Psychiatric comorbidity in compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD)
2020
This is a post-print version of the paper. To cite this article: Ballester-Arnal, R., Castro-Calvo, J., Giménez-García, C., Gil-Juliá, B. & Gil-Llario, M.D (2020). Psychiatric comorbidity in Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD). Addictive Behaviors, 107, 106384. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addbeh.2020.106384 Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) is characterized by a persistent failure to control intense and recurrent sexual impulses, urges, and/or thoughts, resulting in repetitive sexual behavior that causes a marked impairment in important areas of functioning. Data collected from clinical populations suggest that CSBD frequently co-occurs with other Axis I and II psychiatric dis…
Tectonic Sustainable Building Design for the Development of Renovation Scenarios – Analysis of ten European renovation research projects
2018
The investigation of 10 European building renovation research projects presented in this paper demonstrates that recent research in this field is currently centralized around quantifiable objectives i.e. development of energy efficient renovation scenarios, whereas the more qualitative objectives in renovation projects such as aesthetics, identity and/or social dimensions are rarely addressed. Furthermore, the result of this investigation together with the recent researches about the current practice of building renovation indicates that many of renovated buildings, which now are claimed to be sustainable are not addressing all aspects of a conventional definition of sustainability. Lastly,…
The cytoprotective protein MANF promotes neuronal survival independently from its role as a GRP78 cofactor
2021
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress-regulated protein exhibiting cytoprotective properties through a poorly understood mechanism in various in vitro and in vivo models of neuronal and non-neuronal damage. Although initially characterized as a secreted neurotrophic factor for midbrain dopamine neurons, MANF has recently gained more interest for its intracellular role in regulating the ER homeostasis, including serving as a cofactor of the chaperone glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78). We aimed for a better understanding of the neuroprotective mechanisms of MANF. Here we show for the first time that MANF promotes the survival of …
Structural selectivity provided by starburst dendrimers as pseudostationary phase in electrokinetic chromatography
1995
Abstract Starburst dendrimers (SBDs) were used as a pseudostationary phase in electrokinetic chromatography (EKC) of hydrophobic compounds. The selectivity of SBD-mediated EKC (SBD-EKC) was different from those in micellar EKC (MEKC) systems, in spite of the apparent structural resemblance between micelles and SBDs. The SBDs provided similar selectivity as polymer gel packing materials in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), showing little selectivity for alkyl groups and clear preference for aromatic compounds, especially for rigid, planar polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. The alkylation of SBDs resulted in the increased retention and hydrophobic selectivity while maintaining the …
Occurrence and clinical characteristics of Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD): A cluster analysis in two independent community samples.
2020
AbstractBackground and aimsCompulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) is characterized by a persistent failure to control intense and recurrent sexual impulses, urges, and/or thoughts, resulting in repetitive sexual behavior that causes a marked impairment in important areas of functioning. Despite its recent inclusion in the forthcoming ICD-11, concerns regarding its assessment, diagnosis, prevalence or clinical characteristics remain. The purpose of this study was to identify participants displaying CSBD through a novel data-driven approach in two independent samples and outline their sociodemographic, sexual, and clinical profile.MethodsSample 1 included 1,581 university students (female…
Modelización de riesgos climáticos y sistemas de vigilancia y alerta en la Comunitat Valenciana
2013
El primer objetivo de esta Tesis está relacionado con el desarrollo e implementación de diferentes sistemas de vigilancia y alerta para el territorio de la Comunitat Valenciana: un sistema de predicción meteorológica en tiempo real basado en el modelo atmosférico de mesoescala Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) y un sistema de previsión del Índice UV (UVI), basado en el modelo Santa Barbara DISORT Atmospheric Radiative Transfer (SBDART). Además, se propone una metodología que proporciona un entorno computacional adecuado para la administración y coordinación de los diferentes procesos implicados en ambos sistemas de vigilancia. La principal mejora de la predicción UVI es la utiliza…
A multi-methodology and sustainability-supporting framework for implementation and assessment of a holistic building renovation
La ristrutturazione degli edifici in futuro dovrà essere condotta secondo una prospettiva più olistica legata alla sostenibilità vista in una più ampia gamma di obiettivi/criteri e facilitata dagli scenari di ristrutturazione possibili. La ristrutturazione degli edifici dovrebbe servire a migliorarne le performance al fine di soddisfare le esigenze degli utenti, rendendo questi ultimi meno vulnerabili in relazione ai futuri costi energetici. Vi è un grande potenziale per ridurre il consumo di energia negli edifici esistenti. Tuttavia, ciò non deve comprometterè i valori architettonici e di qualità che rendono particolari. Pertanto, non possono essere semplicemente rinnovati, ma devono subir…
Las bibliotecas de la Universitat de Valéncia
2022
La Biblioteca de la Universitat de València ha recorrido un largo camino desde su inauguración, en 1788, hasta convertirse en el centro de recursos para el aprendizaje, la docencia, la investigación y la cultura que es hoy en día. Un conjunto de bibliotecas al servicio de la comunidad universitaria y de la sociedad en general. Las bibliotecas de la Universitat de València se extienden por cuatro campus, dos en la ciudad de València, uno en Burjassot-Paterna y otro en Ontinyent, ofreciendo los mismos servicios a estudiantes y profesores de variadas disciplinas. En este video os presentamos los diferentes servicios e instalaciones de las bibliotecas a través de la mirada de profesores, estudi…
