Revision of AUDIT Consumption Items to Improve the Screening of Youth Binge Drinking
2017
This study analyzes the appropriateness of an improved version of one of the most frequently used instruments for the screening of high-risk alcohol consumption. This adaptation was created in accordance with certain limitations recognized by other researchers and in an attempt to adjust the content and scales of some items to a more consensual definition of binge drinking. After revising items 2 and 3, the areas under the ROC curves of the AUDIT and of different abbreviated versions were calculated. A total of 906 minors (468 females) between the ages of 15 and 17 were evaluated. Stratified sampling was conducted on a population of high school students in the city of Valencia (Spain). One …
Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference as Predictors of Disability in Nonagenarians : The Vitality 90+ Study
2017
Background Only scarce data exist on the association between obesity and disability in the oldest old. The purpose of this prospective study is to examine if body mass index and waist circumference (WC) are associated with incident mobility and activities of daily living (ADL) disability in nonagenarians. Methods We used longitudinal data from the Vitality 90+ Study, which is a population-based study conducted at the area of Tampere, Finland. Altogether 291 women and 134 men, aged 90–91 years, had measured data on body mass index and/or WC and did not have self-reported mobility or ADL disability at baseline. Incident mobility and ADL disability was followed-up on median 3.6 years (range 0.…
Chesterton: La paradoja como apertura a lo real. Perspectivas sociales y jurídico-políticas
2021
Una buena parte de la crisis de la Postmodernidad vienen dada por la imagen del mundo que hereda de la Modernidad. En esta última se prima un pensamiento racionalista, tendente a fijarse exclusivamente en lo medible y calculable, que acaba en un pensamiento disyuntivo, que separa, pidiéndole a todo análisis la claridad y la distinción propias de las ciencias matemáticas. La postmodernidad, hastiada de la esterilidad de este modelo de pensamiento, lo rechaza por el discurso antirracional y deconstructivista: todo es relato, el pensamiento y el lenguaje no pueden alcanzar la realidad, sea esta lo que sea. En la sociedad actual prolifera esta visión postmoderna, junto con retazos de la anterio…

La «ragione» del seguire una regola: un’esposizione divulgativa del paradosso di Kripke-Wittgenstein
2015
Il paradosso di cui si vuol qui dare una semplice introduzione prosastica, si inserisce nella più ampia e complessa problematica che sta alla base della nozione di regola (linguistica, matematica, etc.) e quella di seguire una regola. Una discussione divulgativa ed euristica di questo paradosso permetterà, tra le altre cose, di poter conseguire una maggiore chiarezza concettuale sull’origine, l’identità, la natura e la motivazione delle regole formali, prime fra tutte quelle aritmetiche, nonché di rivedere criticamente alcune precognizioni che noi tutti abbiamo della nozione di razionalità. Nonostante sia stato elaborato in ambito prettamente filosofico, l’esposizione divulgativa che di que…
Attributions and paradoxes of agency in socially sustainable development : perspectives from small-scale NGOs in Jinja, Uganda
2014
During the past decades, sustainable development has become an important phenomenon in the global development discourse. The concept has been widely used by both large international bodies such as the United Nations as well as small grassroots organization. In the beginning, the interest was mainly in questions of environmental and ecological aspects of the concept but especially since the introduction of the Human Development Approach the importance of social and cultural aspects of sustainable development became more important. In the discussions on Human Development and sustainable development, the people are in the center of the discussion. Both concepts emphasize the importance of agen…
Semantically Closed Languages Reconsidered. Re-Reading Alfred Tarski
2019
The text shows that Alfred Tarski studied semantics to define a true sentence in a m a t e r i a l l y a d e q u a t e and f o r m a l l y c o r r e c t way, and in effect he defined the co-called semantically closed languages as a subset of formalized ones, in which the occurrence of the Liar paradox is imminent because of the features of the language used. This is one of the points of Tarski’s heritage where misunderstandings constantly occur among the readers of Tarski‘s work, and that is why the present paper may prove to be useful by presenting suitable excerpts from the original Tarski’s text. Tarski found additional limiting criteria applicable to formalised languages, which may prev…
