Locking Reconstruction Double Plating of Distal Humeral Fractures: How Many Screws in the Distal Ulnar Column Segment in A3 Fracture Provide Superior…
2009
Objectives: Two 90-degree configurations of locking reconstruction plates with different numbers of screws in the distal ulnar column segment of distal extra-articular humeral fractures with metaphyseal comminution (A3) were biomechanically investigated. Methods: Eight pairs of fresh-frozen human humeri were used. For paired comparison, the humeri were divided into 2 randomized groups. In both groups, double-plate osteosyntheses with locking reconstruction plates were performed in 90-degree configurations. In group 1, the posteriorly placed radial column plate exceeded the capitellum and the ulnar column plate extended into the ulnar sulcus. The ulnar plate was molded around the medial epic…

Integrated Reputation Analysis at Daimler
2011
Einwiller and Kuhn then describe how Daimler has developed “SCORA,” its integrated system for corporate reputation analysis. To establish the system, Daimler firstly had to determine target variables, influencing factors, and relevant stakeholder groups. The authors explain how their company has identified relevant regions, benchmarks, and the appropriate methodology for its tool. “SCORA” combines media content analysis and stakeholder surveying to fully capture Daimler’s reputation. It additionally reveals relations between stakeholders’ perceptions and the depiction of the car manufacturer in the media. An example of such an analysis concludes this chapter.

Latin Epic Poetry for James I of Aragon: the Poem Triumphus Valentinus by the Valencian Novator Josep Ignasi Barberà
2013
El poema Triumphus Valentinus del valencià Josep Ignasi Barberà, obra encara inèdita i poc coneguda, està format per més de cinc mil hexàmetres llatins que narren la presa de Valencia per part del rei Jaume I. Es tracta d’un poema de principi del segle xviii, amb característiques pròpies del gust neoclàssic i preil·lustrat, on coincideixen l’interès per la història valenciana, la tradició clàssica grecoromana i el reflex del canvi dinàstic a la corona hispànica. El model estètic seguit per l’autor és clarament l’Eneida de Virgili, tant per forma com per contingut. Malgrat l’interès mostrat per autors coetanis com Gregori Maians, l’obra ha passat pràcticament desapercebuda. The poem Triumphu…

Tejido adiposo epicárdico, adiponectina y leptina: Una fuente potencial de riesgo cardiovascular en Enfermedad renal crónica
2020
The importance of cardiometabolic factors in the inception and progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is increasingly being recognized. Beyond diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome, other factors may be responsible in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) for the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease, which is estimated to be 5- to 20-fold higher than in the general population. Although undefined uremic toxins are often blamed for part of the increased risk, visceral adipose tissue, and in particular epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), have been the focus of intense research in the past two decades. In fact, several lines of evidence suggest their involvement in athe…

2019
espanolUrsula K. Le Guin reescribe en Lavinia (2008) la leyenda del establecimiento de Eneas en Italia desde el punto de vista de su protagonista femenina. Este articulo analiza tres aspectos donde el nuevo planteamiento narrativo entra en conflicto con la propuesta virgiliana: la recreacion de la religion arcaica de los latinos, la racionalizacion del aparato mitologico propio de la epica, y la critica directa a las virtudes morales propias del estamento guerrero.

Function and Sacrality of Philoctetes' Bow
2019
El arco de Filoctetes, como objeto simbólico importante y sagrado de la tragedia homónima de Sófocles, ha sido estudiado en numerosas ocasiones. A pesar de ello, su importancia como arma sagrada merece una revisión que atienda a los contextos religioso y épico de los que bebió Sófocles. Según la teoría tradicional, esta sacralidad deriva de la proveniencia divina del arco, que procede de Heracles. Con todo, en algunos pasajes podría explicarse mejor por la importancia que, en determinados contextos religiosos, adquirían ciertos objetos venerables que eran considerados también sagrados.
