Reply to “Caution in underrepresentation of older adults in clinical trials on COVID-19 vaccines”
2021
We would like to thank Chen et al. for their comments on our recently published paper in Ageing Research Reviews (Veronese et al., 2021). In this reply we would like to answer to the points raised in their letter. Regarding the first question, we decided to run our search only in PubMed/Medline and ClinicalTrials.gov since the phase II-III randomized controlled trials of SARS-CoV 2 vaccines, considering the urgency for interventions to ameliorate the pandemic situation, received a great deal of interest. Therefore, they were usually published in high impact factor journals, reported in PubMed, and their protocols were usually reported in clinicaltrials.gov. However, following the suggestion…

La sociedad como voluntad y representación: la teoría de la sociedad en la eudemonología schopenhaueriana
2012
Resumen: En este artículo me ocupo de la teoría de la sociedad que Schopenhauer presenta en sus Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit. En primer lugar, intento desarrollar la articulación de estos aforismos con el resto de su filosofía, de modo que analizo la génesis de la eudemonología especialmente en los manuscritos póstumos de 1826-1830. A continuación, utilizo la distinción entre voluntad y representación como herramienta hermenéutica para la interpretación de la teoría social de Schopenhauer: en el caso de la sociedad como representación, destaco la crítica schopenhaueriana del honor y sus implicaciones para la teoría de la sociedad y en el caso de la sociedad como voluntad, me centro en los …
Search and Comprehension Processes in Learning from Text
2008
We analyzed the relationships between comprehension skill and search strategies in instructional text. In two experiments, college-level readers were asked to search a computer-presented science text in order to answer different types of questions. High level questions required the integration of information across paragraphs, whereas low level questions requested the localization of information within a single paragraph. High level questions were re-read more often and they resulted in broader text search patterns. Furthermore, students who were diagnosed as good comprehenders located relevant sections of the text faster and spent more time on those sections. Poor comprehenders, on the oth…

Fitness of Members of Supervisory Board
2015
This chapter deals with the fitness of members of supervisory boards. Since 2009, German insurance regulatory law has provided internal qualification standards for the supervisory board members of insurance companies. In accordance with Paragraph 7a, sec. 4, clause 1 of the VAG [German Insurance Supervision Act], the members of supervisory boards must be able to fulfill their tasks and supervisory functions in accordance with their level of expertise. This new requirement comports with the previous standards of German corporate law, established by the BGH [German Federal Court of Justice] in its “Hertie”-ruling. As such, this ruling will also serve as a basis to interpret the expertise requ…
