Estudio de la expresión de marcadores de transición epitelio-mesenquimal y de célula madre cancerosa en el melanoma cutáneo, y su asociación con la p…
2015
La mayoría de los estudios epidemiológicos muestran un aumento en la incidencia de melanoma en las últimas décadas, sobre todo a expensas de un aumento en la incidencia de melanomas delgados. La búsqueda de nuevos marcadores pronósticos y predictivos incluye el estudio de el fenómeno de transición epitelio-mesenquimal (EMT) que consiste en un proceso dinámico por el que las células adquieren progresivamente un fenotipo mesenquimal, con pérdida de las uniones célula-célula, modificaciones en el citoesqueleto y adquisición de marcadores como cadherina-N, osteonectina/SPARC, osteopontina, fibronectina, Twist y Snail. Por otro lado, en el modelo de tumorigénesis de la célula madre cancerosa (CM…
Prevalencia de la hipertensión arterial y factores asociados en población adulta de la Comunitat Valenciana
2014
La hipertensión es el principal factor de riesgo en términos de mortalidad atribuible y el principal factor de riesgo cardiovascular modificable. Los objetivos del estudio han sido: estimar la prevalencia de hipertensión arterial en población adulta de la Comunitat Valenciana, describir el grado de conocimiento, tratamiento y control de la hipertensión y la fuerza de asociación entre determinados factores y la presencia de hipertensión arterial. El punto de partida ha sido una submuestra de 413 hombres y 415 mujeres de edades comprendidas entre los 16 y los 90 años del estudio transversal de base poblacional (encuesta de nutrición) realizado en la Comunitat Valenciana entre 2010 y 2011. Com…

This endemic occupational disease has become a foodborne and travel-associated zoonosis primarily affecting Turkish immigrants.
Socioeconomic differences in the use of alcohol and drunkenness in adolescents: Trends in the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study in Finla…
2018
Aims: The aims of this study were to explore time-based trends of socioeconomic differences in alcohol use and drunkenness in Finnish adolescents from 1990 to 2014 and to investigate the significance of two indicators in detecting socioeconomic differences in alcohol use and drunkenness. Methods: Data were retrieved from seven surveys conducted as part of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study in Finland from 1990 to 2014. The alcohol use and drunkenness of 15-year-old students, as well as socioeconomic status, including educational aspiration and perceived family wealth, were assessed via a self-report questionnaire. Logistic regression models were used to investigate t…
Situational factors shape moral judgements in the trolley dilemma in Eastern, Southern and Western countries in a culturally diverse sample
2022
The study of moral judgements often centres on moral dilemmas in which options consistent with deontological perspectives (that is, emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are in conflict with options consistent with utilitarian judgements (that is, following the greater good based on consequences). Greene et al. (2009) showed that psychological and situational factors (for example, the intent of the agent or the presence of physical contact between the agent and the victim) can play an important role in moral dilemma judgements (for example, the trolley problem). Our knowledge is limited concerning both the universality of these effects outside the United States and the impact of …
Income and Physical Activity among Adults: Evidence from Self-Reported and Pedometer-Based Physical Activity Measurements
2015
This study examined the relationship between income and physical activity by using three measures to illustrate daily physical activity: the self-reported physical activity index for leisure-time physical activity, pedometer-based total steps for overall daily physical activity, and pedometer-based aerobic steps that reflect continuous steps for more than 10 min at a time. The study population consisted of 753 adults from Finland (mean age 41.7 years; 64% women) who participated in 2011 in the follow-up of the ongoing Young Finns study. Ordinary least squares models were used to evaluate the associations between income and physical activity. The consistency of the results was explored by us…
Electronic Energy Meter Based on a Tunnel Magnetoresistive Effect (TMR) Current Sensor
2017
In the present work, the design and microfabrication of a tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) electrical current sensor is presented. After its physical and electrical characterization, a wattmeter is developed to determine the active power delivered to a load from the AC 50/60 Hz mains line. Experimental results are shown up to 1000 W of power load. A relative uncertainty of less than 1.5% with resistive load and less than 1% with capacitive load was obtained. The described application is an example of how TMR sensing technology can play a relevant role in the management and control of electrical energy.

Maslachin yleisen työuupumuksen arviointimenetelmän (MBI-GS) rakenne ja pysyvyys: pitkittäistutkimus kuntoutusasiakkaiden keskuudessa
2012
Tämän pitkittäistutkimuksen tavoitteena on tarkastella Maslachin yleisen työuupumuksen arviointimenetelmän (MBI-GS) rakennetta ja sen ajallista pysyvyyttä. MBI-GS on kansainvälisesti tunnetuin ja käytetyin työuupumuskysely, mutta sen aikaisempi tutkimus on rajoittunut poikkileikkausasetelmiin sekä työtekijäaineistoihin, joissa työuupumusoireilu on ollut vähäistä. Tämän tutkimuksen aineisto koostuu työntekijöistä, jotka ovat hakeutuneet kuntoutukseen erilaisten työhön liittyvien terveys- ja hyvinvointiongelmien vuoksi. Kuntoutujat täyttivät MBI-GS-työuupumuskyselyn kuntoutukseen tullessa (T1 n = 155) sekä 4 kuukautta tämän jälkeen (T2 n = 140). Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittivat, että MBI-GS- m…
