Questioning the Images of Atrocity: An Introduction
2015
The images of atrocity, either analog or digital, are always the trace of an encounter between the gaze of a photographer or a cameraman and a human being suffering from the painful effects of man-made violence. The archive images resulting from such an encounter raise some inevitable questions: who took them and for what purpose? Is it possible to retrace the process that led to these shots? What do they hide behind what the eye can see? Owing to their defective nature and the changes they have endured throughout history, these images strongly contribute to shape collective memory by becoming real sites of memory for ethnic or national communities. Therefore, the archive of human pain, enc…
DNA Methylation and Non-Coding RNAs during Tissue-Injury Associated Pain.
2022
While about half of the population experience persistent pain associated with tissue damages during their lifetime, current symptom-based approaches often fail to reduce such pain to a satisfactory level. To provide better patient care, mechanism-based analgesic approaches must be developed, which necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the nociceptive mechanism leading to tissue injury-associated persistent pain. Epigenetic events leading the altered transcription in the nervous system are pivotal in the maintenance of pain in tissue injury. However, the mechanisms through which those events contribute to the persistence of pain are not fully understood. This review provides a summar…
Universidad Politécnica Radiotelevisión. Creación y primera etapa (2000-2008)
2012
En el artículo se trata la historia de los canales UPVRadio y Universidad Politécnica Televisión desde el año 2000 a 2008, incluyendo el proceso de estudio, diseño y puesta en marcha de ambos y una descripción de los objetivos, el modelo de gestión, la plantilla, los canales de emisión, la programación, la audiencia y las fuentes de financiación alternativa en el régimen permanente. Se comenta también la infraestructura de soporte de ambos canales, con apartados para las dependencias de la cadena, el equipamiento de la radio y el de la televisión. The article narrates the story of UPVRadio and Universidad Politecnica Television University from 2000 to 2008, including the process of study, d…
Sepsis at ICU admission does not decrease 30-day survival in very old patients : a post-hoc analysis of the VIP1 multinational cohort study
2020
AbstractBackgroundThe number of intensive care patients aged ≥ 80 years (Very old Intensive Care Patients; VIPs) is growing. VIPs have high mortality and morbidity and the benefits of ICU admission are frequently questioned. Sepsis incidence has risen in recent years and identification of outcomes is of considerable public importance. We aimed to determine whether VIPs admitted for sepsis had different outcomes than those admitted for other acute reasons and identify potential prognostic factors for 30-day survival.ResultsThis prospective study included VIPs with Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores ≥ 2 acutely admitted to 307 ICUs in 21 European countries. Of 3869 acutely admi…
Associations between parental rules, style of communication and children's screen time
2015
Background Research suggests an inverse association between parental rules and screen time in pre-adolescents, and that parents’ style of communication with their children is related to the children’s time spent watching TV. The aims of this study were to examine associations of parental rules and parental style of communication with children’s screen time and perceived excessive screen time in five European countries. Methods UP4FUN was a multi-centre, cluster randomised controlled trial with pre- and post-test measurements in each of five countries; Belgium, Germany, Greece, Hungary and Norway. Questionnaires were completed by the children at school and the parent questionnaire was brough…
Mutilation of RNA phage Qβ virus-like particles: from icosahedrons to rods
2000
Icosahedral virus-like particles (VLPs) of RNA phage Qbeta are stabilized by four disulfide bonds of cysteine residues 74 and 80 within the loop between beta-strands F and G (FG loop) of the monomeric subunits, which determine the five-fold and quasi-six-fold symmetry contacts of the VLPs. In order to reduce the stability of Qbeta VLPs, we mutationally converted the amino acid stretch 76-ANGSCD-81 within the FG loop into the 76-VGGVEL-81 sequence. It led to production in Escherichia coli cells of aberrant rod-like Qbeta VLPs, along with normal icosahedral capsids. The length of the rod-like particles exceeded 4-30 times the diameter of icosahedral Qbeta VLPs.
Magnetic Levitation – Modelling, Identification and Open Loop Verification
2020
<p>The paper describes a procedure using the first principle modelling and experimental identification of the Magnetic Levitation Model CE 152. It is a modified version of the paper [1]. The difference is that the identification and verification is done in open loop and constraints logic is added in the current paper. The author optimized and simplified dynamic model to a minimum to what is needed to characterize given system for the simulation and control design purposes. Only few open-loop experiments are needed to estimate the unknown parameters. Model quality is verified in open loop where the real and simulated data are compared. The model can serve as a simulation model for some…

Información política televisiva y espectacularización : un análisis comparativo de programas informativos y de infoentretenimiento
2014
Este artículo estudia la tendencia a la espectacularización en el tratamiento de la información política televisiva en España. Realizamos un estudio de espacios informativos, así como una comparación de los anteriores con los contenidos de programas de infoentretenimiento (infotainment). El análisis de los informativos se centra en los canales autonómicos Canal Sur y Canal 9RTVV, mientras que la muestra de infotainment abarca diez programas procedentes de cadenas tanto privadas como públicas.A partir de un análisis de contenido temático, los resultados indican similitudes entre los informativos y el infotainment en lo relativo a la espectacularización, siendo la personalización el indicador…
The news from the televisions by Internet: analysis of web site of Tele5 and Antena3
2005
Este trabajo propone realizar un análisis comparativo de los contenidos informativos proporcionados por las televisiones generalistas españolas a través de su página web. Aunque Internet aún no ha experimentado el desarrollo suficiente para que una mayoría de usuarios pueda acceder a los contenidos audiovisuales a través del ordenador en condiciones de calidad y velocidad equiparables a la televisión, las televisiones sí han comenzado a aprovechar las posibilidades actuales de la Red para proporcionar a sus usuarios diversos contenidos relacionados con su programación (series de producción propia, novedades, resúmenes de los programas ofrecidos cada día…) e incluso contenidos configurados e…
