The impact of noise on the population of an urban centre in Valencia (Spain)
1997
Acoustic contamination in residential areas is a generalized problem. This paper reports the results of a survey trying to evaluate this contamination in the historical center of Valencia and about its effects upon that district's residents. A total of 700 residents in 11 different neighbourhoods of the city of Valencia were interviewed; at the same time environmental noise was determined at 225 different points within the area of study. In the historical center of Valencia, there exists an important problem of environmental noise and the daily levels clearly exceed the recommended limits.
Learning Curve in Surgical Treatment of Odontoid Fixation for a Series of Type II C2 Fractures
2019
The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) is a complex anatomical area upon which most of the motion of the upper cervical spine depends [1]. Because of its unique range of motion, the CVJ is subject to several types of traumatic injury; it has been shown that odontoid fractures are the most common ones in the general population and are the most common isolated spinal fractures [2]. Accounting for up to 18% of all cervical fractures, odontoid fractures are the most common ones in elderly patients [3], in whom they account for up to 60% of spinal cord injuries [4].
Deconstructing and reconstructing resilience: a dynamic network approach
2019
Resilience is still often viewed as a unitary personality construct that, as a kind of anti-nosological entity, protects individuals against stress-related mental problems. However, increasing evidence indicates that the maintenance of mental health in the face of adversity results from complex and dynamic processes of adaptation to stressors that involve the activation of several separable protective factors. Such resilience factors can reside at biological, psychological and social levels and may include stable predispositions (such as genotype or personality traits) and malleable properties, skills, capacities or external circumstances (such as gene expression patterns, emotion regulatio…
La traumatographie beckettienne
2018
The trauma of Beckett’s dramatic characters consists first of all of greater and greater disability of aging body, and of persvasive emptiness. In an indeterminated space characterized by catastrophy, man’s life was reduced to agony, being relieved by irony and poetry.

Following traumatic brain injury (TBI) neuroinflammatory processes promote neuronal cell loss. Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a neuropeptide with immunomodulatory properties, which may offer neuroprotection. Due to short half-life and pigmentary side-effects of α-MSH, the C-terminal tripeptide α-MSH(11–13) may be an anti-inflammatory alternative. The present study investigated the mRNA concentrations of the precursor hormone proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and of melanocortin receptors 1 and 4 (MC1R/MC4R) in naive mice and 15 min, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after controlled cortical impact (CCI). Regulation of POMC and MC4R expression did not change after trauma, while MC1R levels incr…
La storia celata del trauma complesso. Una rassegna teorica tra realtà clinica e problemi diagnostici
2017
Il presente contributo si propone di analizzare le difficoltà di riconoscimento e legittimazione, storicamente presenti nello studio del trauma psichico infantile, nonché di stimolare riflessioni aperte sulla possibilità che tali difficoltà siano ancora attuali. Recenti contributi sullo studio del disturbo traumatico dello sviluppo sottolineano infatti l’importanza degli aspetti relazionali e cumulativi nonché del momento evolutivo in cui il soggetto vive le proprie esperienze traumatiche.
Esimiehensä kiusaamat : fenomenologinen tutkimus työpaikkakiusaamisen kokemuksesta
2015
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvata työpaikkakiusaamisen kokemus esimiehen kiusatessa alaistaan. Työpaikkakiusaamisen kokemuksen ilmiön ymmärrettiin tässä tutkimuksessa todentuvan tajunnallisina merkityssuhteina. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli fenomenologisen tutkimusorientaation avulla kuvata koetun kiusaamisen kokonaisuutta, ja etsiä aineistolähtöisesti tutkimushenkilöiden sellaisia työpaikkakiusaamiseen liittämiä merkityksiä, jotka olivat yleisiä, yhteisesti koettuja. Aineistona olivat lehti – ilmoituksin kerätyt kirjoitukset omakohtaisesti koetusta työpaikkakiusaamisesta. Kirjoitukset analysoitiin soveltaen Perttulan fenomenologisen psykologian metodia, ja analyysi toteutettiin kahdessa o…
Dealing with a Trauma Burdened Past: between Remembering and Forgetting
2017
Recognition that societies will not be able to build a future as long as they do not face the ‘demons of the past’ has become a kind of universal truth over the last decades of the 20th Century (Gibney et al., 2008, p. 1). This view, though challenging and ambiguous, is reflected in the globally present attempts to improve or rebuild relations within and between different communities at the domestic and international level. The question concerning, on the one hand, the essence and most essential elements and, on the other hand, the instruments and the limitations of rebuilding relations, as well as the political implications of those processes have become the broad area of interest and the …

Kvalitatīva datortomogrāfijas izmeklējuma attēlu izvērtējums pacientiem galvas un kakla traumas ceļu satiksmes negadījumos
2019
Bakalaura darba tēma ir ,,Kvalitatīva datortomogrāfijas izmeklējuma attēlu izvērtējums pacientiem galvas un kakla traumas ceļu satiksmes negadījumos”. Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka tas, ka pēdējos gados Latvijā ir vērojama tendence pieaugt ceļu satiksmes negadījumiem, līdz ar to pieaug cietušo un ievainoto skaits, kas gūst galvas un kakla traumas. Kopā ar traumu skaita pieaugumu, palielinās arī galvas un mugurkaula kakla daļas veikto datortomogrāfijas izmeklējumu skaits, tādēļ nepieciešams pievērst uzmanību veikto izmeklējumu kvalitātei un novērst cēloņus, kas rada neatbilstību attēlu kvalitātes kritēriju standartiem. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot kvalitatīva datortomogrāfijas izmeklējuma…
