Primeras consideraciones a la Ley Orga?nica 3/2021, de 24 de marzo, de regulación de la eutanasia. el reconocimiento de un nuevo derecho
2021
The aim of this paper is to carry out a brief study of the recent Organic Law 3/2021, of March 24, on the regulation of euthanasia (BOE. March 25, 2021) approved in Spain, from a constitutional perspective, highlighting its main aspects. The matter under study is not exempt from controversy because it covers legal, medical and ethical considerations of great complexity.

Espais de formació de la responsabilitat social universitària
2018
L’article està basat en l’experiència de les «Jornadas de ‘Humanismo y Universidad’» celebrades a la Escuela Universitaria de Trabajo Social «Ntra. Sra. del Camino» amb l’objectiu de contribuir al desenvolupament d’iniciatives innovadores en la formació de la Responsabilitat Social Universitària (RSU) i, així, fomentar accions que involucren els diferents agents implicats, inclosos els beneficiaris finals, en els processos d’innovació i la cerca d’un aprenentatge socialment responsable. Les Jornades constitueixen una «bona pràctica», que permet obtindre i mesurar resultats significatius per a definir els elements que determinen l’efectivitat d’aquesta pràctica, l’aplicació de la qual se sit…
Predictive distributions that mimic frequencies over a restricted subdomain
2020
A predictive distribution over a sequence of $$N+1$$ events is said to be “frequency mimicking” whenever the probability for the final event conditioned on the outcome of the first N events equals the relative frequency of successes among them. Exchangeable distributions that exhibit this feature universally are known to have several annoying concomitant properties. We motivate frequency mimicking assertions over a limited subdomain in practical problems of finite inference, and we identify their computable coherent implications. We provide some examples using reference distributions, and we introduce computational software to generate any complete specification desired. Theorems on reducti…
Adolescents en conflicte amb la llei: víctimes o victimàries?: una aproximació des de la sociologia i el treball social
2008
En éste artículo se realiza un aproximación al fenómeno de la delincuencia juvenil, desde el paradigma de la vulnerabilidad y la exclusión social. Desde ésta aproximación se realiza la investigación en un territorio concreto, como es el municipio de Burjassot en el área metropolitana de València (País Valencià), se profundiza en las variables de vulnerabilidad de éstos adolescentes, lo que nos permite relacionar su realidad con la nueva cuestión social. El trabajo incide en la complejidad del fenómeno, huyendo de explicaciones lineales y sencillas, extrayendo como variables fundamentales a investigar: la realidad educativa, el barrio de residencia en el municipio, la existencia previa de in…
Treatment response to dimethyl fumarate is characterized by disproportionate CD8+ T cell reduction in MS
2017
Background: The effect of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) on circulating lymphocyte subsets and their contribution as predictors of clinical efficacy have not yet been investigated in multiple sclerosis (MS). Objective: To evaluate lymphocytes and lymphocyte subsets (analyzed 6 months after DMF start) in MS patients with and without disease activity after 1 year of treatment in a retrospective study. Methods: Peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets were analyzed by flow cytometry. Untreated MS patients ( n = 40) were compared to those 6 months after onset of DMF treatment ( n = 51). Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) disease activity of DMF-treated patients were assessed in the first year un…
A new set of 299 pictures for psycholinguistic studies : French norms for name agreement, image agreement, conceptual familiarity, visual complexity,…
2003
Pictures are often used as stimuli in studies of perception, language, and memory. Since performances on different sets of pictures are generally contrasted, stimulus selection requires the use of standardized material to match pictures across different variables. Unfortunately, the number of standardized pictures available for empirical research is rather limited. The aim of the present study is to provide French normative data for a new set of 299 black-and-white drawings. Alario and Ferrand (1999) were closely followed in that the pictures were standardized on six variables: name agreement, image agreement, conceptual familiarity, visual complexity, image variability, and age of acquisit…
Earlier timbre processing of instrumental tones compared to equally complex spectrally rotated sounds as revealed by the mismatch negativity.
2014
Harmonically rich sounds have been shown to be processed more efficiently by the human brain compared to single sinusoidal tones. To control for stimulus complexity as a potentially confounding factor, tones and equally complex spectrally rotated sounds, have been used in the present study to investigate the role of the overtone series in sensory auditory processing in non-musicians. Timbre differences in instrumental tones with equal pitch elicited a MMN which was earlier compared to that elicited by the spectrally rotated sounds, indicating that harmonically rich tones are processed faster compared to non-musical sounds without an overtone series, even when pitch is not the relevant infor…
Both contextual regularity and selective attention affect the reduction of precision‐weighted prediction errors but in distinct manners
2020
Predictive coding model of perception postulates that the primary objective of the brain is to infer the causes of sensory inputs by reducing prediction errors (i.e., the discrepancy between expected and actual information). Moreover, prediction errors are weighted by their precision (i.e., inverse variance), which quantifies the degree of certainty about the variables. There is accumulating evidence that the reduction of precision-weighted prediction errors can be affected by contextual regularity (as an external factor) and selective attention (as an internal factor). However, it is unclear whether the two factors function together or separately. Here we used electroencephalography (EEG) …
Comparison of Methods for the Assessment of Nonlinearity in Short-Term Heart Rate Variability under different Physiopathological States
2019
Despite the widespread diffusion of nonlinear methods for heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, the presence and the extent to which nonlinear dynamics contribute to short-term HRV are still controversial. This work aims at testing the hypothesis that different types of nonlinearity can be observed in HRV depending on the method adopted and on the physiopathological state. Two entropy-based measures of time series complexity (normalized complexity index, NCI) and regularity (information storage, IS), and a measure quantifying deviations from linear correlations in a time series (Gaussian linear contrast, GLC), are applied to short HRV recordings obtained in young (Y) and old (O) healthy su…
