Efectos de un programa de rehabilitación cardíaca fase III sobre los factores de riesgo hipertensión arterial y obesidad en personas mayores de 60 a¿…

[EN] Aim To quantify time of evolution of arterial hypertension (AHT) and obesity during Phase III of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program (CRhbP) and to assess the possible influence of the patient's characteristics on the effectiveness of the program. Study design An observational retrospective study. Patients and methods A Phase III CRhbP was applied for one year on 18 patients over 60 years of age with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Both systolic (SBP) as well as diastolic (DBP) blood pressure (BP) and abdominal circumference (AC) were measured at the start of the program, at 6 months and at 12 months. Results The decrease in BP was significant for both SBP (p-value = 0.00) and DBP (p-valu…
Modeling Local Social Migrations: A Cellular Automata Approach
2015
In local social migrations, agents move from their initial location looking for a better local social environment. Social migrations processes do not change the number of social agents of a given type (i.e., the empirical distribution of the population) but their spatial location. Although cellular automata seems to appear as a natural approach to model of social migrations, the evolution of the configuration through a cellular automata might induce a new configuration wherein the number of agents of each type might be actually modified. This article provides a characterization of these cellular automata rules such that for any initial empirical distribution, the evolution of the configurat…
Criades globals: noves formes de precarització de les joves universitàries en situació d'au pair
2014
Au pair mobility, originally conceived as a form of cultural exchange, conceals forms of paid work and without a clear legal basis, developed mainly by young women with higher education. This program has become a way for middle-class families that can outsource housework, getting cheap and very flexible care work. First, we describe how in a context of increasing of the vital precariousness, the dominant discourses on human capital and cosmopolitanism prescribe as desirable the mobility in order to increase the employability. Second, by analyzing in-depth interviews we approach to the experiences and representations of women that were employed as au pairs. The results highlight the use of t…
