para hacer frente a modalidades como el doblaje o el subtitulado. Sin embargo, dichas aseveraciones no suelen especificar la diferencia entre tecnica de traduccion y metodo de traduccion, dado que este ultimo contiene una amplia variedad de soluciones que si son observables y aplicables en la traduccion audiovisual (vease Martinez Sierra, 2017). Para ejemplifi…

Finnish and German student teachers’ motivations for choosing teaching as a career : The first application of the FIT-Choice scale in Finland
2019
This study introduces and validates the Finnish version of the FIT-Choice scale and uses the scale to explore Finnish undergraduate students' motivations for choosing teaching as a career as well as their perceptions of teaching as a profession in comparison to German student teachers. The results replicated the FIT-Choice structure both in Finland and Germany. Sample comparisons revealed that motivations for teaching and perceptions of the teaching profession reflected both differences and similarities between Finland and Germany. The study offers novel information on student teachers’ motivational structure. peerReviewed
