Epidemiology and risk factors of eating disorders: A two-stage epidemiologic study in a Spanish population aged 12-18 years
2003
Objective The authors studied the prevalence rates of eating disorders (ED) and their risk factors in a Spanish population aged 12–18 years. Method A two-stage epidemiologic study was conducted in the province of Valencia. Educational centers, classrooms, and individuals were selected randomly. The initial sample comprised 544 subjects. During Stage 1, subjects were screened with the 40-item Eating Attitude Test and a sociodemographic questionnaire that evaluates risk factors. During Stage 2, a semistandardized clinical interview was conducted with each participant. A random control group was paired by class, age, and sex. Comorbid psychiatric disorders and partial and subclinical forms wer…
Using UDDI for Publishing Metadata of the Semantic Web
2006
Although UDDI does not provide support for semantic search, retrieval and storage, it is already accepted as an industrial standard and a huge number of services already store their service specifications in UDDI. Objective of this paper is to analyze possibilities and ways to use UDDI registry to allow utilization of meta-data encoded according to Semantic Web standards for semantic-based description, discovery and integration of web resources in the context of needs of two research projects: “Adaptive Services Grid” and “SmartResource”. We present an approach of mapping RDFS upper concepts to UDDI data model using tModel structure, which makes possible to store semantically annotated reso…
Large Scale Knowledge Matching with Balanced Efficiency-Effectiveness Using LSH Forest
2017
Evolving Knowledge Ecosystems were proposed to approach the Big Data challenge, following the hypothesis that knowledge evolves in a way similar to biological systems. Therefore, the inner working of the knowledge ecosystem can be spotted from natural evolution. An evolving knowledge ecosystem consists of Knowledge Organisms, which form a representation of the knowledge, and the environment in which they reside. The environment consists of contexts, which are composed of so-called knowledge tokens. These tokens are ontological fragments extracted from information tokens, in turn, which originate from the streams of information flowing into the ecosystem. In this article we investigate the u…
HCV genotype 5: an orphan virus
2013
HCV genotype 5 (HCV-5) is the least known HCV genotype. It is found mainly in South Africa and in restricted areas of Belgium, Spain, France, Syria and Greece. Sporadic cases are reported worldwide. The main modes of transmission are blood transfusion and iatrogenic causes. Little is known about its origin, but various studies have elucidated its spread worldwide. In endemic areas, patients infected with HCV-5 are on average older and have a higher viral load and more advanced fibrosis than those infected with non-HCV-5 genotypes. The current standard of care for HCV-5 chronic infection is 48 weeks of dual therapy with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin. ‘Favourable’ Il28B polymorphisms a…
Binary jumbled string matching for highly run-length compressible texts
2012
The Binary Jumbled String Matching problem is defined as: Given a string $s$ over $\{a,b\}$ of length $n$ and a query $(x,y)$, with $x,y$ non-negative integers, decide whether $s$ has a substring $t$ with exactly $x$ $a$'s and $y$ $b$'s. Previous solutions created an index of size O(n) in a pre-processing step, which was then used to answer queries in constant time. The fastest algorithms for construction of this index have running time $O(n^2/\log n)$ [Burcsi et al., FUN 2010; Moosa and Rahman, IPL 2010], or $O(n^2/\log^2 n)$ in the word-RAM model [Moosa and Rahman, JDA 2012]. We propose an index constructed directly from the run-length encoding of $s$. The construction time of our index i…
L?atribució hipotètica de Curial e Güelfa a Enyego d?Àvalos (Consideracions sobre un «informe» de L. Badia i J. Torró)
2017
Resum: La revista Estudis Romanics 39 (2017) ha publicat el meu article: “Enyego d’Avalos, autor del Curial e Guelfa ?”, que resumeix una part de la meua tesi doctoral, La cort napolitana d’Alfons el Magnanim: el context del «Curial e Guelfa» (Universitat de Valencia, 2016). L’article defensa la hipotesi que Enyego d’Avalos –natural de Toledo, educat a Valencia, conseller de Felip Maria Visconti i gran camarlenc d’Alfons el Magnanim, al regne de Napols– hauria estat l’autor de la novel·la cavalleresca anonima Curial e Guelfa . Encara que la tesi es inedita, Lola Badia i Jaume Torro s’han manifestat en contra de la hipotesi mitjancant declaracions difamatories en mitjans de comunicacio i un …
Avoiding lumbar segmental arteries injury in oblique lateral interbody fusion procedure
2020
Lumbar interbody fusion is performed to treat several spinal disorders and involves the insertion of a structural graft into an intervertebral disk space to promote bony arthrodesis. Although the posterior approach to the lumbar spine was long the most frequently adopted surgical strategy to perform fusion, anterior approaches, first introduced in 1906, have recently blossomed. Patient expectations and increasing demands for shorter hospital stay and early recovery have led to more innovative surgical techniques to reduce iatrogenic injury and postoperative morbidity. Depending on the level to be treated, several approaches have been developed, each dealing with peculiar anatomic obstacles:…
Análisis de conocimientos sobre aulas de comunicación y lenguaje de futuros/as maestros/as.
2021
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave en español y en inglés Uno de los recursos regulados para la adecuada inclusión de alumnado con necesidades específicas de apoyo educativo (NEAE) en centros educativos ordinarios en la Comunidad Valenciana son las aulas de comunicación y lenguaje (CyL). El éxito de este recurso depende, entre otros aspectos, de los conocimientos que tenga el profesorado tanto generalista como especialista sobre su funcionamiento. Se analizan los conocimientos, los errores y las lagunas de los estudiantes de último curso de los grados de Maestro/a en Educación Infantil y de Maestro/a en Educación Primaria sobre el funcionamiento de estas…
A guide to indicators for the evaluation of specialist autism centres, based on the quality-of-life model
2017
Objective: The evaluation of individual and organizational quality of life through the Guide to Quality-of-Life Indicators and its promotion in English-speaking areas. This guide was initially designed for people living with Autism Spectrum Disorder in specialist autism centers in Spanish and Italian-speaking areas where its effectiveness has been validated. Method: The Delphi technique is applied to the design of a qualitative investigation, with expert validation for the adaptation to English-speaking areas. Results: The results have facilitated the adaptation and validation of the tool, which has 68 indicators grouped into six areas, for its application in both the planning and the evalu…
