Correlation between Anthropometric and Ultrasound Measurement for Dry Needling of The Iliocostalis Lumborum Muscle with a Safety Protocol: A Cross-Se…
2022
Introduction: the management of musculoskeletal pain through the application of dry needling (DN) is effective. The application of this technique can carry very infrequent major risks on muscles, such as on the iliocostalis lumborum due to its proximity to the kidney and the peritoneum. It is important to establish a DN protocol based on the different anthropometric variables of the subjects. Main objective: the main objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between different anthropometric variables and the skin-kidney and skin-peritoneum distances to establish the size of the needle that could perform DN in the iliocostalis lumborum muscle without risk. Design: a cross-se…
The Sociocultural Basis for Innovation
2018
This chapter argues how economic behaviour in geography could be understood as historically anchored varieties of practice. Contemporary European patterns replicate deep anthropological dispositions as suggested by authors like Geert Hofstede and Emmanuel Todd, and substantiated by Duranton et al. (Types and the persistence of regional disparities in Europe. Economic Geography, 85(1), 23–47, 2009). Old, formative schemes are still operating and new institutional forms, be they cultural, economic or political, are conditioned by their mechanisms. This also goes for innovation. However, in the field of innovation policies, culturally explained variations, cleavages and mismatches are translat…
Transhumanismo, discurso transgénero y digitalismo: ¿exigencias de justicia o efectos del espíritu de abstracción?
2021
There are three great existential challenges for the human being in the present time: transhumanism, transgender discourse and digitalism. These three phenomena are enormously powerful today because they are driven by two overwhelming forces which, however, tend to collide opposing each other. On the one hand, they are encouraged by a demand for justice and emancipation, which seeks to end deeply rooted forms of discrimination and to seek effective equality among all human beings. On the other hand, they are sustained on a philosophical basis that denies the intelligibility of reality and the teleological condition of human existence, proposing instead, as the only guide to orient human lif…
"Mad Men", "Los Soprano" y el "American way of life". Historia del capital en dos tiempos
1970
Don Draper (Mad Men, Matthew Weiner, AMC: 2007-2015) participa del nacimiento y consolidación dela sociedad de consumo sin ser consciente de la gran ficción que intenta creerse. Tony Soprano (TheSopranos, David Chase, HBO: 1999-2007) se agarra desesperadamente a los últimos restos de un idealde superación y esfuerzo que no solo está agotado sino que nunca fue verdaderamente coherente. Estetexto realiza un análisis textual, sociológico y discursivo comparativo de ambas figuras en cuantorepresentativas de la evolución del discurso capitalista en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, es decir, laartificialidad del discurso hegemónico de búsqueda de la felicidad como uno de los grandes mitos delneolib…
dentity Narrative in informal family and non-family caregivers of people on dialysis
2019
Objetivo. Explorar la identidad narrativa de las cuidadoras informales familiares o no, de personas en diálisis. Método. Entrevistas en profundidad a 9 cuidadoras de personas de programas de Hemodiálisis o Diálisis Peritoneal del Hospital General Universitario. Se obtuvo autorización del Comité de Ética y los consentimientos informados de los participantes. El análisis se hizo desde la Teoría Fundamentada. Las narraciones transcritas y codificadas fueron sometidas a reflexión hermenéutica. Resultados. La enfermedad genera un impacto y las cuidadoras asumen el cuidado como pueden. Surge el sentimiento de “cuidado como destino” y como dotación intrínseca de “ser mujer”, percibido como una esp…
Localization of latency-associated transcripts in the uterovaginal plexus of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 latently infected mice.
1997
The vagina and medulla of the adrenal gland of mice vaginally infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 were examined in the latent stage of infection (5 to 51 weeks post-infection). RNA in situ hybridization with HSV-1 and -2 latency-associated transcript (LAT) RNA probes resulted in positively stained neuronal cell nuclei in the uterovaginal plexus, but not in the medulla of the adrenal gland. These organs were chosen because HSV antigens can be detected not only in the vaginal epithelium, but also in neurons of the uterovaginal plexus and in the medulla of the adrenal gland at the acute stage of genital infection. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing LATs in…
Prehibernation and hibernation effects on the D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase of the heavy and light mitochondria from liver jerboa (Jaculus orient…
2007
The D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH) (EC 1.1.1.30) from liver jerboa (Jaculus orientalis), a ketone body converting enzyme in mitochondria, in two populations of mitochondria (heavy and light) has been studied in different jerboa states (euthermic, prehibernating and hibernating). The results reveal: (1) important variations between states in terms of ketones bodies, glucose and lipid levels; (2) significant differences between the BDH of the two mitochondrial populations in term of protein expression and kinetic properties. These results suggest that BDH leads an important conformational change depending on the physiological state of jerboa. This BDH structural change could be the c…
Peroxisomal changes during hiberation of jerboa (Jaculus orientalis)
1998
As a member of the order of Rodentia, jerboa (Jaculus orientalis) is a natural deep hibernator and lives in subdesert highland in many parts of the world, including Morocco. Its small size (adult body weight ∼100 g), availability in the wild, tolerance to laboratory conditions, and some unique peroxisomal properties make it a suitable research subject for exploring peroxisome biogenesis under prehibernating and hibernating states. During 3 w, animals referred to as the prehibernator group were exposed to cold temperature (5 to 7°C) with food ad libitum. Part of the prehibernator group entered deep hibernation 24 to 48 h after starvation. Animals were sacrificed 4 and 6 d after starting hibe…
Expansión de la temporalidad y erosión de la relación de empleo estándar en España: ¿La irrupción de un nuevo paradigma de relación de empleo?
2018
Desde la década de los ochenta el mercado de trabajo español ha venido caracterizado por la persistencia de unas tasas muy altas de temporalidad hasta convertirse este en un problema crónico de la sociedad española, que, además, no ha tenido -en cuanto a magnitud- parangón en el resto de países de la UE. Las diferentes fórmulas de contratación temporal creadas e incentivadas por la vía normativa en un proceso de “reforma laboral permanente” se han convertido, en conjunción con otros factores entre los que destaca la utilización empresarial de los contratos temporales en el límite de la legislación, cuando no en claro fraude de ley, en una efectiva vía para la segmentación laboral y una clar…
Academic capitalism and the informational fraction of the transnational capitalist class
2013
This article is based on the idea that if we are witnessing an on-going shift towards the transnational phase of capitalism, this objective structural change should also be taken into account in higher education studies. In this sense, this article reflects the increased scholarly attention into the relationship between globalisation and higher education since the 1990s. The main purpose of this article is to contribute to these discussions by developing dialogue between global capitalism theories and the theory of academic capitalism. In order to achieve this, William Robinson's concept of the transnational capitalist class (TCC) will be amended to include also the informational fraction. …
