Are the Growth Standards of the World Health Organization Valid for Spanish Children? The SONEV Study
2021
Background: The use of different growth tables to assess the population's nutritional status has given rise to a series of limitations arising from the lack of consensus and uniform methodological criteria. This leads to a disparity of results that prevent an accurate and reliable diagnosis of whether a child is overweight or obese.Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop growth references for weight, height, and body mass index for Eastern-Spanish children from 6 to 16 years of age.Methods: The final sample used to fit the growth curves was made up of 1,102 observations. The 2007 WHO curves are currently used for Child Health Service Cards. Therefore, to make the comparison of t…
Venezolanos y aporofobia: oportunidad ética para el periodismo
2022
Adela Cortina introdujo en la palestra pública el término aporofobia para ofrecer otra perspectiva en la discusión sobre la lucha contra la pobreza y la desigualdad. Con este texto nos proponemos aplicar la tesis de la filósofa en el periodismo y cuyo hilo conductor será el éxodo de los venezolanos. Apelando a la hermenéutica crítica como método filosófico, entendemos el periodismo como profesión capaz de transformar la realidad social. Para que el periodismo cobre legitimidad social y no sea percibido como un mero negocio o competencia de métricas, urge comprender el oficio informativo no desde lo funcional comunicativo, sino desde el compromiso con la dignidad humana, como sustento para g…
Obesity and survival in operable breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant anthracyclines and taxanes according to pathological subtypes: a pooled…
2013
Obesity is an unfavorable prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC) patients regardless of menopausal status and treatment received. However, the association between obesity and survival outcome by pathological subtype requires further clarification. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis including 5,683 operable BC patients enrolled in four randomized clinical trials (GEICAM/9906, GEICAM/9805, GEICAM/2003-02, and BCIRG 001) evaluating anthracyclines and taxanes as adjuvant treatments. Our primary aim was to assess the prognostic effect of body mass index (BMI) on disease recurrence, breast cancer mortality (BCM), and overall mortality (OM). A secondary aim was to detect differences o…
Spatial econometrics (1, Spatial autocorrelation)
2000
Spatial econometric methods aim at taking into account the two special characteristics of spatial data: spatial autocorrelation, which is the lack of independence between geographical observations, and spatial heterogeneity, which is related to the differentiation of variables and behaviors in space. These techniques have been mostly developed the last ten years and are more often applied in empirical studies with geographical data.The aim of this article is to present the way spatial autocorrelation and spatial heterogeneity can be incorporated in regression relationships and to present the estimation and inference procedures adapted to the models incorporating these two effects. This arti…
Contribution to the modeling of microstructural corrosion on aluminium alloys : definition of a methodology to study the bimetallic corrosion phenome…
2008
The initiation and the propagation of aluminum alloys microstructural corrosion is mainly based on the bimetallic corrosion phenomenon. This type of corrosion is caused by galvanic coupling at a local scale between the different phases contained in the alloy. The description of the localized corrosion phenomenon has been largely studied. Their complexity can explain why they are so difficult to predict by the way of numerical tools and why the works that have been done on this subject are so scarce. The present thesis brings a new contribution to this field by suggesting a methodology based on the complementary use of local electrochemical techniques and the finite element simulation of bim…
Intraocular pressure and central corneal thickness in an old French population: The MONTRACHET study
2013
Purpose: To describe the distribution of intraocular pressure (IOP) and central corneal thickness (CCT) in an old French population. Methods: About 9000 individuals 65 years and older were included in the 3C cohort study since 1999 in 3 French cities (Bordeaux, Dijon and Montpellier). In Dijon, an additional ophthalmic examination was performed 10 years after the initial inclusions to assess the relation between systemic age-related diseases and eye diseases in the MONTRACHET Study (Maculopathy Optic Nerve nuTRition neurovAsCular and HEarT diseases). In this population-based stuy a thorough eye examination and a questionnaire were undertaken in each participant. Intraocular pressure (IOP) w…
Factores psicosociales asociados a la corrupción
2020
Actualmente, la corrupción es uno de los problemas psicológicos, sociales, económicos y políticos más importantes a nivel mundial. La corrupción es una práctica extendida en las sociedades actuales que, a pesar de su relevancia social, se ha estudiado desde postulados mayoritariamente economicistas. Por otra parte, este tipo de conductas en el ámbito universitario ha suscitado preocupación entre los gobernantes, ciudadanos y la comunidad educativa de la mayoría de países. La presente tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo general ahondar en los factores psicosociales que están asociados a la conducta corrupta. Para conseguir tal objetivo, se plantean los siguientes objetivos específicos: sintet…
Formulaicity in constrained communication : an intermodal approach
2021
DeutschIn dieser an Korpuslinguistik, Formelsprache und Studien uber eingeschrankte Kommunikation grenzende Forschungsstudie, die sich hier auf Ubersetzung, Dolmetschen und L2 konzentriert, wollen wir uberprufen, ob die in der polnisch-englischen Komponente eines intermodalen EPTIC-Korpus gefundenen eingeschrankten Texte sich von den einheimischen Texten unterscheiden in Bezug auf die Verwendung benachbarter Wortkombinationen, oft Bigrams genannt, und ob ahnliche Muster in gesprochenen und geschriebenen Registern gefunden werden konnen. Dazu erarbeiteten wir das Poisson-Regressionsmodell mit festen und zufalligen Effekten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die ubersetzte Sprache zur hoheren Anzah…
Lauksaimniecības marginalizācijas ietekme uz aizsargājamo zālāju saglabāšanos Latvijā
2018
Maģistra darba mērķis - noskaidrot, kāda ir lauksaimniecības marginalizācijas ietekme uz aizsargājamo zālāju saglabāšanos Latvijā. Pētījums aptver visu Latviju. Izmantoti dabisko zālāju izplatības dati uz 2015. gadu un dati par lauksaimniecības zemju apsaimniekošanu 2017.gadā, kā arī augšņu kvalitātes dati. Datu analīze veikta 5 x5 km tīkla šūnā, analīzei izmantojot aprakstošo statistiku (Manna-Vitnija U-tests) un veikta daudzfaktoru regresijas analīze ar Tweedie modeļa datu sadalījumu. 2015.gadā Latvijā aizsargājamie zālāji aizņēma 0,77 % (50 156 ha) no valsts teritorijas. Bieži sastopamie biotopi valstī aizņem lielāko platību - 41 169 ha, bet retie un kompleksie biotopi aizņem, attiecīgi,…
