Scientific evaluation on substance abuse research through web of science over the 2008–2012 period
2015
s / Drug and Alcohol Dependence 156 (2015) e102–e182 e149 agonist treatment for opioid dependence utilized postpartum reproductive health care services and identify the prevalence rate and contraceptive methods of this population. Methods: Data on contraceptive use were collected around the time of the postpartum OB visit for participants in the MOTHER (MaternalOpioidTreatment:HumanExperimentalResearch) study for this secondary analysis. Results: Among the 175 MOTHER participants, data about contraceptivemethodwereonlyavailable for43% (n=76)of the sample andmany reported not attending their postpartumOBvisit. Among those with data, 45% of participants (n=34) reported not using any contracep…
Maternal-foetal immunity: an admirable design in favour of life
2014
La modulazione della risposta immunitaria materno-fetale, volta a beneficiare la gestazione di un individuo il cui materiale genetico e estraneo a quello della madre (poiche il 50% e di origine paterna), e un processo biologico, unico, molto complesso, che coinvolge il padre, la madre e il bambino. I primi segnali emessi dal liquido seminale sono gia in grado di promuovere l’inizio di un adattamento immunitario, in cui gli antigeni espressi successivamente dal feto e la sequenza di meccanismi umorali e cellulari dei quali la madre sara responsabile nell’ultimo trimestre, formeranno un ambiente di equilibrio omeostatico, in cui i processi di tolleranza immunitaria volti a tutelare la nuova v…
The Individual and the Community in Stoic Pragmatism
2023
The present paper outlines John Lachs’s idea of stoic pragmatism and develops its important part that is the relation between the individual and the community. In his project, Lachs reduces the whole tradition of Stoic philosophy to its later, Roman version and tries to link it with the philosophical tradition of American pragmatism (especially William James, John Dewey, and George Santayana, who is close to pragmatism at some points) hoping that it is possible for these two to "enrich and complete each other" so that to provide "a better attitude to life than either of the two views alone." Stoic pragmatism pursues factual improvement in the quality of life for individuals living in given …
Los profesionales de la organización y gestión de actividad física y deporte en las instalaciones deportivas y entidades: características socio-demog…
2007
Este articulo pertenece al estudio realizado en la Comunidad Valenciana sobre la situacion profesional de las personas que trabajan en funciones de actividad fisica y deporte. Primeramente se contextualiza las tareas de organizacion y gestion de la actividad fisica y deporte en el mercado laboral de la actividad fisica y el deporte y despues se detalla aspectos especificos profesionales y tecnicos de esta funcion laboral. Posteriormente se describe, reflexiona y concluye diversos aspectos sobre las caracteristicas sociodemograficas de las personas que realizan las tareas de organizacion y gestion de la actividad fisica y deporte asi como sus caracteristicas formativas y las necesidad de que…
Geometrical foundations of fractional supersymmetry
1997
A deformed $q$-calculus is developed on the basis of an algebraic structure involving graded brackets. A number operator and left and right shift operators are constructed for this algebra, and the whole structure is related to the algebra of a $q$-deformed boson. The limit of this algebra when $q$ is a $n$-th root of unity is also studied in detail. By means of a chain rule expansion, the left and right derivatives are identified with the charge $Q$ and covariant derivative $D$ encountered in ordinary/fractional supersymmetry and this leads to new results for these operators. A generalized Berezin integral and fractional superspace measure arise as a natural part of our formalism. When $q$…

Analytic results for planar three-loop integrals for massive form factors
2016
We use the method of differential equations to analytically evaluate all planar three-loop Feynman integrals relevant for form factor calculations involving massive particles. Our results for ninety master integrals at general $q^2$ are expressed in terms of multiple polylogarithms, and results for fiftyone master integrals at the threshold $q^2=4m^2$ are expressed in terms of multiple polylogarithms of argument one, with indices equal to zero or to a sixth root of unity.
El “Aula del Cel”: astronomy approaching high school
2005
The “Aula del Cel” is a project carried out by the Astronomical Obsevatory of the University of Valencia, Spain. It offers high-school teachers a tool for teaching Astronomy to 10 to 17 year-old students. Different programs, experiments, and audiovisual presentations have been prepared by a team formed both by professional astronomers and teachers, and are offered in a format chosen to suit each particular age and curriculum group. Special sessions have been designed for students with special needs (for example blind or autistic children) in close contact with the pedagogical teams responsible for their education. Nearly three thousand students have already visited the “Aula del Cel” over t…
Equilibrium/steady-state concept in phytoplankton ecology
2003
This paper summarises the outcomes of the 13th Workshop of the International Association of Phytoplankton Taxonomy and Ecology (IAP). The authors mostly addressed their contributions on the following topics: the effect of trophic state on the attainment of a steady-state; the establishment of equilibria in deep and shallow lakes; the role of spatial heterogeneity, disturbance, and stress in the establishment of equilibrium assemblages; the mechanisms leading to the steady state; the frequency and longevity of equilibrium phases, and the role of morphological and physiological plasticity of phytoplankton in maintaining the (apparently) same populations under different environmental condition…
Humoral responses during wound healing in Holothuria tubulosa (Gmelin, 1788)
2021
Abstract Wounds in living organisms trigger tissue-repair mechanisms. The sea cucumber (Holoturia tubulosa) is an excellent model species for achieving a better understanding of the humoral and cellular aspects involved in such healing processes. Consequently, this study assesses data on its morphometric, physiological and humoral responses 1, 2, 6, 24 and 48h after wound induction. In particular, morphometric data on the weight, width, length and coelomic-fluid volume of the species were estimated at different times during our experiments. In addition, the humoral aspects related to the enzymatic activity of esterase, alkaline phosphatase and peroxidase, as well as the cytotoxic activity o…
