La regulación del coeficiente de recursos propios en las Cajas de Ahorros españolas ¿Convergencia o efectividad?
2000
Victor.E.Barrios@uv.es En las dos últimas décadas se ha producido un intenso proceso de capitalización de las cajas de ahorros españolas que ha coincidido, desde 1985, con un endurecimiento de la legislación bancaria de control de recursos propios. En este marco de referencia cabe preguntarse si esta regulación indujo a estas entidades a incrementar sus cocientes de capital, hasta el punto de que éstos alcanzasen niveles superiores a los que habrían mantenido en caso de no haber existido la misma. Con ese objetivo, en este trabajo se analiza la efectividad de la regulación de capital proponiendo, para ello, diversos métodos empíricos basados en el estudio del proceso de convergencia de los …

TheMedicago truncatulahypermycorrhizal B9 mutant displays an altered response to phosphate and is more susceptible toAphanomyces euteiches
2014
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) plays a key role in the development of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, which is favoured when Pi is limiting in the environment. We have characterized the Medicago truncatula hypermycorrhizal B9 mutant for its response to limiting (P/10) and replete (P2) Pi. On P2, mycorrhization was significantly higher in B9 plants than in wild-type (WT). The B9 mutant displayed hallmarks of Pi-limited plants, including higher levels of anthocyanins and lower concentrations of Pi in shoots than WT plants. Transcriptome analyses of roots of WT and B9 plants cultivated on P2 or on P/10 confirmed the Pi-limited profile of the mutant on P2 and highlighted its altered response t…
Maximal function estimates and self-improvement results for Poincaré inequalities
2018
Our main result is an estimate for a sharp maximal function, which implies a Keith–Zhong type self-improvement property of Poincaré inequalities related to differentiable structures on metric measure spaces. As an application, we give structure independent representation for Sobolev norms and universality results for Sobolev spaces. peerReviewed
Roles of p53, NF-κB and the androgen receptor in controlling NGAL expression in prostate cancer cell lines
2018
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL a.k.a lipocalin 2, lnc2) is a secreted protein which can form a complex with matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9). This MMP9/NGAL complex has been associated with metastasis. MMP9 and NGAL are detected in the urine of patients afflicted with many different types of cancer, including prostate cancer. The effects of p53, NF-κB and the androgen receptor (AR) on the expression of NGAL was examined in four prostate cancer cell lines. Prostate cancer cell lines that are AR negative and expressed either mutant or no p53 (DU145 and PC3) displayed higher levels of NGAL expression compared to the prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP and 22Rv-1) which are AR …
Interpolated measures with bounded density in metric spaces satisfying the curvature-dimension conditions of Sturm
2011
We construct geodesics in the Wasserstein space of probability measure along which all the measures have an upper bound on their density that is determined by the densities of the endpoints of the geodesic. Using these geodesics we show that a local Poincar\'e inequality and the measure contraction property follow from the Ricci curvature bounds defined by Sturm. We also show for a large class of convex functionals that a local Poincar\'e inequality is implied by the weak displacement convexity of the functional.
Rationing of Nursing Care and Professional Burnout Among Nurses Working in Cardiovascular Settings
2021
Introduction: Nursing needs close interpersonal contact with the patient and emotional involvement, therefore can contribute to professional burnout and rationing of nursing care.Aim: Assessing the relationship between the rationing of nursing care and professional burnout in nursing staff.Materials and Methods: The study included a group of 219 nurses working in cardiovascular facilities. This was a cross-sectional study designed to investigate the relationship between factors of the care rationing and professional burnout. The survey data was collected with standardised and research instruments such as the revised Basel Extent of Rationing of Nursing Care questionnaire (BERNCA-R) and the …
Quaternary transition pathway in sol–gel encapsulated haemoglobin tracked by NIR and UV spectral relaxations
2008
→T structural transition of haemoglobin (hb), the protein responsible for oxygen (o) transport in the red blood cells of vertebrates, is the hall mark example. This transition, which regu lates o2 uptake in the lungs and o2 release in the tissues, is a switch in the quaternary structure of the protein from a low-affinity state (T) to a high-affinity state (R), two well-characterised structures. The struc tural pathway connecting the end states of this transition remains unclear, however, although recently several experimental 1 or
A study of international work camp volunteers' attitudes and experiences of English as a lingua franca
2014
Yhä useammalla nuorella aikuisella on omakohtaisia kokemuksia englannin kielen käytöstä monikulttuurisessa ympäristössä, esimerkiksi vaihto-opiskelun tai vapaaehtoistyön kautta. Kyseisissä tilanteissa puhuttu englanti poikkeaa monin tavoin oppitunneilla opituista ja natiivien käyttämästä englannista. Tutkielman aiheena on selvittää, kuinka Suomessa vuonna 2012 järjestetyille vapaaehtoistyöleireille osallistuneet nuoret kokivat englannin kielen käytön leireillä ja millaisia asenteita heillä on englannin kieltä kohtaan. Tavoitteena on selvittää, kuinka he asennoituvat omaan ja toistensa kielenkäyttöön, aksenttiin, natiivien kanssa viestintään, mukauttamiseen ja koodinvaihtoon ja millaisia kei…
Etude de la régulation du facteur de transcription ATB2 chez Medicago truncatula
2013
Rapport de stage de Master 2 Spécialité Biologie Intégrative des Interactions Plantes, Microbes, Environnement BAP GEAPSI; Master; Climatic changes since more than a century combined with the urge for better crop yields due to a huge demographic growth and coupled with the need for a more sustainable agriculture led to a number of stresses for plants. Understanding them and their effect on growth, seed quality and seed production of plants is one of the most important agronomical issues of our time. We have chosen to study legumes because they are a major lipid and protein source, as both food and feed, and for their unique ability to absorb the atmospheric nitrogen via a symbiosis with Rhi…
