Populist parties in Europe, from propaganda to legal reforms: whether freedoms of expression, association and religion are under threat?

2018

The effect of the recent populist legislative tendencies results in sharpening new and old tensions between national and international legal orders and, in the European Union scenario, in particular, the most alarming outcome could be a potential and systematic breach of the European Convention on Human Rights and the liberal democratic values expressed in it. Regarding the argument of the enforcement, nevertheless, besides the importance of the international recommendations and soft law instruments, above all the EU Guidelines on the promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief, it could be crucial the role that the religious leaders should perform towards a more inclusive int…

Summary and recommendations of the OARSI FDA osteoarthritis Assessment of Structural Change Working Group

2011

Import JabRef | WosArea Orthopedics; Rheumatology; International audience; Objective: The Osteoarthritis Research Society International initiated a number of working groups to address a call from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on updating draft guidance on conduct of osteoarthritis (OA) clinical trials. The development of disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs) remains challenging. The Assessment of Structural Change (ASC) Working Group aimed to provide a state-of-the-art critical update on imaging tools for OA clinical trials. Methods: The Group focussed on the performance metrics of conventional radiographs (CR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), performing systemati…

An analytical model of heat transfer and fluid dynamic performances of an unconventional NTR engine for manned interplanetary missions

2009

Abstract An analytical model of fluid flow and heat transfer of a Nuclear Thermal Rocket (NTR) engine concept is presented. The engine is based on the direct conversion of the kinetic energy of the fission fragments (FFs) into the propellant enthalpy. The FFs can escape from an extremely thin layer of fissionable material: a sufficiently large surface coated with few micrometers of Americium 242m, confined by a neutron moderator–reflector, may become a critical reactor. Three dimensional coupled CFD-Monte Carlo simulations have already been presented in Di Piazza and Mulas (2006) . In this paper, an analytical integral 1-D model of fluid dynamics and heat transfer is built in order to fores…

Conventionalism and Law

1995

The defining property of those theories which are usually collected under the label “legal positivism” is the thesis that certain social facts form a sufficient condition for the existence of law and legal systems. The acceptance or rejection of this thesis has important consequences, but there are other issues in legal theory which are of equal importance. Thus, the positivism-antipositivism issue is only one possible way of classifying different theories.

Bonding to silicate ceramics : conventional technique compared with a simplified technique

2017

Background Silicate ceramic bonding is carried out by acid-etching with hydrofluoric acid (HF) followed by an application of silane. By replacing HF with ammonium polyfluoride, contained in the same flask as the silane, the number of steps in this clinical procedure, can be reduced, while maintaining bond strength values, and reducing toxicity. A shear bond test was performed to compare the conventional and the simplified surface treatment techniques. Material and methods Twenty ceramic samples were fabricated from IPS emax CAD® ceramic (Ivoclar Vivadent) and divided into two groups (G1 and G2) (n=10). The conventional technique was applied to G1 samples, and the simplified technique to G2 …

The analysis of the concept of vulnerability on the International legal framework on Human Trade

2018

The establishment of the Trafficking1 and the Smuggling Protocol2 has brought to the surface the importance of the concept of vulnerability. However, the Protocols have not given a precise definition to the concept of vulnerability, in order to perceive a practical application on legal grounds. In 2005, the Council of Europe tries to delimit the definition’s gap of such concept, through the Convention of Warsaw3, giving a more exact definition of the concept. The present article intends to analyse the evolution and the application of this concept on the international legal framework on Human trafficking and Smuggling of migrants.

Current status of the salutogenesis in Spain. Fifteen years of research

2014

Tras siglos de visión patogénica del cuidado de la salud, en los años 70 el sociólogo y médico Aaron Antonovsky introdujo un modelo de salud que con los años se ha convertido en un concepto establecido en la salud pública y la promoción de la salud, la ‘Salutogénesis’, que propone entender la salud como un continuo entre bienestar y enfermedad en lugar de una visión en que salud y enfermedad se excluyen mutuamente, coincidiendo con el actual enfoque de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo principal realizar una revisión y análisis de su estudio y utilización en España, donde va introduciéndose de forma progresiva, con más de 10 artículos publicados, una conf…

Long-term volume-targeted pressure-controlled ventilation: sense or nonsense?

2017

The technology underlying the development of novel ventilatory modes for long-term noninvasive ventilation of patients with chronic hypercapnia is continuously evolving. Volume-targeted pressure-controlled ventilation is a hybrid ventilation mode designed to combine the advantages of conventional ventilation modes, while avoiding their drawbacks. However, manufacturers have created different names and have patented algorithms and set-up variables, which can result in confusion for physicians and respiratory therapists. In addition, clear evidence for the superiority of this novel mode has not yet been established. These factors have most likely hindered more widespread use of this mode in c…
