El libro y la lectura en Valencia (1300-1410). Notas para su estudio
2020
Through this article, we try to underline some aspects related to the research undertaken on the book and its different uses. We have centred our attention on the social meanings of possessing a book for private individuals: the book as an instrument of work and/ or study, the book for entertainment, etc. Every single one attests to an attitude of the individual as regards the Written Culture and, above all, the role of the latter in the consolidation of a social status. Cet article tend à faire ressortir certains aspects en rapport avec la recherche sur le livre et ses différentes utilisations, en particulier les diverses significations de la possession d'un livre par les particuliers: le …

Genome-wide promoter methylation analysis in neuroblastoma identifies prognostic methylation biomarkers.
2012
Background: Accurate outcome prediction in neuroblastoma, which is necessary to enable the optimal choice of risk-related therapy, remains a challenge. To improve neuroblastoma patient stratification, this study aimed to identify prognostic tumor DNA methylation biomarkers.Results: To identify genes silenced by promoter methylation, we first applied two independent genome-wide methylation screening methodologies to eight neuroblastoma cell lines. Specifically, we used re-expression profiling upon 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (DAC) treatment and massively parallel sequencing after capturing with a methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD-seq). Putative methylation markers were selected from DAC-upregulated …
Science and Healthy Meals in the World: Nutritional Epigenomics and Nutrigenetics of the Mediterranean Diet
2020
The Mediterranean Diet (MD), UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, has become a scientific topic of high interest due to its health benefits. The aim of this review is to pick up selected studies that report nutrigenomic or nutrigenetic data and recapitulate some of the biochemical/genomic/genetic aspects involved in the positive health effects of the MD. These include (i) the antioxidative potential of its constituents with protective effects against several diseases; (ii) the epigenetic and epigenomic effects exerted by food components, such as Indacaxanthin, Sulforaphane, and 3-Hydroxytyrosol among others, and their involvement in the modulation of miRNA expression; (iii) the …
Equity in local health: participatory tool to assess physical and socioeconomic settings in Spain
2020
Abstract To address local health with a focus on equity and social determinants in a participative way, an intersectoral health analysis must be within reach, with the participation of citizens in every step of the process, as well as the support and commitment of policy-makers. Tools that allow collective evaluation of the people's places and organized data collection are also required. In June of 2019, the translation and transcultural adaptation of the Place Standard Tool, as well as its validation in two municipalities was launched to have available a Spanish tool to evaluate places focusing on equity and social determinants, including equity in all the phases of the assessment process …

Measurement Invariance and Construct Validity of the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) in Community Volunteers in Vietnam.
2022
Worldwide, the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) has become the most widely used measure of life satisfaction. Recently, an authorized Vietnamese-language version has been introduced. Using a convenience sample comprising community volunteers from Ho Chi Minh City (N = 1073), confirmatory support was found for the cross-national constancy of the one-dimensional structure underlying the SWLS. Corrected item–total polyserial correlations and Omega coefficient were satisfactory. Using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, configural, metric, and scalar invariance of the SWLS factorial structure were tested by gender, age, marital status, income, and educational level. Strong evidence of …
The status of the human embryo according to Michael Sandel
2012
Michael Sandel es uno de los filósofos norteamericanos más comprometidos socialmente. En este trabajo, analizamos sus pensamientos en relación con el estatuto moral del embrión humano. En general, Sandel defiende que la vida humana debería considerarse como un regalo, el cual, en su opinión, la haría intangible. Sin embargo, parece que defiende la posibilidad de utilizar embriones humanos para experimentos biomédicos. Examinamos aquí el principio biológico de la vida humana, y argumentamos que un embrión humano temprano no es un grupo de células carente de una estructura programada, sino un ser vivo de nuestra especie, perfectamente organizado, con identidad genética individual, la capacida…
Infant mortality gap in the Baltic region - Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania - in relation to macroeconomic factors in 1996-2010.
2013
Background and Objective. A constant gap has appeared in infant mortality among the 3 Baltic States - Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania – since the restoration of independence in 1991. The aim of the study was to compare infant mortality rates in all the 3 Baltic countries and examine some of the macro- and socioeconomic factors associated with infant mortality. Material and Methods. The data were obtained from international databases, such as World Health Organization and EUROSTAT, and the national statistical databases of the Baltic States. The time series data sets (1996–2010) were used in the regression and correlation analysis. Results. In all the 3 Baltic States, a strong and significant…
