El duelo corresponde a sentimientos individuales y colectivos relativos a la pérdida y la muerte. Es un concepto polisémico cuya aprehensión apela diversas ramas de conocimiento, como la psicología, el psicoanálisis, la historia, la antropología, la filosofía, etc. Se puede abrir su comprensión a otras realidades más englobantes, como la situación de enfermedad terminal, la muerte inminente, o todo tipo de pérdidas significativas en la existencia humana. El duelo es un fenómeno de la condición humana e interesa a cada cual, independientemente de su cultura, su época o la edad. Se refiere a la vivencia de un individuo determinado, confrontado a su estado de finitud, y expresa el “malestar” q…
Distinctive attributes for predicted secondary structures at terminal sequences of non-classically secreted proteins from proteobacteria
2008
Abstract C- and N-terminal sequences (64 amino acid residues each) of 89 non-classically secreted type I, type III and type IV proteins (Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL) from proteobacteria were transformed into predicted secondary structures. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) confirmed the significance of location (C- or N-termini) and secretion type as essential factors in respect of quantitative representations of structured (a-helices, b-strands) and unstructured (coils) elements. The profiles of secondary structures were transcripted using unequal property values for helices, strands and coils and corresponding numerical vectors (independent variables) were subjected to multiple discriminan…
Cyber Threat Analysis in Smart Terminal Systems
2023
Cyber threats create significant factors that challenge traditional threat prevention mechanisms in harbor areas and port terminals. It has been recognized that understanding security functionalities in the harbor area is based on a more traditional experience of what it requires. It is not enough that the maritime and harbor ecosystem repeats only physical security service routines regarding random checks of passengers and vehicles and customs functions on cargo and passenger transportation. Smart environments and infrastructures are widely expanded in urban areas and create more challenges if old practices are combined with new technologies and functionalities. Traditional threats have ch…
Futile Therapy versus Worthy Dying: Anthropological and Ethical Arguments
2020
Nowadays, issues related to the final stages of life stand more and more at the centre of problems relating to life and health, which result, for example, from the demographic situation in highly developed societies. In the last decades of the twentieth century, an explosion of therapeutic possibilities in the field of technical medicine has caused such questions to be voiced more and more frequently: Should humans try to live as long as possible, or should they live as long as they can with dignity and then die with dignity? Despite the seemingly obvious answer, there is still considerable medical and social resistance to the policy of discontinuing futile therapy. There are probably many …
