Faint γ-ray sources at low redshift: the radio galaxy IC 1531
2018
We present amultiwavelength study of IC 1531 (z=0.02564), an extragalactic radio source associated with the γ -ray object 3FGL J0009.9-3206 and classified as a blazar of uncertain type in the Third Fermi-Large Area Telescope AGN catalog (3LAC). A core-jet structure, visible in radio and X-rays, is enclosed within a ~220 kpc wide radio structure. The morphology and spectral characteristics of the kiloparsec jet in radio and X-rays are typical of Fanaroff-Riley type I galaxies. The analysis of the radio data and optical spectrum and different diagnostic methods based on the optical, infrared, and γ -ray luminosities also support a classification as a low-power RG seen at moderate angles (θ = …
Monitorización e individualización posológica de glucocerebrosidasa en pacientes con enfermedad de Gaucher Tipo I
2018
La enfermedad de Gaucher tipo I (EG1) es una enfermedad de depósito lisosomal causada por una deficiencia de la enzima glucocerebrosidasa, cuyo tratamiento consiste en la reposición mediante la administración exógena de la enzima deficiente, denominada terapia enzimática sustitutiva(TES). Actualmente, existe una gran controversia y una elevada variabilidad en la dosificación de la TES y en los regímenes utilizados en la práctica clínica debido a la amplia variabilidad observada en la respuesta a la TES; además las modificaciones de dosis para objetivar respuesta al tratamiento se alargan entre 12-24 meses, en una terapia con un elevado impacto económico al sistema nacional de salud. Sin emb…
Fight against cancer in Italy: What patients, caregivers and healthy citizens think about care delivery from National Health System
2022
Objective: This survey aimed to analyse healthy citizens (HC), cancer patients and their caregivers (CP&CG) perception about cancer care among six different Italian regions. Methods: The survey for HC was conducted by a multinational market research institute (IPSOS) through a computer-assisted web interviewing system, using a dataset of people who had consented to be interviewed for previous studies. CP&CG were interviewed by patient advocates using paper questionnaires. Results: HC completed 1831 questionnaires between May and June 2019; CP&CG filled 1779 questionnaires between May and October 2019. 55% of all interviewees felt they were adequately informed about cancer, with …
El compromiso con la sustentabilidad en el activismo ecologista
2021
En este artículo se exponen los principales resultados de un estudio exploratorio del compromiso con la sostenibilidad de los activistas ecologistas. El análisis de las narrativas de los participantes, obtenidas a través de entrevistas semi-estructuradas de 7 activistas ecologistas muestra como su compromiso con la sostenibilidad se corresponde con el desarrollo de un enfoque ecosocial de la sostenibilidad que se descompone en un factor ambiental y un factor social que interrelacionan entre sí. También se relaciona con una identidad ambiental de conexión con la naturaleza; una pluralidad de identidades individuales como agentes de cambio y roles sociales (activistas, conservacionistas, cons…
The common sense model of illness self-regulation : a conceptual review and proposed extended model
2021
The common sense model of illness self-regulation outlines the dynamic processes by which individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to health threats and illness-related information. An extended version of the model is proposed, which specifies additional constructs and processes to explain how lay perceptions of health threats impact coping responses and health-related outcomes. The extended model provides detail on: (a) the mediating process by which individuals’ illness representations relate to illness outcomes through adoption of coping procedures; (b) how illness representations are activated by presentation of health-threatening stimuli; (c) behavioral and treatment beliefs as det…

The role of maternal effects in host-parasite interactions: examination of the development of the immune defense in a colonial seabird, the black-leg…
2004
One of the main aims of evolutionary biology is to understand the mechanisms responsible for the phenotypic variation on which natural selection can act. Maternal effects occur when a mother's phenotype or her environment influence her offspring's phenotype. Despite the importance of such effects for the ecology of host-parasite interactions, their role has been relatively neglected to date. In this thesis, we examined how mothers influence the immune defense of their young in an environment that varies in space and time. This work has primarily focused on a colonial seabird, the black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla). Using this model, we have first shown that specific maternal antibodi…
La impugnación del despido colectivo
2022
El eje central de este estudio consiste en analizar la regulación normativa de la modalidad procesal de impugnación del despido colectivo, así como las principales dudas interpretativas que su aplicación genera. Con ello, se pretende, determinar si el legislador ha logrado el objetivo perseguido por la reforma del régimen jurídico del despido colectivo, a saber, una mayor seguridad jurídica, una menor ralentización del procedimiento, y, en consecuencia, la tan pretendida celeridad proclamada por la reforma y la concreción de la causa, y, por ende, una menor judicialización respecto de esta. Pues bien, en el capítulo primero, como paso previo necesario para conocer los elementos de la config…

Broad-band Spectral Evolution of Scorpius X-1 along its Color-Color Diagram
2007
We analyze a large collection of RXTE archive data from April 1997 to August 2003 of the bright X-ray source Scorpius X-1 in order to study the broadband spectral evolution of the source for different values of the inferred mass accretion rate by studying energy spectra from selected regions in the Z-track of its Color-Color Diagram. A two-component model, consisting of a soft thermal component interpreted as thermal emission from an accretion disk and a thermal Comptonization component, is unable to fit the whole 3--200 keV energy spectrum at low accretion rates. Strong residuals in the highest energy band of the spectrum require the addition of a third component that can be fitted with a …
