Epidural hematoma after cochlear implantation in a 2.5-year-old boy.
2005
OBJECTIVE Report a case of an epidural hematoma after cochlear implantation in a 2.5-year-old boy, the diagnostic and therapeutical emergency management, as well as the postinterventional course and rehabilitation of the child. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case review. PATIENT Two and a half-year-old boy, suffering from early onset, profound sensorineural hearing loss had been diagnosed at an age of 1.5 years, which had been more severe on the right side initially, but had progressed to bilateral deafness. INTERVENTION AND COMPLICATION: Cochlear implantation on the left side, followed up by an extensive epidural hematoma, causing intracranial compression with a midline shift of 15 mm to the r…
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…
A review of runoff generation and soil erosion across scales in semiarid south-eastern Spain
2011
Climate, lithology, soil and especially, intense land use/cover changes, make SE Spain very vulnerable to runoff generation and water erosion leading to loss of nutrients and organic matter and to infrequent but devastating floods, reservoir siltation and mass failures. This susceptibility has led to heavy economic investment and research efforts since the 1980s, making this region a worldwide reference for understanding the hydrology and geomorphology of semiarid ecosystems. Runoff and soil erosion have been intensively studied throughout the last decades in various natural ecosystems as well as in abandoned farmlands. Research has considered a wide range of methods and spatial and tempora…

Objective Dopamine is an endogenous neuromodulator in cortical circuits and the basal ganglia. In animal models of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), seizure threshold is modulated to some extent by dopamine, with D1-receptors having a pro- and D2-receptors an anticonvulsant effect. We aimed to extend our previously reported results on decreased D2/D3 receptor binding in the lateral epileptogenic temporal lobe and to correlate them with demographic and seizure variables to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying involvement of the dopaminergic system in the epileptogenesis of TLE. Methods To quantify D2/D3 receptor binding, we studied 21 patients with TLE and hippocampal sclero…
Education and the Concept of Time
2013
Abstract As we speak about time in the context of everyday life, we have no problem with what we mean by time. We take time as given. Different kinds of theories of development rely on the ordinary concept of time. Time is a sequence of instants, and we are moving along from the past to the future, from birth to death. Moving in time also means development. It does not take into account how a human being is in the time. It flattens our view of human life and cannot describe our manifold being. According to theories of development, if a child does not behave in a certain instant as the theories expect, there must be a problem with that child or she has not developed as well as others. Heideg…
A Modern-Day Diary : Notes for Future Humans
2021
Abstract Time and being can be seen as a space. A modern-day diary is a way of exploring that space or state of being. Outlining and shaping it requires word, image and imagination. The question is framed cultural-philosophically, and the mode of writing is poetic essayism. Otherwise, the creative untangling and differentiation of the poetics of lived space is not possible. After all, the goal is to combine science and art and weave them into the same reflective fabric. The essential aspects include thoughts about the fullness and filling of something, about its fulfilment. Then the present moment is not seen as marking a boundary in just one direction: it is not just an endpoint of the pas…
Modes de représentation des trajectoires quotidiennes des habitants
2007
Representing the daily trajectories of individuals Current research on inhabitants' daily mobilities has confirmed that individual mobility strategies are based on activity programmes. In France, the Household Travel Survey (HTS) is one of the principal sources of information about individual travel behaviour. Despite some drawbacks, they are rich sources of spatio-temporal data, as well as providing information on individual and household characteristics. However, for daily mobilities to be analysed, the raw data need to be reorganized. This study is based on the Grenoble-area Household Travel Survey, carried out in 2002. We propose to explore the HTS data through examples of individual mo…
Hydrodynamic response of a loam soil after wetting with different methods
2023
Different points in a field can be wetted with different natural or artificial rainfall amounts and intensities. Therefore, a non-uniform soil wetting could occur during short-term monitoring of soil hydrodynamic parameters and its global effect on soil characterization is not easily predictable. For an initially dry loam soil, a sequence of three beerkan infiltration runs was performed at fixed sampling points in a period of two weeks. Immediately after the first beerkan run, the soil was perturbed by adding an additional water volume differing with the sampling point by the amount of water (0, 100 or 227 mm) and the application methodology (rainfall simulation, another beerkan run). As co…
