Qué_impide_la_plena_armonía_entre_la_física_y_la_teología_cristiana?
2021
The item is the handout for a seminar session held on 21.09.2021 at the Dpt. of Philosophy of the University of Navarre, Pamplona, Spain. The presentation approaches the question "what is the main reason for the lack of harmony between Physics and Christian theology". This presentation defends the view that the main reason for the lack of harmony is that the epistemological stances are opposed to each other. That opposition can be reduced by developing a conceptual frame that is free of three intrinsic limitations of Physics. This frame is intimately linked to Physics. It does not alter Physics, but gives to Physics an epistemological outlook closer to that of Christian theology, when the l…
The One Savior Paradigm
2009
The one savior paradigm is discussed not only as doctrinal aspect of religious teachings but as one of mostly manifested aspect of our psychic, that should be adequately investigated. We suggest simple idea that could serve as starting cognitive model for the one savior paradigm, that might give effect in considering global aspects of humanity, e.g., such as global economy and exact sciences in more friendly connection with religious thinking.

"Treatment is of primary importance, and social assistance is secondary": A qualitative study on the organisation of tuberculosis (TB) care and patie…
2018
Background Vulnerable individuals with tuberculosis (TB) struggle to access and stay on treatment. While patient-related and social barriers to TB treatment adherence are well documented, less is known about how the organisation and delivery of TB care influences adherence behaviour. Aim To examine the influence of TB service organisation and culture on patients’ experience of starting and staying on treatment in Riga, Latvia. Methods An intervention package to support adherence to TB treatment amongst vulnerable patients in Riga, Latvia was piloted between August 2016 and March 2017. Qualitative observations (5), interviews with staff (20) and with TB patients (10) were conducted mid-way a…
Genetic variability of Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) populations from Latin America is associated with variations in susceptib…
2006
ABSTRACT Bacillus thuringiensis strains isolated from Latin American soil samples that showed toxicity against three Spodoptera frugiperda populations from different geographical areas (Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil) were characterized on the basis of their insecticidal activity, crystal morphology, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of parasporal crystals, plasmid profiles, and cry gene content. We found that the different S. frugiperda populations display different susceptibilities to the selected B. thuringiensis strains and also to pure preparations of Cry1B, Cry1C, and Cry1D toxins. Binding assays performed with pure toxin demonstrated that the differences in the …
Common receptor for Bacillus thuringiensis toxins Cry1Ac, Cry1Fa, and Cry1Ja in Helicoverpa armigera, Helicoverpa zea and Spodoptera exigua
2005
ABSTRACT Binding studies using 125 I-Cry1Ac and biotinylated Cry1Fa toxins indicate the occurrence of a common receptor for Cry1Ac, Cry1Fa, and Cry1Ja in Helicoverpa armigera , Helicoverpa zea , and Spodoptera exigua . Our results, along with previous binding data and the observed cases of cross-resistance, suggest that this pattern seems to be widespread among lepidopteran species.
Shared Binding Sites in Lepidoptera for Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ja and Cry1A Toxins
2001
ABSTRACT Bacillus thuringiensis toxins act by binding to specific target sites in the insect midgut epithelial membrane. The best-known mechanism of resistance to B. thuringiensis toxins is reduced binding to target sites. Because alteration of a binding site shared by several toxins may cause resistance to all of them, knowledge of which toxins share binding sites is useful for predicting cross-resistance. Conversely, cross-resistance among toxins suggests that the toxins share a binding site. At least two strains of diamondback moth ( Plutella xylostella ) with resistance to Cry1A toxins and reduced binding of Cry1A toxins have strong cross-resistance to Cry1Ja. Thus, we hypothesized that…
Interaction of Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins with Larval Midgut Binding Sites of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
2004
ABSTRACT In 1996, Bt-cotton (cotton expressing a Bacillus thuringiensis toxin gene) expressing the Cry1Ac protein was commercially introduced to control cotton pests. A threat to this first generation of transgenic cotton is the evolution of resistance by the insects. Second-generation Bt-cotton has been developed with either new B. thuringiensis genes or with a combination of cry genes. However, one requirement for the “stacked” gene strategy to work is that the stacked toxins bind to different binding sites. In the present study, the binding of 125 I-labeled Cry1Ab protein ( 125 I-Cry1Ab) and 125 I-Cry1Ac to brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) of Helicoverpa armigera was analyzed in com…
La alteración sobrevenida de las circunstancias contractuales y la doctrina rebus sic stantibus. Génesis y evolución de un principio jurídico
2016
The paper analyzes the philosophical-legal implications of the doctrine of the rebus sic stantibus clause. It corresponds to a non-formalist, dynamic and flexible view of law, and contracts in particular, as a historical phenomenon susceptible of evolution and adaptation to reality, to the circumstances of time and place. The paper deeps into the necessity of balance between security and justice, for which a rigorous technical-legal formulation of this legal figure is required.From this perspective we analyze the genesis and evolution of the doctrine and its process of progressive technical decantation.
La jurisprudencia existente acerca de la indumentaria del trabajador y otros elementos que afectan a su aspecto e imagen externa durante el trabajo
2021
Partiendo de la doctrina del “equilibrio de derechos” del Tribunal Constitucional sobre la solución de los conflictos de concurrencia entre derechos constitucionales, se analiza la jurisprudencia de los principales Tribunales acerca del conflicto entre la libertad de empresa y el derecho a la propia imagen del trabajador en relación la indumentaria de éste en el trabajo.
