Protection of the surviving spouse in French law
2021
While French inheritance law has recently sought to give everyone more freedom to anticipate the transmission of their estate, it still guarantees to the children a reserved portion in his estate. This guarantees the deceased?s children a minimum share in his/her estate. However, the mechanisms protecting this reserve are subject to legal adjustments when spouses wish to organize the protection of the couple?s survivor, either by submitting to a conventional matrimonial regime or by giving themselves gifts that improve the legal succession of the spouse. This ensures a balance between the protection of the spouse and that of the compulsory heirs. Not seeming to be satisfied, several famous …
Primo Levi, a critic humanist
2015
La intención de este escrito es reflexionar sobre el pensamiento del italiano Primo Levi y defender como apropiado el referirnos a él como un ‘humanista crítico’. Para ello seguimos los criterios propuestos por T. Todorov para caracterizar la doctrina humanista en tres elementos: autonomía del yo, finalidad del tú y universalidad de los ellos, y los propios del humanismo crítico, único posible tras lo ocurrido en Auschwitz y Kolyma: el reconocimiento del horror del que somos capaces los seres humanos y la afirmación de la posibilidad del bien. Palabras-clave: Humanismo crítico, Campos de concentración, Sobreviviente,Testimonio, Memoria. The aim of this research is to reflect upon the though…

New insights into the diversity dynamics of Triassic conodonts
2013
International audience; In this paper, we examine the diversity trends and the evolutionary patterns of Triassic conodonts through a newly powered large-scale data-set compiled directly from the primary literature. Paleodiversity dynamics analyses have been undertaken by working at the species level and using a system of time units based on biozone subdivisions for a fine temporal level resolution. The role of heterogeneous duration of taxa in diversity estimates has been evaluated through the probabilistic profiles. Results reveal three different stages in the diversity behaviour of Triassic conodonts from standing metrics delimited by two inflections at the mid-Anisian and mid-Carnian. Su…
Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells and Cell Death
2011
Nowadays it is reported that, similarly to other solid tumors, colorectal cancer is sustained by a rare subset of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs), which survive conventional anticancer treatments, hanks to efficient mechanisms allowing escape from apoptosis, triggering tumor recurrence. To improve patient outcomes, conventional anticancer therapies have to be replaced with specific approaches targeting CSCs. In this review we provide strong support that BMP4 is an innovative therapeutic approach to prevent colon cancer growth increasing differentiation markers expression and apoptosis. Recent data suggest that in colorectal CSCs, protection from apoptosis is achieved by interleukin-4 (IL-4) a…
