Sexual and gender repression within the confession: confessors' manuals of the Modern Age (XVI-XVII centuries)
2018
La confesión de los pecados en ámbito católico, especialmente a raíz del Concilio de Trento, constituyó un medio eficaz para disciplinar las conductas individuales y sociales de los fieles. El objetivo primordial que me planteé con este trabajo es el análisis de los discursos eclesiásticos en torno a las mujeres y a las temáticas sexuales a través de la lectura de una tipología de fuentes directamente relacionada con el sacramento de la penitencia: los manuales de confesores. Mí hipótesis es que estas obras de literatura confesional, por su valor didáctico de adoctrinamiento de los sacerdotes, constituyeron un instrumento para endurecer la condición de subordinación de las mujeres a lo larg…
Ver, imaginar, escribir el mar
2014
Como lo han mostrado numerosos poetas y escritores, el mar permanece desde siempre en el imaginario humano y se manifiesta, por medio de imágenes simbólicas, tanto en los textos narrativos o poéticos, como en las más diversas creaciones artísticas. Según las épocas y las corrientes literarias e las mutaciones del pensamiento humano, debidas a factores múltiples (coyunturales, históricos, sociales, etc.)presenta unas caracterizaciones que reflejan el estado de ánimo del individuo y su medio cultural. También, como lo demuestran los estudios en el campo de la publicidad y del turismo, el mar ejerce un atractivo innegable en la sociedad contemporánea. Lugar imaginario de nuestros temores y de …
Data from the GIPEyOP online election poll for the 2015 Spanish General election.
2020
Abstract The general elections of 2015 in Spain took place in the middle of the Great Recession after several years of austerity economic policies. This election caused a political earthquake that shook the Spanish party system. During the campaign of that election, GIPEyOP (Elections and Public Opinion Research Group from University of Valencia) conducted a survey to collect relevant data about the electorate beliefs, intentions and motivations. This article describes the data set attained, which comprises 71 variables after removing, to ensure full anonymity, those variables that would potentially allow respondents to be identified. Respondents answered a self-administered online question…
Trait driving anger and driving styles among Colombian professional drivers
2019
Abstract This study analyzes the association between trait driving anger and driving styles in a sample of Colombian professional drivers. Additionally, the internal and external validity of the Deffenbacher's Driving Anger Scale (DAS-14) was examined in the study population. The DAS-14 and the Spanish Version of the Multidimensional Driving Style Inventory (S-MDSI) were administered to 492 urban bus and taxi operators. Average trait driving anger scores in the study population were similar to those reported in previous validation studies from Spain, Argentina, China, and Malaysia. After deleting three cross-loaded items, confirmatory factor analyses revealed a three-dimensional latent stru…
Desire and its preternse: Analysis of Intersubjective relations in Frank Capra's It happened one night
2019
The following paper analyzes the plot of the 1934 film It Happened One Night, by Frank Capra, an authentic emblem within the film genre of romantic comedy. In it, the protagonists manage to overcome the obstacles that are offered in their way thanks to the pretense of a relationship, the marital one, which finally will end up becoming effective. Recalling a famous Lacanian sentence, according to which human beings “pretend to pretend”, the plot devised by Capra will be analyzed in order to go over the steps that sequence such pretenses. These give order to a process of maturity in which the characters will become what they represent, evidencing the sexual nature of the desire that had impel…
Patient reported outcomes of symptoms and quality of life among cancer patients treated with palliative pelvic radiation: a pilot study
2011
Published version of an article from the journal: BMC Research Notes. Also available from the publisher: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1756-0500-4-252 BACKGROUND:There is limited high-quality research investigating the efficacy of palliative radiation (PPR) with regard to symptoms and quality of life (QOL) among cancer patients with pelvic soft tissue tumors. As a result, clinicians are left with mainly retrospective studies, without reliable data on which to base treatment decisions. As a first step of a subsequent analysis of PPR's efficacy, we aimed to determine whether it is feasible to prospectively measure symptoms and QOL among patients treated with PPR. A secondary aim was to explore pa…
Perspectives actuelles dans la microdélétion 22q11.2 : prise en charge du phénotype neurocomportemental
2015
Resume La microdeletion 22q11.2 est le syndrome microdeletionnel le plus frequent de la population generale. Le phenotype associe des anomalies de l’appareil pharynge embryonnaire a un phenotype neurocomportemental. La presentation clinique du syndrome est extremement variable d’un individu a l’autre, quelle que soit la taille de la deletion, et plus de 180 manifestations ont ete decrites, aucune n’etant pathognomonique. Les symptomes psychiatriques, particulierement de nature psychotique, sont frequents dans la microdeletion 22q11.2 et de nombreux psychiatres sont amenes a rencontrer ces patients. La prise en charge doit tenir compte des particularites du syndrome. L’evaluation de la neuro…
Merit, Competition, Distinction
2018
The article presents a critique of competition by introducing a concept called 'distinction'. Competition is thought to work as a guarantee of the fairness of meritocratic procedures (merit-based recruiting in the job market or e.g. entrance examinations). However, fairness created by competition is, even at its best, only relative. This critique is then used a part of a larger critique of the role of merit in society.
Effects of Coenzyme Q10 on Statin-Induced Myopathy
2015
Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplementation on statin-induced myopathy. Participants and Methods We searched the MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and EMBASE databases (November 1, 1987, to May 1, 2014) to identify randomized controlled trials investigating the impact of CoQ10 on muscle pain and plasma creatine kinase (CK) activity as 2 measures of statin-induced myalgia. Two independent reviewers extracted data on study characteristics, methods, and outcomes. Results We included 6 studies with 302 patients receiving statin therapy: 5 studies with 226 participants evaluated the effect of CoQ10 supplementation on plasma CK activity, and 5 studies (4 u…
Valenza e insegnamento della lingua straniera
2015
This work deals with valency, a key syntactic notion whose chemistry-inspired label was established by Lucien Tesnière (1959), one of the most well-known contributors to the Prague Linguistic Circle. We will concentrate on two questions: (a) to what extent does valency play a role in Second Language Learning (SLL)?; and (b) what role should the use of valency play in language teaching practices? This paper will provide answers to these questions and propose reasons for motivating the use of valency in SLL.
