On the Assessment of Fitness to Drive: Steering and Brake Operative Forces
2021
[EN] The Directive (EU) 2015/653 aimed at facilitating that the maximum force that any disabled driver could make on the vehicle's primary controls could be adjusted to their needs. The technical adjustment in the vehicle's design requires a measurement of the operational forces applied by the driver on the steering and brake controls, in order to determine its functional capacity during the execution of driving maneuvers. The objective of this paper is to define the steering and braking operative forces used for driving current market M1 motor vehicles for the ¿fitness to drive assessment of drivers with physical disabilities. A total of 200 trials were performed with 17 different vehicles…
Spatial analysis of the relationship between mortality from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and drinking water hardness
2004
Journal Article; Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; Reproduced with permission from Environmental Health Perspectives. Previously published scientific papers have reported a negative correlation between drinking water hardness and cardiovascular mortality. Some ecologic and case-control studies suggest the protective effect of calcium and magnesium concentration in drinking water. In this article we present an analysis of this protective relationship in 538 municipalities of Comunidad Valenciana (Spain) from 1991-1998. We used the Spanish version of the Rapid Inquiry Facility (RIF) developed under the European Environment and Health Information System (EUROHEIS) research project. The strateg…
Los sistemas de regadío tradicional en el interior valenciano. La vega requenense del río Magro y sus maniantiales
2001
La Vega del río Magro, en su tramo requenense, atesora un rico patrimonio ligado al uso tradicional del agua. A lo largo de ambas márgenes del río se encuentra un valioso sistema de regadío, recorrido por varias acequias, que amén de facilitar la irrigación de los campos permitió durante décadas el funcionamiento de una veintena de artilugios hidráulicos (molinos). De la misma manera la regulación y ordenación del uso del agua del río y de manantiales contribuyen en el valor patrimonial del citado sistema. El objetivo de este artículo es la revalorización de los antiguos sistemas de regadío y todos sus elementos que, a lo largo de la historia, han configurado un paisaje cultural no siempre …
Efficiency improvement of a ground coupled heat pump system from energy management
2011
The installed capacity of an air conditioning system is usually higher than the average cooling or heating demand along the year. So, most of the time, the system is working under its actual capacity. In this contribution, we study the way to improve the efficiency of a ground coupled heat pump air conditioning system by adapting its produced thermal energy to the actual thermal demand. For this purpose, an air conditioning system composed by a ground coupled heat pump and a central fan coil linked to an office located in a cooling dominated area was simulated, and a new management strategy aiming to diminish electrical consumption was developed under the basic constraint that comfort requi…
Aplicación de la evidencia científica en la práctica clínica: optimización de la atención sanitaria a los pacientes con úlceras por presión o riesgo …
2017
Este estudio sobre la aplicación de la evidencia científica en la práctica clínica, mediante la evaluación de la provisión de servicios sanitarios para la prevención y tratamiento de úlceras por presión (UPP), en la red sanitaria pública de la Comunidad Valenciana ha sido motivado por la alta incidencia de este tipo de lesiones y por sus repercusiones socio-económicas y sanitarias, al considerarse como un problema de salud pública. Las Guías de Práctica Clínica son consideradas como un instrumento que contribuyen a garantizar el uso de buenas prácticas en el ámbito asistencial y ayudan a los profesionales de la salud y a los pacientes a tomar las decisiones más adecuadas y seguras, en defin…
MASked-unconTrolled hypERtension management based on office BP or on ambulatory blood pressure measurement (MASTER) Study: a randomised controlled tr…
2018
Introduction Masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) carries an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) complications and can be identified through combined use of office (O) and ambulatory (A) blood pressure (BP) monitoring (M) in treated patients. However, it is still debated whether the information carried by ABPM should be considered for MUCH management. Aim of the MASked-unconTrolled hypERtension management based on OBP or on ambulatory blood pressure measurement (MASTER) Study is to assess the impact on outcome of MUCH management based on OBPM or ABPM. Methods and analysis MASTER is a 4-year prospective, randomised, open-label, blinded-endpoint investigation. A total of 1240 treated hyp…
Plasma Insulin Levels and Hypoglycemia Affect Subcutaneous Interstitial Glucose Concentration
2018
[EN] Background: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) accuracy during hypoglycemia is suboptimal. This might be partly explained by insulin or hypoglycemia-induced changes in the plasma interstitial subcutaneous (SC) fluid glucose gradient. The aim of the present study was to assess the role of plasma insulin (PI) and hypoglycemia itself in the plasma and interstitial SC fluid glucose concentration in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Eleven subjects with type 1 diabetes (age 36.59.1 years, HbA(1c) 7.90.4% [62.8 +/- 2.02mmol/mol]; mean +/- standard deviation) were evaluated under hyperinsulinemic euglycemia and hypoglycemia. Each subject underwent two randomized crossover clam…
From ILS to Library Services Platforms: needs and difficulties for change in a university library

Collaboration and Decision Making in Crisis Situations
2016
[EN] Emergencies are critical situations that demand immediate action to avoid adverse consequences to life and property. Recent events around the world highlight the importance of the theme. A key challenge in Emergency Management is decision-making under time pressure, with an overload of unconfirmed, uncertain and conflicting information, including the management of many people, with distinct and possibly fluid roles, in different places. Collaboration in these settings is an interesting element, since emergency response generally involves multiple agencies and the public, which, having different views, protocols and priorities, must act in concert to handle the situation. In addition, a…
La delimitación del espacio urbano de Valencia a través de la red viaria: Análisis de fuentes de información libre y primeros resultados
2015
El objetivo de este trabajo es testar la utilidad de la información de redes viarias procedente de fuentes de datos libres para delimitar los espacios urbanos españoles y su idoneidad para realizar un seguimiento en el tiempo de los procesos urbanos. La necesidad de esta delimitación se fundamenta en que el modelo de ciudad ha cambiado tras intensos procesos de urbanización dispersa, por lo que resulta complejo establecer un límite preciso para el entorno urbano. El análisis realizado permite concluir que tanto Cartociudad como OpenStreetMap permiten identificar con relativa precisión las zonas urbanas, pero ninguna de ellas presenta información uniforme de todo el territorio que permita de…
